When we envision a lightning strike we often image the Hollywood movies and Disney Cartoons, where the main character always nearly misses being electrocuted and walks away with a fuzzy hairstyle much like Albert Einstein's iconic firework hair.
Yet, in real life, the way individuals get injured or possibly even killed from lightning doesn't always match up with the Hollywood and Disney versions.
Electrocution and electrical injuries often happen during severe storms, when bad weather such as rain and snow, and even lightning, add extra weight on power lines causing them to break.
The reality of it is, aging infrastructures and power lines are not always properly maintained and inspected and as a result, kills far more people than we may realize. The lighting strikes we see dramatized in movies, no matter how horrifying, kill and injure far less.
But what should you do when lightning does strike?
Before we know it, it will be summer again, during which, severe thunder storms are more likely to take place. As a result, I believe now is a good time to share some important lightning safety tips, so you can look after yourself and your family from power line electrical disaster.
Be aware that lightning from storms can cause several types of fire hazards. Lighting can electrocute on contact, tear trees down the middle, knock down power lines and originate fires.
Lightning can also enter your residence through three main routes: a direct strike, through wiring and/or pipes, and through the floor.
Believe it or not, lightning can pass through the electrical, phone, plumbing, and radio/television systems or even travel through metal wires or bars in concrete walls and flooring.
Lightning strikes to the ground may stimulate shocks elsewhere, including in a pool.
Swimming pools have a much bigger area when you take into account the piping, gas lines, electric, and telephone wiring surrounding the location. Any appliances exposed to water, such as pool filters, can also short and become fire and shock hazards.
Call 9-1-1 in the case of an emergency.
Keep in mind the "30-30 rule": When you observe lightning, count the number of seconds until you hear thunder. If that time is 30 seconds or less, that generally means the thunderstorm is within six miles and can be harmful. Look for shelter immediately. Lightning threats continue much longer than most individuals think. A good suggestion is to wait half an hour after the last observed lightning or thunder before returning to your normal activities.
If power lines come down: Call 9-1-1 and stay a good distance away from the downed lines. Always presume a power line is live.
Stay inside: If a thunderstorm is forthcoming, get indoors and stay there. Remain away from windows, doors and porches.
Protect your pets: Bring outdoor pets inside.
Don't use phones unless it's an emergency: Discontinue the use of all phones, especially cordless, unless it's an emergency. Phone use is the leading cause of indoor lightning injuries in the U.S. If possible, keep a hard-wired telephone in an easy to reach location that can be plugged in when there's an emergency.
Avoid touching electrical equipment and cords: If you want to unplug any electronic equipment, make sure you do so well before the storm arrives. If there's a power failure, turning off all electrical appliances may avoid damage if a power surge should happen when lines are re-energized.
Don't run water and avoid contact with plumbing: Stay out of pools, hot tubs or other bodies of water like lakes. If lightning strikes your home, it may send a current of electricity across metal pipes and electrify anything that comes in contact with the water.
Be prepared: Collect emergency items and store them in a place you can easily get to without light: flashlight, extra batteries, bottled water, snacks, a portable radio, first-aid kit and blankets.
We can never be over prepared when lightning strikes. Mother Nature is without a doubt more powerful than humans, but we can take several steps to prepare and maintain ourselves and our loved ones safe during a storm.

All species and hybrids occurring in Britain and Ireland are given full descriptions. The taxa included comprise 15 species (10 violets; 5 pansies) and 11 hybrids (8 violets; 3 pansies). Each species description includes a detailed list of its characteristics; data, with map, on its distribution; habitat requirements; conservation; NVC communities; associated species; first record in Britain & Ireland. Notes on interesting facts are also given. A section follows on infraspecific taxa and hybrids with details, where applicable, of any varieties. The accepted hybrids are given separate accounts which include tables comparing the main characteristics of the hybrid to those of its parents. Introductory material includes a full key to all the taxa included. This is complimented by an illustrated key to the violet species and, for each similar pairs of both violets and pansies, a list of the key differences between them. Also included are a glossary of botanical terms used and a full bibliography.
"The Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland [...] has over the years produced an excellent series of handbooks that each deals with a difficult group of plants [...] Violas takes a new approach in being in full colour with many photographs [...] [a] worthy addition to the series."
"The 16 previous BSBI Handbooks have been a varied bunch, united by a simple purpose, that of helping botanists to get to grips with difficult or critical groups of plants. No. 17 has gone one better. Multicoloured wild pansies blaze across the back and front covers, announcing that this is a book to be enjoyed, as well as one to be consulted frequently. There is always a tension between meeting the increasing demands of the serious botanist and opening an otherwise closed door so that a wider group of enthusiasts can walk through. Violas of Britain and Ireland has negotiated this tricky line with skill. [...] This admirable Handbook will bring many new records to light. Most of these, I suspect, will be hybrids. In between will be the 'head-scratchers'. [...] Violas may not provide all the answers, but it will give you plenty of detailed questions to ask."

Volvo Switches From Diesel To Electric Cars In Vision Of Cleaner Future
By Brian Spaen
Car manufacturers such as Volkswagen and Ford continue to dive into the electric vehicle market. It's becoming increasing popular for everyone to at least have a plan to create these models in the future, and Volvo is joining the list. Not only are they going to be releasing their first EVs in the next couple of years, but they will also continue to focus on public transportation.
Volvo didn't make the decision entirely by themselves. The Swedish-based car manufacturer will be facing tougher restrictions in terms of carbon emission standards and nitrogen oxides. As of 2016, average emissions totaled around 118.1 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer. By 2021, the European Union will enforce a limit of 95 grams of CO2/km.
Hakan Samuelsson, Volvo's CEO, remains committed to the upcoming diesel engine cars that are being released. Originally saying that cars operating on diesel would no longer be produced, the company has since backtracked on that statement. He admits that due to an increase in cost, electric alternatives will likely be more affordable.
In an interview with Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Samuelsson talked about how Tesla was an icon in the electric vehicle movement. Samuelsson explains, "We have to recognize that Tesla (TSLA.O) has managed to offer such a car for which people are lining up. In this area, there should also be space for us, with high quality and attractive design."

Volvo anticipates having its first fully electric car launched in China by 2019, where it will later be ready to export worldwide. Two years ago marked the first time that cars manufactured in China were sent to the United States. It's unknown exactly when these will be available, or what the costs of these new cars will be, for those in the US.
In addition to creating electric cars, Volvo will continue to expand their mark on public transportation. The company started development on electric buses all the way back in 2005 and released the 7900 Hybrid back in 2009. That's since upgraded to the Volvo 7900 Electric which made its debut in 2015. All of these vehicles have been tested at ElectriCity in Gothenberg, Sweden, which is essentially a developmental area for Volvo's buses.
With the updated electric bus, Volvo claims that it will open up more routes than traditional transportation. It has the ability to go inside buildings when possible and without making a lot of noise, it can ride in sensitive areas. Each bus can hold up to 105 passengers and there are three sets of doors on one side. Amazingly, all it takes is six minutes to rapidly charge the vehicle.
Back in February, Volvo received an order for 90 of these buses to be made for the TEC Group in Belgium. It's a record-setting order that was praised highly by the president of the buses department, Hakan Agnevall. In the company's press release, Agnevall believed that the order was proof that "cities are choosing electrified city bus traffic in order to deal with poor air quality and noise."

This post has been inspired by something I read on a favourite fashion blog of mine – Modern Legacy. In her post about subtle statements she mentions that statement pieces don't always need to be 'in your face' and covered in embellishments. Instead sometimes the most basic of details can create a statement; in her words: "dramatic silhouettes, edgy detailing, contrasting textures, bold metal embellishment" can all contribute to that statement.
As I've grown up I've veered away from those 'in your face' pieces and grown to like the more minimal dress code. This outfit is the essence of basics that make a statement. At first glance my outfit could seem quite plain, but then as you look closer you notice the tie detailing on the shirts sleeves and the off the shoulder neckline. Even the jeans which are a basic and must have in everyones wardrobe – men and women alike – this pair of straight legs from Topshop come with a step-hem; a modern nod to a wardrobe classic. Little details like this can make a bigger statement than someone wearing a bright pink, sequin encrusted jumpsuit. It talks in a more effortless, less-is-more way.
My favourite part about this outfit however is this Zara chain bag. After having a love/hate relationship with this bag for months, and many trips into many different Zara stores drooling over it and dragging anyone to see it that would let me; I finally caved and bought it. And oh thank goodness I did! It hasn't left my shoulder since, my new BFF in the shape of a Chanel quilted classic, framed with edgy chain detailing for that subtle statement we are trying to achieve. This bag can definitely be described as a subtle statement piece, with it's classic shape, eye catching chain strap and detailing, it speaks quality and versatility. A winner for those that live the minimalist way of dressing/life.


When composing this image, my eyes were first drawn to the warm and cool layers of light on the water as well as the texture of the water itself, the first caused by patchy clouds and the second, by high winds blowing off Lake Huron.
The seagull, seems quite at peace i the image, yet was being buffeted by the same winds which caused the water's surface to ripple. The same ripples which give it the appearance of textured glass, rather than water.
It's a strange image when I look back to the circumstances. The scene looks quite peaceful, but that was not the case at all. I think what creates this sense of calm was the unusual light that day. Despite the stormy, windy conditions, the sky was filled with quick moving clouds and a great deal of sunshine. This mixed light created some interesting effects, like the golden reflection of the gull's belly in the water and the mix of blue to golden tones in the water.
Were it not for the tight ripples in the water as well as waving been there to make the image, I would think this to be a bright and calm morning photo of a seagull standing in water. Nothing special, until you look closer and start questioning it.
The seagull, as well as many others of its kind, stood in the shallow waters along the shores, bearing the winds and waves, looking for a morsel of food to blow in, biding their time, and waiting out the storm, which would soon pass.

I had no particular reason for making this image, other than it was peaceful. That's often the way of it; I have no intention of making a particular image, it's simply there, and it appeals to me. Often, I don't even know why at the time, I just know I need to capture this moment. It's not till I sit down to review the images of the day that I become aware of the 'why'.
In the case of this image of purple hosta blossoms, the 'why' is still not revealing itself to me. So, I sit and enjoy it, for what it is, taking in the colours and textures, reveling in the memory of a soft, summer day.

It's been many weeks since I posted a texture image but thought that this close up of a clover blossom was a good candidate. What looks like a single pink-purple flower from a distance is in fact a series of delicate striped flowers. Even the leaves have fine hairs adding another bonus texture.

This blossom seems so appropriate as the late spring colour transition continues, with pinks becoming more purple and the introduction of oranges and reds.
I had photographed this blossom a few days ago and set it in a vase to preserve it. The flower continued to mature with the once purple flowers yielding to a magenta centre, which has continued to expand.
There's something magical about the texture of this blossom that keeps me coming back. From first noticing the individual blossoms in the cluster to the delicate anthers and filaments. There's just so much to see in this flower. It reminds me of a fireworks burst, with all the colours.

I was challenged as to whether or not to post this image, as it is not framed to my satisfaction, and I did not want to edit it extensively and I was not happy with the various crops I attempted. Despite this, I was really drawn to the texture of teh complex leaf against the smooth, wet log when I made the image. So, here it is for your consideration, with my apologies.

I could not help myself with the title of this image of an emerging bud, covered in soft hairs, which actually protect the tender leaves from frosty mornings by retaining warmth. It was also a wonderful, warm spring day, so the warm and fuzzy just made sense. It automatically became my go-to image for texture this week.

Topic: The main Durban port users and the local community were consulted to determine the requirements and functions of a port, for the purposes of making Durban's harbour more productive, profitable, and commercially, community and environmentally sustainable. Many seaport functions can be improved for efficiency, both for current port modernisation and future physical port expansions. Will Durban's current modernisation and expansion process improve the prospects of Durban's maritime and municipal economy, and will it also provide user and community benefits that exceed displacement, opportunity and other costs? Will other stakeholder-identified port requirements and concerns be addressed?
Presenter: Jack Dyer is a post-graduate student with the Unit for Maritime Studies at the University of KwaZulu-Natal.

I hear a lot of talk about how to "do church." There isn't space to explore all the intricacies of this topic here. And the conversation often yields more questions than answers. What's on my mind is John the Baptist and Jesus. John the Baptist was certainly cool. Here's this shaggy guy ministering out in the desert, beyond the confines of religious structures, outside the box, off the grid. Surely, that's the way to do church: chuck all the old forms, go back to formula, let the river of life find its own channels to run in. That sounds pretty good until you consider Jesus. He was less shaggy, attended synagogue each week, and observed events on the Jewish liturgical calendar (i.e. Passover, Tabernacles) (Luke 4:16; Matt. 26:17; John 5:1, 7:2-10). I know, I know…Jesus "broke" the Sabbath and things like that (Luke 6:1-11). But He also functioned quite comfortably within the religious structures of His day. So this puts me in a pickle if I'm trying to find the right way to "do church." Do I disagree with Jesus? Or with John, whom Jesus said was the greatest prophet of all time (Luke 7:26-28)?
"Who" is more to the point. Church isn't a place, an activity, or a thing. It's a Person's body—Jesus's body. Do we function by a living connection with our Head? Do we draw experience-changing spiritual life from Him? Do we share that changed experience and life amongst ourselves and with the world? If we answer, "Yes," then how we "do church" may not be that important. Life comes in many forms. Just look at the number of species on this planet! (The number of insect species alone makes my point!!). If we answer, "No," to these questions, then, again, how we "do church" doesn't really matter. Death, too, takes many forms.
What does matter? Jesus; knowing that it's about His grace and not about doing it right (Eph. 2:8-9); trusting that we are God's workmanship (Eph. 2:10); allowing Him to break the mold instead of trying to fit ourselves in one.

This set of Geotechnical Engineering Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on "Tri axial Compression Test".
Explanation: The tri axial compression test was first introduced in U.S.A by A. casagrande and Karl Terzaghi in 1936-37.
2. Which of the following strength test is commonly used in the laboratory?
Explanation: As a shear test can be performed under all three drainage condition, tri axial test is most commonly used in research laboratory.
3. Which of the following outlet is provided at the base of the tri axial test apparatus?
Explanation: Three outlet connections are generally provided through the base of the test apparatus: cell fluid test, pore water outlet from the bottom of the specimen and the drainage outlet from the bottom of the specimen.
Explanation: Pore pressure developed in the specimen during the test can be measured with the help of a separate pore pressure measuring equipment such as Bishop's pore pressure apparatus developed by Bishop in 1950, 1961.
5. Bishop's apparatus does not contain which one of the following equipment?
Explanation: Bishop's apparatus mainly consists of the null indicator, the control cylinder, pressure gauge, mercury manometer and burette.
Explanation: In tri axial test, the major principle stress σ1 is applied in the vertical direction, and the other two principal stresses σ and σ are applied in the horizontal direction by the fluid pressure round the specimen.
Explanation: The vertical stress applied by the loading frame, through the proving ring is equal to (σ1 – σ3); this stress difference is called the deviator stress.
Explanation: When the soil is in the state of stress defined by the equation σ1'= σ3'tan2 α' + 2c' tan α' as principal stress relationship, it is said to be in plastic equilibrium.
Explanation: The deviator stress σd, is given as the ratio of additional axial load to the area A2 at failure or during at any stage of the test.

In just a few weeks, the yellow hi-vis vest has become such a potent political symbol that one risks being mistaken for a supporter of the rebellious gilets jaunes when cycling in Paris.
The gilets jaunes are a grass-roots revolt against high fuel prices, and they threaten to paralyse France on Saturday.
The cause of the price hikes are "eco taxes" meant to dissuade the French from using cars. "We choose to tax pollution and harmful products rather than workers," budget minister Gérald Darmanin explains. Yet the fuel taxes penalise the poor disproportionately.
In the hope of deflating the protests, prime minister Édouard Philippe on Wednesday announced €500 million of compensatory measures, including a €5,000 bonus for low-income earners who trade in polluting cars for a hybrid model.
The gilets jaunes have organised at least 630 protests nationwide via the blocage17novembre.com website, designed by an 18-year-old student. Some call for go-slows on highways. Others want to block roads, which is punishable by two years in prison and a €4,500 fine. Interior minister Christophe Castaner says no "total blockage" will be tolerated.
But several police unions have expressed sympathy, and promised not to punish petty or "middle-size" offences "out of solidarity with the citizens".
The movement has found an unlikely symbol in Jacline Mouraud, a 51-year-old accordion player, hypnotist and spiritual medium from Brittany who on October 18th posted a video message hectoring President Emmanuel Macron for "persecuting drivers".
Mouraud's video went viral, and has been viewed by more than six million people. "I have a thing or two to tell you," she starts out. The stream of accusations includes the price of fuel, the "hunt" for diesel vehicles, the "forest" of radars, the number of traffic tickets, the possibility tolls may be charged to enter large towns and rumours of mandatory bicycle registration.
"What are you doing with the dough, apart from changing the china at the Élysée and building a swimming pool?" Mouraud asks Macron.
The rise of the gilets jaunes coincides with Macron's record low 26 per cent approval rating. A poll published by Ifop on November 14th indicates two-thirds of French people expect a "social explosion" in coming months.
Macron has tried to counter the disillusionment by spending the first week of November on the road in northeastern France and by repeated appeals to reason. In a television interview given on the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier on Wednesday night, he said he wants to govern "in a different manner" in future. The French want respect, protection and solutions, "not declarations", Macron said. He promised that henceforward, his administration will spend much more time "on the ground".
Pascal Perrineau, a professor at Sciences Po and one of France's leading political scientists, notes that Macron's popularity collapsed in three stages. In May 2017, the month of his election, Macron had a 62 per cent approval rating. He fell 17 percentage points the first summer, when the classes populaires decided that Macron represented the rich, not them.
In late 2017 and early 2018, older people deserted Macron because he increased their social contributions and decided pensions would no longer be inflation-indexed. Last summer he began to lose his core middle-class supporters, because of the misconduct of his bodyguard, Alexandre Benalla, and several statements that were deemed arrogant or condescending.
Perrineau said strident, systematic criticism of Macron is often "not deserved" but that the president nonetheless "asks for it" by carelessly offending voters.
The government has accused the far right of trying to exploit the gilets jaunes. Several officials from Marine Le Pen's Rassemblement National and Nicolas Dupont Aignan's movement are helping to mobilise for Saturday's protests, but some mainstream parties also want to curry favour with the demonstrators.
Though media portray Le Pen as a spent force, "her electorate is still there", says Perrineau. A recent poll showed the RN leads voting intentions for the European parliamentary election next May, at 21 per cent to 19 per cent for Macron's La République en Marche.

CES 2018 Automotive Tech: Now You Can "See Through" Cars
By Tshaka Armstrong, FOX 11
With cones around a parking lot, it looks like a course to learn how to drive. But the man in the driver's seat has his eyes focused on his phone. Even both of Simon's hands are glued to it.... as the wheel continues to move itself. "I'm feeling good. I know I can trust the car, " Simon tells us. It's a course showing how we'll soon unlearn everything we ever knew about driving.
"By moving toward autonomy it will take away the risk of driving in a distracted mode, it will let you do things for the driver, better for the driver, faster for the driver." James Schwyn with Valeo, the tech company that supplies many big car brands, says at this year's CES, we're even closer to getting autonomous cars on the market one day. James says that, "what you would notice is probably a more smooth functioning. Maybe less start and stopping more smooth maneuvering."
But the company's biggest unveiling is a little Vegas magic! Valeo exclusively took FOX 11 on a ride: showing us technology that can make the car in front of yours disappear.
The company says its safer than pulling out in the next lane and seeing if it's safe to move past. So when is this technology going to be available? The company says at least 5 years. Until now, it's pretty fun to look at. Or not.

You make so many mindless and incoherent posts that I had to put you on ignore. Most ofthe time the things you post are random and senseless. You just clog up the New Posts feed with nonsense.
Guys. Be nice. He was harmless. Anybody can post on this forum. I think his feelings got hurt as he hasn't been back.
"Clog up the new post feed." Good one. Why would anyone bother to post here when they get swarmed by "defenders of the AD protocol?" I've seen people mocked for not knowing how to use features, or coldly directed to "Where we already have a thread on this" and so on. Understand these are last gasps from people that found this website, and they're quickly shown the back door. What do you want to happen here? They ain't coming back. All those folks that use to post here 20+ times a day each? They ain't coming back here, either. So you all can gang up on anyone that pokes their head into your little treehouse, because the tree is dying, and that treehouse isn't going to stay up for long.
Please don't play the pity card, it is degrading.
I'll admit I'm not perfect myself, but I do at least try to be respectful. Enough said.
Yep. Respect is so rare nowadays.
I think he "means well"...and yeah, he's harmless...don't think he'll be back tho'...So few of us ever post here, and agree with Alleycat and Saywhatkid..and that ol' saying? if you don't like the post then skip it over.

Small intimate weddings may bring in more enquiries to hotels
While some hoteliers aren't in favour of the 50-people limit for weddings, hoteliers in the mid-segment space are looking at this cap as an opportunity to host small events.
Sakshi Singh
The concept of a big-fat Indian wedding has taken a back seat for the foreseeable future. With the government putting a cap of maximum 50 people attending a wedding, small and intimate marriage functions are going to take place for some time now.
Businesses of leisure hotels and resorts, who were catering to the full-fledged destination wedding market, have seen a complete halt with no new enquiries. However, the hospitality industry at large, consisting of mid- and small- scale hotels, is gearing up to host 50-people weddings with all the precautionary hygiene measures at place.
But, some hoteliers are not in the favour of the 50-people limit because, according to them, the number cap should be according to the space available. On the other hand, hoteliers in the mid-segment space are looking at this as an opportunity to host small weddings.
"This pandemic has indeed put a spoke on the wedding season wheel and social-distancing is likely to make big wedding celebrations effectively impossible for the rest of this year. With the government now putting a cap on 50 people per wedding, hotels and resorts that boasted of extravagant weddings with bulk capacity will see an increase in cancellations and a decline in new bookings," said Sarbendra Sarkar, Founder and Managing Director, Cygnett Hotels and Resorts.
Sarkar is of the opinion that people will look at a more intimate setting that is also cost-effective, city hotels with outdoor spaces as well as well-aerated banquet halls may be milking this opportunity to increase bookings.
India hosts about 10 million weddings every year. While most of them are being postponed for the next year, many weddings are still taking place with people choosing hotels as the most trusted options.
"We anticipate that more and more guests would prefer hotels for the ceremony. The safety aspect of organising pre-wedding ceremonies in hotels is higher than doing so at home. From the host perspective, better monitoring of guests can be conducted at hotels and the packages would be far more affordable. Not to mention variety, quality and of course the convenience," said Shiv Kr. Mehan, COO, Leisure Hotels Group.
While hotels are all decked up to give small and hygienic wedding experiences under the number cap, the profit margin may differ when compared to larger weddings. "The margins get thinner but the cost of operation gets covered. It also depends on the location, F&B options, decor elements and other paraphernalia opted by the parties," Ankur Bhatia, Executive Director, Bird Group.
Mehan mentioned that there is always a base operating cost for any hotel or catering operation, which is to be factored in. "Certain fixed costs remain higher for larger venues designed for higher guest capacity hence margins would be affected for sure when we do a smaller gathering indoors. Teams need to be a little conscious when taking on smaller events. Better planning and execution should take care of margins," he further said.

Theodore Roosevelt is considered a principal architect of the U.S. national park system. To help mark his 150th birthday this fall, noted filmmaker Ken Burns will come to Harvard to offer remarks and show clips from his upcoming documentary, "The National Parks: America's Best Idea," due out in fall 2009. Scheduled for Oct. 3 at 4 p.m. in Sanders Theatre, Burns' talk, "Distance in His Eyes," is free and sponsored by the Theodore Roosevelt Collection of Houghton Library.
Burns' talk also marks the opening of a special exhibition planned to honor the Roosevelt sesquicentennial, "Through the Camera Lens: Theodore Roosevelt and the Art of Photography." Drawing on the Roosevelt Collection, a world-renowned resource for the study of the life and times of the 26th president, the exhibition will explore Roosevelt from several perspectives, including his mastery of the media and his love of the outdoors.
An avid outdoorsman, hunter, and naturalist, Roosevelt's commitment to conservationism led him to play a significant role in the early development of America's national parks, doubling the number from five to 10 during his presidency and setting the stage for future additions.
America's national parks are unique in that the United States was the first country to set aside land with the goal of preserving it for the enjoyment of all. Burns' latest film follows this idea from the mid-1800s onward, exploring the history of the parks through stories that pit preservation against exploitation, and individual rights against the community. It tells the stories of the characters behind those conflicts, people from all walks of life — rich and poor, famous and unknown — people like Roosevelt.
"Surely our people do not understand even yet the rich heritage that is theirs," Roosevelt wrote in his 1905 "Outdoor Pastimes of an American Hunter." "There can be nothing in the world more beautiful than the Yosemite, the groves of giant sequoias and redwoods, the Canyon of the Colorado, the Canyon of the Yellowstone, the Three Tetons; and our people should see to it that they are preserved for their children and their children's children forever, with their majesty all unmarred."
During his time in office, Roosevelt furthered his agenda by signing the Antiquities Act in 1906, a move that gave him authority to proclaim national monuments and historic sites on federal land without Congress' approval. "Among other things, he was able to gain protection for the Grand Canyon from mining interests by naming it a national monument, although it was not designated a national park until 1919," said Wallace Dailey, curator of the Theodore Roosevelt Collection.
In 1907, Roosevelt fought an amendment to the Agricultural Appropriations Act that would have handed control of some 16 million acres in the Northwest to Congress. He held off signing just long enough to effectively designate those millions of acres as national forest.
"There can be no greater issue than that of conservation in this country," he said in his "Confession of Faith" speech, delivered at the Progressive National Convention in 1912.
Housed in Houghton and Widener libraries, the Theodore Roosevelt Collection has its origins in a library assembled by the congressionally chartered Roosevelt Memorial (now Theodore Roosevelt) Association. Opened in New York in 1923, it was presented to Harvard 20 years later.
The Oct. 3 talk by Ken Burns is free. Seating is limited. Entrance will be first-come, first-served, on a space-available basis. The exhibition "Through the Camera Lens" is free and open to the public. It will be on display in the Copeland Gallery and Theodore Roosevelt Gallery in Pusey Library from Oct. 6 through December. The portion of the exhibit in the Roosevelt Gallery will remain on display through May 2009.
For additional information, contact Dailey, coordinator of Burns' upcoming talk and curator of the upcoming exhibition, at (617) 384-7938 or wfdailey@fas.harvard.edu.
