Rulers of Science
12" Wooden Ruler made in U.S.A. of American-grown basswood.
This ruler lists people who have made important contributions in any number of scientific disciplines: Medicine, Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, Psychology, to name just a few. We have tried to find individuals whose contributions were important to mankind, and who came from various time periods, regions of the world and educational backgrounds.
As you read through the list of names, you might notice several familiar terms. The words Fahrenheit (as in temperature), volt and ampere (electricity), daguerreotype (photography), Morse (like the telegraph code) and pasteurization all come from the names of scientists on the ruler.
Many of these women and men have earned a Nobel prize. That prize is also named after a scientist, Alfred Nobel (1833-1896).
The dates listed are the years of each scientist's birth and death, if known. We've done our best to summarize in a single word or phrase the most important aspect of their career.
Women play an increasingly important role in the world of science. Marie Curie (1867-1934), Barbara McClintock (1902-1992), and Tu Youyou (1930- ) are all featured on Rulers of Science.
We regularly update our rulers and recently added Tim Berners-Lee (1955- ), inventor of the World Wide Web.
The "head" image is of Albert Einstein (1879-1955), known for his Theory of Relativity. It is somewhat reminiscent of the 1947 photograph taken of him by Orren Jack Turner (1919-2008), now in the Library of Congress.
If you like this ruler, you might also be interested in Great Women Rulers of Science.

We love using LinkedIn to manage our professional network. But there are many other services that help you connect, network and communicate with other professionals, all designed to help you get into the right places and climb that professional ladder.
If you are a new college graduate, seasoned professional or even a top business veteran, the following five web- and/or mobile-based networking applications can help you connect your way to the top.
After all, it's who you know that can help you get places.
Share contact information and photos by simply bumping two phones together. Feel free to bump contacts at networking events and even in the workplace. Who's to say that fleeting connections won't materialize into bigger and better prospects down the line?
Make an intro with a hashtag. This is one of the easiest ways to manage contacts and to facilitate meetings on the fly. Simply download the app, then use the hashtag to communicate messages via Twitter. Specified hashtags can introduce associates to one another—and if they don't have Twitter, it's OK: Hashable can send messages internally. Use the #intro hashtag to put two people in touch, or propose a #meeting at a #restaurant with a new acquaintance.
A revolutionary location-based connectivity app, with fine-grained and easily-configured privacy controls, which is changing the way the world connects in a seamless and fun manner by helping them send Facebook friend requests to people they meet in the real world. A great tool for connecting with people you meet along the way and creating long term relationships.
An app designed to help people meet in the middle. You input two locations (or use your current location and input your colleague's address) and it locates suitable venues in the middle. The search can be narrowed down by type of venue, and you can store contacts and venues in your favorites for future use. From there, you can email directions to yourself and your colleague. The only thing left to do is meet up and have a good time.
For those people who are attached to their business cards, this handy app scans your businesses cards and automatically translates the information to a digital contact, letting you edit the information and add more.

Town and Gown: How Do Notre Dame and South Bend Make It Work?
By Madison Riehle and Allie Hoerster
@datainindiana
Before the University of Notre Dame's economic and social influence gained traction, the city thrived off of the business and jobs created by the Studebaker automobile plant. At its height, the company employed 7,000 people, which was eight percent of South Bend in 1960, according to the Studebaker National Museum.
When the plant closed in 1963, both the population and the economy took a hit, with 20,000 residents leaving the city over 40 years, putting South Bend on Newsweek's 2011 list of "America's Dying Cities."
Despite this, and due to recent pushes and changes in South Bend's government and the sustained effort of new Notre Dame programs, South Bend is transitioning, experts and officials say.
"The city is growing and developing, it has some really positive areas." said Jackie Burns Rucker, Associate Director of Community Relations for the University of Notre Dame. "It is a thriving community that has a large alumni population here, and has a really rich history."
The City of South Bend and the University of Notre Dame are inextricably linked by a long-standing symbiotic relationship. As one of the largest enterprises in the St. Joseph County area, Notre Dame plays an integral role in the city's economy, which makes community outreach initiatives and programs measures all the more important.
Juxtapose: The development of Eddy Street Commons over the last 14 years.
"There's a symbiosis between the community and the University that we recognize more than ever, and I think communities around the country are recognizing this, so we talk a lot about the mutual benefit of our partnerships in a way that we can use our expertise on campus," said Jay Caponigro, director of community engagement in the Office of Public Affairs at the University of Notre Dame.
The Office of Public Affairs is just one of the ways that Notre Dame has involved itself in the community. Its goal is to build, maintain and support the community of South Bend by engaging Notre Dame students with city residents. The projects that the Office of Public Affairs executes revolve around the education and enrichment of South Bend children.
"Our after-school program is very diverse—we will host events here at the center, and we have an after school program that is 2nd through 4th grade," Rucker said about the Center for Arts and Culture. "Within the after-school program, the first hour is literacy based and the second hour is arts and culture enrichment. I utilize art and culture to try to help build relationships."
The Center for Arts and Culture is just one of the many sites that Notre Dame students and faculty invest their time. More than 945,850 hours of community service work is performed by more than 2,250 Notre Dame students and more than 360 University faculty and staff during the 2014-15 academic year, according to a 2016 economic survey of Notre Dame.
StoryMap: Notre Dame's impact on South Bend
Similarly, academic courses engage students with the local community through entrepreneurship opportunities and funds, as well as community-based research, which is run by the Center for Social Concerns and includes an out-of-classroom service element.
"With the community-based research, you see a lot of Catholic social teaching coming up as part of the justification for getting involved in those projects," Caitlin Hodges, Notre Dame Student Government Director of Community Relations, said. "That's the language you'll see replicated at just about every level of Notre Dame when they are doing something like that."
This kind of engagement is understood as growth in human capital — and is the most important factor for economic growth, as it leads to higher educational levels and future funds.
Aside from time investments, Notre Dame is the leading employer in the South Bend area, employing around 5,700 South Bend residents. In fiscal year 2015, the University spent nearly $168.5 million on purchases of goods and services, excluding construction, from businesses in St. Joseph County, according to a report on a 2016 economic survey of Notre Dame.
360-Degree Perspective: Step into South Bend's southeast neighborhood.
"We know that we have to have infrastructure locally that will attract people to come to Notre Dame," Caponigro said. "We want to make sure there are learning opportunities in the community, not just on the University campus."
Notre Dame also focuses its community efforts on maintaining the overall look of the community, as well as ensuring that student housing does not override affordable housing in the neighboring areas.
This includes the Northeast Neighborhood Revitalization Organization, which aims to build residential housing off of Eddy Street Commons through in the Triangle Residential District. Notre Dame is also making strides to maintain housing through the Notre Dame Avenue Housing Project.
"I think that's a big conversation right now with gentrification," Hodges said. "what happens when so many students are moving off-campus, and there's a really good market and that's how you're going to make money, but that used to be a house where a family could have afforded to live. It's not good or bad, but it's balancing and sometimes it feels like it's not very well-balanced."
Through this mutually beneficial relationship, the city has grown, both in population as well as technology as the city's population is up for the first time since 2000. Along with this, projects like Innovation and Ignition Park have begun to expose the area to new creative solutions to city problems, as well as provide support for student and local entrepreneurs.
"At the end of the day, it's important for our leadership at multiple levels," Caponigro said. "If our community doesn't succeed, Notre Dame will not succeed — not at the level that we want to."

Dramatic racing action will come from Thundersport GB this weekend. Picture by Harry Marshall
DONINGTON Park's 40th anniversary season concludes this weekend (October 21-22) with a 31-race schedule from the Thundersport GB Motorcycle Club.
Thundersport is one of the leading clubs in the UK and hundreds of riders are expected to be in action this weekend as the club also brings its own year to a close, with many titles still up for grabs.
All levels of racer will be represented throughout the event, from clubman riders out to end their season on a high, to the aspiring youngsters hoping to follow in famous footsteps in the Thundersport Superteens series, which has developed today's heroes including Cal Crutchlow, Tom Sykes, Chaz Davies and Leon Camier. Charlie Farmer and Matthew Bower are the top two in this year's title battle, and both will be looking to claim the crown to cement their status as a star of the future.
Meanwhile local interest comes from 13-year-old Harry Leigh from Hathern (Leicestershire), who will be hoping to use his home advantage to good effect.
Meanwhile, bikes of a certain vintage will also be in action, especially from the celebrated era of the 1980s and 90s courtesy of the the Golden Era Superbike, Supersport and Steelsport categories.
The most intriguing title scrap is in the Golden Era Supersport series, where just 17 points separate Richard Harrison, Robert Goodall and Luke MacRae with 100 points available from the four races this weekend. Local fans can also cheer on Nottingham's Sam Nicholson, Derby's Dave Grace and Swadlincote's Daniel Wright.
The Golden Era Superbike championship is also up for grabs, with 18 points between Ritchie Thornton and Ryan Strafford, with local man Andrew Barling from Allenton (Derby) likely to be a top-10 contender.
Another tight battle is in the GB Racing British Military Inter Services series, with 10 points separating RAF-men Stephen Kaplan and Anthony Van Looy. Championships will also be decided in the Thundersport 600 Sportsman and Elite series, the Golden Era Steelsport and the Pre National 600 Freshman, where Lee McLoughlin needs to score just three points from the four races to secure the crown.
Action starts at 9am on both days, with on track activity continuing past 5.30pm.
Day tickets for Saturday and Sunday are £17 on the gate with free admission for children aged 13 and under. Adult weekend tickets will be available for £30. For more information, visit www.donington-park.co.uk

Na teoria das categorias, um objeto exponencial é um objeto que representa o conjunto de morfismos entre dois objetos, de modo que generaliza a ideia de espaço funcional.

Definição
Dados objetos  numa categoria  com todos os produtos binários, um objeto exponencial é um objeto  junto a uma seta universal  do functor  ao objeto . Noutras palavras, para cada objeto  e seta , existe única seta  tal que .

Uma categoria é dita cartesiana fechada quando tem todos os produtos finitos (inclusive o objeto terminal) e cada dupla de objetos tem um correspondente objeto exponencial. Neste caso, há adjunção de duas variáveis  em particular,  estende-se a um functor .

Exemplos
 A categoria dos conjuntos é cartesiana fechada:  é o conjunto de funções de  a , e .
 A categoria dos módulos sobre um anel comutativo fixo não precisa ser cartesiana fechada, mas satisfaz uma condição similar na qual o produto  é substituído pelo produto tensorial. (É então uma categoria monoidal fechada.)
 A categoria dos espaços de Hausdorff compactamente gerados é cartesiana fechada. (Um espaço topológico  é dito compactamente gerado quando, para cada subconjunto  cuja interseção com cada subconjunto compacto de  é fechada,  é fechado.)

Categoria localmente cartesiana fechada
Uma categoria  é dita ser localmente cartesiana fechada quando, para cada objeto  de , a categoria  é cartesiana fechada. (Aqui  denota a categoria vírgula , isto é, a categoria cujos objetos são setas de contradomínio , e cujas setas  são setas  de  tais que .)

Seja  categoria localmente cartesiana fechada (em particular, admitindo produtos fibrados). Para cada morfismo  de , existe functor  dado por pullback; isto é,  leva um morfismo

de  ao morfismo

onde no diagrama

o quadrado inferior e o retângulo exterior são diagramas de produto fibrado.

Neste caso, existem duas adjunções

onde o functor  é chamado de soma dependente e o functor  é chamado de produto dependente. O functor  é definido por composição com . No caso particular em que  é objeto terminal  de , caso em que  é isomorfa a , o functor  é dado por levar  ao objeto , onde

é diagrama de produto fibrado, em que  é transposta da identidade  pela adjunção exponencial.

A origem dos nomes soma dependente e produto dependente pode ser explicada no caso particular . A categoria  é equivalente à categoria de famílias de conjuntos indexadas por ; com efeito, uma função  corresponde à família das pré-imagens
,
enquanto que uma família  corresponde à projeção

do coproduto (união disjunta). Por meio dessa equivalência,  torna-se functor de troca de índices,
;
já  e  tornam-se os functores
,
;
estes são somas e produtos de membros da família, cujos índices dependem de .

Q: CLLocationManager never asks user about location services I have an IOS 8-only app in which I want to use location services to obtain the device's latitude and longitude. I think I have everything implemented correctly, but the app never asks the user if it's okay to use location services, the CLAuthorizationStatus never changes from     kCLAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined and the CLLocationManager delegate method
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateHeading:(CLHeading *)newHeading

never gets called.
Here's the CLLocationManager defined in the interface file for the viewcontroller:
__strong CLLocationManager *locationManager;

Here's the code in the viewcontroller:
- (void)viewDidLoad{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
    locationManager.delegate = self;
    CLAuthorizationStatus status = [CLLocationManager authorizationStatus];
    if (status == kCLAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined) {
        [locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
    }
    [locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
    //... other viewDidLoad code
}

The Info.plist file for the app has an entry for NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription.
Debug tracing shows that the line
[locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];

gets executed, but the dialog requesting the user to okay location services does not appear.
Location services in this app worked correctly under iOS 7 - I'm clearly doing something wrong, or not doing something I need to do to make it work in iOS 8. But I have dug around looking for insights, and it looks to me as if I'm doing everything correctly.
Any ideas and/or suggestions? Thanks in advance.

A: You're pretty close. Let me see if I can help. For iOS 8, you need to first call:
[self.locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];

I recommend putting this right after your line of code that says: locationManager.delegate = self; (and then delete everything else in your viewDidLoad method). This is different from iOS 7 due to all the new privacy stuff. Don't call startUpdatingLocation until after this method's delegate callback is called. If you read the docs, you'll see that the method requestWhenInUseAuthorization, after finishing, calls its callback method:
locationManager:didChangeAuthorizationStatus:

Within the callback method, check the status and take action depending on what that value is. This is what my method looks like:
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didChangeAuthorizationStatus:(CLAuthorizationStatus)status
{
    if(status == kCLAuthorizationStatusAuthorized || status == kCLAuthorizationStatusAuthorizedWhenInUse)
    {
        [self.locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
    }
}

Keep in mind that you won't see the alert asking if the app can use your location every time. After you've seen it once, it won't show again. The user can then control whether or not the app can access his / her location in the settings app on the device.

A: first thing first, check for CLLocationManagerDelegate define or not then, do something like below.
NSString *systenversion=[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];

    if ([systenversion integerValue]>=8.0) {

        if ([locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(requestAlwaysAuthorization)]) {
            [locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
        }
    }
    [locationManager startUpdatingLocation];

and the delegates,
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
    NSLog(@"didFailWithError: %@", error);
    UIAlertView *errorAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
                               initWithTitle:@"Error" message:@"Failed to Get Your Location" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [errorAlert show];
}

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager*)manager didChangeAuthorizationStatus:(CLAuthorizationStatus)status
{
    switch (status) {
        case kCLAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined: {
            NSLog(@"User still thinking..");
        } break;
        case kCLAuthorizationStatusDenied: {
            NSLog(@"User hates you");
        } break;
        case kCLAuthorizationStatusAuthorizedWhenInUse:
        case kCLAuthorizationStatusAuthorizedAlways: {
            [locationManager startUpdatingLocation];//Will update location immediately

            [self showAlertWithTitle:@"Success" andMessge:@"Success to get current location"];
        } break;
        default:
            break;
    }
}

hope this works. :)

A: I  found the solution, though I don't know why. I realized I had duplicate info.plists in different folders of the app's folder. The two info.plists look to be identical, both with the NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription entry. But when I removed the one not referred to in the app's navigation window, the app started to work as advertised: got the request alert, allowed location services and the heading started to update. No idea why an identical duplicate info.plist, not included in the app's build, would cause that problem, but it seems to be the case.

A century of memories: the Mirage turns 100
Momo Setamou|December 5, 2015
Have you ever wondered why yearbooks are so important? No, seriously, ponder this question for a moment. Beyond the countless "awe I looked so good" or "whoops, did I really dress like that my first year of college?" what is your motivation for looking through a school yearbook? With today's technology, it is easy to look up an old friend through social media and communicate there, but a print yearbook is so much more than that. Yearbooks are written records of what is most relevant to students. Collective and ageless, yearbooks tell the story of the year at a specific school, reflecting on its richness and diversity. The Trinity Mirage does just that.
This school year marks the 100th anniversary of the Mirage and yearbook co-editors Katherine Freeman and Shelby DeVore couldn't be more excited and determined to celebrate the anniversary in a very specific way.
"We are trying to show the history of the Mirage and show how it has been portrayed the last 100 years. We are including old pictures from past books, facts and interviews from professors," Devore said.
Looking at old copies of the Mirage, it is pretty evident that the quality of the pictures and the design of the Mirage has changed drastically. The evolution of Trinity's unique heritage is portrayed in past yearbooks that truly showcase how Trinity has grown to become a top private university for the study of liberal arts and sciences.
"I have really enjoyed looking through the "˜70s and the "˜80s. There are some really funny and interesting pictures. It's cool to see how things have changed since then," Devore said.
Good storytelling never gets out of style and as time comes and goes, you will always be able to look back at the memories saved in yearbooks.
That being said, what can we look forward to in this year's Mirage? Both Freeman and Devore are exploring new ideas and twists to making this anniversary one to remember, and have done that through different event promotions ranging from a Dia de los Libros event where old pictures and old yearbooks were out, allowing the Trinity community to look through them and possibly see previews of this year's yearbook.
Long after you've graduated, you will always be able to look back at the memories saved in your yearbook.
"I think many people find joy in possessing a physical copy of their memories. From photo albums, to scrapbooks, to yearbooks, holding your memories in front of you and sharing them with someone else is simply really fun. Yearbooks do a great job of grouping these memories and describing them in imagery and story, something you can't always find or preserve online," Freeman said.


What is an "Accredited Investor"? Why you should care.
If you're setting up financing for your next film, theatre, or new media production, and you're planning to talk to potential investors, you need to know the rules. Whenever a company sells investment opportunities, in which the investors will be 'passive', not taking any meaningful role in the management of the business, the transaction involves the offering and sale of the company's securities.
Under the Securities Act of 1933, a company that offers or sells its securities must either: (1) register the securities with the SEC, or; (2) conduct the transaction under an exemption from the registration requirements.
Since registration is a colossally time consuming and expensive process, it is best left to larger financing projects; those in the tens- or hundreds-of millions of dollars, such as the IPO's we typically hear about and other transactions involving publicly-traded securities. Most low- and mid-budget motion pictures, plays, musicals and media productions simply can't afford the time or money involved with a registered, public securities offering. So, the exemptions become important.
Front Money – what it is, how it works.
Front money, or Seed money, as it is often called, is a common first round of capital for a start-up businesses, including many independent films and theatrical projects. It gets its name from the idea that early stage financing plants the seed that enables a small business to grow.
Obtaining funding is one of the most critical aspects of getting your project on the track to production. In fact, many projects fail or are prevented from even starting due to a lack of capital. Although obtaining financing can be difficult for any small business, it is particularly hard for new entertainment ventures. Since these ventures lack a track record, potential lenders and investors are often skeptical about their prospects for success. Nonetheless, the persistent would-be producer, if armed with a sound business plan and the necessary skills, can usually obtain funding for his/her project eventually.


Trash spilled from a Philadelphia garbage truck lies on North Bucknell Street in the city's Fairmount neighborhood.
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney is expected to announce a street sweeping pilot program sometime in early 2019.
Nic Esposito, director of the Zero Waste and Litter Cabinet, told WHYY on Wednesday the city is looking at a "possible pilot program, hopefully in the spring," a statement which leaves plenty of wiggle room for the start date.
Esposito said an official announcement would come from Kenney.
Esposito also said the the city hasn't selected a "target area" for the pilot, which probably means street sweeping still wouldn't be citywide in the spring.
It's certainly progress. As Billy Penn pointed out in September, Philadelphia is the only major city in the country without consistent, scheduled street sweeping.
Why are we making street sweeping complicated?
In late November, Kenney told WHYY the city was looking at "some form" of street cleaning, but city politicians were still apprehensive.


We compare stochastic models of microscale surface roughness assuming uniform and Weibull distributions of crystal facet tilt angles to calculate scattering by roughened hexagonal ice crystals using the geometric optics (GO) approximation. Both distributions are determined by similar roughness parameters , while the Weibull model depends on the additional shape parameter. Calculations were performed for two visible wavelengths (864 nm and 410 nm) for roughness values between 0.2 and 0.7 and Weibull shape parameters between 0. and 1.0 for crystals with aspect ratios of 0.21, 1 and 4.8. For this range of parameters we find that, for a given roughness level, varying the Weibull shape parameter can change the asymmetry parameter by up to about 0.05. The largest effect of the shape parameter variation on the phase function is found in the backscattering region, while the degree of linear polarization is most affected at the side-scattering angles. For high roughness, scattering properties calculated using the uniform and Weibull models are in relatively close agreement for a given roughness parameter, especially when a Weibull shape parameter of 0.75 is used. For smaller roughness values, a shape parameter close to unity provides a better agreement. Notable differences are observed in the phase function over the scattering angle range from 5° to 20°, where the uniform roughness model produces a plateau while the Weibull model does not.

EU to launch Copernicus space program in PHL in Q3
The panelists at the EU Delegation to the Philippines' recent webinar dubbed, "Beyond the Stars, Reach out to the Skies," are Dávid Szesztai, head of the Department for Space Activities of Hungary's Ministry of Foreign Affairs; PhilSA Director-General Joel Joseph S. Marciano Jr.; Miguel Exposito Verdejo, deputy head of unit, Directorate General for International Partnerships of the European Commission; and Giovanni Seritella, programme manager, Cooperation Section of the EU Delegation. The host Stephanie Tumampos is an Erasmus scholar and a BusinessMirror photographer and Science correspondent.
The European Union (EU) is pursuing its Copernicus and Galileo space programs in the Philippines to help the country respond to disasters, environmental challenges and even the Covid-19 pandemic.
In a news release, the EU Delegation to the Philippines announced during its recent webinar dubbed, "Beyond the Stars, Reach out to the Skies," the deployment of the National Copernicus Capacity Support Action Program for the Philippines (CopPhil) in the third quarter of 2021.
Jointly developed by the EU Delegation and the Department of Science and Technology, CopPhil is a €10-million (P580 million) effort, to be implemented by the European Space Agency and the Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA).
Giovanni Serritella, EU Delegation's cooperation section program manager, said the CopPhil—a pioneering initiative in the Asean—is designed to strengthen the country's disaster risk preparedness and climate change adaptation.
The webinar presented how the Copernicus and Galileo space programs and other space technologies help in disaster risk prevention in the Philippines, whose location within the ring of fire subject it to volcanic and seismic instability and strong typhoons.
EU's Earth observation program Copernicus offers free information that it draws from the satellite Earth Observation and non-space-based data on the ground and at sea.
Meanwhile, Galileo, its Global Satellite Navigation System or the "European GPS," provides accurate positioning and timing information.

Satellites aid during emergencies
The Philippines benefited from the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (EMS) during the Taal Volcano eruption and the onslaught of Typhoons Lando (international code name Koppu), Ompong (Mangkhut) and Rolly (Goni) last year.
Science Secretary Fortunato T. de la Peña said in his keynote speech during the webinar that for years now Filipino scientists and engineers have also been using data and user products from Copernicus satellites through the Sentinel Australasia Regional Access.
These data, he noted, are used for coastal resources management, crop monitoring and food security, among other applications, providing substantial benefits to Filipinos.
"Calamities continue to pose threats to lives and livelihoods of many Filipinos. To address these, we pursue relevant research and development programs and develop innovate and develop [science, technology and innovation]-based solutions to build disaster-resilient communities, while enhancing our coordination and response to these challenges," de la Peña said.
At the onset of the pandemic, the Copernicus program also provided information on the impact of Covid-19 to the environment and the link between climatic conditions and the spread of the virus.
The EU Delegation said the EMS continues to use satellite imagery and other geospatial data to offer free mapping service during natural disasters, man-made emergency situations and humanitarian crises throughout the world.
"Our joint action in the field of Earth Observation data is a key deliverable in the context of the EU's Indo-Pacific Strategy," said EU Delegation to the Philippines Ambassador Luc Véron.
"It will directly enhance connectivity between Europe and the Asean and respond to the immediate needs of the Philippines [as it is] also an expression of our cooperation to mitigate the economic and human effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and work toward ensuring an inclusive and sustainable socio-economic recovery," Véron said.
Various applications
"Geopositioning data from the Galileo and Earth observation data from the Copernicus can help in many applications," said Miguel Exposito Verdejo, deputy head of unit of the Directorate General for International Partnerships of the European Commission.
These include "transport to locate a vehicle without a driver in a specific area; position farming when using fertilizer to determine which crops need more nitrogen; getting medicine to remote areas; and even in the Covid-19 pandemic response."
Exposito also said the European Commission will continue to launch five sentinel missions in the next four years, renew sentinels and enhance and increase cooperation to create a more robust ecosystem that provides more reliable data.
Meanwhile, PhilSA Director-General Joel Joseph S. Marciano Jr. pointed out how the sentinel satellites of the Copernicus program, particularly the Sentinel-1, aided in the flood-damage assessment in Cagayan after the onslaught of Typhoons Rolly and Ulysses (international code name Vamco).
These satellites provided data and processing images to detect potentially-flooded areas, he said.
Marciano added that the Sentinel-3 captured images before and after the Taal Volcano eruption last year, which helped determine the extent of damage in nearby areas.
Also among the panelists at the webinar was Dávid Szesztai, head of Department for Space Activities of Hungary's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Hosted by Erasmus scholar Stephanie B. Tumampos, who is specializing in Copernicus technology and is a BusinessMirror photographer and Science correspondent, the webinar was supported by the Manila Observatory, Earth Shaker Philippines, Alliance for Safe, Sustainable and Resilient Environments and Philippine Astronomical Society.

Belen Fernandez: Honour Crimes and Islamophobia
Ilisha has written several seminal articles for Loonwatch on the relationship between honor killings and Islamophobia that have gone a long way in debunking the prevailing narrative frame propagated by the looniverse that casts Islam as inherently supportive of "honour crimes."
Belen Fernandez's article on AlJazeera English is a welcome addition to this discussion which she analyzes in light of the propensity of certain Zionist organizations and individuals/Right-wingers who adopt "honour killings as a pet topic" to further their own agendas.
I will add that the adoption of such "pet topics" is not limited to only certain Zionists and Right-wingers but also seeps into the discourse of self-declared Liberals who are employed in the business of Empire.
Honour crimes and Islamophobia
by Belen Fernandez (AlJazeera English)
On December 11, the University of Rochester in western New York state will host an event "[t]o shed sorely needed daylight on the complex issue of honour crimes in our community".
Organised by an assistant professor from the Rochester Medical School's Psychiatry Department, the event will consist of various discussions with "community leaders, academics, members of law enforcement agencies, legal professionals and health providers" and will feature an Arab Israeli keynote speaker from "an organisation that works to end honour killings in Israel".
The "complex issue" requiring psychiatric attention appears even more complicated when we consider that honour crimes don't seem to constitute an overwhelming problem in the community. Though it could be argued that this is simply because sorely needed daylight has yet to be shed on them, it is worthwhile highlighting the ease with which daylight can be manufactured.
For example, when teenager Faheem Abdul Jaleel apparently stabbed his female cousin in a Rochester suburb in June 2011, the anti-Islamic vanguard headed by the preposterously influential commentator Pamela Geller wasted no time in decrying an "attempted honour killing", based entirely on the ethnic connotations of the perpetrator's name.
Also in 2011, NPR reported that the Muslim community in Buffalo, New York, had been "fighting the stereotype" of honour killings since a spontaneous misdiagnosis in the press regarding the 2009 murder of a Muslim woman by her husband.
As is meanwhile quite clear from domestic violence and homicide statistics among the 99 per cent of the US population that is not Muslim, such crimes generally take place independent of Islam.
Israel's non-criminal killing of Arabs
By adopting honour killings as a pet topic, Zionists and other right-wing forces seek to delegitimise and even criminalise Arab and Muslim society in general.
Consider an August 2012 essay in the neo-conservative FrontPage Magazine asserting an "Arab cultural and Islamic propensity of violence toward women".
The author characterises the fatal stabbing of a 27-year-old Palestinian woman by her husband as a "death sentence which tragically has been shared by a long and ever-expanding list of Palestinian women and girls". He does not care to explain why it is not also tragic that an even longer expanding list of Palestinian women, girls and all other varieties of human beings happen to share the fate of obliteration by Israeli munitions. Nor does he delve into what this might indicate about Israeli cultural propensities or those of Israel's preferred ally and automated teller machine.
Without downplaying the obvious tragedy of honour crimes, we must ask why it is that we are supposed to be horrified by the idea that "in the past two years, 25 [Palestinian] women have been subjected to honour killings" but not by the fact that 1,400 Palestinians were wiped out in three weeks during Operation Cast Lead.
FrontPage claims that, although "honour killings have long been a staple byproduct of Palestinian society", the world's foremost anti-Israel institution – that is, the UN, which nonetheless somehow manages never to enforce resolutions against the Jewish state – has deceitfully implicated non-Palestinians in said byproduct:
"Not surprisingly, for some, this pervasive [Palestinian] violence has been laid at the feet of the usual suspects, namely the Israelis. This scapegoating was summarily expressed in a 2011 report by the United Nations Economic and Social Council which blamed harsh economic and social conditions created by the Israeli 'siege', an occupation which has led to high levels of poverty, unemployment and, thus, 'violence, within families'."
The article's allegation that "in Muslim countries throughout the Mideast, South Asia and Africa… men more often than not treat women little better than livestock" is meanwhile followed by the suggestion that "[c]hanging that dismal equation will take more than just a cultural revolution". This seems to prescribe further state violence as a means of ending individual violence, which is itself often inextricably linked to state violence in the first place.
Islamic imperialism and mind control
Conveniently located to one side of the article on the FrontPage website is an advertisement for another stellar example of scapegoating: A pamphlet entitled, "Islamophobia: Thought Crime of the Totalitarian Future".
Penned by FrontPage founder David Horowitz and co-conspirator Robert Spencer, the pamphlet promises – for a mere three-dollar donation – to explain how Islamophobia is an invention of the Muslim Brotherhood and to expose the UN's role in the Brotherhood's project to "destroy the American civilisation from within" by criminalising criticism of Islam.
Lest doubts remain that Islamophobia is anything but a disease afflicting the authors themselves, the summary of the essay posits a pattern of "Islamic imperialism" in the West. Apparently, the Islamic empire is being erected on the foundations of valid complaints of Western anti-Muslim discrimination rather than, say, ubiquitous military bases and the exploitation of humans and resources that characterises other better-known forms of imperialism.
The summary also denotes as a "notable opponent of Islamic terror" the late Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci, whose anti-terror efforts included vows to explode a mosque slated for construction in Tuscany and hysterics over the reckless American policy of permitting persons by the name of Mustafa and Muhammad to study chemistry and biology at university despite the threat of Muslim-waged germ warfare.
Clearly, Horowitz and Spencer's purported attempt to contribute to "the global struggle against religious intolerance and totalitarianism" is an example of hypocrisy in the extreme. However, endeavours such as Rochester University's symposium on honour killings can prove similarly problematic, providing as they do a venue for the incubation of racist and paranoid delusions and the targeting of a single religious group that has already been disproportionately subjected to civil rights violations by the New York Police Department.
Note: I expect the predictable type of criticisms of the sentence in which Belen says, "By adopting honour killings as a pet topic, Zionists and other right-wing forces…" I will just say that it appears to me she is speaking about "right-wing" forces and not stating "all Zionists" adopt "honour killings" as a pet topic.

LGF: Anti-Muslim Bloggers Invent Another 'Honor Killing'
Robert "police blotter" Spencer Inventing "Islamic" Crimes
Inventing "Islamic" crimes has been one part of the hatemongers consistent methodology of smearing Islam and Muslims.
For instance, in the past month Spencer and Geller falsely accused Islam and Muslims as the perpetrators of invented Jihad attacks at least twice to our count:
*Recently Spencer tried to tie a Belgian shooter to Islam: Belgium, Islam and the Boomerang of Loon Idiocy
*Pamela Geller Turns Hollywood Shooting Tragedy into Islamophobic Hate-Fest
And now we can add a third:
Anti-Muslim Bloggers Invent Another 'Honor Killing'
by Charles Johnson (LGF)
The so-called "counter-jihad" bloggers are covering themselves in glory again, slobbering and ranting and trying to take advantage of a terrible crime to advance their un-American agenda.
Same bigotry, different day.
This time they've seized on a story about a man in Texas who killed six members of his own family on Christmas morning while dressed in a Santa suit, then committed suicide. The man's wife had left him, his home had been foreclosed upon, his business was failing, and he had filed for bankruptcy; with anyone else, these things would be considered strong motives for committing this massacre.
But because the man's name was Aziz Yazdanpanah, and he was apparently unhappy about who his daughter was dating, these bloggers have decided it had to be an "Islamic honor killing." And now they're letting their bigotry run free again.
Hate group leaders Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer are out in front, as always.
Geller: ISLAMIC HONOR KILLING IN TEXAS: "SANTA KILLER" WAS MUSLIM WHO HATED DAUGHTER DATING A NON-MUSLIM!!!!! – Atlas Shrugs
The mainstream media has reported this as the "Santa killer." No mention that it was an Islamic honor killing until this Dallas Morning News story. Our daughters and granddaughters are going to be the ones who will suffer because of for this obfuscation and excusal of barbarism.
This has been going on for years. When Amina and Sarah Said were brutally murdered by their father, also in Texas, on New Year's Day 2008 for the same reason — having non-Muslim boyfriends — I thought, this is it. This is going to break the dam wide open. America would not, could not possibly, ignore this horror caused by and sanctioned by Islamic beliefs, assumptions, and attitudes.
And yet America continues to ignore this horror. And more and more people are victimized every day.
Spencer: Islamic honor killing in Texas: 'Santa' who murdered family on Christmas morning was Muslim who didn't like his daughter dating a non-Muslim – Jihad Watch
Again and again we have seen honor killings in which fathers kill daughters who are dating non-Muslims or have supposedly besmirched the family honor by some sexual indiscretion. Lt. Todd Dearing says that motive isn't important — which is generally only the case when Islam is involved.
To recap: Yazdanpanah killed his family members while they were all celebrating Christmas and then committed suicide. He was wearing a Santa suit. His life was falling apart in just about every possible way.
But to these vile bigots, it had to be an "honor killing" — for no other reason than the man's nominal Muslim faith. It's almost unbelievably disgusting.
And the posts by these bloggers are just the tip of the iceberg; their followers have no restraint whatsoever. Some of the comments posted at "counter-jihad" blogs about this tragedy:
Satan and muzzies are two of a kind…..
We can't offend muslims with Christmas but a muslim can kill his whole family on Christmas day and the media won't even go near the fact they were all muslims.
We only find out on the crazy right-wing internet.
Once again we have the media filtering out information they don't think we need to know.
2 miles from my house, a stinkin' Muslim is committing honor killings. Islam, the Koran, and all true followers need to burn.
Islam. Satan's church.
We live in the same neck of the woods. My Granny lived there for a year, was a nice complex, but over the last few years has had more and more muzzies moving into it. The entire metroplex has had a huge upspike in moozlim population. But still the Media and the masses are lulled to sleep with the peaceful moozlim rhetoric.
These men who are Muslim and believe in this should never have children or be castrated.
Americans may wish to consider how safe it is to have Muslims in their neighborhoods, but that would make us bigots wouldn't it.
Islam is a deathcult
Here's an example of the double bladed sword of " PC ". This piece of camel crap doesn't deserve to be buried in the ground!!!! They should kill a pig and bury it with him!!!!
I AM surprised that this being a raghead, he didn't rape his daughters first.
As sad as this event is it nonetheless points out the truth that a muslime can not be anything but a brutal, murdering, control freaking, inbred son of a muslime sex slave who-e.
No matter their public persona their heart and mind is convuluted and warped to commit atrocities.
Go figure, a sheethead dressed as santa kills everyone, and then himself.
Perhaps Mr. Yazdanpanah was suffering from the terrible disease known as "SUDDEN JIHAD SYNDROME" though I doubt an autopsy will be be of any help. If he was a faithful muslim the demons probably summoned him to butcher his family for rebelling against Allah.
What a waste of life. Islam = hate and murder. Islam offers NOTHING to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Absolutely nothing.
The satanic cult of death REQUIRES BLOOD SACRIFICE for any number of offenses: being non-muslim, apostasy, misbehavior, disobedience, insulting the pedophile prophet of death, drawing the pedophile prophet of death, dating, etc.
These are only pious demon worshipers practicing their demonic cult, fully protected, by an army of feds and prosecutors all of whom report to comrade holder, as a *religion*.
There are thousands of similar comments about this story, all over the right wing blogs. These people aren't even trying to pretend they're not hateful bigots any more — they've embraced their sickness.

After a freak hunting accident, Jane Jameson wakes up as a vampire. Though her sire tries to explain the basics, she still needs some time to warm up to the idea. Going from unemployed librarian to vampire is already a big step, but when someone is trying to frame her for vampire murders, she knows she's in really big trouble. She not only has to keep her head low but her eyes peeled for who might be out to get her.
The words librarian and vampire do not seem to be compatible but Harper proved me wrong. Jane is a very interesting and quirky character. She is a fun character, as is Gabriel. I did feel like the relationship between Gabriel and Jane was a little instant, however, it kinda works well on with this story. A little murder mystery mixed in with the getting used to being used to being a vampire.
Each character was given very unique and interesting personality. Not only the vampires were graced with personalities but even the humans too. The world is well developed, as is the vampire world. I enjoyed the interpersonal relations that were developed in this book. I can see this becoming a very good book series.

GETTING DE-LAYED

Think getting delayed at the airport is a real drag? Think again.
A new survey shows that the metropolitan area's three main airports rank among the top five in the country as places to "make a connection" by scoring a date with a sexy someone while waiting for your plane to take off.
While Philadelphia International Airport comes in first in the nation, Newark International ranks second, JFK third and La Guardia fifth out of the 37 transit hubs ranked.
"There's a different set of rules for meeting people while traveling, and guys and girls know what they can do to make sure their game isn't grounded even when their flight is," said Johnny Jet, editor in chief of the travel Web site johnnyjet.com.
But Jet said different rules apply to playing the field once one crosses through the security checkpoint.
"Since there is no mutual friend to vouch for you, it's always better to just ask for the person's e-mail," he said.
"But don't ask for it in the first 15 minutes of meeting someone, because you can use that time waiting for your flight as an opportunity for them to get to know you."
The survey took into account three main criteria:
* On-time performance of the planes – the longer the delays, the greater chance of hooking up.
* Amenities – like bars – available to travelers
* Prevalence of bad weather, which lengthens down time for travelers.
For example, Philly's airport ranks among the nation's worst for flight delays, with 32 percent of flights not getting out of the gate on time.
But the airport in the "City of Brotherly Love" offers 16 bars, seven lounges and 57 restaurants, giving plenty of opportunity to meet a fellow stranded traveler.
Newark, JFK and La Guardia all rank high with delayed flights, too. They also offer a plethora of places to drink, eat and stare into the eyes of a potential mate.
Not surprisingly, smaller airports, such as Oakland International and Sky Harbor International in Phoenix – which tend to have far better on-time percentages and far fewer amenities for travelers – scored poorly in the ranking.
Commissioned by AXE, maker of a line of deodorants, body sprays and shower gels, the study found that one out of every 10 respondents (out of a total of 860) has gone out with or knows someone who has gone out with someone they met at an airport.

Dallas sculptor Brad Oldham has issued a flashy new sculpture that combines his obsession with birds and a skater motif. Called SkaterBird, it's perched atop his new studio at 1200 Ross Ave., where it can be spied from a number of angles.
According to Oldham's partner Christy Coltrin, SkaterBird celebrates their leap of faith. "We moved our business downtown because we like the energy and can-do bravado of Dallas' core," she says.
Oldham calls the new installation "personal and playful."
"You cannot blaze a trail if you're looking in the rearview mirror," Oldham says. "We choose to believe that if we keep telling stories through sculpture, everything will work out. The SkaterBird kicks out doubt. Look at this sculpture and consider how you can live boldly."
Oldham did not say if you could see the sculpture while looking in your rearview mirror, but you can see it from Woodall Rogers. It weighs 3,500 pounds and sits on top of the 13th story of the building, approximately 150 feet from street level. Fabricated from stainless steel, it stands 22 feet tall, 6 feet wide and 10 feet deep.
Its predecessors include Oldham's various bird sculptures seen in installations such as the Traveling Man in Deep Ellum, and in the Cactus with a Bird at the Hotel Lumen on Hillcrest Avenue near SMU. Oldham also has several bird sculptures on the West Coast, including a 7-footer in San Diego. The artist has long been fascinated by birds, and he likes to share them as sculpture characters in his stories.
The skateboard theme results from what Oldham says are the similarities between sculptors and skaters.
"Both skills require creativity and physical aptitude," he says. "Sculptures like SkaterBird require many daring moves involving years of practice, thousands of pounds of metal, molten temperatures and brute strength. There's something equally badass about the skater's will-not-settle-for-mediocrity attitude.
"Mastering moves takes a lot of repetition, dedication and passion," he says. "The beauty of skateboarding is ephemeral and almost surreal when the athlete catches air. SkaterBird immortalizes such a moment."
A dedication will take place in June. The sculpture is made possible by support from the Headington Companies.

I know it's only early October but we start preparing for Halloween in late September at our house! Over the years I've collected nearly as much Halloween decorations as Christmas decorations. My birthday is just a few days shy of Halloween so I looked forward to my combined birthday/Halloween Party every year. Costumes, bobbling for apples and caramel corn was always present. This is the recipe I make each year for my family. It's addictive!
In a saucepan mix, butter, syrup, brown sugar and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Boil for five minutes and remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and baking soda. In two large roasting pans fold in the popcorn till covered with sauce. Mix in Reece's Pieces. Bake at 200 for 20 minutes. Cool for ten minutes and stir gently. Remove from pans on wax paper and cool completely. Store in Ziploc bags or airtight containers.

Good Trouble in Rancho Santa Fe
Remembering Maria Desiderio McEneany
posted by Miriam Bogan | -185sc
We all lost a great friend and fierce champion for human rights when Maria McEneany lost her fight for life. We miss her greatly and grieve with her family and community.
SAN DIEGO-LOS ANGELES-ROCHESTER -- (August 21, 2020) Maria (Marie) McEneany's gift to humanity was her dedication to making other's lives better. Her genuine love for people, strong faith in God, empathy, giving heart, and a million-dollar smile lit up every room she walked into, making people feel welcome appreciated, and valued.
Maria grew up in Rochester, NY, attending Mercy High School, Buffalo State University and the University of Rochester. Maria dedicated herself to helping those with dyslexia and others learning disabilities serving as President of the BOCES #1 PTA, The Board of Directors of the Monroe County Learning Disabilities and Special Education Chair for the NY State PTA.
In 1984, the family moved to Palos Verdes Estates, CA, where Maria initiated programs addressing drug and alcohol abuse awareness, suicide prevention, and accredited peer counseling. Maria and her husband Paul served as Co-Chairs of the California Chapter of the Neurofibromatosis Foundation.
Maria lived her life vibrantly and worked passionately to make life better for those less fortunate than her. Maria was a natural leader in everything she did. The causes Maria championed are too numerous to list. Highlights include her advocacy for special needs youths and adults, fighting for gender equality, sheltering abused children and eliminating human trafficking. She is also remembered for the warm hospitality and boundless love she shared with family and friends.
Maria bravely fought a 4-year battle against several forms of cancer, in addition to lifelong challenges from neurofibromatosis (NF.) Maria was predeceased by her brother Nicholas and parents Francis and Sara Desiderio. Maria passed away at home in Rancho Santa Fe surrounded by her immediate family: devoted husband of 43 years Paul McEneany, son Bruce Jay Scott, daughter Sara McEneany Orlando, son-in-law Mike Orlando and beloved family boxer Enzo. Maria is survived by her brother Sam and her extended family of Desiderios, McEneanys, Orlandos and Montesantos.
Maria believed each of us can make a difference, particularly in the lives of those less fortunate and that it is our obligation to do so. Maria lived her life as a true humanitarian and steward. If you were blessed enough to meet Maria, your life was changed forever, as was ours.
Maria asked that donations, to remember her, be made to the Children's Tumor Foundation, a cause that was truly dear to her. Thank you.

Q: What is the problem with this Swift Code for finding the Diagonal Difference of a square array? I'm working on some HackerRank Problem Solving challenges. The language I am using right now is Swift. The objective is to calculate the diagonal difference of a square array with n columns and rows. The logic for the exercise is quite simple, and I've worked it out without any hiccups, the problem, however, is a Runtime Error, which occurs on running the program, ~ no response on stdout. Here is a screenshot of the error:

And here is my code (the diagonalDifference() function):
    func diagonalDifference(arr: [[Int]], n: Int) -> Int {
    // Write your code here
    var primarySum = 0
    var secondarySum = 0

    for i in 0..<n {
        primarySum += arr[i][i]
        secondarySum += arr[i][n - (i - 1)]
    }

    var diagDifference = abs(primarySum - secondarySum)

    return diagDifference
}

One other thing I've noticed in my time doing these challenges is that when I look up solutions in Swift in the discussions tab, most people don't include n as a parameter in the function. However, when I don't includen as a parameter, I get a runtime error.
Here is the rest of the code for reference:
import Foundation

/*
 * Complete the 'diagonalDifference' function below.
 *
 * The function is expected to return an INTEGER.
 * The function accepts 2D_INTEGER_ARRAY arr as parameter.
 */

func diagonalDifference(arr: [[Int]], n: Int) -> Int {
    // Write your code here
    var primarySum = 0
    var secondarySum = 0

    for i in 0..<n {
        primarySum += arr[i][i]
        secondarySum += arr[i][n - (i - 1)]
    }

    var diagDifference = abs(primarySum - secondarySum)

    return diagDifference
}

let stdout = ProcessInfo.processInfo.environment["OUTPUT_PATH"]!
FileManager.default.createFile(atPath: stdout, contents: nil, attributes: nil)
let fileHandle = FileHandle(forWritingAtPath: stdout)!

guard let n = Int((readLine()?.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespacesAndNewlines))!)
else { fatalError("Bad input") }

var arr = [[Int]]()

for _ in 1...n {
    guard let arrRowTemp = readLine()?.replacingOccurrences(of: "\\s+$", with: "", options: .regularExpression) else { fatalError("Bad input") }

    let arrRow: [Int] = arrRowTemp.split(separator: " ").map {
        if let arrItem = Int($0) {
            return arrItem
        } else { fatalError("Bad input") }
    }

    guard arrRow.count == n else { fatalError("Bad input") }

    arr.append(arrRow)
}

guard arr.count == n else { fatalError("Bad input") }

let result = diagonalDifference(arr: arr, n: n)

fileHandle.write(String(result).data(using: .utf8)!)
fileHandle.write("\n".data(using: .utf8)!)

Can someone tell me what I should do about this, my function should return diagDifference. I'm somewhat comfortable with Swift, but there are still some parts of the code which I'm not totally clear about, such as:
fileHandle.write(String(result).data(using: .utf8)!)
fileHandle.write("\n".data(using: .utf8)!)

My understanding of this is that the code writes a file using the call of the diagonalDifference() function. However, when I looked this up in the Swift documentation, I found that the write() method was deprecated.
Not considering this question specifically, if you could suggest any improvements to my code or logic in general, please do so.

A: You have an array out of bounds error on this line.  Think about what happens when i is 0:
secondarySum += arr[i][n - (i - 1)]

Change it to:
secondarySum += arr[i][n - i - 1]

Emerging Children's Bible Museum For The Southeast
2021 UN-Gala
2020 was a year of zooming and virtual gatherings.
Trek Thru Truth, Cleveland's emerging children's museum, held its third annual gala, as a 'closed event' on its website, on Sunday, September 27, 2020. This year's gala was TTT's first virtual gala. The theme 'Waymaker' was Introduced through an amazing multi-sensory presentation of the song featuring Talian Ross on keyboard with Christyn Ross and MaeLee Lemley providing vocals. Kathy Coker elegantly signed throughout the piece while Unity Dance Troupe provided an original dance featuring dancers – Lauren Leggett, Grace Barham, Sydney Gobble, & Madison VanHook, under the direction of Austin and Alexis Burleson.
At the 2020 Virtual Gala, an image of the TTT Petting Zoo and Aviary was revealed. The concept development for this portion of the new children's museum was made possible by a VECustomer Share Grant and Bradley County 4-H. TTT is excited to offer animals from each of the 4-H Project Areas where families and students can see the types of opportunities and to learn about the size, types, foods, and care required for each animal prior to selecting a project.
An example sign prototype was also developed with this 3-D rendering by Jonathan Martin with JMC Museum Arts. It will include images of the animal and their 'tracks' as well as data and fun facts.
In addition to each of the animals from 4-H, the aviary and petting zoo will feature many other birds, animals, insects, etc. in the 'Tracks Thru Truth' exhibit.
The aviary and petting zoo will be developed within the footprint of a life-size Noah's Ark. A small portion of the ark construction will house biblical exhibits and the third floor restaurant. A portion of ark framing will provide the framework for the aviary enclosure. The remaining length of the ark will be the one-story animal shelters and viewing areas for visitors to enjoy a list of animals from A to Z.
Thank you again to VECustomers Share and Bradley County 4-H for this opportunity to partner with local and state organizations in this one-of-a-kind children's museum for our region.
The 2020 TTT Virtual Gala also included the first online silent auction.
2020 was a year of change, a year of flexibility, and a year of reflection and looking ahead.
Where are your eyes focused? Many of you have joined the Trek Thru Truth vision by giving to this year's UN-Gala. If you haven't given yet, Visit www.trekthrutruth.com and click GIVE today.
