Nostalgic air mail pilot pictures6/28/2023 ![]() The seeds of Bellefonte’s glory were planted when the government began the Air Mail Service in 1918. ![]() Other times we’d go to the train station to see the 8:16 come in from Milesburg. We’d stay and watch until the mechanics went off duty. “It was just fun, riding in the rumble seat to the field with our hair flying. “I’d hitchhike to the field with a friend pretty near every day after school,” recalls Jim Saxion, 78, who retired as a furniture refinisher at nearby Penn State University. “My father would come back from the field,” Barger recounts, “and the next thing I knew lobsters were crawling across the kitchen floor.” Her father was a dentist who treated the pilots at discount rates in return, the fliers brought him buckets of live lobsters from New York. We’d cut across farm fields.” A B-29 gunner in World War II, Sampsell found the terrific illumination of the mail airplane’s headlight “brighter than anything I saw until I was over Japan in a bomber.”įor 87-year-old Edna Barger, Bellefonte’s glory years meant lobsters. “My second or third grade teacher let any of us go who wanted to,” he says, “and we’d get there somehow even though the strip was three miles away. Max Sampsell, a retired store manager, remembers teachers dismissing classes whenever an airplane landed. I never had the audacity to speak to them.” In my six-year-old mind those pilots were gods. There were usually 25 or 30 people there. I’d nag my dad to take me even though it was way past my bedtime, and when I got older I’d ride my bike. The big kick was going to the field to watch the night mail come in. “You can’t conceive how exciting it was,” he says. Jim Kerschner, 67, a former radio station manager and now Bellefonte’s mayor, is one of several men who grew up in that era and never got over their infatuation with flying. It may be regarded as typical of the light of science, showing the way to mankind in his flight against time and distance.” This chain of glittering points seems to have a mystical significance. As the Los Angeles Times breathlessly reported in 1923, “The line of lights by which the night transit of the airplanes between Chicago and Cheyenne is guided appeals to the imagination as well as to practical instincts…. Coast-to-coast flying was made possible only with the advent of night flying. Pilot Eugene Johnson lands in Hazelhurst, New York, carrying mail from the West Coast, in the first transcontinental air mail flight on August 22, 1923. To be young in Bellefonte in those adolescent years of American aviation was to be part of something wonderful. Was it really 60 years ago that mailplanes landed nightly in the little central Pennsylvania town of Bellefonte, bearing a cargo of life and pride and excitement? Was it that long ago and more that daredevil Slim Lewis buzzed the courthouse and made the fish-shaped weather vane spin, and handsome Max Miller roared around town in his green Nash roadster? The town was even tinier then (population 3,996 in 1920, 6,200 now), but during the 1920s it performed a vital service as the first airmail refueling stop in the nation. Finally the airplane would land, and as the ground crew closed in to refuel for the journey’s next leg, the pilot would climb ever so casually from the cockpit. The images still linger in their memories: the sound of an approaching motor, the mad scramble to the grassy field on the edge of town, the moment when the great light on the mailplane suddenly switched on, its beam flooding the waiting crowd.

Students using novamind as a study tool6/28/2023 ![]() How can out-of-order thoughts haphazardly linked to the central concept possibly be an organized way to learn something? Mind mapping works so well because they emulate how your brain naturally makes memories-through connections:Ĭan you make sense of the organizational structure of the diagram? From the central idea, all of the other ideas branch out as lines, symbols, text, and images. Mind mapping takes otherwise monotonous information and transforms it into a vivid and unforgettable visual representation of related concepts. Mind mapping refers to a visual form of note-taking and note-making that takes a central concept from which all other ideas branch out. However, the versatility of mind mapping makes it one of the most effective learning and organizational tool at a student’s disposal. In its purest form, mind maps are a means to get information in your brain out in front of you. ![]() Mind mapping is a visual method to represent information and can be used to effectively brainstorm and structure ideas. So what are mind maps and how you can use the mind mapping learning technique to transform your knowledge retention? Also Read: 8 Highly Effective Study Habits of Top Scorers What is Mind Mapping? With mind maps, students can attempt to learn new concepts differently, process them better, and retain this new information for a longer period of time.

Convex mirror6/27/2023 ![]() The agency has contracted with Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI) to conduct research on heavy truck mirror systems. However, none of the responses included data demonstrating safety benefits associated with requiring convex mirrors on the front right and left fenders of commercial trucks. Several of the comments provided insight on convex mirrors generally. These comments may be viewed at: search/searchFormSimple.cfm (Docket No. The agency received 24 comments in response to our published RFC from automobile and automobile equipment manufacturers, trade associations, public interest groups, and individuals. Regarding the use of convex mirrors on heavy trucks in the fleet, the agency previously noted that they are being used extensively by the heavy trucking industry, and that informal surveys by NHTSA staff suggested that approximately two-thirds of large trucks (excluding cab over designs) were equipped with convex mirrors on only the right front fender and approximately half were equipped with convex mirrors on both front fenders.Īs noted above, NHTSA published a RFC on Januregarding convex mirrors on commercial trucks ( 68 FR 2993). ![]() Instead, multipurpose passenger vehicles and trucks with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of more than 4,536 kg (10,000 lbs.) are required to have outside mirrors of unit magnification with stable supports on both sides of the vehicle these mirrors must be located to provide the driver a view to the rear along both sides of the vehicle and be adjustable in both the horizontal and vertical directions. 111, Rearview mirrors, does not require, nor restrict, the use of convex mirrors on heavy trucks such as the ones identified in the Sanford petition.

Prior to receiving the Sanford petition, the agency had decided to conduct research on heavy truck mirror systems, including fender-mounted mirrors. ![]() The Sanford petition asked the agency to amend our Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) for rearview mirrors to require that all commercial trucks traveling on interstate highways have convex mirrors affixed to their front right and left fenders in order to provide drivers of these vehicles an increased field-of-view during lane change maneuvers, which the petitioner stated is necessary to eliminate a blind spot caused by the elevated position of commercial truck drivers relative to passenger cars.

Meiske venture forthe6/27/2023 ![]() I had to give presentations - a lot of them. ‘’I actually became way more outgoing because I had to interact with a lot of people. Studying Life Sciences helped Cristina become the person she’d always wanted to be. ''Throughout my studies, I became a version of myself that I like much better'' That’s what I find the most fascinating, that we find out how things work right in front of us.'' And you get to see what you do has an impact. On learning to work with different equipment. ‘’The whole study program is based on lab work. This helped me approach her, and ultimately, make a new friend – and through it, land an internship that I feel really passionate about!’’Ĭristina finds the practical work the most interesting part of her study program. But since we changed classes many times during the past two years, I felt way more comfortable about approaching people. To be fair, the Dutch students do tend to stick around each other more. HAN really provides you with tons of opportunities to build a network of your own. ![]() And then the social skills I've gained over the years of my study really helped me to approach her in the first place. So I think to some extent, that helped me. She told the people at Byondis that I’d make a great fit for their internship. She’d already done her internship at Byondis. ‘’I have a Dutch friend who is also in Life Sciences. Landing an internship through her networkĬristina mentions that she landed the internship partly thanks to her network at HAN. So I’m super happy that I got accepted there as well!’’ ![]() They have tons of experience and love doing what they’re doing. And the people at Byondis are very passionate. Since I really like my research, I also like what the company has to offer. They also have the patent, the legal rights on one of the medicines, which is used to treat cancer. It has about 400 employees, and it's very good at creating this unique drug antibody conjugate. How cool’s that?’’Ĭristina is doing her internship at Byondis, a pharmaceutical company in Nijmegen. It’s a new therapy that's been invented in recent years, and I'm going to do research about it. You can make this drug specifically target the tumor and nothing else. In my upcoming internship, I will focus on ADCs (antibody-drug conjugates) – a targeted therapy for treating cancer. I wrote an essay in which I made a visual representation of the life stages of the malaria parasite. ‘’My first internship was focused on malaria research. Being exposed to different kinds of research in the first and second year helps you discover what you truly want to do.’’ Slowly but surely, you can really tailor the Life Sciences program to exactly fit your interests and passions. There are 3 specializations you can choose from: to work with humans, plants, or bacteria. In the third year, you choose your specialization. So, you have many biology and chemistry classes, and as you progress, you also learn about plant biology. In the program, you learn about how human cells work. ‘’The Life Sciences program really makes you feel like you're doing research. Luckily, Life Sciences at HAN turned out to be the perfect match for her. Tailoring the program to fit her interests I wanted to work with people and really sense the difference my research makes. Mathematics and physics didn’t excite me. But the theoretical approach didn’t fit me. So it’s really all about personal preferences – are you more into theory or more into practice? I initially chose a research university because it was just 3 years versus 4 years of study at a university of applied sciences. ‘’It’s not that one program is better than the other. She made the switch to HAN the next year. Before Cristina studied Life Sciences at HAN, she'd studied Molecular Life Sciences at Radboud University. |
