Course Description
WRT 195 Studio 2 for Transfer Students (3 credits)
Combines salient features of WRT 105 and WRT 205, with an emphasis on analysis, argumentation, and critical, research-based writing. Students complete at least one sustained research project.
Course Overview
WRT 195 is an introduction to academic writing for transfer students that focuses on practices of analysis, argument, research, and delivery. Our engagement in these interdependent practices will also converge with critical, reflective inquiry and rhetorical education--that is, an ongoing consideration of the gravity of our compositions on those who will take them up, read them, and experience them, now and in the future. As we compose a range of objects in traditional and new media, we must reckon with (and speculate about) the many ways our work shape the worldviews of our readers, compel them to action, or otherwise leave a lasting impression.
Anne Wysocki and Dennis Lynch begin Compose, Design, Advocate by noting, "we propose a 'rhetorically designed process' for helping you determine the most effective strategies, arrangements, and media to use in different communication contexts" (10). You will find that this course is laid out as a progression through a series of activities that will, with rising difficulty, require you to experiment, to plan, and to choose from among a variety of arrangements, stylistic options, and presentational modes. Initially, our efforts will focus on analysis (i.e., breaking down; recognizing and accounting for the non-obvious) and summary (i.e., reducing, by careful selection, elaborate texts and media). Your experiences with written analysis and summary will serve as the groundwork for a researched argument project in the middle weeks of the semester. We will cap the term of study with media translation as we re-make researched arguments into aural and/or visual presentations.
The course will open with a series of inquiries into the role(s) of Google (and perhaps other web-technology frontrunners) in shaping our experiences of the world via the web. In the coming weeks, we will extend and fine tune this list of opening provocations:
- To what degree does Google construct for its users a view of the world extensive of the internet?
- What are some of the implicit--aesthetic, moral, economic--values etched into common Google interfaces (e.g., Google Book Search, Google Scholar, Google Blog Search, Google Image Search, Google Product Search)?
- What impact does Google have on the ways we think about information, the limits of its circulation, and its improving(?) accessibility?
- How have basic attitudes toward literacy become more pronounced and more complicated in the rising tide of emerging web technologies?
- In what ways have Google's mapping platforms (e.g., Google Maps, Google Earth, Google Street View) redefined the practical and ethical boundaries of everyday privacy?
- How have Google applications--for better or worse--transformed researched writing as it is commonly practiced in the academy? Which processes have thrived or suffered in the wake of these changes? What responsibilities do we bear either to transgress or to fall in step with these trends?
Course Goals for WRT 195
- Students will compose a variety of texts as a process (inventing, drafting, revising, editing) that takes place over time, that requires thinking and rethinking ideas, and that addresses diverse audiences and rhetorical contexts.
- Students will develop a working knowledge of strategies and genres of critical analysis and argument.
- Students will learn critical techniques of reading through engagement with texts that raise issues of diversity and community and encourage students to make connections across difference.
- Students will include critical research in their composing processes.
Work of the Course
You will devote time, thought, and energy to a variety of informal and formal reading and writing activities and practices. During the course you may annotate readings, keep a record of ideas and responses, register observations, take notes on conversations held in and out of class, experiment with different styles and organizational choices, and engage in a variety of drafting and revision activities. All of these activities are important and will have an impact on your development and success as writers in various academic disciplines.
Writing well also depends upon reading well. Readings you begin to identify and assemble during the first one-third of the semester will provide you with ideas and arguments, facts and data that will ground your work later on. Readings, along with the assignments, will prompt thought as you develop provisional claims and look for ways to qualify your ideas. Readings will enlarge the context for our class discussion. And they illustrate choices other writers have made as they composed, particularly writing by integrating and reiterating the ideas previously explored by others. Writing and reading are interdependent, integral practices, and you will move between the two regularly throughout the course.

These texts are available at both the University Bookstore and Follett's Orange Bookstore.
Supplemental readings may be available to you as PDFs posted at http://drop.io/writing195. I will provide a password for the Drop.io account on the first day of class. You should download the PDFs for reading on the screen or printing. Plan to spend as much as $20 on printing and photocopying over the course of the semester.
FeedbackYou will receive many different kinds of feedback to your writing during this course. Some responses will come from fellow students and some will come from me. All forms of feedback, including responses you receive from scheduling individual or group appointments in the Writing Center, are important; they tell you in various ways how your readers are responding to your writing. This will also help you learn how to assess your own work.
The breakdown is as follows:
Project 1: Multiliteracy Memoir, 10%
Project 2: Googlization Summaries, 20%
Project 3: Researched Argument, 30%
Project 4: Translation, 20%
Invention Portfolio to accompany each project, 20%
The Invention Portfolio includes participation in the activities of the class. All work listed here will be assigned a letter grade corresponding to a 4.0 scale. Each of the numbered projects will be described fully in a separate prompt that I will circulate at an appropriate time in the semester.
Late WorkAll work must be submitted on the date due to be considered for full credit.
Course Policies
Attendance and Participation
Writing studios are courses in language learning, and language is learned in communities; therefore, it is essential that you attend class and participate. Participation, involvement, and engagement with the activities of the class will be factored into your overall grade as a portion of the portfolio assessment. Absences and lack of preparation for class will affect your classmates' work as well as your own. The work you do in class, the work you do to prepare for each class, is as important as any polished assignment you turn in for a grade. In addition, our syllabus is only a projection and may be subject to occasional changes and revisions as it seems appropriate, necessary, or just interesting. That is another reason why your attendance is vital. If you must miss a class, you are responsible for work assigned. Please realize, however, that class time cannot be reconstructed or made up, and that your performance, your work, and your final course grade will be affected by absences. If you miss the equivalent of three weeks of classes or more without any official documented excuse you will not be able to pass the course. I don't anticipate any of you will be in that position, however, so let's all agree to do the work, come to class, learn a lot, and make the course a meaningful experience.
Communication with Peers; Communication with the InstructorWhile you can expect a fair amount of leadership and direction to come from me, you should also make arrangements early in the semester to communicate with your peers. In other words, you are strongly encouraged to identify one or two (perhaps more) peers in the class with whom you can discuss readings and assignments, work through questions brought up in the class, and approach when you find something unclear. In short, my hope is that we all will prefer climate in which conversation flows both between the instructor and students and also between and among students when questions come up. Finally, you should always be proactive about asking questions when you have them, either by raising questions during class or contacting me or one of your peers privately.
Special Needs and SituationsStudents who need special consideration because of any sort of disability or situation should make an appointment to meet with me at your earliest convenience. You should also refer to the Office of Disability Services for additional information.
The Writing CenterAt the Writing Center (101 HBC; 443-5289) experienced, professional writing consultants will help you succeed on individual assignments and ultimately become a better writer. They work one-on-one to help you understand assignments, discuss your responses, revise your drafts, develop proofreading strategies, and more. Appointments are available in 25- or 50-minute sessions, and can be reserved up to seven days in advance via their online scheduling program: WC Online . Drop-in appointments are welcome Monday through Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Beginning this fall, the Writing Center also offers consulting appointments by email and by IM. On-site and online appointments are free to all students and highly recommended for every assignment you work on in this class.
Academic IntegrityAll writing submitted for this course is understood to be your original work. In cases where academic dishonesty is detected (the fraudulent submission of another's work, in whole or part, as your own), you may be subject to a failing grade for the project or the course, and in the worst case, to academic probation or expulsion. For a more detailed description of the guidelines for adhering to academic integrity in the College of Arts and Sciences, go to http://academicintegrity.syr.edu.
Computers, Multimedia, and TechnologyMost of the work you do for this class will be handed in typewritten, using a word processing application. Use an easily readable font, such as Times New Roman, size 12 point. Include one inch margins and follow the page layout following MLA. Finally, we will be interacting with a variety of sites on the internet during the course. Please let me know if you have not had any experience using a browser such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari. When using a computer, save your work frequently, always make backup copies, and plan your projects with extra time allowed for unanticipated challenges.

In an effort to highlight the work of its new economic liberty task force, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently launched new pages on its website to promote the policy initiative, the first enacted by Acting Chairman Maureen K. Ohlhausen.
Ohlhausen's initiating the task force's formation came following President Donald Trump's executive memorandum directing federal agencies to explore ways to cut costs, regulations and processes.
The task force is intended to address regulatory issues that might hinder job growth, including the proliferation of occupational licensing, according to an FTC press release, which states that "[n]early 30 percent of American jobs require a license today, up from less than 5 percent in the 1950s."
The release states that although such licensing is necessary in some professions to protect the public against legitimate health and safety concerns, there are many instances where "the expansion of occupational licensing threatens economic liberty" because "[u]nnecessary or overbroad restrictions erect significant barriers and impose costs that harm American workers, employers, consumers and our economy as a whole, with no measurable benefits to consumers or society."
"This is an important moment for economic liberty," Ohlhausen said in the release. "Governors, state legislators, and many other stakeholders want to move forward to remove or narrow occupational licensing regulations and open doors to opportunity, enhancing competition and innovation. The FTC's economic liberty task force has moved quickly to create a website that will gather many existing resources, from the FTC and elsewhere, into a central repository for stakeholders. It will be a dynamic resource and will grow to incorporate additional work by the task force and others in this important area."
Specifically, the website promotes the work the FTC has done advocating for the reduction or elimination of unnecessary occupational licensing requirements imposed by state laws or regulatory statutes, among other work.
The website, www.ftc.gov/policy/advocacy/economic-liberty, also showcases examples of state-based initiatives, background information on state-elected officials and other officials who share the agency's goal of occupational licensing reform. The website features FTC testimony before Congress on occupational licensure, as well as blogs on the topic, and selected speeches and articles by FTC officials and staff.
The FTC regularly shares its expertise on licensure issues affecting health care workers, other professionals such as attorneys and interior designers and workers in occupations such as online auction trading and real estate closing services, upon request by a state legislator or in response to an open public comment period, the release states.

It's been 8 years since I ventured out into the social media world for the very first time. I know I wasn't the original "explorer", but it was still a big move for me. Permit me to share an updated, slightly wordsmithed version of my very first post from back in the day – beginning with:
People told Columbus the world was flat. He didn't insist it was round. He got in a boat.
3Com Advertisement
How cool was that! No debate; no argument; no headlines; no hype. They said, "Impossible!" he said, "Get me to a boat!" Then Columbus got in that boat (funded by the original venture capitalist); and proved his point.
What a stellar example of commitment to success! "Hey Chris, the world is flat you know. If you go out there, you'll sail right off the table into oblivion." "That's OK", he might have said, "I think we'll be all right."
What about you? What are "they" saying you cannot do? Do you agree with them? Are you looking back at the land for your security? Or are you looking out across the vast ocean and on to your future? Are you debating – or are you doing? Where are you turning for the fuel to maintain your positive, can-do attitude?
It's hard to beat a person who never gives up.
Babe Ruth
If you're reading this, then you're in my boat. Welcome to The Peace & Power of a Positive Perspective©. The next time you're having one of "those days", filled with too much negativity from "them", come back aboard for a little positive reinforcement.
I'm using a social media platform as my vessel – it is the 21st century after all. Some people today might say, "Gary; Linked In, Face Book, Twitter are fun and all; but a vehicle for ongoing business-to-business, business? Impossible!" Well, what do I know?
I've spent the last four decades of my career perfecting professional selling skills. You know – permission-based prospecting; discovering the customer's goals; presenting solutions; closing the deal? Remember? Are any of those skills relevant today?
Or have we in business actually shifted to Likes, Groups, Tweets, and other, electronically-impersonal means of getting ink and contract to meet and money to change hands? Were professional selling skills important only when the world was flat? Well, what do I know?
Best-selling business author Jim Collins wrote this:
The Tyranny of the OR vs the Genius of the AND.
To me, it's not social media – or – the old way. I think social media is important.
But, I also believe that building business relationships still plays a key role in the customers' success; and in turn, our success. I would like to believe that knowing what you're doing is still critical to a sales person's achievement. Being a product expert + a technology expert + a competitive expert + a business person are the key characteristics our customers value. Again, what do I know?
Similar to Christopher Columbus, no one can predict ahead of time what changes the online world will bring to the future of my profession. I'm certainly not going to argue about it. I'm just getting in my social media boat and setting sail – I believe I won't fall off the face of the earth.
I hope you join me for the voyage and visit www.TheQuoteGuys.com often. Bring a friend! After all:
No sense in being pessimistic. It wouldn't work anyway.
Unknown Sage
Here's to the New World. Thanks again Chris!

Bumble and Bumble BRILLIANTINE,it is unique. The tiniest amount gives short or long hair a languid and sexy look with great separation, texture and shine. It's not about hold; it's about movement and suppleness. It contains derivatives of Coconut Oil which act as natural humectants that penetrate hair, reducing dryness leaving it soft
Use alone or layer with other Bumble and Bumble products to build body, give lift control and define curl. Try model/actress, James King's trick: simply spray it on hair, tie up into a bun, and then loosen when dry. The result; naturally thick, soft, wavy hair.

The solution seems obvious: to get all the information about patients out of paper files and into electronic databases that … can connect to one another so that any doctor can access all the information that he needs to help any given patient at any time in any place.
—"Special Report: IT in the Health-Care Industry," The Economist, April 30, 2005
There's no question that U.S. medicine is approaching a crisis. Depending on who's counting, tens of millions of Americans carry no health insurance. Between 44,000 and 98,000 people are estimated to die every year from preventable medical errors such as drug interactions; the fact that the statistics are so vague testifies to the problem. The United States leads the world in healthcare spending per capita by a large margin ($7,500 versus about $5,000 for the runners-up: Norway, Canada, and Switzerland), but U.S. life expectancy ranks twenty-seventh, near that of Cuba, which is reported to spend about 1/25th as much per capita. Information technology (IT) has made industries such as package delivery, retail, and mutual funds more efficient; can healthcare benefit from similar gains?
Any assessment of the impact of information and communications technologies on the U.S. healthcare system must consider their effects on the multiple business models already in place. Unlike, say, Napster and the music industry or even the multithreaded issues of news, publishing companies, and the Internet, U.S. healthcare is so incredibly ...

From: Learning from the Lives of the Lineage Holders 2
Full transcript
I just want to turn to the other section of Niguma's where Khyungpo Naljor has this encounter with her. Just to review very quickly: there's Khyungpo Naljor's seeking with very deep devotion, very deep longing to meet her. Eventually finds her—she appears. Offers his gold, she just throws it away, scatters it in the jungle. Says, "I don't need it," and confers empowerments, and then this wonderful song that samsara is propelled by the forces of attraction and aversion, and when you know their nature then everything is like gold. And that we live in illusion, experience a suffering that's like an illusion. When we practice it's like…illusion's not really quite the right word, it's like magic. And so the suffering arises like magic, we do a practice which is like magic, we experience an enlightenment or awakening which is like magic, all through the power of faith.
And when I first heard those lines, many, many years ago now, they just struck me so very, very deeply. One of the ways that we've been talking about this is by going into the experience of things and experiencing them completely. When you experience something completely you know what it is. You know what it is, you know its nature. What is the nature of thought?
Student: It comes and it goes.
Ken: Yeah, and it's empty. What is the nature of emotion? Okay, what is the nature of all experience? We just did the Heart Sutra on this, you guys should know this—it's empty. When you know your experience completely you know that's its nature. Now, that knowing is not an intellectual knowing—one can read about this and yeah it's all there but the actual knowing when it arises isn't an intellectual knowing. It's a knowing which comes from being one with the experience. And that's how you know its nature, because you're one with it and there's no separation. And at that point there's no confusion so it doesn't matter what arises, it's just an experience. Like a dream, like a mirage, vivid—very clear—but no confusion. And this is what Niguma is pointing to here. Okay? Joe.
Joe: She also threatens him or perhaps more correctly warns him against…that she will eat him.
Student: Right.
Ken: Yes.
Joe: Because he will be annihilated which is perhaps one of the reasons why we don't go here…why it's hard to go here.
Ken: Yes, that's the act of manifestation of awakening. You're not going to survive this process ideally. Not and have the same habituated way of relating to things—that has to die, quite right.

I ate thai food under those conditions friday night.
I ate sri lankan food under those conditions today.
both were excellent.
I ate in little ethiopia fairly recently. I'd like to put more effort into eating at restaurants from countries whose cuisine I've never tried.
I'd like to go back to the spot.
I'm apparently going to do my taxes for real this year. possibly last year too.
so... in my possession right now is a piece of tree. I've heard opinions that it's juniper, cypress, pine, coniferous and shrubbish. there's an interesting story of why I have this piece of tree.
wanna hear it? here it goes...
as I was sitting outside the accountant's office today, my brother called. amongst other things, he asked me if I remembered the 3 trees that were in our front yard when we were growing up. we clarified and clarified which trees. after we'd established which trees he was talking about, he told me why he was asking.
he asked me to describe these trees. leafy? needley? what? I described them as being tall, thin, very thick christmas trees. with sort of almost fractalish stalks. definitely evergreen. sort of coniferous, but having no cones. like a pine tree, but without the needles. definitely no leaves.
then he told me that he'd had a dream in which a detailed and painstaking description of these trees played a central role. he wanted to write about the dream, but couldn't quite conceive of these trees or how to describe them.
after a while on this tree topic, I looked around and noticed that there were a couple of those exact kind of trees about 30 feet away. so I wandered over there and came up with pretty much the same description. then I broke off a piece of tree and promised to mail it to him.
once I was back at my office, I forgot to mail it. so I'll mail it tomorrow. which means that in the mean time, in my possession is a piece of tree.

"I'm the type of guy, who likes to roam around.
I'm never in one place, I roam from town to town"
If there are lyrics that resonate with my work life, I think this might be in. Now, I'm not some sort of migrant vagrant. I don't join and quit projects all willy-nilly. I pour my heart and soul into a project from inception to completion but over the course of the last year or so, I've started to become a little more deliberate when it comes to shutting down projects.
Over the last year I've launched two new ventures, personally. One of those ventures continues on today despite the fact that it's always been something fun to do rather than a cash cow. It's basically a chance to step out of my comfort zone, learn a great deal and honestly enjoy myself. The second project, which is no longer in operation, provided a much greater chance of financial success and was much more in line with my day-to-day interests and skills. So why did I quit?
Well, there are some private, complicated reasons but when it comes down to it, it just wasn't fun anymore and despite what you've probably been told, or at least shown, through the course of your entire vocational life, work CAN actually be fun and more than that, SHOULD actually be fun. If it's not fun, why do it?
Let me take you back a little while, about a dozen years in fact. As a university student, I held down a number of jobs. In fact, I'm incredibly proud of the fact that I was a full time student, held three jobs and was the head coach of a successful high school athletics program. The three jobs I held count not have been more different.
A few days a week, from 9am-noon, and occasionally on the weekend, I was an employee of Staples. I worked in just about every department there was except cash and learned a lot in my time with the company, which ended up being almost 5 years. It began my interest in computers as a field of work and sparked a love of really good pens.
Two weeks out of every month, from 5-9pm, I worked for the federal government via Statistics Canada. That job was about as soul sucking as it gets. I called people and made them answer questions via the only legally required survey in the country, the labour force survey. This survey is incredibly important as it helps calculate the unemployment rate for the country. In addition to being super important, nothing has ever made me quite as insane as the fact that people would argue with you for 10-15 minutes that they didn't have time to complete a survey that took me about 30 seconds to finish.
Finally, from 9pm-2am, Wednesday through Saturday, I was the head doorman at the Split Crow Pub. People have always asked me if being a bouncer was scary or hard or if I got hit a lot or if I had to hit people a lot and the answer is; no. The really fantastic thing about the Split Crow Pub was that we were NOT bouncers. We were doormen. If someone got out of hand we would ask them to leave and if they didn't we would move then along. In 4 years at the Crow I got hit in the face ONCE and never had to throw a punch. It was a pretty great job.
I came to a point where all three jobs became too much and I had to start thinking about what job(s) I wanted to keep. When I started to consider my next steps, I decided to think about the jobs in two distinct ways. What were the jobs worth financially and how much did I enjoy them?
Let's start with the federal government. If you can get a government job, I'd strongly recommend it. The job paid exceptionally well. The job sucked, but it paid exceptionally well. Then there was the Split Crow. That job paid TERRIBLY. It was minimum wage and a VERY small tip-out. While there was some room to advance into a server or bartender position, the job was pretty much a dead end financially. But the job was SO much fun. It was not overly difficult but involved some manual labour (which I really enjoy) and I got to listen to great music, meet some amazing customers and work with some extraordinary people.
In the seesaw of money vs. fun, these two jobs were essentially equal. The highs of financial security met the lows of job satisfaction with the federal government while fun times met terrible salary with the bar. And then, there was Staples.
Staples was not a particularly fun job. Aside from changing my name tag so that it read General Manager and wearing boxes on my head from time to time, it kind of sucked. Luckily, it paid a little bit more than minimum wage but I wasn't rolling in the big pen money.
So I quit.
I kept one job that paid me HANDSOMELY to do a terrible job and kept another job that paid me TERRIBLY to do a great job. I left the job that offered my minimal financial satisfaction in exchange for a mediocre job experience.
Now let me be clear, Staples paid SIGNIFICANTLY more than the Split Crow but the job was simply no fun. And if it's not fun, don't do it.
I'm not suggesting that tomorrow you walk into your boss' office and tell them to shove it. We've all got bills to pay. What I'm suggesting is that you start to think about what you truly value. I value money and yet I don't let it rule me. I know that in the long term, my health and well-being is worth more than a couple extra bucks an hour. I'd rather be more careful with my spending and skip a coffee here and a movie there than spend my day doing something I don't enjoy.
So start thinking about what YOU are spending your day doing and if it's not fun, don't do it.

David Gonville
Born in Providence, Rhode Island, USA in 1970
Being born and raised by a family of artists in Rhode Island, my paths have always led me to art and the ocean. I began my college career as a Marine Affairs major at the University of Rhode Island, focusing on the study of coastal and marine management, fisheries law and management, maritime transportation and ports, and domestic and international ocean law and policy. My studies also examined a variety of basic ocean and coastal uses and the social, political, legal, economic, and ecological frameworks in which they take place and in the context of broader societal concerns and values. It was in my marine cartography class that I first used the internet. From that moment I decided to transfer to UMass Dartmouth to pursue my interest in technology and combine it with my appreciation for design.
Under the tutelage of some renowned design professionals, I was able to study the process of visual communication in a context of message, audience, environment, and technology. I learned how to approach research and analysis of content as part of the design process, and learned to develop graphic translations (symbols, books, posters, interactive media) based on that research and analysis. In addition, I explored classical and contemporary issues of typography and became practiced in diverse media, including letterform design, information design, book and periodical design, letterpress printing, painting, printmaking, and web development.
After graduating from UMass Dartmouth (Cum Laude), I worked for several years as a designer/developer for an internet startup company and later as a designer at a large design firm in Providence (RDW). When I got tired of working for The Man, I started my own freelance company for a few years before merging with fellow artist (and wife) Maeve Donohue to create our current design/development studio - Nami Studios. Finally, during the past year, I have found time to dedicate to my true artistic passion - painting. In my latest series, The Hinterland, I combine various mediums and imagery from the internet, my camera, and memory to capture the patterns of surf in this often hostile, yet ultimately zen New England environment.

Thing 52
This was an interesting assignment. Clipmarks seems to have a pretty good webapp up and running. I wish you didn't have to install the button on Internet Explorer to do it, though. Once installed, I did find it easy to clip and post to the blog. I also embedded my clipcast in my blog--you can see it at the bottom of my blog page. I could clip sentences, paragraphs, images, and video, and post them directly to my blog and/or save them to my clipcast. I learned one slight bug with Clipmarks--apparently video clips can be posted to the blog but will not save correctly to a clipcast.
Library applications--I can see this as very useful for online reference work. You can send clips as answers. Great thing about the clips, too, is that Clipmarks automatically puts the source info. (website) with the clip.

We have just got back from demonstrating at Tatton Park and the CLA at Belvoir Castle. Simone had a great time at Tatton despite being unwell and arranging for Sonia to stand in, and met a lot of prospective schools for work over the living willow season.
The Basketmakers Association also had a display at Tatton but they didn't seem to be interested in our work despite the fact that we are actually members of the association and that many of the 'sculpture at school' ideas originated with us. I suppose that we should be flattered when our ideas are are copied but I always find it strange when they are on display at a nearby exhibit. But I guess that's life. Our friends at BHMAT, the woodland apprentice scheme from Cumbria, were very supportive throughout the event.
Steve enjoyed meeting up with old green woodworking friends at the CLA and had a lovely time catching up on the news.
Our next event is at Art In Action at Traquair House in the Scottish Borders at the weekend.

It's winter and we are in the midst of the holiday season – what isn't there to write about? Take a few minutes from your holiday partying to write down some thoughts. With the days so short and the weather only getting colder, this can be a very contemplative time. What are you thinking about?
Here are some ideas to get your pen moving:
- What do the holidays mean to you?
- Do you have a New Year's resolution? Why or why not? If so, what is it?
- What are you favorite – or least favorite – winter memories?
- Such short days! How do you make the most of the daylight?
- Have you been to a really great – or seriously awkward – holiday party? What happened?
- Did you travel to see your relatives this year? How was it different from last year?
Not much of a holiday person? What else is going on?
- It's almost time for the Republican primaries – who do you think will win?
- How do you feel about the 2012 elections overall?
- What about the Occupy movement?
- What about world politics?
It's also the time of year for lists: best books, films, films based on books, blunders, highlights, etc. Do you agree with the choices? What's on your Top 10 for 2011?
Make a Top 10 (or 20 or 50) list of the most personally important moments to you that won't make it on a national or international Top 10 list. Did you get a new job? Get married? Lose someone close to you? Did you take a new yoga class that has changed your perspective? Tried a new recipe? Read a great book? Did you go on a fabulous trip?
Whatever got to you, made you stop and think, gave you inspiration, challenged you like never before, and made this a year to remember, write it down.
If you blog and need help with ideas for posts, check out this list of bloggers who came up with pretty interesting ideas for the past year.

Basic Introduction to Corrugator Rolls
1. What is Corrugator Rolls
Corrugator rolls, having a hardness of abaove HRC55, are made of forty eight CrMoA Metal and they are processed by thermolizing and subzero cooling. It's the most significant element in producing corrugated board and constitute an important section of the one machine. Corrugator rolls can be divided into upper corrugated roll and reduced corrugated roll, of the two the roll surface area are in female shape. The 2 rollers match the meshing equipment and also the meshing mechanism is different from that of common equipment generate. The lower corrugated roll will be the drive roll by using a wheel gear on the best of the roll. The electromotor drives the decrease corrugated roll through reduction gear. The higher corrugated roll would be the pushed roller, driving by means of the meshing on the roller teeth of equally higher and decrease rollers. Certain stress should be used to be able to mould the corrugating foundation paper in between the rollers. As a result the upper corrugated roll can go along the ligature in the roll shaft along with rotate about its own axis. This type of go applies radial pressure on both ends of the higher corrugated roll through the air cylinder, in this way the intermeshed corrugated rolls create biting force.
2. The Working Theory of Corrugator Rolls
Any type of corrugator rolls provide the exact same essential perform of use and put on system. The corrugating base paper retains continuing relative displacement and grinding with the corrugated roller underneath linear stress. The very best in the corrugated roller are critically ruined from the impurities and mineral solids in corrugating foundation paper and so are steadily weared to irregular sort from arc kind. Creation of paperboard slowly are likely towards the least standard consequently of steady high speed working and lower top of roller tooth.
Pockmarks and sunkens will therefore look in a few roller area with reduced hardness, thus intensifying the abrasion approach. Corrugator rolls with reduced hardness will collapse, tilt, increase run-out error, and turn out to be outside of form underneath constant high-speed single-tooth meshing revolving, possessing a very adverse impact on the working life and financial functionality of corrugator rolls.
3. Classification of Corrugator Rolls
A. Classification Determined by Tooth Type
Widespread corrugator roll enamel sorts include A, AC, C, BC, B, BE, E1, E2, F, G.
B. Classification According to Tooth Condition
Frequent corrugator roll enamel styles are U type and V form.
C. Classification Based on Therapy of Roll Floor Hardness
Common varieties of treatment method of roll area hardness include Surface area Nitriding Corrugated Rolls, Electroplating Corrugated Rolls, Laser Surface area Corrugated Rolls, and Tungsten Carbide Corrugated Rolls.

Written and compiled by Keith Hunt THE ARK, ITS SIZE AND PURPOSE Woodrow in his book asks the questions if you can for certain know how large the ark was, did it take 120 years to build, and if the flood was REGIONAL were there some people in other parts of the world who were not effected by that flood? Genesis 6:15 gives the dimensions of the ark 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high. Some say that was proportionally ideal - being six times as long as wide. The problem arises with knowing how many inches to the cubit it was back in Noah's day, or Moses day, as it was Moses who is held by most scholars as writing the first five books of the Bible. If we go with 18 inches to the cubit, then the dimensions would be as Woodrow states, 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. Woodrow suggests that the door way would not have been over 13 feet high, because dividing the three levels would give 15 feet to each level. with this calculation Woodrow says there had to be large supporting beams to hold the weight of each level, hence the doors ways would be, or could be, about 13 feet in hight. This would of course mean large Elephants and Giraffes would not be able to go through the door ways as Woodrow suggests. But the problem with this reasoning is that the top floor may have been open at first and a ramp may have been built to allow these huge animals to ascend to the top of the ark and then a ramp could have been built to have them descend to a floor that did not have to have a doorway at all. After all the animals were in that top shaft door closed tight, so no other humans could have a way into the ark. Now if as Woodrow suggests the cubit in past ages differed and was smaller than 18 inches in length during Noah's time, then of course a smaller ark would have been built, which if it was only for a regional flood would have sufficed. Woodrow quotes from Harper's Bible Dictionary these words: "Metrology (the science of measurement of mass, length, and time) presents a confused picture in Palestine ... and the peripheral countries ... Not even well-grounded Babylonian metrology adhered to the same standard throughout its history. In the matter of weights and measures, the Hebrew people were influenced by Babylonian, Egyptian, Canaanite-Phoenician, and Greco-Roman systems ... With the coming of each new conqueror, and with every fresh trend in trade, weights and measures continued to vary." Woodrow gives proof from the Bible itself that a cubit may have varied in length at times and in different ages. Esther 5:14; 7:9 shows the gallows which Haman was to be hanged on was 50 cubits, and so if we go with 18 inches for a cubit the gallows was 75 feet high. Either it was built with a high foundation as to make sure everyone from a far distance could see Haman get hanged, or the cubit was much less than 18 inches during the time of Esther. Woodrow does SPECULATE with things in this section of his study, but he does admit it is only "speculation." He wonders that if the ark was 450 long how it could have been built as the tallest tree in the world is a California Coast Redwood at 366.2 feet. Once more I will say that looking at what is TODAY does not mean if was that way in Noah's time. Maybe there were trees taller than the tallest trees of today in existence during Noah's life time, or there were ways of building ships back then that are lost in building today. Science is still amazed at how the GREAT PYRAMID of Egypt was ever built. As Woodrow himself admits, this is all conjecture and speculation for we simply cannot be certain as to the length of a cubit in Noah or Moses' time. And with all that said, we come back to the conclusion that none of what we have talked about concerning the size of the ark can prove a world-wide flood or a regional flood. LENGTH OF TIME IN BUILDING THE ARK? Most people have either been taught or have presumed from a too casual reading of Genesis 6, that Noah was building the ark for 120 years. Of course this also makes it easy to believe that the ark was so large that it took 120 to build it. Genesis 6:3 says, "My spirit shall not always strive with man ... yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years." This is talking about God allowing mankind to continue living, doing "their own thing" for another 120 years, and then JUDGMENT would come upon them, if they did not repent of their wickedness. The "ark" of Noah is not mentioned here. It is not till later verses AFTER God once more looked upon mankind and saw their violence that God turned to Noah (who remained faithful to the Lord) and told him He would destroy the evil doers, but save him and his wife and three sons and their wives. Then Noah was told to build the ark. Ralph Woodrow has correctly seen that 120 years before the flood Noah was 480 years old, for at the time of the flood Genesis tells us Noah was 600 year old - see chapter 7:11. The sons of Noah had not yet been born. They were born when Noah was 500 years old (Gen.5:32). It was AFTER his sons were born and married that Noah was told to build the ark. Look what Genesis 6:14-18 says, "Make you an ark ... I do bring a flood of waters ... and you shall come into the ark, you, and your sons, and your wife, and your sons' wives with you." It should now be clear from putting these verses together that Noah was NOT working on building the ark for 120 years. We really have no teaching from the Bible any more than this. We just do not know have long it took Noah to build the ark. NO RAIN BEFORE THE FLOOD? The Bible passage used which supposedly supports this idea is Genesis 2:4,5. "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, and every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground..." I have heard this "no rain before the flood" teaching, MANY times over the last 40 years. It is so used that it is taught by many as something the Bible is quite certain and dogmatic about. Many are certain that no rain fell before Noah's flood, which they say would have made Noah the greatest laughing joke on the earth, and especially as he was building this wooden ship for 120 years. The people believing and teaching this "no rain" before Noah doctrine, say that the earth was covered with a type of water vapor, I guess something like the heavy humidity that is in Florida, but even more so, because Florida does get rain. Maybe they think it was a really wet due every night. But whatever they think the climate of the earth was like before Noah's flood, they believe Genesis 2:4,5 is teaching that there was no rain until it started to rain at Noah's flood time. But a careful reading of this verse says no such thing. God created the plants before they were in the earth, that is, before they were seeded. They were created full grown and mature. And they were created full grown because there was RILL THEN no rain upon the earth. God did not create the seeds first and have them grow up through the action of rain and sun. He created them full grown plants before it had rained and before man was created. This was done on the THIRD day (Gen.1:9-13). Yet on the 6th day mankind was created. All this passage says is that up to the creating of mature plants and trees, it had not rained. The Bible does not say when it first rained, but to try and use this passage in Genesis 2 as teaching it did not rain until the time of Noah's flood, is to me, reading into a few verses things that are not meant to be read into them. And another teaching that has often been a part of all the story telling of Noah's ark is that Noah preached for 120 years to others to come on board and save themselves. Noah we are told in the New Testament was a preacher of righteousness, but there is not one word in either the Old or New Testament that he preached to others to save themselves by joining him on the ark. God told Noah that it was he and his wife and his sons and their wives that had been shown grace to be saved from death, but God told Noah that He would destroy all the other wicked people, that and "end" to them was coming (Gen.6:9-13). We are told that God saw that all others on the "erets" - earth - land - had corrupted their ways (verse 12). We are given no suggestion that with Noah's preaching (by word or life) ANY would REPENT. There is nothing in the Bible to suggest that Noah tried to persuade others to come on board the ark and save themselves. WERE ALL PEOPLE EVERYWHERE ON THE PLANET DESTROYED? The writers of the Bible sometimes wrote in a way that would make THEIR hub of the world seem like the WHOLE world. Certainly we can know from the Bible that God worked with people that were in a particular AREA of the MAIN HUB of a certain progressive population of the planet. The part of the planet we know and call as "The Middle East." The Gospel of Luke chapter two, verse one, is a fine example. What was happening in the Roman Empire in Palestine, concerning "enrollment" (Margin of the KJV Bible), is written as if ALL THE WORLD should be enrolled. So when Peter wrote in 1 Peter 3:20, "few, that is, eight souls were saved" in the ark," it could be assumed he meant only 8 lives were saved from off the entire planet, but it may have meant that in the context of the "erets" or land, that Noah lived in, there were only 8 human lives saved from destruction from the flood of Noah's time. Peter was possibly NOT trying to teach that Noah's flood destroyed every single human life from the entire planet earth, with only 8 person escaping that destruction with their lives. If the flood was regional and not world-wide, though it covered a very vast area, it then would not have killed people thousands of miles away from the land where Noah lived. The Indians in Canada have a recorded history that goes back 10,000 years. Now either the famous chronology of Usher is completely way off the mark of true chronology, or Noah's flood was no where near in the century B.C. where it is usually placed (according to Usher's chronology, which would still mean Usher was incorrect). Or, it would mean the Indians of North America were not in the least effected by Noah's flood. Oh, they may have "stories" about it in their history, but nearly all people have stories of super magnitude from other parts of the world, in their history telling. Huge physical tragedies on the earth do have a way of getting around and becoming stories related in a nations history files, passed on from generation to generation. The Bible is not a history book on all parts of the planet earth, and the nations of peoples in various parts of this globe, but is mainly focussed on the area of the Middle East. Yet people have been taught by many well meaning and sincere Christian writers and leaders that the New Testament and Jesus Himself, were very dogmatic about "the truth" that ALL persons except 8, on the entire planet were destroyed. The writers of the book "The Genesis Flood" present the proof for this teaching in saying that Jesus taught this was true in the passage found in Luke 17:26-30. But as Woodrow in his book on this subject has correctly stated,"When we turn to this passage, however, it is far from conclusive that "all" means all people throughout the entire world." The verse reads: "In the days of Noe...they did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them ALL. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them ALL"(Luke 17:26-30). Ah, did you notice it? Did you see that Jesus used the word "all" in both Noah's flood and in the day that Lot went out from Sodom. In Lot's situation, the "all" we know did not mean ALL on the ENTIRE planet, for the fire from the Lord that came only destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. "The Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire ... he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities" (Genesis 19:24,25). Obviously this "all" did not include the town Lot fled to, or the other cities and people in the Middle East, or in China, or the Indian people in North America. This verse and these words by Jesus have a CONTEXT, and the "all" is used WITHIN a CONTEXT of the thought Jesus was relating to His listeners. A newspaper headline may read: "Flight 103 has Crashed - ALL are Dead!" The "all" here does not mean all people on the planet, and we do not take it to so mean. We all know the "all" is used within a certain CONTEXT. We must all (pun on all is intended) be careful how we read "all" as used in the Bible or other literature. The "all" for Lot's time had a context of not being all people on the planet, and Jesus used Noah's "all" in the same breath, without any qualifying words to clearly tell us that Noah's time meant all people on the whole planet, while Lot's destruction did not. All then destroyed by the Noah's flood could very well be the all on the "erets" - land - area where Noah and the hub of the world of people God was dealing with, was located, and not anything to do with the Indians of North America. I must agree with Ralph Woodrow's examination of verses that use "world" in connection with the flood; i.e. Hebrews 11:7 and 2 Peter 2:5. The Greek word is "kosmos" and Woodrow gives the meaning from Strong's Concordance (#2889); "arrangement, i.e., decoration, and by implication the world (in a wide or narrow sense)." I believe as does Woodrow that in the case of Noah's flood, it is best to understand this Greek word in a narrow sense - not the entire world. There is a "figure of speech" often used in the known as "synecdoche," - a whole is used for a part, and a part for a whole (Bullinger's book "Figures of Speech in the Bible" explains it all in detail) and so even words like "all" can be used in a limited sense. I have already given you "all the world was taxed" (Luke 2:1). Another would be Acts 2:5, "men out of every nation under heaven" assembled on the day of the feast of Pentecost. This surely did not include the Indians from North America, or the native people of Japan. NOAH A MISSIONARY TO AMERICA? We learn from 2 Peter 2:5 that Noah was a "preacher of righteousness" - if that means he was preaching the ways and judgment of God to come, then did noah travel to the American continent to preach the way of the Lord and His destructive judgment to come, if we suppose the flood was going to be world-wide? I really do not think many believe Noah travelled outside his land. And we do know, if we stay with Usher's chronology for the creation of mankind, that people were living in China, India, and North America before the time of Noah's flood, according to Usher's chronology. I have already said that the Indians in Canada have a history that goes back 10,000 years, a history way before Noah' flood, if you stick with how Usher tried to figure Bible chronology. And this is one reason to me, as to why God did it this way. He could have decided to destroy them a hundred different ways. Noah was to be a witness to them, a preacher of righteousness and a witness that destruction was coming to his civilization for its great sins. This was the hub of the world at Noah's time, and that hub of people had sinned mightily, but some other tribes in other parts of the world had probably not degenerated in sins as Noah's society. There is in Scripture no reference to Noah ever having travelled to distant lands to preach destruction to them for their great sins. A regional flood would be best fitted for this context of Noah preaching of righteousness and sin. As Woodrow says, some who believe in the local flood, say it was in one sense universal, in that all mankind did perish, because all mankind was still in that part of the earth. But today the facts are in, and unless you are closing your eyes and refusing to admit the facts that have been clearly found, mankind had wandered to distant lands, including North America. As stated before, the Canadian Indians have a recorded history that goes back 10,000 years. This was all brought out in the large series of documentaries called "A People's History" - about the history of Canada. Painstaking research was done for MANY YEARS before this series was produced and aired on Canadian TV. Was Noah's flood BEFORE 10,000 B.C.? I doubt there is a fundamental scholar that would be so daring as to claim it was. A local flood would solve all these chronology questions. Ralph Woodrow points out some of the passages written by the Jewish Pharisee historian of the first century - Josephus. They indicate he did not believe every person on the planet perished in Noah's flood. It is worth recording those passages here. Josephus writes concerning the words of Nicolaus of Demascus: "There is a great mountain in Armenia ... upon which it is reported that many who fled at the time of the Deluge were saved; and that one who was carried in an ark came on shore upon the top of it; and that the remains of the timber were a great while preserved. This might be the man about whom Moses the legislator of the Jews wrote" (Antiquities of the Jews - 1957 edition, 1, 3:6). Josephus goes on to say: "Now the sons of Noah were three ... these first of all descended from the mountains into the plains, and fixed their habitation there; and persuaded others who were greatly afraid of the lower grounds on account of the flood, and so were very loth to come down from the higher places, to venture to follow their examples. Now the plain in which they first dwelt was called Shinar." (Ibid., 1, 4:1). Who might have been those others who were persuaded to come down from the high places? Woodrow takes us back to Genesis 4 and 5. EVIDENCE MOST HAVE NEVER NOTICED! In the fourth and fifth chapters of Genesis two family lines are mentioned descending from Adam, the line of which Noah was part, the other line being Adam, Enoch, etc. and Lamech and his three sons - Jabal, Jubal, and Tubal-cain. Most universal flood teachers would say all these were destroyed in the flood, that is both lines, except Noah of course and his three sons, were killed in the flood. As Woodrow points out, that gives us a problem, for Moses who wrote Genesis speaks of descendants of Jabal, Jubal, and Tubal-cain, as STILL LIVING when he wrote Genesis. Note it: Genesis 4:20-22. "Jabal ... was the father of such as DWELL in tents, and of such as HAVE cattle. And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as HANDLE the harp and organ. And... Tubal-cain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron (Genesis 4:20-22). Did you notice it? The writer says "DWELL" not "dwelled" and they "HAVE" not "had" cattle. They "HANDLE" the harp not "handled" If they had all been killed in the flood, this tense of the words used would be incorrect! Woodrow then gives two quotes, one form the INTERPRETERS BIBLE which say they were "nomads, musicians, and metal workers existing at the time of writing." and HASTING'S ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RELIGION AND ETHICS, which states, "...this wording implies 'an unbroken history of civilization' and that the writer of this section did not, obviously, regard the flood as 'a universal Deluge.'" Were some of these descendants of this line of people, the Indians of Canada and North America that claim they have been in North America for at least 10,000 years? Or people closer to home as when Moses wrote all this, but knowing that some people in a different area of the known world at the time, had indeed not been effected by the flood of Noah's day. From the tense of the words he used it would indeed imply this was the case. Genesis 10 tells us how the descendants of Shem, Ham, and Japheth divided and migrated. or as the Hebrew word used for "divided" can mean - "dispersed" (Strong's concordance #6504). Woodrow's thoughts are that the descendants of the three sons of Noah were dispersed among other nations that were not effected by the flood. It certainly is food for thought when we take everything else we have seen into consideration. There are those who believe that there are great problems with trying to claim all peoples of the earth descended from Noah's three sons. One of those problems Ralph Woodrow brings out in his study is the huge population of some parts of the earth and its cities, in a very relatively short span of time after Noah's flood. LARGE POPULATIONS? According to Genesis 10:8-12 we have only three generations to a mighty area of the world by Nimrod. A few generations later we have Abraham travelling among large populations and well developed nations of people. We can see from Genesis 15:19-21 that Canaan was populated by many tribes of people. Woodrow points out that 26 cities in Canaan are mentioned in Genesis at this time in history. He then talks about what Genesis 12:15 tells us about Egypt and Genesis 14:1-16 about certain kinds who had captured Lot. Woodrow calculated for us the time from Shem becoming a father in Genesis 11 to the time Terah, the father of Abraham, and it adds up to 222 years. No one is completely sure how old Terah was when Abraham was born, but even allowing 75 years or so, say a total of 300 years, from Noah's flood to the birth of Abraham, that time span can hardly allow for the great nations and cities that we find in existence at Abraham's time. Let's say Shem, Ham, and Japheth each had 76 children between them, that gives us 76 people on earth, plus Shem, Ham, and Japheth and their wives (6 of them) - a total of 82 people on earth for one generation. But pairs for reproduction would be 38 pairs, rounding it off. Say those 38 pairs all had 30 children (being very generous here for sure), that gives us 1,140 people plus the 76, and if Shem, Ham, and Japheth and their wives were still alive, we can add them in also. But let's just take the 1,140 - that gives is 570 pairs for reproduction. If they all had 30 children we would have 17,100 people plus the 1,140, plus the 76, plus the 6, if still all alive back to just after Noah's flood. We could go on like this for a few more generations until Abraham was born. Not that many people on earth by the time of Abraham, and I have been very generous I would say with how many children each couple had, and I did not include some children dying as children, or from death in other ways. The way Genesis reads at the time of Abraham the population of even just that part of the world reads like a MUCH LARGER population than could EVER have come from just 8 people left alive on Noah's ark. But the universal flood advocates are at this point very willing to agree that the chronology in the Bible and that used by Usher as about 400 B.C. for the creation of mankind, is FLAWED, or just is not what we should understand as it seems to read. WHEN WAS NOAH'S FLOOD? As Woodrow says the writers of "The Genesis Flood" book suggest there may be "gaps of an undetermined length in the patriarchal genealogy of Genesis." They would claim the flood of Noah's time was many centuries before what appears in the chronology of Genesis. Some hold to an Hebrew way of saying things, that saying "son of" or "so in so begat" could mean generations are missed out and only certain names are mentioned. A kind of "short hand" for what otherwise would be more pages of boring names and lists of chronology. To use such "gap" chronology here and not think of using it from Abraham to David or David to Christ, is to say the least inconsistent and the worst, trying to make your "theology ideas" fit the Bible as you choose and when you choose. As Woodrow has said in his book on this subject, "The regional flood viewpoint, on the other hand, can leave the years from the flood to Abraham exactly as they are - without gaps or guesses - allowing that only part of the world's population was destroyed. This provides a satisfactory explanation for the existence of developed civilizations only a few generations after the flood at the time of Abraham." Yet, some Christian scholars, in the last 100 years or more, with all these difficulties of a universal Noah's flood teaching, have come to say and write that Noah's flood was REGIONAL and not universal or world-wide. The land that came to be know as Mesopotamia, mainly now within the country called Iraq, is the largest lowland of the Middle East, about 45,000 square miles. Some scientists do admit that there is evidence there to believe at one time a huge inundation did take place on those plains of Iraq. Woodrow quotes from HARPER'S BIBLE DICTIONARY and the old well recognized work of M'CLINTOCK AND STRONG to add support that it is correct to understand this part of Iraq was covered with water at some time in the past, and probably that time was event of Noah's flood. There are a number of ways God could have flooded that Mesopotamia region, as Woodrow points out. With earth upheaval acting as a dam, or with the command of His voice and will as water "upright as an heap" (Exodus 15:8). As the Scriptures say, nothing is impossible with the Lord. OVERVIEW With this chapter and the previous ones, it is to me beyond reasonable doubt to conclude that there was only ONE VIOLENT UNIVERSAL flood of the entire earth, and that is the one that WAS OVER AND DONE WITH AS WE ARE BROUGHT ON THE SCENE IN GENESIS 1:2. This one universal flood destroyed the age of the world of the Dinosaurs and the huge vegetation that lived in that age. An interesting point to note here is that scientists say that some of the great Dinosaurs had such an appetite that they would have consumed today's elephant for a mid-morning snack. It was so violent that even all the sea creatures were destroyed. All upon the earth at that flood was destroyed, hence God had to create all that we read about in Genesis chapter one. It was the time when seams of coal, oil, natural gas, were created by the violence and pressure. It was the time when diamond seams were formed. It was the time when through much violence the strata we often see in rocks, such as evident in the great Canadian Rockies, was formed. So quick and violent was this flood (that was upon the earth as Genesis 1:2 tells us) that some mighty animals of that age have been found preserved in some parts of the world, still with the grass and vegetation in their mouth, that they were eating when the violent flood covered them. What many have tried to attribute to the flood of Noah's time, was in actual fact done by the violent flood that came upon the earth through the battle Satan the Devil and his angels had with the Eternal God and His righteous angels. The scares of this battle can still be seen on places like the earth's moon and the planet Mars. I have covered this battle and that ancient age in other studies on this Website. ................

Walls: Butler® Shadowall™
Building Area: 9,600 sq. ft. (892 sq. m.)
Description: This was an interesting project from start to finish. Originally the site existed of an old residence. The site, to the naked eye, appears to gently slope towards Dawson Road, but once we surveyed the property, we came to discover the slope was not as gradual as it appeared. From back to front the property dropped 5 metres over a distance of 67 metres. This property was also under Site Plan Control, which challenged us to keep the run-off waters on the property. A drywell system was implemented in the site plan to maintain/dissipate the rainwater underground, the grade was lifted in the front of the property, and the building you see above was designed and constructed. The owners have been operating out of this location for five years now.
Roof: MR-24

Building Area: 28,400 sq. ft. (2638.5sq m)
Usage: The existing arena on this property was being shared between the Thunder Bay Bear Cats and the Thunder Bay AAA Kings Association along with rentals of ice time. It was decided a second rink was required to accommodate the very busy ice times of the existing arena. A new practice rink was designed, with the Kings private dressing rooms and 4 change rooms for visiting teams and rentals. The two arenas now accommodate the high demand for ice times and have been connected with passages for the Kings to access the game arena from their dressing rooms on the original ice. A passage was also constructed so the Zamboni can travel between the two ice surfaces.

Building Area: 20,000 sq. ft. (1858.06 sq. m.)
Usage: This facility was designed for the Fort William First Nations to use as a daycare facility. Originally constructed as a daycare facility, this building is now used as a community centre for the local education, employment training programs, mountain bingo, and a full service banquet and conference centre.
Roof: MR-24
Walls: Shadowall™ and Revered Shadowall™ accent panel with WMP-50 R20.
Usage: This contract was to construct a new water treatment plant for Goldcorp mines in Red Lake. Red Lake Gold Mine is located in the Canadian Shield of Northwestern Ontario, 180 km North of Dryden, ON. This project took us through the warm fall and into the chilling months of winter. The average temperature in Red Lake during the winter is -30 C with wind-chill factors colder. Being from the North, our workers are used to battling the temperatures to get the job done. Security was another important factor for this project. Security at the Gold Mine is high and all workers on site were to check in in the morning and sign out at the end of the day. All workers required a full security check prior to being allowed on site.

Congratulations to Spirit of Youth
Congratulations to the Spirit of Youth U14 Junior Football Club, sponsored by North West Projects and managed by Steve Bradshaw (Mechanical Engineering Director), who came top of League 1 in the Poulton & District Primary League, Blackpool. The league having a new format this season split the season into two phases with teams going up or down after the first phase. Having played in the Championship for the first half of the season, which was very competitive and closely fought, Spirit of Youth were relegated to League 1 in the last game. However, the team bounced back in the second phase of the season to win League 1 with a 100% record of 7 wins out of 7.
Steve's team was also recently invited to play against the Lancashire FA North West Deaf and Partially Sighted Futsal Team (ages 14-17) at the Fulwood Leisure Centre by Steve Daley, who is currently the England visually impaired captain with over 100 caps.

The risk-on rally of global asset prices seemed to be 'unstoppable' as major equity markets are likely to finish the week higher, following solid gains obtained over the last two weeks.
Upbeat China 4Q GDP data painted a brighter outlook for the year ahead, which will boost investors' confidence in the world's second largest economy.
China's economy expanded at 6.8% in the last quarter of 2017, beating consensus forecast of 6.7% and lift the full year growth rate to 6.9% - well above policymaker's full year target of 'around 6.5%'. This also marks the first economic upswing observed since the country's growth rate peaked in 2010. Quantity matters, but quality is even more important. By pushing forward the supply side reform and deleveraging campaign, the country is gradually shifting its economic from a 'growth at any cost' into a more service-oriented, environmental friendly and sustainable model.
The economic tailwind, alongside with strong currency, is likely to direct fund flow into the greater China market, especially Hong Kong. Yesterday, the southbound flow via the HK-Shanghai stock connection registered net flow of over 6 billion yuan – the highest daily inflow seen in over a year. Hang Seng index managed to surpass its 2007 peak and closed at all-time high of 32,121 points despite of some intraday volatility. China H-Shares continued to outperform the broader market partially due to the southbound inflow, narrowing the price gap between A-H companies. Sector wise, financials (banks and insurance) continued to outperform.
Technically, the Hang Seng Index is riding a strong upward trend but momentum indicator RSI has stretched into the overbought zone above 70% for 13 trading sessions – which flags the risk of technical pullback. Downside, however, is cushioned by improved fundamental, ample liquidity and complacency sentiment, which will turn every technical pull back into a buying opportunity.
Singapore's Straits Times index lost 20 points or 0.58% yesterday as bank shares retraced sharply on profit taking activities. The benchmark index is facing some resistance at 3,547 area, which is the high watermark inked in April 2015. The upcoming earnings on CapitaLand Mall Trust, CapitaLand Commercial Trust, Keppel Corp and A-REITs next week will help to paint a clearer picture of the stock market outlook.
Separately, US Commercial Crude inventory dropped 6.86 million barrels last week, more than market forecast of 3.45 million drop. This marks the 10th straight week of stockpile decrease, which is likely to provide support to crude prices amid worries of rising production from the North America.

Fukushima, a Global Conspiracy of Denial
By William Boardman, Reader Supported News
03 January 14
Does anyone in authority anywhere tell the truth about Fukushima?
f there is any government or non-government authority in the world that is addressing the disaster at Fukushima openly, directly, honestly, and effectively, it's not apparent to the outside observer what entity that might be.
There is instead an apparent global conspiracy of authorities of all sorts to deny to the public reliably accurate, comprehensible, independently verifiable (where possible), and comprehensive information about not only the condition of the Fukushima power plant itself and its surrounding communities, but about the unceasing, uncontrolled release of radioactive debris into the air and water, creating a constantly increasing risk of growing harm to the global community.
