The Evolution of Escience Librarianship in the New England Region and Beyond
With considerable input from science and health sciences librarians throughout New England, the Lamar Soutter Library, University of Massachusetts Medical School (which serves as the Regional health sciences library under contract from the National Library of Medicine) has responded alone and with its network member libraries to develop a strategic approach to defining escience librarianship. The multifaceted model creates opportunities for offering professional development, job tools and resources, dissemination of information, and best practices for teaching scientific research data management. This presentation will discuss the multi-faceted model and how it effects academic librarians and the science and health sciences institutions they serve. Working in partnership, network member libraries are poised to participate in identifying new roles for librarians and creating a reinvention and rejuvenation of science and health sciences librarianship in New England and beyond.
Elaine Russo Martin, MSLS, DA, is director of the Lamar Soutter Library of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. The library serves under contract by the National Library of Medicine as the Regional Medical Library for the six New England States and Dr. Martin also serves as the director of that program. Before joining UMass, Dr. Martin was director of the health sciences library at the University of Illinois at Chicago and served in various other professional positions in medical school libraries in Virginia, Washington, D.C. and Washington state. Dr. Martin received her MSLS from the Catholic University of America, Washington, DC. and her doctorate in library science administration from Simmons College, Boston, MA.
Dr. Martin's research interests include: biomedical informatics; consumer health informatics; assessing the information needs of public health workforce; evidence-based public health; and organizational development, in particular leadership and teamwork as they apply to medical libraries.

The Digital Research Enterprise: Identifying New Roles for Libraries
Changes in the conduct of research, from the growth of team science to the emergence of big data, have created opportunities for libraries to become involved in the creation and management of research data. Through partnerships with institutional service providers, libraries can develop new services to help meet the information management challenges faced by researchers. Workforce training and expansion is required to help information professionals succeed in the eScience arena.
Chris Shaffer is University Librarian and Associate Professor at Oregon Health & Science University, where he develops partnerships to extend new library services to researchers. Mr. Shaffer was co-site PI for The eagle-i Consortium, led by Harvard University, which is developing a national biomedical research resource discovery network. He established the OHSU Library Ontology Development Group, which is reusing and developing sharable ontologies and creating curation practices and procedures. Mr. Shaffer is an active member of the Medical Library Association and a Distinguished Member of the Academy of Health Information Professionals. He holds a BA in Philosophy from Texas A&M University and an MS in Information Science from the University of North Texas.

Seeking our niche: Understanding the needs of research personnel to develop e-science services
Data may look very different depending upon the discipline that it is being produced within. Big data, little data, and every research project in between represents a different set of needs and expectations. How do libraries come to know and understand the needs of research personnel (both faculty and graduate students) across the widely varied disciplines of one institution? Through the development of new strategies and tools, librarians are developing services that proactively meet researcher needs.
Presenter Q&A
How should a librarian target their efforts related to large-scale project with many distributed partners? E.g. If science teams are getting larger, any one or two individuals will have a smaller view of a full project than in the past.
CS: Possible responses include a train-the-trainer approach or partnering with other information specialists. The key is identifying the people who will most benefit from library services. An analogy can be made to providing services to a large department.
MSN: I would start with trying to understand the data workflow of the project. Where is data collected? What data is being collected? Is the data forwarded to another group for analysis? It may be that there are one or two key people who have the general view of the data lifecycle. If so, they may be able to point to specific data management tasks that are difficult for that project. That said, at Purdue we have multiple large scale data management IT groups who employ full time data managers. As such, we are primarily working with "small scale" projects. As I mentioned in the workshop, international collaborations, inter-institutional collaborations, and interdisciplinary research groups present many data management issues, due to the fact that those teams don't have designated data managers, and may have not even thought through data management if the project pre-dates large grant issuing bodies' data management mandates. Understanding the lifecycle and having conversations to identify issues that need addressed apply for distributed projects as well as centralized ones.
The presentations have focused on data. What about scientific software? Are the approaches towards supporting data similar or different for scientific software?
CS: The eagle-i project (http://eagle-i.org/) indexes software and algorithms, with an eye toward reuse and sharing of resources. Some libraries provide software via group purchase or dedicated workstations and computer labs.
MSN: I have been working on a research collaboration for the past two years that explored the needs of computer scientists for managing software packages as data sets. We have approached the computer scientists in similar ways to other data sets but there are significant differences. The jargon/vocabulary of software management is problematic for information scientists. A good example is traceability. This is the concept of being able to identify all individuals who made changes to the software code and all changes introduced. This is parallel, similar but not synonymous to the concept of provenance as understood by information scientists. Having a conversation with computer scientists frequently can bring up terms like this, and it is easy to talk past each other.
Another difference is the prevalence of the attitude that technology can be created to fix the data management problem. As information scientists, we consider the human element to have a much more important role in the development of solutions than computer scientists do.
Still another difference is the role that lawyers and law play in the sharing of the software packages. Sharing software is very difficult, searching for software snippets that meets individual project objectives is incredibly time-consuming, and once the final software is done it may be locked down by corporations who paid for the software code to be created. The awareness of usage agreements and confidentiality agreements is also heightened for those creating software.
That said, the data lifecycle does apply to the development of software packages, and many of the same skills that are needed by graduate students in other disciplines apply directly to computer science graduate students. If anything, there is an enhanced recognition of what the laboratories are doing well in teaching students and enhanced awareness of weaknesses as well.
Do you have data set archive criteria?
CS: The standards for each discipline should drive the answer to this query. However, there are emerging criteria that can apply across disciplines. One place to start is the Data Curation Profiles (http://datacurationprofiles.org/).
MSN: This answer is from Courtney Matthews, the Purdue University Research Repository Digital Data Repository Specialist.
"The PURR Digital preservation policy outlines PURR's preservation commitments: https://purr.purdue.edu/legal/digitalpreservation.
In a nutshell we maintain all published datasets for 10 years. After 10 years / the "end of the initial commitment" datasets are vetted by the relevant subject specialist librarian(s) and a digital archivist.
They decide whether the dataset will be selected or deselected for inclusion the Library's permanent collection based on the priority levels outlined in the Digital Preservation Policy:
Priority 1: Data Sets associated with Publications. Rigorous effort will be made to ensure preservation of data sets associated with journal publications or other scholarly publications in perpetuity, or for as long as the data sets meet the Purdue Libraries collection development policies and practices, or is superseded in the future by an acceptable data repository.
Priority 2a: Stand-Alone Data Publications. Every reasonable step will be taken to preserve stand-alone data publications in accordance with best practices and collection development policies.
Priority 2b: Data Sets with High Research/Teaching Value. Every reasonable step will be taken to preserve data sets that are identified by subject specialist librarians or archivists as having high value for meeting the research and teaching needs of Purdue University or within the broader research community.
Priority 3: Other Data Files and Materials. No preservation steps will be taken for ephemeral materials deemed to be of little or no long-term value to the comprehensiveness of the collection. Working files of particular significance to Purdue's teaching and research needs, or within the greater research community, may be preserved on a select basis as appropriate."
A detail about the civil engineering project: What advice did you give the investigator for the CE project you described?
MSN: We actually made that project a pilot project, targeting display of multiple types of data at once. Working with the researcher, his primary value for the outcome was to be able to share his data in a way that made sense. We created a data portal that displayed the sensor data, the video still frame, and GIS data for the location of the sensors as well. Based upon that initial foray into data management, the researcher has continued to work with us in exploring data management and is now the head of a research program that is trialing creating data sets intended for sharing and publishing the data sets simultaneously with the research reports published by the research group.
How much of this is science librarianship vs e-science librarianship? Is there really a difference anymore?
CS: The answer to this question depends on your definition of e-science. If your definition is limited to large data sets and massive computing (e.g. astronomy data, or human genome projects) then there is a significant difference.
MSN: At Purdue, there is no difference any more. We are liaisons to departments and as part of that workload we include working with researchers to manage data. That said, we have highly trained data research specialists and metadata specialists to support us as we do this work and to supplement the technical knowledge that we are lacking. But from my viewpoint, if you are serving a STEM discipline, working with researchers to manage data is just part of being a good STEM librarian.
A large question - How do get your foot in the door? Departmental meetings?
CS: The first step is to prove your value and identify campus champions who will advocate for the library. Credibility demands success. Well executed pilot projects are one possible way to start.
MSN: I have found that departmental meetings don't work very well. The information provided to the disciplinary researchers are too generic for them to picture how we can help them. The collaborations around data management that I have done are either a result of pre-existing working relationships that have been developed over time, or word of mouth from one researcher to another. It is nearly always surprising to the disciplinary faculty member that there is someone researching data management when they first hear about it, but the disciplinary faculty members also recognize the value to themselves of collaborating with someone who is researching data best practices. They have to hear that information within the context of their own data management needs. I have frequently had a conversation about instruction or information literacy turn into a discussion about data through natural segues in the conversation. Those conversations don't always pan out, but they do frequently enough to keep me scrambling to get everything done.
What was that Twitter hashtag, one more time?
MSN: @datainfolit is the Twitter hashtag for our research group. You can also monitor public announcements via Facebook at www.facebook.com/datainfolit. The Data Information Literacy symposium will be held on September 23rd and 24th and will feature Elaine Martin as the keynote speaker for Day 1.

When a few friends asked me if I was still planning to do holiday photos this year, I paused a little. I love doing them--love seeing everyone and catching up, as much as anything--but it can be a little...um, athletic. You're up, you're down, you're balancing on the tippy-top of a step-stool teetering on uneven ground. While I am a daring bender of the pregnancy rules (I'll stop eating sushi when you stop eating McDonald's), I'm a profound klutz even while not gestating, so trying to take family photos 2 weeks before my due date seemed kinda dangerous.
I ultimately decided that I could make it work, but I needed to be on-the-ball and get everyone finished-up early this year, by the end of October. With the help of my lovely friends, I did just that.
Without further ado, six beautiful families and one kick-ass (Halloween) pirate captain.

Rathod Kuli (Rathods/Rastrakuts)
Rathods are descendents of the famous Rastrakuts. The Rastrkut dynasty was founded by the brave Dantidurg. His kingdom was spread all over Karantak, Maharashtra and Malwa. After him, Krishna II became the king. He built the famous temples at Verul. The great Jain Acharya Akalank was born in this dynasty.
In the Rashtrakut period, Jainism became a popular religion. The scholar of this subject Anant Sadashiv Altekar says: In Rashtrakut period, Jainism was popular in all sections of the society. Kings and layman, Generals and soldiers, Priests and farmers all were following Jainism' Shivlilamrut, a famous Marathi Hindu pothi says about this period: 'All the four varnas and all eighteen castes were following Jainism.'
The King Amoghvarsh of this dynasty was pupil of the famous Jain Acharya Jinsen. In the period of Amoghvarsh, Mahaviracharya was a famous Mathematician.
A baranch of Rastrakuts ruled from Kanoj (Rajasthan).
The Arab traveler Suleman who travelled India in Rashtrakut period, has written in his book,' This kingdom was one of the four largest kingdom in the world'

Supporters of a bill that would allow Missourians to carry concealed guns forced the measure to Senate passage Friday by employing a rarely used procedure. After more than 11 hours of debate over two days, proponents voted to abruptly end debate, then passed the bill over objections from those who had been trying to block it. The Senate`s 23-7 vote returns the measure to the House, which passed a somewhat different version in March on a 108-33 vote.

A man he was to all the country dear,
And passing rich with forty pounds a-year.
GOLDSMITH'S Deserted Village.
Mrs. Dods's conviction, that her friend Tyrrel had been murdered by the sanguinary Captain MacTurk remained firm and unshaken; but some researches for the supposed body having been found fruitless, as well as expensive, she began to give up the matter in despair. "She had done her duty"—"she left the matter to them that had a charge anent such things"— and "Providence would bring the mystery to light in his own fitting time"— such were the moralities with which the good dame consoled herself; and, with less obstinacy than Mr. Bindloose had expected, she retained her opinion without changing her banker and man of business.
Perhaps Meg's acquiescent inactivity in a matter which she had threatened to probe so deeply, was partly owing to the place of poor Tyrrel being supplied in her blue chamber, and in her daily thoughts and cares, by her new guest, Mr. Touchwood; in possessing whom, a deserter as he was from the Well, she obtained, according to her view of the matter, a decided triumph over her rivals. It sometimes required, however, the full force of this reflection, to induce Meg, old and crabbed as she was, to submit to the various caprices and exactions of attention which were displayed by her new lodger. Never any man talked so much as Touchwood, of his habitual indifference to food, and accommodation in travelling; and probably there never was any traveller who gave more trouble in a house of entertainment. He had his own whims about cookery; and when these were contradicted, especially if he felt at the same time a twinge of incipient gout, one would have thought he had taken his lessons in the pastry-shop of Bedreddin Hassan, and was ready to renew the scene of the unhappy cream-tart, which was compounded without pepper. Every now and then he started some new doctrine in culinary matters, which Mrs. Dods deemed a heresy; and then the very house rang with their disputes. Again, his bed must necessarily be made at a certain angle from the pillow to the footposts; and the slightest deviation from this disturbed, he said, his nocturnal rest, and did certainly ruffle his temper. He was equally whimsical about the brushing of his clothes, the arrangement of the furniture in his apartment, and a thousand minutiæ, which, in conversation, he seemed totally to contemn.
It may seem singular, but such is the inconsistency of human nature, that a guest of this fanciful and capricious disposition gave much more satisfaction to Mrs. Dods, than her quiet and indifferent friend, Mr. Tyrrel. If her present lodger could blame, he could also applaud; and no artist, conscious of such skill as Mrs. Dods possessed, is indifferent to the praises of such a connoisseur as Mr. Touchwood. The pride of art comforted her for the additional labour; nor was it a matter unworthy of this most honest publican's consideration, that the guests who give most trouble, are usually those who incur the largest bills, and pay them with the best grace. On this point Touchwood was a jewel of a customer. He never denied himself the gratification of the slightest whim, whatever expense he might himself incur, or whatever trouble he might give to those about him; and all was done under protestation, that the matter in question was the most indifferent thing to him in the world. "What the devil did he care for Burgess's sauces, he that had eat his kouscousou, spiced with nothing but the sand of the desert? only it was a shame for Mrs. Dods to be without what every decent house, above the rank of an alehouse, ought to be largely provided with."
In short, he fussed, fretted, commanded, and was obeyed; kept the house in hot water, and yet was so truly good-natured when essential matters were in discussion, that it was impossible to bear him the least ill-will; so that Mrs. Dods, though in a moment of spleen she sometimes wished him at the top of Tintock,E6 always ended by singing forth his praises. She could not, indeed, help suspecting that he was a Nabob, as well from his conversation about foreign parts, as from his freaks of indulgence to himself, and generosity to others — attributes which she understood to be proper to most "Men of Ind." But although the reader has heard her testify a general dislike to this species of Fortune's favourites, Mrs. Dods had sense enough to know, that a Nabob living in the neighbourhood, who raises the price of eggs and poultry upon the good housewives around, was very different from a Nabob residing within her own gates, drawing all his supplies from her own larder, and paying, without hesitation or question, whatever bills her conscience permitted her to send in. In short, to come back to the point at which we perhaps might have stopped some time since, landlady and guest were very much pleased with each other.
But Ennui finds entrance into every scene, when the gloss of novelty is over; and the fiend began to seize upon Mr. Touchwood just when he had got all matters to his mind in the Cleikum Inn — had instructed Dame Dods in the mysteries of curry and mullegatawny — drilled the chambermaid into the habit of making his bed at the angle recommended by Sir John Sinclair — and made some progress in instructing the humpbacked postilion in the Arabian mode of grooming. Pamphlets and newspapers, sent from London and from Edinburgh by loads, proved inadequate to rout this invader of Mr. Touchwood's comfort; and, at last, he bethought himself of company. The natural resource would have been the Well — but the traveller had a holy shivering of awe, which crossed him at the very recollection of Lady Penelope, who had worked him rather hard during his former brief residence; and although Lady Binks's beauty might have charmed an Asiatic, by the plump graces of its contour, our senior was past the thoughts of a Sultana and a haram. At length a bright idea crossed his mind, and he suddenly demanded of Mrs. Dods, who was pouring out his tea for breakfast, into a large cup of a very particular species of china, of which he had presented her with a service on condition of her rendering him this personal good office — "Pray, Mrs. Dods, what sort of a man is your minister?"
"He's just a man like other men, Maister Touchwood," replied Meg; "what sort of a man should he be?"
"A man like other men? — ay — that is to say, he has the usual complement of legs and arms, eyes and ears — But is he a sensible man?"
"No muckle o' that, sir," answered Dame Dods; "for if he was drinking this very tea that ye gat doun from London wi' the mail, he wad mistake it for common bohea."
"Then he has not all his organs — wants a nose, or the use of one at least," said Mr. Touchwood; "the tea is right gunpowder — a perfect nosegay."
"Aweel, that may be," said the landlady; "but I have gi'en the minister a dram frae my ain best bottle of real Coniac brandy, and may I never stir frae the bit, if he didna commend my whisky when he set down the glass! There is no ane o' them in the Presbytery but himsell — ay, or in the Synod either — but wad hae kend whisky frae brandy."
"But what sort of man is he? — Has he learning?" demanded Touchwood.
"Learning? — eneugh o' that," answered Meg; "just dung donnart wi' learning — lets a' things about the Manse gang whilk gate they will, sae they dinna plague him upon the score. An awfu' thing it is to see sic an ill-red-up house! — If I had the twa tawpies that sorn upon the honest man ae week under my drilling, I think I wad show them how to sort a lodging!"
"Does he preach well?" asked the guest.
"Oh, weel eneugh, weel eneugh — sometimes he will fling in a lang word or a bit of learning that our farmers and bannet lairds canna sae weel follow — But what of that, as I am aye telling them? — them that pay stipend get aye the mair for their siller."
"Does he attend to his parish? — Is he kind to the poor?"
"Ower muckle o' that, Maister Touchwood — I am sure he makes the Word gude, and turns not away from those that ask o' him — his very pocket is picked by a wheen ne'er-do-weel blackguards, that gae sorning through the country."
"Sorning through the country, Mrs. Dods? — what would you think if you had seen the Fakirs, the Dervises, the Bonzes, the Imaums, the monks, and the mendicants, that I have seen? — But go on, never mind — Does this minister of yours come much into company?"
"Company? — gae wa'," replied Meg, "he keeps nae company at a', neither in his ain house or ony gate else. He comes down in the morning in a lang ragged nightgown, like a potato bogle, and down he sits amang his books; and if they dinna bring him something to eat, the puir demented body has never the heart to cry for aught, and he has been kend to sit for ten hours thegither, black fasting, whilk is a' mere papistrie, though he does it just out o' forget."
"Why, landlady, in that case, your parson is any thing but the ordinary kind of man you described him — Forget his dinner! — the man must be mad — he shall dine with me today — he shall have such a dinner as I'll be bound he won't forget in a hurry."
"Ye'll maybe find that easier said than dune," said Mrs. Dods; "the honest man hasna, in a sense, the taste of his mouth — forby, he never dines out of his ain house — that is, when he dines at a'— A drink of milk and a bit of bread serves his turn, or maybe a cauld potato. — It's a heathenish fashion of him, for as good a man as he is, for surely there is nae Christian man but loves his own bowels."
"Why, that may be," answered Touchwood; "but I have known many who took so much care of their own bowels, my good dame, as to have none for any one else. — But come — bustle to the work — get us as good a dinner for two as you can set out — have it ready at three to an instant — get the old hock I had sent me from Cockburn — a bottle of the particular Indian Sherry — and another of your own old claret — fourth bin, you know, Meg. — And stay, he is a priest, and must have port — have all ready, but don't bring the wine into the sun, as that silly fool Beck did the other day. — I can't go down to the larder myself, but let us have no blunders."
"Nae fear, nae fear," said Meg, with a toss of the head, "I need naebody to look into my larder but mysell, I trow — but it's an unco order of wine for twa folk, and ane o' them a minister."
"Why, you foolish person, is there not the woman up the village that has just brought another fool into the world, and will she not need sack and caudle, if we leave some of our wine?"
"A gude ale-posset wad set her better," said Meg; "however, if it's your will, it shall be my pleasure. — But the like of sic a gentleman as yoursell never entered my doors!"
The traveller was gone before she had completed the sentence; and, leaving Meg to bustle and maunder at her leisure, away he marched, with the haste that characterised all his motions when he had any new project in his head, to form an acquaintance with the minister of St. Ronan's, whom, while he walks down the street to the Manse, we will endeavour to introduce to the reader.
The Rev. Josiah Cargill was the son of a small farmer in the south of Scotland; and a weak constitution, joined to the disposition for study which frequently accompanies infirm health, induced his parents, though at the expense of some sacrifices, to educate him for the ministry. They were the rather led to submit to the privations which were necessary to support this expense, because they conceived, from their family traditions, that he had in his veins some portion of the blood of that celebrated Boanerges of the Covenant, Donald Cargill,E7 who was slain by the persecutors at the town of Queensferry, in the melancholy days of Charles II., merely because, in the plenitude of his sacerdotal power, he had cast out of the church, and delivered over to Satan by a formal excommunication, the King and Royal Family, with all the ministers and courtiers thereunto belonging. But if Josiah was really derived from this uncompromising champion, the heat of the family spirit which he might have inherited was qualified by the sweetness of his own disposition, and the quiet temper of the times in which he had the good fortune to live. He was characterised by all who knew him as a mild, gentle, and studious lover of learning, who, in the quiet prosecution of his own sole object, the acquisition of knowledge, and especially of that connected with his profession, had the utmost indulgence for all whose pursuits were different from his own. His sole relaxations were those of a retiring, mild, and pensive temper, and were limited to a ramble, almost always solitary, among the woods and hills, in praise of which, he was sometimes guilty of a sonnet, but rather because he could not help the attempt, than as proposing to himself the fame or the rewards which attend the successful poet. Indeed, far from seeking to insinuate his fugitive pieces into magazines and newspapers, he blushed at his poetical attempts even while alone, and, in fact, was rarely so indulgent to his vein as to commit them to paper.
From the same maid-like modesty of disposition, our student suppressed a strong natural turn towards drawing, although he was repeatedly complimented upon the few sketches which he made, by some whose judgment was generally admitted. It was, however, this neglected talent, which, like the swift feet of the stag in the fable, was fated to render him a service which he might in vain have expected from his worth and learning.
My Lord Bidmore, a distinguished connoisseur, chanced to be in search of a private tutor for his son and heir, the Honourable Augustus Bidmore, and for this purpose had consulted the Professor of Theology, who passed before him in review several favourite students, any of whom he conceived well suited for the situation; but still his answer to the important and unlooked-for question, "Did the candidate understand drawing?" was answered in the negative. The Professor, indeed, added his opinion, that such an accomplishment was neither to be desired nor expected in a student of theology; but, pressed hard with this condition as a sine qua non, he at length did remember a dreaming lad about the Hall, who seldom could be got to speak above his breath, even when delivering his essays, but was said to have a strong turn for drawing. This was enough for my Lord Bidmore, who contrived to obtain a sight of some of young Cargill's sketches, and was satisfied that, under such a tutor, his son could not fail to maintain that character for hereditary taste which his father and grandfather had acquired at the expense of a considerable estate, the representative value of which was now the painted canvass in the great gallery at Bidmore-House.
Upon following up the enquiry concerning the young man's character, he was found to possess all the other necessary qualifications of learning and morals, in a greater degree than perhaps Lord Bidmore might have required; and, to the astonishment of his fellow-students, but more especially to his own, Josiah Cargill was promoted to the desired and desirable situation of private tutor to the Honourable Mr. Bidmore.
Mr. Cargill did his duty ably and conscientiously, by a spoiled though good-humoured lad, of weak health and very ordinary parts. He could not, indeed, inspire into him any portion of the deep and noble enthusiasm which characterises the youth of genius; but his pupil made such progress in each branch of his studies as his capacity enabled him to attain. He understood the learned languages, and could be very profound on the subject of various readings — he pursued science, and could class shells, pack mosses, and arrange minerals — he drew without taste, but with much accuracy; and although he attained no commanding height in any pursuit, he knew enough of many studies, literary and scientific, to fill up his time, and divert from temptation a head, which was none of the strongest in point of resistance.
Miss Augusta Bidmore, his lordship's only other child, received also the instructions of Cargill in such branches of science as her father chose she should acquire, and her tutor was capable to teach. But her progress was as different from that of her brother, as the fire of heaven differs from that grosser element which the peasant piles upon his smouldering hearth. Her acquirements in Italian and Spanish literature, in history, in drawing, and in all elegant learning, were such as to enchant her teacher, while at the same time it kept him on the stretch, lest, in her successful career, the scholar should outstrip the master.
Alas! such intercourse, fraught as it is with dangers arising out of the best and kindest, as well as the most natural feelings on either side, proved in the present, as in many other instances, fatal to the peace of the preceptor. Every feeling heart will excuse a weakness, which we shall presently find carried with it its own severe punishment. Cadenus, indeed, believe him who will, has assured us, that, in such a perilous intercourse, he himself preserved the limits which were unhappily transgressed by the unfortunate Vanessa, his more impassioned pupil:—
"The innocent delight he took
To see the virgin mind her book,
Was but the master's secret joy,
In school to hear the finest boy."
But Josiah Cargill was less fortunate, or less cautious. He suffered his fair pupil to become inexpressibly dear to him, before he discovered the precipice towards which he was moving under the direction of a blind and misplaced passion. He was indeed utterly incapable of availing himself of the opportunities afforded by his situation, to involve his pupil in the toils of a mutual passion. Honour and gratitude alike forbade such a line of conduct, even had it been consistent with the natural bashfulness, simplicity, and innocence of his disposition. To sigh and suffer in secret, to form resolutions of separating himself from a situation so fraught with danger, and to postpone from day to day the accomplishment of a resolution so prudent, was all to which the tutor found himself equal; and it is not improbable, that the veneration with which he regarded his patron's daughter, with the utter hopelessness of the passion which he nourished, tended to render his love yet more pure and disinterested.
At length, the line of conduct which reason had long since recommended, could no longer be the subject of procrastination. Mr. Bidmore was destined to foreign travel for a twelvemonth, and Mr. Cargill received from his patron the alternative of accompanying his pupil, or retiring upon a suitable provision, the reward of his past instructions. It can hardly be doubted which he preferred; for while he was with young Bidmore, he did not seem entirely separated from his sister. He was sure to hear of Augusta frequently, and to see some part, at least, of the letters which she was to write to her brother; he might also hope to be remembered in these letters as her "good friend and tutor;" and to these consolations his quiet, contemplative, and yet enthusiastic disposition, clung as to a secret source of pleasure, the only one which life seemed to open to him.
But fate had a blow in store, which he had not anticipated. The chance of Augusta's changing her maiden condition for that of a wife, probable as her rank, beauty, and fortune rendered such an event, had never once occurred to him; and although he had imposed upon himself the unwavering belief that she could never be his, he was inexpressibly affected by the intelligence that she had become the property of another.
The Honourable Mr. Bidmore's letters to his father soon after announced that poor Mr. Cargill had been seized with a nervous fever, and again, that his reconvalescence was attended with so much debility, it seemed both of mind and body, as entirely to destroy his utility as a travelling companion. Shortly after this the travellers separated, and Cargill returned to his native country alone, indulging upon the road in a melancholy abstraction of mind, which he had suffered to grow upon him since the mental shock which he had sustained, and which in time became the most characteristical feature of his demeanour. His meditations were not even disturbed by any anxiety about his future subsistence, although the cessation of his employment seemed to render that precarious. For this, however, Lord Bidmore had made provision; for, though a coxcomb where the fine arts were concerned, he was in other particulars a just and honourable man, who felt a sincere pride in having drawn the talents of Cargill from obscurity, and entertained due gratitude for the manner in which he had achieved the important task intrusted to him in his family.
His lordship had privately purchased from the Mowbray family the patronage or advowson of the living of St. Ronan's, then held by a very old incumbent, who died shortly afterwards; so that upon arriving in England Cargill found himself named to the vacant living. So indifferent, however, did he feel himself towards this preferment, that he might possibly not have taken the trouble to go through the necessary steps previous to his ordination, had it not been on account of his mother, now a widow, and unprovided for, unless by the support which he afforded her. He visited her in her small retreat in the suburbs of Marchthorn, heard her pour out her gratitude to Heaven, that she should have been granted life long enough to witness her son's promotion to a charge, which in her eyes was more honourable and desirable than an Episcopal see — heard her chalk out the life which they were to lead together in the humble independence which had thus fallen on him — he heard all this, and had no power to crush her hopes and her triumph by the indulgence of his own romantic feelings. He passed almost mechanically through the usual forms, and was inducted into the living of St. Ronan's.
Although fanciful and romantic, it was not in Josiah Cargill's nature to yield to unavailing melancholy; yet he sought relief, not in society, but in solitary study. His seclusion was the more complete, that his mother, whose education had been as much confined as her fortunes, felt awkward under her new dignities, and willingly acquiesced in her son's secession from society, and spent her whole time in superintending the little household, and in her way providing for all emergencies, the occurrence of which might call Josiah out of his favourite book-room. As old age rendered her inactive, she began to regret the incapacity of her son to superintend his own household, and talked something of matrimony, and the mysteries of the muckle wheel. To these admonitions Mr. Cargill returned only slight and evasive answers; and when the old lady slept in the village churchyard, at a reverend old age, there was no one to perform the office of superintendent in the minister's family. Neither did Josiah Cargill seek for any, but patiently submitted to all the evils with which a bachelor estate is attended, and which were at least equal to those which beset the renowned Mago-Pico during his state of celibacy.22 His butter was ill churned, and declared by all but himself and the quean who made it, altogether uneatable; his milk was burnt in the pan, his fruit and vegetables were stolen, and his black stockings mended with blue and white thread.
For all these things the minister cared not, his mind ever bent upon far different matters. Do not let my fair readers do Josiah more than justice, or suppose that, like Beltenebros in the desert, he remained for years the victim of an unfortunate and misplaced passion. No — to the shame of the male sex be it spoken, that no degree of hopeless love, however desperate and sincere, can ever continue for years to embitter life. There must be hope — there must be uncertainty — there must be reciprocity, to enable the tyrant of the soul to secure a dominion of very long duration over a manly and well-constituted mind, which is itself desirous to will its freedom. The memory of Augusta had long faded from Josiah's thoughts, or was remembered only as a pleasing, but melancholy and unsubstantial dream, while he was straining forward in pursuit of a yet nobler and coyer mistress, in a word, of Knowledge herself.
Every hour that he could spare from his parochial duties, which he discharged with zeal honourable to his heart and head, was devoted to his studies, and spent among his books. But this chase of wisdom, though in itself interesting and dignified, was indulged to an excess which diminished the respectability, nay, the utility, of the deceived student; and he forgot, amid the luxury of deep and dark investigations, that society has its claims, and that the knowledge which is unimparted, is necessarily a barren talent, and is lost to society, like the miser's concealed hoard, by the death of the proprietor. His studies were also under the additional disadvantage, that, being pursued for the gratification of a desultory longing after knowledge, and directed to no determined object, they turned on points rather curious than useful, and while they served for the amusement of the student himself, promised little utility to mankind at large.
Bewildered amid abstruse researches, metaphysical and historical, Mr. Cargill, living only for himself and his books, acquired many ludicrous habits, which exposed the secluded student to the ridicule of the world, and which tinged, though they did not altogether obscure, the natural civility of an amiable disposition, as well as the acquired habits of politeness which he had learned in the good society that frequented Lord Bidmore's mansion. He not only indulged in neglect of dress and appearance, and all those ungainly tricks which men are apt to acquire by living very much alone, but besides, and especially, he became probably the most abstracted and absent man of a profession peculiarly liable to cherish such habits. No man fell so regularly into the painful dilemma of mistaking, or, in Scottish phrase, miskenning, the person he spoke to, or more frequently enquired of an old maid for her husband, of a childless wife about her young people, of the distressed widower for the spouse at whose funeral he himself had assisted but a fortnight before; and none was ever more familiar with strangers whom he had never seen, or seemed more estranged from those who had a title to think themselves well known to him. The worthy man perpetually confounded sex, age, and calling; and when a blind beggar extended his hand for charity, he has been known to return the civility by taking off his hat, making a low bow, and hoping his worship was well.
Among his brethren, Mr. Cargill alternately commanded respect by the depth of his erudition, and gave occasion to laughter from his odd peculiarities. On the latter occasions he used abruptly to withdraw from the ridicule he had provoked; for notwithstanding the general mildness of his character, his solitary habits had engendered a testy impatience of contradiction, and a keener sense of pain arising from the satire of others, than was natural to his unassuming disposition. As for his parishioners, they enjoyed, as may reasonably be supposed, many a hearty laugh at their pastor's expense, and were sometimes, as Mrs. Dods hinted, more astonished than edified by his learning; for in pursuing a point of biblical criticism, he did not altogether remember that he was addressing a popular and unlearned assembly, not delivering a concio ad clerum — a mistake, not arising from any conceit of his learning, or wish to display it, but from the same absence of mind which induced an excellent divine, when preaching before a party of criminals condemned to death, to break off by promising the wretches, who were to suffer next morning, "the rest of the discourse at the first proper opportunity." But all the neighbourhood acknowledged Mr. Cargill's serious and devout discharge of his ministerial duties; and the poorer parishioners forgave his innocent peculiarities, in consideration of his unbounded charity; while the heritors, if they ridiculed the abstractions of Mr. Cargill on some subjects, had the grace to recollect that they had prevented him from suing an augmentation of stipend, according to the fashion of the clergy around him, or from demanding at their hands a new manse, or the repair of the old one. He once, indeed, wished that they would amend the roof of his book-room, which "rained in"23 in a very pluvious manner; but receiving no direct answer from our friend Meiklewham, who neither relished the proposal nor saw means of eluding it, the minister quietly made the necessary repairs at his own expense, and gave the heritors no farther trouble on the subject.
Such was the worthy divine whom our bon vivant at the Cleikum Inn hoped to conciliate by a good dinner and Cockburn's particular; an excellent menstruum in most cases, but not likely to be very efficacious on the present occasion.
22 Note III. — Mago-Pico.
This satire, very popular even in Scotland, at least with one party, was composed at the expense of a reverend presbyterian divine, of whom many stories are preserved, being Mr. Pyet, the Mago-Pico of the Tale, minister of Dunbar. The work is now little known in Scotland, and not at all in England, though written with much strong and coarse humour, resembling the style of Arbuthnot. It was composed by Mr. Haliburton, a military chaplain. The distresses attending Mago-Pico's bachelor life, are thus stated:—
"At the same time I desire you will only figure out to yourself his situation during his celibacy in the ministerial charge — a house lying all heaps upon heaps; his bed ill-made, swarming with fleas, and very cold on the winter nights; his sheep's-head not to be eaten for wool and hair, his broth singed, his bread mouldy, his lamb and pig all scouthered, his house neither washed nor plastered; his black stockings darned with white worsted above the shoes; his butter made into cat's harns; his cheese one heap of mites and maggots, and full of large avenues for rats and mice to play at hide-and-seek and make their nests in. Frequent were the admonitions he had given his maid-servants on this score, and every now and then he was turning them off; but still the last was the worst, and in the meanwhile the poor man was the sufferer. At any rate, therefore, matrimony must turn to his account, though his wife should prove to be nothing but a creature of the feminine gender, with a tongue in her head, and ten fingers on her hands, to clear out the papers of the housemaid, not to mention the convenience of a man's having it in his power lawfully to beget sons and daughters in his own house."— Memoirs of Mago-Pico. Second edition. Edinburgh, 1761, p. 19.
23 Scotticé, for "admitted the rain."
E6 p. 240. "Tintock." A hill on the Upper Tweed, celebrated in local rhyme as —
On Tintock tap there is a mist,
And in the mist there is a kist,
And in the kist there is a cap,
And in the cap there is a drap.
Tak' up the cap, drink out the drap,
And set it down on Tintock tap.
E7 p. 245. "Donald Cargill." See Editor's Notes to "Redgauntlet." Howie of Lochgoin says Cargill was executed in Edinburgh, not at Queensferry, as stated here. — A.L.

Fuel Transportation
The different methods of transporting hydrocarbons by rail, truck, or marine vessel, are in high global demand.
Consequently, operators seek to maximize the utilization to 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. Regular maintenance, product change outs, and retrofits are necessary to maintain fuel storage fleets, or vessels, and to meet different regulatory standards.
NanoVapor's, ST-1000, rapidly suppress fuel evaporation, thus assisting companies conducting their degassing process by executing their operations safer, increasing their turnaround time, and reducing the work area's explosive potential. The ST-1000 is an eco-friendly, intrinsically safe system, ultimately increasing the general safety work area while doing no incremental harm to the environment.

But now the bears are back and they're becoming a nuisance.
It costs the province time and money to hire game wardens to shoot and kill nuisance bears that are threatening the human population and thus Fall and Spring bear hunts allows Ontario hunters to kill bears and keep the bear population at a manageable level.
It is normally rare for black bears to attack humans (80% of bear attacks in North America are from grizzlies), but since bears fight for territory and when the population of bears explodes they end up encroaching on towns and city suburbs more - wandering in to find food in the same manner that raccoons do.
In the past the city has made new laws and spent $35-million on alternative approaches to nuisance bears, encouraging people to avoid leaving food or garbage in places where bears can get at it, but such approaches have had no success in lowering bear attacks on humans.
Currently northern Ontario has a bear hunting season that runs from mid-August into October, but with rising bear numbers and increasing bear attacks on humans it is clear that the bear population needs to be culled.
Fatal bear attacks in Ontario have been on the rise since the 1980s due to the careful balance between human populations and fluctuating bear populations.
Since the Spring bear hunt was cancelled in 1999 the black bear population in Northern Ontario has grown so numerous that the bears are now migrating south into more populated regions - and bear attacks have risen significantly because of this.
Bringing back the Spring bear hunt will allow hunters to kill more bears preemptively - which will ultimately save the province time and money by not having to send police officers or game wardens to deal with problem bears - and it will save human lives. It was really only a matter of time before the Spring bear hunt had to be brought back to safeguard territorial bears from traveling too far south.
But saving human lives is not enough for vegetarians and animal rights groups like PETA who want all hunting abolished (which would cost the province millions by having to hire people full time to kill nuisance bears on a constant basis). PETA is promoting the abolition of hunting (not just bears, but all animals), and also eliminating the farming of livestock (cows, chickens, pigs, etc)... as such their views are considered to be very controversial since most people in North America enjoy bacon and eggs on a regular basis.
Barker says it is "barbaric" to let bear cubs starve to death after their mothers are lured from the den by bait and then killed by bear hunters. "You don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize you're murdering every cub," says Bob Barker. "I urge every Canadian who knows anything about this to step up to the plate and take a swing for the cubs."
But what Barker fails to understand is that hunting in Ontario is governed by hunting tags - which are released for males and females of the species - and stiff fines for killing the wrong type of bear. This means the government can release X amount of male bear tags and X amount of female bear tags. And while sometimes a female might be killed instead of a male (for whatever reason), it allows the ministry to more accurately control the culling of bears.
And while that is true that bear cubs will starve during the Spring bear hunt, it is also true that reducing the population of bear cubs will sharply reduce bear populations in a hurry. Thus Ontario may only need 1 or 2 years of Spring bear hunts before the bear population has reached more manageable levels.
The good news is that most hunters also eat their kills - including bears, which tastes very gamey but is very high in protein. Ethical hunters believe in always eating their kills and feel very strongly about it.
There is even a huge variety of black bear cooking videos on YouTube. Like the two videos below:
Ontario Natural Resources Minister David Orazietti has disputed Bob Barker's claims about cubs being left to starve to death during a spring bear hunt. "I have a ton of respect for Mr. Bob Barker, but I'm not sure where he's getting his facts on this issue, and that's not in fact the case at all," he said.
As mentioned above, the ministry releases way more hunting tags for male bears than for females. Furthermore the new Spring bear hunt will be limited to only 8 of 95 wildlife areas this Spring in a pilot project to see if the province can curb bear populations in regions that are closest to civilization - and therefore reducing the number of emergency calls and instances where police are forced to shoot nuisance bears.
"I'm not sure if Mr. Barker is aware that eight other provinces in Canada and all territories have full province-wide or territory-wide spring bear hunts," says Orazietti. "This is a much smaller, targeted approach to deal with really what's become a public safety issue."
Furthermore the Ontario bear hunt will be non-profit and limited to local hunters only. That means no trophy hunters coming in from the USA or overseas to hunt bears. It will be limited only to local bear hunters.
Barker called the Spring bear hunt "unethical" and "legislated cruelty" and said it doesn't matter that Ontario is trying only a small scale pilot project. To him all hunting is wrong and unethical.
"Whether it's an experiment or it's going to last for 30 years, it is just totally unacceptable in today's society," he said. "I just can't understand how they can possibly do this."
Could it be because it is the most effective way of curbing the bear population?
That is line of thought being promoted by the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, which has urged the public to make sure "big city animal rights extremists" don't derail the pilot project for a Spring bear hunt.
"While the partial reinstatement of a hunt is a positive step, we believe that all of bear country deserves to experience the benefits of a spring hunt," says the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters in a statement.
Hunting is also a tricky activity to get into. It is usually passed from father to son (most hunters are male, despite what you might see on the Hunger Games). To become a hunter in Ontario you must first complete the Ontario Hunter Education Course plus get either your H1 (firearms) or H2 (bowhunting) Outdoors Card, plus enter a lottery to get hunting tags (of which there is a limited number and randomly distributed). As such hunting is an activity that in recent decades has been on the decline as the population shifts to a more urban society.
Last year a black bear wandered into a Northern Ontario town on Halloween, a night when small children were walking around with bags full of candy. Fortunately police responded before anyone was injured or killed.
"We've had over 50 resolutions from municipalities wanting to opt in to this pilot program, and that certainly speaks to the sense of urgency that communities have in northern Ontario in terms of dealing with this," says Orazietti.
"We have young kids in schools who can't go out for recess because bears are in their playground," he said. "Teachers are wearing bear whistles to call the students back into the safety of the school."
Such unsafe conditions has parents up in arms, demanding that the province deal with the nuisance bears.
A Spring bear hunt to cull the number of bears is the logical solution.
If the number of nuisance bear reports drops dramatically in those 8 regions it will be a sign that the Spring bear hunt is working.
"I think the most important thing we need to do now is to ensure that the proposed pilot project has the desired effect, including a reduced number of 911 calls," says Orazietti.

The October jobs report missed expectations on Friday but was likely solid enough to help Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's case for the American economy.
The US economy added 161,000 jobs in October, fewer than the 173,000 expected. Additionally:
- The Mexican peso climbed after the jobs report
- The dollar jumped after the jobs report
- Wages grew at the fastest pace since the financial crisis
- Labor force participation ticked down
- Bond traders didn't like the jobs report
While the headline number may have been lackluster, the fact that it is still growing may be enough for Clinton's argument. A positive change in jobs added between the first and third quarters is generally correlated with a victory for the incumbent party.
That said, the Trump campaign disagreed.
Election aside, the jobs report provided the Fed with a strong case for raising rates in December.

On the day of our first big dust storm, during the depression era, my Father was out in the field plowing. In the north we saw something turning black. It was like the whole world was black.
My Mother became frightened as she didn't know why the sky was turning black. I was a little girl. I became afraid and started to cry. My Mother and I wanted my Father.
The wall kept coming closer, rolling big rolls. Just as it was about to hit, we saw my Father just ahead of it. We didn't have a cellar at that time, so we went in the house and shut all the windows. We felt better with Father with us. He was afraid, too, he had never seen anything like this before either.
When it hit, it was black, you could barely see our kerosene lamp burning on the table. Dirt sifted in our home everywhere. We had to cover our mouths with handkerchiefs to keep the dust out of our throats. This one lasted only a few hours if I remember right.
Later we learned this was our first big dust storm on the plains of western Kansas. Our family has been in many more from that first one of the depression era of the 1930s.

Back in 1955 a call went out from the editors of the then Capper's Weekly asking for readers to send in articles on true pioneers. Hundreds of letters came pouring in from early settlers and their children, many now in their 80s and 90s, and from grandchildren of settlers, all with tales to tell. So many articles were received that a decision was made to create a book, and in 1956, the first My Folks title – My Folks Came in a Covered Wagon – hit the shelves. Nine other books have since been published in the My Folks series, all filled to the brim with true tales from Capper's readers, and we are proud to make those stories available to our growing online community.

The black shinigami is a mercenary group that is known across the world. If there was a war they had a member in it. The leader is the group is name Earnest shinigami who is also married to Scarlett shinigami. Earnest is a very big and bulky man who has a soft spot of his grandchildren. He has the body of a 46 year old but is really 70 years of age. Scarlett is in the say boat as Earnest but is slim and smaller. Earnest accessory is a bracelet that transforms into a heavy blade scythe with its blade up right and not on the side. Scarlett does not have a accessory but carries a lightweight sniper rifle. Anyway back to what I was saying about the group though war is rare now they find work doing other tasks like helping farmers with the harvest or help build something like housing. The group is allied with the ScorchWood family but not in paper wise though marriage. Earnest and the late ScorchWood family leader arrange for their only children to marry each other. The ScorchWood giving a male while the shinigami gives a female. The first child being a girl while the other is male who is the only true ScorchWood till this date.

Firearms are great defensive weapons, but they can be a source of unnecessary accidents when you're not being careful while handling it. It is, therefore, important to take up a firearms safety course if you must deal with their use. Even when you use firearms for your personal safety and security, it is important to take a course to ensure that you do not end up harming yourself or others.
Below are some of the most important rules that you will learn in a firearms safety course:
1. Always perform a safety check. It is the number one rule when taught during firearms safety course – always unload the gun when you are not using it. But as a safety precaution, you should always assume that a gun is loaded when you lift it up. This will prompt you to perform a safety check prior to handling to ensure there are no accidental firing.
2. Always be aware of where the gun is pointed. There are instances wherein you might overlook the second rule and handle a gun that is loaded. The worst case scenario is that the gun fires while you are holding it. Therefore, you should never point a gun towards something that you are not ready to destroy. Moreover, you should never point it towards another human being.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger. This is another vital rule to keep in mind that is emphasised in a firearms safety course. Never place your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
4. Don't rely on the gun's safety. Even when the safety feature is incorporated into the gun's design to protect you from accidental firing, you should not really on it entirely. Mechanical errors could happen and that is when disaster comes as a result.
5. Be aware of what is behind your target. When you are target shooting, always be aware of what is behind your target as bullets can go through its intended target. Do not shoot your gun until all is cleared.
6. Study the mechanical features of the specific gun you are using. Each type of weapon is unique; therefore, it also requires different handling requirements.
7. Use proper ammunition. Like the mechanical needs and handling requirements, the type of ammunition to be used for a certain type of weapon will also vary. Make sure you know the difference.
8. Have your gun serviced regularly. This is an important step to preventing unwanted mechanical errors that could result in unfortunate accidents involving your gun.
9. Always wear eye and ear protection. The sound produced by firing a gunshot can damage your sense of hearing. Meanwhile, shooting a gun could release paraffin powder that can damage your eyesight.
10. Do not alter or modify your gun. Unless you are a trained firearms expert or completed a safety course for firearms, you should never do anything to change your gun on your own. Visit Asset Training Australia.
When it comes to firearms safety, you should not take the issue lightly. While this weapon might be designed to protect you from harm, make sure it does not turn into a harmful weapon that can inflict harm on unsuspecting individuals.

|ISS Zarya
|FGB in shop
Russian propulsion module to be first element of International Space Station.
Credit: NASA. 41,567 bytes. 478 x 282 pixels.
The Russian Zarya FGB space tug was the cornerstone of the new International Space Station since it acted as an adapter between the US and Russian-built ISS segments and also provided some propulsion and propellant storage capabilities. It was closely based on the older Russian TKS spacecraft design that was intended as a ferry for the Almaz military station. The United States paid $220 million for the FGB (vs. $450 million for Lockheed's rejected 'Bus-1' option) and Khrunichev successfully completed the project on schedule and within budget. However, the launch had to be delayed by 17 months to November 1998 because the Russians were unable to complete their own ISS Zvezda service module on time.
The Russian-built propulsion module that was the first element of the International Space Station. Launched by a three-stage Proton rocket, the Zarya control module, also known by the technical term Functional Cargo Block and the Russian acronym FGB provided the station's initial propulsion and power. The 20,000 kg pressurised module was launched on Nov. 20 1998 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan.
The module was named Zarya, meaning "sunrise", in tribute to the new beginning in space that will be ushered in by the its launch as the first component of the International Space Station (and to finally use the name the engineers wanted to call the first Russian space station, Salyut 1, 28 years earlier). Its launch marked the beginning of an international venture of unprecedented scale.
Less than two weeks after Zarya reached orbit, the Space Shuttle Endeavour rendezvoused with it and attached the U.S.-built Unity connecting module. Zarya was to provide orientation control, communications and electrical power attached to Unity for several months before the launch of the third component, a Russian-provided crew living quarters and early station core known as the Service Module. The Service Module would enhance or replace many functions of the Zarya. Later in the station's assembly sequence, the Zarya module was to be used primarily for its storage capacity and external fuel tanks.
Zarya's solar arrays and six nickel-cadmium batteries provided an average of 3 kilowatts of electrical power. Each of the two solar arrays was 11 m long and 3 m wide. Using the Russian Kurs system, the Zarya would perform an automated and remotely piloted rendezvous and docking with the Service Module in orbit. Its docking ports would accommodate Russian Soyuz piloted spacecraft and unpiloted Progress resupply spacecraft. The module was modified to allow it to be refuelled by a Progress vehicle docked to its down-facing port if necessary. The module's 16 fuel tanks held more than 6 tonnes of propellant. The attitude control system for the module includes 24 large steering jets and 12 small steering jets. Two large engines are available for reboosting the spacecraft and making major orbital changes.
After reaching the initial elliptical orbit and separating from the Proton's third stage, a set of pre-programmed commands automatically activated the module's systems and deployed the solar arrays and communications antennae. On ensuing days after several operational tests, the module was commanded to fire its engines and circularise its orbit at an altitude of about 390 km, the orbit at which Endeavour would rendezvous and capture the spacecraft using the Shuttle's robotic arm.
The U.S.-funded and Russian-built Zarya was a U.S. component of the station although it was built by the Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Centre (KhSC) in Moscow under a subcontract to The Boeing Co. for NASA. It was shipped to the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakstan, launch site to begin launch preparations in January 1998.
Maximum Diameter: 4.2 m. Total Mass: 20,000 kg. Total Propellants: 12,000 kg. Electrical System: Solar cells.
The U.S.-funded and Russian-built Zarya was a U.S. component of the International Space Station.
This was the first launch in the assembly of the International Space Station. The Zarya FGB was funded by NASA and built by Khrunichev in Moscow under subcontract from Boeing for NASA. Its design from the TKS military station resupply spacecraft of the 1970's and the later 77KS Mir modules. Zarya included a multiple docking adapter, a pressurised cabin section, and a propulsion/instrument section with a rear docking port. Initial orbit was 176 lm x 343 km x 51.6 degrees. By November 25 it had manoeuvred to a 383 km x 396 km x 51.7 degree orbit, awaiting the launch of Shuttle mission STS-88 which docked the Unity node to it.

Sad news from TMZ:
Michael Clarke Duncan, star of such movies as "The Green Mile" and "The Whole Nine Yards," passed away this morning. He was 54.
According to our sources, his passing came very suddenly. We're told his fiancee, Omarosa Manigault, was with him in his hospital room in Los Angeles and left for a short period of time. When she returned … he had died.
Our sources say Omarosa's mother was with him when he passed.
Duncan's rep tells TMZ the actor never fully recovered from the myocardial infarction he suffered on July 13.
On a personal note, I met Duncan during a press junket for the film "Daredevil" back in 2003. Duncan played Kingpin, the larger than life villain out to smite our costume-clad hero (Ben Affleck).
Movie junkets can be superficial affairs, events where actors are on their best behavior and journalists do all they can to squeeze some juicy gossip out of the assembled stars.
Duncan was the proverbial gentle giant during his time with my fellow reporters. His deep, rumbling voice didn't fit the quiet persona he exuded, and he frequently paid tribute to his mother during the press exchange.
