Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport (IATA: ATL, ICAO: KATL, FAA LID: ATL), also known as Atlanta Airport, Hartsfield, or Hartsfield–Jackson, is an international airport 7 miles (11 km) south of downtown Atlanta, Georgia. It is named after former Atlanta mayors William B. Hartsfield and Maynard Jackson. The airport has 192 gates: 152 domestic and 40 international.[2] ATL covers 4,700 acres (1,902 ha) of land and has five parallel runways.[2]
The airport has international service within North America and to South America, Central America, Europe, Africa and Asia. As an international gateway to the United States, Hartsfield–Jackson ranks seventh.[3] Many of the nearly one million flights are domestic flights; the airport is a major hub for travel in the southeastern region of the country.
Atlanta has been the world's busiest airport by passenger traffic since 1998,[4] and by number of landings and take-offs every year since 2005 except 2014.[5][6] Hartsfield–Jackson held its ranking as the world's busiest airport in 2012, both in passengers and number of flights, by accommodating 100 million passengers (more than 260,000 passengers daily) and 950,119 flights.[3][7][8] In 2017, it remained the busiest airport in the world with 104 million passengers.[9]
Hartsfield–Jackson is the primary hub of Delta Air Lines, and is a focus city for low-cost carriers Frontier Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and Spirit Airlines. With just over 1,000 flights a day to 225 domestic and international destinations, the Delta hub is the world's largest hub.[10][11] Delta Air Lines flew 75.4% of the airport's passengers in February 2016, Southwest flew 9.2%, and American Airlines flew 2.5%.[12] In addition to hosting Delta's corporate headquarters, Hartsfield–Jackson is also the home of Delta's Technical Operations Center, which is the airline's primary maintenance, repair and overhaul arm.[13]
The airport is mostly in unincorporated areas of Fulton and Clayton counties, but it spills into the city limits of Atlanta,[14] College Park,[15] and Hapeville.[16] The airport's domestic terminal is served by MARTA's Red and Gold rail lines.Contents
Hartsfield–Jackson began with a five-year, rent-free lease on 287 acres (116 ha) that was an abandoned auto racetrack named The Atlanta Speedway. The lease was signed on April 16, 1925, by Mayor Walter Sims, who committed the city to develop it into an airfield. As part of the agreement, the property was renamed Candler Field after its former owner, Coca-Cola tycoon and former Atlanta mayor Asa Candler. The first flight into Candler Field was September 15, 1926, a Florida Airways mail plane flying from Jacksonville, Florida. In May 1928, Pitcairn Aviation began service to Atlanta, followed in June 1930 by Delta Air Service. Later those two airlines, now known as Eastern Air Lines and Delta Air Lines, respectively, would both use Atlanta as their chief hubs.[17] The airport's weather station became the official location for Atlanta's weather observations September 1, 1928, and records by the National Weather Service.[18]
It was a busy airport from its inception and at the end of 1930 it was third behind New York City and Chicago for regular daily flights with sixteen arriving and departing.[19] (In May 1931 Atlanta had four scheduled departures.) Candler Field's first control tower opened March 1939.[20] The March 1939 Official Aviation Guide shows fourteen weekday airline departures: ten Eastern and four Delta.[21]
In October 1940, the U.S. government declared it a military airfield and the United States Army Air Forces operated Atlanta Army Airfield jointly with Candler Field. The Air Force used the airport primarily to service many types of transient combat aircraft. During World War II the airport doubled in size and set a record of 1,700 takeoffs and landings in a single day, making it the nation's busiest in terms of flight operation. Atlanta Army Airfield closed after the war.[20]
In 1942[22] Candler Field was renamed Atlanta Municipal Airport and by 1948, more than one million passengers passed through a war surplus hangar that served as a terminal building. Delta and Eastern had extensive networks from ATL, though Atlanta had no nonstop flights beyond Texas, St Louis and Chicago until 1961. Southern Airways appeared at ATL after the war and had short-haul routes around the Southeast until 1979.
In 1957 Atlanta saw its first jet airliner: a prototype Sud Aviation Caravelle that was touring the country arrived from Washington D.C.[citation needed] The first scheduled turbine airliners were Capital Viscounts in June 1956; the first scheduled jets were Delta DC-8s in September 1959. The first trans-Atlantic flight was the Delta/Pan Am interchange DC-8 to Europe via Washington starting in 1964; the first scheduled international nonstops were Eastern flights to Mexico City and Jamaica in 1971-72. Nonstops to Europe started in 1978 and to Asia in 1992–93.
Atlanta claimed to be the country's busiest airport, with more than two million passengers passing through in 1957 and, between noon and 2 p.m. each day, it became the world's busiest airport.[20] (The April 1957 OAG shows 165 weekday departures from Atlanta, including 45 between 12:05 and 2:00 PM (and 20 between 2:25 and 4:25 AM).) Chicago Midway had 414 weekday departures, including 48 between 12:00 and 2:00 PM. In 1957, Atlanta was the country's ninth-busiest airline airport by flight count and about the same by passenger count.[23]
That year work began on a $21 million terminal that opened May 3, 1961. It was the largest in the country and could handle over six million travelers a year; the first year nine and a half million people passed through.[24] In March 1962 the longest runway (9/27, now 8R) was 7,860 feet (2,400 m); runway 3 was 5,505 feet (1,678 m) and runway 15 was 7,220 feet (2,200 m) long.
In 1971 the airport was named William B. Hartsfield Atlanta Airport after former Atlanta mayor William B. Hartsfield, who had died that year. The name change took effect on February 28, which would have been Hartsfield's 81st birthday. Later that year the name became William B. Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport.[25]
The airport's terminal until the 1970s was off Virginia Avenue, on the north side of the airport. Six pier concourses radiated from a central building.[26] Construction began on the present midfield terminal in January 1977 under the administration of Mayor Maynard Jackson. It was the largest construction project in the South, costing $500 million. The complex was designed by Stevens & Wilkinson, Smith Hinchman & Grylls, and Minority Airport Architects & Planners.[27] The new terminal opened on September 21, 1980, on-time and under budget.[28] It was designed to accommodate up to 55 million passengers per year and covered 2.5 million square feet (230,000 m²). In December 1984 a 9,000-foot (2,700 m) fourth parallel runway was completed and another runway was extended to 11,889 feet (3,624 m) the following year.[20]
In 1999 Hartsfield–Jackson's leadership established the Development Program: "Focus On the Future" involving multiple construction projects with the intention of preparing the airport to handle a projected demand of 121 million passengers in 2015. The program was originally budgeted at $5.4 billion over a ten-year period, but the total is now revised to be at over $9 billion.[29]
In May 2001 construction of an over 9,000-foot (2,700 m) fifth runway (10–28) began. It was completed at a cost of $1.28 billion and opened on May 27, 2006.[30] It bridges Interstate 285 (the Perimeter) on the airport's south side, making Hartsfield–Jackson the nation's only civil airport to have a runway above an interstate (although Runway 17R/35L at Stapleton International Airport in Denver, Colorado crossed Interstate 70 until that airport closed in 1995). The massive project, which involved putting fill dirt eleven stories high in some places, destroyed some surrounding neighborhoods and dramatically changed the scenery of Flat Rock Cemetery and Hart Cemetery, both of which are on the airport property.[31] It was added to help ease traffic problems caused by landing small- and mid-size aircraft on the longer runways used by larger planes such as the Boeing 777, which need longer runways than the smaller planes. With the fifth runway, Hartsfield–Jackson is one of only a few airports that can perform triple simultaneous landings.[32] The fifth runway is expected to increase the capacity for landings and take-offs by 40%, from an average of 184 flights per hour to 237 flights per hour.[33]
Along with the fifth runway, a new control tower was built to see the entire length of the runway. The new control tower is the tallest in the United States, over 398 feet (121 m) tall. The old control tower, 585 feet (178 m) away from the new one, was demolished August 5, 2006.[34]
Atlanta City Council voted on October 20, 2003, to rename the airport Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport, to honor former mayor Maynard Jackson, who died June 23, 2003. The council planned to drop Hartsfield's name from the airport, but public outcry prevented this.[35][36]
In April 2007 an "end-around taxiway" opened, Taxiway Victor. It is expected to save an estimated $26 million to $30 million in fuel each year by allowing airplanes landing on the northernmost runway to taxi to the gate area without preventing other aircraft from taking off. The taxiway drops about 30 feet (9.1 m) from runway elevation to allow takeoffs to continue.[37]
After the Southeastern U.S. drought of 2007, the airport (the eighth-largest water user in the state) made changes to reduce water usage. This included adjusting toilets (725 commodes and 338 urinals) and 601 sinks. (The two terminals alone use 917,000 gallons or about 3.5 million liters a day.) It also stopped using firetrucks to spray water over aircraft when the pilot made a last landing before retirement (a water salute).[38][39] The city of Macon offered to sell water to the airport, through a proposed pipeline.[40]
The airport today employs about 55,300 airline, ground transportation, concessionaire, security, federal government, City of Atlanta and Airport tenant employees and is the largest employment center in Georgia. With a payroll of $2.4 billion, the airport has a direct and indirect economic impact of $3.2 billion on the local and regional economy and an annual, regional economic impact of more than $19.8 billion.[41] Since the opening of Concourse F in May 2012, the airport now has 192 gates which is the most at any airport.
In December 2015, the airport became the first airport in the world to serve 100 million passengers in a year.[42]Historical airline service
Delta and Eastern dominated the airport during the 1970s. United, Southern, Piedmont, Northwest and TWA were also present.[43] In 1978, after airline deregulation, United and TWA no longer served Atlanta, while Southern successor Republic was the airport's third-largest carrier.[44]
Eastern was a larger airline than Delta until deregulation in 1978, but Delta was early to adopt the hub and spoke route system, with Atlanta as a hub between the Midwest and Florida, giving it an advantage in the Atlanta market. Eastern ceased operations in 1991 due to labor issues; American Airlines considered establishing an Atlanta hub around that time, but decided Delta was too strong there and instead replaced Eastern's other hub in Miami, leaving Delta with a monopoly hub at Atlanta.[45]
From the 1980s until Eastern's demise in 1991, Delta occupied Concourse A and part of Concourse B, Eastern occupied the remainder of Concourse B and Concourse C, other domestic airlines used Concourse D, and Concourse T was used by international flights.[46][47] By the mid-1990s, Delta's hub grew to occupy all of Concourse B and the southern half of Concourse T, and international flights moved to the new Concourse E.[48]
ValuJet was established in 1993 as low-cost competition for Delta at ATL. However, its safety practices were called into question early and the airline was grounded after the 1996 crash of ValuJet Flight 592. It resumed operations in 1997 as AirTran Airways and was the second-largest airline at ATL until it was acquired by Southwest in 2011 and absorbed into Southwest on December 28, 2014. Southwest is now the airport's second largest carrier.Future
On August 28, 2014, the airport management unveiled a preliminary new master plan.[49] Included in the preliminary master plan are the replacement of the existing domestic parking garages, an end-around taxiway and additional cargo facilities on the south side of the airport, the addition of three new international concourses (G, H, and I), the conversion of Concourse E to domestic use and a sixth runway.
On March 10, 2016, the final 20-year master plan was finalized.[50] The final master plan includes the following:
Proposed Concourses H and I are not currently included in the final master plan, but may be added later if demand warrants in 2030 or later.Facilities Runways ATL diagram showing runways and terminals.
Atlanta has five runways, all parallel, aligned east–west. 8L/26R and 8R/26L are north of the terminal area and 9L/27R, 9R/27L, and 10/28 are south of it. From north to south the runways are:[2]Runways at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International E Length Width W Use Notes 8L → 9,000 ft
Under visual and marginal flying conditions (about 88% of the time) runways 26R and 27L handle arrivals and 26L and 27R handle departures. Runway 28 is assigned to either arrivals or departures, depending on what airfield operations has prioritized. Arrivals approach from the east, and departures take off to the west.
Under instrument conditions (about 12% of the time) the airfield shifts: arrivals approach from the west, and departures take off to the east. 8L and 9R handle arrivals, and 8R and 9L handle departures. Runway 10 is reassigned to arrivals or departures depending on airfield priority.[52][disputed – discuss]Terminal Terminal and concourse diagram of ATL. Domestic Terminal (DT) is on the west end, and International Terminal (IT) is on the east end. Approximate route of the Transportation Mall and The Plane Train indicated.
Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport has terminal and concourse space totaling 6,800,000 square feet (630,000 m2).[2]The Transportation Mall. The portion between Concourse T and Concourse A includes the exhibit Zimbabwe Sculpture: a Tradition in Stone
There are two terminals, the Domestic Terminal and the Maynard H. Jackson Jr. International Terminal, where passengers check in and claim bags.
The Domestic Terminal is on the western side of the airport. It is divided into two sides – Terminal South and Terminal North – for ticketing, check-in, and baggage claim. Delta is the sole tenant of Terminal South, while all other domestic airlines are located at Terminal North. The portion of the building between Terminal North and Terminal South includes the Atrium, which is a large, open seating area featuring concessionaires, a bank, conference rooms, an interfaith chapel and offices on the upper floors with the main security checkpoint, the Ground Transportation Center and a MARTA station on other levels.[53]
International flights arrive and depart from the international terminal, either concourse E or F, located on the eastern side of the airport. Concourse F and the new international terminal opened May 16, 2012, while concourse E opened in September 1994, in anticipation of the 1996 Summer Olympics. International pre-cleared flights can arrive at concourses T & A–D. International flights can also depart from concourses T & A–D, such as when space is unavailable at concourses E or F, or when an aircraft arrives as a domestic flight and continues as an international flight. Furthermore, all international pre-cleared flights, regardless of origin, will collect their baggage at the international terminal.
The 192 gates are located in seven concourses between the Domestic and International terminals. Concourse T is connected to the Domestic Terminal. The remaining six concourses from west to east are Concourses A, B, C, D, E, and F.[2] Concourses A–D and T are used for domestic flights, while Concourses E and F are used for international flights and some domestic flights when gates at T or A–D are not available, or when an aircraft arrives as an international flight and continues as a domestic flight. Concourse F is directly connected to the International Terminal, while Concourse E has a designated walkway to the International Terminal and also has its own Federal Inspection station for connecting passengers. Delta Air Lines has gates and operations at all concourses.
The gates at each concourse:
When the current passenger terminal opened in 1980, it consisted of only the domestic terminal, the north half of concourse T (which housed international flights), and concourses A-D. Concourse E opened in 1994 for international flights in time for the 1996 Summer Olympics, which were held in Atlanta.[20] Once Concourse E was opened, Concourse T was converted to domestic use and the former U.S. Customs hall was converted into a dedicated baggage claim area for American Airlines. Concourse F and the International Terminal opened in 2012.
The terminals and concourses are connected by the Transportation Mall, a pedestrian tunnel with a series of moving walkways,[54] and The Plane Train, an automated people mover. The Plane Train has stations along the Transportation Mall at the Domestic Terminal (which also serves Concourse T), at each of the six other concourses (including concourse F which is connected to the International Terminal), and at the domestic baggage claim area. The Plane Train is the world's busiest automated system, with over 64 million riders in 2002.[54]
At one time, there was a second underground walkway between Concourses B and C that connected the north ends of the two concourses and made it possible to transfer without returning to the center of the concourse. This was constructed for Eastern Airlines, which occupied these two terminals. This walkway is now closed, and its entrance at Concourse B has been replaced by a bank of arrival/departure monitors.Hartsfield–Jackson Rental Car Center
The Hartsfield–Jackson Rental Car Center, which opened December 8, 2009, houses all ten airport rental agencies with capacity for additional companies. The complex features 9,900 parking spaces split between two four-story parking decks that together cover 2,800,000 square feet (260,000 m2), a 137,000-square-foot (12,700 m2) customer service center, and a maintenance center for vehicles that features 140 gas pumps and 30 wash bays equipped with a water recovery system. An automated people mover, the ATL SkyTrain, runs between the rental car center, the Domestic Terminal, and the Gateway Center of the Georgia International Convention Center,[55] while a four-lane roadway that spans Interstate 85 connects the rental car center with the existing airport road network.[56]Airlines and destinations Passenger AirlinesDestinationsRefs Aeroméxico Connect Guadalajara (resumes September 1, 2019), León/Del Bajío, Querétaro [57] Air Canada Express Toronto–Pearson [58] Air Choice One Jackson (TN) [59] Air France Paris–Charles de Gaulle
The domestic terminal is accessed directly from Interstate 85 at exit 72. The international terminal is accessed directly from Interstate 75 at exit 239. These freeways in turn connect with the following additional freeways within 10 miles: Interstate 285, Interstate 675, Georgia State Route 166, Interstate 20.Public transit Main article: Airport (MARTA station)
Hartsfield–Jackson has its own train station on the city's rapid transit system, MARTA. The above-ground station is inside in the main building, between the north and south domestic terminals on the west end. The Airport station is currently the southernmost station in the MARTA system.[82]Rental Car Center
The Rental Car Center (RCC) is a one-stop facility that houses 13 rental car brands and vehicles for ATL guests. Operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the RCC is just a few minutes away from ATL via the ATL SkyTrain, an electric-powered automated people mover system that connects the Rental Car Center to additional parking and the airport. The following rental car companies operate from the RCC: Advantage, Airport Rent A Car, Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, E-Z Rent-A-Car, Enterprise, Hertz, National, Payless, Sixt and Thrifty.[83]ATL SkyTrain Main article: ATL SkyTrain
The ATL SkyTrain also serves the Georgia International Convention Center, the Atlanta Airport Marriott Gateway, SpringHill Suites Atlanta Airport Gateway, and the Renaissance Atlanta Airport Gateway Hotel.Other facilities 990 Toffie Terrace hangar, former ExpressJet/Atlantic Southeast Airlines headquarters
The 990 Toffie Terrace hangar, a part of Hartsfield–Jackson Airport,[84] and located within the City of College Park corporate limits, is owned by the City of Atlanta.[15] The building now houses the Atlanta Police Department Helicopter Unit.[85][86] It once served as the headquarters of the regional airline ExpressJet.[87]
Before the merger, Atlantic Southeast Airlines headquartered in the hangar, then named the A-Tech Center.[88] In December 2007, the airline announced it was moving its headquarters into the facility, previously named the "North Hangar." The 203,000-square-foot (18,900 m2) hangar includes 100,000 square feet (9,300 m2) of hangar bays for aircraft maintenance. It has 17 acres (6.9 ha) of adjacent land and 1,400 parking spaces for employees. The airline planned to relocate 100 employees from Macon, Georgia to the new headquarters. The Atlanta City Council and Mayor of Atlanta Shirley Franklin approved of the new 25-year ASA lease, which also gave the airline new hangar space to work on 15 to 25 aircraft in overnight maintenance; previously its aircraft were serviced at Concourse C. The airport property division stated that the hangar was built in the 1960s and renovated in the 1970s. Eastern Airlines and Delta Air Lines had previously occupied the hangar. Delta's lease originally was scheduled to expire in 2010, but the airline returned the lease to the City of Atlanta in 2005 as part of its bankruptcy settlement. The city collected an insurance settlement of almost $900,000 as a result of the cancellation.[84]Restaurant contracts
Restaurant contracts at the airport are worth about $3 billion and complaints over the contracts fit into a historical pattern of allegations of "cronyism and political influence" at the airport. Concession company SSP America sued the City of Atlanta to challenge the methods used to award contracts, but this suit was dropped in 2012.[89] Contracts are awarded on a preferential basis if a business qualifies as an "airport concessions disadvantaged business enterprise".[90] The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) challenged the disadvantaged business status of four businesses—Mack II's, Hojeij Branded Foods, Atlanta Restaurant Partners and Vida Concessions—though a review by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) in 2012 concluded that the evidence did not support decertifying the businesses, and the FAA said it will review the GDOT documents before possibly appealing to the U.S. Department of Transportation.[90] An internal GDOT audit found calculation errors in 27 of 40 cases it reviewed for disadvantaged status.[91]Culture
As the dominant airport in the Southern United States and the nation's (and world's) busiest in terms of passengers handled (mainly due to being Delta's flagship hub), an old joke in the South quips that, upon one's death, regardless of whether one goes to Heaven or Hell one will connect in Atlanta to get there.[92][93][94][95][96][97]
Scenes from the movies Due Date and Life as We Know It, both released in 2010, were filmed and had scenes take place on location at Hartsfield Airport. Also, the films Unaccompanied Minors and Cabin Fever, released in 2006 and 2002 respectively, similarly featured Hartsfield Airport.[98]
In a parody Star Wars episode of Family Guy entitled "It's a Trap!", Stewie Griffin, playing Darth Vader, joked that "Even though we're in a galaxy far, far away, we still have to change in Atlanta."Accidents and incidents

New Mexico is a spectacular landscape. Before statehood, Anglo settlers arriving from the northeast found, in the old Spanish capital at Santa Fe, an aesthetic profoundly different from the one they had left behind.
The Spanish had been living among the Hopi for 350 years. The adobe houses that the Spanish had adapted from Hopi tribes were perfectly suited to the high desert.
These houses and their furnishings were unfamiliar, especially in the context of the Classical Greek tradition from back east.
Many settlers applied Spanish and Native design practices. And gradually, a locally sensitive yet Classically informed aesthetic emerged.
This period and its artifacts are known as Territorial.
Finish Guide / Measuring / Cancellations & Returns / Share
Reclaimed Wood
For rich character and depth of interest, reclaimed wood is an ideal choice. No two pieces are alike. A mottled appearance and variation of colour are to be expected and appreciated.
This furniture is constructed using aged and weathered materials. Please expect variation of colour and wood condition on made to order purchases.
For less varied colour production and a more uniform effect, please consider furniture made from new materials.
As with all wood products, the environment in which this item is placed will interact with the wood and in some cases slight movement or settling can occur. Long periods of exposure to direct sunlight will likely cause fading.
Of Note
Extra Wide Boards
Finished to a rich, mottled lustre, the top is made from extra wide planks. Barn boards, when you can find them, tend to be wider than new wood planks. A consequence, no doubt, of our mature forest industries. We always prefer end leaves for barn wood tables. Any other leaf system requires cutting the top in half, which would be a true shame. This material is special and difficult to come by - humbling in its longevity.
Proper Joinery
The apron is mortised into the top of the leg. There's a tongue on the apron and a groove in the leg - referred to as a mortise and a tenon. They're fit together, glued and pegged into place. These solid joints aren't going anywhere. Alternatively, if you'd like us to ship you your table, we'll use a corner bracket. That way the legs are removable and shipping is less expensive.
No Moving Parts
Notice the slots in the apron - where the rails of the end leaves slide in, and the only clue that this is an extension table. Enjoy a simple solid top table as your standard set up. No cutting the table top in half. No telescoping brackets or gear systems. Nothing to break. Nothing to repair. To add four place settings, insert the leaves at the drop of a hat.
Made To Measure
This table is available custom sized. There's an opportunity to choose the best size for your room and lifestyle. As a rule of thumb, try to leave 24" minimum around each side of the table. And for every 24" in length, there's room for one person on each side of the table. So a six foot table can seat eight people - three on each side and one on each end. The width of the chairs is a crucial measurement. To avoid that awkward seat in front of the leg, be sure to consider how many chairs will fit between the legs of the table.

Then, she cracks open the bathroom home to watch me heading down on Kimberly on her behalf bed. God just knows what's going on in her mischievous mind at the moment. Where'd Brenda go? I question, pausing my tongue to view around her bedroom. I believe she gone downstairs to confirm the celebration, Kimberly fibs, distracting me with her hands running through my hair.

She'll be right back, Kimberly assures, rubbing and caressing her breasts to help keep my eyes entertained. Darn, this really is too simple, Brenda blurts, flinging the toilet door available, wearing a massive, realistic- seeking tie on. What the -, I exclaim, snatching my mind around, staring at the band on Brenda's wearing. Hahaha....... The look on your face is fucking expensive, Brenda jokes, creeping on the bed, laughing. Brenda's fun infects Kimberly and she breaks out joking, too. I can not help but to chuckle correct along with them. Between equally of these, they've was able to surprise me with a thing that I positively wasn't expecting - maybe not in a million years. The night just maintains getting better and better. External, Kryss converts off the headlights on his car. Creeping through the night, he brings up and areas across the street from Brenda's house. With Brenda's room curtains closed, there is no way for us to see his red Mustang left in the street, scoping out the all-girls party. Opening a alcohol, Kryss chugs it down in a single huge gulp. Then, he wipes his mouth on his sleeve. Furrowing his eyebrows, he tosses the clear bottle out the individual window. A spectacular, contemptuous grin extends across his experience, extreme it with disgust. Starting yet another beer, he chugs down nearly all of it. Learning the silhouettes while they move facing the family room windows, he waits, his brain churning and festering with intoxicated thoughts.

We were up early, as Truck had to be at Landrover in Launceston at 8am, for them to try to fix whatever is wrong in front.
We walked around parts of the city for a while. Fortunately, the dealer was not too far from the central city area.
Visited a good looking craft shop, where I bought some embroidery fabric.
Went to the Library, and found they had the Tasmanian Pioneer Records, and a good family history research set up. I began to research mum's family, using the microfiche and found out quite a bit, including that my grandfather could not write. His name, on his marriage record, was signed with a X.
We got a phone call to say that Truck was ready a lot earlier than expected. John went to fetch it, while I worked on at the Library. It just needed a proper wheel balance, apparently – the Burnie K Mart one was not done properly.
On the way back, went to the mill at Legana because John wanted to swap one of the pieces of wood he bought yesterday, for a better piece. We arranged to go back tomorrow to collect same.
Tea was chicken dijonnaise.

Recently this week, self proclaimed Luo Ambassador singer Moses Okori aka Coco Finger was involved in a freak accident along Jinja road while on his way to an OMO promotion in Jinja town.
"I almost died in a car accident on my way to jinja #omo promotion!!!thanks for yo prayers ….love you Lord!" He wrote to his fans.
This comes after an earlier related incidence in which he was arrested for bad parking by police after the car he was travelling in got stuck in a ditch. There were reports that he was arrested for smoking week.
"To my fans and family and all the people out there who love cocofinger. All the allegations are false! I wasn't arrested for smoking ganja….as its alleged,my car got stuck in the trench around 3am in the morning while leaving the studio so we decided to stay in the car till morning so that we get help,when police came accused me of wrong parking Dats it.
Everything is ok…came out yesterday.
New chune coming out…titled #more Vibes". He cleared on face book.
However reports now reaching our desk indicate that, Coco Finger who has been very aggressive and vocal in his support for fellow singer Desire Luzinda after her nude photos were leaked is finalizing on a song dedicated to her.
The song titled 'Kifananyi'(Photograph) is apparently in defence of Desire after her leaked nude photos went viral on internet and social media platforms like Facebook and WhatsApp. He advised Desire and her fans to remain strong during the difficult moments.
Coco Finger's song done in Kiswahili and English is expected to hit the airwaves this weekend and plans to do a collabo soon with the shamed Diva. We will keep you updated on any new developments.

During an ABC press conference in Pasadena, Calif., two months ago for the new version of "American Idol," judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan couldn't name any of the final three winners of the singing competition.
Ryan Seacrest, who was the host of the Fox version that ended its 15-year run in April of 2016 and returns as the host for the ABC version, didn't volunteer the name of a recent winner, either.
"Don't put me on the spot," he cracked.
The three new judges will start the attempt to make "American Idol" great again starting at 8 p.m. Sunday on WKBW-TV, followed by a second episode at 8 p.m. Monday.
Judging by the preview of the two-hour premiere featuring a self-described awkward female teenager, an overweight country boy, a formerly homeless man who lived in a tent and a teenage crooner who all illustrate you can't tell a book by its cover, the new judges could form a trio to sing Frank Sinatra's "My Way."
You won't be hearing any Simon Cowell snark from the judges, who often softly let down the contestants they don't send to Hollywood by advising them they can try again when they find their identity or voice.
Perry is the most playful of the trio, giving a 19-year-old boy a surprise kiss that he claims is his first ever and later dancing with a teenage boy.
Richie and Bryan frequently flash knowing smiles as they instantly realize they have found someone who can really sing.
The contestants come with stories about overcoming something in their lives or memories of growing up just knowing that they would one day land on "American Idol."
In these polarizing times, "Idol" just may have returned at the right moment to reestablish itself and make Fox regret its decision to let it go almost two years ago.
In the upbeat January interview, the new judges downplayed any suggestions one would play the bad cop like Cowell did.
"I'm blunt, but I can't be mean because I'm a woman," said Perry to laughter.
"There is only one Simon Cowell," added showrunner Trish Kinane. "And he was 15 years ago, and he's doing a slightly different version of Simon Cowell on 'America's Got Talent' at the moment, but we weren't looking, 'Hey, let's get a Simon Cowell.'"
"We wanted judges with credibility, who knew what they were talking about, were huge successes in their own right, who were articulate and who generally cared about the contestants. And that's the difference."
Richie added it isn't easy to be a tough guy when a contestant says he is homeless before blowing them away with their voices.
"And I'm not saying I'm having you come on the show because you are homeless and I feel sorry for you," said Richie. "That kid is incredible and is the hope of his entire family. Now, that story is compelling."
The premiere doesn't spend much time on people who can't sing, although there are some odd performances by people just satisfied to get their few minutes of fame on TV.
Kinane noted that near the end of the original "Idol" run the really bad performers were minimized because it no longer felt right to put "borderline, unstable people up and laugh at them."
"But that's not to say we don't want humor in 'Idol,'" she added. "Humor is a very important part of 'Idol.' So if someone is eccentric, that's slightly different, or if they've got a huge rock voice, which is something you wouldn't normally hear, we'll put that up, and we want that fun… So we want the humor, but we don't want the exploitation."
Richie hopes to find an artist with "instant identity" who is more memorable than the last three "Idols" he and the other judges couldn't name.
The bigger question is why the three judges would want to stake their reputations on the new version of "Idol."
Richie said he's frequently been offered a chance to make videos to explain songwriting, performance, dealing with the press and dealing with the pressure of the business.
"And then I thought about it for a moment and I said, 'How many people are actually going to read it?'" said Richie. "And then I thought about 'Idol,' and I got the call, thank God. And the thought for a moment was, 'Nah.' And then I realized, 'Reaching people.' The beautiful part about this was I love the judging, the judges. We're artists, and we know exactly how to critique talent.
"So all the things that I was going to put in my video and my CD and my master class I'm actually going to be able to tell the the students... in person. I consider myself the instructor basically."
"It's a real 'pay-it forward' moment," said Perry, who added the timing for her was right.
"'American Idol' and I have always been circling each other, and it just hasn't been the right timing," said Perry. "Now after 10 years and a lot of, you know, aging and learning and providence, I can take all that information and really mentor and give constructive criticism, because that's really what we do. No one is here to say … something that is negative. We're here to really find a star and, if someone isn't a star, delicately help repurpose them on the path that's going to be good for them."
Bryan has the country attitude about his "Idol" participation after turning down previous TV opportunities to focus on touring. But he jumped at the chance of doing "Idol."
"It was never a moment's thought for me, because I get inspired," said Bryan. "I judge and I watch this like a fan of music… I'm in there on the emotional ride with these kids. When they start singing and they are moving me emotionally, I get wrapped up in the moment. I get wrapped up in the pageantry and the dreams coming true."
"It's about finding an actual 'Idol,' making that good old American dream come to life once again that we all can be inspired by," said Perry. "And it's just it's a beautiful story. We need those beautiful stories right now to help lift us up, inspire us, and believe in ourselves again."
Perry added that seeing the contestants' "raw dreams, their raw ambition, their hope" has re-inspired her,
"'Oh, my gosh, I was there 10 years ago,'" said Perry. "I had two cars repossessed. I had three labels drop me. I was couch-surfing. I was eating Trader Joe's frozen chicken nuggets every day of the week. I know exactly where you are. And we have this ability to give them this incredible journey. That's what 'American Idol' is."
An "Idol" winner also has a marketing advantage in these tough times for musical artists.
"I think that, like, these days, it's so hard to stand out," said Perry. "You have to, like, light yourself on fire on Instagram while singing."
You could say the same thing about all the TV shows premiering in March.
"American Idol" has one big advantage: Name recognition.
Starting Sunday, we'll find out if ABC is dreaming to think it can be great TV again.

From: Real Clear Politics
For four decades, Minnesota has been fool's gold to every Republican White House hopeful who saw an opportunity there to steal a win in the Democratic-leaning state. But with a still fluid 2012 electoral map, both sides are eyeing the North Star State, known as much for its political quirkiness as for its progressive tradition.
A Republican presidential nominee has not won Minnesota since Richard Nixon pulled off the feat in 1972, making the state the longest-running GOP bust in the nation.
Still, Minnesota has been a hard-fought battleground in the last three presidential cycles. George W. Bush came within 2.4 percentage points of winning there in 2000 and within 3.5 points of taking it in 2004. And in 2008, the Republican Party once again had high hopes for Minnesota. John McCain accepted the party's nomination at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul and both he and vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin campaigned in the state that fall, but Barack Obama ended up winning it by a comfortable 10 points.
The current RealClearPolitics polling average has the president leading there by the same margin, but public surveys have been sporadic.
While news organizations have more typically placed Minnesota in the "safely Democratic" column this year, national Republicans and Democrats are positioning themselves to unleash full-bore efforts, if it looks like such a push will be needed and could affect the results.
Obama's operation in Minnesota is being helmed by Jeff Blodgett, who managed all three of the late Sen. Paul Wellstone's Senate campaigns there, as well as Obama's 2008 effort in the state. National Democratic strategists privately contend that they do not expect Minnesota to be in play for Romney, but the Obama campaign has nonetheless dispatched field workers to the state.
And when Obama campaign manager Jim Messina released his team's view of the current political map on Monday, Minnesota was listed as a "lean-Democratic" state -- in the same category as Nevada, Michigan, and Pennsylvania -- rather than one that was considered safely in Obama's column.
Obama made an appearance in Minnesota on Friday, speaking in Golden Valley on a day when the Labor Department released gloomy economic news that underscored the challenges he faces nationwide.
Minnesota Democrats say they are taking nothing for granted in November, but they also note several reasons to feel confident about the president's chances.

I wrote a set of posts over on Dropping Anchors with some lists to help potential foster parents prepare their homes for their home study safety inspection as well as tips from experiences foster parents to make the transition of a new foster child easier. Check them out if you're in that category!

Gender Reveal Surprise Christmas Baby Shower01/08/2015
That's lot of words, huh? We had a Christmas baby-gender-reveal surprise baby shower. It was an unforgettable blessing organized by my friend Steph with a part of our foster mom support community from across the country. I had passed Steph the sealed envelope from the ultrasound tech because she offered to give us something more special than a piece of paper to open on Christmas day. (And she's one of the most creative people I know!) She rallied the troops behind my back and they sent gifts to Steph to wrap and organize into a really unique gender reveal surprise for us. I am still so overwhelmed with gratitude that they would bless our family like this. Most of these women I've never even met in person, although we connect daily through social media to encourage, pray for, commiserate with and entertain each other.
The first present to open was this ornament that Steph made. It will be such a special keepsake on our Christmas tree every year.
(Please excuse my Christmas-morning-no-makeup-pajamas family.)
The first baby boy outfit we opened…
Ali got some special gifts, too.
These little knee pads made me swoon.
A teething necklace in one of my favorite colors.
A fellow chicken mama sent this one!
At some point while I was opening gifts and Jason was documenting it, Ali started taking photos with my DSLR.
These are her photos…
I am so thankful! What an amazing surprise for Christmas day, to find out we're having a son and to be showered with so many thoughtful and adorable gifts for him.
Meet the Mama12/22/2014
I was interviewed in a little getting-to-know-you post over on Dropping Anchors blog last week. Check it out if you'd like to know more about me, why I'm a foster mom and what my experience has been like for the past 3.5 years.
Home Tour: Guest Room11/13/2014
In a matter of five minutes our Next Kid's Room can be converted into a guest room by removing the portable crib, crib storage box, changing pad and diaper changing supply cart.
This little night stand was bought at a yard sale and made over when I was putting together our first kids' room back in 2011. I like this clock in here because it has a sleep timer with ocean sounds, rain or radio.
I debated about leaving the rocking chair, but it could be moved out easily as well. (It's currently only $78.25 on Amazon!)
The black acoustic guitar was a gift from my parents on my 16th birthday. My professional guitarist husband thinks it's trash but I say it's sentimental. If any of our guests get inspired to bang out some tunes on a cheap old guitar with rusty strings, they can feel free. Otherwise, it's art.
This mid-century modern dresser was a vintage store score from our first kids' room as well. I love it because it's changing table height (which is why I moved it into this room) but also because it's beautiful, sturdy, solid wood and in great condition. I picked up the bookshelf from a thrift store and gave it a new life with paint to match the nightstand and a stained plywood back.
Home Tour: Next Kid's (or Kids') Room (this room with the baby elements added back in)
Home Tour: Next Kid's (or Kids') Room11/04/2014
This room makeover is finally complete and ready for our next inhabitants—our next foster placement, baby Froggie due in April or overnight guests. The room includes the rocker I bought when baby Alianna arrived. We replaced the shower curtain we've been using in our foster kids' room for the past 3 years with these textured green light-blocking curtains from Target.
I stuck to my floor plan pretty closely but I decided that a footstool took up unnecessary space.
The double bed is low and close enough to be used in place of a footstool.
A second rug gives a fair amount of soft play space on the floor. The poster is by French Paper Co. and was a gift from my art school bestie, Renata, for our first kids room.
I'm still a very big fan of this crib, which I nominated as The Ideal Crib for Foster Parents last year. It's smaller than a typical crib and can easily be folded down to move into another room or store flat to about a 6″ depth. The poster and storage toy box are from IKEA.
That blank spot above the dresser/changing table is begging for some artwork. Both rugs in this room are from IKEA. The vintage metal cart between the bookshelf and dresser holds diaper changing supplies, burp cloths, bibs and receiving blankets. It's easy to move around as needed and is still stocked from Pumpkin.
The bulletin board above the bookshelf is a collage of family photos, separated by "Who Lives Here" on the left side and photos of our former foster children on the right side. I have temporarily hanging here the first and so far only gift I have bought for our belly baby "Froggie." It's such a simple phrase to put on a bib but for foster and adoptive parents it's always loaded… because we are not the only mom and dad in those cases. With baby Froggie, for the first time, we're the only Mom and Dad. Our baby can wear this bib without anyone getting offended, feeling left out or jealous, and without raising any questions (unless we're questioning his or her feelings about Jason and me, I suppose!).
I'll come back soon with a second part of this room tour when the room is converted into a guest room. I don't think I mentioned in previous posts that this room is approximately 10′ x 12′. It can accommodate three people with a double bed and crib, night stand, dresser, bookshelf, rocking chair and standard size closet.

Dropping Anchors11/03/2014
I'm excited and honored to be part of a new blog written by a group of foster moms (and hopefully some other perspectives, too) called Dropping Anchors. I wrote the first post which went live on Saturday, called These Weirdos Are My Tribe. Today there's an excellent post written by my friend Kate which explains What It Means to Drop Anchors. I'd love for you to check it out and let me know what you think!
A New Little Pumpkin to Love10/15/2014
"Whoever arrives next" beat Froggie to the punch and is now occupying our next kid's room. His name—for social media purposes—is Pumpkin and he's just as sweet as could be.
After two very busy weeks at work with three magazine deadlines and two short trips out of town, I'm way behind on blogging and have plenty to go back and share about. However, this news needs to be shared right away. We got back from our second trip on Sunday night. At work late on Monday afternoon, I was finishing up my last of three deadlines when my phone rang. DCS placement showed up on the screen and I wondered if this would be a good one. We've only had a couple calls since Firefly left on July 3 and none worked out with our availability. This call was for a 1-month-old boy. Our only reservations were that he's too young for childcare for a couple more weeks and in the back of my mind I was doing the math for the age difference between him and baby Froggie… seven months. I'm trying not to think too much about that right now because in foster care a lot can change in six months. Pumpkin is our sixth foster child to parent. Of the previous five, four of them have been with us three months or less. Our Alianna, of course, is the exception. I know so little about Pumpkin's case at this point that I have no way to predict how long he'll be with us. I've been missing Firefly badly and maybe it's partly the pregnancy hormones but I'm just so thrilled to have another little baby to snuggle. His short history is hard and angering, so it's not all cuddles and new baby smell around here. We also have deal with the ugly reality of why he is in state custody.
The life interruption is real and difficult. Adding a new family member with just hours notice turns our worlds upside down for a little while. It was almost 3 hours between saying yes to the placement worker and Pumpkin arriving at our house. That's 3x longer than we usually have to prepare. It was enough notice for me to finish up my work, tell my boss, pick up dinner on my drive home, sit down to eat as a family of three, scramble through the baby room pulling out boxes of bottles and infant boy clothes, and set up the diaper changing supplies. Somewhere in the rush I knelt down and explained to Ali that another little baby was coming to stay with us for a little while. She's so sweet and understanding and she LOVES babies. As soon as he came through the door she was asking to hold him.
Once the papers were signed and the workers left to drive home through a monsoon, Daddy Jason called a family prayer meeting. Ali finally had her chance to hold him while Jason and I surrounded them and prayed over Pumpkin, his case and our family—especially big sister Ali—as we move forward. So far he has been mostly delightful. He's been sleeping well and eating well. We've had some bouts of fussiness, but we're all still getting to know each other. I've spent a good amount of time snuggling him just like the photo below and he sure loves to be held close. If you're a prayer, please pray for his health (for complete restoration and detox), for his case (lots of meetings, hearings, decisions happening this week and next), and for all of us as we get to know each other and tread water through the waves of transition and mix of emotions.

Genesis 42:1–43:34
God's discipline and their selflessness and submission to God, lead agents of divine blessings to resolve past sin.
This section begins with the famine of 41:57 being assumed as the background. So the brothers (without Benjamin, Jacob's favorite) are dispatched to Egypt for food.
When the brothers arrive in Egypt, one cannot but wonder how their path intersected with that of Joseph. That a tiny group of people, among the many hungry foreigners and natives in Egypt looking for food, just happened to meet the Prime Minister of the land would be an astounding coincidence, were it not for our knowledge of the sovereignty and providence of God, who has been, and continues to be, at work all through the Joseph Story.
But the long-lost sibling does not reveal himself to his brothers whom he recognizes: Joseph does not trust his brothers. Instead, he tests them (42:15, 16) to see whether their attitudes of the past had changed or not. The accusations and defenses—that the sons of Jacob are "spies" and not "honest men" (42:9–14)—are traded back and forth, bringing home powerfully to the brothers the impact of a false accusation. It must have gotten them thinking about what they had done to an innocent brother, Joseph. In any case, the brothers are permitted to return home, sans Simeon (42:19), who would be held hostage until Benjamin was brought to Egypt.
This complication produces a lot of self-examination amongst the brothers who proceed to confess among themselves, truly remorseful of what they had done to their Joseph many years ago. In fact, they connect present "distress" with the "distress" they had themselves inflicted on another innocent (42:21–22)—this is clearly a changed group of characters.
On their journey back home, the brothers discover money in the sack of one of them (42:27–28; also in 42:35), and the siblings are thrown into even more consternation. Again they see the hand of God operating against them in judgment for past misdeeds.
So we see here role-reversal—the brothers get a taste of Joseph's own suffering in precise sequence: helplessness with bullying, false charges with serious repercussions, and imprisonment. But we also see role-duplication—with the money in their bags, they are being tested to see if they will now make the same egregious choice as they did before, to abandon a brother.
At any rate, once home, Judah successfully persuades Jacob to send Benjamin with them on the second journey to Egypt (43:3–10). This brother's reference to Benjamin as "our brother" (43:4) counters Jacob's label ("my son") and the exclusivity ("he alone is left") with which he talks of Benjamin (42:38). Yet there is no resentment exhibited with regard to the aspersions cast on him, Judah, and his brothers by Jacob, that they had done away with two of his sons (42:36). Clearly, Judah (with his siblings) has been transformed: his selflessness here for the sake of the larger family unit/tribe is remarkable.
In Egypt, in a poignant scene, Joseph is deeply stirred as he sees Benjamin, "his brother" and "his mother's son" (43:29–30). But Joseph will exercise this favoritism towards his closest sibling again, seeing that he gets five times as much food as the others (43:34). Would the brothers fret and fume over one more exhibition of favoritism? If they did, then the subsequent arrest of Benjamin over the putative theft of Joseph's silver goblet would turn out to be a godsend to those stewing in spite. In other words, the brothers are being strongly tempted to treat the special kid, Benjamin, as they had treated another special son, Joseph. But we get ahead of ourselves—that's in the next section.

Strachur is located on the east bank of Loch Fyne on the Cowal peninsula in old Argyll.
I would like readers to note that there are some discrepancies between the following article by Jenny Paterson and Graham Holtons ??? That isthe nature of history - Once it has happened we are never quite sure what happened!
The Seven Sons of John MacArthur
Much of my Macarthur ancestry has been from my grandfather's notes cross-referenced with various resources, some of which have there own authority substantiated such as Burke's Colonial Gentry, Geneological & Heraldic History of the Colonial Gentry by Sir Bernard Burke CB LL.D King of Arms. 1970 edition, Vol 1 & 2, p224-225. Burkes Colonial Gentry states- "Macarthur of Strachur was chief of the clan Campbell previous to 1427, since which the oldest cadet, MacCailinmore of Campbell of Loch Arve, now Duke of Argyle, has filled that position, not by right of descent, but by feudal and territorial power" and then goes on to "John Macarthur , Esq, of Strachur, Loch Arve, N.B, was slain at Culloden." and details the seven sons and their descendants going into greatest detail with John, of Camden Park and his children.
ElectricScotland.com website under Clan Campbell states- "Another account makes Arthur the first laird of Strachur, to have descended of the family of Argyll, at a later period, in which the present laird seems to acquiesce, by taking with a mark of cadetcy, the arms and livery of the family of Argyll, after they had been quartered with those of Lorn. The laird of Strachur has been always accounted, according to the custom of the Highlands, chief of the clan Arthur or Macarthur" and in 1427 "…John Macarthur, who was beheaded, and his whole lands forfeited. From this period the chieftainship, according to Skene, was lost to the Macarthurs; the family subsequently obtained Strachur in Cowal, and portions of Glen falloch and Glendochart in Perthshire."
Also of interest, in the booklet "Return to Loch Fyne" by Eoin McArthur, when referring to the origins of the macArthur Clan, he states- "The late Charles Fergusson has recorded his opinion that their home was a moraine, or glacial mound, situated in Inverglen, Strachur, on which are remains of what could have been a fort. This mound, with surrounding stonework, can still be seen, and is marked 'Dun' on the Ordinance Survey Map."
Since my ancestor was the laird of Strachur, it seems my ancestry is linked with the chiefship and fortunes of Clan Arthur (or Macarthur) and so I look forward to reading any research being done by our Clan.
I consider the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography may have combined two Royal Navy "Johns" (John b1755 son of Alexander, and John b1779 son of William) as my John had a son that immigrated to Australia, thus a connection with Governor Hunter, the painting at Camden Park and the authorship of Nelson's biography.
John Macarthur (b1678 & died 16th April 1746)
His seven sons were:
1) Charles born about 1715 Strachur and died after 1746.
2) Unknown born about 1717, most likely Strachur.
3) John born about 1719 Inverglen, Strachur. Married Mary McNeil of Cowal.
4) Alexander born about 1721.
And John (b1766 Stoke & d1834) married 1788 Elizabeth Veale and had eight children. He was an army captain and is credited with introducing the merino sheep to Australia. I have a copy of their descendants.
And William (b1770 & died in infancy).
5) William born about 1723 was a farmer in county Nairn.
Richard Parkin (b1827 London & d1894 Wombat AUST) who immigrated to Australia 1849 and married Mary Grace Williams (her third marriage) with ONLY ONE child Colin Duncan b1888 Wombat, my grandfather who changed surname back to Macarthur.
William Colin (b1832 SCOT & d1894 USA) whose son William immigrated to New Zealand.
Duncan (died in infancy)
Alexander Christopher (b1840 SCOT) whose daughter Estelle (b1875 & d1947) married Thomas Hutson. My family have kept in touch with their children and grandchildren. One of these relatives has John "merino" Macarthur's Masons apron and certificate.
6) Unknown born about 1725 and died 1746 at the battle of Culloden without issue.
7) Unknown born about 1727 went to the American colonies.

With time, a great many other designers have increased and developed the document model, while using it as a fundamentally useful tool in aircraft design. One of the original known applied (as in compound structures and many other aerodynamic refinements) modern paper plane was in 1909.[citation needed]
In recent years, paper model aircraft have gained great sophistication, Origami Heart Instructions and extremely high airline flight performance far removed from their origami origins, yet even origami aircraft have gained many new and exciting designs over the years, and gained much in conditions of trip performance.
In 1930 Jack Northrop (co-founder of Lockheed Corporation) used papers planes as test models for larger aircraft. Within Germany, during the Great Depression, designers at Heinkel and Junkers used paper models in order to establish basic performance and structural forms in important jobs, like the Heinkel 111 and Junkers 88 tactical bomber programmes.
The most significant use Bateau.en.papier Dans L'eau of paper models in aircraft designs were by the Wright brothers between 1899 and 1903, the date of the very first powered airline flight from Kill Devil Hillsides, by the Wright Hazard. The Wrights used a wind tunnel to gain knowledge of the makes which could be used to control an airplane in flight. They built numerous paper models, and tested them within their wind tunnel. By watching the forces produced by flexing the heavy papers models within the wind tunnel, the Wrights identified that control through airline flight Origami Star Easy surfaces by warping would be most effective, and in action identical to the later hinged aileron and elevator surfaces used today. Their paper models were very important in the process of moving on to progressively larger models, kites, gliders and eventually on to the powered Hazard (in conjunction with the development of lightweight gasoline engines). In this way, the paper model airplane remains a very important key in the graduating from model to manned heavier-than-air flight.
There were many design improvements, including velocity, raise, propulsion, style and fashion, over subsequent Mon Bateau De Papier Hugues Aufray years.
Prandtl was also relatively impulsive. I recall that on one occasion at an extremely dignified dinner meeting following a conference in Delft, Holland, my sister, who sat next to him or her at the table, questioned him something on the mechanics of flight. This individual started to explain; in the course of it he picked upward a paper menu and fashioned a little model airplane, without thinking where he was. It landed on the shirtfront of the French Minister of Education, much to the embarrassment of my sister while Origami Box Youtube others at the banquet.

Trust me they are more likely to bear in mind the special times you spent together making that special paper craft than they are going out there to Disneyland or something.
Paper crafts will give them a sense of achievement. Let them make something beautiful and let them enjoy your go with. I'm hoping you'll
For over a thousand years after this, paper aircraft were the dominant man-made heavier-than-air craft whose principles could be readily appreciated, though thanks to their high drag coefficients, not of an exceptional performance when gliding over long distances. The pioneers of run flight have all analyzed Comment Faire Un Avion En Papier Tuto paper model aircraft in order to create larger machines. Da Vinci wrote of the building of the model plane out of parchment, and of testing a number of his early ornithopter, an aircraft that flies by flapping wings, and parachute designs using paper models. Thereafter, Sir George Cayley explored the performance of paper gliders in the late 19th century. Other pioneers, such as Craigslist? ment Ader, Prof. Charles Langley, and Alberto Santos-Dumont often tested ideas with paper as well as balsa models to confirm (in scale) their theories before
putting them into practice.
The origin|The foundationairplane diagram is generally considered to be of Ancient Tiongkok, although there is equivalent evidence that the improvement and development of folded gliders happened in equal measure in Japan. Definitely, manufacture of paper on a widespread scale required place in China five-hundred BCE, and origami and paper folding became popular in just a century of this period, approximately 460-390 BCE. It is impossible to ascertain where and in what form the first paper aircraft were constructed, or even the first paper plane's form.
