Teaching and Community Work in Zanzibar

Cause Areas

It's flexible! We'll work with your schedule.

TanzaniaZanzibar, Zanzibar NATZ

The Project

Volunteer in Tanzania on a project based on the island of Zanzibar, located just off Africa's Tanzanian coast. The project works with a number of different institutions where you will be volunteering on a combination of different activities. Work with pre-schools, primary and secondary schools supporting local teachers in educating and playing with children as there are often too many children to accommodate at one time, and shortages of staff and facilities. You can also get involved with teaching not only English, but also computer and life skills to adults at the local tourism training institute, helping them get work. You may also have the chance to get involved with the local beach and marine conservation program. The focus of your project will depend on the time of year you visit and the school holidays, but there is plenty of work all year round.

Why the project needs you

Despite being one of the Indian Ocean's most renowned tropical paradises, Zanzibar's local communities are severely affected by unemployment and lack of education and training. There are many possibilities to impact the lives of those affected by these problems, by getting involved in the local nursery, primary and secondary schools, tourism training schools and local environmental programmes to aid community development. You will find that most of the facilities have meagre and ill-equipped facilities, but a wealth of children with a desire to learn. As a volunteer, you will assist teachers and contribute to our effort of providing children and adults with a better education, especially by aiding them in the English language.

Incredible Ocean Views! Less than 1 block from the ocean.

Space 5,000 sq. ft.
Property type house
Minimum Stay 5 - 7 nights

About the property

House, 5 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 4.5 Baths, (Sleeps 12)

Of all the lovely vacation homes on Kiawah Island this one stands out for three reasons: beach proximity, spectacular views, and a well-designed space for privacy and family/friend gatherings. This is one of the few locales on the island where you can see the Atlantic Ocean, the one-of-a-kind Ocean Course Golf course, and the always changing natural beauty of the marsh—all from the same expansive decks and floor length windows. The space accommodates families, and children from toddler to teenager. Guests often comment on the fact that they can curl up privately with a book or a beverage but also find many inviting places to gather groups (or everyone) together.

The first floor includes a comfortable sectional and ample seating for watching the new 75” 4K TV equipped with 4K disc player. The outdoor screened porch has a new built-in gas grill, tasteful eating area and access to the outdoor deck where you will find a gas fire-pit table for cooler nights and plenty of comfy seating. This level has two bedrooms (one with queen bed, one with two double beds), each with full bath and outdoor deck access, and a laundry room with top of the line laundry facilities and laundry tub. The sectional also has a foldout double bed.

The second floor has a fully- equipped and light-filled kitchen that will make you want to cook. Appliances include ice maker, six burner range, granite countertops and plenty of glassware, dishes, appliances, and cooking utensils for the casual cook or gourmet chef. The adjoining sitting area with three sofas and upholstered chairs was recently refurbished and is a great place for breakfast or gathering near the kitchen activity. The dining area is spacious and can seat 12 comfortably for family gatherings. An additional second floor living area has separate television viewing area (46” Smart LCD with Blu-ray player) and includes a wood-burning fireplace, bar with upholstered stools, and pool table providing ample spots for conversation, viewing, and games. The second-floor covered deck has a large outdoor dining table and numerous deck chairs for viewing the ocean, marsh or golf. The master suite has a queen bed, his and her baths, whirlpool tub, separate shower, and two walk-in closets.

The third floor includes a large bedroom and attached full bath, with one queen, one double, a day bed and trundle. The third floor sitting area includes a wood-burning fireplace and a hightop table for a bird’s eye view of marsh, ocean, and golf. Or you can sit on the third-floor deck on the comfortable furnishings in the evening and check out the golfers finishing their round or, after dark, admire the stars. An extra bedroom on the floor has one twin bed; the sitting area includes a fold-out twin so this floor can work for a single couple or a family.

The three floors are equipped with an elevator that takes your belongings and groceries from the garage directly to the proper floor. The entire house is equipped with Wi-Fi and interior boosters for the best possible signal. The interior sound system allows you to play Pandora, XM radio, or your own playlists on speakers separately controlled from each room. The circular drive allows for ample parking and the garage includes two fully equipped spacious showers with ceiling fans for washing down after a day at the beach.

The house appointments are top quality from our kitchen supplies to the linens, bedding, beach toys, chairs, and towels. The decor, artwork, and furnishings are comfortable and inviting. The ocean is a short walk away.

Guestbook comments from the manager

Thanks for your "Welcome Mat". Yes our travels went very smoothly both ways, and so did those of the rest of our family.

We all had a wonderful time in Kiawah again. This is about the 22nd year that we have been doing this, the first time in your beautiful and specious and comfortable home, where we enjoyed your beautiful collections of Oriental Rugs, a variety of interesting Art as well as various Antique Pieces of Furniture. The view of the Marsh and the nearby Ibis Pond with hundreds of Ibis and other birds as well as at least three alligators was a new experience, as in our previous visits, we stayed mostly along Surfsong Rd near the Ocean. The sun rises and sun sets from your "Beach House" were spectacular and we could also see the white caps on the ocean and the golfers on the Ocean Course. The weather was cooperative and we could go to the beach every day, as rain and thunderstorms would be early in the morning or in the evening and so did not interfere with our outdoor activities on the beach and riding bikes. We also saw several deer right around the house, in the marsh and other areas of the Island.

Thank you so much for sharing your Home with us. We can highly recommend it to any group of up to 12 people young and not so young as the three stories provide privacy and togetherness at the same time, with the elevator really being helpful for bringing in the luggage and groceries.

It was hard to say good by but we all enjoyed every moment while we were there.

Perfect family vacation home

  • 5 of 5

We're just back from a week's stay at this Kiawah Island home and we're already missing it. The location can't be beat - just a 5 minute walk to the beach and beach club, spectacular views of the ocean and marsh, peaceful and quiet road - and the layout is perfect for a large family, 2 or so families or several couples. The three bedrooms on the 1st and 2nd levels have ensuite bathrooms so they're perfect for adults and 2 the bedrooms and study on the 3rd level can easily accommodate 5-6 kids or another couple. The house is very clean and well furnished and provides ample common space to lounge in and a large open kitchen for gatherings. Penny and her team were super easy to work with and made sure that we had everything we needed while there. I can't recommend this house high enough!

Gorgeous home with awesome views and minute was to the beach

  • 5 of 5

This house has been our families favorite vacation spot for the last several years . It is only a couple of minutes walk to the beach with everything you possibly need for an enjoyable and relaxing vacation for the whole family. This house is spacious and has one of the best locations on Kiawah Island with outstanding views of the ocean as well as overlooking the famous Ocean Course. I would HIGHLY recommend this house to anyone looking for a family vacation house.

Best vacation ever!

  • 5 of 5

This home is amazing. We have used VRBO perhaps twelve or thirteen times over the past four years and this is, by far, the best rental experience we have ever had. Most VRBO rentals are good if they meet the expectations the owners' set in their highly buffed property descriptions. But, this rental far exceed the expectations we had set for us and did so by a gigantic margin. We went with our three adult daughter and one son-in-law. Everybody enjoyed themselves immensely and a big part of this week in Kiawah being such a success was this house.

The house is much more spacious than we imagined and the views are incredible. You get wonderful views of the march and pond in one direction and of the ocean in the other. The sunrises you see from the house are gorgeous and the wildlife you see in the marsh and pond area is bountiful. I loved staring out of the back of the house and did so quite a bit each day. Additionally, you have distant views of the famed Ocean Course golf course. This excited our son-in-law to no end as he is a fervent golfer and loved knowing that he was over looking a trophy course where both a Ryder Cup and PGA championship have been played.

The house's bedrooms are all large and really comfortably decorated. The downstairs media and living room is a great place to watch movies or sports on what must be an 80 or 90 inch big screen brand new HDTV set. The upstairs living room, family room, dining area and billiards room are all decorated in an elegant yet casual fashion. This made it feel as if we were staying at a very high end fashionable yet very comfortable retreat.

There is a great BBQ grill that we used twice during the week. The ocean and beach are only a 150 yds. away and we spent time every day riding our rental bikes on the beach which is hard packed and perfect for riding bikes.

In addition, the property manager we dealt with in renting the property was most responsive, helpful and very professional. She was one of the best property managers or owners we have dealt with in our years of VRBO renting.

Everyone in our family agreed that the house was wonderful and that when we head back to Kiawah on a family vacation the first place we will look into staying is this house.

The perfect spot

  • 5 of 5

This is the most wonderful vacation home. The location is breathtaking with spectacular views of the ocean and the marsh. The house is roomy and smartly furnished with the coziest furniture. We had 5 adults and 6 children and we enjoyed group cooking and dining every night. The kitchen is connected to a living room with multiple loveseats so everyone can comfortably relax together. We had two toddlers with us so the quick walk to the beach made it stress free and easy. The older children loved the pool table and the adults could not get enough of the balconies on every level. We will be back for sure

Christians aren’t supposed to know anything about this. But they do.

Revisiting the Adventure of Offshore Oil

It may seem that posts on this blog are slowing down, but elsewhere it’s another story.  There are actually four sites to this “family” and one of them,, is being moved to WordPress hosting.  (The other two, and Chet Aero Marine, were moved around the first of the year.)

Moving a site that large is a major task, especially with all the photos and documents.  It’s had to be done pieces; the piece that’s just been completed is Vulcan: the Offshore ExperienceMy brother said that it was the “experience of a lifetime,” and I’m inclined to agree with him.  There’s a lot of history in offshore oil, history that’s not well-known, and that was one of the reasons the series was first put up in 2003.  I want to focus on two aspects in particular: offshore oil as a form of “inner space” and how years in the industry is a cure for much of the conventional wisdom that plagues our “deep state” types and their hangers-on these days.

To its credit, the oil industry likes to recount its history.  There’s an entire museum in Galveston dedicated to the history of offshore oil, and it’s definitely worth the visit.  The involvement of my family business, Vulcan Iron Works, was primarily in the platform installation segment of the business, and for a long time it got the short shrift in the story.  That’s been remedied to some degree, and I think the contribution of the construction side of the industry is getting its due.

It’s easy, with all the really large coastal projects out there, to forget just what a challenge it was to fabricate and build platforms to extract oil offshore.  Onshore oil had advanced technologies such as deep drilling and geophysical exploration methods, and these had spin-offs in the construction industry.  But offshore, with conventional platforms sometimes exceeding 300 m in depth, it was necessary to develop advanced fabrication and installation techniques.  Without the benefits of directional/horizontal drilling and underwater completion, that meant lots of platforms to the surface, and the Gulf of Mexico–on both the American and Mexican sides, I might add–was a busy place in the 1960’s and 1970’s.  These projects helped to advanced the technology of construction in many ways which still benefit construction not only of large onshore and marine projects but also for offshore wind farms.

The Gulf, however, along with Southeast Asia and the Persian Gulf, were relatively easy places to build and install platforms compared to the North Sea.  The Europeans “drew the short straws” in finding oil in a place as challenging to do anything as the North Sea, especially in the area between Scotland and Norway where much of the oil was located.  But thanks to their lack of easily accessible onshore oil deposits (before fracking) and the unstable situation in the Middle East, they had little choice.  Facing a harsh environment coupled with a short construction season, another set of new technologies were developed or improved, including gravity platforms, improved safety equipment in marine environments, quick connectors for pile add-ons, finite element analysis for earth structures, and underwater pile driving.

Although most of these technologies are unfamiliar to most people, they contribute to the improved standard of living that many take for granted.  The outer space program contributed to the advance of general technology and science, and so did the “inner space” program of offshore oil.

Bringing up the Europeans leads one to consider the relationship of their governments to the enterprise.  Like most industries in the US, the oil industry operated in the legal framework with a minimum of government direction.  The Minerals Management Service was the chief agency of interest, but otherwise the enterprise was pretty much self-funded and directed.  When countries such as the UK, Norway and the Netherlands got involved, it was a different story.  We’d see their national exhibits at the Offshore Technology Conference, we’d wonder why this was necessary and sometimes thought their method was mad.

But there was method in their madness.  For one thing, as Dr. Adel Rizkalla of McDermott explained to my brother and me in 1980, their idea was to stretch out the extraction of oil and not only prevent overwhelming their economy with the revenue (something we’d soon learn the virtue of the hard way,) but also to offer benefits from that revenue for a longer time and for a great good to the country.  For another, their approach was part and parcel with the European concept of industrial policy.  Implicit in that approach is that the oil industry was of value to the country.  We’d soon find out that this was better than the alternative, a country whose ruling elites believed that the oil industry was an existential threat to them.

Vulcan 3100 hammer installing piles for Exxon’s Hondo platform off of Santa Barbara, California. In 1752 Bishop Erich Pontippidan noted that “The North Sea has a curious property. In addition to its salinity it also possesses oiliness. It is likely that here or there the sea, just as the earth, ejects oil flows, or streams of petroleum, naptha, sulphur, coal tar and other bituminous and oily juices.” Similar things were noted off of California, without the offshore drilling that is supposed to be the sole cause of this.

Offshore oil came into the big picture in the 1960’s, at the same time that the American left first let out the primal scream which has echoed down the halls of history to the present time.  They first tried to put the stall on the leasing process, an on-again, off-again process that only delayed the advance of offshore oil in Louisiana and Texas.  They did manage to keep it out of the rest of the East Coast and eventually got it shut down in California.  The environmental movement was a large part of that; as happened with manufacturing, the oil industry has had to improve its techniques to prevent environmental impact, and that’s another place where the North Sea experience was helpful.

But it was more than the environment that drove the left against the oil industry; it was their other pet peeve, suburbia.  Suburbia wouldn’t exist without oil, not only because of the automobile and commuting, but also because of the economic development that made suburbia possible.  The two were part of a fork that has stuck in the left’s craw for more than half a century, and as the left oozed its way into the nation’s intelligentsia, the potential for the oil industry to hit the wall in the US increased.

Not that there weren’t alternatives.  The most serious was nuclear power, which if it had been implemented on a relative scale to the French, could have solved most of the balance of payments problem and avoided the costly wars we’ve fought in the Middle East.  But that was (and is) unacceptable to most of the environmental community, and in any case would only perpetuate suburbia.

The left’s hope of high prices for a commodity in short supply–the shortness enhanced by their regulatory and legal efforts–never quite panned out; the oil and gas industry has proven more resilient than they thought.  And the forward march of technology, even in the industry’s lean years, has helped.  We got directional drilling and subsea completions, which reduced the cost of offshore oil.  But the biggest game changer has been fracking, which found the left “asleep at the switch” to stop.  It has shifted hydrocarbon based energy towards natural gas, at one time a “luxury” fuel, which is much cleaner to burn.  As a result the need for coal or offshore oil has been reduced, turning the U.S. to become a net fossil fuel energy producer for the first time since the days of the primal scream.

Offshore crews generally worked twelve hour on/twelve hour off for two weeks at a stretch. There was thus some idle time offshore; one favourite pastime was fishing. Derrick barge crews discovered what environmentalists hate to admit: offshore platforms are natural habitats for all kinds of fish and other marine life, which made for good fishing. Welding wire was a favourite type of fishing line, though other materials would get the job done too.

Today we find Europeans following the siren sound against nuclear power and fracking, leaving the wisdom of the past generation behind and embracing yet another American neurosis.  Many of the platforms which helped bring this oil out of the sea floor are being dismantled, their field lives ended; some are left as artificial reefs for fishing, another one of those unintended consequences.  Offshore oil isn’t what it used to be, but it set the stage for better things, and made life good when it was possible, and for that it should be remembered positively.

Another Good Reason Why They Filmed Lord of the Rings in New Zealand

It seems that it, too, is the residual of a sunken continent:

In a paper published in the Geological Society of America’s Journal GSA Today in February, researchers made the case that it should be considered a new continent.

They said it was a distinct geological entity that met all the criteria applied to Earth’s other continents, including elevation above the surrounding area, distinctive geology, a well-defined area and a crust much thicker than that found on the ocean floor.

Covering 1.9 million square miles, it extends from south of New Zealand northward to New Caledonia and west to the Kenn Plateau off Australia’s east.

Readers of The Silmarillion will recall that, after the First Age, most of the western land mass of Middle Earth sunk into the sea.  Places like the Grey Havens, a port for the departure of the Fellowship to the Undying Lands, were very landlocked in the First Age.

So, when Peter Jackson and his troupe were filming the Lord of the Rings, they too were closer to a sea coast then they would have been long ago…

New Series on STADYN Wave Equation Program

We’re starting a new series on the companion site about the STADYN wave equation program.  This may be a little arcane for most readers of this blog, so it will be over there.

The first installment, however, concerns using a very old language (FORTRAN 77) to generate HTML code, which of course appears on just about every web page out there that isn’t a pdf file.  So the interest may be a little more general…for now.

Prevention is Still the Best “Kill Switch” for Malware

A very ingenious solution to a very serious problem:

An “accidental hero” has halted the global spread of the WannaCry ransomware, reportedly by spending a few dollars on registering a domain name hidden in the malware.

The ransomware has wreaked havoc on organizations including FedEx and Telefonica, as well as the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), where operations were cancelled, x-rays, test results and patient records became unavailable and phones did not work.

However, a UK cybersecurity researcher tweeting as @malwaretechblog, with the help of Darien Huss from security firm Proofpoint, found and activated a “kill switch” in the malicious software.

But it’s important to note that Microsoft had released a patch against this malware back in March.  Microsoft, for all the jibes it takes from the digital community, has made updating its software just about as seamless as it can get.  And I haven’t run into the dreaded “this software worked until the update and then…” problem in a long time.  (I actually run Windows, MacOS and Linux on my various machines.)  Either the NHS’ admins didn’t have their machines set to automatically update or they’re still running XP and Vista.  As good of an operating system as XP is, it’s just too vulnerable to keep it online, especially in a network situation.

Lesson: make sure you’ve got your automatic updates working, in addition to the anti-virus software.  Backing up is also important, but with ransomware the hostage files can get into your backup system before you can stop it.

One more thing: the Guardian told us that the UK based researcher “spent a few dollars” registering the domain name.  Have some pride in your currency; “dropped a few quid” would have been better.  (Unless, of course, he was a Remain supporter and used Euros, or a Bitcoin fan…)

So What Will We Do When We Don’t Have to Think?

In this article about my friend Ethan Hereth, the following:

Like others before me, I have the perception that the education of quality engineers in the field of CFD has been falling short recently. It feels to me like there are very few engineers in this arena that grok CFD like many of the founding fathers and engineers of CFD did before us. I feel that the latest generations of CFD engineers have become used to applications that do much of the work, often shielding them from having to really understand the underlying concepts.

That perception has been around a long time.  Forty years ago when I was in the aerospace industry and working for Texas Instruments, I developed some software (had to write the code for it in this language) which automated some of our analysis work.  My boss was impressed with the results, but asked the question: what will happen when we just let the computer do all the work and we dummies just look at the results it spits out without knowing how they were produced?  My answer was that those of us working on the code know, but those who come after are the ones we have to be concerned about.

Well, as we used to say at Texas A&M, next year is here.  Most people who use technology today–and that includes some people in the STEM fields–have no clue how computers do their work, how the answers are arrived at, the theory behind their methods, or how easy it is for bugs (and security flaws) to get into the code that makes the software work.  The result is that, while the computer should make us smarter, the reality is the opposite effect.

The place where fixing that problem starts is in STEM education and the way we look at computers.  We need to get away from the accepted point of view of STEM education as people learning to push buttons in software they use, and we need to teach people how to code, even at the most elementary level.  One of my math professors observed that coding was a form of mathematical proof, and that in turn teaches you how to think.  But that skill is in short supply in our educational system, and if you think the results are not pretty now, just wait until “next year.”

Losing Our Edge in High Performance Computing?

Our Department of Energy and National Security Agency would like for you to believe this:

As China, the US and Japan near the finish line in exascale race, the DOE and NSA are sounding the alarm that the United States is at grave risk of losing its dominant position in high performance computing. According to the assessment of the two agencies, “absent aggressive action by the US – the US will lose leadership and not control its own future in HPC.”

That is the primary conclusion of a report based on a technical meeting between representative of those two agencies held in September 2016. The document, titled U.S. Leadership in High Performance Computing (HPC), A Report from the NSA-DOE Technical Meeting on High Performance Computing, describes how the United States has been losing ground to the Chinese, who appear to be determined not just to win the race to exascale, but to usurp the role of the US as the global leader in high performance computing technology.

But it’s not quite that simple:

As we recently wrote in an article about the state of Chinese supercomputing, they are not as advanced as their top systems would lead you to believe. In the US, there seems to be a distinct tendency to over-hype Chinese supercomputing achievements. Whether that is a reflection of a “grass is always greener” syndrome, is the result of losing supercomputing hegemony in a rapidly democratizing industry, is a tactic to draw in more US government investments into HPC, or is a legitimate analysis, remains to be determined.

HPC is an important part for scientific and technological advance.  Probably the US’ falling behind in this field has its greatest general interest in weather forecasting, as I discussed in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, where we have taken a back seat to the, er, Europeans for some time.  It’s interesting to note that the previous Occupant didn’t do much to change that situation, although he was labelled the “scientific President.”

That, of course, is part of the problem: we don’t elevate people with scientific backgrounds to leadership positions in the government. (The Chinese, and many others, do.)  That’s ingrained in our culture, and fortified by the distinctly Luddite 1960’s.  As long as that is the case, we will be forced to present our ideas as dogma and not science, which is what’s taking place in today’s “March for Science.”

Relative to that, there are other questions.  What’s unscientific about the Chinese (or anyone else) getting advanced capabilities?  Isn’t it reasonable to assume that the Chinese, who have pushed STEM education with their people to degrees unimaginable here, would get this result?  Or anyone else?  Why should we have a monopoly on this?  Why don’t some of our people just emigrate like theirs, if this place is so “unscientific?”  Perhaps the “March for Science” should be called the “March for Academic Patriotism,” although the rest of the campus would go bonkers if they did that.

The road to dominance in HPC is a long one, and not particularly straight.  It’s like my description of the arc of justice: it is not necessarily smooth, continuous, or differentiable.  For a field which is all about binary thinking, the results of change can be complex and have unexpected outcomes.  But if we spent as much time inducing significant systemic changes in our own system and not constantly playing the “blame and shame” game, we’d be further down the road to solve our HPC “fading glory” problem.

HT Pointwise.

An Anglican Divine Gets the Point

Growing up at Bethesda-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church was my first exposure for the rector to have an earned doctorate.     That exposure came from Hunsdon Cary, who “oversaw” the beginning of the Church Mouse resale shop and whose relatives got the property boot from Jon Bruno.  This has generally not been the case with the churches I have haunted since that time.

St. Michael’s Church, a charismatic Anglican church in Chattanooga, TN, is graced with the Rev. Dr. C. Bruce Hilbert as a permanent deacon.  Recently Pointwise, a firm in Dallas that specialises in grid generation, featured Bruce on their blog as a user of their software, and congratulations are in order.

But that in turn brings up another point: Bruce’s doctorate is in Computational Engineering, the same as mine.  For those of you who are getting nervous about stuff like this, it’s a relief.  Bruce is one of those Anglican divines who gets the point in every sense of the word, because we all know what happens when church becomes pointless.

What College Used to Look Like, and a History of Tau Beta Pi

What a “college man” used to look like, in this case my grandfather, C.H. Warrington, who is at the right. He started out at the University of Illinois but ended up at Lehigh, where he graduated with a Civil Engineering degree in 1912. (It was another eighty-five years before a member of the family would obtain another civil engineering degree.)

Lehigh is best remembered in engineering academia as the birthplace of Tau Beta Pi, the premier engineering honour fraternity, and gave the fraternity its seal brown and white colours. However, my grandfather wasn’t the Tau Beta Pi type, let alone a member; he was more comfortable with what was referred to as the “Gentlemen’s C.” My experience teaching has informed me that the Gentlemen’s C is very much alive and well in engineering!

Tau Beta Pi

Speaking of engineering’s premier honour fraternity, below is an account of the founding of Tau Beta Pi, from the 1912 Epitome, Lehigh’s yearbook (pp. 199-200):

THERE exist in the college world three well-known societies, membership in which signifies college honor, in the manifestation of high scholarship. They are Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi and Tau Beta Pi. The first of these finds its membership in the men pursuing literature and the arts. The second selects its men from those who have shown distinction in the sciences and who have performed some research work. The last, Tau Beta Pi, of which we write, enrolls the honor men in engineering courses. Of the three Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest, having been founded in 1776, while the dates of founding of the other two were separated by only one year-Tau Beta Pi, 1885, and Sigma Xi, 1886. The existence of Tau Beta Pi is owed to Prof. Edward H. Williams, Jr., an alumnus of Yale and of Lehigh where he became Professor of Mining Engineering and Geology. The motives leading to and the circumstances attending the formation of this society are interesting and worthy of record in a book of this nature.

As valedictorian of the class of 1875 at Lehigh, Prof. Williams had been elected an honorary member of the Sigma (New York) chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, and was anxious for the establishment of a chapter of that society here. There were, however, two obstacles standing in the way, first, the fact that the council, in whose hands the granting of charters lay, met only once in six years, and, second, the strong objection in Phi Beta Kappa against the admission of technical men into its membership. Owing to the highly technical character of Lehigh’s courses the likelihood of an establishment of a chapter here was very slight and even with a charter granted the membership would be confined to a very small number.

Prof. Williams was aware of the necessity for the recognition of a man’s ability other than the diploma which he received, and further that the recognition should be given while the man was still at college, and not as he was just passing out through her portals. The attitude which some men had towards a diploma can best be shown by the following incident: As the valedictorian of one of the ’80 classes came from the stage after graduation Prof. Williams congratulated him, to which he received the reply” …… ‘s got one too.” The fellow in question had flunked every examination in his four years of college. There was no limit to re-examinations in those days and he had taken enough until he had passed.

These were the motives leading to the formation of the society. The details of organization are briefly given as follows: Prof. Williams’ conception of the society was that its membership should be taken from those men whose grades showed them to be in the first quarter of the class. Their rating must be above 75% and they must have no conditions. In practice this was to work as follows: At the end of their Junior year the men standing in the first eighth of their class became eligible for election and at the beginning of the Senior year the first quarter of the class became eligible. The election of these men, however, was not to be on the basis of scholarship alone but in addition the men must possess high morals, qualities of good fellowship, and manifest a healthy interest and rational participation in college activities.

To start such a society so that election into it would be sought and so that its .establishment would be firm and give promise of vigorous growth was a matter requiring much careful work. How this was accomplished is best told in Prof. Williams’ own words, and we quote from a letter from him on the subject, giving the Editor of the EPITOME this information on request.

” …… Now, too many cooks spoil the broth of society building; so I decided to take nobody into my confidence. I knew what I wanted and I went to work alone.

“I first drew up a constitution and provided for granting new chapters, for an executive council, and for alumni advisers to act as a balance wheel to keep things going in line, and I made it hard to amend this instrument. I then drew up By-laws for Lehigh.

“Next, there must be a body of alumni behind the affair before the first undergraduate was let in. I delivered the valedictory for ’75 and so was eligible to the society. I took the old faculty records and calculated the standing of every man who graduated, during his four years; drew up a list of the men in the order of their stand. They must be in the first fourth of the class and also have a general average of 75. Having the eligible men of the past, I had Edwin G. Klose, of the Moravian Book Concern, buy a series of special fonts of type, which are now in the possession of the society, a lot of electrotypes of the society key, and some other matter and print a lot of diplomas. . ….. I signed them as secretary, to which office I elected myself. The answers I received from the boys were refreshing. One valedictorian said he would value it more than his diploma.

“Then I had my friend Newman, of John St., New York, file out a society key, to see how the thing looked. Then I was ready for the undergraduates. I went slowly, however, and it was May, 1885, before I told Irving A. Heikes, the best man in ’85, to stop after recitation, one morning, and asked him if he would like to be the first undergraduate to join a society. He wanted to think it over, and finally said ‘Yes,’ so I initiated him. He took post-graduate work, I think, and in the fall he and Professor Meaker, who helped me initiate the classes for several years, and Duncan, ’80, initiated the men from ’86 and the Wilbur man from ’87.

“For several years I was elected president of the society and directed the body till it began to have a good number of alumni and many representatives in the Faculty. It took like hot cakes and soon its elections were looked for. “I wanted to have Tau Beta Pi in full blast before Phi Beta Kappa came, as it would not then be looked upon as an imitation by a lot of men who could not get into the latter. In deference to the general tradition I limited the membership in Phi Beta Kappa to students in the liberal courses, and I had the charter given to a council of a few graduate members, Mr. Kitchel, Albert G. Rau, myself and a few others.

“This is the way Tau Beta Pi came to Lehigh. It was the culmination of a lot of work covering four years. I could not give as much time to it as I wanted, owing to the growth of my department. Breckenridge was elected an honorary member. Heck became president and a ‘member of the advisory board, and then it began to form chapters outside. While the founding is wholly my own unassisted work, the spread is due to others …….. “

In June, 1910, the society had a membership of 3680 divided among 24 flourishing chapters, located at institutions of acknowledged leadership in the instruction of engineering. The twenty-fifth anniversary was celebrated here at Lehigh last June and the attendance and enthusiasm in connection with the convention gave every evidence of the solidity and prestige of Tau Beta Pi.

Ambient OS guide: Everything you need to know about the new name in smart homes

Essential's key to 'activating' your home
The essential Ambient OS guide

The Amazon Echo kinda came out of nowhere but now we're seeing rivals almost every week. When Andy Rubin – you know, the guy who sold Android to Google then ran it for nearly a decade – comes out with a voice controlled smart home hub, though, you listen.

The Essential Home is a circular smart home device that has a touchscreen as well as voice activation – the images so far suggest it can either sit on a surface or be mounted on a wall. The company says the device can "activate" your home, acting as an "API" that pulls together everything in your house.

Read this: Your guide to the Cortana powered smart home

All of that is powered by Essential's Ambient OS. While details on Ambient OS are scarce at this point, we do know that it's half OS, half smart home platform and all sorts of intriguing. Here's what you need to know.

What Ambient OS can do

Everything you need to know about Essential's smart home-powering Ambient OS

At first blush, a good deal of what Ambient OS does will be familiar to smart home assistant aficionados. You can use your voice to control your smart home devices, or play some music, or set timers, or even ask questions. All of those things aren't just audio-based though, they use the Essential Home's big, circular screen to give you a little more information. So it can do things like display a map when reminding you that you've got to scoot to your meeting because traffic is getting bad.

However, what sets Ambient OS apart from other smart home assistants is that it's basically IFTTT on steroids. As Essential puts it, Ambient OS lets you "create applications" that connect devices together. For instance, you can have your living room lights go off when your timer counts down.

What sets this system apart from IFTTT is that all of this is done on the Essential Home itself, and it can suggest ways for your devices to talk to each other. That's because Ambient OS, and Essential Home by extension, can understand the physical layout of your home, the people in your home and the devices and services they use. It wants to talk to all of them, and pool them together to create a smart home experience.

Everything you need to know about Essential's smart home-powering Ambient OS

This allows Ambient OS to anticipate what you need and suggest solutions. Essential, by the way, is adamant that Ambient OS's suggestions are suggestions, and doesn't want its smart home platform to come across as intrusive or pushy. Also, this means that Ambient OS understands your daily routines and can sense when things are off or when something in your home isn't functioning as it should.

You probably expected being able to tap the screen or speak to Essential Home to activate many of its abilities, but you'll also be able to "glance" at it to start it up. That's right, you can apparently stare down your Essential Home to get it to do things. It's not yet totally clear how this is possible – whether there's a camera or sensor on the device that we don't yet know about – but Essential says it's possible.

Essential Home will also be able to use Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant, according to Rubin. Or, well, he wants Home and Ambient OS to use all of them, plus Ambient OS's assistant, because he believes customers don't want to be forced into using one assistant. It's unlikely the three of those assistants will come baked into Ambient OS, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Essential Home let you use them through some Bluetooth-based setup with your phone.

All about privacy

A central smart home system that completely understands the people and devices in your home and can intelligently link things together is certainly cool, but it's also terrifying to hand over that much information to a company. Thus far, Essential is promising a heavy emphasis on privacy.

Ambient OS is designed to do most of its computational work on the hardware itself, rather than pinging the cloud (like for a web search). That doesn't mean it'll never talk to the cloud – sometimes it will have to – but it'll try to do as much as it can on the hardware. Similarly, when it talks to other devices in your home, it'll talk to them via your in-home network.

The smart assistant will also process much of its logic on the device, rather than asking a big server. That's typically how Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant work. This makes it feel like Essential Home is running some serious power under the hood, as it's not relying on a more powerful server to do its dirty work.

Open source

Everything you need to know about Essential's smart home-powering Ambient OS

Are you surprised that the co-founder of Android has a new operating system that's open source? Because you shouldn't be. For Essential Home to be any kind of success, it needs companies to be able to easily hop on board with what it's doing.

That's why Essential has made Ambient OS open source. In fact, Rubin told Recode that Ambient OS will follow the same development and deployment strategy as Android. That means a couple of things. First, it means that anyone can easily get started developing for the platform. Second, it means that anyone could come along and fork Ambient OS into something else for other hardware devices, just like Amazon did with Android for its Kindle Fire tablets.

It's not quite clear whether Essential has some kind of hardware strategy with third-party manufacturers to develop their own Ambient OS systems. Regardless, Rubin says the company already has a plan for keeping Ambient OS updated should other companies come along and make their own version for their own device. However, Rubin declined to state said plan.

Price and release date

Well, we don't know. Rubin says the company has no planned release date for Home and Ambient OS. Essential says it'll update its website with more information the closer we get to the launch of the device but – again – we have no clue when that could be.

That doesn't stop us from guessing though. Essential's flagship product, the Phone, will launch in July. It's likely that the company's attention will fully turn toward Essential Home and Ambient OS once the Phone is all squared away and released. Other than that though, we've got bupkis.

Well, this was probably inevitable:

That dispatch came Saturday morning from the official Twitter account of a deputy White House press secretary.

Anchor, traffic light. Traffic light, traffic light. Traffic light, anchor. Maps and castles, planes and boats. And almost dead center in the middle of the message: an ancient and pale stone face of Easter Island.

What does it mean? Does it mean anything? Does deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders’s Twitter account speak for the White House when it says in pictures, “Shinto shrine, derelict house,” as presumably it spoke for Trump some days earlier when it quoted him: “We will buy American and we will hire American”?

Hold on; let’s get some perspective.

Did you know it was just seven years ago that President Barack Obama issued the first-ever tweet from a president of the United States? He was visiting a Red Cross disaster operation center. The tweet was written in third person and said: “President Obama and the First Lady are here visiting our disaster operation center right now.”

Yes, it was a very safe tweet. Reuters reported that someone else probably wrote it out on a Red Cross device, and the president then pushed send, and the Red Cross then confirmed that it was a real tweet from the real president, who would not get access to his own Twitter account for another five years.

And here we are today, under a new presidency, when official statements, notions, half-notions, boasts, rants, typos, contradictions and legally problematic declarations run together in a never-ending tweet stream that flows from the president’s frontal lobe and all the aides and offices he controls directly down to the body politic: instant, unfiltered and often unexplained.

So — many naturally wondered Saturday at the meaning of Sanders’s “anchor, traffic light, traffic light, [etc.].”

But bafflement at a White House communication is nothing new by now.

Covfefe? The White House press secretary insisted it was not the mangled end of Trump’s malformed tweet, but rather a real word — and “a small group of people know exactly what he meant.” And who can argue with the White House about what the president meant to say?

How about “n9y25ahy7?” That one was anyone’s guess when Spicer tweeted it himself a few days into the Trump administration — an apparent follow up to “Aqenbpuu” two days earlier.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer and deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders both lead press briefings on behalf of the president — but the two have some pretty big stylistic differences. (Peter Stevenson/The Washington Post)

A password errantly sent into the public sphere, perhaps, some thought. Perhaps not. “Ever heard of a pocket tweet?” one of Spicer’s deputies later clarified for The Washington Post — just short of an official explanation.

And now another Spicer deputy, Sanders, has sent what looked at first glance like her own pocket tweet. Or maybe a clever message. Or who knows? In the ensuing hours of digital silence that followed Saturday’s dispatch, the world was left to wonder.

And then, as does not always happen in such cases, an answer appeared:

Ah, so if the tweet has any meaning, it lies in the mind of a toddler. And that 3-year-old does not speak for Trump, or even Trump’s surrogate, his mom.

But here’s the thing about that great channel of communication that Trump opened between his White House and the world: It runs both ways.

So when a cryptic pictogram is sent into the world without apparent meaning, the world is apt to assign its own significance, and send the message right back to the White House.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, right, meets with then-President-elect Trump in November 2016. Trump named Kobach the vice chairman of his voter-fraud commission, headed by Vice President Pence. (Carolyn Kaster/Assciciated Press)

STANDING UP to racism and intolerance is a moral imperative, and those who do, like Heather Heyer, the young woman who died as she challenged the thugs in Charlottesville last Saturday, are champions of American principles. In an era when so many bedrock values are under attack, it’s important to think strategically and prioritize the ones worth fighting for.

An exemplar of such strategic thinking, Martin Luther King Jr., fought on multiple fronts but prioritized one in particular: voting rights. Today, as in the 1960s, that same fight makes sense. For in this new civil rights era, voting rights for broad swaths of Americans — minorities, the young and the old — are again imperiled and under attack.

Many Confederate statues, which memorialize a murderous act of treason on an epic scale in defense of an inhumane institution, deserve to come down or at least be repurposed as museum pieces. Many were erected not just as historical remembrances but as retrograde political statements, mainly in the early 20th century as Jim Crow laws formally codified racism in the South, and in the 1950s and ’60s as a thumb in the eye of the civil rights movement.

Yet even if all 1,500 Confederate symbols across the country were removed overnight by some sudden supernatural force, the pernicious crusade to roll back voting rights would continue apace, with voters of color suffering its effects disproportionately. Pushing back hard against those who would purge voter rolls, demand forms of voter ID that many Americans don’t possess, and limit times and venues for voting — this should be a paramount cause for the Trump era.

In statehouse after statehouse where Republicans hold majorities, the playbook is well established, and the tactics are becoming increasingly aggressive.

Mr. Trump’s voter fraud commission is at the vanguard of this crusade, and the fix is in. Its vice chairman, Kris Kobach, is the nation’s most determined, litigious and resourceful champion of voter suppression. Under his tutelage, the commission is likely to recommend measures whose effect will be that new obstacles to voting would be taken up in state legislatures. Millions of voters are at risk of disenfranchisement from this effort, and the knock-on effects of such a mass act of disempowerment are dizzying.

The events in Charlottesville and the president’s apologia for the right-wing extremists there should mobilize anyone passionate about civil rights. There would be no better target for their energies than the clear and present danger to the most fundamental right in any democracy: the vote.

The chicest way to give back during Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Need we even have to say it? Breast cancer sucks. That’s why the entire month of October is devoted to spreading awareness—and fighting—the disease that’s affected 3 million survivors in the US alone.

But that’s not just a statistic. Behind the numbers, there are countless crazy-inspirational and heartwarming stories from real women who have battled the disease. And this year, Bloomingdale’s is sharing a few—from its own employees.

Watch the video above to hear directly from the survivors themselves, who illustrate that cancer doesn’t only affect one generation. From the totally uplifting (“I kicked cancer’s ass”), to the defiantly fierce (“Cancer hasn’t defined me”) the minute-long clip is a must-see for all the emotional feels.

So, how can you contribute? By stocking up on super cute jeans, those printed leggings you’ve been eyeing, and basically everything you need for fall (for real).

Now through October 31, Bloomingdale’s is launching the Give Pink, Get More campaign to fund breast-cancer research, support, and awareness. Donate $15 by charging it to your Bloomingdale’s card (100 percent of which goes to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation®, The Carey Foundation, and the Marisa Acocella Marchetto Foundation), and start beefing up your fall wardrobe: you’ll get $25 back for every $250 you spend.

Once you rack up your haul, you’ll be mailed your Give Pink, Get More gift card (worth up to $250) with all your savings, just in time to knock out your holiday shopping in December.

Donald Robertson BCA Sweatshirt - Bloomingdale's%5B1%5D

One thing you might want to pick up? The graphic sweatshirt above, designed by buzzy artist Donald Robertson to support Bloomingdale’s campaign. Besides being the perfect thing to throw on before your morning spin class, $15 of your purchase will go to breast-cancer research (find it online or in stores starting today).

All of the Angelini Group’s agricultural and wine production activities have been brought together in order to develop an innovative project

 As from the 1st January 2014, Tenimenti Angelini, the branch of that Group’s business relating to its agricultural activities in the Marche and its wine production operations in Tuscany, has been transferred to Cav. G.B. Bertani. On that date, Cav. G.B.Bertani changed its company name to Bertani Domains srl, whilst maintaining its headquarters at Grezzana.

The new BERTANI DOMAINS group consists of Cav. G.B. Bertani at Grezzana, Tenuta Novare at Negrar (VR), Puiatti Vigneti at Romans d’Isonzo (GO), Val di Suga at Montalcino (SI), Tre Rose at Montepulciano (SI), San Leonino at Castellina in Chianti (SI) and Collepaglia at Jesi (AN). It owns 500 hectares of land, 350 of which are under vine, in the zones for Amarone, Brunello di Montalcino and Nobile di Montepulciano and there are also 1,000 hectares of agricultural terrain in the Marche. Overall, in 2013, the above companies produced and distributed 3 million bottles for a turnover of 20 million Euro.

With the creation of Bertani Domains, a group has been formed that will establish a new position in the panorama of Italian and international wine producers, with the goal of charting, over the next few years, a wide-ranging course for growth.

The decision to extend the Bertani name to the entire group stems from an awareness of the degree to which this name has a strong symbolic value for consumers and for the marketplace in general.

Indeed, for the wine sector,  Bertani is not only a prestigious and historic Veronese producer, but also represents a particular philosophy, an uncompromising style that translates itself into products that reflect wholeheartedly the characteristics of their terroir and the special qualities of their grape varieties.

Extending the Bertani approach to the entire group therefore represents a great opportunity thanks to the long experience of a brand that is highly recognizable and appreciated by markets worldwide. Nonetheless, the independence and distinctive characteristics of the individual producers will remain intact.

Bertani’s approach to wine production – which, because of its rigorous belief in terroir, is often described as “French-style” – will be combined, therefore, with the know-how and identity of each of the estates.

The care and precision that have always been characteristics of Bertani will therefore now make their way into new high-quality wine regions and companies, which have their own individuality but will henceforth be united under the name Bertani as a guarantee of quality and consistency of production.

The name “Bertani Domains” therefore refers to a winemaking philosophy of international scope, but also one with the objective of offering a new wine production model for Italy: “The prestige and profound quality symbolized by the name Bertani”, explains Emilio Pedron, Managing Director of the group, “steered us quite naturally towards the idea of extending this name at a corporate level. This decision undoubtedly represents an opportunity for greater recognisability and popularity on international markets, but also underlines the sense of responsibility of a highly-reputed company that will not accept commercial shortcuts or compromise on quality. The individual Estates will nevertheless maintain their independence and individuality and the products will continue to be identified with the various Bertani, Val di Suga, Tre Rose, San Leonino, Collepaglia and Puiatti brands as they now appear on the label”.

The new group, characterized by a structure that is modern, pragmatic and anything but cumbersome, will have a unified research and communication centre, aimed at developing a new wine culture. It will adopt innovative viticultural methods, in line with progress linked to climate change and to the desire to guarantee varietal purity and environmental, economic and social sustainability. Great attention will be paid to human resources, with the intention of favouring young people. Moreover, the new company model will be characterized by modern communication practices, in line with the new styles and instruments for providing information.
