How to hook up a solar cell, charge controller, battery, several LEDs

Thread Starter

Joined Apr 29, 2016
I am working on an art project and I would like to create a simple solar driven lighting system. I have two six inch square panels and batteries salvaged from security lights. The two batteries are 6v 5.5 Ah. I have no other parts. I would like to light up 3 LEDs. I will wire in a light sensing switch and ideally the light is bright and long lasting.

Help with part selection and schematics

I am a blacksmith with lots of experience making things but not much with simple electronics. I am eager to learn! Thank you.

The good news is that you should have plenty of panel area for just 3 LEDs. But you didn't say how long you need to light them, versus how long they see sunlight.

Frankly if I was doing this, and depending on what you need, I'd hack one of those cheap solar lights you can get. A 6V battery is likely too much for one, but on the other hand it already has all the functions you need built in.

Do you know anything about your panels? They are often described by the open circuit (no load) voltage and the short circuit current. They are probably adequate for charging a 6V battery, and all you need is a diode to block reverse current. That might be already built into the panels. What type of batteries do you have (lead acid, NiCad, etc.)?

Hello Wayneh,

Thanks for responding.

The batteries are lead acid and came with the solar panels. Otherwise there are no markings on the panels. I took the panel housing apart and there is no diode present. I will definitely get 4-5 hours of direct sunlight for charging.

I would like my system to light up for 8 hours. Preferably with bright lights. I would rather learn how to do this rather then disassemble an off the shelf system so I have more control over what I am working with.

Okay, well that means you need a light sensor circuit to produce the on/off function.

Otherwise I believe you can get away with just a blocking diode between the panel and the battery. No fancy charge controller needed. Another option would be a shunt circuit to dump excess solar energy when the battery voltage is high enough. I can find that for you if you're interested. Use a Schottky type to minimize the voltage drop (and power loss) at the diode. The security lights, if you still have them, would likely have had the proper diodes in them somewhere. But anyway they are cheap and easy to find.

There are tons of options for the light sensor switch circuit. I tend to use comparators for everything but I think you can get an even lower power option. Seems I've seen one here recently - I'll look around. Maybe someone else can chime in if they recall a low-power light sensor switch.

I have recently built a LED lamp using a 5Ah lithium battery, a voltage booster, 2x 3W COB LEDs,
and a steel lid from a storage tin.

The booster module is a MT3608 module.

LEDs are attached with no more nails compound, a generic variant.
I have previously done tests with very hot LEDs but these dont get hot.

The voltage is adjusted so the cooler doesnt heat up too much.

Note batteries dont like deep discharge, though sealed batteries will survive it.
Especially when they are recharged with high current, in fact they will loose capacity.
First low current charging is required.

Using a wifi speaker globe as diffuser the whole room is illuminated.

Actually I can not say if the MT3608 modules are good for 6V.

I tried with 12V battery and about 7 or 8 pcs were destroyed. Even after eliminating all ground loops, the chips were keep popping. I think only when the output voltage is 19v. When it is 12v same as input nothing happens.

So I changed my LED circuits for the ant farm. I made a bridge, installed switches.

I can power the booster either from 12V PC supply or the battery.
Then the big red LED can be switched off.
The white 10W chips are driven at 2 volts less to have longer battery life.
Additional buck converter.

I have some experience with deep discharging a lead battery. Its a sealed 12v 20Ah battery.
Electronic charger so it freaks on a flat empty battery. Now I can bridge to 12v from PC! But never tried so far.

For instance lithium charger modules some of them have deep discharge protection.
You should have this to prolong battery life.
I want to build deep discharge protection, just didnt find any time so far.

Hello all,
I think it will be better if you buy it from store, But you have already the equipment. So I have 1 suggestion that you have to gain some knowledge about the connections & the equipment. Recently I have bought a solar panel from solar galore & i had the same problem,so I called a electrician & connected it.

Change color of elements depending on distance from crane

My self and a colleague have been tasked with coming up with a way of using dynamo to colour elements depending on the distance they are away from a model of a crane. We are currently in the process of coming up with ideas as to what is the best way to go about this…

The outcome would need to be a all the element are different collars depending on their distance from the crane e.g. if it was<= 20m - element would be blue, if the element was 21m to 30m the element would be red etc…

The distances would need to be variables as they would change with crane to crane…

Has anyone done anything similar? or does anyone have any ideas about the best way to produce this in dynamo?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance!!

That’s not incredibly difficult to do. If you look at the example files there is one called Core Attractor that can help you get started.

I have seen something similar, perhaps from julienbenoit

File: crane.dyn

Revit file: Crane.rvt

Thanks for the advice and examples files… massive help! cheers!

Vikram Subbaiah,

is there away we could edit it so that the distances dont need to be uniform e.g. 0-49m red, 49.1 to 60 Blue,60.1 to 70 Green? ( collors dont mater, they are just examples!)

Cheers

Tom, You could set the value of Crane Distance Increment to 10000 (or 10, if the Revit units are in m)

You will get lists of elements grouped as {0-10, 10-20,20-30,30-40,40-50,50-60…)

Before coloring you could combine the first five .

A few other alterations might need to be made, but that may be a better approach.

I’ll try to get back to it later and see if I can provide a more flexible approach.

it works fine with your model. however when iuse it in one of our models i get the following error …

Warning: StructuralFraming.get_Location operation failed.
The location of the structural element is not a valid curve.

Any ideas?

Try substituting the first line in the code block with this…

However, doing this will result in the script taking longer to execute.

This works well, thank you for your help much apreciated!!!

is it posible to use the ‘select elements’ node? rarther than pick the family type. i have tried and keep getting the following area …

Warning: Asked to convert non-convertible types
Internal error, please report: Dereferencing a non-pointer. (3f47aacd)

it would also be good if you could manualy set the colors depending on the distance, would this be possible?

As Select Model Elements doesn’t seem to have an option to edit (add/remove) the selected elements, ensure that only 3D geometry that you want to select is visible in the view.

I suspect the error is due to some 2D elements being selected.

Here is a file in which you can specify the colors. But you’ll need to ensure that your list of colors is long enough. The longer the better. I’ve created a list of 10 colors in the attached sample.

File: crane.dyn

A variation of the above with a legend…

File: crane.dyn

Your help has been great thanks…

Do you know what the following warning might mean?

Warning: No function called Centroid on a Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry.Line that takes __array could be found

List.DropItems operation failed.

Thanks in adavance

Value cannot be null.

That error is mostly because you have included some 2D geometry (lines) in your selection.

It may be a good idea to clean up the view by ensuring that only the 3D elements you intend to select are visible.

However, the below version just might work even if you include some 2D elements.

File: crane.dyn

That did the trick thank you… it works great, one last thing is it posible the make the range always start at zero? the range seems to be starting at the closest element to zero rarther than zero.

Change these two lines under Legend (remove ,1)

The numbers though are relative to the position of the crane from the elements.

You can control the intervals, but the start distance depends on the position of the crane.

Thanks for your help with this,
on a couple of occasions items that are the same distance from the crane but on different floors are coming through as different colours. do you know why this might be happening

This should solve that problem

File: crane.dyn

Interesting topic.

What if there were 2 or more cranes?

Maybe as an addition on this topic:
What if you want to show the max. weight of an element against the max reach of a crane??
That would be an interesting thing to show.

1 Like

This would be very good…

Im using it on a tower crane so the max lifting load changes depending on the distace from the centre of the crane, but if it is possible that would be good.

Actually, the version in which elements on different floors were colored differently, had distances measured from the center of the vertical axis of the crane :slight_smile:

The latest version has distances measured from the central vertical axis.

In any case, the maximum load bit can be accommodated. Should be quite easy, if I haven’t misunderstood the idea.

Forums Western Europe United Kingdom Imported GPX Routes.

This topic contains 6 replies, has 6 voice, and was last updated by Ben (HERE Moderator) 2 weeks ago
  • Steve M

    Here WeGo brilliant for general GPS mapping. I signed up for the beta to enable other forms of transport (bicycle) but it seems the Android app has subsequently reverted back to the standard one.

    I was also excited to find that I could upload a GPX route into HERE Map Creator (GraphHopper routes fantastic for cyclist to avoid main roads, unlike HERE routes). I had hoped that by doing so I could log on Here WeGo and find my route as a favourite. Sadly it was not to be.

    How can I get a GPX route loaded into My Geospace into Here WeGo? Once there, hopefully Here WeGo will be able to follow it and give turn-by-turn directions.

    I am finding it very difficult to do this in any app. It will be fantastic to be able to do it with Here WeGo.

    Many thanks.

    Claire Robinson

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks a lot for your post and comments.
    You are correct unfortunately at the moment you are unable to do this as currently the two Apps are not connected but we’re hoping later on this year or at some point in the future that this would be possible!
    Thanks again for using HERE maps and Apps 🙂

    Eric Knaapen

    Hi Claire, is it possible to import .gpx routes in Here wego?

    Ben (HERE Moderator)

    Hi Eric,

    You can indeed by clicking on ‘Your Geospace’ on bottom of the left hand menu. Currently GeoJson, KML, GPX, Shapefile or CSV formats can be uploaded.

    If you load a GPX file, it will be shared with the community.

    Hi Ben,

    Unfortunately nothing shows on my left hand menu in my Android app. Im running a Danish version. Could that be an explanation?

    Hi Ann and Ben, so I’m using the Dutch version, but I can’t find it either where my uploaded GPX route is after uploading it to ‘my geospace’. So where can I find my own uploaded route in the app (android)?

    Ben (HERE Moderator)

    Hi Ann and Nick

    Sorry in my original post i should have stated that gpx uploads are only available currently on the web version (desktop) at,-0.1272,10,normal

    Nick – this is currently only on desktop. I have reported this to our development team as a future improvement.

Horizontal scanline distorsion/refresh in distant textures.

RCHelizRCHeliz Posts: 4
edited June 2019 in Oculus Rift S and Rift

I just got a Rift S, and I’m noticing refresh/judder of the horizontal scan lines especially when moving my head, more prominent on further/distant textures.

This is not a defect but more like an LCD refresh thing. Its hard to explain, look at a texture that is more distant and move your head slightly and pay attention to the symmetry of the fine horizontal scan lines, are you noticing they roll a bit like a refresh loosing their symmetry? Like noise or instability of those fine scan lines. If I stop moving they become stable/symmetric again. It is easier to spot on gray textures.

This is driving me nuts as I notice them, maybe Im sensitive to this. OLED does not have this manifestation and screen door(scan lines) effect is perfectly stable with OLED displays.

Can any of you look and confirm this? I noticed this same effect on some console LCD screens that were tuned to a certain frequency where some exhibited this and other identical units did not.

To replicate this:
Just look at a distant texture and tilt your head left/right notice there are juddering of the horizontal scan lines almost as if they double briefly then stop when you stop moving your head.

Do all Rift S exhibit this behavior? or some have their LCD’s refresh tunned differently, for me it is very distracting presenting as noise or distorsion of the fine horizontal lines...

I would greatly appreciate anyone/everyone that can test this or Oculus tech input.

  • srbryansrbryan Posts: 2
    Yes, I believe I am having the same issue. I believe this is where my issue is with the nausea. I have zero problems with nausea on my Rift but the S I just got is giving me problems with multiple games that I have tried. I adjusted it to "performance" over "quality" but it doesn't seem to fair any better. I really hope that there is something that I can do to mitigate the "chopping" on the screen because I really do love the new S features.
    I have the same problem, horizontal lines, like a bad refresh rate. Is this normal, or is a problem?

    Sorry for my english.

Hows he feel help with cards please

  • I was out clubbin couple of weeks ago, and ended up shovin my tounge down a boys throat on his birthday, i thought nothing of it untill the next day he added me on facebook, we have been in touch for a couple of weeks and haven't gone a day without texting, I saw him the weekend with my friends and his, my friends phone went missing that night, so i asked him if any of his friends had took it, he was quite defensive saying it's not a good start if i dont trust him, he didn't take the phone as i was with him the whole night, we get on so well, we haven't spoke for a couple of days now and i was just wonderin how he feels about i pulled 5 cards at random

    1. 7 of swords

    2. 7 of wands

    3. Justice

    4. page of cups

    5. heriophant

    would be greatfull if anyone could help me with what these cards mean with my situation..

  • Since I am uncertain as to which positions the cards are in or what they mean per position. It looks to me like he has some quiet contemplation time coming.. or Hiding.. Nothing looks significant.

    The Page of cups usually means he will be in your life for a short time. In other words.. I would suggest forgetting about him and see if he returns. It does not look like he will. Sorry.

  • hmm thanks lovedetox, i wonder what he's hiding from....i haven't even spoke to him since, just wondering where i've gone wrong 😞

  • what dose the heriophant mean as the last position may i ask?

  • The boy is immature and brings issues of trust to the surface for you (as you've already discovered). This is not to say that he can't be trusted, but there's a lesson here for you. He's a "teacher", someone who will challenge you to find a balance within yourself.

    He's a loving friend, not a lover. Questions to ask yourself would revolve around the nature of your relationship; what do you want from him, why are you involved with him.

    Trust your instinct. For some reason you are choosing to ignore it.

  • The last card (the way I interpret it) means he becomes recluse from you. He needs time to think (basically) so it is best to let him be and let him come back to you on his own accord. Some relationships take years to blossom.. Some relationships are short and not meant to last.

    Definition of Recluse:

    recluse [rɪˈkluːs]

    1. a person who lives in seclusion

    2. (Christianity / Ecclesiastical Terms) a person who lives in solitude to devote himself to prayer and religious meditation; a hermit, anchorite, or anchoress

    solitary; retiring

    [from Old French reclus, from Late Latin reclūdere to shut away, from Latin re- + claudere to close]

    reclusion [rɪˈkluːʒən] n

    reclusive adj

    Collins English Dictionary – Complete and Unabridged © HarperCollins Publishers 1991, 1994, 1998, 2000, 2003

  • I thought it was the Hermit that was the recluse not the Hierophant?

  • Ha ha.. oh crap. I read the entire thing wrong. For some reason I kept seeing the wrong card, my head kept picturing the wrong card. Oops!

    I am terribly sorry I am having a blond moment through this entire thing (I can say it cause I'm blond).

    I gave the wrong info (I never do that wth?)

    I'm so sorry...

    The Hierophant means someone who is higher in education or suited to be a teacher or in reverse it can mean cheating and deception cause the end of a relationship or be open to unconventional idea's - the truth may not be as it appears.

    I feel so dumb now. lol - You're right PH. I was way wrong.. So sorry AG as well.. I kept seeing another card in my head.

    I will do a past - present- future reading for his feelings for you..

    His feelings - It says a message was given to him to resolve the problem (just now) but his feelings are going to change to shallow thinking (High priestess reversed). Basically he's not an emotionally mature person like PH said.

    As I said, I am terribly sorry.. My mind is in overload lately. I hope you can forgive me.

  • so basically i should forget and move on? im kinda confused lol ...

  • ohhh PisceanHealer i've just read your post thank you, i now see things more be fair i think back to when i met him, we were drunk, we kissed, it was abit of fun... I sopose i should start trusting my instincts more often...

    and Sarah 23 aug 1970

    what is going to happen next?? Many thanks i love this site and all the helpful guides XX

  • Susie, this year should see you involved in a long-term relationship or even contemplating marriage, and family responsibilities/caring for others is highlighted.

    Sarah, this is more an introspective year for you - of going within to sort out your issues on all subjects but especially relationships, and exploring what you really need and want. It is more of a time alone than for being with one special person. Though I do feel you will date a lot.

  • thanks very much captain you are a star !

  • Spalma. Peace and love is always around you. Really . i do not believe any one knows but you. history present and past are key. if self love and purpose have not been recognized you could be stagnant on your godess path of truth. we as all have a divine purpose "WORLD" card. Find our place in the universe is essential because thaTS WHERE WILL BE AND WHERE HE" WE BE AND IT WILL BECAUSE OF TEMPERANCE. harmony, the divine union, balance, the right mix. often AFTER A SEPERATION, read into the hermit and ace of hearts in relevance to self love and understanding. HEAL. Bleass you.

    i pulled past present future : i feel feminine love energy for you in the future but when is up to you, remmember a spychics may see a manifesting , but what the relationship is , is up to you , it happended to me .. i see MAN aries your with him laughing watching tv, he was a guy 46 i worked with i am 24, not my love mate.

    past: dissapointment and confusion, but heart holding hope: 8 of cups

    present: reversed nine swords: lower frequency" mental anguish in regards to longing for emotional clarity.

    Future" the Empress.feminine aspect of consciousness, female growth and prosperity

  • sorry about the typos

  • Thanks turboxs ! is the Aires man in my future ?? I dont quite understand? but in general it seems a good reading and positive ! many thanks x

  • Spalma, you are a cusp leo virgo! also i studies trial and error with assesments and learned about Vedic astro. I myself feel that no one is a strait leo , virgo ect..... i feel that we all have strengths and lower frequencies of all because we we born under all planetary influences, some stronger and weaker. There are a few charACTERISTICS i can say about aries, but wait law of attraction, we generally attrACT what we send, i am an activist very agggressive in challenges and victory , so the three aries people i met during my time leading sales dept we aggresive go getters. So its hard to say. You are the creater of your destiny and your true colors, will, i learned that fate can be manifested, but we can win over fate and create our own destiny. I found that as long as you do U thats the best because u will be true and real and wherever u are in the universe the complimets and graces of people in divine union will be there, We just have to get ourselves Solid and strong to intune to our abilities regarding assesing ourselves and our partner, also being loveing to ourselves and independently agile emotionaly to be selfless in love.

  • With your permission only, i will do a reading for you regarding ...... as you please

  • I would love anyone to do a reading for me so please go ahead Turboxs !

    if you need info, I am Capricorn born 11.Jan .62 in Scotland

  • poetic,

    What a great idea worth sharing, thank you. Now you have me wondering just how to get those seeds to grown instantaneously. Ah the human mind which wants everything now. Can't hurt to dream right. I'll definitely give this some thought and put it into a visual reminder of some sort.

  • Hi RC, Plant the seeds it works, I have been testing Manifestation and it is working! Money has been flowing to me, peace and joy! Everything in due season. I believe we all have seasons, like the wheel of fortune. The wheel stops on everyone at some time. Believe!

  • Poetic,

    That is wonderful. May I ask what are you doing to manifest the money. I've been working on several ways to do that myself, at times it seems to be working than nothing. Any suggestions?

  • Sure, The key is to use the "present tense." Never use the future tense, i.e. I want, I need, see yourself having what ever you want. I am Healthy, I have abundunce and visualize what you wish to become. The Universe takes us lierally. Manifest as if you already possess that which you would like to have. Be creative, i.e. If you want a new car, use all your senses, See yourself driving the car, what does it smell like? What color is it? Saying I wish, or I want confirms lack instead, affirm abundance in the present tense as it were already yours. Believe, and expect great things to happen and they will, sounds corny but it's true!

  • I also say for the "Benefit of all." Meaning when I am blessed I have to in turn bless someone else. I have a list of folks I want to bless, it's like playing it forward. Stay positive too no matter what the situation looks like. Today for example, I have not a dollar in my pocket, but in the last 3 weeks I had over 5,000.00. I'm not worried because I'm expecting a miracle any minute, I believe something good is going to happen today! Guess what? I'm still BLESSED!

  • We all want everything NOW, doesn't always work that way, but boy oh boy, when it comes, it comes. Everytime it rains I say, "Those are blessings from Heaven." God never fails.

  • I'm not materialistic, but I like having money in my pocket. I've had the finer things before, don't care too much about jewelry, perfumes, etc. Been there-done that and it gets old. Just want to be comfortable in life, want to travel and go when and where I want, when I want. Peace of mind is free.

  • bumpity, bump.

  • Hi Poetic, your thread is GREAT!!!.... I have been sowing and nurturing my seeds for about 3yr now, they haven't come into fruition yet....but the only reason being is, my seeds are the evergreen type and they take longer to germinate and are slow growing!! :0)...but I don't mind waiting!...I just know they will make the most magnificent evergreen trees and shrubs you could ever imagine, like,....The majestic wonderful Pine tree....or the stunning Rhododendron....etc, I don't worry that I don't see my Beautiful Bungalow ...or the Crystal shop and Healing Rooms yet....but not to worry!!...I will keep watering and tending to my slow growing will all be SO worth it in the end....and I am just like you Poetic I really just want to be comfortable in life!! with the most treasure-able thing of all ....peace of mind!!,.... perfect!!

    much love to your beautiful soul!

  • poetic555,

    thank you for such precious information,

    it came at a time when i was needing it greatly!

    bless you in everyway!

  • Oh you guys make me so happy, just believe. See it, taste it, feel it! What are the colors in your Rainbow? Lets drink the Kool aide! Hah!

  • poetic See it, hear it, feel it! Girl you are so right. I took your advice on manifesting, started to visualize it, prayed about talked in the present tense. And my phone rang, have an interview tomorrow. My fingers are crossed, all my requests for help from the powers that be are out there. If this is the job I'm intended to have then I will get it and I can finally begin to move forward again on my path. I still don't know exactly where it leads me but it's a start, a step in the right direction (God willing). And I'm working on the vision board idea too. Can't hurt to see it all laid out in front of me, right? Anyway just wanted to say thanks. If anyone gets any good or bad vibes on this job I'd welcome them.

    I'm hoping this is a good start to spring cleaning out with the worries and frustration, out with the unemployment in with a fresh new job and financial upswing......

  • Give God the glory we are his vessels! I'm praying for you and your daughter. Ask God to move him out of her life. She may have self esteem issues and not know it. We all were stuck on stupid at least once or twice in our lives. Love is not supposed to hurt! He is in-secure an prays on her to make him feel like a man. Only a coward beats on a woman. That is one thing that p i s s es me off! I pray that is the right job for you at this time in your life.

  • p.s. When you go on tha interview, sell yourself! I hope they have benefits too. Peace Light n Love!

  • Thanks Poetic, Your insights are helpful I will pray for God to move him out of her life that is very good advice. As for the interview I'm nervous I'm second guessing myself now so as you say I hope it is the right job for me now and that it will offer benefits too. But if it isn't I hope I know that and another good opportunity comes right behind it. I appreciate the prayers.

  • RC, Remember they are only people, don't be nervous, think about them on the toilet! Be yourself! I used to read paragraphs out loud before Interviews to loosen my tongue. Think about what they may ask you, what can you bring to the table? Say things like "Team Player" Fast Learner R you can give World Class Customer Service. Yada, Yada!

  • poetic I can't tell you what your support means to me. I sure hope you know. I feel the interview went well I was amazed to hear I am up against 400 others for one job. But in the job market today I suppose that is not a huge surprise really. I think things went well. I tried to do all you said even before I read it here so still waiting to hear but I expect they are still interviewing. What sets me apart from the rest? That was a tough question to answer but I think I made them understand, I believe it is enough. But the tough. I have told myself I won't hear until at least next week so as not to worry my way through the weekend about it. I know I can do the job. When asked what my weakness was I joked and said gray hair, explained my age and that it makes me look older but it started coming in when I was 2, they got a good laugh out of that.

  • I'm stepping out on Faith and believing you got the job! Sometimes you'll be surprised and they will call and say, you know what another position came up and we thought of you!

  • We all were stuck on stupid at least once or twice in our perfect of a saying. I got a good chuckle out of that one. This thread is wonderful. I am starting a whole new life and so far it is moving in the right direction that I want it to. I plan on thinking about exactly what I want and will create that image as a reminder that all is well and I am manifesting everything that I want. I am like you, moving away from the material and just wish to be comfortable without any money worries or concerns, being able to help people and travel. I got a taste of that in January when I went to Malaysia and found out that I truly love to experience different countries and cultures. I will be doing more of that.

    RC, a good sense of humor will always be a great asset on a job. I agree with Poetic that this will be your job and it will be fulfilling for you.

    Thanks for the great thread and lots...Aunt B.

@frumious Yeah but I need Facebook for my university, unfortunately. My prom coordinates using a Facebook group.

@arax That's difficult. I'm in a position to refuse to participate in FB. But, I face a similar situation in being pressured to use MicroSoft file formats. I will at least complain to the group and explain the ramification of choosing the media.

Of course, don't let any of this spoil your enjoyment of your prom!

To William J. Coffee

Monticello May 15. 19

Dear Sir

I have been long indebted to you for your letter of Nov. 7. explaining to me the nature & character of the Roman cement, and kindly offering your assistance in procuring it. as the proper season is now arrived for using it, I wish to try it on one of my 4. cisterns, and if I find we can execute it effectually, I may then ask more for the other three. I therefore now inclose 40.D. and ask the favor of you to send me as many barrels of the cement as that may procure to be forwarded by sea to Capt Bernard Peyton of Richmond. I am particularly thankful for the exactness of your instructions as to the manipulation. unluckily the wax, in opening the letter, took off the ends of 2. lines, and a word on each which I cannot supply, & seem material. it is where you are directing how the bottom shall be finished. it stands thus

‘the bottom ought to be composed of well [a short word here torn off.]

layed, or what is called bedded in this Roman cement in the “m—”1 [qu. if manner]

of mortar, and on that bottom lay your coat of Roman cement Etc’2

if you can supply these chasms in the instructions, they will be compleat, but I should have still more confidence in success, if the visit you are so kind as to promise us should give us the advantage of your presence and personal instruction. the family will join me cordially in your welcome reception, as they do in assurances of esteem & respect.

CONFIRMED: The Pilot Of The Germanwings Plane Deliberately Destroyed The Plane And Slaughtered All Of The People

Yesterday, said that all of the clues lead to deliberate destruction of the plane. In the piece we did, we said:

After observing all of the clues in the crashing of the Germanwings plane, they do not signify technical difficulties — they lead to one conclusion, and that is hijacking or malicious human involvement. We did an entire video on this, and it is quite revealing

Now it has been confirmed by a French prosecutor that the pilot, Andreas Lubitz, deliberately crashed the plane. According to one report:

Trending: Duck Duck Go’s far-left political donations and abuse of user data have users FUMING

The co-pilot of the doomed Germanwings jet barricaded himself in the cockpit and “intentionally” sent the plane full speed into a mountain in the French Alps, ignoring the pilot’s frantic pounding on the door and the screams of terror from passengers, a prosecutor said Thursday.

take our poll - story continues below

Co-pilot Andreas Lubitz’s “intention (was) to destroy this plane,” Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said, laying out the horrifying conclusions reached by French aviation investigators after listening to the last minutes of Tuesday’s Flight 9525.

The Airbus A320 was flying from Barcelona to Duesseldorf when it began to descend from cruising altitude of 38,000 feet after losing radio contact with air traffic controllers. All 150 on board died when the plane slammed into the mountain.

Robin said the pilot, who has not been identified, left the cockpit, presumably to go to the lavatory, and then was unable to regain access. In the meantime, Lubitz, a 28-year-old German, manually set the plane on the descent that drove it into the mountain.

Robin said the commander of the plane knocked several times “without response.” He said the door could only be blocked manually.

“The most plausible, the most probably, is that the co-pilot voluntarily refused to open the door of the cockpit for the captain and pressed the button for the descent,” Robin said.

He said the co-pilot’s responses, initially courteous in the first part of the trip, became “curt” when the captain began the mid-flight briefing on the planned landing.

The information was pulled from the black box cockpit voice recorder, but Robin said the co-pilot said nothing from the moment the commanding pilot left.

“It was absolute silence in the cockpit,” he said.

During the final minutes of the flight’s descent, pounding could be heard on the cockpit door as plane alarms sounded but the co-pilot’s breathing was normal the whole time, Robin said.

“It’s obvious this co-pilot took advantage of the commander’s absence. Could he have known he would leave? It is too early to say,” he said.

He said Lubitz had never been flagged as a terrorist and would not give details on his religion or ethnic background. German authorities were taking charge of the investigation into the co-pilot.

Robin said just before the plane hit the mountain, the sounds of passengers screaming could be heard on the audio.

“I think the victims realized just at the last moment,” he said.

The A320 is designed with safeguards to allow emergency entry if a pilot inside is unresponsive, but the override code known to the crew does not go into effect — and indeed goes into a lockdown — if the person inside the cockpit specifically denies entry, according to an Airbus training video and a pilot who has six years of experience with the jets.

Airlines in Europe are not required to have two people in the cockpit at all times, unlike the standard U.S. operating procedure after the 9/11 attacks changed to require a flight attendant to take the spot of a briefly departing pilot.

In the German town of Montabaur, acquaintances told The Associated Press that Lubitz appeared normal and happy when they saw him last fall as he renewed his glider pilot’s license.

“He was happy he had the job with Germanwings and he was doing well,” said a member of the glider club, Peter Ruecker, who watched Lubitz learn to fly. “He gave off a good feeling.”

News of how investigators thought the plane crashed shocked the families, the airlines and everyone who heard the chilling, blow-by-blow description from the prosecutor. Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr said the airline was already “appalled” by what happened.

“I could not have imagined that becoming even worse,” Spohr said in Cologne. “We choose our cockpit staff very, very carefully.”

The families of victims were briefed about the conclusions just ahead of the announcement.

“The victims deserve explanations from the prosecutor,” Robin said. “(But) they have having a hard time believing it.”

Robin said the second black box still had not been found but remains of victims and DNA identification have begun, he said.

Lubitz had obtained his glider pilot’s license as a teenager, and was accepted as a Lufthansa pilot trainee after finishing a tough German college preparatory school, Ruecker said. He described Lubitz as a “rather quiet” but friendly young man.

Lubitz’ recently deleted Facebook page appeared to show a smiling man in a dark brown jacket posing in front of the Golden Gate Bridge in California. The page was wiped sometime in the past two days.

Lufthansa said Lubitz joined Germanwings in September 2013, directly out of flight school, and had flown 630 hours. The captain had more than 6,000 hours of flying time and been a Germanwings pilot since May 2014, having previously flown for Lufthansa and Condor.

The circumstances of the crash are likely to raise questions anew about the possibility of suicidal pilots.

In the 1999 crash of an EgyptAir jet off Nantucket that killed all 217 people on board, U.S. investigators found the co-pilot intentionally caused the plane to go down despite the pilot’s efforts to regain control. Egyptian officials rejected the findings, saying the crash may have been caused by a mechanical failure.

McHugh reported from Montabaur, Germany. David Rising in Berlin and Alan Clendenning in Madrid contributed to this report.

  • White supremacists plotted attack on US power grid, FBI says

    12/22/2020 7:25:01 PM PST · by E. Pluribus Unum · 76 replies ^ | DEC 22, 2020 | AMY FORLITI
    MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — White supremacists plotted to attack power stations in the southeastern U.S., and an Ohio teenager who allegedly shared the plan said he wanted the group to be “operational” on a fast-tracked timeline if President Donald Trump were to lose his re-election bid, the FBI alleges in an affidavit that was mistakenly unsealed. The teen was in a text group with more than a dozen people in the fall of 2019 when he introduced the idea of saving money to buy a ranch where they could participate in militant training, according to the affidavit, which was filed under...

    The Federalist ^ | July 4, 2020 | Rachel Campos Duffy
    6 Ways To Raise A Patriot WhatÂ’s the most patriotic thing you can do right now? Raise a patriot! One silver lining of recent political and cultural upheaval is that parents are finally waking up to the indoctrination of their children. IÂ’ve always known my kidsÂ’ schools were liberal, but it wasnÂ’t until COVID-19 homeschooling began that I discovered my sonÂ’s high school curriculum included Chinese communist propaganda videos. I sat at my kitchen counter with my jaw open as we watched an assigned video justifying and promoting the Chinese Communist PartyÂ’s inhumane population control policies with zero counterpoint...

  • Growing up in Evangelical communities increases porn viewership in non-religious teenagers

    PsyPost ^ | May 31, 2020 | Eric W. Dolan
    New research has found a link between religious environments in the United States and porn-viewing among youth. The study, published in Deviant Behavior, strengthens the findings of existing research by using multilevel data to account for important differences between individuals. Even after accounting for confounding variables, the researchers found that county-level religious adherence rates still increased the odds of watching porn during adolescence by 66.53%, regardless of religious identity. Similarly, youth were more likely to report viewing pornography in counties with a higher share of conservative Protestants, especially among youth who were not conservative Protestants themselves.
  • New Jersey, NJ, surpasses all states in teenage abortion rate

New Jersey has the highest teenage abortion rate of any state, surpassing even New York, according to a report released by a national organization that studies reproductive issues.

New Jersey recorded 47 abortions per 1,000 women ages 15 to 19, posting the highest statewide teenage abortion rate of any state for 2000, the latest time period for which state-by-state data were available.

    Thanks to being quarantined at home, we’re all spending more time on social media harping about how horrible we have it. As a country, we’re facing an unknown pandemic that has the potential to kill hundreds of thousands of people and as a result, our government has taken drastic measures to curtail its spread by asking, or in some cases forcing us to self-quarantine. Out of all this, do you know who has it the worst? Is it medical professionals faced with the thought deciding who will live and die because of shortages of life saving equipment? Nope. Is it...

    Fred Deutsch didn't set out to be a trailblazer. He just wanted to protect kids. But if his South Dakota bill stops children from being mutilated, then all of the nasty emails will have been worth it. At least in one state, hurting teens will have a chance at a normal life -- not the suffering so many activists are pushing them toward. When legislators bundled up for work this morning in Pierre, some of them were on their way to make history. For the first time in America, a state was holding a hearing on whether minors under 16...
  • Study: Teenagers Who Don't Date Have Better Social Skills, Less Depressed

    CBN News ^ | 09/10/2019 | Steve Warren
    With all of the social and personal turmoil that develops during the teenage years, a new study finds teens who hold off on dating have better social skills, are happier, and are less depressed. This finding goes against American culture in terms of every movie or television show that portrays teenagers in high school. Some believe that dating is just a part of being a teenager. Forming a romantic relationship for the first time can help in a teenager's own self-esteem. Researchers at the University of Georgia say that's true, but they've also found that not dating could be even...
  • Things Haven't Always Been This Way

    07/17/2019 4:01:18 AM PDT · by Kaslin · 25 replies ^ | July 17, 2019 | Walter E. Williams
    Here's a suggestion. How about setting up some high school rifle clubs? Students would bring their own rifles to school, store them with the team coach and, after classes, collect them for practice. You say: "Williams, you must be crazy! To prevent gun violence, we must do all we can to keep guns out of the hands of kids." There's a problem with this reasoning. Prior to the 1960s, many public high schools had shooting clubs. In New York City, shooting clubs were started at Boys, Curtis, Commercial, Manual Training and Stuyvesant high schools. Students carried their rifles to school...

    The Daily Signal ^ | July 15, 2019 | Jarrett Stepman
    While you were enjoying your Fourth of July weekend, I was attending a national conference on socialism. Why? Because socialism is having its moment on the left. Since there’s often confusion as to what socialism really is, I decided to attend the Socialism 2019 conference at the Hyatt Hotel in Chicago over the Fourth of July weekend. The conference, which had the tag line “No Borders, No Bosses, No Binaries,” contained a cross-section of the most pertinent hard-left thought in America. Among the sponsors were the Democratic Socialists of America and Jacobin, a quarterly socialist magazine. The walls of the...
  • Jobs are plentiful, but Idaho teens aren’t working

    Idaho Freedom Foundation ^ | June 7, 2019 | Wayne Hoffman
    Though their population has increased, there are fewer Idaho teenagers in the workforce than there were 20 years ago. In 1998, more than 25,000 Idahoans between the ages of 14 and 18 were employed, two decades later, about 24,500 Idaho youngsters earn a paycheck, according to government data. That four percent drop in the number of young employees today versus 1998 is amplified by the fact that Idaho’s population was 1.2 million then, and 1.7 million now. The state’s total workforce has grown by 35 percent. And while policymakers are stoked about Idaho’s unemployment rate remaining below 3 percent, the...

    The Christian Post ^ | April 2, 2019 | Brandon Showalter
    WASHINGTON — Medical doctors and a mom of a trans-identifying child are urging the government to shut down medical operations that are harming children. Their efforts to resist the medicalization of gender has led them to discover that government-funded research now allows wrong sex hormones such as testosterone to be given to girls as young as 8. At a Thursday panel at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, Dr. Michael Laidlaw addressed the medical harms of hormonal treatments and surgical interventions being performed on young people who believe they are the opposite sex. Doctors administering these treatments are advocating...

    There is a new addition to the pantheon of Trump hatred in the media. It is a Trump hate book for teenagers. Yes, liberal families can now gift their teenagers with a book telling them why they should hate Trump. The latest example of Trump Derangement Syndrome, Unpresidented: A Biography of Donald Trump, was reviewed by TDS victim Katy Waldman on December 19 in the New Yorker. Waldman proudly lets us know she suffers from TDS starting with the very title of her review, "A Trump Biography for Teens Is a New Lens on the President’s Totalizing Awfulness," and it goes...

  • A Fast-Food Problem: Where Have All the Teenagers Gone?

    The New York Times ^ | 03 May 2018 | RACHEL ABRAMS and ROBERT GEBELOFF
    A quarter-century ago, there were 56 teenagers in the labor force for every “limited service” restaurant — that is, the kind where you order at the counter. Today, there are fewer than half as many, which is a reflection both of teenagers’ decreasing work force participation and of the explosive growth in restaurants. But in an industry where cheap labor is an essential component in providing inexpensive food, a shortage of workers is changing the equation upon which fast-food places have long relied. This can be seen in rising wages, in a growth of incentives, and in the sometimes odd...

    The CNN crew had a jolly old time this morning, mocking President Trump for his penchant for using his cellphone, and analogizing him to a recalcitrant teenage girl. Chris Cuomo led the charge, advising chief of staff John Kelly to say to Trump: “Look, we let you use this phone. It’s a privilege. It’s not a right. And if you don’t use it the right way, we’re going to take it from you.” Added Alisyn Camerota, “and you’re going to be grounded.” Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

    Frontpage Mag ^ | March 26, 2018 | Bruce Thornton
    Last Saturday hundreds of thousands of high schoolers gathered across the country in a “March for Our Lives” rally. Organized and financed by anti-gun nuts and other left-wing outfits, and ornamented with Hollywood celebrities like George Clooney and Oprah Winfrey, the spectacle was filled with the emotional exhibitionism and juvenile policy recommendations one would expect from the most pampered and worst-educated cohort of young people in American history––the perfect shock troops for progressive propaganda. Progressivism, like its totalitarian cousins, is an ideology of melodrama and moral exhibitionism. The complexity and mystery of a flawed human nature and its actions are...

    With all the chaos going on in this country after the Parkland, Fla. massacre, and the gun control push by the Parkland children, the mainstream media, and the Russia probe, if Republicans retain control of the Senate and House in November and add governorships and state legislative seats, do you see the teenagers and liberals acting up after the election, protesting on the streets again?

    The New York Times ^ | March 2, 2018 | Laurence Steinberg
    The young people who have come forward to call for gun control in the wake of the mass shooting at their high school in Parkland, Fla., are challenging the tiresome stereotype of American kids as indolent narcissists whose brains have been addled by smartphones. They offer an inspiring example of thoughtful, eloquent protest. Unfortunately, when it comes to electing lawmakers whose decisions about gun control and other issues affect their lives, these high schoolers lack any real power. This needs to change: The federal voting age in the United States should be lowered from 18 to 16. Skeptics will no...

    While browsing Twitter last week, I suddenly noticed a barrage of tweets hailing Dana Loesch’s performance at CNN’s town hall meeting on gun control. Curious, I headed to YouTube to see it. Loesch, indeed, defended the Second Amendment with tact and poise, but what struck me most as I watched the event wasn’t her performance but the vicious behavior of the crowd. Like a mob, the audience repeatedly heckled Loesch – and Senator Marco Rubio before her – for opposing gun control of any kind. It even booed Loesch for arguing that some rape victims would have loved to have...

How to Welcome and Support Transfer Students

By Barbara Gruener

Part of our Counselor’s Corner series. Click to read other posts in the Counselor’s Corner

How to Welcome and Support Transfer StudentsHappy 2016. The start of a new year typically brings great promise and endless possibilities for improvement and change. Resolutions to make things better abound.

But what if the change is something a student didn’t ask for, something that he or she doesn’t want—something like moving midyear, for example? What would such students need from their new school? What would they want from their new school family? What could you do to welcome them and help make their transition go more smoothly?

Whether students transfer in September or another time, it’s vital to nurture change. Train faculty and staff on transition expectations so that they can provide the necessary support. Newcomers will want to connect and feel a sense of belonging. Their arrival will provide a wonderful opportunity to elevate empathy in the students who have already begun to gel with one another. Ask your students to brainstorm ideas for making new students feel cared about and welcomed.

Consider these suggestions that support transfer students:

Make New Friends Welcome Kits to give to students when they register. These can include, but aren’t limited to, a hand-written welcome note from one of your students, a school pencil inscribed with the school website, a character-trait wristband, a coloring book with pictures of key support personnel, a map of the school, and a coupon for an ice cream treat from a community partner.

Introduce new students to support staff like the principal, the school counselor, the nurse, the librarian, and the cafeteria staff as soon as possible because they will provide comfort and connection in the days and weeks ahead.

Find a L.I.N.K. (Let’s Include New Kids) guide—a student in the new students’ homeroom—to serve as a buddy, take new kids on the school tour, and help them acclimate to their new surroundings. If there is a second language involved, consider using a student who can speak that language and translate as needed.

Pair new students with a Cafeteria Companion to help facilitate lunchtime conversation and encourage new friendships.

Take a photograph of your new students (with their permission) and make a L.I.N.K. display so that existing students can recognize them and learn their names. Put their pictures on die-cut stars that say something like this: Twinkle, twinkle, little star; we wished for you, and here you are. As an alternative to the photo, let new students decorate the star to show who they are, what they like to do, and what they value.

Give new students a class and/or school T-shirt so that they’ll have what they need for special events like field trips or assembly days.

Issue a school planner. If this doesn’t include a list of suggested supplies, include that separately.

Create a list of all clubs and extracurricular activities and post student-created public service announcements that explain about the clubs. Encourage new students to join at least one before- or after-school activity.

Make a name badge that hangs on a school lanyard for your new students. Put the words to the school song and pledge(s) or touchstone on the back for quick reference.

Host a special gathering for all new students every grading period, so they can meet one another and do some team building. Some activities we’ve enjoyed are a root beer float party, a reader’s theater performance, and a game of dodgeball.

Invite new students to regularly connect with one another at a “Lunch Bunch” or in a small group counseling class.

Provide opportunities for new students to share highlights from their former school so that you might adopt their promising practices.

Locate a new student’s former school on a map and calculate the mileage from there to your school. Challenge the class or grade level to collectively run that many miles either during physical education classes, at recess, or before or after school (as is reasonable).

Send a video message from your new student to his or her former teacher and class.

Arrange a Skype or Google Hangout chat between your new student’s former class and the new class. Or, invite the former class to be pen pals with your class so your students can learn more about that area’s customs and traditions.

Include the adults in the school integration process. Work with the parent-teacher organization to pair new students’ caregivers with existing members who can answer questions as they arise.

Rely on the school counselor as a liaison to community resources as needs surface.

    Barbara, you have some fabulous ideas here. Well done. I think making new students welcome is crucial, at the beginning of the year as well as mid-year. I love the idea of welcome kits. I always had a welcome kit for new students to the class. I wrote them a letter that included the words “I’m glad you’re in my class” or “I’m happy to be your teacher” and a sticker that said the same thing. I love the “Twinkle Twinkle” rhyme. I wish I was aware of it when I was in the classroom. I would like to share it with others. Is it your idea or did you find it elsewhere?

    • Hi Norah, thank you for your kind reflections. I love that you always had a welcome kit for new students; how nice that must have been for them! As for the rhyme, I first saw it as Wall Art in a baby’s nursery a few years back and thought it’d make the perfect L.I.N.K. bulletin board.

Listen// Blissful electronic sounds for the birds

Jude Woodhead’s vocals soar ascend above electronic ecstasy.

At only twenty, classically trained South Londoner Jude Woodhead already sounds fully formed. Emerging out of the same London scene that brought us King Krule, his latest release For The Birds joins the melodic ideas of world music with a slick modern electronic approach. Jude’s collaging style ends up feeling as big as his most surprising influences: Paul Simon and Jeff Buckley.

For The Birds enwraps itself around a tender Arabic vocal line. It’s all nuance and subtle build-up, as a four-on-the-floor beat and beautiful synth hooks float out of the building sonic mass. It’s music guided by the euphoria of crossing boundaries.

“I began work on ‘For The Birds’ way back in 2015, but the instrumental was finished about a year later,” says Jude. “It was originally based around a Lebanese vocal sample but the final version was sung by an artist friend of mine called Rachida. The song has been through many forms; I started the tune in 2015, but the bulk of the work was done over a period of about two months in 2016, when I was living at uni.

“I was pretty isolated at University and the music I was making was kind of a reaction to that; trying to make the kind of tunes that reflected what I wanted out of life at that point. This track has been shelved away a couple of times, and almost deleted at one point, but it feels good to have it finally coming out.”

Rep. Miller Holds “First of its Kind” Hearing on Invasive Species

Rep. Miller Holds “First of its Kind” Hearing on Invasive Species

Congresswoman Candice Miller, chairperson of the House Subcommittee on Regulatory Affairs, recently held a “first of its kind” congressional hearing at Anchor Bay High School in Ira Township, Michigan on the issue of aquatic invasive species in the Great Lakes. The hearing focused on the introduction of invasive species like the zebra mussel into the Great Lakes by way of discharges from the ballast water of ships.

“It’s downright scary to think that there are at least 180 invasive species prowling on our precious Great Lakes water,” Representative Miller said. “We need federal agencies to tackle this problem in a more aggressive way.”

Local residents, as well as officials from the State of Michigan and federal agencies gave testimony at the hearing. Many of those who testified expressed frustration at the snail-like pace with which the Coast Guard has proceeded in addressing the ballast water problem. Current regulations exempt ships that declare No Ballast on Board (NOBOB) from requiring inspection, even though it has been documented that NOBOB ships can harbor live organisms. Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox argued that the EPA should be the lead agency and not the Coast Guard – an argument backed up by a recent 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that said ballast water discharges should be regulated by EPA under the Clean Water Act.

It’s promising to see Representative Miller, an avid boater, bringing her colleagues from around the U.S. to the Lake Huron basin to discuss such a critical issue for the Great Lakes. Hopefully that spotlight will help generate some badly needed momentum to close the NOBOB loophole and pass the National Aquatic Invasive Species Act.

Winds of Change?

Life Happens.

I have seen many a shirt with those words. Growing up, I never really fully grasped the meaning of those two simple words. I knew the other “Happens” phrase well though.  You know, that other one 😉

Now, as an adult, funny word, adult, many times its connotation is by far worse than the other “happens” phrase…but I digress, now as a grown person, a bit better I suppose, I truly get that whole Life Happens.

And yet, one can or SHOULD rest at ease knowing He’s got this. Leave it all in His hands. His time. Not easy, His time. Believe me…but when we surrender, it is easier. Much.

What is this wind bringing? Unfortunately for you, my one faithful reader that kept checking in, that I plan on coming back…
