Growing Years School

Growing Years School is a small non-profit preschool in Basalt, Colorado. Established in 1988, Growing Years has provided excellent early childhood education longer than any other preschool in Basalt. With the curriculum focused on learning through play, children are encouraged to grow and explore.
Rated level 4 & 5 by Colorado Shines!

Our Goal

The goal at GYS is to help young children make sense of the world. The intention is to provide a comfortable environment—one which is more home-like than school-like, creating an enthusiasm for learning, while developing good citizens.

Our Philosophy

GYS exemplifies a high-quality, developmentally oriented program, delineating the best knowledge about how children grow and learn, providing for each child individually. In recognition that the arts are a basis of intellectual development, the program is rich in music, movement, visual and literary arts, and covers the rudiments of all disciplines from “astronomy to zoology.” GYS is a school where a child can become self-confident and self-disciplined; where the child & individual talents and strengths are developed; where home and school cooperate; and where staff is open to learning, using observation and non-judgmental recording as a basis for program planning, implementation and assessment.

Our Vision

“We envision a world of children who are self-confident, self-disciplined, and enthusiastic about learning.”

Guardian Pharmacy of Wisconsin has been dedicated to supporting our assisted living communities for more than 20 years. We provide a range of services and understand the unique needs of your communities.

Resident Focused Support

Guardian is a full‐service, institutional and long-term care pharmacy – not a retail pharmacy. Our partnerships allow us to improve resident care by providing pharmaceutical services that enable caregivers to spend less time on administrative duties and more time on the comfort, safety and quality of life for your loved ones. We know for them, and for you, that is the bottom line.

What can you Expect?

Medications delivered on time, in the right dosage, to the right person, 24/7/365:

  • Delivery – We provide regular, scheduled deliveries and emergency deliveries in case of urgent needs.

  • Compliance Packaging – All medications are packaged with administrative documentation to assure accuracy and resident safety. Caregivers can easily administer these medications with less risk for errors.
  • Technology – We use state-of-the-art technology to help eliminate medication errors and streamline communication between the pharmacy and the community.

The average resident takes up to 10 prescription medications a day, often prescribed by several different physicians. Guardian minimizes the risk of adverse reactions and ensures that only necessary medications are taken. Resident medication regimens are reviewed frequently to monitor for:

  • Compatibility of the drugs
  • Contraindications
  • The appropriateness of medications chosen
  • Formulary compliance

This single view of every resident’s drug regimen adds an extra measure of safety and reduces cost by identifying redundancy.

Additional services include:

  • 24/7 access to one of our local pharmacists
  • Specialized medication packaging
  • Bar Coding technology
  • Pharmacist/nurse consulting services
  • Up-to-date medication administration records (MAR) and option for electronic medication administration records (eMAR)

Section 2. Creating 3D Data#

2.1 Project Planning and Requirements#

As with all projects creating digital data, certain elements have to be considered at the outset to ensure effective preservation and documentation of 3D content. While a brief overview of the theoretical considerations of 3D and virtual reality models is provided by the AHDS Virtual Reality guide (AHDS 2002, section 5), the London Charter[1] provides the "de facto benchmark to which heritage visualization processes and outputs should be held accountable." When planning a project involving the creation of 3D data, the principles of the London Charter should be taken into account before - although they logically lead into - a consideration of specific documentation or metadata specifications and file formats.

2.1.1 London Charter

In 2006 the London Charter was conceived as a means of ensuring the intellectual and technical rigour of computer-based visualisations of cultural heritage. The London Charter strives to define strict rules in dealing with computer-based visualization methods. It contains six principles:

  • Principle 1: Implementation, addresses the intended use, purpose, and scope of the London Charter.
  • Principle 2: Aims and methods, advises on the importance of the appropriate application of computer based visualisation methods and whether these are the most suitable approaches to accomplish project goals.
  • Principle 3: Research Sources, broaches the issue of identification and documentation of relevant sources used for 3D visualisations.
  • Principle 4: Documentation, advises on what information should be documented during the development process of 3D content in order to facilitate understanding and use of 3D visualisations.
  • Principle 5: Sustainability, addresses the planning of long-term sustainability and usability of 3D content.
  • Principle 6: Access, advises on planning for the effective dissemination of 3D visualisations within the wider cultural heritage sphere.

In the context of this guide, the first three principles of the London Charter can be seen to relate to project planning, data capture, and data creation, while the latter three principles relate to data documentation, formats for preservation, and formats or methods for data dissemination.

Insulin works by restoring the patient's ability to store glucose in the liver, muscle and fat cells and release glucose when the body is low in energy. There are different types of insulin that people can administer. They perform the same effect but differ in when the action of insulin will come into effect. The goal of all types of insulin is to manage blood glucose between 4-7mmol/L.

When taking insulin it is important to remember to monitor your blood glucose level before meals and after meals. This method allows you prevent your blood glucose from being too high or too low. It is also important to remember that insulin should be administered in the abdomen where it is readily absorbed.

Dog Carrier Backpack Buying Guide

With the backpack for pets, you can take your furry friend anywhere. However, the crucial thing is to measure your pet first before buying one.

You can do this as follow:

  • Measure from the neck to the base of the tail
  • Measure from the floor to the top of your pet’s shoulders
  • While this is the first thing you should do, there are other factors to consider as well.

The Backpack Size

As mentioned, you need to measure your pet first before investing in the right size suitable to transport your dog. With the correct sized backpack, your animal can travel in comfort without feeling cramped. You do not want an oversized bag that is difficult to carry with the weight of your pet.

Another thing you should look at is the padding of the bag providing comfort for your pet and yourself when carrying. The shoulder straps need to be comfortable with a breathable design and adjustable as well. Furthermore, the interior and exterior of the bag require thick padding to keep your animal relaxed.

While carrying your dog or cat with a pet backpack seems simple for you, it may not be as comforting for your pet at first. Therefore, it helps if the bag has lockable zips with drawstring tops and a leash to keep your pet secure.

Added Storage

Furthermore, it helps if the dog carrier backpack has pockets to keep water and snacks. When selecting a bag for dogs and cats, it helps if you have added pockets to keep essential items like your phone, water bottle, and more.

Ease of Cleaning

As you are transporting your pet around town, your furry friend may need to get out for a while. During this time, they can get dirty, and having a removable padded bottom makes cleaning a bit more comfortable.

Final Thoughts

There is no such thing as the best dog carrier backpack as each one offers different uses when it comes to transporting your furry friend.

Therefore, the best one will offer you convenience in safety, comfort, and security when walking, hiking, or cycling. If you want to take your dog or cat for an outing, make sure the bag has a leash harness to keep your pet safe.

With these backpacks for pets, you can travel in comfort without leaving your furry kid at home. All of the pet carriers reviewed offer a comfortable and safe way to journey with your pet.

My Writing Outlook

As a boomer, society encouraged the value of individual effort.

From My Way to Invictus, I was nurtured on literature which celebrated individuals efforts. Although I memorized Invictus in Freshman English, I was never comfortable saying “I’m the master of my fate and the captain of my soul.” Oh, there was deep inside of me the voice which wanted to proclaim those words with all the bravado I could muster. But, this theme goes against what I really believe, that Jesus is the Captain of my soul.

It seems to me, there is a very fine line that we must walk between the power of the individual vs a mass collective or an individual that finds greater satisfaction and meaning in joining her experiences with others to meet the challenges our world is facing.

My Pets - The Cats

I have two cats. I hoped the second cat would be a pal for the older cat, but they haven't bonded.

My older cat seems to be unhappy most of the time. She just hasn't found how to fit into my life.

She loves to help by grabbing the pages as they come out of the printer or by setting a record for pulling all the quilting pins from a pin cushion.

My Pets -The Dog

My pets include a collie mix named Penny. I brought her into our family in about 2006 from the local shelter to be a friend to my older dog, Blue. They were best friends from the moment they saw each other. Unfortunately, we lost Blue in 2014 at the age of 14.

The Austrailan Shepherd - Blue (his eyes are blue, named by the previous owner). He was about 1.5 in 2001 when I adopted him.

The collie mix is named Penny. She was about 3 years old when I adopted her to be a friend for Blue. They loved each other.

My Artistic Loves

 I enjoy reading about and doing all kinds of fabric art.

The first two photos are of a wall hanging I'm working on of a cross. Each of the patchwork pieces represents the sins of the world nailed to the cross. The solid light blue pieces represents the living water of Jesus, while the light red pieces represents the atoning blood of Jesus. The two mixed together as they flow down the cross to bring eternal life to world.

The Flag quilt wall hanging is one of my favorites. I found the quilt pattern watching  Alex Andson back when she had a quilting show on HGTV

About Lyndie Blevins

I'm a Vintage Mid-Century, a Writer, a Texan and a Jesus-follower.

I enjoy the UT Longhorns, fabric art, writing and books. I write fiction.

I grew up in Duncanville, Tx, which gives me a sense of small town life. Yet the nearness of Dallas, brings the benefits of a large metroplex into my frame of reference. We were a 3A school at that time, and there was this amazing assumption that we weren't able to learn at the same level as the 4A schools. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BA in government. I spent 35 years working in Information Technology.

In 2013 my parents moved in with me. Their health was failing and need additional help for everyday things. In 2014, their health reached at stage where I devoted all my time to taking care of them and my writing/website were put aside. My mom passed June 20th and my dad passed July 8th, 2014. The rest of that year and 2015 were spent setttling their estate.

I yearn for wide open spaces in all areas of my life, I write about characters who find their true fulfillment in community.

Video: Dubai-backed Hyperloop One completes second phase of testing

Video: Dubai-backed Hyperloop One completes second phase of testing

The company is expected to its office in Dubai this September

Dubai-backed Hyperloop One, the company building the high-speed hyperloop transportation system, has successfully completed the second phase of testing in the Nevada desert, it announced on Wednesday.

The company completed phase two testing on July 29, and said it “achieved historic test speeds travelling nearly the full distance of the 500-metre DevLoop track”.

With Hyperloop One, passengers and cargo are loaded into a pod, and accelerate gradually via electric propulsion through a low-pressure tube. The pod lifts above the track using magnetic levitation and glides at airline speeds for long distances due to ultra-low aerodynamic drag.

As part of phase two, the Hyperloop One XP-1, the company’s first-generation pod, accelerated for 300 metres and glided above the track using magnetic levitation before braking and coming to a gradual stop.

The tube was depressurised down to the equivalent of air at 200,000 feet above sea level, a statement said.

All components of the system were tested, including the electric motor, controls and power electronics, magnetic levitation and guidance, pod suspension and vacuum system.

On a comparison bases, phase two saw the system achieve 2.7 times faster speed ( 192mph) compared to phase one (69mph). The Hyperloop One also went 4.5 times farther in terms of distance (1,433 feet vs 315 feet) and recorded 3.5 times more power to the pod (3,151hp vs 891hp).

Josh Giegel, president of Engineering and co-founder of Hyperloop One said: “We successfully completed Phase 1, proving that Hyperloop One technology works and that Hyperloop is real.

“Phase 2 was far more difficult as we built upon everything we learned from our initial test and accomplished faster speeds at a farther distance. We’re now one step closer to deploying Hyperloop around the world.”

Hyperloop One CEO Rob Lloyd added: “We’ve proven that our technology works, and we’re now ready to enter into discussions with partners, customers and governments around the world about the full commercialisation of our Hyperloop technology.

“We’re excited about the prospects and the reception we’ve received from governments around the world to help solve their mass transportation and infrastructure challenges.”

The Los Angeles-based company is one of several firms competing to introduce the world’s first operational hyperloop system.

Last year, it signed an agreement with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority to conduct a feasibility study into a potential hyperloop system linking Dubai and Abu Dhabi. If completed, the system will link the two emirates in 12 minutes.

Speaking to Gulf Business earlier this year, creative director at Hyperloop One Colin Rhys confirmed that the company would open its first international office in Dubai in September.

“The focus [in the local office] will on be on project development, engineering, prototyping – basically everything we do in Los Angeles,” he said.

“We have already started hiring and we are focusing on hiring Emiratis,” he added.

Revealed: World’s most and least powerful passports

Revealed: World’s most and least powerful passports

The UAE passport ranks as the fourth most powerful worldwide

The UAE has been ranked as having the fourth most powerful passport in the world, according to the global ranking on Passport Index.

The Passport Index, run by Arton Capital, collects, displays and ranks the passports from around the world.

The ranking uses a three-tier method to determine the individual rank of each passport which is mainly based on its visa-free score (based on how many countries can be visited visa-free and with a visa on arrival).

With a ‘visa free’ score of 162, the UAE ranks as the most ‘powerful’ passport in the GCC region, according to the latest rankings. Emirati passport holders can travel to 113 without visas and receive visas on arrival in 49 countries. They require visas for 36 nations.

The UAE has been exerting efforts to strengthen the stature of its passport and has signed visa waiver agreements with Canada, China, Guyana, Tonga, Congo, Ireland, Paraguay and Guinea this year.

Looking wider at the GCC region, Kuwait is ranked second, with a ‘visa free’ score of 95, followed by Qatar (88), Bahrain (84), Oman (81) and Saudi Arabia (79).

My Fellow Americans: Assessing Each President's Inaugural Address

On January 20th, the incoming president delivers their inaugural address in a tradition that goes back to 1789, with the first inauguration of George Washington. The address tells our fellow Americans – and our neighbors around the world – that the best is yet to come and provides a roadmap on how to get there.

My Fellow Americans brings together all of the inaugural addresses – from George Washington's first in 1789, up until Donald Trump's in 2016 – with 63 essays from leading scholars, speechwriters, historians, biographers, and experts on the presidents and their era. Contributors have won the Pulitzer Prize, the Bancroft Prize, have been New York Times Bestsellers, National Book Award winners, editors of the papers of the presidents, and are all-around experts on their subject.

What was a president going to be dealing with heading into the highest office in the land? What decisions did they make and how did they impact the trajectory of the United States? What has their legacy been in & out of office? And what did they want to do for the country? These questions, and more, are answered by the wisdom of some of the people that know these presidents best.

Contributors include: Stephen H. Browne, Kevin Butterfield, Rhonda Barlow, Peter S. Onuf, Annette Gordon-Reed, Stuart E. Leibiger, J.C.A Stagg, Daniel Preston, Sandra Moats, C. James Taylor, Harry L. Watson, Thomas Coens, Michael J. Gerhardt, Daniel Walker Howe, Christopher J. Leahy, Walter R. Borneman, Michael F. Holt, Claude E. Welch Jr., Peter Wallner, Jean H. Baker, David S.

What kind of files will I get?

1. .epub – This works on almost all devices and apps, except Kindle.

2. .azw3 – This works on Kindles.

3. .kepub – This works on Kobo readers.

4. .pdf – Not recommended, but included just in case.

I thought there were only 46 presidents? Why are there 63 essays?

There are! Some presidents have been elected more than once, which means they've delivered more than one inaugural address. Others have died in office and someone else has had to take their place. While these presidents did not deliver an inaugural address proper, they often did give a speech upon assuming the office of the president. Where that's happened, I've used the speech that would be in closest proximity to the inaugural.

What about Joe Biden?

2021 will not be long enough to gauge how well he did. I plan to update this book in 2024 with a new essay. That, of course, will be a free update for everyone. I plan to do so for each president going forward at the end of each 4 year term.

What if I want to listen to the inaugural addresses?

You're in luck – you can listen to a podcast of all the addresses here:

Is this it?

I envision this as a sort of living book. There will certainly be updates to it going forward. All updates will be delivered to readers free of charge, no matter where you purchase this book.

Athletic Hall of Fame

The Gustavus Adolphus College Hall of Fame was established in 1978 at which time 19 "Charter Members" were inducted either as coaches or as athletes. As of the fall of 2019, 327 individuals (305 athletes, 15 coaches and 10 benefactors) have been elected to the Hall of Fame.

The beautiful Hall of Fame room on the second floor of the Lund Center was originally partially endowed by the families of both Dwight Holcombe's (the only father/son combination holding membership in the Hall). The hardwood plaque upon which the individual plates are permanently displayed was donated by the family of former football coach and Hall of Fame member Jocko Nelson, who passed away in 1978.

Leon Scheman

Baseball and Basketball

Inducted: 1983

Leon Scheman '29 earned three letters each in basketball and baseball at Gustavus. He entered Gustavus in 1924 but spent the '26-27 academic year at Univ. of Minn. and returned to St. Peter the next fall. The 1924-25 basketbalf team won the first Gustavus championship and he was named All MIAC center. The team won the championship again in 1925-26 and he was named All MIAC forward. fhe 1927-28 team also won the championship and he was All MIAC forward and high scorer for the year. Leon made the varsity football team as a halfback his freshman year but broke his left arm in a practice session. He didn't continue in the sport because he didn't want anything to interfere with his basketball playing. He played second base in varsity basebalf for three years.
The second semester of 1928-29 he did some barnstroming with a basketball team organized by George Halas of the Chicago Bears and played five nights a week in Minn, Wisc., Iowa, and Illinois, receiving $10 a game and expenses. In December 1930 he moved to California where he was employed by Security Bank and played on its basketball team, the Pacific Coast Club, The team was invited to the National AAU at Kansas City. While working at the bank he obtained his master's degree from USC. He then obtained a phy.ed. position in the Long Beach schools and spent 35 years in the Long Beach School System - the last 20 as supervisor of child welfare and attendance. He retired in 1971. His teaching career was interrupted from 1942-46 when he served as a Captain in the U.S, Air Force in the South Pacific. Leon's wife Dorothy died in November 1982. He continues to live in his home in Lakewood, Calif.

Revisiting the Dreyfus Affair: Robert Harris, An Officer and a Spy

Julie Kalman

Monash University

Perhaps it is the heightened effect of reviewing his book, but Robert Harris’s An Officer and a Spy seems suddenly to be everywhere. It has been reviewed in the mainstream press here in Australia just in time for summer holiday reading. The Guardian’s yearly parade of writers and critics listing their book of the year had journalist Simon Hoggart describing the novel as “taut and exciting […] gripping,” and this from a book “where you know the ending” before you pick it up.[1]

Harris has clearly crafted the story of the Dreyfus Affair into an appealing form. Of course, the Dreyfus Affair is the sort of tale novelists dream of. It contains a powerful combination of strong personalities and great drama. Indeed, the only personality in this story that does not leap off the page is that of the protagonist: the man who gives his name to the case. Alfred Dreyfus was famously diffident and reserved. He never satisfied the imagination of those who invested themselves in the Affair either to support or attack him. In many ways, this case presents more complexity than most fiction can handle.

Harris Officer SpySo is Harris’s attempt to draw a story out of these elements successful? Harris does not try to impose a personality on Dreyfus. Rather, he chooses to make Georges Picquart his central character and narrator. Picquart was Alsatian, a graduate of Saint-Cyr, chosen to report on Dreyfus’s court martial to General Mercier. Picquart, generally viewed as an antisemite, was appointed to head the Statistical Section when his fellow Alsatian, Colonel Jean Conrad Sandherr, became ill. It was Picquart who first concluded that Dreyfus was innocent, and he is one of the more fascinating characters in this story. His persistent pursuit of the truth, even at the expense of his own career, reminds us that we cannot simply write off figures like him for their anti-Semitism.. There is no doubt that Picquart made unpleasant statements about Jews. Yet while he professed himself to have been “terrified” when he realised that Captain Ferdinand Walsin-Esterhazy, and not Dreyfus, was the author of the incriminating document, he nonetheless brought the news of Esterhazy’s guilt to his superiors, and persisted in the face of their reluctance to receive his news. For this persistence, he was sent on missions, eventually ending up in Tunisia.

Harris picks up on one aspect of Picquart’s story. After Dreyfus was found guilty of treason, and before he was shipped off to Devil’s Island, he was subjected to a public degradation, where he was stripped of his insignia, and his sword was broken in two. Harris opens An Officer and a Spy with Picquart reporting to Mercier, Minister of War, on the degradation. But he fills out Picquart’s character, too. Harris gives him a difficult invalid mother. Picquart struggles with baser instincts. His mother is a burden, but he loves her. Picquart is also given a mistress, his childhood friend and sweetheart Pauline. At one point he takes a younger lover, and reflects on the fact that Pauline, at 40, gets undressed in the dark, while Blanche, at 25, basks in her nakedness. Were these signposts? Are we being prepared for Picquart’s other struggles? Is the existence of an invalid mother a way for the reader to identify with Picquart, while his later adventures might not be?

Harris seeks, too, to take the reader inside the army. He lets officers such as Picquart’s colleague at the Statistical Section, Henry, Minister of War, General Auguste Mercier, Deputy Chief of Staff Gonse and Chief of Staff Boisdeffre speak their minds, and in this way explains why they viewed Dreyfus as the perfect traitor. After all, if not Dreyfus, then it would have to be an insider, someone that these men were close to. If Dreyfus were guilty, then this rotten egg could easily be removed, and the army need barely be disturbed. In this way Harris vividly illustrates how Dreyfus’s Alsatian origins, his Jewishness, his personality, and his wealth combined to make him the ideal traitor. This is, perhaps, where the skilled novelist has license to do what the historian can’t, and generally won’t do. Harris brings the protagonists to life by giving them personal lives, putting words in their mouths, and letting them tell the story. This is how the Affair becomes a compelling tale in his hands.

Harris Petit JournalHis book’s claim to be compelling is made all the stronger because, as he tells us, it is based on historical research. He lists his sources in an appendix, and this lends his novel the authority of facts. Harris’s Picquart, Henry, and even Dreyfus are legitimated because of his reliance on George Whyte, Michael Burns, Jean-Denis Bredin, and Ruth Harris, not to mention his own primary research. This gives the reader a sense that history becomes intimate and knowable.

My experience of An Officer and a Spy, however, was that there were jarring notes that undermined my ability to suspend disbelief. Harris puts platitudes in the mouths of his characters, designed to communicate the feel of the era to its witness, Picquart, and thus to the reader. Thus, for example, from his sickbed, retired Colonel Sandherr tells Picquart that “This is why we lost in ’70 – the nation is no longer pure.” (46) General Gonse tells Picquart that it is impossible to review Dreyfus’s conviction since this “would tear the country apart.” (243) These explanatory passages read as though they have been pasted on. Minor details, such as Harris having his characters refer to the judge in Dreyfus’s trial as “Monsieur President,” come across as affectation since they are incorrect. (Surely the more accurate appellation in this case would Monsieur le Président, as in the French, or, just simply, Mr President.) Details such as this one niggle, because this is a book that makes claims to authority on the basis of deep research.

More significant, though, is the way that Harris deals with Picquart’s attitude to Dreyfus and to Jews more generally. Anti-Semitism – the term itself only recently developed – was not uncommon in fin de siècle France. Jews were often co-opted into discourses that expressed anxiety over the nation’s virility, following the terrible loss of 1870-1, and in the face of the bourgeois liberalism that now ruled. Early in the book, Harris has Picquart mouth antisemitic tropes. When Picquart witnessed the degradation, he describes Dreyfus being paraded before the crowd, as “a Jewish tailor counting the cost of all that gold braid going to waste. If he had a tape measure around his neck, he might be in a cutting room on the rue Auber.” (13) Harris also quotes the Jewish journalist and Dreyfusard Bernard Lazare’s statement that “Picquart is energetically anti-Semitic.” In response, Picquart muses:

How am I to answer this? Perhaps by observing that if the true measure of a man’s character, as Aristotle says, is his actions, then mine have hardly been those of an energetic anti-Semite. Still, there is nothing like an accusation of anti-Semitism to get all one’s old prejudices flowing, and I write bitterly to a friend: ‘I knew that one day I would be attacked by the Jews, and notably by the Dreyfuses…’ Thus our beautiful cause descends into tantrums, disappointment, reproaches and acrimony.

This is where the fictional genre undermines the story. Picquart’s attitudes to Jews were complex, and it is this, rather than an ailing mother or two mistresses, that makes him interesting and important. Tropes about Jews, his own origins in Alsace, his military nationalism, and a sense of justice that comes through in his actions, all battle within him. What is compelling and significant about Picquart is this tension between himself and his milieu. The Dreyfus Affair did not fall and rise as a “beautiful cause.” Rather, it was a complex knot from start to finish, and Picquart personifies this. I learned this from countless hours steeped in the historical context. And it is precisely context that suffers in Harris’s work. The historian in me wants to explore Picquart’s complexity, and reflect on the many possibilities it offers for understanding late-nineteenth century France. However, rather than allow Picquart to be conflicted, Harris redeems him. This involves, first, a telegram from Clemenceau appointing Picquart Minister of War. Second, in what Simon Hoggart admiringly calls “a terrific anticlimax – if that’s possible,” Harris stages an encounter between Alfred Dreyfus and Picquart. Their intimate conversation forms the epilogue to the book. Picquart, now a General, receives Dreyfus in his office. Dreyfus is still the awkward, stubborn man he has always been. He has come to see Picquart to insist that he should be promoted, in recognition of the years of service that he missed. Picquart is obliged to reply, “in exasperation,” that this is not possible. Yet, appalled by the way their only conversation will end, Picquart suggests to Dreyfus that he himself had only attained his high rank because of his involvement in the Affair, and thus because of Dreyfus himself. Dreyfus, with the privilege of the final word replies thus: “No, my General, […] “you attained it because you did your duty.” (479) With this narrative artifice – the only time that Dreyfus speaks, other than to proclaim his innocence before hostile crowds – Harris has the spy offer the officer a path to redemption. Or is it Dreyfus the officer who makes the offer to Picquart the spy? One of the interesting things about Harris’s book is this ambiguity at its heart.

Yet Hoggart’s admiration of what he perceives as a climactic anticlimax is significant. (I don’t agree with his reading, I must say. To me, it reads more like quiet triumph. It is no accident that Harris gives Dreyfus the last word and that it is addressed to Picquart.) Harris has captured the inherent drama in this story. He offers us insight into the psychology of the main characters, which comes to life in his skilled hands. He has magnified the strong personalities, and made Picquart central, accessible and just likeable enough to carry us through. Yet Harris’s complexity is not that of an historical work, and here lies the tension between the response of a fiction lover and that of an historian, between the ways in which Harris’s book does and doesn’t work. His is not the complexity that an historian would seek to bring to light: the interaction between people, events, and their context. In this sense, fiction cannot trump historical research.

However, there are ways in which An Officer and a Spy supplements the historical narrative. The give-and-take between these different aspirations to convey different sorts of truths is what made Harris’s book a frustrating read. But this tension also makes An Officer and a Spy a useful way to think about the ways in which historical writing and fiction can overlap, compete, and complement one another.

OpenFixture Takes The Pain Out Of Pogo Pins

[Elliot] (no relation, but hey, cool name!) wrote in with his OpenFixture model for OpenSCAD. It’s awesome because it takes a small problem, that nonetheless could consume an entire day, and solves it neatly. And that problem is making jigs to test assembled electrical products: a PCB test fixture.

In the PCB design software, you simply note down the locations of the test points and feed these into the OpenSCAD model. ([Elliot] shows you exactly how to do it using KiCAD.) There are a few more parameters of the model that you can tweak to match your particulars, but you should have a DXF outline for a test jig in short order. Cut that out, assemble, and test.

If you have to make more than a few handfuls of a complicated circuit, it becomes worth it to start thinking about testing them systematically. And with this OpenSCAD model, you can have the test jig up and running before the first prototype boards are back in from the fab. How cool is that?

6 thoughts on “OpenFixture Takes The Pain Out Of Pogo Pins

  1. Nice! For a recent project I designed a separate board for programming/testing with the same dimensions as the target. The programmer board mounts the pogo pins and standard headers for connections. I have been looking for a good way to hold the boards together during programming, and this “waffle-maker” design looks like just the thing.

  2. This is a constrained set of his more general problem, but the boards I’ve made, I put in a through-hole via for each test point, and then use the drillfile to drill holes in a chunk of nylon sheet that the pogo pins press into. (And then cut a board-shaped recess in a nylon standoff on one side, and a sprung latch on the other, so I can pop a board in, snap it into the latch, and run the test program: handling time about two seconds per board.)

  3. Glad you guys like it! There’s been some more development. I’m almost done with a python script which takes a .kicad_pcb file and generates the laser cuttable dxf (current work in up in git repo). The only mandatory inputs now are pcb thickness and material (acrylic) thickness. When the kicad guys finish the python plugin architecture I plan on adding it there so it can all be generated from Pcbnew.

  4. A brilliant tool!! We’ve made one at rLab, but there were a few tweaks needed for our cutter and pogo pins, and some improvements that I can see that might be made…how should we do that? Fork the github repo and make the tweaks on our own copy? For general stuff/suggestions raise issues on your github?

Prestretched Fabric Prints Pop Into The Third Dimension

Printing on fabric might be a familiar trick, but adding stretch into the equation gives our fabric prints the ability to reconstitute themselves back into 3D. That’s exactly what [Gabe] has accomplished; he’s developed a script that takes open 3d meshes and converts them to a hexagonal pattern that, when 3D-printed on a stretched fabric, lets them pop into 3D upon relaxing the fabric.

[Gabe’s] algorithm first runs an open 3D surface through the “Boundary-First Flattening Algorithm,” which gives [Gabe] a 2D mesh of triangles. Triangles are then mapped to hexagons based on size, which produces a landscape of 2D hexagons. Simply printing this hexagonal pattern onto prestretched fabric defines the shape of the object that will surface when the fabric is allowed to relax. As for how to wrap our heads around the mapping algorithm, as [Gabe] explains it, “The areas that experienced the most shrinkage in the flattening process should experience the least shrinkage when the fabric contracts after printing, and the regions that experienced little to no shrinkage in the flattening process should contract as much as possible in the fabric representation.”

If that seems tricky to visualize, just imagine taking a cheap halloween mask and trying to crush it flat onto a table. To smush it perfectly flat, some sections need to stretch while others need to shrink. Once flat though, we can simply keep stretching to remove all the sections that needed to shrink. At this point, if our material were extremely elastic, we could simply let go and watch our rubber mask jump back into 3D. That’s the secret behind [Gabe’s] hexagonal pattern. The size and spacing of these hexagons limit the degree to which local regions of the fabric are allowed to contract. In our rubber mask example, the sections that we stretched out the furthest have the most to travel, so they should contract as much as possible, while the sections that shrank in the initial flattening (although we kept stretching until they too needed to stretch) should shrink the least.

We’ve seen some classy fabric-printing tricks in the past. If you’re hungry for more 3D printing on fabric, have a look at [David Shorey’s] flexible fabric designs.

Thanks for the tip, [Amy]!

17 thoughts on “Prestretched Fabric Prints Pop Into The Third Dimension

  1. This is extremely clever. I definitely want to try this out. I’ve used that flattening algorithm to make UV maps for 3d objects before, but I’d never think to use it like this.

  2. Now replace “fabric” with “steel mesh”, and replace “plastic” with “concrete”, and you get yourself a method to create complex curved light and strong surfaces of prestressed concrete. Architects should go crazy on this.

        1. Sure – but not stretchy enough for this. If it was then it wouldn’t be much use for reinforcing concrete where the strength of the steel under tension complements the concrete which is lacking in just this area.

          1. That’s why steel springs are in the shape of coils. You could make a grid of coil springs welded at their intersection and stretch them just like this fabric. I would think you’d want to have a curved part of your building stressed to be more curved not more flat but I guess you could do that too.

      1. It wouldn’t be very good for a bra. A bra needs to maintain its shape, a bit of stretch makes them more generic, and more comfortable for breasts which fluctuate in size, but too much stretch and the garment may as well be a t-shirt.

          1. Haha. I suspect the better bet for both bra and codpiece would be a custom printed plastic object made with the exact measurements of the wearer in mind.

  3. OLED screens could benefit from this. We could use this fabric as a flexible “back board” for the screen.
    For example – Imagine an OLED screen that needs to roll up into a tube when stored.
    When in use – the fabric could stiffen so that the OLED screen becomes a flat viewable surface.

Never Again Education Act Signed Into Law

Unite States Holocaust Memorial Museum. (USHMM)

The Never Again Education Act (H.R.943), sponsored by Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY), was signed into law on Friday, May 29. The legislation supports Holocaust education across the country by bolstering the already expansive educational resources at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM).

The Never Again Education Act passed in the House of Representatives on January 27, known as International Holocaust Remembrance Day, by an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote of 393-5,.and it passed the Senate by unanimous consent on May 13.

“The bipartisan Never Again Education Act is finally law,” Congresswoman Maloney said. “I’m proud our country has come together to make clear that antisemitism cannot and should not be tolerated. Our children are not born with hate in their hearts, and by providing educators with the tools they need to teach about the Holocaust, we can ensure they never learn it. Teaching our children about the dangers of antisemitism and hate is a proactive way to stop antisemitism before it even starts.”

H.R.943 expands the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum’s education programming to teachers across the country, funds a centralized website maintained by the Holocaust Museum where educators can find curriculum materials, and finances expansion of the Museum’s professional development programs.

$10 million dollars was allocated over 5 years for these activities.
