it was my teaching of outdoor portrait , we invited the pretty 茹茹 to be our model, i taught the students of photography class about 20 persons, from the composition , light , expression etc...practing every motion, thanks 茹茹,she did her best model job and the co-operation of students ,they did learn something about this portrait of practice
The standard resistor of the 1950s to early 1970s. Make from a ceramic tube filled with a mixture of carbon and filler materials (the "composition"). Lack of a tolerance band means they're +/- 20%.
I made these for my nieces in college. The pattern is by Indygo Junction. I LOVED fussy cutting the truck and donkey from Violet Craft's Madrona Road.

Bigmore et Wyman says:
"This little work, [first] published and printed by the firm of Didot Pere et fils, is a practical typographical manual, treating every branch of composition and press work. It is quite a gem from a typographic point of view. Firmin Didot superintended the printing, and the book possesses the singular feature of not containing one divided word throughout."
SØS Gunver Ryberg explores arctic natural sounds of melting glacier ice, snow and the sea in her sound and video installation ARCTIC between 74º N - 81º N. The sound and video recordings are from her own artistic research expedition in arctic sound and are the first in a series of compositions.

Hot springs are sites where groundwater emerges at the surface and the water is hotter than the human body. In many cases, hot spring water is boiling hot, or close to it. At Yellowstone in Wyoming, most hot spring water precipitates opal (hydrous silica, SiO2·nH2O), resulting in buildups of geyserite, a chemical sedimentary rock. Some Yellowstone hot springs precipitate calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Seen here is a hot spring in Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas. The rocky buildup is calcium carbonate. Chemical sedimentary rocks of calcareous composition formed by hot spring water include "calcareous tufa" and "travertine". I'm not entirely convinced there is a difference - the terms are often used interchangeably. My understanding is that "calcareous tufa" (a horrible term, by the way) is a porous, friable precursor to travertine. Travertine also forms in caves (calcareous speleothem) and at some cold springs.
My understanding is that the original tufa/travertine deposits here have long since been destroyed. The layout of hot springs and the drainage patterns are all artificial. The modification took place to accommodate the need to pipe hot water to nearby bathhouses in early days. Tufa/travertine deposits now at the site are probably all secondary.

From park signage:
Thermal Cascade was designed to recreate the natural scene of hot spring water cascading down tufa cliffs. In cool weather the vapor is reminiscent of the clouds that once billowed from open springs along the lower slope.

Tufa Terraces
Before the bathhouse era, this lower side of the mountain was covered with massive terraces of tufa (travertine). Tufa is mostly calcium carbonate, which precipitates out as the spring water cools. In 1834 a British geologist observed that “The travertine . . . sometimes presents abrupt vertical faces of from 15 to 25 feet high.” Tufa formations are still visible along this trail.
After a short ascent past tufa outcroppings and the Thermal Cascade, Tufa Terrace Trail crosses the Grand Promenade. From there you can reach the Peak Trail and continue up Hot Springs Mountain.

THIS VALLEY, LONG KNOWN BY THE INDIANS AS “TAH-NE-CO,” “THE PLACE OF THE HOT WATERS,” AND ACCORDING TO TRADITION REGARDED BY THE DIFFERENT TRIBES AS NEUTRAL GROUND, WAS FIRST VISITED BY WHITE MEN ON SEPTEMBER 16, 1541, WHEN HERNANDO DE SOTO AND HIS MEN CAMPED IN THIS VICINITY AND WERE LED HERE BY THE INDIANS. ACCORDING TO RECORDS OF RODERIGO RONJEL, SECRETARY TO DE SOTO, AND THE “GENTLEMAN OF ELVAS,” WHO WAS ALSO A MEMBER OF THE COMPANY, THEY BATHED IN THE HOT WATERS AND DEPARTED OCTOBER 5, 1541.
THIS MARKER IS PLACED HERE BY THE HOT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS, CHAPTER OF THE DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
