From the Dickenson County Historical Museum - another part of our delightful trip to Abilene. I have heard of and seen pictures of the Coleman Arc Lantern - but had never seen one in-person.
Coleman collecting is/was a pretty good part of my life - and this was a real treat to see. Not at all sure how it works - or even if this is assembled correctly or is even functional
Update Jan 17, 2011
Guess I still have not seen an arc lantern as this is actually an "Efficiency" Lamp - in the style that inspired Mr. Coleman to buy the company and begin a wonderful journey bringing affordable light to millions worldwide. Here is some more info - info
August 4, 2011, Albany - Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signs The Power NY Act of 2011, an omnibus energy package that encourages new investments in electric generating facilities across New York and creates the nation's first statewide "on-bill" recovery program to increase energy efficiency for homeowners and businesses.
The new law will create thousands of jobs and set the state on a course of reliable, cleaner energy while strengthening environmental protections.
One of the few cells we found that still had items from the last prisoner. Helms Prison was built in 1896 and closed in 1995 after several riots in the 1970s and a reputation for prison abuse and unethical pharmaceutical and biochemical weapons research on prisoners. It was reopened recently to house weekend prisoners and is used for police training.

Multiple forms of Ecosystems can be found in Nature possessing remarkable efficiencies. Jones (2008) explains that the term Ecomimicry describes the mimicking of natural Ecosystems and translating it to the human scale.
An Ecosystem represents the interaction between a living organism and its environment creating systems to improve the living conditions of its community additionally increasing the amount of outputs from the same inputs. ‘The more that Ecosystems mature, the more they enhance their environment and allow greater diversity,’ (Pawlyn, 2011). Ecosystems create cycles to recirculate waste using a minimum of energy.
Sustainability is the concept of durability consisting in creating a positive evolution over time, having the capacity to endure without destroying itself. To achieve Sustainability it is essential to restore the relationship between Nature and the environment that we build. ‘Sustainability is as much about keeping buildings in existence as it is about constructing new low-impact efficient designs’ (Kellert, 2008). ‘Sustainability goes hand-in-hand with a new respect for Nature coming from biophilia’ explains Kellert. In term of Architecture, Sustainability begins with taking care of the existing buildings. Including the notion of Sustainability in new Architecture could improve the quality of life. ‘As humanity’s expectations and population have grown, our vision of environmental Sustainability must radically evolve into a different picture than the snapshot from pre-industrial times’ ad Kellert (2008).
In Nature we can find great insect builders such as the habitat of the Thermites. They developed a system for natural air circulation powered by the sun to regulate the varying temperatures in different areas of their mound explains Senosiain (2003). Those underground megacities are built with a zero-waste method of construction. Adapted to the human scale we can compare those mounds to cathedrals. ‘The form of termite mounds can be explained as elaborate systems for thermal control in order to create optimum egg-laying conditions for the queen termite and ideal temperatures for fungus farming’ (Pawlyn, 2012). This ingenious control of air circulation is created by ventilation tubes that thermites can open or close depending of the temperature inside the mound. Thermites also create thermal storage build in strategic areas of the mound.
On the outside, thermites build external shading devices to protect their habitat against the sun and prevent overheat.
The architect Mick Pearce (2012) describes a building he designed called Eastgate Development Harare in Zimbabwe (fig. 22) were he used passive ventilation to regulate the temperature in based on ‘the way that termites construct their nest to ventilate, cool and heat’.
Ecosystems are largely represented in forests such as the tropical forests described as ‘Incubator of life’ by National Geographic. Tropical rainforests can be seen has a complete Ecosystem representing a large biodiversity. It manages to keep the same temperatures all year long and produces a large amount of oxygen from carbon dioxide for the species living in it. The evaporation of water coming from trees is transformed to rain forming a cycle. Tropical forests are arranged in four layers. The emergent layer consists of gigantic and strong trees that protect those under. The next layer consists of trees forming a canopy and protecting from the strong sunlight. The next one is found between the canopy and the forest ground called the understory and creating a dark and cool area. Finally, the forest ground is composed of plants and trees in decomposition creating resources, habitat and food for the insects. Grimshaw architects designed in 2005 a project called Eco-Rainforest that ‘aims to recreate a piece of Amazonian rainforest as faithfully as possible’. The project had to respond to the demand of a client asking for a carbon-neutral botanical visitor attraction.

A building only constituted in straight lines do not invite the brain to creativity. How can we be inspired by nature? Is it possible to adapt those habitats to human?
The essay has demonstrated a large variety of application from the natural world generated by the science of Biomimicry. It presented the status of technologies that architects are currently using. Creating a bridge between science and Architecture could be seen as the beginning of a new era improving both the environment and human life quality.

Governments, various environmentalist organizations, and companies like Toyota and Shell Oil Company have historically urged drivers to maintain adequate air pressure in tires and careful acceleration/deceleration
habits. Keeping track of fuel efficiency stimulates fuel economy-maximizing behavior

Regierungen und verschiedene Umweltorganisationen und Unternehmen wie Toyota und Shell Oil Company haben in der Vergangenheit die Autofahrer dazu angehalten, einen angemessenen Luftdruck in den Reifen zu halten und vorsichtig zu beschleunigen/abzubremsen
Gewohnheiten.
Wie wir bereits erwähnt haben, fällt der Reifendruck im Winter deutlich ab. Somit verringert sich der Reifendruck zwischen 20 Grad und 0 Grad Celsius von 2.0 Bar auf 1,8 Bar.
RDKS Reifendruckkontrollsystem
(Engl.: TPMS / Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) ·
Der Reifendruck kann aufgrund von kaltem Wetter sinken und dieser verminderte Druck kann die Ursache dafür sein, dass das RDKS-Warnlicht AUFLEUCHTET.
Während sich der Reifen unter normalen Fahrbedingungen erwärmt, kann sich das Warnlicht AUSSCHALTEN.
Die Verfolgung der Kraftstoffeffizienz stimuliert ein kraftstoffsparendes Verhalten - >Fahrtenbuch.
Luftdruck beachten
der Innenseite der B-Säule: Je nach Zuladung !
Als optimal gilt bei Pkws ein Reifendruck von ungefähr 2,5 Bar. Es gibt allerdings verschiedene Werte je nach Reifen- und Autoherstellern, auf die man im besten Fall achten sollte.
Reifendruck (ggf. vorn / hinten): 2.6 / 2,5
Meine Empfehlung für bis zu 2 Personen
Hoher Luftdruck: Weniger Komfort! Liegt aber satt auf der Straße und in der Kurve!
Winterreifen 2,7 bei Kälte! nötig!

Kraftstoff Super Plus : 98 Oktan
Bei der Benzinverbrennung im Motor kann bei einer zu niedrigen Oktanzahl ein Klopfen auftreten, das auf eine unkontrollierte Verbrennung oder Verpuffung zurückzuführen ist.
Im Rahmen von Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung der Luftqualität wurden im Jahr 2000 für die Europäische Union die gesetzlichen Anforderungen an Fahrzeug- und Kraftstoffeigenschaften erhöht; seit dem 01.01.2009 schreibt der Gesetzgeber eine Mindestquote von 2,8 % biogenem Energieanteil vor. Die Eigenschaften und die Qualität bleiben dabei unverändert.
Warum muss ein Kraftstoff flexibel sein?
Auch unter extremen Temperaturbedingungen (zum Beispiel eine Frostnacht oder ein Neustart nach langer Fahrt mit kurzer Pause) muss der Motor problemlos anspringen. Dabei sollte er im Leerlauf ruhig laufen und auch bei höchster Belastung noch regelmäßig arbeiten. Außerdem sollten sich keine Rückstände im Ansaugsystem, Brennraum oder in der Ölwanne bilden.
Zwar sind nicht alle diese Leistungen ausschließlich kraftstoffbedingt, aber Markenkraftstoffe sind zum Beispiel aufgrund ihrer speziell auf Temperaturunterschiede ausgerichteten Zusammensetzung sehr flexibel und somit entscheidend für die reibungslose Leistungsfähigkeit eines Motors.

Increase Efficiency and Agent Talk Time - The Tpad system predicts when agents will finish the current call, and the SIP Dialler system will dial out another phone line while agents are still talking to customers. The phone call is passed to an agent instantly after a customer picks up the phone. It takes 30 seconds to manually dial a phone number and let it ring four times. If the customer doesn't answer the agent has to remember this and call the customer later.
