An extremely interesting laser-cut wooden concept jigsaw that I bought from the American supplier, Nervous System. Out of the blue, before my order arrived, another copy came up on ebay. I won this, thinking that it would allow me to double the size of the jigsaw, and display all of the image at once. The jigsaw image maps to a klein bottle, so only half the entire image can be seen at once and the 2-sided pieces can be flipped over and rejoined elsewhere, so that the jigsaw has a non-fixed outline. (I hesitate to say infinitely variable perimeter - because that's way beyond my university 'maths for scientists' level of comprehension.)
This is the third time I've assembled a copy of this jigsaw. We took it to the March 2018 BCD meeting - but it seemed to scare all the (extremely sensible) members present. I completed it at home - a third outline emerged even though I followed the same general assembly strategy.
On Saturday, October 7, more than 1,700 of Rochester Regional Health’s friends and employees gathered at the Joseph A. Floreano Rochester Riverside Convention Center for the system’s signature celebration.

Beginning with its construction in 1910 and continuing into the late 1960s and 1970s, these reforms continued to address the primary school needs of the northern portion of the neighborhood of Northside. It is also significant under Criterion A for the role the school played in the physical and cultural development of the community. With residential development of the neighborhood, especially during the late-19th and early-20th century, the community required a new modern public primary school that functioned with the existing Salmon P. Chase School in fulfilling the public educational needs of the community. As Northside developed, matured, and maintained its neighborhood vibrancy into the 1970s, the school was an active contributor to and facilitator of a variety of neighborhood functions beyond those basic to the educational role of a school. These included activities that resulted from the school being open to numerous community wide programs and events. In addition, the school is significant under Criterion C for its architectural distinction associated with its Neo-Classical Revival-inspired design and for the high level of intact original design integrity. The building is one of a very few Neo-Classical Revival schools designed for the Cincinnati school system during the early 20th century.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Some of the state’s most remarkable students gathered March 10 for the University of Missouri System’s annual Undergraduate Research Day at the Capitol in Jefferson City.
In total, 59 students from the university’s four campuses discussed their work with senators, representatives and other visitors. Each student was selected in a competitive process and recommended by his or her campus, including 30 from the MU campus; 10 from UMKC; 16 from Missouri S&T; and three from UMSL. The students shared their research from a variety of disciplines including criminology, biology, education, engineering, and political science.
"Research has been fundamental to the University of Missouri since it became a land-grant university more than 150 years ago,” Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, Research and Economic Development Hank Foley said. “Research exposes students to the wonders and possibilities of research and innovation, and helps develop them as future scientists and entrepreneurs whose discoveries could result in new businesses and jobs, and improve the quality of life for Missourians.”
With research core to its mission, the UM System accounts for 96.9 percent of all research conducted by public universities in Missouri.
“No other public higher education institution in the state provides undergraduate students with the breadth and depth of research opportunities as the UM System,” Vice President for University Relations Steve Knorr said. “Giving our students an opportunity to showcase their work at the state Capitol with their own hometown legislators spreads the value message for higher education on a greater level.”
The UM System is one of the nation’s largest public research and doctoral level institutions with more than 77,000 students on four campuses and an extension program with activities in every county of the state.
On Saturday, October 7, more than 1,700 of Rochester Regional Health’s friends and employees gathered at the Joseph A. Floreano Rochester Riverside Convention Center for the system’s signature celebration.

We had with us a DSLR (borrowed from a friend), so that I could do some testing with it. Never used one before, so it was an interesting experience. Gave me more confidence, so maybe one day I'll get myself one.
Kirby Road School
Cincinnati, Ohio
Listed 9/3/2013
Reference Number: 13000681
The Kirby Road School is significant under Criterion A for its association with the Cincinnati school system's implementation of educational reforms during the Progressive Movement in Cincinnati. Various changes were made resulting in a new school that provided a broader range of teaching, classroom, and school site reforms that addressed the educational development of schools in general and within the Cincinnati neighborhood of Northside. Beginning with its construction in 1910 and continuing into the late 1960s and 1970s, these reforms continued to address the primary school needs of the northern portion of the neighborhood of Northside. It is also significant under Criterion A for the role the school played in the physical and cultural development of the community. With residential development of the neighborhood, especially during the late-19th and early-20th century, the community required a new modern public primary school that functioned with the existing Salmon P. Chase School in fulfilling the public educational needs of the community. As Northside developed, matured, and maintained its neighborhood vibrancy into the 1970s, the school was an active contributor to and facilitator of a variety of neighborhood functions beyond those basic to the educational role of a school. These included activities that resulted from the school being open to numerous community wide programs and events. In addition, the school is significant under Criterion C for its architectural distinction associated with its Neo-Classical Revival-inspired design and for the high level of intact original design integrity. The building is one of a very few Neo-Classical Revival schools designed for the Cincinnati school system during the early 20th century.
