The Millennium Link was an ambitious £84.5m project with the objective of restoring navigability across Scotland on the historic Forth & Clyde Canal and Union Canal, providing a corridor of regenerative activity through central Scotland.
A major challenge faced, was to link the Forth and Clyde Canal, which lay 35m (115ft) below the level of the Union Canal. Historically, the two canals had been joined at Falkirk by a flight of 11 locks that stepped down across a distance of 1.5km, but these has been dismantled in 1933, breaking the link.
What was required was a method of connecting these two canals by way of a boat lift. British Waterways were keen to present a visionary solution taking full advantage of the opportunity to create a truly spectacular and fitting structure that would suitably commemorate the Millennium and act as an iconic symbol for years to come.
The Falkirk Wheel lies at the end of a reinforced concrete aqueduct that connects, via the Roughcastle tunnel and a double staircase lock, to the Union Canal. Boats entering the Wheel’s upper gondola are lowered, along with the water that they float in, to the basin below. At the same time, an equal weight rises up, lifted in the other gondola. This works on the Archimedes principle of displacement. That is, the mass of the boat sailing into the gondola will displace an exactly proportional volume of water so that the final combination of ‘boat plus water’ balances the original total mass.
Each gondola runs on small wheels that fit into a single curved rail fixed on the inner edge of the opening on each arm. In theory, this should be sufficient to ensure that they always remain horizontal, but any friction or sudden movement could cause the gondola to stick or tilt. To ensure that this could never happen and that the water and boats always remain perfectly level throughout the whole cycle, a series of linked cogs acts as a back up.

Welcome to the homepage of the Federal Gymnasium Babenbergerring!
BG Babenbergerring
Founded in 1666 as a Jesuit College, the today's Bundesgymnasium belongs to the oldest academic secondary schools in Lower Austria.
Sense of tradition and future orientation determine our objectives. Through various types of education offering a broad range of compulsory and free choice items from the linguistic, social and natural sciences our graduates all fields of study are open.
We set ourselves the goal to identify and promote the individual abilities and interests of our students (male and female ones), to educate them to independent thinking and critical judgments, independent action and to give them the ability to cope with complex projects alone or in team.
We are aware that in order to achieve those objectives on the part of everyone involved an appropriate level of motivation must be present, and therefore we expect of our students (Schülerinnen and Schüler) and their parents that they identify themselves with our vision of a humane, at the same time but also performance-oriented school .

History
© Tobisch
Wiener Neustadt, capital of the district under the Vienna Woods (Wiener Wald), owes its origin to the Babenbergerherzögen (Babenberg dukes) Leopold V. and Leopold VI . 1194 Leopold V decided in Steinfeld - then part of the Duchy of Styria - to build a fortified town to protect the local trade route against incursions from the east. He died only a little later, so his son realized this plan and is regarded as the true founder. The Nova civitatis or Neustatt - the name "Wiener Neustadt" or "Viennese New Town" arose only in the 17th Century - is the largest founding city of Lower Austria and was financed from the ransom for the English King Richard the Lionheart.
The generous privileges by the princes created the basis for the economic development of the city . Middle of the 13th Century was built at the southeast corner the castle, in 1279 the late Romanesque church was consecrated. The city was the site of numerous orders, including the Dominicans, the Franciscans and the German Order, as well as a large Jewish community (center on the present Allerheiligenplatz ) with a far beyond the borders famous Talmudic school. A masterpiece of Gothic architecture is the "(female) spinner at the Cross", one in the 80s of the 14th Century built stone Wegsäule (way column) before the northern gate.
A climax experienced Wiener Neustadt under the Emperor Frederick III. (1440-1493) as an imperial residence. The presence of the court and the political prominence led to a lively construction activity. Friedrich III. donated two Canon monasteries and prompted the establishment of other religious orders such as the Cistercians (New Monastery - Neukloster), the Pauline Hermits and the St. George Order of Knights, whose seat was moved in 1479 from Millstatt (Carinthia) to Wiener Neustadt. 1469 allowed the Pope the establishment of an - albeit small - diocese. The city, called by Frederick the 'forever faithful", received from the emperor the right to keep the double eagle (1452), as well as to promote trade a Niederlagsprivileg (staple right -1448), which forced the merchants to offer their goods in the city. The revenues should contribute to redress for damages caused by the fire of 1433.
In the conflicts between the Emperor and the estates of the Duchy of Austria because of the guardianship over King Ladislaus it came in late August 1452 to the siege of Wiener Neustadt, Friedrich III. forcing to release Ladislaus from the guardianship. Towards the end of his reign the well-fortified city finally had to capitulate after a nearly 17-month siege by the Hungarians in 1487 and open the gates to the Hungarian king Matthias Corvinus. The so-called "Corvinusbecher - cup of Corvinus", a richly decorated ceremonial cup, still reminds us of that time. Three years later, Frederick's son Maximilian I conquered the city back.
A few years after the death of Frederick III. (1493), who was pursuing a pro-Jewish policy, the large and for its scholars widely famous Jewish community was disbanded. 1496 Maximilian I ordered the expulsion of all Jews in Styria, in Wiener Neustadt and Neunkirchen. The last Jews left in 1500 their hometown, the synagogue became a Allerheiligenkapelle (chapel of All Saints). 1519 Maximilian was buried in his native town under the high altar of St. George's Chapel. His magnificent tomb, the "Black Mannder", remained, however, contrary to his wishes in Innsbruck. Under his grandson and successor Ferdinand I. Wiener Neustadt 1522 became venue of the trial against the leading members of the Estates opposition, which ended with nine death sentences and as "Wiener Neustadt blood Court (Wiener Neustädter Blutgericht)" went down in history.
In the 16th Century the city lost, only rarely princely residence, in importance. Due to its border location, it had till the beginning of the 18th century to suffer under the incursions of the Ottomans and later the Kuruzzes, but the heavily fortified city never could be captured. The Reformation reached its peak around 1570/1580 in Wiener Neustadt, but was re-Catholicised after the establishment of the counter-reformer Melchior Klesl as administrator of the diocese (1588) in no time. The Baroque period was characterized by a number of monastic foundations, such as the Capuchins, the Carmelites (Karmeliter (m) and Karmeliterinnen (f)), the foundation of the Jesuit College with High School (1666) and the Jesuit residence in the suburbs (1743). During this time, Wiener Neustadt was again the scene of an execution creating a sensation at home and abroad: 1671 were two prominent participants of the "magnate conspiracy", Peter Graf Zrinský and Franz Frangepan, beheaded in the courtyard of the armory.
Of greatest significance for the city became the by Maria Theresa in 1752 as cadet school founded "Theresan Military Academy" in the imperial castle. Under her son Joseph II some for the development of Wiener Neustadt significant changes took place: in 1785 the diocese was moved to St. Pölten, already several years earlier, all the monasteries with the exception of the monastery Neukloster had been canceled. In the premises which had become vacant in the aftermath manufactories have been created. Wiener Neustadt became the industrial center of south-eastern Lower Austria, where the heavy industry dominated. Given its economic importance, the city with the law of 8 August 1866 a municipality statute and thus the law of the country immediacy was awarded.
The in 1842 by Günther Wenzel founded locomotive factory, the in 1899 established Daimler-Werke, headed from 1906 to 1923 by the famous designer Ferdinand Porsche and the term "Austro-Daimler" giving international recognition as well as the in 1909 created first Austrian airfield made Wiener Neustadt to one the most important industrial cities of the monarchy and to the center of aviation. The closing of those factories in the Great Depression of the interwar period left thousands of people unemployed. Under the Nazi rule, the city became the center of armaments production. The aircraft plants delivered in 1940 a quarter of the total production of the Me-109 fighters (Messerschmitt fighter plants), in the former locomotive factory established the "Rax-Werke", building the locomotive tender and from 1943 A-4 rockets. Due to the concentration of industry important to the war economy was Wiener Neustadt in the years 1943 to 1945 the target of a total of 29 air attacks and more than 50,000 bombs. The city was almost completely destroyed, about 1000 people died, not even 20 of the 4000 houses remained intact.
During the occupation time, the longtime mayor Rudolf Wehrl (1945-1965) attempted the reconstruction, which was completed in 1955 for the most part. In the second half of the 20th Century, Wiener Neustadt again became the economic and cultural center of the south-eastern Lower Austria.

Harvesting Objectives
Logging is, of course, the only way to implement
objectives that focus on the generation of revenue
from timber production. However, it is also a key step
in the development of other management goals. For
example, if you wish to create new forest stands,
whether they are single-species plantations or
mixed-species multi-age natural stands, harvesting is
generally necessary to create the appropriate site
conditions (available sunlight, reduced competitive
vegetation, bare mineral soil) for the establishment
and growth of new seedlings. The type and amount of
regeneration will significantly depend on the
harvesting method that is employed. Similarly,
harvesting is necessary if you want to alter stand
structure, shapes and boundaries to create desirable
aesthetic patterns.
Business is An organization where good and services are selling and purchasing for money is called the business”. Before starting your business you have to decide about the goals and business objectives. Some business objectives like Customer services, Competitive Analysis, Change Management, Growth etc.

6,993 m - Machapuchare, "Fish Tail" in English, is a mountain in the Annapurna Himal of north central Nepal. It is revered by the local population as particularly sacred to the god Shiva, and hence is off limits to climbing.
Machhapuchare is at the end of a long spur ridge, coming south out of the main backbone of the Annapurna Himal, that forms the eastern boundary of the Annapurna Sanctuary. (The Sanctuary is a favorite trekking destination, and the site of the base camps for the South Face of Annapurna and for numerous smaller objectives.) The peak is about 25 km north of Pokhara, the main town of the region.
Machapuchare has never been climbed to its summit. The only attempt was in 1957 by a British team led by Jimmy Roberts. Climbers Wilfrid Noyce and A. D. M. Cox climbed to within 50 m of the summit via the north ridge, but did not complete the ascent; they had promised not to set foot on the actual summit. Since then, the mountain has been declared sacred, and it is now forbidden to climbers.

The Himalayas or Himalaya (/ˌhɪməˈleɪ.ə/ or /hɪˈmɑːləjə/) is a mountain range in the Indian subcontinent, which separates the Indo-Gangetic Plain from the Tibetan Plateau. Geopolitically, it covers the Himalayan states and regions. This range is home to nine of the ten highest peaks on Earth, including the highest above sea level, Mount Everest. The Himalayas have profoundly shaped the cultures of South Asia. Many Himalayan peaks are sacred in Dharmic religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism.
The Himalayas are bordered on the north by the Tibetan Plateau, on the south by the Indo-Gangetic Plain, on the northwest by the Karakoram and Hindu Kush ranges and on the east by the Indian states of Sikkim, the Darjeeling district of West Bengal, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur. The Hindu Kush, Karakoram and Himalayas together form the "Hindu Kush Himalayan Region" (HKH). The western anchor of the Himalayas, Nanga Parbat, lies just south of the northernmost bend of the Indus River; the eastern anchor, Namcha Barwa, is just west of the great bend of the Yarlung Tsangpo River. The Himalayas span five countries: Nepal, India, Bhutan, China (Tibet), and Pakistan, the first three countries having sovereignty over most of the range.
Lifted by the collision of the Indian tectonic plate with the Eurasian Plate, the Himalayan range runs northwest to southeast in a 2,400-kilometre-long arc. The range varies in width from 400 kilometres in the west to 150 kilometres in the east. Besides the Greater Himalayas, there are several parallel lower ranges. The southernmost, along the northern edge of the Indian plains and reaching 1000 m in altitude, is the Sivalik Hills. Further north is a higher range, reaching 2000–3000 m, known as the Lower Himalayan Range.
Three of the world's major rivers (the Indus, the Ganges and the Brahmaputra) arise in the Himalayas. While the Indus and the Brahmaputra rise near Mount Kailash in Tibet, the Ganges rises in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. Their combined drainage basin is home to some 600 million people.
ETYMOLOGY
The name Himālaya is from Sanskrit: hima (snow) + ālaya (dwelling), and literally means "abode of snow"
ECOLOGY
The flora and fauna of the Himalayas vary with climate, rainfall, altitude, and soils. The climate ranges from tropical at the base of the mountains to permanent ice and snow at the highest elevations. The amount of yearly rainfall increases from west to east along the southern front of the range. This diversity of altitude, rainfall and soil conditions combined with the very high snow line supports a variety of distinct plant and animal communities. The extremes of high altitude (low atmospheric pressure) combined with extreme cold favor extremophile organisms.
The unique floral and faunal wealth of the Himalayas is undergoing structural and compositional changes due to climate change. The increase in temperature is shifting various species to higher elevations. The oak forest is being invaded by pine forests in the Garhwal Himalayan region. There are reports of early flowering and fruiting in some tree species, especially rhododendron, apple and box myrtle. The highest known tree species in the Himalayas is Juniperus tibetica located at 4,900 metres in Southeastern Tibet.
GEOLOGY
The Himalayan range is one of the youngest mountain ranges on the planet and consists mostly of uplifted sedimentary and metamorphic rock. According to the modern theory of plate tectonics, its formation is a result of a continental collision or orogeny along the convergent boundary between the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. The Arakan Yoma highlands in Myanmar and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal were also formed as a result of this collision.
During the Upper Cretaceous, about 70 million years ago, the north-moving Indo-Australian plate (which has subsequently broken into the Indian Plate and the Australian plate) was moving at about 15 cm per year. About 50 million years ago this fast moving Indo-Australian plate had completely closed the Tethys Ocean, the existence of which has been determined by sedimentary rocks settled on the ocean floor, and the volcanoes that fringed its edges. Since both plates were composed of low density continental crust, they were thrust faulted and folded into mountain ranges rather than subducting into the mantle along an oceanic trench. An often-cited fact used to illustrate this process is that the summit of Mount Everest is made of marine limestone from this ancient ocean.
Today, the Indian plate continues to be driven horizontally below the Tibetan Plateau, which forces the plateau to continue to move upwards. The Indian plate is still moving at 67 mm per year, and over the next 10 million years it will travel about 1,500 km into Asia. About 20 mm per year of the India-Asia convergence is absorbed by thrusting along the Himalaya southern front. This leads to the Himalayas rising by about 5 mm per year, making them geologically active. The movement of the Indian plate into the Asian plate also makes this region seismically active, leading to earthquakes from time to time.
During the last ice age, there was a connected ice stream of glaciers between Kangchenjunga in the east and Nanga Parbat in the west. In the west, the glaciers joined with the ice stream network in the Karakoram, and in the north, joined with the former Tibetan inland ice. To the south, outflow glaciers came to an end below an elevation of 1,000–2,000 metres. While the current valley glaciers of the Himalaya reach at most 20 to 32 kilometres in length, several of the main valley glaciers were 60 to 112 kilometres long during the ice age. The glacier snowline (the altitude where accumulation and ablation of a glacier are balanced) was about 1,400–1,660 metres lower than it is today. Thus, the climate was at least 7.0 to 8.3 °C colder than it is today.
HYDROLOGY
The Himalayas contain the third-largest deposit of ice and snow in the world, after Antarctica and the Arctic. The Himalayan range encompasses about 15,000 glaciers, which store about 12,000 km3 of fresh water. Its glaciers include the Gangotri and Yamunotri (Uttarakhand) and Khumbu glaciers (Mount Everest region), Langtang glacier (Langtang region) and Zemu (Sikkim).
Owing to the mountains' latitude near the Tropic of Cancer, the permanent snow line is among the highest in the world at typically around 5,500 metres. In contrast, equatorial mountains in New Guinea, the Rwenzoris and Colombia have a snow line some 900 metres lower. The higher regions of the Himalayas are snowbound throughout the year, in spite of their proximity to the tropics, and they form the sources of several large perennial rivers, most of which combine into two large river systems:
- The western rivers, of which the Indus is the largest, combine into the Indus Basin. The Indus begins in Tibet at the confluence of Sengge and Gar rivers and flows southwest through India and then through Pakistan to the Arabian Sea. It is fed by the Jhelum, the Chenab, the Ravi, the Beas, and the Sutlej rivers, among others.
- Most of the other Himalayan rivers drain the Ganges-Brahmaputra Basin. Its main rivers are the Ganges, the Brahmaputra and the Yamuna, as well as other tributaries. The Brahmaputra originates as the Yarlung Tsangpo River in western Tibet, and flows east through Tibet and west through the plains of Assam. The Ganges and the Brahmaputra meet in Bangladesh, and drain into the Bay of Bengal through the world's largest river delta, the Sunderbans.
The easternmost Himalayan rivers feed the Irrawaddy River, which originates in eastern Tibet and flows south through Myanmar to drain into the Andaman Sea.
The Salween, Mekong, Yangtze and Huang He (Yellow River) all originate from parts of the Tibetan Plateau that are geologically distinct from the Himalaya mountains, and are therefore not considered true Himalayan rivers. Some geologists refer to all the rivers collectively as the circum-Himalayan rivers. In recent years, scientists have monitored a notable increase in the rate of glacier retreat across the region as a result of global climate change. For example, glacial lakes have been forming rapidly on the surface of debris-covered glaciers in the Bhutan Himalaya during the last few decades. Although the effect of this will not be known for many years, it potentially could mean disaster for the hundreds of millions of people who rely on the glaciers to feed the rivers during the dry seasons.
LAKES
The Himalayan region is dotted with hundreds of lakes. Most lakes are found at altitudes of less than 5,000 m, with the size of the lakes diminishing with altitude. Tilicho Lake in Nepal in the Annapurna massif is one of the highest lakes in the world. Pangong Tso, which is spread across the border between India and China, and Yamdrok Tso, located in central Tibet, are amongst the largest with surface areas of 700 km², and 638 km², respectively. Other notable lakes include She-Phoksundo Lake in the Shey Phoksundo National Park of Nepal, Gurudongmar Lake, in North Sikkim, Gokyo Lakes in Solukhumbu district of Nepal and Lake Tsongmo, near the Indo-China border in Sikkim.
Some of the lakes present a danger of a glacial lake outburst flood. The Tsho Rolpa glacier lake in the Rowaling Valley, in the Dolakha District of Nepal, is rated as the most dangerous. The lake, which is located at an altitude of 4,580 metres has grown considerably over the last 50 years due to glacial melting.
The mountain lakes are known to geographers as tarns if they are caused by glacial activity. Tarns are found mostly in the upper reaches of the Himalaya, above 5,500 metres.
IMPACT ON CLIMATE
The Himalayas have a profound effect on the climate of the Indian subcontinent and the Tibetan Plateau. They prevent frigid, dry winds from blowing south into the subcontinent, which keeps South Asia much warmer than corresponding temperate regions in the other continents. It also forms a barrier for the monsoon winds, keeping them from traveling northwards, and causing heavy rainfall in the Terai region. The Himalayas are also believed to play an important part in the formation of Central Asian deserts, such as the Taklamakan and Gobi.
RELIGIOUS OF THE REGION
In Hinduism, the Himalayas have been personified as the god Himavat, father of Ganga and Parvati.
Several places in the Himalayas are of religious significance in Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism and Sikhism. A notable example of a religious site is Paro Taktsang, where Padmasambhava is said to have founded Buddhism in Bhutan. Padmasambhava is also worshipped as the patron saint of Sikkim.
A number of Vajrayana Buddhist sites are situated in the Himalayas, in Tibet, Bhutan and in the Indian regions of Ladakh, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Spiti and Darjeeling. There were over 6,000 monasteries in Tibet, including the residence of the Dalai Lama. Bhutan, Sikkim and Ladakh are also dotted with numerous monasteries. The Tibetan Muslims have their own mosques in Lhasa and Shigatse.
RESOURCES
The Himalayas are home to a diversity of medicinal resources. Plants from the forests have been used for millennia to treat conditions ranging from simple coughs to snake bites. Different parts of the plants - root, flower, stem, leaves, and bark - are used as remedies for different ailments. For example, a bark extract from an abies pindrow tree is used to treat coughs and bronchitis. Leaf and stem paste from an arachne cordifolia is used for wounds and as an antidote for snake bites. The bark of a callicarpa arborea is used for skin ailments. Nearly a fifth of the gymnosperms, angiosperms, and pteridophytes in the Himalayas are found to have medicinal properties, and more are likely to be discovered.
Most of the population in some Asian and African countries depend on medicinal plants rather than prescriptions and such (Gupta and Sharma, vii). Since so many people use medicinal plants as their only source of healing in the Himalayas, the plants are an important source of income. This contributes to economic and modern industrial development both inside and outside the region (Gupta and Sharma, 5). The only problem is that locals are rapidly clearing the forests on the Himalayas for wood, often illegally (Earth Island Journal, 2). This means that the number of medicinal plants is declining and that some of them might become rarer or, in some cases, go extinct.
Although locals are clearing out portions of the forests in the Himalayas, there is still a large amount of greenery ranging from the tropical forests to the Alpine forests. These forests provide wood for fuel and other raw materials for use by industries. There are also many pastures for animals to graze upon (Mohita, sec. Forest and Wealth). The many varieties of animals that live in these mountains do so based on the elevation. For example, elephants and rhinoceros live in the lower elevations of the Himalayas, also called the Terai region. Also, found in these mountains are the Kashmiri stag, black bears, musk deer, langur, and snow leopards. The Tibetan yak are also found on these mountains and are often used by the people for transportation. However, the populations of many of these animals and still others are declining and are on the verge of going extinct (Admin, sec. Flora and Fauna).
The Himalayas are also a source of many minerals and precious stones. Amongst the tertiary rocks, are vast potentials of mineral oil. There is coal located in Kashmir, and precious stones located in the Himalayas. There is also gold, silver, copper, zinc, and many other such minerals and metals located in at least 100 different places in these mountains (Mohita, sec. Minerals).
CULTURE
There are many cultural aspects of the Himalayas. For the Hindus, the Himalayas are personified as Himavath, the father of the goddess Parvati (Gupta and Sharma, 4). The Himalayas is also considered to be the father of the river Ganges. The Mountain Kailash is a sacred peak to the Hindus and is where the Lord Shiva is believed to live (Admin, sec. Centre of Religion). Two of the most sacred places of pilgrimage for the Hindus is the temple complex in Pashupatinath and Muktinath, also known as Saligrama because of the presence of the sacred black rocks called saligrams (Zurick, Julsun, Basanta, and Birendra, 153).
The Buddhists also lay a great deal of importance on the mountains of the Himalayas. Paro Taktsang is the holy place where Buddhism started in Bhutan (Admin, sec. Centre of Religion). The Muktinath is also a place of pilgrimage for the Tibetan Buddhists. They believe that the trees in the poplar grove came from the walking sticks of eighty-four ancient Indian Buddhist magicians or mahasiddhas. They consider the saligrams to be representatives of the Tibetan serpent deity known as Gawo Jagpa (Zurick, Julsun, Basanta, and Birendra, 153).
The Himalayan people’s diversity shows in many different ways. It shows through their architecture, their languages and dialects, their beliefs and rituals, as well as their clothing (Zurick, Julsun, Basanta, and Birendra, 78). The shapes and materials of the people’s homes reflect their practical needs and the beliefs. Another example of the diversity amongst the Himalayan peoples is that handwoven textiles display unique colors and patterns that coincide with their ethnic backgrounds. Finally, some people place a great importance on jewelry. The Rai and Limbu women wear big gold earrings and nose rings to show their wealth through their jewelry (Zurick, Julsun, Basanta, and Birendra, 79).

Fayetteville Arsenal
"Batter...into piles of rubble"
Carolina Campaign
The Carolina Campaign began February 1, 1865, when Union Gen. William T. Sherman led his army north from Savannah, Georgia, after the "March to the Sea." Sherman's objective was to join Gen. Ulysses S. Grant in Virginia to crush Gan. Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Scattered Confederate forces consolidated to North Carolina. the Confederacy's logistical lifeline, where Sherman defeated Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's last ditch attack at Bentonville. After Sherman was reinforced at Goldsboro late in March, Johnston saw the futility of further resistance and surrendered on April 26, essentially ending the Civil War.
On March 11, 1865, Union Gen. William T. Sherman and his army marched into Fayetteville, and Sherman made the arsenal his headquarters while he reported to Washington on the progress of the Carolinas Campaign. Believing that "the United States should never again confide such valuable property to a people who have betrayed a trust," Sherman ordered his chief engineer, Col. Orlando M. Poe, to "batter the arsenal building into piles of rubble and then burn and blow up the ruins." Poe assigned the duty to the 1st Michigan Engineers and Mechanics.
The engineers began their task on March 12, first attacking the machinery with sledgehammers and axes to render it into scrap. Poe wrote that "the clang of hammers 7 axes wielded by more than a thousand men, is almost enough to drive one crazy." Then the engineers battered down the arsenal's brick walls using railroad irons suspended from wooden tripods with chains. Finally, on March 14, the piles of rubble and lumber were set ablaze as Sherman moved his headquarters across the Cape Fear River. The arsenal grounds stood vacant until 1873 when the government auctioned the land.
The U.S. Arsenal at Fayetteville was constructed between 1838 and 1853, but the facility lacked equipment until 1857. Before the federal government could utilize it, the Civil War began. North Carolina seceded, and local militiamen occupied it. In June 1861, the state transferred control to the Confederacy. Workers converted 36,000 flintlock muskets to percussion-cap weapons and installed machinery captured at Harper's Ferry, in present-day West Virginia. The arsenal produced about 10,000 rifles and assembled a few pistol carbines. Its greatest contribution to the Confederate war effort, however, was the more than 900,000 rounds of small arms ammunition, signal rockets, and friction primers assembled by women workers.
Objective: Out and About, HDR Photo
Camera mode: I was in Aperture Priority to be able to choose my aperture without having to care about the shutter speed.
ISO: I chose ISO 100 in order to reduce the shutter speed.
Focal Length: My picture has been taken in 28mm because I wanted the whole shed and the grey sky.
Aperture: My aperture was f/29 in order to have as much details as possible in focus.
Shutter Speed: My shutter speed was set automatically to 1/10.
Objective 3: Elements and Principles of Design
Texture: With this HDR Picture, I wanted to highlight the grass, the wood of the shed and the clouds.
Colour: I darkened the highlights and brightened the shadows in order to highlight the orange of the wood, the green of the grass and the white of the gravel.
Space: There is no negative space because I wanted a lot of details in this HDR.
Balance: Even though, the shed is on the left of the picture. The house is directed to the right.
Emphasis: The house is placed on the third line of the Rule of Third.
Objective 4: Lighting
I took this picture outside and waited until the sun had a good position so the shadow is not directly on the shed but towards the side of it.
Objective 5: Post Production
I took seven pictures with seven different exposures (-3.0 to +3.0) merge them to HDR with Photoshop. Then I changed the highlights, shadows, contrast, saturation, vibrance, clarity, sharpening and post-cropping vignetting in Lightroom 4.
Objective 6: Critique
Our objectives are to get in position that any salesman, interviewer, attorney, Executive and public speaker will use our kits on daily day based.
The body language kit is definitely a great addition to any workshops that covers non verbal communication, body language, public speaking, leadership and more. So, we don’t think that we have to take any position or agenda.
Research shows that in a week after the workshops, most of the participates don’t remember most of the material and the skills that they learned in the workshop. The body language cards will help them to refresh their memories. That the place that we want to be, that also the reason for the low cost of the product – we want to get to the mass market.
