"William’s objective for this painting is to create an artwork celebrating Glassboro’s historical and industrial past, its growing and thriving present, and the city’s vibrant and exciting future."
1. The first layer in the painting is the City of Glassboro logo which reflects the beautiful community of Glassboro focused on its innovative future. The bright color of green in the Glassboro logo and throughout the painting emphasizes the positive transformation and vibrancy of Glassboro as well as the importance of Glassboro’s nature and the environment.
2. The second layer includes the words Live, Thrive, Love, Create, and Grow. These are inspiring words which represent the Glassboro experience. These words were created vertically on the canvas so they depict the increase and vibrant future for those in the city.
3. The next layer depicts four glassblowers which represent the importance of the manufacturing of glass historically to the City of Glassboro. These artistic figures reveal the manner in which glass was blown to create beautiful works of art.
4. The finished composition is a mosaic of vivid color, line, and a pattern resembling the beautiful glass created in the past as well as the innovative art created now and in the future. This colorful mosaic reflects the beauty and diversity of Glassboro.
This painting unites the historical importance of the manufacturing of glass from the past to Glassboro’s emphasis on the arts and culture now and in the future. The bright colors, lines, and patterns shine the future of Glassboro which is an exciting tapestry uniting and lifting all in the city including government, business, education, technology, and the arts.
This painting can be viewed anytime inside of Borough Hall. We encourage you to enjoy, reflect and take selfies and pictures of this beautiful, one-of-a-kind artwork that captures Glassboro, past and present.
It holds the 45mm ATG which has a nice field of fire.
John and I were the Soviet naval troops again and William and Kyle were the attacking Germans.
The bunker was on the slope of a rocky hill , defended by entrenched troops and barbed wire across the right side.
The Naval troops were Green and had a SVT rifle in each section allowing them to reroll a differently colored die if it was a '1'. We both had a MMG team and 2 sections were dug in
The Germans had 2 platoons of infantry with a pioneer team added to at least 1 section, so some big sections and demo charges, grenades galore. Kyle had a MMG team and they had a StuG III B and selected a pre game bombardment.
Headed down the road one evening, the light between storms shifting the colors, I wonder if anyone else ever notices how beautiful this abandoned lot can be.
Objective two is successfully completed. Took a bit longer than stage one due to the snow and ice. I take a few snaps, do the selfie evidence shot and sit doon fae lunch. As I eat (camera back in the bag) a Raven lands just a few steps from me and sits watching me. The Raven follows me for much of the day, frequently landing close to me.

“One Shape Theme and Two Personalities”
The learning objectives of this project were to experience controlling space/form dynamic via structural units (linear, planar, and mass), to learn to work with shape as a focus of interest in a design, and to experience applying basic design principles in three dimensions.
This volumetric wall form was designed to serve as a room divider in a restaurant with a design theme based on the visual element of shape. Parts of the wall form are read as space dominant while others are seen as being mass dominant. Constructed from finished wood, this functional piece plays with a chevron motif.
A main objective of Morphy Day was for RCS and Guilds to capture each other's mascots. Guilds captured Theta, the RCS thermometer, but the use of a body double for the Spanner may have been a breach of the rules!
The CLCC recently completed and approved our first science planning document titled, CLCC Science Strategy: Mission Alignment, as an initial step toward identifying shared conservation priorities. While the document met its stated objectives, Steering Committee (SC) members and outside reviewers have suggested the next step is to develop a framework for implementation. To carry out this step, SC members approved the use of a process called Structured Decision-Making (SDM). SDM is a formal, prescriptive, values-based method for analyzing a decision by breaking the decision into components. The specific process used in the workshop is called “PrOACT,” which refers to the decision components: Problem, Objectives, Alternatives, Consequences, and Tradeoffs. For the purposes of the CLCC, SDM provides a tool for achieving transparent, purposeful, and collaborative co-production of conservation—specifically, multi-partner landscape conservation design (LCD) for the Caribbean region.
To begin working through PrOACT the SC spent four days in El Yunque National Forest with decision support coaches Angela Romero and Mitch Aid (US FWS), Peter Freeman (USVI Independent Consulant) and Wanda Crespo (Estudio Technicos, Inc).
The objectives of this face to face meeting were to (1) introduce participating SC members to the SDM process so that they are comfortable with the process, its application, and its usefulness; (2) Frame “The Problem” SC members are jointly addressing (i.e., Step 1 of PrOACT); and (3) Develop a set of actionable “Objectives” based on CLCC shared values and priorities (i.e., Step 2 of PrOACT).
Steering Committee members agreed upon the following Decision Statement:
“The Caribbean LCC Steering Committee will develop and implement coordinated, efficient, and effective landscape-scale conservation design and strategy to conserve, restore and sustain ecological and cultural resources and services and human well-being in the Caribbean inside and outside of CLCC jurisdictional boundaries. The CLCC recognizes the following constraints and uncertainties: political and social environments, finances, multiple decision making authorities, diverse values, competing priorities, and climatic and ecological dynamics.”
The CLCC Steering Committee recognized themselves as the focal decision-makers and the organizations they represent as the implementers. The decision timeframe includes a 5-10 year planning horizon, 10-20 year implementation period (to institutionalize LCD), and the impacts of decisions will range from the present to 60 years to quasi-infinite. The group also agreed that the region of interest is the “terrestrial and marine components within the EEZ of the U.S. Caribbean, and Navassa Island, with consideration of relevant drivers, policies and impacts originating in the wider Caribbean region. The wider Caribbean is defined by UNEP.”
The Steering Committee also agreed upon four Fundamental Objectives, which will frame all future collaborative efforts of the CLCC (no particular order):
Maximize use of available operational resources
Maximize public satisfaction and well-being
Maximize the structure and function of aquatic and terrestrial resources
Maximize the integrity of cultural and historic resources
The Steering Committee agreed to create Tiger Teams, or subteams with a specific short-term task, to flesh out specific objectives and indicators for each of the Fundamental objectives.
Questions on this science planning process should be directed to CLCC Science Coordinator Brent Murry.
The objective of the shoot was to showcase Gateaulogie’s awesome selection of sweets, our Signature fascinators, dresses & lingerie – all of which will be available for sale on eFashionista soon!

I want to believe that these scenes are based on real ones. (I have no strong basis for doing so.) If so, they're likely from the Cincinnati area, where the book was published.
Finally gave in to my programming itch and picked up this book on Objective C. I haven't really written any programs in years and am having a lot of fun.
Social Interface Traveling Through The City Streets
[For English, Ukrainian, Polish, Russian scroll down]
An object migrating from the suburbs to the city centre and back has become a symbolic interface, a temporary space established with the aim of connecting Lublin’s communities and social groups. The objective of this happening was an attempt at discovering the answers to the questions. How can it be made possible to achieve a balance, a connection between the analog «off-line» culture, which is strictly bound to the nature of the places which people inhabit, and the modern, digital and virtual «on-line» culture, where it is not the place where one lives that is of any importance? How can bonds and connections between people representing those two different cultures be forged, and how can they become involved in a mutually collaborative creative process?

Соціальний інтерфейс, що подорожує по вулицях міста
Об'єкт, що мігрує з передмістя до центру міста і назад, став символічним інтерфейсом, тимчасовим простором для об'єднання громад Любліна та його соціальних груп. Цей хепенінг мав на меті знайти відповіді на питання. Яким чином можна досягти балансу – зв'язку між аналоговою «офф-лайн» культурою, прив'язаною до природи місць, де живуть люди, і сучасною, цифровою і віртуальною «он-лайн» культурою, де місце, в якому людина живе, не має ніякого значення? Як можуть бути встановлені зв'язки і зобов'язання між людьми, що представляють дві різні культури, і як вони можуть бути залучені в спільний творчий процес?

Celem tego wydarzenia było znaleźć odpowiedzi na pytania. W jaki sposób można osiągnąć równowagę – związek między analogową kulturą off-line, ściśle związaną z przyrodą miejsc, gdzie mieszkają ludzie, oraz współczesną cyfrową i wirtualną kulturą on-line, gdzie miesjce, w którym zamieszkuje człowiek, nie ma żadnego znaczenia? Jak mogą być nawiązane kontakty i zobowiązania między ludźmi, reprezentującymi dwie różne kultury, i jak oni mogą być zaangażowani we wspólnym procesie twórczym?

Objective 7: Photographic Styles
Type/style of photography: Food photography. Unlike still life photography, food photography looks better if you just focus on one thing. You want to take the picture to make the person looking at the photo want to eat it.
The camera mode: I used Av mode because you can change the aperture on that mode. The aperture is a setting that determines the blurriness of the background; it’s easier to focus on one thing that way. The lower the aperture the more blurry the background would be. The higher the aperture the slower the picture would take to take and the less blurry background. My aperture was 5.6.
Shutter speed used: The shutter speed I used was 1/13. The shutter speed is affected by the aperture and the ISO. If the ISO is low, the shutter speed will be longer. If the aperture is higher than the shutter speed will be also taking longer. The higher the ISO, the smaller the aperture, the shorted the shutter speed will be.
Exposure compensation: Exposure compensation has to do with lighting. My exposure mode was on auto. It was on auto because I was taking a picture of it inside and I couldn’t find a setting on the camera that was good for the photo so I just used auto. If you don’t have good lighting in food photography won’t look very good.
Objective 7: Photographic Styles (ex. portrait, landscape, etc.) – Explain why the settings and composition are appropriate for the style of photography. (How did you create the shot?) You do NOT need to do Objective 2 if you are handing in this objective.
Type/style of photography: Motion Blur
The camera mode (P, Tv, Av, M):AV
f stop used:f/8.0
shutter speed used:1/6
ISO used:800
Exposure compensation:0
Focal length:27mm
Objective 4: Lighting (side, back, soft, hard, fill)
Types of lighting and how they contribute to the image: hard side light is shown directly on the kiwi and shines somewhat over to the banana and orange this brings out features in the fruit and on the table
Objective 7: Photographic Styles (ex. portrait, landscape, etc.) – Explain why the settings and composition are appropriate for the style of photography. (How did you create the shot?)
Type/style of photography: Food photography
The camera mode (P, TV, Av, M): Av
shutter speed used:1/15 I used this shutter speed because there wasn’t much moving on the table
ISO used: 800- I used an 800 ISO because it seemed to be the right ISO to get less noise in the photo
Focal length: I used a focal length of 22.0mm so I could get all of the fruit in the photo and so they didn't look distorted
f stop used:3.8- I used a aperture of f 3.8 because the photo wasn't to far away and it let me get everything in pretty good focus
