20. - 22. September 2013
Jesuit College, Jicin.
Starting workshop of continuous program was focus on a source of light and the lighting source in Site-specific space.
Decided to add a control to the transition links to provide me with a drop-down list containing all the IDs of the buttons in the source screen. This way I dont have to be constantly going back to the screen to find the right ID, or make any typos while assigning it to the transition.
Outside of that, I cleaned up some of the code generator's code. Ended up delegating the creation of the Field code to each independent field. This way, I removed some of the logic from the code generator.

"1229 Octagon" is the designation for a specific glass product design made in Newark, Ohio by the Heisey Glass Company (1896 to 1957). Heisey glass designs are called "patterns". Pattern designations include a number (not necessarily consecutively numbered during the history of the glass factory) and a name. Some pattern names were given by the Heisey company, while others were given by Heisey glass researchers.
The source of silica for Heisey glass is apparently undocumented, but was possibly a sandstone deposit in the Glassrock area (Glenford & Chalfants area) of Perry County, Ohio (if anyone can provide verfication of this, please inform me). Quarries in the area targeted the Pennsylvanian-aged Massillon Sandstone (Pottsville Group) and processed it into glass sand suitable for glass making.
-----------------------------------
From Bredehoft (2004):
Hawthorne: 1927 only. Replaced by Alexandrite. A light purple or lavender shade. Varies quite a lot in tone. Apparently the company had trouble controlling the color, possibly due to their inability to control the flamingo color base.

From museum signage:
Augustus H. Heisey (1842-1922) emigrated from Germany with his family in 1843. They settled in Merrittown, Pennsylvania and after graduation from the Merrittown Academy, he worked for a short time in the printing business.
In 1861, he began his life-long career in the glass industry by taking a job as a clerk with the King Glass Company of Pittsburgh. After a stint in the Union Army, Heisey joined the Ripley Glass Company as a salesman. It was there that he earned his reputation of "the best glass salesman on the road".
In 1870, Heisey married Susan Duncan, daughter of George Duncan, then part-owner of the Ripley Company and later full owner, at which time he changed its name to George Duncan & Sons. A year later, he deeded a quarter interest to each of his two children. A few years after his death, A.H. Heisey and James Duncan became sole owners. In 1891, the company joined the U.S. Glass Company to escape its financial difficulties. Heisey was the commercial manager.
Heisey began to formulate plans for his own glass company in 1893. He chose Newark, Ohio because there was an abundance of natural gas nearby and, due to the efforts of the Newark Board of Trade, there was plenty of low cost labor available. Construction of the factory at 301 Oakwood Avenue began in 1895 and it opened in April of 1896 with one sixteen-pot furnace. In its heyday, the factory had three furnaces and employed nearly seven hundred people. There was a great demand for the fine glass and Heisey sold it all over the world.
The production in the early years was confined to pressed ware, in the style of imitation cut glass. The company also dealt extensively with hotel barware. By the late 1890s, Heisey revived the colonial patterns with flutes, scallops, and panels which had been so popular decades earlier. These were so well accepted that from that time on, at least one colonial line was made continuously until the factory closed.
A.H. Heisey's name appears on many different design patents including some when he was with George Duncan & Sons. Heisey patterns that he was named the designer include 1225 Plain Band, 305 Punty and Diamond Point, and 1776 Kalonyal.
Other innovations instituted by A.H. Heisey were the pioneering in advertising glassware in magazines nationally, starting as early as 1910 and the first glass company to make fancy pressed stems. That idea caught on quickly and most hand-wrought stemware is made in this manner, even now.

-----------------------------------
"1184 Yeoman" is the designation for a specific glass product design made in Newark, Ohio by the Heisey Glass Company (1896 to 1957). Heisey glass designs are called "patterns". Pattern designations include a number (not necessarily consecutively numbered during the history of the glass factory) and a name. Some pattern names were given by the Heisey company, while others were given by Heisey glass researchers.
"Marigold" refers to a type of colored glass that Heisey made - in this case, yellowish. One of the ingredients in Heisey's Marigold glass was "sodium uranite", a radioactive sodium-uranium oxide compound.
The source of silica for Heisey glass is apparently undocumented, but was possibly a sandstone deposit in the Glassrock area (Glenford & Chalfants area) of Perry County, Ohio (if anyone can provide verfication of this, please inform me). Quarries in the area targeted the Pennsylvanian-aged Massillon Sandstone (Pottsville Group) and processed it into glass sand suitable for glass making.
-----------------------------------
From Bredehoft (2004):
Marigold: 1927-1928. A brassy, greenish yellow color, very like the marigold flower. A rather unstable glass that sometimes deteriorates. Because of production problems, it was eventually replaced by Sahara.

1929-1930
Crazing and breakage is common in pieces of Marigold because of deterioration due to an unstable glass compound.

Photographic techniques capture electromagnetic wavelengths beyond human vision, revealing features invisible to the naked eye. These signals are processed into interpretable forms using methods like color mapping.
Pink lacks a specific electromagnetic wavelength, while grey poses a limitation due to its representation of only intensity—a blend of light and dark without spectral specificity. Imaging techniques reliant on spectral variation produce identical results for greyscale images unless non-visible data is present. Deviations from this uniformity may indicate errors, misinterpretations, or unknown phenomena.
Contention persists over analytical debates, including dismissible claims like Van Allen belt dangers and contested evidence of lunar mirrors. The precision of laser reflections targeting a moving 3x3-foot marker on the Moon highlights technical skill but often fails to resolve skepticism. For instance, a 0.1° shift moves a laser spot 670 km across the Moon's surface.
Forensic analysis (2022, 2023) of Apollo 11–17 photographs assessed authenticity claims. Images of humans in space, Earth, and the Moon's distant views were validated, but Moon landing visuals showed variations, suggesting diverse techniques may have replicated certain elements.
PEMi (Photoelectromagnetic Image) software enhances forensic analysis by differentiating natural and artificial light sources, revealing hidden features. Each PEMi-ID links to original sources, ensuring traceability and comparison.

Hawthorne: 1927 only. Replaced by Alexandrite. A light purple or lavender shade. Varies quite a lot in tone. Apparently the company had trouble controlling the color, possibly due to their inability to control the flamingo color base.

From museum signage:
Augustus H. Heisey (1842-1922) emigrated from Germany with his family in 1843. They settled in Merrittown, Pennsylvania and after graduation from the Merrittown Academy, he worked for a short time in the printing business.
In 1861, he began his life-long career in the glass industry by taking a job as a clerk with the King Glass Company of Pittsburgh. After a stint in the Union Army, Heisey joined the Ripley Glass Company as a salesman. It was there that he earned his reputation of "the best glass salesman on the road".
In 1870, Heisey married Susan Duncan, daughter of George Duncan, then part-owner of the Ripley Company and later full owner, at which time he changed its name to George Duncan & Sons. A year later, he deeded a quarter interest to each of his two children. A few years after his death, A.H. Heisey and James Duncan became sole owners. In 1891, the company joined the U.S. Glass Company to escape its financial difficulties. Heisey was the commercial manager.
Heisey began to formulate plans for his own glass company in 1893. He chose Newark, Ohio because there was an abundance of natural gas nearby and, due to the efforts of the Newark Board of Trade, there was plenty of low cost labor available. Construction of the factory at 301 Oakwood Avenue began in 1895 and it opened in April of 1896 with one sixteen-pot furnace. In its heyday, the factory had three furnaces and employed nearly seven hundred people. There was a great demand for the fine glass and Heisey sold it all over the world.
The production in the early years was confined to pressed ware, in the style of imitation cut glass. The company also dealt extensively with hotel barware. By the late 1890s, Heisey revived the colonial patterns with flutes, scallops, and panels which had been so popular decades earlier. These were so well accepted that from that time on, at least one colonial line was made continuously until the factory closed.
A.H. Heisey's name appears on many different design patents including some when he was with George Duncan & Sons. Heisey patterns that he was named the designer include 1225 Plain Band, 305 Punty and Diamond Point, and 1776 Kalonyal.
Other innovations instituted by A.H. Heisey were the pioneering in advertising glassware in magazines nationally, starting as early as 1910 and the first glass company to make fancy pressed stems. That idea caught on quickly and most hand-wrought stemware is made in this manner, even now.

An Appeal To Science School Students .
Friends Date: 30.10 03 For the' forthcoming JNUSU Elections, we place before the students of science schools our agenda and perspective for the corning year. We believe that the science school students share many common concerns with the student community across our university and they also face many problems specific to their schools and centres. The major issues are: . . . . .
Scholarships: After a 12-day Hunger Strike led by the JNUSU President the JNUSU compelled the Admrntstratron to retract from rts circular which announced a cut-off date of 151 April 2007 for the M.Phii/PhD fellowship and change it to July 2005. This written commitment was obtained before the disbursal of fellowship amount from April 2007 was allowed to happen as a temporary relief to the student community. Now the task before student community is to intensify this struggle further to ensure that the UGC agrees to give arrears from JULY 2005, especially since the decision of the date of implementation of M.Phii/PhD fellowships was left on the .
universities by the UGC. Ensuring the early enhancement of the UGC-CSIR fellowship by demanding that either a new Director-General is appointed for the CSIR without delay or some other means is found to hold a special meeting of the Governing Body of the CSIR in order to enhance the .
UGC-CSIR fellowship. The struggle for more fellowships like the immediate disbursal of the Rajiv Gandhi Fellowship (not released since May 2007}, Maulana Azad Fellowship for minorities, Single Girl Child Fellowship, 50% increase in the fellowship amount as per the MHRD circular, ensuring immediate disbursal of the enhanced UGC-NET fellowship, instituting spe_cial fellowships for physically .
challenged students etc are also important issues that face the student community. The YFE's logic that the MPhii/PhD fellowship must be at par with the Rajiv Gandhi Fellowship betrays their complete obsession with caste and t11eir divisive logic because why does the YFE not argue for parity between MPhii/PhD fellowships and RGF with UGC-NET .
fellowships or UGC-NET with UGC-CSIR fellowship? We appeal to the student community to reject this divisive agenda. Safety and security in Campus: Over the last few years the security situation in the campus, especially for girl students, has deteriorated where they have been subjected to increased cases of harassment. Miscreants from outside have especially been involved in these cases which need to be dealt with in a stern manner. The functioning of the GSACSH needs to be improved further in this .
regard. More Hostels: Although new hostels have come up in our campus over the last five years, new students are still facing acute hostel crisis. The SFI-AISF will strive to ensure that new hostels are constructed in our university. This needs to be done in the 11"' Plan itself. Better Infrastructure: The Library and the Health Centre must remain open for 24 hours by recruiting more staff. There should be more facilities in the Health Centre. The University must also provide more computers with Internet facilities and wi-fi facility. The SFI-AISF is committed to ensure betterment of our infrastructural facilities. These also need to be ensured in the 11th Plan. Science-School Issues: Our Agenda .
.
Organizing an Annual Science Festival in JNU. .
.
.
Formation of student faculty committees (SFC) in all science schools so that the student community ts involved in democratic decision making regarding academic and other matters concerning the school or centre. .
.
.
Revitalizing the defunct placement cell of our university to cater to school specific concerns. .
.
.
Course updating and revision. .
.
.
Up gradation of lab facilities. Transparency in purchases for labs. Involvement of SFCs in decision-making. .
.
.
Purchase of new science books in the library. Multiple copies of all science text books in the library. .
.
.
Security escort for girl students returning from the lab at night. .
Construction of a committee room to organize seminars and conferences in SC&SS. More class rooms in SC&SS. .
.
.
.
Departmental library in SES. .
.
.
CIF lab in SES should function for 24 hours. .
.
.
Trained library staff for SPS library. .
.
.
More Life Science books in the main library. Over the last one year the student SFI-AISF has not merely ensured and enhancement in MCMs for BAIMA/MSc students to Rs1500/-.
p.m. and increase in income cap to Rs.1 lakh p.a., but has also advanced the socially committed character of our university by ensuring that the decision regarding implementation of 27% OBC Reservation and 54% seat increase are passed by the Academic Council. This matter is now subjud~ce, but obsessed with this single issue the YFE not only did not attend Council Meetings throughout the year but als? drd not do .anythrng for.the stude~ts who gave them a full mandate in SLS, CBT and SC&SS. They did not even bother to present .
thetr ~onvenor s R.eports m the Sctence Schools. We appeal to all the science school students to reject such anti-democratic .
organrzat1ons and g1ve a mandate in favour of our future agenda. .
