(PHOTO BY MC2 MICHAEL DOAN) 2 LEADERSHIP CORNER WITH ONE OF NAFA’S CHAPLAINS, JASON CHRISTAFARIS For the June edition of Leadership Corner, I really want to focus on taking care of yourself. We all know that our careers are unpredictable and that there is a lot that is out of our control. My hope is that you are able to be resilient and that you will be prepared when life becomes challenging. You might ask, “What are some of the things that we can do to build up our resilience for when times get challenging?” Here are a few quick thoughts: Watch what you eat: Diet is something that is different to everyone, and people react differently to food. It is important that we know our tendencies and know our limits. Keeping those unhealthy types of food and drinks to a minimum while eating food that is healthy will go a long way when stressful situations happen. Prioritize rest: When people are exhausted, their guard is down and they might say and do things that they would never think to do when they are rested. Knowing the amount of sleep that you need and prioritizing that should be something that we take seriously. Talking to the right people: We all need friends who we can be open and honest with and do so Lt. j.g. Jason Christafaris without the fear of judgment or abandonment.

    www.bookvica.com SPRING CATALOGUE 2018: Early Soviet Culture. A Selection of Books 1 F O R E W O R D Dear friends and collegues, Bookvica team is happy to present to you the spring catalogue of 2018! Our focus is once again on the life of the USSR in 1920s-1930s when new ideas have found its embodiment in the life of the Soviet man. Most of the books we have gathered for this catalogue are not one the classic checklist of early Soviet books. No works by Mayakovsky or Lissitzky are present and some of them are practically unknown and barely recorded. However this collection is not accidental but the one with a purpose. With some exceptions we tried to look into the lesser researched sides of the life of new Soviet man and the propaganda that was creating her/him. What toys were they playing growing up and what notebooks used to write their lessons in? What shoes did they wear and what parks they attended back in the days? What did they do in a free time? How the factory libraries looked like and what could be written in the factory newspapers? The answers could be found in the books featured in our catalogue this time. As usual we tried to include books that would have the harmonious balance of rarity, interesting content and the design. That’s why you should expect to find the constructivist wrapper on the catalogue of the library equipment or photomontage cover of the second grade notebook. Apart from the experimental sections we did include our standard selection on architecture, art theory (this time focusing on color theory) and science books as well as handmade children’s books on their life in pioneer summer camps.

  • Ferris Wheel Dive
    Katie Mobley C BLOCK Ferris Wheel Dive As a special graduation present to the class of 2011, Ms. Lundin has decided to do a death-defying trick (called The Really Super Amazingly Technical dive). This trick uses a ferris wheel, a moving tub of water, and a stop watch. Starting at the 3 oʼclock position, Lundin will be standing on a moving platform on the ferris wheel (which has a radius of 50 ft). The ferris wheel is also moving counter clockwise at 40sec/1rev. Underneath the ferris wheel, there is a moving cart full of water. The cart is 8ft deep and going 15ft/sec on a 240ft long track While the ferris wheel goes around, Lundin will have to jump at the perfect time so she will land in the tub of water and avoid all deathly outcomes. Lundin gave the task of finding the perfect time to jump to her lovely students. Will Lundin survive? Or will her students fail her once again? (picture not to scale) The final equation= The goal of solving this equation is to get both sides to equal each other. This may seem like a huge scary equation, but itʼs actually made up of 4 smaller equations. 1. Height of Lundin=57+50sin9w To understand where Lundin will be on the ferris wheel at any given time, we had to find an equation of the ferris wheel platform (where Lundin is standing) We determined the circumference of the ferris wheel using the equation c=2πr The wheel has a radius of 50ft, so we filled that into the equation c=2π(50) and solved it on a calculator and got c=314.159ft Next, we needed to find how fast (in feet per second) the ferris wheel was going.

  • Playgrounds! Topic Question: How Can We Use Our Knowledge Of
    Discovery Quest Playgrounds! Topic Question: How can we use our knowledge of mechanical systems to make structures move? 11th – 15th May L.Q. How can we use our knowledge of rotation to create a playground ride? Read the following information about Ferris Wheels. A Ferris wheel (sometimes called a big wheel, observation wheel, or, in the case of the very tallest examples, giant wheel) is a non-building structure consisting of a rotating upright wheel with multiple passenger-carrying components (commonly referred to as passenger cars, cabins, tubs, capsules, gondolas, or pods) attached to the rim in such a way that as the wheel turns, they are kept upright, usually by gravity. Some of the largest modern Ferris wheels have cars mounted on the outside of the rim, with electric motors to independently rotate each car to keep it upright. These wheels are sometimes referred to as observation wheels and their cars referred to as capsules, however these alternative names are also used for wheels with conventional gravity-oriented cars. The original Ferris Wheel was designed and constructed by George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. as a landmark for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The generic term Ferris wheel is now used for all such structures, which have become the most common type of amusement ride at state fairs in the United States. Since the original 1893 Chicago Ferris wheel there have been nine world's tallest-ever Ferris wheels. The current record holder is the 167.6-metre (550 ft) High Roller in Las Vegas, US, which opened to the public in March 2014.

    MAURER SE Innovative since 1876 forces in motion Innovative since 1876 Our history could easily be characterized as a succession of small and great successes and progress, both in the past and at pre- sent. However, like with all things that grow and get bigger: what strengthened MAURER and made it a recognized firmly established company in our global markets were the phases of reorientation and reinvention. From Friedrich Maurer’s metalware workshop for ornaments in the Glockenbach quarter in Munich, the lightning arrester factory Friedrich Maurer’s Söhne emerged, which, after several relocations in the municipal area of Munich, established today’s headquarters shortly after the first economic crisis in the early 1920s. Competition, new technologies, industrialization, expansion of the infrastructure, crises and war forced us into entrepreneurial repo- sitioning time and again – well into the period of reconstruction. Among our products were: tools and roofing material, lattice masts, punched parts for railroad cars, gasometers, boilers, traction drives and hangar gates, but also coal shovels, frying pans and tin boxes. What makes us renowned worldwide today – structural and civil engineering – has been a constant for a good 90 years. And the recipe for our strength proper is this: our willingness to use our know-how and expertise for the benefit of a population that is growing together worldwide.

  • European Cooperation Projects 2016
    EUROPEAN COOPERATION PROJECTS 2016 Looking beyond our own national nose seems particularly vital for us precisely in times like these. “The background of this initiative is film-political; i.e. it is about raising awareness for European filmmaking, a cultural and economic strategy in order to offer something in reply to the dominant position of US mainstream films. Expressed pointedly, this is joint defence action against Hollywood! The EU cultural programmes push into the same direction, MEDIA supports the development, distribution, and promotion of European films in order to grow together culturally as a continent. It is important to mention that the work of the Academies is always about the overall perspective, never about purely national interests. Josef Aichholzer Chairman of the Austrian Film Academy With this in mind, the Austrian Film Academy carried out several European cooperation projects in May and June 2016, and we are happy to inform you about them in this manner.
