The second logo of the M.S.F.A. was first used in 1895, and appeared on the Proceedings Book of the Association until 1904, (shown lower left.) In 1905, the logo was changed (shown lower center). In 2001 the logo (shown lower right) was slightly altered to include the wording around the outside edge, was created and continues to be used as a sign of recognition by repre- sentatives of the M.S.F.A. while conducting the official business of the Association. The description of the logo was supplied by Past President Peter Paul Lochary and Mrs. Jeannie Hare (widow of Past President Herman B. Hare.) MEANING OF THE LOGO The color red represents life-red blood of the human being-the gift of God. The hose expresses effort-energy put forth by individuals to his/ her job as water flows through the hose. Tools of the trade - Axes - force. Ladders - steps to success for firemen helping to provide better service to the community. Nozzle - used to dispense water-result of suc- cess applied by firemen. Oak Leaves - White Oak is the tree of the State of Maryland and shows strength. Acorns symbolize deeds of fire- men that grow into accomplishments just as acorns grow into great oak trees. Wreath formed by oak leaves and acorns to symbolize valor and achievement. Bow to tie it all together to make a great organization. 4 5 Maryland State Firemen’s Association 113th Annual Convention and Conference 5 6 Maryland State Firemen’s Association 113th Annual Convention and Conference Robert Jacobs Citizen Truck Co.

  • Xviith CENTURY
    1596. — Bear Island (Beeren Eylandt — Björnöja) is discovered by Barentz who killed a white bear there. Visited in 1603 by Stephen Bennett who called it Cherk IsL after his employer Sir F. Cherie, of the Russian Company. Scoresby visited it in 1822. It was surveyed in 1898 by A. G. Nathorst’s Swedish Arctic expedition. N 1596. — On June 17, W. Barentz and the Dutch, expedition in search of a N.-E. passage, sights West Spitzbergen. He called Groeten Inwick what is now Ice fjord (Hudson’s Great indraught in 1607) a name which was given to it by Poole in 1610. Barentz thought that Spitzbergen was part of Greenland. Barentz also discovered Prince Charles Foreland which he took to be an island and which was called Black point Isle by Poole in 1610. It was in 1612 that English Whalers named it after Prince Charles, son of James VI of Scotland, who became Charles I later. In 1607-1610, following the reports made by Hudson, of the Muscovy Company, a whaling industry was established in Spitzbergen. The scientific exploration of Spitz­ bergen has been going on ever since 1773, which was the year of Captain Phipps’s British expedition in which Horatio Nelson, took part. Explored by Sir Martin 丨Cònway.in 1896. By the Prince of Monaco and Doctor W. S. Bruce in 1906. By the Scottish Spitzbergen Syndicate of Edinburgh in 1920 and by the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. 1598. ~• The Dutch admiral Jacob Cornel is van Necq, commanding the “ Mauritius” takes possession of Mauritius and pursues his voyage of Dutch colonisation to the Moluccas (Amboina) then to Te mate in 1601 with the “ Amsterdam ” and “ Utrecht ”，whilst the Hispano-Portuguese had settled at Tidor.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES E LMER KEISER BOLTON 1886—1968 A Biographical Memoir by RO BE R T M. J O Y C E Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1983 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. ELMER KEISER BOLTON June 23, 1886-Jidy 30, 1968 BY ROBERT M. JOYCE LMER KEISER BOLTON was one of the outstanding leaders E of industrial research. He became an industrial re- search director at a time when research was only beginning to be a significant factor in the chemical industry. There were no models for this new role, and Bolton's concepts of direct- ing industrial research were in large measure those that he formulated himself, reflecting his vision and drive to achieve important commercial goals. The record of industrial products developed by Du Pont research organizations that he directed is impressive; it in- cludes synthetic dyes and intermediates, flotation chemicals, rubber chemicals, neoprene synthetic rubber, nylon synthetic fiber, and Teflon® polytetrafluoroethylene resin. His leader- ship in bringing these developments to fruition was always apparent to management and to those he directed, but be- cause of his characteristic self-effacement his name is not widely associated with these accomplishments. Throughout his career he supported and encouraged his technical person- nel. Most important, he had the knack of picking the right time and direction to take in moving a research lead into development. Many of his decisions proved crucial to the ultimate success of these ventures.

The double hemisphere map is split into eastern and western halves, with the Americas to the left and Africa, Asia, and Europe to the right. The title runs along the top, while several cartouches (including a blank one near Antarctica) adorn the map. Between each of the two larger hemispheres are smaller circles containing the starscape of the northern and southern hemispheres. Large banners unfurl from the celestial hemispheres; these display coordinate tables in French and German miles. In the four corners are animal representation of the four elements. Air is shown with large birds flying in the clouds. Fire is a flaming salamander, which calls on an association of the lizards with fire resistance that stretches back to Aristotle and Pliny. Water is a voracious sperm whale surrounded by its prey of fish (and, possibly, ships). Earth shows a landscape filled with animals, including an elephant, lion, horse, and deer. The geography of the hemispheres is no less interesting than these animal allegories. Japan appears slightly squat, yet is a more precise depiction than many other contemporary maps.

  • HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (HDPE): HDPE Refers to a Plastic Used to Make Bottles for Milk, Juice, Water and Laundry Products
    HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (HDPE): HDPE refers to a plastic used to make bottles for milk, juice, water and laundry products. Unpigmented HDPE bottles are translucent and have good barrier properties and stiffness. They are well suited to packaging products with short shelf lives such as milk. Pigmented HDPE bottles generally have better stress crack and chemical resistance than bottles made with unpigmented HDPE. These properties are needed for packaging such items as household chemicals and detergents, which have a longer shelf life. Made via a low-pressure process at 1 atm and 170 degrees. Relative density: 0.941 to 0.965 grams/cubic centimetres. HDPE does not become pliable until temperatures over water’s boiling point, i.e. 100 degrees. HDPE remains stable down to -45 degrees. Good welding properties, weldable at 130 to 170 degrees. LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (LDPE): A plastic used predominantly in film applications due to its toughness, flexibility and relative transparency. LDPE has a low melting point, making it popular for use in applications where heat sealing is necessary. Typically, LDPE is used to manufacture flexible films such as those used for plastic retail bags and garment dry cleaning and grocery bags. LDPE is also used to manufacture some flexible lids and bottles, and it is widely used in wire and cable applications for its stable electrical properties and processing characteristics Made via a high pressure process at 3000 atm and 300 degrees. Low relative density: 0.91 to 0.925 grams/cubic centimetres. LDPE is a tough, semi-transparent material. LDPE becomes pliable at around 60 to 80 degrees.

  • Social World Sensing Via Social Image Analysis from Social Media
    PART II PART 2: PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT 115 22 TRANSNATIONAL META-NARRATIVES AND PERSONAL STORIES OF PLASTICS USAGE AND MANAGEMENT VIA SOCIAL MEDIA Shalin Hai-Jew 117 118 PLASTICS USAGE AND MANAGEMENT Abstract Daily, people interact with plastic, a human-made material that may last for generations in the soils, the air, and the water, with health effects on humans, animals, and the environment. What are the transnational meta-narratives and personal stories of plastics on social media—on (1) a mass-scale digitized book corpus term fre- quency search, (2) social video sharing site, (3 and 4) two social image sharing sites, (5) a crowd-sourced online encyclopedia, (6) a social networking site, (7) a microblogging site, and (8) a mass-scale search term analysis based on time-based associations with correlated search terms? This work samples macro-scale stories of innovation (biodegradable plastics, bacteria that consume plastics), of lowering consumption, of plastic collection and recycling, of skimming the oceans of dumped plastics, and of mass-scale public awareness. There are also countervailing narratives of high consumption, resulting in overflowing landfills, plastics dumping on mountains and in rivers, and microplastics in people’s bodies. Key Words Post-Consumer Plastics, Recycling, Plastics Management, One Health, Microplastics, Social Media, Transnational Meta-Narra- tives, Transnational Personal Stories PLASTICS USAGE AND MANAGEMENT 119 Introduction Humanity is said to live in the current Plastic Age (Yarsley & Couzens, 1945, as cited in Cózar, et al., July 15, 2014, p. 10239). Indeed, plastic is ubiquitous and a part of daily life for most peo- ple around the world.
