  • Odisha District Gazetteers Nabarangpur
    ODISHA DISTRICT GAZETTEERS NABARANGPUR GOPABANDHU ACADEMY OF ADMINISTRATION [GAZETTEERS UNIT] GENERAL ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF ODISHA ODISHA DISTRICT GAZETTEERS NABARANGPUR DR. TARADATT, IAS CHIEF EDITOR, GAZETTEERS & DIRECTOR GENERAL, TRAINING COORDINATION GOPABANDHU ACADEMY OF ADMINISTRATION [GAZETTEERS UNIT] GENERAL ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF ODISHA ii iii PREFACE The Gazetteer is an authoritative document that describes a District in all its hues–the economy, society, political and administrative setup, its history, geography, climate and natural phenomena, biodiversity and natural resource endowments. It highlights key developments over time in all such facets, whilst serving as a placeholder for the timelessness of its unique culture and ethos. It permits viewing a District beyond the prismatic image of a geographical or administrative unit, since the Gazetteer holistically captures its socio-cultural diversity, traditions, and practices, the creative contributions and industriousness of its people and luminaries, and builds on the economic, commercial and social interplay with the rest of the State and the country at large. The document which is a centrepiece of the District, is developed and brought out by the State administration with the cooperation and contributions of all concerned. Its purpose is to generate awareness, public consciousness, spirit of cooperation, pride in contribution to the development of a District, and to serve multifarious interests and address concerns of the people of a District and others in any way concerned. Historically, the ―Imperial Gazetteers‖ were prepared by Colonial administrators for the six Districts of the then Orissa, namely, Angul, Balasore, Cuttack, Koraput, Puri, and Sambalpur. After Independence, the Scheme for compilation of District Gazetteers devolved from the Central Sector to the State Sector in 1957.

  • Build a Plane That Cuts Smooth and Crisp Raised Panels With, Against Or Across the Grain – the Magic Is in the Spring and Skew

The bed angle of the Smith plane is 46º, and the iron is skewed at 32º.

  • The Deinstallation of a Period Room: What Goes in to Taking One Out
    Figure 1. Brown Pearl Hall, West Boxford, Massachusetts, about 1704. Figure 2. Oak Hill Parlor, early 19th century, Peabody, Massachusetts. 2006 WAG Postprints—Providence, Rhode Island The Deinstallation of a Period Room: What Goes in to Taking One Out Gordon Hanlon, Furniture and Frame Conservation, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Melissa H. Carr, Masterwork Conservation ABSTRACT Many American museums installed period rooms in the early twentieth century. Eighty years later, different environmental standards and museum expansions mean that some of those rooms need to be removed and either reinstalled or placed in storage. Over the past four years the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston has deinstalled all of their European and American period rooms as part of a Master Plan to expand and reorganize the museum. The removal of the rooms was coordinated and supported by museum staff and performed by private contractors. The first part of this paper will discuss the background of the project and the particular issues of the museum to prepare for the deinstallation. The second part will provide an overview of the deinstallation of one specific, painted and fully-paneled room to illustrate the process. It will include comments on the planning, logistics, physical removal and documentation, as well as notes on its future reinstallation. Introduction he Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is in the process of implementing the first phase of a Master Plan which involves the demolition of the east wing of the museum and the building of a new American wing designed by the London-based architect Sir Norman Foster. This project required Tthat the museum’s eighteen period rooms (eleven American and seven European) and two large architec- tural doorways, on display in the east wing and a connector building, be deinstalled and stored during the construction phase.

  • Howard Brady
    Howard Brady WOOD DESIGNS Copyright © 2019 by Howard L. Brady Note: Every item shown in this album was an original, one-of-a-kind design. The design process from concept through crafting to the finished item is a source of incredible satisfaction to me, and a process that extends well beyond woodworking into music composition, and (with my brother) creation of innovative educational materials. A few years before I retired, Dave Campbell, a senior engineer and friend at Skydata where I worked, remarked that as a writer of technical communications documents for satellite communications equipment, I was an “information designer.” Those were kind works, and, I hope, accurate. This octogenarian loves designing. ii Toys for my great-grandson, Mason: The front-end loader and dump truck were my first major toy designs, built November 2017. Most solid wood is poplar, plywood parts are Baltic birch, dark wood is Indian rosewood, from a local tree destroyed in one of the 2004 hurricanes. Metal parts were aluminum (truck bed edge rails, front end loader bucket and crosspiece), brass (truck steering components) and stainless steel (all fasteners, operating levers). Lever and knob above truck cab controls steering. 1 Built March 2018: Toy box for Mason’s third birthday, May 6th: 2 November 2018: Toy flat-bed wrecker and grumpy wrecked race car for Mason’s Christmas. One of Mason’s parent’s close friends is Tim Daugherty, who races his #88 car (so far NOT wrecked) in figure-8 races at the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds in Southern California. I hope he didn’t mind my version.
