![]() The Americas: new portrayals of geographic features This map is an excellent representation of this history. Even after Kino published a map based on his travels refuting the claim (Paris, 1705), California as an island remained a fixture until the mid-eighteenth century. Father Eusebio Kino initially followed along with this theory but after extensive travels in what is now California, Arizona, and northern Mexico, he concluded that the island was actually a peninsula. Other prominent practitioners like Nicolas Sanson also adopted the new island and the practice became commonplace. The contemporaneous popularity of British cartographer John Speed’s 1626 world map, which included the island of California, may have also influenced Hondius’ decision to deviate from Mercator’s earlier depictions. Hondius borrowed his outline of California from another widely-distributed map, that of Henry Briggs and printed in Samuel Purchas’ Hakluytus Posthumus or Purchas his Pilgrimes (1625). ![]() These included this map’s author, Henricus Hondius, who published the first atlas map to focus solely on North America with the island prominently featured in 1636. The ideas spread about New Spain and, eventually, most likely via Dutch mariners and perhaps thanks to stolen charts, to the rest of Europe.īy the 1620s, many mapmakers chose to depict the peninsula as an island. The friar, Fray Antonio de la Ascension, also wrote a Relacion breve of his geographic ideas around 1620. A Carmelite friar who accompanied him later described the land as an island, a description first published in Juan Torquemada’s Monarquia Indiana (1613) with the island details curtailed somewhat. The creation of California as an island was most likely the result of a reading of the travel account of Sebastian Vizcaino, who had been sent north up the shore of California in 1602. Indeed, from its first portrayal on a printed map by Diego Gutiérrez, in 1562, California was shown as part of North America by mapmakers. The inclusion of California as an island here is noteworthy as it breaks from the earlier tradition of Gerardus Mercator and Abraham Ortelius, who correctly depicted Baja California as a peninsula after explorers’ accounts in the mid- to late-sixteenth century disproved early-sixteenth century claims of a sea separating California from the rest of the North American continent. In addition to the numerous beautiful illustrations and map details, several geographic features included on this map are notable, including California as an island, the riverine networks and lakes of North America, and the coastline of Australia.Ĭalifornia is shown here as an island, reflecting a widespread belief among Europeans from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. ![]() ![]() These portraits are not only eye-catching and historically relevant, but also serve to establish Dutch cartography (exemplified by Hondius and Mercator) alongside the Roman cartographic tradition. The map also includes portraits of Gerardus Mercator, Claudius Ptolemy, and Julius Caesar. The mapmaker Henricus Hondius was the son of famed cartographer Joducus Hondius, whose portrait appears at bottom left. Bordered by mythical scenes and fantastic beasts, the world map itself includes charming illustrations of sailing vessels and fish, adding further visual interest to an already engaging tableau. The embellished cartouches and whimsical illustrations make this map an excellent example of baroque-style Dutch cartography. The Hondius examples, however, remain some of the most detailed and decorative. As a result of its popularity, the map served as a base for other cartographers. Four states of this map have been noted between 16. The cartouche at bottom right includes the date 1630, marking this as the first state of the map. It includes unique geographic features and lush detail throughout.

Still, plenty of people publish posts making jokes about the holiday. Zynga Inc has declared that July 19th is National Words With Friends Day. It’s unclear how many people actually partake in the National Shower with a Friend Day festivities, as photos and details are not typically shared on social media -which we think is for the best. But hey, it was just strange enough to get your attention (you looked it up, after all), as it took advantage of the popularity of unofficial National Days online. While it’s nice to think that New Wave Enviro was looking out for our well-being, it seems their creation of National Shower with a Friend Day was, in reality, a sales gimmick, as the holiday was meant “to educate people on the benefits of showering in fresh, filtered water.” Fresh, filtered water best served through a New Wave Enviro shower filter, that is. National Shower with a Friend Day! Brought to you by New Wave Enviro Products!: ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Jan. This Nationally celebrated day will be celebrated the 5 th of February each year. National ‘Shower with a Friend Day’ has been proclaimed and recorded as a National Holiday. With dwindling daylight and Valentine’s Day at its heart, February can often leave people feeling somber. Winter is the coldest and loneliest season of the year. National Shower with a Friend Day was proclaimed in July 2014 by the National Day Calendar, a website which tracks these unofficial holidays that make the internet rounds, after it was registered by New Wave Enviro, a Colorado-based company that sells “Enviro Filters, Reusable Water bottles, and Litter Free Lunch products.”Īs New Wave Enviro explained in a 2015 press release: ![]() ![]() This is the format we have on our website and you simply copy the numbers exactly as they appear onto our lens ordering page: Here are some examples from different stores to show you the differences and how to decipher the information required: Glasses/lens prescriptions will have the same type of information on them but are written in a few different formats. This relates to the prism and the position of the lens and again, m ost prescriptions will not have this number. Most prescriptions will not have this number. This prism correction will prevent double vision and correct the imbalance. This means that there is a muscle imbalance between your eyes and that they do not work well together as a pair. I t’s important to know this measurement as it allows us to make your glasses with the lenses in the correct position. This is often not written on your prescription but we recommend that you ask your optician to measure and write it down when having your eyes tested as they will likely not do it unless asked in advance. Your pupil distance is exactly what it sounds like it’s the measurement between your pupils. We recommend that you ask your optician when having your eyes tested to include 'Inter/Intermediate' lens power or information if it exists as they often will no do it unless asked or discussed in advance. If you have numbers in this box it means that you have a prescription for either or both: 'intermediate' or/& 'reading'. This number is the amount of correction required to see close up or in-between such as reading or viewing supermarket shelves or the dashboard of your car. As we age, typically around 45 years old, our eyes lose the ability to focus at a reading or intermediate distance. This number relates to prescriptions which require a reading or inter mediate addition, hence the name ‘add’. This number relates to the astigmatism and how much correction is needed in degrees to correct it and will be a number between 1 - 180. This box may be blank on your prescription which means that you have perfectly round shaped eyes. The higher the number, the more irregular the shape of your eye. This refers to a condition called an ‘astigmatism’ and is caused by an irregular, or rugby ball shaped cornea. The number refers to the power of the lens and the higher the number, the stronger the prescription lens is. This indicates if you are long sighted (+) and can see things far away, or short sighted (-) and can see things close up. This box will have a ‘+’ or ‘– ‘symbol before the number.

![]() ![]() When looking into anything, it is always important (and fun!) to study the history of it to understand where it came from (especially if you want to make one of your own!) then you can build upon that knowledge and make your own freaking awesome telescopes! If nothing else, impress your friends with your vast knowledge lol. In the Starry Messenger Galileo had used the term “perspicillum”. The word “telescope” (from the Greek τῆλε, tele “far” and σκοπεῖν, skopein “to look or see” τηλεσκόπος, teleskopos “far-seeing”) was coined in 1611 by the Greek mathematician Giovanni Demisiani for one of Galileo Galilei’s instruments presented at a banquet at the Accademia dei Lincei. The word telescope now refers to a wide range of instruments detecting different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, and in some cases other types of detectors. In the 20th century many new types of telescopes were invented, including radio telescopes in the 1930s and infrared telescopes in the 1960s. Within a few decades, the reflecting telescope was invented, which used mirrors. They found use in terrestrial applications and astronomy. The first known practical telescopes were invented in the Netherlands at the beginning of the 17th century, using glass lenses. So lets go through a little bit of a brief history of telescopes, and then explore how you can create your own, fueled with some inspiration from all of these epic home made telescopes!! What Is A Telescope?Ī telescope is an instrument that aids in the observation of remote objects by collecting electromagnetic radiation (such as visible light). Nothing was an obstacle for the explorers of the past, they were able to fashion their own rudimentary telescopes with nothing but some ingenuity and the craving to explore the cosmos that they barely understood at the time. I had always dreamed of having one of my own but they were always too expensive, these days that isn’t as much of an obstacle, as technology advances things become easier to access, but in the era of the internet and the growing wealth of knowledge combined with the many DIY resources available to us today – nothing should be an obstacle when you can make your own! Ever since I was a boy I was fascinated with space, the stars, and telescopes and the wonders that lay in our universe waiting to be discovered. Some are super massive modern marvels and others are just your regular every day telescope that we have become accustomed to. There are many types of telescopes in the world today. ![]() ![]() ![]() The full detail of the methodology can be found on the S&P Global Platts website. As an example, an index value of 200 reflects a doubling of price since the year 2000. These values are compared with the average spot prices in 2000, similarly weighted by demand during that period, to generate a percentage figure reflecting the overall rise in markets compared to the base period. When a market is not assessed on a particular day, for instance because of a market holiday, the previous working day's spot market price assessment is used.Įach of the individual Platts' assessments is given a weighting by Platts in the regional baskets, based primarily on demand for jet fuel in the region in a similar way, each of the regional indices is given a weighting in the Global Composite Index. Platts Jet Fuel Price Index is published by S&P Global Platts, reflecting its daily assessments of jet fuel spot prices in the physical spot market of relevant regional centers. Jet fuel price developments - longer term perspective Methodology for Platts Jet Fuel price index Taking a look at the price action over the past 24 months Asian jet fuel market rose much less than the rise in crude oil prices despite increasing air travel demand in the region as jet fuel production in the region remains ample.Increased domestic jet fuel production supplemented by imports kept the US jet fuel market well supplied as demand surged in relation to the 4th of July travel peak.Low water levels on the Rhine restricted barge loads, pushing up transportation cost and prices. The European jet market picked up amid rising oil prices and stronger jet fuel demand during the summer travel peak.Oil prices rebounded after announcement by OPEC+ on 3 July of deep cuts in oil production with Saudi Arabia extending its earlier cut of 1,000,000 b/d (to 9,000,000 b/d) till at least August and Russia and Algeria committing to cuts of 500,000 b/d and 20,000 b/d respectively. ![]() The global average jet fuel price last week was up 2.3% compared to the week before at $97.78/bbl. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When a macromanager directs a system, first he will focus on the system's entities and thereafter he will change them so that the system spontaneously moves to the defined aim, i.e. Macromanagement is a close concept to the economic concept of mechanism design. Macromanagement is the act of leading decision makers or managing the managers. An organization that practices macromanagement greatly considers the future of the organization, the future of society, and their impact on one another.įreebase Rate this definition: 0.0 / 0 votes This interpretation of macromanagement is less about managing employees, but rather managing the organization from a broader perspective that is oriented toward the future. In 1971, Alan Wells defined a social institution as “patterns of rules, customs, norms, beliefs and roles that are instrumentally related to the needs and purposes of society.” Other examples of social institutions in this respect include government and religious organizations, some more in-line with serving society that others. To do this, they align the organization’s values, norms, ethics with those of the society they are immersed in. Micromanagement also tends to revolve around short-term results, whereas macromanagement puts an emphasis on long-term results.Both styles of management are viewed as a negative when taken to an extreme, so it is important for organizations to develop a balance of micro- and macromanagement practices and understand when to apply which.ĭownsides to macromanagement include disconnect between managers and employees and a lack of understanding of the roles of employees, both of which can lead to an impression of bureaucracy in a workplace.Another interpretation of macromanagement is when an organization views itself as a social institution, orienting its goals and purpose toward serving society. Managers step back and give employees the freedom to do their job how they think it is best done, so long as the desired result is reached. Macromanagement is a style of leadership that is hands-off or from afar, allowing employees to have more freedom and control over their own work, while employers may shift focus to strategic long-term goals.Contrary to micromanagement where managers closely observe and control the works of their employees, macromanagement is a more independent style of organizational management.

"But the people of India need answers on the USD 3.072 billion (25,200 crore at current conversion levels) deal for 31 MQ-9B (16 Sky Guardian and 15 Sea Guardian) High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) - commonly known as MQ-9B Predator UAV Drones manufactured by only one entity - General Atomics," he said, adding these are not the latest in the town. So much so that the Defence Ministry had to release an official PIB clarification and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh had to clarify, he claimed. Khera said as the dust settles on all "manufactured glitter" on PM Narendra Modi's much publicised visit to the USA, there is one defence deal which is now under the radar of several questions. It had said that the Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) accorded to the procurement by the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) noted the estimated cost of USD 3,072 million (one million=10 lakh) as provided by the US government, adding the price will be negotiated once policy approval from Washington is received. Trashing reports on the price as well as the acquisition process, the Defence Ministry had said on Sunday that India is yet to finalise the cost and specific terms of purchase of 31 MQ-9B long endurance drones from the US and it will examine the "best price" offered by the manufacturer to other nations before concluding the procurement. ![]() Otherwise, we will be trapped in another 'scam' under the Modi Government," he told reporters. India needs answers to the crucial questions. ![]() In a typically British move, the UK air force has renamed its Reaper squadron as the Protector, to make it sound friendlier."We demand complete transparency in this Predator Drone deal. In the meantime, the Reaper is the new platform of choice for military use by the US and its allies. Instead the manufacturer, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, has redeveloped the drone for civilian government use, renamed it the SkyGuardian, and is trying to flog it to police forces around the world. The retirement of the Predator doesn't mean they will be banished from the skies. "And after making life and death decisions all day, it doesn't matter. "You come home and have to make all the little choices about the kids' clothes or if I parked in the right place," said retired drone pilot Lieutenant Colonel Bruce Black. There's also the dislocation of spending a day fighting remotely in a cubical and then going home to see the wife and kids. The study suggested that whereas conventional pilots seldom see the results of attacks, drone operators stay on station to record the attack. While drone pilots suffer lower levels of post-traumatic stress disorder than pilots on the ground, a 2013 study found, the mental strains are heavier for controllers operating from home. That saves a lot of costs, but also comes with its own problems. Predator and Reaper drones typically have a two-person crew – one to fly the aircraft and the other to handle weapons systems. Drone fliers don't even need to be in the same locale – or even the same continent – as the aircraft they are flying, thanks to reliable satellite control feeds. And when it comes to drones, cost is a critical argument. ![]() ![]() A 2017 review concluded there was a lack of quality evidence to suggest blue light-blocking lenses benefit the general population. Studies into the effects of blue light on eye health have yielded mixed results. Learn more about digital eye strain here. The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) states that blue light-blocking products are unnecessary when using digital devices because it is a lack of blinking and moisture that causes digital eye strain. Currently, there have been no firm conclusions about how blue light may affect a person’s eye health. Check out our great selection of computer glasses with glare and blue light protection.There has been much debate about how the blue light from screens may affect human health. The pros of the latter outweigh the cons and puts it above, overall the former. If you want protection when and how you need it, with no effect on the quality of your expensive screens, anti-glare glasses might be for you. If you want thorough screen protection as well as glare protection, a screen protector may be for you. Before eyes adjust, can change the hue of the screen.Require that you wear them to work (not always working).Often reduce blue light and/or UV light as well.Screen quality remains the same, as does touch sensitivity. ![]() Does not change perception of screen color.However, studies show that after a time this perception adjusts and the color seems no different. When first applied, these glasses (which typically include amber or yellow tint) can have a slight change in color perception. The one drawback besides the necessity of wearing glasses is a slight color change. Sunglasses with glare protection exist, and they make it possible to use devices in sunny or bright places. For example, some need glare protection mostly when using devices outdoors in the sun. For non-glasses wearers, it depends on the context. Glasses wearers, simply need to update their lenses to include glare protection. It brings with it the added fact, you'll be wearing glasses too. Like the screen protector, it also reduces glare. ![]() This accessory has grown in popularity in recent years. Requires a screen cover for every device to get protection.Attached to your device, always working.If you want screen protection in addition to anti-glare, and the reduction in quality does not concern you, Anti-glare screen protectors might be for you. So, while these covers do work for their stated purpose, in addition to providing screen protection, they aren't perfect just yet. If you stream, watch, or play on the screens with glare problems, you want the quality you paid for. One of the main drawbacks with these is that they lower screen quality. No need for an app, or accessory to make them work. They are effective and are always active. They reduce glare, and protect your screen from damage. These screen protectors are applied directly to your device. ![]() Today we run down what each of the two technologies are, the pros, the cons, and an overall estimate of which one solves the problem better. So, how do you fix it? Two solutions on the market offer glare relief: Anti-Glare Screen Protectors and Anti-Glare Glasses. This also harms your eyes, if you've heard about the problems with artificial blue light. An unfortunate consequence of this, the glare harms your eyes, but it also causes you to increase your phone's brightness. using digital screens in highly lit areas almost without exception causes an increase in glare. Whether a laptop, TV, or phone, glare makes your screen harder to see and harms your eyes. If you weren't aware already, the glare on your screens is a problem. ![]() |
