What world-schooling looks like for our family…
Posted by Hat | Feb 12, 2014 | Alternative Education, Living Differently, USA | 3
(this is going to be a long post… with lots of photos…)
A few months ago, I wrote a post (also with lots of photos) about what road-schooling looks like for our family (after we'd embarked upon a 6 week road trip around South Africa).
Followers of this blog will know that our kids don't go to school and we educate our kids differently (although I'm reluctant to pigeon-hole our educational philosophy with names like homeschooling / unschooling / life-learning / interested-led learning / whatever!)
I will say this though: we have our children's best interests at heart – far more than any self-appointed expert or well-meaning stranger.
And, I'll also say this: I do not believe there is one, single right way to educate a child.
So. That said. Here's a quick look at what "school" on the road (and around the world) looks like for our family:
ANIMALS, PLANTS & WILDLIFE…
The kids learned about manatees at the aquarium at Disney's Epcot… (there were lots of them in a big tank – and we watched them being fed). Later, in Titusville, we went on an excursion to find manatees in their natural habitat. Their first popular hang-out area was empty… but we eventually found one languishing happily in one of the canals close to Merritt Island.
We also learned about tigers and bats at Disney's Animal Kingdom…
We watched a documentary on Great White Sharks – on a huge curved IMAX screen at the Science Museum in Tampa.
Now that we're in Cape Town, the conversation (about Great Whites) has returned… the kids met a Cape Fur Seal (called Pirate) in the Hout Bay Harbour yesterday. Knowing that Great Whites eat seals – Joah has expressed concern about Pirate's safety. There's also a second-hand store in Kalk Bay that had a bowl of shark teeth. The kids were fascinated with the serrated edges – and reminded me how sharks grow new teeth (whenever old ones fall out).
In Tampa (and this was a first for me too) – we watched pelicans dive for fish off the pier at …. beach. Loved it!
The kids have seen a lot of alligators in their natural habitat. We went on an excursion to find some… and we did! (Although it's definitely not hard to find gators in Florida). There have been lots of discussions about the difference between gators and crocs.
The Wild Centre in the Adirondacks offered a wonderful immersion into the wildlife of the area. We watched a short documentary on moose… the kids watched river otters play (and listened to an interesting talk given by one of the museum volunteers)… and, of course, we learned about trout (a lesson Joah will never forget).
There was also an opportunity to sniff the scents left by beaver, mink and otter (and to try and determine which was which).
The Natural History Museum in DC had fantastic displays on all kinds of wildlife (both alive and extinct).
One of the museum volunteers gave a talk and a demonstration on different spiders. She had a few tarantulas and showed how they could shed their entire exoskeleton. The museum had a fantastic bug and butterfly display too.
The art museum in Baltimore also had a fabulous bug display…
The Wild Centre had an interactive exhibit on different bogs. For some reason, Morgan really loved the bogs. There were different mushy things to touch and sniff – and they had a mock-bog that you could walk on.
And in Fort Christmas (Florida) – the kids learned how to bleed a tree and make turpentine…
And… they studied varies samples of plants, shells and fossils at the Museum of Natural History…
One of the things I appreciate and respect about the United States… is how they have preserved their history.
There are endless historical sites (not to mention all the museums) that you can visit… and almost everything has been beautifully and carefully curated. I could spend months… years… in the United States – simply drinking in all the museums, monuments and history!
Needless to say… the kids experienced American history first-hand.
It began with the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC… followed by a visit to the theatre where he was shot… and the house (across the road from the theatre) where he died.
Morgan didn't care too much about Abraham Lincoln… UNTIL…. she saw a large model of a slave ship (in the American History Museum). The story of the slaves had an enormous impact on Morgan. She was utterly mortified. She kept imagining Adelaide (who worked for us for many years)… in that situation. She stayed at the slave exhibit for a long time – and she asked me a lot of questions about all that. She was particularly revolted by the idea that slaves were viewed as "things" or "shipments" or "merchandise"… instead of people.
When I told her that Abraham Lincoln was one of the key people in the fight to abolish slavery – suddenly, he was no longer just a huge, marble statue. Suddenly, he was a very important man – "Like Nelson Mandela" she said.
Learning about maritime history and tobacco ships… and slave ships… at the American History Museum…
We enjoyed an unexpected treat at Fort Christmas – where we were able to walk through numerous restored cabins from the early 1800's…(perfectly preserved and furnished).
Also at Fort Christmas was an old school house where the kids got a taste of what actual school might feel like…
In the town of White Springs (Florida)… we had a fantastic history lesson about a famous medicinal spring, the tourism that grew around it… and Stephen Foster's music. The Stephen Foster Museum houses 10 gorgeous, moving dioramas dedicated to Stephen Foster's most famous songs. There's also a bell tower with the world's largest tubular bells.
We visited a lot of museums – and the United States certainly knows how to do museums.
As far as American History goes, I think the National Museum of American History (in DC) was one of our favourite visits. We spent the whole day browsing (and didn't come close to seeing all of the exhibits).
Oh – and one more American History experience… we learned about the Street Car (or Trolley) on a tour of downtown Tampa. Here's a pic:
… and while on the trolley, we learned about the historic region of Tampa called Ybor (famous for it's Cuban community and, in particular, it's cigars)…
Oh… and also the ridiculously gorgeous Tampa landmark (which we briefly toured) – the Henry B. Plant Museum…
EGYPTIAN HISTORY
Morgan and Joah's keen interest in mummies and ancient Egypt came (ironically) after Universal Studios and "The Mummy" Ride. So… I purchased a book all about "King Tut" – and read it to the family as we drove from Orlando to Tampa.
There are 3 museums in particular that had awesome exhibits which explained more about ancient Egypt. The Natural History Museum (in DC), the Indianapolis Children's Museum (which boasted interactive exhibits)… and the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore (which even handed out treasure maps to the kids so that they could locate important pieces on their own).
Morgan and Joah's Greek grandparents were born and raised in Egypt… so there's an extra incentive to learn about the area.
We visited a chocolate factory and museum in Pennsylvania. We watched a documentary on the entire chocolate-making process (from cocoa bean to finished bar of chocolate)… and then the kids watched as factory workers created all kinds of yummies with melted chocolate.
Joah has a thing for dinosaurs… and we had ample opportunity to learn about – and experience – dinosaurs whilst on our American Road Trip. From Dino Land and Dino rides (in Disney's Animal Kingdom)…. to the huge Jurassic Park section at Universal Studios… to the more serious dino exhibits at the Natural History Museum (in Washington DC).
Probably the best dino experience came courtesy of the Indianapolis Children's Museum… they had a gob-smacking section on dinosaurs – most of which was interactive. Joah's favourite part was getting to stroke the real fossilised bone that once belonged to a T-Rex.
Even here in Cape Town, Joah's dino-fascination remains in tact. He has been bending the ear of our hosts, Meg and Miles, with all his T-Rex facts – and has been begging me to buy Cheerios (because they come with collectable dinosaurs).
(Above): Joah touching the T-Rex femur…
We had ample opportunity to learn about planes, jets and rockets. First we visited the Kennedy Space Centre… and then, we visited the National Air & Space Museum in DC. The kids had loads of questions – and it was so much fun to show them instead of just tell them.
The National Air & Space Museum had a huge section on "How Things Fly" designed especially for kids. There were endless interactive games and experiments that helped the kids better understand how flying is possible.
Joah *flying* a Cessna…
Experimenting with a shuttle cockpit…
We had loads of opportunity to learn about… and to experience… trains. Firstly, there was the Chattanooga Choo-Choo Hotel & Museum (our hotel used to be the old train station). There were lots of steam trains that the kids could climb on… a small museum explaining the history of the trains… and a large model railway.
The Indianapolis Children's Museum also had a lovely section on the history of rail… (and loads of interactive things for kids to see and do). We also learned more about trains at the American History Museum.
I have a thing for old steam locomotives – so there was a lot of ooooh'ing and aaaah'ing from me.
Science lessons came in numerous forms. We visited MOSI (the science museum in Tampa)… again, with endless interactive exhibits, experiments and learning experiences. It was also where we watched the documentary on sharks… and visited the planetarium… and a hurricane simulator (speaking of simulators, we had also experienced a tornado simulator in Epcot)…
Experimenting with electricity currents…
Inside the hurricane simulator…
Mirror maze…
Loads of interactive water experiments at the Glazer Children's Museum in Tampa…
And… speaking of science, we also visited the birthplace of Thomas Edison (which housed a lovely museum explaining more about his various inventions). As a gift, the kids were given a lightbulb pendant (which they still have).
Nick and the kids outside the house where Edison was born…
As you probably know, I'm an artist… so wherever we travel, the art materials go with us. Needless to say, there was endless opportunity for drawing, painting and scrapbooking as we travelled…
Morgan creating designs with her new airbrush (a Christmas prezzie)…
Painting and scratching designs into foil at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore…
There was also the opportunity for experiments with various crafts. In White Springs, the kids learned about pottery making, weaving and they even visited a blacksmith who helped them make an iron hanging hook! 🙂
At the blacksmith…
Morgan proudly displaying her woven coaster…
And… of course… we also visited art museums, including the National Portrait Gallery and the (ridiculously awesome!) Walters Art Museum in Baltimore…
GEOGRAPHY & CLIMATE
Well… nothing like travel to teach kids about geography and about the world.
They now get it… they understand that the world is far, far bigger than South Africa. They understand that the United States has various time-zones and climates – and that it's possible to wear shorts and swim in the sea in Florida… but, if you drive north for a bit, you can enjoy snow, frozen lakes and ice-fishing in upstate New York! 🙂
Walking on a frozen lake in the Adirondacks, New York…
Now – they can't wait to explore other countries! I think the travel-bug has bitten! 🙂
This post is already too long… but I have endless photos and stories to share of what we saw, experienced and learned during our 2 month road trip in the USA.
What we love most about this kind of learning is that it's fun… it's exciting… it's interesting.
When you can see… experience… experiment… touch… taste… smell…. it's so much easier to get the lesson at hand. That's what world-schooling is about – it's about learning and growing and understanding and exploring… while journeying.
And yes… there was loads of play-time and fun-time too! (We're big believers in play-as-learning)
And yes… (for the cynics)… we also are covering reading, writing and counting. Don't worry, we're not spawning two illiterate, undisciplined terrors. There are still rules and chores and not-necessarily-fun stuff that they have to do… (as we all have to do… dirty dishes and invoicing being a case in point!)…
Some of our books & learning materials…
But, in all… this way of life really works for us. It's really important for Nick and I that our children love learning. I never want them to see learning as a boring, hateful chore… or as something they are forced to do.
Anyway… on that note… I'm going to end off (Joah wants to swim – so I'm going downstairs to watch him).

Fantastic and inspirational post – no school experience could possibly hope to teach as much as your children would have learned. I am looking forward to reading more. Not too long at all.
Heather Costaras	on Feb 12, 2014 at 12:39 pm
Thanks, David! We feel the same way. And even speaking for myself as a "grown-up", I have learned far more from travel and these kinds of experiences, than I learned from school (especially highschool)… 🙂

Very cool! Your kids have an awesome life 🙂

So did you hear? The SELFIE became a thing during 2013. Now I've been taking selfies for years now- I guess before they became selfies. I know I know they've become a little bit lame or so the cool kids have decided. Considering I've never in my life been considered a cool kid I'm going to continue to embracing the selfies!
This past week I participated in my last 7 Days project. My friend Sarah started it 7 years ago and I joined in on the fun on year 2. I didn't particate every time (it ran 4 times a year- winter, spring, summer and autumn) but I tried to join in whenever I remembered. Soo much fun and so many funny memories for me.
Back when I first started the project I don't think smartphones and self portraits had found it's partnership yet- at least not in my world so I used to lug my Nikon D200 around- photos of my buying tampons and me in the bath were interesting shots to get. With the explosion of smartphones and my buying my Samsung Galaxy camera it because easier and just as much fun. I guess when you have the selfie bug it doesn't matter how you capture it as long as you capture it!
Next Post Kitchen Remodel: The big reveal!
good thing too- as I can't stop taking them!

Q: HDFS replication factor on single node cluster Can I have more than one replica's for single node cluster? i have updated replication factor as 2 in hdfs-site.xml and restarted all nodes, but still only one block created for new files, help me to get clarity on this

A: No. You can't have more than one replication factor for a single node cluster. What makes you think that it is even possible?
Replication is the procedure to save your data so that you don't lose it in any worst conditions. If you're setting it to 2, that means you want your data to be copied on 2 nodes(machines) so that if one goes down you'll still have your data safe on another node.
Now, the default replication provided by Hadoop is 3. Which means there will 3 Replications(Copy) of data on 3 different nodes on different racks(That's another concept which is called Hadoop's Rack awareness)
So you won't be able to get more than one copy of your data on a Single node cluster. I hope it clears your query!

Q: functional relation I need to find functions $f : \mathbb{R}_{+} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ which satisfies
$$ f(0) =1 $$
$$ f(\max(a,b))=f(a)f(b)$$
For each $a,b \geq 0$.
I have found two functions which satisfy my criteria.
$$ f_1(x)=1$$
$$f_2(x) = \begin{cases}
0, & \text{if } x>0 \\
1, & \text{if } x=0
\end{cases}
$$
Is there another function which satisfies my criteria?

A: Since $f(a)f(b)=f(b)$ for all $b\ge a$, either $f(b)=0$ or $f(a)=1$. If $f(a)=0$, then $f(b)=0$ for all $b\ge a$. If $f(b)=1$, then $f(a)=1$ for all $a\le b$.
Thus, it appears that for any $a\ge0$, the functions
$$
f_a^+(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{}
1&\text{for }x\le a\\
0&\text{for }x\gt a
\end{array}\right.
$$
and for any $a\gt0$, the functions
$$
f_a^-(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{}
1&\text{for }x\lt a\\
0&\text{for }x\ge a
\end{array}\right.
$$
and the function
$$
f_\infty(x)=1\quad\text{for all }x
$$
all satisfy the conditions, and these should be all.

A: For any $x>0$, from $f(x)=f(x)^2$ it follows that $f(x)=0$ or $1$. Prove that, if $f(a)=1$ then $f(x)=1 \ \forall x\leq a$.

DVD Review: 'A Thousand Times Goodnight'
Published on 9 September 2014 10 February 2018 by CineVue
Erik Poppe's globetrotting drama A Thousand Times Goodnight (2013) opens to an extraordinarily tense scene. War photographer Rebecca (French star Juliette Binoche) stands at a graveside in Kabul; women clad in black wail at the graveside, mourning the loss of a presumed loved one, before a figure within the grave rises. The woman, as we can see, is very much alive and is a suicide bomber, going through ritualistic preparations before she commits her violent act. Throughout this surreal ordeal, Rebecca watches on, documenting all that happens with her camera – "click, click, click". She even goes as far as to travel along in a van with the suicide bomber until she awakens to the perilous predicament she's in.
The inevitable happens, the bomb injuring Rebecca who, after a stint in a hospital, is reunited with her husband, Marcus (Game of Thrones' Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), and two daughters – the eldest of whom is played by bright young spark Lauryn Canny. This reunion is far from smooth. Marcus is furious at Rebecca's lack of concern for her family. This is, in essence, the crux of the story: how can Rebecca balance being her passion for her work – which frequently requires her to enter hostile and hazardous conditions – and her responsibilities as a mother and wife? Poppe's feature is loaded with moral quandaries triggered by the opening scene. How can Rebecca morally justify snapping the suicide bomber and watching people die as a result? Was it right to put herself in such a situation with a family waiting for her?
Poppe makes a strong attempt at trying to understand the devil-may-care attitude of war photographers, who throw themselves into situations with a strong risk of death. This is, of course, made even more pertinent by the fact she's a woman. The number of female photographers and correspondents has increased in recent years, with the likes of Lynsey Addario, Andrea Bruce and Agnès Dherbeys able to access areas in certain parts of the world inaccessible to men. This is explored with pathos, particularly in the scenes involving Rebecca and her eldest Stephanie (Lauryn Canny), who struggles to understand why her mother would choose such a life. During one painful moment in a car, her daughter grabs the camera and starts taking pictures, shaming her mother as she repeatedly asks her whether it was "worth it". Binoche, tears streaming down her face, is unable to respond.
An attempt at reconciliation with her daughter is made by Rebecca with a trip to Kenya. But the situation turns treacherous with the arrival of soldiers to the village, proving once again the danger of her work. A Thousand Times Goodnight's topical subject matter has been oft-covered in documentary form, particularly in Sebastian Junger's superior Which Way Is the Front Line from Here (2013), detailing the life and death of conflict photojournalist Tim Hetherington. To see this in a fiction feature, even if the themes are far from original, certainly makes for engaging viewing, with Binoche's potent performance cutting to the quick of the struggle to balance a passion for work with a commitment to the family at home.

Over at my blog, WOTF winner Patty Jansen offers up a guest post on the importance of finishing what you start, and knowing when to abandon a manuscript that's going nowhere: http://kanearts.net/wordpress/2012/02/09/on-finishing-what-you-start-a-guest-post-by-patty-jansen/
[...] It is all too easy, when you get bogged down in a manuscript without a clear way forward, to start the next new shiny thing, until that becomes bogged down, too, and you can start on the next new shiny thing. And so on and so forth. Rinse and repeat. Manuscripts build up in the proverbial drawer and none of them are finished. Sound familiar? Then you're a serial non-finisher. The best advice for you is that you need some discipline and to grab the manuscript you feel most strongly about and finish it to perfection.
On the flip side, who doesn't know at least one new writer who has spent the last five years churning out draft after draft of the same book? Often, the book is a typical first-ever-novel mess, the characters are Mary-Sue-ish and the plot meandering if not downright absent. And every time someone in the writers' group says something, the writer goes off and does another draft, because member X said it could be about a conspiracy and member Z said that the characters are flat. So obviously the plot-less book needs a conspiracy and all the characters need lots of personal problems... [...]

You made some good points there - all good ones - especially about the learning curve from doing anything writing related. Here's my 2 cents on the matter.
A story has countless parts, countless attacke stragedies, countless nuances of... every conceivable thing. You get what I'm getting at. My point is this - strive to write a complete story - you mention 'banging your head against the wall' - I say don't look at it that way - explore man - seek logical bridges - meander - try new approaches, new voices, whatever. Do you think the greats in this field ever talk about banging thier heads? I had a football coach that made us yell, 'Gotta love it!' every time we ran sprints. No matter what - keep the love. Do the work. Try to publish. If you don't succeed - keep learning and keep trying - do it all. do it often.
OK - you can stop waving our lighters around now - I'm finished - HA.

Thinking of Building a New House? A Beginner's Guide to Getting Your Thoughts and Ideas Together.
The good news on the economy is that new home construction is on the mend. The recession had all but killed it for many home builders who unfortunately went out of business. The question we get asked is where are the Custom Home Builders? This is a dilemma leaving new home buyers scratching their heads wondering when and where to find a good reputable custom home builder, that is someone other than the typical, somewhat inflexible tract cookie-cutter house builder.
For anyone looking to build a home it begins with an idea of the style and type of home one is considering. There are many house designs to chose from with bungalows, colonials, farmhouses, craftsman, contemporary, ranch, modern, prairie, traditional and many more. It is a good idea early on to narrow the choices of the architectural style of the home you intend to build. Then when you talk to a custom home builder or your architect you can get an idea of what you are considering is feasible for the locality in which you plan to build.
Do you even need an architect?
Having an architect is not essential for new home design. There are many home designers who design magnificent homes and are not licensed architects. The home designer can, if need be, approach an architect for a stamp of approval.
At this stage it is not advisable to cement ideas to your wish list because you may not get everything your heart desires. There are many practical and impractical considerations to take into account when planning a new home. Some decisions are out of your control and in the hands of the local planning and zoning department. For example, here in Hudson Ohio we have an architectural review board that reserves the right to reject and accept an entire home design or it can be as minor as shutters and deck screws. Plus, if you already have a building site there may be issues that can affect the final design such as wetlands, riparian right-of-ways, height and width restrictions, sight restrictions and more.
In the early stage of your journey focus on floor plans and your architectural main theme. Are you more of a traditionalist with a Norman Rockwell kind of look or are you at the other end with the Phillip Johnson ultra-modern glass house? Most of us are somewhere in the middle. With the basic architectural style at hand it is easier to move from floor plan to floor plan and to create a set of functions that appeal to you. Ask yourself about the priorities, such as 1st floor laundry off the garage, or do you prefer it in the basement or perhaps on the 2nd floor.
Maybe the laundry room is not an issue but you are fond of entertaining. Since we know that company always ends up in the kitchen then maybe you want to make the kitchen a priority. It is entirely possible to design the kitchen of your dreams and then have the architect or home designer to create a house around the kitchen!
Another consideration is how you get things done in your home. If you work out of the house you may need a home office. If going to the gym is a regular occurrence you might want an exercise area. Though the living room has faded away in many new home designs there are some people who still want it. As you think of how the house will be used then jot down some ideas or create an idea book at Houzz.
Without a doubt in today's homes the modern bathroom is a priority. The bathroom is an excellent space in which to glamorize with function, storage, lighting and the latest in showering accessories. Today's shower is more than a space to water by way of a simple faucet and shower head. It can be a complete bathing experience with steam, pulsating jets where 'pampering' oneself rules. And it should be that way.
Nothing like a new custom house.
Another step in the path of building your ultimate dream house is to consider the other members of your family, especially if there are young children, or future plans to have a room for retired parents or in-laws. With young children their needs are completely different from their needs when teens. With toddlers and young kids it is all about safety, with teens it is all about how to get them to vacate the nest, which is more of a challenge when the space they are enjoying is a bit too cozy.
Let us know if we can help you with a new home.
Nice article. Much is said and it gives me an idea of how to get started. My wife and I are looking for a builder and like it is suggested we prefer the hands-on approach with a custom builder. We have friends who built in subdivisions and though they were allowed upgrades it seemed to be frowned upon.
Are there developers who build subdivisions that allow for a buyer to bring his/her own builder?
Thanks for the article. I just typed in the words "how to build a house" and here is an answer!
Anyone can build a world class shed with the right set of tools and a set of plans.
Plans for all types of sheds.

West Ham join two more Premier League clubs in race for former Chelsea bad boy
by Jamie Wilkinson ( @jamiew_tc) on Jul 12, 2019, 11:00am
West Ham United are exploring the possibility of signing former Chelsea striker Diego Costa from Atletico Madrid this summer, according to a report published by the Mirror.
Costa departed Chelsea back in September 2017, with his relationship with manager Antonio Conte becoming too poisonous to prolong in an already challenging dressing room.
He returned to Atletico Madrid, the club who he left to become a Chelsea player. After just four goals in 29 La Liga appearances, it's safe to say that it didn't prove to be a successful move.
The Mirror report that he could be set to leave Atletico this summer, with the Spanish giants already announcing the eventual permanent acquisition of former Blue Alvaro Morata.
One club that we didn't expect to be seen linked with securing his services is West Ham, yet we should know to expect anything in football nowadays. The Mirror claim they're interested.
Their report notes that both Everton and Wolves are also in the running. It remains to be seen whether any of them can successfully convince him to return to the Premier League this summer.

RIT and Genesee Country Village & Museum seal partnership with $1.3 million gift
September 20, 2019 10:40 AM | many info (Administrator)
University and museum will collaborate on projects, research and exhibits

Rochester Institute of Technology has received a $1.3 million gift to endow its partnership between the university and Genesee Country Village & Museum.
The gift comes from RIT alumnus Philip Wehrheim and his wife, Anne. Wehrheim received a degree in business from RIT in 1966.
The gift marries Wehrheim's interest in both RIT and the museum.
"For me to be able to do this for the museum and also for my alma mater is a perfect fit," he said.
James Winebrake, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, said that while his college will manage the gift, the fund will support projects involving all colleges at RIT.
"Experiential learning is a hallmark of our university," Winebrake said. "This gift will guarantee opportunities for our students to gain valuable experience while benefitting the museum and the community for years to come."
Becky Wehle, president and CEO of the living history museum in Mumford, N.Y., 12 miles southwest of RIT's Henrietta campus, said she is enthusiastic about the potential the gift holds for both organizations.
"RIT is an extraordinary place with world-class programs, faculty and students who have already proved to be great partners throughout the past three years," she said. "We are thrilled that Phil and Anne Wehrheim's support will allow the partnership to expand and benefit both institutions."
$1 million of the donation will be used to endow the partnership, which could include funding research projects and stipends for faculty and students to work collaboratively with museum staff. The remaining $300,000 will be used to establish and maintain exhibit space for students who worked with the partnership to highlight fruits of the collaboration.
The museum and RIT have worked together on numerous projects in recent years, and a memorandum of understanding to collaborate was signed in 2016 to "develop, promote and implement mutually-beneficial projects and activities" related to their respective missions. Students used 3-D printing to fabricate appropriately-sized hands for mannequins, worked with Amelia Hugill-Fontanel, assistant curator in the Cary Collection, to dismantle and move the museum's 19th-century printing press and developed streetscapes of the historic Corn Hill neighborhood of Rochester.
Over the past three years, more than a dozen RIT students have served as interns at the museum, working in the curatorial, marketing and gallery departments.
"This partnership provides students and faculty from across the university with an incredible opportunity to combine theory and practice in a meaningful way through multidisciplinary projects," said Juilee Decker, associate professor of museum studies and chair of the RIT-GCV&M Partnership Steering Committee.
Since the museum partnership began three years ago, faculty members also have been taking advantage of it in their classes.
A multi-disciplinary team of engineering students this fall will work to develop a process for managing the museum's maintenance records. The database will be helpful for documenting work done as well as for planning and budgeting future restoration.
Photography students from RIT's College of Art and Design shoot photos there each year; a group of researchers from hospitality and tourism management in the Saunders College of Business are conducting market research on a project on authenticity and sincerity in project exhibits; and students and faculty are using technology to enhance the visitor experience during museum tours using volumetric renderings to tell stories.
Wehrheim grew up in Scottsville, a village between RIT's Henrietta campus and Mumford, and said he's always been "a bit of a history buff," thanks, in part, to his mother, who sold antiques and gave him an appreciation of fine artwork and glass.
He was close friends with Stuart Bolger, the founding director of the museum, and served on its board of trustees for more than 15 years, supporting projects including bringing buildings to the museum property. He was chair of the board when the museum started to discuss a partnership with RIT and was instrumental in bringing it to fruition.
"I love the place. It's great," Wehrheim said. "The people there have been wonderful."
While a student at RIT, he credits his experiential learning – at the time, called "work block" – to help him succeed in school. RIT's co-op program continues today, as one of the oldest and largest in the nation.
"You schooled for about a three-month period and worked for a three-month period," he said. "As a young guy, I was very impressed with how well it worked. I was a very practical learner and didn't like sitting in a classroom. I liked hands-on learning. So, I sing the praises of the school for that reason, and this partnership continues that tradition of learning."

Genesee Country Village & Museum is the largest living history museum in New York and the third largest in the country. The museum, with its 19th-century historic village, John L. Wehle Gallery, vintage baseball park and nature center, is located in Mumford, 20 miles southwest of Rochester and 45 miles east of Buffalo. Visit www.gcv.org for more information.

Adding Music and Audio to Aperture 3 Movies
By Derrick Story on August 27, 2010 9:35 AM
Music and audio add presence to our slideshows and movies. The combination of ambient sound, such as waves lapping up on a beach, and a soundtrack, such as a guitar solo, transforms our pictures into experiences.
Aperture provides two methods for managing these audio tracks, and I want to review them quickly so you can take full advantage of what this application offers for movie making.
Two types of soundtracks: Top -- "Secondary Audio Track," which is editable, and Bottom -- Main Audio Track, which has other advantages.
There are two types of audio tracks for Aperture multimedia presentations: Main Audio Track, and the Secondary Audio Track. Each has their advantages, and I often use them together in my presentations.
The Main Audio Track is the simplest to use. Click on the "Display Audio Browser" icon in the Aperture interface (music note image) and select a song from your iTunes library. Drag it to the background of your slideshow timeline, and it converts to green (as shown in the bottom image). You can't edit this soundtrack, per se, but you can do two very important things: "Fit Slides to Main Audio Track," and "Align Slides to Beats." Both options are found in the gear popup menu on the toolbar.
I particularly like "Align Slides to Beats." You can see that I used it in the illustration above. The slides range from 3.9 to 4.1 seconds as Aperture keeps your images and music in sync. Try it, I think you'll like the results.
If your show goes longer than the song you chose for it, you can add a Secondary Audio Track. This time, when you drag the audio from the browser, drag it to the bottom of the particular slide where you want the track to begin, as show in the top illustration. Unfortunately you can't use "Align Slides to Beats" with secondary tracks, but you can control their length by clicking on the end of the track and dragging.
You have other options too. Click on the track to highlight it, then choose "Adjust Audio" from the gear menu. You have some useful volume and fade controls available. These are particulary helpful when both soundtracks overlap, and you want to control their respective volumes. (Yes, Adjust Audio is available for the Main track too.)
With just a little fiddling around with these controls, you can raise the level of your presentation to professional heights.

As Path for Tropical Storm Isaias Changes, Forecasters Now Say Could Hit Statewide with Strong Winds, GMP Urging Safety
National Weather Service Says Storm Will Track Further West, increasing Wind Threat Across State
COLCHESTER, Vt. – The forecast for Tropical Storm Isaias continued shifting overnight, putting Vermont squarely in its path, and Green Mountain Power (GMP) is alerting customers to prepare. Forecasters say as the storm track moves to the west, the heavy rain threat is reduced for parts of southeastern Vermont, and the threat of strong winds has increased, bringing the stronger possibility of statewide impacts including outages due to downed trees and power lines, though the full impacts are difficult to predict with the continued changing track of the storm.
"We track multiple forecasts to prepare for weather events so we can respond safely and efficiently for our customers, and as we said yesterday, the forecast continued to change as the storm moves north, with an even more western shift overnight," said Mike Burke, Chief of Field operations for GMP. "We want customers across Vermont to be alert, and prepared for outages," he said.
Forecasters say tropical storm force winds of 50 MPH and higher are possible, with the storm reaching the southern part of Vermont first late this afternoon, and it is predicted to exit the state around midnight. Meteorologists say that tornadic thunderstorm activity has been seen with this storm as it moves across the mid-Atlantic states this morning.
Customers should be prepared for outages and stay away from any downed trees or lines. They can read GMP's storm preparation and safety tips online and you can sign up for text alerts. Crews are following extra health and safety precautions during the COVID-19 pandemic, and GMP is also encouraging customers to maintain a distance of at least 6 feet from crews, following CDC social distancing guidelines. Call GMP for assistance at (888) 835-4672 and call 911 for a medical emergency.
Customers can also report outages online and through the GMP app.
