Mast Says He’s Ready To Win
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) _ Rick Mast struggled most of the season trying to get competitive. Then, after he finally did get his Pontiac Grand Prix in the running, new problems arose.
``It’s gratifying to finally run well, but the problem with that is, like Sunday at (North) Wilkesboro, the first half of the race I felt like we had a dominant car,″ Mast explained. ``I was sitting there trying to figure out how we could win, what to do the last couple of hundred laps to win the race.
``I kind of did some wrong things with the car, and we got it off a little the last 100 laps,″ he added. ``Instead of being real happy for finishing sixth, I’m a little disappointed because we didn’t have a shot at winning.″
For Mast, having a shot at winning is a feeling he hasn’t had too many times during his eight-year Winston Cup career. His best finish, second place, came at Rockingham in the fall of 1994, and there have been only seven top-five finishes in all.
But the 39-year-old Virginian is riding a hot streak heading into Sunday’s UAW-GM Quality 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
His last three races have produced finishes of sixth, fourth and sixth after only two top-10 finishes _ a ninth and a 10th _ in the first 24 events this season.
Adding to the excitement, his wife, Sharon, gave birth to twin daughters, the couple’s first children, Wednesday night.
``Everybody at home is fine and I feel great,″ Mast said. ``The team is on a roll. What we’ve done the last three races is what I’ve been saying and thinking we could do for a long time.
``The first half of the year we were hindered because we didn’t have the right aerodynamics,″ added Mast, who did a considerable amount of offseason testing on the new Pontiacs. ``Now we’ve got that working.
``And Brad Thrower in the motor room, he came out with a new motor design for Indy (in August), and I’m telling you, I’ve got the best motors I’ve ever had.″
It might be a case of too little, too late for Mast, who will be ending his relationship with car-owner Richard Jackson at the end of the season, moving on to drive Fords next season for Butch Mock.
``It would be nice to leave these guys with a win or two,″ Mast said. ``I’ve been at this for a while and I want to win races. Top-10s and all that are neat. Top-fives are fine and neat. But I want to win.″
Mast says the 1 1/2-mile Charlotte oval could be just the perfect place for that first win.
``I’ve had some good runs here in the past,″ he said. ``The finishes again aren’t indicative of that, but that seems to be my story the last two or three years. We run strong and then something happens and we finish bad.
``Now that we’ve had some decent finishes, maybe we’re turning that around. Why not at Charlotte?″
In the unique schedule for the fall race at the Charlotte track, the 43-car lineup is already set and Friday was a day off for the Winston Cup drivers. Practice for the 500-mile race will resume Saturday.

Here’s the single most useful recommendation on commercial electronic gaming in Virginia: Don’t.
Just don’t. Virginia does not need it and will not advance its quality of life by legalizing it.
For heaven’s sake, it’s a waste of time and a threat to your financial well-being. The “house” always wins, and you don’t. Period.
But, wait, you say. We are free people, living in Virginia (a land roughly dedicated to free people), why can’t we make our own choices?
Well, if that’s your point of view, rejoice. Because you may get your way, given current tendencies in Richmond.
In a legislative session up to its gunwales in long percolating, hot ideas, longing to be set free, the door has flung open to state-regulated slot machines — all thanks to a proposal that has only one thing to recommend it: honesty.
Sen. Jeremy McPike, D-Prince William, chairs a Senate subcommittee on gaming and says, in so many words, give me a break. How do you legally make distinctions in gambling devices when there are, in fact, no differences?
In other words, why not stop the nonsense, stop kidding ourselves and stop trying to stop what’s already arrived. Skill? Chance? Describe them as you like, the machines have slipped in. They’re flashing their little lights and going bong, bong, bong.
So why pretend that new machines, doing the same thing, but with different formats, lights and noises — ding, ding, ding, perhaps — represent anything especially new?
Thus, McPike’s proposal would make licensing available to truck stops, convenience stores and, according to news accounts, involve certification and inspection by the Virginia Lottery, an official state gaming operation already in business for more than three decades.
The state would also, via the Lottery agency, monitor sales and subject them to a 36% tax, with the revenues primarily dedicated to state support of — drum roll, please! — education.
The education bit is of course is how Virginia Beach Delegate J.W. “Billy” O’Brien sold Virginia on a state lottery originally. Mind you, Billy had that legislation before the General Assembly no less than six times previously and had become less than discriminating about what it would take to secure votes.
Education funding? Sure. You bet. Chesapeake Bay? Law enforcement? Sounds good to me. Billy was a resolute soul.
As it happened, the fear of really bad stuff entering Virginia on the heels of the lottery — organized crime, for instance — proved exaggerated.
What was not exaggerated was the phenomenon of seeing the poor, via the purchase of the state Lottery’s many-colored tickets, essentially tax themselves in support of middle-class priorities.
So here comes a heap more of this stuff and it’s receiving a further boost by concerted efforts to establish full-scale resort casino operations in Hampton Roads and Southwest Virginia.
Interests in Bristol, for instance, plead economic hardship: That failing some injection of commercial activity, such as a casino, it will only get worse in Virginia’s rural and removed regions, where large swaths of the population live below the federal poverty level.
Nevertheless, Virginia needs to get clarity on where this is all going and exercise some due diligence.
Sen. Monty Mason, D-Williamsburg, another trustworthy lawmaker, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch newspaper that, “it seems like we’re launching a spaceship here.”
Yes, the gaming final frontier, where Virginia has not gone before.
You just hope someone — Gov. Ralph Northam perhaps — would step in and point out that the acceleration and expansion of the gaming industry represents a stunning departure from Virginia’s past habits and inclinations.
Those tendencies were manifest in Virginia’s instinct for restraint and moderation — an instinct that has not lost its value.
Something needs to slow this down, at any rate, because the ability of the commonwealth to make logical and socially beneficial distinctions in the law — you can do this, but you can’t do that — is deteriorating fast.

Between Ukraine and Turkey, the associated with the defence industry is increasing. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy, speaking in the Ukrainian Parliament, said that many countries are working to improve his country's armed forces. “The US Congress has approved $250m in military aid to Ukraine. We have signed a 1 billion 250 million Pound agreement with the United Kingdom to strengthen the Ukrainian Navy. We're going to get the Island-class patrol ships. Together with Turkey, we will develop air defence systems by producing corvette, engines and military drones,” Zelenskiy said.
Zelenskiy visited Ankara last week with a delegation. “We are buying drones from Turkey. Ukraine, on the other hand, produces engines for drones. Therefore, it will not be very difficult for us to start a joint venture,” Ukrainian President Zelenskiy said.
Ukraine bought six Bayraktar TB2 Tactical Armed/ UAV System, and three ground control stations from Turkey last year.
Turkey pledges to provide US$26m to help Ukraine meet its military needs
Vadim Nozdriya, General Manager of Ukrspetseskport, one of the country's state-state-state firms, said they are interested in the joint production of Bayraktar TB2 UAVs in Ukraine and plan to buy 48 co-production platforms.
In September, Antonov CEO Oleksandr Los stated that the company is committed to cooperating with the Turkish aerospace industry for the production of AN-178 aircraft. Zelenskiy said, “As for the Antonov plane… We are absolutely satisfied with the attention shown to this initiative.”

If you’re a music lover, then you know that having a great sound system in your car is a must. A multi disc cd player for car is a great way to improve the sound quality in your vehicle.
There are a number of different multi disc cd players on the market, so it can be tough to figure out which one is right for you. Here are a few things to consider when choosing a multi disc cd player for your car:
One of the most important things to consider when purchasing a multi disc cd player is the price. Make sure to choose one that is affordable for you.
Make sure to choose a player that is the right size for your car. Some players are bulky and take up a lot of space, while others are smaller and more compact.
Make sure to choose a player that has the features you need. Some players have CD changers that can hold up to six discs, while others have ports for USB drives and SD cards.
4. Ease of Use
Make sure the player is easy to use. It should be simple to navigate through the menus and control the sound.
Once you’ve considered these factors, you should be able to find the perfect multi disc cd player for your car. Enjoy your tunes with improved sound quality!
Do they make multi CD players anymore?
Do they make multi CD players anymore?
It’s a question that’s been asked more and more in recent years, as the popularity of digital music files has grown. And the answer, unfortunately, is no – multi CD players are no longer being manufactured.
There are a few reasons for this. First, CD players have been largely replaced by digital music players, such as iPods and other MP3 players. And since those devices can store tens or even hundreds of songs, there’s less need for a multi CD player.
Second, CD players have become increasingly obsolete, as car manufacturers have shifted to using digital music players as standard equipment in their vehicles. That’s because digital music players are more reliable and can offer a better listening experience than CD players.
So if you’re looking for a multi CD player, your best bet is to search for used models online or at garage sales or flea markets. You may also be able to find them at discount stores, but they’re becoming increasingly rare.
What is a good portable CD player for car?
There are a few things to look for when choosing a good portable CD player for car. The first is sound quality. It’s important that the player produces clear, crisp sound so that you can enjoy your music while you’re driving. The player should also be easy to use, with buttons and controls that are easy to see and operate. It’s also important to find a player that is durable and can withstand the rigors of being used in a car. Some players come with built-in batteries, which can be a handy feature, while others require that you use batteries or an AC adapter. Price is another consideration, and there is a wide range of players available to choose from.
One of the best-rated portable CD players for cars is the Sony CDX-G3100UP. This player has excellent sound quality, and its buttons and controls are easy to see and use. It also has a durable design, and it comes with a built-in battery. The Sony CDX-G3100UP is also affordable, and it’s a good choice for those looking for a good portable CD player for their car.
Do Portable CD players work in cars?
Do Portable CD players work in cars?
The answer to this question is a little bit complicated. In general, most portable CD players will work in cars, but there are a few things that you need to take into consideration.
One thing to keep in mind is that not all portable CD players have FM transmitters. If your player doesn’t have an FM transmitter, you won’t be able to listen to your music through the car’s radio.
Another thing to consider is the type of car that you have. If you have a newer car that has a lot of digital features, your portable CD player may not work properly. In most cases, the player will work, but you may not be able to take advantage of all of the features that the car offers.
If you’re not sure whether or not your portable CD player will work in your car, it’s a good idea to consult the owner’s manual. This will give you a better idea of what to expect.
What is the best all in one CD player?
A Compact Disc player is a device that plays audio compact discs. It is also called a CD player.
The best all in one CD player is the one that can play all types of CDs, including CD-R and CD-RW discs. It should also have a digital FM tuner, so you can listen to your favorite radio stations. Furthermore, the best all in one CD player should have a built-in amplifier and a pair of loudspeakers, so you can enjoy your music without having to connect it to an external audio system.
Will CDs become obsolete?
The compact disc, or CD, has been a mainstay of the music industry for more than 25 years. But with the advent of digital downloads and streaming services, is the CD on its way out?
The CD was first introduced in 1982, and became a popular format for music lovers due to its high sound quality. In the early days of the CD, it was the only way to listen to music digitally. But with the rise of the internet and digital downloads, the CD’s popularity has begun to decline.
A study by Nielsen in 2014 found that, for the first time, digital downloads had surpassed CD sales. And a survey by Deloitte in 2015 found that, among millennials, only 37% said they still buy CDs.
So why are CDs becoming obsolete? There are several reasons.
First, digital downloads and streaming services offer a wider selection of music than CDs do. You can find almost any song you want on iTunes or Spotify.
Second, digital downloads and streaming services are much cheaper than CDs. You can buy a whole album of music on iTunes for just $9.99, or you can stream an unlimited number of songs for $9.99 a month.
Third, digital downloads and streaming services are much more portable than CDs. You can listen to your music anywhere you have an internet connection.
Fourth, CDs are becoming less and less popular, which makes it harder and harder to find them in stores.
So is the CD on its way out? The answer is probably yes. But that doesn’t mean that CDs are completely obsolete yet. There are still some people who prefer to buy and listen to CDs, and there are still a few stores that sell them. So the CD isn’t going to disappear overnight. But it’s likely that its popularity will continue to decline in the years to come.
Should I throw out all my CDs?
With the advent of digital music, the CD has gone the way of the cassette tape and the 8-track. So, the question is: should you throw out all your CDs?
The answer, of course, is “it depends.” If you have a lot of CDs and you don’t listen to them very often, then it might be time to get rid of them. But if you only have a few CDs and you listen to them all the time, then you should probably hang on to them.
The bottom line is that CDs are becoming increasingly obsolete, and there’s a good chance that they’ll soon be a thing of the past. So if you don’t want to be stuck with a bunch of obsolete technology, it might be time to get rid of your CDs.
Are portable CD players obsolete?
Are portable CD players obsolete? This is a question that has been asked many times in the past few years as portable devices such as mp3 players and smartphones have become more popular. So, are portable CD players obsolete?
The short answer is no. While portable mp3 players and smartphones have become more popular in recent years, there are still many people who prefer to use portable CD players. One reason for this is that portable CD players tend to have better sound quality than portable mp3 players and smartphones. In addition, portable CD players are cheaper than portable mp3 players and smartphones, and they don’t require batteries or charging.
Another reason why portable CD players are not obsolete is that they still have some advantages over portable mp3 players and smartphones. For example, portable CD players can be used to play CD-ROMs, which contain data or applications that can be used on a computer. Portable mp3 players and smartphones can’t do this.
So, are portable CD players obsolete? No, they are not. While portable mp3 players and smartphones have become more popular in recent years, there are still many people who prefer to use portable CD players.

It can be moved around without causing any disturbance to your partner. It should be soft enough that you can sleep comfortably in the middle, yet firm enough to provide adequate support for most people. The coils and latex on the Eco Terra give it extra bounce. The cover is also wrapped around the coils, which will absorb any movement. We are intrigued by Eco Terra’s claim to zero motion transmission.
Eco Terra Hybrid Latex Mattress Review
A recent test of the Eco Terra hybrid latex mattress reveals that it performs well in most areas. It has a very high overall satisfaction rating and beats out its competitors in temperature neutrality. This is a crucial feature for those who sleep cooler or warmer. This is probably a result of the latex used in the Eco Terra, Talalay, which is much more neutral in temperature than Dunlop latex. The mattress’s design permits good airflow which helps to stop clamminess and overheating.
The Eco Terra hybrid latex mattress is made from 100 percent natural Talalay latex. Talalay latex is certified Oeko-Tex Standard 100, which means it is not contaminated with chemical preservatives. The latex layer gives excellent comfort, resulting in more responsiveness. The pocketed coils inside the mattress’s core also add bounce and help to prevent back pain. The mattress’s cover is breathable and thick and also helps keep out heat and moisture.

In contrast to other hybrid mattresses made of latex, the Eco Terra comes with a 15-year warranty and a 90-night trial of sleep.
The Eco Terra mattress’s polyurethane content is a major source of complaints. However, the company has addressed these complaints. This is particularly relevant for customers who have not purchased the mattress through a verified online retailer. The law label of the product does not list any substances that could contain polyurethane. If you’re worried about the polyurethane content in the mattress, you can ask for a mattress that isn’t.
Eco Terra Mattress Topper

If the topper fails to stand the test of time, the company will repair or replace it, based on the model you prefer. Shipping costs will be your responsibility, but the company will pay the cost of returning the topper.
The mattress itself is firm, but it’s not too hard for heavier sleepers. Its medium level is ideal for those who sleep on their sides because the latex layer provides them with plenty of bounce. the coils that support the top of the mattress let you sink into the bed without feeling uncomfortable.

Based on your preferences, you may need a firmer mattress that can support your back when sleeping. There are two different levels of firmness that are available for the Eco Terra mattress: medium and firm. While both offer advantages, they also have disadvantages. Eco Terra’s latex layer may not be the best option for sleepers who are light.
Eco Terra Mattress Topper Review
We’ll be reviewing the Eco Terra Mattress Topper to discover the many benefits. Natural latex is not contaminated by toxic chemicals and does not emit off-gassing. However, it emits an aroma that is light. It’s typically a pleasant vanilla smell that goes away after a few days. It’s also simple to take care of. It is available through online retailers or directly through the company’s website.
The Eco Terra mattress is a latex-based mattress and also has coils. They’re wrapped in latex, making them buoyant, yet they’re also heavier than the middle coils. While the combination of latex and coils helps to block motion transfer, it’s not as solid as traditional innerspring mattresses. This mattress is not suitable for sleepers who are light and could be too heavy for those who are heavier.
The Eco Terra mattress topper has another benefit: it provides a high level of comfort. The Eco Terra mattress topper is available in two sizes: medium and firm. Side sleepers will prefer the firmer option. It’s not as firm as a medium mattress, but it’s firm enough for a person to be at ease. It’s suitable for stomach sleepers but not as firm as a more firm model. The Eco Terra medium-firm model is roughly the same as the standard medium model.

But would the new mom let her 4-month-old daughter Henley join the show when she’s ready to find her perfect match?
“Quite honestly, I don’t know if I would,” Otis — who met Hehner for the first time on their wedding day — says in a clip shared exclusively with PEOPLE.
“Then I have to remember that that’s how I found love and if I had never opened my mind and my heart, I wouldn’t be standing here with my beautiful daughter.”
Either way, the reality star isn’t thinking quite that far ahead yet. “Let’s just pump the brakes!” says Otis, 31.
On Tuesday afternoon, Otis opened up on Instagram about her unconventional love story with Hehner, 34, acknowledging her road to “finding happily ever after is very different than most.”
“When I slipped this wedding dress on nearly 4 years ago to be married at first sight never in my wildest dreams could I truly believe it’d lead me here today, with my precious daughter happily laying on it gazing back at me,” she captioned a sweet photo of herself with Henley on her bridal gown.
“It’s definitely incredible that we can watch the very first time we met, our very first kiss, first dance, first EVERYTHING.”

As I have gushed earlier, our drop dead gorgeous new lingerie collection is now out. Lush, dark colors are adorned with bold lace in an ode to old days, where icons like Greta Garbo and Katherine Hepburn spun a dreamy charm upon our collective conscience.
The colors chosen for this collection are Indigo, Sepia and Vine. Why these particular colours, you ask? Let me tell you, I have always kept the Indian woman’s unique skin tone top of mind at Buttercups. When I set about designing the new range, I wanted to have colors that would be both bold and yet compliment the Indian woman’s ethos. Enter Vine, Indigo & Sepia.
Vine – A glass of Merlot, a dash of plum lipstick, her wedding lehenga, ruby red nails, the sparkle of velvety red earrings. Deep dark red is an integral part of our lives. What’s better than lingerie that reflects our love for the quintessential reds than this rich and mysterious Vine? Not much, honestly.
Indigo – A dark night sky, rich dark hydrangeas, the happy blue of the blue bird. All inspire the romance of a colour rarely used for lingerie. This bold, deep shade as a beautiful alternative to the much worn coal or black which gives you a feel of sophisticated confidence, inside and out.
Sepia – A forgotten era, a hint of the past, a subtle reminder of long lost memories. The sepia inspiration comes from some old pictures of my grandmother, where bold lace in elegant colours was a trend. It helps that sepia is a lovely “invisible” shade, that can be worn under both dark and light shades, including whites. A truly elegant shade that gives you a chic and royal feel.
All the colours of this Vintage collection are meant to make you feel bold, sophisticated and beautiful. Shop now to feel gorgeous this festive season!

The Witch's YarnDec 15, 2004 · peterb · 9 minute read
I’m a huge fan of text adventures – the name “interactive fiction”, it seems to me, is way too general, since it could cover any number of similar-but- different media – but they are possibly the most unapproachable genre in the world of computer games. There’s a lot of really interesting work being done with the medium, but it’s pretty much impossible to get anyone who does not already accept the strictures of the form to try them more than once. You can always get someone to try them once. Inevitably, within less than a minute, the new player will try to examine some item that is just part of the “scenery,” or guess the wrong word, and they decide that this is stupid and they don’t need to further subject themselves to the medium.
In one sense, that’s their loss. In metaphorical sense, though, the author of the work just lost a reader because it wasn’t obvious how to turn the pages of the book. Anyone who has ever watched a new player play a text adventure knows exactly what I’m talking about.
>> Grab plate I don't know how to grab. >> Lift plate I don't know how to lift. >> get plate I see no plate here. >> get platter I see no platter here >> get dish Which dish do you mean, the green plate, the blue plate, or the red plate? >> red I don't know how to red.
Presumably, some authors choose the text adventure medium specifically because they like its constraints, and want those pages to be hard to turn. For those authors, the above scenario really isn’t their problem. Others, however, may simply be trying to tell a story, and don’t care about the idiosyncrasies of (say) the Inform parser. For these people, a different system might be appropriate.
The Witch’s Yarn is, essentially, a “choose your own adventure” book, in the form of a computerized stage play. It is available for both Windows and Mac. Rather than controlling “a character,” the game is presented as a series of scenes, with you as the ‘director’; you queue up characters, items, and events, and then watch the drama unfold. Characters appear and disappear from the stage, speak in text baloons, and otherwise expound on the plot (which I won’t spoil here, but centers around a witch who is trying to interact with the “mortal world” by openin a yarn store.) The wordsmithing is better than you see in most adventure games – I’m including text IF here – but let’s be frank, this is a videogame, not a Henry James novel. The main characters are believable; the supporting cast is very caricature.
There have been other tools that let people develop “choose your own adventure” style games, but the system used for The Witch’s Yarn seems particularly polished, at least from the user’s point of view. Helpful prompts explain how to let the story progress (without dictating a choice). The game is always implicitly saved, so just quitting at any time will always allow you to pick up where you left otf. If you make a mistake and steer the story to an endpoint, the engine allows you to undo the previous choice, or roll back to the beginning of a chapter. The graphics are simple; it looks like cues can trigger simple animations. It’s unclear to me how much scripting the engine allows. At least in The Witch’s Yarn the effect is that of being shown a play performed by Colorforms stickers.
I’m being a little unfair when I describe the game as simply a choose-your- own-adventure book. It’s a little more complicated than that. Rather, the cues you introduce have an effect on the game state; the same cues introduced in a different order can yield different results. So in the second chapter, for example, the main character’s emotional state is bouncing around based on what cues are introduced. Some cues (for example, an aggravating visitor) make her angry. Some make her depressed. Some make her happier. Send in too many “angry” cues in a row, and the story comes to an end. So at least in this chapter, I started thinking of the protagonist not as an actor, but as my little pet finite state automata, and I found myself trying to draw a mental state diagram of all possible transitions.
This cueing system, actually, feels to me very much like what Emily Short did in her artwork Galatea. The player conversed with a character in the game, based on topics the player introduced, the game would take a different course. In that work – which was text based – you basically had to guess-the- trigger. In The Witch’s Yarn, the cues are all presented to you on a silver platter. Other than that, the underlying concept is the same.
The engine that underlies The Witch’s Yarn is called CineProse. The press release from the publisher, Mousechief, has an interesting paragraph that cuts to the heart of the issue:
We believe that current adventure games do not address the constraints of the casual game market. In our user testing, the majority of a sample population was unable to perform basic control over the main character. That´s why we re-invented the genre specifically for this market. Thus, the CineProse style of adventure game was born. Subsequent testing of computer novices showed that 100% of ages 8 to 78 were able to pick up and play The Witch´s Yarn.
There are things one can quibble with, here. It’s arrogant to talk about “re- inventing” the genre when multiple other publishers have “re-invented” the same product, using the same mechanism, albeit not as slickly. And the people who are producing adventure games for the people who already play adventure games are not going to stop what they’re doing and start licensing CineProse: the increased usability it provides is at the cost of eliminating whole classes of user interaction that experienced players of the genre have come to know and desire. But let’s zoom up to the 50,000 foot level and acknowledge: they’re right. The casual game player finds the interface of the typical adventure game bewildering.
The question, then, is how close to the bone can you strip an interface and still be left with something that is fairly characterized as an “adventure game.” That’s a bigger question, and not one i have an answer for.
The full version of The Witch’s Yarn is $20; I didn’t buy it. My calculus went something like this: “Hey, this is a really neat story, and I’d kind of like to know how it turns out. It seems like an interesting play. But it’s not that much better than some of the IFComp games that came out this year. Those are free. Also, $20 would get me a ticket to a community theater performance of some other play that I haven’t seen. I don’t think I want to pay $20 to see how this turns out; maybe if there was more game here I would, because then there would be more of an intellectual challenge. I think this one is a no-go for me.”
So it’s a conundrum. I estimate I would have spent about $10 to see how the story ended. Any more than that, and you start asking yourself questions like “Why don’t I buy a book, instead, which will be longer, probably better written, and can be read away from my computer?” Despite the fact that I wasn’t willing to shell out the lucre, I think that Mousechief has correctly identified a need and has built what seems like a polished product to serve it. The real question to me is: what will happen with CineProse? There’s a few ways it could go. It could remain as Mousechief’s internal engine for their adventure games, it could be licensed to other publishers for use in their games as well, or it could be given away for free to all comers.
I’ve spoken briefly with the developer, Keith Nemitz, and he does indicate that he intends to license the engine, and that there would be no fee for noncommercial projects. This could be a very viable business model. I’ve talked mostly about text adventures as being the alternative here, but graphic adventures have their place as well, and as Ron Gilbert has described in detail, the economics of producing them are gruelling. If the CineProse bundle of Python scripts, SDL libraries, and application software is basically marketed as “produce your adventure game at a third of the cost of what your competitors are doing,” then Keith may do very well indeed.
Giving away the tools for free to noncommercial projects seems like a smart decision to me, particularly if Mousechief can figure out how to monetize it. Off the top of my head, I’d imagine “give the dev tools away for free, but require that the ‘player’ be purchased by the users to view the entire works” might be workable. I’m really not going to pay $20 to read one potentially bad short story. I might pay $40 to be able to read many, if I know for a fact there are some good ones in the mix.
I feel bad saying that The Witch’s Yarn isn’t my cup of tea, because it’s an attempt to look an entire genre in the eye and say “What you’re doing doesn’t work for most users. We’re going to try something completely different.” I respect that. So despite the fact that I didn’t buy it, I still think you should visit their web site and download the Windows or Mac versions, and try it for yourself. And let me know what you think.

``House of Games`` (Lindsay Crouse, Joe Mategna, Mike Nussbaum; David Mamet, dir. HBO Home Video, 1987; color. Running time: 102 minutes. Rating: R. $89.99)
This immensely clever and thoughtful suspense story in the film noir style marked David Mamet`s low-key but impressive debut as a film director.
Mamet`s script, about an overachieving woman psychoanalyst caught up in an increasingly elaborate series of deceits pulled off by a tightly knit group of con men, is set in the netherworld of American society, where lying and cheating are handled by expert professionals as ``a business,`` part of ``the American way.``
The screenplay did not even receive a nomination from the Academy Award voters; but it is nonetheless a small wonder of storytelling, gradually leading the viewer into ever more complex situations that climax with a surprising, finely ironic payoff.
The hushed, bare-bones quality of Mamet`s dialogue is matched by the menacing glide of his camera, which smoothly moves into and takes in each scene.
Produced on a small scale in Seattle, the film transfers well to the television screen. The action has been carefully framed by Mamet to provide a lot of information in each shot, and there`s very little missing in the video version. Better yet, the movie bears up under repeated showings, because its multi-layered construction offers new insights with each additional viewing.

Philip started his audio career in live sound and music recording after finishing his education at Lappfjärds folkhögskola in 2009. After working with numerous artists as sound engineer he pursued his studies in film sound at Stockholm Academy of the Arts. He then shifted focus primarily on interactive media with his work on Battlefield Hardline. For some years he was working as a sound designer at EA DICE in Stockholm with Star Wars Battlefront and Battlefield titles. Two years ago he transitioned to Hazelight to take care of the audio production as the Lead Sound Designer on their latest game It Takes Two.
This session tells the story behind the sound design of Hazelight’s intriguing and entertaining title, It Takes Two - and in particular, the challenges of audio for split screen gameplay. Anne-Sophie and Philip will discuss the iterations they experienced whilst experimenting and applying solutions in order to achieve a compelling high quality audio experience. They will explain how they learned to manage spatialized sounds in relation to each player’s screen space, maintain mix clarity across different gameplay types, and create a strong sense of immersion within the context of a split screen game - as well as outlining how continuous collaboration between the creative designers and technical designers was vital to successfully pushing the limits of the genre and setting new standards.
In keeping with Develop Conference tradition, our panel of game audio experts limber up for an inclusive town hall style discussion with conference delegates about the current state-of-the-art of music, sound and dialogue for games and what the future holds for game audio business, technology and creativity.

Huntington’s historical legacy was on display at the Sheep to Shawl festival on Sunday. Militiamen, dancers, a maker of wooden whistles, weavers and others showed their crafting skills at the Kissam House on Park Avenue.
The biggest draw at the event, sponsored by the Huntington Historical Society, appeared to be the demonstration of how to shear a sheep, as parents accompanied by their children as well as others gazed on as a sheep was wrangled into position so that a shearer could remove its heavy coat of fleece.
Others enjoyed sorting through antiques, watched as dancers from the Ohman School of Ballet performed, checked out the llamas and other animals. Across the street, members of the Order of the Ancient and Honorable Huntington Militia put on a display of musketry, firing numerous times to demonstrate the skills and care needed to properly use the Colonial ear weaponry. Members of the organization encamped at the Arsenal in a demonstration of what life was like for 18th Century residents.


What do you know about the second world war? Have you seen movies about D-days, have you seen or heard about the vehicles the veterans used during the war? Or are you a veteran? Here are some of the top 7 most used military vehicles in WW2.
Before we jump right into the list let us remember that some of these vehicles are now considered antique and some are classic collectibles, Detailed Vehicle History provides support for classic vehicles, providing both classic vehicle history reports and classic build sheets.
FORD F 15
This vehicle was designed between 1940-1945. The Ford F15 was a Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) truck.
CMP trucks were mutually coherent ranges of trucks made in large numbers and several classes by Canada and the US.
The Ford F15 originated from General Motors of Canada Limited, Ford, and Chrysler Canada. There were over 500,000 that were built alongside 3298 service flags for employees of the Canadian Armed Forces.
Did you know? For the greater success of the nation, at the beginning of the second world war rival automakers would come together to design and build tough vehicles to support the nation’s military campaigns, a good example is the Ford F-15 which was manufactured by Chevrolet and Ford at Oshawa.
The Ram Tank
This was a cruiser tank that was designed and manufactured in Canada. The chassis of the Ram tank was based on the US M3 medium tank chassis.
Due to standardizations and other requirements this tank was mainly utilized for training purposes and did not see actual combat.
The Ram tank was manufactured by the Montreal Locomotive Works, there were 2032 Ram Tanks made after the design was completed in 1941, and the production spanned from November 1941-July 1943.
Did you know? During the early stages of the Ram Tank production, Canada relied heavily on the US and Britain. The prototype was completed in June 1941 while the general production began in November of the same year.
C15TA Armored Truck
The C15TA armored truck served as an armored load carrier utilized by Canada during the second world war and was inspired by the Otter Light Reconnaissance Car.
This armored carrier was manufactured by General Motors Canada and was built on the chassis of the Chevrolet C15. This armored car was built between 1943 and 1945 and a total of 3961 units were built in Oshawa, Ontario. While the armored hulls were supplied by the Hamilton Bridge Company.
By Hunter (Sgt), No 2 Army Film & Photographic Unit – This is photograph NA 24043 from the collections of the Imperial War Museums (collection no. 4700-39), Public Domain
This vehicle is also an armored personnel carrier, which was designed in 1944 by Guy Simonds, and will later go on to have over 4 variants which include, Ram Kangaroo, Priest Kangaroo, Churchhill Kangaroo, and the flame tank also known as the Kangaroo Badger.
The variant priest found its major application during “Operation Totalize” on August 8 1944 south of Caen and was handy to supplement the half-tracks already available.
On record, the first operation carried out by the Kangaroo was Operation Astonia, an assault on Le Havre 10-12 September 1944, and the last operation was when the British 7th armored division marched into and captured Hamburg on 3 May 1945.
The Lynx was used in service between 1940-1974 by the British Commonwealth and associated foreign units in the Second World War and even after the war.
This car was designed by Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited (BSA) a group of businesses manufacturing military and sporting firearms.
It was manufactured by Daimler (Dingo) and Ford Canada (Lynx) the two variants were built between 1939-1945(Dingo) and 1942-1945 (Lynx)
Did you know? The Dingo was considered one of the finest armored fighting vehicles built in Britain during the war!
The Otter Light Reconnaissance Car
The Otter Light Reconnaissance Car
This car is also known as the British car, or the Light Reconnaissance Canadian GM (RAC), it was an armored car produced in Canada during the second world war for the British and the Commonwealth.
Inspired by the Chevrolet C 15 Canadian Military Pattern Truck chassis, this armored vehicle has a crew capacity of three, and the commander is seated in the vehicle front, while the gunner occupied the turret position at the rear.
This fighting vehicle is armed Bren light machine gun in a small open-topped turret. This beast will go on to hunt tankers with its Boys’ anti-tank rifle.
The production of this vehicle began around 1942 and 1945, and over 1761 units were produced in Oshawa, Ontario.
The Fox Armored Car
This vehicle was also made in Canada, by General Motors as inspired by the British Humber Armored Car MK III and then adapted to the Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) truck.
The vehicle has a four-man crew, consisting of the commander, the driver, the gunner, and a wireless operator. Over 1,506 vehicles were manufactured.
By AlfvanBeem – Own work, CC0
This car was predominantly used in Italy, UK, and India. With a top speed of 71km/h(44 mph) the car was also used during the Second World War and the Portuguese Colonial War.
Are these your top most used military vehicles of the Second World War? Most of these vehicles are still outstanding and a beauty to behold. They are still tough, resilient, and yet graceful.
Are you a Veteran? Did you use any of these vehicles?

Sotheby’s Hong Kong Fine Chinese Paintings Spring Sale realised a total of HK$517,923,300 / US$66,004,145 – with almost 90% of the offerings sold. After an 18-minute bidding battle and over 50 bids placed, Zhang Daqian’s Landscape after Wang Ximeng – a mesmerizing blue-green landscape outlined in gold painting – sold to an Asian private collector for HK$370,495,000 / US$47,215,883. The exceptional result not only sets an auction world record for the artist, but also establishes the work as the most valuable Chinese painting ever sold by Sotheby’s, and the second highest price for any artwork sold at Sotheby’s Asia.
Fresh to the market, this blue and green landscape was painted in 1948 at the pinnacle of the artist’s career and the same year as his landmark exhibition of landscape paintings in Shanghai. It was then added to Shanghai socialite Sun Zhifei’s collection and has since been passed down through the family. Beside being on temporary exhibition at the Shanghai Museum and the National Art Museum of China in 1983, the masterpiece has not been shown to the public for forty years.
Carmen Ip, Head of Fine Chinese Paintings Department, Sotheby’s Asia, commented: “Today’s sale marks another exceptional year of market leadership for Zhang Daqian. It was undoubtedly a special moment to bring the artist’s Landscape after Wang Ximeng to auction this season, made all the more exciting after setting a new world record for the artist today. Not only did we see seasoned collectors back in our saleroom this Spring, but welcomed new buyers too – proof of the ever-increasing desire for the category season on season.”


Police appeal for witnesses to alleged Haggerston sexual assault
Police are appealing for witnesses following an alleged sexual assault last month in Haggerston.
The victim was walking with her dog on Wednesday June around 6pm on Shrubland Road, near to the junction with Grand Union Crescent.
The suspect approached her and made repeated indecent requests and sexually assaulted her before she managed to escape.
Police are appealing for anyone who was in the area or may have any information which would help with their enquiries.
The suspect is described as a black man with a slim build in his mid-20s.
He was wearing baggy clothes, a baseball cap with a flat peak and earphones.
Anyone with information is asked to contact DC Kevin Ives on 0207 275 3644 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

This fall, the Hunger-Games-style Korean drama Squid Game captivated viewers across the globe. The setup is simple: desperate debt-ridden contestants compete in a series of children’s games where the prize is an ungodly amount of cash – and the penalty for failure is death.
Less than a month after its launch, the show became a global smash hit, racking up 111 million views and becoming Netflix’s most-watched show ever, according to internal metrics.
While the company expected the high-concept series to be a hit in Korea, “there’s no way to have anticipated it would be this big [globally],” says Netflix global TV head Bela Bajaria.
Incidental sales surges
Its success has sparked an explosion of both sales in items incidentally related to the show, and in the number of branded campaigns tapping into its popularity.
A flurry of fans hoping to dress like the contestants from the show made Walmart almost run out of tracksuits and sent sales of Vans white sneakers up 7,800 percent. Auction, a Korean site comparable to eBay, saw an 860 percent increase in marble sales (marbles are a key item in one of the challenges of the game.) And the now-famous dalgona honeycomb cookies have surged in popularity as well.
Squid Game branded campaigns
Savvy brands have decided to jump on the bandwagon and capitalize off the Squid Game sensation with partnerships geared towards the show’s audience.
Debt assistance app Relief passed out business cards like those used in the show – but rather than offering recipients the chance to play a life-or-death competition for a cash prize, the cards said: “There’s a better way to get out of debt,” and provided the company phone number.
Jung Ho-Yeon, an actress from the show, was recently recruited for a campaign with Louis Vuitton after her Instagram account jumped from a 410k following to 22 million followers. Other branded campaigns played off the honey-biscuit challenge, or simply incorporated the symbols in their own advertising or social media posts.
Sales have shot through the roof at restaurants that have incorporated Squid Game experiences into their offerings – such as selling dalgona and awarding customers prizes for successful completion of the challenge from the show. One Squid Game-themed experience in the United Arab Emirates became so popular that the café had to discontinue it because of their inability to keep up with the wild demand.
Does Squid Game have lasting marketing power?
Will the Squid Game craze wane in the months to come? Maybe. But one thing’s for certain: when it comes to marketing, Squid Game has the Midas touch. And for a show infused with capitalist critiques, that’s an irony too delicious to ignore.

I could feel my waist shrinking as Maggie pulled on my corset rambling on about how beautiful she was going to make me look. As she gave the final tug I felt as if my ribs would crack in to if I dared try to breathe. I shut my eyes forcing myself to take small gasps as I forced my body to mold to the corset. "Maggie just loosen it a little, I am afraid I will faint from suffocation" whispered to my ditzy maid. She grumbled, but gave in and loosened the corset to where I could breathe normally before fetching my dress.
"I always that you looked beautiful in white princess," Maggie smiled at me as she brought out my gown for the ball.
I nodded in approval as she helped me slip into the pearl gown. I carefully looked it over knowing I would …show more content…
I usually always wore it down since it was such a difficult task to fix any other way, but tonight it would have to be tamed to sit upon my head, and not tumble over.
Maggie stabbed me with a pin when a knock echoed on the door.
"Who is it?" I asked trying not to yell at Maggie.
"Earl Ma'am, the ball is about to start, and your father wanted me to fetch you."
"I'll be out in one moment", I said trying not to wince as Maggie stabbed me with another one as we felt our time limit running up.
"Do not move princess" Maggie warned as she began to frantically move around the room trying to find the rest of my hair supplies and to finish her masterpiece quickly.
Once she put the last few pearls in my hair, I grabbed my shoes and began to walk out the door, as I opened it Earl smiled, "You look beautiful Chloe, just like your mother."
"You think so?" I asked.
"Yes, very much so" Earl's grin widened.
"Thank you," I smiled back as he led me down the hall to the staircase.
"Earl you think everyone will approve of me?" I asked him nervously.
"Ma'am you are going to be the most breath taking woman there" he answered.
I took a deep breath as Earl began to announce me to the eager crowd below.
"Presenting the royal princess Chloe Marie Thomas."

Lydia awoke in an unfamiliar place. She touched her head but immediately pulled it away when she felt the soft texture of bandages on her forehead. She shivered as a small draft passed over her skin. She looked down and noticed... She was wearing barely anything. She panicked, scrambling to wrap the blanket around her body.
“Don’t worry. You’ll love it.” While her voice was light and cheerful there was finality to her words. “Did you get a chance to try the dress on again? It’s so beautiful.”

SummaryStudents are introduced to the primary types of erosion—chemical, water, wind, glacier and temperature. Students investigate examples of each erosion type and discuss how erosion changes the surface of the Earth. Students also learn why engineers need to be aware of the different types of erosion in order to protect structures and landmarks from the damaging effects erosion can cause.
Civil engineers must carefully study the surrounding environment and soil composition to safely design and build any sort of structure on a piece of property. Buildings, roads and bridges require solid foundations and preferably land that is not prone to erosion (such as flood plains). Engineers also employ materials that resist erosion, such as water-proof materials or materials impervious to acid rain. Environmental engineers design surrounding landscaping to include trees and other vegetation in order to help prevent wind and water erosion since roots make soil more stable and less exposed to weathering forces. Engineers also design roads and sidewalks so that they may expand and contract with temperature changes without endangering the integrity of the structure, such as sidewalk "control joints" to control cracking.
After this lesson, students should be able to:
- List several different types of erosion.
- Describe several land formations that have been created by erosion.
- Explain how engineers learn about erosion to design or protect structures.

Rainfall helps to shape the land and affects the types of living things found in a region. Water, ice, wind, living organisms, and gravity break rocks, soils, and sediments into smaller particles and move them around.
Do you agree with this alignment?
Have you ever wondered why the surface of the Earth looks the way it does today? Does it look the same as it did 100 years ago? The Earth's landscape is continually being shaped and modified by the forces of nature. Wind, ice, water and temperature have all had a hand in making the Earth look the way it does today. These processes are called erosion, which is the wearing away of the Earth by natural processes. Several different types of erosion exist: chemical, water, wind, glacier and temperature. (List them on the board.) We are going to learn more about them today.
Chemical erosion is a reaction that usually involves acid rain. Acid rain is rain that has been polluted by chemicals in the air. These chemicals change the pH of the rainwater and can be harmful to streams, lakes, forests and the animals living in them. Acid rain can also be harmful to buildings and decorative statues by breaking down the materials from which the structures are made. If you have ever visited Mammoth Cave in Kentucky or Carlsbad Cavern in New Mexico, then you have seen the effects of chemical erosion. Both of these caves were carved out of solid land by chemical reactions! Engineers are working on acid rain and chemical erosion by creating cleaner burning fuels and machines (such as cars) that release less pollution into the air. Students can conduct their own engineering investigation of chemical erosion with The Effects of Acid Rain activity.
Water erosion is perhaps the most familiar type of erosion. Have you ever watched the moving water in a river or stream pull bits of the bank along with it? When water from rivers, streams or rain storms breaks away at bits (or larger chunks) of land while moving over it, that is considered water erosion. Water can wash away valuable nutrients from farmland, but is also responsible for shaping the Grand Canyon in Arizona and Rainbow Bridge in Utah. Engineers attempt to reduce water erosion by directing the flow of water with dams and levees. They also design technologies to measure scouring, which is the water erosion of a stream bed around the supports for a bridge, which has caused many bridges to collapse in the past.
Wind erosion happens when wind blows away the top layer of soil or sand. Some of the tiny particles of sand that are carried away by the wind act like sandpaper, wearing down larger objects as they pass. Wind erosion can create and move entire sand dunes, shape rocks and other structures, and cause dust storms. The Dust Bowl of the 1930s is a good example of the damage wind erosion can cause. Engineers develop technologies that help to reduce the effects of wind erosion for farmers.
Glacier erosion is not as common as other types of erosion. A glacier is created by fallen snow that has been pressed into large areas of hard ice on land. These glaciers are slowly pulled downhill by gravity, and wear away at the Earth's surface as they move. Have you ever ridden on the Matterhorn at Disneyland? The original Matterhorn is a mountain in Europe that was formed by glacier (ice) erosion. Glacier erosion has caused many large rock formations on Earth, such as Yosemite Falls in California and the Grand Tetons in Wyoming.
Have you ever noticed that sidewalks are not continuous sheets of concrete? They have grooves or cuts in them that we often call "cracks" in the sidewalk. Why are they there? These grooves are called "control joints" and they are intentionally designed to help prevent the sidewalk from cracking too much by giving it room to grow and shrink as the weather fluctuates between hot and cold. This is called temperature erosion. Temperature erosion can cause metals or concrete to break, such as roads and bridges.
Engineers must learn about and understand erosion in order to safely design and build structures for people to use and visit. Engineers also learn about erosion to help protect existing land formations and monuments that document our world's history. Civil engineers use their knowledge of erosion to design buildings, roads and bridges in areas that might not have a lot of natural erosion or by using sturdy materials that resist erosion. Environmental engineers plant trees and other vegetation in order to help prevent wind and water erosion from damaging land. Plant and tree roots limit erosion by helping to hold the soil in place. Engineers also design highways, overpasses and sidewalks in a way that allows the materials to expand and contract with temperature changes so that they will not crack too much, and thus remain strong and safe for their users. Refer to the Glaciers, Water and Wind, Oh My! activity to have students further investigate different types of erosion.
Lesson Background and Concepts for Teachers
Erosion is the wearing away of the surface of the Earth by natural processes (weathering, dissolution, abrasion, corrosion, etc.). Chemical, water, wind, glacier and temperature are continually changing the landscape of the Earth.
Chemical erosion involves a chemical reaction (one or more substances changes into others). Most chemical erosion is the result of acid rain. Acid rain occurs when rain mixes with elements and gasses in the air, specifically pollutants like sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides. These pollutants come from vehicles, factories and power-generation plants that burn fossil fuels. See Figure 2 for an illustration of the acid rain cycle. This causes the water to have an acidic pH of approximately 5. Note: On the pH scale, 7 is neutral, that is, "pure" water, with any number towards 1 being more acidic, and any number higher than 7 being more basic. Wind carries this contaminated water hundreds of miles away from its original pollution site, which then harms streams, lakes, forests and any water life that resides there (such as frogs and fish, among others). In addition to impacting nature and other creatures, acid rain also destroys human-made structures, such as historical buildings and monuments. Other examples of chemical erosion include Mammoth Cave in Kentucky and Carlsbad Cavern in New Mexico, both carved out by chemical erosion (see Figure 3).
Environmental engineers attempt to neutralize acid rain by planting trees because they can have a buffering effect on acid rain. Forests reduce the acidity through the leaching process on leaves and the ion exchange in the soil. Engineers are also working on decreasing pollution by designing cleaner burning fuels and vehicles that release less pollution into the air. Engineers also try to protect structures from chemical erosion by choosing building materials that are resistant to acid rain
Water erosion is perhaps the most familiar type of erosion. Water erosion can take many different forms. Sheet erosion is when a fairly uniform layer of topsoil is removed by raindrop splash and run-off during storms. This can cause soil to lose nutrients, which affects the land's ability to produce crops. Rill erosion is caused by runoff water gathering in flow lines (usually on recently cultivated land). It leaves small channels along the soil and often deposits this soil in streams or reservoirs, which can damage the surrounding ecosystem. If rill erosion is not addressed, water continues to deepen these channels into gullies (gully erosion). Gully erosion results in the loss of significant amounts of land. Tunnel erosion occurs when water removes soil below the Earth's surface. This causes cavities to form underground, which weakens the surface. If these tunnels collapse, they become deep gullies. Tunnel erosion is dangerous because these cavities could collapse at anytime and cannot be detected from above. Stream-bank erosion is caused by moving streams or river water wearing away the surrounding banks. This can drastically change the course of a river and ultimately the surrounding landscape. Shore erosion deposits sediment into the body of water and changes coastline (storms, such as hurricanes, can accelerate this process). Water erosion has also shaped canyons (such as the Grand Canyon in Arizona) and rock formations (such as the Rainbow Bridge in Utah).
Engineers try to minimize erosion by directing the flow of water using dams and levees. Planting grass and trees to form strong root systems or laying out netting can also decrease water erosion. Scouring is the erosion of streambed material that supports bridges and has been the cause of disasters and near-disasters throughout the nation. Engineers have developed several systems to measure scouring, including remote sensors and active sonar that monitors stream scouring as it happens. Figure 4 illustrates different types of water erosion.
Wind erosion creates and moves entire sand dunes, shapes rocks and other structures, and causes dust storms. Sand dunes are always being reshaped and shifting due to the wind. Dunes start out as mere ripples in the sand and gradually increase in size. Sand is moved up to the top of the dune until the pile becomes so steep that it collapses and slumps down the other side (the slip face; see Figure 5). Sand dunes are particularly vulnerable to wind erosion because they are completely composed of loose sand without anything anchoring them in place.
Wind erosion also shapes rocks and deteriorates structures, such as the ancient pyramids in Egypt. The wind picks up grainy particles—such as sand—and acts like airborne sandpaper that wears away (sands down) surrounding surfaces. The Devil's Tower rock formation in Wyoming (see Figure 6) was created by wind erosion. It used to be a volcano, but now all that remains is the solidified, lava core. The wind was powerful enough to wear away an entire volcano!
One of the biggest problems associated with wind erosion is dust storms. The wind picks up dust, leaving crops exposed and blocking out the sun with a big black cloud. Farmers protect their crops (particularly potatoes) by planting larger crops (like rye) surrounding them or covering them with straw and foliage. Figure 7 shows unprotected and protected crops.
A glacier is created by fallen snow that has accumulated and been compressed into massive ice formations on land. Glaciers make up about 10% of the world's total land area. These masses are slowly pulled downhill by gravity, eroding the surface of the Earth as they move. Glacier erosion occurs by abrasion, crushing and fracturing material in the path of a glacier. This moving glacier picks up rock and sand along the way causing their surfaces to become extremely rough, which wears away even more material. Glacier erosion shaped Yosemite Falls in California, created the u-shaped valleys in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado (see Figure 8), and formed the Grand Tetons in Wyoming. The Matterhorn, a mountain in the European Alps, was also shaped by glacier erosion. It is unique in that it has four faces (slopes) that face the four compass directions.
Temperature erosion causes materials to crack and break apart. When material such as concrete or steel heats up (from the sun, for example), it expands; when it gets cold it shrinks in size. This fluctuation in size due to temperature can cause the material to crack. Colorado is an excellent example of a climate where temperature can be a challenge for materials, since one day it can be 70° and the next day it can snow, and be only 40°.)
Engineers account for these conditions by putting grooves in sidewalks (called control joints, see Figure 9) and expansion joints in bridges. This minimizes the damage caused by thermal erosion, which is important since broken concrete on the roads and walkways can be dangerous.
Can you remember the different types of erosion? (Listen to student responses.) That's right: chemical, wind, water, glacier (ice) and temperature erosion. Wow, that's a lot of ways that nature can change the surface of the Earth. In fact, some of the coolest natural land formations were created by a type of erosion. Can you name some of them? (Listen to student responses.) For example, the Grand Canyon was formed by water erosion, sand dunes are formed by wind erosion, and the Matterhorn, a mountain in the European Alps, was caused by glacier erosion. Erosion is a natural process, but humans have an effect on the amount of erosion that occurs in some areas as well. Can you think of how? Well, by the emissions from our factories and vehicles we pollute the air, which can cause acid rain and chemical erosion. Also, we construct buildings and dams that may alter the natural path of water and wind erosion. Those are just a few ways that humans affect erosion. Engineers must learn about how erosion works in order to help prevent too much of any one type of erosion from occurring. Engineers design and build the schools, skyscrapers and structures where people live and work. They are also involved in protecting existing land formations and monuments that people visit and tht we wish to keep standing and in unaltered shape.

Lesson Summary Assessment
Can You Picture It? Show students pictures of different items that have been affected by erosion and see if they can guess which type of erosion caused it. For example, the Grand Canyon, Carlsbad Caverns, Ayers Rock, the Grand Tetons, Devils' Tower, an eroded statue, pavement cracks, etc.
Idea Web: Ask students to develop a list of the different types of erosion. What effects does erosion have on us and our environment? What are possible solutions for reducing these effects? What can engineers do to help?
Engineering Poster: Using what they learned in the lesson on erosion types, have student teams create posters of their unique designs for protective structures for statues or natural landforms that could withstand one of the erosion types (water, wind, temperature, glacier or chemical). Have them title their posters with a hypothetical engineering firm name (for example, Erosion Engineering & Associates).
Lesson Extension Activities
Find some images of your community and region from 100 years ago to modern day. Have students compare and contrast the images. What has changed? How much of this change is due to natural erosion? How much is due to human intervention (buildings and highways, etc.)? If the area had been left alone except for natural processes such as water, wind and temperature, what parts of the landscape would have changed over 100 years due to erosion?
Have students investigate the human effect on erosion. For example, What are examples of human contributions to acid rain or waterways rerouting that have affected the surrounding landscapes? Have students develop plans to help reduce the human effect on the natural erosion that occurs over time. Have them describe activities that they could participate in that would help with land conservation and preservation of monuments or landscapes.
