The Bell XP-59-1A The first US Jet Powered Aircraft, 1942.

➤➤ JET ENGINE REVOLUTION (Documentary): https://youtu.be/KHeoTpXvYZA

Back then a short, fussy Englishman checked into downtown Boston’s Hotel Statler and made a peculiar set of demands.

After registering at the front desk (today’s Boston Park Plaza) as “Mr. Whitely,” he demanded a phone installed in his room not connected to the main switchboard. Meals must be served in his room and delivered by the same bellhop. And please, no surprise knocks on the door.

The mysterious little man was actually Frank Whittle, a 34-year-old Royal Air Force (RAF) officer, pilot, and inventor of the jet engine. Earlier in the year, he nearly suffered a nervous breakdown from exhaustion while racing to bring England, under attack from Germany, into the jet age...

Top 10 Pacific Islands Materials in Our Collection

While Pacific Island cultural experiences are far and few in Iowa, Special Collections & Archives is the proud host of a number of rare and highly regarded publications by prolific Pacific Islander creators or about the rich histories and cultures of the islands!

Te Kuia me te Pungawerewere (The Kuia and the Spider) by Patricia Grace.

(X-Collection Folio PZ5.G73 K85 1981, X-Collection FOLIO PZ5.G73 K853 1981)

Patricia Grace’s Māori children’s book, Te Kuia me te Pungawerewere, it’s English language version titled The Kuia and the Spider, is the tale of a Kuia, meaning elderly woman or grandmother in English, and a spider who share a kitchen and are in a constant playful argument of who is better than the other. Patricia Grace, a former school librarian herself, is a famed Māori writer of novels, short stories, and children’s books. The publication of this book in both English and te reo Māori, the Māori language in the 1980s was of great importance to language revitalization efforts following the presentation of the Māori Language Petition in 1972  and the officialization of Māori Language Week in 1975. Te Kuia me te Pungawerewere was awarded New Zealand Picture Book of the year in 1982 and remains a beloved story by Māori educators and families.

Tongan Ngatu.

(MsC 913)

Ngatu, or ngatu hingoa, in the Tongan language refers to the elaborately decorated tapa bark cloth tapestries of Tongan cultural significance. The art of ngatu is made distinct through processes of dying, stamping, and hand painting the tapestries, though still similar to the artful practices using tapa bark cloth in other Polynesian islands. The ngatu held in Special Collections was likely created in the 1940s, during or after World War II, and includes illustrations of planes to commemorate the contribution of the Tongan Defense Force to the British war effort. The tapa, or bark cloth itself, is likely made from mulberry tree bark, commonly used in the Pacific for this exact craft. Illustrations and stamping was likely done with dyes made from saps of other native Tongan plant species, such as candlenut trees.

Roma Potiki by Roma Potiki.

(X-Collection Folio PR9639.3.P59 R6 1996)

Roma Potiki is a noteworthy contemporary Māori poet, playwright and performer. Her self titled collection of poetry explores themes and topics of nature, the human spirit, Māori womanhood, politicization, and the lasting effects of colonization. The poems in this limited collection were also published in her 1998 collection, Shaking the Tree.

Death and the Tagua by Alistair Te Ariki Campbell.

(X-Collection Folio PR9639.3.C275 D4 1995)

Alistair Te Ariki Campbell is famed New Zealand poet and playwright of Cook Islands Māori descent. This collection of poems, Death and the Tagua, is the artistic account of and response to Campbell’s own journey from Rarotonga in the Cook Islands to New Zealand via a Tagua sailing vessel, and the deaths of both of his parents in his early life. More information about the Death and the Tagua can be found in our YouTube series, Nibbles of Knowledge.

Tapa: the bark paper of Samoa and Tonga by Lilian Bell & Ulista Brooks.

(Smith Miniatures Collection TS1095.S36 B45 1979)

Tapa is the bark paper or cloth of Polynesian islands including Samoa and Tonga, as specifically shown in this miniature book of paper samples. The bark of mulberry trees among other plants is processed into a fibrous paper, that is often then ornately decorated with dyes for cultural customary or celebratory purposes. In Tongan culture, these decorated tapa are called ngatu, and in Samoan culture, called siapo.

Whanau by Witi Ihimaera .

(X-Collection PZ5.I35 W43 1974)

Whanau, meaning family in te reo Māori, is a story of just one day in the lives of a large family living in a rural Māori village, struggling with the loss of traditional values and ways of living due to colonial pressures. It is the second work published by Witi Ihimaera, who is considered one of if not the most influential Māori writer still today. He was the first Māori writer to ever publish both a novel and book of short stories. The story takes place in the small town of Waituhi, were Ihimaera himself was raised and inspired to become a writer after seeing the erasure or mischaracterization of Māori in literature in New Zealand and globally. Our copy is signed by Ihimaera, with a note to the book’s donor, Carmon Slater, that reads “To remind you of a wonderful partnership and warm time at Tokomaru Bay when we worked on improving the self image of Māori Children.”

Ethnic Foods of Hawai’i by Ann Kondo Corum

(Szathmary Collection TX724.5 .H3 C68 1983)

Ann Kondo Corum, formerly a school librarian in Honolulu, wrote and illustrated Ethnic Foods in Hawai’i to provide a sense of history and culture through the foods and cooking traditions of the now multi-racial state of Hawai’i. She saw a need for this during her time as a librarian, when students had trouble finding information about the foods and culinary customs of their peers. This cookbook dives into the history and popular traditional recipes of the major cultural groups on Hawai’i, including traditional Hawaiian and Samoan recipes, celebrations, and culinary customs.

Māori Legends illustrated by Manu Smith.

(Smith Miniatures Collection GR375 .M36 1993)

This miniature book is the illustrated telling of major Māori legends or oral histories, including those of Maui, Pania, and Rona, the woman who went up to the moon. Illustrations are done by Manu Smith, who is also known for having illustrated Māori legends series for New Zealand stamps and phone cards in the 1980s and early 2000s.

Standing Place by Fred Hagstrom.

(X-Collection Oblong N7433.4.H25 S73 2012)

Fred Hagstrom is an artist and Professor Emeritus of Art and Art History at Carleton College in Minnesota. Standing Place is an artistic telling of a story about shared culture and the soldiers of the Māori Battalion during World War II. This covers the story of Ned and Katina Nathan, who are also the focus of Patricia Grace’s book, Ned and Katina. In his artist statement on the piece, Hagstrom writes: "I take students to New Zealand every two years, and in doing that have made good friends at a Maori Marae, which is a tribal meetinghouse. This is the story of their parents. … They also founded the Marae that I visit. This book is made in the friendship I feel for this remarkable family." The Marae in mention is the Matatina Marae at Waipoua. The kawai pattern on the book’s cover, titled Tatai Hono (the joining of lines of descent) was designed by Manos Nathan, son of Ned and Katina.

Francis Wherahiko Rawei, from the Redpath Chautauqua Bureau Records

(MsC0150 Box 238, Box 272)

Francis Rawei, also known by his former name Wherahiko Rawei or his stage name Dr. Rawei, was a Māori performer and educator of the early 20th century.  Alongside his wife Hine Taimoa, a lecturer, harpist and singer herself, he toured internationally lecturing, singing and story-telling about Māori history, life and culture. Together they toured the United States and Canada on the Chautauqua circuit and lived briefly in Chicago before eventually returning to New Zealand.

Also worth mention are the many travel diaries and publications collated by some of the first foreign seamen to arrive in the South Pacific. I have very intentionally not included any of these materials, as these diaries are predominantly accounts of travel to these islands with the goal of imperial conquest or religious purification of Indigenous Pacific Islanders, and unfortunately are not without deeply racist and offensive language. This undoubtedly makes these materials challenging to read and engage with, but the effects of colonialism and religious missionary efforts are very real and prominent parts of Pacific Islands history, as well as our present day. Their place in a rare book repository is just as important to the preservation of Pacific Islands history and culture as those included on this list.

Written by Guest Contributor on The Prepper Journal.

Editor’s Note: Another guest submission from Zac Martin. This is a subject that hasn’t been written about in awhile. I did add links to the previous The Prepper Journal posts on the subject at the end for your research. Be safe out there and note my closing message!

A friend of mine just evacuated his mother-in-law from Florida prior to Hurricane Irma’s arrival. I’d heard multiple reports on the news of severe gas shortages all throughout the state and so I asked him if he had had any trouble with filling up his tank.

His response? He had had to drive to three separate gas stations before he finally found one that hadn’t been run dry. What would he have done had they not had enough gas in their car to search all over town for gas stations that weren’t empty yet? He potentially could have been stranded in an area that was being evacuated, or worse.

We’ve had an active hurricane season this year, and there are further reports that we are going to continue to experience a gas shortage this season’s until hurricanes finish pummeling our coastlines.

So how do you avoid gas shortages when crap happens? When the pump runs dry what do you do? Your car will no longer get you anywhere, and if there’s a power shortage in your area (which there is a high probability of if people are evacuating), then eventually your gasoline-powered generator won’t work either.

No generator = no refrigerator, and this can have big repercussions if you have stored medication that needs to be kept cold or a decent amount of food that will otherwise go to waste. Just look at the current state of Puerto Rico. They’ve got absolutely no power and nobody has any idea of when it will be back on. How do you keep your father-in-law’s insulin refrigerated when you have no gasoline?

As you can see, the wisest course of action would be to have at least some fuel stored prior, but there are a lot of questions this raises.

How long does gasoline last? Doesn’t diesel degrade? Where should I store it?

We’re going to aim to answer these questions and more throughout this article.

Fuel Storage Basics

The general rule of thumb when it comes to storing fuel is that the more refined the fuel is, the shorter the shelf life is going to be. This means that kerosene, being the least refined, is going to last a much longer time than gasoline does. On average:

Kerosene will store 15+ years

Diesel will store somewhere around 8-10 years

And gasoline will store approximately 2 years

Storing fuel any longer than this can result in engine troubles if you decide to use it. With time, decomposition occurs which can result in gums and peroxides accumulating within the fuel. These can then clog fuel filters, lines and pumps and make it so your engine won’t run altogether.

Gasoline has further problems with becoming useless over time because the butane that’s added to it to help your engine start will evaporate.

So what can we do to protect our fuel?

Protect your fuel from the elements

The first and most important thing that you can do to protect your stored fuel is to make sure that you actually have it stored in a secure container. Fuel needs to be kept away from moisture as this will accumulate within the fuel causing problems when you do finally use it. The best place to store fuel would probably be in a sealed underground container, but those are expensive and a lot harder to come by.

Good ol’ fashioned fuel cans are going to be the most common form of storage for the average American. Do what you can to store these canisters in an area that is not exposed to extremes of temperature or moisture. By doing this you will help to preserve the integrity of your fuel long term.

Use a fuel stabilizer for gasoline

Fuel stabilizers work by preventing the decomposition of the different compounds within fuel, with the most common fuel stabilizer you’ll find being Sta-Bil.

Sta-Bil is a wonderful fuel stabilizer that will actually increase the longevity of your fuel, particularly gasoline. You can find it at essentially any home-improvement-y store out there and I’ve found it at Tractor Supply, Lowe’s, and Home Depot just to name a few.

Buy Gasoline for Storage During the Winter

Gasoline has butane added to it. Butane evaporates over time. This makes starting your car/generator/whatever even more difficult during colder months. Gasoline companies know that butane evaporates, and they also know that if your car doesn’t start during the cold you may assume that the last gas station you went to sold you junk gas.

   So, they add extra butane to gasoline during the winter time (the infamous “winter blend” always talked about when refineries slow production to switch) to help with cold-weather engine starting. Buying and storing winter-produced gasoline will mean that your gasoline will have extra butane added to it meaning that it will last longer than summer-time gasoline.

Use an Antibacterial for Long-term Diesel Storage

It’s fairly common to have at least some water find its way into your fuel, whether that be from condensation or a faulty gasket. With diesel, that water will have a higher density and sink to the bottom of the fuel tank. However, right where the water line meets the diesel line bacteria and fungi have the potential to grow and cause problems if given enough time and the right conditions.

These bacteria and fungi can give off acidic byproducts which in turn can result in sediment (affectionately referred to as ‘diesel sludge’) depositing at the bottom of the tank, plugged fuel filters, tank corrosion, and crappy fuel. Using a biocide such as Bellicide with long term diesel storage can help to eliminate this problem before it ever becomes an issue.  Sta-Bil also has similar diesel storage products however, and I’m personally more familiar with them.

Wrapping it Up

Nobody wants to be stranded in a potentially dangerous area without access to quality gasoline. Therefore, storing a reasonable amount and taking care of it is a very wise precaution. By following the above tips, you’ll be much better prepared to get your family and yourself out of dodge when the going gets tough.

What to Do With Old Gas

Editors Note: While we are big fans of Jerry Cans, and think they are the best for storing fuels at home, they are NOT suitable for storing potable water! They have an internal coating that is non-reactive with fuels that protects the can from corrosion and the fuel from reacting with the metal. However this coating will dissolve into water stored in the cans and it is very bad for you. From their official site under FAQ:

“CAN YOU USE THESE CANS FOR STORING WATER OR POTABLE WATER?

This can is not to be used with water. Water will mix with the liner and fuel will not. Wavian cans should never be filled with water. But you can use these plastic BPA Free jerry cans.”

Be careful because a lot of “survival” boards will have posts from someone claiming they raised their child from birth with water stored in a Jerry Can and the kid is now 12 and fine. They leave out that he has three eyes, no nose and a third arm!

Kidding aside, the Jerry Can is NOT for water.
