17th April 1892 saw the death in Toronto of Scottish-born Canadian political leader Alexander Mackenzie.

Alexander Mackenzie was born near Dunkeld. His parents were poor, and young Mackenzie left school to apprentice himself to a stone mason. At the age of 20 Mackenzie emigrated to Canada, where he soon found work in his trade at Kingston, Upper Canada. Prospering, Mackenzie moved to Sarnia, further west, as builder and contractor. He was also a concerned citizen, and in 1852 he became the editor of the Lambton Shield, a tiny newspaper that nonetheless served to give him access to the world of politics. In 1861 he ran successfully for the Assembly as a Reformer, and in 1867 he was elected to the first Parliament of Canada, where he became the leader of the opposition to the government of Glasgow born John Alexander Macdonald. For a time in 1871/1872 he was treasurer of Ontario, but in 1872 he determined to devote his time to federal politics.

The Macdonald government was pressing ahead with plans for a transcontinental railroad but had unfortunately become too close in its relations with financiers and contractors. The resulting "Pacific scandal" drove the government from office in disgrace, and Mackenzie became prime minister in November 1873.

The Mackenzie administration had some able men in it, but the Liberals had bad luck in taking power at the onset of a long business depression. Mackenzie's only remedy was to trim expenses to the bone and to halt the construction of the railway. The depression continued unabated.

There were some real successes, however. As a convinced democrat, Mackenzie extended the right to vote and introduced the secret ballot. A Supreme Court was established, the Royal Military College of Canada was founded, and the nation was pushed toward independence after Mackenzie and his attorney general, Edward Blake, trimmed the powers of the governor general to interfere in affairs of state.

For all these accomplishments, however, the nation was unhappy, and when the Conservatives began to advocate a protective tariff to encourage the development of Canadian industry, they found ready audiences. Mackenzie, as a free-trade Liberal, regarded the tariff as an abomination, but not enough of the electorate agreed with him and the Liberals were defeated in 1878.

For 2 years more, Mackenzie, who is often described as a dour Scot led the Liberals. He remained in Parliament until his death on this day 1892.

organizing my thoughts

7 days of making

aviation, mechanics, building, designing, exploring, and adventure. If I were to encompass what I want this project to share, it would be in these simple terms. I begin this journey by reading some published works on varying yet interesting topics.

Firstly, I googled the most pondering questions in my brain. Things that seem to bother me constantly or that I am endlessly curious about. Somehow it always comes back to the ideology that I, along with so many others, are trying to find "their" purpose. Something that drives them, a passion, a reason, and a love.

Here is what I have found thus far...

The ideas of conceiving, designing, implementing, and operating was one of the first articles I dove in. I was searching for something to define how one can know if they want to be an aeronautical engineer? an engineer? a pilot? or even a builder of sorts?

After reading about this article, I better understood what skills, along with level, engineering students are being asked in the real world. Furthermore, by reading analytical studies of aeronautical history, I was better able to understanding the perspectives that engineers throughout history have held.

"What Engineers Know and How They Know It" is a book by Walter G. Vincenti that explores engineering practices in the context of US aeronautics from 1908 to 1953. It delves into two main conclusions from this period: Firstly, engineering generates its own knowledge, extending beyond applied science. Secondly, it investigates "how engineers know" through case studies, shedding light on the nature of engineering as a distinct discipline from scientific methods. Vincenti, a notable figure in aeronautical engineering and the history of technology, presents a unique perspective. He also discusses the influence of human behavior on engineering requirements and the role of engineering science. The book highlights the iterative nature of engineering discovery and categorizes engineering knowledge into six key areas. Vincenti's work contributes to understanding the epistemology of engineering and offers valuable insights into the history and practice of this field.

I also searched into aviation/aeroanutical engineering studies abroad.

Another article, "Apprenticeship as a model of vocational 'formation' and 'reformation': the use of Foundation Degrees in the aircraft engineering industry'" by David Guille discusses the concept of apprenticeship as a model for vocational learning, emphasizing that apprenticeship isn't limited to a specific age or phase of one's career. It explores this idea through a case study involving the development of a Foundation Degree (FD) program in aircraft engineering. This program aimed to support both "new entrants" and "career switchers" in their vocational development. The article uses the concept of recontextualization to demonstrate how the company (KLM) and the college (Kingston) designed the curriculum to achieve these goals and how learners benefited from these curricula to enhance their vocational skills. In conclusion, the article provides insights into the implications of this analysis for conceptual understanding and policy related to vocational education and training.

Reflecting on this text, it highlights the adaptability of the apprenticeship model in vocational education. Traditionally, apprenticeships were associated with young people starting their careers, but this article shows how apprenticeship can be applied to individuals at various stages of their professional lives. The case study involving the FD program in aircraft engineering illustrates how institutions can design educational pathways to cater to the evolving needs of learners, whether they are newcomers or those looking to switch careers. It underscores the importance of flexible learning approaches in vocational education, which can accommodate a diverse range of learners and their goals.

Thirdly, the Digital Twin for Integration of Design Manufacturing Maintenance: An Overview, provides an overview of the concept of a "Digital Twin" and its application in the integration of design, manufacturing, and maintenance in the context of mechanical equipment and systems. The traditional approach to these three aspects of engineering has been separate, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs. However, in today's rapidly digitized world, there is a need for a unified platform that can streamline these processes. The Digital Twin concept is introduced as a potential solution, offering real-time feedback and combining virtual and physical worlds to make informed decisions in design, manufacturing, and maintenance.

The article emphasizes that the integration of these processes is crucial for reducing development cycles and costs in the engineering industry. It also highlights the challenges in achieving this integration, including determining design solutions, constructing digital scenes, and fusing the physical and virtual worlds effectively.

One key point is that the Digital Twin concept involves the creation of virtual models that simulate the behavior of physical objects. This simulation allows for predictive analysis, evaluation, and optimization, ultimately improving the efficiency and effectiveness of product development and maintenance.

Overall, this article sheds light on the potential of Digital Twins in revolutionizing the way engineering components and equipment are designed, manufactured, and maintained. It highlights the need for compatibility between digital and physical models and underscores the importance of cyber-physical systems in this context. Digital Twins offer a promising pathway to more efficient, cost-effective, and intelligent engineering processes.

Built another world made up of multiple layers and spaces. This is out of my comfort zone as I have limited animation skills and have been exploring all the realistic creations you can make using softwares like Cinema 4d. 

Working on my rendering skills and ability to create realistic pieces digitally. 

Super out of my comfort zone. Never even digitally designed a three dimensional piece, let alone something relating to what I am interested to design in the future. The folds and the complexity of the once flat plane was difficult to bend and split while still maintaining a single body form. 

Creating scenes using different materials, lights, and reflectance. Using different tools that I have never touched before was a major priority and a major risk that had an awesome reward. 

Created a scene using a completely different 3D software tool. I was not sure where to even start but took the risk of tinkering with the software and learning as I go to create depth and dimensionality to a space.

Never used procreate before, a completely different tool, platform but was able to create designs for my automotive club. They were lacking in the design department and even though I have never used design softwares, I took on the challenge and came up with three logos and several different text layouts. 

2. Used CAD softwares to create more technical structures. These more mechanical pieces are something I definitely would like to incorporate in my work as it is a basis for engineering design.

Created an infinite outdoor space with tons of objects. Normally, I like creating a clean, simple, serene environment that brings peace but for once, I thought I needed to bring some chaos into the picture while still being up in the clouds. Tons of motion and animation were added to each and every one of the assets.

“Is Your Diet A Thief?” Kingston Whig-Standard. February 15, 1933. Page 10, --- Is Deficiency The Robber Stealing Your Strength Vigor and Resistance? --- A diet deficient in certain elements that the human body needs is a thief no less than a hold-up man is a thief For example a diet deficient in Vitamin A robs the body of vigor lowers resistance and makes you more susceptible to catching cold and to other germ diseases.

Chronic fatigue, lack of appetite, unsatisfactory bowel movements, are often symptoms of a deficiency in Vitamin B1.

Underweight in children is frequently caused by a deficiency in B1.

Nutritional anaemia, so common today, is due to a deficiency in iron. 

These are only a few examples of the results of deficiencies in diet. But more important to you is the fact that a new product called VIP has been developed after long patient and expensive research to bring to you an increased supply of vital elements in which the ordinary diet is frequently deficient. 

Science Turns To "Life Cells” To Overcome Dietary Robberies To secure the needed elements scientists went to one of the richest known source of Vitamins, Proteins, and Minerals— the life cells of wheat. A life cell, while only a tiny one-hundredth part of a grain of wheat, is its most vital part. It is the embryo from which life springs and which causes the wheat plant to grow. This life cell however has one defect that has restricted its use. When separated from the grain of wheat, it deteriorates, becoming rancid and disagreeable to the taste. This is the reason why it is discarded when milling white flour.

In order to use these life cells of wheat,  a special process has been devised that overcomes this defect without destroying or impairing the nutritional value or vitamin content. The manufacturers of VIP are the sole owners of this special patented process. 

With these specially processed life cells of wheat are combined cocoa and malt, and an easily-assimilable form of iron, to produce a delightful nut-like food drink packed with vital nutritive elements. 

VIP Increases Your Vitamin Supplies Because of these life cells of wheat, VIP brings to you an increased supply of Vitamin A so necessary to maintain the health of eyes, air passages, lungs, the bladder, and the skin and to maintain bodily vigor and resistance to disease. VIP also brings you a much increased supply of Vitamin B1 which has been proved to have a stimulating effect upon the appetite to invigorate the intestinal tract and to aid digestion. 

A third valuable Vitamin in the life cells is Vitamin B which has a beneficial effect on the nerves and digestive organs, while a fourth Vitamin, the life-producing reproductive Vitamin E, without which human life would cease, is richly concentrated in the life cells of wheat.

Children Gain Weight Research has conclusively proven that Vitamin B1 so richly stored in the wheat life cells, is vitally necessary for children. An adequate supply increase! their rate of growth and weight. 

Supplies Energy Builders and your Daily Needs of Iron In addition to Vitamins VIP brings to you an increased supply of energy-pro-during proteins and minerals stored in the life cells. These have bean amplified with an additional supply of iron for the purpose of enriching the blood and preventing nutritional  anaemia. Two teaspoonfuls and preventing nutrition teaspoonfuls of VIP supply 12 milligrams of iron needed by the blood daily.

Add VIP to Your Dally Diet If you are rundown, nervous, lack of strength and vigor if you have intestinal and digestive disorders as a result of deficiencies in your diet, you cannot start too soon to add VIP to your diet. Even if you are in good health today a deficiency of Vitamins and Iron if continued is bound to store up future trouble for you "Deficiency the Robber” is no less a menace than a "hold up” man.

Delicious Hot or Cold— A Distinctive-Nut-Like Flavor You'll like your first cup of VIP and your children will drink it eagerly VIP is easy to make Just stir two rounded teaspoonfuls into a glass of hot or cold milk until adding sugar if desired.

While it is a delirious drink HOT or COLD at any time the greatest benefit to you will come from die steady daily use to offset the work of "Deficiency the Robber.”

 Obtainable from Druggists VIP (Vitamins + Iron + Proteins) is obtainable from druggists and department stores in two sizes...

bmw-r100-kingston-custom

BOBBY HAAS LEFT a giant hole in the custom scene when he passed away unexpectedly last year. As the owner and curator of the Haas Moto Museum, he was a bonafide patron of the art of motorcycle customization. And in that role, he formed deep personal relationships with the custom builders that helped to fill his museum’s halls.

With three of his builds already in the Haas Museum, Dirk Oehlerking of Kingston Custom had become a close friend of Bobby’s. So this impossibly elegant BMW R100 is particularly dear to him. Not only is it the longest custom boxer we’ve ever seen, but it was the last Kingston build that Bobby commissioned.

Understanding the Basics of Drone Photogrammetry and 3D Mapping

In recent years, drone generation has converted numerous industries by offering revolutionary solutions for statistics collection and evaluation. Amongst these improvements, drone photogrammetry and 3-D mapping stand out as revolutionary equipment for creating distinctive and correct fashions of landscapes, homes, and different structures. Whether for surveying, urban planning, or environmental monitoring, understanding the basics of these strategies is important for specialists seeking to leverage their ability.

What's Drone Photogrammetry?

Drone photogrammetry is the procedure of taking high-decision pictures using drones and converting them into precise second maps or 3-D models. By flying over an area, drones take overlapping photographs that specialized software later processes. This method calculates the geometry of items and terrain primarily based on the pictures' angles and distances.

For instance, drone mapping Kingston has gained traction in urban development projects, for which particular measurements are vital. This technique isn't always the most efficient, but it reduces the time and hard work required compared to standard surveying strategies.

How Does 3-D Mapping Paintings?

3-D mapping entails creating 3-dimensional representations of a bodily location or object. The manner begins with drones taking pictures multiple pictures from specific views. Photogrammetry software then stitches these photographs together and uses algorithms to generate a digital 3D model. Those models are notably accurate and can provide satisfactory information, including floor textures and elevation information. In Drone Mapping Melbourne, specialists regularly use this generation for creation planning, environmental conservation, and even archaeological web page upkeep. 3-D maps provide a complete view of the place, allowing for better choice-making and planning.

Programs Of Drone Photogrammetry And 3-D Mapping

Drone photogrammetry and 3-D mapping are flexible tools with applications across several fields: •    Production and urban planning: Architects and builders use 3-D maps to visualize websites, reveal development, and ensure compliance with designs. That is, in particular, relevant in regions like drone mapping Kingston, where urban planning demands accuracy and performance. •    Agriculture: Farmers can determine crop health, measure discipline sizes, and plan irrigation systems with the assistance of drone mapping. •    Environmental Tracking: Drones assist track modifications in ecosystems, mapping forest areas, and revealing coastal erosion, as seen in initiatives much like drone mapping Melbourne tasks. •    Mining and Exploration: Correct terrain models are crucial for aid extraction and safety planning in mining operations. •    Disaster Reaction: In emergencies, 3D maps can help rescue groups by presenting a clear view of affected regions. Benefits Of Drone Mapping Technologies The benefits of the usage of drone photogrammetry and 3D mapping include: •    Time efficiency: Drones can map big areas quickly, decreasing assignment timelines. •    Value financial savings: automatic information series minimizes the need for sizable manual exertions. •    Accuracy: High-resolution imagery guarantees precise measurements and dependable effects. •    Versatility: Drones can be admitted to hard-to-reach areas, making them best for complicated initiatives.

Conclusion

Drone photogrammetry and 3-D mapping have revolutionized how we gather and examine spatial information. Their ability to produce correct, precise models has made them imperative gear in industries ranging from production to environmental conservation. whether you are working on a drone mapping Kingston initiative or exploring opportunities in Drone Mapping Melbourne, information on these technologies' basics will open the door to modern programs and advanced mission outcomes. As drones continue to conform, their function in shaping the destiny of records mapping will simplest develop.

Christine at a glance

"Mirrored souls with twice the love"

NAME: Christine Miriam Kingston

AGE: 43 [Born March 2nd]

OCCUPATION: Engineer

ARRIVED: Mid June 2024

GENDER/PRONOUNS: Cis Female, She/Her

SEXUALITY: Pan

QUIRKS: An odd mix of girly girl and tom boy, Christine is big into fashion, makeup, etc., but also loves getting her hands dirty. Though her focus is on structural engineering, she has a fascination for figuring out how the world works at large. The more analytic twin, she can come off a bit cold and has a dry sense of humor. Allergic to most melons and kiwi, but eats them anyway - so what if it makes her mouth and throat tingly? Will speak German to Carrie when they want to say something with more privacy. An absolute cynic when it comes to romance. Is the younger twin and refuses to acknowledge it.

BIOGRAPHY

Life had always come easy to Christine. She was born with her best friend, her platonic soul mate, which meant she was never alone. On top of that, the girls never wanted for anything. While their older sister Hope had to carry all the weight of their parent's expectations, Christine and Carrie had the freedom to do whatever they wanted. The girls looked for fun and antics in whatever way they could, including switching places with one another on the reg. It was easy, no one could tell them apart. Not their friends, the people they dated, not even their parents. The only person that knew exactly which twin was which, much to both the joy and frustration of the girls, was Hope. There was always tension between the eldest and the twins, but also an undercurrent of love; an unspoken bond that sisters share.

Christine and Carrie were never meant to be in a small town, and even with their pranks they were desperately bored of Huntsville. Immediately after high school they asked Mommy and Daddy to help them get student visas, and off to Europe they went. At first Christine wasn't sure what exactly she wanted to study. Sure, she always loved math and science, but the options were limitless. It was only when Carrie proudly announced she was going to be an architect that the pieces fell into place for Christine. Afterall, who else would be the perfect counterpart to her twin? The dreamer and the builder.

They studied diligently in Vienna and spent their off time living it up throughout the continent, experiencing everything they could get their hands on. As they grew older their careers flourished, the girls turned into accomplished women.

Though she would never give up her living mirror for anything, both twins could admit that it was also lonely, hurtful, that only one other person could see them for their individual selves. This especially reared its ugly head when the twins were in their mid 30s. Christine thought she was happily married, going on four years of contentment with her wife. They had even started talking about raising a family. And yet, the asswhipe didn't feel like it was enough. She had to know what it was like to have the other twin. In her folly, she thought she was hitting on Carrie, trying to seduce her at a party she was hosting. But it was actually Christine. Needless to say, the divorce was ugly, and Christine leaned heavily on her other half following the emotional devastation it wrought. Since then Christine has focused almost exclusively on her work, flaunting herself as an independent woman that needs no one but her twin.

As the two got offered a commission back in America, they realized they hadn't heard from Hope in a while. Even with the strained relationship they always held, the three made an effort to keep each other updated as best they could. Concerned, Christine and Carrie decided to visit the town they swore they'd never come back to.
