Letter to Addison Clark Jr.
No full textUpdate on social lifeThorp Spring, Texas.Mar. 10, 1895.Dear Brother:Mr. C. Jones was here last week, from Sunday to Thursday. I gave a little reception in his honor on Tuesday evening. Did everything to make his visit pleasant –treated him too well for his “peace of heart.” But if I had been less kind and entertaining it would have hurt him. However seriousmay be the results –I willexert myself to entertain anyone who comes to see me. I treat my friends too well –they tell me-and perhaps they are right, but why should I not treat them as well as I can. It is a pleasure to me to do it. It is not that I want them to love me –not that. I never think of that when entertaining them. When with any one of my friends I know I canmake the time pass so pleasantly and quickly for him –and I take great pride and pleasurein doing it. I want them to enjoy being with me, and feel that they have gained something each time.I wish my friends would be satisfied with what I give them -my friendship.It is hard to be good friend whenthere is a feeling of more than friendshipon oneside. I’m worried and grieved -though I’ve nothing to censure myself for –about Mr. C.J. He does really and truly love me for what the thinks I am. And when such a man as he lovesit is genuine. He is so good, true, and noble any girl would be proud of his love –even of his friendship –and it seems any girl could return his love. But I don’t know whether or not I could –and even if I felt I could I would be afraid to commit myself lest I should be mistaken.And as I’m going away for a year –perhaps two, it would not be wise for me to give him or any one the least hope –would it?Brother, I’m fickle and-changeable –can’t help it -and when I go away next fall I must be perfectly free –no duty or obligation to any one in that time. –Don’tyou think so? It may be that I could love one of these friends better than any one –perhaps I do now –one doesn’t always know –how am I to know! They are all worthy of my love. As I wrote you I think more of Mr. F–than any of them–perhaps because the home folks don’t like him. And I’ve gone with him too much until he thinks too much of me. It is hard to always do just right –to know what is right. My first duty is to mama, isn’t it? If for any reason or no reason, she dislikes one of my friendsand doesn’t want me to go or talk with him then it is my duty to refrain from it –not drop the friend, but do as you say make no opportunity to talk to him.
Yes, it seemsto me now that along such a line my duty lies. I did not think so at first. And such would be my duty even if I dearly loved the friend, wouldn’t it? It is my duty to save mama from all the heart aches possible, and do nothing to grieve her –even though it be to sacrifice my own happiness. Am I right? But enough. Tell me what you thinkabout it all –especially the first part so I can think about it and have my mind fully made up as to what I should say to Mr. F.J. when he comes commencement -and Mr. C.J. will be here also.Had a letter from Blanche yesterday. She wants me to go to see her next summer. Wish I could. I told the home folks I was going to just before time for you to come home and have you come by there, but they said you had to come home first. She seems to be getting along well at Italy. The primary children gave me asilver nutcrackerfor a birthday present.The Y.W.C.A. Convention is in session here now, about fifteen delegates. Had an excellent meeting last evening. Continues until Monday evening, -we close with a banquet –or reception.One week from tomorrow evening our grand dramatic entertainment comes off. We are to play Hans Von Smash, KansasImmigrants, Spoopindikes Pig, alsohave club swinging, a recitation from Lena W –song by Patti Miller, and I will recite Zingarella.We are giving it for the benefit of our to be gymnasium. If you are here you and Mr. Easley can get up one occassionally [sic] next session.Carlie is “Sam” in Kansas Immigrants, and he acts his part well.Mr. Morrison and Flora have the Valedictory and Salutatory in class,-both Add-Rans.We have made out our society program–except recitations –we are “in the soup” there –have only one –Bess Howard –who recites well. They want meto and I don’t think I should and won’t do it. Pen is so miserable I can’t scribble more.Much loveYours-Sister
Audio Interview with Mr. C.J. Rayner Whiteley
No full textAudio - Mr. Whiteley recounts the story of delivering the message of the flood of 1904. He took seventeen hours by horse to travel from Perryvale to Edmonton. Billy Loutit took the same message by foot arriving in Edmonton about the same time. Mr. Whiteley discusses early settlers, farming, homesteading and businesses. He has many anecdotes about life and people living in Athabasca at the start of the twentieth century. He freighted for ten years with the Hudson's Bay Company and also discusses early farming prices and technology extensivelyInformative Interview of Mr. C.J.

An investigation of the oceanic skin temperature deviation
No full textSatellite and in-situ radiometric measurements of sea surface temperature (SST) together with conventional SST and meteorological parameters are used to provide a description of the ocean surface skin temperature deviation (skin temperature - bulk temperature, AT) for a transect made across the Atlantic ocean from 50°N 00°W to 23°S 35°W during September and October 1992. Methods of in-situ SST measurement are discussed and the errors associated with each technique are given. The principles of infra red radiometry are explained. The differences between the calibration strategies used to determine SST using infra-red radiometers from both in-situ and satellite platforms are reviewed and the errors associated with each technique are given. Differences between published in-situ infra red SST data indicate that there may be a bias in these data as a consequence of the calibration strategy adopted. The need for an inter calibration of in-situ infra red radiometer systems used for the validation of satellite SST is highlighted. Satellite SST algorithms are discussed and the principles of atmospheric correction are explained. The difference between the radiometric 'skin' temperature of the ocean and the conventional 'bulk' temperature at depth is defined. A review of current observations of AT is given. Several theoretical treatments of AT are reviewed. The definitions of the surface fluxes of heat and momentum are given. A description of the collection of data and an analysis of the calibration of the infra-red radiometer used to measure the skin temperature is presented.Data have been processed to obtain AT and the surface fluxes of heat and momentum have been evaluated according to the bulk aerodynamic formulae. The relationships between AT and the measurements made are presented for the entire data set and for day and night time observations separately. Four time series of observed data are presented and the local conditions during the time of measurement are used to discuss AT. AT has a mean value of 0.39°C ±0.3°C and is shown to be a persistent feature of the Atlantic ocean. Correlation analyses reveal the skin and bulk temperature fields to be correlated at length scales > 155 km. Night time correlations are consistently higher than the day time at all length scales. For this reason it is recommended that satellite validation data are only collected during the night. High sea states are shown to affect both in-situ and satellite observations of SST biasing these data warm. The regional nature of AT is presented which is related to the dominant atmosphere-ocean conditions for each region. AT is shown to be greatest at the higher latitudes and weak in the tropical regions.Several parameterisations of AT are used to obtain estimates of AT using the data collected. These are found to be inadequate to predict AT at small temporal scales. A regional dependence of AT is found in these parameterisations. The coefficient A, of the Saunders (1969) parameterisation has been evaluated and is shown to have a regional dependence on the local atmosphere ocean conditions. The coefficient Ci and Ci of the Hasse (1971) parameterisation have been evaluated using the data collected. These are Ci=4.74 and C2=1.22.A comparison between the Along Track Scanning Radiometer Average SST is presented. Satellite - in-situ bulk AT has been obtained and shown to be comparable to that observed in-situ. This comparison highlights the need to make skin SST validation measurements rather than bulk SST measurements. The ATSR ASST data are shown to return a SST accurate to better than 0.3°C

The Actors' Perceptions and Expectations of their Roles in BIM-based Collaboration
No full textThe inter-organisational collaboration with Building Information Modelling (BIM) is one of the hottest topics in construction sector nowadays. The implementation of BIM is a complex inter-organisational process, and the sharing of information among numerous actors from multi-disciplinary backgrounds may affect the actors’ role perception and performance. This study offers insights into the BIM roles of various actors by analysing a BIM-based project carried out by an integrated partnership across many tiers. The analysis identified inconsistencies between the actors' perceptions and their partners’ expectations of their BIM roles. Inconsistencies in BIM roles were more related to soft rather than hard (domain- or technical) skills. Mismatches were found in the architect's role, as it was deemed necessary to be more domain- and BIM-related, contrary to their perceptions. Likewise, the suppliers' role called for an enhanced BIM orientation. The paper concludes with set of suggestions for increasing the joint responsibility and supporting the multi-actor collaboration.Design & Construction ManagementSustainable Housing Transformatio
