Making an Orienteering Map in Seven Basic StepsGord Hunter
Orienteering is a simple sport. The participant uses a map and compass to get to a series of checkpoints called controls. How he/she gets from one point to the next is entirely up to the participant. Deciding the best route depends a lot on having accurate information on the orienteering map. Are the trails accurately mapped? Are the woods accurately described? Will there be any steep cliffs, deep waterways or other obstacles in the way? All that has to be shown on the map.
For many the making of the orienteering map is as much fun as the orienteering itself.
Here is a quick look at how the mapping is done using a combination of modern computer technology and good old fashioned leg work.
Drawing an orienteering map is often portrayed as a complex task best left to the experts. In some cases that is true but that should not stop anyone from taking advantage of relatively new tools available on line to make realistic orienteering maps with all the right symbols of their neighborhood park, school ground or other interesting area. This show is designed to point Americans to the resources they have readily available FOR FREE.
Making orienteering maps is a passion of mine. Creating base maps using on-line tools has changed an expensive time consuming jobs in to a 'breeze'. However doing the field work to bring the map to what the orienteer sees on the ground remains a time consuming task. GPS enabled computer tablets work for some. I find a great time and technology saver is the easier to use GPS watch. Here's how.

Estimation of Cooling Load Calculations for a Commercial Complexijtsrd
In this project we discussed the cooling load calculations for a commercial building by using revit software Window air conditioners, split air conditioners are used in small buildings and offices etc but in big buildings and commercial complex we use central air conditioning systems this systems are installed far away from the buildings. The cooled air is supplied to the building with the help of ducts. When ducts are not properly designed, then it will lead to problem such as frictional loss, higher installation cost, increased noise and power consumption. For minimizing this problem, a proper design of duct is needed. Equal friction method is used to design the duct it gives the comparison of pressure drop in rectangular duct and circular duct. Central air conditioning is more reliable for easy operation with a lower maintenance cost. Cooling load items such as, people heat gain, lighting heat gain, infiltration and ventilation heat gain can easily by using REVIT SOFTWARE. The programme can also be used to calculate cooling load due to walls and roofs. And results were compared with the standard data given by ASHRAE and CARRIER. The RULE OF THUMB method is used to calculate the heat developed in the rooms. These methods are used for lower power consumption capital cost and improve aesthetics of building I. S. N. V. R.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

41. What is Contour ?
Contour is line drawn on a map connecting points of equal
height .
Contour lines (also isolines) connect a series of points of
equal elevation and are used to illustrate topography, or
relief
on a map.
They show the height of ground above Mean Sea Level
(M.S.L.) in either feet or meters and can be drawn at any
desired interval.

What is Isotherm ?
An isotherm ( meaning 'heat') is a line that connects
points on a map that have the same temperature.
Therefore, all points through which an isotherm
passes have the same temperatures at the time
indicated.
45.
What is Isobar ?
A line of constant pressure. Isobars are found ONLY
on surface charts.
They most commonly connect lines of equal pressure
in the units of millibars.
High pressure isobars generally occurs with isobars
above 1010 mb while low pressure isobars occur with
lower than 1010 millibars.
46.
What are the Uses of Isotherm ?
Isotherms are used to find regions with
* Warm air advection
* Cold air advection
* Short waves
* Fronts
* Temperature gradient boundaries and
* Instability zones.
They are most commonly used at pressure
surfaces below 500 millibars and on surface charts.
54. What is NetCDF File ?
NetCDF (network Common Data Form)
is a set of software libraries and machine-
independent data formats that support the creation,
access, and sharing of array-oriented scientific data.
55. Purpose of NetCDF (.nc)File
The main purpose of netCDF is to protect
the user from having to know the details of how
the data is stored in the netCDF file.
Cdat have clt.nc file which is reason to
create isolines on map.
58. $ sudo apt-get install netcdf-bin
To convert .nc binary into editable text
$ ncdump clt.nc > clt.cdl
To generate clt.nc from edited clt.cdl file
$ ncgen -b clt.cdl
59. What is My Project ?
My Project going to create the isotherm
lines, which will be plot on India Cdat Map.
We have 4 processes to do this . . .
.

By Meteorologist Jeff Haby
Q1. What is meteorologically significant about isobars or
isohypses being closely spaced?
Answer: A forecaster can determine the amount of thermal
advection (temperature advection). Closely spaced contours
indicate stronger wind.

By Meteorologist Jeff Haby
Q2. Negative thickness advection is lower values of
thickness moving toward a fixed point. How can this be
determined by examining a thickness chart?
Answer: If height contours or isobars are overlaid on the
thickness field, a forecaster can determine the speed and
direction cold air will have. If the lower thicknesses are
advected by the height contours or isobars toward a fixed
point, that fixed point will experience a cooling of weather.
