Map-Reading and Navigation
If you haven't had much previous experience of walking by yourself, and of having to find your own way, or you are baffled by the instructions that came with your new compass, we are happy to offer instruction in map-reading and navigation to our guests, free of charge. Anne is a geography graduate and has had experience in teaching on navigation courses run by the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, and both Richard and Anne have taught map-reading and compass skills to beginners through their involvement with the local orienteering club, Mid Wales Orienteers Several of our walks are easy enough for complete beginners to navigate on their own without any problems; others are more challenging and offer the opportunity to practise your map and compass skills in open hill country. We are always here to offer advice at any level, to help you to get the most out of your holiday. Home Location Accommodation Walks ... Wales Walking Holidays

History 180: Western Science and Technology I
Prof. Brian W. Ogilvie - UMass/Amherst - Fall 2002
Reading Questions for Oct. 29-Nov. 5
Tues. 10/29: Europe and the East
Read: Boorstin, 82-143 (chapters 10-19). Read pp. 82-113 quickly; focus your attention on the later chapters. 1. On p. 86, Boorstin claims, "The great obstacle to discovering the shape of the earth, the continents, and the ocean was not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge." What does this mean? 2. Why is it important for Boorstin to argue that medieval Europeans believed that the earth was flat (chapter 14)? Reminder: this is a historical myth, as I pointed out in lecture. If you would like to read more about the myth, see the fine little book by Jeffrey Burton Russell, Inventing the Flat Earth 3. How did religious belief serve to motivate European and Muslim travelers in the Middle Ages? Where did pilgrims travel, and why? How did pilgrimage differ from missionary activity? 5. What were the most important sources for European knowledge of Asia in the thirteenth century? How much European knowledge of Asia was recorded in books, and why? How much knowledge remained in the heads of merchants and emissaries?

67. How To Take An Accurate Compass Reading
reading THE SIGNS * Being able to read and make a map is only the beginning of being able to find your way about. You MUST learn to interpret the signs found on the ground itself in the air.
http://www.fengshuiweb.co.uk/advice/compass.htm
How to take an accurate compass reading The most important part of a Feng Shui consultation and without one you cannot practice authentic and traditional Feng Shui. You would be amazed at how many consultations we attend where the occupants have told us that their home faces a certain direction, only to find once we are there the measurement has been up to 50 degrees out. Taking a compass reading is actually very easy as long as you follow the advice on this page. If you do not have one already you will need to pop along to your local camping store and pick one up. One similar to the one shown below is ideal. I would not recommend you purchase a Lo Pan Chinese compass unless you are prepared to pay several hundred pounds. There are many cheap versions for sale on the Internet, however, these are better served as decorative items as far as I am concerned. The better ones you will find available from Feng Shui Masters web-sites such as Raymond Lo, Larry Sang and Joseph Yu. Silva 203 Model.

TCs: Michelle Dressler, Kauai High School
Laurie Seto, Kamehameha School On Saturday, September 27, 1997, Michelle Dressler and Laurie Seto conducted a workshop to prepare the TCs and their guests for Geography Awareness Week
(November 16-22). Louann Kimura began the session with an energizer involving T-shirts and its distance from the Hawaiian Islands. Participants were asked to wear tee shirts with a location printed on them. Gordon Piianaia, the Director of Hawaiian Studies Institute at Kamehameha School, shared his expertise on being a geographer. He stated that geography is a man-land relationship and knowing who you are and where you are makes one a geographer. He also shared his experiences as it relates to Hawaii and presented a map lesson which led to the mapping of the polynesian triangle. At snack time, Bernice Kihara's lesson the Snacks in a Bag was presented. This was followed by Michelle Dresslers lesson on How to make an Apple Pie ... The participants were then divided into three groups for hands on activities on compass reading (Michelle Dressler/Laurie Seto), computer networking (Gail Kono and Kristi Higuchi) and looking at materials available for teacher use (Mary Frances Higuchi).

PACIFIC NORTHWEST DRAGONFLY MIGRATION PROJECT
Dragonfly Science Needs Your Help
Monitoring Migratory Dragonflies Prepared by Terry Morse Variegated Meadowhawk dragonflies ( Sympetrum corruptum ) engage in directional (migratory) flights along the northwest coast of the United States in late summer. These attractive, 1 ½ inch long dragonflies, red or yellow with pale stripes on the thorax and pale spots on the abdomen, are believed to fly hundreds of miles or more along the coast of Oregon, and possibly also of Washington and California, to overwinter in southern climes. There is a great deal we don't know about this migration, including exactly where the dragonflies are coming from, exactly where they are going, and exactly why they are going there. The occasionally impressive flights have been observed along the coastal strip, but we don't know how often they also migrate inland. We don't know whether the dragonflies breed west of the Coast Range in Oregon, or whether all fly here from the Willamette Valley or points east. We are still in the natural history phase of describing the migration, and need as many observers watching for their flights as possible. To see what a Variegated Meadowhawk looks like, go to:

  • The Primary Globes (Age 3-5): globes for the very young child that isolate single concepts of globe study-how land and water are shown, and the corresponding shapes of the continents that they learned from the puzzle maps.
    The Puzzle Maps (Age 3-7): the continents, the countries of each continent, and the states of the U.S. They are presented to the children at an early age, and are at first enjoyed simply as challenging puzzles. Soon, however, the children begin to learn the names of given countries, and by age 6 are normally very familiar with the continents of the globe, the nations of North America, South America, and Europe, along with most of the states of the U.S. As soon as the children can read they begin to lay the puzzle pieces out and place the appropriate name labels to each as a reading and geography exercise.

If you took a snapshot of the the sun at the same time each day (from the same location), the Sun would make a figure shaped like an analemma during the course of a year (this is because the Earth is tilted on its axis and because it doesn't orbit the Sun in a perfect circle). antipodes Antipodes are a pair of points that are on opposite sides of a planet (like the North Pole and the South Pole). archipelago An archipelago is a group or chain of islands clustered together in a sea or ocean.
