Cover Story, "Adding more life to your years" by Dr. Frank Rosato

The trend towards flabbiness has been gradual, and only in recent years has it been given the serious consideration by health professionals it needs. Modern urban Americans live in a sedentary world. Our agrarian forefathers put in far more than an eight-hour day, and real muscle was usually involved in their efforts. Even today's rural Americans labor less strenuously than their fathers or grandfathers because of the mechanization of farms, nor do modern farmers' wives have the same backbreaking chores their grandmothers did.

Emergent Bilingual Students And Middle Level Social Studies: Overcoming The “Huh?”, Asten Leonard

South Carolina Association for Middle Level Education Journal

Throughout my career in middle level education, I have taken note of how my emergent bilingual students react to assignments and lessons in my history classes. Direct instruction and primary source materials can prove especially challenging. In this article, I hope to provide middle school Social Studies educators with strategies that I have found to be successful in my classroom when teaching English Learner (EL) students history. Building a relationship, adhering to accommodations, scaffolding concepts and vocabulary, and incorporating a student’s culture into lessons can help us overcome the “Huh?” in the classroom.

Uas For Public Safety: Active Threat Recognition, Joseph Cerreta, Tray Denney, Scott S. Burgess, Anthony Galante, David Thirtyacre, Gloria A. Wilson, Patrick Sherman

International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace

The Center for Homeland Defense and Security identified an increase of active threat events, such as mass shootings, annually since 1999. Literature suggests that 90% of shootings were over before law enforcement arrived at the scene and the first responder response was limited to “surround and contain” until Special Weapons and Tactics Teams (SWAT) arrived on the scene. Using Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) to detect which individual was the threat and type of weapon used can provide useful information to increase the speed of the response for first-on-scene rather than waiting for SWAT if the type of weapon was known. …

Avoiding Mistakes In Drone Usage In Participatory Mapping: Methodological Considerations During The Pandemic, Naufal Naufal, Andi Asriadi, Sutrisno Absar

Forest and Society

Participatory mapping has continued to evolve with the onset of new methodologies and technology. Conventional methods for sketching have now expanded to incorporate the use of drone imagery and other sophisticated mapping approaches as a base map. However, the use of ultra-high resolution drone imagery does not mean that it will facilitate more participatory processes nor improve the quality of data and uses of information. Indeed, it has long been known that ultra-high spatial resolution can cause misinterpretation. During COVID-19, innovations are emerging to apply more remote technologies in participatory mapping. Mobility concerns, requirements, and preferences for physical distancing discourages …

Exploring 3d Data Reuse And Repurposing Through Procedural Modeling, Rachel Opitz, Heather Richards-Rissetto, Karin Dalziel, Jessica Dussault, Greg Tunink

Department of Anthropology: Faculty Publications

Most contemporary 3D data used in archaeological research and heritage management have been created through ‘reality capture,’ the recording of the physical features of extant archaeological objects, structures, and landscapes using technologies such as laser scanning and photogrammetry (Garstki 2020, ch.2; Magnani et al. 2020). A smaller quantity of data are generated by Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) projects, and even fewer data are generated through procedural modeling, the rapid prototyping of multi-component threedimensional (3D) models from a set of rules (Figure 8.1.). It is unsurprising therefore that in archaeology and heritage, efforts around digital 3D …
