Heating oil from Bourne library transferred to closed Hoxie School

?

Town Administrator Thomas Guerino advised selectmen last week that heating oil remaining in the tank at the Bourne Public Library on Sandwich Road has been transferred to the closed Ella. F. Hoxie School on Williston Road, North Sagamore.

The library has been converted to natural gas. Guerino said the remaining oil in its tank ?when added to the fuel at Hoxie ? will help save money in keeping the closed school minimally heated this winter.

A community group plans to create an arts and cultural center in the old school near the canal, as soon as the building is conveyed by the town.

Jakks Pacific Spy Net Ultra Vision Goggles

By Will Greenwald

When I was a kid, night vision goggles were $15 glasses with LED lights and green lenses. Nowadays, kids can get?actual night vision goggles. The Jakks Pacific Spy Net Ultra Vision Goggles are functional infrared goggles reasonably priced at $59.99 (list). They let you see in the dark, watch people with various fun video filters, and record anything you see with a built-in camera.

Goggle Design
The Spy Net Ultra Vision Goggles are a large hunk of black plastic with a lens and two arrays of infrared LEDs on one end, two eyepieces surrounded by a rubber shield on the other end, and a series of gray, orange, and green switches on the top surrounding a black power switch and a cover for a microSD card slot. A thin strap hangs from the sides of the goggles, letting you wear them around your shoulders. The underside holds a screwed-in battery door that covers a compartment for four AA batteries.

Like real night vision goggles, the Ultra Vision Goggles use a camera sensor and LCD screens to put a picture in front of your eyes. Since these goggles are a toy, it means the image you see is very low-resolution, and because the goggles are several inches long with the relatively narrow camera on the far end, they heavily skew your perspective and it's easy to bump into things.

Plenty of Controls
A green lever on the top of the goggles switches them into night vision mode, which makes the camera extremely infrared-sensitive and puts a green filter on the picture. This isn't just a visual trick, though; the goggles are sensitive enough to let you see in complete darkness. The right array of infrared LEDs constantly illuminates (invisibly) anything close to it, and a light switch on the top turns on the left array of infrared LEDs that have a slight red glow and can illuminate with infrared objects further away. I used the goggles in a completely dark room, and I could see it clearly with the left array turned on. The red LEDs illuminate objects too much if they're close, though, and the invisible LEDs work better in certain situations.

Photos and Videos
The goggles can capture video or still pictures in VGA (640-by-480) resolution, which is enough to give kids some fun mementos of their adventures. The image quality is predictably terrible, getting very blurry at the slightest movement, or simply because the subject shifted and you forgot to adjust the focus. In this, VGA is a functional resolution, because it's just small enough to make poor details forgivable.

The Jakks Pacific Spy Net Ultra Vision Goggles land on the ever-expanding list of toys that would have been awesome to have when I was a kid. They're a bit pricey (about as much as a PlayStation 3 game), and they might encourage your children to ambush you in the dark, but the goggles are incredibly entertaining for what, just a decade ago, would have consisted of just green lenses and a flashlight.

Japan Airlines starts JAL Tohoku Support Project

TOKYO, Japan - Japan Airlines (JAL) has started JAL Tohoku Support Project - "VISIT TOHOKU!" since June 1, 2013 under its basic CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) Policy. For purpose of supporting disaster-affected area, the airline contributes to stimulate tourism demands and support local industries in Tohoku through its activities of "Bring more tourists to Tohoku" and "Promote people's interest in Tohoku", as well as contributes to support the disaster-affected inhabitants.

JAL decided to operate two round-trip chartered flights from Taipei, Taiwan to Tohoku and one round-trip chartered flight from Fukushima to Honolulu in accordance with this purpose.

Many countries and areas in the world have made donations to the disaster-affected area after the Great East Japan Earthquake happened, and among them, especially Taiwan has made a generous donation to disaster-affected area in Tohoku. JAL operates chartered flights to enable people in Taiwan to visit today's Tohoku and experience Tohoku's attractions in line with further stimulating tourism demands in Tohoku.

Meanwhile, through the chartered flight from Fukushima to Honolulu, JAL wants to provide residents in Fukushima a closer opportunity to refresh their minds by travelling abroad and encourage them to keep walking on the way to rehabilitation.

JAL will fulfill its responsibility as a corporate citizen to meet the expectations of society through its core air transport business. Starting from JAL Tohoku Support Project, the airline will develop various kinds of CSR activities to contribute the betterment of society.

We'll be offering rolling commentary at the company's Tokyo Game Show keynote, as soon as it starts.

Light steered in new directions: 2-D material could lead to shaped, wavy, curved, and sharply bending ways to steer light

[unable to retrieve full-text content]For the first time, researchers have built and demonstrated the ability of two-dimensional disordered photonic band gap material, designed to be a platform to control light in unprecedented ways. The new material could lead to arbitrarily shaped, wavy, curved, and sharply bending ways to steer light.
