The Arduino programming language is very similar to the C and C++ programming language. This is for people who are new to programming or even people who have not programmed an Arduino module before. The kit also comes with a CD that contains various sketches for a variety of projects. True to its’ name, the Elegoo starter kits come with a PDF that contains more than 30 tutorials on projects that deal with the use of every single material found in the kit. The kit is compatible with most Arduino modules and Elegoo believes it is the most complete starter kit (I think it might be) out there. Elegoo, also creates and sells various types of Arduino kits and pieces.Īs said, Elegoo-El-KIT-001 UNO R3 is an Arduino starter kit that has over 200 components to cover most of your starter needs. Elegoo Kit is made from a technology company based in Shenzhen China which I that’s justify its low cost and availability. This is because each component of the kit is clearly labeled, it includes a CD with various Arduino tutorials and includes more than 200 electronics components to build your own project. The Elegoo EL-KIT-001 is one of such Arduino kits that goes a step above of other available kits. With these kits, one can build projects like smart homes, robots, weather station, fancy light controllers, Alexa clone and many more. ![]() At the same time, professionals can use Arduino for research purposes as the kits have been made to suit everyone. ![]() But how to choose the one that is right for you? Here we will take a look on Elegoo Arduino Starter Kit.Īrduino kits contain an Arduino Uno board or similar board and some other parts that can be used to teach electronics and programming in its simplest form to kids, students, makers, and others. There are many Arduino starter kits available on the market and most of these kits are intended for electronics enthusiasts who just beginning their journey to Arduino. ![]() What if we could house all the necessary components in one box? Here, comes the Arduino kits. It can be overwhelming for beginners to get started with so many options. Arduino has several add-ons like sensors, modules, shields, displays, and others that can be added to a project to increase its complexity and there are several add-ons that are available in the market from different makers. Using an Arduino a student new to electronics and embedded systems can easily build something interesting in less than 2 hours.ĭespite the awesomeness and usefulness of the Arduino platform, it also comes with some challenges. Arduino has grown to be one of the best learning platforms for young engineers and students. Arduino is an open source software and electronics platform that has evolved the open hardware, DIY (do it yourself), makers, STEM, and the electronics industry. To be clear, we call this a stubborn drill lovingly. With the 2.5-Ah battery, it weighs 5.2 pounds. Although the drill is the same size as a large 18-volt drill, it is heavier than most of its competitors. It should be obvious that this drill is not petite. Three large icons (a hammer, a screw, and a drill bit) are easy to see, and this helps to quickly adjust the drill to the appropriate setting. The absence of a manual clutch ring at the front of the drill simplifies set up for drilling, driving, or hammer drilling. Turn a knob just above its battery to set the torque limit of the clutch to disengage the drivetrain and motor. Instead of a clutch ring, like a normal drill, it has electronic drive torque control. This Makita’s engineering is masterful in other ways. That’s helpful drilling wood, but even more important drilling steel, where it’s far more difficult to balance the variables of motor speed, bit diameter, and steel hardness and thickness. Balancing that with its electronic speed control that maintains motor speed under load put us in the driver seat (okay, we’ll stop here with the sports car analogies). Fortunately, the tool has great control because all that power would be useless without being able to handle it properly. The GPH01D is the first tool we’ve tried in Makita’s new 40-volt XGT series, power tools with 40-volt motors but batteries that are the same size as a large 18-volt. Okay, it didn’t bore the most holes in this test, but it did get to its number faster than anything else. Knots don’t stop it and barely slow it down. So long as you keep that trigger pulled, it will just churn through hole after hole. Pull its trigger (floor it, if you will), and you just burn through one hole after another until the battery is done. Using this drill, you feel like somebody just tossed you the keys to their Ferrari. If you need this much power tool muscle you just need to have some muscle of your own. But as to the tool’s weight, we don’t count that as a mark against it. The other large-battery tools were the DeWalt (5.4 pounds) and the Makita (5.2 pounds), and these were also pro-duty, intended for either serious do-it-yourselfers or contractors. ![]() The FX1171T, with a 5-Ah battery, was the heaviest of the drills (5.8 pounds). ![]() You should know that this is clearly a heavy-duty tool intended for people who need maximum power and run time. We can’t fully vouch for that particular feature, but we can say that we pushed this Flex very hard and noticed no kick back the drill will pause momentarily if you really lean into it (call it a reset). The FX1171T blasted out its hole allotment, helped by its turbo mode setting that bumps up the top speed from 2,000 to 2,500 rpm.Īlso helping was the tool’s circuitry, which has an anti-kickback feature. We’ve tried a batch of these tools (drills, saws, rotary hammers and grinders) and find them to be formidable competitors in the professional segment. And when we say “muscling in,” we’re not kidding. Flex, short for Flex Elektrowerkzeuge, is a German power tool company muscling its way into the American market. ![]() Please allow a little bit of size deviation due to manual measurement.

LGBTQ+ events: Celebrate Pride Month 2023 in the Wilmington area with these 7 events "It might be dysfunctional at times, but it's still a family." Those types of things will probably never be totally eradicated, but the theater community reflects society at large in that it is "a family," Phillips said. ![]() When he started performing, Phillips said, "There was homophobia in theater. ![]() Early this year, Kennedy did a staged reading of a play he wrote, "Lessons at the Piano," a #MeToo-style reckoning with sexual harassment but from a gay man's perspective. As a refuge, "He would go straight from school to the Community Arts Center until time for evening rehearsal there."įor people like that, Kennedy said, being involved in theater has been almost literally life saving. Kennedy talked about one Wilmington performer he knows who was bullied in high school for being gay. since the 1990s, said it's impossible to underestimate the impact that having a supportive theater community has had on countless LGBTQ+ people in Wilmington, "Especially young people as they navigate being authentic and who they truly are." Ray Kennedy, who has directed many musicals for Opera House Theatre Co. "I mean, we had trouble just doing Sondheim back then," Phillips said. Recent hit musicals here like "La Cage" and "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert," probably couldn't have been done in the '80s or '90s. LGBTQ+ issues in Wilmington: Veteran Wilmington drag queen on being trans, kids at shows and 'idiotic' legislation A lifeline for someĪs Wilmington has become more "sophisticated," Phillips said, so has the theater community. "Eventually I figured it out … It was somebody who had a brother or a sister or a father or a mother or a child who was gay, and they came to somehow or another understand it." Tony Rivenbark, the late director of Thalian Hall who saw early iterations of "The Lambda" and performed in later ones, told the StarNews in 2000 that, "It was always interesting to me to see people (at the show) who didn't really look like … your typical theatergoers. (It was also revived in 2016 at the old TheatreNOW.) Improbably, perhaps, "The Lambda" was such a hit that Opera House staged it four times between 19. "There were people who wanted to come to it, but they didn't want to be seen, so we had to sneak them up the back stairs." The first time they did "The Lambda," Phillips said, there was a bit of a taboo quality to it. "It was one of the first times where we weren't the funny sidekick or the sassy best friend or the kind of pathetic, suicidal character." This was one of the first times they could see their stories depicted on stage," Phillips said. "The Lambda" is about the residents of a fictional Carolina Beach gay bar that Cooper has said was based on David's Lounge, which was on Market Street in Wilmington where PinPoint Restaurant is now, and on the famous Paddock Club in Greenville. ![]() Phillips said a "watershed" moment for the LGBTQ+ community in Wilmington theater came in 1992, when Opera House presented an original musical by Steve Cooper (words) and Brad Moranz (music) in Thalian Hall's studio theater.

With particular emphasis on populations at nutritional risk (i.e., the elderly, low-income working, homeless and immigrant households), the SNAP Outreach Project creates and distributes materials, provides trainings and offers client assistance through direct outreach in the community and a toll-free hotline. The URI SNAP Outreach Project works to improve access through education efforts targeted to the public at large, to professional staff and volunteers who work with low-income individuals and to low-income individuals directly. Since 2001, the URI Feinstein Center for a Hunger Free America has been awarded an annual contract from the RI Department of Human Services to conduct Rhode Island’s SNAP Outreach efforts. The US Department of Agriculture encourages states to conduct outreach activities to improve access to and increase participation in SNAP by ensuring eligible households apply for and receive nutrition assistance. The single most important federal nutrition program aimed at improving the nutritional intakes of low-income families is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, SNAP. In situations of hunger and poverty, families are faced with limited choices.

Each cup of mercury was electrically connected to a dial with two hands that rotated in a manner analogous to the hands on a clock and were able to record numbers from 0 to 9999. Where holes had been punched in the card, pins passed through them and made electrical contact with the mercury. A hinged “pin box” that held an identically spaced array of spring-loaded pins was pulled down upon the card on the rubber surface. Information was read from each card by placing it on a hard rubber mat that contained an array of tiny cups of mercury, so spaced that there was a cup directly under each of the possible hole locations. Information about each deceased person was recorded by holes punched in selected locations in cards 3 1/4 by 8 5/8 inches (8.26 by 21.9 centimeters) on a side. Billings in 1886, Hollerith arranged for a practical test of his recently designed equipment in recording and tabulating vital statistics for the Department of Health in Baltimore, Maryland. What Hollerith could and did claim was a novel use of concepts well known to others to create new and useful capabilities “not obvious to those skilled in the art.” (It is interesting to note that Hollerith’s decision to use punched cards in his tabulating equipment was influenced by several contemporary sources, including telegraph transmitters, library index cards, and probably the Jacquard looms, but Hollerith had no knowledge of the work of Charles Babbage.) Jacquard, had used a sequence of cards with holes punched in them to cause an automated loom to reproduce very intricate patterns. Furthermore, half a century earlier, the British mathematician Charles Babbage had proposed (but never completed an operational model of) an “analytical engine” driven by data and instructions stored in punched cards and even a quarter of a century before that, the Frenchman Joseph M. Hollerith could not claim the invention of punching holes in cards or tape to store information or the electrical reading of these holes because these concepts had already been used in the telegraph system. Later that year, he divided the patent into two patents. The device described in the patent made use of tape rather than cards, but the patent claims were broad enough to cover either case. Later that year he filed his first punched card patent application. ![]() In 1884 he resigned from the Patent Office and started his own business as an “Expert and Solicitor of Patents.” He began conducting experiments during his spare time while teaching for one year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and then while an assistant examiner in the U.S. census, Hollerith considered many alternatives, including the use of paper tape and cards with holes punched in them to store information. Billings, who was a physician with interest in statistical information about public health issues, generously provided important suggestions and encouragement.ĭuring the years before the next U.S. Billings, to spend some of his time studying the operation of the census and to seek ways to mechanize it. Walker, and by a senior member of the technical team, Dr. Census of 1880, Hollerith was encouraged by the superintendent of the Census, Francis A. Constitution that Congress conduct an enumeration of the population every ten years in order to help ensure fair representation and taxation among the states of the United States. This task had been added to the relatively simple mandate of the U.S. Congress to acquire information on the country’s economy to help in making policy decisions. Census Bureau respond to the desire of the U.S. ![]() He and several other technically trained persons had been hired to help the U.S. Soon after graduating in 1879, at age nineteen from the Columbia School of Mines, Herman Hollerith was hired to work for the U.S. Through continual improvements, first by Hollerith and then by many others, punched card equipment created and expanded the worldwide information processing industry and continued to play a significant role in that industry for more than two decades after the first commercial electronic computers were installed in the early 1950s. Punched card tabulating equipment, invented and developed by Herman Hollerith to process data from the United States Census of 1890, was the first mechanized means for compiling and analyzing statistical information.

But she could not hide him longer as the Pharoah had ordered to kill all the Hebrew babies. I am sure she would have wished for a pause button in life so she could have frozen those wonderful memories with her “fine child”. Moses’ mother saw that Moses was a “fine child” and so she hid him for three months. 4 His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.“ Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile. 3 But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him for three months. “ Now a man of the tribe of Levi married a Levite woman, 2 and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. It was then God spoke to me through the life of a brave mother who decided to do something extraordinary to save her child. I was also slightly sad in the corner of my mind to see how quickly the kids grow and I was wishing if there is a pause button in life so I can freeze these moments. To my knowledge this was one of the best summer holidays we ever had. Personally I was slightly sad to see a great summer vacation (after a year long covid saga) coming to an end.
