LCRA already has reliable and stable technology in place to display their own gauge data. The most concentrated area of rain occurred across the northern Hill Country, over Brown, Coleman, Mills and San Saba Counties where several LCRA gauges recorded between 2 and 3 inches of rain. A large area of rain spread southeast over the Hill Country earlier this morning, producing widespread totals between a quarter inch and 3 inches. Includes national weather service ID's for stations. We’ve seen quite a bit of rain falling across the Hill Country and Central Texas regions today.

Use this drop down list to select the data you want to display on the map. The City of Austin’s Watershed Protection Department has been using a combination of city, United States Geological Survey (USGS) and LCRA gauges to monitor rainfall and flood levels in order to protect the public from flooding and to close low water crossings since the 1980s. Since midnight, last 24 hours, and daily totals for the previous 4 days. 24 Hour Rainfall totals from the National Weather Service, LCRA, WeatherBug Network.

LCRA's Hydromet system uses gauges throughout the Lower Colorado River basin to supply real-time information concerning streamflow, current lake levels, recent rainfall amounts, and current temperatures throughout the basin. It is our hope that this web site can help the public monitor flooding conditions, so that they can take the appropriate steps to protect themselves, their families and their neighbors.” “With our propensity for flooding, I can’t stress how important it is for everyone to be aware of their surroundings. ![]() “We’re in the heart of flash flood alley, here in Austin,” said Joe Pantalion, P.E., the director of the Watershed Protection Department. The city is paying the LCRA to host and maintain the website, which will eventually include other critical information during flooding such as the creek “stage” - how high the water in a creek has risen at the gauge site. ![]() ![]() Here, for example-in addition to the pH measurement-conductivity measurements are performed. However, at the foundation is impedance measurement via electrodes, which enables conclusions about various diseases to be drawn. This is a relatively new field in medicine with numerous different approaches and a wide variety of methods. Here, the bodily excretions are investigated for the purposes of drawing conclusions about diseases and irregularities. In this way, for example, pH, conductivity, composition, and saturation can be measured.įinally, feces and urine from patients are also measured. The dialysis fluid conductivity measurement is also done via impedance analysis. With chronic renal failure, the blood has to be filtered. Highly accurate, power-saving impedance measurements are urgently needed here.Īnother application of fluid measurement is dialysis. In the future, development should move away from the individual measurement and toward a continuous measurement method for constantly monitoring the blood sugar level. Based on this value, the patient can adjust his or her medication or diet. Here, a drop of blood on a test strip is sufficient for drawing conclusions about the blood sugar level in the blood. The most widely known fluid measurement in medicine is blood glucose measurement. In this article, we will concentrate on fluid measurements with medical uses and thereby describe the individual applications as well as the versatility of impedance measurements. What all these measurements have in common is the underlying measurement principle-an impedance measurement. However, examples of liquid measurements extend far beyond water-fluids in medicine such as blood, saliva, and fecal matter must be able to be tested for possible diseases because they have a direct impact on health. Access to continuously declining clean water resources is a increasingly important topic. Clean water and water filter technology play important roles around the world and are necessary to life. The most prominent example is water, the most precious raw material in the world. The determination of the composition and quality of liquids is essential in a wide variety of applications. Christoph Kämmerer Download PDF Introduction ![]() This serves up another question over the song: What does Jerusalema say about South Africa’s soft power? For the moment, the song has made the country prominent on the world map. The viral life of the song has given Master KG access to elusive global music markets. So, the #JerusalemaDanceChallenge became a bridge to the rest of the continent, the African diaspora and Europe. Angola also has well-established European networks due to its political history. Dance music is popular in Angola, with local styles like kizomba and kuduro. It is also not entirely surprising that the viral dance sequence associated with Jerusalema came from Angola. It not only offers catchy dance music and a relatable message, it also makes local market history for gospel-dance fusion. The song has essentially penetrated this large market but also had an impact on local music market benchmarks. What is interesting is that in South Africa, gospel music traditionally outsells most other popular music genres. Many crossover songs go viral because they straddle target audiences in different genres. This translates anywhere Christianity plays a social or institutional role, making the song resonate beyond its danceability.Īnd this makes Jerusalema another successful crossover - a popular house music song that also manages to be a gospel song. It has resonated with people who may not understand the isiZulu lyrics, but understand its inherent religious theme, because of associations with the biblical city Jerusalem. Jerusalema went viral during the isolation and loss caused by Covid-19 lockdowns world-wide. Beyond this, Jerusalema’s message of seeking guidance and protection towards a spiritual home in a turbulent time is also relevant for this historical moment. Its popularity comes not only at a time when songs with a dance sequence often have a viral life, like Drake’s online hit In my feelings or the pre-internet Macarena’ by Los Del Rio. ![]() ![]() So Simon’s fame plus cumulative factors helped make Graceland a hit album. By making the album with black South African musicians, Simon defied apartheid, but also disregarded the cultural boycott of South Africa. But they were similarly riding the wave of rebellion. The South African hits emanating from Paul Simon’s Graceland album – like Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s Homeless – were incredibly popular in Europe and North America. Its popularity in Africa, Europe and North America was enabled not only by her fame as a singer but also by her political activism and networks against the apartheid regime. The success of what is now known as Wimoweh (The lion sleeps tonight) was possible because of its exploitation of Linda’s labour and intellectual property rights.Īnother prominent song was Miriam Makeba’s infectious dance hit Pata Pata during the height of apartheid in the 1960s. Since then it has become a multi-generational staple in stage productions and Hollywood films and covered by numerous bands around the world. It was misinterpreted as Wimoweh almost at once by American folk singer Peter Seeger. The first is Mbube, written by Solomon Linda and performed with his troupe the Evening Birds in the 1930s.

Magic Mirror comes with several default modules which can be configured by changing config/config.js you can access the file locally, via SSH or Samba. To ensure the monitor starts up on power I followed this guide on MagicMirror’s github page but I will briefly explain it here. This will give you an initial starting point from which you can configure to your heart's desire, I have outlined some of the changes I made below. This is a great beginner project as the software is dead simple to setup and configure.ĭownload and flash the latest of Raspbian desktop to a micro SD and setup wifi/ssh/samba you can see guides here for those, then to install the magic mirror software run this one command in the terminal: bash -c "$(curl -sL )" Once the frame was constructed and the monitor was mounted, I had to secure and wire the electrical components, I attached the raspberry Pi to the monitor and mounted it on the back, I ran the power for the pi and monitor to a powerboard which powers the mirror. Finally I finished up the sides with more pine and MDF, be aware this can result in a very heavy and thick end product. Once I had the frame, monitor and reflective surface I had to mount the monitor, I traced the monitor onto a piece of MDF mounted to the front, I then used pine to clamp the backside of the monitor to the frame. To create the reflective surface I applied a roll of mirror film to the frames included plastic protector using the provided tools, this results in a silver tilt and some surface bubbles but still very acceptable.To avoid this you can get a custom made double sided mirror but beware these can cost hundreds.īen from Ben Eagan YouTube has a great video on the subject which can be viewed here. Once you have decided on these you can then create your reflective surface. ![]() The first step is to choose your frame and monitor, try to ensure your monitor is bright enough to be seen under the mirror in a bright room. I did not plan the construction and this resulted in a dead monitor and lots of wasted wood, so learn from my mistakes and measure twice cut once! Below is how I would construct it, if I did it again. On the low end I completed this project for ~$100 as I had many parts already, I recommend you set a budget early on as costs can escalate quickly :) Construction:

Wealthy people often had richly illuminated " books of hours" made, which set down prayers appropriate for various times in the liturgical day. It was usually reserved for special books: an altar Bible, for example. Illumination was a complex and frequently costly process. The decoration of this page from a French Book of Hours, ca.1400, includes a miniature, initials and borders. Indeed, for many areas and time periods, they are the only surviving examples of painting. Illuminated manuscripts are the best surviving specimens of medieval painting, and the best preserved. Illuminated manuscripts continued to be produced in the early sixteenth century, but in much smaller numbers, mostly for the very wealthy. Very early printed books were sometimes produced with spaces left for rubrics and miniatures, or were given illuminated initials, or decorations in the margin, but the introduction of printing rapidly led to the decline of illumination. Most medieval manuscripts, illuminated or not, were written on parchment (most commonly of calf, sheep, or goat skin), but most manuscripts important enough to illuminate were written on the best quality of parchment, called vellum, traditionally made of unsplit calf skin, though high quality parchment from other skins were also called parchment.īeginning in the late Middle Ages manuscripts began to be produced on paper. A very few illuminated manuscript fragments survive on papyrus. Most illuminated manuscripts were created as codices, which had superseded scrolls some isolated single sheets survive. However, especially from the thirteenth century onward, an increasing number of secular texts were illuminated. The majority of these manuscripts are of a religious nature. The majority of surviving manuscripts are from the Middle Ages, although many illuminated manuscripts survive from the fifteenth century Renaissance, along with a very limited number from Late Antiquity. The very existence of illuminated manuscripts as a way of giving stature and commemoration to ancient documents may have been largely responsible for their preservation in an era when barbarian hordes had overrun continental Europe and ruling classes were no longer literate. Had it not been for the monastic scribes of Late Antiquity, the entire literature of Greece and Rome would have perished as it was, the patterns of textual survivals were shaped by their usefulness to the severely constricted literate group of Christians. The significance of these works lies not only in their inherent art history value, but in the maintenance of a link of literacy offered by non-illuminated texts as well. (also in the gothic period), primarily produced in Ireland, Constantinople and Italy. The earliest surviving substantive illuminated manuscripts are from the period 400 to 600 C.E. As with other religious works, the creative process involved in making an illuminated manuscript was also a time of religious devotion and prayer monks used bright colors in order to illustrate the religious truth and the glory of God. ![]() An informative synopsis for each manuscript orients the reader at a glance, while a 36-page appendix contains biographies of the artists, as well as an extensive bibliography, an index, and a glossary for technical terms.Many illuminated manuscripts were made by monks at monasteries.
