wow, sounds like a huge undertaking. Loads of research and drawing, but it sounds like fun! And I'm sure with your skills & productivity you will manage Anyway, best of luck in getting this thing started! cheers, DJ
Since I've gotten some experience creating game supplement and module publications through Rite Publishing and others, combining writing skills, editing, cartography and illustration, I'm beginning preliminary work in creating my first non-game maps publication.
I'm looking to create an illustrated coffee table book, probably printed through lulu.com, and possibly funded between a grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, and any additional funding requirements through a Kickstarter. The book would feature my hand-drawn and digitally finished maps using Xara Xtreme software - my standard mapping application, as well as hand-drawn illustrations of local wildlife, wild flowers and trees. The text portion would include background detail on the founding of each park, all associated histories, legends and folklore pertaining to the sites, detailed trail information on all the facilities and services provided by each state park.
LaSalle County, Illinois - the county where I live in north central Illinois contains 3 state parks: Buffalo Rock, Mathiessen and Starved Rock state parks. The region is especially picturesque compared to the mostly flat farmland terrain that surrounds it. 70' high sandstone bluffs, stream cut canyons, cascades, waterfalls and oak forest comprises much of the beauty of these 3 parks. All feature hiking trails, some have biking trails, and several have defined crossbow hunting areas in various seasons.
I am now preparing the documents necessary for applying for a grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, although as stated above, I am sure additional funding will be necessary and for that I will try to get a Kickstarter to pay for this. Most likely local patrons and regional patrons interested in Illinois State Parks, and those in the Chicago area (nearest large metropolitan area) would provide funding.
This is just the start period, although I've considered doing something like this for a few years now. I'm thinking of including illustrations and maps of historic sites that are nolonger there, such as Fort St. Louis erected on top of Starved Rock in 1687, but not even a trace remains. A study done by Illinois State University in 1948 offers the site details of that fort from an archaeological study, which I now have sent to me by ISU. I will be using other study research papers, existing topographical maps, existing trail maps and actual hikes by me combined to give me the necessary data to create the maps.
I might become overwhelmed, as such a product is a major endeavor - so we'll see how it goes. I'm guessing it will take me about a year to produce all the necessary material, maps and illustrations. I will create a thread of it's own once the project really begins, and I will post my maps in progress at that time. I probably won't be officially starting until the New Year, but I am gathering my initial data at this time.
My perception is that such a project would prove to be more profitable with a much wider distribution in volume than any of the RPG publications I've been involved with thus far.
This will be a huge project for me, so wish me luck - I'll need it.

While I don't have all the information yet, I've been trying to compare Lulu.com with Amazon's CreateSpace for the Print-On-Demand costs. Apparently a 48 page full color book (softcover) costs $16.38 each book at Lulu, while the same book at CreateSpace is $4.00 - hmmm, not that hard of a decision to make. I still need to see print samples to compare to lulu's print process.
I've discovered that public funds and grants will not available as my project is a commercial one. So it looks like this will probably be completely funded by a Kickstarter project, of which I am fairly certain should be successful. I did get a hold of representative of the Heritage Corridor Society - an organization that promotes visitor projects relating to the Illinois-Michigan Canal historical corridor (which covers Chicago to the canal's terminus in LaSalle County). They may get large format prints of the maps I create as part of a promotion. Many of the funding members in a Kickstarter would probably come from members of that society.
Looking at my current publication development schedule for my Kaidan setting guidebooks which will run into next spring, this means I won't probably officially start this project until that time. Still I am gathering USGS topographical maps for reference and gathering other materials. The process is moving forward.

Great move GP. I've been thinking about other ways to use the skills we typically put into RPG products to generate income from real world applications. I in fact thought parks would be a good start. Hats off to you for blazing the way. I will look forward to seeing how things go.
On a side note, are you sure about the grants thing? I'm just wondering if you were to couch it in an educational / historical light if it might qualify. Maybe it's the wording. Of course, if you purpose to be selling them yourself I guess they would classify them as commercial. I'm just thinking there may be a way around that if you wanted to look into what those requirements were. Then again, if Kickstarter will be sufficient there may not be any need for it.
When its over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best that you were capable of? If so, the score does not matter. But if you find that you did your best you were capable of, you will find it to your liking. -John Wooden

Wow, that DOES sound like a fun project. Lots of work , but fun none the less. I have always found that doing research like this on a area that you are familiar with generally has quite a few "Gosh, I never knew THAT about THIS!!" moments. Which is great when it happens IMHO.
My mother wanted to something like this for the Bruce/Lake George area to your north, but with more of a focus on the Flora and trails of the place. Including the swampland around there. Nothing came of it thougth....except a lot of beautiful pictures and many a swamp-hopping story.
Good luck GP. looking forward to hearing more as it gets under way.

I've finally decided to get the Kickstarter to fund this project started in the next week or two. I am currently arranging to obtain event coupons of LaSalle County area events to tie into various payment tiers as incentives for contributors. Once these have been arranged, I will start the Kickstarter for 30 days to attempt to acquire the funds necessary to produce. I plan to make $4000 as the required minimum amount for success with this Kickstarter, though I hope to include stretch goals that will extend welll beyond that amount. I need funds to cover editing, and am considering commissioning an illustrator for some of the flora/fauna illustrations I will need for this book - of course everything else will be done by myself: writing, artistic cartography, some illustration, 3D illustration, cover design, page layout.
Wishful thinking, if I could get a more substantial amount from the Kickstarter ($10,000+) I am interested in purchasing an unmanned aerial vehicle with a camera, so I can fly over intended map locations to capture greater detail than what Googlemaps can provide (that will cost me around $5000 by itself, including a laptop and software dedicate to it's use.) Imagine the benefits of having a UAV in possession to advance the capabilities of my mapping!
While looking for top tier contributor benefit of a weekend for 2 at the Starved Rock Lodge (operated by Jumers), I found myself arranging for book orders for five different state run gift shops (and the book doesn't even exist yet!) So it already looks like I will have many successful delivery platforms to sell the book once it's created.
I'm shooting for a December 2013 release of the published book. I will post a thread in the News Forum once the Kickstarter begins, and I may post WIP maps of the various maps as they are being developed.
Maps I plan to include:
Regional map of sand deposits in shallow seas from the Ordovician Era, 480 million years ago.
Regional map of Illinois River valley and the Kankakee Torrent (cataclysmic event 13,000 years ago) causing a great lake of glacial melt water to burst and carve the canyons of area parks over a 3 day period.
Grand Village of Kaskaskia - native village of Illini Confederation established in 1687 (opposite river bank from Starved Rock).
3D illustration of Ft. St. Louis de le roche (fort built by LaSalle on Starved Rock in 1689).
Present day illustrated map of Buffalo Rock, Mathiessen and Starved Rock State Parks.
Map showing LaSalle County (inset of Illinois map) depicting the Illinois-Michigan Canal Heritage Corridor as it passes and ends in the county.
Wish me luck!

In trying to think of ways of adding content to this book, as a stretch goal, beyond my initial intended composition.
I was thinking of including the communities along the Heritage Corridor with articles relating to past and present, as well as including plat maps of those same communities from an 1876 Plat Book of LaSalle County which I have access. By age, the maps are definitely in the public domain, along with illustrations of various farms from the period as well. Reprinting those maps and illustrations would fit the concept of the overall project.
In addition I wanted to add a few pages dedicated to the cryptozoology of LaSalle County. South of the Illinois River in Seneca, IL (furthest eastern edge of the county) along Dupont Road there have been at least 2 sitings of a 'bigfoot' creature in 1979 and 1983 called the Dupont Monster. Also multiple sitings throughout northern Illinois including communities of this region have been reported of black panthers or black coated puma - such sitings have been noted here for over 100 years. There is even an unreported claim of a giant vulture witnessed in Marseilles - with a claimed wing span of over 20 feet, if it's to be believed.
While not cryptzoology, per se, the first recorded incident of spontaneous human combustion occurred in Ottawa (my hometown) in 1888.
I'm trying to find a way to justify an extended goal of added content for $10,000 (from the basic $4000 goal of the Kickstarter).
My real purpose for acquiring $10,000 is for the purchase of a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) similar to those used by the military with a high resolution camera to allow me to take top-down and isometric panned camera shots for use in this and other similar projects for better resource photography, instead of relying on existing topographical maps, and satellite views as from Google Maps. The remote control plane, laptop and software would run me about $6,000. While I can certainly create the maps without the UAV, it would greatly enhance the resource material for this and provide a great tool for future projects like this one.

I am still arranging coupons as Kickstarter contributor perks. So far I've got a top contributor's bonus of a weekend for two at Starved Rock Lodge, for a single contributor of $1,000. I am looking to arrange coupons for the Spirit of Peoria, a paddle wheel riverboat traveling from Peoria, IL, going up the Illinois River to Starved Rock State Park - these coupons might be available for a $75 contributor payment. Also looking to obtain coupons for the Illinois-Michigan Canal Boat Tour, and bus tours to local historical homes provided by the Reddick Mansion Association.
Once all these coupons have been arranged for, I will start my Kickstarter to fund this project.

10k? here in canada they've been advertised as around 1500, is are there other fees not associated with the unit itself (just curious)... i could have also been seeing an extremely cheap one
interesting project, and well, your work is worth it! hope things go well!
as far as ideas, history always goes over well for books, possible stories and stuff from historical sites, it's hard to give suggestions without knowing more about your project, and i realize you might not want to reveal lots about it online.
again.. good luck! lot harder thinking up content for REAL places
Photoshop, CC3, ArcGIS, Bryce, Illustrator, Maptool
No, 10K is what I need for the Kickstarter, plus the UAV. The UAV will run me around $6,000.
I've seen cheap ones for as little as $500, but I would prefer one with more stable flight, longer lasting flight and one with a high end camera. But I will shop around for the best price at what I desire. That also includes laptop and software to control the flight.
While getting airborne involves tossing the plane into the air, the flight plan, elevation changes and where it lands is determined by settings in the software. While it can be run remote control - I'm not so excited about being an RC pilot. I just as soon send it in the air, then wait in my car until the plane lands next to it...

Mississippi State will usher in year two of the Dan Mullen era today as the Bulldogs welcome Memphis to town to get the 2010 season underway.The Bulldogs finished six-inches shy of going bowling last year and hope to get off to a successful start at 6 p.m. so their postseason aspirations can be realized.Today will be the 43rd meeting between the two programs with MSU holding a 31-11 edge in the series. The Bulldogs have won the last 10 meetings in the series and hold a 14-4 advantage in Starkville.The last time out, State walked away with a 35-27 victory at Davis Wade Stadium for homecoming in 2003. The Bulldogs got two touchdown performances from quarterback Kevin Fant and running back Nick Turner as well as a 100-yard kickoff return from Fred Reid to help carry them to victory.Mississippi State finished 2009 with a 5-7 record averaging 25.6 points and 371.9 yards of total offense. The Bulldogs led the Southeastern Conference with 227.6 yards rushing per game and added 144.3 yards through the air last season. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member.

Most everyone here knows Clay. He's the guy upgrading the system with high-tech servers, or working countless hours to keep the site running. For years GP has been a tremendous source of information for new artists, old artists, printers -and the collectors that buy their stuff.
While at Flatstock I make a point of stopping over and talking with Clay. I spoke with him again this year at F13 and I learned something new. The website is basically a one man show –I knew that. What I didn't know is that financially, GP is pretty much a break-even. That was a surprise considering how much time and energy Clay spends keeping the bus rolling.
Several weeks after F13 something fizzled, and then I smelled smoke, and then I had this idea about a fund raiser to keep the site running at the highest levels. If supporters from the collector community dusted off the flat files and donated one print, we could put together something significant.
As it was, my idea leaked to certain industry-types, and the response has been impressive. Jody Goodall is unlocking the family vault as we speak. Andy Diesel, Dan McCarthy and Jay Ryan all have prints ready to donate. AND – White Stripes fans will be running around bumping heads when they hear about Rob Jones' donations. There is an entire 2005/2006 White Stripes North American Set, and more (a lot more).
So...in recognition of the countless hours Clay has put into this website, and to support the community that supports us, I propose...
The First Annual Gigposters.com Fund Raiser
Here's how it works:
1. Pick a poster that you are willing to donate from your collection. The goal is 60 posters, so if you got a Green Lady gathering dust, toss her in!
2. Email 1 high quality picture of your print to: email@example.com Send big pictures -don't crop.
3. I will set up the eBay auctions and all donated posters will be sold on eBay. You do nothing until your poster sells.
NOTE: Please donate posters from your collection that have the highest probability of selling. Any eBay fees for unsold posters will be eaten by the fund raiser, so help out –NO SNIFFER PRINTS.
4. IMMEDIATELY, once your poster sells I will send you the winning bidder information and a check to cover the shipping costs. Basically, all you do is throw the print into a tube and ship.
5. All posters should be loosely rolled in craft paper, placed in a sturdy tube and shipped USPS Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation.
6. You can opt to have your name used in the auction as the "donatee" or not. The net balance of your eBay auction will be donated to Gigposters.com, so Clay can continue to support the site that supports us.
7. I will run 15 auctions per week starting in October. All auction pricing will begin at average market value.
To start the ball rolling, I am donating these two posters from my collection:
I'm interested to see what others have to donate. Thank you for your support!

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- What does the future hold for Augusta's city golf course?
Virginia Beach Golf management wants to take over the Patch. Augusta city leaders are expected to vote on the deal next week.
Some are concerned about fees and want the city to keep running it. The hedges are cut and the grass is greener now that the city has taken back the Patch.
"I think the city is doing a good job. They're keeping the grass cut since the last owner," said golfer Ken Hedrick.
Hedrick is a regular around these fairways. He loves to play golf here.
"I come out to use the Patch probably about two or three times a week," he said.
Next week city leaders will decide whether to lease out the municipal golf course to Virginia Beach Golf Management. Some commissioners are not so sure.
"I'm not a rocket scientist, but I have enough sense to know we have enough people to do what we need to do. We can hold people accountable," said Commissioner Marion Williams.
"We need to keep the municipal golf course. We need to keep it under the control of the city," said Commissioner Bill Lockett.
The Patch didn't look this good a few months back. The city leased out the course to another company that commissioners say just walked out on the contract.
"We spent lots of money on that. We gave away too much of the city's resources in order for that gentleman to take over," Lockett said.
"I was out here when he had it. He had kind of let it go. The city is maintaining better than he did," Hedrick said.
"If somebody privately comes in, you'd think the fees are going to go up some. Hopefully, they don't go up a whole lot," Hedrick said.
"If they're running it and making money, why can't we can look at it and do the same thing?" Williams said.
The fate of the Patch will be decided by the batch of commissioners in just a few days.

Comments about Tachikara USA Tachikara "Fuzzie" Indoor Soccer Ball:
This ball so far is good. I use it in a Gym and it serves its purpose. Before we were using a volleyball and that was alright but the flight of the volleyball when kicked in the air was unpredictable. Buy this ball. If you use it only for its purpose (to kick and use indoors) you should be good

Toxoplasmosis During Pregnancy
Topic Overview
What is toxoplasmosis?
Toxoplasmosis is a common infection found in birds, animals, and people.
For most people, it doesn't cause serious health problems. But for a pregnant woman's growing baby, it can cause brain damage and vision loss. Still, the chance of a pregnant woman getting the infection and passing it on to her baby is low.
If you're pregnant or planning to have a baby and are worried that you may have toxoplasmosis, ask your doctor about getting tested. Routine testing is not recommended for most women.1 After you have had the infection, you're usually immune and can't get it again or pass it on to your baby.
But if you aren't immune, you'll want to take special care while you're pregnant. Avoid anything that may be infected, such as infected meat and infected cat feces.
What causes toxoplasmosis?
A parasite causes toxoplasmosis.
You can get the infection by:
- Eating infected meat that hasn't been fully cooked or frozen.
- Digging or gardening in sand or soil where an infected cat has left feces.
- Changing an infected cat's litter box. Cats infected with the parasite pass it on to others through their feces.
- Eating anything that has touched infected cat feces, including fruits and vegetables that haven't been washed. You can also get the infection by eating food that has touched tables and counters your cat has walked on.
What are the symptoms?
If you get toxoplasmosis, you may feel like you have the flu, or you may not feel sick at all. Most people who get the infection don't even know that they have it. Symptoms may include:
- Swollen glands.
- Muscle aches.
- Fatigue.
- Fever.
- Sore throat.
- Skin rash.
How is toxoplasmosis diagnosed?
A blood test can tell whether you have or have ever had toxoplasmosis. If you're worried about getting the infection, ask your doctor about having the test.
If you get the infection while you're pregnant, you'll need to have your baby tested. Your doctor can take some fluid from the sac that surrounds your baby and check for the infection.
How is it treated?
In healthy people, the infection often goes away on its own. But babies and people whose bodies can't fight infection well will need to take medicine to treat the infection and prevent serious health problems.
If you get toxoplasmosis while you're pregnant, you'll take medicine that treats the infection. This medicine is called spiramycin, an antibiotic.2 Spiramycin collects in the placenta, the site through which the Toxoplasma gondii parasites travel to the fetus.
This medicine may:
- Keep your baby from getting the infection.
- Lower your baby's chance of having serious health problems if he or she does get it.
Your baby has a better chance of being healthy at birth if you get treatment while you're pregnant.
If an amniocentesis shows that a fetus is infected, a combination of antibiotics lowers the risk of birth defects and may cure the infection. Sulfadiazine plus pyrimethamine (an antibiotic commonly used for malaria) is sometimes used with the antibiotic spiramycin.2
Most newborns who have been infected with toxoplasmosis have no symptoms at birth. If your baby has the infection, he or she will need to take antibiotics for a year after birth. This lowers the chance of having problems later on.
How can you prevent toxoplasmosis during pregnancy?
There are several things you can do to avoid getting toxoplasmosis:
- Wash your hands and anything you use to prepare raw meat, chicken, fish, fruits, or vegetables.
- If you have a cat or are caring for one, ask someone to clean or empty the litter box while you're pregnant. Wash tables and counters well if a cat may have walked on them. If you have to clean the cat's litter box, wear gloves and a face mask. Be sure to wash your hands after you're done.
- If you eat meat, make sure it has been fully cooked or frozen. Avoid dried meats, such as beef jerky.
- If you touch soil, be sure to wear gloves and wash your hands after you're done. Avoid contact with cat feces in your garden.
- Wash fruits and vegetables before you eat them.
- Avoid untreated drinking water. This is a concern when you are in the wilderness or when you travel to a country where drinking water is not treated.

- "This is Cain and Abel stuff, I'm telling you. Question is, which one of us is gonna be wandering the Earth with a mark on his head and which one's gonna be six feet under..."
- ―Derrick McReary.
Blood Brothers is the final mission given by Francis McReary in Grand Theft Auto IV. It is unlocked after completing Derrick's final mission, "Tunnel of Death" and by completing the Gerry McReary mission, "I Need Your Clothes, Your Boots, and Your Motorcycle."
Francis sends Niko a text message telling him to meet Francis in a curb in Algonquin. Francis pulls up in a Landstalker and explains that he wants Derrick dead for "the good of the community", when in reality, Derrick is intending to leak incriminating information about Francis to a reporter, jeopardizing his career in the police force. Francis is meeting Derrick in a park in Lancet to give Niko the opportunity to kill him. Later, Derrick contacts Niko to tell him about the meeting and voices his fear that Francis wants him dead and asks Niko to go to the meeting and kill Francis before he kills him. Niko must now choose between the 2 brothers, and for the second time, kill one or the other.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to the courtyard park in Lancet
- Use the window cleaning platform, on top of the scaffolding, to get to the roof top
- Take out Derrick or Francis when ready
- Get off the roof and evacuate the area
- The cops are onto you. Lose your wanted level (If the player takes too long to escape)
Drive to the park in Lancet. After Derrick's call, Niko will contact Francis again, who gives you instructions on where to take point. Climb the scaffolding and get to the roof via the window cleaning elevator. Run up to the yellow marker. Niko will get his sniper rifle ready, now is the chance to shoot. Choose between Francis or Derrick, and kill one. If you're going to kill Derrick, make sure to call Francis while on the roof, who offers to increase the hit payment from $10,000 to $20,000. Don't think about calling Derrick because he doesn't have much money, and he doesn't have his phone on (he said his phone ran out of battery).
Whoever you kill, a cutscene will show either Derrick waking away slowly or Francis telling everyone to clear the area and fakes sadness over his brother who had just been killed, depending on who died.
After the death of one of the McReary's, immediately leave the area to finish the mission. You won't get a wanted level though, so just get in a car and drive away. You will get a wanted level (three stars) if you don't leave quickly.
Video Walkthrough
After the Mission
Killing Francis McReary
If you kill Francis, you get no money, as opposed to the payment if Derrick is killed. However the next mission, Undertaker, will be much easier as the drive to the graveyard is not as long, although not by much. Also, it follows Niko's moral code to kill Francis instead of Derrick.
Killing Derrick McReary
If you kill Derrick, you will get a large sum of money ($10,000 or $20,000 if the player calls Francis while on the rooftop to bump up the hit payment). Niko then blackmails Francis, telling him that he will no longer work for him and intends to do the same thing Derrick had planned. After a while, Francis will text Niko, giving him the temporary ability to get rid of up to 3 stars on his wanted level. This can be used until you complete the story.
Which ever decision you choose, you still unlock the following mission.
- Francis McReary - If you side with Derrick.
- Derrick McReary - If you side with Francis.
- The mission may be named after the play "Blood Brothers" written by Willy Russell.
- If the player side with Francis, call Francis right before you are planning to snipe. He will offer a greater reward for Derrick's assassination.
- Do not fall of the building where the player will snipe from. If the player falls, the player will be killed, resulting in a mission faliure
- If Niko kills both targets after the cutscene occurs, the mission will fail
- If Niko doesn't have a Sniper Rifle, he will be instructed to collect one (with 20 bullets) from an Admiral parked near Jerkov's. If he happens to destroy the car before getting in, Niko will need to acquire a Sniper Rifle from somewhere else before continuing the mission.
- If Niko goes back down using the elevator (or a helicopter) before assassinating either targets, the mission will fail.
- Be sure not to take too long to kill one of the brothers, because doing so will fail the mission.
- Killing either Francis or Derrick not only changes the following mission, but also changes the dialogue between Niko and Gerald in I'll Take Her.
- If Francis is killed, the player can find his body at the bench, but if Derrick is killed, his body will disappear.
- If Francis is killed, his contact will remain on Niko's phone until the end of the game.
- Niko can use any weapon (except the Rocket Launcher) to assassinate Derrick, or Francis.

The Carbon-Free Home: 36 Remodeling Projects to Help Kick the Fossil-Fuel Habit
With an endearing mix of down-to-earth practical solutions and funky DIY projects, this book provides readers with much-needed information on how to renovate habits and home to move closer to a zero-carbon existence. The Hrens, respectively a carpenter and a photovoltaic installer living in Durham, N.C., give specific and technical advice, based on their own experience, on how to lower energy use within and outside the house, with 36 projects ranging from simple and inexpensive activities like sealing drafts, resetting the water heater thermostat and planting potatoes in a barrel to more heavy-duty and costly tasks such as installing a green roof or a solar hot-water heater and replacing a lawn with a permaculture garden. Some projects, such as building an outdoor cob oven—which the authors themselves describe as time-consuming with low energy savings—will be of little interest to any but devoted backyard hobbyists. Converting from a flush toilet to humanure, which involves lugging five-gallon buckets of human waste to a compost pile on a weekly basis, is even less likely to be adopted by the urban dwellers the Hrens hope to influence. But just about anyone will find something useful to do in this book, and the detailed, clear and enlightening chapter on understanding home energy use is, alone, almost worth the purchase price.

Engraving of famed Lavoisier experiment exploring the essence of gases. Source: Madame Lavoisier
A gas, often also referred to as a vapor, is one of the four major states of matter (after solid and liquid, and followed by plasma) that subsequently appear when a solid material is subjected to increasingly higher temperatures.[1]
At temperatures near absolute zero (– 273.15 °C or – 459.67 °F), substances exist as solds. As energy in the form of heat is added, the temperature of a solid (e.g., ice) increases and it will first melt to become a liquid (e.g., water), which will then boil or evaporate to become a gas (e.g., water vapor).
In some circumstances, a solid (e.g., dry ice)[2] when heated can directly turn into a gas: this is called sublimation.
As shown in the adjacent diagram, if the gas is further heated, its atoms or molecules can become (wholly or partially) ionized, turning the gas into a plasma which provides the upper temperature boundary for gases.
The word gas was apparently proposed by the 17th century Flemish chemist Jan Baptist Van Helmont,[3] as a phonetic spelling of his Dutch pronunciation of the Greek word chaos (the g in Dutch being pronounced like the English ch). Thus, Van Helmont was simply following the established usage by alchemists for the mythological "air" element,[4] first appearing during the 1530s in the works of Paracelsus.[5]
In a gas phase, the atoms or molecules constituting a substance basically move independently, with no forces keeping them together or pushing them apart. Their only interactions are rare and random collisions. The particles move in random directions, at high speed. Therefore, the gas phase is a completely disordered state. Following the second law of thermodynamics, gas particles will immediately diffuse to homogeneously fill any shape or volume of space that is made available to them.
The thermodynamic state of a gas is characterized by its volume, its temperature which is determined by the average velocity or kinetic energy of the molecules, and its pressure which measures the average force exerted by the molecules colliding against a surface. These variables are related by the fundamental gas laws, which state that the pressure in an ideal gas is proportional to its temperature and number of molecules, but inversely proportional to its volume.
Like liquids and plasmas, gases are fluids: they have the ability to flow and do not tend to return to their former configuration after deformation, although they do have viscosity. Unlike liquids, however, unconstrained gases do not occupy a fixed volume, but expand to fill whatever space they can occupy. The kinetic energy per molecule in a gas is the second greatest of the states of matter (after plasma). Because of this high kinetic energy, gas atoms and molecules tend to bounce off of any containing surface and off one another, the more powerfully as the kinetic energy is increased.
The words "gas" and "vapor"
There is no significant physical or chemical difference between a gas and a vapor. However, the words have slightly different connotations and there is often considerable overlap between the connotations, so precise distinctions are not necessary and probably not even possible.[6][7][8]
Almost all physics, chemistry and engineering textbooks refer to the states of matter as solid, liquid, gas and plasma. Rarely, if ever, do the states of matter include vapor rather than gas. The term vapor was used in ancient and medieval times, prior to more widespread use of the term gas.
One way in which the word vapor sometimes replaces the word gas is when the gaseous phase is in equilibrium with the corresponding liquid or solid. We call the pressure of the gas phase in equilibrium with the corresponding liquid phase vapor pressure. We connote the equilibrium of the gas and liquid phases of a substance as vapor-liquid equilibrium. But note that all of the connotations are defined as the equilibrium between a gas phase and a liquid phase.
The boiling point of a liquid may be defined as the temperature at which it changes its state of matter from a liquid to a gas, but we connote that phase change as vaporization. We also connote the heat required to change a liquid into a gas as the heat of vaporization.
Then there are definitions like: a vapor is the gaseous form of a liquid, the word vapor describes the gaseous state of a substance and water vapor is the most important greenhouse gas.
Despite these common connotations of the word vapor; there is no physical or chemical difference between a gas and a vapor and the words are often used interchangeably.
Elemental gases
Elemental gases many be monatomic, diatomic, or triatomic. For example:
- Monatomic elemental gases: Helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr) and xenon (Xe)
- Diatomic elemental gases: hydrogen (H2), oxygen (O2), nitrogen (N2), fluorine (F2), chlorine (Cl2), bromine (Br), and iodine (I2)
- Triatomic elemental gas: ozone (O3)
Some special usages of the word "gases"
- Ideal gases, in chemistry and physics.
Various hydrocarbon gases used for heating, lighting, and energy transmission:
- Natural gas, consisting of 80% or more methane.
- Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), including propane, butane and mixtures of propane and butane.
- Syngas: various synthetic fuel gases with names such as coal gas, water gas, illuminating gas, wood gas, producer gas, manufactured gas, town gas, and SNG (synthetic natural gas).
- Noble gases, all of which have extremely low reactivity. The six naturally occurring noble gases are helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), and radon (Rn).
- Chemical warfare gases: various poison gases used in warfare.

Retinitis pigmentosa is an eye disease in which there is damage to the retina. The retina is the layer of tissue at the back of the inner eye that converts light images to nerve signals and sends them to the brain.
Retinitis pigmentosa can run in families. The disorder can be caused by several genetic defects.
The cells controlling night vision (rods) are most likely to be affected. However, in some cases, retinal cone cells are damaged the most. The main sign of the disease is the presence of dark deposits in the retina.
The main risk factor is a family history of retinitis pigmentosa. It is a rare condition affecting about 1 in 4,000 people in the United States.
Symptoms often first appear in childhood. However, severe vision problems do not often develop before early adulthood.
Tests to evaluate the retina:
There is no effective treatment for this condition. Wearing sunglasses to protect the retina from ultraviolet light may help preserve vision.
Some studies suggest that treatment with antioxidants (such as high doses of vitamin A palmitate) may slow the disease. However, taking high doses of vitamin A can cause serious liver problems. The benefit of treatment has to be weighed against risks to the liver.
Clinical trials are in progress to assess new treatments for retinitis pigmentosa, including the use of DHA, which is an omega-3 fatty acid.
Other treatments, such as microchip implants into the retina that act like a microscopic video camera, are in the early stages of development. These treatments may be useful for treating blindness associated with RP and other serious eye conditions.
A vision specialist can help you adapt to vision loss. Make regular visits to an eye care specialist, who can detect cataracts or retinal swelling. Both of these problems can be treated.
The disorder will continue to progress slowly. Complete blindness is uncommon.
Peripheral and central loss of vision will occur over time.
People with retinitis pigmentosa often develop cataracts at an early age. They may also develop swelling of the retina (macular edema). Cataracts can be removed if they contribute to vision loss.
Many other conditions are similar to retinitis pigmentosa, including:
Call your health care provider if you have problems with night vision or you develop other symptoms of this disorder.
Genetic counseling and testing may help determine whether your children are at risk for this disease.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools rating is a simple tool for parents to compare schools based on test scores, student academic growth, and college readiness. It compares schools across the state, where the highest rated schools in the state are designated as "Above Average" and the lowest "Below Average." It is designed to be a starting point to help parents make baseline comparisons. We always advise parents to visit the school and consider other information on school performance and programs, as well as consider their child's and family's needs as part of the school selection process.
Rating Breakdown
|Test score rating
|The test score rating examines how students at this school performed on standardized tests compared with other schools in the state. Test scores are based on 2013-14 OAA/OGT results from the state of Ohio.
|Student growth rating
|The student growth rating measures whether students at this school are making academic progress over time. Specifically, the rating looks at how much progress individual students have made on reading and math assessments during the past year or more. This rating is based on 2013-14 value-added estimates from the state of Ohio.
|College readiness rating
|The college readiness rating combines this high school's graduation rates with data about college entrance exams, both of which are indicators of how well schools are preparing students for success in college and beyond. This rating is based on composite ACT scores and ACT participation (% of 11th graders taking the ACT) from 2012-13, and four-year adjusted graduation rates from 2011-12.
MethodologyView more details about the GreatSchools rating
State Rating
The Ohio Local Report Card evaluates the academic performance of Ohio's schools based on various components including student achievement, student progress, gap closing, graduation rate, K-3 literacy, and how well high school students are prepared for success. Schools receive a grade for various metrics within each component, where the highest rated schools in the state receive an A and the lowest an F. Beginning in August 2015, schools and districts will receive an overall grade, which combines the component grades.
