Mining affecting search for regional airport firefighters
An aviation firefighter says the mining boom has forced the industry to re-think how they recruit workers to regional Queensland airports.

Air Service and Aviation and Rescue Firefighting Service [ARFF] estimate around a quarter of their firefighters will likely retire over the next five years.
But ARFF Northern Region Manager Rod Evans says he hopes subtle changes to recruiting will make it easier to man airports in Cairns, Townsville and Mackay.
"It can be quite difficult at times in regional centres, especially with a fairly significant mining boom going on," he said.
"Of recent times we're widening the net and trying to become a much more diverse workforce and encourage women and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders to apply for the positions."
In addition to an 11-week training course, Mr Evans says firefighters are frequently tested and have ongoing training commitments they must fulfill.
"On average, every staff member would receive a training session for every shift they would work and that can be in any field to do with their job," he said.
"We have high fitness standards that we have to maintain. We're certainly not something that's tucked away in the air field and nobody ever sees or hears.
"They play a busy role and are heavily involved in emergency prevention."
ARFF is based at 21 locations across Australia with an average of 150 emergency call outs each week, varying from fuel spill clean ups, medical emergencies and air crashes.
40 staff are employed at the Cairns airport working on rotation 24 hours a day.

Hair color leaves hair shinier

Best Uses
Comments about L'Oreal Paris Preference Fade Defying Color & Shine System, Permanent, Dark Brown 4, 1 ea:
Easy to use, this color is long-lasting and easy to apply. Best of all, my hair is shinier afterwards and stays shiny as long as I follow the directions and use the conditioner included. My only complaint? The gloves are too weenie and my long nails often go through them. I keep a box of my own single-use gloves anyway, and wear them instead. It's a tiny trade-off for such natural-looking results and such healthy hair. I use it every 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 weeks.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Southern Thailand Empowerment and Participation (STEP) ProjectUNDP is working with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to enhance community empowerment and public participation in local governance processes in Southern Thailand, focusing on capacity development of community-based organizations and local government.
Anti-Corruption Efforts in ThailandIn order to engage the public about the moral consequences of inaction and to raise public awareness about reducing corruption in Thai society, a wider channel is needed. UNDP aims to reach the Thai public in more intimate settings and in an atmospheres that will invite active and collective participation.
Advancing Anti-Corruption Efforts in Thailand – A Multi-Disciplinary Approach (AAA) ProjectTo fight corruption requires a multi-disciplinary framework and strong contributions of the government, businesses, and citizens. The Advancing Anti-Corruption Efforts in Thailand – A Multi-Disciplinary Approach (AAA) project is an attempt to combine a number of activities at different levels of intervention.

Human Development Report 2014The 2014 Human Development Report "Sustaining Human Progress: Reducing Vulnerabilities and Building Resilience" - shows that overall global trends in human development are positive. Yet, people at all ages are also facing threats and challenges to their wellbeing, including by natural or human-induced disasters and crises.
2014 National Human Development Report ThailandOn the last day of 2015, the people of Thailand become part of the ASEAN Community. What impact this will have on their lives is difficult to foresee. The ASEAN Community is a new idea, unlike any other regional grouping. At present it consists of three plans, known as Blueprints. What the ASEAN Community will become and what impact it will have on human development, depends on how the member governments work to realize these plans.
Human Development Report 2013This report shows, the rise of the South is both the result of continual human development investments and achievements and an opportunity for still greater human progress for the world as a whole. Making that progress a reality will require informed and enlightened global and national policy-making, drawing on the policy lessons analysed in this report.
Promoting Renewable Energy in Mae Hong Son ProvinceThe Thai Government has made it a goal to get as much as 20 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2022. UNDP aims to help Mae Hong Son Province in Northern Thailand become the first province to be energy sufficient.
Promoting Energy Efficiency in Commercial Buildings (PEECB)Energy is a major concern in Thailand, as continued economic development demands more consumption and production of electricity. According to the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency, energy consumption in Thailand grew more than two-fold over the past 20 years and is expected to increase by almost 6 per cent, per year until 2021.
Catalyzing the Sustainability of Thailand's Protected Area SystemThailand's protected area system is experiencing growing fragmentation and there are concerns that the size of many officially designated national parks and wildlife sanctuaries are insufficient to sustain their flora and fauna.
Climate Change FinanceThe 11th National Economic and Social Development Plan (201-2016) sets a vision in moving Thailand towards a low carbon and climate resilient society as one of its six development pillars. While climate change mitigation is a challenge, adaptation to the impacts of a changing climate touches on issues of survival. This is especially pertinent to the poor and the marginal who are most at dependent on the natural resource base.

Skip to comments.Spain says terrorist plotted biggest blow
Posted on 10/20/2004 6:24:15 PM PDT by Nachum
MADRID, Spain - The suspected leader of a militant Muslim cell plotted to deal Spain the biggest blow of its history a suicide truck bomb laden with half a ton of explosives aimed at killing the countrys top judges investigating Islamic terror and destroying their case files, officials said Wednesday.
Police said they had intercepted hundreds of letters from suspected cell members in which they said they were willing to stage suicide attacks.
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.msn.com ...
Ah, the cost of cowardice. Now what do you think, Spaniards?
So much for withdrawing from Iraq. This is not about Iraq.
One can't help but wonder if they have caught them all...
Haven't you heard? J F'ng Kerry says terrorism is just a nuisance.
Cave in, you nitwits...Euroweenies, jeesh!
You mean hugh.
But, but, but I thought the Spaniards were the terrorists BEST friends?!
Surely not SPAIN?!
When in a fist fight you never let your guard down, because if you do, you will get punched. Or, if you get punched once and fall in cowardice, a boot to the head is soon to follow.
Unfortunately the people of Spain haven't learned that yet.
Oh, be series.
In other news Generalissimo Francisco Franco is
still dead.
a militant Muslim cell
Is this redundant PC-speak for a bunch of terrorists?
Zapatero will probably shut down the judges and their efforts now.
And they actually thought they were home free after withdrawing troops from Iraq??????
What? I thought Spain was off-limits or felt they were exempt from any further terrorist activity since Spain allowed the terrorists to influence their election/??
I thought Spain was the terrorist's "friend"?
Oh, uh, maybe once the terrorists know you are running scared they,,,I don't know,,,keep coming after you???
I do have sympathy for the victims of any terrorist attack,,but Spain enables these groups by giving in to pressure.......doesn't do any good now, does it?
.. and they did everything just right, too. How sad to discover that those pesky terrorists don't keep their word.
No!! Really?? I'll be damned!!! But we left Iraq!! We are anti-Bush, anti-american what happened?? This is not supposed to happen!! The leftist playbook says that if I go against american imperialism then you will not attack me!!...What was that? The "reconquista"? oh the expulsion of the Moors 512 years ago? Is that what you are harping about? Well that is something else...I um look, let me live in peace and you can have it all back! What was that? What did you say? You want me to live in dhimmitude?? (Behaviour governing the conduct of non-muslim in muslim lands under muslim rule)
America ayuda me por favor!!!
Ouch, that one spiraled down the chute of nightmares...(creepy)
So, Spaniards elected a socialist gov't to appease the terrorists and where did it get them? Nowhere! The terrorists are still plotting against them, even after they pulled out of Iraq. Let's learn a lesson, folks!
Find the subhuman Muslim pigsh!t filth, and KILL THEM!
So I guess Spain can run, but Spain cannot hide.
Hugh AND Series!!!!
A letter from someone saying they are willing to engage in suicide attacks should be punishable by swift and immediate execution regardless of whether or not they are in a cell.
Call me old fashioned but killing the enemy is the fastest route to peace.
I'll bet clinton's ears perked up at that one.
They used to say "Matamoros!" ("Kill the [Islamist invader] Moors!") in Spain. Today it's "No me matan, Moros!" ("Don't kill me, Moors").
The train bombings had nothing to do with Iraq.
Branded as cowards by the islamists, the Spanish now reap their whirlwind. Let this be a lesson to the rest.
Gosh! And I thought that because the Spanish populace had indirectly extended a hand of peace via electing the wussiest candidate on the board that peace was all but guaranteed for them.
Now they have a wuss in power and the terrorists just aren't playing fairly. Maybe they should call Little Johnny Edwards and have them served!
Ooh, ooh! I know, sanctions!
Against whom I have no idea, but sanctions against someone...
Sadly, that's probably what that pansy POS Zapatero will do...rather than fight the islamonazis.

Co B Waul's Tex Legion CSA
Mother was Jane M and he was born about 1838.
Milam Co., TX - Newspapers: Cameron Herald, 1 June 1882 [NOTE: The following is a very lengthy article and the following is
an abstract.]
Last Saturday morning when Judge Collard asked R J. Boykin, Jr., "if
he had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced upon
him," he rose and responded with the following:
I am asked by your Honor, "if I have anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced upon me." I feel that I have nothing to say
that would alter your Honor's determination to impose the sentence
in accordance with the verdict of the jury that has convicted me.
The terms, the rules, and the technicalities of the law have been
complied with.
I do here solemnly say that I have been convicted unjustly. I do say
that I never had any unfriendly feelings for William Broadnax before
the commencement of the unfortunate difficulty, which cost him his
life and me my liberty. I do say that I never intentionally provoked
the quarrel; nor had Broadnax the right to think so. And I do say
that after it begun, I abandoned it in good faith and would never
have been troubled, if he had not called me back by words, which I
would rather die than submit to without notice or reply. When I
retorted back to his vile and infamous epithets, then he threw the
glass, which I tried to stop, and when I believed he meant to kill
me if he could, I shot him.
I never put my hand in my hip pocket till after coming back when he
raised the glass. He started to raise a bottle at me before Mangum
asked me to stop the fuss and it was then that I said, "if you hit
me with that, I will shoot you."
I will swear before my Maker that I never heard Broadnax say "Go
away I want no fuss," or anything like it, and I don't believe he
said it. I will swear that I never said, "I don't like you, Bill
Steve Stewart, Jim Hefley and John Hefley may have heard rumors or
talk just after, that these things were said, for that agreed with
the general feeling and belief, and they may have come t believe
them, as they were friends of Broadnax and did not like me. But
I do say they were never said in that difficulty.
My father [no name given] was sick in bed at the time. My enemies
had it all their own way and my own friends were afraid to speak.
Falsehood got fastened at the start, and that side has convicted
me. Old Mr. Durand has come near telling the correct tale than
anybody else.
And I also here say that I never struck Broadnax with my hand, but
I jumped forward and tried to clutch his arm as he raised the glass.
I here say that I believe the jury that convicted me have acted
honestly and I have no ill will against them, but I do believe that
the common notion and the general prejudice, entered into their
deliberations, like the air they breath enters their bodies and
inclined them to believe the state's side in preference to mine.
The most honest men are unconsciously governed by their prejudices
and the most hones juries sometimes decide against the weight of
the evidence. I believe it would be almost as hard for the people
of Milam county to rid themselves of the idea of my guilt as it
would be for the Christian to deny his Bible.
I shall bear my punishment without complaint and fell more suffering
on account of the plain and sorrow I give those so near and dear to
me than on my own account.
My noble and devoted father [no name given] I can never repay but
will try in future to behave like a man and hope yet I may be a man
not altogether unworthy.
To Mr. Breeding, Judge Broaddus and above all, my faithful, zealous
and eloquent advocate, Mr. Homan, I give my heartfelt thanks. And in
the dreary and lonely solitude of my cell it will be the greatest
pleasure and solace to remember the few kind friends who have stood
by me in my trial and those who have persecuted me, amongst whom are
some I had vainly imagined would be my friends, I shall try to forget.
To your Honor on the bench and to the people of Milam county, I bid
a final farewell; and I hope that time may come when your Honor and
the people may realize that I "have been sinned against as well as
sinning." I am done.
The judge then proceeded to pronounce the sentence, which was 20-
years in the penitentiary.
At Cameron on Wednesday night, a dispute arose in a barroom between Robert Boykin, jr., a boy of 19 and William Broadnax, an inoffensive gentleman. Boykin called him a liar and other offensive epithets, Broadnax threw a tumbler at him, when he drew his revolver and shot Broadnax, killing him instantly. The boy made his escape. . . . Boykin, the boy who murdered W.H. Broadnax at Cameron, on the 24th inst. has been arrested and is now in jail at Cameron. A reward of $500 offered by private citizens secured Boykin's arrest.

Dr. Butterwick is very competent and caring. She listened to my concerns, answered my questions, and made sure I knew what I was getting into.

Associated Press
RICHLAND — Police in Richland say they used a stun gun on a man who was trying to rob a bank while armed with a wrench.
Capt. Mike Cobb says officers responded Monday to a report of a man waving a large wrench above his head and demanding money from tellers at a Chase Bank branch.
They found the man still inside the bank, zapped him and arrested him.
Cobb tells The Tri-City Herald that 30-year-old man was taken first to a hospital, then booked into the Benton County Jail for investigation of first-degree robbery.
No one in the bank was injured.

Kathy Cassidy
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I am looking for a new job, but if Westgate Blacklists me from jobs in the Hospitality Industry, which they do, I will never be able to find another job. Do Not feel too bad, the employees are treated equally as bad as the"guests". If WEstgate were to find out that I released this info. I would be sooooooo fired. Want to know the best piece of info? We recently had a "guest" pass away fo full blown AIDS. this guest had been in the waterpark, eaten at the Restaurant on-site,etc. None of the other guests or even the housekeeping staff that had to clean that room were informed. We that know the information were told to keep our da** mouths thehe** shut or we would be fired on the spot for violating company confidentiality.
We are promised excellent benefits, guaranteed 40 hours, maybe a few qualify because during the slow season, everyone is cut down to 3 days per week, at which point you are part-time and lose your benefits.
If you you look at the amenities, there are no horse back riding facilities, or no Golf Course. Westgate is a rip-off for "guests" and employees alike.

Following month another chg on credit card ... 39.95 ... called again ... they said I had not returned "trial" product within specified time ... again explained I had never ordered anything from them ... had never heard of them or their product before ... had no idea even of what the product was I had supposedly ordered, etc ... again they stated they had "proof" of my order and USPS delivery confirmation. I again cancelled my account and got a confirmation number this time.
Again called credit card to dispute additional chg ... they enterd my cancellation confirmation number into my case file and are submitting a complaint to Acaia-Pure ... also informed me they were "familiar" with Acaia-Pure but left it at that ... Easy to read between the lines on that comment!!! ... and told me Acaia-Pure usually responded to inquiries promptly with "sufficient" info to enforce chg and I'd probably end up liable to pay them.

In this link, Justin Taylor reports on an excellent gift that has been given to us: many previously unavailable Puritan works which have been digitized from the library of J.I. Packer and posted to the web through the The John Richard Allison Library in Vancouver (Regent College, Carey Theological College). Eighty authors in all. Though for now the texts can only be read online, the reader is a pleasure to use. In time we will integrate these texts into our catalog and indices. (The link directly to the texts is here.)
The Autumn/Winter Edition is Now Available!
The autumn/winter edition of The Digital Puritan is now available! This is a special edition which focuses on the Bible; it includes the following articles:
- The Authority and Utility of the Scriptures – Hugh Binning. The necessity of learning and practising what the Bible teaches is shown from 2 Timothy 3:16-17.
- The Duty of Searching the Scriptures – George Whitefield. In which Whitefield illustrates the two great messages of the Scripture (our fallen nature and the grace of God) and gives directions on how to make time spent in Scripture most profitable. Based on John 5:39.
- The Great Worth of Scripture Knowledge – Francis Roberts. Roberts gives seven helpful directions on how to better read and understand the Word of God.
- How the Word is to be Read and Heard – Thomas Boston. From Luke 8:18 ("Take heed therefore how ye hear"), Boston teaches how to prepare our hearts for receiving the Word, and how to apply it to our daily lives.
- How We May Read the Scriptures with Most Spiritual Profit – Thomas Watson. Watson's own collection of twenty-four directions on how to read the Scripture for greatest benefit.
- The Puritan Practice of Meditation – Drs. Joel R. Beeke and Mark Jones. To read the Scripture is not enough; it must permeate the mind and affect the heart. The authors show how the Puritans used meditation to this effect.
Kindle – iBooks – Nook – Google Play! – Kobo – Others (Lulu)
How We Plan to Integrate EEBO Texts
For those of you who were unaware, earlier this year Early English Books Online (EEBO) released thousands of documents in its Text Creation Partnership, Phase I (TCP-1). This makes hundreds of new Puritan documents available online, for free. A tremendous treasure chest of Puritan teaching indeed (Matthew 13:52)!
The problem is, the original scans have not been made available, and as you know, the texts are in rough shape. Our solution has been to link to the original texts, but we do not feel that making ePub and MOBI files of such hard-to-read texts is worthwhile. Thus, we are in the process of training a computer program to search for and replace common words with their modern equivalents. For example, the following text (from William Fenner's "Riches of Grace"):
Fourthly, hunger is humble, it is not choyce in its meate, if it cannot have pleasants and dainties, it will be con∣tent with Farmers food, yea any thing, Pigeons dung will be good food; so hee that truely desires grace, is of an humble heart, he can be content to welcome childrens crummes, and account it prefermentPage 11to sit with Christ his dogges: though with Pauls Widdow they wash the Saints feete; though with David they be doore-keepers in Gods house, yet so they may have grace, they care not though the whole world tram∣ple upon them, though they bee accounted the off-scowring of all things.
after applying the software, becomes:
Fourthly, hunger is humble, it is not choice in its meat, if it cannot have pleasants and dainties, it will be content with Farmers food, yea anything, Pigeons dung will be good food; so he that truly desires grace, is of an humble heart, he can be content to welcome childrens crumbs, and account it preferment to sit with Christ his dogs: though with Paul's Widow they wash the Saints feet; though with David they be door-keepers in God's house, yet so they may have grace, they care not though the whole world trample upon them, though they be accounted the off-scouring of all things.
The result is obviously not perfect, but I believe it is much more readable. The process of converting these texts is time-consuming, yet worthwhile. Look for texts to be added continually and gradually to the Digital Puritan library in the coming months (and years).
The Spring/Summer Edition is Out!
The spring/summer 2015 edition of The Digital Puritan is now available through various e-tailers. This edition contains the following titles, which have been gently modernised, and which have hundreds of embedded scripture references and explanatory footnotes:
- Profiting from the Puritans for Devotional Reading – Joel Beeke
- Dead Preaching is Often the Cause of a People's Deadness – William Fenner
- A Discourse on Thankfulness – Thomas Goodwin
- Perilous Times in the Last Days – Thomas Boston
- A Wedding Sermon – Thomas Taylor
It is available now for the Kindle, Nook, and Kobo. It is also available through the Google Play store, Apple iBookstore, and through Lulu (most other e-readers).
The Winter Edition is Out!
The winter 2014-2015 edition of The Digital Puritan is now available through various e-tailers. This edition contains the following titles, which have been gently modernised, and which have hundreds of embedded scripture references and explanatory footnotes:
- Anger Not to Be Sinfully Indulged – Thomas Boston
- Hope and Comfort Usually Follow Genuine Humiliation and Repentance – Jonathan Edwards
- The Brevity of Life—A Call to Improve It – Andrew Gray
- The Character of a Complete Evangelical Pastor, Drawn by Christ – John Flavel
- To Be Light in a Dark Place is Commendable – Christopher Love.
It is available now for the Kindle, Nook, and Kobo. Also through Google Play (Android devices), Apple's iBookstore (iOS devices), and through the Lulu store (most other e-readers).

Rogue 'beds in sheds' landlords warned
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Legal, Local Government
Rogue 'beds in sheds' landlords warned
A London borough's rogue landlords have been warned to get their house in order by the local authority.
Waltham Forest Council says it is engaged in a "relentless pursuit" of landlords who construct 'bed in sheds'.
The so-called 'narrowest house in Britain' - a plywood home consructed illegally in a terraced row in a Waltham Forest street - has now been destroyed.
Mohammed Akhlaq, 53, of Zim Properties was issued with an Enforcement Notice by the council, ordering him to remove the bathroom, kitchen and internal portioning and restore the former garage to its original condition.
Akhlaq's attempted appeal proved futile, with the inspector not only upholding the Enforcement Notice, but also ordering the landlord to contribute towards the council's costs.
Meanwhile, landlord Peter Anuba, of Billet Road, is currently trying to defy the council and the planning inspectorate in relation to a 'bed in shed' structure in Cecil Road.
Anuba was issued with an Enforcement Notice last year to have the outbuilding removed, but appealed to the national planning inspectorate. Again the inspectorate agreed with the council's decision and the appeal was dismissed, as was Anuba's plea to keep the outbuilding as a gym/store.
Councillor Clyde Loakes said: "If this landlord wants to take the matter through the courts then we are happy to fight our corner. However, I would warn him that last year we had our contractors demolish a property for a landlord who sought to ignore our enforcement action, so he should be under no illusions – we will take this all the way until his bed in shed structure is reduced to rubble."

Red Crossbills inhabit southern taiga forests from Alaska to Newfoundland, and montane coniferous forests south to Georgia in the Appalachians, Arizona, New Mexico, northern Mexico, and the Sierra Nevada of California. Wandering birds can reach the southern states, where breeding has occurred. The species also occurs in the pine forests of Central America.
The Red Crossbill shows considerable morphological and vocal variation, and classification of the species into races has been as diverse as the many authors involved. Recent progress in the classification of this diversity is the identification of eight discrete types of Flight Calls north of the Mexican border, calls that may play a major role in maintaining reproductive isolation among the groups. These call types may represent discrete species; they are, at least, nomadic populations that are usually reproductively isolated from all other crossbills.
The nomadic movements characteristic of most of these forms are driven by the variable nature of cone production over most of North America. Individual Red Crossbills of various call types may be found far from their usual haunts, sometimes feeding on atypical food sources.
Morphological variation in bill and body size appears to be part of a suite of adaptations for different species and sizes of cones in most forms of this crossbill.
Red Crossbills breed mainly when a group finds an adequate mature cone crop of the appropriate type. In some places more than two call types may breed simultaneously, with little interbreeding, and they may breed repeatedly until food is depleted below a level of profitable foraging. Even though crossbills are often said to breed in all months of the year, a recent study of one call type shows that breeding ceases, even in the presence of a bumper crop, when autumn day length becomes shorter than about 12 hours. Then, after the annual molt, breeding can resume in late December or January at day lengths of 10.5 hours.

My wordpress blog has been running for some years without problems so why instead of seeing my blog page am I seeing this:
and why intead of index.php is it being diverted to /wp-admin/install.php
I thought the site had been hacked but now I am not so sure. All the files appear to be present and none appear to have been changed. Any help would be most appreciated.
Sorry, can't tell which version of WP I am using, but it is reasonably recent.

BRYAN, Texas — A team of Texas A&M researchers is using new technology to uncover the history of the Alamo and help preserve it for future generations.
A&M architecture professor Robert Warden, director of the university's Center for Heritage Conservation, is leading a team of graduate students from A&M, Texas A&M University at Kingsville, the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Texas at San Antonio.
The team is creating the first digital models of the Alamo that will capture the Texas landmark at different points in its history — in 1836 for the Battle of the Alamo; in 1885, when the city of San Antonio became the site's custodian; and in 1961, when drawings of the site were created by the Historic American Building Survey.
The 2-D and 3-D models will be used not only to track how the structure has changed throughout the years, but also to provide insight into how environmental factors have weathered the Alamo and what measures can be taken to protect it.
"It's never been done before," said the Alamo's conservator, Pam Rosser. "Once this is complete, it will create lots of information that can be used for historical purposes, but also for maintenance purposes. We can compare everything now with older photos and compare how the building has aged over time and what we need to do to prolong the longevity of the building."
Carolina Marique, Texas A&M Ph.D. student in architecture, has made two trips to the Alamo to use 3-D lasers to scan the interior and exterior of two remaining pieces of the Alamo — the chapel and the long barracks.
"With digital models, we are able to gather very, very detailed info on each of the sections and the walls," Marique said. "We can zoom in on digital images and keep track of things."
Their efforts will help track changes made to the building over the decades, such as how the U.S. Army converted a window into a door.
Marique described the analysis as a sort of hunt through history.
"We're able to detect very fine layers of history," Marique said. "We're getting into really fine detailing to try and graph this maybe missing history."
Rosser said she was grateful for the assistance.
"I'm the only conservator here at the Alamo, and I can't afford to hire people to help me or buy the wonderful equipment A&M has," Rosser said. "A&M is supplying Texas history with valuable pieces of information of the Alamo and the long barracks."
