649th engineer battalion

From the Introduction: Activitated 15 December 1941 at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, the 649th Engineer Battalion was assigned to the First Army and placed under the technical direction of the Chief of Engineers. In an Army the size of ours the activation of a battalion causes only the slightest ripple on the pool of available manpower. It\u27s just another battalion with a number and that\u27s as far as it goes. But this book isn\u27t about numbers; you can find numbers in an arithmetic book. This is the story of a group of men and we\u27d like to tell you from whence they came. At its inception, the battalion comprised three companies, viz: Headquarters and Service, including Photomapping; B, the Reproduction company; A, the Survey company. Today H. & S. company includes Survey, not Photomapping, and Photomapping is now A company. We would only confuse you if we were to tell you this, so we won\u27t say anything more about it. We\u27ll keep it simple and talk about the origin of the three companies as originally formed. The official record says: Companies A and E of the inactivated 44th Engineer General Service Regiment provided the enlisted personnel for the Headquarters and Service (Photomapping) and B (Reproduction) companies, respectively. That\u27s a fair statement and one easy to comprehend. H. & S. company sprang from A company of the old 44th and B company came from E company of that outfit. Simple, what? Let\u27s go a little further into that record. We quote: A thirty-nine man enlisted cadre supplied by the 29th Engineer .Topographic Battalion formed the technical nucleus for the Reproduction company. Ah, there you are. Thought the War Department was a bit daffy, didn\u27t you? Well, some of us came from a Topo outfit and it\u27s a darn good thing we did. Thirty-nine men from the 29th. Brother, those boys earned their dough. Company A (Survey), (we\u27re in the record again), was inherited in its entirety from the inactivated company D of the 30th Engineer Topographic Battalion. Now we\u27re really getting down to cases. There\u27s a whole company that was in the work before they came to the 649th. We were not all basics, you see. We had a fair chance, from the beginning, to become an outstanding unit in the service of our country. Unfortunately; the record didn\u27t cover the origin of all the officers. It merely says: The assignment of the commanding and commissioned officers was marked by the prevalence of officers from the 30th Engineer Topographic Battalion. There\u27s the 30th again. They\u27ll just have to bask in our reflected glory for they did furnish the nucleus of an outfit that stayed overseas. Though the majority of us came from New York, New Jersey or Pennsylvania, all sections of the country are represented in our ranks, and practically all the states. What better beginning can a battalion in this man\u27s army have?https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/ww_reg_his/1094/thumbnail.jp

Lattice fence and hedge barriers around an apiary increase honey bee flight height and decrease stings to people nearby

Urban beekeeping is becoming more popular in the UK. One of the challenges faced by urban beekeepers is finding a suitable apiary location. Honey bees are often perceived as a nuisance, mainly due to their stinging behaviour. Here, we experimentally test the assumption that barriers around an apiary such as walls or fences, force the bees to fly above human height, thereby reducing collisions with people and, consequently, stinging. The experiment was conducted in two apiaries using two common types of barrier: a lattice fence (trellis) and hedge. Barriers were 2 m high, which is taller than > 99% of humans and is also the maximum height allowed by UK planning regulations for garden fences or walls. We found that barriers were effective at both raising the mean honey bee flight height and reducing stinging. However, the effects were only seen when the barrier had been in place for a few days, not immediately after the barrier was put in place. Although this raises interesting questions regarding honey bee navigation and memory, it is not a problem for beekeepers, as any barrier placed around an apiary will be permanent. The effect of the barriers on raising bee flight height to a mean of c. 2.2-2.5 m was somewhat weak and inconsistent, probably because the bees flew high, mean of c. 1.6-2.0 m, even in the absence of a barrier. As barriers can also reduce wind exposure, improve security and are inexpensive, we recommend their use around urban apiaries in places such as private gardens or allotments, where nuisance to humans is likely to be a problem

System of accounts for cotton warehouses

The warehouse receives cotton for the account of another party, provides the owner with a proper place for conserving his product, and gives its receipt as evidence that the cotton has been stored. Upon the integrity and financial standing of the warehouse which issues this receipt depends the value of the receipt, and it should be the desire and aim of every warehouseman to give his receipt its utmost value. The efficiency of a cotton warehouse depends in a very large degree upon its methods of keeping accounts and records of its transactions. The general use of a simple, concise system of accounts, comprehensive enough to fill the needs of the larger as well as of the small warehouse, would be a step toward the adoption of a standardized system of cotton-warehouse accounting
