![]() Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority became the first African American sorority to nationally incorporate on January 29, 1913. Quander set up a committee that worked to incorporate ΑΚΑ as a perpetual entity. In this way, the women voted to reorganize, and allowed others to join and this group later became the twenty two founders of Delta Sigma Theta. As a result, some of the undergraduate women who wanted to make changes to the name, symbols and colors of the organization held a meeting the next month with other collegiate women desiring to become members of a negro sorority voted to continued with the changes. That poll found that the vast majority did not favor the change. Quander advised the group that they had no right legally or ethically to make such changes and advised them to hold a poll of the entirety of the sorority. While the entire body of the organization was invited to be a part of the changes, Quander opposed the changes. In this meeting the group proposed to change the name, colors and symbols of the sorority. In October, former President Nellie Quander received an invitation to attend a meeting of the sorority. By the end of the 1911–12 school year, there were more than 40 members of the sorority at Howard. Incorporation: 1912–1913 Ī 1921 Certificate of Membership from the Gamma Chapter at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign Īlpha Kappa Alpha continued to grow at Howard. Some examples of service demonstrated before 1912 include helping create the NAACP, dc chapter, feeding the hungry and clothing the poor. The sorority continued many service efforts that continue today. On May 25, 1909, Alpha Kappa Alpha held its first "Ivy Day," a celebration that included planting ivy at Miner Hall. The first initiation was held in a wing of Miner Hall on Howard University on February 11, 1909. The students began their "official" community service efforts on May 1, 1908, with the planting of ivy and a tree on the campus of Howard University. The Sorority developed a beautiful tradition of ritualic services and intimate social affairs for its members, cultural and civic presentations for the general public and varied academic, service and spiritual life for the university. In its first few months of life, Alpha Kappa Alpha cast the mold for its pattern of leadership in the activities of the campus. ![]() On February 21, 1908, the 7 sophomores invited to continue the legacy of the sorority were admitted without initiation and endowed with found status. Wednesday, January 15, 1908, the 9 coeds held the first official bi-weekly meetings in Miner Hall. Informal sessions continued, with regular bi-weekly meetings beginning after the holiday. The Beta chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity made its presence known on December 20, 1907, but it was not actually given permission to exist at Howard until the spring of 1908. Many have given the credit of this accolade to the Beta chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha however the Alpha chapter of AKA was accepted in November 1907. This approval made the sorority the first member of the divine nine to be created at an historically black college or university. Hedgeman and Marie Woolfolk gave a presentation the administration to secure approval, which was granted immediately. The women returned to Howard in the Fall of 1907 to work on the creation of the sorority. To implement her idea, Hedgemon began recruiting interested classmates during the spring of 1907 and she and the ladies used the summer of 1907 to research and explore options for their new organization. Robinson, encouraged Hedgemon by relating her own observances of sorority life at the Women's College at Brown University. In the spring of 1907, Ethel Hedgemon led efforts to create a sisterhood at Howard University. Miner Hall was the site of Alpha Kappa Alpha's founding on January 15, 1908. The current International President is Danette Anthony Reed, and the sorority's document and pictorial archives are located at Moorland-Spingarn Research Center. Īlpha Kappa Alpha is part of the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC). Women may join through undergraduate chapters at a college or university, or they may be invited to join by a graduate chapter after acquiring an undergraduate or advanced college degree. The sorority is one of the nation's largest Greek-letter organizations, having had more than 300,000 members in 1,024 chapters in the United States and several other countries. Alpha Kappa Alpha was incorporated on January 29, 1913. Forming a sorority broke barriers for African-American women in areas where they had little power or authority due to a lack of opportunities for minorities and women in the early 20th century. ![]() The sorority was founded on January 15, 1908, at the historically black Howard University in Washington, D.C., by a group of sixteen students led by Ethel Hedgeman Lyle.

For example, very young children using books in English learn that they are read from front to back, from the left of the page to the right, and from the top of the page to the bottom. Through early exposure to books, children begin to learn about the conventions of reading in their own language. By hearing new words in the context of a story and having them explained by an adult, children’s word comprehension will grow, and they will eventually incorporate new words into their spoken vocabularies. The Napping House, for example, contains many descriptive words related to napping, such as slumbering, snoozing, and dozing, which adults may rarely use in a conversation with a child. Books also use words that are generally absent from day-to-day speech. Storybooks often use words in ways that are different from how we use those same words in everyday conversation. Sharing books will expand your very young child’s growing vocabulary. Although we might find constantly answering the question, “What say?” exhausting, children’s recognition that pictures and print convey meaning is an important step in emerging literacy that we need to support by responding to their inquiries (Neuman, Copple, & Bredekamp 2000). Understanding that pictures are symbols of real things is a first step toward understanding that print also represents ideas of items in the real world.Ĭhildren may begin to notice print in addition to pictures between 15 and 20 months, and by 32 months a child may move a finger or her whole hand across a line of print and verbalize her memory of what the text says (Schickedanz 1999). Another child, age 17 months, enjoying the book Goodnight Moon with his dad, may murmur, “Hush,” when his dad turns to the page about a quiet old lady who was whispering, “Hush” (Schickedanz 1999). She may tell you about the connection she is making by looking at the picture and pointing to a nearby cup. For example, at around 12 months, an infant seems to understand that the cup in a picture on the page represents a cup like the one she drinks from every day. Within their first 18 months, most infants who have explored and shared books with adults show an understanding that pictures symbolize things in the real world, an understanding that is uniquely human (Barton & Brophy-Herb 2006). ![]() Understanding pictures and print as symbols

Wagner’s claims to have captured ground without help from the regular army have also spurred friction with senior military leadership. Prigozhin has previously accused the Russian military of attempting to “steal” victories from Wagner, a sign of his rising clout and the potential for dangerous rifts in Moscow. Bakhmut would have been taken before the New Year, if not for our monstrous military bureaucracy.”Īs with anything to do with the internal workings of the Kremlin, getting a definitive idea of anything going on behind the scenes is a difficult task, but the fact that the spat between Moscow and Wagner is so public makes it impossible to deny that something is going on. It’s a significant task,” he said, adding: “Progress is not going as fast as we would like. “To take Bakhmut you have to cut all supply routes. On Thursday, Prigozhin slammed Moscow’s “monstrous bureaucracy” for slowing military gains. Obviously the developing situation around Bakhmut does not look good for Prigozhin and his mercenary fighters, and he is now looking to shift the blame elsewhere. So Russia’s lack of success is Wagner’s fault? 15-16, he said his men might, theoretically, be able to capture Bakhmut in “March or April,” but only if all Russian forces in sector successfully surrounded the city first and cut off all supply. Then, in a series of social media posts fired off overnight Feb. artillery fire is intensifying every day.” “Every day between 300 to 500 fresh fighters enter Bakhmut from all directions. The enemy is becoming more active in all sectors, and is pulling in more and more new reserves. Yet this has not happened, and according to Prigozhin himself, the situation in Bakhmut is swinging in Ukraine’s favor.Įarlier this week, he said: “The conditions for encircling the enemy in the northern regions do not exist. Subsequent news reports from both sides suggested that Bakhmut would soon be surrounded by Wagner fighters and Ukrainian forces inside wiped out. In early February Wagner Group mercenaries, many of them convicts reportedly recruited by Prigozhin personally, forced Ukrainian troops to evacuate the adjacent salt-mining town of Soledar. 24, the first anniversary of what it terms its “special military operation” in Ukraine. Russia has been trying to encircle and capture the battered industrial city ahead of Feb. Taking Bakhmut would be a major win for Moscow, though analysts say its capture would be mainly symbolic as the town holds little strategic value. But the fierce fighting for the city is now the longest-running battle of Russia’s campaign and Moscow’s key military objective. Last year Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed to have annexed the entire Donetsk region, including Bakhmut and even bigger cities farther west. In a series of Telegram posts this week, Wagner Chief Yevgeny Prigozhin admitted his forces were not likely to take the city of Bakhmut anytime soon in the face of increasing Ukrainian resistance. The ongoing power tussle between the Kremlin and its conventional armed forces and the mercenary group Wagner continues to burst into the open, with a lack of Russian success in Bakhmut sparking a blame game of sorts played out on social media. ![]() ![]() For advanced editing, use Design Space on an iOS or Android device, Mac or Windows computer. ![]() Note: The Contour function is not available in the Cricut Basics iOS App. Tip: If you wish to restore a hidden contour, repeat the process and click on the hidden cut lines to restore them.

![]() ![]() In my case however, there was not enough room, so I had to design a new one. ![]() A first option is to modify the existing enclosure, this is viable if it is big enough to accommodate a SSR, LCD etc. And this is how you can reflow our PCBs quickly and easily.For the case we have two options, depending on your hotplate. Earlier It was taking quite some time to cool down the iron so I decided to add a small DC fan which blows air to speed up the cooling process. When the countdown finished the relay turned off. In the reflow stage If the temperature exceeds the set value it will cut off the power by turning off the relay and turn it back on when the temperature goes below the set value. Once it reaches the set temperature, it enters the reflow stage and the timer starts counting down. Here the temperature of the iron increases gradually. We can also adjust the values while it’s operational if we need to.Īfter setting all the values we press the start button and the relay activates and begins the preheat stage. The predefined values can be modified in the code if required. I use a timer to keep track of the reflow timing. And everything cools down at the end, when the reflow process is over.When the temperature reaches that value the reflow process begins with a set temperature for a brief amount of time(about 180-200☌). ![]() First one is the preheat where the whole board rises towards a certain temperature(about 120-150☌).There are 3 stages of this reflow soldering process. The working principle of this setup is pretty simple, after powering it up we have some basic settings in the display which we can adjust according to our needs. So I added the thermocouple inside the iron to read the temperature of the hotplate. Well, with my previous setup I had a couple of issues, like I couldn’t know the temperature of the iron and I pretty much had to rely on the built in thermostat which isn’t that accurate. A MAX6675 module with K type thermocouple to read the temperature. ![]() A 5v power supply for the arduino - I am using this SMPS type because it’s easier to connect wires in the screw terminals.A display - I am using a touch shield for arduino which gives it a nice looking interface.An arduino or any other microcontroller.A dry iron - I am using this 600w iron I have in my house but you can use any old electric iron.Lets see which are the components we need, Then we put the PCB in the hotplate which showly heated up the PCB from the bottom upto a point when the solder paste melts and joins the component to the PCB. We apply solder paste on the PCB pads and put the component on it. but it gets really challenging sometimes when it comes to solder SMD parts because they are so tiny so hand soldering them is a bit difficult. You see most of us generally use soldering iron to solder electronics components on a PCB. Now what reflow soldering actually does and why do we need it in the first place? My goal is to basically modify a normal iron and add temperature control to it so that it acts as a reflow hotplate. But suddenly it stopped working and then I decided to upgrade it. Over the recent years I have been using a regular clothing Iron, without any modification as a hotplate to solder SMT components and it used to work great. ![]() |
