Solar Weathervane ? Our Solar Airplane Weathervane adds a n ... Read more

Solar Weathervane ? Our Solar Airplane Weathervane adds a new dimension to weathervane use. With this Solar Airplane Weathervane you can see the wind direction during the day, but now, you can also see the wind direction at night! Here?s how it works. The solar powered airplane weathervane has solar cells on each wing which charges the interior battery during the day. At night, the airplane has lights illuminated on the wing tips, nose, and the passenger windows in the fuselage so you can see the direction of the plane pointed into the wind. With a full charge, the lights will stay on for about 5 hours. The shape of the Solar Airplane Weathervane is modeled after the Lockheed Super Constellation also known as the Connie. The Connie aircraft is distinguished by a triple-tail design and dolphin-shaped fuselage. It is probably most well known for providing first class service for all in the early days of commercial aviation earning the name ?Queen of the Skies.? It was also the official presidential aircraft for President Eisenhower. Nancy?s Notes: When I first saw the photo of this product I thought it looked really nice. When we received our sample I learned that the plane, directionals etc. were composed of plastic and I was concerned about the weathervane standing up to the elements. Nevertheless, it was installed on top of our garage. The first time my husband saw the airplane at night with the lights on he was so impressed he said that Tailwinds absolutely had to sell this weathervane. Still wanting to know more about its durability, the manufacturer was contacted and the company advised that they had had their Solar Airplane Weathervane outside for 2-years in the wind, rain and snow and it had proven to withstand the weather without problems. I think this is a fun, unique weathervane. The airplane is silver-grey, measuring about 19" long with about a 21 ¼" wingspan and the propellers turn with a breeze. The weathervane stands about 28" high with 3 ¼" high directionals. Assembly is fairly easy with enclosed directions. Screws will be needed for final mounting installation. The Solar Airplane Weathervane has a one year manufacturer?s warranty and the solar cells should last about 5-years. Shipping weight is calculated at 8 lbs.

A great deal has been written on how children learn to speak, but development of language comprehension has been a relatively neglected topic. This book is unique in integrating research in language acquisition, psycholinguistics and neuropsychology to give a comprehensive picture of the process we call "comprehension", right from the reception of an acoustic stimulus at the ear, up to the point where we interpret the message the speaker intended to convey by the utterance. A major theme of the book is that "comprehension" is not a unitary skill: to understand spoken language, one needs the ability to classify incoming speech sounds, to relate them to a "mental lexicon", to interpret the propositions encoded by word order and grammatical inflections, and to use information from the environmental and social context to select, from a wide range of possible interpretations, the one that was intended by the speaker. Furthermore, although neuropsychological and experimental research on adult comprehension can provide useful concepts and methods for assessing comprehension, they should be applied with caution, because a sequential, bottom-up information processing model of comprehension is ill-suited to the developmental context.The emphasis of the book is on children with specific language impairments, but normal development is also given extensive coverage. The focus is on research and theory, rather than practical matters of assessment and intervention. Nevertheless, while this book is not intended as a clinical guide to assessment, it does aim to provide a theoretical framework that can help clinicians develop a clearer understanding of what comprehension involves, and how different types of difficulty may be pinpointed.

With Uncommon Illustrations and Stories, youth workers can find relevant stories that will grab and hold the attention of their audience. From heartfelt to hilarious, these intriguing stories will get youth thinking, and later discussing what they learned. They won’t soon forget the Wright brothers and their father who refused to believe man would fly, Helen Keller’s teacher who lived in a mental institution as a young girl, the difficulty of swimming from California to Hawaii and the man who flew 10,000 feet in the air above Los Angeles in a lawn chair.

Model Helicopter ? This R-22 Model Helicopter is a scale model of the original Robinson R-22 helicopter. The R-22 Model Helicopter is crafted from molded resin and is an impressive aviation gift. The Robinson R-22 model helicopter arrives fully assembled and includes a display stand (may vary from the one shown). Model scale is 1/24, with about a 14" span and 12 ½" length. The first R-22 helicopter was designed about 1973 by Frank Robinson which is now the Robinson Helicopter Company. It is a small, light, two-seat helicopter which is probably the most popular light helicopter today. It is used primarily as a rotorcraft trainer and for livestock management on large ranches in the U.S. and Australia. The flight controls are very sensitive and it is said that a student that masters the R-22 does not have a problem in adapting to flight in heavier helicopters. This authentic, extraordinary replica of the original aircraft has been faithfully reproduced. Each model is meticulously shaped, hand sanded and painted following exact blueprint details of the original aircraft. The result is a handsome, aircraft sculpture to be admired and enjoyed. Shipping weight is calculated at 6 lbs. per model ordered. Send This Page To A Friend Minimize
