High altitude cooking is the opposite of pressure cooking in that the boiling point of water will be lower at higher altitudes due to the decreased air pressure. This lower temperature results in a lowered boiling point of water and may require an increase in cooking times or temperature and alterations of recipe ingredients. For home cooking, this effect becomes relevant at altitudes above approximately 2000 feet (600 meters). At that altitude, water boils at approximately 208oF (98oC) and adjustments sometimes need to be made to compensate for the reduced air pressure/water boiling point.

Boiling

This method of cooking at high altitude can be compensated for by increasing cooking times.

Baking

Breads and cakes will usually require additional adjustments such as increased dry ingredients and higher oven temperature at elevations above approximately 3500 feet (1000 meters).

Methods used at high altitudes

From pressure cooking: A pressure cooker is often used by mountain climbers to compensate for the low atmospheric pressure at a very high altitude. Under these circumstances water boils at temperatures significantly below 100 and without the use of a pressure cooker, may leave boiled foods undercooked, as described in Charles Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle:

At the place where we slept water necessarily boiled, from the diminished pressure of the atmosphere, at a lower temperature than it does in a less lofty country; the case being the converse of that of a Papin's digester. Hence the potatoes, after remaining for some hours in the boiling water, were nearly as hard as ever. The pot was left on the fire all night, and next morning it was boiled again, but yet the potatoes were not cooked. I found out this, by overhearing my two companions discussing the cause, they had come to the simple conclusion, "that the cursed pot [which was a new one] did not choose to boil potatoes."

A grinder containing a small amount of herbs

The fine screen of a Space Case which will hold the larger pieces of herb. The bottom compartment is visible which is where the pollen will be collected.

A herb grinder (also called a "spice grinder", or just a "grinder") is a cylindrical contraption with two halves (top and bottom) that separate and have sharp teeth or pegs aligned in such a way that when both halves are turned, material placed inside is effectively shredded.

Some grinders also have two or three compartments instead of just one, with a fine screen separating the bottom compartment from the top. This allows fine particles such as pollen to pass through, but blocks larger plant material.

Grinders called "four-stages" are also popular. "Four-stages" are similar to regular grinders, but include a second fine screen to further separate "pollen" or other tiny plant matter.

There are also 5 stages grinders by many manufacturers now, and most are using an anodized process to coat the raw material they are made from.

Herb grinders are manufactured with the intent as culinary kitchen tools often used to prepare spices and cooking herbs for culinary preparation. It is also used to prepare tobacco, traditional herbs and Cannabis for smoking. A pollen-catching grinder will collect a more potent form of the medicinal plant known as kief, or pollen from traditional plants and herbs.

And Rickys top tip is: Don't Tap it together!

Norsk Hydro industry park on Her?ya

Her?ya is a peninsula in the municipality of Porsgrunn. It is located between the fjords of Frierfjord to the west and Gunneklevfjord to the east, at the mouth of Telemarksvassdraget, The name stems from the word hare because the large number of these that is said to have inhabited the previous island (?ya).

The peninsula features a large industrial park that was founded in 1928 and contains major facilities of Norsk Hydro, Yara, and REC (ScanWafer subsidiary). The area is served by the railway line Bratsbergbanen. 2,700 people work on the 1.5 km2 peninsula that has about 30 companies, most of which are subsidiaries of Norsk Hydro, including Hydro's research park with 350 employees. A populated area south of the peninsula itself which was initially housing for the Hydro employees, is also considered part of Her?ya as a suburb of the city of Porsgrunn.

Her?ya also has a local football club, participating in the Norwegian 6th division. The club stadium, Her?ya Stadion, has a capacity in surplus of 2000.

History

Originally an island that was used for agriculture, in 1928 Norsk Hydro decided to locate a new artificial fertilizer factory there, Hydro Porsgrunn, and in just 16 months both this factory and a shipping port for Norwegian saltpeter (calcium nitrate) were built. In the process, the narrow sound between the island and the mainland was mostly filled up, thus transforming the island to a peninsula. The reason Hydro wanted to establish itself in the Grenland region was the proximity to limestone, one of the necessary components in the fertilizer, Calcium nitrate. Norsk Hydro had previously had to build its fertilizer plants in Notodden (in 1907) and Rjukan (in 1909) because technology at that time didn't allow for efficient transport of electricity long distances from the power plants to the place of use. But in the 1920s technology had developed and it was possible to locate the plants close to the natural resources instad of close to the hydro electric power plants, that were located in the mountains in Northern Telemark.

Another important function was the establishment of a port for the export of fertilizer from Norsk Hydro's plants in Telemark. The Telemark Canal had been used for transport from Notodden from the start of operations there, while a railway, Rjukanbanen, had been built to the plant in Rjukan to Notodden. In 1916 this railway was extended as Bratsbergbanen to Skien, and then to Her?ya when it opened, replacing the need for the canal. Since then there has been opened other plants at Her?ya, including a production plant for PVC (in 1951).

Following the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany in April 1940 the German occupying force had plans to build Aluminium and Magnesium plants in Her?ya. The construction of the plant by Norsk Hydro in partnership with the Luftwaffe-operated Nordische Aluminium Aktiengesellschaft (Nordag) was however ended on July 24, 1943 when a bombardment by American B-17 Flying Fortresses completely destroyed the facilities, killing 55 construction workers. Later, in the fifties, Hydro would take up these plans and build a magnesium factory, which was rebuilt in 2002 to a metal recycling facility.

Post-WWII Her?ya

In the reminiscing book UT. Fra en oppvekst i forrige ?rhundre by historian Harald Berntsen, portrayals are given of incidents and milieus in Her?ya, from the time when his family moved there in 1951 (from downtown Porsgrunn), just before he was to begin school, and until 1960. The book explains among other things the way in which the different residential areas in Her?ya were related to status and hierarchy in the Hydro community. Berntsen's family lived in a flat on Torggata, on the peninsula proper, to the west of the Gunneklevfjord, in a recently built 4-flat house which the father had been given by Hydro.

Torggata

"On both sides of Torggata up on the right, one 'owned home' after the other, within well-groomed gardens fenced in with chain link fences and gates ... In front of the residence and down on the left, Torggata has recently been elevated and graveled, but not yet asphalted. On the other side of the street, the Germans have left a long two-storey barrack ... On both sides of Torggata down on the left, endless open yards with grass and weeds, thistles and nettles. The yards end in a fertile belt of tall, wavering rushes with a forest of brown cigars on the top, in front of the enclosed Gunneklevfjord, glittering in the sun in all hues of pollution. On the left side of the fjord Hydro's factory buildings tower proudly, in particular the tallest round tower which day and night pumps out the thick, yellow smoke which always gives the wind strength and...(and so on)

The Women's Trade Union League (WTUL) was a U.S. organization of both working class and more well-off women formed in 1903 to support the efforts of women to organize labor unions and to eliminate sweatshop conditions. The WTUL played an important role in supporting the massive strikes in the first two decades of the twentieth century that established the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union and Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America and in campaigning for women's suffrage among men and women workers.

Origins

WTUL float, Labor Day parade, New York, 1908.

The roots of the WTUL come from a British organization of the same name founded thirty years prior. The British League had originally supported the creation of a separate women labor movement but, by the 1890s, merged its own aims with the mainstream British labor movement and functioned as an umbrella organization of women trade unions. Its first American supporter was the socialist William English Walling who met with British WTUL leaders in 1902. He returned to the United States and began to generate support for a similar American organization

Organized in 1903 at the American Federation of Labor convention, the WTUL spent much of its early years trying to cultivate ties with the AFL leadership. By 1907, the WTUL saw its purpose as supporting the AFL and encouraging women membership in the organization. In its constitution that year, the WTUL defined its purpose in assisting n organizing women into trade unionsuch unions to be affiliated, where practicable, with the American Federation of Labor. In response, the AFL leadership generally ignored the League. When the WTUL decided to hold its annual conference at a different location than the AFL in 1905, Samuel Gompers was furious and refused to attend. Still, the League did push the AFL towards a pro-suffrage position and did manage to organize more women into the Federation than at any previous time.

It also drew on the earlier work of activists in the settlement house movement, such as Jane Addams and Florence Kelley, and budding unions in industries with a large number of women workers, such as garments and textiles. The WTUL leadership comprised both upper-class philanthropists and working-class women with experience organizing unions, including a significant portion of the most important female labor leaders of the day, including Mary Kenney O'Sullivan and Rose Schneiderman.

But the heyday of the League came between 1907 and 1922 under the presidency of Margaret Dreier Robins. During that period, the WTUL led the drive to organize women workers into unions, secured protective legislation, and educated the public on the problems and needs of working women.

Support for union organizing

After supporting a number of strikes in the first few years of its existence, the WTUL played a critical role in supporting the Uprising of the 20,000, the New York City and Philadelphia shirtwaist workers' strike, by providing a headquarters for the strike, raising money for relief funds, soup kitchens and bail for picketers, providing witnesses and legal defense for arrested picketers, joining the strikers on the picket line, and organizing mass meetings and marches to publicize the shirtwaist workers' demands and the sweatshop conditions they were fighting. Some observers made light of the upper-class women members of the WTUL who picketed alongside garment workers, calling them the "mink brigade". These distinctions split strikers from their upper-class benefactors as well: a contingent of strikers challenged Alva Belmont concerning her reasons for supporting the strike.

The strike was, however, less than wholly successful: Italian workers crossed the picket lines in large numbers and the strikers lacked the resources to hold out longer than the employers. In addition, although activists within the WTUL, including William E. Walling and Lillian D. Wald, were also among the founders of the NAACP that year and fought the employers' plan to use African-American strikebreakers to defeat the strike, others in the black community actively encouraged black workers to cross the picket lines. Even so, the strike produced some limited gains for workers, while giving both the WTUL and women garment workers a practical education in organizing.

The WTUL played a similar role in the strike of mostly male cloakmakers in New York City and men clothing workers in Chicago in 1910, in the 1911 garment workers strike in Cleveland and in many other actions in Iowa, Massachusetts, Missouri and Wisconsin. By 1912, however, the WTUL began to distance itself from the labor movement, supporting strike action selectively when it approved of the leadership's strategy and criticizing the...(and so on)

History

Development and construction

The original development team consisted of property owner USAA Real Estate Company, a subsidiary of the major insurance company, and Gaylord Entertainment, which owned the now closed Opryland USA theme park in Nashville, Tennessee. The original concept for Fiesta Texas was defined as "a destination market, musical show park" similar to that of Opryland USA. The primary focus on southwest music and culture rather than rides would be the unique element that would set the park apart from its competition.

When the initial ownership group began investigating a possible major theme park development in San Antonio, Texas, they faced significant competition in the Texas market. There were similar established Six Flags parks in Arlington and Houston as well as the nearby SeaWorld of Texas, which opened in 1988. Based on the competition, the development team believed the opportunity in San Antonio (an established regional leisure destination) was there and that the stable, slow growth direction of the theme park industry in the U.S. was in their favor.

Actual construction of the theme park took approximately 23 months, running from early 1990 to the park's opening in March 1992. Construction of the theme park was overseen by a joint venture of two general contractors, Lyda Inc. of San Antonio and Manhattan Construction Company of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Gaylord Entertainment managed and was a minority owner of the Fiesta Texas theme park. USAA Real Estate Company was the majority owner. Although attendance at the park met initial projections, Fiesta Texas was a money loser. After losing $16 million on the theme park in 1995, Gaylord sold its 14-percent stake back to USAA.

Change in ownership

In 1996, Time Warner took over management and operations of Fiesta Texas. USAA was the sole owner. Premier Parks, now known as Six Flags, purchased Fiesta Texas from USAA in 1998. Recent enhancements to Fiesta Texas include an expanded waterpark and boardwalk. On most nights the park closes with an animated laser show projected on the limestone quarry walls and fireworks.

For the 2008 season, the park received a new roller coaster, Goliath. This roller coaster is a Bolliger and Mabillard designed inverted coaster which was at Six Flags New Orleans known as "Batman: The Ride". Goliath will be the park's 8th coaster that is at the park, the 9th to actually operate at the park, and the 10th to have been announced by the park.

History

Originally a family business, established in 1833 on the banks of the Aker river in Oslo, Lilleborg expanded in 1842 to manufacturing hygiene products with the opening of "s?besyderiet", the "soap boilery". Here the company's manufacture of soft soap and bathroom soaps took place. In 1897, it became an aksjeselskap, and changed its name to A/S Lilleborg Fabrikker. In the final years of the 19th century, the company was offering a broad range of oils, bathroom, household and soft soaps. It was also the largest company of its sort in Norway, with more than 100 employees on roll.

At the end of the 1920s, Lilleborg had developed a close relationship with Denofa, a cooking oil producing company based in Fredrikstad. This culminated in 1930 with an agreement of cooperation between Lilleborg, Denofa, and the British company Lever Brothers (later Unilever), which had large ownership interests in the companies. As part of this agreement, Lilleborg acquired ownership and production of several well-known Lever Brothers brands, Sunlight being perhaps the foremost. Focusing strongly on brands throughout the 1930s, the company launched several of their strongest-selling brands of today in the years before the war, including Lano, Solidox, Blenda and Lux.

Unilever decided to sell their stocks in the company in 1958, but agreed upon another cooperation agreement which was to last for 20 years. This agreement was subsequently reformed on two occasions, and is still in effect - and will be until 2014. The following year, Denofa and Lilleborged merged to form A/S Denofa og Lilleborg Fabriker, which soon became a major player in the Norwegian hygiene market. The company then, in 1973, acquired Goma fabrikker, which in turned owned (amongst others) A/S Ello in Kristiansund.

In 1996, Lilleborg and Denofa split once more into two separate entities, in which Denofa continued the cooking oil activities, while Lilleborg was evolved into a pure brand-name manufacturer. In relation with this split, Lilleborg was reorganized as a company under Orkla Brands, a division of the Orkla Group, whilst Denofa was placed under Orkla Chemistry. In 1997, the activity by the Aker river ceased, while a new laundry detergent factory was opened in Ski.

Chain link fence with barbed wire at Raleigh-Durham International Airport.

A chain-link fence or wire netting or chain-wire fence is a type of woven fence usually made from galvanized or LLDPE-coated steel wire. The wires run vertically and are bent into a zig-zag pattern so that each "zig" hooks with the wire immediately on one side and each "zag" with the wire immediately on the other. This forms the characteristic diamond pattern seen in this type of fence.

Sizes and uses

In the United States, fencing usually comes in 20 rod and 50 ft rolls which can be joined by "unscrewing" one of the end wires and then "screwing" it back in so that it hooks both pieces. Common heights include 3 ft, 3 ft 6 in, 4 ft, 5 ft, 6 ft, 7 ft, 8 ft, 10 ft, and 12 ft, though almost any height is possible. Common mesh gauges are 9, 11, and 11.5. For tennis courts and ball parks the most popular height is 10 ft.

The popularity of chain-link fence is due to its relatively low cost and ease of installation. A further advantage is that due to the open weave, chain-link fences are transparent, and do not obscure sunlight from either side of the fence. If a semi-opaque fence is desired, this can be achieved by the insertion of slats into the mesh.

Installation

The installation of chain-link fence involves setting posts into the ground and attaching the fence to them. The posts may comprise steel tubing, timber or concrete and may be driven into the ground or set in concrete. End posts, or terminal posts, must either be set in concrete or anchored to prevent leaning under the tension of a stretched fence. After the end posts are set, line posts are driven in equally spaced at intervals of 2.5-3.0m. The fence is then attached at one end, stretched, and attached at the other; the excess being easily removed by "unscrewing" a wire. Finally it is tied to the line posts with aluminum wire.

Chain-link fences are also called Cyclone or Hurricane Fences.

Development of chain link fencing

In the United Kingdom the firm of Barnard, Bishop & Barnard was established in Norwich to produce chain-link fencing by machine. The process was developed by Charles Barnard in 1844 based on cloth weaving machines (Up until that time Norwich had a long history of cloth manufacture).

Anchor Fence (established in 1891) was the first US company to manufacture chain-link fencing by machines using equipment imported from Belgium.

Chain-link fence recommendations

A chain-link privacy fence topped with razor wire protecting a utility power sub-station.

An optional tubular top rail to help prevent bending of wire tops

Setting line posts in concrete every 10 feet.

Fasten fence to end posts using tension bands and tension bars.

Bottom wire to deter animal digging and pushing

Stretch fence and wire with a ratcheting tension tool (comealong).

Use a post pounder or driving cap to help prevent deforming of post tops.

A lenticular lens is an array of magnifying lenses, designed so that when viewed from slightly different angles, different images are magnified. The most common example is the lenses used in lenticular printing, where the technology is used to give an illusion of depth, or to make images that appear to change or move as the image is viewed from different angles.

Lenticular printing

Main article: Lenticular printing

Lenticular printing is a multi-step process consisting of creating a lenticular image from at least two existing images, and combining it with a lenticular lens. This process can be used to create various frames of animation (for a motion effect), offsetting the various layers at different increments (for a 3d effect), or simply to show a set of alternate images which may appear to transform into each other.

Corrective lenses

Lenticular lenses are sometimes used as corrective lenses for improving human vision. A bifocal lens could be considered a simple example.

Lenticular eyeglass lenses have been employed to correct extreme hyperopia (farsightedness), a condition often created by cataract surgery when lens implants are not possible. To limit the great thickness and weight that such high-power lenses would otherwise require, all the power of the lens is concentrated in a small area in the center. In appearance, such a lens is often described as resembling a fried egg: a hemisphere atop a flat surface. The flat surface or "carrier lens" has little or no power and is there merely to fill up the rest of the eyeglass frame and to hold or "carry" the lenticular portion of the lens. This portion is typically 40mm in diameter but may be smaller, as little as 20mm, in sufficiently high powers. These lenses are generally used for plus (hyperopic) corrections at about 12 diopters or higher. A similar sort of eyeglass lens is the myodisc, sometimes termed a minus lenticular lens, used for very high negative (myopic) corrections. More aesthetic aspheric lens designs are sometimes fitted.

Lenticular screens

Screens with a molded lenticular surface are frequently used with projection television systems. In this case, the purpose of the lenses is to focus more of the light into a horizontal beam and allow less of the light to escape above and below the plane of the viewer. In this way, the apparent brightness of the image is increased.

Ordinary front-projection screens can also be described as lenticular. In this case, rather than transparent lenses, the shapes formed are tiny curved reflectors.

Unreferenced rumors from GM

68.33.251.127 said that:

General Motors is preparing to launch a revolutionary self-driving system on the 2008 Opel Vectra. The car will be capable of piloting itself at speeds up to 60 mph in heavy traffic without any input from the driver sitting behind the steering wheel. GM claims the system, called Traffic Assist, will make driving safer and more relaxing. It uses lasers, a video camera and plenty of computing power to "see" signs, bends, other vehicles and lane markings, and to control the engine, steering and brakes to keep the car in the correct position on the road and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. The system is to become available on more models by the end of the decade initially other cars on the Epsilon platform, including the next Saab 9-3, Cadillac BLS and Saturn Aura. Whether it will be launched in the U.S. will depend on whether administrators deem it safe product liability laws are different in America. GM expects the package to be about 50-percent more expensive than conventional active cruise control radar equipment, which controls distances but cannot steer the car.

I, personally, doubt it. Moved it over here. Samfreed 13:33, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Seems to be based on this: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/spyshots/208774/opel_vectra.html . looks more hype than substance. A very similat text appears in 2005 press releases. Samfreed 13:37, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Tone of article

This reads like a report someone did for school. There's a lot of 'miracle' and 'marvel' type words, as well as odd first-person references to Italy.

In the actual article, "Miracle" = 0 times. "Marvel" = one mention, "seeming marvel" - sarcastic if anything. "First person" - Where? "Italy" - Twice, "Italian" - 3 times, it so happens that a lot is going on there. For comparison, "USA" is mentioned in that exact spelling 6 times, as "US" 7 times. Can you substantiate what you said? or were you discussing this talk page? In any case, the fully driverless car is in the future, if it will ever happen at all, and for that reason alone could be justly termed "a marvel". Anyhow, feel free to improve the article itself, or discuss specifics here - I just can't quite relate to what you said, I suppose. Please enlighten me, especialy on the "first person" stuff. Samfreed 22:59, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Sam, I'm with you on this. I couldn't find any use of Italy in the first-person either. However, I have just edited out "some brave souls", which was rather POV, and removed the paragraph explaining the order of discussion (which would be useful in a magazine article, but not here). --Habap 11:51, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Habap - what about the quote: "Either a desert (free of any human or human-made obstacle), or a clearly-marked, well-painted (in our case Italian) motorway". In who's case? There are a few instances of this in this article where you need to read to get context rather than do a search and count the number of times a word occurs.

So much discussion about a 3-line paragraph! If anyone doesn't like the tone of the article, why not edit it for tone, POV, etc? It isn't locked, this is the wikipedia, just go ahead! I promise to review for accuracy, it is on my watchlist. If I have time later today I might even do it myself, now that I understand what the complaining is about - but Please just use the wiki!

Circular saw

2009-05-13T20:57:00.005-07:00

I want to introduct something about .

This miter saw uses a circular saw mounted to cut at an angle

"Buzzsaw" redirects here. For other uses, see Buzzsaw (disambiguation).

The circular saw is a metal disc or blade with saw teeth on the edge as well as the machine that causes the disk to spin. It is a tool for cutting wood or other materials and may be hand-held or table-mounted. It can also be used to make narrow slots. Most of these saws are designed to cut wood but may be equipped with blades designed to cut masonry, plastics or metal. There are also purpose-made circular saws specially designed for particular materials. While today circular saws are almost exclusively powered by electricity, larger ones, such as those in "saw mills", were traditionally powered by water turning a large wheel.

Process

Typically, the material to be cut is securely clamped or held in a vise, and the saw is advanced slowly across it. In variants such as the table saw, the saw is fixed and the material to be cut is slowly moved into the saw blade. As each tooth in the blade strikes the material, it makes a small chip. The teeth guide the chip out of the workpiece, preventing it from binding the blade.

Characteristics

Cutting is by teeth on the edge of a thin blade

The cut has narrow kerf and good surface finish

Cuts are straight and relatively accurate

The saw usually leaves burrs on the cut edge

Invention

Various claims have been made as to who invented the circular saw:

A common claim is for a little known sailmaker named Samuel Miller of Southampton, England who obtained a patent in 1777 for a saw windmill. However the specification for this only mentions the form of the saw incidentally, probably indicating that it was not his invention.

Walter Taylor of Southampton had the blockmaking contract for Portsmouth Dockyard. In about 1762 he built a saw mill where he roughed out the blocks. This was replaced by another mill in 1781. Descriptions of his machinery there in the 1790s show that he had circular saws. Taylor patented two other improvements to blockmaking but not the circular saw. This suggests either that he did not invent it or that he published his invention without patenting it (which would mean it was no longer patentable).

Another claim is that it originated in Holland in the sixteenth or seventeenth century. This may be correct, but nothing more precise is known.

The use of a large circular saw in a saw mill is said to have been invented in 1813 by Tabitha Babbit, a Shaker spinster, who sought to ease the labour of the male sawyers in her community.

Types of circular saw

In addition to hand-held circular saws (see below), different saws that use circular saw blades include:

Miter saws (or Chop saw or Cut-off saw)

Radial arm saws

Saw mills

Table saws

Panel saws

Biscuit joiners

Pendulum saw

Brushcutter

Cold saws

Sawmill blades

Saw mills use very large circular saws, up to nine feet (2.97 meters) in diameter. They are either left or right-handed, depending on which side of the blade the plank falls away from. Benching determines which hand the saw is. Saws of this size typically have a shear pin hole, off axis, that breaks if the saw is overloaded and allows the saw to spin free. The most common version is the ITCO (insert tooth cut-off) which has replaceable teeth. Sawmill blades are also used as an alternative to a radial arm saw.

Cordwood saws

Cordwood saws, also called buzz saws in some locales, use blade of a similar size to sawmills. Where a sawmill rips (cuts with the grain) a cordwood saw crosscuts (cuts across the grain). Cordwood saws can have a blade from 20 to more than 36 inches diameter depending on the power source and intended purpose. Buzz saws are used to cut long logs (cordwood) and slabs (sawmill waste) into pieces suitable for home heating (firewood).

Most cordwood saws consist of a frame, blade, mandrel, cradle, and power source. The cradle is a tilting or sliding guide that holds logs during the cutting process. Some cordwood saws are run from a belt from a farm tractor power takeoff pulley. Others are equipped with small gasoline engines or even large electric motors as power sources. The mandrel is a shaft and set of bearings that support and transfer power to the blade. The frame is a structure that supports the cradle and blade at a convenient working height.

Cordwood saws were once very popular in rural America. They were used to cut smaller wood into firewood in an era when...(and so on)

Red acrylic paint

Acrylic paint is fast-drying paint containing pigment suspended in an acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints can be diluted with water, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted (with water) or modified with acrylic gels, mediums, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with the other media.

History

Acrylics were first made commercially available in the 1950s. These were mineral spirit-based paints called Magna offered by Bocour Artist Colors. Water-based acrylic paints were subsequently sold as "latex" house paints, although acrylic dispersion uses no latex derived from a rubber tree. Interior "latex" house paints tend to be a combination of binder (sometimes acrylic, vinyl, pva and others), filler, pigment and water. Exterior "latex" house paints may also be a "co-polymer" blend, but the very best exterior water-based paints are 100% acrylic. Soon after the water-based acrylic binders were introduced as house paints, artists (the first of whom were Mexican muralists) and companies alike began to explore the potential of the new binders. Water soluble artist quality acrylic paints became commercially available in the early 1960s, offered by Liquitex.

Techniques

Main article: Acrylic painting techniques

Acrylic artist paints may be thinned with water and used as washes in the manner of watercolor paints, but the washes are not re-hydratable once dry. For this reason, acrylics do not lend themselves to color lifting techniques as do gum arabic based watercolor paints.

Fluorescent acrylic paints lit by UV light.

Acrylic paints can be used in high gloss or matte finishes. As with oils, pigment amounts and particle size can alter the paint sheen. Likewise, matting agents can be added to dull the finish. Topcoats or varnishes may also be applied to alter sheen.

When dry, acrylic paint is generally non-removable. Water or mild solvents do not re-solubilize it, although isopropyl alcohol can lift some fresh paint films off. Toluene and acetone can remove paint films, but they do not lift paint stains very well and are not selective. The use of a solvent to remove paint will result in removal of all of the paint layers, acrylic gesso, etc.

Only a proper, artist-grade acrylic gesso should be used to prime canvas in preparation for painting with acrylic. It is important to avoid adding non-stable or non-archival elements to the gesso upon application. Acrylic will not form a stable paint film if it has been thinned with more than 30% water content. However, the viscosity of acrylic can successfully be reduced by using suitable extenders that maintain the integrity of the paint film. There are retarders to prolong drying and workability time and a flow release to increase color blending ability.

Painters and acrylic

Prior to the 20th century, artists mixed their own paints to increase the longevity of the artwork and achieve desired pigment load, viscosity, and to control the use of fillers, if any. While suitable mediums and raw pigments are available for the individual production of acrylic paint, due to the fast drying time, hand mixing may not be practical.

Acrylic painters modify the appearance, hardness, flexibility, texture, and other characteristics of the paint surface using acrylic mediums. Watercolor and oil painters also use various mediums, but the range of acrylic mediums is much greater. Acrylics have the ability to bond to many different surfaces, and mediums can be used to adjust their binding characteristics. They can also be used to build thick layers of paint: gel and molding paste mediums are sometimes used to create paintings with relief features that are literally sculptural.

Acrylic paints are the most commonly used in grattage.

Differences between acrylic and oil paint

The main difference between acrylics and oil paints is the inherent drying time. Oils allow for more time to blend colors and apply even glazes over underpaintings. This slow drying aspect of oil can be seen as an advantage for certain techniques, but in other regards it impedes the artist trying to work quickly. The fast evaporation of water from the acrylic paint film can be slowed with the use of acrylic retarders. Retarders are generally glycol or glycerin-based additives. In the case of acrylic paints, the addition of a retarder slows the evaporation rate of the water, and allows for more water to be added and the paint workable, until the retarder has left the film and the paint...(and so on)

Plot

The story opens in the town of Forrest Valley, where Mitchell Moinian - a boy with a love of cars - has moved to a new home with his family. His father, a DIY man, invites Mitchell and his younger brother Todd to buy some supplies at the hardware store in the family car - a worn-out car described as a "14-year-old, puke-green Chrysler LeBaron". During the drive, the brakes cut out, and the car crashes into a tree.

Sometime after, Mitchell convinces his father to answer a newspaper advert for a sports-car, and they travel to town to see it. Mitchell becomes uneasy when he notices the number of padlocks on the garage door, and even more curious when Mr. Douglas refuses to accompany them on a test-drive. Despite initial worries, Mitchell's father agrees to buy the car, much to Mitchell's delight.

One night, however, Mitchell feels compelled to sit in the car, when he begins to hear voices, inviting him into the car. As Mitchell is sat in the car, he suddenly finds that he is locked in, and he is rescued by a strange girl calling herself Marissa Meddin who acts oddly around Mitchell.

After that, several unusual incidents begin to happen whenever Mitchell is in or around the car. He and Todd almost freeze to death in it, the car drives itself away, and Mitchell finds disturbing messages in the glove compartment, but fails to convince his father about these incidents, and is unable to obtain any information about the car from Mr. Douglas.

One night, Mitchell finds himself being forced into the car, and discovers it to be possessed by the spirit of a young girl similar to Marissa, who died in the car after taking it for a joyride, and now wants to kill Mitchell so that he will be her companion forever. When the car crashes, however, the spirit-girl saves Mitchell's life, canceling out her evil and destroying her spiritual form.

Soon after the crash, Mitchell learns that the girl in the car was Marissa's twin sister, Becka, whose spirit had taken control of the car after her accident. Mitchell has difficulty in convincing his parents about the hauntings, but soon realizes that he and his father had been driving the car the whole time without a battery.

Characters

Mitchell Moinian - Main character, a car enthusiast

Becka Douglas - The evil spirit who possesses the car

Marissa Meddin - A strange girl who is Becka's twin sister (her relation to Becka Douglas suggests that her real surname is Douglas rather than Meddin)

Mr. Douglas - The seller of the haunted car

Todd Moinian - Mitchell's younger brother who is convinced that their new house is haunted

Mr. Moinian - An inept DIY man and Mitchell's father

Mrs. Moinian - Mitchell and Todd's skeptical mother

The Car

The car featured in the book has no comparison with any real-life car. Throughout the book, it is described as a silver-blue sports car similar to a Corvette, which is impossible because a Corvette is a coupe rather than a sports car. The clearest description of the car is a newspaper advertisement, describing the car as:

New model sports sedan...V-8, white leather interior

On the book cover, however, the car featured resembles a streamlined version of a Lincoln Continental Mark III, the same type of car featured in the 1977 movie, The Car.

The LA engines are a family of pushrod OHV 90 V-block gasoline engines built by Chrysler Corporation and factory-installed in passenger vehicles, trucks and vans, commercial vehicles, marine and industrial applications from 1964 through 2003. The combustion chambers are wedge-shaped, rather than the polyspherical combustion chambers in the predecessor A engine or the hemispherical chambers in the Chrysler Hemi engine. All are cast iron, except for the Viper V10, which is aluminum. LA engines have the same 4.46-inch (113mm) bore spacing as the A engines. LA engines were made at Chrysler's Mound Road Engine plant in Detroit, Michigan as well as plants in Canada and Mexico.

273 V8

The 273 (4.5L) was the first LA engine, introduced in 1964 and offered through 1969, rated at 180 BHp. It had a 3.625in (92mm) bore and 3.31in (84mm) stroke. It had a mechanical solid lifter valvetrain until 1968 when hydraulic lifters were introduced. A special version was also available in 1966 only - it used a 0.500-inch (12.7mm) lift solid-lifter camshaft, fabricated-steel-tube exhaust, and a Holley 4-barrel carburetor, producing 275 horsepower (1 hp/cuin). It was available in the Dodge Dart only, and the car so equipped was called the "D-Dart". A 235hp (175kW) version with a less aggressive camshaft and without the tube headers was available on regular production Darts, Valiants, and Barracudas from 1965 to '67, it was standard only in the Barracuda Formula S model.

318 V8

The LA 318 was a 318cuin (5.2L) relative of the A 318. Like the A 318, it has a larger bore at 3.91in (99mm) as well as a stroke of 3.31in (84mm). It appeared shortly after the 273, in 1967, and proved tremendously successful. A version of this engine was available until 1991 when its was superseded by the Magnum version (See below). It used hydraulic lifters and a two barrel carburetor for most of its production, though four-barrel Carter Thermo-Quad and Rochester Quadrajet carburetors were used in police applications starting in 1978. The 318 received roller lifters and a fast-burn cylinder head in 1985, and throttle-body electronic fuel injection for truck applications starting in 1988.

340 V8

As the Detroit power wars heated up in the mid-1960s, Chrysler decided to produce a small block V8 specifically designed for high performance applications. The goal was to have a lightweight, high output engine equally suited for the drag strip or an oval track[citation needed]. The result of this decision was the 340cuin V8. Chrysler's engineers increased the 318's cylinder bores to 4.04-inch (103mm) while keeping the 318's 3.31-inch (84mm) stroke. Anticipating higher loads resulting from racing operation, the engineers fitted a forged steel crankshaft instead of the cast nodular iron unit used in the 318. A 4-barrel carburetor was mated to a high-rise, dual plane intake manifold. This induction setup fed into a set of cylinder heads that are still considered[who?] one of the best of that era. The heads were high-flow items with big ports, and used 2.02-inch (51mm) intake and 1.60-inch (41mm) exhaust valves. An aggressive cam[vague] was fitted to take advantage of the much better breathing top end. 1968 4-Speed cars got an even hotter cam, but it was discontinued in 1969[citation needed]. The engine was equipped with hydraulic lifters[citation needed]. Power output was officially stated as 275hp (205kW) for the 4 barrel and 290hp (216kW) for the 6-pack version with triple 2-barrel carburetors. Using flat-top pistons, the 340's compression ratio was 10.5:1, placing it near the limit of what was possible on pump gas[citation needed]. The 340 also used heavy-duty parts such as a dual timing chain, windage tray and revised[vague] oil pump[citation...(and so on)

List of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episodes
"Dead Ringer" is the twentieth episode from the fourth season of the popular American forensic crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, which is set in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Plot summary
The plot summary in this article is too long or detailed compared to the rest of the content. Please edit the article to focus on discussing the work rather than merely reiterating the plot. (May 2008)
It is nighttime, and there is a marathon with police escorts to protect the runners. The race involves a relay, and the CSIs are participating. Grissom is driving a car next to Catherine as she runs, and she complains about the music he is broadcasting over his speakers, which includes "Chariots of Fire". Grissom suddenly veers off the road because he sees a flasher, which turns out to be connected to the dead body of a law enforcement officer from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Special Enforcement Squad (LASD SES). His corneas are glossy, which takes days to occur. However, he is wearing a number, which seems to indicate he was participating in the race. He has recent injuries on his knuckles. Grissom pulls a red fiber from the man's clothing bare-handed, saying "Collect it or lose it."
In the daytime, the CSIs are at the scene. Grissom finds a rock that appears to have blood on it. The man, Tim Coleman, had an ATM receipt in his pocket but no cash. Dr. Robbins says that the man was in excellent shape, with the exception of a large head wound. His liver indicated that he was dehydrated; this also explains the cloudy corneas. He had a high, but not lethal dose of blood pressure medication in his system. This drug could cause blurred vision, dizziness, and muscle weakness, which could have caused him to go off the course. However, it is not clear why the drug was in his system.
Greg finds that there was a withdrawal made from Coleman's account after he died. He and Nick find security video from the ATM, and they see the face of the man at the ATM.
Hodges identifies the red fiber as mercerized cotton, which is very strong. It is used for machine quilting and embroidery, which includes sports attire. Back at the race, Grissom notices that the members of the LAPD SWAT team, who won the race has red stitching on their jackets. One of the men in the jackets says that he has a black eye because he was trying to subdue Coleman at the race.
Nick interviews the man in the ATM video. He says he is innocent.
Meanwhile, Sara and Warrick investigate a death at a hotel. A dead woman on the floor has a Glock, a standard police issue gun, by her hand. There is also a dead man. By the presence of a condom, it seems that they had sex, and the case appears to be a murder-suicide. Both victims were cops.
Grissom tests Coleman's water bottle and finds traces of the blood pressure medication, so someone likely spiked his drink.
Catherine and Brass speak to the LA County team medic. He was in charge of keeping the team hydrated. He disliked Coleman but says he was not the killer.
After informing the male cop's, Manny Santana's, wife of his death, Sara and Warrick discuss their case. Hodges has analyzed the prints on the gun, and based on his findings, Sara suggests that someone else may have wiped down the gun and then planted the female cop's, Patricia Fielding's, prints on it. There was a third set of prints on the gun; they belong to another female cop.
Catherine finds that Coleman used creatine to bulk, and it caused dehydration. The combination of the creatine and the blood pressure medication caused an electrolyte imbalance and led to cardiac arrest. However, it does not seem that there was enough of the medication in the water to cause this.
Sara and Warrick investigate the home of the other female cop, Lydia Lopez, whose prints were at the scene. They find a ripped nightie, a man's wedding ring, and a woman's shoe. They interview Lydia at the station, and she says that she was having an affair with Manny, but she was surprised to hear that he was with Patricia. Lydia's husband, Archie, found Patricia and Manny, but...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about gymnastics supplies, white wine bottle, .

Synopsis
Twelve-year-old Robin Garr witnessed her friend Amelia's death at summer camp. Robin cannot cope with the death and blames herself. Further, her parents are always fighting. Mrs. Garr has just changed her job and moves to another city, but visits on the weekends; it's a big chance for her and she thinks the change will be good for the family. Robin is frustrated with this turn of events.
One day Robin meets a pleasant woman named Dorothy, who turns out to be a new neighbor. They soon become friends, but the closer they get, the more uncomfortable Robin feels. Dorothy begins to become obsessed with Robin; it is eventually revealed that she is really the mother of Amelia, the girl who died at summer camp. Dorothy cannot cope with the loss of her daughter and is trying to replace her by getting close to Robin. One day Dorothy helps Robin clean up and clandestinely places a walkie-talkie in her room. Each night, when her parents are putting her to bed, Dorothy listens in on their conversations. Mrs. Garr notices how weirdly close Dorothy has become to Robin, and is not comfortable with it; she realizes that Robin is also uncomfortable.
One night, Mr. Garr asks Dorothy to stay with Robin while he is gone. When Robin is disobedient to Dorothy, Dorothy hits her. Mr. Garr comes home to find both Dorothy and his daughter gone, and he sees a bit of blood on the doorframe. He calls his wife, and she comes home. They call the police and set out to find their little girl.
Meanwhile, Dorothy is trying to brainwash Robin. She has taken Robin to her home and begun to call her Amelia. When Robin refuses to obey the woman, Dorothy locks her in Amelia's old room.
Robin's parents come across Amelia's file at camp and track down her address, despite being told to wait at home. When Robin tries to escape from Dorothy (whose real name is Gretchen), she tries to hurt Robin by burning her arm. Finally, when Robin's parents arrive, Mr. Garr breaks down the window and the door to the bedroom. Gretchen insists that Robin is really her daughter Amelia. The detectives and police arrive shortly thereafter, removing Robin from Gretchen's care and giving her back to her parents.
While being arrested, the clearly mentally ill Gretchen says things like, "Amelia... want to play hide and seek? Yes, yes, I'll find you..." She continues to act this way as they take her away and place her in the police car. Robin and her parents then return home. Mrs. Garr decides to quit her job, deciding that she doesn't need it as much as she needs her family.

The RCA Lyceum TV was a commercial monitor/receiver with a large input/output panel on the back, and a 20-foot (6.1m) long grounded plug. During the mid-80s, RCA released the Colortrak 2000, a television identical to the Dimensia table-top model. Even though the Colortrak was considered the mid-range model, those bearing the name Colortrak 2000, were considered high-end, along with the Dimensia. The Lyceum TV, Dimensia, and Colortrak 2000 models all basically had the same chassis (a woodgrain veneer, or black laminate for some Dimensias, and fabric covered speakers on the sides of the cabinet). Many Colortrak 2000, Lyceum, and Dimensia TVs came packaged with a very large remote control, the Digital Command Center. There are several different versions of the Digital Command Center, but a main feature was that it could control an array of selected RCA components, all with the one remote--a universal remote only for RCA products, so to speak. The Dimensia version of the remote was called the "Dimensia-Intelligent Audio Video" and had identical buttons to the Digital Command Center.

Lyceum TV Performance Features

RCA Dimensia I/O panel
The RCA Lyceum TV has an array of high level features including:
Video Noise Reduction--this system reduces the appearance of noise in dark areas of the picture while maintaining full detail sharpness in bright picture areas.
Full Resolution Color--The Lyceum TV is the first receiver to process the full transmitted color signal for up to 3 times the color resolution of conventional TVs for certain critical colors.
Automatic Color Balance--Automatic circuitry monitors and balances the output of 3 electron guns. The system virtually elimates color "drift" and provides consistent, optimm color balance during tube warm-up and for the life of the tube.
Detail Processor--RCA's advanced design signal processing systems help provide the richly detailed and precisely accurate picture quality demanded of a high-performance commercial component. The picture resolution is increased and the circuitry intensifies tonal gradations, where black and white images meet so objects are "outlined" and picture detail is enhanced to make it stand out from backgrounds.
Digital Command Center--The RCA Lyceum TV came packaged with this matching remote, the most advanced and sophisticated remote control system. The Digital Command Center lets you activate the TV's functions and also controls for programming channel scan operation and the on-screen clock.
ChanneLock Tuning--a system that utilizes a precision quartz crystal to generate a stable and exact frequency reference for all VHF, UHF, and cable channels. When a channel is selected, digital control circuitry directs the tuner to the exact frequency required.
Automatic Picture Control Systems--The Lyceum TV utilized all of the built-in automatic picture control and convenience features found in the RCA Colortrak 2000 models including:
-Automatic Color/Fleshtone Correction--the set maintains color intensity and fleshtone hues to the settings you've selected on the TV. This circuitry monitors the hue of every picture element, watching for and adjusting critical fleshtone errors while also maintaining the accuracy of background colors.
-Automatic Contrast/Color Tracking--allows you to adjust the contrast, color, and overall brightness of the picture with a single control. When turning the picture control, the TV activates electronic tracking circuits that automatically keep contrast, color, and overall brightness in proper balance.
-Automatic Light Sensor--this acts as an "electronic eye" to monitor the amount of light in the room. When the light level changes, the light sensor's Light Dependent Resistor circuitry automatically adjusts the picture--brighter in a room with bright light and darker for a dimly-lit room.
-Automatic Sharpness Circuit--The RCA-designed sharpness control system tracks sharpness that is consistently matched to your preference.
-BlackLock Contrast Circuit--maintains black levels and picture detail even under high contrast conditions.

History
Makino is a global machine tool manufacturer. It was established in 1937 by Tsunezo Makino in Japan, developing Japan first NC milling machine in 1958 and Japan first machining center in 1966.
The North American branch of Makino was formed through the 1981 merger of the R. K. LeBlond Machine Tool Company of Cincinnati and the Makino Milling Machine Company of Japan. Resulting from the merger was the formation of what was then called LeBlond Makino Machine Tool Company.
In 1996 LeBlond Makino became Makino, and in 1997 LeBlond Lathe Ltd. was formed as a parts and servicing subsidiary.
Innovations
Throughout Makino history, the company has developed machine tool innovations. Makino developed the first NC Electrical Discharge Machine (EDM) in 1980. In 1984, Makino developed the first high-speed spindle.
In 1989, Makino's most popular segment of machines was introduced, Horizontal Machining Centers (HMC), with the release of their HMC, the A55. Makino is now a leading manufacturer of horizontal machining centers.
In 1990, Makino introduced Super Geometric Intelligence, the first servo-control software to provide higher machining speed, and Flush Fine machining, a method for cutting hardened materials. These developments, along with Makino reputation for accuracy and machine rigidity, led to the company becoming the leader in the milling of hardened materials (hardmilling).
The company developed the first drop-tank design wire EDM in 1994, winning several industry awards, and HQSF(High-Quality Surface Finish) technology with patented uSc additive in 1996, increasing the ability to finish parts without hand polishing when using a Ram EDM. In 2003, Makino developed the first conventional horizontal wire EDM that automatically threads and machines with a 0.02 mm diameter wire.
In 2003 Makino released the first of their MAG series, a 5-axis series of HMCs specifically designed for high productivity machining of complex aluminum monolithic parts for aerospace.
In 2006, Makino helped develop an efficient process to machine Compacted Graphite Iron, a material destined to be the future of diesel and automotive engines, using its a81M with a high-torque spindle. In the same year, the company developed HEAT(High Energy Applied Technology) for wire EDMs to increase speed in wire EDM-ing., and released the EDAC1 micro EDM Ram machine, capable of producing corner radii of 0.00019 inches (0.005 mm) and surface finish quality of 0.000024 inches (0.6 micrometre). Makino is also the only manufacturer of a horizontal wire EDM, the UPJ-2. In 2007 Makino introduced SurfaceWIZARD wire EDM technology, which allowed for the elimination of witness lines in stepped parts.
Today
Today, Makino is a leading manufacturer of high-speed CNC machining centers and EDM technology, offering horizontal machining centers, vertical machining centers, 5-axis machining centers, Ram and Wire EDM machines, and specialty machines for applications such as aerospace machining, micromachining, hardmilling, and fine hole machining. In addition, Makino provides integration services such as turnkey engineering and application support, automation systems and capital financing of manufacturing equipment.
Makino offers both online training and classroom training at its many Tech Center locations, and also broadcasts free online seminars, also known as webinars.
Makino machines feature patented technologies such as core-cooled spindles with under race lubrication, Super Geometric Intelligence (SGI), SurfaceWIZARD, High Energy Applied Technology (HEAT), HQSF, and SuperSpark.
Technology Centers for Makino are located in the United States (Mason, Ohio; Auburn Hills, Michigan; Waukesha, Wisconsin; Elgin, Illinois; Fountain Valley, California), Japan, Germany, Singapore, Italy, France, Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, China, Mexico, Brazil, and India, and are...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about heater press machine, core drill machine, .

History
1915 - 1920
Emerson Radio Corp. was incorporated in 1915 as Emerson Phonograph Co. (NAICS: 421620 Consumer Electronics Wholesaling), based in New York City, by an early recording engineer and executive, Victor Hugo Emerson, who was at one time employed by Thomas A. Edison. The first factories were opened in Chicago and Framingham, Long Island, in 1920. In December of that year, the company fell victim to the unanticipated sales slump for phonograph music that accompanied the post-World War I recession and the growth of commercial radio. It went from the self-claimed third largest record manufacturer into receivership.
1921 - 1940
In 1922 Emerson Phonograph Co. passed into the hands of Benjamin Abrams and Rudolph Kanarak. Abrams, a phonograph and record salesman, along with his two brothers, ran the company and renamed it Emerson Radio & Phonograph Corp in 1924 after entering the radio business. The company's record interests were subsequently sold. Although Emerson introduced the first radio-phonograph combination sold in the United States, the company remained in obscurity until 1932, when, during the Great Depression, it introduced the "peewee" radio (see "Historical Products" below).
1941 - 1950
Emerson Radio & Phonograph converted to military production for World War II in 1942, when it held one-sixth of the U.S. radio market. In 1943, it became a public corporation, when it offered over 40 percent of its stock to the public for $12 a share. In 1947, among its first post-war products, Emerson offered a television set with a 10-inch tube. Although its ending retail price was nearly equal to a months salary for the average working American, it put Emerson at the lower end of the market. However, between fiscal 1948 and 1950, the high demand for television allowed Emerson to more than double its sales. Its net income reached a record of $6.5 million in fiscal 1950, with sales of $74.2 million.
1951 - 1960
In 1953 Emerson Radio and Phonograph purchased Quiet Heet Corp., which entered the company into air conditioning. Although radio represented only 15 percent of Emerson's revenue by 1954, the company credited itself as creating the firsts of the clock radio, self-powered radio, and transistorized pocket radio. And production of tape recorders began in 1955.
Emerson Radio and Phonograph paid $6 million to purchase the consumer products division of Allen B. DuMont Laboratories, Inc. in 1958. With this acquisition, a higher-priced line of television sets, phonographs and high-fidelity and stereo instruments, along with the DuMont trademark was added to Emerson's products. Unfortunately, by this time, almost every U.S. household that wanted a TV set already had one, and many customers who were in need of another set were waiting for color television instead of buying a replacement. Sales fell from $87.4 million in fiscal 1955 to $73.9 million in fiscal 1956, when the company earned a paltry $84,852.
A cost-cutting campaign by Abrams rebounded net income which reached $2.7 million in fiscal 1959 on sales of $67.4 million. In fiscal 1964 (Emerson's last full year of independent operation) it earned $2.1 million on sales of $68.2 million.
1961 - 1980
In 1965 the company acquired the Pilot Radio Corp. from Jerrold Corp. Its line of Quiet Kool air conditioners became a separate National Union Electric division. Later in 1965 Emerson Radio and Phonograph was purchased for approximately $62 million in cash and stock by National Union Electric Corp., a diversified manufacturer. This company continued to produce radios, television sets and phonographs distributed under the Emerson and DuMont names and hi-fi equipment under the Pilot name.
Between 1967 and 1971 the National Union Electric division lost about $27 million due to too...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about fastener manufacturers, auto fuse, . The products should be show more here!

Dirt Track Racing
AustraliaCanadaNew ZealandSouth AfricaUnited KingdomUnited States
Dirt track racing is a type of auto racing performed on oval tracks. It began in the United States before World War I and became widespread during the 1920s and 30s. Two different types of racecars predominatedpen wheel racers in the Northeast and West and stock cars in the South. While open wheel racecars are purpose-built racing vehicles, stock cars (also known as fendered cars) can be either purpose-built racecars or street vehicles that have been modified to varying degrees.
Dirt track racing is the single most common form of auto racing in the United States. There are hundreds of local and regional racetracks throughout the nation: some estimates range as high as 1500. The sport is popular in Australia and Canada also. Many of the cars may also race on asphalt short tracks during the racing season.

The racetrack

Dirt Late Model class drivers show how dirt track car drivers slide their car's backend around through a corner. The multiple drivers show the car angle at different points in a corner.
North America
Nearly all tracks are oval and less than 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) in length with most being ? mile (804 m) or less. The most common increments in the U.S. are ? mile, ? mile (603 m), ? mile (536 m), ? mile (402 m), and ? mile (201 m). With the longer tracks, the racecars achieve higher speeds and the interval between cars increases. This decreases the chance of crashes but increases the damage and chance of injury when cars do crash.
The track surface may be composed of any soil, but most racers prefer a track with a clay base. The track operators usually try to keep the surface tacky and may sprinkle water on it if it begins to dry. Some operators build flat ovals, but many are highly banked.
United Kingdom
Main article: Dirt track racing in the U.K.
In Great Britain the oval tracks are normally on grass with lengths of 400 meters (? mile) to 800 meters (? mile). The race consists of several qualifying heats, each lasting four laps of the track leading up to the final.
Grass Track is very much a family sport suitable for all ages and abilities. Boys and girls from as young as six can compete on automatic machines. The ages and capacity classes progress right through to adult status. There are also classes in youth grass track to run motocross machines on a grass track circuit. Youth events are carefully controlled to provide good racing for young competitors.
Rest of Europe
In mainland Europe Long Tracks can be used on grass, or sand and can be up to 1 kilometer (0.621 miles) long.
The race vehicle

A typical dirt track "street stock" car racing in Wisconsin, USA
Each racetrack or sponsoring organization maintains a rule book outlining each class of racecar; including dimensions, engine size, equipment requirements, prohibitions, etc. The requirements for each class are usually coordinated with other racetracks and associations to allow for the widest available venue for each type of car. This coordination allows the drivers to enter many different racetracks, increasing their chances of winning; allows the racetrack to field as many cars as possible; lets the racing associations develop a series of race events; and promotes fan interest.
Many fans prefer one or the other of the different type cars. Open wheel fans say, "Real racecars don't have fenders." Stock car (shown right and above) fans point out that even minimal contact between open wheel racers usually disables both cars. In reality, both types of vehicles have weak and strong points. Open wheel racers are usually lighter and nimbler. Stock cars can push and shove their way to advancement.
Many tracks support both types of racer in their programs. Both types range from powerful V8 engines to small, still powerful, 4-cylinder engines. Some of the smaller open wheel racers even have classes for single-cylinder powerplants. Depending on the class, the cars may have wings to aid in handling at higher speeds.

Plain two-position slip joint pliers

water pump pliers
Slip joint pliers are pliers whose pivot point or fulcrum can be moved to increase the size range of their jaws. "Channellock" is an eponymous brand of slip joint pliers.
Usage
Most slip joint pliers use a mechanism that allows sliding the pivot point into one of several positions when the pliers are fully opened.
Varieties
The two most common varieties of slip joint pliers are straight slip joint pliers and water pump or channellock type pliers.
Straight slip joint pliers are very common in North America and are often included in pre-packaged tool kits. They are configured similarly to common or linesman pliers in that their jaws are in line with their handles. One side of the pliers usually has two holes that are connected by a slot for the pivot. The pivot is fastened to the other side and shaped such that it can slide through the slot when the pliers are fully opened.
On water pump or channellock type pliers the jaws are set at a 45 to 60 degree angle to the handles. They usually have longer handles in comparison to their jaws than other pliers to provide better leverage. While the mechanism for changing sizes also requires fully opening the jaws of these pliers, they usually have more different pivot positions. The most common size is about 250mm from nose to the end of the handles and adjusts from 0-50mm jaw size

Kevlar's molecular structure; BOLD: monomer unit; DASHED: hydrogen bonds.
Kevlar is the registered trademark for a light, strong para-aramid synthetic fiber, related to other aramids such as Nomex and Technora.
Developed at DuPont in 1965 by Stephanie Kwolek it was first commercially used in the early 1970s as a replacement for steel in racing tires. Typically it is spun into ropes or fabric sheets that can be used as such or as an ingredient in composite material components.
Currently, Kevlar has many applications, ranging from bicycle tires and racing sails to body armor because of its high strength-to-weight ratioamously: "...5 times stronger than steel on an equal weight basis..."
A similar fiber called Twaron with roughly the same chemical structure was introduced by Akzo in 1978, and now manufactured by Teijin.

Properties
When Kevlar is spun, the resulting fiber has great tensile strength (ca. 3 620 MPa), and a relative density of 1.44. When used as a woven material, it is suitable for mooring lines and other underwater applications.
There are three grades of Kevlar: (i) Kevlar, (ii) Kevlar 29, and (iii) Kevlar 49. Typically, Kevlar is used as reinforcement in tires and rubber mechanical goods. Kevlar 29's industrial applications are as cables, in asbestos replacement, brake linings, and body armor. Kevlar 49 has the greatest tensile strength of all the aramids, and is used in plastic reinforcement for boat hulls, airplanes, and bicycles. The ultraviolet light component of sunlight degrades and decomposes Kevlar, a problem known as UV degradation, and so it is rarely used outdoors without protection against sunlight.
Production
Kevlar is synthesised in solution from the monomers 1,4-phenylene-diamine (para-phenylenediamine) and terephthaloyl chloride in a condensation reaction yielding hydrochloric acid as a byproduct. The result has liquid-crystalline behaviour, and mechanical drawing orients the polymer chains in the fiber's direction. Hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) was the polymerization solvent first used, but toxicology tests demonstrated it provoked tumors in the noses of rats, so DuPont replaced it by a N-methyl-pyrrolidone and calcium chloride as the solvent. As this process was patented by Akzo (see above) in the production of Twaron, a patent war ensued.
Kevlar (poly paraphenylene terephthalamide) production is expensive because of the difficulties arising from using concentrated sulfuric acid, needed to keep the water-insoluble polymer in solution during its synthesis and spinning.
Chemical properties
Fibers of Kevlar consist of long molecular chains produced from PPTA (poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide). There are many inter-chain bonds making the material extremely strong. Kevlar derives part of its high strength from inter-molecular hydrogen bonds formed between the carbonyl groups and protons on neighboring polymer chains and the partial pi stacking of the benzenoid aromatic stacking interactions between stacked strands. These interactions have a greater influence on Kevlar than the van der Waals interactions and chain length that typically influence the properties of other synthetic polymers and fibers such as Dyneema. The presence of salts and certain other impurities, especially calcium, could interfere with the strand interactions and caution is used to avoid inclusion in its production. Kevlar's structure consists of relatively rigid molecules which tend to form mostly planar sheet-like structures rather like silk protein.
Thermal properties
For a polymer, Kevlar has very good resistance to high temperatures, and maintains its strength and resilience down to cryogenic temperatures (-196); indeed, it is slightly stronger at low temperatures.
At higher temperatures the tensile strength is immediately reduced by about 10-20%, and after some hours the strength progressively reduces further. For example at 160 about 10% reduction in strength occurs after 500 hours. At 260 50% strength reduction occurs after 70 hours.Kevlar
At 450 Kevlar sublimates.

Alton Crawford Walter Brown (born July 30, 1962 in Los Angeles, California, United States) is an American food personality, cinematographer, author, aircraft pilot, and actor. He is the creator and host of the Food Network television show Good Eats and the miniseries Feasting on Asphalt and Feasting on Waves, and he is the main commentator on Iron Chef America. Brown is also the author of several cooking how-to books and a regular contributor to Bon Appit and Men Journal magazines.[citation needed]
In November 2008, Brown became an advertising spokesperson for Welch's grape juice.
He brings a knowledge and enthusiasm for the science of cooking and food, and a humorous approach to his shows. Bon Appit magazine named him "Cooking Teacher of the Year" in 2004. He was named Best Food Guru by Atlanta magazine in 2005.
Brown pronounces his given name "Al-ton" (IPA: /??l.t?n/), rather than "All-ton" (IPA: /??l.t?n/).

Early career
Brown received a degree in drama from the University of Georgia. He began his career in cinematography and film production, and was the director of photography on the music video for R.E.M.'s "The One I Love." He has also worked as a steadicam operator on the Spike Lee film School Daze.
At some point, he noticed that he was very dissatisfied with the quality of cooking shows then airing on American television, so he set out to produce his own show. Not possessing the requisite knowledge, he enrolled in the New England Culinary Institute, graduating in 1997. Brown says that he was a poor science student in high school and college, and focused on the subject to understand the underlying processes of cooking.
Good Eats
Main article: Good Eats
The pilot for Good Eats first aired on the Chicago, Illinois, PBS member station WTTW-TV in July 1998. Food Network picked up the show in July 1999, and continues (as of 2009[update]) to air new episodes. Brown seems to take particular delight in making tongue-in-cheek references to pop culture, such as when he lectured an actor dressed as cartoon character Wimpy during an episode on hamburgers. (For trademark reasons, the surname was changed to "Whimpy.") He has made numerous references to Fight Club in reference to the cooking processes of lye, such as an episode in which he discussed the process of curing olives. Episode titles themselves include references, such as "Mission: Poachable", "It's a Wonderful Cake", and "My Big Fat Greek Sandwich." A Good Eats episode takes about three days to produce, according to the special episode "Behind the Eats."
Many of the Good Eats episodes feature Brown building makeshift cooking devices in order to point out that many of the devices sold at conventional "cooking" stores are simply fancified hardware store items that are sold at grossly inflated prices, and not much more effective than his "homemade" gizmos. For example, in the episode "Flat Is Beautiful", Brown uses a flat un-glazed quarry stone purchased at a hardware store as a substitute for a much more expensive pizza stone sold at a cooking specialty store. In an episode on barbecue, he made a barbecue smoker out of an electric hot plate, a pie pan, a flower pot (with basin), and a thermometer. He also used a similarly designed smoker in an episode entitled "Where There's Smoke There's Fish" to prepare a salmon. In an episode devoted to coleslaw called "Salad Daze II - The Long Arm of the Slaw", Brown makes a more convenient shredding device by attaching a cheese grater to a folded cardboard pizza box. In a contribution to Wired Magazine he described converting a paper shredder to function as a pasta machine. He has many times stated "You must think like MacGyver!" He has also expressed a penchant for items that are "multi-taskers" as opposed to "uni-taskers." For instance, in the episode "Choux Shine", he suggests that casual cooks should avoid purchasing a piping bag for applying a batter and instead use a plastic bag with a corner cut out. Brown repeatedly states that the only uni-tasker in his kitchen is a fire extinguisher.
There are a few exceptions: in his book, Alton Brown's Gear for Your Kitchen, he says that he also has a green bean cutter for his pet green iguana. In the episode "Raising the Bar", he uses a strainer, the only other use of which he can come up with is to make very small servings of pasta. In the episode "Olive Me", he...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about best coffee pot, espresso tea cups, . The Plastic Flask products should be show more here!

Basketball (ball)

2009-05-11T22:56:00.003-07:00

I want to introduct something about .

A typical basketball.
A basketball is an inflated ball used in the game of basketball. Basketballs typically range in size from very small promotional items possibly only a few inches in diameter to extra large balls nearly a foot in diameter used in training exercises to increase the skill of players.
Nearly all basketballs have an inflatable inner rubber bladder, generally wrapped in layers of fiber and then covered with a tacky surface made either from leather (traditional), rubber, or a synthetic composite. As in most inflatable balls, there is a small opening to allow the pressure to be increased or decreased.
The surface of the ball is nearly always divided by "ribs" that are recessed below the surface of the ball in a variety of configurations and are generally a contrasting color. An orange surface with black ribs and a possible logo is the traditional color scheme of basketballs but they are sold in various colors.
Balls are generally designated for indoor (generally made of leather or absorbent composites), or all-surface use (generally made of rubber or durable composites, also known as Indoor/Outdoor balls). Indoor balls tend to be considerably more expensive than all-surface balls due to cost of materials. In addition, brand new all-leather indoor balls must be "broken in" first to achieve optimal grip before use in competition. The abrasiveness of asphalt and the dirt and moisture generally present in an outdoor setting will usually ruin an indoor ball within a very short period of time, which is why an indoor/outdoor ball is recommended for recreational players.
Aside from the court and the baskets, the basketball is the only piece of equipment necessary to play the game of basketball. During the game, the ball must be bounced continuously (dribbling), thrown through the air to other players (passing) and towards the basket (shooting). Therefore, the ball must be very durable and easy to hold on to. The basketball is also used to perform tricks (sometimes called freestyling), the most common of which are spinning the ball on the tip of one's index finger, dribbling in complex patterns, rolling the ball over one's shoulder, or performing aerobatic maneuvers with the ball while executing a slam dunk, most notably in the context of a slam dunk contest.

History
In early December 1891, the chairman of the physical education department at the School for Christian Workers (now Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts, instructed physical education teacher James Naismith, known to many as the inventor of basketball, to invent a new game to entertain the school's athletes in the winter season. Naismith assembled his class of 18 young men, appointed captains of two nine-player teams, and set in motion the first ever basketball game, played with a soccer ball and two peach baskets tacked to either end of the gymnasium. The first purpose-built basketballs were made from panels of leather stitched together with a rubber bladder inside. A cloth lining was added to the leather for support and uniformity (identity). A molded version of the early basketball was invented in 1942. From 1967 through 1976, the American Basketball Association (ABA) used a distinctive red, white and blue basketball that is still seen from time to time. For many years, leather was the material of choice for basketball coverings, however in the late 1990s, composite materials were put forth and have rapidly gained acceptance in most leagues due to their superior performance in harsh game conditions. A survey in 2007 showed that there were approximately 300 million basketballs in the United States.
Modern-Day Specifications
Organized basketball leagues generally have very rigorous specifications for the balls to be used in official competition including weight, inflation pressure, bounce, circumference, color, and materials used. Most leagues use very similar specifications for their balls which are referred to as size 7 (for men's competition) and size 6 (for women's competition) by manufacturers. However the specific wording and policy on manufacturers vary between leagues. Here are the official specifications for three popular leagues:
The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) has very strict criteria for its certified basketballs: The ball must be size 7, bear the name of the manufacturer and a serial number. It must be made of either genuine or artificial/synthetic leather and must be free of toxic materials and materials which may cause allergic reactions, and must also be free of heavy metals and AZO colors, though FIBA does not specify a specific color for the ball. It must be between 749 millimeters (mm)...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about compact sewing machine, power supply diagram, .

Overdriving a fluorescent lamp is a method of getting more light from each tube than is obtained under rated conditions. It involves taking the light fixture apart and rewiring the insides.
ODNO (Overdriven Normal Output) fluorescent tubes are generally used when there isn't enough room to put in more bulbs to increase the light. The method is effective, but generates some additional issues.
This technique has become popular among aquatic gardeners as a cost effective way to add more light to their aquariums. While power compact fluorescent lights cost upwards of $60-100 in the US, a twin bulb ODNO light can be set up for $30.

Terminology
Tube drive is described as 1x, 2x, 3x or 4x. However this is not a measure of the power consumed, but rather comes from the practice of parallelling anything up to 4 ballast outputs. 4x operation is in the region of twice rated power.
Ballasts
Electronic ballasts are usually used for this as they use regulation, protection and current sharing circuitry, enabling them to work in some poorly designed lighting configurations.
Electronic
There are 2 main methods of overdriving with electronic ballasts:
Higher power ballast
The ballast is replaced with a higher rated power ballast, and the circuit tweaked to reduce filament current back to normal value.
This is a relatively safe and reliable method, but overdriving by any method brings several safety issues that must still be addressed.
Parallel ballast outputs
This parallels the outputs of a multi-tube electronic ballast with current limiting.
This approach brings reliability issues, and with ballasts lacking current limiting also fire risk issues, but is popular nonetheless.
Each electronic ballast normally drives either two or four tubes. The ballasts are wired with their outputs in parallel such that a normal two-tube ballast drives a single tube; a four-tube ballast drives either one or two tubes. This re-wiring increases the amount of current the ballast will supply each tube, resulting in increased light output.
Usually extra ballasts are put into the fixture and wired to the sockets the original ballast is no longer powering. For instance, a four-tube fixture with a ballast re-wired to drive two tubes will have a second ballast similarly wired to drive the other two sockets.
The reasons paralleled electronic ballasts work are:
recent US ballasts use current mode programmed control to limit their output (based on legislation for energy efficiency passed in 1992 in the United States), which causes current sharing
the ballasts usually use a resonant output stage, causing synchronisation and quite good isochronation of the 2 or more ballasts.
Identical ballasts are always used when parallelling. Parallelling of ballasts with different design frequencies or starting methods would be a recipe for failure and fire.
Magnetic
Magnetic ballasts also work well, but they lack the inbuilt control and protection of their electronic counterparts, so an ill designed circuit is more likely to destroy ballast or tube. Correct design and wiring is necessary.
The 2 methods used are use of a single higher power ballast and parallelling ballasts. Paralleled magnetic ballasts require correct connection polarity to avoid ballast destruction.
Filament current
Most fluorescent lighting ballasts deliver filament current to preheat the tube before striking. Higher power ballasts (whether single or paralleled) deliver higher filament current, which cause premature tube failure and risk of glass shattering in use.
Some filament current should therefore be shunted away from the tube filaments to avoid filament overheating, with consequent safety risks. This is done with any of:
power resistors across each filament (for any ballast type)
in switch start ballasts, with an additional inductor ballast in series with the starter to reduce current to normal during starting.
As above but using a capacitor for this. But this generates design issues beyond most users, and is not to be tried without addressing the issues in the design first. Failure to take heed of this is liable to cause a fire. (See safety section.)

The three biggest cultural influences on the island of Basilan are derived from the native Yakan, the Tausug and the Chavacano. Both Yakans and Tausugs are predominantly Muslim, while Chavacanos are primarily Christian. These three groups represent Basilan's tri-people community.
Yakan

The island is the homeland of the Yakans, a Filipino tribe widely regarded as having been descended from Orang Dampuans (Orang Dyaks, Tagihamas) of Eastern Indonesia, and recognized for their colorful costume.
The Yakan have designs or motifs used repeatedly in all their visual arts and crafts. The pussuk labbung is a sawtooth design used for cloth baskets and the native sword called kris. The bunga sama, used for table runners, monuments for the dead and on trunks, is a symmetrical design made of rectangular-shaped figures. The kabban buddi is a set of triangles, squares, and other geometric shapes used for cushions, pillows, casings, mats, and hats. The baggang kettan combines incised triangles and rectangles, and is used to decorate the kris. The ukil lagbas consists of a combination of various lines - wavy, crossed-wavy, and straight - used on shirts, windows of houses, and boats (Sherfan 1976:210-211).
Weapons such as knives and swords are part of the Yakan's visual arts. The punnyal is a small knife, which can be hidden within one's clothing. The barong is carried with pride since it is a symbol of strength and is also acceptable as bride wealth. The taming is the traditional shield used along with two types of spears, the budjak and the sankil, now used only in war dances. The bangkung is another type of bolo seldom used nowadays. The pira is a traditional weapon used by little boys when going on a long journey. The barong and the kris, although popular, are less valuable or admired among the Yakan (Sherfan 1976:156-160).
Yakan visual arts includes Yakan kitchen utensils and household implements. Metal ware includes the talam, a beautifully decorated bronze tray, and the sanduk or ladle used for special occasions. Yakan basketry is both colorful and functional. The tutop is a food cover made of bamboo leaves. The peliyuk is a clay jar with cover used for cooking. The baling is a decorative clay jar treasured as heirloom. The kombo is a lidded container for rice storage. A lakal is a bamboo frame used to hold the cooking gadget when placed on the ground. The tempipih is a big basket carried on the back. A conical basket called the saan is used as a liquid strainer.
Baskets are also used to measure and weigh. The gantang is bigger than the government ganta. The batil measures nine gantang. The laga is 10 gantang. The ilug is 30 gantang. The lukung is equivalent to 100 gantang. An example of Yakan pottery is the poga, a covered clay jar used as water container (Sherfan 1976:201-204).

Yakan cloth on display at the Isabela City Pasalubong Center and at the Lami-Lamihan Yakan Center in Lamitan, Basilan
Yakan women are excellent weavers, and are famous for their beautifully woven traditional costumes of cotton and pineapple cloth. The basic garment for men and women consists of a tight-fitting upper garment with tight-fitting trousers called sawal. The shirt is open in front from lapel down to the waist, using up to 40 sequined or golden buttons. To close the shirt, a long string is crisscrossed from one button to the other so that when tightly drawn, the shirt closes from top to bottom. Usually the shirt remains open since the string is often lost. Over the shirt, male and female wear a tight-fitting jacket, which is exquisitely embroidered in the front and back, with cuffs decorated with multicolored sequins.
The difference in male and female apparel lies in accessories. Men wear a hand woven pis (head cloth) and a 15m-long kandit (belt or sash) made of red cloth called gilim. The pis serves as "protection" from spears and knives during combat, and may be fastened around the trousers. The women wear a short skirt over the trousers, around which a rectangular, hand woven cloth is tied. This cloth is the most expensive part of their costume because it is woven in a tedious manner. Men and women wear the saruk, the Yakan hat worn to make one look more attractive and elegant. Some wear the hat over the turban and use it as a purse for betel nuts, tobacco, and money. Yakan warriors wear a bullet proof shirt prepared by hadjis and imams who write Arabic script all-over the shirt (Sherfan 1976:160, 205-207).
Ornaments such as necklaces may be worn as charms. A crocodile tooth polished with a hole at the base is believed to bring good luck when worn as a necklace. The Yakan also wear amulets against bullets. These contain unreadable symbols, are wrapped in black cloth, sewn in triangular form, and tied around the neck. Belts made of snake bones are strung together to protect them...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about crystal bridal necklace, faceted gemstone beads, .

The Disrupters are a British anarchist punk band who formed in late 1980. Originally influenced by the early punk bands of the late 70s (The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, The Clash etc) the band were eventually drawn to the anarchist scene.
Things started early for The Disrupters with Crass including an early demo version of the song "Napalm" on their 1st "Bullshit Detector" LP (1980). In 1981 the band entered Whitehouse Studios in Norwich to record their 1st real recording session. The 3 tracks laid down that day became the "Young Offender" 7". The record was a surprise hit in the indie charts and far outsold the bands expectations. This initial release began a working relationship with Backs Records in the running of Radical Change Records, a label dedicated to the promotion of punk/anarchist bands.
Initially The Disrupters had a few problems finding the right combo of band members, some of whom were musically inept but from 1983-88 they settled with founder members Bangkok Steve(Hansell) (vocals) and Kevin Wymer (drums) along with Paul Greener (guitar), Steve Hough (bass) and Prem Nick (spoken word contributions). The band liked to mix actions with words and were actively involved in various elements of direct action, sometimes ending in arrest and court appearances. The Disrupters called it a day in late 1988, disillusioned with the ever growing division and bitching within the scene. Bangkok Steve initiated the breakup by quitting to concentrate on other things and the rest of the band followed suit.
Following a long break from playing in bands, original band member Kevin Wymer re-surfaced in the 21st century with punk/metal band Saigon Kiss whilst Bangkok Steve was drafted in to front the Ramones cover band version of the New York Scumhaters.
The Disrupters have since reformed in 2007 with original members Bangkok Steve, Kevin Wymer and Prem Nick plus new guitarist Steve Hardy (Saigon Kiss/Deep Decay) and Mash (Saigon Kiss) on bass. Early gigs with this new version of the band included a supporting slot on the bill at Steve Ignorant's controversial "Feeding Of The 5000" weekend at London's Shepherds Bush Empire. Murmurs from the Disrupters camp indicate they are currently working on new material with new drummer Rob Hedge for a future CD release.

A trio of lambs.

An auto sheep drafter offers a more accurate and less labour intensive method to weigh, draft and record sheep information.
The raising of domestic sheep has existed in nearly every inhabited part of the globe, and the variations in cultures and languages which have kept sheep has produced a vast lexicon of unique terminology used to describe sheep husbandry. A few of the more major terms include:
Backliner an externally applied medicine, applied along the backline of a freshly-shorn sheep to control lice or other parasites. In the British Isles called "pour-on".
Bale a wool pack containing a specified weight of wool as regulated by industry authorities.
Bellwether originally an experienced wether given a bell to lead a flock; now mainly used figuratively for a person acting as a lead and guide.
Black wool Any wool that is not white, but not necessarily black.
Bottle lamb or cade lamb an orphan lamb reared on a bottle. Also "poddy lamb" or "pet lamb".
Boxed when different mobs of sheep are mixed.
Break a marked thinning of the fleece, producing distinct weakness in one part of the staple.
Broad wool which is on the strong side for its quality number, or for its type.
Butt an underweight bale of greasy wool in a standard wool pack.
Cast unable to regain footing, possibly due to lying in a hollow with legs facing uphill and/or having a heavy fleece. See also "riggwelter".
CFA or cast for age sheep culled because of their age. Also see "cull ewe".
Clip all the wool from a flock (in Australian Wool Classing).
Clipping cutting off the wool: see shearing.
Comeback the progeny of a mating of a Merino with a British longwool sheep.
Crimp the natural wave formation seen in wool. Usually the closer the crimps, the finer the wool.
Cull ewe a ewe no longer suitable for breeding, and sold for meat.

Plunge dipping sheep
Crutching shearing parts of a sheep (especially the hind end of some woollier breeds such as Merino), to prevent fly-strike. Also see "dagging".
Cut-out the completion of shearing a flock.
Dags clumps of dried dung stuck to the wool of a sheep, which may lead to fly-strike. (Hence "rattle your dags!", meaning "hurry up!", especially used in New Zealand.)
Dagging clipping off dags. Also see "crutching".
Devil's Grip a serious conformation defect, appearing as a depression behind the withers.
Dewlap the upper fold under the neck of a Merino sheep.
Dipping immersing sheep in a plunge or shower dip to kill external parasites. Backliners are now replacing dipping.
Downs breeds of sheep belonging to the short wool group.
Draft ewe a ewe too old for rough grazing (such as moorland), "drafted" (selected) out of the flock to move to better grazing, usually on another farm. Generally spelt "draft", but in British Isles either as "draft" or "draught".

Drenching Merino hoggets
Drench an oral veterinary medicine administered by a drenching gun (usually an anthelmintic).
Driving or droving walking animals from one place to another.
Earmark a distinctive mark clipped out of the ear (or sometimes a tattoo inside the ear) to denote ownership and/or age.
Ear tag plastic or metal tag clipped to ear, with identification number or name.
Ewe (pronounced /ju?/) a female sheep capable of producing lambs. In areas where "gimmer" or similar terms are used for young females, may refer to a female only after her first lamb. In some areas "yow".
Fleece the wool covering of a sheep.
Flock a group of sheep (or goats). All the sheep on a property (in Australian Wool Classing); also all the sheep in a region or country. Sometimes called herd or mob.
Flushing providing especially nutritious feed in the few weeks before mating to improve fertility, or in the period before birth to increase lamb birth-weight.
Flushing (eggs/embryo) removing unfertilised or fertilised egg from an animal; often as part of an embryo transfer procedure.
Fold (or sheepfold) a pen in which a flock is kept overnight to keep the sheep safe from predators, or to allow the collection of dung for manure.
Folding confining sheep (or other livestock) onto a restricted area for feeding, such as a temporarily fenced part of a root crop field, especially when done repeatedly onto a sequence of areas.
Foot rot infectious pododermatitis, a painful hoof disease commonly found in sheep (also goats and cattle), especially when pastured on damp ground.
Gimmer (pronounced /?g?m?/, not /?d??m?/) a young female sheep, usually before her first lamb (especially used in the north of England and Scotland). Also "theave".

History
In 1871, Simon Ingersoll founded Ingersoll Rock Drill Company. In 1905 Ingersoll-Sargeant Drill Company merged with the Rand Drill Company to form Ingersoll Rand. Ingersoll Rand has largely grown by acquisition since that time.
In October 2001 shareholders voted to move the company's incorporation to Bermuda to capitalize on the savings on U.S. corporate income taxes on products sold overseas. Moving the company on paper cost only $27,000 USD per year, with a tax savings estimated at $40 million USD.[citation needed] See tax haven.
The company's executive offices were moved from Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey to neighbouring Montvale, New Jersey in 2004.
In July 2004, the Drilling Solutions business of Ingersoll Rand was sold to Atlas Copco. In May 2007 the company announced it was looking into a sale or spin-off of its Bobcat, utility equipment, and attachments divisions. With this divestiture, Ingersoll Rand will be left with the Industrial Technologies, Climate Control Technologies, and Security Technologies sectors. This would complete the transformation from the diversified machinery label to a diversified industrial company.
In February 2007, Volvo, a Swedish truck and construction equipment manufacturer, announced its agreement to buy the road construction equipment division of Ingersoll-Rand for $1.3 billion in cash to expand its operations in the U.S. The road unit manufactures and sells asphalt paving equipment, compaction equipment, milling machines and construction-related material handling equipment and generated net revenues of approximately $850 million for 2006. The sale includes manufacturing facilities in Pennsylvania, Germany, China and India, as well as 20 distribution and service facilities in the U.S. The business employs approximately 2,000 people worldwide.[citation needed]
On July 30, 2007, Ingersoll Rand announced that the utility and attachment businesses had been sold to Doosan Infracore, part of the South Korean chaebol Doosan, for USD $4.9 billion.
On December 17, 2007, Ingersoll Rand announced that an offer to purchase HVAC supplier, Trane, in a stock and cash transaction. The purchase was approved by Trane's stockholders, and the unit became a part of the Climate Control Technologies business, which is divided into commercial and residential business units, each reporting directly to the Chairman.

Abramelin oil

I want to introduct something about Globe Bottle. Place of Origin: China We can supply Christmas snow globe gifts, glass balls, promotion gifts, inflatable toys, holiday gifts, and inflatable cans.
Abramelin oil, also called Oil of Abramelin, is a ceremonial magical oil blended from aromatic plant materials. Its name came about due to its having been described in a medieval grimoire called The Book of Abramelin written by Abraham the Jew. The recipe is adapted from the Jewish Holy Oil of the Tanakh, which is described in the Book of Exodus attributed to Moses.
Abramelin oil experienced new popularity beginning in the 20th century due to several well-known occultists, especially S. L. MacGregor Mathers thanks to his English translation of the book, and Aleister Crowley, who used a similar version of the oil in his system of Magick. There are multiple recipes in use today and the oil continues to be used in several modern occult traditions, including Thelema and the gnostic church, Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica.

Ingredients and methods of preparation
There are, especially among English-speaking occultists, numerous variant forms of Abramelin Oil.
Abramelin oil
In the English translation by Steven Guth of Georg Dehn's edition, which was compiled from all the known German manuscript sources, the formula reads as follows:
Take one part of the best myrrh, half a part of cinnamon, one part of cassia, one part galanga root, and a quarter of the combined total weight of good, fresh olive oil. Make these into an ointment or oil as is done by the chemists. Keep it in a clean container until you need it. Put the container together with the other accessories in the cupboard under the altar.
Guth's translation of the recipe may be incorrect. The German sources clearly list "Calmus" or "Kalmus". Guth has translated these as "galanga root". Taking this into account, the five ingedients listed by Abraham of Worms in The Book of Abramelin are identical to those listed in the Bible. Only the proportions are slightly different (one-half versus one part of calamus).
In the first printed edition, Peter Hammer, 1725, the recipe reads:
Nimm Mhrrhen des besten 1 Theil, Zimmt 1/2 Theil, soviel des Calmus als Zimmet, Cassien soviel als der Myrrhen im Gewicht und gutes frisches Baum?l..." (Take 1 part of the best myrrh, 1/2 part cinnamon, as much calamus as cinnamon, of cassia as much as the myrrh in weight and good fresh tree oil...)
Note that the proportions in this edition have been changed to conform with the recipe for Holy anointing oil from the Bible:
Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred [shekels], and of sweet cinnamon half so much, [even] two hundred and fifty [shekels], and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty [shekels], And of cassia five hundred [shekels], after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin: And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compounded after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.
Samuel Mathers' Abramelin oil
According to the S.L. MacGregor Mathers English translation, which derives from an incomplete French manuscript copy of the book, the recipe is:
You shall prepare the sacred oil in this manner: Take of myrrh in tears, one part; of fine cinnamon, two parts; of galangal half a part; and the half of the total weight of these drugs of the best oil olive. The which aromatics you shall mix together according unto the art of the apothecary, and shall make thereof a balsam, the which you shall keep in a glass vial which you shall put within the cupboard (formed by the interior) of the altar.
The four ingredients listed by Mathers in his translation of The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage are Myrrh, Cinnamon, Galangal, and Olive oil. The word that he translated from the French as "Galangal" is actually the word "Calamus." The other extant manuscripts also list "Calamus" as the ingredient. It is unknown if Mathers' use of Galangal instead of Calamus was intentional or a mistranslation, but it was to result in several notable changes, including symbolism and use.
Since Cinnamon and Cassia are two species of the same Cinnamomum genus, their doubling up into one name by the translator of the French manuscript is not unexpected. His reasons for doing so may have been prompted by a pious decision to avoid duplicating true Holy Oil, or by a tacit...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about coffee k cups, new flower pot, .

Wall closet in a residential house in the U.S.

A hundred years old closet
A closet (especially in North American usage) is a small and enclosed space, a cabinet, or a cupboard in a house or building used for general storage or hanging clothes. A closet for food storage is usually referred to as a pantry. A closet, through French from Latin clausum, "closed" began life in the seventeenth century as a small private room, often behind a bedroom, to which a man or woman could retire, for privacy, reading, or enjoyment of personal works of art: for this usage, see Cabinet (architecture).
Modern closets can be built into the walls of the house during construction so that they take up no apparent space in the bedroom, or they can be a large, free-standing piece of furniture designed for clothes storage, in which case they are often called a wardrobe or armoire. Closets are often built under stairs, thereby using awkward space that would otherwise go unused. In current British usage, a "wardrobe" can also be built-in, and the word "cupboard" can be used to refer to a closet. In Elizabethan and Middle English, closet referred to a larger room in which a person could sit and read in private, but now refers to a small room in general. In Indian usage, a closet often refers to a toilet. This probably originated from the word water closet, which refers to a flush toilet.
In North America, chests, trunks and wall-mounted pegs typically provided storage prior to World War II. Built-in wall closets were uncommon and where they did exist, they tended to be small and shallow. Following World War II, however, deeper, more generously sized closets were introduced to new housing designs, which proved to be very attractive to buyers. It has even been suggested that the closet was a major factor in peoples' migration to the suburbs.

Closet tax question in colonial America
Though some sources claim that colonial American houses often lacked closets because of a "closet tax" imposed by the British crown, others argue that closets were absent in most houses simply because their residents had few possessions.
Closets in pop culture
Figuratively, a closet is a place where one hides things; "having skeletons in one's closet" is a figure of speech for having particularly sensitive secrets. Thus, closet as an adjective means secretsually with a connotation of vice or shame, as in "a closet alcoholic" or "a closet homosexual," though sometimes used as a humorous exaggeration for any potential embarrassment, as in "a closet comic book fan." To "come out of the closet" is to admit your secrets publicly, but this is now used almost exclusively in reference to homosexuality. The documentary The Celluloid Closet uses this reference to gay people in its examination of how Hollywood films have depicted homosexuals on the screen. This is also extensively used in a controversial episode of South Park.
Psychologically, bedroom closets are the center of many childhood fears. Children fear during the night that a monster or any other paranormal creature hides inside the closet, and is destined to frighten the child. The Bogeyman is one prominent example. This is a common theme in films. In the first of the Poltergeist movies, the closet was the area of the family house the ghosts hid in to kidnap the child. And the "monster in the closet" fear was developed for comedic possibilities in film Monsters, Inc., in which monsters teleport into children's closets at night from a central location in order to scare them as a means of collecting screams, which run the monster economy. In the newspaper comic Bloom County, the character Binkley had an "anxiety closet" in his bedroom, from which his fears would manifest themselves, while he was sleeping. For example, a librarian wielding a battle-axe, which then struck the headboard of his bed, attacked due to an overdue library book. Similarly, Opus the penguin from the Sunday strip Opus also has a closet which houses his worries.
Types of closets
Broom closet: A narrow floor-to-ceiling space for the storage of lengthy items. To come out of the Broom closet = To admit to being a witch
Coat closet: A coat closet is a closet of a house where people store their hoods, jackets and coats. A coat closet is typically located in the entryway, so that it is close to the front door.
Linen closet: A tall, narrow closet, typically located in or near bathrooms and/or bedrooms. Such a closet contains shelves used to hold towels, washcloths,...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about hard wood furniture, bathroom floor cabinets, .

(Redirected from Drilling and threading)
Drilling is the cutting process of using a drill bit in a drill to cut or enlarge holes in solid materials, such as wood or metal. Different tools and methods are used for drilling depending on the type of material, the size of the hole, the number of holes, and the time to complete the operation.
Drilling is a cutting process in which a hole is originated or enlarged by means of a multipoint, fluted, end cutting tool. As the drill is rotated and advanced into the workpiece, material is removed in the form of chips that move along the fluted shank of the drill. One study showed that drilling accounts for nearly 90% of all chips produced.

Process Characteristics
-Cutting tools or workpieces are rotated relative to each other.
-Creates or enlarges holes.
-Generates small burrs upon entry and more coarse burrs upon exit of the workpiece.
-Uses a multi-point rotating, fluted, end cutting tool (drill).
-May produce coarse, helical feed marks, depending on machining parameters (feed, speed, tool geometry, coolant, etc.)
Drilling may affect the mechanical properties of the workpiece by creating low residual stresses around the hole opening and a very thin layer of highly stressed and disturbed material on the newly formed surface. This causes the workpiece to become more susceptible to corrosion at the stressed surface.
Process Schematic
Drilling involves relative axial and rotations between the drill and the workpiece. Usually, the drill rotates and proceeds into the workpiece, but sometimes the opposite is true. Chips are removed by following along grooves of flutes in the drill. Although long spiral chips usually result from drilling,adjustment of the feed rate can result in chips with a range of many different shapes and sizes. Material of workpiece can also chane the range of different chip shapes and sizes.
Workpiece Geometry
A drilled hole may be distinguished from one produced by piercing, casting, molding, torch cutting, etc. by the presence of helical feed marks inside the hole and small burrs on the workpiece as the drill enters and exits. Drilled holes are usually sharp around the edge where the drill has entered the workpiece.
Machining operations for drilling
Some of the basic drilling operations are:
a) Reaming - to provide better tolerance of its diameter and to improve surface finish.
b) Tapping - to provide internal screw threads on an existing hole.
c) Counterboring - to provide a step hole in which a larger diameter follows a smaller diameter partially into a hole.
d) Countersinking - similar to counterboring but the step in the hole is cone-shaped.
e) Centering - creating a hole to accurately establish its location for subsequent drilling.
f) Spotfacing - similar to milling where it is used to provide a flat machined surface on the workpiece in the localized area.
Setup and Equipment
The drill press includes a drill head, Table, column, and base. A drill bit is gripped firmly in the chuck, and the piece is positioned on the table. The drill head contains a drive motor, a spindle, a feed mechanism, and a tool holding mechanism(chuck). The drill is advanced into the workpiece by the feed mechanism. Regular shaped workpieces are held in a workholding device. Irregular shaped workpieces are held in special fixtures.
Tool Style
Different jobs require different types of drills, that is why there are so many different drill types in many different shapes and sizes. Countersink or center drills are mainly used to center holes very accurately. A more common drill is the twist drill, a drill that produces a majority of drilled holes. Some specialty drills include subland, spade, and indexable drills.
Toolholding Methods
Drills are either straight shank or taper shank. Straight...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about motorcycle scan tool, horse nose bit, . The Massage Hammer LC-2002E ( CE, ROHS) products should be show more here!

Comparison to Nautilus
Seawolf was technologically more advanced than her predecessor, USS Nautilus (SSN-571). Carrying a superheated steam powerplant, rather than a traditional saturated steam plant, reduced the size of the machinery spaces nearly 40%. Her liquid-sodium cooled reactor was more efficient than a water-cooled one, and quieter, but posed several safety hazards for the ship and crew. The phrase "Blue Haze" was often associated with the boat, even though there was only one sodium coolant leak ever noted, and that was while she was fitting out in the yards.
Although fully armed, Seawolf, like the first nuclear submarine, Nautilus, was primarily an experimental vessel. Seawolf was originally thought of publicly as a 'hunter-killer' sub, but in fact was intended to be a one off test platform for the LMSR reactor and future sonar platforms. Her future uses, however, would include covert operations in foreign waters, the likes of which were never envisioned by Admiral Rickover.
Initial construction
Seawolf's keel was laid down 7 September 1953 by the Electric Boat division of General Dynamics Corporation in Groton, Connecticut. She was launched on 21 July 1955 sponsored by Mrs. W. Sterling Cole, and commissioned on 30 March 1957 with Commander R.B. Laning in command.

USS Seawolf
Like all of the original nuclear subs, the project manager at Electric Boat was the General Manager of the company, in this case, the ubiquitous Bill Jones. During the parallel construction of the first nuclear submarines, the Navy, the Atomic Energy Commission, its independent labs, and the shipyard all worked together to learn together.
For the yard, the Power Plant Project manager was a separate function on these original nukes. Dennis B. BoykinIII would lead EB's power plant installation, and return to the project two years later for the conversion. His counterpart at the Office of Naval Reactors, Gardner Brown, did the same.
Lieutenant James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, the only U.S. President to qualify in submarines, was to be her Engineering Officer, but had resigned his commission upon the death of his father in 1953.
19571959

USS Seawolf
Seawolf departed New London, Connecticut, on 2 April for her shakedown cruise off Bermuda and returned on 8 May. Between 16 May and 5 August, she made two voyages to Key West and participated in intensive training exercises. On 3 September, she steamed across the North Atlantic to participate in NATO exercises. The submarine surfaced off Newport, Rhode Island, on 25 September after cruising 6,331 nonstop miles. The next day, President of the United States Dwight D. Eisenhower embarked and was taken for a short cruise onboard her.
Seawolf cruised to the Caribbean Sea for an exercise in November. In December, she began an availability period that lasted until 6 February 1958. She then participated in exercises along the east coast until early August.
Seawolf submerged on 7 August and did not surface again until 6 October. During this period, she logged over 13,700 nautical miles (25,400 km). She received the Navy Unit Commendation for demonstrating the ability of the nuclear-powered submarine to remain independent of the earth's atmosphere for the period of a normal war patrol.
Seawolf returned to Electric Boat Company in Groton, Connecticut, on 12 December 1958, for conversion of her power plant from a S2G sodium-cooled LMFR to a S2Wa PWR. She was out of commission until 30 September 1960. The Office of Naval Reactors had determined that the one-off superheated steam powerplant was too difficult to maintain, since the...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about shields pvc tubing, hdpe fabricated fitting, .

Adze

Drawing of a man using an adze on a felled tree
An adze or adz (pronounced /?dz/) is a tool used for smoothing rough-cut wood in hand woodworking. Generally, the user stands astride a board or log and swings the adze downwards towards their feet, chipping off pieces of wood, moving backwards as they go and leaving a relatively smooth surface behind. Adzes are most often used for squaring up logs, or for hollowing out timber.
The adze is also a tool of choice for building wreckers, laborers who dismantle old buildings by hand for salvage. The single tool can serve all the needs of deconstruction with proper use.
The blade of an adze is set at right angles to the tool's shaft (like a hoe or plane), unlike the blade of an axe which is set in line with the shaft.

History
Europe
In central Europe, adzes made by knapping flint are known from the late Mesolithic onwards ("Scheibenbeile"). Polished adzes and axes made of ground stone, like amphibolite, basalt or Jadeite are typical for the Neolithic period. Shoe-last adzes or celts, named for their typical shape, are found in the Linearbandkeramic and R?ssen cultures of the early Neolithic. Adzes were also made and used by prehistoric southeast Asian cultures, especially in the Mekong River basin.
Egypt
The adze is shown in Egypt from the Old Kingdom onward. Originally the adze blades were made of stone, but already in the Predynastic Period copper adzes had all but replaced those made of flint. While stone blades were fastened to the wooden handle by tying, metal blades had sockets into which the handle was fitted. Examples of Egyptian adzes can be found in museums and on the Petrie Museum website.
A depiction of an adze was also used as a hieroglyph, representing the consonants stp.
The ahnetjer, Manuel de Codage transliteration: aH-nTr, depicted as an adze-like instrument, was used in the Opening of the Mouth ceremony, intended to convey power over their senses to statues and mummies. It was apparently the foreleg of a freshly sacrificed bull or cow with which the mouth was touched.
New Zealand
Prehistoric M?ori adzes from New Zealand, used for wood carving, were made from nephrite, also known as jade. At the same time on Henderson Island, a small atoll in Polynesia lacking any rock other than limestone, natives fashioned giant clamshells into adzes.
Northwest Coast America
American Northwest coast natives traditionally used adzes for both functional construction (from bowls to canoes) and art (from masks to totem poles). Northwest coast adzes take two forms, hafted and D-handle. The hafted form is similar in form to a European adze with the haft constructed from a natural crooked branch which approximately forms a 60% angle. The thin end is used as the handle and the thick end is flattened and notched such that an adze iron can be lashed to it. Modern hafts are sometimes constructed from a sawed blank with a dowel added for strength at the crook. The second form is the D-handle adze which is basically an adze iron with a directly-attached handle. The D-handle therefore provides no mechanical leverage. Northwest coast adzes are often classified by size and iron shape vs. role. As with European adzes, iron shapes include straight, gutter and lipped. Where larger Northwest adzes are similar in size to their European counterparts, the smaller sizes are typically much lighter such that they can be used for the detailed smoothing, shaping and surface texturing required for figure carving. Final surfacing is sometimes performed with a crooked knife.
Modern adzes
Modern adzes are made from steel with wooden handles, and some people still use them extensively: occasionally those in semi-industrial areas, but particularly 'revivalists' such as those at the Colonial Williamsburg cultural center in Virginia, USA. However, the traditional adze has largely been replaced by the sawmill and the powered-plane, at least in industrialized cultures. It remains in use for some specialist crafts, for example by coopers. Adzes are also in current use by artists such as Northwest Coast American and Canadian Indian sculptors doing pole work, masks and bowls.
"Adze" was frequently mentioned by William F. Buckley as one of the most obscure words in the English language.
One of the most common tools used in the fire service today is the Halligan bar. This is a multipurpose pry-bar used most commonly in forcible entry of a structure. One end of the Halligan bar is called the adze end. It has an adze along with a 4-inch spike on one end and the other...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about wholesale czech glass, pure white glass, .

Vietnamese Water Puppets
A puppet is an inanimate object or representational figure animated or manipulated by a puppeteer. It is usually (but by no means always) a depiction of a human character, and is used in puppetry, a play or a presentation that is a very ancient form of theatre. The puppet undergoes a process of transformation through being animated, and is normally manipulated by at least one puppeteer.
There are many different varieties of puppets, and they are made of a wide range of materials, depending on their form and intended use. They can be extremely complex or very simple in their construction. They may even be found objects. As Oscar Wilde wrote, "There are many advantages in puppets. They never argue. They have no crude views about art. They have no private lives". David Currell has said "A puppet is not an actor and a puppet theatre is not human theatre in miniature, because when an actor 'represents', a puppet 'is'". .

Puppet Types
Puppetry by its nature is a flexible and inventive medium, and many puppet companies work with combinations of puppet forms, and incorporate real objects into their performances. So a bought corkscrew can become a dancer puppet; or they incorporate 'performing objects' such as torn paper for snow, or a sign board with words as narrative devices within a production. The following are, alphabetically, the basic and conventional forms of puppet:
Black light puppet - A form of puppetizing where the puppets are operated on a stage lit only with ultraviolet lighting, which both hides the puppeteer and accentuates the colours of the puppet. The puppeteers perform dressed in black against a black background, with the background and costume normally made of black velvet. The puppeteers manipulate the puppets into the light, while they position themselves unseen against the black unlit background. Puppets of all sizes and types are able to be used, and glow in a powerful and magical way. The original concept of this form of puppetry can be traced to Bunraku puppetry.
Bunraku puppet Bunraku puppets are a type of wood-carved puppet originally made to stand out through torch illumination. Developed in Japan over a thousand years ago and formalised and combined with shamisen music at the end of the 16th century, the puppeteers dress to remain neutral against a black background, although their presence as kind of 'shadow' figures adds a mysterious power to the puppet. Bunraku traditionally uses three puppeteers to operate a puppet that is close to half life-size.
Carnival or Body puppet - usually designed to be part of a large spectacle. These are often used in parades (such as the Minneapolis, USA May Day Parade) and demonstrations, and are at least the size of a human and often much larger. One or more performers are required to move the body and limbs. In parades the appearance and personality of the person inside is not relevant to the spectator. These puppets are particularly associated with large scale entertainment, such as the nightly parades at various Disney complexes around the world. Similar puppets were designed by Julie Taymor for The Lion King, derived in part from the parade tradition.
Big Bird from Sesame Street is a classic example of a Body puppet. The puppeteer is enclosed within the costume, and will extend their right hand over the head to operate the head and neck of the puppet. The puppeteer's left hand serves as the Bird's left hand, while the right hand is stuffed and hangs loosely from a fishing line (which can occasionally be seen in closeup shots) that runs through a loop under the neck and attaches to the wrist of the left hand. The right hand thus does the opposite of the left hand: as the left hand goes down, the right hand is pulled up by the fishing line.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chez - human carnival puppet
Chinface puppet - A type of puppet in which the puppet features are drawn on, and otherwise attached to, the face.
Finger puppet - An extremely simple puppet variant which fits onto a single finger. Finger puppets normally have no moving parts, and consist primarily of a hollow cylinder shape to cover the finger. This form of puppet has limited application, and is used mainly in pre-schools or kindergartens for storytelling with young children.

History
Nineteenth century
The Tag Heuer company has its roots in 1860 when Edouard Heuer founded a watchmaking company in St-Imier, Switzerland, patenting his first chronograph in 1882. In 1887 Heuer patented an "oscillating pinion" still used by major watchmakers for mechanical chronographs.
Early twentieth century
In 1911, Heuer received a patent for the "Time of Trip", the first dashboard chronograph. Designed for use in automobiles and aircraft, two large hands mounted from the center pinion indicate the time of day, as on a traditional clock. A small pair of hands, mounted at the top of the dial (12 o'clock position) indicates the duration of the trip (up to 12 hours). A top-mounted crown allows the user to set the time; a button mounted in that crown operates the start / stop / reset functions of the "duration of trip" counter.
Heuer introduced its first wrist chronograph in 1914. The crown was at the twelve o'clock position, as these first wrist chronographs were adapted from pocket chronographs. In 1916, Heuer introduced the "Micrograph", the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100th of a second. This model was soon followed by the "Semikrograph", a stopwatch that offered 1/50th of a second timing, as well as a split-second function (which allows the user to determine the interval between two contestants or events).
Timepieces of the 1930s and 1940s
In 1933, Heuer introduced the "Autavia", a dashboard timer used for automobiles and aviation (whence its name, from "AUTos" and "AVIAtion"). The companion "Hervue" was a clock that could run for eight days without being wound. Over the period from 1935 through the early 1940s, Heuer manufactured chronographs for pilots in the German air force, known as "Flieger" (pilots) chronographs. The earlier version featured a hinged-back case and one pusher (for start / stop / reset); the later version had a snap-back case and added a second pusher (for time-in and time-out). All these Flieger chronographs had two-registers, with a capacity of 30 minutes.".
In the mid-1940s, Heuer expanded its line of chronographs to include both two and three register models, as well as a three-register chronograph that included a full calendar function (day / date / month). As the highest development of Heuer's chronographs, these "triple calendar" chronographs were offered in stainless steel, 14 karat gold and 18 karat gold cases. Dial colors were white, black or copper.
1950s Chronographs
In the early 1950s, Heuer produced watches for the American retailer Abercrombie & Fitch. The "Seafarer" and "Auto-Graph" were unique chronographs produced by Heuer to be sold by Abercrombie & Fitch. The "Seafarers" had special dials -- with blue, green and yellow patterns -- that showed the high and low tides. This dial could also be used to track the phases of the moon. Heuer produced a version of the "Seafarer" for sale under the Heuer name, with this model called the "Mareographe". The "Auto-Graph" was produced in 1953 and 1954, and featured a tachymeter scale on the dial and a hand that could be preset to a specific point on the scale. This allowed a rally driver or navigator to determine whether the car was achieving the desired pace, over a measured mile. Advertisements and literature also pointed out that this hand could be rotated to count golf scores or other events.
Late 1950s -- New Series of Dashboard Timers
From as early as 1911, Heuer had manufactured timepieces to be mounted on the dashboards of automobiles, aircraft and boats. These clocks and timers included a variety of models, designed to address specific needs of racers and rallyists. In 1958, Heuer...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about acrylic enamel paint, outdoor waste bin, . The Directed Amplifiers 500/2 2 Ch.

Idling current

Idling current refers to the current trickling through a circuit (or more commonly through transistors) such as an amplifier when the system is on, but doing no useful work. This is also known as quiescent current.
Many electrical appliances including computer and television peripherals, (printers, scanners, DVD players, receivers, etc.), continue to use energy, even after they are apparently turned off. While the button may indicate off, in reality, the device may be in a standby mode, and may draw anything from 0% to 100% of on power 24/7.

Amount of standby power
The amount of standby power wasted in each nation is unclear due to lack of studies conducted. Estimates vary significantly, and those with a political agenda can be based on quite unrealistic figures. Alan Meier, an energy analyst who helped raise awareness about the problem while at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, estimates that residential consumers in the United States spend more than $5 billion annually on standby power -- about 5 percent of all electricity consumed in the country (Woods, 2005).
Uses of standby power
Some standby power is necessary and useful, but its use has exploded since 1968 on the consumer electronics scene with the introduction of instant-on televisions. Earlier TVs took anything up to half a minute for the picture to appear as the picture tube warmed up, and valve sets also took several seconds for audio to appear. Standby power has sometimes been used to permit instant-on picture and sound, but in most cases quick picture appearance is due to the improved design of modern equipment.
Some standby power is useful to:
keep remote controllable appliances such as TVs, VCRs, DVD players etc able to receive remote control instructions.
allow security alarms to remain on alert.
allow some refrigerators to use electronic temperature sensors to improve temperature accuracy and thus energy consumtpion a little.
keep batteries in cell phones and camcorders fully charged
light up the time display on microwave ovens, videos etc
Controlling standby power
Most standby power is a waste, consuming energy for no useful task. The reason for such consumption comes down to cost. Additional switching & control, and power supply efficiency do not come for free. In many cases the resulting power consumption is wasteful, but in some the additional cost and power used to add further control would be greater than the power saved by the appliance in use.
Growing consumer awareness of standby power has led to the marketing of devices that can switch off the standby power consumption of products designed to remain on. Such products include
Beamingsun's USB Ecostrip which allows the user to effectively control when peripheral devices power off by using patented USB technology.
OneClickPower's smart surge protector with outlets for a computer, monitor, printer, scanner and other devices. Its circuitry senses when the devices go into a standby mode and automatically disconnects them (?29.95).
the Smart Strip which monitors power consumption and can sense the difference between when computers and other devices are on or off. Upon figuring this out, it shuts off the power, eliminating the idling current drawn from them (US $32-$35).
the Wattstopper which has six outlets controlled by occupancy and two outlets which are always on, and use a motion detector to monitor and manage energy use. Devices plugged into the controlled outlets are turned on and off based on occupancy, or the fact that they're currently using energy.
The "Personal Sensor" connects to the power strip, and automatically turns power to all connected devices on when the accessories and peripherals are in use. These devices will turn off after they go idle and the user-defined time delay elapses (anywhere from 30 seconds to 30 minutes) (US $90). (Dunn, 2005)
These products use idle current themselves, check to see what it is before buying. You don't want to pay for more standby power after buying an energy saving device. An example the Smart Strip uses only .28 watts of standby power. (note: I'm the engineer for this product)

History

Fric Boucheron
The House of Boucheron is French family dynasty founded by Frederic Boucheron in 1858. Four generations of the Boucheron family helped the brand become a worldwide leader in the High Jewelry market,[citation needed] expanding the brand to the four corners of the globe.
Frederic Boucheron was the first jeweler to move to Place Vendome, which he did in 1893. Legend has it that he chose 26 Place Vendome, where Boucheron remains to this day, because it was the sunniest corner of the square.[citation needed] He believed that the diamonds in the windows would sparkle all the more brilliantly.
Czar Alexander III was a client, as was his son, the doomed Nicholas II. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother was especially fond of her Boucheron tiara which she inherited from Lady Greville,[citation needed] who originally purchased it from the House. Her grandson Prince Charles passed the tiara onto his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall as a wedding gift. Queen Elizabeth of England also has a collection of Boucheron jewels as did Wallis Simpson the Duchess of Windsor.
American royalty are also collectors of Boucheron creations. Household names like the Astors, the Vanderbilts and the Rockefellers have returned again and again to the House of Boucheron for exceptional pieces of High Jewelry. One American bride to be, Mary Ethel Burns, in preparation of becoming Lady Harcourt, turned to Boucheron to create the jewelry for her wedding trousseau. After her marriage Lady Harcourt was a faithful Boucheron client commissioning a number of pieces, including tiaras, necklaces and bracelets throughout her lifetime.
Actors royalty and artists have also been fans of Boucheron since it opened its doors 150 years ago. Caroline Otero, the temptresses known as La Belle Otero, when she was a cabaret dancer at the turn of the 19th century was a Boucheron enthusiast as was the famed theater actress Sarah Bernhardt and the writers Oscar Wilde and Marcel Proust. While film stars including Greta Garbo, Rita Hayworth, Marlene Dietrich also bejeweled themselves with Boucheron. More recently celebrities like Eva Longoria, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Kristin Scott Thomas, Rachel Weisz and Diane Kruger have all come under the Boucheron spell of spectacular creations.
With a clientele of movie-stars writers, artists, maharajahs and magnates Boucheron has always appealed famous people.[citation needed] Patrons of the company have included Royalty: Maharajah Sir Bhupindar Singh of Patiala, Riza Shah Pahlavi, Czar Alexander III, Queen Farida of Egypt, Queen Rania of Jordan. Affluent American families: The Astors, the Vanderbilts and the Rockefellers. As well as film stars: Greta Garbo, Rita Hayworth, Marlene Dietrich and more recently Nicole Kidman, Penope Cruz, Michelle Yeoh, Cameron Diaz., Rachel Weisz and Diane Kruger.

Bletilla striata - Chinese ground orchid, hardy orchid
etc.
Bletilla is a temperate, terrestrial genus of orchids containing 9 species distributed through China, Japan and Taiwan and Vietnam. The name is actually a diminutive of Bletia because of the resemblance between the two genera even though Bletia is a New World genus. The genera Jimensia Raf. and Polytoma Lour. ex Gomes are generally included into Bletilla. This genus is abbreviated Ble in trade journals.
The pseudobulbs resemble spreading corms which usually sit at ground level. Each pseudobulb generally bears several pleated leaves around 40cm long. The racemes of flowers emerge from the center of the years new growth before it is mature, during spring and early summer. The flowers vary in colour from white to purple, and all species have four pollinia. The tubers resemble a horn or claw. They are grayish-white or yellowish-white in appearance, with concentric rings and brown rootlets. They have a hard texture and do not break easily.

Bletilla striata flower

Bletilla ochracea flower
Bletilla species are generally hardy, though some need protection from severe frost. It is better to keep them in pots of well drained media so that water does not sit around the roots during winter when the plants are not actively growing. They should also be watered sparingly at the start of the growing season as the new shoots emerge, as new roots often do not follow for around four weeks afterwards.
Bletilla striata is the most common form found in the nursery trade and is often labeled simply as 'Hardy Orchid' or 'Chinese Ground Orchid' and is quite inexpensive. This beautiful and hardy deciduous orchid has the distinction of being one of the first orchids in cultivation in England dating from around 1794. The very flat knob-like tuberous root system is typically sympodial, expansive and each shoot is of annual duration only. On established plants, almost every new growth shoot has a flower spike before leaves fully develop. Each shoot can have up to fourteen beautiful rose-mauve flowers with a ruffled lip about 30mm diameter, scentless and looking something like a miniature Cattleya orchid flower. An established clump can have literally dozens of flower spikes flowering in the late Spring and the clumps only increase in beauty with time. They rarely exceed two feet in height.
The flowers and leaves are at the mercy of late frosts, which are to be avoided if at all possible with coverings of a sheet or newspapers. Resist the temptation to remove the mulch layer even if the new growths are raising up the mulch due to an early Spring, unless no more frosts are likely. Unlike most tropical orchids, B. striata has attractive foliage even when not flowering. The pleated, tapered foliage looks very similar to the juvenile leaves of many palm species. A well established clump of these in flower is quite beautiful and they are surprisingly hardy even into USDA Zone 5 with a heavy mulch. They easily succeed in USDA Zone 6 with only a moderate mulch of straw or leaves. These hardiness ratings only apply to plants in the ground with the idea of preventing the actual root system from being frozen. If potted, they should be placed in a frost-free location if winter temperatures go below freezing. The plant is generally considered hardy without a mulch if minimum winter temperatures do not go below 25.
They have a great reputation of being the absolute easiest orchid for a beginner to grow. Unlike most tropical epiphytic orchids, this plant comes from somewhat temperate zones and grows in soil rather than on trees and require no extraordinary care to grow successfully. They prefer well drained evenly moist soils that are high in organic material and that never dry out nor remain sodden. They are sympodial growers and will form handsome clumps in only a few years. Other species and hybrids are occasionally available, the most common being B. striata var. alba, a white variation of the rose-mauve B. striata. Bletilla ochracea, a somewhat rare species from China has unusual flowers with yellow sepals and petals with a red-marked white lip and is becoming more available to collectors. Bletilla Penway Dragon (formosana X szetschuaunica) is one of the exciting new hybrids that promises to become popular with collectors as it becomes more available.

Background
After having ending her third successful tour whose last shows were held in Russia in March 7, 2000, Farmer rested, and then decided to release an album and a DVD retracing her concert. With Bertrand Chatenet, she participated in the audio mixing of the live album and also worked on the bonus available on the DVD. The album, whose release was originally scheduled for September, was finally marketed on December 4, after several postponements, since its preparation needed a lot of time. The day before, the Fnac and Virgin stores of the Champs-Elyss organized a special evening by opening at midnight to allow fans to purchase the various supports of the album and the only single "Dessine-moi un mouton" which was released at the same time.
The album privileges the songs from the previous studio album "Innamoramento", but also contains some songs from "Anamorphos" and "L'Autre...", and two B-sides. A medley composed of 1980s four hits of the first two albums is also available on the album.
Arranged by Yvan Cassar and produced by Fran?ois Hanss, Mylenium Tour is the only album, which was not produced by Laurent Boutonnat.
Chart performances
In France, the CD went straight to number one on French Albums Chart, on December 9, 2000. It was dethroned the week after, but managed to stay on the top ten for 11 weeks. It disappeared from the chart (Top 200) on September 8, 2001, after its 31st week of attendance. On September 26, 2001, the album was certified Double platinum album for a minimum of 600,000 sales. It peaked respectively at #17 (it was released only three weeks before the end of the year) and #39 on 2000 and 2001 French Albums Charts. Although it was a little less sold than Live Bercy released three years before, Mylenium Tour remains one of the best-selling live albums in France.The VHS and the DVD, also released in December 2000, were both certified Diamond videos for more than 100,000 copies sold (350,000 sales).
In Belgium (Wallonia), the album entered the chart on December 16, 2000, at #14. It reached then #8, its highest position, but immediately left the top ten and remained on the chart (Top 50) for 13 weeks. It was ranked #68 on 2000 End of the Year Chart. On the chart edition of April 30, 2005, the album re-appeared for a single week, at #50, thanks to the release of Avant que l'ombre....
In Switzerland, the album achieved a minor success: it peaked at #31, on December 17, 2000, then kept on dropping and remained for seven weeks in the top 50 and for 12 weeks in the top 100.

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve, or PCV valve, is a one-way valve that ensures continual evacuation of gases from inside a gasoline internal combustion engine's crankcase.

Explanation
As an engine runs, high-pressure gases are contained within the combustion chamber and prevented from passing into the crankcase (containing the crankshaft and other parts) between the side of the piston and the cylinder bore by piston rings which seal against the cylinder. However, some amount of gas always leaks past the piston rings into the crankcase. This amount is very small in a new or properly rebuilt engine, provided that the piston rings and cylinder walls are correctly "broken in", and increases as the engine wears. Scratches on the cylinder walls or piston rings, such as those caused by foreign objects entering the engine, can cause large amounts of leakage. This leaked gas is known as blow-by because the pressure within the cylinders blows it by the piston rings. If this blow-by gas could not escape then pressure would build up within the crankcase.
Before the invention of Crankcase Ventilation in 1928 the engine oil seals were designed to withstand this pressure, oil leaking to the ground was accepted and the dipstick was screwed in. The hydrocarbon rich gas would then diffuse through the oil in the seals into the atmosphere. It is therefore an emissions requirement as well as a functional necessity that the crankcase has a ventilation system. This must maintain the crankcase at slightly less than atmospheric pressure and recycle the blow-by gas back into the engine intake. However, due to the constant circulation of the oil within the engine, along with the high speed movement of the crankshaft, an oil mist is also passed through the PCV system and into the intake. The oil is then either burnt during combustion or settles along the intake tract, causing a gradual build-up of residue inside the inlet path. For this reason many engine tuners choose to replace the PCV system with an oil catch can and breather filter which vents the blow-by gases directly to atmosphere and retains the oil in a small tank (or returns it to the sump), although this technically fails to meet most engine emission legislation.
History
Prior to the early 1960s, automobile gasoline engines vented combustion gases directly to the atmosphere through a simple vent tube. Frequently this consisted of a pipe (the "road draft tube") that extended out from the crankcase down to the bottom of the engine compartment. The bottom of the pipe was open to the atmosphere, and was placed such that when the car was in motion a slight vacuum would be hopefully obtained, helping to extract combustion gases as they collected in the crankcase. The oil mist would also be discharged, resulting in an oily film being deposited in the middle of each travel lane on heavily-used roads. The system was not positive though, as gases could travel both ways, or not move at all, dependent on conditions. Most modern diesel engines still use this type of system to dispose of crankcase fumes. During World War II however, a different type of crankcase ventilation had to be invented to allow tank engines to operate during deep fording operations, where the normal draft tube ventilator would have allowed water to enter the crankcase and destroy the engine. The PCV system and its control valve were invented to meet this need but the need for it on automobiles was not recognized.
In 1952, Professor A. J. Haagen-Smit, of the California Institute of Technology at Pasadena, postulated that unburned hydrocarbons were a primary constituent of smog, and that gasoline powered automobiles were a major source of those hydrocarbons. After some investigation by the GM Research Laboratory (Dr. LLoyd L. Withrow) it was discovered in 1958 that the road draft tube was a major source, about half, of the hydrocarbons coming from the automobile. GM's Cadillac Division, which had built many tanks during WWII, recognized that the simple PCV valve could be used to become the first major reduction in automotive hydrocarbon emissions. After confirming the PCV valves' effectiveness at hydrocarbon reduction, GM offered the PCV solution to the entire U.S. automobile industry, royalty free, through its trade association, the Automobile Manufacturers Association (AMA). In the absence of any legislated requirement, the AMA members agreed to put it on all California cars voluntarily in the early 1960s, with national application following one year later.
Following its introduction into production, several years later the PCV became the subject of a Federal grand jury investigation in 1967, when it was alleged by some industry critics that the AMA was conspiring to keep several such smog reduction devices like the PCV on the shelf...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about 250cc motor scooters, butter making machine, .

Studio City Hand Car Wash, Studio City, California
A car wash is a facility used to clean the exterior and, in some cases, the interior of motor vehicles. While there are many different types of car washes, most in the US fall into three main categories:
Self-service facilities, that are generally coin-operated, where the customer does the washing
In-bay automatics, which consist of an automatic machine that rolls back and forth over a stationary vehicle - often seen in service station washes
Tunnel washes, which use a conveyor to move the vehicle through a series of fixed cleaning mechanisms.
Mechanized car washes, especially those with brushes, were once avoided by some meticulous car owners because of the risk of damaging the finish. Paint finishes have improved as have car washing processes, and this perception of vehicle damage is much less today. It was, however, the motivation behind the rise of the "brushless" (cloth), "touch-free" (high-pressure water), and most recently, brushes which are made of closed cell foam, car wash facility.
In a modern car wash facility, whether automatic, in-bay automatic or self-serve, soaps and other cleaning solutions used are based on milder acids and alkalies designed to loosen and eliminate dirt and grime. This is in contrast to earlier times, when hydrofluoric acid, a hazardous chemical, was commonly used as a cleaning agent in the industry. There has been a strong move in the industry to shift to safer cleaning solutions. Most car wash facilities are required by law to treat and/or reuse their water and may be required to maintain waste-water discharge permits, in contrast to unregulated facilities or even driveway washing where waste-water can end up in the storm drain and, eventually, in streams, rivers and lakes.

Self-serve car wash

A multi-bay self-service car wash, with an automatic "touchless" bay at the far left and manual bays on the right.
A simple and automated type of car wash that is typically coin-operated or token-operated self-service system. Newer self-service car washes offer the ability to pay with credit cards. The vehicle is parked inside a large bay that is equipped with a trigger gun and wand (sprayer) and a scrub foam-brush. When customers insert coins or tokens into the controller, they can choose options such as soap, tire cleaner, wax or rinse all dispensed from the sprayer, or scrub the vehicle with the foam-brush. The number of coins or tokens inserted determines the amount of time customers have to operate the equipment, however in most instances, a minimum number of coins are necessary to start the equipment. These facilities are often equipped with separate vacuum stations that allow customers to clean the upholstery and rugs inside their cars. Some self-service car washes offer hand-held dryers, a somewhat new feature.
Automatic car wash

Rotating brushes inside a conveyor car-wash.
The first conveyorized automatic car washes appeared in the mid 1940s. Conveyorized automatic car washes consist of tunnel-like bays into which customers drive their cars. Some car washes, following the exterior express trend, allow their customers to pay through a computerized POS, or point of sale unit, also known as an "automatic cashier", which in many cases may take the place of a greeter. The mechanism inputs the wash PLU into a master computer or a tunnel controller automatically. When the sale is automated, after paying the car is put into a line-up often called the stack or queue. The stack moves sequentially, so the wash knows what each car purchased. After pulling up to the tunnel, an attendant usually guides the customer onto the track or conveyor. At some washes, both tires will pass over a tire sensor, and the system will send several rollers. The tire sensor lets the wash know where the wheels are and how far apart they are. On other systems, however, the employee may have to guide the customer on and hit the 'Send Car' button on the tunnel controller.
While on the conveyor or track, the attendant will usually ask the customer to put his or her vehicle into neutral, release all brakes, and refrain from steering. Failure to do so will inhibit the conveyor. The rollers catch the tires, pushing the car through a photo eye or magnetic loop detector, which measures vehicle length, allowing the controller to tailor the wash to each individual vehicle. The equipment frame, or arches, vary in...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about throwback football jersey, ipod mini housing, .

It has been suggested that Hotel Electric Power be merged into this article or section. (Discuss)
Head end power (HEP) or electric train supply (ETS) is a rail transport term for the electrical power distribution system on a passenger train. The power source, usually a locomotive at the front or ead of a train or a generator car, generates all the electricity used for lighting, electrical and other "hotel" needs. The maritime equivalent is Hotel Electric Power (HEP).

Originally, trains hauled by a steam locomotive would be provided with a supply of steam from the locomotive's boiler for heating the carriages. When diesel locomotives and electric locomotives replaced steam, the steam heating was then supplied by a steam-heat boiler. This was oil-fired (in diesel locomotives) or heated by an electric element (in electric locomotives). Oil-fired steam-heat boilers were appallingly unreliable. They caused more locomotive failures on any class to which they were fitted than any other system or component of the locomotive, and this was a major incentive to adopt a more reliable method of carriage heating.
At this time, lighting was powered by batteries which were charged by a dynamo underneath each carriage when the train was in motion, and buffet cars would use bottled gas for cooking and water heating.
On modern Diesel multiple unit trains, such as the Virgin Trains Voyager, the engine mounted below each vehicle provides power for that vehicle.
Electric Train Heat (ETH) and Electric Train Supply (ETS)
Later diesels and electric locomotives were equipped with Electric Train Heating (ETH) apparatus, which supplied electrical power to the carriages to run electric heating elements installed alongside the steam-heat apparatus, which was retained for use with older locomotives. Later carriage designs abolished the steam-heat apparatus, and made use of the ETH supply not only for heating, but also to power lighting, ventilation, air conditioning, fans, sockets and kitchen equipment in the train. In recognition of this ETH was eventually renamed Electric Train Supply (ETS).
Each coach has an index relating to the maximum consumption of electricity that that coach could use. The sum of all the indices must not exceed the index of the locomotive. One "ETH index unit" equals 5kW; a locomotive with an ETH index of 95 can supply 475kW of electrical power to the train.
USA
During the age of steam, cars were heated by low pressure saturated steam supplied by the locomotive. Electricity for car lighting and ventilation was derived from batteries charged by axle-driven generators on each car or from engine-generator sets mounted under the carbody.
The first advance over this system was developed on the Boston and Maine Railroad, which had placed a number of steam locomotives and passenger cars into dedicated commuter service in Boston. It was discovered that due to the low average speeds and frequent stops characteristic of commuter operation, axle generators did not produce enough output to keep the batteries adequately charged, resulting frequent passenger complaints about lighting and ventilation failures. In response, the railroad fitted higher capacity generators to the locomotives assigned to pull these trains and arranged electrical connections to transmit the generators' output back to the cars. The cars still depended on steam from the locomotive for heating.
When Diesel locomotives were introduced to passenger service, they were equipped with steam generators to provide steam for car heating. However, the use of axle generators and batteries persisted for many years. This started to change in the late 1950s, during which time the Chicago and North Western Railway removed the steam generators from their EMD F7 and E8 locomotives in commuter service and installed Diesel generator sets. This was a natural evolution, as their commuter trains were already receiving low voltage, low amperage power from the locomotives to assist axle generators in maintaining battery charge. In some cases, commuter cars were equipped with propane engine-powered air conditioning. The resulting separate systems of lighting power, steam heat, and engine-driven air conditioning increased the maintenance workload, as well as parts proliferation, thus leading to the full-scale adoption of HEP, where a single power source would handle all these functions.
While commuter fleets were quickly converted to HEP, long distance trains continued to operate with steam heat and battery-powered electrical systems. This gradually changed following the transfer of intercity...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about tooth brush sponge, slim solar charger, .

For the use of the technique in art, see Woodcut on the technique, and Old master print for the history in Europe and woodblock printing in Japan.
Woodblock printing is a technique for printing text, images or patterns used widely throughout East Asia and originating in China in antiquity as a method of printing on textiles and later paper. As a method of printing on cloth, the earliest surviving examples from China date to before 220, and from Egypt to the 4th century.[1] Ukiyo-e is the best known type of Japanese woodblock art print. Most European uses of the technique on paper are covered by the art term woodcut, except for the block-books produced mainly in the fifteenth century.

Technique
The wood block is prepared as a relief matrix, which means the areas to show 'white' are cut away with a knife, chisel, or sandpaper leaving the characters or image to show in 'black' at the original surface level. The block was cut along the grain of the wood. It is only necessary to ink the block and bring it into firm and even contact with the paper or cloth to achieve an acceptable print. The content would of course print "in reverse" or mirror-image, a further complication when text was involved. The art of carving the woodcut is technically known as xylography, though the term is rarely used in English.
For colour printing, multiple blocks are used, each for one colour, although overprinting two colours may produce further colours on the print. Multiple colours can be printed by keying the paper to a frame around the woodblocks.
There are three methods of printing to consider:
Stamping
Used for many fabrics, and most early European woodcuts (1400-40) These were printed by putting the paper or fabric on a table or other flat surface with the block on top, and pressing or hammering the back of the block.

Young monks printing Buddhist scriptures using the rubbing technique, Sera Monastery, Tibet
Rubbing
Apparently the most common for Far Eastern printing on paper at all times. Used for European woodcuts and block-books later in the fifteenth century, and very widely for cloth. The block goes face up on a table, with the paper or fabric on top. The back is rubbed with a "hard pad, a flat piece of wood, a burnisher, or a leather frotton".[2]
Printing in a press
Presses only seem to have been used in Asia in relatively recent times. Simple weighted presses may have been used in Europe, but firm evidence is lacking. Later, printing-presses were used (from about 1480). A deceased Abbess of Mechelen in Flanders in 1465 had "unum instrumentum ad imprintendum scripturas et ymagines cum 14 aliis lapideis printis" ("an instrument for printing texts and pictures with 14 stones for printing") which is probably too early to be a Gutenberg-type printing press in that location.[2]
In addition, jia xie is a method for dyeing textiles (usually silk) using wood blocks invented in the 5th-6th centuries in China. An upper and a lower block is made, with carved out compartments opening to the back, fitted with plugs. The cloth, usually folded a number of times, is inserted and clamped between the two blocks. By unplugging the different compartments and filling them with dyes of different colours, a multi-coloured pattern can be printed over quite a large area of folded cloth. The method is not strictly printing however, as the pattern is not caused by pressure against the block.[3]

Automatic Waterless Induction Sealer

An induction sealer with a conveyor
The closure is supplied to the bottler with foil liner already inserted. Although there are various liners to choose from, a typical induction liner is multi-layered. The top layer is a paper pulp that is generally spot-glued to the cap. The next layer is wax that is used to bond the foil to the pulp. The bottom layer is a polymer film laminated to the foil. After the cap or closure is applied, the container passes under an induction coil, which emits an oscillating electromagnetic field. As the container passes under the induction coil (sealing head) the conductive aluminum foil liner begins to heat. The heat melts the wax, which is absorbed into the pulp backing and releases the foil from the cap. The polymer film also heats and flows onto the lip of the container. When cooled, the polymer creates a bond with the container resulting in a hermetically sealed product. Neither the container nor its contents are affected, and this all happens in a matter of seconds.
It is possible to overheat the foil causing damage to the seal layer and to any protective barriers. This could result in faulty seals, even weeks after the initial sealing process, so proper sizing of the induction sealing is vital to determine the exact system necessary to run a particular product.
Sealing can be done with either a hand held unit or on a conveyor system.
A more recent development (which suits a small number of applications better) allows for induction sealing to be used to apply a foil seal to a container without the need for a closure. In this case, foil is supplied pre-cut or in a reel. Where supplied in a reel, it is die cut and transferred onto the container neck. When the foil is in place, it is pressed down by the seal head, the induction cycle is activated and the seal is bonded to the container. This process is known as direct application or sometimes "capless" induction sealing.
Reasons that induction sealing may be useful

An induction sealed bottle
There are a variety of reasons companies choose to use induction sealing:
Tamper evidence
Leak prevention
Retain Freshness
Pilferage protection
Sustainability
Production Speed
Tamper evidence
With the FDA regulations concerning tamper-resistant packaging, pharmaceutical packagers must find ways to comply as outlined in Sec. 450.500 Tamper-Resistant Packaging Requirements for Certain over-the-counter (OTC) Human Drug Products (CPG 7132a.17).
Induction sealing systems meet or exceed these government regulations. As stated in section 6 of Packaging Systems:
6. CONTAINER MOUTH INNER SEALS. Paper, thermal plastic, plastic film, foil, or a combination thereof, is sealed to the mouth of a container (e.g., bottle) under the cap. The seal must be torn or broken to open the container and remove the product. The seal cannot be removed and reapplied without leaving visible evidence of entry. Seals applied by heat induction to plastic containers appear to offer a higher degree of tamper-resistance than those that depend on an adhesive to create the bond
Leak prevention/protection
Some shipping companies require liquid chemical products to be sealed prior to shipping to prevent hazardous chemicals from spilling on other shipments.
Freshness
Induction sealing keeps unwanted pollutants from seeping into food products, and may assist in extending shelf life of certain products.
Pilferage protection
Induction-sealed containers help prevent the product from being broken into by leaving a noticeable residue from the liner itself. Pharmaceutical companies purchase liners that will purposely leave liner film/foil residue on bottles. Food companies that use induction seals do not want the liner residue as it could potentially interfere with the product itself upon dispensing. They, in turn, put a notice on the product that it has been induction-sealed for their protection; letting the consumer know there was a liner on the plastic bottle prior to...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about car suit hanger, led display signs, .

(Redirected from UART)
"DUART" redirects here. For the castle on the Island of Mull, see Duart Castle.
A universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (usually abbreviated UART and pronounced /?ju??rt/) is a type of "asynchronous receiver/transmitter", a piece of computer hardware that translates data between parallel and serial forms. UARTs are commonly used in conjunction with other communication standards such as EIA RS-232.
A UART is usually an individual (or part of an) integrated circuit used for serial communications over a computer or peripheral device serial port. UARTs are now commonly included in microcontrollers. A dual UART or DUART combines two UARTs into a single chip. Many modern ICs now come with a UART that can also communicate synchronously; these devices are called USARTs.

Transmitting and receiving serial data
Serial transmission of digital information (bits) through a single wire or other medium is much more cost effective than parallel transmission through multiple wires. A UART is used to convert the transmitted information between its sequential and parallel form at each end of the link. Each UART contains a shift register which is the fundamental method of conversion between serial and parallel forms.
The UART usually does not directly generate or receive the external signals used between different items of equipment. Typically, separate interface devices are used to convert the logic level signals of the UART to and from the external signaling levels.
External signals may be of many different forms. Examples of standards for voltage signaling are RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 from the EIA. Historically, the presence or absence of current (in current loops) was used in telegraph circuits. Some signaling schemes do not use electrical wires. Examples of such are optical fiber, IrDA (infrared), and (wireless) Bluetooth in its Serial Port Profile (SPP). Some signaling schemes use modulation of a carrier signal (with or without wires). Examples are modulation of audio signals with phone line modems, RF modulation with data radios, and the DC-LIN for power line communication.
Communication may be "full duplex" (both send and receive at the same time) or "half duplex" (devices take turns transmitting and receiving).
As of 2008, UARTs are commonly used with RS-232 for embedded systems communications. It is useful to communicate between microcontrollers and also with PCs. Many chips provide UART functionality in silicon, and low-cost chips exist to convert logic level signals (such as TTL voltages) to RS-232 level signals (for example, Maxim's MAX232).
Asynchronous receive and transmit
In asynchronous transmitting, teletype-style UARTs send a "start" bit, five to eight data bits, least-significant-bit first, an optional "parity" bit, and then one, one and a half, or two "stop" bits. The start bit is the opposite polarity of the data-line's idle state. The stop bit is the data-line's idle state, and provides a delay before the next character can start. (This is called asynchronous start-stop transmission). In mechanical teletypes, the "stop" bit was often stretched to two bit times to give the mechanism more time to finish printing a character. A stretched "stop" bit also helps resynchronization.
The parity bit can either make the number of "one" bits between any start/stop pair odd, or even, or it can be omitted. Odd parity is more reliable because it assures that there will always be at least one data transition, and this permits many UARTs to resynchronize.
In synchronous transmission, the clock data is recovered separately from the data stream and no start/stop bits are used. This improves the efficiency of transmission on suitable channels since more of the bits sent are usable data and not character framing. An asynchronous transmission sends no characters over the interconnection when the transmitting device has nothing to send -- only idle stop bits; but a synchronous interface must send "pad" characters to maintain synchronism between the receiver and transmitter. The usual filler is the ASCII "SYN" character. This may be done automatically by the transmitting device.
USART chips have both synchronous and asynchronous modes.

Southington is a town in Hartford County, Connecticut, United States. It is part of Connecticut's 1st congressional district. It is situated about 20 miles southwest of Hartford, about 80 miles northeast of New York City and about 105 miles southwest of Boston. Southington includes the areas of Plantsville, Marion and Milldale, all of which have their own post offices and distinct architecture. The town rests in a valley of two mountains on its east and west sides. The town is located along exits 28 through 32 of Interstate 84, exit 4 of Interstate 691, and bisected by Route 10. Southington has the nick name of The Apple Valley, due to the many orchards that still dot its landscape. The Quinnipiac River flows through the town. It is home to Mount Southington Ski Area and ESPN which straddles the Bristol/Southington town lines. Southington is also known for its high school sports teams the Southington Blue Knights, the Briarwood College, and a branch of the Branford Hall Career Institute.
Southington was named for best quality of life for a town its size in Hartford County.

History

Southington town center
Although Southington was formally established as a town in 1779, its roots go back to a much earlier time. Samuel Woodruff, Southington's first white settler, moved from Farmington to the area then known as Panthorne that was settled in 1698. The settlement grew, prospered, and came to be known as South Farmington and then later, the shortened version, Southington.
The town most important early visitor was General George Washington, who passed through the town in 1770 on his way to Wethersfield.
The Marion section of Southington is one of the most historic places in the town. It is the site of an encampment by the great French general, Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, comte de Rochambeau and his troops during the Revolutionary War. In June 1781, the french troops under Rochambeau's command left Farmington and marched 13 miles to their eighth camp through Connecticut, near Asa Barnes's Tavern in the Marion section of Southington. They camped there for four days. Rochambeau and his officers took shelter in the tavern, and the troops set up camp on a hill on the other side of the road. The area of the encampment has since become known as French Hill, and a marker on the east side of Marion Avenue commemorates the French campsite. According to Rev. Timlow's Sketches of Southington (1875), "Landlord Barnes gave a ball at his tavern, at which a large number of the young women of the vicinity were present; and they esteemed it something of an honor to have had a 'cotillion' with the polite foreigner." The celebrations-infused with spirits provided by Landlord Barnes-spanned the four nights they were in Southington . Rochambeau revisited Barnes's Tavern again on the return march on October 27, 1782. According to Timlow's, coins, buttons and other things have been picked up in the vicinity many years after the two encampments. The Barnes Tavern is now a private residence very near the camp site at 1089 Marion Avenue.
Settlers from Southington formed a township in the mid 1800 in Ohio near the city of Warren and named it Southington. Today, it has fewer than 2,000 residents.
Southington originally was a small rural farming community. In the early 1900s, Southington developed as a manufacturing center, but still maintained a very small population of a few thousand residents. Some of the products invented there include the first cement that was able to harden under water, the...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about tatoo washing machine, gyro cutting machine, .

A diesel generator of 500kVA in a tourist resort in Egypt.
A diesel generator is the combination of a diesel engine with an electrical generator (often called an alternator) to generate electric energy. Diesel generating sets are used in places without connection to the power grid or as emergency power-supply if the grid fails. Small portable diesel generators range from about 1kVA to 10kVA may be used as power supplies on construction sites, or as auxiliary power for vehicles such as mobile homes.

Diesel generator set
The packaged combination of a diesel engine, a generator and various ancillary devices such as base, canopy, sound attenuation, control systems, circuit breakers, jacket water heaters, starting systems etc, is referred to as a generating set or a gen set for short.
While the larger industrial generators can range from 8kVA - 30kVA for homes, small shops & offices up to 2000kVA used for large office complexes, factories. A 2000 kVA set can be housed in a 40ft ISO container and be fully packaged and portable. Sizes up to about 5 MW are used for small power stations and these may use from one to 20 units. In these larger sizes the engine and generator are brought to site separately and assembled along with ancillary equipment
Diesel generators, sometimes as small as 250 kVa are widely used not only for emergency power, but also many have a secondary function of feeding power to utility grids either during peak periods, or periods when there is a shortage of large power generators.

Diesel generator on an oil tanker
Ships often also employ diesel generators, sometimes not only to provide auxiliary power for lights, fans, and winches, etc. but also for main propulsion. With electric propulsion the generators can be placed in a convenient position, to allow more cargo to be carried. Electric drives for ships were developed prior to WW I. Electric drives were specified in many warships built during WW II because manufacturing capacity for large reduction gears was in short supply, compared to capacity for manufacture of electrical equipment. [1] Such a diesel-electric arrangement is also used in some very large land vehicles.
Generating sets are selected based on the load they are intended to supply power for, taking into account the type of load, ie emergency or for continuous power, and the size of the load, and size of any motors to be started which is normally the critical parameter.
Power plants - electrical "Island" mode
One or more diesel generators operating without a connection to an electrical grid are operating in "island" mode. Several parallel generators provides the advantages of redundancy and better efficiency at part loads. An island power plant intended for primary power source of an isolated community will often have at least three diesel generators, any two of which are rated to carry the required load. Groups of up to 20 are not uncommon.
Generators can be electrically connected together through the process of synchronization. Synchronization involves matching voltage, frequency and phase before connecting the generator to a live bus-bar. Failure to synchronize before connection could cause a high current short-circuit or wear and tear on the generator and/or its switchgear. The synchronization process can be done automatically by an auto-synchronizer module. The auto-synchronizer will read the voltage, frequency and phase parameters from the generator and bus-bar voltages, while regulating the speed through the engine governor or ECU (Engine Control Module). Typical manufacturers are ComAp, GAC, Woodward and Heinzman who dominate this market
Load can be shared among parallel running generators through load sharing. Like auto-synchronization, load sharing can be automated by using a load sharing module. The load sharing module will measure the load and frequency at the generator, while it constantly adjusts the engine fuel control to shift load to and from the remaining power sources. As the prime mover of a diesel generator runs at constant speed, it will take more load when the fuel supply to its combustion system is increased, while load is released if fuel supply is decreased.

(Redirected from 56k modem)
56k modems are voiceband modems nominally capable of download speeds up to 56 kbit/s (56,000 bits per second). At the beginning of the 21st Century, most personal computers contained one, their use declining as broadband technologies such as DSL gain wider availability.

Speed
The 56 kbit/s speed is only possible when the system being dialed into has a digital connection to the telephone system, such as DS0 service. By the time 56k modems came into use, most of the telephone system beyond the local loop was already digital, so the new 56k protocols took advantage of this.
If both calling party and called party have an analog connection, the voiceband signal will be converted from analog to digital and then back to analog. Each conversion adds noise, and there will be too much noise from the second conversion for 56k to work. The modem's negotiation processes will fall back to the less demanding 33.6 kbit/s mode. Other local loop conditions, such a certain antiquated pair gain systems, may have similar results.
Effective throughput will vary, depending on framing protocols, noise, data compression, and other factors. See V.42 and Comparison of synchronous and asynchronous signalling article for more detail.
The upload speed is 33.6 kbit/s if an analog voiceband modem is used (V.90), or 48.0 kbit/s using a digital modem (V.92). Due to the design of public telecommunications networks, higher speed dialup modems are unlikely to ever appear. Due to crosstalk considerations, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States and Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) in Canada have placed a power output restriction on dialup modems, resulting in a maximum of 53.3 kbit/s. However, depending on the quality of the line conditions, the user may not be able to reach this maximum speed.
While faster communications such as DSL and Cable modems became widely available to urban consumers in the early 2000s, the dialup modem remains common, since high speed rural Internet connections are often scarce.
History
Initially there were two rival 56k modem systems. One was K56flex from Rockwell and Lucent. The other was X2 from US Robotics. In February 1998 the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) drafted a 56 kbit/s standard called V.90 which was carefully designed to allow both types of modem to be converted to it by a firmware upgrade. This was formally approved during September 1998.
K56flex
K56flex (a combination of Rockwell's K56Plus and Lucent's V.Flex2 proposals) was a proprietary modem chipset from Rockwell and Lucent that gave users the possibility of receiving data on ordinary phone lines at 56 kbit/s as opposed to the previous maximum of 33.6 kbit/s.
K56flex is a combination of two competitors' efforts at 56k technology. Lucent developed the K56 protocol, while Rockwell developed the 56flex protocol. This occasionally led to incompatibilities between Lucent and Rockwell chipsets as their implementation of K56flex differed.
X2
X2 was a 56 kbit/s modem protocol developed by U.S. Robotics. The protocol used V.34+ to upload at 33.6 kbit/s, and downloaded under PCM at 56 kbit/s. X2 was found to consistently have a lower top end speed, yet overall performance was faster than K56flex.[citation needed] The incompatibilities experienced between variant Lucent and Rockwell chipsets in K56flex were also avoided as there was only one X2 standard.
V.90
V.90 is an ITU-T recommendation for a modem, allowing 56 kbit/s PCM download and 33.6 kbit/s analog-modulated upload. It replaced two vendor standards (K56flex and X2) and was designed to allow modems from both prior standards to be flash upgraded to support it. It was developed between March 1998 and February 1999. It is also known as V.Last as it was anticipated to be the last standard for modems operating near the channel capacity of POTS lines to be developed. A follow-on standard, V.92, was developed later in 1999 to replace V.90.
V.92
V.92 is an ITU-T recommendation, titled Enhancements to Recommendation V.90, that establishes a modem standard allowing 48 kbit/s PCM upload, but at the expense of download rates. For example a 48 kbit/s upstream rate would reduce the downstream as low as 40 kbit/s, due to echo on the telephone line. To avoid this problem, V.92 modems offer the +PIG=1 command to turn off the digital upstream and instead use a 33.6 kbit/s analog connection, in order to maintain a high digital downstream of 50 kbit/s or higher. (See November and October 2000 update at http://modemsite.com/56k/v92s.asp )
V.92 was first presented in August 1999. It was intended to...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about Computer CD Drive, ink cartridges canon, . The E888 Earphone & Headphone products should be show more here!

Alternate Air Ticket POS

I want to introduct something about Right Angle Tact Switch with Longer Terminal. Product Name: Right Angle Tact Switch with Longer Terminal Model Number: ELTSAC-6a Place of Origin: ChinaFeatures 1) 6 x 6mm model 2) Lengthen the cover and terminal to meet custome
Alternative ways of purchasing air tickets and GDS Connectivity: That does not include Internet or personal TA contact
1. Mobile Booking: Booking of flight tickets and other facilities, for example reviewing flight schedules, comparing fares can be done using the mobile phone. Calling up the customer care of the airline or the travel agent is obvious, however we are discussing about the other means that does not involve talking to an agent.
a. SMS A short code can be sent to the TA provided code with specific parameters to receive the required information.
Example: Cleartrip provides a facility to send an SMS to 667744 with source, destination, date and month. The reply comes with list of flight codes, time of departure and price, all sorted by price in ascending order. This service is available to Cleartrip customers having Airtel, BPL, Hutch and Reliance connection.
b. Interactive voice response A specific number provided by the carrier can be called, and an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) would ask questions and guide the user through. The IVR can also take the payment details and process the payment. The e-ticket can be either sent as email or can be collected over the counter.
Example:
JetAirways uses the IVR system for payment at the call center. After the itinerary is created by the call centre agent, the customer can pay for his tickets via the IVR.This ensures that the payment details are secure. After the payment is successful, the e-ticket is automatically generated by the application and mailed to the customer
Shanghai SmartPay Jieyin has partnered with Lu Hai Kong travel agency in Hefei, Anhui Province, to jointly launch mobile and telephone based payment for airline electronic tickets. As part of the launch promotion, customers who buy airline e-ticket in Lu Hai Kong ticket agency and process payment via interactive voice response (IVR)
2. Smart Card A smart card (also known as chip card or integrated circuit card-ICC), is a pocket-sized card with embedded integrated circuits which can process information. It can receive input, process it using the ICC applications and delivers the output. The airline smart card enables to easily and quickly identify passengers, board a flight, obtain a ticket, and pay for other products and services. The smart card provides airlines the opportunity to make savings in distribution costs, provides better security against fraud, allows more of their passengers to use self-service facilities, and provides a better means of identification of their frequent travelers.
Examples: Air France has issued smart cards to frequent flyers on its routes from Paris Orly to Marseille and Toulouse. The card is a contact-less smart card using the Mifare radio frequency technology (similar to the Lufthansa card). Gemplus is the supplier of the cards. The card has been used as passenger identification, the ticket and boarding authority.
3. GDS developed Application GDS provides applications that the participating carrier can purchase and use to inform its passengers by means of alerts on their mobile phones. The alerts can be for flight delays, terminal/gate changes, flight cancellations, airport/airline alerts, city/country security alerts, as well as a trip reminder service. Alerts can be private or custom branded with contact information and can be sent via Voice, e-mail, fax or Short Messaging System (SMS). Customized alerts or marketing messages can be also created to get in touch with the passengers anywhere they may be; Patheo offers this same applications too. The alerts can be delivered to travelers via WML and HDML phones, Web-enabled PDAs and RIM Blackberry devices. Any device that receives e-mail or SMS (AOL, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ) can receive Alert Notifications.
Example: Sabre InformSM mobile service is a solution that provides the participating carriers passengers with access to their travel plans 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Mobile services for the customers can be enabled at minimal cost, time and effort. There is no hardware or software to purchase, no developers to train and no systems to maintain and operate. Convenient, efficient and easy to implement, Sabre InformSM helps foster long-term customer relationships and maintain a distinct competitive advantage.
4. Airline developed Application A software application can be installed on the phone that would provide access to a specific airline reservation system, book, pay and generate e-tickets via phone. This would require a JAVA enabled handset with GPRS connection.
Example: Jet Airways has launched a mobile airline-ticketing service called JetWallet. JetWallet allows to book, pay (via credit card) and generate e-tickets on the phone. E-Tickets are emailed to a user specified email addresses, and a copy of the details is sent via SMS. JetWallet also allows to change,cancel and refund e-tickets on the phone.There also an option...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about nail buffing blocks, circular din connector, .

Underbone

I want to introduct something about .

Modern underbones use plastic cover sets, allowing users to customize their bikes easily like this Modenas Kriss 2.
Underbones or Underbone Motorcycles are a class of small motorcycles based on a singular tube frame, the 'underbone' supporting the vehicle. Underbone cycles fall somewhere between scooters and motorcycles, and are called mopeds in Western countries when also fitted with pedals.
This underbone cycle is popular in East Asian and South East Asian countries for their low cost, handling performance, reliability and fuel efficiency. In Malaysia or Singapore this vehicle commonly known as Kapcai or Kapchai; while in Indonesia, it is called "motor bebek" (or "goose motorcycle" in English).

The origin of underbone design: the Honda Super Cub
Most underbones use carburetors for the fuel system, with the exception of Honda Wave 125i, Yamaha Spark 135i[1], and even the Japanese version of the Honda Super Cub (from 2007 onwards)[2], which use fuel injection. While most motorcycles have their fuel tanks positioned at the top front part, the fuel tanks in underbones are located below the seats. All modern underbones use capacitor discharge ignition for the ignition system.
Underbones carry engines ranging from 50cc to 125cc with the largest displacement being 150cc for bikes such as the Suzuki Raider 150.
Most modern underbone models are capable of reaching highway speeds (at least 110-120km/h) and are allowed to be used on expressways in Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, where riders are more disciplined and rules are strictly enforced by the authorities. However, underbones are not allowed to be used on Indonesian tollways and Philippine tollways.
History
Underbones developed from early moped models introduced in the early 1950s, many of which were simply bicycles with motors attached. One of the first underbone-like motorcycles was the Honda Super Cub, and it was arguably the success of the Cub that brought about the modern underbone. However, it was later plastic-bodied, tube-frame mopeds like the Honda Wave that set the modern standards from which most, if not all, underbones were drawn from today.
The origin of the word "kapchai"
The word "kapcai" or "kapchai" is originally a slang derived from Cantonese and Hokkien, being a combination of the word "Cub" from the word Honda Cub and "?" in Chinese. In Cantonese and Hokkien "?" (pronounced "jai", or in pinyin "zai") means "little" (or its derivatives, e.g. "small", "mini", etc.). Therefore,"Kapcai" literally means a "Little Cub". Honda is a popular brand in Malaysia and as a result of this, all underbone motorbikes were called "kapchai".
Underbone accessories

Yamaha Nouvo's helmet compartment, also used as a storage compartment.
Most underbone motorcycles sold in Southeast Asia come with a standard steel basket, allowing riders to carry goods. For more storage capacity, riders can also purchase an optional removable storage compartment (also known as the top box), which comes with free installation of the bracket to the frame to attach the storage compartment.
Some underbone models such as the Honda Wave, Modenas X-cite and the Yamaha Nouvo come with additional storage compartment under the seat for more storage capacity.
Underbone manufacturers
Basically, the market for underbone motorcycles are mostly dominated by Japanese manufacturers. However, Chinese and Taiwanese manufacturers also produce their underbone models, but most models are copied directly from the existing models by Japanese manufacturers, which some considered as copyright violation issue. Some of the mostly copied models include Honda Cub, Honda Wave series and Yamaha Lagenda series.
MZ Motorrad of Germany currently produces underbone models not in Germany but rather in Malaysia by their main share holder, Hong Leong Group which is also the sole distributor of Yamaha motorcycle in Malaysia and Singapore.
The major underbone manufacturers are as follows:-
China: Zongshen, Lifan
Malaysian: Modenas, Momos Motor (rebadge of Cagiva), Naza Bikers rebadge of Zongshen and other China brand.
German: MZ Motorrad
India: TVS Motors (underbone versions are only available in Indonesia)
Italy: Cagiva, Piaggio
Japanese: Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki
Taiwan Kymco, SYM Motors
Thailand: Tiger Motorcycle
Underbone Culture
In South East Asia, underbones are very popular. There is a healthy demand for aftermarket and tuner parts.

Synopsis
The play is set in fog-bound London in 1880 at the lower middle class home of Jack Manningham and his wife Bella. It is late afternoon, a time which Hamilton notes as being the time "before the feeble dawn of gaslight and tea".
At the opening of the drama Bella is clearly on edge, and the stern reproaches from her overbearing husband (who flirts with the servants) makes matters worse. What most perturbs Bella is Manningham's unexplained disappearances from the house: he will not tell her where he is going, and this increases her anxiety. As the drama unfolds, it becomes clear that Manningham is intent on convincing Bella that she is going mad, even to the point of assuring her she is 'imagining' the gas light in the house is dipping.
The appearance of a police detective called Rough soon leads Bella to realise that far from going mad, she is married to a psychopath. Rough explains that the apartment above was once occupied by one Alice Barlow, a wealthy woman who was murdered for her jewels but that the murderer never uncovered them.
It transpires that Manningham goes to the flat each night, searching for the jewels and causing the light in the house below to go down. Rough convinces Bella to assist him in exposing Manningham as the murderer, which she does, but not before she takes revenge on Manningham by pretending to help him escape. At the last minute she reminds him that, having gone 'mad', she is not accountable for her actions. The play closes with Mannigham being led away by the police.
Critical reception
Gas Light was an immense hit on its release, and it remains one of the longest-running non-musicals in Broadway history.[1] It remains a perennial favourite with both repertory and amateur theatre companies.
Film adaptations
The play has been filmed twice under the title Gaslight:

About

Bushfire up close
The brigade is based in a large urban centre with the main structure threats being housing, multi storey complexes, hotels, hospital, aged care facilities, shopping centres, communication facilities and major transport routes. The response area includes large areas of native vegetation, significant park areas, with semi rural residential living. The area has several class B structure risks, and two class A special risks, that is the S-E freeway (M1) and Adelaide-Melbourne railway. The brigade provides specialist roles in Road Crash Rescue and Hazmat that means regularly responding to incidents across the Mt Lofty CFS Group and into neighbouring Groups.
Stirling CFS attended 325 incidents in 2004/05, an increase over 2003/04 and this follows a long-term trend of increasing numbers of incidents. The most significant area of increase is around vehicle related incidents, with the continuing population growth in the hills area coupled with the M1 freeway between Glen Osmond and Crafers, bringing large increases in traffic volumes passing through the Stirling area.
Stirling brigade has a stable membership in excess of forty active fire fighters for the past decade, which has not required active recruitment. This level of membership is in line with the Standards of Fire and Emergency Cover (SFEC) prescription for the brigade and enables the brigade to crew all appliances as required for both local and Strike Team responses.
The brigade is classified as Urban/Rural under the SFEC, with Structural Threat in the top 5% (Policy 1) and Special Services Threat in the top 25% (Policy 3). Three appliances are prescribed where Structural Threat is in the top 5% (Policy 1). The SFEC system provides the basis to ensure CFS statutory obligations are met in the most efficient, effective and equitable manner.

An insert nut provides a threaded socket for a wooden workpiece, similar to a wall anchor. Insert nuts are inserted into a pre-drilled hole by one of two means: screw in and hammer in. In both cases, the external protrusions bite into the wood, preventing the nut from either turning or pulling out.
Insert nuts are advantageous over barrel nuts and T-nuts, because they can be installed from one side of the workpiece.

Screw-in type
Screw-in insert nuts have an external thread and hex head and are screwed in with an Allen wrench. The screw-in insert nuts come in various sizes and take different screw sizes. For example, a "1/4-20" insert nut will take a 1/4-20 inch bolt. The pre-drilled hole must be as deep as the length of the insert nut plus any portion of the bolt that may be screwed past the end of the nut in the work piece.
Hammer-in type
Hammer-in insert nuts, also known as knock-in nuts,[citation needed] are lined with barbs and are hammered in. They are often made of steel, brass or nylon. They are designed to work in wood and particle board.[1]

Several golf clubs. From left to right are a driver, a putter, and an iron.
Golf clubs are used in the sport of golf to hit a golf ball. Each club is composed of a shaft with a lance(grip) and a clubhead. Woods are used for long-distance fairway shots; irons, the most versatile class used for a variety of shots, and putters, used mainly on the green to roll the ball into the cup.
An important variation in different clubs is loft, or the angle between the club's face and the vertical plane. It is loft that makes a golf ball leave the tee on an ascending trajectory, not the angle of swing; virtually all swings contact the ball with a horizontal motion. The impact of the club compresses the ball, while grooves on the clubface give the ball backspin (a clockwise spin when viewed from a parallel standpoint to the left of the ball). Together, the compression and backspin create lift. The majority of woods and irons are labeled with a number; higher numbers indicate shorter shafts and higher lofts, which give the ball a higher and shorter trajectory.
While the variation of clubs can differ greatly between golfers, a set used to play a round of golf must have no more than 14 clubs. A full set typically consists of a driver, two fairway woods (generally 3- and 5-woods), a set of irons from 3 to 9, a pitching wedge, a sand wedge, a putter, and one more club of the player's choice. Many amateurs opt to avoid the 3- and 4-irons (that many find difficult to hit), and replace them with more forgiving clubs, like hybrids.

Club Types
Woods
Main article: Wood (golf)
Woods are long-distance clubs, meant to drive the ball a great distance down the fairway towards the hole. They generally have a large head and a long shaft for maximum club speed. Historically woods were made from Persimmon wood although some manufacturers - notably Ping - developed laminated woods. In the late 1980s manufacturers started using metals (steel or titanium); even more recently manufacturers have started using materials such as carbon fiber or scandium. Even though most 'woods' are made from different metals they are still called 'Woods' to denote the general shape and their intended use on the golf course. Most woods made today have a graphite shaft and titanium head.
Irons
Main article: Iron (golf)
Irons are golf clubs with a flat angled face and a shorter shaft than a wood, designed for shots approaching the green or from more difficult lies such as the rough, through or over trees, or the base of hills. As with woods, "irons" get their name because they were originally made from cast iron. High-loft irons are called wedges. The higher the number gets on the scale, the lower amount of angle difference from 90 degrees. Irons are often cavity back or muscleback. A cavity back iron is any iron in which a small to large amount of the metal across the back of the head is removed, allowing that weight to be re-positioned on the perimeter of the head, farther away from the head's center of gravity. A muscleback iron is the term given to any iron in which there is no cavity on the back of the head, i.e., the weight is more evenly distributed across the back of the clubhead.
Wedges
Wedges are irons with a higher loft than a 9 iron, which is typically lofted at about 42 degrees. Wedges are used for a variety of short-distance, high-altitude, high-accuracy shots such as hitting the ball onto the green ("approach" or "attack" shots), placing the ball accurately on the fairway for a better shot at the green ("lay-up" shots), or hitting the ball out of hazards or rough onto the green (chipping).
There are usually five types of wedges with lofts ranging from 45 to 60: pitching wedge (PW 48), gap wedge (GW 52), sand wedge (SW 56), lob wedge (LW 60), and ultra lob wedge (LW 64)[1]. The pitching wedge is sometimes called or labeled as a 10 iron, and the gap wedge is sometimes called an approach wedge and labeled with AW.
Hybrids
Main article: Hybrid (golf)
Hybrids are a cross between a wood and an iron, giving these clubs the wood's long distance with the iron's familiar swing. These clubs generally are used instead of high-numbered woods and/or low-numbered irons, though some manufacturers produce entire sets of hybrids or "iron replacements" that incorporate hybrid design to add distance and forgiveness to a player's entire set of irons from 1 to pitching wedge. Most hybrids take the place of an iron, but the hybrid is easier to hit than its respective iron. These clubs are often referred to as "Rescues" because the TaylorMade Rescue was one...(and so on)

Aldo Rossi.

Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht.

"Monumento ai Partigiani", 1965.
Aldo Rossi (May 3, 1931 - September 4, 1997) was an Italian architect and designer who accomplished the unusual feat of achieving international recognition in three distinct areas: theory, drawing, and architecture.
Rossi was born in Milan, Italy. He graduated in architecture in 1959 from the Politecnico di Milano.
His earliest works of the 1960s were mostly theoretical and displayed a simultaneous influence of 1920s Italian modernism (see Giuseppe Terragni), classicist influences of Viennese architect Adolf Loos, and the reflections of the painter Giorgio De Chirico.
In his writings Rossi criticized the lack of understanding of the city in current architectural practice. He argued that a city must be studied and valued as something constructed over time; of particular interest are urban artifacts that withstand the passage of time. Rossi held that the city remembers its past (our "collective memory"), and that we use that memory through monuments; that is, monuments give structure to the city.
He became extremely influential in the late 1970s and 1980s as his body of built work expanded and for his theories promoted in his books The Architecture of the City (L'architettura della citt, 1966) and A Scientific Autobiography (Autobiografia scientifica, 1981).
Aldo Rossi died in a car accident in September 1997 in Milan.

Neo-Rationalist movement
Rossi is considered the founder of the Neo-Rationalist movement known as La Tendenza (see Rationalism). His influence in shaping European architectural thinking during this period is often compared to that of Robert Venturi in the USA; however, Rossi was clearly progressing Modernist views that were based on European urbanism whereas Venturi was a Post-Modernist.

This page of the 1722 notebook contains the gavotte from French Suite No. 5 (BWV 816).
The title Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach refers to either of two manuscript notebooks that the German Baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach presented to his second wife Anna Magdalena. Keyboard music (minuets, rondeaux, polonaises, chorales, sonatas, preludes, musettes, marches, gavottes) makes up most of both notebooks, and a few pieces for voice (songs, and arias) are included.
The two notebooks are known by their title page dates of 1722 and 1725. The title "Anna Magdalena notebook" is commonly used to refer to the latter. The primary difference between the two collections is that the 1722 notebook contains works only by Johann Sebastian Bach (including most of the French Suites), while the 1725 notebook is a compilation of music by both Bach and other composers of the era. It provides a nearly unparalleled glimpse into the domestic music of the 18th century and the musical tastes of the Bach family.

The 1722 notebook: French Suites and miscellany

This is the title page of the first (1722) notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach. Note the titles of the three Pfeiffer books written by Bach in the lower right corner.
This notebook contains 25 unbound sheets (including two blank pages), which is estimated to be approximately a third of the original size. It is not known what happened to the other pages. The back and the corners are decorated with brown leather; greenish paper is used for the cover. The title page is inscribed Clavier-Bhlein vor Anna Magdalena Bachin ANNO 1722 in Anna Magdalena's hand. For a reason so far unknown to researchers, Johann Sebastian wrote the titles of three books by theologian August Pfeiffer (died 1698) in the lower right corner of the title page:
"Ante Calvinismus" is a shortened and misspelled title of Anti-calvinismus, oder Unterredungen von der Reformierten Religion (literally "Anti-Calvinism, or Conversations about the reformed religion").
"Christen Schule item" refers to Pfeiffer's Evangelische Christen Schule ("Evangelical Christian School").
"AntiMelancholicus" refers to Anti-melancholicus, oder Melancholey-Vertreiber (literally "Anti-melancholy, or [something or someone used to drive out the melancholy]").
The notebook contains the following works, most in Johann Sebastian's hand:
Five keyboard suites. The first three are fragments of the pieces that are now known as the first three French Suites, BWV 812814. The next two are complete suites, French Suites Nos. 4 and 5, BWV 815816. The minuets of suites 2 and 3 are separated from the rest of their respective suites and were most probably added at a later date by Anna Magdalena Bach (they are almost certainly in her hand), some time before 1725.
Fantasia pro organo, unfinished, BWV 573. A short organ piece, 12 complete bars and the beginning notes of the 13th bar.
Air with variations in C minor, unfinished, BWV 991. The first 10 bars feature coherent two-part writing, but the remaining 35 bars only have one voice written out.
esus, meine Zuversicht, chorale prelude, BWV 728. A brief (9 bars) piece in three voices, features two sections with repeats for each.
inuet in G major, BWV 841 (not to be confused with Petzold's Minuet in G Major in the 1725 notebook). A short dance with simplistic two-part writing and two sections with repeats for each.
The 1725 notebook

Cover of the second (1725) notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach.
The 1725 notebook is bigger than the 1722 one, and more richly decorated. Light green paper is used for the front cover, Anna Magdalena's initials and the year number "1725" are printed in gold. All pages feature gilt edging. Most of the entries in the 1725 notebook were made by Anna Magdalena herself, with others written in the hand of Johann Sebastian, some by sons Johann Christian and Carl Philipp Emanuel, and a few by family friends such as Johann Gottfried Bernhard and Johann Gottfried Heinrich. Although the 1725 notebook does contain work composed by Johann Sebastian Bach, it also includes works by many other composers. The authorship of several pieces is identified in the notebook itself, while that of others was established by researchers. The composers of still others, including several popular songs of the time, remain unknown. Here is a complete list of the pieces included, in order of appearance in the notebook:
Keyboard partita in A minor, BWV 827. This is the third partita from Bach's set of Partitas for keyboard BWV 825830, which was published in 1731 as the first volume of Clavier-ung.

A passenger ship is a ship whose primary function is to carry passengers. The category does not include cargo vessels which have accommodations for limited numbers of passengers, such as the ubiquitous twelve-passenger freighters once common on the seas in which the transport of passengers is secondary to the carriage of freight. The type does however include many classes of ships designed to transport substantial numbers of passengers as well as freight. Indeed, until recently virtually all ocean liners were able to transport mail, package freight and express, and other cargo in addition to passenger luggage, and were equipped with cargo holds and derricks, kingposts, or other cargo-handling gear for that purpose. Only in more recent ocean liners and in virtually all cruise ships has this cargo capacity been eliminated.
While typically passenger ships are part of the merchant marine, passenger ships have also been used as troopships and often are commissioned as naval ships when used as for that purpose.

Types
Passenger ships include ferries, which are vessels for day or overnight short-sea trips moving passengers and vehicles (whether road or rail); ocean liners, which typically are passenger or passenger-cargo vessels transporting passengers and often cargo on longer line voyages; and cruise ships, which often transport passengers on round-trips, in which the trip itself and the attractions of the ship and ports visited are the principal draw.
An ocean liner is the traditional form of passenger ship. Once such liners operated on scheduled line voyages to all inhabited parts of the world. With the advent of airliners transporting passengers and specialized cargo vessels hauling freight, line voyages have almost died out. But with their decline came an increase in sea trips for pleasure, and in the latter part of the 20th century ocean liners gave way to cruise ships as the predominant form of large passenger ship, with the main area of activity changing from the North Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean Sea.
Although some ships have characteristics of both types, the design priorities of the two forms are different: ocean liners value speed and traditional luxury while cruise ships value amenities (swimming pools, theaters, ball rooms, casinos, sports facilities, etc.) rather than speed. These priorities produce different designs. In addition, ocean liners typically were built to cross the Atlantic Ocean between Europe and the United States or travel even further to South America or Asia while cruise ships typically serve shorter routes with more stops along coastlines or among various islands.
For a long time cruise ships were smaller than the old ocean liners had been, but in the 1980s this changed when Knut Kloster, the director of Norwegian Caribbean Lines, bought one of the biggest surviving liners, the SS France, and transformed her into a huge cruise ship, which he renamed the SS Norway. Her success demonstrated that there was a market for large cruise ships. Successive classes of ever-larger ships were ordered, until the Cunard liner Queen Elizabeth was finally dethroned from her 56-year reign as the largest passenger ship ever built (a dethronement that led to numerous further dethronements from the same position).
Both the RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2) (1969) and her successor as Cunard's flagship RMSQueen Mary 2 (QM2), which entered service in 2004, are of hybrid construction. Like transatlantic ocean liners, they are fast ships and strongly built to withstand the rigors of the North Atlantic in line voyage service,[1] but both ships are also designed to operate as cruise ships, with the amenities expected in that trade. QM2 superseded the Explorer of the Seas of the Royal Caribbean line as the largest passenger ship ever built, and in turn was surpassed by Royal Caribbean's cruise ship Freedom of the Seas. The latter ship, and her sisters, will in turn be superseded by ships of the Oasis Class scheduled for delivery starting in 2009. [2]
Measures of size
By convention and long usage, the size of civilian passenger ships is measured by gross tonnage, which is a measure of enclosed volume. Gross tonnage is not a measure of weight, although the two concepts are often confused. Weight is measured by displacement, which is the conventional means of measuring naval vessels. Often a passenger ship is stated to "weigh" or "displace" a certain "tonnage", but the figure given nearly always refers to gross tons.
While a high displacement can indicate better sea keeping abilities,[3] gross tonnage is promoted as the most important measure of size for passengers, as the ratio of gross tonnage per passenger the Passenger/Space Ratio gives a sense of the spaciousness of a ship, an...(and so on)

A typical wagonway. The Little Eaton GangwayThis is a flangeway with flanges on the rails.
Wagonways are the horses, equipment, and tracks used for hauling wagons which preceded steam powered railways. There are two styles of waggonway and two spellings. "Wagonway" tends to relate to examples based on the smaller Shropshire model, and "waggonway" to examples based on the Newcastle area model, used for carrying coal. The terms 'tramway' and in someplaces 'dramway' are also found.

Overview
The idea of using "tracked" roads is at least 2000 years old; quarries in Greece, Malta, and the Roman Empire used cut stone tracks to haul loads pulled by animals. Around 1550 German miners used wooden tubs known as "Hund" (German for dog) running on two wide boards for rails to move ore within mines. These hunts used a guide pin system for steering utilising the slot between the two board rails. In 1604 Huntingdon Beaumont completed a wagonway, (the Wollaton Wagonway) built to transport coal from the mines at Strelley to Wollaton just west of Nottingham, England. Wagonways have been proven to exist in Broseley, Shropshire from 1605, although it is widely believed that they were in evidence prior to this.[1]
Wagonways improved coal transport by allowing one horse to deliver between 10 to 13 tons of coal per run - an approximate fourfold increase. Wagonways were usually designed to carry the fully loaded wagons downhill to a canal or boat dock and then return the empty wagons back to the mine.
At the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, the rails were made of wood; were a few inches wide; and were fastened down, end to end, on logs of wood, or "sleepers", placed crosswise at intervals of two or three feet. In time, it became a common practice to cover them with a thin flat sheathing or "plating" of iron, in order to add to their life and reduce friction. This caused more wear on the wooden rollers of the wagons, and, towards the middle of the 18th century, led to the introduction of iron wheels, the use of which is recorded on a wooden railway near Bath in 1734. But the iron sheathing was not strong enough to resist buckling under the passage of the loaded wagons, so rails made wholly of iron were invented.
Iron rails
The first iron rails
In 1767, the Coalbrookdale Iron Works began to cast iron rails. These were probably 6 foot (1829 mm) long, with four projecting ears or lugs (3 inches by 3.75 inches or 76 mm x 96 mm) to enable them to be fixed to the sleepers. The rails were 3.75 inches (96 mm) wide and 1.25 inches (32 mm) thick. Later descriptions also refer to rails 3 foot (915 mm) long and only 2 inches (51 mm) wide.[1]
Flangeways
A later system involved "L" shaped iron rails or plates, each 3 ft (915 mm) long and 4 in (102 mm) wide, having on the inner side an upright ledge or flange, 3 in (76 mm) high at the centre and tapering to a height of 2 in (51 mm) at the ends, for the purpose of keeping the flat wheels on the track. Subsequently, to increase the strength, a similar flange was added below the rail. Wooden sleepers continued to be used the rails being secured by spikes passing through the extremities but, circa 1793, stone blocks also began to be used, an innovation associated with the name of Benjamin Outram, who, however, was not the first to make it. This type of rail was known as the plate-rail, tramway-plate or way-plate, names which are preserved in the modern term "platelayer" applied to the men who lay and maintain the permanent way of a railway.
The wheels of a flangeway were plain, and could operate on ordinary roads.

Another form of rail, the edge rail, was first used by William Jessop on a line which was opened as part of the Charnwood Forest Canal between Loughborough and Nanpantan in Leicestershire in 1789. This line was originally designed as a plateway on the Outram system, but objections were raised to rails with upstanding ledges or flanges being laid on the turnpike road, this difficulty was overcome by paving, or "causewaying", the road up to the level of the top of the flanges. In 1790 Jessop and his partner Outram began to manufacture edge-rails. Another example of the edge rail application was the Lake Lock Rail Road used primarily for coal transport. This was a public railway (charging a toll) and opened for traffic in 1798....(and so on)

The Honda CX series motorcycles (including the GL500 and GL650 variants) were developed and released in the late 1970s, with production ending in most markets by the mid 1980s. The design included innovative features and technologies that were uncommon or unused at the time such as: liquid cooling, electric-only starting, low-maintenance shaft drive, Com-Star modular wheels, and dual CV-type carburettors that were tuned for reduced emissions. The electronic ignition system was separated from the rest of the electrical system, enabling the motorcycle to be push-started and ridden in case of a total electrical system failure.
In their day these bikes were much favoured by commercial despatch riders in the UK.
It was Honda's plan that the CX series would compete favorably with smaller Moto Guzzi and BMW cycles. Therefore a lot of resources were invested in achieving an optimum design the first time. The CX series motorcycles are considered to be a great all-purpose medium-sized standard with city-bike reliability and heavier short to medium range sport-touring capability. The CX continues to be an increasing fan-base to the present day and are having a renaissance as people find older examples worthy of restoration.

Engine
The CX series motorcycles feature a crankshaft configuration aligned longitudinally with the axis of bike, sometimes called a "flying" V-twin, because the cylinders point up on either side of the motorcycle but are not symmetrical. The CX was the first V-twin motorcycle that Honda ever built. Honda built a prototype CX350 but it was never released to the public. In this version the cylinders did not have the characteristic 22degree twist.[1] Initially conceived as having a full 90degree angle between the cylinders like the similar Italian Moto Guzzi machines, early testers reported that the prototypes were too smooth. Also, the carburettors, which projected directly rearward from the cylinders, tended to interfere with the knees of riders. Subsequent engine designs had their V-angle tightened somewhat to 80degrees, and the heads twisted inward at the rear by 22degrees.
An innovative design places the crankshaft *above* the transmission, with both in the same housing. This keeps the engine short but quite tall.
The engine design combines a 10.0:1 compression ratio and 9,650rpm redline with overhead valves and a camshaft nestled at the base of the V between the cylinders. There are four overhead valves per cylinder, with unique forked rocker arms acting off each pushrod. The engine runs well on 87octane petrol. It delivers nearly 50hp (37kW) at 9500rpm with high low-speed torque characteristics. The Honda CX series machines claimed to outperform other motorcycles of comparable displacement. The motorcycle readily achieves a fuel efficiency of 45 miles per gallon, with figures of over 50mpg not at all uncommon[citation needed]. Moto Guzzi, however, with their contemporary V50 Monza, delivered 48hp at 7600rpm. This was from an aircooled, 2 valve 90 V-twin which delivered well over 55mpg but also had the standard Italian foibles of the time with its questionable electric reliability. This Guzzi model is little known outside Europe, so a direct comparison with Honda's CX 500 is possible only on paper or amongst motorcycle enthusiasts.[2]
The cylinder bores are cast in the crankcase which complicates the overhaul process although many examples have gone 200,000 miles or more without any major engine work.
Transmission
The transmission spins opposite the engine crank to counteract the engine torque's tendency to tip the bike slightly to one side when the throttle is opened or closed. The gear shift lever is moved with the usual up-down motion of the left foot, but instead of rocking in a forward-backward motion as on regular bikes, it moves left-right. This difference is transparent to the rider, however, and requires no change in shifting technique. It also means that it is not possible to adjust foot peg and gear lever setup when personalizing riding position.
Power is transferred via an enclosed splined driveshaft with one universal joint. The shaft drives a bevel gear to which the...(and so on)
