CANNIBALISATION PROCEDURES
INTRODUCTION
1. The transfer of serviceable aeronautical product from one aircraft or higher assembly to another is sometimes necessary to overcome temporary logistic problems in meeting operational requirements. This practice is commonly called cannibalisation, which is a short-term management method used to generate aircraft or aeronautical product after a failure in the logistics pipeline.
2. Cannibalisation is a short-term expediency that consumes workhours, and is indicative of shortcomings in the logistics pipeline. Transfers must be closely controlled to ensure that short-term expediencies do not lead to more serious long-term management problems. Where particular aeronautical product is transferred repeatedly, or where increasing maintenance effort is indicative of transfer trends, authorising officers are to investigate the cause and initiate resolution.
3. The transfer of aeronautical product between aircraft is only permitted when such action is necessary to support an essential flying or maintenance program.
4. This chapter prescribes the Approved Maintenance Organisation (AMO) responsibilities and procedures to be followed when transferring aeronautical product.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Senior Maintenance Manager
5. The Senior Maintenance Manager (SMM) is responsible for authorising and controlling all transfers of aeronautical product between aircraft and other aeronautical product within their AMO. The SMM may delegate this responsibility to appropriately qualified personnel who are to be promulgated in local instructions.
Systems Program Office
6. The responsible Systems Program Office (SPO) is the authorising authority for the transfer of aeronautical product from aircraft in storage.
CANNIBALISATION PROCEDURES
7. An aircraft is not to be cannibalised to such an extent as to render the eventual replacement of transferred aeronautical product beyond the AMOs resources.
8. The cannibalisation of aeronautical product is not to be used for troubleshooting when a serviceable aeronautical product is available from the logistics pipeline.
9. Prior to authorising the transfer of aeronautical product the following factors must be considered:
 1. What is the real operational/maintenance need. Can the program or maintenance schedule be adjusted without significant detriment so as to obviate the need for cannibalisation.
 2. The workhours involved in the cannibalisation.
 3. When would the aeronautical product be available on the highest allowable priority demand.
 4. Is there an alternative.
 5. Is the next higher assembly available.
 6. Can the aeronautical product be repaired, if so, would the time delay be acceptable.
 7. Can the aeronautical product be manufactured locally, or in Australia, if so, would the time delay be acceptable.
 8. The configuration and serviceability of the aeronautical product being considered for transfer.
 9. Availability of consumable and/or incidental aeronautical product required to transfer the aeronautical product and later to replace the aeronautical product in the aircraft or aeronautical product from which it was transferred.
 10. The likelihood of damage to the aeronautical product during removal, troubleshooting or replacement.
 11. Functional/Incidental tests or adjustments required on both donor and receiver systems.
 12. Introduction of safety, security or storage problems.
 13. The effect on the cannibalised system, eg deterioration, loose parts.
 14. The effect on availability of spare parent equipment, eg engine, main rotor gearbox.
10. After the authorisation process has been completed, the AMO must ensure that:
 1. The unserviceable aeronautical product is placed in the repair loop without delay.
 2. The transfer is accounted for.
 3. Where an aeronautical product is transferred from an aircraft or other aeronautical product an entry; '...(insert details)... transferred to service ...(insert details)...' is to be made in the recording and certification system.
 4. Action is to be taken as necessary to prevent damage or deterioration to a cannibalised aircraft or other aeronautical product which may occur due to the temporary removal of aeronautical product, eg any orifices exposed must be suitably blanked.
 5. Replacement aeronautical product is to be demanded, with the appropriate priority, against the cannibalised aircraft, or other aeronautical product.
 6. When the replacement aeronautical product is received it is to be installed in the cannibalised aircraft, or other aeronautical product. If the product is installed in another aircraft, or other aeronautical product, it is to be reordered for the cannibalised aircraft.
 7. Before a transferred aeronautical product is installed, it must be inspected, serviced or functional/ performance tested in accordance with the relevant publications to confirm serviceability. Details of such work are to be recorded in the recording and certification system.
 8. Transferred aeronautical product that cannot be functional/performance tested before installation is to be tested to confirm serviceability after installation and before flight. If this is not possible, the SMM or delegate may authorise a Maintenance Test Flight or an Air Test to confirm serviceability of the aeronautical product.
 9. The life expired and/or servicing details of the cannibalised aeronautical product is transferred from the previous aircraft/equipment location.
11. Each AMO is to maintain a register of all transfer actions carried out (internal and external) and report the action in the Monthly Flying and Maintenance Report (MFMR) or Monthly Maintenance Report (MMR).

A string trio is a group of three string instruments or a piece written for such a group. The term is generally used with reference to works of chamber music from the Classical period to the present. From at least the 19th century on, the term "string trio" with otherwise unspecified instrumentation normally refers to the combination violin, viola and cello (cf "string quartet", "piano trio" etc.). This is how the term is used by major catalogs, including IMSLP.

Beginning in the second half of the 18th century, although the trio configuration for two violins and cello was not wholly abandoned in classical chamber music (even during the 19th century), the scoring for violin, viola, and cello began to take precedence. Joseph Haydn appears to have been the first composer to use this combination (Tilmouth and Smallman 2001), though he was soon emulated by Luigi Boccherini (Kennedy 1994).

Optimal Collection of Data for Parameter Identificationby F. E. Udwadia, Univ of Southern California, Los, Angeles, CA, USA,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Dynamic Response of Structures
Abstract: In this paper, the author attempts to study the optimal spacing of measurements for a structural system modelled by a single-degree-of-freedom oscillator so that the variance of one or more of the parameters being identified is minimized. The study starts with a linear oscillator, and using Fourier transforms, derives a set of linear algebraic equations. The condition on the measurement frequencies so that the estimated variance of either the mass parameter, the stiffness parameter or the damping parameter is minimal is derived analytically. It is also found that there may exist a set of frequencies at which no additional information on that parameter is available, yielding no reduction in its estimated variance. The determination of the optimal measurement frequencies depends solely on the nature of the forcing function used in the identification procedure and are invariant with respect to the actual values of the parameters being estimated.

We report on a new method to identify active galactic nuclei (AGN) among unidentified INTEGRAL sources. This method consists of cross-correlating unidentified objects listed in the fourth IBIS survey with infrared (IR) and radio catalogues to look for possible counterparts and then verifying, by means of X-ray and optical follow-up observations, the likelihood of these associations. In particular we discuss here a sample of eight objects, six of which have been possibly identified as AGN.

The beginning of tunnel engineering can be seen in the 1.1 km long Tronquoy Tunnel in France built in 1803. Here, for the first time, a large area of excavation in difficult ground conditions was realized. In the second half of the 19th century, the first attempts were undertaken to calculate the loading on the timber work and the permanent lining. Of special interest is the origin and development of the technology of steel linings, sprayed concrete linings and rock anchors. Technical innovations, a growing insight into the mode of action, as well as economic factors helped it to gain full acceptance as far back as the 1950s.

A guide to deposit protection schemes
As a landlord there are plenty of different rules and regulations that you need to think about in order to rent out your property. One of the biggest of these are Deposit Protection Schemes (DPS) but what are these schemes and why is it so vital that you have an awareness and understanding of how they work?
What is DPS?
When you rent a property, whether privately or through a letting agent, then you will have most likely been asked to pay a deposit. This deposit will depend on the property that you are renting as well as the agreement that you have with the landlord or agent. The important thing is the way the deposit is handled.
Any property that has been rented after the 6th April 2007 requires the landlord to place the paid deposit it a tenancy deposit scheme which is government backed.
There are a variety of different schemes out there that the landlord can decide to use, however, it has to be recognised and backed by the Government. As a landlord, you are also responsible for advising the tenant where their deposit is held and how they can raise a dispute should they require it later on in the process.
Why do you need it?
The idea behind a deposit is that it is a sum of money paid by the tenant to ensure that they look after and maintain the property whilst they rent it from you. If there are any problems when they leave the property such as overdue rent or damage, then the deposit can be withheld in order to meet the costs paid out by the landlord or the letting agent.
Without a deposit being paid into a DPS the landlord is liable, not the tenant. A tenant can seek legal advice as to whether or not their landlord has acted correctly, and if they haven't then regardless of the situation the landlord will need to either repay the deposit back to the tenant or find a DPS that they can place it into.
In some circumstances, a landlord may also find that the court order them to pay out as much as three times the deposit that the tenant paid, back to the tenant, all within 14 days of them making the order.
If this wasn't enough to convince you, then it is important to remember that you always want to be seen in a good light. Whilst being a landlord isn't a job as such, it is something that you should approach seriously and want to do properly. Not only will this help you along the way but will also ensure that your tenants see you as a landlord that they want to continue to rent with.
As you can see, DPS is an incredibly important part of letting out a property and is a part of the process that you should never ignore. Not only does it protect you, but also your tenants too, making sure that you are taking the first steps towards being the very best landlord that you can be.

text: Scott?s painting was inspired by Edmund Spencer?s sixteenth-century poem 'The Faerie Queen?. In the poem, Una is the beautiful young daughter of a king and queen who have been imprisoned by a ferocious dragon. Una undertakes a quest to free her parents, but on her journey she encounters a fierce lion. The lion is so captivated by Una?s innocence and beauty that he abandons his plan to eat her, and vows instead to become her protector and companion. Scott shows Una gently resting her fingers in the lion?s terrific mane, as they make their way through the autumnal wood together. This painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1860, but Scott returned to the picture much later in his life and retouched various parts, including Una?s face and dress.

This case study investigation reflects on the use of metaphors to teach postgraduate education students the importance of personal bias and subjectivity to their research, and advocates the use of critical reflexivity to deal with it. Students are reluctant to be critically reflective as they can feel threatened by the reflective process, feel they can sit apart or outside their research, write without bias and/or feel critical reflection may damage their research findings. It explores the effectiveness of an approach to overcome this reluctance by applying a metaphor. In a Zambian research class, students introduced a metaphor for personal bias by likening it to an encounter with a hidden hippopotamus. These are difficult to tame, hard to deal with, and can remain hidden for a long time. They appear unexpectedly, cannot be ignored, and awareness the main defence. Subsequent dissertations showed an improved early adoption of critical reflexivity. This metaphor was then used as a key discussion point on a postdoctoral education programme in the UK and investigated formally using focus groups. Students reported a greater understanding of personal bias, recognised the importance of being critically reflexive, and felt the metaphor was instrumental in their understanding of the need to advise of their position in the research. Underpinning this approach is the assertion that metaphors can help explain personal traits that are difficult for individuals to describe (Hoggan, 2016). The use of a personal values framework; morality, competency, personal and social behaviour, provided a supportive writing framework resulting in an increase in critical reflexivity early in the students research.

FISHERMEN across Dorset have been urged to be vigilant, following a number of reports of wild salmon exhibiting red skin disease in the UK.
The disease, which manifests as a rash on wild Atlantic salmon and sea trout, causes bleeding and sores on the belly and near the mouth of the fish.
This can lead to fungal infection and eventual death.
While there is no evidence that eating contaminated fish can harm humans, if left unchecked, this unusual condition has the ability to impact wild stocks, which are already in decline.
The red skin disease was first reported in rivers flowing into the Baltic Sea and the North Atlantic around 2018 and has since been seen in parts of the UK.
The cause of RSD is currently unknown.
Poole Police have posted a wildlife update on their Facebook page asking Dorset fishermen to help by recording any suspected cases they may come across.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the Environment Agency said: "We have not reported any deaths associated with ventral hemorrhage in wild salmonids in England, but we have received reports of 'a small number of fish caught by anglers showing changes consistent with red skin disease.
âOur staff who operate salmon traps as part of our national index monitoring program have also observed a small number of cases.
"We ask fishermen to be vigilant but not to remove or handle fish in distress.
"The same goes for anglers to take carefully pictures of fish with unusual markings if it is possible in complete safety, to practice good biosecurity and to respect our advice on disinfection or to" clean, check, dry " equipment after fishing and before moving to other waters. "
To report dead or dying fish, contact the incident hotline on 0800 80 70 60.


The Bellwin Scheme for Emergency Financial Assistance to Local Authorities
1. What is the Bellwin Scheme?
The Bellwin Scheme operates under Section 155(2) of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 and allows Scottish Ministers to make additional revenue support to local authorities to assist with the immediate, and unforeseen costs in dealing with the aftermath of emergency incidents.
It is a discretionary scheme, which exists to give special financial assistance to local authorities who would otherwise be faced with an undue financial burden as a result of providing relief and carrying out immediate work due to large-scale emergencies. Local authorities are expected to include a small amount within their annual budget to deal with unforeseen emergencies. There is no automatic entitlement to assistance. flooding image
2. How does the Bellwin Scheme operate?
When it becomes obvious that there is an emergency which is creating immediate demands on local government, the Scottish Executive Ministers will decide whether the Scheme should be triggered. Once the Scheme has been triggered, affected authorities are invited to submit claims. The Scheme may be activated to meet the additional expense for authorities in providing immediate relief, in safeguarding life and property in affected communities and in keeping key communications open in the immediate aftermath of an emergency. Its purpose is not to put right all the ill effects of an incident. Applications for assistance must demonstrate undue financial burdens on authorities.
3. What costs are eligible for assistance?
The Scheme addresses revenue costs only and eligible costs are subject to a threshold which is set individually for each local authority and takes account of an assumed amount contained within each local authority's budget. Payment of a grant is made in full in respect of total eligible expenditure, after deduction of the threshold.
Costs which are considered to be insurable are not considered eligible under the Scheme but an element for insurance excess is considered eligible.
4. When was the Bellwin scheme last reviewed?
A review of the Bellwin Scheme was undertaken in 2005. A summary of the responses that were received and the Executive response to the consultation exercise can be found by following the links below.

PPL Tutor Help Center
The CAA e-Exams
Written by Karl Bunyan
Updated 4 months ago
All PPL Ground School exams in the UK are now taken through the CAA's e-Exam System. This differs from the old system in that there is now a much larger question bank, and questions are randomised (rather than being one of three non-changing papers). The syllabus, however, is the same.
At PPL Tutor we've always believed that the best way to prepare for the exams was also the best way to prepare for flying i.e. learn the material rather than just the answers. Although we realise that being able to practice the exact exams before you sit them "for real" is a real benefit, the larger question bank means that 1) there are many more questions a student would have to attempt to memorise, if that was how they wanted to pass and 2) it's much harder for any exam application to mirror that database.
Given that, we are taking the approach of expanding both our question banks and our revision content so we can help you to learn the subject, not just the questions.
Plus, of course, we provide all Air Law content for free. As this is generally the first exam to be taken then, as before, the best approach is to study and practice for this exam with PPL Tutor and if you think the application has helped you to pass then you can consider paying for the other subjects.

[[PageOutline(2-5,Contents,pullout)]] = Ticket Tree for Trac = A Trac plugin to display tickets in a tree, organized based on structured ticket titles. Often struggled with thousands of Trac tickets and missing a clear picture of where the problems are? Ticket Tree allows you to categorize your tickets based on the areas affected. Given this categorization, you can then display the tickets in a tree, getting a better picture of the areas and sub-areas with more problems. In addition to that, the tree view lets you navigate your tickets more easily. The categorization mechanism is really simple, as it's based on the ticket title. You will use the dash '-' character to define the category and sub-categories in your tickets. For example, giving the following title to a ticket: User Interface - Main menu - File menu - Unable to click on the "Open File" item will display your ticket in the tree as follows: + User Interface + Main menu + File menu Unable to click on the "Open File" item [[BR]] [[BR]] [[Image(screen2.jpg)]] [[BR]] '''The ticket tree, completely expanded''' [[BR]] [[BR]] [[Image(screen1.jpg)]] [[BR]] '''The ticket tree, partially collapsed''' [[BR]] [[BR]] == Statistics == Next to each category you will see the number of all tickets, and the detail of open and closed tickets, in that category. == Searching and Filtering == You can quickly search and filter tickets in the tree using the "Find" text box. Just start typing text in it to see your ticket tree reducing and highlighting only the tickets matching your text. You can type more than one word: only the tickets matching all of them will be displayed. Special words are "open" and "closed": they will limit the view to only open and closed tickets, respectively. [[BR]] [[BR]] [[Image(screen3.jpg)]] [[BR]] '''Searching for the "process" string in ticket titles''' [[BR]] [[BR]] == The Macro and how to use a Query == The plugin provides a macro, which lets you build custom ticket trees based on specific ticket queries. Used without any parameter, the macro will display a tree with all of the tickets. Edit your preferred wiki page and add the following snippet to use the macro without any parameter.

This paper shows some guidelines to improve the estimation accuracy of a navigation system, which is based on wide-field-integration (WFI) of optic flow. Optic flow is a vector field of relative velocities obtained by photoreceptors in image sensors, and WFI of optic flow enables motion estimation robust by integrating wide range of optic flow. Since the system has several attractive features (small size, light weight, and low computation), it is applicable to an autonomous control system of micro air vehicles. However, due to some restrictions of real systems, WFI of optic flow theory should be applied while considering sensor arrangement for better estimation. In this paper, first an adequate number and adequate optical-axes of image sensors are investigated. Then, a new estimation system combining a gyro sensor with WFI of optic flow is discussed by numerical simulations. Finally, the essential effect for the number of cameras are verified in experiments.

The Blackfriars Bridge over the River Thames was constructed back in Victorian times, and now it's getting a distinctly steampunk facelift with the addition of 4,400 photovoltaic panels. When complete, this installation is expected to be not only the largest solar power array in the United Kingdom, but also the world's largest solar bridge.
The bridge, constructed in 1886, forms the foundation for the new Blackfriars station, which is being upgraded by Network Rail to meet the needs of more passengers and an improved train service. As part of these improvements, a new roof will be added to the historic structure with over 6,000 square meters (around 19,685 square feet) of solar panels.
All this renewable energy will be delivered directly to the Blackfriars rail station, covering 50 percent of the station's energy needs and reducing CO2 emissions by an estimated 511 tons per year. The station will also be pursuing such eco-improvements as a rain harvesting system and solar tubes to allow for more natural lighting throughout the building.
London's Solarcentury is behind the project's solar engineering, working in conjunction with engineers from Jacobs to incorporate solar generation into the station design; the high-efficiency solar modules utilized by the project come courtesy of Sanyo.

IZA DP No. 4414: Who Compares to Whom? The Anatomy of Income Comparisons in Europe
published in: Economic Journal, 2010, 120 (544), 573-594
This paper provides unprecedented direct evidence from large-scale survey data on both the intensity (how much?) and direction (to whom?) of income comparisons. Income comparisons are considered to be at least somewhat important by three-quarters of Europeans. They are associated with both lower levels of subjective well-being and a greater demand for income redistribution. The rich compare less and are more happy than average when they do, which latter is consistent with relative income theory. With respect to the direction of comparisons, colleagues are the most frequently-cited reference group. Those who compare to colleagues are happier than those who compare to other benchmarks; comparisons to friends are both less widespread and are associated with the lowest well-being scores. This is consistent with information effects, as colleagues' income arguably contains more information about the individual's own future prospects than do the incomes of other reference groups. Last, there is some evidence that reference groups are endogenous, with individuals tending to compare to those with whom they interact the most often.

Freshcaller allows you to transfer calls to another agent, team, or contact available within your account. Additionally, you can transfer calls to an external number
Call transfers are useful when you think that another team member has better expertise to resolve a customer's query, or sometimes, customers may want to talk to a specific agent. This helps deliver faster resolutions to the customer without making them go around in circles or hold the line for too long.
User Requirements
Agents, supervisors, admins, and account admins can transfer calls.
Types of Call Transfers
You can initiate two types of call transfers:
 - Warm Transfer
 A warm transfer allows you to have a brief conversation with another agent or a contact in your team before transferring the call to the customer. You can provide all the necessary details about the customer's query to another agent so that the customer does not have to repeat their question.
 - Cold Transfer
 Unlike a warm transfer, this option directly transfers the call to the second agent you selected. The second agent can choose to accept or reject the call.
When you initiate a warm or cold transfer, the customer will be put on hold until the other agent accepts the call.
To initiate a warm/cold transfer:
 1. During a live call, click on the phone icon to see the active (online) agents or contacts. You can use the search bar at the top to search for the names.
 When you enter a letter or a number, the search results display all the agents, teams, or contact names having the letter or number you entered. To see the team's active agents, click on the arrow next to the team/group name. The number next to the team name indicates the number of active/online agents in that team.
 Note: The contact names you see are the names you added/imported to your account.
 2. Warm Transfer
 To initiate a warm transfer, select the agent, team/group, or a contact name and click on the forward icon.
 Note that you can initiate a warm transfer only to individual agents within a team/group. For this reason, the warm transfer icon will not be visible next to the team name.
 3. Cold Transfer
 To initiate a cold transfer, select the agent, team/group, or a contact name and click on the phone icon.
 You can also select an entire team to initiate a cold transfer. In this case, all online agents in that particular team will receive the call, and anyone can choose to answer the call.
 For example, if you want to transfer the call to any agent in the US team, select the US team and click on the cold transfer icon.
 4. Once you initiate a warm or cold transfer, you will see the following screen.
 5. After the other agent answers the call, the customer on hold will be connected to the second agent, who is now the primary agent.
 If you initiate a warm transfer, you can disconnect the call after giving the necessary details. However, you will be disconnected immediately once the second agent answers the call in case of a cold transfer.
 The second agent will see the following notification when a call is transferred from the first agent.
 Dialpad in Warm Transfer:
 When you initiate a warm transfer, you can also use the dialpad to transfer the call to agent 2. The dialpad can be useful if the agent 2 has an IVR set up and wants to use the dialpad to enter the IVR option.
 Transferring Calls to External Number:
 To place a warn or cold transfer to an external number, enter the phone number in the search box, and choose between cold or warm transfer.
Tip: Transferring Calls with Call Notes
It is always recomended to add call notes before you transfer the call to another agent. The call notes help the other agent in understanding the customer's query better. Also, it eliminates the need for the customer to repeat the entire problem again.
 1. When you transfer calls, call notes are automatically transferred from Agent 1 to Agent 2.
 2. If Agent 2 is not available, Agent 1 will be able to resume the call.
Call recordings during Warm Transfers:
 1. If the Freshcaller number has " Record all calls," "Record incoming calls," or "Record outgoing calls" options enabled, then the conversation between Agent 1 and the customer is saved as recording 1. The conversation between Agent 2 and the customer is saved as recording 2. Recording 2 starts when Agent 2 resumes the call from agent 1.
 2. If the setting is "Record calls manually," and Agent 1 had not started recording, then the recording will start only when the Agent 2 manually activates the recording feature.
 3. The conversation between the agents when the customer is on hold is not recorded.
 4. If the customer disconnects the call while the two agents are in conversation, Agent 2 (once connected) will hear an information message that the customer has disconnected. The call will then be terminated.

Hi, I have some questions I was hoping someone could answer. I am trying to model a sandwhich structure with carbon fibre skins and aluminium honeycomb core and then perform a 3 point bending test in the software if possible. 1. Could someone please explain what the reason is for selecting PCOMPP, PSOLID etc, what are the reasons for choosing one of them over another? 2. Which compersite property: PCOMPP, PSOLID, PSHELL, etc, do I need to select for the task I want to achieve (3-point bending simulation)? 3. Another question relates to my understanding of the MAT 8 card....would I be correct in saying that as MAT8 only asks for the in-plane properties, it would not be possible to get proper results for a 3-point bending test in the software? (Or does the software still work this out?) 4. Would I need to use the MAT9 card for what I am trying to do and in that case what composite property do I select, PCOMPP, PSOLID, PSHELL, etc? 4. If I select for example PCOMPP for the honeycomb properties, do I have to select PCOMPP for the carbon fibre skin properties? Regards
Good morning, I'm trying to change the material orientation in a component. I tried in different way to do the 3D mesh and I tried to use different properties. The geometry is a simple hollow cylinder. I'm using Hypermesh 2017.3. The material is defined as MAT9ORT. To check the material orientation I used Analysis->Systems->Material Orientation. Mesh methods: Method 1: 3D mesh done by using Drag elements along the cylinder axis. The material orientation is along the plane perpendicular to the cylinder axis; Method 2: 3D mesh by using 3D->Element Offset->Solid Layers. The material orientation is along the cylinder axis; Method 3: 3d mesh by converting a ply laminates using the Aerospace tool "Shell to Solid". The material orientation respected the orientation angle given during the plies creation. These material orientations remain valid only without any property assigned. When I assign a property, the orientation changes without an apparent logic. Properties: Prop. 1: PCOMPLS: modifying the THETA angle in the property card didn't cause any modification in the material orientation; Prop. 2: PSOLID: when assigned to the component, the material orientation change the direction randomly and doesn't respond to any modifications with material orientation tool.

More than one in two Australians who have a long-term health condition or disability experiences social exclusion.
Poor health and disability are strongly linked to social exclusion in Australia. In measuring social exclusion from the latest data (2010) we found that 52% of Australians who have a long-term health condition or disability experience some level of exclusion. One in eight (13%) experience deep social exclusion.
Over the 2001–10 period we measured, the frequency of social exclusion among people with a long-term health condition or disability dropped from 61% to 52%. The frequency of deep social exclusion also fell, from 21% to 13%.
In the graph below, the 'all social exclusion' line shows the total of marginal social exclusion and deep social exclusion.

BAY CITY, MI
— One of the most storied vessels coming to Bay City for this year's Tall Ship Celebration is Norway's
Billed as "the world's oldest and best kept full rigged ship," Sørlandet served as a training vessel and Norwegian Pavilion during the Chicago's World Fair of 1933. Later, it was used by the Germans during World War II for various purposes. It has been sunk, raised and repaired.
The following is a timeline of the ship's 86-year history:
1927: Constructed in the Høivolds Mek. Verksted shipyard and launched from Kristiansand, Norway. Designed to serve as schoolship for the merchant marine. Sails to Oslo on maiden voyage and inspected by her home country's king. Sails to London later the same year with 90 boys aboard.
1933: Makes first voyage to North America, specifically to the World Fair in Chicago. Makes history as first Norwegian training ship to cross the Atlantic Ocean.
Early 1940s/World War II: Used by German occupiers as an accommodation vessel for their submarines. Later used to house Russian prisoners of war. During an air raid, the ship sank in Norway's Kirkenes Bay; later risen and towed back to homeport of Kristiansand.
1948: Restored and able to sail once again.
1958: Outfitted with an engine and propeller for the first time.
1974: Stops being used as a training vessel and purchased by ship-owner Staubo. Anchored at Kilsund for next three years, during which she suffers considerable decay.
1977: Brought back to Kristiansand and given to the city by ship-owner Skjelbred.
_PHONE_: Sørlandet is the only operating Norwegian sail-training ship, with open cruises open to both sexes and people of all ages and nationalities. Undergoes rehabilitation.
1981: Nonprofit foundation Stiftelsen Fullriggeren Sørlandet founded, which continues to own and operate the ship. The Sørlandet sails across the Atlantic Ocean four times. Engaged in film shoot in New York and makes numerous trips between Bermuda and Boston.
1982: The Sørlandet hosts "Women of the Coast" exhibition while visiting about 60 seaside sites along the Norwegian coast. A total of 83,000 people visit the ship during the tour.
1986: Sørlandet crosses the Atlantic to participate in the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty.
1988: Has an uplift to maintain its appearance and functionality.
Late 1990s: The ship works with the Royal Norwegian Navy, Norwegian Shipowners Association and the local public Employment Office to offer six-week courses in sailing and general seamanship to strengthen recruitment of young seafarers.
Winter 1995/1996: Makes several cruises in the Caribbean.
2003-2007: Goes through extensive rehabilitation.
2010: Class Afloat begins using Sørlandet as a floating classroom, taking 11th and 12th graders across the world as part of their education.
2013: Returns to Great Lakes as part of Tall Ships America's Tall Ships Challenge, which includes a port visits to Bay City as part of the fifth-ever Tall Ship Celebration.

the World's Fastest Bicycle
Mr Lachlan Thompson FIEAust.
Research Leader Sports Technology, Department of Aerospace
Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Melbourne, Australia
Australian track cyclists won impressive victories at the
1995, '96 and '97 World Track Championships and the 15th Commonwealth
Games. The Australian team used with stunning effect a unique
carbon fibre monocoque bicycle designed and built by a project
team from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT
University) and the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS). Developed
in consultation with Charlie Walsh, the national track cycling
coach, this new bicycle, the 'AIS/RMIT Superbike', has allowed
the Australian riders like Shane Kelly to set new records.
Continued development has resulted in over twelve World Championship
titles and four world records. Including the World record
for the kilometre Individual Time Trial set by Shane Kelly
development and application of new wind tunnel testing techniques
have resulted in a fifteen per cent reduction in power over
the traditional diamond frame. Extensive use of a water tunnel
and wind tunnel have enabled the team to optimise the frame
profile for minimum aerodynamic interference from the rider's
leg motion. Structural design loads were derived from track

techniques were validated through extensive material testing.
Throughout the development program extensive use was made
of validated performance simulation. The simulation provided
evaluation of stiffness, aerodynamics and weight. These simulations
enabled rapid assessment of concepts. Track testing with power
meters and strain gauged frames were used to refine design
data and wind tunnel test techniques.
order to produce the resulting bicycle new manufacturing techniques
had to be developed. Unlike most equipment used by elite athletes
the AIS/RMIT 'Superbike' has been designed for low cost, high
volume manufacture. The hollow frame is moulded as a single
unit in a one shot process suitable for automation. The frame
was designed to accept standard group sets and wheels. The
AIS and RMIT University has lodged patents on the unique features
of the manufacturing process. Bicycle Technologies Pty Ltd
(Australia) has commenced commercial manufacture of track
and road variants. The New Zealand National Track Cycling
Team has selected the 'Superbike' for the 1997 and 1999 seasons.
It is anticipated that the technology will enable a new manufacturing
industry to be developed in Australia.

an Engineering Excellence Award from the Institution of Engineers
Australia, two Innovation Awards and the 1995 Velo News Award

in the Barcelona Olympics heralded a dramatic change in Olympic
track cycling. The UCI's rule change opened the door for the
monocoque bicycle to show its potential. Unlike the much later
Lotus Sport, Boardman's bicycle was a one-off with highly
specialised components. His ride did however set the stage
for a new era in competitive cycling
Chris Boardman rode to Olympic Gold the RMIT and AIS project
team set out to build a 'Superbike'. The RMIT-AIS team sought
a design that optimises weight, stiffness and aerodynamics
while conforming to the rules of the Union Cyclist Internationale
(UCI). The University was at the time seeking a suitable project
to demonstrate new low cost advanced composite manufacturing
techniques. The project team included engineers, technicians
and students from RMIT Aerospace Engineering, the AIS and
RMIT Industrial Design.
Olympic track cycling coach Charlie Walsh defined the initial
design criteria with the project team in late 1992. The resulting
bicycle must use a conventional group set of standard(3,6)
cranks, bearings, brakes, wheels, forks, handlebars, seat,
etc. Further criteria imposed by RMIT was that the design
must equal or exceed the structural stiffness of a steel bicycle
while offering lower aerodynamic drag and weight without compromising
reliability. It was also desirable for commercial purposes
that the resulting design be suitable for low cost, high volume

success of the end product. Competition bicycles are made
to the rider's individual specific requirements. The client
specifications were defined and completely fulfilled. These
specifications included critical geometry as shown below and
certain subjective characteristics as ride and comfort. Stiffness,
strength, reliability and use of standard components were

A requirement analysis was undertaken to establish the
design criteria and project milestones. The project
plan and budget were developed using the findings of
this analysis. Riding position and frame geometry defined
by the AIS were checked against a current AIS Olympic
steel frame. This same frame was later used to define
minimum stiffness criteria.

written and validated. The mathematical model was validated
against actual track performances using the SRM dynamometer

before progressing to track testing.

followed by a general inspection. Modal analysis is being
developed as a tool for non-destructive inspection and quality
control. This technique of vibration analysis(2)
will provide a cost effective "finger print" technique
for production quality control.
In order to minimise aerodynamic drag new and innovative wind
tunnel testing techniques were developed. This included the
use of artificial legs to accurately study the airflow over
the bicycle. With this unique rig the aerodynamics of the
complete system could be represented.
investigations showed that the rider's legs dramatically influenced
the flow pattern(6) and resulting drag.
To obtain accurate and repeatable wind tunnel results with
live athletes was extremely difficult. The sensitive wind
tunnel balance required precise knowledge of the centre of
mass in order to apply corrections for induced forces due
to moment couples. In the development of the 'Superbike' the
rider was replaced with a pair of lightweight Styrofoam®
legs. A similar lightweight torso, head and arms could also
be fitted. The rear wheel was driven by an electric motor
beneath the wind tunnel floor. A simple belt drive under the
floor also drove the front wheel. By having the motor and
drive system part of the bicycle accurate and repeatable drag
measurement was possible.
May 1993 the project team arrived at a basic conceptual design
for a carbon fibre monocoque bicycle. A prototype of this
design was built for initial testing. Wind tunnel testing
was carried out to refine the aerodynamic shape. The instrumented
prototype was evaluated on the track by world champion sprint
cyclist Gary Neiwand. This testing allowed the engineers to
determine handling characteristics and the loads encountered
during competition. The data obtained was used to optimise
prototypes for testing and competition has resulted
in the 'Superbike' meeting or exceeding all of the design
criteria. Independent tests on the 1994 variant by Dr.
Neil Craig of the South Australian Institute(6)
of Sport at the Adelaide Superdrome showed the 'Superbike'
to require 5% less power than the then current steel
AIS Olympic tubular frame.
improvement was made possible by designing a new wind
tunnel balance. The use of a 'hover board' bicycle mounting
eliminated balance interactions. This technique allowed
further refinement and development of the 'Superbike.

The requirement study showed that a one-size monocoque shell
could be developed to suit a wide range of rider size. One
single size of the 'Superbike' can accommodate riders from
1600 mm to 1900 mm in height.
'Superbike' is unique in that it has been designed from the
outset to be of a shape and structure that can be easily and
cheaply produced in high volume(3).
This manufacturing feature, a 'one size fits all concept',
removes the necessity for multiple and expensive tooling.

Related image There are several people around the world living in rural communities where half of them are peasant farmers. Such people mostly in Africa rely most on oldest form of transportation which is walking or trekking, this form of transport limit them to access social amenities while also increase the level of poverty among them, these among others are the likely problems people living in rural areas are likely to face. To this end, introduction of road transport system in rural areas is a major solution for a sustained socio-economic development in such communities; more so, it's an important means to enhance national integration. However, here are the benefits of providing road transport in rural areas:
 1. It increases access to market centers, wherefore, encouraging commercial farming activities.
 2. Access to several rural areas is a sign of improved road network resulting into higher availability of farm inputs at a low price.
 3. It brings about employment opportunities.
 4. It increases access to social amenities.
 5. It plays a vital role of promoting development in rural communities.
 6. It promotes national integration.
 7. It is a tool for poverty alleviation.
 8. It provides continuity in moving people and agric produce from rural communities to urban areas.
 9. It provides the farmer the opportunity to quickly move perishable commodities to the market centers or places where they are needed.
 10. It promotes sense of belonging.
Nevertheless, one of the major cause of poverty in rural communities is lack of access to good road transportation, therefore, having read this article, it is understandable that, access to good road transportation is a notable factor to develop rural communities.


Hinges are used to open the cabin door and hold it in a vertical position, and a roller-type door stop is used to limit the opening angle and fix (hold) the door in the open position
The door hinges are equipped with metal-fluoroplastic bushings and do not require maintenance in operation. to replace the cabin door in case of damage, there is a bolted connection on the hinges, by unscrewing it and disconnecting the limiter lever (it is necessary to remove the pin), you can remove the door from the cabin.

Installing a new or repaired door is done in the reverse order: it is fixed on the cab, and then the limiter lever is attached.
In case of breakage (breakage) of the limiter lever, it should be replaced.
Operation of the car with a broken lever is not allowed due to possible damage to the door.
Replacement of the limiter lever should be carried out in the following order:
- remove the window handle;
- remove the socket of the internal drive handle;
- remove the handrail on the door;
- remove the upholstery and anti-noise pad;
- remove the cotter pin and the pin of the bracket limiter lever;
- remove the broken lever;
- install a new lever with a buffer;
- do the rest of the assembly in reverse order.


Punching Shear (Shear Strength) Formula
📕 Contents
Punching Shear (Shear Strength) and Its Calculation Formula
Introduction:
Punching shear, also known as shear strength, is a critical structural engineering parameter in reinforced concrete structures. It refers to the shear stress that occurs in the vicinity of columns or load-bearing elements where vertical loads are transferred horizontally to the slab or foundation. This article explores the concept of punching shear and presents the calculation formula used to assess it.
What is Punching Shear?
Punching shear is a phenomenon that arises when there is a concentrated load on a relatively small area of a slab or foundation. The concrete in this region is subjected to shear forces, which can lead to structural failure if not properly addressed in the design.
The Calculation Formula:
The formula used to calculate punching shear resistance is as follows:
V_u = (A_v * f_y) / s * √d * (1.0 + β₁ * √(d / x)) - (A_s * f_y)
Where:
 - V_u: Punching shear resistance
 - A_v: Cross-sectional area
 - f_y: Yield strength of steel reinforcement
 - s: Shear perimeter
 - d: Effective depth or thickness of the slab or foundation
 - x: Distance between the edge of the slab or foundation and the shear reinforcement
 - β₁: Factor determined by design codes
Punching shear is a crucial consideration in the design of reinforced concrete structures. Proper calculation and evaluation of punching shear resistance are essential to ensure structural integrity and safety. Engineers use the provided formula along with design codes and standards to design structures that can withstand punching shear forces.

CU-Boulder Researchers to Analyze Meteorite That Fell Outside
BOULDER, Colo., Oct. 11 (AScribe Newswire) -- University of
Colorado at Boulder researchers will scientifically analyze a meteorite
that fell outside Berthoud, Colo., last week, only the fifth to ever
have been seen falling and subsequently recovered in Colorado, experts say.
The meteorite weighs more than 2 pounds and is about as large as
a baseball, although it is irregular in shape. It appears to be made of
igneous rock and is melted on its surface from the heat of entering the
atmosphere. The meteorite probably broke off an asteroid or planetary body.
"Its igneous composition reveals that it was chipped off an
asteroid large enough to undergo some form of volcanic activity," said
Nick Schneider, associate professor of astrophysical and planetary
Megan and John Whiteis of Berthoud, and Megan's son, Casper,
provided the meteorite to aerospace engineering sciences assistant
professor Scott Palo for scientific analysis after they saw it land in
their backyard. The couple had just walked out their back door into the
yard at 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 5, when the meteorite flew over their heads
and landed about 100 feet ahead of them.
Megan's mother, Marilyn Meador, contacted the National Center for
Atmospheric Research and spoke with Dr. Maura Hagan who emailed Palo.
Palo is an expert in radio meteors -- the study of ionized meteor trails
in the upper atmosphere using radio waves. Palo spent the next few days
putting together a team of scientists interested in helping to analyze
the specimen. The team includes:
- Jack Murphy, curator emeritus of the Denver Museum of Nature
and Science, who is writing a book on Colorado meteorites
- Chris Peterson, of Cloudbait Observatory, a Colorado fireball
observation network in Guffey, Colo., who is working to reconstruct the
trajectory and orbit of the meteorite using infrasound and observations
- Assistant Professor Stephen Mojzsis of the CU-Boulder
department of geological sciences
- Associate Professor Nick Schneider of the CU-Boulder department
of astrophysical and planetary sciences and the Laboratory for
Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP)
- Doug Duncan, director of Fiske Planetarium
The first scientific test will measure gamma rays being emitted
by the meteorite. It is likely the test will be performed at NASA's
Johnson Space Center later this week. Because this is a fresh fall, the
volatile chemical species can be measured. Analysis of the rare gasses
and gamma ray emissions will provide information about the size and
history of the meteorite before it entered the Earth's atmosphere.
Analysis of the meteorite trajectory and orbit also will be
conducted in an effort to learn where this meteorite originated. Over
the past 7 years to 10 years, a surprising number of fireballs have been
observed during the first week of October. Scientists have little
understanding about the source of the fireballs but the Berthoud
meteorite could provide a wealth of information about these recent
events. The possibility of tracking a meteorite back to its place of
origin in the asteroid belt is a rare opportunity. Researchers are
asking the public to report any fireball sightings in the sky during
October in order to help determine the meteorite's trajectory and point
of origin. Fireball sightings can be reported by going to
Residents of Berthoud also are asked to keep their eyes open for
any rocks that appear unusual with a smooth, black, shiny crust. People
who find objects they think may be a meteorite should contact Jack
Murphy at _PHONE_.
Discoverers Megan and John Whiteis have expressed their keen
interest in making the Berthoud meteorite available for educational
purposes. Until needed for scientific analysis, the meteorite will be
displayed and discussed in CU classrooms and at Fiske Planetarium. CU
faculty will work with local K-12 educators and the discoverers to bring
the excitement and importance of the Berthoud meteorite to schools and
museums around the state.

METEORITE FACT SHEET
CU-Boulder, Oct. 11, 2004
A meteoroid is a small object - generally smaller than the size
of a pebble - and usually comes from asteroids, the moon, comets or Mars.
Thousands of meteorites fall to Earth each year. Meteorites
generally become visible at about 60 miles from the ground due to the
intense heating from striking the atmosphere at speeds of at least
20,000 mph. Only the largest meteors are bright enough to see in the
The average weight of a shooting star, or meteor, in the sky is
less than one ounce -- about the size of a pea or smaller. Larger
meteors that hit the ground become meteorites by definition. Most
meteors decay into dust in the atmosphere and never make contact with
The largest known meteorite is a 70-ton specimen still embedded
in the ground in Grootfontein in southwest Africa. The largest meteorite
ever found in the United States is the Willamette meteorite, which was
found in Oregon and weighs about 15 tons.
Fireballs are defined as any meteor that is brighter than Venus
in the night sky. The appearance of a fireball is often followed by a
A meteorite generally is named for the locale, region or town
where it was found.
Meteorites generally are classified into three categories: Stony,
iron and stony-iron. Only about 10 per cent of the meteorites that reach
Earth are "iron meteorites." Iron meteorites are rare because they
typically become buried upon impact. Of the 75 meteorites that have been
recovered in Colorado, 14 are iron.
Stone meteorites can be divided into chondrite and achondrite
types. Chondrites contain chondrules, tiny, spherical blobs of silicates
from the earliest solar system formation which pre-date planetary
Achondrite meteorites, like the one recently discovered near
Berthoud, Colo., make up about 7 percent of all known meteorites.
Achondrite meteorites are made from chondritic material that was melted
and re-crystalized while still on or within its parent solar system body.
Achondrite meteorites may be pieces of planets and moons ejected
during impacts or collisions eons ago and may have traveled through the
solar system for millions of years. The now-famous Allan Hills meteorite
from Mars was discovered in 1998 in Antarctica and continues to be
controversial since some scientists believe it contains microscopic
evidence for life.

Upload images via a text file
Uploading images with a text file is the recommended solution if you need to add a large number of images.
However, this option can be used in 2 ways:
 - If your images are reachable via public URLs, you can fill your text file with a correct format and upload the file to the platform; you can follow this page as a manual for performing the steps.
 - Otherwise, if you have images stored locally you can go with the Deepomatic CLI add image option for importing your data instead.
Prerequisite:
In order to import images using a text file, those images need to be reachable via a public URL. If this is not the case, you need to find ways to upload images to a remote server:
or you can use the Deepomatic command line interface instead to import images from local directories:
Import file format:
When all the images are publicly reachable, we need to tell Deepomatic Studio where to find the images, as well as add any useful information associated with images. For this purpose, you need to follow the platform's expected structure in your import text file as explained in detail in the:
Upload & Progress report
You can start the import process by dragging & dropping or browsing your well-formatted import text file into the Add images tab of each project.
Right after, the import process will be launched and provides you with the step-by-step checks and updates as shown in the followings:
Uploading file: In this step, your import text file is getting uploaded to the platform
Checking views: After your text file has been successfully uploaded, in this step, the header line is read, and accordingly, the views are getting created.
If the header line format contains errors, the platform can not create the views, therefore an error message will pop up accordingly to notify you of the raised error and the import process will be aborted.
Uploading images: When the creation of the views succeeds, the platform starts reading each line of data existing in your import file and proceeds with importing each of them.
If a data line contains errors, the platform skips the data, proceeds with the next data line, and at the end of the import process throws a warning and logs the error in the provided error log file.
Building report: When all the data lines are read, a final report about the number of successfully imported images gets created. In case of the occurrence of errors in data, an error log will be created which contains the details about each error, in related specific lines of data.
When the import successfully finishes without any raised error in the process, and all data lines get imported, you will get notified of the success in the final report.


How to do smooth shading using my own color set
I need to fill a triangle, but i do not want to use the method supplied by opengl, which is: specify a color value of the vertex and put the pixel, opengl will do all the things. My problem is that: if i have specified the color of each three vertex, i need to fill the inner part use my own color table, say 1024 color entries. For example, if vertex 1 is color 012, vertex is color 500, then i need to fill the pixel between them using the color from 012 to 500 in my color table, not the one that calculated by opengl. how can i implement it?
I want to do something similar. Smooth shading does not do the trick. Have you solved the problem? Have you tried Color-Index Mode? What about 1-D texture? Thanks.
Use a 1D texture for this.
To specify a color you use a texture coordinate.
If you need multiple terms you can use 2D or even 3D texture if you have it.

Trinidad's Pitch Lake
Updated: Sep 1, 2020
By: Attorney Melissa D. Goolsarran Ramnauth
Photo source:
Trinidad's Pitch Lake is a world wonder. It is the largest and richest source of natural asphalt. The lake contains approximately 10 million tons of asphalt, spans 100 acres, and is approximately 250 feet deep. For reference, that is about 2 times bigger than Grand Central Station and deeper than the height of Cinderella's castle at Disney World.
Legend says that a local tribe was celebrating a victory against a rival tribe. However, in the midst of their celebrations, they began to cook and eat the sacred hummingbird. God allegedly punished the group by opening the Earth and creating the Pitch Lake to swallow their souls. God left the Pitch Lake as a reminder to others of the tribe's terrible sin. Local villages believe this legend because Amerindian artifacts and bones were found preserved (due to the asphalt) near the lake. The Amerindian word for asphalt was "piche."
The Europeans first learned of the Pitch Lake when Sir Walter Raleigh visited the island in 1595, around the time he was looking for El Dorado. The natives took Raleigh to the lake and he used the asphalt to caulk his ship. The asphalt was "most excellent," in his opinion, because it did not melt in the sun like the Norway asphalt.
In 1887, an American businessman secured a 42-year monopoly on the lake. As a result, many of the first asphalt roads in New York City, Washington D.C., and other eastern U.S. cities were paved using the asphalt from Trinidad's Pitch Lake. In conjunction, much of the Pitch Lake's profits went abroad to a foreign investor and not to the local Trinidadian population.
Scientifically speaking, Pitch Lake is located at the intersection of two faults. The oil at the intersection rises, the sun evaporates the lighter elements in the oil, and this process leaves behind the heavier elements creating the asphalt. Kerosene and oil also have been harvested from the Pitch Lake.
The Pitch Lake is not Trinidad's only treasure. Its people and their culture are equally as valuable to the rest of the world.
