Time and time again people tell me how important it is to hear stories about calls similar to the ones they receive. The same goes for issues inter- nal to the communications center or the “bad” press that might develop following an often sensationalized media investiga- tion of 9-1-1 calls.

Acken and Donald W. Smith Ames Research Center Manually operated hand-held sextants are being studied at Ames Research Center to determine whether they are sufficiently accurate for midcourse navigation phases of manned space flight. Studies carried out on the ground have been extended by using the NASA CV-990 aircraft to provide sighting con- ditions closely simulating those in spacecraft and to investigate firther the measurement error due to lunar irradiance. The results of approximately 1200 measurements made during nine flights confirm results of simulator and ground- based studies which indicate that, with a hand-held sextant, an astronaut can be expected to make navigational measurements with errors having a standard deviation of approximately 210 arc seconds. A value for moon irradiance effect of approximately 25 arc seconds was established for the conditions of the experiment using a hand-held sextant. INTRODUCTION The manually operated hand-held sextant has provided marine navigators with a compact, lightweight, easily operated instrument for centuries.

  • A Characteristic of a Navigator's Situation Awareness for Crossing Ships
    the International Journal Volume 11 on Marine Navigation Number 2 http://www.transnav.eu and Safety of Sea Transportation June 2017 DOI: 10.12716/1001.11.02.12 A Characteristic of a Navigator's Situation Awareness for Crossing Ships C. Nishizaki, T. Takemoto & Y. Kunieda Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, Tokyo, Japan ABSTRACT: Many ship collisions have been caused by a navigator’s error in the situation awareness (SA) of the navigator. In congested sea areas, navigators classify ships on the basis of different priority levels. For safety measures against ship collision, it is imperative for navigators to recognize the ships with high priority levels. In previous study, navigators’ SA was measured in a ship maneuvering simulator using the Situation Awareness Global Assessment Technique (SAGAT). From the results of the previous study, we proposed a new risk category, named as “attention area,” that covers ships with high priority level in the SA of navigators. However, the extent of data for navigators’ SA was limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to confirm the validity of the category using additional data of navigators SA. In this study, the validity of the proposed category was confirmed, and a limit line surrounding ships with high priority levels was identified. In addition, it was evident that the category was able to detect ships with high priority level around the time when the collision avoidance was performed. 1 INTRODUCTION maneuvering simulator, the possibility that trainees’ navigation skills could be measured by SAGAT was Many marine accidents are caused by errors on the indicated (Okazaki & Ohya 2012).

    Transcript of oral history interview with Joseph Waters Gladstone/ Maplewood Fire Department, 1980-2007 by Kate Cavett of HAND in HAND Productions and Bob Jensen, President, Maplewood Area Historical Society for the Maplewood Area Historical Society December 16, 2013 at HAND in HAND Productions’ office in Saint Paul, Minnesota 1 © Maplewood Area Historical Society 2014 This project has been made possible by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on November 4, 2008. Administered by the Minnesota Historical Society. All pictures are from the Waters family and Maplewood Area Historical Society 2 ORAL HISTORY Oral History is the spoken word in print. Oral histories are personal memories shared from the perspective of the narrator. By means of recorded interviews oral history documents collect spoken memories and personal commentaries of historical significance. These interviews are transcribed verbatim and minimally edited for accessibility. Greatest appreciation is gained when one can listen to an oral history aloud. Oral histories do not follow the standard language usage of the written word. Transcribed interviews are not edited to meet traditional writing standards; they are edited only for clarity and understanding. The hope of oral history is to capture the flavor of the narrator’s speech and convey the narrator’s feelings through the timbre and tempo of speech patterns. An oral history is more than a family tree with names of ancestors and their birth and death dates. Oral history is recorded personal memory, and that is its value. What it offers complements other forms of historical text, and does not always require historical corroboration.

Flæsketorvet 68 – 1711 København V – Denmark Cell: (+45)27628014 www.sophiararebooks.com AMPERE, Andre-Marie. Mémoire. INSCRIBED BY AMPÈRE TO FARADAY AMPÈRE, André-Marie. Mémoire sur l’action mutuelle d’un conducteur voltaïque et d’un aimant. Offprint from Nouveaux Mémoires de l’Académie royale des sciences et belles-lettres de Bruxelles, tome IV, 1827. Bound with 18 other pamphlets (listed below). [Colophon:] Brussels: Hayez, Imprimeur de l’Académie Royale, 1827. $38,000 4to (265 x 205 mm). Contemporary quarter-cloth and plain boards (very worn and broken, with most of the spine missing), entirely unrestored. Preserved in a custom cloth box. First edition of the very rare offprint, with the most desirable imaginable provenance: this copy is inscribed by Ampère to Michael Faraday. It thus links the two great founders of electromagnetism, following its discovery by Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851) in April 1820. The discovery by Ampère (1775-1836), late in the same year, of the force acting between current-carrying conductors was followed a year later by Faraday’s (1791-1867) first great discovery, that of electromagnetic rotation, the first conversion of electrical into mechanical energy. This development was a challenge to Ampère’s mathematically formulated explanation of electromagnetism as a manifestation of currents of electrical fluids surrounding ‘electrodynamic’ molecules; indeed, Faraday directly criticised Ampère’s theory, preferring his own explanation in terms of ‘lines of force’ (which had to wait for James Clerk Maxwell (1831-79) for a precise mathematical formulation).

  • Towards a Co-Creative Encounter with the Book by Cameron Martin
    Gone Critical— Towards a Co-Creative Encounter with the Book by Cameron Martin Reid A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2010 ©Cameron Martin Reid 2010 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation follows two interrelated lines of inquiry. The first, I formulate as follows: (1) How, historically speaking, has the discourse of literary criticism thought the book? How has it represented the book? Used the book? Put simply, what has the book become in the hands of the critic? Though, of course, answers to such questions will vary widely—especially as they intersect with related matters concerning the critic, herself, and what Henry Sussman refers to as the perceived ―task of the critic‖—it is my contention that the discourse of literary criticism remains unified by its inability to extricate itself from what I call the transcendent orientation to literature: an orientation that has both ancient and modern coordinates. In Part 1 of the dissertation, I map criticism‘s ongoing historical affair with transcendence—an affair that begins as far back as the Platonic dialogues, but that can be traced right up through the twentieth century, in and through the work of any number of critics, and many prominent schools of literary critical thought.

Sandefur June 2019 A project of The Justice Lab at Georgetown Law Center With the generous support of the Kresge Foundation About The Justice Lab The Justice Lab works to address the justice gap in the United States. The Lab’s activities include developing and assessing new approaches for expanding access to the justice, such as the use of non-lawyers and new technologies, creating curricula and programming to engage law students on the problems of access to justice and inequality, and serving as a resource for legal aid organizations, access to justice commissions, and courts on the implementation of new technologies. Drawing on its location in Washington D.C., a center of access to justice initiatives, the Justice Lab regularly convenes meetings and conferences for bar leaders, community members, and stakeholders on the effects of lack of access in entrenching inequality.

    December 2014 Volume 53 Issue 12 Presidents notes N1EZH Barry Kennedy Presidents Monthly Message for December 2014 from Barry – N1EZH: Please Note: There will NOT be a December MARA Monthly Meeting! Winter is almost upon us and judging from the weather, may be a long one this year! I was able to basically trade my Tipper Mount and masts that were for a 39’ Rohn 25G Tower that I may only put up about 29’ with a tilt over of some sort which I hope to be able to clean up, paint and put up in the Spring. With the additional Rotor and mast for the antennas will be about 36’ or so tall when I am done. This will make it a few feet higher than my old one from a couple of years ago before the storm took it down. If anyone else in our club has done a project this year, or may be planning one either during the Winter or next Spring, then please take some photos and submit them to Rick – [email protected] so he can put them in our MARA Newsletter. For those of you that are on Facebook, I began a Massasoit Amateur Radio Association Facebook Page and have posted several items of interest on there. I have been updating the page with Club Events, photos, etc.from time to time in the hope that it will become another avenue for us in which to spark interest in our club and keep members informed of what we are doing outside of our Club Meetings and in our Community.
