It’s fair to point out that four of the fatalities referred to were serving BPA COUNCIL members of Her Majesty’s Forces, as were all the seriously L. N. E. St. John Chairman injured— perhaps there’s a message in that as well. P. J. P rior Vice-Chairman Blue Skies, C H A R LIE J. T. Crocker Chairman Safety and Training Committee Looking back on what could have been some of the best jumping in years, we find sorrow instead of success, injury in place of Other Members: intuition, and humbug instead of humility. For the past twelve months or so have seen six members of our Association killed, A. Dixon J. Petherbridge five grievously injured, and many less seriously damaged. Have E. Lew ington T. Ridgway we learned from our mistakes, do we really remember our absent friends, and can we pride ourselves on having taken W. J. Meacock G. B. Shone prompt and effective action to put matters right? B. M organ R. Swainson Alas, not at all. For many of us have not even registered this insidiously worsening situation, let alone analysed it. We take M. J. O ’Brien J. L. Thom as the easy way out and blame a fast-expanding membership and D. Peacock D. Waterman long, hot spells for our unacceptably high accident rates, and that way lies further disaster. Co-opted Members We all like parachuting, we like the people and we like the I. W right atmosphere within our clubs. But really our deepest satisfaction comes from that one jump in fifty that is planned meticulously, is completed without fault, and is later recorded with quiet BPA JOURNAL pride. But we have forgotten this, and we have overlooked the Charles Shea-Simonds Editor hard earned and bitter experience that has enabled us to develop such a well-run sport. The cowboys are back in town. BPA STAFF And I don’t mean them, I mean you. And me. We have lost our Sqn. Ldr. W. Paul, BEM, RAF (Ret’d) Secretary General self-discipline and look at the results. The unexpected and hasty lob, the decision to ignore that distant streamer, Charles Shea-Simonds National Coach and Safety Officer unchecked documents, unrehearsed or slack reserve drills, Mrs. Dorothy Paul Assistant Secretary unheeded or stretched regulations, and inadequately planned Helen Day and Susan Bates and equipped demos. We have overlooked the need for constant and meticulous monitoring of any free fall activity, but worse, we have neither the wit to recognise these faults, nor the personal Editor’s Note courage to admit them. The views of contributors to “Sport Parachutist” are not necessarily those of the Editor, or of the British Parachute Association, and no liability is accepted for same. The faint-hearted may think only of the good clubs, of the instructor whose skill and inate ability provide the best decision every time, and the pilot who says ‘No’, and stays on the ground.

  • Civilian Application of Wartime Military
    SWORDS INTO PLOWSHARES: CIVILIAN APPLICATION OF WARTIME MILITARY TECHNOLOGY IN MODERN JAPAN, 1945-1964 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Takashi Nishiyama, M.A. The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Professor James R. Bartholomew, Adviser Approved by Professor Philip C. Brown _____________________________ Professor John. F. Guilmartin, Jr. Graduate Program in History ABSTRACT This dissertation examines civilian application of military technology in Japan after World War II. As a case study, I focus on the historical metamorphosis of wartime technology ― such as military aircraft deployed for kamikaze suicide missions― into the highly successful Shinkansen high-speed bullet train. In retrospect, the shift in the socio-technological landscape in Japan after 1945 was drastic, spectacular, and unprecedentedly successful. Employing a bottom-up approach, I highlight the decentralized character of Japan’s conversion process from wartime to postwar eras. Specifically, I examine the roles of former military engineers in the public research and development sector at the grass roots-level. The crucial variable in the conversion process, I argue, was the remarkable adaptability and flexibility of these engineers and their knowledge, especially in support of Japan’s technological development. The course of the technological transformation was neither obvious nor preordained. It was largely idiosyncratic and contingent on numerous individual decisions and actions within the engineering community. At least the bullet train and other modern technological artifacts were a product of such ii development; postwar technological artifacts were essentially amalgamations, reproductions, and reconfigurations of pre-1945 technologies with little orchestrated effort from the top.

In this second of a “double album“ on the music industry’s return to growth, we assess the risks and scenarios that could derail our thesis, from the risk of “windowing” and exclusivity turning off fans to an acceleration in declines for physical CDs and downloads that would come too fast for streaming to fill the void in the near term.

  • Sesame Street by Cataquack Warrior
    Sesame Street By Cataquack Warrior Sunny days, sweeping the clouds away… You’re on your way to a certain street, and you can bet that there will be lots of interesting things to do and learn once you arrive. Time Since you’re going to start on the same street regardless, we’ll instead ask what year you’re starting. Roll a 1d6 to determine the decade of your stay. 1. 1969 2. 1979 3. 1989 4. 1999 5. 2009 6. Free Choice- Pick any year that Sesame Street has been active. Species There are all sorts of people here on Sesame Street, so pick whichever one you want. Roll a 1d30+5 to determine your starting age or pay 50 CP to choose. Pay 50 CP to select your gender, or else keep the gender from your last jump. Drop-In- You come as you were from the previous jump. Native Human- You may not be as unusual as some of the other creatures on Sesame Street, but you are still a key part of the community. Grouch- Noted for your flattened head and lack of a nose, you are notable for your grouchy behavior and love for disgusting things. Even so, you can still find a place to be happy – I mean miserable – on Sesame Street. Monster- Monsters come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, but they are by the large furry and not that scary once you get to know them. Vampire- A vampire of the Von Count line, to be more precise. The vampires in this world have a few special powers and eccentricities, but they are mostly harmless; on the flipside, though, they are immune to many traditional vampire weaknesses such as sunlight and water.

The following collection gives several of Washington Irving's sketches of Dutch life in tlie valley of the Hudson. These stories we associate with Irving just as we associate stories of Califor- nian life with Bret Harte, or stories of Creole life in Louisiana with Mr. Cable. Irving was one of the first to perceive the possi- bilities offered to the imagination by the varied phases of Ameri- can life. But his sketches are scattered about in half a dozen volumes. It has seemed worth while to gather a number together and to call attention to some of their chief characteristics. The Introduction is mainly on literary and historical points. The map on page 10 gives the situation of the places mentioned on the lower Hudson. For some hints on the study of Irving's ' style, the teacher is referred to the Introduction to ' The Sketch Book " in this series. Edward E. Hale, Jr. / CONTENTS. INTRODUCTION. I.
