  • Torch Cutting
    Torch Cutting Definition: Process for cutting metal using an apparatus that produces a very hot flame through the combustion of gases. Potential Hazards: Aerosolized particles Back strain Burns Explosive atmosphere Falling heavy objects Fire Flammable gases or vapors Hazardous fumes Hot environment Oil and hydraulic fluids Repetitive motion injuries Sharp objects/edges Guarding/Shielding: Approved protective equipment must be installed into the fuel gas piping to prevent • Backflow of oxygen into the fuel gas supply system • Passage of a flash back into the fuel gas supply system • Excessive back pressure of oxygen in the fuel gas supply system. Protective Equipment: Hard hats* Safety glasses* Steel toe/steel shank work boots with metatarsal guards* Oil resistant clothing or covering* Fire retardant gloves* Fire retardant coveralls or other form of full body work clothing* Fire retardant long sleeved shirt* Eye/face shielding that provides protection from ultraviolet light (shade ratings of 4 to 6, depending on the thickness of the material being cut)* Respirator (unless the absence of a respiratory hazard can be proven)* Hearing protection as needed *minimum requirements Safety Procedures: Portable fire extinguisher must be plainly marked and readily available in close proximity to torch cutting operations. Managers and operators must analyze torch cutting operations to determine the level of potential exposure to hazardous materials. These materials include, but are not necessarily limited to: • Lead • Cadmium • Beryllium • Carbon monoxide • Chromium • Iron oxide • Magnesium oxide • Mercury vapor • Nickel • Nitrogen dioxide • Zinc oxide Where hazardous levels exist, workers must be protected and monitored in accordance with the corresponding regulation(s). Compressed gas cylinders must never be moved via magnet.

BRIGHT, Jr. THE MACMILLAN COMPANY • NEW YORK 1949 FOREWORD THIS study of the economic development of the electric- lamp industry is the second volume in a series of studies on the economics of innovation, undertaken at the Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology. The creative role played by science and technology in modern economic life is apparent to everyone. But we know relatively little about the human factors which condition the introduction of technological change into our environment. Are there barriers to innovation inherent in the increasing concentration of power in a few large concerns? Does the patent system, designed as an incentive to invention, act more often as a brake on new develop- ments? What has been the role of key personalities in creating change? Are there lessons to be drawn from the past on how the innovating process can be more effective, not only from the standpoint of achieving a higher standard of material being but from the point of view of smoother human relations? Certainly, material progress at any price is not a satisfactory goal. On the other hand, freedom for creative action in initiating and carrying out new developments is a basic human drive for many individu- als. I believe, personally, that a great society should strive toward a goal which will give to individuals and groups the maximum opportunities for creative expression; yet this means to me that the State must act to prevent the compulsive pressure of some particular group from overriding others to the destruction of human values.

Each year his mother would make a little robe and take it to him when she accompanied her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice...The boy Samuel grew up in the service of the Lord.” 1 Samuel 2:18-21 Acolyte means an attendant or follower and Samuel is one of the first examples of an assistant to a priest. Your job as an acolyte is to assist the celebrant (the priest in charge of a worship service) and enhance the worship service to help glorify God. You are a minister of the church who is called to serve God. Therefore, every action you take should be done respectfully and in a dignified manner; the goal is for the attention of the congregation to be on the liturgy and not on the ministers.

  • Fading Lights, Transitions in Theatre Lighting in a Historical Context
    Fading Lights Transitions in theatre lighting in a historical context by Chris Van Goethem (english revision by Gitta Van Goethem) Fading Lights is a cooperative project between the Expertise Center for Technical Theatre and the Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts. The project researches the history of lighting with a focus on the transitions between subsequent technologies. In the context of the im- minent transition to more LED sources, it seems useful to us to look at earlier transitions and maybe learn something from them. In other words, we would like to fnd out how the tech- nician, the designer, and the audience have adapted to the transition from candlelight to gas lights, to electrical lighting. The frst types of theatre were performed in daylight or with the lighting equipment that was at hand for domestic use. Those would have been torches, cressets, tapers, etc. In smaller spaces, dipped candles from animal fat were used among other things. Those were cheap, but gave off a conside- rable amount of smoke and stench. Apart from that, lamps based on a wick dipped in vegetable oil were used. Candles from bees wax were expensive en were therefore only used in extraordinary circumstances, when high-ranking people were present. The most important function of these sources of light was making the actors visible. Although we must also point out that some light sources 3 different types of cressets were manipulated by the actors so they could stress certain things. Some light sour- ces were also used purely symbolic to, for ex- ample, show that it was night, even though the play was during the day.

  • Triple Plays Analysis
    A Second Look At The Triple Plays By Chuck Rosciam This analysis updates my original paper published on SABR.org and Retrosheet.org and my Triple Plays sub-website at SABR. The origin of the extensive triple play database1 from which this analysis stems is the SABR Triple Play Project co-chaired by myself and Frank Hamilton with the assistance of dozens of SABR researchers2. Using the original triple play database and updating/validating each play, I used event files and box scores from Retrosheet3 to build a current database containing all of the recorded plays in which three outs were made (1876-2019). In this updated data set 719 triple plays (TP) were identified. [See complete list/table elsewhere on Retrosheet.org under FEATURES and then under NOTEWORTHY EVENTS]. The 719 triple plays covered one-hundred-forty-four seasons. 1890 was the Year of the Triple Play that saw nineteen of them turned. There were none in 1961 and in 1974. On average the number of TP’s is 4.9 per year. The number of TP’s each year were: Total Triple Plays Each Year (all Leagues) Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's <1876 1900 1 1925 7 1950 5 1975 1 2000 5 1876 3 1901 8 1926 9 1951 4 1976 3 2001 2 1877 3 1902 6 1927 9 1952 3 1977 6 2002 6 1878 2 1903 7 1928 2 1953 5 1978 6 2003 2 1879 2 1904 1 1929 11 1954 5 1979 11 2004 3 1880 4 1905 8 1930 7 1955 7 1980 5 2005 1 1881 3 1906 4 1931 8 1956 2 1981 5 2006 5 1882 10 1907 3 1932 3 1957 4 1982 4 2007 4 1883 2 1908 7 1933 2 1958 4 1983 5 2008 2 1884 10 1909 4 1934 5 1959 2
