  • Wednesday 17 June
    Diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney Scottish Episcopal Church Newsletter – Wednesday 17 June 2020 From the Bishop It is expected that the First Minister will announce tomorrow that Scotland is moving into Phase 2 of the easing of coronavirus restrictions. As a consequence from this weekend churches will be able to open for individual prayer, should they wish to do this. The Scottish Episcopal Church issued the guidelines for Phase 2 last week, and we know that across the Province very few of our churches will open. It is clear to us all that the preparations that are needed to open are considerable, and that for each church that opens there will need to be a team of volunteers ready to welcome anyone wanting to come inside to pray. In most places Vestries have responded that they would prefer to wait to consider opening in Phase 3, when collective worship might be allowed. Vestries would prefer to use the next few weeks making preparations for the time when services will be able to take place again. The comment has come to me again and again, that if opening is for individual prayer, then members prefer right now to continue to pray at home. Prayer is of course, taking place in other places, as readers of this newsletter will know. You are indeed praying in your homes, but also while out walking, using the natural world as a prompt and starting point for praise to God. You are praying in your gardens. Some of you are praying outside churches as you walk past them, especially in those places where there is a crucifix (St Margaret’s, Gallowgate) or a statue (St Mary-on-the-Rock).

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE Issue Date: January 2017 Morgan Advanced Materials demonstrates extensive blast survivability for Silverback 4020 Elite bomb disposal suit A new video released by Morgan Advanced Materials showcases the outstanding performance of its Silverback 4020 Elite bomb disposal suit against four life impacting aspects of blast; flame immersion, high velocity fragment impact, blast pressure wave and ‘tertiary’ effects; across four different blast tests. Critical to survivability, the tests illustrate the importance Morgan places on reducing the impact of blast pressure waves, which alongside flame and fragments, have devastating impact on internal organs without adequate protection. The testing was conducted at the independently certified OTS testing facility at Faldingworth (UK) and utilised a range of testing best practice, including key aspects of the NIJ 0117.00 Public Safety Bomb Suit Standard, in addition to other blast analysis including the Bowen Survivability Curve and overpressure reduction. The first blast test shown on the video demonstrates the suit’s survivability when kneeling, measured against the NIJ 0117.00 Public Safety Bomb Suit Standard for an explosive of 0.567kg C4 threat at 0.6m. The recorded footage reveals that the suit provides a pressure reduction between 96.9% and 99.7%, achieving a position on the Bowen Curve showing more than 99% survivability probability (in a controlled test environment). Three further blast tests assess the suit’s survivability when standing, facing a 1kg (2.20 lbs) C4 threat at 1m, a 2kg (4.41 lbs) C4 threat at 2m, and a 10kg (22.05 lbs) C4 threat at 3m. All three tests returned a www.morganadvancedmaterials.com PRESS RELEASE position on the Bowen Curve stating a survivability probability greater than 99% (in a controlled test environment), with a pressure reduction between 98.1% and 98.5% for 1kg and 10kg blasts.
