  • ACE's Scandinavian Sojourn
    ACE’s Scandinavian Sojourn : A Southerner’s Perspective Story by: Richard Bostic, assisted by Ronny Cook When I went on the ACEspana trip back in 2009, it was by far one of the most amazing vacations I have ever experienced. In addition to getting to visit parks in a different culture than we see here, it is also a great opportunity to spend time with fellow enthusiasts and grow friendships while enjoying our common interests. When Scandinavia Sojourn was announced for the summer of 2011, I knew it was a trip I could not miss. Since the 2009 trip was my first trip to Europe I thought that there was no way the over- all experience could be better in Scandinavia. I was wrong. We landed in Helsinki, Finland around 1300 the day before we were required to be at the hotel to meet with the group. Helsinki is an interesting city and fairly new compared to many cities in Europe. Walking around the city you can see the Russian influence in the city’s architecture. In fact, many movies during the cold war would use Helsinki to shoot scenes that are supposed to be set in the Soviet Union. After making our way to the Crowne Plaza Hotel and getting a quick lunch at the hotel restaurant we decided to spend the remaining time that afternoon checking out some of the sites around our hotel. Some of these sites included the Temppeliaukio Church inside of a rock formation, the train station, Routatientori Square and National Theater, and a couple of the city’s art museums.

  • Jane Jayroe-Gamble She Overcame Her Fears and Shyness to Win Miss America 1967, Launching Her Career in Media and Government
    Jane Jayroe-Gamble She overcame her fears and shyness to win Miss America 1967, launching her career in media and government Chapter 01 – 0:52 Introduction Announcer: As millions of television viewers watch Jane Jayroe crowned Miss America in 1967, and as Bert Parks serenaded her, no one would have thought she was actually a very shy and reluctant winner. Nor would they know that the tears, which flowed, were more of fright than joy. She was nineteen when her whole life was changed in an instant. Jane went on to become a well-known broadcaster, author, and public official. She worked as an anchor in TV news in Oklahoma City and Dallas, Fort Worth. Oklahoma governor, Frank Keating, appointed her to serve as his Secretary of Tourism. But her story along the way was filled with ups and downs. Listen to Jane Jayroe talk about her struggle with shyness, depression, and a failed marriage. And how she overcame it all to lead a happy and successful life, on this oral history website, VoicesofOklahoma.com. Chapter 02 – 8:30 Grandparents John Erling: My name is John Erling. Today’s date is April 3, 2014. Jane, will you state your full name, your date of birth, and your present age. Jane Jayroe: Jane Anne Jayroe-Gamble. Birthday is October 30, 1946. And I have a hard time remembering my age. JE: Why is that? JJ: I don’t know. I have to call my son, he’s better with numbers. I think I’m sixty-seven. JE: Peggy Helmerich, you know from Tulsa? JJ: I know who she is.

  • Workshop on Weather Ready Nation: Science Imperatives for Severe Thunderstorm Research, Held 24-26 April, 2012 in Birmingham AL
    Workshop on Weather Ready Nation: Science Imperatives for Severe Thunderstorm Research, Held 24-26 April, 2012 in Birmingham AL Sponsored by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and National Science Foundation Final Report Edited by Michael K. Lindell, Texas A&M University and Harold Brooks, National Severe Storms Laboratory Hazard Reduction & Recovery Center Texas A&M University College station TX 77843-3137 17 September 2012 Executive Summary The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) workshop sponsored a workshop entitled Weather Ready Nation: Science Imperatives for Severe Thunderstorm Research on 24-26 April, 2012 in Birmingham Alabama. Prior to the workshop, teams of authors completed eight white papers, which were read by workshop participants before arriving at the conference venue. The workshop’s 63 participants—representing the disciplines of civil engineering, communication, economics, emergency management, geography, meteorology, psychology, public health, public policy, sociology, and urban planning—participated in three sets of discussion groups. In the first set of discussion groups, participants were assigned to groups by discipline and asked to identify any research issues related to tornado hazard response that had been overlooked by the 2011 Norman Workshop report (UCAR, 2012) or the white papers (see Appendix A). In the second set of discussion groups, participants were distributed among interdisciplinary groups and asked to revisit the questions addressed in the disciplinary groups, identify any interdependencies across disciplines, and recommend criteria for evaluating prospective projects. In the third set of discussion groups, participants returned to their initial disciplinary groups and were asked to identify and describe at least three specific research projects within the research areas defined by their white paper(s) and to assess these research projects in terms of the evaluation criteria identified in the interdisciplinary groups.

  • Tim Samaras 1957 – 2013 Nyheden Om Tim Samaras Alt for Tidlige Og Uforståelige Bortgang Skabte Chokbølger I Det Amerikanske
    Tim Samaras 1957 – 2013 Nyheden om Tim Samaras alt for tidlige og uforståelige bortgang skabte chokbølger i det amerikanske meteorologiske miljø og blandt stormchasere verden over i dagene efter 1. Juni 2013. Tim Samaras interesse for tornadoer blev vakt i en alder af 6, da hans forældre tvang ham til at se ”Troldmanden fra Oz”. Som ung uddannede han sig til ingeniør. Hans interesse for tornadoer voksede og hans stiftede team TWISTEX (Tactical Weather Instrumented Sampling in/near Tornadoes Experiment) hvis mål var at foretage in situ målinger af temperatur, tryk m.m. i tornadoer. Han designede og byggede selv sine instrumenter, bl.a. sine tornadoprober (”Skilpadder” med måleudstyr og kameraer) som blev placeret direkte i en tornados bane. Han udstyr er indehaver af et rekordstort registreret trykfald på 100 hPa i en tornado. Trykfaldet skete på under et minut, og det laveste tryk var 850 hPa – hvilket også er det lavest registrerede lufttryk ved jordoverfladen når der er kalibreret for højden over havet. Denne måling blev foretaget i forbindelse med Manchester, South Dakota tornadoen i 2003. Tim Samaras anden store passion var lyn. Han ombyggede et koldkrigs highspeed kamera, oprindeligt til fotografering af nukleare eksplosioner med konventionel film, til digital fotografering med over 1.000.000 billeder i sekundet og har med det kunnet registrere et lyns livscyklus med hidtil usete detaljer. Tim Samaras og hans crew blev verdenskendt og respekteret for deres deltagelse i 3 sæsoner af Discovery Channels’s serie ”Storm Chasers”. Tim Samaras var også primus motor på det årlige National Storm Chasers Convention, som en weekend i februar i Denver tiltrækker stormchasere fra hele verden.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL), Norman, Oklahoma, USA ABSTRACT: On 31 May 2013, a line of severe thunderstorms developed during the local afternoon in central Oklahoma, USA. One of the supercells produced the El Reno tornado, which caused significant damage and killed several people. During the 2300 UTC hour (during the mature supercell stage and just after the tornado began), the storm produced several positive cloud-to-ground (+CG) lightning strokes that featured large (> 100 C km) impulse charge moment changes (iCMCs; charge moment during the first 2 ms after the return stroke). These discharges occurred mainly in convection, in contrast to the typical pattern of large-CMC and sprite-parent +CGs occurring mainly in stratiform precipitation regions. After this time, the line of thunderstorms evolved over several hours into a large mesoscale convective system (MCS). By the 0700 UTC hour on 1 June 2013, the large-CMC pattern had changed markedly. Large-CMC negative CGs, which were absent early in the storm's lifetime, occurred frequently within convection.

    Aalto University School of Engineering Master’s Programme in Building Technology Design of Roller Coasters Master’s Thesis 24.7.2018 Antti Väisänen Aalto University, P.O. BOX 11000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Abstract of master's thesis Author Antti Väisänen Title of thesis Design of Roller Coasters Master programme Building Technology Code ENG27 Thesis supervisor Vishal Singh Thesis advisor Anssi Tamminen Date 24/07/2018 Number of pages 75 Language English Abstract This thesis combines several years of work experience in amusement industry and a litera- ture review to present general guidelines and principles of what is included in the design and engineering of roller coasters and other guest functions attached to them. Roller coasters are iconic structures that provide safe thrills for riders. Safety is achieved using multiple safety mechanisms: for example, bogies have multiple wheels that hold trains on track, a block system prevents trains from colliding and riders are held in place with safety restraints. Regular maintenance checks are also performed to prevent accidents caused by failed parts. Roller coasters are designed using a heartline spline and calculating accelerations in all possible scenarios to prevent rollbacks and too high values of accelerations, which could cause damage to riders’ bodies. A reach envelope is applied to the spline to prevent riders from hitting nearby objects. The speed and curvature of the track combined create acceler- ations that need to be countered with adequate track and support structures. A track cross- section usually consists of rails, cross-ties and a spine, while support structures can vary depending on height and loads.

  • Ardly a Day Passes in Lubbock, Texas, With- out Strong Winds Racing Across the South Plains. with Gusts of up to 23 Miles Per Ho
    BY LARISSA K. TRUE ardly a day passes in Lubbock, Texas, with- out strong winds racing across the South Plains. With gusts of up to 23 miles per hour on an average day, few Lubbockites have grown to appreciate the wind. Many complain, but few understand the phenomenon that has made West Texas unique for decades. In addition to being home to a more-than-typically breezy climate, the city of Lubbock and Texas Tech University’s Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library are the keepers of one of the finest and most sought after compilations of invaluable wind research documentation in the world. On May 20, 2005, the Southwest Collec- tion formally accepted Professor Tetsuya “Ted” Fujita’s meticulous and copious records of every major wind event that occurred from the end of World War II until his death in the late 1990s. 26 • SPRING 2006 vol. 1 No.1 • 27 The image on the previous page shows Fujita’s wind generator laboratory where he studied downbursts.
