PH-BFW Boeing 747-406(M)
KL893 AMS-Seoul
Just two weeks after the retirement of KLM's Boeing 747 passenger aircraft, two mixed configuration Jumbos re-entered service. This is due to the increased demand for air freight capacity by Philips and the Dutch government. The Jumbos carry medical equipment and supplies from Asia to Holland; a total volume of 250 tons per week. The air bridge consists of PH-BFT, PH-BFV and this one, PH-BFW.

The “F-Series” (F-model) are widely seen as the genuine models (master pattern) of all 911-types in summing up of the series from MY 1968 (introduced in the middle of 1967) “A-series” to MY 1973 (discontinued in the middle of 1973).
The identifying of an early successor, an European G-model MY 1974, could lead to the following mystic question: Why are impact bumpers fitted to some early “G-series” models only?
The new 911 G-Series was introduced in 1973. The US-Versions were all equipped with this new bumpers to conform with low speed protection requirements of US law from the very beginning. The integration of the new shock absorbing bumpers as standard of the European versions followed only one year later. In Germany the “G-Series” models since 1974 are called “Blasebalg”-models (German for “bellows”).

INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE FOR P558 SUPERDUTY - MULTIPLE CONFIGURATIONS
On September 24, 2015, Ford unveiled the 2017 Ford Super Duty line at the 2015 State Fair of Texas. he frame is made from 95% high strength steel and the body (like the contemporary F-150) is made from 6000 series aluminum alloy. For the first time since 1999, both the Super Duty and F-150 lines are constructed using the same cab.
For 2017 production, the Super Duty line shares its powertrain lineup with its 2016 predecessor: a 6.2L gasoline V8, 6.8L V10 (F-450 and above), with a 6.7L diesel V8 available in all versions. The 6.2L gasoline V8 engine remains at 385 hp but torque rises from 405 lb-ft to 430 lb-ft. Additionally, the gasoline V8 produces its max torque at over 700 rpm less than the previous 405 lb-ft engine. The 6.7L diesel engine also remains at the same 440 hp (323 kW) but torque increases from 860 lb-ft upwards to 925 lb-ft.
The 2020 Super Duty debuted at the 2019 Chicago Auto Show. It features a revised grille and tailgate design, new wheel options, and higher-quality interior materials for the Limited trim. A new 7.3-liter gasoline engine is available. Nicknamed "Godzilla", it makes 430 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque.
Cab configurations continue to be 2-Door Regular Cab, 4-Door Super Cab, and 4-Door Super Crew Cab, with Short Box (6' 9") and Long Box (8') bed lengths. The truck will be available in F-250, F-350, and F-450 pickup truck models, and F-350, F-450, and F-550 chassis cab models. All will be available in both 4X2 and 4X4 configurations. The F-350 will be the only model available in either Single Rear Wheel (SRW) or Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) configurations, the F-450 and F-550 will only be available in a Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) configuration, and the F-250 will only be available in a Single Rear Wheel configuration.
The church dedicated to the Saviour's Configuration ("Metamorfosi tou Sotira") is built in the middle of "Palio Chorio" ("Old Village"). It was constructed in the 16th century (1520) and it has the same architectural style as the other two small churches of the village, that of "Panagia Theotokos" and that of Saint George "Perachoritis". Up until 1994, liturgies were conducted daily since it was considered as the village's main church.
It is a rectangular church of the Basilica style and with elements of the Byzantine style. It can accommodate up to 100-150 faithful. Externally it is made of stone and whitewashed.
The inhabitants built extensions to the church in 1880 and 1960 because the village was continuously growing. When they dug the floor they discovered many pieces of frescoes, which surely came from this church. Indeed, they were able to read the name of the hagiographer who was named Symeon Afxentis. He is known for his frescoes of the "Panagia Theotokos" and "Archangel" churches in the village of Galata.
The icon screen is woodcut, as also are the two Psalters that can be found in the church.
There are various remarkable representations dating back to the 16th and 17th century. The icon screen is of various different chronologies.

The settlement of Kakopetria, although mentioned by the mediaeval annalists, existed -at least- since the Frank domination era. The village's region was inhabited around the 6th - 7th century and the various excavations that have been conducted in 1938 around the old village of Kakopetria (in the Ailades venue) prove this.
During the excavations a dispenser of an ancient shrine -most probably belonging to the goddess Athena- came to light. A large number of movable findings were found, mainly terra-cotta, many of which depict the goddess Athena, as well as small, limestone, statues and parts of statues and bronze and iron shafts from spearheads and arrows. The findings most probably date back to the Archaic and Classic eras of Cyprus. Other statuettes represent Hercules and are an indication that he was also worshiped in the area along with the goddess Athena. These findings are found in the Archaeological Museum of Nicosia.

What does it mean to create a truly autonomous machine, independent from human control? And what happens when organs live outside of a body? Could this help us understand that the power of the human body lies in its ability to be different and to take on unexpected forms and identities?
Violently entangled within the performance space are three elements: an artificially intelligent prosthesis, out-of-body organic wombs and a human body. The prosthesis uses artificial intelligence algorithms to learn in real time how to move, exist and perform on stage. The wombs live and pulsate through the activity of microbial cultures. The sounds of the performer’s body are re-synthesised and transformed into a powerful and visceral auditory experience.

Having thrown out the original print of the photograph I wasn't quite sure what this vehicle was. It appeared to have a vertical rear transverse engine ...unusual in single-deck buses. Might it be a Daimler Fleetline with single-deck bodywork? It was to that invaluable resource Bus Lists on the Web (http://www.buslistsontheweb.co.uk/) that I turned. Here it was given as a Daimler SRL6, which would make it a Daimler Roadliner with Leyland engine I think. Fleetlines were CRG6 weren't they? Have I got this right? The grille and access flap certainly look like those of a rear transverse engine. Was the Roadliner so equipped? It seems perverse to provide a single-deck vehicle with an engine configuration that was undesirable from an engineering point of view, but necessary in double-deck vehicles for height-saving reasons. Bodywork was by Willowbrook. The vehicle was snapped at Northampton on Thursday 17th January 1980.
The Porsche Macan shares its platform and wheelbase with the first generation Audi Q5 (2008–2017). The suspension configuration is based on, and heavily modified from the Audi,[citation needed] but the engine, transfer case, suspension tuning, interior and exterior body are unique to the Macan. It is also 43 mm longer and 36 mm wider than a Q5.
The Macan is produced alongside the Panamera with which it shares a strong resemblance, in Leipzig, Germany in a newly extended factory. The Macan is also intended to be 'sportier' than the Cayenne; for instance the Macan has a standard 7-speed dual-clutch PDK gearbox, which is more responsive, while the Cayenne has an 8-speed Tiptronic transmission for smoother shifts.
At launch, three different models and engines were available, all being V6 format: a 3.0-litre Macan S with 340 PS (250 kW), a 3.6-litre Macan Turbo with 400 PS (294 kW; 395) and a 3.0-litre, 258 PS (190 kW;) Diesel, with a CO2 emissions of 159 g/km. The Macan GTS was announced in October 2015 to fit into the gap between the Macan S and Macan Turbo.
Porsche subsequently released a base Macan for select Asian markets and the United Kingdom. Using a reworked version of the Volkswagen Group's 2.0-litre inline-four EA888 Gen 3 engine used in multiple applications such as the Volkswagen GTI, Audi Q5.
Second configuration, changed out the saddle for a Selle Italia turbo and the handlebars for Soma Sparrows. The additional setback on the saddle and the new handlebar geometry was a huge improvement. The wine corks are a bit cheesy, but I needed a temporary fix to keep the bars from denting the top tube until I could find a better alternative.
This saddle was a stopgap until I could determine what kind of leather saddle I wanted. In the end though, it wasn't very comfortable with street clothes. The handlebars were about perfect for fit though.

In its present configuration, the Wanamaker Organ has 28,543 pipes in 462 ranks.[2] The organ console consists of six manuals with an array of stops and controls that command the organ. The organ's String Division forms the largest single organ chamber in the world. The instrument features eighty-eight ranks of string pipes built by the W. W. Kimball Company of Chicago.[2] The organ is famed for its orchestra-like sound, coming from pipes that are voiced softer than usual, allowing an unusually rich build-up because of the massing of pipe-tone families. The artistic obligation entailed by the creation of this instrument has always been honored, with two curators employed in its constant and scrupulous care. The organ, with its regular program of concerts and recitals, was maintained by Wanamaker's throughout the chain's history, even as the company's financial fortunes waned. This level of dedication was maintained when corporate parentage shifted from the Wanamaker family to Carter Hawley Hale Stores to Woodward & Lothrop to Lord & Taylor to Macy's.
Through 2014 our 1:100 scale model of International Space Station was further modified.
By the request from NASA we performed a few minor changes in ISS configuration - moved a few masts and small details. Replicas of Space Shuttle, ATV and CEV "Orion" were excluded from the set of accompanying logistics vehicles. Instead we developed and added replicas of Dragon and Cygnus spacecraft.
The model itself, however, was significantly upgraded. We made the internal support system even more durable, yet lighter, by using carbon fiber elements. Side supports were added, which increased model's stability. A great number of solar panels and other thin and vulnerable parts were replaced with metal equivalents.
The transit case foam lining and transport configuration of the model were also modified. The main solar arrays are transporting now detached from the model - it reduced the stress on the model itself and the solar arrays.
The models became stronger than ever, production time - reduced, transportation - became safer.

Compound systems
There are many compound systems and configurations, but there are two basic types, according to how HP and LP piston strokes are phased and hence whether the HP exhaust is able to pass directly from HP to LP (Woolf compounds) or whether pressure fluctuation necessitates an intermediate "buffer" space in the form of a steam chest or pipe known as a receiver (receiver compounds).[4]
In a single-expansion (or 'simple') steam engine, the high-pressure steam enters the cylinder at boiler pressure through an inlet valve. The steam pressure forces the piston down the cylinder, until the valve shuts (e.g. after 25% of the piston's stroke). After the steam supply is cut off the trapped steam continues to expand, pushing the piston to the end of its stroke, where the exhaust valve opens and expels the partially depleted steam to the atmosphere, or to a condenser. This "cut-off" allows much more work to be extracted, since the expansion of the steam is doing additional work beyond that done by the steam at boiler pressure.[5]
An earlier cut-off increases the expansion ratio, which in principle allows more energy to be extracted and increases efficiency. Ideally, the steam would expand adiabatically, and the temperature would drop corresponding to the volume increase. However, in practice the material of the surrounding cylinder acts as a heat reservoir, cooling the steam in the earlier part of the expansion and heating it in the later part. These irreversible heat flows decrease the efficiency of the process, so that beyond a certain point, further increasing the expansion ratio would actually decrease efficiency, in addition to decreasing the mean effective pressure and thus the power of the engine.[5]
Robey and Co. was an engineering company based in Lincoln, England which can be traced back to at least 1849.[1]
In 1854 Watkinson and Robey Engineers and Millwrights were manufacturing Portable Engines and machinery of every description in Rumbold Street, Lincoln.[2] They were joined by George Lamb Scott, but in 1855 Watkinson, who had previously worked for Clayton & Shuttleworth of Lincoln, left the company. The business then became Robey and Scott and moved their premises by 1856 to Canwick Road, Lincoln.[3] Another partner, Thomas Gamble, joined the firm and Scott resigned in September 1856 to found his own manufacturing company in Manchester. The company then became Gamble & Robey, but by 1868 was known as Robey & Co Ltd.[4]
Robert Robey died in 1876 and the firm continued as a partnership led by John Richardson. In 1893 Robey & Co became a limited company.[5] By 1913 Robeys were makers of steam motor wagons, tractors and ploughs and in the First World War manufactured aircraft. The company was purchased by Babcock International in 1984.
In 2012 we received from NASA an order for 6 new models of International Space Station. NASA requested to modify our current model in order to represent the latest changes and additions to ISS so the model will depict the most current and updated configuration.
The foam lining in the transit cases for modified models was adjusted accordingly to accommodate the models and new separate elements.
Along with the order of 6 modified models for NASA we also produced one model in luxury edition for CERN, which was shipped to Geneva, Switzerland and receive excellent feedbacks for its accuracy and versatility.

Snapshots from a comparison of secondary structure formation using different force fields in microsecond molecular dynamics simulations. All simulations were started from the same initial conditions.
We tested the following force fields: Amber ff99SB-ILDN, Amber ff99SB*-ILDN, Amber ff99SB, Amber ff99SB*, Amber ff03, Amber ff03*, GROMOS96 43a1p, GROMOS96 53a6, CHARMM27 and OPLS-AA/L
Snapshots:
The snapshots show the final configurations after one microsecond. The secondary structures are clearly different.
Interaction between D77 and T80 typically precedes hairpin formation. This interaction is formed in the first 10ns in the Amberff99SB*-ILDN trajectory.

Borg fork mount for slow mo control.
Canon 500D with RDF cos cant use laser pointer at star parties.
Polar Alignment with Vixen Polar Scope (great engineering work but a pain to use because its not illuminated. Figuring out a DIY illuminator soon)
Tripod legs has Kick-me-nots (led lights from Astro Gizmos, Jeff was at the star party)
Kicking the tripod is a real hassle because you have to polar align again. Actually putting the lights on the front of your shoes makes more sense so you know where the tip of your shoes are.
The Borg Fork mount is great for slo-mo but a little fiddly to use at night. You need to get used to which knobs to turn, in the dark.
Last thing - cover everything with Red cellophane - back of DSLR, laptop on switches etc.. You be amazed how much white light comes from the various equipment.
pete configured extra weight beneath the tripod for extra stability. winds were forecast to increase to 30 mph on the 3rd night with freezing temperatures.
