Boeing 720B Cockpit Simulator
The first jet powered airliner, the deHavilland Comet, flew for the first time in 1949 and entered service in 1952. A series of accidents pointed out serious problems in the aircraft's design, and the grounding of the Comet for the next four years opened the door for Boeing and Douglas Aircraft to take the lead in jet airliner design. Boeing's entry into the jet age, the 707, quickly came to dominate the market, outstripping both the Douglas DC-8 and the redesigned Comet. Based on Boeing's design for an aerial refueling tanker for the U.S. Air Force, the 707 took advantage of Boeing's experience with jet bomber designs to incorporate a swept wing and engines in separate pods under the wings. The first production 707 flew in 1957, with the first commercial flight by Pan American Airways in October 1958. Between then and 1978 a total of 1,010 aircraft were built by Boeing for the world's airlines. In addition to the standard 707s, Boeing built 152 of a slightly shorter version of the plane called the 720. These planes were designed to fly medium range flights from smaller airports, a niche in the market that would eventually be filled by the Boeing 727.
Training of airline pilots is accomplished to a great extent in detailed cockpit simulators that exactly duplicate the aircraft they will one day be flying. In full motion simulators, like this one, hydraulic or electric jacks move the simulator realistically in response to the pilot's control inputs and simulated external forces. Each simulator not only represents a specific type of aircraft but replicates the flying characteristics of one particular example of that type. This simulator was programmed to replicate a Boeing 720 with the registration N93143 which was once owned by Western Airlines. The use of simulators makes practicing both normal and emergency procedures less expensive and much less dangerous. Today the vast majority of airline pilot training is done in full motion simulators rather than in real aircraft.

Right. So now you can see here what I was banging on about in the long description at the last photo. And you can see the reason why I didn't just turn the upper 'plinth' (I don't know what the proper name is for this element) on the lathe. It is because the leaf tips overlap this element, so to preserve those tips it has to be carved out.
The 50 years since the grounding of the tanker Torrey Canyon in 1967 have seen dramatic and sustained reduction in major oil spills from ships, thanks to cooperation between Governments and industry.
The story of how that incident served as a catalyst for positive change is told in a new exhibition which was launched on Monday (16 January) at the headquarters of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the United Nations agency with responsibility for the safety and security of international shipping and the prevention of pollution from ships.

Coast Guard responded to the grounding of the Ocean Spirit I Jan. 23, 2018 just off the entrance of the East Gregory Channel of Charlotte Amalie Harbor in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. Coast Guard Marine Safety Detachment personnel in St. Thomas are working with the master and owner of the Ocean Spirit I and the vessel's salvage company to minimize any potential environmental impact or damage to the vessel's hull during refloating and removal operations.
Integrated Grounding
Panels feature integrated grounding via
resilient ground tabs engaged during
module insertion.
Front panel grounding, rotary encoder board with piezo beeper, and LCD switch panel boards. The front metal panel is already grounded to the chassis by frame bolts seen on the left margin. The added cost of adding a separate ground wire is nice, it reduces any chance that a flex in the case will change the net impedance path to ground; this wire is drawn all the way to a single ground point at the back of the unit; the same is for the other ground wire visible. The rotary switch module is a single unit, and uses fairly generic components and repairable, albeit the likelihood of it failing is fairly small as its a low power item.

Inveneo is proud to be an implementing partner with Creative Associates in the Tanzania 21st Century Basic Education Program (Tz21) where our role is to lead the technology intervention design and deployment with Kicheko Ltd, our Inveneo Certified ICT Partner (ICIP) in Tanzania. Together, Inveneo and Kicheko have been instrumental in introducing sustainable technology solutions that are relevant to rural Tanzanian schools that often lack electrical power and ICT skilled staff.
Recently we passed a major milestone in the program - the deployment of information and communication technologies to 5 pilot schools.
Dr. H.E. Kavishe of Kicheko, Wayan Vota and Jen Overgaag of Inveneo, assisted by a cadre of Kicheko technicians, installed a mix of laptops, desktops, LED projectors and related networking and power equipment at Naliendele, Kambarage, Darajani, and Kisiwandui Primary Schools, and Machakaeni Teacher Center.
The pilot deployment is testing technology configurations and the installation was used to train local engineers on Inveneo installation methodologies in preparation for the major ICT deployment to all schools, scheduled for early 2012.

These NMDs were bought from a friend in Europe. They are wonderfully broken in, both the soles and the uppers.
They are a bit large, so my big toes don't line up with the toe holes in the uppers until I slide my feet a bit forward. The soles are prefect however, the real grounding feel. Good for long walks.
Noticed on a few DIY sites that the ground wire simply went to the frame, but the frame is painted, not bare metal. Many buffed off the paint to get a good ground connection. I did the same. Easy and works well.

There is the moral of all human tales,
'tis but the same rehearsal of the past.
First Freedom, and then Glory- when that fails-,
wealth, vice, corruption, barbarism at last.
And History, with all her volumes vast,
Hath but one page- 'tis better written here,
Where gorgeous tyranny hath thus amass'd
all treasures, all delights, that eye or ear.
Heart, soul could seek, tongue ask - Away with words! draw near.

FLOURITE "The Stone of Discernment"
Fluorite is a highly protective and stabilizing stone, useful for grounding and harmonizing spiritual energy. When working with the upper Chakras, Fluorite increases intuitive abilities, links the human mind to universal consciousness, and develops connection to Spirit. Fluorite further anchors intuitive insights into the physical plane, allowing mental and physical coordination.
Fluorite heightens mental abilities, assisting in rapid organization and processing of information, and can bring mental clarity and stability to an otherwise chaotic situation. Fluorite absorbs negative energies from the environment and is effective at Auric and Chakra cleansing. Fluorite can also shield the user from psychic manipulation. Fluorite should be cleared often.
In addition to the general metaphysical uses of Fluorite, there are additional traits associated with different types of Fluorite. Fluorite occurs naturally in many colors, and slightly different additional properties are associated with each color. Green Fluorite aids access to intuition. Green Fluorite can ground and absorb excess energy, including environmental energies. Use Green Fluorite to cleanse and renew the chakras.

It’s no secret that spending time in nature has inherent therapeutic benefits. For years, even the modern medical community has acknowledged a link between mental and emotional states and outdoor activity. However, recent scientific studies have turned their attention to a technique known as earthing, discovering evidence of the substantial physiological changes that contact with nature can produce in our bodies.
What is Earthing?
Also known as grounding, earthing is the process of directly connecting with the supply of negative ions located across the Earth’s surface. Although they may be termed negative ions, these free mobile electrons have long been associated with a number of positive health benefits, discussed below. Similarly, their positive ion counterparts are related to just the opposite, linked to an increase in allergic reactions, infections, and even depression. Early human civilizations naturally attuned their bodies to the Earth’s energetic field and enjoyed the benefits of earthing simply by their way of life. Regular physical contact with the Earth’s surface was an inevitable part of daily activity, as most early humans worked in agriculture, roamed barefoot, and even slept on the ground. The developments of modern society have reduced the amount of contact humans naturally have with the Earth, and at the same time has increasingly exposed us to harmful positive ions through the electromagnetic fields that our electronic devices produce. By subjecting the body to concentrated amounts of negative ions, earthing allows us to restore much-needed balance in our energetic fields. Since both the Earth’s surface and the human body are electrically conductive, this can be achieved by any means of direct physical contact with the Earth. Walking outside barefoot, touching soil, and swimming in the ocean are just a few grounding methods that allow the body to effortlessly absorb negative ions from the Earth. Additionally, earthing can be done indoors through the use of conductive grounding systems that transfer energy to the body.
Benefits to Earthing
In addition to improved mental states, a number of observable physiological changes have been documented by scientific studies as a result of earthing and grounding:
Chronic pain relief: 74% of test subjects with chronic joint pain reported significant relief after sleeping on a conductive mattress pad for one month.
Improved sleep: 11 out of 12 test subjects with dysfunctional sleep patterns reported falling asleep easier when using a conductive mattress pad, and saliva tests revealed the restoration of normal nighttime cortisol secretion levels through the eight-week period.
Reduced stress levels: Biofeedback tests revealed subjects exposed to earthing displayed a significant change in left brain hemisphere activity and decreased blood volume pulse.
Reduced inflammation: Participants who slept grounded after an intense exercise session experienced a shorter recovery time and a lower white blood cell count, indicating less inflammation when compared to control participants.
These results indicate the significant benefits earthing provides for not just cancer patients, but all individuals seeking a healthier lifestyle. Best of all, since this therapeutic technique requires only the desire and discipline of the participant to simply spend time outside, it is equally accessible to everyone. At Hope4Cancer, we are dedicated to giving our patients the best quality of life possible. We are proudly established in two seaside locations that offer patients the opportunity to practice earthing during their clinic stay, walking barefoot in the sand, breathing fresh air, or swimming in the ocean. More importantly, however, we continuously stay at the forefront of medical research and technology, allowing us to relay the latest relevant scientific developments to our community as timely as possible. For more information about how Hope4Cancer can help you on the path to recovery, schedule a free consultation with our personal assistance team here.
