One of the most successful light rail systems in the whole of Europe, the Nottingham Express Transit system which opened in 2004 after 16 years of development and planning has become a vital part of the city's public transport system, being able to clear away the cars from the narrow streets of the city, opening up the area to have on-street restaurants and cafes to give the place an all the more European feel.
The NET system was originally conceived in 1988, in an attempt to win back the crowded and congested city from the grip of poorly designed urban road networks that had ended up becoming huge car parks full of smog. £268 million and several retreads with the Department for Transport, resulted in the 8.7 mile, 23 stop system opening on the 9th March 2004. The original route was built between Hucknall and Nottingham Station, with 2.8 miles of track built for street-running. From Wilkinson Street northward, the line runs parallel to the Robin Hood Railway line, which runs from Nottingham to Worksop on the Sheffield/Lincoln line. In addition to the Hucknall route, a small 1 mile branch to Phoenix Park diverges near the north end of the route to allow for Park & Ride connections with the M1 Motorway, with trams operating between the two termini alternating on a 10 minute headway, meaning services into the city run every 5 minutes.
However, more recently the route has garnered acclaim for the construction of its new Phase 2 scheme, which has seen the route extended beyond its elevated terminus at Nottingham Station and onwards to Clifton and Toton, extending the route to 14.8 miles and serving areas to the south of the city. The most prominent part of this route's construction was the gradual movement of a 170ft long bridge over the active Nottingham train station, taking the completed structure and pushing it wholesale over the tracks and trains below, with the result that no trains were disrupted by this inch-by-inch operation. Services began in September 2015.
Trams currently used on the route are the original fifteen Incentro AT6/5 units built by Bombardier Transportation at Derby Litchurch Lane, but have since been complimented in 2014 by Citadis 302 tramcars built by Alstom, with 22 units constructed to coincide with the opening of Phase 2. Between them, these units have an annual ridership of 7.9 million people, an average of 21,000 per day.
Sometimes septic systems are not installed at the site of a home. It this case, sewer lines from a number of homes share the same trenches as the wastewater is moved to an adjacent area where the drainfields are installed.
The inclusion of fire alarm system in the home security alarms management will benefit the homeowners in getting fire alerts from monitoring stations and the presence of fire extinguisher equipment in different kinds of environment can protect from damage of the surroundings. The article covers the classification of various kinds of fire evolved due to ignition of gases, liquids, wood and so on.
Since we moved to our new office on Nov 1st, the shop room has been neglected. Now we finally have time to set up our CNC router and have moved the laser cutter into it's own protected room.
this room contains: CNC router, dust collection system, table saw, drill press, and laser cutter (in closet)

4rd Paraty em Foco International Festival.
Thanks to Portuguese engineering involving an ingenious curvature of the cobblestone streets, Paraty is home to a unique phenomenon. Once a month when there is a Full Moon and the tide is high, seawater rises from its normal levels, and pours into the Historic Center District through special openings in the seawalls that separate the city from the harbor. The streets are only flooded for a short time, until the tide recedes. The water is usually only six to ten inches deep and a few merchants near the seawall put out small bridges to span the flooded streets for the benefit of pedestrians.

4° Festival Internacional de Fotografia Paraty em Foco.
Graças à engenharia Portuguesa, Paraty é dona de um fenômeno único. As ruas de pedra do centro histórico foram construÃdas abaixo do nÃvel do mar, e durante a Lua cheia, quando a maré sobe, a cidade é inundada através de aberturas no muro que separa a cidade do cais. Antigamente quando não havia esgoto encanado, os dejetos eram jogados nas ruas e o mar fazia a limpeza. A inundação acontece 2 vezes por dia, enche e esvazia rapidamente e permance cheio somente algumas horas.
FAR too much fun with photoshop elements...I started messing around with rendering effects on a photo of a beach, and ended up with a psuedo-solar system
Photos posted to link to this car's project thread on the Cadillac message boards.
Wow, I think this marks my greatest length of thread-neglect! Almost 5 months! This isn't the new normal though, I will have some time again to work on the car and clear out my parts shelf which once again is getting a little cluttered with the crap I buy on ebay.
I have not done much to the car since my last update besides drive it until the first snow in December. The alternator remains un-rebuilt. Fortunately (?) I made a discovery that the noise I was hearing under certain conditions was not the alternator at all, so it won't need anything besides diode replacement (coming soon).
Now, I did find where the noise was coming from-one of the A.I.R. check valves had failed and sounded something like an accordion for a few minutes when the car was restarted hot. The A.I.R. system switches between two modes of operation-one in which the pump pushes air into the exhaust manifolds, and another in which air gets shot into the catalytic converter-both of which help to keep emissions down. The mode selected depends on what conditions the ECM sees. The check valves keep the boiling hot dirty exhaust from flowing into the hoses and pump which would ruin them in short order-ironically kind of like a diode! In my case, the check valve for the exhaust manifold had failed or was beginning to and on a hot restart the air from the pump would disturb it to create that annoying noise. So it needed to be replaced. Here is the part in question in case you have never heard of/seen it (I didn't)
It is in the vicinity of the power module
The little bastard screws onto a "T" fitting that looked more like plumbing equipment than an auto part to me. On each side of the T, there is a metal line that runs to each exhaust manifold. Clean air flows through the check valve when the switching valve directs air to it.
While the two lines came off easily, the check valve itself was stuck like you would not believe. The tee fits into a 7/8ths wrench, and the captured nut on the valve is 1 inch, and using my two largest wrenches on each with every ounce of strength I had I was only able to break them loose after soaking in transmission fluid for a few days. And even then just barely.
The exact part number of the failed valve was not available so I substituted another one that was otherwise identical. I suspect the differences in part numbers (there are a ton of them) have to do with unique backpressures for every engine configuration GM made across all their cars. I bought one spec'd for a 307 Olds V8, which I figure is as close to the 4100 in terms of back pressure as I could get. Could be totally wrong on that too. Anyway, it no longer makes the noise!
Now the other part of the A.I.R. system is for the catalytic converter. The check valve on this one was good, and I suspect it lives a much easier life than the one for the manifolds as it is not subjected to the high pressures or heat. But it needed love too, when I had the catalytic converter changed, the shop cut off the end of the pipe which entered the old bead converter at a 90 degree angle and used high temperature hose to make the connection.
I can't say I was happy with the way it looked but it seemed to do the job. Except that when braking or accelerating hard, the hose would allow the metal tubing (now loose) to move back and forth which made for an annoying knock. I wasn't sure what to do but I was certainly surprised when I learned Rockauto still stocks this pre-bent metal tubing unique for the 84-85 Eldorado. Go figure. I ordered it and when it arrived, I was disappointed to discover that it lacked the mounting bracket that goes up near the engine. So I ended up taking my old and new tube to a welder who transferred the bracket to the new one for me.
I also put a new check valve on it. Note that this valve lacks the captured nut. That is a catalytic converter check valve and it is physically smaller than the one for the manifold. They thread size is the same, but the nipple is the part that won't allow you to put the other diameter hose on it.
Here it is mounted to the "new" cat. I have to spin that clamp at the Y fitting, it should face the passenger side. Bah shops! So, that concludes today's edition of what invisible repair I managed to waste my time and money on!
The Kiara series has several different models, each with its own specific technical and functional characteristics. In the different versions with fixed or round trays, with double impeller, water softener, rinse tank pre-filter tank, double-cycle timer (to mention only a few of its features) there is certainly the washer for you.

1971 Range Rover 2-door.
Used on the ‘Darien Gap’ MoD expedition from Alaska to Cape Horn via the difficult Darien Isthmus crossing.
The expedition started on 3rd December 1971 from Anchorage in Alaska and ended at the southern-most tip of Terra del Fuego in South America, reached by 10th June 1972. The two Range Rovers was supplied by Rover and crewed with men from the 17th/21st Lancers. The British Trans-Americas expedition was led by Major John Blashford-Snell, who had Blue Nile and Red Sea expedition experiences behind him.
The Range Rovers with registered number VXC 765K and VXC 868K, were basically standard LHD vehicles intended for export to Switzerland. No actual parts were strengthened. The only extra protection were heavy duty towing eyes, special bush bars made from two front bumpers and a petrol tank guard. Engine and transmission were just standard production items, fitted with snorkel exhaust tube extensions. They also had a Fairey engine-driven capstan winch, extra halogen spot lights, screen pillar swivel lamps, split charge twin batteries system, 12 x 16.5in or 7.50 x 16 Firestone Super All-Traction swamp tyres and removable wing panels for easier access to them.
Last MoT test expired in February 2013.
The Cask Radiation Profiling System (CRPS), is a data acquisition system to acquire gamma and neutron radiation profiles in CANDU spent fuel dry storage facilities. The CRPS motor unit is used to ascend a gamma or neutron detector inside the verification tube of a spent fuel storage silo. Detector pulse information is provided during the consistent detector motion, and, together with information of the detector movement’s speed, is recorded in a data acquisition file on the CRPS control unit. The data acquisition file is used to verify the presence of spent fuel stored in the respective repository.

Cadillac de Ville series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Cadillac DeVille was originally a trim level and later a separate model produced by Cadillac.
The first car to bear the name was the 1949 Coupe de Ville, a pillarless two-door hardtop body style with a prestige trim level above that of the Series 62 luxury coupe.
The last model to be formally known as a DeVille was the 2005 Cadillac DeVille, a full-size sedan, the largest car in the Cadillac model range at the time.
The next year, the DeVille was officially renamed DTS."
(...)
"The name "DeVille" is derived from the French de la ville or de ville meaning "of the town".
(...)
"The first Cadillac "Coupe de Ville" was shown during the 1949 Motorama."
(...)
- First generation (1959–1960).
- Second generation (1961–1964).
- Third generation (1965–1970).
- Fourth generation (1971–1976).
"As with all GM full-size lines, the DeVille was redesigned for 1971."
(...)
"Styling changes for 1975 brought dual rectangular headlamp lenses flanked by rectangular cornering lights wrapped around the body. A new cross hatched grille also appeared. Sedan de Villes now featured slim triangular quarter windows that mimicked the coach windows that appeared on Coupe de Villes the previous year. New standard equipment included front fender lamp monitors, power door locks, high energy ignition, steel-belted radial tires.
The 210 hp 500 V8 replaced the 472 as the standard engine. Electronic fuel injection became optional in March 1975. Another option was the Astroroof with sliding sunshade that permitted use as an electrically operated sunroof or a transparent closed skylight. An ordinary sunroof panel was also available.
In 1976 the grille saw a new and finer crosshatching pattern. Cornering lamps got new horizontal chrome trim while tail lamps gained a new bold look. Eight different color accent stripes were available. Vinyl tops were now integral padded Elk grain material. New trims included sporty plaids, plush velours, knits and 11 distinctive genuine leathers.
Coupe de Villes had a new vinyl roof whose top molding served as a continuation of the door "belt" molding. A Controlled (limited-slip) Differential was included for extra traction. An optional illuminated entry and theft deterrence system was optional. A new battery, called the Freedom battery, never needed water added.[] New turbine veined and wire wheel covers were offered. A new option locked the doors when the transmission lever was shifted to "Drive". Cadillac also offered Track Master, a computerized skid prevention system that automatically pumped the back brakes in an emergency to shorten stopping distance. New options included a push-button Weather Band built into the AM/FM stereo signal-seeking radio, loose pillow style seats for d'Elegance packages, plus power passenger and manual driver seatback recliners for 50/50 front seats.
Of the 15 standard and six optional Firemist body colors, 13 were new this year. New standard features included map light, Soft-Ray tinted glass, spare tire cover, washer fluid level indicator, and steel belted radial whitewall tires."
- Fifth generation (1977–1984).
"1977 was Cadillac's 75th anniversary, and saw the introduction of the downsized DeVille coupes and sedans."
(...)
- Sixth generation (1985–1993).
- Seventh generation (1994–1999).
- Eighth generation (2000–2005).
