This past week the Somerset Independent School Board awarded the bid to Branscum Construction for installing artificial turf on the William Clark Football football field. It will be the first football field in the local area to replace out their old gridiron grass surface with the more modern and user-friendly artificial turf.
Since Clark Feld was built nearly 45 years ago, the athletic field - located on the campus of Somerset's Meece Middle School - is comparable to any of the best high school athletic complexes in the state of Kentucky. With an estimated seating capacity of 7,000 fans, Clark Field has stood the test of time for nearly half a century. And thanks to the foresight of the Somerset administration, Clark Field looks as pristine now as it did when it was first used in the mid 1970's.
And now with a new bright-colored artificial turf surface, Clark Field now finds its way into the 21st century. Where high school grass football fields were the norm in the mid 70's, artificial grass surfaces are now becoming the new norm all over the state.
Once you get past the initial costs of turfing a football field with the green synthetic fibers, the pros far outweigh the cons. There is minimal maintenances of the artificial surfaces, such as no mowing, no watering, and no worries of losing the field to drought, heavy traffic or grass diseases. Plus multiple sports and school activities can be performed on the artificial grass surfaces with out the fear of wearing down the grass with heavy use.
When the Briar Jumpers take to the football field this fall, the new turf is just one of the many upgrades made to the football complex over the past several years.
New black chain-link fencing was put around the entire football complex. A new radio remote-control scoreboard was installed at Clark Stadium. Clark Field was equipped with new state-of-the-art lighting. Somerset also built a new Bricked stadium entrance ticket booth and a lavish iron gate entrance to the historic stadium. Also, Somerset made renovations to their football press box and bleacher kick plates. Last year, the Briar Jumpers sported school-colored sideline field covers.
As a matter of fact, Somerset superintendent Kyle Lively and the school board have made noticeable upgrades to all of the Briar Jumpers' athletic facilities over a short span.
They added new black chain-link fencing around the softball, baseball, football and soccer fields. The baseball, softball, soccer and football venues all got new radio remote controlled scoreboards.
The Somerset soccer field is getting a new bricked ticket both entrance, which includes restrooms and concession. The soccer teams are getting a new bricked fieldhouse, located at east end of the field. The Briar Jumper soccer teams have enjoyed their sideline covered dugouts for the past several seasons.
The Charlie Taylor baseball complex has got it's share of upgrades as well, including new backstop netting, a left-field outdoor hitting canopy, and a new indoor hitting facility (replacing the old one, which was destroyed by fire).
The softball and volleyball teams got new locker rooms, and the cheerleaders got new tumbling matts.
And on top of all the above listed athletic upgrades, the Somerset School system purchased the old 'once city-owned' YMCA building, which features an additional basketball gym, a weight and exercise room and many other rooms the schools can utilize. And renovation of the swimming pool will begin in May, which will put Somerset Schools in an elite group of schools having their own pool for use by their swim team.
We would like to commend the Somerset Independent Schools for their visionary thinking, planning and execution of upgrading their athletic facilities over the past few years.

The focus of this investigation is on the optimum placement of a limited number of dampers, fewer than the number of blades, on a bladed disk to induce the smallest amplitude of blade response. The optimization process considers the presence of random mistuning, i.e. small involuntary variations in blade stiffness properties resulting, say, from manufacturing variability. Designed variations of these properties, known as intentional mistuning, is considered as an option to reduce blade response and the pattern of two blade types (A and B blades) is then part of the optimization in addition to the location of dampers on the …

When Jeff was concluding his 28-year career with the South Dakota Highway Patrol, he was hoping to find a new path that would allow him to remain connected to law enforcement as well as contribute to the future. Southeast Tech's Law Enforcement Program was a perfect fit. Nine years later he still enjoys the chance to help people find a path in the career of public safety. Before entering the Highway Patrol, Jeff majored in Criminal Justice and Political Science at USD and is a graduate of the Highway Patrol's Recruit Academy. During his career with the Highway Patrol Jeff's assignments included patrol work, SWAT, field training officer, academy instructor in officer safety, firearms and self-defense. After promotions his assignments included commanding SWAT, and supervised auto theft, canines, aviation, executive protection, and the Highway Patrol's academy. His last promotion to the rank of captain placed him in command of the district headquarters in Sioux Falls. He has held numerous certifications in several law enforcement related fields. In his career, Jeff received a Governor's Award for impaired driver enforcement. He was a long-time member of the Highway Patrol's pistol team. He still competes in police pistol competitions all over the country and has been awarded distinguished shooter awards in both the United States and Canada. Jeff often says, "Law enforcement isn't a job, it isn't a career it's a way of life, in which you put the needs of others before your own. That's not easy, but it's rewarding."
Education: Certified Law Enforcement Officer; Certified Law Enforcement Officer – South Dakota Highway Patrol (retired)

Elzen, G. W. and Williams, H. J. and Vinson, S. B. (1984) Isolation and identification of cotton synomones mediating searching behavior by parasitoidCampoletis sonorensis. Journal of Chemical Ecology, 10 (8). pp. 1251-1264.
- Published Version
Restricted to ICRISAT researchers only
In laboratory bioassays, the parasitoidCampoletis sonorensis was attracted to the following sesquiterpenes isolated from cotton essential oil: -humulene, -bisabolene, -caryophyllene oxide, spathulenol, -bisabolol, and a new, naturally occurring bisabolene-related alcohol, (2-p-tolyl-6-methylhept-5-en-2-ol) which we name gossonorol. This is the first report of spathulenol in cotton. -Caryophyllene, a major component of cotton, was not attractive to the parasitoids. The response of the parasitoids to these compounds and the possibility of augmenting parasitoid activity in the field by manipulating plant secondary metabolites is discussed.

I'd almost forgotten about Indivisible, the hand-drawn platforming action-RPG from Skullgirls studio Lab Zero Game. Oh we've seen bits and pieces in the four years since its crowdfunding campaign, but it slipped onto the back burner. Soon it will leap onto... the front burner? I'm not sure how to adapt this metaphor. I'm trying to say that Indivisible finally has a release date and it's…

Skullgirls developers Lab Zero have proven their skills on the artistic and mechanical fronts, and with upcoming action-RPG Indivisible they're applying them to a formula that almost nobody has touched in decades; PlayStation JRPG classic Valkyrie Profile. For those wise enough to have backed the crowdfunded game, a new demo has been released, and for the rest of us, a fancy new gameplay trailer that you can see within.
4 years ago
Skullgirls creators Lab Zero have successfully raised a whopping $1.5m for their action RPG, Indivisible. $1.6m even, with a couple of days left to see that grow even taller. $3.6m even, with the now-secured publisher funding too. Enough money, it seems, for the characters to afford clothes this time out.
Regular reader Bunty Hoven writes: Dear Alice, Why do people not call Jonathan Blow, Jason Rohrer, Jonathan Brodsky, and Jonatan Van Hove by their preferred names of J. Blo, J. Ro, J. Bro, and J. Ho?

Have you ever been to hell?
William Booth discovered hell one night when he couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned, then he decided to get up and go for a walk. He journeyed into a part of London he had never walked through -- the poor section. He spent the rest of the night seeing sights and smelling odors he had never before experienced. When he arrived home in the early hours of the morning, his wife Katherine was almost frantic. "Where in the world have you been?" she cried out. He replied, "Katherine, I've been to hell. I've been to hell." He then told her what he'd seen, and together they founded the Salvation Army.
Have you been to hell? "Been to hell and back ... " is an old expression. Is there anyone here who has NOT been to hell and back in his or her personal life? All of you have. I'm asking if you've ever been to another kind of hell -- a social hell, an economic hell, a demographic hell.
You say: You've never been to hell?
I say: Then why not?
Why haven't you...

What is the purpose of social networking in a corporate field? To make your brand stand out and position itself as one of the most attractive brands? Well, that could be a cursory way of looking at it. But if we delve into the bigger picture, it's more about making a very strong connection with your online audience whom you can inspire and improving your social media engagement. It's about assuring them that you are out there for you and value their loyalty amidst myriads of competitors. Building a strong relationship with your audience can be difficult and may take a lot of time to develop. You need smart social media tactics to ensure that. Here are some useful social media engagement ideas on how you can embrace your audience and establish a bond with them to make them own your brand.
Understand Your Organization
To start off with, the main point is to comprehend the role played by software tools that help engage your audience. Nonetheless, it is evident that there is so much concentration on the tool itself instead of the knowledge how these sorts of 'digital tools' can be utilized to attract more clients and users. Social media tools can truly be proficient in connecting to and embracing a large audience only when they are used wisely. Marketers need to have a close look at how technology can really make a difference in this area.
Prioritize Social Listening
Would it be a good idea for you to truly spend a substantial amount of your resources going through social media posts instead of creating your own? While most brands know the general importance of social tuning in, they don't exactly get exactly how critical it can be to business strategy.
Learn more about Twitter management in the article How to Keep Everyone Hooked To Your Twitter Account With Social Champ.
Consider Twitter. Of the considerable number of Tweets about your brand, just 30% really incorporate your Twitter handle. More essentially, just 9% utilize the @ notwithstanding your handle. At the end of the day, 91% of updates that you should think about will never appear in your notifications unless you search for them yourself. One way to handle this is to use a good social media management tool such as Social Champ which can help you maintain a constant presence on Twitter and keep your connected with your followers. Learn more about Twitter management in the article How to Keep Everyone Hooked To Your Twitter Account With Social Champ.
Find Relevant Keywords
When your business comprehend the significance of social networking, it's an ideal social media tracking tool to assemble a methodology that encourages you to structure and scale the procedure. Like SEO, building that technique starts with finding the right keywords and expressions your target audience routinely talks about.
Normally, that keyword rundown ought to incorporate the different cycles, shortenings, and even incorrect spellings of your image name. The more varieties of your name you can concoct that your viewers may really scan for, the more chances you have of appearing in front of your target audience.
Create an Engagement Strategy
Of course, even the best keywords and tools matter little if you don't know what to do once you actually find relevant content for your brand. That's why the majority of your time should be spent not listening, but responding to the relevant conversations you find on social media.
Learn how to post content on your social networks efficiently
To streamline that process, create an engagement strategy. You will find all types of comments, from complaints to praises, comparisons, and general industry discussions. Create a rubric that allows you to be strategic about the best response to each type of comment. Also, you need to be really active on social media .
Evaluate and Adjust
Finally, as is the case with any type of marketing efforts, build your social listening strategy in a way that allows for adjustments over time. Not every response will be viewed favorably. Some users may feel they are intruded upon, while others will use it as an opportunity to lash out at your brand. Keep track of your wins and losses over time, in order to better understand how you can best treat each individual comment.
In addition, give yourself the opportunity to adjust your keyword strategy overtime. If you find that some keywords never seem to gain any traction, eliminate them from your reports. On the other hand, if you keep coming across keywords you're not tracking yet, add them. That way, you can be sure that when a discussion relevant to your brand occurs on social media, you at least know about it.

The Value of Travel Time and Reliability: Commuting on 407 ETR examines what commuters pay to use 407 ETR relative to what they receive in return—primarily in the form of time savings and more predictable commute times. To determine the extent to which 407 ETR provides time savings, and to quantify reliability of 407 ETR travel times relative to other routes, three distinct data sources were used: Global Positioning System (GPS) data; cellular networks; and a field study, composed of volunteers. The results show that 407 ETR routes offer time savings that are large while also improving the predictability of commute times. The case of 407 ETR shows that commuters are willing to pay direct charges for road use if they see a sufficient value proposition in terms of time savings and increased reliability.

A warship, no matter how good she is on paper, are only as good as the the men who man her, this is why it has always been the case that those who commanded warships were the best of their kind. All ships had their virtues, and,their vices, good captains exploit them, poor and mediocre Captains do not, they may well be competent Captains but if they cannot exploit their ships strengths and their opponents ships weaknesses they remain competent Captains and will rarely become renowned. Competent Captains are ten a penny, Captains of renown are far rarer creatures and on a bad day can be bested by competent Captains or by circumstance. A competent Captain should know when to to fight and when to evade, he should know that if he cannot beat a Le Requin that she cannot run before the wind and will act accordingly, if he knows he can stand his ground with a good chance of winning then he'll do so, it is the Captain who makes both the ship's and his own name, and, not the ship that makes the Captain, this is why not every Captain becomes a John Paul Jones or a Nelson, I will not be either, but I know I can hold off a Le Requin even in a traders brig, and have done so, although the Captain in question clearly had greater stock in the the reputation of his his ship than his own abilities in her! The issue of a ships rating is complex,almost every navy of the time used different criteria for rating ships, so unless only one rating system is used there will always be differences in opinion of what a specific class of ship should be rated, one mans 6th rate can easily be another mans 5th rate, or vice versa, likewise, with cannon differing weight scales can result in heavier poundage doing less damage than an apparently lighter gun since there was no standardisation of cannons or weight of shot between nations.

Sir Lancelot Holland replied to Knuddel's topic in SuggestionsIt is not a question of risk/reward at all, it is a question of doing what has to be done to defend a port, if a nation wants to attain victory by sending overwhelming forces believing they cannot lose there is no point in complaining that they are screened out by inferior forces, any attacker who is arrogant enough to think that they will always win using superior ships and mods deserves to be taught differently and this is what is happening here, nothing more, nothing less. It is no different to the fate of Napoleons army when they invaded Russia, the Russian army did not beat Napoleon, Russia's winter beat Napoleon, and it was sound military tactics by the Russians to take advantage of of their Winter to win their war, so it is, with any nation who uses small ships to screen out a superior force, you use what you have to best advantage, sometimes you will win, sometimes you will lose, but as the British like to say, 'all is fair in love and war'. These 'Kamikaze' Screener's get no tangible reward for what they do, unlike the VM's that the overwhelming force would get if they got into the PB and destroyed a fleet incapable of it;s own defence, never mind the port, yet they go out time after time to defend with courage and honour, to the best of their ability, there is I think a great deal of satisfaction among screener's when they know that these great ships of the line also get no reward when they are sent packing by a 'rag tag navy' with inferior mods, perhaps, then, our enemies had better pray that we remain so, for, if we actually 'git gud' as some tell us to do, who knows what we may achieve?
[Caribbean] Great battle results.
Sir Lancelot Holland replied to monk33y's topic in Caribbean NewsThis was, I think, the last large scale Anglo-Spanish battle before the wipe, There had been a number of battles around Mantua during the evening. The results aside these battles were characterised by the relative lack of salt and the conduct of both Spanish and British players was, by and large, courteous, gentlemanly, and, very much typical of sea warfare of this period. I too hope the front-lines system can be refined, such areas would reduce the frustration levels of spending hours seeking action and finding little or none, and, may also reduce the numbers preying on new players around capitals.
Determining your position on the map
Sir Lancelot Holland replied to Vlaxie's topic in SuggestionsThe use of the sextant was actually mandatory for all Officers, Midshipmen were taught by the Master to use one, and, it was an important part of the examination for Lieutenant.
Good luck to Snow in the Seven Provinces, now if you could just send over some Gouda and Edam with the Iron shot it would be greatly appreciated!
Serius lost of new players
Sir Lancelot Holland replied to captain smile's topic in Patch Feedback and General discussionsThe retention of new players is without doubt one of the most serious issues currently in game, without them the game will stagnate or in the worst case die. So how can we, the most experienced veterans and testers of this game help them best? Firstly and foremost our attitude and conduct has to change, we cannot afford to maintain our current attitude towards them, neither can we hunt them to extinction. The war server is an harsh environment for veterans, much more so for those who can barely hoist sail, without knowledge of wind, or, basic tactics that will give them a fighting chance to evade or defend themselves against an enemy. The idea of learning the basics on the peace server then bringing their xp and rank over from there is a sound one, they will however still require support on the war server, there is still a vast difference between fighting AI and fighting people, especially where the odds are uneven, and, they often are. I think everyone knows that in real life there were gentlemen s agreements between navy's concerning the 'civilised conduct' of wars at sea, which, were set apart from the the Nation's Articles of War, and rules of engagement that governed life and war at sea. Among those 'agreements was that unless a lower rated ship was part of an organised squadron or opened fire on on a higher rated ship the senior rated ship could not initiate an attack. If for example we were to say that Captains under the rank of Post Captain were immune from attack by higher ranked officers (unless they are part of a fleet in battle, or, were foolish enough to open fire on superior ships, or, Captain's above Post Captain) but are permitted to engage equal or lower ranked Captains with similar experience to themselves their chances of survival to reach high ranks would be much improved, upon reaching Commodore they should at least have a working knowledge of how to sail and fight, and, hopefully we can retain them for a longer period of time. There will of course of course be some Captains who may not adhere to such an agreement, and there is little we can do to prevent them, but, if the majority do there will still be benefit for new players, We could even, by common consent, say that Pirates, being 'outside of the Law' be exempted, at least that would give them something in common with the real Pirates of the day and provide a measure of higher risk for new players who will, at some point have to accept that challenge anyway, but, at least most new players should have a reasonable amount of experience to try to defend themselves, or, disengage from the battle.
The Spanish Pioneers
Sir Lancelot Holland replied to Ankso's topic in HistoryWhat Sir, were the end results of the British Empire? A large part of the Earth owes their political system, the way their military services are run, how their civil services operate to the British. All of the nations under British control were left as functioning nations, aside from the United States, who forged their own path after the war of Independence, even then, their own Constitution was based on Magna Carta, the basis of British law, most were permitted to leave the Empire peacefully becoming part of the Commonwealth of Nations, self governing and mostly prosperous. Yes there were rebellions in India and Africa, yes they were put down with brute force, Spain too utilised brute force to control their Empire in Central and south America, as did France in Africa and Algiers, It is impossible to condemn Great Britain for the use of brute force without also condemning Spain and France, all three of the major European powers were equally guilty in that regard. Great Britain was, in the 19th Century in the forefront of the abolition of slavery, one of the first nations to legally abolish it, £ hundreds of thousands were spent patrolling Africa's ports and Atlantic sea lanes hunting down slave ships, Even the still young United States agreed to cease importing slaves, instead relying on birth numbers to sustain slavery, upon which their economy literally depended. The ill treatment that slaves endured was no different to the treatment of sailors in the Royal Navy and the Army, who, could also be flogged or executed for the most trivial of offenses under the articles of war, so even the 'free' men were treated equally to those who were described as property and chattels under the U.S. Constitution, slavery was never a black and white issue, it was shades of grey with little difference between slave holding and non slave holding nations. Nothing i have said regarding the treatment of freemen or slaves can be considered right or moral by today's standards, but this was the 19th Century and these were the standards and morals of that time, it was done, it cannot be changed to suit a modern perspective, glossing over the cold, hard, realities will not make it all go away, neither is it advisable to cover up the wrongs done by the great European powers or the United States of America, as George Santanta said, "those who forget history are doomed to repeat it". When the aftermath of the British and Spanish Empires are compared it is clear that Great Britain left her former colonies in a far better shape to survive as nations, it may not have been perfect, but, you only have to look at the revolutionary nature of the Latin American countries compared to Canada within the Continent of the Americas to see that much.
Removing Tow, Time at Sea Solutions and Deployments
Sir Lancelot Holland replied to Broadsides's topic in SuggestionsIf Naval Action were actually a simulation of 18/19th century warfare with all the stratagems and tactics, a defined set of victory conditions with re-settable default start points then the OP would be correct. However Naval Action is not that, I do not think that was the intent of the Dev's to begin with, more likely their intent was to provide a taste of naval warfare during a period where it has been heavily romanticised in print and on-screen. If I am wrong I am sure Admin will clarify that point of view. In truth naval warfare of the period was tough, if nature did not kill you the enemy would, if not the enemy then your own side may do so for any one of the infractions of the articles of war, it was fought with values that today are obsolete, yet the basic rules have not changed in centuries, from England it took months to get ships on station in the Caribbean, often remaining there for several years at a time, we are fortunate that we don't have to go to the India or Africa stations, and god forbid the Far East stations! How does one take such circumstances and convert them to a playable game that entertains, remains vibrant and close to the conditions of the time? Where fleets could, and, did pass each other without being seen, where the weather could and did make combat extremely difficult causing more losses than combat, where battles ended in stalemate more often than not, and, big fleet actions were rare, Naval Action sees more battles in a week than most Napoleonic Sailors did in a lifetime, even though some of those lives were short and brutal, we have ships that are close to their real life counterparts, with concessions made for play-ability, we do not fight in conditions that are close to those which navy's had to face in the day in terms of weather, or, regulation, if we did the game would be far too frustrating to play, and, at the end of the day, it is a game not a war simulation.
Deshaies star fort
Sir Lancelot Holland replied to Barbarosa's topic in Patch Feedback and General discussionsIt would work really well for ports in inlets or up river, certainly make some PB's more challenging from a tactical viewpoint. The concept of forward defence and falling back on the guns would make a big difference to light or outnumbered defences, and provide more challenging offensive tactics for attackers as well. One may even see the use of the little used heavy ship batteries where speed and mobility are not major issues.
Admin HIRE THIS GUY! Great for port interface
Sir Lancelot Holland replied to a topic in SuggestionsThe common locations for magazines was below the waterline on the Orlop deck, logically close to the centre of the ship so that all cannons could be served in a similar time-frame. There may have been exceptions of course, and, it was not uncommon for powder bags to kept close to the guns for immediate use, (just as small caliber ammunition would be stored on deck in lockers as ready-use until rounds arrived from the 4 or 5 inch magazines). Later turreted ships would find the Cordite and shell rooms beneath the Barbettes below the waterline for easy flooding in the event of fire, The X turret magazine aboard Hood actually went far enough forward as to have been almost under the Captains day cabin and the Admiral's quarters and was the Magazine that exploded first, examination of the wreck suggests that the resulting fire went forward below decks without setting off Y magazine (which was further aft) venting above decks forward of the Mainmast where the explosion appeared to take place from the Prince of Wales viewpoint. True magazine explosions were very uncommon in the Napoleonic era, the best known example being the French 1st rate L'Orient at the Battle of the Nile, while the fire aboard L'Orient started aft, and low down in the hull, British gunfire spread the fire both forward and to the upper decks, the initial fire may well have been kept under control and away from the magazine were the fire not targeted by British ships. The introduction of Cordite, which tended to destabilize over time, and, required a temperature controlled environment meant a severe rise in magazine detonations even when not in action like HMS Vanguard in 1917, It is quite possible that USS Maine may also have been due to a coal bunker fire setting off a powder magazine, like Bretagne the Maine's loss was controversial, and what actually happened in Havana may never be truly resolved. The French Battleship Bretagne, IJNS Yamato, USS Arizona, HMS Barham and HMS Hood are all well known, documented, magazine explosions due to combat as were the British Battle-cruisers at Jutland. The Loss of the Bretagne was particularly controversial, since her loss at Oran, caused by Force H, a British Battle Squadron, created a great deal of bad feeling between France and Great Britain, ironically HMS Hood, which was Admiral Somerville's flagship at Oran, shared her fate less than a year later near the Denmark Straits. Many lesser known ships also suffered the same fate. Overall it does appear that magazine protection and ammunition handling procedures were better in 18th and most of the 19th century than they were in 20th century before the introduction of Cordite in 1889 as the shell propellant of choice.
ROE Handbook
Sir Lancelot Holland replied to Radicalism's topic in SuggestionsThe Articles of War, which governs daily conduct and behavior in combat, parts of which are read at Sunday Services and at punishment, Port Admiral's or Fleet admiral's instructions (ROE) signal's, Provision's, Ships, and Captain's logs were all part of ships 'library'. I would think that such a book would have to be optional as many people would not want to spend a lot of time on paperwork in a game, those who like to keep a record of where they are going, have been, weather and action reports, or prices, profit and loss what is sold and bought where, would, probably like a log, although, most of the information can be found elsewhere. The idea is good and would bring a touch of authenticity to 'life' at sea for those who have the time and inclination to keep a log.
Privateering at least in the beginning was something of a grey area legally speaking especially where the British were concerned. The likes of Raleigh, Drake, Hawkins, and Frobisher were Officers of the very new Royal Navy in time of war, in times of peace they were known to have operated under letters of Marque signed by Queen Elizabeth I, when it is considered that Pirates were outlaws operating without Letters of Marque and the fact that Queen Elizabeth maintained that they were Royal Navy Officers the claims of Piracy by His Most Catholic Majesty King Philip of Spain may well have credibility for as RN officers they would have been committing an act of war, or, an act of piracy if they did not have letters of Marque! For game purposes however, if you accept that the nations are permanently at war with each other (or all trying to beat GB, depending on your viewpoint lol) then Naval Captains cannot hold a letter of Marque, the Pirates, who in truth should not be a nation per se, (I think a number of Pirates may well prefer a form of Bretheren of the sea, with it's own rules, and, with Letters of Marque as well they could become a unique faction as opposed to a 'Nation'), however, should be able operate under Letters of marque from any nation who chooses to hire them giving them a veneer of legitimacy. There should I think be a time limit on Letters of Marque, perhaps a month with an option to renegotiate a re-issuance of the Letter. This allows the Pirates to change allegiances should they desire to do so. As far as I can tell, under the current Mechanics players under Letters of Marque would be ineligible to enter PB's on behalf of their sponsors, but, nothing restricts them from Screening operations or any other mission that they could legitimately carry out as Pirates.
господа, Я был бы признателен, если бы вы объяснили мне, почему покупка пушек за форт стоит в три раза больше, чем приобретение снаряжения высотой 42 фунта? Хотя я и согласен с тем, что форты - это дорогостоящие предметы для постройки и обслуживания, я не понимаю, почему пушки, которые стоят одинаково, выковывают ли они для форта или корабля, почему я должен купить 200 пушек для форта на 64 пушки? Заранее спасибо, что нашли время из своего плотного графика, чтобы объяснить мне, почему это так. Приношу свои извинения носителям русского языка, если в переводе есть ошибки, русский не является моим родным языком, к сожалению, Google Translate не славится точным переводом синтаксиса и грамматики. Gentlemen, I would appreciate it if you could explain to me why it is that it costs three times the amount to purchase cannons for a fort then it does to outfit a first rate with 42 lb guns? While I accept that forts are expensive items to build and maintain I fail to understand why cannons which cost the same to forge whether for a fort or a ship why I have to purchase 200 cannons for a 64 cannon fort? Thank you, in advance for taking the time from your busy schedule to explain to me why this the case. My apologies to native Russian speakers if there are errors in translation, Russian is not my native language, sadly Google translate is not renowned for its accurate translation of syntax and grammar.
Doctrina civil vs Doctrina militar.
Sir Lancelot Holland replied to lobogris's topic in Naval Action - Spanish language¿Cometió Villeneuve errores en Trafalgar? Sí, ciertamente lo hizo, no conozco a ningún Oficial en ninguna fuerza militar, de ninguna era que no haya cometido errores, Raglan, Lord Chelmsford, Custer, incluso Wellington, Montgomery y Rommel cometieron errores, ninguno de esos oficiales fue calificado como cobarde por sus errores ¿Era grosero o simplemente arrogante? ¡Más de uno de los oficiales de arriba era más que creíble! Personalmente creo que ambos rasgos son malas cualidades en cualquier persona, sin importarles los oficiales de Flag. Una opinión formada a través de la experiencia y, como cualquier opinión, no necesariamente lo hace un hecho. No digo que tu opinión sea errónea, como tampoco la mía, es solo eso, una opinión. Nuestro Nelson, excelente como era, también era arrogante, su arrogancia debería haberlo visto en los tribunales de guerra en más de una ocasión por desobediencia voluntaria, particularmente después de Copenhague. Negarse a navegar bajo órdenes es Mutiny, del mismo modo que las tripulaciones de HMS Rodney y HMS Hood se amotinaron en 1936 en Invergordon, o, peor aún, podrían interpretarse como cobardías en virtud de los Artículos de Guerra de todas las naciones, una ofensa capital bajo ley militar
Doctrina civil vs Doctrina militar.
Sir Lancelot Holland replied to lobogris's topic in Naval Action - Spanish languageSiempre he tenido el mayor respeto por el Almirante Villeneuve, él también podría ser creativo, lo hizo, antes de que Trafalgar no solo rompiera lo que era un bloqueo muy efectivo, sino que lo hizo dos veces, la primera vez incluso llevando a Nelson al Caribe y de regreso a España sin Nelson nunca viendo su flota. Lo más triste de todo fue la forma en que lo trataron después de Trafalgar, ya que lo obligaron a emprender un curso de acción que sabía que no estaba bien aconsejado, sabiendo que en pocos días se le relevaría de su mando y que se le trataría tan mal. por Napoleón Bonaparte por seguir sus órdenes. Realmente siento simpatía por él, un oficial valiente e ingenioso que cumplió con su deber. A diferencia de algunos de mis propios compatriotas, opino que tanto la Armada francesa como la española lucharon bien, con coraje y honor.
Doctrina civil vs Doctrina militar.
Sir Lancelot Holland replied to lobogris's topic in Naval Action - Spanish languageCreo que hubo, y de hecho, todavía hay una marcada diferencia entre las doctrinas civil y militar, también hay áreas donde las dos doctrinas se superponen. Por ejemplo, en las circunstancias correctas, tanto los civiles como los militares son capaces de actos de valentía, pero ambos están sujetos a fallas en la moral a pesar del adoctrinamiento en el estilo de vida militar, principalmente, creo, porque la naturaleza humana es lo que es. No sé si la Armada española presionó a los civiles para que entraran en servicio, la Real Armada ciertamente sacó a la gente de las calles para prestar servicio involuntariamente a bordo de los barcos, por lo que ambas doctrinas habrían estado trabajando a bordo del barco al mismo tiempo. Sin embargo, las dificultades de la vida en el mar y la dura disciplina habrían asegurado que la mayoría de los hombres lucharan cuando llegara el momento. El almirante Villeneuve, al igual que Nelson, también habría informado a sus capitanes y, de hecho, al almirante español y sus capitanes sobre lo que esperaba que sucediera, y expuso sus planes para la próxima batalla. Sin embargo, no se les habría dicho a las tripulaciones, lo que hasta cierto punto habría afectado a los hombres, ya que los humanos tienden a temer lo desconocido. La Historia no dice si el Almirante Villeneuve envió algún tipo de señal para elevar la moral como la que espera la Inglaterra de Nelson, o tal vez la doctrina naval francesa puede no haber permitido esto. ¿La doctrina militar hace que los hombres luchen más duro? No estoy seguro de que así sea, después de todo, los Corsarios y Piratas tenían mucho más que perder, si perdían y eran capturados, morirían de todos modos. Los soldados y los marineros militares luchan porque se les enseña a hacerlo, los civiles solo lucharán para sobrevivir, y solo si las circunstancias los obligan a hacerlo, pero cuando luchan, aparte de la falta de entrenamiento y disciplina, hay poca diferencia entre los dos grupos. Mis disculpas si hay errores, el español no es mi idioma nativo y confío en el traductor de Google.
Clearly the revolution was far more complex event than how it is portrayed, at least in British schools. By comparison Great Britain's attempt at republicanism post civil war(s) was a failure, which, led to our current Constitutional Monarchy. Charles I was an absolute Monarch who believed he reigned by divine right, whether Louis XVI believed the same, or not, I do not know, but, as monarchs they held similar traits and took a similar path to their trials and executions. I took you're advice and read a little deeper into the 'old regime', and I think barely scratched the surface of how things were during the reign of the House of Bourbon, it is strange how the histories of France and England are so similar at different times, maybe the French and the English people have more in common that we realise, or care to admit.
As a young Naval Air Mechanic, I talked with an old submariner who's view was there are two types of ship in war, Submarines and targets! I thought he was being over dramatic right up to the moment my carrier was pronounced sunk by a Norwegian boat on exercise, A well trained, determined, crew with confidence in their ship can achieve a great deal is the lesson I took away from that.
Most of the time you would probably be right, many Captain's would strike their colours for the sake of the remaining crew, however some, like John Paul Jones would rather board the enemy knowing his ship is sinking than give up, so it really depends on the caliber of the Captains involved.
RNG Crafting
Sir Lancelot Holland replied to Sir David Green's topic in SuggestionsWhy not have a rating system for crafter's similar to the promotional system? For instance a Crafter can build entry level ships that cater to new and junior players, Shipwrights who build for mid level players and Master Shipwrights who build high end PVP and PB ships to the highest standard. Each level crafts all ships but craft better ships as their rate gets higher, and, can get higher profits by using better materials. These shipwrights could be supplied by traders and ordnance manufacturers of a matching level all of whom can also sell their products to the Admiralty or privately in the shops as well. This would put high value cargo's as well as general trade on the Open Water, offer an incentive for more genuine piracy when Pirates intercept then sell onward or use those cargo's and introduce more realistic commerce warfare by naval forces bringing the game more in line with the functions of pirates, privateers, raiders and navy's while increasing the value of the ports where they operate.
What I should have said was that the similarity was there before the revolution, certainly; the fact that many of the aristocratic families left France before, during and after the Revolution would have had a devastating effect on both the Army and the Navy, at least, until new Officers could be trained and gained experience. I note with interest your figures regarding the Aristocracy at the time of the revolution, here in England we are taught about this era from a British perspective, which, naturally differs from that of the French people, for example the involvement of the Clergy is not mentioned in British history lessons taught in schools, so if I appear to have misconceptions about what happened during a very turbulent time in French history I am happy to stand corrected. I do wonder that if M. Robespierre and his fellow revolutionaries were alive today and could see that the privileged still hold power in every nation, would they ask themselves, if it was all worth while? I do think that the Revolution benefited the French people in many ways, but, that the cost was tragically high among both the Aristocracy and the Citizenry, as is the case with all revolutions.
I think in this respect the composition of the Officer corps of the French Navy was in fact little different from that of the the Royal Navy, an Officer would either be of the aristocracy, or, if not, like Nelson (who was the son of a Norfolk Parson) have patronage from an Officer who was from the aristocracy. That the French, as a nation rebelled against their lawful government and the subsequent terror that followed is no surprise, given the conditions that the common man lived under, indeed, there was always the fear that it could happen in Great Britain too. It was I think more that the fear of the same happening in Great Britain (The regicide of Charles Stuart, King Charles I, after the British civil wars ensured that fear would be always present) that made the Napoleonic wars different to the preceding wars between France and England which were more territorial in nature. While both France and America learned how to live without a monarchy, Great Britain's republican experiment died with Oliver Cromwell, leading to the restoration of King Charles II and a constitutional monarchy. While Napoleon Bonaparte was one of great Generals of his age, his lack of understanding of Naval warfare placed him at a severe disadvantage, as his relationship with Admiral Villeneuve showed, and, may also of contributed to the performance of the French Navy during the Napoleonic era, neither would he be the last national leader to find himself in that position. It should also be remembered that around the same time the still new United States Navy adopted meritocracy in their Officer Corps, that a common man could command troops/sailors effectively without privilege or wealth (although patronage was still an element, backing from a Governor or Senator for scholarships was a requirement at West Point in it's early days, ironically, two of West Point's worst students went on to world wide fame, U.S. Grant became President and G.A. Custer became the youngest General in the Union Army) was an untried concept that sent shock waves throughout the old world.
White paint on Swedish ships in winters ?
Sir Lancelot Holland replied to LeBoiteux's topic in HistoryStrangely the Royal Navy tended to do the reverse, when Grey's were introduced, and, even as late as WWII, Light Admiralty grey was used in the Mediterranean Sea and Dark Admiralty grey in the North Atlantic Ocean, there was also a Buff/White scheme in the Pacific Ocean and South China Sea for a while which may of had more to do with reflecting heat than camouflage, Grey was adopted in times of war, the Camouflage Schemes for WWI and WWII were more to break up outlines than for concealment, however, neither Prince of Wales's nor Repulse's camouflage prevented their sinking by Japanese Navy/Army Air Forces. Certainly visually spotting a Light Grey ship in fog is very difficult unless at very short ranges, it is probable that the RN now use a Light to Medium grey rather than the older Dark Grey, as the Dark grey may have been easier to see in fog due to tonal contrast. It is certain though that ship colours, especially in the RN were more to do with expense in the 18th century, dull colours like Black and dark blue were cheaper than White or Yellow, Nelson's choice of a Light Pink for his original checkerboard pattern may very well have been due to the expense of Yellow paint in that period and the fact that Captain's paid for the upkeep of their commands, they would generally purchase whatever colour was cheapest in a given location, (although Pellew could definitely afford more elaborate paints having earned in excess of £2 million in prize money) it may also be likely that the pigments for Blues Reds and Yellows may have been cheaper and more readily available in Continental Europe and the Continental Americas than in Great Britain, which, may also explain why Trincomalee and other Indian built ships were Black and White.
Ship Names
Sir Lancelot Holland replied to mikawa's topic in SuggestionsA considerable amount of thought goes into the name of any ship, generally it is what the owner wishes to say about their ship. Naval ships tend to fall into categories, names that reflect power or traits, like Indefatigueable, or, Terror, famous people like Tromp, Jean d'Arc or Nelson the USN have even had a USS Sir Winston Churchill, it is a rarity for any nation to honour foreign leaders in this way, Classic names from ancient Greece and Rome like Dido, Andromeda and Leander, Mars, Neptune, the Royal Navy even had an entire class of Corvettes named for flowers! Often nations share names too Concord/ Concorde, the lists are long and distinguished with battle honours that date back centuries, giving character and a sense of pride in the ship. a ships name is important, they often inspire affectionate nicknames like Anteelopee for Antelope or Cherry'B' for Charybdis or national pride like Hood, Ark Royal, Enterprise, or, Foch and Clemenceau. The big question is really not can it be done, it can, but would there be sufficient space for such a database, and of course the names themselves.
DLC Issue: Paint shop
Sir Lancelot Holland replied to Donjuan Dimarco's topic in Patch Feedback and General discussionsThere is of course always the option of contracting for a ship to be crafted, there are players who enjoy crafting ships around who I am certain would be happy devoting some of their time to crafting bespoke ships for other players. It may well be that crafting may have to be looked at again to create a better environment for Crafter's, almost certainly the eco would have to be reviewed as well. In real life Harland and Wolfe built some of the most famous ships in maritime history, for the White Star Line they even built at cost price + 10% which was in the early 1900's a very good deal without which the somewhat ill-fated Olympic class passenger liners would never have been built, so with a little integrity even 1st rates would not be prohibitively expensive, but, still conceivably, rare enough to maintain a good ratio between ships of the line and lower rated ships, yet, permit discretion by owners of the most powerful ships in their usage. The greatest advantage of course to cost+ building is that the crafter is guaranteed some profit for his/her labour, and, the consumer gets what he/she wants at an affordable price known in advance. There is, I think always a risk that some items will not be used, and, that is true of both the flag and paint DLC's , due to personal preferences, and justification for purchase, or not, is very much individual choice, in that regard neither choice is wrong.

Grandma's PC, Revisited
My apologies. I apologize for not having been more aware of the needs of seniors and for blithely assuming that anyone could use a PC these days, thinking that usability had actually gotten better.
In my February 20 column, I described my mother-in-law's travails with the PC we'd given her for Christmas and the way the scales fell from my eyes.
I now understand that most of the computer industry and many users are guilty of subtle-and sometimes blatant-age discrimination. The letters convinced me.
Some people who wrote in were glad to find out they weren't the only ones who had difficulty introducing PC technology to an elderly loved one, and others were sympathetic to my mother-in-law's plight. Some folks excoriated me for not selecting the appropriate technology or for not providing the right kind of training, and others had concrete suggestions for greater success. Some of the letters were poignant; some were downright angry.
Let me try to summarize the most useful advice I received, so that all those who anticipate having to confront the "usability for seniors" issue can benefit.
Senior Setbacks
First, and fully expected, were the alternative platform letters. "Buy an iMac," they wrote-and none too gently. A few writers suggested clearly that physical harm should come to me for having selected a Wintel machine.
Interestingly, several other writers indicated that they tried to set up Macintoshes for their parents or grandparents yet experienced the exact same problems. One person said that getting through the Mac on-screen tutorial took his mother several evenings, because the idea of clicking on the Next Page arrow was beyond her experience.
A second group of letters indicated that I should have deleted everything but the AOL icon. But an equal number said that AOL was no better than anything else. Several agreed, however, that my choice of MSN was probably not the best because of its crowded, ugly home page.
One letter-from Grace Thomas, who says she's older than my mother-in-law-was unsparingly specific: "I could not believe you would set up that sweet old lady with such crap equipment and expect her to be able to run it. First off, the 14-inch monitor from your basement is unreal!-and only 64MB of memory? You cannot run even Windows 98 on that little amount of memory. At least give her 128MB. This is the 21st century. Shame on you"
Many readers suggested that a trackball was much better than a mouse for old, arthritic hands, as the trackball separates pointing from clicking and largely eliminates problems such as accidentally selecting and dragging things.
Closing Windows
I've now learned (and readers have confirmed) that multitasking and multiple windows hold no charms for this audience; they want to do one thing at a time and want one easy way to do it. Flexibility is a confusing curse. Some people are trying to help. Community colleges, SeniorNet, and other organizations conduct training-much of it oriented toward and given by seniors.
Windows itself remains the greatest obstacle. Maximized windows can't be dragged accidentally, but so many other things can. The letters contained a litany of weird menus, oddball settings, threatening error messages, and changed parameters that stopped their users cold.
The solutions readers offered were often simple, and the situations would have been humorous if they hadn't been so frightening to senior users. This generation has great respect for expensive technological things, yet it generally doesn't understand that you can't "break" a computer by trying something new.
That said, Windows sorely needs a "software reset" that puts it and all of its applications back to a known, predetermined state without affecting data files. This would be the ultimate undo key and could save countless hours of rebuilding. But it would be vastly better if Windows didn't have such a vast profusion of utterly useless options. Perhaps some of the software that schools use to lock down configurations could be beneficial here.
Meanwhile, grandma is making slow, steady progress with e-mail. We're going to get her a trackball, and she's contemplating a computer station instead of her old desk for better ergonomics and to accommodate a bigger screen. And I'm laying awake nights wondering what revolutionary new technology our kids will try to cram down our throats.

Underwater disorientation as induced by two helicopter ditching devices

- Abstract
- Spatial orientation is based on the integration of concordant and redundant information from the visual, vestibular, and somatosensory systems. When a person is submerged underwater, somatosensory cues are reduced, and vestibular cues are ambiguous with respect to upright or inverted position. Visual cues may be lost as a result of reduced ambient light. Underwater disorientation has been cited as one of the major factors that could inhibit emergency egress after a helicopter ditching into water. One countermeasure to familiarize aircrew with underwater disorientation is emergency egress training. This study examined the relative degree of underwater disorientation induced by the Modular Egress Training Simulator (METS (TRADEMARK)) and the Shallow Water Egress Trainer (SWET). There were 36 healthy subjects (28 males and 8 females) who participated in the study. Underwater disorientation was quantified by measuring the deviation of subjective vertical-pointing from the gravitational vertical, time to egress, and subjective reports of disorientation and ease of egress. A repeated measure design was employed with seat position (SWET chair, METS (TRADEMARK) window, and METS (TRADEMARK) aisle) as the sole factor. Subjective response data indicated that the degree of disorientation is rated significantly higher, and the ease of egress is rated worse from the two METS (TRADEMARK) seat positions than from the SWET.

S.W.: What made you want to go into the marvelous field of architecture?
V.L.: I have been interested in architecture since I was really young. I liked thedifferent styles of art and architecture in places of the world I traveled to that I gotto view. While I was visiting Italy I saw the style of Baroque art which I reallyliked. It really caught my eye and I found it very fascinating. I attended aninstitute of architecture and received and education in the field and focused on it alot.(185 Architecture In France In The 18th Century). I studied the Baroque style of art as well as the neoclassical style whichwas renowned in my native home France by society. I went to the institute when Iwas an adult to build my skills and create better works. It was really beneficialand important for me to be successful because you have to be good at your careeryo make a living in the world. It is good that I attended that institute because itenriched my skills that I need to do well in my career for the rest of my life.(Britannica.com).
S.W.: How did other people in the field of architecture help you to become betterat your career?
V.L.: The instructors at the architecture institute I attended really helped to feedme the knowledge that is essential to my success. I became a better designer and abetter constructor throughout my years of education. I was exposed to differentstyles of art and architecture as I worked with people on designing andconstructing. It made me more experienced not only in the field but also in mywork. I received help by working with fellow architects and instructors.(185Architecture In France In The 18th Century). I benefited from learning about many different styles of architecture.When working with my fellow architects on design plans for buildings, the priorknowledge I had helped me to decide how to design buildings to look like. It gaveus ideas on which style we were to base the designs of buildings off of. I becamemore adapt and used to the styles that influenced my work.(185 Architecture InFrance In The 18th Century).
S.W.: What was the main style of art during the time of your contributions?
V.L.: I was born around the time of the Renaissance in France, when new artisticideas and styles were emerging. Citizens would promote their artistic stylesduring the Enlightenment along with political, social, and religious views. A lot ofthe buildings that were designed and constructed were based off of the new stylesof art, just like new philosophies and works of literature were influential to peoplein the world. A lot of my work is based off of the style of Louis the XIV, who'sstyle majorly influenced France around the time that he reigned. His style filledthe area where I lived and worked in France.( 454, Architecture of TheRenaissance In France, Britannica.com). Also, due to the wars, riots, hard times, and the Revolution, there was ashortage of money, which was being spent on the Revolution. Unemployment washigh, along with the death rate, disease spread because there has not been propersanitation, people are starving, and are without essential clothing for the weather.Artists can't just go out in the world and do their work without the tools they need.That has been a problem due to the economy. Artists have to be aware of theexpenses of the materials they need for their work. And their are always going tobe critiques with their opinions on your art. Those are effects that society and theeconomy had on my work.(Britannica.com).
S.W.: What are some of your magnificent works that you are known for?

I designed a lot of buildings that national and foreign leaders wished to beconstructed. When I was called to work with people on architecture I went rightwith the chance. I gained more knowledge on architecture that way and learnedmore about what I was doing. When there was a certain style of building that wasdesired to be constructed, I knew what to do and how to make it happen. Mycareer has been a great experience in my life.(185, Architecture In France In The18th Century).
S.W.: I can see why it was so exciting for you. What did you decide to do tobecome a better architect?
V.L.: I focused hard on my work. I put more effort into it and and tried harder atthings I wasn't successful at. I worked hard and took my work seriously. I vieweddifferent types of architecture to get a sense of what styles that I am good at. Ofcourse, a lot of the styles of art in France is influenced by Louis the XIV, so that'swhat many of the citizens are familiar with. (454, Architecture of TheRenaissance In France, 185, Architecture In France In The 18th Century). I feel that an important thing is that I never gave up. Some of my work wasnot seen as marvelous, and I needed to work on how I could make it better.Creating work for foreign and national leaders made me more advanced in mycareer. Working with leaders opened me up to the many ways buildings can bestyled. It gives you a broader range of ideas to choose from when designing.(185,Architecture In France In The 18th Century).
S.W.: What did you have to grow out of to be able to get to where you are now?
V.L.: When I was younger, I was really hostile towards people. I didn't show alot of positivity towards the people I worked with. That was my bad habit, and Iam not completely rid of it. I finally realized that in order to be successful in theworld, you can't talk to people like they're dogs. You have to show respect. People are more likely to praise you on your contributions to society if youare good-tempered. Personality is something I have to work on. A goodpersonality is essential to any career. People will be more likely to want to workwith you are hire you if you are disarming whether than if you are frank. It is justsomething you have to get over if you want to get anywhere in your life.(185,Architecture In France In The late 18th Century),
S.W.: What are some obstacles that you struggled with throughout your career?
V.L.: I wasn't always successful in the field of architecture, and I wasn't alwaysseen as a successful architect. Sometimes I would design and construct a buildingand I would here that it was a poor work of architecture. There is a lot of pressureon people in certain careers to be excellent and outstanding, but that is not reality.People have flaws. We have limits to how well we can do things. I never wanted to give up on my career as an architect because I love it so. Ijust stuck right with it. It's perseverance. I can not imagine having a differentcareer. We all have our strengths and weaknesses in the things that we do in life.(454, Architecture of The Renaissance In France).
S.W.: What would tell how you became better and better at designing andbuilding throughout your career?
V.L.: It all goes back to working leaders and other architects on designingbuildings. I was exposed to more and more styles of architecture through the timeof the Renaissance in France. I have learned and will continue to learn more aboutarchitecture through that. worked on art for the king of Poland. It is important tobe good at what you are creating and presenting to famous people. Of course myeducation in architecture contributes to my success. I became advanced indesigning, which is a crucial skill to be able to be an architect.(Cohen,jstor.org). I feel that creating art for foreign and national leaders has made merenowned in France and other parts of the world. If my work for them turns outgood, People will start to wonder who made it and what inspired them to create itto be in the style it is. Then, if more people like my work and want to own a pieceof art by me, I can design and create it to be of the style that they desire. I reallyappreciate people's positive sayings on my work. It motivates me.(185,Architecture In France In The 18th Century).
