Фрэнсис Марион Кроуфорд (; ранее была принята транслитерация Крафорд; 2 августа 1854, Баньи-ди-Лукка, Тоскана — 9 апреля 1909, Сорренто, Кампания) — плодовитый американский беллетрист, сын скульптора Томаса Кроуфорда. Племянник Джулии Уорд Хау, автора «Боевого гимна Республики».

Биография
Родился в Италии, воспитывался в Англии и много лет жил безвыездно в Риме.
Марион окончил школу Св. Павла, в Нью-Гэмпшире, северо-восток Соединенных Штатов. После чего продолжил своё обучение в Гарварде, затем в Кембридже, Гейдельберге и Риме. Заинтересовавшись санскритом, он отправился в Индию, где занимался редакцией «The Indian Herald» в Аллахабаде. Но вскоре Кроуфорд вернулся в Америку, где в течение года продолжил занятия санскритом, с профессором Гарварда Ланманом. К тому же времени относится написание его первого романа «Г-н Айзек: История современной Индии» (Mr. Isaacs: A Tale of Modern India), опубликованного в 1882 году. Это издание очень быстро стало популярным, и за ним последовали новые работы. Пребывание в Индии благотворно сказалось на творчестве писателя. Вернувшись в Италию в 1883. В октябре следующего года он женился на мисс Бердан, дочери прусского графа. После чего, большую часть жизни Марион провел в Сорренто.

Литературная деятельность
Из его романов в своё время пользовались известностью «Zoroaster», «Mr. Isaac», «Dr. Claudius», «A roman Singer», «Marzio's Crucifix», «Paul Patoff», «With the immortals».

Мери Кроуфорд внимательно следила за началом карьеры младшего брата, этот период нашел отражение в её автобиографичной книге «Воспоминания жены дипломата; Дальнейшие воспоминания жены дипломата в разных странах» (Reminiscences of a diplomatist's wife; further reminiscences of a diplomatist's wife in many lands. 1912). Марион зачитывал главы своих книг близким и знакомым. Мери очень нравилось слушать его голос, она характеризует его как «глубокий и чистый, сбалансированные фразы такие звучные и сдержанные».

По мнению ЭСБЕ, автору свойственно уменье художественно изображать красоты природы и рамки жизни вообще, но характеры его вполне условны, события лишены правдоподобности, искусственная мораль вредит психологической правде.

The Fairchild VZ-5 (or Model M-224-1) was an experimental VTOL aircraft but in the 1950s. The VZ-5 was designed by Fairchild Aircraft for research use by the United States Army.

Development
The VZ-5 prototype was built as part of a series of experimental aircraft designed to study various designs for VTOL aircraft and solve problems related to vertical and short takeoff. The VZ-5 was an all-metal high-wing monoplane with a fixed tricycle undercarriage. The fuselage had an open cockpit for one pilot and a rear-mounted high-tailplane. The unusual aspect of the aircraft was that it had one General Electric turboshaft in the rear fuselage driving four propellers, two each mounted in nacelles on the leading edge of each wing. It also had two small four-bladed tail-rotors mounted above the tailplane for control. The wing had conventional trailing edge flaps and ailerons but it also had a section of the wing that could be deflected to act as a full-span flap. For a vertical takeoff two-thirds of the wing chord acted as a flap in the slipstream of the four propellers.

The VZ-5 was first flown tethered on 18 November 1959 but only had limited testing before the project was abandoned.

Дело Кицмиллер против школьного округа Довер () — первый судебный процесс, вопросом которого было соответствие преподавания концепции «Разумного замысла» политике государственных школ США. В октябре 2004 года школьный округ района Довер, включающий боро Довер и тауншипы Довер и Вашингтон, изменил учебные планы по биологии, введя в них концепцию «Разумного замысла» как альтернативу теории эволюции, с использованием книги «» в качестве справочника. Основными аргументами истцов было то, что «Разумный замысел» является одной из форм креационизма и, следовательно, его преподавание в школах является нарушением  Первой поправки к Конституции США.

11 родителей учащихся боро Довер (округ Йорк, Пенсильвания) предъявили иск к управляющему Совету школьного округа по поводу заявления о том, что «Разумный замысел» является «представлением о происхождении жизни, отличающимся от взглядов Дарвина» и должен преподаваться в рамках научных курсов в классах девятого года обучения. Истцы были представлены Американским союзом защиты гражданских свобод,  и юридической фирмой . Консультировал истцов Национальный центр научного образования. Ответчиков представлял . Издатель книги «Of Pandas and People»  пытался присоединиться к процессу в качестве ответчика, однако это присоединение было по нескольким причинам отклонено.

В декабре 2005 года судья Джон Джонс принял решение, что постановление Совета школьного округа района Довер является неконституционным, таким образом требование истцов было удовлетворено. Суд пришёл к заключению, что «Разумный замысел» не является научной теорией и запретил руководству школьного округа «требовать от учителей клеветать или недооценивать научную теорию эволюции и ссылаться на религиозную альтернативную теорию, известную как Разумный замысел».

«Мы заключаем, что ID [intelligent design, то есть разумный замысел] не относится к сфере науки и не может быть признан подлинной и авторитетной научной теорией, поскольку он не опубликован в рецензируемых журналах, не задействован в исследованиях и проверках, а также не принят в научном сообществе. Основания ID, как было отмечено, лежат в богословии, а не в науке. <…> Кроме того, сторонники ID стремятся избегать научной критики, которой, как мы теперь установили, он не может выдержать даже в том случае, если его сторонники настаивают на изучении на уроках научных дисциплин существующих разногласий, а не самого ID. Подобная тактика предполагает в лучшем случае неискренность, а в худшем — откровенную ложь. Цель, преследуемая IDM [intelligent design movement, то есть движением разумного замысла], состоит не в том, чтобы поощрить критическое мышление, а в том, чтобы спровоцировать идейный переворот и подменить эволюционную теорию концепцией ID».

В ноябре 2005 года восемь из девяти членов школьного совета проиграли выборы противникам преподавания концепции разумного замысла как научной. (Девятый член совета не переизбирался.) Впоследствии новый председатель совета заявил, что совет не намерен обжаловать решение суда.

Le Disney Magic est un navire de croisière de la Disney Cruise Line, opérateur de croisière de la Walt Disney Company.

C'est le premier bâtiment construit dans le chantier naval de Fincantieri de Marghera (Italie) pour Disney. Il est immatriculé aux Bahamas. C'est un bateau de type « paquebot ». Sa silhouette rappelle celle des transatlantiques. Disney l'utilise pour des croisières principalement entre Port Canaveral et les îles des Caraïbes dont Castaway Cay (l'île privée de Disney), Nassau et Saint-Martin et depuis 2005, il effectue des croisières exceptionnelles durant la saison estivale, testant de nouveaux itinéraires : côte pacifique du Mexique, Alaska, Méditerranée, Mer du Nord et Baltique

Le , Disney Cruise Line annonce une rénovation complète du bateau dont l'ajout d'un toboggan suspendu. Le bateau est en travaux du 10 septembre au 7 octobre 2013 à Cadix en Espagne.

Les croisières

Ce navire est spécialisé pour Disney dans les croisières de 7 jours dans les Caraïbes et les croisières exceptionnelles : voir itinéraires de Disney Cruise Line.

En 2005 le Disney Magic a proposé une série de croisières dans le Pacifique entre Los Angeles (port de Long Beach) et les côtes mexicaines de la péninsule de Californie, pour le  de Disneyland.

En 2007 le Disney Magic offre plusieurs séries de croisières de 10 à 11 jours dans la Méditerranée (au départ de Barcelone). L'itinéraire commence par une journée de mer pour rejoindre Palerme puis remonte le côte italienne avec des escales à Naples, Olbia (Sardaigne), Civitavecchia (au niveau de Rome), La Spezia, suivie sur la côte française de Marseille et Villefranche-sur-Mer. Après une nouvelle journée de mer le bateau rejoindra Barcelone
À cette occasion il y a une croisière transatlantique aller de 14 jours de Port Canaveral jusqu'à Barcelone qui sera suivie quelques semaines plus tard par la croisière retour. Ces croisières doivent être de nouveau organisées durant l'été 2009.

En 2008, le Disney Magic a proposé un itinéraire dans le Pacifique à partir de Los Angeles pour les ports de Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlán et Puerto Vallarta. 12 croisières sont prévues entre le 25 mai et le 10 août.

En 2010, le Disney Magic effectue un retour en Europe pendant tout l'été avec de nouvelles croisières en Méditerranée et pour la première fois dans l'Atlantique Nord avec des escales inédites comme Copenhague, Stockholm, Helsinki, Tallinn et Saint-Pétersbourg. Une escale à Cherbourg, est prévue le 31 juillet 2010.

À nouveau, à l'été 2013 et 2014 des croisières sont organisées en méditerranée pour 4,7 ou 12 jours le long des cotes de France, d'Espagne et d'Italie.

À l'automne 2018, le Disney Magic effectue une première croisière sur le St-Laurent et jette notamment l'ancre pour la toute première fois à Québec entre les 26 et 28 septembre.

La proue possède un blason avec Mickey dans Steamboat Willie.
La poupe possède une statue de Dingo (Goofy) sur un échafaudage en train de peindre.
L'intérieur du Disney Magic est inspiré par le mouvement art déco, caractérisé par des formes effilées, des lines forms, des lignes droites bien marquées et une légère présence de technologie moderne.
La statue dans le lobby, baptisée Helmsman Mickey, représente un Mickey Mouse en habit de marin sous la pluie à la barre d'un bateau.
La seconde cheminée, située à l'avant est factice et ne sert qu'à l'esthétique générale du bateau afin de le faire ressembler aux anciens transatlantiques.
Le bateau comporte aussi deux ponts pour l'équipage nommé A et B qui sont situés sous le premier pont des passagers.
Le prix estimé du bateau est de .

À bord
(Les deux bateaux Disney Wonder et Disney Magic étant quasiment identiques, leurs descriptions en sont donc très semblables. Voir à bord du « Disney Wonder».)

Le bateau peut se découper en quatre sections séparées par les trois cages d'ascenseurs :
la proue, l'ascenseur avant, une section avant, l'ascenseur central (midship), l'ascenseur arrière, la poupe.

Nous parlerons ici d'ascenseur mais le bateau en possède quatre pour chaque cage d'ascenseurs. De plus chaque cage d'ascenseurs est doublée d'autant de cages d'escalier. Nous découperons la suite de l'article par pont. La table ci-dessous indique les principaux aménagements disponibles.

Pont 1
À ce niveau se trouve le centre médical du bateau (situé à l'avant) et les accès aux portes de débarquement par les tenders boats d'où le nom de Tender Lobby donné aux espaces autour des ascenseurs avant et arrière.

Quelques cabines pour les passagers se trouvent ici mais ce sont surtout des cabines pour l'équipage haut gradé.

Pont 2
Ce pont est réservé aux cabines des passagers. Des espaces de réunion existent sur le bateau au niveau de l'ascenseur central.

Pont 3
Ce pont comprend les restaurants et une zone de divertissements nocturne, située à l'avant du bateau.

Il accueille surtout l'atrium principal du bateau appelé Lobby Atrium au niveau des ascenseurs midship. Il occupe trois ponts au milieu du bateau. Deux balcons le surplombent aux ponts supérieurs. Deux escaliers se rejoignent au niveau du balcon au pont 4, derrière la statue de Mickey. Les magnifiques cages d'ascenseurs en verre et fer forgé sont l'œuvre de Dave Chilhuly, un verrier.

Dans l'atrium côté proue, deux comptoirs permettent aux visiteurs de faire les démarches qu'ils souhaitent.
Le Guest Services Desk à gauche (bâbord) est le comptoir principal dont le service du téléphone
Le Shore Excursion Desk à droite (tribord) est le comptoir pour les activités à l'extérieur du bateau.

Lumière's est le grand restaurant du bateau. L'entrée est située sous le balcon de l'atrium. Le nom vient du personnage chandelier-maître d'hôtel de La Belle et la Bête. Ainsi le décor et le menu sont inspirés des restaurants français et des paquebots des années 1920-1930. Le style art déco utilise ici un motif de rose emprunté au dessin animé.

Beat Street regroupe autour d'une fausse rue le long des ascenseurs avant, plusieurs éléments de la vie nocturne. Un couloir partant d'entre les ascenseurs midship de l'atrium et contournant la discothèque par bâbord permet de rejoindre la zone :
Rockin' Bar D est une discothèque-café concert en arc de cercle autour d'une scène avec une piste de danse devant. Le bar est à tribord à côté de l'entrée. Elle propose des tubes du moment ou des spectacles de cabaret.
Situé à bâbord Sessions est un bar rappelant les années 1930 avec des sofas, des juke-boxes et certains soirs des prestations au piano.
Diversions est un pub sur le sport avec des écrans plasma diffusant ESPN.
Il remplace la discothèque Off Beat et propose un « service » comparable au défunt ESPN Sky Box qui était situé au pont 11.
Up Beat est une boutique située à l'entrée de la discothèque qui propose des cigares, des alcools et des confiseries.

Un couloir longe à bâbord le restaurant Lumière's. Après un escalier supplémentaire menant au pont 4, le café Promenade Lounge permet de se détendre et de se rafraîchir. Un espace a été aménagé dans le fond du café pour devenir un Internet Cafe. Juste après se trouvent les ascenseurs arrières.

Le couloir bâbord se prolonge jusqu'au restaurant Parrot Cay qui occupe une partie de la poupe. C'est un buffet qui propose des spécialités des Antilles dans un décor très coloré.

Pour ceux qui en auraient besoin des toilettes se trouvent à gauche des ascenseurs avant (dans Beat Street) et arrière. Et pour information la scène et la partie inférieure des fauteuils du Walt Disney Theatre du pont 4 occupent une partie de la proue derrière les murs de Diversions et Sessions.

Pont 4
C'est un autre pont destiné aux loisirs et à la restauration.

La majeure partie de la poupe est occupé par le Walt Disney Theatre (ainsi que le pont 3 et le pont 5). C'est une salle de spectacle de  places, dont 975 permanentes, pour des productions Disney de type Broadway (comédies musicales). L'intérieur du théâtre est très raffiné avec des boiseries, des fauteuils en bois et tissus aux motifs art déco.
Aux deux entrées du théâtre, à bâbord et tribord, des toilettes proposent leurs « services » aux visiteurs.

Sous les escaliers menant au Walt Disney Theatre, la boutique Préludes propose des en-cas pour les spectateurs.

Deux boutiques occupent l'espace séparant le Walt Disney Theatre de l'étage de l'atrium.
À bâbord, Mickey's Mates est une boutique Disney dans un décor de galion. Des peluches, vêtements et accessoires Disney Cruise Line feront le bonheur des acheteurs en quête d'idée de cadeaux.
À tribord, Treasure Ketch est une boutique détaxée d'objets de luxe (montres, pierres précieuses et bijoux ainsi que des articles Disney de collections. Toutefois des vêtements de bain ou de style tropical sont aussi disponibles.

Le balcon de l'atrium s'ouvre sur le pont 3, accessible par deux escaliers, avec une vue sur les magnifiques cages d'ascenseurs en verre et fer forgé.

Ross Alexander (born Alexander Ross Smith; July 27, 1907 – January 2, 1937) was an American stage and film actor.

Early years
Alexander was born Alexander Ross Smith in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Maud Adelle ( Cohen) and Alexander Ross Smith. His maternal great-grandfather Morris Cohen was a Polish Jewish immigrant. His father was a leather merchant.

Ross Alexander was born and raised in Brooklyn until his high school years. He attended Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn for a while until he and his family moved to upstate Rochester, New York. He attended high school there, but he dropped out before graduating.

When he was 17, he went to New York City and studied acting at the Packard Theatrical Agency.

Stage
Alexander began his acting career with the Henry Jewett Players in Boston, debuting in Enter Madame. By 1926, he was regarded as a promising leading man with good looks and an easy and charming style and began appearing in more substantial roles.

His Broadway credits include The Party's Over (1932), Honeymoon (1932), The Stork Is Dead (1932), After Tomorrow (1931), That's Gratitude (1930), Let Us Be Gay (1928), The Ladder (1926), and Enter Madame (1920).

Film

Alexander was signed to a film contract by Paramount Pictures, and his film debut in The Wiser Sex (1932) was not a success, and so he returned to Broadway. In 1934, he was signed to another studio contract, this time by Warner Bros. His bigger successes from this period were Flirtation Walk (1934), A Midsummer Night's Dream and Captain Blood (both 1935).

In 1936, he starred in Hot Money. It was a defining role in his persona as a glamorous, well-dressed and dapper leading man, not in the usual Warner gangster mold of rough-hewn stars such as Edward G. Robinson or Paul Muni.

His final film Ready, Willing and Able, a Ruby Keeler musical, was released posthumously. Supposedly Ronald Reagan was signed by the studio as a replacement for Alexander due to remarked similarities in their radio voices and mannerisms.

Personal life
Alexander married actress Aleta Freel on February 28, 1934, in East Orange, New Jersey. Freel committed suicide on December 7, 1935, shooting herself in the head with a .22 rifle. On September 17, 1936, Alexander married actress Anne Nagel, with whom he had appeared in the films China Clipper and Here Comes Carter (both 1936).

Death
On January 2, 1937, three months after marrying Nagel, with his professional and personal life in disarray and deeply in debt, Alexander shot himself in the head in the barn behind his home. Although it has been reported that Alexander used the same gun with which his first wife Aleta Freel killed herself, he actually shot himself with a .22 pistol (not a rifle). He is buried in lot 292 of the Sunrise Slope section of Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, California.

Die Fachklinik Eußerthal – teilweise alternativ Sanatorium Eußerthal genannt – ist eine Klinik zur Rehabilitation Abhängigkeitskranker. Sie liegt unweit des Ortes Eußerthal in Rheinland-Pfalz. Ihr Träger ist die Deutsche Rentenversicherung Rheinland-Pfalz.

Geschichte

Der 1897 gegründete "Verein für Volksheilstätten in der Pfalz" machte es sich zum Ziel, eine Volksheilstätte zur Bekämpfung der Tuberkulose zu errichten und wurde dabei durch die Versicherungsanstalt für die Pfalz in Speyer als Darlehensgeber unterstützt. Die 1901 begonnenen Baumaßnahmen waren 1905 als "Heilstätte Ramberg" fertiggestellt. 1908 übernahm die Versicherungsanstalt für die Pfalz die Heilstätte. Es folgten Ausbau- und Erneuerungsmaßnahmen: 1926 das Ärztewohnhaus, 1927/28 eine Kapelle, 1928 die Liegehalle für die Frauenabteilung und 1929 die Liegehalle für Männer. 1929 kam das Pförtnerhaus und 1936 ein Doppelhaus für das Klinikpersonal hinzu. Gesunde Lebensmittel erzeugte die Klinik Eußerthal im eigenen Gut Rothenhof am Fuße des Trifels. Der 1925 erworbene Landwirtschaftsbetrieb wurde bis 1958 von der Klinik genutzt und danach veräußert.

Auch nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg gab es eine hohe Rate an Tuberkulose-Erkrankungen, daher folgte 1956 eine Erweiterung durch einen Anbau. Von 1957 bis 1959 erfolgten auch im  historischen Gebäude Modernisierungen. Wegen des Rückgangs der Tuberkulose kam es in den 1970er Jahren zu einer Neuausrichtung. Die Klinik wurde ab 1978 in eine Fachklinik für Alkohol- und Medikamentenabhängige umgewandelt. Im August 1980 verließen die letzten wegen Lungentuberkulose behandelten Patienten die Klinik. Bis 1983 folgten weitere Umbauarbeiten.

Ein Großbrand in der Nacht auf den 1. Juli 2008 führte zu starken Beschädigungen des historischen Gebäudeteils. Bis Ende 2010 wurde er wieder hergestellt. Den Abschluss der Sanierungsarbeiten bildete das zwischen 2014 und 2016 errichtete Ersatzgebäude für das aus den 1950er Jahren stammende Bettenhaus.

Architektur

Markant sind am historischen Gebäudeteil Sockel, Eckausbildung, Fensterlaibungen, Voluten, Wappenkartuschen und neobarocke Schmuckelemente am Giebel. Sie wurden aus vor Ort gebrochenem Sandstein gearbeitet und sind typische Elemente der Architektur des Historismus. Architekten waren Heinrich Jester aus Speyer für den Ursprungsbau und Pauljosef Gilgenberg für die Baumaßnahmen der 1950er Jahre.

Das Ersatzgebäude aus Stahlbeton interpretiert die Stilelemente der historistischen Architektur durch sandsteinfarbene Faserzementplatten als horizontale Bänder im Erdgeschoss. Planung und Ausführung übernahm die Deutsche Rentenversicherung Rheinland-Pfalz in Eigenregie.

Die  Altbauten stehen unter Denkmalschutz.

Namen

Aus dem ursprünglichen Namen "Pfälzische Heilstätte Ramberg" wurde 1980 die Fachklinik Eußerthal. Damit wurde der Tatsache Rechnung getragen, dass sich die Institution auf der Gemarkung von Eußerthal befindet und nicht wie der vorher benutzte Name suggeriert, auf derjenigen von Ramberg. Teilweise war ebenso der Name "Heilstätte Trifels" gebräuchlich.

Behandlungsspektrum
In der Fachklinik Eußerthal können Patienten ab 18 Jahren mit folgenden Abhängigkeitserkrankungen behandelt werden:
 Alkoholabhängigkeit
 Medikamentenabhängigkeit
 Pathologisches Glücksspiel
 Pathologischer PC- und Internetgebrauch

Begleitend werden psychische und somatische Erkrankungen mitbehandelt. Hinzu kommen Angebote zur sozialen und beruflichen Integration. Die Behandlung erfolgt stationär und unter bestimmten Bedingungen ganztägig ambulant.

Gille-Glace var en svensk glasstillverkare i Nacka. Företaget, Gille-Glace AB, startade som ett dotterbolag till AB Nordiska Margarinfabriken, troligen 1947.

Ett avtal om teknisk samverkan mellan Nordiska Margarinfabriken, dotterbolaget Gille-Glace och den engelska glasstillverkaren Walls tecknades vid årsskiftet 1960/1961. I september 1961 knöts Gille-Glace till Unilever, varvid en omorganisation genomfördes.

År 1962 köpte Unilever även konkurrenten Trollhätteglass. Vid årsskiftet 1963/1964 slogs företagen ihop under namnet Trollhätteglass, men huvudkontoret förlades namnet till trots till Nacka. År 1968 lades tillverkningen i Trollhättan ner och koncentrerades till Gille Glass tidigare fabrik i Nacka.

Vid årsskiftet 1972–1973 fusionerades Trollhätteglass med Glace-Bolaget (GB Glace). GB fortsatte tillverka glass i Nacka fram till år 1988.

is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tooru Fujisawa, the creator of Great Teacher Onizuka. It was serialized in Kodansha's Afternoon in 2003 and collected into 3 tankōbon volumes.

An anime television series adaptation animated by AIC Spirits and Group TAC first aired in Japan on April 15, 2006 and ran for 13 episodes. The manga was licensed in North America by Tokyopop, who released the first volume on July 15, 2008. The anime was licensed in the United States and United Kingdom by Manga Entertainment, with its first DVD released on March 20, 2007, and in Australasia by Madman Entertainment. In the US, Sci Fi (now Syfy) aired Tokko in 2007, in 2010 it aired on Chiller.

Synopsis
Officially known to the general public as Special Mobile Investigation Forces Section 2; Special Public Safety Task Force, or Tokko under the supervision of the Public Security Intelligence Agency after the Special Mobile Investigation Troops relinquished, with some of its members recruited from the police force. It was established after the Machida massacre was secretly investigated to discover that the perpetrators were demons, called Phantoms, from the netherworld, able to cross into reality when the "Box of Dirge" (or "Druj", as the DVD English subtitles say) was broken, with each of the 108 pieces being taken by a powerful Phantom. Under the command of Superintendent Ryoko Ibuki, she recruited members, who, as survivors of the Machida massacre, have Phantoms inside them that when "awakened", grant the superhuman speed and the ability to materialize swords. They use swords to dispatch the Phantoms and their lesser human faced larva parasites, that come into the world through the giant holes caused by unnatural earthquakes in Japan's Kanto region, since most firearms do not incapacitate or kill them. Their actions have come under harsh criticism from other officers for conducting their operations in secretive manners and for covering up the deaths of either civilians or police officers, informing the public via news releases that deaths or injuries caused by demons were done by armed or insane criminals.

All members of Section 2 bear a tattoo (except for Ibuki who is not a symbiont). This is their "symbiont tattoo", which marks them as carriers of a "phantom", one of the 108 demons. Not all of the symbionts are with Section 2. A symbiont may be good or evil, but the spirit's alignment is unknown until it is awakened within the host. This phantom also imparts a type of protection, for example allowing Sakura to walk away unscathed from a car accident as a child. Only symbionts have the strength, speed and endurance to kill the demons with bladed weapons. Using the symbionts, Section 2 hunts down the other Phantoms, dismembering them to get the 108 fragments to close the Machida hole before it expands and covers the entire world.

Plot
In 2011, a young man named Ranmaru Shindo lives in Tokyo with his younger sister, Saya. They moved from Machida 5 years earlier, after the massacre of their parents in their apartment complex, which was attacked and overrun by unknown assailants who ruthlessly and brutally killed almost everyone in several buildings in the complex. He has been having recurring dreams for some time, of a tattooed girl covered in blood holding a giant sword surrounded by bodies, but they are now growing more frequent. It is the day his class graduates to become investigators for The Special Mobile Investigation Forces, or Tokki, which he joined to learn about his parents' death. Later on the day of his graduation, he sees the girl from his dream wearing a police uniform. She is Sakura Rokujo, who is in the same class as him and a member of Section 2, known officially as Special Public Safety Task Force, or Tokko. Its other main members include the young prodigy Kureha Suzuka, the silent strongman Takeru Inukai and its leader Ryoko Ibuki. There are many rumors about Tokko, one of which is that they use swords to execute criminals and that body parts are often found at the crime scenes Tokko investigates. There are also rumors that they aren't even human.

When Ranmaru's unit investigates another grizzly murder, a witness claims to see a demon, which was also rumored at other bloody scenes. There they encounter humans with talking human faced larva parasites growing out of them, that are impervious to guns. The demons refer to Ranmaru as having the scent of Michida and attack, before he is saved by Sakura and Tokko. She explains that they were just lesser monsters controlled to target survivors of the Michida incident. Afterwards, Ranmaru's team researches previous violent dismemberments and learns that most have witnesses claiming to see demons and that the incidents have been on the rise since Michida. Sakura soon after reveals to Ranmaru that the Machida incident was caused by the monsters, which are demons from the otherworld. Five days before the incident, a box created by ancient philosophers and alchemists was opened that connects to the otherworld, the demons that came through committed the massacre. The stronger demons are called Phantoms and grow stronger by eating humans, these are the ones Tokko are tasked with finding and killing. The holes created by the earthquakes are the gates that allow them to enter the world. It is also confirmed that the main members of Tokko aren't fully human, referring to themselves as hunters.

Ranmaru and his best friend and partner Hanazono sneak into the closed off Machida crime scene to inspect the hole. When Ranmaru disturbs the hole by dropping something in it, a demon comes out an attacks them. Tokko arrives and saves them, and explains they are all survivors of Machida and the only ones that can defeat them as they have "awakened" into symbionts, having Phantoms inside them that protected them during the incident. The Machida hole is getting bigger and in two years will swallow Tokyo. The box that opened the gate was broken into 108 pieces, each of which is inside a Phantom, and Tokko collects the pieces in order to close the gate. The 12th Phantom, the one controlling the human faced larva parasites, then appears. Ranmaru asks Kureha Suzuka to show him how to awaken so he can fight, even after she warns him that he might not remain himself in which case they would have to kill him. To do so she mortally wounds him and throws him into the hole. When he emerges he completes the symbiosis with a giant demon, forming his tattoos and granting him two large swords, and defeats the Phantom in one attack. When he wakes up a week later, he is transferred to Tokko. In the epilogue it is hinted that two years later the hole did in fact swallow Tokyo.

The story then focuses on Itsuto Araragi and his sister Mayu in 2011, who are survivors of Michida and symbiont hunters unaffiliated with Tokko. Together they hunt Phantoms and eat them to get stronger, absorbing their abilities, aiming to eventually kill them all. They accidentally save Yukino Shiraishi from committing suicide and deduce she was being controlled by a Phantom. They learn students have been going missing at her university and that there are rumors of "demons". There they encounter many Phantoms, learning that some humans willing become them. It is revealed this all started when Yukino discovered what she thought to be a mummy hand and took it back the university, it was in fact a Phantom hand from Machida. Her father, who works at the university, began experimenting and learned humans can become a hybrid of human and phantom by eating them and began to turn the students as well. He was the one who planted a larva in Yukino to make her commit suicide, after she saw him kill her mother. Using their newly absorbed abilities from the Phantoms at the school, Itsuto and Mayu defeat her father, with her finishes him off herself by setting their house on fire. Yukino then moves in with Itsuto and Mayu, saying she wants to learn more about the demons to prevent this from happening again.

Characters

Ranmaru Shindo

 One of the survivors of the Machida massacre alongside his young sister Saya, he joined the police force to find out who was responsible for murdering his parents. An officer in the Shibuya precinct as a detective in the Tokki division, he finds out during his work that demons from the other realm are responsible for orchestrating various massacres. Later on, he joins the Tokko division so as to save the country from being overrun by the demons. He suffers from Post-traumatic stress disorder due to the massacre and the deaths of his parents when he and his sister were still in kids. Since he survived the Machida incident, all Phantom demons were given instruction to finish him off, as well as any other witnesses who have seen the events. As he and Saya were the only survivors of the Shindo family, the two became very close after they were tragically orphaned. His symbiont tattoos are on his right forearm and left shoulder.

Saya Shindo

 Younger sister of Ranmaru, she joined the police force as a uniformed patrol officer. As a survivor of the Machida massacre, she also has a phantom inside her, though it is never awakened. Unlike her brother, she does not experience post-traumatic stress disorder as she opts to forget the memories of the events in Machida. Like her brother, she gets targeted for assassination by the Phantom demons, as she was one of the survivors of the murders. When not in police work or in danger from being assassinated by the Phantoms, she nags Ranmaru like a mother, such as telling him to finish his food or go have himself checked up for any injuries. She cares deeply about him and will do everything that she can to make sure that he is okay.

Sakura Rokujo

 One of the survivors of the Machida massacre, she was the woman haunting Ranmaru's dreams of his parents and neighbors being killed by a Phantom demon. Working in the Tokko division in the Shibuya precinct, the 18-year-old handles a broadsword in dispatching the Phantoms. Her tattoos are on her right shoulder and arm, a dragon, and left arm. Her brother was also a survivor but has been unconscious since then, she resolves to kill all the monsters.

 In the anime, it is also hinted that she may have feelings for Ranmaru when she kissed him before she went into his psyche in order to help save him from being possessed. Later on in the anime, she is forced to face her own brother when the symbionts inside of him possess him and turn him into evil. In the final episode Ranmaru stabs her with his sword (and kisses her) to gain her shard, hinting that she dies, however at the end of the episode she is seen laying in a hospital bed apparently in a coma. She then wakes up and we hear evil laughter (not Sakura's).

Kureha Suzuka

 A young prodigy who joined the police force at the age of 18 with the rank of Assistant Inspector, she is posted in the Tokko division.

 Her preferred weapons are two daggers that have four retractable blades. Kureha does not wear a shirt with the Tokko division's black leather jacket and pants, revealing a tattoo of a butterfly above her pierced belly-button. In the anime, she originally had brown hair, before changing it to blonde after the massacre as a means of moving on after her parents were killed by Phantoms and the death of her younger brother, Akito, at her hands. Her symbiont tattoo, never shown in the manga, was on her right shoulder in the anime.

Takeru Inukai

 The only male main member of Tokko, he survived the Machida incident by tearing apart his parents' killers with his bare hands. He is usually silent and dresses in black clothing and wears black shades. In the anime, he was recruited by Ryoko after demons kidnapped his sister and had been a martial artist (implied to be kendo) before joining the police. He is later killed by Sakura's possessed brother back in the ruins of the Machida apartment in episode eleven.

Ryoko Ibuki

 Commanding officer of the Tokko division with the rank of Superintendent, she is responsible for the Tokko's operations in conducting anti-Phantom operations in Tokyo. She prefers guns over other weapons and is never actually confirmed to be a symbiont in the manga; in the anime she is explicitly said to be a normal human.

Kaoru Kunikida

 Chief Inspector of the Shibuya branch of Tokki, where Ranmaru and Hanazono are assigned. He hates the Tokko division and its members for being so secretive, especially when his fellow officers were murdered by the Phantoms and its human-controlled slaves via Human Face larvae. He is insistent in finding out the reasons why Tokko exists and its agenda, to the cost of possibly losing his job over this. He is especially infuriated when Ranmaru leaves his division for Tokko. In the anime, he appears to have a daughter named Ruru (most likely a nickname) and is also a womanizer.

 Based on various side remarks on Kaoru during certain events in the series, it is apparent that he might have been a gangster in his youth before he decided to reform himself as a police officer. His rough behavior and language also fit the general stereotype of a yakuza.

Ichiro Hanazono

 Ranmaru's best friend and partner. They graduated together and are assigned to the same commander. They can be troublemakers when together. Ichiro often calls Ranmaru a pervert and says that he has something for his younger sister. In actuality Hanazono has a crush on Saya and often gets mad at Ranmaru for always being around attractive women, stating that he used to think Ranmaru was loser.

Itsuto Araragi
 He and his sister Maya are hunters unaffiliated with Tokko. A survivor from Machida, he "awakened" when he and Maya walked in on their parents being eaten by phantoms. Together they hunt phantoms and eat them to get stronger, absorbing their abilities, and aim to eventually kill them all.

Mayu Araragi
 She and her older brother Itsuto are hunters unaffiliated with Tokko. As survivor from Machida, they hunt phantoms together and eat them to get stronger by absorbing their abilities, aiming to eventually kill them all. She is adept at detecting phantoms and can insert any image she wants into someone else's mind, a sort of hallucination, although she can physically hold her own.

Yukino Shiraishi

 She is accidentally saved from committing suicide by Itsuko and Mayu. After deducing she was being controlled by a phantom, the two learn students have been going missing at the university she works at and that there are rumors of "demons". It all started when Yukino discovered and took back the university what was in fact a Phantom hand from Machida. Her father began experimenting and learned humans can become a hybrid of human and phantom by eating them and began to turn the students as well, with some willingly agreeing. He planted a larva in Yukino to make her commit suicide when she walked in on him trying to force her mother to eat phantom and killed her when she refused.

 In the anime her character is different, she is often referred to as the "hottie from the crime lab" by Ranmaru's colleagues. Her mother died prior to the Machida incident, with her father becoming obsessed with his research soon after. Saya set her and Ranmaru up on a blind date that ended up in them finding out more about the phantoms. Later on, on a second date they were attacked by Yukino's father after he turned himself into a phantom/human hybrid.

The South Australian Country Fire Service (SACFS, commonly abbreviated as CFS) is a volunteer based fire service in the Australian state of South Australia. The CFS has responsibility as the Control Agency for firefighting, rescues and hazardous materials and inland waterways in the country regions of South Australia. Its official mission is "To protect life, property and the environment from fire and other emergencies whilst protecting and supporting our personnel and continuously improving."

Many parts of Australia are sparsely populated and under significant risk of bushfire. It would be prohibitively expensive for each Australian town or village to have a paid fire service (department).  The compromise adopted is to have government funded equipment and training but volunteer fire-fighters to perform the duties of regular fire-fighters. In South Australia, the name for the volunteer service is the CFS.  Each Australian State and Territory has its own service, such as the Country Fire Authority in the state of Victoria and the Rural Fire Service in the state of New South Wales.

In the state capital Adelaide and larger towns in South Australia, a conventional paid service exists, the South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service (SAMFS). Most towns (over 430 communities) rely on the CFS. Several Adelaide suburbs that retain extensive scrubland have CFS stations whose area of operation overlaps that of the SAMFS with joint training exercises sometimes organised for major community facilities such as the Flinders Medical Centre. For urban incidents, both services will often attend with the Metropolitan Fire Service taking command.

Appearance

The Country Fire Service fire appliances are painted white, rather than red as in many other fire services worldwide.  This provides greater visibility on road, and in thick smoke. The day/night striping down the sides of appliances is either the old silver and red standard, or a newer red and gold chequering. Appliances made after 2012 have the newest red and bright yellow chequering. The red and bright yellow chequering provides much better visibility, particularly for crews working on roads.  Some appliances are also trialling battenburg striping with bright chevrons on the rear of the appliances.

Fire fighters wear yellow protective clothing, with a two-piece set being the standard (Bunker pants, and turn out coat). With the introduction of PBI Gold (improved structural fire-fighting clothing), all CFS volunteers who have completed BA training are now seen wearing yellow/brown coloured clothing. All turn out coats have "CFS" or "FIRE" on the back in reflective writing. More modern jackets also have day/night striping around the sleeves and bottom of the jacket.  Safety Vests are provided for work on the roads. these have "Fire", "Rescue", or "CFS" on both front and back in reflective writing.

Fire fighters' helmets are white, (senior fire fighters have a red stripe), with the fire fighters surname on the back of the helmet in red writing on a glow-in-the-dark background. Lieutenants and Captains have yellow helmets (the captain has a red stripe), and Deputy Group Officers and above have red helmets. Regional staff have a blue stripe on their helmet.

History

In colonial times, the government attempted to control the outbreak of wildfires by legislating against the careless use of fire. This began with the 1847 ordinance against reckless burn-offs of stubble and grass. The challenge of fire suppression was left to local residents who would band together to fight fires without any formal organisation or authority. In 1913, district councils were given the right to appoint fire control officers given the power to do anything 'necessary or expedient and practicable' to prevent fires or to protect life and property.

As firefighting technology advanced during World War II, a government-equipped volunteer Emergency Fire Service (EFS) brigade was established in Adelaide followed by additional brigades in some country areas. After the war, equipment from these brigades was lent to district councils for rural firefighting work. To supervise the program, an Emergency Fire Services division was formed as a division of the police department.

Throughout the mid-1950s, the EFS grew stronger and more organised, and volunteers began to campaign for the establishment of the EFS as a statutory authority. This was achieved in 1976 with the passing of the Country Fires Act through the South Australian Government which retitled the EFS as the Country Fire Service (CFS). The Country Fires Act, 1989 pulled the control of the CFS away from district councils to the State Government, allowing for the development of a standardised service able to respond quickly to emergencies across South Australia. In the late 1990s, as part of a drive to ensure that the CFS was properly equipped, another major change in funding was brought in, and the administration of the Service was combined with the administration of several other emergency services.
Today, the Emergency Services Levy Funding provides for the training, equipment and administration resources required to maintain the operation of the Service, but the CFS still stands fundamentally on the commitment and energy of its volunteers.

In 2005 the South Australian Fire and Emergency Services (SAFECOM) Act was passed in South Australian Parliament.  This act brings the Country Fire Service (SACFS) Metropolitan Fire Service (SAMFS) and South Australian State Emergency Service (SASES) together under one administration board, and funding source. Vince Monterola, CEO of the Country Fire Service at the time, was appointed as the inaugural chairman. It is this Act that defines the Country Fire Service (CFS) as the South Australian Country Fire Service (SACFS). The SAFECOM Act of 2005 replaces the Country Fires Act of 1989, the South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service Act of 1936 and the State Emergency Service Act of 1987.

Divisions

The CFS is made up of brigades which are organised into groups, which are again grouped into Regions. There are six regions in SA, and 55 groups. The CFS consists of around 434 brigades and 16,400 volunteers (11,800 fire fighters, 3,400 Auxiliary and 1000 cadets).

Strike teams

A "strike team" is a deployment of appliances out of their usual area of operation. A strike team is made up as an operational unit to simplify incident command and control. A strike team typically consists of 5 fire appliances and a leading command car. The most common configuration is 4 Fire fighting appliances and 1 Bulk water carrier. A Strike teams firefighting force will be standardised to an appliance type, such as Rural or Urban Strike team; where Rural Strike teams contain only 24 and 34 type tankers, and an Urban Strike team contains only light/medium/heavy pumper type appliances, with the exception of a Bulk water carrier type appliance. Typically Strike teams are sourced from a group, and are named after their group. (e.g., A strike team from Swanport Group would be called "Swanport strike team"). Strike teams however can be composite made up from appliances from a number of groups. Strike teams are often deployed to regional areas for several days deployment. Often a strike team will be in charge of a particular sector of a fire.

The are also "rolling strike teams", which follow the 1 leader, 5 appliance ratio, however, these types of strike team do not organise prior to the deployment. They are paged in a way that is similar to a normal call out, and then meet up on the fire ground. This is a much quicker way to get trucks to an incident, but, the crews that are deployed in this way are often only used for a single day, as they are less organised and have less preparation time.

Along a similar line task forces are groups of appliances that are mobilised to combat a particular incident out of their usual area of operation. However, task forces are more flexible in their makeup and appliances are usually specifically selected for a particular incident. Where practical the 1 leader with 5 subordinates ratio is maintained for command ability. Unlike Strike teams, Task forces do not require appliance standardisation, hence a "Light Task force" may consist of type 14, Quick Response, and Bulk Water carrier appliances. Task forces attend a wide range of incidents including flooding.

There are also regional strike teams. These strike teams are put together when there are high fire danger days coming up and the CFS does not want to stretch a group's resources. These regional strike teams usually have one or two trucks from a few groups in that region. They sometimes have two or more commanding cars, plus a State Emergency Service vehicle for logistics.

Chain of Command
The CFS chain of command is set out in the following way, with the top being the most senior in rank:
 Chief Officer (Red helmet with a white stripe)
 Deputy Chief Officer (Red helmet with a white stripe)
 Assistant Chief Officer (Red helmet with a white stripe)
 Commander / Regional Commander (Red helmet with a blue stripe)
 Staff/Regional Officer (Red helmet with a blue stripe)
 Group Officer (Red helmet)
 Deputy Group Officer (Red helmet)
Brigade Captain (Yellow helmet with a red stripe) is the most senior rank in a brigade. The brigade captain is responsible for the operational and administrative aspects of the brigade. The position is elected by members of the brigade. Some of the things that a Captain will do are: undertaking responsibility for the proper management and maintenance of brigade property and equipment, ensuring members of the brigade are properly trained, take command of incidents and ensure that the chain of command within the brigade operates effectively, assisting with bushfire prevention and planning within the brigade's response area, liaising with other captains in adjacent brigades and managing the operations of the brigade in accordance with any determination of the CFS board.
 Brigade Lieutenant. (Yellow helmet, pronounced as 'lef-tenant') There must be at least two Lieutenants in a brigade and a maximum of four. They are elected to assist the captain in the performance of his or her functions, and take over in the absence of the Captain.
 Senior Fire Fighter. (White helmet with a red stripe) Seniors are not officers as such, but assist the Captain and Lieutenants with mainly operational management. They should be experienced personnel within the brigade, and they provide an opportunity for brigades to establish a line of middle management or succession planning. Some people see the position of a Senior as a buildup to becoming a Lieutenant.
 Fire Fighter (White helmet) is the lowest rank of operational fire personnel, but they are the most important, because they make up the numbers. These fire-fighters can be trained just as much as a more highly ranked person but they do not usually take a leadership role at an incident.
Operational Support member. (no helmet) They do not go out on the fire truck. They help out with any of the other jobs that need doing, including fundraising, preparing food, operating the station radio etc.
 Cadet.  They do not go out on the fire truck to incidents. The age in which you can become a cadet is 11, but some brigades will set higher minimum ages for their members. At the age of 16 you are able to choose to become a fire-fighter, or stay on until you are 18 as a cadet. Cadets are taught skills which will help them when they become fire-fighters.

All positions from Group Officer down (inclusive) are voluntary and are elected democratically by fire-fighters (with the exception of cadets).

Regional Officers and above are appointed by the state government.

Other positions that may be held within a brigade/group are:
 Brigade/Group Communications Coordinator is responsible for ensuring all communication equipment is operational and utilised correctly and efficiently.
 Brigade/Group Training Coordinator coordinates training, including weekly training and ensuring volunteers are placed on appropriate specialist courses.
 Brigade/Group Logistics Support Coordinator provides logistics support at a local level, e.g. food packs on appliances, and resource directories in the radio room.
 Brigade/Group OH&S Coordinator ensures OH&S requirements are met, and near miss and accident report forms are lodged appropriately.
 Brigade/Group Administration Coordinator does administration, including signing up of new members.
Brigade/Group Finance Coordinator coordinate finances, reimbursements, purchases, and GST claims (often combined with Brigade Administration Coordinator)

CFS logos

Star logo
The eight-pointed star logo is used as the official badge of the SA Country Fire Service. It is claimed to have originated from the Maltese Cross, the emblem of the Knights of Malta, which was used by the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem at the time of the Crusades. The points or tenets were said to represent the knightly virtues of tact, loyalty, dexterity, observation, sympathy, explicitness, gallantry and perseverance. Since these virtues represent the qualities required by a firefighter, the star was chosen for the insignia of the CFS.

Each point of the Star represents a virtue, valued in a fire fighter. These are (from top point, going clock-wise): tact, loyalty, dexterity, observation, sympathy, gallantry, explicitness, and perseverance.

Although the corporate 'taxi' logo is now used in most applications, the star is still the official insignia of the CFS.

The corporate logo
The new corporate logo was introduced in 1999, in an effort to present the modern image of the CFS as a professional organisation. The logo should be used on fire appliances, fleet vehicles, helmets and official CFS publications. The logo was chosen as a result of a competition and is based on a design by a CFS volunteer, Gary MacRae. The red checker pattern representing the fire service, the yellow representing the colour of the CFS turn-out gear, and the map of south Australia representing the area served.

Dispatch

The CFS has a few ways of dispatching brigades to emergencies, however in almost all, pagers are used to alert volunteers to the incident. People wanting to report an incident should ring the national emergency number 000 and ask for 'fire'. Their call will be taken by trained operators at the SAMFS communications centre. Brigades can also be responded by notifying a brigade in person, or by ringing the local brigade's phone (if the station is manned).

As of July 2007, all dispatch and day-to-day state operations were relocated to the SAMFS communications centre. SAMFS are now the lead agency undertaking dispatch for MFS, CFS and SES.

South Australia's dispatch callsign is 'Adelaide Fire', SAMFS, SACFS and SASES all use this call sign to contact dispatch.

Responsibility
In addition to supporting the SES regarding flood damage, and weather damage (e.g. trees over roads), the CFS responds to three main incident types.

Motor vehicle accident (MVA) spillages, and Road Crash Rescue (RCR)
The CFS provides fire cover and cleanup at road accidents. When there are entrapments, the CFS will provide fire cover, and when required will respond with rescue appliances with the appropriate tools for stabilising and extricating trapped casualties. They also perform other rescue duties, such as rope (vertical / high angle) rescue, confined space rescue, building collapse related rescue, industrial site rescue, water and ice related rescues/emergencies and animal rescues.

The Country Fire Service often performs these duties assisting other agencies. Such as the Metropolitan Fire Service (SAMFS), State Emergency Service (SES), South Australian Police (SAPOL), the South Australian Ambulance Service (SAAS) and Water Operations (Volunteer Coast Guard, SES, F MAS, life saving or Sea Rescue).

Fire fighting
Fire fighting is the main job of the CFS. They respond to any fires including country and urban. Fire fighters combat grass fires, bush fires, crop fires, scrub fires, haystack fires, and brush fence fires, house fires, chimney fires, car fires, rubbish bin fires etc. Most trucks carry breathing apparatus, and use foam as a fire fighting agent.

The CFS's specialty is the containment, control and extinguishing of bushfires.

Special service
The CFS is the combatant authority for HAZMAT (hazardous materials) incidents. However, not all brigades respond to these. As HAZMAT incidents require a lot of people, only about 1 in 10 brigades are HAZMAT trained, and resources are drawn from all over the state.
Urban fringe brigades also do "Enhanced Mutual Aid" with the SA Metropolitan Fire Service. This involves change of quarters to metropolitan stations and responding to incidents in the metropolitan area.

Appliances
The CFS has 5 types of appliances: urban appliances, rural appliances, specialised appliances, Combinations of all three.

Rural appliances
CFS Appliances have a call sign which describes the appliance. The most common rural appliances are the 24 (Pronounced two-four), which means it carries 2000 litres of water and is a 4-wheel drive (4WD) and the 34 (Pronounced three-four), which means it carries 3000 litres of water and is a 4-wheel drive (4WD). Other common appliances are 14 (1000L, 4WD), pumpers and QRV (330-500L 4WD).  The newest appliance is the 44 (Pronounced "four-four"), which means it carries 4,000 litres of water and is 4 wheel drive (4wd).
These figures are the nominal water carrying capacity.  Fire fighting appliances carry water, foam and other fire fighting related tools and equipment. They are designed for bush/scrub/grass fire fighting however can be utilised for a number of other duties. Bulk Water Carriers (BWC, previously called 'Tankers'), which carry large volumes of water (up to 30,000 litres), also respond to rural related incidents, however may be used as water sources for structural fires, car fires, HAZMAT incidents etc., where water sources are minimal.

These rural appliances are extremely important for keeping South Australia protected from fires. Almost every town in South Australia would have at least two of these rural fire trucks. The reason that there are many different types of rural trucks, is because the terrain changes a lot in South Australia. A 14 appliance, typically only carries 1000 litres nominally, but new single cab variations hold the capacity for up to 1600 litres. 14 appliances are extremely useful for getting into small tracks which larger appliances can not. Large 34s often have trouble in getting into smaller areas. 24s are the most common, because they are not too heavy and big, but carry a reasonable amount of water, which can last a good time before having to fill up. In most parts of South Australia outside major centres there is no water mains, so this is where Bulk Water Carriers come in handy. These BWCs, often at a rural fire, will be stationary at the edge of it, for smaller trucks to fill up from. when empty it is their job to go and find water in places including, rivers, dams, swimming pools and water tanks.

Urban appliances

Urban appliances are usually Pumpers', 24Pumpers' (24P) or 34Pumpers' (34P). They have bigger pumps, and are more suitable for responding to urban incidents like house fires, car accidents etc.

Specialised appliances
These are trucks which are designed for one purpose, like Rescue, or HAZMAT. Usually these are combined with another truck. (e.g. A pumper will be a combined Pumper/HAZMAT truck, or Pumper/Rescue) There is one statewide HAZMAT truck, which is based at Burnside CFS that responds to any HAZMAT incident in the state. It carries extra air cylinders for the Breathing Apparatus as well as gas tight suits, atmospheric monitoring equipment, and other specialised equipment.

Vehicle inventory
According to the Basic Firefighting 1 (BF1) manual, the CFS vehicles are such:
 73 Urban appliances
 515 Rural Appliances
 7 Multi purpose appliances
 1 state HAZMAT response appliance
 71 Command vehicles
 11 Rescue Vehicles
 19 Tankers
 150 Miscellaneous transport vehicles

Training

Skills Training
The CFS pays for all its volunteers to be trained to the required level. It has a world class training centre at Brukunga, in the Adelaide Hills, where the specialised courses are held.  However, some courses are trained by other services or companies, like first aid, given by St John Ambulance SA. There is another training centre, called the south coast training centre, but it is not as well equipped, nor funded. Here is a list of some of the courses available.

 Basic Fire Fighting 1 (BFF1) (Basic training course) (Nationally accredited)
 Suppress Wildfire (Level 2) (Nationally accredited)

Weekly Training

Most urban stations have a weekly training, the time of this training differs between brigades. (Some brigades opt to have 2 training days a week, so that all members can attend). In this training time CFS members will revise skills which they have learnt in skill training. This training time is also used for organisation and maintenance. Below is a list of common things that happen on Training nights.
 Testing of equipment
 Pumps, pumping and draughting
 Social Games with other brigades
 Map reading, and navigation
 Communication skills

Meridiani so po verovanju v tradicionalni kitajski medicini »energijski« kanali, ki povezujejo »energijske« točke, bolj znane kot akupunkturne točke, po katerih se pretaka življenjska energija – či. »Energijske« točke, ki bi jih naj bilo več kot 2.000, naj bi bili drobceni zbiralniki elektromagnetnih ter subtilnejših energij, meridiani pa so kanali, po katerih se pretaka ta »energija« (pri čemer ni konkretnih dokazov za obstoj teh energij ali posebnih kanalov in točk zanje). Tok v meridianih naj bi se vseskozi spreminjal, nanj pa TKM poskuša vplivati z iglami in fizičnim pritiskom, da sprosti ali pa porazdeli zajezeno »energijo«, katere neravnovesje je po tradicionalni kitajski medicini vzrok za bolezni.

The Torpedo Factory Art Center is the former U.S. Naval Torpedo Station, a naval munitions factory on the banks of the Potomac River in Old Town, Alexandria, Virginia which was converted into an art center in 1974. The facility is located at 105 N. Union Street, near the eastern end of King Street.

The Torpedo Factory Art Center is home to the largest number of publicly accessible working artist studios in the U.S. Each year, more than a half-million visitors interact with its community of artists. As of March 2022, it housed 82 artists' studios, 8 galleries, and workshops, with some 165 professional visual artists who work in a variety of media, including painting, ceramics, photography, jewelry, stained glass, fiber, printmaking, and sculpture. The Torpedo Factory has become a model of creative placemaking for other communities.

Artists are selected as part of an annual jury and re-jury process. Once accepted, they receive a three-year lease of publicly subsidized rent.

History
After months of planning, on November 12, 1918—ironically the day after Armistice Day marked the end of World War I—the U.S. Navy began construction of the U.S. Naval Torpedo Station. The factory built torpedoes for five years before becoming munitions storage. With the onset of World War II, the factory produced Mark III torpedoes for aircraft and Mark XIV torpedoes for submarines.

By the war's end in 1945, the complex was converted to government storage for things such as congressional documents, artifacts from the Smithsonian, and Nazi trial records. The City of Alexandria eventually bought the building in 1969.

In 1974, Marian Van Landingham, as president of The Art League, proposed a project to renovate part of the factory into studio spaces for the Alexandria Bicentennial Project. The project was originally approved for only three years. Large-scale renovation began in May 1974 and the new center formally opened on September 15, 1974. From 1982 to 1983, the building underwent further renovation in compliance with the City's waterfront development plan and was entirely gutted and rebuilt with a new ventilation system and central heating. It formally reopened on May 20, 1983. Adjacent industrial facilities were demolished to build the Torpedo Factory Condominiums in 1985.

The Torpedo Factory Artists Association created by artists and The Art League, managed the center for 12 years, from 1998 to 2010. From 2011 to 2016, it was managed by the specially created Torpedo Factory Art Center Board nonprofit. The Torpedo Factory Artists' Association is the Torpedo Factory's professional artist community of more than 275 juried visual artists. Past presidents include Tanya Davis, and other artists, and the current president is artist Rachel Kerwin.

In 2018, the City of Alexandria took control of all operations of the Torpedo Factory, despite opposition from some artists. In August 2019, one of the galleries was named after Marian Van Landingham. In October 2021, city authorities started to consider different options for funding renovations.

Ostrich Walking (em tradução livre, Avestruz Caminhando) é um filme mudo britânico em curta-metragem, realizado em 1887, parte do estudo do inventor e fotógrafo Eadweard Muybridge à respeito do movimento animal. Atualmente, pode ser visualizado pelo YouTube, encontrando-se em domínio público pela data em que foi realizado.

Não se trata de um filme como entendemos hoje, mas de uma sequência de fotografias dispostas de forma a criar a impressão de movimento.

Compõem-se de duas séries de imagens de uma avestruz andando: uma tirada de lado e a outra pelas costas. Produzidas entre 1883 e 1886, somente foram publicadas em 1887, em um portfólio intitulado "Animal Locomotion. An Electro-Photographic Investigation of Consecutive Phases of Animal Movements", que trazia diversas imagens sobre o tema da locomoção dos seres.
