Converting the factory Nissan 200sx McPherson front suspension to double triangular layout.
Along with the rear suspension I set out to convert the front setup of my Nissan 200sx S13, to a double triangular control arm setup as well. Initially, the front suspension seemed to be the least difficult of the 2 conversions, but large changes made over time to the front turned out to make it even more difficult to design and construct. Originally, I decided to only increase the trackwidth front and rear, but in 2015 I decided to also increase the wheelbase by 300mm. Due to lighter vehicle approval regulations for older cars that are substantially modified, and receiving corresponding approval, increasing the wheelbase is not an issue and will substantially enhance the stability/handling of the vehicle considering the trackwidth increase.
Nissan choose a McPherson system for the S13 over the multilink systems found in the 300zx, a system found also in the Primera family saloon. Likely to keep production and resulting sales costs down. Still though many manufacturers use McPherson systems even on very high performance cars, such as the current 9xx series Porsches.
In my first front suspension design in 2012, I planned to use the factory mounting points for the coilover, lower control arm and steering housing. The upper control arm would be mounted higher up with mounts and reinforcement plating welded into the strut tower. Although I went with a very complicated brand new knuckle design for the rear suspension with integrated bearings, I decided to settle with cast factory Nissan R35 front knuckles. These knuckles have a long 'neck' where the mounting joint for the upper arm actually sits above the tyre. The advantage of this design is that the upper control arm and coilover mounting can be mounted close together, for a more rigid, and lighter structure. As the R35 knuckle turned out to be too long, I initially cut the neck of by 60mm and welded it back on. However, even then the neck would protrude through the fender in full stroke as it later turned out.
After further studying the R35 knuckle I concluded that the complete neck could be cut of, and a pocket milled within the area leading up to the neck for a spherical bearing. This also substantially lightened the knuckle. The center of the new bearing pocket was milled in line with the factory mounting positions taken as guides as to not upset the original alignment. However, it does require a more complex stiffening/mounting structure within the strut tower as the upper arm now sits in between the lower arm and the shock mounting. The R35 upper control arm is slanted for an anti-dive effect, a feature I copied. Just like the rear suspension, the mounting points for the arms will be adjustable U brackets. The knuckle without hub/bearing weighs approximately 3800 grams including the steering stop brackets & bolts.
The front McPherson setup was removed to look at what will & won't fit. Quite different to the rear suspension, the distance between the lower control arm mounting points is dictated by the steering housing size. If the steering and lower control arms are a different length, the wheels will either toe in or toe out through wheel travel. Another factor to take into account is that the 200sx and the R35 knuckle have the same Ackerman angle, but the steering 'stroke' (the distance from the lower arm ball joint to the steering joint) of the R35 knuckle is 25mm larger @ 145mm versus 120mm on the S13. Combined with the 200sx steering housing, the maximum steering angle will be reduced. Additionally, this would mean that the steering housing would have to move back 25mm, and the steering gear ratio would be down from 1:2,7 to 1;3,3 which I feel is not acceptable.
In order to increase the wheelbase (2450mm) by 300mm, the entire front suspension moves that distance forward. By increasing the ratio between the wheelbase and the trackwidth, the straight ahead stability will be increased. The factory ratio is 1:1,7. With a maximum trackwidth of 1970mm minus tyre size, 255 front and 305 rear the new ratio with both increased track and wheelbase is 1:1,60 to 1:1.65. The 'agressive' Ferrari 458 in comparison, has a 1:1,58 to 1:1.65 ratio. The Nissan GTR has a higher value, 1:1,74 all round.
Moving the wheels/knuckles forward 300mm also helps to move weight to the rear, and reduces dive while braking as the engine is further back relative to the front wheels, applying less leverage on the front suspension. The new control arm layout will require a custom subframe, where the steering housing attaches to as well. The mounting up against the chassis for the upper control arm is in development. It's not difficult to make but it's important to keep the weight down. Aluminium is ruled out as there's alot of welding to the steel chassis involved. As can be seen from the Solidworks screenshots below the shock absorber is mounted through a so called bellcrank mechanism, which I'll explain next.
Notes on Solidworks screenshots; the spring protrudes the chassis, as it is drawn as the factory strut tower. This way it's easier to for me to see what to adjust to the chassis. Also the spring is static, it does not 'work' along, saving rebuild time in Solidworks. The bellcrank has insufficient support from it's mounting, that is because the mounting design for the upper control arm and bellcrank is not fully finished in these screenshots.
A bellcrank is a device that allows change of motion through an angle. A bellcrank allows the coilover to be placed 'on board'. Placing it on board allows for a more airodynamic wheel arch, less unsprung weight (the coilover is moved sideways not up/down). Also, a stiffer, compact mounting for the coilover and upper arm, and no need to create a strong chassis coilover mounting above the wheel. Bellcranks are also great for adjusting motion ratio's. The Audi system pictured below uses a bellcrank with a ratio of around 1:3. The Lamborghini bellcrank however has a way lower ratio, around 1:1,1. In both applications the ratio is determined by the angle/leverage of the pushrod. On the Audi LMP car, the pushrod travel against the bellcrank compared to wheel travel is 3-4 times lower, therefore the bellcrank has to compensate. The Lamborghini however, has a pushrod that stands far more upright. Therefore the ratio of the bellcrank is so much lower than that of the Audi. I calculated the Lamborghini's motion ratio with Solidworks and concluded that the final shock-wheel travel ratio is exactly 1:1.
Why the bellcrank on this setup?
In 2011 I welded a large Custom Cages rollcage in my 200sx. This rollcage attaches to the top-rear sides of the front strut towers. Mounting the coilover there again is without question, from both a safety and rigidity point of view. But if the wheelbase is increased by 300mm, there's no way to mount the coilover back against the strut tower, without putting it at some impossible angle from the knuckle or lower control arm. I also had to take the space for the steering movement of the wheels into account. A bellcrank ended up being the proper solution. Contrary to the straight acting bell crank setup on the Lamborghini (of which the motion/angles can be calculated easily by hand), on my setup the bellcrank has to move the motion to the rear, and also upwards as the coilover hangs at an angle mounted up to the strut tower. The mounting for the coilover sits right against the plate where the rollcage bolts to, this way the force is being directed against the stiff cage reducing flex of the chassis during wheel travel. The bellcrank hinge bearing bolts to the same frame that holds the upper arm, and it is substantially reinforced by a bar that bolts to the upper shock mounting. The Solidworks screenshots below show the wheel at it's maximum 43° turn in angle and upward wheel travel of 55mm from level position. Though the car might need to see even more wheel travel, it's highly unlikely this will happen from steering at tight angles. Even then, the wheels can travel another 20mm without touching the bar.
These 2 screenshots show the angle at which the bellcrank stands under full downward and upward wheel travel (the upper arm is invisible). The drawing shows the dimensions of this particular design.
The bellcrank needs to be correctly aligned. In an ideal situation, with the car at 0mm wheel travel, the pushrod, bellcrank, and coilover lie parallel on the same plane. If the alignment is incorrect, the parts may bind, see excessive torque/stress, or the motion ratio gets upset. The coilover has a fixed mounting point, and so does the lower control arm mounting for the pushrod, so the bellcrank needs to be aligned in between the 2. But the pushrod applies the force to the bellcrank through the up and down movement of the lower arm, so this additional effect has to be taken into account.
The following screenshots show the pushrod at -50, 0 and 50mm wheel travel, with the final bellcrank and pushrod design. As can be seen, at 0mm wheel travel the pushrod almost lines up, and at 10mm travel it does. I did this on purpose, as the forces on the system are highest at higher wheel travel, and I'd rather not have it push the bellcrank under a high angle. As a result of the 10mm difference, and due to the natural effect of the lower arm moving in an arc, on -50mm travel, the angle is considerably larger.
Since the bellcrank moves the pushrod and coilover mounting in an arc, the torque transfer may change if the mounting locations/angles are adjusted. This way it is possible to create a so called regressive or progressive coilover setup. A progressive setup means the coilover needs to be compressed further for the same amount of wheel travel. Therefore the coilover firms up with upward wheel travel as it requires more force to compress it for the same wheel travel distance. A regressive setup does the opposite; it 'softens' the coilover as more upward wheel travel occurs. A regressive setup may result in a poorly controllable car, while a progressive setup can enhance the handling. The nice thing about the progressive setup is that it partly works as an anti-roll bar, and adds additional anti dive. The coilover settings can therefore also be set more comfortable. In my calculations I measure from -50mm to 50mm wheel travel. This is more than what the suspension may actually see while driving but it allows for small changes later on, such as adjusting the ride height.
I measured the wheel travel vs coilover travel for different bellcrank and pushrod designs, and placed them in the graph below. Coilover travel is measured at -50, -25, 0, 25 and 50mm wheel travel. Pushrod length used are 220, 240 and 250mm. Bellcrank designs are varied as seen in the pictures below the graph. In order to make the progressive and regressive effect well visible, I add the wheel travel to the measured coilover travel. In an exact 1:1 motion ratio the line would be horizontally flat, if it rises along with wheel travel the motion is regressive. But if the line drops with wheel travel a progressive effect is attained, which is what I'm looking for. Therefore, each individual spot in the graph means nothing, it's the combination of the 5 recordings that indicates coilover travel. My goal is a progressive effect of about 10% from 0 to 50mm wheel travel, while trying to keep the negative wheel travel area at a motion ratio as close to 1:1 as possible.
Line A, has an increasing motion ratio, but the increase becomes less thus being regressive. For B, I decreased the bellcrank angle by 15° over A but this resulted in a rather 'lazy' curve. So for C the bellcrank angle was reduced another 10°, which led to an unwanted regressive response upto 25mm wheel travel. For D, the pushrod length was therefore increased by 20mm, so that the line tilts more to the progressive side. This was an improvement, but I'd rather have a flatter line from -50 to 0mm travel. I therefore increased the bellcrank angle 10° back to 75°, creating line E. The motion ratio was more stable from -50 to -25 wheel travel, but it could still do better. Line F had 10mm added to the pushrod length, but this created a progressive ratio somewhat to aggressive. So for F, I added 3mm from the pivot distances between the chassis and pushrod. Now, the negative wheel travel areas stayed pretty flat at a 1:1 motion ratio, with a smooth increase to 50mm. An increase of 5.46mm was achieved from 0-50mm wheel travel, or 11%.
Like with the rear suspension, I make use of U brackets cut to size to be able to make changes to the control arm positions. On these drawings however the subframe is a 1 piece structure, that is because I may need to make quick adjustments to it due the location of the steering housing. The housing itself is not the issue, but if the steering arm is simply lengthened to meet the steering housing 300mm further up, the arm will cross through the driver's side turbo. As I might convert the R35 steering housing as well, I'm leaving this for later.
The factory Nissan R35 knuckle has anti-dive geometry and 6° caster. Seen from the side the upper arm is slanted 13° for the anti-dive effect, and seen from the front is also angled to increase negative camber upon upwards wheel travel. The anti dive geometry is clearly visisble in the up/downward screenshots below. Note how the knuckle seems to rotate along with the clock as it goes up. What I've noticed is that cars with front mounted engines often have anti-dive geometry, while rear engined cars (such as the Lamborghini seen above) do not. Being front engined, I decided to incorporate this features.
My upper control arm is much longer than the R35's. It's 335mm, vs 545mm for the lower, a ratio of 1:1,63. The Nissan factory arm is about 1:2. The Solidworks screenshots below show the factory R35 layout compared to my setup. As can be seen, the much shorter R35 upper arm, standing at a high slanted angle adds only 1.38° of camber to the wheel @ 60mm travel. Putting the new, much longer upper arm further down has a much greater effect. If the arm is placed 260mm above the lower arm joint at the subframe, there's just 0.96° added camber @ 60mm travel. But by lowering the joint location to 250mm, the camber shoots up to 1,32° @ 60mm travel.
A new lightweight bellcrank will hinge the coilover. It will also act as a hangar for the anti-roll bar. The bellcrank mount is supported from all directions, both the bellcrank and coilover are mounted inside the engine bay by widening the engine bay. The main advantage is that due the position of these parts they're prone to damage from debris thrown up from the wheels. The anti-roll bar endlink as well as the pushrod will be fitted with a rubber boot to enclose the area.
Update from Oktober 2018; working on a custom knuckle with fully adjustable mounts for the upper, lower, and steering mount. This particular one will be used for strength testing. The 3rd link for the Brembo R35 caliper is also a separate part to reduce the volume of the initial cut.

Q: food-menu problem in drupal I am trying to create a food menu for a boarding school. The idea is to let the students view what they have on menu for the whole day. That is, breakfast, lunch and dinner. This menu would be prepopulated weekly by a user.
My problem are as follows:
 1) How do i use view module to just display items for one day?
 2) Do i need like a date field, and calender module?

A: I would recommend using the Date module.

*

*Add a date field to your 'boardingschoolmenu' content type.

*Then in views you would add the fields you want visible (breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc)

*Add a filter on content type 'boardingschoolmenu'

*Add an argument for the date field. In the settings of the argument, under "Action to take if argument is not present", select: Provide default argument followed by: Current date (or can use php code if you want another date).

The question is how to insert in the original code the functions f generated by Z3 in such way that computations with the groups Z3 and Z4 can be made.  Many thanks.

A: You can use the command eval to evaluate expressions in the model produce by Z3.
For example, you can add the following commands after the (get-model).
(eval (f b b))
(eval c)
(eval (f b (f c b)))

If you want to convert the definition produced by Z3 into a function that can be evaluated in another system or language, then I think you should use the Z3 programmatic API (e.g., Python). Here is an example from z3.py.
    >>> f = Function('f', IntSort(), IntSort())
    >>> s = Solver()
    >>> s.add(f(0) == 1, f(1) == 1, f(2) == 0)
    >>> s.check()
    sat
    >>> m = s.model()
    >>> m[f]
    [0 -> 1, 1 -> 1, 2 -> 0, else -> 1]
    >>> m[f].num_entries()
    3
    >>> m[f].entry(0)
    [0, 1]
    >>> m[f].entry(1)
    [1, 1]
    >>> m[f].entry(2)
    [2, 0]

Israel demolishes statue of Palestinian novelist
December 18, 2018 at 10:25 am | Published in: Israel, Middle East, News, Palestine
Statue of the late Palestinian novelist Ghassan Kanafani was demolished by Israeli authorities on 17 December 2018 [Arab48]
Israeli authorities demolished a statue of the late Palestinian novelist Ghassan Kanafani yesterday in the northern city of Acre, Quds Press has reported. The statue was erected by relatives and Palestinian activists at the entrance of Nabi Saleh Cemetery in the city, Kanafani's birthplace.
Israel's Minister of Internal Affairs, Aryeh Deri, ordered the demolition after an intervention by Minister of Culture Miri Regev. "It is impossible for the statue of someone like this man to remain," said the right-wing Regev. "He was a prominent member of a group which killed Israelis." She pointed out that Kanafani is still a cultural and national hero for the Palestinians.
In fact, Kanafani was one of the most well-known Palestinian and Arab writers and journalists of the 20th century. Deri, though, claimed that the statue was demolished because it was of a "terrorist", saying that Kanafani was affiliated to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), which is a "terrorist group".
The Popular Committee in Akka expressed its deep anger at the demolition of the statue. "He is still scaring the state of Israel, its intelligence agencies and its army even while he is dead," said the Committee.
Ghassan Kanafani was born in the city of Akka in the north of Palestine on 8 April, 1936, during the British Mandate occupation era. He rejected the Israeli occupation in 1948 and became active against it, writing novels and articles denouncing the state and joining the PFLP. On 8 July, 1972, the writer was assassinated in Beirut by a bomb planted in his car by the Israeli Mossad spy agency.

Pranksters Convince Their Friend He's Been In A Coma For 10 Years After His Fifth DUI
Written By: ronemdowell
This could be the most elaborate prank-with-a-message of the year.
Ray can be described as a bit of a lush. After his fifth DUI, his friends allegedly decided to play the prank of the century to knock some sense into him (though it's possible he was in on it).
After he passed out in his truck from drinking, Ray's friends built a fake hospital room and put him into it while he was still passed out.
A doctor came in and told him the year was 2023, and said his family had been notified. Ray asked to see his daughter.
The "doctor" also put on a fake newscast that said Hillary Clinton was president, "former actress and singer Miley Cyrus" was being evicted from a trailer park, and Justin Bieber was celebrating his anniversary with Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Ray was quiet, and seemed to be in shock.
A second doctor came in. "Can you feel this?" he asked.
Ray realizes that he's been had.
But then things get serious.
"Five fucking DUIs. It's not funny. You could've lost your fucking daughter," his friend says.

White Sox had a plan for Chris Sale, unlike Mets with Johan Santana
Starting pitcher Chris Sale of the Chicago White Sox delivers the ball against the Yankees at U.S. Cellular Field on May 22, 2014 in Chicago. Credit: Getty Images / Jonathan Daniel
CHICAGO - The night didn't feel all that much different from the one in Flushing two years earlier. But this was the South Side, not Citi Field. And the manager in question was Robin Ventura, a former Met, rather than Terry Collins.
White Sox ace Chris Sale, the sidearm-slinging wonder, was fresh off a DL stint for a flexor tendon strain in his left forearm. Not the career-changing labrum surgery that Johan Santana had endured, but still a concern. So Sale took the mound Thursday night at U.S. Cellular Field knowing his pitches were numbered.
At 7:09 p.m. local time, it didn't seem like a big deal. Just Ventura looking out for Sale in his first start back. But after five perfect innings and nine strikeouts, it was beginning to look like a very big deal. At one point, Sale turned to Ventura and said, "You picked a bad night to do something like that."
The Yankees appeared helpless against Sale. He struck out the side in the first and did it again in the third. When contact was made, it was a soft pop-up or feeble grounder, although Yangervis Solarte got a fly ball all the way to center in the fifth.
The clock, however, was ticking. Sale's count was at 73 to start the sixth inning, but John Ryan Murphy helped him by grounding out on the first pitch. Brendan Ryan's liner was the second out. But Zoilo Almonte ripped a two-seam fastball into centerfield for a solid single.
Ventura exhaled. Oddly enough, so did Sale.
"I don't think I've ever been more excited to give up a hit in my life," Sale said. "We had a plan. Do I like it? No. Do I respect it? Absolutely."

Afterward, it was easy for Ventura to say he would have pulled Sale regardless of whether the perfect game was intact. By then, this debate was a moot point. Ventura refused to divulge what Sale's pitch count actually was -- "I'm not going to tell you the number," he said -- but made it clear that Sale was not going the distance, even with history at stake. Sale finished with 86 pitches in six innings.
Ventura's opening line to his postgame news conference?
"He would not have thrown a perfect game," he said, smiling. "I can tell you that much. You have to stick to the plan."
Ah, yes, the plan. Two years ago, Collins was in a similar spot with Santana, who had missed the entire 2011 season rehabbing from shoulder surgery and was trying to ease back into full-time ace duty again. Depending on how you look back on it now, June 1 was either a magical night or a tragic one for the Mets, who got their long-awaited no-hitter but lost the $137.5-million cornerstone of the rotation.
By allowing Santana to throw 134 pitches, shoulder be damned, Collins helped him make franchise history. But knowing the possible consequences, he also had the power to take the ball away from Santana, and the decision not to do that haunts Collins to this day.
Before that night, Santana had passed the century mark in three starts, with a previous high of 108. He also was coming off back-to-back 96-pitch outings.
Did the no-hitter do irreparable damage? We know Santana was never the same afterward and that he wound up needing surgery again for a second labrum tear in the same shoulder.
This year, Santana is trying to make yet another comeback pitching in the Orioles' organization. He threw 48 pitches during an extended spring training game Thursday in Sarasota. He has yet to crack 90 mph with his fastball.
If we've learned anything in 2014, it's that pitchers get hurt a lot, some of them seriously. Many times, a plan can prevent that from happening. Other times, they get hurt anyway.
As Sale kept spinning the Yankees around in the batter's box, watching them flail away, he harbored no illusions of anything greater than a simple W. But he still made history. He became the first pitcher in at least 100 years to strike out 10 without allowing a run or walk -- and one hit or fewer -- against the Yankees.
Ninety-nine times out of 100, Almonte's hit would have wrecked everything for Sale and the White Sox. But because of the plan, Almonte changed nothing. And the White Sox seemed happier for it.
"I was relieved," Ventura said.
Knowing Sale, he'll get another chance.

}

A: como um axioma da programação, recomendo que feche o arquivo no mesmo escopo em que foi aberto, a menos que você execute um "do {} white (...)" não há certeza de que o fclose será chamado...
e se você estiver compilado para windows, rename não irá funcionar, invés disto, no windows use:
#include <fileapi.h>
MoveFileA(char*,char*)
ou
MoveFileW(wchar*,wchar*)

apesar de declarado, no windows não é funcional, assim como outras funções que usadas para enumerar arquivos de uma pasta, e o próprio remove (no caso de diretórios).
*obs.: se achar que está faltando algo no arquivo... pode ser um sinal, que você esqueceu ele aberto, as vezes as ultimas alterações em um arquivo que não foi fechado não são salvas.

AIG Bid For Insolvent Korean Brokerages Hits A Snag.
Portfolio > Investment VIPs
August 30, 2001 at 08:00 PM Share & Print
NU Online News Service, Aug. 30, 5:20 p.m. – American International Group Inc., New York, and the Hyundai Business Group, Seoul, are finding themselves at odds after AIG threatened to withdraw its bid to take over three insolvent financial units in the Korean conglomerate if its price demands are not met.
Before signing a memorandum of understanding, the two parties agreed AIG would pay $6.96, or 8,940 won, for each new share Hyundai will issue. AIG is demanding that the price be cut to $5.45, or 7,000 won.
Hong Wan-soon, president of Hyundai Securities Company, says the Hyundai board of directors has already approved the initially set price.
"A cut in the price is impossible," Hong announced in a press release.
Representatives for two other Hyundai units AIG is bidding for, Hyundai Investment Trust & Securities Company, and Hyundai Investment Trust Management Company, were not immediately available for comment.

Q: 'TypeError: catching classes that do not inherit from BaseException is not allowed' when trying to mock an exception I am trying to test a block of code which interacts with the Amazon Forecast service, which looks very similar to the example provided at https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-forecast-samples/blob/master/ml_ops/visualization_blog/lambdas/createdataset/dataset.py.
More specifically, I am trying to test that I am handling the exception properly. Assuming 'forecast' is the Amazon Forecast boto3 client, the code is structured as follows:
def example_function(dataset):
    try:
        forecast.describe_dataset(dataset)
        #do some stuff
    except forecast.exceptions.ResourceNotFoundException:
        #do other stuff

I have a test case which looks like this:
from moto.forecast.exceptions import ResourceNotFoundException

@patch('forecast client')
def test(self, mock_forecast):
    mock_forecast.describe_dataset.side_effect = ResourceNotFoundException
    example_function(dataset)

This produces the 'TypeError: catching classes that do not inherit from BaseException is not allowed' which is confusing me, as moto.forecast.exceptions.ResourceNotFoundException inherits the moto class 'AWSError', which in turn inherits 'Exception'.
I am fairly at a loss as to how to test the 'except' block of my code without actually interacting with the forecast service if I am not able to set a side_effect as an Exception. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

A: The problem probably is you overwritten the original forecast object with a mock and it returns a mock object to forecast.exceptions.ResourceNotFoundException in the example function when checking the exception branches.
So you have to modify the test to something like this:
from moto.forecast.exceptions import ResourceNotFoundException

@patch('forecast client')
def test(self, mock_forecast):
    mock_forecast.exceptions.ResourceNotFoundException = ResourceNotFoundException
    mock_forecast.describe_dataset.side_effect = ResourceNotFoundException("Exception message")
    example_function(dataset)

Britain's incoming PM: Tough stance on Brexit, bonuses and employee representation
TMT News & Research: 2020 Recap
Quibi's $2 billion bet on mobile video fizzles out
Author David Hutter
Theme MetalsReal EstateTechnology, Media & TelecomBankingInsurance
Themarkets — and the British press— welcomed the announcement that Theresa May will become Britain's newprime minister, but executives of banks and other companies might be less keenon her plans to put staff representatives in boardrooms and give shareholdersthe right to block bonuses.
Sterlingrose by about 1.5 cents against the euro and nearly 2.5 cents against thedollar, to about €1.18 and $1.32, respectively, in the 24 hours after it becameclear at around noon London time on July 11 that May, the U.K.'s homesecretary, would succeed David Cameron. Her move into 10 Downing Street is nowexpected for July 13, but just a few hours before it transpired that herappointment as PM was imminent she gave a campaign speech that highlighted somekey policies of a politician who TheGuardian deemed "a known unknown."
'Brexit means Brexit'
Themost pressing issue May will have to deal with is . Somewhat ironically, given thatshe supported the Remain camp in the run-up to Britain's EU referendum, shewill now be charged with leading the U.K. out of the union.
DavidCameron has notinitiated formal exit negotiations, and high-profile Brexit campaigners BorisJohnson and Nigel Farage have stood aside following . Some high-profile financialfigures have suggested Brexit may not happen, with CEO Jamie Dimonraisingthe possibility of the Leave vote being reversed, according to Italy's Il Sole 24 Ore, and Austrian FinanceMinister Hans Jörg Schelling tellingGermany's Handelsblatt that the U.K.would end up staying in the EU.
Yetin her speech, May said "Brexit means Brexit" and denouncedpoliticians "who suggest the government should find a way of ignoring thereferendum result."
"Therewill be no attempts to remain inside the EU, no attempts to rejoin it by theback door, and no second referendum," she said.
Thisleaves the question about what kind of balance May — who is generally perceivedas taking a hard stance on immigration and who has not ruled out that EUcitizens living in the U.K. may be deported— wants to strike between the U.K. retaining access to the EU's single marketand restricting the movement of the bloc's citizens. In a July 11 opinionpiece, the Financial Times said shehas not yet indicated her solution to this conundrum, and highlighted that Maywould not trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty — which is the starting pointfor the official exit negotiations — until early 2017.
Changes to business governance
Mayaims to deliver "serious social reform" that would mean getting"tough on irresponsible behavior in big business," shesaid during her July 11 speech. "I want to see changes in the way that bigbusiness is governed."
Herplans envision employees being represented on company boards because thescrutiny nonexecutive directors currently provide "is just not goodenough" due to the fact that they are drawn from "the same, narrowsocial and professional circles as the executive team."
Inaddition, May — who started her career at the and also worked forthe Association for Payment Clearing Services, the precursor of the UK PaymentsAdministration, which supports payment systems such as Bacs and CHAPS — wantsto reduce the "irrational, unhealthy and growing gap between what [big]companies pay their workers and what they pay their bosses."
Tothis end, shareholder votes on corporate pay should become binding rather thanjust advisory, she said, adding that she wants bosses' bonuses to be"better aligned with the long-term interests of the company and itsshareholders."
Suchmeasures do not go against the ethos of the Conservatives as "the party ofenterprise," May said; they merely show the party is opposed to an"anything goes" mentality.
Mayalso said July 11 that her government would "do something" about"retail banks [that] are abusing their roles in highly consolidatedmarkets" and reminded big corporations of their responsibility to paytaxes.
"Asprime minister, I will crack down on individual and corporate tax avoidance andevasion," she said.
Buther apparently tough stance on big businesses comes together with a votingrecord that may actually indicate a bias toward them, The Independent said July 11. According to the newspaper's report,she opposed a 2011 proposal to use bankers' bonuses to create jobs for youngpeople, while as recently as April she vetoed several proposals that wereintended to crack down on tax evasion and avoidance.

Landing in 1925, the Doctor is mistaken for a cricketer with the nickname of "doctor" for the local cricket team captained by Lord Cranleigh. Winning the game for them, The Doctor and his companions are invited back to stay at Cranleigh hall Nyssa meeting her physical double Ann Talbot who is engaged to Lord Cranleigh.
In another part of the house a bound and gagged figure frees itself and knocks out his keeper an Amazonian Indian. The escaped figure enters the main part of the house through a secret panel and steals the Doctor's Harlequin costume. While investigating the secret panel the Doctor gets locked into the secret part of the house.

Black Orchid REVIEWS
Now onto someone who actually likes 80's Who. Black Orchid was a breath of fresh air back in '82.
The first historical story in 15 years and the first two parter in 7 years think they should've tried to keep up the purely historical story without any sci-fi elements for every season as they would've had to work harder to make them more interesting and the Master would've turned up less frequently. Black orchid is a good distraction. The Tardis crew seem to blend right into 1920's Earth especially when they conveniently land on a train platform and a Chauffeur has a car waiting to pick up 'the doctor'. Then we see Davison's prowess as the cricket Dr, he can bat, catch and bowl like any of the greats - ok take out the camera angles and editing and some of them are pretty easily set up by the production crew to make him look good but it's a nice diversion.
So the 'ol case of mistaken identity and the the Doc's impressive cricketing win for Lord Cranleigh endears them to the local gentry who welcome them as their guests plus Sarah Sutton finally gets a bit more to do playing both Nyssa and Lord Cranleigh's fiancee` who happens to be her exact physical double, so you can see where the story is going. Especially when it turns out there's a gurgling maniac constantly tied up in the attic of the gent's mansion who manages to get free and befuddle everyone, incriminate the Dr and molest Nyssa. Still it looks like the whole cast and crew have immense fun in this one and their enjoyability shows off well especially for Janet Fielding and Sarah Sutton in the party scenes, not so for Waterhouse who looks miserable and has probably just been told he's going to bite the bullet in 4 episodes time.
The silent scenes showing the Indian with the lip and the unseen and mostly masked George Cranleigh are spooky and his scarred makeup when finally revealed was very effective and realistic, looks pretty nasty. As with all who-done-it's or rather whose-doing-it mysteries after you know the end result what's the point of watching it again. Thus 'ol George meets his end, Hunchback Of Notre` Dame style falling from a roof and the crew depart happily after the doctor has convinced everyone in the local area he's time traveller not a murderer by showing them all round the Tardis.
Must be the first incarnation to try and get out of trouble by just telling the truth and showing all the locals inside the Tardis. A good interlude this one, as this is what it set out to be and nothing more. Especially as the Beeb again pulls out their specialty in doing period pieces yet again. For Black Orchid, mines a topping 8.5/10.
"Okay, we have a Doctor who is interested in cricket....QUICK!!! SOMEONE WRITE A SCRIPT ABOUT IT!!!" That's how Black Orchid came about
There is a consensus around the fandom traps that Black Orchid is a harmless little Doctor Who story. I'd go with that cos its "harmless" insomuch that it does NOTHING WHATSOEVER. Its suppose to be a showcase for the Fifth Doctor and be all about HIM and what he does.
Lets take the Doctor's fetish for cricket. He says himself on the way out to the pitch that he's a fast bowler. Then you see him actually bowl and.........yeah. That's real fast Doc. Even I could bowl faster than that and I throw like a freakin' girl. Then there is his whole problem solving abilities and intelligence quota. Sure, this Doctor is really put through the hoops considering he can't find his way out of a bloody corridor! How long was he in there? Half? Three quarters of the episode? Then there is his (apparently) alien-ess quality about being the Doctor. Could you imagine any other Doctor letting half the bloody police force into the Tardis and then happily giving them a joy ride round the country in it? Speaking of which, how do the coppers know what a police box is anyway? Check your dates boys, they weren't invented at the time this story was set.
Then there is Nyssa who spends most of the story yapping with her double who just happens to be four inches taller than her. By the way, what was the point of that plot device? Tegan flirts with some git who is old enough to be her father (whereas in the previous story we had someone who acted just like Eric Heyes, now we have someone who bloody LOOKS like him! Dopplegangers all round, I say!) And Adric will be dead in a few episodes time so the less said the better. Other than he dies.
The whole Whodunnit plot is a little lame too considering we all know who the murderer is from the outset; he's the dude in the brown brogues, tan pants and breathing problem. So that rules out.........everyone really. Except for the dude in the brown brogues, tan pants and breathing problem.
Probably the best scene in Black Orchid for me is the final scene. George Cranleigh goes I'm-A-Teapot off the rooftop of Cranleigh Manor and ends up pear-shaped on the ground below so its funeral fun all round. Cut to after wards and we're back at the Tardis and everyone is in their funeral finest. Well, not everyone cos the Doctor and co are still dressed up in their regular attire so I'm guessing that's how they went to the funeral in the first place. And if that isn't insensitive enough, during the dramatic and awkward pause after Lady Cranleigh says "Thanks for stopping by", good ol' Tegan blurts out the series most tactless line ever.......
"THANKS FOR THE COSTUMES!!!"
You go, girl. 5/10
You know, Black ORchid shouldn't work. It's the first 2 parter since "The two parter experiment" 8 years ago, where the experiment found that 2 parts isn't really long enough to develop a story with a decent threat. And on top of that it's the first story that we've seen where there's no science fiction in it at all (apart from the TARDIS). But somehow Black Orchid works!
Although I do have a bit of a gripe - and that's with the cricket thing. It's not that I didn't like it - the bringing together of two of my favourite things (cricket and who) is awesome... but you have to do it right. They almost did - but for two things. Twice when sixes are hit (one by the Doctor, and one where the Doctor arrives in that cool car), the umpire signals wide. And the other one is Terence Dudley's fault for not doing his homework. As hinted in the review for Four to Doomsday, the Doctor says he bowls a mean chinaman... which is a left arm, wrist spinning googly. But now he bowls "fast"... and it is right arm... same writer... do your homework Mr Dudley or you'll end up being assigned to writing a shitty spin off with K9...
OK, enough of being picky... cos other than this we get a nice little character piece, with a tacked on murder mystery. While some could view it like this little review I found on the net :-
"So why make this program? So Peter Davison could show off his cricket skills? So Sarah Sutton could play a duel role? So Janet Fielding could show off her figure while dancing the Charleston? So Adric could stuff is face? So we can understand that it-is-not-nice-to-lock-away-your-deranged-and-deformed-eldest-son-so-his-fiancé-can-marry-his-brother?"
I just think Black Orhid's a nice break, which also gives us some little insights into each of the characters... it would be a good introduction episode to the era (which could be why they chose to play this first up in the 4:30am early 90s run, and then jump straight to Black Orchid again after finishing Invasion of Time - or maybe it was just cos they had a whole heap of repeat rights they wanted to run out!). You get the Doctor (yes he plays cricket), but you get the quintessential Doctor line "why do I do this... why didn't I just leave after the cricket game" - which tells you a hell of a lot about the Doctor's curiosity... cos he does it every week! You get Adric - this is probably my favourite Adric episode, cos it sums up his awkwardness... he can't dance with Nyssa and he'd rather eat shit loads... man, that was me to a tee! Tegan and Nyssa also begin to let their hair down - especially Tegan and her carry on with Sir Robert (Sir Robert Muir... Robert Muir was a nutcase who played for St Kilda around the same time.
And then, in the last minute of the first part, we finally get to the story - which makes a lot more sense watching the version on UK TV, as they haven't edited out the strangling of the Butler! I always wondered what the hell had happened - all we used to get was a dodgy big cut when they dance into the hallway, and then a weird moment taken from "Greatest Show in the Galaxy"! The rest of the story is a nice little who dunnit... I mean we know it's "the guy with the Indian", but we learn a bit more about him, and how he got his deformity, and why he's doing what he's doing. It's a little tragic, and it's not really Who, but it still works as a bit of a change. black Orchid score:
Return from Black Orchid to Dr Who Classic Series


As many of you all know I picked up a new hobby last year, running. So this year, I decided to get my Forrest Gump on and run the Chicago Marathon. I tried to enter through the lottery, however the powers that be hated on me (I think they didn't want me to beat the Kenyans!) and my number wasn't pulled. But, this will not deter me. I have entered the marathon via charity.
Different charities were catching my eye, but this one charity- run domestic violence out of town- pulled at my heart. Be it for the way domestic violence has been covered in the media as of late, or the very personal reason in my life, I felt the need to raise money for these organization to help raise awareness and support for the survivors of domestic violence.
So whatever you can give, spare, hand out (or any other word that would describe to support) I would greatly appreciate it.
There is a lot of pain when training for a marathon, but I know that pain is small compared to those who have experienced domestic violence. I run for them, and I hope you will support me in that cause.

The suppression of reflection at surfaces is of interest for numerous optical applications. One very interesting approach of controlling the reflection at surfaces is the usage of anti-reflective nano- and micro-structures, which are motivated by nature (moth-eye). These structures with feature sizes in the sub-wavelength domain exhibit unique properties concerning wavelength and angular dependency. In this document, the analysis and design of deterministic anti-reflective structures in VirtualLab Fusion is presented.


BEVERLY, Mass. – The Endicott men's ice hockey team hosted Wentworth for a Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) contest and came away with a hard-fought 5-4 victory.
The Gulls opened the first period with a goal from James Winkler (York, Maine) just 35 seconds into the game. Wentworth responded with two tallies to take the 2-1 advantage but Endicott's Josh Bowes (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) found the back of the net with 50 seconds remaining in the frame to tie the game at 2-2.
The second period was much like the first as both teams scored twice to once again have a knotted score. Both of Endicott's second-period goals came from Ross Olsson (Billerica, Mass.), while the Leopards saw tallies from Georgy Gorodetsky (Yekaterinburg, Russia) and Jake McKenelley (Middleton, Mass.).
With five minutes remaining in regulation, Carter Horwitz (Tustin, Calif.) netted the eventual game-winner with help from Hunter Luhmann (Lebanon, N.H.) and Tommy Besinger (Milton, Mass.).
Mark Specia (Ringwood, N.J.) recorded 30 saves between the pipes for the Gulls and improves to 3-0-0 on the season.
Endicott leads the all-time series with a 7-1-0 record against the Leopards.
Besinger finished the night with a team-leading three assists. Daniel Kucerovy (Bethel Park, Pa.) was credited with two assists, while Jason Kalinowski (Stamford, Conn.), Ryan Dougherty (Sterling Heights, Mich.), Horwitz, and Luhman each had one.
The Gulls held a 46-34 shot advantage throughout the contest.
Endicott was 1-for-3 on the power play, while Wentworth was 2-for-5.
Bowes' goal (19:10, 2nd) came shorthanded and was his seventh career shorthanded tally.
Endicott (5-3-1, 4-3-0 CCC) travels to the University of New England on Saturday, Dec. 1 for a 7 PM CCC contest. Wentworth (3-5-4, 3-3-1 CCC) hosts Curry at 5 PM on Saturday, Dec. 1.


On behalf of Philip A. Greenberg, P.C., Attorneys at Law posted in Child Custody on Friday, June 29, 2012.
Disputes between ex-spouses and former partners can become quite contentious. When children are brought into the middle of such disputes, their emotional and mental health can suffer. And sometimes their very life is in danger.
One way ex-spouses and partners sometimes put children in the middle of disputes is to kidnap them. Kidnapping isn't necessarily a dramatic occurrence. Kidnapping can occur when one parent takes and conceals a child from the other parent, often for any length of time. The possible motivations for doing so are multiple: to force some kind of reconciliation or continued interaction; to spite the other parent; out of fear of losing custody or visitation rights; or even to protect the child from a parent who is felt to be a negative influence or a danger. Regardless of the motivations, it is not okay.
Typically it is noncustodial parents that kidnap children and have to face consequences. But according to a recent decision by New York's highest court, even a custodial parent can be convicted of kidnapping. The recent decision arose from a case in which a father was convicted of kidnapping, burglary, weapon possession, and child endangerment in connection with a 2008 incident at the home of his young daughter's mother, his ex girlfriend.
The father was accused of holding his 6-week-old daughter under a knife after police arrived to investigate a domestic dispute between him and his former girlfriend's home the night before. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison as a result of the incident.
According to the court, a custodial parent can be convicted of kidnapping where that parent's conduct is "unjustifiably dangerous or harmful to the child [so] as to be inconsistent with the idea of lawful custody."
Parents facing a situation where kidnapping could be a possibility do well to contact an attorney to find out what their options are for protecting their children.

Howland Island National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1974 by the Secretary of the Interior and expanded in 2009 to include submerged lands out to 12 nautical miles from the island. The Refuge includes 410,999 acres, of which 648 acres are terrestrial and 410,351 acres are submerged. A shallow fringing coral reef surrounds the island, but most of the submerged area is deep coral and other unexplored habitats.
On January 6, 2009, the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument was established, which includes Howland Island National Wildlife Refuge within its boundaries.
The island is uninhabited, and entry is by permit only. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service personnel visit Howland about every 2 years, though occasionally scientists and researchers team up to share transportation costs to the island more frequently. Located 1,815 nautical miles southwest of Honolulu, it is only accessible by an 8-day ship voyage.
The colonization project continued until January 1942 after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and several American territories, including Howland, Baker, and Jarvis. On December 8, 1941 Howland was bombed and 2 colonists were killed. Attacks also took place on December 10th and then on January 5th and 24th, 1942. Colonists on Howland and Baker Islands were not rescued until January 31, 1942 and the last colonists were not evacuated from Jarvis and Enderbury until February 9, 1942. The project and the group of young men that were assigned to these expeditions became known as the Hui Panala'au.

SBOE ESSA Task Force to Explore New School Report Card
Agenda for December 11 meeting released
Washington, DC - On Tuesday, December 11, the DC State Board of Education (SBOE) will hold its next Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Task Force meeting at 6 pm in Room 1117 at 441 Fourth St. NW. Task Force members will convene to explore the new DC school report cards released today. Representatives from the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) will join the meeting to assist in navigating the site and respond to any questions that arise.
Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser announced the launch of the first annual DC School Report Card and School Transparency and Reporting (STAR) Framework. The new interactive data-driven website provides students, families, and educators clear and detailed information to better understand how every DC public and public charter school is performing. DC families now have access to easy, clear, and meaningful information about schools in order to make the best decisions for their children. The State Board of Education and its ESSA Task Force worked with OSSE over the last year to bring parents and families together to help create the report cards.
Members of the public may attend and observe all task force meetings, but are not permitted to speak or participate during these sessions. Individuals and representatives of organizations may submit written testimony or information for consideration by the task force by emailing [email protected]. The task force meeting will be streamed live via Periscope for those community members who are unable to attend in person. For the latest updates on the task force's work, please visit sboe.dc.gov/essa.
About the SBOE
The DC State Board of Education is an independent agency within the Government of the District of Columbia that advises the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE), the District's state education agency. The State Board is comprised of nine elected representatives, each representing their respective wards, with one member representing DC at large, and two appointed student representatives. The State Board approves statewide education policies and sets academic standards, while OSSE oversees education within the District and manages federal education funding.

Unai Emery's First Arsenal Pre-season Review
Read an analysis on how the gunners have performed in their pre-season campaign so far as Unai Emery tries to bring his philosophies to the North London club.
Richard St.Michaels-Ojei
( Arsenal Fans in Singapore )
Arsenal put five past PSG and conceded one.The match was the gunners second match and last match in Singapore but they still have one more International Champions Cup match against Chelsea in the coming days and it will take place in Ireland.Whilst many Arsenal fans are excited about the result after their team's loss to Atletico Madrid, Arsenal's team Manager has other ideas about his team's pre-season preparations.
Unai Emery said in his pre-match press conference in the morning that today's match will also be about his team continuing preparations for the upcoming season which starts in August and said that he hopes that every player to work on his tactical side of the game.
Here's a manager whose primary concern is to put his team through their paces and concentrate on bringing them to speed in terms of their fitness level and tactical prowess.On the tactical aspect,he had this to say;
"Now, for me, it's the moment to work on tactical things, to work on getting every player up to speed. The result isn't the most important thing for me right now, it's other things. It's all about the positioning, the movement on the pitch, the individual quality and the combinations together." he told arsenal.com.
From the Arsenal team coach we can only deduce that the Arsenal team is still work in progress"
The team is in its transformation phase.In the PSG and Atletico match, we can see the team lacks that cutting edge and killing instincts needed to finish their opponents in front of goal(despite putting 5 goals past the PSG defence) .This has been the gunner's Achilles heel during the Wenger era ,"Possession without result".
And I believe that this is what Unai Emery is trying to fix.It's not freedom yet but the team will slowly but surely get there.
Arsenal Players VS PSG in Singapore
For the PSG team, the young lads gave a very good account of themselves despite the heavy defeat to Arsenal. It could be said that they were without majority if not all of their first team players due to the World Cup.
It was a good match no doubt between both teams.It gave the fans the opportunity to discover some exciting talents that abound in both teams.The stars of the near future.That's what the Pre-season is all about.
For Arsenal, it 's a meeting with Chelsea on Wednesday. Two Premier League giants.So until then have a splendid day ahead.

No. 2 Kentucky handles Eastern Kentucky 91-49
Associated PressNov 8, 2019, 9:48 PM EST
Andy Lyons/Getty Images
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Nick Richards had 21 points and 10 rebounds, Immanuel Quickley added 16 and No. 2 Kentucky scored the game's first 14 points to cruise past Eastern Kentucky 91-49 on Friday night.
Seeking to follow up Tuesday's victory over top-ranked Michigan State, the Wildcats (2-0) made six of their first 10 shots, including a couple of baskets by Richards. The Colonels, meanwhile, missed their first nine attempts before Darius Hicks' three-point play with 12:57 remaining in the first half.
Kentucky had some sloppy stretches that allowed EKU (1-1) to get within 37-23 before regrouping to lead 46-25 at the break. The Wildcats led by 44 in the second half and finished 34 of 62 from the field (55%) and dominated the boards 54-25.
Richards' point total was just four off his career high against Fort Wayne as a freshman. The junior forward also had four blocks.
Nate Sestina had 12 points and 11 rebounds for Kentucky. Ashton Hagans, Keion Brooks Jr. and Kahlil Whitney each added 11 points.
Michael Moreno had 14 points for EKU, which shot 25% and committed 21 turnovers.
The Wildcats played without sophomore forward EJ Montgomery, who was declared out before the game with a right ankle injury sustained against Michigan State.
Kentucky's second win this week should earn the nation's No. 1 ranking when the poll is released Monday.
Eastern Kentucky: Other than a first-half stretch in which the Colonels' shooters found their stroke, it was a generally rough night from the floor. They made just 8 of 33 from beyond the arc and only 8 of 31 from inside.
Kentucky: The Wildcats didn't need big baskets from freshman Tyrese Maxey, who had nine points in 26 minutes after scoring 26 against the Spartans. Plenty contributed to their improved shooting performance and a dominant effort on the glass. The Wildcats improved to 13-0 over the neighboring school, a half hour south of Lexington.
Eastern Kentucky: Hosts Ohio-Chillicothe on Tuesday.
Kentucky: Hosts Evansville on Tuesday.

The Royal Danish CollectionRosenborgC.W. Eckersberg
C.W. Eckersberg
Christian Wilhelm Eckersberg was born in Blåkrog in South Jutland and stands as one of the most important Danish painters of the 19th century. He was an apprentice in several places in Jutland before he began studying at the Academy of Arts in Copenhagen, aged 20 years. Here he took lessons from the painter and architect Nicolai Abildgaard, among others.
Travelling abroad Eckersberg went to Paris, where he became apprenticed with the painter J.L. David. He later travelled to Rome and this was marked by his many drawn and painted prospects of the city and its environs. They are considered the high point of his artistic career and as epochal in the history of Danish landscape painting.
He returned to Copenhagen in 1816 a celebrated national personality and, in 1818, was appointed professor at the Academy of Arts. At Rosenborg there is a portrait of Frederik VI with family. Even though painting of portraits wasn't Eckersberg's forte, his sharp eye has captured the arranged family in an almost photographic manner.
16 Frederik VI's Room
Like Frederik V's Cabinet and Christian VII's Room, this narrow room is one of the interiors designed by Johannes Wiedewelt in 1782-1784.
Frederik VI and family
Frederik VI and Queen Marie with Princesses Caroline and Vilhelmine. Painted by C.W. Eckersberg, 1821.
Bertel Thorvaldsen is one of the most famous sculptors in Denmark. His work was clearly inspired by classiscal Greece and Rome.
Vilhelmine
Princess Vilhelmine was the daughter of Frederik VI and Marie Sophie Frederikke. She was married to Prince Frederik (VII) from 1828 to 1837 and from 1838 to Duke Carl of Schleswig-Holstein.
Marie Sophie Frederikke
Marie Sophie Frederikke became Queen of Denmark in 1808. She was the daughter of Landgrave Carl of Hesse-Kassel and married Frederik (VI) in 1790.
The years towards the middle of the 19th century became increasingly marked by the national conflict between the Danes and Germans in the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. It culminated in the Three Years' War, or the First Schleswig War in 1848-51.
The social and political revolts in Europe in 1848 had ushered in new times for European states, and for Denmark too. But even though the absolute monarchy was abolished with the Constitution of 1849, the monarchy was far from disengaged from power.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the long peaceful period ended. International relations in connection with the Napoleonic Wars made it difficult for Denmark to stay neutral.

A320, Auckland New Zealand, 2017
From SKYbrary Wiki

On 27 October 2017, an Airbus A320 returned to Auckland after advice from ATC that the right engine may have been affected by ingestion of FOD during engine start - a clipboard and paper left just inside the right hand engine by an employee of the airline's ground handling contractor acting as the aircraft loading supervisor. The subsequent inspection found paper throughout the engine and minor damage to an engine fan blade and the fan case attrition liner. The Dispatcher overseeing the departure said she had seen the clipboard inside the engine but assumed it would be retrieved before departure.

On 27 October 2017, an Airbus A320 (VH-VGY) being operated by Jetstar Airways on a scheduled international passenger flight from Auckland to Sydney was climbing through FL 150 when ATC advised that a mislaid clipboard and paperwork may have been ingested into the right engine. After being advised that a piece of sheared metal had been found near the earlier parking position, it was decided to return. An inspection found paper throughout the engine and minor damage to it.
An Investigation was carried out by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB).
It was established that about 10 minutes prior to the eventual departure of the aircraft from its parking gate, the employee of the airline's contracted ground handling provider tasked with loading the aircraft hold had put the last container onto the aircraft and was "organising his paperwork". As it was raining, he reported having decided to put the clipboard to which the paperwork was attached in the right engine to avoid it getting wet and being blown by the wind, intending to retrieve it later. He had then gone to the flight deck, given some paperwork to the flight crew and then proceeded to prepare for the imminent pushback.
During this time, the Dispatcher reported having cleared the ground and servicing equipment from the aircraft vicinity and carried out a 'duty of care' walk-around during which she had noticed the clipboard in the right engine but took no action as she assumed that the loading supervisor would return for it. The subsequent engine start was normal but as the aircraft began to taxi, the loading supervisor realised his clipboard and paperwork were missing and initially thought the Dispatcher had it. When this was found not to be the case, the ground crew returned to where the aircraft had been parked and found paper debris on the ground. They then asked their "operations area" to contact the departed aircraft flight crew. Twelve minutes after the leading hand had first realised he no longer knew where his clipboard was, the aircraft took off.
Soon after this, as the aircraft was climbing through FL 150 with no abnormal engine indications, a call was received from the Auckland APP controller asking the crew to contact the Auckland GND controller direct. The Captain, who had been PF, handed control to the First Officer, made the requested call and was told that the ground crew had lost their paperwork which had been placed in the engine inlet and that paper debris had been found on the apron where the aircraft had been after starting the engines. After making a call to the Company Engineer at Auckland and being told that a piece of sheared metal had been found in the vicinity, he decided to make a precautionary return and landed back after an hour airborne. An inspection of the engine by engineers found minor damage had been caused to one engine fan blade and to the fan case attrition liner.
In respect of the loading supervisor's action, it was noted that ground staff would normally use a metal box on the pushback tractor's loader for sheltering such paperwork in case of adverse weather but on this occasion, the pushback tractor had not yet arrived. The loading supervisor did state that he had not felt any pressure to rush the departure and the Dispatcher stated that she had not viewed the clipboard as a foreign object as it belonged to the loading supervisor and she had assumed that he would retrieve it later, prior to engine start-up. It was noted that "there was no guidance on how paperwork was to be prepared and managed by ground crew during adverse weather conditions".
An internal investigation by the contracted ground handler, Aerocare, found that the Jetstar Airways "Operational Manual" detailed the Dispatcher's responsibilities when conducting the 'duty of care' walk-around and provided details of the actions involved. Whilst there was no explicit requirement to check the engine cowlings/intakes for foreign objects, this Manual did require that all staff operating near an aircraft due to depart must be constantly on the lookout for abnormalities and any seen must be reported to the leading hand or the Supervisor before the departure of the aircraft.
In respect of the communications with flight crew, in this case after it was realised what had probably happened, it was noted that there was no documented procedure by which the ground crew could establish communications with a flight crew in the event of any non-normal or emergency situation, either before or after the aircraft had departed. Also in respect of communications, the Captain stated that he had had to make numerous calls to various agencies in order to obtain more information about the incident which had taken up considerable time. He also stated that "poor communications" had meant that he had been unable to contact the Company Maintenance Controller to discuss the engine's status.
Safety Action taken by Jetstar Airways as a result of the event and known to the Investigation was recorded as the issue of an updated aircraft dispatch procedure, which included:
a specific warning about not placing items in the engine cowling
improved detail around checks and responsibilities
a section on emergency and non-normal procedures
detailed methods for re-establishing communications between ground crew and flight crew such as visually gaining the attention of the flight or contacting them via radio.
The Final Report was published on 27 February 2018. No Safety Recommendations were made.
