I know he re-signed with KTM for another two years. But now he sounds like a rider who burned out or is he again finding excuses for his losses...
Like you said, in that second moto you proved that you can run his pace for ten or twenty minutes. How do you practice that so you can do it the whole way? Is it practicing at a higher intensity across the whole moto? Is there even a way to fix that?
Yeah. Actually it is very hard for me to keep the motivation, especially after fifteen years to train in the week and go one hundred and ten percent like I did five or six years ago. It is fifteen years that I am training every week. Sometimes it is difficult to find the motivation in the week to keep pushing at that pace for forty minutes two times. Sometimes I skip some training. This is not what we need because I know that he is training very hard. It is also not easy to focus for so long time and be consistent always.

I don't blame him, sucks getting old. It doesn't make Herlings better any more than it made Cairoli better than Everts or RD or RV better than Carmichael. No amount of skill beats mother nature...

It sucks for him because his expectations are so high that he can't back down his program a little and still win like before and especially not against a guy like Herlings.
I agree with the post above, lots of guys are going to searching for answers because Herlings is so fast.

Rider talks candidly and it's an excuse? I think a lot of what he said in that interview if you're looking at it objectively (we all know you're not his biggest fan) is plausible and comes across as genuine but don't let that get in the way of your agenda. He's touched on his motivation level a few times over the last year or two, just never so bluntly.
"It is not easy. He is also a big champion and he is pushing very hard and training. All the pieces need to be in the right place to beat him or also to win the GP. It is very difficult, but this is what is challenging me and this is what keeps me going".
That last line doesn't sound like a guy looking to retire?

I'd love to see AC get his 10th World Championships, but he's up against a highly experienced, incredibly talented Young Champion, that is going to get more Championships, so long as he doesn't 'axe' himself (again) . It's going to be a hell of a thing to overcome Herlings.

Damn, did the bullet break him? Or did he expect to give the next two years a go just for fun?
I just notice that first he talks about: the motivation and how he sometimes lacks it, and then suddenly he says that getting his ass kicked is what challenges him and keeps him going. That is contradictory in his story.

He's one of the best, ever. He has nothing left to prove, and if he wants to retire now, then nobody is going to hold it against him. Herlings is going to be damn hard to beat straight up, but nobody is going to discredit his legendary career because the bullet beats him at the tail end of his career.

A champion for the ages! He's been ballin for 15 years. AC is a made man. He's got nothing left to prove. He's rich and has his whole life ahead of him. Motocross is a young mans sport. This is Herings time to ride that edge for as long as he can and hopefully (baring injuries) he will one day have a seat at the big boys table with the greats like AC, RV, RD, Everts, RC etc.

Dude, 95% of the public this weekend was cheering for him this weekend ! Could you even imagine the pressure .. Home track, Home crown, last year he did an awesome race, cameback from end of pack to win the gp.
Just wait till next weekend and we will re talk about it I think
Cairoli is still at the top of his game ,maybe even better as ever before .
Take away Herlings from the results and look how good he still is ... probably would have won all GP's and all moto's ... or are Febvre , Gajser and Desalle a bunch of amateurs ??? Desalle is a 3 time runner up , other 2 are worldchamps too and he still beats em every race , only now there is Herlings who can match him and beat him ...

It's been said before many times but I guess needs saying again....Tony is not American. English is not his language. Sometimes things get misconstrued in the translation. I used to think he was a douchy dickhead til I took off my USA blinders. Why doesn't someone ask RyanV what his opinion of Tony is. I think they hung out a bit during Ryan's ill fated run at the GP's.

I think Cairoli is still super motivated. The only thing he wakes up for and suffer is to get tied or beat Everts record of 10 world titles.
Cairoli resigned for 2 years, that means he will be racing 3 MXGP championship from now, 2018,19,20
He will for sure take at least one off them
Used to like him. But now he has an excuse for every time he doesn't go 1-1. You'd think a rider would become more professional as they get older.

Compare him to the rest of the field and he is still an absolute machine.

The traditional Captain Marvel; art by Publication information (1939–1953) (1972–present) #2 (Feb. Captain Marvel first appeared in Whiz Comics #2 (Feb. After the success of ' new superhero characters and, started its own comics division in 1939, recruiting writer to create several hero characters for the first title in their line, tentatively titled Flash Comics. Besides penning stories featuring,,,,, and for the new book, Parker also wrote a story about a team of six superheroes, each possessing a special power granted to them by a mythological figure. Fawcett Comics' executive director Ralph Daigh decided it would be best to combine the team of six into one hero who would embody all six powers. Parker responded by creating a character he called ' Captain Thunder'.
Staff artist was recruited to design and illustrate Parker's story, rendering it in a direct, somewhat style that became his trademark. 'When Bill Parker and I went to work on Fawcett's first comic book in late 1939, we both saw how poorly written and illustrated the superhero comic books were,' Beck told an interviewer. 'We decided to give our reader a real comic book, drawn in comic-strip style and telling an imaginative story, based not on the hackneyed formulas of the pulp magazine, but going back to the old folk-tales and myths of classic times'. The first issue of the comic book, printed as both Flash Comics #1 and Thrill Comics #1, had a low-print run in the fall of 1939 as an created for advertising and purposes. Shortly after its printing, however, Fawcett found it could not trademark 'Captain Thunder', 'Flash Comics', or 'Thrill Comics', because all three names were already in use.
Consequently, the book was renamed Whiz Comics, and Fawcett artist suggested changing Captain Thunder's name to 'Captain Marvelous', which the editors shortened to 'Captain Marvel'. The in the story were re-lettered to label the hero of the main story as 'Captain Marvel'. Whiz Comics #2 ( Feb. 1940) was published in late 1939. Inspiration [ ]. Whiz Comics #22 (Oct.
1941), featuring Captain Marvel and his young alter-ego, Billy Batson. Inspiration for Captain Marvel came from a number of sources. His visual appearance was modeled after that of, a popular American actor of the period, though comparisons with both and were made as well. ' founder, Wilford H. Fawcett, was nicknamed 'Captain Billy', which inspired the name 'Billy Batson' as well as Marvel's title. Fawcett's earliest magazine was titled Captain Billy's Whiz Bang, which inspired the title Whiz Comics. In addition, Fawcett took several of the elements that had made Superman the first popular comic book superhero (super-strength and speed, science-fiction stories, a mild-mannered reporter alter ego) and incorporated them into Captain Marvel.
Fawcett's circulation director Roscoe Kent Fawcett recalled telling the staff, 'Give me a Superman, only have his other identity be a 10- or 12-year-old boy rather than a man'. Introduction [ ] In addition to introducing the main character and his alter ego, Captain Marvel's first adventure in Whiz Comics #2 also introduced his archenemy, the evil, and found Billy Batson talking his way into a job as an on-air radio reporter.
Captain Marvel was an instant success, with Whiz Comics #2 selling over 500,000 copies. By 1941, he had his own solo series, Captain Marvel Adventures, while he continued to appear in Whiz Comics, as well as periodic appearances in other Fawcett books, including Master Comics. Copyright infringement lawsuit and cancellation [ ]. See also: Through much of the, Captain Marvel proved to be the most popular superhero character of the medium, and his comics outsold all others. Captain Marvel Adventures sold fourteen million copies in 1944, and was at one point being published bi-weekly with a circulation of 1.3 million copies an issue (proclaimed on the cover of issue #19 as being the 'Largest Circulation of Any Comic Magazine'). Part of the reason for this popularity included the inherent wish-fulfillment appeal of the character to children, as well as the and quality of the stories. Billy Batson typically narrated each Captain Marvel story, from his WHIZ radio microphone, relating each story from the perspective of a young boy.
The franchise was expanded to introduce teen spin-off characters to Captain Marvel (who, unlike Billy, remained kids in superhero form) In late 1941 and in 1942, new characters were introduced with Captain Marvel's sidekick in Whiz Comics #25 (1941) and his sister in Captain Marvel Adventures #18. Both Captain Marvel, Jr. And Mary Marvel were given their own eponymous books in addition to appearing as the lead features in Master Comics and Wow Comics, respectively. Captain Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr., and Mary Marvel appeared together in another publication, The Marvel Family. Detective Comics (later known as National Comics Publications, National Periodical Publications, and today known as ) sued both Fawcett Comics and Republic Pictures for in 1941, alleging that Captain Marvel was based on their character Superman.
After seven years of litigation, the case went to trial in 1948. Although the presiding judge decided that Captain Marvel was an infringement, DC was found to be negligent in copyrighting several of their Superman daily, and it was decided that National had abandoned the Superman copyright. As a result, the initial verdict, delivered in 1951, went in Fawcett's favor. National appealed this decision, and Judge declared in 1952 that National's Superman copyright was in fact valid. Judge Hand did not find that the character of Captain Marvel itself was an infringement, but rather that specific stories or super feats could be infringements, and this would have to be determined in a retrial.
He therefore sent the matter back to the lower court for final determination. Instead of retrying the case, however, Fawcett settled with National out of court. The National lawsuit was not the only problem Fawcett faced in regard to Captain Marvel. While Captain Marvel Adventures had been the top-selling comic series during World War II, it suffered declining sales every year after 1945, and, by 1949, it was selling only half its wartime rate. Fawcett tried to revive the popularity of its Captain Marvel series in the early 1950s by introducing elements of the horror comics trend that had gained popularity at the time. Feeling that this decline in the popularity of superhero comics meant that it was no longer worth continuing the fight, Fawcett agreed to permanently cease publication of comics with the Captain Marvel-related characters and to pay National $400,000 in damages.
Fawcett shut down its comics division in the autumn of 1953 and fired its comic book staff. Whiz Comics had ended with issue #155 in June 1953, Captain Marvel Adventures was canceled with #150 (November 1953), and The Marvel Family ended its run with #89 (Jan. Marvelman / Miracleman [ ]. Main article: In the 1950s, a small British publisher,, published a number of reprints of American comic books, including the Captain Marvel series. With the outcome of the National v.
Fawcett lawsuit, L. Miller and Son found their supply of Captain Marvel material abruptly cut off. They requested the help of a British comic writer,, who created a thinly-disguised version of the superhero called.
Captain Marvel, Jr., was adapted to create Young Marvelman, while Mary Marvel had her gender changed to create the male Kid Marvelman. The magic word 'Shazam!' Was replaced with 'Kimota' ('Atomik' spelled backwards). The new characters took over the numbering of the original Captain Marvel's United Kingdom series with issue number #25.
Marvelman ceased publication in 1963, but the character was revived in 1982 by writer in the pages of Warrior Magazine. Beginning in 1985, Moore's black-and-white serialized adventures were reprinted in color by under the new title (as objected to the use of 'Marvel' in the title), and continued publication in the United States after Warrior 's demise.
He had a young human ward named Billy Baxton. This short-lived Captain Marvel was credited in the comic as being 'based on a character created by '. DC Comics revival: Shazam! [ ] When superhero comics became popular again in the mid-1960s in what is now called the ', Fawcett was unable to revive Captain Marvel, having agreed to never publish the character again as part of their 1953 settlement.
Looking for new properties to introduce to the DC Comics line, DC publisher decided to bring the Captain Marvel property back into print, and in 1972 he licensed the characters from Fawcett.

Vitamins and minerals do a body good, but who has time to figure out which foods offer what benefits? This short list of five essential nutrients gives you a good start.
You might be thinking, "Can't I just take supplements?" Sure, you can. However, whole foods offer better benefits, and they're easier for your body to absorb. If you think you don't have time to pull together a healthy meal, think again. Most of the foods you need are perfect for salads, smoothies and snacks. And, many of them pull double duty.
Calcium helps maintain bone mass, regulate blood pressure and lower cholesterol levels. Try to get about three servings a day.
Fiber helps lower your cholesterol and manage your blood sugar. It also keeps your digestive tract moving smoothly. Fiber is filling, and because it's often found in low-calorie foods, it helps you manage your weight. Add high-fiber foods to your meals several times a week.
Magnesium keeps your body's systems firing the way they should. It also keeps your bones and heart strong, regulates your blood sugar levels and fights inflammation. Make an effort to add fruits, veggies and whole grains to your daily diet.
Potassium helps maintain muscle and bone strength, boosts the nervous system and revs up energy levels. It may also help protect against high blood pressure, stroke and kidney disorders. Try to eat 4,200 mg of potassium every day.
Vitamin A keeps your eyes healthy and protects your immune system.
If you're concerned whether you're getting the right amount of vitamins and minerals, your primary care doctor can help you make sure you're getting what you need.

Are licenses irrevocable by default?
I've noticed that some FOSS licenses explicitly mention that they are irrevocable (as long as their conditions are met) and others are silent on this point. Does this matter? Are the licenses that don't mention it revocable at-will? Is the irrevocable term redundant? Or is it affected by other things?
Here's a few licenses that don't mention whether they are irrevocable:
Here are some that explicitly mention irrevocability:
GPL ("...and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met.")
Apache ("...a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to...")
CC-BY ("The licensor cannot revoke these freedoms as long as you follow the license terms.")

There's a similar question on Law.SE but the answer isn't great. – congusbongus Jun 14 '16 at 0:17
Great question! I think this would be most subject to the laws of the country of which the jurisdiction is. Also, that Law answer doesn't seem to go to far in-depth - it would be great to see some excellent answers here :) – Zizouz212 Jun 14 '16 at 1:16
This depends very much on the country and law system that you're interested in. The same license may be irrevocable in one country and revocable in another. It depends a lot on how "offer" and "acceptance" are handled. – Erwin Bolwidt Jun 14 '16 at 9:09
A non-exclusive copyright license (such as most FOSS licenses) can be revoked at any time only if there was no consideration involved. The United States Federal Circuit Court of Appeal took this on in Jacobsen v. Katzer in 2008 and ruled that there is consideration exchanged in the use of FOSS by a licensee. This indicates that an FOSS license that's silent on revocation is likely revocable only for violation of it's conditions.

This is a great answer; I learned a lot. My only recommendation is to include the relevant section about consideration directly in the answer here, which begins with: "Traditionally, copyright owners sold their copyrighted material in exchange for money. The lack of money changing hands in open source licensing should not be presumed to mean that there is no economic consideration, however..." (May I bribe you with a small bounty? :)) – apsillers♦ Jul 18 '16 at 18:08
Wow! The judgment from the case is a pretty good read. Also, I edited your post to define what CAFC is - if the court has a different name, please edit it as such. One other thing, is that you could make this answer even more worthy of the bounty if you could quote various sections of that judgment and expand on the answer (hint hint) :) – Zizouz212 Jul 18 '16 at 23:02
Perhaps a stupid question: what does "consideration involved" mean? – GoodDeeds Oct 26 '18 at 9:49
Two problems (at least) with relying on the Jacobsen case - (1) Federal Circuit opinions in areas of copyright law have almost no precedential value because it is extremely rare for copyright cases to reach them; and (2) the opinion has nothing to do with revoking an existing license. Engaging in armchair lawyering on this or any other topic is a dangerous game. – Peter Moore Jun 25 '20 at 12:00
Since it seems worth having an answer that is explicitly multijurisdictional, I refer people to the article I wrote for LWN on a talk at FOSDEM 2018, given by a trio of actual lawyers, that explicitly addressed this question. While the whole talk was excellent, and remains well worth listening to, the answer to the revocability question was:
In the US, at least for the frequently-used free software licenses ... the license is irrevocable once even partial performance has occurred.
In the UK ... the license is revocable by the licensor until the licensee has relied on it.
In the EU ... the license is probably irrevocable.
If I understand correctly (and I may well not) partial performance is a term of art from contract law, and means that the licensee (ie, you) has done at least some of the things that the licence requires you to do in order to avail yourself of the grant (eg, retaining copyright and licence notices).
But the practical upshot is that in all those jurisdictions, once you've got yourself a copy of the code, and have done the least of things with it, your licence cannot be revoked by the licensor.
IAAL and I will tell you the only possible correct answer to this question is: it depends.
We know for sure that FOSS licenses are not the same as public domain grants, which are irrevocable. With licensed FOSS, the copyright continues to exist and is held by the author(s). The authors can still sue for infringement of the copyright. A license is a defense to infringement, but a license requires consideration, i.e., there must be a contract. (Note contracts are usually governed by STATE law). No contract, no license.
A FOSS license is an example of a unilateral contract. This is a topic that's not encountered that often in modern day legal practice. I don't even pretend to fully understand all its nuances except to say that unilateral contracts CAN generally be revoked by the offeror prior to performance by the other party - the exchange of consideration. Importantly, BOTH parties have to be giving something up. It's not enough for the offeror to get something of value (the promise of a gift is not a contract). Whether the FOSS licensor gains prestige, or a warm and fuzzy feeling, that's all well and good, but there's still no contract unless the other party has given something up too.
What that "something" must be will depend on the wording of the license AND the specific facts, so getting further into that is only hypothetical and speculative. What I do believe is clear though - and this is my personal opinion not legal advice - is that a FOSS license can be revoked as to anyone who has not already used or distributed the FOSS product. In other words, if a FOSS product has been published but only browsed a few times on Github and never actually been used or distributed by anyone else, I think the author could revoke that license going forward and anyone who could not prove that they had accepted the terms of the license and given something of value - or possibly relied on the existence of the license in anticipation of doing so - before the license is revoked would be out of luck. On the other end of the spectrum is a party who has built a business around someone else's FOSS product and complied with all terms of the license (e.g., Ubuntu or Red Hat) - almost certainly this party could not have their license yanked away. But there is a huge range in between those two extremes and no one can tell you for certain what would happen in any particular case until it comes up in real life.
I see people on the Internet argue that "everyone" just "knows" that FOSS licenses are perpetual, and therefore they are. No one thought API definitions were copyrightable until Oracle decided they were, sued Google, and an appeals court agreed with Oracle. (Hopefully the Supreme Court will be correcting that travesty soon.) So while industry understandings can be persuasive, they are by no means conclusive.
In sum, anyone who relies on open source licenses for their business should consult a professional, and, if possible, have a plan B to replace the FOSS if it ever becomes necessary to do so.
(Edit) PS - While this is an old thread, I think this topic is very timely and likely to come up in real life sometime soon. We see for example Redis and other companies, resentful of how much profit other companies are making off of their software, trying to change their licenses to put in poison pills. It's only a matter of time before a prominent FOSS publisher tries to revoke their license completely and tests the waters in court.

You are a lawyer in which country? Chances are that things are different in Paris (France) and in San José (California, USA) or in Moscow (Russia). I heard that some parts of GPLv3 are illegal in France (and that decided the writing of the CeCILL license). BTW, I am employed by CEA but not speaking for it. – Basile Starynkevitch Jun 25 '20 at 13:32
USA. Very good point. Contract law can vary from state to state but also can wildly vary from country to country. The international copyright treaties do provide some uniformity but they give the individual jurisdictions tremendous leeway when it comes to contract rules, which are really what are at issue here. – Peter Moore Jun 25 '20 at 15:22
This has been sitting idle for a while, but I came back upon it just now and happened to notice a similarity among the organizations listed in the Q. I would have just made it a comment, but it's too long. And having converted it to an answer it got even longer for completeness. Maybe it does help you understand what's being asked about, though.
Ignoring the WTFPL which doesn't talk about revocability because they are basically a wordy way of saying "This is Public Domain".
The two organizations that don't say anything about revocability have large staffs of lawyers, who write all their legal stuff; usually for B2B licenses. The others have 0 or 1 lawyer and are mostly concerned with end-user (i.e. consumer) licenses. I understand why this distinction between them results in the different language.
That understanding comes from having worked as support staff at MIT and having talked to one of the MIT licensing lawyers about some code I wrote to do my job and my desire to distribute it with a GPL license. At one stage the MIT lawyer was all set to allow it but with one final question, he had no idea what the phrase "TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW" (which at the time only occurred once and in all caps, now there are several variants in several places) was there for. To his mind having it there meant that the reverse might be true without it. But you obviously can't grant something in the license that is not "permitted by applicable law". So what was it saying? Well, the answer (from FSF's lawyer) was that this was standard required boilerplate in licenses to consumers who are not expected to realize this exemption and have lawyers to research it for them, whereas the MIT lawyer and all the company lawyers he deals with are such lawyers. There was case law (in the consumer realm) that a license without that disclaimer can be dismissed wholesale as an illegal license. Or more accurately chopped into little bits and discarded that way. And, since I was putting it up for FTP (it was pre-web) publicly on the net meant that the consumer oriented text was the right thing.
I expect there is a quite similar story behind the correlation between the irrevocable terminology and the organizations that included it. It may well be one of those case law in the consumer realm but never in B2B licenses differences. In fact, there may be a strong correlation in licenses that have one phrase also having the other.

Discussion in 'Trek Tech' started by Wingsley, Jul 3, 2016.
I have some questions regarding the Enterprise-D, and all Galaxy-class starships in TNG and beyond.
My questions have to do with the shuttlecraft hangars, facilities and whatever craft are housed there.
IIRC, there is supposed to be a shuttle bay house in the "neck", the upper-most part of the secondary hull near the Battle Bridge and where the "neck" connects to the saucer-section. Is this bay a fully functioning shuttle bay, and does it include hangar facilities to house dormant shuttlecraft and other small space vehicles? If so, where are these facilities located, and how large are they? Is this the only bay available for the stardrive section when it is separated from the saucer?
How many bays does the entire Galaxy-class starship have? How many does each section of the ship have while separated?
Is there any indication that there would be enough room in the combined hangars for the ship to house "worker bee"-type craft for repairing the starship in case it is damaged while isolated on the frontier?
Has there ever been any indication in canon about how many starship personnel are assigned to man these bays and hangars, maintain all the small craft there, and manage traffic control?
I recall that in "Contagion", Captain Donald Varley of the U.S.S. Yamato said that 18 people were killed when a forcefield in an open shuttlebay shut down, presumably exposing Yamato crew people to open space. Is this an indication of how many people typically work in at least one shuttle bay?
We've seen that, when starship personnel enter the launch-bay section of such a facility, they enter through heavy doors. Does this imply that ingress-egress at these points is controlled by an airlock?
Has there ever been any indication of how many travel pods or other very small dockyard-style craft are carried by a Galaxy-class ship?
The neck has two side-by-side doors, one wider than the other. Behind these are the supposed Shuttlebays 2 and 3. In fact, these are the bays we actually see from the inside in the various TNG episodes featuring shuttlebay action. There's a big "2" or "3" painted on the floor of the set, varying from ep to ep. Sometimes this is consistent with which bay is supposed to be on which side (as per exterior views of shuttles departing), sometimes not.
Both facilities are the size of the "shuttlebay/cargo hold" set, although we can pretend one is larger than the other by turning a blind eye on certain camera angles (we have to play pretend with the width of the door"s" anyway). There's enough room there for both the Type 6 and Type 15 props simultaneously, or for a guest craft prop next to a hero one; in theory, the bay could perhaps hold four or five of these craft while still leaving some room for the outermost to depart. There is no adjoining "hangar" above or below, or at least there are no hatch seams visible. Nor is there a side door large enough to accommodate even the smaller shuttlepods.
What ops can be performed on the craft is unknown. There are tractor beams available, on pedestals and apparently on booms just outside the door. Apart from that, all we ever see is cargo and passenger loading/offloading, plus diagnostics using tricorders or smallish plug-in instruments. Fueling takes place by unknown means, perhaps even in other facilities altogether - there's no dialogue mention of such.
Three bays are labeled, Bay 1 being atop the saucer and going with it in separation. Bays 2 and 3 remain with the stardrive section. No shuttlecraft action from the stardrive section has taken place after separation, at least not on screen; the saucer bay launched the shuttle that rescued Picard/Locutus in "BoBW" after separation.
No dialogue hints at a fourth bay. OTOH, some cargo holds open directly to space and could obviously be used as shuttlebays.
OTTH, all the shuttlebay and cargo bay sets have a perfectly vertical rectangular door, even though the ship has no vertical outer surfaces. No part of the ship is ever seen through the doors. This would only be possible if we assume all the bays are angled so that their vertical walls match the slanted ones of the outer hull - something of a problem when there's no angle between the bays and the corridors adjoining them! MSDs portray horizontal decks, not slanted ones, and window rows agree.
Bay 1 could hold the Millennium Falcon if need be, and has an unknown internal structure, thus lacking known obstacles to "beehives". Bays 2 and 3 are typically seen fairly extensively and at most house two craft, never a workbee or a hive.
Save for "The Child", where Bay 3 launches a shuttle through an air curtain and several personnel stand around in regular uniforms, operating consoles or spectating, the bays are empty at all times - except when people are embarking, disembarking or performing maintenance. Doesn't mean there wouldn't be unseen people at those upper-level control booths that didn't yet exist for real in "The Child". Their presence for monitoring a launch or a recovery is never indicated to be mandatory, though.
No separate personnel for traffic control are mentioned; Data comments on departures and arrivals, including unauthorized ones. But the people departing without permission all are capable of fooling personnel in addition to machinery - they may have legitimate user privileges or the skills to fake those - so a clean getaway is no proof of the bay having been empty of personnel.
There are no statistics to favor any particular number over another, except for flat zero - heroes typically confront unauthorized users or other shuttle-related mysteries solo, making good dramatic use of the vastness of the empty space to heighten the tension.
We clearly see there are no double doors. Forcefield air curtains are extensively used for the outer doors, though, so a backup airtight inner door makes good sense. An air curtain is in practice a "single-door airlock", of course.
None, alas. We hear of transporters numbering in the dozens, but small craft are never counted. We can get estimates of overall small craft capacity from the evacuation scenario in "Ensigns of Command", but that probably doesn't tell us anything about the smallest craft, incapable of taking passengers and possibly even unsuited to transatmospheric ops.
The TMP/TWOK travel pods were presumably replaced by better transporters, or the more versatile shuttlepods.
The Enterprise's main shuttlebay was also - presumably - large enough to carry at least three Runabouts, as these were offloaded during Emissary. It's possible they were stored in one of the large cargo bays I suppose, but the Enterprise seems to retain at least one Runabout herself - used by Picard and company in Timescape. All indications are that the main shuttlebay is a vast complex.
I'm stunned that nobody seems to think there's an unseen hangar(s) connected to the two bays in the stardrive section. I wonder if there's any room in the adjoining volume of that hull to at least house unused craft, parts, and a maintenance shop. I'd like to think that such a hangar exists in order to make the smaller bays useful in the event of saucer-sep.
In Shane (Lora) Johnson's Star Trek TNG Technical Journal, there is a diagram of Shuttlebay two which has three maintenance bays concealed by "Bulkhead Doors" which presumably are wall sections which slide down to reveal the space. Though I don't recall anything on screen to back this up. But it's a cool idea.
I also would propse that the inner vertical door is of a smaller frame and is inset of the slanted outer doors. Though this too is not indicated by any shot on screen (and I'm willing to bet is contradicted) but it's easy for me to squint and imagine it's that way.
Is it my imagination, or is the "shuttle bay" TNG set two decks tall?
Correct. Although the outer door is only 1 deck tall!
What height are the doors on the Enterprise-D, externally?
Probably a match vertically, but they appear bigger as they are on a slant.
However, it offers a very low margin for clearance on anything but a shuttlepod.
I hated the shuttlebay scenes in TNG- those vertical doors ruined any sense of being on that actual ship. I just wish once- in any of the seven years or the film, they could have shown the main shuttlebay aside from that brief exterior shot in 'Cause and Effect'/ It was a massive bay that would have looked awesome on screen, even as an establishing matte shot.
It has been recreated at least once in CGI- there was a wonderful animated walk through which was posted a while back. It was based on the blueprint set with the massive center structure several decks high and the outside edges filled with storage alcoves for different types of shuttles.
Now, I wonder if anything could be done with a smaller shuttle bay in the secondary hull, maybe including the Battle Bridge and/or Engineering.
Since the inner door is significantly smaller than the larger of the outer ones, this could almost work, and I'm thus willing to do the squint as well. Perhaps both outer doors hide an identical inner bay, but the broader one (#3, starboard) additionally covers a narrow bay for workbees or a personnel airlock or whatever?
The shot from "The Child" cannot be explained this way, as it reveals a sheer unobstructed drop from the lip of the "inner" bay door. Perhaps this is in fact the inner door of Cargo Bay 3, as opposed to that of Shuttlebay 3, and the outer doors are the fan-type ones at the bottom of the secondary hull?
For me, I'm popping for weirdly reflective surfaces on parts of the outside of the ship. The door frames each side (and below) of the outer door are there, but you can't see them because they are reflecting the starfield!
Also, it is far brighter inside the ship than out - that has to make vision deception at times, right?
A mirror for checking out whether you picked up a clean shuttle this morning? A great idea - and might explain why so many shuttles change appearances between launch and actual flight (the heroes caught their mistake in time and made a swift corrective swap).


But the attention should be on the Power, attention should be on the connection that we have with this Power…. Thank God and thank yourself, thank your luck you're so fortunate that you are very few who have achieved this connection, and that you are sucking that Power within yourself so easily….
And you have to trust this Power fully. Those days when people were in difficulties, they were always attacked, they had not got their Self-realisation. They had to put their trust into the divine Power; they had to put. But now when you have got realisation, you have got your freedom, should never forget that you have to trust this divine Power all the time, that it will look after you….
if you're not going all out to use your power of love, then you cannot ascend. So the whole thing if you see it so clearly, the whole power of your Mother is of love.
Whatever She does is out of Her love for Her creation.
The following extracts are from various talks by Shri Mataji, the founder of Sahaja Yoga, where she discusses the meaning of the Guru Principle.
"But we are much above all these ordinary instruments, even the most complicated, even the most advanced and developed by science. Because we reach a state where we ourselves become the science, science of truth, an absolute truth.

Dayton Hamvention 2016, Day 1: Meet and Greets, Cautious Optimism on Parity Act, and Late-day Rain
TAGS: ARRL EXPO, Barry Shelley, dayton hamvention, Dayton Hamvention 2016, elecraft, Rick Roderick
Hamvention has begun! Clouds loomed all day, and finally gave way to rain in the afternoon.
At the ARRL EXPO, Hamvention visitors had the opportunity to meet and greet ARRL leadership like CEO Tom Gallagher, NY2RF; CFO Barry Shelley, N1VXY, and ARRL President Rick Roderick, K5UR. There was also a "Meet the Authors" table, where Glen Popiel, KW5GP – author of High Speed Multimedia for Amateur Radio and Arduino for Ham Radio – and J.K. George, N3BB – author of Contact Sport: A Story of Champions, Airwaves, and a One-Day Race around the World – met and talked with visitors. There was heavy traffic through the ARRL EXPO area, especially in the ARRL store.
Over at the National Parks on the Air exhibit, Sean Kutzko, KX9X, said, "The number of visitors to the NPOTA booth was phenomenal. It was nice to meet so many NPOTA Activators in person after working them on the air from many NPOTA units. Can't wait for tomorrow!"
At the "Ham Radio and the Law" forum, Hudson Division Director Mike Lisenco, N2YBB, discussed the Amateur Radio Parity Act. He said, "Right now I'm cautiously optimistic. We think it stands a good chance of getting through." The bill has 126 cosponsors in the House and five in the Senate. ARRL has been working with the Community Associations Institute for two and a half months trying to negotiate on the bill, and they believe they've reached an agreement in principle.
The ARRL EXPO has an Amateur Radio Parity Act booth, where members can sign letters in support of the Amateur Radio Parity Act to be delivered to Congress. ARRL has already delivered over 16,000 letters. During the forum, Mike Lisenco, N2YBB, said, "It makes a difference when legislators see all those letters from their constituents."
Also at that forum, Kevin Kaufhold, W9GKA; Jim O'Connell, W9WU; Bob Famiglio, K3RF, and Fred Hopengarten, K1VR, spoke about their experiences in real-life legal cases involving ham radio antenna restrictions.
In product news, Elecraft announced their new KX2 portable transceiver. The transceiver is 5.8 by 2.8 by 1.5 inches and weighs 13 ounces. It operates from 80 – 10 meters on nine bands, putting out up to 10 W. The designer of the new KX2, Wayne Burdick, N6KR, explained that it's half the size of the KX3, extremely lightweight, and very portable.
He said, "This is a radio I've wanted since I was about 14...There was a sunspot cycle peak in 1957, and I was born in 1957, and at the time people could stand outside and work Australia with a walkie talkie. I've always had that image in my head."
To cap off the first day of Hamvention 2016, the Spurious Emissions Band played in the Presidential Ballroom at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in the evening. The performance was also available in a live stream online. The band features ham radio-themed covers of popular songs, like "Stand by Your Ham," and "Climber John" (set to the tune of David Bowie's "Space Oddity," aka "Major Tom").
The Hamvention continues through Sunday.

Quite by happenstance blog favorite Charles Winpenny has managed to dominate today's edition, with entries in this section and in 'On This Day in 2002'. Charles has only recently returned from a trip north into Scotland from his home base in the far south west of England. Sigh, he most probably passed through my own hometown of Carlisle, the last city 10 miles before the Anglo-Scottish border. Mostly, except of course to welcome Charles' return and resumption of his web site, this item is for a correspondent in Australia, who expressed a long held desire to spend a vacation afloat after seeing the item on Terry Smith's excursion to Skipton, which is a town on the Leeds-Liverpool Canal.
On his way north Charles stopped off at Lymm, in the English county of Cheshire, which is on the historic Bridgewater Canal. Those who followed the links given yesterday for the abbreviated history, or Mike Clarke's more comprehensive history, will already know the special significance of the Bridgewater Canal.
At the end of his northwards journey, Charles hove to in Fort Augustus. This town is on the Caledonian Canal, which crosses mainland Britain from sea to shining sea. Thomas Telford was the designer: another man revered in the town of Langholm, near to the place of his birth and site of one of his early undertakings, just like astronaut Neil Armstrong, who was the subject of one of yesterday's items. Detailed information on the Scottish canal system is available on the ScottishCanals.co.uk web site.
American artist (1928-1987). This man was considered by many to be the most outrageous artist of his day. Although almost fatally wounded in a 1968 shooting incident by assailant Valerie Solanis, a member of SCUM (Society for Cutting Up Men), his death occurred in 1987 during what was meant to be a routine gall bladder operation. Presumably Valerie was someone who was unable to distinguish between knives and firearms as things of purpose.
One of his paintings and one of his quoted sayings are sufficient singularly to identify him to millions, but his output was vast: naming his studio 'The Factory' acknowledges that industry. His 16mm movies have become underground classics despite requiring an enormous attention span from viewers, such that even we were unable to muster one sufficient.
While we are at the beach we thought we may as well pop down to see Charles Winpenny, whose CornwallCAM.co.uk visited Portreath on the first Saturday in August. Charles also visited Rosewarne, near Camborne, on the following Monday when he was in Marazion and Penzance, where he was able to photograph some beautiful wild poppies. Sight of these always stirs me to write poetry, but as a recent entry in the Guest Book suggests, I am somewhat of a "little hinkey". Ach well, it's just something that I will have to learn to live with, because it's too late to learn new tricks for this old dog.

Cingrani Could Prove Burden to Reds Bullpen: A Fan Perspective
The biggest strength of the Cincinnati Reds for the past two seasons has been their bullpen. No fewer than three Major League closers are on the roster, including Aroldis Chapman, Jonathan Broxton and Sean Marshall.
The case is totally different going into 2014, as the Reds relief corps could actually be a liability. Broxton and Marshall are both coming off of injuries, and Chapman will miss the first month after getting hit in the face with a batted ball late in the spring.
Even if the staff is able to overcome injuries to the big three, the club still faces the problem of overwork. Bronson Arroyo, who averaged almost seven innings per start during his career, left the Reds as a free agent to sign with Arizona.
Arroyo's replacement in the rotation, left hander Tony Cingrani, is not likely to give the Reds as many innings per start. In fact, Cingrani has proven that he is little more than a long reliever.
Cingrani, throughout 2013, was dominant in the first four innings. His career earned run average in the first part of a ball game is just around 3.00, giving him the second best numbers among the team starters.
Unfortunately, Cingrani tires very quickly, as evidenced by the fact that his career ERA goes from 3.06 in the fourth inning to 4.20 in fifth inning. He tends to strike out a lot of hitters, but adding to the trouble are the large number of bases on balls he issues.
High pitch totals have caused Cingrani to average just over five innings per start, as he threw just 97 innings in his 18 starts last season. Arroyo, on the other hand, managed 202 innings in 32 games, nearly seven innings per start.
The result of Cingrani taking the mound every fifth day instead of Arroyo will be an increase of innings for an already injury-plagued bullpen. Perhaps Cincinnati manager Bryan Price, himself a former pitching coach, should consider adopting a two-man fifth starter.
He could schedule Cingrani to pitch the first four innings, and then replace him with Alfredo Simon in the fifth. Simon has already been a spot starter and long reliever, so the combination of him and Cingrani should make an efficient fifth member of the rotation.
Hall of Fame manager Tony LaRussa employed a similar tactic with the Oakland A's back in the mid 90s, when he named three pitchers for each game instead of just the starter. The strategy did not catch on, but this more pragmatic application of it could keep the Reds' bullpen as dominant as it has been the past two seasons.
