On May 23, 1939, the U.S. Navy submarine USS Squalus (SS-192) sank off the coast of New Hampshire during a test dive, causing the death of 24 sailors and two civilian technicians. The remaining 32 sailors and one civilian naval architect were rescued the following day. Four enlisted divers, Chief Machinist's Mate William Badders, Chief Boatswain's Mate Orson L. Crandall, Chief Metalsmith James H. McDonald and Chief Torpedoman John Mihalowski, were awarded the Medal of Honor for their work during the rescue and subsequent salvage. On May 12 1939, following a yard overhaul, Squalus began a series of test dives off Portsmouth, New Hampshire. After successfully completing 18 dives, she went down again off the Isles of Shoals on the morning of May 23. Failure of the main induction valve caused the flooding of the aft torpedo room, both engine rooms, and the crew's quarters, drowning 26 men immediately. Quick action by the crew prevented the other compartments from flooding. Squalus bottomed in 243 ft (74 m) of water. Squalus was initially located by her sister ship, Sculpin. The two submarines were able to communicate using a telephone marker buoy until the cable parted. Divers from the submarine rescue ship Falcon began rescue operations under the direction of the salvage and rescue expert Lieutenant Commander Charles B. "Swede" Momsen, using the new McCann Rescue Chamber. The Senior Medical Officer for the operations was Dr. Charles Wesley Shilling. Overseen by researcher Albert R. Behnke, the divers used recently developed heliox diving schedules and successfully avoided the cognitive impairment symptoms associated with such deep dives, thereby confirming Behnke's theory of nitrogen narcosis. The divers were able to rescue all 33 surviving crew members from the sunken submarine. The navy authorities felt it important to raise her as she incorporated a succession of new design features. With a thorough investigation of why she sank, more confidence could be placed in the new construction, or alteration of existing designs could be undertaken when cheapest and most efficient to do so. Furthermore, given similar previous accidents in Sturgeon and Snapper (indeed, in S-5, as far back as 1920), it was necessary to determine a cause. The salvage of Squalus was commanded by Rear Admiral Cyrus W. Cole, Commander of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, who supervised salvage officer Lieutenant Floyd A. Tusler from the Construction Corps. Tusler's plan was to lift the submarine in three stages to prevent it from rising too quickly, out of control, with one end up, in which case there would be a high likelihood of it sinking again. For 50 days, divers worked to pass cables underneath the submarine and attach pontoons for buoyancy. On July 13, 1939, the stern was raised successfully, but when the men attempted to free the bow from the hard blue clay, the vessel began to rise far too quickly, slipping its cables. Ascending vertically, the submarine broke the surface, and 30 feet (10 m) of the bow reached into the air for not more than ten seconds before she sank once again all the way to the bottom. Momsen said of the mishap, "pontoons were smashed, hoses cut and I might add, hearts were broken." After 20 more days of preparation, with a radically redesigned pontoon and cable arrangement, the next lift was successful, as were two further operations. Squalus was towed into Portsmouth on September 13, and decommissioned on November 15. A total of 628 dives had been made in rescue and salvage operations. Renamed Sailfish on February 9, 1940, she became the first ship of the U.S. Navy named for the sailfish. After reconditioning, repair, and overhaul, she was recommissioned on May 15, 1940 with Lieutenant Commander Morton C. Mumma, Jr. (Annapolis, Class of 1930) in command. With refit completed in mid-September, Sailfish departed Portsmouth on January 16, 1941 and headed for the Pacific. Transiting the Panama Canal, she arrived at Pearl Harbor in early March, after refueling at San Diego. The submarine then sailed west to Manila where she joined the Asiatic Fleet until the attack on Pearl Harbor. During the Pacific War, the captain of the renamed ship issued standing orders if any man on the boat said the word "Squalus", he was to be marooned at the next port of call. This led to crew members referring to their ship as "Squailfish". That went over almost as well; a court martial was threatened for anyone heard using it. The USS Sailfish (SS-192) conducted twelve successful patrols in the Pacific War during World War II, sinking numerous Imperial Japanese vessels.


An awful lot has changed since July 30th! On that camp I was given the opportunity to move out this year, an opportunity which I grabbed with both hands. I've moved to a new city, though not far from home, and will be living with 4 boys, only one of which I know. I've been here 2 weeks already and am just waiting for the others to move in. I have said that I will happily cook, as long as I don't have to do the washing up too. :-D I am definitely taking up too much space in the kitchen though, have already filled about half of the counter space and am filling too many cabinets. Then there's all my cook books and dvds filling up the bookshelf in the lounge....dum de dum. I shall have to re-jig things when they're all in here.
So, I'm going to be a proper student for my last year, how exciting.

Eastwood's Bill Nelson Guitar Guide
To us, Bill Nelson is much more than a guitar legend - he's a friend and a collaborator. Here's a look at all of our Bill Nelson projects (old & new!) plus a look at some of his Eastwood guitars...
Bill Nelson is a true cult guitar-hero. Though he first came to prominence with his 70's band Be Bop Deluxe, Bill still very much remains one of the most creative guitarists around, and an inspiration to many - even though he steers clear from the mainstream. For this reason, many guitarists look up to him, and our collaborations with Bill Nelson are always very popular.
To celebrate the upcoming Bill Nelson Astroluxe Cadet (the best yet???) we'll take a look at all Eastwood guitars Bill Nelson has used over the years... but first, let's talk about that new Astroluxe!
1) ASTROLUXE CADET (Eastwood Customs project - ending February 23rd 2017)
The new (and now fully funded) Bill Nelson Astroluxe Cadet is a truly unique, gorgeous semi-acoustic guitar, and the culmination - so far - of our ongoing collaboration with Bill Nelson.
The guitar is a semi-acoustic style with a slightly arched top and a single f-hole (which features a grille), but this time a double cutaway. The guitar is fitted with three Airline Argyle White Coil Pickups. There's a 3-way switch with volume and tone controls for the neck and bridge pickups, operating like a standard Gibson guitar. With the switch in the center position, the master volume knob operates as a blend between the middle and neck or the middle and bridge.
This model is also available in a DLX version. Crowdfunding ends on February 23 so make sure to guarantee yours while you can - there's no doubt those will become very collectible!
Watch Mike Robinson guide you through the Astroluxe Cadet features:
2) EASTWOOD SATURN 63
Our Saturn 63 was discontinued in 2010, and Bill was one of the players who made sure to grab one! Another quite unique semi-acoustic, based on the model by German brand Hopft, with a slightly Jag-esque offset body. This was the guitar Bill used on our old "I get it" ad campaign. Anyone remember?
3) AIRLINE TWIN TONE WITH TREMOLO
Bill is a big fan of vibrato arms, so he was one of the first to get one of our Airline Twin Tone guitars fitted with tremolo. And, in case you didn't know, we actually now do the Airline Twin Tone DLX model, which comes fitted with Bigsby!
Bill was right: Twin Tones look GREAT with a tremolo...
4) AIRLINE TOWN & COUNTRY
Like many distinguished players, Bill couldn't help but also love the Airline Town & Country, which is still one of our most "upmarket" models, and still one of our favorites! A very stylish Supro reissue that's perfect for whatever style you play - so no wonder it attracted a guitarist as versatile and original as Bill Nelson!
Here's a live video of him using this particular model:
5) AIRLINE MAP DLX
As the main pic of this article shows, Bill Nelson often uses an Airline MAP DLX live. A reissue of the Res-O-Glass model by National, our new MAP has chambered mahogany body and sounds superb.
Here's another live clip of Bill Nelson, now with a MAP:
6) EASTWOOD 1975 MORRIS "THE COSEY"
The reissue of a rare and very desirable Morris Custom, our Eastwood The Cosey was one of our most popular Custom Shop models last year, and we're happy to say Bill Nelson was one of the guitarists who simply had to have one. Great taste, as always, Bill!
7) EASTWOOD BILL NELSON SIGNATURE ASTROLUXE CUSTOM LIMITED
The Astroluxe Custom Limited is our 2014 collaboration with Bill. It's still one of our greatest guitars ever, totally unique, a true work of art! Here's what Bill said at the time:
"As for sound and playability, all I can say is that I'm thrilled with it. Those CC-Rider pickups have a rich vintage tone that works superbly for jazz, blues and rock. I'm really impressed by them—just a great and luxurious sound. The body style is meant to suggest a retro-futuristic take on the big archtops that swing band guitarists of the 1940s were seen with, but it is thin-line like my vintage Gibson 345."
8) EASTWOOD DORAL ARCHTOP
The Eastwood Doral Archtop is a beautiful (now discontinued) jazz-style guitar, with coil-tapped humbuckers. Once again, you can see that Bill Nelson love a beautiful guitar which is also very versatile. When tone meets style, you can't really ask for more!
9) EASTWOOD BACKLUND MODEL 100
Of course, none of us should be surprised by the fact that Bill Nelson loves John Backlund's designs! Nothing more appropriate than an innovative guitarist loving innovative guitars, after all!
One of the great things about the Backlund Model 100 is that it's a really, really well-designed, playable guitar - very comfortable, great balance. Some players might think that a bold design like this would put image above all things, but not at all. It sounds amazing, and is just very comfortable to play. A guitarist like Bill Nelson wouldn't expect anything less, of course, and that's why he uses one live:
10) AIRLINE LAP STEEL
Our reissue Airline Lap Steel guitar is one of the coolest you'll ever find! Bill was quick in getting one, and he said this back in 2009 when he got his:
" It's a little easier to play than my Emmonds pedal steel guitar as it has less strings and no pedals or knee-levers to worry about. However, I'm still getting used to the fact that there are no frets and sliding the steel bar to sound notes of the correct pitch is sometimes a matter of hit and miss! It's a good noise though and I'll be featuring it here and there on future recordings."
11) EASTWOOD WANDRE TRI-LAM
The Eastwood Wandre 'Tri-Lam' is now discontinued, but you can see how it inspired certain aspects of both of our Bill Nelson signature series... so it's not a surprise he also liked the Tri-lam!
The original models were wild and weird electric guitars famous for their original shapes, aluminum necks and unique switches. The guitars were originally designed and manufactured in early 1960s by Pioli in Cavriago, Italy. Very small productions were made, which makes these guitars very sought-after in vintage guitar market.
12) EASTWOOD CALIFORNIA REBEL
And to finish or list, the very cool Eastwood California Rebel, a reissue of a rare 60's model originally targeted at the surf-music scene. It was hybrid of the VOX Phantom, the EKO Violin and the Mosrite. This is the guitar Bill Nelson was photographed with, and he posed alongside David Bowie's guitarist Reeves Gabrels, a few years ago.
...AND A "BILL NELSON" OWNED BY EASTWOOD!
Sorry, everyone, but this one's not for sale! Sitting at our Liverpool HQ, this is a custom Classic 6, hand-painted by Bill Nelson. At the time of writing, we're not planning to sell this baby... so hands off!
- by Ivan S.
For a complete (or as complete as possible!) list of Bill Nelson guitars, including non-Eastwood models, check this blog post on Bill's official website.
Hung up on these silver strings,
Like wings,
Like time machines…
Like voices on the winds…
That is not the only eastwood guitar he has painted. I enjoy my cadet.. Thanks
Greg Williams
lt's no surprise that Bill still has the same phrasing fluidity that drew me to his playing clear back in the early Be Bop Deluxe recordings…beautiful.
Paddy White
Have worshipped Bill since be bop times. Still as awesome as he was then and just as inspirationa. Love Eastwood too. Big time. A marriage made in heaven. Forgive the pun.


St. Louis forward Troy Brouwer nets PPOTN honours for his series-winning goal in Monday night's 3-2 win over Chicago in Game 7.
The veteran sent the Blues to the second round – where they'll face Dallas – with his eighth career postseason tally.
STAT PACK: Brouwer also had one blocked shot, six hits, was a plus-1, registered one takeaway, and took 28 shifts in 18:13 of ice time.
REMEMBER ME?: Brouwer won a Stanley Cup with Chicago 2010. Last night's game was his seventh career Game 7. His winner came at 8:31 of the third period.
THORN IN THEIR SIDE: Brouwer, who appeared in 238 regular-season and 43 playoff games with the Blackhawks, scored his second career game-winning goal against his former team. The first was during the 2015 NHL Winter Classic, where he scored with 12.9 seconds remaining in regulation to lift the Capitals to a 3-2 victory.
MOOSE ON THE LOOSE: Brouwer had a standout Western Hockey League career with the Moose Jaw Warriors. In 2005-06, as team captain, he scored 49 goals and recorded 102 points, winning the Bob Clarke Trophy as the WHL's top scorer.
PERSONAL FAVES: Brouwer's favourite TV show is 'Modern Family' and his favourite sport, other than hockey, is golf.
HONOURABLE MENTIONS: Brian Elliott made 31 saves in the Blues' win. Robby Fabbri and Paul Stastny assisted on Brouwer's goal. James Neal had a goal and an assist as Nashville beat Anaheim 3-1 to force Game 7. Pekka Rinne made 26 saves for the Predators.
Troy Brouwer doesn't get as much attention as some of his high-profile teammates, but his play and contributions at key times in the 2010 playoffs have helped the Blackhawks reach the Stanley Cup Final.


Communication with patients on medications is important for both patient experience HCAHPS scores on the HCAHPS survey AND patient safety.
Data indicates that there is a big disconnect between patient education efforts and what patients are actually learning. A recent survey of patients at discharge showed that when they went home, a third of the patients did not know the purpose of their medications, and that 86% did not know the side effects of their medications. That is a problem.
How do we tackle it? It starts with slowing down the process for administering medications. Take time to allow the patient to ask questions, and give yourself enough time to give complete answers. Make sure that patients are well educated on their medication, and use the same process for every patient, every time. The process consists of four main elements.
It may seem incredibly repetitive to say the name, dosage, purpose, and side effects of each medication every time, but the HCAHPS survey question doesn't ask, "Did the staff member occasionally give those key points for medication?" Rather, it asks, "how often," and the answer should be "always" for every patient, every time.
If your patients can repeat back the name, dosage, purpose, and side effects, you can be sure that they will indicate "always" when asked about medication education on the HCAHPS survey. While the focus of these tactics is on the patient's answer to the survey question, the ultimate end goal is a patient who is more educated on their own medications.


One of the highlights of last week is popping round to the different classes on a Friday morning whilst the Maths Problem solving challenges are being completed. Each week children from Year 3,4,5 and 6 are mixed up into small groups and they then head off to tackle a range of tricky Maths problems. The buzz in the classrooms is always great; I love hearing about which challenges were particularly tricky! Keep up the great work Key Stage 2.

A great thing to remember when diving into your whisky journey is that everyone's palate is different and unique. I might like something and give it magnificent praise, while you might think that it's the worst whisky you've ever had in a cup. We here at scotchNsniff give you notes and reviews in hopes of shedding light about the whisky you buy, rather than the marketing campaigns built to sell the stuff to you. With that having been said, this next bottle for review is brilliant!!
A lot of people assume that the older a whisky is, the better it is and of course that means that it can and must command a higher price tag. [Sniff] and I definitely don't mind paying for the good stuff but we love finding a deal even more. I [Scotch] have found that I really enjoy the 17 year mark. Hibiki 17 year, delicious. The Macallan 17 year fine oak, superb. And now this, the Balvenie 17 yr DoubleWood.
Color: Having spent the majority of the time maturing in traditional oak casks then the last couple months to a year in European Sherry casks, the color is A golden matte bronze with just the edge showing copper.
Nose: I'm initially greeted with the classic Balvenie oak, soft vanilla and honeyed richness. That leads into bing cherries macerated in a liquer, almost like a kirschwasser. There are layers of green apple and turbinado sugar (less molasses-ey). A slight waft of toasted cereal and malted barley are in there after swirling. The nose is inviting and all of the aromas are well married and yet still distinct but showing no edges.
Palate: The first sip of the whisky swirling around my mouth reveals a mexican cinnamon spice, not as harsh as McCormicks cassia cinnamon, along with green almond. Dried apple skins, red and green, coated in rich vanilla toffee. Throughout the entire taste, a very mellow but very pronounced Sherry surfboard carries all of these flavors down a great wave of fruit and spices. Awesome.
Finish: The finish, although awfully short, just keeps you wanting more. There is a light spice and vanilla sherry sweetness that remains but it is short.
This is a fantastic whisky that really shows how deliciously, both the Sherry and the Oak casks, can work together to form a great whisky. The price range seems to fluctuate between $99 to around $130, and for any price within that range, would be a great deal. For a price comparison to an equally great whisky, the Macallan 17 year Fine Oak is $190, but definitely not $70 better.
Just want to say great job on the website and the reviews. My palate seems to be the same as yours so I enjoy reading what you guys enjoy as well. Your reviews r fantastic and understandable, as well as b easy to relate. Keep up the awesome website.

MORWA the Rising Son goes to Germany
(A Theatre performance by Tefo Paya, featuring Thabang Molefe directed by Warren Nebe)
Performance Dates: Stuttgart Germany 13th and 14th May 2022
Botswana Schools Tour April and May 2022
Morwa The Rising Son, is a story about 'Morwa' a Young Motswana on his journey of discovering what it means to be a man. 'Morwa' is a Setswana word meaning son or the male child. The play is based on personal narrative and looks to evoke dialogue around the challenges faced by adolescent boys in Botswana. The play looks to get the youth talking about issues of identity, adolescence and growing up as a teenager in Botswana. This play is relevant to all teenagers, girls and boys, because it unpacks what happens when a child transitions from pre-teens to adult-hood. The play tackles difficult issues of puberty, sex, abuse, violence and trauma. It tackles these issues through Morwa's story, which is filled with lots of humor, sadness, love, pain and overall the challenges of growing up. By experiencing a play like Morwa, audiences are able to get an intimate understanding of the complex issues the youth are dealing with. This then allows for open and honest dialogue, where the youth is encouraged to open up and share their challenges. This dialogue is important in helping to find solutions. Solutions to the problems faced by the youth of Botswana.
The play was created in 2013 and has been performed in Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa. On the 13th and 14th of May 2022 it will be presented at the Schöne Aussicht (Bright View) Festival in Stuttgart, Germany. This will be the first time the play will be performed in Europe and the first play from Botswana to feature at the Festival. The play has been adapted to be more relevant to today's youth. The language used, choice of dance and poetry are some of the elements that have been adapted. The design of the play has also evolved, the aesthetic is reflective of the world that Young Batswana live within.
To coincide with the play being taken to Germany in May, it was decided to take the play to Students across Botswana (aged 15 to 19). In order to achieve this, we have asked for assistance from the public. Tickets for the show are priced at P80 per student and will be sold as 'Sponsor a Student' tickets. The sales from these tickets will cover show costs, logistics, food and accommodation. For us to stage one show, we need to sell a minimum of 60 tickets. We intend to raise enough funds to stage multiple shows in order to reach more students across the country.
For this project to be possible we will be working in partnership with the Botswana Schools Drama Association or better known as BOSSDA. They are a recognised association under the Ministry of Basic Education. BOSSDA is made up of teachers who run drama groups within government schools, from Primary through to Senior Secondary. They will be helping us by facilitating access to students and schools across the country. After each performance there will be a dialogue around the issues raised by the play and the technical aspects of the play. Making the whole experience a great learning opportunity for the students and their teachers.
With the funds raised through ticket sales we will be able to take the play to the students. The shows will happen in the mornings or afternoons, and depending on ticket sales we can do shows for schools in Gaborone and beyond. Our plan is to raise enough funds to do a minimum of 10 performances around the country. Performances will happen throughout April and May 2022.

Welcome, artists and aficionados alike, to the home of The Museum of Forgotten Art Supplies, where tools of the trade that have died or have just about died a slow death are cheerfully exhibited — as well as those that perhaps don't get invited to lunch as much as they used to!
The Museum now features more fun than you deserve, and shows over 700 images of art supply artifacts, all contributed by visitors like you! As always, your comments are appreciated and most welcome.
Note: Recently, there have been reports that some of you have been looking for the Museum – wandering far from your homes, often running out of gas and having to spend the night sleeping in your car. The Museum is NOT a real place with Doric marble columns and a Museum guard named "Pop" with a rusty gun. It's only a dream Lou's having, and he's very happy that you're all in it!
We welcome you to submit images of any ghosts of graphic arts past for our consideration. Click here or hit the submit button below, but please take a look to be sure you're NOT sending a duplicate of something already exhibited. Any interesting packaging or literature is still cool.
So, c'mon in and stay awhile... the coffee's always hot and the waxer's always on!
Back in Olden Times I used to use Saral paper for transferring my sketch to Arches watercolor paper for painting. It didn't have any wax in it, so the line didn't make the gouache paint bead up on it. It came in all different colors, which prove handy depending on your background wash.
Latest Artifact no. 740 and counting!

1. Abstract
This research proposal discusses the working of the combat aircraft nozzle in the first part of the report. A nozzle is a propelling device that propels the aircraft in the desired direction. An aircraft nozzle converts chemical energy to propulsion. NASA had conducted a CFD analysis of the nozzle and had found that an increase in the nozzle geometry results in an increase in the Mach number of the aircraft. The experimental plan revolves around proving that various performance factors (Static Pressure, Static Temperature and Mach Number) changes while travelling from the converging side of the nozzle to the diverging side of the nozzle. Theoretical calculations as well ANSYS simulations will be carried out to prove the theory. After the simulations, small scale 3D printed nozzles would be constructed to carry out real world simulations. Data received from the simulations carried out on these 3D printed nozzles would not only help us to prove the theory but would also help us identify the optimum nozzle design for in-flight performance.
2. Literature Review
A nozzle is a device which is premeditated to regulate the characteristics or direction of a fluid stream as it exits an enclosed tube or chamber. A nozzle can be used to adjust or direct the flow of a fluid. These devices are used to control the rate of flow, path, shape, speed, mass and the compression of the steam that emerges from them. The velocity of fluid may vary according to the energy of its pressure. (Gamble, Terrell and DeFrancesco, 2004)
A propelling nozzle is a device that converts the internal energy of a working gas into propulsive force. These nozzles may have a variable geometry or a fixed geometry to vary the exit area in order to provide the ideal condition required for a particular mission or flight. (Gamble, Terrell and DeFrancesco, 2004)
There are three main types of Nozzles, Converging Nozzle, Diverging Nozzle and Converging-Diverging Nozzle (Straight and Cullom, n.d.). Combat Aircrafts mainly use converging-diverging nozzle as flight performance can be varied with altitude. In a C-D nozzle, the convergent section of the nozzle is connected to a divergent section of the nozzle.
Figure 1: Converging-Diverging Nozzle (Converging Diverging Nozzle, n.d.)
In this nozzle the hot fluid passes through the combustion chamber which narrows down to a minimum area (Throat) and then passes to the divergent section of the nozzle. Choking the flow of the fluid is dependent on the size of the throat (Oswatitsch and Rothstein, n.d.). Generating thrust is the most basic function, but in addition to producing thrust, there are variety of important functions which are in effect because of these nozzles.
TVC or Thrust Vector control is the ability of an aircraft to modify its angular velocity. An aircraft can perform maneuvers or can achieve extraordinary climb rates which are impossible to achieve with conventional control surfaces by the help of TVC. Not only aircrafts but many missiles also use these techniques. Aerodynamic control surfaces become futile if the aircraft or missiles flies outside the atmosphere. Therefore, TVC becomes essential at this point as it would be the only primary source of maneuverability. Thrust Reversal is another useful technique used by aircrafts. By using reverse thrust, an aircraft creates a temporary diversion which diverts the engine's thrust forward rather than backward. This would help in slowing down an aircraft after touchdown. Nozzles also help in the reduction of sound generated due to the reaction of various chemicals inside the nozzle causing thrust. Another function of the nozzle is the suppression of infrared radiation. Infrared radiation signature emitted by the chemical reaction inside the nozzle can be detected by enemy radar. Therefore, enclosing the nozzle in a shroud helps in the absorption of such signatures which enables the aircraft undetectable to enemy radar.

A CFD Analysis was conducted on a C-D Nozzle by varying the throat area. The following conditions of flight are given below:
Three conditions were considered: - Standard Converging-Diverging nozzle, Velocity plot for an increment of 20% area of throat and Velocity Plot for a decrement of 20% area of throat. It was observed that an increase in the nozzle geometry results in an increase in the velocity value (Mach number) and vice versa (Karthikeyan, P. and Masthiraj, N.V., n.d.).
In the current state of affairs, it has been theoretically established on ANSYS Work Bench (Fluent) that in the case of a converging-diverging nozzle, the parameters of flight such as Static Pressure decreases, Temperature inside the nozzle decreases and Mach number increases while travelling from a converging section to a diverging section of the nozzle. However, this has not been practically proven. 3D printing of a small-scale converging-diverging nozzle would have to take place in order to prove or disprove the mentioned hypothesis. Research on the variation of performance levels of the C-D Nozzle with varying altitudes (over-expansion and under-expansion) needs to be undertaken in order to study the effect of atmosphere on the efficiency of nozzles. Theoretical simulations on ANSYS as well as small scale experiments need to be conducted.
3. Experimental Plan
This research will help in understanding the various performance variations of the C-D nozzle at various flight conditions. The various research objectives are given below:
Various performance levels need to be found by conducting simulations (ANSYS).
Small scale 3-D models of the C-D nozzle need to be constructed.
Real world simulation of 3D models needs to be conducted.
All theoretical simulations will be carried out using the ANSYS Work Bench (Fluent). The nozzle will be divided into 4 sections for finer meshing. Structured meshing will be used in order to get accurate results. Standard initialization will be used as the initializing method.
The research will be based on theoretical calculations as well as real world simulations to verify the obtained theoretical results. Using these results, an optimum nozzle design could also be achieved. The ANSYS simulations would be the first stage in conducting the research. In the ANSYS, various parameters such as Static pressure, Static Temperature and Mach Number will be found at different altitudes. This research will deal with overexpansion and under expansion cases. This would give an idea on the ideal conditions as well as an idea on the real-world scenario. The next stage would be to construct 3D printed small scale models in order to test the theoretical hypothesis. If successful, then real scale testing can take place.
4. Data Analysis Plan
There are two ways in which data will be accumulated, firstly theoretical simulations will be carried out and secondly physical small-scale testing data will be carried out. The data received from the theoretical simulations will include Static Pressure, Static Temperature and Mach number at various flight conditions. The theoretical simulations will provide results which would not take efficiency into account. Hence, to take the said factor into account, as mentioned previously, small-scale testing would need to be considered. After successful completion, large-scale testing will need to be carried forward. For each flight condition, four to five runs would be required in order to get accurate results. Averages would then be calculated.
Analyzing data will help to find the appropriate choke area required for optimum performance at various levels of altitudes. It is important to find the optimum choke area as the aircraft can adjust the choke area in-flight to have an ideal performance with ideal efficiency of combustion. After the analysis we would be able to find the optimum nozzle design to facilitate best performance in the case of over-expansion and under-expansion.
This research proposal would be essential to understand the performance factors of a combat aircraft nozzle at various performance scenarios such as under-expansion and over-expansion. This would help us to identify the optimum converging-diverging nozzle design required for optimum performance and efficiency.

In a soon to appear article in the prestigious mathematics journal Mathematische Nachrichten, the Provost and Vice Chancellor of Air Force Institute of Technology, Dr. Sivaguru S. Sritharan and his former National Research Council postdoctoral fellows Dr. Manil T. Mohan and Dr. Sakthivel Kumarasamy will publish a breakthrough advance in the theory of turbulence phenomena in aerodynamics.
Modern perspective on turbulence started with the 1893 paper by Osborn Reynolds and also the papers of A. Kolmogorov in the 1940s. These works assume that the turbulence phenomena can be characterized by a concept called ergodicity which in essence says that statistical time averages converge to averages in the state space and also that there is a well-defined statistically stationary state of the aerodynamic fields. It was conjectured by A. Kolmogorov that subject to suitable noise, the statistically stationary state would be unique and this situation is called ergodicity in mathematics.
In an extensive paper titled "Ergodicity of three dimensional stochastic Navier-Stokes equation subject to Levy noise", Dr. Sritharan and his postdoctoral fellows prove rigorously that the Kolmogorov conjecture for turbulence is indeed true for a general class of jump noise called Levy noise. Many of the turbulence closure models used today in the simulation of turbulent flow rely on this conjecture and the soon to appear paper by Sritharan and his colleagues will resolve this issue decisively, laying a pathway for future research in controlling aerodynamic flows, machine learning of statistically stationary states of turbulent fields, etc.

As the body responds to the immunization, some mild side effects might occur. As long as they begin within two days of the injection, do not last longer than two days, and your child does not look ill, you can treat the symptoms as described below.
Fever > 101° – Approximately 1 in 3 children, may treat with acetaminophen (ibuprofen if > 6 months old) if uncomfortable.
Irritability – 1 in 3 children, may treat with acetaminophen.
Pain at the injection site – 1 in 4 children, massage or acetaminophen as necessary.
Redness at the injection site – 1 in 4 children, apply a warm cloth several times per day.
Swelling at the injection site – 1 in 4 children, *apply a warm cloth several times per day.
Tiredness – 1 in 10 children, no treatment necessary.
* With the 4th and 5th doses of DTaP, 1 in 30 children may get a swollen leg. We always give this shot on one of the legs. Although this can look worrisome, it will resolve without problems. Call us if you are concerned.
We recommend using acetaminophen (Tylenol) to alleviate any discomfort or fever that might come after immunizations. In children over 6 months, you can choose to use ibuprofen (Motrin and Advil) rather than acetaminophen. You can safely follow the instructions on the box. If you want to be safe and double check, the general dosing of Tylenol is 15mg per kg per dose or 7mg per pound per dose (2.2lbs = 1kg). The dosing of Motrin is 10mg per kg per dose or 5mg per pound per dose.
The flu vaccine should be given to any child older than six months, usually in September or October. This needs to be done yearly! Please sign up for our newsletter on our website to know exactly when the flu vaccine is available. We typically host four (or more) Saturday flu clinics every year. The newsletter will also inform you of how many flu vaccinations your child will need. The recommendations are constantly being updated and the newsletter is the best way to stay current.
If you are traveling out of the country, there may be other immunizations that you may need.
Studies clearly show that the best protection against whooping cough and the flu for a newborn is for the mom to receive the Tdap and flu shot during pregnancy.
Per the CDC, the recommended time to get the flu shot (not nasal) is at any time during your pregnancy, regardless of the trimester.
Tdap (whooping cough or pertussis) booster vaccine: Please have all adult family members and caretakers receive the Tdap vaccine as soon as possible. Siblings who are up to date with their immunization schedule should have excellent protection as we vaccinate all children against whooping cough. Your newborn baby will also receive this immunization at 2, 4, and 6 months of age; however, until 6 months of age the protection is not that strong. Blue Fish does NOT do adult Tdap immunizations; your primary care physician or local pharmacy is the best place to get this shot. See below for more details about the Tdap booster.
Influenza vaccine: All parents AND siblings should receive the flu vaccine as soon as it is available – typically in September or October. This vaccine needs to be done every year as the flu strains are constantly changing. Parents and siblings can receive their flu vaccines at Blue Fish. Please sign up for our newsletter on our website to know when the flu vaccine is available.
Protection against whooping cough does not last forever. The vaccination you received as a child wears off. Adults and adolescents should receive the whooping cough booster vaccine.
Blue Fish recommends that adults and adolescents receive a Tdap (this is a newer version of the previously recommended tetanus-diphtheria (Td shot) booster vaccine with added protection against whooping cough.) It is especially important for those in contact with infants younger than 6 months of age. Tdap can be administered regardless of when Td was last received. Tdap was first available in the United States in 2005. Ideally, Tdap should be given two weeks before beginning close contact with an infant. Blue Fish offers the vaccine to all Blue Fish adolescent patients. Parents should receive their booster from their primary care physician or local pharmacy as soon as possible.
Children that have immunodeficiencies such as HIV or agammaglobulinemia require special considerations. These special guidelines also apply to children who are undergoing chemotherapy and as a result are immunocompromised as well. Not only do such patients have special immunization criteria but so do any family members with whom they reside. Live vaccines such as oral polio given to immunocompetent patients may be shed and affect immunocompromised individuals in contact with the immunized patients.
In general, immunocompromised patients cannot be given weakened live vaccines such as MMR, varicella, and the oral polio virus vaccine.
Traveling abroad can be a very enjoyable experience if planned for in advance. Each area of the world, however, presents unique medical challenges as there may be outbreaks of various illnesses not regularly seen in the United States. Additionally, access to good medical care and pharmaceutical agents may prove difficult. For this reason, we recommend letting us know as soon as possible when and where you are traveling so we may best prepare your child.

The inauguration of James Buchanan as the 15th president of the United States was held on Wednesday, March 4, 1857, at the East Portico of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. This was the 18th inauguration and marked the commencement of the only four-year term of both James Buchanan as president and John C. Breckinridge as vice president. Chief Justice Roger B. Taney administered the presidential oath of office. This was the first inauguration ceremony known to be photographed.

Inaugural address

In his lengthy inaugural address, President Buchanan referred to the "Territorial Question" of slavery spreading into the West, and made it clear that he was in favor of the previously passed Kansas–Nebraska Act in 1854 which allowed for popular sovereignty to decide on the issue. He did not, however, speak on the rampant voter fraud that was occurring as both Northerners and Southerners flocked to Kansas in order to sway the vote in their favor, nor did he speak to the violence that was occurring in the streets as a result of the tense feelings between both regions of the country.

Buchanan was criticized for not taking a strong stance on the decisive issue of slavery, and made it clear that he would "cheerfully accept" the opinion of the Supreme Court in the case of Dred Scott v. Sandford.

Additionally, Buchanan spoke at length regarding the country's economy and laid out plans for the nation's budget, including increasing the size of the Navy in order to protect the nation's interests in the East. Moreover, Buchanan discussed his strong feelings that a strict interpretation of the Constitution was the only safe manner in which to operate the federal government while simultaneously defending the appropriation of funds to a Trans-Atlantic road granted by Congress in order to protect California and other holdings on the Western Coast. In particular, Buchanan noted the difficulties that the Rocky Mountains would present in creating such a pathway, but defending it as a necessary work for the nation to undertake.

Buchanan rounded out his inaugural address by touting the United States' history of taking possession of new lands, stating that territories and holdings were taken peacefully, and enjoyed increased economic trade and prosperity due to the paternal influence of America.

Political controversy

Buchanan was seen to hold a whispered conversation with Roger Taney (chief justice of the Supreme Court) during the festivities. This — combined with Buchanan's reference in his inaugural speech to a coming Supreme Court decision which would "speedily and finally" settle disputes over slavery in the U.S. territories, and the issuance of the Dred Scott v. Sandford ruling (supporting Buchanan's views) two days after the speech — gave rise to suspicions among many supporters of the Republican Party that Buchanan and Taney had conducted improper pre-decision consultations on the Dred Scott case at the inaugural, violating principles of executive-judicial separation. In fact, such consultations had taken place, but in written letters between Buchanan and Supreme Court judge John Catron in February.

536 backers pledged $61,136 to help bring this project to life.
While cooking in the kitchen, it is inevitable to get your hands dirty.
One of the biggest dilemmas in the history of the kitchen is that if you reach for the faucet to turn it on with your dirty hand, you are going to end up with a dirty hand when you turn it off after washing. So why bother washing hands at all?
Meet Autowater Pro, an add-on that turns any faucet into a touchless, smart device.
With a simple swiping motion, you may turn the tap on or off.
This way, you can stay germ free and eliminate cross-contamination.
Autowater Pro features one sensor on the left to turn the tap on or off, and one on the bottom for short bursts.
It's strong purifying forces at the molecular level ensures the highest level of chlorine adsorption while making zero compromise in water flow.
Activated Carbon Fiber (ACF) is thought to be one of the best absorbent in adsorption applications for its considerable advantages over other commercial storage materials.
ACF is an excellent functional adsorbent material due to its high porosity and large surface area. It has the advantages of fast adsorption rate and ease of handling. It is widely used in a multitude of applications including air purification, water treatment, water purification, air filters in gas masks and respirators, filters in compressed air and many other applications.
To set up Autowater Pro, all you need to do is to attach the connector and click in the device.
Six different connectors ensures that AutoWater Pro works with any type of faucet.
Autowater Pro comes in two setups, one for the kitchen, and one for the bathroom.
We are a team of engineers, designers, and visionaries who are determined to bring a truly healthy and innovative washing experience into every home.
Through rigorous research and development over a three-year span, we have designed the perfect point of use appliance to manage your indoor water consumption.
Autowater Pro transforms your faucet into a simpler, safer, and smarter device.
As our product design and testing are gearing up to the final stages and heading to large-scale product, we'd like to invite you to the last chapter of this adventure to enjoy a brand new hand washing experience.
All rewards are expected to start shipping in July, 2018. We are confident in our supply chain management and production capability. However, if there are any uncontrollable factors, such as component delays or unexpected shortages, we will be sure to keep you well informed every step of the way and do our best to quickly solve the problem.


Anyone who knows me personally knows that I am a huge Pink Floyd fan. I have been searching for concert tickets to one of the Roger Waters shows in July. I finally found some by searching for a new york ticket broker. $535 for two tickets would put the wife and I up close and personal (two rows back) to Roger Waters when he is Hartford, CT.
…..but, that is $535 that I should probably spend on something that we really need. On the other hand….we really need a vacation!

Divine Renovation
From Maintenance to Mission
Divine Renovation moves ahead at Holy Redeemer in Bergvliet
The #DivineRenovation (#DRSA19) mission continued at Holy Redeemer parish in Bergvliet, Cape Town on Sunday 20 January 2019 with the start of the catechetical year. Known to the parish as "Kick-off Sunday", the morning served as an opportunity for families to register for catechism classes (for children), Life Teen (for teenagers) and a new season of Alpha (for adults).
Those who attended the special 10am Mass were warmly greeted – whether visitors or long-time parishioners! Fr Anthony Padua, the new parish priest, brought a new energy to the Mass – with many parishioners commenting afterwards that they felt a sense of belonging at Holy Redeemer. At the beginning of Mass the congregation were given the opportunity to greet each other and introduce themselves to someone they hadn't met before. This created quite a buzz throughout the church.
Fr Anthony's homily was all about God not keeping silent or quiet until His righteousness goes forth like brightness (from Holy Redeemer) and His salvation like a burning torch, taken from Isaiah 62 vs 1 and 2.
During Mass, it was awesome to feel the whole congregation worshipping God together – with exuberance and passion when it came to singing praise to God.
The Holy Spirit has certainly introduced some excitement in the parish – a feeling that seems to be running through the whole parish. As a community, we are excited about Divine Renovation and what God is doing in the church.
After Mass, tea and coffee was served by the Alpha Group and the ever popular bacon and egg rolls were on sale. It was a great morning of greeting and getting to know each other as people gathered in the parish centre to register for the different activities – we look forward to a full and spirit-filled year together.
Divine Renovation launched at Holy Redeemer Parish in Bergvliet
The Redemptorist Parish of the Most Holy Redeemer in Bergvliet, Cape Town officially launched theirDivine Renovation campaign on the first Sunday of Advent and weeks later, the parish is still buzzing over the excitement.
The two morning Masses were combined into one special Mass at 10h00 and all those who attended Mass received a warm welcome and name tag on arrival. This was was in keeping with the theme for the day, which was taken from Isaiah 43:1: 'I have called you by name and you are mine'. This was the first step in the parish "Game Plan" (one of the key steps in the Divine Renovation process, as Fr James Mallon explains in his book, and which he explained at the Divine Renovation conference which took place in August this year) – becoming an invitational church.
Parish Priest, Fr. Gerard McCabe's homily was about God calling us by name to become (more)missional. During Mass, the Core Group, who are steering the movement of Divine Renovation in the Parish, were presented to the congregation and commissioned by Fr Gerard.
At the Sign of Peace the congregation was given the opportunity to greet each other by name – a real opportunity to meet fellow parishioners. The excitement and joy that filled the church in that moment was especially overwhelming and inspiring. During Holy Communion each person received the Body and Blood of Christ by name. To many parishioners this was the highlight of the day. Those not receiving communion were also encouraged to come forward for a blessing from the ministers – and this too, was received by name.
It was truly a Mass filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit.
After Mass, the congregation was invited to enjoy refreshments in the parish hall, where everyone could mingle and meet new and old faces – as well as meet those who are involved in various ministries in the parish – from LifeTeen, Alpha, the StVincent de Paul Society, Proclaimers of the Word, Men for Change among many others.
Overall, the morning was a wonderful revival of parish community life at Holy Redeemer – injecting anew welcoming spirit, a new energy into the parish and an excitement to look forward to what God has planned for the future.

Peter D. Weaver (born 15 January 1945) is a retired bishop of The United Methodist Church.

Education
Weaver was educated at West Virginia Wesleyan College where he earned a B.A. in 1966. He then earned a M.Div. at Drew University in 1969 and became a Doctor of Theology in 1975 after concluding studies at Boston University. Weaver also holds honorary doctorates from Lebanon Valley College (1999), Albright College (2000), and West Virginia Wesleyan College (2007).

Ordained ministry
Before election to the episcopacy, Weaver served the Western Pennsylvania Conference as a pastor.  He entered the ministry in 1967 as a deacon by Lloyd Christ Wicke and was ordained an elder by Roy Calvin Nichols in 1969. He held appointments as:
Pastor, Whitaker United Methodist Church, 1971–77
Senior Pastor, Smithfield United Church (UCC and UMC), Pittsburgh, PA, 1977–88
Senior Pastor, First United Methodist Church, Pittsburgh, PA, 1988–96
Adjunct Faculty, Drew Theological School, 1980
Faculty, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, 1990

Episcopal ministry

He was elected a bishop of the United Methodist Church by the Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference in 1996. He was then appointed as the resident bishop to various Annual Conferences:

 Philadelphia Area (Eastern Pennsylvania and Peninsula Delaware Conferences) (1996-2004)
 Boston Episcopal Area (New England Annual Conference) (2004-12)

Weaver served his colleagues as President of the UMC Council of Bishops (2003–04). He was the first president bishop since the council increased the office's term to two years. He later served as Executive Secretary to the Council of Bishops (2012-16).

Weaver now serves as the Bishop-in-Residence at Drew University Theological School.

Weaver served as interim bishop of the Virginia Annual Conference in 2019 to cover Bishop Lewis' medical leave.

Kinetics experiments can determine the dissociation and association rate constants (off-rate and on-rate) of an unlabeled compound. Add labeled and unlabeled ligand together and measure the binding of the labeled ligand over time. Fit to the appropriate model described below, constraining the rate constants of the labeled ligand to constant values determined from other experiments, and fit the rate constants of the unlabeled compound.
Using only a single concentration of labeled and radioligand, it is very hard to determine the rate constants with any reasonable precision. But measure the kinetics at two (or more) concentrations of the unlabeled ligand, and the results are much more precise.
Create an XY data table. Enter time in minutes into X, and specific binding in cpm into Y. Enter the binding for one concentration of of the unlabeled ligand in column A, and another concentration in column B, etc.. Enter the concentrations, in nM, into the column titles.
From the table of specific binding, click Analyze, choose nonlinear regression, choose the panel of Kinetics Binding equations, and choose Kinetics of competitive binding.
Constrain k1 and k2 to constant values determined from kinetic binding experiments. k1 is the association rate constant of the hot ligand in M-1 min-1 and k2 is its dissociation rate constant in units of min-1.
Also constrain L to be a constant value equal to the concentration of labeled ligand in nM.
I is constrained to be a column constant whose value comes from the column titles.
k3 is the association rate constant of unlabeled ligand in M-1 min-1.
k4 is the dissociation rate constant of unlabeled ligand in min-1.
Bmax is the total number of receptors. Either leave as a variable or set to a constant you know from other experiments. The Bmax is the maximum binding at equilibrium with a very high concentration of radioligand. It is usually much larger than any binding seen in the experiment.
All three parameters are constrained to be shared, so Prism fits one value of each of the three parameters for all the data sets.
•This equation does not account for ligand depletion. It assumes that only a small fraction of radioligand binds to receptors, so that the free concentration of radioligand is very close to the added concentration.
•This method will only give reliable results if you have plenty of data points at early time points.
•The ratio K4/K3 is the equilibrium dissociation constant of the cold ligand in Molar. You should compare this value (determined via kinetics) with the same value determined by equilibrium competition.
•To work with rapidly-dissociating compounds. The kinetics of competitive binding equation was developed for unlabeled ligands that dissociate sufficiently slowly that the fit provides reasonable estimates of the kinetic parameters. When the unlabeled ligand dissociates rapidly, an ambiguous fit often results because the ligand equilibrates so rapidly that the kinetic assumption no longer applies.In this scenario, the data can be better fit by an equation that assumes the unlabeled ligand rapidly equilibrates with the free receptors.

This method was described by Motulsky and Mahan in Molecular Pharmacology 25:1-9, 1984.


The Delaware Supreme Court disagreed. Noting that "Delaware courts have repeatedly 'placed reasonable restrictions on shareholders' inspection rights in the context of [inspection] suit,'" the court said that the ability to limit the use of information gathered from an inspection—not just the scope of the inspection itself—has long been recognized as within the Court of Chancery's discretion. For example, the court noted, Delaware courts have frequently conditioned books and records inspections on confidentiality agreements. In some cases, the court added, inspections have been denied entirely if the plaintiff's purpose was improper, e.g., pursuing a derivative action where the stockholder was not a proper plaintiff to bring such an action, or where there is pending litigation against the corporation and discovery is thus the more appropriate mechanism for obtaining relevant documents. The court explained that, in restricting a stockholder's ability to use corporate books and records in certain ways, Delaware case law has consistently reflected the underlying principle that the stockholder's inspection right is a "qualified one." Accordingly, the court held that the Court of Chancery has wide discretion to shape the breadth and use of inspections to protect the legitimate interests of corporations, including consideration of the forum selection clause in the confidentiality agreement.
In other words, Delaware courts will exercise their statutory discretionary power to impose reasonable restrictions on stockholder inspection to find the right balance between the legitimate interests of both the stockholder and the corporation, be it confidentiality agreement, forum selection clause, or whatever may be appropriate under the facts and circumstances.
This post was a part of a multi-part blog series on shareholder inspection rights and the limits thereof. In our next post, we will discuss what constitutes proper shareholder purposes under New York law.

A distinguishing feature of the Group is the existence of substantial opportunities to proactively increase earnings performance from its current base. Consequently, the focus on unlocking and accelerating earnings growth from the existing platform is common to all four of the Group's operating companies, regardless of the direction in which external factors move.
On the first page of last year's Annual Report, we clearly set out our comprehensive action plan and it is pleasing to report on our progress against those targets. The benefits of these actions have only just started to be reflected in the current financial results and they will realise further considerable value from the established asset and business base, as the Group moves forward.
Flatter management structure achieved throughout the organisation, with levels of management removed.
Closure of the sugar head office completed.
The small Tongaat-Hulett Sugar leadership team joined the Amanzimnyama offices in Tongaat, following the closure and restructure of the 180 people sugar head office in 2004 and following the 50 percent staff reduction at the Group's head office in 2003.
