The Cry of Its Occasion: Fiona Wright's Small Acts of Disappearance
By James Tierney
21st Sep, 2015
Time, to those of us celebrating birthdays and managing schedules, seems naturally linear. The past is gone and the future lies ahead of us. This is a model of time that Chris Wild, the founder of the online archive of historic pictures The Retronaut, likens to walking. Our experience of moving forward through space a footfall at a time seemingly emphasises that we are moving forward, eyes locked onto what is to come. Following in the footsteps of Walter Benjamin, who reminded us that the reveries of memory animate our present as much as what is ahead, Wild posits instead that 'time is a remix', a composite landscape that can be traversed at will in the present moment.
Fiona Wright is a poet and critic possessed of a keen intelligence and a clean, precise voice. Landscape and the 'hard chemistry of time' were a feature of Wright's 2011 poetry collection Knuckled. Physical and exacting in its use of language, it was beautifully sequenced, each poem and section falling to the next in a rhythm by turns plain and oblique. Knuckled invited its readers to consume its verse in a single sitting and rewarded those who did, a pleasure not every poetry volume can promise.
Released earlier this month, Wright's second book, Small Acts of Disappearance: Essays on Hunger, steps into a memoryscape vivid with mnemonics that are both deeply personal and at large. Her clarity of voice and eye for the irregular sinew of life are brought to bear on ten personal essays written over four years, while Wright was undergoing treatment for anorexia nervosa. Collectively, the essays offer a strong counter argument to the dubious but commonly-held belief that memoir is a form best left to a writer's twilight years.
From its opening pages, Small Acts of Disappearance demonstrates that Wright has retained her sense of spatial acuity. The first essay, 'In Colombo', breaks open both her method and her story, as Wright's internship at an English-language newspaper unfolds in light but potent gestures. The Sri Lankan capital is rife with the regulation of public space: guns slung over the shoulders of soldiers, the groping hands of men on public transport, the absence of women. The quieter ordinances of Australian streets – insistent cat-calling; intimidation; the demand 'Why was she out so late?' – do not seem so different, though they sit a few notches down on the scale of explicit control. Poverty in Sri Lanka is tenacious in its basic need, to an extent that is inconceivable to most urban Australians.
As the book's subtitle makes plain, this collection's unifying theme is hunger: for food, for agency, for the stability found in writing when other supports are loosened or absent. This is deeply personal material, but Wright is a generous writer and draws lines – sometimes fractious, sometimes breaking – to larger communities of people and bodies of knowledge.
Wright's particular experience with anorexia began with Rumination (from the Latin rumen, or gullet), a physical and psychosomatic condition in which a contraction of muscles around the abdomen causes involuntary vomiting. The initially undiagnosed and still little-understood condition sparked in Wright a need for bodily control, which ultimately led to the further illness of anorexia. Unable to digest the rice and coconut milk of Sri Lankan food, Wright shrinks until her collarbones are 'angular enough to become individually sunburnt'.
The physicality of Wright's analysis doesn't stop at the boundaries of her body. 'Hunger is only political, only poignant when it is abnormal, when it is usual and strange… (M)y hunger, singular and circling, was (only) a crisis in my hometown.'
Wright's use of the personal pronoun throughout is grounded and clarifying – weighted to illumination and analysis rather than expression. Wright recognises that her impulse to starve is in some sense a form of shyness, that it 'comes from exactly the same place as my impulse to write: hunger, like writing, is a mediator.'
Wright finds resonances of her own hunger in sources as disparate as the fiction of Christina Stead and John Berryman, in the sensation of grief, in her escalating need for control. Her shrewd assessments of two (highly unethical) studies on the effects of starvation provoked a desire in me for more information, the better to situate the larger incremental effects of hunger's slow disaster against Wright's personal story. To have left me wanting more is not an indication of dissatisfaction; rather, of a reading experience I was reluctant to finish.
In American essayist Leslie Jamison's persuasive pushback against the notion that writers need to have lived a busy, eventful life before making life their subject, she writes, 'Wallace Stevens called a poem "the cry of its occasion," and I think we can't always set the timeline on our cries. We utter them when they come.'
Small Acts of Disappearance proves once again that Fiona Wright is a writer possessed of a thoughtful voice and a keen subtlety, and a memoirist whose time is now.
Small Acts of Disappearance is available to purchase through Readings Books.

Philippines welcomed in the Cathedral
On Monday evening to Rzeszów reached a group of pilgrims from the Philippines.
It counts 51 people. Together with a group came also the local bishop.
In the evening in front of the cathedral in Rzeszów appeared bus with the pilgrims, who, after a long journey from Manila came to place accommodation. But before they went to the families they were exceptional welcome in the temple.
At the beginning of the word he directed prelate Jan Delekta, pastor of the parish Sacred Heart of Jesus.
He welcomed the pilgrims and spoke briefly about the history of the parish. Then the parish choir sang the hymn of World Youth Days in Kraków.
Pilgrims from the Philippines didn't remain indifferent to a very nice welcome and sang the anthem of the World Youth Days with Manila in 1995. After the blessing the pilgrims went to the identified families.
For staying in the parish is responsieble priest Julian Wybraniec, vicar of the cathedral parish. Early in the morning along with volunteers from Rzeszów he went to pick up pilgrims from Warsaw airport.
-It's incredibly joyful group. All the way to Rzeszów weren't bored for a moment. All the time we sang and prayed. They all the time asking questions.
Seeing the fields asking, if we grow the rice – says Julian Wybraniec.
Guests from the Philippines wondered even that in Poland is a dish in which the rice wrapped in cabbage- says Magdalena, volounter.
Tommorow, pilgrims set off on a tour of Rzeszów.

When I first played this wonderful game of ours, at least 40% of the players used their top hand.
Then we were faced with the problems of the bat manufacturers being unable to make light bats and we were forced to use bats which were far too heavy and the artistry of batting disappeared.
I remember coming back from Australia in 1973 and asking Duncan Fearnley to make a bat for me. As always, he made a beauty for me, but it was 2lb, 10oz. After 10 minutes in the nets my top hand and arm were aching and I was forced to pick the bat up with the bottom hand, so at the end of the backlift it was pointing to third man! This just makes batting very difficult.
There is little we can do about our present day players, but now it is possible to get lighter bats, I want all our coaches to teach our youngsters to take the bat back with the top hand. From there batting becomes simple.
A few years ago, I picked up a bat during an England XI v The Rest of the World game. Two very distinguished opening batsmen immediately said "How did you ever get any runs holding the bat like that?" I didn't tell them how many – it might have embarrassed them.
To clarify my grip, the back of my top hand faced between mid-off and extra cover and the wrist acted as a pendulum, the bat went back straight and came down straight – very simple.
Please, coaches, give our youngsters an alternative to the present fad of having the wrist almost behind the handle. If you get it right you are always playing with the full face of the bat.


Abstract: Written report and Web Site.
The present work developed for this Web Site, as complement of a written report, corresponds to a part of the graduation project to apply to the Specialist's Degree in Hydraulic Resources and Environment by the Engineer Gregorio Marín Uribe in the Colombian School of Engineering, under the direction of the Engineer Héctor Alfonso Rodríguez Díaz, professor of the same University. This work will deal in the first part generalities on fluvial hydraulics. In the second section, it has specifically been possible to gather and present in an appropriate way, according to the available bibliography, different formulas for the calculation of the transportation of sediments in alluvial rivers.
To fulfill the previously proposed objectives, it has fundamentally taken as reference the structure of the subject 'Fluvial Hydraulics' and their corresponding class' notes prepared by the Engineer Héctor Alfonso Rodríguez Díaz. This course is dictated in the Hydraulic Resources and Environment Specialization of the Colombian School of Engineering. I especially thank Dr. Rodríguez for the opportunity in using their excellent class' notes that he gave to us during his course.
In the first part of this document, in summary we can say, that notions of fluvial hydraulics are presented, which are the concepts and the general equations that evaluate the calculation of the transportation of sediments in alluvial rivers. All this consider the origin of the material (sediments) and the way as this material is transported. Besides, some generalities are also presented about the transportation of sediments in the water currents, with the purpose of facilitating the application of technical comparisons, measurements and available mathematical formulations for the estimation of the solid flow transported by the alluvial rivers. Such proposed estimates are useful to facilitate the application of qualitative analysis, construction of physical and mathematical models, in field measurements and the elaboration of different studies like: modification of beds, modification of natural channels and the variation of the volume of the deposit of sediments in a reservoir, among many others. In this knowledge area basically exist, two schools: a deterministic that tries to express by means of equations the physical phenomenon of the sediments' transportation; the other one is the empiric that tries to obtain relationships directly among the measured variables through obtained data and in field measured. To the first school of thinking belong the researchers DuBoys, Einstein, Kennedy, Vanoni, Brooks, etc. To the second, Blench, Conti, Colby, etc.
In the second part of this work general and theoretical concepts are analyzed for the calculation of the transportation of sediments in accordance with the origin of the material and their type of transportation. It follows presenting the most common formulas reported by the available bibliography and their selection will be made in agreement with the consistency of its measurement units.
1. For example, the Einstein-Brown semi-theoretical equation, obtained in United States by the son of the celebrated German physic; the anecdote (apocryphal?) says that the father tried to persuade his son against his will to leave such a complex matter as the mechanics of the transport of sediments, due to the quantity and random nature of the variables that involves this phenomenon.

Obama to nominate Perez for Labor Secretary slot
If confirmed, Perez would be the first U. alum to take up a cabinet post since the Clinton administration
By Mathias Heller
University News Editor
The White House announced President Obama will officially nominate Thomas Perez '83 today to serve as U.S. Secretary of Labor, Politico reported Sunday night.
Perez, currently serving as the U.S. assistant attorney general for civil rights, will become the first Brown alum to serve in a cabinet-level position since Richard Holbrooke '62, a former Herald editor-in-chief, was the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during the Clinton administration, The Herald previously reported.
Perez's nomination comes as no surprise, as multiple sources close to the selection process confirmed March 9 that Obama was likely to pick him. He must now be confirmed by the U.S. Senate to succeed incumbent Secretary Hilda Solis before serving in Obama's second-term cabinet.
The White House highlighted Perez's role in supporting veterans' and students' legal rights, prosecuting housing discrimination and enforcing human trafficking laws as evidence that he would make a strong Labor Secretary, Politico reported.
Perez's nomination marks the first time this term Obama has selected a Latino to join the cabinet.
Labor unions and civil rights activist groups have publicly voiced support for Perez's nomination, and he is popular on the left wing of the political spectrum for leading the U.S. Justice Department's challenge to voter identification laws in South Carolina and Texas, The Herald previously reported. Opponents of the states' ID laws charged they discriminated against racial minorities.
But Perez could face a challenge in winning confirmation in the Senate — Republican senators have criticized him for his leadership of the Justice Department's civil rights division, The Herald previously reported.
His Republican critics have pointed to an inspector general's report released March 12 that stated Perez gave misleading testimony about whether Justice Department political appointees were involved in the decision not to continue with a lawsuit in a 2010 case investigating possible voter intimidation in Philadelphia, Politico reported. Perez will likely face questions about this incident in his confirmation hearing.
Perez, who concentrated in international relations and political science at the University before receiving a law degree from Harvard, received the Brown Alumni Association's William Rogers Award in 2010 for outstanding public service, The Herald previously reported.

In June 2014, SPRING delegates attended the Micronutrient Forum—a global conference that brings together specialists from a wide array of sectors who share an interest in reducing micronutrient malnutrition, including researchers, policymakers, program implementers, and the private sector—and highlighted the work and results from SPRING's global- and country-level portfolios through two sponsored symposia and a number of short presentations.
On June 2, SPRING hosted a Sponsored Symposium, Making Inferences about Food and Nutrient Intakes from Household Consumption and Expenditures Surveys (HCES), where a panel of presenters assessed the relevance, reliability and limitations of HCES for analyzing food and nutrition matters, provided empirical comparative analyses of household and individual nutrient intakes derived from HCES and other dietary assessment methods, and addressed a potential reform agenda for strengthening the applications of HCES.
On June 4, SPRING hosted a Sponsored Symposium, Using a Multisectoral Approach to Reduce Maternal and Child Anemia: Best Practices and Lessons Learned, where a panel of presenters raised the profile and visibility of maternal and child anemia programs, shared best practices of multisectoral anemia programming in select countries, and discussed how countries define a multisectoral platform for anemia reduction and what approaches they have put in place to strengthen anemia prevention and control programs.
In addition to the two symposia, SPRING presented its work and results during three oral presentations and four poster presentations.

Die Akademie für Flüssigkeitsraketentriebwerkstechnik (), aus historischen Gründen auch  "Sechste Akademie" (六院) genannt, wegen der englischen Bezeichnung Academy of Aerospace Liquid Propulsion Technology oft "AALPT" abgekürzt, ist die Führungsgesellschaft der China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation für das Geschäftsfeld Flüssigkeitsraketentriebwerke. Daneben handelt es sich bei der AALPT auch um eine tatsächliche Akademie, mit der Berechtigung zur Verleihung von Ingenieurdiplomen sowie Arbeitsplätzen für Doktoranden und – am Xi'aner und am Pekinger Forschungsinstitut für Raumfahrtantriebe – Postdoktoranden.
Der Hauptsitz der Firma befindet sich im Stadtbezirk Chang'an von Xi'an, Provinz Shaanxi.

Geschichte
Die 1960 erstmals gestartete Kurzstreckenrakete Dongfeng 1, ein Nachbau der sowjetischen, mit Flüssigsauerstoff und Ethanol arbeitenden R-2, und die Mittelstreckenrakete Dongfeng 2, die 1964 ihren ersten erfolgreichen Einsatz hatte, waren seinerzeit noch vom 5. Forschungsinstitut des Verteidigungsministeriums aus einer Hand entwickelt worden. Die Triebwerke kamen von dem am 2. April 1958 gegründeten, im Pekinger Stadtbezirk Fengtai auf dem Gelände der heutigen Akademie für Trägerraketentechnologie ansässigen 11. Institut (十一所) der Einrichtung.
Getestet wurden sowohl die einzelnen Triebwerke als auch – ab der Dongfeng 2 – ganze Raketen auf der am 10. April 1958 im Straßenviertel Yungang gegründeten,  damals einfach nur "Prüfstation" (试验站) genannten Einrichtung, die heute das "Institut 101" der Akademie für Flüssigkeitsraketentriebwerkstechnik bildet.

Als am 4. Januar 1965 jedoch das 5. Forschungsinstitut per Beschluss des Nationalen Volkskongresses aus dem Verteidigungsministerium herausgelöst und in ein eigenes Ministerium umgewandelt wurde, das "Siebte Ministerium für Maschinenbauindustrie" (第七机械工业部, Pinyin Dì Qī Jīxiè Gōngyè Bù), wurden die Strukturen diversifiziert. Im Zusammenhang mit der Entwicklung der Mittelstreckenrakete Dongfeng 3 und der für Chinas ersten Satelliten Dong Fang Hong I gedachten Trägerrakete Changzheng 1 gründete das Siebte Ministerium noch 1965 in der Hongguang-Schlucht (红光沟), auf dem Gebiet der Großgemeinde Fengzhou im Westen der Provinz Shaanxi, die sogenannte "Basis 067" (○六七基地, Pinyin Líng Liù Qī Jīdì),
inklusive eigenem Krankenhaus
und einem Gymnasium für die Kinder der Arbeiter und Angestellten.
Dies war die Keimzelle der heutigen Akademie für Flüssigkeitsraketentriebwerkstechnik. Unweit der eigentlichen Basis 067 wurde 1965 das "Forschungsinstitut 165" (165所) eingerichtet, wo die Triebwerke getestet wurden.
Nach dem Zwischenfall am Ussuri wurde das 11. Institut 1970 der Basis 067 unterstellt und ein Teil der Einrichtungen im Rahmen der "Dritten Front" (三线) in den Kreis Feng verlegt.
Der in Peking verbliebene Teil des 11. Instituts wurde in "Pekinger Forschungsinstitut für Raumfahrtantriebe" (北京航天动力研究所) umbenannt.

Als das Siebte Ministerium im März 1993 per Beschluss des Nationalen Volkskongresses aufgelöst und die "Dachgesellschaft für Luftfahrtindustrie" sowie die "Dachgesellschaft für Raumfahrtindustrie" gegründet wurden, blieb die Basis 067 bei der Dachgesellschaft für Raumfahrtindustrie. Zusammen mit dem in den Kreis Feng verlegten Teil des 11. Instituts wurde sie nun nach Xi'an verlegt. Seitdem heißt der Shaanxier Teil des 11. Instituts "Xi'aner Forschungsinstitut für Raumfahrtantriebe" (西安航天动力研究所).
Das ehemalige Forschungsinstitut 165 heiß seit dieser Zeit "Xi'aner Prüfinstitut für Raumfahrtantriebe" (西安航天动力试验技术研究所). Heute gibt es dort eine Abteilung für die Prüfung von regulären Flüssigkeitstriebwerken, eine für Lageregelungstriebwerke und eine für die neuen Triebwerke, die ab 2000 für die mittelschweren und schweren Trägerraketen entwickelt wurden.

Am 8. April 1994 wurde das Prüfinstitut für Raumfahrtantriebe als eigenständige Tochtergesellschaft mit einem Stammkapital von 3,05 Millionen Yuan aus der Basis 067 ausgegliedert.
Heute besitzt die umgangssprachlich immer noch als "Institut 165" bezeichnete Firma einen Prüfstand für Antriebsmodule mit vier fest montierten Triebwerken, einen Prüfstand für ein einzelnes auslenkbares Triebwerk, einen Prüfstand für Module mit bis zu fünf auslenkbaren Triebwerken, einen Prüfstand, auf dem Vakuumbedingungen simuliert werden können, einen Prüfstand für Lageregelungstriebwerke sowie in Baolongyu in den Bergen südlich von Xi'an das "Prüfzentrum für kryogene Flüssigkeitsraketentriebwerke" (抱龙峪低温液体火箭发动机试验中心), wo am 6. Juli 2021 ein neuer Prüfstand für die mit einer diergolen Treibstoffkombination aus Raketenkerosin und Flüssigsauerstoff betriebenen Triebwerke im Schubkraftbereich von 1200 kN (YF-100 etc.) in Betrieb genommen wurde.
Bereits im Jahr 1992 errichtete man im Xi'aner Stadtbezirk Yanta die "Xi'aner Fabrik für Raumfahrttriebwerke" (西安航天发动机厂), auch bekannt als "Fabrik 7103", wo die schweren Triebwerke vom Typ YF-75 gebaut wurden.

Als am 1. Juli 1999 die Dachgesellschaft für Raumfahrtindustrie in einen vorwiegend zivilen und vorwiegend militärischen Konzern aufgespalten wurde, blieb die Basis 067 bei der vorwiegend zivilen China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. Viele Atomraketen wie zum Beispiel die Dongfeng 31 verwenden wegen der besseren Lagerfähigkeit Feststoffantriebe. Unter anderem bei der Dongfeng 5 kommen jedoch bis heute Flüssigkeitsraketentriebwerke zum Einsatz. Daher wurde die Herstellung dieser Raketen bei der Umstrukturierung 1999 der der CASC unterstehenden Chinesischen Akademie für Trägerraketentechnologie übertragen.
Um bei der CASC besser in das dortige System der "Akademien" (研究院, ein historischer Ausdruck für "Geschäftsbereich") zu passen, wurde die Basis 067 im Jahr 2001 mit Genehmigung des Staatsrats der Volksrepublik China in "Akademie für Flüssigkeitsraketentriebwerkstechnik" umbenannt, auch bekannt als "Sechste Akademie".

Geschäftsbereiche
Die Kernkompetenz der Akademie für Flüssigkeitsraketentriebwerkstechnik liegt bei der Entwicklung und Herstellung von Flüssigkeitsraketentriebwerken der YF-Serie, wobei die mit bei Raumtemperatur lagerbaren, hypergolen Treibstoffmischungen arbeitenden Triebwerke sowie die Kerosin/Sauerstoff-Triebwerke vom Xi'aner Forschungsinstitut für Raumfahrtantriebe gebaut werden, die mit kryogenen Treibstoffen arbeitenden Triebwerke vom Pekinger Forschungsinstitut für Raumfahrtantriebe. Das  Institut 101 in Peking betreibt einerseits chemische Forschung bezüglich der für Flüssigkeitstriebwerke geeigneten Treibstoffe, andererseits stellt es diese auch selbst her. Jenes Institut, das sich seit seiner Gründung 1958 mit kryogenen Treibstoffen befasst, besitzt die größte Anlage zur Herstellung von flüssigem Wasserstoff in China mit einer Kapazität von 2 Tonnen pro Tag – auch für nicht raumfahrtbezogene Wasserstoffantriebe – und stellt außerdem Flüssigsauerstoff, Flüssigstickstoff und  gekühltes Helium her.

Auf der Prüfstation des Instituts 101 in Yungang können nicht nur einzelne Triebwerke, sondern auch – seit 2012 in einem neuen Gebäude – ganze Raketenstufen mit mehreren darin eingebauten Triebwerken getestet werden. Dies erfolgt regulär vor dem Erstflug einer neuen Rakete ein- bis zweimal für jede Stufe. Seit den Problemen mit dem YF-77-Triebwerk der Changzheng 5 im Jahr 2017 gibt es dort auch einen eigenen Prüfstand für Turbopumpen.

Bei dem bis 2008 zur Shanghaier Akademie für Raumfahrttechnologie (SAST) gehörenden Institut 801 im dortigen Stadtbezirk Xuhui befasst man sich mit der Entwicklung von Lageregelungstriebwerken mittlerer und kleiner Schubkraft für Satelliten, Raumschiffe, die Chinesische Raumstation,
Atomraketen und Tiefraumsonden.
Im Stadtbezirk Pudong befindet sich die Fabrik 203, wo die Triebwerke hergestellt werden.

Daneben befasst man sich in Xi'an auch mit elektrischen Antrieben. Von einem mit Mikrosystemtechnik realisierten elektrothermischen Antrieb (Free Molecular Micro-Electro-Thermal Resist Jet bzw. FMMR)
für Mikrosatelliten über ein thermisches Lichtbogentriebwerk mit Ammoniak als Stützmasse
und einem mit Radiowellen arbeitenden magnetoplasmadynamischen Antrieb
bis zu einem gepulsten Mikrolichtbogenantrieb,
der am 23. Oktober 2019 an Bord des am 17. August 2019 gestarteten Erdbeobachtungssatelliten Qiansheng-1 01 (千乘一号01星) erstmals im Orbit gezündet wurde.

Im Laufe der Jahrzehnte erwarb man große Erfahrung bei der Konstruktion von Pumpen und Ventilen. So stellt man heute zum Beispiel in Xi'an alle Arten von Pumpen mit Förderleistungen von bis zu 1000 l/s, Umdrehungsgeschwindigkeiten von bis zu 70.000 rpm und Temperaturen des zu befördernden Mediums zwischen −185 °C und +200 °C für Anwendungen in Luft- und Raumfahrt, Schiffsbau, Kernkraftwerken, bei der Feuerwehr, in der chemischen Industrie und bei der Ölförderung her.
Das Pekinger Forschungsinstitut für Raumfahrtantriebe gründete 1991 die Beijing Aerospace Petrochemical Technology and Equipment Engineering GmbH,
die auf die Herstellung von Sicherheitsventile für alle Arten von Druckkesseln
sowie Spezialventilen für Anwendungen in der chemischen Industrie spezialisiert ist.
Am Xi'aner Forschungsinstitut für Raumfahrtantriebe gibt es ein spezielles "Zentrum für Dichtungstechnologie" (密封技术研制中心), das sich mit der Entwicklung und Herstellung von nichtmetallischen und metallischen Dichtungsringen nicht nur für den zivilen und militärischen Raketenbau, sondern auch für alle Arten von Anwendungen im Schiffsbau, der petrochemischen Industrie etc. befasst. Im Jahr 2012 wurden dort von gut 300 Arbeitern und Angestellten über 3000 verschiedene Dichtungsringe hergestellt.

Vorstandsvorsitzender der Akademie für Flüssigkeitsraketentriebwerkstechnik ist seit Januar 2021 Wang Wanjun (王万军).
Im Laufe der Zeit wurden mehrere Abteilungen der Firma als eigenständig wirtschaftende Tochterunternehmen ausgegliedert. Stand 2021 besitzt die Akademie für Flüssigkeitsraketentriebwerkstechnik noch folgende ihr direkt unterstehende Einrichtungen:
 Xi'aner Forschungsinstitut für Raumfahrtantriebe (西安航天动力研究所), auch bekannt als "Institut 11" bzw. 十一所
 Shaanxier Konstruktionsbüro für Kraftmaschinen (陕西动力机械设计研究所)
 Pekinger Forschungsinstitut für Raumfahrtantriebe (北京航天动力研究所), auch bekannt als "Institut 11 (Hauptstadt)" bzw. 十一所(京)
 Institut 101 (航天101所)
 Institut 801 (六院801所), auch bekannt als "Shanghaier Institut für Weltraumantriebe"
 Fabrik 203 (801所\203厂)
 Xi'aner Fabrik für Raumfahrttriebwerke (西安航天发动机厂), auch bekannt als "Fabrik 7103" bzw. 7103厂
 Xi'aner Forschungsinstitut für Raumfahrtmesstechnik (西安航天计量测试研究所)
 Raumfahrtgrundschule Xi'an (西安航天小学)
 Raumfahrtgymnasium Xi'an (西安市航天中学)
 Raumfahrthauptkrankenhaus Xi'an (西安航天总医院)

2018 ging man davon aus, dass die Akademie für Flüssigkeitsraketentriebwerkstechnik während des 13. Fünfjahresplans (2016–2020) mit ihren rund 18.000 Mitarbeitern einen jährlichen Bruttoumsatz von 6,8 Milliarden Yuan und einen jährlichen Gewinn von rund 350 Millionen Yuan erwirtschaften würde.
Zu den wichtigsten Projekten gehört derzeit die Entwicklung von Wasserstoff/Sauerstoff-Triebwerken mit einer Schubkraft von 250 kN (YF-79) und 2200 kN (YF-90), ersteres für die 3. Stufe, letzteres für die 2. Stufe der Changzheng 9.
Das nach dem Hauptstromverfahren arbeitende, mehrfach zündbare und in zwei Richtungen um jeweils ±5° schwenkbare 2200-kN-Triebwerk soll im Vakuum einen spezifischen Impuls von 453 s liefern. Es wurde ein Konzept gewählt, bei dem im Vorbrenner der gesamte Wasserstoff mit einem kleinen Teil des Sauerstoffs verbrannt wird, und dann, nachdem das 850 K heiße Gas die Turbopumpen angetrieben hat, in der Hauptbrennkammer mit dem Rest des Sauerstoffs zur Schuberzeugung verbrannt wird, das was man im englischen Sprachgebrauch als fuel-rich staged combustion cycle bezeichnet. Wie beim YF-77 gibt es bei dem neuen Triebwerk zwei getrennte Turbopumpen für Wasserstoff und Sauerstoff, wobei die Wasserstoffpumpe mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 33.000 rpm rotiert, also etwas langsamer als beim YF-77, und die Sauerstoffpumpe mit 23.000 rpm, also schneller als beim YF-77. Durch die Steuerung des Sauerstoffanteils bei dem Gasgemisch im Vorbrenner lässt sich die Schubkraft des in gewisser Weise mit dem sowjetischen RD-0120 vergleichbaren Triebwerks bis auf 65 % seiner vollen Leistung herabregeln.
Im November 2020 wurde das Zusammenwirken des Vorbrenners mit der Sauerstoffpumpe und der Wasserstoffpumpe – zunächst noch in getrennten Versuchen – auf dem Prüfstand erfolgreich getestet.
Ein erfolgreicher Test des gesamten Halbsystems erfolgte am 2. Februar 2023.

Die aus zwei Abschnitten bestehende Düse des Triebwerks mit einem Durchmesser von 2,5 m an ihrem unteren Rand besitzt in die Innenwand gefräste Kühlkanäle, über denen sich eine teilweise nur 1 mm dicke, mit einem aufwendigen Diffusionshartlötverfahren befestigte Außenwand befindet. Die Düse wird nicht bei der Akademie für Flüssigkeitsraketentriebwerkstechnik selbst hergestellt, sondern in der für diese Technik ausgerüsteten Werkstatt 14 der Hauptstädtischen Raumflugkörper GmbH, einer Tochterfirma der Chinesischen Akademie für Trägerraketentechnologie.
Im Juli 2021 wurde der erste vollständige Prototyp des Triebwerks fertiggestellt.

Um das gesamte Triebwerk inklusive Düse testen zu können, plant das Institut 101, während des 14. Fünfjahresplans (2021–2025) im Kreis Laiyuan in den Bergen 120 km südwestlich von Peking ein neues Prüfzentrum für die Wasserstoff/Sauerstoff-Triebwerke schwerer Trägerraketen zu bauen, das "Prüfzentrum Laiyuan für Raumfahrtantriebe" (航天宇航动力涞源试验中心).
Dort besitzt das Institut 101 bereits eine Fabrik für 1,1-Dimethylhydrazin und Distickstofftetroxid, die bei den älteren Triebwerken als Treibstoff bzw. Oxidator verwendet werden.
Am 31. Dezember 2022 stellte das Xi'aner Prüfinstitut für Raumfahrtantriebe, auch bekannt als "Institut 165", bei Tongchuan im Westen von Shaanxi den Rohbau einer Anlage mit zwei Prüfständen für das schwere Kerosin-Sauerstoff-Triebwerk YF-130 fertig, das bei der 1. Stufe der Changzheng 9 zum Einsatz kommen soll. Die Anlage wird als "Prüfzentrum Tongchuan für neue Raumfahrtantriebe" (宇航新动力铜川试验中心) oder "Prüfareal Tongchuan" (铜川试验区) bezeichnet.
Außerdem soll bei Wenchang auf der Insel Hainan im Umfeld des Kosmodroms ein größeres Prüfzentrum für die Antriebssysteme schwerer Trägerraketen errichtet werden, um alle Triebwerke der Changzheng 9 und der Bemannten Trägerrakete der neuen Generation vor deren Erstflug an einer einzigen Einrichtung noch einmal zu erproben.

Das nach dem Expanderverfahren arbeitende YF-79 mit 250 kN Schubkraft wurde am 5. September 2022 erstmals erfolgreich auf dem Prüfstand getestet.

Neues Gebiet
Da durch den Bau der Chinesischen Raumstation und die häufigeren Tiefraummissionen der Nationalen Raumfahrtbehörde eine verstärkte Nachfrage nach Triebwerken für die Trägerraketen Langer Marsch 5 und Langer Marsch 7 bestand, wurde ab 2016 auf einem 48,7 ha großen Gelände der Nationalen Industriebasis für zivile Raumfahrt (西安国家民用航天产业基), dem sogenannten "Neuen Gebiet" (新区), unweit der Hauptverwaltung eine Fabrik gebaut, in der vor allem das Flüssigsauerstoff-Raketenkerosin-Triebwerk YF-100 hergestellt werden soll,
das in den Varianten YF-100K und YF-100M auch für die in Entwicklung befindliche Bemannte Rakete der neuen Generation benötigt wird.
Verwaltungsmäßig untersteht die neuen Einrichtung der Fabrik 7103 (siehe oben). Im Oktober 2020 nahm man in den Fabrikhallen A2, A3 und A4, wo Ventile und Turbopumpen zusammengebaut werden und die Endmontage der Triebwerke stattfindet, schrittweise den Betrieb auf, selbstverständlich mit modernster Technik (Industrieroboter, Fahrerlose Transportfahrzeuge etc.).

Im August 2022 waren die auf neun Gebäude verteilten Anlagen für eine industrielle Massenproduktion von nach dem Hauptstromverfahren arbeitenden Sauerstoff-Kerosin-Triebwerken der YF-100-Familie fertiggestellt – das Gelände wurde hierfür um 17,3 ha erweitert – und am 12. Januar 2023 erfolgte die Endabnahme durch die Abteilung für technische Systeme I der Nationalen Behörde für Wissenschaft, Technik und Industrie in der Landesverteidigung. Damit war nun eine Trennung der Produktionslinien für die Kerosin-Triebwerke und die mit  hypergolen Treibstoffmischungen arbeitenden Triebwerke der YF-20-Familie vollzogen, die für die älteren Raketen im Stammwerk weiterhin hergestellt werden. Da die 12.992 Satelliten des Nationalen Netzwerks, das unter anderem weltweiten Internetzugang über Satellit bieten soll, mit schweren Trägerraketen vom Typ Langer Marsch 5B ins All gebracht werden sollen, deren vier Booster jeweils zwei YF-100-Triebwerke besitzen, wird auch in fernerer Zukunft eine hohe Nachfrage nach diesen Triebwerken bestehen.

Lehre
1978 gründete die damalige Basis 067 mit Genehmigung des Ministeriums für Bildung der Volksrepublik China die Shaanxier Hochschule für Raumfahrtangestellte (陕西航天职工大学). Die Einrichtung steht unter der Aufsicht des Kultusministeriums der Provinz Shaanxi (陕西省教育厅) und besitzt die Berechtigung zur Verleihung von Ingenieurdiplomen. Im Jahr 2000 kam die Xi'aner Berufsschule für Raumfahrt (西安航天技工学校) hinzu, wo unter der Aufsicht des Arbeits- und Sozialministeriums der Provinz Shaanxi (陕西省人力资源和社会保障厅) Facharbeiter ausgebildet werden.
Im Dezember 2017 unterstellte die Akademie für Flüssigkeitsraketentriebwerkstechnik im Rahmen einer Umorganisation beide Einrichtungen ihrer Tochterfirma Xi'an Aerospace Hongfa Industrial GmbH.

Die Hochschule besitzt drei Fakultäten:

For those seeking the natural beauty and appeal of wood for their project, our Softline profiles combine today's German craftsmanship with modern and sophisticated look in wood . Wood may be one of the oldest building materials used, but it doesn't have to look that way. wood muntins are also available and the frames can be cut to any number of forms including standard square and rectangular shapes as well as arches, trapezoids, circles and more.
Softline wood windows are styled with an emphasis on rounded moulding and smooth lines, creating a modern twist on a traditional design.
While other wood window designs typically have angular profiles, Softline models offer a more contemporary look. These wood profiles can be installed into existing window openings to create a more natural setting and warm living atmosphere. A large variety of wood types and finishes are available such as meranti, spruce, pine, oak and more. Larch for example, is popular and provides a distinctive grain pattern.
Our wood frames offer all the flexibility and customization options that any modern window can. Double and triple glazing with their improved insulation values for example does not mean that wood muntins aren't possible. Indeed, you can easily select a custom pattern of wood muntins to match your existing windows or to give new homes a traditional look.
Sharp edges can also be a safety issue for young children making the rounded corners of the Softline series a great addition to childproofing measures. A fail-safe position-locking handle prevents children from hurting themselves when opening or tilting the casement. Quality hinges with a load capacity of up to 285 lbs provide durability, and an optional concealed hinge design is available for a smooth, uniform appearance.


People with integrity walk safely, but those who follow crooked paths will be exposed.
Proverbs teaches us an important lesson that the rest of the Bible confirms. If you follow "crooked paths" or, as another version puts it, if you pervert your ways, you will be exposed. Nothing hidden stays that way. It may, for a season, feel like you're getting away with it, but you will eventually be found out.
Ephesians 5:13 also tells us that all things will be exposed. The truth is, though, that we all have issues we'd like to keep hidden. So, what do we do about them knowing that they will be exposed? Control when it is exposed and who it is exposed to! If you wait for an issue in your life to blow up and become public, you have no control over how it comes or who it hurts. But if you will follow the Biblical examples of accountability and share your deep, dark secrets with a fellow believer you can trust. Ask them to help you overcome your struggles.
If you'll decide today to let someone in, you'll find, as many have before you, that it's actually healthy for us to talk about our struggles, James tells us that if we'll confess our sins one to another, we will be healed! That doesn't mean you have to tell everyone, but you should talk to someone about your struggles. If not, they will eventually come to light in a way you won't enjoy. So, the choice is yours. Tell your someone about your "crooked paths" (and we all have them) or wait for them to blow up on you. I know which one I am going to choose.
Who do you have in your life that you can trust with the dark areas of your heart?

If you are looking to rent a dumpster in Springfield, one of your main considerations is going to be price. There are generally two pricing options available when renting a dumpster in Springfield. Flat rate is pricing determined by the size of the dumpster, not the quantity of material you put in it. Per ton pricing will bill you based on the weight you need hauled.
One type of pricing structure isn't always more expensive than the other. Knowing just how much material you need to throw away, you might get a better deal with per ton pricing. On the other hand, flat rate pricing is able to help you keep a limitation on costs when you are coping with unknown weights. Whether you frequently rent dumpsters for work or just desire a one-time rental for a job around the house, you want to shop around for the best rental prices predicated on your own demands.
Most companies in Springfield have straightforward policies that will help you realize exactly how much it costs to rent gear. Following these tips can help you avoid hidden fees when renting a dumpster in Springfield.
A lot of companies will charge you extra for keeping the dumpster more than agreed. Be sure to plan ahead so you can keep the dumpster for a suitable amount of time. You should also ask about additional fees so that you will learn how much extra days cost.
Front -load and roll-off dumpsters have distinct designs which make them useful in different manners. Understanding more about them will enable you to choose an option that's right for your job.
Front-load dumpsters have mechanical arms that could lift heavy things. This is really a convenient choice for projects that comprise lots of heavy things like appliances and concrete. In addition , they are great for emptying commercial dumpsters like the sort restaurants use.
Roll-off dumpsters are normally the right choice for commercial and residential projects like fixing a roof, remodeling a cellar, or including a room to your residence. They have doors that swing open, allowing you to walk into the dumpster. In addition they have open tops that let you throw debris into the container. Rental businesses will generally leave a roll-off dumpster at your job location for a number of days or weeks. This is really a convenient choice for both small and large projects.
What if I need my dumpster in Springfield picked up early?
When you make arrangements to rent a dumpster in Springfield, part of your rental agreement includes a given duration of time you're allowed to use the container. You generally base this time on how long you think your project might take. The larger the project, the more time you'll need the dumpster. Most companies in Springfield give you a speed for a specific number of days. Should you exceed that amount of days, you'll pay an extra fee daily. In case the project goes more quickly than expected, you may be ended with the dumpster earlier than you anticipated.
Most firms in Springfield commonly rent containers for a regular speed for 7 days, although most one-time customers end up keeping their container an average of three and a half days. When you call to reserve the container, talk with the customer service representative about the duration of time you believe you will need.
If it turns out that your project takes longer than you anticipated, merely call the dumpster company to explain. Most firms will bill you on a per-day basis following your initial 7 days. It is very important to convey this additional demand as soon as you understand you have it since most dumpster firms have a restricted variety of bins that will already be reserved. Most firms will work together with you to adapt your extra rental time. If you believe you'll want the dumpster for an extra week or more, be sure to mention that; rates may change based on a longer period of time.
Obviously you want to spend as little money as possible when renting a dumpster in Springfield. Sometimes, though, the cheapest in Springfield option isn't worth it. Actually, it could end up costing you more in the long run.
Taking the cheapest alternative could mean that you get a dumpster that's too small for your endeavor. After you fill up the dumpster, you will have to pay for another to finish your project. It's usually cheaper to get a bigger size and prevent the hassle.
The most affordable companies in Springfield mightn't include things like drop off and pick up fees. Make sure your quotes include all extra fees. This way you can compare prices accurately to get the very best price. Customer service another major consideration. Some companies keep prices low by cutting corners on service. The last thing that you want would be to waste time looking forward to a truck to arrive with your dumpster.
You are going to typically schedule the quantity of time you want to maintain the dumpster when you first call to set up your dumpster service. This normally comprises the drop off and pick-up dates. Most companies do ask that you be present when the dumpster is delivered. This is essential to make sure the dumpster is put in the most effective location for your project. You don't have to be present when the dumpster is picked up to haul it away.
If you get into your job and recognize you desire pick-up sooner or later than you initially requested, that is no difficulty. Only call the company's office and explain exactly what you want, and they'll do everything they can to accommodate your request. There might be times they can't fulfill your adjusted program precisely due to previous commitments, nevertheless they'll do the best they can to pick your dumpster up at the right time.

It's frustrating when your property has a problem and you're not sure what to do about it. You can waste a lot of time worrying about how expensive it may be to fix and what the best way to have it resolved might be.
We can help by assessing the problem and providing recommendations so you know what you're dealing with.
Most defects we assess are a result of storm damage, botched renovations or general wear and tear.
While your insurance should cover storm damage your insurer may question the extent of your claim. We can provide an independent report that you can use in the claims process to substantiate the damage.
It can be tricky when you believe your builder needs to resolve an issue with the renovation but they are denying responsibility. We can provide an independent building defect report that you can take to your builder to more formally request rectification.
Tradespeople are great to call on when you need to have something fixed, but knowing which trade you need and the extent of the problem before you do could save you a lot of money. Because we don't have a vested interest in fixing the issue we can give you expert and independent advice on how best to tackle it.

It's no secret that over the course of 29 years on the air, The Simpsons have made some crazy and almost eerily accurate predictions. The show predicted in 1998 that Disney would buy out Twentieth Century Fox and even foretold a Donald Trump presidency almost 20 years before he took office.
The show's latest prediction that has been buzzing online is this year's World Cup.
In a 1997 episode titled "The Cartridge Family," soccer fever comes to Springfield, and as a commercial for a game mentions, it'll be a matchup to determine which country is the greatest on Earth: Mexico or Portugal.
Social Media Celebrates Argentina's Thrilling World Cup Win
While there isn't a direct mention of the match being a World Cup game, it is highly likely that Portugal and Mexico, both teams with a great record and dominant presence in FIFA, could go head-to-head in the final game.
However, it will take some time, skill and a bit of luck for that to even work out. The match is definitely possible, especially with Portugal's 1-1 draw with Iran on Monday (June 25), allowing the team to move on to the round of 16. Mexico, on the other hand, needs to get its act together to even have a chance to play Portugal at all. After Wednesday's (June 27) loss to Sweden 0-3, the Mexican team almost lost the opportunity to advance had it not been for South Korea scoring on Germany twice late in their game, eliminating last year's champs and allowing Mexico to pass on to the round of 16 as the group's runner-up.
See the clip from the episode below and make your World Cup predictions!


Here is what I found in Hawaii..... retro! I used to live on the island of Oahu for a while when I was a kid. I went to King Kamehameha elementary school and lived the charmed life of a disheveled little beach kid with tangled salty hair, tanned and barefoot. I made a short visit back a couple of weeks ago and my memories floored me. Mostly as a special place with my family but also that unique Hawaiian style, the vintage flair, the island life and that insane pacific ocean beauty, I was overcome with emotion and nostalgia. It had been 19 years since I was last here and it's a place that welcomes you home like an old friend. Have you been? You should go! It's magical. I didn't have a chance to take as many photos as I would have liked but here's a few and perhaps you can see that retro vibe I'm talking about. Waikiki's 1950s beach front hotels, surf culture and kitsch tiki bars.... take me back! Aloha.
Hello there. Here is part 2 of our road trip to Southern France last summer. (Find part 1 here in case you missed it). Also sharing some of my pictures above of little details that I found along the way. Now as summer approaches again, I am again thinking up new and brilliant ways to travel in style on a budget for a family vacation. Deciding on a location is the first task in planning and choosing somewhere that is not too far away makes everything so much easier and more accessible. There is always something to explore and enjoy wherever you are and many times we don't need to travel very far at all. Lucky us, France is close by nowadays and for this trip we chose destinations that were off the beaten track and not the main touring areas. We drove to France from Switzerland and reached the Provence region in about 6 hours. After spending a few days in Nimes, we then continued on to the coast stopping in Nice for a few nights. There we spent our days at a beautiful coved beach, called Cap d'Ail, located just south of Nice near to the border with Monaco. It's like a secret little beach with a steep access from the village above, where you can swim all day in the turquoise water of the Med, have lunch at the beach club, rent a boat or paddle boards. It's very naturally idyllic and super fun for the kids. The only thing we did in the actual city of Nice was visit the Matisse and Chagall museums. Located right near to each other within walking distance and a must for art lovers. That would be me! Two of my favourite painters in one go, I could not pass it up. I sort of dragged the family up there for a couple of hours and although not as keen on museums as me they really did enjoy it too. The art is undeniably dazzling and the cafe at the Chagall museum is super cute and a good place to grab a bite at the end of your visit.
From Nice we headed back up North stopping in the mountain region above Provence for a few days before driving home. We stayed in a tiny village nestled into the rocky slopes of Roquesteron. This place was amazingly charming and remote. Again we scored on airbnb accommodation with a beautifully restored traditional stone maison. The house had a rooftop terrace which overlooked the valley and we would have our dinners up there each night and watch the sunset. This place was seriously chilled out. There was a really great river that we could walk down to and swim and lay in the sun. It was stunning and very outdoorsy like a national park all to ourselves. The village was very quaint with one bakery and one little market and a tobac or cafe where you could get a beer, a coffee or an ice cream. We hit the bakery each morning for fresh warm baguettes and bought our groceries from the little shop and did all our own cooking with fresh local produce and ingredients. We hardly spent anything and yet it all felt super luxurious. There was no television and we were pretty much switched off digitally. At first we thought that that might bum the kids out, especially the 'teenagers' but they didn't mind at all. They enjoyed being outside at the river all day and in the evenings we listened to music, played cards and actually did the most challenging jigsaw puzzle ever, things we just rarely get to do together anymore, it was cool family fare. Even had a chance to read a book! Hope you enjoy my little travelogue and that you might get some ideas for your next family vacay. Happy trails!
Summer break is right around the corner and we're dreaming up our next getaway. Maybe you are too? Let's face it, travelling with kids gets expensive quickly and it's easy to lose the style and leisure you might have imagined for your holiday in favour of keeping costs low end and subsequently lack luster. An affordable family holiday takes some strategy to organise but with careful planning, attention to detail and a bit of creativity, style need not be compromised. Ok, ok! Yes, of course, living in Europe right now we feel super lucky to be so close to so many amazing destinations and we are determined to see as much as we can. However, like anywhere else, planning a trip is still a challenge and a cost. I like to keep our trips simple but classy, staying off the beaten track and making sure that there is something for everyone. Whether it's a long weekend or a two week vacation, shoestring, camping, road trip or boutique hotel- family travel can be done with plenty of panache! Here are some pics from our road trip last summer to the South of France. We took our Jeep, piled in with pillows, snacks and a thermos of coffee and drove from Switzerland about 6 hours to Provence region in Southern France. Pay attention to details when choosing where to stay. We booked cool, interesting and reasonable lodging through Airbnb. Renting an apartment instead of a hotel worked really well for us as a family of 5 and cuts cost as you are able to shop locally and cook some meals from a proper kitchen. I scoured the Airbnb listings in search of properties with good design and practicality within our budget. We lucked out with two beautiful rentals on this trip. Our first stop was the Roman town of Nimes, with it's charming old town, markets and the best preserved Roman amphitheatre. From Nimes we took day trips through Provence to Avingnon and the Pont du Gard, where we swam in the river beneath the amazing ancient aqueduct. Just hanging at the river all day was a highlight for my kids which cost nothing. We brought our own picnic, swam, climbed olive trees and soaked up the sunshine and the views. We checked out a load of ancient Roman ruins in the region and visited the small town of Saint Remy, famed for Vincent Van Gogh's stay there and where two of his important paintings are from: 'A Starry Night' and 'Self Portrait'. Most of the sights were free or cost very little to enter being heritage sites. Cafes, ice cream and wine as well as shopping at the local markets for our amazing picnics were all inexpensive and less than what we would have been spending at home. As a photographer, making photo albums of our trips is one of my favourite creative outlets. It's true that my camera is one of the first things I pack! I love to photograph and document our travels in a way that conveys all the design and details that we observed. Looking back on our photo albums instantly takes you back to the place emotionally. How about you? What is your travel style? Do you have any favourite destinations or tips for traveling with the family? Stay tuned for Part 2 of this travel post where we make our way to the Cote d'Azur and then back up to the mountain village of Roquesteron above the Mediterranean sea.
One of the best things about living in Switzerland and being smack in the middle of Europe is the travel ops. Sharing a border with Italy and France, two of my favourite places on the planet, has been a dream and makes little trips across easy and accessible. A few weeks ago, my daughter and I made a day trip to Milan for some sweet culture, food and shopping. A 3 hour train ride door to door, we set off on the earliest morning journey and we were in the Piazza del Duomo by breakfast, taking in the magnificent cathedral and mapping out the course of our day over warm cornetti and cappuccinos. Check out our top 5 for Milan in a day links here. Ciao Bella!
Start your morning high and head straight up to the rooftop terrace of Il Bar for coffee and pastries and a magnificat view of the Il Duomo.
Take a quick culture fix: Book online and don't miss Leonardo Da Vinci's "Last Supper" at Santa Maria delle Grazie. Pop in to view the famous fresco in allocated 15 minute visits.
Amazing window shopping begins at Via Montenapoleone. If fashion kills then this is where the scene gets sensational. Some absolute Italian stars: Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace and Gucci to start with. As if fashion is a dream, it certainly is an art form.
Break for lunch here at Taglio or there at Pave.
Meander Via Torino for more boutique and independent shopping in the latter half of the day. Then head back to Milano Centrale to catch the early evening train home and grab a yummy snack for the ride at Bistrot Milano in the station.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major public health problem and the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Despite the modern diagnosis and treatment, the prognosis for patients with TBI remains poor. While severity of primary injury is the major factor determining the outcomes, the secondary injury caused by physiological insults such as hypotension, hypoxemia, hypercarbia, hypocarbia, hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, etc. that develop over time after the onset of the initial injury, causes further damage to brain tissue, worsening the outcome in TBI. Perioperative period may be particularly important in the course of TBI management. While surgery and anesthesia may predispose the patients to new onset secondary injuries which may contribute adversely to outcomes, the perioperative period is also an opportunity to detect and correct the undiagnosed pre-existing secondary insults, to prevent against new secondary insults and is a potential window to initiate interventions that may improve outcome of TBI. For this review, extensive Pubmed and Medline search on various aspects of perioperative management of TBI was performed, followed by review of research focusing on intraoperative and perioperative period. While the research focusing specifically on the intraoperative and immediate perioperative TBI management is limited, clinical management continues to be based largely on physiological optimization and recommendations of Brain Trauma Foundation guidelines. This review is focused on the perioperative management of TBI, with particular emphasis on recent developments.

Since the Droid Turbo is basically a Moto X with a bigger battery, higher-res screen, better camera, faster processor, I think the Turbo should have taken the top spot. Apparently it was downgraded because it's only available on Verizon.
Surprised to not see the M8 on that list.
My point for the top phone of the year... a bit off the path... The Moto G.
Yes... I know... slower processor, light on RAM and storage... lack of LTE.... If this was just a spec contest and nothing more, then yeah, the G wouldn't have any place being mentioned in the same sentence.
But the way I look at it. My pick for phone of the year was one that had the biggest impact. And when I look at the G, I see beyond the specs. I see an extremely capable phone that meets most of the general public's needs, wrapped in an attractive package and priced at a point that is often less than the subsidized price of many of the top tier flagships. The nearest high-end version of that is the OnePlus One... but that phone is built and sold by a dumpster fire of a company and I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.
The G is the People's Phone. If I had to buy a phone for my kids, or recommend one for my father.... or someone who sees mobile phones as appliances (which most do from near as I can tell) and not some all-powerful multi-media warehouse.... I'd say "Get a Moto G".
Other than that... they're all great phones.
they are. I recently grabbed a droid turbo and have been SO happy coming off a GS5. Almost stock Android out of the box and so speedy. Form factor is great (although I really, really wish the Turbo had The Dimple). Display, radios, battery, ad nauseum. I'm on VZW obviously, my GS5 was stolen so the Turbo was cheap after insurance. But I'd pay full retail for the current Moto lineup. Great phones IMHO (I too almost got a HTC M8 last year - great phone as well).
Can anyone recommend a small form Android phone?
