FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken along line  1 - 1 of FIG. 1.
A load lock chamber  5 and unload lock chamber 6 are so disposed as to face the cassette tables 2 a and 2 b, and a conveyor 13 is disposed between the cassette tables 2 a, 2 b and the load lock chamber 5 and the unload lock chamber 6. The load lock chamber 5 is equipped with an evacuating device 3 and a gas introduction device 4, and can load unprocessed wafers in the vacuum apparatus through a gate valve 12 a. The unload lock chamber 6 is similarly equipped with the evacuating device 3 and the gas introduction device 4, and can take out processed wafers to the atmosphere through a gate valve 12 d. The conveyor 13 is equipped with a robot having X, Y, Z and ÷ axes, which operates so as to deliver and receive the wafers 20 between the cassette 1 a, 1 b and the load lock and unload lock chambers 5 and 6 and the dummy wafers 30 between the cassette 1 c and the load lock and unload lock chambers 5 and 6.
A sensor  18 for measuring the intensity of plasma light is disposed at an upper part of the etching chamber. The measured value of the sensor 18 is inputted to a controller 19. The controller 19 compares the measured value from the sensor 18 with a predetermined one and determines the timing of cleaning inside the etching chamber. The controller 19 controls the conveyors 13 and 14 to control the transfer of the dummy wafers 30 between the cassette 1 c and the etching chambers 11 a to 11 c.
For instance, the wafers  20 are sequentially loaded in the order from above into the etching chambers 11 a, 11 b, 11 c by the conveyors 13 and 14, and are etched. The etched wafers are stored in their original positions inside the cassette 1 a by the conveyors 14 and 13. In this case, from the start to the end of the operation, without changing the position and posture of the cassettes, the unprocessed wafers are taken out from the cassettes and are returned in their original positions where the wafers have been stored, and are stored there. In this manner, the apparatus can easily cope with automation of the production line, contamination of the wafers due to dust can be reduced and high production efficiency and high reduction yield can thus be accomplished.
Dummy wafers  30 which are stored in the cassette 1 c and are not used yet or can be used because the number of times of use for plasma cleaning is below a predetermined one are drawn by the conveyor 13. At this tire, dummy wafers 30 stored in any position in the cassette 1 c may be used but in this case, the position numbers of the dummy wafers in the cassette and their number of times of use are stored in the controller 19, and accordingly dummy wafers having smaller numbers of times of use are drawn, preferentially. Then, the dummy wafers 30 are loaded in the load lock chamber 5 disposed on the opposite side to the cassette 1 a by the conveyor 13 through the gate valve 12 a in the same way as the transfer at the time of etching of wafers 20. After the gate valve 12 a is closed, the load lock chamber 5 is evacuated to a predetermined pressure by the vacuum exhaust device 3 and then the gate valves 12 b and 15 a are opened. The dummy wafers 30 are transferred by the conveyor 14 from the load lock chamber 5 to the etching chamber 11 a through the transfer chamber 16 and are placed on the sample table 8 a. After the gate valve 15 a is closed, plasma cleaning is carried out in the etching chamber 11 a in which the dummy wafers 30 are disposed, under a predetermined condition.
In the interim, the gate valves  12 a, 12 b are closed and the pressure of the load lock chamber 6 is returned to the atmospheric pressure by the gas introduction device 4. Next, the gate valve 12 a is opened and the second dummy wafer 30 is loaded in the load lock chamber 5 by the conveyor 13 in the same way as the first dummy wafer 30, and evacuation is effected again by the evacuating device 3 to a predetermined pressure after closing the gate valve 12 a. Thereafter, the gate valves 12 b and 15 b are opened and the second dummy wafer 30 is transferred from the load lock chamber 5 to the etching chamber 11 b through the transfer chamber 16 by the conveyor 14. Plasma cleaning is started after the gate valve 15 b is closed.

When litigation is the path, our team offers extensive skill and experience in litigation to best represent our clients' interests.
Based in states with some of the country's most restrictive laws and regulations governing employers – including California and New York – members of the McGlinchey Labor and Employment team advise on the full range of workplace issues and employment disputes facing private and public companies. We provide counseling and training to enable our clients' human resources and legal departments to meet regulatory compliance obligations, to forestall and mitigate disputes, and to handle the many and varied day-to-day operational situations which, if unattended, can ensnare even award-winning employers.
We advise management and train human resources personnel on their statutory obligations in a number of routine areas such as privacy, leaves of absence, background checks, and workers' compensation.
We also work side-by-side with employers to address more complex issues including:

What we See on the Horizon
Contact your McGlinchey Labor and Employment team for our latest insights about the following:
COVID-19 (Coronavirus). Employers must be ready to address the delicate balancing act that must be performed between ensuring that workers have a safe (disease-free) workplace and protecting employee rights, particularly confidentiality.
Paycheck Fairness Act. Seeking to address the gender pay gap – a statistical finding that women's annual earnings are significantly less than men's for the same jobs – federal legislators have responded by proposing the Paycheck Fairness Act. If enacted, the legislation would significantly affect litigation brought under the Equal Pay Act.
Employer liability for health plan benefits. Not content simply to write off patient expenses which health plans refuse to pay, some hospitals and health care providers are suing employers to pay the expenses which should be paid by health plans.
Harassment claims in the age of the #MeToo movement. Where in the past employees may have conspired to cover up untoward behavior in the workplace, the #MeToo movement has created a climate in which harassment claims are ever more likely – including claims related to behavior which occurred months and years ago.

Kidney stone composition in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Abdulrazack Amir, Brian R. Matlaga, Justin Ziemba, Salwa Sheikh
Introduction: Urolithiasis is a globally-distributed disease; however, its prevalence varies across countries and regions. Countries in the Middle East have been reported to have particularly high nephrolithiasis prevalence rates. To date, however, we have an incomplete understanding of the composition of stones seen in this region. Therefore, we performed a study to characterize stone composition over a 14-year period in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Materials and methods: A retrospective review of all adult patients who had the composition of their upper urinary tract calculi analyzed at Johns Hopkins Aramco Healthcare (JHAH) between 1999 and 2013 was performed. Patient demographics and pathology results were obtained from the electronic medical record. Results: A total of 1,747 stones were analyzed in the study period. The results are presented in the Table. Male patients predominated (79%). For both men and women, the majority of stones were calcium oxalate: 85.2% male, 85.9% female. Uric acid stones were the next most common: 10.1% male; 9.0% female. Overall, there were no significant differences between gender with regards to the distribution of stone types. Conclusion: This study represents one of the largest characterizations of stone composition in the Middle East. There remains a significant gender disparity in stone prevalence in the Eastern Province of KSA, with males affected to a significantly greater extent. Calcium oxalate is the most common type of stone, and this is true for both men and women. Future investigations of dietary and environmental factors can build on these initial epidemiologic findings.

Materials and methods: A retrospective review of all adult patients who had the composition of their upper urinary tract calculi analyzed at Johns Hopkins Aramco Healthcare (JHAH) between 1999 and 2013 was performed. Patient demographics and pathology results were obtained from the electronic medical record. Results: A total of 1,747 stones were analyzed in the study period. The results are presented in the Table. Male patients predominated (79%). For both men and women, the majority of stones were calcium oxalate: 85.2% male, 85.9% female. Uric acid stones were the next most common: 10.1% male; 9.0% female. Overall, there were no significant differences between gender with regards to the distribution of stone types. Conclusion: This study represents one of the largest characterizations of stone composition in the Middle East. There remains a significant gender disparity in stone prevalence in the Eastern Province of KSA, with males affected to a significantly greater extent. Calcium oxalate is the most common type of stone, and this is true for both men and women. Future investigations of dietary and environmental factors can build on these initial epidemiologic findings.",

Q: how can i align the "fa-message" and the avatar and text along each other i tried to align fa-message icon , the avatar and text along each other but the text is moving under the avatar
this is my code:

    Welcome,
John Doe

A: You can increase your width or use css property display: inline-block or remove that
 used before the name.

A:

i.picsname2 {
  display: inline-block;
  vertical-align: middle;
  line-height: 1.2;
}
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

    5

      Welcome,
John Doe

A: Using flexbox it's an easy task. Adjust then the space between elements.

.flex-row-centered {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  align-items: center;
}
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

    5

    Welcome,
John Doe

Or (since you tagged the question with bootstrap-4) using bootstrap 4 classes:

<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

    5

    Welcome,
John Doe

A: Fix #1: font-awesome icons need empty elements

Fix #2: Your tags need to be nested properly. The A and SPAN elements are overlapping. So try this.

    5

Now you can set the style display:inline-block; to the span element so it becomes a box preventing text wrapping under the icon.

    Welcome,
John Doe

Next the reason the .picsname2 text is on a new line is because you've used a
 element to break line.
Either try:

        5

        Welcome,
John Doe

or remove the line-break like this:

        5

        Welcome, John Doe

The image will need to be a fixed size to prevent the height changing. Even if we use Flex box you don't want the height of the navbar changing too much otherwise your wasting content space on mobile devices.

Review: 'Bright Fields: The Mastery of Marie Hull'
Milly West
Special to The Clarion-Ledger
Bruce Levingston, an acclaimed concert pianist, has given the art world a gift. After a lifetime of being exposed to great art in museums and private collections in New York, he returned to Mississippi and reacquainted himself with Marie Hull's work. A lot has been written and yet, he found more was needed.
With the careful turning of every colorful page of "Bright Fields: The Mastery of Marie Hull," I began to know Marie Hull. The pages flow like a bubbling spring, making sense naturally, reinforcing every connection and each new adventure.
On the first page there is the vibrant detail of "Tangle of Lilies," and almost every page thereafter is punctuated with splashes of color, especially pink, her favorite. From the "Flamingos" of her Florida series to the painting that bears the book's title, "Bright Fields," we find what the author refers to as "unexpected aesthetic pleasure."
The sincerity of Levingston's presentation is an expression of something more than mere admiration; it is something permanently ingrained in his heritage as a Southerner, a lover of art, and a member of a Mississippi community capable of such nurturing as to produce this daring and remarkable artist, Marie Hull, a woman strong in her roots who grew stronger with every year of her life.
In the late 1920s, just before she left for France, Spain and Morocco, Hull began painting "working" people. Her first in this series was the strong and colorful portrait of Annie Smith (1928), who worked in the Hull household. Levingston writes that "With 'Annie Smith,' Marie Hull portrays her subject as a human being first and actually gives her name as the title of the painting, also a notable feature."
With bold brush strokes in the red and blue plaid head piece, and with those same colors reflected more subtly in the face, the strong cheek, Hull paints a woman who surely had her own hopes and dreams. The series continued after her return from Paris with notable portraits of other African-American women — Melissa, Sally, Mandy, and the strong and tender portraits of former slaves Solomon Gross and John Wesley Washington ("An American Citizen"). She continues with her series of sharecropper portraits, calling on local tenant farmers as sitters.
The women and men in all of these portraits share a common dignity as if they know they are part of something important. Levingston describes these portraits as being all the more powerful because of their "compelling pathos" and "empathy." One cannot look at these works and not agree.
In compiling the book, Levingston turned to writers who could speak with clarity and passion to Hull's work. He invited the renowned painter Philip Jackson to discuss "Still Lives." And he could not have found a better contributor than his brother Jon Levingston whose two impressive essays on "Faces of the Depression" and "Abstract Lyricism" show a sincere and learned understanding of Hull's growth as an artist and of how she fell into place in 20th century art history.
Importantly, Levingston also includes "voices and perspectives of women, especially those who spent their lives in the world of art." In her riveting foreword, Michael Merryday describes how, as a young woman, Hull knew that she could not stay in Jackson if she wanted to realize her goal of becoming a serious and notable artist. So she traveled, even after her marriage. "The fact that Hull continued her artistic education after marrying is in itself remarkable," writes Merryday. "The Hull's union was based on mutual affection, companionship and respect, and Emmett Hull encouraged and supported his wife's artistic ambitions."
In her essay, art historian Mary Garrard speaks to the theme of gender and profession. Hull taught art in her home for many years but, Garrard points out, had she been a man, it would most likely have been in a university. Her work as an art teacher "equals her considerable talent and success as a painter."
The use of blown-up "detail" of the images throughout this book is both powerful and delightful. Without these "close-ups," we would not know Hull's work as completely. Levingston invites us to look and look closely. He gives artistic freedom to the photographers allowing them to use their own eye, focus in on a section of the painting that drew them in, and shoot it. The photography of Will Jacks, Chris Pike and Gil Ford is superb. I actually found myself touching the page once, certain that I would feel the paint.
A running theme throughout the book, from every essayist, is some variation of the words exploration, experimentation and adventure. Jon Levingston, in describing two of Hull's landscapes, painted in the late 1960s, says they "reveal the artist in her boldest, most adventurous and daring form." And he adds, "She is 77 years old at this time."
In closing her introduction, Merryday borrows a line from Marie Hull's friend Eudora Welty. "A sheltered life can be a daring life as well. For all serious daring starts from within." Nothing truer could be said about Marie Hull's adventurous and full life.
Milly West is an internationally recognized photographer. In 2014, she received her second Photography Award from the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters. Her photographs are in many public collections across the South and in her two recent books, "Cuba for Keeps" and "Clarksdale 1985" (Krowsworkbooks). She lives in Oxford.

All Quiet on the Western Front All Quiet on the Western Front is by Erich Maria Remarque. This book was an extraordinary war story. Remarque uses excellent words and phrases to describe crucial details of the book. Remarque had first hand experience because he was a German in World War I. So he expresses his opinions through Paul the main character of the book. One of the strongest themes in this book is that war makes man inhuman.
From the author's point of view soldiers was often compared to various nonliving objects that were inhuman. The soldiers are compared to coins of different provinces that are melted down and now they bear the same stamp(236). Remarque thinks that the soldiers mind state has been changed from when they were school boys the stamp being the mark of a soldier changing them forever. Also soldiers are compared with "automatons" or more commonly referred to as robots(105). Remarque uses this analogy to give the impression that the soldiers are enduring the same feeling over and over again as if they were inhuman.
In this classic war story Remarque also describes the soldiers as inhuman wild beast in addition to the nonliving objects. Paul states that when soldiers reach the zone where the front begins they are transformed into "instant inhuman animals"(56). Remarque is saying that the zone is like a magical line; once they cross it there not the same person as they were on the other side of the line. He says "We have become wild beasts. We do not fight we defend ourselves against annihilation"(103). Here Remarque states that the German soldiers are only defending what they have not attempting to take what they don't. Paul says that they become something like men again after they get the food we need(106).
Remarque is implying that the drive for food changes them into terrifying wild beasts but when they get the food they change back into humans again.


The pack said chilli garlic and oh boy was there garlic. I'm a pretty big fan of chilli (why else would I do this) but I am equally as big a fan of Garlic. The heat was tolerable I don't think any of us really had to sit back and re-evaluate but it had a nice little after burn just to remind you that chilli was on the ingredients list. What was great about this ramen was the slap in the face of garlic gave it a great depth with the chilli. As with most spicy ramen, the broth is always going to be the variable that catches you off guard. You finish your noodles and think that's all she wrote, only to be reminded by a bowl of chilli-garlic water that you have to chug down.
I too loved the flavour of this! That garlic! (I am a HUGE garlic fan). I also thought I would be pretty home free in regards to punishment; I was feeling great by 7pm! Around 7.30pm i had that gastro-tastic feeling in my lower abdomen; I tried to brush it aside, maybe a fart will clear it, but after a small gas release I knew this was more. I had three trips over the course of the evening to the bathroom; two of these resulted in release. I would describe both as a rapid, stingy releases (the second was significantly more stingy than the first, but both exits were extremely rapid. I had to use the toilet brush). Luckily there were no repercussions in the morning. I guess that's something.
This was a 6 flamer for me. Surprisingly regrettable for me. Don't eat if you have to meet your girlfriend/wifes parents for dinner.
Garlicky goodness! This was a delicious bowl O' Ramen, and to top it off I seem to have escaped any regrettable porcelain visits*, even topping off the day with some goat curry. Perfection if you're in an Italian/Asian fusion mood – this broth is reminiscent of a minestrone but spicy, minestrone arrabiatta if you will.
*not a typical reaction compared to fellow reviewers.
2 flames for me, nice easy afterbite for the chilli aficionados, and a tasty introduction to the ways of Chilli-Fu for the uninitiated.

Влади́мир Петро́вич Казначе́ев (род. 26 июля 1928, деревня Соловьяновка, Людинковская волость, Бежицкий уезд, Брянская губерния, РСФСР, СССР — 23 декабря 2020, Херсон) — несовершеннолетний партизан Великой Отечественной войны. Традиционно рассматривается как один из пионеров-героев. Почётный гражданин города Херсон.

Биография
Владимир Казначеев родился в крестьянской семье. Достаточно рано лишился отца, жил с матерью, старшей сестрой Анной и младшим братом Анатолием. Рос обычным сельским мальчиком, учился в школе, вступил в пионеры, любил ходить в лес и на речку ловить рыбу. В 1941 году окончил 4-й класс средней школы.

В начале войны
22 июня 1941 года Володя ушёл с раннего утра на рыбалку. Вернувшись вечером домой, узнал от матери, Елены Кондратьевны, о нападении гитлеровской Германии на СССР и начале войны. Как впоследствии, уже через много лет, будет вспоминать об этом моменте Владимир Петрович, отреагировал он тогда на эту страшную новость с чисто пионерской уверенностью: «Мы разгромим их!»

Уже в первые месяцы войны на Брянщине, к которой стремительно приближались немецкие войска, по приказу коммунистической партии развернулась деятельность по организации специальных подпольных групп, которым надлежало действовать на оставляемых Красной Армией территориях. В состав одной из таких групп попала и мать Владимира, которая после оккупации немецкой армией района стала связной между сформировавшемся в этом районе Клетнянским партизанским отрядом и подпольем. Пекла она и хлеб для партизанского отряда в подпольной пекарне, расположенной в лесном урочище «Красный дворец». Немецкая разведка сумела обнаружить это предприятие, и оно было уничтожено посланным туда карательным отрядом. Мать Володи была арестована и 6 октября 1941 года расстреляна оккупантами.

Начало боевого пути
После смерти матери Владимир с сестрой и братом решили перебираться в местный партизанский отряд. Командир отряда встретил их словами: «Ну и пополнение!..» — однако, учитывая заслуги перед партизанами их погибшей матери, согласился принять сирот.

В первом же своём задании, заключавшемся в разведке положения дел в деревне Берёзовка, где, как оказалось, и размещалось немецкое карательное подразделение, Володя был схвачен «полицаем» и лишь по случайности не попал в немецкую комендатуру. Это испытательное задание стало для мальчика своего рода боевым крещением.

В 1942 году в брянские леса пришло партизанское соединение имени Щорса под командованием А. Ф. Фёдорова, будущего дважды Героя Советского Союза. Володя решился перейти в этот отряд, так как местные партизаны, по его мнению, считали его слишком молодым, поэтому очень редко доверяли серьёзные задания. В отряд Фёдорова переходило несколько опытных разведчиков из Клетнянского отряда, в числе которых был Геннадий Андреевич Мусиенко, выходец из Соловьяновки, и Володя сумел уговорить его взять их с сестрой с собой.

В 1942 году Брянщина становится одним из центров партизанского движения. Не были исключением и Клетнянские леса, где сосредоточились несколько партизанских отрядов. В середине 1942 года немецкое командование начинает полномасштабную операцию против брянских партизан. Уничтожение отряда имени Щорса было одной из целей этой операции. После тяжёлых кровопролитных семидневных боёв партизанам блокированного соединения А. Ф. Фёдорова (потерявшего к этому времени около половины личного состава) удалось выйти из окружения и уйти в Черниговскую область Украины. Сумели установить радиосвязь с Москвой. Из Ставки Верховного Главнокомандования пришёл приказ разделить подразделение на два отряда, один из которых, под командованием Н. Н. Попудренко, должен был оставаться в Черниговской области, а второму, под командованием Фёдорова, предстояло идти в Западную Украину и Белоруссию на соединение с отрядами С. А. Ковпака, для того, чтобы действовать в глубоком тылу противника. 3 марта отряд Фёдорова отправился в путь. Был в его составе и Владимир Казначеев.

Юный подрывник
Около Гомеля и Брагина подразделения Ковпака и Брагина соединились и после ряда боёв, форсировав Днепр и Припять, ушли в Западную Украину. Из Москвы было получено задание: в каждом отряде должны быть созданы специальные группы подрывников и диверсантов. Комплектование групп шло на добровольных началах, и Володя Казначеев подал рапорт на зачисление в одну из таких групп. Командир отряда не хотел брать пионера в диверсионную группу, мотивируя это тем, что человек с образованием 5 классов, не прошедший даже школьный курс физики, не сможет работать со сложными электрическими минами. За Володю заступился комиссар отряда, и предложил зачислить пионера в группу, но только при условии, что он сдаст все экзамены по подрывному делу на «пять» (учителями у подрывников были доставленные авиацией из Москвы специалисты). Владимир Казначеев, горящий желанием отомстить врагу за смерть матери, с огромным энтузиазмом принялся осваивать минное дело, электротехнику и взрывотехнику, сдал по окончании обучения экзамены на «отлично» и был зачислен в группу подрывников.

Соединению Фёдорова, было поставлена задача парализовать работу крупного Ковельского железнодорожного узла. Эта операция известна как «Ковельский узел». Отряд, в который входила группа Казначеева, действовал на напряжённом 2-х путном участке направления Брест — Ковель. Первое задание по взрыву поезда, на которое Володю взяли в качестве подрывника, столкнулось с проблемой: группа из восьми человек ночью заблудилась и вместо того, чтобы выйти к железной дороге, очутилась на краю труднопроходимого болота. Проводник из местных жителей, оказался в растерянности. Володя, как самый лёгкий в группе решился идти первым. Сквозь сумерки он разглядел мелкие кустики, растущие на кочках, и проложил к ним свой курс. Он шел, не оборачиваясь, уверенный, что товарищи помогут ему, если оступится. Дважды он оступался и оказывался на краю гибели, но твёрдо продолжал идти вперёд. В итоге он и его товарищи вышли на твёрдую почву и подошли к путям. Но место было не очень хорошее, у самого ДЗОТа. Подрывник определял порядок действий группы при каждом конкретном минировании и Казначеев решил, что будет пробираться с миной к железке именно здесь. Осторожно волоча за собой мешок с шестнадцатикилограммовой миной, подросток пополз по неровной местности к дзоту. Достаточно быстро он преодолел простреливаемое пространство и попал в «мёртвую зону»; затем, миновав и дзот, проползши буквально у его края, приблизился к насыпи. Вся работа собственно по минированию заняла около двух минут, показавшиеся новичку вечностью. Закончив работу, Володя благополучно отошёл обратно тем же путём, оставшись незамеченным охраной. Появившийся через некоторое время немецкий транспортный эшелон был подорван.

Ещё не раз будет ходить Владимир Казначеев на минирование железнодорожных путей. Всего на его счету 10 подорванных эшелонов противника. (За это был представлен к званию Герой Советского Союза, но не был награждён из-за юного возраста.) О том, каким опасными была каждая из этих вылазок, говорит тот факт, что за весь период «рельсовой войны» из пятнадцати подрывников в отряде Казначеева в живых осталось только пятеро, всего отрядом в течение этого времени был уничтожен сорок один эшелон. Однажды Володя был на волоске от смерти: выпущенная заметившим его охранником пуля попала в руку.

После войны
В августе 1944 года Владимира отправили учиться радиоделу в партизанскую школу, по окончании которой он работал до 1946 года радиооператором в Таджикской ССР. В 1946 году поступает и в 1951 году заканчивает с отличием Херсонское мореходное училище. По окончании учёбы в 1951 году работает в Херсонском морском агентстве «Инфлот», начальником которого становится в 1957 году. В 1961 году окончил Одесский институт инженеров морского флота. В мае 1965 году от Министерства морского флота был на 5 лет командирован в Алжир в представительство Черноморского морского пароходства. После возвращения опять работал начальником морского агентства «Инфлот». Затем снова был направлен в заграничную командировку - работал во Франции, Бельгии и Голландии. Далее опять работал директором Херсонского морского агентства «Инфлот» до января 1997 года, после чего вышел на пенсию.

По выходе на пенсию поселился в Херсоне. Умер 23 декабря 2020 в возрасте 92 лет.

I've been using the format of the LJ icon like graphical Haiku. The 100x100 pixel and 40K file size limits are like line counts and syllabification. But an LJ icon, like a Haiku, has non-physical constraints. Mine have stories behind them. They're puzzles. They relate to the dual audiences of my close friends and random strangers on the net. I'm sure I could find other threads to tie them together.
I wonder how you'd formalize the stylistic aspect of the LJ icon art form?

National Guard, Coast Guard Rescue Fishermen
MOFFETT FEDERAL AIRFIELD, Calif. -- California Air National Guardsmen from the 129th Rescue Wing, in a joint mission with the U.S. Coast Guard, successfully completed the rescue of two distressed fishermen aboard a fishing vessel about 1,400 miles off the coast of Acapulco, Mexico.
On Sunday, Sept. 2, the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center in Florida contacted the 129th Rescue Wing concerning an injured fisherman aboard the Mirelur, an Ecuadorian fishing vessel. The fisherman was experiencing severe abdominal pain and required immediate medical attention beyond the capabilities of the fishing vessel's staff.
On Monday, Sept. 3, an MC-130P Combat Shadow airplane and two HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopters from the 129th RQW departed Moffett Federal Airfield for Mexico. The Combat Shadow flew to the location of the Mirelur, and 129th RQW pararescuemen - highly trained special operations medical personnel - parachuted into the Pacific Ocean before boarding the Mirelur. Once on board, the pararescuemen learned that another fisherman required medical treatment and began treating both persons.
On Tuesday, Sept. 4, the pararescuemen and patients were transferred from the Mirelur to the Morgenthau, a U.S. Coast Guard cutter sailing toward the coast of Mexico. The patients continued to receive medical treatment from the pararescuemen and Morgenthau's medical staff.
On Wednesday, Sept. 5, the two HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopters, accompanied by two MC-130P Combat Shadow airplanes, flew to the Morgentha's location in the Pacific Ocean. The two injured fishermen and four pararescuemen were hoisted off the cutter onto the Pave Hawks and flown to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. After landing in Cabo San Lucas Wednesday evening, the fishermen were transferred to an ambulance and taken to a local hospital for further treatment.
"This mission demonstrates the adaptability of the Air National Guard to fight wildfires in California one moment, and then save the lives of civilians in the Pacific the next," said Col. Steven J. Butow, 129th RQW commander. "I am extremely proud of our airmen and their selfless efforts to save the lives of these fishermen."
This rescue brings the total number of people saved by the 129th RQW to 953.
The primary mission of the 129th RQW is to conduct its wartime search-and-rescue duties anywhere in the world. In addition to its combat mission, the unit also works closely with the Coast Guard and other civil agencies on domestic civil-response missions throughout the year. Equipped with Combat Shadow aircraft and Pave Hawk rescue helicopters, the 129th RQW has performed a wide variety of civilian search-and-rescue missions, including responding to distressed persons aboard ships, lost or injured hikers, and conducting medical evacuations during natural disasters.

What the dickens is going on at Area 51?


As a tree service company, we find that we sometimes need to highlight all of the services that we offer. To be fair, this is understandable, as often we are only seen my many people when we are out and about helping to clean up in the wake of storms and severe weather.
But there is so much more that we can bring to anyone who's home has trees, shrubs and large bushes.
The first thing that we bring is our years of expert experience and training! This means we are well placed to offer advice and guidance on your trees, shrubs and bushes. This could be to offer advice on trimming and pruning, on how to promote healthy growth – even the kinds of trees your soil could support if you want to plant more. At the other end of the scale, we can investigate storm damage or symptoms or disease or infestations. This can help cure issues early before they become big problems!
One of best services we offer if you want happy, healthy trees is our comprehensive tree trimming service. It may seem counterproductive, but cutting back your tree growth in a controlled manner actually promotes healthy growth in both the crown, the foliage and in the root system. That gives you a happy, healthy tree that is better able to survive extremes of weather and, most importantly, looks fantastic.
Sometimes trees need to be removed, and we have the tools and the experience to do it safely and efficiently. Whether it has been damaged by weather, by disease or just plain old age, if your tree has collapsed or is looking in danger we can come in and make sure it is felled safely. After it is down, we will also take away the tree and dispose of it for you, being careful to protect your yard at all times.
Once a tree has been felled and removed, there is often the question of what to do with the stump. Leaving it is not always the best idea, as it will inevitably rot which can cause a number of issues. Both the size of the stump and its location in your yard will have big impacts on how we can safely remove it. We have a number of options at our disposal however, including highly effective grinding machines, and we can talk through all your options at the time.
Finally, we offer a 24 hour emergency service because when a tree falls, or is damaged, it can be imperative it is dealt with quickly to prevent possible danger to people and property. Whether it is after a storm or any time of the year, we are standing by to offer rapid assistance should you require it. If you are interested in any of these services or would just like a little more information about them, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
We have been the top tree service, removal & trimming company serving Minneapolis & St. Paul area of MN for many years and continue to serve you with pride and dedication. Contact us for your free quote today.

Are Schools Bullying Kids Over High-Stakes Testing?


In partnership with ALA, ProQuest is committed to ensuring that Master's degrees in library and information science become more accessible and affordable for talented individuals. Since 2001, ProQuest has funded 142 Spectrum Scholars.
When it comes to awarding the Spectrum Scholarships, ALA and ProQuest seek broad participation of diverse librarians in order to provide the next generation of leadership in the transformation of libraries and library services.
We recently spoke with Meagan Daniels, one of the 2014 winners, about her scholarship.
Q. Congratulations on receiving the Spectrum Scholarship! Can you share how the support will help you in your pursuit of a graduate degree in library and information science?
A. I am thankful for the generous support of the Spectrum Scholarship, which will allow me to complete my degree. I plan to use the scholarship to cover tuition and fees in my final semester of graduate school.
I am looking forward to one of the final courses I will take on usability. The course is based around a semester-long group project in which 4-5 students select a system or service to study, then proceed to conduct a series of evaluations and other analyses, generating reports and recommendations along the way.
Q. What are you concentrating on in the program?
A. I'm working on a general LIS degree. I am focusing my electives on courses that will help me manage a library program that serves people with disabilities, including a course on technology and disability.
Q. What inspired you to pursue a career in library and information science?
A. Immediately after earning a bachelor's degree, I interned at the State of Michigan's Library for the Blind for a year and a half. I discovered that I loved working at a library. I felt good that I was doing something to help patrons, and I could see the difference I was making. I helped patrons find the books they liked to read and helped them learn how to operate different pieces of assistive technology for people with vision impairments.
When the internship ended, I spent a year working at my local county library for the blind and physically impaired. That experience solidified for me that I like working at libraries. I enjoyed the constant appreciation I received from people and the opportunity to help patrons get relief from their frustration with equipment. In the process, I got to learn about technology that was new to me and expand my knowledge of assistive technology. I loved that, too.
Q. Describe any organizations you're involved in and your career experience in the library information field so far.
• The Multi-cultural Ethnic Information Exchange (MIX) is an organization for minority and international students at UMSI. We host social and educational programs, such as our annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Symposium.
• The Multi-Cultural Leadership Council, formed last year by volunteers in other minority graduate student groups on campus. We are a network for each other and try to support each other. We also are a collective organization making sure that diverse voices are heard in terms of issues faced by graduate students on campus.
• Other organizations I'm in include the U-M student chapter of the American Library Association (ALA), Students with Disabilities and our Allies Group (SDAG), Students of Color of Rackham (SCOR) and the Young Alumni Council of my alma mater, Eastern Michigan University.
Q. What do you hope to do in your career after you complete the MLIS program?
A. I plan to work at a library for the blind and I hope to help users of assistive technology learn how to operate equipment successfully. I don't like the idea of a user buying a new piece of technology then just letting it sit in a drawer because they can't get training on how to use it.
Q. What do you see as the most popular or up and coming field in the library and information program?
A. Librarians are focusing more on social networking as part of their jobs, both to tell what the branch offers to patrons, as well as to share individual job expertise.
Q. What do you find most exciting about the future of library and information work?
A. I like the fact that libraries are becoming computer-centered, though still holding on print books. Without computers, it would be much harder to achieve my goal of earning my degree.
Q. What is the best piece of career advice you have received thus far?
Q. Finally, what can you tell us about yourself that we might never guess?
A. I love listening to all types of music. I have Pandora stations ranging from classical Baroque, to a cappella mixes of Pentatonix, to jazzy Manhattan Transfer, to my favorite pop legends the Backstreet Boys, to New Age ambient instrumentals and today's rock.

Polaris shuts down the Victory brand
Lance Oliver
Polaris Industries is shutting down the Victory brand after 18 years and is putting all its motorcycle chips behind the Indian brand.
"This was an incredibly difficult decision for me, my team and the Polaris Board of Directors," said Polaris Industries Chairman and CEO Scott Wine in a news release announcing the change. "Over the past 18 years, we have invested not only resources, but our hearts and souls, into forging the Victory Motorcycles brand, and we are exceptionally proud of what our team has accomplished."
The news release stated that the company sees greater potential and strength with the Indian brand it acquired. "This decision will improve the profitability of Polaris and our global motorcycle business, and will materially improve our competitive stance in the industry," said Wine.
Polaris said the company will help dealers liquidate existing inventory and will provide parts support for 10 years.
Polaris has been hit by several blows lately. The company suffered expensive recalls for its RZR off-road vehicles (owners were told not to ride them because of fire hazard) and the on-road Slingshot. Sales of snowmobiles and ATVs have also been declining. While motorcycles have been a relative bright spot for the company, they still account for a small share of revenue.
Obviously, Polaris feels it has a better shot at hitting critical mass in the market with the Indian brand than with Victory.
I don't have to tell you what this means if you're one of those who have commented on our previous stories about how you're hoping Victory will be the American company that finally produces a high-performance sport standard or ADV bike. Indian is investing in flat-track racing, but other than that, it's hard to see how this will lead to any performance bikes. Instead, it looks like a retreat to the traditional position of big cruisers forever for the U.S. market.
Also, be sure to see Lemmy's take on the news.
