Basic Bunkering Series of 3 items
For most seafarers, the taking of bunkers is simply another routine operation. Care will be taken of course, but beyond that, little is understood about where bunker fuels come from, how they are bought and sold, the various methods of delivery and, once on board, the impact these fuels may have on the efficient running of the engine.
It is perhaps, because of this lack of understanding, that ships are increasingly falling foul of poor quality or contaminated bunker fuels: often with disastrous consequences. Moreover, even though care is usually taken during a bunkering operation, the fact that over three-quarters of the total oil pollution of the sea comes from bunkers, would suggest that proper procedures are not always in place.
Basic Bunkering, is aimed at seafarers as well as shore personnel, is the most comprehensive training package ever produced on the subject. Consisting of three separate video packages complete with a trainer's guide, all major aspects of the bunkering process are highlighted. Introduced by a Presenter, each video employs graphics and animation to illustrate the main messages.
Part 1. Introduction and Commercial
Part 2. Technical
Part 3. Operations

Behaviour Based Safety Series of 4 items
In an effort to further encourage all personnel to be safe and to work safely at all times, therefore reducing any potential for injury, Northern Marine Management have implemented a safety process called 'Behaviour Based Safety ' (BBS) onboard all managed vessels.
The BBS process reinforces that 'safety' is part of the day to day operation of the vessel and is made up of the following key ingredients:
Identifying why people behave in a certain way and what causes behaviours An established list of 'Key Safety Behaviours' Proper observation techniques Quality observations to find barriers to working safely Effective supervision Providing positive feedback Collecting and analysing the data from observations Removing barriers identified by observations
BBS does not replace any other part of Northern Marine 's safety programme. BBS is designed to supplement all the existing procedures in place to assure that the work environment is safe and all personnel have the skills and equipment they need to perform a job safely.
To assist with the implementation of the process, Northern Marine have produced a series of 4 video programmes entitled:
Part 2: What makes us take risks
Part 3: Observer training and feedback
Part 4: Managing the process
BBS has helped Northern Marine achieve a 48% reduction in their Loss Time Injury rate in the first year of implementation. These programmes are now available from Videotel for use by any shipping company planning to implement BBS.

Industry at War (Defence Against Drug Traffickers), An Series of 2 items
The international effort against illegal drug traffickers who use commercial shipping to transport their merchandise is gaining momentum. Several hundred shipping companies have already signed the US Customs Service's Sea Carrier Initiative Agreement. The war is on in earnest.
The first line of defence is shoreside. It involves a much closer scrutiny of customers, employees and service companies.
Improved security measures must also control documentation, cargo handling and access to premises. The second line of defence is shipside. This involves closer scrutiny of documentation, container seals and cargo integrity. Officers and crew on board must be checked more vigorously. Improved security measures must control access to both the vessel and cargo areas. Meticulous searches of all compartments must be conducted on a regular basis. Communication channels with the shoreside authorities must be enhanced.
Two videos packages have been made in association with the US and UK Customs Services for different target audiences.

There are three video packages in this series aimed at helping officers and crew by explaining how they can assist in any forthcoming survey by organising, planning and generally being prepared.
This is so they can help the surveyor to conduct the survey smoothly and with the minimum of delay.
The three separate modules are:
Part 1 - Loadline Survey
Part 2 - Safety Construction Survey
Part 3 - Safety Equipment Survey
Load Line Surveys - Part 1
This looks at the need to prepare carefully before a Class Society surveyor arrives on board to conduct a survey. The video covers the main elements that will be checked as part of a Loadline survey such as areas of the hull plating and deck that give rise for concern.... Learn More

Marine Risk Assessment Series of 2 items
Risk Management or Formal Safety Assessment is a concept whose time has come. Both superintendents ashore and senior managers on ships are continually bombarded with new legislation, new paperwork and new procedures. To select what really matters is becoming more difficult and time consuming. Risk management offers an effective way of prioritising what needs to be done to manage both commercial and shipboard operations in the most cost-effective and safety-conscious way. The ISM Code forms the basis for a risk management system.
Both the theory and the practical side of risk management are scrutinised in this two part video series and the associated study guide which is an essential part of the package.
The aim of the series is to show how to assess risks in operations and manage them. Good managers have always known about the risks and hazards and done their best to avoid them. This has often been done unconsciously or even intuitively. Risk management seeks to bring this process out into the open and make it a central feature of any business or shipboard operation. To be effective risk management must result in cost savings; how and why it can do this is outlined. In an environment where one disaster can cause a business to fail, it is an essential technique for any commercial organisation.

The garfield thing is your antigravity machine that heats up metal and warps it and you measure the warp and say wow look at the anti-gravity, but you already know this. It's linked here with your anti-Einstein papers but what's really apparent in this thread is you don't even understand relativity well enough to discuss it, much less debunk it.
It's not an either/or thing and if you understood relativity at all you would know that, but you don't understand it.
Fairly certain you are well aware of it, you have had other accounts here before.
Back on the Ask Anything about Physics thread, it was uncanny that the previous incarnations basically ranted in exactly the same way, about exactly the same things, using exactly the same tactics and deflection, exactly the same misunderstanding of things. Even down to the same insults and same styles of insults.
I also see now the writings are being published in a known fake journal too IOSR Journal of Applied Physics (IOSR-JAP) basically a "We will publish anything for a bit of cash"
The most recent paper being absolutely hilarious in just how bad a scientist the author appears to be... the writing is also sloppy, and of extremely poor scientific quality.
And then move somewhere else and saying "Look the colour is different its 255,241,241!" is a journal not worth any scientific credibility whats so ever. Is shows how naive and simple minded the authors treatment of scientific approach, analysis and in general... everything is. A phone camera and its drivers will typically white balance things, and the author showing white light data as being 255 255 255 shows he is saturating the CCD... clearly showing he has no grasp at all about how his instrument works at all. Nore does he understand bit depth... something that id expect an engineer to maybe understand, maybe not a marine engineer but id still expect someone who has used any instrumentation to understand it, especially someone who is a pilot and all round GR disproving genius... clearly there is some disparity here and a massive gap in said persons learning.
The author claims to be a marine engineer and a flight instructor... both claims i have seen you make, well you claimed flight instruction which yep totally appears to give us the opinion that... yep you are the same person.
Again this question indicates that you don't understand general relativity, but also that you don't understand the Pound Rebka experiment. It also shows that you can't follow the discussions in this thread where this aspect of the Pound Rebka experiment has been explained in some detail, first by Occam'sRazor04 on page 1 where he addressed this and then I explained it further.
I don't hold high hopes that this third explanation will sink in for you either but here goes.
Pound and Rebka put the gamma ray source on top and the absorber detector underneath it in which case general relativity predicts the gamma rays at the absorber detector will be blueshifted.
They also ran more tests with the gamma ray source on bottom and the absorber detector on top in which case general relativity predicts the gamma rays at the absorber detector will be redshifted.
So by asking the question you keep asking about which is it, redshift or blueshift, you keep demonstrating that you don't understand general relativity at all, nor do you understand the Pound Rebka experiment.
The question is specific to gravity.
Cute to pretend you are not connected at all isn't it Hyperboles.
SO anyway, we are still waiting on a mathematical proof that shows you are right Hyperboles/Nochzwei/Savvy. Still waiting for you to prove you understand the basic principle of thermal expansion also.
Your "higher gravity" doesn't specify the relative positions of source versus detector. What is in higher gravity, the source or the detector? In contrast, I specified the relative positions of the source and detector and the shifts predicted by relativity, so there should be no ambiguity in my explanation, but you still don't get it.
It's a good thing I didn't get my hopes up. That was as clear as I can make it. Maybe you'll never get it.
As Arbitrageur has stated along with others many times is that your understanding of reference frames and how the General Theory of Relativity works is deeply flawed or naive.
The frame of reference is the most important thing when considering difference between locations. If you take photons of 1 wavelength, produced in a high gravitational field, and transport them to a location where you detect them in a relative low gravitational field, you totally expect that light to be redshifted as predicted by the theory of relativity.
This is what was measured in the paper. There is no contention what so ever.


Thank you Gary of Fiction is Food, for nominating me for 3- Day Quote Challenge. As I mentioned during the first day, I will be quoting few favorite lines from Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist.
How many times have we grumbled about things going wrong in our lives, while doing nothing about them? Though it doesn't require any effort to lament and blame the circumstances when something goes wrong, complaining hardly makes us feel better. In fact, it makes our state worse. The reason for screwed up lives may not be us always. Yet, there are certain ways to make our lives better irrespective of the pain caused by us or others, or the situations. One such way is self-improvement.
Consider disruptions in relationships between individuals due to differences in attitudes or misunderstandings. During this phase, people either stop communicating due to the sudden eruption of their egos, or slowly turn a victim of emotional breakdown due to the distance from their loved one. Making efforts to amend the situation is the best way to handle a stir in relationships. What if nothing works? You've tried to make the situation better, but in vain. The problem might sometimes be beyond the capability of both the individuals involved. What can you do then? Will you keep pondering over the ruined relationship and curse your fate? Will you drench yourself in agony and pain since you are helpless? Thinking of any of the above stated options will not only deteriorate yourself, but also make you weak and vulnerable.
The right way to handle crisis, when situation gets out of hand or when you feel nothing else would make it any better, focusing on improving oneself is the most effective option! Each of us have ample scope for improvement in one way or the other. If you can't think of any ways to become a better person, then you might have to re- evaluate your perception about yourself! You may get apprehensive as to how can improving oneself make everything better, when the problem isn't about the individual but external factors? Yes, the dark phase of your life is not an outcome of your actions. It might be because of someone else- Someone's attitudinal deficiency, their health issues or circumstances. Irrespective of the reasons for happenstance, improving thyself makes everything better!
How? Focus on improving yourself. You may be good at many things, but may be lacking certain traits or habits. Try to spend time on developing such habits, especially during hard times. It may be exploring a hobby that you always wished to learn, improving public speaking skills that might help you become a better communicator, inculcating discipline in your life to get rid of laziness or focusing on your health by initiating a fitness regime which you never had. The list can go endless on proper analysis! These may sound lame and ineffective at the time of crisis, but the impact of improving ourselves can make a huge difference on our outlook and our lives. After a good number of days of being involved with making yourself better, you will notice that your life will magically turn better! The circumstances that resulted in your pain, will slowly start vanishing for whatever reasons. This is no wizardry! You were so involved in making yourself better, that the time invested in self- improvement has never made you realize the time that has gone by! Which otherwise would have appeared 'forever', if spent lamenting, worrying and depressed!
Time heals everything. Every pain, every obstacle, every fear, every failure that you are going through now is as temporary as the season. Meanwhile, strive to make yourself better and everything will fall in place eventually, magically!
Thoughtful yet again. You've articulated quite well the need to keep improving and keep having a positive outlook. Too often we stop making an effort when another step is what's required. And yes, having a positive outlook even at the worst of times does help in managing the mood and influencing the future.
It is 😊 If you don't see the triggers then there's no way to hit the pause button !

"One of the key things we need to think about with the Internet of Things is the proliferation, or volumes of data, that we're going to be experiencing. One of the things we learnt in developing national electronic health records, and thinking about interpolity between clinical systems, was if we start with this concept that we can provide more information – better information – to a clinician to help them do their job, and hopefully a set of that information is relevant to a consumer as well for them to be more engaged in their healthcare, that we were concerned about a proliferation of that data. And this was still very small sets of information about discharge summaries and referrals and the like. So when we look at the Internet of Things, what we're talking about is devices; small objects that have a very specific purpose. And those small objects are literally going to generates huge amounts of very simple data that needs to be processed.
So one of the concerns that I guess I have is how are we going to deal with that volume of information? And the answer to that is the concept of analytics, and I guess the ideas from Big Data and visualisation of data as well, so we've got to have that analytics idea in there. But then the ultimate problem I think we need to look at is this idea of how do we hand power to those devices? Because the endgame of these devices is for them to start making decisions on our behalf. So where you apply an algorithm, that says based on input, do something, these devices are supposed to get to a point where they are autonomous and effectively working together. And this is where I come back to that idea, of we're giving over power if you like to these devices, so how do we make sure more human-centred outcomes and human-centred design still remains at the core of what these devices do for us?
We talk about algorithms that are going to process that information and we write algorithms today in software, like I said a simple input, simple output. This idea of artificial intelligence, or deep learning algorithms if you like, is where we are allowing the system to learn how to learn and to learn how to respond and once again this is a very important part but because we've got so much information and the sort of connections that we can make between the data that make it useful is by and large going to be discovered by the system itself. In some respects it goes beyond the realm of the human mind to imagine and I think there are some very deep ethical questions that need to be asked. We get very interested in the 'what' of genomics, the 'what' of Internet of Things, the 'what' of the innovation; but it's important that in business we continue to take a systems based view and systems based view makes us look at things like why we're doing it, and are we getting what we thought we were going to get out of it, and what are the sets of questions we need to be asking today when we imagine that future and then how do we go about doing that. Its important that we are understanding the learning's that we get as we go along so that we can reapply them. So not just the 'what', but why did we do it, where are we going and how do we get there and what do we need to keep doing.
It's absolutely imperative that the CIO's, but as part of the whole business, are considering these sorts of ways of technologies as they impact society. In many respects it's sometimes hard to imagine healthcare, and Internet of Things if you like, but when you think about it there are lots and lots of devices that have a very specific purpose so rather than saying "well healthcare is late to this market" I should think healthcare is ahead of the curve; we just haven't realized it. And so in this instance, you've got devices that have a very specific purpose to do an MRI or an image or to analyse blood or whatever it might be, and it's that theory of how that device does its role within the clinical practice and then how the data that's generated from that device makes its way into a clinical system that show up in front of the human beings, doctors when you're interacting with systems. So, a lot of information system that puts lab results into a clinical information system that hold patient's data and it's that overlap of data. So I should think there's a lot of lessons from healthcare about how devices that have a specific purposes generate information can actually have that information overlapped with other data-sets and then decision supports and those sorts of ideas apply to it such that we get value out of all that data and actually do something meaningful with it.

A Day in the Life – Navy Pier
October 7, 2016 Events Author admin
Navy Pier celebrated its 100th birthday in 2016. When this iconic city landmark was first proposed by visionary Chicago architect Daniel Burnham more than a century ago, Municipal Pier (as it was then known) was intended to be a free, public place for Chicagoans and visitors alike to gather, commune with the lakefront, take a boat ride, and otherwise enjoy life in the Windy City. Today, Navy Pier is returning to its roots as "The People's Pier" through a comprehensive physical and programmatic transformation designed to make the Pier a more inviting, attractive space for guests to connect with nature, the city, and one another.
I helped capture the Pier's transformation over the course of the summer of 2016, attending events such as the opening of the Centennial Wheel, the Pier's 100th birthday celebration, and its first-ever Pier Pride event. The photos in this gallery provide a glimpse into the lives of those who have visited Navy Pier—those who have helped to ring in the Pier's second century as a revitalized public space that inspires discovery and wonder at every turn.

A network+ refers to a set of computers and hardware that are being interconnected with the help of communication channels and enable the proper sharing of information and resources. One of the major processes in a network+ is responsible in either sending or receiving data from or to a minimum of 1 process which resides in a remote device. It can also be defined as a recognizable group of devices that are mainly connected to each other. It is classified based on various characteristics including its scale, organizational scope, benefits, topology, medium which is used in transporting data and the communications protocol which is being used.
The use of a network+ actually started between the 1940s and the 1950s when George Stibitz started to use a Teletype machine as a means of sending instructions to a set of problems. It should also be noted that a network+ comes with unique properties including its ability to facilitate more efficient and easier communication through instant messaging, video conferencing, video telephone calls, email, chat rooms and telephones and its ability to allow the fast sharing of data, files and other forms of information.
