![]() It´s even more fun when your boat sails quick. There is still a price to pay and the question remains as to whether the existing 75% mid-girth Code Zero is the best approach under the new VPP.Sailing a boat is always fun, a contemplative and relaxing sensation. The update to the VPP sees the “penalty” noted in the article drop from 0.847% to 0.584%. * Since publishing the ORC has modified the VPP, something they have the right to do, particularly in the early part of the year. In the meantime, sailmakers and sail designers, such as those at Ullman Sails, will be having a very close look at how to minimize the “penalty” for carrying a Code Zero style sail under the new rule.įinally, Ullman Sails sail designers, working under other rules such as the USA ORR rule have already been striving to produce flying sails that whilst not able to circumvent the new ORC rule do offer an alternative approach that may prove useful.It will be interesting to assess the accuracy of that adjustment out on the racecourse. The ORC aims to be accurate with their ratings and have consequently adjusted the VPP.These sails will not disappear overnight with the rating change. Many boats have a 75% mid-girth Code Zero in their sail inventory and they have proven very effective performance-wise. ![]() There are a few points to consider as we move forward. So, what does this mean for the future of the “Code Zero”? Sail selection chart comparing typical Code Zero, A1 and A1.5 use against the region (green) that the ORC VPP has considered the 75% mid-girth. Of course, to not have the Code Zero onboard for a coastal or long-distance race has the potential to diminish performance and the question is whether the existing 75% mid-girth Code Zero is the best approach under the new VPP. Under the new VPP the “penalty” for carrying the Code Zero would be an additional 40 minutes or about an 0.847% increase on corrected time. The changes are not inconsequential! In the recently completed Rolex Sydney-Hobart Race a very well placed TP52 had an elapsed time of approximately 57 hours. The release of the updated Velocity Prediction Program (VPP) by the ORC in January has allowed test certificates to be run and the full extent of the rating changes to be assessed. This is an effort to more accurately reflect their performance and as a consequence could result in a potential increase in rating for boats carrying such sails, which might lead to a different approach going forward. ![]() What this essentially means, is that the new rule does not make the 75% mid-girth Code Zero illegal under the ORC rules but what has changed is the aerodynamic evaluation of such sails. Amongst the summary of changes for 2020 that emerged from the Annual General Meeting of the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) held in October last year was that “For asymmetric spinnakers with SHW/SFL in range of 0.75 – 0.85 aerodynamic forces are calculated with both coefficients for the spinnaker and for the headsail set flying with one giving faster boat speed taken as final.” However, this is set to change due to new rating rules from the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC). Designed to fit within measurements for boats with non-overlapping genoas, the Code Zero measured in as a relatively narrow, flat spinnaker that could essentially be almost three times the size of a non-overlapping jib, whilst attempting to maintain a similar shape to a reaching genoa. For years, the Code Zero, a flatter, more triangular-shaped sail for close reaching, has somewhat circumvented rating rules.

The external factors also called as uncontrollable factors comprise of social factor, natural resources, government and infrastructural factor. There are two types of factors influencing productivity namely external and internal. It is the ratio of net output to the labour and capital input. Total productivity = Total tangible Output It is based on all inputs and can be applied to any manufacturing firm. The disadvantage of Partial productivity measure is that, only one factor is emphasised while the others are ignored hence total results regarding productivity are not obtained. It can be expressed in terms of labour, capital and material and energy by taking the ratio of total output to individual input. There are three types of productivity measures:ĭepending on individual input partial productivity measures are expressed as: It can be defined as the ratio of output to input. Productivity is the quantitative relationship between what we produce and the resources we use. The readymade garments and home textile sectors are heavily dependent on the power loom sector to meet their fabric requirement. More than 60% of fabric meant for export is also sourced from power loom sector. 60% of the fabrics produced in the power loom sector are of man-made. It provides employment to 57.44 Lakh persons and contributes 62 percent to total cloth production in the Country. The decentralised power loom sector is one of the most important segments of the Textile Industry in terms of fabric production and employment generation. In 1930 there are about 3000 power looms in the country while at the end of 2008-2009 it raised to about 22.05 laky power looms in the country. In 1954, for the economic development of the handloom weavers, the scheme of conversion of handloom to power looms was introduced by the The other reason for the growth of the power loom industry was conversion of handlooms into power looms. It was the existence of the decentralised sector of power loom industry. ![]() The labours of the textile mills refurbish the discarded power looms and started the small units as a small and cottage industry. During the great depression period (1929 to 1933) the mill sector started to discard the power looms. The power looms were first introduced in India in the starting of the 20th century. The growth of the power loom industry started with the loosing of the ground by the textiles mills. ![]() The Indian textile industry consists of three distinct sectors representing broadly three levels of technology and Organisation, namely, mills, Power looms and handloom. Keywords: Productivity, Power looms, Critical success factors, ANOVA This data is later analysed using statistical technique such as ANOVA in order to find out the critical success factors affecting the productivity and suggest suitable measures for improvement of the same. The aim of this study is to determine the critical success factors affecting productivity of (textile) power loom industry through data collected using a questionnaire by interview technique. Thus, the growth and overall development of textile industry will have a direct impact on the improvement of nations economy. The ministry of textile has stated in its Annual report 2012-13 that textile industry contributes to Indian economy in the form of 4% GDP, 14% industrial production and 11% of total manufacturing export. Productivity increase is an important indicator of economy and market value of firms.

The Hamport software ( ) also uses this software interface and install it automatically. Tuning is made via Omni-Rig software interface ( ), which should be installed separately. In this case auto-tuning by RIT is impossible. Take to attention that not every transceiver has programmable RIT. Tuning can be made by RIT or by VFO according selected option. Auto-tuning is made after click on spectrogram or ruler below. In this mode transceiver radio frequency is changed to consist RX frequency to TX frequency. The mode of automatic transceiver frequency control can be switched on by the " Setup > Tune RIG by" menu. It jumps to the peak frequency of the strongest signal after detecting a pause of more than eight "dots" in the current signal. The button " GotoMax" jumps to the peak frequency in the bandpass, The " AutoGTM" button switches on the automatic mode of "GotoMax". But this action is not made after click on the ruler under spectrogram. When the option " Setup > Interface >AFC at mouse click" is selected CwGet immediately adjusts the RX frequency to the nearest station after every mouse click on the spectrogram regardless of the "AFC" button state. User-selected frequency is shown at spectrogram by short red line. maximal deviation from last user-selected frequency. Second number is global deviation in hertzs, i.e. maximal deviation from current frequency. The first number is local deviation in hertzs, i.e. The numbers to the left of the AFC button determines the limits of AFC. The " AFC" button (auto frequency control) adjusts the long red line (working frequency) to the closest peak frequency. To move a visible part of spectrogram to left or right drag it by mouse with Alt key pressed. " Alt-7" hotkeys change frequency scale of spectrogram. To change the TX marker position, click on the desired frequency by right mouse button (or by left mouse button with "Ctrl" key pressed).

Now that the cat is out of the bag, here’s hoping that director Adam Wingard has more surprises coming in the story itself. “ Blair Witch” (September 16): One of the best surprises this year happened at the San Diego Comic-Con, when viewers previewing a horror movie called “The Woods” was revealed to be a sequel to “ The Blair Witch Project.” It was a brilliant way to avoid outside sequel pressure and create a great deal of hype along the way. Aaron Eckhart, Valerie Mahaffey, Delphi Harrington, Mike O’Malley, Laura Linney and Anna Gunn star. Aside from the positive buzz this film received last weekend when it played at Telluride, “Sully” also has the very curious aspect of being shot almost entirely with IMAX cameras, which should offer a scope and thrill of its own so long as Eastwood takes advantage of it. Tom Hanks plays the airline pilot who crash landed a plane on the Hudson River in 2009. " Sully" (September 9): Clint Eastwood returns to the director’s chair after the huge box office success of 2014’s “ American Sniper,” this time focusing on another revered American hero, Chelsey “Sully” Sullenberger. And of course, all of these titles will be reviewed at during their week of release. Be sure to check in on which films are good or bad, and take note as to how each of these movies have helped keep cinema alive. We’ll be covering many of these titles in the next few weeks as our festival coverage ramps up, so be sure to check back at our festival page for updates. (Sorry, "The Edge of Seventeen," "The Handmaiden," "Hacksaw Ridge," "Keeping Up with the Jonses" and many, many others.) These are just 50 titles that indulge my interests and optimism during the upcoming next fourth months, featuring theatrical releases of the mainstream, indie and foreign variety. But even the lesser entries will help keep the experience of film alive by lighting up the silver screen.īelow I’ve assembled a list of films that I’m excited for this season, a task that proved difficult with so many titles that had to be cut. Some will very likely be very bad, if not disastrous. Some of them are preceded by their huge passion to exist, as with Warren Beatty’s “Rules Don’t Apply,” essentially 40 years in the making, or Martin Scorsese’s long-gestating missionary epic “Silence.” Others boast, at the very least, exciting casting choices (“Queen of Katwe”), promising directorial association ( Ang Lee with his “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk”), or thrilling collaborations ("Moana"). Some films listed below have already been seen by yours truly, some I’ve read about from recent festivals and there’s plenty that only exist for now to the public as a poster, an IMDb page and maybe a trailer. I’m a ruthless optimist, so the next four months of movies big and small seems like the change of menu we need. ![]() So the Stroboscope is a valuable tool for mere mortals. "beat" heard from nearly-coincident partials/overtones). The Stroboscope is a tool that can provide help to somebody who does not have the ear training and experience to tune intervals by ear (using the I also assume that the human piano tuner would have intuitive ideas just by looking at the piano (a tiny console or spinet will have a vastly different string scale than a full upright a 4.5' baby grand will have a vastly different string scale than a 9' grand).īut I think that the real value of having the upper partials easily viewable would be to quickly resolve problems, or more likely - quickly tune intervals. I think the spinning rings on a stroboscopic tuner may provide some hints as to the general nature of the individual instrument: the stringing scale, and the string gauges or stiffness. With a real-live stringed instrument, the upper partials or overtones are very interesting to the human piano tuner. (As George Takei said from the back seat: "I read." That is my only qualification with regard to piano tuning or stroboscopic tuners.) SteveO, please identify any foolishness in my text below, and elaborate if possible. I was hoping that PianoTuner SteveO would answer the question, because I have scant qualifications in this arena. QuoteWhat would you do with that information?What would you do with information about the overtones? What's funny is, I can't write the name of the software or the forum will reject my post, presumably because it looks like spam. It's got lots of other stuff that I haven't explored including an overtone graph. I've used its waveform display to inform my voicing process and I use its volume graph to help me equalize the pickup placement. In addition to all that, the tuner I use now provides other information I really like. (That's actually just an oscilloscope program, not the tuner I currently use) Plus, the big monitor display is nicer to look at than a handheld device. The computer in my shop is wired into the amplification system so using software tuners is actually easier than hooking up stand-alone units. After using the Strobo-Flip for a while, I wanted to see if anything else could do better. Particularly in the treble, they all have trouble locking onto the fundamental pitch. Why did you abandon yours to move on to a software tuner?Īlmost every tuner I've tried has struggled to provide meaningful information about the entire range of a Seventy Three.

He made a page on his blog containing the googlewhack of Belle de Jour and Brooke Magnanti that allowed him to see if anyone googled the two names. Īccording to The Guardian a fellow British blogger guessed her identity in 2003 but kept it secret. In 2004 The Sunday Times featured a front-page headline incorrectly identifying Sarah Champion as the author of the blog based on erroneous textual analysis by Donald Foster. Guesses as to who Belle was ranged from Rowan Pelling to Toby Young according to The Telegraph. There was speculation in the media for several years as to the real identity of the author, whether Belle really was a call girl. The weblog Belle de Jour: Diary of a London call girl first appeared in October 2003 and won the Guardian newspaper's Best British Weblog 2003, in the second year of the award's existence. The expression is adapted from the French phrase "belle de nuit", which translates as "lady of the night", i.e. In the film, "Belle de Jour" is an expression translating literally as "daytime beauty", as Deneuve's character frequented the brothel during the daytime, when her husband was absent from home. Magnanti's pseudonym was derived from the 1928 novel Belle de jour by Joseph Kessel and the 1967 film of the same name starring Catherine Deneuve, directed by Luis Buñuel. Relocating to the United Kingdom, Magnanti studied for a master's degree in genetic epidemiology and PhD in forensic science from the University of Sheffield in England. She entered university at the age of 16, going on to receive a B.S. She graduated from the private Clearwater Central Catholic High School where she was named a National Merit Scholar in 1992. Early life īorn in New Port Richey, United States to an Italian American father and Jewish American mother, Magnanti grew up in Clearwater, Florida. ![]() She is honoured in BBC's 100 Women in 20. In November 2009, fearing her real identity was about to come out, Magnanti revealed her real name and occupation as a child health scientist. In 2007 Belle's blogs and books were adapted into a television programme, Secret Diary of a Call Girl starring Billie Piper as Belle, with the real name Hannah Baxter. Her first two books were UK top 10 best-sellers in the nonfiction hardback and nonfiction paperback lists. Remaining anonymous, Magnanti went on to have her experiences published as The Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl in 2005 and The Further Adventures of a London Call Girl in 2006. Her diary, published as the anonymous blog Belle de Jour: Diary of a London Call Girl, became increasingly popular as speculation surrounded the identity of Belle de Jour. While completing her doctoral studies, between 20, Magnanti supplemented her income by working as a London call girl known by the working name Taro.
