Argosy – 42′ Cruising Yachtīuilt by Foster Sparkman – Built in 1986 and it cost $23,000 with a Ford 135 HP Diesel. I couldn’t hope to buy anything close to it in Australia and so the decision to build was clear. One of the reasons that I decided to build the Aqua Cat is because of the unique design.

The ascent stage was an irregularly shaped unit approximately 2.8 m high and 4.0 by 4.3 meters in width mounted on top of the descent stage. The descent stage served as a platform for launching the ascent stage and was left behind on the Moon. The descent stage contained the landing rocket, two tanks of aerozine 50 fuel, two tanks of nitrogen tetroxide oxidizer, water, oxygen and helium tanks and storage space for the lunar equipment and experiments, and in the case of Apollo 15, 16, and 17, the lunar rover. A one meter long conical descent engine skirt protruded from the bottom of the stage. One of the legs had a small astronaut egress platform and ladder. ![]() The distance between the ends of the footpads on opposite landing legs was 9.4 m. Four landing legs with round footpads were mounted on the sides of the descent stage and held the bottom of the stage 1.5 m above the surface. The descent stage comprised the lower part of the spacecraft and was an octagonal prism 4.2 meters across and 1.7 m thick. The ascent and descent stages of the LM operated as a unit until staging, when the ascent stage functioned as a single spacecraft for rendezvous and docking with the command and service module (CSM). The descent stage dry mass (including stowed surface equipment) was 2935 kg and 8874 kg of propellant were onboard initially. The dry mass of the ascent stage was 2260 kg and it held 2387 kg of propellant. The spacecraft mass of 16456 kg was the total mass of the LM ascent and descent stages including propellants (fuel and oxidizer). The lunar module was a two-stage vehicle designed for space operations near and on the Moon. At 04:51:31 UT on 15 December 1972 the LM was jettisoned from the CM and later fired into the Moon. The LM docked with the CSM (piloted by Ronald E. The LM lifted off from the Moon on 14 December at 22:54:37 UT after 75 hours on the lunar surface.

During the second EVA, which began at 23:28:06 UT on 12 December and ended at 07:05:02 UT on 13 December, the astronauts deployed explosive packages for the active seismic experiment and Schmitt discovered a patch of orange soil. The first EVA was from 23:54:49 UT on 11 December to 07:06:42 UT on 12 December, during which the LRV was deployed and driven and the ALSEP was set up. The LRV was used during EVAs to extend the range of manned lunar exploration. During this time they covered 30 km and collected 110.52 kg of lunar samples.

If anyone reading this has played a game called “Ea Cricket 2007”, this game reaches those levels of problems with its translation. This might have been a small issue had I been playing NBA or a game of such sorts but in a game where reading and management is your main work, this does put an obstacle in your path. The names of players are spelled wrong, common instructions and rules are difficult to read and understand sometimes. But the English translation of the game has many problems. The game is set in French by its default language when you start up the game and that is obvious considering its developer’s origin. Another problem that arises with Pro Basketball Manager 2017 is its translation. Combine that with a myriad of bugs that plague the title and the constant crashes and the playing through it becomes a frustrating experience.

Footnote 2 As such, the approach to verification is “ post facto”: a program is written and only after its creation is it subjected to formal reasoning. The starting point for Floyd ( 1967) is a flowchart of a program to which “state assertions” are added that justify that any execution of the program will be in accord with the assertions. The assertion at the end of the program is a “post condition” describing the overall effect of the program few programs work for all possible inputs and the assertion at the beginning of the program is its “pre condition”.Īlthough strongly related, there is a crucial distinction between the approaches of Bob Floyd and Tony Hoare to the verification of sequential programs. State assertions can be used as annotations on a program and their consistency can be checked against the meaning of the program. Footnote 1 Common to both approaches is the use of state assertions that are predicates defining relationships between the values of variables. The reference points for formal verification of sequential (non-concurrent) programs are taken here as Floyd ( 1967) and Hoare ( 1969). One issue which dogs all three chosen approaches is “atomicity” and this is discussed in Sect. 2 and 3 are brief and are revisited in Sects. For this reason, the initial descriptions in Sects. This is attempted by bringing the three approaches to bear on a common example presented in Owicki’s PhD thesis. The objective is to convey-at least in outline-the technical contribution of each of the three approaches. Readers might find the apparent linearity of these ideas suspicious this point is addressed in the concluding section. The three chosen sources contain key insights on concurrency and represent progress in practicality. Extensive other work by, for example, Carl Adam Petri is not even referenced. There is no attempt in the current paper to identify “firsts”. ![]() ![]() 3 and Susan Owicki’s contribution in Sect. 2, a solo publication by Ashcroft in Sect. The main purpose of the current paper is to review three early approaches to the verification of concurrent programs (joint work by Ed Ashcroft and Zohar Manna is described in Sect. “Interference” is identified as a key technical challenge to reasoning about concurrency in Sect. Contextually there was pressure from machines becoming large enough to run multiple processes, from the ability to link machines and-crucially-from applications. Around 1970, the technical challenges of extending such formal approaches to tackle the verification of concurrent software came into focus. Research in the late 1960s provided a firm basis for showing that sequential programs satisfied their specifications (key papers by Bob Floyd and Tony Hoare are briefly outlined in Sects. ![]() This video lists the tools that professionals use and shows you the wire brushing technique. You won’t need to maintain it as much as a smooth, high-gloss floor. It highlights the naturally occurring grains already within the wood. Oak is wood that responds well to the wire brush process. It’s useful for hiding or blending in blemishes of lower grade boards. The technique results in a more highlighted wood grain with a matte finish. To create it, artisans or machines use long strokes with a wire brush down the length of the board. Wire brushed flooring is a texture between smooth and hand-scraped flooring. Sometimes called the European look, wire brushing removes the softer wood grains on the surface of the board. This is the floor you want if you are going for an antique look. With deep scraping, you’ll see more wear, dings, and nicks than with the light scrape. ” Warning: It’s hard to watch them beat up a perfectly good, beautiful red oak floor. If you’re curious about how to create a hand scrape floor, watch this 3-minute video, “ Distressing Hardwood Floors - DIY Hand Scraping. Scrapping helps to camouflage scratches and dents from daily use. It’s an excellent choice for homes or rooms that endure heavy foot traffic, such as large families with multiple pets. The idea behind the heavily scrapped boards is to make the flooring appear genuinely vintage. 3 - Deep or Heavy Scraped Planksĭeep scraping is one technique to create distressed hardwood flooring. Hand-scraped floors create contrast in modern rooms, and they are the perfect choice for a vintage look. Artisans can use hand tools to create an authentic look for each board so that no pattern repeats itself throughout the room. Most modern flooring manufacturers use milling machines with sanding or gouging wheels set at various heights to create a small wear pattern simulating the look of old worn flooring. ![]() For designers looking for a more antique look, hand-scraped planks offer boards with slight imperfections that create interest and uniqueness. 2 – Lightly Hand-Scrapedīefore power tools and belt sanders, hand scraping was the only way to make a board smooth. Reserve this style of the floor for low traffic areas and elegant dining rooms. They are high maintenance compared to textured wood finishes. The higher the gloss, the more they show every scratch, scuff mark, or speck of dust. Smooth finished hardwood floors come in three categories, including classic, matte, and high gloss. Multiple finish coats provide an elegant, clean look for any room.Ī smooth finish brings a luxurious, sophisticated look to larger areas, especially with dark stains combined with a glossy finish. The top of the board becomes perfectly smooth to the touch after milling or sanding. Smooth floors are the most popular choice that you see in almost every home. In this post, we discuss nine of the most popular wood flooring textures used to achieve a seamless look. One way to obscure it is with texture and finishes.įor a unique look and feel of your new space, consider the different textures, finishes, and techniques available to create a rustic or industrial ambiance. The idea is to place flooring in such a way as not to notice a boundary. Transitions from one room to another or matching new wood flooring to old can be a challenge. Have you ever seen an engineered wood floor where the grain pattern begins to repeat itself? That’s one reason natural wood is so popular because each board is different, and it looks interesting. One of the greatest challenges of laying floors is to achieve a seamless look. The floor flows smoothly without repetition, unlike a parquet floor. When designers talk about a seamless floor, they mean placing the flooring so that there are no unsightly or obvious seams. What is a Seamless Wooden Flooring Texture? In this blog, we’ll unveil the beauty of textured wood, the types you can find, and how they make them. For a seamless textured wood floor, you need genuine solid hardwood. At some point, the pattern repeats, showing the seams where the grains repeat. While engineered floors have come a long way in matching wood’s look and texture, there are limits to the pattern. Why are more interior designers and homeowners looking for a seamless, textured floor? It’s an entirely distinctive look from the standard smooth, high gloss finish you see in most homes.
