C: The original design of the sled kite has two straight spars running down the kite, and a tail at each end of the spars. The pressure from the air keeps the kite open while it flies. There are many different variations of this type of kite. One-way is the over all size, but some sleds are less than 3 feet long. Extra spars are less common and rare on sled kites. A wide tail, vent holes near the bottom instead of tails, and inflatable spars. These are just a few ideas to start on. The size is a big

stakeholders because of the removal of the Brent Spar oil platform and problems in Nigeria. The relevant stakeholders involved in this case were consumers, investors and specially the local community that were affected with pollution caused by the company operation. What are the key ethical issues within the case? Are there other issues that are relevant to the discussion of the case? 1) The first ethical issue arises from the need for Shell to dispose of Brent Spar, the oil platform located in the North
Although Shell had the support of the UK government regarding its deepwater disposal option through the issuance of the disposal licence, Shell ultimately decided not to sink the Brent Spar due to “its decline in sales along with the public pressures of its European consumers” (Zyglidopoulos 2002). This demonstrates that merely complying with the legal obligations is not enough to justify corporate actions which ignore the public concerns
solely on the fact that it’s a religion following a god. In the poem “A Man Adrift on a Slim Spar”, the phrase “God is cold” (Crane) is repeated constantly throughout. This phrase is only written in this poem, but it is apparent in the telling of the other poems, that “God is cold”, and that it’s expected for that point to come across to the reader. And if they hadn’t read “A Man Adrift on a Slim Spar”, they would of found, most likely, through the other poems that it is implied that “God is

with Spar and noted in the lawsuit that she frequently had irrational outbursts; particularly when she felt something made her look bad on the job. While on the job, Ayon discovered that an employee who was a friend of Spars misused the company credit card and was possibly stealing from the ranch. Ayon also saw evidence that Spars misused the company funds at times. According to the lawsuit, when she brought her concerns regarding the misuse of company funds/theft from the company to Spars, her concerns
Jacket Rig The jacket platform fixes the structure in the seabed using piles and includes three parts such as topside module, jacket and pile foundation. The jacket platform is characterized by good adaptability, high safety and high reliability and has become the primary structure form in the development of beach and shallow sea oil and gas field. . The template was derived from the function of the first offshore structures to serve as a guide for the piles. The piles, after being driven, are cut
Offshore engineering is a new and rapidly developing field. Even though the main interest is still oil production related, offshore structures are also widely used for energy production from ocean waves, mining, port structure and other similar fields. By definition an offshore structure can be defined as the structure or a facility which is being installed in marine environment, mainly in the sea in order to produce and transmit electricity, gas, oil and also other resources. Offshore structure
fun and entertaining read by any means. At times I found myself reading a couple pages just to get myself tired and ready for bed. However I did feel that this book was very educational and brought up some great points and ideas. Written by Debora Spar, a Harvard professor, I found myself struggling through some chapters simply because of the vocabulary and advanced ideas that she proposed. For example, when she explained the four phase model, I found some of that to be a little confusing because
Structural Analysis of Aircraft Structures Introduction Aircrafts are usually built from components like wings, fuselages, tail units, engines, flight controls surfaces, stabilizers, main rotor assembly, tail rotor assembly and landing gears with a very few exceptions as per design. Each component has one or more categorical functions and must be designed to ascertain that it can carry out these functions safely. A fixed wing aircraft possesses wings, fuselages, engines, flight controls surfaces
CH-113 Labrador is a versatile tandem rotor transport helicopter with Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) rotor blades. These rotors are composed of a honeycomb core and a titanium spar both wrapped with GFRP, and a protective titanium erosion plate on the leading edge of the rotor blade. The honeycomb core and titanium spar are attached with glue and held firmly in place by the GFRP. To apply GFRP first the glass fibers are wrapped around the structure and then soaked in a plastic resin. Once the GFRP
Bombardier – Bombardier is one of the biggest manufacturers of transport in the world. They have got factories throughout the world such as Canada, Northern Ireland and America. Bombardier have been through a long journey s a company to the place they are today. It all started in Canada when a young Joseph – Armond Bombardier manufactured a snowmobile to help people travel in the snow. When he passed away in the 60’s the company was taken over and focused on transport such as planes and in 1986

Rhodes established DeBeers Consolidated Mines in 1888 to manage his assets. DeBeers allowed Rhodes and other suppliers to control the all-inclusive supply of diamonds by setting high market prices and regulating the output of diamonds into the market (Spar, 2006: 197). Ernest Oppenheimer gained control of DeBeers in 1929, after the death of Rhodes in 1902. The Central Selling Organisation... ... middle of paper ... ...14, April 16]. 2.

comparable in nature. Since goods are homogenous, firms feel committed to vie for any relative point of interest that they can increase over their opposition. The more homogeneous the product in any industry the further we would expect to see competition (Spar and Yoffie 155). Another factor is transaction costs, the more difficult and time consuming a relocation will be the less likely it will occur. The stickiness is the resistance of a cost to change, in spite of changes in the more extensive economy
The Merriam-Webster dictionary gives us a simple definition of love as a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person (Merriam-Webster). We recognize that this could be romantic, filial (parent-child), or platonic love. Humans by nature have an almost innate desire to be loved but our ability to truly conceptualize it is based on personal life experience. Those experiences usually define or distort love in our eyes. Relationships, as most honest people would confess, are not easy. They
WhenI was 4 years old, I remember watching the Olympic games on TV and saying to myself, “I wanttowin a gold medal.” That dream of mine was fulfilled after 10yearswhich was the most cheerful movement of my life so far. Moving to the US was a major milestone in my life, because this transfer meant that I had to leave my relatives and friends with whom I grew up for 12 years. Living in US means leaving something that I love the most. After moving to the UShadto get adjusted to the new environment

The Structure of an Airplane The idea of flight has fascinated people for centuries, even to this day, which is why I decided to research on airplanes. When I researched the history on planes, I was surprised at the effort and the time people long ago spent trying to make a machine that flies. I also wondered, like many, how an airplane is able to fly and sustain in the air. Wanting to know the answers to these types of questions I had, gave me the determination to really researched this topic
