Joe: 40th Anniversary reproductions 2.1 Packaging 2.2 Figures 3 References 3.1 Links 3.2 External links // G.I. Joe: America's movable fighting man (1964-69)The Hassenfeld Brothers (Hasbro) of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, began selling the first "action figure" targeted especially at boys in the early 1960s. The conventional marketing wisdom of the early 1960s was that boys would not play with dolls, thus the word 'Doll' was never used by Hasbro or anyone involved in the development or marketing of G.I. Joe. "Action figure" was the only acceptable term and has since become the generic description for any posable doll intended for boys. 'America's movable fighting man' is a registered trademark of Hasbro, and was prominently displayed on every boxed figure package.The driving force behind the concept was Don Levine, who in 1963 was creative director of Hasbro Toys. Stan Weston of Weston Merchandising Corp., a product development company, approached him with the idea of a military-based toy line that would include figures and many accessories. Stan Weston credits Larry Reiner, then head of the games division at Ideal Toys, with the notion of an articulated figure, based on conversations he had with Mr. Reiner regarding the concept. Sam Speers, then of Hasbro's product development team, is primarily credited with the specific almost 12" tall articulated figure design as produced by Hasbro; his name appears on the patent# 3,277,602 "Toy figure having movable joints", assigned on October 11, 1966. The all-important packaging graphics were sub-contracted to Thresher and Petrucci Art Studio, a company based nearby that had previously produced freelance work for Hasbro.The Hasbro prototypes were originally named "Rocky" (marine/soldier) "Skip" (sailor) and "Ace" (pilot), before the more universal name G.I. Joe was adopted. The initial product offering featured members of the four branches of the armed forces as follows; Action Soldier, Action Sailor, Action Pilot and Action Marine, with accessory sets immediately available for each branch. It was correctly assumed that competitors would try to emulate or outright copy the concept, so the idea was to offer a broad range of accessory items from the very start.The ongoing situation in Vietnam, and the growing anti-war sentiment of the late sixties signaled the end of the early years of G.I. Joe; by 1969, He was no longer a soldier/sailor/pilot/marine, but rather an Adventurer; he was marketed under the "Adventures of G.I. Joe, and the line consisted of Adventurer, black Adventurer, Aquanaut, and Talking Astronaut. Instead of military sets, the mostly recycled materials from earlier years were given names such as "Fight for Survival" "Danger of the Depths". "Mysterious Explosion", "Secret Mission to Spy Island" and "Mouth of Doom". Everything would change the following year, as G.I. Joe received lifelike hair and beards, courtesy of Hasbro's U.K. licensee; Palitoy. See G.I. Joe Adventure Team for more information on the later series of G.I. Joe.For more in-depth information and specifics, please refer to the books listed in the reference sectionHead variationsFour hair colors were offered in 1964; Blonde, Auburn (Red), Brown and Black. Eye colors were specifically matched to hair colors; Blonde and Auburn hair came with brown eyes, Black and Brown hair came with blue eyes. In 1965 an American-ethnic version of the basic soldier was offered; it was simply a caucasian feature figure molded in brown vinyl instead of the pink used otherwise. Some very early issue figures appear to have eyeliner, and these heads seem more prone to shrinkage than later variants. In 1966, a European "foreign" and Japanese head version was released, with the advent of the 6 "Action Soldiers of the World' releases. In 1967, talking variants were also released. Late Black, Red, Blonde and Brown talker heads were of a softer vinyl, essentially the same as those used for flocking in the Adventurer series introduced in 1970.Basic figureThe figure was loosely based on the artist's mannequins still available today; the basic figure had multiple points of articulation, previously not found in any children's toy. The advertising claimed "21 points of articulation", however, if one actually counts each individual pivot contact point, there are 19; head-to-neck, neck-to-torso, shoulder-to-torso (2), biceps-to-shoulder (2), elbow...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about mini toy cars, home ice makers, .

It is thus a shape transformation process with material retention. The flange region (sheet metal in the die shoulder area) experiences a radial drawing stress and a tangential compressive stress due to the material retention property. These compressive stresses (hoop stresses) result in flange wrinkles (wrinkles of the first order). Wrinkles can be prevented by using a blank holder, the function of which is to facilitate controlled material flow into the die radius.Contents1 Process 2 Variations 2.1 Workpiece Materials and Power Requirements 2.1.1 Drawing force(lbs) 2.1.2 Tool Materials 3 See also 4 References 4.1 Bibliography // ProcessThe total drawing load consists of the ideal forming load and an additional component to compensate for friction in the contacting areas of the flange region and bending forces at the die radius. The forming load is transferred from the punch radius through the drawn part wall into the deformation region (sheet metal flange). Due to tensile forces acting in the part wall, wall thinning is prominent and results in an uneven part wall thickness. It can be observed that the part wall thickness is lowest at the point where the part wall loses contact with the punch, i.e. at the punch radius. The thinnest part thickness determines the maximum stress that can be transferred to the deformation zone. Due to material volume constancy, the flange thickens and results in blank holder contact at the outer boundary rather than on the entire surface. The maximum stress that can be safely transferred from the punch to the blank sets a limit on the maximum blank size (initial blank diameter in the case of rotationally symmetrical blanks). An indicator of material formability is the limiting drawing ratio (LDR), defined as the ratio of the maximum blank diameter that can be safely drawn into a cup without flange to the punch diameter. Determination of the LDR for complex components is difficult and hence the part is inspected for critical areas for which an approximation is possible.Commercial applications of this metal shaping process often involve complex geometries with straight sides and radii. In such a case, the term stamping is used in order to distinguish between the deep drawing (radial tension-tangential compression) and stretch-and-bend (along the straight sides) components.VariationsDeep drawing has been classified into conventional and unconventional deep drawing. The main aim of any unconventional deep drawing process is to extend the formability limits of the process. Some of the unconventional processes include hydromechanical deep drawing, Hydroform process, Aquadraw process, Guerin process, Marform process and the hydraulic deep drawing process to name a few.The Marform process, for example, operates using the principle of rubber pad forming techniques. Deep-recessed parts with e,ither vertical or slopped walls can be formed. In this type of forming, the die rig employs a rubber pad as one tool half and a solid tool half, similar to the die in a conventional die set, to form a component into its final shape. Dies are made of cast light alloys and the rubber pad is 1.5-2 times thicker than the component to be formed. For Marforming, single-action presses are equipped with die cushions and blank holders. The blank is held against the rubber pad by a blank holder, through which a punch is acting as in conventional deep drawing. It is a double-acting apparatus: at first the ram slides down, then the blank holder moves: this feature allows it to perform deep drawings (30-40% transverse dimension) with no wrinkles.Industrial uses of deep drawing processes include automotive body and structural parts, aircraft components, utensils and white goods. Complex parts are normally formed using progressive dies in a single forming press or by using a press line.Workpiece Materials and Power RequirementsSofter matierials are much easier to deform and therefore require less force to draw.

ITK stands for The Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit. The toolkit provides leading-edge segmentation and registration algorithms in two, three, and more dimensions. The software is implemented in C++ and it is wrapped for Tcl, Python and Java.Contents1 Introduction 1.1 Origins 1.2 Technical Details 1.3 Developers and Contributors 1.4 Funding 1.5 Community Participation 1.6 Copyright and License 2 Technical Summary 2.1 Architecture 2.2 Implementation Philosophy 2.3 Build Environment 3 Examples 3.1 Hello World 3.2 Region Growing Segmentation 4 Additional information 4.1 Resources 4.2 Applications 4.3 Data 4.4 Contacts 5 References // IntroductionOriginsIn 1999 the US National Library of Medicine of the National Institutes of Health awarded a three-year contract to develop an open-source registration and segmentation toolkit, which eventually came to be known as the Insight Toolkit (ITK). ITK's NLM Project Manager was Dr. Terry Yoo, who coordinated the six prime contractors who made up the Insight Software Consortium. These consortium members included the three commercial partners GE Corporate R&D, Kitware, Inc., and MathSoft (the company name is now Insightful); and the three academic partners University of North Carolina (UNC), University of Tennessee (UT), and University of Pennsylvania (UPenn). The Principle Investigators for these partners were, respectively, Bill Lorensen with Jim Miller at GE CRD, Will Schroeder at Kitware, Vikram Chalana with Lydia Ng at Insightful, Stephen Aylward with Luis Ibanez at UNC (both now at Kitware), Ross Whitaker with Josh Cates at UT (both now at Utah), and Dimitri Metaxas at UPenn. In addition, several subcontractors rounded out the consortium including Peter Raitu at Brigham & Women's Hospital, Celina Imielinska and Pat Molholt at Columbia University, Jim Gee at UPenn's Grasp Lab, and George Stetten at University of Pittsburgh. Who are the developers? The best way to determine the names of developers is to view the CVS source code repository logs. Most of the early developers are listed in the following, however, many developers beyond those listed here will participate in the development of ITK as the code grows and becomes publicly accessible.Technical DetailsITK is an open-source software toolkit for performing registration and segmentation. Segmentation is the process of identifying and classifying data found in a digitally sampled representation. Typically the sampled representation is an image acquired from such medical instrumentation as CT or MRI scanners. Registration is the task of aligning or developing correspondences between data. For example, in the medical environment, a CT scan may be aligned with a MRI scan in order to combine the information contained in both.ITK is implemented in C++. ITK is cross-platform, using the CMake build environment to manage the compilation process. In addition, an automated wrapping process generates interfaces between C++ and interpreted programming languages such as Tcl, Java, and Python (using CableSwig). This enables developers to create software using a variety of programming languages. ITK's C++ implementation style is referred to as generic programming (i.e., using templated code). Such C++ templating means that the code is highly efficient, and that many software problems are discovered at compile-time, rather than at run-time during program execution.Because ITK is an open-source project, developers from around the world can use, debug, maintain, and extend the software. ITK uses a model of software development referred to as extreme programming. Extreme programming collapses the usual software creation methodology into a simultaneous and iterative process of design-implement-test-release. The key features of extreme programming are communication and testing. Communication among the members of the ITK community is what helps manage the rapid evolution of the software. Testing is what keeps the software stable. In ITK, an extensive testing process (using CDash) is in place that measures the quality on a daily basis.

It was released in 1970 after Lennon issued three experimental albums with Yoko Ono and Live Peace In Toronto 1969, a live performance in Toronto credited to The Plastic Ono Band. The album was recorded simultaneously with Yoko Ono's debut avant garde solo album Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band at Ascot Sound Studios and Abbey Road Studios using the same musicians and production team, and featured nearly identical cover artwork. John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band is generally considered one of Lennon's finest solo albums and a landmark recording. It was ranked #22 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list by Rolling Stone in 2003, the highest ranking solo album by any of the four Beatles.Contents1 History 2 Album artwork 3 Reception 4 Trivia 5 Track listing 5.1 Side one 5.2 Side two 5.3 2000 reissue bonus tracks 6 Personnel 7 References // HistoryThe "Plastic Ono Band" in the album's title refers to the conceptual band Lennon and Ono had formed in 1969 of various supporting musicians they would use on their various solo albums.After The Beatles' break-up in April 1970, both Lennon and Ono undertook Primal therapy with the guidance of Arthur Janov for four months in Los Angeles. Forced to confront the traumas of his childhood (abandonment, isolation and death), Lennon finally let his submerged anger and hurt rise to the surface and dealt with it through his art. Similarly, Ono's concurrently-recorded album, Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band was a form of catharsis for her.Returning to England that September, Lennon and Ono called upon Phil Spector, who had produced Lennon's hit "Instant Karma!" earlier that year, to co-produce both their albums with them at Abbey Road Studios. Ringo Starr played drums, while Klaus Voormann, an old pal of The Beatles from Germany and a former member of Manfred Mann played bass. Billy Preston, who had already worked with The Beatles, supplied piano for "God." Lennon himself performed all guitar duties, playing most of the piano as well. The music itself was kept very basic and direct in arrangement.Throughout the album, Lennon touches upon many issues: the abandonment of his parents in "Mother"; the castigation of class issues in "Working Class Hero" (one of the first pop songs to feature the word "fuck"); a reminder that despite his rage and pain, Lennon still embraces "Love"; and "God", a renouncement of external saviours, including, famously, the Beatles. Here Lennon states that he believes only in himself, and his wife Yoko.In 2000, Yoko Ono supervised a remixing of John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band for its remastered CD reissue, including two bonus tracks: Lennon's 1971 hit "Power To The People" and "Do The Oz," which had appeared on the 1998 box set John Lennon Anthology. In 2003, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab reissued the album in 24 karat Gold CD audio and 180 gram 1/2 speed mastered GAIN 2 Ultra Analog in vinyl reissues.Album artworkThe album's cover is almost identical to Ono's companion piece Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Bandhe difference being that on Ono's cover, she is lying on Lennon's body. The photo was snapped with a consumer-grade Instamatic camera by actor Daniel Richter who worked as an assistant for the Lennons at the time. The initial compact disc issue of the album listed the title and artist, while the 2000 remastered version restores the original artwork. In addition, the original LP did not feature a track listing on the back. Instead, the back cover showed what appears to be a school photo of Lennon in his youth (circa 1946).ReceptionJohn Lennon/Plastic Ono Band was received with high critical praise upon release. Critic Greil Marcus remarked, "John's singing in the last verse of 'God' may be the finest in all of rock." In early 1971, the album reached #8 in the UK and went to #6 in the US, spending eighteen weeks in the top 100.In 2000 Q magazine placed John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band at number 62 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. In 1987, it was ranked #4 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 best albums of the period 1967-1987, and in 2003, it was placed at #22 in their list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.In 2006,...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about Cookware Non Stick, basket bath gift, .

They may be used for either cutting a thread or rolling a thread. They may also be used for internal or external thread cutting.In operation, there are usually four moveable chasers that cut the thread then back away from the work to permit rapid removal of the tool. The lower picture at the right shows four sets of chasers. Each set of chasers is designed to cut a different thread. One set of chasers would be used at a time, each chaser is inserted into the die head (in the correct order) and the die head is closed bringing the chasers down to their cutting position. When sufficient length of thread has been cut the die head will open allowing for rapid retraction of the head without interference with the newly formed thread.With most die heads, all that is needed to open the chasers is a reverse load. Simply withdrawing the die head is all that is needed to open it.The die head shown cuts an outside thread. There are also collapsible die heads that are used to cut an internal thread.Die Head for Thread RollingThe bottom picture shows a Die Head used for Thread Rolling.

Level luffing crane

I want to introduct something about AVL & PBL Products. We can supply all kinds of AVL tubes & PBL tubes,and we also supply AVL film & PBL fil A level luffing crane is a crane mechanism where the hook remains at the same level whilst luffing; moving the jib up and down, so as to move the hook inwards and outwards relative to the base.Some types of crane are inherently level luffing: those with a fixed horizontal jib, such as gantry, hammerhead or the fixed-jib tower cranes commonly used in construction. Usually though, the description is only applied to those with a luffing jib that have some additional mechanism applied to keep the hook level when luffing.Level luffing is most important when careful movement of a load near ground level is required, such as in construction or shipbuilding. This partially explains the popularity of fixed horizontal jibs in these fields.Contents1 Toplis cable luffing 2 Horse-head jibs 3 Powered level luffing 4 Luffing cabs 5 Meccano models 6 References // Toplis cable luffingStothert & Pitt crane with Toplis gearAn early form of level luffing gear was the "Toplis" design, invented by a Stothert & Pitt engineer in 1914. This is also a purely mechanical linkage, arranged by the reeving of the hoist cables to the jib over pulleys at the crane's apex above the cab, so that luffing the jib upwards allows more free cable and lowers the hook to compensate.Horse-head jibsHorse-head designThe usual mechanism for level luffing in modern cranes is to add an additional "horse head" section to the top of the jib. By careful design of the geometry, this keeps level merely by the linked action of the pivots.Powered level luffingAs cranes and their control systems became more sophisticated, it became possible to control the level of luffing directly, by winching the hoist cable in and out as needed. The first of these systems used mechanical clutches between luffing and hoist drums, giving simplicity and a "near level" result.Later systems have used modern electronic controls and quickly reversible motors with good slow-speed control to the hoist winch motors, so as to give a positioning accuracy of inches. Some early systems used controllable hydraulic gearboxes to achieve the same result, but these added complexity and cost and so were only popular where hgih accuracy was needed, such as for shipbuilding.Luffing cabsLuffing mechanisms have also been applied to the driver's cab being mounted on its own jib, following the movement of the crane's main jib These are used for tasks such as ship unloading, where the view from the driver's cab is greatly improved by cantilevering it forwards and over the ship.Meccano modelsCranes have long been a popular subject for Meccano models, and luffing cranes are no exception.

The feast begins with the appearance of the first star; there is no meat in the feast, and it is followed by the exchange of gifts.The following day is often spent visiting friends. In Polish tradition, people combine religion and family closeness at Christmas time. Although gift giving plays a major role in the rituals, emphasis is placed more on making special foods and decorations.Special tasks carried out during Advent are the baking of the Christmas piernik (gingerbread), and the making of Christmas decorations. Pierniki are made in a variety of shapes, including hearts, animals and St. Nicholas figures. Traditional decorations include the pajaki, which are handmade stars and decorated eggshells.Lit Christmas trees are placed in most public areas, outside churches and in homes. Traditionally the trees are decorated with shiny apples, walnuts, wrapped chocolate shapes, hand blown glass baubles, and many homemade ornaments and candles. On the top of the tree is a star or a glittering top piece. In many homes, sparklers are hung on the branches of the trees for ambiance. Sometimes the trees are left standing until February 2, the feast day of St. Mary of the Candle of Lightning.During Advent, the "Gwiazdory" or star carriers, wander through the towns and villages and this continues until Epiphany. Some of the Gwiazdory sing carols; others recite verses or put on "Szopki" (puppet shows), or "herody" (nativity scenes). The last two customs are developments from traditional manger scenes or "Jaselka" (crib). One tradition unique to Poland is the sharing of the "op?atek", a thin wafer into which is pressed a holy picture. People once carried these op?atki from house to house wishing their neighbors a Merry Christmas. Nowadays, the bread is mostly shared with members of the family and immediate neighbors. As each person shares pieces of the wafer with another person, they are supposed to forgive any hurts that have occurred over the past year and to wish the other person all the happiness in the coming year.On Christmas Eve, so important is the first star of the night that it has been given the affectionate name of "little star" or Gwiazdka, in remembrance of the Star of Bethlehem. On that night, all watch the sky anxiously, hoping to be the first to cry out, "The star!" The moment the star appears, people start eating. Families unite for the most carefully planned meal of the year, Wigilia, the Christmas supper. The Wigilia derives its name from the Latin word vigilare, which means "to watch" or keep vigil.According to tradition, bits of hay are spread beneath the tablecloth as a reminder that Christ was born in a manger. An even number of people must be seated around the table or, tradition states, someone may die in the coming year. Wigilia is a family feast. In some places an empty place setting is symbolically left at the table for the Baby Jesus or for a wanderer who may be in need, or if a deceased relative should come and would like to share in the meal. The meal begins with the breaking of the op?atek. Everyone at the table breaks off a piece and eats it as a symbol of their unity with Christ. They then share a piece with each family member giving good wishes for the following year. There should be twelve dishes, as a symbol of the Twelve Apostles, or an odd number of dishes for good luck (usually five, seven, or nine). Poppy seed cake, beet soup, prune dumplings, carp, herring and noodles with poppy seed are universal Polish Christmas foods. Traditionally, there is no meat eaten on Christmas Eve. Often there is compote of dry fruits. The remainder of the evening is given to stories and songs around the Christmas tree.

P> Le Courtisan suivant le Dernier it by Abraham Bosse depicts a French courtier casting aside his lace, ribbons and slashed sleeves in favor of sober dress in accordance with the Edict of 1633.Sumptuary laws (from Latin sumptuariae leges) are laws which attempt to regulate habits of consumption. Black's Law Dictionary defines them as "Laws made for the purpose of restraining luxury or extravagance, particularly against inordinate expenditures in the matter of apparel, food, furniture, etc.". Traditionally, they were laws which regulated and reinforced social hierarchies and morals through restrictions on clothing, food, and luxury expenditures. In most times and places they were ineffectual.Throughout history, societies have used sumptuary laws for a variety of purposes. They attempted to regulate the balance of trade by limiting the market for expensive imported goods. They were also an easy way to identify social rank and privilege, and often were used for social discrimination. This frequently meant preventing commoners from imitating the appearance of aristocrats, and sometimes also to stigmatize disfavored groups. In the Late Middle Ages sumptuary laws were instituted as a way for the nobility to cap the conspicuous consumption of the prosperous bourgeoisie of medieval cities, and they continued to be used for these purposes well into the seventeenth century.Contents1 Classical world 1.1 Ancient Greece 1.2 Ancient Rome 2 Asia 2.1 China 2.2 Japan under the Shoguns 3 The Islamic world 3.1 Religious sumptuary laws 3.2 Dress regulations for minorities 4 Medieval and Renaissance Europe 4.1 Non-Christians' clothing 4.2 Courtesans 4.3 England 4.4 Italy 4.5 France 5 Early Modern era 5.1 France 5.2 Colonial America 6 Proscription or requirement of native dress 7 Pejorative uses of the term "sumptuary law" 7.1 Alcohol prohibition 7.2 Drug prohibition 8 See also 9 Notes 10 References // Classical worldAncient GreeceThe first written Greek law code (Locrian code), by Zaleucus in the seventh century BC, stipulated that "no free woman should be allowed any more than one maid to follow her, unless she was drunk: nor was to stir out of the city by night, wear jewels of gold about her, or go in an embroidered robe, unless she was a professed and public prostitute; that, bravos excepted, no man was to wear a gold ring, nor be seen in one of those effeminate robes woven in the city of Miletus." (Quoted from Montaigne, see below.) It also banned the drinking of undiluted wine except for medical purposes.Ancient RomeThe Sumptuariae Leges of ancient Rome were various laws passed to prevent inordinate expense (sumptus) in banquets and dress, such as the use of expensive Tyrian purple dye. Individual garments were also regulated: ordinary male citizens were allowed to wear the toga virilis only upon reaching the age of political majority. In the early years of the Empire, men were forbidden to wear silk, and details of clothing including the number of stripes on the tunic were regulated according to social rank. It was considered the duty of government to put a check upon extravagance in the private expenses of persons, and such restrictions are found in laws attributed to the kings of Rome and in the Twelve Tables. The Roman censors, who were entrusted with the disciplina or cura morum, published the nota censoria. In it was listed the names of everyone found guilty of a luxurious mode of living; a great many instances of this kind are recorded. As the Roman Republic wore on, further such laws were passed; however, towards the end of the Republic they were virtually repealed. Near the end of the Empire, the Emperor Honorius (d. 423) issued a decree prohibiting men from wearing "barbarian" trousers in Rome.AsiaChinaSumptuary laws existed in China in one form or another from the Qin dynasty onwards (221BC). The Confucian virtue of restraint was embodied in the scholarly system central to China's bureaucracy and became encoded in its laws. Sumptuary laws were not updated in China after about 1550, but had long been ineffective. Kenneth Pomeranz has researched consumption levels in China over several centuries prior to and during the period of intense industrial expansion in Europe (after 1800). He suggests that consumption levels of luxuries such as tea, sugar, fine silk, tobacco and eating utensils were on a par with core regions in Europe until industrial expansion.Japan under the ShogunsAccording to Britannica Online, "In feudal Japan sumptuary laws were passed with a frequency and minuteness of scope that had no parallel in the history of the Western world".

The term is derived from the speed of the motorcycle (rocket), and the "Japanese" origin of the vehicles (a reference to cultural and historical importance of the rice crop in Japan). The term is sometimes used derogatorily, implying that American and/or European vehicles are superior to Japanese made vehicles, but, as with many slang terms, may also be used neutrally or even as a term of affection, depending on the speaker and context.Rice rocket is a derogatory term used in reference with imported Japanese cars often modified, customized, and tuned strictly for aesthetic appeal. The cars often have modifications such as cut springs to give the car a lower stance, fiberglass body kits, large spoilers, lighting modifications, custom paint and/or decal designs, rims and loud raspy mufflers. The vehicles usually have small displacement engines (usually 4-cylinders) which require additional performance modifications to get them to be adequate competitors. In most cases "rice rockets" are a mockery of true JDM cars.rice rocket is sometimes used synonymously with the term rice burner.Rice rocket is also sometimes used to describe non-stop flights between New York (JFK) and Tokyo (NRT) given their length (14hrs outbound/12hrs return). These flights were historically some of the longest range flights.See alsoson240sx.org Import Scene - vehicular subculture associated with this term Rice burner (similar term applied to automobiles.)

Limited slip differential

I want to introduct something about Laboratory Fittings & Hardware. PMR laboratory hardware includes quality faucets, gas fittings, sinks and pegboards that are specifically designed and manufactured for use in chemical laboratories. Laboratory Fittings & Hardwa Cone Type LSD (not described in article)A limited slip differential (LSD) is a modified or derived type of differential gear arrangement that allows for some difference in rotational velocity of the output shafts, but does not allow the difference in speed to increase beyond a preset amount. In an automobile, such limited slip differentials are sometimes used in place of a standard differential, where they convey certain dynamic advantages, at the expense of greater complexity.Contents1 Early history 2 Benefits 3 Types 3.1 Torque-sensitive 3.1.1 Clutch type - driveshaft torque activated 3.1.1.1 Characteristics 3.1.1.2 Mechanism 3.1.1.3 Servicing 3.1.2 Geared torque-sensitive differential 3.2 Speed-sensitive 3.2.1 Viscous 3.2.2 Gerotor pump 3.2.3 Electronic 3.3 Other related final drives 3.3.1 Spool 3.3.2 Locking differential (Detroit Locker/Lokka) 3.3.3 Selectable locker 4 Factory names 5 References 6 External links // Early historyIn 1932, Ferdinand Porsche designed a Grand Prix racing car for the Auto Union company. The high power of the design caused one of the rear wheels to experience excessive wheel spin at any speed up to 100 MPH. In 1935, Porsche commissioned the engineering firm ZF to design a limited slip differential that would perform better[citation needed].BenefitsThe main advantage of a limited slip differential is shown by considering the case of a standard (or "open") differential where one wheel has no contact with the ground at all. In such a case, the contacting wheel will remain stationary, and the non-contacting wheel will rotate freelyhe torque transmitted will be equal at both wheels, but will not exceed the threshold of torque needed to move the vehicle, and thus the vehicle will remain stationary. In everyday use on typical roads, such a situation is very unlikely, and so a normal differential suffices. For more demanding use, such as driving in mud, off-road, or for high performance vehicles, such a state of affairs is undesirable, and the LSD can be employed to deal with it. By limiting the angular velocity difference between a pair of driven wheels, useful torque can be transmitted as long as there is some traction available on at least one of the wheels.TypesTwo main types of LSD are commonly used on passenger cars; torque sensitive (geared or clutch-based) and speed sensitive (viscous/pump and clutch pack). The latter is gaining popularity especially in modern all-wheel drive vehicles, and generally requires less maintenance than the mechanical type.Torque-sensitiveThe use of the word mechanical implies that the limited slip differential is engaged by interaction between two (or more) mechanical parts. This category includes clutch and helical limited slip differentials. For road racing, many prefer a helical limited slip differential, because it does not lock the two output shafts to spin at the same rate, but rather biases torque to the wheel with more grip by up to 80%.Clutch type - driveshaft torque activatedCharacteristicsZF LSD - clutch stack visible on leftZF LSD - spider pinion shaft ramps visibleThe clutch-type LSD responds to driveshaft torque. The more driveshaft input torque present, the harder the clutches are pressed together, and thus the more closely the drive wheels are coupled to each other. With no / little input torque (trailing throttle/gearbox in neutral/main clutch depressed) the drive wheels are still coupled somewhat as the clutches are always in contact to some degree, producing friction. The amount of preload (hence static coupling) on the clutches is determined by the general condition (wear) of the clutches and by how tightly they are shimmed.Broadly speaking, there are three input torque states: load, no load, and over run. Under load, as previously stated, the coupling is proportional to the input torque. With no load, the coupling is reduced to the static coupling. The behaviour on over run (particularly sudden throttle release) determines whether the LSD is 1 way, 1.5 way, or 2 way.If there is no additional coupling on over run, the LSD is 1 way. This is a safer LSD, as soon as the driver lifts the throttle, the LSD unlocks and behaves somewhat like a conventional open differential. This is also the best for FWD cars, as it allows the car to turn in on throttle release, instead of ploughing forward.If the LSD increases coupling in the same way regardless of whether the input torque is forwards or reverse, it is a 2 way differential. Some drifters prefer this type as the LSD behaves the same regardless of their erratic throttle input, and lets them keep the wheels spinning all the way through a corner. An inexperienced driver can easily...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about pipe valve fittings, exhaust flex pipe, .

It has high percentage of silica and alumina. It can be produced by firing selected fire clays to high temperature before grinding and screening to specific particle sizes. It can also be produced from pitchers. The particle size distribution is generally coarser in size than the other raw materials used to prepare clay bodies. It tends to be porous and have low density. It is available as a powder, mortar, or in the form of fire bricks.Contents1 Properties 2 Applications 3 References 3.1 Notes 3.2 Bibliography // PropertiesGrog is composed of: 40% minimum alumina (Al2O3), 30% minimum silica (SiO2), 4% maximum Iron(III) oxide (Fe2)3), and 2% maximum of calcium oxide (CaO) and magnesium oxide (MgO) combined.Its melting point is approximately 1,780 (3,240). Its water absorption is 7% maximum. Its thermal expansion coefficient is 5.2mm/m and thermal conductivity is 69.5W/(m). It is also not easily wetted by steel.ApplicationsGrog is used in pottery and sculpture to add a gritty, rustic texture called "tooth"; it also reduces shrinkage and aids even drying. This prevents defects such as cracking, crow feet patterning, and lamination. The coarse particles open the green clay body to allow gases to escape. It also adds structural strength to hand-built and thrown pottery during shaping although it can diminish fired strength.Other uses for grog is processing ZnO Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV). It is put at the base of the "blocks" on the topside of the bottom of a refractory sagger to keep the blocks from sticking to the sagger. This is because ZnO MOV has a polymer binder that upon drying acts as a glue. The grog at the base prevents gluing and acts as a vent for carbon gases while drying and sintering. The grog is a gritty form of ZnO to prevent contamination.ReferencesNotes^ a b Jain 2003, p.82. BibliographyJain, P. L.

[Add to My Inquiry Car Defrutum, carenum, and sapa were reductions of must used in Roman cuisine. They were made by boiling down grape juice or must (freshly squeezed grapes) in large kettles until it had been reduced to two-thirds the original volume, carenum; half the original volume, defrutum; and one-third, sapa.The main culinary use of defrutum was to sweeten wine, but it was also added to fruit and meat dishes as a sweetening and souring agent and even given to food animals such as suckling pig and duck to improve the taste of their flesh. Defrutum was mixed with garum to make the popular condiment oenogarum and as such was one of Rome's most popular condiments. Quince and melon were preserved in defrutum and honey through the winter, and some Roman women used defrutum or sapa as a cosmetic. Defrutum was often used as a food preservative in provisions for Roman troops.Defrutum is mentioned in almost all Roman books dealing with cooking or household management. Pliny the Elder recommended that defrutum only be boiled at the time of the new moon, while Cato the Censor suggested that only the sweetest possible must should be used. Both writers advised against the use of bronze or copper kettles, as the metals would react with the acids in the defrutum and give the finished product an unpleasant metallic taste. The preferred vessels for boiling and storing defrutum were made of (or lined with) lead. Geochemist Jerome Nriagu published an article in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1983 hypothesizing that defrutum and sapa may have contained enough lead acetate to be of danger to those who consumed it regularly. Because lead poisoning can cause infertility and high infant mortality, some scholars hold that the digestion of defrutum, along with the eating food and drink with bronze utensils containing lead (which were mended with pure lead) was a contributing factor in the decline of Rome.Modern cooks who wish to make defrutum should use a large glass or stainless steel Dutch oven or stock pot. Boil four litres (or quarts) of dark grape juice in an open pan slowly until 750 ml or three US cups of defrutum remains. The vapors can be sticky, so it is advised to either boil the juice under a fan or to prepare the defrutum outside. For additional flavor add one cup of hand-crushed dark grapes at the beginning of the cooking process.See alsoPekmez References^ a b Director: Chris Warren.

Burmantofts Pottery

I want to introduct something about . Burmantofts faience in the Great Hall of the University of LeedsBurmantofts Pottery was the common trading name of a manufacturer of ceramic pipes and construction materials, named after the Burmantofts district of Leeds, England.The business began in 1859 when fire clay was discovered in a coal mine owned by William Wilcox and John Lassey. In 1863 Lassey's share was bought by John Holroyd and the company then named Wilcox & Co.In 1879, after a period of expansion, the firm made decorative bricks and tiles in orange or buff-coloured architectural terracotta, glazed bricks, and glazed terracotta (faience) .

It is through representation people know and understand the world and reality through the act of naming it. Signs are manipulated in order to make sense of the world.bust of Aristotle, Greek philosopherFor many philosophers, both ancient and modern, man is regarded as the "representational animal" or homo symbolicum, the creature whose distinct character is the creation and the manipulation of signs things that "stand for" or "take the place of" something else.Representation has been associated with aesthetics (art) and semiotics (signs). Mitchell says "representation is an extremely elastic notion, which extends all the way from a stone representing a man to a novel representing the day in the life of several Dubliners"The term representation carries a range of meanings and interpretations. In literary theory representation is commonly defined in three ways.To look like or resemble To stand in for something or someone To present a second time to re-present Representation began with early literary theory in the ideas of Plato and Aristotle, and has evolved into a significant component of language, Saussurian and communication studies.Contents1 Defining representation 2 History 3 Contemporary ideas about representation 4 Peirce and representation 5 Semiotics and logic 5.1 Speculative grammar 5.2 Logical critic 5.3 Speculative rhetoric 5.4 Using signs and objects 6 Saussure and representation 7 Notes 8 References 9 See also 10 External links // Defining representationReproduction of the Mona LisaThe most common and na?ve perception about literature is that it is a "representation of life". Representation has always played a central role in understanding literature.The first definition is closely related to the medium, suggesting that representation functions through reproductions, or by possessing the likeness of an object. Representations, according to this definition, can be reproduced an incalculable number of times. Paintings for example, have been reproduced in this way. The majority of Western society will have, at some point in their lives, come across an image of Da Vinci famous painting, the Mona Lisa. However, very few of those people will have witnessed the painting in physical reality. It is as a result of their reproductive ability that representations, such as reproductions of the Mona Lisa, become accessible to the masses and work to stand between "the real" and the audience or spectator. Television soap operas such as Home and Away are another classic example in which the characters and their lives are intended to resemble real life; time reflects that of reality, the plots are located in the familiar and realistic settings of the home, school, work place, diner, gym and beach, with much of the focus revolving around issues evident within society today including divorce, love, happiness, relationships, marriage, children and the work-place.The second definition refers to representation as using one thing to stand for another. It has been adopted by new historicists who use the meaning in regard to the symbolic construction of a particular society at a particular period in time. For instance, the reproductions or copies of the Mona Lisa stand in for or represent the original. It is important to recognise, that the ability of representation to do this may often be problematic, raising issues of authenticity and value.This definition can also take on a political stance. The focus can shift towards political representation in which one person or group "stands in for" someone or something, in this case, the larger societal group. Such a form of representation is pivotal in the functioning of democratic societies. Thus, "representative government" is central in political theory and ideas about legislative authority, control and the interaction between individual citizens and the state.In the context of this definition, both semiotic and political representations rely on someone or something to stand in for or act on behalf of someone or something. The third definition implies that "representation" is the ability of texts to draw upon features of the world and present them to the viewer, not simply as reflections, but more so, as constructions. Hence, the images do not portray reality in an unbiased way with 100% accuracy, but rather, present "versions of reality" influenced by culture and peoples habitual thoughts and actions. As a result, representations are influenced by culture and in much the same way, have the capacity to shape culture and mould society attitudes, values, perceptions and behaviours.Representation is in literary theory is also sometimes...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about inflatable air cushion, Coil PVC Mat, .

Tinsukia district

I want to introduct something about . (Redirected from Tinsukia District)Tinsukia is one of the twenty three administrative districts in the state of Assam, India. The district headquarters are located at Tinsukia. The district occupies an area of 3790 km2 and has a population of 1,150,146 (as of 2001).Contents1 History 2 Economy 3 Transportation 4 Tourism 5 External links // HistoryThe ancient name of Tinsukia was Bangmara. It was the capital of the Muttack Kingdom. Sarbananada Singha established his capital at Rangagarah situated in the bank of river Guijan. In 1791 AD, he transferred his capital to the city of Bangmara. Bangmara was built by King Sarbananda Singha with the help of his Minister, Gopinath Barbaruah (alias Godha). The city was built in the middle of the present city of Tinsukia. It was declared as the 23rd district of Assam on 1 October 1989 with three sub divisions - Tinsukia, Magherita (Sadar), and Sadiya.Several tanks were dug in the days of Sarbananda Singha viz. Chauldhuwa Pukhuri, Kadamoni pukhuri, Da Dharua Pukhuri, Mahdhuwa Pukhuri, Bator Pukhuri, Logoni Pukhuri, Na-Pukhuri, Devi Pukhuri, Kumbhi Pukhuri, Rupahi Pukhuri etc.Apart from the these ponds there are many ancient roads constructed in different parts of the Muttack territory. Godha-Borbaruah road, Rangagarah road, Rajgor road and Hatiali road were main roads within the territory.In 1823, the British first discovered tea plants in Sadiya and the first tea plantation was started in Chabua near Tinsukia. (The name Chabua comes from "Chah-Buwa" (tea plantation).)In 1876, coal was found near Ledo and Margherita. The oil city of Digboi is in the Tinsukia district. In 1882 crude oil was found in Digboi and the first oil well in India was drilled. In 1901, an oil refinery was setup in Digboi. It was the first refinery in Asia and the third in world.In 1882, the Dibru-Sadiya Railway was opened to traffic by the Assam Railway & Trading Company, centred on Tinsukia, and a turning point in the economic development of north-east India.EconomyTinsukia is one of the premier commercial centres in Assam. It is an industrial district, yet it produces a sizeable amount of yea, oranges, ginger, other citrus fruits and paddy (rice).TransportationTinsukia is well connected by air, national highway and railway. It is only 532km by road from Dispur, the State Capital of Assam. The nearest airport is at Mohanbari, Dibrugarh which is about 40km from Tinsukia with daily connection from Delhi/Guwahati and Calcutta.TourismDibru Saikhowa National Park is famous for birds ([see video in youtube) and is one of the bio-diversity-hot-spots with over 350 species of avifauna providing unique habitat for globally threatened species. A safe for extremely rare white winged wood duck and many migratory birds. Its Wild-Horses, called Feral Horses, are precisely sufficient to make the visitor wild.Digboi boasts of two modern wonders of the world a hundred-year-old oil field still producing and the world oldest operating oil refinery. Tucked amid blue hills and undulating plains carpeted with emerald green tea plantations, Digboi still retains its colonial ambience. It simply breathtaking to have a bird eye view of Digboi from the famous Ridge Hill point. On clear days, one can also see the snow- covered mountains of the eastern Himalayas.National Oil Park: Digboi also has an oil museum and a wildlife sanctuary of unsurpassed beauty. Going down the hill, visitors will come across oil derricks of various types and other devices still declaring the glory and marvel of the now outdated innovations of the last forties. If one comes down from the hill on the other side, one will have the greatest sight of his lifetime. One may also bump across a herd of elephants or a Royal Bengal Tiger, besides some rare species of birds.War Cemetery: the most dramatic event in Digboi history took place during the World War II, when the belligerent Japanese came close to within three days marching distance of Digboi. These images come back as one kneels at the headstones at the Digboi War Cemetery.Margherita: the centre of tea gardens, plywood factories and coal mines, with many picnic spots dotting the sandy banks of the River Dihing. Cool, misty and away from the mainland, breathing in the aroma of fresh tea leaves is an experience, both rare and heartwarming. The tea gardens here are perhaps the best in the world.Sports: the 18-hole golf course developed by the Scottish pioneers in their immutable style. In fact, Digboi can almost be called a Golfing Resort with as many as eight golf courses within close proximity, each with its own individual character and challenges.External linksDistrict Administration website v?d?eState of AssamAssam Topics History Politics People Culture...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about best motorcycle helmet, bevelled mirror, .

The Millennium Tower complex in which the tower rises from (on the south end) is located on Mission Street and is bounded by the Fremont and Beale Streets and the north end of the Transbay Terminal. The entire complex is currently projected for completion sometime in 2008.Contents1 Description 2 History 3 Construction 3.1 Millennium Tower 3.2 301 Mission Street 4 Gallery 5 Notes 6 See also 7 References 8 External links // DescriptionThe USD $350 million project is developed by Millennium Partners of New York City and designed by Handel Architects and engineered by DeSimone Consulting Engineers. At 645 ft. (197 m), it will be the fourth tallest building in San Francisco when completed, and the tallest since 345 California Street in 1986. The tower is slender, with each floor containing 14,000square feet (1,300m2) of floor space. In addition to the 60-story tower, there is a 125-foot (38 m) 12-story tower on the northeast end of the complex. Between the two towers is a two-story glass atrium approximately 43 ft (13 m) tall. In total, the project will have 440 units, consisting of 320 residences and 120 extended-stay hotel units. The residences are said to be the priciest on the West Coast, with penthouse units on floors 59 and 60 selling for around USD$ 12 million. The bottom 25 floors of the main tower will be called Residences while the floors from 26 to 60 will have the name Grand Residences. The 53 units in the 12-story tower will be called the City Residences. Below street level, there will be 355 parking spaces in a four-story underground garage located under the midrise building. Overall, the tower's design is intended to resemble a translucent crystal, and is a landmark for the Transbay Redevelopment and the southern skyline of San Francisco.HistoryThe current building replaced an earlier design which included two towers called 301 Mission Street I & 301 Mission Street II linked together by a six story podium. The earlier design was never built and the current plan replaced it sometime around 2003. Soon afterward, the project was approved 4-1 and construction began in 2005. The only against vote came from Sue Lee.ConstructionThis is the tallest building under construction in San Francisco.Millennium TowerAs with almost any high rise construction project, Webcor used a tower crane on the worksite. The massive concrete foundation mat for the 60-story tower has been completed on the one-acre site. As of June, 2008, the first 60 floors are built, the concrete core rises to 61 stories (roof level), curtainwall glass is installed from floor 3 to 60, and ventilation panels are located on the second floor. The building topped out on February 8 and Webcor held a topping-off ceremony. The building is currently the fourth tallest building in San Francisco. The yellow tower crane on the top of the building was replaced by a smaller red crane. The red crane was replaced by an even smaller derrick crane over the 4th of July weekend. Work is underway on the steel crown of the building and the first phase of the crown structure is complete.301 Mission StreetExcavation work is complete and well as the entire underground parking garage. Currently, the concrete structure reaches up to the 13th level or the roof. Glass covers all 12 floors of the midrise building. The crane used to construct the midrise has been removed.

This configuration was very commonly used in aircraft engines before being superseded by turboshaft and turbojet engines.In a radial engine the pistons are connected to the crankshaft with a master-and-articulating-rod assembly. One piston has a master rod with a direct attachment to the crankshaft. The remaining pistons pin their connecting rods attachments to rings around the edge of the master rod (see animation). Four-stroke radials almost always have an odd number of cylinders, so that a consistent every-other-piston firing order can be maintained, providing smooth running.The valve of the classic radials are overhead and move by a central cams plate ,pushrods and rocker arms, (like modern Harley motorcycle engines), but exists valveless (sleeve valve) radial engines built by Bristol before and during WW2 (from "Perseus" to "Centaurus" engines),later built under license by SNECMA after 1950, the "Hercules" engine for the Nord 2501 "Noratlas" (flew in the french air force up to 1989) .The Bristol radial sleeve valve engines are very reliable and prove high efficiency (low fuel consumption), but the oil consumption is high.Contents1 History 2 Radial versus inline debate 3 Multi-row radials 4 Modern radials 5 Diesel radials 6 See also 7 References 8 External links // HistoryA Continental radial engine, 1944Pratt & Whitney R-1340 radial engine mounted in Sikorsky H-19 helicopterCharles Manly constructed a water-cooled 5-cylinder radial engine in 1901, a conversion of one of Stephen Balzer's rotary engines, for Langley's Aerodrome aircraft. Manly's engine produced 52hp (39kW) at 950 rpm.In 1903-04 Jacob Ellehammer used his experience constructing motorcycles to build the world's first air-cooled radial engine, a 3-cylinder engine which he used as the basis for a more powerful 5-cylinder model in 1907, which he installed in his triplane that made a number of short free flight hops. During 1908-9, Ellehammer developed another engine, which had 6 cylinders arranged in two rows of three. His engines had a very good power-to-weight ratio, but his aircraft designs suffered from his lack of understanding of control. If he had concentrated on his engines, he might have become a successful manufacturer.Another early radial engine was the 3-cylinder Anzani, one of which powered Louis Bliot's Bliot XI in his 1910 crossing of the English Channel. By 1914 Anzani had developed their range, with their largest radial being a 20-cylinder engine of 200hp (150kW), with its cylinders arranged in four groups of five.The radial engine was not developed in Germany; two radial engines were made in Germany before World War I, but the Germans seemed to lose faith in the type under war conditions, or it may have been that insistence on standardisation ruled out any but proven engine types.During WW1, most of the French aircraft flew with Gnome Rhone rotary radial engines. The ultimate rotary produced 240hp.Radial versus inline debate1935 Monaco-Trossi, a rare example of automobile use.There was a debate about the merits of radial versus inline engines after World War I which continued throughout the 1930s, with both types seeing use. The radial was more popular largely due to its simplicity, and most navy air arms had dedicated themselves to it because of its improved reliability for over-water flights and better power/weight ratio for aircraft carrier takeoffs. Although inline engines offer smaller frontal area than radials, inline engines require the added weight and complexity of cooling systems and are generally more vulnerable to battle damage; damage to an inline engine could result in a loss of coolant and consequent engine seizure, while an air-cooled radial could take damage but continue to operate. A significant advantage of the air-cooled radial is that all cylinders receive equal cooling airflow.Another advantage is that by being flat, radial engines resulted in shorter aircraft with a smaller moment of inertia that were able to turn more tightly. This was especially important in fighter aircraft.Most radial-engined aircraft designed since the 1930s were also fitted with NACA cowlings to reduce drag and to also enhance forward thrust by virtue of its airfoil effect.The Wright company's J-5 Whirlwind radial engine of 1925 was billed as "the first truly reliable aircraft engine". Wright employed Giuseppe Mario Bellanca to design an aircraft to showcase it, and the result was the Wright-Bellanca 1, or WB-1, which was first flown in the latter part of that...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about used truck engine, Water Pressure Reducer, .

Cocoa beans in a cacao pod showing the outer rind, the seeds, and inner pulp.C?te d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) leads the world in production and export of the cocoa beans used in the manufacture of chocolate, supplying 46% of cocoa produced in the world. West Africa, collectively supplies nearly 70% of the world's cocoa crop, with C?te d'Ivoire leading production at 1.3 million tonnes, followed by neighboring Ghana with 720 thousand tonnes. C?te d'Ivoire overtook Ghana as the world's leading producer of cocoa beans in 1978. Large chocolate producers such as Cadbury, Hershey's, and Nestle buy Ivorian cocoa futures and options through Euronext whereby world prices are set.Contents1 The plant 2 Farming and production 3 Slave labour 4 Pests 5 References // The plantCocoa pods in varying levels of ripeness growing on the trunk of a tree (cauliflory).Cocoa is a shade-loving tree native to the understory of rainforests, growing at low elevation in the foothills of the Andes, and the great South American equatorial river basins the Amazon River Basin, and the Orinoco River Basin. The tree is a choice crop for areas of West Africa with low to slight elevations, good soils, and the constant humidity of the tropics.Farming and productionTop Cocoa Producersin 2004(million metric tons)C?te d'Ivoire1.33Ghana0.74Indonesia0.43Nigeria0.37Brazil0.17Cambodia0.13Ecuador0.09World Total3.6Source:UN Food & Agriculture Organisation(FAO)Cocoa bean output in 2005The crop is grown in C?te d'Ivoire mostly by smallholder farmers planting on 1-3 hectares. The pods containing the beans are harvested when a sufficient number are ripe, opened to separate the seeds and pulp from the outer rind, and the seeds and pulp are usually allowed to ferment somewhere on the farm, before the seeds are dried in a central location. The dried seeds are purchased by a traitant or buyer who travels among villages in an area to weigh, purchase and collect the crop. The traitant then takes the crop to a short-holding warehouse in a major town or city where the major exporters purchase the seeds and arrange for its export from C?te d'Ivoire. The entire process requires the labored contribution of a variety of workers, from the farmer who owns the fields, to his laborers who may be slaves and often include family members, to others in the village who harvest pods to ferment seeds at the same time, to the local buyers, and the middlemen between these purchasers and the exporters who finally get the crop to an export ship.Slave labourC?te d'Ivoire and other West African cocoa producing nations have come under severe criticism in the west for using child slave labor to produce the cocoa purchased by Western chocolate companies. The bulk of the criticism has been directed towards directed towards practices in C?te d'Ivoire. The report "A Taste of Slavery: How Your Chocolate May be Tainted" claims that traffickers promise paid work, housing, and education to children who are then forced to labour and undergo severe abuse, that some children are held forcibly on farms and work up to 100 hours per week, and that attempted escapees are beaten. A BBC article claimed that 15,000 children from Mali, some under age 11, were working as slaves in cocoa production in Cote d'Ivoire, and Mali's Save the Children Fund director described "young children carrying 6kg of cocoa sacks so heavy that they have wounds all over their shoulders."
