Arrest & Trial $40.94 Rated: NRSynopsis: Before Law & Order, there was Arrest and Trial, NBC's ground-breaking 1960's series starring Ben Gazzara and Chuck Connors. Truly ahead of its time, Arrest and Trial was a 90-minute show combining elements of police procedural and courtroom drama. In the first half of each episode, Sgt. Nick Anderson , Ben Gazzara, of the LAPD tracked down and arrested a criminal. In the second half, Defense Attorney John Egan, Chuck Connors, worked to set the criminal free. The 90-minute format was unique on television for a dramatic series, and perhaps contributed to the show's limited airing, but it also made for great television, foreshadowing shows to come, like the popular Law and Order series. This 10 DVD set containing all 30 episodes is faithfully reproduced from the original NBC masters. |

Chapters: Narmada Dam, Ks Oils, Bunder Project, Gun Carriage Factory Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh Agriculture Corporation Limited, Indore Brts, Gwalior Trade Fair, Madhya Pradesh Stock Exchange. Excerpt: Maximum water level: 146.5 m (481 ft) The Narmada Dam Project is a large hydraulic engineering project involving the construction of a series of large irrigation and hydroelectric multi purpose dams on the Narmada River in India. The project was first conceived of in the 1940s by the country's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. The project only took form in 1979 as part of a development scheme to increase irrigation and produce hydroelectricity. Of the thirty large dams planned on river Narmada, Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP) is the largest structure to be built. It has a proposed final height of 136.5 m (448 ft). The project will irrigate more than 18,000 km (6,900 sq mi), most of it in drought prone areas of Kutch and Saurashtra. Critics maintain that its negative environmental impacts outweigh its benefits. It has created discord between its government planners and the citizens group Narmada Bachao Andolan. The Experts' Committee of the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) made a clear finding of the egregious failure of the government machinery on virtually all aspects of the planning and implementation of environmental safeguards of the project and recommended that no further reservoir filling be done until failures of compliance on the various environmental parameters have been fully remedied The expected benefits of the dam as listed in the Judgement of Supreme Court of India in 2000 were: "The argument in favour of the Sardar Sarovar Project is that the benefits are so large that they substantially outweigh the costs of the immediate huma...

IV. On Refraction and Twilight. 46. AS connected with the earth, we may here consider its atmosphere, and how it affects the apparent places of the heavenly bodies. We know, from the science of pneumatics, that the air surrounding the earth is an elastic fluid, the density of which is nearly proportional to the compressing force, or the weight of the incumbent air. Whence it follows that the density continually decreases, and at a few miles high becomes very small. Now a ray of light passing out of a rarer medium into a denser, is always bent out of its course toward the perpendicular to the surface, on which the ray is incident. It follows therefore that a ray of light must be continually bent in its course through the atmosphere, and describe a curve, the tangent to which curve, at the surface of the earth, is the direction in which the celestial object appears. Consequently the apparent altitude if always greater than the true. 47. The refraction or deviation is greater, the greater the angle of incidence, and therefore greatest when the object is in the horizon, The horizontal refraction is about 32'. At 45 altitude, in its mean quantity it is 57i". 48. The refraction is affected by the variation of the quantity or weight of the superincumbent atmosphere at a given place, and also by its temperature. In computing the quantity of refraction, the height of the barometer and thermometer must be noted. The quantity of refraction at the same zenith distance varies nearly as the height of the barometer, the temperature remaining constant. The effect of a variation of temperature is to diminish the quantity of refraction about T'5 part for every increase of one degree in the height of the thermometer.

Mv Agusta Motorcycles: Mv Agusta F4 Series, Mv Agusta 500 Three, Mv Agusta Brutale Series, Mv Agusta 125 Sohc, Mv Agusta 350b Sport $8.31 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Not illustrated. Excerpt: The MV Agusta F4 was the motorcycle that launched the resurrection of MV Agusta in 1998. The F4 was created by famous motorcycle designer Massimo Tamburini at CRC (Cagiva Research Center), following his work on the Ducati 916. The F4 is unique with its four pipe undertail exhaust, single-sided swingarm, large front forks (49 or 50 mm diameter) and traditional MV Agusta red and silver livery. The F4 is also one of the few production superbikes to have a radial valved engine. The F4 engine is a liquid cooled inline four cylinder (4-stroke) with two overhead camshafts (DOHC), 16 radial valves, electronic multipoint injection, induction discharge electronic ignition and following capacity variants: 749.5 cc, 998 cc and 1078 cc. The engine was derived from the 19901992 Ferrari Formula One engine. Early in the design process Ferrari engineers assisted in the development of the engine. MV (Cagiva at the time) quickly deviated from the Ferrari design, but they kept one important feature, the radial valves. The F4 engine is unique in the sense that it is the only radial valved motorcycle engine currently in production. The F4 Tamburini, F4 Veltro, and F4 CC models are equipped with variable length intake ducts known as the "TSS" system. The "TSS" system is designed to increase torque in the low to midrange, while still allowing for max. horsepower at the top of the rev range (usually two mutually exclusive properties of an engine). The "TSS" system has two positions, it is not able to vary the height of the intake ducts continuously. "TSS" is able to lower peak torque from the 10000 rpm to 9000 rpm while maintaining maximum power. This system debuted on the F4 Tamburini and was lauded by independent motorcycling publications such as ... More: |

Excerpt: The Oldsmobile Rocket V8 was the first post-war OHV V8 at General Motors. Production started in 1949, with a new generation introduced in 1964. Like Pontiac, Olds continued building its own V8 engine family for decades, finally adopting the corporate Chevrolet 350 small-block and Cadillac Northstar engine only in the 1990s. All Oldsmobile V-8's were manufactured at plants in Lansing, Michigan. All Oldsmobile V8s use a 90° bank angle, and most share a common stroke dimension: 3.4375 in (87.31 mm) for early Rockets, 3.6875 in (93.66 mm) for later Generation 1 motors, and 3.385 in (86.0 mm) for Generation 2. The 260 cu in (4.3 l), 307 cu in (5.0 l), 330 cu in (5.4 l), 350 cu in (5.7 l) and 403 cu in (6.6 l) engines are commonly called small-blocks. 400 cu in (6.6 l), 425 cu in (7.0 l), and 455 cu in (7.5 l) V8s have a higher deck height (10.625 in (27.0 cm) versus 9.33 in (23.7 cm)) to accommodate a 4.25 in (108 mm) stroke crank to increase displacement. These taller-deck models are commonly called "big-blocks", and are 1 in (2.5 cm) longer and 1.5 in (3.8 cm) wider than their "small-block" counterparts. The Rocket V8 was the subject of many first and lasts in the automotive industry. It was the first mass-produced OHV V8 in 1949; and was the last carbureted V8 passenger car engine in 1990. The factory painted "small-blocks" gold or blue (flat black on the late model 307 cu in (5.0 l)), while "big-blocks" could be red, green, blue, or bronze. The first generation of Oldsmobile V8s ranges from 1949 until 1964. Each engine in this generation is quite similar with the same size block and heads. Rocket V8 303 engineThe 303-cubic-inch (5.0 L) engine had hydraulic lifters, an oversquare bore:stroke ratio, a counterweighted forged crankshaft, aluminum... More: |

Points In Minor Tactics: Compiled And Arranged In An Elementary Manner (1898) $22.96 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:CHAPTER II. GROUND IN RELATION TO TACTICS. Ground influences tactical operations by the manner in which it affects view and movement, and gives full effect and protection to each arm. View.—Cover from view is obtainable from very gentle undulations to a far greater extent than those unpracticed in testing it would suspect, for men are apt to considerably underrate the height of physical features in comparison with their own height. Such cover is always of great importance in getting troops into position before serious fighting begins, in secretly transferring them from one point to another during action, and in facilitating surprises. But cover from view that does not also protect from fire, such as hedges, etc., must be utilized with some caution, for men are apt to crowd behind it when no other cover is available, and if the enemy's fire be then attracted, loss ensues in proportion to the denseness of the occupants. Yet the feeling of Sec Clery's Minor Tactics, p. 117 et seq. concealment tends to increase men's confidence, and the prospect of cover even from view encourages them to advance, so that it is on this account of value. Movement.—Ground affects movement by extending or limiting the breadth of front on which troops can advance, and by the retarding influence that the character of the surface can exercise. Time is an all-important element in tactical combinations, and what is productive of delay may at any moment exert a dangerously disturbing influence. Eeliable calculations may be based on the extent of roadway available, but the state of the surface may be so subject to alterations from weather, extensive traffic, etc., as to invalidate any calculations that ignored them. In heavy clay soil even the best-laid roads become almost impassable in b |

Chapters: Skateboard, Longboard, Half-Pipe, Mega Ramp, Snakeboard, Funbox, Skate Shoes, Mini Ramp, Grip Tape, Freeboard, Kicktail, Vert Ramp, Quarter Pipe, Vert Skateboarding, Superpipe, Grind Rail, Trick Box, Skyhook, Skateplank. Excerpt: A freeboard is kind of specialist skateboard designed to closely simulate the behavior of a snowboard . Invented by Steen Strand of Freebord Manufacturing in San Francisco, CA.It has 6 wheels, two spring locked center wheels, and four slightly raised conventional wheels. The central axis wheels are able to turn freely in all directions, which allows the freeboard to slide laterally as long as no other wheel touches the ground. By exerting some pressure on the edge wheels, the freeboarder is able to control the board. The central wheels thus mimic the deck of the snowboard, while the outer wheels mimic the two steel edges.Most decks are constructed with a seven to nine-ply cross-laminated layup of Canadian maple . Cross materials used in deck construction, such as bamboo lighten the board or increase its strength or rigidity. Modern decks vary in size, but most are 7.5 to 8 inches wide and usually between 29 and 33 inches long. Shapes have twin tip design but no kicktails like skateboards do: a recent asymmetric shape enhances the rider's stance on shortest decks.Bindings are used to provide more control over the board and allow the rider to exert more pressure on its edges. As on a snowboard, the rider is able to perform both carve and slide turns.Websites (URLs online) Notes A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at A funbox is a standard element of a skatepark . Its main characteristic is the table component in the middle which varies by height and surface area and is usually surrounded by ramps and transitions. There are many possible |

The Rudiments Of Hydraulic Engineering $24.86 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:surface of the escaping fluid would be developed at an earlier period than if the sides were vertical, and no extraneous motion had been given. If, moreover, the orifice were lateral, the complete funnel-shaped depression would not be formed, but the surface of the liquid would be depressed; as in the accompanying figures, 1, 2, 3, and 4. These movements depend upon the form of the vases, the height of the fluid in them, and the position and dimension of the orifices. Hitherto mathematicians have not succeeded in explaining satisfactorily the general laws under which they take place. 23. In escaping from an opening in a vase, the fluid- vein assumes the form of a prism, whose base would be the orifice itself, but whose sides recede gradually until they attain a distance from the orifice equal to about half its diameter; at this point, the diameter of the fluid-vein would only be 0-6 or 0-7 of that of the orifice. This diminution in the sectional area of the fluid-vein is known by the name of its contraction; and it takes place in whatever direction the fluid may escape, but under slightly different conditions, dependant upon the action of terrestrial gravitation. Thus, when the fluid-vein escapes vertically downwards, the prism contracts to a greater distance than usual, because the velocity of the fall of each horizontal layer increases in proportion to the space fallen through, and therefore the distance between any two such layersmust also increase. Again, when the jet escapes upwards, the prism enlarges immediately after the extreme point of contraction has been passed, because the velocity diminishes. In all cases, however, the resistance of the air divides the jet into drops of greater or less volume, when it has reached a certain distance from the orifice. In vacuo, |

Hitherto mathematicians have not succeeded in explaining satisfactorily the general laws under which they take place. 23. In escaping from an opening in a vase, the fluid- vein assumes the form of a prism, whose base would be the orifice itself, but whose sides recede gradually until they attain a distance from the orifice equal to about half its diameter; at this point, the diameter of the fluid-vein would only be 0-6 or 0-7 of that of the orifice. This diminution in the sectional area of the fluid-vein is known by the name of its contraction; and it takes place in whatever direction the fluid may escape, but under slightly different conditions, dependant upon the action of terrestrial gravitation. Thus, when the fluid-vein escapes vertically downwards, the prism contracts to a greater distance than usual, because the velocity of the fall of each horizontal layer increases in proportion to the space fallen through, and therefore the distance between any two such layersmust also increase. Again, when the jet escapes upwards, the prism enlarges immediately after the extreme point of contraction has been passed, because the velocity diminishes. In all cases, however, the resistance of the air divides the jet into drops of greater or less volume, when it has reached a certain distance from the orifice. In vacuo, |

" 1 am acquainted with only one other scene in the world which can pretend to rival, in natural magnificence, the Glacier de Miage; 1 mean Niagara." Basil Ham.. Courmayeur would be worth a visit, if it were only for the purpose of examining in detail the Glaciers of I,AC DE COMBAL. 19 the Allee Blanche. Bnt this excursion is rarely made. Travellers are usually content with what they see of them in descending from the Col de la Seigne, and there are but few guides who have ever traversed either of these glaciers. A short day is sufficient for visiting the Glacier of La Brenva, but it is a laborious day's work fully to examine the Glacier de Miage. I shall begin with the latter. I had twice before passed the Lac de Combal, and the moraine of the glacier which I have described as pushed out into the valley which it occupies for several miles in length, nearly a mile in breadth, and several hundred feet in depth. I had no small curiosity to see the chasm in the mountains whence this mass of debris had been derived, and to examine the glacier which had been and still continues to be so powerful an agent of degradation and transport. Accordingly, on the loth July 1842, I left Courmayeur at half past five A. M., on foot, and reached the lower |
