at reach society we believe that black boys and young black men are born with unlimited potential . and that they , like all young people , need to be encouraged , motivated and inspired to discover their potential by taking the actions early that will lead to the formation of habits that are essential for the development of robust characters .
the total potential of tidal stream technologies will likely change as the technology matures and more countries begin carefully mapping their tidal resources , a task the leading countries only began recently . nevertheless , atlantis resources , a british tidal power company , estimates 90 , 000 mw of generating capacity could be built , for a total of 150 twh of power a year .
analogously , social life was marketized too , thrown open to the idea that the capacity for self - realization could be obtained only through individual activity , not through society . institutions like the nhs were reformed as a series of internal markets . these markets were to be governed by what has been called “the new public management . ” this involved a focus upon accountability , with explicit standards and measures of performance . the ethical change involved a transition from the idea of public service to one of private management of the self . parallel to this “culture of accountability” was the emergence of an “audit society , ” in which formal and professionally sanctioned monitoring systems replaced the trust that earlier versions of relationship between state and society had invested in professional specialists of all sorts ( the professions themselves , such as university teaching , were opened up to this sort of audit , which was all the more onerous because , if directed from above , it was carried out by the professionals themselves , so preserving the fiction of professional freedom ) .
, student protest , and the anti - vietnam war and civil rights movements in the united states were all part of the assault on the still - strong vestiges of victorianism in british society , as well as , more immediately , a reaction against the austerity of postwar britain . change in family life and sexual mores was represented in the 1960s by a range of legislative developments : the abortion act of 1967 ; the sexual offences act of 1967 , partially decriminalizing homosexual activity ; the 1969 divorce reform act ; and the abolition of theatre censorship in 1968 . moreover , debate concerning sexual mores continued in britain throughout the 20th century and into the 21st , not least regarding the ongoing attempts to change the legal
the british andrology society guidelines for the assessment of post vasectomy semen samples recommend that initial assessment is undertaken 16 weeks post vasectomy and after the patient has produced at least 24 ejaculates . the laboratory should examine a freshly produced seminal fluid specimen by direct microscopy and if no sperm are seen the centrifugate should be examined for the presence of motile and non - motile spermatozoa . it is recommended that the clinician should give clearance after the production of two consecutive sperm free ejaculates . in cases of persistent identification of non - motile spermatozoa the referring clinician should advise the patient regarding the cessation of other contraceptive precautions . surgeons are responsible both preoperatively and postoperatively for the counselling of couples regarding complications and the possibility of late recanalisation after clearance .
’s role in society . they were complemented by the growth of women’s employment , particularly in part - time jobs and most notably in the service sector , so that after 1945 a different life cycle for women evolved that included the return to work after childbirth . these changes did not result in the equality of earnings , however ; for example , despite the
forms , not only for the youth . the development of a uniform popular culture , at least as expressed through popular music , was greatly beholden to similar developments in the united states , where social identities were explored and developed in terms of black popular music , not just by african americans but also by young white americans . given the great importance of afro - caribbean immigration into britain after 1945 , and latterly south asian immigration , the experience of ethnic minorities in britain to some degree also paralleled that of the united states . concerns about national identity , as well as personal and group identity , became more important as britain became a multicultural society and as the growth of european integration and economic globalization increasingly called british—and english , welsh , and scottish—identity into question .
was well - meaning and highly intelligent , he was badly equipped to handle the science of economics and the depression . by the end of 1930 , unemployment was nearly double the figure of 1928 and would reach 25 percent of the workforce by the spring of 1931 . it was accompanied , after the closing of banks in germany in may , by a devastating run on gold in british banks that threatened the stability of the
in terms of the occupational structure of britain , the aftermath of world war i saw the decline of the great 19th - century staple industries become increasingly sharp , and the interwar experience of textiles was particularly difficult . the great expansion of mining after 1881 became a contraction , particularly from the 1930s , and domestic service , which itself may be termed a staple industry , suffered similarly . in 1911 these sectors accounted for some 20 percent of the british
. from 1974 the unexpected windfall of the discovery of large oil reserves under the north sea , together with the increase in oil prices that year , transformed britain into a considerable player in the field of oil production ( production soared from 87 , 000 tons in 1974 to 75 , 000 , 000 tons five years later ) . the political use of oil revenues was seen by some as characteristic of the failure of successive british governments to put them to good economic and social use .
all of this made britain’s decision , after fierce political discussion , not to join the planned eec , established by the treaty of rome on march 25 , 1957 , an event of signal importance . it meant that although economic conditions in britain did indeed improve in the last years of the 1950s and through 1960—prime minister harold macmillan could remark with only slight irony that the british people had never “had it so good”—britain nevertheless did not share in the astonishing growth in european production and trade led by the “economic miracle” in west germany . by the mid - 1960s there were signs that british prosperity was declining . increases in productivity were disappearing , and labour unrest was marked . prime minister macmillan quickly realized that it had been a mistake not to join the eec , and in july 1961 he initiated negotiations to do so . by this time , however , the french government was headed by charles de gaulle , and he chose to veto britain’s entry . britain did not join the eec until 1973 .
the restructuring of the economy away from the manual and industrial sectors , which was a consequence of the rapid decline of manufacturing industry in britain in the 1990s , also meant the decline of the old , manual working class and the coming of what has been called “postindustrial” or “postmodern” society . within industry itself , “post - fordist” ( flexible , technologically innovative , and demand - driven ) production and new forms of industrial management restructured the labour force in ways that broke up traditional
, but by 1961 they accounted for barely 5 percent . manufacturing continued to be of great importance into the third quarter of the century , when the next great restructuring occurred . after world war i an increasing emphasis on monopoly , scale , and sophisticated labour - management became apparent in british industry , though there was still much of the old “archaicism” of the 19th century to be seen , both in respect to management practices and the entrenched power of certain skilled occupations . although different from its 19th - century

within canada the provinces of nova scotia and bc are fantastically well suited for tidal development , given their tidal geography , and nova scotia is investing heavily in a future tidal power industry , and so far those investments appear to be beginning to pay off as foreign companies are setting up shop in the province to test out their tidal power designs . british columbia got an early lead in tidal stream development with the race rocks tidal project in 2006 , but has since fallen behind and the once promising industry is struggling to survive . below we talk about
research still needs to be done in a number of fields , the most important of which is making the turbines durable enough to survive the hostile aquatic environment : a test turbine in nova scotia had its rotors ripped off by the immense tidal forces in the bay of fundy . corrosive salt water also takes a serious toll on equipment . they also need to be made more efficient and economical as the power they produce today remains prohibitively expensive . experiments are also ongoing on the best method for mooring the turbines to the seafloor . while most common are those put on concrete bases on the sea bed , some designs have been mounted on towers , or are even made to float in the water , tethered to the seafloor with cables . research is also being conducted on how best to hook these turbines up to the grid .
what might be described as the scheduling of the vessel is of critical importance to the charterer so that obligations to others can be fulfilled , employment opportunities not missed and flexibility maintained . the ' utmost dispatch ' clause is , as lord sumner said in suzuki & co . ltd . v j . benyon & co . ltd . ( 1926 ) 42 tlr 269 at p . 274 , a merchants ' clause with the object of giving effect to the mercantile policy of saving time . as a matter of this mercantile policy and , indeed , as a matter of the use of english a voyage will not have been prosecuted with the utmost dispatch if the owners or the master unnecessarily chooses a longer route which will cause the vessel ' s arrival at her destination to be delayed . if the charterer has sub - voyage - chartered the vessel to another or has caused bills of lading to be issued , the charterer will be under a legal obligation to ensure that the voyage be prosecuted without undue delay and without unjustifiable deviation . the charterer is entitled to look to the owner of the carrying vessel to perform this obligation and that is one of the reasons why the ' utmost dispatch ' clause is included in the usual forms of time charter .
the aims of the bas guidelines on the assessment of semen samples after vasectomy are to give guidance to laboratory staff to ensure standardisation of seminal analysis protocols and reporting of results . after consultation with members of the british association of urological surgeons , the royal college of obstetricians and gynaecologists ( rcog ) , and the family planning association ( fpa ) , the committee and members of bas have produced these guidelines . the bas guidelines do not deal with the counselling of patients or discuss the indications for male sterilisation , all of which are considered in the rcog guidelines on male and female sterilisation . 4
. the british are inveterate newspaper readers , and there was mass consumption of a nationally based daily and sunday newspaper press as early as the 1920s . this did much to create cultural uniformity , although , as with motion pictures , there were considerable differences of taste and preference regarding newspapers . however , after 1950 the emphasis on uniformity became more marked and was reinforced by the progressive concentration of ownership in the hands of a few proprietors . this circle of ownership became even smaller as time went on , so that at the beginning of the 21st century the empire of the most powerful of these media moguls ,
the ( majority ) arbitrators found that the owners were in breach of their obligation under the charterparty to ensure that the master prosecuted the voyages with the utmost dispatch and followed the charterers ' orders regarding the employment of the vessel . they then considered the defence ' error ' in navigation ( sic ) . following what they understood was the effect of the decision in s . s . lord ( owners ) v newsum sons & co . ltd . [ 1920 ] 1 kb 846 , they concluded that the planning of the voyage was not a matter of navigation ; it was not a case where the master had decided to alter course at sea .
the economic concern then of the british government in the 1950s and ’60s and indeed through the 1970s was to increase productivity and ensure labour peace so that britain could again become an exporting country able to pay for public expenditure at home while maintaining the value of its currency and its place as a world banker . a drastic run on the pound had been one of the pressing reasons for the quick withdrawal from suez in 1956 , and throughout the 1950s and ’60s britain’s share of world trade fell with almost perfect consistency by about 1 percent per year . on the other hand , britain benefited from an unprecedented rise in tourism occasioned mostly by the attraction of “swinging london . ”
indicative of the status of tidal barrage technology today is the severn barrage which had been proposed for the mouth of the severn between bristol and cardiff . the idea of a tidal power plant on this spot dates to 1925 , but justifying the excessive power costs and the environmental damage that would result led the british government to all but kill the project in 2013 . tidal lagoons have been proposed for the site instead , and the first one is expected to be completed in 2019 . for these reasons it seems unlikely much further development of tidal barrages will occur , though tidal lagoons show some promise . the main remaining hope for tidal range technologies remains the gargantuan dynamic tidal power plants proposed for china , though these remain a long way off from being realized .
on the face of it tidal power would seem to be a total slam dunk from a political perspective . not only is it carbon - free and renewable , but unlike wind and solar power the tides are entirely predictable and reliable . furthermore they do not create unsightly views for locals , like wind power , or require large amounts of land like solar , thus neutralizing powerful nimby lobbies . yet the initial hopes placed in tidal barrage power turned sour when france’s pioneering la rance project inflicted considerable environmental havoc on surrounding marine ecosystems and did not produce enough electricity to justify the construction costs . the only country currently pressing forward with aggressive tidal barrage development schemes is south korea , though the british government may eventually move forward with tidal lagoon schemes and china with dynamic tidal power .
economically , britain had been hurt severely by world war i . the huge balances of credit in foreign currencies that had provided the capital for the city of london’s financial operations for a century were spent . britain had moved from the position of a creditor to that of a debtor country . moreover , its industrial infrastructure , already out of date at the start of the war , had been allowed to depreciate and decay further . the industries of the industrial revolution , such as coal mining , textile production , and shipbuilding , upon which british prosperity had been built , were now either weakened or redundant . the japanese had usurped the textile export market . coal was superseded by other forms of energy . shipping lost during the war had to be almost fully replaced with more - modern and more - efficient vessels .
because of its geography and innovative entrepreneurs and engineers , canada is one of the world’s leaders in tidal power . canada ' s enormous tidal energy potential exceeds 42 gw , making the country one of the best places for tidal development in the world . there have been 190 suitable sites identified , with bc having the most and nunavut the greatest total potential . so far most development of tidal power in canada has been limited to british columbia and nova scotia . the bay of fundy , which lies between new brunswick and nova scotia , is canada ' s — and possibly the world ' s — most promising location for tidal power development . each day , volumes of water in excess of 100 billion tons flow in and out of the bay . that ' s more than all the world ' s freshwater rivers combined .
tidal current turbines have been on the minds of engineers and scientists since the 1970s , but only in the past eight years have they seen sustained investment . as of now the entire sector looks about ready to take off . the british company marine current turbines ( mct ) paved the way for tidal projects when it unveiled its seagen turbine in 2008 . the 1 . 2 mw tidal energy converter is located in northern ireland where it provides enough power for about 1 , 000 homes . since seagen ' s success , numerous plans for development and pilot projects have emerged , and about 40 different turbine designs are being tested out around the world with the united kingdom leading the development effort . they are supported by a small club of other countries , with the us , canada , norway and the netherlands having the most active development .
tidal lagoon power is pushing a tremendously ambitious proposal for a series of six tidal lagoons off britain’s western coast to be completed by 2027 , each one bigger than the last for a combined total of 15 , 900 mw of generating capacity . building these six facilities will cost some $ 65 billion , and in the process nurture a british tidal lagoon industry that can export their expertise around the world ( canada is at the very top of their list ) . unfortunately the costs will be high , at $ 4 million per mw . on the other hand the economies of scale provided by this gigantic plan and their 120 - year - lifespan would be huge advantages . a levelized cost analysis by poyry , an engineering consultancy , found the tidal lagoons would be cost competitive with wind and solar power , and even nuclear and gas power which are the cheapest power sources available .
therapia anglican church near the british summer embassy residence , that burnt down in 1911 , and this church probably survived that fire . the anglican church registers of istanbul record a wedding in tarabya chapel in 1921 . also there are earlier entries for therapia chapel in 1893 , 1891 and the earlier entries hard to decipher as it is in flowery script that have faded going back to the middle of the 19th century ( the land was donated by the sultan in 1847 ) but the wording of ‘the chapel of the ambassador to the sublime porte’ probably meant the embassy chapel in pera house . going further back in time it is clear that this building did not exist , and perhaps an earlier chapel existed inland : in 1802 a baptism is described in the chapel at ‘belgrade forest’ . and , in 1801 , there was a ceremony at the ambassador’s ‘büyükdere palace’ ! ( next neighbourhood to tarabya ) .
tidal stream technologies are essentially a decade old , and have only begun making great strides in the past five years . as yet the price is very high but it is almost certain dramatic price drops will accrue over time . furthermore any scale of tidal stream turbines can be built as opposed to one giant project for barrages , giving developers much greater flexibility . farms don’t have to be built in one go , like tidal barrages , but gradually expanded over time . an in - depth economic analysis by the carbontrust found the bulk of costs in early tidal stream farms will be in the installation , about 35 % of the total , with operations and maintenance ( 20 % ) , station keeping ( 20 % ) , power takeoff ( 10 % ) , the structure ( 10 % ) and grid connection ( 5 % ) accounting for the remainder . early british farms of about 10 mw will produce power at a range of $ 0 . 54 to $ 0 . 66 per kwh . this may sound expensive but we must remember this is roughly the cost of wind power in 1980 .
another difficulty for the owners ' argument is the fact that the owners have already agreed in the charterparty what are to be the limits within which the charterers can order the vessel to sail , for present purposes the institute warranty limits , and have undertaken that , barring unforeseen matters , the vessel will be fit to sail in those waters . it is not open to the owners to say that the vessel is not fit to sail from vancouver to japan by the shortest route within iwl . yet it was exactly this type of argument which the courts below entertained . in fact , upon the findings of the arbitrators , the vessel was fit to sail by the shorter northern route and the master did not have any good reason for preferring the longer southern route . it was not a good reason that he preferred to sail through calm waters or that he wanted to avoid heavy weather . vessels are designed and built to be able to sail safely in heavy weather . the classification society rules require , as does clause 1 of the nype form , the maintenance of these safety standards . it is no excuse for the owners to say that the shortest route would ( even if it be the case ) take the vessel through the heavy weather which she is designed to be able to encounter .
marriage was thus becoming a different kind of institution , at once more intimate and private , as well as an arena in which individual self - expression was becoming more possible than previously . in many respects , the privacy that was possible for the better - off in society in the mid - and late 19th century became increasingly possible for those less well - off in the course of the 20th century . however , the privacy that new kinds of family life and new economic possibilities made possible for poorer people differed from middle - class privacy . it was concerned with securing order and control of people’s lives in economic conditions that were still often difficult . as a result , “working - class respectability” differed from the respectability evident further up the social scale . for instance , privacy was evident in the slowly increasing possibility of separate rooms for separate functions ( kitchens , sculleries , and bathrooms , for example ) and the development of more - private sleeping arrangements . however , the respectability of this private life was also public in that it was on show to neighbours as a living proof of the family’s capacity to create order in difficult lives : the elaborately presented front of the house and the purposefully opened curtains of the “best room” of the home displayed the carefully presented if precarious affluence of the family .
in the conditions of economic stability and prosperity at the turn of the 21st century , a relatively large middle group arose in terms of income , housing , and lifestyle that politicians and others began to refer to as “middle england . ” in effect this meant scotland and wales as well , although in britain as a whole the old imbalance between west and east continued , in a similar fashion to that between north and south in england . however , even this middle was exposed to the vagaries of financial markets and an underperforming welfare state . moreover , the gap between the least well - off and the most well - off widened even further , so that alongside the new rich were the new poor , or underclass . social mobility either declined or stalled in comparison with the 1960s—in particular , the capacity of the poorest parents to send their children to university . levels of poverty among children continued to be high . the reborn postindustrial cities of the north and midlands , such as manchester , came to symbolize much of the new britain , with their mixture of revitalized city centres and deprived city perimeters that were home to the new poor . however , as had long been the case , the economic centre of the country remained in london and the southeast . britain thus became a prosperous but increasingly unequal and divided society .
in support of this argument , the charterers primarily relied upon larrinaga ss co v the king [ 1945 ] ac 246 . the vessel in question had suffered a marine casualty : in the early hours of 14 october 1939 , in a storm , she had stranded on a bank outside st nazaire . she was at the time under requisition by the british government on the terms of the t99a charterparty which effectively incorporated war risks insurance . this insurance includes cover for accidents occurring during or the consequence of
warlike operations
. the vessel had at the time received an oral order from a sea transport officer to vacate the berth and sail to join a convoy proceeding to the bristol channel . as a result of the stranding the vessel was seriously damaged . her owners sought to recover the cost of repairs from the government . they put their claim on two bases , neither of which succeeded . first , they claimed that the casualty was a consequence of a warlike operation : it was not , nor was she engaged on such an operation at the time . secondly , they claimed under the charterparty indemnity clause on the basis that the casualty was caused by obeying an order regarding the employment of the vessel . this too failed for a number of reasons . the only order as regards the employment of the vessel was that requiring her to proceed from the french port to the english port ; that order did not cause the casualty ; in any event the order to leave st . nazaire had been a naval order not an order of the charterer . the relevant parts of the speeches are those relating to whether there was an order of the charterer regarding the employment of the vessel and whether the casualty was caused by that order or by the master ' s navigation of the vessel . the question of causation is a real one . lord porter stressed this at pp . 260 - 1 . he referred to the fact that employment related to the employment of the vessel and that the order had been to sail after discharge was complete . he said :

the rotary machine switching system , or most commonly known as the rotary system , was a type of automatic telephone exchange manufactured and used primarily in europe from the 1910s .

formally named the no. 7-a machine switching system , it was developed in belgium by international western electric , a subsidiary of american telephone and telegraph ( at&t ) , at the same time when at&t 's american engineering division , western electric , was developing the panel switch in the united states .

the rotary and panel systems were very different systems , but both used the same newly developed component technology , such as western electric 's latest relays , and the principles of the lorimer system of revertive pulsing and preselection .

the rotary switches were smaller than the panel system , and served only 200 rather than 500 stations .

the initial version was the model 7a .

it was succeeded by 7a1 and 7a2 and a rural system had the designation 7d .

the third machine - switching system developed before the first world war was the rotary of the ( american ) western electric concern ( western electric was the manufacturing arm of the bell system ) . during this period the company was very active in europe and felt the need for an automatic exchange system to sell here . rotary had been developed by the bell system in parallel with the panel system . rotary differed from the latter by using selecting switches with rotary rather than linear motion . both rotary and panel differed from strowger in that they used power - driven sequence and selecting switches controlled by revertive pulsing and also employed digit registers for the wanted number and translation . the rotary system was developed by a group led by f . r . mcberty and was considered less favourable for bell system use than rotary ; it was , however , thought fully adequate for use in europe and in 1911 mcberty was sent to western electric ' s european plants to set up facilities for further development ( antwerp ) and production ( north woolwich and antwerp ) .

another thought - provoking comparison of these technologies is that of potential cross - directional bond width . in a stationary or blade system , the seal width is limited by the width of the horn blade , but in a rotary system , the horn can travel across the web and is only limited by the design of the process configuration .
whilst the strowger technique was the longest established system of automatic telephone switching , it was by no means the only option open to the post office when it decided to make its trials . three alternatives were the lorimer , rotary and betulander systems , and as we have already noted , a lorimer system was ordered for the caterham valley .
once you have made the decision to apply this technology to your application , you will need to choose between a rotary ultrasonic system and a stationary or blade ultrasonic system . there are some applications that will have an obvious solution , but most of the time , you will have to consider both avenues to understand which route will be most beneficial .
rotary systems work well in both intermittent and continuous processes while the blade systems are more suitable for intermittent systems . rotary horns also provide higher continuous power delivery and more uniform horn amplitude . more power means faster , more consistent sealing and more uniformity delivers higher , more consistent and efficient seal performance .

in other designs of the system , an on - axis telescope is utilized with an auto - alignment system to align the sensor system and / or beam delivery system with a target . the use of the on - axis telescope simplifies the auto - alignment system . however , a central obscuration created by a secondary mirror results in a matching hole in the output beam . the on - axis telescope configuration , generally , does not operate correctly for beam systems that produce a solid beam profile with no central obscuration . an off - axis , unobscured telescope for the beam delivery system overcomes this problem .
