SS Empire Florizel. Empire Florizel was a  cargo ship that was built in 1943  by Lithgows, Greenock, Renfrewshire, United Kingdom for the Ministry of War Transport (MoWT). She had a short career, being bombed and sunk during the Allied invasion of Sicily exactly three months after her launch.

Description
The ship was  long between perpendiculars ( overall), with a beam of . She had a depth of  and a draught of . She was assessed at , .

The ship was propelled by a 520 nhp  triple expansion steam engine, which had cylinders of 23½ inches (60 cm), 37½ inches (96 cm) and  diameter by  stroke. The engine was built by John Brown & Co. Ltd, Clydebank, Renfrewshire. It drove a single screw propeller.

History
The ship was built in 1943 by Lithgows Ltd, Greenock, Renfrewshire. She was yard number 990. She was launched on 21 April 1943. Her port of registry was Greenock. The Code Letters BFGY andUnited Kingdom Official Number 169503 were allocated. Empire Florizel was operated under the management of J & G Harrison & Co. Ltd., Glasgow, Renfrewshire. Her 48 crew were supplemented by 21 DEMS gunners.

Carrying 4,000 tons of military and invasion stores and fourteen passengers, Empire Florizel made her maiden voyage as a member of Convoy KMS 96G, which departed from the Clyde on 25 June 1943 and passed Gibraltar on 6 July. Redesignated KMS 19, the convoy arrived at Algiers, Algeria on 8 July in preparation for Operation Husky. Redesignated KMS 19Y, the convoy departed from Algiers on 14 July and arrived at Augusta, Sicily, Italy on 20 July. Empire Florizel was bombed and sunk at Augusta on 21 July. Two of her crew, four gunners and three passengers were killed. The two crew members killed are commemorated on the Tower Hill Memorial in London.

United Machine Workers' Association. The United Machine Workers' Association was a trade union representing engineers in the United Kingdom.

The union was founded in 1844 in Manchester and initially grew only slowly, having to compete directly with the larger Amalgamated Society of Engineers (ASE) for members.  Matthew Arrandale became secretary in 1885, when it still had only 371 members.  Under his leadership, it grew rapidly.  This enabled him to take the role full-time in 1887, and the union reached 2,500 members by 1891.  That year, the union was a founder member of the Federation of Engineering and Shipbuilding Trades in 1891.

The union had 3,800 members by 1900, and again began growing quickly, with 14,000 in 1915.  From 1916, it admitted all engineering workers who used machines, regardless of level of skill or training.  Following World War I, it began discussions on a possible merger with the ASE, and the two merged along with six other unions in 1920, forming the Amalgamated Engineering Union.

Land consumption. Land consumption as part of human resource consumption is the conversion of land with healthy soil and intact habitats into areas for industrial agriculture, traffic (road building) and especially urban human settlements. More formally, the EEA has identified three land consuming activities:
The expansion of built-up area which can be directly measured;
the absolute extent of land that is subject to exploitation by agriculture, forestry or other economic activities; and
the over-intensive exploitation of land that is used for agriculture and forestry.
In all of those respects, land consumption is equivalent to typical land use in industrialized regions and civilizations.

Since often aforementioned conversion activities are virtually irreversible, the term land loss is also used. From 1990 to 2000,  of open space were consumed in the U.S. In Germany, land is being consumed at a rate of more than  every day (~ per 10 years). In European Union, land take is estimated approximately about to 1.2 million hectares in 21 EU countries over the period 1990–2006.

Land loss can also happen due to natural factors, like erosion or desertification - nevertheless most of those can also eventually be tracked back to human activities. Another slightly different interpretation of the term is the forced displacement or compulsory acquisition of a native people or settlers from their original land due to land grabbing, etc. Again, in most cases, this will be due to economic reasons like search for profitable investment and commodification of natural resources.

Reducing global land loss, which progresses at an alarming rate, is vital since the land footprint, the area required both domestically and abroad to produce the goods and services consumed by a country or region, can be much larger than the land actually used or even available in the country itself.

While land prices have surged in the first few years of the 21st century, land consumption economy still lacks environmental full-cost accounting to add the long-term costs of environmental degradation.

Consequences of land consumption
The major effects of land conversion for economic growth are:
Land degradation
Habitat loss – built-up areas support only particularly adapted species
Soil degradation – loss or contamination of top soil by civilization waste and general pollution
Soil compaction – buildings, heavy machinery and vehicle traffic compact the soil to a degree that macrobiotic soil life is eradicated
Impervious surfaces – asphalt and concrete seal off the soil from the atmosphere and disrupt natural water and biogeochemical cycles

Heating and Domestic Engineers' Union. The Heating and Domestic Engineers' Union (H&DEU) was a trade union representing a wide range of workers, particularly those involved with domestic pipework, in the United Kingdom.

The union was founded in 1872 as the Amalgamated Stove, Grate and Kitchen Range Fitters' Protection Society.  It hoped to compete with the Amalgamated Society of Engineers by restricting its membership to those in a specific trade, but was also less selective in deciding the qualifications for membership.

The union survived, but remained very small for many years with only 360 by the end of the century.  It changed its name to the Amalgamated Society of Kitchen Range, Hot Water, Art Metal and Other Fitters Concerned with the Above Trades in 1887, then to the United Society of Fitters and Smiths in 1898.

In 1908, the Amalgamated Society of Whitesmiths, Domestic Engineers and General Pipe Fitters and the Birmingham Society of Hot Water and Steam Engineers merged into the union, which changed its name to the National Union of Operative Heating and Domestic Engineers, Whitesmiths and General Iron Workers.  It relocated its head office to Birmingham, and was finally able to claim a membership of more than 1,000 workers.

The Society of Smiths, Fitters, Hot Water and Steam Engineers merged into the union in 1911.  In 1948, it renamed itself as the National Union of Operative Heating and Domestic Engineers and General Iron Workers, then in 1956 it shortened this to the "Heating and Domestic Engineers' Union".

In 1967, the union merged into the National Union of Sheet Metal Workers and Coppersmiths.

G-10 (material). G-10 or garolite is a high-pressure fiberglass laminate, a type of composite material. It is created by stacking multiple layers of glass cloth, soaked in epoxy resin, then compressing the resulting material under heat until the epoxy cures. It is manufactured in flat sheets, most often a few millimeters thick.  

G-10 is very similar to Micarta and carbon fiber laminates, except that glass cloth is used as filler material. (Note that the professional nomenclature of "filler" and "matrix" in composite materials may be somewhat counterintuitive when applied to soaking textiles with resin.)

G-10 is the toughest of the glass fiber resin laminates and therefore the most commonly used.

Properties

G-10 is favored for its high strength, low moisture absorption, and high level of electrical insulation and chemical resistance. These properties are maintained not only at room temperature but also under humid or moist conditions. It was first used as a substrate for printed circuit boards, and its designation, G-10, comes from a National Electrical Manufacturers Association standard for this purpose.

Decorative uses
Decorative variations of G-10 are produced in many colors and patterns and are especially used to make handles for knives, grips for firearms and other tools.  These can be textured (for grip), bead blasted, sanded or polished.  Its strength and low density make it useful for other kinds of handcrafting as well.

Structural uses
G-10 is used to reinforce the edges of fiberglass coated wood. It is used to protect the point-of-contact on many such items. During ordinary use it is the G-10 that takes the brunt of the blow. In such applications it is meant to be replaced as it wears. G-10 is also used as a 3D-Printer build surface.

G-10 is also commonly used as a material for durable knife and gun handles and grips.

Hazards 

G-10 is safe to handle absent extreme conditions.

Hazards can result from cutting or grinding the material, as glass and epoxy dust are well known to contribute to respiratory disorders and may increase the risk of developing lung cancer. For any work of this kind, the work space should be appropriately ventilated and masks or respirators worn.

Epoxy resin is flammable and, once ignited, will burn vigorously, giving off poisonous gases. For this reason, materials such as FR-4 containing flame retardant additives have replaced G-10 in certain applications.

British Automation and Robot Association. The British Automation and Robot Association (BARA) is a UK trade membership organisation headquartered in Wallington, Surrey.

History
BARA was founded as the British Robot Association (BRA) in 1977.

As a trade and academic membership association, BRA members principally comprised automation vendors, end users, research and educational establishments; all of which had an interest in the development of the robotics and automation sector in the UK.

In 1981, BRA sponsored Automan, the UK's first automated manufacturing conference and exhibition in Brighton run by Reed Exhibitions.   The event moved to the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham in 1983 and continued as a biennial event until 1991.

BRA was one of the founder members of the International Federation on Robots (IFR), a not-for-profit organisation in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1987. 

Following the introduction of automatic equipment within the industrial manufacturing sector, BRA took the decision to change its name to BARA in 1999 to incorporate automation.

In 2009, BARA became part of the PPMA Group of Associations (now Automate UK) trading brand, which represents a range of processing equipment and packaging machinery manufacturers, robot and automation, and machine vision suppliers in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and across Western Europe and North America.

In June 2022, BARA announced that it would co-host a new Automation UK exhibition in conjunction with UKIVA's Machine Vision Conference and Exhibition at the Coventry Building Society Arena (CBS) Arena in Coventry on 20-21 June 2023.

The Association confirmed it would return to the CBS Arena to hold its second live exhibition and conference event, Automation UK, on 18-19 June 2024 in conjunction with UKIVA's Machine Vision Conference and Exhibition.

About Automate UK

Automate UK (previously named the PPMA Group of Associations until 30 November 2023) is an unincorporated trading brand of PPMA Limited. It comprises the business activities of the BARA, PPMA and UKIVA, headquartered in Wallington, Surrey.
