Great Lakes–Saint Lawrence River Basin Sustainable Water Resources Agreement. The Great Lakes–Saint Lawrence River Basin Sustainable Water Resources Agreement is a good-faith agreement among the Governors of the U.S. states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan,  Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, and the Premiers of the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec. The agreement details how the States and Provinces will manage the use of the Great Lakes Basin's water supply and builds on the 1985 Great Lakes Charter and its 2001 Annex. It was signed on December 13, 2005.

Implementation
The agreement provides a framework for each Great Lakes state and province to enact programs and laws protecting the Basin.  The states are meeting the agreement's commitments through the companion Great Lakes Compact.  This compact was enacted into law on December 8, 2008, following approval by the state legislatures and the United States Congress, and signature by President George W. Bush.
 
In order to put the agreement into law in Ontario and Quebec, the provinces amended their statutes and regulations. It was enacted by the Quebec National Assembly on June 11, 2009, and by the Ontario Provincial Parliament on June 4, 2007.  Ontario's Implementing Regulations were adopted on January 1, 2015, allowing the Agreement to begin coming fully into force as of March 8, 2015.

The Conference of Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Governors and Premiers serves as secretariat to the Governors' and Premiers' Regional Body created by the Agreement and the Governors' Compact Council created by the Compact.

Lift table bellows. A lift table bellows (also known as lift table skirting) is a safety device that forms a protective barrier between the lift table operator and the equipment's moving parts.

The protective barrier is constructed from a wide range of material with 23oz vinyl being the most common in industrial applications.

Purpose
The purpose of the lift table bellows is to keep the operator's hands and feet from getting inside of the lifter where they could be pinched.

In addition to protecting the operators, lift table skirting also protects the equipment. This protective cover can prevent the ingress of abrasive dust particles, dirt, and other common contaminants from prematurely wearing out precision machine parts. Thereby, this reduces expensive downtime and loss of vital machine accuracy and up time.

Common purposes of lift table bellows include:
 Protecting the operator from moving parts
 Protecting the equipment from debris which could prematurely wear out critical components
 Maintaining a sterile clean environment inside of the equipment
 Meeting medical standards for patient positioning tables in hospitals

Use

Industry
Industries that commonly use lift tables include:
 Woodworking
 Manufacturing
 Food processing
 Automotive industry
 Aerospace industry

Healthcare
They are also used in hospitals and physician's offices.

In the United States, in some instances, the U.S. Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires that bellows be installed on all moving equipment to protect nearby operators and associates. This varies from state to state and industry.

Auster Adventurer. The Auster J/5 Adventurer is a British-built three-seat light high-wing monoplane of the late 1940s.

Development

The Adventurer three-seat high-wing monoplane was developed from the J/1 Autocrat with extra power provided by the installation of the 130 h.p. Gipsy Major engine, to enable more flexible operations in the hotter climate of Australia and New Zealand, where most examples were sold. Unlike the similarly powered J/1 Aiglet and J/1N Alpha, the Adventurer retained the smaller tail surfaces of the Autocrat, the new engine being set back sufficiently far for the original fin area to remain sufficient.

The prototype Adventurer was converted to the new standard from a J/1 Autocrat c/n 2093 and first flew on 15 November 1947. This was followed by a further 58 production examples delivered between 1948 and 1952.

Operational history

Most J/5s were sold to private pilot owners in Australia and New Zealand where they were given the name Adventurer. Eleven Adventurers were still in service in Australia in 2009 and one in New Zealand (see image). Six Adventurers were sold to the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) and four to the Royal Rhodesian Air Force (RRAF). Five examples were completed for agricultural use as the J/5A Cropduster and served in Africa and Pakistan.

Variants

 J/5  civil version, also operated by the RNZAF and RRAF (54 aircraft)
 J/5A  agricultural version with spray bars, spray tank etc. (5 aircraft)

Operators

Royal New Zealand Air Force operated six J/5 Aiglets.

Southern Rhodesian Air Force operated four.

Saint James Airfield. Saint James Airfield is an abandoned World War II military airfield, which is located near the commune of Saint-James in the Normandy region of northern France.

Located just outside Saint-James, the United States Army Air Force established a temporary airfield on 8 August 1944, shortly after the Allied landings in France  The airfield was constructed by the IX Engineering Command, 825th Engineer Aviation Battalion.

History
Known as Advanced Landing Ground "A-29", the airfield consisted of a single 5000' (1500m) Prefabricated Hessian Surfacing/Compressed Earth runway aligned 13/31. In addition, tents were used for billeting and also for support facilities; an access road was built to the existing road infrastructure; a dump for supplies, ammunition, and gasoline drums, along with a drinkable water and minimal electrical grid for communications and station lighting.

The 373d Fighter Group, based P-47 Thunderbolt fighters at Saint James from 19 August though 19 September 1944.

The fighter planes flew support missions during the Allied invasion of Normandy, patrolling roads in front of the beachhead; strafing German military vehicles and dropping bombs on gun emplacements, anti-aircraft artillery and concentrations of German troops in Normandy and Brittany when spotted.

After the Americans moved east into Central France with the advancing Allied Armies, the airfield was closed on 28 September 1944.  Today the long dismantled airfield is indistinguishable from the agricultural fields in the area.

Router table (woodworking). A router table is a stationary woodworking machine in which a vertically oriented spindle of a woodworking router protrudes from the machine table and can be spun at speeds typically between 3000 and 24,000 rpm. Cutter heads (router bits) may be mounted in the spindle chuck. As the workpiece is fed into the machine, the cutters mold a profile into it. The machine normally features a vertical fence, against which the workpiece is guided to control the horizontal depth of cut. Router tables are used to increase the versatility of a hand-held router, as each method of use is particularly suited to specific application, e.g. very large workpieces would be too large to support on a router table and must be routed with a hand-held machine, very small workpieces would not support a hand-held router and must be routed on a router table with the aid of pushtool accessories etc.

Varieties 
Router tables exist in three varieties:
 floor standing machines
 accessories bolted into table saws
 small bench-top machines

Use 
Router tables are used in one of three ways.  In all cases, an accessory is used to direct the workpiece.

 A fence is used, with the router bit partially emerging from the fence.  The workpiece is then moved against the fence, and the exposed portion of the router bit removes material from the workpiece.
 No fence is used.  A template is affixed to the workpiece, and a router bit with a ball bearing guide is used.  The ball bearing guide bears against the template, and the router bit removes material from the workpiece so as to make the workpiece the same shape as the template.
 A "pin router" accessory is used.  A pin router originally had a pin in the table that would trace the part and hung the router motor on an "over arm" that rose from one edge or corner of the router table, arced over the table, and descends directly (coaxially) towards the pin. This was a big safety concern as people's hand were very accessible to the cutter. In 1976, C.R. Onsrud patented the Inverted Pin Router that reversed the two and mounted the motor under the table and the guide pin on the "over arm". A template (with an interior recess on the top face removed) is affixed to the workpiece, and the guide pin is lowered into this recess. The template is then moved against the pin, carrying the workpiece against the spinning router bit and creating a duplicate of the patterned part.

History 
Router tables evolved as shop improvised tools.  Individual woodworkers began taking routers, mounting them in an inverted position beneath a table, and using the routers' depth adjustment to raise the bit through a hole in the table surface.

Over time manufacturers began selling accessories (pre-made table tops, table legs, table inserts, fences, hold downs, vertical adjustment tools ("lifts"), etc.

Finally, manufacturers began selling complete packages, such as the Inverted Pin Router, which put them in the business of effectively selling wood shapers, the very tool that shop improvised router tables were created as inexpensive substitutes for.

Bibb v. Navajo Freight Lines, Inc.. Bibb v. Navajo Freight Lines, Inc., 359 U.S. 520 (1959), is a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that the Illinois law requiring trucks to have unique mudguards was unconstitutional under the Commerce clause.

Background 
The state of Illinois enacted a statute requiring curved mud guards, instead of straight mudflaps on trucks driven in Illinois. Although there was no federal regulation requiring mudflaps or mudguards, Arkansas required straight mudflaps, which were legal in at least 45 states.  The Illinois legislature asserted that the unique curved mudguards would be more useful in preventing stones and other debris to be kicked up from the back of trucks, thus preventing more accidents than other types of mudflaps. The plaintiffs were trucking companies who drove through Illinois and would have to use one form of mudflap equipment while in Illinois, but other mudflap equipment while in other states. The named plaintiff was Navajo Freight Lines, Inc., of New Mexico.

The only issue was whether in the absence of federal regulation, in this context did the Commerce Clause allow one State to prescribe standards that would affect interstate carriers in a way that would conflict with the standards of another State.

Opinion of the Court 
The Supreme Court held that the Illinois law was unconstitutional under the Commerce clause, technically the Dormant Commerce Clause.

In Bibb v. Navajo Freight Lines, 359 U.S. 520, 524 (1959), the Supreme Court stated:

The court was unanimous, but Justice Harlan filed a concurrence, which was joined by Justice Stewart. To find the statute unconstitutional, the Court balanced the benefit of the regulation to the state (in the form of increased safety) against the burden on interstate commerce arising from out of state truck drivers having to stop at the Illinois border and change mudguards. Because the benefit to Illinois was small and the burden on interstate commerce large, the Court held that

Subsequent developments 
It is considered one of the leading precedents on the law of Interstate commerce.

2-Phenylethyl bromide. 2-Phenylethyl bromide is an organobromide with the formula C6H5CH2CH2Br.  It is a colorless liquid, although older samples appear yellow.  Analogous to the preparation of most 1-bromoalkanes, it is prepared by free-radical addition of hydrogen bromide to styrene.  These conditions lead to anti-Markovnikov addition, giving the 1-bromo derivatives.

Upon reaction with hydrazine, phenelzine is produced.

It can be used to produce fentanyl and is on the Special Surveillance List of the DEA.

Pound-foot (torque). A pound-foot (lb⋅ft), abbreviated from pound-force foot (lbf · ft), is a unit of torque representing one pound of force acting at a perpendicular distance of one foot from a pivot point. Conversely one foot pound-force (ft · lbf) is the moment about an axis that applies one pound-force at a radius of one foot.

Unit
The value in Système International (SI) units is given by multiplying the following exact factors:

One pound (mass) = 

Standard gravity = 9.80665 m/s2

One foot = 0.3048 m

This gives the exact conversion factor:

One pound-foot =  newton metres.

The name "pound-foot", intended to minimize confusion with the foot-pound as a unit of work, was apparently first proposed by British physicist Arthur Mason Worthington. 

Despite this, in practice torque units are commonly called the foot-pound (denoted as either lb-ft or ft-lb) or the inch-pound (denoted as in-lb).  Practitioners depend on context and the hyphenated abbreviations to know that these refer to neither energy nor moment of mass (as the symbol ft-lb rather than lbf-ft would imply).

Similarly, an inch-pound (or pound-inch) is the torque of one pound of force applied to one inch of distance from the pivot, and is equal to .  It is commonly used on torque wrenches and torque screwdrivers for setting specific fastener tension.

ICI Laboratory. ICI Fibres developed the Crimplene fibre. It is a thick, polyester yarn used to make a fabric of the same name. The resulting cloth is heavy, wrinkle-resistant and retains its shape well. Britain's defunct ICI Laboratory developed the fibre in the early 1950s and named it after the Crimple Valley in which the company was situated.

An alternative reason for the name chosen is that is crimped (i.e. bulked up) Terylene.

Land-parcel identification system. A land-parcel identification system (LPIS) is a system to identify land use for a given country. It utilises orthophotos; aerial photographs and high precision satellite images that are digitally rendered to extract as much meaningful spatial information as possible. A unique number is given to each land parcel to provide unique identification in space and time. This information is then updated regularly to monitor the evolution of the land cover and the management of the crops.
