JDS Ojika. JDS Ojika (LST-4152) was the second ship of the s of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force. She was commissioned on 22 March 1976.

Development and design 
The Maritime Self-Defense Force's transport and landing craft unit set up a fleet in 1955 with six general-purpose landing craft (LCUs) and 29 mobile landing craft (LCMs) provided by the U.S. Navy under the MSA Agreement. And. Subsequently, in 1961, based on the MSA agreement, three LST-542-class tank landing ships (LST-1 class final type) retired by the U.S. Navy were donated and started operation as Osumi type transport ships.

The three ships of the same type formed the first transport corps under the control of the Yokosuka District Force, but on May 1, 1962, they were reassigned under the direct control of the Self-Defense Fleet and engaged in maritime transport and maritime operation transport. It was an extremely practical landing ship except for the lack of speed, but all of them were built from 1944 to 1945, and since they will reach the end of their useful life in the 40's of the Showa era, an alternative ship is needed. Was there. For this reason, the design of the 1,500-ton type (45LST), which had been built for the district corps a little earlier, was expanded, and it was built as a 2,000-ton type transport ship for agile operation under the SDF fleet.

Construction and career 
She was laid down on June 10, 1974 at Ishikawajima Harima Tokyo No. 2 Factory as the 1973 planned transport ship No. 4152 based on the 4th Defense Force Development Plan, and launched on September 4, 1975, 1976. Commissioned on March 22, 2014, it was incorporated into the 1st Transport Corps under the direct control of the Self-Defense Fleet and deployed in Yokosuka.

In 1992, a Cambodian dispatched maritime transport supply unit was formed to dispatch the Self-Defense Forces to Cambodia, loaded with personnel and vehicles, and departed Yokosuka with  on September 17, 1992. They joined and arrived at the port of Sihanukville in Cambodia on October 2. Returned to Yokosuka on December 26.

She was decommissioned on August 10, 2001. The total itinerary during commissioning reached 387,699 nautical miles, 18 laps of the earth.

SS City of Bedford. SS City of Bedford was a British cargo steamship. She was launched in 1924 in Sunderland for Hall Line Ltd of Liverpool, a member of the Ellerman Lines group.

In December 1940 City of Bradford collided in fog the North Atlantic with another British cargo ship, . Both ships sank, and 48 of City of Bedfords crew were killed.

She was the first of two Ellerman Lines ships to be called City of Bedford. The second was a steam turbine ship that Alexander Stephen and Sons launched in 1950 and Ellerman Lines sold in 1972.

Details
William Gray & Company built City of Bradford at the former Ellerman, Gray, Inchcape and Strick (EGIS) shipyard in Sunderland on the River Wear. She was launched on 17 July 1924 and completed that October.

She was  long, had a beam of  and draught of . William Gray and Company's Central Marine Engine Works in West Hartlepool built her quadruple-expansion engine, which was rated at 728 NHP.

In 1933 Hall Line had a Bauer-Wach exhaust steam turbine added. Exhaust steam from the low-pressure cylinder of her piston engine drove the turbine. The turbine drove the same shaft as her piston engine by double-reduction gearing and a Föttinger fluid coupling.

The exhaust turbine increased City of Bedfords fuel efficiency. It also increased her total installed power to 844 NHP, which was a 16 per cent increase and gave her a speed of .

By 1935 City of Bedford had been fitted with wireless direction finding and an echo sounding device.

Second World War service
In the Second World War City of Bedford traded between India, Burma, Ceylon, and the east coast of Canada and the United States. She usually sailed unescorted.

On her trips between the Indian Ocean and North America, City of Bedford usually went via Port of Cape Town, except in February 1940 when she made an eastbound trip via the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal. In May, July and November 1940 she called in Trinidad.

In November and December 1940 City of Bedford also called at Montreal, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, before reaching Halifax, Nova Scotia on 16 December.

On 18 December 1940 City of Bedford left Halifax in Convoy HX 97, which was bound for Liverpool. It was the first time she had sailed in a convoy. According to one account her cargo included half a million ammunition cartridges.

On 30 December in fog 280 miles south of Iceland HX 97 ran into Convoy OB 265 coming in the opposite direction. City of Bedford collided with the Elder Dempster Lines cargo ship Bodnant, causing both ships to sink. All of Bodnants crew survived, but 48 of City of Bedfords crew were killed.

Conceptual engineering. Conceptual engineering is a field in analytic philosophy that focuses on how to best assess and improve our conceptual schemes and repertoires. One of its key features is its normative agenda: conceptual engineers aim to prescribe which concepts we ought to have and use, instead of merely describing those we have and use. The most standard reference in the literature is to Rudolf Carnap's notion of explication as a precursory method of conceptual engineering for theoretical purposes.

Conceptual engineering can be understood in terms of its three components: design, which is about the normative improvement of our concepts; implementation, which is about the actual uptake of the prescribed concepts via advocacy strategies; and evaluation, which is about the quality assessment of our concepts along different dimensions (explanatory, epistemic, moral, etc.). Current work in conceptual engineering goes in two main directions. Case study research on the one hand, focuses on specific concepts and then advocates for specific ameliorations. Metaphilosophical research, on the other hand, explicitly theorizes conceptual engineering as a philosophical method and deals with its foundational issues.

A common objection to conceptual engineering argues that instead of revising and improving existing concepts, conceptual engineering creates new concepts incongruent with the old ones, and is thus philosophically irrelevant or merely changing the subject. One response to this objection is to take a functionalist view of conceptual engineering, such that so long as the new concepts serve the same function as the old concepts, conceptual engineering preserves the relevant subject matter and no problematic discontinuity obtains. Another response, invoked by Herman Cappelen, argues that the relevant continuity to be preserved in conceptual engineering is that of topics; as long as there is continuity in the topics our concepts address, Cappelen argues, there is continuity in our philosophical inquiry even as the intension and extension of concepts change.

Pont Champagne. The pont Champagne is a covered bridge that crosses the Rivière Vassan near the municipality of Val-d'Or in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec, Canada.

It is named after an early pioneer, Hervé Champagne. It was painted red in the 1980s, having been grey since the '60s. In 1989 and metal support pillar was added.

The single-lane bridge is of Lattice truss bridge design. This design was modified by the Quebec Ministry of Colonisation and was used for more than 500 covered bridges in Quebec. Thirty-four covered bridges were built in Abitibi, during the colonisation of the region. Today fewer than half of them are extant.

The weight capacity is 12 tonnes. It is cited in the Quebec Cultural Heritage Directory since 2001 but does not benefit from any municipal protection.
