Industrial troubles with the pilots delayed the start of services until 26 April 1924, when a daily London–Paris route was opened with a de Havilland DH.34. Thereafter the only IAL aircraft operating 'North of Watford' were charter flights. IAL immediately discontinued its predecessors' service to points north of London, the airline being focused on international and imperial service rather than domestic. The land operations were based at Croydon Airport to the south of London. The government had appointed two directors, Hambling (who was also President of the Institute of Bankers) and Major John Hills, a former Treasury Financial Secretary. Sir Eric Geddes was appointed the chairman of the board with one director from each of the merged companies. Imperial Airways Limited was formed on 31 March 1924 with equipment from each contributing concern: British Marine Air Navigation Company Ltd, the Daimler Airway, Handley Page Transport Ltd and the Instone Air Line Ltd. The agreement set out the government subsidies for the new company: £137,000 in the first year diminishing to £32,000 in the tenth year as well as minimum mileages to be achieved and penalties if these weren't met. Agreement was made between the President of the Air Council and the British, Foreign and Colonial Corporation on 3 December 1923 for the company, under the title of the 'Imperial Air Transport Company' to acquire existing air transport services in the UK. With this in view, a £1m subsidy over ten years was offered to encourage the merger. It was hoped that this would create a company which could compete against French and German competition and would be strong enough to develop Britain's external air services while minimizing government subsidies for duplicated services. ![]() The committee, set up on 2 January 1923, produced a report on 15 February 1923 recommending that four of the largest existing airlines, the Instone Air Line Company, owned by shipping magnate Samuel Instone, Noel Pemberton Billing's British Marine Air Navigation (part of the Supermarine flying-boat company), the Daimler Airway, under the management of George Edward Woods, and Handley Page Transport Co Ltd., should be merged. Imperial Airways was created against a background of stiff competition from French and German airlines that enjoyed heavy government subsidies and following the advice of the government's Hambling Committee (formally known as the C.A.T Subsidies Committee) under Sir Herbert Hambling. Formation Handley Page W.8b inherited from Handley Page Transport when Imperial Airways was formed The launch of the airline followed a burst of air route surveying in the British Empire after the First World War, and after some experimental (and often dangerous) long-distance flying to the margins of Empire. The establishment of Imperial Airways occurred in the context of facilitating overseas settlement by making travel to and from the colonies quicker, and that flight would also speed up colonial government and trade that was until then dependent upon ships. BOAC in turn merged with the British European Airways (BEA) in 1974 to form British Airways. Imperial Airways never achieved the levels of technological innovation of its competitors and was merged into the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) in 1939. Accidents were frequent: in the first six years, 32 people died in seven incidents. Passengers were typically businessmen or colonial administrators, and most flights carried about 20 passengers or fewer. Imperial Airways was an early British commercial long-range airline, operating from 1924 to 1939 and principally serving the British Empire routes to South Africa, India, Australia and the Far East, including Malaya and Hong Kong. ![]()

This has often been debated, but the most common reasoning for the prevalence of tentacles is due to Japan’s pornography laws. Tentacles have enjoyed a long relationship with anime, appearing in anime as early as the 80’s, but how did such a bizarre scene come about, and why is it so popular? While there is one example of tentacle rape in Japanese literature going back a few centuries, it did not become widespread until a few decades ago. The most common source of tentacles in anime are octopi, black holes, demons, monsters, and sometimes hair. ![]() Tentacles can originate from various things. Ever wonder what was in your takoyaki? Now you know. Don’t worry though, tentacles usually end up getting sliced into bite-size pieces by the end of the ordeal. This is the beginning of the tentacle rape scene. ![]() More tentacles appear and start wrapping themselves around the woman, especially around the chest, legs, and mouth. Suddenly, a pair of red/pink/green/blue tentacles lashes out of nowhere and bind our unsuspecting victim in the air. Regular anime viewers are probably well acquainted with the tentacle, but for those who aren’t as well-versed, it starts off with a beautiful young woman that may or may not be wandering into a dangerous area. One of the weirder tropes in anime, and perhaps even the weirdest, is that of the tentacle rape scene. It could be anything from a character running out of the house in the morning with a piece of toast in her mouth, or that every teen series has at least one beach/swimsuit episode where characters get to strut their stuff. When you’ve been watching anime for a few years, you begin to notice things that happen in multiple series. ![]() ![]() ![]() One of the major challenges with instructional design is selecting the correct tools to build learning experiences. This version of augmented reality that is adapted for education can be utilized in an online learning environment and can be utilized by instructional designers. The application also translates spoken word in real time, which allows all learners to access audio in written form, in their own language, online or in-person. This augmented reality is ground breaking because this allows online learners to access content in other languages. This application provides users with tools to translate between languages and they now include an image option users take a photograph of a sign, piece of paper, or other form of written text and receive a translation in the language of their choice. Google Translate is now a form of augmented reality and is adapted for educational purposes. If there is a way to view an untranslated version, other than sending it to the home page (with the already unreliable transcription of what is displayed), I haven’t figured it out. ![]() I can’t trust that the AI hasn’t decided to substitute what is displayed with something different and perhaps has changed the meaning, by even a slight, but significant amount.Ī faithful transcription will allow me to puzzle out what the meaning may by allowing me to review the characters displayed, not the characters that have been substituted.Īlso, with the same feature, I used to be able to view the characters in the photo and choose which characters to translate, but now, I can only choose the translated segments. Lately, it seems the app will not faithfully transcribe what is displayed, but will change the characters displayed. I use this primarily for Chinese language and often use the camera feature.

NOT flat 2x's which do nothing as rafter ties because of the connection at the rafters. You really need rafter ties (1x4) installed ON EDGE, fastened to opposing rafters per minimum code. Perhaps drywall layout started on the other side of the house and ended with the short-1’ wide piece at the crack. The shorter drywall ceiling is completely fastened to the short c.j.’s only, so the won’t move. The two end nails/screws into the short c.j. The weakest spot would be the short ceiling joists where the larger drywall is fastened to the main room ceiling-8’ or 12’ long. Then drywall applied in it’s spread condition with the latest movement because of the loading with the layers of old roofing added, and no ties to hold it stable. Without proper rafter ties at construction, the other wall could have moved outward when the roofing material was stocked. I would sight for straight the other side of the house's fascia board (opposite of the crack on main roof). The rest of the drawing would help.īecause of it's proximity to the wall, is there a smaller piece (1' rip) nailed to the shorter ceiling joists, and a larger piece, 8' or 12' nailed to the common house ceiling joists? Is that a building ell where the roof framing has a valley? If so, the wall is not moving outward against 20' of right-angle wall with shear sheathing, abutting. But I'm wondering who would be experienced in something like this? A roofer? A general contractor? Would a pro typically have some type of insurance that would protect me if something went wrong like the rafters being damaged? Maybe a mending plate could be placed on either side of the rafter to help prevent the possibility of a split ? Īt some point I might just want to bail out and have a pro take over for this task. And maybe I'm paranoid but it seems like it could be possible for the rafter to split if the force is too great. I'm just wondering what affect drilling a hole into the bottom of a rafter will have on the strength of the rafter. Is there some software that can do the math for me? If I were a mathematician I might attempt to figure this out. However a gable beam is intersecting the problem area so that seems like it would make it tricky to calculate the forces. I can understand how the force could be calculated. The engineer's idea was to apply the force to just the rafter that is above ceiling location where the crack first appeared. What would you do? My diagram is not complete but it hopefully is to explain the situation. But I can't help think that it would be better to first pull in the rafter some and then install the bracing beam while it's under tension. Maybe I should just leave well enough alone and simply put the 2X4 bracing in and hope the problem will stop. There would also be the danger of the cable snapping and causing serious bodily harm. Perhaps great enough to rip the connection point out of the rafter and cause serious damage the rafter. The force needed to close the crack could be great. The connection point would need to be at the bottom of each rafter. ![]() I'm interested in closing the crack but am at a loss as to how to go about connecting a cable to the opposing rafters. The crack is about 1/16th of an inch wide. ![]() The engineer also suggested the option of attaching a cable to two opposing rafters and using a cable puller to attempt to pull the rafter together just enough to close or partially close the ceiling crack. He also suggested installing rafter ties which I am planning on doing. That should hopefully prevent any further spreading out. The structural engineer suggested laying another 2X4 over the joists in the affected area. I'd like to repair the crack in the ceiling. I had the old roof torn off last year and now there is just one layer of shingles so the excess weight should not a problem any more. The area above the crack does not have a 2X4 brace immediately over the attic joists. My roof had three layers of shingles bearing down and we believe this excess weight has over time caused the wall to be pushed out a fraction of an inch which has caused cracks in the ceiling. 2X4s are laid flat and nailed across the attic rafters to provide bracing against the outward force of the roof pressing down. ![]() Most roofs use attic joist that run parallel to the rafters but in my roof the attic joists are perpendicular to the rafters. After three visits from two different structural engineers I think the cause of the cracks has been identified. It's about five feet long, surrounded by hairline cracks and is about a foot from the the wall is lined up with the wall. Over the past few years a long crack has developed in my living room ceiling. ![]() ![]() Note: To see options for this menu, please go to the Vibration and Force Feedback navigation tab on ea.com/able.
