...Last weekend I went to Grafham Water or the 29er inlands crewing for Crispin Beaumont. This was our second national event and we have put in a load of hours training at Bartley SC in the run up. We arrived at Grafham early Saturday morning. It was about 5 degrees and a light onshore breeze, the forecast was for the wind to gradually pic up then drop off throughout the day, not amounting to much only about 8 knots. There was to be 4 races scheduled on the saturday as there was unpredictable wind on the sunday. We launched fairly quickly and made our way out to the start line, we where starting in the blue fleet so we where second start and had plenty of time to set up the boat and work out the line bias. We didn't have the best of starts in the first race and sailed in dirty air throughout the first beat and so therefore rounded the first mark about 35th (which was really near the back of the fleet) we where really determined to make up some places so we really put our heads together and managed to take 10 boats on the downwind leg and a further 5 on the finish line to secure a 26th which we weren't to happy with to be honest and we knew we needed to change the way we tackled the fleet. We made a few changes and started the second race fairly well at the pin end and then worked our way to the right side of the course which seemed to pay. We had a decent leg and rounded the first mark roughly 20th. On the downwind we made a few misjudgments and lost some places. We...

Waves travel and transfer energy from one point to another, often with little or no permanent displacement of the particles of the medium (that is, with little or no associated mass transport); instead there are oscillations around almost fixed locations. Wave power refers to the energy of ocean surface waves and the capture of that energy to do useful work — including electricity generation, desalination, and the pumping of water (into reservoirs). Wave power is a form of renewable energy. Though often co-mingled, wave power is distinct from tidal...

...industrial sectors, which are the primary, secondary and tertiary sector. After than for each classification I will use 3 examples. The primary sector: The primary sector is the economic sector that provides raw materials and basic food. It’s involves growing, extracting or converting natural resources in to primary product (raw materials). In this sector the majority of the business is agriculture, fishing, mining and quarrying industries. I will give below 3 examples: Fishing, Diary Farm and Apple Orchard. Fish Farm HESY Aquaculture B.V. is specialized in design and construction of fish farming systems. HESY constructed fish farming systems world-wide since 1984. These fish farms are based on water purification and water recirculation and can be used for fresh water as well as salt water. Basically all kind of fish species can be farmed in a HESY recirculation system. For example: Eel, Pike perch, Sturgeon, Trout, Tilapia, Catfish, Barramundi, White Fish, Salmon, Turbot, Sea bass, Sea bream and Cobia [pic] Apple Orchard Lakeland Hampers Apple Orchard Juice Co.

...I I HAVE noticed that when someone asks for you on the telephone and, finding you out, leaves a message begging you to call him up the moment you come in, and it’s important, the matter is more often important to him than to you. When it comes to making you a present or doing you a favour most people are able to hold their impatience within reasonable bounds. So when I got back to my lodgings with just enough time to have a drink, a cigarette, and to read my paper before dressing for dinner, and was told by Miss Fellows, my landlady, that Mr. Alroy Kear wished me to ring him up at once, I felt that I could safely ignore his request. “Is that the writer?” she asked me. “It is.” She gave the telephone a friendly glance. “Shall I get him?” “No, thank you.” “What shall I say if he rings again?” “Ask him to leave a message.” “Very good, sir.” She pursed her lips. She took the empty siphon, swept the room with a look to see that it was tidy, and went out. Miss Fellows was a great novel reader. I was sure that she had read all Roy’s books. Her disapproval of my casualness suggested that she had read them with admiration. When I got home again, I found a note in her bold, legible writing on the sideboard. Mr. Kear rang up twice. Can you lunch with him to-morrow? If not what day will suit you? I raised my eyebrows. I had not seen Roy for three months and then only for a few minutes at a party; he had been very friendly, he always was, and when we separated he had expressed...

...ANNOTATED SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY FOR HISTORICAL INTERPRETATIONS OF THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION IN BRITAIN Gerard M Koot History Department University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Allen, Robert C., The British Industrial Revolution in a Global Perspective, New York: Cambridge University Press, 2009. Pp. viii, 331. Allen’s book is an excellent example of the persuasiveness of the new economic history. It is solidly rooted in statistical data and uses sophisticated methods of economic analysis but its analysis is presented in plain English. He argues that the first industrial revolution occurred in northwestern Europe because its high wages during the early modern period encouraged technological innovation. Although high wages were initially a consequence of the demographic disaster of the Black Death, they were reinforced during the early modern period by the economic success of the region around the North Sea, first, in European trade and manufacturing, especially in wresting the textile industry from the Italians, and then in world trade. According to Allen, the first industrial revolution took place in Britain instead of the Low Countries primarily because of Britain’s abundant and cheap coal resources, combined with the central government’s ability to use mercantilist policies and naval power to reap the greatest benefits from an expanding European and world trade. Once it had taken the lead from the Dutch, and defeated the French, Britain used its comparative advantage...
