![]() The first fifty were organized from civilian institutions (medical schools, large hospitals, or consortia of small civil hospitals), but the rest were organized from the ‘Army at large’. Surgical Ward, Base Hospital 26, Allery, Saône-et-LoireBase hospitals were designed to have a substantial medical staff, with a balanced surgical staff able to treat all kinds of patients. In crises they were expanded up to 2,500 beds, although most of the extra space was for recovering patients who would be moved to convalescent camps when those were organized. With a few more nurses and enlisted men, and more equipment, the capacity could be doubled to 1,000 beds. Before the war the base hospitals were planned to be 500 beds, but that turned out to be inefficient. Some base hospitals were in the Advanced Section, and occasionally were used as evacuation hospitals (especially during the Meuse-Argonne fighting) but the majority of units were well in the rear.Īs the build-up in France continued, base hospitals expanded in size from 500 beds up to 1000 beds or more. But there were inevitably long-term patients from the rear areas, and those casualties had to have somewhere to recover. Camp hospitals were for short-term problems in the rear areas, and the casualty treatment system was designed to move patients to the rear. And it made more sense to locate the hospital centers in the countryside, where rail lines could be hastily constructed, than in cities where patients would have to be moved about by motor ambulance to the various buildings converted into hospitals.ĭelivery of Medical Care off of the battlefield Base Hospitalsīase hospitals were the key facilities for patient treatment and recovery. No one base hospital could handle the arrival of a trainload of patients with varied needs, while a 20,000-bed hospital center could readily take a train or two per day. In the communications zone (rear area), hospital trains carrying hundreds of patients made it efficient to group base hospitals into hospital centers. H ospital trains drove some of the decisions about hospitals. In the combat zone, evacuation hospitals were usually located near rail lines: it was very inefficient to use motor ambulances to shuttle patients any distance to a hospital train. Purpose-built hospital trains had double-doors so litters could easily be carried on. ![]() The pharmacy car had a small operating room with limited equipment, but while it was a capability, the space was more often used to change bandages than perform even minor operations. The exact mix of sitting and recumbent patients could be changed by fastening various middle beds so more or fewer men would be sitting, and in crises up to 600 patients could be moved by a single train. The normal capacity was 360 beds, but if the train staff gave up their beds another 36 patients could be accommodated. The standard train was supposed to be 16 cars:ġ car for infectious cases, 24 beds (one end used for caboose) ġ kitchen and sick officers' (sitting) car, 3 beds for cooks, 20 seats ġ kitchen, men's mess car, caboose, 2 beds for noncommissioned officers A limited number could be bought, but when major battles loomed more had to be borrowed. Rather than ship rail cars to France, the US planned to purchase (or rent) hospital trains from the British and French. That was true even when the people were patients, and it made far more sense to use hospital trains (which should have been termed ambulance trains) to carry hundreds of patients instead of using scores of motor ambulances each carrying 4-6 patients. There were automobiles in WWI, but railroads were still the way to move large quantities of people. How was it organized to transport and care for 20,000 to 40,000 patients each month?ĭelivery of Medical Care off of the battlefield Hospital Trains The American Expeditionary Force sustained 200,000 casualties during the six to eight months in which it saw heavy combat. Over a campaign, hundreds of thousands of men will have to be moved from collecting areas near the front lines back to specialty hospitals and hospital centers capable of dealing with patients arriving literally by the trainload. A major battle might generate several thousand casualties within a division, tens of thousands within an entire army. But back in the rear area, in what is now called the communications zone, casualties begin to take on an aspect of mass movement. The focus is still on the individual soldier who is injured. True, a field hospital might have to deal with 10 or 20 at a time, or even more. Within the battle area, the combat zone, patients are moved individually, or a few at a time. Casualties on the battlefield are moved to medical care one by one. ![]() How much they cost will depend on the developer. They’re part of the Game Pass exclusive to a specific game you’re playing. Unlike the Boombox, Radios aren’t free and you have to pay for them. This is the most common way people play music in Roblox. The other method is by inserting music codes via radios. Once you find one, input the Roblox Music Code and the song will start playing. You can either use your own Boombox or find access to another Boombox someone else owns. Some games however, do not immediately offer a Boombox and you might have to do some searching before you can get your hands on one. This method of doing so is free for most Roblox games. The simplest way to use music codes in Roblox is by equipping a Boombox and inputting the song ID. The first method is free, but the second one is something you have to pay for depending on the game type. These two methods can be used to play Roblox Music Codes and Song IDs.

What do I do? 10 While users were left wondering what has happened, the value of NEM has dropped along with the value of other coins. The company is also criticized for failing to clarify the issue. On the handling of the issueĬoincheck took a considerable amount of time to notice the lost amount and it did not have a precise answer as to why. However, given the lack of multi-signature, the presence of hot wallets, anyone can pretty much guess why Coincheck is targeted. The company also was not sure why it was targeted. NEM is identifying + flagging suspected wallets holding the stolen funds + sending info to exchanges. NEM + Coincheck are working together to track + flag the hacked wallets + related accounts with the objective of tracing the ultimate owners of the suspected wallets. Update: 1:51 am JST, NEM released a statement that is working with Coincheck to track the movement of the stolen NEM tokens. However, it was revealed that Coincheck already traced the movement of the lost coins and would try to get it back. Details of what else are discussed between Coincheck and NEM are not yet public. Initially, Coincheck requested the NEM Foundation if it could do a hard fork. This is worth around $530 million, making it the biggest hacking incident in cryptocurrency, bigger than Mt. What about the lost XEMs?Īpproximately 500 million NEM coins are lost due to the hacking incident. When pressed further, they said they couldn’t build with the current number of people in their engineering team.

When Wormy tells Owly, “It’s very sunny today!” his text is accompanied by a picture of a beaming sun. Runton also includes pictorial “translations” of the characters’ words that keep the tales accessible to all readers. “It was really special to me to have that self-esteem boost built into the book, because that’s what I wanted as a kid.” ![]() He was a struggling reader growing up, and he has always wanted to write stories that all kids, no matter their ability, could understand. “A lot of people relate to the fact that he doesn’t speak, or he has trouble speaking, or however they see it,” says Runton, who had personal reasons for preserving Owly’s speech patterns. ![]() Raccoon, and the other forest denizens speak in words, Owly still communicates with pictures-something that has long resonated with readers, including the Deaf community. There’s not a lot of room in a speech bubble.” His years of visiting schools, where he interpreted what characters were saying as he “read” the books aloud, came in handy. “Sometimes using a symbol is a lot easier than writing a succinct four-word sentence. So he crafted dialogue, which at times was challenging. But that choice felt distancing, as though readers were outside the story. When Runton started working on The Way Home, he included narration but no dialogue. Graphix editor Megan Peace says, “While adding color to the series was something we were excited about, adding words was a different story-it made us nervous, as fans have loved the wordlessness of Owly.” And though the original stories were wordless, with characters communicating in symbols and pictures, they now have text. The books are now in full color-which Top Shelf, a smaller indie press, didn’t have the budget for. Other installments will follow, and Runton has plans for a new tale. The Way Home (first published as The Way Home & the Bittersweet Summer) was released earlier this month. And the messages of kindness and helping others are needed now more than ever.” “The books have such heart: Reading them simply makes you feel good. “It turned out that his son was a huge fan, and he believed there was still a place for Owly,” Runton says.ĭavid Saylor, vice president and publisher of Graphix, had always loved Owly, too. “They felt that ship had sailed,” he says.īut a few people still believed in the books, among them Barry Goldblatt, who became Runton’s agent and helped bring the series to Scholastic's Graphix imprint. Then he was met with a spate of rejections from agents and publishers. He originally published the books with Top Shelf Productions but left, hoping to expand the series’s reach. Fans will be pleased to see the return of these gentle stories that center on a big-eyed, expressive bird who’s always ready to lend a hand to those in need. After years of languishing in out-of-print limbo, Andy Runton’s “Owly” graphic novels have finally found a new home-at Scholastic. In Europe, most plasterboard is made in sheets 120 centimetres (47 in) wide sheets 60 and 90 centimetres (24 and 35 in) wide are also made. Common thicknesses are 1⁄ 2 and 5⁄ 8 inch (13 and 16 mm) thicknesses of 1⁄ 4, 3⁄ 8, 3⁄ 4, and 1 inch (6.4, 9.5, 19.1, and 25.4 mm) are used in specific applications. Lengths up to 16 feet (4.9 m) are common the most common is 8 feet (2.4 m). The most common width is 48 inches (1.2 m). Canada and the United States ĭrywall panels in the United States are made in widths of 48, 54, and 96 inches (1.2, 1.4, and 2.4 m) and in varying lengths to suit the application. In both countries, plasterboard has become a widely used replacement for scrim and sarking walls in the renovation of 19th- and early 20th-century buildings. Sheets are usually secured to either timber or cold-formed steel frames anywhere from 150 to 300 mm centres along the beam and 400 to 600 mm across members. It is made in thicknesses of 10 mm, 13 mm, and 16 mm, and sometimes other thicknesses up to 25 mm. In New Zealand it is also called Gibraltar and Gib board, after the registered trademark ("GIB") of the locally made product that dominates the market there. In Australia, the product is often called Gyprock, which is the name of the largest manufacturer of plasterboard. The term plasterboard is used in Australia and New Zealand. Specifications Australia and New Zealand In 2020, 8.4 billion square meters of drywall were sold around the world. This is commonly used in drywall construction in the United States and elsewhere. The sulfur is absorbed by powdered limestone in a process called flue-gas desulfurization (FGD), which produces a number of new substances. Coal-fired power stations include devices called scrubbers to remove sulfur from their exhaust emissions. Organic dispersants and plasticisers are used so that the slurry will flow during manufacture, and to reduce the water and hence the drying time. When the core sets it is then dried in a large drying chamber, and the sandwich becomes rigid and strong enough for use as a building material.ĭrying chambers typically use natural gas today. The board is then formed by sandwiching a core of the wet mixture between two sheets of heavy paper or fibreglass mats. The plaster is mixed with fibre (typically paper and/or glass fiber), plasticizer, foaming agent, finely ground gypsum crystal as an accelerator, EDTA, starch or other chelate as a retarder, various additives that may decrease mildew and increase fire resistance, and wax emulsion or silanes for lower water absorption. The raw gypsum, CaSO 4♲H 2O, is heated to drive off the water then slightly rehydrated to produce the hemihydrate of calcium sulfate ( CaSOĢO). Manufacture Ī wallboard panel consists of a layer of gypsum plaster sandwiched between two layers of paper. ![]() In 2002 the European Commission imposed fines totaling €420 million on the companies Lafarge, BPB, Knauf and Gyproc Benelux, which had operated a cartel on the market which affected 80% of consumers in France, the UK, Germany and the Benelux countries. Vertically hung drywall with joint compound In 1936 US Gypsum trademarked ROCKLATH for their gypsum lath product. As it evolved, it was faced with paper impregnated with gypsum crystals that bonded with the applied facing layer of plaster. An alternative to traditional wood or metal lath, it was a panel made up of compressed gypsum plaster board that was sometimes grooved or punched with holes to allow wet plaster to key into its surface. ![]() Gypsum lath was an early substrate for plaster. Later air entrainment technology made boards lighter and less brittle, and joint treatment materials and systems also evolved. Providing efficiency of installation, it was developed additionally as a measure of fire resistance. In 1910 United States Gypsum Corporation bought Sackett Plaster Board Company and by 1917 introduced Sheetrock. Gypsum board evolved between 19 beginning with wrapped board edges and elimination of the two inner layers of felt paper in favor of paper-based facings. ![]() Sheets were 36 by 36 by 1⁄ 4 inch (914 mm × 914 mm × 6 mm) thick with open (untaped) edges. It was made by layering plaster within four plies of wool felt paper. Sackett Board was invented in 1894 by Augustine Sackett and Fred Kane, graduates of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The first plasterboard plant in the UK was opened in 1888 in Rochester, Kent.
![]() Most people have enough difficulty obtaining the high notes they are satisfied merely with reaching them and usually end up sacrificing expression in the attempt. In fact, it seems to have the opposite effect. Yet, unlike others, when he forges up into the higher altitudes of his scale the quality of his vocal expression doesn’t change. His vocal range is equally impressive as he ranges from a forceful alto right up to almost falsetto on occasion. Pictures of him on stage show him sitting in the centre of a construct literally bristling with instruments: a row of yidakis in the front, top hat snares off to each side, stomp box and bass drum pedals at his feet, and assorted percussion scattered around within easy reach. Not only does he play all these instruments, but when he appears in concert he is set up so he can be playing as many as possible as once. I could tell you that Rudd is an extraordinary multi-instrumentalist who plays slide guitar, regular guitar, percussion, drums, and the indigenous Australian instrument the yidakis (referred to as didgeridoo by Europeans). I’ve been listening to a downloaded copy of his latest release, Spirit Bird, coming out on Side One Dummy records June 5 2012, for about a week now and I still haven’t been able to figure out how to put into words the effect the CD has on me. The problem is Rudd is one of the few musical artists around these days who I react to on a purely emotional level. ![]() While that’s a lot shorter than my reviews tend to run (and according to some that’s a positive) it doesn’t really tell you much about him, his music, or why I think he’s so great. However, for some reason when it comes to Xavier Rudd, all I can ever come up with is “holy shit, this guy is fucking awesome”. Normally I find a way to list the reasons I like someone’s work without crossing over the line so the review becomes a fan letter. Ask me how I feel about the music industry in general or some of the so called celebrities/singers who somehow are referred to as artists and watch me go. Well, I can be as nasty as the next person. It’s cool to think critics hate music and only exist to run down your favourites or to say nasty things about people you like. I know that sounds like a stretch to some of you. You start gushing all over the page about how damn amazing somebody is and nobody is going take your review seriously, it will dismissed as the ravings of some fan. ![]() However the difficulty comes when you come across somebody who won’t let you be objective. After a few years of doing this you get so it becomes almost rote. You look at a group or person’s work within the context of the genre they work in and ask yourself how they stack up against others like them.
