ABSTRACT In the world of mechanical spill response, success stories are limited. The case of the F/V Windy Bay is an exception and much has been learned from the experience. On August 4, 2001, the fishing vessel Windy Bay hit a charted rock near Olsen Island in Prince William Sound, Alaska. The vessel carried 35,000 gallons of diesel fuel and sank quickly with no loss of life. A response was initiated, led by the USCG, with input from the owner, their response contractor, Chadux, and the contractor for the USCG, Alyeska/SERVS. The response lasted 20 days and involved 192 personnel, 20 spill response trained fishing vessels, the Valdez Star, and the CurrentBuster™ nearshore recovery system. By day six, over 12,000 gallons had been recovered and 19,500 gallons had evaporated or naturally dispersed. The mechanical response was very successful. The response also included major programs for protecting sensitive resources, informing the public and stakeholders, issue management, wildlife response programs and evaluations, decontamination, and waste management programs.

Лов рыбы с применением кошельковых неводов является наиболее распространенным в мире после тралового лова. Процессы кошелькования невода, выборки улова могут существенно влиять на остойчивость рыболовного судна (сейнера). В данной работе рассматривается влияние на угол крена силы, действующие со стороны орудия лова. Приведен алгоритм расчета, учитывающий координаты точки приложения силы натяжения троса, идущего к орудию лова, углы наклона троса, величину силы. Составлены расчетные зависимости для процессов крена, получены выражения для угла наклона корпуса судна. Приведены примеры расчетов. В частности, рассмотрено изменение угла крена от тягового усилия, высоты подъема канифас-блока для промыслового судна. Проведенные расчеты свидетельствуют о достаточной для инженерных расчетов точности и возможности использовать приведенный алгоритм при оценочных расчетах на различных стадиях проектирования. Важно учитывать возможность одновременного наложения ветровых нагрузок, действия волн на корпус судна. В этих случаях крен и дифферент будут возрастать. Поэтому спецификой промысловых судов является необходимость учета поведения судна при проведении промысловых операций. Fishing with the use of purse seines is the most common in the world after trawl fishing. The processes of pursing and seine sampling can significantly affect the stability of a fishing vessel (seiner). In this paper, the influence of forces acting from the fishing gear on the roll angle is considered. The calculation algorithm is given, taking into account the coordinates of the point of application of the tension force of the cable going to the fishing gear, the angles of inclination of the cable, the magnitude of the force. Calculated dependences for roll processes are compiled, expressions for the angle of inclination of the vessel's hull are obtained. Examples of calculations are given. In particular, the change in the roll angle from the traction force, the lifting height of the snatch–block for a fishing vessel is considered. The calculations carried out indicate sufficient accuracy for engineering calculations and the possibility of using the above algorithm for evaluation calculations at various stages of design. It is important to take into account the possibility of simultaneous imposition of wind loads, the action of waves on the hull of the vessel. In these cases, the roll and trim will increase. Therefore, the specifics of fishing vessels is the need to take into account the behavior of the vessel during fishing operations.

Nowadays, Spain is the world-wide leadership in High Speed Railways being the most vast in Europe and the second in the world. Other countries like Norway and USA, put their eyes in Spain and the technology developed by the Spanish Administrator in charge of the public Railways Infrastructure (ADIF). This leadership has allowed ADIF to be selected, for instance, into the builders the corridor from Medina to Meca. This paper describes the work carried out during more than fifteen years by the CALPE team, a multidisciplinary research group of civil engineers and computer scientist and ADIF. As a result of this intensive collaboration, two success tools allow ADIF to be competitive. Those tools are called CALPE and InDiCa. In this paper, CALPE and InDiCA are introduced from the beginning of the collaboration till the latest versions: history, mechanical functionalities, computing issues, etc.

This essay draws attention to the surprising lack of scholarship on the staging of garden scenes in Shakespeare's oeuvre. In particular, it explores how garden scenes promote collaborative acts of audience agency and present new renditions of the familiar early modern contrast between the public and the private. Too often the mention of Shakespeare's gardens calls to mind literal rather than literary interpretations: the work of garden enthusiasts like Henry Ellacombe, Eleanour Sinclair Rohde, and Caroline Spurgeon, who present their copious gatherings of plant and flower references as proof that Shakespeare was a garden lover, or the many “Shakespeare Gardens” around the world, bringing to life such lists of plant references. This essay instead seeks to locate Shakespeare's garden imagery within a literary tradition more complex than these literalizations of Shakespeare's “flowers” would suggest. To stage a garden during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries signified much more than a personal affinity for the green world; it served as a way of engaging time-honored literary comparisons between poetic forms, methods of audience interaction, and types of media. Through its metaphoric evocation of the commonplace tradition, in which flowers double as textual cuttings to be picked, revised, judged, and displayed, the staged garden offered a way to dramatize the tensions produced by creative practices involving collaborative composition and audience agency.

In Vitruvius’ treatise, what makes good architecture is its ability to communicate to the public particular messages that reflects the program of the building with spaces and components arranged in an orderly way. According to Vitruvius these messages when acknowledges by the public the building posses strong character. This research discusses this idea by reflecting on the 1895 competition of the Egyptian Museum project. Marcel Dourgnon, the French architect of the winning scheme, showed profound understanding of character resulting in a building that had positive vibe with the local community.  Today Vitruvius’ idea is still living with us. Norman Foster succeeded in upgrading the British Museum in a way that addressed all cultures of the world through his grand atrium design.  Similarly, Emad Farid and Ramez Azmy revived the presence of the Egyptian Museum in public cognition.  Spatial experience that evokes similar perceptions to all its visitors is a timeless piece that transcends cultural boundaries.

Conceptual Foundations

The main content of the work consists of certain systematization and addition of longexisting, but eventually deformed and partly lost qualitative ideas about the role of thermal and wind factors that determine the physical mechanism of the World Ocean’s General Circulation System (OGCS). It is noted that the conceptual foundations of the theory of the OGCS in one form or another are contained in the works of many well-known hydrophysicists of the last century, but the aggregate, logically coherent description of the key factors determining the physical model of the OGCS in the public literature is not so easy to find. An attempt is made to clarify and concretize some general ideas about the two key blocks that form the basis of an adequate physical model of the system of oceanic water masses motion in a climatic scale. Attention is drawn to the fact that when analyzing the OGCS it is necessary to take into account not only immediate but also indirect effects of thermal and wind factors on the ocean surface. In conclusion, it is noted that, in the end, by the uneven flow of heat to the surface of the ocean can be explained the nature of both external and almost all internal factors, in one way or another contributing to the excitation of the general, or climatic, ocean circulation.

Global Influence

In today’s world, it is easier and easier to stay connected with people who are halfway across the world. Social media and a globalizing economy have created new methods of business, trade and socialization resulting in vast amounts of communication and effecting global commerce. Like her or hate her, Kimberly Noel Kardashian West as known as Kim Kardashian has capitalized on social media platforms and the globalizing economy. Kim is known for two things: famous for doing nothing and infamous for a sex tape. But Kim has not let those things define her. With over 105 million Instagram followers and 57 million Twitter followers, Kim has become a major global influence. Kim has travelled around the world, utilizing the success she has had on social media to teach make-up master classes with professional make-up artist, Mario Dedivanovic. She owns or has licensed several different businesses including: an emoji app, a personal app, a gaming app, a cosmetics line, and a fragrance line. Not to be forgotten, the Kardashian family show, ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ has been on the air for ten years with Kim at the forefront. Kim also has three books: ‘Kardashian Konfidential’, ‘Dollhouse’, and ‘Selfish’. With her rising social media following, Kim has used the platforms to show her support for politicians and causes, particularly, recognition of the Armenian genocide. Kim also recently spoke at the Forbes’ women’s summit. Following the summit, Kim tweeted out her support for a recent movement on Twitter, #freeCyntoiaBrown which advocated for a young woman who claimed to have shot and killed the man who held her captive as a teenage sex slave in self-defense. Kim had her own personal lawyers help out Cyntoia on her case. Kim has also moved beyond advocating for issues within the confines of the United States. As mentioned earlier, she is known for advocating for recognition of the Armenian genocide. In the last two years, her show has made it a point to address the Armenian situation as it was then and as it is now. Kim has been recognized as a global influencer by others across the wordl. We believe Kim has become the same as political leaders when it comes to influencing the public. Kim’s story reveals that the new reality creates a perfect opportunity for mass disturbances or for initiating mass support or mass disapproval. Although Kim is typically viewed for her significance to pop culture, Kim’s business and social media following have placed her deep into the mix of international commerce. As her businesses continue to grow and thrive, we may see more of her influence on international issues and an increase in the commerce from which her businesses benefit.

The world is in a state of profound changes. One of the most likely forms of the future world pattern is polycentrism. At the stage of the formation of a new world order, it is very important to identify its key properties, identify the challenges associated with them and offer the public possible answers to them. It is proposed to consider conflictness, uncertainty and other features as properties of polycentrism. These properties entail certain challenges, the answers to them could be flexibility of diplomacy, development of international leadership and others.
