List of rules of inference. The normal inference

This is a list of rules of inference.


Introduction

Rules of inference are syntactical transformation rules which one can use to infer a conclusion from a premise to create an argument. A set of rules can be used to infer any valid conclusion if it is complete, while never inferring an invalid conclusion, if it is sound. A sound and complete set of rules need not include every rule in the following list, as many of the rules are redundant, and can be proven with the other rules.

Discharge rules permit inference from a subderivation based on a temporary assumption. Below, the notation

<math>\varphi \vdash \psi\,\!</math>

indicates such a subderivation from the temporary assumption <math>\varphi\,\!</math> to <math>\psi\,\!</math>.

Road accident statistics on a model-by-model basis. collisions.

By admin
No Comments
Uncategorized

Although various ‘theoretical’ crash testing scenarios are popular in assessing car safety in UK the Department of Transport publish the actual level of road deaths in two car injury accidents in each type of car. These statistics are available tabulated in the form of the “Cars: Make and Model: The Risk of Driver Injury in Great Britain” reports for 2003 and 2005, which are available from the link below:

http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/statistics/datatablespublications/vehicles/carsmmrisk/

The report does not address issues of
active safety or statistics of mortality and injuries in single vehicle accidents (for instance, rollover).

Overall these statistics show a ten to one ratio of in-vehicle accident deaths between the least safe and most safe models of car.

The statistics show that for popular, lightly built cars occupants have a 6%-8% chance of death in a two car accident.
(e.g. BMW 3 series 6%, Subaru Impreza 8%, Honda Accord 6%). Traditional “safety cars” such as the Volvos halve that chance (Volvo 700 4% incidence of death, Volvo 900 3%).

Despite poor performance in theoretical tests and criticism from media pundits SUVs fare much better than ’safety cars’ with the Jeep Cherokee and Toyota Land Cruiser giving 2% incidence of occupant death in actual two vehicle injury crashes. However, in multiple-vehicle crashes SUVs are probably between three (Bicycle Safety Almanac) and six (International Injury & Fatality Statistics) times more likely to kill the occupant of the other vehicle (car, cyclist, or pedestrian) than cars.

Overall the four best vehicles to be in are the Jaguar XJ series 1%, Mercedes-Benz S-Class / SEC 1%, Land Rover Defender 1% and Land Rover Discovery 1%.

Motorcyclist deaths within the England and Wales stand at 65% of the annual road death statistics, however scooters/mopeds up to 50cc only account to 3% of those deaths. Scooter/moped deaths where also founded that 2% of the scooter deaths were 17-19 year olds who had not taken the CBT (Compulsory Basic Training)

These statistics taken alone are incomplete. They do not take into account the demographics of drivers. The BMW 3 series and Subaru Impreza were both marketed as “performance cars” and more likely to be driven by young males, who were more likely as drivers to be involved (high speed) collisions. In contrast the Volvos were marketed as “safe” vehicles, bought and defensively driven by drivers with families. Similarly, neither Land Rovers were designed to be driven fast; speed being a major contributing factor to the seriousness of collisions. Therefore these are not straightforward guidance on which cars are “safe”.

It is important to note that these statistics relate to DRIVER deaths or injuries, not to passenger or pedestrian deaths or injuries.

Allentown Art Festival is an annual arts festival held in the Allentown neighborhood of Buffalo, New York. Each June, this collective weekend sidewalk art display attracts tens of thousands of pedestrians to Buffalo. In 2007, it will celebrate its 50th anniversary.

Controversy has surrounded the festival in recent years. Organizers were engaged in a long and public dispute with local merchants, ultimately barring them from displaying merchandise in front of stores during festival hours.

In 2007 the Music is Art festival, a charity event founded by Goo Goo Dolls member Robby Takac was successfully prevented from operating on adjoining streets by festival organizers as it had the previous three years.

By admin
No Comments
Uncategorized

A rumble seat, dicky seat, dickie seat or dickey seat is an upholstered exterior seat which hinges or otherwise opens out from the rear deck of a pre-World War II automobile, and seats one or more passengers. Roadster, Coupe and Cabriolet body styles were offered with either a luggage compartment or a rumble seat in the deck. Models equipped with a rumble seat were often referred to as a sport coupe or sport roadster.

In America, this type of seating became largely obsolete in the mid-1930s when cars became too fast and streamlined for the comfort of passengers in such a seat. Rumble seat passengers were essentially seated out in the elements, and received little or no protection from the regular passenger compartment top. Folding tops and side curtains for rumble seats were available for some cars (including the Ford Model A) but never achieved much popularity.

Prior to World War I, a single, center-mounted rumble seat was sometimes referred to as a mother-in-law seat.

“Numb/Encore” is a song by the rock band Linkin Park and rapper Jay-Z from their 2004 mash-up album Collision Course.

It was also released as a single that year, combining the Jay-Z song “Encore” (taken from his 2003 album The Black Album) and the Linkin Park song “Numb” (taken from their 2003 album Meteora).
In the UK Singles Chart, the single broke the record by staying the longest in the top 20 without ever reaching the top 10. The video for the mash-up was nominated for the MTV VMA Viewer’s Choice award in late July 2005. “Numb/Encore” won Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at the Grammy Awards of 2006. The show featured a performance of the song, during which Paul McCartney made a surprise appearance and came onto the stage to perform a duet with Chester Bennington of The Beatles’ song “Yesterday,” which McCartney wrote. “Yesterday” replaced “Numb” after the first rap verse of the mash-up.

  • Note: The vinyl record contains a “Parental Advisory” sticker.
  • Note: The CD Single does not officially contain a “Parental Advisory” sticker, in Europe it occasionally has the sticker, placed upon the cd at the whim of the store (e.g. the Woolworths copy did have the sticker, but the Sainsbury’s copy did not) and some European imports to the U.S. contain a “Parental Advisory” sticker.

Justice Peter Thomas Mahon (1923-1986) was a New Zealand Queen’s Counsel, best known for his Commission of Inquiry into the Mt. Erebus Disaster. His son, Sam Mahon is a well known artist.

Mahon was junior counsel for the prosecution in the Parker-Hulme murder case in 1954.

After the crash of Air New Zealand Flight 901 with loss of all aboard on 28 November 1979, an accident report was released by the chief inspector of air accidents, Ron Chippindale, which cited pilot error as the chief cause of the accident. Public demand led to the formation of a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the accident, consisting solely of Mahon. He produced his report on 27 April 1981, which cleared the crew of blame for the disaster and found that the major cause was the reprogramming of the aircraft’s navigation computer without the crew being notified. Mahon controversially claimed that Air New Zealand executives engaged in a conspiracy to whitewash the inquiry, covering up evidence and lying to investigators, famously accusing them of “an orchestrated litany of lies”. His report, Verdict on Erebus, won the New Zealand Book Awards prize for non fiction in 1985.

In 1983 the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council upheld Mahon’s findings as to the cause of the accident - reprogramming of the aircraft’s flight plan by the ground crew who then failed to inform the flight crew. The Board held that Mahon had acted in excess of his jurisdiction and in breach of natural justice by going on to make findings of a conspiracy by Air New Zealand to cover up the errors of the ground staff.

Notorious Thugs. notorious for these

“Notorious Thugs” is a song off The Notorious B.I.G.’s second album, Life After Death.

The song was never released as a single, likely due to the song’s dark nature, but garnered much radio airplay nonetheless and remains a favorite of fans of both The Notorious B.I.G. and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony members Bizzy Bone, Krayzie Bone, and Layzie Bone contributed to the song.

In 2005, Notorious Thugs was mixed into “Spit Your Game”, a song from Biggie’s final album, Duets: The Final Chapter. This newer version features Twista and Krayzie Bone.

This song is also noteworthy because for this song, The Notorious B.I.G. changed his normally smooth, easy flow to a high speed melodic flow similar to that the Bone Thugs are known for.

The song was included in The Notorious B.I.G.’s Greatest Hits and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony’s Greatest Hits .

The Dodge EPIC was a concept car created by Chrysler Corporation under its brand Dodge. The EPIC was first shown at the 1992 North American International Auto Show. EPIC stands for Electric Power Inter-urban Commuter. It was the first hybrid minivan.


Engine and Design

The EPIC uses an I4 engine which is powered by an emission-free powertrain. The powertrain features nickel iron batteries that can give up to 120 miles on only one charge. The EPIC uses a four-gear automatic transmission. The design was at the time more futuristic. Unlike any other minivan, the EPIC had the modern oval-shaped body, this style was inspiration for the design of the third generation of the Chrysler Minivans. This vehicle was also one of the first signs of the hybrid vehicles.

This vehicle has been seen in the 1994 NBC TV series “Viper”

Right-in/right-out. the roadway. This

By admin
No Comments
Uncategorized

The phrases Right-in/right-out (RIRO) or left-in/left-out (LILO) refer to a type of roadway intersection where in the minor street approach’s ingress and egress are both restricted. The restrictions employed are just as the name implies: a RIRO prohibits vehicles from entering the intersection via any movement other than a right-turn; and a LILO only permits a left-turn entry. To exit, RIRO prohibits through or left-turns out; and LILOs only allow for left-turns.

The restrictions are typically enforced through geometric provisions such as a concrete island to direct vehicles into the right or left turns, as applicable; and to restrict vehicles from traveling through the intersection. The major roadway itself often has a median separating the two directions of mainline traffic. In situations where a median is not present along the mainline, RIRO and LILO configurations have been found to result in significant violation rates — despite the geometric indications of the concrete island or any regulatory signing.

Typically, the use of a RIRO is prevalent in areas where vehicles drive on the right side of the roadway, and similarly LILO is most prevalent in areas where vehicles keep left. This is a result of how access points to minor streets are often on the outside of a roadway. However, both RIRO and LILO intersections exist along right-hand drive and left-hand drive roadways, particularly along bifurcated one-way roadways.

RIRO and LILO configurations generally improve the safety and efficiency of an intersection by reducing the number of conflict points between vehicles. However, motorists who wish ingress or egress a RIRO or LILO via a restricted maneuver must often use alternate locations to perform a U-turn maneuver so that they may travel in their intended direction. As a result, RIRO and LILO configurations may improve the safety and operations of an intersection while consequently worsening those very concerns at another intersection upstream or downstream.


Examples

The following routes, or stretches thereof, have only RIRO or LILO intersections along their length. They may also have grade-separated interchanges, but travellers on these roads need neither yield the right-of-way to other motorists entering the roadway, nor encounter cross traffic.

  • In Canada, Highway 35/Highway 115 and parts of Highway 11 just north of Barrie, and between Bracebridge and Huntsville in Ontario have RIRO access in various sections. There are no breaks in the median, and to turn around one must exit the highway at an interchange or special turn-around ramp and re-enter the highway in the opposite direction. (The RIRO sections on Highway 11 are expected to be upgraded to a full freeway in the future.)
  • In the United States:
    • Many roads in New Jersey, including parts of U.S. Route 9 and Route 17, have RIRO access.
    • Ocean Parkway on Long Island in New York is primarily a RIRO-access road.
    • U.S. Route 90 Alternate (South Main) in Houston, Texas has property access on one side of the median, but all crossings are grade separated, with access to the roadway provided only by interchanges.
  • The Bend Parkway north of the Powers Road intersection, has RIRO access.
  • The first exit on the Delaware Route 1 Turnpike between Dover and Wilmington is a RIRO dedicated for commercial traffic accessing the Dover Air Force Base. Southbound commercial traffic wishing to access Dover A.F.B. must make a U-Turn in Little Heaven, seven miles south of the RIRO exit.
  • In Hong Kong
    • Much of the portion of Route 1 between the Cross-Harbour Tunnel and the Lion Rock Tunnel.
    • Tuen Mun Road through the central part of Tuen Mun New Town
    • Connaught Road on Hong Kong Island.
    • Portions of Prince Edward Road between Mong Kok and the old Kai Tak Airport

Fearless Fosdick. bystanders

By admin
No Comments
Uncategorized

Fearless Fosdick is a police officer who is the hero of the Li’l Abner character in Al Capp’s Li’l Abner comic strip which appeared from 1934 to 1977. Fosdick was therefore the main character of a comic strip within a comic strip.

Fosdick was inspired by Dick Tracy, a similarly unflappable comic strip hero-cop and plain clothes detective. The strip-within-a-strip at times added much humor as when Abner mindlessly aped his role model (even styling his hair similarly by using the product Fosdick endorsed).

Chester Gould, creator of Dick Tracy, reportedly did not find Capp’s work particularly funny. This was not surprising, since Fosdick was not very bright and behaved like a complete fool. He would regularly shoot innocent bystanders and apprehend the wrong individuals while the real criminals went free. Gould also was probably not enamored of his own unflattering portrayal in the character of Fosdick’s creator, the mentally deranged cartoonist “Lester Gooch.” However, Max Allan Collins, who took over the helm of Dick Tracy from Gould, thoroughly enjoyed Fosdick and even wrote a foreword to a recently-published collection of Fosdick cartoons.

Typical Fosdick logic occurs in “The Case of the Poisoned Beans,” in which the ever-vigilant detective goes about town shooting everyone he sees eating “Old Faithful”-brand beans in an attempt to prevent them from consuming a poisoned can he knows to exist.

Among Fearless Fosdick’s appearances in Li’l Abner are:

  • Sept. 7, 1942
  • Nov. 29, 1942
  • May 30, 1943, featuring Bomb Face.
  • June 6, 1943
  • June 13, 1943, featuring Stone Face, a comic character who torments Fosdick cartoonist Lester Gooch.
  • June 20, 1943
  • June 27, 1943
  • June 15, 1944
  • June 19, 1944, rejecting the romantic advances of Countess Wolfina.
  • June 27, 1944
  • June 27, 1946
  • July 27, 1946
  • April 24, 1947
  • May 2, 1947
  • May 10, 1947
  • June 22, 1950

The strip satirically referred to other enemies of Fosdick as Banana Face, Spinach Face and Hamburger Face. Other nemeses of Fosdick include the Atom Bum (a vagrant loaded with plutonium and thus deadly if he is jarred), a murderous Chippendale Chair (Fosdick admonished him, “You’re going to get the chair, Chair!”), and even his own parrot Sidney. His ultimate foe was “Anyface”, who was a parody of Plastic Man.

Despite the fact that “Fearless Fosdick” was a fictional character from a fictional comic strip, the character was popular enough to be incorporated into a short-lived TV puppet show in 1952 [1], and was licensed for use in an advertising campaign for Wildroot Cream Oil hair tonic.

    The band featured Curiel on guitar, Pete Stewart (Grammatrain, Tait) with the vocals, Tony Delocht on bass, and Ernie Longoria on drums (both from Sprung Monkey).

    The band’s first EP, Arena, was released in 2003. In 2005, the band signed to indie label Rock Ridge Music, and their first full-length album,United We Fear, was released May 9, 2006. A video has been shot and released for the first single Sick Love Letter.

    Curiel and Longoria began jamming and they solidly evolved into a steady rock act opening to Foo Fighters, Drowning Pool, Staind, and other known bands.

    In December 2006, Curiel re-joined P.O.D. and The Accident Experiment went on hiatus. Their Arena EP was re-released by Rock Ridge Music on May 8, 2007. The EP included some new songs by the group. There has been talk of the band getting back in the studio sometime in 08.

Pécrot rail crash. accident

The Pécrot rail crash was a rail accident in Belgium. It occurred on March 27, 2001.


Timeline of events

  • 8:41 - In Wavre station, a signalman noticed an empty passenger train departing from track 4 towards Leuven, against a red signal.
  • 8:42 - The Wavre signalman contacted the Leuven signalman, to inform him about the train. However, the Wavre signalman spoke French while the Leuven signalman spoke Flemish, so the Leuven signalman did not understand the message fully.
  • 8:43 - The Wavre signalman tried to have the overhead wire current cut off on the erroneously departed train’s track. However, that could not be done from Wavre. The signalman therefore contacted a controller in Brussels about the problem.
  • 8:46 - The Brussels controller tried to contact the driver of the train, but was unable to reach him. The Brussels controller also tried to contact the driver of a passenger train that had just departed from Leuven towards Wavre, traveling on the same track as the other train, in the opposite direction. Again, the controller failed to reach the driver.
  • 8:47 - The overhead wire current was cut off, automatically engaging the emergency brakes of both trains, but too late.
  • 8:50 - A head-on collision was reported in the village of Pécrot. Eight people were killed (including both drivers), and twelve injured.


Cause

There were two main causes of this accident. The first was the inexperience of the driver of the train which departed from Wavre. The train had stopped with the driver’s cab past the signal, so the driver could not see that the signal was red when he departed. The other cause was the language barrier between the station staff at Wavre and Leuven. Both French and Flemish are official languages in Belgium and rail staff were only required to speak one. NMBS/SNCB, the Belgian national railway company, admitted that the accident was caused solely by human error.

First attack

The first attack took place on 26 February 1993. Three devices exploded (and unignited incendiary made safe) at the gasworks causing extensive damage. A police officer, PC Mark Toker, was shot and injured after stopping a van connected to the attacks, and a car was hijacked.http://archive.thisischeshire.co.uk/2000/5/18/222195.html Gas bombers may be freed


Second attack

At 11:58am on (20 March 1993), the telephone help charity The Samaritans received a coded message that a bomb was going to be detonated outside the Boots shop in Liverpool, fifteen miles away from Warrington. Merseyside Police investigated, and also warned the Cheshire Constabulary (who patrolled Warrington) of the threat, but it was too late to evacuate. At 12:12pm two bombs exploded, one outside Boots on Bridge Street and one outside the Argos catalogue store. It later turned out that the bombs had been placed inside cast-iron litter bins, causing large amounts of shrapnel.

Buses were organised to ferry people away from the scene and 20 paramedics and crews from 17 ambulances were sent to deal with the aftermath.

Eyewitnesses of the time said that “the first explosion drove panicking shoppers into the path of the next blast just seconds later.”

There were two fatalities from the blast. Three-year-old Johnathan Ball died at the scene, accompanied by his babysitter, who survived. The second victim, 12-year-old Tim Parry, died in hospital from his injuries five days later. 54 more people were injured, four of them seriously.
