Image UK shipping forecast zones.png 250px thumb UK Shipping map Sailing By is a short piece of light music composer composed by Ronald Binge in 1963, which is used before the late Shipping Forecast on BBC Radio 4 . A slow waltz , the piece uses a repetitive ABABC structure and features a distinctive rising and falling woodwind arpeggio. Context and usage Sailing By is played every night on BBC Radio 4 at around 00 45hrs before the late Shipping Forecast . Its tune is repetitive, assisting in its role of serving as a signal for sailor s tuning in to be able to easily identify the radio station. It also functions as a buffer depending on when the final programme before closedown finishes, Sailing By or part of it is played as a filler as the shipping forecast starts at 00 48hrs precisely. The initial reason for its introduction was because of the indeterminate finish time for the preceding Midnight News, leading to filling music being played until the Shipping Forecast was due to start. Sailing By was added to allow for a clear break between the end of the music and the start of the forecast. In the 1990s the tune was also adopted for the weekly maritime programme Seascapes on Ireland s RT Radio 1 . Popularity Besides its intended function, Sailing By is thought of affectionately by many British radio listeners as it is considered a soothing accompaniment to bedtime.

Unreferenced date June 2007 The Costs of Accidents A Legal and Economic Analysis 1970 by Guido Calabresi is a work in the law and economics tradition because it provides an economic efficiency analysis of the rules of tort law . The central aim of tort law is not the absolute minimization of losses from individual accidents because the total accident cost of any economically fruitful activity industry includes both the expected cost of the accidents that happen to occur and the actual costs expended in avoiding the accidents. For expenditures to prevent accidents, there must be associated levels of expected accidents and expected losses. Unfortunately, there is a serious underregistration of the most common accidents that have only a small cost per accident but may be important in the total cost of accidents. Only few studies have accurately quantified the entire cost of accidents. ref cite journal author Joris Aertsens, Bas de Geus, Gr gory Vandenbulcke, Bart Degraeuwe, Steven Broekx, Leo De Nocker, Inge Liekens, Inge Mayeres, Romain Meeusen, Isabelle Thomas, Rudi Torfs, Hanny Willems, Luc Int Panis year 2010 title Commuting by bike in Belgium, the costs of minor accidents. journal Accident Analysis and Prevention volume 42 pages 2149 2157 http dx.doi.org 10.1016 j.aap.2010.07.008 ref .

TGVweb TGV accidents are events involving TGV trains which have harmful consequences, such as injury to people or damage to trains, or derailment s. High speed rail is one of the safest modes of transportation. The safety figures for the TGV system are exceptional there have been no fatalities in high speed operation since service started in 1981. Today TGV trains accumulate of the order of 10 million passenger kilometer kilometre s per year on LGV lignes grande vitesse high speed lines alone. 1.2 billion passengers have travelled on the TGV. TGV operations fall into two categories operations on dedicated, TGV only high speed lines LGVs , and operation in mixed traffic on lignes classiques , conventional lines. Indeed, of the total track length served by TGV trains only about 25 by route kilometre is high speed. In understanding the incident summaries below, it is important to bear this distinction in mind. Most of the serious incidents have occurred on conventional lines, where TGV trains are exposed to the same external risks as any other train. High speed operation has never been a factor in any fatal incident in the history of the TGV. Following the number of accidents at level crossings, an effort has been made to remove all level crossings on lignes classiques used by TGVs. The ligne classique from Tours to Bordeaux at the end of the LGV Atlantique has no level crossings as a result. Incident summaries The summaries below are not comprehensive. Most of the major incidents are described, but there have been others On high speed lines An aerodynamic fairing lost due to incorrect maintenance, that broke a window and injured a passenger At least five strikes of animals on the track At least two fires, one in a baggage compartment and the other in a power unit ... and accidents.

Plane sailing also spelled plain sailing is an approximate method of navigation over small ranges of latitude and longitude. Both spellings plane and plain have been in use for several centuries, ref A Token for Ship Boys, or Plain Sailing made more plain Adam Martindale, 1683, A Collection of Letters for Improvement of Husbandry & Trade ref ref The rudiments, which would no sooner be run over, than the rest would become plain sailing. Fanny Burney, 1796, Camilla ref ref Oxford English Dictionary ref Plane sailing is based on the assumption that the meridian through the point of departure, the parallel through the destination, and the course line form a right triangle in a plane, called the plane sailing triangle . This is the usual method used to navigate using paper charts and maps. The expression plane sailing has, by analogy, taken on a more general meaning of any activity that is relatively straightforward. See also Rhumb line Great circle navigation Plane sailing versus Parallel Sailing The art of Plane sailing involves traversing diagonally through a rectangle or square formed by lattitude and longitude of the start position and End posiition, and, over a region so vast which cannot be appromated to be a triangle on flat surface. In Comparision , Parallel Sailing involves traversing through region which can be appromated to be a triangle as we commonly study in school geometry, formed by latitudes ,longitudes and the course line. Therefore, in Parallel Sailing, the formula of trignometry as one studies in school, work. In place sailing, which is generally taken as spanning over a the course line of 500 nautical miles or more, the triangle is spherical. thus, the known ... that the earliest of human adventure at sea was centred on Parallel Sailing method whereby boats navigated parallel to the coastline visible to them. Hence the name, Parallel sailing. In this era ... of new knowledge, which led to development of Plane Sailing. Plane Sailing involved knowledge ... more details
Tack is a term used in sailing that has different meanings in different contexts, variously a part of a sail, and an alignment with the wind. When using the latter sense, the maneuver of turning between starboard and port tack is either tacking sailing tacking or jibe jibing . Sail The tack is the lower corner of the sail s leading edge. On a sloop rigged sailboat, the mainsail tack is connected to the Mast sailing mast and the Boom sailing boom at the gooseneck . On the same boat, a foresail tack is clipped to the deck ship deck and forestay . Position Image PrideofBaltimore1.jpg right 200px thumb This vessel is on port tack. Unsourced image removed Image Stephen Taber 2006.jpg right 200px thumb This vessel is on starboard tack. Tack is the alignment of a sailing vessel with respect to the wind when moving upwind that is, when the vessel s bow ship bow is pointed within 90 degrees of the wind. If the wind is to starboard , the vessel is on starboard tack , and if to port, on port tack . The International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea Section II for vessels in sight of one another rules of the road for ships and boats declare that when the courses of two sailing vessels converge, the vessel on port tack must give way to a vessel on starboard tack . For this purpose, port and starboard tack include any position with the wind to that side, whether moving upwind or downwind. If a vessel is fore and aft rigged, the actual wind position is overridden by the position of the boom the mainsail boom in a vessel with multiple masts , which is assumed to be on the side opposite the wind, even if the vessel is running straight downwind or is in the act of tacking that is, if the boom is to port the vessel is on starboard tack, and vice versa. There are exceptions to the requirement ...
