The historical development of tonnage, ship registration, classification societies and national and international law for flag State responsibility is recounted, along with the large increase in numbers of non-traditional flag States and classification societies over the past fifty years. The Law of the Sea Convention provides for a State to grant its nationality to ships, for those ships to be surveyed before registration, and for a flag State to effectively exercise its jurisdiction and control in administrative, technical and social matters over ships flying its flag. A State has the sovereign right to determine conditions for grant of its nationality and this can lead to derogation of flag State responsibility with implications for safety of ships.

 

 

This title of AD heralds a new era of exuberance in digital design. Having overcome the alienation and otherness of the cyber, having mastered the virtual qualities and protocols of the parametric, having achieved the intricacy and elegance of the digital, and having fully embraced the potential of 3d computer software and cad/cam manufacturing technologies, it is now time for architects to show off!

 

 

By closing the gap between conceptual design and the documentation required for construction, building information modelling (BIM) promises to revolutionise contemporary design practice. This issue of AD brings together a group of pioneering academics, architects, engineers and construction managers all of whom are engaged in the use of building information models in the actualisation of complex building projects, from design stage to construction.

The Revolution
Achieving a fully professional sounding mix using a home computer wasn't possible only a few years ago, but a virtual studio setup that rivals the capabilities of the "big rooms" is now reality. Waves signal processing is part of that revolution. Found in the top Hollywood sound stages, mix rooms and as the producer's "secret weapons" all over the world, Waves impressive array of signal processing tools set the new standard for sonic manipulation.

Narrated by Anna Chancellor. A countdown of the sexiest scenes to have graced both the big and small screen, as voted for by the viewing public. A range of clips demonstrate the spectrum of setups that audiences find erotic, from the allure of 1950s pin ups to raunchy contemporary films via Mr Darcy’s dip in the lake in TV drama ‘Pride and Prejudice’ and the sensual antics of domestic goddess Nigella Lawson in the kitchen.

This is a three-disc box set compiling four albums of his from 1967-1976. I came across it in a used bin and I have been a fan ever since! The albums included are: The Complete Yusef Lateef; Yusef Lateef's Detroit; Hush 'n Thunder; and The Doctor Is In...And Out.

Lateef's style is reminiscent of Rashaan Roland Kirk, in that he plays virtually all types of traditional and exotic wind instruments, and incorporates elements from many different musical traditions, contemporary and from around the world. This set starts out in a more traditional vein (though very innovative) and gets progressively more diverse. Most of the tracks have a distinctly 70's sound (in a GOOD way!), lots of funk, soul, blues and gospel, with plenty of heavy rhythms, electric bass and piano, and a little bit of everything else. I find it eccentric, funky, enlightening and evocative. In short, good times!! I ripped this awhile ago, can't remember with what, but it's at 320.

When it comes to romantic stories, William Shakespeare's tale of two star-crossed lovers from the houses of Montague and Capulet is one of the classics. But how many people have actually read Romeo and Juliet cover to cover? Indie studio Baby Eish Games is working on Most Romantic Tales: Romeo and Juliet, a "visual novel" designed to introduce more people to the story by presenting a line by line translation of Shakespeare's original play into contemporary, colloquial American English.
