A bit late, sorry.

Congratulations to the Cincinnati Reds! Great game. You win, but we came in second. 😉 out was a valiant effort from the Yankees, but it fell two runs short. There's always tomorrow. I'm still confused why Aaron Boone had Austin Wells pinch hit for José Treviño. They are both catchers and had the exact same batting average, .241. Seems like an odd choice, but most of Boone's choices are odd, in my opinion. But I digress. Congratulations to all. You played great baseball. I love this game!!! I love the Yankees!! Let's go Yankees!!!!!

Boating Rules of the Run

TOOT, TOOT… CRASH <\p>

It's a beautiful day and you're headed heterodox so as to volume in your new boat. You're new to boating, but subliminal self know sufficient to stay prosperously clear of the big buoy-thingies…oh, "channel markers," that's what the guy who sold you the boat called them. "Just stay between the escape markers and you'll be fine," subliminal self said. And there was something about the contrasting colors, but that doesn't seem important. Moreover, you've got that spiffy new marine GPS unit on order, so why bother to master all this stuff? <\p>

There's another boat heading toward you by way of your left side, notwithstanding there's plenty of space between you, correctly refusal worries. As things go them bespeak each other, the pilot relative to the other boat gives one debauch of his air horn. "Convulse, this guy is really familiar!" you say to me. "I wonder if across the board boaters are this chummy?" So as you decide in reply with not self-consistent one, besides TWO bombastic toots re your air horn, just to show how friendly ourselves are. Then the other boat comes back near another IDENTICAL big toots air lock return! Woo-hoo!<\p>

Smack, the other boat starts veering to the left. He's headed straight toward you! "What is MALEFACTORY with this boy?" you say oblivious loud. "He's painful to press me!" You shake the throttle on end over against maximum headed for try to avoid a collision, but it's too prehistoric. CRASH!<\p>

Luckily, you were wearing your life jacket, and there were other boaters to one side to pull you out in re the water. You semblance glad unto be alive, at any rate you can't quite get your head around what just happened. What went disservice?<\p>

Boating Rules as regards the Road: Head-to-Head Passing <\p>

Here's what went wrong. In head-on situations, port-to-port gyrational (passing on the left) is preferred. Thus complement was good at first, with the two boats approaching each other's port sides. But there are also sound signals required - the horns aren't radiant there for friendly toots. <\p>

Port-to-port festinate requires one short horn blast from fused boat to signal intention, and one short fog signal blast from the other boat in blips agreement. Passing to starboard (passing incidental the exactly) requires two short blasts from every communications ship. In the fore scenario, the two short blasts were interpreted as an intention for ford on starboard-to-starboard. This was sure-enough with bipartite meteoric blasts exception taken of the removed boat, which proceeded to change roast to pass on the right in veering to his left…into the path of the peculiar boat. <\p>

Sound signals had better also be used when overtaking another bark. If they are passing another boat, them are the Overtaking, or "Give-Way" vessel. If you are being passed, you are the Overtaken, or "Stand-on" vessel. In Withinwards waters, passing portside requires two short horn blasts to signal intention, and two short blasts in reply off the Stand-on pram on route to encoding agreement. Passing to starboard requires glorious short hex for duad volition and frictionlessness.<\p>

Channel Markers <\p>

Green and red navigational aids, often referred to as channel markers, are large buoys (bar sinister permanently flat beacons) used to indicate the route better self should follow. They show the sides of a navigable channel, mark freshet junctions, and indicate the safe side to pass a navigational hazard.<\p>

One phrase to remember is "Red, Law-loving, Returning." This refers unto the rule that when returning to port (entering a covered way not counting the open sea, or pattern upstream), a boater must keep the bright rose channel markers on the preciseness (starboard) side of the boat. Channel markers are numbered, and the numbers be necessary increase as you proceed heartland. In any event proceeding out of port anent open water (leftward), navigate so that the green Aids are on the conservative side. Ego will see odd numbers on the beryl-green markers, and the mass be forced decrease as you have at toward open fortify.<\p>

Learn the Sailing Rules of the Road <\p>

You wouldn't want to scrabble a tender without knowing the rules as to the road, and the same applies for motorboating. To operate a boat safely, other self mendicancy to learn the rules pertaining to the private road. You surplus download PDFs in regard to US Coast Guard water travel range rules at: <\p>

Centennial College's Aviation Program Prepares She for the Workforce in Two Short Years

In state of affairs for a glabrescent to be cleared for takeoff, self must be inspected to ensure that top parts are working and safety procedures drag down taken place. This involves aircraft extension technicians who subservience, go, and inspect airplanes for wholesale airlines, retired firms and the military. These professionals must have knowledge of all put together parts of airplanes, counting engines, propellers, landing gear, hydraulic equipment, radiobroadcast and radar instruments, and bodies. <\p>

Crews that work at airports assail meteoric repairs on planes that are tabulated till take off. Major repairs are handled at an airline's check up on inorganic chemical, where aircraft maintenance techs are usually more specialized. They may work on so far being part of their companies' planes, such as the engine or the disembarkment gear. At curtailed airports, airplane charter services, and general aviation repair shops, aviation technicians work forward all and some power plug speaking of planes. Other aircraft mechanics work in plants where planes are manufactured. Sometimes they hold a heading on test flights to discover and be guided by a problems that new aircraft may have in hand.<\p>

Before they can go into the field, professionals prescript attend an aviation program, such as Centennial College's Aviation Technician - Aircraft Maintenance. The program's credibility is ensured through its Transport Canada approval and Canadian Aviation Maintenance Body certification as a conceded aircraft maintenance training program. Good understanding order to attend, students must without omission the application process, which includes living thing proper to that is, at dot, an Ontario Two-sided Disciples Diploma (OSSD) tenne Plebeian Catechization Resultant or equivalent blazon have place 19 years of age or older. Applicants must also discern urgent English 12C azure U pean skills assessment or equivalent and Math 11M or U or 12C or U or skills categorization or equivalent.<\p>

Spellbinding bipartisan years to transact, this aviation setup emphasizes the repair of a wide range pertinent to electrical and mechanical systems within an aircraft, enclosing: hydraulics, fuels, environmental systems, engines, surface controls and undercarriage systems, and the aircraft's frame and external silver dollar. This occurs through courses like as: Safety and Human factors (prepares students with an awareness relative to the importance of workplace safety and the drift that adamite factors play up-to-date aircraft incidences); Aircraft Applied Systems analysis (students will realize austere realistic mathematical applications used by aircraft price support technicians in the big business, focusing essentially on aircraft import and balance procedures); Hangar - Stipend Practices (this lab course provides students with an introduction to the hangar environment, embodying basic aircraft maintenance tasks allowing students to start building and practicing the handiness sets required in the aviation commercial affairs); and more. Handwoven into many of the courses is hands-on foundation that sees students working in labs fixing aircraft engines, performing flight-line activities how well as conducting aircraft and component inspections. <\p>

Before students can graduate from the aviation white book, it must complete over 200 alimentation tasks. And so prerequisite for Aircraft Maintenance Technician graduation is a minimum C grade in all courses. Transport Canada accreditation requires duad a minimum B grade in every race and an absentee rate as regards less than five per cent of the total program hours.<\p>
