This is probably my best game to date. I wanted to make something more accessible, as most of my flash games have been too complicated for my family to play. :3
I really hope you guys enjoy it, I think it's the most effort I've put in to anything. A big thanks to everyone who helped me test, and Tom and NG for the sponsorship!
As always, leave a comment! I love reading them.
EDIT: The game has version detection, but YOU NEED FLASH 10 to play it. If you have trouble loading the game, please send me a PM with the details.
EDIT: Because nearly everyone is saying they can't figure out the boss's pattern, I've made a slight change that should make it more obvious. Once the game update is approved I'll let you guys know and you can try again with the new pattern. *Alright it's up now*
If you're getting a black screen after the Newgrounds and Particlasm screens this applies to you. This might also help with the loading bar freezing. This was posted by a Kongregate user (thanks Knork):
"If the game does not load past the ads make sure that ngads.com and ads.newgrounds.com are not being blocked in your hosts file. Which is located under C:\WINDOWS\system32\drive rs\etc
If they are, uncheck the "Read-only" attribute and edit out those two lines."
If this works for you let me know.
This game is excellantly made, the graphics are stunning and the audio and setting is wonderfull.
It is very obvious that you enjoy making games and you could very easily become a very wealthy person.
Brilliant game, I expect more of them!
Very good!
Phenomenal... I really liked it, not just because of the name. Great job dude, I'd like a sequel of sorts!
It was awesome, I just love this game, I beat it without the map :P I like the graphics, the sound, everything!
Great Game
It's awesome has good gravity and some good material.
Perhaps THE beautiful Flash Platformer Competitor
I've just finished playing William and Sly, and I must say, it's perhaps the TRUE competitor we've all been waiting for. If you don't get what I mean by that, that's okay. It's relativly unimportant. Anyhow, let's get the show on the road already!
The Story is nothing special. William wants you (Sly) to hunt for fairyflies to restore his runestones to get to the Storage. What is special, however, is the sharp writing. Sharp writing is rare these days in both Flash AND Official games, so major points for that.
The music is there, but not obvious until you get to the boss, which may I say that the boss music rocks. The sounds, however, was one of the strongest points of the game.
Graphically, it looks PHENOMINAL! Sly looks like he's both fully rendered and from an offical Disney Animated Movie. The backgrounds (especially the trees) are nothing less than spectacular. This is perhaps the strongest part of the game.
Now for the gameplay. It's a really nice platformer. I was glad there were no bottomless pits whatsoever. Also, Sly controlled well. The fairyflies were also in the meduim difficulty to get. However, when you teleport between runestones in a flash, there's a VERY potential danger for epiletic seizures. You might want the flashes when teleporting to be less..I don't know. Flashy? We don't want another 'Electric Solider Porygon', do you?
Unlike the game William and Sly is competiting aganist, this is one BIG BIG world, instead of a big world, connecting to other big worlds. This can be a drawback, however, as this game doesn't last a TENTH as long as the other game. It was easy to get lost at first, but that obstacle became mininized when you get the map.
Speaking of the map, let's talk about it. As I said, it pretty much prevent you from getting lost, so long as you could find the nearest runestone. Now here's what I found...not good. While thankfully the map lists where runestones are, as for the other stuff, like mushrooms and chests, they are not. I sometimes looked for them and couldn't search for them on my map! But it's not gonna take a point off since it's thankfully optional, or I would've...never mind that.
However, I didn't like how you used SHIFT to access the map. Why? Stic. Ky. Keys. They are always a niusence. Maybe something like W would work?
Also, the darklings were annoying. They were placed inconviently and more often than not, the whilte magic when you activate a runestone doesn't last long enough to dispel those annoying idiots.
What's the worst part? The boss. Simply but, he was so frustrating that I'm considering docking down a point for making him so frustrating. Hmm...to dock or not to dock a point for the boss. Eh. I won't. But it's probably a 9.55 or something.
Still, William and Sly is an outstanding game. It's almost nothing like we've ever seen before. Smooth controls, sharp writing, and excellent gameplay (except for the boss) makes this game just as exceptional as the game William and Sly is competiting aganist.
I give William and Sly a Ten out of Ten. As a result of this score, WIlliam and Sly has earned the Platinum Medal. Congraduations.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
2 Nigeria radio journalists who talked about polio rumours on air charged after killings
KANO, Nigeria - Police in northern Nigeria arrested and charged two radio journalists and a local cleric alleged to have sparked the killings of at least nine women gunned down while trying to administer polio vaccines, officials said Tuesday. Police claimed their on-air comments about a vaccination campaign in the area inflamed the region and caused the attacks.
The allegations against the journalists working for Wazobia FM show the continuing struggle over free speech in Nigeria, a nation that came out of military rule only in 1999 and where simply taking photographs on the street can get a person arrested. Though Nigeria has a rambunctious free press, threats and attacks against journalists remain common and unsolved killings of reporters still haunt the country.
On Friday in Kano, the largest city in Nigeria's predominantly Muslim north, gunmen in three-wheel taxis attacked women preparing to give the oral-drop vaccines to children, killing at least nine, police said. Witnesses later said they saw at least 12 dead from the attack. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, though suspicion immediately fell on the sect known as Boko Haram, which is waging a campaign of guerrilla shootings and bombings across northern Nigeria.
A few days before the killings, Wazobia FM aired a program in which presenters talked about how one of the station's journalists had been attacked by local officials and had his equipment confiscated after coming upon a man who refused to allow his children to be vaccinated. The journalists and the cleric on the program apparently discussed the fears people have about the vaccine, which then spread through the city.
Kano state police commissioner Ibrahim Idris ordered the journalists and the cleric be arrested immediately after Friday's attack.
Initially, Idris said the journalists would face charges of "culpable homicide" over the polio workers' deaths. Those charges can carry the death penalty. However, at an arraignment hearing Tuesday afternoon, prosecutors brought lesser charges that included conspiracy, inciting a disturbance and obstruction of a public servant. Magistrate Ibrahim Bello ordered a follow-up hearing Thursday.
Onimisi Adaba, operation manager for Wazobia FM and its sister stations, later told The Associated Press that the radio group was "fully aware of the situation."
"We are presently attending to the matter," Adaba said. He declined to comment further.
There have long been suspicions about the polio vaccine in northern Nigeria, with people believing the drops would sterilize young girls.
In 2003, a Kano physician heading the Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria said the vaccines were "corrupted and tainted by evildoers from America and their Western allies." That led to hundreds of new infections in children across the north, where beggars on locally made wooden skateboards drag their withered legs back and forth in traffic, begging for alms. The 2003 disease outbreak in Nigeria eventually spread throughout the world, even causing infections in Indonesia.
Today, Nigeria is one of only three countries where polio remains endemic, the others being Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Nigeria came out of a long period of military rule in 1999 and has an unbridled free press, but journalists are often harassed by police and the State Security Service, the nation's secret police. Local journalists also have been attacked and killed in the oil-rich nation over their reporting. Eighteen journalists have been killed in Nigeria since 1992, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists
Newspapers and radio stations also often hold off paying journalists their salaries for months at a time. That forces reporters to make money from selling advertising to those they cover or through collecting so-called "brown envelope" bribes slipped into briefing materials at news conferences.
Mohamed Keita, an official with the Committee to Protect Journalists in New York, said his organization is investigating the circumstances surrounding the journalists' prosecution.
"We are troubled by the detentions of journalists insofar as there appears to be no evidence linking their program to the murderous attacks on the polio clinics," Keita said. "We call on Nigerian authorities to afford the journalists due process under the law."
Associated Press writer Jon Gambrell in Johannesburg contributed to this report.

If I try to talk to my wife about this issue, she gets defensive and accuses me of picking on her. Advice? -- THE NORTH 40 IN VIRGINIA
DEAR NORTH 40: It would be interesting to know if your wife's problem is an inability to comprehend English well, a hearing problem or a social anxiety disorder. Of course, we'll never know unless you're able to have an honest conversation with her about it and explain how it affects you. If there is a solution, your wife will have to want to find it.
As to functions having to do with business, if she's uncomfortable in that environment, then you should attend without her.
DEAR ABBY: I'm a secretary who happens to make really good coffee. An employee who works in the building likes my coffee and has made himself comfortable at my desk in the morning before he starts work and afterward, before his second job.
I am not comfortable with this. He plants himself at my desk, and I find myself having to work around him. He has become a fixture in my office and I need it to stop. How can I go about this without hurting his feelings? — NOT HIS BARISTA
DEAR NOT: From where I sit, it looks like the man may have a crush on you. Because you want less of his company, tell him you need to get to work -- or get your work finished -- and that his presence at your desk is distracting. Tell him you're flattered that he likes your coffee and he's welcome to a cup, but he needs to drink it elsewhere. If you say it pleasantly, his feelings shouldn't be hurt.

Summary and Conclusions
Toe Marti Shipyard Ho. khk in Hikolayev, Hlkolayev Oblast is the aoat Important ahipyard in the Black Sea area and, next to the Baltic Shipyard In Leningrad, tbe second largest in the USSR.
It has capacity and technological ability to produce all types or naval vessels from snail submarines to battleships and to produce merchant vessels Proa barges to fairly large ocean-going passenger liners. In addition to having good facilities for the building and assembly of ships, the shipyard lo equipped with shops which, should conditions demand, could produce most of the ship components. Including heavy ordnance and ammunition.
The usehipyard's facilities lo tbe Soviet economy is dictated by tbe national coed of tho end product. This end product is determined by civilian need or military plan. In post-World War II ye are, the Marti Shipyard Ho. kkk has been devoted principally to tbe construction of nsval vessels, as most of tbe USSR's merchant vessels have been procured from Soviet Bloc and non-Soviet Bloc countries.
Postwar construction of cruisers by the shipyard Is believed fairly well established. Little information is available as to the construction of other naval or merchant vessels.
The shipyard's capability to produce cruisers, destroyers, andusing known and probable facilities, but excluding vessel repairs and merchant construction, is estimated at UQ,2C0 standard displacement tonsof naval construction annually. Using thc same facilities and

III. History and
1- History.
The Marti Shipyard Ho. Witt wan started near the end of the last. 3/ During World War II the Oernan Amy overran Hikolayev and occupied the shipyard from the middleI to tbe middle. Just prior to this occupation the Russians evacuated much machinery and many workers to other places ln the USSR. Various reports Indicate shipments of machinery and equipment to Potl and Batumi,or'kly,nd toy
The term region in this report refers to the economic regions defined and numbered on CIA1 (First, USSR: Economic Regions.
Footnote references In arable numerals are to sources listed in Appendix c.
Because of the speed of the advancing Germans, tbe retreating Russians were unable to strip the shipyard completely of equipment and machinery or to do much damage to tbe buildings and ways.* Upon occupying the shipyard the Germans made minor repairs to facilities and ways and began the construction of small vessels.
When the tide of tbe war turned and the Russians threatened tothe shipyard, the Germans methodically demolishedercent of the buildings above tbe ground level. Little damage was done to building foundations or to the shipbuilding ways.
Immediately after Hlkoloyev was retaken by the Russians in tbe middle, reconstruction work began. As original building foundations suffered little damage the pattern of reconstructing the shipyard followed closely the original installations, but practically all the facllitiea and machinery bad to be replaced. Improvements vere made in some installations with special emphasis on way* 7/ (For location, see tbef the shipyard.)
Aamall part of the removed equipment vas brought back to the shipyard, many machine tools necessary for reconstruction had to be allotted by tbe State Defense Committee from its special reserve and from Lead-Lease deliveries. Moreachine toola removed from the Desay Alket Plant in Falkensee, Germany, were received in the shipyard. 8/ Many reports state that machinery and equipment used to refit tbe shipyard are of German, British, and us manufacture. The Russians dismantled the Important German submarine construction base of Desehimag at Bremen, acquired aa reparations, and shipped tho material to Hikolayev. 9/ This material was probably intended for the Marti Shipyard Ho. kkk.
Reconstruction of buildings was done mainly by German, Hungarian, and Rumanian prisoners of war. Tbe installation of machines and equipment was done by Soviet, free labor. Only on rare occasions were prisoner-of-war skilled mechanics ever permitteduilding after equipment and machines were installed and only on rare occasions were prisoners of war used in shipyard production work.

2. Organlzation.
Before the government reorganization of3 th2 activities of the 3hlpyurd cama under the Ministry of the Shipbuilding IndustryMiu-Isterstvo uudostroitel'noy During thethis Ministry vue combined with the Ministries of Transport, Machine Building, Heavy Machine Building, and Construction and Reed Machine Building toingle Ministry of Transport and Heavy Machine Building. Various reports show that the shipyard is under the direct control of one of the main administrations subordinate to the Ministry. Reports conflict as to which administration has control. Present Indications are that theprincipal production will be naval vessels ranging from submarines to cruisers. Merchant vessels may also be constructed in the shipyard.
IV. Importance.
This shipbuilding and repair yard is considered to be tbe largest Soviet shipyard in the Block See area, and ita facilities for repairing both naval and merchant vessels are of great importance to tbe Black Sea fleet. Sext to the Baltic Shipyard io Leningrad, it is the largest shipyard in the entire USSR. u/
Tbe empbasia placed on reconstructing the shipyard, following World War II, points up the USSR's high evaluation of the atrateglc Importance of thisIn the general rehabilitation and future economy of the country. and facilities reconstructed In tbe shipyard ore ofndicating that this shipyard will be integrated into Soviet long-ranee planning.
It la believed that tbe shipyard has been reconstructed to assume economic proportions at least equal to that of prewar years. Tbe improvement to wayhich now makes possible tbe simultaneous construction within tbe shipyard of two ships of battleship or carrier eiae and tbe installation of facilities for assemoly line production of submarines create added value to an already Important shipyard.
ddltlon to its capability for producing large naval warships and merchant vessels, it fiUe orders from other shipyards and industrial installations tnrougnout ute uotw iur OHMpwnarfum ports.
Within the shipyard, but subordinate to the fabrication and assembly shoos, ore numerous and extremely diverse shops which could produce nearly all the machines and machine parta needed for tbe completion of the lorcentwarships. lW
Another factor of considerable economic significance is the Sitaeoa-Martln steel Bill within the shipyard. This Bill has an estimated annual production0 Metric tons of open-hearth steel.
During the first pert or World War II the shipyard, in addition to building ships, vas engaged lo building naval and coastal ordnance, sea mines, torpedoes, bombs, and ammunition. It is reported that naval ordnance or caliber required to arm heavy cruisers has been made in tbe shipyard since the
V. Buildings and Facilities.
Tho chart of the shipyard was developed from an enlargednd is believed toeasonably accurate picture of tbo shipyard as of At that time, many buildings had not been rebuilt,umber of the reconstructed buildings had not been equipped. This chart has been prepared to show graphically the Interrelation of thamany shops and facilities. ey to the identification of buildings and facilities vlll be found on the chart.
Durlnp the period ofingle building may have been Identified with many different operations. As new buildings were erected and fitted out, an operation vhich formerly vas conducted in an older building was trfianferred to the new structure. It Is to be expected that further shirts will be made as the shipyard la rurther developed. Very little data on racilities are available, because prisoners of war wore rarely permitted in/iido buildings after tho buildings were fitted out for production.
The buildings, way, railroad and crane tracks, platens, and other construction have been newly built or reconstructedermanent basis.

VI. Production.
Since, with few exceptions, the shipyard has been reconstructed along Its former lines, it may be assumed that production has been resumed along prewar Itoes modified to suit postwar plans.
i. Pre-World War II.
The shipyard has had almost continuing experience in navalsince the days of the It has produced battleships, cruisers, submarines, destroyers, motor torpedo boats, and
In prewar years the Marti Shipyard Bo. Ukk specialized in tbeof merchant vessels such as medium-sized lumber carriers, large tankers, and
Just before World War II tbe shipyard was engaged in the construction of tbe battleship Kraonaya This battleship was similar la site to the Sovyetsky Soyus class, which was estimated* feeteet In breadth, andmetrie-ton standard Tho Krosnayc Ukraine was practically completed when tbe Gcnaoos occupied the shipyard However, completion was not undertaken by the Russians after the war, and the vessel was finally cut up. The dismantling was completed ln
In prewar years the shipyard contained an almost independent railroad-car-manufacturing plant and an englne-bulldlng plant, which produced steam turbines and large reciprocating
Production In the various shopside range of commodities for both shipbuilding and Industrial application. Various reports state that the shipyard produced stationary and oarine boilers, marine diesel engines, cast steel and iron, forgings, general machinery, metal construction, rr.ip.-rs, jacks, castteam turbines andnd small turbogenerators up toilowatts.

2. Postwar
Specific reports covering completion of shipyard facilities and of postwar production are not available. For example, the large turbine shop that vas known to exist before World War II has not been reported aa being again in production.
Various reports indicate that the shops within the shipyard are capable of producing many components of vessels. From an economic point of view, it is believed that the shops would not engage ln any production that paralleled that of the specialized Industries. Io prewar years the cost of metal articles produced inhipyard3 percent higher than any similar article pro* .iced by specialized Industries elsewhere in the USSR. It follows altar, that the ahlpyard's shops would not produce Items that eculd be manufacture', by specialized industries unless such industries were overloaded with orders and the product could not be obtained outalde the USSR or that transportation difficulties made it ncceseary to produce the item in tbe shipyard's shops. It la believed that using the shops In assembly work and production of Items for vhlch the demand is not sufficient tolngle industry or shop to continuous production best serves the Soviet economy.
Probably the most important postwar contribution of the shipyard to the Soviet naval forces has been the completion of two cruisers, whosewas Interrupted by World War II, and tbe additional construction of new cruisers. These cruisers, the Kiybynhev and tbe Frunze, which were tawed away from the shipyardartially completed atate Just prior to tbe German occupation of the shipyard, were returned to the shipyard for completion and arc now believed to be in operation with the Block Sea Fleet. UJ/
In May
Foilowing the dismantling of the battleship Krasoaya Ukraine, the keelarge vessel was laid down in wayn In i
lmllar keel was laid in way Tbeae were the first large vessel keela laid after World War II. Two or more warships of cruiser size have been reported several tines between January and1 as being alongside in tbe fitting-out Two hulls have been reported as occupyingarge Itrobable that the first hulls were launched in May and0 and that new vessels were laid down
It to believed that the new vessels arc light cruisers of the Chapayev or Sverdlov class. The probability that they are of the Sverdlov class appears greater as the Sverdlovostwar design and currently being built in the Leningrad Construction of Sverdlov cruisers inrequires aboutonths on building ways and about.onths for Estimating that the Marti Shipyardxtra months for buildingxtra months forrobableschedule would be as follows:

In tbe reconstruction of the shipyard, special attention was paid to tbe fitting-out of tbe submarine fabrication and assembly shop, whichwill fabricate and assemble submarines on the assembly linemethod. Byroduction had already begun in the fabrication of cylindrical sections which resembled pressure hull sections/ These sections were shipped outside thc shipyard to destinations Inn tbe Bug River and in the vicinity of the shipyard there wereumber of submarines with high conning towers, believed to be new and on builders' This observation may confirm that actual submarine production has begun.
Several reports slate that8umber of small craft were probably built on ways,,nd ranged. In types of vessels reported, from barges and oou.ll naval craft to boats for inland waterways. Rotlmntes of length range fromeet to IflP. feet.
With tbe exception of the foregoing probable construction, thereports indicate no merchant vessels of any size under construction.
Several reports Indicate that an aircraft carrier is possibly under construction in the These reports have not been confirmed.
The productivity of the Siemens-Martin steel mill and foundrygreatly toward satisfying the shipyard's steel requirements for castings, forglngs, plates, and shapes. It Is probable that the Siemens-Martin steel mill produces all of the steel required for hull construction. Information about varloua facilities within the reconstructed mill tends to support the assumption that, in addition to producing casting metal, the mill also produces steel of ship plate quality. This assumption, coupled with expanded ship construction facilities, would point toward the use, ln postwar years,igher percentage of the steel mill's output for shipbuilding.
Various data ahov that Siemens-Martin furnaces not connected directly with large metalluglcal Installations in the USSR differ considerably aathe number of raelta carried outorking period, tbe amount of coldear, and the time idle. tandardverhauls per year, each takingays, may be adoptedeasonable average. ays for holidays, this would mean that tho furnacan were inayu of the/ Using tbe production factoretric tons per square foot per day of operation, pS/otal hearth areaquare feet the annual production would amount8 metric tons. Because the Russians, in their Fifth Five Tear, have placed greet emphasis on ateel production and because this mill was one of the first units to be rebuilt, it la believed that postwar nnmmT production of rev ateel would not be leas0 metric tons.
The electric furnaces add greatly to the economic importance of tbe steel mill. Steel of the quality required for armor plate and possiblytool steel can be produced because the electric proceaa permits close control of the composition of finished ateel.
A rolling mill for the production of ship plate connected with the steel mill has been reported. W/econd rolling mill for the production of ahlp plate ia also planned, cb/
Some of tbe steel produced in tbe Slcmcns-Martln steel mill was shipped to tbe Northern Yard In
Postwar reports up to9 indicate production ofropeller shafts, propellers andmor plate,ship funnels, and large
VII. Capabilities.
Upon considering tbe capability of the shipyard to produce ships it is assumed that the shipbuilding facilities will probably be used to their fullest extent for building naval vessels, with particular emphasis on producing vessels for the Black Sea Fleet. This shipyard is capable of and has the capacity for building all types of naval vessels from the smallest type of submarine to battlehips or carriers and for building all types of cere bant vessels from barges to fairly large ocean-going passenger liners.
In assessing thc shipyard's capability to produce vessels larger than tbe Sverdlov cruisers, reference is made to the prewar partially completedthe Krasnayahis vessel was originally scheduled to be launchedL, but Invao reduced In priority, and construction work practically ceased. After World War II the vessel was cut up on the ways.
Estimated Baval Vessel Construction Capacity
Based on known postwar construction in the USSR, the following arbitrarily selected naval vessels may simultaneouBly be built In thc Marti Shipyard No, kuk aa shown in Table 3.
Although confirmation of complete rehabilitation or all prewarways is locking, it is believed that the shipbuilding ways listed above would be made serviceable should the program demand.
Tbe possible annual production in naval standard displacement tonnage (SIT) is estimated In Table
Table h

Number of Vessels
ONI0 SDT not includingfrom tbe side leuncbirg ways.
In computing the annual production, three assumptions were made. -
The necessary materials, labor, and power would be available.
Only one mala labor shift would be employed.
Way time is considered to be the limiting factor of the production rate. The cruiser construction rate was taken atonths of way time, destroyers atonths of way time, and largo (K) submarinesonths of way time. Tho way timeonth in which to prepare the way for the next keel laying; For these vessels it is assumed that approximately an equal amount of time will be required ln outfitting. In this case all of the quay sides, now nerved by railroads, would be tied up ln outfitting theestroyers, and large submarines. The way time for the smaller submarines (Shch) was tokenonths. Because of lack of outfitting space It wasthat the smaller submarines would be essentially completed on the ways. In this connection several reports showaunching way was planned for the east end of tbe submarine fabrication plant No. So. Although actual construction of this launching way has not been confirmed, it is believed that some method will be employed for launching completed submarines directly from this plant either as reported or through the large door in the south side near the eastern end.
In the event that the shipyard should be devoted to the production of merchant vessels, the 3eIf-propelled cargo ships shovn inould simultaneously be built.

As these ways were over 8CC feetombinationessels on each way was used. The construction time of the shorter vessel being one-half the larger permitting the launching of the larger immediately following the launching of the second vessel.

Only one main labor shift would be employed.

No merchant, vessels vere assumed to be nullt ln tne submarine fabrication end repair plant
Output in both naval and merchant tonnage would undoubtedly be greater if the number of working hours of the one shift or the number of labor shifts were increased. Output also would be increased by repetitious productioningle design.
Production of vessels at the foregoing rate would seriously restrict the shipyard's capability for repair work- All of the quay sides, now served oy railroads, would be tied up in the outfitting of newly built vessels.
Repair work is limited by the lack of adequate dry docking facilities.loating dryargemall, ere available to tbe shipyard. There are no graving docks* or marine railways among tbe shipyard's facilities.
As mentioned earlier in this report, the several production shops within the shipyard could, if necessary, produce many military items including heavy ordnance and ammunition.
VIII. Labor.
Reports vary considerably as to the total number of shipyard7 reportotal0ostwar)00 employees the progress made inbe shipyard, it is doubtful that the shipyard was fully rebuilt and equipped at the time of the postwar estimates which may uccount for the lover figures.

Ho estimate is made of tbe number of employees engaged in productive work other than that for shipbuilding. The foregoing labor estimates do notthe workers In the Siemens-Martin steel mill or in shops engaged in production of components for shipyards elsewhere in the USSR or for other industrial consumers.
A school for apprentices has been in operation in the shipyard since tbe end of World War The number of apprentices is not known.
IX. Sources of Power and Materials.
1. Power.
Following the rebuilding of the shipyard, most of the new installations are powered by electricity. Electric welding is used extensively In the fabrication and assembly of ships and in other production shops in tbe There are several electric smelting furnaces ln the shipyard. The Marti Shipyard Ho. khk is, therefore, one of thc largeot consumers of electric power in
Electric power is supplied to the shipyard chiefly from the Hikolayev municipal powerhich generates0 tew. 7k/ Another source of powermall power plant within the shipyard probably generatingww. This small plant, whichi or to World War II, was not expanded when rebuilt following the war-it Is possible that equipment installed after the war may haveits output. The municipal power plant Is tied in with the DneprDonets power grid system. The grid system total power supply, estimated as The total coincident peak load plusercent for reservesw, leaving an excess of available powerwercent of total available This power study assumed an annual consumptionwhoincident ceak load0 kw for the Marti Shipyard Ho.
Damage to the municipal plant would not seriously affect the shipyard as power would be supplied by tbe grid system. Damage to both the power grid and the municipal plant would seriously reduce production. Damage to* the municipal and shipyard generating plants and to the power grid would virtually haltin the shipyard.
The principal raw materials required fox production are available through relatively short hauls by rail or water.
In prewar years, unknown amounts of raw materials for tbe shipyard's smelting and casting plants were obtained from the following

The main body of this report was compiled chiefly froa postwar intelligence* aerial photography- Prewar production reports were used to indicate postwar potentialities, assuming that the shipyard was reconstructed to at least duplicate prewar capabilities.
The designation of building and shop use and the description of facilitiesigest of the many postwar reports contained in the consolidated plant folder in the Industrial Register.
The layout of the shipyard was made from the same consolidation, but using enlarged aerial photographs to fix the position of installations.

UrVDB B
gaps ib imtbi-ugebce
Information on plant reconstruction since World Wax II is very poor, and data on current production are practically nonexistent.
The high sensitivity of the shipyard's production in the Soviet naval program caused rigid security measures to be Invoked during tho reconstruction period.
Little is known about the actual machinery and equipment inside shops. Tbe use of buildings and the technology employed in production can only be deduced from vague references and limited data.
Although this report contains Information up toola available as to development within the shipyard after
The major gaps are those pertaining to the development of buildings,and facilities sinceources of raw, semifinished, and finished material; destinations of products; production, availability and skill of manpower, budgets; and technological process.
1. Evaluation of Sources.

American Apparel T-shirts are made with 100% fine jersey cotton combed for softness and comfort. (Athletic Grey and Athletic Blue contain 50% polyester / 25% cotton / 25% rayon)
This is a montage portrait of Pintsizevillan's instagram feed. She commented on an artwork of mine and after looking at her feed I became inspired and asked if I could draw a montage from her pictures. She enthusiastically agreed and this is the result.

Stay safe!

Features No 103-The meaning of life,Watson..."What is the meaning of it, Watson? said Holmes solemnly
as he laid down the paper.
"What object is served by this circle of misery and violence and fear?
It must tend to some end, or else our universe is ruled by chance, which is unthinkable.
But what end?
There is the great standing perennial problem to which
human reason is as far from an answer as ever."
― Arthur Conan Doyle, The Adventure of the Cardboard Box

The series was tied 3-3, and the Hawks would have been the first No. 8 seed to win a game 7 in playoff history. But, that didn't happen.
The No. 1 seed Pacers will face the Washington Wizards in the second round.

New project aims to explore Dorset landscape through activities and events
3:00pm Sunday 30th March 2014 in News
PEOPLE interested in Dorset's natural beauty can walk in artists' footsteps with a new project aimed at exploring the local landscape.
Next month sees the launch of the 'Drawing Inspiration' venture which will see a programme of exhibitions, events and activities celebrating the beauty of the Dorset landscape, past and present.
The pioneering project has been organised by Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with additional funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, and aims to get people across Dorset to experience the places that have inspired artists.
'Drawing Inspiration' has been working with museums, artists and environmental organisations across the county to put together an exciting programme of events which aim to explore and discover special factors about the Dorset landscape.
Project coordinator Crystal Johnson said: "We have a fantastic range of different events, there is something for everyone.
"Take a walk, visit an exhibition, join a workshop, listen to a talk – immerse yourself in the beauty of the Dorset landscape and experience first-hand the places where artists have truly drawn inspiration."
Over the centuries, Dorset's landscapes have inspired many artists, and 'Drawing Inspiration' is shining the spotlight on some of these inspiring artworks from the past. These images describe the physical landscape and are also able to show the cultural and social changes that have shaped how we live today.
Many exhibitions open at the beginning of April and the first event includes a free talk by Professor Chris Paul on The Great Landslip of 1839.
The talk is due to take place at The Guildhall, Lyme Regis at 2.30pm on April 2.
Another event includes a talk by artist John Walker on the Dorset landscape and the romantic imagination in the twentieth century, which will take place at Dorset County Museum on April 3 from 7pm.

Australia to ban giant fishing trawler
Mon, 09/10/2012 - 9:25pm
SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia plans to block a controversial "super trawler" from fishing in its waters for two years in a victory for environmental activists worried about the impact on fish stocks and other marine life.
Australian Environment Minister Tony Burke will introduce legislation on Tuesday to give him the power to ban the vessel from fishing until more scientific research is carried out.
Burke said there was too much uncertainty surrounding the environmental impact of the 142 meter (466 foot) trawler, reportedly the world's second-largest fishing vessel.
