Slings and Arrows (2003–2006)
Cyril: [singing, with friend joining in on the chorus] Cheer up, Hamlet; chin up, Hamlet; buck up, you melancholy Dane! So your uncle is a cad who murdered Dad and married Mum. That's really no excuse to be as glum as you've become! So wise up, Hamlet; rise up, Hamlet; perk up and sing a new refrain. Your incessant monologizing fills the castle with ennui. Your antic disposition is embarrassing to see. And by the way, you sulky brat, the answer is to be! You're driving poor Ophelia insane. So shut up, you rogue and peasant; grow up, it's most unpleasant; cheer up, you melancholy Dane!
Richard Smith-Jones: I can't comfort you right now - I'm on hold.
Anna Conroy: [holding Oliver's skull] It's not that heavy at all!
Geoffrey Tennant: It's much lighter without the ego.
Richard Smith-Jones: Darren, everyone cries when they're stabbed. There's no shame in that!
Sloan: Okay, so why'd you kick another guy's ass for disparaging a girl you're not even with any more?
Geoffrey Tennant: Do you love Ellen?
Sloan: Fuckin' right!
Geoffrey Tennant: Well, if you feel the same way now as I did seven years ago, then you're going to spend the rest of your life kicking other people's asses for her whether you're with her or not. That's just how truly horrible life can be.
Cyril: [about Geoffrey] He's doing the rounds. He saw the Chekov on Tuesday. He was at the Dream last night.
Frank: No!
Cyril: Yeah. There he was. Third raw from the back. Head burried in his hands like he lost a brother in the war.
Frank: Crikey. He wouldn't recast, would he?
Cyril: Not the Dream, no. But God knows what he'll do with Oliver's Hamlet. Play the lead himself.
Frank: You think?
Cyril: Oh, why not? It was the play that drow him mad. Seven years ago. I saw it all with me own eyes. Halfway through the gravedigger scene he suddenly went all quiet and pale.
Frank: He went off?
Cyril: Off his nut. Then he leaped.
Frank: Leaped?
Cyril: Into the grave, Ducky. Into Ophelia's bloody grave. Leaving Horatio and Laertes staring down into the hole as if they just made a wish.
Frank: Crikey.
Cyril: Crikey indeed. Then he went screaming out into the night, mad as a hatter.
Frank: Well, he's been to hospital. Had treatments. Maybe he's better.
Cyril: Or maybe he's worse. Hey up. Here she comes.
Geoffrey Tennant: Carlsberg.
[looks at Oliver's skull]
Geoffrey Tennant: Two Carlsberg.
Frank: Crikey.
Cyril: Bloody hell.

Brett Anderson, acquired in December 2007 from the Arizona Diamondbacks as part of the package for All-Star Dan Haren, has anchored the Oakland A's rotation during his three major league seasons with Oakland. Anderson began his time in the A's chain with the High-A Stockton Ports in 2008 and by Opening Day 2009, he was in the big leagues. As a rookie, Anderson struck-out 150 in his 175.1 innings pitched. In 2010 injuries limited Anderson to only 19 starts for the A's, and he amassed a 1.8 WAR for the season.
Hopes were high for Anderson in 2011, but his season was cut short with a nagging elbow injury that ultimately resulted in Tommy John surgery. Like most Tommy John recipients, Anderson was given a 12-18 month recovery window. Following an offseason rehabilitation program and numerous bullpen sessions/simulated games, Anderson returned to live game action roughly 13 months after his last big league start in Boston.
Anderson's opponent in his first rehab game, the High Desert Mavericks, lead the California League in offense, and proved a decent challenge for Anderson, who battled through his nerves to pitch two relatively solid innings.
Anderson began his evening by inducing a groundball back towards the mound on his second offering and then produced another grounder to second baseman Ryan Pineda for the second out. A fly ball to center ended Anderson's brief first inning, as he retired the side on seven pitches.
The second frame would present a challenge for the lefty, whose first offering was softly tapped into right field for a hit. After a pop-up corralled in foul territory by first baseman A.J. Kirby-Jones and a groundball out to short, the inning got away from Anderson and the Ports a bit. With two away, High Desert's Mike McGee caught-up with an Anderson fastball and walloped it into right-center to score a run. Anderson would then misplay a groundball that came back towards the mound. An infield single would plate a second run before Anderson hit James Jones on his hand on a fastball that curled inside. Anderson would induce a fly-out to prevent any further damage and completed his evening with the following line: 2 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 35 pitches (20 strikes), 3 GB/2 FB.
Although the outing wasn't perfect, Anderson appeared optimistic about his future after his performance and viewed his outing as a big step towards returning to his usual form.
"It felt pretty good," Anderson said. "It felt like I hadn't pitched in a game that mattered for about a year. But, it just felt good to get out there. That first inning was about as easy and clean as they come.
"In the second inning I gave up some infield singles and had one bad pitch 3-2 and gave up the double, but for not pitching in a year my arm felt good and it's only getting better. The results will come in time."
Anderson said the outing gave him some peace of mind.
"I can focus on my pitches now instead of my arm health," Anderson said.
"That stuff is kind of secondary now and I can focus on getting back to pitching in the big leagues like I know how. It's going to be a little bit of a process like today, but you know, I'm going to get there."
Rust played a factor in Anderson's outing.
"Everything was a little bit erratic which I thought it was going to be," he said.
"In the first inning, my fastball command was pretty good. My slider was kind-of non-existent today, I threw one good one, quality one, but probably threw 90% fastballs. It was kind of running out of my hand a little bit and jumping more than I'm used to. I got some adrenaline going and it started taking off a little bit."
The rehab appearance coupled with a fireworks night led to a big crowd (4,466 was the announced attendance) at Stockton's Banner Island Ballpark. Anderson said pitching in front of a crowd was another important moment in his rehab.
"I didn't quite have the same amount of adrenaline in my bullpens or in Arizona when there was no one there," Anderson said. "But it's good to get a crowd behind you and face hitters that aren't a part of your organization. It's just one step in the process."
The former supplemental first-round pick has a check-list of things to improve on in his next rehab start.
"My fastball command has been there in my bullpens and stuff, but getting the sharpness in my breaking ball and getting that back to where it's been my bread and butter along with my slider my whole career," Anderson said.
"I need to get my arm strength and hand speed to do what I need to do and that's going to take the longest I think. You know, it's probably 50/50 today and hopefully you can get better and better as I get more rehab starts going."
It had been four years since Anderson last pitched for Stockton, and pitching at Banner Island Ballpark brought back memories.
"It's kind of like déjà vu. I forgot how bad the sun was here in Stockton, you know, the first two innings you just pitch and pray," he said.
"You know, there was a pretty good crowd in Stockton especially with what's happening in Oakland and get some fans down here. It's just the first step in the process, my arm feels good and hopefully it feels good tomorrow so I can go into my next outing and build off of today."
- The Ports would go on to lose the game, 8-3.
- Nate Long, Ian Krol, Pedro Vidal and Zach Thornton all pitched after Anderson. Long struck-out four and Krol tossed two hitless innings with three strike-outs.
- Josh Whitaker hit his 19th homerun. Dusty Robinson doubled twice and Michael Gilmartin had two hits in the loss.

TORONTO -- They went out with a win, but it wasn't enough to keep the Toronto Raptors from sliding out of the NBA playoffs.
DeMar DeRozan scored a career-high 24 points and the Raptors beat the New York Knicks 131-113 on Wednesday night, a victory that became meaningless when Chicago won at Charlotte to clinch the final Eastern Conference playoff berth.
"We did what we were supposed to do and we didn't get any help," Raptors coach Jay Triano said.
Andrea Bargnani also scored 24 for the Raptors, who finished 40-42, a game behind the Bulls. Toronto owned the tiebreaker and would have earned the No. 8 seed had the teams finished with the same record.
"It hurts," Toronto guard Jarrett Jack said. "There's really no other way to put it. We had opportunities, we controlled our destiny as far as the postseason was concerned, and we let that slip through our fingers."
Amir Johnson scored 21 points, Sonny Weems had 18, Jose Calderon had 15 and Marco Belinelli 14 for the Raptors. Toronto's 131 points were a season high.
Toronto's coaches and players looked in on the Bulls game at halftime but found the Bobcats trailing by 14.
"You could see that Charlotte was playing restricted minutes for most of their guys," Triano said. "You kind of knew it wasn't going to get too much closer."
Just over a minute remained in that game by the time the Raptors finished off the Knicks and returned to their locker room, but the Bulls still led by double digits.
"It's very disappointing," DeRozan said. "We laid everything on the line. You can't take away from Chicago. They did the same thing and they got the better end of the stick."
Toronto was 29-23 and fifth in the East after beating Philadelphia on Feb. 10. But the Raptors lost 11 of 15 following the All-Star break, losing Chris Bosh for seven games when he sprained his left ankle.
Another five-game skid late in the season, one that ended with a 104-88 home loss to the Bulls on Sunday, all but sealed Toronto's fate.
"You can't be complacent," Jack said. "We kind of got comfortable a little bit in our position and in this league you can't do that. There's always another team that's gaining ground. You've got to understand that teams typically play their best basketball right after the All-Star break and they're going to make a run. That's pretty much what happened."
Bill Walker scored a career-high 28 points and Danilo Gallinari added 22 as the Knicks wrapped up their third straight 50-loss season and their sixth year in a row without a postseason berth.
"I'm relieved to have the season over," New York's David Lee said. "We've known for a little while that we're not going to make the playoffs. We tried to finish out the right way but today was not our best effort, especially defensively."
Lee had 19 points and 11 rebounds in what could be his final game with New York. The Knicks plan to be active in free agency, and it's not known if retaining Lee is a priority since the team will be able to afford two top-level players.
"It's going to be a very interesting offseason in the whole NBA, not just in New York," Lee said. "A lot of teams have cap space and a lot of teams are looking to make changes."
The Knicks, for some time now, have targeted this summer as an opportunity to spend big in an effort to revive the team.
"That's what it's kind of set up for and that's what we're looking for," coach Mike D'Antoni said. "If it works, we'll be the happiest people in the world. If not, then c'est la vie and we have to do what we can do."
Bosh took a seat on the Toronto bench midway through the opening quarter, his first appearance since suffering two facial fractures in an April 6 game at Cleveland and undergoing nasal surgery. Asked about Bosh's status before the game, Triano said, "I don't think there's anything in the next week for him."
Bosh was not on Toronto's bench in the third quarter, but returned for the fourth. It could have been his last time on the Raptors' side, since he can become one of the most attractive free agents available in July.
Jack, who played with Bosh at Georgia Tech, said the two will likely sit down soon to discuss the future.
"We'll go back and forth and I'm sure we're going to discuss the pros and cons of staying and leaving," Jack said. "I'm going to let him know that if he wants to come back, we'll definitely accept him with open arms."
Toronto led 29-19 with 2:41 left in the first, but Walker and Gallinari each made 3-pointers as the Knicks cut it to 33-30 after one.
The Raptors opened the second with an 11-4 run, pushing their lead back to 10 points at 44-34 and forcing the Knicks to call timeout. Johnson scored 11 in the second as Toronto maintained a double digit edge for much of the quarter, but a 3-pointer by Toney Douglas made it 73-64 at the half.
DeRozan scored 11 points in the third and Calderon added nine as the Raptors took a 105-94 lead into the fourth.
DeRozan matched his career high with nine rebounds. ... Weems started for Toronto despite leaving Monday's win at Detroit with a sore right ankle. ... The Knicks shot 15 for 33 from 3-point range.

I'm a sentimental gal. I cry during even the hokiest of TV and movie moments. If there's someone kissing/dying/reuniting/being born on TV, I'm probably crying. If there are violins in the background, I'm probably sobbing. That's just how it works.
The first time I cried over a movie, I was watching Beethoven (the slobbery St. Bernard, not the composer). I've been an emotional wreck during many a film and TV show ever since.
Sometimes I'll just let the tears roll silently down my face, hoping to not draw attention to the fact that I'm crying while watching Bones, of all things. Yep, I cry during a crime drama – regularly. Ain't no shame. Except, there is actually a bit of shame (see: silent tears).
Anyway, with all of my crying over fictional characters, you can imagine how sentimental I get about people and things I actually know and care about.
Like my puppy. God, I love him. I love him so much I almost want a bumper magnet that says "honk if you love Weimaraners!" and a sign on my garage that says "Weimaraner X-ing". Except I don't.
What I really want is to show pride and love for my puppy without completely embarrassing myself.
What I want is something a little more classic…like a silhouette of his distinctive profile.
The awesome thing about a silhouette is if you create it digitally, you can make it once and re-purpose it over and over again.
Now that I've captured his silhouette, that's exactly what I plan to do. But the first order of business is to make a silhouette Christmas ornament.
Christmas is inching ever closer and I want to make something to commemorate our first Christmas with Beecher. Yes, I'm insane.
Even better? You don't have to be a crazy dog lady like me to make use of this tutorial. Substitute super cute puppy for super cute baby/child/husband/cat/self and you've got one tutorial that you can use regardless of your subject.
Ready? Here's what you'll need:
- Camera
- Photoshop or other digital imaging software (keep reading below for a low-tech alternative)
- Printer & paper
- Scissors
- A thin wooden circle or oval (I found these in the wood crafts aisle at Michaels)
- Small paint brush
- Acrylic paint in a colour of your choice for the ornament's background (I went with Martha Stewart's satin-finish paint in Summer Linen)
- Mod podge
- A drill
- Ribbon or embroidery thread in a colour of your choice
Now, here's what I did. First I brought Beecher over to a bright window and told him to sit (Matt is standing in front of him, just outside of the frame, enticing him to look straight ahead and not at me).
I opened up the photo in Photoshop and used the extraction tool (under Filter > Extract) to trace around Beecher's head. There's more than one way to get this done; you can also desaturate the image and play with the brightness and contrast (a method used by the Petersiks). You can get similar results by printing the photo, cutting out the silhouette, tracing the silhouette onto black paper or cardstock, and then cutting the traced silhouette out of the construction paper.
Add any extra details you deem necessary. I added the outline of Beecher's floppy ears because they're so distinctive.
I printed out the silhouette in the size I needed, grabbed my scissors, and cut out the silhouette, using my scissors to smooth out any roughness or imperfections in the silhouette's outline.
Then it was time to prep the ornament's wooden base. (See those extras? I'm hoping to continue the silhouette theme later on by making ornaments with silhouettes of snowflakes.)
I took my wooden oval and painted it with several coats of acrylic paint until it reached a shade of off-white (or summer linen, as Martha so charmingly calls it) I was happy with.
I removed the silhouette from the wood (just for the moment), opened my bottle of Mod Podge, dipped just the tip of my paintbrush in it, and brushed a thin layer of it over the top of the wood. Then I put a thin coat of Mod Podge on the back of the silhouette.
Working quickly, I put Beecher's silhouette on the Mod-Podged-wood, adjusting it to make sure it was placed right where I wanted it. Then I used my thumbs to smooth it for a good minute or two to smooth out any air trapped beneath the silhouette and prevent air bubbles from forming.
I let the silhouette and ornament dry for about half an hour, then painted another very thin coat of Mod Podge over top of the silhouette and wood. I let this coat dry for about an hour. I repeated this over and over and over until the silhouette was nicely sealed onto the ornament (it took me about 8 coats). When it's done, the top of the ornament won't feel like wood anymore – it'll be nice and smooth. This is a tedious process, but it's totally worth it because the thin coats and the lengthy drying times between coats keep the Mod Podge from becoming sticky.
I drilled a small hole near the top of the ornament, threaded embroidery floss through it, and tied it off.
Finito! All that was left to do was admire the sweetness of my new keepsake ornament. Now, if only we had a Christmas tree to hang it on…
Have you joined in the silhouette craze? Are you a crazy dog person like me? Does anyone else cry like a baby while watching Bones? Please tell me I'm not alone!

(The Root) — In 1935, when Congress passed the Social Security Act, supporters declared it one of the pivotal moments in the country's history.
The act, which created a guaranteed income source for most American workers during retirement, was a declaration of the country's faith that the economy would not only rebound from the Great Depression but also flourish.
But for black workers, there was just one problem.
In order to secure the support of a contingent of Southern Democrats in Congress, the Roosevelt administration — architects of many of the policies that continue to govern work, pay and workplace conditions today — struck a deal. Domestic workers and farmhands — domestic work and farming were fields in which nearly two-thirds of all blacks were employed at the time — were excluded. A full 65 percent of black American workers got nothing. No guaranteed retirement. No guaranteed income in old age. The exclusion remained in place until the 1950s.
It's just another example of the uphill climb that black workers have faced throughout history. Indeed, the real story of work in the United States is one that includes slavery, along with other forms of exploitation and unfair treatment that have always rendered some workers better paid and more often recognized and rewarded. And those divisions have often occurred along racial lines. That history makes the state of the black worker in 2013 worthy of a closer look this Labor Day.
"Black unemployment is and has long been a crisis, but somehow unseen or at least largely misunderstood," says Algernon Austin, director of the Washington, D.C.-based Economic Policy Institute's Program on Race, Ethnicity, and the Economy. "The worst levels of unemployment experienced by whites nationally correspond to the absolute best that blacks have ever experienced in the last 50 years."
Still, some of the news is good.
* Despite persistent rumors to the contrary, a large share of the black population is employed or actively seeking work. In fact, when the Department of Labor released its first comprehensive, postrecession look at black workers, it found that in 2011, blacks made up roughly 13 percent of the nation's population and more than 11 percent of the country's workforce. That trend has continued.
* While black unemployment remains elevated, it is improving. In July, the most recent month for which detailed national information (pdf) is available, 12.6 percent of black workers (pdf), or roughly 2.35 million men, women and teens, remained unemployed. Black unemployment has edged downward for much of 2013. It has also dropped off sharply from a high of 16.5 percent, which it reached in January 2010.
* Educational-attainment levels, the term that economists use to describe just how far individuals go in school, continue to climb. In fact, nearly 85 percent of black Americans over the age of 25 have completed high school, and just over 20 percent have a bachelor's degree or more, according to the most recent federal data. Both figures have climbed considerably in the last two decades. In addition, the share of black students completing college or graduate degrees has nearly doubled.
* Education boosts most workers' wages and has, to a limited degree, narrowed the nation's racial income gap. Black workers have also become the most unionized portion of the American workforce. Although opinions vary about the value of union membership, when it comes to pay, the benefits are clear and indisputable.
But the fight continues for equal pay; access to new, developing and high-paying industries; and on-the-job advancement. Here are some ways that African Americans are still left behind in the workforce.

This WORKS!
i get asked daily if my eyelashes are real which is all thanks to this product! After 4 weeks i really noticed my lashes were alot longer and thicker! this product is expensive but totally worth it, but when you compare it to eye lash extensions it really isnt!

I'm impressed
It's been close to a month now and I'm impressed with this. My eyelashes is noticeable thicker and longer and just recently I've decided to apply this on my lower lash as well, yes only thought of that recently, so silly of me 😂. So even though the price is quite on the upper side, I would repurchase. Overall really works.

Works Well
Works as promised! Longer lashes!! But doesn't give much volume and very costly. As you need very little product for each use, one tube can last a long time. I find that it does stain my eye area when I apply the product but not very obvious.

Doesn't irritate eyes
I watched a video with instructions on how to apply this - you are not supposed to apply it directly onto your lash line - it should be applied onto your lashes but close to the root of your lashes. I don't think you should apply it to your lower lash line, but I read that some people applied with no issues so it depends on individuals I guess. I am hoping to see effects after 3 weeks.
Was this review helpful?
After just two weeks of using Revitalash, I noticed my eyelashes seem to be longer. Upon the third-fourth week that's when I noticed that they seem to be getting thicker too. Only problem is I developed dark circles from this product since I use it on my lower lash line as well.

Irritation around my eyes
Used it for 2 days now and after 2 days, my eyes feel a bit itchy and touching and putting on moisturizer made the skin around my eyes sting a bit (it usually doesn't sting when I apply my eye moisturizer) so I am attributing that to this revitalash. I have stopped using it today due to the irritation but might try it again when my skin goes back to normal. I also noticed that there is redness on the skin around my eyes, which may be due to this product or due to me rubbing my eye area. WIll update this review if I notice my eye lashes growing longer.

Not seeing results yet
I've heard so many rave reviews about this eyelash serum. Been using it for 2 weeks but still don't see a massive improvement. It does sting my eyes a little and make them more dry, but that's just my sensitive eyes. The instructions say you will see a difference immediately (-__-""") but you really don't. Will update after 2 more weeks.

does what it says
this is a very pricey product but i have used this before (did not buy from luxola) and i would say that this works. I had really short and sparse lashes awhile ago due to a lash extension accident (hah) and bought this when i was in the US due to the good reviews and it really did help with my lash growth. purchasing this again (get the larger bottle for better value but it was sold out) as i have ran out of it.

The effectiveness of constructing Lyapunov functions in the attractors dimension theory is theory of the dimension demonstrated. Formulae for the Lyapunov dimension of the Lorenz, Hénon and Chirikov attractors are derived and proved. A hypothesis regarding the formula for the dimension of the Rössler attractor is formulated. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Two formulations of elastoplastic problems and the theoretical determination of the location of neck formation in samples under tensionD. V. Berezhnoi | V. N. Paimushin
Volume 75, Issue 4, October 2011, Pages 447-462
Two formulations of elastoplastic problems in the mechanics of deformable solids with finite displacements and deformations are investigated. The first of these is formulated starting from the classical geometrically non-linear equations of the theory of elasticity and plasticity, in which the components of the Cauchy-Green strain tensor, associated with the components of the conditional stress tensor by physically non-linear relations according to flow theory in the simplest version of their representation, are taken as a measure of the deformations. The second formulation is based on the introduction of the true tensile and shear strains which, according to Novoshilov, are associated with the components of the true stresses by physical relations of the above-mentioned form. It is shown that, in the second version of the formulation of the problem, the use of the corresponding equations, complied taking account of the elastoplastic properties of the material with correct modelling of the ends of cylindrical samples and the method of loading (stretching) them, enables the location of the formation of a neck to be determined theoretically and enables the initial stage of its formation to be described without making any assumptions regarding the existence of initial irregularities in the geometry of the samples. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

A bilateral asymptotic method of solving the integral equation of the contact problem of the torsion of an elastic half-space inhomogeneous in depthS. M. Aizikovich | A. S. Vasiliev
Volume 77, Issue 1, May 2013, Pages 91-97
An approximate semi-analytical method for solving integral equations generated by mixed problems of the theory of elasticity for inhomogeneous media is developed. An effective algorithm for constructing approximations of transforms of the kernels of integral equations by analytical expressions of a special type is proposed, and closed analytical solutions are presented. A comparative analysis of the approximation algorithms is given. The accuracy of the method is analysed using the example of the contact problem of the torsion of a medium with a non-uniform coating by a stiff circular punch. The relation between the error of the approximation of the transform of a kernel by special analytical expressions, constructed using different algorithms and the error of approximate solutions of the corresponding contact problems is investigated using a numerical experiment. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Analysis and optimization of the rectilinear motion of a two-body systemF. L. Chernous'Ko
Volume 75, Issue 5, December 2011, Pages 493-500
The rectilinear motion of a system of two interacting bodies when there is a dry friction force acting on both of them is considered. It is assumed that the relative velocity of the bodies can vary practically instantaneously, while the distance between them has upper and lower limits. The periodic motion of the system as a whole is constructed, and the mean velocity of motion and the energy costs per unit of path are determined. The optimum values of the parameters for which the highest mean velocity is reached with the superimposed limitations are obtained. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Analysis of finite-time convergence by the method of Lyapunov functions in systems with second-order sliding modesA. S. Poznyak | A. Ye Polyakov | V. V. Strygin
Volume 75, Issue 3, August 2011, Pages 289-303
A method for constructing Lyapunov functions for analysing of control systems with second-order sliding modes is proposed. It is based on solving a special partial differential equation and enables Lyapunov functions to be constructed that prove that a system transfers into a sliding mode after a finite time and give an explicit estimate of this time. The method is illustrated for three known second order sliding algorithms. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
A film coating on a rough surface of an elastic bodyM. A. Grekov | S. A. Kostyrko
Volume 77, Issue 1, May 2013, Pages 79-90
A solution of the plane problem of the theory of elasticity for a film-substrate composite is solved by a perturbation method for a substrate with a rough surface. An algorithm for calculating any approximation, which ultimately leads to the solution of the same Fredholm equation of the second kind, is given. Formulae for calculating the right-hand side of this equation, which depends on all the preceding approximations, are derived. An exact solution of the integral equation in the form of Fourier series, whose coefficients are expressed in quadratures, is given in the case of a substrate with a periodically curved surface. The stresses on the flat surface of the film and on the interfacial surface are found in a first approximation as functions of the form of bending of the surface, the mean thickness of the film and the ratio of Young's moduli of the film and the substrate. It is shown, in particular, that the greatest stress concentration on the film surface occures on a protrusion of the softer substrate. ©2013 © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Gravitational stabilization of a satellite using a movable massV. S. Aslanov | S. P. Bezglasnyi
Volume 76, Issue 4, October 2012, Pages 405-412
The plane motion of an axisymmetric satellite with a small movable mass on its axis of symmetry is examined, and the equation of the motion of this system in an elliptical orbit is derived. Problems regarding the gravitational stabilization of two diametrically opposite relative equilibrium positions of the satellite in a circular orbit to in-plane perturbations are investigated. A continuous law for controlling the movable mass, which ensures stabilization of the axis of symmetry of the satellite to the local vertical and reorientation of the satellite by moving it from one stable equilibrium position to the other, is constructed using the swing-by technique. A solution is obtained by using the second method of classical stability theory and constructing the corresponding Lyapunov functions. The asymptotic convergence of the solutions with the control obtained is confirmed by the results of numerical simulation of the motion of the system. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
The contact problem for an elastic strip and a wavy punch when there is friction and wearI. A. Soldatenkov
Volume 75, Issue 1, June 2011, Pages 85-92
The plane problem of the mutual wear of a wavy punch and an elastic strip, bonded to an undeformable foundation under the condition of complete contact between the punch and the strip is considered. An analytical expression for the contact pressure is constructed using the general Papkovich-Neuber solution, the two harmonic functions in which are represented in the form of Fourier integrals after which the problem reduces to a non-linear system of differential equations. In the case of a small degree of wear of the strip, this system becomes linear and admits of a solution in explicit form. The harmonics, constituting the profile of the punch and the contact pressure, move along the strip with respect to one another and are shifted in time. Conditions are obtained that ensure the hermetic nature of the contact between the wavy punch and the strip when there is friction and wear. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Stability of the collinear libration points of the photogravitational three-body problem with an internal fourth order resonanceN. V. Tkhai
Volume 76, Issue 4, October 2012, Pages 441-445
The problem of the stability of the collinear libration points of the photogravitational three-body problem is considered. It is shown that these points are stable in a Lyapunov sense in the case of a fourth-order resonance. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Two types of interface defectsM. A. Grekov
Volume 75, Issue 4, October 2011, Pages 476-488
The solution of a plane problem in the theory of elasticity for a two-component body with an interface, a finite part of which is either weakly distorted or is a weakly curved crack is constructed using the perturbation method. In the first case, it is assumed that the discontinuities in the forces and displacements at the interface are known, and, in the second case, the non-equilibrium nature of the load in the crack is taken into account. General quadrature formulae are derived for the complex potentials, which enable any approximation to be obtained in terms of elementary functions in many important practical cases. An algorithm is indicated for calculating each approximation. Families of defects are studied, the form of which is determined by power functions. The effect of the amplitude of the distortion and the shape of the interface crack on the Cherepanov-Rice integral as well as the shape of the distorted part of the interface on the stress concentration is investigated in the first approximation. An analysis of the applicability of the oscillating solution for a distorted interface crack is carried out. The results of the calculations are shown in the form of graphical relations. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Active orientation of a gyrostat with variable moments of inertiaS. P. Bezglasnyi
Volume 78, Issue 6, January 2014, Pages 551-559
© 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.The problem of the uniaxial and triaxial orientation of a balanced gyrostat with time-dependent moments of inertia relative to König and non-inertial systems of coordinates is considered. An active stabilizing control is constructed analytically in a class of continuous functions according to a feedback principle, and the conditions under which a desirable orientation that has the property of asymptotic stability is possible are determined. The method of Lyapunov functions and the method of limit equations and limit systems, which enables Lyapunov functions with sign-constant derivatives to be employed, are used. An example of the numerical simulation of the triaxial orientation of a gyrostat is presented.
The theory of micropolar thin elastic shellsS. O. Sargsyan
Volume 76, Issue 2, June 2012, Pages 235-249
A boundary-value problem of the three-dimensional micropolar, asymmetric, moment theory of elasticity with free rotation is investigated in the case of a thin shell. It is assumed that the general stress-strain state (SSS) is comprised of an internal SSS and boundary layers. An asymptotic method of integrating a three-dimensional boundary-value problem of the micropolar theory of elasticity with free rotation is used for their approximate determination. Three different asymptotics are constructed for this problem, depending on the values of the dimensionless physical parameters. The initial approximation for the first asymptotics leads to the theory of micropolar shells with free rotation, the approximation for the second leads to the theory of micropolar shells with constrained rotation and the approximation for the third asymptotics leads to the so-called theory of micropolar shells "with a small shear stiffness". Micropolar boundary layers are constructed. The problem of the matching of the internal problem and the boundary-layer solutions is investigated. The two-dimensional boundary conditions for the above-mentioned theories of micropolar shells are determined. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
The virtual mass of a sphere in a suspension of spherical particlesO. B. Gus'Kov
Volume 76, Issue 1, April 2012, Pages 93-97
The problem of the virtual mass of a sphere, moving in an ideal incompressible fluid when there are other identical spherical particles of arbitrary mass present is considered. A solution is constructed for the velocity potential of the fluid in the form of the superposition of perturbation fields, introduced into the flow by each of the particles. The perturbation fields are obtained in the form of functional series, the coefficients of which are mutually consistent by a defined system of equations. An explicit expression is obtained for the hydrodynamic force acting on the sphere in the form of a function of the coordinates of all the particles. A simple analytical dependence of the mean value of the force and the virtual mass of the sphere on the particle-to-fluid density ratio in a first approximation of the volume fraction of the dispersed phase is obtained for a statistically uniform distribution of the dispersed particles in the suspension, using the procedure of averaging over their different possible configurations in space. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

The tracking of the trajectory of a dynamical systemV. I. Maksimov
Volume 75, Issue 6, December 2011, Pages 667-674
The problem of tracking the trajectory of a dynamical system, described by a vector differential equation, is considered. An algorithm for solving this problem, based on the Krasovskii extremal shift method, well-known in position control theory, is proposed. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
A mechanical system containing weakly coupled subsystemsV. N. Tkhai
Volume 77, Issue 6, January 2013, Pages 588-594
The concept of a mechanical system (model), containing coupled subsystems (MSCCS) is introduced. Examples of such a system are the Sun-planets-satellites system, a system of interacting moving objects, a system of translationally and rotationally moving celestial bodies, chains of coupled oscillators, Sommerfeld pendulums, spring systems, etc. The MSCCS subsystems and the entire system are analysed, and problems related to the investigation of the oscillations, bifurcation, stability, stabilization and resonance are stated. A solution of the oscillations problem is given for a class of MSCCS, described by reversible mechanical systems. It is proved that the autonomous MSCCS retains its family of symmetrical periodic motions (SPMs) under parametric perturbations, while in the periodic MSCCS a family of SPMs bifurcates by producing two families of SPMs. The two-body problem and the N-planet problem are investigated as applications. The generating properties of the two-body problem are established. For the N-planet problem it is proved that an (N + 1)-parametric family of orbits exists, close to elliptic orbits of arbitrary eccentricity, the family being parametrized by energy integral constant, and a syzygy of planets occurs. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
A qualitative analysis of the dynamics of a disc on an inclined plane with frictionA. V. Karapetyan | A. M. Rusinova
Volume 75, Issue 5, December 2011, Pages 511-516
The problem of the motion of a disc on an inclined plane with dry friction is investigated. It is shown that, if the friction coefficient is greater than the slope of the plane, the disk will come to rest after a certain finite time, and its sliding and rotation will cease simultaneously. The limit position of the instantaneous centre of velocities is indicated. The limit motions of the disc in the case when the ratio of the friction coefficient to the slope of the plane is equal to or less than unity: uniform sliding (in the case of a general position) and equiaccelerated sliding (always) of the disc along the line of greatest slope of the plane, respectively, are obtained. The case when the friction coefficient is equal to the slope, while the initial sliding velocity is directed upwards along the line of greatest slope, is an exception. In this case, the disc comes to rest after a finite time, and the sliding velocity and the angular velocity of the disc vanish simultaneously. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Optimal control of the rectilinear motion of a two-body system in a resistive mediumN. N. Bolotnik | T. Yu Figurina | F. L. Chernous'Ko
Volume 76, Issue 1, April 2012, Pages 1-14
The rectilinear motion of a two-body system is considered. One of the bodies (the main body) interacts with a resistive environment, while the other body (the internal body) interacts with the main body but does not interact with the environment. The force applied to the internal body leads to a reaction that acts on the main body and produces a change in its velocity, which causes a change in the resistance of the environment to the motion of the main body. Thus, by controlling the motion of the internal body, one can control the external force acting on the main body and, as a consequence, the motion of the entire system. A periodic motion of the internal body relative to the main body, which generates the motion of the main body with periodically changing velocity and the maximum displacement for the period, is constructed for a wide class of laws of resistance of the environment to the motion of the main body. The principle of motion considered is appropriate for mobile mini- and micro-robots. The body (housing) of such robots can be hemetically sealed and smooth, without protruding parts, which enables these robots to be used for the non-destructive inspection of miniature engineering structures such as thin pipe-lines, as well as in medicine. Problems of optimizing the control modes for such systems are of interest both to researchers in the field of optimal control and to specialists in applied mechanics and robotics. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Limit oscillatory cycles in the single mode flutter of a plateV. V. Vedeneev
Volume 77, Issue 3, October 2013, Pages 257-267
The development of the single mode flutter of an elastic plate in a supersonic gas flow is investigated in a non-linear formulation. In the case of a small depression in the instability zone, there is a unique limit cycle corresponding to a unique growing mode. Several new non-resonant limit cycles arise when a second increasing mode appears and the domains of their existence and stability are found. Limit cycles with an internal resonance, in which there is energy exchange between the modes, can exist for the same parameters. Relations between the amplitudes of the limit cycles and the parameters of the problem are obtained that enable one to estimate the risk of the onset of flutter. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Dynamics of an axisymmetric gyrostat satellite. Equilibrium positions and their stabilityS. A. Gutnik | V. A. Sarychev
Volume 78, Issue 3, January 2014, Pages 249-257
© 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.The dynamics of an axisymmetric gyrostat satellite in a circular orbit in the central Newtonian force field is investigated. All the equilibrium positions of the gyrostat satellite in the orbital system of coordinates are determined, and the conditions for their existence are analysed. All the bifurcation values of the system parameters at which the number of equilibrium positions changes are found. It is shown that, depending on the values of the parameters of the problem, the number of equilibrium positions of a gyrostat satellite can be 8, 12 or 16. The evolution of regions where the sufficient conditions for stability of the equilibrium positions hold is investigated.
The law of the dependence of the period of non-linear oscillations on a single parameterV. N. Tkhai
Volume 75, Issue 3, August 2011, Pages 304-307
Single-frequency oscillations of a non-linear autonomous system are considered. It is shown that the oscillation period usually depends on only a single parameter, both in the case of a reversible mechanical system, which allows of first integrals, and in the case of a system of general form. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
A self-consistent field method applied to the dynamics of viscous suspensionsO. B. Gus'Kov
Volume 77, Issue 4, December 2013, Pages 401-411
A method for the approximate solution of the problem of many bodies of spherical form in a viscous fluid is developed in the Stokes approximation. Using a purely hydrodynamic approach, based on the use of the concept of a self-consistent field, the classical boundary value problem is reduced to a formal procedure for solving a linear system of algebraic equations in the tensor coefficients, which occur in the solution obtained for the velocity field and pressure of the liquid. A procedure for the approximate solution of this system of equations is constructed for the case of dilute suspensions, when the ratio of the size of the dispersed particles to the characteristic distance between them is a small parameter. Finally, the initial boundary value problem is reduced to solving a recurrent system of equations, in which each subsequent approximation for all the required quantities depends solely on the previous approximations. The system of recurrent equations obtained can be solved analytically in any specified approximation with respect to a small parameter. It is shown that this system of equations contains in itself all possible physical formulations of the problems, and, within the frameworks of the mathematical procedure constructed, they are distinguished solely by a set of specified and required functions. The practical possibilities of the method are in no way limited by the number of dispersed particles in the fluid. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Auto-balancing of a rotor with an orthotropic elastic shaftB. G. Bykov
Volume 77, Issue 4, December 2013, Pages 369-379
The self-balancing of a statically unbalanced orthotropic elastic rotor equipped with a ball auto-balancing device is investigated. Equations of motion in fixed and rotating systems of coordinates, as well as equations describing steady motions of the regular precession type, are derived using a simple model of a Jeffcott rotor. Formulae for calculating the amplitude-frequency and phase-frequency characteristics of the precessional motion of the rotor are obtained. It is established that the conditions for a steady balanced mode of motion for an orthotropic rotor to exist have the same form as for an isotropic rotor, but the stability region of such a mode for an orthotropic rotor is narrower than the stability region for an isotropic rotor. The unsteady modes of motion of the rotor in the case of rotation with constant angular velocity and in the case of passage through critical velocities with constant angular acceleration is investigated numerically. It is established that the mode of slow passage through the critical region for an orthotropic rotor is far more dangerous than the similar mode for an isotropic rotor. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Cylindrically and spherically symmetrical rapid intense compression of an ideal perfect gas with adiabatic exponents from 1.001 to 3Kh F. Valiyev | A. N. Kraiko
Volume 75, Issue 2, June 2011, Pages 218-226
The problem of the rapid intense cylindrically or spherically symmetrical compression of an ideal (non-viscous and non-heat-conducting) perfect gas with different adiabatic exponents is considered. We mean by rapid and intense a compression in a time much less than the time taken for the sound wave to propagate through the uncompressed target up to temperatures and densities as high as desired. It is found that the solution previously obtained with a focused non-self-similar compression wave at the point where the shock wave is reflected from the axis or centre of symmetry (henceforth the centre of symmetry) holds for adiabatic exponents not exceeding 1.9092 and 1.8698 respectively in the cylindrical and spherical cases. It was not possible to construct a complete solution with focusing at the centre of symmetry for gases with higher adiabatic exponents. On the other hand, one can focus the compression waves into a cylinder or sphere of as small, but finite, radius as desired at the instant of arrival on them, for example, of a special characteristic or reflected shock wave of the Guderley problem. It is shown that for high degrees of compression, the time dependences of the coordinates of the pistons which produce such focusing, and of the gas density on them are close to power laws. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Sound waves in two-fraction polydispersed bubbly mediaD. A. Gubaidullin | Yu V. Fedorov
Volume 77, Issue 5, December 2013, Pages 532-540
The propagation of sound waves in two-fraction mixtures of a liquid with polydisperse gas bubbles of different composition is investigated. A system of differential equations of the perturbed motion of the mixture is presented, and a dispersion relation is derived. The equilibrium velocity of sound, and the low-frequency and high-frequency asymptotic forms of the linear attenuation factor are obtained. The characteristic mean radii of the bubbles are determined. The theory is compared with existing experimental data. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
The effect of surface elasticity and residual surface stress in an elastic body with an elliptic nanoholeM. A. Grekov | A. A. Yazovskaya
Volume 78, Issue 2, January 2014, Pages 172-180
© 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.The deformation of an elastic plane with an elliptic hole in a uniform stress field is considered, taking into account the surface elasticity and the residual surface tension. The solution of the problem, based on the use of the linearized Gurtin-Murdoch surface elasticity relations and the complex Goursat-Kolosov potentials, is reduced to a singular integrodifferential equation. Using the example of a circular hole, for which an exact solution of the equation is obtained in closed form, the effect of the residual surface tension and the surface elasticity on the stress state close to and on the boundary of a nanohole is analysed for uniaxial tension. It is shown that the effect of the residual surface stress and the surface tension, due to deformation of the body, depends on the elastic properties of the surface, the value of the stretching load and the dimensions of the hole.

The biggest challenge for the football team at Gordon this season will be trying to replace 16 seniors. The Rams (5-5) shared the section title with Hales and Leo and advanced to the Catholic League playoffs.
The first test for this inexperienced squad would be a matchup with De La Salle. The Meteors are led by one of the top running backs in the Catholic League, Mikale Wilbon.
Wilbon opened the season with one of the best performances ever on opening day with 331 yards rushing and four touchdowns in a 42-13 win over Lane.
Wilbon turned in another solid effort scoring four touchdowns as De La Salle (2-0) beat Gordon (1-1) 34-0. Wilbon rushed for 171 yards and three touchdowns.
The defense did its job limiting the Rams to only 164 yards of total offense.
Gordon head coach Bill Jeske was impressed with the Meteors.
"I think they are the real deal," Jeske admitted after the loss. "They are a force. Great coaching. Great athletes. One of the better teams you will see."
Speaking of challenges, the Meteors will face Mt.Carmel (2-0) this weekend. Mt. Carmel has won 10 state football championships.
De La Salle jumped out to a 27-0 lead at halftime as Wilbon scored four times. Wilbon scored on long plays of 15, 74, and 35 yards before turning a short pass into a 24-yard touchdown in the second quarter.
Wilbon, who is a junior, will be a player to watch in the next two years.
"He was ahead of everybody as a sophomore," De La Salle head coach Dan O'Keefe said. "The difference between this year and last year is he is stronger and faster."
"He's one of the best I've seen," Jeske stated.
Wilbon ran behind tackle Jamarco Jones. When Wilbon wasn't running behind Jones, he was breaking tackles that turned into long plays and first downs.
"We spend a good portion of practice on tackling," Jeske said. "It didn't show up today. They are a good team. We made them look better."
The Meteors also made plays in the passing game as quarterback Shelby Spence completed six passes for 118 yards.
Gordon starts defense of its section title this Friday night at Elmhurst College with a game against St. Joseph.
"Our goal is state playoffs and defend our (section) title,"Jeske said.

Crystalline Silica and Crystalline Silica Exposure
The term "silica" broadly refers to the mineral compound silicon dioxide (SiO2). Although silica can be crystalline or amorphous in form, crystalline silica is more hazardous to employees and is the focus of this document. Crystalline silica is a basic component of the Earth's crust and can be detected in soil, sand, granite and many other minerals. While most commonly found in the form of quartz, it is also found in substances such as cristobalite, tridymite and tripoli. Breathing crystalline silica dust poses an occupational health hazard and can lead to severe health problems and even death.
Respirable crystalline silica dust particles, or particles that are less than 10 micrograms (µm) in diameter, pose the greatest threat to employees working with or near crystalline silica. These dust particles occur when workers chip, cut, drill or grind objects that contain crystalline silica. About 2.3 million workers are exposed to respirable crystalline silica in U.S. workplaces. This includes 2 million construction workers who drill, cut, crush or grind crystalline silica-containing materials such as concrete and stone. It also includes 300,000 workers in general industry operations such as brick manufacturing, foundries and hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking.
In March 2016, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a final rule to control exposure to respirable crystalline silica. The rule is comprised of two standards: one for Construction (29 CFR 1926.1153) and the other for General Industry (29 CFR 1910.1053) and Maritime (29 CFR 1915.1053). The Maritime and General Industry standards are exactly the same but differ from the Construction standard. The key difference lies in qualifying the level of crystalline silica workers are exposed to. The General Industry/Maritime Standard requires the employer to perform air monitoring to determine the eight-hour average exposure level for each affected job task. Employers governed by the Construction standard can either use a control method spelled out for common construction work tasks or perform air monitoring as detailed in the General Industry/Maritime standard.
Both the General Industry/Maritime and Construction standards are effective June 23, 2016, and industries have one to five years to comply with most requirements, based on the following schedule:
- Construction: June 23, 2017, one year after the effective date.
- General Industry/Maritime: June 23, 2018, two years after the effective date.
- Hydraulic Fracturing: June 23, 2018, two years after the effective date for all provisions except Engineering Controls, which have a compliance date of June 23, 2021.
Crystalline silica exposure has been linked through epidemiologic studies to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease such as bronchitis and emphysema. It has also been linked to immunologic disorders such as scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus in addition to renal disease and stomach or gastric cancer. However, the most prominent disease linked to crystalline silica dust exposure is silicosis.
Silicosis is one of the world's oldest known occupational diseases, with reports of employees contracting the disease dating back to ancient Greece. By the 1800s, common names for silicosis included grinders' asthma, grinders' rot, masons' disease, miners' asthma, miners' phthisis, potters' rot, sewer disease, sandblasting disease and stonemasons' disease.
Silicosis is a preventable yet incurable disease that causes scar tissue to build up in the lungs, leading to a reduction in the ability to take in oxygen. Respirable crystalline silica dust particles pass through the tracheobronchial tree of the lung and collect in the deepest recesses of the lung, called the alveolar structures. This accumulation leads to a significant decrease in lung function. There are three types of silicosis:
- Chronic or classic silicosis: Results from 15-20 years of low-to-moderate crystalline silica exposure. Chronic silicosis causes shortness of breath and clinical signs of poor oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange in the early stages. In the late stages of chronic silicosis, sufferers will experience extreme shortness of breath and fatigue, as well as chest pain and respiratory failure.
- Accelerated silicosis: Results from 5-10 years of high exposure. Accelerated silicosis results in severe shortness of breath, weakness and weight loss.
- Acute silicosis: This most dangerous form of silicosis also causes severe shortness of breath, weakness and weight loss. Acute silicosis arises anywhere from a few months to two years after exposure to extremely high concentrations of crystalline silica dust. Acute silicosis is often fatal.
Because of the severe side effects resulting from crystalline silica exposure, OSHA has significantly reduced the permissible exposure limit (PEL) to 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air (μg/m³) averaged over an eight-hour day and introduced a new action limit of 25 μg/m³ in the standard.
To help control the risk of respirable crystalline silica exposure, OSHA's "three lines of defense" philosophy is suggested. The first line of defense is to eliminate and/or engineer the crystalline silica exposure hazard out. Examples of engineering/elimination controls are:
- Isolating workers from exposure with enclosures or barriers
- Installing local exhaust ventilation systems
- Using wet methods for cutting, chipping, drilling, sawing, grinding, etc.
- Using HEPA-equipped vacuums or wet sweeping for cleaning applications
- NOT using compressed air for cleaning applications
- Substituting non-crystalline silica material when possible
- Using tools with dust collection systems
When engineering/elimination controls are not feasible or practical, the second and third lines of defense can be used to help control the crystalline silica exposure hazard. The second line of defense is administrative controls, such as employee training, awareness (signage), ensuring that employees work in an area where they will not be exposed to crystalline silica, or written programs and policies. The third and last line of defense to be considered is personal protective equipment (PPE). Some examples of PPE are air-purifying respirators and filters, supplied-air respirators and accessories, and protective clothing.
OSHA states that it is important to consult a competent industrial hygienist or other technically qualified person when determining the engineering controls to be used or when collecting air samples to quantify worker exposure. Methods for collecting air samples are outlined in the new crystalline silica rule, 29 CFR 1910.1053 Appendix A.
OSHA has provided an overview of all the requirements of the new crystalline silica rule for General Industry and Maritime in OSHA Fact Sheet 3682 and for Construction OSHA Fact Sheet 3681.
