![]() During COVID-19, the sudden increase in WFH was mainly associated with government- or employer-imposed measures of closing down work places or restricting employees to work at regular work places. In this paper, WFH workers are defined loosely as full-time or part-time workers who have designated work places but are not working at these places for a substantial portion of their working hours ( Gajendran & Harrison, 2007 Gray et al., 1996 Loo, 2012 Martin & MacDonnell, 2012). Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of WFH workers, e-workers or teleworkers has soared to an unprecedented level under various lockdown or confinement measures ( Katherine & Isabel, 2020 Milasi et al., 2020). With COVID-19, human mobility and activity patterns have been severely disrupted. The practice, however, was not widely adopted until the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. With the development of information communications technology (ICT), working from home (WFH) has been seen as a technically feasible alternative solution in relieving the urban commuting peaks ( Loo & Wang, 2018 Nilles et al., 1976). The stress associated with severe traffic congestion can affect the wellbeing of the urban population and understanding the geographical pattern of congestion is important for formulating effective policies ( Zhao & Hu, 2019). Despite various measures to enhance network capacity and to reduce traffic demand, commuting peak traffic congestion is still persistent and causes unsustainable externalities ( Sutton, 2015). Traffic congestion has been studied as a common problem in cities worldwide ( Arnott et al., 2005 Hamilton et al., 2013). While the WFH arrangement has potentials to ease commuting congestion, future e-working and transport measures need to take spatial and temporal dimensions into account. ![]() This paper has significant implications for urban planners in creating more sustainable cities that duly consider the commuting needs of residents, and cautions against the optimism that WFH can relieve urban transport problems despite jobs-housing imbalance. Spatially, significant drops in CI were found not only in the central business district and urban cores but also in some new town areas. Within a day, morning peak congestion was more relieved. Results show that under WFH arrangement, peak-hour congestion has been alleviated. ![]() In this study, we analysed the congestion index (CI) at peak hours, when commuting-related congestion is typically most serious, throughout different waves of the pandemic in Hong Kong. However, changes in congestion patterns within a city have not been studied in-depth. Under these circumstances, it was reported that traffic congestion has been alleviated in many cities. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, WFH arrangement has been encouraged or enforced to reduce the spread of the coronavirus. Theoretically, commuting-related congestion can be relieved by promoting working from home (WFH). Traffic congestion has been a persistent problem in cities globally.

Flight testing of the prototype was performed primarily at Eglin Air Force Base, followed by further testing and modifications. The analog fire-control computer prototype was handcrafted by RAF Wing Commander Tom Pinkerton at the USAF Avionics Laboratory at Wright-Patterson AFB. A direct-view night-vision telescope was installed in the forward door, an early forward-looking infrared device was placed in the forward part of the left wheel well, with miniguns and rotary cannons fixed facing down and aft along the left side. The modifications were done at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base by the Aeronautical Systems Division. In 1967, JC-130A 54-1626 was selected for conversion into the prototype AC-130A gunship (Project Gunship II). AC-130H Spectre near Hurlburt Field, Florida in 1988 Capable of flying faster than helicopters and at high altitudes with excellent loiter time, the use of the pylon turn allowed the AC-47 to deliver continuous, accurate fire to a single point on the ground. Development Origins ĭuring the Vietnam War, the C-130 Hercules was selected to replace the Douglas AC-47 Spooky gunship (Project Gunship I) to improve mission endurance and increase capacity to carry munitions. The AC-130W Stinger II is a modified C-130H with upgrades including a precision strike package. The new AC-130J was based on the MC-130J Commando II special-operations tanker. The upgraded AC-130U Spooky has a 25 mm GAU-12 Equalizer cannon in place of the Spectre's two 20 mm cannons, an improved fire-control system, and increased ammunition capacity. ![]() The AC-130H Spectre was armed with two 20 mm M61 Vulcan cannons, one L/60 Bofors 40 mm cannon, and M137 105 mm cannon and M37 recoil mechanism from the M102 howitzer after 1994, the 20 mm cannons were removed. During an attack, the gunship performs a pylon turn, flying in a large circle around the target, so is able to fire at it for far longer than in a conventional strafing attack. The AC-130 has an unpressurized cabin, with the weaponry mounted to fire from the port side of the fuselage. The squadrons are part of the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC), a component of the United States Special Operations Command. AC-130Us are based at Hurlburt Field, Florida, while AC-130Ws are based at Cannon AFB, New Mexico gunships can be deployed worldwide. Force-protection missions include defending air bases and other facilities. Air-interdiction missions are conducted against planned targets and targets of opportunity. Close air support roles include supporting ground troops, escorting convoys, and urban operations. The sole operator is the United States Air Force, which uses the AC-130U Spooky and AC-130W Stinger II variants for close air support, air interdiction, and force protection, with the upgraded AC-130J Ghostrider entering service. Developed during the Vietnam War as "Project Gunship II", the AC-130 replaced the Douglas AC-47 Spooky, or "Gunship I". The airframe is manufactured by Lockheed Martin, while Boeing is responsible for the conversion into a gunship and for aircraft support. Because its large profile and low operating altitudes around 7,000 feet (2,100 m) make it an easy target, its close air support missions are usually flown at night. ![]() Unlike other modern military fixed-wing aircraft, the AC-130 relies on visual targeting. It carries a wide array of ground-attack weapons that are integrated with sophisticated sensors, navigation, and fire-control systems. Nevertheless, Khong said, the Air Force “will continue to look out for new capabilities that may better meet our future needs,” adding that the service “constantly reviews our capabilities and will upgrade or acquire new systems if required to ensure we remain operationally capable and effective.The Lockheed AC-130 gunship is a heavily armed, long-endurance, ground-attack variant of the C-130 Hercules transport, fixed-wing aircraft. The MPAs have taken part in multinational anti-piracy operations in the Gulf of Aden, while both types have been involved in maritime surveillance activities in the Strait of Malacca and the South China Sea. The former can be converted into an “MPA-lite” configuration, fitted with a belly radar and electro-optical systems. The Air Force currently operates nine Fokker 50s - four as transport/utility aircraft and five configured as Enforcer 2 maritime patrol platforms. It issued a formal request for information to a number of manufacturers in 2015, although it subsequently put the program on hold in favor of upgrading the Fokker 50s. Singapore previously sought information on a range of maritime patrol platforms.

If you are a man, the only thing that will hold your attention are the scenes where Anna Nicole Smith shows off her transplants. Imagine that you put Barb Wire in a skyscraper, after the Die Hard model, add incredibly stupid dialog, and some free swinging 48" (or however big Anna Nicole Smith's mammaries are) appendages. Lots of stuff gets blowed up real good! Get the pony keg and the nachos, dude! Now that's some red-blooded American entertainment. I would suggest a double feature for a night of viewing, this film and David Heavener's KILL CRAZY(see my review of that film as well). ![]() I feel that this movie is best enjoyed under the influence of several adult beverages. Anyone familiar with the work of Andy Sidaris will be in familiar territory here. Everything about this film screams: "Don't take me seriously!" On that level, the discriminating fan of bad action films will enjoy this heartily. There are a ton of explosions on offer, which are nicely photographed, but are so (I'll risk using the word again) gratuitous that the plot (most obvious Die Hard rip-off ever) can't be taken seriously for more than a nanosecond. From Anna's non-existent acting, to the bad scenery-chewing performance of the actor playing the lead terrorist (just what country is he supposed to be from, Badaccentia?), this is prime Badfilm. You'll laugh until tears flow from your eyes, not believing the sights and sounds assaulting your being from the screen. Check the gratuitous shower scene about 10 minutes into the movie if you don't get me. If you turn the number sideways, you'll see why I gave this movie an 8. ![]() These portrait pictures were used to create 2000 different album covers. In addition to involving the fans as singers, the band also solicited more than 2000 photographs from fans around the world. ![]() The result is an album in which fans can hear themselves singing choir-like backing vocals and anthemic choruses. Wanting to encourage fan participation, the band asked hundreds of fans to join the chorus needed for the This is War album. Although this album alienated some of the original fans looking for that initial grunge sound, A Beautiful Lie garnered the band a whole new horde of fans, particularly teenage girls. Their heavy eye-liner, skinny jeans and dyed hair also aided in securing the image of the band within the emo subculture. A Beautiful Lie is more lyrically direct, although the lyrics do maintain aspects of the esoteric prevalent on the first album, while the more dramatic sound ushered the band ever closer towards the emo label. This 2005 album definitely saw a transformation from the raw grunge sounds of the first album. A story of life, love, death, pain, joy, and passion. It's an incredibly intimate look into a life that is in the crossroads. It's about brutal honesty, growth, change. Although this record is still full of conceptual elements and thematic ideas it is ultimately much more wrapped around the heart than the head. "With A Beautiful Lie, it was time to take a more personal and less cerebral approach. "On the first record I created a world, then hid behind it," Jared said. It took the band another three years to record their second album A Beautiful Lie, across four continents while the band followed Jared to and from film sets. ![]() We know most all-mountain wide skis can handle the pow. At the end of the week, we have enough hard data on the 100-plus pairs of skis tested to make your head spin, and we use it all to bring you these reviews of the best skis of the year. We ask our crew of 24 testers to identify a ski’s primary strengths, its weaknesses, who it’s designed for, and what terrain and snow conditions it’s most adept at. The mission: Jump on every pair of skis entered into our five categories (Carving, Frontside, All-Mountain, All-Mountain Wide, and Powder), put them through their paces all over the mountain, and then fill out a digital scorecard with comments and impressions of how each pair of planks performed across various skill categories-from carving chops and crud performance to stability at speed and responsiveness. So our testers took them into the glades, back bowls, and into the Burn at Sun Valley to see how well they handled the deep stuff. With wider waists and more rocker, all-mountain wide skis are designed for deeper days. As in the past, we invited a crew of seasoned industry professionals-ski instructors, ski shop employees, coaches, and former World Cup racers-to join us for a week-long gear test in Sun Valley, Idaho, a resort known for its steep and manicured groomers, legendary bump runs, perfectly gladed tree runs, and of course, “the Burn,” sidecountry terrain that powder dreams are made of. SKI has been running its annual ski test for decades now, but we’re always tweaking and perfecting the process. Looking for the best women’s all-mountain wide skis of 2024? You’ll find those here. If you find yourself in that camp, check out the 15 unisex all-mountain wide skis that performed best at SKI’s 2024 gear test in Sun Valley, Idaho. With a wider waist and more rocker, you sacrifice some edging capabilities, but many skiers think the crud-busting and surfing abilities you get in return are well worth the trade-off. Wide all-mountain skis are ideal for skiers who are lucky enough to ski deep, soft snow more often than not, but they also cater to East Coast powderhounds and Western skiers who prefer float over finesse. The skis in the All-Mountain Wide category are slightly girthier than your typical all-mountain ski-typically 100-110mm-and usually feature a more pronounced rocker profile than their all-mountain counterparts. ![]() If you’re a soft-snow connoisseur or just prefer a wide platform for everything you encounter at the resort, you need an all-mountain wide ski in your life.
