 supporting users day-to-day on the Cray XE6, since July 2009 the Steering Committee has commissioned the Centre of Excellence to assist a variety of user projects.
In each of these projects we aim to bring best practice in software development together with a style and structure which fits comfortably into the existing software. The Centre of Excellence team has used a successful model of development; this involves co-locating with the scientific team for a significant period to both understand the challenge and the application and to develop the design.
Once the project is completed the project enters a code audit phase with the scientific team where changes are integrated into the existing source and thoroughly tested using a range of compilers, datasets and architectures to prove the robustness, durability and accuracy.
Members of the Centre of Excellence attend meetings with users throughout the year. The Centre of Excellence Steering Committee meets at regular intervals and minutes and agenda from previous meetings are available below.
The HECToR Centre of Excellence actively participates in various HPC related workshops and conferences. Please find information below on these activities.
DETROIT, Mich. -- The Ford Motor Company today announced an increase in the minimum pay of its employees from $6 to $7 per day effective as of December 1.
This wage was effective for all making less than $7 a day. Those making between $7 and $10 a day will receive five cents an hour increase.
The announcement had been expected for several days after Henry Ford, the billionaire motor car manufacturer, announced in Washington he would increase wages of his employees in keeping with President Hoover's "boost business" campaign.
Henry Ford was among the national business leaders called to Washington by the president in his survey of business conditions of the country. After the conference Ford said that he was convinced that wages must be kept up to their standard in this country.
Then he added that in keeping with this policy he would increase the wages of his employees.
The increase, as announced today, will total $20,000,000 yearly or an increase of about $1,628,450 a month.
Ford employees to receive the increase from the general wage of $6 a day to $7, total 24,320.
Approximately 115,640 employees now receiving $7 to $10 will receive the 5 cents an hour increase.
The increase takes effect only in the Ford plants in the United States. Ford officials, however, expect Ford of Canada to announce a similar increase.My initial guess if it wasnt factory was manual override for the electric fan. I was sorta right, as it turns out the PO wired it as a on/off for the "automatic" electric fan.
Found a connection that had come apart, fixed it and traced the wires back. Mystery solved and no more overheating.
Hello, I am coming from Toyotas and almost completely new to early jeeps.. I recently bought a nice and fairly built Jeep. There is a knob on the dash just above the emergency flashers that pulls out but doesnt seem to do anything. So 2 questions. 1) Is it stock 2) if so what is it supposed to do?
Here's the new to me Jeep.
Welcome to the forum from up the road. Did you purchase that jeep up in the Tahoe area? I think I remember seeing it on Craigslist.
Good memory, Truckee.
I know Its a needle bearing from my front driveshaft U-joint. I found it on the floor after I had it all back together.
Question is - How bad is it to be missing one needle?
I didn’t see anything. Did you?
It will only be go bad when you need it the most and are far from home...
2 of the caps should be easy to check - two are much more difficult. Did you at least check the two that are easy to access? I don't really know how critical it is, but I don't think I would be okay with leaving it out. At least its the front which doesn't get used all that much, and you can still drive it most places with only the rear, but.....
I found a needle for the lower shaft on my T14 when I was just about to button it up and put the cover back on....redid it and at least I was much faster the second time around.

This will not diminish the strength of the joint in any noticeable way. The only thing it will affect is the longevity of the joint. With it being the front, keep it lubed and forget about it. It will outlast you.

Pull it out, check the yoke cups, if it’s not missing there whack the yoke with a hammer to dislodge the other cups after you take out the retaining clips and find out where it’s missing or just drive it. It’s a front driveshaft not th rear.
I followed your build, you put a lot of time and effort into it. Do you really want to start compromising things now?
It should only take an hour + - to check them and do it right.
To each their own, just my opinion.

I left one out many years ago, and didn't bother (yes, on the front driveshaft). Years later, I was in there working on something else, so went and pulled it apart. One stub end of the cross joint was heavilly grooved, and all the rest were like new. Did it fail? No, but it would have failed at some point. It was noticably chewed up.
The old adage" you can pay me now, or pay me later" seems to hold true in this case. Maybe you left that roller out of one of the u-bolt ones that are easy to check.

I'm with Donny on this one. I'd almost bet the wear grooves were at a bit of an angle too. All of the needles in there keep each other "honest" as they are tight to one another and can only roll true and straight. With one missing, the space between allows the needles to twist slightly back and forth depending on the load. When they can twist, it also causes them to bind between the race surfaces and will create angled wear grooves.
It will work, just won't last as long as the ones with all the needles in them.

What if something happened to the rear driveshaft and the front driveshaft had to be counted on to get you home? Or, if you bought a new u-joint and one of the rollers was missing would you take it back or just not worry about it? After all it's only one.
I must be really lucky to still be alive!

5. What Is Futsal?
8. Work: Exit Routes?
The education programme at Preston North End's Community and Education Trust is an exciting opportunity for young people to continue their education and career development through playing football and futsal representing Preston North End Football Club.
This unique and high quality experience combines engaging, small group educational lessons with our tutors and the opportunity to train and develop with UEFA/FA qualified coaches and represent Preston North End in the ECFA North West Division.
Preston North End offer both a Level two and a Level three extended diploma in Sport and Exercise. The Level three extended diploma is equivalent to three A levels and provides students with the opportunity to go onto higher education as well as preparing them for the sport and leisure industry.
For more details on the course and its content, click here.
Students wishing to enrol onto the BTEC level three extended diploma will need a minimum of four C grades or higher at GCSE level (including English and Maths) and have a keen interest in football.
Students wishing to enrol onto the BTEC level two will need minimum of four D grades or higher at GCSE level (including English and Maths) and have a keen interest in football.
Scholars will study a Level two or Level three extended diploma in sport over a two year period and will follow a carefully planned pathway of modules to provide scholars with a broad range of knowledge and experience preparing them for potential career pathways.
Units will be graded on a ‘distinction’, ‘merit’ and ‘pass’ criteria.
Preston North End will take on local colleges such as Myerscough College, Preston’s College and Runshaw College in the ECFA North West League.
The club have strong links with a number of local semi-professional teams from the region, which have enabled Preston North End to establish partnerships, allowing our scholars the opportunity to play 11-a-side at a higher level, during and after their college studies.
Futsal is a small-sided form of football that encourages close ball control, decision making skills and creativity. Futsal was developed in South America before reaching European nations such as Spain and Germany and is widely credited with contributing to their recent success.
Futsal is a fast paced game with frequent one versus one situations and was developed to improve touch and technique. Games are high-scoring and are played at a high intensity with flare, tricks and skills encouraged.
Scholars will receive a minimum of four hours specialised football and futsal training per week with full time FA and UEFA qualifies
