Tajakant

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

tech

The Tajakant (also Tadjakant) is a Sahrawi-Moorish tribe of Arab-Berber origins. They speak Hassaniya Arabic. They traditionally lived in Western Sahara, Mauritania and Algeria. They are Muslims, belonging to the Maliki school of Sunni Islam. Some sources claim they are descendants of the Almoravid dynasty, that ruled Morocco in the 11th century.

The Tajakant were known as traders and warriors, and held a strong position in the trans-Saharan trade. In 1852, Tajakant tribesmen founded a settlement and trading post in the oasis of Tindouf, in what is now Algeria. In 1895 the settlement was attacked by a raiding party of Reguibat tribesmen, with whom the Tajakant had fought since 1820. Tindouf was destroyed, and most of the northern Tajakant wiped out; some populations remain in present-day Mauritania, where their members have gained importance as religious scholars.

Today’s Tajakant are said to be sedentary, and engaged in small-scale trading and farming. Very few remain in Western Sahara, although some live in the Tindouf refugee camps of the Polisario Front.

Schempp-Hirth Nimbus-2

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Nimbus-2
Role Open-class sailplane
National origin Germany
Manufacturer Schempp-Hirth
Designed by Klaus Holighaus
First flight April 1971
Number built 243

The Schempp-Hirth Nimbus-2 is an Open Class glider built by Schempp-Hirth during the 1970s. The Nimbus-2 first flew in April 1971 and a total of over 240 examples of all subtypes have been built until the beginning of the 1980s.

Loosely based on the original Nimbus HS-3 prototype, the production version that eventually surfaced as the Nimbus-2 was a very different glider with many improvements over the problematic prototype. The wing was shortened to 20.3 metres and was built in four sections to make it easier to rig and transport. It received Schempp-Hirth air brakes fitted in the upper surfaces and a tail braking-parachute, plus camber-changing flaps. It had an all-flying T-tail similar to the Standard Cirrus as well as the general layout of its fuselage.

The Nimbus-2 was successful in competitions, twice winning the Open Class in World Gliding Championships: Göran Ax (Sweden) in 1972 and George Moffat (USA) in 1974. It was also popular with record-seekers. Bruce Lindsey Drake, David Napier Speight and Sholto Hamilton “Dick” Georgeson jointly set a World Goal and Free Distance record of 1,254 km in New Zealand in 1978, Doris Grove a feminine Out and Return record of 1,127 km in 1981, Yvonne Loader a feminine Height Gain record of 10212 m in 1988, and Joan Shaw a feminine Distance record of 951.43 km in 1990, all flying Nimbus-2. At it’s time several national and world records were held by Nimbus-2M’s in the FAI motorglider category. In 1979 Klaus Holighaus, the glider’s designer, completed the first 1,000 km triangle in Germany flying a Nimbus-2.

The Nimbus-2 was succeeded by the Schempp-Hirth Nimbus-3.

Variants

  • Nimbus-2
  • Nimbus-2B - with a fixed incidence horizontal tail to improve pitch control behaviour
  • Nimbus-2C - lighter variant with higher maximum certified flight mass, new trailing-edge combined airbrakes-flaps derived from the Glasflügel 303 Mosquito in place of the upper surface air brakes, and carbon-fibre wings and tailplane. Several other improvements took place during the production run without changes to the type designation.
  • Nimbus-2CS - single example (serial number 192) with reduced fuselage weight, an increased span of 23.5 m, an enlarged rudder and several other modifications.
  • Nimbus-2M - Self-launching version with a retractable engine. It is based on the Nimbus-2 (not 2b) but the wing is 15 cm further aft on the fuselage to make up for the C of G shift induced by the weight of the engine (7 built)

Collateral source rule

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

The collateral source rule, or collateral source doctrine, is a common law evidentiary rule that prohibits the admission of evidence that a victim’s damages were or will be compensated from some source other than the damages awarded against the Defendant. For example, in a personal injury action, evidence that the Plaintiff’s medical bills were paid by medical insurance, or by Workers’ Compensation, is not generally admissible.

The collateral source doctrine has come under attack by “tort reform” advocates. They argue that if the Plaintiff’s injuries and damages have already been compensated, it is unfair and duplicative to allow an award of damages against the tortfeasor. As a result numerous states have altered or partially abrogated the rule by statute.

However, the collateral source doctrine dates back to 1854, and is intended to promote justice and to assess remedies for fault against the tortfeasor, rather than allowing him to avoid responsibility for setting the losses in motion. In addition, many insurance or other payment sources that do pay for damages gain a lien or subrogation interest in the ultimate recovery. This means that the injured person must pay back his health insurer before he collects anything. If evidence of the collateral source is admitted and the fact-finder reduces the award to compensate for the already-paid damages, this can result in a terrible undercompensation for the injury, as the lien holder will generally attempt to recover the full value of his lien, thus leaving the Plaintiff uncompensated for lost earnings, pain, anguish, or other non-economic damages.
