17th Edition Po Polsku

Flights is a fragmentary novel by the Polish author Olga Tokarczuk. It was originally published in Polish as Bieguni. The book was translated into English by Jennifer Croft.^[1] The original Polish title refers to runaways (runners, beguny), a sect of Old Believers, who believe that being in constant motion is a trick to avoid evil.

Set between the 17th and 21st centuries, the novel is a 'philosophical rumination on modern-day travel'.^[2] It is structured as a series of vignettes, some fictional, and some based on fact – among them that of the DutchanatomistPhilip Verheyen's discovery of the achilles tendon, and the story of Ludwika Jędrzejewicz, the sister of the Polish composer Frédéric Chopin, transporting his heart back to Warsaw.^[3][4]

The novel won the Man Booker International Prize in 2018, marking the first time a Polish author received the award.^[2][5] The chair of the judging panel, Lisa Appignanesi, described Tokarczuk as a 'writer of wonderful wit, imagination, and literary panache'.^[6] Tokarczuk and Croft shared the £50,000 prize.^[7]

Critical reception[edit]

The review aggregator website Book Marks reported that 53% of critics gave the book a 'rave' review, whilst the other 47% of the critics expressed 'positive' impressions, based on a sample of 19 reviews.^[12]

Kirkus Reviews stated that the book was 'a welcome introduction to a major author and a pleasure for fans of contemporary European literature.'^[13]The Guardian described it as 'extraordinary' and 'a passionate and enchantingly discursive plea for meaningful connectedness'.^[14] Tokarczuk's writing in Flights has been compared to that of W. G. Sebald,^[14]Milan Kundera,^[14] and László Krasznahorkai, among others.^[15]Parul Sehgal of The New York Times said of Tokarczuk's narrator that she is 'coolly evasive in the way of Rachel Cusk’s heroine in the Outline trilogy'.

In 2008, the Polish version of the book won the Nike Award, Poland's highest literary award.^[16]

In 2018, the English translation of the book won the Man Booker International Prize. Summarising the decision of the judges' panel, its chair, Lisa Appignanesi, said 'we loved the voice of the narrative – it’s one that moves from wit and gleeful mischief to real emotional texture and has the ability to create character very quickly, with interesting digression and speculation.'^[3][17]

British StandardBS 7671 'Requirements for Electrical Installations. IET Wiring Regulations', informally called in the electrical community The 'Regs', is the national standard in the United Kingdom for electrical installation and the safety of electrical wiring in domestic, commercial, industrial, and other buildings, also in special installations and locations, such as marinas or caravan parks.^[1]

In general, BS 7671 applies to circuits supplied at nominal voltages up to and including 1000 volts AC or 1500 volts DC. The standard therefore covers the 230 volt 50 Hz AC mains supply used in the UK for houses, offices, and commerce. It did not become a recognized British Standard until the publication of the 16th edition in 1992. The standard takes account of the technical substance of agreements reached in CENELEC^[2]

The current version is BS 7671:2018 (the 18th Edition) issued in 2018 and comes into effect from 1 January 2019. ^[3][3] BS 7671 is also used as a national standard by Mauritius, St Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, Cyprus, and several other countries, which base their wiring regulations on BS 7671.

• 2History of BS 7671 and predecessor standards

Compilation and publication[edit]

The standard is maintained by the Joint IET/BSI Technical Committee JPEL/64, the UK National Committee for Wiring Regulations, and published by the IET (formerly IEE). Although the IET and BSI are non-governmental organisations and the Wiring Regulations are non-statutory, they are referenced in several UK statutory instruments, and in most cases, for practical purposes, have legal force as the appropriate method of electric wiring.^[4]

Best Focus Stacking Software for Mac? Jul 31, 2012 Looking for opinions on focus stacking software that works well on the Mac platform. It seems that dedicated stacking software might be better than what I can achieve in CS6?? Beginner's Guides Getting Started In-depth testing Latest Camera Reviews Beyond the studio tests Feature Articles. If you select contrast as the main selection criteria, you get focus stacking. You will also want to select hard masking. However, enfuse only does the fusing of the stack. It does not do alignment of the stack. For that, you will need a separate tool, such as alignimagestack, which is included in the panotools open source project.

There are two main commercial vendors of focus stacking software: Zerene Stacker and Helicon Focus. Both give superb results in the right hands, although in my opinion, the focus stacking software of choice does tend to be Zerene Stacker for photographers interested in quality rather than speed.

The BSI (British Standards Institute) publishes numerous titles concerning acceptable standards of design/safety/quality across different fields.

History of BS 7671 and predecessor standards[edit]

The first edition was published in 1882 as the 'Rules and Regulations for the Prevention of Fire Risks arising from Electric Lighting.' The title became 'General Rules recommended for Wiring for the Supply of Electrical Energy' with the third edition in 1897, 'Wiring Rules' with the fifth edition of 1907, and settled at 'Regulations for the Electrical Equipment of Buildings' with the eighth edition in 1924.

Since the 15th edition (1981), these regulations have closely followed the corresponding international standard IEC 60364. In 1992, the IEE Wiring Regulations became British Standard BS 7671 so that the legal enforcement of their requirements was easier both with regard to the Electricity at Work regulations and from an international point of view.^[5] They are now treated similar to other British Standards. BS 7671 has converged towards (and is largely based on) the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) harmonisation documents, and therefore is technically very similar to the current wiring regulations of other European countries.

1st Edition[edit]

'Rules and Regulations for the Prevention of Fire Risks arising from Electric Lighting.' - Two core cable, line and neutral, no earth. The protection was a re-wirable fuse.

17th Edition[edit]

The 17th edition, released in January 2008 and amended in 2011 ('Amendment 1'), 2013 ('Amendment 2') and January 2015 ('Amendment 3') became effective for all installations designed after 1 July 2008.^[6] One of the more significant changes is (chapter 41) that 30 mA RCDs will be required for socket outlets that are for use by ordinary persons and are intended for general use. This improves the level of protection against electrical shock in the UK to a level comparable to that in other EU countries. The 17th edition and its amendments incorporated new sections relating to microgeneration and solar photovoltaic systems, non-combustible consumer units, RCDs, and breakers (including high resilience breaker layout).

• As originally published highlights - RCDs required for most outlets
• Amendment 1 highlights - high resilience consumer units
• Amendment 2 highlights - electric vehicle charging added, earlier change incorporated for medical locations^[7]
• Amendment 3 highlights - non-combustible consumer units/enclosures^[3]
