Rotary broaching requires two tooling components : a tool holder and a broach . The leading ( cutting ) edge of the broach has a contour matching the desired final shape . The broach is mounted in a special tool holder that that allows it to freely rotate . The tool holder is special because it holds the tool so that its axis of rotation is inclined slightly to the axis of rotation of the work . A typical value for this misalignment is 1 ° . This angle is what produces a rotating edge for the broach to cut the workpiece . Either the workpiece or the tool holder is rotated . If the tool holder is rotated , the misalignment causes the broach to appear as though it is " wobbling " , which is the origin of the term wobble broach .

Plant also noted that Madonna , in the video , restored the energy and eroticism of Venice , which had its name taken from Venus in familiar elision . As she exchanged her blue top for a black one during the video , Madonna demonstrated her mastery and bravery of the city , which had a reputation of turning out its visitors as victims . Carol Clerk ( 2002 ) commented that with the video , " Madonna 's days as a cheap and cheerful video star were over . She was moving into serious spectacle . "

Ron Goulart contributed a book review column to each issue of the second incarnation , and there was an occasional film review . This version of Venture did not credit the artists , but most of the covers were signed by Bert Tanner , who was listed on the masthead as the art director . Tanner 's cover art was much less distinguished than Emshwiller 's work for the first run of the magazine , and it is likely that this had a negative effect on sales : Tanner 's work has been likened to " pencil sketches overlaid by a single color " . Tanner also contributed much , but not all , of the interior art ; other artists who can by identified by their signatures include Emshwiller , Derek Carter , and <unk> Stewart , who illustrated Tiptree 's story in the November 1969 issue .

No. 38 Squadron was re @-@ equipped with new de Havilland Canada DHC @-@ 4 Caribou tactical transport aircraft during 1964 . In January 1964 the unit 's commanding officer , five other pilots and three navigators undertook conversion training on the type in Canada . At the completion of this course the personnel flew the RAAF 's first three Caribous from Toronto to RAAF Base Richmond between 17 March and 22 April . The process of fully converting No. 38 Squadron to Caribous was delayed by the government 's decision to deploy several of the aircraft to Vietnam ; at the time this decision was made , in June 1964 , the squadron had received six of its planned allocation of nine aircraft , and the next batch of three aircraft was sent directly to Vietnam . No. 38 Squadron was the last operational RAAF squadron to fly Dakotas , though several other units did so until the 1990s . After receiving its Caribous , No. 38 Squadron 's main role was to train aircrews for operational service with the RAAF Transport Flight Vietnam ( later redesignated No. 35 Squadron ) . On 1 July 1964 , one of the squadron 's Caribous suffered severe damage when it made a crash landing at HMAS Albatross ; this aircraft was subsequently written off and its fuselage used for training purposes by the Army 's 1st Commando Regiment . The squadron became an independent unit under Headquarters RAAF Base Richmond in August that year , following the disbandment of No. 86 Wing . On 13 October 1965 , Detachment A of No. 38 Squadron began operations from Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea , equipped with two Caribous . One of the detachment 's tasks was to give Caribou pilots experience in tropical and mountainous conditions , and all aircraft captains were required to complete at least one two @-@ month deployment to Port Moresby before serving with No. 35 Squadron in Vietnam . In addition to its training role , No. 38 Squadron undertook transport flights in and around Australia , taking part when required in relief efforts following natural disasters .

P.E. Svinhufvud 's Senate proposed Finland 's declaration of independence , which the Parliament adopted on 6 December 1917 . The Social Democrats voted against the Senate 's proposal while presenting an alternative declaration of independence . The establishment of an independent state was not a foregone conclusion for the small Finnish nation ; recognition by Russia and the major European powers was essential . Svinhufvud accepted , by the end of December 1917 , that he had to negotiate with Lenin for Russian recognition . The socialists , reluctant to talks with the Russian leadership in July 1917 , sent two delegations to Petrograd to ask Lenin to approve Finnish sovereignty .

Titian was a personal friend of Charles ; the commissioning of the portrait was most likely intended by Paul as a signal of allegiance to the emperor . Pressure from reforming monarchs in France and Spain , coupled with a general shift of influence in France 's favour , ended the Farnese hold on the papacy soon after Paul 's death . Ottavio excelled as a military commander and was awarded the Golden Fleece by the emperor . While the post had been given as a means to strengthen the family position , it did not come without cost . His success bred resentment amongst his family , as he began to see himself unaccountable to Rome .

Mau 's personal connection to the sea began early in his life , when he was placed in tide pools in his infancy so he could feel the pull of the ocean . At the age of four or five , Mau was chosen by his grandfather Raangipi to study as an apprentice navigator . Mau initially protested his grandfather 's teaching , preferring to spend his time playing on the beach with children his own age . Raangipi trained Mau as a young navigator for many years . Their day would begin at sunrise , when they would eat breakfast together and afterwards , take care of chores before going fishing . During the evening , Mau would join the men in the canoe house as they drank , listening to their stories about navigation and sailing . Raangipi told the young boy that if he chose to become a navigator , Mau could gain respect from his community , eat well , and maintain a position in Satawalese society higher than that of a chief . Encouraged , Mau learned basic navigational clues regarding the " stars , swells , and birds " from Raangipi , but his grandfather died sometime before Mau was fourteen .

With Adelin dead , the inheritance to the English throne was thrown into doubt . Rules of succession in western Europe at the time were uncertain ; in some parts of France , male primogeniture , in which the eldest son would inherit a title , was becoming more popular . It was also traditional for the King of France to crown his successor whilst he himself was still alive , making the intended line of succession relatively clear , but this was not the case in England . In other parts of Europe , including Normandy and England , the tradition was for lands to be divided up , with the eldest son taking patrimonial lands — usually considered to be the most valuable — and younger sons being given smaller , or more recently acquired , partitions or estates . The problem was further complicated by the sequence of unstable Anglo @-@ Norman successions over the previous sixty years — William the Conqueror had gained England by force , William Rufus and Robert Curthose had fought a war between them to establish their inheritance , and Henry had only acquired control of Normandy by force . There had been no peaceful , uncontested successions .

More generally , let H2 ( ∂ D ) be the Hardy space consisting of the closure in L2 ( ∂ D ) of all holomorphic functions in D continuous up to the boundary of D. Then functions in H2 ( ∂ D ) uniquely extend to holomorphic functions in D , and the Cauchy integral formula continues to hold . In particular for z ∈ D , the delta function δz is a continuous linear functional on H2 ( ∂ D ) . This is a special case of the situation in several complex variables in which , for smooth domains D , the Szegő kernel plays the role of the Cauchy integral .

Erosion can be the result of material movement by the wind . There are two main effects . First , wind causes small particles to be lifted and therefore moved to another region . This is called deflation . Second , these suspended particles may impact on solid objects causing erosion by abrasion ( ecological succession ) . Wind erosion generally occurs in areas with little or no vegetation , often in areas where there is insufficient rainfall to support vegetation . An example is the formation of sand dunes , on a beach or in a desert . Loess is a homogeneous , typically <unk> , porous , friable , slightly coherent , often calcareous , fine @-@ grained , silty , pale yellow or buff , windblown ( Aeolian ) sediment . It generally occurs as a widespread blanket deposit that covers areas of hundreds of square kilometers and tens of meters thick . Loess often stands in either steep or vertical faces . Loess tends to develop into highly rich soils . Under appropriate climatic conditions , areas with loess are among the most agriculturally productive in the world . Loess deposits are geologically unstable by nature , and will erode very readily . Therefore , windbreaks ( such as big trees and bushes ) are often planted by farmers to reduce the wind erosion of loess .

Philosophy of mathematics is concerned with the philosophical foundations and implications of mathematics . The central questions are whether numbers , triangles , and other mathematical entities exist independently of the human mind and what is the nature of mathematical propositions . Is asking whether " 1 + 1 = 2 " is true fundamentally different from asking whether a ball is red ? Was calculus invented or discovered ? A related question is whether learning mathematics requires experience or reason alone . What does it mean to prove a mathematical theorem and how does one know whether a mathematical proof is correct ? Philosophers of mathematics also aim to clarify the relationships between mathematics and logic , human capabilities such as intuition , and the material universe .

Smith reported for duty with No. 237 Squadron in Corsica on 10 May 1944 , and resumed operational flying two days later . Soon after , he was promoted in the field to flight lieutenant . At this time the unit was attached to an American bomber group , and assigned to cover it during attacks on northern Italian cities such as Genoa . The fighters also embarked on strafing raids into the Po Valley , attacking railway traffic and heavy vehicles . Smith flew ten sorties with the squadron over the next month , and during the last of these , on 22 June , led a strafing raid against a large railway yard . Having destroyed a number of engines and fuel tanks , Smith went back for a second run , and his aircraft was hit by flak . He shouted over the radio to the other pilots , telling them not to attempt a second pass on the railway yard , and turned towards the coast , hoping to ditch in the sea . Smith 's wingman , Alan Douglas , then told him by radio first that black smoke was emanating from the aircraft , then that the engine was ablaze .

The dusky crag martin was formally described by in 1832 as Hirundo concolor by British soldier and ornithologist William Henry Sykes . It was moved to the new genus Ptyonoprogne by German ornithologist Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach in 1850 . Its nearest relatives are the three other members of the genus , the rock martin P. fuligula , the pale crag martin , P. obsoleta , and the Eurasian crag martin P. rupestris . The genus name is derived from the Greek ptuon ( φτυον ) , " a fan " , referring to the shape of the opened tail , and Procne ( Πρόκνη ) , a mythological girl who was turned into a swallow .

Henry Percy , 4th Earl of Northumberland , also supported Richard 's seizure of the throne of England . The Percys were loyal Lancastrians , but Edward IV eventually won the earl 's allegiance . Northumberland had been captured and imprisoned by the Yorkists in 1461 , losing his titles and estates ; however , Edward released him eight years later and restored his earldom . From that time , Northumberland served the Yorkist crown , helping to defend northern England and maintain its peace . Initially the earl had issues with Richard III as Edward groomed his brother to be the leading power of the north . Northumberland was mollified when he was promised he would be the Warden of the East March , a position that was formerly hereditary for the Percys . He served under Richard during the 1482 invasion of Scotland , and the allure of being in a position to dominate the north of England if Richard went south to assume the crown was his likely motivation for supporting Richard 's bid for kingship . However , after becoming king , Richard began moulding his nephew , John de la Pole , 1st Earl of Lincoln , to manage the north , passing over Northumberland for the position . According to Carpenter , although the earl was amply compensated , he despaired of any possibility of advancement under Richard .
