| ARTICLES RELATED TO 1973 oil crisis | | | |  1973 oil crisis: Encyclopedia II - Ford Capri - Capri Mk3The Capri Mk III, officially referred to as "Project Carla", was little more than an update of the Mk2. Production began in April 1977 with the first cars being available in March 1978, but failed to halt a terminal decline in sales. However, this model was used in the TV series The Professionals, which was credited with keeping interest in the car in the UK. The Mk3 featured improved aerodynamics, leading to improved performance and economy over the Mk2 and the t ...

| | | | | 1973 oil crisis: Encyclopedia II - History of Poland 1945–1989 - The Gierek era 1970–1980 Gierek, like Gomułka in 1956, came to power on a raft of promises that now everything would be different: wages would rise, prices would remain stable, there would be freedom of speech, and those responsible for the violence at Gdynia and elsewhere would be punished. Although Poles were much more cynical than they had been in 1956, Gierek was believed to be an honest and well-intentioned man, and his promises bought him some time. He used this time to create a new economic program, one based on large-scale borrowing from the West—mainly f ...

Originally, the Cologne-built Capri 1600 was fitted with a British 1.6 L Kent engine. Initial output was just 64 hp (48 kw). The 1971 Capri 2000 featured the Cologne-built 2.0 L OHC engine for much-improved performance from 101 hp (75 kW). The 1600 variant of the Pinto en ...

| | | | | 1973 oil crisis: Encyclopedia II - Erling Dekke Næss - The OBO carrier Næss was always searching for increased efficiency and the long voyages ballasted for tankers posed an intriguing problem. In the mid of the 1950s he started to think about a combination ship that could carry both oil and bulk cargoes. Oil and ore ships had been in operation since the 1920s, but a vessel with capacity to carry both oil and bulk cargoes seemed impossible to construct. Næss pushed his chief naval architect T. M. Karlsen to keep researching the combined vessel, also checking in on various failed projects, like the Mando Theodoracopulos. One of the deficiencies of that vessel was t ...

As the years 1959 - 1961 were bad in the tanker market Næss placed his attention to develop large bulk carriers and arranging "affreightment" contracts for them. The focus on Norness Shipping created anxiety among Anglo American shareholders whether enough was done to expand that company. This created the basis ...

| | | | | 1973 oil crisis: Encyclopedia II - Ford Capri - Australia The Ford Capri name was revived in Australia in 1989 for a convertible rivaling the Mazda MX-5. The Australian Capri, codenamed the SA30, used Mazda 323 engines and mechanicals which Ford Australia already used on the Laser. It had a bodyshell designed by Ghia and an interior by ItalDesign. However, by comparison with the MX-5, it looked dated by the time of its release - some two years after its originally scheduled date.
Two models were originally offered: a standard 1.6 L model, and a turbocharged XR2 v ...

The Argentine military forced aged Hipólito Yrigoyen from power in 1930 and ushered in another decade of Conservative rule.
The collapse of international trade led to an industrial growth focused on import substitution, leading to a stronger economic independence (relatively, because oil production in the country was dominated by foreign companies, mostly from the USA, something that Yrigoyen wanted to stop and one of the possible reason ...

| | | | | 1973 oil crisis: Encyclopedia II - History of Argentina - The emergence of modern Argentina Two forces combined to create the modern Argentine nation in the late 19th century: the introduction of modern agricultural techniques and integration of Argentina into the world economy. Foreign investment and immigration from Europe aided this economic revolution. Investment, primarily British, came in such fields as railroads and ports, but the foreign owners expected to retain controls. The migrants who worked to develop Argentina's resources (especially the ...

History of Poland 1945–1989 - De-Stalinization.
Stalin had died in 1953. Between 1953 and 1958 Nikita Khrushchev out manouvered his rivals and achieved power in the Soviet Union. In March 1956 Khrushchev denounced Stalin's cult of personality at the 20th Congress of the Soviet Communist Party. The de-Stalinization of official Soviet ideology left Poland's Stalinist hard-liners in a difficult position. In the same month as Khrushchev's speech, as unrest and desire for reform and change among both intellectuals a ...

| | | | | 1973 oil crisis: Encyclopedia II - Sweden - Politics Sweden has been a monarchy for almost a millennium, with its taxation controlled by the Riksdag (parliament). It consisted of two chambers, made up by representatives from the 4 estates: clerics, nobility, townsmen and peasants, until 1866 when Sweden became a Constitutional monarchy with a bicameral parliament. Its First Chamber was indirectly elected by local governments, and the Second Chamber directly elected in national elections every four years.
Legislative power was (symbolically) shared between king and parliame ...

Speed limit - Essential physics.
Forces in a motor vehicle collision are proportional to the square of the speed change (sometimes referred to as "delta-V", symbolized as δv) at impact. This means that crash forces rise much faster than speed. The probability of a fatality is proportional the fourth power of the speed change a ...

The most famous are the German intercity Autobahn, much of which has no speed limit or only advisory limits.
Australia's Northern Territory has no blanket speed limits outside major towns.
The Isle of Man has no speed limit on most rural roads. A 2004 proposal for 70 and 60 mph (112 and 96 km/h) speed limits was very unpopular[10].
India still does not enforce a speed limit on is highway system. Speeds above 55 mph (88 km/h) are generally not possible because of the qu ...

| | | | | 1973 oil crisis: Encyclopedia II - Nuclear energy policy - Nuclear power phase-out A Nuclear power phase-out was introduced in Sweden (1980), in Italy (1987), in Belgium (1999), and in Germany (2000) and has been discussed in several other European countries. Austria, the Netherlands, Poland, and Spain have enacted laws not to build new nuclear power stations.
One idea behind a nuclear phase-out is to force a shift to renewable energy, because of environmental concerns with electricity generation, socia ...

Nuclear energy policy - Arguments against nuclear energy.
Anti-nuclear politicians state environmental concerns with nuclear power as arguments for a phase-out. A main concern against the use of nuclear power for energy production is primarily safety of the environment and people. Activists refer to nuclear accidents in the past that have released large amounts of radioactive contamination killing and hurting many people and rendering large amounts of land unusable ...

| | | | | 1973 oil crisis: Encyclopedia II - Speed limit - Enforcement Prior to the invention of radar, speed limits were normally enforced by clocking vehicles travelling through speed traps. Clocking a vehicle simply means timing how long it takes for the automobile to pass between two fixed landmarks along a roadway, from which the vehicle's average speed could easily be determined. Setting up a speed trap that could provide legally satisfactory evidence was usually time consuming, however, and early speed traps were often difficult to hide. As a result, organizations such as the Automobile Association could often keep fairl ...

| | | | | 1973 oil crisis: Encyclopedia II - Speed limit - Opposition Speed limits have been opposed by motorists since their inception. Britain's first motoring organization, the AA, was formed to warn members about speed traps. Other organizations, such as the Association of British Drivers and SafeSpeed, have sought to discredit speed enforcement. At the same time, other organizations such as the Safer Streets Coalition and RoadPeace have supported reduced speeds, especially in residential areas and around schools. The debate over speed enforcement has become a large part of the ro ...

| | | | | 1973 oil crisis: Encyclopedia II - Speed limit - Signage Speed limits are usually marked with a traffic sign. Speed limit signs often appear near political borders and road intersections, and in some cases speed limit signs appear at regular intervals. Political borders can range from country borders to city limits.
In some cases, mainly borders surrounding the United Kingdom and the United States, different forms of speed measurement are used on each side of the border. For example, Northern Ireland (currently part of the UK) uses miles-per-hour (MPH) for speed limits and miles for distanc ...

In the United States, the design speed is "a selected speed used to determine the various geometric design features of the roadway" according to the 2001 AASHTO Green Book, the highway design manual. It has been changed from previous versions which considered it the "maximum safe speed that can be maintained over a specific section of highway when conditions are so favorable that ...

| | | | | 1973 oil crisis: Encyclopedia II - Speed limit - 85th percentile rule Since the 1950s, traffic engineers have relied on the 85th percentile rule. The idea is that the speed limit should be set to the speed that separates the bottom 85% of vehicle speeds from the top 15%. The 85th percentile closely corresponds to one standard deviation above the mean of a normal distribution.
In practical terms, the 85th percentile speed is slightly higher than the flow of traffic. It has been observed that vehicles traveling over the 85th percentile speed (or faster than the flow of traffic) have a higher crash risk than vehciles traveling ...

"For some strange reason we seemed to get a rather different feel on the album because of the way we were forced to record it, and even allowing for the problems we had, none of us were really displeased with the result.
Led Zeppelin and The Who are probably in there somewhere because they were among our favorite groups, but what we are trying to do differently from either of those groups was this sort of layered sound. The Who had the open chord guitar sound, and there's a bit of that in 'Father To Son', but our sound ...
