Twilight zone patch

Commence scale-up : Build up to a fleet of systems in the patch capable of cleaning at a rate of at least 50 percent of the patch every five years. As the problem is getting worse by the day, and as the plastic in the patch continues to fragment into toxic microplastics, it is therefore key that we reach proven technology status as soon as possible.

Our first attempt at doing so was deployed last year: System aka Wilson. After months of testing, we took Wilson back to port in the first days of this year, after it suffered a fatigue fracture. This was not ideal, but both the diagnosis and solution came quite easily. This meant plastic would float into the system, as planned, but then float out again. This allowed us to trial configurations that both sped up the system and slowed it down, in an attempt to find one that would result in a consistent speed difference between the system and the plastic.

Overall, all configurations performed better than Wilson; in all tests, the system generally experienced a positive speed differential, meaning that the plastic entered the system from the correct side. But the winning concept is the slow-down approach , in which we use a parachute anchor to slow down the system as much as possible, allowing the natural winds and waves to push the plastic into the system.

This is all good news and a key step in the right direction; however, we are not at proven technology status just yet. When we modified the design from System , we moved the screen forward slightly, away from the floater pipe, to eliminate the rail connection the cause of the fracture and simplify the design.

A cork line, like you would see to section off a swimming pool, is used to hold the screen in place and prevent it from going slack and sinking. Get the item you ordered or get your money back.

More like one insignificant corner patch in the crazy quilt of combat. But it was enough to end the existence of this little city. This is the first day of the sixth year—as man used to measure time. Perhaps a hundred years from now. Or sooner. The Place?

The signposts are in English so that we may read them more easily, but the place—is the Twilight Zone. We open on a deserted city, a city that said goodbye to the spirit of progress and the electric hum of bustling streets ages ago.

A city that clings to a world forgotten, one ripped apart and abandoned by those who helped build it. A city whose buildings lay in ruin, whose streets are littered with debris, whose stores are empty.

A lonely city. A young woman enters the city. It is an "A" performance by my standards. Ablert Salmi was the perfect character to cast as Joe Caswell. Acting from all was quite acceptable but utterly amazing from Salmi. He projected every bit of his character to perfection. And I love Serling's script! It makes it extraordinarily chilling to watch him in anything, knowing what lay ahead for him.

As the critic Stanley Kauffmann so wisely said, about the nature of the film medium's power to keep people alive long after their death: "On television, every day and night, inevitabilities laugh at us all. This most recent time I thoroughly enjoyed the episode. Joe Caswell, is definitely a 19th century primitive even by those standards and ends up killing the scientist and is stunned when the tape recorder falls to the floor and hears the professor's voice predicting the impending doom of Caswell being transported to the 20th century!.
