Stops working - must reboot to restart Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I love this add-on, but I've been having a problem for a long time where it stops working. Not completely -- the box that displays the font info still comes up, but nothing happens when I mouse over text. I think maybe it might happen if I click on the page when TypeGuage is active.It's very frustrating because I often have several tabs open and am logged into websites, so if I want to use TypeGuage I have to restart my browser and log back into my sites.Any idea what's going on, and if it's a bug, is there a fix in the works?

Great tool, but lose it on dark pages Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I love the MeasureIt tool, and use it frequently. I have two issues that I'd love to see fixed (or explained what I'm doing wrong):

One is that I lose the crosshairs on web pages with a dark background. I'd love for the tool to automatically turn white or yellow or red or some easily see-able color on dark pages.

The other is that I find that the boxes are not re-sizable. I thought they used to be. Can that be fixed?

And a feature request: It would be great to be able to specify an exact size so that I don't have to struggle to drag a box of a certain size. Additionally, it would also be useful to be able to specify one dimension, but let the other be changeable when the box is drawn.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.4.10).

    Default Sour smell in old house that come & goes

    We have a 1930s house that we took down to the studs 10 years ago and put back together. Last winter we had a "fishy" smell in a little entry that sticks out of the house. I had to hang heavy blankets to try to keep the smell out of the rest of the house. Sometimes the smell comes back for a while. It is very strong, almost burns the nose. Doesn't seem to matter on the weather, can be hot/humid or rainy or dead of winter.

    Now another "fishy" smell came last night at top of stairs. I can't quite put my nose on it, where it's coming from. It is very strong & offensive. Makes me want to move out! We have all hardwood floors. All old has been gutted out except between stairways going up & down stairs, this would be still the old lathe and plaster and possibly any old droppings that could've gotten between there. (When we took old walls apart they were filled 3-ft high with animal droppings and misc they had carried in.)

    We have had lots of bats in our attic. I've heard that bats have a really bad smell. Don't know how to tell if it's something like this or where it's coming from.

    Default Re: Sour smell in old house that come & goes

    What make drywall did you use? At about the time you did your remodel there was some drywall that was causing mold. I believe it came from China. I hope that's not your problem. Most of it was found in Mississippi and Alabama after the storms. Not sure about this but I think there were some class actions suits on this.

    I recently learned that those class action suits are now settled, and the courts have set a specific time to file claims.

    If your drywall was imported from China, don't wait, make your claim now. You can find out where and how by searching on google.

    I'm not sure if this helps but any chance it could be a dead bat or rodent? I recently came across this but it was more of a rotten meat smell rather than fishy.

I purchased a second hand iPhone 4 from a friend at Xmas when she ungraded to the iPhone 5. As part of her contract her old phone could now be unlocked. She sent a request for me on the 23 Dec and never heard anymore from apple or Vodafone. A new request was submitted about a week ago and according to Vodafone this phone has now been unlocked and was instructed to connect it to iTunes. I did this, backed the phone up, then restored it, the inserted new SIM card and connected to iTunes and still nothing!!!! When I first tried to connect it, it said activation failed. I was then given the instructions by Vodafone to back up restore etc which I have done. Every time I put a tmobile sim in it says no sim inserted. Please can someone help as this has been going on since December and I'm now fed up, Vodafone have said there's nothing more they can do :))))

Codex Magliabechiano

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Reverse of folio 11 of the Codex Magliabechiano, showing the day signs Flint (knife), Rain, Flower, and Crocodile.

The Codex Magliabechiano is a pictorial Aztec codex created during the mid-16th century, in the early Spanish colonial period. It is representative of a set of codices known collectively as the Magliabechiano Group. Others in the group include the Codex Tudela and the Codex Ixtlilxochitl.

The Codex Magliabechiano is primarily a religious document. Its 92 pages are almost a glossary of cosmological and religious elements. They depict in turn the 20 day-names of the tonalpohualli the 18 monthly feasts, and the 52-year cycle. They also show various deities, indigenous religious rites, costumes, and cosmological beliefs.

The Codex Magliabechiano is based on an earlier unknown codex, which is assumed to have been the prototype for the Magliabechiano Group. It is named after Antonio Magliabechi, a 17th-century Italian manuscript collector, and is presently held in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Florence, Italy.

It was created on European paper, with drawings and Spanish language text on both sides of each page. Some of the images are included below.

Tirpitz was the second of two Bismarck-class battleships built for Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine (War Navy) during World War II. Named after Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz, the architect of the Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial Navy), the ship was laid down at the Kriegsmarinewerft Wilhelmshaven in November 1936 and her hull was launched two and a half years later. Work was completed in February 1941, when she was commissioned into the German fleet. Like her sister ship Bismarck, Tirpitz was armed with a main battery of eight 38-centimeter (15 in) guns in four twin turrets. After a series of wartime modifications she was 2,000 metric tons (2,000 long tons; 2,200 short tons) heavier than Bismarck, making her the heaviest battleship ever built by a European Navy.[3]

After completing sea trials in early 1941, Tirpitz briefly served as the centrepiece of the Baltic Fleet, which was intended to prevent a possible break-out attempt by the Soviet Baltic Fleet. In early 1942, the ship sailed to Norway to act as a deterrent against an Allied invasion. While stationed in Norway, Tirpitz was also intended to be used to intercept Allied convoys to the Soviet Union, and two such missions were attempted in 1942. Tirpitz acted as a fleet in being, forcing the British Royal Navy to retain significant naval forces in the area to contain the battleship.[4]

In September 1943, Tirpitz, along with the battleship Scharnhorst, bombarded Allied positions on the island of Spitzbergen, the only time the ship used her main battery in combat. Shortly thereafter, the ship was damaged in an attack by British mini-submarines and subsequently subjected to a series of large-scale air raids. On 12 November 1944, British Lancaster bombers equipped with 12,000-pound (5,400 kg) "Tallboy" bombs destroyed the ship; two direct hits and a near miss caused the ship to capsize rapidly. A deck fire spread to the ammunition magazine for one of the main battery turrets, which caused a large explosion. Figures for the number of men killed in the attack range from 950 to 1,204. Between 1948 and 1957 the wreck was broken up by a joint Norwegian and German salvage operation.

Construction and characteristics[edit]

Tirpitz was ordered as Ersatz Schleswig-Holstein as a replacement for the old pre-dreadnought Schleswig-Holstein, under the contract name "G".[1] The Kriegsmarinewerft shipyard in Wilhelmshaven was awarded the contract, where the keel was laid on 20 October 1936.[5] The hull was launched on 1 April 1939; during the elaborate ceremonies, the ship was christened by the daughter of Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz, the ship's namesake.[6] Adolf von Trotha, a former admiral in the Imperial German Navy, spoke at the ship's launching, which was also attended by Adolf Hitler.[7] Fitting-out work followed her launch, and was completed by February 1941.[6] British bombers repeatedly attacked the harbour in which the ship was being built; no bombs struck Tirpitz, but the attacks did slow construction work.[8] Tirpitz was commissioned into the fleet on 25 February for sea trials,[2] which were conducted in the Baltic.[6]

Tirpitz sliding down the slipway at her launch

Tirpitz displaced 42,900 t (42,200 long tons) as built and 52,600 metric tons (51,800 long tons) fully loaded, with a length of 251 m (823 ft 6 in), a beam of 36 m (118 ft 1 in) and a maximum draft of 10.6 m (34 ft 9 in).[c] She was powered by three Brown, Boveri & Cie geared steam turbines and twelve oil-fired Wagner superheated boilers, which developed a total of 163,026 shaft horsepower (121,568 kW) and yielded a maximum speed of 30.8 kn (57.0 km/h; 35.4 mph) on speed trials.[1] Her standard crew numbered 103 officers and 1,962 enlisted men; during the war this was increased to 108 officers and 2,500 men.[2] As built, Tirpitz was equipped with Model 23 search radars[d] mounted on the forward, foretop, and rear rangefinders. These were later replaced with Model 27 and then Model 26 radars, which had a larger antenna array. A Model 30 radar, known as the Hohentwiel, was mounted in 1944 in her topmast, and a Model 213 Würzburg fire-control radar was added on her stern 10.5 cm (4.1 in) Flak rangefinders.[11]

She was armed with eight 38 cm SK C/34 L/52 guns arranged in four twin gun turrets: two superfiring turrets forward—Anton and Bruno—and two aft—Caesar and Dora.[e] Her secondary armament consisted of twelve 15 cm L/55 guns, sixteen 10.5 cm L/65 and sixteen 3.7 cm (1.5 in) L/83, and initially twelve 2 cm (0.79 in) antiaircraft guns. The number of 2 cm guns was eventually increased to 58. After 1942, eight 53.3 cm (21.0 in) above-water torpedo tubes were installed.[2] The ship's main belt was 320 mm (13 in) thick and was covered by a pair of upper and main armoured decks that were 50 mm (2.0 in) and 100 to 120 mm (3.9 to 4.7 in) thick, respectively. The 38 cm turrets were protected by 360 mm (14 in) thick faces and 220 mm (8.7 in) thick sides.[1]

Service history[edit]

After sea trials, Tirpitz was stationed in Kiel and performed intensive training in the Baltic. While the ship was in Kiel, Germany invaded the Soviet Union. A temporary Baltic Fleet was created to prevent the possible break-out of the Soviet fleet based in Leningrad. Tirpitz was briefly made the flagship of the squadron, which consisted of the heavy cruiser Admiral Scheer, the light cruisers Köln, Nürnberg, Leipzig, and Emden, several destroyers, and two flotillas of minesweepers.[8] The Baltic Fleet, under the command of Admiral Otto Ciliax,[7] patrolled off the Aaland Islands from 23 to 26 September 1941, after which the unit disbanded and Tirpitz resumed training.[13] During the training period, Tirpitz tested her primary and secondary guns on the old pre-dreadnought battleship Hessen,[14] which had been converted into a radio-controlled target ship.[15] The British Royal Air Force (RAF) continued to launch unsuccessful bombing raids on Tirpitz while she was stationed in Kiel.[16]

Deployment to Norway[edit]

Tirpitz camouflaged in the Fættenfjord

Admiral Erich Raeder, the commander of the Kriegsmarine, proposed on 13 November that Tirpitz be deployed to Norway. The ship would be able to attack convoys bound for the Soviet Union, as well as act as a fleet in being to tie down British naval assets and deter an Allied invasion of Norway. Hitler, who had forbidden an Atlantic sortie after the loss of Bismarck, agreed to the proposal. The ship was taken into dock for modifications for the deployment. The ship's antiaircraft battery was strengthened and the 10.5 cm guns on the superstructure next to the catapult were moved outboard to increase their field of fire. The two quadruple 53.3 cm torpedo tube mounts were also installed during this refit.[17] The ship's commander, Kapitän zur See (KzS—Captain at Sea) Karl Topp,[18] pronounced the ship ready for combat operations on 10 January 1942.[16] The following day, Tirpitz left for Wilhelmshaven, a move designed to conceal her actual destination.[17]

The ship left Wilhelmshaven at 23:00 on 14 January and made for Trondheim.[17] British military intelligence, which was capable of decrypting the Enigma messages sent by the German navy, detected the departure of the vessel, but poor weather in Britain prevented action by the RAF.[19] Admiral John Tovey, the commander in chief of the British Home Fleet, was not made aware of Tirpitz's activities until 17 January, well after the ship had arrived in Norway.[20] On 16 January, British aerial reconnaissance located the ship in Trondheim. Tirpitz then moved to the Fættenfjord, just north of Trondheim.[21] The movement was codenamed Operation Polarnacht (Polar Night); the battleship was escorted by the destroyers Z4 Richard Beitzen, Z5 Paul Jakobi, Z8 Bruno Heinemann and Z29 for the voyage.[22] She was moored next to a cliff, which protected the ship from air attacks from the southwest. The ship's crew cut down trees and placed them aboard Tirpitz to camouflage her.[21] Additional antiaircraft batteries were installed around the fjord, as were anti-torpedo nets and heavy booms in the entrance to the anchorage.[23] Life for the crew of Tirpitz was very monotonous during the deployment to Norway. Frequent fuel shortages curtailed training and kept the battleship and her escorts moored behind their protective netting. The crew was primarily occupied with maintaining the ship and continuously manning antiaircraft defences. Sports activities were organised to keep the crew occupied and physically fit.[24]

Operations against Allied convoys[edit]

Several factors served to restrain Tirpitz's freedom of operation in Norway. The most pressing were shortages of fuel and the withdrawal of the German destroyer forces to support Operation Cerberus, the movement of the battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau and the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen up through the English Channel. These caused a planned attack against the outbound convoy PQ 8 at the end of January to be abandoned.[25] A planned British air attack at the end of January by four-engined heavy bombers was disrupted by poor weather over the target, which prevented the aircraft from finding the ship.[26] In early February, Tirpitz took part in the deceptions that distracted the British in the run-up to Operation Cerberus. These included steaming out of the fjord and the appearance of preparations for a sortie into the North Sea.[27] Later that month, the ship was reinforced by the heavy cruisers Admiral Scheer and Prinz Eugen and several destroyers. Prinz Eugen had been torpedoed by a British submarine at the entrance to the Fættenfjord, and was therefore temporarily out of action.[28]

Tirpitz underway, probably in 1941

In March 1942 Tirpitz and Admiral Scheer, along with the destroyers Z14 Friedrich Ihn, Z5 Paul Jakobi, Z7 Hermann Schoemann and Z25 and a pair of torpedo boats,[22] were intended to attack the homebound convoy QP 8 and the outbound PQ 12 as part of Operation Sportpalast (Sports Palace).[25][29] Admiral Scheer,[25] with a design speed of 26 kn (48 km/h; 30 mph),[30] was too slow to operate with Tirpitz, and was left in port,[25] as was the destroyer Paul Jakobi. The two torpedo boats were also released from the operation.[22] On 5 March, Luftwaffe reconnaissance aircraft spotted PQ 12 near Jan Mayen Island; the reconnaissance failed to note the battleship HMS Duke of York or the battlecruiser HMS Renown, both of which escorted the convoy, along with four destroyers. Unknown to the Germans, Admiral Tovey provided distant support to the convoys with the battleship HMS King George V, the aircraft carrier HMS Victorious, the heavy cruiser HMS Berwick, and six destroyers. Enigma intercepts again forewarned the British of Tirpitz's attack, which allowed them to reroute the convoys. Admiral Tovey attempted to pursue Tirpitz on 9 March,[25] but Admiral Otto Ciliax, the commander of the German squadron, had decided to return to port the previous evening. An air attack was launched early on the 9th; twelve Fairey Albacore torpedo bombers attacked the ship in three groups, and Tirpitz successfully evaded the torpedoes. Only three men were wounded in the attack.[31] Tirpitz's anti-aircraft gunners shot down two of the British aircraft.[32] After the conclusion of the attack, Tirpitz made for Vestfjord, and from there to Trondheim, arriving on the evening of 13 March.[33] On 30 March, thirty-three Halifax bombers attacked the ship; they scored no hits and five aircraft were shot down.[34] The RAF launched a pair of unsuccessful strikes in late April. On the night of 27–28 April, thirty-one Halifaxes and twelve Lancasters; five of the bombers were shot down. Another raid, composed of twenty-three Halifaxes and eleven Lancasters, took place the following night. Two of the bombers were shot down by the German anti-aircraft defences.[35]

The actions of Tirpitz and her escorting destroyers in March used up 8,230 metric tons (8,100 long tons; 9,070 short tons) of fuel oil, which greatly reduced the available fuel supply. It took the Germans three months to replenish the fuel spent in the attempt to intercept the two Allied convoys. Convoy PQ 17, which left Iceland on 27 June bound for the Soviet Union, was the next convoy targeted by Tirpitz and the rest of the German fleet stationed in Norway,[33] during Operation Rösselsprung (Knight's Move).[36] Escorting the convoy were the battleships Duke of York and USS Washington and the carrier Victorious.[33] Tirpitz, Admiral Hipper, and six destroyers sortied from Trondheim, while a second task force consisting of Lützow, Admiral Scheer, and six destroyers operated out of Narvik and Bogenfjord.[37] Lützow and three of the destroyers struck uncharted rocks while en route to the rendezvous and had to return to port. Shortly after Tirpitz left Norway, the Soviet submarine K-21 fired two or four torpedoes at the ship, all of which missed.[38][39] The Soviets claimed two hits on the battleship.[40] Swedish intelligence had meanwhile reported the German departures to the British Admiralty, which ordered the convoy to disperse. Aware that they had been detected, the Germans aborted the operation and turned over the attack to U-boats and the Luftwaffe. The scattered vessels could no longer be protected by the convoy escorts, and the Germans sank 21 of the 34 isolated transports. Tirpitz returned to Altafjord via the Lofoten Islands.[38]

Tirpitz, escorted by several destroyers, steaming in the Bogenfjord in October 1942

Following Operation Rösselsprung, the Germans moved Tirpitz to Bogenfjord near Narvik. By this time, the ship needed a major overhaul. Hitler had forbidden the ship to make the dangerous return to Germany, and so the overhaul was conducted in Trondheim. On 23 October, the ship left Bogenfjord and returned to Fættenfjord outside Trondheim. The defences of the anchorage were further strengthened; additional antiaircraft guns were installed and double anti-torpedo nets were erected around the vessel. The repairs were conducted in limited phases, such that Tirpitz would remain partially operational for the majority of the overhaul. A caisson was built around the stern to allow the replacement of the ship's rudders.[38] During the repair process, the British attempted to attack the battleship with two Chariot human torpedoes, but rough seas caused the human torpedoes to break away from the fishing vessel which was towing them, before they could be launched.[41] By 28 December, the overhaul had been completed, and Tirpitz began sea trials. She conducted gunnery trials on 4 January 1943 in the Trondheimfjord.[42] On 21 February, Topp was promoted to Rear Admiral and was replaced by Captain Hans Meyer; five days later the battleship Scharnhorst was ordered to reinforce the fleet in Norway. Vice Admiral Oskar Kummetz was given command of the warships stationed in Norway.[43]

By the time Scharnhorst arrived in Norway in March 1943, Allied convoys to the Soviet Union had temporarily ceased. To give the ships an opportunity to work together, Admiral Karl Dönitz, who had replaced Raeder in the aftermath of the Battle of the Barents Sea on 31 December 1942, ordered an attack on the island of Spitzbergen, which housed a British weather station and refuelling base.[42] Several settlements and outposts on Spitzbergen were defended by a garrison of 152 men from the Norwegian Armed Forces in exile.[44] The two battleships, escorted by ten destroyers, left port on 6 September; in a ruse de guerre, Tirpitz flew the white ensign on the approach to the island the following day.[45] During the bombardment, Tirpitz fired 52 main-battery shells and 82 rounds from her 15 cm secondaries.[46] This was the first and only time the ship fired her main battery at an enemy target.[42] An assault force destroyed shore installations and captured 74 prisoners.[44][47] By 11:00, the battleships had destroyed their targets and headed back to their Norwegian ports.[42]

British attacks on Tirpitz[edit]

Operation Source[edit]

Main article: Operation Source
Tirpitz in the Ofotfjord/Bogenfjord

The British were determined to neutralise Tirpitz and remove the threat she posed to Allied lines of communication in the Arctic. Following the repeated, ineffectual bombing attacks and the failed Chariot attack in October 1942, the British turned to the newly designed X Craft midget submarines.[42] The planned attack, Operation Source, included attacks on Tirpitz, Scharnhorst, and Lützow.[48] The X Craft were towed by large submarines to their destinations, where they could slip under anti-torpedo nets to each drop two powerful 2 tonne mines on the sea bed under the bottom of the target. Ten vessels were assigned to the operation, scheduled for 20–25 September 1943. Only eight of the vessels reached Norway for the attack, which began early on 22 September.[42] Three of the vessels, X5, X6, and X7, successfully breached Tirpitz's defences, two of which—X6 and X7—managed to lay their mines. X5 was detected some 200 m (660 ft) from the nets and sunk by a combination of gunfire and depth charges.[49]

The mines caused extensive damage to the ship; the first exploded abreast of turret Caesar and the second detonated 45 to 55 m (148 to 180 ft) off the port bow.[50] A fuel oil tank was ruptured, shell plating was torn, a large indentation was formed in the bottom of the ship and bulkheads in the double bottom buckled. Some 1,430 t (1,410 long tons; 1,580 short tons) of water flooded the ship in fuel tanks and void spaces in the double bottom of the port side, which caused a list of one to two degrees, which was balanced by counter-flooding on the starboard side. The flooding damaged all of the turbo-generators in generator room No. 2, and all apart from one generator in generator room No. 1 were disabled by broken steam lines or severed power cables. Turret Dora was thrown from its bearings and could not be rotated; this was particularly significant, as there were no heavy-lift cranes in Norway powerful enough to lift the turret and place it back on its bearings.[51] The ship's two Arado Ar 196 floatplanes were thrown by the explosive concussion and completely destroyed. Repairs were conducted by the repair ship Neumark; historians William Garzke and Robert Dulin remarked that the successful repair effort was "one of the most notable feats of naval engineering during the Second World War."[52] Repairs lasted until 2 April 1944; full speed trials were scheduled for the following day in Altafjord.[53]

Operation Tungsten[edit]

Main article: Operation Tungsten
Tirpitz under attack by British carrier aircraft on 3 April 1944

The British were aware that Neumark and the repair crews left in March, which intimated Tirpitz was nearly operational.[53] A major air strike—Operation Tungsten—involving the fleet carriers Victorious and Furious and the escort carriers Emperor, Fencer, Pursuer, and Searcher,[54] was set for 4 April 1944, but rescheduled a day earlier when Enigma decrypts revealed that Tirpitz was to depart at 05:29 on 3 April for sea trials.[53] The attack consisted of 40 Barracuda dive-bombers carrying 1,600-pound (730 kg) armor-piercing bombs and 40 escorting fighters in two waves, scoring fifteen direct hits and two near misses.[54][55] The aircraft achieved surprise, and only one was lost in the first wave; it took twelve to fourteen minutes for all of Tirpitz's antiaircraft batteries to be fully manned. The first wave struck at 05:29, as tugs were preparing to assist the ship out of her mooring. The second wave arrived over the target an hour later, shortly after 06:30. Despite the alertness of the German antiaircraft gunners, only one other bomber was shot down.[56]

The air strike caused significant damage to the ship and inflicted serious casualties. William Garzke and Robert Dulin report the attack killed 122 men and wounded 316 others,[56] while Hildebrand, Röhr, & Steinmetz report 132 fatalities and 270 wounded men, including the ship's commander, KzS Hans Meyer.[57] Two of the 15 cm turrets were destroyed by bombs and both Ar 196 floatplanes were destroyed. Several of the bomb hits caused serious fires aboard the ship. Concussive shock disabled the starboard turbine engine and saltwater used to fight the fires reached the boilers and contaminated the feed water. Some 2,000 t (2,000 long tons; 2,200 short tons) of water flooded the ship, primarily through the two holes in the side shell created by shell splinters from near misses. Water used to fight the fires also contributed to the flooding.[58] Dönitz ordered the ship be repaired, regardless of the cost, despite the fact that he understood Tirpitz could no longer be used in a surface action because of insufficient fighter support. Repair work began in early May; destroyers ferried important equipment and workers from Kiel to Altafjord over the span of three days. By 2 June, the ship was again able to steam under her own power, and by the end of the month gunnery trials were possible. During the repair process, the 15 cm guns were modified to allow their use against aircraft, and specially-fuzed 38 cm shells for barrage antiaircraft fire were supplied.[59]

Operations Planet, Brawn, Tiger Claw, Mascot and Goodwood[edit]

Tirpitz moored in Kaafjord; the smoke is an artificial fog generated to hide the ship

A series of carrier strikes were planned over the next three months, but bad weather forced their cancellation. A repeat of Operation Tungsten, codenamed Operation Planet, was scheduled for 24 April. Operation Brawn, which was to have been carried out by 27 bombers and 36 fighters from Victorious and Furious, was to have taken place on 15 May, and Operation Tiger Claw was intended for 28 May. Victorious and Furious were joined by Indefatigable for Operation Mascot, which was to have been carried out on 17 July by 62 bombers and 30 fighters. The weather finally broke in late August, which saw the Goodwood series of attacks. Operations Goodwood I and II were launched on 22 August; a carrier force consisting of the fleet carriers Furious, Indefatigable and Formidable and the escort carriers Nabob and Trumpeter launched a total of 38 bombers and 43 escort fighters between the two raids. The attacks failed to inflict any damage on Tirpitz,[54] and three of the attacking aircraft were shot down.[59] Goodwood III followed on 24 August, composed of aircraft from the fleet carriers only. Forty-eight bombers and 29 fighters attacked the ship and scored two hits which caused minor damage.[54] One, a 1600-pound bomb, penetrated the upper and lower armour decks and came to rest in the No. 4 switchboard room. Its fuze had been damaged and the bomb did not detonate. The second, a 500-pound (230 kg) bomb, exploded but caused only superficial damage. Six planes were shot down in the attack.[60][61] Goodwood IV followed on the 29th, with 34 bombers and 25 fighters from Formidable and Indefatigable. Heavy fog prevented any hits from being scored.[54] One Firefly and a Corsair were shot down by Tirpitz's gunners. The battleship expended 54 rounds from her main guns, 161 from the 15 cm guns and up to 20 percent of her light antiaircraft ammunition.[62]

Operations Paravane and Obviate[edit]

The ineffectiveness of the great majority of the strikes launched by the Fleet Air Arm in mid-1944 led to the task of Tirpitz's destruction being transferred to the RAF's No. 5 Group. The RAF used Lancaster bombers to carry 6-short-ton (5.4 t) Tallboy bombs to penetrate the ship's heavy armour.[63] The first attack, Operation Paravane, took place on 15 September 1944; operating from a forward base at Yagodnik in Russia, 23 Lancasters (17 each carrying one Tallboy and six each carrying twelve JW mines), scored a single hit on the ship's bow.[54] The Tallboy penetrated the ship, exited the keel, and exploded in the bottom of the fjord. 800 to 1,000 t (790 to 980 long tons; 880 to 1,100 short tons) of water flooded the bow and caused a serious increase in trim forward. The ship was rendered unseaworthy and was limited to 8 to 10 kn (15 to 19 km/h; 9.2 to 11.5 mph). Concussive shock caused severe damage to fire-control equipment. The damage persuaded the naval command to repair the ship for use only as a floating gun battery. Repair work was estimated to take nine months, but patching of the holes could be effected within a few weeks, allowing Tirpitz to be moved further south to Tromsø. On 15 October, the ship made the 200 nmi (370 km; 230 mi) trip to Tromsø under her own power, the last voyage of her career.[64]

The RAF made a second attempt on 29 October, after the ship was moored off Håkøya Island outside Tromsø. Thirty-two Lancasters attacked the ship with Tallboys during Operation Obviate.[54] As on Operation Paravane, No. 9 Squadron and No. 617 Squadron carried out the attack together, which resulted in only one near miss,[64] partially the result of bad weather over the target.[65] The underwater explosion damaged the port rudder and shaft and caused some flooding. Tirpitz's 38 cm fragmentation shells proved ineffective in countering the high-level bombers; one aircraft was damaged by ground-based anti-aircraft guns.[64] Following the attack, the ship's anchorage was significantly improved. A large sand bank was constructed under and around the ship to prevent her from capsizing and anti-torpedo nets were installed. Tirpitz retained a one-degree list to port from earlier damage, and this was not corrected by counter-flooding to retain as much reserve buoyancy as possible. The ship was also prepared for her role as a floating artillery platform: fuel was limited to only what was necessary to power the turbo-generators and the crew was reduced to 1,600 officers and enlisted men.[66]

Operation Catechism[edit]

Universal Newsreel about the attack on Tirpitz

Operation Catechism, the final British attack on Tirpitz, took place on 12 November 1944.[54] The ship again used her 38 cm guns against the bombers, which approached the battleship at 09:35; Tirpitz's main guns forced the bombers to disperse temporarily, but could not break up the attack.[67] A force of 32 Lancasters from Nos. 9 and 617 Squadrons dropped 29 Tallboys on the ship, with two direct hits and one near miss.[54] Several other bombs landed within the anti-torpedo net barrier and caused significant cratering of the seabed; this removed much of the sandbank that had been constructed to prevent the ship from capsizing. One bomb penetrated the ship's deck between turrets Anton and Bruno but failed to explode. A second hit amidships between the aircraft catapult and the funnel and caused severe damage. A very large hole was blown into the ship's side and bottom; the entire section of belt armour abreast of the bomb hit was completely destroyed. A third bomb may have struck the ship on the port side of turret Caesar.[67] The amidships hit caused significant flooding and quickly increased the port list to between 15 and 20 degrees. In ten minutes, the list increased to 30 to 40 degrees; the captain issued the order to abandon ship. Progressive flooding increased the list to 60 degrees by 09:50, though this appeared to stabilise temporarily. Eight minutes later, a large explosion rocked turret Caesar. The turret roof and part of the rotating structure were thrown 25 m (82 ft) into the air and over into a group of men swimming to shore, crushing them. Tirpitz then rapidly rolled over and buried her superstructure in the sea floor.[68]

Tirpitz capsized

In the aftermath of the attack, rescue operations attempted to reach men trapped in the hull. Workers rescued 82 men by cutting through the bottom hull plates.[54] Figures for the death toll vary from approximately 950 to 1,204.[f] Approximately 200 survivors of the sinking were transferred to the heavy cruiser Lützow in January 1945.[71] The wreck remained in place until after the war, when a joint German-Norwegian company began salvage operations. Work lasted from 1948 until 1957;[2] fragments of the ship are still sold by a Norwegian company.[18] Ludovic Kennedy wrote in his history of the vessel that she "lived an invalid's life and died a cripple's death".[72]

The performance of the Luftwaffe in the defence of Tirpitz was highly criticised after her loss. Major Heinrich Ehrler, the commander of III./Jagdgeschwader 5 (3rd Group of the 5th Fighter Wing), was blamed for the Luftwaffe's failure to intercept the British bombers. He was subsequently court-martialled in Oslo and threatened with the death penalty. Evidence was shown that his unit had failed to help the Kriegsmarine when requested. He was sentenced to three years in prison, but he was released after a month, demoted, and reassigned to an Me 262 fighter squadron in Germany.[73] Ehrler was exonerated by further investigations which concluded that the reason behind the fiasco was poor communication between the Kriegsmarine and the Luftwaffe[74] and the aircrews had not been informed that the Tirpitz had been moved off Håkøya a couple of weeks earlier.[75]

  1. ^ Tirpitz's draft at full load was 10.6 metres (34 ft 9 in).[1]
  2. ^ Crew could be augmented up to 108 officers and 2,500 enlisted men.[2]
  3. ^ According to naval historians Gerhard Koop and Klaus-Peter Schmolke, Tirpitz displaced 53,500 metric tons (52,700 long tons; 59,000 short tons) at full load in 1944.[9]
  4. ^ Named FuMO for Funkmessortungsgerät (Radio direction-finding device).[10]
  5. ^ SK stands for Schiffskanone (ship's gun), C/34 stands for Constructionjahr (Construction year) 1934, and L/52 denotes the length of the gun in terms of calibres, meaning that the gun is 52 times long as it is in internal diameter.[12]
  6. ^ John Sweetman states that 1,000 out of a crew of 1,900 were killed,[69] while Niklas Zetterling and Michael Tamelander estimated nearly 1,000 deaths.[70] Siegfried Breyer and Erich Gröner agree on 1,204 deaths,[2][54] and Gordon Williamson gives the death toll at 971.[18] William Dulin and Robert Dulin place the number of deaths at "about 950."[68]

Customer Reviews

Clunky frustrating and inefficient way to access a great service

It is a fantastic evolution to be able to access and borrow digital media from libraries. This app does the job, but its integration with individual library services is so clunky that it cannot remember you user id, password and won't auto sync borrowed items with your account. There is no syncing across devices. After going trough the rigmarole of logging in, it is too easy to accidentally sign out or to navigate to a page on the library's site and find yourself automatically logged out and having to start all over again.

A most frustrating way to access great content.

Overdrive - fantastic app

This is working really well for me and I love that I can now borrow library books for iPad use. I don't have any negative issues with the app except that it doesn't always seem to sync across my iPads to show where I am up to in my book. That doesn't overly bother me (though it would be nice if that function worked well). All in all a fantastic app that I use all the time and am so pleased to have. Thanks a lot.

Wish it would remember my library branch

Good app for borrowing books but unnecessarily hard to log into my library, enter my extremely long and complex library card number and password. Should be able to remember my library branch, not just the state library name and also be able to remember my library card number and even possibly my password. WOULD BE LOVELY TO OPEN THE APP AND FIND MYSELF LOGGED IN AND AT MY ACCOUNT PAGE OR IF I HAD MORE THAN ONE LIBRARY WITH A SIMPLE CHOICE OF AVAILABLE LIBRARIES AND THE AUTO LOG IN TO THE SELECTED ONE.

StompBox turns your iPad into a flexible Multi FX Processor, it includes 17 effects plus a 4 Track Recorder and Media Player.

StompBox supports AudioBus and Apple’s Inter-App Audio making an excellent general purpose audio processing tool for all musicians, not just guitarists.

As seen in Apples "Love" iPad TV Commercial.

With StompBox you get the best of both worlds, a rack of professional sounding stereo effects (with far more control than simple foot pedals) and a foot controller to access a tuner and all your patches.

Simply listen through a pair of headphones, or attach to an external amplifier or hifi to truly experience the program in all its glory!

Once you have built up a library of patches, you can use the virtual foot controller to quickly and easily move between patches. The Virtual Foot controller gives instant access to all patch parameters and amp settings, with the ability to enable and disable individual effects at the touch of a button. If you want to modify an effect parameter, simply scroll the effect rack into view and make your changes.

Guitar and Bass Multi FX Processor
16 Unique Effects available
7 Types of Distortion
Chain upto 12 Simultaneous Effects
Media Player with Time Stretching
4 Track Loop Recorder (In-App Purchase)
Metronome/Chromatic Tuner
Stereo Routing
Save 12 banks of 6 patches
Virtual Foot Controller
Virtual Whammy Pedal
Tap Tempo
Compatible with range of hardware interfaces
3 Unique Skins

Many guitar apps use a form of Amp Modelling which in most cases is just fancy form of EQ. This is great for electric guitars, but not so good for accoustic. StompBox allows various amp EQ's both via the PreAmp and additional effects, but the important thing for accoutic guitar users is that these EQ's can be completely bypassed. This is where StompBox really shines, giving a faithful reproduction of accoustic instruments. This also means StompBox can be used on keyboards too.

If you have any questions or issues you can contact us on

Avokiddo Emotions – Playful learning for kids

Open iTunes to buy and download apps.

#1 in Apple's list of favorite iPad apps (
Featured in Kids>Main Banner & Education>Main Banner in US, Canada, UK, Germany, Sweden, Austria and more

USA Today: “This gigglefest is a great way to start talking about the emotions”
Today’s Parent Magazine: "One of the 10 best back-to-school apps"
Common Sense Media: - "Hilarious and creative way for little ones to see emotions"
The iMums: “Be prepared to surrender your device!”
Best Apps For Kids: "An incredibly creative and entertaining app that will inspire children to use their imaginations"
Teachers With Apps: “An extraordinary educational tool to help kids develop their social and emotional awareness.”

Give your children a serious case of the giggles when you introduce them to a zany zebra, shy sheep and jolly giraffe. Discover these emotions and more by dressing up, feeding, sharing toys and interacting with them using over 100 uniquely themed props in this endless play funhouse.

Avokiddo Emotions lets kids of all ages explore feelings in an open ended free style playroom. There are no rules or pre-set expectations other than to have fun while learning fundamental social skills. Whether their intent is to make an animal laugh or cry, kids are in control every step of the way. Even the very youngest fans who aren’t yet able to quite grasp emotions will delight in the boisterous atmosphere and soon be able to trigger specific reactions.

Forget static flash cards with dead eyed actors. These animals each have personality to spare and are animated with realistic multi-faceted reactions to a whole host of scenarios. See them jump in response to a horn or alarm. Watch their ears flatten and droop when sad. Make their eyes roll and hear them snort with delight. Don't be surprised to hear some snorts and guffaws coming from your child as well. This app is all about learning through play.

The toothy grins and infectious laughter of the joyous giraffe, shimmying sheep and exuberant zebra will delight your children and provide active engagement and constructive entertainment. Share their excitement in transforming the giraffe into a disco dancer, join the zebra at a Mexican fiesta and join the sheep at his castle. Avokiddo Emotions is a horn tooting, bubble blowing, balloon popping good time.

Features & Highlights
• unlimited combinations of hats, glasses and clothing make for hours of repeat play
• a wide variety of toys, musical instruments, food and slurp-worthy drinks
• dozens of richly nuanced reactions & complex emotions expressed through body language
• language neutral interface without need for verbal or written directions
• lively music and authentic sound effects
• special accessories trigger themed backgrounds and laugh out loud movements
• save the most outrageous creations to the camera roll
• eye-catching, original HD graphics

Educational Value
• encourage imagination & creative expression through unfettered opportunities for pretend play
• practice following directions and answering simple “Wh” questions related to the animals’ responses
• inspire curiosity as youngsters explore cause & effect relationships
• build language as parents help children put names to the many emotions and physical reactions displayed
• develop empathy by connecting the animals' emotions both positive and negative to their causes
• make predictions based on how the animals will respond to various stimuli

AlphaDrop Lite

By RnD Apps

Open iTunes to buy and download apps.

AlphaDrop Lite is the ad-supported version of AlphaDrop.

Watch out! Letters are falling from the sky! AlphaDrop Lite is a word game with all the options you're looking for whether it's a fast-paced race against the clock or a relaxed cerebral experience.

You might be thinking, why do I need another word game? I've already got this one, that one and the other one. Well, here's why...

- AlphaDrop Lite includes ONE of FOUR games...

AlphaDrop Lite features Drop'Em mode where, as you may have guessed from my warning, letters fall onto the board from above. But don't let any of your letter columns get too high, or your game is over. All is not lost, however. Shake your device to clear all the fallen letters .

The paid version of AlphaDrop gets you three additional games. In Replace'Em mode, start with a full grid of 56 letters. As you use letters to spell words, those above slide down and new letters drop in to refill the grid. Also, don't miss , Clear'Em mode where you use letters one time only. The goal is to use all your letters, so choose your words carefully! Finally, in SpeedUp mode, create words just as you would in Drop'Em, but the longer you play, the faster the letters fall. How many levels can you conquer?

- Heaps of customization possibilities...

You can choose from among 5 Drop 'Em speeds to suit your age, ability and/or need for abuse and earn speed bonuses for the faster speeds. Play any of 5 timed games, or if countdowns don't suit you, go with a Marathon so your game can be as long as you like. You can quit your Marathon game at any time by touching the timer.

- AlphaDrop is pleasing on the eye...

What can be more relaxing than blue skies, fluffy clouds and colorful parachutes? Nothing comes to mind but give me a minute. Nope, I still can't think of anything. Anyway, you can choose among 50 different letter types or allow AlphaDrop to decide for you.

- AlphaDrop will make you smarter...

With an optimized dictionary search engine, your words are checked on the fly. When your current word appears in white text, you've chosen a valid word. Though I can't guarantee your spelling will improve, I'm pretty sure it will. Besides, sometimes you'll be surprised at what's in the dictionary!

- Simple to play...

Touch any letters whether or not they're connected to select or deselect them. When your game ends, just hit the play button to start a new one.

- For Drop'Em, play continues until either the countdown timer expires or if one of your columns reach the clouds.

- For Replace'Em, play continues until the timer expires or you touch the timer when playing a Marathon.

- For Clear'Em, play continues until you cleared all your letters or no more possible words exist.

- For SpeedUp, play continues until one of your columns reach the clouds, with letters falling faster with each level.

Well, that's about it. Hours of mind-stretching fun and enjoyment are just a click away. Enjoy!

In case you didn't feel like reading the above, AlphaDrop features...
- Drop 'Em game mode, with Replace Em', Clear 'Em, and SpeedUp game modes available with the purchase of AlphaDrop
- 5 timed game options plus a Marathon mode
- 5 speeds from Slow to Insane
- 50 letter styles
- Pause or exit at any time, you're game in progress can always be resumed
- Pleasing colors and graphics
- Mellow, but optional, sound effects
- Fast, on the fly dictionary search
- Comprehensive dictionary of 276,000+ words based on ENABLE2K
- Includes UK English words

Compucap - Horse Racing Handicapper

By Procypher Software Co.

Open iTunes to buy and download apps.

Computer Aided Horse Racing Handicapping System powered by Artificial Intelligence.

A great app for making horse racing handicapping easier and more accurate than ever. Whether you are experienced or a novice Compucap will improve your handicapping performance with documented winning results!

Share your reports quickly and easily with our built in email feature.

An example of Compucap's handicapping abilities, it correctly picked the 1st place horse to win and the 2nd place horse to show at Saratoga Raceway July 25, 2010 using the Intermediate handicapping level (see image below for details).

Novice: Horse Information for past performance inputs limited to 3 past race finish positions.

Intermediate: Horse Information entries using complete past performance inputs and preset weighting values.

Advanced: Horse Information entries using complete past performance inputs and customized weighting values set by user.

The weighting values set the level of importance per past performance input and are only applied when the Advanced Mode is chosen. High levels of importance emphasize the corresponding inputs more than lesser levels and Low levels place almost no importance on the corresponding inputs when calculating the final handicap.

Device Compatibility: All iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad models running iOS 3.2 and above.

Is & Are Fun Deck

By Super Duper Publications

Open iTunes to buy and download apps.

This colorful educational App for the iPhone®, iPad®, and iPod touch® has all 52 illustrated picture flash cards (plus audio of each card’s text) from the Is & Are Fun Deck® by Super Duper® Publications. Select the cards you want students to see, and have your students fill in the blank to learn how to use “is” and “are” correctly. The prompts include statements like, “The ant (is) having a picnic” and “The ants (are) having a picnic.” The Automatic Scoring option allows the students to choose from one of two answers to complete the sentence correctly.

This App is simple to use — each student looks at an illustration and either reads the prompt or touches the screen to listen to the prompt and answer choices. The student then responds by touching his/her answer. Move to the next card by sliding the card currently on the display screen to the side. To move to the next player, tap the bar at the top of the screen and select a name. You can also advance cards and players automatically by selecting the Auto-Advance option in the Game Options menu. You can leave a game temporarily and return to it later by selecting Pause Game from the menu. To return to the game, select Continue Game from the main menu. When you finish, view the results in a graph, and print or email your data.

Is & Are Fun Deck® App lets you:
• Use the app in portrait or landscape orientation.
• Select all 52 cards or just the ones you want students to see.
• Track correct and incorrect responses for an unlimited number of players.
• Advance players and cards manually or automatically.
• Receive feedback for incorrect and/or correct responses
• Discontinue game play and continue at any time.
• View results in a graph and see which questions a player missed during a session.
• Print, e-mail, and share your results.

Monaco Travels

Open iTunes to buy and download apps.

• Monte Carlo Chic Guide •

Loaded with more useful Monaco entries than any other Monaco app.

Don't miss out on Monaco and all it has to offer by stepping on the tour bus. Take this app and walk yourself through the best Monaco has to offer without having to sacrifice comfort or style. Monaco is the second smallest independent state in the world - it is smaller than New York's Central Park - walk it and experience it!

The Principality of Monaco, also known as Monte Carlo, is rich with history, culture and sophistication. Walk in the footprints of royals and celebrities, visit one of the world's oldest and most glamorous casinos, explore Monaco's culture and traditions, food, museums, nightlife, events, history and glamour. Ever wanted to live on the edge like James Bond? This is your chance to begin your adventure, although you might need to rent a fast car for this part.
