What is rigging and what is the work for construction?
Rigging comprises the system of ropes, cables and chains, which support to lift or move heavy structures or equipment for erection/removal.In construction and in ship building, heavy structures like trusses, beams, pipes are to be moved or lifted, where cranes or vehicles cannot be used. there rigging / rigger will make it possible.hooking loads is a skill of rigging.OPERATING CONDITIONS FOR CRITICALLOAD CARRYING COMPONENTS INCLUDE: DESIGN LOAD UNUSUAL LOADING SHOCK LOADS REPEATED CYCLE LOADS ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS, TEMPERATUREENGINEERING PRODUCTS FOR LIFTING APPLICATIONS [RIGGING]MUST HAVE ALL OF THE PROPERTIES: STRENGTH DUCTILITY FATIGUE RESISTANCE TOUGHNESS TRACEABILITY
3D Animation: What is character rigging? How does it work?
To add to Sharad Kaplingad's answer.A character model on its own can't be animated. For animation, a static 3d model needs to be bent, twisted, expanded etc.This deformation happens through a variety of deformers.The most common deformer is a skeleton of bones or joints. A complementary skeleton might be added to the mesh, and the motion of the joints in the skeleton drives the vertices in the 3D mesh. But animator might not just simply want to animate a large set of bones.Their life might be made easier if there were smarter higher-level controls.They might want a slider to animate a facial expression. Or they might want a rocker that allowed a neat heel-to-toe roll during walking. They might want inverse kinematic targets for the hands and feet. And they might want the eyeballs to point at a null object.In large complex projects, someone will set up a rig.The word rig means not just the skeleton but the sum total of all of these animation tools. For a complex character (say Dobbie in Harry Potter) the design and execution of the rig itself (not counting any actual animation ) might represent hundred of man-days. This example is a pretty complex rig from a feature film.Troll Hunter VFX - Troll Rig Demo
Is the CE (Construction Electrician) Rating in the Navy Better than the EM Rating (Electricians Mate)?
Simple answer when you ask yourself this... Do you want to be on shore duty, working with construction battalions to include deploying overseas in war zones OR Do you want to be on sea duty, working on everything electrical on a ship, deploying for six months at a time onboard? That is the fundamental difference. As a CE you will work with Battalion construction, rigging new or fixing old electrical systems in buildings, etc whereas as an EM you will be responsible for components of a shipboard electrical plant to include turbine generators and emergency diesel generators. Either way, you will work electricity. Hope that helps
What education do you need to be a demolitions expert?
Instructions How to Become a Demolition Expert 1 Determine what kind of demolition work you are interested in pursuing. Military demolition work may require wartime skills such as underwater demolition, structural demolition or even anti-personnel demolition. This requires exceptional physical stamina as well as extensive training by the appropriate branch of the military. Civilian demolition work may not require the same level of physical conditioning, but demolishing old buildings, bridges and other structures still requires a great deal of experience, usually only gained via on-the-job training. 2 Obtain the appropriate skills. An expert in demolitions has a good understanding of basic construction methods, basic engineering principles, rough carpentry and rigging skills and competency in the use of common hand and power tools. Demolition work frequently involves the use of explosives and heavy equipment, which requires a high degree of proficiency. The ability to stay calm under stressful conditions and to maintain a "safety first" mentality is essential. 3 Seek out technical colleges and industry training opportunities. Learning institutions offer classroom course work in construction, including courses in demolition. Or you can find a mentor. Many experts recommend finding a company that is involved with the kind of demolition you are interested in learning, hiring on as an apprentice, and working your way up. 4 Seek out training by the military. Each branch of the military offers demolition training that is specific to its mission. The Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army Special Forces, Navy Seals and others all require personnel who are trained in the proper use of demolitions techniques and equipment. Training may include the proper handling of explosives, proper shape charges to cut through specific types of structures, heavy equipment operations, hazardous waste disposal, live explosive (bomb) disposal and safety and crowd control. 5 Get hands-on experience. According to demolition expert Stacey Loizeaux, 95 percent of demolition knowledge comes from hands-on experience. Become a keen observer of how different kinds of buildings react to different kinds of demolition techniques.
What is bid rigging (more inside)?
More than likely the city has a policy that contracts between city and private business (probably construction companies) must be competed for in blind bids. There's a series or bidding rounds, and lowest bid (cheapest to the city) wins. In bid rigging the private businesses get together beforehand and make deals to allow one to have the lowest bid. It's a done deal even before the first blind bid. The quid pro quo would probably be some kind of money transfer via subcontracts or just straight payoffs or they're taking turns on blind bids for various other contracts.
What are examples of union jobs??
Truck drivers, Grocery store employees, State employees, Warehouse workers, Forklift drivers, Dock workers, Lumpers, Seamen, ect.
Can you pick a specific job in the Marines?
No, you can't. You have to qualify for any position you would like. The only exception is Infantry. There are test and qualifications exams for various positions. But you can't take them before you become a marine. Marine interested in this field will attend Basic Combat Engineer School, located at Camp Lejune, NC. From there the Marine may continue on in more advanced specialized training, or rotate out immediately on their first assignment in their new specialty. A Marine Engineer Candidate may attend include Welding school, engineer assist, bulk fuel school, and engineer combat and heavy equipment schools. There are a number of billets available inside the Marine Engineer Specialty. Duty ranges from normal Combat Marine billets to Instructor-Inspector billets, Combat Engineer force service group billets, and Engineer billets attached to Marine aircraft wings. Marine Combat engineers repair, alter, maintain, alter and adjust various structures and buildings. They set up, brace, and move heavy equipment and objects. They use equipment and rigging devices to do this type of work. Service members who are assigned to this MOS are taught construction and carpentry skills, as well as skills in demolition projects and destruction of objects. Skills in specialized demolitions in land mines and for urban land breaching is also taught. Combat Engineer physical demands are heavy, you need to be in good physical condition to perform as a Combat engineer. You should have normal color vision, and normal hearing. As a combat engineer you will operate or serve as a crewmember on a variety of different Marine military vehicles. You will perform basic and advanced Combat Construction. You will be trained to recognize and disarm various explosives and booby traps, Training will assist you to know how to locate and eliminate mines by visual or mechanical means. You will gain in leadership ability as you gain in rank, and gradually be more responsible for supervision of soldiers who are more junior than you in rank. TMI? Basically you have got allot of training. But when you leave the marine's for civilian life you are qualified for labor jobs easy. www.thecontemplation.com
