Flex temp

Flex temp is a technique used to reduce noise and engine wear in large airliners by performing take-off at less than full power.

For Airbus and Fokker aircraft the technique is known as flex temp or just flex. Other aircraft may use the terms Assumed temperature thrust reduction, Reduced take-off thrust or Factored take-off thrust.

Technique

The runway length required for an aircraft to take off is calculated for each flight. Depending on the aircraft weight, the air temperature and the wind speed, this length may be shorter than the available runway length. The crew can then calculate a lower-power engine setting where take-off will use a larger portion of the runway. Lower power settings reduce noise, engine wear, and maintenance costs.

This technique is based on air temperature, rather than percentage of engine power, because it is easy for the crew to look up or calculate the highest air temperature at which any particular take-off can be performed. That temperature is the highest flex temp that can be used.

Flex (club)

Flex is a nightclub in Vienna. It is located between underground station Schottenring and Augartenbrücke. Many international and Austrian music acts and DJs, such as Pete Doherty, Juliette and the Licks and Arcade Fire, have performed in Flex. There have been hundreds of visits from drum and bass DJs like: Pendulum, High Contrast, DJ Marky, Aphrodite, Patifee, DJ Hype, Logistics, Leopoi, and others. According to the annual rating of German music magazine Spex Flex has been among the best nightclubs in Europe for years. The soundsystem is also widely considered one of the best.

Flex Music

Flex has been around for over a decade and has supported multi-cultural events from all over the globe. Primarily DJ sets and live sets are seen to be particularly common. Flex houses many DJs and in the late 90's was primarily a club to listen to the newly imported music genre, Drum and Bass. In time however, Flex adopted a seven day cycle, which was implemented in the first five years or so. There are several musical themes:

Notes

Environment variable

Environment variables are a set of dynamic named values that can affect the way running processes will behave on a computer.

They are part of the environment in which a process runs. For example, a running process can query the value of the TEMP environment variable to discover a suitable location to store temporary files, or the HOME or USERPROFILE variable to find the directory structure owned by the user running the process.

They were introduced in their modern form in 1979 with Version 7 Unix, so are included in all Unix operating system flavors and variants from that point onward including Linux and OS X. From PC DOS 2.0 in 1982, all succeeding Microsoft operating systems including Microsoft Windows, and OS/2 also have included them as a feature, although with somewhat different syntax, usage and standard variable names.

Details

In all Unix and Unix-like systems, each process has its own separate set of environment variables. By default, when a process is created, it inherits a duplicate environment of its parent process, except for explicit changes made by the parent when it creates the child. At the API level, these changes must be done between running fork and exec. Alternatively, from command shells such as bash, a user can change environment variables for a particular command invocation by indirectly invoking it via env or using the ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE=VALUE <command> notation. All Unix operating system flavors, DOS, and Windows have environment variables; however, they do not all use the same variable names. A running program can access the values of environment variables for configuration purposes.

Bangs (hair)

Bangs, also called a fringe outside North America, is a shaped cutting of the front part of the hair so that it lies over the forehead. Bangs are usually cut fairly straight at or above the eyebrows, but it can also be ragged or ruffled, spiked up with hair gel, mousse or wax, swept to one side or the other, or cut longer to fall over the eyes.

Terminology

The term bangs originally referred to a hair cut bang-off (straight across at the front), although the term is now applied to diverse forms of hair stylings. It is probably related to bang-tail, a term still used for the practice of cutting horses' tails straight across. The term fringe refers to the resemblance of the short row of hair to ornamental fringe trim, such as that often found on shawls.
