Typically preceded with an asterisk , or star , key on the touch tone keypad and colloquially referred to as star codes , most are two digits in length although, as more services are developed, those that use 2 or 3 as the first digit are sometimes three digits in length. In North American telephony , VSCs were developed by AT&T as Custom Local Area Signaling Services or CLASS codes or LASS in the 1960s and 70 s. Their use became ubiquitous throughout the 1990s and eventually became a recognized standard.

The Code of Service Discipline CSD is the basis of the Military justice Canada Canadian Forces military justice system . The CSD is designed to assist military commanders in maintaining discipline, efficiency, and morale within the Canadian Forces CF . It is found in Part III of the National Defence Act . The CSD sets out who is subject to the military justice system establishes service offences for which a person can be charged establishes who has the authority to arrest and hold CF members in custody establishes service tribunals and their jurisdiction to conduct trials of persons charged with service offences establishes processes for the review and appeal of findings and sentence after trial Why the CSD exists The need for a separate justice system to enforce disciplinary standards in the military has a history that dates back to the earliest organized military forces. More recently, the Supreme Court of Canada , in the 1992 G n reux case, recognized the continuing need for a separate system of military justice. The Supreme Court of Canada Supreme Court stated that Canada depends on the CF to defend against threats to our security and the military must be able to enforce discipline effectively and efficiently in order to maintain its readiness. Accordingly, breaches of discipline must be dealt with speedily and will often result in more severe punishments than what a civilian might receive for the same conduct. The Supreme Court of Canada Supreme Court acknowledged that military tribunals are designed to meet the disciplinary needs of the CF and that the ordinary courts would generally be inadequate to serve the particular needs of the military. For example, both summary trials and courts martial can be held wherever forces are deployed.

orphan date December 2007 General ServiceCode is a code that was used during the American Civil War . The code uses one flag or two torches. The flags come in three color schemes a red square in the middle of a white background, white on black , or black on white. The flag that is used at any time depends on the visibility. The flags come in three sizes two feet by two feet, four by four, and six by six. The 2x2 flags are used in battle to send messages back to headquarters and to send back commands, sometimes by more than one signaler. The 4x4 flags are used for almost everything else. The 6x6 flags are for sending messages that can t wait until night so they could use the torches. These flags are so heavy that no one really wanted to use them. One torch is put on a pole and waved around and is called the action torch. The other was stuck on a stake and called the foot torch. The purpose of the foot torch is to decipher if the message is meant for you or for the guy on the other side of the sender. The torches run on turpentine. Turpentine is used in the torches because it burns brighter than kerosene. People don t use turpentine in lamps because it is far too volatile to be used in that manner. The code uses three positions. Position one is to the left. Position two is to the right. Position three is forward. The following is the code and shortcuts.

Image Vertical slice.png 160px thumb A vertical slice from the components of a project. A vertical slice , sometimes abbreviated to VS , is a type of Milestone project management milestone , Benchmarking benchmark , or time limit deadline , with emphasis on demonstrating progress across all components of a project . It could be considered a project management buzzword , and may have originated in the games industry . The term vertical slice refers to layers that form the structure of the software code base. It is mostly used in Scrum development Scrum terminology where the work is planned in terms of features or stories . For example as a very basic approach, a software project may consist of three layers or components Data access layer bottom , Business logic layer middle and User interface Layer top . In this very common approach, a vertical slice means a bit of every layer. Again as an example, a new feature request like showing x information on main screen would contain these work bits Work in the UI that will display the information Work in the business layer to transform the information Work in the database layer to store fetch the information. So a vertical slice can be defined as the sum of the work that has to be done in every layer that is involved in getting a specific feature working . A vertical slice doesn t necessarily affect every component in the software. For example, if the solution contains a web service, it would live in the same floor as the UI, and a feature like supporting login logout in webservice that involves only the web service doesn t require a change in the UI, but the business and database access layers.

Vertical exaggeration is given as a number for example 5 means that vertical measurements are 5 times greater than horizontal measurements. A value of 1 indicates that horizontal and vertical scales are identical, and is regarded as having no vertical exaggeration. Vertical exaggerations less than 1 are not common, but indicate a reduction in vertical scale or, equivalently, a horizontal exaggeration .

Vertical handover or vertical handoff refers to a Computer Network network node changing the type of connectivity it uses to access a supporting infrastructure, usually to support node mobility. For example, a suitably equipped laptop might be able to use both a high speed wireless LAN and a Cellular Network cellular technology for Internet access. Wireless LAN connections generally provide higher speeds, while cellular technologies generally provide more ubiquitous coverage. Thus the laptop user might want to use a wireless LAN connection whenever one is available, and to fall over to a cellular connection when the wireless LAN is unavailable. Vertical handovers refer to the automatic fallover from one technology to another in order to maintain communication. This is different from a horizontal handover between different wireless access points that use the same technology in that a vertical handover involves changing the data link layer technology used to access the network. Vertical handoffs between Wireless LAN WLAN and UMTS CDMA2000 have attracted a great deal of attention in all the research areas of the 4G wireless network, due to the benefit of utilizing the higher bandwidth and lower cost of WLAN as well as better mobility support and larger coverage of UMTS.

For the band, see Air Pocket band An updraft or downdraft is the vertical movement of air as a weather related phenomenon. One of two forces causes the air to move. Localized regions of warm or cool air will exhibit vertical movement. A mass of warm air will typically be less dense than the surrounding region, and so will rise until it reaches air that is either warmer or less dense than itself. The converse will occur for a mass of cool air, and is known as Subsidence atmosphere subsidence . This movement of large volumes of air, especially when regions of hot, wet air rise, can create large cloud s, and is the main cause of thunderstorms . Drafts can also be created by low or high pressure regions. A low pressure region will attract air from the surrounding area, which will move towards the center and then rise, creating an updraft. A high pressure region will then attract air from the surrounding area, which will move towards the center and sink, creating a downdraft. Updrafts and downdrafts, along with wind shear in general, are a major contributor to airplane crashes during takeoff and landing in a thunderstorm. Extreme cases, known as downburst s and microburst s can be deadly and difficult to predict or observe. The crash of Delta Air Lines Flight 191 on its final approach before landing at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in 1985 was presumably caused by a microburst, and prompted the Federal Aviation Administration FAA to research and deploy new storm detection radar stations at some of the major airports, notably the ones in the South, Midwest, and Northeast United States where wind shear contributes to air safety .
