    TRANS ALASKA PIPELINE
    July 28, 1977 - USA, Alaska

    The 799-mile trans-Alaska pipeline began full operation as the first oil from Prudhoe Bay arrived at Valdez at 11:02 p.m. It had started its travel along the line at Prudhoe Bay on 20 Jun 1977. By 1 Aug 1977, the first North Slope oil left the Port of Valdez aboard the ARCO Juneau. The pipeline is insulated and elevated. In areas where the frozen-soil temperatures are near the thaw point, elaborate supports are used to ensure heat from the oil does not transfer through them to the soil. The supports contain heat pipes, and have finned radiators on top. With the President's signature on the enabling legislation (16 Nov 1973), construction shortly began of the road, pump stations and terminal. Pipes were laid in about two years from Mar 1975. After testing, the pipeline began service transporting oil.

  • A Change is Gonna Come
    by Meredith Grey

    "...Change; we don't like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying. But here's the truth: Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything...."

    by Thomas Jefferson

    "...Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits...."

ARTICLE INFORMATION :

The article concentrated upon technological advances that favourably influenced the efficacy of office work, and features a PDF splitting software package as one of the solutions to document handling.

ARTICLE CONTENT :

We live in the time of fast development. Because of the recent technical advances in the IT sphere, office work is no longer the same as it used to be several years ago, with piles of paper documents here and there around the office. Documents, undeniably, adversely impacted on the efficacy of a firm and it took office staff a good deal of time and effort to manage them. At present the days of paper-cluttered offices are gone. There are no more 'in' and 'out' boxes piled up with paper files. Everything is now computerised and kept in the form of a database.

No wonder that advanced software programmes are introduced daily to optimise the office work. These up-to-date programmes do not only do work much quicker, but also much easier. Most files are stored in the PDF format, since it has got plenty of benefits over others. PDF files are smaller and can be protected with encryption and password security tools. The PDF application is a compatible format. As a consequence, a user can share and get data from colleagues efficiently.

PDF files can range from a single-page file to more composite files, such as brochures, information sheets, white papers and technical instructions, some containing hundreds of pages, which makes them hard to handle. Now and then, you may wish to print or e-mail a couple of pages from a PDF document or to extract several pages into a new PDF papers leaving the master file intact. A solution is to use a PDF splitter software package. This kind of software is user-friendly. It allows you to select your master (or input) PDF document and apply a splitting pattern to obtain the output document(s).

Some advanced software packages include a customised splitting option, similar to Word printing pattern. Here is an example: 1,2,3; 1-5,3; 4-5. This will result in three output files. The first one will include pages number 1, 2 and 3. The second PDF file will have pages one to five and page three. The third one will include only pages four and five. It takes a few mouse clicks to extract pages from PDF documents and does not need expertise. A step-by-step direction is provided by manufacturers.
