psychologist with multiple sclerosis — says he's following the debate in his country with trepidation, but that, ban or not, it won't change his resolve. He has planned every detail of his final hours, which he has decided will come when he can no longer see or speak.

He says he will put on a soundtrack from a favorite movie — he doesn't know which one yet, but it will be one featuring American actor Jeff Bridges — and sit on his living room couch with his girlfriend at his side.

Daniel's last act will be to lift a glass containing a barbiturate he has purchased online, drink the concoction and drift off to sleep.the blade root is slid into the disc slot, the centrifugal load on the blade, which is very high due to the high rotational speed of the rotor, is distributed along portions of the tangs over which the root and disc are in contact. Because of the high centrifugal loading, the stresses in the blade root and disc slot are very high. It is important, therefore, to minimize the stress concentrations formed by the tangs and grooves and maximize the bearing areas over which the contact forces between the blade root and disc slot occur. This is especially important in the latter rows of a low pressure steam turbine due to the large size and weight of the blades in these rows and the presence of stress corrosion
