title: Eugene Neely

text:
Eugene Gentry "Guy" Neely (February 9, 1896 – December 2, 1949) was an American football player.  Despite having only one arm, he played college football at the guard position for Dartmouth College and was a consensus first-team selection to the 1917 College Football All-America Team.

Early years
Neely was born in 1896 in Comanche, Texas, and raised in Dallas, Texas.  His parents were Richard V. Neely and Opelia Gentry.  He lost his right arm in a hunting accident in approximately 1911. His arm was cut off above the elbow.

Dartmouth
Neely enrolled in Dartmouth College in 1915.  Neely played football for Dartmouth's freshman team in 1915. It was reported at the time that he was probably "the only one-armed football player in the country."

Neely then played for the Dartmouth Big Green football varsity team during the 1916 and 1917 football seasons. By October 1916, he had won a reputation as "the best man" in Dartmouth's line.  He reportedly used the stub of his severed right arm "with telling effect in blocking and straight arming." Despite his handicap, he was also able to intercept and return a forward pass, later described by Life magazine as a "spectacular" play, during a game against West Virginia.  After the 1917 season, he was selected as a consensus first-team guard on the 1917 College Football All-America Team.

Later years
After leaving Dartmouth, Neely returned to Texas and coached football at the Terrill School (now known as St. Mark's School of Texas).  He was married shortly after returning to Texas, and he and his wife Nell had two children, Stanley (born ) and Adele (born 1920).  In 1920, he was living in Comanche, Texas, working as an oil dealer.  In 1930, he was living in Dallas and working as a securities broker.  In 1940, he was living in Dallas and working as a loan agent for life insurance.  In 1942, he was employed by the Federal Housing Administration in Dallas.

Neely died in Dallas on December 2, 1949, at the age of 53.

The 1995–96 Drexel Dragons men's basketball team represented Drexel University during the 1995–96 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Dragons, led by 5th year head coach Bill Herrion, played their home games at the Daskalakis Athletic Center and were members of the North Atlantic Conference (which has since changed name).

In the 1995–96 season, the Dragons won a school record 27 games, won the North Atlantic Conference men's basketball tournament for the third season in a row, qualified for the NCAA tournament for the fourth time in school history, and also won the school's first ever NCAA Tournament game in the first round of the 1996 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament.

Drexel accomplished a 21 game home winning streak, dating back to the 1993–94 season, ending in a loss against Boston University on January 26.

After reaching the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history, the Dragons lost to Syracuse by a score of 58–69.  Syracuse would go on to finish runner–up in the tournament, losing to Kentucky in the National Championship.

In the 1995–96 season, Malik Rose broke Drexel's individual single season record for rebounds with 409 in 31 games.

title: Defence Public Affairs Learning Centre

text:
The Defence Public Affairs Learning Centre (DPALC) is a Canadian military training institution that provides Department of National Defence and Canadian Armed Forces personnel with specialized military public affairs and communications training. It is part of the Assistant Deputy Minister (Public Affairs) organization and executes its mandate under the authority of the Canadian Defence Academy.

Mission

The mission of the DPALC is to give defence personnel, especially Canadian Armed Forces members, the training and expertise they need to connect effectively with Canadians, and to develop a cadre of professional Public Affairs Officers in the Canadian Armed Forces.

History

Prior to the establishment of the DPALC, Canadian Armed Forces Public Affairs Officers (a distinct Canadian military tri-service occupation) were trained at the United States Department of Defense's Defense Information School (DINFOS) at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland and then received on-the-job training.

In 1992, due to a requirement for more Canada-specific training, the training was repatriated. For several years, Public Affairs Officers were trained through an eight-week joint venture between the Canadian Armed Forces and Ryerson Polytechnic University in Toronto. In the mid-1990s, the Canadian Armed Forces again began sending members to DINFOS, but this time offered a large portion of the training in Canada. In 2004, a business case was done to establish a Canadian military public affairs training centre.

The DPALC officially opened in May 2006. Upon its establishment, the Centre ran two courses for Canadian Armed Forces members: a four-month Basic Public Affairs Officers Course and the two-week Defence Public Affairs Course (now called the Unit Public Affairs Representative Course). The Defence Public Affairs Course, which was originally established in 1983, is one of the Canadian Armed Forces’ longest running courses.

Training

The DPALC delivers various structured, standardized and bilingual (French and English) training programs both in-house and through distance learning and varying in length from one day to one year. The Centre trains Regular and Reserve Force Public Affairs Officers, Unit Public Affairs Representatives, military and civilian executive-level spokespeople, social media practitioners, military imagery technicians and other external and international partners.

The DPALC's main courses are:
 Basic Public Affairs Officer Course
 Reserve Basic Public Affairs Officer Course
 Public Affairs Non-Commissioned Members Course
 Unit Public Affairs Representative Course
 Social Media Primer
 Designated Spokesperson Training

The DPALC also provides public affairs training to allied nations through the Directorate - Military Training & Cooperation and supports the Canadian Forces College in Toronto, the National Security Program and the Joint Command and Staff Program.

Training programs cover a wide range of topics, including public affairs planning, communications products and tools, journalism and media studies, media relations, crisis communications, public affairs in an operational setting, community relations, issues management, standard operating procedures, internal communications, video production, photojournalism, new media and social media, environmental analysis, public affairs policy, resource management, strategic communications and event planning.

Facilities & Staff

The Centre is currently located in Gatineau, Quebec in the historic National Printing Bureau building. Facilities include three large classrooms, several breakout rooms, two television studios, two radio studios, editing suites, a control room, a small library, two kitchens and offices. The Centre is headed by a lieutenant-colonel or commander who commands a staff of about 25 military and civilian personnel.

title: Nancy Drew: Labyrinth of Lies

text:
Labyrinth of Lies is the 31st installment in the Nancy Drew point-and-click adventure game series by Her Interactive.  The game is available for play on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X platforms. It has an ESRB rating of E10+ for moments of mild violence and peril. Players take on the first-person view of fictional amateur sleuth Nancy Drew and must solve the mystery through interrogation of suspects, solving puzzles, and discovering clues. There are two levels of gameplay, Amateur and Master sleuth modes, each offering a different difficulty level of puzzles and hints, however neither of these changes affect the actual plot of the game.  This game is loosely based upon the book The Greek Symbol Mystery.

Plot
Melina Rosi, the curator of the Phidias Cultural Center in Greece, hires Nancy Drew to assist with the museum's most anticipated event of the year. Persephone in Winter, a play about the myth of Persephone, is being performed in the amphitheater to drum up publicity for the new Life in Ancient Greece exhibit. However, artifacts from the exhibit are mysteriously disappearing. Are these mishaps connected to the amphitheater's upcoming performance, or is an unseen villain pulling strings behind the scenes?

Development

Characters
Nancy Drew (Lani Minella) - Nancy is an 18-year-old amateur detective from the fictional town of River Heights in the United States. She is the only playable character in the game, which means the player must solve the mystery from her perspective.
Xenia Doukas (Julia Stockton) - Playing the lead role in the performance of Persephone in Winter, Xenia is a talented actress who is also the show's director. She keeps busy with her work on the play, but is her sweet personality and demanding workload blinding Xenia from what's truly going on behind the scenes? Or is her obsession with being a great actress masking her true intentions?
Niobe Papadaki (Katherine Grant-Suttie) - Niobe plays the role of Demeter, Persephone's mother, but she is also the show's prop and stage artist. She has a strong interest in the museum's artifacts and is referencing the pieces for onstage props and design. Terrified of being onstage, Niobe tends to keep to herself and focuses on her work. But has Niobe been observing more than just artwork? Could she possibly shed some light on her other observations at the museum?
Thanos Ganas (Beau Prichard) - Hades, Greek god of the underworld, is large and intimidating, much like the actor who portrays him. Thanos lingers under the set, keeping an eye on all the stage hydraulics and making sure that the sets are working properly. He doesn't like anyone snooping under the stage and is very protective of the set. Is there more to reveal in the Underworld than Thanos is letting on?
Grigor Karakinos (Jeff Pierce) - Cast as Hermes the Messenger, Grigor is also the stage manager and technician for the play. He works backstage with the lights, lifts, and other various stage assets. Charming and talkative, Grigor seems to know everyone and everything that's going on. He may be helpful for picking up interesting information, but is he holding anything back?
Melina Rosi (Billie Wildrick) - The curator of the museum, Melina Rosi, has called you in to assist with the exhibit in time for the grand opening and upcoming play. Her museum staff are mysteriously abandoning their roles. However, Melina is undeterred and will do whatever it takes to hunt down the truth. No one is closer to the artifacts than Melina, but could she be hiding her true involvement in the missing exhibit pieces?
Frank Hardy (Jonah Von Spreekin) & Joe Hardy (Rob Jones) - Returning as phone contacts, the Hardy Boys are available to help you with your case. They can provide vital information regarding Greek myths and can shed additional light on the actors and the museum.

Release
The game was released on October 14, 2014, though pre-orders began on September 9, 2014.

title: Kings Polytechnic

text:
Kings Polytechnic is a private polytechnic in Ubiaja, Nigeria.

History
It is an offspring of the new Era Institute of Technology, Ubiaja, which was established in 2005. The desire for the change from an institute to a polytechnic was a result of the foresight of the proprietor, Chief Sir Francis Anegbode Ijewere, a retired chief of banking operations of the Central Bank of Nigeria. He saw in a polytechnic greater opportunity in the areas of technology and skills acquisition than an institute, especially in the sidelined zone, like Esan South East local government area of Edo State, in opportunities for tertiary education.

Pursuant to this change, he followed the due process of establishing a private polytechnic, by applying to the National Board for Technical Education, the statutory body set up by the Federal Government to manage and control all matters relating to polytechnic education in Nigeria. In response to the application, the NBTE gave him a printed document on "Guidelines and Procedure for the Establishment of Private Polytechnics, Monotechnics and Similar Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria".

Following the guidelines, the proprietor put in place a temporary site. He obtained all the needed resources (structures, equipment, and staffs both academic and non-academic), and acquired over 50 hectares of land for the permanent site. He thereafter invited the NBTE for advisory/approval invitation, which took place in April 2007.

The polytechnic was given approval by the Hon. Minister of Education, to commence business with effect from January 29, 2010.

Courses
The institution offers the following courses;

 Accountancy
Architectural Technology
Building Technology
 Business Administration and Management
 Agricultural Engineering/Technology
 Electrical/Electronics Engineering
Estate Management
 Mass Communication
Quantity Surveying
 Science Laboratory Technology

According to the rector, the institution has for years had problems with the destruction of agricultural facilities by herders.

In 2015 and 2016 staff at Federal Polytechnic went on strike over a reclassification that reduced their salaries and accusations of corruption. On 8 October 2017 the institution was closed indefinitely after either one or two students were reported to have died, possibly of malaria, and students rioted, destroyed property, and burned down the health centre.  The institution is currently opened and academic activities are ongoing smoothly.

title: Gertrude Quastler

text:
Gertrude Quastler (February 10, 1909 – July 8, 1963) was an Austrian-born American artist, best known for her prints. Her art is noted for its wit and humor.

Life
Born in Vienna, Gertrude trained as a milliner. She contracted tuberculosis, and was treated by doctor Henry Quastler, who married her in 1933. The couple moved to Albania shortly after marrying, where Henry was employed to train radiologists. When King Zog was overthrown, the Quastlers moved to America, where Henry soon became established as a major scientist. In America, Gertrude studied art, first at Columbia University and then at the University of Illinois. Henry also painted as an amateur. According to his sister Johanna, the couple sometimes exhibited together.

Quastler initially worked in painting, but later concentrated on printmaking, especially woodcuts, for which she became best known. She exhibited in New York and was represented by Weyhe Gallery. Her 1951 print Counterpoint was acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1952 she and her husband began a lifelong friendship with the artist Richard Diebenkorn, who also lived in Urbana, Illinois.

In 1958 Gertrude's health deteriorated dramatically. The couple moved to New York, where she continued to work in paint and drawing, but her print-making activity dropped off. She began making sculptures in 1959.

By the early 1960s Quastler's health required her to be hospitalized. She died at home in 1963. A few hours later, her husband took an overdose of pills, laid down beside her and held her hand until he died. Richard Diebenkorn later said, “Neither my wife nor I can think of a couple we encountered more indivisible.”

Art
Quastler's art is known for its quirky humor, often with more sinister surreal elements mixed in. As Daniel Baumann write of a collection of personal drawings, "Little cartoons of snails have bared teeth, old men fall over drunk, scenes of brutal violence make appearances, nightmares and bad dreams seem to be documented, executions, suicides, and, to my mind most disturbing of all, scenes of cutting into the flesh attest to disorder that call out for analysis."

A large collection of her prints is held at the University of Pittsburgh's Frick Fine Arts Building.

title: Jag och min far

text:
"Jag och min far" is a song written and recorded by Olle Ljungström, and released as a single in 1997 as well as on his 1998 studio album Det stora kalaset. A music video was also directed.

Lyrically, it deals with memories from a son and his father, who has died, exchanging knowledge within different topics. The song is not autobiographical in a literal sense; Ljungström's father was alive at the time, although the two had been out of touch for several years.

In 2008, it was recorded by Love Olzon on the tribute album Andra sjunger Olle Ljungström and by Pernilla Andersson on the album Gör dig till hund.

In 2012, Magnus Uggla performed the song in the third season of Så mycket bättre. His recording became a Svensktoppen hit, subsequently charting from 23 December 2012 until 17 January 2016, spending a total of 161 weeks on the chart. It also peaked at number two on the Swedish Singles Chart.

title: Hundeprutterutchebane

text:
Hundeprutterutchebane (Danish for "Dog-Fart Roller Coaster") is a steel family roller coaster at BonBon-Land in southern Zealand. The rollercoaster is known for its dog-flatulence-related theme.

History and theme
Hundeprutterutchebane was the first coaster to open at BonBon-Land in 1993. BonBon-Land was opened in 1992 by the confectionery company BonBon that makes sweets based on toilet humour. Hundeprutter ("Dog Farts") was one of the most popular flavors and consequently became the theme for the first coaster at the park.Built by Zierer, the coaster layout is a relatively simple family coaster, and it is the park's smallest roller coaster. The coaster trains are designed in the shape of a dachshund named "Henry", Riders go past a statue of Henry defecating, through a kennel, and past bones and piles of feces. There are also speakers throughout the ride which make farting sounds, as well as barks.

Reviews and press attention
Hundeprutterutchebane's unusual name and theme have attracted considerable attention. The coaster has been listed among the Travel Channel's "15 Wacky Rollercoasters" and is included in the mental_floss article "8 Theme Park Rides I Wouldn't Wait in Line For". The coaster has also been described by a number of other sources, including USA Today, Cracked, and The Chive.

Robb Alvey with the Travel Channel described Hundeprutterutchebane as having the most pure wackiness of any roller coaster, and Willy Volk with Gadling said that the coaster "gives new meaning to the phrase 'the wind in my face.'"

title: Träkumla Church

text:
Träkumla Church () is a medieval church on the Swedish island of Gotland, in the Baltic Sea. The church retains some murals and furnishings from the Middle Ages. It belongs to the Diocese of Visby.

History and architecture
The presently visible, stone church was preceded by a wooden church on the same spot. The oldest part of the now visible church at Träkumla is the rectangular choir, which was built at the middle of the 13th century. The nave was added slightly later. The church was intended to have a tower; thick walls at the western end of the nave indicate that preparations were made for the erection of a tower, but it was never executed. The presently visible wooden spire dates instead from 1917. An inscription above the main portal, now lost, stated that the church was inaugurated on 1 September 1287. The church was abandoned in 1868 but restored in 1917. In 1951, it underwent another renovation.

Inside, the church is decorated with murals made by the Master of the Passion of Christ in mid-15th century. They depict scenes from the legend about Saint Olaf. The church houses a number of medieval items. The baptismal font is from the 12th century and probably belonged to the first, wooden church. There is also a triumphal cross, a processional cross and a Madonna, all from the 15th century, as well as a few stained glass window panes dating from the 13th century. The wooden door is furthermore medieval. The altarpiece was assembled in the 17th century and is made of pieces from several earlier, medieval altarpieces.

The pulpit dates from the 17th century.

Reception
The film drew mostly mixed reviews. On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 63% based on 35 reviews, and an average rating of 6.1/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "I Am Michael takes a determinedly balanced approach to its complex subject, and although the results don't always add up, they're anchored by strong work from James Franco." On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 56 out of 100, based on 19 critics, indicating "mixed or average".

Peter Debruge of Variety wrote, "An unusually nuanced James Franco carries this complex portrait of a man who came out and fought to encourage other LGBT youth before converting to conservative Christianity," but concluded that the film was too dry and kept the title character too distant and veiled in its attempt to be impartial.

Boyd van Hoeij wrote in The Hollywood Reporter, "Thankfully, the screenplay doesn't portray the story in simple terms of good or evil, but that doesn't mean that there's quite enough nuance or insight to constantly elevate the material above the level of a well-made-but-TV-ready biopic." Indiewire's Eric Kohn gave the film a B+ grade.

title: Henrietta Russell, Duchess of Bedford

text:
Henrietta Russell, Dowager Duchess of Bedford (born Henrietta Joan Tiarks; 5 March 1940) is a landowner and horse breeder, and the widow of Robin Russell, 14th Duke of Bedford, with whom she lived at Woburn Abbey. Until her husband succeeded to the Dukedom in 2002, she was better known as the Marchioness of Tavistock.

Family background
Henrietta Joan Tiarks was born in London, on 5 March 1940, daughter of Henry Frederick Tiarks III (Woodheath, Chislehurst, London, 8 September 1900 – Marbella, 2 July 1995), a wealthy merchant banker with Schroders, and wife (3 October 1936) Ina Florence Marshman Bell (Carlisle, Cumbria, 5 November 1903 – Marbella, 10 April 1989), an actress known as Joan Barry. Her parents married on 3 October 1936; both having been married previously, he on 27 April 1930, div. 1936, to Lady Millicent Olivia Mary Taylour, daughter of the 4th Marquess of Headfort (? - 24 December 1975) and she in Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan, Wales, in October / December 1919 to Henry Hampson.

She is a granddaughter of Frank Cyril Tiarks and a relative of Mark Phillips.

Marriage and issue
She married the then Marquess of Tavistock, Robin Russell, on 20 June 1961 at St Clement Danes in London, thereby becoming the Marchioness of Tavistock. He succeeded his father, becoming the 14th Duke of Bedford, on 25 October 2002, at which point Henrietta became Duchess of Bedford. They had three sons:
 Andrew Ian Henry Russell, 15th Duke of Bedford (b. 30 March 1962)
 Lord Robin Loel Hastings Russell (b. 12 August 1963)
 Lord James Edward Herbrand Russell (b. 11 February 1975)

Her husband died on 13 June 2003 aged 63 as the result of a stroke. They had already handed over control of Woburn Abbey to their eldest son Andrew, then Lord Howland, in 2001.

Since her husband's death, Henrietta, Duchess of Bedford has lived primarily in New Zealand, where she raises horses and has homes in Matamata, Central Otago, and Auckland.

Media appearances
As Henrietta Tiarks, she made four appearances on the BBC television record review series Juke Box Jury in 1960. As Marchioness of Tavistock, she made one more appearance on Juke Box Jury in 1964, and other television appearances included Call My Bluff and Crufts.

The Duke and Duchess appeared in three series of the BBC Two reality television programme Country House, screened from 1999 to 2002 detailing daily life at Woburn Abbey, the Bedfords' ancestral home in Bedfordshire, England.

Her autobiography, Chance to Live, was published in 1991, and she appeared as a castaway on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 3 May 1992.

The 11th Duke of Bedford gifted Himalayan tahr to the New Zealand government in 1903 and 1909. Himalayan tahr are near-threatened in their native India and Nepal, but are so numerous in New Zealand's Southern Alps that they are hunted recreationally. A statue of a Himalayan tahr was unveiled in May 2014 at Lake Pukaki and dedicated by the Dowager Duchess of Bedford.

title: Will He Round the Point?

text:
Will He Round the Point? () is an 1880 oil-on-canvas painting by Michael Ancher, a Danish painter associated with the Skagen Painters. The painting is particularly notable as Ancher sold it to Christian IX of Denmark, bringing Skagen and its artistic community to wider attention.

Background

The Skagen Painters were a close-knit group of mainly Danish artists who gathered each summer from the late 1870s in the fishing village of Skagen in the far north of Jutland, painting the local fishermen and their own gatherings and celebrations. Michael Ancher, who arrived in Skagen in 1874, immediately became attached to the village and its heroic fishermen. In 1880, he married Anna Brøndum, the daughter of the innkeeper, and settled there.

Painting description

Ancher's interest in Will He Round the Point? can be seen in a sketch he included in a letter to his fiancée Anna in July 1879. It was followed by further sketches, including oils of the group and the individual fishermen. He completed his large version (63.5 x 79.5 cm) in 1879 and submitted it to the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition in 1880. The painting was responsible for Ancher's rise to fame after three notable buyers all expressed an interest in purchasing it; the Copenhagen Art Association (Kunstforeningen i København) withdrew its initial offer when Statens Museum for Kunst (the National Gallery of Denmark) expressed an interest, but it too was obliged to stand aside when King Christian IX decided he wished to add the painting to his private collection. The king was not particularly interested in art but was no doubt influenced by his wife Louise who had studied drawing as a child and was later instructed by Danish painters including Wilhelm Marstrand. On royal acquisition, the painting was hung in the private dining room at Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen. Instead of a medal, Ancher received a grant which provided him with sufficient means to marry Anna. The wedding was celebrated in Skagen on 18 August 1880.

The title was probably inspired by Holger Drachmann's short story Vil han naa om pynten? (Will he get round the point?) written in 1875, but from earlier sketches it is known that Ancher depicted the fishermen on Skagen's South Beach contemplating the rough sea, and facing south, where there is no point.
Like most observers, in her Northern Light, Lise Svanholm assumes the fishermen are shown looking north towards Grenen, the tip of the Skagen Odde peninsula where ships were frequently stranded. As in many of Ancher's pictures of fishermen, the work includes figures pointing or indicating alarm, urging the observer to imagine what is attracting their attention. The painting is just one of Ancher's many large paintings of Skagen's fishermen, the last being The Drowned Man painted in 1896 which pays tribute to the heroic Lars Kruse who drowned in 1894.
The original painting is still in the royal collection. There are three known versions, one of which is in Skagens Museum.

Taemin said, "It was added right before performing on a music program as effect sounds for performance. It's not included because it may damage the musical completion of the song." Another listener asked, "'Danger' has a Michael Jackson feel. Did you have it in mind while working on the song?". To this, Taemin replied, "The song was composed abroad and bought. It wasn't like our goal or role model but just happened so in the process. The company thought it would suit me well, and it's not a style I dislike."

The song's choreography was created by Ian Eastwood. Shinee member Jonghyun also added that he heard from the managers that after seeing Taemin dance, "I heard he found it amazing for you to copy him so well."  Eastwood says of the song is "...like Michael Jackson" and pays homage to Jackson's unique dance moves and that Taemin seems to understand what Jackson's performance means.

Reception
Ace reached number one on the weekly and monthly Gaon Album Chart, and number two on Billboards World Albums Chart.  "Danger" reached number five on the weekly Gaon Digital Chart.  At South Korea's annual music awards, Ace won the Album Bonsang at the 29th Golden Disc Awards, and received further nominations at the Gaon Chart K-Pop Awards and Seoul Music Awards.

Korean music publication Weiv described the track "Danger" as "[...] a song that showcases the bright sense of Thomas Troelsen good at using multiple tracks, stands out. Most of all, it is a rare song among recent SM songs which doesn't tire you after many replays." In a review for the publication, Park Jun-woo said that the EP showed that Taemin had become an adult, contrasting with his image as the youngest Shinee member. He observed that it was unusual for a member of an SM group to release a solo album. IZE said "the young mysterious thief character with light moves but serious business came to life with Taemin's performance." IZM reviewer Jeong Yu-na noted the influence of Michael Jackson and felt that the EP displayed Taemin's growth as a vocalist. She particularly highlighted "Danger", which she thought created a synergistic effect when combined with the choreography, and "Pretty Boy", which she described as a "hidden weapon". She explained that collaborating with Kai allowed them both to overcome their weaknesses.

title: Nanoracks CubeSat Deployer

text:
The Nanoracks CubeSat Deployer (NRCSD) is a device to deploy CubeSats into orbit from the International Space Station (ISS).

In 2014, two CubeSat deployers were on board the International Space Station (ISS): the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (J-SSOD) and the Nanoracks CubeSat Deployer (NRCSD). The J-SSOD is the first of its kind to deploy small satellites from the International Space Station (ISS). The NRCSD is the first commercially operated small satellite deployer from the ISS, maximizing full capabilities of each airlock cycle of deployments.

CubeSats belong to a class of research spacecraft called nanosatellites. The basic cube-shaped satellites measure  on each side, weigh less than , and have a volume of about , although there are CubeSats which are built and deployed with sizes of multiples of 10 cm in length.

, one method of getting CubeSats to orbit is to transport them aboard a larger spacecraft as part of a cargo load to a larger space station. When this is done, deploying the CubeSats into orbit as a separate artificial satellite requires a special apparatus, such as the Nanoracks CubeSat Deployer. The NRCSD is put into position to be grabbed by one of the ISS's robotic arms, which then places the CubeSat deployer into the correct position externally mounted to the ISS to be able to release the miniature satellites into proper orbit.

Background
The International Space Station was designed to be used as both a microgravity laboratory, as well as a launch pad for low Earth orbit services. The Japanese Space Agency's (JAXA) Kibō ISS module includes a small satellite-deployment system called the J-SSOD.

Nanoracks, via its Space Act Agreement with NASA, deployed a CubeSat using the J-SSOD. Seeing the emerging market demand for CubeSats, Nanoracks self-funded its own ISS deployer, with the permission of both NASA and JAXA. Nanoracks evolved away from the J-SSOD due to the small number of satellites that could be deployed in one airlock cycle and their desire to maximize the capacity of each airlock cycle. The J-SSOD used a full airlock cycle to only launch 6U. The Nanoracks CubeSat Deployer uses two airlock cycles, each holding 8 deployers. Each deployer is capable of holding 6U, allowing a total of 48U per airlock cycle.

Deploying CubeSats from ISS has a number of benefits. Launching the vehicles aboard the logistics carrier of ISS visiting vehicle reduces the vibration and loads they have to encounter during launch. In addition, they can be packed in protective materials so that the probability of CubeSat damage during launch is reduced significantly. In addition, for earth observation satellites, such as those of Planet Labs, the lower orbit of the ISS orbit, at roughly 400 km, is an advantage. In addition, the lower orbit allows a natural decay of the satellites, thus reducing the build-up of orbital debris.

History

JEM Small Satellite Orbital Deployer
The Japanese Experiment Module Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (J-SSOD) is the first of its kind to deploy small satellites from the International Space Station. The facility provides a unique satellite install case to the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) Remote Manipulator System (RMS) for deploying small, CubeSat, satellites from the ISS. The J-SSOD holds up to 3 small one-unit (1U, 10 x 10 x 10 cm) small CubeSats per satellite install case, 6 in total, though other sizes up to 55 x 55 x 35 cm may also be used. Each pre-packed satellite install case is loaded by crewmembers onto the Multi-Purpose Experiment Platform (MPEP) within the JEM habitable volume. The MPEP platform is then attached to the JEM Slide Table inside the JEM airlock for transfer to the JEMRMS and space environment. The JEMRMS grapples and maneuvers the MPEP and J-SSOD to a predefined deployment orientation and then jettisons the small CubeSat satellites.

The MPEP is a platform that acts as an interface between operations inside and outside the ISS, and the J-SSOD mechanism is installed on this platform. On 21 July 2012, JAXA launched the Kounotori 3 (HTV-3) cargo spacecraft to the ISS on Expedition 33. The J-SSOD was a payload on this flight along with five CubeSats that were planned to be deployed by the J-SSOD mounted on the JEMRMS (JEM- Remote Manipulator System), a robotic arm, later in 2012. The five CubeSats were deployed successfully on 4 October 2012 by the JAXA astronaut Akihiko Hoshide using the newly installed J-SSOD. This represented the first deployment service of J-SSOD.

Nanoracks CubeSat Deployer development
In October 2013, Nanoracks became the first company to coordinate the deployment of small satellites (CubeSats/nanosatellites) from the ISS via the airlock in the Japanese Kibō module. This deployment was done by Nanoracks using J-SSOD. Nanoracks' first customer was FPT Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Vietnam. Their F-1 CubeSat was developed by young engineers and students at FSpace laboratory at FPT Vietnam National University, Hanoi. The mission of F-1 was to "survive" the space environment for one month, measuring temperature and magnetic data while taking low-resolution photos of Earth.

In 2013, Nanoracks sought permission from NASA to develop their own hardware and CubeSat/SmallSat deployer to use over the JEM-Small Satellite Deployer. Nanoracks brought leadership to the American small satellite industry by building a larger deployer capable of deploying 48U of satellites. Nanoracks designed, manufactured, and tested the deployer for NASA and JAXA approval to reach the International Space Station.

The Nanoracks CubeSat Deployer was launched on 9 January 2014, on the Orbital Sciences Cygnus CRS Orb-1 mission along with 33 small satellites.

Manufacturing the NRCSD
Quad-M, Inc. developed the CubeSat Deployer to be compliant with the Cal Poly standard. It was redesigned and manufactured to Nanoracks' specification for use on the International Space Station. Quad-M performed an initial design analysis to ensure a compliant design. The structural analysis included a modal analysis to evaluate vibration response, and the thermal analysis included calculations to evaluate different door coating options and an initial transient thermal analysis to estimate. In addition, Quad-M performed development tests for: the door release, the CSD/CubeSat Deployment test, random vibration test, and temperature cycling.

Mission profile

Integrating the CubeSats
CubeSat integration begins with unpacking the CSD from the shipping container and then removing the Base Plate Assembly from the rear of the CSD. Next, the CubeSat is inserted from the rear and is slid up snug against the doors. Additional CubeSats are then inserted from the rear in the same progress. The Base Plate Assembly is then reinstalled. Four jack screws are then adjusted with the Pusher Plate and locked. The Containment Bolt is then removed, and the deployer is packed for shipment.

title: Russell Hill, Croydon

text:
Russell Hill is an area in the London Borough of Croydon, located to the north-west of Purley.

It is named after the former prime minister John Russell, 1st Earl Russell, who was President of the Warehousemen, Clerks and Drapers School which was built here in 1866. Prior to this the locality was known as Beggar's Thorn or Beggar's Bush, since at least the 10th century and survived until the early 20th century. The area is now home to Margaret Roper Catholic Primary School and Thomas More Catholic School.

School
The school was designed by the Birmingham architect John George Bland in a Venetian gothic style of red brick and is a grade 2 listed building. The foundation stone was laid by the Prince of Wales (future King Edward VII) on 11th July 1863, who subsequently opened it on 18th June 1866. The event was attended by the school's president Prime Minister, Earl Russell, the mayor of London and the Bishop of Winchester, among others. The grounds are said to have been laid out by Sir Joseph Paxton. The boarding school was built on behalf of Warehousemen and Clerks for the education of orphans and necessitous children, which had outgrown Hatcham Grove House at New Cross. Perhaps unusual for the time, it included both boys and girls, although they were segregated. The Warehousemen and Clerks built a similar school at Cheadle Hume. In 1883 the Worshipful Company of Drapers, a London Livery company sought to establish an orphanage, which led to the  school being renamed as the Warehousemen, Clerks and Drapers' school.

After the first World War, the girls moved to a new site gifted by Charles Goschen known as Ballards, which became known as Russell School and Royal Russell School in 1853. Perhaps fittingly the foundation stone for the chapel was laid in 1924 by the Prince of Wales, the grandson of Edward VII. The boys moved to Ballards in 1961, and the school on Russell Hill was sold to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Southwark in 1962, which established Thomas More and Margaret Roper catholic schools on the site.

Reservoir
On the northeast outskirts, at the south end of the Purley Way playing fields is Russell Hill reservoir. It was opened on 11th July 1923 by Croydon's mayor, Alderman T W Wood Roberts. At that time Croydon Corporation was responsible for supplying the borough's sanitation. Croydon's population growth and finite water sources meant there was a risk that peak demand could not be met, particularly during droughts. The corporation's engineer, George F Carter, had proposed a new reservoir at Russell Hill as early as 1911, which was estimated to cost £91,000, three times the cost of the newly opened Waddon pumping station. The high cost caused delay while an independent report was commissioned by the consulting engineer Vaux Graham, an enquiry by the government's Local Government Board in 1913 and World War 1 fought; the final cost was £900,000. Despite holding 10M gallons, over 10 times the capacity of the Park Hill reservoir it replaced, this represented just two days supply. The reservoir supplied premises lower than the reservoir (Croydon's low-level district) with water from Waddon and Surrey Street pumping stations.

The 454’(138.4m) by 200’(61m) rectangular reservoir was mainly constructed out of concrete, with the reinforced concrete roof supported on 366 pillars, buried under 18”(0.5m) of soil. The depth of water in the reservoir was up to 18’(5.6m) deep.

In 1939 the Metropolitan water board became responsible for Croydon's sanitation under a new corporation bill. This became Thames Water Authority on 1st April 1974 and Thames Water following the 1989 privatisation, who now own the c.100 year old reservoir.

title: Low Abbotside

text:
Low Abbotside is a civil parish in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England. It is a rural parish on the north side of Wensleydale.  There is no village in the parish.  The population was estimated at 110 in 2012.

Governance

The parish lies within the Richmond UK Parliament constituency. It also lies within the Upper Dales electoral division of North Yorkshire County Council and the Addlebrough ward of Richmonshire District Council.

The civil parish shares a grouped parish council with the civil parish of Askrigg, known as Askrigg & Low Abbotside Parish Council.

History
Low Abbotside was historically a township in the large ancient parish of Aysgarth in the North Riding of Yorkshire. The name derives from the land on the north side of Wensleydale held by the abbot of Jervaulx Abbey in the Middle Ages.  The first site of the abbey, founded in 1145 as Fors Abbey (named from a waterfall on the Meer Beck) is in the parish, about 1 mile west of Askrigg.  The abbey was moved from there to its present site in 1156.

The abbot's manor was formally known as the Manor of Wensleydale, at least from the 14th century, but was also known as Abbotside.  After the dissolution the abbot's lands were sold to a succession of owners, and in 1723 were acquired by the Wortley family, who divided Abbotside into the manors of High Abbotside and Low Abbotside.

In 1866 the manor or township of Low Abbotside became a separate civil parish.  The parish was enlarged in 1934, when part of Abbotside Common, previously shared with the parish of High Abbotside, was added to the parish.

title: Spring Park, Croydon

text:
Spring Park is a small area in London, England. It is within the London Borough of Bromley and the London Borough of Croydon, straddling the traditional Kent-Surrey border along The Beck. Spring Park is located north of Addington, west of West Wickham and south of Monks Orchard and Shirley.

History
The area was historically known as Cold Harbour. Settlement began in the area in the 1830s at the instigation of the MP John Temple Leader, who employed the agricultural innovator Hewitt Davis to turn what was barren heathland into productive farmland. Large scale residential building began in the 1920s–1930s. The Shrublands council estate was constructed after the Second World War on compulsorily purchased land from the golf course.

The area contains a small row of shops at the junction of Bridle Road and Broom Road. The Goat pub, which closed in 2017 following an attack on a local asylum seeker, re-opened in 2019 as The Apple Tree.

Notable residents
 Joshua Buatsi - boxer, grew up on the Shrublands estate.
