Svetlana Savitskaya – The Story Of Russian Astronaut
Inspiring People in STEM
Everybody knows that Valentina Tereshkova was the first woman to travel into space. Now, do you know the name of the second woman space traveler? She was also a Soviet cosmonaut, and her name was Svetlana Savitskaya.
She holds the distinction of the first woman ever to go for a spacewalk and spend more than three hours outside the Salyut 7( space station) on July 25, 1984. During her spacewalk, she welded metals with the precision of a goldsmith!
Born on August 8, 1948, Svetlana Savitskaya was the adorable daughter of Yeveniy Savitsky, a World War II hero.
She was an energetic child from the very beginning with immense interest in co-curricular activities.No wonder Svetlana opts to go for elective courses in swimming, music, and figure skating during her high school days.
At the age of 16, she enrolled herself in skydiving classes without informing her parents.
It was only when during high school, Svetlana took elective courses in music, English, swimming, and figure skating.
Her father came to know about the same when he accidentally found a parachute knife concealed carefully in her school bag!
Svetlana Savitskaya gets enrolled in the Moscow Aviation Institute. However, this comes as no surprise as her father was himself a legendary fighter pilot and the commanding general in the Defence Forces.
Soon, the energetic personality becomes an active member of the Soviet National Aerobatics Team at the age of 22.
She even earned the nickname 'Miss Sensation' by the British press because of her superb performance in the World Aerobatics Competition in the UK.
After she graduated from the Moscow Aviation Institute as a flight instructor, she enrolled herself in the Pilot School. She learned the technique of how to fly turboprop and supersonic planes.
In 1980, she joined the Cosmonaut School, and after two years, she was selected as a crew member of the Soyuz T-7 mission.
On the professional front, Svetlana got her first job in 1980 as a cosmonaut. However, it was in 1982 that she was a crew member at the Salyut 7 space station.
She conducts various experiments on eye movement, cardiovascular system, motion sickness, and so on during her tenure.
She remained there for more than 7 days and became the second only women in space. Soon, she becomes a national hero and an inspiration to many aspiring women cosmonauts.
Exactly after two years, Svetlana was again selected for a space mission on July 17 when Soyuz T12 was launched for maintenance work on the Salyut 7 space station.
It was during this stint that she exited the space station and carried out the maintenance work involving welding, soldering, and cutting. Her famed space walk lasts more than 3 hours, and she becomes an overnight star!
She then starts working as a civil engineer at an industrial and scientific center. In 1987, she got appointed as the Deputy to the Chief Designer of the Energia Project.
However, she gradually becomes inclined towards politics and become a member of the Communist party.
Although Svetlana won several awards during her high school and college days for parachute jumping, it was after her famed spacewalk that she won various accolades and awards, among which the notable ones are as follows:
Hero of the Soviet Union
Order of Lenin
Order of the Badge of Honor
Apart from the above ones, she is also a world record holder as a pilot and has an asteroid in her name that orbits the Sun.
It was her overall excellence as a pilot and cosmonaut that changed the general perception towards females in space missions.
Svetlana is happily married to Viktor Khatkovsky, an engineer and pilot, and had a son. She is still alive and is inspiring millions of women across the globe.

'Black Panther' star Chadwick Boseman snags new role in '17 Bridges'
This will be the actor's first lead role since 'Black Panther.'
Cortney Wills
Chadwick Boseman stole everyone's heart as King T'Challah in Black Panther and now he has his sights set on a new gig.
Boseman is set to star in and produce the upcoming thriller, 17 Bridges for STXfilms. His writing and producing partner, Logan Coles, will co-produce the film along with Avengers: Infinity War directors, Anthony Russo and Joe Russo. The action film is set to start production in September and will be directed by Game of Thrones and Luther director, Brian Kirk.
'Black Panther' star Chadwick Boseman gives his MTV Movie award to real-life Waffle House hero James Shaw Jr.
"STX has assembled a dream team of collaborators on '17 Bridges,' bringing together the global talents behind two of the biggest action films ever made to give audiences a thrilling new take on the race-against-the-clock crime-drama," STXfilms chairman Adam Fogelson said in a statement.
Chadwick Boseman reveals he finally met Denzel Washington to thank him for acting program
"Chadwick Boseman's razor-sharp instincts and undeniable charisma captivated millions of people around the world in 'Black Panther,' and Joe and Anthony Russo have breathed a new energy into the action genre with films like 'Avengers: Infinity War,'" Fogelson added. "Their unique and intelligent approach to filmmaking is anything but formulaic, and with Brian Kirk at the helm directing, this film promises to go beyond the typical popcorn fare."
5 Best quotes from Chadwick Boseman's Howard University graduation speech
Chadwick Boseman and Logan Coles already have another collaboration in the works. Their upcoming film adaptation of The Stars In My Soul, a memoir by Hakeem Oluseyi has been purchased by Working Title. The duo previously co-produced Message From The King in 2016.
We can't wait to see what Chadwick Boseman serves up in his next starring role and if we're lucky, perhaps it will lead to another hosting stint on Saturday Night Live.

This makes our company a great decision for customers with kids, dogs or concerns about other non-target wildlife that may be affected by normal rodent extermination techniques.
Gophers will leave multiple mounds of dirt in the garden. Gophers are rodents that prefer to live a solitary life. Rodent Guys pest control specialize in gopher extermination and extraction for Fountain Valley. We begin by walking the lawn and scan for the ideal spot to set traps, and then we return a few days later and check the traps. Once the trap check is complete the technician will use a carbon monoxide machine to inject gas into the tunnel system to ensure complete control.
Moles are more difficult to control, which requires some more technique that the technicians at Rodent Guys pest control have. Moles are smaller than gophers and require a different trap. A employee will go out to the property and make sure that it is mole, and then set the traps. The traps will be checked a few days later to extract the mole or reset traps as needed.
Mole are more difficult to treat so customers should take advantage of the 60-day guarantee. The guarantee allows the customer to call our company within their guarantee period if they spot any new activity. One of our friendly employees will go back out and re-treat the property as often as needed during the guarantee span at no additional cost.
Another pest that Rodent Guys specialize in are ground squirrels in Fountain Valley. If someone has issues with squirrels a technician will be dispatched out and set traps in key areas around the property. During the trap set up and trap checks the squirrel tunnels will be treated and closed off.
Pest control is not just about treating rodents, bugs are also considered as pests. Our company performs outside insect. When a employee goes out to spray a house they will normally spray the base foundation and anywhere that leads into the building. The best area to defend are vents, access doors, and fissures in stucco or other crevasses a bug can get into. We also spray around the bbq, trash area and pool pumps and we will walk around the yard for trouble spots which are all high bug and insect traffic areas, which are often overlooked. The spraying can help elminate cockroaches, ants, spiders, roaches, silverfish, fleas, ticks, and other bugs.

L'étang Saint-Nicolas est un étang artificiel situé sur les communes d'Angers et d'Avrillé en Maine-et-Loire. L'étang est entouré d'espaces semi-naturels avec une alternance de parcs, forêts et de landes sèches. Les rives de l'étang sont classées parmi les sites et monuments naturels de caractère artistique, historique, scientifique, légendaire ou pittoresque par arrêté du ministre de l'Éducation nationale et des Beaux-Arts le .

L'étang est accessible par la rue La Bruyère, le boulevard Albert-Camus, la place de Farcy et la rue Saint-Jacques. Les parcs de l'étang sont ouverts de huit heures à vingt heures.

Géographie

L'étang Saint-Nicolas se trouve dans la partie ouest d'Angers. L'axe de l'étang se situe d'ouest en est en direction de la Maine. Il est alimenté par le Brionneau, lit principal, ainsi que de nombreux autres filets d'eaux venant de partout autour de l'étang. Il commence aux portes d'Avrillé et progresse en passant par le quartier de Belle-Beille sur sa rive Sud et les parcs des Carrières et de la Garenne sur sa rive nord-est. Il finit sa course vers la rue Saint-Jacques, son trop plein s'écoulant dans la Maine.

Depuis 1961 son entrée principale se trouve à la sortie Est du quartier de Belle-Beille au niveau de la rue Saint-Jacques. L'étang Saint-Nicolas a une superficie de . Sa longueur est de  dans l'axe. Son point le plus large  est de 100 mètres. Sa profondeur maximum est de six mètres et son altitude est de 20 mètres.

L'étang est longé d'un parcours pédestre boisé aménagé sur ses deux rives allant de 5 à 7,7 kilomètres.

Jusqu'au début du , les exploitations d'ardoise ont laissé de profonds trous dans la partie boisée à l'ouest de l'étang. À ces endroits, le schiste esquilleux se débitait facilement en pieux pour tuteurs et échalas de vigne, sous le nom de barrettes, très prisées à l'époque.

Historique

L'étang est le résultat de l'élargissement du lit du Brionneau dû à l'exploitation du schiste au . Il est creusé vers l'an 1000 à la demande du Comte d'Anjou Foulques Nerra à proximité de l'abbaye Saint-Nicolas.
Foulques Nerra fonde l'abbaye Saint-Nicolas pour s'acquitter d'un vœu fait lors d'une tempête pendant son voyage à Jérusalem. Vers 1040, l'abbaye reçoit l'étang de la part de Geoffroy Martel, fils de Foulques Nerra.

En 1230, Saint Louis fera utiliser le schiste et l'ardoise extraits de l'étang pour la construction du château d'Angers.

L'abbaye Saint-Nicolas prend possession d'une partie des terrains qui bordent l'étang en 1640. Les moines de l'abbaye tracent des chemins le long du coteau. Ils y plantent différentes essences végétales comme des lilas. L'ensemble des terres deviendra par la suite le parc de la Garenne. Au , des moulins à eau sont construits sur la retenue d'eau. Ils servent aux moines de l'abbaye pour moudre les cultures de blé et de seigle provenant des exploitations aux alentours.

À partir de 1791, les terrains situés sur les rives de l'étang sont vendus au titre de bien national. L'étang est partagé entre une quinzaine de propriétaires.
En 1884, l'étang  et la chaussée du Brionneau sont achetés par Louis-Marie Annibal de Farcy. Il y construit un atelier d'étude sur les moteurs à bateau et automobile.
En 1886, la ville d'Angers a pour projet d'acheter l'étang. Pour ce faire, elle décide de classer le lieu au rang des sites pittoresques. Elle prend possession de l'étang le . En 1936, elle acquiert le parc de la Garenne. Jusqu'en 1940, la ville achète les dernières parties des rives dans le but d'y aménager une promenade publique.

L'aménagement du parc de la Garenne commence en 1936. Il est confié à René-Edouard André, fils d'Edouard André, paysagiste du jardin des plantes d'Angers.

Dans les années 1970, l'extrémité Ouest de l'étang a été en partie comblée par des gravats émanant du chantier de l'usine Bull. En 1988, la communauté d'agglomération d'Angers acquiert la trentaine d'hectares en amont de l'étang. Cette portion est aménagée en forêts et landes sèches.

Composition

L'étang Saint-Nicolas est composé de cinq espaces naturels. La superficie de l'ensemble des parcs de l'étang de Saint-Nicolas est de 112 hectares.

Parc de la Garenne

Le parc de la Garenne est situé à Angers. Il a été dessiné par René-Edouard André à partir de 1936. Il ouvre au public à l'été 1937. Il est poursuivi par le parc des carrières.

Son aménagement est réalisé en une quinzaine d'années. Le réseau d'allées est tracé progressivement. Un tunnel est percé dans la falaise de schiste en 1938 afin de conserver la continuité du chemin qui entoure l'étang.

La parc abrite également un parc animalier.

Parc des carrières

Le parc des Carrières est situé à Avrillé entre le parc de la Garenne et le parc de la Haye à proximité de l'étang Saint-Nicolas. Il est situé sur un ancien champs d'extraction de schistes et d'ardoises.

Parc de la Haye

Le parc de la Haye est situé à Avrillé entre le parc des carrières et la queue de l'étang Saint-Nicolas. Son nom vient du prieuré anciennement propriétaire de cette partie des coteaux de l'étang, le Prieuré de la Haie-aux-Bonshommes.

Parc de Belle-Beille

Le parc de Belle-Beille est situé à Angers entre l'esplanade Saint-Jacques et la queue de l'étang Saint-Nicolas.

Au début du , des horticulteurs installent des plantations sur le coteau et sur une partie du plateau (actuel UFR des sciences). La présence de terre de bruyère avec un fort taux d'oxyde de fer était très recherchée pour la culture de l'hortensia.

À l'origine, vers 1830, un gardien de chèvres aurait trouvé une statuette de la Vierge sur les rives de l'étang. Très vite surnommée « Notre-Dame-du-lac », un oratoire lui fut aménagé. Cette statuette disparut par vandalisme et fut rétablie par le Chanoine Pinier, sculptée par l'Angevin Dupré en 1927 et posée en 1930 où elle disparut à nouveau. Aujourd'hui, il reste une plaque d'ardoise marquée "Notre-Dame-du-Lac" devenue lieu de pèlerinage pour les jésuites et les habitants de Saint-Jacques.

En 1876, au bord de l'étang Saint-Nicolas, furent installés d'épais murs sur  de long. Ils servaient de stand de tir aux casernes angevines. Entre le  et le , une soixantaine de personnes y furent fusillées.

En , un monument commémoratif y a été inauguré en hommage aux fusillés de Belle Beille. Cette œuvre du sculpteur René Guilleux représente gravé dans l'ardoise un homme dont la tête et le regard sont droits, le torse nu et les mains nouées dans le dos. Sous ses pieds on peut lire : « Aux fusillés, à tous les morts de la résistance ».

Queue de l'étang

La queue de l'étang est un espace naturel situé en amont de l'étang Saint-Nicolas entre les communes d'Angers, Avrillé et Beaucouzé. Une partie de cet espace résulte du comblement de l'étang par des gravats en provenance de l'usine Bull située à proximité.

L'espace est caractérisé par la présence de nombreuses espèces végétales aquatique et semi-aquatique comme les iris et les nénuphars.

Sur le plateau surplombant l'étang, une lande sèche a été aménagé. Des essences de bruyère et de genêt ont poussé dans cet endroit particulièrement adapté aux végétaux de taille réduite et adaptés à la sécheresse.

Sur le coteau amenant à l'étang, des combes boisées et humides ont permis à des espèces à floraison printanière de s'installer comme les primevères et les anémones.

Milieu naturel

L'étang Saint-Nicolas possède des paysages variés constituant des biotopes spécifiques tout le long des rives :
 La lande sèche et schisteuse est couverte de genêts et de bruyères.
 Les coteaux orientés au sud possèdent une flore méridionale de chênes verts et pins.
 Les coteaux orientés au nord sont composés de massifs de châtaigniers et de chênes ainsi qu'une sapinière, créée vers 1950 que la ville d'Angers exploite pour ses sapins de Noël.
 Les combes humides sont peuplées de fougères et pervenches.

L'étang abrite un écosystème aquatique et rivulaire spécifique. On y trouve surtout du poisson chat, de la carpe, du brochet, et du sandre, du poisson blanc tels que brèmes, gardons, tanches et plus rarement l'achigan et le silure. Il est classé en deuxième catégorie pour la pèche. Le plan d'eau a été interdit à la navigation vers les années 1980.

Fifth element returns to movie theaters to honour 25th anniversary
On May 7, 1997, Luke Besson's cult sci-fi epic The Fifth Element has seen its theatrical debut. In the United States, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the film's release, starring Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, Gary Oldman, and Chris Tucker, the special screenings will happen on June 26 and June 29.
For those who forgot or have never seen the cult classic, let me remind you of the premise. The film takes place in the XXIII century, Bruce Willis plays Corben Dallas, a taxi driver, who tries to save the galaxy, and protect an alien, named Lilu (Mila Jovovich) from an evil industrialist named Zorg (Gary Oldman). Because every five thousand years, the door between dimensions opens and dark forces seek to disrupt the existing harmony. And every five thousand years the universe needs a hero who can resist this evil. And he will be able to do this only with the help of five elements, hidden from the eyes of all living beings until a certain time.
The film was revolutionary for its time and is considered the first high-budget film shot outside of the Hollywood.
Even if you've even seen this movie a hundred times, we encourage you to watch it again. These two hours of your life will be totally worth it!

Innovative device could offer new hope for heart patients
by Colin Poitras, University of Connecticut
Chemistry Ph.D. student Islam Mosa holds an ultrathin implantable bioelectronic device he developed that is powered by a novel supercapacitor capable of generating enough power to sustain a cardiac pacemaker. It is more biocompatible and lasts much longer than existing pacemaker batteries. Credit: Islam Mosa
A UConn graduate student is developing a new micro-scale power source that is significantly smaller and more efficient than the batteries currently used in most cardiac pacemakers today.
Working under the tutelage of chemistry professors James Rusling and Challa Kumar, Ph.D. student Islam Mosa is developing an implantable electronic device that draws its power from an ultra-small, ultra-thin supercapacitor.
"Our supercapacitors are thinner than a human hair," says Mosa, who is pursuing his doctorate in the Department of Chemistry in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. "They are also very stable. They could be designed to power a cardiac pacemaker for the life of the patient."
Implantable cardiac pacemakers have extended the lives of millions of people since they were first introduced in the late 1950s. But current models are not without their drawbacks. They are powered by bulky batteries that require surgery when their charge weakens, and they need to be replaced. This poses a risk for infection. The batteries' internal electronic components also can be toxic to the body should they ever leak.
About the size of a postage stamp, Mosa's power source is bendable and looks like a thin piece of film. In lab tests, the device has also been shown to be non-toxic to living cells. This feature is possible, Mosa says, because the device uses the patient's own blood serum as an electrolyte rather than draw its power from a potentially toxic lithium-ion battery, which is the preferred power source for most cardiac pacemakers today.
"We charged and discharged the device in a petri dish to see what happened to cell cultures, and surprisingly it had no effect at all," Mosa says. "Because the supercapacitor components are compatible with the biological environment, even if it leaks, it would have no detrimental effect on the patient."
The power system's efficiency allows it to maintain a charge for a long period of time, a feature that could make it suitable for other bioelectronic devices such as implantable neurostimulators, which are used to treat some patients with Parkinson's disease.
"The loss of capacity over time is very small, which makes these supercapacitors very promising to power biomedical devices over the long term," says Mosa, who has been working on the device for the past three years.

Exactly how the power system works and how a patient's biofluids serve as an electrolyte is still proprietary. Mosa and the research team expect more details to be released soon once their research paper is accepted for publication.
Professor Rusling is an expert in bioanalytical chemistry, protein-based cancer diagnostic sensors, and toxicity screening sensors. Professor Kumar is an expert in biological materials. Also participating in the research were UConn chemistry professor Ashis Basu, an expert in molecular biology; Professor Richard Kaner, a distinguished biochemist and polymer expert from UCLA; and Maher El-Kady, a postdoc in the Kaner lab.
While working on his doctoral dissertation, Mosa recently received a top honor for succinctly conveying the core concepts of his supercapacitor research in an international competition sponsored by Universitas 21 (U21), a network of research universities around the globe.
Mosa won the People's Choice Award for a three-minute video presentation of his doctoral thesis, capturing a record number of online votes. More than 1,000 graduate students from universities as far away as Australia, New Zealand, China, Singapore, South Africa, and the UK competed in the so-called 3MT event this year.
Mosa represented UConn in the U21 international competition after placing first in a contest sponsored by the Department of Chemistry and then winning a campus-wide event in September.
"Islam is a very accomplished young scientist and a powerful communicator," says Kent Holsinger, UConn's dean of graduate students and vice provost for graduate education."His work may improve the lives of thousands who depend on cardiac pacemakers. The 3MT competition helped him develop the skills to describe complex, technical details of his work in language we can all understand, and we are very proud to have him represent UConn in the 2016 U21 competition."
Mosa says his award-winning presentation wouldn't have been possible without the support of Rusling, Kumar, and others on the research team.
"180 seconds to tell the story of my thesis research to a broad audience while making each word count was undoubtedly one of the biggest challenges I have had in my graduate career," he says. "I'm thrilled for all of the skills I have gained through this amazing experience. I encourage all graduate students to participate. It's a great learning opportunity."
