Students were received by the MIT Sloan Malaysia Alumni Club for a send off dinner after two weeks in the region.
Students with disabilities have the same rights and responsibilities as other students. It is not the disability itself, but the effect the disability has on a student's ability to access and participate in education which is relevant.
The Post War Yarnold Sanger Guard Post is reminiscent of the World War II Norcon Pillbox it's made of cast concrete sections rather than sections of pipe. Named after it's inventor and manufactured by the Arc Co. The standard design consists of five sections, a floor, two blank sections, a loopholed section and a roof. Extra sections can be added for extra height or added loophole sizes. Halved wall sections can be added to provide a protective screen around the entrance. Banked up earth to loophole level with an access trench gave further protection. Normally a free standing sentry/guard post sited near gateways, they were often painted white, green or camouflage colours. They were used by all three forces, those who regularly stood on guard never complained of their vulnerability, but how cold they were inside !
The Remote Radar Head Neatishead (RRH Neatishead), is an air defence radar site operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF). Originally known as Royal Air Force Station Neatishead, or commonly RAF Neatishead, it was established during the World War II, and consists of the main technical site located at Neatishead, together with a number of remote, and sometimes unmanned sites.
The station motto is Caelum Tuemur, meaning ''We Watch over the Sky''. The station badge depicts the lowered head of a horned bull; and relates to the origins of the word 'Neatishead', meaning 'the vassal's household'. RAF Neatishead was previously 'parented' (for administrative and support functions) by the nearby RAF Coltishall (a fighter station latterly operating four squadrons of the ground-attack SEPECAT Jaguar). Following the closure of RAF Coltishall in 2006, RRH Neatishead became parented by RAF Marham in West Norfolk.
When RAF Neatishead was first established, its primary function was as a 'Control and Reporting Centre' (CRC) for the south of the United Kingdom. Equipment previously located in the base included: Type 7 GCI, AN/FPS-6 height finding radar, Type 80 'Green Garlic' radar, Type 84 radar, Type 85 'Blue Yeoman' radar, 3 Decca (later Plessey) HF200 height finding radars, and a R15 radar.
On 16th February 1966, a fire broke out in the bunker, RAF station fire teams were unsuccessful in putting the fire out and so local civilian fire crews were called. Three civilian firefighters died and the fire burned for nine days before it was fully extinguished. Later that year, LAC Cheeseman was sentenced to seven years for starting the fire and causing the deaths. The station was closed for eight years, re-opening in 1974 after a major rebuild of the bunker complex.
The operational nature of the work undertaken at Neatishead was transferred to the previously mothballed site at RAF Bawdsey in 1966, with Bawdsey reverting to a care and maintenance programme when Neatishead came back on line in 1974. In November 1982, Group Captain Joan Hopkins took command of the station, becoming the first female RAF officer to take command of an operational station. During July 1990 the Type 85 radar was decommissioned after 23 years of use, it was replaced by the Type 93.
In April 2004, the decision was taken to substantially reduce activities at RAF Neatishead, and by 2006, the base had been downgraded from an RAF station to Remote Radar Head (RRH) status, but its adjacent museum remains open. Its former gate guardian, a F-4 Phantom previously based at RAF Wattisham, was cut up for scrap in 2005 despite interest from the Radar Museum. In October 2006, local news media reported that a buyer had been found for the now disused section of the base. The 25½ acres site was advertised again in January 2010, with an asking price of £4,000,000. The site was subsequently purchased for an undisclosed amount by Zimbabwean-born British entrepreneur William Sachiti.
RRH Neatishead controls the remote site of RRH Trimingham with its Lockheed TPS 77 radar. It forms part of the UK's air defences – namely the UK 'Air Surveillance And Control System' (ASACS), and is part of the larger NATO air defence. RRH Neatishead is adjacent to the RAF Air Defence Radar Museum. In July 2022, it was announced that the radar equipment at RAF Trimingham would be moved 8 miles to the RRH Neatishead site due to the threat of coastal erosion, and the increased interference experienced by radar operators from the off-shore wind turbines; the move was completed by the end of 2023.

An iconic volcanic tuff cone, Diamond Head, known in Hawaiian as Lēʻahi, is a prominent feature on the coast of the island of Oahu, just south of the famous Waikiki district of Honolulu. The cone dates to sometime between 400,000 and 500,000 years ago, far younger than most of the island of Oahu, which was formed by two large extinct volcanoes about 2.6 million years ago, being created during a period of activity long after the two larger volcanoes had gone dormant in a series of eruptions from the Koʻolau Range Volcano known as the Honolulu Volcanic Series. The highest ridgeline of the cone stands 762 feet (232 meter) above the adjacent ocean, with steep, dramatic slopes and a very distinctive shape. Upon the arrival of the Native Hawaiian people to the Hawaiian islands, the shape of the cone is believed to have reminded the Hawaiians of a tuna’s dorsal fin, thus being given the compound name Lēʻahi, likely meaning “browridge of the tuna.” In the 19th Century, British sailors observing volcanic calcite crystals on a beach adjacent to the cone gave it the name “Diamond Head,” as they believed the crystals to be diamonds. In 1906, the cone became part of Fort Ruger, the first military reservation in what was then the Territory of Hawaii, and named for Civil War-era General Thomas H. Ruger in 1909. Tunnels, roads, support facilities, and batteries were built in the crater and into the ridgeline of the cone, fortifying the strategic location that allowed for easy defense of the adjacent harbor at Honolulu. During the 1960s, the portion of Fort Ruger in the cone was gradually decommissioned, and the area was opened to the public, with only a small fenced area and a few mid-20th Century buildings remaining in use at the bottom of the crater by the early 2000s. Today, only two secure facilities still operates in the crater, a National Guard emergency operations center, located in a building inside the crater, and the Hawaii State Civil Defense Headquarters, located in a tunnel within the walls of the cone. Diamond Head was listed as a United States Natural National Landmark in 1968. The crater is also within the Fort Ruger Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Today, the cone is a major tourist attraction, with a trail to the summit offering spectacular views and access to one of the decommissioned bunkers.
