Soldiers and Airmen assigned to the information technology and communication sections of the Virginia National Guard joint staff and Army Guard staff train on the Joint Incident Site Communications Capability July 13, 2016, in Onancock, Virginia. The JISCC is an advanced communications system that can be rapidly deployed to an incident location and uses secure satellite connections to provide the Guard and first responders with high speed internet, voice-over-IP telephones and high frequency radio communications. The training also provided an opportunity to build relationships with local emergency services managers and help them learn more about the capabilities the Guard can provide if there was an incident that degraded normal communication systems.

Lancelot Brown (1716 – 6 February 1783), more commonly known as Capability Brown, was an English landscape gardener. He is remembered as "the last of the great English eighteenth-century artists to be accorded his due", and "England's greatest gardener". He designed over 170 parks, many of which still endure.
Compton Verney House, the present mansion, was built by George Verney, twelfth Lord Willoughby de Broke in 1714. In 1780, the fourteenth Earl employed Robert Adam for the purpose of carrying out major extensions to the manor. The grounds were landscaped by Lancelot "Capability" Brown who constructed two lakes almost a mile long from a number of smaller pools. The house was bought in 1993 in a run-down state by Littlewoods millionaire Sir Peter Moores, and restored into an art gallery capable of hosting international exhibitions.
Wrest Park is a country estate located near Silsoe, Bedfordshire, England. It comprises Wrest Park, a Grade I listed country house, and Wrest Park Gardens, also Grade I listed, formal gardens surrounding the mansion.
The present house was built in 1834–39, to designs by its owner Thomas de Grey, 2nd Earl de Grey, an amateur architect and the first president of the Royal Institute of British Architects, who was inspired by buildings he had seen on trips to Paris.
Wrest Park has an early eighteenth-century garden, spread over 92 acres, which was probably originally laid out by George London and Henry Wise for Henry Grey, 1st Duke of Kent, then modified by Lancelot "Capability" Brown in a more informal landscape style.

The Park - The extensive 1,800 acres of wooded parkland, created in part by 'Capability' Brown, is a living landscape rich in plant, animal, and bird life. Some parts cultivated and grazed, yet much can be explored and enjoyed.
The Gardens - The gardens surrounding the house were created in the first half of the 19th century by the First Marquess of Bristol. Those in the formal Italian style to the south of the house feature the Gold and Silver Gardens, a Victorian Stumpery and the Temple Rose Garden. A raised terrace walk separates the south garden from the park.
Beyond the church (recently reopened) are the remnants of an 18th-century garden created by the First Earl. His summerhouse (circa.1703) and ornamental canal still survive. The kitchen garden, protected by high brick walls, which was until 2013 a vineyard, is now being reinstated to its original use as a kitchen garden, to provide vegetables etc for the restaurant. Part of the walled garden is used as an allotment and is tended by Ickworth Park Primary School, the children aided by parents and teachers grow vegetables to take back to school for lunches, or to sell to the restaurant in the west wing at Ickworth.

ATLANTIC FUTURE FORUM 2022
The 2022 Atlantic Future Forum (AFF) took place on board HMS Queen Elizabeth, Thursday 29th September at anchor off New York City during her deployment to the USA.
The event, two day conference, brings together the brightest minds and most influential thinkers-from defence and beyond-to strengthen the US-UK special relationship and encourage collaboration between the public and private sector. Through a series of keynote speeches and panel discussions, the Forum will explore how both private and public sector and US and UK interests can work together to maximise the opportunities – and mitigate the risks – posed by current and future technologies.
The Forum will be an opportunity for senior politicians, policymakers, military leaders and academia, together with business leaders and entrepreneurs to discuss the new dimensions of international security and the future technologies which will define the next decade and beyond.
The Forum will be led by the Department for International Trade (DIT), working alongside the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) to strengthen the trade and economic pillars of the Euro-Atlantic alliance and reinforce our security and defence partnerships with like-minded, democratic allies. The AFF is chaired by Lord Sedwill and will be co-hosted by the First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Ben Key and HM Ambassador Dame Karen Pierce.
HMS Queen Elizabeth sailed from Portsmouth on the 7th September 2022 for New York, United States of America, to host Atlantic Future Forum before continuing on operations.
Croome Park is a landscaped country park surrounding Croome Court, in Worcestershire. It was Lancelot 'Capability' Brown's first complete landscape design, begun in 1751 for George Coventry, 6th Earl of Coventry. The mansion house was also designed by Brown and is a rare example of his architectural work.
The Court has recently been acquired by the National Trust and is currently being renovated.
Croome Court is a grade 1 listed building.
ROYAL MAIL MARKS 300TH ANNIVERSARY OF CAPABILITY BROWN'S BIRTH
15.08.2016 | category: General
Royal Mail has launched a set of eight Special Stamps to mark the 300th anniversary of the birth of Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown.
Brown is remembered as ‘the last of the great eighteenth century artists’ and as ‘England’s greatest gardener’. The stamps showcase eight of the best loved examples of Capability Brown’s work and are a celebration of his contribution to the English landscape.
Locations on the stamps feature: Blenheim Palace, Longleat, Compton Verney, Highclere Castle, Alnwick Castle, Berrington Hall, Stowe and Croome Park.
Ceryl Evans, Director of the Capability Brown Festival, said: “It is wonderful that Royal Mail has issued a set of Special Stamps to celebrate the work of Lancelot "Capability" Brown in his tercentenary year. The Capability Brown Festival is working to raise the profile and understanding of historic landscapes and what better way to bring these stunning images into people’s lives, homes and offices than on a stamp.”
Philip Parker, Stamp Strategy Manager, Royal Mail, said: “During his lifetime, Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown literally changed the face of Georgian England. By the time of his death, he was known to have shaped or influenced around 250 landscapes - these stamps pay tribute to the lasting legacy of his work.”
The stamps are available from 16 August at www.royalmail.com/landscapegardens and 8,000 Post Offices.
For seven days from 16 August, Royal Mail will provide a special handstamp on all mail posted at the postbox in Kirkharle. The handstamp will run from 16-22 August and will feature a line drawing of Brown based on the portrait of him painted by Richard Cosway, c.1770-75, by the kind permission of Bridgeman Images.

Compton Verney's Chapel was built in 1772 by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown to replace the medieval church that stood by the lake nearby. It has not been used for services since the Verney family left in 1921.
Inside the rectangular room has plaster decoration influenced by Robert Adam's work. The main items of interest are the Verney monuments including a large centrally placed tomb with effigies of Sir Richard & wife by Nicholas Stone c1630. However given the long term disuse of the building most of the monuments have been boxed in for protection. They will remain hidden until funding is found to restore and re-open the chapel as part of the visitor attraction here,
The 16th century glass once contained here was sold in the 1920s and is now in New York. Nobody seems to know what's become of the brasses. They may still be there under all the clutter that the building's mothballed state has generated.
Compton Verney House stands in a beautiful setting overlooking a lake. The grounds were landscaped by Capability Brown who also built the chapel.
The House itself is largely the work of Robert Adam, who in the 1760s who added extra ranges to an existing west range of 1714,
From the early 20th century the house passed through various owners, and after requisitioning in World War II was never lived in again, and thus remained in a state of disuse, slowly falling apart, until rescued and converted into a highly successful art gallery in the 1990s.

The house is now almost fully restored and in use. The chapel however remains closed and awaits proper restoration.

Research on desalination via pervaporation has become more and more active in recent years; this method has the advantage of a high rejection of salt and the capability of coping with high-salinity solutions. Liang et al. developed a TFNC membrane for pervaporation desalination by sequential deposition employing an electrospraying/electrospinning technique. A crosslinked PVA barrier layer with a thickness of 700 nm on a PAN nanofibrous substrate displayed excellent desalination performance (i.e., high water flux and a salt rejection ratio >99.5%) for different salt concentrations. GO has attracted great attention for membrane separation, as mentioned earlier, especially in the field of pervaporation application. But it is a big challenge to prepare a stable GO layer on a highly porous nanofibrous support because of the undulating surface caused by the fibrous structure. To solve this problem, Cheng et al. demonstrated a novel TFNC membrane consisting of an electrospun PAN nanofibrous substrate and a robust GO barrier layer for pervaporation desalination application. As shown in Figure, the stacked GO nanosheets were successfully interlinked with sufficient bonding by GA with the aid of a flexible connector, PVA, which acted as the spacing bridges to provide adequate stability in a water environment. Thanks to the superiority of a peculiar ultrathin hydrophilic GO skin layer and a fully interconnected porous nanofibrous substrate, the optimized TFNC membranes exhibited an excellent permeate flux of 69.1 L/m2h and a stable high rejection (99.9%) over a testing period of 24 h using an aqueous salt solution with NaCl concentration of 35 g/L at 70℃, which was superior to homogeneous membranes and composite membranes applied in pervaporation desalination reported so far.
Croome Court is a mid-18th-century Neo-Palladian mansion surrounded by extensive landscaped parkland at Croome D'Abitot, near Pershore in south Worcestershire, England. The mansion and park were designed by Lancelot "Capability" Brown for the 6th Earl of Coventry, and were Brown's first landscape design and first major architectural project. Some of the mansion's rooms were designed by Robert Adam.
The mansion house is owned by Croome Heritage Trust, and is leased to the National Trust which operates it as a tourist attraction. The National Trust owns the surrounding parkland, which is also open to the public.
