The Rotor programme was developed to advance the wartime radar technology in detecting and locating fast-flying jets. It was approved by the Air Council in June 1950. The first stage of the programme, Rotor 1, was to technically restore existing Chain Home, centrimetric early warning, Chain Home Extra Low and Ground Controlled Interception Stations and put them under the control of RAF Fighter Command. There were three main components to the Rotor Stations: the technical site, including the radars, operation blocks and other installations; the domestic site, where personnel were accommodated; and the stand-by set house, a reserve power supply. The technical site for RAF Neatishead Rotor Station was located at TG 346 184. Crew were accommodated at RAF Coltishall and the stand-by set house was located at TG 342 200.
The two main constructions at Rotor stations were the operations block and guardhouse. Operations blocks were the largest structures built at Rotor stations. They were constructed of reinforced concrete and designed to withstand 2,000lb bombs. The outer walls and roof of the Rotor operations blocks were 9ft 10in thick and the internal walls between 5.9in to 1ft 11in metres wide. The exterior was coated with an asphalt damp course and surrounded by a 5.9in brick wall. The roof was usually flush with the ground surface and up to 14 ft 2in of earth was mounded on top. The operations blocks, identified by a 'R' prefix, contained technical equipment, domestic facilities, workshops and a plant for air conditioning and gas filtration, all within a single complex.
Four of the blocks (R1-R4) were underground constructions designed for the more vulnerable sites on the east and south-east coasts. Others were semi-submerged (R6) or above ground (R5, R7-R11) heavily protected structures built to withstand 1,000lb bombs. The guardhouses were designed to resemble ''bungalows''. They were single-storey buildings capped with a flat, concrete roof, above which a pitched roof contained water tanks. They were generally constructed of brick, but were built to blend in with the local architectural style. The guard rooms also contained an armoury, store, rest room and lavatories. Those associated with underground operations blocks featured a projecting rear annex that housed a stairwell leading down to an access tunnel.
Aerial photography from 1965 shows the R3 operations bunker at the site, as well as a Type 13, a Type 7 and four Type 14 radar plinths. A range of ancillary buildings survive. The area is part of an active base and museum. In March 1947 the station was established as a Sector Operations Centre. Between 1961 to 1963 the station was reduced to care and maintenance and was then reopened as a Master Radar Station. A fire in 1966 destroyed the underground operations complex and the station was closed until 1974 with a new data-handling system occupying the original Happidrome. In 1994 the Air Defence Radar Museum opened at the site, which also continues to serve as an operational base.
Personal experience of working at Neatishead communicated by email states ''I was posted there as a sgt in 1973 and it was fully operational, T85, T84, HF200 and more all working. Furthermore, the other half of my Locking entry was posted there in 1971 and all worked on the operational radars, txs and rxs. I left in 1976 and visited again in 1977. T85, stuff of legends, 60Mw with all 12 Txs running''. Detailed history of the 50 years of the founding of RAF Neatishead 1941-1991. R30 operations room, R12 Radar equipment building and R3 underground operations block; Listed. For the designation records of this site please see The National Heritage List for England. Decommissioned 2006 and sold. Feb 2013, 25 acres of the site were again sold. The Air Defence Radar Museum was not part of the sale.

No artsy fartsy stuff this time. I'm not sure if anyone reads this, but I'd like to write this down anyway...
Friday I developed two rolls of film (in 120 size). I don't really have a darkroom. I use a film changing bag in the batroom to load the films in the tank. The loading of the films to the spiral was a struggle. It's quite hot now and I was sweatting quite a lot. The sweat made the inside of the changing bag very humid and the film started to stick to the plastic auto load reel. After developing a found that the loading was almost fine... But I had a few wrnkles on one of the films.
Today I took the item on the picture... A cheap tabletop fan... And set it behind me before loading the films. It kept other parts of my body cool and even if the changing bag got quite hot my hand were swetting a lot less. The loading was a lot easier!
Sometimes the solutions are quite simple!
Oh... The picture is digital... I used a manual focus 55mm f/1.8 lens for bokey background... May that be the artsyfartsy part today. :D

A very common phenomenon in Shanghai, while the building is still old and under construction, the old stores and the newly opened stores co-exist. This will probably be gone when the building is totally rebuilt.

Mike Ruiz, former program manager for DEVELOP, delivers closing remarks during the 2023 DEVELOP Day, Wednesday, Aug. 9, 2023, at the Mary W. Jackson NASA Headquarters building in Washington. Every summer students and young professionals from NASA’s Applied Sciences’ DEVELOP National Program come to NASA Headquarters to present their research. This year marks the 25th year of DEVELOP, a training and development program where students work on Earth science research projects, mentored by science advisors from NASA and partner agencies, and extend research results to local communities.

This event provided teams from seven countries (Mozambique, Ghana, Tanzania, Zambia, Ethiopia, Vietnam, Ecuador) with the opportunity to present the final tax-benefit microsimulation models and share the lessons learnt in the model-building process.
Part of the UNU-WIDER SOUTHMOD project run in collaboration with ISSER, the University of Tampere, and the University of Essex, the meeting also provided a forum for joint discussion on the ways ahead in terms of model updating and promoting their use.
The Developing Leaders Initiative (DLI) is the premier leadership program for Sigma Alpha Mu undergraduates, funded by the Sigma Alpha Mu Foundation. Exceptional undergraduate members from across North America are selected to participate in this special program. Sigma Alpha Mu is excited to share that the program is being changed to an annual program that will consist of a rewarding six-month leadership experience beginning with an in-person weekend meeting in January and concluding with a virtual meeting in May with the Octagon.
A developing Supercell across far Northeast Wisconsin on July 1 2017. Only isolated storms were expected, but this beast began to develop along an old outflow boundary from a storm early in the afternoon. Aiding in the development was a lake breeze boundary. The updraft was so explosive.

A record of the extremely low temperatures we've endured this winter, all taken from my home in Redditch, where snow covering has been thick and temperatures have been consistently low (nearby Pershore was the coldest place in Britain one night at -18oc!).
The most exceptional thing for me however is the fabulous display of icicles my house (and others nearby) has been decorated with, which seem to be growing ever larger and more beautiful by the day, like crystalline stalactites!
The most dramatic indication of how things were developing was the old bicycle by my back door (bike not used for years) which was under the first icicles and consequently the freezing drips falling from them, which have turned it into an ever more intriguing ice sculpture with each passing day! As a result I added a few choice (frostproof!) smaller items to make the process more interesting!
Pendine is a village and community in Carmarthenshire, Wales. Situated on the northern shore of Carmarthen Bay and bordered by the communities of Eglwyscummin and Llanddowror.
There are two parts of the village: the old hill-top settlement around the parish church; and the small harbour settlement on the shore. The latter developed into a small seaside resort during the 20th century. The seaside resort is best known for Pendine Sands, where Malcolm Campbell and J. G. Parry-Thomas set the world land speed record five times between 1924 and 1927. Parry-Thomas was killed while making a final record-breaking attempt on Pendine Sands in 1927. The Pendine Museum of Speed has, for part of the summer, Parry-Thomas's restored car Babs on display,
