Skegness
Skegness is a seaside town on the Lincolnshire coast of the North Sea. The town is 43 miles (69 km) east of Lincoln and 22 miles (35 km) north-east of Boston.
The original Skegness was situated farther east at the mouth of The Wash. Its Norse name refers to a headland which sat near the settlement. By the 14th. century, it was a locally important port for coastal trade. The natural sea defences which protected the harbour eroded in the later Middle Ages, and it was lost to the sea after a storm in the 1520's.
Rebuilt along the new shoreline, early modern Skegness was a small fishing and farming village, but from the late 18th. century members of the local gentry visited for holidays. The arrival of the railways in 1873 transformed it into a popular seaside resort.
This was the intention of the 9th. Earl of Scarborough, who owned most of the land in the vicinity; he built the infrastructure of the town and laid out plots, which he leased to speculative developers.
This new Skegness quickly became a popular destination for holiday-makers and day trippers from the East Midlands factory towns. By the interwar years the town was established as one of the most popular seaside resorts in Britain. The layout of the modern seafront dates to this time, and holiday camps were built around the town, including the first Butlin's holiday resort which opened in Ingoldmells in 1936.
The package holiday abroad became an increasingly popular and affordable option for many British holiday-makers during the 1970's. This trend, combined with declining industrial employment in the East Midlands, served to harm Skegness's visitor economy in the late 20th. century.
Nevertheless, the resort retains a loyal visitor base, and has increasingly attracted people visiting for a short holiday alongside their trip abroad. Tourism increased following the recession of 2007–09 owing to the resort's affordability. In 2011, the town was England's fourth most popular holiday destination for UK residents, and in 2015 it received over 1.4 million visitors.
Skegness has a reputation as a traditional English seaside resort owing to its long, sandy beach and seafront attractions which include amusement arcades, eateries, Botton's fairground, the pier, nightclubs and bars.
Other visitor attractions include Natureland Seal Sanctuary, a museum, an aquarium, a heritage railway, an annual carnival, a yearly arts festival, and Gibraltar Point nature reserve to the south of the town.
Despite the arrival of several manufacturing firms since the 1950's and Skegness's prominence as a local commercial centre, the tourism industry remains very important for the town's economy and employment. But tourism's low wages and seasonal nature, along with the town's aging population, have contributed towards high levels of relative deprivation among the resident population.
The town is home to a police station, a magistrates' court and a lifeboat station.

Information is quoted from the Historic Environment Record for H BUILDING, Malvern, UK
The building, having military purposes and designated locally as H building, sits on a former Government Research site in Malvern, Worcestershire at Grid Ref SO 786 447. This site was the home of the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) from 1946. It has been owned by QinetiQ since 2001 and is in the process (October 2017 to February 2018) of being sold for redevelopment.
This unique building has at its heart a ‘Rotor’ bunker with attached buildings to house radar screens and operators as well as plant such as emergency generators. Twenty nine Rotor operational underground bunkers were built in great urgency around Britain to modernise the national air defence network, following the Soviet nuclear test in 1949. Two factors make H building’s construction and purpose unique; this prototype is the only Rotor bunker built above ground and it was the home to National Air Defence government research for 30 years.This example of a ROTOR bunker is unique instead of being buried, it was built above ground to save time and expense, as it was not required to be below ground for its research purpose.
H Building was the prototype version of the Rotor project R4 Sector Operations Centre air defence bunkers. Construction began in August 1952 with great urgency - work went on 24 hours a day under arc lights. The main bunker is constructed from cross bonded engineering bricks to
form walls more than 2 feet thick in a rectangle approximately 65ft x 50ft. The two internal floors are suspended from the ceiling. The original surrounding buildings comprise, two radar control and operator rooms, offices and machine plant.
The building was in generally good order and complete. The internal layout of the bunker remains as originally designed. The internal surfaces and services have been maintained and modernised over the 55 years since its construction (Figure 3). The first floor has been closed over.
There are some later external building additions around the periphery to provide additional accommodation.
In parts of the building the suspended floor remains, with 1950s vintage fittings beneath such as patch panels and ventilation ducts.
The building has been empty since the Defence Science & Technology Laboratories [Dstl] moved out in October 2008
As lead for radar research, RRE was responsible for the design of both the replacement radars for the Chain Home radars and the command and control systems for UK National Air Defence.
Project Rotor was based around the Type 80 radar and Type 13 height finder. The first prototype type 80 was built at Malvern in 1953 code named Green Garlic. Live radar feeds against aircraft sorties, were fed into the building to carry out trials of new methods plotting and reporting air activity
A major upgrade of the UK radar network was planned in the late 1950s – Project ‘Linesman’ (military) / ‘Mediator’ (civil) – based around Type 84 / 85 primary radars and the HF200 height finder. A prototype type 85 radar (Blue Yeoman) was built adjacent to H Building in 1959. live radar returns were piped into H Building.
Subsequently a scheme to combine the military and civil radar networks was proposed. The building supported the research for the fully computerised air defence scheme known as Linesman, developed in the 1960s, and a more integrated and flexible system (United Kingdom Air Defence Ground Environment or UKADGE) in the 1970s.
The building was then used for various research purposes until the government relinquished the main site to QinetiQ in 2001. Government scientists continued to use the building until 2008. Throughout its life access was strictly controlled by a dedicated pass sytem.
Notable civil spin-offs from the research in this building include the invention of touch screens and the whole UK Civil Air Traffic Control system which set the standard for Europe.

The Metaphysical Plot Device delivers a cabinet-within-a-cabinet solution, providing necessary relief from the chaotic creativity purveyed by other wonderboxen. Justin Hall invites you to understand less by viewing the story of the MPD construction, which details how a video loop played off a Raspberry Pi through an LCD screen fronted by painted dollhouse cabinets could emerge from pataphysical efforts to upend our understanding of entertainment and enlightenment. As other wonderboxen wiggle here in nested cabinets, the context for our current reality becomes clear: the Pataphysical Slot Machine is actually part of the Metaphysical Plot Device. We will unveil this wonderbox as part of our Pataphysical Slot Machine exhibit at the Mill Valley Library on October 2, 2015. Learn more at htttp://pataphysics.us
Two millet plots that have both received one night’s worth of cattle manure, either without urine (left hand plot) or including the urine (right hand plot). Does this image show a treatment effect, a case of pre-existing soil variability, or a combination of the two?
A case of a clear urine effect, or a case of a natural fertility gradient, with fertility gradually increasing from left to right, related to the presence of an old termite mound just off-picture on the right? Researchers should investigate both alternatives!

Just after drawing plot S17 from the pot of dirt with pin pong balls. Merri Corner community garden.
Plot size is S for small, 6m squared, the yearly cost is $90, but this is likely to be reduced. This in not just a plot for growing vegies but a link to the local community. They had a wonderfull allocation ceremony and even gave a handover and acceptance speech, like a wedding :-)

Scatter Plots show the relationship among two variables by displaying data points on a two-dimensional graph. The variable that might be measured an explanatory variable is plotted on the x axis, and the reply variable is plotted on the y axis.Scatter plots are especially helpful when there is a large number of a data point and provides relationship between two variables
