Engineers in the Goddard Space Flight Center's Space Telescope Operations Control Center discuss temperature issues while examining a Hubble model during the final spacewalk of Servicing Mission 4. The model was used to highlight the orientation of Hubble on the Space Shuttle Atlantis in order to better understand how certain parts of the telescope would be exposed to the heat of the Sun.

Joseph Bell, the Chief Engineer on the RMS Titanic was born in Farlam, near Brampton, Cumbria.
This is the service of commemoration that took place on Sunday 15th April 2012 marking 100 years since the loss
First years and training
Firstborn Son of John Bell, Sr. and Margaret Watson, both agricultural entrepreneurs, Joseph Bell grew up in Farlam, a small village belonging to the Rural District of Brampton, in the county of Cumberland; he had three siblings: Jane (1864), Richard (1865) and John jr. (1868).[1] His mother Margaret died shortly after giving birth to her last child.
Joseph Bell, initially, attended as a child a private elementary school in the village of Farlam and, after the death of his mother, he moved with his father and his brothers to Carlisle, between the districts of Edentown and Stanwix; Joseph and the brothers attended Carlisle's Academy William Harrison. In time, the younger brother John decided to migrate to Australia, embarking on the transatlantic SS Great Britain, while the rest of the family remained in Carlisle.
After leaving Carlisle, Joseph Bell moved to Newcastle, doing apprenticeship as an engine editor at Robert Stephenson and Company.[1] In 1885, Bell was hired by the White Star Line and worked on many ships that traded with New Zealand and the United States. In 1891 he was promoted to chief mechanical engineer.
Sister Jane married William Hugh Lowthian in 1886 and spent many years living in Ripley, Derbyshire, where he was a bank manager. It was probably at this time that Joseph met Maud Bates, whom he married in 1893; the couple had 4 children: Frances John, called Frank (1896), Marjorie Clare (1899), Eileen Maud (1901), and Ralph Douglas (1908).
In 1911, Joseph found lodging in Belfast, along with his wife and younger son. The two daughters remained at Ripley, cared for by both a housekeeper and her uncles (Bell's sister and brother-in-law), while the then fifteen-year-old Frank was studying at the Grosvenor College in Carlisle and later an apprenticeship at the Harland and Wolff shipyards.
On the Titanic
After serving on the Olympic, he transferred to the Titanic, where he was given the post of chief engineer. On the night of April 14, shortly before the Titanic hit an iceberg, Bell received an order from the bridge to either stop or reverse the engines (accounts vary), in an attempt to slow the ship. Despite the crew's best efforts, the Titanic could not avoid the immense block of ice. As the ship began to sink, Bell and the engineers remained in the engine room, urging the stokers and firemen to keep the boilers active, allowing the pumps to continue their work and ensuring the electricity remained on as long as possible. According to legend, Bell and his men worked to keep the lights and the power on in order for distress signals to get out and they all died in the bowels of the Titanic. However, according to the historical record, when it became obvious that nothing more could be done, and the flooding was too severe for the pumps to cope, they all came up onto Titanic's open well deck, but by this time all the lifeboats had already left. Greaser Frederick Scott testified to seeing all the engineers gathered at the aft end of the starboard Boat Deck at the end.[2][3] Bell's body was never recovered.
After Bell's death, the wife and the brother-in-law, William Ralph, inherited the farm of Farlam, of which Joseph had become its full owner since 1904, after his father's death; the farm was immediately sold because both Bell's wife and children never went to Farlam.
At the Church of the Holy Faith in Waterloo, near Liverpool, a plate has been affixed to commemorate Bell; an epitaph was also erected in his memory in the small cemetery of Farlam.

so good with putting things together. I started it, and he took over, redo-ing every stone i placed. it's better this way.
Seer/director Michael Reich, wizard/editor Forrest Borie, and white witch/set designer Tamarra Younis tapped their deepest inner goth vibes to film doom-folk artist Chelsea Wolfe. To enjoy this truly spellbinding performance we suggest you turn down the lights, don headphones, relax and get yourself into a gloomy Portishead-meets-Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein state of mind… just let the grime and the glow wash over you.
BIO
California native Chelsea Wolfe has always embodied both the darkness and the light. Although her music is a raw strain of electric folk tinted by black metal and deep blues, it never wallows in despair. Instead, it wraps itself like a cloak around the human experience, encouraging uplift and seeking triumph. Her voice is a haunting call, warm and lingering, and her lyrics acknowledge life’s obscure and melancholy moments in service to the unlikely truths and beauty they so often reveal. It makes sense then that her influences run from Nick Cave and Selda Bagcan, to directors as varied as Ingmar Bergman and John Waters, with nods to the dramatic flair of Antony and Patti Smith.

Joseph Bell, Chief Engineer on the Titanic was born in Farlam, near Brampton Cumbria. He went down with the ship, along with the rest of the engineering crew, whilst keeping the power running until the ship finally broke in two. Here's his gravestone in Farlam St Thomas a Becket Church, it reads:
JOSEPH BELL aged 51 son of the above Margaret Bell, Chief Engineer of the RMS Titanic, who was lost with all his engineering staff in the foundering of that vessel in the Atlantic Ocean after collision with an iceberg April 15th 1912. Great love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends

In game, Norrax has just retaken Claw Island and begun the process of founding The Pact. I personally see it astaking a level in bad ass and decided his armor needed an upgrade. This is the Asuran Tier 2 armor.
Inspired by this Moleskinerie thread, and especially by Bill Chance's recommendation, I ordered a Rothco M-51 Engineer's Field Bag, in black. (More detail on the product is here.)
On the thread I wrote, "I use my very much lived-in fanny pack for knocking about town, but I switch to a backpack for air travel. Although the backpack combines requisite roominess with a carry-on-friendly size, it's a bit too clunky for my tastes. I'll see if I do better with the field bag."
When it came, I took a silver Sharpie to it so that it "matches" my luggage, shown here. It's a bit bulkier with my camera case inside it, but it still closes, and will take its maiden voyage later this week when I go to Readercon.

The Army Roll of Honour 1939-1945 records that Company Quarter-Master-Serjeant 1927350 Albert R. White died whilst serving in the United Kingdom on the 13th May 1941. He was born and resident Norwich.
The British Army Casualty List for the period of his death shows that he Died as a Result of Accident. His unit is shown as “2 A.Tng.Gp”, (probably 2 Army Training Group).
No obvious Soldiers Will or Civil Probate for this man.
Birth and family…………….
The birth of an Albert Robert White, mothers’ maiden name Manthorpe, was registered in the Blofield District of Norfolk in the January to March quarter, (Q1), of 1905.
The 6 year old Albert White, born Reedham, was recorded on the 1911 Census of England & Wales living at River Side, Reedham. This was the household of his parents, Frederick, (aged 48, a Railway Signalman for the Great Eastern Railway, born Aylsham, Norfolk), and Isabella, (aged 46, born Reedham). The couple have been married 26 years and have had six children, of which five were then still alive. As well as Albert their only other child recorded living with them on the night of the census was their 15 year old son, Frederick, a Grocers Porter, born Reedham.
The most likely marriage of his parents occurred in the Blofield District in Q4 of 1884, when a Frederick George White married an Isabella Ellen Manthorpe.
Until September 1911 the quarterly index published by the General Registrars Office did not show information about the mothers’ maiden name. A check of the General Registrars Office Index of Birth for England and Wales 1911 – 1983 shows no likely additional children of Frederick and Isabella.
Marriage and children……………………
The marriage of Albert R White to an Ethel F. Mace was recorded in the Acle District in the October to December quarter, (Q4), of 1940. (Was he possibly a brother-in-law to Stanley?)
There are no obvious births registered for children of this couple.
1939 National Register…………………..
The 1939 National Register was a mini-census which was used to do a stocktake of the nations’ skills, (with the view to making best use of the available resources in the event of war) and as the basis for the issue of ID cards and ration books. After the war it was used as a register for the National Health Service and continued to be used until the system was computerised in the early nineties. Known deaths and change of name were manually captured. It was this part of the register that entered the public domain via a Freedom of Information request. However entries where the person were still believed to be alive at the time the manual system was closed down and if they were less than a 100 years old were officially closed. Layout also leaves much to be desired, with location restricted to the relevant Urban or Rural District Council rather than village, town or city. It also doesn’t set out relationships, so these need to be inferred.
There is a household at Riverside, (so most likely Reedham) in the Blofied and Flegg Rural District Council area, that consisted of:
1: Harry E White, married, born March 1 1892, Railway Signalman
2: Doris Emma White, married, born November 7 1895, Unpaid domestic duties
3: Peter F G White, single, born June 28 1928, school
4: Record officially closed
5: Albert Rbt White, single, born January 25, 1904, Railway Porter.
Although that date of birth makes him a year older than would be implied by his birth registration at the start of 1905, there is a reason for believing these are the details for the correct man. The information obtained by a freedom of information request has been released is a selected part of a much larger document. Depending on how the bound pages have been scanned it can sometimes be possible to make out the first column of the facing page which seems to relate to war service – both civilian as firefighters, ARP, Special Constables, etc, as well as Armed Forces. What can be seen against the entry for Albert is the start of an entry that reads “1927350 – 153 Coy R” – presumably the last bit was 153 Company, Royal Engineers.
On the day…………………………………
The death of the 36 year old Albert R White was recorded in the Bideford District of Devon.
