The launch of our most recent project. This was a test flight of the avionics and recovery (aka: parachutes) sections of a rocket we are designing/building. While this one was powered by a commercial solid rocket motor (AMW M1900 BB), our actual vehicle will be powered by a hydrogen peroxide/HTPB hybrid rocket engine of our own design. This rocket is approximately 6 inches in diameter and 17 feet long (the actual hybrid will be in the area of 20 feet long).
We launched within one minute of our launch window closing and recovered the vehicle in excellent condition. Mission: Success.
Oh, check out how much dirt this rocket kicked up...it left a crater under it that was about a foot-and-a-half deep!

London Ambulance Service is today (1 May) launching a campaign to get 1,000 extra defibrillators in shops, businesses and gyms across the capital to save more lives.
The campaign is being launched with Marks & Spencer which is fitting defibrillators in its 86 London stores.
Ex-footballer Fabrice Muamba, who was famously shocked back to life with a defibrillator after going into cardiac arrest during a football match, is attending the launch event and lending his support to the campaign.
London Ambulance Service Chairman Richard Hunt CBE, said: “If you have a cardiac arrest, your heart stops beating and you are clinically dead. Every second counts which is why we want more defibrillators in public places to help us save more lives in London.”
Around 28 per cent of people survive a cardiac arrest in a public place, but where there is a defibrillator and someone trained to use it, the chance of survival can increase to 80 per cent.
Fabrice said: “If it wasn’t for a defibrillator I wouldn’t be here today.
“I was lucky I had my cardiac arrest in the right place with the best medics around to help me. I want everyone who goes into cardiac arrest to have the same chance as me and that’s why I’m supporting the London Ambulance Service campaign to get more defibrillators in public places.”
By placing defibrillators in public places and training people to use them as well as carrying out CPR, more lives could be saved.
Keith Davis, Fire, Health and Safety Manager at Marks & Spencer, said: “Our position at the heart of community high streets and large footfall shopping destinations means that our stores are perfect venues to host defibrillators.They save lives and we know that having one in every London store will save a life in an M&S store in the future.
"We’re training over 1,000 first aiders to use them in our stores and with the support of the London Ambulance Service we are making shopping in London safer than ever before.”
M&S will roll out the defibrillators across London and its partner Ashbury Training will train over 1,000 customer assistants over the next three months.
Defibrillators can be used by members of the public and they are safe and shockingly easy to use with training.
Richard said: “Don’t leave it too late to do the right thing. Every shop, gym, hotel and office in London should have a defibrillator so they’re ready to save a life in London.

Falcon 9 launched from Vandenberg AFB. I keep forgetting how bright the flames are and overexpose them. Faint Milky Way over the launch pad, Mars just above and to the right of the antennas.
We had a terrific and very fun launch evening for Justin Davies, and his wonderful new children's novel, Haarville. We had a lot of very happy young readers in attendance who enjoyed the evening, plus a special cake too (what event is not improved by adding cake???). Justin also told the audience about some of his inspirations, including how some of the small coastal towns around Fife influenced his descriptions of his imaginary town, Haarville. You can follow Justin on his Twitter - twitter.com/flyingscribbler

On November 26, the BforKai campaign officially launched in the Fountain Learning Commons.
BforKai honours Acadia student Kai Matthews, who tragically and suddenly passed away from meningitis B, BforKai. Established by his family, BforKai's purpose is to help educate people about meningitis B, increase vaccination rates, and provide financial assistance to students who want the vaccine, but cannot afford it.
Chief Inspector Laura Marler outside the Safe Haven venue.
A new initiative to provide support to people in need on a night out has been launched in Manchester city centre.
The Safe Haven has been developed by Greater Manchester Police, Manchester City Council, Greater Manchester’s Police and Crime Commissioner and other partners.
Based at the Nexus Art Café at Dale Street it is designed to reduce the demand on frontline services by assisting those people who become vulnerable and require the support of others to ensure they are safe and can get home after being out and about in the city following a night out.
It is supported by regular officers, special constables, Manchester Street Angels and the LGBT Foundation Village Angels. The centre will act as a place of safety and a hub for police to provide care, advice and assistance for anyone who attends. Water and hot drinks will be provided and visitors to the café will receive support to help them arrange to get home.
Chief Inspector Laura Marler who is coordinating the Safe Haven scheme said: “Weekend nights in the city centre is a busy time for all partners including police. This initiative is to ensure our most vulnerable members of the community are protected, we can reduce the demand on our frontline services and the number of incidents of violent crime and ensure those visiting the city can enjoy their night safely.”
Councillor Pat Karney, Manchester city centre spokesman, said: “Manchester is famous for its nightlife and tens of thousands of people come into the city centre every weekend to experience enjoyable and safe nights out. However, there will always be people who are feeling vulnerable in any large city centre on a Friday and Saturday night and the Safe Haven scheme will provide somewhere they can go without having to approach the emergency services directly.”
Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Jim Battle said: “This safe haven will enhance the valuable work done by our emergency services, door staff and army of volunteers from the LGBT Foundation Village Angels, Manchester Street Angels who are out every weekend to keep people safe in our city centre.
“The safe haven will provide a place for people to chill out, perhaps recharge their phone, get support and ultimately get home safely.
“It will help to make sure that our police are freed up to keep our city’s streets safe, but most importantly it will mean people who could fall victim to crime are able to keep out of harm’s way.
“I hope this scheme is a success as it demonstrates how the emergency services, venues, charities and volunteers are all working together to make our city a fantastic place.”

UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner launches the UNEP Live platform at the Group on Earth Observations summit in Geneva.
From January 13 to 17, 2014 Geneva’s CICG center will be the site of a major international conference and exhibit aimed at improving access to critical information on the global environment. The GEO-X Plenary and Geneva Ministerial Summit brings together experts from 90 governments and nearly 70 organizations and will include an exhibit of cutting edge technology and more than 30 forums and panel discussions, many open to the general public. Topics will include Agriculture and Food Security, Measuring Biodiversity, Disaster Risk Reduction, Cholera Early Warning, Ocean Acidification, UNEP Live!, and Water Security. The summit will be presided over by GEO’s four co-chairs: China, the European Commission, South Africa and the United States. The United States will be represented at GEO-X by a high level multiagency delegation.
For nearly a decade, the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) has been driving the interoperability of thousands of individual space-based, airborne and in situ Earth observations around the world. Often these separate systems yield just snapshot assessments, leading to critical gaps in scientific understanding. GEO is addressing such gaps by providing easy, open access to organized observations that enable an increasingly integrated view of our changing Earth. Summit participants will look at how the international community can increase the sustainability and quality of observation networks and make the maximum possible volume of data freely accessible. For sound science to shape sound policy, leaders and other decision-makers require this fuller picture as an indispensable foundation of environmental decision-making.

Renault 21 Turbo Quandra (1986-95) Engine 1995cc S4 MPI Turbo Production 2,096,000 (all models Worldwide)
Registration Number H 887 KBH
RENAULT SET

The Renault 21 was launched as a large family car, the car was also sold in North America as the Renault Medalion by AMC and later by Jeep-Eagle as the Eagle Medalion.
he Renault 21 sedan was launched in early 1986 as the successor to the successful Renault 18, and this was followed a few months later by the seven-seater station wagon, the R21 Nevada, marketed as the Savanna in the United Kingdom.
Unusually the Renault 21 was offered with disparate engine configurations, the 1.7 litre version featured an 'east-west' (transversely) mounted engine, but Renault had no gearbox suitable for a more powerful transverse engine: accordingly, faster versions featured longitudinally mounted (north south) engines. The two versions featured (barely perceptibly) different wheel bases: the engines were all relatively compact four-cylinder units and the engine bay was large enough to accept either configuration without reducing passenger space. However, at a time when production technologies were relatively inflexible, the need to assemble differently did adversely affect profits.
The model was launched in 1986 and had a major revamp in 1989 to bring it into line with the newly launched Renault 25 and a liftback body style was also launched.
The 2 litre TXi and sporty Turbo version was also available with the four-wheel-drive Quadra transmission, and was capable of 227 km/h (141 mph)

20 February 2014. El Fasher: UNAMID troops from Rwanda attend the official launch of Kwibuka at the UNAMID headquarters in El Fasher. Kwibuka means ‘remember’ in Kinyarwanda, Rwanda’s language. It is used to describe the annual commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
Over one hundred of history’s darkest days, more than one million Rwandans perished in the genocide. 2014 marks the twentieth commemoration of those events, and is an important occasion to remember the lives that were lost, show solidarity with survivors and unite to ensure it never happens again – in Rwanda or elsewhere.
