ALICANTE, Spain, November 18, 2015 (PLD Space PR) — The Spanish Company PLD Space, based in Alicante, announces through the information posted on its website, its plans to launch from Spain two brand-new reusable rockets into space, called ARION 1 and ARION 2.
PLD Space includes a calendar for these first launches of both vehicles, focusing its initial flight operations with a suborbital launch vehicle to test all major critical technologies that are currently under development. The company is working since 2011 to provide commercial launch services from south Europe, by using the INTA-CEDEA launch site, located at the South West of Spain, near Seville.
PLD Space announces this flight schedule after successfully tested in June 2015 the first LOX-Kerosene liquid rocket engine developed in Europe for small launchers in its own test facilities, located at Teruel Airport.
PLD Space propulsion department is now under final design of the new version of the Neton 1 engine that will be tested in early 2016. This engine will serve as single first stage engine for ARION 1 and second stage engine for ARION 2 launch vehicles. In parallel, the company is designing a single shaft LOX-kerosene turbopump for the first stage engine ARION 2.
ARION 1 is a single stage, reusable and cost effective suborbital launch vehicle, capable of sending up to 100 kg of scientific and technological payloads up to 250 km in a parabolic trajectory. ARION 1 is powered by one Liquid Oxygen (LOX) – kerosene, 30 kN thrust engines.
PLD Space's ARION 1 first suborbital test flight is scheduled for second quarter 2018 and will be the first suborbital flight into Space from South Europe since 1990. There are currently 5 confirmed suborbital missions, that will serve to provide commercial suborbital launch opportunities to worldwide customers, launching into Space from Europe and to test all critical technologies (in particular propulsion, structures and avionics) for orbital missions with ARION 2.
ARION 1 brand-new sounding rocket has been designed from scratch by PLD Space to provide low-G flight opportunities for the suborbital market, with particular emphasis on scientific, education and technology research.
ARION 2 is a three stages, partially reusable orbital launch vehicle dedicated for the small satellites market. ARION 2 launch vehicle is capable of launching into orbit up to 150 kg of payload to 400 km Low Earth Orbit (LEO) or 80kg to Sun Synchronous (SSO) in standard mission. This vehicle will be also capable of sending up to 5 kg of payload to moon orbit. PLD Space will offer this small payloads dedicated launch vehicle with two fairing configuration, Classic for standard missions and Enhanced fairing for large volume payloads.
PLD Space's first orbital mission is scheduled for third quarter 2021, trying to put in Low Earth Orbit a 50kg class demonstration satellite and 4 academic cubesats. This first ARION 2 mission will be the first orbital launch from Europe since Orbital Sciences Corporation's Minisat mission launch onboard Pegasus XL in 1997 from Canary Islands.
In addition, the company plans to perform the first moon launch attempt in the second quarter 2023, sending a 5kg class satellite to moon orbit in a scientific mission that will enable space exploration with small payloads.
In order to accomplish successfully the first ARION 2's orbital missions, PLD Space has based this launch vehicle development program using the same technologies that previously have demonstrated flight reliability onboard ARION 1.
PLD Space was founded in 2011 by two Spanish Aerospace & industrial engineers Raúl Torres and Raúl Verdú, to provide commercial and scientific access to space for small payloads in Europe. The company focused its activity developing LOX-Kerosene liquid rocket technologies and today has tested several engines in its propulsion test facilities located at Teruel Airport. These propulsion activities began in June 2013 when the company raised its first round of investment of $1.5M. In the last 3 months, the company has performed 20 successful test firings of this 25kN calorimetric engine version.
As opposed to powerpoint, like e.g. ARCA space. Sorry. Couldn't resist mocking them.

Chasing Dragons – The Boeing Starliner Space Capsule
Home > News > Coverstory
Published: 5 May 2018, 10:30 UTC • Updated: 7 Sep 2018, 13:19 UTC • By:
Although there are some companies fighting for world glory and NASA cash, two of them stand out through sheer power of will and advancements made in their efforts: Boeing and SpaceX. Both are on track to develop both rockets for launch and capsules for transports.
autoevoluton already presented SpaceX's rocket-capsule combo made of the Falcon and Dragon. This time we'll take a closer look at Boeing's Crew Space Transportation CTS-100 Starliner, "a 21st-century space capsule" meant to be fitted on top of the Space Launch System rocket (SLS).
The Starliner capsule is meant, just like the Dragon, to facilitate astronauts' access to the International Space Station and beyond. It will also be capable of transporting supplies and other materials into space.
The Starliner is similar in size to the Orion capsule being built for NASA by another competitor in the field, Lockheed Martin. It has a diameter of 4.56 meters (15.0 ft), bigger than the Apollo used in the early days of space exploration.
Thinking ahead, Boeing has designed the capsule to be compatible with a wider range of launch rockets, including SpaceX's Falcon, the Atlas V, Delta IV and the future Vulcan. For the maiden flight, expected to take place later in the summer of 2018, the capsule will be launched on top of an Atlas V rocket.
The capsule has been designed in such a way that it accommodates a crew of up to seven astronauts. When carrying cargo as well, the number of crew is reduced to five.
Boeing even plans to make some money with these crew launches. Of the five open seats on a cargo mission, four are for NASA astronauts, while the fifth is meant for a paying passenger.
Once is space, the Starliner will be capable of staying there for periods of up to seven months. Time well spent, considering the fact that astronauts will have access to on-board wireless internet and tablet technology.
Because it will be built with no welds, the capsule would be good for at most ten missions before replacing, a first for any U.S. built space capsule.
The reentry of the capsule will be done just as all other previous pods, with speeds reaching as much as 17 times the speed of sound. After the Starliner is back in the Earth sky, parachutes would deploy and slow it down to a speed similar to that of a skyscraper elevator.
From the time it takes off to the time it lands, the Starliner can fly itself including during rendezvous and docking operations.
In what will be a premiere for the American space program, the Starliner will be capable of landing on solid soil rather than on water. This would cut the cost of retrieving the capsule and its occupants.
Landing on the ground is possible thanks to the use of an airbag landing system in addition to the parachutes, which will be used to soften the impact with the ground. Although the impact does seem a bit violent in the videos released by Boeing, the company says the tests it conducted at various speeds and angles have shown the passengers are well protected.
The first launch of the Starliner is planned for the end of this summer, but such an event has been delayed several times until now so take that with a grain of salt. A crewed flight is unofficially scheduled to take place this November, marking the first time in nearly eight years when humans will take off for the ISS from American soil.
Should the first launch missions succeed, Starliner would become one of the capsules used by NASA for its low-orbit missions. As the number of habitable objects put by man in space will increase, Boeing plans to make the capsule available to "a variety of passengers, including international and corporate astronauts, scientists, researchers, educators and even tourists."

Omega Property Management — one of the Twin Cities' oldest homeowner association management companies — recently announced that two recent hires and a promoted team member are now filling key roles as association managers with the Maple Grove-based firm.
"Our recent and sustained growth led to these new opportunities," said Lance Stendal, president of Omega Property Management. "They are testament to the wide range of services we provide to our clients. These three new association managers have the skills and expertise to professionally meet our clients' diverse needs," Stendal said.
One of the new hires is Cody Gorsuch. Throughout his career, Gorsuch has specialized in training and currently enjoys using his teaching skills in group settings with homeowner-clients and association board members.
Another new association manager, Jamie Uitermarkt, has 15 years of customer service experience and is a recent Rasmussen College graduate. She is grateful that her new role as association manager gives her the opportunity to use her training and technology-related skills with her clients.
Alyson Astleford, who recently was promoted from an administrative assistant role at Omega Property Management, has worked for the company since June. She also has experience as a restaurant manager and graduated from Augsburg University with a degree in communication studies.


Candy Cane Rescue was set up by Kerry Elliman, founder of Birmingham Greyhound Protection, based in the UK on 25th of June 2017. The non-profit registered charity's aim is to help provide a safe environment in which greyhounds rescued from the Chinese Meat Trade can be cared for. Also, we send them to the UK, Europe or USA and find them loving homes. Greyhounds are exported from Britain, Ireland and Australia by breeders and owners to race in China and are kept in the most awful conditions. The dogs we help are the unwanted offspring of exported Greyhounds which now flood the meat markets of China.
Many have already spent their entire life racing and should be allowed to retire in their old age. Instead, they are sent to a country which has NO ANIMAL WELFARE LAWS to race or breed.
Greyhounds are also sent to Shanghai Wildlife Park where, locals report, they are fed alive to big cats and other predators and forced to race against Cheetahs for entertainment.
When they have outlived their usefulness many end up in the meat trade to be beaten, hung, boiled or skinned alive.
Kerry felt the organisation needed to be set up when it's namesake 'Candy' was killed by another dog just the day before she was due to fly to the UK to be rehomed. Candy Cane can now ensure that rescued greyhounds in China can be kennelled with other greyhounds safely until they are well enough to travel.
We couldn't make this happen without the brilliant and brave Chinese activists and rescues who we work hand in hand with. Candy Cane Rescue is an organisation of hope. Hope that one day the export of greyhounds and the meat trade of dogs will end.
Thank You Jan & Fundraising for Greyhounds!


SPARTA, Ky. (July 9, 2016) – The freshly repaved Kentucky Speedway had its challenges, but NASCAR XFINITY Series (NXS) driver Ray Black Jr. persevered on Friday night to capture his third Top-20 and second-best NXS finish of the 2016 season. The driver of the No. 07 ScubaLife.com Chevrolet Camaro finished 19th during the ALSCO 300 after overcoming pit road challenges and a late-race spin.
Black and his SS Green Light Racing team had a lot of unknowns coming into the newly repaved 1.5-mile track, but were successfully able to improve the handling of their Camaro throughout the four practice sessions on Thursday. Black went on to qualify 29th for Friday's race.
After the drop of the green flag, Black immediately began making his way up through the field and was in the 24th position when a caution for debris came out. His trip down pit road for four tires, fuel and adjustments was a tough one, as the No. 22 came peeling out of his stall right in front of Black, who was forced to slam on the brakes and overshoot his pit stall in order to avoid getting in an accident.
Black restarted 27th but once again immediately began working his way up through the field with daring four-wide moves before settling in around the 18th position.
With just 25 laps to go, Black moved up high on the track to pass a competitor when he lost the handling of his Chevrolet and spun out on the track. In order to avoid hitting another car, Black kept his car high on the track and scraped the right rear side of his car on the exit of Turn 4. Luckily, the car mostly received only cosmetic damage and Black was able to hold on to his 19th place position for the remainder of the race.
Black and his SS Green Light Racing team will now take on the "Magic Mile" of New Hampshire Motor Speedway next Saturday, July 16.

Undersweep fixations during reading in adults and children

Return sweeps take a reader's fixation from the end of one line to the start of the next. Return sweeps frequently undershoot their target and are followed by a corrective saccade toward the left margin. The pauses prior to corrective saccades are typically considered to be uninvolved in linguistic processing. However, recent findings indicate that these undersweep fixations influence skilled adult readers' subsequent reading pass across the line and provide a preview of line-initial words. The current research examined these effects in children. First, a children's reading corpus analysis revealed that words receiving an undersweep fixation were more likely skipped and received shorter gaze durations during a subsequent pass. Second, a novel eye movement experiment that directly compared adults' and children's eye movements indicated that, during an undersweep fixation, readers very briefly allocate their attention to the fixated word—as indicated by inhibition of return effects during a subsequent pass—prior to deploying attention toward the line-initial word. We argue that prior to the redeployment of attention, readers extract information at the point of fixation that facilitates later encoding and saccade targeting. Given similar patterns of results for adults and children, we conclude that the mechanisms controlling for oculomotor coordination and attention necessary for reading across line boundaries are established from a very early point in reading development.

PAX Aus was a whirlwind. From one day to the next, I was taking care of press for a client, showing Breakaway, meeting new people and reconnecting with old friends – and I even managed to get on a panel about GMing. The panel was named I'm a GM, and So Can You. The quality of people on the panel with me was immense, and I felt grateful to be there.
24 people came through to see us at PAX Collaboratory. For an RPG that takes at least an hour, that's a pretty big deal! I also had my own session times wrong (I missed out on an extra two hours of playtime!), but I am ecstatic I had any time at all. People were so kind to listen to our spiel, let alone set aside an hour of their time to play.
The game didn't slow down with two Charter Authorities (like a GM or Storyteller). If someone walked up to introduce themselves (I met my artist, Josh!), Zac was able to take over smoothly and by the end we were describing situations together. That makes me wonder if there should be a mechanic involved that allows for multiple Charter Authorities.
Zac and I both seemed to be having a lot of fun with players and their creative use of abilities and spells. Some people even started making up their own spells on the fly – which we greatly encouraged. Hearing what people wanted to do and how they wanted to work together to get the most out of their abilities was really a humbling experience.
Here's Zac setting up the display before players came by! The player packs went over very well. Several people remarked that opening one felt like Christmas – there may have been too many goodies inside. They created some clutter on the table, but I think that could be alleviated by giving players something better to hold items in – and not just a well-stuffed envelope.
The one-shot adventure had to be very, very tight with a maximum playtime of an hour and a half. I narrowed my scope to a mystery with 3 clues, 1 non-player character (NPC), and 1 combat round. This gave me a chance to test the dice system, see how players felt about rolling, how abilities were used, and how the pre-generated characters were perceived.
Player feedback for dice, after you wrapped your head around it, felt natural and fun. The characters were interesting (Crabernathy Jones was a huge hit!) and people seemed to have very little issue connecting with their non-humanoid characters. One of the fears around character design is that people will not connect with creatures that don't have faces – the idea is that we naturally put people who do not look like us into the "monster" category. I'm looking to test those waters, since I'm dreadfully tired of Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, and – most of all – Humans. Blech.
Check out our smiling faces. So cherubic! I will likely next year (cross fingers) bring feedback forms with me, instead of just popping my business card into the envelope. Putting in a business card just creates one more step for people to do before they can give me extra feedback, whereas a feedback form will help answer questions that I have immediately. (A business card in the pack probably doesn't hurt, but it doesn't actively help me either.) I also should have been shaking hands more with the people next to me - being in Collaboratory was so last-minute that I rushed to be a part of a community that I thought I had more time to approach. Believe it or not, I'm actually quite shy when it comes to meeting people outside of my day job.
Be that as it may, the time I did get at the table with eyes on Breakaway was a fun learning experience - and a huge opportunity that I'm especially grateful for.

A: I belive the problem here is the generation of excel through ALV.
Adding a first row with the technical fields is not feasible since the <table> field symbol has the mara (for example) structure, and you can't pass string 'MTART' in a char1 type
I think you have 2 options:
Option 1
do not use ALV and generate the excel through other means, so that you can handle string types in your table. For example you can try function ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE
Option 2
try passing R_TOP_OF_LIST parameter to the method cl_salv_ex_util=>factory_result_data_table.
The result will be near what you asked, but maybe it can be acceptable: The technical fields will be added before the names and with a blank line between
DATA gt_components TYPE abap_compdescr_tab.

Disney's 2017 Box Office Breakdown
ZachPerilstein Disney Reporter Disney has been dominating the box office. This year Disney released major films from Pixar, Lucasfilm, and Marvel.
The first Disney film to premiere in 2017 dominated at the box office. Beauty and the Beast currently holds the top spot at the box office for the year of 2017. Star Wars: The Last Jedi still has time left to catch up though. The film tops the charts both domestically and worldwide.
The remake of an animated classic follows Emma Watson as Belle who is imprisoned by a misunderstood prince that is now a Beast (Dan Stevens).
The film made $504 million domestically, and made $1.2 billion worldwide. Making it the top grossing film of 2017.
The classic Disneynature film that comes out every year. Born in China was definitely not a box office pleaser.
The film made $13.8 million domestically, and a total of $25 million worldwide. The budget for the film is not available.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2
The sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy. Follows the ragtag gang and its latest adventures that include being hunted by the Sovereign, and Star-Lord coming to grips with his father.
The film had a budget of $200 million. The film made $389 million domestically, and grossed $863 million worldwide.
The fifth installment in the adventure franchise of Pirates of the Caribbean. Captain Jack Sparrow is down on his luck, and a old nemesis in Captain Salazar reappears.
The film wasn't super popular here in the states. Making only $172 million domestically. The Pirates were saved by the foreign audience with an astounding total of $622 million. The film finished with $794 million worldwide. The film had a $230 million budget. Thanks China for saving another franchise.
Cars 3 was one of the most anticipated films of 2017. Would Lightning McQueen die? The film showcases a new generation of racers, and is former hotshot Lightning McQueen losing a step?
Cars 3 made a $152 million domestically, and it made a total of $383 million worldwide. As a Disney Parks fan this performance most likely wouldn't get us any more Cars attractions. Although the merchandise does sell well. It currently ranks 18 out of 19 Pixar films on the box office scale.
Thor must face off with Hela for the fate of Asgard. The film introduces Valkyrie, Grandmaster, and a talking Hulk.
Thor Ragnarok was made on a $180 million budget. Bringing in $309 million domestically, and $846 million worldwide.
The story follows a 12-year-old boy named Miguel Rivera who is accidentally transported to the land of the dead, where he seeks the help of his deceased musician great-great-grandfather to return him to his family among the living.
Coco did $164 million domestically, and has received a lot of help from the foreign audience. Making $332 million at the foreign box office. The total would become $497 million worldwide. Coco currently ranks 16 out of 19 for Pixar box office performances.
The second chapter in the sequel trilogy. Mark Hamill returns as Luke Skywalker. The First Order has rebuilt since the blow up of Starkiller Base. What is next for Rey and Kylo in their respected journeys?
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is already dominating the box office. Like it was expected to do. Although its total has dropped since The Force Awakens. The Last Jedi is still performing great.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi still has tons of time left to break more records. For now it stands at $395 million domestically, and $815 million worldwide.
Disney was the first studio last year to make $7.6 billion at the box office. In 2017 they reached the $6 billion mark again. I'm expecting Disney to do well in 2018 but my honest prediction is that in 2019 they might have the greatest box office year in the history of the box office. Quick 2019 Disney box office preview: The Lion King, Toy Story 4, Avengers 4, Star Wars: Episode IX, and Frozen 2. That is just what has been announced. Not to mention the possibility of Aladdin, Peter Pan, and Mulan to the slate. All three have potential to be moneymakers.
Another note to consider is that 2017 Disney went with a smaller slate then 2016 which obviously effects the numbers. Disney still won the box office in 2017.

Two runners of the boys cross country team finishing their warmup. Members like these are going to have to work really hard considering the seniors are gone.
With the title of conference champions, regional champions, and being 11th in the state, it's easy to see that the Boys Cross Country team is a strong one.
The team trains nearly everyday and in nearly any weather and it is strong in many aspects, according to Lukas Troutman, senior captain. But, an aspect that stood out from the rest was their class of 2018 seniors.
Although suffering the loss of the seniors definitely had an impact on the team, according to Troutman, they're already working on filling that hole. One way was by promoting training during the off season. This allows all members of the team to attend and improve, so they're ready for the real season.
This year, the team is also trying to promote unity, according to Troutman. The idea of getting rid of all the little cliques throughout the team is one they really want to pursue. Getting rid of the hierarchy will lead to a deeper connection throughout the team and therefore a stronger team.
Even though the team worked hard during the off-season, the training program didn't take a shift. There really was no need, since workouts are specialized for each member of the team.
Even with the loss of the seniors, the team still feels like they'll be okay. They know they'll just have to continue working hard.

Welcome to the Interviews site. Want more?
Bill Von Novak, BASE jumper.
Bill Von Novak, an experienced skydiver, recently turned to BASE jumping for it's narrower margin of error. It's a thrill he can't get over. To date, he's had 1800 skydives and 15 bridge jumps.
People have often questioned his sanity, and when asked why he keeps BASE jumping, Von Novak admits not having a good answer.
He's a respected authority for Bridge Day '98, a BASE jumping event at the new River Gorge Bridge in Virginia, US. This bridge stands well over 900 feet with no understructure to hinder flight paths.
WHAT WAS YOUR MOST EXCELLENT JUMP?
Really, there are so many that stand out. Three years ago, I jumped from a 250-foot bridge over a creek in West Virginia. It was just excellent. There were eight of us buddies, off for some fun before the 'serious' jumping began. There were some first-timers, and they all did well. Their enthusiasm was really contagious. We ended up getting chased off (it was a semi-legal site), which didn't dampen our spirits one bit.
HOW CLOSE HAVE YOU COME TO KILLING YOURSELF?
Well, once in San Diego I jumped my lowest -- from a 230-foot crane. I freefell it, which was a foolish mistake. I got open by 100 feet, which is barely enough time to prepare for impact. It was probably my stupidest jump.
One of my most important rules is "one new thing at a time". I don't change everything in one jump. I have yet to do a cliff jump, for example, but when I do, I'll make sure that I change nothing from my previous jumps, except the location. Surprises are not good when you're BASE jumping.
On my last bridge jump I used a Manta main parachute (large, 288 square foot canopy) with a talon rig. I exited stowed – that means my pilot chute was in a pouch rather than in my hand. I free-fell for about four seconds, then reached back, grabbed my pilot chute and tossed it out. That small chute catches air and pulls the main parachute off my back. It took about one second to open, and I then had 20-30 seconds of parachute flight before I landed next to the river on a little tiny beach.
WHAT'S YOUR MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY GEAR?
Yeah, landing areas are often small, rocky and full of trees.
It seemed like such a natural dream to want to fulfill. Ever since I was eight I've wanted to step off a building, and just fly away. Now I can.


The summer in Scottsdale can be hot. Like, don't go outside, don't look outside, don't think about the outside hot. Yet, a short trip north, south, or east tends to kill the temperature at least 10 degrees, and provides an incredible landscape unlike the barren desert most associate with Arizona. That's where Sedona comes into play, just about 2.5 hours north, it has been a fairly regular getaway for us, providing incredible scenery, and just an overall awesome vibe.
A while back, I had the pleasure of photographing my friend David's home in Sedona for his Airbnb listing, and spent the weekend there. In addition to being a much needed getaway, it was a great excuse to hike and feature some of the newest Agstract Apparel designs we launched this month.
My parents won't even touch Arizona during the summer, I guessed California spoiled us a bit with summer highs of 80. We were able to convince them to join us on this trip, and despite being above 90 degrees most of the time, they pushed through.
One of the best parts about the trip was the house. Owned and operated by a great friend (and recent groomsman) David. The house backs up to a protected forest, which allowed us to hike freely, and take many of the photos in this post. Location aside, when we weren't outdoors, we were being lazy indoors. I would say that was actually the majority of the trip. And it was great.
Above is one of the photos I took of the home when I shot it originally, for the entire library of photos and information on booking visit Sedona Home.

Q: Create a score column in pandas whose value depends on the percentile of another column I have the following dataframe:
User_ID Game_ID votes
1         11    1040
1         11    nan
1         22    1101
1         11    540
1         33    nan
2         33    nan
2         33    290
2         33    nan

Based on the percentile of the values in the column votes, a new column needs to be created, per the following rules:

If the "votes" value is >= 75th percentile assign a score of 2
If >=25th percentile assign a score of 1
If <25th percentile assign a score of 0.

A: Use pd.qcut:
df['score'] = pd.qcut(df['votes'].astype(float), [0, 0.25, 0.75, 1.0]).cat.codes
print(df)

Output (nan corresponds to -1):
0    1
1   -1
2    2
3    1
4   -1
5   -1
6    0
7   -1
dtype: int8

A: You can get the percentiles by calling describe and use list comprehension:
percentiles = df.votes.describe()
df['scores'] = [2 if x >= percentiles['75%'] else (0 if x < percentiles['25%'] else 1) for x in df.votes]

Q: How to read data from file as String or Bytes from in swift 5 using readData function i am trying to read content of the file using readData function .I am able to read data from the file currently it is displaying size of content read from file but i want actual content of the file .
Code using for reading file
var fileHandle = FileHandle(forReadingAtPath: FullFileName as String)
var data = fileHandle?.readData(ofLength: 10)
var availabledata = fileHandle!.availableData
print("data")
print(data)
print("availabledata")
print(availabledata)

Output
data
Optional(10 bytes)
availabledata
11 bytes

Q1. How can i print actual content read from the file ?
please suggest method related to the readData function only .

A:
How can i print actual content read from the file ? please suggest method related to the readData function only .

The question isn't really tied to readData – this function returns Data?, an optional value. When you print this you will get Option(x bytes) where the x bytes is the .description of the value.
If you wish to print the byte values you need to write something to produce your desired format. For example:
print(data?.map { $0 })

will print the data as an array of UInt8. If you wish to format each byte differently, say as hex, change the closure to produce the format you wish – each byte gets passed to the closure as a UInt8 value.
This is far from the only way to do it, you just need to wrote what you need as Data itself doesn't provide a description that meets your needs.

Hastings es un barrio de Calcuta Central en el Distrito de Calcuta en el estado indio de Bengala Occidental.

Historia

Hastings es un área en el centro de Calcuta entre el Maidan y el río Hooghly. El área lleva el nombre de Warren Hastings, quien fue el primer gobernador general de Bengala y luego de toda la India desde 1772 hasta 1785.

El área de Hastings fue inicialmente un cementerio musulmán, luego se convirtió en "Coolie Bazar" para los trabajadores que construyeron Fort William y finalmente se convirtió en un municipio para la gente del departamento de Artillería y Comisariado.

Esta era originalmente el área militar de la ciudad y quedan varios puntos de referencia, incluidos Fort William, el Lascar War Memorial y el Ordnance Club, así como el hipódromo.

En 1888, una de las 25 casas de la sección de policía recién organizadas estaba ubicada en Hastings.

Aquí también es donde una de las principales vías de la ciudad desemboca en Vidyasagar Setu, el impresionante puente colgante que cruza el río Hooghly, que se completó en 1992.
