10 Eye-Opening Facts About Space Junk
Marcus Lowth
Imagine you're in a car, speeding along with no brakes or any ability to turn. Now imagine tons of other drivers in the same circumstances. It's only a matter of time before a collision happens. That's essentially what awaits us if we do not combat the ever-growing amount of junk floating in orbit of our planet. Here are ten rather sobering facts about space junk.
10 The US Air Force Catalogues And Tracks Space Junk

Since the early 1980s, the US Air Force has maintained a dedicated team that logs and tracks as much space debris as possible. Over 20,000 individual items at least the size of a small ball are being tracked as well as about 500,000 marble-sized pieces of debris—and that number looks likely to increase.
Each of these items is traveling around the Earth at around 28,000 kilometers per hour (17,500 mph). Should any of them strike another item—be it more space debris, a "live" satellite, or even the International Space Station—the consequences would be tragic. Even a single speck of paint (which is too small to track) hurtling around the planet can cause considerable damage to spacecraft or kill an astronaut during a space walk.
9 'Agreement' For Returning Space Junk To Earth
One way to deal with the space junk is to send it back to Earth, burning it up in the atmosphere during reentry. How exactly this will be put into practice is not yet fully agreed upon, but it's accepted as a very viable option for cleaning up some of the debris field currently in orbit.
It was noted that when WT1190F (the log number of a particular piece of debris) was predicted to land in the Indian Ocean—after once being in an orbit as far out as the Moon—that it was possible to monitor and then predict an object's movements. The landing of WT1190F also allowed researchers to observe the effects of space debris reentering the atmosphere as well as to test their emergency plans for any gigantic piece of space junk suddenly heading our way.
8 Space Junk Forced The ISS To Move Three Times In 2014
Bearing in mind that even a modest change of position takes days to complete, the International Space Station (ISS) had to be moved three times in 2014 in order to avoid a potentially catastrophic and deadly collision. What's more, 2014 was not a particularly unusual year in terms of avoiding such collisions. Debris is constantly monitored from Earth and aboard the ISS, with changes in orbit occurring relatively regularly.
There are times, however, when debris is noticed too late for the ISS to be moved in time. In these tense situations, all astronauts have to make their way to emergency shelter areas and sit out the impact.
7 Danger To Critically Important Satellites (And More)
Should a satellite be hit by a piece of space debris, it would either be severely damaged or completely destroyed. Should that happen to even just a few major satellites, then life here on Earth would be drastically affected. Live television broadcasts, the Internet, GPS, and your mobile phone could be affected.
As cosmetic as those changes may be, there is also the very real and grim possibility that such destruction of satellites could lead to conflicts between nations. In an already suspicious world, an innocent accident like a satellite being struck by space debris could be mistaken for an attack on a country's defense capabilities, which in turn may cause retaliatory action. Such predictions bear grim similarities to the days of the Cold War.
6 Remote-Controlled Astronaut

The European Space Agency is hoping to deploy a piece of technology that would make life for astronauts a little less dangerous in terms of having to operate in space debris. A remote-controlled robot called "Justin" would perform space walks in place of live astronauts, removing the possibility of humans being struck by debris.
The robot astronaut would be controlled from the ESA's Columbus laboratory aboard the International Space Station by an operator wearing an exoskeleton glove. Electronic sensors then reproduce the sensation of touch, so the operator would feel as though he is touching what Justin is.
5 Cube Satellites Create Extra Problems
It is said that "cube" or "box" satellites (aka "cubesats") can almost be thrown into orbit and are almost as easy to take on routine supply missions to the International Space Station as a piece of luggage. They are also, however, uncontrollable. As soon as one is put into orbit, thrown or otherwise, it essentially becomes a piece of space debris that is just as likely to crash into something as a piece of a spent rocket booster.
The uncontrollable nature of cubesats isn't just an unfortunate by-product; it's estimated that one fifth of all of cubesats actually violate international orbit disposal guidelines and therefore shouldn't have been launched in the first place. While there have been no known collisions involving cubesats, the rate at which they are being put into orbit in their current form rapidly increases the likelihood of it happening in the near future.
4 Every Collision Increases The Problem 100-Fold

Although there have been very few collisions with active satellites or spacecraft, even space debris hitting other space debris can have a severe impact. It is said that each collision of space junk increases the problem 100-fold, as the impact turns two previously tracked pieces of debris into hundreds of new pieces that have to be reidentified and tracked. And the smaller those pieces are, the more difficult (or impossible) they are to locate.
This is essentially the main problem for those looking to combat the problem of space junk—that dead, orbiting debris is not under any form of control. While you can move a shuttle or a satellite out of the way, you can't do the same for a piece of debris about to be impacted by another.
3 The Space Fence Project

Although the Space Fence program wont be able to reduce the amount of space debris in orbit, it will be able to assist the US Air Force in better tracking what is already out there. The Space Fence is a digital radar system that extends a virtual fence around the planet and will have the ability to log debris as small as 10 centimeters (4 in), using optical sensors and a much higher wavelength frequency than is currently used
The ability to track much smaller objects in addition to the larger ones will leave scientists much better able to predict the movements of such objects in the future as well as to direct astronauts and satellites out of harm's way with more notice. It's a small step in the right direction no doubt, but it's very much a stepping stone to where we need to be before the problem is under control.
2 Whatever Action Is Taken, The Financial Cost Will Be Huge
There are countless ideas and theories on how best to combat space debris, ranging from the very plausible to the more adventurous. The one thing that connects them, however, is that whatever action is decided upon, the financial cost will be huge. This only places more pressure on the situation, given that a mistake could not only not eradicate the effort, but would also be a massive waste of public money.
Speaking of that vast array of ideas to solve the problem, one particular proposed method is to "harpoon" larger pieces of space junk and then drag them to a desired location. Another was to deploy a huge "space net" that would gather space debris and then place it on a course that would send it into outer space or back to Earth to burn up in the atmosphere. There have also been various suggestions of using lasers to "nudge" objects off course and out of orbit.
Many private companies have also stepped up to the cosmic plate with suggestions on how to combat the problem, which is a welcome relief, as private companies would bring private money. They'd have the whole world as a stage upon which to show off (and then rightly or wrongly profit from) their groundbreaking technology.
1 In A Matter Of Centuries, We Will Be Trapped On Earth By Space Junk

If no way is found to stem the ever-growing amount of dead, man-made items floating around our planet, then it is predicted that in only a few hundred years, we will essentially be trapped on Earth, with space missions being impossible to launch due to almost certain collision and loss of life. There is also the unknown effect that an increased amount of space debris might have on Earth and future life on the planet. Might there be the real possibility of a large piece of space junk reentering the atmosphere and not burning up, becoming a meteor hurtling toward the ground?
The amount of gadgets and even life-saving devices utilized by many people on Earth today as a by-product of space exploration is vast. Should we ever stop pushing to explore space simply because it is no longer a possibility, how many future developments might humanity miss out on?

Did you know Scarlett Moffatt was on a different reality TV show before Gogglebox?
December 02, 2016 - 08:53 GMT Emmy Griffiths Scarlett was a contestant on MTV's Beauty School Cop Outs! Find out about her time on the show
Although Scarlett Moffatt is best known for her hilarious one-liners on Gogglebox and now her brilliant quick wit on I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, she was originally part of MTV's reality show Beauty School Cop Out, a reality TV show where a group live in a house together while learning how to become beauticians.
During her time on the show, which aired in 2013, Scarlett learned how to become a beauty whizz, not without a fair share of drama! In one scene, the group are playing a drinking game where she kissed Jeremy McConnell, who went on to appear in Celebrity Big Brother 2016.
Scarlett hoped to be a beautician
She also was involved in an argument after fellow beauty trainee Tara accused her of "playing the victim", leading the reality show star to be restrained by Jeremy before she retaliated. She also enjoyed a blossoming romance with fellow contestant Richard, telling the camera she had a "soft spot" for him. "He's really cute isn't he?" she said. "You just want to hug him and put him in your pocket." Richard then tells the camera: "If nothing better comes along, at least I've bagged Scarlett!" The couple then get together later in the show, sharing a kiss on the sofa after Scarlett admits she doesn't know whether they are just friends or if he likes her.
Scarlett shared a smooch on the show
Although Scarlett looks virtually unrecognisable in her appearance in the show back in 2013, in a hilarious clip the then 22-year-old proved that she always had her trademark great sense of humour after the group are informed that they have to get to work immediately after just meeting each other. She said: "Whoa! Jamilla! We're off to work? I've had five Bucks Fizz mate! We don't even know each other's names!" Later, she couldn't help but giggle as they were informed of their jobs for the day, joking: "I know it's our first day and we're meant to be professional but these geezer's glasses man are putting us right off!"

U.S. District Court Chief Judge William E. Smith gave Doyle 24 months for passing some $74 million in bogus checks between 20 accounts in a check-kiting scheme. On a single day in February 2016, as the scheme was about to collapse, he deposited 31 worthless checks totaling $300,000.
Doyle, 47, of Pawtucket, gave a lengthy statement before being sentenced in which he apologized to his family, his constituents and the government. He blamed his behavior on alcohol and drug abuse but asserted that it was a former chief financial officer at one of two medical-equipment companies — Doyle Respiratory, LLC and Doyle Sleep Solutions, LLC — who began the practice of "floating" checks before resigning.
He credited federal agents with saving his life when they came to his door in May 2017. Since then, he has remained on the path of sobriety, reengaging with his wife, Jackie, and his son and daughter, 12 and 11, respectively. He said he is more at peace than he's been in 14 years.
"It's inconceivable that the defendant wasn't banking on the fact that no one was going to call him on it," she said as U.S. Attorney Aaron Weisman observed.
Doyle, the son of the late, longtime Pawtucket Mayor James Doyle, resigned as a state senator Jan. 9, 2018, citing ongoing problems with alcohol. He was first elected to represent Senate District 8 in 2004.
Pine said Doyle will "wrap up his affairs" related to his businesses before surrendering April 30.


Three postal workers accept been answerable with burglary allowance cards from mail at a processing base at the Greater Roer International Airport.
Chansen R. Diaz, 30, Cordell L. James, 28, and Michael R. Harris, 31, were arrested and answerable with cabal and annexation of mail.
The defendants fabricated an antecedent actualization in federal cloister Thursday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Marian W. Payson and were appear awaiting added proceedings.

Diaz and James formed for a arrangement aggregation at the airport that processes mail for air transportation. The mail comes to the ability in closed accoutrements or boxes, and workers should not accept any absolute acquaintance with items actuality mailed.
One of those envelopes allegedly independent a $100 Amazon allowance agenda advised for a almsman in Arizona. Board say it was acclimated to accomplish a acquirement that was alien to Michael Harris, who aggregate a abode with James.

Start Dating
Dating in the 90s and Now
IT'S JUST LUNCH
"Unbelievable" comes on the radio as you scramble to grab your cassette tape to record the chart-topper. Dances with Wolves is coming soon to VHS, parachute pants and platform shoes are high fashion, and life is simple. The year is 1991.
Today, the 90s are making a comeback in a big way – we're looking at you, high-rise, acid wash denim and reboots of popular sitcoms and movies. And, while a lot has changed in 30 years, there's something to be said for 'the good old days'. The days before internet sleuthing. The days before overanalyzing your own personality and appearance. The days before researching 'best dating app one-liners' to seem witty and charming to a swiping stranger.
It almost makes you wish dating today was a little more like the 90s. Here are a few things we wish would come back to the 2021 dating scene.
Today, a quick Google search of your date's name is customary to find out what the two of you have in common and identify red flags. Sounds innocent enough, but this research often creates preconceived notions or expectations about the other person before even meeting, which can be difficult to overcome.
In the 90s, you learned about the other person through questions, conversation, and body language during a first date. It was up to you to find a common connection – no social media shortcuts!
Now, many singles get stuck in the endless messaging phase – always communicating with a potential partner, yet still waiting for that first or second date that never comes to fruition.
Decades ago, before instant messaging, if you liked someone you went on real, in-person dates and spent your time talking on the phone until your next outing together.
One of the most dreaded parts of a break up today is the inevitable online status change – single. You might as well shout it from the virtual rooftops.
Back then, the only way for someone to know if your relationship fizzled out would be for you to tell them. Who would have known breaking up in private would be such a luxury?
Regardless of the decade, we believe the only way to discover if there is chemistry with someone is through a real, face-to-face date. Talk to a matchmaker today to start dating.
"Unbelievable" comes on the radio as you scramble to grab your cassette tape to record the chart-topper.
Celebrating 30 Years of Matchmaking
This month, It's Just Lunch is celebrating 30 years of first dates and success stories.
How to take your virtual dating to the next level
Whether you're thinking about jumping into the virtual dating game for the first time, or you're experienced and just looking to up your game, it's

DOB: 11/21/15 (Quad) Height: 21 1/2"
Bella is another of our lovely Red daughters whose dairy genetics are following in her mother's footsteps. In her most recent Test, Bella surpassed the 1000# mark, with still 70 days to go on her 305 Day test----an amazing feat for a FF.
Bella's dam, Red has been in ADGA/AGS Top 10 multiple times, Breed Leader 3 different years, and holds the record for 1Day high of 8.1#. Red's current lactation (her 5th freshening) has resulted in 6000# for lifetime. Pretty impressive genetics to pass on, and it looks like Bella's the daughter who will carry it on.
Bella's sire, Bellissimo has a pedigree that is the Whose Who of Little Tots Estate. There are Finished Champion or LA scores of 90+ (or both) in almost the entire pedigree. She is actually line-bred CH Hot Habanero, whose litter sister (CH/MCH Cholula) is EEEE91 and the dam of CH/VEVE89 daughter. Habanero is the sire of MANY Finished CH's, LA's of 90+, SG/Elite, and producers of Finished CHs.
Bella finished her DHI (305 Day Test) as a FF. Her Milk Test high is 5.6#, with her production 1295#. Her final lactation numbers were 1641#-113# BF & 73# Protein. Bella's Production Earnings Index of PE ranking is 99%---the highest PE for an Elite Doe, an amazing accomplishment for a First Fresherner.
Due to a computer glitch in ADGA processing of our LA permit, we were skipped over for 2017. To earn the award of Superior Genetics, a doe has to be appraised (LA) and have a PE of 85% or higher. Hopefully, that doesn't happen next year, and we can get our herd appraised---which will allow Bella and our other FF's to be eligible for the Superior Genetics program The Elite Program has a minimum of 95% PE, however LA isn't one of the requirements.
We're excited to welcome the babies from Oliver & Bella due this fall.

Dr. Sweet is an Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, and a prize-winning historian with a Ph.D. in history. She practiced medicine for over twenty years at Laguna Honda Hospital in San Francisco, where she began writing.
For a flavor of her philosophy, see Wikiquote: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Victoria_Sweet
In God's Hotel: A Doctor, a Hospital, and a Pilgrimage to the Heart of Medicine (Riverhead, 2012), she laid out her evidence—in stories of her patients and her hospital—for some radically new ideas about medicine and healthcare in this country. Now, in Slow Medicine: The Way to Healing, she expands and builds on those ideas and stories. In our attempts to get control of healthcare costs by privileging "efficiency," she suggests, we've been headed down the wrong path. Medicine works best—that is, arrives at the right diagnosis and the right treatment for the least amount of money—when it is personal and face-to-face; when the doctor has enough time to do a good job, and pays attention not only to the patient but to what's around the patient. Dr. Sweet calls this approach Slow Medicine, and she believes that, put into wider practice, it would be not only more satisfying and beneficial for patient and doctor, but also less expensive for everyone.
The New York Times has called her ideas "hard-core subversion"; Vanity Fair has judged God's Hotel to be a "radical and compassionate alternative to modern healthcare," and Health Affairs has described Dr. Sweet as a "visionary" and "subversive in all the best ways." She was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship (2014) for Slow Medicine: The Way to Healing.
More on Dr. Sweet, especially for Book Groups
It seems that people want to know more about Dr. Sweet than she'd imagined, especially book groups. They want to know more about her family, her upbringing, and what made her go into history. She's delighted to discover that her traces have been so well-covered, and she's also delighted to add the following:
"In terms of my background. The main thing for me is that I'm a fourth generation Californian, and almost a fourth generation San Franciscan. My family came to California for the Gold Rush. Some of them went by ship and had to portage across the Isthmus of Panama; others went by covered wagon. So I grew up with many stories about San Francisco. I heard about Emperor Norton, about the 1906 Earthquake, about the failure to get a freeway through the heart of the city, and I grew up with a lot of feeling for the city of Saint Francis. That's in part why I responded so thoroughly to Laguna Honda.
"I went to Stanford and majored in mathematics, minored in classics. I was always split between science and the humanities. Then I started a PhD program at Harvard in psychology, but realized that medicine would work better for me than basic research. Because to be a good doctor you have to be a scientific humanist and a humanistic scientist.
"As I grew up in medicine, I found myself changed by my patients and I started writing and thinking about everything that came up, early on. The concept of a medicine as a calling and a vocation; the archetype of a physician; the linguistic connection between wholeness, healing and salvation; the split between curing and caring. Finally, I decided to bite the bullet and dive into history. It's a mixed metaphor but true. Especially after I discovered Hildegard and her medicine. Slow Medicine contains the stories that all this led to."
Dr. Sweet speaks frequently to medical professionals and the public about Slow Medicine and related topics.
Her published work also includes a book on the twelfth century mystic and medical practitioner, Hildegard of Bingen: Rooted in the Earth, Rooted in the Sky: Hildegard of Bingen and Premodern Medicine (Routledge, 2006), and her essay, "Hildegard of Bingen and the Greening of Medieval Medicine,"(Bulletin of the History of Medicine, 1999).

About The Coves Mountain River Club
The Coves Story
Welcome to your own private corner of paradise. Drink in the crisp mountain air, inhale a bouquet of sweet wildflowers and thank your lucky stars in the clear North Carolina sky because you've found a vibrant mountain community that truly is a homegrown paradise. Welcome to The Coves. Not any NC mountain real estate development could be this idyllic unless it is developed by someone with a genuine love of mountain living. Someone who understands a perfect balance between rustic comfort and endless activities set against a vibrant picturesque landscape. The visionary with a desire to bring all of this together for you is The Coves developer, Tim Ritch and his Jacksonville, Florida based Development Team. Inspired by fond childhood memories of vacationing in his beloved Blue Ridge – where his family vacationed each year to escape the Florida humidity and enjoy cooler mountain climates – Tim was determined to recreate that feeling of sheer bliss and share it with a new generation of mountain lovers.
After college, he moved his family to Charlotte. It was an ideal location for giving his kids the gift of mountain living, while still having access to a large metropolitan city where he grew his early career. Within two years, Ritch's family built their first home in the mountains near the Blue Ridge Parkway, where they spent much of their time enjoying the great outdoors, with abundant natural wonders, national parks, and attractions in their own backyard.
Life has as many twists and turns as the Blue Ridge Parkway itself. After six years in Charlotte, Ritch's family made the move back to Florida to be closer to his parents and start a development company. He may have been living in The Sunshine State, but a piece of his heart still belonged to the mountains. He started laying a plan for someday returning to the Blue Ridge by the perfect mountain community.
The Coves Mountain Real Estate
Homesites
The development team was introduced to an individual who owned one of the parent parcels which formed the core of The Coves in 2004. By early 2007, he had assembled over 10 different land parcels that make up The Coves Mountain River Club as it is known today. The first home site closings took place in late 2007. But, just as the development team was starting to get a momentum going, the rug was pulled out from under them by way of the Great Real Estate Recession.
During this period, challenges mounted. There were unexpected delays due to the recession as well as plan cancellations because of government limitations. But Ritch and his team persevered. This was a childhood dream coming true, and the group was determined to see it through. With a personal drive to succeed and a capital partner with admirable patience, Ritch and his team delivered on the promise of developing a top-notch gated community that would attract mountain lovers from far and wide.
Today, The Coves Mountain River Club flag flies proudly in the mountain breeze, and the community is growing strong. With almost 150 mountain homes built to date, the curb appeal is unmatched, the population keeps growing, and the reputation keeps glowing. Residents of The Coves take pride in their homegrown gated community, and with good reason.
Ritch and his development team have built something special. This is a one-of-a-kind community, rooted in a mountain-inspired childhood dream, realized by a team with a drive to see it through. Offering million-dollar mountain views (but without the price tag), The Coves is a paradise created just for you. Come on by for a visit and say hello. Or better yet, come to find a home of your own and join The Coves Mountain River Club family.

Two years after the original, the Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 ascends the CES stage. The new version is easier to fly yet more capable than its predecessor. It packs an upgraded camera that shoots HD videos and photos in-flight, as well as a tougher exterior and new sensors.
The apps which control the drone are getting an update to support the new functionality – the update should hit the iOS and Android versions at the same time. The new app makes sharing the videos you shoot easier – one tap lets you share and upload to YouTube.
Actually, the interface of the whole app has been reworked and is easier to use. It's compatible with the old drone, so current AR.Drone owners will get to enjoy the new user experience as well.
The AR.Drone 2.0 features a magnetometer, which combined with the magnetometer in the controller device (an iOS or Android phone or tablet) enables Absolute Control mode – basically "forward" for the drone is based on where you're facing rather than where the drone is facing, making flying more intuitive.
A new pressure sensor gives the drone better stability and the ability to fly at heights of 6m or above. Parrot says that the limit of how far the AR.Drone 2.0 can go is the range of its Wi-Fi connection (which is used to connect it to the controller device).
The battery life remains unchanged from version 1.0 despite the new features and so does the price – $300. The Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 is expected in Q2 of this year.
For more info on the new drone, you can go to Parrot's web page.

What I Learned About Women During the Victorian Era
Throughout this semester, I learned a lot of interesting things about Victorian literature. One thing that I found to be the most compelling is the way female authors wrote about women and women's issues at the time. I really enjoyed reading how women would bring attention to the way they were being treated, as well as, the different approach these female authors would take in their works about how they were treated. Some were more up front with advocating for women's rights, and others wrote of the idea more subtly in their works. Additionally, I liked learning how some women would go against what was normal in society and bring attention to the way society treats and perceives them; I liked learning about this and connecting it to today's time, as well.
To begin, in Martineau's Society in America, she calls into question the government and how they don't have the consent of women to make unfair laws that they are forced to abide by. After reading what she had to say, I really admire her bravery for speaking her mind during a time where women didn't have as many rights. Furthermore, I also find it interesting that what she is saying is still applicable today. Now, women have more rights, but there are still issues when it comes to abortion and the government deciding how much of a right women have to deciding what happens to their bodies.
Another female author we looked at this semester is Mary Ann Evans, who wrote under the name George Eliot. I found it really interesting after I read her review essay in The Leader that she was a woman and not a man. I thought it was disheartening that she felt she had to change her name in what she wrote to be a male name, so that she would not get judged for her beliefs and be taken more seriously. Looking back at this now in today's time, I can't imagine what it must be like living in a society that forces a woman to do this. It is also really strange she had to change her name because either way her ideas are exactly the same. Additionally, I find her differing approach from Martineau to be interesting because she isn't as obvious of an advocate for women's rights; her ideas are more subtle in that she wants change to occur in a more incremental way than Martineau, who was calling for change in a more urgent way.
The last female author I'll discuss is Amy Levy. Some may see her as an author who is reinforcing stereotypes about women. For instance, there is a lot of reference to Judith's beauty in Reuben Sachs, as well as, numerous descriptions of the lavish clothing women wear. Thus, some may see it as Levy reinforcing the idea of the importance of a woman's looks. Although, when looking more closely at the text, she may be making more of a commentary on how women are portrayed in society, instead. For instance, she writes "But the life, the position, the atmosphere, though she knew it not, were repressive ones. This woman, with her beauty, her intelligence, her power of feeling, saw herself merely as one of a vast crowd of girls awaiting their promotion by marriage" (35). Hence, marriage isn't written in the most positive light, but instead is "repressive." As a result, she is subtly making a commentary on how damaging society's place for women is to them. She also isn't writing her ideas in an essay format, but through a cohesive story. So, we get her ideas about women through interpreting the characters and we can make our own claims about what we think she was trying to say and advocate for.
All in all, I enjoyed this class and learned a lot about the Victorian Era through the literature we read and discussed. I liked learning about the female authors we looked at and what they had to say about women's place in society. The differing approaches from the authors was also interesting to learn, as well.

Geodata is basic data on the country ensuring public access to information on the environment and nature. The data is also important to support the government's policy formulation and activities in various areas, such as asset registration, planning, nature conservation, monitoring of natural threats, energy matters, research and public works, and is used in a variety of ways by the public and industry.
Basic geodetic and geographic data on Iceland is therefore a necessity. This data includes basic maps, a national co-ordinate system, vertical information system, digital land information etc. The role of the National Land Survey of Iceland is to collect, process, preserve and disseminate this information. The agency is also responsible for developing and maintaining access to digital land information on behalf of the government under the EU's INSPIRE directive.


The last recorded cavalry charge made by US Army personnel assigned to a formal Cavalry in combat was led by Lt. Ed Ramsey of Troop G, 26th US Cavalry Regiment (Philippine Scouts) in January, 1942. The final recorded cavalry action, according to most history books, involved mounted troops of the Cavalry Reconnaissance Troop of the 10th Mountain Division in Europe, three years later.
Those were the last ones unless you count the mounted SOF troops in Afghanistan in 2001, however (remember ODAs 595 and 534?), and the ones conducting FID operations from horseback in unfriendly places now. Just last month saw the dedication of the "Horse Soldier" monument, more properly called the De Oppresso Liber, America's Response Monument. Sited in New York City's Liberty Park, overlooking One World Trade Center, the 16 foot bronze statue honors those and other soldiers of TF Dagger, many of whom were thrust unprepared into their role as mounted troops by necessity.
The 'De Oppresso Liber' Monument, courtesy FrontPageMag.com.
There are other mounted units that have been active more recently than WWII -- elements like the 30th Security Forces Squadron, Vandenberg AFB, 314th SFS, 24th SPS, the Marine Corps Mounted Color Guard, the percherons of various caisson units and others, but they require different training than an SF team in the mountains of Afghanistan. SOF personnel operating on horseback require a background in more than just equitation. They need to understand equine logistics, gear handling, basic veterinary skills, even horse selection if there are no other knowledgeable personnel nearby.
Where do such SOF personnel go to train up for a mission conducted on horseback? One place is the USMC's Mountain Warfare Training Center, but another, and perhaps the most remarkable, is Trails Found. Trails Found is the small, unassuming training organization founded and run by Jim Grasky, a former USBP agent, one of the founders of BORTAC and a Vietnam War era Special Forces veteran who spent much of his youth chasing Che Guevara. A storied and accomplished tracker, experienced farrier and superb horseman, Grasky (now drawing close to 80) quietly continues to train DoD SOF personnel in the backcountry of Arizona.
Most of his students could be his great grand-children.
Jim Grasky has been tracking and teaching horse handling for decades. Not surprisingly he is an adept mounted tracker an a savvy small unit tactician, including mounted operations. He was a Demo/Combat Engineer soldier with the 8th Special Forces Group when there still was one, a smokejumper and then smokejumper squadleader in Montana, before going on to become what some younger USBP agents have referred to as a "...legendary agent of the old Border Breed."
Just a couple weeks ago several writers, photographers and videographers rallied in the Dragoon Mountains of Arizona to train with Grasky and Trails Found. Kit Up! will be getting some of pearls of wisdom from Grasky, and the contributors' reviews. Of particular interest might be not just how different sorts of apparel and equipment hold up in that environment, but how it performs during many miles and hours on horseback.
Equipment and firearm manufacturers represented there on the ground were some names Kit Up! readers will recognize, e.g. companies such as Sig Electro Optics, Crye Precision, Tactical Distributors, Kestrel, Radical Firearms, Lowa, Magpul, Tactical Distributors and Leupold. There also some you might not expect, like Noble Outfitters, Stetson, North American Arms, Chiappa, Lander, and Re-Fuel.

KONE have announced a new high-rise elevator technology that is set to break industry limits and enable future elevator travel heights of 1 kilometer, twice the distance currently feasible.
The new KONE UltraRope is a completely new hoisting technology that eliminates the disadvantages of conventional steel rope and opens up a world of possibilities in high-rise building design.
Comprised of a carbon fibre core and a unique high-friction coating, the UltraRope is extremely light, meaning elevator energy consumption in high-rise buildings can be cut significantly. The drop in rope weight means a dramatic reduction in elevator moving masses – the weight of everything that moves when an elevator travels up or down, including the hoisting ropes, compensating ropes, counterweight, elevator car, and passenger load (see image). Due to the significant impact of ropes on the overall weight of elevator moving masses, the benefits of KONE UltraRope increase exponentially as travel distance grows.
KONE UltraRope is extremely strong and highly resistant to wear and abrasion. Elevator downtime caused by building sway is also reduced as carbon fibre resonates at a completely different frequency to steel and most other building materials. KONE UltraRope has an exceptionally long lifetime – at least twice that of conventional steel rope – and thanks to the special coating, no lubrication is required in maintaining it, enabling further cuts in environmental impact.
All of this adds up to unprecedented eco-efficiency, durability and reliability in future high-rise elevator travel.
KONE UltraRope has been developed and tested rigorously both in real elevators and simulation laboratories at KONE's research and development facilities in Finland. Since 2010, it has been tested in operation at the world's tallest elevator testing laboratory, KONE's Tytyri facility built over 300 meters underground adjacent to an active limestone mine. Properties like tensile strength, bending lifetime, and material aging are just some of the qualities that have been measured.
Urbanisation is a key driver for the development of cities and the elevator industry. More than half of the world's population already live in urban areas, and the United Nations estimates that by 2050 seven out of every 10 people on the planet will be living in cities. Building upwards is seen as the sustainable urban solution, and the number of tall buildings built around the globe has increased rapidly in recent years. Increasingly, tall buildings are also growing taller. Nearly 600 buildings of 200 meters or more are currently under construction or planned to be built over the next few years, according to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. While there are currently three buildings in the world that top the 500-meter mark, there are plans for 20 more such buildings to be built in coming years.

Ray Wilkins
'It was a privilege to know and work with him' - a tribute to Chelsea legend Ray Wilkins
The news broke that former Chelsea player, coach and Blues supporter, Ray Wilkins, has sadly passed away at the age of 61 having suffered a heart attack last week
David Chidgey
Ray Wilkins has died at the age of 61
When Ray Wilkins was admitted to hospital on Friday, the outpouring of affection and messages of support was immense. The outpouring of tributes and grief from Chelsea supporters, players and colleagues in the media, in fact so many from the wider world of football in the wake of his passing, has been staggering.
If you knew Ray none of this would be a surprise. They say that you should judge a man by the number of friends he has. It seems that Ray has more than enough to fill the biggest football stadium in the world.
From a personal point of view this is a very difficult piece to write. I'm not ashamed to say that I have shed more than a few tears since hearing the news. Ray Wilkins was my first Chelsea hero but more than that I was privileged to work with him and get to know him.
Chelsea legend Ray Wilkins passes away at the age of 61
I worked with him when I was series producer of 'Berlin or Bust' – a series of TV shows on the 2006 World Cup. Ray was one of our main pundits and it was my job to sit and watch the World Cup matches with him before he went in to the studio.
I did my homework and brought along a bottle of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, his favourite red wine. We would quaff a glass or two while watching the games back and Ray would have to suffer my punditry and analysis. Many former footballers and pundits would have ignored or even belittled the nonsense I was no doubt spouting, but not Ray.

He would patiently explain the tactics and how the match was playing out but all the while praising me for my 'superb knowledge of football, young man'. This from my first football hero; I really had to pinch myself.
Ray's bonhomie, humility and ability to make everyone feel 10 feet tall extended beyond the series producer. He was lovely to everyone. On his last show for us, the entire studio crew rose as one and applauded him off the set, such was their affection and respect for him.
Ray Wilkins broke in to the Chelsea side as a 17-year-old in the 1973/74 season, just as the great 'Kings of the Kings Road' side of the late 1960s and early 1970s was breaking up. It was a grim time for Chelsea and its supporters. Crippling debts due to the building of the East Stand and unrest on the playing side meant that Chelsea faced relegation at the end of the 1974/75 season.
Ray, or 'Butch' as he was known, was handed the captaincy as an 18-year-old in the crunch relegation match, what we would call a 'six-pointer' today, against Spurs. Chelsea lost amidst pitched battles between the supporters and were consigned to a spell in Division Two.
He was to keep the captain's armband for the next five years as Eddie McCreadie forged a side plucked from the youth team. For supporters of my vintage it was an exciting time following McCreadie's Blue and White Army; the 'Boys in Blue in Division Two' who thankfully were not there for long.
Chelsea fans show their unbelievable support for Ray Wilkins with new banner
The shining light of that young side was Ray Wilkins and it was abundantly clear that we were lucky to have a player of his talent playing for us. Commanding Chelsea's midfield, Ray had a style and grace about him and could ping a forty yard pass to feet at a time when the Stamford Bridge pitch resembled a swamp.
He also had an eye for goal, scoring 30 for Chelsea by the age of 22, some of them spectacular like his chip over the Hereford 'keeper in January 1977.

It was no surprise that he was awarded 24 caps for England while playing for second division Chelsea and sadly even less of a surprise that he was taken from us by Manchester United in the summer of 1979 for a record fee of £825,000. The club were broke and they were in no position to refuse.
Many of us shed a few tears that day as well; many more sang "don't go Wilkins, don't go" from the Shed End. We had lost arguably one of the greatest home grown players the club has produced, and we knew it. His subsequent playing career was highly successful, cosmopolitan and very long.
The football world pays tribute to Ray Wilkins after his tragic passing at the age of 61
After five years at United, where he won the FA Cup in 1983 and scored in the final, he went on to play for Milan, Paris St-Germain, Rangers and Queens Park Rangers before hanging his boots up in 1997 at the age of 41. He also Captained England in 10 out of his 84 caps for his country; even Chelsea supporters who bemoaned the fact that he'd long since left Chelsea secretly bulged with pride that he was really one of our own.
Ray returned to the Bridge in 1999 when he joined Gianluca Vialli's coaching staff. He resumed the role in 2008 after the departure of Steve Clarke, initially as Luiz Felipe Scolari's assistant. When Scolari was fired Wilkins took over as caretaker manager for the fifth round FA Cup tie against Watford. Chelsea duly won 3-1.

I couldn't resist sending him a congratulatory text mentioning that whatever happened next he would always have a 100% record as Chelsea manager. Magnanimous as always he replied, that night, saying "Thanks Fella".
With the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti as manager, Ray resumed his assistant's role and the club went on to win a historic League and FA Cup double in the 2009/10 season. The next season Wilkins was sacked, a decision that many supporters felt led to both the team and Ancelotti's demise.
Former Manchester United team-mate perfectly sums up Ray Wilkins' special character
Ancelotti was in no doubt as to Ray's value to the team: "Ray is one of those select few, always present, noble in spirit, a real blue-blood, Chelsea flows in his veins…Without him, we couldn't have won a thing".
Having been treated so harshly by the club he loved many would have understood had he turned his back on them or spoke out against them in the media where he enjoyed a successful career as a pundit. Not Ray, he was too classy for that and nothing could extinguish the love he had for the club and the supporters.
He represented Chelsea supporters as passionately from the radio or TV studio as much as he did from the stands where he was a season ticket holder. He was often seen at away games with the Chelsea supporters too and always had time for a kind word, a joke and a selfie.
Chelsea's strange campaign proves Roman Abramovich must make a big change at the club
In Ray Wilkins we have lost a true Chelsea legend and genuinely one of our own, but more than that we have lost a real gentleman and a lovely human being. His wife, son, daughter and grandchildren have lost a much loved husband, father and grandfather and my heart and condolences go out to them.
I know that Chelsea supporters will pay Ray Wilkins the tribute that he deserves this Sunday before the match against West Ham and I'm sure there will a few more tears shed by many of us then.
Thanks fella. Rest in peace.
