P120 (rocket stage)

P120 is a solid-fuel first-stage rocket motor developed by Avio and ArianeGroup through the joint venture Europropulsion on behalf of European Space Agency for use on Vega C and Ariane 6.

"C" in P120C stands for "Common" as it will be shared by Ariane 6 and Vega-C.

In July 2022, with its inaugural flight, it replaced its predecessor P80 as the world's largest and most powerful one-piece solid-fuel rocket motor.

History

The production of P120C was originally planned to be shared by the main Avio facility in Colleferro, Italy and by OHB-owned MT Aerospace facility of Augsburg, Germany. At the 17–18 May 2018 meeting of the ESA launcher program board in it was decided the production of P120C will be done in its full capacity in Italy. Mt Aerospace will instead produce turbo pumps for the upcoming Ariane 6 rocket originally awarded to Avio.

The first test firing of P120C was carried out on 16 July 2018 on the BEAP test bench at the Europe's spaceport Guiana Space Centre in Kourou, French Guiana. The test lasted 140 seconds with the motor delivering a maximum thrust of 4.65 MN (1,050,000 lbf), simulating the complete burn time from liftoff and through the first phase of flight. No anomalies were seen and the performance met expectations.

On 28 January 2019 a second test firing of 135 seconds at the Guiana Space Centre qualified the P120C rocket motor for flight.

The second qualification model of the P120C solid rocket motor, configured for Ariane 6, completed its hot firing on 7 October 2020 at Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana.

Overview

The P120C rocket motor is derived from the first stage of the Vega rocket P80. Like its predecessor, the structural casing is made of carbon fibre, which is built from pre-impregnated epoxy sheets through filament winding and automatic fabric deposition. It will contain 143.6 tons of HTPB 1912 solid propellant composed by 19% of aluminium powder, 69% of ammonium perchlorate with 12% of hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene binder.


P120 (rocket stage)

It takes 3,500 km (2,200 mi) of carbon fibre, wound over 33 days in a climate controlled room held at 21 °C to make the motor's 25 cm (9.8 in) thick walls. The finished launcher will carry 143 tonnes of solid fuel and produce an average of 4.5 MN of thrust.

P120C+

In 2022, development of a stretched P120C+ version was announced to supersede the original on both the Ariane 6 and Vega-C, this extends the length of the solid booster by one meter adding 14 tons of extra propellant

Richard Aßmann (works council chairman)

Richard Aßmann (16 December 1875 – 21 June 1933) became a Works Council Chairman ("Betriebsratsvorsitzender") with the AOK (national Health Insurance provider) in Berlin. He also involved himself in politics and was a member of the centre-left Social Democratic Party ("Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands" / SPD).

On 20 June 1933 he was forcibly removed from a tram by Nazi paramilitaries and taken away. His body was found, badly degraded, in a sack in the Dahme (river) on 11 July 1933. His daughter, Hilde Aßmann, was required to identify the body, which she was able to do because she recognised his wrist watch. Although the precise date of his death was never established, Richard Aßmann is generally seen as the first of an estimated 500 victims – at least 23 of whom were murdered while in detention and subsequently identified – of Köpenick's week of bloodshed ("die Köpenicker Blutwoche"), one of the first recorded mass-atrocities carried out by the Nazis after they took power in January 1933.

Life


Richard Aßmann (works council chairman)

Life

Richard Aßmann was a clerical worker employed by the AOK (national Health Insurance provider) in Berlin. During Germany's inter-war democratic period his fellow workers elected him as an employee representative to the organisation's works council ("Betriebsrat"). Subsequently, they elected him to the chairmanship of it. At the start of 1933 the Nazis took power and lost no time in transforming Germany into a one-party dictatorship. Directly after the Reichstag fire, at the end of February 1933, arrests began of people who had been active in the Communist Party before 1933. Throughout the twelve Nazi years, official persecution would be focused most intensely on citizens identified as "Communists" and / or "Jews". But citizens with records of political activism in other parties were also at heightened risk. His home was on one side of the market place in Friedrichshagen which was at that time administered as part of the Berlin suburb of Köpenick.Köpenick was believed by the new government (and others) to contain particularly large numbers of Communists and Jews. Richard Aßmann had always been particularly trenchant in his criticism of Adolf Hitler and was a known "anti-fascist". He was a local leader in the pro-democracy Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold organisation. On the early morning of 21 June 1933 several Nazi "SA" paramilitaries boarded a tram on which Aßmann was travelling and forcibly removed him from it.

According to one source he was taken to the Seidler Restaurant in the Mahlsdorfer Straße which served as an informal center for the SA.He was badly tortured. He may then have been one of a number of detainees taken that night to the prison of the district court which had been taken over by the SA for use as a temporary headquarters."SA" building on the north shore of the Müggelsee where he was tortured and murdered."...gehörte zu den ersten, die am 21.6.1933 in das SA-Heim Seestraße, heute Müggelseedamm 132, verschleppt und dort misshandelt wurden")."Das ist Menschenblut. Mit diesen Hände habe ich diesen Marxisten erschlagen. An meinen Händen klebt Arbeiterblut").


Richard Aßmann (works council chairman)

His body was found on 11 July 1933 in or beside the Dahme (river), possibly by fishermen.

The body was buried at the Friedrichsfelde Municipal Cemetery.

Connections

Richard Aßmann's daughter, Hildegard Aßmann (1907–1989), married Alexander Abusch in 1931. At the time Abusch was a Communist Party activist: he would spend most of the twelve Nazi years as a political exile, first in France and later in Mexico. After war ended, he was able to return to Berlin in July 1946, becoming a member of the ruling Socialist Unity Party ("Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands" / SED) in the Soviet occupation zone: he was for many years after 1949 a stalwart of the East German political establishment.

Celebration and commemoration

Since 1951 there has been a memorial tablet to Richard Aßmann at Graal-Müritz complemented, since 1978, by a memorial bust by Wolfgang Eckardt. The tablet was placed in the grounds of what is now known as the "Rehaklinik" ("Rehabilitation Clinic") when a hospital and rehabilitation facility that had been commandeered after 1945 and used by the Soviet army was handed back to the municipal authorities and converted into a sanatorium. At this point the facility was renamed after Richard Aßmann as a high-profile victim of Nazi atrocities. There is otherwise no identified connection between Richard Aßmann and the coastal resort of Graal-Müritz.

In Berlin-Friedrichshagen, near where the murder is believed to have taken place, Aßmannstraße was renamed after Richard Aßmann in 1947. It had previously been known as Friedrich-Straße. The street also features a memorial tablet and, added in 2013, a "Stolperstein" commemorating Aßmann.


Richard Ashley (musician)

Richard Godfrey Ashley (8 September 1774 – 11 October 1836) was an English musician, and a son of John Ashley.

Early life

Ashley was the fourth son of John Ashley, a conductor and bassoonist who became the father of a notable family of musicians (General Charles Ashley, John James Ashley, and Charles Jane Ashley), and his wife, Mary (née Jane).St George Hanover Square, London, and baptised in the parish church on 10 September.Westminster Abbey's 1784 Handel Commemoration and performing at the Pantheon in May and June of the same year.

Career

As of Joseph Doane's Musical Directory (1794), at age 20, Ashley was living at his father's house. At this time, he was employed as a drummer for the Royal Opera House's oratorios, where he worked alongside his family. The Royal Society of Musicians also made him one of the musicians to play at the annual St Paul's Cathedral benefit concert, an honour usually reserved for members of the Society. His father proposed him as a member the following year, a proposal which was ratified in 1796, certifying Ashley as a qualified organist, violinist, violist, and player of kettledrums. He continued to play at this concert from 1795 to 1805, gaining the right to send a deputy in his place in 1806. At several dates in the 1810s, he served on the Society's Court of Assistants.

Ashley enjoyed what one Biographical Dictionary called "a long orchestral and solo concert career".Ranelagh Gardens, under his father's influence. He also performed under his elder brother, John, at the Royal Opera House's oratorios. As of his father's death in 1805, Ashley was apparently in "a better situation than either of his brothers were placed in", according to the will. In 1817, he was part of the King's Theatre Band.Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, "throughout his life he was in demand at major festivals"; it lists him as leading the violas at the Three Choirs festival in 1811, Oxford in 1813, York in 1823, and Chester in 1829.Worshipful Company of Musicians, and, on 7 July 1802, entered the Company's livery.

At age 42, on 1 April 1816, Ashley married the "spinster", Elizabeth Palmer, at St George Hanover Square.Gentleman's Magazine.£2 12s 6d by 1837. Later that year, the Society donated £5 for the treatment of Elizabeth's epilepsy, and Elizabeth was dead by 9 January 1839, when £8 was spent on the funeral of "the widow of the late Richard Ashley".


Isotemnus

Isotemnus is an extinct genus of notoungulate belonging to the family Isotemnidae. It lived from the Late Paleocene to the Middle Eocene of what is now Argentina.

Description

This genus was smaller than Thomashuxleya and Periphragnis, and did not exceed 50 kilograms in weight. Its build was comparable to a modern peccary, with a body relatively massive and strong and sturdy legs. Compared to other Eocene notoungulates, like basal Notohippidae and Notostylopidae, Isotemnus had an humerus whose distal part had a high medial trochlear crest, while the bicipital radial tuberosity was almost unexistant. The astragalus had a broad and low trochlea with a short neck. The calcaneus had rectangular fibular facets, and an unusually thick sustentaculum. Several of the distinctive anatomical leg characteristics of Isotemnus could be due to its smaller size ; Periphragnis and Thomashuxleya, while very similar, had different characteristics.

Classification

Isotemnus is the eponymous genus of the family Isotemnidae, a possibly paraphyletic group of notoungulates including the most basal forms of toxodonts. Isotemnus was one of the most archaic and basal of the isotemnids. The type species is Isotemnus primitivus, first described in 1897 by Florentino Ameghino, based on fossil remains found in terrains dating back from the Early Eocene of Argentine Patagonia. Other species were later attributed to the genus, such as I. ctalego (Early Eocene), I. haugi (Early Eocene, initially described as Leifunia haugi), I. latidens (Middle Eocene). Fragmentary remains attributed to Isotemnus were discovered in Late Paleocene formations in Argentina.

Mullumbimby (novel)

Mullumbimby (2013) is a novel by Australian author Melissa Lucashenko. It concerns Jo Breen, a Bundjalung woman, who buys some of her country and the conflicts that arises. Mullumbimby won the Fiction category of the Queensland Literary Awards in 2013.

Plot summary

Following her divorce, Jo Breen mows the lawns at a cemetery for white settlers in the small town of Mullumbimby, inland from the north coast of New South Wales. She works to buy herself a block of land and to care for herself and her teenage daughter. Breen is a Goorie, an Indigenous woman from the local area, and her relationship to the land she owns is deep-felt and defining.

Jo becomes embroiled in a local Native Title dispute between two rival Aboriginal families, which leads her to profound discoveries about culture, and her and her daughter’s place in it.

  * Dedication: for my teachers
  * Epigraph: "Thin love ain't love at all" - Toni Morrison, Beloved
  * Author's note: This novel is set mainly on the Arakwal lands of the Bundjalung Nation. Like the characters, however, the specific locations of Tin Wagon Road, Piccabeen and Lake Majestic are entirely fictional. They exist only in the author's imagination.

Reviews

  * James Tierney in The Newton Review of Books noted: "Lucashenko bursts the myth that Indigenous culture must present a unified face to Australia in order to be strong. The balance of voices here is a careful one, born of deep respect and a clear eye."
  * Eve Vincent in The Sydney Review of Books found "The novel plumbs the depths of bitterness, conflict and destruction the native title claims process too often leaves in its wake. It brilliantly captures, in a robust vernacular style, the fury and cynicism spawned by the long-lasting and emotionally exhausting claims process."
  * Also reviewed by Radio National,The Sydney Morning Herald,Australian Book Review,Southerly,The Age.

MAB21L2

Mab-21-like 2 (C. elegans) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MAB21L2 gene.

Function

This gene is similar to the C. elegans MAB-21 cell fate-determining gene, a downstream target of transforming growth factor-beta signaling. It is thought that this gene may be involved in neural development. The protein encoded by this gene is primarily nuclear, although some cytoplasmic localization has been observed.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo Clock

"One Flew Over the Cuckoo Clock" is an episode of the BBC sitcom, The Green Green Grass. It was first screened on 25 December 2005, as the 2005 Christmas Special.

Synopsis

After receiving an invitation to the Agricultural Ball in Somerset, Boycie and Marlene decide to attend and take Bryan as their driver. Boycie begins to worry that the Driscoll Brothers might be at the ball. Upon arriving they soon begin to settle in, until they meet two men who run a polo club who tell Boycie he could become a partner for a few million pounds and could even be knighted 'Sir Aubrey'.

The snob in Boycie comes rushing to the top and he agrees to meet them in Switzerland for a Christmas holiday, but unfortunately, on Christmas Eve, Boycie and Marlene are snowed in. Consequently, they are forced to spend Christmas with Mrs Cakeworthy, Bryan, Jed and Llewellyn. The snow does not lift quickly, so the realisation that they have missed their flight annoys Boycie.

Meanwhile, Elgin has gone into hospital to have his appendix removed; therefore, Llewellyn is filling in as farm manager for him. Also, Boycie and Marlene sit down to watch a festive edition of Crimewatch, only to find that the two men who had invited Boycie abroad were con men, and that the Driscoll Brothers had followed them to Switzerland. They had recognised Boycie's picture in a country magazine that just happened to mention where they would be this Christmas. So Boycie insists that God looked after him and made it snow on purpose. Therefore, the Boyces are safe and sound, for now, and can continue to celebrate a Christmas Driscoll-free.

Sack of Palermo

The sack of Palermo is the popular term for the construction boom from the 1950s through the mid-1980s in Palermo, Italy, that led to the destruction of the city's green belt and historic villas to make way for characterless and shoddily-constructed apartment blocks. In the meantime, Palermo's historic centre, severely damaged by Allied bombing raids in 1943, was allowed to decay. The bombing condemned nearly 150,000 people to live in crowded slums, shantytowns, and even caves.

Background

Salvo Lima

Vito Ciancimino

Between 1951 and 1961, the population of Palermo had risen by 100,000, caused by a rapid urbanization of Sicily after World War II as land reform and mechanization of agriculture created a massive peasant exodus and rural landlords moved their investment into urban real estate. This led to an unregulated and undercapitalised construction boom from the 1950s through the mid-1980s that was characterised by the aggressive involvement of the Sicilian Mafia in real estate speculation and construction. The years 1957 to 1963 were the high point in private construction, followed in the 1970s and 1980s by a greater emphasis on public works. The population of Palermo grew from 503,000 in 1951 to 709,000 in 1981, an increase of 41 percent.

More significant than the wartime destruction of the old city was the political decision against its restoration in favor of building a “new Palermo”, at first concentrated at the northern end, beyond the Art Nouveau neighborhood of 19th century expansion. Subsequently, in other zones to the west and the south spreading over, and destroying, the Conca d'Oro orchards, villas, and hamlets, accelerating the cementification of what had been green.

Real estate developers ran wild, pushing the center of the city out along Viale della Liberta toward the new Punta Raisi Airport. With hastily-drafted zoning variances or in wanton violation of the law, builders tore down countless Art Nouveau palaces and asphalted many of the city's parks, transforming one of the most beautiful cities in Europe into a dense, unappealing landscape of cement condominia. Villa Deliella, one of the most important works of Sicilian architect Ernesto Basile was completely demolished in the middle of the night, hours before it would have come under the protection of historic preservation laws.

Mafia involvement


Sack of Palermo

Mafia involvement

The high point of the sack happened when the Christian Democrat Salvo Lima was mayor of Palermo (1958-1963 and 1965-1968) and Vito Ciancimino the assessor for public works.Mafia-allied building contractors such as Palermo's leading construction entrepreneur Francesco Vassallo – a former cart driver hauling sand and stone in a poor district of Palermo. Vassallo was connected to mafiosi like Angelo La Barbera and Tommaso Buscetta. In five years, over 4,000 building licences were signed, some 2,500 in the names of three pensioners who had no connection with construction at all.

Developers with close ties to the Mafia were not afraid to use strong-arm tactics to intimidate owners into selling or to clear the way for their projects.Antimafia Commission noted:

It was in Palermo in particular that the phenomenon [of illegal construction] took on dimensions such as not to leave any doubts about the insidious penetration by the Mafia of public administration. The administrative management of Palermo City Council reached unprecedented heights of deliberate non-observation of the law around 1960.

Jan Altink

Jan Altink (Dutch pronunciation: [jɑn ˈɑltɪnk]; 21 October 1885 – 6 December 1971) was a Dutch expressionist painter and cofounder of De Ploeg.

Life

Jan Altink was born on 21 October 1885 in Groningen in the Netherlands.

He studied at the Kunstnijverheidsschool (circa 1900) and Academie Minerva (circa 1911). In 1918, he was a cofounder of the artists' association and movement De Ploeg.

Altink's work was included in the 1939 exhibition and sale Onze Kunst van Heden (Our Art of Today) at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

Altink died, at the age of 86, in the city of Groningen on 6 December 1971.

Work

Auction house Christie's described Altink as being "widely regarded as the purest 'Groninger' of all Ploeg artists".

After studying paintings alleged to be the work of Altink, Dutch art expert Milko den Leeuw testified in a forgery case that the pictological “handwriting” of some works that had been contributed to him did not match his other paintings, but were a perfect match for those produced by an accused forger, the Dutch painter and art collector Cor van Loenen, under his own name.

Melville Reuben Bissell

Melville Reuben Bissell (September 25, 1843 – March 15, 1889) was an American entrepreneur who invented the modern carpet sweeper.Bissell corporation is named after him.

Life and career

Bissell was born in Hartwick, New York, and grew up in Berlin, Wisconsin. As a young adult, he opened a grocery store in 1862 with his father, Alpheus, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, selling it in 1869 and opening a crockery and glassware store in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1870. He made money manufacturing crockery and investing in real estate.

Following the financial Panic of 1873 and the following economic depression, Bissell began working on a carpet sweeper. In 1876 Bissell patented a sweeper with a central brush, rubber wheels, and other improvements over previous sweepers. A fire in 1884 destroyed his first factory, but he was able to overcome the loss and still later expand his business.

Social mobility in Japan

Social mobility in Japan refers to the upward and downward movement for Japanese from one social class to another. The vertical mobility can be the change in social status between parents and children, which is intergenerational movement; as well as the change over the course of a lifetime, which is intragenerational movement. After World War II, Japan’s economy grew rapidly and stably. Japan achieved the high employment rate among developed countries as well as established a relatively equal class structure due to the rapid economy growth as well as its life-time employment system, progressive tax policies, and social security policies.Liberal Democratic Party in Japan, and verified the proposition that industrialization narrows down the social stratification.

One factor that contributed to social mobility in Japan was the rapid economic growth between 1955 and 1985 with Japan’s industrial structure changes. However, after the bubble economy burst in 1990, Japan entered a period of development stagnation known as "The Lost Decade." Therefore, the occupational prestige, education levels, and assets among different social classes still existed and were not eliminated by industrialization. The trend of class stratification first appeared in the 1980s, and the main manifestations included the stagnation of equalized distribution, the fixation of employment patterns, and the narrowing gap between occupations. Therefore, wages and salaries were no longer the main variables in the economic stratification; instead, the difference in household assets became increasingly important in the economic stratification.Japanese yen was invested in stocks, securities, and real estate. The difference between financial assets and land prices rapidly expanded. Assets replaced wage income and became the determining factor of people’s economic status and consumption patterns.


Social mobility in Japan

Furthermore, the implementation of public policies including employment policies, tax policies, and social security policies also contributed to a relatively equal class structure in Japanese society. First, in the 1960s, Japan's total unemployment rate remained at around 1% and raised to 1.3% after 1973. During this period, due to the drastic changes in the industrial structure, industries and enterprises kept upgrading and the unemployment during this period mainly consisted of structural unemployment. The employment measures were mainly aimed at consolidating the life-time employment system, protecting the disadvantaged groups, and improving the labor market.redistribution effect of personal income tax. The Japanese tax system was characterized by a high tax threshold and a steep increase in tax progressivity, creating high tax rate for high-income classes and low tax rate for low-income classes.

Oar Folkjokeopus

An image of the building at 26th Street South and Lyndale Avenue with a superimposed 1980s-era photo of Oar Folkjokeopus

Oar Folkjokeopus (commonly known as Oar Folk) was a Minneapolis record store that operated on the corner of Lyndale Ave and 26th St from 1973 until 2001. The store was considered one of the staples of the Minneapolis rock scene in the 1980s, along with Jay's Longhorn Bar, and became a popular hub for musicians in the Twin Cities and the Midwest. The store was essentially the only place in Minneapolis that sold punk rock records in the 1970s and early 1980s, which made it a popular hangout for members of local bands such as Hüsker Dü, The Replacements, the Suicide Commandos, Soul Asylum and many more. Bob Mould of Hüsker Dü called it the city's "preeminent record store" and an important venue for him to find a fellow music-loving community.

Martin Keller, writer for the Minneapolis City Pages, said about Oar Folk: "A lot of people trace the whole rock scene (in the Twin Cities) to Oar Folk. I was living six blocks away at the time, and you'd always run into [Peter] Jesperson there because he worked the counter most days. [Bob] Mould was in and out on a regular basis. It was a real nice hangout."Lori Barbero, drummer for Babes in Toyland said concerning the store: "I have about 8,000 records, and I bought 7,000 of them at Oar Folk."Grant Hart of Hüsker Dü was not so fond of the store: "Oar Folk had a real snobbish attitude. It was a place to be condescended to."

History


Oar Folkjokeopus

History

Vern Sanden purchased what was then North Country Music in 1973 and renamed it "Oar Folkjokeopus." (The name was based on the solo album Oar by Alexander "Skip" Spence, a founding member of Jefferson Airplane and Moby Grape and an album by British folk musician Roy Harper, Folkjokeopus.)Peter Jesperson managed the store from 1974 until 1982. Jesperson co-founded Twin/Tone Records during this time and the store as well as the label thrived due in large part to each other.Jay's Longhorn Bar and Oar Folk, this trifecta largely fueled the punk and rock scene in Minneapolis during that era. Bands such as The Replacements, The Suburbs, Flamin' Oh's, Hüsker Dü, Soul Asylum, Jayhawks, and Curtiss A all maintained links between the three.

In 1985, a fire gutted Oar Folk.

Treehouse Records

After Oar Folkjokeopus closed in April, 2001, Mark Trehus opened a store at the same site known as Treehouse Records.
