Oxford City Athletic Club

The Oxford City Athletic Club is an athletics club in Oxford, England. The club is at the Horspath Sports Ground by the BMW Mini factory. It is affiliated with the Oxfordshire Athletics Association, the South of England Athletic Association (SEAA), and UK Athletics. The club is accredited by England Athletics. History The origins of the club come from the formation of the YMCA Athletics Club and the Oxford Harriers AAC. In 1944, Monty Hillier of the Harriers, formed the Oxford Ladies Athletic Club. The men's club followed in 1946, which then led to the amalgamation of the two clubs later that year, although the official merger did not take place until 1976. Maureen Gardner represented the Oxford LAC during the 1948 Summer Olympics and won a silver medal in the 80 metres hurdles. Four years later in 1952, Diane Coates competed at the 1952 Summer Olympics. Training was at the Iffley Road track (famous for Roger Bannister's first four minute mile). However, the ladies section moved to Barracks Lane and then to the current site at Horspath, which was built in the 1960s. The men continued at Iffley Road until 1976 when the official merger took place in 1976. The first synthetic track was laid at Horspath in 1996.

Department of International Development, University of Oxford

The Department of International Development, or Queen Elizabeth House (QEH), is an academic department at the Social Sciences Division at the University of Oxford in Oxford, England. It focuses on multidisciplinary research and postgraduate teaching on the developing world. Queen Elizabeth House Queen Elizabeth House (QEH) was founded in 1954 as a result of a gift of £100,000 given by Sir Ernest Oppenheimer to the University of Oxford, constituted by Royal Charter. From 1958 to 2005, QEH was located at 20–21 St Giles in central Oxford. The original QEH site lies north of St John's College, one of the Oxford University colleges. The site includes the earlier 17th-century Black Hall. In 1961, a new brick-built block was added, designed by R. E. Enthoven. In 1985, QEH merged with the Institute of Commonwealth Studies and the Institute of Agricultural Economics. In 2005, the lease of the site ended and its ownership returned to the nearby St John's College, which meant that the department needed to move its location. Later developments In 2005, the department moved to the former School of Geography building in Mansfield Road and became known as the Oxford Department of International Development. In 2011, the department was given royal authorisation to use the name "Queen Elizabeth House" for the buildings at 3 Mansfield Road. Notable research groups The department hosts six research groups and major projects including: Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI), led by Prof.Sabina Alkire Technology and Industrialisation for Development Centre (TIDE), led by Prof. Xiaolan Fu Young Lives, led by Dr. Marta Favara Refugee Studies Centre, led by Prof. Matthew Gibney Notable people The following people are or have been associated with the department: Sabina Alkire Alexander Betts Xiaolan Fu Barbara Harriss-White Frances Stewart References External links Department website

Oxford University Computing Services

Oxford University Computing Services (OUCS) until 2012 provided the central Information Technology services for the University of Oxford. The service was based at 7-19 Banbury Road in central north Oxford, England, near the junction with Keble Road. OUCS became part of IT Services, when the new department was created at the University of Oxford on 1 August 2012 through a merger of the three previous central IT departments: Oxford University Computing Services (OUCS), Business Services and Projects (BSP) and ICT Support Team (ICTST). At the time when Oxford University Computing Services ceased to operate as an independent department, it offered facilities, training and advice to members of the university in all aspects of academic computing. OUCS was responsible for the core networks reaching all departments and colleges of Oxford University. OUCS was made up of 5 technical and one administration group. Each group had responsibility for different aspects of OUCS services supplied to the university. At the time of the merger, the 5 technical groups were: Learning Technologies, Information and Support, Network Systems Management Services, Infrastructure Systems and Services Group, and Network and Telecommunications. History A lease on a house was obtained in 1957 and operation started in 1958, initially as the Computing Laboratory at 9 South Parks Road, a Victorian building, now demolished to make way for the Experimental Psychology and Zoology departments. In 1963, due to space problems, the staff and computers moved to 19 Parks Road, the old Engineering Building. In 1970, the Computing Service occupied 17 and 19 Banbury Road, having split from the Computing Laboratory, which became the university's Department of Computer Science. By 1975, the Computing Service had taken over all of 7 to 19 Banbury Road, as IT Services still does today. An outpost at 59 George Street in central Oxford closed in the mid-1990s.

Oxford services

Oxford services is a motorway service station next to junction 8A of the M40 motorway at Waterstock near Wheatley in Oxfordshire, several miles to the east of the city of Oxford. It is named after the nearby city of Oxford. The services are owned by Welcome Break and opened in the summer of 1998. It was the third of four service stations to open on the M40. There is also a Ramada hotel on the site. There is also a Welcome Break area at the Peartree Roundabout. It is one of four services along the 89-mile M40 motorway; the others are Beaconsfield, Cherwell Valley and Warwick. It is also known as "Rippy Fountain" services, due to the water displays outside the park which are similar to the now defunct Ripsaw ride at Alton Towers. Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) Oxford Services is the site of one of the United Kingdom's pioneering fully integrated Sustainable Drainage Schemes (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems). Designed by Robert Bray Associates, the SuDS system comprises a chain of basins, swales, filter strips, permeable paving and ponds. The system collects and treats surface water from roofs and parking areas before releasing it at a controlled rate into the local watercourse. Oxford Services was also pioneering in its use of reclaimed water using lagoons to treat waste water to a quality level sufficient for re-use in flushing toilets. However, nitrate levels in the treated water gave it a yellow hue which was deemed undesirable in the facility's toilet bowls, so the recycling connection was stopped and the toilets switched to a mains water supply.

PS Medway Queen

PS Medway Queen (Ме́дуэй Куи́н) — небольшое пассажирское судно, колёсный пароход. Был построен в 1924 году в Труне для New Medway Steam Packet Company, которая использовала его для экскурсионных рейсов по реке Медуэй. В годы Второй мировой войны нёс военную службу, патрулируя Дуврский пролив. История После постройки в 1924 году возил пассажиров в экскурсионные рейсы по реке Медуэй. С началом Второй мировой войны, осенью 1939 года, был призван на военную службу и сменил окраску с чёрно-бело-кремовой на строгую серую. Также был переоборудован в минный тральщик и получил имя HMS Medway Queen. В первой половине 1940 года патрулировал Дуврский пролив. Однако уже 27 мая получил приказ следовать в Дюнкерк, где в составе «флотилии маленьких кораблей» принял участие в эвакуации союзных войск из Дюнкерка; совершил семь рейсов, вывез, в общей сложности, семь тысяч военнослужащих и сбил три немецких воздушных судна. За эту операцию судно получило прозвище «героиня Дюнкерка». С 1946 по 1963 пароход опять использовался как гражданское судно. С 1966 оно использовалось как ночной клуб на острове Уайт, но через несколько лет было заброшено. С 1978 года предпринимались неоднократные неудачные попытки отреставрировать судно. В 1985 году было организовано Общество сохранения Medway Queen (англ. Medway Queen Preservation Society), но реставрация судна стала возможной только после того, как в 2006 году удалось собрать средства благодаря Национальной лотерее Великобритании. Поскольку корпус судна находился в очень плохом состоянии (судно провело несколько лет в полузатопленном состоянии), его пришлось разобрать и строить заново с максимальным использованием оригинальных частей, сохранившихся в хорошем состоянии. Эти работы проводились с 2009 по 2013 год. На судне сохранилась оригинальная паровая машина. С 2016 года судно функционирует как музей в городе Джиллингем в графстве Кент.

PS Wingfield Castle

The PS Wingfield Castle is a former Humber Estuary ferry, now preserved as a museum ship in Hartlepool, County Durham, England. The Wingfield Castle was built by William Gray & Company at Hartlepool, and launched in 1934, along with a sister ship, the Tattershall Castle. A third similar vessel, the Lincoln Castle built in Glasgow, was launched in 1940. She was earmarked to become a floating restaurant in Swansea Marina in the early 1980s but was too wide to fit through the lock gates. She is now preserved at the Museum of Hartlepool as a floating exhibit at Jackson Dock, as part of the Hartlepool's Maritime Experience visitor attraction, which also includes HMS Trincomalee.

PS Wingfield Castle

Le PS Wingfield Castle est un ancien ferry, bateau à roues à aubes, de l'estuaire Humber. Il est maintenant préservé en navire musée dans le port d'Hartlepool dans le Comté de Durham. Ce bâtiment est inscrit au registre du National Historic Ships depuis 1993 et il est aussi l'un des nombreux bateaux de la National Historic Fleet. Histoire Le Wingfield Castle a été construit par William Gray & Company à Hartlepool, et lancé en 1934, avec un navire jumeau, le PS Tattershall Castle. Un troisième navire similaire, le PS Lincoln Castle, construit à Glasgow, a été lancé en 1940. Il porte le nom du Wingfield Castle dans le Suffolk. Mis hors service en 1974, il devait être transformé en restaurant flottant dans la marina de Swansea au début des années 1980, mais étant trop large pour passer à travers les portes des écluses le projet n'a pas abouti. Il est aujourd'hui conservé à Hartlepool comme navire musée au Dock Jackson, dans le cadre de l'attraction touristique connue sous le nom de Hartlepool's Maritime Experience (en) comprenant également le HMS Trincomalee.
