# The Black Box (novel)

The Black Box is the 25th novel by American crime author Michael Connelly, and the sixteenth novel featuring Los Angeles Police Department detective Harry Bosch. The book was published on 26 November 2012, "in part to honor the 20th anniversary of the character".

## Plot

Bosch tackles a 20-year-old cold case which took place during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. A white photojournalist is found killed near a burned-out store. Harry Bosch and Jerry Edgar were the original detectives called out to the scene. Riots Task Force later took up the case but it remained unsolved over the years. The case is reopened when Harry matches a shell casing he discovered at the scene to three other murders. Attempts to stall Harry's investigation by his supervisor as well as the police chief, to avoid a bad publicity fallout, fail. In his personal life, Harry's daughter Maddie says she wants to become a member of the LAPD, after having expressed an interest in a law enforcement career in The Drop. The story also introduces a part-time recurring character, Nancy Mendenhall, an IAD investigator. The 'Black Box', just like ones in the airlines, refers to the piece of the puzzle that will tie all ends together.

Ofsted found a school that pupils enjoyed and met with parental aspirations, that they deemed satisfactory/ They found good safeguarding, good behaviour and a good focused curriculum. They were critical that in spite of effective action by the staff, external examination results were below the national average, and the pupils were consistently underachieving.

## Governance

Managed by The Kemnal Academies Trust, a large multi-academy trust with 45 schools under its wing. 15 are secondary and 30 primary.

## Academics

In 2016, Ofsted rated this as a good school. It now recognises that pupils enter the school with below average levels of achievement, but counting in all their examinations, by the end of Year 11, their outcomes are above national averages. Pupils want to learn, and have good relations with the staff. The staff are knowledgeable and prepare appropriate interesting lessons.

## Sport

The school is also the home to the Medway Netball League and Junior Netball League. Its large netball centre has eight floodlit courts (which are also suitable for tennis). In 2013, the school football team reached the final of the Npower Football League Girls Cup in Wembley Stadium. They played against a Derby County school.
The school also offers lettings to external businesses - such as pilates classes for adults - after school hours.

# Stabilisation Tracking Mechanism

Stabilisation Tracking Mechanism is the mirror instrument of the Stabilisation and Association Process (SAP) for Kosovo. Kosovo, a disputed province of Serbia under international administration that in 2008 unilaterally declared independence and received partial recognition, still not having a final status, was not able to commence with SAP. To ensure that the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government (PISG) follow EU-compatible practices in the political, economic and sectoral reform process, UNMIK and the European Commission agreed that an instrument was needed to monitor and drive the process. Although developments within Kosovo are not only a matter of reform, it was deemed profitable for the PISG and UNMIK to follow the methodology and substance of the SAP and thus avoid isolation from the mainstream of European integration.
To that end, on 6 November 2002, the European Commission commenced the so-called Stabilisation and Association Process Tracking Mechanism (STM). The STM constitutes a parallel track to the EU's regular SAP and is intended to help the authorities in Kosovo to prepare for reinforced policy-making relations within the framework of the SAP. It will ensure that Kosovo is not isolated from the path of EU-compatible transition and development of Southeast Europe. The process aims at building an institutional, legislative, economic and social framework directed by the values and models subscribed to by the EU, as well as at promoting the transition to a market economy.
As of 2008 15 STM meetings have taken place, the latest in December 2008. The 6th STM meeting was held on 16 February 2005 in Priština. It was the first meeting with the newly elected government. For the first time, specific sector workshops on energy and economy were organised on the margin of the STM main meeting.
The 7th STM meeting took place on 3 May 2005 in Priština. Focus of the meeting was on the progress made on the Kosovo Action Plan for the Implementation of the European Partnership. Everybody considered the improvement of Kosovo's economic situation as being crucial for its development. Further emphasis was put on the significance of Kosovo's further regional integration, not solely as a means to enhance economic development, but also as an important contribution towards peace and stability throughout the region.
In June 2005 the Second Progress Report on the Kosovo Action Plan for the Implementation of the European Partnership was submitted to the European Commission as input to the Commission's SAP Report. The next STM meeting is scheduled for October 2005.
In 2008 the Commission confirmed that it would conduct a "feasibility study." A feasibility study is traditionally the first step in the Stabilisation and Association Process, the tool the EU uses to help prepare potential candidates in the Western Balkans for membership of the EU.
# Lake Killian

Lake Killian is a small kettle lake wholly encompassed by Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan Scout Reservation in Pearson, Wisconsin. It is a central geographic feature of the camp, dividing it into East Camp and West Camp on opposing sides of the lake. Both East Camp and West Camp maintain aquatics facilities where campers can complete various merit badges. The lake is used by scouts on both sides of the lake for fishing, swimming, and boating. Spring Lake Road, which goes through the scout reservation, is named for the lake.

## Hydrology

Lake Killian receives all of its water from springs and precipitation; the only outflow is Skid's Creek on the west side of the lake. Skid's Creek drains from so far north in the lake that water in the southern basin has a significantly greater residence time than more northern waters.

## Bathymetry

The bathymetric character of Lake Killian is dominated by a shallow northern third, with depths under 3 metres. The lake steadily deepens moving toward its center, with a deep central basin of 5 metres' depth or deeper occupying the central third. The southern and eastern portions of the lake are generally deeper than the northern and western regions. A large sandbar, less than a metre under the surface and stretching a hundred metres from end to end, dominates the southwestern extremity of the lake and is surrounded by comparatively shallow waters. The deep central basin of the lake plunges to a maximum of 7.6 metres (25 ft), though the average depth is much shallower, only 3.6 metres (12 ft).
# Lake Kimihia

Lake Kimihia is located approximately 5 km to the Northeast of Huntly, in the Waikato Region of New Zealand. Lake Kimihia is a riverine lake, which links to the Waikato River.
Lake Kimihia was significantly modified as a result of open cast coal mining, around the early 1940s. A cofferdam was built to allow mining over most of the bed, by reducing the lake from its previous 318 ha (790 acres). In the 1960s there were two lakes, but the westerly one has been replaced by a wetland.
The lake is situated within predominantly pastoral land. An area at the southern end of the lake is being developed into a wetland, as the Huntly bypass of the Waikato Expressway is built across part of the former lakebed.
# Lamartine Place Historic District

The Lamartine Place Historic District is a small historic district located between Eighth and Ninth Avenues in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It was designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission on October 13, 2009, and includes twelve mid-19th century rowhouses on the north side of West 29th Street from number 333 on the east end to number 355 on the west end.
"Lamartine Place" was a name given to the street by the developers, William Torrey and Cyrus Mason, in order to give their project an identity distinct from the Manhattan street grid. The name honored the French writer, poet and politician Alphonse de Lamartine, who was instrumental in the foundation of the French Second Republic. As part of their efforts, Torrey and Mason constructed a park on the east end of the block, between 28th Street – which they were also developing as "Fitzroy Place" – and 29th Street. The park, which was called Lamartine Park, enhanced the desirability of the townhouses as homes, and this name and Lamartine Place appeared on maps until 1902.
Wanting the same kind of continuity of design they have achieved at their earlier development at London Terrace on 24th Street between Ninth and Tenth Avenues, Torrey and Mason included covenants which limited the types of buildings that could be built on Lamartine Place. The units they built and sold were all Greek Revival rowhouses with consistent heights and setbacks; most of these were completed by 1849, while seven buildings at the western end were not finished until around 1852. Most of the buildings that remain today have been altered since, often with Renaissance revival elements.
