# Croydon Health Services NHS Trust

Croydon Health Services NHS Trust is an NHS trust which runs Croydon University Hospital. It also provides services at Purley War Memorial Hospital in Purley, as well as multiple clinics in the local area.
The Trust was formed in 2010 by a merger of Croydon Community Health Services and Mayday Healthcare NHS Trust.
It opened a new child development centre for children with special educational needs and disabilities in January 2017.
The trust announced plans to appoint a joint chief executive with Croydon Clinical commissioning group in May 2019, the first such appointment in England. The two organisations already share a chief nurse and a chief pharmacist.

## Services

The Trust provides all levels of secondary care, including district general care to the Croydon area. The trust provides emergency medical and non-elective surgical care, not including major trauma care, at Croydon University Hospital. There are walk-in and book ahead GUM clinic services in the adjoining Croydon Sexual Health Centre, which serve a wide area due to the closing down of neighbouring sexual health services (such as the Courtyard Clinic, previously at St. George's Hospital in Tooting.

## Performance

In October 2013 as a result of the Keogh Review the Trust was put into the highest risk category by the Care Quality Commission The Trust predicts a deficit of £12.2m in 2013-14.
It spent 7.8% of its total turnover on agency staff in 2014/5.
It was put into special measures in July 2016 because of concerns over its financial position, when it had a deficit of £36 million. It was taken out of financial special measures in February 2017, after it reduced its expected deficit to £25 million.
In 2019 it got the lowest score in England from the hospital inpatient survey, largely down to patients' experience of being discharged, despite its supposed integration with mental health services and social care. It also had the second lowest score on whether there were enough nurses.
In December 2019 it was the fifth worst performing trust in England on the 4 hour A&E target, with only 48.2% of patients seen within 4 hours.

# Qubic experiment

QUBIC is a cosmology project to study cosmic inflation by measuring the B-modes of the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), by observing the sky with a millimeter wave radio telescope interferometer. It uses bolometric interferometry, which combines the advantages of interferometry (reduction of systematic errors) and those of the bolometer detectors (high signal sensitivity). QUBIC observes the sky at two frequencies, 150 and 220 GHz, so that it can separate the cosmological signal from foreground emission, in particular thermal dust emission.
The QUBIC project began in 2008 with the merger of BRAIN and MBI projects. A technical demonstrator of the instrument is being manufactured and should be tested in France in 2017.
On 26 October 2022 the first module was installed and began operating.
QUBIC is an international collaboration involving universities and laboratories in Ireland, France, Italy, Argentina, the U.K. and the U.S.A.

## Observing instrument

The observing instrument is a millimeter wave interferometer contained in a cryostat which is cooled to 4K with pulse tube coolers, to avoid contaminating the received signal with thermal radiation. The millimeter waves pass through a 45 cm polyethylene window in the cryostat and then through a rotating half-wave plate which modulates the polarization, followed by a polarizing grid which selects one of the two polarizing angles. The radiation then passes through an array of 400 microwave horns which

## Observing site

Since millimeter waves are absorbed by water vapor in the atmosphere the device must be located at high altitudes above most of the atmosphere. The instrument has been installed at the Large Latin American Millimeter Array (LLAMA) site at Alto de Chorillo near Salta, Argentina, at an altitude of 4,825 meters (15,830 ft).

# David Burbank

David Burbank (December 17, 1821 – January 21, 1895) was an American dentist and real estate investor. He became a founder and the namesake of Burbank, California.

## Early life

Burbank was born on December 17, 1821, in Effingham, New Hampshire. He had one brother, Franklin Burbank. His family moved to Waterville, Maine, when he was a child. He studied dentistry, and entered into the practice. Burbank moved to San Francisco, California, in 1853, and practiced dentistry there until 1866.

## Burbank, California

Burbank moved to Los Angeles in 1866. He bought 4,600 acres (1,900 ha) of Rancho Providencia on March 20, 1867, from David W. Alexander and Alexander Bell. Burbank also bought about 4,000 acres (1,600 ha) of Rancho San Rafael from Jonathan R. Scott that year. He united the two tracts and operated it as a sheep ranch.
In 1873, Burbank sold the right-of-way through the property to the Southern Pacific Railroad. He donated 1 acre (0.40 ha) of land to build a school in 1879, establishing the Providencia School District. In the early 1880s, he stopped raising sheep and rented out the land for farming.
In 1886, Burbank sold both tracts to Providencia Land, Water, and Development Co., of which he was a member, for $150,000 (equivalent to $5,100,000 in 2023). The corporation filed paperwork establishing the "Town of Burbank" on May 1, 1887.
Burbank built a hotel in the town in 1887. He also commissioned the construction of the Burbank Theatre on Main Street in 1888, which was completed in 1893.

## Later life and legacy

Burbank and his wife, Clara, had a daughter, named Flora. He continued to practice dentistry until 1872.
Burbank fell ill on January 5, 1895. He died at his home on January 21. He was interred at Angelus-Rosedale Cemetery.
The city of Burbank commissioned a 12-foot (3.7 m) bronze statue of Burbank from Andrea Favilli. It was dedicated at 1075 West Burbank Boulevard in 2010.

# Roland Greefkes

Roland Cornelis Greefkes (May 27, 1941 – August 17, 2021) was a Dutch-American master iron smith.

## Biography

Born in The Hague, Netherlands, he was the son of Marie Johanna Veltman Greefkes and Cornelis Greefkes, the foremost art smith in the Netherlands after World War II. He earned a degree in chemical engineering from the University of Toronto in 1968, and later spent several years traveling in the Middle East and India before returning to the Netherlands to work with his father. Upon emigrating to the United States in 1977, he worked for several years in Baltimore, then established Aesthetica, his smithy in Gilbertsville, New York, bearing the same name as his late father's smithy in The Hague.
Greefkes was married to Charlotte Walker, an author and English professor, until her death on January 1, 2021. Greefkes died at a hospital in Cooperstown, New York on August 17, 2021, of complications from a fall.

## Works

His wrought iron work is characterized by strong representations of nature, freely interpreted in his own style, yet rooted in his father's Art Deco influence. To quote an article by Lee Fleming in Garden Design Magazine,
   "Although schooled in the design traditions of the past, Greefkes finds inspiration in the evanescent drama of the natural world that surrounds his forge. ... His designs are dynamic; the natural world they mirror is active, evolving, and often filled with humorous visual anecdotes." (September/October, 1993)
Some of his major works included a driveway gate for Yoko Ono, a firescreen for Bette Midler, firescreens for Blythe Danner and Bruce Paltrow, and a table for Eagles guitarist Don Felder. His "Paradise Gate", an intricate garden gate commissioned by Australian fantasy writer Sara Douglass, is installed in her garden in Tasmania. His liturgical wrought iron pieces are in several churches up and down the East Coast of the United States.
