Dei gesta per Francos Dei gesta per Francos ( " Deeds of God through the Franks " ) is a narrative of the First Crusade by Guibert of Nogent written between 1107 and 1108 . Traditionally it has not been well received by scholars , but recent translators and editors ( such as Levin 1997 and Rubenstein 2002 ) have shown it to contain important original material . " Dei gesta " was a radical departure for the type of literary work for Guibert who had previously worked on theological tracts . He decided to undertake a history of the crusade , he says , after he read an anonymous eyewitness account called " Gesta Francorum " . In the eyes of Guibert this work was rough and simple and " frequently left the reader stunned with its insipid vacuity " ( " Dei gesta " , preface ) . Guibert felt a much higher standard of grammar and diction was needed . There were some who believed it was best to leave the writing of history to those who had actually seen the events themselves , and thus were critical of Guibert ' s project . Guibert himself had said as much about 10 years earlier in a preachers manual . However he justified the book by saying if " someone objects to me that I have not seen , he can not object that I have not heard — for I truly believe that hearing is , in a way , almost as good as seeing . " ( " Dei gesta " , preface ) . Guibert personally knew crusaders , had grown up with crusaders , and had talked with them about their memories and experiences on their return . Crusade historians have traditionally not been forthcoming with favourable reviews of Guibert ' s narrative . The fact that he stays so close to the original " Gesta Francorum " , and the difficulty of his Latin , make it seem superfluous . Recent editors and translators , however , have called attention to his excellent writing and original material . More importantly , " Dei gesta " provides invaluable information about the reception of the crusade in France , both for the general public and Guibert ' s own personal reactions to the stories he heard from returning crusaders . Guibert was a rare eyewitness to the preachings of Peter the Hermit for whom he felt nothing but contempt . The hermit , he says , walked barefoot and ate no bread , but he did drink wine and eat fish . When Peter fled the siege of Antioch , most chroniclers glossed over Peter ' s flight , but Guibert spared no measure when he wrote this mocking song , wondering why Peter could not withstand the starving pressures of a siege : " Dei gesta " was not only a historical narrative but contained moral instruction ; the reader might learn lessons for his own spiritual quest . It also contained elements of prophecy , discussing how the crusade was part of the larger divine plan . Thus it was a medieval allegory work containing the four elements of allegory : literal , typological , moral , and anagogical . Like the Bible , it worked on different levels at the same time .

S8G reactor The S8G reactor is a naval reactor used by the United States Navy to provide electricity generation and propulsion on warship s . The S8G designation stands for : This nuclear reactor utilizes natural circulation which is capable of operating at a significant fraction of full power without reactor coolant pump s . The S8G reactor was designed by General Electric for use on the s . A land - based prototype of the reactor plant was built at Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory ' s Kesselring Site in West Milton , NY . The prototype was used for testing and crew training throughout the 1980s . In 1994 , the core was replaced with an S6W reactor , designed for the then - new " Seawolf " - class submarine . The prototype is equipped with an automatic reactor fill system that can flood the reactor with borated water in the event of a loss of coolant accident .
Bullet TCV The Bullet TCV or Troop - Carrying Vehicle is a light 4x4 infantry fighting vehicle ( IFV ) developed by Rhodesia in the late 1970s based on the body of the Mercedes - Benz Unimog light truck . History . At the late 1970s when the Rhodesian Bush War was entering its final phase , the Rhodesian Security Forces ( SF ) were faced with an escalation towards conventional warfare when they heard that an armoured built - up was being undertaken by the ZIPRA guerrilla organization based in neighbouring Zambia with material help from the Soviet Union . Eventually , by mid - 1979 ZIPRA had brought to strength a fairly sizeable armoured corps trained by Cuban advisors , which aligned five BRDM - 2 4x4 reconnaissance armoured cars , six to 10 T - 34 / 85 tanks and 15 BTR - 152 6x6 wheeled APCs . To deal with the potential threat of a possible conventional ground invasion from across the border , the Rhodesian Armoured Car Regiment ( RhACR ) was reorganized in 1978 , being expanded to corps strength to include additional tank and mechanized infantry squadrons . It soon became clear however , that the latter had to be provided with fast , more mobile troop - carrying vehicles ( TCV ) designed for conventional armoured warfare . The heavier home - grown TCVs – conceived primarily for the counterinsurgency role – already in service with the Rhodesian SF were found to be not entirely suitable for the task so a lighter ( and cheaper ) alternative was sought . Development . The Bullet was originally developed by the Rhodesian private firm Zambesi Coachworks Ltd of Salisbury ( now Harare ) to meet a requirement put by the Rhodesian Army for a low - cost mine - protected IFV mounted on a Unimog chassis capable of carrying 10 men . The first prototype was completed in late 1978 ( open - topped in the original design ) . General description . The second prototype presented in 1978 was a low vehicle which consisted of an all - welded body with a fully enclosed troop compartment built on a modified Mercedes - Benz U1100 Unimog 416 2 . 5 ton light truck chassis . The hull or ‘ capsule ’ was faceted at the sides and rear , and a sloping glacis at the front , designed to deflect small - arms ’ rounds , along with a v - shaped bottom meant to deflect landmine blasts . The Diamond - shaped glacis had a pair of built - in round headlights at the sides of the radiator grid , a large dual - split front windscreen and two smaller side windows of bullet - proof laminated glass . Access to the vehicle ’ s interior was made by means of two medium - sized doors at the hull rear whilst two roof hatches placed at the top of the troop compartment allowed for rapid debussing plus eight firing ports , six in the hull sides and two at the rear doors . Service history . After being rejected , it ended the war as a training vehicle for the RhACR and it was shown to the editor of Soldier of Fortune Magazine , Robert K . Brown in early 1979 .

Alexander Carr - Saunders Sir Alexander Morris Carr - Saunders , KBE , FBA ( 1886 – 1966 ) was an English biologist and sociologist . Carr - Saunders was born in Reigate , Surrey , and educated at Eton and Magdalen College , Oxford , where he gained a 1st in zoology in 1908 . He remained a year at Oxford as a demonstrator in comparative anatomy but left in 1910 to University College London where he studied biometrics under Karl Pearson . Deciding against natural science , he instead read for the Bar of the Inner Temple . Concerned about all kinds of social ills and problems , he saw a solution in Eugenics for the engineering of society into a better condition . He became the secretary of the Eugenics Education Society and lived at Toynbee Hall . When World War I broke in 1914 , he attempted to obtain a commission in the London Scottish Regiment , but was instead commissioned into the Royal Army Service Corps and was posted to a ration depot at Suez , due to the high standard of his French . After the Armistice he returned to the Oxford Zoology department , taking an interest in ecological issues , especially population and overpopulation . He participated in one of the firsts Oxford Expeditions to Spitsbergen in the Arctic in 1921 as main scientists , together with Julian Huxley . During the expedition he distilled his early ideas on population dynamics and summarized them in a book called The Population Problem . The book used a neo - Malthusian argument plus Galton ' s eugenics as the theoretical framework for a quantitative analysis of population dynamics . The population problem arose - according to Carr - Saunders analysis - from the fact of having high reproductive rates among primitive people with low mental and physical qualities . Over - population of these lower races endangered the standard of living of races bearing higher qualities . Unlike Malthus , he thought that industrial productivity and not food was the main limiting factor in human populations . The success of his magnum opus " The Population Problem " resulted in his appointment to the Charles Booth Chair of Social Science at the University of Liverpool in 1923 . In 1937 , he was appointed to succeed Sir William Beveridge as Director of the London School of Economics , and held that post until his retirement in 1955 . He served on the Royal Commission on Population , in 1944 – 1949 . Carr - Saunders was one of the mentors of the animal ecologist Charles Elton , greatly influencing Elton ' s approach toward animal ecology as a " sociology and economy of animals " Knighted in 1946 , and created FBA in 1946 and KBE in 1957 .
Tegart fort A Tegart fort is a type of militarized police fort constructed throughout Palestine during the British Mandatory period . Etymology . The forts are named after their designer , British police officer and engineer Sir Charles Tegart . In Israel , the name is often misspelled as " Taggart " . This is probably from the compound transliteration of an English name into Hebrew and then back into English . History . Sir Charles Tegart designed the forts in 1938 based on his experiences in the Indian insurgency . They were built of reinforced concrete with water systems that would allow them to withstand a month - long siege . Dozens of the structures were built according to the same basic plan , along the so - called " Tegart ' s wall " of the northern border with Lebanon and Syria , and at strategic intersections in the interior of Palestine . Many of them can still be seen in Israel today , and continue to be used as police stations and jails . One houses Camp 1391 prison for " high - risk " prisoners . In the West Bank , several such forts , nwo known as Mukataa ( , " District " ) are used as offices and administrative centers of the Palestinian National Authority . The fort in Ramallah , known as " The " Mukataa , used as Yasser Arafat ' s Presidential Headquarters , was damaged by Israeli forces in Operation Defensive Shield and the later siege , was later restored and added to under President Mahmoud Abbas , obscuring the lines of the original British structure . The fort in Hebron was used as the headquarters of the Jordanian administration between 1949 and 1967 , of the Israeli military governor between 1967 and 1997 , and of the Palestinian Authority ' s governor between 1997 and 2002 . It was destroyed in 2002 when the city was reconquered by Israeli forces in Operation Defensive Shield . The Tegart fort in Ma ' alot - Tarshiha , now a police station , is being restored as a historical landmark , attracting the attention of preservationists and tourists .

Victualling Yard The Victualling Yard was a victualling facility in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar built for supplying Royal Navy ships while anchored at Rosia Bay . History . The early history of the Victualling Yard complex is traced back to the late 18th century . At that time , the dockyard was located at the New Mole , now referred to as the South Mole , and victualling was near the Old Mole , now known as the North Mole . These facilities however , suffered great damage during the Great Siege of Gibraltar due to its proximity to the Spanish land artillery to the north . In 1799 , while residing at Rosia Parade in Gibraltar , John Jervis , 1st Earl of St Vincent , Admiral in Charge of the Mediterranean Fleet , recommended that the Royal Navy Victualling Yard be relocated to the Rosia Bay area , just south of the New Mole . Governor O ' Hara did not approve of St Vincent ' s plan as he proposed to finance it by selling the naval stores at Waterport and Irish Town . However St Vincent won . In addition to access to the bay , the site had the advantage of the protection afforded by Parson ' s Lodge Battery . It had the further advantage of being out of range of enemy gunfire from the North Front . Construction of the Rosia Water Tanks began in 1799 and was completed in 1804 by contractor Giovanni Maria Boschetti . The entire Victualling Yard complex at Rosia Bay was completed by 1812 . It formed part of the Royal Navy base and contained stores of food , water , and clothing in sufficient quantities for a large fleet . The Rosia Mole was the berthing place for the Royal Navy vessels seeking provisions and water from the Victualling Yard complex ; it also held coal for the garrison . Conservation . The entrance to the Victualling Yard complex is the only portion to be listed with the Gibraltar Heritage Trust .
