Eustace III , Count of Boulogne Eustace III , was a count of Boulogne , successor to his father Count Eustace II of Boulogne . His mother was Ida of Lorraine . His father Eustace II appeared at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 as an ally of William the Conqueror , and is listed as a possible killer of Harold II ; he is also believed to have given William his own horse after the duke ' s was killed under him by Gyrth , brother of Harold . Eustace III succeeded as Count of Boulogne in 1087 . He went on the First Crusade in 1096 with his brothers Godfrey of Bouillon ( duke of Lower Lotharingia ) and Baldwin of Boulogne . He soon returned to Europe to administer his domains . He married Mary of Scotland , daughter of King Malcolm III of Scotland , and Saint Margaret of Scotland . Eustace and Mary had one daughter , Matilda of Boulogne . When his youngest brother king Baldwin I of Jerusalem died in 1118 , the elderly Eustace was offered the throne . Eustace was at first uninterested , but was convinced to accept it ; he travelled all the way to Apulia before learning that a distant relative , Baldwin of Bourcq , had been crowned in the meantime . Eustace returned to Boulogne and died about 1125 . On his death the county of Boulogne was inherited by his daughter , Matilda , and her husband Stephen de Blois , count of Mortain , afterwards king of England , and at the death of Matilda in 1152 it was inherited by their son , Eustace IV of Boulogne , later their second son William and ultimately by their daughter Marie of Boulogne , since both sons died without children .
Caister Castle Caister Castle is a 15th - century moat ed castle situated in the parish of West Caister , some north of the town of Great Yarmouth in the English county of Norfolk ( ) . The castle had a 100 ft ( 33 m ) high tower and was built between 1432 and 1446 by Sir John Fastolf , who was the inspiration for William Shakespeare ' s " Falstaff . " Fastolf was the recipient of one of the five licences to crenellate , authorising the building of a fortified dwelling , issued by Henry VI , during his 50 years ' reign . The castle suffered severe damage in 1469 when it was besieged and captured by the Duke of Norfolk . The castle , other than the tower , fell into ruin after 1600 when a new house was built nearby . The castle ' s tower is still intact and can be climbed by visitors . Paston Letters . Sir John Fastolf intended that the castle should be converted into an enormous chantry , to pray for his soul and that of his nearest and dearest ; but as a result of various disputes about his will , it devolved instead to the Paston family , while the bulk of Fastolf ' s money went to endow Magdalen College in Oxford . Consequently , the castle features extensively in the ' Paston Letters ' , a unique collection of family correspondence covering the period of the Wars of the Roses , documenting the Paston family ' s struggles to climb and maintain position on the English social ladder . John Paston was a close confidante and advisor to Sir John Fastolf . Sir John died childless , and intestate ; the castle was one of many properties in his estate . John Paston , with some justification , claimed to be his heir ; this put him in direct conflict with various major players of the time , such as the Duke of Norfolk and Sir William Yelverton . As a result the castle was besieged in August 1469 by the Duke - in pursuit of his own claim of ownership - and defended by John Paston junior and approximately 30 men . The two - month defence was unsuccessful , resulting in the death of one of the Paston ' s longest serving servants by a crossbow wound and the loss of the castle to the Duke . Some years later , the castle was ultimately returned to the Paston family ' s ownership . Caister Castle Motor Museum . The Caister Castle Motor Museum features a private collection of veteran , vintage , classic , sports and touring automobiles and motorcycles . The museum also displays bicycles , horse - drawn vehicle s , pedal cars , agriculture equipment and transportation items . The exhibits are located in a purpose - built building . Admission to the castle includes the museum , castle tower and grounds . External links . < BR >

Semyon Lavochkin Semyon Alekseyevich Lavochkin ( ; September 11 , 1900 - June 9 , 1960 ) , a Soviet aerospace engineer , Soviet aircraft designer who founded the Lavochkin aircraft design bureau . Many of his fighter designs were produced in large numbers for Soviet forces during World War II . Biography . Lavochkin was born to a Jewish family of teachers in Smolensk . After graduation in 1918 , he enlisted in the Red Army and served in the infantry in the Russian Civil War . In 1920 , he began studies at the Moscow State Technical University , from which he graduated in 1927 . He then served for two years as an intern at the design department of the TsAGI Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute under the direction of Andrei Tupolev , where he assisted in the design of the Tupolev TB - 3 heavy bomber . While at TsAGI , he his colleagues included the French seaplane designer Paul Richard , as well as Mikhail Gurevich and Nikolai Kamov . In the early 1930s , he transferred to the Central Design Office , where he was assigned work on stratospheric aircraft and balloons , and pressurized cockpits . However , as he came increasingly interested in the design of fighter aircraft , he moved to the design office of Dmitry Pavlovich Grigorovich , whom he assisted in the development of the Grigorovich I - Z fighter . In 1938 , after combat experiences in the Spanish Civil War and at the Battles of Khalkhin Gol against the Japanese , it became clear that the Soviet fighter designs were lagging behind international standards . Lavochkin established his own design bureau in 1939 . Starting with the LaGG - 1 , he produced thousands of fighters which formed the backbone of the Soviet Air Force during the Second World War . He is especially known for the La - 5 and La - 7 , which are among the best Soviet fighter aircraft of World War II . The top Allied ace , Ivan Kozhedub shot down 62 German airplanes , flying in fighters designed by Lavochkin . From 1941 to 1945 a total of over 22 , 000 Lavochkin fighters were produced . However , Lavochkin ' s fortunes faded after the war . His La - 9 and La - 11 were the last piston - engined fighters in Soviet service , and were replaced after a short time by jets . Although he continued pioneering work in this field ( the La - 176 was the first Soviet supersonic aircraft ) , his aircraft consistently placed second in competitions with other design bureaux , notably that of Artem Ivanovich Mikoyan . After his death , due to a heart attack during a test of an air defense system in the Kazakh SSR at the age of 60 , the focus of the design office shifted to surface to air missile s ( most notably the SA - 2 Guideline ) , and to space projects . In 1944 , Lavochkin was given the honorary rank of Major - General of Engineering / Technical Service . From 1950 - 1958 , Lavochkin also served as a deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR . He also became an Academician of USSR Academy of Sciences in 1958 . He died in was buried in the Novodevichy Cemetery .

Taxiles ( general ) Taxiles ( in Greek Tαξιλης ; lived 1st century BC ) was a general in the service of Mithridates VI of Pontus , and one of those in whom he reposed the highest confidence . He is first mentioned in 86 BC , when he was sent by Mithridates , with an army of not less than 110 , 000 men , to Europe , to make his way , through Thrace and Macedonia , to the assistance of Archelaus in Greece . This task he successfully accomplished , reduced Amphipolis , which had at first defied his arms , and having thus struck terror into the Macedonians , advanced without further opposition , through that country and Thessaly , into Phocis . Here he at first laid siege to Elateia , but was foiled in his attacks , and relinquished the enterprise , in order to form a junction with Archelaus in Boeotia . This object lie effected : but though the two generals now found themselves at the head of a formidable host , their combined forces were defeated in 86 BC by Sulla near Chaeronea , with great slaughter . From this time we hear no more of Taxiles till 74 BC , when he commanded ( together with Hermocrates ) the great army with which Mithridates invaded Paphlagonia and Bithynia , in the autumn of that year . During the subsequent operations at the siege of Cyzicus , he is mentioned as giving the king the most judicious advice . After the defeat of the king and his retreat into his own territories , we again find Taxiles sharing with Diophantus the actual command of the army which Mithridates opposed to Lucullus near Cabira , 72 BC , where their skilful arrangements for a time held the balance of success doubtful , and reduced the Roman general to considerable straits for provisions . At length , however , the campaign was terminated by a total rout , in which the royal camp fell into the hands of the enemy . Taxiles accompanied Mithridates on his flight into Armenia , and we subsequently ( 69 BC ) find him mentioned as present with Tigranes at the great battle of Tigranocerta , on which occasion he in vain endeavoured to restrain the overweening confidence of the Armenian monarch . This is the last time that his name occurs in history .

Navy Personnel Research , Studies , and Technology Navy Personnel Research , Studies , and Technology ( NPRST ) is a division of the United States Bureau of Naval Personnel . Since 1946 , NPRST or its predecessors have served as a personnel policy laboratory for the Navy . The mission of NPRST is : " “ To improve Sailor , team , and unit readiness by responsibly delivering innovative science and technology that improves the efficiency and effectiveness of Navy human resource functions and processes . ” " As of October 2012 , NPRST employs 58 government workers , service men and women , and contractors on site in Millington , Tennessee to complete the mission , with additional contractors located elsewhere for individual projects . NPRST is a fee - for - service entity , meaning that they are not directly funded by Department of Defense budgets ; funding for projects is redirected from the sponsor of the project , usually through the use of a Military Interdepartmental Purchase Request ( MIPR ) . History . NPRST can be traced back to 1946 , when its predecessor was located in the Washington Navy Yard as Personnel Research Detachment . In 1962 , it was formally established as Personnel Research Laboratory . In 1973 , SECNAV established the Navy Personnel Research & Development Center ( NPRDC ) in San Diego , CA “ as a centralized organization for managing , coordinating , and conducing R & D in the areas of Manpower , Personnel , Training , and Human Factors Engineering . " In the late 1980s , the human factors function was transferred to another R & D lab . In 1995 , the Base Realignment and Closure Commission ( BRAC - IV ) recommended that NPRDC be disestablished and realigned ; the training mission was realigned to NAWCTSD while the manpower and personnel research mission was realigned to Navy Personnel Command . In 1999 , NPRST was formally established as a department of NPC . In 2005 , the function was realigned from NPC to BUPERS Echelon 2 . Research Areas . NPRST research has historically covered 11 broad areas covering the entire spectrum of human resources . Program Assessments and Surveys . The Navy Pregnancy and Parenthood Survey collects information about parenthood , family planning , and birth control from both men and women , and gathers additional information about pregnancy from women . These data are not readily available in current Navy databases . It has been administered about every two years since 1988 , and was most recently administered in 2010 .
Ready service ammunition Ready service ammunition is that ammunition located in close proximity to a military or naval gun and is stored in such a manner that it is ready for quick use . Boxes located near a gun are sometimes termed ready boxes . They are designed to keep a small amount of ammunition dry and free of contaminants while affording ready access by gun crews . Larger amounts of ammunition that would not be immediately used in an emergency situation are normally stored in an ammunition magazine away from the immediate area of use for safety reasons as well as to keep the ammunition free from environmental contamination .
USS Nevada ( SSBN - 733 ) USS " Nevada " ( SSBN - 733 ) is a United States Navy ballistic missile submarine that has been in commission since 1986 . She is the fourth ship of the U . S . Navy to be named for Nevada , the 36th state . Construction and commissioning . The contract to build " Nevada " was awarded to the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation in Groton , Connecticut , on 7 January 1981 and her keel was laid down there on 8 August 1983 . She was launched on 14 September 1985 sponsored by Mrs . Carol Laxalt , the wife of United States Senator Paul Laxalt of Nevada , and commissioned on 16 August 1986 , with Captain F . W . Rohm in command of the Blue Crew and Captain William Stone in command of the Gold Crew . Service history . During the night of 1 – 2 August 2006 , " Nevada " was operating at periscope depth in the Strait of Juan de Fuca when she snagged and broke the 500 - foot ( 150 - metre ) towline between the tug " Phyllis Dunlap " and one of two barges carrying empty containers that " Phyllis Dunlap " was towing from Honolulu , Hawaii , to Seattle , Washington . Fiberglass portions of " Nevada " s sail were damaged , and a second tug had to recover the drifting barge . In both 2006 and 2007 , " Nevada " s Crew was awarded with the Battle Efficiency Award ( Battle " E " ) . This award is given to the best submarine in its respective submarine squadron and is determined based on performance in inspections for tactical readiness and nuclear reactor safety , among other factors . In February 2008 , Nevada entered Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility , Bremerton Site for a regularly scheduled Engineering Refueling Overhaul . The ' Green ' crew worked for nearly 30 months on the refit and refuel until they were separated back to the ' Gold ' and ' Blue ' crews on 21 July 2010 in preparation for workups and sea trials .
HMS Pendennis ( 1695 ) HMS " Pendennis " was a 50 - gun fourth rate ship of the line of the English Royal Navy , built by Robert and John Castle at Deptford , and launched in 1695 . The " Pendennis " was captured by two French 50 - gun ships off the Dogger Bank in October 1705 .
Ronald Paul Bucca Ronald Paul Bucca ( May 6 , 1954 – September 11 , 2001 ) was a New York City Fire Department Marshal killed during the September 11 attacks . He is the only fire marshal in the history of the New York City Fire Department to be killed in the line of duty . Military career . Bucca had served in the United States Army as a Green Beret during the Vietnam War . Later , he would serve the Defense Intelligence Agency as an analyst . Becoming a reservist in 1986 , he joined the FDNY . He was subsequently injured on the job , which cost him his qualifications as a paratrooper and ended his eligibility with the Army Special Forces , causing him to leave the service . Firefighting career . Bucca was a 22 - year veteran of the department ; he was promoted to Fire Marshal in 1992 . As such , he was one of the individuals that investigated the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the FDNY representative on the Joint Terrorism Task Force . By 2000 , the fire department ' s seat was removed , and Bucca ' s position there relinquished . After responding to the September 11 , 2001 attacks , Bucca ascended to the impact zone at the Sky Lobby on the 78th floor of the South Tower of the World Trade Center , along with Battalion Chief Orio Palmer . The two men , both experienced marathon runners , are believed to have made it to the highest floor of any first responders in either tower before the building collapsed . Legacy . In 2003 , military police named the principal POW holding camp in Iraq " Camp Bucca " after Bucca . At the National 9 / 11 Memorial , Bucca is memorialized at the South Pool , on Panel S - 14 , along with those of other first responders killed in the attacks .
Committee of Imperial Defence The Committee of Imperial Defence was an important " ad hoc " part of the government of the United Kingdom and the British Empire from just after the Second Boer War until the start of the Second World War . It was responsible for research , and some co - ordination , on issues of military strategy . Typically , a temporary sub - committee would be set up to investigate and report at length on a specific topic . A large number of such sub - committees were engendered over the decades , on topics such as foreign espionage ( a Committee report in 1909 led to the founding of MI5 and MI6 ) , food rationing , and aerial defence . History . The Committee was established in 1902 by Arthur Balfour , then British Prime Minister , following the recommendations of the Elgin Committee , chaired by Lord Elgin . It was intended as an advisory committee for the Prime Minister , one that would be small and flexible ; it replaced the ' s decrepit Defence Committee , which had usually only met during periods of crisis . The original concept was to create a strategic vision defining the future roles of the two military services , the Royal Navy and the British Army , after the military reductions in the wake of the Boer War . However , no arrangements were made for it to formally pass on its conclusions to those with the ability to translate them into actions . This lack soon became obvious enough that a Secretariat was appointed , under Sir George Clarke . However , far from simply acting as a communicator , Clarke expected actually to make policy and see it implemented . With the fall of the Balfour Government in 1906 , and with the military services determined to control their own futures , Clarke ' s plans fell through , and with no support from the incoming Prime Minister , he resigned in 1907 . The Secretariat carried on , largely as a forum for communication on lesser matters between those service members who would speak to each other , and with civil servants . Under the guidance of Maurice Hankey , the Committee slowly gained in importance . Hankey was appointed Naval Assistant Secretary to the Committee in 1908 , and became Secretary to the Committee in 1912 ; he would hold that position for the next twenty - six years . By 1914 , the Committee had begun to act as a defence planning agency for the whole British Empire , consequently providing advice to the Dominions on occasion . It continued to perform such a role into the 1920s . It was effectively a peacetime defence planning system , one which only provided advice ; formal authority remained with Ministers and service chiefs , which helped ensure the Committee ' s acceptability to the existing bureaucracy . Chaired by the Prime Minister , members were usually cabinet ministers , the heads of the military services , and key civil servants ; Prime Ministers from Dominion countries were " de facto " members of the Committee in peacetime as well . The Committee was wound up following the outbreak of the Second World War . See also . Imperial War Cabinet
