Student Spaceflight Experiments Program. The Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP) provides an opportunity for student groups from upper elementary school through university to design and fly microgravity experiments in low Earth orbit (LEO). SSEP is a program of the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education (NCESSE, a project of the Tides Center), the Arthur C. Clarke Institute for Space Education, and the private space hardware company NanoRacks. SSEP operates under a Space Act Agreement between the sponsoring organizations and NASA, allowing the  International Space Station (ISS) to be utilized as a national laboratory.

History
The program was launched in June 2010, by NCESSE in the U.S. and by the Clarke Institute internationally. , SSEP has sponsored fourteen missions to LEO – two on board the Space Shuttle, and twelve to the ISS – with a thirteenth mission to the ISS announced in March 2018, and expected to fly in the spring/summer of 2019.

In the first fourteen SSEP flight opportunities, 86,800 students in grades 5 through 16 (senior undergraduate in the U.S. higher education system) participated in experiment design and proposal writing. Of 18,759 proposals received, a total of 240 experiments were selected for flight, with one from each community participating in each flight opportunity. , 206 of these experiments have been successfully launched. The 18 experiments comprising Mission 6 to the ISS were lost when the Cygnus CRS Orb-3 vehicle exploded shortly after launch on 28 October 2014.

Key dates

Process
The competition to select student projects for flight is designed to resemble a standard research proposal process. Interested groups must submit proposals in response to announced criteria; these proposals are then peer-reviewed against the criteria in a two-stage selection process, with the vast majority of proposals rejected.

Each selected experiment is provided with one mini-laboratory, which is flown on the ISS and then returned to Earth for analysis. Experiments selected for flight have included research into crystal growth, composting, cell division, seed germination, and calcium metabolism. The cost of each experiment is on the order of US$24,500, which must be raised by the community developing the experiment.

Students have an opportunity to share their research at a national conference sponsored by the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, NCESSE, and the Clarke Institute. Students participating in the program have also been given the chance to participate in a videoconference with space station astronauts.

Houk Manufacturing Company. Houk Manufacturing Company, also known as Houk Wire Wheel Corporation, is a historic factory complex located at Buffalo in Erie County, New York. It consists of one- and two-story, brick factory buildings in a complex built in stages between 1910 and 1930. The original L-shaped complex built in 1910 consists of the two-story office building with an Ionic order portico, one-story machine shop, one-story warehouse, and one-story forge shop.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.

2013 
The building was purchased by developer Rocco Termini under his company Signature Development for approximately $300,000.00 USD.

During renovations the building was designed for 22 residential units and 2 commercial units. There are 11 residential units on each floor and commercial spaces exist on the first floor on the south east corner.

A black and white wheat paste mural was added to a cylinder block wall for marketing. The mural was a nod to the art deco era when Houk Manufacturing was at its prime.

2015

By 2015 the mural was almost completely gone from deterioration due to weather and has not been replaced to date (2021).

2016

Extensive and ongoing internal leaks around the new windows were reported. It appears that red siding was added to the top of entire second floor above the windows as a way to stop the water, although it has not been returned to the historic brick that was important to maintain the integrity of the historical brick.

It appears concrete was used for repointing during the restoration which has led to deterioration of brick material.

2021

In 2021 a large painted mural was added onto the exterior historic brick outside of the commercial spaces, which also diminished the historical integrity if the brick. 

2021

After several years of restoration work the Pierce Arrow building which  was the beneficiary of Houk Wire Wheels was developed into the Pierce Arrow Lofts. During planning, about 100 residential units were in the works. (needs confirmation).

2022

McGuire Group Development purchased the building across from Houk Lofts for approximately $785,000.00 USD after Buerk Tool closed abruptly in 2019. 

According to local news sources, the building will be turned into 33 market rate residential units and no commercial units. The modern name of the building will be the Vintage Flats according to a construction sign around the site.

NeXT Introduction. The NeXT Introduction, sub-titled "the Introduction to the NeXT Generation of Computers for Education", was a lavish, invitation-only gala launch event for the NeXT Computer (also called the NeXT Computer System). It was described as a multimedia extravaganza. It was held at the Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco, California on Wednesday October 12, 1988. The event ran from 9:30am till 12 noon. Attendees were all given a unique launch event poster.

After Steve Jobs departed Apple three years prior to this event, he sank from sight only emerging once in 1986 to unveil the NeXT logo and once in early 1987 to announce that H. Ross Perot had invested $20 million in NeXT inc. Otherwise, Steve Jobs shunned public appearances at computer-industry events to avoid having to comment publicly about his new company's activities. But then he re-emerged with this launch in what was described as having "the subtlety of a Hollywood première" in what was his first major public appearance since leaving Apple. Jobs hired multimedia artist George Coates to stage the unveiling.

At the time, the event was considered the launch of not just a new computer, but also a new Steve Jobs. With Jobs himself telling his audience "It's great to be back."

More than 3000 invitations were sent out to educators, software developers & reporters for the launch event but not a single Apple employee was invited.

The company rented the Davies Symphony Hall, supposedly because of its good acoustics, to show off the DSPs that allowed the Cube to play full stereo sound. The machine played a duet with one of the symphony's violinists.

Jobs opened the show with a purpose-built animation built by NeXT UI Architect Keith Ohlfs, demonstrating the history of computer interfaces and the multi-tasking capabilities of the NeXT computer.

The following day October 13 saw the follow-up event "The NeXT Day" where selected educators and software developers were invited (for $100 registration fee) to send up to four key individuals to attend the first public technical overview of the NeXT computer which was held at the San Francisco Hilton. This event gave developers interested in developing NeXT software an insight into the software architecture, object-oriented programming and developing for the NeXT Computer. The luncheon speaker was Steve Jobs.

The program was designed for experienced developers and provided a technical overview of the NeXT software architecture and development environment.

This Launch event was replicated at other venues over the following days at other locations such as Boston's Symphony Hall and University of California, Riverside.

Agenda

Each attendee received an agenda for the day:

Launch poster

The launch poster was given to delegates of the launch event. It measured 37" by 17" and was printed on heavy poster paper. The poster's design consisted of a NeXT Computer, Screen, Keyboard, Mouse and Laser Printer. It also incorporated the NeXT logo designed by Paul Rand and the text "October 12, 1988 - Computing Advances To The NeXT Level".

Genplan Institute of Moscow. The State Unitary Enterprise - Moscow General Planning Research and Project Institute (), also known as the Genplan Institute of Moscow () is a scientific research and design organization of the city of Moscow.

Genplan has five branch divisions: social and economic, ecological, architectural and planning, methodology of urban planning engineering, division of transport infrastructure, information system and automatization.

Genplan can performs functions of customer-developer, organizations of general designer and contractor, carry out geodesic and cartographic activity, render services in the field of protection of State secret, expert and consulting services for individuals and legal entities for town-planning and design activity.

History

In 1918, several architectural workshops led by Alexei Shchusev and Ivan Zholtovsky were created under the Moscow Council. In 1932, the Architectural and Planning Committee was created under Presidium of the executive committee of the City and Moscow Council. Afterwards, the Planning Department of Moscow Council was formed in 1933, as well as of 11 planning workshops.

In 1941, the Architectural and planning Department of Moscow Council (AGTU) has been formed. Ten years later, by decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR “on enlargement of town-planning organizations and liquidation of small design offices” was adopted on April 6, 1951. Similar documents were prepared by Moscow City Executive Committee on May 10, 1951, as well as the Department for Architecture affairs – on May 17, 1951.

As a result, in June 1951, Genplan was created. The ten year reconstruction plan of Moscow served as the basis for working out the various variants of siting, carrying out their comparative technical and economic analysis. On 1 February 1952, the Government of the USSR approved the 1951-1960 master plan. The 1952 master plan, as well as the previous one, pointed out the necessity to form a protective green zone near the borders of the capital. The idea of construction of a ring road around Moscow was also broached.

William Etheridge. William Etheridge (baptised 3 January 1708 – 3 October 1776) was an English civil engineer and architect, best known for his work on several wooden bridges of mathematical design.

Biography
William Etheridge was born around 1708 in a small village of Fressingfield, Suffolk, England. His parents were Charles Etheridge and Elizabeth Brett. He came from a long line of carpenters from Fressingfield and Stradbroke.

From 1744–1749, he worked on the supporting wooden structures during the construction of the Westminster Bridge, first as a foreman and then as the master carpenter.

Around 1748, he designed Old Walton Bridge.

Sometime before 1750, he designed the Old Bridge at Coleraine, Northern Ireland.

In 1752, George Semple consulted Etheridge on the rebuilding of Essex Bridge in Dublin.

Etheridge died on the 3 October 1776 in Westminster.

Westminster Bridge

Old Walton Bridge

In 1747, businessman and plantation owner Samuel Dicker moved from Jamaica to a newly acquired estate in Mount Felix near Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, England. In order to facilitate easier access to his new home, he lobbied for an Act of Parliament, the Walton-Shepperton Bridge (Building and Tolls) Act 1746 (20 Geo. 2. c. 22) granting him rights to build a bridge and collect tolls on the spot.

The resulting latticework wooden bridge, known as Old Walton Bridge was designed by William Etheridge and built by Mr White of Weybridge between 1748 and 1750. When it opened, its central span of 130 feet was the longest in Britain (succeeded in 1756 by William Edwards's 140 feet long single-arch Pontypridd Bridge). At the time, it was widely admired for its "strength, contrivance and remarkable great arch" and was even dubbed "the most beautiful wooden arch in the world" by one observer.

The bridge was depicted by contemporary painters, most famously in two pictures by Canaletto.

Despite Dicker's initial projections of 200 years lifetime, a 1778 survey found the bridge to be severely decayed. It was soon demolished and replaced by a brick-and-stone version built in 1783–1786.

Mathematical Bridge

The Mathematical Bridge is the popular name of a wooden footbridge in central Cambridge. It bridges the River Cam, connecting two parts of Queens' College, Cambridge. The bridge was designed by Etheridge and built by James Essex in 1749.

Old Coleraine Bridge
Sometime before 1750, Etheridge designed the Old Bridge over River Bann at Coleraine, Northern Ireland. It was a timber construction on masonry piers, replacing an earlier bridge damaged in 1732.

Okere Falls Power Station. Okere Falls Power Station is a hydroelectric power station that came into production in May 1901, bringing electricity to Rotorua. At the time, Rotorua was only the fourth town in New Zealand to have electricity. The power station was the first power station built by the New Zealand government, and it remained in operation until 1936.

History
With Rotorua's expanding tourism industry in the 19th century, demand grew for having electrical lighting. In 1897, land was secured at Okere Falls for a powerhouse, followed by a tender in 1899 to build a hydro-electric power plant.

Rotorua's demand for electricity grew rapidly and by 1907 could not be met by the existing turbine anymore. In 1908, a new wing dam out from the head gates into the river was completed, bringing in enough water to run a second  turbine, doubling the station's output to . Each of the 'Waverley' horizontal turbines was connected by leather belts to two  generators

Today, a viewing platform overlooking the Okere Falls waterfall also takes in the remains of the original dynamo house. In 1995, one of the old 100 kW turbines was retrieved from the riverbank through the same cutting that was originally used to lower it to the dynamo house.  It is now on display at the start of the Okere Falls track.
