Space Test and Training Range. The Space Test and Training Range (STTR) is a space electronic warfare range controlled by the United States Space Force and is located at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado.  The 25th Space Range Squadron and their reserve associate unit, the 379th Space Range Squadron operate and maintain the STTR.

Mission
The mission of the STTR is mainly operated out of the Space Range Operations Center (SROC) but the space range is also world-wide deployable. Currently, L3Harris is responsible for sustainment of the SROC. The STTR's operating contractor is currently JT4 who also assists in operating the NTTR, the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR), and various other military ranges.

The STTR has deployed equipment and personnel to support combatant commander operations and large force exercises such as Austere Challenge.

History
The space range mission was conceived by Air Force Space Command in 2001 and the creation of the Space Range Management Office occurred shortly after. On July 1, 2004, Air Force Space Command activated the 25th Space Control Tactics Squadron with a mission to develop and document space tactics, operate the Space Range and propagate approved tactics and space control employment concepts to warfighters. However, Nov. 11, 2007, the squadron was re-designated the 25th Space Range Squadron due to the focus shifting more to controlling the space range rather than developing tactics and techniques. On April 1, 2012, the STTR gained its reserve component, the 379th Space Range Squadron. Both units are located at Schriever AFB and typically work jointly to complete their mission. Then on April 1, 2013, the STTR was moved under Air Combat Command (ACC) as a subordinate mission to the NTTR.

On March 31, 2020, the United States Air Force announced it would transfer the 25th Space Range Squadron to the United States Space Force.

Challenger 24. The Challenger 24 is a Canadian sailboat that was designed by Alex McGruer and first built in 1973.

Production
The design was built by Challenger Yachts in Canada, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Challenger 24 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a vertical transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces  and carries  of ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard keel fitted.

The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering, although the design originally specified an inboard Renault diesel engine.

The accommodation includes a forward "V"-berth, a semi-private head, a convertible dinette table that can be used as a berth and a quarter-berth aft.

Variants
Challenger 7.4 and 7.5
Model built from 1974 to 1980, with 800 examples completed. Otherwise similar to the Challenger 24.

Operational history
In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "it is one of those sailboats which attempts to provide full standing headroom in the cabin for the least possible money. It may not be the best built, or nicest looking, or the fastest sailboat around, but it's probably one of the least expensive model that can be found on the used market with standing headroom."

Catalogue of Scientific Papers. The Catalogue of Scientific Papers was an attempt by the Royal Society of London to catalogue all papers published in scientific periodicals back to the year 1800 and produce a bibliographic index organised by author. The first volume was published in 1867 and it ran until 1901. From 1902 it was continued in an expanded form as the International Catalogue of Scientific Literature.

The original idea came from an American engineer, Edward Hunt, who suggested it to the first secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Joseph Henry. Henry, however, was concerned that the newly formed Smithsonian did not have sufficient resource to undertake the task and so in 1855 he proposed it to the British Association for the Advancement of Science who set up a committee to explore the idea and to define its scope. In 1857, the British Association came to the conclusion that it would be a suitable project for the Royal Society to undertake. The Society's Council agreed and cataloguing work started the following year.

Health Engineering Department. Health Engineering Department () is a Bangladesh government regulatory agency under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare responsible for construction of government and public health facilities. Brigadier General Mir Sarwar Hossain Chowdhuryafwc, psc, MSDS (BUP), MSc in Civil Engg (BUET) is the Chief Engineer of the Health Engineering Department.

History
In order to provide health and family planning infrastructure facilities and health services to the doorsteps of the general population, including the rural people of Bangladesh, two engineering units/cells were formed under the Health Wing of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, namely the Building Planning and Design Unit (BPDU) in 1974 and the Construction Management Cell (CMC) under the Family Planning Wing in 1979. Later, in 1991, under the 4th Population and Health Project, the BPDU and CMC were merged to establish a project titled Construction and Maintenance Management Unit (CMMU) with the aim of ensuring transparency, accountability, dynamism and financial discipline in the implementation of the project. Later, 386 posts of CMMU were transferred to the Revenue Department from 01/01/1997.

As the scope of work of the Ministry for construction, maintenance and repair of physical infrastructure has increased manifold and in the interest of transparency, accountability and dynamism in project implementation and in order to implement the short and long term plans of the government, on the proposal of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and in view of the recommendations of the Ministry of Establishment (present Ministry of Public Administration), Ministry of Finance and the Secretaries Committee, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has upgraded the Construction and Maintenance Management Unit (CMMU) under the Ministry as an Attached Department to the Health Engineering Department (HED) in light of the government's decision through Memorandum No. SWAPCOM/Construction/HED-27/03 (Part)/102, dated 22 March, 2010.

As the scope of work has gradually increased in accordance with the responsibilities assigned to HED, in view of the recommendations of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, on the proposal of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, after approval by the Ministry of Public Administration, Ministry of Finance and the Secretariat Committee on Administrative Development and after completing other formalities, the Construction Branch of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare created 424 additional posts in addition to the existing 619 posts of the Department of Health Engineering under the Health Services Division of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare through Memorandum No. 45.00.0000.156.15.057.18-732 dated 23/12/2018. At present, the total number of posts in the Department of Health Engineering is 1043..
