Admiralty code. The Admiralty System or NATO System is a method for evaluating collected items of  intelligence.  The system comprises a two-character notation assessing the reliability of the source and the assessed level of confidence on the information.  The Admiralty system is used by NATO member nations and members of the Five Eyes community.

Evaluation
Evaluation occurs in the processing stage of the intelligence cycle recognising that collected information cannot be accepted at face value.  Each item of information used in the creation of an assessment is given an indication of source reliability and assessed accuracy, based on corroboration or other assessment.  Each descriptor is considered in isolation to ensure that the reliability of the source does not influence the assessed accuracy of the report.

Reliability
A source is assessed for reliability based on a technical assessment of its capability, or in the case of  Human Intelligence sources their history.  Notation uses Alpha coding, A-F:  

Reliability of Source
A - Completely reliable: No doubt of authenticity, trustworthiness, or competency; has a history of complete reliability
B - Usually reliable: Minor doubt about authenticity, trustworthiness, or competency; has a history of valid information most of the time
C - Fairly reliable: Doubt of authenticity, trustworthiness, or competency but has provided valid information in the past
D - Not usually reliable: Significant doubt about authenticity, trustworthiness, or competency but has provided valid information in the past
E - Unreliable: Lacking in authenticity, trustworthiness, and competency; history of invalid information
F - Reliability cannot be judged:  No basis exists for evaluating the reliability of the source

Credibility
An item is assessed for credibility based on likelihood and levels of corroboration by other sources.  Notation uses a numeric code, 1-6.

Accuracy of data
1 - Confirmed by other sources: Confirmed by other independent sources; logical in itself; Consistent with other information on the subject
2 - Probably True: Not confirmed; logical in itself; consistent with other information on the subject
3 - Possibly True: Not confirmed; reasonably logical in itself; agrees with some other information on the subject
4 - Doubtful: Not confirmed; possible but not logical; no other information on the subject
5 - Improbable: Not confirmed; not logical in itself; contradicted by other information on the subject
6 - Truth cannot be judged:  No basis exists for evaluating the validity of the information

Reporting
An assessment will provide a candidate course of action based on the coding of the items of collected information used to compile the assessment.  The hypothesis will not be coded but the wording will caveat conclusions based on the levels of confidence indicated by the code.

Learjet 40. The Learjet 40 (LJ40) is a light business jet produced by Bombardier Aerospace.

Design and development

The Learjet 40 is derived from the Learjet 45, but with a shorter fuselage (by 24.5 inches/60 cm), and is powered by two Honeywell TFE731-20AR engines.  These are known as the "AR" engines. The 40 model takes the place of the discontinued Learjet 31a in the Learjet model line, with several performance and comfort improvements taken from the 45 model.

The prototype aircraft, a rebuilt Model 45, first flew on August 31, 2002, and the first production aircraft performed its maiden flight on September 5, 2002. Both flights took place from the Wichita Mid-Continent Airport. The LJ40 entered into service in January, 2004.

The Learjet 40XR is an upgraded version introduced in October, 2004, offering higher takeoff weights, faster cruise speeds and faster time-to-climb rates as compared to the LJ40. The increases are due to the upgrading of the engines to the TFE731-20BR configuration. These are the "BR" engines.  LJ40 owners can upgrade their aircraft through the incorporation of several service bulletins.

Write combining. Write combining (WC) is a computer bus technique for allowing data to be combined and temporarily stored in a buffer the write combine buffer (WCB) to be released together later in burst mode instead of writing (immediately) as single bits or small chunks.

Technique
Write combining cannot be used for general memory access (data or code regions) due to the weak ordering. Write-combining does not guarantee that the combination of writes and reads is done in the expected order. For example, a write/read/write combination to a specific address would lead to the write combining order of read/write/write which can lead to obtaining wrong values with the first read (which potentially relies on the write before).

In order to avoid the problem of read/write order described above, the write buffer can be treated as a fully associative cache and added into the memory hierarchy of the device in which it is implemented.
Adding complexity slows down the memory hierarchy so this technique is often only used for memory which does not need strong ordering (always correct) like the frame buffers of video cards.

Les Hatton. Les Hatton (born 5 February 1948) is a British-born computer scientist and mathematician most notable for his work on failures and vulnerabilities in software controlled systems.

He was educated at King's College, Cambridge 1967–1970 and the University of Manchester where he received a Master of Science degree in electrostatic waves in relativistic plasma and a Doctor of Philosophy in 1973 for his work on computational fluid dynamics in tornadoes.

Although originally a geophysicist, a career for which he was awarded the 1987 Conrad Schlumberger Award for his work in computational geophysics, he switched careers in the early 1990s to study software and systems failure.  He has published 4 books and over 100 refereed journal publications and his theoretical and experimental work on software systems failure can be found in IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, IEEE Computer, IEEE Software, Nature, and IEEE Computational Science and Engineering. His book Safer C pioneered the use of safer language subsets in commercial embedded control systems.  He was also cited amongst the leading scholars of systems and software engineering by the Journal of Systems and Software for the period 1997–2001.

Primarily a computer scientist nowadays, he retains wide interests and has published recently on artificial complexity in mobile phone charging, the aerodynamics of javelins and novel bibliographic search algorithms for unstructured text to extract patterns from defect databases.

After spending most of his career in industry working for Oakwood Computing Associates, he is currently a professor of Forensic Software Engineering at Kingston University, London.

Aqueous Wastes from Petroleum and Petrochemical Plants. Aqueous Wastes from Petroleum and Petrochemical Plants is a book about the composition and treatment of the various wastewater streams produced in the hydrocarbon processing industries (i.e., oil refineries, petrochemical plants and natural gas processing plants). When it was published in 1967, it was the first book devoted to that subject.

The book is notable for being the first technical publication of a method for the rigorous tray-by-tray design of steam distillation towers for removing hydrogen sulfide from oil refinery wastewaters. Such towers are commonly referred to as sour water strippers. The design method was also presented at a World Petroleum Congress Meeting shortly after the book was published.

The subjects covered in the book include wastewater pollutants and the pertinent governmental regulations, oil refinery and petrochemical plant wastewater effluents, treatment methods, miscellaneous effluents, data on the cost of various wastewater treatment methods, and an extensive reference list.

Availability in libraries

The book became a classic in its field and is available in major university, public and industrial libraries worldwide. The book has no ISBN because they were not in use in 1967. The Library of Congress catalog number (LCCN) is 67019834 and the British Library system number is 012759691. It is no longer in print, but photocopies can be obtained from the ProQuest Company's  Books On Demand service.

Book reviews

One of the book reviews is that of Dr. Nelson V. Nemerow, a Civil Engineering professor at Syracuse University in New York state, published in 1968 in the American Chemical Society's journal Environmental Science and Technology.

Alfred Owen. Sir Alfred George Beech Owen (8 April 1908–29 October 1975) was the son of Alfred Ernest Owen (who in 1910 became the sole-proprietor of the British engineering company Rubery Owen & Co).  Sir Alfred was educated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge and after the death of his father in 1929 he became, jointly with his brother, managing director of the Rubery Owen Group.

Following his father's death, Owen left his studies at Cambridge to take over the Rubery Owen Company, the biggest private family business in Britain. Besides being Chairman and Joint Managing Director of Rubery Owen and Co. Ltd. he was also on the Board of ninety nine companies and Chairman of over eighty.

He held thirty voluntary offices in social work, twenty in church work as well as being a lay reader in the Anglican Church for much of his life.

Sir Alfred was prominent in the local affairs of his home town, The Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield, serving as a councillor (1937–1974), mayor (1951) and Alderman. Between 1951-52 he was Mayor of Sutton Coldfield and received his Knighthood in 1961. In 1970 Alderman Sir Alfred Owen was made Freeman of the Borough of Sutton Coldfield, and was the last person to hold this honour.

Owen had a passion for racing cars and track events. He sponsored the Formula One BRM racing cars and received the Ferodo trophy as the man who had done the most for British racing in 1963. He was proprietor of the BRM motor racing team from the early-1950s to 1974, when it was passed to Louis Stanley, who had married his sister Jean.

His father had bought the New Hall Manor estate in Sutton Coldfield in 1923 which remained the Owen family home until Sir Alfred's death in 1975.

Sir Alfred died on 29 October 1975 aged 67, leaving New Hall empty. He is buried with his family in Sutton Coldfield Cemetery, next to Good Hope Hospital on Rectory Road. The Rubery Owen Group spent several years looking for a use for New Hall, including offering it to the National Trust, before it was eventually put up for sale.

A blue plaque appears at New Hall, now a hotel, in recognition of the occupation by Sir Alfred.

Capital Cascade Greenway. Capital Cascade Greenway is a 6-mile (9.6 km) long urban greenway in Tallahassee, Florida, designed manage stormwater, enhance natural and cultural heritage, and assist in promoting sustainable development.

Location 
The Capital Cascade Greenway passes through downtown Tallahassee following the course of the St. Augustine Branch, a small creek that flows south through Cascades Park and Black Swamp, ending in Lake Munson. The greenway includes both public and private land.

History 
The Capital Cascade Greenway was borne of Tallahassee's Blueprint 2000, an initiative to provide efficient, attractive, environmentally responsible stormwater, trail and road projects that help revitalize in-town and southside neighborhoods. It is funded by an extension of the local one-cent sales tax approved by voters in November 2000. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Community Affairs have invested $7.8 million to the project. The Trust for Public Land is also a partner in the greenway's creation.

Stormwater 
The greenway  will address stormwater and flooding problems in southern Tallahassee where the St. Augustine Branch basin slopes steeply near downtown. Almost the whole basin is built upon which has increased the amount of impervious surfaces leaving no absorption area for rain.

Recreation 
Capital Cascade Greenway will include trails for walking, and biking and link to the St. Mark's Trail, the Bow Tie Trail and the proposed Gopher, Frog and Alligator Trail (GFA.) The greenway will also have parks and playgrounds, businesses and shops and an opportunity to preserve a historic section of Florida's capital city. Parts of the corridor house the Korean War Memorial as well as historic plaques that commemorate the beginnings of Tallahassee and the State of Florida. The corridor is also very close to a number of structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places as well as historic neighborhoods such as Stearns-Mosely.
