ESA's supply ship
At present, astronauts cannot grow their own food in orbit. They rely on fresh supplies arriving every few months.
Until recently, all the food, water, air and spare parts that the crews need were brought by the U.S. Shuttle and Russian unmanned Progress ships. This changed in 2008, when a new supply ship – ESA's Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) – made its maiden flight. Named Jules Verne, after a famous French writer of science fiction, the ATV docked with the ISS on 3 April. When its mission was complete, it was sent into the atmosphere and burnt up on 29 September.
Each ATV is launched on Europe's Ariane-5 rocket. The flight to the ISS usually lasts five days.
At the end of its useful life, the ATV becomes a waste disposal truck. Loaded with up to 6.3 tonnes of rubbish, it is commanded to burn up in the atmosphere.

Isolation of Murine Natural Killer Cells
This unit describes the isolation of natural killer (NK) cells from mouse spleen. The basic protocol describes a method for preparing a highly purified NK cell population from mouse spleen by depletion of contaminating cells with selected monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) and magnetic separation. There are several advantages to this negative selection process. One of these is that the NK cells are not coated with antibody and, therefore, are not at risk of functional perturbation by antibody cross‐linking. Additionally, negative selection provides a way to isolate diverse subpopulations of NK cells without selectively purifying a specific subpopulation. Following enrichment, NK cell purity can be assessed by cell surface phenotype using flow cytometry. Curr. Protoc. Immunol.. 105:3.22.1‐3.22.9. © 2014 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

When to go
Any time of year is good for a visit. Summer draws the tourists. The crowds create fascinating street life and a buzz wherever you go. And in turn, the city really pulls out the red carpet for visitors: everyone from musicians to acrobats to actors in period costume take to the streets. There's also terrific festivals and oodles of special museum exhibitions and tours. Fall and spring bring beautiful colors, dramatically reduced prices and thinner crowds. And in the winter, Caribou, an alcoholic drink enjoyed by the early settlers, is sold everywhere to keep people warmed up. Even in the darkest and coldest months of January and February, Quebecers have found a way to have fun: throwing the annual Winter Carnival, arguably the biggest, most colorful and most successful winter festival around.

As a lad he journeyed from the Isle of Wight to cheer on Pompey.
Now Gary Rowett is plotting their second successive League Two defeat.
The 40-year-old's Burton Albion side are top of the table and undefeated in seven matches in all competitions this season.
Having lost out in the previous two play-offs, the Brewers are focused on securing promotion automatically.
For Rowett, Sunday's fixture pits him against a team he used to follow.
Despite being an Everton fan born in Bromsgrove, the former Derby defender grew up on the Isle of Wight.
And he ventured to the mainland to take in Pompey's progress during his younger years.
Nowadays Rowett is excelling as boss of the Brewers and seeking a positive result against the Blues on Sunday (12.15pm).
He said: 'Pompey have improved since last year and have got a little bit of stability now that Andy's the manager.
'He knows the club inside out, he's been there a long time and has been a huge part in their history.
'That's important because someone who takes over them needs to understand what the club's about and what it means to the fans.
'They're the club I used to go and watch games at when I lived on the Isle of Wight.
'I know a little bit about the club and how fervent the fans are and what a brilliant fanbase they've got.
'It's going to be a difficult game. They were one of the most fancied teams for promotion at the start of the season.
'Whether that's due to their size, you can make an argument, or whether it's down to the players they've brought in, but I expect them to be there or thereabouts.
'It'll be a different test and I think every game so far has been a different test.
'Will it be harder than playing QPR? Will it be harder than playing Wigan? Will it be harder than playing the first 45 minutes against Dagenham? I don't know.
'But what we do know is it'll be a different test and one which we'll have to be very, very well prepared for and will have to start the game brightly.'
Pompey won their visit to the Pirelli Stadium last season under Guy Whittingham.
Ricky Holmes and Simon Ferry both scored in a 2-1 victory for the visiting side, despite having Yassin Moutaouakil sent off late on.
John Sullivan was beaten in stoppage time during a nerve-racking finale, but the Blues held on to win.

Lakeside Retreat
- Basic
- Data
- Media
- Publications
- Files
Our approach to this heavily wooded and steeply sloped family retreat on Lake George was to create a series of smaller buildings rather than one large structure. The buildings include a main house, recreation building, two guesthouses, a garage and boathouse. Visitors entering the site, park their cars at the garage from where they take small electric vehicles thereby reducing car usage, pollution and congestion on the site. The main house and recreation building are nestled into the slope with flat roofs that tie into the natural landscape. The flat roofs provide outdoor terrace spaces that can be used for concerts, games and gatherings. Upon approach from the drive, the buildings appear as landscaped terraces through the trees. It is only upon the last hundred feet Matte buildings begin to reveal themselves as they protrude from the land. The unique positioning also minimizes their visual impact from the lake.
The buildings become a play between landform and building, built and natural environment Within the buildings,there is a constant play with the ground plane between inside and outside so thatfrom any level you can step out onto grade. Theroof of the boathouse is a large terrace and spills into the water in a series of stepped terraces that can be used for sunbathing and relaxing.
From an environmental standpoint, the green roofs help mitigate the storm water runoff as well as help insulate the buildings. The wooden screens in front of the windows will act as shading devices to control solar heat gain.

Eurovan Solar PanelBack
Updated 2017-06-15 with more pictures and info about running the wire to the starting battery
Updated 2013-03-15 with more pictures
In which I describe the adding of an 85 watt solar panel and charge controller to a 2000 Eurovan Camper.
I had several goals in this project: a solar panel that was big enough to provide significant power (for the non-stock oversized house batteries) but not so big or heavy that it wouldn't fit on the roof, or would make raising the roof too difficult from added weight. Price was a concern. Solar panels tend to come in two varieties: 12 volts, and 24+ volts. The 12V panels are better for RV use since they don't require a MPPT charge controller. I don't plan on selling the van, so cutting holes & permanent modifications were O.K.
What I ended up with:
- SolarTech SPM085P 85 Watt Solar panel
Features: decent power, will fit sideways on the van's roof, reasonable price, and is a 12V panel.
- MorningStar SunSaver Duo Solar Charge Controller
Features: can monitor and charge both the house and starting batteries, temperature compensated, reasonable priced, and has remote meter. This is a PWM controller, not a MPPT controller, but from what I've read this often makes little difference in 12V RV applications.
- Mounting rails: a previous owner had already installed Yakima roof rails 54" tracks so I wanted something that would mount to these. The solution was to build custom mounts - I used 2" aluminum L-shaped stock from the local hardware store, 6mm metric stainless hex bolts, which mate nicely with the existing yakima Anchor Plates.
- Higher pressure roof struts: with the extra weight, I upgraded from stock 100lb struts to 130lb versions, which can be purchased GNSI-3100-130 Struts from SPD Hardware
Solar Panel On Roof showing custom aluminum mount which connects to Yakima roof rack (in the background, visible is the MaxxFan, installation as per Eurovan MaxxFan)
Many solar panels are too big, heavy, or rectangular shaped to fit nicely on the roof. This is a SolarTech 85 which has a relatively square aspect ratio. I mounted it close to the hinge on the roof to reduce the amount of level-arm it adds for opening the roof.
Solar Panel On Roof (different angle)
Detail showing roof penetration for wiring I drilled a hole underneath the plastic end cap of the yakima rack, so it was easy to seal, and could be hidden.
Wiring More Detail showing roof penetration for wiring.
Wiring More Detail showing wiring going down through closet towards electrical panel.
Moar Power: modified battery compartment with dual Trojan T145
This is a non-stock modification by the van's previous owner. These provide about 220-260 AH Amp*Hours according to the specifications, which is about double the energy available in the stock house battery.
Even Moar Power: a Vector Maxx SST 054C "2000 watt" inverter mounted under the rear seat (also visible, audio amplifier) Vector 2000W Inverter User Manual. This is a silly-big inverter, and is really overkill for this application. I may replace this with a smaller true-sine-wave inverter in the future.
Charge Controller: morningstar SunSaver Duo - it fits snugly behind the existing camper van electrical panel, held on with velcro
The SunSaver Duo has one very nice feature: a 2nd battery connection so you can also monitor and charge the starter battery as well.
Routing Wire for Starting Battery: to monitor and charge the starting battery, you have to fish a new wire from the Charge Controller. Here's the route I took (no pictures, sorry): From front to back:
- Battery - you can probably attach to an existing post.
- The firewall has some rubber grommets that you can poke a hole in and fish a wire through (entering behind/above the fusebox)
- from there, peel back the carpet by the hood release handle - you'll see some other wire bundles you can follow
- they go under the driver's side plastic entry step
- up behind the plastic on the wall behind the driver's seat (below the shoulder belt attachment)
- along the left wall, behind the stove, fridge, cabinet and sink (multiple routes make sense here)
- once past the sink, come out and follow near the furnace vent and past the water tank (visible in some pictures here)
- you'll end up near the rear electrical panel.
This is a temporary mounting stuck on with hot glue, if I like the location I'll go ahead and cut a hole in the wall and do a flush mount...
Remoter Monitor Final location: turns out it was too deep to mount flush, so I left it surface mounted but ran the wire behind the wall

The two countries met in the group stages of Euro 2012 in the summer, with England edging to a narrow 1-0 win but the tournament co-hosts gave the Three Lions a mighty scare before eventually succumbing.
Few would forget another 'phantom goal' being ruled out, despite Marko Devic's shot appearing to cross the line before John Terry cleared.
And despite Wayne Rooney's winner that day, Gerrard warns Ukraine are far too good a side to disregard as England look to impress again following Friday's 5-0 away win in Moldova.
He told the Daily Mirror: "There were times in the Euros when we gave them too much respect and stood off them and they had a few dangerous opportunities to score. Over the 90 minutes, they could feel hard done by not to have got at least a point.
"The difference for this game is we didn't know too much about Moldova before that game. We performed really well, but this game will be a bigger and tougher test.
|England are 11/1 with Bet365 to beat Ukraine 3-1 on Tuesday
"If you stand off them [Ukraine] and give them too much respect, they have players who can hurt us. We need to be on it against them.
"They are a group of players who have played together for a long time. Technically they are very good. If you stand-off these players, they can hurt you.
"But we won the game in the Euros, did what we needed to do, and hopefully we can get the same outcome.
"They have got our respect. They are a dangerous team. If you show them too much respect, they can hurt you.
"We were strong defensively against them in the summer and we got the job done. They will have a respect for us as well," he added.
Both Gerrard and left-back Ashley Cole are close to joining England's exclusive club of 'Centurions'. Gerrard is in line to win his 98th cap for England if he features against Ukraine after making his debut against the Eastern Europeans as a fresh-faced 19-year-old, 12 years ago.
Although anticipating his 100th cap, the Liverpool captain insists it is more about getting another three points en route to World Cup qualification.
"It's a dream come true when you get your first cap at Wembley. 100 caps would be a nice touch, for both me and Ashley," he added.
"The important focus is to get to the World Cup - individual achievements are always nice along the way but I'm more interested in the points against Ukraine."
And Gerrard is now viewed as one of the more elders statesmen in the team, but insists he is happy to help the younger generation evolve within the England set-up, including Liverpool team mate Raheem Sterling.
"When I was selected, I was judged by the rest of the squad. It'll be interesting to see how it works with Raheem Sterling," he continued.
"It opens the debate we've had before, about the amount of foreigners coming into the league. I don't think these questions would be asked if everyone was fit and available - Jack Wilshere, Wayne Rooney, Ashley Cole would all be here.
"We're speaking now because we have a lot of drop-outs and injuries. When everyone's fit and available, we'll be fine.
"It's a pleasure to help these lads. They are fantastic talents."
And the 31-year-old is keen to continue the national sporting euphoria that has built up after a quite remarkable summer for Great Britain.
"It will be one of the higher attendances throughout Europe and on the back of the Olympics and Paralympics, it is incredible," he said.
"The onus is on the players to excite them and put in a good performance and get six points from our first two games."

Meal plan includes more flex points
Kathy Lee | Thursday, September 8, 2005
Students with the "Flex 14" meal plan were in for a pleasant surprise this fall when they checked their balance at Notre Dame Food Services thanks to the allotment of 280 flex points rather than the 260 given in years past.
Flex Points, dollars set aside in students' accounts to be spent only at food venues on campus, are often preferred by students who would rather eat at other food establishments than North or South Dining Halls for meals.
"Flex points are a lot more convenient than using cash, and offer variety from the dining hall," sophomore Amanda Deckelman said.
The "Flex 14" plan provides students with 14 meals a week and an allowance of flex points. As the default meal plan for all residential students approximately 96 percent of students on campus choose the "Flex 14" plan over the 21-meal plan, according to Dave Prentkowski Director of Food Services.
The extra 20 points were added to the meal plan because students complained that all of the allotted 260 points were consumed before the end of the semester, Prentkowski said.
In order to answer student complaints, the Notre Dame Student Senate discussed last spring the possibility of creating a new "Flex-10" plan that would give students only 10 meals a week, but grant students a greater amount of flex points.
The Senate was unable to pass the movement for several reasons including objections from the dining halls that said the increased flex points would be too expensive and some services of the dining hall might have to be cut to cover the extra cost.
"A 10 meal plan was not adopted for a number of reasons… [For one], The Office of Student Affairs interest in encouraging community dining hall based meals as much as possible," Prentkowski said.
"I didn't even know about it but it was a pleasant surprise. I feel like my schedule is busier and I end up using more points than in previous years," said junior Ashley Kelly.
While it is true that the students have more nominal flex points, the value of those points decreased slightly, Prentkowski said.
"It should be noted that Notre Dame increases the Flex portion of the meal plan each year to assure that the students do not lose purchasing power due to inflationary price increases," he said. "In fact, the increase, most years, is higher than general retail inflation and is related to the percentage of the increase of the cost of room and board."
While the dining halls were wary of the proposed new increased flex point meal plan, other Food Service establishments such as Reckers, and the Huddle were much more accepting.
Prentkowski conceded that more flex points might produce more revenue but said it could hurt service.
"While the campus retail operations may generate more revenue from added flex dollars in the system the additional traffic may, at times, over tax the operation to the point of insufficient and slow service," Prentkowski said, citing the long lines as Subway as an example.
Along with the arrival of more flex points, there are now more venues on campus accepting the points as a form of payment. Starting this fall, the Bookstore Coffee Shop began accepting flex points.
Though the number of flex points has increased, some students still wish there were more.
"There are enough to make a student have to learn to make decisions about spending. They could give me 500 points and I'd find a way to spend them but with a more limited supply, you become more selective in your purchases," junior Ashley Kelly said.

City and State Have Committed Additional $60 Million to Maintain Historic Structures and Infrastructure
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Governor George E. Pataki today announced the issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for visionary ideas to redevelop and preserve Governors Island, a 172-acre sanctuary in the heart of New York Harbor. The Governors Island Preservation & Education Corporation (GIPEC), a subsidiary of Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC), issued the RFP in order to solicit proposals from qualified individuals, corporations and other organizations that can take advantage of the uniqueness of Governors Island, and have the vision and expertise to connect the island to New York City's future. As part of the effort to rehabilitate the Island's infrastructure and historic structures, the City and State are raising their contribution by an additional $30 million, bringing the total commitment to more than $120 million. The Mayor and Governor were joined at the announcement by Deputy Mayor for Economic Development & Rebuilding and GIPEC Chair Daniel L. Doctoroff, ESDC Chairman Charles Gargano and architect Santiago Calatrava at the Battery Gardens Restaurant in Lower Manhattan, directly across from Governors Island. Calatrava was on hand to unveil his conceptual model of an aerial gondola transportation system that could create new connections between Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn and Governors Island.
"New York City is home to dozens of world-famous landmarks such as Central Park, Rockefeller Center and the Statue of Liberty – and I firmly believe that Governors Island has the potential to join their ranks as one of the most popular destinations in the world," said Mayor Bloomberg. "Governors Island is a special place, and we must take this opportunity to preserve the Island's historic buildings and create something extraordinary that will resonate across the globe and benefit New Yorkers for generations to come. We are very fortunate that an architect like Santiago Calatrava, who recently moved his home to New York City, has offered his tremendous creativity to help New York conceptualize the aerial gondola. Improved access to Governors Island is critical to its future viability, and this gondola represents one fascinating option among many that we will consider and the type of vision we are hoping to attract to this important project."
"The RFP and the new funding commitments on behalf of the State and City are necessary to preserve the extraordinary historic buildings on the Island and to cultivate new parks and public spaces," said Governor Pataki. "The history and splendor of Governors Island offers a unique development opportunity for the creation of a world class landmark that can be enjoyed by all. Now all we need are visionary partners to come and work with us to achieve the extraordinary, and help cement the legacy of this picturesque treasure."
"Governors Island is a truly unique site that requires the highest standards of development, producing nothing less than the site's nearly limitless possibilities," said Deputy Mayor Doctoroff, who is also chairman of GIPEC. "Governors Island is the centerpiece of our efforts to transform New York Harbor, which, taken together with the extraordinary range of projects in Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn and Staten Island, will create the world's greatest waterfront destination."
The RFP issued today addresses the 150-acre portion of Governors Island administered by GIPEC, which is distinct from the 22-acre portion known as the Governors Island National Monument that is administered by the National Park Service. The City and State anticipate development uses to be appropriate to the island and its waterfront location, and should promote the following goals:
"When Governors Island is looked at within the context of other ongoing public development projects in New York city – Ground Zero, the East River Waterfront in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge Park – it presents an extraordinary opportunity to tie these projects together and stimulate public interest and access Lower Manhattan, Downtown Brooklyn, the waterfront and Harbor," said ESDC Chairman Charles Gargano.
Responses to the RFP are due by May 10, 2006. A short-list of respondents will be required to provide additional information during the summer, with a selection of finalists expected to be announced in mid-September. The execution of conditional designation letter(s) with respondent(s) or respondent team(s) is anticipated by November 2006. Once selected, the respondent(s) or respondent team(s) will work closely with GIPEC to refine a master plan and complete the environmental review process, including the preparation of the environmental impact statement (EIS), which is expected to take between 12-18 months. Development can begin at the conclusion of the environmental review process. Additionally, if a potential gondola or ferry stop linking Brooklyn Bridge Park to Governors Island are pursued, they would be analyzed in the Environmental Impact Statement that will be prepared for the Governors Island Project.
As part of the RFP, respondents will be required to provide for public priorities included in the federal deed restrictions and reaffirmed in the General Project Plan that was adopted by GIPEC and ESDC last month. These include the preservation of historic structures and the creation of a 40-acre public park with a public esplanade around the island's perimeter. Additional information, including a PDF download of the RFP, can be found on GIPEC's website, www.govisland.com.
Emblematic of the scale and scope of the development opportunity on Governors Island, architect Santiago Calatrava has provided on a pro-bono basis (with the assistance of STV Inc. and Leitner-Poma of America) renderings and related design work for an aerial gondola that could, if constructed, provide connections between Governors Island, Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan. These connections would support not only visits to Governors Island, but could provide an additional transportation option between Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. In addition, Rubenstein Associates has also signed on as pro-bono advisor to GIPEC to assist in the outreach for proposals.
"This is an opportunity to make something extremely practical and logical, which at the same time tries to inspire the imagination in a way that can happen only here, in New York Harbor," said Santiago Calatrava. "On a practical level, the design creates a new direct link to Governors Island for both tourists and Island workers from both Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. The system is very light, using only three supports, none of which stands in the water, so the shipping channels are left completely open. On the level of the imagination, the gondola cars will be round, so they are shaped a little like apples – and because they are transparent, they will offer a wonderful 360-degree view of the harbor."

The EPP port mode is the desired mode for older printers. Check the cable to make sure there isn't a bent pin in the connector causing problems or a "pushed pin' in the female part of the connection (a female pin that has been pushed out of it's socket and not making contact). Also, try a different cable and make sure it's a good grade bi-directional cable, HP's are sensitive to the cable being used and it needs to be less than 3 meters (3 ft). Also make sure the cable is a "full pin" cable with all the wires, not one that has "minimum" wires as some control signal may be missing.
The printer/cable may work well with the Sony but the Sony may have slightly more current/voltage drive on the Printer port than the Dell does and the cable could still be an issue.

Bradfeart History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Anglo-Saxon name Bradfeart comes from the family having resided in or near one of the many places called Bradford in England, which were found in Wiltshire, Dorset, Somerset, Devon, Northumberland, and the West Riding of Yorkshire. The surname Bradfeart literally means broad ford.
Early Origins of the Bradfeart family
Yorkshire where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Early History of the Bradfeart family

Bradfeart Spelling Variations
hundred years, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. As the English language changed in the Middle Ages, absorbing pieces of Latin and French, as well as other languages, the spelling of people's names also changed considerably, even over a single lifetime. Spelling variants included: Bradford, Bradeford, Braidford, Bradforde and others.
Early Notables of the Bradfeart family (pre 1700)
Another 50 words (4 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Bradfeart Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Bradfeart family to Ireland
Some of the Bradfeart family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. More information about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Bradfeart family to the New World and Oceana
In an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies. Those families hardy enough, and lucky enough, to make the passage intact were rewarded with land and a social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Bradfearts to arrive on North American shores: William Bradford of Yorkshire who arrived at Plymouth in 1621, aboard the Mayflower and, on the death of John Carver in 1621, was chosen leader of the Pilgrims, 2nd Governor of the Plymouth colony. His wife Dorothy died at sea, en-route to the Colony. Other settlers include: Henery Bradford, who came to Virginia in 1625.
The Bradfeart Motto
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Fier et sage
Motto Translation: Proud and Wise.
