All these factors made it imperative that the Union staff should move out. As a result of selling a field on the fringes of Stanborough Park, funds became available to cope with the demands of all these growing interests, and so the erection of a new building became possible. Following this account of development and ex- pansion during the past years, a short Scripture lesson was read by Pastor G. D. King, secretary of the Northern European Division, and a prayer of dedication was offered by Pastor A. F. Tarr, president of the Northern European Division. It is most encouraging to record that since 1922 when the former B.U.C. was opened, the member- ship of the Union has almost trebled. In the sixty years &Om 1889-1949 the annual net growth of the membership was 108.2. From 1950 to 1959 the net annual growth has been 242.8—over twice as many as in the earlier years.

BRITISH ADVENT MESSENGER scions of the existence of a church organization on Stanborough Park. In all parts of the Union we must face the challenge of a new day, a time of tension and fear, when the church must make a more decided impact upon the thinking of the people. God calls upon us to "arise, be glad, your light is dawning, the Eternal's splendour rises upon you. Though darkness covers all the earth, and a black cloud shrouds the nations, yet the Eternal shines out upon you, His splendour on you gleams, till nations gather to your light and kings to your bright beams." Isa. 60:1-3, Moffatt. In the foyer the Mayor unveils a commemorative plaque and (left below) congratulates the Adventist church ,on its service to the community. Committee in session voted an expression of deep appreciation to all who had contributed to this out- standing achievment. To all local agents, collectors, and organizers, our most hearty thanks—May the Lord's blessing attend all who gave so generously to His cause; may every member who helped, feel a sense of satisfaction in a task accomplished, and may God's blessing go with the funds as they are distributed to sustain His work in the regions beyond our shores. Souls will be in the kingdom as a result of this year's endeavour. LOCAL SESSIONS BEGINNING with the North England Conference, and finishing with the South session, the two con- ferences and the three missions will be holding their biennial meetings throughout the month of UNION NOTES July. Members should plan to attend these impor- tant gatherings. Election of officers, departmental secretaries, and executive committees will take place; STANBOROUGH SCHOOL inspirational messages will be delivered. The meet- ings depend upon YOU for real success.

We are praying that the Lord ing at Stanborough Park has reverted to its original educational use, it is planned that the Stanborough School should bring an increasing number of our young people within the British Union up to G.C.E. level and thus prepare them to enter Newbold. There is urgent need for young people to train for the ministry and Bible work. The gateway to this exalted service is by means of the Ministerial and Bible Instructor Courses offered by Newbold College. The qualifying entrance to Newbold is G.C.E. Ordinary Level in five subjects. Our Union school is well equipped to supply this need for all young people who have aspirations to one or other of the ministerial phases of service.

Getting around and visiting in this widespread field is much of a problem, and Brother Dessie and his co-workers spend much of their time on mule-back along the lonely mountain trails. It was in Brother Dessie Kassahun's district that enemies of our people made a furious attack upon the Adventist village of Dehana, some months ago. The huts were burned and our people driven away, while all their cattle and movables were carried off as spoil. Much suffering and hardship was imposed upon our people because, of this situation, but we are happy to report that our denomination has been able to extend a helping hand, inasmuch as money from the Famine and Disaster Relief Fund has been Miss Janet Hyde presents a bouquet to the Mayoress. made available to them.

  • Ceramics from Wet-Processing of Martian Soil Simulant Using Slip Casting Or Additive Manufacturing for In-Situ Resource Utilization
    DOI: 10.13009/EUCASS2019-769 Ceramics from wet-processing of Martian soil simulant using slip casting or Additive Manufacturing for in-situ resource utilization on Mars David Karl # *, Franz Kamutzki*, Andrea Zocca**, Pedro Lima**, Oliver Goerke*, Jens Guenster** and Aleksander Gurlo* * Fachgebiet Keramische Werkstoffe / Chair of Advanced Ceramic Materials, TU Berlin, Germany. ** Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und –prüfung (BAM), Berlin, Germany. # Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract For future colonization of Planet Mars, the most realistic approach for the production of parts on site is in situ resource utilization (ISRU). In this study, we demonstrate the feasibility of this concept by producing objects of varying complexity exclusively using resources that can be found on the surface of Mars. The established production routes using slip casting and Additive Manufacturing via wet- processing of Mars simulant material are simple, robust and easily transferable even to the harsh conditions on Mars. After sintering our slip cast parts have mechanical properties comparable to commercially available porcelain, making them suitable for everyday use. 1. Introduction A promising concept for the exploration and subsequent colonization of Moon and Mars is in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) - collecting, processing and storing of native materials that are encountered during human or robotic space exploration [1]. Early colonization scenarios suggest the direct use of rock-covering loose granular surface media (including dust, soil and rubble) consisting of various oxide minerals called lunar and Mars regoliths. The chemical composition of lunar and Mars regolith makes the extraction of metals and ceramics conceivable. The availability of ceramic tools is an important prerequisite for melting regolith in blast furnaces and bloomeries for the production of base metals.

    An Access-Dictionary of Internationalist High Tech Latinate English Excerpted from Word Power, Public Speaking Confidence, and Dictionary-Based Learning, Copyright © 2007 by Robert Oliphant, columnist, Education News Author of The Latin-Old English Glossary in British Museum MS 3376 (Mouton, 1966) and A Piano for Mrs. Cimino (Prentice Hall, 1980) INTRODUCTION Strictly speaking, this is simply a list of technical terms: 30,680 of them presented in an alphabetical sequence of 52 professional subject fields ranging from Aeronautics to Zoology. Practically considered, though, every item on the list can be quickly accessed in the Random House Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary (RHU), updated second edition of 2007, or in its CD – ROM WordGenius® version. So what’s here is actually an in-depth learning tool for mastering the basic vocabularies of what today can fairly be called American-Pronunciation Internationalist High Tech Latinate English. Dictionary authority. This list, by virtue of its dictionary link, has far more authority than a conventional professional-subject glossary, even the one offered online by the University of Maryland Medical Center. American dictionaries, after all, have always assigned their technical terms to professional experts in specific fields, identified those experts in print, and in effect held them responsible for the accuracy and comprehensiveness of each entry. Even more important, the entries themselves offer learners a complete sketch of each target word (headword). Memorization. For professionals, memorization is a basic career requirement. Any physician will tell you how much of it is called for in medical school and how hard it is, thanks to thousands of strange, exotic shapes like <myocardium> that have to be taken apart in the mind and reassembled like pieces of an unpronounceable jigsaw puzzle.

  • PACE NSC 2013 Round 11 Tossups 1
    PACE NSC 2013 Round 11 Tossups 1. This author discussed the fate of the wreckers in a chapter entitled "The History of Our Sewage Disposal System", which follows a chapter in which jurists dump out a child's corpse in order to inspect a coffin. Late in his career, this author was lambasted for anti-Semitism for his history of the Jews in his country, Two Hundred Years Together. He wrote a novel whose title character enjoys the company of the Latvian joker Kilgas and his benevolent (*) overseer Tyurin and earns a share of the care packages of the favorably-treated Caesar. Many of his novels, including Cancer Ward, were circulated through samizdat. For 10 points, name this Russian author of One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich and The Gulag Archipelago. ANSWER: Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn <Gupta> 2. Tell el-Daba in Egypt and Tel Kabri in Israel contain wall paintings done in the style of this civilization, which produced polychrome pottery often containing floral patterns called Kamares Ware. Luigi Pernier excavated a mysterious multi-symbol disc produced by this civilization. Its cities like Kato Zakros and Phaistos may have been ravaged by the (*) Thera eruption. This civilization is generally organized chronologically into "palatial" divisions, and John Chadwick and Michael Ventris deciphered one of its major scripts. Linear A and B were used by this civilization, whose ruins were excavated by Arthur Evans. The palace at Knossos was part of, for 10 points, what ancient Greek civilization on Crete? ANSWER: Minoan Civilization <Bentley> 3. The Eberswalde Crater on Mars is largely one of these features, which can also be found in the Lunae Palus Quadrangle.
