Apollo experience report: Development and use of specialized radio equipment for Apollo recovery operations

New personal communications equipment was required for the Apollo Program recovery operations. Two new, small, personal radios were developed and used successfully in the Apollo recovery program

PROFESSIONS AND BUSINESSES Real Estate Brokers and Salespersons: Require Real Estate Brokers to Pay Commission Only to Licensees Who Have Assigned Their License to the Broker\u27s Firm; Ensure a Qualified Broker Will Be Responsible in All Real Estate Business

The Act provides procedures for ensuring that real estate brokerage firms will not pay compensation to a licensed broker unless the broker is assigned to the firm prior to the transaction. The Act requires each brokerage firm to be managed by a real estate broker or qualifying real estate broker who is ultimately responsible for this license assignation. The Act further provides that in any given business enterprise, a qualified broker must be able to bind the business in his capacity either as partner or as corporate officer

COURTS Probate Courts: Provide Method for Service of Process on Minors or Incapacitated Adults in Probate Court Proceedings

The Act provides a modernized method for serving process upon minors or incapacitated adults in probate court proceedings. There are two requirements. First, the probate court must mail, by certified mail, a copy of the document being served to the minor or incapacitated adult. Second, the probate court must serve the legal guardian or guardian ad litem. The guardian must acknowledge service and certify that the document has been hand delivered to the minor or incapacitated adult. The court\u27s certificate of service and the guardian\u27s acknowledgment and certification must be filed with the court as proof of this service

Radiogenic Heat Generation in Western Australia — Implications for Geothermal Energy

The chapter reviews heat generation in crystalline rocks and influences on overlying sedimentary basins in Western Australia (WA). Regions of elevated thorium and uranium will cause elevated heat generation, which in turn can cause elevated heat flow. Western Australia hosts several large sedimentary basins with the potential for hot sedimentary aquifers (HSAs). These include the Perth, Carnarvon, and Canning basins. Parts of these basins are underlain by crystalline rocks that contain high levels of heat-generating elements, such as uranium, thorium, and potassium. Also, the Pilbara Craton, which contains both sedimentary and crystalline rocks, that entertains a number of active mines, which may benefit from geothermal energy, is investigated. Further, the southern part of the Perth Basin (Vasse Shelf), which is underlain by crystalline rocks with elevated concentrations of thorium and uranium, is shown to possess higher than usual temperatures. From observations, and geothermal modeling, it is concluded that the Perth Basin has a high potential for medium- to low-temperature geothermal energy developments. In other parts of Western Australia, the Carnarvon Basin has elevated temperatures in artesian groundwater. Heat flow in the Canning Basin is briefly reviewed; this basin has some geothermal potential, but it is far from the major population centers

Academic Support at Leeds Metropolitan Library

Leeds Metropolitan’s Library Academic Support Stream is made up of Academic Librarians and Information Services Librarians who provide academic support to the university’s six faculties. The team use innovative methods of working together to engage students and enhance their experience. The team only formed a year ago so this is a good time to reflect on our success so far. The library service at Leeds Met is continually developing and offers new challenges and opportunities for staff providing library academic support. Innovation has even become part of our new name – ‘Libraries and Learning Innovation’. We still offer all the traditions types of library academic support, but there is an increasing emphasis on finding innovative ways of supporting students and publicising what we can offer. This year the Library Academic Support Stream won a University Attitude Character and Talents Award for Future Focus

Accounting for care within human geography

Human geography has experienced a burgeoning interest in care. Despite this, the more radical potentials of thinking with, and through, care remain largely unex- plored. In this paper, we critically examine one such potential, asking how care might facilitate a substantial rethinking of practices of research and analysis within human geography. We argue that care does not simply name practices of social reproduction or emotional attachment, but is a distinct mode of ethics, both visible in the social world and capable of infor ming academic practice. We ask what it means to recognise everyday accounts as acts of care, and to analyse these same accounts through an ethic of care where knowledge, action, relating to others, and the shaping of ethical commitment are inextricably intertwined. While, typically, everyday accounts are seen as about some sort of underlying meaning or dynamic, we suggest that such accounts need to be understood as parts of efforts to navigate and remake social worlds. We unfold our argument by first tracing how care has been understood and analysed within human geography as a shifting and situated social practice. Building on, but moving beyond, such approaches, we examine social worlds as “matters of care,” where everyday understandings and the potential for action and ethical commitment are not only continually negotiated but are also staunchly kept open to new possibilities. Through the close reading of extracts from indepth interviews with firsttime par- ents in the city of Oxford, UK, we illustrate how care offers a committed practice of knowing and relating within research. We argue this approach provides new ways of thinking about geographical research, where primary research, analysis, and scholarly narratives are all implicated in the remaking of everyday worlds that, in turn, reveal a new terrain of political potentiality. Drawing on in-depth interviews with first-time parents in the city of Oxford, we offer a critical examination of how notions of care can transform practices of research and analysis within human geography. We argue care offers a committed practice of knowing and relating within research where data collection, analysis, and scholarly narratives are all implicated in the remaking of everyday worlds that, in turn, reveal a new terrain of political potentiality
