He is the founder and CEO of Roraima Airways[2] and its holding company Roraima Group,[3] and the current national security advisor to the President of Guyana. He is also one of five shareholders in Ogle Airport Inc., which holds ownership of Eugene F. Correia International Airport.[3]

Biography

[edit]

Gouveia is Portuguese Guyanese.[1] Gouveia graduated from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida, having received a scholarship from the Government of Guyana to attend.[3] He also attended courses at NTSB Academy, George Washington University, and the William J. Perry Center for Hemispheric Defense Studies. Gouveia is a fellow at the National Defense University.[4]

Gouveia served for more than a decade in the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), where he served as the Chief Pilot of the Army Air corps.[4] He attained the rank of Major.[3] Whilst a pilot in the GDF, Gouveia was one of the first people to arrive in Port Kaituma in the aftermath of the Jonestown massacre,[5] and was actively involved in assisting survivors and transporting the bodies of the dead.[6] As a part of this, Gouveia transported future congresswoman Jackie Speier when she urgently required medical attention following her injury at the Port Kaituma airstrip.[7] He also transported journalists to Jonestown.[1] In 2014, Gouveia was brought to testify at a Commission of Inquiry into the death of Walter Rodney in 1980. Gouveia may have piloted a plane carrying Gregory Smith to Kwakwani after the death of Rodney[8] (Smith was accused of giving Rodney the car bomb that led to his death). Smith escaped to French Guiana, where he died in 2002.[9]

After leaving the GDF, Gouveia moved to Canada, and became a flight instructor in Montreal. He returned to Guyana in the early 1990s to work for Golden Star Resources, a Canadian mining company.[1]

Gouveia founded Roraima Airways in 1992 with his wife Debra.[3] Roraima Group, the holding company for Roraima Airways, also holds ownership of a travel agency, airport operations services, two hotels and a nature resort.[3]

Gouveia has been the president of multiple organisations in Guyana, including the Tourism and Hospitality Association of Guyana (THAG), The Guyana Association of Travel Agents (GATA), The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce & Industry (GCCI), The Caribbean Association of Travel Agents (CATA),[3] and the National Air Transport Association (NATA).[10]

Gouveia was elected as chairman of Guyana's private sector commission in 2019, and occupied the position previously in addition.[11][12] In August 2020, Gouveia was appointed as a national security advisor to President Irfaan Ali,[4] stepping down as chairman of the private sector commission.[13] In 2021, Gouveia was named as the new head of the Guyana Prison Service Sentence Management Board.[14] Gouveia has served as Honorary consul of Barbados to Guyana.[3]

Sir Nicholas Trott, also called Nicholas the Elder to distinguish him from his nephew Nicholas Trott, was an English administrator in the West Indies and the governor of The Bahamas from 1694 to 1697. Trott named the settlement previously known as Charles Town to the modern name of Nassau, and is also notable for his dealings with Henry Avery.

Biography

[edit]

Early life and family

[edit]

Governor of the Bahamas

[edit]

In 1695, Trott rebuilt Charles Town, which had been abandoned following the Raid on Charles Town, and renamed it Nassau after William III's house (Orange-Nassau).[6] Trott laid out the new town layout, and chose Nassau's location on New Providence as the new seat of government of the Bahamas due to the harbour.[7]

Tombs on Liuding Mountain

Liuding Mountain is a historical site and tourist attraction in Dunhua, Yanbian, Jilin. It is one of the AAAAA Tourist Attractions of China.[9]

The site is located 5km to the south of Dunhua and on the right bank of the Mudan River. The mountain consists of six separate hilltops arrayed from East to West, the highest of which is 603 meters above sea level.[10]

A 48 meter statue of the Buddha is located on one of the peaks, facing south. There is also a large monastery.[9]

Balhae Royal Tombs

[edit]

There are ancient tombs on the mountain, which was the graveyard of the royal family of the Balhae kingdom. The tombs were excavated by Yanbian University, Jilin Provincial Museum, and the Archaeology Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1949, 1959 and 1964. There are more than 90 different tombs, including the tomb of Princess Zhenhui, one of the children of Mun of Balhae. The tomb was built of basalt and fulgurite. Many objects were found: pottery, gold-plated copper jewellery and jade. Her tombstone (90 x 49 x 29 cm) bears an epigraph of more than 700 characters written in Chinese, which is an indication that the Balhae kingdom used Chinese characters, making the stone historically significant.[10]

Maoshan

[edit]

Maoshan, also called Mount Mao, is a mountain and historical site in Jiangsu, China. It is the principal seat of the Shangqing School, which developed on the mountain in the late 5th century. It is also a major tourist attraction and one of the AAAAA Tourist Attractions of China.

As of 2010, Mao Shan consisted of six large temples with 100 priests and nuns.[11]

History

[edit]

Maoshan was the retreat of Tao Hongjing, advisor to the princes of Qi, who in 492 left the court, moved to Maoshan, and built the temple of Huayang, the first Shangqing temple. The Shangqing School became very influential and prospered over the following centuries, and Emperor Taizong of Tang personally visited the temple. During the second half of the Northern Song dynasty, the school lost influence at court.

The Taiping Rebellion, the Japanese army and the Cultural Revolution resulted in the destruction of the temples at Maoshan,[12] with the Japanese causing significant damage in 1938 and more damage being caused in the 1960s. Two temples survived complete destruction and repaired by priests starting in the 1980s; it was also around this time that the local government began charging admission to the complex. As of 2009, gate receipts were $2.7 million USD annually. The Hall of the Jade Emperor on Maoshan was built at a cost of $1.5 million USD, and opened in 2010.[11] There is also now a statue dedicated to Laozi and an associated temple.[12] The statue is 33m tall.[13]

WOC

Format

[edit]

Competitions

[edit]

The competition format has changed several times. The first championships in 1966 consisted of only two competitions- an individual race and a relay.

Individual/Classic/Long

[edit]

The individual race was run from 1966 to 1991, with a winning time consistently between 90 and 110 minutes for the men, and between 50 minutes and 70 minutes for the women. This race was renamed to "Classic" in 1991 and "Long" in 2001, with the format remaining unchanged for the men and with winning times for the women increasing since 1991 to a winning time generally between 70 and 90 minutes as of 2024. This race is generally run over rough terrain with a focus on route choices and physical strength over long distances. The format is considered to be the most prestigious in orienteering, being the only individual format which has been run since the first championships. The event is run as a time trial, with a set start interval between runners to prevent pack running and force competitors to face navigational challenges.

Relay

[edit]

The relay race has been held since 1966, and consisted of four legs for both men and women until 2001. Since 2001, the relay race has only consisted of three relay legs for both men and women. From 1966 to 2001, the relay had a winning time of around 4 hours for men and around 3 hours for women (60 minutes per leg for men and 45 minutes per leg for women). Since 2001, the winning times have decreased significantly, and since 2011 the winning times for both men and women have been below 2 hours at every championships (less than 40 minutes per leg for the winner). The relay is run over rough terrain, with a focus on fine navigation and ability to run head to head whilst navigating correctly. The event is run as a mass start, with the first leg runners for each team starting at the same time.

Short/Middle

[edit]

In 1991, a short distance race (roughly 20–25 minutes) was added. The middle distance (roughly 30–35 minutes) replaced the short distance in 2003. Both races are run over rough terrain, with a focus on fine navigation at speed and less focus on route choice. The event is run as a time trial, with a set start interval to prevent pack running and force competitors to face navigational challenges.

Sprint

[edit]

A sprint race was added to the World Championships in 2001. This race was very different from races previously run at world championships, as it is contested in urban areas and parks rather than rough terrain, with a focus on quick decision making, route choice and running speed over distances of less than 5km. This makes the sprint format radically different from the Forest format, with a different world ranking system and different mapping standards compared to traditional forest orienteering. The event is run as a time trial, with a set start interval between runners to prevent pack running and force competitors to face navigational challenges. The winning time is between 13 minutes and 17 minutes, and the course length is traditionally less than 5km.

Sprint relay

[edit]

On IOF's 23rd congress in Lausanne in 2012, it was decided that a sprint relay event would be added in the 2014 World Championships in Italy.[14] The sprint relay is contested in urban areas and parks, and consists of four-orienteer mixed-gender teams starting in a mass start with starting order woman-man-man-woman. This is the only mixed format in the world orienteering championships, with a focus on route choice, quick decision making and ability to run head to head whilst navigating correctly.

Knock-out Sprint

[edit]

The Knock-out sprint consists of a series of sprint races in urban areas and parks where qualification for the next round of the sprint depends on an athlete's performance in the previous heat, with athletes that finished outside the qualification being eliminated. There are three rounds in a championships knock-out sprint following qualification, with each round containing 6 people except for special circumstances such as an athlete protest. 3 athletes in a heat of 6 qualify for the semi-finals in any given quarter final, with seeding done by finish position. In the semi finals, only two athletes are eligible to compete for the final, with other athletes eliminated. The winner of the final is awarded the gold medal. Finals are generally less than 10 minutes winning time. The Knock-out sprint has a focus on route choice, quick decision making, tactics and running speed over distances less than 3000m.

[edit]

The Met Office Space Weather Operations Centre, often abbreviated as MOSWOC, is a forecasting centre operated by the Met Office to produce space weather forecasting products. It has been in operation since 2014, and is the national space weather forecasting centre for the United Kingdom.

History

[edit]

The UK Government first added Solar Storms to the National Risk Register in 2011[17] or 2012[18] following a review of the register after the 2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull.[18] Funding for a 24-hour operations centre was announced in December 2013. In April 2014, operations commenced,[18] and the centre was officially opened by Science Minister Greg Clark on 8 October 2014.[19]

Kenneth Midworth Creer (1925-2020)[20] was a British and Manx geophysicist who was the head of the geophysics department at the University of Edinburgh. He was the president of the European Geophysical Society from 1992-1994 and won the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1996 among other accolades. Creer was an early pioneer of the theory of paleomagnetism, and was instrumental in producing the first paleomagnetic surveys and the first polar wandering curve.

Biography

[edit]

Early life and military service

[edit]

Kenneth Midworth Creer was born in Douglas, Isle of Man in 1925.[20] He went to Douglas High School.[21] In 1944, immediately after leaving high school, Creer entered military service, becoming a 2nd lieutenant in the King's Regiment in June 1945. He would go on to serve in the Royal West African Frontier Force (1945-46) as well as the High Commission Territories Corps in Egypt (1946-47).[20]

Scientific career

[edit]

From 1948-1951 Creer studied at Queens' College, Cambridge. He would go on to complete an MSc (1953) and PhD (1955) at Cambridge as well. From 1954 Creer worked for HM Geological Survey as a senior geologist. in 1956 Creer was given a lectureship at Newcastle University, and in 1963 he was appointed as Reader of Geophysics. In 1966 Creer was given professorship. During his time at Newcastle, Creer was the supervisor of Subir Kumar Banerjee. From 1971-1972 Creer was a visiting professor at Columbia University.[20] In 1973, Creer was appointed head of the geophysics department at the University of Edinburgh, and held the role until his retirement in 1993.

In his early career, Creer worked mainly on demagnetisation in a laboratory setting. At Newcastle, he showed that for Iron oxide minerals, the direction of the secular variation of the Earth's magnetic field could be deduced from the residual magnetisation.[22] Creer was a supporter of the Expanding Earth theory and applying cosmology to geological problems, publishing a paper in 1965 entitled "Tracking the Earth’s Continents",[23] in which he suggested that the Earth could be expanding at the same rate as the Hubble constant, and that the gravitational constant could be weakening on a universal scale.[24]

During his scientific career, Creer was given credit for some of the earliest paleomagnetic surveys, conducting surveys of the Palaeozoic in Great Britain and the Phanerozoic in South America. He also produced the first polar wandering curve (for Great Britain) along with Edward A. Irving and Keith Runcorn, and was a pioneer of making continental reconstructions from plate tectonics using solely paleomagnetism.[22]

In later life, Creer worked on the paleomagnetism of sedimentary basins.[22]

From 1994-95, he was a visiting professor at the University of Wisconsin.[20] Creer died on the 19th August 2020.[25]

Leadership roles

[edit]

Creer was the vice president of the Royal Astronomical Society from 1986-87. He became the President of the European Geophysical Society from 1992-94.[25] Creer was instrumental in the merging of several journals to form the Geophysical Journal International, and was the last editor of the Geophysics Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society. He founded the UK Geophysical Assembly in 1977, a now inactive conference aimed at early career scientists.[22]

Awards

[edit]

Creer received fellowships of the Academia Europaea, the American Geophysical Union and the Royal Society of Edinburgh. He received a Prix mondial Nessim Habif for Science from the University of Geneva in 1987, the John Adam Fleming Medal from the American Geophysical Union in 1990, and the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1996.[25]

Kenneth George Budden was a British physicist with a research focus in plasma physics, best known for the publication of several textbooks on radio waves in the ionosphere. Budden was one of the first pioneers in computational physics, using EDSAC to find solutions of the Appleton–Hartree equation. He won the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1999.


Biography

[edit]

Early life and education

[edit]

Kenneth George Budden was born on 23 June 1915[26] in Portsmouth to George Easthope Budden and Hannah Gertrude Homer Rea. His father and grandfather had a naval background, and his mother was a pianist. In 1923, the family moved to Barrow-in-Furness, and returned to Portsmouth in 1926. Kenneth attended Portsmouth Grammar School. Kenneth went on to study Natural Sciences at St John's College, Cambridge in 1933, studying under scientists including G.F.C. Searle, John Cockcroft,Philip Ivor Dee,Charles Drummond Ellis and Mark Oliphant. He graduated with First Class honours in 1936, and moved on to a PhD working in the radio research group under J. A. Ratcliffe alongside Maurice Wilkes. Budden completed his thesis in 1939[27] or 1940.[28]

The Second World War

[edit]

On the outbreak of war, Budden was released from his upcoming job working for the British Coal Utilisation Research Association[27] and joined the Air Ministry working on the development of radar, where he did the early research on heightfinding that would lead to Height finder radars and improve Ground-controlled interception.[29] From 1941 to 1944 Budden was posted in Washington D.C. to assist with the development of radar in the United States. From 1944 Budden was posted to Kandy in Sri Lanka as the Director of Communications Development representative in South East Asia, with an honorary position as Squadron Leader in the Royal Air Force. Budden left service in 1945.[27]

Scientific career

[edit]

After the war, Budden joined a coal company called Delanium Ltd. as Director of Research, but left in 1947. He rejoined the University of Cambridge as a demonstrator, where he taught Abdus Salam.[27] He became a fellow of St. John's College in 1947.[30]

Budden moved towards more theoretical research. He was one of the early users of EDSAC, using computation to solve ionospheric problems (in particular the Appleton–Hartree equation), and was one of the first pioneers of computational physics. In 1957, he briefly worked at National Institute of Standards and Technology during a sabbatical. In the late 1950s, Budden worked with computer scientist David W. Barron on early computing problems. In 1961, Budden published his first major textbooks, Radio Waves in the Ionosphere and The Wave-guide mode theory of wave propagation. He worked at the Defence Research Telecommunications Establishment in 1963. In 1965, Budden was promoted to Reader in Physics.[27]

During his career, Budden worked mostly in magnetoionic theory, in which he contributed extensively. In 1993, Budden received the IEEE Heinrich Hertz Medal for " for major original contributions to the theory of electromagnetic waves in ionized media with applications to terrestrial and space communications."[27] He worked mostly at the Cavendish Laboratory for the majority of his career.[31]

Budden retired in September 1982. In 1985, he published his textbook The propagation of radio waves. He received the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1999,[27] with the citation mentioning his work on the propagation of radio waves in the ionosphere and his theory on the conversion of energy between different wave modes in a non-uniform magnetised plasma.[32]

Personal life

[edit]

Budden married Nicolette Longsdon in 1947. The couple had no children. Budden was a devout Christian, and enjoyed gardening and beekeeping. Budden was a supporter of Portsmouth Football Club.[27] He died on 4 September 2005[33] with Parkinson's disease.[27]
