Description:
RFA Stirling Castle is welcomed into the fleet at Leith<br/><br/>State-of-the-art Royal Fleet Auxiliary ship, RFA Stirling Castle, will be welcomed into the Naval Fleet on Thursday, April 11, during a Service of Dedication at Forth Ports in Leith.<br/><br/>The 6,000-tonne vessel will be at the forefront of supporting the next generation of the Royal Navy’s mine countermeasures capability.<br/><br/>Last year the vessel, which began life as MV Island Crown, underwent conversion at<br/>HM Naval Base Devonport, allowing her to operate as a “mother ship” for the Royal<br/><br/>Navy’s new autonomous mine countermeasures systems experts based at HM Naval Base Clyde.<br/>Military personnel, dignitaries and civilian leaders will join members of the Royal FleetAuxiliary at the dedication service, with RFA <br/> Stirling Castle being the latest vessel to<br/>join the fleet of 11 platforms that provide support to Royal Navy ships all over the<br/>world.<br/><br/>The service will be held in the presence of guest of honour, HRH the Duke of Edinburgh, in his role as Commodore-in-Chief of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary.<br/><br/>RFA Stirling Castle and her crew will work closely with Zulu Squadron of the Mine and Threat Exploitation Group (MTXG), who are trailblazing advances in technology to keep pace with the rapidly evolving threat from naval mines. They employ a full suite of Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs) and Uncrewed Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) which can be operated remotely using a portable command centre on land or onboard Stirling Castle.<br/><br/>Stirling Castle will replace traditional mine countermeasures vessels, exploiting a series of uncrewed devices which include, not only MTXG, but also the joint French-UK Maritime Mine Counter Measures (MMCM) system, the Combined Influence Sweep (SWEEP) system and Medium Underwater Autonomous Vehicles (MAUVs).<br/><br/>Following the Service of Dedication, the vessel and her crew of civilian sailors look forward to returning to Clyde to work with MTXG on more trials designed to understand how the technology can be used to enhance operations in and around the UK.

Abigail also stars Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Alisha Weir, William Catlett, Kevin Durand, Angus Cloud, and Giancarlo Esposito.<br/><br/>Children can be such monsters. <br/><br/>After a group of would-be criminals kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure, all they have to do to collect a £50 million ransom is watch the girl overnight. In an isolated mansion, the captors start to dwindle, one by one, and they discover, to their mounting horror, that they’re locked inside with no normal little girl. <br/><br/>From Radio Silence—the directing team of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett behind the terrifying modern horror hits Ready or Not, 2022’s Scream and last year’s Scream VI—comes a brash, blood-thirsty new vision of the vampire flick, written by Stephen Shields (The Hole in the Ground, Zombie Bashers) and Guy Busick (Scream franchise, Ready or Not). <br/><br/>The film produced by William Sherak (Scream franchise, Ready or Not), Paul Neinstein (Scream franchise; executive producer, The Night Agent) and James Vanderbilt (Zodiac, Scream franchise) for Project X Entertainment, by Tripp Vinson (Ready or Not, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island) and by Radio Silence’s Chad Vilella (executive producer Ready or Not and Scream franchise).

_launch-of-glen-rosa-at-ferguson-marine.webp "Launch of Glen Rosa at Ferguson Marine<br/><br/>Glen Rosa launch: What future for Ferguson Marine as hugely-delayed ferry leaves slipway?<br/><br/>It had taken shape at Ferguson Marine over more than eight years, but then, in a matter of seconds on Tuesday, was gone – leaving behind questions about the shipyard’s future (and recent turbulent past) as big as the huge slipway it had just vacated.<br/><br/>Glen Rosa’s belated launch could turn out to be the turning point for the embattled Port Glasgow yard. But we don’t know yet whether it’s towards the brighter future wellbeing economy Mairi McAllan talked up as the ship was sent on its way, or whether the yard’s hopes have effectively sailed away with the vessel.<br/><br/>Ms McAllan, surrounded by female apprentices as she spoke, pointed to them being the future of Scottish shipbuilding, which she said meant it was “in safe hands”.<br/><br/>The Cabinet secretary said later that her officials had just taken receipt of a bid for new investment from the yard to make it more competitive – which could be vital if Ferguson Marine is to secure a crucial contract to build seven smaller CalMac ferries similar to those it successfully completed in the not-so-distant past.<br/><br/>I also understand it will have to bid for the work rather than receive a direct award, to comply with international competition rules. However, Ms McAllan made no reference to Glen Rosa – and sister vessel Glen Sannox before it – being hugely behind schedule and multiple times over budget.<br/><br/>There was also nothing about the shock sacking of Ferguson Marine chief executive David Tydeman two weeks ago over “performance” issues, which senior industry officials told me was “unbelievable”. One said: “That guy is the best you have seen by a country mile.”<br/><br/>Glen Sannox left the yard for the last time last week for further sea trials, with the remaining work, including pipework for its liquefied natural gas fuel system, being completed at a dock in Greenock prior to its scheduled completion in May or June, with an update on this due next week.<br/><br/>If there are no further delays, the ferry is expected to start carrying passengers on the main Arran route to Brodick around August following CalMac’s own trials.<br/><br/>Glen Rosa is due to be finished in September next year. But as the crowd of hundreds – families of workers, locals and curious others – watched it slide away into the Clyde, more than just a landmark for drivers on the adjacent A8 has disappeared. The gap now spells “what next?”<br/><br/>Ferguson Marine’s interim chief executive John Petticrew, albeit a born and bred Inverclyde shipbuilder, and yard board member, is very much a caretaker manager, who has effectively been parachuted in for six months from Canada, where he now lives, to “put my best efforts into getting the vessels out of here as quickly as possible”.<br/><br/>Will he do things differently from his predecessor? “It’s a matter")

It is confirmed that this black hole will completely destroy the Earth and its inhabitants.<br/><br/>Frustrated by the multitude of problems at school and at home, Nobita wonders if his life would be easier if magic really existed. He then asks Doraemon for his what-if-telephone-booth gadget which allows both to go to a parallel world where magic is ordinary to all.<br/><br/>However, Doraemon tells that magic is just a superstition and there is no way such a world could be created. At the same time when they re-enter their room, a life-sized statue of Doraemon fell down from the sky, which surprises them both. As they fix the problem, Gian and Suneo call them, finding another statue of Nobita out on the field. Doraemon and Nobita are confused and choose to leave these statues in their backyard.<br/><br/>In the night, the family is surprised when the statues appear inside of the house, in another position. Doraemon and Nobita do not have time to find out the truth, so they simply put the statues in Doraemon’s magic pocket. At midnight, Doraemon suddenly gets a stomachache and rushes to the 22nd century to check.")
