Phoenix was an uncrewed space probe that landed on the surface of Mars on May 25 2008 and operated until November 2 2008. Phoenix was operational on Mars for 157 sols 161 days. Its instruments were used to assess the local habitability and to research the history of water on Mars. The mission was part of the Mars Scout Program; its total cost was $420 million including the cost of launch. The multi-agency program was led by the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the University of Arizona with project management by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Academic and industrial partners included universities in the United States Canada Switzerland Denmark Germany the United Kingdom NASA the Canadian Space Agency the Finnish Meteorological Institute Lockheed Martin Space Systems MacDonald Dettwiler & Associates MDA in partnership with Optech Incorporated Optech and other aerospace companies. It was the first NASA mission to Mars led by a public university. Phoenix was NASA's sixth successful landing on Mars from seven attempts and the first in Mars' polar region. The lander completed its mission in August 2008 and made a last brief communication with Earth on November 2 as available solar power dropped with the Martian winter. The mission was declared concluded on November 10 2008 after engineers were unable to re-contact the craft. JPL declared the lander to be dead. The program was considered a success because it completed all planned science experiments and observations. The mission had two goals. One was to study the geological history of water the key to unlocking the story of past climate change. The second was to evaluate past or potential planetary habitability in the ice-soil boundary. Phoenix's instruments were suitable for uncovering information on the geological and possibly biological history of the Martian Arctic. Phoenix was the first mission to return data from either of the poles and contributed to NASA's main strategy for Mars exploration "Follow the water." A press kit often referred to as a media kit is a pre-packaged set of promotional materials that provide information about a person company organization or cause and which is distributed to members of the media for use. Press kits are often distributed to announce a release or for a news conference. Traditionally the term "press kit" referred to a set of documents photographs such as publicity stills and other relevant materials packaged together and such a kit was designed to be sent to a newspaper or magazine as part of an organization's public relations or promotional program. There is no universal guide to the elements that should be included in a press kit or media kit but the following are common components: Backgrounder with historical information on the company or individual; Fact sheet listing specific features statistics or benefits; Biographies of key executives individuals artists etc.; Past press coverage; Photos or other images; a press release; and media contact information.

Some of the cost breakdown is by: Chargebacks Purchases Travel Labor Equipment Training Subcontracts Other Direct Costs Material Institutional costs Service Center and Overheads. This is a rare snapshot into the range of expenditures and the monthly progression of expenditures. Cost analysis is a comparison of costs. Costs used to prepare financial statements are not the same as those used to control operations. Costs may be controllable or non-controllable and are subject to time periods and constraints. For example controllable costs are those the manager may authorize. However costs that may be able to be controlled over the long-term may not be controllable in the short-term. Total cost is the relationship between production quantity and costs expressed as: Total cost = Fixed Cost Variable Cost Output Costs are classified according to their behavior. A cost's behavior is how the cost responds to changes in the level of the business activity. Costs are broadly divided into variable costs and fixed costs. For example the total variable cost increases and decreases in relation to the changes in business activity levels. Conversely fixed costs are not affected by business activity level changes remaining the same throughout. National Nuclear Security Administration unknown
2002réf. 77513Washington DC: National Nuclear Security Administration c2002. Presumed First Edition First printing. Spiral bound. Very good. Format is approximately 11 inches by 8.5 inches. 30 pages plus covers. Maps. Footnotes. Illustrations many in color. Cover has slight wear and soiling. This document is a high-level synopsis of the full National Nuclear Security Administration's Applied Technology Roadmap. The larger document is the product of a collaborative effort by the NNSA and contractor representatives to the Applied Technology team. Representatives from all of the eight sites comprising the NWC as well as other NNSA staff from headquarters and several field offices participated in several workshops. The authors acknowledged a debt to the group that compiled the NNSA Applied Engineering Testing & Manufacturing Capabilities book. There were four pillars in the roadmap: Flexible Agile Manufacturing; Model-Based Design and Development; Responsive Integrated Enterprise; and Adaptable Knowledge-Enabled Workforce. The Nuclear Weapons Complex relies on the unique synergy created among the design laboratories and the production plants. The laboratories provide a strong science base while the production plants are capable of unmatched precision in producing a wide variety of materials components and assemblies. Together the laboratories and plants can transform a concept into specialized hardware to meet very demanding requirements. The complex thus created in a security environment for synthesizing and processing a wide variety of materials including hazardous and radioactive components. The Applied Technology Roadmap shows how the synergy of the NWC science and technologies base will be used to provide national defense for tomorrow. The most efficient way to support the nation is to build the 'pillars' formed from enabling technologies that rest upon the foundation of NWC capabilities capitalizing on existing and future investment in the NWC.

This apparently was returned to the applicant who was Arthur S. Galvin of Assumption IL. We believe that this belonged to Arthur Steven Galvin who was born 8 June 1915 - Assumption Christian County Illinois USA and who died 30 August 1989 - Assumption Christian County Illinois USA This RARE surviving ephemera would be appropriate for a museum exhibit or as an important artifact in a prized collection. Rationing is the controlled distribution of scarce resources goods or services or an artificial restriction of demand. Rationing controls the size of the ration which is one person's allotted portion of the resources being distributed on a particular day or at a particular time. Rationing in the United States was introduced in stages during World War II with the last of the restrictions ending in June 1947. The Office of Price Administration OPA was established within the Office for Emergency Management of the United States government by Executive Order 8875 on August 28 1941. The OPA had the power to place ceilings on all prices except agricultural commodities and to ration supplies of other items including tires automobiles shoes nylon sugar gasoline fuel oil coffee meats and processed foods. In the summer of 1941 rationing in the United Kingdom increased because of military needs and German attacks on shipping in the Battle of the Atlantic. The British government appealed to Americans to conserve food to help the UK. The Office of Price Administration OPA warned Americans of potential gasoline steel aluminum and electricity shortages. It believed that with factories converting to military production and consuming many critical supplies rationing would become necessary if the country entered the war. The OPA established a rationing system after the attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December. The work of issuing ration books and exchanging used stamps for certificates was handled by some 5500 local ration boards of mostly volunteer workers selected by local officials. Many levels of rationing went into effect. Some items such as sugar were distributed evenly based on the number of people in a household. Other items like gasoline or fuel oil were rationed only to those who could justify a need. Restaurant owners and other merchants were accorded more availability but had to collect ration stamps to restock their supplies. In exchange for used ration stamps ration boards delivered certificates to restaurants and merchants to authorize procurement of more products.

Restaurant owners and other merchants were accorded more availability but had to collect ration stamps to restock their supplies. In exchange for used ration stamps ration boards delivered certificates to restaurants and merchants to authorize procurement of more products. Each ration stamp had a generic drawing of an airplane gun tank aircraft carrier ear of wheat fruit etc. and a serial number. Some stamps also had alphabetic lettering. The kind and amount of rationed commodities were not specified on most of the stamps and were not defined until later when local newspapers published for example that beginning on a specified date one airplane stamp was required in addition to cash to buy one pair of shoes and one stamp number 30 from ration book four was required to buy five pounds of sugar. The commodity amounts changed from time to time depending on availability. Red stamps were used to ration meat and butter and blue stamps were used to ration processed foods. To enable making change for ration stamps the government issued "red point" tokens to be given in change for red stamps and "blue point" tokens in change for blue stamps. The red and blue tokens were about the size of dimes 0.63 inches and were made of thin compressed wood fiber material because metals were in short supply. There was a black market in stamps. To prevent this the OPA ordered vendors not to accept stamps that they themselves did not tear out of books. Buyers however circumvented this by saying sometimes accurately as the books were not well-made that the stamps had "fallen out". In actuality they may have acquired stamps from other family members or friends or the black market. U.S. Government Printing Office unknown
