* August 7 – Janice Brown pilots the MacCready Gossamer Penguin on its first solar-powered flight.

The first Kremer prize of £ 50, 000 was won on August 23, 1977 by Dr. Paul MacCready when his Gossamer Condor, piloted by Bryan Allen, was the first human-powered aircraft to fly a figure eight around two markers one half mile apart, starting and ending the course at least above the ground.

The second Kremer prize of £ 100, 000 was won on June 12, 1979, again by Paul MacCready, when Bryan Allen flew MacCready's Gossamer Albatross from England to France.

He later worked with Dr. Paul MacCready on MacCready's Gossamer Albatross.

He devised the MacCready Theory on the correct speed to fly a glider depending on conditions and based on the glider's rate of sink at different air-speeds.

MacCready also collaborated with General Motors on the design of the Sunraycer, a solar powered car, and then on the EV-1 electric car.

MacCready died on August 28, 2007 from metastatic melanoma.

The property used to be owned by Thomas C. MacCready in the late 19th century, and after three generations of family, Douglas, Lynn, and Willis MacCready donated the land to Michigan State University in 2001.

It may be of relevance that in 1985 the Smithsonian Institution commissioned aeronautical engineer Paul MacCready to build a half-scale working model of Quetzalcoatlus northropi.

One early ( 1984 ) experiment by Paul MacCready used practical aerodynamics to test the flight of Quetzalcoatlus.

MacCready constructed a model flying machine or ornithopter with a simple computer functioning as an autopilot.

The pilot merely has to input the estimated MacCready setting, which is the expected rate of climb in the next acceptable thermal.

The idea is usually attributed to Paul MacCready, although an early version of the theory was first described by Wolfgang Späte in 1938.

Paul MacCready, however, certainly invented the " ring ", which allowed an easy indication of the optimal speed to fly.

This is commonly done using a speed to fly ring ( known as a ' MacCready Ring ') which is fitted around the aircraft's variometer.

Electronic versions of the MacCready Ring are built into glide computers that will give audible warnings to the pilot to speed up or slow down.

* June 12 – Human-powered aircraft Gossamer Albatross, built by an American team led by Paul MacCready and piloted by Bryan Allen, makes a successful crossing of the English Channel to win the second Kremer prize.

* July 7 – Electric aircraft Solar Challenger, designed by an American team led by Paul MacCready and piloted by Stephen Ptacek, makes a 163 mile ( 262 km ) crossing of the English Channel using only solar power from wing-mounted photovoltaic cells.

Before the Federal Reserve established regulations in 1967 requiring that cheques be MICR encoded in order to be handled by their clearing houses, it was fairly common for banks, especially in small towns, to issue cheque to customers which were not personalized other than the name of the bank.

Although the Federal Reserve does not explicitly follow the Taylor rule, many analysts have argued that the rule provides a fairly accurate summary of US monetary policy under Paul Volcker and Alan Greenspan.

Corroborating Mr. Hodges' figures was the Federal Reserve Board's report of the large sales increase in the nation's department stores for the week ending March 4.

In industries like banking, where continuous operations was mandatory, Burroughs large systems penetrated most every large bank, including the Federal Reserve Bank.

Because of the large amounts of funds that move through the Reserve Banks every day, the System has policies and procedures to limit the risk to the Reserve Banks from a depository institution's failure to make or settle its payments.

Habitat is also preserved in the large Aboriginal local government area of Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara in South Australia and in the Great Victoria Desert Nature Reserve of Western Australia.

( As it happens, no financial assistance was provided to LTCM by the US Federal Reserve, so there was no direct cost to US taxpayers, but a large bailout had to be mounted by a number of financial institutions.

The Maasai Mara National Reserve ( also spelled Masai Mara ; known by the locals as The Mara ) is a large game reserve in south-western Kenya, contiguous with the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania.

Tanzania contains many large and ecologically significant wildlife parks, including the famous Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park in the north, and Selous Game Reserve and Mikumi National Park in the south.

The university also administers the UC Irvine Medical Center, a large teaching hospital ; the UC Irvine Health Sciences system in the City of Orange ; the University of California, Irvine, Arboretum ; and a portion of the University of California Natural Reserve System.

They are made up of one National Reserve, six large parks, two smaller parks and three nature reserves.

But the latter is certainly smaller if the first ( Montanhas do Tumucumaque, Brazil, and Guiana Amazonian Park, France ) is combined with the large neighbour protected areas in northern Pará, Brazil, such as Grão-Pará Ecological Station, Maicuru Biological Reserve and many others.

Initially, the county included a large area of the Western Reserve that encompassed most of present-day Summit County, all of Medina and Huron counties, and parts of Lorain and Ashland counties.

Landmarks in the suburb include the A40, a large road that connects Central London with the M40 motorway, and the large Art Deco Hoover Building, as well as St Mary's Church ( C: 15th century ), the River Brent and Perivale Wood Local Nature Reserve run by the Selborne Society.

A large part of Shoalhaven can be seen from the Drawing Room Rocks area in Barren Grounds Nature Reserve.

Long made speeches denouncing the large banking houses of Morgan and Rockefeller centered in New York which owned stock in the Federal Reserve System.

About one third of the city is permanently reserved for park purposes, including two large natural areas-the Minnesota Valley's wetlands ( controlled by the City and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service ) and the Hyland Lake Park Reserve ( controlled by the Three Rivers Park District ).

It meets the River Cree in Wigtown Bay, meandering through a large area of salt marsh which has been designated as a Local Nature Reserve ( LNR ).

During World War II he served in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, where he rose to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander despite being nicknamed " Pranger " Richardson " on account of the large number of planes which seemed to fall to pieces under his control ".

Although most of the assumptions and expectations made by the Central Banks or Reserve Banks by countries ( and economies ) that by technically lowering the interest rate would produce the effect of increasing investments and consumptions, however, low interest rate by macro-economic policy is also risky and would also lead to the creation of massive economic bubble, when great amount of investments are poured into the real estate market and stock market, as what Japan experienced in the late 1980s and early 1990s that resulted in the large numbers of accounts of unpaid debts to the Japanese Banks and bankruptcy of these banks and caused stagflation to the local Japanese Economy ( Japan being the second largest economy at the time ), with exports becoming the last pillar for the growth of Japanese economy throughout the rest of 1990s and early 2000.

Instead, because that requirement was removed through later legislation, the United States retained a dual banking system in which a large number of state chartered banks remained outside the Federal Reserve System.

As described below, this became important in the 1980s when commentators worried large commercial banks would leave the Federal Reserve System to avoid Glass-Steagall ’ s affiliation restrictions.
