Charles Greeley Abbot was an American astrophysicist and the fifth secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, serving from 1928 until 1944. Abbot went from being director of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, to becoming Assistant Secretary, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution over the course of his career; as an astrophysicist, he researched the solar constant, research that led him to invent the solar cooker, solar boiler, solar still, other patented solar energy inventions. Charles Greeley Abbot was born in New Hampshire, his parents were farmers and he was the youngest of four children. As a youth he built and invented numerous things, such as a forge to fix tools, a water wheel to power a saw, a bicycle, he dropped out of school. Two years he went back to high school, he attended Phillips Andover Academy. When a friend of his went to Boston to take the entrance exam to get into the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Abbot went for the chance to visit Boston. However, upon arrival, he was uncomfortable visiting Boston alone and chose to take the exam instead.

He passed and his family gathered the funds to send him to MIT for one year. He started out studying chemical engineering, but moved on to physics, he would graduate in 1894 with a Master of Science in physics. Abbot would meet Samuel P. Langley on MIT campus. In 1895, he would start working as an aid at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. While at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Abbot would work under Samuel P. Langley. Langley would go on to change his focus from solar radiation to aeronautics, with Abbot taking over solar radiation research. Abbot would participate in many expeditions. In 1900 he, along with Langley, would travel to Wadesboro, North Carolina to observe a solar eclipse, followed by another eclipse expedition to Sumatra in 1901. During his expedition experiences he would travel to Algeria, South Africa and other countries in partnership with the National Geographic Society. Abbot would become acting director of SAO in 1906 and in 1907, Abbot became the Director of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, following the death of Samuel P. Langley.

While Langley was still Director, he had visited Mount Whitney, decided it would be a great place for an observatory. Abbot secured funding for the observatory and it was built in 1909; as Director, a position he would hold until his retirement, Abbot would open the Radiation Biology Laboratory in 1929, to study radiation effects on plants, other organisms. This helped to develop the first wave of biophysics researchers in the United States. Abbot would become the Assistant Secretary at the Smithsonian Institution in 1918, upon the death of Frederick W. True. In his role as Assistant Secretary he would oversee the Smithsonian Institution Libraries, the International Exchange Service, the SAO, he co-created the Smithsonian Scientific Series books, which helped raise funds for the Smithsonian. Ten years on January 10, 1928, he became the fifth Secretary of the Smithsonian after the death of Charles Doolittle Walcott. Abbot would maintain his position as Director of the Astrophysical Observatory.

In 1927, Walcott had finalized the Smithsonian's strategic plan, which Abbot took on responsibility for upon his election as Secretary. The Smithsonian began a capital campaign in 1929. During this tenure, Abbot oversaw the Smithsonian's participation in Works Progress Administration projects, including the Federal Art Project. Projects included new buildings and artwork at the National Zoo, the start of the Smithsonian's first media project, a radio show called The World is Yours; the program would be ceased in 1942 due to World War II. In the 1930s an expansion was approved for the National Museum of Natural History building, which would not begin until the 1960s; the Institute for Social Anthropology was transferred to the Smithsonian during this time. While Secretary, Abbot would fail to acquire the National Gallery of Art for the Smithsonian. Abbot's role in the United States National Museum was minimal, was under the primary care of Assistant Secretary Alexander Wetmore, he was the first Smithsonian Secretary to retire, ending his tenure on July 1, 1944.

Following retirement, he was awarded Secretary Emeritus status and proceeded to continue his research work. The first Smithsonian holiday party would be held during his tenure. At the party, Abbot played the cello for the partygoers. While in Washington, he was a deacon at the First Congregational Church, he played tennis at the former tennis courts at the Smithsonian Castle. On May 31, 1955, the Smithsonian held a birthday party for Abbot, marking his 83rd birthday and his 60th year of association with the Smithsonian; the event was held at the Smithsonian Castle and a bronze bust of Abbot, by Alicia Neatherly, was presented, donated to the National Gallery of Art. Charles Greeley Abbot died, at age 101 in Maryland, on December 17, 1973; the American Solar Energy Society has an award named in Abbot's honor, awarded for contributions to solar energy research. The Abbot crater on the Moon has been named after him. Abbot began his astrophysics research focusing on solar radiation before proceeding to chart cyclic patterns found in solar variations.

With this research he hoped to track solar constant. He believed that the sun was a variable star which effected the weather on Earth, criticized by many contemporaries. In 1953, he discovered a connection between planetary climate; this discovery al

Stockbridge Racecourse was a horse racing venue in Hampshire, England which closed in 1898. The first racing at Stockbridge took place on Houghton Down from, at the latest, 1775, earlier. By 1839 a new course had been developed on Danebury Hill near Nether Wallop; the course is associated with leading Victorian trainer John Day who, together with stable jockey Tom Cannon, sent out multiple Classic winners. He trained from stables at Danebury House, built in 1832 by Lord George Bentinck, adjacent to the track and now the headquarters of a winery. Another important, but short-lived figure in the history of the course was Harry, Marquis of Hastings who had horses trained at Stockbridge in the 1860s. A notable visitor to the track was King Edward VII, who whilst still Prince of Wales watched his horse, come last in the Stockbridge Cup and fall down dead, it is reported. Horses were entered and shown at the Swan Inn in Stockbridge. Race week was in June or July; the track had a straight mile and a severe'elbow'.

In the years before its closure, the major races at the course were: Bibury Stakes - a 1 1/2 mile handicap, worth £251 in 1898 Stockbridge Cup Stakes - a 6 furlong race, worth £290 Hurstborne Stakes - a 5 furlong race for two-year-olds, worth £622 Arlington Plate - a mile handicap, worth £460 Champagne Stakes - a 5 furlong race for two-year-olds, worth £340 In 1898, the land on which the eastern end of the course stood was inherited by Marianne Vaudrey who disapproved of gambling, therefore refused to extend the lease. At the time, Jockey Club rules stated that all racecourses should have a straight mile and since Stockbridge's straight mile extended into this area of land, the course was forced to close; the final meeting took place on 7 July 1898. After closure, the gallops served as a testing site for Spitfires during World War II. Meanwhile, the Bibury Club Grandstand, which opened in 1867, survived until 1973, when it was destroyed by fire; the ivy-covered ruins of the Grandstand are in a precarious condition.

Today, the ground on which the course stood is part of the Danebury Racing Stables estate owned by trainer Ken Cunningham-Brown. The Southern half of the course is now part of an organic dairy farm farmed by A Burnfield & Sons Ltd. Graham, Eric. Stockbridge Racecourse - The Last Ten Years 1889 - 1898. Retrieved 17 April 2013.

This is a list of schools on the Isle of Wight, England. There are 41 state-maintained primary schools on the Isle of Wight, after Chale Primary School closed in July 2011 following the schools reorganisation - it had a roll of only 20 pupils. Merges meant that the number of primary schools on the island decreased: St Wilfrids Catholic Primary, St Boniface C of E Primary and St Margarets C of E Primary all closed and reopened as St Francis Catholic and Church of England Primary School on the site of the old Ventnor Middle School in a purpose built, brand new building. A number of other primary schools moved to former middle school sites including Gurnard Primary School to the old Solent Middle School site in Cowes, Hunnyhill Primary School to the old Kitbridge Middle School site in Newport, Greenmount Primary to the old Mayfield Middle School site in Ryde, Oakfield C of E Primary School to the old Bishop Lovett Middle School site in Ryde, Bembridge Primary School to the old Forelands Middle School site in Bembridge and Broadlea Primary School to the old Lake Middle School site in Lake.

In addition, Haylands Primary School has had a brand new school built on the playing fields of the former Swanmore Middle School in Ryde. There are seven island secondary schools, all of which have a sixth form; the sixth forms for Carisbrooke College and Medina College are merged, are based at the new Island Innovation VI Form Campus, on the site of the former Nodehill Middle School in the centre of Newport. State-maintained special schools on the Isle of Wight include: Medina House School, St George's School, Island Learning Centre Isle of Wight College acts as the main provider of vocational further education on the island. Independent schools on the island include: Ryde School with Upper Chine Priory SchoolThere is St Catherines School, a non-maintained special school. Previous middle schools below have now been phased out during the transition to a two-tier education system. Education on the Island has suffered since this happened and most of the secondary schools are now deemed unsatisfactory or have gone into special measures.

There were 16 state-maintained middle schools on the Isle of Wight, including two voluntary aided church schools and two controlled church schools. In July 2008, the two voluntary aided middle schools, which are both located on Wellington Road in Carisbrooke and reopened in September of the same year as Christ the King College, from September 2009, kept on its Year 8 pupils of the previous academic year as Year 9 pupils and started the transition from middle school to secondary school age range. In line with the rest of the Island, September 2009 was the last year in which a Year 5 was admitted to the Christ the King College. Instead, all Year 5 pupils, consequently Year 6 pupils, on the island remained in primary schools from September 2010 onwards. Additionally, Kitbridge Middle School became federated with Downside Middle School, the two schools both became Downside Middle School, but were split across the two separate campuses in Newport. All middle schools on the island, other than Christ The King College, closed for pupils as of July 21, 2011.

Instead of the four years at middle school, children have been given 2 extra years in primary school and move straight onto secondary school. Children in middle school transferred straight to the new secondary schools at the start of the next academic year, whether they are in year 6, 7 or 8.
