# M3 Amphibious Rig

The M3 Amphibious Rig is a self-propelled, amphibious bridging vehicle and ferrying vehicle that is used for the transportation of tanks and other vehicles across water obstacles.

## Development and service

Originally developed by the German firm Eisenwerke Kaiserslautern (EWK, since 2002 acquired by General Dynamics European Land Systems), it succeeded the conceptually similar M2 made by the same company. Like its predecessor, the M3 traverses roads on its four wheels, deploying two large aluminium pontoons for buoyancy on water.
The M3 is 1.4 metres (4.6 ft) longer and 3,300 kg (7,300 lb) heavier than the M2, with the M3 having a turn diameter of 24 metres (79 ft).
Development of the M3 began in 1982, with the final prototype being delivered 10 years later in 1992. A first order of 64 serial vehicles was made in 1994, and it entered service with the German and British armies in 1996. Since then, the M3 has also been adopted by several NATO and allied nations.

## Operating concept

The M3 is self-deployable by road, operating as a 4x4 wheeled vehicle with a maximum road speed of 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph). For amphibious operation, two large aluminium pontoons are deployed, unfolding them along the length of its hull. The crew exits the vehicle cab to maneuver the pontoon using controls located on top of the hull. In water, the M3 is propelled at speeds of up to 14 km/h (8.7 mph) by two pump jets that can be steered in 360-degrees.
Multiple rigs can be joined together using long ramps, four of which are carried on each vehicle, to form a bridge or a ferry that can be used to cross a water obstacle. Eight M3 Rigs can be used to create a 100-metre-long (330 ft) bridge which can be traversed by vehicles up to and including the heaviest 60-tonne (130,000 lb) main battle tank like the Leopard 2A6 and Challenger 2. Alternatively, just two M3 Rigs may be joined to create a ferry capable of carrying a similar load across much wider water gaps.

## Combat history
### Operation Telic

The M3 Amphibious Bridging Vehicle saw its first combat actions in Operation Telic, Britain's military operations in the Iraq War (until withdrawal in 2011). From 25 March 2003, 23 Amphibious Engineer Squadron, of 28 Engineer Regiment of the Royal Engineers ferried elements of 3 Commando Brigade across the Shatt Al-Basrah waterway, enabling their continued advance on the Iraqi city of Basra. A subsequent riverine crossing at the Rumaila oil fields was also undertaken by the M3. This action transported three AS90 self-propelled howitzers in support of 16 Air Assault Brigade of the British Army.

# Taking the Veil

"Taking the Veil" is a song by the English singer-songwriter David Sylvian. It was the first single released in support of his 1986 album Gone to Earth.
The song's title was inspired by Sylvian's encounter with the Max Ernst collage novel A Little Girl Dreams of Taking the Veil. However, whereas Ernst's volume deals with various forms of angst undergone by its main character, the lyrics to Sylvian's song are much more positive.

# Prévost reaction

The Prévost reaction is a chemical reaction in which an alkene is converted by iodine and the silver salt of benzoic acid to a vicinal diol with anti stereochemistry. The reaction was discovered by the French chemist Charles Prévost (1899–1983).

## Reaction mechanism

The reaction between silver benzoate (1) and iodine is very fast and produces a very reactive iodinium benzoate intermediate (2). The reaction of the iodinium salt (2) with an alkene gives another short-lived iodinium salt (3). Nucleophilic substitution (S$_N$2) by the benzoate salt gives the ester (4). Another silver ion causes the neighboring group substitution of the benzoate ester to give the oxonium salt (5). A second S$_N$2 substitution by the benzoate anion gives the desired diester (6).
In the final step hydrolysis of the ester groups gives the anti-diol. This outcome is the opposite of that of the related Woodward cis-hydroxylation which gives syn addition.
# Stan Andrews (cricketer)

Stanley Andrews (22 November 1912 – 4 October 1979) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played in six first-class matches for Canterbury between 1933 and 1936. His son Bryan played Test cricket for New Zealand in the 1970s.
After one unsuccessful match in the 1933–34 season, Andrews was one of the leading New Zealand bowlers in 1934–35, helping Canterbury win the Plunket Shield. Canterbury won the first two matches: in the first match, against Auckland, Andrews took 3 for 41 and 2 for 43; in the second, against Wellington, he took 1 for 21 and 6 for 59. He was selected to open the bowling for the South Island team against North Island shortly afterwards, and helped South Island to victory by taking 4 for 53 in the first innings. After that season, he played only one more first-class match.
Andrews also played hockey for New Zealand in the 1930s. Later he was prominent in harness racing in Christchurch as a racehorse owner and as an official. He was president of Canterbury Park Trotting Club and a director of Addington Raceway.
# Pepperwood Preserve

Pepperwood Preserve is a 3,117-acre plot of land owned by the Pepperwood Foundation, located in the Mayacamas Mountains in the coast ranges of California near the towns of Santa Rosa and Healdsburg in Sonoma County. The preserve includes the headwaters of Mark West Creek, Franz Creek, and Brooks Creek all of which feed into the Russian River. The highest point on the preserve is 1,560 feet (480 m).

## Management

The California Academy of Science sold the preserve in 2005 to Healdsburg residents Herb and Jane Dwight, who sit on the five-member Pepperwood Foundation board of directors and have donated over $20 million for land and facilities at the preserve. Herb Dwight is the former CEO of Optical Coating Laboratory in Santa Rosa. The facilities include a $9 million, 9,400-square-foot, solar-powered center for environmental research and education. The preserve has an agreement with Santa Rosa Junior College and Sonoma State University to use the site for field studies. Lisa Micheli, with a Ph.D. in geomorphology, was hired as executive director in 2009.
Pacific Gas and Electric installed a microgrid at the site to allow it to remove above-ground power lines.

## Climate

Pepperwood has a Mediterranean climate that includes cool wet winters (November–April) and hot dry summers (May–October). Streams are intermittent. During the wet winter, standing water can be found in numerous small ponds.

## Geological history

Pepperwood's geology is complex with exposures of Glen Ellen sediments, Sonoma volcanics and Franciscan metamorphics. There are several areas with serpentine soils.

## Vegetation

Pepperwood includes redwood and Douglas-fir forests on mesic sites and grassland, woodland, and chaparral on xeric sites. Wetlands are composed of riparian forests, springs, marshes, ponds, and vernal pools.
# Till & McCulloch

Working together, biologists James Till and Ernest McCulloch made contributions to stem cell research by demonstrating the existence of multipotent stem cells in 1961. They helped lay the foundation for modern stem cell biology and regenerative medicine through their work while studying the effects of radiation on the bone marrow of mice at the Ontario Cancer Institute in Toronto.

## Collaboration

Till & McCulloch first published their findings of the discovery of stem cells in the journal Radiation Research. In later work, joined by graduate student Andy Becker, they cemented their stem cell theory and published the results in the journal Nature in 1963.
Till & McCulloch then expanded their research activities and mentored other young scientists, some notable. Scientists that were under the direct supervision of Till or McCulloch were members of their research group, or were co-authors of papers, including the following:
* Louis Siminovitch
* Tak Mak
* Alan Bernstein
* Connie Eaves
* Victor Ling
Both Till & McCulloch continued their research.
Till's focus shifted increasingly towards the evaluation of cancer therapies and quality of life issues in the 1980s. He has positions in organizations including the Stem Cell Network, Project Open Source, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, and others. Among them, Till is:
* University Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto
* Editorial member of the open access journal Journal of Medical Internet Research
* Founding board member of the Canadian Stem Cell Foundation
McCulloch's later research had an emphasis on cellular and molecular mechanisms affecting the growth of malignant blast stem cells from the blood of patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia. McCulloch died on January 20, 2011, shortly before the 50th anniversary of the publication of the 1961 paper in Radiation Research.

## Recognition

Together, James Till and Ernest McCulloch were:
* Awarded the Gairdner Award in 1969
* Recognized with the Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research in 2005

# Dinkan

Dinkan is a fictional anthropomorphic superhero mouse who appears in an eponymous Malayalam comic story series in children's magazine Balamangalam. Some modern day rationalists of Kerala use Dinkan to mock organized religion and religious intolerance.

## History

Dinkan (ഡിങ്കൻ) was created by story-writer N. Somasekharan and artist Baby in 1983. Dinkan was one of the earliest superhero characters created in India and it quickly became popular among children. Like Terrytoons created Mighty Mouse and several other superhero characters, Dinkan borrowed a few traits from the iconic DC Comics character Superman. He also had characteristics of Iron Man.

## Character biography

Dinkan was born in Pankila forest, somewhere in Kerala, India. He was a naughty mouse, who wasn't disciplined. During one of his escapades, Dinkan was abducted by aliens from an unknown planet. They conducted experiments on him which ended up giving him superior strength, enhanced senses and the ability to fly. Somehow Dinkan found himself back in the Pankila forest and he decided to use his powers for the well-being of animals in the forest.

## Dinkoism

Dinkoism has emerged as a parody religion on social networks organized by some atheists in Kerala, India. This religion celebrates Dinkan as their God in an attempt to bring awareness of the fallacies and practices of traditional religions.
BBC covered the Dinkoist religion in its BBCTrending Programme. BBC reported Dinkoism as an atheist movement with significant growth in the social media.

## Growing recognition

On January 3, 2016, a group of dinkoists, calling themselves Mooshikasena (the Rat Army), went to protest in front of actor Dileep's Dhe Puttu Restaurant to protest his film titled Professor Dinkan on the grounds that it offended their religious sentiments. This was a mockery of similar protests around the world, especially in India.
Also in January 2016, a Dinkanist in California won the right to have a license plate for his car with Dinkan written on it, in recognition of his belief.

# BMW S65

The BMW S65 is a naturally aspirated V8 petrol engine which was produced from 2007 to 2013. Its main use was in the BMW M3 (where it replaced the BMW S54 straight-six engine). There is no direct replacement for the S65, since the following generation of M3 switched to a turbocharged straight-six engine (the BMW S55).
Derived from the BMW S85 V10 engine (as used in the E60 M5), the S65 shares the same basic architecture and aluminium construction. Unlike most other BMW M engines, the S65 and S85 are not related to a regular production BMW engine.
The S65 won the International Engine of the Year award for the 3.0 to 4.0 L category in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.

## Design

The S65 shares the same cylinder dimensions with the S85 V10, with a 92 mm (3.6 in) bore and a 75.2 mm (3.0 in) stroke. Other common features include individual throttle bodies, ionic current knock sensing, double-VANOS (variable valve timing) and the 12.0:1 compression ratio. The redline is 8,400 rpm.
To reduce weight, a wet-sump lubrication system with two electrically operated scavenging pumps and a main oil pump replaces the three-pump wet-sump system used on the S85. The dry weight of the S65 is 202 kg (445 lb).
The alternator reduces or stops charging (depending on battery charge level) during acceleration to maximise power, only fully charging the battery during braking and decelerating whenever possible, in a system BMW calls Brake Energy Regeneration.
The engine control unit (ECU/DME) is a Siemens MSS60, which is based on the Siemens MSS65 ECU used in the S85 engine The S65 weighs 202 kg (445 lb), which is 15 kg (33 lb) less than its S54 straight-6 engine predecessor.
The firing order for the S65 engine is 1-5-4-8-7-2-6-3, which is different from the typical BMW V8 firing order of 1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2.

## Versions

| Engine | Displacement | Power | Torque | Year |
| S65B40 | 3,999 cc (244.0 cu in) | 309 kW (420 PS; 414 hp) at 8,300 rpm | 400 N⋅m (295 lb⋅ft) at 3,900 rpm | 2007 |

# Nelson Keene

Malcolm Holland (born 9 March 1942), better known by the stage name of Nelson Keene, is a British pop singer who was prominent in the early 1960s.
Keene was born in Farnborough, Hampshire, one of ten children. As a singer, he was managed by Larry Parnes, who chose his stage name - along with those of many other pop singers of the period including Billy Fury, Marty Wilde, Vince Eager and Georgie Fame - and was signed to His Master's Voice. His first single, "Image of a Girl", a cover version of a US top ten hit by The Safaris, reached No. 37 on the UK Singles Chart in 1960, but was outsold by Mark Wynter's rival version of the same song. Two follow-ups, "Keep Loving Me" (1960) and "Miracles Are Happening To Me" (1961) failed to reach the chart, and Keene's recording career appears to have ended at that point.
Keene was reported as living in Australia in 2010.
