مرآة باردة

مرآة باردة
المرآة الباردة (بالإنجليزية: cold mirror ) هي نوع خاص من مرآة الاستقطاب تعكس كل طيف الضوء المرئي بينما تدع الأشعة تحت الحمراء تنفذ خلالها . وكما هو الحال للمرآة الساخنة ، يمكن ضبط وضع المرآة في الجهاز الضوئي بحيث تعمل مع شعاع الضوء زاوية بين 0 درجة إلى 45 درجة . وهي مرايا مكونة من عدة طبقات رقيقة جدا من مواد استقطابية متتابعة بحيث تؤدي عمل مرشح التداخل الضوئي (أنظرمرآة استقطاب).
استخداماتها
يمكن استخدام المرايا الباردة في فاصل فيض الضوء مع أنظمة الليزر من أجل عكس الضوء المرئي إلى المصدر مع ترك الأشعة تحت الحمراء تنفذ منه بدون خسارة في شدتها.

Sulfur tetrachloride

Sulfur tetrachloride is an inorganic compound with chemical formula SCl4. It has only been obtained as an unstable pale yellow solid. The corresponding SF4 is a stable, useful reagent.
Preparation and structure
It is obtained by treating sulfur dichloride with chlorine at 193 K:
It melts with simultaneous decomposition above −20 °C.
Its solid structure is uncertain. It is probably the salt SCl3+Cl−, since related salts are known with noncoordinating anions. In contrast to this tetrachloride, SF4 is a neutral molecule.
Reactions
It decomposes above −30 °C (242 K) to sulfur dichloride and chlorine.
It hydrolyzes readily:
Sulfur tetrachloride reacts with water, producing hydrogen chloride and sulfur dioxide through the hydrolysis process. Thionyl chloride is an implied intermediate.
Oxidized by nitric acid:

HaMakhtesh HaGadol

HaMakhtesh HaGadol (lit. The Big Crater) or simply Makhtesh HaGadol or Makhtesh Gadol, is a makhtesh, a geological erosional landform of Israel's Negev desert. It measures 5 x 10 km.
A makhtesh has steep walls of resistant rock surrounding a deep closed valley. One of five makhteshim in Israel and seven in the world, HaMakhtesh HaGadol is the second largest, and is drained by one river, Nahal Hatira. Makhtesh Gadol was discovered and named before Makhtesh Ramon, which is the largest known makhtesh. This can lead to confusion and Makhtesh Gadol is therefore currently often named as Makhtesh Yeruham or Yeruham Crater.
HaMakhtesh HaGadol is near Yeruham, Israel's first development town, established in the early days of the state. The location was chosen because the region was thought to be rich in natural resources.

Aksel Hennie

Aksel Hennie (born 29 October 1975) is a Norwegian actor, director, and screenwriter. He is best known for his roles in the films Headhunters (2011), Hercules (2014), and The Martian (2015).
Early life
Hennie was born in the Lambertseter suburb of Oslo on 29 October 1975. In his late teens, he was arrested for graffitiing, and became an outcast in the graffiti community after confessing to the police. His "writes" or signatures were "Ceel" and "Mikro" and can still be seen around Oslo. Most of them are crossed out or lined over because of his confession. This personal story contributed much of the background for the film Uno. The conviction against Hennie was one of the first such cases in Norway.
Career
Hennie was admitted to the Norwegian National Academy of Theatre after applying four times. He graduated in 2001, and has acted both at Teatret Vårt in Molde (2001–2002) and at Oslo Nye Teater (since 2002), where he has been in plays such as Hamlet and Kvinnen Som Gifftet Seg Med en Kalkun (The Woman Who Married a Turkey).
Hennie's most notable success has been as a film actor. He made his debut starring in the feature film Jonny Vang in 2003. Although the director, Jens Lien, originally thought Hennie was too young for the role, the actor convinced him he was the right man for the film. That same year, he also acted in the films Buddy and Ulvesommer. The next year, Hennie made his debut as a director and writer with the film, Uno, in which he also acted. For this role, Hennie and his co-star, Nicolai Cleve Broch, undertook six months of hard physical training in order to perform convincingly as bodybuilders.
In 2001, Hennie was named "Theatre Talent of the Year" by the newspaper Dagbladet. Hennie won the Amanda Award (an important Norwegian film award), for "Best Direction" for Uno in 2005. That year he was among the nominees for "Best Actor" and "Best Film." He won an Amanda Award for "Best Actor" for Jonny Vang in 2003. He was named one of European film's "Shooting Stars" by the European Film Promotion in 2004.
In 2008, Hennie starred in Max Manus, where he played the Norwegian war hero of the same name. The film had a large budget by Norwegian standards. In 2011, Age of Heroes was released, a World War II film primarily shot in Norway. On 30 August 2013, Pionér, a docudrama, was released. Hennie plays the main role as a commercial offshore diver in the North Sea during the 1970s who witnesses an accident while diving under extreme conditions, prompting him to search for answers.
On 1 December 2013, Hennie won an Angela Award at the Subtitle European Film Festival in Kilkenny for his role in the film 90 Minutes. That evening he appeared at a showing of Headhunters, and did a question and answer session with the audience in the theatre after the film.

وارنر سكاراب

وارنر سكاراب محرك طائرة شعاعي أمريكي، مكون من 7 أسطوانات وصُنع بواسطة مؤسسة وارنر للطائرات في ديترويت في ميشيجان في عام 1928. استمر إنتاجه حتى بداية الأربعينيات، وعُرف في الخدمة العسكرية بمسمى أر-240.
الطرازات
سكاراب اس 50
محرك شعاعي مكون من 7 أسطوانات و يُبرد بالهواء. كُشف عنه في عام 1928، وأُنتج بقطر أسطوانة وطول شوط يساويان 4.25 بوصة، و نسبة انضغاط 1:5.2.
بلغت قدرة المحرك 125 حصان (93 كيلو وات) عند 2050 دورة/دقيقة، وكانت سعته و وزنه الصافي على الترتيب 7 لتر و129 كجم.
سكاراب جونيور
نسخة مكونة من 5 أسطوانات، عُرضت في عام 1930. بلغت قدرته 90 حصان (67 كيلو وات) عند 2125 دورة/دقيقة، وكانت سعته ووزنه الصافي على الترتيب 5 لتر و104 كجم.
سوبر سكاراب اس اس-50/50 ايه
أُنتجت هذه النسخة بقطر أسطوانة أكبر مقداره 4.625 بوصة، لتنتج قدرة 145حصان (108 كيلو وات) عند 2050 دورة/دقيقة، وبسعة قدرها 8 لتر ووزن صافي 137 كجم.
سوبر سكاراب اس اس-165
زودت نسبة الانضغاط في هذه النسخة من 1:5.2 إلى 1:6.4 لتصبح القدرة الناتجة 165 حصان (123 كيلو وات) عند 2100 دورة/دقيقة.

تسمية بديلة لمحرك وارنر سوبر سكاراب 185 (اسُتخدم في الأساس للمروحيات).
التطبيقات
استُخدم المحرك في العديد من الاستخدامات، من ضمنها طائرة سيسنا ايرماستر و فيرتشايلد 24. كما استُخدم لتشغيل طائرة سيكورسكي أر-4 في عام 1942، وكانت أول مروحية تُنتج.
مازالت العديد من هذه المحركات تشغل الطائرات التي وُضعت فيها حتى اليوم.
كانت محركات وارنر ذات القدرة الحصانية 145 و165 أكثر المحركات الشعاعية الصغيرة التي اسُتخدمت في الطائرات الأمريكية المصنعة قبل الحرب العالمية الثانية، وذلك بسبب توفر قطع الغيار الجيدة للمحركات التي استُخدمت في طائرات الحرب العالمية الثانية مثل فيرتشايلد يو سي 61 اس، وطائرة مييرس أو تي دبليو اس.
تُطلب محركات وارنر أيضاً بسبب حجمها المناسب و قدرتها، وكبديلاً لمحركات العديد من طائرات حقبة الحرب العالمية الأولى سواء أصلية أو مرممة، والتي كانت مزودة في الأصل بمحركات دوارة.
استُخدم المحرك في الطائرات التالية:

Pierre Falardeau

Pierre Falardeau (December 28, 1946 – September 25, 2009) was a Québécois film and documentary director, pamphleteer and noted activist for Quebec independence.
Falardeau wrote at least one book, Rien n'est plus précieux que la liberté et l'indépendance. He died on September 25, 2009, following a long battle with cancer. He was entombed at the Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery in Montreal.
Political views
With regard to minorities, Falardeau stated he did not care whether someone was white, black, yellow or green with orange polka dots; those who supported independence he considered brothers and sisters, and those who did not were "the enemy".
Falardeau created some controversy during his career. For example, in 2006, a photograph surfaced of him at an August 2006 Montreal pro-Palestinian rally about the Israel-Lebanon conflict. The picture shows Falardeau with some young men and his friend and filmmaking partner Julien Poulin holding a Hezbollah flag. When asked to comment, Falardeau responded that he approached the men to understand why they supported Hezbollah, and that the flag belonged to the young men.
