Dornier Do 214

Dornier Do 214
The Dornier Do 214 was a proposed large long-range flying boat, developed by Dornier in World War II.
Development
Originally designed as the Do P.93 for passenger transatlantic service from Lisbon to New York, the Do 214 was redesigned as the P.192 for military service in early 1940. In 1941, a full-sized fuselage mockup was constructed in order to evaluate the interior layout. The fuselage was streamlined, having a round cross-section, with the interior consisting of two decks.
Its wings featured a small amount of sweep on the leading edge, with straight trailing edges, and were shoulder-mounted on the fuselage. Eight Daimler-Benz DB 613 24-cylinder "power-system" engines — themselves consisting of a pair of Daimler-Benz DB 603 inverted V12 engines, paired up to run a single propeller like the DB 605-based "DB 610" engines of the Heinkel He 177A, and themselves weighing over apiece (the DB 613 "power systems" would have weighed more like 1.8 tonnes apiece) — provided the power, with four tractor engines and four pusher engines. All eight "power system"
engines, using a total of 16 DB 603s to complete them, provided power to two quartets of four-blade VDM variable-pitch propellers; the front propellers had a 5.00 m (16 ft 5 in) diameter, the rear propellers had a 4.60 m (15 ft 1 in) diameter.
The mammoth eight-engine design was intended for use as a military transport, with a large bow door admitting vehicles and bulky freight to the upper deck. It was also designed for use as a long-range bomber, flying tanker, aerial minelayer and U-boat supply vessel. By 1943, it was realized that long-range flying boats were not needed due to the worsening war situation, and the Do 214 project was canceled.
Göppingen Gö 8
A 1/5 scale model glider of the Dornier Do 214 was designed and built as the Göppingen Gö 8, by Wolf Hirth and Ulrich Hütter. For hydrodynamic stability tests of the hull integrated floats, in collaboration with the Göttingen aerodynamic laboratory, the glider was towed by a boat.
Specifications
The following specifications are for Do P.192-01 / Do 214 / civil airliner / DB 613C engines.

Robert Boyd (Australian politician)

Robert Boyd (Australian politician)
Robert Livingstone Boyd (11 December 1885 – 30 May 1951) was a member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly.
Biography
Boyd was born at "Lara", on the Logan River in Queensland, the son of Robert Boyd Snr. and his wife May (née McDonald).

He died in May 1951 in Brisbane and his body was taken to Gayndah where his funeral proceeded from St Matthew's Church of England to the Gayndah Cemetery.
Public career
Following the resignation of Bernard Corser in 1928, Boyd, a member of the Country and Progressive National Party, won the resulting by-election for the seat of Burnett in the Queensland Legislative Assembly. He held the seat until the 1932 Queensland state election when Burnett was abolished and he retired from politics.

Battle of the Vozha River

Battle of the Vozha River
The Battle of the Vozha River (Russian: Битва на реке Воже) was a battle fought between the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Golden Horde on 11 August 1378. Mamai sought to punish the Russians for disobedience.
The Russians were led by Prince Dmitri Ivanovich of Moscow, who had not yet received his nickname Donskoi. The Tatars were commanded by murza Begich. The two armies met near the river Vozha, a tributary of the Oka. After successful reconnaissance Dmitri managed to block the ford which the Tatars intended to use for the crossing of the river. He and his troops held a good position on a hill. The Russians' formation was in the shape of a bow with Donskoy leading the center and the flanks under the command of Timofey Velyaminov and Andrei of Polotsk.
After waiting a long time, Begich decided to cross the river and to encircle the Russians from both sides. However, the attack of the Tatar cavalry was repelled and the Russians went over to a counter-attack. The Tatars left their tracks and began retreating in disorder, many of them drowned in the river. Begich himself was killed.
The Vozha battle was the first serious victory of the Russians over a big army of the Golden Horde. It had a big psychological effect before the famous Battle of Kulikovo because it demonstrated the vulnerability of the Tatar cavalry which was unable to overcome tough resistance or withstand determined counter-attacks. For Mamai, the defeat of Vozha meant a direct challenge by Dmitry which caused him to start a new unsuccessful campaign two years later.
Historian A.V. Azovtsev, in his 2021 book «Боище, иже на Воже»: от бывальщины к небылице, after analyzing the main primary source on the battle, Повесть о битве на реке Воже, as well as other chronicles, questions whether such a battle ever took place.

Lucio Rossi

Lucio Rossi (born 24 September 1955) is an Italian physicist who is working in the field of superconductivity. He has been working since 2001 at CERN, on leave from the University of Milan, where he directed the Magnets & Superconductors for the LHC project, worth €1.7 billion, half of the machine's entire budget. He was the project leader of the HL-LHC project.
Biography
Lucio Rossi was born in Podenzano, Italy on 24 September 1955.
In 1981 he obtained his 'Laurea' in physics from University of Milan with a thesis on plasma physics.
He was an academic researcher for many years after, interested in applied superconductivity for particle accelerators and in 1992 he became Professor of Experimental Physics in the University of Milan.
During the 1990s, Rossi was involved in many experiments such as the Superconducting Cyclotron (SC) currently in Catania, HERA at DESY in Hamburg and Large Hadron Collider at Cern. His main activities were the design and construction of coils, solenoids, superconductors and prototypes for magnets.
From 2001-2011 he led the Magnet Superconductor and Cryostat Group(MSC) for the LHC project. Since 2011 he has been leader of the High Luminosity for LHC. In 2011 at the international symposium on subnuclear physics held in Vatican City, he gave a talk The Large Hadron Collider of CERN and the Roadmap Toward Higher Performance.
Since 1985 Rossi is one of the founders of "Euresis", a Milan-based association for the promotion of scientific culture established in Milan.
From October 2020 he resumed active service as full professor at the Physics Department of the University of Milan.

Elopidae

Elopidae
The Elopidae are a family of ray-finned fish containing a single living genus Elops. They are commonly known as ladyfish, skipjacks, jack-rashes, or tenpounders.
The ladyfish are a coastal-dwelling fish found throughout the tropical and subtropical regions, occasionally venturing into temperate waters. Spawning takes place at sea, and the fish larvae migrate inland entering brackish waters. Their food is smaller fish and crustaceans (shrimp). Typically throughout the species, the maximum size is and the maximum weight . The body is fusiform (tapering spindle shape) and oval in cross-section; being slightly laterally compressed, and the eyes are large and partially covered with adipose eyelids.
Like those of eels, the larvae are leptocephalic - being highly compressed, ribbon-like, and transparent. After initial growth, they shrink and then metamorphose into the adult form.
This family is fished, but their bodies are bony, so these fish are not marketed widely for consumption. They are caught and used as bait or may be ground down for fish meal.
The name comes from the Greek ellops - a kind of serpent.
Species
The currently recognized species in this genus are:
Elops affinis Regan, 1909 (Pacific ladyfish)
†Elops bultyncki Nolf 2004
Elops hawaiensis Regan, 1909 (Hawaiian ladyfish or giant herring)
Elops lacerta Valenciennes, 1847 (West African ladyfish or Guinean ladyfish)
Elops machnata (Forsskål, 1775) (tenpounder)
†Elops miiformis Lin et al. 2016
Elops saurus Linnaeus, 1766 (ladyfish)
Elops senegalensis Regan, 1909 (Senegalese ladyfish)
Elops smithi McBride, Rocha, Ruiz-Carus & Bowen, 2010 (malacho)

David Morgan (cricket administrator)

David Morgan (cricket administrator)
(Frederick) David Morgan (born 6 October 1937), is a British cricket administrator, who served as President of the International Cricket Council from 2008 to 2010.
Chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board (2002–07), Morgan was previously Chairman of Glamorgan County Cricket Club (1993–97), later President (2012–14).
Biography
Born at Tredegar in Gwent, in 1993 Morgan succeeded Tony Lewis as Chairman of Glamorgan CCC, a position he held until 1997 when he joined the ECB board as Deputy Chairman under Ian, Baron MacLaurin of Knebworth. When Lord MacLaurin stepped down from the ECB in 2002, Morgan stood for election and became Chairman in October 2002 upon winning eleven votes to the eight of his opposing candidate, Mike Soper.
