A diamond knife is a very sharp knife in which the edge is made from diamond, invented by Humberto Fernández-Morán in 1955. Diamond knives are used for medical and scientific applications where an extremely sharp and long-lasting edge is essential. The knives are very expensive to purchase, depending on the quality and size of the knife; in addition the knives must be professionally sharpened as the edge dulls.

Eye surgery
Diamond knives are used in eye surgery, specifically in refractive surgery.

In particular they are the main tool, together with the microscope, for the radial keratotomy invented by Svyatoslav Fyodorov to correct myopia and for the Mini Asymmetric Radial Keratotomy (M.A.R.K.), invented by Marco Abbondanza to correct astigmatism and cure the first and second stages of keratoconus.

Ultramicrotomy
Metal microtome knives or razor blades are too soft and dull to cut ultrathin sections. In 1950, Latta and Hartmann discovered that the edge of broken glass could be used to cut thin sections of specimens for transmission electron microscopy. Glass knives are used in ultramicrotomy for trimming specimen blocks and cutting thin  and ultrathin sections. A skilled operator can cut a small number of ultrathin sections with a glass knife, while the same operator can use a diamond knife to cut thousands of sections on one area of knife. Some hard specimens, such as bone, plants, thick-walled spores, metals and ceramics are difficult to cut, even with a good glass knife, because the edge dulls too quickly. 

Humberto Fernández-Morán discovered that a gem-quality diamond, the hardest known material, could be used to fabricate a more durable knife for use in the ultramicrotomy. Diamond knives are both delicate and expensive, usually costing several thousand dollars. Natural gemstones used to produce diamond knives are usually pale yellow, of regular crystal structure and of the greatest possible purity. The grinding process usually reduces the stones to 50% of their original weight. The diamond blade is then mounted into a soft metal shaft (Wood's metal) and finally polished to a very sharp edge. The knife's edge is extremely sharp and free of imperfections, which helps produce ultrathin sections of very regular thickness to get views of specimens at high magnifications with the transmission electron microscope (TEM). The shaft containing the final edge is then mounted in a metal trough, or "boat", and cemented, usually with an epoxy plastic. Diamond knives are also used for specimen preparation in atomic force microscopy.

Types
There are many styles and types of diamond knives. For the most part, they can be made for use dry or wet. Blade angles of diamond knives vary from 35 to 60 degrees. The smaller angled knives are used for finer cutting, but these knives are prone to damage. Wide angle knives have better life expectancy.

In Indian astronomy, there are 27 nakshatras , or sectors along the ecliptic. A list of them is first found in the Vedanga Jyotisha, a text dated to the final centuries BCE. The Nakṣatra system predates the influence of Hellenistic astronomy on Vedic tradition, which became prevalent from about the 2nd century CE. There are various systems of enumerating the Nakṣatra-s; although there are 27-28 days to a sidereal month, by custom only 27 days are used. The following list gives the corresponding regions of sky. Months in the modern Indian national calendar -- despite still carrying names that derive from the nakshatras -- do not signify any material correlation. It stands to reason that during the original naming of these months -- whenever that happened -- they were indeed based on the nakshatiras that coincided with them in some manner. The modern Indian national calendar is a solar calendar, much like the Gregorian calendar wherein solstices and equinoxes fall on the same date(s) every year.

Padas (quarters)
The 27 Nakshatras cover 13°20’ of the ecliptic each. Each Nakshatra is also divided into quarters or padas of 3°20’, and the below table lists the appropriate starting sound to name the child. The 27 nakshatras, each with 4 padas, give 108, which is the number of beads in a Japa mala, indicating all the elements (ansh) of Vishnu:

Names in Indian and Asian languages
The names of nakshatras in other languages are adapted from the Sanskrit variation (apabhramsa) through Pali or Prakrit. The variations evolved for easier pronunciation in popular usage.

The LAK-15, sometimes known as the LAK-15 Lietuve, was a high performance sailplane designed to set records. A one-off, it was built in the late 1980s in Lithuania, then a member of the USSR.

Design and development

The LAK-15 was designed as a record breaking sailplane and so had a very large () span wing with an aspect ratio of 38.4. This was trapezoidal in plan, with 3° of dihedral. It was set at mid-fuselage, built around a single, carbon fibre spar and skinned with three-ply glass fibre/carbon fibre. There were high aspect ratio ailerons over at least half the span, with two flaps inboard. Each wing also had a spoiler and a tank for about  of water ballast.

The oval section fuselage, built of composites, was deepest ahead of the wing with the pilot in semi-reclining position under a long single-piece canopy. Behind the wing the fuselage was very slender and ended with an integral, trapezoidal profile fin. The LAK-15 had a T-tail, with a trapezoidal-plan tailplane carrying rectangular elevators. The fin also carried a broad, rectangular profile rudder.

The LAK-15 landed on a retractable monowheel, equipped with a shock absorber and brake, and a fixed tailwheel.

Operational history

The first flight was in 1989 and tests followed, but little more is known. No records were set and there is some evidence to suggest the performance was disappointing. Only one LAK-15 was built.

Marian Geszke (born 3 September 1943) is a retired Polish football manager.

Early years

Geszke was born in Pinsk, which before World War II was part of Poland. At the time of his birth however Pinsk had been a part of the Soviet Union following the Soviet invasion of Poland, and the incorporation of Eastern Poland into the USSR. After the war Geszke and his family were sent to the modern day Poland, initially being sent to Chełm before being redirected to Sopot which is where the family settled.

Managerial career

In total Geszke managed all three big teams in the Tricity, Lechia Gdańsk, Bałtyk Gdynia and Arka Gdynia. His first managerial appointment was with Bałtyk Gdynia in 1970, before joining Stoczniowiec Gdańsk for 3 years, and then eventually ended up at Lechia Gdańsk in 1976. Geszke had various short spells at many different clubs, including ŁKS Łódź, Zawisza Bydgoszcz, as well as Lechia Gdańsk and Bałtyk Gdynia again for a second time. In 1995 he moved to the United States and joined up with a Polish club in Chicago, Cracovia Chicago. Despite not initially staying in the US for long, as he rejoined Lechia for a third time and then had a short spell with Arka Gdynia, he moved back to Chicago and spent the next 5 years there. In 2000 he came back to Poland to manage Bałtyk Gdynia for the third time, a position he held until 2001. In 2004 Geszke joined Wigry Suwałki before having his last two spells in management before his retirement, both with Cartusia Kartuzy.
