Description
The Menon system fired a  projectile weighing  to a maximum range of . It fired 21 rounds in 70 seconds that covered an area of about .

The initial version consisted of a three-barrel mortar in a rotating, enclosed mounting that was usually positioned forward of the superstructure, but aft of the gun mounts. This was replaced by the K 113 weapon with a single  barrel in the same type of mounting, albeit with a fixed elevation of 45°. By varying the gas vent valves in the three powder chambers, the weapon had a range between . The K 113 fired a seven-round pattern, loaded automatically from a seven-round cylinder.

Daviesia costata is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a straggling, multi-stemmed shrub with scattered, erect, linear phyllodes, and yellow and dark red flowers.

Description
Daviesia costata is a straggling, multi-stemmed, glabrous shrub that typically grows up to  high and  wide. Its leaves are reduced to scattered, erect, linear phyllodes  long and  wide, with a prominent mid-rib. The flowers are arranged mostly in groups of three to eight in upper leaf axils on a peduncle  long, each flower on a pedicel  long with sticky bracts about  long at the base. The sepals are  long and joined at the base with five purple-tinged lobes. The standard is yellow with a dark red base, egg-shaped, deeply notched, about  long and  wide. The wings and keel are dark red and about  long. Flowering mainly occurs in September and October and the fruit is a flattened, triangular pod  long.

Taxonomy
Davieia costata was first formally described in 1920 by Edwin Cheel in the Journal and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Western Australia based on specimens collected by Max Koch "at Queenswood, on the Preston Valley Railway". The specific epithet (costata) mean "ribbed", referring to the stems.

Distribution and habitat
This daviesia usually grows in open forest on sandy soil on flat and sloping sites between Toodyay and the Blackwood River on the Darling Range to Corrigin and Katanning, in the Avon Wheatbelt, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia.

Conservation status
Daviesia costata is listed as "not threatened" by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.

Raimbaut de Vaqueiras or Vaqueyras (fl. 1180 – 1207) was a Provençal troubadour and, later in his life, knight. His life was spent mainly in Italian courts until 1203, when he joined the Fourth Crusade. His writings, particularly the so-called Epic Letter, form an important commentary on the politics of the Latin Empire in its earliest years. Vaqueiras's works include a multilingual poem, Eras quan vey verdeyar where he used French, Italian, Galician-Portuguese and Gascon, together with his own Provençal. 

Vaqueiras was from Vacqueyras, near Orange. He spent most of his career as court poet and close friend of Boniface I of Montferrat, with whom he served in battle against the communes of Asti and Alessandria. Vaqueiras claimed he earned a knighthood through protecting Boniface with his shield in battle at Messina, when they took part in Emperor Henry VI's invasion of Sicily. He was present at the siege and capture of Constantinople in 1204, and then accompanied Boniface to Thessalonica. It is generally presumed that Raimbaut died on 4 September 1207, together with Boniface, in an ambush by the Vlach. 

The only critical edition of Vaqueiras attributes 33 extant songs to him; only eight of the associate melodies have survived. He used a wide range of styles, including a descort, several cansos and tensos, an alba and a gap; he, with Perdigon and Ademar de Peiteus, invented the torneyamen (or, at least, left us its earliest example). One of his songs, "Kalenda Maia", is referred to as an estampida and is considered one of the best troubadour melodies. However, according to the razó, he borrowed the tune from two other musicians. This would explain why the song is called an estampida, which is, theoretically, a purely instrumental piece.

Vaqueiras in fiction
In 1922, Vaqueiras was the subject of a verse drama by Nino Berrini, Rambaldo di Vaqueiras: I Monferrato. Strongly derivative of Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac and La Princesse Lointaine, it presents a highly romantic, fictionalised image of the poet, in love with his patron's daughter Beatrice. At the end, he returns, mortally wounded, from Thessalonica, to die in her arms.

Vaqueiras and the song "Kalenda Maya" are referenced disparagingly by the protagonist-narrator in Nicole Galland's novel Crossed: A Tale of the Fourth Crusade.

A similar fictionalised account of a courtly love relationship between Vaqueiras and Beatrice del Carretto (subject of Vaqueiras's early songs, daughter of Boniface of Montserrat and Helena del Bosco) is the subject of a short story, Miłość i płaszcz (The Love and the Cloak), by Teodor Parnicki, dating from the period between 1933–1939.

Elisabeth Johanna Amelia Caland (13 January 1862 in Rotterdam − 26 January 1929 in Berlin) was a German pianist, piano teacher and theorist of piano technique of Dutch origin.

Life 

Caland was born in Rotterdam. She received her first education in Rotterdam. Afterwards she studied piano with Marie Jaëll in Paris and 1884-86 with Ludwig Deppe in Berlin, after which she continued her education with Anna and Horace F. Clark-Steiniger (both were also students of Deppe), and 1895-96 with  (music theory). She first taught piano in Wiesbaden, since 1898 in Berlin and since 1915 in Gehlsdorf and Rostock. She represented Deppe's conception of piano playing by means of coordinated movement of the whole arm instead of an isolated finger movement that emerged from harpsichord playing. She advocated this way of playing, which was in confrontation with the usual way of playing at the time. She was the first to establish the conscious lowering of the shoulder blade as an art movement to develop the back muscles as a source of strength when playing the piano, which she taught practically. She also introduced the shaking movement from the shoulder into the methodology as a systematic basis for the execution of tremolo figures and trills. She wrote several books on piano technique, in which she described the "Deppe's method", as well as articles in the journal Musikpädagogische Blätter.

Caland died in Berlin at the age of 67.

The Fleet's In is a 1942 movie musical produced by Paramount Pictures, directed by Victor Schertzinger, and starring Dorothy Lamour and William Holden.  Although sharing the title of the 1928 Paramount film starring Clara Bow and Jack Oakie, it was not a remake.  It was actually the second film version of the 1933 Kenyon Nicholson–Charles Robinson stage play Sailor, Beware!, enlivened with songs by Schertzinger and lyricist Johnny Mercer. The score, under the musical direction of Victor Young, includes the popular hits "Tangerine", and "I Remember You".

Jimmy Dorsey and his band are prominently featured in the movie. Supporting cast members include Eddie Bracken, singers Betty Jane Rhodes and Cass Daley, and Betty Hutton in her film debut.

This was the final film of Schertzinger's long directorial career. He died in October 1941, before this production's release.

Plot
When unassuming sailor Casey Kirby goes backstage for a famous actress's autograph, he winds up kissing her for a publicity photo. The photo circulates, and Kirby earns a reputation as a ladies man among his fellow sailors. They bet on the chances of him kissing the stand-offish star "The Countess" of the Swingland club during a four-day leave in San Francisco. When they arrive in San Francisco, Kirby attempts to win the bet and finds that he has earnestly fallen in love with the Countess and wants to marry her. Their romance is complicated by the Countess finding out about the bet and assuming that his advances are only to win the bet, although she finds that she has fallen in love with him.

The LSK489 is a monolithic N-Channel JFET designed and built by Linear Integrated Systems, Inc.LIS Inc, a Fremont, CA company.  The part was introduced in 2013 and was named by EDN Tech as one of the “2013 EDN Hot 100” electronics industry innovations for the year. In a product review published earlier that year, EDN noted:
This JFET is part of a family of ultra-low-noise, dual JFET.

Part characteristics
The LSK489 is an N-channel monolithic dual JFET with 1.8 nV per square root Hz noise at 1kHz and low-capacitance  (Ciss= 4pF).  The part is not graded with respect to IDSS, with the typical value being 5 mA, a low of 2.5 mA and a high of 15 mA.  Characteristics include: 
Tight differential voltage match vs. current; 
Improved op amp speed settling time accuracy; 
Minimum Input Error trimming error voltage;
Lower intermodulation distortion.
The part achieves very low noise with respect to its transconductance, which is attributed to the producer’s ability to eliminate almost all of the generation-recombination noise usually present in JFETs. 
The part is available in TO-71, SOIC-A, and SOT-23 packages, as well as bare die.

Related parts
The LSK489 (N-Channel Monolithic Dual JFET) and LSJ689  (P-Channel Monolithic Dual JEFT), also produced by Linear Integrated Systems, are complementary pairs. These two parts are the only complementary dual JFETs pair currently in production. The LSK489 is simular in electrical performance when compared to the LS843 series and the U401-403 series (Siliconix), the LSK489 has superior noise characteristics.  It has slightly higher noise than the LSK389 (1.8 nV vs. 0.9 nV) but lower CISS (4pF vs. 20pF).

Applications
The LSK489 is used in a wide range of front-end signal chain applications, including audio preamps, piezoelectric element preamps and photodiode preamps.  The part is also used in high-end sensor systems ranging from hydrophones to the front end of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) being developed by SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
