The Manufacture Nationale d’Armes de Tulle, often abbreviated to MAT ("Tulle National Weapons Factory" in English) was a French state-owned weapons manufacturer in the town of Tulle, Corrèze.  Founded in 1690, it was absorbed into the French state-owned defense conglomerate GIAT Industries in the 1980s.

History 
The company was founded in 1690 and was given the status of a royal arms factory in 1777.  It was established as a state-owned enterprise from 1886.

Tulle was one of the most important weapons manufacturers in France, producing, among others, the Chassepot, Lebel, Berthier and RSC M1917 rifles.

Until World War I mainly small-caliber weapons were produced, particularly machine guns. Tulle started intensive production of heavy equipment during the First World War. After the war, intensive efforts were made to develop automatic weapons.

During World War II the company produced weapons for the German occupying power, but was also a haven of resistance. The factory location played a part in the Tulle massacre by the 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich in June 1944.  After the Allied landings in Normandy, all production was moved to Epernay.

After Tulle was liberated, production resumed at the original facility.  After the war, it specialized in light and medium-caliber automatic weapons. The MAT-49 submachine gun was developed at Tulle.

MAT remained the most important employer in the Limousin region (now merged into Nouvelle-Aquitaine) until the 1980s. The company was integrated into the newly-founded GIAT Industries (now Nexter Group) as part of the rationalization of the French arms industry and restructured several times.  A subsidiary (Nexter Mechanics) continues to produce mechanical and hydraulic components for weapon systems at the Tulle location, but increasingly also for civil applications.

There has also been a weapons museum at the site since 1999.

Robert George Harrington (December 3, 1904 – June 15, 1987) was an American astronomer who worked at Palomar Observatory.  He should not be confused with Robert Sutton Harrington, who was also an astronomer, but was born later and worked at the US Naval Observatory.

He discovered or co-discovered a number of comets, including periodic comets 43P/Wolf–Harrington, 51P/Harrington (discovered in 1953), 52P/Harrington–Abell (discovered jointly with George Ogden Abell in 1955) and the comet/asteroid 107P/Wilson–Harrington, which he and Albert Wilson discovered in 1949 and which had become an asteroid by 1988.

Harrington discovered the dwarf galaxy Leo II and co-discovered the globular cluster Palomar 12 with Fritz Zwicky.

The asteroid 3216 Harrington was not named after Robert George Harrington, but rather after Robert Sutton Harrington.  Harrington's name is, however, associated with the asteroid/comet 107P/Wilson–Harrington.

A mock auction is a scam usually operated in a street market, disposal sale or similar environment, where cheap and low quality goods are sold at high prices by a team of confidence tricksters.

History
In 19th century New York, mock auctions revolved around the sale of cigars, horses and high quality furniture. In Denver, confidence man Soapy Smith and his Soap Gang auctioned off shiny brass watches as being made of gold. Other items were soap and candy wrapped with cash prizes. In more recent years the focus has been on electronic consumer goods.

Mock auctions
Typically, during the sale, members of the gang operating the scam will pose as customers; they will be given boxes of high-value goods for a very low price, and will pretend to be very pleased with their bargain purchases. In reality, these goods are handed back and forth between the fake 'lucky customers' and the sellers, out of view of the real customers, after each time the con is completed. The fake auctioneer, who is usually the gang's leader, will often be a skilled, practiced orator, who will typically be able to win the confidence of a substantial proportion of his potential victims.

Techniques
Commonly employed techniques include selling what appear to be boxed, high-quality branded goods, but which are actually very inferior, cheap fakes; or are rejects which have serious faults. Alternatively, the boxes may contain only blocks of wood or breezeblock or bottles of water etc. The gang will have members in the audience throughout the deployment of the scam, and will not allow customers to open any of their purchases in the shop/market. They will quickly lock up, and/or escape before any of the victims realize that they've been conned.

No-one will be given genuine receipts or guarantees, although the gang may claim these documents are within the sealed boxes. In common with many confidence tricksters, the gangs very often move from town to town, city to city etc. to reduce the risk of them being caught. They have been known to use violence when a lone (prospective) victim confronts them.

Roland Robinson (1949, Detroit, Michigan – November 8, 2004, Memphis, Tennessee) was a longtime Memphis studio session bass player and songwriter. Robinson was a cousin and close friend of Teenie Hodges, Al Green's lead guitarist in the 1970s when Green recorded with the famed Hi Records staff band, the Hi Rhythm Section.

Robinson played for several years with Stax stars like Eddie Floyd and once jammed with Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Miles Express' guitarist Jim McCarty and Jimi Hendrix' drummer Mitch Mitchell, a heavily edited recording of which was released as 'Jimi/Jimmy Jam' on the posthumous compilation Jimi Hendrix album Nine to the Universe which features other heavily edited, disparate studio jams with widely varying personnel, recorded over the span of six months during 1969, that producer Alan Douglas (although not involved in the original recordings, but was himself a jazz producer from the early sixties, and also a compiler, and editor of other posthumous compilation releases of some note.) considered exemplified Hendrix' jazz leanings. 
He regularly performed and recorded on albums for a few years with the late rock and funk drummer Buddy Miles, who had previously played with Mike Bloomfield and Jimi Hendrix,  (although not the same one as Robinson and was recorded two months later), prior to developing a solo career.

He worked as a songwriter and performer in 1973 in a group called The New Cactus Band with Duane Hitchings (an original member of Buddy Miles Express, who was also recorded jamming with Hendrix (but quite sporadically, over at least two years), although, (unlike Robinson) he was edited out of the only official release of his jams by Alan Douglas, and this "fame" has to rely on the untampered, bootlegs of the original recordings), the sole member from the final lineup of the Cactus band, which had disbanded in 1972. They released one album on Atco, disbanding shortly thereafter.  His rock and roll band Quo Jr. ("The Son Of What's Happening"), composed of veteran R&B players including The New Cactus Band drummer Jerry Norris, opened one show for the Sex Pistols' notorious first U.S. tour at the Taliesyn Ballroom in Memphis in 1978, performing regularly for several years into the 1980s. Hitchings and Robinson, who also worked together in a group called Steel, later collaborated to write Rod Stewart's 1984 hit song, "Infatuation." Robinson recorded with the Mar-Keys and blues great Willie Cobbs, among others.

Feihyla vittiger is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to West Java, Indonesia, and has been recorded in Mount Halimun Salak National Park and Pangalengan. Common names Indonesian bubble-nest frog and wine-coloured tree bubble-nest frog have been proposed for it.

Habitat and conservation
Feihyla vittiger occurs in vegetation surrounding ponds in mostly secondary montane forest at elevations of  above sea level; it can also be found in ponds near pine and tea plantations. Females lay their eggs on leaves overhanging ponds and attend to them until the eggs hatch into free-living tadpoles.

Feihyla vittiger can be locally common. It is potentially threatened by habitat loss caused by small-scale farming, provided that the vegetation surrounding ponds in the plantations is completely removed. It is present in a number of small protected areas and in the Mount Halimun Salak National Park.

Nidderdale Museum is a local and social history museum in the market town of Pateley Bridge in Nidderdale, one of the Yorkshire Dales, in North Yorkshire, England. The museum is housed in a former workhouse, and is normally open every day from 1.30 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. from 1 April to 31 October, and on Saturdays and Sundays from 1.30 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. over the winter.  There is a small entry charge for adults. Accompanied children are free.

The museum is run by volunteers. The Nidderdale Museum Society has two hundred members, with an elected Committee, and a Board of Trustees.

Exhibits 
The exhibits focus on rural life, with sections devoted to agriculture, local industries, religion, transport and costume, set out across 11 rooms. Displays include re-creations of a Victorian schoolroom, a cobbler's workshop, a lead mining tunnel, a Victorian parlour, general store, a 1930s hairdresser's shop and a kitchen. Other displays include historic costumes, agriculture tools and equipment, local industries and transport vehicles.

The museum also has a reference library of books relating to the local history and life of Nidderdale, and materials for local and family history research.

History of the museum 
The museum was established in 1975 by a group of local enthusiasts.  Some of the group had been members of the local history class which wrote A History of Nidderdale, first published in 1967, and they invited Bernard Jennings, editor of the History, to become one of the first trustees.  Harrogate Borough Council provided premises for the museum in the redundant offices of the Ripon and Pateley Bridge Rural District Council, originally built as a workhouse in 1863.

In 1990 the museum won the National Heritage Museum of the Year Award for "The Museum which does the Most with the Least".  In 2017 the volunteers at Nidderdale Museum were honoured with the Queen's Award.

The Star Flight Starfire is the first aircraft in a large family of American ultralight aircraft that was designed by Dick Turner and produced by Star Flight Manufacturing, introduced in 1979. The aircraft were all supplied as kits for amateur construction.

Design and development
The aircraft was designed before the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules were brought into effect, but all models comply with them anyway, including the category's maximum empty weight of . The Tristar, for instance, has a standard empty weight of . The line of aircraft all feature a cable-braced high-wing, a single-seat, open cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.

The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminium tubing, with the flying surfaces covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its  span wing is cable-braced from a single element kingpost. The landing gear features a steerable nose wheel with a bicycle-style rim brake. The powerplant is mounted underneath the wing and drives a pusher propeller.

The Tristar model took 25 hours to build from the factory-supplied assembly kit.

Variants
