Armitage Manufacturing Company. Armitage Manufacturing Company, also known as Fibre Board Container Company, is a historic factory building located in Richmond, Virginia.  The original section was built in 1900, and is a two-story, brick building; a third story was added in 1924. Around 1928, a three-story extension was constructed at the rear of the front wing. In 1954, a large barrel-roofed, metal bowstring truss wing was added. It was constructed for the production of building supplies and roofing paper, and then used for corrugated container manufacturing. The building is used as a warehouse.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.

OverOps. OverOps is a software analytics company based in San Francisco, CA and Tel Aviv, Israel. The company develops a static and dynamic code analysis technology to analyze code events in real time. The technology's focus is large-scale Java and Scala code bases.

History 
OverOps was founded as Takipi in December 2011. Prior to Takipi, Tal Weiss (CTO) and Iris Shoor (VP Product) co-founded VisualTao (acquired by Autodesk Inc in 2009). In 2012 Takipi received seed investment of $700K by private investors. In 2013 Takipi received $4.5 million in venture capital from Menlo Ventures. 

On April 20, 2016, it was announced that Takipi raised $15 million in a funding round led by Lightspeed Ventures.

Takipi was renamed OverOps on August 25, 2016 to reflect a greater emphasis on services that support DevOps.

On April 26, 2017, it was announced that OverOps raised $30 million in series C round led by Lightspeed Ventures, with participation from Menlo Ventures.

In 2018, the company announced the hiring of Rod Squires as CEO and move of founder Tal Weiss into the role of Chief Technology Officer.

Products 
OverOps uses a Java agent to perform code analysis and track code changes in real time. Using graph analysis, OverOps maps an application's codebase and the different connections between variables, methods and classes. When a runtime exception, log error or a performance issue are reported, the code maps are used to record data of variable values, methods, threads and JVMs which led to the errors.  OverOps is delivered in a software as a service (SaaS) model, where the majority of the analysis is performed in the "cloud".  The software can also be deployed in a hybrid model (where collector and agent are on-prem with analytics in the cloud) or fully on-prem for all components.

It is noted for its high service ceiling of  and  range.

The aircraft is made from sheet aluminum. Its  span wing mounts flaps and has a wing area of . The wing is a complex shape with a swept wing root, transitioning to a forward swept leading edge, with a straight tapered trailing edge, resulting in a highly tapered wing planform. The outer wing section can be folded for ground transport or storage. There are optional additional span wing tip extensions to increase glide performance. The cabin width is  and fuel tanks are located in the wing leading edge. The acceptable power range is  and the standard engines used are the  Lycoming O-235 and the  Lycoming O-360 powerplant.

The L-6B has a typical empty weight of  and a gross weight of , giving a useful load of . With full fuel of  the payload for the pilot, passengers and baggage is .

The manufacturer estimated the construction time from the supplied kit as 4000 hours.

Operational history
By 1998 the company reported that five kits had been sold and two aircraft were completed and flying.

IIL IS-7. The IIL IS-7 was a two-seat, sailplane designed by Iosif Șilimon and built in Romania in the late 1950s. Only one prototype was built.

Design and development
From about 1950 to his death in February 1981, Iosif Șilimon was Romania's most prominent glider designer, his aircraft distinguished by his initials.  The IS-7, a two-seat high wing cantilever monoplane, first flew on 7 May 1959.  Its wings had an all wood structure and were mounted with 3.5° of dihedral. They were straight tapered in plan, with a slightly forward swept leading edge and a quarter chord forward sweep of 6°, built around a single spar with a forward, plywood skinned torsion box between it and the leading edge; behind the spar the wing was fabric covered. The tips carried the small streamlined bodies known as salmons, common at the time.  Its slotted ailerons, which filled about half the span and were divided into two pairs, were ply skinned but with an outer fabric covering.  Spoilers, situated immediately inboard of the ailerons at about 40% chord, opened both above and below the wing.

The IS-7 had an ovoid cross-section plywood monocoque fuselage.  Its tandem two seat cockpit stretched from the extreme nose to behind the wing leading edge, enclosed by a long, two part perspex canopy following the lines of the fuselage. The longer forward part opened to the side and the short aft section to the rear.  Behind the wing the fuselage tapered to the tail.  The horizontal tail was straight tapered in plan with squared tips, raised a little above the fuselage on a fin fillet and constructed in the same way as the ailerons.  There were gaps at both ends of the elevators, between the fin at the root and between a rearwards tailplane extension at the tip.  The elevators carried trim tabs.  The ply-skinned fin and fabric, unbalanced rudder were straight edged, the latter reaching down to the keel.

The IS-7 had a short, rubber sprung skid under the cockpit and a fixed, unsprung monowheel under the wing, fitted with a brake.  There was also a small tail skid.

The IS-7 was classed as semi-aerobatic.  Development of it ceased when it was decided that the IIL IS-8, another Silimon designed two seater but with a smaller span, would be operationally simpler and more economical to run.

Strategic material. Strategic material is any sort of raw material that is important to an individual's or organization's strategic plan and supply chain management. Lack of supply of strategic materials may leave an organization or government vulnerable to disruption of the manufacturing of products which require those materials.  It can also refer to a group or department that manages these materials.

In government terms, they are materials, usually raw materials that have a particular strategic significance to a government or nation, often in time of war. Their strategic need is because of their crucial importance for either economic or military purposes. Some materials are relatively simple, but are required in great quantities during wartime. Others are obscure and technically complex. Although not required in large quantities, their irreplaceability and critical need makes them especially valuable. Foodstuffs are not generally classed as strategic materials: although vital, they are treated separately.

Techniques for replacing strategic materials with ersatz substitutes have become highly important. These also include the minimisation of or the recovery and recycling of such materials.

As well as depending upon strategic materials, warfare may be carried out with their specific goal in sight. Japanese expansion in World War II targeted rubber crops and their plantation areas in particular. Conflict between Germany and France has repeatedly focussed upon the iron and steel bulk resources of their border region.

The term "critical material" is increasingly used rather than "strategic material".

In the United States
The US Defense Logistic Agency manages strategic materials for the US military.

The United States critical materials list is a designation of materials or minerals considered essential for the economic or national security of the United States, where there is a high risk of supply chain disruption

In business
Strategic materials encompass a subset of raw materials required to make a product. The strategic materials may be limited in number or subject to shortages. In this case, the strategic plan would call for an alternative supply chain or alternative materials in the event of a breakdown in the current supply chain.

Secqueville-Hoyau. SA des Anciens Établissements Secqueville-Hoyau  was a French automobile producer between 1919 and 1924.   The factory was established in what was then a small town, a short distance to the north-west of Paris, called Gennevilliers.

The business
Alfred Secqueville and Gaston Hoyau established their business at Gennevilliers in 1911 as a producer of aircraft engines and propellers.   The outbreak of war in 1914 drove an accelerated demand for aircraft, and during the war the manufacturer produced Bugatti designed aero-engines under licence, leading to speculation that their subsequent designs may have been influenced by engineers from Bugatti’s Molsheim plant.

With the outbreak of peace the company switched in 1919 to automobile production, quickly abandoning the production of aero-engines in order to concentrate on the new business.   The cars were branded as Secqueville-Hoyaus.   Although there was only a single model, the tight tolerances and close adherence to prescribed processes that had been needed to produce aircraft engines enabled the company to produce a high quality modern car with a flexible engine, a four speed transmission and ventilated drum brakes.

Production ended in 1923, however, and the last car was sold in 1924.  By this time approximately 500 cars had been produced.

The cars
Secqueville-Hoyau attended the 15th  Paris Motor Show in October 1924.      They took Stand No. 58 where they exhibited their 10HP car, its radiator fashionably reminiscent of that to be found on the front of a Rolls-Royce.      The 4-cylinder side-valve engine was of 1,243cc.   An unusual feature was the electric starter.  Three different wheelbase lengths were offered, and although sources vary as to the precise length offered, they fall between  and .

The manufacturer’s prices at the 1919 motor show were between 11,800 francs and 12,500 francs, according to length, for cars in bare chassis form.   A conventional range of bodies, including a three or four ”Torpedo” bodied car and a three or four-seater “conduite interieure” (closed sedan/saloon/berline) was offered.   The top price listed at the show was 21,400 francs for the long “conduite interieure” bodied car.

Ukrainian-Mediterranean Airlines Flight 4230. Ukrainian-Mediterranean Airlines Flight 4230 was a chartered international passenger flight, a Yakovlev Yak-42D operated by Ukrainian UM Airlines, which crashed in 2003.

Flying from Manas International Airport, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan to Zaragoza Airport, Spain, the Yak-42D tried to land at Trabzon Airport in Turkey to refuel on May 26, 2003, but, because of dense fog, it slammed into a mountain near Maçka, Trabzon. All 13 crew and 62 passengers were killed.  It remains the third-worst crash in Turkish aviation history.

Accident
The Ukrainian-Mediterranean Airlines Yakovlev Yak-42 was a chartered aircraft being used to transport Spanish troops after a four-month peacekeeping tour of Afghanistan. The final destination was Zaragoza Airport, but the aircraft attempted to stopover at Trabzon Airport in Turkey in order to refuel. The aircraft crashed into the side of a mountain near the town of Maçka,  from Trabzon, on its third attempt to land in dense fog. The pilot had stated that he could not see the runway; visibility was less than .  

All crew and passengers were killed in the impact. The troops on board comprised 41 members of the army and 21 members of the air force. The aircraft was also carrying ammunition; explosions after the crash distributed the wreckage over a large area.

Passengers and crew

Context
The aircraft had been chartered from the Ukrainian Ukrainian-Mediterranean Airlines by the Spanish defence ministry to return some of the 120 Spanish troops working as International Security Assistance Force peacekeepers in Afghanistan.  It was the third crash of a Ukrainian-operated aircraft within six months; an Ilyushin Il-76 had crashed on 9 May, killing around 14 people, and the previous December saw an Antonov An-140 crash in Iran with 44 fatalities.

Aftermath
Spanish defence minister Federico Trillo stated, "the meteorological conditions and dense fog caused the drama." NATO Secretary-General George Robertson stated, "This is an appalling tragedy, given that these soldiers were serving the interest of peace in a difficult mission in Afghanistan." In 2004, the Spanish government sacked three generals after it was discovered that 22 of the victims' bodies had been misidentified and returned to the wrong families.

IIL IS-8. The IIL IS-8 was a two-seat sailplane designed by Iosif Șilimon and built in Romania in 1960. They served with Romanian gliding clubs.

Design and development
From about 1950 to his death in February 1981, Iosif Silimon was Romania's most prominent glider designer, his aircraft distinguished by his initials.  The IS-8, a two-seat shoulder wing cantilever monoplane, first flew on 14 September 1960.

Its wings had an all wood structure and were mounted with 2.5° of dihedral. They were significantly forward swept, by 7° at quarter chord, with a constant chord inner section and strongly tapered outer panels with unswept leading edges.  The wings were built around a single spar with a forward, plywood skinned torsion box between it and the leading edge; behind the spar the wing was fabric covered. The tips carried the small streamlined bodies known as salmons, common at the time.  The outer panels carried wooden slotted ailerons which were ply skinned but with an outer fabric covering.

The IS-8 had an ovoid cross-section metal and plywood monocoque fuselage.  Its tandem two seat cockpit stretched from just behind the nose to behind the wing leading edge, enclosed by a long, smoothly contoured, three part perspex canopy. Its centre section opened to the side and the aft section to the rear. Unusually, the IS-8 had airbrakes not on the wings but on the fuselage sides under the wing, though Silimon had used this arrangement before on the pod and boom IIL IS-5 and would use it again on the IS-9  motor glider.  These were rectangular, each with an area of .   Between the wings the fuselage depth decreased rapidly, so that aft of the trailing edge it was quite slender. The horizontal tail, mounted on top of the fuselage, was straight tapered in plan with squared tips and constructed in the same way as the ailerons. There were gaps at both ends of the elevators, between the fin at the root and between a rearwards tailplane extension at the tip.  The starboard elevator carried a trim tab. The ply-skinned fin, positioned at the elevator hinge line, was narrow and mounted a fabric covered and largely straight edged unbalanced rudder which reached down to the keel.

The main landing gear was a fixed, unsprung monowheel under mid-wing, at the point where the lower fuselage curved upwards toward its more slender rear. There was also a very short rubber sprung skid under the cockpit and a tail bumper.

The IS-8 was preferred over the earlier two seat Silimon IIL IS-7 glider as a production aircraft destined for Romanian clubs because of its comparative operational economy and maintenance simplicity.  Some sources state that the IS-8 was not cleared for aerobatics, others that it served Rumanian clubs as an aerobatic aircraft as well as a trainer and solo aircraft.

Canopy conductance. Canopy conductance, commonly denoted , is a dimensionless quantity characterizing radiation distribution in tree canopy. By definition, it is calculated as a ratio of daily water use to daily mean vapor pressure deficit (VPD). Canopy conductance can be also experimentally obtained by measuring sap flow and environmental variables. Stomatal conductance may be used as a reference value to validate the data, by summing the total stomatal conductance  of all leaf classes within the canopy.
