Mega Sg. The Mega Sg is a home video game console manufactured by Analogue, released in 2019. It runs games developed for the Sega Genesis, Master System, Game Gear and SG-1000, systems released by Sega in the 1980s and early 1990s during the fourth generation of consoles. Rather than emulate games, the Mega Sg uses FPGA chips that replicate the original system hardware.

Features 
The Mega Sg features 1080p HDMI, digital audio (48 kHz 16-bit), and original Genesis-style controller ports. Kevin Horton engineered Mega Sg to use an Altera Cyclone V to match the Genesis hardware logic with very high accuracy and also provided extra features, such as the option to scale the original 240p video output to different resolutions up to 1080p 60 Hz. Phil Fish, the designer of Fez, designed the user interface, and Arca composed the startup audio. It includes an unreleased Genesis game from 1994, Hardcore, renamed Ultracore due to licensing problems.

Limited edition

Record label Hyperdub collaborated with Analogue on a limited edition Mega Sg with a Sega Genesis music cartridge called Konsolation featuring unreleased music from artists such as Burial, Scratcha DVA, and Ikonika. Konsolation was created in an edition of 1,000 units as part of Hyperdub's 15th anniversary celebration.

Track listing

Reception
The Guardian gave the Mega Sg four out of five, writing: "Playing Streets of Rage 2 or Comix Zone on this thing is like experiencing a remastered recording of a favourite album, or a digitally restored version of a classic movie ... the Mega Sg makes Sonic and all the other games I have tried feel fresh and contemporary."

The Mega Sg was named the Time best inventions of 2019 award, an Editor's Choice Award from Wired, an Editor's Choice Award from Tom's Guide, an Editor's Choice Award from IGN and an Editor's Choice Award from PCMag.

Engadget gave the console an 86/100, with one of the only complaints being a lack of 32X compatibility.

Moses Sclare. Moses Sclare (29 July 1867 – 8 September 1949) was a Ukrainian trade union leader, active in the United Kingdom.

Born to a Jewish family in Kropyvnytskyi in Ukraine, Sclare completed an apprenticeship as an engineer.  While there, he met a group of engineers from Scotland who were working on a Russian government contract, and they persuaded him to emigrate to Glasgow.  Sclare arrived in 1889, and soon found work as a marine engineer.  He joined the Amalgamated Society of Engineers, and soon served as secretary and then president of his branch.

Due to his socialist views and trade union activity, in 1906 Sclare was asked to become secretary of the Leeds Jewish Tailors', Machinists' and Pressers' Union.  The previous secretary, Sam Freedman, had been sacked for stealing union funds, and the union was short of money.  Within his first year, Sclare almost doubled membership to 900.

Sclare was elected to the executive of Leeds Trades Council, and as the union expanded, it offered many new facilities to members, including a Labour Hall, kosher food, burial, and prayer facilities.  In both 1907 and 1908, he led strikes against piecework, both proving partially successful.  A further strike in 1911 led to arbitration which improved the pay and conditions of the union's members, and membership had reached 4,500 by 1915.  However, Sclare's ambition to open branches of the union in other cities proved unsuccessful.  Instead, in 1915 he took it into a merger which formed the United Garment Workers' Trade Union (UTGWU).

Sclare was a member of Poale Zion, and his motions in support of political and civil rights for Jewish people were passed by the Trades Union Congress in 1915 and 1916.  He chaired the Leeds branch of the Workers' League for Jewish Emancipation.

Sclare became the financial secretary of the UTGWU, and remained a leading figure after it merged into the National Union of Tailors and Garment Workers.

ITS-IVB. The ITS-IVB was a 1930s Polish two seat research sailplane designed to gather meteorological and airframe stress data. The sole example remained in service up to outbreak of World War II.

Design and development

The ITS-IV was a high performance, two seat research sailplane designed initially by Adam Nowotny to gather meteorological and airframe stress data. It was also intended to provide blind flying training. Franciszek Kotowski took over the design work after Nowotny's death in July 1934, producing the ITS-IVB.

It was an all-wood aircraft. The two part wing had a rectangular plan central section and gently tapering trapezoidal outer panels with blunted tips. Each part was built around a single plywood D-box spar which formed the leading edge. On each side an internal auxiliary drag strut ran diagonally from the spar at about mid-span to the rear of the wing root and the whole area between spar and strut was ply-covered, forming another box. Elsewhere, the wings were fabric-covered, as were the differential ailerons which filled the trailing edges of the outer panels. The wing bracing was unusual, with the normal rigid struts replaced by upper and lower steel ribbons on each side. Each upper ribbon ran from a central cabane, formed from three steel tubes, to a reinforced region of the spar. The lower ribbons ran from the spars to the lower fuselage. They offered less air resistance and also provided a way to measure wing loads in flight.

The fuselage was a ply-covered semi-monocoque structure with an oval cross-section. It was unusually wide and deep in the central section, tapering away strongly aft of the wings. This variation allowed an uncramped, enclosed pilot's cockpit ahead of the wing and a very generous cabin for the observer, with celluloid-paned underwing windows on each side and accessed via a port side door.  The cabin also had a table which could be folded away to allow use of the dual flight controls under blind flying conditions. A sprung landing skid was mounted below.

The empennage was conventional, with a cantilever, tapered tailplane and elevators mounted on top of the fuselage and a fin carrying a full, rounded, deep, rudder hinged behind the elevators. The fixed surfaces were ply-covered and the control surfaces fabric-covered.

Operational history

The ITS-VB's first flight was on 30 July 1935, piloted by its designer and towed by a RWD 8 from Lwów-Skniłów. This revealed aileron flutter and required aileron redesign, after which the glider was stable and handled well. It participated in the Third National Glider Contest held at Ustjanowa Górna in the autumn of 1935 and continued research flying until the start of World War II, based at Bezmiechowa Górna and mostly flown by Piotr Mynarski.

SSM-N-6 Rigel. The SSM-N-6 Rigel was a proposed United States Navy submarine-launched, nuclear-capable ramjet-powered cruise missile.

Etymology
The Rigel missile was named after Rigel, the brightest star in the constellation Orion.

Development
In 1946 the US Navy sanctioned development of the Rigel missile as a sub-launched supersonic weapon to attack enemy shores, in parallel with development of the subsonic SSM-N-8 Regulus. The SSM-N-6 was to be launched by means of 4 rocket boosters and a catapult, with two ramjets for the cruise mode of the flight.

Several Rigel test articles were built to test the planned ramjet system for the Rigel missile. They had a single ramjet and a single rocket booster. Subsequently, scaled-down Flight Test Vehicles (FTVs) were built with a configuration similar to the full-scale missile, and the first FTV launch occurred in May 1950. Unfortunately, plans to build the SSM-N-6 missiles were cancelled because the failure of FTV flight tests, but also due to the fact that Rigel posed a problem for submariners by requiring a longer launch rail on submarines than the SSM-N-8 Regulus.

Noriko H. Arai. Noriko H. Arai (, born 1962) is a Japanese researcher in mathematical logic and artificial intelligence, known for her work on a project to develop robots that can pass the entrance examinations for the University of Tokyo. She is a professor in the information and society research division of the National Institute of Informatics.

Education and career
Arai was born in Tokyo. She earned a law degree from Hitotsubashi University and then, in 1985, a mathematics degree magna cum laude from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. Her doctorate is from the Tokyo Institute of Technology.

She joined the National Institute of Informatics in 2001.

Contributions

Arai's Todai Robot Project aims to build a robot that can pass the entrance examinations for the University of Tokyo (commonly known as Todai) by 2021.
Arai became director of the project in 2011.
At a 2017 TED Talk, she reported that her system could achieve a score better than 80% of the applicants to the university; however, this was still not a passing score.
Arai sees the success of the project as evidence that human education should concentrate more on problem solving and creativity, and less on rote learning.

Arai is also the founder of Researchmap, "the largest social network for researchers in Japan". She was one of 15 top artificial intelligence researchers invited by French president Emmanuel Macron to join him in March 2018 for the announcement of a major new French initiative for artificial intelligence research.
