Roman Glazman. Roman Evsey Glazman (June 26, 1948 – April 24, 2006) was a Russian American physicist and oceanographer.

Early life and education
Roman E. Glazman was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, on June 26, 1948, in a secular Jewish family.  He became a citizen of the United States on October 28, 1985, and completed his PhD in Ocean Engineering at the University of Rhode Island in 1985.

Career
Glazman's scientific research was the study of ocean and atmosphere. He began working at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Cañada Flintridge and Pasadena, California.

Glazman published more than 40 works in oceanography in scientific journals and completed over 60 research studies presenting at International Scientific Conferences, including OCEANS Conference, Geoscience and Remote Sensing International Symposium (IGARSS), Wormley Conference, American Geophysical Union Conference (AGU),  International Association for Physical Sciences of the Ocean, International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics.

Glazman conducted exploratory expeditions in the Bering Sea and the North Pacific Ocean off the coast of Kamchatka and Japan, the Arctic, as well as the Barents Sea off the coast of Finland.  He took measurements of the depths and salinity of oceans, of the wind forces, pressures and surface temperatures, by experimentation equipped with vessel technology available in the 1970s.

The topics in which Glazman made contributions include wave dynamics, capillary- and inertia-gravity waves, nonlinear waves and turbulence, Rossby waves, sea level measurements, sea surface geometry, magnetic field at sea surface, wind generated wave dynamics, adsorbed film and oscillations.

Elaine M. McGraw. Elaine M. McGraw (née Boehme) was an American computer programmer who, together with Arthur Samuel and Gene Amdahl, invented open addressing based hash tables in 1954.

After studying economics, McGraw began working as a computer programmer for The Prudential Life Insurance Company in the early 1950s, using a UNIVAC computer. Prudential sent her to IBM to learn how to program the IBM 701, but (believing that Prudential would not purchase this computer) she applied for a job at IBM, and was hired there in 1953 by Gene Amdahl. She continued to work at IBM until at least 1970.

In 1954, McGraw was working with Amdahl and Arthur Samuel on an assembler (a program for converting a textual description of a sequence of computer instructions into machine code) and she was tasked with implementing a symbol table for it. Together, Amdahl, McGraw, and Samuel solved this problem by inventing the methods of open addressing and linear probing, still frequently used in modern hash table data structures. This was not the first use of hash tables – hash tables with chaining had already been described in a 1953 memo by Hans Peter Luhn – but was nevertheless an influential early contribution to the theory of data structures.

Yongge Wang. Yongge Wang (born 1967) is a computer science professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte specialized in algorithmic complexity and cryptography. He is the inventor of IEEE P1363 cryptographic standards SRP5 and WANG-KE and has contributed to the mathematical theory of algorithmic randomness. He co-authored a paper demonstrating that a recursively enumerable real number is an algorithmically random sequence if and only if it is a Chaitin's constant for some encoding of programs. He also showed the separation of Schnorr randomness from recursive randomness. He also invented a distance based statistical testing technique to improve NIST SP800-22 testing in randomness tests. In cryptographic research, he is known for the invention of the quantum resistant random linear code based encryption scheme RLCE.

Roewe 360. The Roewe 360 is a compact sedan by Roewe's sub-brand, SAIC.

Overview
The Roewe 360 was introduced in 2015 as the successor of the Roewe 350 compact sedan. Since SAIC can use GM engines and transmissions under a deal agreed in 2014, the Roewe 360 shares the same engine and transmission as the Chevrolet Cruze, which is also sold by SAIC in China.

Roewe 360 Plus
The Roewe 360 received a minor facelift in 2017. Its front bumpers, headlamps, and grilles were redesigned in line with the updated Roewe product line, creating a front fascia similar to those of the Roewe RX3, Roewe RX5, Roewe i6 and the facelifted Roewe 950.

According to the official website, the model was named the 360 Plus, and was priced slightly higher than the regular 360.

Equipment Development Department of the Central Military Commission. The Equipment Development Department of the Central Military Commission  () is a major unit of deputy theater grade under the Central Military Commission of the People's Republic of China. It was founded on January 11, 2016, under Xi Jinping's military reforms. The department mission is to coordinate, oversee, and foster the development and acquisition of military technology. General Zhang Youxia served as the first director. The current director is Xu Xueqiang. It also registers the patents related to military technology. The China Manned Space Agency is also hosted there and the department plays a critical role in the Chinese space program.

Procurement  

The Equipment Development Department has responsibility for the procurement of a very wide range of military equipment: from 10 mm Beanbag rounds for riot control to mobile laser communication systems, up to Su-35 fighter aircraft and S-400 Anti-aircraft missiles. 

The latter systems were acquired from Russia in the late 2010's, after which the United States Department of State imposed sanctions on the Equipment Development Department and its head Li Shangfu (then a lieutenant general) in September 2018 under the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act.

The establishment of the Department for Weapons Development as part of the 2015 reforms did bring a significant change in the procurement process. Tenders became then open to the public through a website operated by the department, the “All-PLA Arms and Equipment Purchase Information Network” (全军武器装备采购信息). Formally, not only state-owned companies, but also private companies can submit bids. This opening to market competition has the dual goal of improving quality and reducing prices on the one hand, and on the other, to further the goal of "military-civilian integration" (军民融合). This entails that as much dual-use technology as possible should be developed, such as carbon fiber materials, information security in cloud computing, hybrid drives and renewable energies.

In order to facilitate this integration, efforts are being made to unify the standards for software and information sharing in the military and civilian sectors. A reduction on the extreme opaqueness of the old procurement process was also started. As a first practical step, the Office for Intellectual Property in National Defense lifted the secrecy of 2,346 patents relevant to defense technology in March 2017 and published them on the procurement portal of the Weapons Development Department. In April 2018, the office published 4,038 additional patents covering the areas of material science and engineering, measurement technology, radar reconnaissance, satellite navigation and communication technology.

Melton (cloth). Melton cloth, woven in a twill form and traditionally made of wool, is a very solid cloth whose finishing processes completely conceal the twill weave pattern. It is thick, because of having been well fulled, which gives it a felt-like smooth surface, and is napped and very closely sheared. Melton is similar to Mackinaw cloth. Because of its dense, quasi-felted texture it frays minimally or not at all. It is hard-wearing and wind- and weather-resistant. Its main use is for heavy outer garments and coats and for blankets. In lighter weights melton cloth is traditionally used for lining the underside of jacket collars.

It was developed in the Leicestershire town of Melton Mowbray, from which it derives its name. This town is the traditional centre of English fox-hunting, and black and scarlet hunting coats are traditionally made from melton cloth, for its weatherproof qualities. In England not only is melton used for the scarlet hunting coat, an iconic symbol of the upper-class elite, but it is also used in black for the donkey jacket, an iconic symbol of the working class labouring man. Both uses rely on its weatherproof qualities.

Melton cloth is also used as the covering for real (as against lawn) tennis balls.

Queen Victoria commissioned curtains made of Melton  cloth  for Windsor Castle, the  curtains being made by the Leeds textile manufacturing firm William Lupton and Co.

Admiralty cloth 
It was a cloth used for British naval officers. It was a term for standard melton used for officer's uniform such as coats, and jackets etc.

Valfréjus avalanche. On 18 January 2016, six French Foreign Legionnaires were killed in an avalanche in the Massif des Cerces, France.

Background 
The combination of heavy winter snowfall and strong winds in the Alps led to unstable snow formations in the high peaks. The avalanche warning was raised to 3 out of 5 (Considerable) beforehand.

An avalanche bulletin for the mountain sector warned that a single skier could trigger a surface slide that could then take several layers in the snow pack down to 2 meters deep.

Avalanche 
On 18 January, a division of 51 Legionnaires, assigned to the 2nd Foreign Engineer Regiment (2nd REG) took part in an off-piste ski mountain exercise, to receive their Skier Certificate (BSM). 

The (2nd REG) provides combat engineering services to the French Army's 27th Mountain Infantry Brigade, who were also present during the military exercise. The course took place 60 kilometres (35 miles) south of Albertville and near the Valfréjus ski resort, in the Massif des Cerces. 

The company was at a height of 2,600m (8,500 ft) when the avalanche struck at 13:50, while 5-6 of the skiers neared Col de Le Petit Argentier. A large slab of ice, about 100 meters wide, broke off a ridge causing a mass avalanche. Several branches of snow about 400 meters wide, engulfed 13 of the skiers in a steep sector of the valley. In all, 18 of the skiers downstream were either buried or shaken. The rest of the company remained at the foot of the slope, near the Pas du Roc peak.

Rescue teams arrived within minutes. The 13 skiers were recovered and found buried under a meter of snow by rescuers with the help of search dogs and avalanche victim detection kits (DVA)'s they were equipped with.

Aftermath
French military and state prosecutors are investigating the case and assessing whether the unit took unnecessary risks. According to French media, the unit was due to be sent on a military operation. Around one-third of the company was projected to be deployed to the Sahel in the coming months in coordination with Operation Barkhane.

French president François Hollande expressed "the nation’s solidarity" over the deaths and wished the injured a speedy recovery. He asked Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian to head to the scene of the accident.

Fatalities
The nationalities of the 6 Legionnaires killed, a mix of veterans and new recruits, was released the following day. A Malagasy (dual French citizenship), Italian, Nepalese, Moldovan, Albanian, and Hungarian, aged between 21 and 33 were killed.
