Fred David. Friedrich Wilhelm "Fred" David, an Austrian Jew, who became the most significant aircraft designer for the Australian aircraft industry during World War Two; having been one of only a few people to have worked for both sides (Allies and Axis powers) in designing aircraft used during the war. David's most famous aircraft was the CAC Boomerang used by the Royal Australian Air Force during the Pacific War.

As an Austrian Jew who had recently arrived in Australia in 1939 as a refugee, David was technically an enemy alien, so he had to report to the local Police Station weekly having been interned by Australian immigration officials. David was well-suited to the CAC project, since he had previously worked for Heinkel in pre-Nazi Germany, as well as Mitsubishi and Aichi Kokuki in Japan. His design contributions in Japan resulted in the Mitsubishi A5M Claude fighter and the Aichi D3A Type 99 Val dive-bomber.

Fred David worked on several projects throughout the war but his most technically advanced aircraft never got past the prototype stage, the CAC CA-15 Kangaroo piston fighter. The project was commissioned in early 1943 to overcome the speed and aeronautical limitations of the CAC Boomerang but the prototype did not fly until March 1946. However, despite the aircraft exceeding the maximum speed and climb rate of the Spitfire and Mustang, it was now obsolete with the dawn of the jet age.

After the war, Fred David moved on to working for the Australian government's research arm becoming a specialist in aerodynamics. This role evolved into becoming the team head of the Ikara (missile) project that designed the anti-submarine missile used by the RAN, Royal Navy, Chilean Navy and Brazilian Navy.

1-Octanethiol. 1-Octanethiol, also called 1-mercaptooctane, is an organic compound.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in the United States considers this compound to be an occupational hazard. Exposure to this compound can affect the eyes, skin, respiratory system, blood, and central nervous system, and lead to irritation to the eyes, skin, nose, and throat; lassitude; cyanosis; increased respiration; nausea; drowsiness; headache; and vomiting.

GO64. GO-64! was an early software emulation of the Commodore 64 computer for Amiga computers. GO-64! was created by Christopher P. Zura and Cliff Dugan of Software Insight Systems Inc. It required a minimum of 512KB of RAM to operate, but 1 MB of RAM was recommended. If a 68020 CPU was installed, it could operate at speeds exceeding the speed of a real Commodore 64, according to the developers. This software does not operate on versions later than 1.3 of the Amiga Kickstart, and so does not operate on the Amiga 3000, Amiga 500 plus, Amiga 600, Amiga 4000 or Amiga 1200. Several reviewers noted that it ran substantially slower compared to the actual Commodore 64.

Chateaubriand Bridge. The Chateaubriand Bridge is a concrete deck arch road bridge in Brittany, France, that crosses the Rance river. For geographical conditions and technical traditions, France does not have many arch bridges.

History

Design
The need for a bridge was envisaged by SETRA (Service d'études sur les transports, les routes et leurs aménagements).

Construction
It had a cantilever construction with cable-stays (staying wires). The steel construction was by Compagnie Française d'Entreprises Métalliques, now owned by Eiffage. It was built with high performance Class C60 concrete.

Structure
The bridge carries the European route E401 or Route nationale 176. It is near Plouër-sur-Rance and La Ville-ès-Nonais. The bridge spans the two departments of Ille-et-Vilaine, to the east, and Côtes-d'Armor, to the west.

Werner Gerich. Werner Gerich (; 25 August 1919 – 17 April 2003) also known as Ge Lixi, was a German engineer and technical consultant.

Life 
Gerich was born and died at Mannheim. He worked as a quality control inspector at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology before his retirement. At the age of 65, he joined the Senior Experten Service (SES) based in Bonn. In 1984 he was sent as an expert to the Chinese city of Wuhan, where he first served as a consultant on assembly and quality control at a state-run diesel motor factory, and later as its general director. Gerich was the first foreign factory director in China since the Revolution of 1949. In his two years as director, he renewed the run-down factory through drastic reforms and brought about technical improvements to its diesel engines.

Honors 
For his service as an SES expert, Gerich was made an honorary citizen of the city of Wuhan, and an honorary professor at Wuhan University. He was awarded the German Order of Merit in 1987. The city of Wuhan installed a bronze bust of him in his honor in 2005, making him the fourth German, after Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, and John Rabe to be so honored in China.

In 2008, the Office for Foreign Experts in Beijing placed him on their list of 15 foreigners who had made the greatest impact on China's development since 1978.

M32 (catamaran). The M32 (formerly the Marstsrom 32) is a class of sailing catamaran designed by Göran Marström and Kåre Ljung and first built in 2010 by Marstrom Composite AB. The design and production rights were sold in 2013 to Aston Harald Composite AB led by Håkan Svensson and run by Killian Bushe.

Design

The M32 is a lightweight, all-carbon, high-performance, one-design multihull. Each of the two hulls - constructed of carbon fiber over a Nomex core - weighs  and features increased forward buoyancy to reduce nose-diving. The boat weighs  overall and carries a sail area of  resulting in a very high sail area to weight ratio.

The sail plan includes only a high aspect ratio, fully battened mainsail for upwind sailing combined with a furling gennaker for downwind sailing.
