Green Peter Dam. Green Peter Dam is a concrete gravity dam impounding the Middle Santiam River in Linn County in the U.S. state of Oregon.  It was completed in 1967 to generate hydroelectricity, prevent flood damage, provide irrigation, and improve water quality downstream. It has been leaking for many years but is considered to be safe by authorities. Water released by the dam is regulated by the Foster Dam  down the river.

Green Peter Reservoir, created by the dam, is a popular area for fishing, boating, and other water sports.

The dam is featured in the 2013 film Night Moves.

Edwin Cole (RAF officer). Squadron Leader Edwin Stuart Travis Cole  (26 December 1895 – 1984) was a British World War I flying ace credited with eight aerial victories. He returned to military service in 1939 for the Second World War.

Early life

Edwin Stuart Travis Cole was born in Bristol, England on 26 December 1895, to Ruben and Jessie Cole. He became a mechanical engineer.

World War I service

Cole was awarded Aviator's Certificate No. 2160 on Caudron biplanes at the Ruffy-Baumann School at Hendon. He was commissioned as a probationary second lieutenant in the Royal Flying Corps on 29 April 1916, was appointed a flying officer on 21 July, and was confirmed in his rank in August. On 15 September 1916, having been assigned to No. 60 Squadron RFC to fly a Nieuport fighter, he scored his first victory.

Reassigned to No. 1 Squadron RFC, he once again flew a Nieuport. He triumphed twice in March 1917, and four times during Bloody April, including two observation balloons. On 1 May 1917, he and fellow ace Frank Sharpe captured a German Albatros D.III fighter at Roulers-Elverdinghe, receiving promotion to lieutenant the same day. Following this, Cole was withdrawn from action.

On 6 July 1918 he was promoted to the temporary rank of captain.

World War II service

His record lapses until 1939, when he agreed to let a garage in Downend be used for a first aid post and air raid shelter. On 21 March 1939, he was commissioned as a pilot officer on probation in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve. On 31 August 1939, he was confirmed as a pilot officer and promoted to flying officer.

Apparently unfit for flight duty, on 27 May 1940 he was transferred to General Duties. On 27 May 1941, he was promoted to flight lieutenant. On 1 July 1944, he was once again promoted, this time to temporary squadron leader.

Post World War II
On 10 February 1954, Cole relinquished his reserve commission, with permission to retain the rank of squadron leader.

Edwin Stuart Travis Cole died in 1984 in Wiltshire, England.

Honours and awards
Military Cross
 2nd Lt. Edwin Stewart Travis Cole, Royal Flying Corps (Special Reserve)
 For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On one occasion he, in a scout, attacked and brought down an enemy two-seater biplane. He has brought down two hostile balloons. He has at all times set a splendid example of courage and initiative.

Nasr-1. The Nasr-1 () is an Iranian anti-ship cruise missile.  According to its export catalog, it can destroy 1,500-tonne targets such as small frigates. Nasr-1 missile can be launched from both inland bases and offshore military vessels, and is being modified to be fired from helicopters and submarines.

The missile has a cigarette shaped body with four large foldable fins attached to the middle part and four smaller ones attached to the end of the missile near the exhaust.

In December 2008, an Iranian naval force successfully test-fired the surface-to-surface Nasr-1 during the final stage of "Unity 87" wargames in the Persian Gulf waters. Following the successful test firing, on 7 March 2010, Iran's defence minister announced mass-production of Nasr-1 missiles.

In early 2012, during Velayet-e 90 wargames, it was tested from land-based TELs. On 10 February 2013, head of Iran Aviation Industries Organization announced that an air-launched version of Qader and Nasr-1 anti-ship cruise missiles will be tested in a week. It also has a submarine launched version called Jask-2.

The Nasr-1 may purportedly be a copy of the Chinese C-704 short range missile.

Harry H. Pennes. Harry H. Pennes (May 29, 1918 – November 14, 1963, New York City) was an American physician and clinical researcher who studied the neurological effects of drugs and the pharmacological treatment of various psychoses. He also introduced a mathematical model of the rate of heat production by human tissue as it relates to local blood flow. Pennes' equation, also called Pennes' bioheat equation, has been the foundation of hundreds of papers on bioheat transfer and the 1948 paper in which it was introduced, "Analysis of tissue and arterial blood temperatures in the resting human forearm", has become one of the most influential articles that have appeared in the Journal of Applied Physiology.

Pennes killed himself at the age of 45 in his home on 317 West End Avenue.

Wind-induced surface heat exchange. The wind-induced surface heat exchange (WISHE) is a positive feedback mechanism between the ocean and atmosphere in which a stronger ocean-to-atmosphere heat flux results in a stronger atmospheric circulation, which results in a strong heat flux. It has been hypothesized that this is the mechanism by which low pressure areas in the tropics develop into tropical cyclones.

The WISHE mechanism was proposed by Kerry Emanuel in a Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences article published in 1986though it was first termed "air–sea interaction instability"as an alternative to the more prevalent conditional instability of a second kind (CISK) hypothesis.

Simulated Electronic Launch Peacekeeper. Simulated Electronic Launch Peacekeeper (SELP) was a method used by the United States Air Force to verify the reliability of the LGM-118A Peacekeeper intercontinental ballistic missile.

SELM replaced key components at the Launch Control Center to allow a physical "keyturn" by missile combat crew members. This test allowed end-to-end verification of the ICBM launch process.

SELP was phased out with the deactivation of the Peacekeeper ICBM in 2005 following Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty II (START II).

Logistics Support
The ICBM System Program Office at Hill AFB, Utah provided technical support to SELP tests The information obtained from tests provided a complete assessment of the weapon systems for Air Force Space Command (AFSPC).

Zinc Application Framework. The Zinc Application Framework is an application framework, intended for the development of cross-platform software applications with graphical user interface (GUI), using a widget toolkit. Zinc targets both embedded (such as Wind River's VxWorks) and desktop platforms.

History
In 1990 Zinc Software released its first software development package Zinc Interface Library as a tool for Borland Turbo C++. This package allowed creation of text and graphics based user interface, initially only for DOS applications and since the 2.0 release also for Windows programs.

In 1994 Zinc Software introduced version 4.0 of its C++ tool under Zinc Application Framework name. Zinc aimed at cross-platform development of the user interface supporting DOS, Windows, Mac and Unix.

With the release of the version 5 in 1997, Zinc Software changed pricing policy and distributed "Personal Version" of the Zinc Application Framework free of charge for non-commercial use  - including source code and limited only by lack of technical support and distribution rights.

Zinc Software was acquired in 1998 by Wind River and continued to operate as a subsidiary.

In 2004 Zinc Software was sold to Professional Software Associates (PSA).

Capillary action through synthetic mesh. Capillary action through synthetic mesh is the result of the intermolecular attraction between moisture and semi-synthetic polymers, causing a current of thermionic energy through a specific pathway within a mesh material. The combination of the adhesive forces and the surface tension that arises from cohesion  produces the characteristic upward curve in a fluid, such as water. Capillarity is the result of cohesion of water molecules and adhesion of those molecules to the solid material forming the void. As the edges of the material are brought closer together, such as in a very narrow path, the interaction causes the liquid to be drawn away from the original source. The more narrow the pathway, the greater the rise of the liquid. Greater surface tension and increased ratio of adhesion to cohesion also result in greater rise. Synthetic materials using conductive polymer as found in polypyrrole to reduce liquid density to a manageable state.

The force with which water is held by capillary action varies with the quantity of water being held. As part of a demonstration conducted by Bright Idea and Webb development: Water entering a natural void, such as a pore within a synthetic mesh material, forms a film on the surface of the material surrounding the pore. The adhesion of the water molecules nearest the solid material is greatest. As water is added to the pore, the thickness of the film increases, the capillary force is reduced in magnitude, and water molecules on the outer portion of the film may begin to flow away from its source. As more water enters the pore the capillary force is reduced to zero when the pore is saturated, unless a hydrophilic body is introduced. The movement of moisture through the mesh is controlled by this capillary action.
