Widgeon 12. The Widgeon 12 is an American sailing dinghy that was designed by Robert H. Baker and first built in 1964. The design has been raced but is more often employed in the sail training role.

Production
The design was built by O'Day Corp. in the United States. A total of 5,300 boats were completed starting in 1964, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Widgeon 12 is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig with a loose-footed mainsail, a nearly plumb stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung, kick-up rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard. It displaces  and the fiberglass centerboard weighs . It may be equipped with a spinnaker of .

The boat has a draft of  with the centerboard extended and  with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer or car roof rack.

The boat may be fitted with a small outboard motor of up to  for docking and maneuvering.

The design can accommodate four people although it is normally raced with two sailors. For sailing the design is equipped with a sealed mast, plus the boat has foam flotation to enhance self rescue in the event of a capsize. It has a bow eye that can be used to attach a painter line for mooring or trailering the boat.

Factory options available included an outhaul, boom vang and a tiller extension for hiking out. The bow stowage compartment has optional doors.

The design has a Portsmouth Yardstick racing average handicap of 122.6.

Operational history
In a 1994 review Richard Sherwood wrote that the "Widgeon is light and responsive and accelerates quickly. It is raced, but probably the primary use has been as a trainer."

Sail maker Sailrite notes, "the O'Day Widgeon is large enough for parents to sail with their small children yet small enough to be easily singlehanded. The Widgeon can be sailed with the main only or the more standard sloop rig".

Simcenter STAR-CCM+. Simcenter STAR-CCM+ is a commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based simulation software developed by Siemens Digital Industries Software. Simcenter STAR-CCM+ allows the modeling and analysis of a range of engineering problems involving fluid flow, heat transfer, stress, particulate flow, electromagnetics and related phenomena.

Formerly known as STAR-CCM+, the software was first developed by CD-adapco and was acquired by Siemens Digital Industries Software as part of the purchase of CD-adapco in 2016. It is now a part of the Simcenter Portfolio of software tools.

History 
Development work on STAR-CCM+ was started after a decision was taken to design a new, integrated CFD tool to replace the existing product STAR-CD which had been developed during the 1980s and 1990s by Computational Dynamics Ltd, a spin-off company from an Imperial College London CFD research group. STAR-CD was widely used most notably in the automotive industry. STAR-CCM+ aimed to take advantage of more modern programming methods and to provide an expandable framework.

STAR-CCM+ was announced at the 2004 AIAA Aerospace Sciences Conference in Reno, Nevada. A unique feature was a generalized polyhedral cell formulation, allowing the solver to handle any mesh type imported. The first official release included the first commercially available polyhedral mesher, offering faster model convergence compared to an equivalent tetrahedral mesh.

Development 
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ is developed according to a continual improvement process, with a new version released every four months. The program uses a client-server architecture, implemented using object-oriented programming.

Capabilities 
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ is primarily Computational fluid dynamics software which uses the Finite element analysis or Finite volume method
to calculate the transport of physical quantities on a discretized mesh.
For fluid flow the Navier–Stokes equations are solved in each of the cells.
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ has multiphysics capabilities including:

 Fluid flow through porous media
 Multiphase flow
 Discrete element method
 Volume of fluid method
 Non-Newtonian fluid
 Rheology
 Turbulence
 Viscoelasticity

Release history

Usage 
Prior to CD-adapco's acquisition by Siemens, the customer base was approximately 3,200 accounts with 52% of licence sales attributed to the automotive industry.

OpenPOWER Microwatt. Microwatt is an open source soft processor core originally written in VHDL by Anton Blanchard at IBM, announced at the OpenPOWER Summit NA 2019 and published on GitHub in August 2019. It adheres to the Power ISA 3.0 instruction set and can be run on FPGA boards, booting Linux, MicroPython and Zephyr.

Design 
Microwatt is a tiny 64-bit bi-endian scalar integer processor core, implementing a subset of the Power ISA 3.0 instruction set. It has 32× 64-bit general purpose registers and 32x 64-bit floating-point registers. It uses Wishbone for the memory interface.

The initial development was done in a couple of months, included the entire integer processing functionality of the instruction set; the bare minimum to make it compliant, with no memory management unit (MMU) and no floating-point unit.

Later additions to the implementation includes JTAG debugger interface, divider instructions, 16 KB instruction and 32 KB data caches, a non-hypervisor-capable MMU, pipelining and floating-point support.

It's designed using VHDL 2008 and the GHDL simulation environment.

Chiselwatt 
A sibling project called Chiselwatt is another open processor core implementing the Power ISA 3.0 instruction set, written in the Scala-based Chisel instead of VHDL.

Implementations 
 Microwatt itself
 Libre-SOC – A libre system on a chip under development that uses Microwatt as a reference design.
 Kestrel – A soft BMC in Raptor Engineering POWER9 based workstations.

History 
It is the first processor written from scratch using the open Power ISA 3.0, and is released by the OpenPOWER Foundation as a reference design.

The project started as a demo, proof of concept and a reference implementation for the release of the opensource initiative regarding Power ISA 3.0. The goal for Blanchard was to see if he could make it, and as a software developer, taking on a very low level hardware project was a challenge.

Microwatt is set to be fabricated in 130 nm by Efabless "Open MPW Shuttle Program" in 2021. As of February 2024, there has been no update on the progress of fabrication on Efabless's Microwatt project page.

414 Light Street (Baltimore). 414 Light Street is a building located on Light Street in the Inner Harbor district of Baltimore, Maryland that consists of a 44-story glass and steel structure completed in 2018.

History

Demolition of McCormick Factory
Located at the intersection of Light and Conway streets in Downtown Baltimore, 414 Light Street was built on the original site of the McCormick & Company. The 1921 industrial complex was a fond memory of many Baltimoreans  for the spice aromas that wafted down to the streets below. The McCormick building was razed in 1988 after the company had left the city for Hunt Valley. The demolition of the original factory was heartily fought by preservationists, but The Rouse Company, developers of Columbia and Harborplace, won in the Maryland Court of Appeals. The Rouse Company's plans for a replacement structure never came to fruition, leaving the property as a vacant parking lot.

Construction of 414 Light
After 25 years as a parking lot, construction began on 414 Light Street in 2014. Designed by Chicago architecture firm Solomon Cordwell Buenz, the building has a contemporary style. The project is notable for being Baltimore's tallest apartment building, and third tallest skyscraper after the 1929 Bank of America Building. Construction finished at the end of 2018.

Tenants
The building is home to 394 apartments as well as retail on the ground floor. The apartments are considered luxury-style from $1,800, and penthouse rentals at more than $8,000 a month per unit.
