MS Abkhazia. MS Abkhazia was one of six Soviet s during the late 1920s built for the Black Sea State Shipping Company. During the Second World War, she participated in the Siege of Odessa in 1941 and the Siege of Sevastopol in 1942. She was sunk by German aircraft in the port in June.

Description 
The four ships built in Leningrad were shorter than the pair built in Germany, but had more powerful engines. Abkhazia had an overall length of , with a beam of  and a draught of . She had two decks and a depth of hold of . The ship was assessed at , , and . She had a pair of six-cylinder, two-stroke diesel engines, each driving a screw propeller, and the engines were rated at a total of 1,372 nominal horsepower. Sources differ about her maximum speed, quoting speeds of  or . The ship had a designed capacity of 450 passengers.

Construction and career 
Abkhazia was one of the four ships in the class that were constructed in 1928 at the Baltic Works shipyard in Leningrad. After completion the ship was assigned to the Black Sea State Shipping Company by Sovtorgflot with its port of registry at Odessa.

After the invasion of the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941 (Operation Barbarossa) by Nazi Germany and its allies, Abkhazia was used for military tasks. On 16–21 September, she served as a troopship ferrying part of the 157th Rifle Division from Novorossiysk to Odessa. A day after commencing the voyage, the convoy of which she was a part was fruitlessly attacked by German aircraft. The division was evacuated from Odessa to Sevastopol in several convoys between 3 and 6 October with the ship ferrying her portion of the division on 5 October. Abkhazia arrived in Odessa on 14 October to begin loading the city's defenders and reached Sevastopol on the 16th without damage despite repeated German air attacks.

The liner transported elements of the 386th Rifle Division from Novorossiyk to Sevastopol on 1–5 January 1942 and made another trip at the beginning of March. Abkhazia arrived in the besieged port with supplies on 2 April, followed by another trip on 10 April. Together with the destroyer , the ship delivered 1,958 men, 209 tons of fuel and 348 tons of supplies on 21 May. At the beginning of June, Abkhazia was part of a convoy that brought 2,785 troops to reinforce the garrison and evacuated 487 wounded men and 722 civilians on the return voyage. On the night of 9/10 June, Abkhazia was part of a convoy bound for Sevastopol that was unsuccessfully attacked by Heinkel He 111 torpedo bombers from the Second Group of Bomber Wing 26 (). The following morning the ship was set on fire by bombs delivered by the First Group of Bomber Wing 100 (). An attack 10 minutes later by Junkers Ju 87 dive bombers caused the liner to roll over against the adjacent pier. She remained on fire until her cargo of ammunition finally exploded around 22:00.

Paul E. Queneau. Paul Etienne Queneau (March 20, 1911 – March 31, 2012) was an American professor of chemical and metallurgical engineering at Dartmouth College. He was a member of the National Academy of Engineering.

Biography 
Queneau was born in Philadelphia on March 20, 1911, to Augustin Leon Jean and Abbie Jean (Blaisdell) Queneau, a descendant of Ralfe Bleasdale, who settled in Pemaquid Point in Maine in 1635. His father was a French-born metallurgist who served as technical assistant to the president of the United States Steel Corporation.

Queneau earned his B.A. from Columbia College in 1931, his BSc and E.E. from Columbia School of Engineering and Applied Science in 1932 and 1933, respectively. After   Columbia, he began working for the International Nickel Company (INCO). He volunteered in the United States Army during World War II and was trained at the United States Army Engineer School before being dispatched to Europe with the United States Army Corps of Engineers. He was awarded a Bronze Star Medal, an Army Commendation Medal, and a European Theatre of Operation Ribbon with five campaign stars. 

Queneau returned to INCO after the war, and he focused on improving the environmental record of smelters with oxygen, developing a pioneering commercial oxygen reactor in 1952. He retired in 1969 as INCO’s vice president, chief technical officer, and assistant to the chairman. He then earned his doctorate from Delft University of Technology at age 60 and joined the faculty of the Thayer School of Engineering in 1971.

In 1971, Queneau and Reinhardt Schuhmann Jr. proposed the Q-S oxygen process that enables smelting in a single process within a continuous oxygen converter. They later partnered with the German engineering firm Lurgi and co-invented what came to be known as the Queneau-Schuhmann-Lurgi process for efficient lead extraction.

Queneau was elected a fellow and served as a president of The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society in 1969. A geologist, he also helped photograph the Perry River region of the Arctic by a 13-foot canoe with artist and ornithologist Peter Scott and zoologist Harold Hanson. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1981.

Queneau died on March 31, 2012, at age 101 in Hanover, New Hampshire.

Alaska Highway Veterans. The Alaska Highway Veterans is a group of roughly 4,000 segregated African American soldiers in the United States Army Corps of Engineers who helped build the Alaska Highway in 1942. The highway's successful construction is seen by many as an important factor in the 1948 decision to desegregate the military.

History 

The directive to construct the Alaska Highway was authorized by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in February 1942. At the time, the majority of the Army's engineers were assigned elsewhere as part of the World War II effort. Although many in the military during that period viewed African American engineers as less skilled, the lack of resources prompted the employment of regiments of African American engineers on the project. A total of 11,000 troops worked on the highway's construction, segregated into three African American regiments and four white regiments.

The project concluded on October 25, 1942, with an African American soldier and a white soldier shaking hands as the final link of the highway was completed. In 2017, Governor Bill Walker of Alaska signed Senate Bill 46 into law commemorating the contribution of the Alaska Highway Veterans. Upon the bill's signing, Walker stated, "It’s not my words. It’s the federal government’s words that this highway really was the road to civil rights."

Ronald Stein (energy consultant). Ronald (Ron) Stein (born April 29, 1941) is an author, columnist, Engineer and energy policy advisor for Heartland Institute. He is co-author of Energy Made Easy – Helping Citizens become Energy Literate (2019),  Just GREEN Electricity – Helping Citizens Understand a World without Fossil Fuels (2020), and  the 2021 Pulitzer Prize nominated book Clean Energy Exploitations - Helping citizens understand the environmental and humanity abuses that support “clean” energy.

Ronald advocates that energy literacy starts with conversations and the knowledge that renewable energy is only intermittent electricity generated from unreliable breezes and sunshine. He argues that wind turbines and solar panels cannot manufacture anything for humanity, while fossil fuels manufacture everything for the 8 billion on this planet. 

He is the founder of Principal Technical Services (PTS).

Early life and education
Stein was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He attended Santa Monica College. Stein received a BS in electrical engineering from California State University, Northridge.

Personal life
Stein is married and has two children, Russell Stein, and David Stein.

Career
Stein started his career as a project manager at Fluor in July 1964. Later he worked as a project manager in Jaws Attraction, Florida, at Universal Studios in 1987.

He established PTS Staffing in April 1995. Since 2010, he has written different Op-eds about the energy sector and conservation. Stein started Energy Literacy, an initiative for educating the public about energy topics. He is a policy advisor on energy literacy at Heartland Institute and The Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT).

Stein has been named as the private business spokesperson for the energy industry. He has started an initiative for Energy Literacy, where he shares books, podcasts, and articles to educate people about the energy sector. Stein is an energy agnostic, and supplies in-depth discussions and explanations about energy-related subjects for the public to become energy literate about the many sides of renewable electricity, and the products manufactured from fossil fuels, that support lifestyles and economies around the world. Renewables and fossil fuels are different. Fossil fuels are primarily used to manufacture products and fuels for humanity, while renewables only generate electricity but manufacture nothing for humanity.  

In 2020, PTS was renamed as PTS Advance, and Stein became its Ambassador for Energy & Infrastructure. Stein is also a columnist and co-author of three books. His work has been featured in the Eurasia Review, the Heartland Institute, the Cornwall Alliance, and New Geography.

AN/SPN-35. The AN/SPN-35  is a computerized automatic landing system installed on the Tarawa-class amphibious assault ship and other LHA/LHD-class warships to give control for aircraft during the final approach and landing.

The Joint precision approach and landing system (JPALS) is slated to replace the AN/SPN-35 on U.S. Navy amphibious assault ships.

Description
The AN/SPN-35 is used to offer guidance to the aircraft pilot on final approach. It provides relative azimuth, range, and elevation information to the radar operator, who relays this as verbal guidance to the aircraft pilot on approach.

The AN/SPN-35A variant has two antennas: the azimuth antenna (AS-1292/TPN-8) and the elevation antenna (AS-1669/SPN-35). The azimuth antenna is located above the azimuth drive assembly on the stabilized yoke. The elevation antenna is mounted on the elevation drive assembly adjacent to the azimuth antenna.

History 
The AN/SPN-35 was developed from the ground-based AN/TPN-8 landing approach control radar. It was first evaluated on the  in 1962, as an AN/TPN-8 mounted to an AN/SPN-6 stable pedestal and secured to an AN/SPN-8 platform. A prototype was evaluated aboard the  about a year later as a replacement for the AN/SPN-8 on ASW carriers and small attack carriers. As of 1965, the AN/SPN-35 was being used "primarily on the ASW type carriers."

The -35A variant was used onboard s prior to 1996, when it was replaced by the AN/SPN-46A/B. It remains in use on the  and  today.

Cubix - Robots for Everyone: Race 'N Robots. Cubix: Robots for Everyone: Race 'n Robots is a 2001 racing game developed by Blitz Games and published by The 3DO Company, based on the Cubix: Robots for Everyone television series.

Gameplay 

 

Race 'n Robots is a racing game in which the players race robots against competitors on a series of tracks that feature power-ups and obstacles. Similarly to the show of the same name, the story of Race 'n Robots sees the player race the robot Cubix and his friends against the antagonist Dr. K and his robot Kolossal, who are bent on taking over the world.

Minor differences in gameplay exist between versions of Race 'n Robots. The PlayStation version of the game contains a Story Mode that guides players through a series of increasingly difficult tracks, in which players can unlock new tracks and use points earned from winning a race to purchase upgrades for their robot. The game also contains a Versus Mode for instant play for one to four players. The Game Boy Color version of the game contains similar features at a smaller scale, with a password feature to save games after completing a level and unlockable secret tracks.

Development

In 2001, The 3DO Company entered into an agreement with 4Kids Entertainment to license video games for all platforms based on the show Cubix: Robots for Everyone. Race 'n Robots was announced by The 3DO Company in August 2001 for a Christmas season release, and shipped to retail stores in North America on November 6 2001. Intended for release in the United Kingdom in early 2002, Race 'n Robots in the United Kingdom was delayed indefinitely, in part following negative reception upon preview from reviewers including PlayStation Official Magazine UK in April 2002.

Reception

Race 'n Robots received mixed to negative reviews. Reviewing the PlayStation version, Mike Jenkins of PlayStation Official Magazine UK warned players to not buy the game, dismissing it as "the worst racer ever to mar (the) PlayStation", singling out the "useless viewing perspective" due to "not being able to see the road ahead" when leading a race, "dire controls", "pointless upgrades" and "gameplay without a hint of fun". In a more forgiving review for the Game Boy Color, Simon Brew of Game Boy Xtreme praised the game's courses as "well designed and challenging", although criticized not "having enough time to react to what's just around the corner" due to the small screen size of the Game Boy Color, stating that "each of the varied tracks ultimately becomes more of a memory test than a driving challenge".
