Orbital Technologies Commercial Space Station. The Orbital Technologies Commercial Space Station is a proposed orbital space station intended for commercial clients.  The station was initially proposed in 2010 by Orbital Technologies, a Russian aerospace firm (not to be confused with Orbital Sciences Corporation), who is collaborating to develop the station with Rocket and Space Corporation Energia (RSC Energia).

History
As initially proposed in 2010, the station was to consist of a single module of approximately  diameter with a usable volume of about .

, the company was "looking to launch in the next five years or so," ... "in 2015 or 2016."

At that time, several customers were "under contract from the commercial space industry and the scientific community interested in areas such as medical research, protein crystallization, and materials processing, as well as from the geographic imaging and remote-sensing industry. Media projects have also been proposed [as have] tourism."

As of April 2013, Orbital Technologies appointed Stiphan Beher as Chief Operating Officer, taking the firm in a global direction, joining CEO Sergey Kostenko, a former Cosmonaut; and Sergey Chernikov, former Deputy Head of Manned Space Missions for the Russian Space Agency.  Orbital Technologies was co-founded by Eric Anderson, Chairman of Space Adventures.

Financial sponsors
, the station was receiving support from the Russian Federal Space Agency, who was encouraging private participation.  It is hoped the station "will attract private investment for the Russian space industry."
No private financing has yet been announced.

Servicing
The initial 2010 plan indicated that the station would be "serviced by Russian Soyuz and Progress spacecraft and potentially other commercially available vehicles."

Mikroelektronika. MikroElektronika (known by its abbreviation MIKROE) is a Serbian manufacturer and retailer of hardware and software tools for developing embedded systems. The company headquarters is in Belgrade, Serbia.

History
Current company owner and CEO – Nebojša Matić started publishing an electronics magazine called "MikroElektronika" in 1997. In 2001, the magazine was shut down and MikroElektronika repositioned itself as a company focused on producing development boards for microcontrollers and publishing books for developing embedded systems.

The company started offering compilers in 2004, with the release of mikroPascal for PIC and mikroBasic for PIC – compilers for programming 8-bit microcontrollers from Microchip Technology. Between 2004 and 2015 the company released C, Basic and Pascal compilers for seven microcontroller architectures: PIC, PIC32, dsPIC/PIC24, FT90x, AVR, 8051, and ARM® (supporting STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments and Microchip-based ARM® Cortex microcontrollers).

In conjunction with compilers, MikroElektronika kept its focus on producing development boards while gradually ceasing its publishing activities. Its current generation of the "Easy" boards brand was released in 2012. One of the flagship models, EasyPIC Fusion v7 was nominated for best tool at the Embedded World 2013 exhibition in Nurembeg, an important embedded systems industry gathering. Other product lines were introduced as well, including the "mikroProg" line of hardware programmers and debuggers, and the range of sensor and transceiver add-on boards known as click boards.

During this time span the company developed relationships with various semiconductor vendors and distributors. It became an official partner of Microchip Technology, NXP Semiconductors, Texas Instruments, STMicroelectronics, Imagination Technologies, Telit, Quectel, and U-blox. MikroElektronika also built up its worldwide distributor network by partnering with Digi-Key, Mouser Electronics, Future Electronics, RS Components as well as more than 50 local distributors in all continents.

Responding to rising public interest in the Internet of things, in 2016 MikroElektronika released Hexiwear, a wearable development kit created in partnership with NXP Semiconductors. Hexiwear was funded through Kickstarter. Since its release on the market, it won four industry awards: Best in Show, Reader's Choice, and Best IoT product at ARM TechCon 2016 Innovation Challenge, 2016 ECN Impact award, as well as Best for Rapid Prototyping at the Hackster Maker Madness competition.

Product lines

MIKROE's product catalog includes more than 2,500 products. The following table lists its main product lines.

Hitachi SR2201. The Hitachi SR2201 was a distributed memory parallel system that was introduced in March 1996 by Hitachi. Its processor, the 150 MHz HARP-1E based on the PA-RISC 1.1 architecture, solved the cache miss penalty by pseudo vector processing (PVP). In PVP, data was loaded by prefetching to a special register bank, bypassing the cache. Each processor had a peak performance of 300 MFLOPS, giving the SR2201 a peak performance of 600 GFLOPS. Up to 2048 RISC processors could be connected via a high-speed three-dimensional crossbar network, which was able to transfer data at 300 MB/s over each link. 

In February 1996, two 1024-node systems were installed at the University of Tokyo and the University of Tsukuba. The latter was extended to the non-commercial CP-PACS system. An upgrade to a 2048-node system, which reached a peak speed of 614 GFLOPS, was completed at the end of September 1996. The CP-PACS was run by the Center for Computational Physics, formed for that purpose. The 1024 processor system of the SR2201 achieved 220.4 GFLOPS on the LINPACK benchmark, which corresponded to 72% of the peak performance.

Ukraine State Aviation Museum. The Ukraine State Aviation Museum is an aviation museum located next to Zhulyany Airport in Kyiv, Ukraine. Both the premises and the planes are provided by the National Aviation University which continues to use some of the aircraft as educational exhibits.

History 
The museum was established on 7 March 2001 by order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. It opened in 2003 with 30 aircraft.

A heavily vandalized Il-28 was transported to the museum from Buialyk airfield in 2009.

The museum was named for Oleg K. Antonov in February 2018.

A prototype Kapway rubber-tired train was moved to the museum in July 2021. The museum began restoring an Il-28 in October 2021. The day before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the museum had planned to relocate the sole surviving An-14 in Ukraine to its site. However, due to the war, the move was delayed until March 2023. Four months later, the museum received three An-28 fuselages from an airfield in Uzyn to be used as parts sources in its restoration.

The city of Kyiv announced that it would begin financially supporting the museum in December 2024.

Exhibits 
Exhibits at the museum include a display about "space fever" in the 1950s and 60s.

Floods in Thailand. Floods in Thailand are regular natural disasters in Thailand which happen nearly every year during the monsoon season.  The monsoon seasons in the country are distinct by region, the southern part mirrors the Malay Peninsula and monsoon begins in October and ends in March.  The rest of the nation has monsoons and/or frequent thundershowers from April/May through October, but often lasts beyond October.

Thailand cycles yearly between drought and flooding. Breaking this cycle was the subject of the "Sustainable Water Management Forum 2016" in Bangkok. The event hosted water management specialists from countries which have dealt with water management challenges such as the Netherlands, Israel, and Singapore. One attendee observed that, "In Thailand, we receive around 754,000 million m3 of rain per year. That is more than enough for the annual water demand of around 100,000 million m3.... However, only 5.7 percent of rainfall, 70,370 million m3, empties into the reservoirs."

Events
1938 - Bangkok was flooded
1983 - 42 provinces were flooded
1995 - Big floods in Bangkok
 2010 floods in Thailand and north Malaysia
 2011 Southern Thailand floods
 2011 Thailand floods

Karmakar. Karmakar () is a Bengali Hindu caste spread throughout West Bengal, Assam, Tripura and Bangladesh. The Karmakars are traditionally blacksmiths by trade.

History 
The Karmakars used to be blacksmiths by profession. Over time, the Karmakars have produced engineering masterpieces. In 1637, Janardan Karmakar (Blacksmith) of Sylhet built the great gun of Murshidabad, the Jahan Kosha Cannon 'Destroyer of the World', which is 18' in length and weighs around 7 tons. Another grand cannon named Dal Madal Kaman was built by Jagannath Karmakar in 1565 for the kingdom of Mallabhum.In the late 18th century, Panchanan Karmakar pioneered the Bengali printing industry by inventing a movable type punch marked Bengali script.

Henry Brogden. Henry Brogden (30 Sep 1828   –   21 Jun 1913)  was born in Manchester, the third son of John Brogden. He was educated at King's College, London and spent a year at the locomotive works of George Stephenson, Newcastle-on-Tyne. He enjoyed engineering shop work and kept a very complete workshop at home. 
When he was old enough he became a partner in his father’s firm John Brogden and Sons. He played a full part in the direction of their many contracts and business interests. However whereas his elder brother Alexander Brogden seems to have been a very outgoing man, was elected as an MP and led the firm into many ventures, lawsuits and eventually into bankruptcy, Henry comes across as quieter, more studious and perhaps more careful. He is hard to find in literature.

Henry Brogden is said to have been the engineer of the Stockport Viaduct, as well Brogden’s own railways, collieries and ironworks in South Wales.

Brogden was a Fellow of the Geological Society and a Member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.

In the 1860s, Henry bought Hale Lodge, Hale then in Cheshire, from the Rev. Charles Wallace. After the failure of John Brogden and Sons in 1880, Henry Brogden continued to live at Hale Lodge. whereas Alexander was forced to leave his substantial home near Ulverston. Henry died at Hale Lodge in 1913.

At the time Hale Lodge (built 1808, demolished 1950s) was the largest house in Hale.

R-407A. R-407A is a mixture of gasses used as a refrigerant.  It is a zeotropic blend of difluoromethane (HFC-32), pentafluoroethane (HFC-125) and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a). R-407A was developed as a close match to R-22's capacities and flow rates, making it well suited as an energy efficient retrofit for R-22 in medium and low temperature refrigeration systems for supermarket and food storage applications, but not for air conditioning systems or those with flooded evaporators. It must be used with synthetic oils. Its global warming potential is 2107.

Alexis Massol González. Alexis Massol González is a civil engineer and environmentalist from Puerto Rico. He graduated in civil engineering in  University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez in 1965 and was awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2002 for his efforts on the protection of Puerto Rico's mountain forests due to threats from mining interests. In 1980 he and his wife Tinti Deyá Díaz established Casa Pueblo, a non-profit environmental watchdog community-based organization in Adjuntas. One of the organization's achievements was protecting the forest surrounding their town by establishing Bosque del Pueblo in 1996. It was the first community-managed forest in Puerto Rico. A book he authored, Casa Pueblo: A Puerto Rican Model of Self-Governance, published in 2022, "offers a chronological account of Casa Pueblo’s evolution from a small group of concerned citizens to an internationally recognized model for activism."

Wyndham Harding. Wyndham Harding (1817–1855) was an English civil engineer and philanthropist.

Biography
He was Secretary of the London and South-Western Railway Company.

He was awarded the Telford Medal of the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1847, and elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1852, his citation reading " The Author of A Paper "on the Laws of the Resistances experienced in Railway Trains," (printed in the Transactions of the Institution of Civil Engineers and used in the new edition of Tredgold on the Steam-Engine. "On the Statistics of the Railway system of Great Britain" (printed in the Journal of the Statistical Society). Of a Lecture, delivered to the Government School of Design, "on Geometry applied to the arts of design." Distinguished for his acquaintance with mathematical and mechanical science, and with the applications of Mechanical & Statistical results. " 

Apart from being an active supporter of Mechanics’ Institutes, Benefit Societies, and similar institutions, he expended a large portion of his wealth in promoting systematic emigration. As a philanthropist, he earned the well-merited gratitude of hundreds, whom he assisted in procuring a free passage to Australia, or to whom he advanced loans for that purpose, including working with Caroline Chisholm.
 
"The inhabitants of Southampton will long remember the day when Mrs. Chisholm and Mr. Harding met, to witness the departure of the first Australian emigrant-ship which sailed from that port, freighted, under her superintendence, at his expense and risk."

Hawker P.1103. The Hawker P.1103 was a design by Hawker Aircraft to meet the British Operational Requirement F.155; it did not progress further than the drawing board.

Background
Operational Requirement F.155 was an Operational Requirement issued by the British Ministry of Supply in 1955 for an interceptor aircraft to defend the United Kingdom from high flying supersonic bombers.

F.155 specified exacting demands:
The capability of making an intercept within 20 minutes of target contact (250 miles from the UK) with a target speed of Mach 1+
Ceiling: 60,000 ft (18,000 m)
Armament: a mixture of infra-red guided missiles and radar guided missiles
Crew: A crew of two was specified because of the anticipated workload: pilot plus weapon systems operator (WSO)/navigator

The Ministry of Supply made clear in the requirement that the plane and missiles should be treated as a "weapon system" i.e., a cohesive whole. The armament specifications were covered by a separate Operational Requirement, OR.1131, which listed two missile systems: the infra-red guided de Havilland "Blue Vesta" and the radar-guided Vickers "Red Hebe".

The submission by Hawker Siddeley a design by the legendary designer Sir Sydney Camm was effectively a supersonic development of his successful Hawker Hunter design, using a single engine - a 25,000 lb  development of the de Havilland Gyron breathing through an under-chin air intake. Two detachable rocket boosters, to give a 3.7 minute boost, were carried in mid-wing nacelles.

1957 Defence White Paper

Although a nuclear threat from high-flying Soviet supersonic nuclear-armed bombers was identified in 1955, F.155 calling for supersonic interceptors (in service by 1962) was superseded by the 1957 Defence White Paper. The paper was a major review of military spending and one of its elements was the cancellation of nearly all manned fighter projects as a radical change had occurred in strategic threats with the expectation that intercontinental ballistic missiles and low-level strike would replace high flying bombers.
