Tabiat Bridge. The Tabi'at Bridge () is the largest pedestrian overpass in Tehran, Iran. The  bridge connects two public parks — Taleghani Park and Abo-Atash Park — by spanning  Modarres Expressway, one of the main highways in northern Tehran. The word tabiat which was imported from Arabic to Persian, means "nature" in Persian, but it has several other meanings in Arabic.

The bridge was designed by Diba Tensile Architecture (Leila Araghian and Alireza Behzadi). It has won several awards, including the Popular Choice Prize for Highways & Bridges from the Architizer A+ Awards, a global architectural competition based in New York. The bridge also won the 2016 Aga Khan Award for Architecture for its exemplary approach to an infrastructure project, "a breath of fresh air" according to the award jury.

History
Tabiat Bridge was designed by Leila Araghian as part of a local competition for the design of a bridge to connect two parks in north Tehran which were separated by a highway. In designing the bridge, a process which took a total of 4 years, Araghian wanted it to "be a place for people to stay and ponder, not simply pass." To achieve this the bridge is not straight and contains benches and seating.

Construction of the bridge started in 2010, using a total of 2000 tonnes of steel and 10000 cubic metres of concrete before it was finished in October 2014. Construction of the bridge over a large highway was described as a big challenge, with platforms and temporary tunnels built to ensure that nothing fell onto the road below.

Architecture
Three tree-shaped columns support two continuous deck levels which makes the lower level covered and suitable for use in all seasons. A third level is located where the truss meets the column branches. The complex steel structure has a dynamic three-dimensional truss[1] and the surface is curved with a varying width. Structural elements of the bridge use a latent geometrical order rotated and repeated in all three dimensions.

Restaurants serve customers at either end of the bridge with seating areas and kiosks between. Some areas of the bridge are open to allow trees to grow and the bridge itself has green spaces to encourage visitors to linger. The bridge offers viewing areas for scenery without itself blocking the view of the Alborz mountains and has a small footprint that blends in with its environment.

Each of the two parks the bridge connects has multiple pathways leading visitors onto the bridge.

Gathering Place 
The bridge not only connects two parks, it is a popular gathering place for the community in its seating areas and restaurants, acting as a place for people to stay not just pass. Some have described walking on the bridge as feeling like walking through a forest and a place of positive energy where they can come to reenergize when feeling low. Four million people visited the bridge the first year it was open.

Rebel Code. Rebel Code: Linux and the Open Source Revolution is a technology book by Glyn Moody published in 2001. It describes the evolution and significance of the free software and open source movements with many interviews with notable hackers.

The british journalist Stephen Poole wrote in 2001 that the open source movement might have the effect of reducing the price people are willing to pay for other products. He also highlighted the inconsistency between the free cost of open source and the price the publishers were asking for the book.

Chris Douce wrote in 2001 that the book is an "important addition to the genre of writing that will undoubtedly become termed 'pop-computing'". He also wrote that the book raised interesting questions regarding the relationship between technology and culture, as lot of early design decisions about the Linux kernel were determined by microprocessors.

Sean Jewett wrote in 2001 that "Rebel Code, despite some flaws, is a must read for those using Linux. It helps put into perspective the decisions that were made early on, and sheds light on the revolution to come."

Calumet Motorsports. Calumet Motorsports was an American aircraft parts manufacturer and former aircraft kit manufacturer based in Lansing, Illinois, and founded by Tommy Milton. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of autogyro parts and at one time produced whole aircraft kits for amateur construction in the US including FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles category.

History
The company was formed in the 1970s as Calumet Aeronautics, nicknamed Cal Aero and acted as a dealer for "Airguide" wind meters. In buying the assets of the SnoBird Aircraft Company the company acquired the rights to the Snobird Charger, single seat gyroplane that offered a ROTAX 503 or 582 ENGINE. SnoBird also offered a 2 place gyroplane that utilized a Honda 4 cylinder aircraft converted engine Snobird Explorer ultralight autogyro designed as an entry level gyroplane. Siting the difficulty ordering parts, destined for use on aircraft. A decision was made to change the company name to Calumet Motorsports. The Calumet designed Explorer Ultralight gyroplane was first flown in May 1997 and produced through the late 1990s and early 2000s when it was noted as a low-cost, entry level aircraft.

The aircraft was commercially successful, but required additional investment to expand production and instead the line was sold. When the SnoBird line came up for sale again later, Calumet Motorsports bought the seat fuel tank business. Later, when parts designer Dick Wunderlich died, the company added the Wunderlich prerotator and rotorbrake to their product line.

Milton was also a Federal Aviation Administration Designated Airworthiness Representative (DAR).

The company was sold on 14 December 2018.

René Marcelin. René Marcelin (12 June 1885 – 24 September 1914) was a French physical chemist, who died in World War I at a young age. He was a pupil of Jean Baptiste Perrin at the Faculty of Sciences in Paris and performed theoretical studies in the field of chemical kinetics.

Work 
René Marcelin developed the first theoretical treatment of the rate of chemical reactions that goes beyond a simple empirical description. He showed that the expression of the rate constant given by the Arrhenius equation had to be composed of two terms. In addition to the activation energy term, he considered that there had to be an activation entropy term. In 1910, Rene Marcelin introduced the concept of standard Gibbs energy of activation. In 1912, he treated the progress of a chemical reaction as a motion of a point in phase space. Using Gibbs' statistical-mechanical methods, he obtained an expression similar to the one which he had obtained earlier from thermodynamic consideration. In 1913, René Marcelin was also the first to use the term potential energy surface.  He theorized that the progress of a chemical reaction could be described as a point in a potential energy surface with coordinates in atomic momenta and distances.

In his PhD thesis, which he defended in 1914, he developed a general theory on absolute reaction rates, in which he used concepts of both thermodynamic and kinetic origin, describing the activation dependent phenomena as the movement of representative points in space. His 1915 publication, published shortly after his death, describes a chemical reaction between N atomic species in a 2N-dimensional phase space, using statistical mechanics to formally obtain the pre-exponential factor before the exponential term containing the Gibbs free energy of activation. The foundations of his theoretical treatment were correct, but René Marcelin was not able to evaluate the remaining integrals in his expressions, as the solution of these equations was not achievable at that time.

René Marcellin also developed the dividing surface approach to study rates of transport in Hamiltonian systems. These results were published after his death by his brother André in 1918.

David Battisti. David Battisti (born 1956) is The Tamaki Endowed Chair of Atmospheric Sciences of the University of Washington and a fellow at the American Geophysical Union. His research interests include understanding how interactions between the ocean, land, atmosphere, and sea ice lead to climatic variability at timescales that vary from seasonal to decadal timescales, as well as the paleoclimate. He is also interested in how climate variability (including El Nino) affects food production.

He received his PhD in 1988 at the University of Washington Department of Atmospheric Sciences. He has published over 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals in atmospheric sciences and oceanography.

He also helps organize an annual set of climate dynamics courses.

Battisti won the Carl-Gustaf Rossby Research Medal from the American Meteorological Society in 2021, for his "contributions to understanding climate variability for phenomena ranging from the El Niño/Southern Oscillation and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation to paleoclimate."

Background 
At starting it was a metre-gauge line. But in 1992 it converted into broad gauge. The present building towards city side was constructed in 1995 during the regime of Kalpnath Rai as a Cabinet Minister in Indian Government. The building is just like copy of .

Development 
In 2015 Railway Budget of India it was decided to improve it as a Terminal Station to avoid rush at . Recently Railway Board has decided to establish a new line between Mau Junction and Dildarnagar via Ghazipur. After establishment of this new line Mau will be directly connected to Howrah–Delhi main line and Howrah–Prayagraj–Mumbai line. Mau is just 93 km away from Varanasi. Mau–Shahganj railway line was started in 1901.

Passenger amenities
There are 3 platforms. After Aunrihar–Bhatni section and Mau–Shahganj section, doubling the number of platforms will be 6. There are two entries at the station one is 'Station Road Side' and other is 'City Side'. Goods rake point also available at Mau Junction but later it will be shifted to Khurhat and rake point will be converted to platforms after development as a Terminal Station.

David Lenigas. David Anthony Lenigas (born 1961, Adelaide, South Australia) is an Australian mining engineer with a Western Australian First Class Mine Managers Certificate. He has extensive corporate experience at Chairman and CEO levels on many of the world's leading stock exchanges. Lenigas was appointed Chairman of NQ Minerals Plc on 19 October 2019.

Lenigas was educated at Brisbane Boys' College and the Kalgoorlie School of Mines, graduating with a Bachelor of Science (Mining Engineering) (Distinction) from Curtin University Kalgoorlie School of Mines, Western Australia.

Career 
Since October 2019 Lenigas holds the position of chairman of NQ Minerals, an Australian-based mining company which commenced base metal and precious metal production in 2018 at its flagship Hellyer Gold Mine in Tasmania. Lenigas orchestrated the agreement for NQ Minerals to buy the Beaconsfield Gold Mine in Tasmania on 21 February 2020. On 1 December 2020, Lenigas worked with ING Bank to sign a US$55 million loan facility for NQ Minerals just two weeks before the company would have been forced into administration. NQ Minerals shortly thereafter went into administration in August 2021.

Corporate governance related criticisms
He has been accused of frequently "promoting a company, pushing up the (price of its) shares, then raising cash by placing new shares — and (thus) diluting the holdings of the early investors", described as "a familiar tale with most companies he promotes". His defence has been that "You can’t build a business on bottle tops.".  Furthermore, he has argued that it's not accurate to claim that "all his ventures have turned sour".  Although finance commentators have noted that most of the "hundreds" of companies he has been involved in, and "stock promoted" for, have failed to generate any successful shareholder returns.

In 2009 he was one of a group of claimants, claiming that he had been libelled when an investment publication in South Africa had described the group of executives of one of Lenigas' ventures as "cynically and greedily indulged in self-enrichment at the expense of, and contrary to the interests of, shareholders." The High Court of Justice of the United Kingdom rejected Lenigas', and the other claimants' libel claim, and found in favour of the publisher.

Leila Araghian. Leila Araghian (; born 1983) is an Iranian architect. She has a master's degree in architecture from the University of British Columbia, where she won the UBC Architecture Alumni Henry Elder Prize. She previously studied architecture in Iran, at Shahid Beheshti University.

In 2005, Araghian co-founded Diba Tensile Architecture, a company specialising in the design, manufacture and installation of membrane structures. She was chief architect and designer of the Tabiat Bridge in Tehran, a pedestrian bridge opened in late 2014 which has won several prizes, including the 2016 Aga Khan Award for Architecture for Architecture, and the Popular Choice award in the Highways & Bridges category of Architizer's 2015 A+ Awards.

Araghian's Iranian heritage has restricted her international exposure; she was not allowed to enter the World Architecture Festival because of sanctions against Iran. The architect herself spoke out against the sanctions because according to her, "this is ridiculous, I’m an Iranian architect and this is a cultural activity, it has absolutely nothing to do with politics."

She was photographed in September 2015 by Brandon Stanton for the Humans of New York trip to Iran.
