HMS Falcon (1899). HMS Falcon was a Fairfield three-funnel, 30 knot destroyer ordered by the Royal Navy under the 1898 – 1899 Naval Estimates.  She spent her life in Home waters, was part of the Dover Patrol during World War I and was lost in a collision on 1 April 1918.

Construction and career
She was laid down as yard number 412 on 26 June 1899 at the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company shipyard at Govan, Glasgow and launched on 29 December 1899.  During her builder's trials she made her contracted speed requirement.  She was completed and accepted by the Royal Navy in December 1901.

She spent her operational career only in home waters operating with the Channel Fleet.

Falcon was commissioned at Devonport on 4 January 1902 and was assigned to the Channel Fleet to serve in the instructional flotilla at Portsmouth. Commander Roger Keyes was appointed in command, bringing the crew of the destroyer , which previously served in the flotilla. She paid off at Devonport on 12 May 1902, when her crew transferred to the destroyer , which was the following day commissioned for the instructional flotilla. She was recommissioned on 22 November to take the place of HMS Skate in the Devonport instructional flotilla, and received the crew from that ship.

On 11 April 1907 Falcon and the destroyer  collided in the Channel, badly damaging both ships. Falcon was under repair for almost three months. On 9 July 1907 Falcon towed the destroyer  back to the Nore after Violet was badly damaged in a collision with a sailing vessel.

On 30 August 1912 the Admiralty directed all destroyer classes were to be designated by alphabetic characters starting with the letter 'A'.  Since her design speed was 30-knots and she had three funnels she was assigned to the C class.  After 30 September 1913 she was known as a C-class destroyer and had the letter ‘C’ painted on the hull below the bridge area and on either the fore or aft funnel.

World War I
For the test mobilization in July 1914, she was assigned to the 6th Destroyer Flotilla based at Dover.  While employed with the 6th Flotilla, she conducted counter-mining patrols escorted merchant ships and patrolled in defense of the Dover Barrage.

On 28 October 1914 while on anti-submarine patrol off the Belgian coast at Westende with Syren she came under heavy accurate artillery fire from the shore. She remained on station and returned fire until hit by an  shell which killed 8 personnel including her commanding officer and wounded 15.  She was brought into Dunkirk and repaired. She was awarded the battle honour "Belgian Coast 1914 – 17" for her service.

On 1 April 1918, while on convoy duty in the North Sea and under the command of C.H. Lightoller, she was rammed and sunk by the armed trawler HMS John Fitzgerald

Demolition (1978 film). Demolition is an Australian TV movie.

It was produced by Robert Bruning's Gemini Productions and screened on Channel 7. Director Kevin Dobson recalled it as an attempt by Bruning and Grundys "to make mid-Atlantic films for the US market. It was pretty ill-fated."

Plot
British Intelligence have been conducting sound tests in different countries on techniques to increase the ability of long-distance truck drivers to stay awake - sounds were pumped into their ears to see the results. They discover that one method could completely erase memory.

An intelligence officer, Ainsley, blackmails Peter Clarke, an Australian who used to work for him as an agent, Peter Clarke, into returning to Sydney as a courier.  Clarke is to take an audio tape of recordings that will erase the memory of the listener. Ainsley wants the tape to lure an enemy agent, Korcheck - the plan is to trap Korchek into listening to the tape and have his memory wiped.

An American friend introduces Peter to Faith Camden and they begin an affair.

Production
Filming started in Sydney on 14 November 1977.

Release
Although the film was made in 1977 it did not air in Sydney until 1979.

The Sydney Morning Herald called it "of poor quality... rather than the plot justfying itself, it seems to be an ill-constructed frame that ties together, rather clumsily, less important aspects of the film that don't stand up by themselves."

Filmink magazine later wrote:
[The movie has] a very James Bond set up, but the treatment is surprisingly downbeat and film noir-y – Waters’ character gets beaten up a lot. However, the climax does involve Waters running through a wildlife safari park and stumbling into a lion enclosure, so that’s pretty Bond-y. The script is far too confusing for this to be effective.

Landing craft vehicle personnel. A landing craft vehicle personnel or landing craft, vehicle, personnel (LCVP) is any of a variety of amphibious landing craft designed to transport troops or armoured vehicles from ship to shore during amphibious landings.

United Kingdom

The designation was first used in British service for the LCVP Mk2s introduced with the two Fearless class amphibious transport docks, the role having previously been carried out by the landing craft assault developed during the Second World War. They are manned and operated by 1 Assault Group Royal Marines.

United States

The American version of the LCVP, the Higgins boat, was used extensively in amphibious landings in World War II. The craft was designed  by Andrew Higgins based on boats made for operating in swamps and marshes. More than 20,000 were built, by Higgins Industries and licensees. Typically constructed from plywood, this shallow-draft, barge-like boat could ferry a platoon-sized complement of 36 men to shore at 9 knots (17 km/h).  Men generally entered the boat by climbing down a cargo net hung from the side of their troop transport; they exited by charging down the boat's bow ramp.

Australia

Since 1993, the Royal Australian Navy has operated four Australian-designed and built landing craft, vehicle and personnel (similar in size and concept to the World War II LCVP) from the landing ship, heavy  and replenishment oiler . These aluminum craft were built by Geraldton Boat Builders and can carry up to 36 personnel or a Land Rover with a half-ton trailer. They are maintained for the RAN by the firm DMS Maritime. As of 2007, T 4 was held in reserve at the naval base , T 5 and T 6 were carried by Tobruk, and T 7 was embarked on Success. The craft remained in service as of 2015.

Others
Other countries with naval resources may also have LCVPs. For example, the Italian ship San Giusto is recorded as having a complement of these. The Royal Canadian Navy's supply ship MS Asterix is equipped with 2 LCVP.

Solution F/Chretien Helicopter. The Solution F/Chretien Helicopter is a coaxial electric helicopter prototype designed and built by Pascal Chretien for the Solution F company in France. The aircraft is intended to be a demonstration and exploration of several key electrical power technologies for use in future hybrid helicopters. The helicopter is the first all electric helicopter to hover out of ground effect 
and set a Guinness World Record on August 12, 2011. It received an IDTechEx Electric Vehicles Land Sea & Air award in 2012. The prototype is on permanent display at the Musée de l'air et de l'espace in Paris le Bourget, France

Design and development

This prototyping platform was created to explore and demonstrate technologies leading to all electric, or hybrid mechanical-electric, helicopter drivetrains. Two key goals are the elimination of expensive, safety critical, non-redundant, mechanical only helicopter transmissions; and the provisioning of battery assisted, emergency landing capabilities as an alternative to forced autorotation straight to the ground. Both technologies are expected to greatly improve the safety and practicality of helicopter flight.

The prototype Solution F/Chretien Helicopter is a coaxial rotor "hang" helicopter . Pitch and roll are controlled by weight shift. The entire rotor is tilted in relation to the suspended airframe to shift the center of gravity, thus no cyclic control is required. These features were generally implemented on the demonstrator for simplicity and expedience and were incidental to the research and demonstration goals. Yaw is controlled by differential torque applied to the two rotors. The two rotors are each driven by a separate 20 KW electric motor. Power is supplied by twenty one, 106 AH Li-ion Polymer cells with a power density of 160 WH/Kg. The unique cooling solution developed for the pack allows 500 Amps to be delivered for 10 minutes, while keeping the battery pack's frame and cooling system down to less than 5% of the pack cell weight.

Krøll Cranes A/S. Krøll Cranes A/S is a Danish company located in Copenhagen and specializing in crane manufacturing, particularly tower cranes. The company has existed since the mid-1950s.

Brief overview
The company started out as a licensed manufacturer of the Linden Comansa America (LCA) tower cranes. With time, the company started to produce cranes of its own design which were very competitive with the LCA cranes. By mid 1970s Krøll became very popular in North America and Northern Europe. By 1980 the company joined the Vølund Concern. By mid 1980s its crane market expanded into the Soviet Union and Krøll's crane were widely used in building of nuclear power plants in the USSR as well as in the United States. The Chernobyl disaster brought downturn in the Krøll's cranes demand.

Today the company is part of the Muhibbah Engineering Group.

Labo Del Rio Bridge. The Labo Del Rio Bridge, over the Piedra River near Arboles, Colorado, was designed and built in 1913 by the Missouri Valley Bridge Company with steel by the Illinois Steel Company.  It is a Pratt through truss bridge.  It has also been known as Bridge over Piedra River.  The bridge cost the state $3,395.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

It was deemed significant as the oldest surviving roadway truss bridge over the Piedra River, as one of few surviving in the state built by the Missouri Valley Bridge Company, and as the oldest known through truss made for the State Highway Commission.  It is a six-truss bridge with an interesting,  transitional type of pin-/rivet- connection.

It first carried State Primary Road 15 in a crossing near Pagosa Springs;  it was moved later to cross the Piedra River at its current location, on the Southern Ute Indian Reservation in the southern part of Archuleta County.

Multi-stage programming. Multi-stage programming (MSP) is a variety of metaprogramming in which compilation is divided into a series of intermediate phases, allowing typesafe run-time code generation.
Statically defined types are used to verify that dynamically constructed types are valid and do not violate the type system.

In MSP languages, expressions are qualified by notation that specifies the phase at which they are to be evaluated. By allowing the specialization of a program at run-time, MSP can optimize the performance of programs: it can be considered as a form of partial evaluation that performs computations at compile-time as a trade-off to increase the speed of run-time processing.

Multi-stage programming languages support constructs similar to the Lisp construct of quotation and eval, except that scoping rules are taken into account.
