Flywrench. Flywrench is an action video game developed and published by Messhof. The game puts the player in the role of 6802, a spacecraft floating through the Solar System in search of a mysterious access point. As 6802 passes the different planets (including Pluto) towards the Sun, the player is tasked to maneuver 6802 through a variety of levels, in which they, by pressing or holding one of two certain buttons, must change 6802's color adaptively to barriers blocking the way to the finish and at the same time control 6802's movement behavior.

Development 
The game was created by Mark Essen under the pseudonym Messhof. After three previous incarnations since, of which one, also titled Flywrench, was released in 2007, Essen launched a Kickstarter campaign to expand upon his 2007-released game, seeking  from September 20, 2009. The campaign concluded on November 1, 2009, with a total of  funded by 29 backers. Essen acquired his master's degree at the University of California in 2010, and continued to publish free games under the Messhof banner, partially in collaboration with Adult Swim Games, and, together with Kristy Norindr, incorporated Messhof LLC in 2013, leading up to the release of Nidhogg (2014), but did not communicate about the development or fate of Flywrench, up until releasing a new teaser to accompany his Independent Games Festival entry on October 22, 2014, and then until a full trailer on July 29, 2015.

Release
Flywrench was released for Microsoft Windows and OS X through Steam on August 24, 2015, and a port for PlayStation 4 was released through PlayStation Network on February 14, 2017. The game received "generally favorable" reviews. Flywrench soundtrack, comprising original tracks by Mark Redito, Baths, Kuh Lida, Danny Scrilla, Om Unit, Knife City, Dntel, Reso, Syndakit, Daedelus, Sweatson Klank, and Goodnight Cody, was released by Magical Properties on November 13, 2015. 6802, under the name "Flywrench", also became a playable character in Super Meat Boy (2010).

Soft-faced hammer. A soft-faced hammer or mallet is a hammer designed to offer driving force without damaging surfaces. 
They also reduce the force transmitted back to the arm or hand of the user, by temporarily deforming more than a metal hammer would.

Materials 
Soft-faced or deadblow mallets have faces made of materials such as plastics, including nylon, natural rubber or tightly wound rawhide, or soft metals such as copper, aluminium, brass or lead.
The goal of the choice of material is to prevent damage to the struck surface.

The heads or individual faces are sometimes replaceable, because they will deform, wear out, or break over time.

The hammers are graded by the weight of the head and by hardness of the striking face.

Heads cast in solid brass are used in applications where less vibration is needed.

Laurence Clancy. Laurence Joseph Clancy (15 March 1929 - 16 October 2014) was an Education Officer in aerodynamics at Royal Air Force College Cranwell where his textbook Aerodynamics became standard.

He was born in Egypt to Alfred Joseph Clancy and Agnes Hunter. In 1951 he gained a Bachelor of Science (Hons) degree from the University of Liverpool.

Clancy studied aerodynamics at the College of Aeronautics at RAF Cranfield, where his teachers were Terence Nonweiler, later of Glasgow University, and Geoffrey Lilley, later of Southampton University. Clancy qualified as an Education Officer with the RAF and began teaching at Royal Air Force College Cranwell.

After 16 years with the Royal Air Force, Clancy had a long career at the University of Bradford where he served as Dean of Engineering. He was a colleague of John Brian Helliwell.

He married Barbara Consterdine in 1952, they separated in 1969. He has 4 children from this marriage, Peter, Helen, Caroline & Jillian. In 1972 he married Eileen Tyne,(Nee Smith), they separated in 1986. He was married to Jane Bingham. from 1992 until his death.

Aerodynamics
Clancy assembled a manuscript from his lectures. In 1975 Pitman published it as the textbook Aerodynamics. It was re-issued in 1978 by John Wiley & Sons, and in 1986 by Longman. A book review in Journal of Fluid Mechanics described the book as follows:
The scope of the book is wide and includes the mechanics of flight and aircraft performance in addition to the usual topics of basic fluid mechanics, aerofoil and wing theory, boundary layer theory, gas dynamics and experimental techniques.

In his preface, Clancy portrayed aerodynamics as both an exact and experimental science:
The true aerodynamicist … must combine [mathematics and experiment], using analysis to deepen and extend his knowledge, but continually experimenting in order to check the validity of his assumptions and to improve his understanding of the physical problem. (page xviii)

Reviewer M.W. for Flight International wrote, "The author has a lucid style and puts across a traditionally difficult subject in such a way that the less prepared reader is able to follow the arguments of even the knottiest topics."

Gabon Express Flight 221. Gabon Express Flight 221 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on 8 June 2004. The Hawker Siddeley HS 748 was carrying 26 passengers and 4 crew and was flying from Gabon's capital Libreville to Franceville via Port-Gentil when an engine failed. The crew tried to return to Libreville International Airport; however they overflew it and nosedived into the sea. At least 19 people were killed in the crash. It was the second deadliest plane crash in Gabon. Gabon President Omar Bongo declared three days of national mourning in response to the disaster.

Flight
Flight 221 was a regular domestic passenger service operated by a Gabonese airline, Gabon Express. At the time the airline was the second largest airline in Gabon, with over 60 destinations. The flight was carrying 26 passengers and 4 crew. Among the passengers were 7 French nationals, 2 Lebanese and a German. Shortly after takeoff from Libreville the crew reported problems with the aircraft. A failure of the oil pressure on the No.2 engine occurred, causing the crew to turn back.

While returning the crew tried to extend the aircraft's landing gear, however it did not do so, due to problems with the hydraulics. Witnesses on the ground stated that the aircraft was operating with only one engine. Flight 221 then nose-dived into the sea.

The tail and the front part of the aircraft separated from the main body. As the aircraft was not fully submerged, several survivors managed to escape from the sinking wreckage. 4 hours after the initial impact, the wreckage sank and fully submerged, with many people still trapped inside the wreckage.

Search and rescue
Immediately after the crash, fire crew and emergency services were deployed. 11 survivors were evacuated from the scene and were taken by helicopters to local hospital in Libreville; none had received serious injuries. Divers were deployed by authorities to rescue people trapped inside the wreckage. Local fishermen, French Navy and French military also joined the rescue effort.

Aftermath
As the crash of Flight 221 claimed 19 lives, the President of Gabon, Omar Bongo, declared three days of national mourning in honor to the victims of the crash. A government official stated that a national funeral will be held in response to the crash.

TEAM Linhas Aéreas Flight 6865. TEAM Linhas Aéreas Flight 6865 (TIM6865) was a short-haul domestic passenger service between Macaé and Rio de Janeiro that flew into a mountain on 31 March 2006. The aircraft, a Let L-410 Turbolet, was conducting a VFR approach to Macaé Airport with 17 passengers and 2 crew on board when it hit the top of Pico da Pedra Bonita in Brazil. Everyone on board was killed in the crash. Brazilian investigative team CENIPA concluded that the VFR approach was inadequate, stating that the visibility at the time was not good enough for a VFR approach.

Flight
TEAM Linhas Aéreas Flight 6865 was operated by TEAM Linhas Aéreas, a domestic airline based in Rio de Janeiro. It was a daily scheduled domestic flight from Macaé in the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro to the city of the same name. The Let L-410 bore the Brazilian registration of PT-FSE and was carrying 19 people, consisting of 2 crew and 17 passengers.

The flight took off from Macaé at 17:19 local time. At the time, it was operating under instrument flight rules (IFR) with an estimated time of arrival at 18:02. After taking off from Macaé, the crew stated their intention to cancel their IFR flight plan and added that they wanted to continue the flight under visual flight rules (VFR). This cancellation was approved by an air traffic controller.

As bad weather approached, the crew descended to 2,000 ft. The crew had banked the aircraft to the left when it struck tree tops and slammed into the top of Pico da Pedra Bonita, near the municipality of Rio Bonito. The impact killed everyone on board.

Investigation
Brazilian investigation team CENIPA was involved in the investigation and conducted a 12-month-long investigation into the crash. The final report was released on 19 March 2007, concluding that the crash was categorized as Controlled Flight Into Terrain and was caused by pilot error. The condition of the weather in the area at the time was bad, and it was impossible to make a VFR flight, according to CENIPA. However, the crew of Flight 6865 intentionally changed from IFR to VFR while the visibility was limited. Before the flight, the crew didn't know the weather ahead of them. CENIPA also blamed the crew's poor decision-making, stating that there was inadequate assessment which caused them to fly at a lower altitude than a safe limit.

ARA Cabo de Hornos. ARA Cabo de Hornos (B-5) was a cargo ship in service with the Argentine Navy since 1979, capable of transporting bulk cargo, live cattle, and containers. She was the second ship in the Argentine Navy to bear the name of the Cape Horn (Chile) located to the south of Tierra del Fuego.

Design 
Cabo de Hornos (B-5) was one of three  cargo ships ordered by the Argentine Navy in 1975, designed and built by the Argentine Príncipe, Menghi y Penco shipyard, at Buenos Aires, Argentina. The design is optimised for Patagonic coastal service.

Cabo de Hornos has a steel hull and the superstructure at the stern, with a single mast and a single funnel atop, behind the bridge; the cargo area is located in the middle of the ship and three “Liebherr” cranes serve the three holds, one each. She has a bulk cargo capacity of  or 6,300 tons (e.g.: coal, cereals, live cattle), and can carry up to 140 containers.

Cabo de Hornos is powered by two 6-cylinder Sulzer 6 ZL 40/48 marine diesel engines of  each, driving two variable-pitch propellers; with a maximum speed of .

History 

With the ships then operating with “Naval Transport Service” ( Servicio de Transportes Navales) approaching obsolescence, the Argentine Navy was authorized (via decree 3/10/1975) to order the local construction of three cargo ships for the southern coastal service. The ships, with hull optimised for Patagonic coastal service, were designed and built by the Argentine Príncipe, Menghi y Penco shipyard, at Buenos Aires, Argentina, in the late 1970s and are denominated the Costa Sur class.

Cabo de Hornos, the third ship in her class, was launched on 4 November 1978 as Bahía Camarones, being renamed later. She was commissioned on 28 June 1979 and assigned to the Argentine Navy's Naval Transport Service with the pennant number B-5.

In addition to coastal and riverine activities in Argentina, Cabo de Hornos also operated overseas. In 1981–82 she transported from France to Argentina the then new Super Étendard aircraft incorporated by the Argentine Naval Aviation. 
In 1989, Cabo de Hornos helped remove oil from the shipwreck of the polar transport , in an effort to reduce pollution in the Antarctic waters. 
In 1992 she transported to the Gulf of Fonseca, Honduras, the four Baradero-class patrol boats used under United Nations mandate ONUCA. Also in 1992, she transported troops, vehicles, and supplies of the Argentine Army to Yugoslavia, as part of the UNPROFOR peace mission.

In mid-2012 her hull underwent maintenance.

As of late 2016, Cabo de Hornos remained in service with the Argentine Navy.

In 2022, it was announced that, if there were to be any buyers, the decommissioned Cabo de Hornos would be auctioned off.

Haim Bodek. Haim Bodek (born ) is an American developer of trading software. He worked for Hull Trading Company which was acquired by Goldman Sachs in 1999. He became the global head of Electronic Volatility Trading at UBS by 2006, and later established his own company, Trading Machines, in 2007.

When his software started losing money in 2009, he tracked the cause to an undocumented order type which was being used by other algorithmic trading companies to gain an advantage over other traders. He exposed the situation with a complaint in 2011 to the Securities and Exchange Commission, which resulted in BATS Global Markets paying a record $14 million fine. A 2013 documentary film, The Wall Street Code, recounted Bodek's  investigation of  the illicit trading strategies.

He is the son of physicist Arie Bodek. He graduated from the University of Rochester in 1995 with a degree in mathematics and cognitive science, and went to work at Magnify, the company founded by computer scientist Robert Grossman. He married Elizabeth Bonheim in 1997.
