Joseph J. Loferski. Joseph John Loferski (August 7, 1925 – January 20, 1997) was an American physicist and a professor of engineering at Brown University. The New York Times called him "a pioneer in the development of solar cells".  During his long and successful career he focused primarily on photovoltaic cells and their ability to convert the energy in light to electricity. Loferski also wrote and spoke extensively on the physics of semiconductor materials such as silicon, and methods of improving the efficiency of photovoltaic cells. Loferski's work and that of other early researchers proved that semiconductor devices could produce commercially viable, pollution-free electricity.

Early life and education
Joseph J. Loferski was born in Hudson, Pennsylvania, the son of a coal miner.  He went to college at University of Scranton and attended the University of Pennsylvania, earning his master's degree in 1949 and his doctorate in 1953. At RCA Laboratories in Princeton, New Jersey, Loferski and his colleague Paul Rappaport began researching photovoltaic cells and solar energy.

Academic career
In 1961, Loferski joined the division of engineering at Brown University.  He served as chairman of the division of engineering from 1968 to 1974, and as associate dean of the graduate school from 1980 to 1983. Loferski published over 150 technical papers and contributed chapters to five books.  He was also the co-recipient of six patents in the semi-conductor field and was a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. He chaired the 8th IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference in 1970 and was awarded the William Cherry Award in 1981.

Other activities
Loferski served as counselor at the European Space Research and Technology Centre in the Netherlands from 1967 to 1968 and in the 1970s he was an exchange fellow at the Polish Institute of Nuclear Research.  He served as a science and technology counselor at the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw from 1985 to 1987. A native speaker of Polish, he also translated scientific and technical research originating in Eastern Europe. He worked as a consultant for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Department of Defense and the U.S. Navy, as well as for private companies including RCA and Honeywell.

Dr. Loferski and his wife of 48 years, Sylvia D. Sweeda, raised six children.  In 2002 he was posthumously inducted into the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame.

Founded in 1978 in Windsor, Northern California by Fred Jamieson, the company is developing and manufacturing its products under the brand name Master Airscrew. The company is now headquartered in Rancho Cordova, California, selling its products worldwide.

History
Fred Jamieson started the Windsor Propeller Company in 1978. He got interested in modelling by his family. His great grand parents opened the first toy store in San Francisco. Before starting Windsor Propeller Company, Fred worked in aviation as a Navy test pilot, commercial airline pilot, helicopter test pilot, crop-duster and a private aviation pilot. He was also a drag racer and sports cars enthusiast.
Fred Jamieson began building and flying hobby aircraft in the 1960s and turned to propeller design in the 1970s by carving by hand propellers from maple wood blocks.

The first products under the Master Airscrew brand were produced in 1976. Fred started making 1/2A propellers and sending them to hobby shops, and in 1980 the company started selling fiberglass-filled propellers. The growth of the company began and 2 years later the company had 15 propellers. The designs were made by Fred himself, first by hand and later by specialized computer software. Today the company has more than 250 different styles and sizes of propellers and sells Master Airscrew products on six continents.

Arkansas II. The Arkansas II is a historic snagboat, berthed on the Arkansas River in North Little Rock, Arkansas.  She is a steel-hulled sternwheeler, with two decks.  The lower deck has a steel-frame cabin, while that on the second deck is wood-frame.  A wood-frame pilot house rises above the second deck.  The paddlewheel has a steel frame and wooden buckets.  The vehicle is utilitarian in appearance, lacking significant decoration.  The hull was built in 1939-40 by the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, and it was outfitted at the Ensley Bottoms shipyard of the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) at Memphis, Tennessee.  It is believed to be the last steam-powered paddle-wheeler built by the USACE.

The boat was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

Maule M-1. The Maule M-1 was a 1930s American single-seat monoplane designed an built by Belford Maule, the first in a series of aircraft designed by Maule.

Design and development
Maule had joined the United States Army in 1918 and was employed as a mechanic working on airships, he decided to design and build his own aircraft later called the M-1. At the time he was close to Chesapeake Bay so the mid-wing monoplane was built as a floatplane with twin floats. The aircraft was powered by a Henderson  converted motorcycle engine. Maule left the Army and he transported his aircraft to his new home, now registered NC12634. He first flew it in 1932 although he had no flying experience at that time. In 1933 Maule joined the research and development department of Lycoming but by 1940 he left and continued to develop designs for aircraft. At some point, the aircraft was also fitted with a conventional wheeled undercarriage.

Andrew Peter Mackenzie. Andrew Peter Mackenzie  (born 1964) is a director of Physics of Quantum Materials at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden, Germany and Professor of Condensed Matter Physics at the University of St Andrews, Scotland.
He became a co-editor of the Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics as of 2020.

Education
MacKenzie was educated Hutchesons' Grammar School in Glasgow and the University of Edinburgh where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in 1986. He went on to study at the University of Cambridge where he was awarded a PhD in 1991 for research on the role of stoichiometry in high-temperature superconductivity.

Research and career
Mackenzie is a world leading authority in strongly-correlated systems and renowned for his pioneering experiments in this area. His contributions to this new field of condensed matter physics have been comprehensive, ranging from the growth of the world's highest purity crystals of the materials of interest to the development of techniques for performing extremely high resolution transport and thermodynamic measurements at ultra-low temperatures. His work has led to the discovery of several new quantum many-body states. These include a superconducting analogue of the superfluid He3, a new class of quantum critical states and the first example of a liquid crystal state formed by strongly correlated electrons. He is also leading the way in developing surface-sensitive spectroscopies as future high precision probes of the correlated systems and as part of the long-term quest to see them used in a new generation of quantum electronics.

Naturix. Naturix is a 1994 action-adventure game developed by Radek Štěrba for Atari 8-bit computers.

Plot
The Game is set in a Solar System where a Planet called Naturland can be found. It is inhabited by a Race called Naturix. They are dependent on Power Supplies from a Base on the farthest Moon of Naturland. The Protagonist is sent there for some Energy but the Base is occupied by Hostile beings.  He has to find four Energy boxes and a Navigation Tool in order to get home.

He returns to his Spacecraft after he obtains everything and leaves the Base. He is last seen flying in the Spacecraft towards Home.

Gameplay
Player controls a Character of Naturix. His task is to find 4 Boxes and a Navigation Tool. When he obtains all needed items then he has to get to his Spacecraft and leave the Base. He has to search a large base full of Enemies to fulfil this task. He can fire laser shots to kill Enemies but there is a limited amount of Ammo. There are also places where the player has to solve some puzzles.

Development
The game was developed by Radek Štěrba (Raster Software). He got his first Atari 8-bit computer in 1988. He started to experiment with programming and also created some simple games. He worked with his high school friend Robert Knill. Štěrba admitted that their first projects weren't really good but they got better. Štěrba helped Knill with some games but also created some of his own. His first big game was Predator (1991) that he created with help of Knill.

Štěrba developed Naturix during his studies at Palacký University, Olomouc in 1994. He discussed the development with Robert Knill. Knill talked him to redesign the main character. Knill's critical expression to the original design almost led to a split between them but Štěrba admitted that Knill was right and was glad that he followed Knill's advice. Naturix was released as a commercial game in 1994. Štěrba considered Naturix to be his finest Work. Štěrba was also thinking about a sequel. Štěrba released the game for free in 1999 along his other games.

Flop Magazine published a demo version of the game in its 29th Volume. It included much smaller World and the player could find only Energy Pills and laser shots.
