Lower crustal flow. In geodynamics lower crustal flow is the mainly lateral movement of material within the lower part of the continental crust by a ductile flow mechanism. It is thought to be an important process during both continental collision and continental break-up.

Rheology
The tendency of the lower crust to flow is controlled by its rheology. Ductile flow in the lower crust is assumed to be controlled by the deformation of quartz and/or plagioclase feldspar as its composition is thought to be granodioritic to dioritic. With normal thickness continental crust and a normal geothermal gradient, the lower crust, below the brittle–ductile transition zone, exhibits ductile flow behaviour under geological strain rates. Factors that can vary this behaviour include: water content, thickness, heat flow and strain-rate.

Collisional belts
In some areas of continental collision, the lower part of the thickened crust that results is interpreted to flow laterally, such as in the Tibetan plateau, and the Altiplano in the Bolivian Andes.

Manna Aviation. Manna Aviation is an Australian aircraft manufacturer based in Toronto, New South Wales, founded by Phil Hale. The company specializes in provision of parts and plans for amateur construction.

The company focuses on plans for wooden aircraft, with the aim of preserving older aircraft designs.

History

Manna Aviation was established in February 2012, initially as service intended to match available hangar space with aircraft owners seeking hangars. That business proved to be not profitable and the company expanded into aircraft parts, specifically for the Oceania market, including Australia.

The first product sold was an oxy-acetylene welding torch intended for use in welding 4130 steel tubing. This led to the founding of a new company, Cobra Torches Australia.

The company next became a dealer for Flybox Avionics of Italy in Australia and New Zealand, selling electronic flight instrument systems, engine-indicating and crew-alerting systems, instruments and an autopilot system. These lines were spun off to a new company, Cobra Aviation, leaving Manna Aviation to concentrate on the provision of aircraft plans and kits.

Manna Aviation acquired the rights to many of Falconar Avia's designs after that company's founder, Chris Falconar died on 9 September 2018 and that company was wound-up on 30 June 2019. Manna Aviation acquired the rights to the Falconar F9A, Falconar F10A, Falconar F11 Sporty, Falconar F12A Cruiser, Falconar Minihawk, Falconar SAL Mustang, Falconar AMF-14H Maranda and the Falconar AMF-S14 Super Maranda aircraft plans. The company intends to offers kits for the designs in time, as well as  builder-assistance programs.

The company also offers plans for Marcel Jurca's Jurca Sirocco and Druine Turbi designs.

Death and Taxes (video game). Death and Taxes is a simulation video game by Leene Künnap, an Estonian indie game developer, and published through their company, Placeholder Gameworks, on February 20, 2020. The game has the player take the role of a Grim Reaper, who must bureaucratically decide the fates of humans, specifically whether they will live or die. The game shares its ideology with the death-positive movement. On March 18, 2020, Placeholder Gameworks uploaded the game code under the MIT License on GitHub.

Gameplay 
The gameplay of Death and Taxes focuses on the work life of a Grim Reaper on an office job. The main objective of the player is to make difficult decisions to determine who could be saved from death and who is destined for certain doom, while keeping the game's fictional world in balance. Each human the player decides the fate of is given a short description about who they are; based on this, certain people living or dying can affect the world in various ways; the outcome of the game depends on the player's decisions. The player is given instructions on how they are supposed to make these decisions by their overseer, Fate, but the player may choose to ignore these instructions. Players can also customize their workspace and appearance with the money they earn. The game attempts to help people relate more easily to themes of death, to see them in a new perspective and to offer the player a chance for self-reflection.

Reception

Critical reception 
Death and Taxes was met with positive reception. Alice Bell of Rock Paper Shotgun called it "very funny" and praised the "really fun story running through [it]." Courtney Ehrenhofler of TechRaptor reviewed it as "a short, fun game with plenty of replay value." Many positive comparisons were drawn between the game and Lucas Pope's Papers, Please, which served as an inspiration for Death and Taxes.

Awards 
Death and Taxes won the third place at the 2018 Game Camps Kotka competition.

Non-Euclidean surface growth. In the field of surface growth, there are growth processes that result in the surface of an object changing shape over time. As the object grows, its surface may change from flat to curved, or change curvature. Two points on the surface may also change in distance as a result of deformations of the object or accretion of new matter onto the object. The shape of the surface and its changes can be described in terms of non-Euclidean geometry and in particular, Riemannian geometry with a space- and time-dependent curvature.

Examples of non-Euclidean surface growth are found in the mechanics of growing gravitational bodies, propagating fronts of phase transitions, epitaxial growth of nanostructures and additive 3D printing, growth of plants, and cell motility

Bettertonite. Bettertonite is a mineral of the arsenate category, named after John Betterton. He is a museum geologist and mineralogist at Haslemere Educational Museum in Surrey, England. Bettertonite is a white arsenate mineral with a formula of [Al6(AsO4)3(OH)9(H2O)5]・11H2O. Bettertonite is in the monoclinic system and has a heteropolyhedral layered structure type. It is a natural forming polyoxometalate. Bettertonite forms in clusters of radiating rectangular laths. Laths are thin and usually < 20 μm laterally. Laths are flat on {010}. Bettertonite is similar to penberthycroftyite and it transforms into penberthycroftyite at low temperatures (67–97 °C).

Physical Properties
Bettertonite is a white and translucent mineral. It has a vitreous and silky to pearly luster. It has a calculated density of 2.02 g/cm3. Bettertonite has perfect cleavage on {010}. Bettertonite’s hardness and fracture were not observed. Bettertonite is nonpleochroic and biaxially positive with α = 1.511 (1), β = 1.517 (1), γ = 1.523 (1).

Occurrence
Bettertonite was discovered in St. Hilary, Cornwall, UK, at the Penberthy Croft Mine. The Penberthy Croft Mine is known for the rare secondary CuPbFe arsenates that have been found there. Bettertonite most likely formed as a product of leaching and the replacement of Al to Fe in pharmacosiderite. Bettertonite infills isolated cavities in quartz veins and is associated with arsenopyrite, chamosite, liskeardite, pharmacoalumite, and pharmacosiderite.

Structure, WDS data, and XRD data
Bettertonite forms in undulating layers that are parallel to (010). These undulating layers are made up of hexagonal rings of AlO6 octahedra. The rings are connected by AsO4 tetrahedra. The undulating stacking creates water-filled channels along [100]. Wavelength-Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (WDS) and Powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD) were used on Bettertonite to understand its chemical composition. WDS analyses, which included an average of 4 electron probes, yielded the following results when H2O was calculated on structural grounds and the analyses was normalized to 100%: Al2O3 = 29.5, Fe2O3 = 2.0, As2O5 = 30.1, SO3 = 1.8, Cl = 0.5, H2O = 36.2. XRD results can be found in a table located below. The empirical formula (based on 9 metal atoms) is Al5.86Fe0.26(AsO4)2.65(SO4)0.23(OH)9.82Cl0.13(H2O)15.5.
