Thomas Malcolm Charlton. Thomas Malcolm Charlton FRSE (1 September 1923 – 1 February 1997) was a British civil engineer and historian. He is remembered for several notable textbooks on structural issues. He was a great lover of railways and railway engines.

Life

He was born on 1 September 1923, in South Normanton, Derbyshire, the  son of William Charlton, a mining engineer, and Emily May Wellbank. His early education was at Doncaster Grammar School and then Doncaster Technical College.

His university education began at London University, graduating BSc in 1943, but was the interrupted by the Second World War, which also caused a relocation of studies to University College Nottingham (under Prof C H Bulleid). After graduating, he was then interviewed by C.P. Snow for a position as a Junior Scientific Officer in what became the Royal Radar Establishment at Great Malvern, and took up this position.

In 1946, Charlton began work as an engineer and technical advisor in Newcastle. He stayed there for eight years. In 1954, Cambridge University offered him a lectureship and he moved there with his young family. The university granted him an honorary MA degree in the same year. In 1963, he was offered a Professorship by Queen's University Belfast, and accepted, finding this a much more comfortable position.
At Queen's, he became a member of many university committees, including the Buildings and General Policy Committee. In this role he condemned the concrete of university halls of residence, then under construction, as substandard, leading to their demolition. During the civil unrest in Northern Ireland he was asked to sit on the six person Advisory Council to the Ulster Defence Regiment under the chairmanship of General Sir John Anderson.

In 1970, Aberdeen University offered him a chair and he was Professor of Engineering there until he retired. An invitation to act as a visiting lecturer to Finland led to his being elected a Foreign Member of the Finnish Academy of Sciences. In 1973 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.

After his retirement in 1979, he moved with his wife to Burwell, Cambridgeshire and continued to write. He died at Burwell on 1 February 1997.

Family
He married Valerie McCulloch in 1950. They had two sons: Richard who became a minister and Edward who joined the RAF.

Peugeot Satelis Compressor. The Peugeot Satelis Compressor is a scooter made by the French company Peugeot from 2006 to 2012. In 2005, Peugeot created the Jet Force Compressor, the first scooter with a compressor (supercharger). This scooter was produced in two models, K15 for 15 hp, and K20 for 20 hp. This is due to the French law which allows people owning a B driving license (for cars) to drive motorbikes and scooters up to 125 cc and 15 hp. So the first model can be driven by an ordinary B car license, while the second needs a specific A motorbike license. Each model was available in 3 options:  Premium, City (with padlock), and Executive (with padlock + ABS).

Isolation chip. The Isolation chip (or ichip) is a method of culturing bacteria. Using regular methods, 99% of bacterial species are not able to be cultured as they do not grow in conditions made in a laboratory, a problem called the "Great Plate Count Anomaly". The ichip instead cultures bacterial species within its soil environment. The soil is diluted in molten agar and nutrients such that only a single cell, on average, grows in the ichip's small compartments or wells, hence the term "isolation". The chip is then enclosed in a semipermeable plastic membrane and buried back in the dirt to allow in nutrients not available in the lab. With this culturing method, about 50 to 60 percent of bacterial species are able to survive. Notably, the bacterial species Eleftheria terrae, which makes the antibiotic teixobactin that has shown promise against many drug-resistant strains like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, was discovered using the ichip in 2015. In addition to antibiotics, it is argued that anti-cancer agents, anti-inflammatory and  immunosuppressives (which have previously been discovered from bacteria) as well as potential energy sources could be discovered. The ichip was developed by the drug discovery company NovoBiotic Pharmaceuticals, founded by Kim Lewis and Slava Epstein.

Footbonaut. The Footbonaut is a football training machine which fires balls at different speeds and trajectories at players, who must control and pass the ball into a highlighted square. In addition to honing ball skills, the machine is designed to improve a player's reaction time.

Development 
Footbonaut was invented by Christian Güttler in Berlin, Germany. The machine is also described as a robotic cage. The Footbanaut, which costs $3.5 million is as large as an apartment with a cube shape and is capable of firing balls from a range of 360 degrees at different speeds and trajectories toward the training players. The players, who are standing inside a circle, must control the ball and pass it through one of 72 gates.

Mario Götze's winning goal of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Final has been credited to his years of practice using Footbonaut. It was reported that German team TSG 1899 Hoffenheim achieved its highest finish in the Bundesliga for five years - ninth place - after using the contraption. There are three clubs currently using Footbonaut in their training.

Monark 606. Monark 606 is a  sailboat class designed by Pelle Petterson and built in about 800 copies.

It is a small type of lightweight racing keelboat and has an excellent combination of stability and key characteristics of the dinghy.  For example, it is very easy to plane and increase speed drastically due to an excellent design, a flat bottom, a high-performance sail area, and a high power-to-weight ratio.

The 606 has a large cockpit relative to its size and allows for moving about easily, with the rudder positioned on the transom. It offers numerous opportunities for trimming, combined with liberal rules for its class, and is well-suited for coastal cruising and competitive racing.

Combined, these capabilities allow for a sporty and versatile boat that especially in Scandinavia appeals to enthusiasts. National championships are regularly held in Scandinavia and Finland.
