Haddon King. Haddon Rymer Forrester King (4 February 1905 – 1990), was an Australian geologist, winner of the Clarke Medal in 1972.

King was born in Georgetown, British Guiana, son of George Forrester King and his wife Jessie Ann, née Kingsland. In 1926 he started as a surveyor’s assistant on the Geological Survey of British Guiana under the supervision of H. J. C. (Terence) Conolly. King obtained his surveyor’s licence in 1929 and then moved to Canada where he studied mining engineering at the University of Toronto (B.A.Sc., 1934). King gained experience in mineral exploration working with Conolly in the Timmins and Sudbury Basin regions.

King was invited to join the newly formed Western Mining Corporation in Western Australia in 1934 `to apply the latest ideas in geology, geophysics, geochemistry and aerial photography to the scientific search for new mineral deposits’, collaborating with U.S. consultants. King became senior geologist in 1936. In 1953, King became chief geologist of Consolidated Zinc.

King’s most significant contribution to mining geology came from his recognition that the Broken Hill ore body (along with other similar deposits worldwide) originated as sedimentary layers of metals, rather than later replacements from metallic solutions.

King won the W. R. Browne Medal of the Australian Geographic Society in 1984.

List of retroreflectors on the Moon. Retroreflectors are devices which reflect light back to its source. Six were left at six sites on the Moon by three crews of the Apollo program, two by remote landers of the Lunokhod program, and one by the Chandrayaan program. Lunar reflectors have enabled precise measurement of the Earth–Moon distance since 1969 using lunar laser ranging.

Several unsuccessful attempts to land retroreflectors on the lunar surface have been made, and several future attempts are planned.

List of stock used by Ferrocarril de Antofagasta a Bolivia. This article gives an incomplete list of locomotives used by the   Ferrocarril de Antofagasta a Bolivia (FCAB).

FCAB has bought only few new diesel locomotives. Instead, starting in 1978, they have bought a wide range of second hand engines (some in scrap condition) from various railway companies in South America, Newfoundland and Australia. Most locomotives are EMD types, with the exception of one Alco engine (1201) and two Davenport shunters. The Australian units were built by EMD licensee, Clyde Engineering. Thus, for most practical purposes, these are EMD locomotives.

CST–Panvel fast corridor. The CST–Panvel fast corridor was a proposed elevated suburban rail corridor on the Harbour Line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway for air-conditioned EMUs (Electrical Multiple Units). The proposed corridor was scrapped by the Centre government on the advice of NITI ayog.

History
The CST–Panvel fast corridor was first proposed in the 2009-10 Railway Budget. The proposed corridor would have been 48.3 km long, elevated for 31.6 km of the route and at grade for 12.4 km, where it would have run parallel to existing lines. The corridor would also have required the construction of a 4.3 km bridge over Thane Creek. Rail India Technical and Economic Services Limited (RITES) conducted the techno-economic feasibility study for the corridor. It estimates the project to cost .

In July 2016, the Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC) submitted a new plan for the corridor which received approval from the Railway Board. Under the new plan, the corridor will be 47 km long and include 11 stations. It will begin at Carnac Bunder, near CST's platform 18, and travel towards Wadi Bunder after passing above Mansion Road. From Wadi Bunder, the line passes along Dockyard Road, and then the existing CST-Panvel line until Vashi, before turning right towards Palm Beach Road. The line then follows the existing railway line from Belapur before terminating at Panvel. The CST-Mankhurd and Vashi-Belapur sections of the corridor will be elevated, and the Mankhurd-Vashi and Belapur-Panvel portions will be at grade level. Branch lines will connect the corridor with the Lokmanya Tilak Terminus and the proposed Navi Mumbai International Airport. The airport link will begin before the bridge on the Nerul-Uran railway line.

The Union Cabinet approved  in funding for several projects as part of the Mumbai Urban Transport Project 3A in March 2019. However, the proposed CST-Panvel corridor was dropped from review and did not receive funding.

Cost
The project is estimated to cost . The cost will be shared equally by the MRVC and the Government of Maharashtra.

Infrastructure

Rolling stock
Unlike the Mumbai Suburban Railway, rolling stock on the line was supposed to be air-conditioned.

Operations

Frequency
The frequency of train services is estimated at 4.5–5 minutes. The MRVC plans to operate 25 during peak hours. End-to-end travel time on the line will be 50 minutes. A trip from CST to Panvel on the existing Harbour Line takes 90 minutes.

Stations
The line is proposed to have 11 stations.

International Conference on Computer Communications. The first International Conference on Computer Communications was held October 24–26, 1972 in Washington, DC at the Hilton Washington. It was organized by BBN Technologies under the direction of Bob Kahn and was one of the first public demonstrations of computer networking technology and functionality as well as products of the ARPANET project.

IPTO Director Lawrence Roberts, who would serve as the conference's chair, decided that the ICCC would be the ideal place to showcase the capabilities of ARPANET.  With the help of MIT professor Al Vezza, Khan enlisted help from across the country of scientists and students working with ARPANET. A Terminal Interface Processor was installed at the Hilton, connected to ARPANET by a dedicated phone line installed by AT&T, and then connected to dozens of terminals set up on the floor. The conference began with a VIP reception on the 22nd before opening on the 24th. The ARPANET demo was a "mind-blowing" success, connecting attendees to systems across the nation and abroad to engage them in a variety of activities, including interacting with an air traffic control system and playing computer chess.  The success of the demo prompted an acceleration of the use and expansion of ARPANET, bringing the network closer to becoming the modern internet.

Bob Metcalfe wrote a book called "Scenarios" that described 19 ways the network could be used.

Hartman monoplane. The 1910 Hartman monoplane or Hartman original was the first aircraft built and flown in Iowa.

Design and development
Arthur J. Hartman built his first monoplane in Burlington, Iowa, completing the project in 1910.

The monoplane was modeled after a Blériot XI. The monoplane is an open framed aircraft with wire-braced fabric covered wings and conventional landing gear, powered by a Detroit aero engine. The fuselage frame, spars, and ribs are made of wood. Roll control was performed with wing-warping.

Operational history
Hartman made one takeoff attempt from the Burlington, Iowa golf course, reaching ten feet in altitude. A hard landing collapsed the landing gear. The aircraft became the first to fly in Iowa. Some consider the short flight not long enough to qualify as the "first flight" and recognize Curtiss Exhibition Team pilot Bud Mars the first to fly in Iowa, in a Curtiss Pusher on 29 June 1910 at Sioux City, Iowa.

In June 1913, the aircraft was converted to a hydroplane, and flow a very short distance before crashing into the water.

The Hartman monoplane was rebuilt with a steel tube fuselage, updated Anzani engine and ailerons. It was flown at airshows by Hartman from 1939 until 1956 when it was donated to the Pioneer Village Museum in Minden, Nebraska.

Arthur J. Hartman. Arthur John Hartman (July 14, 1888 – October 19, 1970) was an American pilot and early aircraft builder.

Biography 
He was born on July 14, 1888, in Burlington, Iowa. Hartman ran away from home at the age of 15 working his first job at the Illinois Steel Boiler Company in Chicago, Illinois, and offering his labor for free at the neighboring Goddard Balloon company. He soloed in a balloon on 6 September 1903, three months before the first heavier than air flight by the Wright Brothers. Hartman would demonstrate parachute drops from a balloon, and at one point from a water tower resulting in a landing in power lines that left him unconscious. Later in 1907, Hartman and a partner built a 67 ft long airship. In 1910 Hartman built the Hartman monoplane, based on a Blériot XI design. His small hop performed on 10 May 1910 became the first flight of an aircraft in Iowa. Hartman founded the short-lived Hartman-Sellers Airplane Company in 1919 with a fleet of one aircraft that produced more income off the hay from the airfield than barnstorming and operations. The Burlington Airplane Company was founded next after World War I to sell Curtiss Jenny services. Hartman remained active in aviation throughout his life founding Burlington Municipal Airport in 1927 and operating a flight school. In 1956 Hartman demonstrated the Hartman Air-Bike, a series of 50 hydrogen balloons propelled by a suspended pedal-powered frame with a propeller. In 1961, Hartman completed a scratch-built Curtiss Jenny, and demonstrated it at the age of 73.

He died on October 19, 1970, in Burlington, Iowa.
