Volvo Scalable Product Architecture platform. The Volvo Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform is a global, full-size, unibody automobile platform developed and manufactured by Volvo Cars, which has been produced over two generations. It debuted in 2014 when the second-generation Volvo XC90 was released.  Work on the new in-house platform began in 2011 shortly after Volvo was acquired by Geely from Ford Motor Company.  During development, particular emphasis was placed on achieving weight-reduction, design commonality, manufacturing rationalization, and hybridization opportunities.  The new SPA platform replaced two prior vehicle architectures, the Volvo P2 platform and Volvo P3 platform. 

With SPA, Volvo claims it "enables significant improvements when it comes to offering protection in worst-case scenarios and when creating innovative features that support the driver in avoiding accidents." Volvo has invested 90 billion SEK in the platform.

All SPA based cars will be delivered with 4 cylinder engines. The diesel and petrol engines share the same Volvo Engine Architecture, and Volvo can build 530,000 engines per year.

The SPA2 platform, which is an EV-exclusive platform, debuted on the Volvo EX90 and Polestar 3 in 2023.

Oleg Ivanovsky. Oleg Genrikhovich Ivanovsky (; 18 January 1922 – 18 September 2014) was a Russian engineer in the former Soviet space program who played a pioneering role in spacecraft construction.

Ivanovsky graduated from the Moscow Power Engineering Institute in 1953. Designer-General Sergei Korolev recruited him into the Soviet space program. Ivanovsky rose to chief designer at OKB-1, Korolev's design bureau. Among other things he was deputy principal designer of the first and second Sputniks, principal designer of Vostok manned spaceships, and creator of space probes. Ivanovsky personally helped Yuri Gagarin mount the gantry and climb into Vostok 1 and helped rebolt the hatch after Gagarin complained that it had not been closed and sealed correctly. He was said to be the last person to shake Gagarin's hand before the Vostok 1 flight. Ivanovsky was the Recipient of the Lenin Prize (1960) and USSR State Prize (1977).

Pacific Employers Ins. Co. v. Industrial Accident Comm'n. Pacific Employers Insurance Co. v. Industrial Accident Commission, 306 U.S. 493 (1939), was a conflict of laws case decided by the United States Supreme Court, in which the court held that principles of federalism overcome the Full Faith and Credit Clause where a state is enforcing its own laws on events occurring within the state.

Facts
The plaintiff, a Massachusetts resident, was employed as a chemical engineer and research chemist by Dewey & Almy Chemical Company, a Massachusetts company. The employee traveled to California to visit a branch factory, where he was injured. The employee filed a lawsuit in California seeking compensation for his injuries. The employer tried to assert as a defense that under Massachusetts law, a person covered under Massachusetts workman's compensation waived the right to sue employer for damages. The California courts found the Massachusetts law inapplicable to an injury occurring in California, and the employee received an award under California employee compensation law. The insurance companies responsible for paying the award and subrogating the payment appealed.

Issue
The Supreme Court considered whether California's application of its own law to these circumstances violated the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the United States Constitution, which requires states to honor the laws of other states.

Result
The court unanimously held that the principle of federalism overcomes the Full Faith and Credit Clause – each state must be able to exercise its own laws within its own boundaries. In this case, there was no Full Faith and Credit Clause violation because California was merely applying its own law to events occurring in California.

SkyRider X2R. The SkyRider X2R  was a project for flying car design developed by Macro Industries. The SkyRider incorporates tough, lightweight composites for reduced structural weight, it utilizes four-ducted fans with wings to generate lift and maintain flight and uses control systems and onboard computers to generate a travel path to reach a destination given by voice commands.

While still in a prototype phase, the SkyRider is estimated to cost between $500,000 and $1 million, although price is expected to drop to $50,000 if it reaches mass production. In the early 2000s, Macro Industries planned but failed to have an operational prototype by 2005. In 2010, Macro Industries designed and proposed a militarized version of its SkyRider for the DARPA Transformer program. This has not been built as of July 2017

Blast-A-Way. Blast-A-Way is a 2012 puzzle video game developed and published by the Swedish studio Illusion Labs. The player controls a robot who must rescue creatures named Boxies by clearing paths from using their provided tools. Conceptualized from an image made by one of the studio's artists, the game was developed over a nine-month period. Released on August 30, 2012, for iOS, the game received praise for its gameplay and minimalist design but criticism for its controls.

Gameplay 

Blast-A-Way is a puzzle video game. In each of the game's 80 levels, the player must clear paths to collect creatures, known as Boxies, by using their provided tools, including bombs and teleporters.

Development and release 
Blast-A-Way was developed by the Swedish studio Illusion Labs, who previously created mobile games such as Touchgrind (2008) and Labyrinth 2 (2009). The game's concept originated from one of the studio's artists, who created an image of box-headed robots throwing bombs. Initially planned to be an action game, Blast-A-Way would gradually become a puzzle game through its nine months of development; four were spent on prototyping, while the other five were spent on developing the game. The game was developed with Xcode, Adobe Photoshop, and 3D software in which they had built their own level editor.

The game's minimalist design was decided early in development; the studio decided to only use shading until they implemented textures to make the game "a little more appealing" to consumers. Controls took approximately a month to develop. Since the game was three-dimensional, the developers opted for a throwing mechanism instead of a slingshot mechanism. Blast-A-Way was released for iOS on August 30, 2012.

Reception 

On Metacritic, Blast-A-Way has a "generally favorable" score of 87 based on 10 critics.

Multiple publications praised the game.

The game's controls received mixed opinions. Although some critics found them simple, others said they were tricky to handle. Reviewers pointed issues in rotating the game's camera.

De Onderneming, Witmarsum. De Onderneming (; ) is a smock mill in Witmarsum, Friesland, Netherlands which was built in 1850 and is in working order. It is used as a training mill. The mill is listed as a Rijksmonument.

History
De Onderneming was built in 1850, probably by millwright Van der Meer of Harlingen, Friesland. The foundation stone was laid on 17 September. In 1896, the mill was bought by Geurt Stoffels. It passed to his son Heimen in 1956. Following Heimen's death in 1968, the mill fell into disrepair. It was bought by the Gemeente Wûnseradiel. Restoration took place in 1970-71. Further restorations took place in 1988 and 1994. The mill is in the ownership of the Stichting tot Behoud van Momumenten in de gemeente Súdwest Fryslân. Used as a training mill, it is listed as a Rijksmonument, № 39437.

Description

De Onderneming is what the Dutch describe as a "Stellingmolen". It is a smock mill on a wooden base. The stage is  above ground level. The smock and cap are thatched. The mill is winded by tailpole and winch. The sails are Common sails, fitted with the  Fok system on their leading edges. They have a span of . The sails are carried on a cast-iron windshaft, which was cast  by Fabrikaat De Muinck Keizer of Martenshoek, Groningen in 1891. The windshaft also carries the brake wheel which has 60 cogs. This drives the wallower (31 cogs) at  the top of the upright shaft. At the bottom of the upright shaft is the great spur wheel, which has 75 cogs. The great spur wheel drives a pair of  diameter Cullen millstones via a lantern pinion stone nut which has 22 staves. A pair of  Cullen millstones is driven via a lantern pinion stone nut which has 19 staves. Two pairs of Peak millstones, of  and  diameter, are driven via lantern pinion stone nuts which have 22 staves each.
