Lobotomy Corporation. Lobotomy Corporation is a 2018 indie horror rogue-lite strategy management simulation video game developed and published by South Korean studio Project Moon for Microsoft Windows. Set in a futuristic dystopia, the game follows the management and operations of the titular energy company that harvests energy from strange and dangerous entities known as "Abnormalities". The premise of Lobotomy Corporation is cited to be inspired by the SCP Foundation, Warehouse 13, and The Cabin in the Woods.

Initially a standalone game, Lobotomy Corporation has become the basis for a connected series of video games, webcomics and web novels, including the direct sequel deck-building game Library of Ruina, and a connected installment, Limbus Company.

Development 
In an interview for GameSpark in 2018, Project Moon CEO Kim Jihoon explained how development of Lobotomy Corporation began:

Kim also writes in the interview that the development team initially consisted of four people, but grew to ten prior to release.

Gameplay
The game goes day by day, with the player making decisions on which employees would perform what work on an abnormality in order to produce energy, taking into account the risks and dangers that might arise such as ordeals which represent hallucinations of the main character. The goal of each day is to reach a certain quota of energy (referred to as enkephalin), in order to progress. In between each day is dialogue between the main character and their employees in order to slowly reveal the backstory of the company and it's employees.

Reception 
The game was released in April 2018. In January 2023, nearly five years after launch, Project Moon reported the game had sold over 1 million copies.

In a review for Rock Paper Shotgun, Alec Meer praised the ambience and design of the game, but highlighted an excessive amount of dialogue, compounded by a poor English translation described as "awful", and concluded "[Lobotomy Corporation is] unnecessarily complicated and too small and repetitive, all at the same time." The English version has since been entirely retranslated.

A sequel, deck-building game Library of Ruina, was released for Windows and Xbox One in August 2021. A third installment, dungeon role-playing game Limbus Company, was released in February 2023. A companion manhwa, Wonderlab, was serialized from March 2020 to April 2021, though it has been taken down by the artist and is no longer canon to the Project Moon universe.

Zhang Xu (engineer). Zhang Xu (; 6 November 1913 – 12 September 2015) was a Chinese telecommunications engineer and academic who taught for more than five decades at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. He was the first professor in China to teach radio communications and played a major role in the development of fiber-optic communication in the country. He was elected an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1980.

Biography 
Zhang was born on 6 November 1913 in Wuxi, Jiangsu, Republic of China. After graduating from the Department of Electrical Engineering from National Chiao Tong University (now Shanghai Jiao Tong University) in 1934 with top grades, he was awarded a government scholarship to study in the United States. He completed his master and Ph.D. degrees at Harvard University in 1936 and 1940, respectively.

Zhang returned to China in 1940 and became a professor in the Department of Telecommunications at National Chiao Tong University. He also taught as an adjunct professor at Tongji University, University of Shanghai, and Utopia University. He was the first professor in China to teach radio communications.

In 1956, he was transferred to the newly established Chengdu Institute of Radio Engineering (now University of Electronic Science and Technology of China), where he taught for the next 22 years. He returned to Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 1978 and served as Chair of the Electrical Engineering Department of the university. He was elected an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1980.

Zhang died on 12 September 2015 in Shanghai, at the age of 101.

Contributions 
As one of the experts who helped establish China's telecommunications networks, Zhang is considered a telecommunications pioneer in the country. Together with Ye Peida and Huang Hongjia, he played a major role in developing fiber-optic communication in China in the 1980s. In 1988, Zhang and Ye published a report that advised the breakup of the monopoly that the Ministry of Posts and Communications held in China's telecommunications industry. The Chinese government adopted their proposal and created shareholding companies to operate the country's telecom networks.

Zhang authored, edited, or translated 56 books and published more than 400 articles, including about 100 research papers. His teaching career spanned more than five decades until his eighties. He educated nearly 1,000 students, including academicians  and Zhao Zisen.

Critical reception 
The film has received mixed reviews, and holds a 46% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and a score of 45 on Metacritic. Critics tended to praise its original concept, but criticized the characterization and romantic plotting as shallow, with the LA Times complaining that "Gil’s overly clever notion wears out its welcome" and "Manel and Elena are wispily drawn characters with predictable arcs". Variety was more positive, calling it a "fizzing, restless, wholly singular fusion of physics lecture and romcom" stating also that "The love story and the academic treatise gradually impinge on each other more than they inform each other". The Hollywood Reporter likewise stated "Though it is intermittently witty, visually playful and laudable in its attempt to appeal to both head and heart, Laws abandons its characters to its big concept".

Alden Rowing. Alden Rowing manufactures sliding-seat rowing boats. Their original product, the Alden Ocean Shell, was designed in (sources differ) 1970 or 1971.  Traditional shell designs use high aspect ratio hulls, with long waterline with minimum beam, that emphasize racing performance at the cost of stability.  These types of boats are only usable on flat water.  Alden, however, specializes in shorter, beamier, highly stable designs which are suitable for rowing in open water, where swells are commonly encountered.  As of 2004, Alden had sold 25,000 shells.

History

The original Alden Ocean Shell was designed by Arthur E. Martin, a naval architect, trained at Webb Institute. Martin had begun experimenting with fiberglass as a boatbuilding material in the 1960s.  His first design, a  kayak, was developed in 1966.  Over the next few years, he added a sliding seat and a deck to shed water; this evolved into the Alden Ocean Shell by 1970.  Martin Marine was formed in 1971, located in Cohasset, Massachusetts.  In 1972, the company moved to Kittery, Maine.  Arthur Martin died in 1992, after which the company moved through several ownerships.  As of 2006, it was headquartered in Rowley, Massachusetts, under the name Alden Rowing Shells.

In the first year of production, 165 were sold.  Martin also developed the drop-in rowing mechanism which came to be called the Oarmaster, which has since evolved over a series of design iterations.  This was a metal frame containing the sliding seat, foot stretcher, outriggers, and oarlocks.  The frame could be installed in many different boat designs.  It isolated all the high stress loadpaths to the metal frame, eliminating point-loads on the boat's hull.  The original 16-foot model was sold with spruce and mahogany oars produced by East/West Custom Boats, in Eliot, Maine.

As of 2019, Alden Rowing produces a variety of 1x (single scull) and 2x (double scull) boats, ranging from 16 to 29 feet, all using the drop-in rowing unit concept.

Race
The Alden Ocean Shell Association was originally formed as a membership organization for people who owned Alden boats.  The organization sponsors a race from Fort Foster to the Isles of Shoals, crossing  of open ocean off the coast of Maine.  In 2006, they reorganized into the International Recreational Open Water Association (IROW), and dropped the requirement for members to own Alden boats.

The Mariners' Museum and Park has an Alden 16 in their collection.  They describe the boat as having "a flat bottom for stability and a flaring bow for lift and dryness, all very different from the traditional narrow, round-bottomed, straight-sided shell".
