Allard M2. The Allard M2 is a sports car manufactured by the British Allard Motor Company during 1951 and replaced the M. The M2 was often called "the Whale" due to its new front design featuring an "A" grille and large one-piece bonnet and integrated wings. Only seven were built before it was replaced at the end of 1951 by the M2X.

Launched in 1951 to replace the M, the new M2 was not well received and only seven were sold. The M2 is a two-door, four-seater convertible, powered by the same Ford 3.6 litre (3622 cc) engine as the precious M. The M2 is equipped with a three-speed gearbox, and could reach a top speed of 85 mph. The body is constructed with aluminium panels.

Allard M2X
Poor sales of the M2 resulted in the updated M2X being released at the end of 1951. The M2X is in effect the convertible version of the P1 coupe. New front suspension, shared with the J2, allowed more space in the cockpit. The M2X offered the same 3.6 V8 but with the gear change moving back to the centre.  A larger 4.4 L V8 was also available.

In production until 1952, 25 M2X were built.

Deb Roy. Deb Roy is a Canadian scientist, tenured professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the director of the MIT Center for Constructive Communication.

Biography
Roy received a bachelor of applied science in computer engineering from the University of Waterloo, and a PhD in Media Arts and Sciences from MIT. He previously was the executive director of the MIT Media Lab  and directed the Cognitive Machines group at the Media Lab, and the Laboratory for Social Machines.

Roy conducts research on language, games, and social dynamics at the intersection of artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology. An author of over 150 academic papers in machine learning, cognitive modeling, and human-machine interaction, his TED Talk, Birth of a Word (based on the 2006–2009 Human Speechome Project), has been viewed over 2.8 million times.

In 2008, he co-founded and was the founding CEO of Bluefin Labs, a social TV analytics company, which MIT Technology Review named as one of the 50 most innovative companies of 2012. Bluefin was acquired by Twitter in 2013, and Roy served as chief media scientist of Twitter from 2013 to 2017. He is also co-founder and chairman of Cortico, a nonprofit media technology company whose Local Voices Network aims to foster constructive public conversations across political and cultural divides.

The Laboratory for Social Machines started in 2014 with an investment of $10 million from Twitter over a five-year period. The agreement also gives the lab access to all historical Twitter data and access to the firehose of all real-time tweets. The lab aims to "create new platforms for both individuals and institutions to identify, discuss, and act on pressing societal problems."

In 2018, Soroush Vosoughi, Deb Roy, and Sinan Aral published "The spread of true and false news online" in Science. The paper examined "~126,000 stories tweeted by ~3 million people more than 4.5 million times," and found that "Falsehood diffused significantly farther, faster, deeper, and more broadly than the truth in all categories of information, and the effects were more pronounced for false political news than for false news about terrorism, natural disasters, science, urban legends, or financial information." Additionally, the authors found that "Contrary to conventional wisdom, robots accelerated the spread of true and false news at the same rate, implying that false news spreads more than the truth because humans, not robots, are more likely to spread it."

Ground-to-Air Transmitter Facility. Ground-to-Air Transmitter Facilities (GAT Facility) were surface-to-air missile radio uplink stations of the United States Air Force.

They were located near CIM-10 Bomarc bases (e.g., Suffolk County Missile Annex on Long Island) for command guidance of the Interceptor Missiles.  The unmanned sites with a transmitter building and 2 antenna towers converted the digital "midcourse guidance commands" (after the launch/climb and before the homing dive) received from an AN/FSQ-7 Combat Direction Central into the transmitter building's Digital Data Receivers, processing 28 channels of uplink data.

Processing by the AN/GKA-4A's  demultiplexer group prepared the SAGE data for amplitude modulation on separate frequencies for each missile (FDDL: frequency-division data link), e.g., 3 missiles were simultaneously controlled in a 1960 test.  An AN/GRT-3 transmitter provided the modulated signals to a UHF Klystron high power amplifier—dual chains of components provided redundancy, including 2 exterior GAT Antennas on GAT Towers from which a missile's "command receiver" demodulated the signal.  A single local monitoring cabinet allowed review of either chain's function (e.g., during test input to the dummy load), ventilation provided cooling of the building equipment, and "three 150 KVA diesel driven  generators housed in the GAT building" provided power.

For the advanced Bomarc (IM-99B), a Time-Division Data Link was planned for GAT Facilities to provide an electronic counter-countermeasures capability using a "directional hlgh-gain data link antenna…composed of 16 stationary segments in a circular pattern 60 feet high".

Saint Marys Falls Hydropower Plant. The Saint Marys Falls Hydropower Plant (also known as the Edison Sault Power Plant, Michigan Lake Superior Hydroelectric Power Plant, and the Cloverland Electric Cooperative Power House) is an 18-MW hydroelectric generating plant located in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan (the "Soo").  It extracts water from the St. Marys River under the supervision of the Army Corps of Engineers, and the power is taken up and distributed by the Cloverland Electric Cooperative, a rural utility that serves the Soo area.

History
As of 2024, the Soo hydropower plant is one of the oldest large generating stations still operating in the United States.  The power canal and generator complex were begun in September 1898 and completed in June 1902, using engineering work from the first iteration of large-scale electrical generation in the late 1800s.  It was from this work that the plant and utility that grew up around it acquired their historic name of Edison Sault, although Thomas Edison did not himself build the plant.

The Soo hydropower plant was built to contain 74 generators under a single roof.  This was done under the constraints of the Classical style, by building an industrial structure of  in length parallel to the St. Marys River and facing the structure with masonry.  The sandstone facing of the power station was chiseled out of blocks pulled from the Edison Sault Power Canal, the feeder canal that chutes water to the plant.  President William Howard Taft visited the plant in 1911.  The power canal and hydroelectric plant were together named a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1983.

Although the hydroelectric plant could generate as much as 25-30 megawatts if operating at full capacity, grid planners rate it at 18 MW.

Formula Manipal. Formula Manipal is a Manipal Academy of Higher Education-based on a student project which aims to design, build and test a Formula-style race car. It started as an abstract idea in 2007, and today it has become the largest and most successful student initiative of Manipal University. The team consists of over sixty inter-disciplinary undergraduates who aim to conceive, design, fabricate, develop, and compete with Formula style vehicles at International Formula Student events.

Formula Manipal has been competing in the International Formula Student competitions for the past ten years. It made its debut in 2008 at FSAE Italy with the FM08. In the following year,  the team participated in the Formula Student event in UK with the FM09. The team then had a successful participation in FS Austria with the FM-X, the season 2010 car. The year 2011 saw the development of the fourth prototype, the FMXI, which competed in FSAE Italy.

Season 2013 turned out to be the most amazing year for Formula Manipal in its history. For the first time, the team successfully participated in two FSAE events in the same calendar year with the FMX3. First, the team went to FS Germany and later to the FS Czech Republic.

FMX4, the season 2014 car scaled new heights at the Formula Design Challenge 2015 winning seven trophies in all after commendable performances in the Formula Student Germany and Formula Student Czech Republic 2014.

FMX6, the season 2016 car participated in 3 events which consisted of 2 international, FS Germany 2016 and FS Czech Republic 2016 and the first national Formula Student event, Formula Bharat in the year 2017.

FMX8, the season 2018 car competed in 1 International Formula Student Competition-Formula Student at Austria where the team stood 26th internationally and 1 National Competition Formula Bharat in Coimbatore where the team stood 3rd overall making Formula Manipal one of the best nationally. This season also marked the first ever Formula Manipal Electric Vehicle, the FMX8e.

FM20 and FM20e, the season 2020 cars participated in Formula Bharat 2020 and secured a position of 8th out of 51 participating team.

FMXX1, the season 2021 car competed in Formula Student Germany, ranking 6th internationally in the Business Plan Event, 17th internationally in the Cost Event, and 19th overall.

The FMXX1 was completely disassembled and remade from scratch again, resolving all the issues faced in FSG2022, and taken as FMXX1b to Formula Bharat 2023, where it stood 2nd in the Cost Event, 3rd in Autocross, 4th in Acceleration, and 5th overall.
