Rogalski and Wigura R.W.1. The Rogalski and Wigura R.W.1 was designed and built by a pair of students at Warsaw Technical University in 1927. The single example was a two-seat parasol-wing
monoplane which entered two national competitions, served the Warsaw Academic Aeroclub and also towed an advertising banner.

Design and development

The Seckja Lotnicza (SL) or Aeronautical Section of Warsaw Technical University, set up in 1916 by Ryszard Bartel and revived in 1921, played a significant part in the growth of Polish club flying. The 1925 Drzewiecki JD-2 was the first of their powered aircraft designs to be built and the second, designed by SL members Stanislaw Rogalski and Stanislaw Wigura, was the R.W.1. Its construction in the SL workshop was funded by LOPP and they were helped by staff from the factory of E. Plage and T. Laśkiewicz.

Its parasol wing was trapezoidal in plan and had an aerodynamically semi-thick section. It was built in two parts, each based on two spars. In front of the forward spar the wing was plywood-covered, with fabric aft. The two halves were joined centrally and held over the fuselage on a pair of transverse inverted-V cabane struts. On each side a pair of parallel struts from the spars to the lower fuselage longeron provided the primary wing bracing.

The R.W.1 was powered by a  Anzani 6 six-cylinder radial engine. Fuel tanks, together holding , were in the wing roots. Behind the engine fire wall the simple fuselage had a tapered, rectangular section, built around four longerons and frames and ply covered. It contained two open cockpits in tandem under the wing, fitted with dual control.  The empennage was conventional with its tailplane mounted on top of the fuselage and with a rounded vertical tail. The tail surfaces were built in a similar way to the wings and the rear control surfaces, like the ailerons, were unbalanced.

The mainwheels of its fixed landing gear were on a single axle with rubber shock absorbers at each end and supported by steel V-struts from the lower longerons. There was a tailskid under the fin.

It flew for the first time in about September 1927.

Operational history

Very soon after its first flight the R.W.1 competed in the First National Lightplane Contest, held in Warsaw in early October 1927. During this event the Anzani engine, which had a history of unreliability, failed, and the airframe was damaged in the subsequent emergency landing. After repair it was used by the Warsaw Academic Aeroclub.

In 1928 it generated some revenue for the club by acting as an air-advertisement tug for a coffee firm. In late October it took part in the Second National Lightplane Contest, again held at Warsaw. It qualified in twelfth place, but a take-off accident broke off the rear fuselage, after which the R.W.1 did not fly again.

Its designers teamed up with Jerzy Drzewiecki, another Warsaw student, and some twenty-two designs were built under the joint RWD acronym.

Autogenous welding. Autogenous welding is a form of welding in which the filler material is either supplied by melting the base material or is of identical composition. The weld may be formed entirely by melting parts of the base metal, and no additional filler rod is used. 

There is some variation in the use of this term. Those bodies concerned with teaching the craft skill of welding tend to define it as using no filler rod, i.e. the technique is based purely on the base metal. Those concerned with the welded joint's metallurgy may make no distinction between a filler rod and the base metal, provided that the final metallurgy is identical.

Most welding processes may be either autogenous or use additional filler. Some are characteristically autogenous and avoid filler. Some arc welding processes, including such major process such as manual metal arc (stick) welding and MAGS (wire-feed) welding, cannot be used autogenously, as they rely on the consumption of a filler rod to provide the arc.

Some processes are typically autogenous. These include some gas welding processes such as lead burning (although fillers may optionally be used) and oxy-acetylene welding in some positions, such as seam welding the edges of two overlapping sheets. Resistance welding, both spot welding and seam welding, is inherently autogenous, as there is no convenient way to apply a filler. Friction and laser welding have similar restrictions.

Some alloys are prone to changing their composition when heated, particularly a loss of zinc from brass by its evaporation as vapour. In these cases, an excess of 2–3% extra zinc may be provided in the filler rod to compensate. Silicon may also be used as an additive to reduce this loss.

A few materials, such as the HY-80 series of high-strength steels, require a non-autogenous process to control their metallurgy. However, advanced processes, such as hybrid laser arc welding, have been used to achieve the same effect autogenously.

Rajeev Misra. Rajeev Misra is a London-based banker and executive. He was the CEO of SoftBank Investment Advisers.

Early life and education 
Misra was born on 18 January 1962 in Balasore, Odisha, India. He attended Delhi Public School at Mathura Road, Delhi, India; studied chemical engineering at IIT Delhi; and the University of Pennsylvania (gaining a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering and then a Master of Computer Applications [MCA]). This was followed by a Master of Business Administration (MBA) at the Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Misra is a board member of both the University of Pennsylvania and MIT Sloan, and is on the board of trustees of Kaust.

Career 
Misra was Board Director of Softbank Group and CEO of Softbank Investment Advisers. Misra, who leads the team running the company's Vision Fund, joined SoftBank in 2014.

Misra spent about 25 years in finance, moving from Merrill Lynch to Deutsche Bank to UBS. At Deutsche Bank, he oversaw a team of credit traders whose bet against the U.S. subprime mortgage market was chronicled in The Big Short. He left Deutsche Bank in June 2008, when he was the global head for credit and commodities and was reportedly earning between 10 and 15 million euros a year. He then worked at the London-based TCI Fund for several months. He joined UBS in 2009, and in May 2014 he was a senior managing partner of Fortress Investment Group, until he joined Softbank in November 2014.

The Wall Street Journal detailed Misra's alleged attempts to undermine his internal rivals at Softbank, including planting stories, filing shareholder complaints, and using a "honey trap".

In July 2022, he stepped back from his executive roles at SoftBank Group to start his own venture fund, as reported by various news agencies. He has secured over $6 billion, including from Middle East investors.

In November 2024, Rajeev Misra announced that he was formally stepping down as co-chief executive officer of SoftBank Group Corp.’s Vision Fund.

Glowing pickle demonstration. Applying line voltage across  a pickled cucumber causes it to glow. A moist pickle contains salt as a result of the pickling process, which allows it to conduct electricity. Sodium (or other) ions within the pickle emit light as a result of atomic electron transitions, although it is not clear why the luminescence occurs at one end of the pickle.

The glowing pickle is used to demonstrate ionic conduction and atomic emission in chemistry classes, and also as a demonstration in lighting classes.

The first known fully documented demonstration was in a 1989 report from Digital Equipment Corporation. Although this was published as a full technical note and written up as a scientific paper, the publication date, April Fools' Day of that year, gives some indication as to the light-hearted nature of the document.

Northwest Airlines Flight 5. Northwest Airlines Flight 5 was a regularly scheduled, multiple stop flight from Chicago Municipal Airport to Boeing Field, Seattle. It had intermediate stops at Minneapolis; Fargo, North Dakota; Billings, Montana; Butte, Montana; and Spokane, Washington. On October 30, 1941, on the flight's leg between Minneapolis and Fargo, the Northwest Airlines Douglas DC-3A-269 operating the route crashed into an open field about 2 1/2 miles east of the Fargo airfield, just after 2:00 am local time. All 12 passengers and two of the three crewmembers aboard were killed. The flight's captain Clarence Bates, the sole survivor, would end up dying himself a year later from another aviation accident in St. Paul, Minnesota, test-flying a Consolidated B-24.

The cause of the crash was determined to be an excessive buildup of ice on the aircraft's wings.

SS John M. Brooke. SS John M. Brooke was a Liberty ship built in the United States during World War II. She was named after John Mercer Brooke, an early graduate of the United States Naval Academy, he perfected a "deep-sea sounding device", which was instrumental in the creation of the Transatlantic Cable. In 1861, he resigned his commission in the US Navy and joined the Confederate Navy where he was involved with the conversion of the ironclad , the development of a new rifled naval gun, the Brooke rifle, and the establishment of the Confederate States Naval Academy.

Construction
John M. Brooke was laid down on 30 December 1943, under a Maritime Commission (MARCOM) contract, MC hull 1550, by J.A. Jones Construction, Panama City, Florida; she was launched on 24 February 1944.

History
She was allocated to North Atlantic & Gulf SS Co., on 31 March 1944. On 15 May 1946, she was laid up in the National Defense Reserve Fleet, in the James River Group, in Lee Hall, Virginia. On 2 February 1947, she was sold her J.S. Coumantaros, Piraeus, Greece. She was renamed Stavros Coumantaros. She was scrapped in Taiwan, in 1968.
