Monterrey Foundry. The Monterrey Foundry (In Spanish: Fundidora de Fierro y Acero de Monterrey, S.A.) was a Mexican iron and steel foundry founded in 1900 in the city of Monterrey, becoming the first such foundry in Latin America and, for many years, the most important one in the region.

At the end of the 19th century, Vicente Ferrara, aware of the existence of numerous iron and coal deposits in the surroundings of Monterrey, and having obtained experience working in steel foundries in the United States, saw the opportunity to found a similar company in Monterrey. To carry out his vision, he gained the support of an international consortium of entrepreneurs, including Antonio Basagoiti (Spain), Eugene Kelly (US), and Leon Signoret (France). As a capital-intensive industry, the enterprise also required significant investments from some of the wealthiest families of the industrialized north of Mexico at the turn of the twentieth century, including the Milmo, Madero, and Garza-Sada clans. Foreign capitalists, including the Guggenheims, also participated to a more limited extent.  

The company was successful during the first half of the twentieth century. Many significant engineering projects in Latin America were built with structural steel produced by the Monterrey Foundy. This included Torre Latinoamericana, the world's first major skyscraper successfully built on highly active seismic zone.

After many years in private hands, the firm was nationalized by the Mexican government in 1977 and remained operated by the public sector until its bankruptcy in May 1986. Today, the old site of the foundry has become Fundidora Park. For 60 years it was dedicated exclusively to the production of non-flat iron and steel articles, such as railways, wire rods, corrugated rods, structural steel, and train wheels, among others.

Amos F. Gerald. Amos Fitz Gerald (September 12, 1842 – June 14, 1913) was a railroad engineer from Maine, United States. He was nicknamed the "Electric Railway King" of the state due to his building 125 miles of Maine's early railroads.

Life and career 
Gerald was born in Benton, Maine, to a farming family. The family's surname was previously Fitzgerald but was shortened to Gerald after his great-grandfather's immigration from Ireland. Amos was given the middle name of Fitz, though he preferred to use the initial.

In 1860, aged eighteen, he left Benton for New Hampshire, where he became a log driver on the Merrimack River. He had several other jobs, including working as a blacksmith and a cattle buyer. He ran a curtain rod business, a woollen mill, a spring water company and a dairy which produced thousand of gallons of cream which was sold to Boston. He also purchased a salt business, and ran a harness-racing track in Philadelphia. Continuing his enterprising ways, Gerald created a patent on an invention which improved the head of a sewing machine, for which he received $16,000.

On October 23, 1867, he married Caroline W. Rowell. They lived together in Gerald's adopted home of Fairfield, Maine, in what is now known as the Amos Gerald House.

After regular visits to New York City, Gerald turned his interests to railways, and he became one of the directors of the Waterville & Fairfield Horse Railroad Company in 1887. The same year, he established, with three others, the Bath Street Railway; however, the line did not open for a further five years.

The Augusta, Hallowell & Gardiner Street Railway was incorporated on March 6, 1889. It was the second electric street railway to open in the state, after the Bangor Street Railway the previous year.

Gerald left Maine briefly for Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where he oversaw the regeneration of the town's failing street railway system.

The only daughter of the Geralds, Helen, died in 1902. She was married to noted Maine poet Holman Day.

In 1903, Gerald built the short-lived Casco Castle in South Freeport, Maine. He had conceived it as a resort, with rooms for around one hundred guests, to encourage travel by trolleycars. It was Gerald's second such attempt; the first, the  Merrymeeting Park, in Brunswick, Maine, was a failure due to the town's small population. It featured a casino, zoo, hotel, gardens and an amphitheater.

In 1910, he built today's Amos Gerald House in Fairfield. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Death
Gerald died of apoplexy in Portland, Maine, on June 14, 1913. He was 70. He was interred in Maplewood Cemetery in Fairfield, alongside his daughter. His wife, who survived him by thirteen years, was buried alongside them both.

Technetium(IV) oxide. Technetium(IV) oxide, also known as technetium dioxide, is a chemical compound with the formula TcO2 which forms the dihydrate, TcO2·2H2O, which is also known as technetium(IV) hydroxide.  It is a radioactive black solid which slowly oxidizes in air.

Preparation
Technetium dioxide was first produced in 1949 by electrolyzing a solution of ammonium pertechnetate under ammonium hydroxide and this method is used for separating technetium from molybdenum and rhenium. There are now more efficient ways of producing the compound, such as the reduction of ammonium pertechnetate by zinc metal and hydrochloric acid, stannous chloride, hydrazine, hydroxylamine, ascorbic acid, by the hydrolysis of potassium hexachlorotechnate or by the decomposition of ammonium pertechnetate at 700 °C under an inert atmosphere:
2 NH4TcO4 → 2 TcO2 + 4 H2O + N2
All of these methods except the last lead to the formation of the dihydrate.
The most modern method of producing this compound is by the reaction of ammonium pertechnetate with sodium dithionite.

Properties
The dihydrate dehydrates to anhydrous technetium dioxide at 300 °C, and if further heated sublime at 1,100 °C under an inert atmosphere, however, if oxygen is present, it will react with the oxygen to produce technetium(VII) oxide at 450 °C. If water is present, pertechnetic acid is produced by the reaction of technetium(VII) oxide with water.

If technetium dioxide is treated with a base, such as sodium hydroxide, it forms the hydroxotechnetate(IV) ion, which is easily oxidized to pertechnetic acid in numerous ways, such as the reaction with alkaline hydrogen peroxide, concentrated nitric acid, bromine, or tetravalent cerium.

The solubility of technetium(IV) oxide is very low and is reported to be 3.9 μg/L. The main species when technetium dioxide is dissolved in water is TcO2+ at pH below 1.5, TcO(OH)+ pH between 1.5 and 2.5, TcO(OH)2 pH between 2.5 and 10.9, and TcO(OH) above pH 10.9. The solubility can be affected by adding various organic ligands such as humic acid and EDTA, or by the addition of hydrochloric acid. This can be a problem if technetium(IV) oxide is released into the soil, as it will increase the solubility.

If technetium dioxide is electrolyzed in acidic conditions, the following reaction occurs:
TcO2·2H2O → TcO + 4 H+ + 3 e–
The electrode potential measured for this reaction is  kJ/mol.

The molar magnetic susceptibility of TcO2·2H2O was found to be χm = .

Commercially pure. Commercially pure materials, usually metals, are ones that have been purified to a practical extent, sufficient for commercial purposes; that is, they are close to absolute/theoretical purity albeit with some low-but-nonzero tolerance for impurities (such as trace metals) that allows for their economically viable production cost.

Major examples include: 
 Commercially pure titanium: see Titanium § Commercially pure titanium

Regional entity. A regional entity (RE) in the North American power transmission grid is a regional organization representing all segments of the electric industry:  electric utilities (investor-owned, cooperatives, state, regional, and municipal), federal agencies, independent power producers, power market operators, and end-users of the energy. North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) delegates to REs authority to enforce reliability standards (which NERC has throughout the contiguous United States), collectively REs, together with NERC, are known as an "ERO Enterprise" (from the Electric Reliability Organization).

History 
The regional entities, at the bottom of the structure for the development and enforcement of the reliability standards for the US electric grid, were established by the Section 215 of the Federal Power Act as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The statute tried to mimic the balance of power between the federal and state authorities in the US, with REs playing the role of regional (state-like) components.

As of 2021, there were six regional entities:
 Midwest Reliability Organization (MRO);
 Northeast Power Coordinating Council (NPCC);
 ReliabilityFirst (RF);
 SERC Reliability Corporation (SERC);
 Texas Reliability Entity (Texas RE); 
 Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC).

The original list included eight entities, two REs were later dissolved:
 Southwest Power Pool regional entity operation was dissolved in 2018 (by merging into MRO),
 Florida Reliability Coordinating Council was dissolved in July 2019 (by merging into SERC).

Functions 
The reliability standard development process had Regional Entities developing regional standards, to be approved by NERC and FERC. By the 2010, the process was slow: just nine standards were developed, all by the WECC.

An RE approves the transmission plans and chooses the projects for regional (as opposed to per-local-pricing-zone) cost allocation.

One of the important roles of an RE is suggesting to NERC (and FERC) to include the facilities into - or exclude from - the list of "elements" that constitute the bulk-power system (BPS, also known as a "bulk electric system", BES), subject to the oversight of the NERC.

Haiku the Robot. Haiku the Robot (stylized as Haiku, the Robot) is a 2022 Metroidvania video game developed and published by Estonian studio Mister Morris Games. It was released on 28 April 2022 for Windows and macOS, and for Nintendo Switch on 9 September 2022.

Gameplay
Haiku the Robot is a 2D side-scrolling metroidvania. Players control a robot named Haiku, as he fights through a ruined world populated by robots corrupted through a computer virus. Haiku can attack using a sword, pass through enemies by dashing, and jump. As Haiku kills foes, he collects scrap metal, which Haiku can spend immediately to restore his health, or save to buy power-ups at shops. Whenever Haiku dies, he loses all obtained scrap metal; However, he can buy a certain item that allows him to store the scrap metal at a vault when needed. Haiku can also equip a limited number of "chips" that give him new abilities and powers, such as greater health or an improvement to his sword. Chips can be bought at shops, with the player also able to buy "slots" that increase the number of chips Haiku is able to equip.

Reception
According to review aggregate website Metacritic, Haiku the Robot received "generally favorable reviews" for its Switch version. Commentators frequently drew comparisons between Haiku the Robot and the 2017 metroidvania game Hollow Knight. Nintendo World Report liked the currency system with scrap metal, but disliked that the world gave few objectives that the player could work towards, and felt as though the sword attack was boring. The reviewer for Kotaku said that Haiku the Robot was one of the best Metroidvania games that he had ever played, and praised the low difficulty, art style, and music.

Leonid Leibenson. Leonid Samuilovich Leibenson or Leybenzon (; 26 June, 1879 – 15 March, 1951) was a Russian and Soviet physicist who worked on fluid dynamics. The Leibenson equation named after him describes the flow of liquids through porous media. He helped establish research on petrochemical fluid research, developed the first Soviet wind tunnel and worked on mathematical approaches to study boundary layers in fluid dynamics.

Biography 
Leybenzon was born in Kharkiv where his father Samuil Lvovich was a physician. Educated at the Tula classical gymnasium he went to Moscow to study at the technical school. His teacher Nikolay Zhukovsky suggested that he studied aerodynamics and he graduated in 1906. In 1908 he became an associate professor in applied mathematics at the Moscow University. In 1911 he protested the policy of Lev Kasso and quit university to work on oil storage and piping with Vladimir Shukhov. Using seismic evidence he suggested that the Earth's interior was fluid in 1911. He then taught at Tiflis from 1913 and at Dorpat (Tartu) from 1915. He received a doctorate and became a professor at the University of Tartu. After the Russian Revolution he became a professor at the Georgian University at Tbilisi and in 1921 became dean of at the Baku Polytechnic. He returned to Moscow in 1922 and from 1932 he was associated with the Aerohydrodynamic Institute working on aerodynamics working on the stability of elastic shells. In 1936 he was arrested on political charges by the NKVD and was exiled to Kazakhstan along with his wife. Living in Akhtubinsk, he moved later to Temir, and taught at a school, while also working on mathematical methods to examine airflow. His release was sought by Sergey Chaplygin and he was acquitted in 1939. He returned to Moscow and joined the Institute of Geophysics. Here he examined tidal forces, and the elasticity of the Earth's crust. In 1945 he became head of the department of hydrodynamics.

1981 Zheleznogorsk mid-air collision. The 1981 Zheleznogorsk mid-air collision was an accident involving a Yakovlev Yak-40 jet and a Mil Mi-8T helicopter, both operated by the Russian airline Aeroflot, 11 km (6.9 miles) east of Zheleznogorsk-Ilimskiy Airport, Soviet Union, on 18 September 1981. None of the combined 40 passengers and crew on either aircraft survived.

Accident
While flight V-652 was inbound to Zheleznogorsk-Ilimskiy after its flight from Irkutsk on 18 September 1981, a Mil Mi-8T helicopter was also heading for the same airport after having finished its training flight from Bratsk. The crew of flight V-652 initiated their descent to the airport and had to pass through clouds while searching for the runway. When the plane was about 11 km (6.9 miles) East of the airport and at an altitude of , it collided with the helicopter who was also descending at 7.13am. Flight V-652 suffered immense damage to its left wing, fuselage and tail section, while the helicopter's main rotor and cockpit were destroyed with serious damage to its fuselage as well. Both aircraft nosedived towards the ground following the collision, and crashed in a wooded hilly terrain 400 meters (1,300 feet) from one another. None of the 29 passengers and 4 crew aboard flight V-652 survived the crash, and all 7 crew on board the Mil Mi-8T helicopter also perished in the disaster.

Aircraft
The Yakovlev Yak-40 involved, CCCP-87455 (msn 9431236) was built in 1974 and was used by Aeroflot from 1974 until its destruction in 1981. The Mil Mi-8T involved, CCCP-22268 (msn 6918) was also in use by Aeroflot at the time of the accident.

Aftermath
The wreckage of both aircraft were completely destroyed in the accident and post-crash fire. An investigation of the accident concluded that the cause lay with the poor surveillance conducted by ATC. The lack of communication between the three parties allowed the Mil Mi-8T helicopter to cross into the approach path of flight V-652.

Qaem 100. Qaem 100 (also Ghaem 100, , from a word meaning "upright") is an Iranian expendable, small-lift, space launch vehicle developed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). It was unveiled on 5 November 2022 and is the first rocket of the Qaem family. After a successful suborbital test flight in 2022, the rocket performed its orbital maiden flight in 2023 carrying the Nahid telecommunication satellite but failed to put it in orbit. In the next launch in 2024, it succeeded in putting the Soraya satellite into 750 km orbit, breaking Iran's previous altitude record.

Development history 

In 2020, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps successfully launched its first rocket, the Qased. Experience acquired through the Qased's development allowed the IRGC to develop the Qaem 100. Its first suborbital test flight has been successfully carried out on 5 November 2022. The IRGC then announced Qaem 100 will "soon" be used to launch the Nahid satellite manufactured by the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology of Iran. The Qaem 100 is planned to be followed by other Qaem rockets including the Qaem 105, Qaem 110 and Qaem 120, which will ultimately allow Iran to put satellites into the 36,000 km GEO orbit.

Design 

Qaem 100 is the first three-stage solid-fueled rocket manufactured by Iran. It will be able to put a satellite weighing  into a  LEO. This is twice the payload that the Qased rocket can lift while the two rockets weigh the same.

The first stage is the Rafe motor that successfully passed its static ground test in January 2022. Rafe is able to produce  of thrust. It uses gimballed thrust vector control (TVC) for steering and has a carbon-fiber composite filament-wound casing, which reduces weight compared to traditional casing.  it utilizes Vahab motor as its third stage.
