Attalia 32. The Attalia 32, or just Attalia, is a French sailboat that was designed by the Joubert-Nivelt design firm as a cruiser and first built in 1982.

The boat was based on the 1981 International Offshore Rule Half Ton class world champion, named Air Bigouden.

Production
The design was built by Jeanneau in France, from 1982 until 1988 with 871 boats completed, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Attalia 32 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of solid polyester fiberglass with a balsa-cored deck and teak wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, with a deck-stepped mast, a single set of unswept spreaders and aluminum spars with continuous stainless steel wire rigging. The hull has a raked stem, a reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel, or optional stub keel and swing keel combination.

The fixed keel version displaces  and carries  of cast iron ballast, while the swing keel version displaces  and carries  of cast iron exterior ballast, with a steel swing keel.

The fixed keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of , while the swing keel-equipped version has a draft of  with the keel extended and  with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water.

The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo Penta  diesel engine of  for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds  and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, an L-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, a  ice box and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the navigation station on the starboard side and includes a shower. Cabin headroom is .

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of .

The design has a hull speed of .

Operational history
Although designed for cruising, the boat has been quite successfully raced in PHRF competition.

In a 2002 review in Sailing Magazine, John Kretschmer wrote, "the Jeanneau Attalia is surprising boat. Because it hovers just off the radar screen for most U.S. sailors, it is an excellent value. The Attalia delivers comfort, performance and quality construction at a most affordable price."

UPt3. {{DISPLAYTITLE:UPt3}}

UPt3 is an inorganic binary intermetallic crystalline compound of platinum and uranium.

Production 
It can be synthesised in the following ways:
 as an intermetallic compound, by direct fusion of pure components according to stoichiometric calculations:

 

 by reduction of uranium dioxide with hydrogen in the presence of platinum:

Physical properties 
UPt3 forms crystals of hexagonal symmetry (some studies hypothesize a trigonal structure instead), space group P63/mmc, cell parameters a = 0.5766 nm and c = 0.4898 nm (c should be understood as distance from planes), with a structure similar to nisnite (Ni3Sn) and MgCd3.

The compound congruently melts at 1700 °C. The enthalpy of formation of the compound is -111 kJ/mol.

At temperatures below 1 K it becomes superconducting, thought to be due to the presence of heavy fermions (the uranium atoms).

Costruzione Italiana Macchine Attrezzi. Costruzione Italiana Macchine Attrezzi (CIMA, "Italian Machine Tool Company") is a gear, powertrain, and transmission manufacturer based in Bologna, Italy.

CIMA was founded in 1942 as a manufacturer of gear machining equipment before producing its own gears in 1946. Beginning in the 1950s CIMA supplied gears for automobile and motorcycle racing applications, including Scuderia Ferrari, Porsche, Harley-Davidson, Minarelli, and Honda. In 1980 what is now the  purchased CIMA, who went on to expand the into more machinery markets as well as marine applications. In the 1990s, CIMA expanded its reach to the aeronautical industry and found more success in racing. After advancing their low pressure vacuum carburizing and gas quenching methods in 2002, CIMA developed even higher performance transmissions for road and race applications. Their transaxles are found in many low volume supercars.

Prairie Aviation Museum. The Prairie Aviation Museum is an aviation museum located at Central Illinois Regional Airport in Bloomington, Illinois.

History 
In 1982, a group of aviation enthusiasts led by Norm Wingler established the Gooney Bird Chapter of the Heritage in Flight Museum with the goal of acquiring and restoring a Douglas DC-3. However, due to legal and financial concerns the chapter decided to form the independent Prairie Aviation Museum in 1983. The following year, the museum purchased a Douglas C-53 Skytrooper at an auction in Rockdale, Texas and flew it back to Indiana. To complement the new acquisition, construction began on a  building in 1988.

The museum opened a new exhibit featuring oral history interviews with World War II veterans in 1995.

The museum's C-53 was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. The historic designation was intended to help the museum qualify for funds that could be used to construct a new building.

The museum opened a Challenger Learning Center in the former airport terminal in 2003, but was forced to transfer operations to the Heartland Community College due to a financial shortfall. Further complications ensued and in 2009 the museum was forced to sell its DC-3, as it could no longer afford to maintain it in airworthy condition. The museum again began developing a focus on space in 2010 and as part of this effort renovated the building in 2015.

Exhibits 
Exhibits at the museum include an airport beacon and a Link Trainer.

Linda Zhang. Linda Zhang is an automotive engineer. She is currently the chief engineer for the Ford F-150 Lightning all-electric pickup truck.

Early life and education 

Zhang's family immigrated to the United States when she was eight years old. She cites her father's work as a researcher for Ford as inspiration for her later career.

Zhang majored in electrical engineering at the University of Michigan, graduating in 1996. In 1998 she earned an MBA from the University of Michigan, followed by a master's degree in 2011 in computer engineering also from the University of Michigan.

Career 

Zhang began her career at Ford in 1996 at the age of 19. As an electrical engineer, Zhang worked on the Ford Explorer and the Ford Escape, as well as powertrains for multiple Ford models. Zhang was part of Ford's research and strategy into an all-electric vehicle. In September 2018, she became the chief engineer for Ford's all-electric pickup truck, the F-150 Lightning. Zhang focused on both the engineering challenges and the strategic challenges in building an electric truck that can compete with a gasoline powered engine, saying: "There was a lot of skepticism around whether EV trucks can really be tough." President Biden took a test drive of the Lightning in May 2021, stating that he was impressed with the truck and Zhang's work. The truck was launched in May 2021.

Honors and recognition 

 2021, named a Rising Star by Automotive News
 2021, featured on the November cover of Time Magazine for her work on the F-150 Lightning
 2022, named one of USA Today's Women of the Year, which recognizes women who have made a significant impact
