Cook Musfly. The Musfly was a British two-seat human-powered tailless aircraft built by David Cook in the 1970s.

Background 

Intended to win the Kremer prize, the Musfly was designed by David Cook and Neil Moran, who at the time were employees at Richard Garrett & Sons, at Leiston, in Suffolk.  The aircraft was a wire-braced high-wing tailless monoplane.  The wing planform was made up of a central constant-chord swept wing, with anhedral wing-tips. "Draggons" (upward deflecting ailerons) fitted to the wing-tips would provide lateral and directional control. Pitch control would be by weight shift, with the crewed capsule, suspended beneath the wing, being moved back and forth. 

In the capsule, the two-person crew would operate treadles in order to power a pusher propeller, which was to be positioned slightly below and behind the wing. The pilot would operate leg treadles, while the second crew member would use both arm and leg treadles. It was believed this arrangement would generate more power, with longer power strokes, than would be possible with a conventional pedal arrangement. Moran believed that the Musfly would fly with the crew generating 0.8 hp (0.6 kW). 

The aircraft was built by Cook, with assistance from co-designer Moran, Chris Tansley, Terry Aspinall, Bob Jelliff, Brian Pattenden, and others, with the primary airframe being completed by September 1977.  Work on the aircraft continued till at least 1979, and was nearing completion when Cook lost use of the building that it was being housed in. That development prompted the end of the project, and the airframe was then scrapped.

StratEx Space Dive. On October 24, 2014, Alan Eustace broke the world record for the highest balloon flight and skydive of all time, releasing himself from a balloon at 135,908 feet.

Details  
In 2011, Eustace decided to pursue a stratosphere jump and met with Taber MacCallum, one of the founding members of Biosphere 2, to begin preparations for the project. Over the next three years, the Paragon Space Development technical team designed and redesigned many of the components of his parachute and life-support system. The Paragon team integrated systems for the Stratospheric Explorer mission code named StratEx Space Dive.

On October 24, 2014, Eustace made a jump from the stratosphere, breaking Felix Baumgartner's 2012 world record. The launch-point for his jump was from an abandoned runway in Roswell, New Mexico, where he began his gas balloon-powered ascent early that morning. He reached a reported maximum altitude of , but the final number submitted to the World Air Sports Federation was . The balloon used for the feat was a zero-pressure balloons manufactured by the Balloon Facility of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Hyderabad, India. Eustace in his pressure suit hung tethered under the balloon, without the kind of capsule used by Felix Baumgartner. Eustace started his fall by using an explosive device to separate from the helium balloon.

His descent to Earth lasted 4 minutes and 27 seconds and stretched nearly  with peak speeds exceeding , setting new world records for the highest free-fall jump and total free-fall distance . However, because Eustace's jump involved a drogue parachute, while Baumgartner's did not, their vertical speed and free-fall distance records remain in different categories.

Unlike Baumgartner, Eustace, a twin-engine jet pilot, was not widely known as a daredevil prior to his jump.

Eustace's world record jump was featured in two episodes of STEM in 30, a television show geared towards middle-school students by the National Air and Space Museum.

Brown's Canyon Bridge. The Brown's Canyon Bridge near Salida, Colorado, also known as Stone Bridge, is a concrete "slab and girder" road bridge across the Arkansas River built in 1908.

According to History Colorado, "The 1908 Brown’s Canyon Bridge is significant for its engineering as an intact early example of a reinforced concrete slab and girder bridge. With a design provided by the State Engineer’s Office, the completion of the bridge preceded the formal development of the highway commission in Colorado in 1909." Historians have talked about the work of Thomas Ehrhart, Chafee County commissioner and former state legislator who lobbied for the bridge on the state level. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.

It is approached by County Road 191 (CR 191) and originally brought Colorado State Primary Road 17 across the Arkansas River, connecting the mining town of Leadville to Salida and Buena Vista. It is now a link to private property. The use of CR 191 as the major north-south route in the Arkansas Valley, connecting Salida to Buena Vista, was replaced by State Highway 291 before 1963.

Architecture
It has two  spans and is  long. Its roadway is  wide. It is supported by a concrete center pier and two concrete end abutments.

Its design is credited to T.W. Jaycox, Colorado State Engineer, and it was built by the Pueblo Bridge Company.

It was documented in the Highway Bridges in Colorado multiple property submission, and although concrete slab and girder bridges are common in Colorado, the Brown's Canyon bridge and the Capulin Bridge in Conejos County are notable as the two oldest intact slab and girder bridges in the state.

The National Register nomination states, "The Highway Bridges in Colorado Multiple Property Documentation Form notes the bridge as the most architecturally sophisticated of the early reinforced concrete slab and girder bridges in Colorado. It exhibits curved springers, an articulated balustrade, and two dedication plaques."

Alkylated naphthalene. Alkylated naphthalenes are chemical compounds made by the alkylation of naphthalene or its derivatives with an olefin. These compounds are used as synthetic base oils, and are claimed to have improved oxidative stability over some conventional base oils. Having an aromatic core, alkylated naphthalenes are better at solvating polar compounds than alkane mineral oils and polyalphaolefins.

In the context of lubrication, alkylated naphthalenes are considered Group V base oils by the American Petroleum Institute. For 2020, demand for this class of base oil (that includes other types of Group V base oils) was estimated at 823,000 tonnes per year. Commercial examples of alkylated naphthalene oils include ExxonMobil's Synesstic series and King Industries' NA-LUBE KR series.

Production

Development 
During the post-production of The Dead Next Door in 1989, producer David DeCoteau offered J. R. Bookwalter a $15,000 budget to write and direct a film with the title Robot Ninja. DeCoteau served as an executive producer on Robot Ninja.

Filming 
Robot Ninja was shot in Ohio, in the townships of Springfield and Green, as well as in the cities of Kent and Cuyahoga Falls.

Reception 
In 2014, Felix Vasquez Jr. of Cinema Crazed wrote "As noted, most of the narrative is all over the place, with the movie showing its bottom of the barrel budget. In one scene, a truck speeding through a highway obviously is just being rocked back and forth by stage hands while the actors mimic driving. Robot Ninja is embarrassing D grade slop best suited for the bold and masochistic movie geek."

In 2019, Rocco T. Thompson of Rue Morgue gave the film a positive review, writing, "A cult film in the truest sense, Robot Ninja has been out-of-print since its initial run from Cinema Home Video, making it something of a rare gem to VHS aficionados, who helped keep its memory on life support despite its myriad presentational flaws." Thompson continues, "Robot Ninja is the real deal: a charmingly lowbrow cult actioner that sits perfectly in that delicious liminal space between postmodernism and excessive 80's earnestness that all those turbo kids and hobos with shotguns are trying so hard to emulate."

Release 
Robot Ninja was released on VHS in 1989 by Cinema Home Video and quickly went out of print. It has gone on to become a rare and valuable VHS cult title amongst media collectors.

In 2019, a 2K restoration of the film remastered from its original 16 mm negative was released on Blu-ray and DVD by Tempe Digital.

City Transformer. City Transformer is an Israeli electric vehicle company founded in 2014 by Dr. Asaf Formoza and Udi Meridor. 

City Transformer has 2 models: CT-1 – ready for production, and CT-2 – future model.

History 
In 2013 Dr. Formoza, Gidi Goldwine, and Erez Abramov developed a foldable car chassis design. This mechanism enabled them to create a two-seater urban electric micro vehicle that could change its width while driving, transforming from a width of 1.4 meters to a width of 1 meter. The wide mode is designated for open roads where the vehicle can reach a speed of 90 km/h and the narrow mode is designated for urban heavy traffic and for parking in narrow spaces. The founders then created a two-seater electric vehicle that changed its width while driving.

In 2014, the company was founded and automobile designer Eyal Kremer joined the company along with Johanne Tomforde.  In late 2017, the car concept was revealed at the Smart mobility Summit in Tel Aviv. The design has received various awards, including a gold medal in passenger vehicle design at the German Design Council in 2023.

The company received a grant of NIS 3.15 million ($900,000) from the Innovations authority of Israel, in conjunction with the Israel Prime Minister's Office's national program for fuel alternatives and smart mobility. The company's concept was revealed in 2017.

In 2020, the company was featured in Time’s "100 inventions for 2020".

In 2021, the company signed a deal to provide United Hatzalah emergency responders with vehicles that have the ability to contract to 1 meter for easy maneuvering in times of emergency. In 2022, the company entered a partnership with Bosch Software.

The company raised $20 million since inception, from private and corporate investors, including: Afifi Group, Lubinski Group, Matam Motors, Eitan Ben-Eliyahu, Barak Rosen and Eyal Chomsky.

City Transformers models

CT-1 and CT-2 
CT-1 is a two-seater foldable electric vehicle with dimensions of 250L/153H/140W cm while unfolded and 250L/143H/100W cm when folded. The model was introduced in August 2021. CT-1 is powered by two electric motors of 7.5 kW and weighs 450 kg without a battery and 590 kg with a battery.

In 2021, CT-1 made a debut at the Munich IAA mobility. In 2022, the CT-1 model participated in the 2022 Paris Motor Show.

The CT-2 model will be launched at the end of 2024. CT-2 model will have features such as a range of 180 km, a sunroof, smartphone connectivity, electric windows, AC, and heating.
