Simon Court. Simon Thomas Court is a New Zealand politician. He has been a Member of Parliament for ACT New Zealand since the 2020 general election.

Early life and career
Court went to Auckland Grammar School and then attended Unitec to study civil engineering. At age 17, he was shot in the foot; Court said that this was after a cannabis deal his friend made went badly.

Court has public and private sector experience and worked in Auckland, Wellington and Fiji. For Auckland City Council, he worked as a civil and environmental engineer, and before entering parliament, he was running his own engineering firm.

In 2016 and 2017, Court worked for engineering consultancy MWH Global in Fiji. The consultancy lost its contract with the Fiji Roads Authority on alleged pay disputes, and Court and one other employee were deported from Fiji. According to Court, the deportation was in response to him speaking out about Chinese Communist Party contractors' workmanship. Fiji Roads Authority reportedly "accused MWH of extortion, breaking contract, and damaging the country", but Court disputed this, saying he did not see any evidence of that.

Political career

Court stated in 2020 that he had supported the ACT Party for just over two decades, but also that he had voted Green twice. He joined ACT after going to a party event in December 2019.

In the 2020 general election, Court was placed 5th on the ACT party list and ran for the electorate of . He did not win the electorate, coming fourth with 1610 votes, but ACT won 7.6% of the party vote, which entitled it to 10 MPs, including Court. In his first term, he was ACT's spokesperson for the environment, climate change, infrastructure, transport, local government, and energy and resources. He was also a member of the Environment Committee.

On 20 June 2023, Court was referred to Parliament's Privileges Committee after he disclosed the Environment Committee's vote relating to the Natural and Built Environment Act 2023. On 26 July, the Privileges Committee found that Court had committed a "clear breach" of select committee confidentiality. Court apologised for his action and the committee recommended that no further action be taken against him.

Court contested Te Atatū for a second time at the 2023 general election. He was unsuccessful, but retained his position as an ACT party list MP.

Following the formation of the National-led coalition government in late November 2023, Court assumed the position of Parliamentary Under-Secretary for the Minister for Infrastructure and RMA reform.

Personal life
Court has three teenage sons, the youngest of whom has Down syndrome. He cites his youngest son as one of the main reasons for entering Parliament.

Faure Electric Accumulator Company. The Faure Electric Accumulator Company (FEAC) was a company founded in 1881 in London to supply electric batteries suitable for lighting and other purposes. It took its name from the French chemical engineer Camille Alphonse Faure. Lord Kelvin wrote a favourable review for Faure's new battery design that appeared in The Times. However he did not play a formal role in the company.

Despite Lord Kelvin's optimism, various shortcomings in Faure design became apparent. In particular the lead paste applied to the lead plate in Faure's design became unstuck. Soon a revised version, the Faure-Sellon-Volckmar accumulator was considered an improvement. However this created a problem as regards the management of patents. Almost immediately the Electrical Power Storage Company (EPS) was founded in 1882 and threatened the FEAC with a lawsuit over the patents. By 1883 EPS had acquired the relevant patents and became the first manufacturer of electric batteries in the world.

Tenable, Inc.. Tenable Holdings, Inc. is a cybersecurity company based in Columbia, Maryland. Its vulnerability scanner software Nessus, developed in 1998, is one of the most widely deployed vulnerability assessment solutions in the cybersecurity industry. As of December 31, 2023, the company had approximately 44,000 customers, including 65% of the Fortune 500.

History 
Tenable was founded in September 2002 as Tenable Network Security, Inc. by Ron Gula, Jack Huffard, and Renaud Deraison. In April 1998, at age 17, Deraison had created the Nessus vulnerability scanner software, which he folded into Tenable upon creation of the company. In 2002, Gula, who worked for the National Security Agency in the 1990s, sold a company he founded to Enterasys Networks and was looking to start another company. In 2004, Marcus J. Ranum was hired as chief security officer. In October 2005, to generate income for the company and to stop empowering competition, Nessus became proprietary software, rather than open-source software via the GNU General Public License. At that time, the software was forked; OpenVAS became the open-source software version of the program.

In September 2012, Tenable received $50 million in series A round funding from Accel Partners. Also that month, the company entered into a partnership to provide cybersecurity services for the United States Intelligence Community, partnering with In-Q-Tel. In 2015, Tenable received $250 million in a series B round led by Insight Partners. In 2016, Gula resigned as CEO, becoming chairman. Effective January 2017, Amit Yoran became CEO of the company and later that year, the company was renamed Tenable, Inc. In July 2018, the company became a public company via an initial public offering.

In October 2022, the company launched Tenable One, an exposure management platform. In January 2023, the company launched a venture capital division, with plans to invest up to $25 million.

In December 2024, Yoran took a medical leave after a cancer diagnosis and CFO Stephen Vintz and COO Mark Thurmond were appointed interim co-CEOs; Yoran died in January 2025. Art Coviello was named chairman.

Lippisch Delta VI. The Lippisch Delta VI was a proposed single-seat, twin-jet experimental delta flying wing aircraft begun in 1943 by German designer Alexander Lippisch, as the developed version of the P.11 bomber project begun while he was still working for Messerschmitt in 1942. The only prototype was destroyed in June 1944 while still under construction.

Design and development

P.11 bomber for Messerschmitt
During 1942, while still working on the Messerschmitt Me 163 rocket fighter, Alexander Lippisch conceived a larger but similarly tailless bomber with twin jet engines buried in a thick wing, designated P.11.

P.11 flying-wing fighter
Following his departure for his own independent design office near Vienna in Austria, Lippisch returned to the P.11 and radically revised it. The fuselage shrank to a short forward cockpit nacelle. The engines were placed quite close together inside the wing, with intakes in the roots and the otherwise straight trailing edge cut back for the exhausts. The wing planform was a cropped delta of moderate sweep. Small twin fins were located either side of the trailing edge cutback. Construction of a full-scale mock-up began in 1943.

Delta VI
By the time work on an experimental prototype was begun, the project had become the Delta VI. Around this time Lippisch conceived of a "power wing", a hollow monocoque shell whose interior formed the internal duct of the main powerplant. He initially intended the Delta VI to have such a wing construction, but later drawings suggest that this was too difficult to realise under the prevailing war conditions.

On 16 and 24 June 1944 the USAF bombed Vienna, destroying the factory where prototype V1 was under construction and killing over forty of his co-workers. The prototype was moved to a new site but could not be completed before the Russian arrival in Vienna caused Lippisch and his colleagues to flee.

Lippisch went on to further develop the power wing concept in his P.12 and P.13a and b projects.

Stiff Box 12. Stiff Box 12 is a public artwork by Lucas Samaras, installed in a courtyard at the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA).

Background 
Samaras created the piece in 1971, and UMMA acquired it in 1997. Previously, it was on display in the White House gardens, while on loan from the Guggenheim Museum.

In 1982, Norman Parkinson shot a photo of model Iman by the sculpture in Palm Beach, Florida.

Description 
The piece is made of Cor-Ten steel, and it is 75 inches tall, 56 inches wide, and 15 inches deep.

UMMA describes the piece as follows:Made of thick steel, this sculpture has two very distinct halves. One on side, the thick sheet of steel gracefully curves around and back on itself, making loops and rounded edges. On the reverse, the steel is angular, jagged, and sharp, jutting into the spaces in the sculpture's interior and the space around the whole. At the very center of the piece, along the implied dividing line between the two sides, is a relatively small box.Albert Hofammann, writing for the Morning Call in 1984, wrote of the sculpture, "The work has an enormous physical weight, but its mass viewed in aesthetic terms is not clumsy for several reasons: The depth is only 14 inches, thus providing a two- dimensional effect, and the configurations are as much concerned with open space as with solid mass."

Thomas E. Mcevilley noted in Sculpture in the Age of Doubt that the piece has a "lightninglike and dragonlike support . . . a delicate balancing that would be unbalanced by removing from or adding anything to the box itself."
