Thomas Login. Thomas Login  (1823–1874) was a Scottish civil engineer remembered for his road and canal works in India.

Life
He was born in Stromness in Orkney in 1823. He was orphaned at an early age but cared for by his older siblings.

He was apprenticed as a civil engineer in Dundee and went out to India in 1844, aged 19, to join his elder brother Dr John Login (later Sir John Login) resident surgeon n Lucknow. He received an appointment as an engineer in the Department of Public Works under Major General W. Baker. In 1847 he was sent to assist Sir Proby Cautley on the Ganges Canal project. He was in sole charge of works in the Roorkee area. This included resolution of the Rutmoo and Puttri rapids in the Hurdwar area. Login later moved to work in Burma but became ill in 1856 and had to return to Britain to convalesce. Returning to India in 1857 he became Executive Engineer of the Ganges-Darjeeling Road and the Roorkee-Dehra Road.

In 1857 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh his proposer being James Syme.

In 1864 Login moved to Sealkote and was involved in the creation of the Rechna Doab Canal. In 1865 he moved to Umballa as executive director of the upgrading of the Grand Trunk Road.

In 1868 he returned to Britain and worked on various waterway projects in the Norwich and Exeter areas.

In 1871 he returned to India via the newly opened Suez Canal and returned to Umballa as head engineer for roads north of Simla. Login caught a fever during this project and died in Sutlej on 5 June 1873. He was buried at Simla on the following day.

Hanriot H.25. The Hanriot H.25 was a French, single-engined, six passenger airliner built in 1926. Only one was flown.

Design and development

The Hanriot H.25 was a braced, high wing monoplane.  It had an all-metal structure, covered everywhere with fabric. Its wing was built in three parts, a central section fixed to the upper fuselage longerons and a pair of outer panels which were braced on each side by two sets of parallel paired, interconnected struts which ran from two well-separated positions on the wing spars to meet on the undercarriage structure. The wing was essentially rectangular in plan apart from slightly angled tops and had constant thickness. Narrow-chord ailerons filled well over half the trailing edge.

It was powered by a , eighteen cylinder Salmson 18 Cm. This was one of the last, and the most powerful, of Salmson's water-cooled radial engines, with two in-line rows of nine cylinders. It was enclosed in a rounded cowling with caps over the cylinder-heads. Fuel was held in the wing centre-section and two Lamblin radiators  were mounted on the undercarriage legs.  Behind the engine the fuselage was rectangular in section, defined by light-metal, U-section longerons and cross-frames. The open cockpit was at the wing leading edge, with small side-windows for a better view downwards.  Behind the cockpit the cabin seated six passengers, each with their own window. Entry was via a port-side door and there was a disposable emergency ceiling hatch to allow passengers to escape by parachute.

The horizontal tail was  mounted on top of the fuselage, braced from the lower fuselage longerons on each side with a pair of parallel struts. Its plan was similar to the wing and the elevators were split, with a cut-out for the deep, broad rudder. The tailplane angle of incidence could be trimmed in flight. The low area fin was broad but unusually low; its angle of incidence could only be adjusted on the ground. The H.28 had conventional, fixed, tailskid landing gear. Its mainwheels, half enclosed by individual semi-circular fairings, were on a single axle and rubber cord shock absorbers enclosed within a streamlined fairing mounted on the lower fuselage longerons by N-form struts and reinforced by the wing bracing struts. The undercarriage track was .

The date of the H.28's first flight is not known but by mid-May 1926 its development programme was underway at Villacoublay. No more independent reports on the type appear in the French journals and there is no evidence of a second example.

Eddie Marsden. Edwin Marsden (26 April 1913 – 30 August 1975) was a British trade unionist and communist activist.

Born in the Openshaw area of Manchester, Marsden trained as a draughtsman but instead became a steel erector.

In 1935, Marsden joined the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB), radicalised in opposition to the Italian invasion of Abyssinia.  He also joined the Constructional Engineering Union, serving as a site steward for more than thirty years.

In 1952, Marsden was elected to the executive of the union, representing North West England, and in 1962 he became the union's full-time organiser for the region, also representing the union on the executive of the Confederation of Shipbuilding and Engineering Unions.  Meanwhile, he became increasingly prominent in the CPGB, serving on its Lancashire and Cheshire District Committee, and standing unsuccessfully for the party in the 1963 Manchester Openshaw by-election, and again in the seat in the 1964 and 1966 general elections.  In 1968, he was elected to the party's Executive Committee.

Marsden was elected as general secretary of the union in 1968.  Three years later it became part of the Amalgamated Union of Engineering Workers, albeit remaining largely autonomous, with Marsden continuing as general secretary of the union's new Construction section.  This gave Marsden increased prominence in the trade union movement, and he was a prominent figure at meetings of the Trades Union Congress.

Marsden died in 1975, still in office.

Elysium Space. Elysium Space is a space burial company. Burial options the company offers are Earth-orbit and then reentry burnup, and delivery to the lunar surface.  The company was the first to offer burial on the Moon.

History
Elysium Space was founded by Thomas Civeit in 2013.

In 2015, a launch aboard a USAF Super Strypi rocket failed to reach orbit. The remains will be reflown in the second launch. The remains were to have orbited for 2 years before reentering and going out in a blaze.

It will offer a service to launch the ashes of dead people into space aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that will launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, United States. This rocket rideshare will launch ashes into a Sun-synchronous orbit about the Earth. The Earth orbiting ashes will eventually have its orbit decay and return to Earth as a shooting star.

Memorial spacecraft
Elysium Space launches the cremated remains aboard their Elysium Star space mausoleum satellites, a series of 1U cubesats. The Earth-orbiting satellites are designed to remain in space for 2 years before orbital decay brings them back to Earth as a shooting star, burning up in a blazing reentry.

Elysium Space plans to use Astrobotic's Peregrine lunar lander for their lunar mausoleums.

Elysium Space is in the early stages of planning for deep-space burials.

Makala (film). Makala is a 2017 French documentary film directed by Emmanuel Gras. It was screened in the Critics' Week section at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival. At Cannes, it won the Nespresso Grand Prize.

Synopsis
The story begins without explanation of what the young man, Kabwita, is planning to do. He walks through scattered scrub, and begins to cut down a tree. It seems to be a task too great for one man and his simple axe. Eventually the tree falls, he dismembers it, and builds a huge charcoal oven for it. Over time, the wood converts to charcoal and he loads it into several sacks, which he attaches to a bicycle and begins the journey to a nearby city, 50 km away, to sell it. He hopes to earn enough money to be able to buy roofing iron, so he can build a better house in the village of Kolwezi, for his family, who have been reduced to roasting rats for sustenance. One of his children has a stomach ailment. There are others on the road as he approaches the city, pushing the heavily loaded bicycle. Extortionate toll pirates take one of his sacks as payment to let him pass on the road, and in the city he finds his price is continually beaten down. He buys some medicine for his child, but at an exorbitant price. Eventually he has sold all the charcoal but the roofing iron he wants is too expensive. He cannot buy any of it. He goes to a religious meeting, where a pastor sings and the desperate participants seem to gain hope from the fervour, words and rhythms of the meeting.

Kelt 7.6. The Kelt 7.6 (or Kelt 7.60) is a French trailerable sailboat, that was designed by Jean Berret and first built in 1980.

The design was developed by Vandestadt and McGruer Limited into the Sirius 26 in 1987.

Production
The boat was built by Kelt Marine in France and also in Canada between 1980 and 1984, with a total of 489 examples completed, but it is now out of production.

Design

The Kelt 7.6 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a masthead sloop rig, a transom-hung rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces  and carries  of ballast.

The design has a draft of  with the standard keel fitted.

The boat is normally fitted with a small  outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder and is equipped with a two-burner stove, icebox and a 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. Cabin headroom is .

The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 216 with a high of 210 and low of 222. It has a hull speed of .

Operational history
In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "The Kelt 7.6 ... won the very prestigious "boat of the year" award at the 1980 Paris Boat Show. The Kelt successfully squeezed a lot of living space, including an aft head and a real chart table, in seaworthy and modern looking 25 footer. Because these boats were built in the mid-1980s, the Kelt is one of the newer 25 footer that can be found on the Canadian used market."

In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "best features: The Kelt wins the Space Index sweepstakes among her comp[etitor]s, bolstered by a combination of widest beam and relatively good headroom. Her small mainsail relative to her foretriangle, along with her low masthead, should make her easy to handle in heavy air despite her low D/L ratio. Worst features: None noted."

Wega 180. The Wega 180 is a Brazilian amateur-built aircraft designed and produced by Wega Aircraft (Wega Industria Aeronautica) of Palhoça, Santa Catarina, introduced at the Sun 'n Fun airshow in 2013. The aircraft is supplied as a kit for amateur construction or as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.

Design and development
The aircraft features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, retractable tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.

The aircraft is made from carbon fibre. Its  span wing employs an NFL (1)-0215F airfoil at the wing root transitioning to a Wortmann FX-62-K-131 at the wing tip. The wing has an area of  and mounts flaps. The wing is a separate structure and is attached to the fuselage with four bolts. The standard engines used are the  Superior XP-360 and the  Lycoming IO-360  four-stroke powerplants.

Operational history
Reviewers Roy Beisswenger and Marino Boric described the design in a 2015 review as "a modern, two-place, high-performance aircraft...[with] aerobatic features and claims a high 300 km/h (190-knot) cruise speed in a comfortable, ergonomic cabin...the aircraft's clean design, together with the retractable gear, helps Wega to reach a max airspeed of 350 km/h".

Andalucía Bridge (Córdoba). The Andalusia Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge. It crosses the Guadalquivir River in Córdoba, Spain, carrying a road which connects the airport and an industrial zone. Its opening was on 28 February 2004.

Description 
The bridge is 210 m (689 ft) long. It is operated by the public company GIASA (Management of Infrastructures in Andalusia).

The continuous delays in completion were caused by the fact that this bridge was considered an "almost artisanal bridge" built entirely in situ and without prefabricated elements. The complexity of its construction came from the singularity of the structure itself: it is the first cable-strayed bridge designed in Spain by the prestigious engineer Javier Manterola, National Engineering Award 2001. This project was also joined by Antonio Martínez Cutillas and Javier Muñoz Rojas and build by OHL, with José Miguel Pato as an engineer in charge. Additionally Ayesa took part in this project as technical assistant and so did Carlos Fernández Casado, S.L., both under the management of Jesús Bobo, Giasa.

The bridge has an approximate flow of 40.000 vehicles a day and it is connected with the freeway A4.

Technical characteristics

This bridge has a total length of 444 m (1457 ft), and a total 8 spans. The longer ones are the second from the shoreline, with a length of 114 m (374 ft) and the third of 90 m (295 ft). These spans are the ones placed over the Guadalquivir River. The transversal section is basically designed as a central coffin of prestressed concrete with three empty spaces on it of 10 m (32 ft) height and 2,5m (8,2 ft) wide, which makes a total section of almost 30m (96,8 ft) wide. In order to reach the length of the spans, the section is subjected by 9 tendons, which are anchored to the central coffin. These tendons act as a lateral tensed reinforcement for the cantilevers of the section.

The bridge is placed in a way it is connected to a circular shape of 10.000 m (32.800 ft) of a radius and then it is connected to an Euler spiral of a total length of 92,4m (303,15 ft).

The concrete used in the sections is the one with a resistance of 50Mpa, written as C50/60, according to the Eurocode-2.

Vulcanair V1.0. The Vulcanair V1.0 is an Italian light aircraft, designed and produced by Vulcanair of Casoria, introduced at the AERO Friedrichshafen show in 2014. The aircraft is type certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency and the US Federal Aviation Administration and is supplied complete and ready-to-fly.

The design is a derivation of the Partenavia P.64B Oscar.

Design and development
The V1.0 features a strut-braced rectangular planform high-wing, a four-seat enclosed cabin accessed by two front doors and one rear seat door on the right side, fixed tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in tractor configuration.

The aircraft forward fuselage is made from welded steel tubing, with the balance of the airframe of sheet aluminum construction. Its  span wing employs flaps. The standard engine used is the  Lycoming IO-360-M1A four-stroke fuel-injected powerplant.

The design greatly resembles the Cessna 172 and is intended to compete with that aircraft in performance and price. In July 2017, the company announced an equipped price  with a Garmin G500 avionics suite of US$259,000, to undercut the price of a new Cessna 172.

European Aviation Safety Agency certification was completed in November 2013 and the US Federal Aviation Administration certification in December 2017.
