Sa'ar 6-class corvette. The Sa'ar 6-class corvette is a series of four German-made corvettes ordered for the Israeli Navy in May 2015. These are operated by Shayetet 3 flotilla.

Development 
The ships' design is loosely based on the German , but with engineering changes to accommodate Israeli-built sensors and missiles such as the Barak 8  and the naval Iron Dome system. Elbit Systems has been awarded the contract to design and build the electronic warfare (EW) suites for the ships.

All four vessels were constructed in Germany in a joint project by German Naval Yards Holdings and ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS). The first of the class was scheduled to be delivered in 2020. Construction cost was estimated at NIS 1.8 billion Israeli new shekel (NIS) or roughly 430 million Euros ($480 million). Israel will pay for two thirds of the cost and the German Government will subsidize a third of the corvettes' construction costs, as with the s.

Missions 
The Lebanese Hezbollah group alleges that Israel's gas fields lie in Lebanese waters. It has threatened to target Israeli gas platforms. An Israeli-owned ship reportedly came under missile fire repeatedly near the United Arab Emirates. The ship was en route to the UAE from Kuwait, according to Channel 12 news.

The Sa'ar 6 has been adopted for maritime protection, anti-shipping and prevent threats in the Israeli exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The Sa'ar 6 is also used to defend Israeli shipping lanes in the Mediterranean to import more than 90 percent of goods for Israel. One of their roles will be to protect natural gas platforms in the Mediterranean Sea against possible seaborne terrorism attacks or rocket threats.

Characteristics 
The Sa'ar 6 has a displacement of almost 1,900 tons at full load and is  long. It is armed with an Oto Melara 76 mm main gun, two Typhoon Weapon Stations, 32 vertical launch cells for Barak-8 surface-to-air missiles, 40 cells for the C-Dome point defense system, 16 anti-ship missiles Gabriel V, the EL/M-2248 MF-STAR AESA radar, and two  torpedo launchers.  It has hangar space and a platform able to accommodate a medium class SH-60-type helicopter.

Israel received the first of four Sa'ar 6-class corvettes, , on 11 December 2020;  Thyssen Krupp Marine Systems officially handed over the second corvette, , on 4 May 2021. On July 27, 2021, the final two ships, INS Atzmaut and INS Nitzachon, were also delivered to the Israeli Navy by the builder.  They were to be equipped with radar and weapon systems by the Israeli Navy after their arrival in Israel. In Haifa in September 2022, the vessel's 76/62 rapid-fire main gun was ceremonially accepted for the first two ships of the class.

Archibald Russell (ship). Archibald Russell was a tall ship built in 1905 by Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company, Greenock, for John Hardie & Son, Glasgow. She was a four-masted steel barque, equipped with two 120' long bilge keels, and rigged with royal sails over double top-gallant sails.

The Archibald Russell sailed the world delivering a variety of cargo (including timber, grain, nitrate, and coal) to various ports in the UK, Germany, Spain, Australia, Brazil and other countries.

In 1923 she was sold for £5500 to Gustaf Erikson, who was famous for the fleet of windjammers he operated, mainly on the grain trade from Australia to Europe. A crewman on the vessel in 1929 was Australian journalist Ken Attiwill on a voyage from Melbourne to Ireland. He later wrote a book about the voyage. The ship kept sailing for Erikson until outbreak of World War II in 1939.

At one point prior to the outbreak of war in 1939 the Honourable Company of Master Mariners considered purchasing the ship to use as a floating livery hall, after it became apparent that the possibility of building a hall in the City of London had been rendered very remote. This idea was ultimately abandoned; however they later acquired and converted HMS Wellington to use for this purpose.

In June 1941 Archibald Russell was detained by the British government, after Finland joined the war on the German side. During the rest of the war, the ship was used as a store ship at Goole. After the war the ship was returned to its Finnish owner (in 1948), but soon after was sold to the British Iron & Steel Corporation in 1949, and broken up later that year by J.J. King & Co., of Gateshead-on-Tyne.

T26 (trimaran). T26 was a trimaran sailboat designed by Victor Tchetchet in the very late 1940s or early in 1950. It was the predecessor to his later craft Egg Nog.

T26 was entered into the 1950 One of a Kind Series and placed 21st.

The vessel could reach faster than all other boats on days with moderate to heavy wind, attaining speeds of up to 15 knots (equivalent to  per hour), but could not go to weather even as well as monohull vessels. The design was enhanced for Tchetchet's subsequent vessel Egg Nog.

Andrea Hasler. Andrea Hasler (born 1975) is from Zürich, Switzerland, and creates sculptures that look like they were made with meat.

Education and personal life 
Hasler received her MFA from Chelsea College of Art and Design in London, UK in 2002 and currently lives and works in London, UK.

Work 
Hasler's works typically use wax, or wax-covered resin, to create a wide range of objects that appear to be made from meat, simulating objects such as purses and tents. Hasler's wax and mixed media sculptures are characterized by a tension between attraction and repulsion, and highly influenced by artists John Isaacs, Berlinde De Bruyckere and Louise Bourgeois. Her 2013 solo exhibition Burdens of Excess re-fashioned high-end designer accessories into bulging globs of pink wax studded with brand-name zipper pulls, insignias, straps and handles.

Exhibits and awards 
In 2014, Hasler won the Greenham Common Commission and created a new work, The Matriarch, that took Greenham Common’s history as a starting point, focusing on the Women’s Peace Camp. This work was filmed by BBC for The Culture Show. Hasler also participated in the 3-D Foundation Artist Residency in the mountain town of Verbier, Switzerland creating two site-specific sculptures for the exhibition Mutations: Contemporary Sculpture in Context, curated by Paul Goodwin.

Hasler's solo exhibitions include New Greenham Arts, Newbury, UK; GUSFORD, Los Angeles, CA; Next Level Projects, London, UK; and Artrepco Gallery, Zürich, Switzerland. Her work was also featured in the 2014 book The Language of Mixed-Media Sculpture by Jac Scott.

Huntwing. The Huntwing is a British ultralight trike that was designed by John Hunt of Clydach, Monmouthshire. The aircraft is supplied in the form of plans for amateur construction.

Design and development
The Huntwing was designed to comply with the British BCAR Section S microlight category. It was first flown in 1982 and introduced commercially in 1992. It features a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit with a cockpit fairing, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in pusher configuration.

The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminium tubing, with its 75% double surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. The  span wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost, uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar, has a nose angle of 121°, 24 top and six bottom battens and has a wing area of . The acceptable power range is  and the standard powerplants used include the twin cylinder, liquid-cooled, two-stroke  Rotax 462 snowmobile engine, the twin cylinder, air-cooled, two-stroke  Rotax 503 aircraft engine and the twin cylinder, liquid-cooled, two-stroke, dual-ignition  Rotax 582 powerplant. The BMW R100RS four-stroke motorcycle engine can also be fitted.

The plans wing is built by the amateur-builder and fitted with a Top Flight Sails sail. Alternatively a Mainair Blade wing can be used.

The manufacturer estimates the construction time from the supplied plans as 500 hours.

Operational history
The designers says that 10 sets of plans have been shipped and about 20 aircraft completed and flown.

In May 2015 eleven examples were registered in the United Kingdom with the Civil Aviation Authority.

Suckless.org. suckless.org is a free software community of programmers working on projects with a focus on minimalism, simplicity, clarity, and frugality. The group developed the dwm and wmii window managers, surf, tabbed, and other programs that are said to adhere strictly to the Unix philosophy of "doing one thing and doing it well". The development team follows the "Worse is better" principle and adheres to the KISS principle ("Keep it simple, stupid").

History
The suckless community was founded by Anselm R. Garbe in 2006. He became a vocal proponent of the suckless philosophy, saying that "a lot [of what] went wrong in the IT industry recently [...] be recognized in order to rethink the common practice, and perhaps to think about the time when Moore's law stops being a valid assumption." The suckless manifesto deplores the common tendency for "complex, error-prone and slow software [that] seems to be prevalent in the present-day software industry", and argues that a programmer's performance should not be measured by the number of lines of code they write.

In October 2006, Garbe registered the domain suckless.org to replace 10kloc.org and wmii.de.

In 2007, Garbe called for the need for a "Plan 9 lover's and C hacker Ubuntu" which comes packed with dwm/wmii and all necessary tools for developing C code and suggested calling it 9ubuntu. Suckless later developed stali (static Linux), an operating system with statically linked executables that adheres to the suckless principles.

Projects
 dwm – window manager
 dmenu – keyboard-driven menu utility
 ii – IRC client
 sbase – UNIX core utilities
 surf – web browser
 wmii – window manager
 st – lightweight, 256 colour-enabled (with 24-bit colour support) terminal emulator
 stali – static Linux distribution

Conferences
Starting in 2013 the suckless.org community organizes annual conferences and hackathon gatherings focusing on technical topics and socializing with community members, commonly referred to as "SLCon" (short for "SuckLess Conference").

suckless.org e.V.
In 2015 the legal entity suckless.org e.V. was founded during the suckless conference. Its aim and main purpose is supporting the projects of suckless.org and open source in general.

JNR Class DD14. The  was a B'B' wheel arrangement diesel-hydraulic locomotive type operated in Japan as a self-propelled rotary snowplough unit from 1961 to 2015 by the national railway company Japanese National Railways (JNR), and later by East Japan Railway Company (JR East). West Japan Railway Company (JR West), and Hokkaido Railway Company (JR Hokkaido).

Design
Based on the earlier Class DD13 6th-batch locomotives, the Class DD14 was a single-end-cab design with a rotary snowplough unit at the cab end. It was the first diesel-powered rotary snowplough built by JNR. The locomotives had two  diesel engines. One engine could be used for propulsion with the other driving the rotary snowplough unit, giving a snow-clearing capacity of approximately 3,000 tonnes per hour, or the unit could be operated in multiple with a second locomotive allowing both engines to drive the rotary snowplough, giving a snow-clearing capacity of approximately 4,000 tonnes per hour.

Variants
 DD14-0: 8 locomotives built between 1961 and 1965 by Kisha Seizō
 DD14-300: 35 locomotives built between 1966 and 1979 by Kisha Seizō and Kawasaki Heavy Industries

History
By 2005, only nine locomotives remained in service, all operated by JR East. The last remaining locomotives in service, DD14 327 and 332, based at JR East's Nagaoka Depot, made their final run on 24 February 2014.
