Tavanasa Bridge. Tavanasa Bridge, also known as Vorderrheinbrücke, Tavanasa is the name of the two reinforced concrete three hinged arch bridges designed by Swiss civil engineer Robert Maillart. The first of these was constructed in 1904, but later destroyed by an avalanche. The second, constructed in 1928 stands to this day.

History 

The previous bridge of 1904, saw a development in Maillart's own treatment of the arch. This bridge was a three-hinged reinforced concrete hollow box girder arch bridge, and unlike Maillart's previous bridge at Zuoz, saw the removal of the horizontal members of the box girder near the supports, which had experienced cracking. The replacement of the destroyed bridge however, became a high arch bridge, with the insistence of the canton. Maillart's later Salginatobel Bridge re-uses a similar form.

Zuoz Bridge. The Zuoz Bridge, also known as Innbrücke Zuoz is a three hinged reinforced concrete box girder hinged arch bridge designed by Swiss civil engineer Robert Maillart, and is the first box girder bridge to be constructed out of reinforced concrete. Constructed in 1901, this was the first of his independently designed reinforced concrete arch bridges.

Design 

With reinforced concrete construction still being relatively new at the time, it was standard practice to imitate the forms of masonry construction both structurally and visually. As such, on his previous Stauffacher Bridge in Zürich, architect Gustav Gull designed the concrete arch to be hidden behind a masonry facade. Rather than parting with this non-structural form entirely, Maillart integrated an outer wall of concrete into the Zuoz Bridge, such that the arch increased in depth and the overall stiffness of the structure increased.

Although there was no mathematical approach for proving the structural viability of Maillart's design, Wilhelm Ritter, the cantons consultant suggested that the project go ahead after subjecting it to a full scale load test. Testing revealed acceptable minor cracking, which throughout the structure's life increased, such that on his following 1904 design for the Tavanasa Bridge, Maillart removed those segments of the wall subject to cracking.

Omskiy type ship. The Project 1743 Omskiy type ships are a class of large dry cargo ships built from 1972 until 1995 in the Soviet Union, Russian Federation, and Romania.

Description 
Omskiy type ships are around  long with a beam of . They have a draft of  and a displacement of roughly . They are big dry cargo ships with four covered holds, as well as a double bottom and sides. Omskiy type ships are powered by two diesel engines with 515 kW of power each.

There are three types of Omskiy type ships: Project 1743, Project 1743.1, and Project 1743.7. Project 1743 are the original cargo ships, while the 1743.1 and 1743.7 variants are modernized subclasses. The 1743.1 ships have a different interior of the superstructure as well as the placement of the two funnels and the form of the stern. The 1743.7 ships are longer and have two cranes for loading and unloading.

History 
Omskiy type ships were built in the Soviet Union and then Russia from 1972 until 1995, and in Romania from 1977 until 1991. The Project 1743.1 and 1743.7 were all built in the 1990s- with modernized equipment for river-sea operations. Around 140 ships were built in total, with 108 from Project 1743, 26 from Project 1743.1, and 7 from Project 1743.7.

Most of the ships were designed for use in the Lena and Ob-Irtysh river basins, and some were named after Siberian towns. A few ships were delivered to the Yenisey and Amur river basins, or to Europe. In the 1990s, most of the ships were transferred out of Russia to Europe or East Asia, and some were sold to foreign shipping lines to take on more convenient flags.

Unhuman Sacrifice. "Unhuman Sacrifice" is a short story by the American writer Katherine MacLean. It was first published in Astounding Science Fiction in November 1958, and has appeared in several anthologies.

In the story, a space ship brings a missionary and skeptical crew members to an alien planet; they get to understand unexpected features of the inhabitants' lives.

Story summary
The space ship of a missionary society has landed on a planet, and the Reverend Winton is preaching to the natives, by means of a translator machine. Henderson, who is the navigator and chief engineer, and Charlie, the junior engineer, are scornful. Henderson thinks it is dangerous to interfere with the inhabitants, and that the machine does not yet know their language. The natives regard the box (the translator), which says a few disjointed words in their language, with curiosity.

To improve the translator's understanding of the language, Henderson and Charlie interview the natives, such as Spet, who talks politely to his interviewer, thinking he is the ghost of a relative. Spet later tells Winton, using the improved power of the translator, that when the rains come, young people like himself, in order to become adults, must hang upside down; some die, and the rest become long and thin. (Parts of the story are seen from Spet's point of view; he regards the coming ordeal with calm acceptance.) Winton, appalled, tells Henderson that they should stop the practice, but Henderson, assuming that Winton is always wrong, disagrees. Henderson is shocked when Spet describes the procedure to him.

The rains come and Spet has been hung upside down from a tree by the elders. He is cut down by Henderson and Charlie, and is taken to the ship, which is in a riverbed that until now was dry. Near the ramp of the ship. as the water rises, Spet "felt his feet sending roots down into the mud.... As the water rushed into his lungs, the rooted sea-creature that was the forgotten adult stage of Spet's species began its thoughtless pseudo-plant existence...."

Reception
In New Maps of Hell: A Survey of Science Fiction (1960), Kingsley Amis commented: "I take this, not too fancifully I hope, as a justifiably horrifying little allegory of what you can do to people when you interfere with them for their own good.... [A] satire on organised religion, such as the story patently is, has its own place."

It was included in the anthology A Century of Science Fiction (1962), editied by Damon Knight; in his introduction to the story, Knight wrote that it is "a subtle interweaving of anthropology, social comment, depth psychology, irony, deadpan humor....What the whole story means is not expressible in a formula or a plot outline: it hits you below the level on which simple declarative sentences are put together".

Robot 17. Robot 17 (Robotsystem 17) is a Swedish anti-ship missile based on the American AGM-114C Hellfire, further developed by Bofors to work against sea targets and be transported and fired on land.

The system is used by Swedish Amphibious Corps (Amfibiekåren), which uses high-speed boats to transport it between land and islands, after which disembarked soldiers can then quickly position the system and make it ready to fire.  By creating a moving and unpredictable threat from anti-ship missiles along the Swedish coast, the Swedish Armed Forces intends to "make it more difficult for an opponent to enter ships in the Swedish archipelago or ports".

In June 2022, Sweden publicly stated their intent to assist Ukraine against Russia's invasion of Ukraine by sending a number of Robot 17. In October 2022, evidence appeared on social media suggesting that Ukrainian Ground Forces had started using the weapons in an ad-hoc land attack role.

Welding Shipyards. Welding Shipyards was founded by American shipping businessman, Daniel K. Ludwig (1897–1992) in 1940 at Norfolk, Virginia on the Sewell's Point peninsula. Welding Shipyards build T3 tanker ships for World War II under the Emergency Shipbuilding Program. Welding Shipyards had one construction berth with 600 workers. The shipyard built what Ludwig was known for Oil tankers. Welding Shipyards built five type T3-S-BF1 tankers, the largest at the time. Ludwig' Welding Shipyards used what is called block construction. To shorten keel to ship launching time due losses to German U-boats, block construction was used. Ships blocks were built as the keel was being laid and then the prefabricated parts were then put in place and welded. With this construction time was reduced dramatically. Welding Shipyards and Ludwig had an important role in this new type of construction.
All of the tanker ships were operated by Ludwig's shipping company that he founded, the National Bulk Carriers in 1936 in New York. National Bulk Carriers owned and operated oil tanker ships and bulk carriers. Some of the ships were among the largest in the world at that time. In 1953 Ludwig moved the shipyard operated to the Kure shipyard in Japan. Ludwig leased the Japanese navy Kure yard for 10 years (1950 to 1960). The Welding Shipyards site today is part of the Naval Station Norfolk.  In 1940 and early 1941, Welding Shipyards converted older World War I surplus cargo ships into oil tankers.

T3-S-BF1
T3-S-BF1 had a crew of 50 civilians and 31 United States Navy Armed Guard to man the deck guns and radio. Ships armament had: 1 × 5-inch gun, 1 × 3-inch/50-caliber gun and Oerlikon 20 mm cannon.  T3-S-BF1 had two steam turbines, a single screw with 7,700 shp, top speed of 14 kn (26 km/h), was 515.9 feet long with a beam of 70 feet, was 11,016 tons and held up to 140,000 bbl.

The T3-S-BZ1
The first T3-S-BZ1, SS Phoenix  was constructed in just 76 days keel to launching and 24 days to completion. The ships were 556 feet long, 80 foot beam, 14,160 gross tonnage, deadweight capacity 23,600 tons and with a barrel capacity off 217,000. T3-S-BZ1 had high pressure turbines with double reduction gears for 13,400 shp, to a single propeller with a top speed of 17 knots.

Notable incident
 USS Pan Pennsylvania, a Type T3-S-BF1 tanker, on 16 April 1944 was sunk off Nantucket by a torpedo from U-boat  commanded by Klaus Hänert. Pan-Pennsylvania was steaming from New York Harbor on the afternoon of 15 April 1944 as part of convoy CU-21, going to England with  of 80-octane aviation fuel. She had a crew of 50 men and 31 members of the Naval Armed Guard. The 28 merchant ships of CU-21 were accompanied by Escort Flotilla 21.5, which consisted of six destroyer escorts.
