Hexachlorodisiloxane. Hexachlorodisiloxane is a chemical compound composed of chlorine, silicon, and oxygen.  Structurally, it is the symmetrical ether of two trichlorosilyl groups, and can be synthesized via high-temperature oxidation of silicon tetrachloride: 2SiCl4{} + O2 ->[\atop{950-970\,^\circ\text{C}}] 2(SiCl3)2O{} + Cl2

At room temperature, it is a colorless liquid that hydrolyzes upon exposure to water to give silicon dioxide and hydrochloric acid: (SiCl3)2O + 3H2O -> 2SiO2 + 6HCl  Intense heat evinces a similar decomposition: 2(SiCl3)2O ->[\atop{\Delta}] SiO2{} + 3SiCl4

Reaction with antimony trifluoride gives the analogous hexafluorodisiloxane.

Chhapra–Hajipur Highway. Chhapra–Hajipur Highway  is an under-construction  road in Bihar. It is restored as part of old National Highway 19 (NH 19) and is planned between Chhapra and Hajipur in the first phase. The first phase is planned to be completed by June 2023. In the second phase, the road will be further extended to Patna. The project is executed by National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). NHAI has allotted the construction work to a concessionaire on the basis of build–operate–transfer (BOT). This is a four-lane road and will become part of Hajipur-Chhapra-Ghazipur four-lane Highway (NH 31). The need for this Chhapra-Hajipur highway connecting Chhapra divisional headquarters with the capital Patna has increased after the commissioning of J.P. Setu and Arrah–Chhapra Bridge. Along with this, the importance of this road has increased due to the construction of Sherpur-Dighwara Loknayak Ganga Path will increase

History
The ground work of four-laning of Hajipur to Chhapra-Methawalia (Manjhi) NH 19 started in the year 2009, but missed several deadlines due to land acquisition, court cases and lack of financial management by the concessionaire. The  stretch of road from Manjhi to Chhapra was completed in 2020–2021.

The construction of Hajipur-Chhapra NH-19 with a length of about 66.74 km started on January 27, 2011. The deadline for making it was set for 24 July 2013. The cost increased due to other complications including land acquisition. Its initial cost was around Rs 387 crore.

Extension
The extension of the highway from Hajipur to Patna, which is , is expected to be completed by September 2024. This extended portion includes a four-lane bridge parallel to Gandhi Setu. This portion is being constructed by Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Government of India.

Francisco Miralles (writer). Francisco Miralles (Santa Cruz, Colchagua, October 4, 1837 — Santiago, May 14, 1890) was a Chilean engineer, painter and writer known for his influence on the science fiction genre of Chilean literature.

Biography 
Engineer, artist and writer, he studied mathematics and natural sciences at the National Institute of Chile. He graduated as an engineer in 1856 and was appointed member of the Geodesic Commission. Shortly thereafter he was appointed to the same position in the Southern Railroad. Addicted to the fine arts, he later dedicated himself to painting and photography, being the inventor of an original system of oil portraits. In the portrait genre he excelled as a painter. In 1874 he published his scientific discovery of extracting drinking water from the sea, at a lower price than that produced by distilling machines.

In 1877 he revealed himself as an illustrated, ingenious and original writer, publishing in the newspaper La República a series of articles of customs in the form of romances, describing notable personalities of the political world, subscribed under the pseudonym of Saint Paul. In 1879 he inserted in El Nuevo Ferrocarril several literary articles, making a portrait of the personalities of the time that made the most outstanding figure in literature and politics. His pen as a critic and biographer was as skillful as his brush as a portrait painter. The most graphic articles that have been published in the Chilean press describing the moral and historical physiognomy of Miguel Luis Amunátegui and Federico Errázuriz Echaurren are due to the ingenious pen of Miralles.

In the Revista Chilena he published an interesting study on La Teoría de los colores and his novel Avelina, which merited a pleasant critical review by the erudite commentator Pedro Antonio Pérez [Kefas]. He collaborated with admirable articles of diverse literary nature in Los Tiempos, La Patria, Las Novedades and El Ferrocarril. Among his most notable writings are those entitled La pintura en Chile, José Joaquín Pérez, Miguel Luis Amunátegui and Eulogio Altamirano. He had a brilliant and extremely curious literary polemic, in La Patria de Valparaíso, with Eduardo de la Barra Lastarria, about literature and arts, in which he said that the illustrious Chilean poet had portrayed himself as Lord Byron because he believed he had the incarnation of his genial soul.

In 1877 he published an original and entertaining book, of ingenious fantasy, entitled Desde Júpiter, a kind of idealistic dreams, like the philosophical and astronomical imaginations of Flammarion, and considered the first works of science fiction in Chilean literature. A rare talent, he possessed extraordinary qualities as an artist and literary man, as well as truly original gifts of imagination and fantasy, painting with his pen and brush the beautiful creations of his inspiration and his ideal.

He died on May 14, 1890, in Santiago de Chile of stomach cancer.

Strike Force Harrier. Strike Force Harrier is a 1986 combat flight simulation video game designed by Rod Hyde and published by Mirrorsoft for the 8-bit home computers. 16-bit ports were released later.

Gameplay
The game simulates the flying of the British attack aircraft Harrier jump jet, known for its vertical takeoff and landing. The objective is to attack an enemy base 250 miles away, filled with MiG fighters, SAM sites, and tanks. The game can't be cleared in one go, each sector must be cleared to establish landing, refuelling, and rearming bases for the land forces. A HUD displays essential information on the cockpit window. A radar screen plots the position and any enemies nearby. Red traces warn of missiles requiring evasive action.

Reception

Amtix called the game better than Skyfox and Spitfire 40. They summarized the game as "[a] simply superb fight simulation with loads of potential". Crash said that "though by no means the best on the Spectrum, Strike Force Harrier is quite reasonable. As a flight sim, this is pretty good". Computer and Video Games reviewed the BBC Micro version and concluded: "A classy, polished and highly addictive simulation, this is a game to keep". When reviewing the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum versions they said that "Strike Force Harrier is set to become a classic of its type on all formats". Zzap!64 summarized: "Not a brilliant flight simulator, but one of the more exciting on the market".

Alfonso Fernández-Canteli. Alfonso Fernández-Canteli (born 17 April 1945) is a Spanish researcher, professor and engineer in the field of the probabilistic fatigue modelling of materials, structural components and structures.

Biography
Alfonso Fernández-Canteli is graduated in mechanical engineering at the University of the Basque Country, Spain (1970). Between 1970 and 1972, he obtained the Master Science in Civil Engineering at the ETH Zurich (Switzerland). In 1981, he completed his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Madrid (Spain). Fernández-Canteli joined at the University of Oviedo (Spain) in Gijón in 1981. In 2015 he became a professor emeritus and continued to teach and research.

Contributions
He is known for his work on probabilistic fatigue modeling of materials and structural components using stress-life and strain-life methods.  In 2001, Alfonso Fernández-Canteli and Enrique Castillo presented a particular form of a probabilistic model for materials under fatigue which embodies Weibull features and the size effect in a weakest-link framework. He and Enrique Castillo are authors of the book A Unified Statistical Methodology for Modeling Fatigue Damage that provides a unified methodology to derive models for fatigue life, which includes stress-life, strain-life, and crack propagation models (2009). His scientific advances in probabilistic modeling of fatigue based on the stress damage parameter served as a basis for the generalization of the probabilistic fatigue model allowing for various fatigue damage variables suggested by J. Correia (2017).

Awards
 2019: Robert Moskovic Award in recognition of an outstanding contribution to Unified Probabilistic Fatigue Methodology

Targeted Convergence. Targeted Convergence is a privately held, information technology company based in Texas, United States.

History 
Before founding Targeted Convergence Corporation, Michael N. Kennedy worked as senior member technical staff at Texas Instruments. He collaborated with Dr. Allen Ward from the University of Michigan, teaching the Toyota Product Development System (TPDS). Based on their work, Michael wrote and published the first book on the TPDS, called Product Development for the Lean Enterprise.

In 2004, Michael Kennedy and his son, Brian Kennedy, co-founded Targeted Convergence in Texas, United States. Michael served as the CEO up until his death in 2024.

Business Model
To help companies meld the TPDS learning into their own development practices, Targeted Convergence Corporation (TCC) developed a series of workshops to teach the required skills and make the appropriate process adjustments. TCC named the modified development process "Learning-First Product Development" to highlight the necessary shift for organizations. The main goal of this process was to prevent delays and cost overruns caused by extensive rework when design decisions needed to be changed late in the process.

These workshops consistently achieved success in reducing rework and preventing delays and cost overruns for many small to medium-sized companies that TCC worked with, including Fisher & Paykel Appliances, Teledyne Benthos, PING, TRW, and several medical device companies like Boston Scientific. Case studies for Fisher & Paykel Appliances and Teledyne Benthos were featured in TCC’s second book, Ready, Set, Dominate, published in 2008.

Other notable clients of Targeted Convergence include: Intel, Kongsberg Automotive, aerospace companies like Boeing, Bombardier, Honeywell, and  Pratt & Whitney. A case study for their work with Pratt & Whitney was featured in TCC’s third book, Success is Assured, published in 2019, which also included the learning from their work with other aerospace companies. To support the teaching of the Learning-First Product Development process through their workshops, TCC created software tools originally called Set-Based Thinking Tools, that have since been developed out into the Success Assured collaboration software.
