Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe and Felix Candela's Industrial Buildings. The Bacardi buildings of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Félix Candela are located in the Greater Mexico City, Mexico. This site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on 20 November 2001 in the Cultural category.

Office Building
Originally constructed between 1958 and 1961, van der Rohe designed the corporate Office Building, and Felix Candela designed  bottling plant and distillery cellars of Bacardi & Co. The bottling company's owner, Jose "Pepín" Bosch, had originally commissioned Van der Rohe to design the company's headquarters in Santiago de Cuba and Bacardi's plant in the outskirts of Mexico City. Bosch was impressed with  Crown Hall, and requested an office  "where there were no partitions, where everybody, both officers and employees, could see each other." 

The two-story rectangular Office Building's dimensions are 56 meters by 27 meters, and it was constructed in a parallel fashion to the main highway from Mexico City to Querétaro. The building is two floors high and eight meters tall. It's an open-plan lobby. The second floor has offices and meeting rooms, enclosed by glass.

Distillery and Ageing building
Felix Candela designed the buildings to incorporate large concrete shells: "long-barrel vaults" and umbrella domes at the warehouses and workshops.  These materials allowed for above average illumination indoors, and along with overall design, it created a unique architectural collection. They were inspired by Minoru Yamasaki’s and Anton Tedesko’s 1956 Lambert-St. Louis Airport Terminal. 

The factory roof was originally formed by three vaults 4-centimeter (1.6 inches) thick and 26 meters (85.3 ft.) square in plan with 2.5 m. (27.9 ft.) overhanging arches on each side. A second row of three vaults was added in 1971 using the same design but built by another architect.

Savoia-Pomilio SP.1. The Savoia-Pomilio SP.1 was a reconnaissance and bomber aircraft built in Italy during the First World War.

Design and development
The SP.1 was designed by Major Umberto Savoia and Lieutenant Ottorino Pomilio based on the Farman MF.11 that SIA was building under licence as the SIA 5b. While the SP.1 shared the same basic configuration as the 5b, it was a larger and stronger aircraft. 

The pilot and observer sat in tandem in an open nacelle with the engine mounted pusher-fashion at its rear. This nacelle was mounted on struts in the gap between biplane wings, and a twin-tail arrangement linked by a common horizontal stabiliser was carried on booms that extended aft from the wings. SIA built the prototype at its factory in Turin, and while this was the only example constructed, it served as the basis for a number of follow-on designs, the SP.2, SP.3, and SP.4, which were built in large numbers.

Polyethylene glycol cetyl ether. Polyethylene glycol cetyl ether (polyethylene glycol hexadecyl ether) is a nonionic surfactant produced by the ethoxylation of cetyl alcohol to give a material with the general formula HO(C2H4O)nC16H33. Several grades of this material are available depending on the level of ethoxylation performed, with repeat units (n) of polyethylene glycol varying between 2 and 20. Commercially it can be known as Cetomacrogol 1000, Brij 58 (when n=20), Brij 56 (when n=10), and other trade names.

It is used as a solubilizer and emulsifying agent in foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, often as an ointment base.  It is used as an oil in water (O/W) emulsifier for creams/lotions, and a wetting agent.

HMS Turbulent (1919). HMS Turbulent was an  built for the Royal Navy during the First World War.

Description
The S-class destroyers were improved versions of the preceding Modified R class. They displaced . The ships had an overall length of , a beam of  and a draught of . They were powered by two Brown-Curtis geared steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by two Yarrow boilers. The turbines developed a total of  and gave a maximum speed of . The ships carried a maximum of  of fuel oil that gave them a range of  at . The ships' complement was 90 officers and ratings.

Turbulent was armed with three QF  Mark IV guns in single mounts and a single 2-pounder (40 mm) "pom-pom" anti-aircraft gun. The ship was fitted with two twin mounts for  torpedoes. Two additional single mounts were positioned abreast the bridge at the break of the forecastle for 18-inch (45 cm) torpedoes. All torpedo tubes were above water and traversed to fire.

Construction and career
Turbulent was laid down on 14 November 1917 by Hawthorn Leslie and Company, launched on 29 May 1919 and completed on 10 October. The ship saw little or no active service before being struck in 1936. She was one of the obsolete destroyers handed over to the shipbreakers Thos. W. Ward in part-payment for  on 25 August 1936, and was then broken up at Inverkeithing.

Renfe Class 353. The Renfe Class 353, formerly known as the T-3000 are a class of diesel-hydraulic locomotives built by Krauss-Maffei for express trains in Spain.

Background and design 

The class could be described as the bigger and better version of the Renfe Class 352, being similar in design, and from the same builder, but with more power and also two cabins to simplify operation.

They were delivered between 1968 and 1969, built to a similar two-engined hydraulic transmission design as the Class 352 but with Maybach 12-cylinder engine developing more power,  (at 1600 rpm) each, giving a tractive effort of . Built with two interior walkways via the cabins, the locomotives were a little heavier than their predecessors at .

The locomotives were fitted with coupling screws and Scharfenberg couplers. Auxiliary generators provide electrical power for the coaches.

Two sets of standard gauge bogies were also supplied, for cross border work (bogie exchange).

The locomotives were painted in red-silver.

Operations 
A total of five diesel were acquired to pull the Talgo III coaches at a record speed of over . Their commission was related to the inauguration of the Talgo III RD (dual gauge) coached train from Madrid to Paris via Burgos, Vitoria, Hendaya and Bordeaux.

The trains also worked other international trains such as Barcelona to Geneva via Narbonne, Montpellier and Culoz, and the Paris to Barcelona; taking charge of the train after it passed the change of gauge to broad Iberian gauge at the stations of  Irún and Portbou.

In May 1972, one of them reached a speed of  between Guadalajara and Azuqueca de Henares. Between Alcázar de San Juan and Rio Záncara, on 4 May 1978, 353-001 reached , for some time the class held the world speed record for diesel traction.

The mass electrifications in the eighties reduced the radius of action of both the Class 352 and Class 353, operating primarily in the axes Badajoz / Lisbon, Granada / Almería, Murcia / Cartagena and direct corridor from  Madrid to Burgos.

The standard gauge bogies found a use unexpected at the time of the locomotives inception – in 1991 was used to tow a Talgo Pendular train on the high speed Madrid to Seville AVE line.

The class was retired on 25 September 2003. The 353-005-2 is preserved in working condition at the museum of Vilanova.

Alalay Lake. 
Laguna Alalay is a lake in the Cochabamba Department, Bolivia. At an elevation of 2570 m, its surface area is 2.4 km2.  The lake has a flood control dam that regulates floods of the Rocha River. The lake perimeter features a bicycle path and jogging track called circuit Bolivia (Circuito Bolivia).

During the late 20th century, the lake experienced increasing pollution relating to urbanization of the surrounding Cochabamba area leading to eutrophication of the lake. In 1997, a restoration effort was undertaken to remove sediment from the lake, and in 2004 and 2005, floating macrophytes were removed from the lake for use as fertilizer. It was during the same 1997 effort that the bicycle path, bird observatory, and waterfowl conservation area were established. The lake is known for its high diversity of waterfowl.

Blue Yonder Aviation. Blue Yonder Aviation  is a Canadian aircraft manufacturer, specializing in kit aircraft for the North American amateur-built aircraft and ultralight markets.

The company website seems to have been taken down in late 2016 and the company may have gone out of business.

Origins
The company was originally formed by Wayne Winters in 1986 as a flying school teaching students on a single Spectrum Beaver RX550 at Indus/Winters Aire Park south of Calgary, Alberta.

The airport had originally been purchased in 1914 by Miltor L. Winters from the Canadian Pacific Railway for Cdn$24 per acre. In 1946 upon returning home from the Second World War Ralph C. Winters purchased the land from the older Winters. In 1970 he graded the first runway on the property. Ralph Winters son, Wayne Winters assumed operation of the airport when his father retired. The airport is home to a large community of pilots and aircraft, including a large number of ultralights.

Present history
In 1996, Blue Yonder purchased the rights to the Merlin from Merlin Aircraft and started manufacturing the aircraft in a converted pig barn on the property. Winters designed the open-cockpit EZ Flyer in 1991 and the Twin Engine EZ Flyer in 1999. The EZ Flyer proved successful and 30 have been completed alongside approximately 50 Merlins. Blue Yonder constructs kits or completed aircraft on a made-to-order basis. For several years US manufacturer Comp Air marketed Blue Yonder-produced Merlin kits in the USA under the name "Aero Comp Merlin", although this arrangement is no longer in effect.

In 2011 the company introduced a single-seat twin-engine, single-seat, high-wing aircraft, marketed as the Blue Yonder EZ Fun Flyer. Only one was registered in Canada.

Savoia-Pomilio SP.2. 

The Savoia-Pomilio SP.2 was a reconnaissance and bomber aircraft built in Italy during the First World War. It was a refined version of the SP.1, and like it, took its basic configuration from the Farman MF.11: a biplane with twin tails and a fuselage nacelle that accommodated the crew and a pusher-mounted engine. The SP.2 entered mass production with SIA, and with co-designer Ottorino Pomilio's own firm that he had recently established.

Around 300 examples were produced, and by spring 1917, these equipped twelve front-line squadrons of the Aeronautica Militare. Of these machines, about a dozen participated in trials of the Revelli-FIAT 25 mm cannon before production of this weapon was discontinued.

Carl Ebeling. Carl Ebeling is an American computer scientist and professor. His recent interests include coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures of integrated circuits.

Education and career
He earned his B.S. Degree in physics from Wheaton College in 1971. He earned MS from Southern Illinois University Carbondale (1976).

Under Bob Sproull, he earned his Ph.D. in computer science from Carnegie-Mellon University (1986).  From 1986 to 1988, he was a member of the team which created the chess machine HiTech. HiTech was the highest ranked chess machine for some time in mid-1980s until it was surpassed by Deep Blue. Ebeling wrote All The Right Moves – A VLSI Architecture for Chess, a book published through The MIT Press, in 1987. A review by Don Beal of London University called it "well written and easy to read," and accessible to a wide audience despite the technical subject.

In 1986 he joined the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at University of Washington, becoming a full professor since 1997. He was chairman of the 1997 proceedings of the Association for Computing Machinery, titled the FPGA97: 1997 ACM/SIGDA International Symposium on Field Programmable Gate Arrays when published in February of that year. In 2010, he was in the program committee of the 2010 International Conference on Field Programmable Technology. From 2011 to 2012, he was with the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering. In late 2012, he left his academic position for a position at Altera.

Among his projects are Gemini and Gemini2, open source programs for graph isomorphism used for netlist comparison in layout versus schematic IC verification.

Awards
Ebeling's Ph.D. thesis All the Right Moves: A VLSI Architecture for Chess earned him the 1986 Doctoral Dissertation Award from the Association for Computing Machinery. The American Association for Artificial Intelligence awarded Ebeling the Pioneer in Computer Chess award in 1989. His work on HiTech was recognized with the Allen Newell Award for Research Excellence in 1997.

In 2011 he was inducted as a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery.

Personal life
He met his wife Lynne while in the Peace Corps in Liberia, and for some years traveled with his family.

Retrobright. Retrobright (stylized as retr0bright or Retrobrite) is a hydrogen peroxide-based process for removing yellowing from ABS plastics.

Yellowing in ABS plastic occurs when it is exposed to UV light or excessive heat, which causes photo-oxidation of polymers that breaks polymer chains and causes the plastic to yellow and become brittle.

History 

One method of reversing the yellowed discoloration was first discovered in 2007 in a German retrocomputing forum, before spreading to an English blog where it was further detailed. The process has been continually refined since.

Composition 

Retrobright consists of hydrogen peroxide, a small amount of the "active oxygen" laundry booster TAED as a catalyst, and a source of UV.

The optimum mixture and conditions for reversing yellowing of plastics:

 A hydrogen peroxide solution. Hydrogen peroxide-based hair bleaching creams available at beauty supply stores can also be used, and are viscous, allowing them to be applied with less waste (especially to large pieces such as computer panels or monitors). The cream must be carefully applied and wrapped evenly with plastic wrap to avoid streaks in the final product.
 Approximately 1 ml per 3 liters (1 part in 3000 by volume, alternatively  teaspoonful per US gallon) of tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED)-based laundry booster (concentrations of TAED vary).
 A source of ultraviolet light, from sunlight or a UV lamp.

Xanthan gum or arrowroot can be added to the solution, creating an easier-to-apply gel.

Alternatives 

Sodium percarbonate may also be used by dissolving it in water and following the usual steps for hydrogen peroxide, as it is sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide in a crystalline form.

Ozone gas can also be used for retrobrighting, as long as an ozone generator, a suitable container of sufficient size and a source of UV are available, but can take longer than other methods.

A simpler but slower process involving merely exposure of the yellowed plastic to bright sunlight has been described, variously called 'Sunbrighting' or 'Lightbrighting'. This has both empirical evidence of effectiveness and the theoretical backing of some published scientific literature, which emphasises exposure to strong visible light while minimising ultraviolet exposure.

Effectiveness 

The long-term effectiveness of these techniques is unclear. Some have discovered the yellowing reappears, and there are concerns that the process weakens and only bleaches the already damaged plastic.

Similar processes 

The usage has also expanded to other retro restoration applications, such as classic and collectible sneaker restoration.
