Automated mineralogy. Automated mineralogy is a generic term describing a range of analytical solutions, areas of commercial enterprise, and a growing field of scientific research and engineering applications involving largely automated and quantitative analysis of minerals, rocks and man-made materials.

Technology
Automated mineralogy analytical solutions are characterised by integrating largely automated measurement techniques based on Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Commercially available lab-based solutions include QEMSCAN and Mineral Liberation Analyzer (MLA) from FEI Company, Mineralogic from Zeiss, AZtecMineral from Oxford Instruments, the TIMA  (Tescan integrated mineral analyzer) from TESCAN, AMICS from Bruker, and MaipSCAN from Rock Scientific. The first oil & gas wellsite solution was launched jointly by Zeiss and CGG Veritas in 2011 called RoqSCAN. This was followed approximately 6 months later by the release of QEMSCAN Wellsite by FEI Company.  More recently in 2016, a ruggedized mine site solution for mining and mineral processing was launched by Zeiss called MinSCAN.

Business
The business of automated mineralogy is concerned with the commercialisation of the technology and software in terms of development and marketing of integrated solutions. This includes all aspects of: service; maintenance; customer support; R&D; marketing and sales. Customers of automated mineralogy solutions include: laboratory facilities; mine sites, well sites, and research institutions.

Applications
Automated mineralogy solutions are applied in a variety of fields requiring statistically reliable, quantitative mineralogical information. These include the following sectors: mining; O&G; coal; environmental sciences; forensic geosciences; archaeology;agribusiness; built environment and planetary geology.

History of the use of the term
The first recorded use of the term automated mineralogy in technical journals can be traced back to seminal papers in the late eighties early nineties describing QEMSCAN technology and applications. The term gained significant popularity after it was used to name a new international conference in July 2006.

Khrunichev T-411 Aist. The Krunichev T-411 Aist (en: Stork) is a Russian light utility monoplane designed by the Russian company Aeroprogress and placed into production by the Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center. A version is marketed in the United States as the Aeroprogress T-411 Wolverine powered by a Continental TSIO-550-B.

A homebuilt derivative design is the Washington T-411 Wolverine.

Development
The ROKS-Aero corporation was set up in Moscow in 1990 to design and manufacture general aviation aircraft, but was renamed Aeroprogress in 1993. In 1992 ROKS-Aero started design of a single-engined light aircraft, the T-411 Aist 2. Construction of the prototype T-411 started in April 1993, making its maiden flight on 10 November 1993. The Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center set up an aviation department in 1994 and purchased a license to build the Aist. The airframe, however, is produced by Production complex #2 of RAC MIG. It is a high-wing braced monoplane with a tubular-steel fuselage and metal fabric covered wings.   The T-411 is powered by a 360 hp Vedeneyev M14P radial piston engine and has either a fixed tail wheel landing gear or can be fitted with floats.

Drosscape. Drosscape is an urban design framework that looks at urbanized regions as the waste product of defunct economic and industrial processes.  The concept was realized by Alan Berger, professor of urban design at MIT, and is part of a new vocabulary and aesthetic that could be useful for the redesign and adaptive reuse of ‘waste landscapes’ within urbanized regions.

Definition and application
According to Berger, drosscape, as a concept, implies that dross, or waste, may be "scaped", or resurfaced, and reprogrammed for adaptive reuse. Berger goes on to explain that this phenomenon emerges from two primary processes. Firstly, Drosscape surfaces as a byproduct of rapid urbanization and horizontal growth urban sprawl. Secondly, these spaces arise as a consequence of defunct economic and production systems. For urban planners, architects and other design professionals, drosscape may offer another creative way to envision space and landscape design in a city.  According to Berger, “Adaptively reusing this waste landscape figures to be one of the twenty-first century’s great infrastructural design challenges.”

These waste places have risen from deindustrialization as well as industrial growth, the latter having replaced old technologies with new ones... leading to “creative destruction”, or the abolishment of the obsolete.  This concept also forgives sprawl, explaining that industrial growth and success in urban centers causes this inevitable, horizontal movement, and isn’t intrinsically bad.  Again, this will require a new line of thinking, as we’ve been trained to fear sprawl and to despise the landscape that humans have created. Once the waste landscapes are identified, it will be the job of the entrepreneurial design professional to integrate and re-use these spaces in the urban world.

Examples
Berger cites the following examples as demonstrating the horizontal urbanization which results in "wasted landscapes".
California Speedway (former steel mill site), Fontana, California 
Trinity River Corridor, Dallas Texas
Global III Intermodal Terminal.Rochelle, Illinois
U.S. Steel Plant. South Side Chicago, Illinois
Inman Yard. Norfolk Southern Railway, Atlanta, Georgia

H. Tyler Marcy. H. Tyler "Ty" Marcy (September 14, 1918 – September 19, 2014) was an IBM executive who served as United States Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research and Development) from 1974 to 1977.

Biography

Early life
Ty Marcy was born in 1918 in Rochester, New York and was raised in Baltimore. After high school, he attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, receiving a B.S. and, in 1941, an M.S. in electrical engineering. In 1941, he took a job at MIT's Servomechanism Laboratory, where he worked on gun control systems until the end of World War II. In 1946, he joined M. W. Kellogg Limited as associate director of their Special Projects Department. His work at M. W. Kellogg focused on rocket engine development, missile controls, and analog air defense systems.

Career
In 1951, Marcy left M. W. Kellogg for IBM. His first project there involved working on the bomb/navigation system of the B-52 Stratofortress. He then moved on to work on commercial development of data processing machines and peripheral devices. In 1956, Marcy became Assistant Manager of Product Development at IBM's Corporate Headquarters in New York City. The next year he moved to Poughkeepsie, New York, as manager of the IBM laboratory there. In 1965, he became vice-president of IBM's General Products Division; in 1967, vice-president of the Systems Development Division; and, in 1968, Director of Technology at IBM's Corporate Headquarters in Armonk, New York.

Marcy left IBM in 1972 to do work as a consultant in the areas of engineering management, technology, and program review.

In 1974, President of the United States Richard Nixon nominated Marcy as Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research and Development) and he subsequently held this office from October 15, 1974, until April 4, 1977.

Marcy was made a life fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in 1967 for his "leadership in feedback control, in professional society activities and significant contributions to management of engineering enterprises". He was president of the Instrument Society of America from 1971 to 1974. On September 19, 2014, Marcy died at the age of 96 in Brewster, Massachusetts.

Forex signal. A forex signal is a suggestion for entering a trade on a currency pair, usually at a specific price and time. The signal is generated either by a human analyst or an automated forex robot supplied to a subscriber of the forex signal service. Due to the timely nature of signals, they are usually communicated via email, website, SMS, RSS, tweet or other relatively immediate method. In many jurisdictions signal services need to be registered with the authorities.

Types of services
Services provided fall into four categories:

Unpaid/free signals
Paid signals from one provider whether by personal analysis or algorithmic analysis
Paid signals aggregated from multiple signal sources or 'systems'
Signals supplied by trading software located on the trader's computer, also known as a forex robot or EA (Expert Advisor)

Typical features offered by Forex signal service providers
The main services offered by forex signal suppliers are:

Exact or approximate entry, exit and stop loss figures for trades on one or more currency pairs
Supporting graphs and/or analysis for the signals
A trading history showing the number of pips profit/loss per month and/or the risk/reward ratio and actual trades. Sometimes (especially in the case of forex robots) this may be shown as back-tested results
One-on-one coaching, or additional interaction with the signal provider such as comments, forum, etc.
Account management whereby a subscriber's account can be traded by the signal provider
Educational resources either via the internet or phone
A trial period for a lesser price

Although these are the main features of a signal supplier, not all of them offer the complete list of services.

Scams and fraudulent activity

As forex is popularly touted as a get-rich-quick method there are a number of services that supply signals of debatable quality, which do not answer the users' expectations for profits.

Methodologies and trading strategies
The majority of signal providers focus on supplying signals based on technical analysis and a minority work on fundamental analysis or price action.
Technical analysis, such as ichimoku and candlestick charting, show both short and long term price trends giving the signal provider flexibility in supplying a range of trade options. Fundamental analysis gives longer term trade ideas. Price action gives extremely short term trade ideas, often more suited to scalping.

American Airpower Museum. The American Airpower Museum is an aviation museum located on the former site of Republic Aviation at Republic Airport in East Farmingdale, New York. It maintains a collection of aviation artifacts and an array of aircraft spanning the many years of the aircraft factory's history.

The museum has many static displays which include a Republic F-84 first generation jet fighter, a rare example of the swept-wing RF-84F reconnaissance variant, and a Republic F-105 Thunderchief. The factory's last production aircraft was the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II.

The museum has a group of volunteers which includes both former Republic workers and veterans of all branches of the military. A flight experience is available on board a C-47 aircraft which actually flew during the Normandy invasion on D-Day.

History
The museum was originally established in 1998 as the American Museum for the Preservation of Historic Aircraft. It was founded by Jeff Clyman with a $250,000 grant from the state.

For several years the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had been pursuing a $10.6 million plan to tear down the  hangar built around 1940 and replace it with a safety apron at the end of a north–south runway to provide more room for emergency stops. In March 2011 Democrats Charles Schumer and Steve Israel said that the FAA stated it was not necessary for the hangar to be torn down, but if it were, federal money could be used to help relocate the hangar to a proposed location farther south along New Highway.

Leisure 17. Leisure 17 is one of a series of cruisers manufactured by the British boatbuilder Cobramold Ltd. until the company went into liquidation in 1980, the moulds were then taken over by Brinecraft Ltd. The boat is capable of offshore sailing.

History 

The Leisure 17 was built between 1967 and 1996. A total of between 3000 and 4500 units were built, the exact numbers are not known due to the company records being lost in a fire in 1990.

Designed to be a family cruiser, the hull is made from Glass-reinforced plastic and came in two designs: a double-keel version and a fin-keel version. The keels of both versions are made from cast iron. Since the double-keel version has a quite low draft (0,65 m), it is popular in tidal waters.

Later, the Leisure 17 SL came in a new shape, designed by Brian Meerloo. This used the same hull but had a redesigned upper deck, giving a larger cabin.

Deck 
The cockpit provides space for up to four persons. A locker is placed between the cockpit and the stern. The stanchions and guard rail gives the Leisure 17 the appearance of a bigger cruiser and provide fixing points for protective fenders.  A small pipe placed at the bow leads to the anchor chain locker.

Sails

Mechanical Propulsion 
Most Leisure 17 are equipped with an outboard.
3.68 kW (5 hp) is sufficient to reach hull speed.

Cabin 

The cabin is just a single room. The seats placed in the saloon provide two bunks. Two additional bunks can be found below the cockpit seats. The Leisure 17 was designed as a 4-person cruiser, but just two crew will fill the available storage and sleeping space.  Although the boat is only 17 feet overall, it is equipped with a small galley and a chemical toilet.

Point of interest 
The Leisure 17 is a seagoing cruiser. The sea-keeping abilities of the yacht were proved by John Adams, who crossed the Atlantic with his Leisure 17 in 1967 within 32 days.

In March 2012, Turkish sailor Noyan Culum, left Bodrum in Turkey and sailed single-handed over eight months to Plymouth in the UK, via Gibraltar and crossing the Bay of Biscay.

In December 2024 John-Kenneth D Habbershaw will sail 'Poppet', a Leisure 17 across the Atlantic to raise money for four UK charities as part of the 'Sofa To Sailboat' project. He will be joined by Farris Collins, a former Team GB Powerlifter.
