Delta 31. The Delta 31, also called the Albin Delta, is a Swedish sailboat that was designed by Peter Norlin as a cruiser-racer and first built in 1983.

The Delta 31 was designed as a replacement for the Ballad 30 in the company's product line.

Production
The design was built by Albin Marine in Sweden from 1983 to 1986, with 300 boats completed, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Delta 31 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces  and carries  of ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard keel and is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 1GM diesel engine of  for docking and manoeuvring.

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, an U-shaped settee and a quarter berth in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the starboard side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and a round sink. A navigation station is aft of the galley, on the port side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side.

Operational history
In a 2009 review Yachting Monthly described the design as, "a sleek, powerful, fractionally rigged cruiser-racer".

Edward Edwin Glanville. Edward Edwin Glanville (1873 – 21 August 1898), was an Irish engineer who assisted Guglielmo Marconi in his experiments in wireless telegraphy.

Early life
Edward Edwin Glanville was born in 1873, in Blackrock, County Dublin. He entered Trinity College Dublin in 1891, studying mathematics and experimental science, graduating in 1895 with a first-class BA. Having been awarded a scholarship in 1895, Glanville undertook postgraduate work under Professor George Francis FitzGerald, passing his examinations in 1898.

Career with Marconi
Glanville joined the company that was later known as the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Co. in July 1897. He worked for a time in London, before he was sent to conduct experiments on different types of aerials on the Salisbury Plain. Working with George Kemp, Glanville conducted transmission tests between Bournemouth and Alum Bay on the Isle of Wight in January 1898. Lord Kelvin inspected the installation in June 1898, and at his insistence, paid a shilling to send a message of G. G. Stokes, making this the first wireless transmission of a paid telegram.

Marconi sent Glanville and Kemp to Ireland in July 1898, to set up a wireless telegraphy link between Rathlin Island and Ballycastle. They sent the first test signals which were received on 6 July. That day, Marconi sent the pair to an annual regatta in Kingstown, County Dublin. Over the course of the two day event, the pair sent over 1700 reports of the yacht races to the shore, making this is first time wireless telegraphy was used at a sporting event. It also demonstrated the potential use of the system for communication at sea.

Death on Rathlin Island
Glanville returned to Rathlin, and Kemp to Ballycastle, to resume the experiments there. Glanville fell from the cliffs on Rathlin Island while on a geology and bird-watching field trip and was declared missing on 21 August 1898. His body was recovered on 22 August, and sent back to Dublin, where he was buried on 26 August. Marconi attended Glanville's funeral.

Shirato Iwao-go. The Shirato Iwao-go  was Japan's first civil seaplane. It was a single engine biplane floatplane and performed well enough to give a number of exhibition flights.

Design and development

The Iwao-go was designed soon after Otogiiro Itoh's Shirato Asahi-go landplane and shared some of its characteristics. Iwao-go translates to Rock, via the Japanese word Iwa (岩) plus -go (type). It was a wood-framed biplane, with more than two bays defined by parallel, tall interplane struts to the forward and rear wing edges. There were no cabane struts but the innermost interplane struts were close to the fuselage. Its straight-edged wings were fabric covered; both upper and lower wings carried generous ailerons. It is not known if the upper wing had greater span than the lower, as it did on the Asahi-go.

Its fuselage was flat-sided with rounded upper decking ahead of the open cockpit, placed behind the wing trailing edge; there was a central, shallow cut-out in the upper edge to improve the pilot's upward field of view and the large interplane gap provided a good forward view. The  Indian rotary engine was, as in many rotary installations, shrouded above and on its sides, though open below to drain lost oil downwards.

Each of the Iwao-go'''s floats were mounted on a pair of V-struts to the wing near the bottom of the interplane struts with another, single strut to the engine mounting.

Operational history

Construction began on 28 January 1916. Just over a month later, on 1 March, Einosuke Shirato took it on its first flight. Exhibition flights began a fortnight later with a flight from Lake Suwa. Unfortunately, after the Iwao-go'' hit a log on Lake Biwa a newspaper which had sponsored the event took Shirato to court for failing provide it. They settled out of court but in doing so ownership of the seaplane passed to one of Shirato's assistants. He soon lost interest in it, bringing its brief career to an end.

League of Entropy. The League of Entropy (LoE) is a voluntary consortium of organizations working together to implement an unpredictable, bias-resistant, fully decentralized, and publicly-verifiable threshold cryptosystem designed to deliver distributed Randomness as a Service, (RaaS) among other use cases. The open-source software that powers the League of Entropy's network is called drand, (short for decentralized randomness).

Active members of the League currently include Arbitrand, Automata Network, ChainSafe, cLabs, Cloudflare, DIA Association, Emerald Onion, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Ethereum Foundation, Filecoin Foundation; Gelato Network; IPFS Force, KEN Labs, Kudelski Security, Protocol Labs, PTisp, Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) Foundation, Randamu, StorSwift, Tierion, University of Chile, UCL, Tangle Network, and Zama.

The League was inaugurated in 2019 with the original founding members including Cloudflare, Protocol Labs researcher Nicolas Gailly, University of Chile, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), and Kudelski Security. The League was created to provide a decentralized alternative to centralized randomness beacons where random number generation may be compromised or manipulated, as occurred in the Hot Lotto fraud scandal. It is also intended to avoid the implicit trust assumptions that occur when a single organization or entity is responsible for producing randomness, as in the case of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's public randomness beacon.

Verifiable randomness has numerous applications in blockchain computing, gaming, gambling, lotteries, elections, and privacy-preserving data management systems.

ENS El Fateh. ENS El Fateh (971) is the lead ship of Egyptian Gowind-class corvette of the Egyptian Navy. She was commissioned on 22 September 2017.

Development and design 

The name El Fateh was originally first carried by the former British destroyer , acquired by the Egyptian Navy in 1955. The name was transferred to the new Gowind-class ship in September 2017, and the status of the former  Zenith is now unclear.

In 2014, Egypt signed a €1bn contract with Naval Group to buy four Gowind 2,500-ton corvettes with an option for two more. Separately, MBDA negotiated a contract to equip the ships with MICA vertical launch air-defense missiles and MM40 Block 3 Exocet anti-ship missiles, together worth an additional 400 million euros, while Naval Group negotiated a 100–200 million euro contract for torpedoes. Three of the corvettes are to be built locally by Alexandria Shipyardwithin a technology transfer agreement. It was apparently President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi who decided these were the ships he wanted rather than the Meko A200 being offered by German group ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) or the Sigma corvette proposed by Damen of the Netherlands. Egypt is in talks with France to acquire another two Gowind corvettes which, if ordered, would be produced by France in Lorient.

In April 2015, Naval Group started cutting metal for the very first Gowind 2500 corvette, with a planned construction period of 29 months. It is the first of a series of four units that will be delivered to Egypt before 2019. The corvette's first block was laid in the dry dock in September 2015. Naval Group celebrated the launch of the first Egyptian Gowind corvette El Fateh at the Lorient naval shipyard in September 2016. El Fateh successfully concluded its first sea trials by the end of March 2017. The Egyptian Navy took delivery of the vessel in September 2017, three years after the order was placed.

Construction and career 
El Fateh was laid down on 30 September 2015 and launched on 17 September 2016 by DCNS in Lorient. She was commissioned on 22 September 2017.

Fubon Sky Tree. The Fubon Sky Tree () is a residential skyscraper in West District, Taichung, Taiwan. Construction of the building began in 2013 and it was completed in 2016. The height of the building is , and it comprises 39 floors above ground, as well as four basement levels. The building was designed by the Japanese architect Toyo Ito.

Design 
The exterior design comes with stone walls, glass façades and double-layered exterior walls, which have both energy-saving effects, and the irregularities of the house body stand out to symbolize the branches of a large tree. The terraces of special households are like a "canopy", adding to the overall bionic sense of the building.
The first floor of the entrance hall has a height of 6 meters. The interior design combines simplistic styles resembling nature, such as trees, flowers, and ripples. One can see the outdoor garden green from the large glass windows of the lobby, and the public facilities, which include a swimming pool, a banquet hall, etc. are located on the 38th and 39th floors in order to enable the residences to enjoy the skyline of Taichung at night.

Widnes Laboratory. The Widnes Laboratory was a research institute in northern Cheshire, run by Imperial Chemical Industries.

History

The site opened in 1891 as the Central Laboratory.

On Monday 7 August 1950, an explosion at the site killed one man and injured another.

Discovery of halothane
Work was carried out at Widnes Laboratory from 1951 to 1956 which led to the discovery of halothane in 1955. Halothane gas was the most common anaesthetic for many years.

There had been deaths with halothane and liver damage, and was discontinued from the 1980s. Anaesthetic deployment in hospitals is mostly with intravenous compounds and then isoflurane gas, discovered by Ross Terrell in the US.

Structure
The site was demolished, and now lies under the A533.
