CFAV Lynx (YAG 320). Canadian Forces Auxiliary Vessel (CFAV) Lynx (YAG 320) was one of ten wooden YAG-300 (Yard Auxiliary, General) vessels built for the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) between 1953 and 1955. Built for use as auxiliary craft, Lynx primarily served as an at-sea training platform for junior naval officers, boatswains, reserve personnel and Sea Cadets at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Esquimalt.

Design and layout 
Like other YAG 300 vessels, Lynx was 75′ long overall, 18′6″ wide, had a draft of 4′6″, measured 70 tonnes, and was powered by twin 6-71 Detroit Diesel engines. Lynx was arranged in typical naval fashion with officer’s housed forward with the galley and their own head, an engine room midships, and cadet room aft with 12-14 bunks in double tiers. The heads are equipped with a pump-action lever, that can be used to pump sewage into the black water treatment tanks held aboard or into the ocean water. Above decks was the wheelhouse mounted on the forward cabin's coaming; aft of that, the exposed breezeway; and, mounted on the after cabin's coaming, a Zodiac launch as well as a food locker and barbeque. Above the wheelhouse was an open bridge, fitted with a chart table and a gyrocompass repeater. A second gyro repeater was fitted on the quarterdeck. Lynx was equipped with a Furuno 1831 navigation radar, with the display located in the wheelhouse.

Operational history 
In 1955 she was built for the RCN as YFM 320 (Yard Ferry, Man) and served as a harbour ferry boat. Re-designated as YFP-320 (Yard Ferry, Personnel) in 1960, she was designated as a tender to HMCS Oriole in 1963. Later designated as YAG 320 Lynx, she was regrouped under the control and operation of the Small Boats Unit (SBU) at HMC Dockyard Esquimalt where she was used for seamanship and navigation training until 2007. Lynx was offered for sale by the Canadian Government as part of the YAG 300 Replacement Project, which saw the YAG boats replaced by new Orca-class patrol vessels. In 2011 she was sold to private owners for $11,378, converted to a private yacht and renamed RNOOKNOO.

Archer Daniels Midland Wheat Mill. The Archer Daniels Midland Wheat Mill was a plant in Chicago's Fulton Market District. The complex included brick loft buildings, a grain elevator, and silos. The oldest buildings in the complex were built in 1897 and were designed by William Carbys Zimmerman and John J. Flanders. It originally served as Eckhart & Swan's wheat and rye mill.

History
In 1896, Eckhart & Swan purchased the Hess elevators, on Carroll Avenue, between Ada and Elizabeth street, for $75,000. In 1897, Eckhart & Swan began constructing a new wheat and rye mill, at a cost of between $250,000 and $300,000, replacing their existing mill at Canal and Fulton. It was the largest mill in Illinois. In 1909, Eckhart & Swan Milling Company's name was changed to the B. A. Eckhart Milling Company.

An addition was built at the corner of Carroll and Elizabeth in 1910. The grain elevator was built in 1927, and was designed by M. A. Lang. In 1927, Eckhart purchased an adjoining property on Elizabeth Street, to build an addition to their plant. The property had been the site of the Puritan Mills feed plant, which burned down the previous year. New grain silos were built by Bulley & Andrews in 1948.

In 1964, Dixie Portland Flour Mills purchased Eckhart Milling Company. In 1990, Archer Daniels Midland purchased the plant for $14 million. In 2017, Archer Daniels Midland announced that it intended to build a new plant in Mendota, Illinois and close their plant in Chicago. In 2018, the plant was sold to Sterling Bay for approximately $25 million. Sterling Bay began demolishing the mill on February 11, 2021. Initial reports stated that Sterling Bay planned to build a Metra station on the site. In February 2021, Preservation Chicago listed the complex as one of Chicago's most endangered buildings.

Fires
On March 26, 1912, a suction fan overheated and ignited waste in a wheat cleaning room, starting a fire. The fire was contained to the northern half of the four-story building, due to a worker closing a fireproof door. After the firefighters left, a dust explosion caused a partial structural collapse, killing one worker.

On March 18, 1970, an explosion occurred in a storage room on the sixth floor, killing one worker and injuring three, and causing the collapse of the top two floors of the northern edge of the building. Many of the bricks fell onto a freight car parked on tracks to the north of the building. Damage was estimated at $50,000.

Italian destroyer Fulmine (1931). Fulmine was one of four s built for the  (Royal Italian Navy) in the early 1930s. Completed in 1932, she served in World War II.

Design and description
The Folgore-class destroyers were essentially copies of the preceding , although their beam was reduced in an unsuccessful attempt to improve their speed over that achieved by the earlier ships. The Folgores had an overall length of , a beam of  and a mean draft of  and  at deep load. They displaced  at standard load, and  at deep load. Their complement during wartime was 185 officers and enlisted men.

The Folgores were powered by two Belluzzo geared steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft using steam supplied by three Thornycroft boilers. The turbines were designed to produce  and a speed of  in service, although the ships reached speeds of  during their sea trials while lightly loaded. They carried enough fuel oil to give them a range of  at a speed of .

Their main battery consisted of four  guns in two twin-gun turrets, one each fore and aft of the superstructure. Anti-aircraft (AA) defense for the Folgore-class ships was provided by a pair of  AA guns in single mounts amidships and a pair of twin-gun mounts for  machine guns. They were equipped with six  torpedo tubes in two triple mounts amidships. Although the ships were not provided with a sonar system for anti-submarine work, they were fitted with a pair of depth charge throwers. The Folgores could carry 52 mines.

Construction and career
Fulmine was laid down by Cantieri navali del Quarnaro at their Fiume shipyard on 1 October 1929, launched on 2 August 1931 and commissioned on 14 September 1932.

Lusted Road Bridge. The Lusted Road Bridge, formerly known as the Portland Water Works Bridge, is an iron truss bridge that spans the Sandy River in Sandy, Clackamas County, Oregon, United States. Constructed for the Portland Water Works in 1894, the bridge was originally located in Portland and spanned the Willamette River.

History
Constructed for the Portland Water Works in 1894, the Lusted Road Bridge was designed by W. B. Chase of Portland, a railroad engineer. It was fabricated by the Bullen Bridge Company. Originally constructed in Portland and spanning the Willamette River, the bridge was known as the Portland Water Works Bridge.

In 1926, after the completion of the Burnside Bridge, the bridge was dismantled and relocated. The west approach of the bridge was located to Bull Run, where it spans the Bull Run River, while its east portion was relocated to its current location in Sandy, where it replaced a pre-existing truss bridge that provided access to Dodge Park.

In the 1980s, the bridge was recognized as one of the state's significant historic bridges, and in 1998, it was rehabilitated by Clackamas County.
