Electro-immobilisation. Electro-immobilisation is a form of restraint used on livestock as part of animal husbandry. It involves applying an electric current to the animal to interfere with normal nervous activity. The electric current may either be applied via external electrodes, or via an electrode inserted into the anus. The mechanism of immobilisation is by general spastic paralysis resulting from the electric current, and does not have electroanalgesic or anesthesic effects; the animal remains aware while paralysed, and can experience pain.

Numerous researchers have found electro-immobilisation to be highly aversive to animals. Electro-immobilisation is banned in several countries and disapproved of by numerous animal welfare organizations.

Super Sonic Strike Missile (3SM) Tyrfing. Super Sonic Strike Missile (3SM) Tyrfing is a supersonic anti-ship missile under development by the Norwegian firm Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace (KDA).

The missile is expected to be delivered from 2035 and is planned to be used on Norwegian and German naval vessels. The missile will complement the Naval Strike Missile.

Name 
The name Tyrfing originates from Norse mythology, where it was a sword that always hit what it was swung at, could never rust and could cut through stone and iron as easily as through clothing.

Development 
In 2021 the Norwegian and German governments declared that a new anti-ship missile would become a collaborative project. The missile was initially called the Future Naval Strike Missile.

In November 2023 the Norwegian Ministry of Defense and KDA  proposed that a decision was to be made to initiate the first initial design phase of the project. Germany also plans to consider a decision on commissioning in the new year.

In May 2024 Kongsberg announced they had teamed up with the German partners Diehl Defence and MBDA Deutschland GmbH for development of the missile. In June 2024, the German parliament approved BMVg to invest €650 million for the development of the missile between 2024 and 2033.

First phase 
The contract for the first phase of the development was signed between the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency (NDMA) and Kongsberg D&A in July 2024 for a value of NOK 1.5 billion (€ 130 million)

Baldwin Class 12-28 ¼ E. The Baldwin Class 12-28 ¼ E was a series of 2-8-2 "Mikado" type steam locomotives that were built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for several narrow-gauge railroads.

History 
The class of 2-8-2 "Mikado" type steam locomotives were designed in the 1910s with one example East Broad Top #12 "Millie" being built in December 1911, where it was classified by East Broad Top as a Baldwin 12-28 E-1.

But in the 1930s, an updated version was drawn up. This version had 44-inch driving wheels, a pair of 17 in x 22 in (431.8 mm x 558.8 mm) cylinders, a boiler pressure of 205 psi (1413.4 kPa), a tractive effort of 25,179 lbf (112 kN) and weighed in at 72 tons without the tender (115.25 tons with tender). Their tenders could hold up to 8 tons of coal and 4,000 gallons of water.

Accidents and Incidents 

 White Pass & Yukon Route No. 72 was involved in a roundhouse fire that had destroyed the locomotive in 1969 and its boiler was scrapped in 1974.

Preservation 
Only four locomotives of the Baldwin Class 12-28 ¼ E are still in preservation.

Pioneer Air Museum. The Pioneer Air Museum is an aviation museum located at Pioneer Park in Fairbanks, Alaska.

History 
The Interior and Arctic Alaska Aeronautical Foundation was organized by Randy Acord, Corky Corkran, Everett Long and Dr. William Wood in 1977 and registered in 1982. The group was given permission to use the "Gold Dome" in 1984, but, due to various problems with the condition of the structure, the Pioneer Air Museum was initially unable to open. It was not until 1992, when the wreckage of Ben Eielson's Hamilton H-45 had been placed on display after being recovered from the Soviet Union, that the museum first admitted visitors.

By the end of 2022, the museum deaccessioned a number of aircraft not sufficiently related to its mission, including an Osprey Osprey 2, a RotorWay Scorpion, a Mitchell Wing B-10 and an Eipper Quicksilver in 2022.

Facilities 
The museum is located in the "Gold Dome", a  structure built as an ice skating rink for the Alaska 67 Centennial Exposition in 1967.

Exhibits 
Exhibits at the museum include a Curtiss-Wright flight trainer.

Fluoral. Trifluoroacetaldehyde, trifluoroethanal, or fluoral, is a fluorinated derivative of acetaldehyde with the formula . It is a gas at room temperature. Fluoral is used to introduce trifluoromethyl groups into organic compounds. It is highly electrophilic and fluoral forms a hydrate  upon contact with water like other halogenated acetaldehydes. It is commonly used in form of ethyl hemiacetal (1-ethoxy-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, ) due to the aldehyde's high reactivity, including the tendency to polymerise.

Synthesis and reactions
Upon storage, fluoral polymerises into a waxy, white solid that is soluble in diethyl ether and acetone but not water and chlorocarbons. Heating of this polymer gives monomeric fluoral.
Fluoral can be prepared from trifluoroacetic acid with lithium aluminium hydride in diethyl ether:

or with concentrated sulfuric acid.

Cathodic reduction of bromotrifluoromethane in dimethylformamide with aluminium as anode gives high yields of fluoral. In this reaction, DMF acts both as the solvent and the formylation agent.
Vapour-phase oxidation of trifluoroethanol also gives fluoral.

Photolysis of fluoral gives fluoroform, hexafluoroethane and carbon monoxide, along with some hydrogen.
