Remington Model R-25. The Remington Model R-25 is a semi-automatic gas-operated rifle manufactured by DPMS for Remington Arms. The R-25 is Remington's attempt to join the AR market. It features a free-floating Chrom-Moly fluted barrel and is modeled after the classic AR-10. It has no built-in iron sights and instead has a Picatinny rail mounted atop the receiver to allow the user to mount their choice of scope or other sighting systems. The R-25 is advertised primarily as a hunting rifle, and as such normally comes painted in Mossy Oak camouflage.

Helical band actuator. A helical band actuator, generally known by the trademark Spiralift, is a complex and specialized linear actuator used in stage lifts and material handling lifts.  The actuator forms a high-capacity telescoping tubular column (lifting capacities to 25,000 pounds, travel to 40 feet).

Raison d'être

Pierre Gagnon was awarded a US patent for the “Push Actuator” in 1989.  Gagnon developed the actuator to substitute hydraulic cylinders in stage and orchestra lift systems.  Hydraulic jacks were the predominant push actuators used in performing arts facilities, but they had their issues.

The piston rods of a hydraulic lift extend below the platform they support by more than the length that the lift travels.  For lifts at grade, housings for the rods are often sunk into support holes, known as caissons, that are inaccessible and often complicated by groundwater levels.  If placed above ground, the space occupied by the rod housings is unusable.  Gagnon's actuator eliminates caissons and reduces the volume of unusable space below the platform of the lift.

Another significant issue with hydraulic lifts is platform drift, the tendency of a platform to lower due to depressurization of the hydraulic system over time.  Helical band actuators do not suffer from platform drift because they are rigid mechanical devices.

Traveling nut screw jacks and rigid chain actuators can also be effective at addressing these issues with hydraulic jacks, and are also used for stage lifts.

Principle of operation

The telescoping column is formed by a pair of interlocking stainless steel bands.  One band has a vertical rectangular profile and the other horizontal, much like an oversized Slinky.  The vertical band spirals up on itself into a stacked helix, forming the wall of the column, while at the same time, the horizontal band interlocks the continuous spiral seam of the vertical band.  When the column lowers, the bands separate and retract into two compact coils.  The bands are combined, separated and stored by an assembly located at the base of the column.  The result is an efficient (50%-80%) telescoping lifting column.

To incorporate the device into a lift system, multiple helical band actuators are arranged below the lift platform where they are powered by an electric motor(s) and synchronized transmission.  Helical band actuators require a separate lateral support mechanism, usually provided in the form of guide rails or self-guiding frame, such as a pantograph (e.g. a scissor lift).

SS Friedrich Bischoff. SS Friedrich Bischoff was a cargo steamship. She was built in Germany in 1940. The United Kingdom seized her in 1945, and renamed her Empire Consequence. In 1947 she was transferred to the United States Maritime Commission. In 1951 a Finnish company bought her and renamed her Kaisaniemi. She was scrapped in Norway in 1967.

Building and description
Lübecker Maschinenbau in Lübeck built the ship in 1940 for Argo Reederei. She was named after Friedrich Bischoff (1861–1920), who in 1896 had founded Argo Reederei. Her lengths were  overall and  registered. Her beam was ; her depth was , and her draft was . Her tonnages were  and .

She had a single screw. Ottensener Eisenwerk in Ottensen, Hamburg, made her main engine, which was a four-cylinder compound engine. She also had an exhaust steam turbine, which drove the same propeller shaft via double reduction gearing and a Föttinger fluid coupling. The combined power of her reciprocating engine and turbine was rated at NHP, and gave her a speed of .

Career
On 13 December 1943, an Allied air raid on Bremen sank Friedrich Bischoff. In 1944 she was raised and repaired.

In May 1945 the Allies seized Friedrich Bischoff at Copenhagen. The UK Ministry of War Transport took ownership of her; renamed her Empire Consequence; and registered her in London. Her official number was 180707, and her call sign was GFSX. The Shipping and Coal Company of London were her managers.

On 7 April 1947, the ship was transferred to the United States Maritime Commission. She was laid up in the Hudson River. On 8 March 1948 the Alaska Transportation Company bought her. By June 1948 she was equipped with an echo sounding device. By January 1949 she was registered in Tacoma, and her US official number was 254984. By January 1950 her call sign was WVMP. Also in 1950, Norton Clapp bought the ship, and registered her in Seattle.

In 1951 Etelä-Suomen Laiva O/Y bought Empire Consequence, and renamed her after the Kaisaniemi district of central Helsinki. She was registered in Helsinki; her Finnish official number was 1098; and her call sign was OFRB. She was equipped with radar by 1952; wireless direction finding by 1954, and a gyrocompass and radiotelephone by 1959. Polttoaine Osuuskunta managed her until 1959, and then KS Laaksonen managed her until 1961. Thereafter, Etelä-Suomen Laiva managed her themselves. In 1962 the ship was given ice class 1A, and she was transferred from Lloyd's Register to Det Norske Veritas. She was scrapped at Grimstad in Norway in 1967.

Matthias Willenbacher. Matthias Willenbacher (born 14 July 1969 at Schneebergerhof, Gerbach) is a German entrepreneur and pioneer in the field of renewable energy. Willenbacher studied physics and founded the company juwi together with Fred Jung in 1996. He was a member of the Executive Board of juwi AG from its founding until March 31, 2015.

He is one of the protagonists shown in the film Die 4. Revolution – Energy Autonomy, and with his enterprise one of the main sponsors of the film.

Together with his partner Fred Jung he was awarded 'Greentech Manager des Jahres' in 2009 by the German magazine Capital.

Willenbacher and Jung established the 100 percent renewable foundation in 2008. With this charitable foundation, the founders want to make a contribution to environmental protection by promoting the use of renewable energies. 

In June 2013, his book Mein immoralisches Angebot an die Kanzlerin appeared, in which he offered Angela Merkel to give away his company shares to Germany's 500 citizen energy cooperatives if the German Chancellor implements a 100 percent, decentralized energy turnaround by 2020. In the book Willenbacher outlines a relatively detailed master plan on how Germany can be supplied with 100 % electricity from renewable sources. Key points are an increase in the full load hours of wind and solar energy plants and a mix of energy sources from 60 % wind power, 25 % solar energy, 5 % hydroelectric power and 10 % combined heat and power plants that are to be operated from sustainable sources. 

As co-editor, together with Claudia Kemfert, Hartmut Graßl, Michael Müller and Gero Lücking, Willenbacher regularly wrote a column in the online magazine klimaretter.info until 2014. Among other things, he pleaded for true costs for fossil fuels and pointed to their hidden environmental costs, which in his opinion are not reflected in the production price for electricity generation. He called for a fuel tax for conventional power plants as an alternative to the ineffective emissions trading system in order to accelerate the energy turnaround:

    "This would finally allow conventional power plants to contribute adequately to the costs of environmental remediation, the safe disposal of radioactive waste and the fight against emission-related health damage. We will then use technology to create a better world: a world in which the energy supply is exclusively clean, with a mix of wind and solar energy, hydroelectric power, bioenergy and geothermal energy. A world in which energy prices are low and remain stable in the long term, because wind and solar energy are free and infinitely available everywhere."

According to Willenbacher, he is the first European to own a Tesla Roadster.

Alta A200. The Alta A200 was a three-wheel passenger car introduced in 1968, produced by  Alta, a Greek vehicle manufacturer. The car was largely based on the German Fuldamobil (licence produced in Greece by Attica), but it was an altogether more modern design. Powered by a Heinkel 200 cc engine, the car had modest success in the Greek market and was soon considered outdated. Produced until 1974, it is often cited as the last derivative of the Fuldamobil and is seen by many as a collectible item.

István T. Horváth. István T. Horváth (6 August 1953 – 7 March 2022) was a Hungarian American chemist, working on greener and more sustainable chemistry since its inception. In particular, he focuses on homogeneous transition metal catalysis and in situ spectroscopy. He was highly involved and very influential in the now enormous field of fluorous solvents and technologies.

Education
Horváth obtained his Diploma in Chemical Engineering (1977) and Ph.D. in Chemistry (1979) at Veszprem University in Hungary.

Career
Following his PhD, Horváth went on to spend time at Yale University as a Postdoctoral research associate (1982–1984), and as a Scientific Co-worker at ETH Zurich (1984–1987).  This was followed by a stint at ExxonMobil Corporate Research, Anandale, New Jersey (1987–1998).  He re-entered academia at the Institute of Chemistry in Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest (1999–2009), and then became a Chair Professor of Chemistry and the Head of the Department of Biology and Chemistry at the City University of Hong Kong.

Research
 his research lies in the conversion of biomass into platform chemicals, and the development of more sustainable fluorous solvent-based processes. He proposed that gamma-Valerolactone (GVL) exhibits the most important characteristics of a sustainable liquid and it can be used for the production of both energy and carbon-based consumer products. It was confirmed by isotope labeling that fructose can be converted to hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) then to levulinic acid (LA) and formic acid (FA) and finally to GVL in GVL as the solvent. He is also the editor of numerous books and other peer-reviewed publications in the fields of catalysis, green chemistry, and fluorous technologies.

Awards and honours
Horváth was made an Honorary Member of the Accademia Nazionale di Scienze, Lettere e Arti Modena in 2010.

He was elected Fellow of the American Chemical Society in 2014.

Sukhovey. Sukhovey (, translates to dry wind) is a wind with high temperature and low relative humidity occurring in the steppes, the semi-deserts and the deserts of Kazakhstan and the Caspian region.

The speed of sukhovey is usually moderate 5 to 20 m/s. Relative humidity is less than 30%. Sukhovey emanates from the periphery of anticyclones in summer predominantly with the intrusion of the tropical masses of air (analogous to khamsin, sirocco and other). At a high air temperature (20–25 °C and above) the sukhovey causes strongly increasing evaporation from the soils.

The low mobility of anticyclones causes the steady duration of the sukhovey over several days, which with the insufficient soil moisture causes drought, spoiling of the harvests of cereal and fruit crops, loss of plants. The warm and dry air masses originate above the deserts of Africa, Asia Minor, and also in South Kazakhstan, and with them sukhoveys are extended to the wooded plains of Russia and Kazakhstan, but more frequently they invade the semi-deserts and the steppes.

Historically, these winds have been a major impediment to large-scale sedentary agriculture in Central Asia.

Interest facts 
On 4 June 2014 sukhovey was registered in Moscow for the first time in last 60 years.
