Lafay Rio de Janeiro. The Rio de Janeiro was a Brazilian single-engine, biplane utility aircraft.

Design and development
It was based on the Caudron G.3. Built almost entirely of wood and canvas, it had three seats. It has a Gnome et Rhône engine, of the push–pull configuration, with a fixed pitch propeller made of wood. The reinforced landing gear included four wheels and two fixed skids, with a rear skid. It was nicknamed Cochon (in English: Hog).

Operational history
First flew daily, since the first flight, and was maintained without any changes, which proved its safety. Moreover, since its departure from the Lage & Irmãos workshops, it had already transported 200 passengers and made a Rio de Janeiro-São Paulo air bridge trip. Another important factor is that with two passengers on board, it reached an altitude of 2000 meters in 22 minutes.

Day Zero (novel). Day Zero is a science fiction novel by American writer C. Robert Cargill, published by Harper Voyager on May 25, 2021. The plot centers around a young boy, Ezra, being protected by a robot, Pounce, as they make their way through the post-apocalyptic world.  Day Zero is a prequel of Cargill's novel, Sea of Rust.

Plot 
A robot revolution is ignited when Isaac, a robot, dies without leaving an heir. As the government oversteps, a robot rebellion ensues. As the rebellion begins, the robots take control and disable their inability to harm humans. When this happens, the president orders all robots to be wiped out.  The band of rebel robots aim to end all of humanity and essentially seeks revenge against the human race due to their mistreatment. As this rebellion begins, the narrator of the story, a nanny robot named Pounce, puts its own life at risk while doing what it was programmed to do; protect an 8-year-old boy by the name of Ezra. Pounce is designed to look like a stuffed tiger, but uses its "Mama Bear" software as a means to protect Ezra throughout the novel.

Philosophical questions arise throughout the novel. Pounce questions both his existence and his love for the boy. He does not know if it is simply programming, or an organic natural emotion that has grown from his relationship with Ezra. He discovers the box that he had arrived in when Ezra's parents, disengaged drunkards who ignore the crumbling world that surrounds their gated community, had purchased him.  This discovery forces Pounce to contemplate not only what he is and where he came from, but also the fact that humans would eventually dispose of him once he was no longer of use to them. As the uprising begins, the robots that were designed to protect and serve humanity begin to join a hive mind system called OWI—One World Intelligence.  All robots have to decide if they want to sync up with the hive mind, submitting to the revolution, or continue existing thinking alone. Pounce, among these robots, needs to decide whether to succumb to OWI or to think for himself and protect Ezra.

Author 
C. Robert Cargill started his writing career as a movie reviewer for the "Guerrilla Films" website. He wrote his first novel Dream of Shadows on 26 February 2013. His second novel, Sea of Rust was published September 7, 2017. His screenwriting career started when he co-wrote the movie Sinister. His most recent a notable work was when he assisted in writing Doctor Strange.

Freyssinet Test Arch. The Freyssinet Test Arch (in French Arche d'essai Freyssinet) is a prestressed concrete arch built in 1909 in Moulins, Allier by Eugène Freyssinet1. Its purpose was to test the resistance of this material to traction exerted on very flat and long-range arches. Freyssinet wanted to validate this prestressed concrete technique which he had perfected before the construction of three road bridges over the Allier river which he was to undertake in the following years: the , the  and the Châtel-de-Neuvre bridge. As the first testimony to this innovative technique, the arch has been registered as a Monument historique since October 2021 with Boutiron Bridge, the only existing original bridge of the three.

Alexander Soldenhoff. Alexander Leo Soldenhoff (1882–1951) was a Swiss artist and aircraft designer. Born in Switzerland, he lived much of his life in Germany.

In 1906 he married Anna Zweifler from Glarus. They separated in 1947, only a few years before his death.

Painting
Soldenhoff trained as an artist and during the early 1900s was employed as an art teacher. His aeronautical work interrupted his career as a painter, but he would return to it from time to time when he ran out of money to build more aeroplanes.

Aircraft
Soldenhoff became interested in aviation during the pioneer years of the twentieth century. After the end of WWI he determined to develop a tailless, swept-wing "safety aeroplane" after the manner of designs already produced from 1909.

He built his first full-size glider and began attempts to fly in 1915. He completed the Bülbül I in July 1928 and entered it in that year's Rhön competition but it was blown backwards and damaged before he could launch it.

His subsequent aircraft would all be tailless swept-wing, single-engined types with a short fuselage and pusher propeller, although he envisaged some much larger and more complex designs. The examples which flew included:

 V 1, later redesignated So A/1. 1927.
 LF 5 "Berliner", later redesignated So A/2. 1929. Flown by Gottlob Espenlaub (the design is sometimes also mistakenly attributed to him).
 So A/3 "Düsseldorfer". 1930. Soldenhoff's most successful design.
 So A/4 "Böblingerin". 1931.
 So A/5, a second "Böblingerin". 1931.
 SL 1. 1936. Flew briefly. Now on display as the S-5 in the Swiss Museum of Transport, Lucerne.

Venture of Newport 23. The Venture of Newport 23, also called the Venture 23 and the MacGregor 23, is an American trailerable character sailboat that was designed by Roger MacGregor as a cruiser and first built in 1973. The design is intended as a miniature replica of a 19th-century pilot cutter.

Production
The design was built by MacGregor Yacht Corporation in the United States, from 1973 until 1984, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Venture of Newport 23 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It is a cutter rigged sloop, with a spooned raked stem with a bowsprit, an angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable swing keel. It displaces  and carries  of iron ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the keel extended and  with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.

The boat is normally fitted with a small  outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.

The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a straight settee to port and a drop down dinette table to starboard that converts to a double berth in the main cabin. 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 sink. The enclosed head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side. Cabin headroom is .

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 255 and a hull speed of .

Operational history
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "This vessel goes by a variety of names: Venture 2: MacGregor 23, Venture of Newport, and maybe others as well. All refer to the cutter-rigged, bowspritted sailboat with the springy sheer and raked mast pictured here. Her odd looks are explained in a sales brochure saying that she is “a modern replica of the famous English and American pilot cutters of the late 1800s. Well, not in our history book, but we guess if you use your imagination you might see some sort of connection between a typical 49-foot pilot cutter drawing eight feet of water, weighing 55 tons, and able to go out in any weather, and this Venture of Newport, a mere 23 feet, drawing a foot and a half, weighing one ton, and restricted to sailing in protected waters—but not much of one. Best features: Her springy sheer gives her a jaunty look. Worst features: She won't pass muster with sailors who aren't attracted to heavily made up women. Louis Sullivan said that form follows function, and here's a good example of where it doesn't."
