Théodore Moutard. Théodore Florentin Moutard (27 July 1827 – 13 March 1901) was a French mining engineer who worked at the École des Mines and contributed to mathematical geometry. The Moutard transformation in inverse geometry is named after him.

Moutard was born in Soultz, Haut-Rhin, to Florentin and Elisabeth BERNOU. He was educated at the École Polytechnique and graduated in 1846 and entered the École des Mines and after graduating in 1849 he joined the Mining corps but was discharged in 1852 as he refused to take the oath required following the overthrow of Napoleon III. He joined back in 1870 and became a professor of mechanics at the École des Mines in 1875. He was also an examiner for the École Polytechnique from 1883. Moutard contributed to the La grande encyclopédie and his mathematical work was on algebraic surfaces and differential geometry. He collaborated with Victor Poncelet on elliptic functions.

He was made Commander of the Legion of Honor in 1899. Moutard married twice and had two sons and two daughters. One of his sons was Douard Julien Moutard (1877-1948). One daughter Berthe married the mathematician Hermann Laurent. A daughter from his second marriage, Elisabeth married André Bujeaud, a politician and photographer, in 1868.

Seaward 46RK. The Seaward 46RK is an American sailboat that was designed by Nick Hake as a cruiser and first built in 2012.

Production
The design was built by Hake Yachts in the United States, starting in 2012, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Seaward 46RK is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig; a plumb stem; an open, walk-through, reverse transom; twin transom-hung rudders controlled by a wheel and an electrically actuated lifting keel with a weighted bulb. The boat has a wheelhouse with duplicate electronic helm and engine controls, as well as a navigation station. It displaces  and carries  of ballast.

The design has a draft of  with the keel extended and  with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water. The bulb keel fully retracts into a recess in the hull, allowing the boat to be beached.

The boat is fitted with a two Japanese Yanmar  diesel engines or a single Yanmar  turbo diesel 4JH4-TE for docking and maneuvering, with the propellers protected by skegs. The fuel tank holds , the fresh water tank has a capacity of  and the holding tank has a capacity of .

For sailing downwind the boat may be equipped with a roller furling asymmetrical spinnaker on the forward forestay and a self-tacking jib on the aft forestay. The mainsheet is mounted on a stainless steel arch.

The design has sleeping accommodation for eight  people, with a queen-sized double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a main cabin dinette table that drops down to form a double berth and two aft cabins each with a double berth. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove, refrigerator, freezer and a double sink. There are two heads, one just aft of the bow cabin and one on the starboard side aft.

The design has a hull speed of .

Operational history
In a 2013 review by Mark Pillsbury for Cruising World, he wrote, "throughout, workmanship appeared top notch. If your sailing grounds include shallow bays and sounds or if you dream, say, of the Bahamas' turquoise waters, the Seaward 46RK might just do the trick."

A 2014 review in Sail Magazine, by Peter Nielsen concluded, "though it’s certainly capable of offshore cruising, the 46RK’s natural environment is the shallow waters of the East Coast, Florida Keys and Bahamas. With a minimum draft of well under three feet, it will out-gunkhole most cruising catamarans and open up cruising grounds that are otherwise out of reach. Its very quirkiness is a big part of its appeal."

Seidelmann 25. The Seidelmann 25 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Bob Seidelmann as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1977.

Production
The design was built by Seidelmann Yachts in Berlin, New Jersey, United States, starting in 1977, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Seidelmann 25 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or optional shoal draft keel. It displaces  and carries  of ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard keel and  with the optional shoal draft keel.

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

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. The portable-type head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. Cabin headroom is .

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 216 and a hull speed of .

Operational history
The boat was at one time supported by a class club, the Seidelmann Owners.

In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "best features: The S25's wide beam gives good space down below (though not as much as her comp[etitor]s). Worst features: Some owners complain about poor construction. With its relatively narrow waterline and soft bilges, the boat is tender in heavy air unless there is plenty of 'rail meat' on board."

Françoise Briand. Françoise Briand (; born 20 April 1951) is a French politician who was Member of Parliament for Essonne's 7th constituency from 2008 to 2012.

Biography

Origins and Family Life 

Françoise Briand was born on 20 April 1951, in Paris.

Professional career 

Françoise Briand worked as a research engineer (secretary) in social sciences at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences). In the French civil service, a "research engineer" is a civil servant primarily assigned to public institutions with scientific, cultural, and professional purposes, as well as scientific and technological public institutions (EPST), the Ministries of Agriculture, Culture, and National Education.

Political career 

Françoise Briand was elected as an opposition municipal councilor in Viry-Châtillon during the 2001 municipal elections on the Union for French Democracy (UDF) list led by Catherine Granier-Bompard, which received 45.81% of the votes in the first round. In the 2007 legislative elections, she served as the substitute for Jean Marsaudon, who won the seventh constituency of Essonne with 52.04% of the votes. In the 2008 municipal elections, she was second on the Nouveau Centre - UMP list, which was defeated with 46.32% of the votes in the first round. She resigned the day after the defeat. When Jean Marsaudon died on 18 September 2008, she became a deputy herself. In the 2012 legislative elections, she was defeated by her opponent from Europe Ecology – The Greens (EÉL V) with 46.10% of the votes. This was a very negative result in a constituency that had always remained right-wing since its creation.

She ran as a candidate (supported by the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP)) in the 2014 municipal elections but only received 20.26% of the votes in the first round, behind incumbent mayor Simone Mathieu (Left Party) with 24.47%, and significantly behind Jean-Marie Vilain (Ainsi va la ville association) with 40.20%.

GwL. The GwL class vans of the Royal Bavarian State Railways were goods vans built for branch lines in the Kingdom of Bavaria in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Procurement 
The branch lines in Bavaria were generally known as Lokalbahnen, literally "local railways", and were of particularly light construction entailing the use of lightweight rolling stock. Between 1884 and 1906, 258 vans of the class GwL were built for this purpose in a number of batches each with a different designation.

Description 
The GwL class were covered vans which had the appearance of Lokalbahn coaching stock, including similar lettering. The vans were had open platforms at both ends. Access to the loading area was either via a pair of hinged doors or a single door in the centre of the side walls. On either side of the doors was a window. The wheelbase of the earliest vans was 3.63 m, but was later increased to 3.8 and eventually 4.5 m. The overall length also increased from 8.224 m to 8.624 m.
