Engineer Terrain Intelligence Unit. The Engineer Terrain Intelligence Regiment is a regiment of the South African Army Engineer Formation. The unit is based in Pretoria, Gauteng. It is responsible for providing the cartography needs of the South African Army.

History
Engineer Terrain Intelligence Regiment is the amalgamation of 4 Survey and Mapping Regiment and 1 Military Printing Regiment.

47 Survey Squadron
47 Survey Squadron was established in 1975 with a mandate to deliver mapping of foreign countries used by soldiers. 47 Survey Squadron produced the reproduction material used in the maps of foreign countries, the RSA border and military training areas.

47 Survey Squadron was relocated from Germiston in 1994.

1 Military Printing Regiment
1 Military Printing Regiment was established in 1975 with a mandate to deliver mapping to soldiers. 1 Military Printing Regiment was responsible for the printing of the maps.

1 Military Printing Regiment was relocated from Koedoespoort in 1994.

Amalgamation
The new Terrain Intelligence Regiment is a combination of these two units with a clear mandate to provide operational geographical support to clients within the DOD in the specific fields of mapping, surveying, navigation, terrain negotiability, printing and operational photography. 
The new Terrain Intelligence Regiment underwent changes in terms of technology, upgrading and this will enhance the service.  The unit deploys internally and externally with the mobile operational geographic squadron that can provide the same capabilities as the static unit stationed in Pretoria.

Fülöppite. Fülöppite is a rare member of the plagionite group, comprising heteromorphite Pb7Sb8S19, plagionite Pb5Sb8S17 and  semseyite Pb9Sb8S21.  It was named in 1929 for Dr. Béla Fülöpp (1863–1938), a Hungarian lawyer, statesman and mineral collector.

Structure  
Fülöppite forms a homologous series with other members of the plagionite group. The structures of these minerals differ by the thickness of a galena sheet which occurs in all of them. Fülöppite has the thinnest such sheet.

Crystallography 
There are four formula units (Z = 4) per unit cell, and it has sides of lengths a = 13.44 Å, b = 11.73 Å and c = 16.93 Å, with the angle between  and  being β = 94.7°.

Crystals are short prismatic parallel to [201], up to 3 mm long, or pyramidal.  They are striated on {100} parallel to [00] and on {12} parallel to [110].  Forms which have been observed include (001), (100), (01), (112), (111), (23), (11) and (21).  Curved crystals are common.  The numbers in brackets are Miller indices.

Appearance 
The crystals are short prismatic and pyramidal, with a lead-grey colour that may tarnish to steel-blue or bronze-white.  The streak is reddish grey.  The crystals are opaque, with a metallic lustre.

Physical properties 
Fülöppite is opaque.  A petrographic microscope can be used to examine opaque materials under reflected polarised light.  Under these conditions the mineral shows moderate anisotropism, changing colour from blue-green to red-brown.  The reflectivity of a surface is the percentage of incident light energy that is reflected.  It varies with the medium above the surface, such as air or oil, and with the wavelength of the incident light. The reflectivity of fülöppite in air for light of wavelength 540 nm is 31.9% to 40.1%.

The mineral is brittle with an uneven fracture.  It is soft, with a Moh's hardness of only , and heavy, with specific gravity 5.2.
It melts easily in an open tube yielding sulphur fumes and a deposit of Sb2S2.  It is not attacked by concentrated hydrochloric acid.

Occurrence 
The type locality is the Dealul Crucii Adit, Baia Mare, Maramureș County, Romania, and the type material is kept at the Natural History Museum, London, England, reference 1929,248.
It is of hydrothermal origin and associated with zinkenite, semseyite, fizélyite, andorite, freieslebenite, geocronite, boulangerite, jamesonite, cinnabar, sphalerite, marcasite, quartz and dolomite.
Fülöppite was first reported in Britain from Wet Swine Gill, Caldbeck Fells, Cumbria. It was described as dark grey metallic patches of fibrous crystals accompanying stibnite.  Subsequently, rare dark red resinous to submetallic crystals associated with stibnite were identified as being close to fülöppite in composition.

YF-115. The YF-115 is a Chinese liquid rocket engine burning LOX and kerosene in an oxidizer-rich staged combustion cycle. A high efficiency/high thrust environmental-friendly rocket engine was always an objective within Programme 863. Development began in the 2000s, along with its sibling, the bigger YF-100, which would power the LM-5, LM-6 and LM-7 boosters and first stages. Testing was directed by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) commencing in 2005. Development works are mainly carried out by the Xi'an Aerospace Propulsion Institute. It will be used as upper stage engine for China's next generation of medium and light environmental-friendly launch vehicles, namely the Long March 6 and the Long March 7. During early 2012, the engine system successfully passed vacuum testing. It is China's first upper stage rocket engine to adopt the staged-combustion cycle.

In the LM-6 upper stage it will use a single YF-115 with gimbaled mount. While the LM-7 upper stage will use four such engines. But in this latter case, two engines will be fixed and two will be gimbaled.

Lattice model (biophysics). Lattice models in biophysics represent a class of statistical-mechanical models which consider a biological macromacromolecule (such as DNA, protein, actin, etc.) as a lattice of units, each unit being in different states or conformations.

For example, DNA in chromatin can be represented as a one-dimensional lattice, whose elementary units are the nucleotide, base pair or nucleosome. Different states of the unit can be realized either by chemical modifications (e.g. DNA methylation or modifications of DNA-bound histones), or due to quantized internal degrees of freedom (e.g. different angles of the bond joining two neighboring units), or due to binding events involving a given unit (e.g. reversible binding of small ligands or proteins to DNA, or binding/unbinding of two complementary nucleotides in the DNA base pair).

GE UM12C. The UM12C is a type of diesel-electric locomotive manufactured by GE for Southeast Asian rail operators. It is currently in service with the State Railway of Thailand. It was also operated by the Manila Railroad Company and the Philippine National Railways from 1956 until 1999. While the units for both companies feature a shovelnose layout, the MRR locomotives were single-ended and had a cowl unit cab, the SRT locomotives are double-ended cab forward units.

MRR/PNR 2000 class

The Manila Railroad Company (MRR) announced the dieselization of its locomotive fleet in 1954. GE Transportation was selected as the supplier of diesel-electric locomotives. The agency bought fifty units in which thirty were streamlined mainline locomotives and twenty were switchers. Twenty of these were the UM12C road switcher model MRR 2000 class. These were some of the first locomotives to feature the cowl unit design.

The locomotives were introduced to the MRR in 1956. Along with the cab unit 1000 class, they formed the mainline locomotive fleet in Luzon until the late 1970s and the early 1980s. Starting in 1973, a newer GE Universal Series type numbered the PNR 900 class was introduced on mainline passenger services. Due to its popularity on services such as the Amianan Express and the Bicol Express, it eventually replaced the 1000 and 2000 classes from passenger service. The 2000 class continued service until January 1999 and the remaining units were immediately scrapped.

State Railway of Thailand
The State Railway of Thailand purchased 50 units of a meter gauge version of the UM12C. Unlike the Philippine version, it features a dual cab layout with a cab forward design. As of 2015, 45 units remain in service with the SRT.

Tower to the People. Tower to the People - Tesla's Dream at Wardenclyffe Continues is a 2015 documentary film directed by Joseph Sikorski about Nikola Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower. The film documents the history and subsequent decline of the Wardenclyffe complex designed and built by Tesla in Shoreham, New York, as the main laboratory and facility for his experiments on wireless power transmission.

Sikorski focuses his documentary on the role of J.P. Morgan, one of the main investors behind the project, claiming Morgan pulled his support after realizing free wireless energy would hurt his own business interests. Tesla could not find additional investments and in 1906 the project was abandoned and never became operational. After over a century of decay, the tower site was rescued by a successful fundraising campaign and will be converted into a museum – the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe – honoring the legacy of the Serbian American inventor.

The film builds on Fragments from Olympus, a feature and original screenplay about Tesla's life written by Joseph Sikorski and Michael Calomino which received a "best screenplay" award at the Long Island International Film Expo in 2010.

The distribution of the documentary was supported by a crowdfunding campaign hosted on Indiegogo and by an appeal published by comics writer Matthew Inman, who also features in the film. On October 4, 2014 the documentary premiered at the New Yorker Hotel in New York City, the same place where Tesla died in 1943. Director Jim Jarmusch, Tesla's great grandnephew William Terbo, the Consul General of Serbia Mirjana Zivkovic were among the guests. The official release date in the United States is October 4, 2015.

Mining and Chemical Combine. The Mining and Chemical Combine is a nuclear facility in Russia. It was established in 1950 to produce plutonium for weapons. It is in the closed city Zheleznogorsk, Krasnoyarsk Krai. The company is currently part of the Rosatom group.

The site had three underground nuclear reactors using cooling water from the Yenisei river: AD (1958), ADE-1 (1961) and ADE-2 (1965). ADE-2 was shut down in 2010 in accord with the 1997 Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement (Plutonium Production Reactor Agreement) with the United States. It also provided heat and electricity for the area, which was its main function after 1993.

The complex has an interim storage facility. There is also a 60 t/year commercial mixed oxide (MOX) fuel fabrication facility (MFFF). It employs 7000 people.

The MOX production line completed a 10 kg batch in September 2014.

The city has a Mining and Chemical Combine museum.

Shock construction project. Shock construction projects () also Komsomol shock construction projects was a Soviet propaganda term used for certain construction projects by Komsomol shock brigades in the Soviet Union.

Although often associated with Komsomol, shock construction projects in more general term also included the Great Construction Projects of Communism.

The first Komsomol shock construction project was announced for the blast furnace #2 (later became known as "Komsomolskaya") at the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works in 1930–32. The last construction project was an air converting rolling mill for hot rolling at the same Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works in 1986–90.

The hire of volunteers for the projects was conducted in a framework of the state system of organizational mobilization, but more often through Komsomol mobilization by Komsomol travel tickets. One of active participants of the 1950s-80s construction projects were student construction brigades under a patronage of Komsomol. In 1980s the status of regional shock construction projects was granted to Youth Residential Complexes (MZhK).

Lewis Bandt. Lewis Thornet Bandt (26 February 1910 – 18 March 1987) was an Australian car designer, most famous for designing and building the first ute (coupé utility) cars in the 1930s.

Early life
Bandt was born the eldest of five children in the South Australian town of Moonta.  The family moved to Adelaide after World War I, and in 1924 he began a fitting and turning apprenticeship with Duncan & Fraser Ltd who specialised in modifying Model T Fords.

He moved to Victoria in 1927 and worked for the Melbourne Motor Body & Assembling Company. In 1929 he moved to the Ford factory in Geelong as the subsidiary's first designer.

Ute design
The design of the ute was a result of a 1932 letter from an unnamed Victorian farmer's wife asking for "a vehicle to go to church in on a Sunday and which can carry our pigs to market on Mondays". In response, Bandt developed the ute and the model called a "coupe utility" at the time was released in 1934. When the Australian version was displayed in the US, Henry Ford nicknamed it the "Kangaroo Chaser". A convertible version, known as the roadster utility was produced in limited numbers by Ford in the 1930s.

Later career
During World War II, Bandt helped to design long-range fuel tanks for Spitfire and Thunderbolt fighter planes.  He also worked on design innovations for the UK-sourced Ford Zephyr, the 1967 Australian Ford Fairlane, and the never-approved Falcon convertible, of which six were built outside Ford in 1962.

Personal life
Bandt married Nellie Rowe on 6 September 1941.  He was a lifelong member of the Methodist (later Uniting) Church.  He was known for his charity work.  Lewis and Nellie had three daughters: Sylvia, Val and Ros.  Later in life he also had four grandchildren: Brad, Tate, Eden and Joe.  He was an accomplished artist, and painted Ford’s nativity scene at Christmas.
He retired in 1975.

Death
Bandt was killed on 18 March 1987, while coming home from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation television studios where he had been recording a documentary about the ute. He was driving a 1934 model home when he collided with a truck near Bannockburn.  He was survived by his wife and three daughters.

In 2008, the Lewis Bandt Bridge, which crosses the Moorabool River as part of the Geelong Ring Road, was opened and named in his honour.

John T. Fanning. John Thomas Fanning (1837–1911) was an American architect and hydraulic engineer. His contribution to fluid mechanics and hydraulic engineering is in the Fanning friction factor which is used by engineers in the present age to calculate the frictional pressures losses in flows inside pipes.

Biography
Fanning was born in Norwich, Connecticut on December 31, 1837. In 1861 he enlisted, and participated in the United States Civil War with the rank of colonel, until his discharge. After the war, he returned to Norwich, soon establishing an office for the practice of engineering. There he married M. Louise Bensley on June 14, 1865, and they had three children.

In 1872 he moved to Manchester, New Hampshire, to design that city's new municipal water system. By 1877 he established a second office as an architect.  By 1885 he had begun to get several commissions in the west, warranting a move to Minneapolis. He served in many professional capacities as a hydraulic engineer, including consulting for many railroads.

After his move from Manchester, he did not practice as an architect again.

He died in Minneapolis on February 6, 1911.
