Faradair Aerospace BEHA. The Faradair Aerospace BEHA is a sustainable hybrid-electric aircraft design currently under development in the UK.

Development
The BEHA is a hybrid-electric utility aircraft currently under development at Duxford Airfield in Cambridgeshire, UK and the University of Swansea in Wales. BEHA is an acronym for Bio-Electric-Hybrid-Aircraft. The aircraft has evolved from early concept launched in 2014 to an 18 seat FAA part 23 regulation aircraft design that is to be powered by twin Magni500 electric motors developed by MagniX in a contra-rotating pusher propfans ducted fan configuration. The electric motors are to be powered by a Honeywell Turbogenerator running either Sustainable Aviation Fuel or JetA.
The aircraft has a Triple Box-wing configuration in all carbon composite construction and is also now supported by Nova Systems in the prototype development, Cambridge Consultants in the hybrid powertrain development. 

In July 2020, Faradair announced a move to Duxford Airfield in Cambridgeshire from its original Cirencester base, to form part of the new Duxford Avtech aerospace development programme. A new prototyping hangar is to be built at the historic airfield with the company announcing partnership with Imperial War Museum Duxford and Gonville & Caius College as part of the relocation.

The company plans to have a prototype completed by 2024 and begin operational trials by 2026, however, as of November 2024, no announcement of a protoype being built or commenced has been forthcoming.

Bryan Bartley. Bryan Allen Bartley  (30 November 1928 – 24 March 2015) was a New Zealand civil engineer and inventor. He developed the Barmac crusher with fellow engineer Jim Macdonald.

Early life and family
Born in the Auckland suburb of Epsom in 1928, Bartley was the second son of Wilma Amy (née Slattery) and George Frederick Bartley, a pharmacist. He studied civil engineering at Auckland University College, graduating with a Bachelor of Engineering in 1950 or 1953.

Career

After graduating with a degree in engineering, Bartley worked at the City Engineer's Office for Auckland City Council. Bartley was employed by Winstone Aggregates and in the 1960s was instrumental in that company purchasing what is now its main quarry, Hunua Quarry near Papakura. He was one of the founders of the New Zealand branch of the Institute of Quarrying, and in 1989 served as the Institute of Quarrying's first international president. Initially working at Winstone for nine years, Bartley spent two years working for Gammon Construction in Malaysia, returning to Winstone from 1963, eventually becoming the general manager and working at the company for a further 22 years.

In 1970, Wellington engineer Jim Macdonald built the prototype for a new vertical shaft impactor for creating construction aggregate. Over a period of eight years, Bartley and Macdonald developed the prototype into a viable commercial machine that became known as the Barmac crusher after its two creators. The pair licensed the manufacture of their crusher around the world, and sold the business in 1994. By 2003 over 3500 Barmac crushers had been sold worldwide, the largest rated at 800 kW, and it has been used on projects including the Three Gorges Dam in China. The original Barmac crusher, machine number 1, is preserved at the Kiwi Point Quarry in Ngauranga Gorge, Wellington.

Bartley also developed and patented a new self-feathering yacht propeller with John Blundell.

In the 2000 New Year Honours, Bartley was appointed an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to engineering and the community.

Heli-Sport. Heli-Sport srl (also called CH-7 Heli-Sport srl) is an Italian aircraft manufacturer based in Turin, founded by the Barbero brothers, Igo, Josy and Charlie. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of helicopters in the form of kits for amateur construction.

The company was founded in 1989 as EliSport and renamed Heli-Sport in 1997. It is a Società a responsabilità limitata (Srl), an Italian limited liability company.

The company produces a line of helicopters, all based upon the Argentine Cicare CH-6 designed by Augusto Cicaré. It was developed by Josi and Claudio Barbero and sports car designer Marcello Gandini, who designed the new, enclosed cabin. The aircraft was introduced in 1992 as the Heli-Sport CH-7 Angel. This was developed into the tandem two-seat Heli-Sport CH-7 Kompress in 1997, the Heli-Sport CH-7 Kompress Charlie in 2005 and the CH-7 Kompress Charlie 2. The two seats in side-by-side configuration Heli-Sport CH77 Ranabot was a further development of the same basic design.

The CH-7 Kompress Charlie 2 won a bronze medal at the World Air Games in Turin in 2009. Another Charlie 2 was flown to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh in 2010, from France across the Atlantic Ocean.

Straight-Through Quality. Straight-Through Quality (STQ) are approaches and outputs of test automation that have quality and deliver business benefit. STQ takes its name from the business concept of straight-through processing (STP). Also acting as a tool and enabler for STP.

Traditional techniques for testing and delivery have often required a great deal of manual support and intervention. These approaches are subject to human error, cost of delay and lack of reuse. These also have the negative side-effect of being unable to deliver 'fail-fast' approaches, which have proven popular with Agile practitioners. Previous traditional approaches have been typically expensive where whole silo'ed departments are created within commercial companies to deliver Quality and Deployment alone. Thus STQ as an approach hopes to resolve this problem.

Examples 

Tangible examples of STQ approaches in the software industry are present and often known as continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD). These combined can ensure that software delivery is integrated, automatically tested and ready for automatic delivery at any time. Together CI/CD can enable STQ which can be used as Business output terminology for business users who do not understand the technical complexities of CI/CD.

STEM.org. STEM.org aka STEM.org Educational Research is a privately-held, American company headquartered in Southfield, Michigan. It conducts STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) research and credentialing services.

History
STEM.org was initiated from a community outreach project in southwest Detroit, by Andrew B. Raupp in 2001. The organization has expanded its mission beyond initial activities it referred to as project “Initiative Science", establishing a global presence in over 80 countries. Notably, it provided framework for the 2005 STEM Congressional Caucus at the request of Congressman Vern Ehlers.

STEM.org Educational Research is recognized for its detailed and comprehensive contributions to the field of STEM education. Its research has been cited by institutions such as the Smithsonian Science Education Center, reflecting its influence on contemporary STEM education discourse. STEM.org emphasizes the linguistics of STEM, distinguishing the educational framework from its individual disciplines. It also provides resources to help stakeholders craft localized and adaptable definitions of STEM education, aligning with community-specific needs and contexts.

Research
STEM.org developed  a global quality assurance protocol focused on STEM education. It leverages blockchain technology to secure the credentials it issues, which are denoted as 'STEM Trustmarks,’ by securing each achievement on the Bitcoin distributed ledger for enhanced authenticity and trust.

The organization has carried out a five-year study concerning K-12 STEM schools, using a proprietary regression analysis, which was featured on the cover on the Newsweek. The research activities extend into the development of a quality assurance assessment framework, applicable to a wide array of stakeholders within STEM including individuals, educational programs, publishers, products and students. This is part of its commitment to decentralize STEM education, introducing distinct classifications like STEM-accredited (for schools), STEM-certified (for instructors), STEM-reviewed (for publishers), STEM-authenticated (for products) and STEM-endorsed (for students).

Droids (role-playing game). Droids is a role-playing game published by Integral Games in 1983.

Description
Droids is a science-fiction robot role-playing game. The rules cover construction of droids (i.e., character creation), combat, droid society, encounters, and scenarios. The player characters are robots trying to survive after humanity destroyed their world.

Publication history
Droids: The Cybernetic Role-Playing Game was designed by Neil Patrick Moore, and published by Integral Games in 1983 as an 80-page digest-sized book.

Reception
Tony Watson reviewed Droids in Space Gamer No. 64. Watson commented that "Droids fails as an RPG.  A role-playing game requires more than a character generation system and rules for combat. Where the booklet might have some real applicability is as a design system for robots for existing SF RPGs such as Traveller and Star Frontiers. The rules provided for designing droids and the comprehensive listings of components are very good, but as an independent role-playing game, Droids is wide of the mark."
