Long March 12. The Long March 12 (), or Chang Zheng 12 as in pinyin, abbreviated LM-12 for export or CZ-12 within China, is a Chinese medium-lift launch vehicle carrier rocket built by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology. It is capable of placing at least 12 tonnes of payload in low Earth orbit and at least 6 tonnes in a 700 km Sun-synchronous orbit. Its first launch took place on November 30, 2024 from the Hainan International Commercial Aerospace Launch Site on Hainan island.

There is also a planned reusable version of the rocket, the CZ-12A; efforts are currently underway to verify stage-reusability technology via vertical take-off, vertical landing (VTVL) tests.

Overview 
On 26 February 2024, the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) released its annual "Blue Book" which detailed the company's launch plans for the coming year; one of the projects revealed in the Blue Book is the new Long March 12 medium-lift rocket.   Long March 12 (CZ-12) is designed as a two-stage rocket: its first stage is powered by four YF-100K 1250 KN engines using RP-1 and liquid oxygen while its second stage is powered by two YF-115 180 kN engines also using RP-1/LOX. The rocket offers two payload fairing choices, one with a diameter of 5.2 metres and another with a diameter of 4.2 metres.

CZ-12 has a stage diameter of 3.8 metres, a first for China. It is launched from the new commercial launch site located at China's coastal spaceport in Wenchang.

The maiden launch of the new rocket occurred at 14:25 UTC on 30 November 2024 from the Hainan International Commercial Aerospace Launch Site. There were two payloads on the launch: the “Satellite Internet Technology Test Satellite” and the “Technology Test Satellite-3”. Notably, this launch featured the new YF-100K rocket engine in its initial orbital launch attempt; the engine is a critical component of the under-development Long March 10 lunar rocket. In addition, the maiden launch of the CZ-12 also constitutes the debut launch from the new Hainan commercial launch site.

CZ-12A reusable variant
In the future, SAST plans to intrroduce a variant with a reusable first stage: the Long March 12A (CZ-12A). It is anticipated that the CZ-12A will use methane and liquid-oxygen rocket engines from commercial providers. As of early January 2025, SAST plans to launch a VTVL test-stage to a height of 75 kilometres in mid-January 2025; this test will simulate the launch and recovery of the first stage of the future CZ-12A.

IBM North Harbour. IBM North Harbour is the former headquarters of IBM in the UK. The site is now a larger business park, Lakeside North Harbour, and IBM is no longer present at the site.

History
IBM sold the main building in 2005. In November 2015 IBM sold two more buildings. In October 2024 IBM left the North Harbour site and moved its Headquarters to IBM Hursley.

Construction
The site was chosen in 1969, and drained during 1971 under direction of Grontmij N.V. of the Netherlands. In 1972 construction of the lake took place, directly bounded to the south by the construction of the M27 embankment. The foundations were built in 1973, with 30 m-deep piles. The building was formed with pre-cast concrete sections, built on the piles.

Structural engineering and architecture was by Arup Associates. It was built by Taylor Woodrow Construction. It cost £17.2m.

Opening
Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh opened the site on Friday 3 December 1976. The Prince had flown by aircraft, being met by William Harris, 6th Earl of Malmesbury, the Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire.

IBM also had ten acres at Interchange Park, a nearby manufacturing plant, which opened in 1967.

Visits
 Prince Philip attended a dinner at the site at 5pm on Friday 10 April 1992, representing the National Playing Fields Association

Structure
The site is accessed via the A27, at the terminus of M27. Cosham railway station is within walking distance, to the east. It is next to junction 12 of the M27.

A Porsche retail centre opened nearby in 2012, on the site. In 2012 three acres near Porsche were sold for a 124-bed hotel.

Electrofreezing. Electrofreezing is the tendency of a material to solidify upon being exposed to an external electric field. Electrofreezing was initially introduced by Dufour in 1892. Examples are the  electrofreezing of liquid ammonia supposed to be naturally occurring during electrical storms in Jupiter-like planets, and ice χ supposedly being a form of high pressure ice.

Depending on the material, freezing occur only at certain field intensities, above which electric fields are strong enough to induce chemical reactions.

Decauville factory in Aulnay-sous-Bois. The Decauville factory in Aulnay-sous-Bois (previously known as Société Lilloise, or colloquially La Lilloise) produced prefabricated narrow gauge railway track and rolling stock from 1914 to the 1950s in Aulnay-sous-Bois, France.

History 
The factory belonged to Etablissements Decauville ainé, a French manufacturer focussing on the production and sales of narrow gauge railway material. It was located on a piece of land that Decauville had acquired in 1914 in the Seine-Saint-Denis department of the Île-de-France region in the north-eastern suburbs of Paris. It focussed on tippers, i.e. V skip railway wagons and roadworthy dump trucks.

The factory was renamed to Société Industrielle d'Aulnay in 1946, enabling the company to win a major contract. At the factory Aulnay the last Decauville steam locomotives were built for the lignite mines of Yugoslavia.

B. John Garrick. B. John Garrick (March 5, 1930 – November 1, 2020) was an American engineer who contributed to the field of risk sciences, particularly in probabilistic risk assessment (PRA). He founded PLG, Inc., a consulting firm specializing in probabilistic risk assessment and management of technological systems.

Early life and education 
Garrick was born in Tintic, Utah, on March 5, 1930. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from Brigham Young University in 1952. His early career included a position as a physicist at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant, where he developed an interest in risk sciences related to nuclear power.

Garrick attended the Oak Ridge School of Reactor Technology for a one-year graduate course on nuclear energy. He later worked at the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, reviewing the safety of nuclear reactors. He pursued advanced studies at UCLA, earning an M.S. in Nuclear Engineering in 1962 and a Ph.D. in Engineering and Applied Sciences in 1968. His doctoral thesis focused on quantifying risk in nuclear power plants.

He died on November 1, 2020, at age 90.

Career 
Garrick founded PLG, Inc., a consulting firm specializing in probabilistic risk assessment and management. The firm conducted assessments for nuclear power plants, chemical plants, transportation systems, space systems, and defense systems. PLG was acquired in 1993, and Garrick retired in 1997 but continued to work as an independent consultant.

Research 
In 1981, B. John Garrick and Stan Kaplan published a paper in the journal Risk Analysis, formalizing the concepts of probabilistic risk assessment (PRA). The paper introduced the "risk triplet" as an answer to three questions: What can go wrong? What is the likelihood? What are the consequences?

Garrick authored numerous publications on PRA, including a book on "Quantifying and Controlling Catastrophic Risks."

Awards and recognition 
Garrick was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1993 for his work in making quantitative risk assessment an applied science. He served on several high-profile advisory committees and boards, including the U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Advisory Committee on Nuclear Waste.

Garrick's contributions to risk assessment and nuclear science earned him the 2019 W. Bennett Lewis Award for Sustainable Energy and Development from the American Nuclear Society. He was a fellow of the American Nuclear Society, the Society for Risk Analysis, and the Institute for the Advancement of Engineering.

Trixylyl phosphate. Trixylyl phosphate (TXP) is an aromatic phosphate ester. It was historically used as a flame retardant for acetate plastics (cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate) and PVC. It also saw significant use as a fire-resistant hydraulic fluid. 

Trixylyl phosphate is now banned or restricted in several jurisdictions, due to its poor safety profile. Short term exposure can cause organophosphate-induced delayed neuropathy, but it is also regarded as a reproductive toxin. In the EU is classified as a substance of very high concern, requiring authorisation to be used.

Synthesis
Trixylyl phosphate is prepared industrially by the reaction of phosphoryl chloride with mixed xylenols. In practise this produces a range of products.

David Lie Eide. David Lie Eide (21 March 1908 – 30 December 1998) was a Norwegian engineer, best known as the organizer behind the Grieg Hall.

He was a paternal grandson of Johan Wilhelm Eide, the founder of Bergens Tidende and  in Bergen. David Lie Eide graduated in machine engineering from the Norwegian Institute of Technology in 1931 and was hired in Bergens Jernstøberi. Following a period in the resistance movement during the German occupation of Norway, Eide was a candidate for the Liberal Party in the 1945 Norwegian local elections and was elected to Bergen city council. He was re-elected once and served until 1951. In his engineering career, he became managing director of Bergens Jernstøberi in 1941 and chief executive officer from 1948 to 1968. He also chaired the board of Bergens Tidende from 1953 to 1977.

The plans for a concert hall in Bergen, the Grieg Hall, lay dormant after the Second World War, and Eide came to lead the fundraising efforts as well as the construction plans to establish the hall. The outer building was ready in 1970, and the fully equipped concert hall was opened in 1978. In July 1978 Eide was decorated as a Knight, First Class of the Order of St. Olav for his role. He also received honorary tokens from Det Nyttige Selskab and Musikselskabet Harmonien. In late 1998, a portrait of Eide was unveiled in the Grieg Hall. He died shortly after, on 30 December 1998.

Markessini, which specializes in wood adhesive systems and related additives, providing also expertise and services as well as technical support for engineered wood products.

History 
In 1977, Andreas and Effy Markessini developed a patent for a new chemical product suitable for particleboards, resulting in lower costs for manufacturing plants and decrease in formaldehyde emissions. The invention was initially protected in Germany and later granted an international patent in forty countries.

In 1978, the precursor company of Chimar Hellas, named as MARLIT, was established. Over the years, additional patents for adhesives were developed and the company entered into collaboration with the German manufacturer, Bison Werke Bähre und Greten. New patents led to the application of novel chemical products, such as additives, catalysts, and hardeners.

In 1994, the company under its new name, Chimar Hellas, began developing technologies for the production of formaldehyde-based resins such as UF, MUF, and PF. Together with its subsidiaries MARLIT Ltd. and Adhesives Research Institute Ltd., the company laid the foundation for the ACM Wood Chemicals Plc corporate group. In 2002, Chimar Hellas fully absorbed ACM Wood Chemicals Plc.

Activities 
The company carries out industrial research and development and also provides competitive technology for making new adhesives and additives. It is also involved in the supply of equipment, turnkey construction, as well as the optimization of manufacturing plants for formaldehyde-based resins.
 
In 2013, Chimar Hellas S.A. received a key distinction in the European Business Awards for its activities.

The company's R&D department has participated in several research programs funded by the European Union, collaborating with international companies, wood product industries, and universities.

Chimar Hellas is currently directed by Effy Markessini's son, Charles Markessini (born 1979), who is a chemist and serves as the director of Research and Development, and Dimitris Alexandropoulos (born in 1957), a Greek senior chemical engineer, who is the CEO of the company.
