Gaumard Scientific. Gaumard Scientific is a Miami, Florida-based company that creates simulators for major teaching hospitals and nursing schools, medical military training and emergency medical services. The company traces its history to 1946 and has 300 employees.

A World War II trauma physician who explored the use of simulators for battlefield surgery founded Gaumard Scientific and developed the company's first product, which was a synthetic human skeleton used to replace the use of actual human skeletons in medical training programs.

The company manufactures simulators and training devices in the following categories:
 Birthing simulators
 Examples: Victoria (birthing simulator), Noelle

Victoria (birthing simulator)

The Noelle S2200 ("Victoria") is a full scale healthcare education simulator produced by Gaumard Scientific that simulates a mother in labor.
The Noelle line of simulators including the Victoria model can reproduce events seen during a full-term or premature delivery.  Delivery can be programmed to mimic many situations from a normal vaginal birth to a C-section.  Complications including breech presentation, shoulder dystocia, maternal bleeding or umbilical cord prolapse can also be simulated. Healthcare personnel can thus hone their skills addressing serious situations that may not occur frequently before working with real patients. 
Victoria is tetherless and contains a rechargeable battery that can operate Victoria for about 8 hours as she is moved through a continuum of care.  Additionally, actual medical equipment, such as a fetal monitor, a pulse oximeter and a blood pressure monitor can be used directly on Victoria.

Sea Venom (missile). Sea Venom is an Anglo-French lightweight anti-ship missile developed by MBDA to equip the French Navy and the Royal Navy. The missile is known as Anti-Navire Léger (ANL) in France and Sea Venom (formerly "Future Anti-Surface Guided Weapon (Heavy)") in the United Kingdom. While initial operating capability had been expected with the Royal Navy in 2022, it was reported in 2023 that, due to "on-going integration challenges", the Royal Navy's Wildcat helicopters would only achieve full operational capability with the missile in 2026. The first test launch, from an AS365 Dauphin helicopter of the French DGA, was successfully conducted on 21 June 2017.

Design
Sea Venom is designed as a successor to the French Navy's AS 15 TT and Royal Navy's Sea Skua missiles. When in service, Sea Venom will equip Eurocopter Panther and NH90 helicopters in the French Navy and Wildcat helicopters in the Royal Navy. Due to shared characteristics with its predecessors, MBDA claims Sea Venom will be able to readily integrate onto platforms that are already carrying Sea Skua and AS 15 TT.

Much like its predecessors, Sea Venom is designed to attack surface targets, such as fast in-shore attack craft ranging in size of between 50 and 500 tonnes, as well as larger surface targets of up to corvette size. With its 30 kg warhead, the missile is also capable of inflicting significant damage to larger vessels through precision aim point selection, and can also attack static land-based targets. Whilst its precise range is currently unknown, MBDA has stated that the missile has a "long" stand-off range enabling it to be launched from beyond the reach of most modern air defence systems. The missile is capable of several attack modes including sea skimming and "pop up/top attack." Sea Venom uses an infrared seeker with the option of "man in the loop" track-via-missile guidance via data-link; the high speed two-way data-link transmits the images "seen" by the seeker back to the operator, enabling them to remain in control of the missile throughout its flight in addition to having an autonomous engagement capability.

MBDA is also working on a surface-launched variant of the missile.

History
The Royal Navy declared Sea Venom an initial operating capability in May 2021 when it deployed them as part of United Kingdom Carrier Strike Group 21 on its maiden deployment to the Pacific. The missile equipped four Wildcat HMA2 helicopters embarked on the strike group's accompanying destroyers. However, in 2023 it was reported that integration challenges were ongoing and, as a result, full operating capability would be delayed until 2026. In October 2024, a Royal Navy Wildcat helicopter conducted a test-firing of the missile.

The British share of the lifetime cost of the system was given as £945 million in 2022.

Gun tunnel. A gun tunnel is an intermediate altitude hypersonic wind tunnel that can be configured to produce hypersonic flows at roughly 30 to 40 km altitude. This uses a piston for isentropic compression. The hypersonic facility at IISC Bangalore, India has a high enthalpy gun tunnel, which can produce Schlieren imaging and produce up to 8 megajoules of energy. Using a piston can be very tricky due to reflecting of shocks. At the facility, they use aluminium diaphragm to produce shocks and paper diaphragm to avoid shocks and pass through the hypersonic chamber. The pressure used is significantly higher like 30 times the atmosphere.

Alexander Russell (electrical engineer). Alexander Russell, FRS (15 July 1861 – 14 January 1943) was a Scottish electrical engineer and educator.

He was born in Ayr, Scotland and educated at Glasgow University (gaining an MA in Mathematics and Physics) and Caius College, Cambridge. He was later (in 1924) awarded a doctorate.

After teaching mathematics at Cheltenham College and the Oxford Military College, he took a post at Faraday House, in Southampton Row, London, which had been newly founded to train electrical engineers. In 1909 he became the Principal, a position he held until 1939. There he pioneered the sandwich course, whereby students had a year or so in the classroom and then experienced work in industry before returning to the classroom. He also wrote a number of articles for the journal Electrician which he later published in book form.

He acted as President or vice-President of a number of societies, including the presidency of the Physical Society in 1922–24 and of the Institute of Electrical Engineers in 1923. In 1924 he was also elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, his citation acknowledging that he was "Distinguished for his knowledge of alternating current phenomena, inductances and electrostatics."

In 1940 he was awarded the Faraday Medal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers.

He died in 1943 after a long illness. He had married Edith, the daughter of H.B.Ince, MP, and had a son and a daughter.

Radio Operator Badge. The Radio Operator & Air Gunner's Badge () is a commonly accepted title for the Luftwaffen-Fliegerschützen-Bordfunker-und Bordmechanikerabzeichen (Combined Air Gunner, Radio Operator and Flight Engineer Badge). It was a German military decoration awarded to radio operators, air gunners, and mechanics (flight engineers) who were members of the German Air Force (Luftwaffe). This is given after they completed two months training or had taken part in at least five operational flights. If wounded during an operational flight, the badge could be awarded and worn earlier. Later in June 1942, a separate badge was introduced for air gunners and flight engineers. That badge had the same qualifications.

Description 
The badge came into existence in 1935. It was to be worn on the lower section of the left breast side of the tunic, below the Iron Cross. The badge was oval in shape and had a silver-plated outside wreath around the rim. The middle of the wreath had a national eagle "flying from left to right in a downwards direction"; clutched in its claws were two crossed arrow-head lightning bolts. The polished eagle was also silver-plated, but made of "oxidized old-silver" giving it a different shade of color than the polished wreath. The right side of the wreath was composed of laurel leaves and the left side of oak leaves. A Nazi swastika was at the bottom middle of the outside wreath. The badge was originally made of aluminum. However, it was made only of a simple metal alloy during the latter stages of World War II. There was a cloth version of the badge for Luftwaffe N.C.O.'s. The officer's cloth version was made of "silver bullion".

On 22 June 1942, a separate Air Gunner's and Flight Engineer's badge () was introduced. It was awarded after an air gunner, mechanic (flight engineer), or aircrew meteorologist completed the same criteria which was required for this badge.

Green Model Town. Green Model Town is a private housing project straddling the boundary between Demra and Mugda Thana Khilgaon Thanas of Dhaka District, Bangladesh. Main entrance is Manda which is situated at Dhaka South City Corporation including ward 71,72,73.  It is being developed by Amin Mohammad Lands Development Limited (AMLDL), a subsidiary of Amin Mohammad Group.

History 
In 2005, the housing project, among others, was subjected to allegations of illegal business practices and land grabbing. The project was one of the 77 housing development initiatives that the High Court declared illegal in June 2011. However, in 2012, it received approval from the Ministry of Housing and Public Works.

In September and July of 2023, the company has been fined a total of  by the Dhaka South City Corporation for allowing mosquito larvae infestation to occur within the project area.

Geography
Green Model Town is located at . It is bounded on the south by the Matuail landfill and waste treatment plant, and on the west by Manda Khal, a canal into which the landfill discharges its effluent. Houses built on pillars encroach on the canal area, and are even built in the middle of the canal. With no access by land, the latter are reachable only by boat.

Recreation 
An area adjacent to a wetland near Green Model Town experiences significant overcrowding by visitors on weekends, which locals have dubbed "Mini Cox's Bazar". The area has seen the emergence of children's play areas, mini amusement parks, fairs, and restaurants, with occasional kayaking facilities available on the wetland.

Controversies 
The housing project have faced allegations of fraud and environmental damage. The project was accused of filling in canals and reservoirs, occupying land illegally, and selling plots with fake documents. Despite residents' protests and a High Court order, RAJUK, the responsible organisation, has not taken any action against the project. The residents claim to have lost their land and are facing difficulties due to the project's activities. Developed illegally, leading to the destruction of wetlands, flood plains, cropland, and rural homesteads, the scheme was found to be in violation of the Private Housing Development Act 2004 and the conditions of the Detailed Area Plan.

Air Gunner Badge. The Air Gunner's and Flight Engineer's badge () was a German military decoration awarded to air gunners, mechanics (flight engineers) or aircrew meteorologists who were members of the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) after they completed two months training or had taken part in at least five operational flights. If one was wounded during an operational flight, the badge could be awarded earlier. For Luftwaffe members who were air gunners and mechanics (flight engineers) this badge replaced an earlier separate badge which had been introduced back in 1935. The qualifications for the two badges were the same for recipients.

Description 
The badge came into existence on 22 June 1942. It was to be placed on the lower part of the left breast side of the tunic, below the Iron Cross. The badge was oval in shape and had a silver-plated outside wreath around the rim. The middle of the wreath had a national eagle in flight. The polished eagle was also silver-plated but made of "oxidized old-silver" giving it a different shade of color than the polished wreath. The right side of the wreath was composed of laurel leaves and the left side of oak leaves. A Nazi swastika was at the bottom middle of the outside wreath. The badge was originally made of aluminum, however, in the latter stages of World War II it was made of aluminum, zinc or metal alloy. There was also a cloth version of the badge which could be worn on a flight jacket.

An earlier separate decoration known as the Radio Operator and Air Gunner's badge was introduced previously in 1935. It was awarded after a radio operator, air gunner or mechanic (flight engineer) completed the same criteria which was required for this badge. The difference between this 1942 badge with the prior 1935 badge is that the in-flight national eagle was not clutching in its claws the two crossed arrow-head lightning bolts which represented the radio operator.
