Hélène Mallebrancke. Hélène Mallebrancke (3 March 1902 – 30 August 1940) was the first female Belgian civil engineer to graduate from the University of Ghent, and one of the earliest women engineers in Belgium. She was involved in the Belgian Resistance during the Second World War, keeping the Allied telecommunications networks in the Ghent region operational against huge odds. She was decorated posthumously by both the French government and the Belgian authorities.

Early life 
Hélène Mallebrancke was born on 3 March 1902 at Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, to Georges Mallebrancke, an engineer and Caroline Spijers

After studying at the lycée for young girls in Ghent, she passed the state exams, le Jury centrale in 1919. She then entered the State University of Ghent, where she graduated in 1924 as a civil engineer. Her father, Georges Mallebrancke, died on 27 November 1924. The following year she earned a diploma as electrical engineer with distinction.

Career 
In 1926, she joined the Belgian public telephone service, known from 1930 as the Régie des Télégraphes et Téléphones. By May 1940, she had become the chief engineer and was in charge of the Ghent region.

World War Two 
During the invasion of Belgium, although knowing that she had been seriously ill since the beginning of the year, she continued to work day and night in order to keep telecommunications operational in the Ghent region in support of the Allies of World War II.

Exhausted, she was admitted to the Marie-Médiatrice Institute in Ghent, where she died on 30 August 1940 at the age of thirty-eight.

When he learned of her death, Charles Huntziger, then Minister of War in the Government of Vichy France sent her mother the Croix de Guerre with palms and the citation based on that of the French Army:

In November 1946, by decree of the Regent, Charles de Belgique, she received the Belgian Croix de guerre with palms.

Ken Robinson (computer scientist). Kenneth ("Ken") Arthur Robinson (30 July 1938 – 5 September 2020) was an Australian computer scientist. He has been called "The Father of Formal Methods in Australia".

Early life and education
Ken Robinson was born in 1938. He received his BE degree in electrical engineering in 1959 and a BSc degree in physics and mathematics in 1961, both from the University of Sydney.

Career
Robinson worked at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) from 1965 to 2012, initially in the Department of Electronic Computation under Professor Murray Allen. During 1987–1989 he was Head of the Department of Computer Science and during 1996–2000 he was Head of the Department of Software Engineering. He held visiting positions in the United Kingdom at the University of Southampton (1978–79), the Programming Research Group at Oxford University as a visiting fellow at Wolfson College (1985–86), the Oxford University Computing Laboratory and B-Core (1999), and Royal Holloway College (University of London) and the University of Surrey (2003).

In 1971, Robinson's courses in computer science included ALGOL W (from Stanford University), WATFOR (a student version of FORTRAN from the University of Waterloo), Plago (PL/I for students, from Brooklyn), SNOBOL (from Bell Labs), and IBM System/360 assembly language. The latter used an assembler program written by Robinson since the IBM assembler was too slow for student use.

In 1974, the Department of Computer Science at UNSW had a PDP-11/40 minicomputer from Digital Equipment Corporation, used for teaching and administration. Ken Robinson wrote to Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs requesting a copy of the Unix operating system. This arrived in 1975, making UNSW the first university outside the United States to run Unix regularly.

Robinson's later research and teaching was especially centred around formal methods, particularly the B-Method, Event-B, and the Rodin tool.

Robinson designed the initial BE Software Engineering program at UNSW and with the program coordinator subsequently. He also initiated the BE Computer Engineering program. In 1990, he received the University of NSW Vice-Chancellor's Award for Teaching Excellence.

Personal life and death
Robinson died on 5 September 2020. He was married with a family.

ETAP 30. The ETAP 30 is a Belgian sailboat that was designed by Jacques de Ridder as a cruiser and first built in 1994.

Production
The design was built by ETAP Yachting in Belgium between 1985 and 1994, with 220 boats completed, but it is now out of production.

Design
The ETAP 30 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of polyester glassfibre-foam sandwich construction, with wood trim. The use of foam sandwich construction makes the boat unsinkable. It has a 7/8 fractional sloop masthead sloop rig with aluminum spars, a deck-stepped mast, wire standing rigging and a single set of swept spreaders. The hull has a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fin keel or optional shoal draft keel. It displaces  and carries  of cast iron ballast.

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

The boat is fitted with a Volvo 2002  diesel engine for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank has a capacity of .

The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settees in the main cabin, plus an aft berth on starboard side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The L-shaped galley is equipped with a two-burner stove, an  capacity icebox and a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin. The fresh water tank has a capacity of .

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of . It has a hull speed of .

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

A 2009 Yachting Monthly review stated, "In many people's view, this was the best yacht Etap produced – and although she lacks an aft cabin, she was far ahead of her time in many other respects, not least her easily-driven hull, designed by Jac de Ridder, which was streets ahead of most other 30ft cruisers when she was launched, in 1983. She handles delightfully on all points of sail and is still a fairly fast cruiser for her length by today’s standards. The hull’s high freeboard is effectively masked by a thick gunwale stripe and the low-profile cabin top gives her an almost racy appearance. Down below she has five sea-berths (or six at anchor), including a quarterberth, and a heads compartment amidships. The galley is spacious and seamanlike, and she has a very practical chart table. Etap's tendency towards short coachroofs means that headroom in the heads and forecabin is restricted but it is fair in other parts of the boat The standard of fit-out is good, with solid teak trim, but stowage, as always with these double-skinned yachts, is limited."

Coke Ovens (Colorado National Monument). Coke Ovens is a 5,962-foot-elevation (1,817-meter) linear set of pillars located in Colorado National Monument, in Mesa County of western Colorado, United States. This iconic landmark is situated on the west side of Monument Canyon, two miles south of the monument's visitor center, and  west of the community of Grand Junction. It is also one mile south of Kissing Couple, and both can be seen from viewpoints along Rim Rock Drive. It is so named because the rounded shape resembles beehive coke ovens that were used in the nineteenth century to convert bituminous coal into coke, which was then used for smelting iron.

Geology
This feature is the remnant of differentially eroded Wingate Sandstone, which consists of wind-borne, cross-bedded quartzose sandstones deposited as ancient sand dunes approximately 200 million years ago in the Late Triassic. The caprock at the top of one of the four pillars consists of fluvial sandstones of the resistant Kayenta Formation. The slope around the base of the Coke Ovens is Chinle Formation. The floor of the canyon is Precambrian basement rock consisting of gneiss, schist, and granites. Precipitation runoff from this geographical feature drains to the Colorado River, approximately four miles to the northeast.

Climate
According to the Köppen climate classification system, Coke Ovens is located in a semi-arid climate zone. Summers are hot and dry, while winters are cold with some snow. Temperatures reach  on 5.3 days,  on 57 days, and remain at or below freezing on 13 days annually. The months April through October offer the most favorable weather to visit.

Arne Halaas. Arne Halaas (born 20 September 1943) is a Norwegian profiled Professor emeritus in computer technology and telematics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Halaas was central in the development of the technology that led to Fast Search & Transfer ASA (FAST), which was later acquired by Microsoft for NOK 6.6 billion (or approximately $1.2 billion U.S.) on April 24, 2008.

Biography 
Halaas was Head of the Computer and Information Department at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim from 1982 to 1984, and from 1993 to 1994.

From 1981 to 1982 he was a visiting professor at the University of Kaiserslautern in Kaiserslautern, Germany. From 1994 to 1995 he was a visiting professor at the Laboratoire d'Informatique, de Robotique et de Microélectronique de Montpellier (LIRMM) at the University of Montpellier in Montpellier, France.

Since 1981 Halaas has been working on special purpose search engines which has led to the cofounding of the three companies Turbit AS (1987), Fast Search & Transfer ASA (1997) and Interagon AS (2002). His research in algorithm construction and parallel computing was fundamental in the founding of the companies. Interagon specialized in complex search tasks for bioinformatics, and has developed a super-fast microprocessor, a so-called Patent Matching Chip (PMC), for searching biological data to find disease genes and develop new medicines.
FAST later became a major global actor on search engines.

The acquisition of FAST has led to more than 1000 jobs in 25 different countries. In addition to making Trondheim Norway's search technology capital, as the acquisition has led several search companies, such as Yahoo!, Clustra, Microsoft and Google, to establish development departments in the city. His research has also led to collaborative solutions for more than 1 billion people in SharePoint and Office 365.

Halaas has since 1983 served on the editorial board of the VLSI Journal Integration and took part in establishing the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP).

In 2012 he was awarded a Rosing Honorary Prize and in 2014 he received an honorary award from the Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences.

MKE TAMGEÇ. MKE TAMGEÇ is a mine destruction system ( Mine-clearing line charge ) produced by MKEK, consisting of chain explosives attached to the back of a rocket.

When the rocket is activated, it follows a parabola course and the explosives attached to its back follow this course with it. When the rocket falls to the ground, explosives also fall to the ground at the level of a rope and explode when they come into contact with the ground. As a result, a pathway cleared of mines is opened.

MKE TAMGEÇ and MKE TAMKAR actively used by the Turkish armed forces and firstly used during operation Operation Euphrates Shield and Operation Olive Branch.
