Downings Roads Moorings. Downings Roads Moorings is a mooring for barges on the River Thames near Tower Bridge that is home to a small community of houseboat dwellers in Central London. In 2003 and 2004, they were threatened with eviction by Southwark Council. The members of the community appealed. The then Mayor of London Ken Livingstone commented in a letter to Southwark Council that "The principle of retaining the moorings is supported by the London Plan policy 4C.19 and supporting text contained in paragraphs 4.117 and 4.118. The mix of uses proposed for these moorings should be seen as broadly acceptable in the context of a multi functional Blue Ribbon Network as long as there are appropriate amenity and environmental safeguards in place.". Their eviction was quashed in late 2004.

, the walkways between the moorings have been turned into a water-borne urban garden, known as the Floating Barge Gardens or Garden Barge Square.

Schoettler I. The Schoettler I was one of the first aircraft constructed in China, albeit with a German designer. It was a two-seat, single engine biplane, first flown in mid-summer 1923.

Design and development

In late 1923 Flight reported on what was claimed to be the first successful aircraft constructed in China. It was designed by the German engineer Leopold Carl Ferdinand Friedrich Schoettler (born April 7, 1881, in Bruchhausen-Vilsen, Germany; died September 27, 1948) but the only major components imported from Europe were the engine, instruments, wheels and dope for the fabric covering; everything else was locally produced from local materials by workers without aviation experience or modern machinery. Work on it began in the summer of 1922.

The Schoettler I was a conventional European style two seat tractor biplane, rather similar to the German Aviatik B.II and Albatros B.II designs, with equal span two bay wings. These were mounted with 2° of dihedral and 597 mm, almost 2 ft, of stagger.  The gap between the upper and lower planes was , maintained by parallel pairs of aerofoil section struts and wire bracing. The unswept wings had a constant chord of  with blunt wing tips and ailerons on both upper and lower planes.  The Schoettler's empennage was also conventional.

The fuselage was likewise a standard rectangular section wooden girder structure, fabric covered except around the engine and a wood upper decking around the open, tandem cockpits for pilot and for the observer, who sat under the wing trailing edge. It tapered to a knife-edge at the tail. At the front the  Mercedes water-cooled upright inline engine was enclosed in a rectangular cross-section metal cowling which tapered vertically, exposing the upper cylinders, to a two blade propeller. At the rear of the housing an external radiator, with shutters for engine temperature control, projected on each side. The Schoettler had a conventional fixed undercarriage, with the mainwheels on a rigid axle mounted on V-struts.

Flight does not report a first flight date, but this was on or before 23 July 1923 when the Schoettler  was test flown by an ex-RAF pilot, W.E. Holland.  The latter reported good handling and an excellent, 360°, field of view for the observer noting the aircraft's potential for development. More recent articles claim the first flight by a Chinese built aircraft was that of the indigenously-designed Xianyi Rosamonde (or Dashatou Rosamonde) on 12 July 1923, though without mention of the Schoettler; the two aircraft were evidently close contemporaries.

Vencore. Vencore, Inc. was a private defense contractor that serves the U.S. Intelligence Community, Department of Defense and other agencies. From 2010 to 2014, the company was named The SI Organization, Inc. (the SI). The SI provided full life cycle, mission-focused systems engineering and integration capabilities, according to its corporate website. Major locations include Chantilly (VA), Basking Ridge (NJ), Denver (CO), Laurel (MD), Los Angeles (CA), Red Bank (NJ), St. Louis (MO), and Valley Forge (PA). The company employed approximately 2,000 people. It is now part of Peraton.

History
The SI was founded in 1972 in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, as part of GE Aerospace, when a team of 60 engineers began providing systems engineering and integration services to the Intelligence Community. The System Integrator construct was conceived by the US Government to help implement a very large, complex, and expensive space-based national security program. Due to the success of the construct, the SI grew throughout the 1980s and 1990s, as part of Martin Marietta and later Lockheed Martin, expanding into Northern Virginia and Maryland. The SI was divested by Lockheed Martin in 2010 and acquired by private equity firm Veritas Capital.

In 2012, the SI acquired PhaseOne Communications, a company that provides strategic communications services. In 2013, the SI acquired Applied Communication Sciences. ACS has capabilities in cybersecurity and information assurance, network and operations, data analytics, advanced software and methodologies, wireless and mobility, application engineering and integration, smart grid, and optical networking and quantum technologies.

In October 2013, the SI was notified by the US Air Force Space & Missile Systems Center (SMC) that it had submitted the winning proposal for SMC's follow-on GPS SE&I contract, supplanting incumbent Leidos (formerly SAIC) on the program it had managed since 2007.

In 2014 the SI acquired QinetiQ North America, and soon thereafter, changed its name to Vencore.

In October 2017 it was announced that Vencore would merge with the U.S. Public Sector business of DXC Technology and with KeyPoint Government Solutions to create a new independent and publicly traded government contractor. The newly formed company was named Perspecta Inc. The merger completed and Perspecta began operations on June 1, 2018. On August 1, 2019, Perspecta acquired Knight Point Systems.

Upper American River Project. The Upper American River Project (UARP) is a hydroelectric system operated by the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) of Sacramento, California in the United States.

The system consists of 11 dams and eight powerhouses that tap the upper tributaries of the American River drainage in the Sierra Nevada for power generation. Total installed capacity is over 687 MW, producing 1.8 billion KWh annually, enough for 20 percent of the city's electricity needs.

The project mainly utilizes water from the South Fork American River and its tributaries, although some water is drawn from the Rubicon River, a tributary of the Middle Fork American River. Project dams provide water storage of about  and a total hydraulic head of  from the highest reservoir to the lowest powerplant outflow.

History
The UARP was authorized on August 28, 1957 by an act of the Federal Power Commission. SMUD began construction in September of that year, and the first power generation from UARP came online at Jaybird Powerhouse on May 1, 1961. Most of the project facilities were completed by 1967. The Loon Lake Powerhouse was completed in 1971, and Jones Fork Powerhouse was finished in 1985.

Environmental impacts include the prevention of fish passage by the project's dams, which segment parts of the upper South Fork American River, the Rubicon River and their tributaries.

Overview
Water is diverted from the Rubicon River to a storage reservoir, Loon Lake, from which it is released through the Loon Lake Powerhouse to Gerle Creek. This water is intercepted and diverted into Silver Creek, a tributary of the South Fork American River, flowing through the Robbs Peak Powerhouse into Union Valley Reservoir, the project's principal reservoir. Water from Ice House Reservoir also enters Union Valley via the Jones Fork Powerhouse.

From Union Valley, water flows through the Union Valley Powerhouse to Junction Reservoir, then through Jaybird Powerhouse to Camino Reservoir, both on Silver Creek. The water then enters a penstock that feeds the Camino Powerhouse above Slab Creek Reservoir on the South Fork American River. From there, water is sent through a final tunnel to White Rock Powerhouse, located on the upper end of Chili Bar Reservoir also on the South Fork.

Cliftonite. Cliftonite is a natural form of graphite that occurs as small octahedral inclusions in iron-containing meteorites. It typically accompanies kamacite, and more rarely schreibersite, cohenite or plessite.

Cliftonite was first considered to be a new form of carbon, then a pseudomorph of graphite after diamond, and finally reassigned to a pseudomorph of graphite after kamacite. Cliftonite is typically observed in minerals that experienced high pressures. It can also be synthesized by annealing an Fe-Ni-C alloy at ambient pressure for several hundred hours. The annealing is carried out in two stages: first a mixture of cohenite and kamacite is formed in air at ca. 950 °C; it is then partly converted to cliftonite in vacuum at ca. 550 °C.

The Campo del Cielo region of Argentina is noted for a crater field containing a group of distinctive iron meteorites.

Dough sheeting. Dough sheeting technology is used by (industrial) bakeries and rolls out dough into a (consistent) dough sheet with a desired even dough thickness.

Process
Dough is compressed between two or more rotating rollers.  When done the right way, a smooth and consistent dough sheet is produced. The dough then passes one or several gauging rollers (mostly on conveyors) that reduce the dough to the required thickness.  After this the dough sheet is shaped into a desired dough product. This technology is mainly used in industrial production machines for (semi) industrial bakeries and the food industry.  Most dough sheeters can handle a wide variety of dough depending on the machine manufacturer. Most commonly dough sheeting technology is used for the production of laminated dough products like croissants and pastries, but it is also suitable for the production of bread, flatbread and pizza.

Function
	Shape the dough from individual dough batch to continuous dough sheet
	Less damaging of the gluten network
	Laminate layers of dough together (no pocket proofers and dividers are necessary as the dough sheet is the base of every product).

Benefits
A big benefit for using sheeting technology is the large dough capacity that can be handled. Dough sheeting manufactures are able to process high quality dough sheets at high capacities.
Another benefit is that sheeting makes it possible to handle a great variety of dough types which traditional dough production systems can't handle, for example strongly hydrated wet and sticky ciabatta dough.

History
The origin of the dough sheeting process is not specifically traced back to at least 1977 in the case of Rademaker BV, who may be considered to be one of the earliest dough sheeting technology specialists.

Croissants and puff pastry were first products to have been produced with dough sheeting technology. Nowadays the bakery industry sees a trend that also includes the production of bread, flatbread and pizza products being produced with sheeting technology.

Sheep dip (computing). In IT security, a sheep-dip is the process of using a dedicated device to test inbound files on removable media for viruses before they are allowed to be used with other computers.

The name sheep-dip is derived from a method of preventing the spread of parasites in a flock of sheep by dipping the new animals that farmers are adding to the flock in a trough of pesticide.
The term has been applied to IT security since at least the early 1990s, though footbath was also used at the time. A sheep-dip system can be considered a special case of a sandbox, used to test for malware.

This sheep-dip protocol is a normal first line of defense against viruses in high-security computing environments, as it preemptively prevent the spread of viruses brought by new devices. IT security specialists are expected to be familiar with the concept.

The process was originally developed in response to the problem of boot sector viruses on floppy disks. Subsequently, its scope has been expanded to include USB flash drives, portable hard discs, memory cards, CD-ROMs and other removable devices, all of which can potentially carry malware.

Autodesk Lustre. Lustre is a color grading software developed by Autodesk. It runs on Autodesk Systems certified hardware, as Flame Premium, Flame and Smoke Advanced. It is part of the Flame Premium package.

History

Development
Lustre was originally a 5D product called Colossus, developed by Colorfront. After the demise of 5D in 2002, Autodesk  acquired the license to distribute the Lustre software, and later acquired Colorfront entirely.

Lustre originated as a plugin for Autodesk's Flame product under the name "Colorstar" to emulate film type color grading using printer lights controls. It was then developed as a standalone software.  It was introduced under the Colossus name in private demonstrations at IBC show in Amsterdam in 2001. Alpha and beta testing were held at Eclair Laboratoires in Paris.
During the trials, Colossus was running on the Windows XP operating system, but the same code base was also used on the IRIX operating system.

The original creators of Lustre are Mark and Aron Jaszberenyi, Gyula Priskin, Tamas Perlaki, Gabor Forgacs, Ferenc Bechtold.

Lustre is now integrated in the Flame Premium package.

Overview
The Lustre architecture uses CPU and GPU optimizations to obtain realtime playback on high resolution files, as required for digital cinema color grading.

The original control surface was the Tangent Devices CP100.  Later Autodesk developed the Autodesk Control Surface manufactured by Tangent Devices. Since version 2012, Lustre also supports the Tangent Device Element, which is used by many grading applications on the market.

Vaimos. Vaimos (Voilier Autonome Instrumenté pour Mesures Océanographiques de Surface) is an autonomous sailing boat with embedded instrumentation for ocean surface measurements.

Its goal is to collect measurements at the surface of the ocean. This robot is the result of a collaboration between ENSTA Bretagne and IFREMER. ENSTA-Bretagne (OSM Team) develops control algorithms and the software architecture, IFREMER (LPO+RDT) builds the mechanics, the embedded instrumentation.

Brest-Douarnenez. One of the longest trips the robot has done is Brest-Douarnenez where Vaimos has done more than 100 km in an autonomous mode. Since Vaimos has made trips more than 350 km long.

In 2013, Vaimos participated in the World Robotic Sailing Championship (WRSC) 2013 in Brest, France 

.

Control

The robot follows a desired trajectory which is a sequence of lines. When following a line, the robot has two modes. 
 the direct mode: the direction to be followed is consistent with the direction of the wind and the distance between the robot and its line corresponds to the GPS error (approx. 10 meters), 
 the tack mode: the direction to be followed is in the no-go zone and the distance to the line is less than 70 meters.

Two nested control loops are implemented in the computer of Vaimos. The first loop corresponds to a low level controller which tunes the rudder and the sail provided in order to have a desired heading. The second loop generates the desired heading to make the line to follow attractive. With this two loop control strategy, we have the guarantee that the robot will always stay inside the required corridor. This is illustrated the spiral experiment
 
where the robot has to follow a square spiral

. The proof that the robot will always stay inside its corridor can be performed using interval analysis and set inversion

. The proof assumes that the robot obeys to some uncertain state equations which is not always the case in practice.

Finnish Steam Locomotive Class A5. The Finnish Steam Locomotive Class A5 was a class of two locomotives, being the first class of locomotive manufactured in Finland. These first Finnish locomotives were production experiments, which allowed the State Railways to investigate the construction methods of locomotives. The State Railways locomotives ordered the construction of a workshop in Helsinki in 1868, at the same time 10 passenger locomotives were ordered from Great Britain for the St. Petersburg railway line (see Finnish Steam Locomotive Class C1). As a result, the locomotives produced in the Helsinki workshop were similar to those produced in Great Britain.

The British produced locomotives were built in 1869 while the first Finnish Locomotives were constructed in 1874 and 1875. The British locomotives set the design characteristics of the Finnish A3, A5  locomotives. The price of the domestically produced Finnish locomotives was almost 50% higher than the imported locomotives.

A5 No. 58 is preserved at the Finnish Railway Museum Until the 1920s it pulled passenger trains in southern Finland. In its last few years of operation it was also used for shunting. A5 locomotives were nicknamed "Lankkihattu" because they were similar to the A6 locomotives, which were had with brass steam domes.
