Western Airplane King Bird. The Western Airplane King Bird, named after the tyrant flycatcher (Western) Kingbird, was a 1920s US civil transport accommodating three passengers in open cockpits. Only one was built.

Design and development

The King Bird was a single bay biplane with wings of rectangular plan. The areas of the  upper and lower wings were equal but the lower span was  greater as they were attached to the fuselage rather than joined directly. They were braced together by inward-leaning, parallel pairs of interplane struts and supported over the fuselage on short, inverted-V cabane struts, producing a  gap with  stagger. Only the lower wing was set with dihedral (3°). Ailerons on upper and lower wings were externally interconnected.

The King Bird's fuselage had a welded steel tube structure, with the engine on a bolt-on forward frame so that various types could be fitted. The prototype was equipped with a readily available Curtiss OX-5, a , water-cooled V-8. Each bank of cylinder heads had its own cowling and long exhaust pipes extended away from and below the fuselage. There were two open cockpits, each with bench seats for two, the forward one under the upper trailing edge. It was normally flown from the port side, rear seat but a second set of controls could be added to the other rear seat for pilot training. The elevator was ground adjustable, though production aircraft would have offered an in-flight adjustable option. The rounded, balanced rudder also had a steel tube structure.

The King Bird's fixed undercarriage was conventional for the time, with wire-spoked, rubber-tyred wheels on a single axle which was mounted on short main legs with trailing drag struts.

Operational history

The King Bird was first flown before February 1927. By then it had been flown by several pilots, who commented on its good handling and quick rate of climb after take-off. Despite the good reports, only one was built.

Lin Zonghu. Lin Zonghu (; 13 May 1933 – 21 December 2019) was a Chinese thermal engineer and professor at Xi'an Jiaotong University. Known for the "Lin formula" which is widely used in two-phase flow measurements, he was elected an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

Early life 
Lin was born on 13 May 1933 in Huzhou, Zhejiang, Republic of China. When the Second Sino-Japanese War broke out in 1937, his family sought refuge in the Shanghai International Settlement.

Education and career 
In 1951, Lin tested into the mechanical engineering department of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. When Chen Xuejun established China's first university major in boilers, Lin entered the program as the country's first graduate student in the field. He completed his graduate studies in 1957 and joined the faculty of the university.

In 1957, part of Shanghai Jiao Tong University was relocated to Xi'an in western China to form Xi'an Jiaotong University. Lin followed his advisor Chen Xuejun and most of the mechanical engineering department and moved to Xi'an, where he spent most of his career. A year later, he led a team at Shanghai Boiler Factory to develop China's first once-through boiler.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Lin spent three years researching gas-liquid two-phase flow measurements, and published his findings in the International Journal of Multiphase Flow in 1982. His research established the "Lin formula" which has been widely used in two-phase flow measurements.

From 1980 to 1982 Lin was a visiting professor at the University of Miami in the United States. He became a full professor of Xi'an Jiaotong University in 1985 and a doctoral advisor in 1990. He advised more than 50 graduate students, including , an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In 1991 Lin was awarded a special pension by the Chinese government for distinguished academics. He was elected an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 1995. He was awarded the State Natural Science Award (Third Class), the State Science and Technology Progress Award (Second Class), and nine minister- and provincial-level science and technology prizes.

Death 
Lin died on 21 December 2019 in Xi'an, aged 86.

Niagara Junction Railway. The Niagara Junction Railway (reporting marks NJ, NIAJ) was a switching railroad serving Niagara Falls, New York.

History 
The company was created in 1898 as a subsidiary of the Niagara Falls Hydraulic Power and Manufacturing Company. In 1913 the line was electrified. In 1948 the Niagara Falls Power Company sold the railroad to its connecting companies: the New York Central, the Erie, and the Lehigh Valley. After a series of mergers in the 1960s, the Niagara Junction was finally dissolved as an independent company in 1976 when the Consolidated Rail Corporation was formed to take over operations of bankrupt railroads in the Northeast. The line was dieselized in 1979. After over a year of storage, three electric locomotives were overhauled in December 1980 and transferred to Grand Central Terminal in New York City.

Incidents 
Just after 9:30 am on Wednesday 22 January 1958, a tank car exploded while being switched at the Niagara Junction's yard on Porter Road. The blast injured at least 60 people, and left a crater  in diameter and  deep. The cause was never determined.

South Branch Rahway River. The South Branch Rahway River flows north north through Woodbridge Township, New Jersey before entering the Rahway River in Rahway, New Jersey, 4.5 miles from the Arthur Kill. Its source is the Roosevelt Park lake in Edison, New Jersey.

The South Branch is subject to both tidal and fluvial flooding. With coastal surges, the Rahway River can cause backflow into the South Branch as far as St. Georges Bridge in Woodbridge. Outflow from the south Branch to the main channel is inhibited by the "U" shape turn in the Rahway River and six bridge constrictions within a mile.  The South Branch has an 11.6 square mile drainage area from "intensely developed portions" of Rahway, Edison, Woodbridge and Metuchen. Repeated "flashy" fluvial flooding in this river is a consequence of urbanization with impervious surfaces exacerbated by downstream channel constrictions, stream bank decay and steep hills. Fluvial flooding is felt to be the major component of flooding.
