Zafer Kızılkaya. Zafer Ali Kızılkaya (born 1969) is a Turkish marine advocate and engineer who is credited for expanding marine protected areas (MPAs) along Turkey's Mediterranean coast.

Kızılkaya was born in Ankara in 1969. Growing up, he watched Jacques Cousteau documentaries which inspired his admiration for the sea. He has a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from Middle East Technical University. After graduating from college, Kızılkaya took interest in commercial deep sea diving and underwater photography. He took his interests to the Pacific Ocean and spent many years exploring its waters while being a marine photographer and researcher in Indonesia. He went on to receive a master's degree in Coastal and Harbor engineering from Middle East Technical University.

Kızılkaya's efforts to advocate and protect Turkey's coast stemmed from Turkey's marine ecosystem being under serious threat and facing a lot of damage due to several different factors like Climate change, illegal fishing, as well as overfishing and an increase in tourism. The Mediterranean sea is known to be the most over fished sea in the world. Kızılkaya had hopes to transform Turkey's ravaged marine regions into more effective and developing conservation areas.

Kızılkaya was awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2023, given annually to six environmentalists who work in different continents. Kızılkaya is the first Turkish recipient from of the prize.

Currently, he is the president and co-founder of an NGO named "Akdeniz Koruma Dernegi" ("Mediterranean Conservation Society" in Turkish). This NGO focuses on protecting and restoring the marine ecosystems on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey.

PJ-II Dreamer. The PJ-II Dreamer is a two-seat, mid-wing monoplane. Propelled by ducted fans, the aircraft features a tandem seat layout with dual controls, a retractable landing gear, and a composite construction.

Details 
The Dreamer aircraft uses a special type of propulsion system called a dual ducted fan. This system gives it similar handling to a jet engine but is cheaper and less complicated to operate. Unlike propeller-driven planes, it doesn't have torque or P-factor issues, which are forces that can make the aircraft harder to control.

The aircraft is powered by a single General Motors LS6 5.7-liter V8 engine, which is liquid-cooled and produces 388 horsepower. There's also an option for a more powerful 450 horsepower engine.

The Dreamer can reach a top speed of 218 mph and has a cruising speed of 187 mph. It can handle forces up to +4.4 g and as low as -2.2 g which allows the aircraft to perform some aerobatic maneuvers.

HP Kayak. Kayak was a line of x86-based, optionally dual-processor workstation computers released by Hewlett-Packard from 1997 until the acquisition of Compaq in 2002. The Kayak line was aimed at the scientific computing and professional 3D graphics markets and came preinstalled with Windows NT.

History
Hewlett-Packard introduced the Kayak line in September 1997, alongside their Brio line of small office/home office desktops. Models in the Kayak line initially featured Intel's Pentium II processors; later models featured Pentium II Xeons, Pentium IIIs, Pentium III Xeons, and Pentium 4s. The Kayak line was introduced expressly to compete with Compaq, then the largest global manufacturer of personal computers, in the scientific computing and professional 3D graphics markets—particularly with Compaq's Professional Workstation line. The Kayak served as HP's introduction to the Wintel workstation market; they had previously only catered to the Unix set with their RISC-based 9000 line of performance workstations.

HP came to dominate the Wintel workstation segment with the Kayak by the turn of the millennium. However, in late 2001, they were eclipsed by Dell and their Precision workstations. In Europe, HP rebranded the Kayak as the HP Workstation with their x4000 model in 2001. By 2002, HP followed suit in the United States.

Biafran Research and Production. Biafran Research and Production or Research and Production (RAP) was a scientific and engineering research institution of the Republic of Biafra that researched and manufactured military technology for the Biafran Armed Forces during the Nigerian Civil War.

RAP was founded in April 1967 by Biafran scientists at the University of Biafra (now University of Nigeria) to independently manufacture weapons and technology that were difficult for the Biafran military to acquire from abroad due to the Nigerian blockade of Biafra. Technologies produced by chemists included incendiaries, smoke signals, detonators, napalm, primers, rocket fuels, cocktails, and bombs. Engineering groups produced grenade and rocket casings, mortar shells, bullets, and armored vehicles.  One of the best known weapons was Ogbunigwe, a family of highly effective explosive devices that killed thousands of Nigerian soldiers in a single blast. Scientists at RAP additionally experimented with the development of chemical and biological weapons.

RAP allowed Biafra to unexpectedly fight an extended war against the Soviet and British-backed Nigerian military, while Biafra received comparatively little international military aid.

The weapons and vehicles produced by RAP are on display at the National War Museum, Umuahia.

Beneteau 523. The Beneteau 523, also called the Oceanis 523, is a French sailboat that was designed by Groupe Finot as a cruiser and first built in 2001. With a list of optional equipment as standard, it was sold as the Oceanis Clipper 523.

Production
The design was built by Beneteau in France, starting in 2001, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Beneteau 523 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. The hull is solid fibreglass and the deck is balsa-cored. It has a fractional sloop rig and aluminium spars. The hull has a slightly raked stem, a reverse transom with a swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by dual wheels and a fixed fin keel with a weighted bulb or optional shoal draft keel. It displaces  and carries  of ballast.

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

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 2GMF Yanmar 2GM20 diesel engine of  for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds  and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .

The design was built with a range of interior configurations. Typical is one with sleeping accommodation for eight people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a forward cabin with a double island berth, a U-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main salon and two aft cabins, each with a double berth. The galley is located on the starboard side of the main salon. The galley is Z-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner stove, a refrigerator, freezer and a double sink. A navigation station is aft of the galley, also on the starboard side. There are four heads, one for each cabin.

The design has a hull speed of .

Operational history
In a 2006 Cruising World review, Jeremy McGeary wrote, "under sail, the Beneteau 523 reveals its racing genealogy, making an effortless 8 knots or so in the 12 to 15 knots of breeze we encountered on Chesapeake Bay and showing no inclination to fight the helm. The inboard sheeting, aided by shroud bases in the middle of the side decks, helped the boat tack easily through 90 degrees. Given the wholesome traveler, the full-battened mainsail, and the 7-foot-6-inch draft (a 6-foot-2-inch draft is an option), a crew intent on making the anchorage by lunchtime would have no problems."

In a 2006 review for Sail magazine, Bill Springer concluded, "the 523 shows that a new boat design doesn't have to be revolutionary to be effective. Its lines are pleasing, traditional, and nonthreatening. The accommodation plan makes excellent use of the available interior volume (especially in the master cabin)—not by reconfiguring a traditional layout, but rather by skillfully executing subtle refinements and enhancements. The boat is manageable enough for a cruising couple and big enough to accommodate three cruising couples. Its long waterline and light displacement promise good speed potential."
