MS A Galeotta. MS A Galeotta, is a French RoPax operated by Corsica Linea. She was built at Cantiere Navale Visentini in Porto Viro, Italy. She was put in January 2023 on the Marseille–Corsica route. A Galeotta is the first RoPax in service between Marseille and Corsica to be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG).

History
The vessel was ordered by Corsica Linea on 25 July 2019 to Cantiere Navale Visentini in Porto Viro. This is the first vessel with mixed diesel/LNG, and also the first new built RoPax ordered by the Corsican company. The project, known as P355, was designed by the Trieste-based studio Naos Ship Design and interiors by Studio Ancora.

The vessel was launched on 20 September 2021 and left the shipyard on 28 August 2022 year to reach Trieste, where the last interventions were carried out at the Fincantieri shipyards for the sea trials carried out in the following weeks. Once the sea trials were completed, A Galeotta was berthed at the  passenger terminal in Venice to complete the final stages of the fitting out. The final delivery took place on 6 December 2022. A Galeotta entered service on 10 January 2023 on routes from Marseille to Bastia and Ajaccio.

Snellius-class hydrographic survey vessel (1950). The Snellius class was a ship class of two hydrographic survey vessels that were built in the Netherlands for the Royal Netherlands Navy. They were specially designed to be able to conduct surveys under tropical conditions.

Design and construction
The two hydrographic survey vessels of the Snellius class were built at different shipyards in the Netherlands. Snellius was built at the shipyard of  in Rotterdam, while Luymes was built at the shipyard of Gusto in Schiedam.

Both ships of the Snellius class were equipped with a single 40 mm gun, two 20 mm guns, two depth charge throwers and a single mousetrap. Furthermore, they had two 6-cylinder four-stroke Stork diesel engines that could deliver up to  each, for a total of .  This allowed them to reach a maximum speed of .

For surveying the ships were equipped with several systems. They had echo sounders that could reach a depth of  and a sonar that could record unevenness on the sea floor as long as the sea floor was within a distance of  below the ship. Furthermore, a Decca positioning system was installed.

Service history
Between 1952 and 1962 the vessels of the Snellius class mostly performed surveys in Dutch New Guinea. However, during the heightened tensions in 1962 they were also used as patrol ships in Dutch New Guinea. At the end of 1962 Snellius and Luymes left Dutch New Guinea. 

Between 1965 and 1969 the survey vessels were active in Suriname and mapped the whole Surinamese continental plate and all the estuaries.

Between 1970 and 1973 Snellius and Luymes alternately participated in an international oceanographic survey that was conducted in the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and the waters between the northern part of South America and the estuary of the Amazon River.

In the 1970s both ships were deemed obsolete and in need of replacement. As a result Luymes was decommissioned in 1973, while Snellius was decommissioned in 1977 after having served as lodging ship between 1973 and 1976.

Boulevard Works. Boulevard Works is a Grade II listed building on Radford Boulevard, Nottingham.

History
Boulevard Works is the largest surviving tenement lace factory in Nottingham, dating from 1883. It was built for George Henry Perry and Sons and comprises a 5 storey building, plus basement and attic. It had capacity for 234 standings of Levers lace making machines.

In 1894, Perry purchased the clock from the Nottingham Guild Hall for £9  () with the intention of installing it in the boulevard works. 

The building was extended in 1896 to the west with an addition by Lawrence Bright. This addition was used for the manufacture of curtain lace.

In 1945 the building was converted from steam power to electrical power. From the circa 1963 to the 1990s it was occupied by Marathon Knitwear. Following industrial use the building was converted into student accommodation and is now the Cotton Mills Student Village.

Roderick Jackson. Roderick Jackson is an American engineer and inventor who is based at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Whilst working at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Jackson oversaw the demonstration of a fully 3D-printed house with solar panels that could wirelessly power a 3D-printed car.

Early life and education 
Jackson's father, Louis Jackson, built houses. Jackson recalls spending his childhood as a member of his father's construction business. His mother, Gwen Jackson, was involved with the Civil rights movement, and attended the March Against Fear where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered a speech in Canton, Mississippi. He grew up in Mississippi. He was awarded a Graduate Education for Minority Students (GEM) Fellowship, which inspired him to become an engineer. Jackson completed his studies at the Georgia Institute of Technology. After earning his undergraduate degree, he returned to Mississippi to help his father set up a construction company. He completed his graduate studies while running the business. He eventually returned to pursue doctoral research, where he explored carbon nanotubes for organic electronics.

Career 
In 2009, Jackson joined the Buildings Technology Research and Integration Center at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), where he was responsible for buildings and systems. He established Alabama's Smart Neighbourhood, the first project in the Southern United States that connected homes to a microgrid. He contributed to an Additive Manufacturing Project, AMIE, which demonstrated a 3D printed house that, using solar panels, could power a 3D printed vehicle. The house and car were printed with one of the largest 3D printers in the world, ORNL's Big Area Additive Manufacturing Machine. He created vacuum insulation panels that provided the same thermal insulation as commercially available materials at half the cost.

In 2017, Jackson joined National Renewable Energy Laboratory, where he is Program Manager for the Building Portfolio. At NREL, he was mentored by Johney Green, another GEM alumnus, who serves as Laboratory Director for Mechanical and Thermal Engineering Sciences. Jackson was appointed to the Advisory Board of the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy in 2021.

Cyhexatin. Cyhexatin, also known as tricyclohexyltin hydroxide is an organometallic compound of tin with the chemical formula .

Properties
Cyhexatin forms colorless crystals or white crystalline powder. It is practically insoluble in water. The powder is wettable by water.

Reactions
Cyhexatin is stable in aqueous suspensions in neutral and alkaline conditions (pH above 6), but reacts exothermically with strong acids, acting as a base, to form salts. Reacts with strong oxidizers. Decomposes upon exposure to ultraviolet light to dicyclohexyltin oxide  (which is not an analog of ketones  because it exists as a polymer) and cyclohexylstannanoic acid . Contact with metals may emit flammable hydrogen gas. Upon heating above  it decomposes to bis(tricyclohexyltin) oxide , emitting irritating and toxic fumes and acrid smoke.

Uses
Cyhexatin is used in paints.

In agriculture, cyhexatin is used as a pesticide against insects, as well as parasitic mites that attack plants, like vegetables (e.g. cucurbits), fruit trees (e.g. pome fruits, stone fruits), hops, walnut, strawberry, vines and ornamentals. It acts by inhibiting mitochondrial ATP synthase, and is in IRAC group 12B). The chemical is not used in the United States.

Hazards and toxicity
Cyhexatin is not combustible, but decomposes upon heating to produce corrosive and toxic fumes. Some components of those fumes are oxidizers, thus, they can cause combustible materials to ignite, like wood, oil, some plastics, paper and clothes. Containers of cyhexatin may explode when heated. Cyhexatin is very toxic to aquatic life.

Cyhexatin is not classified as a human carcinogen, but is classified as a teratogen. It is toxic by contact with skin, inhalation and ingestion. The compound and its fumes irritate and burn eyes. Contact with skin causes pruritus and burns. Cyhexatin can be absorbed into the body through the skin, and skin should be washed immediately upon contact with this chemical. Inhalation of its fumes causes irritation of the respiratory system, coughing, headache, dizziness and sore throat. It can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. It causes damage to kidneys and liver, as well as nervous system. Cyhexatin is a central nervous system depressant.

Phillip Geissler. Phillip L. Geissler (March 27, 1974 – July 17, 2022) was a theoretical chemist and the Aldo De Benedictis Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at UC Berkeley.

Geissler contributed to the theory and understanding of water, which he described as "a famously unusual liquid”.  He was particularly interested in collective fluctuations that dictated kinetics in aqueous solutions, solvation, and ion-specific effects.  He examined the vibrational spectra of water and the dynamical trajectories of water models and simulated air–water interfaces. He further studied the statistical mechanics of biological polymers and heterogeneous materials; explored pathways and guiding principles for nanoscale self-assembly; and developed techniques of model and algorithm development.

Education 
Geissler was born in 1974 in Ithaca, New York. He grew up in Charlottesville and in Richmond, Virginia, graduating from Douglas S. Freeman High School.

Geissler attended Cornell University as an undergrad from 1992 to 1996. His senior thesis was titled A Theory for the Dynamics of Polymer Melts.

He received his masters' degree and PhD from UC Berkeley, graduating in 2000. He was a postdoc at UC Berkeley in 2000 and a postdoc under Eugene Shakhnovich at Harvard in 2001. He was also an MIT Science Fellow from 2001 to 2003.

Research and career 
Geissler joined UC Berkeley as faculty in 2003, becoming a full professor in 2012.
Geissler's research interests included chemical phenomena in condensed phases, biomolecular structure and dynamics, fluctuations in nanomaterials, the elasticity of disordered networks of semiflexible polymers, and the dynamics of nanosolutes in a liquid undergoing phase transition.

Geissler established a program in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. He gave the 2012 Baker Lecture, titled Why would a small ion adsorb to the air-water interface? and ran a colloqium titled When soft interfaces go still: fluctuating roughness as a driving force in nanoscale assembly.

Geissler was also affiliated with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences.

Geissler was an editorial committee member for Annual Reviews of Physical Chemistry, Journal of Chemical Physics, Chemical Physics Letters, and Journal of Physical Chemistry.

Geissler received the UC Berkeley Distinguished Teaching Award in 2011.
Geissler was known for playing chemistry-themed songs on his guitar (such as "The Mole Song" or "Acids and Bases") when teaching class. He was also known for giving the same "quiz" on the first day of class.

Personal life 
Geissler's hobbies and interests included California wine, guitar playing, hiking, watching soccer or baseball, science fiction, and woodworking.

On July 17, 2022, Geissler was hiking in Canyonlands National Park, attempting a hike from Elephant Hill, and went missing. His body was found on July 19.
