SS Azov (1944). Azov () was a  cargo ship that was built in 1944 by Deutsche Werft, Hamburg, Germany as Deike Rickmers for Rickmers Line. In 1945, she was seized by the Allies and passed to the Ministry of War Transport (MoWT), renamed Empire Concord. In 1946, she was passed to the Soviet Union and renamed Azov. She served until 1973 when she was scrapped.

Description
The ship was built in 1944 by Deutsche Werft, Hamburg.

The ship was  long, with a beam of  a depth of . She had a GRT of 1,953 and a NRT of 935.

The ship was propelled by a four-cylinder compound steam engine, which had two cylinders of  diameter and two cylinders of  diameter by  stroke. The engine was built by Waggon und Maschinenbau, Görlitz.

History
Deike Rickmers was built for Rickmers Line, Hamburg. In May 1945, Deike Rickmers was seized by the Allies at Kiel. She was passed to the MoWT and renamed Empire Concord. She was placed under the management of the Dillwyn Steamship Co Ltd. Her port of registry was changed to London. The Code Letters GFQB and United Kingdom Official Number 180720 were allocated.

Soviet Union period
In 1946, Empire Conclyde was transferred to the Soviet Union, and was renamed Azov. Following the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1950, she was the first foreign ship to sail up the Pearl River to Canton.

In 1958, during the repair at city Dalnyi (CPP) was reconstructed for liquid fuel use and became a cargo-passenger ship as per project "Dalsudoremstroy".

Gas evolution reaction. A gas evolution reaction is a chemical reaction in which one of the end products is a gas such as oxygen or carbon dioxide. Gas evolution reactions may be carried out in a fume chamber when the gases produced are poisonous when inhaled or explosive.

Examples
 A replacement reaction concerning zinc metal and dilute sulfuric acid.
 Zn + H_2SO_4 (dil) -> ZnSO_4 + H_2 ^
 In this example, diatomic hydrogen gas is released. Dilute hydrochloric acid can be used in place of dilute sulfuric acid.

 A replacement reaction where gaseous hydrogen chloride and fluorine gas react to release diatomic chlorine gas (because fluorine is more electronegative):
 2HCl + F_2 -> 2HF + Cl_2 ^

Ghost Machine (film). Ghost Machine is a 2009 British science fiction film, directed by Chris Hartwill and based on a screenplay by writer Sven Hughes and Malachi Smyth. It stars Rachael Taylor, Sean Faris and Luke Ford.

Plot
The film opens with a tied and hooded woman being taken to some sort of jail run by the British military.

Nine years later,  military technicians and video gamers; Tom and Vic perform a training exercise for several candidates for a special force.

They smuggle their top secret, virtual warfare program into a disused prison (as seen before) , to experiment with it using two of the candidates.

What should first be a thrill becomes a deadly reality, as a vengeful outsider has manipulated the software and kidnapped them. When their companion Jess hears of this, they begin a seemingly hopeless rescue mission, but is also drawn into this virtual world. A world which can be just as deadly as real warfare.

Flyaway cost. Flyaway cost is one measure of the cost of an aircraft. It values the aircraft at its marginal cost, including only the cost of production and production tools essential for building a single unit. It excludes sunk costs such as research and development, supplementary costs such as support equipment, and future costs such as spares and maintenance.

There are other possible measures of aircraft cost:
The sum of the aggregate flyaway cost and the research and development cost divided by the number of aircraft, equivalent to the average total production cost
Total cost over the lifetime of the aircraft program, including maintenance, divided by the number of aircraft, equivalent to average total cost including maintenance

The flyaway cost can be meaningfully compared to another cost metric, the procurement cost. The procurement cost (often referred to for military aircraft as the weapons system cost) is the total price of the aircraft. A good way of looking at the difference is that the flyaway cost is the cost of making the aircraft, while the procurement cost is the cost of buying the aircraft. Procurement costs may include ancillary equipment costs, one time non-recurring contract costs, and airframe, engine and avionics support costs. For example, the flyaway cost for the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet up to 2009 (for the 449 units built) was US$ 57.5 million per unit, but the procurement cost was 39.8% higher, at US$ 80.4 million per unit. The production cost of technologically complicated aircraft will always be higher during the low rate initial production (LRIP) period, and costs per units invariably drop as an aircraft is put into full production. The Government Accountability Office has found that the United States Department of Defense rarely achieves these cost savings because few programs move from LRIP to full-scale production.

Stewart Foo Fighter. The Stewart Foo Fighter JD2FF is a single-seat biplane homebuilt aircraft design that emulates fighter aircraft of World War I.

Design and development
The Foo Fighter was developed using similar construction features as the Stewart Headwind. The fuselage is welded steel tubing with fabric covering. The lower wing design is unusual, passing below the fuselage rather than attaching to it on either side. The first aircraft built used a Ford Falcon 200 CID engine that proved to be too heavy. A Franklin 130 hp engine was used next, but the engine went out of production. The final design was changed to accommodate a Lycoming O-235 or O-320 engine.

Operational history
The Foo Fighter was demonstrated for over 30 hours during the one-week Experimental Aircraft Association Convention in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, In 1972.

Jorge Torres Obleas. Jorge Torres Obleas (born May 24, 1957, in La Paz) is a Bolivian politician and engineer. Holding master's degrees in Electrical Engineering and Economic Planning, Torres Obleas has worked as a consultant in various Latin American countries. He has also served as a lecturer at the Universidad Mayor de San Andrés in La Paz.

Torres Obleas was a member of parliament (Chamber of Deputies) between 1989 and 1993, and served as the president of the Commission on Environment and Natural Resources as well as presiding over the Commission on Economic Planning. Following his parliamentary tenure, he was coordinator in charge of formulating the National Governability Programme 1993–1994.

Torres Obleas was the director of the daily newspaper Hoy between 1994 and 1995. He has also been a columnist for newspapers such as La Razón, La Estrella del Oriente and El Deber.

He was re-elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1997, through the proportional representation vote in La Paz as a Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR) candidate. His alternate was Beatríz Peinado de Solíz. As of 2002, he was a member of the Executive Committee of MIR and the president of the Potosí Foundation.

Torres Obleas served as Minister of Economic Development in the second cabinet of Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada 2002–2003.

Torres Obleas left Bolivia in 2009, avoiding standing trial on accusation of involvement in the "Black October" killings (a military crackdown on protesters in 2003, in which more than 60 people died). He was granted asylum by the Peruvian government. The Bolivian government has asked Peru to extradite him.

Hypothetical zeolite. Hypothetical zeolites are combinatorial models of potential structures of the minerals known as zeolites.  They are four-regular periodic graphs, with vertices representing the tetrahedral atom (usually Si or Al) and the edges representing the bridging oxygen atoms. Alternatively, by ignoring the tetrahedral atoms, zeolites can be represented by a six-valent periodic graph of oxygen atoms, with each O-O edge defining an edge of a tetrahedron.

At present there are millions of hypothetical zeolite frameworks known.  For any fixed number of vertices, these are a small fraction of possible 4-regular periodic graphs, because the geometric constraints imposed by the chemistry of zeolites rules out most possibilities.

Enumeration methods
There are several methods for enumerating zeolite frameworks. The method of Earl et al. uses simulated annealing to arrange a fixed number of tetrahedral atoms under periodic symmetry constraints. The method of Treacy and Rivin  uses combinatorial enumeration to identify four-valent graphs under fixed symmetry and fixed number of tetrahedral atoms. This is then followed by a simulated annealing embedding of the candidate graph into the 3-dimensional torus. Ockwig et al. tile polyhedra to fill space and generate four-valent graphs.

Open questions
There many open questions, among them:
 Why there is such a large discrepancy between the number of hypothetical zeolites and the number of zeolite frameworks observed in nature?
 Can the pore structure of a hypothetical zeolite be predicted only from its periodic graph?

Owen Mock. Owen R. Mock was a computer software designer and programmer who pioneered computer operating systems in the 1950s. In 1954 Mock was part of a group of programmers at the Los Angeles division of North American Aviation (NAA) who developed the PACT series of compilers for the IBM 701 computer.  In December 1955, Mock's group installed in the IBM 701 the "North American 701 Monitor" which was the first operating system to be in operation.

General Motors Research (GMR) also had an IBM 701 and used the compilers developed by Mock's group. When Robert L. Patrick at GMR designed a non-stop multi-user batch processing operating system for use on the next generation computer (IBM 704), Mock's group at NAA and George Ryckman's group at GMR joined forces to develop Robert Patrick's design for the IBM 704.  This GM-NAA I/O software was the first operating system for the 704 and began production in 1956.

Mandroid (film). Mandroid is a 1993 film directed by Jack Ersgard starring Robert Symonds and Curt Lowens.

Plot 
In his hidden laboratory deep in Russia, Dr. Karl Zimmer (Symonds) has invented the Mandroid, a humanoid robot which follows the motions of a man in a special control suit. He has offered the invention to the United States, which has sent Agent Joe Smith and Dr. Wade Franklin from the CIA for inspection.

However, Zimmer's partner Drago (Lowens) has different plans and wants to sell Mandroid to the military, the night he tries to steal Mandroid, he becomes exposed to the highly toxic Superconn and is terribly disfigured. However, during the struggle, Zimmer's assistant Ben Knight also becomes exposed as he begins to turn invisible.

Drago enslaves a homeless mute and partially fixes his face, but the mute has to make him a metal mask. Using the Mandroid, Drago kidnaps Smith. Drago demands that Zimmer give him the Superconn in exchange for Smith.

Zimmer, Zana and Wade retrieve the Superconn, meanwhile Smith is revealed to be in cahoots with Drago. The chief of police arrives at the trade with a squad of police officers.

Through Mandroid, Drago reveals Smith's duplicity and fatally shoots Zimmer, then shoots Smith, as Zana mourns her father, the rest of them go after Drago and the Mandroid. Mandroid kills all of the police. Smith atones by killing the mute but dies from his injuries.

Wade destroys the Mandroid, Drago shoots Wades legs crippling him. Wade causes the building to collapse on him.

Wade and Zana start a relationship. Drago is revealed to be alive.

Production
The project originally was to be called "Mindmaster". Some early concept art was done by Jack Kirby.

Reception 

Dennis Schwartz gave the film a grade C+ and wrote: "The film disappoints because the story is slight, the acting is wooden, the cheap special effects are not special and there's no pay-off."

Sequel 
A sequel, entitled Invisible: The Chronicles of Benjamin Knight followed the same year.
