USA-235. USA-235, also known as Advanced Extremely High Frequency 2 or AEHF-2, is a military communications satellite operated by the United States Air Force. It is the second of six satellite to be launched as part of the Advanced Extremely High Frequency program, which replaced the earlier Milstar system.

Satellite description 
The USA-235 satellite was constructed by Lockheed Martin Space, and is based on the A2100 satellite bus. The satellite has a mass of  and a design life of 14 years. It will be used to provide super high frequency (SHF) and extremely high frequency (EHF) communications for the United States Armed Forces, as well as those of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Canada.

Launch 
USA-235 was launched by United Launch Alliance, aboard an Atlas V 531 flying from Space Launch Complex 41 (SLC-41) at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS). The launch occurred at 18:24 UTC on 4 May 2012, first placing the satellite in a parking orbit of 185 kilometers by 905 kilometers. A second burn placed the satellite into a geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) with a perigee of , an apogee of , and 20.6° inclination. The satellite was successfully deployed in this orbit 51 minutes after launch.

TianoCore EDK II. TianoCore EDK II (formerly Tiano) is the reference implementation of UEFI by Intel. EDK is the abbreviation for EFI Development Kit and is developed by the TianoCore community. TianoCore EDK II is the de facto standard generic UEFI services implementation.

History 
In 2004, Intel released their "Foundation Code" of their EFI implementation using a free license. The resulting code formed the basis of the community-run EDK project on SourceForge, started in 2004. The name "Tiano" was present in the initial Intel code. The last update to the EDK (version 1) project happened in May 2010. Version 2 is in active development.

An "edk2" project was imported into SourceForge in April 2006, with a package-oriented code base again written by Intel. The initial "DeveloperManual" referred to this project as "Tiano R9". In 2008, a stable, validated version of EDK II was tagged as "UEFI Development Kit 2008" (UDK2008). The tag includes a BuildNotes.txt dating to November 2006 describing the code found in the initial import, and a BuildNotes2.txt describing modules added in May 2008. UDK2010 was the first version of EDK II to be widely known. Intel would continue to validate certain snapshots of EDK II as UDK until 2018, when EDK II moved into a "stable tag" format.

Although EDK II implements the UEFI specification, it is not endorsed by the UEFI Forum.

Projects 

EDK II code has been integrated into other projects.

A part of TianoCore is the UEFI shell. When a specific UEFI vendor does not provide a UEFI shell, the one from TianoCore can be used.

Coreboot 
Google uses a version of coreboot modified to launch Tiano. This feature is called PIANO (payload into Tiano) or tianocoreboot. PIANO code was merged into coreboot in 2013. The code was updated to be compatible with EDK II in 2017.

EDK2 source code includes instructions for building as a payload for coreboot or Intel's "slim bootloader".

Project Mu 
Project Mu is a fork of EDK-II by Microsoft. It is an open source release of the UEFI core used in Microsoft Surface and Hyper-V products initiated by Microsoft in December 2018. The project promotes the idea of firmware as a service. The project was started to build on TianoCore's EDK II implementation to improve modularity and increase the quality of tests when building UEFI firmware.

EFIDroid 
EFIDroid is a bootloader for Android devices based on Snapdragon processors that is based on EDK II.

LogoFAIL vulnerability 
In December 2023 a vulnerability termed "LogoFAIL" was discovered associated with EDK II which enabled an attacker to insert their own code in place of custom boot logo bitmap loader modules.

ETAP 23. The ETAP 23 is a Belgian trailerable sailboat that was designed by Jacques de Ridder as a cruiser and first built in 1982.

Production
The design was built by ETAP Yachting in Lokeren, Belgium between 1982 and 1989, but it is now out of production.

Design
The ETAP 23 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of foam-cored fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a weighted bulb lifting keel. It displaces  and carries  of ballast.

The boat's construction renders it unsinkable.

The boat has a draft of  with the lifting keel extended and  with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, or ground transportation on a trailer.

The boat is normally fitted with a small  outboard motor for docking and manoeuvring, mounted in a stern well.

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee quarter berths in the main cabin along with a drop-leaf table. The galley is located on the port side, just aft of the bow cabin. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove, an icebox and a sink. The head is located under the "V"-berth on the port side in the bow cabin. Cabin headroom is .

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 240 and a hull speed of .

Operational history
The boat was at one time supported by a class club, the ETAP Owners Association.

In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "like other small ETAP sailboats, the Belgian-made 23 ... is double skinned, with foam between outside and aside layers of fiberglass. Best features: The foam sandwich construction helps keep the cabin dry and condensation free, as well as muffling noise. It also stiffens the hull structure and makes the boat unsinkable even when filled with water. (We watched at the Annapolis Sailboat Show in 1986 while the ETAP’s seacocks were opened and the boat gradually settled until water was knee-high over the cabin sole, at which point equilibrium was reached and any added water bailed in from outside simply ran out through the seacocks, Then the boat was keeled over to 65 degrees of heel, but popped right up when the hauling lines were released.) The whole boat is extremely well-finished in mahogany and/or teak with polished brass hardware. The wide beam helps to create more usable space ... A ballasted vertical-retracting keel keeps minimum draft low while providing good lowered depth for going upwind. An outboard well is conveniently located in the cockpit near the helm station. Worst features: Price even of well-used boats is high. In this case, you may get what you pay for."

APWEN. The Association of Professional Women Engineers of Nigeria (APWEN) was established in 1982 by Nigerian engineer Joana Maduka. It is a division of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE).

According to the body's leadership, APWEN was founded by six women and now has a membership of over 3,000 people with chapters in 35 cities, and collegiate in 16 campuses in all six geopolitical zones of Nigeria.

APWEN  advocates the inclusion of females in the engineering sector, by educating them to contribute to the production sector of the economy.  

The chairman of the Ota chapter, Dr. Imhade Okokpujie  during the 2021/2022 executives' inauguration  was quoted to have said, "Nigeria, as it stands, lacks involvement in that aspect of production engineering, hence the need to answer the question, 'What do Nigeria produce?' This is why women's development will be a catalyst for national development, hence, the need for more mentorship and encouragement for the girl child to study engineering."

APWEN advocates for more female representation in STEM courses and projects in the engineering field by organising programs that encourage young girls in high schools and colleges, as well as promote women considered prominent in various engineering fields.  Some of their programs include  scholarships to young females. The award programme is often in conjunction with other bodies and corporations.

Titanium(IV) acetate. Titanium(IV) acetate or titanium tetraacetate is a coordination complex and white chloroform soluble solid with the formula Ti(C2H3O2)4.  Crystallographic evidence has not been presented. It can be prepared by reacting tetramethyltitanium with acetic acid.

History
Titanium(IV) acetate  has been discussed in archaic literature, well before the advent of X-ray crystallography and an appreciation of the structural trends in metal carboxylate complexes. A variety of titanium oxo acetates were prepared by reactions of titanium alkoxides and acetic acid.

Uses
Species claimed to be titanium(IV) acetate have been used in the production of bismuth titanate ferroelectric thin films. Titanium(IV) acetate is used in the step of making the acetate-derived solutions. The acetate derived solutions were created by blending acetic acid and bismuth acetate together and adding titanium(IV) acetate. "Titanium(IV) acetate" is a substitute for antimony potassium tartrate(emetic tartar) when making red and brown dyes.

Related compounds
Ti(IV) complexes containing only carboxylate ligands have eluded crystallographic characterization, but various polycarboxylate species are known.  One example is [Ti(edta)(OH2)].

ETAP Yachting. ETAP Yachting is a Belgian boat builder based in Lokeren. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of fibreglass sailboats.

History
The company was founded by Norbert Joris in 1970 and was originally a manufacturer of lighting, aluminium and fibreglass products. ETAP stands for Electro Technical Apparatus.

The first sailboat design produced was the ETAP 22 in 1974, followed by the ETAP 20 in 1975.

The designs have been noted for their use of fibreglass foam sandwich construction, which provides buoyancy, making them unsinkable, while providing rigidity, sound dampening and protection from condensation. The boats also received praise for their high quality of construction and value retention.

In the Great Recession the company was losing money and was purchased by Dehler Yachts in 2008. Dehler Deutschland then declared bankruptcy later in 2008 and in January 2009 ETAP was declared insolvent. The company brand and moulds were purchased by MIC Industries in March 2009 and up until at least 2012 no boats were produced. It was reported that the company had ceased operations in 2012, but in 2021 the company was advertising seven designs, the ETAP 22s, ETAP 26s, ETAP 30cq, ETAP 32s, ETAP 37s, ETAP 48Ds sailboats and the ETAP 1100 AC powerboat.
