3,4-Dichloroaniline. 3,4-Dichloroaniline is an organic compound with the formula C6H3Cl2(NH2).  It is one of several isomers of dichloroaniline.  It is a white solid although commercial samples often appear gray. It is a precursor to dyes, agricultural chemicals, and drugs including the antimalarial chlorproguanil and the herbicides propanil, linuron, DCMU, and diuron.

Preparation
It is produced by hydrogenation of 3,4-dichloronitrobenzene.

Safety and environmental aspects
Being a precursor to some herbicides, the toxicity and fate of dichloroaniline is of interest. One pathway for the biodegradation of dichloroaniline is oxidation to the catechol derivatives.

Lake Sidi Mohamed Benali. Lake Sidi Mohamed Benali is a lake located in western Algeria, within the Sidi Bel Abbès Province, specifically on the lands of Ain Thrid municipality, approximately 1.7 kilometers from the city of Sidi Bel Abbès and near the East–West Highway.

The lake covers an area of over 35 hectares, is surrounded by diverse floral vegetation, and provides a natural habitat for 26 species of water birds, fish, and various wildlife, including wolves, domestic cats, and hedgehogs.

The lake is entirely man-made, created during the 1940s, and fed by the flow of the Sig River and Sarno Valley. It was constructed to manage the floodwaters of the Mekerra River, thus mitigating the risk of destructive floods that used to threaten the city of Sidi Bel Abbès.

The lake occupies a natural basin carved into sedimentary terrain, which is sealed downstream by an earthen dam. The lake bed prevents water seepage due to sediment deposition, and its maximum depth reaches approximately 30 meters.

Recent (2022) research at the lake suggests that rising temperatures adversely affect the food chain in the lake by reducing the number of zooplankton.

AKF-98. AKF-98 () is a stand-off land-attack cruise missile of Chinese origin. It was debuted at Airshow China 2022.

Development
The AKF-98A was displayed at Zhuhai Airshow in 2022. It's a jet-powered stand-off cruise missile carried by fighter aircraft in a similar class to AGM-158 JASSM or Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG. The missile has a stealth enclosure that reduces radar-cross sections. The low observable design features a diamond-shaped nose section and trapezoid body, and a tail section containing two horizontal tailfins and two downward vertical tailfins. The nose contains a terminal seeker that possibly includes imaging infrared (IIR), satellite navigation (GNSS), inertial guidance computers (INS), and a radio altimeter for terrain following.

Two variants of AKF-98A were identified, carried separately by an Xi'an JH-7A2 and a Shenyang J-16. Two missiles feature different body sections, which might carry different types of warheads, such as unitary warheads or submunition dispensers. One variant was also identified with foldable fins, indicating intentions for internal carriage. The bottom of the missile is reportedly where the recessed ventral intake locate.

According to Janes Information Services, Ta Kung Pao, and International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), the missile is speculated to have a weight around , a length of , a height of , a width of , a range of , and a warhead payload of .

Kleiber Motor Truck Company. The Kleiber Motor Truck Company was founded by Paul Kleiber in 1913. Paul was born in Germany and worked as an apprentice blacksmith and wagon maker until immigrating to the United States in 1889. First working as a blacksmith and later as a distributor for the Gramm-Bernstein Company, Paul formed Kleiber & Company to manufacturer buggies and wagons in 1900. The company loaned out wagons to help people move their possessions after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. In 1912 Kleiber and Company was sold for $175,000 which was used to fund the Kleiber Motor Truck Company on 1424 Folsom Street in San Francisco. A single vehicle, of Kleiber's own design, was produced in 1912 and sold to the Milwaukee Brewing Company. Kleiber trucks were purchased by several large companies, including Shell Oil, Del Monte Foods, & the Pacific Gas and Electric Company.

The company employed 350 workers by 1923, outgrowing its current facility. A new factory was built and Kleiber became the largest truck manufacturer west of the Mississippi River. In 1924 the decision was made to enter the car market with the formation of the Fischer-Gaffney Body Company. Unfortunately for Kleiber, the market was already over-saturated with vehicles. This, combined with the company's lack of advertising, caused Kleiber cars to often be overlooked amongst the myriad of other cars available at the time. The company produced a small number of hand-made automobiles between 1924-1929 and were billed as "Aristocratic in Appearance". These cars were powered by Continental Red Seal engines mated to Brown-Lipe-Chapin three speed transmissions. Keibler's factory may have been the first with a showroom, and buyers could tour the factory to see their cars being built.

San Francisco ordered two custom searchlight trucks for the fire department in 1928 at a cost of $18,000 a piece. They were called the Light Wagon #1 and Light Wagon #2. Both featured five 1,000 watt floodlights mounted on a swivel bar on top, an additional 2,000 watt floodlight, eight 400 watt portable floodlights, and four 500 foot reels of extension cables, powered by a Kohler 10,000 watt generator and a 4-cylinder engine. Light Wagon #1 was destroyed in an accident in 1950 and Light Wagon #2 served until 1968. The city also purchased a 1926 Kleiber Tractor to tow a 75-foot water tower (WT-3) designed by Henry H. Gorter for fire fighting. The truck and tower have been preserved on display by the San Francisco Fire Department Historical Society.

Keibler's trucks sold well, but the refusal to use assembly line techniques led to the cars being rather expensive. A Kleiber car might sell for $2,100 when a comparable Ford Motor Company car sold for $500. Reuse of truck chassis gave the cars poor handling in comparison to other automobiles of the day. The company took a major hit with the Wall Street crash of 1929 and stopped making cars. Kleiber acquired the Studebaker franchise for San Francisco and continued to produce trucks but finally ceased operations in 1937.

Michael Finnis. Michael W. Finnis is a British materials scientist who is Professor of Theory and Simulation of Materials at Imperial College London. He uses atomic-scale computation to understand atomic interactions, grain boundary embrittlement and open system thermodynamics. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 2021, and awarded the Institute of Physics Dirac Medal in 2022.

Early life and education 
Finnis was born in Margate. He studied natural sciences at the University of Cambridge, where he specialised in theoretical physics. He remained in Cambridge for his doctoral research, working with Volker Heine on condensed matter physics. His PhD investigated interatomic forces in simple metals. He started working on tight-binding models, and that the total bonding energy of transition metals scaled with the square root of the coordination number (z).

Research and career 
Finnis spent fourteen years in the Atomic Energy Research Establishment. He developed theoretical and computational approaches to support the nuclear power industry. When he started working at the AERE, he used an IBM System/360, and eventually a Cray-1. Finnis developed Finnis–Sinclair potentials, which transformed simulations of metals. Finnis–Sinclair potentials took into account the local density dependence of atomic interactions through two terms: the first a short-range repulsive interaction, the second an attractive force described by the square root of a sum of pair of interactions between neighbours. In 1988 he was appointed an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the Fritz-Haber-Institut. Finnis eventually moved to the Max-Planck-Institut für Metallforschung, where he started working on the science of interfaces. In 1995 Finnis and Ruth Lynden-Bellfounded the Atomistic Simulation Centre at Queen's University Belfast.

In 2006, Finnis joined Imperial College London, where he co-founded the Thomas Young Centre for the Theory and Simulation of Materials. His research involves atom-scale computational models to understand the electronic and optical properties of materials.
