German submarine U-1106. German submarine U-1106 was a Type VIIC/41 U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II.

She was ordered on 14 October 1941, and was laid down on 28 July 1943, at Nordseewerke, Emden, as yard number 228. She was launched on 26 May 1944, and commissioned under the command of Oberleutnant zur See Erwin Bartke on 5 July 1944.

Design
German Type VIIC/41 submarines were preceded by the heavier Type VIIC submarines. U-1106 had a displacement of  when at the surface and  while submerged. She had a total length of , a pressure hull length of , an overall beam of , a height of , and a draught of . The submarine was powered by two Germaniawerft F46 four-stroke, six-cylinder supercharged diesel engines producing a total of  for use while surfaced, two SSW GU 343/38-8 double-acting electric motors producing a total of  for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two  propellers. The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to .

The submarine had a maximum surface speed of  and a maximum submerged speed of . When submerged, the boat could operate for  at ; when surfaced, she could travel  at . U-1106 was fitted with five  torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and one at the stern), fourteen torpedoes or 26 TMA or TMB Naval mines, one  SK C/35 naval gun, (220 rounds), one  Flak M42 and two  C/30 anti-aircraft guns. The boat had a complement of between forty-four and fifty-two.

Service history
On 29 March 1945, nine days out of Horten, on her first, and only, war patrol, she was located by a British Liberator aircraft of the 224 Squadron RAF/O. U-1106 was sunk by depth charges in the Norwegian Sea, north of the Shetland Islands, with all 46 of her crew.

The wreck now lies at .

Metal couture. Metal couture is a type of adornment or fashion item, made of metal,  generally made as art, for fashion photography or high-end couture catwalk. The pieces are generally larger and more significant than jewellery, and are generally worn (either as headpieces or more like clothing), rather than decorating the body like jewellery. In differentiating metal couture from jewellery, as one-off pieces, and generally not practical or useful for the wearer, they are more akin to art, than a standard item of jewellery. They may cover the torso, the neck, the head, or any part of the body. While they can be defined as "a form of jewellery", they can also simply be defined as "fashion designs made from metal".  Metal couture can stretch the concept of what is basically metal art, to the point that the metal becomes clothing, somewhat but not exactly the same as wearable art.

Designers who create metal couture may be called "metal couturiers" or "metal couture designers".  The designers generally come from a background in jewellery, or in some cases, may have skills in some other form of sheet metal work, for example the skills used to decorate and create historical metal armour.

Because of the size of the pieces, they are generally not made of precious metal as jewellery would be, as this would make them prohibitively expensive. Various types of metal are used for making metal couture, including steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminium, but may include other materials. Metal couture was first featured in fashion shows in the early 2000s, in both mainstream, high-end couture and alternative fashion/subcultural fashion shows.

Some metal couture has featured in product promotional photography, stage shows, art installations and the catwalk. Other items have featured in film, stage, and the video clips of performers including Beyoncé and Lady Gaga.

An early metal couturier was Paco Rabanne, who used metal in clothing for his designs, for film and major fashion labels in the 1960s. Other metal couture designers include Spain's Manual Albarann, who has had his work featured in cinema (Maleficent), on stage and in music videos. The jeweller William Griffiths has featured metal couture, including metal underwear and metal corsetry, in fashion shows in London and Melbourne.  Laurel De Witt's  label Laureluxe has featured her work in a number of fashion shows in New York. Melbourne-based Bernard Lyons, under the label Assassinus, has had metal couture designs featured regularly in alternative fashion shows in Australia since 2005. Jared Holland's Exosthetik studio in Auckland, New Zealand, specialising in complex electrolytic etching, has featured his work in fashion shows and made pieces for the music industry.

General Dynamics Model 100. The General Dynamics Model 100 was a 1960s proposal for a counter-insurgency (COIN) ground attack aircraft intended for use by the United States Air Force (USAF).

Development
The Model 100 was conceived by General Dynamics in 1966 as a response to a USAF requirement for a COIN aircraft to replace the Douglas A-1 Skyraider. The initial design featured a turboprop-powered aircraft with straight wings and a T-tail, but a later design had a conventional tail design. Although the Model 100 was referred to as A-8A, it is unclear if the USAF ever officially assigned the designation to the Model 100.

The Model 100 was eventually shelved in favor of the A-X program that would result in the development of the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II.

Trinitroethylorthoformate. Trinitroethylorthoformate also known as TNEOF is an explosive with excellent chemical stability. It does not have hygroscopicity, does not dissolve in water, and does not react with acids. It decomposes in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution to release formaldehyde odor. The explosion point of TNEOF is 229 °C, though it begins to decompose at 190 °C. Its explosion heat is 6.3076 J/g and specific volume is 682 L/kg. Its structure is closely related to that of trinitroethylorthocarbonate (TNEOC). Both are highly explosive and very shock-sensitive, and may be dissolved in nitroalkanes to reduce their shock-sensitivity.

Synthesis 

Trinitroethanol is reacted with chloroform under a catalyst of FeCl3.
\overset{chloroform}{CHCl3} + \overset{Trinitroethanol}{3HOCH2C(NO2)3} ->[\ce{FeCl3}] {TNEOF} + 3HCl

Indian locomotive class YDM-4. The YDM-4 is a class of  diesel locomotives operating on Indian Railways. The first units were built by the American Locomotive Company (Alco) in 1961. Since 1968, members of the class have been manufactured in India by the Banaras Locomotive Works (BLW), Varanasi. The model name stands for metre gauge (Y), diesel (D), mixed traffic (M) engine. The YDM-4 has been the most successful metre gauge diesel locomotive in India. The YDM-4 locos have a maximum speed of , restricted to .

The YDM-4A is a variant of the YDM-4 that is supplied by MLW. Originally equipped with vacuum brakes, some were later equipped with dual brakes, particularly those working in the Northeast Frontier Railway.

History
In the mid 1950s Indian Railways began introducing diesel locomotives to its metre gauge system. Metre gauge, though rare in the 21st century, used to be a dominant gauge at that time. After the introduction of YDM-1 locomotives by the North British Locomotive Company, Indian Railway considered more powerful ones and hence General Motors Electro-Motive Division (EMD) and the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) submitted designs of YDM-3/YDM-5 (12-567C) and YDM-4 respectively for new diesel locomotives. Each company supplied 30 locomotives in 1961. While the YDM-3 was 13 tons lighter than the YDM-4, Indian Railways opted for the ALCO design because of the heavier axle load and technology agreement that would allow these locomotives to be manufactured in India.

After Banaras Locomotive Works (BLW) completed construction of its factory in Varanasi, production of the class began in India. The initial 30 YDM-4 locomotives supplied by ALCO in 1961 were numbered between #6020 and #6049. Another batch of 8 locomotives soon followed and were numbered #6105 to #6112. YDM-4 #6113-6129 were built around 1964. Siliguri Diesel Locoshed was the first DLS to station YDM-4 locomotives in 1962. The very first YDM4, #6020, was allotted to the New Guwahati Diesel Loco Shed, which was an outbase of Siliguri DLS on 30 October 1962.

YDM4 #6130 to #6198 were built by Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW) in 1964 under the license of ALCO and were classified as YDM-4A. All the YDM-4 delivered up to then were presumably based at three premier DLS across India namely Siliguri (SGUJ), Ponmalai Goldenrock (GOC) and Sabarmati (SBI). Another batch of YDM-4A was dispatched from MLW in 1969, numbered #6259 to #6288.

The first YDM-4 built by Banaras Locomotive Works (BLW) Varanasi was #6199 Hubli. This loco entered service in 1968 and was dedicated to the then Deputy Prime Minister of India, Morarji Desai. DLW built locos in the range #6199 to #6258.

From 1969 till 1993 DLW produced YDM-4 locomotives for Indian Railways in the number range #6289 to #6769. The last YDM-4 was based at Rangapara North outbase of Siliguri DLS but later on transferred to Myanmar (Burma) Railways and possibly renumbered as DF1332.

Georges Giralt PhD Award. The Georges Giralt PhD Award is a European scientific prize for extraordinary contributions to robotics. It is awarded yearly at the European Robotics Forum by euRobotics AISBL, a non-profit organisation based in Brussels with the objective of turning robotics beneficial for Europe’s economy and society.

Georges Giralt received his PhD in 1958, from Paul Sabatier University, in the domain of electrical machines, and soon afterwards became a pioneer in robotics, in Europe and worldwide. He was especially instrumental in bringing in scientific foundations and methodology when the domain was still young, and a loose coupling of mechanical and electrical engineering, adopting the early results of automatic control.

The high reputation of the Georges Giralt PhD Award is based on the prominent role of the awarding institution euRobotics. With more than 250 member organisations, euRobotics represents the academic and industrial robotics community in Europe. Moreover, it provides the European robotics community with a legal entity to engage in a public/private partnership with the European Commission.

Entitled for participation in the Georges Giralt PhD Award are all robotics-related dissertations which have been successfully defended at a European university.

The US-American counterpart is the Dick Volz Award.

Illinois Central Passenger Depot-Storm Lake. Illinois Central Passenger Depot-Storm Lake, also known as the Storm Lake Depot, was an historic building located in Storm Lake, Iowa, United States. The Iowa Falls & Sioux City Railroad, an Illinois Central Railroad (IC) subsidiary, built the first tracks through town in 1870. They also built a two-story frame combination freight and passenger depot the same year. The present depot is a second generation IC structure built of brick. The building's architectural style is Prairie School with Tudor Revival elements in the dormer and canopy ends. It was designed by IC architect E.E. Bihl, and it is similar to the railroad's depots in Flossmoor, Illinois and Fort Dodge, Iowa. The new passenger depot was completed in August, 1915, and the old depot was re-purposed for a dedicated freight depot. It was torn down sometime before 1948. Passenger service remained high during the 1910s and 1920s, with the decline accelerating after World War II, and it ended all together in the late 1960s. While freight trains continue to use the IC's tracks, the depot has been abandoned. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. The Storm Lake Illinois Central depot was demolished on February 25, 2013.
