Validated learning. Validated learning is used in scrum. The term was proposed by Eric Ries in 2011. 
It is a unit of progress process and describes conclusions generated by trying out an initial idea and then measuring it against potential customers to validate the effect. Each test of an idea is a single iteration in a larger process of many iterations whereby something is learnt and then applied to succeeding tests. The term coined in the lean startup scene, but it can be applied universally.

Validated learning is especially popular on the web, where analytics software can track visitor behavior and give accurate statistics and insight on how website features work in reality. Validated learning can, however, be applied to anything; one just needs to be innovative on what to use as metrics.

Typical steps in validated learning:
 Specify a goal
 Specify a metric that represents the goal
 Act to achieve the goal
 Analyze the metric – did you get closer to the goal?
 Improve and try again

Phrased in a different way
 Validate important assumptions fast 
 Leverage multiple concurrent learning loops 
 Organize workflow for fast feedback 

To specify a goal, SMART target finding could apply.

Lightwing Rooster. The Lightwing Type 4 Rooster is an experimental biplane glider, capable of powered or unpowered flight, built in the UK in the 1980s to explore the properties of this unusual glider configuration.

Design and development
The Rooster was not intended for production but to explore the soaring performance of a biplane. It is an unequal span biplane, not technically a sesquiplane but with a lower wing with 2/3 the span of the upper one.  The aspect ratio of the latter is 10, that of the lower about 6.7 and both planes are unswept with constant chord.  The wings are wood framed and fabric covered, with the lower ones mounted on the lower fuselage longerons and the upper on a short, thin pedestal from the fuselage top.  There are two short, faired wing struts one each side, one from mid-fuselage to the upper wing another, crossing just ahead of the first, from the top of the pedestal to the lower wing.

The fuselage of the Rooster is a simple, fabric covered rectangular structure, with a simple, straight edged, cruciform tail unit, the tailplane mounted just above the upper fuselage. The region around the upper wing pylon is faired in, just ahead of a mounting frame for the pusher engine. The fairing extends forwards to the back of the cockpit; originally, this was open but the surviving sole example currently has a single piece canopy.  The Rooster has a fixed, conventional undercarriage with small, wing mounted mainwheels, assisted by a small tailskid and a sprung nose skid, reaching back under most of the cockpit.

Following the first flight in 1983 John Lee tested the soaring capabilities of the Rooster with flights from 180 m (600 ft).  By the Spring of 1984 he had made some 200 circuits and was going forwards with tests the aircraft's semi-aerobatic abilities. He later turned to the development of his Type 6 monoplane and the Rooster's registration was cancelled in 1990.

Everett S. Sherman. Everett S. Sherman (1831-1897) was a covered bridge builder in Ohio.  He lived and built bridges in  Delaware County then moved to Preble County after a storm destroyed many of its bridges.

He revived a technology of Childs truss bridges, of which only a handful of examples—perhaps only seven according to a 2003 report—survive in the United States.  The Childs truss was patented by Horace Childs in 1846.  It never became popular, but, after its patent expired, was adopted by Sherman for bridges in Ohio late in the 1800s.  Sherman adapted the Childs design to vary the size of beams according to loads carried by them, rather than using uniform beams.

A number of his works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

Works include:
Brubaker Covered Bridge, W of Gratis on Aukerman Creek Rd., Gratis, Ohio, NRHP-listed
Chambers Road Covered Bridge, 1.5 mi. NE of Olive Green, Olive Green, Ohio, NRHP-listed
Christman Covered Bridge, 1.5 mi. NW of Eaton on SR 12, Eaton, Ohio, NRHP-listed

Schalker Eisenhütte Maschinenfabrik. Schalker Eisenhütte Maschinenfabrik GmbH is a German engineering company, a manufacturer of industrial locomotives and coking furnaces.

History
The company was founded in Schalke, Gelsenkirchen, in 1872 by Friedrich Grillo with backing from the Grevel family, as Vogelsang & Co. In 1886 the company became Gewerkschaft Schalker Eisenhütte.

In 1882 the company produced its first machine for pushing coke out of a coke oven, and by 1900 was manufacturing a range of equipment for mechanisation of coke production, including coke wagons and locomotives.

In 1937 the company began production of electrically powered mining locomotives with equipment from AEG, BBC, and Siemens.

During the Second World War the factory was heavily damaged in two bombing raids. Post war the company continued in its main business areas of coke oven equipment and industrial locomotives. The company was acquired by  of Bochum in 1968.

Towards the end of the first decade of the 21st century the company developed its first main line locomotive, the SDE 1800, a 4 axle Bo'Bo' diesel electric, off-centre cab design with an installed power of up to 1.8MW, designed for freight and shunting. The prototype was completed in 2011.

According to the company's works council and union IG Metall the SDE 1800 project was too large for the company, with development costs for the locomotive contributing to the company accumulating losses since 2010. In August 2012, with cumulative losses reported of €20m, the company was restructured, with a reduction in workforce; approximately 155 of the workforce of 210 workers were to be transferred to other Eickoff group companies, with approximately 25 jobs losses overall.
