Gallery
The Grimshaw partnership website has a selection of photographs of the Western Morning News HQ, known locally as "The Ship", since the WMN vacated the building in 2013.

History
The Ship was built in 1992-3 as the headquarters for The Evening Herald and the Western Morning News in the Derriford area of Plymouth, Devon. The architect was Sir Nicholas Grimshaw CBE. The building was vacated by the newspapers in 2013, after a change of ownership in 2012 from Daily Mail and General Trust plc to Local World which resulted in relocation to smaller offices at Milbay in Plymouth, and the building has since stood empty. 

The owners advertised the building for sale, but, as of 10 April 2015, no buyers had come forward, and the owners served Plymouth City Council with a notice that they wish to demolish the building. Sir Nicholas Grimshaw made his own suggestions as to what use could be made of the building now that it is redundant as a newspaper headquarters and printing press. On 22 July 2015 it was announced that the building had been awarded a Grade II* listing by Historic England saving it from demolition.

PoSeidon (malware). PoSeidon is a name for a family of malicious computer programs targeting computerized Point-of-Sale systems.

History
Cisco's "Talos" computer security research laboratory discovered and introduced the family of malware and their nickname "PoSeidon" on their security blog on 20 March 2015.

Operation
The malware attempts to steal both keystrokes and credit card numbers stored in system memory, by scanning RAM for Discover, Visa, MasterCard and AMEX issued credit cards.  The credit card data is then encrypted and sent (exfiltrated) to a number of predefined Russian servers.

If the commercial remote administration software LogMeIn is installed, the LogMeIn settings are modified, forcing the next remote user to enter a username and password. This allows the username and password to be read into the keylogger and exfiltrated.

Lightweighting. Lightweighting is a concept in the auto industry about building cars and trucks that are less heavy as a way to achieve better fuel efficiency, battery range, acceleration, braking and handling. In addition, lighter vehicles can tow and haul larger loads because the engine is not carrying unnecessary weight. Excessive vehicle weight is also a contributing factor to particulate emissions from tyre and brake wear.

Carmakers make body structure parts from aluminium sheet, aluminium extrusions,press hardening steel, carbon fibers, windshields from plastic, and bumpers out of aluminum foam, as ways to lessen vehicle load. Replacing car parts with lighter materials does not lessen overall safety for drivers, according to one view, since many grades of aluminium and plastics have a high strength-to-weight ratio; and aluminum has high energy absorption properties for its weight.

The search to replace car parts with lighter ones is not limited to any one type of part; according to a spokesman for Ford Motor Company, engineers strive for lightweighting "anywhere we can." Using lightweight materials such as plastics, high strength steels and aluminium can mean less strain on the engine and better gas mileage as well as improved handling. One material sometimes used to reduce weight for structures that can accept the cost premium is carbon fiber. The auto industry has used the term for many years, as the effort to keep making cars lighter is ongoing.

Another common material used for lightweighting is aluminum. Incorporating aluminum has grown continuously to not only meet CAFE standards but to also improve automotive performance.  A light
weighting magazine finds: "Even though aluminum is light, it does not sacrifice strength. Aluminum body structure is equal in strength to steel and can absorb twice as much crash-induced energy." The use of aluminium for lightweighting can be limited for the higher strength grades by their low formability - and in response to this forming challenge new techniques such as roll forming and hot forming (Hot Form Quench) have been introduced in recent years.

Many other materials are used to meet lightweighting goals. Cost of lightweighting, and increasingly sustainability of materials, is becoming an issue in solution selection - with the viable cost increase of a part per kilogram saved being between $5 and $15, depending on the price point and performance needs of the vehicle.

TurnOn (video game). TurnOn is a single-player video game developed by Brainy Studio LLC. The game was released for Windows, OS X, and Xbox One on June 1, 2016. The main character is an alien electrical spark named Turnon, who must return electricity to the unexpectedly de-energized city. The game features a distinctive visual style and graphics, as well as the original story, became the second big project of Brainy Studio after WitchCraft, creating on Unity3D. In 2014 a prototype of TurnOn became the winner in the "Games" category in the world's largest technology competition,  Imagine Cup 2014, held under the auspices Microsoft, and also became a participant of the biggest in the world support program for mobile apps and games developers, AppCampus.

The first of five announced episodes was launched at the beginning of 2015, later developers started Steam Greenlight campaign.

Gameplay
The plot revolves around a small spark named Turnon, an alien space object, which flew through the atmosphere and accidentally struck the city's power station, where it came alive from the strong impact of the current and became a rational being. As a result of the accident the city remains without electricity, and now Turnon looks like a fireball with a pretty face, has to return the light back into the homes of citizens. Turnon strolls through the suburban areas, has fun at school parties and repairs the wiring in a private house visits the power station and restores the observatory, as well as fights with unexpected enemies.

Professor Brain, a scientist from the power station, found Turnon at the time of the accident and decided to help him. Using minibus equipped with an electric generator, they move around the city from one district to another and restore the power supply.

TurnOn has five episodes, where players explore the city and turn on the light everywhere it's possible or planned by the plot. There are two types of levels:

 Exploration levels, where players have to restore the city's power station, help a little girl to get home, repair the wiring in the private cottage, throw a school party, then visit an observatory and run a dron. Every chapter has a lot of situations without electricity, which should be found and resolved.
 Music levels, where you can climb to the high-voltage wires and moving in the rhythm of the music, collect positive charges avoid negative ones.

Protonolysis. Protonolysis is the cleavage of a chemical bond by acids. Many examples are found in organometallic chemistry since the reaction requires polar Mδ+-Rδ- bonds, where δ+ and δ- signify partial positive and negative charges associated with the bonding atoms. When compounds containing these bonds are treated with acid (HX), these bonds cleave:
M-R + HX → M-X + H-R
Hydrolysis (X− = OH−) is a special case of protonolysis. Compounds susceptible to hydrolysis often undergo protonolysis.

Hydrides
The borohydride anion is susceptible to reaction with even weak acids, resulting protonolysis of one or more B-H bonds. Protonolysis of sodium borohydride with acetic acid gives triacetoxyborohydride:
NaBH4 + 3 HO2CCH3 → NaBH(O2CCH3)3 + 3 H2
Related reactions occur for hydrides of other electropositive elements, e.g. lithium aluminium hydride.

Alkyls
The alkyl derivatives of many metals undergo protonolysis. For the alkyls of very electropositive metals (zinc, magnesium, and lithium), water is sufficiently acidic, in which case the reaction is called hydrolysis.  Protonolysis with mineral acids is sometimes used to remove organic ligands from a metal center.

Nitrides, phosphides, silicides and related species
Inorganic materials with highly charged anions are often susceptible to protonolysis.  Derivatives of nitride (N3−), phosphides (P3−), and silicides (Si4−) hydrolyze to give ammonia, phosphine, and silane. Analogous reactions occur with molecular compounds with M-NR2, M-PR2, and M-SiR3 bonds.

Chemical reactions
Cyclohexanethiol. Cyclohexanethiol is a thiol with the formula C6H11SH. It is a colorless liquid with a strong odor.

Preparation
It was first prepared by the free-radical reaction of cyclohexane using carbon disulfide as a sulfur source.

It is produced industrially by the hydrogenation of cyclohexanone in the presence of hydrogen sulfide over a metal sulfide catalyst:
C6H10O  +  H2S  +  H2   →   C6H11SH  +  H2O
It is also obtained by the addition of hydrogen sulfide to cyclohexene in the presence of nickel sulfide.

Reza Derakhshani. Reza Derakhshani is an inventor and professor of computer science and electrical engineering at the University of Missouri Kansas City (UMKC). He is known for inventing and developing a biometric security system that uses the patterns of blood vessels in the eyes. His research has encompassed biometrics, biometric spoofing, biomedical signal and image processing, and computational intelligence. 

After earning his B.S. at Iran University of Science and Technology in Tehran, Derakhshani continued his studies at West Virginia University in Morganstown, where he earned his Ph.D. He later taught at Georgetown University, Washington, D.C., and then UMKC. His courses include advanced biomedical signal analysis, neural and adaptive systems courses and overseeing senior robotics design projects. Along with biometrics, he also researches biomedical signal and image processing and computational intelligence. Much of his research has been funded by the National Science Foundation's Center for Identification Technology Research.

He also is chief science officer of EyeVerify, a Missouri-based startup company that develops and markets biometric security software based on Derakhshani's research.

Eye vein verification
 
Derakhshani identified the potential usefulness of the patterns of blood vessels in the sclera — the white part of the eyes — which are unique to each person. The pattern can be imaged and turned into a digital template, and then encoded with mathematical and statistical algorithms. These allow confirmation of the identity of the proper user and the rejection of anyone else.

Derakhshani holds several patents on the technology, including a 2008 patent for the concept of using the blood vessels seen in the whites of the eye as a unique identifier.

Chudang Palii Japanese World War II Defensive Complex. The Chudang Palii Japanese World War II Defensive Complex is one of the largest surviving World War II defensive establishments in the Northern Mariana Islands.  Located at the base of a limestone bluff overlooking the island's airport, it consists of an extensive series of tunnels, walls, enclosures, gun emplacements and other features.  These were built in 1944 and 1945, probably with forced labor, after the Japanese decided to embark on a program of in-depth island defenses after Allied successes against defenses that were limited to shore-based establishments.  These works are characterized by an extensive use of native materials (due to a general inability to bring in outside supplies at that period in the war), and by the use of manual labor to dig tunnels, trenches, and other features.

The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.

Bitsquid. Autodesk Stingray, formerly known as Bitsquid, is a discontinued 3D game engine with support for Linux, Windows, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox Series X and Series S, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Android and iOS. It uses the Lua scripting language.

History

Bitsquid
Bitsquid AB, the company that created the Bitsquid game engine, was founded in 2009 in Stockholm, Sweden, Niklas Frykholm and Tobias Persson, two engineers who had previously worked at game studio Grin, and by the owners of game developer Fatshark. 

The game engine was built to be flexible and scalable, with support for visual scripting, Lua, and C++ for advanced users. The use of Lua allowed Bitsquid to be smaller and lighter than other game engines thanks to its lean code base.

In April 2010, Bitsquid and Fatshark released a demo highlighting the Bitsquid engine's capabilities. Support for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 was made available that fall. In 2011, Fatshark released Hamilton's Great Adventure, the first game to run on Bitsquid. In 2013, Bitsquid was made available for development in PlayStation 4 games. 

Bitsquid was acquired by Autodesk in June 2014. The money from the sale helped Fatshark develop Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide, the studio's first self-published AAA game. Frykholm and Persson went on to develop a short-lived "modular" game engine called The Machinery.

Autodesk Stingray
In 2015, Bitsquid was retooled into Autodesk Stingray, which integrated with the company's game development toolchain, including 3ds Max, Maya, Mudbox, and Maya LT. Autodesk hoped to compete with other low-cost-to-enter game engines like Unreal Engine, Unity, and CryEngine. Stingray was offered on a monthly subscription basis and even packaged with some of the company's other offerings. 

In June 2017, Autodesk introduced Stingray as a 3ds Max plugin called 3ds Max Interactive. This feature allowed 3ds Max users to create virtual reality experiences. In December 2017, citing its inability to compete with Unreal Engine and Unity, Autodesk announced Stingray's end of sale and development as a standalone product, effective as of January 7, 2018. 3DS Max Interactive was discontinued on March 30, 2022. 

On February 8, 2024, Arrowhead Game Studios released Helldivers 2, a third-person co-op shooter built in Stingray, six years after official support ended. CEO Johan Pilestedt confirmed that the game had entered production before the shutdown in 2018.

Games using Bitsquid and Stingray

Bitsquid and Stingray were primarily used by Sweden-based developers, such as Fatshark and Arrowhead Game Studios. Each have used the engine in a number of their games. Games built with the engine include:
