106 Squadron (Israel). 106 Squadron of the Israeli Air Force, also known as Tip Of The Spear or Spearhead Squadron (Hebrew:טייסת חוד החנית), operates F-15B/C/D fighters out of Tel Nof Airbase.

History 
The squadron was created on June 13, 1948, for transportation purposes. 

The squadron first operated transport aircraft such as the C-46 Commandos, L-049 Constellations and Douglas C-54 Skymaster. It flew under the cover of a fake airliner company called Lineas Aereas de Panama. It first participated in Operation Balak in 1948. 

The squadron was disbanded in June 1949. The squadron's aircraft were transferred to an airliner company called Arkia Airlines. 

It was reformed on June 11, 1982, and fought in the 1982 Lebanon War. Since the Lebanon War, the squadron is credited with five aerial victories from 1982 to 1985. The squadron's F-15s flew combat air patrols during Desert Storm to screen possible air attacks from the Iraqi Air Force.

In 1983 Negev mid-air collision, the squadron almost lost an aircraft.

Ammonium alum. Ammonium aluminium sulfate, also known as ammonium alum or just alum (though there are many different substances also called "alum"), is a white crystalline double sulfate usually encountered as the dodecahydrate, formula (NH4)Al(SO4)2·12H2O. It is used in small amounts in a variety of niche applications. The dodecahydrate occurs naturally as the rare mineral tschermigite.

Production and basic properties
Ammonium alum is made from aluminium hydroxide, sulfuric acid and ammonium sulfate. It forms a solid solution with potassium alum. Pyrolysis leaves alumina. Such alumina is used in the production of grinding powders and as precursors to synthetic gems.

Uses
Ammonium alum is not a major industrial chemical or a particularly useful laboratory reagent, but it is cheap and effective, which invites many niche applications. It is used in water purification, in vegetable glues, in porcelain cements, in deodorants and in tanning, dyeing and in fireproofing textiles. The pH of the solution resulting from the topical application of ammonium alum with perspiration is typically in the slightly acid range, from 3 to 5.

Ammonium alum is a common ingredient in animal repellent sprays.

Packard Bell Navigator. Packard Bell Navigator is an alternative shell for the Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 operating systems that shipped with Packard Bell computers in the mid 1990s. The shell was designed to be simpler to use for computer novices by representing applications as objects in a virtual home, similar to Microsoft Bob and At Ease. The software was originally developed by a company called Ark Interface, which was acquired by Packard Bell in 1994.

It was possible for Navigator to function on non-Packard Bell Windows PCs.

Design and functionality 
Most pre-1995 versions contained a GUI very similar to Apple Computer's At Ease, but without the folders.  Unlike At Ease, programs were grouped in sections such as "Microsoft DOS", "Microsoft Windows", "Service & Support", and "Software". The "Software" section was the only section users could customise and modify program icons, paths, and links. The above sections appeared as icons at startup.

Navigator was a standard Windows program, meaning when the computer was booted, Windows would start and load Navigator from the startup directory. If the Windows icon in Navigator was clicked, the program would become minimized. If Navigator was removed from the Startup folder, it would not load at Windows startup. This is similar to the design of Microsoft Bob, which ran on top of Windows, and At Ease, which ran on top of the classic Mac OS Finder.

A 3D version, named Packard Bell 3D Navigator, shipped in 2000–2001.

Security, user accounts, and passwords 
Unlike At Ease, which allowed multiple password-protected user accounts, Navigator only allowed password protection on each of the sections (only one password).  However, multiple user accounts were not possible.  All users were granted the same privileges.

The Green Project. The Green Project is a not-for-profit environmental organization established in 1994 in St. Roch, New Orleans, Louisiana. The Green Project began as a salvage operation to recover unwanted paint then expanded to used building materials in 1996. In the past, the project participated in the deconstruction of New Orleans's homes and buildings but has since focused only on donations. The project operates a retail outlet, and community workshops. Materials accepted include:

Reusable building materials (e.g., lumber, doors, windows, bricks, tiles, lighting fixtures and sanitary ware)
Donated latex paint is re-blended to create recycled paint; oil-based paints and primers are also accepted as part of the Second Line Recycled Paint Program

Following the massive destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, The Green Project was involved in the salvage of building materials to be reused by the New Orleans community. The paint recycling program is the region's only paint recycling center and the only source of paint disposal for Orleans Parish. It was created to reduce the volume of paint disposed of in landfills or by pouring down drains and claims to have prevented over 100,000 gallons of paint from reaching the Mississippi River and surrounding wetlands. On average it recycles 15,000 gallons of latex paint annually.

Volunteers serve in all aspects of The Green Project, from recycling paint to conducting workshops. In 2007, The Green Project and a number of other non-profit organizations in New Orleans partnered with Tulane University Center for Public Service to better serve the needs of the New Orleans community. Through this partnership, Tulane University students volunteer at The Green Project to better learn and reflect upon issues of sustainability, social entrepreneurship, and rebuilding issues in New Orleans.

The project held a re-opening event on 13 October 2012.

Edward Entwistle. Edward Entwistle, born 24 March 1815 in Tyldesley, Lancashire, was the first driver of a passenger train on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Apprenticed as an engineer at the age of 11, he worked at the Bridgewater Trust works, where the Rocket locomotive was under construction.

When the work was completed, George Stephenson requested an assistant and the 16-year-old Entwistle was on the footplate during the locomotive's first trials—eventually becoming its official driver when it began its twice daily service between Liverpool and Manchester. Entwistle later became a marine engineer and emigrated to the United States.

His death on 31 October 1909 in Des Moines, Iowa was reported in The Washington Post.

Files transferred over shell protocol. Files transferred over Shell protocol (FISH) is a network protocol that uses Secure Shell (SSH) or Remote Shell (RSH) to transfer files between computers and manage remote files.

The advantage of FISH is that all it requires on the server-side is an SSH or RSH implementation, Unix shell, and a set of standard Unix utilities (like ls, cat or dd—unlike other methods of remote access to files via a remote shell, scp for example, which requires scp on the server side). Optionally, there can be a special FISH server program (called start_fish_server) on the server, which executes FISH commands instead of Unix shell and thus speeds up operations.

The protocol was designed by Czech Linux Kernel Hacker, Pavel Machek, in 1998 for the Midnight Commander software tool.

Protocol messages 
Client sends text requests of the following form:

 #FISH_COMMAND arguments...
 equivalent shell commands,
 which may be multi-line

Fish commands are all defined, shell equivalents may vary.
Fish commands always have priority: the server is expected to execute a fish command if it understands it. If it does not, however, it can try to execute a shell command.
When there is no special server program, Unix shell ignores the fish command as a comment and executes the equivalent shell command(s).

Server replies are multi-line, but always end with

 ### xyz<optional text>

line. ### is a prefix to mark this line, xyz is the return code.
Return codes are a superset to those used in FTP.
The codes 000 and 001 are special, their meaning depends on presence of server output before the end line.

Session initiation 
The client initiates SSH or RSH connection with echo FISH:;/bin/sh as the command executed on remote machine. This should make it possible for the server to distinguish FISH connections from normal RSH or SSH.

The first two commands sent to the server are FISH and VER to negotiate FISH protocol, its version and extensions.

 #FISH
 echo; start_fish_server; echo '### 200'

 #VER 0.0.2 <feature1> <feature2> <...>
 echo '### 000'

The server may reply to VER command with a lines like
 VER 0.0.0 <feature2> <...>
 ### 200
which indicates supported version of the FISH protocol and supported extensions.

Implementations 
 Midnight Commander
 far2l
 Lftp
 fish:// KDE kioslave (with konqueror, Krusader or Dolphin)
 fish as tcl-vfs
 FISH was implemented in Emacs TRAMP some time ago, but support was removed (although TRAMP still can use shell connections in a similar way using tramp-sh.el script file)

John Roberts (Australian businessman). John Charles Roberts  (23 January 1934 - 8 June 2006) was an Australian businessman who was the founding chairman and an executive director of construction company Multiplex.

Early life and career
On leaving school he worked in the construction industry in Broken Hill in New South Wales between 1951 and 1958. From 1959 to 1961 he worked on the Menindee irrigation system and the pumping station which brought water from the Darling River to Broken Hill.

Multiplex
Roberts established Multiplex in 1962. He was Chief Executive between 1962 and 2003 and Chairman until 2005. As Perth boomed, Multiplex expanded nationally across Australia and then internationally.

Multiplex successfully bid for the 1.2 billion project to rebuild Wembley Stadium. However, this project was plagued by cost overruns and missed deadlines leading to his resignation as Executive Chairman in 2005. In 2006, the  BRW Rich List estimated his net worth at 740 million, down from 1.1 billion the previous year. A year after his death, the Roberts family sold out of Multiplex in 2007, with its controlling interest acquired by Brookfield Asset Management.

Awards 
In 1988, Roberts was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia for service to the construction industry and to the sport of horse racing. Roberts was awarded the Centenary Medal in 2001.

Roberts was inducted into the Property Council of Australia Hall of Fame in August 2017; eleven years after he accepted the invitation, planned to be awarded in August 2006.

Personal life
Roberts married Angela Egerton-Warburton in 1964 with the marriage being dissolved in 1999. His children are Andrew Roberts, Tim Roberts, and Denby Macgregor.

He was a keen supporter of horse racing serving as the Chairman of the Western Australian Turf Club between 1984 and 1987. He served on the committee between 1971 and 1987.

Roberts died at his home in Perth at the age of 72 after a long battle with diabetes.

D. W. Harvey. David William Harvey, B.A.Sc., M.E.I.C. (February 24, 1887 – December 6, 1938) was a Canadian engineer and transportation manager.  He was a key player in the early development of the Toronto Transportation Commission and served as the transit operator's second General Manager, from 1924 until his death in 1938.

He was born in London, Ontario, and graduated from the University of Toronto with a degree in Civil Engineering.  In 1910 he worked for the Ontario Power Company at Niagara Falls.  The next year he became Resident Engineer of the Railway and Bridge Section of the City of Toronto government Works Department.  He was in charge of both construction and operation of the new Toronto Civic Railways, a loose network of four streetcar lines that was built by the City of Toronto because the privately owned Toronto Railway Company refused to build new lines to serve developing districts.  On September 1, 1921, Harvey became Assistant Manager of the new Toronto Transportation Commission, which merged and consolidated most public and private street railways in Toronto. He became General Manager on May 1, 1924, after H. H. Couzens, the first General Manager, resigned.

Harvey was a well-liked and effective manager, who had excellent knowledge of the technical aspects of operating and maintaining a transit system.  He personally held several patents for transit equipment, including the design of a three-door trailer, pulled by Peter Witt-type motor cars, that significantly speeded up boarding times, compared to the two-door trailers that were previously operated.  He introduced motor buses on lightly travelled feeder routes, and presided over the creation and expansion of Gray Coach Lines, the TTC's intercity motor coach operator.

The main shop facility at the TTC Hillcrest Complex on Bathurst Street, which opened in 1924, was renamed D.W. Harvey Shops in his honour.

Child Flight. Child Flight was an Australian helicopter service dedicated to the emergency transport of sick children. It operated two twin-engined instrument-flight rated helicopters. As a not-for-profit organisation, the service relied on community support and corporate sponsorship to complement a government operating grant.

The service was located at the Newborn and paediatric Emergency Transport Service (NETS) statewide base at Westmead in Sydney. It was the preferred helicopter transport vehicle for NETS, the emergency medical transport service for newborns, infants and children. The service employed ten pilots, an aircraft maintenance engineer and fundraising and office staff.

History
Founded by Bart Bassett, Dr. Andrew Berry and Jeremy Ovens to supply air transport to NETS, the service started with a twin-engine BO 105 helicopter on 19 November 1989. Within twelve months, a new BK 117 was delivered from the factory in Germany as the flagship of the service.

In 2000, a second helicopter was purchased to improve service continuity to NETS. It was a twin-engined Eurocopter AS365 N2 Dauphin with tricycle retractable landing gear and high-speed, long distance performance. In June 2010, another aircraft was introduced into the fleet; a Bell 412EP which provided more working space, carrying capacity and operating range than has previously been available from the BK 117.

In late November, it was announced that Child Flight's contract would cease on 31 December 2012 after the New South Wales Government awarded the Newborn and paediatric Emergency Transport Service contract to CareFlight. Child Flight had hoped to have the contract extended by six months, in order to sell the three aircraft without "fire sale" prices.

In December, the New South Wales Ministry of Health and Child Flight negotiated an agreement which will give Child Flight five months and  to complete its transition, by ceasing its aviation arm but retaining a charity arm in support of medical retrieval. Child Flight and CareFlight also negotiated an agreement for a two-month lease for one helicopter from Child Flight, to continue the services that was once provided by Child Flight from 1 January 2013.

Ilyushin Il-102. The Ilyushin Il-102 is a Soviet experimental jet-powered ground-attack aircraft designed by Ilyushin. This aircraft was never chosen for production, being surpassed by the Su-25. Only a few development prototypes were built.

Design and development
In 1967, the Soviet Air Forces drew up a specification for a jet-powered shturmovik or armoured ground attack aircraft. While Sukhoi designed an all-new single seat aircraft, the Su-25, Ilyushin proposed a modified version of their Il-40 of 1953 under the designation Il-42, which, unlike the Sukhoi, was a two-seat aircraft with a remotely-controlled rear gun turret. The design was rejected by the Soviet Air Forces, but Ilyushin decided to continue in-house development regardless, renaming the programme Il-102.

The Il-102 first prototype flew on 25 September 1982, with a second airframe built for static tests, and carried out 250 test flights until it was grounded in 1984 when the engine life expired.

The Il-102 was a low-winged monoplane with moderately swept (30 degrees) wings, powered by two Klimov RD-33I turbofans (non-afterburning versions of the engines that power the Mikoyan MiG-29 fighter). It was highly unusual for its time in having a rear gun turret, something not seen in ground-attack aircraft since the World War II Il-2 Shturmovik and Il-10, the Il-102's spiritual ancestors, controlled remotely by a gunner sitting in a cockpit above the trailing edge of the wing. The crew cockpits, engines and fuel tanks were armoured to protect against ground fire.

Although development was abandoned in 1984, the prototype Il-102 was publicly unveiled at the 1992 Mosaeroshow air show at Zhukovsky, being claimed to be available for export. 

As of 2005, the prototype No. 10201 was placed on display at the Gromov Flight Research Institute.

W. E. P. Duncan. Wilfred Eben Pinkerton Duncan (1897 – 28 January 1977) was an important figure in the early period of the Toronto Transit Commission's history.

He was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and graduated with a B.Sc. degree in engineering from Glasgow University. He emigrated to Canada and worked from 1910 to 1914 in the construction department of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Between 1915 and 1919 he served overseas in the Great War with the Canadian Expeditionary Force and the Royal Engineers, attaining the rank of Major. After the war he worked as a construction engineer in Toronto. He joined the Toronto Transportation Commission in 1921, and served in various engineering roles. By 1945 he was the TTC's Chief Engineer, and he became General Manager, the senior staff position, in 1952. In 1959, when the senior position was split in two, he became General Manager – Subway Construction, while John G. Inglis assumed the role of General Manager - Operations. Duncan retired in 1961 but remained active as a General Consultant to the TTC until the opening of the University Subway in 1963.

He was instrumental in the growth of the system and was in charge of the TTC during the building of the Yonge Subway.

The Duncan Shops, a heavy bus maintenance facility at the TTC's Hillcrest Complex, is named in his honour.
