Spartan BP Parawing. The BP Parawing is an American paramotor/powered parachute designed and produced by Spartan Microlights.

Design and development
The aircraft was designed to comply the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules. It features a paraglider-style high-wing, single-place or optionally two-place-in-tandem accommodation and a single  Hirth F-33,  Hirth F-36 or  Radne Raket 120 engine in pusher configuration. As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot, although this aircraft can also fit optional wheels.

Internationale Bauausstellung. An Internationale Bauausstellung (IBA) or International Architecture Exhibition is a German device for urban engineering and architecture, in order to show new concepts in terms of social, cultural and ecologic ideas.

History 
 The first one dates to 1901 and was held in Darmstadt.
 In 1913, there was an IBA on the site of today's Alte Messe in Leipzig. 
 IBA '57 was organised in Berlin.
 1979–87 IBA Berlin was an urban renewal project which followed the strategies of "careful urban renewal" and "critical reconstruction". The program inspired the formation of the group Feministische Organisation von Planerinnen und Architektinnen (Feminist Architects and Planners Organisation or FOPA), who objected to its failure to adequately address women-specific issues and involve female designers. 
 1989–99 IBA Emscher Park aimed at restructuring a former industrial region, the Ruhr, by sparking urbanistic, architectural, cultural, and economic incentives.

Current 
 2027 Stuttgart www.IBA27.de
 2012–20 IBA Parkstad is the first IBA to be held completely outside of Germany, in the former mining region of Parkstad Limburg in the Netherlands. Currently at least 39 projects have been chosen to develop further.

Breese-Dallas Model 1. The Breese-Dallas Model 1 or Breese model X was a prototype single engine airliner that rapidly changed hands throughout the 1930s. It was also known as the Michigan Aircraft Company Model 1, and the Lambert Model 1344.

Design and development
Vance Breese partnered with Detroit auto salesman, Charles Dallas to produce a modern, transcontinental, all-metal construction cargo aircraft. The aircraft was engineered by Art Mankey with some part-time design work by Jerry Vultee, who would go on to develop a slightly larger concept called the Vultee V-1.

The aircraft is a six-passenger, all-metal, single-engine, low-wing monoplane with hydraulically retractable conventional landing gear. The center fuselage is welded steel tubing. The cockpit used a split forward slanting windshield popular on large aircraft of the period, with rearward sliding canopy panels over the pilots. There is a large passenger doorway just behind the right wing. The aircraft was constructed around an eight-inch steel tube jig that was removed after assembly. The first engine used was sourced from a Boeing P-12E from Selfridge Field using a NACA cowling. Four small passenger windows were expanded for better visibility. The engine was upgraded in 1936 to an  Pratt & Whitney SRB-1535 with additional fuel capacity, raising it to .

Operational history

Construction of the Model 1 started in September 1932 and the first flight was made  in February 1933 by Vance Breese and Frederick Coe.

On 1 May 1933, the aircraft was sold to a new company formed by Charles Dallas, and F.A. Culver called the Michigan Aircraft Company. The model 1 was renamed the Michigan Aircraft Company Model 1 on 7 June.

In 1934 The Model 1 was sold to the Dallas owned Select Motor Sales, and again in March to Charles Dallas for testing, and once more to the Lambert Aircraft Corporation where it was registered as the Lambert Model 1344, and sold back to Select Motor Sales.

In 1935 the aircraft was sold again, to Vance Breese who proposed the aircraft as a bomber for the Universal Studios movie Storm over the Andes which starred Jack Holt and Christy Cabanne. Breese prepared the aircraft for the Bendix Trophy race but did not enter that year.

The aircraft was sold to Jacqueline Cochran in October 1936 for use in the 1936 Bendix Race, but on orders from her husband, a gear up landing was made.

In 1937 Cochran sold the aircraft to Paul Mantz's Union Air Services in January, and it was re-registered in Mexico. The Model 1 crashed outside of Mexico City on 10 January 1937 while being delivered to the Spanish Republican Air Force. The pilot was later jailed for smuggling aircraft in violation of the United States Neutrality Act which was blocking weapons from reaching government forces fighting against Fascists during the Spanish Civil War.

Elly Maersk. Elly Maersk is one of the eight E-class container ships operated by the A.P. Moller-Maersk Group.

Hull and engine
Elly Maersk was built by the Odense Steel Shipyard in yard 208 and was completed on 23 September 2007. It is a fully cellular container ship with 23 holds, with a total carrying capacity of 15,500 TEU. The ship is  in length and  across the beam as well as  high. Upon completion the hull was painted with an environmentally friendly silicone paint that would improve the ship's performance and lower its fuel consumption.

The vessel is powered by a Wärtsilä-Sulzer 14RTFLEX96-C diesel electric engine, capable of producing 80,905 kW (109,998 hp) driving one propeller. This two-stroke, 14-cylinder engine was built by the Doosan Engine Company in Changwan. When constructed, the vessel utilized one 8,200 kW and five 5,925 kW auxiliary generators.

Pirate attack
The Elly Maersk is considered to be an impractical target of pirate attacks, in terms of chasing and boarding vessel. On 30 December 2010, the crew of the Elly Maersk reported a suspicious vessel to the UN fleet and 6 suspected pirates were captured by the Danish warship Esbern Snare. The suspected pirates were released on 9 February 2011 due to lack of evidence and returned to the shores of Somalia.

Rocker (laboratory). A rocker is a device used in laboratories for molecular and biological mixing applications.  Rockers are often used in place of shakers when less aggressive mixing is required.

Rockers are commonly used for staining and de-staining gels after electrophoresis, hybridization, washing, blotting, Cell culture and gentle mixing.

Two-dimensional rockers use a platform that moves in a seesaw motion to create waves in liquid laboratory samples. Three-dimensional rockers move a platform in a three-dimensional gyratory motion to create a gentle swirling of samples.

Typical features of laboratory rockers include variable speeds, and tilt angles.  Rockers are often designed to accept stackable platforms or may be outfitted with multiple tiers to increase capacity without increasing the footprint.  Platform surfaces are usually covered with rubber pads to prevent objects from slipping during operation.

Pendulum saw. A pendulum saw or swing saw is a mechanically powered circular saw with the blade mounted so it can swing into the material.

Operation
A swing saw is used for cross cutting wood in a sawmill, or for cutting ice off of a frozen body of waters. The saw is hung on a swinging arm, sometimes with a counterbalance weight. 

A swing saw is also sometimes called a cut-off trim saw in a mill for cutting right angle to the direction of the wood grain. A swing saw is a very dangerous tool, even with a blade guard. Early models were driven by a belt, usually made of leather, that was powered by a water mill or later a steam engine. Today the power source is an electric motor or a gas engine

Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival
Swing saws are used to carve ice blocks from the frozen Songhua River for the Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival each year.

Ira G. Hedrick. Ira Grant Hedrick (April 6, 1868 – December 28, 1937) was an American civil engineer who designed the Burnside Bridge in Oregon, the Red River Bridge, Clarendon, and Newport bridges in Arkansas, and many other bridges and viaducts.

Hedrick designed many large scale bridges in Arkansas in late 1920s through early 1930s. Hedrick was also president of the Kansas City Viaduct and Terminal Railway Company.
The Historic American Engineering Record says that he was "one of the outstanding engineers of the South".

Hedrick was a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers.

In 1899, Hedrick was promoted by J.A.L. Waddell from Chief Draftsman to Partner of the firm Waddell & Hedrick, where he assisted in the design of Canada's New Westminster Bridge (opened 1904).

Life and career 
Hedrick was born in West Salem, Illinois. He received his B.S. in civil engineering University of Arkansas at Fayetteville in 1892. He received another bachelor's degree from the university in 1899 in Applied Science and M.S. degree in 1901. He earned his D.Sc. degree from McGill University in 1905.
