An Introduction to the Rock-Forming Minerals. An Introduction to the Rock-Forming Minerals (known familiarly as DHZ, from the surnames of its authors), is a reference book by William Alexander Deer, Robert Andrew Howie, and Jack Zussman often considered the "bible" of mineralogy. It covers hundreds of minerals, with details of their structure, chemistry, optical and physical properties, distinguishing features, and paragenesis. Entries range from one or two pages for obscure minerals, to dozens of pages for important ones like feldspars. The first edition was published in 1966, and a substantially expanded second edition in 1992. A third edition was published in 2013.
It is intended as a reference book for undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Introduction to the Rock-forming Minerals is a condensed version of the multi-volume work Rock-forming Minerals by the same authors, which was published in 1962-3 with a second edition beginning in 1978, totalling 11 volumes. The condensed version omits some references, etymology, and chemical analysis present in the larger work.

Carbon monosulfide. Carbon monosulfide is a chemical compound with the formula CS. This diatomic molecule is the sulfur analogue of carbon monoxide, and is unstable as a solid or a liquid, but it has been observed as a gas both in the laboratory and in the interstellar medium. The molecule resembles carbon monoxide with a triple bond between carbon and sulfur. The molecule is not intrinsically unstable, but it tends to polymerize. This tendency reflects the greater stability of C–S single bonds.

Polymers with the formula (CS)n have been reported, and the formal dimer is ethenedithione. Also, CS has been observed as a ligand in some transition metal complexes.

Wallis & Steevens. Wallis & Steevens of Basingstoke, Hampshire, England produced agricultural equipment, traction engines and steam and diesel road rollers.

History

The company was founded in 1856 by Arthur Wallis and Charles Haslam in newly built premises which they named The North Hants Ironworks. The works were sited on Station Hill in Basingstoke and the company began trading as Wallis & Haslam. Shortly afterwards the company was highly commended for its hand-worked bench drilling machine at the 1857 Royal Agricultural show in Salisbury. Even at this early stage, the company was producing a wide variety of agricultural equipment, and alongside the bench drill were corn drills, turnip drills, four types of horse hoe, drag harrows, a 3 hp threshing machine, a barley hummeller and sundry other devices. In 1862 a third partner, Charles James Steevens, joined the company and when Charles Haslam retired in 1869 the company became Wallis & Steevens.
The date of production for the company's first Portable steam engine is not known although the earliest surviving drawing is dated 1866. The first traction engine, an 8 hp single, was built in 1877 from drawings by Arthur Herbert Wallis (son of the company founder) and this vehicle made its trial run on 21 June that year. The vehicle, named Success on the strength of its performance during the test, was given the works number T250.

Manufacture of steam vehicles gradually gave way to internal combustion models from the 1930s and production continued at the Station Hill premises until its enforced closure with the redevelopment of Basingstoke town centre during 1966/67. Production was then transferred to a site at Daneshill where the company enjoyed a brief resurgence before the general trading recession of 1980/81. In May 1981 agreement was reached with BSP International Foundations Ltd of Ipswich to "take over the designs and copyrights of the current production models, together with spares, components and goodwill, and for the business to be transferred to the BSP works at Claydon". The transfer was completed by July 1981 and at that point Wallis & Steevens ceased to trade.

Preservation

Four Wallis & Steevens vehicles, including an example of the unusual Simplicity steamroller with its steeply inclined boiler, can be seen at the Milestones Museum in Basingstoke. More than 180 engines, mostly privately owned, have survived.

System Object Model (file format). In computing, the System Object Model (SOM) is a proprietary executable file format developed by Hewlett-Packard for its HP-UX and MPE/ix operating systems.
In particular, SOM is the native format used for 32-bit application executables, object code, and shared libraries running under the PA-RISC family of processors.

With the introduction of 64-bit processors, Hewlett Packard adopted the Executable and Linkable Format (ELF) format to represent the wider 64-bit program code, while still using SOM for applications running in 32-bit mode.  Later, with the introduction of the Itanium processor family, HP-UX has abandoned the SOM format in favor of ELF for both 32-bit and 64-bit application code.

In HP-UX the SOM file format is sometimes called the a.out format and is described by C programming language structures in the header file "/usr/include/a.out.h".  However the SOM format is technically not the same as the standard a.out format used by many other Unix operating systems.

Overview of the SOM file format 
A SOM file consists of a fixed-size header record followed by a number of sections, some of which are optional.  The header always appears at the beginning of the file and contains the byte offsets and sizes of where the other sections are located within the file.  Except for the header the other sections may appear anywhere in the file, although the typical layout of a SOM file (assuming all sections are present) is as follows:

 Header Record
 Auxiliary Header Record
 Space Records
 Subspace Records
 Loader Fixup Records
 Space Strings
 Symbol Records
 Fixup Records
 Symbol Strings
 Compiler Records
 Data for Loadable Spaces
 Data for Unloadable Spaces

Numeric fields are stored in big endian byte order, the native byte order of the PA-RISC, with most being 32-bit wide.  Character strings are generally encoded in 8-bit ASCII and both prefixed with a 32-bit length indicator as well as being null-terminated, like C strings.  Most records are word-aligned (start at even-byte offsets) with padding introduced as necessary.

M816 Wrecker. The M816 Medium Wrecker is part of the M809 series of 5-ton 6x6 military trucks. It was made by AM General starting in 1970.  It has a revolving hydraulic crane with an extending boom that can extend from 10–18 ft with a maximum lift capacity of 20,000 lb with outriggers and boom jacks to the ground. The boom capacity depends on boom extension and placements of truck outriggers and boom jacks. With boom full out and no outriggers, the capacity is only 3000 lb. The boom elevates to 45 degrees, swings 270.

The fuel consumption rate is 5 mpg. The towing capacity is 14 tons on road or 10 tons cross country (or off-road). The front winch has a 20Klb capacity and the rear winch is 45klb capacity.

These trucks were specially built for the United States Army to pull medium duty equipment through non-incorporated terrain.

Ed Mitchell (rower). Edward Paul Mitchell, Jr. (July 23, 1901 – June 25, 1970) was an American construction engineer, and a rower who at 22 competed in the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris. In 1924 he won the bronze medal as member of the American boat in the coxed four event.

Ed Mitchell rowed for the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1923, and then joined the Bachelor’s Barge Club. Mitchell won a bronze medal with the Barge Club four at the 1924 Paris Olympics. He was a construction engineer.  He served for a period as Captain of Penn's Varsity eight, particularly in 1922.

Olympics
In the Olympic qualifying round, Mitchell rowed in front in the bow position in a coxed four with four other members of the Bachelor's Barge Club on Philadelphia's Schuykill River on June 13, 1924.

Paris competition
After their arrival in Paris, the American coxed fours team from Philadelphia won their heat in the preliminary round with a time of 7 minutes 19 seconds for the 1.24 mile course.  In the final round, the Americans won the bronze medal in the coxed four event. The competition, the fourth appearance of the event, was held from July 13–17, 1924 on the river Seine. There were 10 boats (51 competitors, with Switzerland making one substitution) from 10 nations, with each nation limited to a single boat in the event. The competition was won by Switzerland, the nation's second consecutive victory in the event, with France taking the Silver medal.

As shown at left, the coxed four event featured five-person boats, with four rowers and a coxswain shown as a yellow dot.  It was a sweep rowing event, with the rowers each having one oar and each rowing on one side. The competition used the 2000 metres (1.24 miles) distance that became standard at the 1912 Olympics and which has been used ever since.  The Americans finished with a time of 7:23, only two and a half seconds behind France who took the bronze.  Switzerland, the pre-race favorite, finished with a sizable three-minute lead over second place France.  Bob Gerhardt took the position of bowsmen in the front,  Sid Jelinek rowed in seat two, Mitchell rowed third, Henry Welsford rowed fourth (last) or Sweep, and John Kennedy functioned as coxswain.

Mitchell died in Philadelphia on June 25, 1970.

Tetrachloroaluminate. Tetrachloroaluminate [AlCl4]− is an anion formed from aluminium and chlorine. The anion has a tetrahedral shape and is isoelectronic with silicon tetrachloride. Some tetrachloroaluminates are soluble in organic solvents, creating an ionic non-aqueous solution, making them suitable as component of electrolytes for batteries. For example, lithium tetrachloroaluminate is used in some lithium batteries.

Formation 
Tetrachloroaluminate ions are formed as intermediates in the Friedel–Crafts reactions when aluminium chloride is used as the catalyst. In the case of the Friedel–Crafts alkylation, the reaction can be broken into three steps as follows:
 The alkyl halide reacts with the strong Lewis acid to form an activated electrophile composed of the tetrachloroaluminate ion and the alkyl group.

 The aromatic ring (benzene in this case) reacts with the activated electrophile forming an alkylbenzenium carbocation.

 The alkylbenzenium carbocation reacts with a tetrachloroaluminate anion, regenerating the aromatic ring and the Lewis acid and forming hydrochloric acid (HCl).

A similar mechanism occurs in the Friedel-Crafts acylation.

West Bar Quarter. 

Overview 

The West Bar scheme is a £300 million regeneration scheme in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England on the edge of the City centre planned by Urbo (West Bar) Limited.

The scheme will deliver a large-scale, mixed use development which will provide large footprint buildings across seven acres of land.

When complete, West Bar will be transformed into approaching 1M sq.ft. of new space in a vibrant mixed-use environment. When completed, in addition to offices, it will also contain retail, leisure, hotel and living space and integrated parking.

Masterplan and Vision 
The regeneration of West Bar aims to regenerate a previously under-utilised part of Sheffield City centre and bring back to life an important gateway site adjacent to Sheffield's city centre ring road.

The development masterplan for West Bar contains 10 building plots which are mixed use in nature. The plots allow for a range of uses as part of the outline planning consent however, principally will be focussed on office and residential uses allowing for ground floor retail / leisure uses. The layout has been conceived with flexibility in mind in terms of use, exact scale, design and the ability to combine them as larger buildings.

The plots are a starting point for a flexible approach to providing fantastic space for businesses with varying size and use requirements from approximately 10,000 sq.ft.

Legal & General 
In April 2020, Legal & General, working with the developers Urbo (West Bar) Liimited and Sheffield City Council, agreed to fund the first phase of the West Bar scheme. This involves the funding of circa £150 million of investment to Sheffield and will see the delivery of a 100,000 sq ft office block, multi-storey car park and circa 368 apartments on the site.

This important deal represents a partnership between Legal & General, Sheffield City Council and Urbo (West Bar) Ltd – the joint venture between Urbo Regeneration and Peveril Securities (the development arm of the Bowmer and Kirkland Group).

MIMIC Simulator. MIMIC Simulator is a product suite from Gambit Communications consisting of simulation software in the network and systems management space.

The MIMIC Simulator Suite has several components related to simulation of managed networks and data centers for the purposes of software development, software testing or training, sales and marketing of network management applications (see).

MIMIC SNMP simulator solves a classical simulation problem: network management or operations support system software typically manages large networks. Traditionally, in order to set up such networks for the above purposes, physical equipment had to be separately purchased and assembled in laboratories. To reduce the expense, most of the network can be simulated (e.g. see).

The principle behind SNMP simulation is that the SNMP protocol is an interface that can be simulated. SNMP requests carry data values for MIB objects, which can be shaped at will by the simulator, thus representing any device which has an SNMP interface. In contrast to network simulation, where the entire network is modeled within a computer, this type of empirical simulation is visible on the network, and one can communicate with the simulator over the network.

The concept can be extended to other protocols such as for 
 cable modems, 
 CLI such as Cisco IOS (see) or TL1,
 flow-based monitoring such as NetFlow or sFlow, 
 server management based on IPMI or DMTF Redfish,
 IoT protocols such as MQTT, CoAP.

Modern management software typically uses multiple protocols to manage networks. The simulator thus should integrate the required protocols to present authentic instrumentation.

Components 
MIMIC IOS Simulator allows simulating the CLI protocol as encountered with Cisco IOS, JUNOS, TL/1. The low-end MIMIC Virtual Lab products can be used for training for Cisco CCNA.

MIMIC NetFlow Simulator creates many custom NetFlow exporters, MIMIC sFlow Simulator does the same for sFlow.

MIMIC IPMI Simulator simulates the IPMI RMCP via LAN interface for high-end servers.

MIMIC Web Simulator handles HTTP / SOAP / XML / WSDL / WSMAN / Redfish interfaces for management via Web services.

MIMIC IoT Simulator creates large IoT environments based on standard protocols MQTT, CoAP.

Triarylmethane dye. Triarylmethane dyes are synthetic organic compounds containing  triphenylmethane backbones. As dyes, these compounds are intensely colored.  They are produced industrially as dyes.

Families
Triarylmethane dyes can be grouped into families according to the nature of the substituents on the aryl groups.  In some cases, the anions associated with the cationic dyes (say crystal violet) vary even though the name of the dye does not.  Often it is shown as chloride.

Methyl violet dyes
Methyl violet dyes have dimethylamino groups at the p-positions of two aryl groups.

Fuchsine dyes
Fuchsine dyes have primary or secondary amines (NH2 or NHMe) functional groups at the p-positions of each aryl group.

Phenol dyes
Phenol dyes have hydroxyl groups at the p positions of at least two aryl groups.

Malachite green dyes
Malachite green dyes are related to the methyl violet dyes, except that they contain one phenyl (C6H5) group.

Victoria blue dyes
Victoria blue dyes are related to the methyl violet dyes, except they contain one naphthylamino group.  Variation is found is dimethylamine vs diethylamino substituents on the phenyl rings and variations of the secondary amine on the naphthyl group.

Xanthene dyes

Xanthene dyes feature a xanthene core.  They are not widely used as textiles, but for other applications.

Bridged arenes
Where two of the aryl groups are bridged by a heteroatom, these triarylmethane compounds may be further categorized into acridines (nitrogen-bridged), xanthenes (oxygen-bridged), and thioxanthenes (sulfur-bridged).

Synthesis
The amine-containing dyes are often prepared from Michler's ketone or its diethylamino analogue.  In this way, the third aryl group is readily differentiated.  The Friedel–Crafts alkylation reaction is a popular method to prepare many of the phenolic derivatives:

Applications
In addition to their dominant use as dyes, many of these dyes react reversibly with acid and base, and thus serve as pH indicators.
