Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen. The Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen (BRS), founded in 1901, is a labor union representing over 10,000 signal employees across the United States and Canada. These members are responsible for the installation, maintenance, and repair of critical railroad traffic control systems, including signaling equipment, highway-rail grade crossing warning systems, and switching mechanisms. The union also represents employees involved in manufacturing and building signal equipment.

Signal employees play a vital role in maintaining the safety and efficiency of rail transportation networks. Their work includes upgrading signal systems, performing regular inspections, and restoring operations in the event of system failures. Signalmen undergo extensive training through a combination of on-the-job experience and formal apprenticeship programs, which cover federal regulations, railroad operations, electronics, and mechanics. After completing up to four years of apprenticeship, members achieve journeyman status, with many advancing further in modern technology and electronic circuitry.

The BRS is headquartered in Front Royal, Virginia, and operates through a network of local lodges that represent members employed by specific railroads or divisions.

The union is affiliated with the AFL-CIO and its Transportation Trades Department, emphasizing its active role within the broader labor movement. It represents signal employees across both freight and passenger railroads, including commuter rail lines.

The BRS's leadership consists of President Michael S. Baldwin, who has held the position since 2021, and Secretary-Treasurer James M. Finnegan, serving since 2019. Vice Presidents include Tim Tarrant, Cory Claypool, Kurt Mullins, Quinn Norman, Brandon Elvey, and Doug VanderJagt.

The Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen remains dedicated to promoting the well-being of its members, advancing the craft of railroad signaling, and advocating for the recognition of workers' rights. It strives to enhance members' prosperity and happiness while upholding the principles of truth, justice, and solidarity.

Mastretta Unidiseño. The Mastretta Unediseño (previously Unediseño Mastretta) was a kit-car coupé designed and manufactured by Mexican kit-car manufacturer Mastretta.

History
Unediseño was created around 1991 by Daniel Mastretta, Mexican designer and his brother Carlos and usually manufactures metropolitan peseros and buses.
However, Mastretta was interested in the world of kit-cars so he created his own car. He took the chassis of the popular Volkswagen Beetle and made a fibreglass body, with a similar design to that of the Chevrolet Corvette and the Ferrari 360.

Despite the sportive car image, the engine remained the same  of the Beetle so the top speed of this car is .
This is the only car produced by Unediseño and was sold in Germany and in the United States.

Mastretta

Following the creation of the Mastretta MXT serial-production project, the previous Unediseño cars are now called Mastretta MXA and Mastretta MXB. Then, the Mastretta Unediseño may be considered Unediseño's first car, and the MXT, Mastretta's first car although they remain the same maker.

Cmus. cmus (C Music Player) is a console audio player for Unix-like operating systems. cmus is distributed under the terms of the GPL-2.0-or-later and is operated exclusively through a text-based user interface, built with ncurses.

Employing a text-only design significantly reduces the resource demands for the program's operation, making it an optimal selection for  underpowered computer systems. Moreover, it is advantageous for systems that do not possess a GUI, such as the X Window System. In some cases, using a terminal application can significantly accelerate navigating through the program.

History 
cmus was originally written by Timo Hirvonen. At around June 2008, he discontinued development of cmus, which resulted in a fork named "cmus-unofficial" in November 2008. After a year of development, a takeover request was sent to SourceForge, which was granted after a 90-day period without response from the original author. This resulted in a merge of the fork back into the official project in February 2010.

User interface 
The interface of cmus is centered on views. There are two views on the music library (an artist/album tree and a flat sortable list) and views on playlists, the current play queue, the file system and for filters/settings. There is always only one view visible at any time.

Owing to the console-orientation and portability goals of the project, cmus is controlled exclusively via the keyboard.
Commands are loosely modeled after those of the vi text editor. General operation mimics being in command-mode of vi, where complex commands are issued by prepending them with a colon, (e.g. ":add /home/user/music-dir"), simpler, more common commands are bound to individual keys, such as "j/k" moving down/up, or "x" starting playback, and searches beginning with "/" as in "/the beatles".

Core features 

 Support for multiple audio formats: Ogg Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, Musepack, WavPack, Wav, MPEG-4/AAC, ALAC, WMA, APE, TTA, SHN and MOD.
 Gapless playback
 ReplayGain support
 MP3 and Ogg streaming (SHOUTcast/Icecast)
 Powerful music library filters / live filtering
 Play queue
 Compilations handling
 Customizable colors and dynamic keybindings
 Vi style search and command mode
 Remotely controllable through cmus-remote program (UNIX socket or TCP/IP)
 Compatibility with numerous Unix-like systems, including Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Cygwin and OpenWrt

Keybindings 
Here is a list of some common keybindings to interact with cmus while in the terminal, taken from the official manpage on a Linux distribution:

Dreadnought (comics). Dreadnoughts are a type of fictional robot appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. They are frequently employed by villainous organizations, with various models appearing. The robots first appeared in Strange Tales #154 (March 1967).

Fictional character biography
The Dreadnought is a non-sentient robotic combat instrument originally created by Hydra for commando operations. It is first used in an attempt to assassinate Nick Fury.

Later, the Dreadnought's design and specifications are sold to the Maggia cartel, who build the Silver Dreadnought.

Some time later, Advanced Idea Mechanics design the Dreadnought 2000, which is stored at Target Technologies in Rutherford, New Jersey.

A rebuilt version is used years later during an attack on London, during which it battles Union Jack.

Zeke Stane later builds new Dreadnought models, which the Mandarin uses to attack the Three Gorges Dam.

In "Iron Man 2020", several Dreadnoughts appear as members of the A.I. Army.

Powers and abilities
The original Dreadnought is made from a durable titanium alloy and is programmed to be a skilled hand-to-hand combatant. Additionally, it possesses flamethrowers, spiked knuckles, radioactive eye beams, Freon ice breath, and the ability to generate electricity.

The Dreadnought 2000 designed by A.I.M. has all the abilities of the previous models as well as the ability to generate water, acid, oil, adhesives, anesthetic gas, napalm, and beams capable of liquefying steel or solidifying gas.

Akaflieg Stuttgart fs24. The Akaflieg Stuttgart fs24, nicknamed Phönix (German: "Phoenix"), was a glider designed and built in West Germany from 1951.

Design and development
The fs24 was the first glider to use fibreglass in its construction. The development of modern aerofoil sections for gliders required very accurate reproduction with smooth surfaces, using tolerances that were extremely difficult to achieve using conventional wood or metal construction, but could be achieved by using composite materials laid up in a mould.

The design of the fs24 was started at Akaflieg Stuttgart, (Akademische Fliegergruppe - academic flying group), by Richard Eppler and Hermann Nägele in 1951. Originally it was constructed of balsa wood with a strengthened outer layer of paper and glue layers, which proved unsatisfactory. The project was abandoned until a grant for further research was received from the state of Baden-Württemberg. By then glass fibre reinforced polyester resin was available and so it was redesigned using a balsa wood/glass fibre sandwich, with the load-bearing points and the edge of the cockpit canopy strengthened with plywood.

The first flight was made on 27 November 1957, and good performance and excellent handling were demonstrated, especially in weak thermal conditions. The prototype had a conventional tail unit and a bumper instead of a conventional undercarriage. Airbrakes were fitted on the underside of the wing trailing edges.

Bölkow built eight fs24s, designated Phönix T, differing in the use of a T-tail and retractable undercarriage.

Horten H.IV. The Horten H.IV is a German tailless flying wing glider in which the pilot was to lie in a prone position to reduce the frontal area, and hence drag. It was designed by Reimar and Walter Horten in Göttingen.  Four were built between 1941 and 1943. They were flown in a number of unofficial competitions in Germany during World War II. After the war the flying examples were transported to the United Kingdom and the United States where several contest successes were achieved.

Test pilot Captain Eric Brown describes flying a Horten IV at RAE Farnborough in May 1947 towed by a Fieseler Storch.

The H.IV was allocated the RLM ID number 8-251 and by inference Horten Ho 251 though this was little used in practice.
