Mecarobot Golf. Mecarobot Golf is an arcade-style golf video game released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The game was originally released in Japan as .

The general theme of Mecarobot Golf is a near-futuristic golf course where humanoid robots are considered to be second-class citizens. A robot named Eagle is banned from participating in the world's professional golfing tournaments due to discrimination. Eagle has the ability to play golf better than a human being, but is denied the chance to play with human individuals. A benefactor purchases Eagle and builds a golf course for him to practice on. The player's skill determine whether humans or robots are truly better at golf. Various modes (lesson, driving range, competition) help the player practice his abilities that he will need in future matches.

Japanese professional golfer Nobuo Serizawa endorsed the Japanese version of the game. However, the Western version of the game replaced his likeness with Eagle the robot. There are two possible background sounds that can be played while golfing; a simple tune for relaxation or a complex melody for "excitement."

Gameplay
Upon starting a game, the player must either "sign up" (create a new profile) or use an existing profile of the Hyper Golf Club (referred to in the Japanese version as the "Lake Side Golf Club"). It is possible to save a game while in the middle of a golfing session. Through practice and the driving range, duffers can improve their maximum yardage, their handicap, and eventually get promoted from duffer status. "Semi-pro" and "pro" levels are considered to be the two highest levels a video game golfer can receive in this video game.

Emergency lessons offer advice when a player is about to perform a mistake in the practice (learning) mode of the game. After the 13th hole, the players must use a small boat to get to the 14th hole regardless of what mode the player is using. Like most Super NES golfing games, the clubs are selected automatically for the player, and the player must aim the ball and strike it with accuracy and balance. Players get to choose between four sets of golf clubs. As the player plays in various months of the year, the golf course changes according to the season.

The Japanese version features an all-male group of Japanese golfers, while the Western version has caucasian "family members."

Expansion ratio. The expansion ratio of a liquefied and cryogenic substance is the volume of a given amount of that substance in liquid form compared to the volume of the same amount of substance in gaseous form, at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure.

If a sufficient amount of liquid is vaporized within a closed container, it produces pressures that can rupture the pressure vessel. Hence the use of pressure relief valves and vent valves are important.

The expansion ratio of liquefied and cryogenic from the boiling point to ambient is:
nitrogen – 1 to 696
liquid helium – 1 to 745
argon – 1 to 842
liquid hydrogen – 1 to 850
liquid oxygen – 1 to 860
neon – Neon has the highest expansion ratio with 1 to 1445.

Line technician (aviation). A line technician (commonly known as a line tech, line guy, gas jockey or ramp rat) is someone who works on an airport ramp at a fixed-base operator (FBO), a business that typically handles general aviation aircraft as opposed to commercial traffic. Their technical responsibilities include coordinating ramp operations and aircraft movement via radio, marshalling, fueling, towing aircraft, operating ground support equipment, servicing aircraft, potable water and lavatory systems, checking and maintaining proper aircraft engine oil and tire pressure levels, sampling aviation fuel for quality control, conducting deicing operations, and performing runway inspections. Customer service-related responsibilities include greeting and assisting passengers, loading baggage, providing coffee, ice, newspapers, and catering to the aircraft, driving rental cars to and from the aircraft, and providing ground transportation around the airfield. The most notable corporation that handles these services is Swissport and the runner-up is Service Air.

Tiglic acid. Tiglic acid is a monocarboxylic unsaturated organic acid. It is found in croton oil and in several other natural products. It has also been also isolated from the defensive secretion of certain beetles.

Properties and uses
Tiglic acid has a double bond between the second and third carbons of the chain. Tiglic acid and angelic acid form a pair of cis-trans isomers. Tiglic acid is a volatile and crystallizable substance with a sweet, warm, spicy odour. It is used in making perfumes and flavoring agents. The salts and esters of tiglic acid are called tiglates.

Toxicity
Tiglic acid is a skin and eye irritant. The inhalation of the substance causes respiratory tract irritation. It is listed on the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).

Names and discovery
In 1819 Pelletier and Caventou isolated a peculiar volatile and crystallizable acid from the seeds of Schoenocaulon officinalis, a Mexican plant of family Melanthaceae (also called cevadilla or sabadilla). Consequently, the substance was named sabadillic or cevadic acid. In 1865 it was found to be identical with B. F. Duppa and Edward Frankland's methyl-crotonic acid. In 1870 Geuther and Fröhlich prepared an acid from croton oil to which they gave the name tiglic acid (or tiglinic acid) after Croton tiglium (Linn.), specific name of the croton oil plant. The compound was shown to be identical with the previously described methyl-crotonic acid.

HMS Opossum (S19). HMS Opossum (S19) was an  in service with the Royal Navy from 1964 to 1993.

Design and construction

The Oberon class was a direct follow-on of the Porpoise-class, with the same dimensions and external design, but updates to equipment and internal fittings, and a higher grade of steel used for fabrication of the pressure hull.

As designed for British service, the Oberon-class submarines were  in length between perpendiculars and  in length overall, with a beam of , and a draught of . Displacement was 1,610 tons standard, 2,030 tons full load when surfaced, and 2,410 tons full load when submerged. Propulsion machinery consisted of 2 Admiralty Standard Range 16 VMS diesel generators, and two  electric motors, each driving a  3-bladed propeller at up to 400 rpm. Top speed was  when submerged, and  on the surface. Eight  diameter torpedo tubes were fitted (six facing forward, two aft), with a total payload of 24 torpedoes. The boats were fitted with Type 186 and Type 187 sonars, and an I-band surface search radar. The standard complement was 68: 6 officers, 62 sailors.

Opossum was laid down by Cammell Laird on 21 December 1961, and launched on 23 May 1963. The boat was commissioned into the Royal Navy on 5 June 1964.

Operational history
In 1990, Opossum took part in the bicentennial celebrations at Pitcairn Island, marking the occasion with a two-day visit in September.

Opossum was deployed to the Persian Gulf during the 1991 Gulf War under Operation Granby. On her return to Gosport, she was flying a Jolly Roger; the only indication that the submarine had been involved in deploying and recovering Special Air Service and Special Boat Service personnel.

On 14 July 1993, Opossum (which was travelling on the surface at the time) collided with the fishing vessel Amber Rose off the coast of Scotland.

Decommissioning and fate
On paying off in 1993, the nameplate from Opossum was given to St Edmundsbury council in commemoration of the submarine's association with the town of Bury St. Edmunds.

Heraldry
Admiral of the Fleet Lord Boyce, who commanded Opossum as a lieutenant commander from 1974 to 1976, symbolically commemorated the submarine in his personal coat of arms. For his crest he chose "a Mouse Opossum Argent, the eye ring and claws Azure", while his heraldic motto is "Ipsis Fretis Impedimentis Possum". (illustration)

Innespace Seabreacher. Innespace Seabreacher (or Sea Breacher) is a two-seat semi-submersible personal watercraft "submarine", with a shape based on that of a dolphin, and the ability to imitate a dolphin's movement.

History
The watercraft was designed and developed by two engineers—New Zealander Rob Innes and his partner American Dan Piazza—who are also the founders of the American company Innespace Inc., which markets, builds and sells the semisub watercraft to customers. It is the production model of the single-seat Innespace Dolphin. The concept came from VASH (variable attitude submersible hydrofoil), which was invented by Thomas "Doc" Rowe and Dennis "Dusty" Kaiser in 1987 with his boat, Noland Won.

Specifications
The two seat vessel is powered by an Atkins Rotary Marine engine coupled to a Hurth V-drive transmission.   

Seabreachers are available in a wide array of colour specifications and insignias.

George W. Morell. George Webb Morell (January 8, 1815 – February 11, 1883) was a civil engineer, lawyer, farmer, and a Union general in the American Civil War.

Early life
Morell was born in Cooperstown, New York. His father was George Morell, the chief justice of the Michigan Supreme Court. He graduated from the United States Military Academy, first in his class of 56 cadets, in 1835 and was commissioned a brevet second lieutenant in the Corps of Engineers. He resigned from the Army on June 30, 1837, and became a civil engineer for the Charleston and Cincinnati Railroad and later for the Michigan Central Railroad. He moved to New York City in 1839 and worked as a lawyer. He was a commissioner for the circuit court of the Southern District of New York from 1854 to 1861.

Civil War
Since 1852, Morell had served as a colonel in the New York Militia. He was promoted to brigadier general of volunteers on August 9, 1861, and served in brigade and division command in the Army of the Potomac during the Peninsula Campaign. Morell led the 1st Division, V Corps, during most of this period. His close association with Brig. Gen. Fitz John Porter, his corps commander, negatively affected his career prospects, as Porter was court-martialed for dereliction in the Second Battle of Bull Run. Morell testified on Porter's behalf at the court-martial, effectively ruining his military career. After the Battle of Antietam, he saw no additional field service. Morell was appointed a major general on July 4, 1862, but the appointment expired the following year without confirmation by the United States Senate. He commanded the Draft Depot in Indianapolis, Indiana, for most of 1864 and was mustered out from volunteer service on December 15, 1864.

Postbellum
Morell worked as a farmer after his military service. He died in Scarborough, New York, and is buried there in the chancel of St. Mary's Episcopal Church.

Mao-4 moored mine. Moored-4 (锚-4, Mao-4, M-4) is a naval mine developed by Fengxi Machinery Factory (汾西机器厂) and was accepted into active service in 1974. It was the first moored mine in the Chinese service to incorporates an acoustic fuze. The mine can be planted by both the surface ships and submarines from depth of 20–200 meters and weighs 600 kg. The Mao-4 has an effective radius of 20 meters and effective life of 2 years. The original mine was upgraded to Moored-4-I (锚-4甲, Mao-4-Jia) standard in November 1982 and subsequently upgraded into Moored-4-II (锚-4乙, Mao-4-Yi) standard by December 1985. In comparison to earlier versions, the latest version adopted large scale integrated circuits.

Te-1 rocket propelled mine. The specialized-1 (特-1, or Te-1) rocket propelled mine, also known as the EM-52, was developed by the 710th Research Institute in 1981, and completed by 1987 after more than 100 major design changes. Specialized-1 mines are planted by surface ships in up to  of water. The maximum speed of the mine is greater than 50 m/s (112 mph).  In the early 1990s, the Specialized-1 was upgraded with a larger warhead, and the maximum depth of plant was more than doubled.

At least two more mines were developed from the Te-1 in the late 1990s; their designations are unknown. Both were self-steering, a feature the Specialized-1 lacks.  The first of the two new mines is similar, with speed of in excess of 80 m/s.  A single mine of this type can control an area with a radius of .

The second design is a simplified version, intended to reduce cost by eliminating the rocket motor, depending on its natural buoyancy to propel the mine upward.  There is yet a third mine derived from the second one with further simplification to reduce cost by further eliminating the control fins, thus lacking the directional capability, and this mine had to be released much earlier from its anchorage like the one with directional capability but without the rocket motor.  The area control of both type, of course, is much less than the one with rocket motor, but still larger than the Specialized-1, which could only travel in straight line.

Xun-1. The Training-1 (Chinese: 训-1, Transliterated: Xun-1) training bottom mine is a training naval mine developed by Fengxi Machinery Factory () in China, and was accepted into service in November 1982. The Training-1 mine could be used to train for every bottom mine in the Chinese inventory, as well as for minesweeping training. When the training is completed, a high pressure gas valve is released, and the training bottom mine would float to the surface for recovery.

Devil's venom. Devil's venom was a nickname coined by Soviet rocket scientists for a hypergolic liquid rocket fuel composed of a dangerous combination of red fuming nitric acid (RFNA) and unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH). Both propellants are extremely dangerous individually: nitric acid is highly corrosive and releases toxic nitrogen dioxide during reactions, or even simply while exposed to air in its highly concentrated "red fuming" form, typically used as rocket propellant. UDMH is both toxic and corrosive. 

Despite these dangers, the pairing has been useful in rocketry because, as a combination of fuel and oxidizer, it is hypergolic (i.e. it does not require an external ignition source), which allows rockets using this type of fuel to be simpler. Further, both components have high boiling points compared to other rocket fuels (such as liquid hydrogen) and oxidizers (such as liquid oxygen), allowing rockets to be stored ready for launch for long periods without the fuel or oxidizer boiling off and needing to be replenished.

Gumboy: Crazy Adventures. Gumboy: Crazy Adventures is a physics-based platform game released over Steam in 2006. It was developed by Czech developer CINEMAX, Ltd.

Gameplay 
In Gumboy, the player controls the rotation of a physically simulated ball. You move around large, abstract levels by spinning, completing various goals and collecting powerups. Powerups can modify the shape of the Gumboy (for instance, turning him into a star), change the material of Gumboy (into gum, air, or water), or give the Gumboy special powers, such as the ability to stick to level features. In most levels, the Gumboy must acquire the magnetism powerup, which allows him to repel objects, and then guide objects to an NPC creature.

Reception
The game was generally well received by critics. Hyper'''s Tim Henderson commends the game for being "original, charming and incredibly atmospheric". However, he criticised it for "some moments of frustration".

Legacy
In May 2008, a sequel was released titled Gumboy Tournament''. The main addition to this game was multiplayer, both locally and online for up to nine players.
