B. N. Wilson. Birton Neill Wilson (November 16, 1874 – January 27, 1948) was an American professor, engineer, and college football coach. He served as a professor of mechanical engineering and the head football coach at Arkansas Industrial University (now known as the University of Arkansas).

Biography
Wilson was born in Philadelphia in 1874. Residing in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Wilson attended the Georgia School of Technology where he earned a bachelor of science in mechanical engineering in 1896. Wilson was elected president of his senior class and "always maintained a high standing in college." He was a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Alpha Tau chapter of Kappa Sigma. After graduation, Wilson began teaching at the University of Arkansas as an instructor in mechanical engineering until 1899.

From 1897 to 1898, Wilson coached the Arkansas football team and over the course of two seasons amassed a record of 4–1–1. Later in his life, Wilson enjoyed recalling a quote from a partisan newspaper after his team played Fort Smith: "Thugs, pug-uglies, and roughnecks. Such are B. N. Wilson and the University of Arkansas football team."

From 1899 until 1902, he was an adjunct professor of mechanical engineering and assistant superintendent of mechanical arts. In 1902, the University of Arkansas promoted him to the post of professor of mechanical engineering. In 1903, he studied at the University of Michigan, and eventually received a master of engineering degree from Michigan in 1909. By 1908, he was the superintendent of mechanical arts. He received an M.M.E. degree from Cornell University. He taught at the University of Arkansas until 1923.

Wilson died suddenly at his Fayetteville home on January 27, 1948.

James Young (coachbuilder). James Young Limited was a top class British coachbuilding business in London Road, Bromley, England. 

James Young bought J. K. Hunter's business in 1863. It built a full range of high quality carriages including landaus but was most famous in James Young's time for its lightweight Bromley Brougham.

Their first car body was made in 1908 on a Wolseley chassis for the local Member of Parliament. During the First World War they made ambulances, lorries and armoured cars on Darracq and Hudson chassis.  In the 1920s and early 1930s standardised bodies were built for Sunbeam and  Talbot along with individual commissions often on Bentley and Rolls-Royce chassis.

James Young Limited joined the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders in 1922 and first set up their own stand at the SMMT's 1925 London Motor Show at Olympia. They displayed two bodies: a Chrysler all-weather and a Lanchester saloon. 

In 1937 James Young was bought by London Rolls-Royce dealer Jack Barclay and he persuaded Scotsman A. F. McNeil (1891–1965), 'Mac', to leave J Gurney Nutting & Co to become James Young's chief designer. These two events combined with the end of the depression to produce a sharp rise in James Young's sales.

During the Second World War James Young built aircraft components, mobile canteens and canvas covers. The factory was destroyed and all records were lost in 1941, the second year of the Blitz. Rebuilt, it was hit again, this time by a V-1 flying bomb but production continued.

Coachbuilding resumed after the war and a stand was taken at the 1948 Motor Show. 
By the early 1960s 50 or 60 new bodies were being built each year mostly for export. By that time the only Bentley bodies were for Continentals, the last S3 Continental went to its owner in early 1966. Mac McNeil died in 1965.

Some thirty-five Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow (and 15 Bentley T) fixed head coupés were created in 1966 and 1967 by removing rear doors from standard unitary construction production cars and extending the front doors. Lacking McNeil's touch the Rolls-Royce subsidiary Mulliner Park Ward with more technical information cornered the market .

James Young's last bodies were made on Rolls-Royce Phantom V chassis in 1968.

Oliver Robert Hawke Bury. Oliver Robert Hawke Bury (3 November 1861 – 21 March 1946) was an English railway engineer, chief mechanical engineer on the Great Western Railway of Brazil, General Manager of the Great Northern Railway in England and Director of the London and North Eastern Railway.

Bury, the son of a barrister, was born in London and educated at Westminster School. The first manager of the Great Northern Railway in 1847 had been his great-uncle. In 1879 he was apprenticed to William Adams, locomotive engineer on the London and South Western Railway. 

At Hunter and English of Bow, steam engine manufacturers from 1791 to 1921, he worked on the construction of both a floating crane and of a distillery in 1881. From there he joined the Coleford Railway in 1884 and became resident engineer of the Great Western Railway of Brazil under Ailsa Janson, becoming locomotive superintendent in 1885.

His appointment as Chief Engineer and Manager of the Great Western Railway of Brazil followed in 1892. Thereafter he joined the Entre Rios Railway in Argentina and went on to the Buenos Aires and Rosario Railway. He returned to England in 1902 to become General Manager of the Great Northern Railway, joining the GNR Board in 1912.  He was a Director of the London and North Eastern Railway until 1945. His business interests extended to South America. 

He was married to Annie Eliza. His daughter, Sybil Maude Haigh Bury, married Harold Manston Ommanney, of Hatfield, Hertfordshire (1885-1964) in 1913 and divorced him in 1927. Mary Edith Haigh Bury was born in Belgrano on 3 February 1895.

Bury died, aged 84, in London.

HMS Royal James (1671). HMS Royal James was a 102-gun first rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built by Anthony Deane at Portsmouth Dockyard at a cost of £24,000, and launched on 31 March 1671.

She was the first Royal Navy vessel to be assembled using iron as a part of her frame, rather than merely in bolts and nails. Her shipwright, Sir Anthony Deane modified the vessel's plans to include U-shaped iron bars to secure the planking of the hull, despite stern disapproval from Admiralty's representative, the Clerk of the Acts Samuel Pepys. Deane defended his actions by claiming there was a shortage of usable wood. His defence was personally reviewed by the King, Charles II, who upheld the use of iron. However, the innovation was not repeated in other Royal Navy vessels until adoption of the 1719 Establishment nearly fifty years later.

Royal James was also one of only three Royal Navy ships to be equipped with the Rupertinoe naval gun.
She fought at the Battle of Solebay on 7 June 1672 (28 May 1672 O.S.) as Admiral Edward Montagu's flagship. She was attacked by first Dolfijn, and then Groot Hollandia, before finally coming under attack by Dutch fireships. Royal James was destroyed by the fire and sank. Montagu died, although the ship's Captain, Richard Haddock, survived and went on to hold a distinguished career in the Navy. She had seen barely four months service.

Alabandite. Alabandite or alabandine, formerly known as manganese blende or bluemenbachite is a rarely occurring manganese sulfide mineral. It crystallizes in the cubic crystal system with the chemical composition Mn2+S and develops commonly massive to granular aggregates, but rarely also cubic or octahedral crystals to 1 cm.

Etymology and history 
Alabandite was first described in 1784 by Franz-Joseph Müller von Reichenstein. The mineral name is derived from its supposed discovery locality at Alabanda (Aïdin) in Turkey.

Occurrence 
Alabandite forms in epithermal polymetallic sulfide veins and low-temperature manganese deposits. It occurs with acanthite, calcite, chalcopyrite, galena, pyrite, quartz, rhodochrosite, rhodonite, sphalerite and native tellurium. Sometimes it was found in meteorites.

Localities are several areas in Antarctica, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Greenland, India, Italy, Japan, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Tanzania, the United Kingdom, the US, Uzbekistan and Yemen. All together at present time approximately 220 discovery sites are registered.

Crystal structure 
Alabandite crystallizes in the cubic crystal system in the space group Fm3m with the lattice parameter a = 5.22 Å and four formula units per unit cell.

Vincent R. Gray. Vincent Richard Gray (24 March 1922 – 14 June 2018) was a New Zealand chemist, and a founder of the climate change denial organization New Zealand Climate Science Coalition.

Career
Born in London on 24 March 1922, Gray was awarded a PhD in physical chemistry by the University of Cambridge after studies on incendiary bomb fluids made from aluminium soaps. He moved to New Zealand in 1970 to become the first Director of the Building Research Association (BRANZ) and later, Chief Chemist of the Coal Research Association.
He also published many articles and reports, seven in peer-reviewed journals.

Views on climate change
After retirement, he had four and a half years in China and when he returned became a critic of the claim that climate was harmed by human emissions of greenhouse gases.

He commented on every publication of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, with 1,898 comments on the 2007 Report. He published critical studies on all of the reports, including a 2002 book The Greenhouse Delusion: A Critique of 'Climate Change 2001'''. He published his autobiography Confessions of a Climate Sceptic in 2010 
He was dismissive of anthropogenic global warming.

Gray called for the IPCC to be abolished, claiming it was “fundamentally corrupt” and that significant parts of the work of the IPCC, the data collection and scientific methods employed, were unsound.

Gray was featured on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation program Counterpoint in a debate entitled "Nine Lies about Global Warming", and was interviewed in a featured story in The New Zealand Herald as a "prominent" global warming nay-sayer.

In his book The Greenhouse Delusion: A Critique of "Climate Change 2001",  Gray argued "that the quality and reliability of the IPCC's measurements are poor, the system of determining how much weight should be attributed to different influences on the earth's temperature is faulty, and the validity of evidence derived from computer modeling is questionable."

Gray died in Petone on 14 June 2018, aged 96.

Caproni Ca.132. 

The Caproni Ca.132 was a prototype for a large aircraft built in Italy in 1934, intended for use as either a bomber or airliner. It was a conventional low-wing cantilever monoplane, powered by a radial engine on each wing and in the nose. The main undercarriage was housed within large streamlined spats. Configured as an airliner, it would have seated 20 passengers.

Power Trip (film). Power Trip is a documentary film by director Paul Devlin that describes the electricity crisis in the country of Georgia several years after the fall of the Soviet Union. In 1999, Georgia's government sold the electric utility company Telasi to AES Corporation, a multinational company headquartered in Virginia. The film follows several AES-Telasi employees  as the company tries to turn a profit and ensure that power is consistently available to customers in the face of widespread corruption and failure to pay electricity bills by both commercial and residential customers. According to AES-Telasi staff, 90% of customers were not paying for electricity when the company took over, partly because salaries were extremely low and partly because during the Soviet era, the state had provided free electricity. The film shows many shocking pictures of illegal wiring that people rigged up to steal electricity from buildings with power, creating serious safety hazards and straining the power grid. Government corruption ensured that some companies received electricity even if they did not pay for it for years. The film looks at the chaos and riots that occurred in Tbilisi after AES-Telasi started cutting off electricity to customers with unpaid bills. The film exposes corruption in the highest levels of government as well as the plight of the Georgian people as they struggle for power. The film ends by noting that AES Corporation, having spent many tens of millions of dollars yet with profitability nowhere in sight, sold Telasi to a Russian company.

Screening and reception
Power Trip has screened in 60 countries, theatrically across the United States and on PBS's Independent Lens.  The film was nominated for an  Independent Spirit Award in 2003, and has won 10 film festival awards, including top prizes at the Berlin International Film Festival, Hot Docs in Toronto, Canada, and the Florida Film Festival.

Stephen Holden of The New York Times described the film as a "superbly balanced and organized documentary" and "a skillful assemblage of newsreel clips, cartoons ridiculing the American interlopers, television commercials and interviews with power officials and ordinary Georgians."

Barium bromide. Barium bromide is the chemical compound with the formula BaBr2. It is ionic and hygroscopic in nature.

Structure and properties
BaBr2 crystallizes in the lead chloride (cotunnite) motif, giving white orthorhombic crystals that are deliquescent.

In aqueous solution BaBr2 behaves as a simple salt.

Solutions of barium bromide reacts with the sulfate salts to produce a solid precipitate of barium sulfate.
BaBr2  +    →  BaSO4  +  2 Br−
Similar reactions occur with oxalic acid, hydrofluoric acid, and phosphoric acid, giving solid precipitates of barium oxalate, fluoride, and phosphate, respectively.

Preparation
Barium bromide can be prepared by treating barium sulfide or barium carbonate with hydrobromic acid:
BaS  +  2 HBr  →  BaBr2  +  H2S
BaCO3  +  2 HBr  →  BaBr2  +  CO2 + H2O
Barium bromide crystallizes from concentrated aqueous solution in its dihydrate, BaBr2·2H2O.  Heating this dihydrate to 120 °C gives the anhydrous salt.

Uses
Barium bromide is a precursor to chemicals used in photography and to other bromides. Historically, barium bromide was used to purify radium in a process of fractional crystallization devised by Marie Curie.  Since radium precipitates preferentially in a solution of barium bromide, the ratio of radium to barium in the precipitate would be higher than the ratio in the solution.

Safety
Barium bromide, along with other water-soluble barium salts (e.g. barium chloride), is toxic. However, there is no conclusive data available on its hazards.

In popular culture
The compound appears in the intro title card of Breaking Bad, where the first pairs of letters are replaced with Br35 and Ba56, the symbols and atomic numbers of bromine and barium respectively.

EPLaR. Electronics on Plastic by Laser Release (EPLaR) is a method for manufacturing flexible electrophoretic displays using conventional AM-LCD manufacturing equipment, avoiding the need to build new factories. The technology can also be used to manufacture flexible OLED displays using standard OLED fabrication facilities.

The technology was developed by Philips Research and uses standard display glass as used in TFT-LCD processing plants. It is coated with a layer of polyimide using a standard spin-coating procedure used in the production of AM-LCD displays. This polyimide coating can now have a regular TFT matrix formed on top of it in a standard TFT processing plant to form the plastic display, which can then be removed using a laser to finish the display and the glass reused, thus lowering the total cost of manufacture.

The EPLaR process is licensed by Philips for use by Taiwan's Prime View International in its TFT manufacturing plants for manufacture of flexible plastic displays.

Wilhelm Nusselt. Ernst Kraft Wilhelm Nußelt (Nusselt in English; November 25, 1882, in Nuremberg – September 1, 1957, in Munich) was a German engineer. Nusselt studied mechanical engineering at Technische Universität München, where he got his doctorate in 1907. He taught in Dresden from 1913 to 1917.

During this teaching tenure he developed the dimensional analysis of heat transfer, without any knowledge of the Buckingham π theorem or any other developments of Lord Rayleigh.

In so doing he opened the door for further heat transfer analysis. After teaching and working in Switzerland and Germany between 1917 and 1925, he was appointed to the chair of theoretical mechanics in Munich. There he made important developments in the field of heat exchangers. He held that position until 1952, being succeeded in the job by another important figure in the field of heat transfer, Ernst Schmidt.

The Nusselt number used in Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer is named in his honour.
