D-Motor. D-Motor is a Belgian aircraft engine manufacturer based in Deerlijk. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of aircraft engines for homebuilt and ultralight aircraft.

The company was formed in about 2009 to develop an engine to replace the Rotax 582 and Jabiru 2200 in the Belgian Masquito M80 helicopter project. The resulting engine was first shown in 2010 in Brussels, Belgium and at the 2010 AERO Friedrichshafen show in Germany. The company raised funds from their Chinese distributor, who became an investor in the company.

The company developed the four-cylinder  D-Motor LF26 in 2010 and then the derivative six-cylinder  D-Motor LF39. Both of these Belgian horizontally-opposed engines are liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, and ultra-compact, having side-valves and extremely oversquare cylinder dimensions.

The engines have found applications in gyroplanes like the Niki Lightning as well as fixed wing aircraft, such as the BOT SC07 Speed Cruiser and the Peak Aerospace Me 109R.

HMS Squirrel (J301). HMS Squirrel was a turbine-powered  built for the Royal Navy during the Second World War. She was scuttled after striking a mine in 1945.

Design and description
The turbine-powered ships displaced  at standard load and  at deep load. The ship measured  long overall with a beam of . The turbine group had a draught of . The ships' complement consisted of 85 officers and ratings.

The ships had two Parsons geared steam turbines, each driving one shaft, using steam provided by two Admiralty three-drum boilers. The engines produced a total of  and gave a maximum speed of . The ships carried a maximum of  of fuel oil that gave them a range of  at .

The Algerine class was armed with a QF  Mk V anti-aircraft gun and four twin-gun mounts for Oerlikon 20 mm cannon. The latter guns were in short supply when the first ships were being completed and they often got a proportion of single mounts. By 1944, single-barrel Bofors 40 mm mounts began replacing the twin 20 mm mounts on a one for one basis. All of the ships were fitted for four throwers and two rails for depth charges.

Construction and career
She was launched in 1944. Squirrel took part in minesweeping operations off the west coast of the Malay Peninsula on 24 July 1945. The operations were supported by the British East Indies Fleet, which defeated a Japanese kamikaze attack on  at the time. Squirrel hit a mine off Phuket Island during the attack, and caught fire. After a half hour the flames were beyond control and she was abandoned. Survivors were rescued by . She was scuttled by gunfire two hours later. Seven men were lost in the attack.

Kanto Auto Works. was a Japanese car manufacturer. It was a member of the Toyota Group. In July 2012, Kanto Auto Works and two other Toyota subsidiaries were merged to form Toyota Motor East Japan.

History
In April 1946, Kanto Auto Works was established  in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, as an independent company called Kanto Electric Motor Works which focused on repairing cars, assembling electric vehicles and producing bus bodies. In early 1948, it became a Toyota contractor, producing auto bodies. During its early years, the company also assembled some cars for Toyota (Toyota SB, Toyota Master, Toyota Crown). The company also diversified into other products such as yachts and prefabricated homes. In 1950, it adopted the Kanto Auto Works name. In 1960, the company became a permanent car assembler through a new Yokosuka plant. Later, the company replaced Yokosuka for car assembly with the Higashi-Fuji (established in 1968) and Iwate (established in 1993) plants.

Kanto Auto Works was a public company until the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, Toyota announced it would make it a wholly owned subsidiary.  On July 1, 2012, Kanto Auto Works and two other Toyota subsidiaries (Central Motors and Toyota Motors Tohoku) were combined into a single company called Toyota Motor East Japan, Inc.

Potassium hexafluoronickelate(IV). Potassium hexafluoronickelate(IV) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula .  It can be produced through the reaction of potassium fluoride, nickel dichloride, and fluorine.

It reacts violently with water, releasing oxygen.  It dissolves in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride to produce a light-red solution.  Potassium hexafluoronickelate(IV) decomposes at 350 °C, forming potassium hexafluoronickelate(III), nickel(II) fluoride, and fluorine:

Potassium hexafluoronickelate is a strong oxidant. It can turn chlorine pentafluoride and bromine pentafluoride into  and , respectively:

( X = Cl or Br , -60 °C , aHF = anhydrous hydrogen fluoride).

Potassium hexafluoronickelate decomposes at high temperatures to release fluorine gas; like terbium(IV) fluoride, the emitted fluorine is primarily monatomic rather than the typical diatomic.

It adopts the structure seen for K2PtCl6 and Mg2FeH6.

Mixlink. Mixlink (Mixlink II) is a computer used with Agfa scales. It was developed to facilitate calculation of color mixes.

Technical characteristics
Mixlink contains the Intel 80386 processor with the clock rate which may be set to either 9.2 or 33 MHz. The RAM size is 640 kB. The HDD function is served by the built-in flash memory that has the size of approximately 800 kB. Mixlink has the monochrome display.

Mixlink is also staffed with CD drive and floppy drive.

Use

Mixlink was intended to be used with the supplied floppy and CD disk, which provided the system environment ("operating system") and the application to be used for calculating color mixes. However, it is possible to install and run MS-DOS on Mixlink.

Currently, Mixlink computers are not used; their functions may solely be performed by personal computers (PCs).

Hawkridge Venture. The Hawkridge Venture was a wooden sailplane built shortly after World War II in the UK.  It carried two people, in side-by-side configuration. Two Ventures were built, one flying in the UK and the other in Australia.

Design and development

Hawkridge Aircraft Ltd was founded in 1945 by Eric Paul Zander (formerly of Dart Aircraft) and Harry E Bolton, initially with an office in London and a small workshop at Bolton's home in Denham.  They later moved to a small factory in Dunstable, close to the home of the London Gliding Club, with the aim of servicing and building gliders.  The Venture was the only aircraft they both designed and built.  It was a conventional wooden glider, seating two side by side.

Its wing was built around two spars and had a constant-chord centre section with straight taper outboard. Spoilers were fitted on the upper surfaces; there were no flaps.  The wing was mounted on the raised upper fuselage just behind the cockpit, braced by one lift strut on each side from the lower fuselage. The cantilever, straight-tapered tailplane was also mounted on top of the fuselage, far enough forward that the rudder hinge was aligned with the trailing edges of the elevators.  The fin was narrow, with  a vertical leading edge; the rudder was almost rectangular and extended down to the lower fuselage.

The fuselage of the Venture was flat-sided, with decking behind the wings and a shallow ventral extension from the wings forward.  The latter carried a landing skid with a fixed monowheel behind it, under the wing. A tail bumper completed the undercarriage.  The open cockpit seated two side by side under the wing leading edge.

The first flight of the Venture is thought to have been made in 1947.

Operational history

The only Venture built by Hawkridge was registered as G-ALMF and then as BGA 688. It ended its career with the Lakes Gliding Club at Tebay where it crashed on 22 July 1962. Another Venture was built in Australia by the Dubbo Gliding Club in 1953 from plans supplied by Hawkridge.  This aircraft, registered VH-GDU, was with the Orange Gliding Club of New South Wales in about 1970. In 2010 it was held by the Narromine Aviation Museum, not far from Dubbo.

List of tallest voluntarily demolished buildings. Voluntary building demolition is the decision by either the landowner or a higher government body to demolish a structure for any number of reasons, ranging from severe structural damage to the redevelopment of the land the building sits upon. Involuntary (or unplanned) building demolitions, such as the collapse of a building during a severe earthquake or by a terrorist attack, are not included in this list.

The demolition of especially high buildings presents unique challenges, especially when their location is within densely populated areas of their respective cities. Buildings particularly tall are most often deconstructed floor-by-floor down to the building's basement, as opposed to controlled implosion of the structure, which would most likely damage surrounding structures.

The following list includes the tallest demolished buildings, with an height of at least 100 meters (328 ft)

Bisalpur Dam. Bisalpur Dam is a gravity dam on the Banas River near Bisalpur in Tonk district, Rajasthan, India. The dam was completed in 1999 for the purpose of irrigation and water supply.

History 
The Bisalpur Dam was set in name of Bisaldev-IV of Chauhan Dynasty Ajmer.

The Bisalpur dam was constructed in the 1990s by the Rajasthan state government. During the construction, the people displaced by the dam protested against the state government's rehabilitation and resettlement policy, calling it unjust.

In October 1999, the Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government sanctioned a project to bring the Bisalpur reservoir water to the state capital Jaipur. However, the project could not be implemented because of financial constraints. In 2004, the Vasundhara Raje-led BJP government started the construction of a pipeline to bring Bisalpur water to Jaipur. The project was co-financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). ADB financed the transmission system (including purification), while JICA financed the transfer system with an 8.88 billion yen 30-year loan at an interest rate of 1.3%. The project was opposed by farmers relying on the Bisalpur water for irrigation. On 13 June 2005, 5 farmers were shot dead while protesting the diversion of Bisalpur water to Jaipur.  The Bisalpur water reached Jaipur in 2009, leading to public protests in surrounding districts like Ajmer, Bhilwara, Dausa and Tonk, whose residents demanded a share of the water.

Water supply 

The Bisalpur dam reservoir supplies irrigation water to the Sawai Madhopur and Tonk districts. It also supplies drinking water to the Ajmer, Jaipur and Tonk districts. From Nasirabad in Ajmer district, the drinking water is also transported to the Bhilwara district via a 15-wagon train, which can carry 2.5 million litres of water.

The reservoir has been called the lifeline of the state capital Jaipur. Currently, around half of the areas under the Jaipur Municipal Corporation get water from Bisalpur. In 2016, the Public Health and Engineering Department (PHED) proposed a  9.5 billion project to supply the Bisalpur water to the remaining areas of the city.

In 2016, the almost-dry Pushkar Lake was filled with water from the Bisalpur reservoir for the annual Pushkar Fair.

John W. Baumgartner. John Walter Baumgartner (May 17, 1890 – November 9, 1973) was an American civil engineer who was a member of the Los Angeles, California, City Council from 1933 to 1945.

Biography
Baumgartner was born on May 17, 1890, on a ranch in Los Angeles located at what later became the intersection of Beverly and Rampart boulevards. He was educated in Los Angeles public schools and graduated from St. Vincent's College, now Loyola University. He was a civil engineer for fifteen years. Married since 1914, he was the father of one daughter, Helen (Mrs. Kenneth Kritser). He lived at 1010 South Burlington Avenue.

He was an elector pledged to the Democratic slate in 1936. He was a Roman Catholic.

City service

Baumgartner was appointed to the Water and Power Commission in 1932, and he was soon chosen president of the body. He was elected to the 12th Councilmanic District in 1933 and reelected every two years thereafter until he retired in 1945. He was the End Poverty in California candidate in 1935.

In 1934 he opposed the policy of allowing the Automobile Club of Southern California to post directional signs for motorists on city streets because "the club is in the insurance business." City purchasing agent Holm said that the club furnished the signs for free and maintained 21,000 of them at no expense to the city. He and Councilman Byron B. Brainard obtained the original allocation of $175,000 from the state in the 1930s to begin the project that opened 10th Street and turned it into Olympic Boulevard without having to assess local property owners for the improvements. He was appointed to a committee of five council members in May 1940 to call on Mayor Fletcher Bowron to complain about "persistent and erroneous" remarks the mayor made about the council in his radio addresses.

In summer 1940 he began a campaign against pinball and other recreational machines, and in October of that year submitted a motion to "prohibit possession, operation or playing of so-called marble games known as bali ball and miniature bowling." He also asked "consideration of a ban on the playing of those games by the use of any spherical object other than a marble." In 1943 he and three other council members unsuccessfully opposed granting a permit to Seaboard Oil Company for  slant oil drilling under Elysian Park from a site near Riverside Drive. He and Councilman Ira J. McDonald opposed issuance of $12.5 million in bonds in 1945 to improve Los Angeles Airport on the grounds that "airlines, like railroads, should pay for their terminals instead of having a terminal financed by the taxpayers."
