Avro Avocet. The Avro Type 584 Avocet  was a British single-engined naval fighter prototype, designed and built by Avro. While the Avocet was not built in numbers, one of the prototypes was used as a seaplane trainer for the Royal Air Force's (RAF) High Speed Flight.

Design and development
The Avro 584 Avocet was designed by Avro's chief designer, Roy Chadwick to meet the requirements of Specification 17/25 for a Naval fighter. It was a single-engined, all-metal biplane, powered by a 230 hp Armstrong Siddeley Lynx engine, having interchangeable wheels and floats. Although it did not have folding wings, it was designed to be easily dismantled for storage on board ship.

Two prototypes were built, the first flying as a landplane in December 1927 and the second prototype flying as a seaplane in April 1928. Both prototypes were evaluated for the Fleet Air Arm at RAF Martlesham Heath, where, owing to the low-powered engine, their performance was seen to be unimpressive, and it was not ordered into production.

Operational history
Although no production occurred, the second prototype was used by the RAF's High Speed Flight at Calshot as a seaplane trainer for Schneider Trophy pilots.

Aviafiber Canard 2FL. 

The Aviafiber Canard 2FL was a one-person recreational aircraft of highly unusual design, designed and built in Switzerland during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Design and development
Variously described as a rigid-wing hang-glider or as a foot-launched sailplane, the Canard 2FL was the brainchild of Swiss aerodynamicist Hans Farner. Of fibreglass construction, it consisted of a tiny fuselage, just big enough to accommodate the pilot in a prone position, provided with doors in the bottom through which the pilot's legs could extend for takeoff and landing. A large canard was fitted at the nose (as the name suggests), and the main lifting surfaces were supported atop tall, V-shaped pylons which both generated lift and acted as vertical fins. Wings, pylons and canard have Wortmann FX-67-170 airfoil section.

A further development of the concept can be seen in the Canard Aviation Canard SC, the production version of the 2FL. During flight tests of the SC, from 23 July 1983, progress was accelerated by the use of an auxiliary  König SC 430 3-cyl. two-stroke radial engine mounted on a pylon between the V-struts and main-plane, driving a folding propeller. Results of flight testing with the engine running encouraged Farner and Bucher to design a dedicated motor-glider version as the Canard Aviation Canard SCM, powered by a  engine. Farner had previously designed a motor-glider using the 2FL concept as the Farner HF Colibri 1 SL, which first flew in 1979.

The designer, Hans Farner, was killed flying one of their aircraft, prompting business partners to  withdraw the Canard 2FL, Canard SC and Canard SCM from sale, buying back the small number that had already been sold.

Aviafiber. 
Aviafiber was a Swiss sailplane manufacturer established in Wald in February 1977 by Ernst Ruppert, Hans Farner and Heinrich Bucher. Its most famous product was the Canard 2FL, a highly unorthodox design. A test pilot was killed in the crash of one of them, leading the company to withdraw them from the market. The company's name was changed to Canard Aviation as a result of legal action by the Avia petrol company and in 1982 was absorbed into Bucher Leichtbau.

Chromitite. Chromitite is an igneous cumulate rock composed mostly of the mineral chromite. It is found in layered intrusions such as the Bushveld Igneous Complex in South Africa, the Stillwater igneous complex in Montana and the Ring of Fire discovery in Ontario.

Chromitite typically forms as orthocumulate layered lenses in peridotite rocks, at times intergrown with other oxides such as magnetite and ilmenite, and silicates such as olivine, pyroxene, plagioclase feldspar (mainly anorthite), and garnet crystals.  The chromium rich garnet uvarovite forms in interbedded layers with chromitite.  

Chromitite is the main economic source for the mining of chromite and subsequent source of the metal chromium.

FreedomHEC. FreedomHEC (a play on WinHEC) was an "unconference" for computer hardware engineers and device driver developers that ran from 2006 to 2012. It focused on making computer hardware interoperate with free software and open source operating systems, especially Linux.

The idea of FreedomHEC “unconference” was first proposed by writer Don Marti on a Linux-related mailing list.

The first FreedomHEC conference was held May 26–27, 2006, in Seattle and was attended by around 30 people. The second was held May 18–19, 2007 in Los Angeles. These two events were scheduled immediately after WinHEC—and in the same city—to make it easier for developers to attend both.

The third FreedomHEC was held November 20–21, 2008, in Taipei, Taiwan. The fourth was held June 10–11, 2009, in Taipei.

The fourth and last FreedomHEC conference was held on June 12–13, 2012, again in Taipei.

Ferro Alloys Corporation. The Ferro Alloys Corporation Limited (FACOR) was floated in 1955 by the house of Sarafs and Mors to become the first major producer of ferromanganese in India.

The year 1956, marked the beginning of the Ferro Alloys Corporation Limited at Sriramnagar, Garividi, Vizianagaram district, Andhra Pradesh. The founder was Seth Shriman Durgaprasadji Saraf (1911–1988). The registered office is at Tumsar, Bhandara district, Maharashtra.

Ferroalloys are used as deoxidizers and alloy additives in the steel manufacturing process.

The ferromanganese plant started production in 1957, equipped with three furnaces for production of high carbon ferromanganese and ferrosilicon. In 1969, a reduction furnace and a slag furnace were commissioned for the production of ferrochrome. The company independently, set up a 16 MVA furnace in 1981.

FACOR acquired a small steel plant at Nagpur in Maharashtra. In 1979, FACOR developed the technology to produce charge chrome in their own R&D wing. They have established a charge chrome plant at D.P.Nagar, Randia in Bhadrak district of Odisha in 1983. It is a 100% Export Oriented Project with a production capacity of 50,000 tons per annum. FACOR signed an agreement with Marc Rich and Co. AG Switzerland, as the sole selling agent of their entire charge chrome output for 10 years.

The plants at Sriramnagar have facilities for raw material handling, metal, and slag casting, crushing, sizing and other ancillaries apart from furnaces for the smelting of ferroalloys. The raw materials are manganese ore, chromite and quartzite ores with principal elements of manganese, chromium and silicon respectively. They are obtained from the Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar states. The Ferro Alloys produced are High Carbon Ferro Chrome, Low Carbon Ferro Chrome, Silicochrome, Silicomanganese, and Magnesium Ferrosilicon, Ferromanganese etc., These alloys are tapped from electric arc furnaces in the molten state. They are prepared to the required size from 25  mm to 150  mm and transported to the various steel companies. The furnaces are connected to Two-stage venturi scrubber systems to maintain a clean environment in and around the production area.

FACOR has been accredited under ISO 9001:2000.

The existing manpower at Sriramnagar is about 784 regular employees with 107 supervisory personnel, besides 1070 contract workmen.

In 2003, the charge chrome division along with the mining division in Odisha has been demerged as FACOR STEELS Ltd and the Ferro Alloys division at Garividi as FACOR ALLOYS Ltd.

Eye popper. An eye popper, rubber popper, hopper popper or jumping popper is a children's toy. It consists of a small, dome-shaped piece of rubber or similar material resembling a half of a rubber ball; the shape of a smile is often imprinted on the dome. When pressed, the object inverts and becomes unstable and, after a few seconds, undergoes snap-through buckling to pop back into its original shape, making a loud popping sound. If resting on the ground when this happens, the toy will fly several feet into the air. It can also be thrown on the ground, causing it to pop upward. The eye popper's behavior resembles the process by which a ball compresses upon hitting a hard surface.

Youghiogheny River Lake. The Youghiogheny River Lake is a flood control reservoir that is located in southwestern Pennsylvania and western Maryland. It is a significant tourist attraction that brings in more than one million visitors a year to the area.

History and notable features
This lake was formed in 1944 by the damming of the Youghiogheny River upstream from Confluence, Pennsylvania.

The Youghiogheny Dam is an earthen structure,  high and  long at its crest, that is owned and operated by the United States Army Corps of Engineers.

The reservoir's normal surface area is approximately , and it has a maximum capacity of , although its normal storage level is .

The dam facilitates flood control, improves river flow and provides twelve megawatts of hydroelectric power. 

U.S. Route 40 crosses the lake between Jockey Hollow on the Fayette County side and Somerfield on the Somerset County side.

Somerfield was laid out on the western edge of Addison Township, Somerset County circa 1816 by Philip D. Smyth, who originally named the settlement Smythfield. Somerfield was abandoned, razed, and inundated when the reservoir was filled during the 1940s.

The stone Great Crossings Bridge of the National Road, which crossed the Youghiogheny at Somerfield, is visible at extremely low water levels. The triple-arch sandstone bridge was constructed between 1815 and 1818 by James Kinkead, James Beck, and Evan Evans.

List of surviving Boeing B-29 Superfortresses. The Boeing B-29 Superfortress is a United States heavy bomber used by the United States Army Air Forces in the Pacific Theatre during World War II, and by the United States Air Force during the Korean War. Of the 3,970 built, 26 survive in complete form today, 24 of which reside in the United States, and two of which are airworthy.

Background
In September 1945, following the surrender of Japan, all contracts for further production of the B-29 were terminated, after 3,970 aircraft (2,766 by Boeing Aircraft, 668 by Bell Aircraft, and 536 by Glenn L. Martin Co.) had been accepted by the USAAF.  Uncompleted airframes at the Boeing plant in Wichita, Kansas, were stripped of all government-furnished equipment and scrapped on site.

A vast majority of the B-29s were stored by a new process of cocooning. However, this process trapped heat and moisture inside the fuselage, resulting in damage to numerous airframes, primarily the avionics and instruments. Between 1946 and 1949, many early and high-time combat veteran aircraft were sold or scrapped. None were released to civilian use.

The majority of the surviving B-29s came from airframes that had served with the United States Navy at NAWS China Lake as target-tow aircraft, then unmanned target aircraft, and finally as ground targets. Additional B-29s were used at Aberdeen Proving Ground as ground targets and for survivability studies. Since the early 1970s, various B-29s have been recovered from China Lake and Aberdeen for museum displays – the last B-29 (Doc) removed from China Lake in 2000 was restored to flying condition.

Additional aircraft have been discovered at both post-war crash sites and near World War II Pacific airfields.  There is a search for the first B-29 to bomb Japan, Dauntless Dotty which crashed into the Pacific Ocean on take-off during her return flight to the United States. If the airplane is found, there are plans to recover and restore it for display. In 1995, an attempt to recover the Kee Bird, which had crashed in 1947 in northern Greenland, resulted in the almost complete destruction of the plane's fuselage by fire, started by a malfunctioning auxiliary power unit in the tail.
