Researchers at Hokkaido University have taken a significant step forward in the drive to make recyclable yet stable plastics from plant materials. This is a key requirement to reduce the burden of plastic pollution in the environment. They developed a convenient and versatile method to make a variety of polymers from chemicals derived from plant cellulose; crucially, these polymers can be fully recycled. The method was published in the journal ACS Macro Letters. Cellulose is one of the most abundant components of biomass derived from plants, being a key part of the tough cell walls surrounding all plant cells. It can be readily obtained from plant wastes, such as straw and sawdust, therefore, using it as a feedstock for polymer manufacture should not reduce the availability of agricultural land for food production.

Trey Info Compilation part 10: Downplaying (pt1)

Trey downplaying himself is a running theme: he blames himself for falling down the stairs in Book 2 so that Riddle will not feel bad about it and repeatedly assures people that he is not doing “anything special” when they compliment him.

Lilia mentions Trey downplaying that he was sick during a class, and when Azul compliments Trey on his “effortless consideration of others” Trey says “It’s nothing so noble or kind.” Jamil says it seems Trey must have his hands full with Riddle and Trey downplays his efforts by saying, “that’s the fate of every vice housewarden.”

Trey is downplaying himself constantly throughout Vargas Camp 2, saying that he is “not really MVP material” and asking Rook to not hype him up, as he isn’t looking for attention and he isn’t sure how to respond to everyone’s compliments.

When the prefect compliments him as well he says, “Don’t you go ribbing me now, too.”

When Cater comments on how that makes it sound as though Trey doesn’t believe them Trey explains, “I just get really uncomfortable when I’m the center of attention.” Malleus encourages him to hold his head high.

Trey also insists that Rook gives him too much credit for catching their catfish and driving off the fairies at the camp: “I had to do something, so I did. That’s not really worth all this praise.”

The characters all come together to compliment Trey again at the end of the event despite his downplaying of everything he did and attempts to share credit with the group. Vil encourages him to just take a compliment.

When Ace asks what he does in his room all the time Trey says he just does homework and reads, not doing anything special.

Ace calls him a model student and Trey says, “I’m more on the average side, really.”

This habit of Trey’s becomes a topic of conversation between him and Vil in a vignette where Trey says he is “honestly kind of shocked” at hearing that there are people who remark that he is an exceptional second-in-command to Riddle.

Trey insists that nothing he does is all that praiseworthy and Vill says, “Those with no appreciation for character would take your modesty at face value. Of course, if that’s the image you want to manufacture for yourself, don’t let me stop you. You’re only shooting yourself in the foot.” Trey assures him that he will adjust his approach moving forward.

Robot Headcanons

AJ:

* Most robots get to choose their own names upon gaining sentience. AJ's was given to him by GCBC. It's short for "Adam Junior".

* AJ is a very adventurous sort with a tendency to test limits and push boundaries. This accounts for about 75% of his headbutting with Frank.

* AJ loves to help others and do what he can to make someone happy. When GCBC announced they would no longer be hunting Master Builders and would instead be helping to rebuild the city, AJ was all for it.

* AJ is very much the sort who would sneak stray animals into the Tower.

* He has a habit of cracking jokes or otherwise making light of a tense or serious situation. This accounts for the other 25% of his headbutting with Frank.

* AJ's activation day is March 4. He is 7 years old.

Frank:

* Frank is a very by-the-books sort and prefers to treat serious situations in a serious manner. AJ's rule-bending and tendency towards levity drives him up the wall.

* He is very dependable and level-headed. There is very little that can ruffle his feathers.

* Frank prefers to express his caring and affection through making sure his siblings are safe and accounted for. He takes this job very seriously.

* Frank's activation day is August 17. He is 9 years old.

Ace:

* Ace is pretty laid-back and loves to chat. Especially about his "baby" (an Airbus H225).

* He is a pilot who has flown various types of aircraft, mostly dropships. His favorite to fly are helicopters. He's very skilled and he knows it.

* His left hand was crushed beyond repair in a crash. The only spare parts GCBC had at the time had discolored plating from a mix-up during manufacturing, so it's more of a brassy color.

* His activation day is January 8. He'll be 4 years old soon.

General Robot Trivia:

* The robots have a sense of touch. Most of their frames can only register pressure and heat or cold, but the palms of their hands and fingertips are every bit as sensitive as a human's and can pick out a variety of textures. They tend to get touchy-feely because of this.

* They also have a sense of smell, much better than a human's. They can detect things a human would never pick up on.

* While all robots were programmed with loyalty first and foremost to Business, the SwatBots have all developed a stronger sense of loyalty to their Chiefs. If GCBC were ever to leave Octan, they would follow in a heartbeat.

* The robots have a type of super-secure short range Wi-Fi they use to communicate with each other. Good Cop has jokingly referred to it as them having a "hive mind", and honestly, it does seem to function that way when they're all in close enough range to each other.

The Hound of the Baskervilles: The Man on the Tor

E. Remington and Sons, founded in 1816, was an American company known for firearms and typewriters, manufacturing the first commercial model of the latter. The typewriter part of the business was sold off in 1886 and via a series of corporate changes, the company is now part of Unisys. Not that it makes typewriters anymore.

The earliest known use of the word "sexy" comes from a letter by Arnold Bennett in 1896.

This is a period where people, especially of class, very much cared about avoiding scandal. A married woman visiting a single man late at night would be a scandal.

At this time Laura Lyons would have to prove that her estranged husband had committed both adultery and abandoned her. Proving the former would usually require a private detective of some form, beyond the means of most people.

A red letter day is one of special significance. In the UK, there are certain days where English High Court judges wear scarlet robes instead of the normal black. This would include religious festivals and the Sovereign's birthdays (official and actual), but I am unable to find an updated official list to reflect the situation with the current King.

Red Letter Days is also the name of a company that sells "experiences" like tank driving days or a cream tea at a posh hotel.

While Franklin possibly isn't aware of it as it was a common turn of phrases, the term "double event" was used in a postcard purporting to be from Jack the Ripper sent the day after that serial killer murdered two women in the space of an hour.

The Court of Queen’s Bench, now the Court of King's Bench, is the division of the High Court dealing with things like personal injury, libel and breach of contract:

Frankland clearly does not remember that you cannot sue the Sovereign. He could sue the Devon County Constabulary though, which has since become the Devon and Cornwall Police.

Tins for food were widespread at this time. They were made of iron, soldered with a tin-lead alloy, which could lead to poisoning by the latter until Max Ams developed a seam in 1888 that only required the solder on the outside.

A pannikin is a metal cup coated in enamel.

"Spartan" means austere. The city state of Sparta in ancient Greece was known, in a rather mythologicalised fashion, for its heavily militarised society, eschewing personal comfort for this. It attracted a lot of admirers as a result, including playing a big part in fascist beliefs. Their reputation for physical prowess has also seen several sports teams adopt their name, like AC Sparta Prague, who dominate the Czech association football game.

There is also of course 300...

aC on vacation

so here's a summary of day 1, more later when i feel like getting the photos off my phone

got to a hotel where my brother and his wife are staying because fuck driving several hours when i should be asleep. google maps sends me to a parallel fucking dimension where the hotel was built on the opposite side of the city. also the roads here are somehow iced over when most of the road leading here wasn't so go figure. we try to get dinner and almost everywhere is closed on account of the snow, except for this hole in the wall chinese takeout place, because if you can count on any place to be open, it's one of these. they make the best general tso's chicken i've had in a long time, it turns out

woke up at like four in the morning for our 7:30 am flight, because by airport logic being only two hours early is tantamount to no-showing. this was right after shit got polar so the roads were covered in ice. at the parking place, i tried and failed to get past a barrier before the lever arm came back down again because it was on a slight incline and i couldn't get enough traction to clear it before it closed. this happened like SIX TIMES, it was some Three Stooges shit

our shuttle takes us over to the airport. i stick to my brother like a little kid to his mom because he's done this before and i have not. the flight is going to be five hours. which doesn't make sense to me because the return flight is only supposed to be three and a half. i dunno, maybe headwinds or something? i'm not a fucking pilot. i'm anxious to get this part over with because, again, never flown before. after waiting for clearance for what feels like forever (justified, on account of ice) we're finally in the air. it's... nothing? it's kind of mundane and somehow boring. one of the greatest achievements in human history and the only difference between this and being on a bus packed full of strangers is there's no road to rumble against that eventually numbs your butt, and also it's several degrees of magnitude faster than a bus i suppose

we arrive at LAX and if i didn't already feel like a fish out of water then oh boy. how the fuck do people live like this? how do you figure out who's supposed to go where? it's like living in the Kowloon Walled City, thought the guy who grew up imagining anywhere big enough to have a walmart counted as a "big city"

we get another shuttle, this one absolutely cramped with people, to get to the rental car place. my brother argues with the guy (who isn't even actually *physically* there, he's somehow doing sales over Zoom or some shit) for like half an hour before telling him to cancel the whole thing. turns out they wanted close to four times what he was originally quoted and weren't budging. we decide to get an uber to the closest In-n-Out, because we're in California, and also starving, so why not. we're standing in line looking a bunch of huge dorks carrying around suitcases. if i was ever going to be mugged in broad daylight it would be right here, right now. i order a double double combo, swap out the tomato for onions because raw tomato has all the texture and flavor of a balloon filled with wet sand, and onions and cheeseburgers go together like chocolate and peanut butter. the burger's okay, i guess. the fries are the most boring fries i've ever eaten. at least it's probably the cheapest meal i'll have while i'm here

we take another uber to get to our airbnb, about 45 minutes out. every other billboard is this guy

we arrive and immediately notice something is wrong. it was advertised as 4 bed. there are TWO double beds. this is pretty good if you're two married couples and not so much if you're the double third wheel travelling with two married couples. there's one room with a folding leather futon and not much else that seems kind of pointless and i decide this is where i'll stay. turns out that futon is the least comfortable sleeping surface ever manufactured in human history and there are maybe three exact positions that are even kind of comfortable enough to fall asleep in while lying on it and not having an iron bar press up into your lower back or your shoulderblade or the back of your neck

END OF DAY 1

Looking ahead, several trends are set to shape the future landscape of aviator game development beyond 2024. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are poised to introduce more sophisticated non-player characters (NPCs), enhancing the realism and unpredictability of in-game interactions. Players can expect NPCs to exhibit more lifelike behaviors and responses, making each gameplay experience unique and dynamic.

Additionally, procedural generation techniques are anticipated to revolutionize game world creation. Developers can harness these tools to generate vast and diverse environments efficiently, offering players endless opportunities for exploration and discovery. From sprawling cityscapes to remote wilderness, procedural generation will enable aviator games to deliver expansive and immersive virtual worlds that evolve dynamically.

Furthermore, the integration of blockchain technology holds promise for transforming ownership and trading of virtual assets within aviator games.

These advancements will democratize access to aviator games, attracting a broader audience and fostering a more interconnected gaming community.

As aviator game developers continue to embrace these trends and innovations, the future promises exciting possibilities for the genre. Whether exploring new frontiers in AI, harnessing the potential of blockchain technology, or expanding virtual horizons through procedural generation, aviator games are poised to captivate players with their limitless creativity and immersive experiences in the skies of tomorrow.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the enduring popularity of aviator game development in 2024 stems from its immersive gameplay, realism, innovation, broad appeal, technological advancements, community engagement, and anticipation of future trends. As these games evolve with technology and player expectations, they continue to captivate audiences with their realism, creativity, and sense of exploration. By embracing new technologies and community-driven content, aviator games are poised to remain at the forefront of interactive entertainment, offering players thrilling experiences and limitless possibilities in the virtual skies.

The first William Henderson designed four cylinder motorcycle, America's finest early four cylinder, influential for decades This is believed to be the only original/unrestored 1912 Henderson known in America

Original paint and tires 59 cubic inch F-Head Four Cylinder engine Henderson was based in Detroit, formed by brothers William and Tom The Henderson company was purchased by Ignatz Schwinn in 1918, adding a four cylinder to the Excelsior lineup.

Working for Schwinn for two years, Bill and Tom broke away and started the ACE motorcycle company. The Culmination of Henderson design can be seen in the Indian Four

Formerly from the Doc Cleveland Collection. William Henderson was an engineering child prodigy, as so many historical figures seem to be. He was born into the motoring industry, as his grandfather, Alexander Winton, had founded one of the earlier auto makers in the USA, and his father was Vice President of Winton Motors. William joined the family firm at 16, but spent his free time sketching out ideas for motorcycles, which he’d pass by his father for technical critique. Eventually, the sketches became blueprints, and his father could only nitpick at the sound design for a 4-cylinder motorcycle his son had penned in 1909. Figuring the effort of actually building a prototype from the sketches might curb his enthusiasm, Tom helped William build a working prototype in 1911; the resulting machine worked so well, young William was able to secure funding to the tune of $175,000 to start manufacture on his own. Working with his brother Thomas as chief operating officer, the Henderson Motorcycle Company produced its first motorcycle from its Detroit factory in January 1912.

The first Hendersons used a 4-cylinder 57 CI (934cc) motor with inlet-over-exhaust design, with a single-speed chain drive and a clutch. It was started via a folding hand crank, just like a Winton car, and the very long chassis was designed for stability and the ability to carry a passenger with ease. The front fork had a short leading-link suspension, and the fuel was carried in a long cylindrical torpedo tank. It was a beautiful and elegant machine, wonderfully constructed, very fast and expensive at $325. It was soon labeled the “Duesenberg of motorcycles” for good reason, with totally smooth running, a charming exhaust note and an air of quality. Carl Stearns Clancy famously chose a Henderson for the first ever round-the-world motorcycle journey, which began in October 1912 and covered 18,000 miles by August 1913. Clancy earned money selling press reports and photographs of his trip, making an incredible publicity coup of Henderson.

This 1912 Henderson is the only original-paint, first-year Henderson known in America. It retains the paint applied by the factory, as well as the tires and everything else. It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime motorcycle, in remarkable condition for being 105 years old and would be welcome in any Concours d’Elegance around the world as a solid-gold original. How does one value such a machine? One doesn’t; if you can afford it, do what it takes to secure it as this is as good as it gets.

Sydney Trains M set

Class of electric train operating in Sydney, Australia

The Sydney Trains M sets, also referred to as the Millennium trains, are a class of electric multiple units that operate on the Sydney Trains network. Built by EDi Rail between 2002 and 2005, the first sets initially entered service under the CityRail brand on 1 July 2002 after short delays due to electrical defects. The M sets were built as "fourth generation" trains for Sydney's suburban rail fleet, replacing the 1960s Tulloch carriages and providing extra capacity on the suburban rail network. The sets currently operate on the T2 Inner West & Leppington, T3 Bankstown, T5 Cumberland, T7 Olympic Park and T8 Airport & South lines.

Design

Vestibule

The Millennium train, like the entire Sydney Trains fleet and electric NSW TrainLink fleet, is a double decker. It is a four car consist, with the middle two cars being non-control motor cars and the two outer cars being driving control trailer cars fitted with the pantograph. The Millennium train was the first to be equipped with an AC drive system unlike the Tangara, which has a DC drive system. The sets usually operate in eight-car formations with two four-car sets combined. While the Millennium train concept is an evolution of the Tangara concept (manufactured by A Goninan & Co), the Millennium train introduced new features such as internal electronic destination indicators, automated digital voice announcements for upcoming stops, a return to reversible seating, surveillance cameras, wider stairways, a new safety yellow colour scheme, and push-button opened internal doors. The Millennium Train also introduced crumple zones to absorb impact in a collision. Interiors were designed by Transport Design International.

The train also features emergency help points, allowing passengers to contact the train crew in an emergency. The help points are located on the sides of the stairwell to the upper deck. There are actually two help points in the same location, with a large one at face height with a microphone and speaker, and a lower one with a microphone only. There are also emergency door releases which were retrofitted to the trains. These allow passengers to manually open the doors in an emergency, as recommended in the report for the Waterfall rail accident. The retrofit program was stated as having been completed in November 2014.

Like with the T, A and B sets, the M sets feature Scharfenberg couplers.

M sets are 3.03 metres (9 ft 11+1⁄4 in) wide, being classed by Transport for NSW as medium width trains, which allows them to operate within the whole Sydney Trains suburban network.

Unlike sets M2–M35, set M1 has a slightly different interior design with differently coloured doors and different seat handles for unknown reasons.

Delivery

Stairwell

The cars were constructed by EDi Rail at Cardiff Workshops. The contract included a 15-year maintenance agreement with EDi Rail to maintain the trains at a specialised maintenance centre at Eveleigh. During testing and initial revenue service, they ran as four car sets, with eight car sets commencing service towards the end of 2002 after further testing. All 35 four car sets were delivered by October 2005.

The initial order signed in October 1998 was for 81 carriages, in December 2002 an option was taken up for an additional 60. In February 2017, Sydney Trains exercised an option to extend Downer's maintenance of the trains for a further 10 years.

Criticisms

The Millennium trains were criticised for having several technical problems and causing problems with Sydney Trains, they were referred to in the media reports as The "Mi-lemon" and "Millenni-Bug" as a result. Some of the problems were caused by insufficient power supply on the overhead to cope with the power demands of the more technologically advanced trains causing them to shut down. Software bugs also contributed to the trains' poor reliability.

The Millennium trains were withdrawn from service in April 2003 while the problems were being rectified and a full audit was carried out. They were subsequently reintroduced into service in June 2003 and have since been operating on the T2 Inner West & Leppington, T3 Bankstown, T6 Carlingford, T7 Olympic Park and T8 Airport & South lines. After the new timetable was released on 26 November 2017, M sets began as 4-car services on the T5 Cumberland line on both weekdays & weekends, along with a few 8-car Waratahs.

In late 2008, two Millennium trains were fitted with external cameras atop of carriages near the doors, testing their use for the then-future Waratah trains. These cameras were subsequently incorporated into the final design of the Waratah train.

Lines serviced

The Millennium trains typically operate on the following lines (normally described as Sector 2):

T2 Inner West & Leppington Line: Leppington or Parramatta to City Circle via Granville

T3 Bankstown Line: Liverpool or Lidcombe to City Circle via Bankstown

T5 Cumberland Line: Leppington to Richmond

T7 Olympic Park Line: Shuttle from Lidcombe to Olympic Park on weekdays

T8 Airport & South Line: Macarthur to City Circle via Airport or Sydenham

Maintenance Depots

The trains were originally maintained at Eveleigh Maintenance Centre.

As with all other trains, these trains are not exclusively kept in Auburn overnight. They only need to return to the depot for maintenance, and at other times, they may be stabled at various yards on the lines that they operate, such as Liverpool and Leppington yards -Anastasia the train girl
