As I make this post, Russia is in their second month of the invasion of Ukraine. I think back to my college days trying to remember anyone I might know from Ukraine, and I recall the premier textbook on Applied Engineering Mechanics was written by Stephen Timoshenko.
Born in Ukraine and settled in the United States, teaching at Stanford for over forty years (Timoshenko | Mechanics and Computation (stanford.edu)).
In his honor and for the benefit of the besieged Ukrainians, I pledge to donate any advertising income of my blog to a vetted Ukrainian relief organization (My vetting will be through Fidelity Charitable: https://www.fidelitycharitable.org/guidance/disaster-relief/how-to-help-ukraine.html?_ga=2.119746766.759715814.1649212022-1817714618.1634856305).
