乔治·伦纳德·斯当东，第一代斯当东从男爵


乔治·伦纳德·斯当东，第一代斯当东从男爵，FRS（英语：Sir George Leonard Staunton, 1st Baronet；1737年4月10日－1801年1月14日），英国探险家、植物学家，受雇于不列颠东印度公司。


出生在爱尔兰的戈尔韦。后在法国图卢兹的耶稣会学校就读，并于1758年获得医学博士的学位。后就读于法国蒙彼利埃医药学校。1790年获得牛津大学民法学博士学位。


斯当东最早在西印度群岛担任内科医生，但后来转行从事法律，并于1779年当选格林纳达司法长官。1784年，斯当东与其在西印度群岛第一位结交的好友乔治·马戛尔尼一起前往马德拉斯，同蒂普苏丹缔结和约。因为这个功绩，斯当东于1785年10月31日获得从男爵的爵位。


1787年2月，入选英国皇家学会院士。


1793年，斯当东成为英国访华使团的副使（正使为乔治·马戛尔尼），以庆贺清朝乾隆帝八十大寿为名出使中国，要求中国开放通商口岸。斯当东将沿途的所见所闻详细记载下来，写成《英使谒见乾隆纪实》（An Authentic Account of and Embassy from the King of Great Britain to the Emperor of China）一书。该书以一个西方人的视角看盛世时期的清朝，是研究清朝中期历史的重要史料。


1801年1月14日，斯当东在其位于伦敦德文郡路17号住宅中逝世。葬于西敏寺。其从男爵爵位由独子乔治·托马斯·斯当东继承。

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix".
