Creech Air Force Base

Creech Air Force Base (IATA-code: INS, ICAO-code: KINS) is een vliegbasis van de United States Air Force bij Indian Springs in Clark County in de Amerikaanse staat Nevada. Vanuit Creech AFB worden "dagelijkse overzeese 'contingency' (nood)operaties ... met van op afstand bestuurde vliegtuigsystemen die missies over de hele wereld vliegen" gestuurd. Naast een luchthaven heeft de militaire installatie het Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Battlelab, bijbehorende grondapparatuur voor luchtoorlogvoering en onbemande luchtvaartuigen van het type dat in Afghanistan en Irak wordt gebruikt, zoals de RQ-170 Sentinel. Het luchtruim boven Creech is de luchttrainingslocatie voor de U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, gestationeerd in de nabijgelegen Nellis Air Force Base en "is een van de twee noodvliegvelden" voor de Nevada Test and Training Range. Naast het vliegveld omvat de basis de "UAV-Logistic and Training Facility", het Joint Unmanned Aerial Systems Center of Excellence, Silver Flag Alpha Regional Training Center en andere militaire eenheden/faciliteiten. De basis is vernoemd naar de gepensioneerde Amerikaanse luchtmachtgeneraal Wilbur L. Creech, de voormalige commandant van Tactical Air Command (TAC), het voorgangercommando van het hedendaagse Air Combat Command (ACC). Vanop de basis worden MQ-1 Predators, MQ-9 Reapers en RQ-170 Sentinels bestuurd.

Creech Air Force Base

Creech Air Force Base är en militär flygplats (IATA: INS, ICAO: KINS, FAA LID: INS) tillhörande USA:s flygvapen som är belägen i utanför Indian Springs i Clark County i Nevada, ungefär 48 kilometer nordväst om Las Vegas. Basens värdförband är 432nd Wing som ingår i Fifteenth Air Force och verksamheten på Creech har sedan början på 2000-talet primärt kretsat kring operationer med obemannade luftfarkoster, både UAV och UCAV. Bakgrund Basen, vars namn då var Indian Springs Airport, uppfördes på 1940-talet under andra världskriget för USA:s arméflygvapen och användes för utbildning på flygplanstyperna B-17 Flying Fortress och T-6 Texan. Efter krigets slut drogs verksamheten in, men återöppnades 1949 och fick då namnet Indian Springs Air Force Base och kom huvudsakligen att användas för forskning och utveckling. 1956 blev Indian Springs AFB den huvudsakliga övningsplatsen för flygvapnets flyguppvisningsgrupp, Thunderbirds. Tactical Air Command (TAC) övertog ansvaret för basen 1961 och då fanns flera detachement för enheter som understödde verksamheten med provsprängningar av kärnvapen på närbelägna Nevada Test Site. USA:s president John F. Kennedy besökte basen 8 december 1962. Under 1964 ändrades namnet till Indian Springs Air Force Auxiliary Field, vilket återspeglade dess roll som en sekundär del av Nellis Air Force Base. Den 18 januari 1982 inträffade en olycka i vilken fyra Thunderbirdspiloter förolyckades vid flygning med T-38 Talon i diamantformation. I och med flygvapnets omorganisering under 1992 hamnade basen under Air Combat Command (ACC). Ett nytt kapitel började den 13 december 1996 med den första flygningen av drönaren RQ-1 Predator. I februari 2001 avfyrades i närområdet den första roboten av typ AGM-114 Hellfire från en drönare. Verksamheten kom därefter att expandera kraftigt i samband med krigen i Afghanistan och Irak. Den 20 juni 2005 fick basen sitt nuvarande namn, Creech Air Force Base. Namnet kommer från general Wilbur L. Creech (1927-2003) som var chef för TAC mellan 1976 och 1984. Creech hade personlig koppling till platsen som Thunderbirdspilot samt delaktighet, i egenskap av befälhavare för TAC, i det utvecklingsprojekt som senare skulle utmynna i den första Predator-drönaren. Under 2007 anlände den första drönaren av typ MQ-9 Reaper.

Nevada State College

Das Nevada State College ist eine staatliche Hochschule in Henderson im US-Bundesstaat Nevada. Das College wurde am 3. September 2002 als dritte staatliche Hochschule in Nevada gegründet und hat 66 Dozenten und etwa 3400 Studenten (Stand 2013). Die Schulfarben sind schwarz und gold und das Schulmaskottchen ist ein Skorpion. Einige Studiengänge des Colleges, wie etwa Wirtschaft, litten bisher an sehr niedrigen Einschreibungsraten. Um Kosten zu sparen, wurde kürzlich eine geheim gehaltene Anzahl Mitarbeiter entlassen. Ebenfalls Sorge bereitet die überdurchschnittlich niedrige Abschlussrate der Studenten. Bis Ende Frühling 2008 schlossen 16 % der Vollzeitstudenten ab, die sich im Herbst 2002 an der Hochschule eingeschrieben hatten und 11 % der Studienanfänger von 2003. Dies entspricht einem Drittel der Abschlussraten an den staatlichen Colleges in Kalifornien. Die durchschnittliche 6-Jahres-Abschlussrate an Colleges in den Vereinigten Staaten liegt bei 57 %.

Las Vegas Festival Grounds

O Las Vegas Festival Grounds (anteriormente MGM Resorts Festival Grounds) é um local de eventos ao ar livre, com área de 33 acres (13 ha), situado no Las Vegas Strip, ao norte do Circus Hotel and Casino, de propriedade da MGM, em Winchester, Nevada, Estados Unidos. História De 1941 a 1960 o El Rancho Vegas ocupou o local. O local foi desenvolvido pela MGM Resorts International, o Cirque du Soleil, e a Yucaipa Companies, de propriedade do investidor americano Ron Burkle, primariamente para servir como local do festival de música bianual Rock in Rio USA, que realizou sua edição inaugural em 2015. A MGM construiu o piso do local de forma que o mesmo possa servir para festivais, concertos e eventos esportivos (como boxe, artes marciais mistas e futebol), como complemento a seus outros locais na área. O local foi inicialmente chamado de a City of Rock, nome este derivado do seu equivalente brasileiro, o festival Rock in Rio. Em outubro de 2015, a marca MGM Resorts foi descartada e o local foi renomeado simplesmente como Las Vegas Festival Grounds. A renomeação foi parte de um esforço para minimizar o papel da MGM no local para melhorar sua comercialização para eventos de terceiros, e anunciar o local como parte da "comunidade" de Las Vegas. Eventos notáveis O Rock in Rio USA de 2015 foi realizado no local. A cantora estadunidense Taylor Swift iniciou a etapa norte-americana de sua turnê mundial The 1989 World Tour aqui, em 15 de maio de 2015, como parte do festival Rock in Rio USA.

Lorenzi Park, Las Vegas

Lorenzi Park is one of the first parks in the City of Las Vegas. It was originally a vision of French immigrant, David G. Lorenzi. In 1911 Lorenzi came to the Las Vegas Valley lured by the rumors of artesian wells that would transform the desert to farm land. He purchased 80 acres (32 ha) of property on the outskirts of town, about two miles west current downtown Fremont Street area in 1912. When Lorenzi drilled one of the most abundant wells of its time, it fostered dreams David brought with him from France, to create a vineyard in the desert to make European-styled wines. However in 1912 Las Vegas was more of a beer and whiskey town so the vineyard idea quickly died. The abundance of water there allowed Lorenzi to create the signature lakes we see rebuilt today. The property first opened as Lorenzi’s Lake Park in 1926 with a pool, dance pavilion, two lakes with an island in each and orchards. Lorenzi charged very little to enter into the Resort. He made his money from the amenities he provided. It became the local destination with rowboats, ice cream, fireworks, prize fights, horse races, dance contests, beauty pageants, a band shell with weekly bands. The shell even doubled as an outdoor movie screen. The resort was busy during the prohibition era. It became a place where local socialites could go to ignore prohibition. Lorenzi wanted to sell the property for use as a city park. He offered it to the city for $70,000 in 1936. Unfortunately the city stated it was too far out of their budget. The property sold in 1940 to become Twin Lakes Lodge, a resort getaway with a 48-room hotel. In the 1950s with the emergence of the Nevada Test Site, Twin Lakes hosted scientists and their families that worked there. Twin Lakes was prominent in another local "industry", dude ranching and divorce in Nevada. In most jurisdictions divorces were hard to get. You could not just state, "irrevocable differences" and seek a divorce. The resort played an important role as Divorce seekers were able to stay at the motel the six weeks required to establish residency. The motel also presented a real "Western" experience offering horseback riding, rodeo events, fishing, and authentic food. This brought in visitors from all over the world! By 1965 the resort was finally purchased for $750,000 by the city to become a city park. The remaining motel buildings and the two lakes give us an important glimpse of Las Vegas's past. In 2013 the City of Las Vegas re-opened Lorenzi Park after a $30 million upgrade. The lake has been completely redone and reverted to its Twin Lake configuration. The band shell on the island has returned. New amenities have been created while keeping the flavor of the old resort. References
Gigafactory 1

Tesla Gigafactory 1 (nebo také Gigafactory Nevada) je výrobní závod na lithium-iontové akumulátory pro firmu Tesla Inc., která byla slavnostně otevřena 29. července 2016. Nachází se v průmyslové zóně Tahoe Reno Industrial Center v okrese Storey v americkém státě Nevada. Sekce A od prvního čtvrtletí roku 2016 vyrábí tzv. Tesla Powerwall, což je domácí Tesla baterie. V lednu 2017 zahájila sériovou výrobu článků lithium-iontových akumulátorů pro automobil Tesla Model 3. V srpnu 2018 bylo tempo produkce baterií již 20 GWh ročně, což v té době bylo více než všechny ostatní automobilky dohromady. Do továrny investovala Tesla Inc. spolu s japonskou firmou Panasonic, odhadovaná cena stavby má pohybovat kolem 5 miliard USD. Historie Spekulace o výstavbě této budovy Tesla zveřejnila v roce 2013, v červnu 2015 začaly stavební práce, má být dostavěna v roce 2020. V tu dobu bude největší budovou na světě podle rozlohy. Díky masové výrobě by baterie měly být ve výsledku levnější a přívětivější k životnímu prostředí, například díky efektivní recyklaci v továrně. Gigafactory bude čerpat energii z obnovitelných zdrojů energie. Sesterské závody Tesla Gigafactory 2 (známá jako Gigafactory New York) se měla začala stavět v září 2014 ve městě Buffalo ve státě New York a byla dokončena v roce 2017.. Gigafactory 3 (známá jako Gigafactory Shanghai) byla postavena v letech 2018 až 2019, přičemž v říjnu 2019 v ní byl zahájen provoz. Další Gigafactory byla naplánována pro Evropu, dříve se uvažovalo o České republice, ale nakonec byla postavena v Německu nedaleko Berlín a označuje se také jako Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg nebo Giga Berlin. Gigafactory 5 známá jako Gigafactory Texas (Giga Texas nebo Giga Austin) byla vybudována v letech 2020 až 2022. Pojem „gigafactory” (gigatovárna) se však začal používat i pro obří továrny na baterie jiných výrobců, než je Tesla. Česká vláda jednal o výstavbě podobného závodu nedaleko Plzně, ale v říjnu 2023 firma Volkswagen oznámila, že koncern nebude v současnosti rozhodovat o možných dalších lokalitách pro výstavbu gigafactory na baterie v Evropě a ze záměru sešlo. Produkty Firma vyvíjí bateriové úložiště pro domácnosti, Powerwall s kapacitou 13,5 kWh, a podniky, Powerpack s kapacitou 210 kWh. Dalším evolučním stupněm bateriových úložišť je pak Megapack. Ten má o 60 % větší hustotu baterie než Powerpack, takže nabízí 3 megawatthodiny (MWh). Pro srovnání, o něco méně (2,5 MWh) spotřebuje průměrná česká domácnost za rok, pokud jí elektřina neslouží k vytápění, ani k ohřevu vody. Odkazy Reference Související články Tesla Inc.
