The Sierra-class corvettes are corvettes of the Mexican Navy intended mainly for interception of drug smugglers, exclusive economic zone (EEZ) patrol, and countering terrorism. The class comprises four ships with the lead ship ARM Sierra commissioned by the Mexican Navy in 1998. One ship, ARM Benito Juárez, was sunk as a target ship in 2007 after being wrecked by fire in 2003. The other three vessels remain in service.

Design and development
Originally, this project was designated Holzinger 2000 because it is a further development of the  ships introduced in the early 1990s. The Sierra class has a different superstructure than the preceding Holzinger class. The Sierra class as built had a full load displacement of  and measured  long with a beam of  and a draught of . According to the Mexican Navy, the vessels have a length of , a beam of , a draught of  and a normal displacement of . The corvettes are powered by two Caterpillar 3616 V16 diesel engines turning two shafts creating  total. This gave the vessels a speed of  or . The vessels have  two  and one  generators for power production. 

The Sierra class mount a Saab EOS 450 optronic director for fire control, and radars operating on the E/F and I-bands for navigation, surface and air search. They are equipped with the Alenia 2 combat data system. These ships have an aft flight deck and hangar for one MBB Bo 105C helicopter. The corvettes are armed with one  Mk3 naval gun on the fore deck to engage air and surface targets. The 57 mm gun is capable of firing 220 rounds per minute to a distance of . Matias Romero alone is also equipped with an SA-N-10 surface-to-air missile with a range of . The ships carry an  interceptor craft capable of . The corvettes have a complement of 75 including 10 officers.

Construction and career
Four vessels were ordered by the Mexican Navy in 1997 from shipyards in Tampico and Salina Cruz. The lead ship Justo Sierra Mendez (shortened to Sierra by the Mexican Navy) was commissioned on 1 June 1999 and the last, Guillermo Prieto (shortened to Prieto) on 17 September 1999.

On 24 October 2003 a fire broke out aboard Juárez while operating in the Gulf of Mexico. The fire quickly engulfed the ship, leading to the crew abandoning ship. The fire was brought under control with the aid of the Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) tugboat Avila Karisma and the Mexican Navy vessels ARM Sierra,  and  while the crew were evacuated to Mexican naval facilities in Ciudad del Carmén, Campeche. To allow for the corvette to be towed, the heat on the deck had to be reduced. Instructed by a PEMEX specialist firefighter, the vessels coordinated their efforts and brought the temperature down enough for the PEMEX tugboat Adee Tide II to begin towing operations on 25 October and brought the vessel to Dos Bocas, Tabasco. Juárez was decommissioned and used as a target ship in July 2007.

Pipaón is a village located in Alava in the Basque country, Spain, beneath Sierra de Cantabria. The total population is about 36 inhabitants. It has an ethnographic museum and dances that go back many years ago. It also has a cultural association called Usatxi in charge of cultural activities throughout the year. These include a living bethlehem made by the villagers and in some days the museum is made at the streets of the village. Here the townspeople perform daily activities of the people 100 years ago. The village has a small sport area where a football field and the bowling alley are included. In the main square of the village is located the only bar the village has.

History
According to some historians, is mentioned in the Fuero granted to the Puebla de Arganzón in 1191, Treviño in 1254 and subsequently to the jurisdiction of Peñacerrada in the 14th century. In 1975 he went to city hall Lagrán. After 425 years, its inhabitants bought their freedom, and 2 November 1802 received the title of town. For the record of this fact, in the entrance of the town a stick with a cross and a ring was put as a symbol of their freedom of lands of Count.

The "Usatxi" Cultural Association, having disappeared the ancient monolith, raised new one 27 September 1986 with a cut ash trunk that school children had planted near the cemetery in 1925. After 14 years fell due to inclement weather. On 16 November 2002, coinciding with the 200th anniversary of his liberty, the Juntas Generales of Álava put the current monolith stone with the cross, the ring and a commemorative plaque.

Throughout its history, the village has been traveled by Navarre and Castilian troops to go from Zaragoza to Bilbao. The villagers earned money grazing and sailing the coal which was transported through the port of Pipaon towards Herrera, to go to Laguardia and surrounding villages. Nowadays the old part of the village is decorated with emblazoned houses which doors are made by round arch of the 16th century, the ethnographic museum "Usatxi" and a Parish church, dedicated to the Feast of the Cross. The old school building, now, houses the cultural association "Usatxi". The villa has been expanded with new buildings

East Base on Stonington Island is the oldest American research station in Antarctica, having been commissioned by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939. The station was built as part of two US wintering expeditions – United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941) and Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948). The base covers  from north to south and  from east to west. The base was accorded the status of one of the Historic Sites and Monuments in Antarctica on 7 May 2004.

First expedition
The Antarctic Service Expedition was the first government-funded expedition of Admiral Richard E. Byrd (his first two expeditions in 1928–1930 and 1933–1935 were privately funded). East Base was built using Army knockdown buildings and a crew of 23 led by Richard Black, after Admiral Byrd had to return to Washington on the USS Bear. The war time pressures and pack-ice in the bay which prevented ship movement led to the evacuation of the base in 1941 by air.

Second expedition and subsequent decline
A private expedition led by Finn Ronne (second in command in the 1941 expedition) in 1947 ended with the participants' evacuation in 1948. The expedition crew included Jackie Ronne and Jennie Darlington, who became the first women to spend a winter in Antarctica. The base and all its equipment have since not been utilized, even though the British Antarctic Survey developed Base E in the vicinity of East Base. The British also occupied and modified the East Base during the construction of Base E.  As of 2017, the base is frequented by tourists arriving on the continent.

Bergzabern Palace () is a landmark in the town of Bad Bergzabern, located in the old town centre.
Formerly the residence of the Dukes of Pfalz-Zweibrücken, it now houses the administrative functions of the local government of Bad Bergzabern.

History 

The Counts of Saarbrücken probably built a water castle in the 12th and 13th centuries on the site of the present palace. It was first mentioned in 1333 as "Feste Zabern by Lantecken". In 1385, it fell to the Electorate of the Palatinate and then, via succession in 1410, into the possession of Palatinate-Zweibrücken.

In 1525, the castle complex was destroyed by insurgent Lorraine peasants who had taken the town. Louis II of Zweibrücken rebuilt the complex, this time in the form of a "Burgschloss" i.e. a mixture of a fortified castle and an unfortified palace. In 1532, the south wing was completed, still in evidence today in the two round towers which served at the time as turrets. The castle was also protected at this time by a moat.

In 1676, it was destroyed, largely by fire, after an attack by French troops but subsequently rebuilt (1720–25) by the Swedish-Zweibrücken minister of buildings. In 1794, the French conquered the palace, which was then auctioned off in 1803 as a so-called national property. Also around this time, the surrounding moat was filled. The palace became the property of the town of Bergzabern, but once again suffered significant damage in a fire in 1909 and was thereafter used as a school until it was established, after major renovation, as the seat of the Bad Bergzabern local government in 1984.

He passed the government college matriculation exam only at the age of 27 and then proceeded to Judson College (now part of Rangoon University) in Rangoon (Yangon).

National Education
During the 1920 University Students' Strike, he served on the Students' Council and began writing articles for the New Light of Myanmar, then a Burmese nationalist newspaper. He received his B.A. in 1922 and began to work as an education Superintendent.

Death
Po Kya died of malaria on 11 April 1942 while fleeing the Japanese invasion during the Second World War at Htantabin in today's Yangon Region.

Von Guerard Stream () is a glacial meltwater stream, 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 km) long, which flows northwest from the unnamed glacier east of Crescent Glacier to enter Lake Fryxell close east of Harnish Creek, in Taylor Valley, Victoria Land. The name was suggested by Diane McKnight, leader of United States Geological Survey (USGS) teams which made extensive studies of the hydrology of streams in the Lake Fryxell basin, 1987–94. Named after hydrologist Paul B. von Guerard, a member of the field team in three seasons, 1990–94, who assisted in establishing stream gaging stations on streams flowing into Lake Fryxell in the 1990–91 season.
