Amdo Jampa (born 1911 in Chentsa, Amdo, Tibet, died 28 March 2002, Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, China), also known as Jampa Tseten, was a Tibetan painter.

Biography 

Amdo Jampa was known for his photo-realistic style. He made famous portraits of the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama.

He was one of the first Tibetan artists to study at a Chinese art college.

He was a student of the Tibetan scholar and artist Gendün Chöphel.

As a teenager, he became a monk at Drepung Monastery and study traditional Tibetan thangka painting. He left Drepung when he accompanied the Dalai Lama to Beijing in 1954.

There, he studied traditional Chinese painting and Western painting techniques under the guidance of the Chinese teacher Li Zhongjin.

When he came back in Lhasa in 1956, he was commissioned to paint in the Tagtu Mingyur Podrang new palace recently completed in the Norbulingka. His murals merged a traditional Tibetan style with a modern one. The innovation he introduced was that his portraits were easily recognisable.

The Choekyi Gyaltsen, 10th Panchen Lama, later asked Amdo Jampa a portrait, which he also realised in realist style.

Amdo Jampa travelled to India in the 1980s. He performed paintings for religious buildings for the Dalai Lama in Dharamshala.

He returned to Lhasa, Tibet. According to Drangchar, a Tibetan magazine, he occupied the official positions of Chairman of the Tibet Fine Arts Association and Chief Research Officer of the Central Executive Committee of the Tibet Autonomous Museum of Cultural Artefacts. He opened an art school in Shol village, before the Potala Palace.

Amdo Jampa's paintings spread in Tibet and influenced Tibetan contemporary painting. 
Hence, before 1996 when the Chinese ban on Dalai Lama pictures, many monasteries had such a picture in the style of Amdo Jampa's famous painting of the Dalai Lama.

According to Gonkar Gyatso, a Tibetan artist from Lhasa now in the UK, Amdo Jampa is the most important Tibetan modern artist. He was trained in the 1950s at thangka painting and he was the only one to perform original works different from traditional painting and had the support of the 14th Dalai Lama for his creative work. His paintings were partly influenced by painters such as Vittore Carpaccio.

For Jamyang Norbu, Amdo Jampa was influenced by Gendun Choephel who travelled in India and knew Indian Buddhist and Hindu art as well as European art, as seen in his nudes and dancers. Like other Tibetan artists, Amdo Jampa did not produce anything during the Cultural Revolution years.

Even at an old age, Amdo Jampa walked every day around Lhasa, performing a kora. He was survived by his wife, 2 daughters and 2 sons.

James R. French is a prominent U.S. aerospace engineer. While working for different NASA contractors during the 1960s, he helped design, develop and test the rocket engines for the Apollo/Saturn launch vehicles and the Apollo Lunar Module that enabled humans to walk on the Moon. He then joined NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) where he worked on the Mariner, Viking, and Voyager missions.

French is a long-time advocate of a mission architecture for a Mars probe, known as Mars Sample Return with In-Situ Propellant Production, that would manufacture propellant from resources at the target planet to power a return trip, to dramatically reduce the size of the outbound vessel and the cost of the mission. He also published an article in the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society in 1989, recommending in-situ propellant production for a crewed Mars mission, though he recommended that the technique would not be feasible until a Mars base was already well-established, due to the risks of relying on fueling a spacecraft with in-situ produced propellant. Robert Zubrin credits this paper as a forerunner of the Mars Direct mission architecture, in which French's concern is resolved by devoting a separate spacecraft to the return trip, so that it can be verified as fueled and ready to launch from Mars before the crew launches from Earth.

French now works as a private space systems engineering consultant, and is a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). He has co-authored the book Space Vehicle Design () with Michael Griffin, who was the chief of NASA until January 20, 2009.

French is currently a director and engineering chief for the Golden Spike Company, which is planning commercial missions to the moon.

The Addizione Erculea or Erculean Addition is the area of urban expansion created in 1492 by the enlargement of the walled city limits of Ferrara, Italy. It is celebrated as an example of Renaissance urban planning.

The walled medieval city of Ferrara was geographically limited from southward expansion by a branch of the delta of the Po river. In 1450, the prior Duke, Borso d'Este (1450) had enlarged slightly the city southward with reclaimed land from the river banks.

However, Ercole d'Este had suffered from attacks and sieges from Venice to the north and the Papal states to the South. In 1492, in order to accommodate the burgeoning city and create a more daunting city-fortress to withstand sieges, Ercole d'Este commissioned plans from the architect Biagio Rossetti for an urban expansion north of the city. The walls at this border coincided with the north flank of the Castello Estense. These walls were razed and the moat, present Corso Giovecca, was filled in.  Unlike the dense haphazard tracks of the medieval center, the Addizione created a main east-west road (analogous to a Decumanus Maximus) represented now by Corso Porta Po, Biagio Rosetti, and Porta Mare; and north-south street (analogous to a Cardo Maximus) represented by the now Corso Ercole I d'Este parting from the Castello.

The Addizione more than doubled the size of the walled town and included areas for cultivation and private parks (now encompassed by the Cemetery of the Certosa and the Jewish cemetery). Among the buildings erected over the next decades and centuries in this sector were the Palazzina di Marfisa d'Este, the church of Santa Chiara, Palazzo Roverella; the Palazzo Prosperi-Sacrati; the church of Teatini; the church of San Carlo, and the 17th century Teatro Comunale.

The walls of Ferrara once spanned 13 kilometers, some 9 kilometers still stand, mainly to the north and east of the city. The Porta degli Angeli was an original Northern entrance to the Addizione Erculea.

Ambroli Church is a Church of North India church in Girgaum, Mumbai that was established in 1831 by the Scottish missionary John Wilson. The unusual name derives from Ambroli House, the name of Wilson's home where the church first gathered which was nearly opposite the current church building. It is believed Ambroli refers to the  Gujarati hometown of the migrants who settled in Mumbai, but it is not clear if that place is Amroli. Wilson's educational mission was planned at this site, which led to the founding of Wilson College and Wilson High School. The church covenant was made on the 4th of February 1831, and the first service was  held in Wilson's home on the 6th. Services were conducted in three languages: Hindustani, Marathi and English.

The first members of the church included the Scottish missionary couple John and Margaret Wilson, three Brahman men from the Konkan, one Wani merchant, one Vaishya journalist, one Maratha woman from Bombay, one African sailor, and one "Indo-Portuguese" man from the Konkan who was a former Roman Catholic priest. 

The church's first pastors included John Wilson (1831–1870), Dhanjibhai Nauroji (1870–1884, 1894–1900), and Madhavrao B. Nikambe (1884–1894, 1900–1918).

The present-day building was constructed in 1869. The congregation denominationally belongs to the Church of North India (CNI).

The 3-inch anti-aircraft gun M3 was an American anti-aircraft gun which served throughout the 1930s and possibly into early World War II.  Developed from the earlier 3-inch M1917 and 3-inch M1918 guns, 
it was in the process of being replaced by the time of the US entry into World War II, but was subsequently adapted into an anti-tank gun role, both free-standing (as the 3-inch M5) and in a self-propelled tank destroyer (the M10). It may have seen action in the Pacific Theatre.

History
During the late 1920s, M1917 and M1918 guns were fitted with removable barrel liners and re-designated as 3-inch M1, M2, or M3 guns, depending on the variant they were upgraded from.  The most numerous variant was the M3 which was introduced in 1928 and consisted of a new barrel with a removable autofretted liner.  During the 1930s further upgrades were proposed but these were abandoned with the adoption of the 90 mm gun M1 in 1938.

Design
The M3 consisted of a  barrel 50 calibers in length, which had a removable liner and a semi-automatic vertical sliding-wedge breech.  The barrel had a hydro-pneumatic recoil system and when fired the breech ejected the shell casing and remained open until a new round was loaded.  The M2A2 cruciform carriage had a circular center section and four perforated steel outriggers for stability.  For transport, the outriggers folded and a two-wheeled, single axle bogie could be screwed onto the outriggers at each end.  The carriage had pneumatic tires, electric brakes and was capable of being towed at high speeds.  The gun was provided with a set of equilibrators and was capable of both high angle fire +80° and 360° of traverse.

Anti-tank gun
In September 1940 a project started to adapt the 3-inch gun to the anti-tank role, starting with the T9 experimental model but equipping it with the breech, recoil system and carriage borrowed from the 105mm M2 howitzer. The gun was accepted for service as the 3-inch M5.

A similar derivative of the T9 – the 3-inch M6 – was intended to be mounted on the M5 self-propelled gun, which was eventually abandoned. A final adaptation was the 3-inch M7, which included minor modifications for mounting on the M6 heavy tank and M10 tank destroyer. The M7 saw wide use although it was supplanted to some extent by more powerful weapons such as the 90mm M3 and the British QF 17 pounder. A total of 6,824 M7 guns were manufactured.

Ammunition
The M3 fired a Fixed QF 76.2 × 585R round and a number of different styles of ammunition were available:

 Armor-piercing
 Armor-piercing capped
 High explosive
