Pan-Car

Pan-Car was a Greek producer of automobiles and light trucks, operating between 1968 and 1994. As was often the case in Greece, its name comes from that of its founder, Panayiotis Caravisopoulos. In 1968 it was one of many Greek companies that produced three-wheeled trucks, using Volkswagen engines. In 1977 it introduced beach buggy models built on Volkswagen chassis, which were produced for several years. In 1992 it introduced a jeep-type automobile, also with Volkswagen mechanicals. The model faced a problem common to such ventures in Greece, i.e., receiving type certification for production. That, and financial problems, forced the company to go out of business in 1994.

Urban and Suburban Transit Association

The Urban and Suburban Transit Association (VEKE) () is a Hungarian non-profit organization, aimed at developing city transport in Hungary.

Organizational structure
VEKE's headquarters are located in Budapest. Besides this main organization there exists two affiliated VEKE Érd-Diósd and Győr organizations. VEKE can only lobby in the cities where they have affiliated organizations. VEKE organizations are open for co-operation with the city governments, but they will always maintain their political neutrality and will always do their work on a non-profit basis.

Workgroups
The members of VEKE participate in one of the two following workgroups:
 The Transport-developer workgroup does research on city transport and recommends means for improving the city's urban and suburban transport.
 The Transportoperation-history workgroup does historical research on the past of urban and suburban transport. They make commemorations, informative campaigns, and want to create a nostalgic depot in the future. In 2004 and 2005 they oversaw a nostalgic bus tour.

VEKE's results so far

 November 1, 2003:  Budapest tram line no. 41 was extended from Móricz Zsigmond körtér to Batthyány tér due to the fact that the reconstruction of körter removed the old turnaround and did not allow line  41 to switch tracks in the new station due to the extensive traffic of the 47, 18, and 118 trams. 
 July 1, 2005: Volánbusz lines to Érd got a new timetable (buses at nights and in weekends)
 July 4, 2005: Budapest bus line 112 was extended 
 September 1, 2005: Reform of the night service in Budapest 
 October 29, 2005: A new tram was introduced on the Budapest no. 52 tram line (TW 6000 trams from Hannover)
 December 3, 2005: Reform of the no. 7 bus family (7, fast 7, 73, 173)
 February 2006: Modifications in the parameter book of BKV (the BKV wanted to dissolve some bus lines)
 Spring 2006: Tram line no. 6's turnaround on Móricz Zsigmond körtér was removed due to noise reasons, and a new tram stop for the no. 6 was built.

VEKE presented some serious plans for further improvements of Budapest's city transport. Maybe the most important is the proposed uniting of the Gödöllő HÉV line and metro line 2. The city government did not totally agree with the plan (because of lack of money and because they think the present system is still working fine), but it still may be built after 2015.

Other plans include the extension of the cog railway of Budapest to Széll Kálmán tér and Normafa and the rebuilding of the tram lines between Thököly road and the Small Boulevard.

In 2020 VEKE proposed that the steel structure of Budapest's Chain Bridge should be rebuilt.

It was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. His second novel, Surface, also set in Northeast India, is about a disillusioned Sikh journalist. It was published in the United States as An Outline of the Republic and was shortlisted for the Hutch Crossword Award in India and long listed for the International Dublin Impac Prize. 

His first non-fiction book, The Beautiful And the Damned: A Portrait of the New India was published in June 2011 by Viking Penguin and by FSG/Faber. The Indian edition of the book had to be published without its first chapter because of a defamation lawsuit by one of the subjects portrayed in the first chapter. 

Deb is one of the few writers of Indian origin to be consistently critical of India's nationalism, its neoliberal development model since the 1990s, as well as of the rise of the Hindu-right political establishment. While his first two novels critique borders, nationalism, and the Indian mainstream's neo-colonial approaches to the north-eastern areas of the country, his nonfiction book was one of the few English-language books published at the time to challenge the view of India as a rising superpower with tremendous economic growth.     

His latest novel The Light at the End of the World was published in 2023 and considered to be a breakthrough in form while also grappling with themes of climate change, authoritarianism, and colonialism. It has been compared in its ambitions and influences to the writings of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Thomas Pynchon, Octavia Butler, Cormac McCarthy, Salman Rushdie, and H.P. Lovecraft.  He has also contributed to The Boston Globe, The Guardian, The Nation, New Statesman, Harper's, the London Review of Books, and The Times Literary Supplement. A contributing editor to the New Republic, he is an associate professor of creative writing at The New School in New York.

Terry Burke

Terence Joseph Burke (born 1 February 1942) is a former member for the seat of Perth in the Western Australian Legislative Assembly. He held the seat between 1968 and 1987. In 1974, with the Labor Party in Opposition, he was a member of the Tonkin shadow ministry. He is the elder brother of former premier Brian Burke and both are sons of former federal shadow cabinet member Tom Burke.

Early life
Burke was born on 	1 February 1942 in Perth, Western Australia. His parents were Tom Burke, an Australian Labor Party politician in the House of Representatives from 1943 to 1955, and Madeline Muirson Orr. Tom Burke had Irish ancestry, and was deeply Catholic. Madeline Orr was of Irish and Scottish ancestry. Terry Burke was the first child out of five: the second child was Anne Burke, the third child was Brian Burke, the fourth child was Frankie Burke, who had down syndrome, and the fifth child was Genevieve Burke. He grew up in the middle-class Perth suburb of Wembley, living in a California bungalow set on a quarter acre block.

Political career
Burke joined the Labor Party in 1958. At the 1968 Western Australian state election, he was elected to the electoral district of Perth in the Legislative Assembly. His brother Brian was elected to the electoral district of Balcatta  in a 1973 by-election.

Following Labor's 1974 election loss, Burke became a member of the Tonkin shadow ministry. He was the shadow chief secretary, shadow minister for conservation and the environment, and shadow minister for fisheries and fauna until April 1977. His brother became the premier of Western Australia after the 1983 state election.

On 18 March 1987, Burke resigned from parliament.

He was later found to be involved in events related to the WA Inc scandal. A royal commission found that Burke had received a $600,000 commission for fundraising campaign donations paid to his brother and the Labor Party during the 1987 federal election.

[The commission was paid for work done for the Party after Burke retired from State Parliament in 1987, and under a proposal put to him by Michael Behan, the then State Secretary of the Labor Party. The proposal, which was endorsed by the Administrative Committee of the Party and formally accepted by Burke on 19 May 1987, specified that Burke was to be paid a 25 percent commission on funds raised for the Party. 
Over the next twelve months Burke raised $2,506,084 for the Party and was paid a total Commission of $626,521, which worked out, after tax to be $391,576. Footnote 8 re source <Information supplied by anonymous sources of Joseph Poprzeczny, former journalist with The Australian, a News Limited newspaper published in Sydney, Western Australia>/ref>

Personal life
Burke is Catholic. He married Luciana Mary Sepich on 12 March 1966 at Sacred Heart Church in Highgate. He has two sons and two daughters.

Reims-Cessna F406 Caravan II

The Reims-Cessna F406 Caravan II is a turboprop twin engine utility aircraft manufactured and designed by Reims Aviation in cooperation with Cessna.

Design and development
The F406 Caravan II is a twin turboprop engined, fourteen-seat low-wing monoplane of conventional aluminium and steel construction. It is a development of the Cessna 404 Titan with two Pratt & Whitney PT6A turboprop engines. The aircraft first flew on 22 September 1983, and was produced by Reims Aviation until the company's 2013 demise. The F406 is aimed at passenger and small cargo transport, and civilian and military surveillance. For extra cargo capacity, a cargo pod can be fitted to the belly of the aircraft.

Though the F406 is more expensive to operate than single-engine aircraft of the same passenger capacity such as the Cessna 208 Caravan, having two engines makes it comply with European regulations regarding commercial operations, which only allow multi-engine aircraft for commercial instrument flight.

In March 2014, Reims Aviation was acquired by Chinese-owned Continental Motors Inc and renamed ASI Aviation, two remaining incomplete airframes were finished in France before a shift to Mobile, Alabama, with new avionics, electrical and hydraulic systems, a new autopilot and an engine choice of current P&WC PT6A-135 or pistons : Continental GTSIO-520 and/or Continental CD-310 diesel. The Type Certificate transferred only had approval to produce spare parts and not the whole aircraft.

Spurius Tarpeius

Spurius Tarpeius is a mythological/historical character. He was the commander of the Roman citadel under King Romulus. His daughter, Tarpeia, betrayed the city to the fathers of the kidnapped Sabine women and asked for everything the Sabine warriors had on their left arms: it is thought Sabine warriors had gold bracelets and rings on their left arms. However, they crushed her with the shields they had on their left arms instead.

Truvelo Combi

Truvelo Combi is a speed camera manufactured by the South African company Truvelo Manufacturers (Pty) Ltd. It was approved in 1999.

Background
The Truvelo camera is usually a front-facing camera (it can also be rear-facing) taking pictures using a flash gun fitted with a magenta filter (the driver is less likely to be dazzled by the flash light). The reflected light provides the film with the correct exposure resulting in a clear picture of the driver committing the offence (considered as incriminating evidence).

Piezo-electric road strips, a known distance apart (1.53 cm from 1 - 3, 2 - 4) are set into the road in front of the camera, and the time between compressions is measured using an impededance converter and two clocks in the camera to give the resulting speed of the vehicle.  The system takes a single photograph (front-facing only, two for rear photography) and uses the time from the clocks to calculate the resulting speed.  The photograph of the offending vehicle will show its front tyres on the three narrowly spaced white lines across the carriageway (known as a Secondary Speed Check Lines), the middle line is 1.8 m from the last sensor, the first and third are 18 cm either side of the middle line = 10%  which are present at all Truvelo installations. This is to identify the offending vehicle when it is travelling alongside a non-offending one.

For front-facing photography there are two sets of Piezo sensors that are linked as 1 - 3 and 2 - 4 in the road for Truvelo camera, both taking independent readings, if the two do not match (±2 mph) the offence is discarded.

Photographic evidence
In the United Kingdom, the single incriminating photograph will not be sent unless the car owner asks for it – a Home Office ruling aimed at avoiding embarrassing situations if a driver is photographed with someone they would prefer not to be seen with. Not all Safety Camera Partnerships will disclose picture evidence. Some will only issue copies of the original photos once a summons for court has been issued, and there is a need to comply with disclosure rules.
