Tidal stream generator
A tidal stream generator, often referred to as a tidal energy converter (TEC), is a machine that extracts energy from moving masses of water, in particular tides, although the term is often used in reference to machines designed to extract energy from the run of a river or tidal estuarine sites. Certain types of these machines function very much like underwater wind turbines and are thus often referred to as tidal turbines. They were first conceived in the 1970s during the oil crisis.

Tidal stream generators are the cheapest and least ecologically damaging among the four main forms of tidal power generation.

HydroQuest

2014 Mark-1 Plumbing truck incident
The 2014 Mark-1 Plumbing truck incident occurred in December 2014 when a viral photograph circulated online showing a black Ford F-250 pickup truck fitted with an anti-aircraft gun being used by militants fighting in the Syrian civil war, while still bearing the name and phone number of Mark-1 Plumbing, a small business located in Texas City, Texas, United States. The image prompted thousands of calls, media attention, and threats directed at the plumbing company, and later led owner Mark Oberholtzer and Mark-1 Plumbing, Inc. to sue a Houston car dealership in 2015; the case was settled in 2017.

The truck was reportedly used by members of the jihadist group Ansar al-Deen Front, and the first published photo showed a militant firing a Soviet-made anti-aircraft gun from the vehicle's bed near Aleppo.

North Carolina State Treasurer
The North Carolina State Treasurer is a statewide elected office in the U.S. state of North Carolina responsible for overseeing the financial operations of state government. The current state treasurer is Brad Briner.

The office of state treasurer has existed since 1715 in the Province of North Carolina; at that time, the treasurer was appointed by the lower house of the legislature. In 1740, the treasurer's office was divided into two districts, and in 1779, into four. In 1784, the North Carolina General Assembly brought the treasurers under one single office, appointed jointly by both houses of the legislature.

Under the North Carolina Constitution of 1868, the treasurer became a position elected by popular vote, rather than appointed.

The North Carolina State Treasurer is an ex officio member of the North Carolina State Board of Education, the State Board of Community Colleges, the State Banking Commission, and the Council of State.
Los Angeles Avenues
34°05′N 118°12′W﻿ / ﻿34.083°N 118.200°W﻿ / 34.083; -118.200The Los Angeles Avenues refer to a series of 52 numbered streets in Los Angeles, California in the Northeast and Eastside regions.  They are all designated with the word "Avenue" followed by a number such as "Avenue 64."   The Avenues are located in the Los Angeles neighborhoods of Lincoln Heights, Cypress Park, Montecito Heights, Glassell Park, Highland Park, Mt. Washington and Eagle Rock. They are not related to 2nd through 13th Avenues west of Arlington Avenue in Jefferson Park and other neighborhoods in South Los Angeles.

Kutsinta
Puto cuchinta or  kutsinta, is a type of steamed rice cake (puto) found throughout the Philippines. It is made from a mixture of tapioca or rice flour, brown sugar, and lye, enhanced with yellow food coloring or annatto extract, and steamed in small ramekins. It bears resemblance to the Burmese mont kywe the and Indonesian and Malaysian kuih kosui.

The cooked cakes are traditionally topped with fresh grated meat from mature coconut. It is consumed year-round as a merienda or snack, and is frequently sold along with puto. Unlike its counterpart, which has a doughy texture, kutsinta has a jelly-like, chewy consistency. It has a very mild sweetness. It may be further sweetened by adding latik (coconut syrup) or a yema (sweet custard) dip.

Yema (candy)
Yema is a sweet custard confectionery from the Philippines. It is made with egg yolks, milk, and sugar.

The name yema is from Spanish for "egg yolk". Like other egg yolk-based Filipino desserts, it is believed that yema originated from early Spanish construction materials. During the Spanish colonization of the Philippines, egg whites mixed with quicklime and eggshells were used as a type of mortar to hold stone walls together. Filipinos reused the discarded egg yolks into various dishes. Among them is yema, which is possibly based on the Spanish pastry Yemas de Santa Teresa.

Modern variations also usually include chopped nuts.

Yema has also evolved into a Filipino custard flavor or Filipino caramel filling for other pastries and sweets like cakes, breads, and bars.

The vast majority of Chechens are Muslims and live in Chechnya, an autonomous republic within the Russian Federation.

The North Caucasus has been invaded numerous times throughout history. Its isolated terrain and the strategic value outsiders have placed on the areas settled by Chechens has contributed much to the Chechen community ethos and helped shape its national character.

Chechen society is largely egalitarian and organized around tribal autonomous local clans, called teips, informally organized into loose confederations called tukkhums.

The 13 km (8.1 mi) section between Piraeus and Agioi Anargyroi, a northern suburb of Athens, has since been removed and replaced by the corresponding section of the upgraded Piraeus–Platy railway. As of 2020, the only sections in operation are the 22.5 km (14.0 mi) section between Agioi Anargyroi and Eleusis, and the 7.3 km (4.5 mi) section between Rio and Patras.
