Bugoloobi Wastewater Treatment Plant. Bugoloobi Wastewater Treatment Plant (BWTP), also Bugoloobi Sewerage Treatment Plant (BSTP), is a wastewater treatment project in Uganda. It is the largest wastewater treatment plant in the countries of the East African Community, and capable of processing  of wastewater daily.

Location
The water treatment facility was constructed in the neighborhood of Bugoloobi, in Nakawa Division, in the south-eastern section of Kampala, the capital and largest city of Uganda. This is approximately , by road, southeast of the central business district of the city. The geographical coordinates of the plant are 0°19'06.0"N, 32°36'27.0"E (Latitude:0.318333; Longitude:32.607500).

Overview
The Bugoloobi WTP, collects wastewater and sewerage from parts of the city, including Old Kampala, Mengo, Katwe, Nsambya, Kibuli, Mbuya, Nakawa, Naguru, Bukoto and Kamwookya. The new expanded STP is aimed at increasing and improving sanitation services in the city and reducing the pollution of the Nakivubo Channel, a surface-water effluent into Lake Victoria, thereby increasing the lake's environmental sustainability.

The project involves the construction of an ultra-modern sewerage treatment plant in Bugoloobi, a sewerage pre-treatment plant in Kinawattaka, a sewerage pumping station on Kibira Road and a sewer network measuring . New areas to be added to the sewerage network include Bugoloobi, Kyambogo, Kasokoso, Kinnawattaka, Banda,  Butabika and neighbouring areas.

The bio-digesters in this plant, are expected to generate gases, which will be heated to generate  of electricity, to be used internally in the plant.  In addition, the solid wastes removed from the wastewater, are expected to be dried and sold as fertilizer, or as raw material for the manufacture of cooking briquettes.

Ownership
The water treatment facility is wholly owned by the National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC), a government parastatal company, responsible for provision of potable water and sewerage services nationwide.

Construction
Construction began in May 2014, and concluded in 2021. NWSC plans to construct new sewerage treatment plants in Nalukolongo, between Ndeeba and Nateete, along the Kampala–Masaka Road and in Kajjansi, in addition the one in Lubigi, completed in 2014.

Fox-1D. Fox-1D, AO-92 or AMSAT OSCAR 92 was an American amateur radio satellite. Fox-1D was a 1U CubeSat developed and built by AMSAT-NA. Fox-1D carried a single-channel transponder for mode U/V in FM. Fox-1D had an L-band converter (the AMSAT L-band downshifter experiment), which allowed the FM transponder to be switched on an uplink in the  band.

To enable it to launch under NASA's ELaNa (Educational Launch of Nanosatellites) program, the satellite continued to carry the following scientific and technical payloads:

 High Energy Radiation CubeSat (HERCI);
 Camera Experiment;
 MEMS GYRO Experiment.

The satellite had a single whip antenna for the 70 cm and 23 cm bands (uplink), as well as an antenna for the 2 m band (downlink).

Mission
The satellite was launched on 12 January 2018 at 03:59 UTC with a PSLV XL rocket, along with the main payloads Cartosat-2F, NovaSAR-S, and 31 other small satellites from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, India. At 05:17 UTC, the antennas were deployed over the North Pole and the satellite began to work. At 05:28 UTC the first telemetry was received and commissioning occurred over approximately two weeks.

By 2021, Fox-1D had experienced battery degradation and became rarely operational, occasionally being turned on and then defaulting into "Safe Mode" at the next eclipse.  The satellite re-entered Earth's atmosphere on 3 February 2024.

Fox-1B. Fox-1B, AO-91 or AMSAT OSCAR 91  is a United States amateur radio satellite. It is a 1U Cubesat, was built by the AMSAT-NA and carries a single-channel transponder for FM radio. The satellite has a whip antenna for the 70 cm and 23 cm bands (uplink), and a second antenna for the 2 m band (downlink). Fox-1B is the second amateur radio satellite of the Fox series of AMSAT North America.

To facilitate a satellite launch as part of NASA's Educational Launch of Nanosatellites (ELaNa) program, the satellite carries a student experiment conducted by Vanderbilt University's Institute for Space and Defense Electronics. The RadFx experiment at this institute hosts four payloads for the study of radiation effects on commercially available electronic components. So it should be tested electronic components "off the shelf" under space conditions. The payload of AMSAT North America is a single-channel FM converter from Ultra high frequency (UHF) to Very high frequency (VHF). After successful launch, the satellite was assigned the OSCAR number 91.

Mission 
The satellite was launched on 18 November 2017, with a Delta II launch vehicle, along with the main payload Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) NOAA-20 and 4 other Cubesat satellites (MiRaTA, Buccaneer RMM, EagleSat and MakerSat 0) from Vandenberg Air Force Base. After only a few hours, telemetry was received and the transponder put into operation.

TLBleed. TLBleed is a cryptographic side-channel attack that uses machine learning to exploit a timing side-channel via the translation look-aside buffer (TLB) on modern microprocessors that use simultaneous multithreading. , the attack has only been demonstrated experimentally on Intel processors; it is speculated that other processors may also potentially be vulnerable to a variant of the attack, but no proof of concept has been demonstrated. AMD had indicated that their processors would not be vulnerable to this attack.

The attack led to the OpenBSD project disabling simultaneous multithreading on Intel microprocessors. The OpenBSD project leader Theo de Raadt has stated that, while the attack could theoretically be addressed by preventing tasks with different security contexts from sharing physical cores, such a fix is currently impractical because of the complexity of the problem.

Bedford MW. The Bedford MW was a general service truck used by the British Armed Forces during the Second World War.

Design
The Bedford MW was a 15 cwt (760 kg) 4x2 truck, powered by a Bedford  six-cylinder inline  petrol engine through a four speed transmission.

Despite lacking four wheel drive and so being unsuited for off-road use, the MW's powerful engine, short wheel base, low centre of gravity and relatively light weight gave it excellent acceleration and almost sports car like handling.

The early MWs were open cabbed with a folding windscreen and a collapsible canvas tilt, from 1943 an enclosed cab with doors and perspex side screens was added, retaining the canvas top. The vehicle had a distinctive wide bonnet, necessitated by the need to accommodate a special extra large air filter that was never fitted to production vehicles.

History
In 1935 the War Office issued specifications for a new 15 cwt 4x2 military truck for service with the British Army, inviting manufacturers to submit designs to take part in annual comparative trials in north Wales, one entrant was a modification of a Bedford Vehicles 2-ton rear wheel drive lorry. Following these trials Bedford fitted a larger radiator and larger tyres, the trials were repeated in 1936 after which Bedford modified the chassis to increase ground clearance and installed a new engine cooling system. For the 1937 trials a new special Bedford WD-1 prototype was produced with a 15 cwt payload, it performed admirably and in 1938 the eventual  engine was installed.

Between 1939 and 1945 Bedford produced over 66,000 MWs, the vehicles remained in British service until the late 1950s.

Use
The MW was intended mainly to be a workhorse for the British Army's infantry battalions, but throughout the war it was adapted to a number of roles and was eventually also used by the Royal Air Force, Royal Navy, other government departments and some overseas customers.

Variants
The Bedford MW was built in multiple variants including:
 Bedford MWD cargo truck with General Service body approx . Main transport of an infantry battalion.
 Bedford MWC water tank truck
 Bedford MWT anti-aircraft gun tractor
Bedford MWG QF 2-pounder or 20mm Oerlikon portee
Bedford MWR radio truck
 Bedford MWV Royal Air Force signals van
