Serranías de Ig'embe Integrated Management Natural Area. Serranías de Ig'embe Integrated Management Natural Area is a protected area in the Department of Chuquisaca, Luis Calvo Province, Bolivia. It is characterized by the mountainous landscape brought on by the Cordillera Oriental mountain range.
There are 7 communities of the Guaraní people, alongside an additional 7 villages.

Creation 
This protected area was created in 2020 due to the passing of a municipal law (No. 094/2020) by the nearby town of Villa Vaca Guzmán, which converted 122,313 hectares of its forests into protected land. The protection of water sources, protection against illegal settlements, illegal logging and illegal hunting were described as the reasons for the creation in 2020.

Friedrich Sass. Friedrich Sass (6 January 1883 – 26 February 1968) was a German engineer, university professor and historian.

Life and career 

Friedrich Sass was born in Koldenbüttel and attended the Gymnasium (grammar school) in Schleswig. He studied mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Munich, and marine engineering at Technische Universität Berlin. After graduating from TU Berlin, Sass worked as a steam turbine designer at AEG from 1908. During World War I, Sass became the head of AEG's Diesel engine department, where he designed the double-acting piston two-stroke Diesel engine with air-blast-less, direct fuel injection; initially, it was intended for submarine use. In the 1920s, Sass continued his work on direct fuel injection systems; he was the first engineer to study the relation between the diameter of a fuel spray at the point of injection, and its cylinder intrusion. In 1940, Sass stopped working for AEG.

From 1927, Sass had been an untenured professor at TU Berlin, where he gave a lecture on direct-injected Diesel engines. In 1946, he became a tenured professor for Diesel engine design; on 31 March 1953, he was given emeritus status. From 1935 until 1952, Sass was a member of Germanischer Lloyd's board of directors.

On 2 April 1935, Sass obtained a patent on "Regulation means for internal combustion engines with injection without air and variable speed"  that he had filed on 28 August 1929;
 it has four claims.

In 1949, Friedrich Sass founded the scientific journal “Konstruktion”, of which he had been the editor until 1963. In 1962, Springer published Sass's work “Geschichte des deutschen Verbrennungsmotorenbaus von 1860 bis 1918”, which is considered the most important scientific work on the history of the internal combustion engine.

Funicular de Santiago. The Funicular de Santiago is a funicular railway on a slope of the San Cristóbal Hill, in the city of Santiago de Chile. It forms part of the tourist attractions of the Santiago Metropolitan Park.

History 
The idea of a funicular originated when the Cerro San Cristóbal began to be taken for public use in the 1910s, project that was finally commissioned to the Italian engineer Ernesto Bosso in 1922. The foundation stone of the funicular was laid on 24 November 1923, and its construction was completed and inaugurated on  by the then President of Chile Arturo Alessandri. The station located at the feet of the hill was designed by architect Luciano Kulczewski, while the strength of steel wire ropes was tested by engineer Jorge Alessandri, who later went on to become president of Chile (1958–1964).

Between July 11 and August 11, 1949 the service was suspended for repairs and maintenance. From 10 to 13 and from 17 to 20 July 1950, the funicular was closed to undergo repair works. In those years full fares ranged between $3.6 and $7.4, and the student fare was $2.

In 1968, the original wooden car roofs were replaced with canvas tops supported by metal frames. Pope John Paul II traveled in the funicular of Santiago during his only visit to Chile in 1987. The funicular was declared as a National Monument of Chile on  November 16, 2000.

In January 1998, the only serious accident occurred, when a car ascending to the Cumbre station —which carried six park employees— crashed against the hill due to a late brake activation. An employee lost his left arm and the front of the car involved was destroyed.

The funicular is  long and consists of three stations: "Pío Nono" (at the base of the hill), "Zoo" and "Cumbre", where the Santuario a la Virgen is located and where there is a connection with the Santiago Cable Car.

Sound Material-Cycle Society. Sound Material-Cycle Society is the term used in Japan to represent a similar concept of circular economy, especially since 2000 when Japan enforced Basic Act on Establishing a Sound Material-Cycle Society.

Outline 
In Japan, a similar concept of circular economy discussed mainly in 1990s. According to Hashimoto et al., various concepts were advocated. Some advocators addressed material cycles in an economic society only, some addressed to natural cycles as well , and some paid attention to virtuous cycles of the environment and economy, and cycles of relationships and lives. 

In 2000, the Basic Act was established. Since then, disputes over the concept and definition of sound material-cycle society have been fewer. 

The Ministry of the Environment, Japan publishes a white paper on the Sound Material-Cycle Society to report recent progresses toward the Sound Material-Cycle Society annually. English version are available for before 2010. The Japanese government has put forward Fundamental Plans since 2003 every five years or so in accordance with Article 15 of the Basic Act. The first plan set numerical targets of three national material flows, including resource productivity. The latest fourth plan was published in 2018 to advance the Japan's policy and actions further. Industry sectors are also attempting their actions toward the Sound Material-Cycle Society. The Japan Business Federation (known as "Keidanren" in Japanese), is the most well-known business federation in Japan, put forward their voluntary action plan for several years.

Legal definition 
Article 2 of the Basic Act define "Sound Material-Cycle Society" as a society in which the consumption of natural resources will be conserved and the environmental load will be reduced to the greatest extent possible, by preventing or reducing the generation of wastes, etc. from products, etc. , by promoting proper cyclical use of products, etc. when these products, etc. have become circulative resources, and by ensuring proper disposal of circulative resources not put into cyclical use (i.e., disposal as wastes).

Ericson 23-1. The Ericson 23-1 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Bruce King as a cruiser and first built in 1969.

The design was originally marketed by the manufacturer as the Ericson 23, but is now usually referred to as the Ericson 23-1 to differentiate it from the unrelated 1975 Ericson 23-2 design.

Production
The design was built by Ericson Yachts in the United States from 1969 until 1971, with 140 boats completed, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Ericson 23-1 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, a plumb transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces  and carries  of lead ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard keel.

The boat is normally fitted with a small  outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee quarter berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. Cabin headroom is .

The design has a PHRF racing  handicap of 222 to 267, with an average of 252. It has a hull speed of .

Operational history
In a 2007 review in Sailing Magazine, John Kretschmer wrote, "although the boat was designed to be trailerable, this was before the advent of the SUV and it was never intended to be hauled behind the family station wagon and dragged up to the lake for weekend outings. It is a real boat masquerading as a trailersailer and most 23s remained happily afloat all season. It is nice, however, to have the option of leaving the boat on a trailer during the off-season, saving ever-increasing yard storage fees. And should you get transferred, downsized, outsourced or just plain sick of sailing in the same place, you can hitch the trailer to a husky vehicle and head to sunnier climes ... The Ericson 23 is an especially handsome boat that is easy and rewarding to sail. It is inexpensive to purchase and maintain. It's a perfect starter boat and as your skills develop it can be raced with some success."
