GSR Classes 372 and 393. The Great Southern Railways Classes 372 and 393 were types of 2-6-0 ("mogul") steam locomotives exported to Ireland from Great Britain in 1924. They were designed by Richard Maunsell in 1914 for the South Eastern and Chatham Railway (SECR) to be members of the SECR N class of mixed-traffic engines. The GSR 372 and 393 classes were part of a batch of N and U class locomotive kits produced under a UK Government contract at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich.

Introduction and service with MGWR and GSR
The Midland Great Western Railway bought 12 kits which were then assembled at its Broadstone works in Dublin. The first entered service as MGWR number 49 but the company then became part of the new Great Southern Railways and the locomotive was renumbered 375 and the remaining 11 kits were completed as GSR engines. The final one of the batch, number 383, was the last locomotive completed at Broadstone. The GSR designated them Class 372 or Class K1.

The GSR bought a further 15 kits. It assembled 14 of them between 1927 and 1930 at the Inchicore Works of the former Great Southern and Western Railway and kept the last for spares. The first eight were class 372 like their predecessors, but the last six were given larger driving wheels and designated class 393 or Class K1a. The GSR numbered the 372 class 372–391 and the 393 Class 393–398. The number 392 was left vacant.

The majority of the class were employed on the GSR's Midland section. A few others were used on the Dublin Kingsbridge to Cork Glanmire Road main line and on services between Dublin and  via .

Service and withdrawal with CIÉ
Córas Iompair Éireann succeeded the GSR in 1945 (and was nationalised in 1950), retaining the same classification system and numbering for its locomotives. In 1954 CIÉ withdrew four of the 1924 327s, but in the winter of 1954–55 CIÉ overhauled another seven of the class for further service.

In the 1950s CIÉ continued to operate freight trains without continuous brake. On 21 December 1955, number 375 was in charge of such an unfitted train consisting of 32 wagons laden with sugar beet. The train was on the line between Waterford and  on CIÉ's Southern section when it ran away descending the gradient to . The signalman diverted the runaway train into a siding to protect a mail train that was standing in the station. 375 smashed through the buffer stop at the end of the siding and onto the viaduct over the River Suir beyond the station, demolishing the first span of the viaduct. The locomotive and 22 of the wagons plunged into the river, killing the driver and fireman. 375 was recovered from the river but considered beyond economic repair and scrapped.

CIÉ withdrew the Class 393 and remaining Class 372 by 1965.

I-Gami. i-Gami is a toy in which small plastic pieces can be bent and snapped together to form small to large three-dimensional figures. It began production in 2006 by Plastic Play Inc. before being acquired by PlaSmart Inc.

History
i-Gami is a toy product created by Boaz Axelrad, a Canadian. The toy takes inspiration from Japanese origami. Unlike origami, however, i-Gami is made from small pieces of plastic that can be bent and snapped together to form various figures, either in two- or three-dimensional form. Additionally, pieces can be disassembled and/or reused. Figures can be built either by following an instruction booklet which comes with each set, or by creating custom designs imagined by the creator.

i-Gami began production in 2006 by Plastic Play Inc., a company located in Oshawa before being acquired by Ottawa-based PlaSmart (best known for its success with the PlasmaCar) in 2009. PlaSmart had previously been the exclusive US distributor of the product since 2007. The company now owns all intellectual property rights to and manufacturing assets for the product line.

Currently, i-Gami is sold in box sets, ranging from beginner (54 pieces) to advanced (600 pieces).

Reception
i-Gami has been generally well received by consumers. Consumers appreciate the fact that i-Gami promotes spatial learning, and also introduces the concept of counter pressure to young children. It has received multiple awards (see Awards section) since its entrance into the market.

2-Methylpentane. 2-Methylpentane, trivially known as isohexane, is a branched-chain alkane with the molecular formula C6H14. It is a structural isomer of hexane composed of a methyl group bonded to the second carbon atom in a pentane chain.

As of early 1990s, it was present in American and European gasoline in small amounts, and by 2011 its share in US gas varied between 2 and 8%. Using a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) prediction model, 2-Methylpentane has a research octane number (RON) of 75, motor octane number (MON) of 77, and cetane number (CN) of 29.

TI calculator character sets. In computing, a character set is a system of assigning numbers to characters so that text can be represented as a list of numbers (which are then stored, for example, as a file). For example, ASCII assigns the hexidecimal number 41, or 65 in base 10, to "A". As part of the design process, Texas Instruments (TI) decided to modify the base Latin-1 character set for use with its calculator interface. By adding symbols to the character set, it was possible to reduce design complexity as much more complex parsing would have to have been used otherwise.

TI-83 Plus/84 Plus Series 
Code points 0xDF to 0xF0 differ between the small font and large font.

Large font

TI-86 
The TI-86 character encoding aligns with the ASCII printable characters, but includes its own characters in place of the C0 control codes and 0x7F, as well as defining its own characters in the 0x80 to 0xFF range (which is not part of ASCII).

TI-89/92 Series 
The TI-89/92 Series calculators use a character encoding similar to Latin-1, except that most of the control characters are replaced with mathematical symbols or Greek letters. All characters are printable except the null character.

489 series. The  was a limited express electric multiple unit (EMU) train type introduced in March 1972 by Japanese National Railways (JNR) in Japan, and later operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) and West Japan Railway Company (JR-West) until 2012.

Operations
The 489 series trains were developed from the earlier 485 series specially for use on the Hakusan and Asama limited express services operating over the steeply graded Usui Pass (Yokokawa Station - Karuizawa Station of old JNR Shinetsu Main Line). They were designed to operate in multiple with the JNR Class EF63 electric banking locomotives.

Formations
The nine-car sets operated by JR-West and based at Kanazawa depot for use on Noto and Hakutaka services were formed as shown below.

Cars 2, 5, and 7 were each fitted with two lozenge-type pantographs.

History
Following the end of regular Noto express services in March 2010, the three remaining JR-West 489 series sets based at Kanazawa depot lost their regular duties, and two sets were withdrawn in June and August of the same year.

The remaining set, H01, was used on a special "Arigato" ("Thankyou") run between Osaka and Kanazawa on 26 and 27 March 2011, after which it was stored at Kanazawa depot.

Set H01 was officially withdrawn on 1 June 2012.
