Albin Marine. Albin  Marine was a Swedish boat builder. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of fiberglass sailboats.

History
In 1899, Lars Albin Larsson  founded Albin Motors in Kristinehamn, building marine engines. In 1956, the managing director Lars Larsson decided to get into the boat business and started Larsson Trade AB to export boats built by Harry Hallberg to the United States of America. In 1964, the company decided to build its own fiberglass boats, first with the Vega 27 in 1965. In 
1971, the company was renamed to Albin Marin. Some of its later sailboats were produced under contract in Taiwan. The company produced sailboats from  length overall, many of which were designed by Swedish designers  and .

In 1973, Albin Marin was sold to Pribo, and in 1982, Albin Marine filed for bankruptcy. The insolvency assets was bought to create Nya Albin Marin, and further boats were produced, later also by other boat builders. In 2008 the company's brand was purchased by an American company and it was used for a line of powerboats.

Puwa River. The Puwa River (or Puwa Khola) is a river in Nepal.
It is a right tributary of the Mai Khola.

Location

The Puwa Khola lies entirely within Ilam District.
A 1994 environmental impact study of the Ilam hydroelectric project found 14 species of fish in the Puwa Khola.

Farming

The Geya Danda Irrigation System uses water from the Puwa Khola to irrigate  in Puwajung, Ilam Municipality-5, Ilam District, just above the river's confluence with the Mai Khola.
The 6.2 MW Puwa Khola hydro electrical project is about  above the irrigation system. 
Access road construction has damaged some of the farmland, and about  of water is diverted to the power station.
The diverted water flows along a  headrace tunnel and then a  penstock pipe to the power station, which discharges it into the left bank of the Mai Khola.
This leaves very little irrigation water in the dry season.

Hydroelectricity

There are four hydroelectric plants along the river.

Center for Near-Earth Object Studies. The Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) is the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's (JPL's) facility for computing asteroid and comet orbits and their probability of Earth impact. CNEOS is located at, and operated by, Caltech in Pasadena, California.

CNEOS computes high-precision orbits for Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). These orbit solutions calculate NEO close approaches to Earth, and produce assessments of NEO impact probabilities over the next century or more.

CNEOS is the home of JPL's Sentry impact monitoring system, which performs analyses of possible future orbits of hazardous asteroids, searching for impact possibilities over the next century. Similarly, its Scout system monitors new potential asteroid discoveries and computes the possible range of future motions. In the event of a potential impact, known as a virtual impactor, the impact time and probability are estimated.

CNEOS also provides the NEO Deflection App, which computes how far a hypothetical asteroid would move if deflected by a known amount at an earlier time.

Liuzhou Rail Transit. Liuzhou Rail Transit () is a monorail metro system currently under construction in Liuzhou, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, China. Currently, Lines 1 and 2 are under construction using monorails manufactured under a JV between Bombardier Transportation and CRRC. It is planned to consist of lines 1, 2, 3 and 4 and suburban lines S1, S2 and S3.

The project construction has been suspended since 2022, and the expected operation start date remains unknown.

History
Construction of a light railroad had started in Liuzhou in 1928. The railroad opened on March 1, 1933, and had two branches (one via Dongda Road to the Liuzhou Brick Factory and another to the garrison of First Division of the National Revolutionary Army) and a total length of 8.3 km. The train used was a small trail that needed manpower to assist. However, the line was shut down in the early 1950s and the track was demolished.

Timeline
 In December 2016, construction of Line 1 started.
 In 2017, the Ministry of Environmental Protection reviewed and approved the "Environmental Impact Report on Liuzhou Urban Rail Transit Network and Construction Planning".
 In June 2017 the construction of Line 2 started.
 In September 2020, testing on Line 1 began.
In November 2020, the Guangxi Cultural Tourism Development Conference was held in Liuzhou. The Liuzhou Rail Transit was one of the eleven observation points of the conference.
In 2022, the project was suspended, the reasoning being the suspension and the new expected opening date remains unknown.

Avonmouth explosion. On 3 December 2020, at about 11:20 GMT, a silo containing biosolids exploded in Avonmouth, Bristol, UK, killing four men, including a 16-year old apprentice, and injuring another person. Avon and Somerset Police declared a major incident, and a doctor and specialist paramedic in critical care from the nearby Great Western Air Ambulance headquarters attended the incident by both their rapid response car and emergency helicopter.

The sewage treatment and food waste site is operated by GENeco, a subsidiary of Wessex Water. Its products include biomethane produced by anaerobic digestion, which is supplied to bus operators, among them Bristol Community Transport who operate one of the MetroBus routes.

Unconfirmed evidence obtained by The Bristol Cable suggests the men were using angle grinders on the top of a silo where methane could have accumulated, without adequate controls to prevent ignition. The official investigation remains in progress as of December 2021.

Kawanishi K-2. The sole Kawanishi K-2 was the first specialized Japanese racing aircraft. The advanced, single-seat low-wing monoplane's first flight was in the late summer of 1921. It had a promisingly high maximum speed but a career limited by numerous minor accidents produced no victories or records.

Design and development
In the early 1920s, the Japanese Imperial Flying Association sponsored flying exhibitions which included competitive racing. Yukichi Goto had piloted the Kawanishi K-1 mailplane at such events and suggested that the company should build a specialized racing aircraft. The K-2 was the result and was advanced for its biplane-dominated times. Like them, the K-2 had a wooden structure and was fabric covered but was a low wing monoplane. As originally designed, the K-2 had an internally braced cantilever wing but Goto suggested the addition of bracing wires. Later these wires were replaced by short, parallel pairs of struts from the upper fuselage longerons to the wing spars. The form of bracing used for the first flight, made in the summer of 1921, is not known but most photographs show it with struts.

The K-2 was powered by a  Hall-Scott L-6 water-cooled, upright straight six engine. The cowling was carefully faired into the fuselage behind it, streamlining in keeping with the rest of the K-2 apart from its radiator and landing gear. The radiator was mounted just above the fuselage near the rear of the engine in a rather rectangular profile enclosure. The pilot's open cockpit was well behind the wing trailing edge. Behind it the lower fuselage was flat-sided and tapering in plan, with a rounded decking topped by a fairing which began as a headrest and deepened rearwards. Near the tail the upper and lower fuselage sides merged to make flat surfaces which stabilized the aircraft in yaw; there was no separate fin. Instead, the narrow balanced rudder was hinged on the extreme fuselage. The K-2's rectangular plan horizontal tail was mounted on top of the main fuselage structure, well forward of the rudder.

Its conventional, fixed landing gear was not faired. The main wheels were on split axles, hinged centrally on the vertex of a transverse V-strut mounted on the lower fuselage longerons. The landing legs and trailing drag struts were also mounted on the lower fuselage.

Operational history

In early tests the K-2 reached a speed of , suggesting a competitive racing future but a series of accidents, some involving propeller damage, prevented an attack on the national speed record. On 11 July 1921 it was unofficially timed at .
