2000 McGill College. The IA Tower (Industriel Alliance Tower or Tour Industrielle Alliance), originally called Industrial Life Tower, is a 23 stories high rise building located in downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada.  Inaugurated in 1986, it was one of the first postmodernist high rises built in downtown Montreal.

History 

The IA Tower was the result of a joint venture between the then Industrial Life Insurance Company and First Québec Corporation. Built on McGill College Avenue, the tower was designed  to be a premium grade-A office building

The original tenants included Industrial Life, Dominion Securities Pitfield, Ernst and Whinney, Quantum group and Rolland Inc. Following the 1987 merger between Industrial Life Insurance and Alliance Nationale, the tower was renamed with the Industrielle Alliance name.

Located between Boulevard De Maisonneuve Ouest and Avenue du Président-Kennedy, the IA Tower is ornamented by city furnitures and the public artwork Le banc des secrets by Lea Vivot.

Architecture 
Designed by the Montreal firm  Tolchinsky and Goodz, the IA Tower is made of Quebec polished granite. The building is larger at the last three floors and is designed to provide a maximum view of the Mont-Royal. Due to its conception, every floor apart from the three top floors has eight corner offices.

Merope (supercomputer). Merope was a cluster composed of repurposed Intel Xeon X5670 (Westmere) processors that were once part of the Pleiades supercomputer. The system is used both for running real-world computational jobs for NASA scientists and engineers and for testing purposes. Housed in an auxiliary processing center located about 1 kilometer from the NAS facility at NASA Ames Research Center.

Merope (pronounced MEH-reh-pee) is named after one of the seven stars that make up the Pleiades open star cluster in the constellation Taurus.

Laurie Butler. Laurie Jeanne Butler (born 1959) is an American physical chemist known for her experimental work testing the Born–Oppenheimer approximation on separability of nuclear and electron motions.  She is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and a professor emeritus of chemistry at the University of Chicago.

Education and career
Butler's parents were both medical professionals. She is the identical twin sister of Lynne Butler, now a professor of mathematics at Haverford College; they were the youngest of six siblings, and grew up in Garden City, New York. After Butler's father had a stroke, the family moved to St. Petersburg, Florida, where Butler went to high school.

She started her undergraduate education at Johns Hopkins University, intending to study molecular biology or neuroscience. After discovering the large number of animal sacrifices needed for experiments in those areas, she shifted her interests to chemistry, and after a year she transferred to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She completed her bachelor's degree at MIT in 1981.

She went to the University of California, Berkeley for her doctoral studies, working there with Yuan T. Lee on photodissociation. After completing her Ph.D. in 1985, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Wisconsin before joining the University of Chicago faculty in 1987.

Recognition
Butler won a Sloan Research Fellowship in 1992 and she won the Llewellyn John and Harriet Manchester Quantrell Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching at The University of Chicago  in 1993. She was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2002.
In 2011 she became a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science "for distinguished contributions to the field of physical chemistry, particularly for elegant experimental studies of chemical reaction dynamics of radical and molecular species", and in the same year she also became a Fellow of the American Chemical Society. In 2018 she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Personal life
Butler's husband Michael Stein is the Ralph and Mary Otis Isham Professor in Statistics at the University of Chicago. They have one daughter.

Textbook
Butler is a co-author of the 8th edition of the textbook Principles of Modern Chemistry (Cengage, 2016) with David W. Oxtoby and H. P. Gillis.

Sanyo 3000 series. The  is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Sanyo Electric Railway in Japan since 1964. The 3000 series also includes the , and the .

Formation
The trains are formed as three-car and four-car sets.

Technical specifications
The trains have aluminium and steel car bodies. Steel-bodied trains had a cream and blue two-tone livery, and now carry an ivory livery with a black and red stripe. Most cars with aluminium bodies were unpainted with a red stripe. Aluminium cars which ran together with steel-bodied cars carried a livery.

History
The trains entered service in 1964, and were the recipient of the 1965 Laurel Prize. 133 cars were built until 1985. They are being gradually replaced by 6000 series trains.

A special "Sayonara No. 3000" event was held for the withdrawal of set 3000 on November 23, 2017. The set, consisting of cars 3000, 3001 and 3600, entered service in 1965, and was withdrawn from regular service on November 22, followed by special runs on November 23, 2017. During its 53 years in service it ran a distance of about 6.42 million kilometers. Cars 3001 and 3600 were removed from Higashi-Futami depot for scrapping in March 2018.

Set 3030 was repainted into its original two-tone livery in 2019. It is scheduled to carry this livery until its planned withdrawal from service in 2021.

E. E. Fresson. Captain Ernest Edmund "Ted" Fresson,   (20 September 1891 – 25 September 1963) was a British engineer and aviation pioneer.

Life
Fresson was sent by his company to China in 1911, but returned to the UK to serve in the Royal Flying Corps during the First World War, undergoing flying training in Canada in 1918. On 12 January 1918, he was commissioned in the Royal Flying Corps of the British Army as a temporary second lieutenant (on probation). His commission and rank were confirmed on 29 September 1918. He was transferred to the unemployed list on 27 June 1919, thereby ending his military service.

After the war he went back to China where he built, reassembled and designed aircraft for local dignitaries. He returned to the United Kingdom after the 1927 revolution, and started giving joy rides to the public, flying for a company called Berkshire Aviation Tours, touring England and Scotland, flying from any available fields. He was given a commission in the Royal Air Force's Reserve of Air Force Officers as a pilot officer on probation on 17 May 1927. He was promoted to flying officer on 17 November 1927.

In January 1929 with another Berkshire pilot he founded North British Aviation Co Ltd, based at Hooton Park on the Wirral Peninsula, Cheshire. This company performed pleasure flights and air displays in the northwest of England, mainly using Avro 504K aircraft, and was incorporated into Alan Cobham's Flying Circus in 1933. 
He established an airline, Highland Airways, in Scotland in April 1933. He was awarded the first contract for domestic airmail in the UK on 29 May 1934, flying between Aberdeen and Orkney.

During the Second World War, he advised the Air Ministry and Admiralty on where to build its airfields in Scotland: he is credited with building the first tarmac runway built in the UK, at RNAS Hatston, Orkney. His airline was absorbed into the wartime Scottish Airways, and into the nationalised British European Airways Corporation after the war: he continued to work in the airline's management until he was let go in March 1948. In retirement, he continued to fly charter passengers across northern Scotland.

Honours

In the 1943 Birthday Honours, he was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in recognition of his work as Managing Director of Scottish Airways Limited. 

In 2011, a bronze statue of Fresson was unveiled at Sumburgh Airport. A memorial to him stands in front of Kirkwall Airport.

Shade house. A shade house is a horticultural structure which provides a mix of shade and light to provide suitable conditions for shade-loving plants, or to reduce the temperatures under the cover.  Typically it will have a frame which supports mesh fabric or wood lath.

Shade houses may also be used in commercial horticulture.  For example, vanilla vines need 50% shade and, in deforested areas of Mexico, this is provided by shade houses of 1,000 – 10,000 square metres.  These have tree-like support posts or actual living trees.  From these, shade cloth walls of 3–5 metres height are suspended and these are black or red to cut the luminosity by half.
