Bryan Bridge. The Bryan Bridge was constructed to carry U.S. Route 20 over the Niobrara River in Cherry County, Nebraska, near Valentine.  It was built in 1932 and is a pin-connected arch bridge that is designated "Most Beautiful Steel Bridge" in its year, out of bridges costing less than $250,000, by the American Institute of Steel Construction.  It is named after then-sitting Nebraska governor Charles W. Bryan.

According to its NRHP nomination, it is significant "in the area of structural engineering on a state level as an excellent and well-preserved example of a pin-connected cantilever arch bridge. It is the only one of its kind in Nebraska."  The NRHP nominator interviewed its designer, Josef Sorkin of the state's Division of Bridge Design, on why he chose this type of design, and reported that he replied "aesthetics, it blended into the surroundings and it was also an economical design for the site." Cantilever arch structures, which have been infrequently used nationwide, were constructed in the mid 1920s to mid 1930s. The cantilever type of truss bridge permitted longer spans and was typically used for spanning major rivers."

National Register designation was given in 1988.  It is also designated as NeHBS #CE00-28. In 1995, the bridge was designated as a State Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the  American Society of Civil Engineers.

U.S. Route 20 now crosses the Niobrara River about  to the north.

Protocol system. A computer-based protocol system is a paradigm providing a set of tools which allow health care providers access to current guidelines which they can apply in practice. Studies have shown that protocols can aid in optimising patient care. There are two types of protocol systems: passive and active.

In a healthcare setting, a protocol, also called a medical guideline, is a set of instructions which describe a process to be followed to investigate a particular set of findings in a patient, or the method which should be followed to control a certain disease.

Protocol systems 
 Passive
Passive protocol systems are a source of information which health care providers have the freedom to choose to consult or not; they are not intrinsically incorporated into the healthcare process. The purpose of a passive protocol system is to give healthcare providers access to information which may remind healthcare providers of steps during patient care which may otherwise be forgotten or changed.

Active
Active protocol systems are specific guidelines for healthcare providers to follow. They are a central way which healthcare is delivered. Examples of active protocol systems include trigger-automated order entry systems and appointment scheduling. Active protocol systems may provide an explanation function which offers background information, definitions, risks, and the rationale that supports specific recommendations.

The Solar Garden. The Solar Garden (, Hagan haSolari) is an idealistic center in Binyamina, Israel, approximately 40 kilometers south of Haifa on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea. The center focuses mainly on solar energy (hence the name) and other alternative sources of energy power. Furthermore, The Solar Garden develops small-scale techniques to preserve the environment, such as a garbage-sorting and a recycling project based on a wide range of reusable materials, the production of compost and aquaponic systems.

The project was initiated by Yaniv Fieldust in January 2011, because of his concern about the state of the environment in Israel and the lack of awareness amongst the Israeli people of this.

The Solar Garden also develops projects in the area of educational guidance to (school)children about topics that have to do with environment-friendly ways of generating sustainable power, growing crops, recycling and the use of organic materials.

The Solar Garden is maintained not only by its founder, but also by many volunteers both from Israel and abroad.

Georg Altmütter. Georg Altmütter (6 October 1787, Vienna – 2 January 1858) was an Austrian technologist.

He was a student at the Universities of Vienna and Prague, afterwards serving as an assistant of physics at the Theresianum in Vienna. From 1816 until his death he was a professor of mechanical technology at the Polytechnic Institute in Vienna.

Altmütter is remembered for his technical innovations and inventions, such as improvements for the fabrication of playing cards, a casting process for pinheads, production of terrestrial and celestial globes, and development of new tools, to name a few. His extensive tool collection is now housed at the Technical Museum in Vienna.

Since 1892, the Altmüttergasse in the Alsergrund district of Vienna has been named in his honor. Altmütter was a good friend of playwright Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872).

Writings 
His earlier scientific papers (from 1819) were published in the Annals of the Imperial and Royal Polytechnic Institute, and from 1830, his articles were included in Johann Joseph von Prechtl's Technologische Encyklopädie. Among his principal works is the following:
 Beschreibung der Werkzeug-Sammlung des k.k. polytechnischen Institutes: nebst einem vollständigen Verzeichnisse der in derselben enthaltenen Stücke : für Gewerbsleute und Liebhaber der mechanischen Künste ; vorzüglich aber zum Gebrauche seiner Vorlesungen, 1825 -  Description of the tool collection of the Imperial Polytechnic Institute, etc.

Ideonella. Ideonella is a genus of bacteria in the family Comamonadaceae.

Applications

Ideonella sakaiensis

In 2016 I. sakaiensis was shown to degrade PET, a polymer widely used in food containers, bottles and synthetic fibers. Adhered to a low-grade PET film, the bacteria used two novel enzymes, PETase and MHETase, to decompose the plastic into two environmentally benign substances, which served as their main food source.

A colony of I. sakaiensis could completely degrade a low-grade plastic water bottle in six weeks. Higher-grade PET products would require heating and cooling to weaken it before bacteria could start eating.

The bacteria could also be used to reduce industrial waste during plastics manufacturing.

Kairo (video game). Kairo is a first-person exploration/puzzle game developed and published by British studio Locked Door Puzzle, Richard Perrin's independent studio. Kairo is set in a world of brutalist architecture which the player must explore to solve the puzzles contained within.

Gameplay

Kairo is played from a first-person perspective and has no additional controls beyond the ability to look around, move through the environment and jump. Interaction comes in the form of pushing objects, standing on switches or the environment reacting to player movement.

Story

There is no dialogue and very little text in the game. The narrative comes entirely through environmental story-telling as the world is filled with clues and hints towards the player's purpose.

Reception

Kairo has received a positive reaction from critics. Eurogamer described the game as "mysterious and elegant and powerfully distinct" and toucharcade said "The world of Kairo is like a playable, explorable tone poem."

Kairo has been selected for exhibition at events including Develop Conference, Notgames Festival, Eurogamer Expo and Penny Arcade Expo.

Eddie Kohler. 

Eddie Kohler is a computer scientist specializing in networks and operating systems. He is currently a professor of computer science at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
Prior to Harvard, he was a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Kohler co-founded Mazu Networks in 2000 and served as its Chief Scientist until it was acquired in 2009.
In 2006, he was named as one of the Top 35 Innovators Under 35 by MIT Technology Review magazine.  In 2014, he received the SIGOPS Mark Weiser Award, an award given annually to a researcher who has made "contributions that are highly creative, innovative, and possibly high-risk, in keeping with the visionary spirit of Mark Weiser."
He is also the author of the HotCRP conference management software.

In 2005, Kohler (with David Mazières) wrote a paper titled "Get me off Your Fucking Mailing List" and sarcastically submitted it to a conference from which the two did not wish to receive further communications. Years later, the paper (submitted by another scientist to an ostensibly peer-reviewed technical journal) was accepted for publication, despite a nonsensical body text.
