River LA. River LA is a nonprofit working on the revitalization of the Los Angeles River. The organization, formerly known as the Los Angeles River Revitalization Corporation, was founded in 2009 by the City of LA to coordinate river policy as part of the Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan. River LA has garnered attention for their work with Frank Gehry; their work on the La Kretz Crossing, the first multi-modal cable-stayed bridge of its kind; and their Greenway 2020, a project to create a continuous 51 mile greenway and bike path. In the fall of 2020 they launched Rio Reveals, a multi-year campaign of immersive experiences along the L.A. River, engaging more than 40 artists and the community to benefit the river. The organization is led by Executive Director Ed Reyes. Jon Switalski is the current Director of External Affairs.

Projects 
River LA recruited Frank Gehry in 2014 to collaborate on the River’s revitalization, a decision supported by Mayor Eric M Garcetti. River LA and Gehry Partners have thus far unveiled the River Index, an online database that catalogues research and data on the River.  

In 2011, plans were announced for a pedestrian, equestrian and cyclist bridge over the Los Angeles River connecting Griffith Park and Atwater Village. The project is a public-private infrastructure project funded by a public funding and private donations because of a shared focus on alternative transportation. The La Kretz Bridge will be the first 21st century bridge to cross the LA River.

In 2017, River LA became a charter member of the Highline Network. The Highline Network is created to support re-use infrastructure projects similar to New York City's High Line, with members including the Atlanta Beltline, Crissy Field, Dequindre Cut, the Lowline, Klyde Warren Park, the Bentway, the Trinity River Project, etc.

In 2020, River LA announced Rio Reveals, a groundbreaking series of experiences bringing together Los Angeles artists, culture, and community for a live, immersive journey along the past, present and future of the L.A. River. River LA is collaborating with experiential entertainment studio 13Exp and more than 40 artists on this multi-year campaign.

Chartered Engineer (Sri Lanka). In the Sri Lanka, a Chartered Engineer is an Engineer registered with the registered with the engineering council and Institution of Engineers, Sri Lanka. It is based on the British designation of Chartered Engineer.

Registration
Only the Institution of Engineers, Sri Lanka (IESL) registers its Corporate Members as Chartered Engineer based on their selection criteria and peer-reviewed process. To practice as a Chartered Engineer in Sri Lanka, one needs to be registered with the Engineering Council.

Qualifications
Qualifications required for registration is determined by the Institution of Engineers and as of recent require an accredited degree in engineering following the discontinuation of the mature entry route, where engineers with other qualifications and experience used to apply.

Designatory lettering
Chartered Engineers are entitled to use the suffix, CEng (Sri Lanka) after names.

Criticism
The process of selecting Chartered Engineers have been criticized, due to only IESL having the authority to award the designation and sole discretion to determine the selection criteria. In 2010, it discontinued the mature entry route for non-degree holding applicants to apply for Chartered Engineer designation. However, it grants membership to diploma graduates of the IESL owned IESL College of Engineering Pvt. Ltd., forcing non-degree holding applicants to undertake its fee levied IESL College courses to gain IESL membership.

Naliya Cantonment railway station. Naliya Cantonment railway station is a small railway station in Kutch district, Gujarat. Its code is NLC. It serves Naliya Air Force Station, 6 km south of Naliya village. The station consists of 1 platform. It is next to last station on western side of India, the last being Naliya railway station.

Naliya Cantonment had a metre-gauge railway line laid in 1980 to get connected with the town of Bhuj. The line was abandoned later since Gandhidham–Bhuj section got converted to broad gauge and this 101.24 km line became isolated. Recently, conversion to broad gauge has been approved by the Government of India in June 2016, so that it can be used for public, military or freight purpose. In 2018 the railway section between Bhuj and Deshalpur village (28 km) was commissioned, remaining under gauge conversion Deshalpur–Naliya section (74 km).

Bhuj – Naliya railway line is classified as being of strategic importance, because of its proximity to the border with Pakistan and Naliya Air Force Station.

There is a project to extend the line up to Vayor village, 25 km northwest of Naliya.

Drainage tunnel. A drainage tunnel, called an emissary in ancient contexts, is a tunnel or channel created to drain water, often from a stagnant or variable-depth body of water. It typically leads to a lower stream or river, or to a location where a pumping station can be economically run.  Drainage tunnels have frequently been constructed to drain mining districts or to serve drainage districts.

Etymology
Emissary comes from Latin emissarium, from ex and mittere 'to send out'.

Ancient world

The most remarkable emissaries carry off the waters of lakes surrounded by hills.

In ancient Greece, the waters of Lake Copais were drained into the Cephisus; they were partly natural and partly artificial. In 480 BC, Phaeax built drains at Agrigentum in Sicily: they were admired for their sheer size, although the workmanship was crude.

The ancient Romans excelled in the construction of emissaries, as in all their hydraulic works, and remains are extant showing that lakes Trasimeno, Albano and Nemi were all drained by means of emissaries. The case of Lake Fucino is remarkable in two ways: the attempt to drain it was one of the rare failures of Roman engineering, and the emissary is now completely above ground and open to inspection. Julius Caesar is said to have first conceived the idea of this stupendous undertaking  (Suet. Jul. 44). Claudius inaugurated what was to have been a complete drainage scheme, the Tunnels of Claudius (Tac. Ann. xii.57), but the water level dropped by just 4 meters and stabilized, leaving the lake very much there. Hadrian tried it again, but failed; and it was not until 1878 that Lake Fucino was finally drained.

The initial text of this section was an abridgement from Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities (1875 edition, public domain).

Modern examples
Modern examples of drainage tunnels include the Emisor Oriente Tunnel near Mexico City, as well as the Tunnel and Reservoir Plan in Chicago.

Cogmind. Cogmind is a tactical science fiction roguelike available for Windows developed by Grid Sage Games, a company founded by Josh Ge. Before its Steam early access release on 16 October 2017, it underwent public testing through alpha and beta stages.

Gameplay
The player character is a robot, able to salvage parts from the remains of other robots; the game includes over 1000 of these parts. Character development is primarily focused around equipment: parts can be gained and used to level up, but also lost. Another distinguishing feature is the in-game interface, which is considered to be user-friendly compared to other roguelikes. The game also features a destructible environment, "a living ecosystem" of robot types, and a detailed stealth system that minimises dependence on combat.

Development
Cogmind originated as an entry for the 2012 7-Day Roguelike Challenge, and was based on Ge's previous roguelike X@COM. After the challenge, Ge decided to develop the concept further, releasing the first public alpha on 24 May 2015, though Ge considered the alpha to be on the level of many games' release candidates. In the beginning of 2016, it was selected as one of Destructoid's top indie games to look for that year. Grid Sage Games released a public beta on 6 May 2017. This was followed by an early access release on Steam on 16 October. Despite it being labelled as early access, Ge stated that it was "a very complete experience", and that he only planned to withhold it from full release for around 6 months.
