No. 44 Squadron IAF. No. 44 Squadron is a unit of the Indian Air Force assigned to Maintenance Command. The Squadron participates in operations involving air, land and air-drop of troops, equipment, supplies, and support or augment special operations forces, when appropriate.

History
The Squadron undertook extensive air maintenance sorties in the Ladakh and J&K Sectors. This earned the squadron the emblem of "Himalayan Geese" which was formally approved by the then President, Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan on 26 May 1966.

In 1971 Indo-Pak Conflict, the squadron proved its mettle by innovating and effectively employing AN-12s in the bombing role in the Western theatre. Notably, 44 Squadron is the only transport squadron of the Indian Air Force to be conferred the Battle Honours, a feat otherwise reserved for active operational combat units.
No. 44 Squadron has flown relief missions to Sri Lanka and Indonesia during the tsunami disaster, rescuing civilians, and to avalanche victims in Kashmir as well SOS missions to quake-affected Iran.

Ports of Call (video game). Ports of Call is a 1986 business simulation game developed by German duo Rolf-Dieter Klein and Martin Ulrich, and published by Aegis Interactive Entertainment. It was initially released for AmigaOS. After a subsequent early release for DOS it was also made available to a number of different platforms over the years, including Windows, iOS, Android and as a browser game.

Gameplay
The game simulates the management of a global freight transport company, where the player charters freight, and, using the accumulated profit, can buy more and better ships. Minigames include manually piloting your ship into a specified berth in the harbour and picking up survivors from a liferaft. The original version provided multiplayer capability in the form of hot seat.

Reception
Roy Wagner reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Ports of Call provides plenty of challenge without being bogged down with lots of economic details."

Vulcan Display Flight RAF. The Vulcan Display Flight (VDF) was a unit of the Royal Air Force formed in 1984 to continue to perform display flights of the Avro Vulcan bomber, which was withdrawn from active service that same year. It operated XL426 from 1984 to 1986 and XH558 from 1985 to 1993. It was disbanded in 1993, due to defence cuts.

History
Prior to the formation of the VDF, various Vulcans were publicly displayed by operational RAF squadrons as part of their normal duties. Since the Vulcan had been a popular performer, it was decided after the disbandment of the last operational Vulcan unit, 50 Squadron, to set up the VDF to continue display flying. The first display, performed using XL426, was for IX Squadron's Standard Presentation Parade at RAF Honington on 23 May 1984. Over 50 displays were then completed using XL426 for the 1984 season.

As a result of budget cuts, it was decided by the Ministry of Defence to discontinue the VDF, as it couldn't justify the cost of maintaining a single aircraft type simply for display purposes. The final flight, performed using XH558, was at RAF Cranfield on 20 September 1992.

Operations
The Vulcan Display Team (VDT) was a volunteer unit, with the aircraft based at RAF Waddington but with 55 Squadron, a Victor tanker unit based at RAF Marham, being their parent unit. To avoid disputes between squadrons, the VDF's Vulcans flew with the Black Panther insignia of No. 1 Group RAF, the same device worn when Vulcans were posted overseas on exercises.

Aircraft
The VDT was initially allocated the aircraft XL426, with XH560 held in reserve. XL426 was one of the last three Vulcans to be in bomber configuration in active RAF service, having been retained as training aircraft for the Vulcan tankers of 50 Squadron. With XL426's flying hours running out, it was decided in the first year of displays to replace it with XH560, although after it was discovered that XH558 had more flying hours, it was chosen instead. The already withdrawn XH558 had been at Marham for spares recovery prior to eventual disposal. A former tanker, XH558 was converted back into bomber configuration at Waddington and made its display debut at the TVS Airshow in Bournemouth in May 1985. XL426 also continued to display until a final appearance at RAF Coningsby Open Day on 14 June 1986.

XL426 was sold to a preservation group based at Southend Airport (where it remains as a taxiable aircraft), being delivered on 19 December 1986. After the disbandment, XH558 was also sold for preservation, being delivered to Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome in Leicestershire on 23 March 1993. It was eventually returned to flight in 2007 and was displayed as a civilian aircraft from the 2008 to 2015 seasons inclusive before being grounded for engineering reasons, also remaining as a taxiable aircraft at Robin Hood Airport.

Central Taiwan Science Park. The Central Taiwan Science Park (CTSP; ) is an industrial park in Taiwan.

The Central Taiwan Science Park opened in 2003. Around 53,000 people work in the park in 2022, which spans an area of 1,486 hectares. In 2021,  Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) accounted for 42.27% of the park's overall revenue.

History
The preparation proposal to establish CTSP was approved by the Executive Yuan on 23 September 2002. The CTSP was then founded in 2003, with the groundbreaking ceremony taking place on 28 July 2003 in conjunction with the construction of AU Optronics. The Central Taiwan Science Park opened in 2003 in Taichung. Of the technology parks in Taiwan, CTSP is known for a focus on precision machinery and optoelectronics. The campuses Huwei, Houli, Erli and Chung Hsing New Village were added after 2003.

Following ongoing disputes between environmental groups and the park, a Taiwan court ordered a temporary stop to expansion in 2011. The Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration stated health studies had not eliminated worries about polluted runoff into nearby farmland. The park then was 1,400 hectares, with 92 companies in the central campuses. In 2012, a group of artists and writers petitioned the government to reconsider a water diversion that would take irrigation water for use in the park.

Central Taiwan Science Park Bureau debuted a new disaster warning system in 2019. In 2019, CTSP had six primary sectors: optoelectronics, semiconductors, biotechnology, precision machinery, computers and peripherals, and green energy. In August 2020, the Tapei Times reported that while environmental campaigners were calling on the park's administration in Taichung to increase the park's usage of renewable energy. In 2021, sales generated by CTSP for the first ten months of the year were US$30.28 billion. The park said it would recruit 1,898 employees in June 2022 through a recruitment event, in response to growing orders overseas. 53,027 people already worked in the park.

Architecture
The industrial park spans over an area of 1,486 hectares. It consists of Chung Hsing Park, Erlin Park, Houli Park, Huwei Park and Taichung Park.

Residents
The park has sectors in "semiconductors, precision machinery, biotech, optoelectronics and renewable energy," among others. In 2018, 145 firms operated out of the park, responsible for 45,000 employment positions. With a 12-inch wafer fab in the park, in 2021,  Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) accounted for 42.27% of the park's overall revenue. Among other companies with production lines in the park are Epistar.
