MCV Electric Bus. The MCV Electric Bus (also known as the 'Volvo BZL Electric Bus') is a low-entry single-deck bus bodywork and a low-floor double-decker bus bodywork built by MCV Bus & Coach in partnership with Volvo Buses as the zero-emissions alternative to the MCV Evora and MCV EvoSeti. It was unveiled in September 2021 by Volvo.

Description 
Single Decker

The Electric Single Decker is available in lengths of 9m, 9.7m, 10.4m, 10.8m, 11.4m, 12.2m & 13m all lengths are available with 1 door and all lengths except 9m are available with 2 doors (Transport for London specification) The name of the bodywork is determined on the length for example the C093 EV represents the 9m and 9.7m variants and C103 EV represents the 10.4m and 10.8m variants etc.

Double Decker

The Double Decker is only available with MCV D113 EV bodywork in either 10.3m or 10.9m. It is also available with either 1 or 2 doors (Transport for London specification) like the Single DeckerEgypt

the MCV Electric Bus (both single- and double-deck) is also available in left-hand drive specification in Egypt, in all of the same lengths as in the UK.

In Egypt the MCV Electric Bus is sold directly through MCV rather than through Volvo Buses as is the case for the UK Market.

Akhtubinsk (air base). Akhtubinsk is military base, which belongs to Russian aviation research and testing military institution 929th State Flight Test Centre named for V. P. Chkalov located at Akhtubinsk, Astrakhan Oblast, Russia.

The then-State Red Banner GK Scientific Research Institute VVS was moved to the base from Chkalov in Moscow Oblast in 1960, and the 1st (fighters and fighter-bombers), 2nd (bombers), 5th (radio range), 9th (route measuring complex), and 10th (nuclear test) Scientific-Experimental Departments of the Institute were set up at Akhtubinsk that year.

In 1990 the institute received its current name. 

The aerodrome was in use for testing as early as 1948; in June 1948, V. D. Lutsenko, a test pilot and Hero of the Soviet Union crashed in an aircraft of unknown type. On October 27, 1949, test pilot E.S. Greenfield died in a crash of a La-15 aircraft at Akhtubinsk during the first show of aviation equipment. On April 9, 1963 test pilot V. I. Grotsky died during a test flight of a Sukhoi Su-7B fighter-bomber aircraft near Akhtubinsk airfield.

Aircraft 
In 2022 Google Earth imagery showed two Sukhoi S-70 Okhotnik-B sitting on a ramp at Akhtubinsk.

Six of the advanced 5th generation Sukhoi Su-57 (ASCC: Felon) supersonic combat jets were spotted on commercial satellite pictures (and visible in Google Maps) in January 2023.

Russo-Ukrainian War

At least one decoy Su-57 was painted on the airport  apron prior to 7 June 2024.

On 9 June 2024, the Ukrainian HUR claimed to have damaged two Russian Su-57 fighter jets, for the first time, using drones during a strike on the Akhtubinsk air base in Astrakhan Oblast. With casualties being reported by the HUR after the attack. Further information about the strike was added by the Russian Telegram channel Fighterbomber, which detailed that the attack was carried out by Ukrainian drones and one fighter jet was damaged by shrapnel. The same channel also added that the state of the aircraft is currently being examined which would determine whether or not it can be repaired. The ISW noted the criticism that despite the value of a single Su-57 being an estimated $35 million, it wasn’t protected by a hanger. Maxar satellite imagery showed a crater next to an Su-57 at Akhtubinsk.

Santiago Bridge. The Santiago Bridge (St. James Bridge) crosses the Lérez River in the city of Pontevedra (Spain), where the N-550 road runs alongside it. It connects the city centre with the A Xunqueira area and the O Burgo district.

History 
The project for this bridge, designed to relieve congestion on the Burgo Bridge over which the N-550 used to run, was presented in 1980. Construction began in June 1981 and was carried out by the Spanish Government's Ministry of Public Works at a cost of 173 million pesetas.

Inaugurated on 11 September 1983 by the former Minister of Public Works Jesús Sancho Rof, it was not fully operational until the redevelopment of Buenos Aires Avenue and the inauguration of Compostela Avenue on 3 July 1987, which, with four lanes, gave continuity to the Santiago Bridge and offered a new exit to the city from the north towards Santiago de Compostela and A Coruña.

Description 
It is a reinforced concrete girder bridge with two decks supported on four pillars. Each of the two decks has three bays. The span of the central bay is 48 metres and that of the side bays is 25 metres.

The bridge is 99 metres long and 17 metres wide. It has four lanes for vehicles, guard rails and two pavements. The bridge ends on the north bank with a wide passage for pedestrians and cyclists. It connects Padre Amoedo Carballo Street to Compostela Avenue.

In its early years of service, it was simply called Tercer Puente (third bridge) until the opening of Compostela Avenue to traffic. As it was the natural exit from the city to Santiago de Compostela, it was renamed Santiago Bridge.

Floodland (video game). Floodland is a 2022 city-building game developed by Vile Monarch and published by Ravenscourt. It was released on November 15, 2022 for Microsoft Windows. In the game, players control a civilization of people as they attempt to survive in a devastated world flooded as a result of climate change. The game received generally positive reviews on release.

Gameplay
Floodland is a city-building game, where players control a colony of people attempting to survive in a world consumed by flooding caused by climate change. The player can choose between four different types of "clans", which all have their own unique advantages and outlooks on life. The settlers that the player has can be assigned to construct buildings, collect resources, and perform expeditions for supplies. As the player progresses, they can encounter other clans that have different worldviews and priorities than their own people. The player must introduce laws to ensure amicable relations between clans, and prevent hostility, which can cause crime and unrest. Stores of food and water must be managed by the player as they research new technologies and create relationships between clans.

Reception

According to the review aggregator website Metacritic, Floodland received "generally favorable reviews" for its PC versions. GamesRadar liked the story, city building elements, and UI, but was frustrated by the number of software bugs on launch. Rock Paper Shotgun enjoyed how clans interacted and integrated with each other, but felt as though the player would spend too much time waiting for new technologies to be researched. The Games Machine enjoyed the narrative, and lauded the game as less challenging than other city building video games such as Frostpunk.

Alexandrite effect. The Alexandrite effect describes the phenomenon of light-induced colour changes in certain minerals. The effect was named after the alexandrite mineral, but it is also used to refer to similar processes in other minerals. The effect is thought to be caused by a combination of specific light characteristics, the spectral absorption of the mineral, and the sensitivity of the human eye to different wavelengths of light.

Alexandrite appears emerald green in daylight and red in the light emitted by candles and some lightbulbs. The primary structural mechanism involved is the presence of two spectral zones with low absorption and at least one spectral zone affecting intermediary wavelengths with high absorption. The effect is caused by transition metal atoms dispersed in the mineral. In the case of alexandrite, this is usually chromium that is incorporated during the crystallization process through coupled substitution, but other elements such as vanadium, manganese, and iron can also be involved. The incorporated transition metal atoms respond to certain wavelengths of light, which changes the perceived colour. For example, they don't respond to fluorescent lights, as the light they emit is similar to daylight. The atoms respond to warmer lights such as those emitted by candles, producing colour changes.

In determining the apparent colour of a mineral when exposed to a specific light, the characteristics of the human eye are an additional relevant consideration. In general, the human eye is most sensitive to green wavelengths.

The Alexandrite effect has also been observed in some other minerals, such as fluorite, sapphire, kyanite, monazite, spinel, garnet, tourmaline, and rare-earth oxalates.

Not to be confused with the alexandrite effect, some minerals also exhibit pleochroism. The former is a response to different wavelengths of light in general, the latter an optical artifact of crystalline structures.

E-Arsenal. E-Arsenal was an Estonian arms manufacturing company operating in Tallinn from 1994 to 2012.

History 
In 1910, the electromechanic company Russian Admiralty Arsenal (Estonian: Vene Admiraliteedi Arsenal) was founded.

In 1920, the company was renamed to Arsenal. After the Second World War, Arsenal factories housed a Soviet weapons factory. Aleksander Silberg became the head of Arsenal until 1925.

In 1926, the Arsenal Submachine gun was designed and produced by Arsenal. The Arsenal Crossley (M 27/28) armored car was produced from 1926 to 1928, the engines being produced by Crossley Motors, and 13 being assembled in the Arsenal factory and used in the Estonian Army. Arsenal also had a prototype of the Arsenal Tallinn M1938, which never saw mass production due to the Soviet occupation of the Baltic states.

From 1994 to 2009, a new state-owned company was founded on the foundations of Arsenal, and the company was owned by the Ministry of Defense. In 2009, the company was renamed E-Arsenal. 

In 2012, the Ministry of Defense liquidated E-Arsenal.

Legacy 

A shopping center,  (Estonian: Arsenali Keskus), was opened in Põhja-Tallinn on Erika Street in 2016, in the former Arsenal building.
