Ziria Tibalwa Waako. Ziria Tibalwa Waako is a Ugandan electrical engineer and corporate executive, who serves as the executive director and chief executive officer of the Electricity Regulatory Authority, since November 2016. She replaced Benon Mutambi, who was appointed the Permanent Secretary of the Uganda Ministry of Internal Affairs. For the first four months, from November 2016 until March 2017, she served in an acting capacity, until her confirmation on 27 March 2017.

Background and education
She holds an ordinary diploma in electrical engineering and an advanced diploma in electrical engineering, both obtained from Uganda Polytechnic Kyambogo (today Kyambogo University). She also has a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science, both in Electrical engineering, and both obtained from Makerere University, in Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city. In addition, she has a Master of Business Administration in Leadership, awarded by Walden University, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States.

Career
Tibalwa Waako's career is long, going back for over 23 years. All her adult working life has been spent in Uganda's electricity sector. She worked with the now defunct Uganda Electricity Board (UEB). When UEB was dissolved in 2001, she transferred to the Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited (UETCL). In 2012 was appointed as Director of technical regulation at the Electricity Regulatory Authority, serving in that capacity until she was promoted to CEO at the regulatory agency.

In her role as the director of technical regulation at the ERA, she has been a strong promoter of the use of energy-saving bulbs to save electricity consumption. As a result of her recommendation, the government of Uganda spent US$4.1 million to purchase LED bulbs which were distributed to grid-connected customers, from October 2014 until April 2016. This saved an estimated .

Family
Engineer Waako is married to Professor Paul Waako, a clinical pharmacologist and academic administrator, who since 1 May 2019, serves as the Vice Chancellor of Busitema University, a public university in the Eastern Region of Uganda. Together, they are parents to five children.

Other considerations
Engineer Ziria Tibalwa Waako is a member of the "Uganda Institute of Professional Engineers".

Hydro Dynamics (FIRST). Hydro Dynamics is the name of the 2017/18 FIRST Lego League challenge. It focuses on the water cycle and the ways in which humans can influence it. Each event consists of two main portions: the project and robot gameplay. Teams have fewer than ten weeks to prepare for their competitions.

Project
Teams are invited to identify a problem in the human water cycle and examine it to determine the cause and current solutions that may exist. Teams then solve to the problem by improving on a previous solution or creating a new one. Teams finally create a presentation that describes their solution and how they reached it and present it to the judges at their competitions.

Gameplay
The table performance portion of Hydro Dynamics is played on a 4 ft by 8 ft field covered in a plastic covering and rimmed by wooden boards. In order to compete in this portion, teams have to build a robot using a Lego Mindstorms robotics kit. During a competition, two fields are placed besides each other, with one robot competing on each field. Matches last  minutes and consist of a team's robot completing missions using pre-programmed instructions.

Missions
The missions in Hydro Dynamics revolve around the purification, transportation, and use of water. A list of the missions and their point values is found below.

Azoxybenzene. Azoxybenzene is organic compound with the formula C6H5N(O)NC6H5.  It is a yellow, low-melting solid.  The molecule has a planar C2N2O core.  The N-N and N-O bond lengths are nearly the same at 1.23 Å.

Preparation
It can be prepared by partial reduction of nitrobenzene. This reaction is proposed to proceed via the intermediacy of phenylhydroxylamine and nitrosobenzene:
PhNHOH  +  PhNO   →   PhN(O)NPh  +  H2O 

Another option is the oxidation of aniline by hydrogen peroxide, in acetonitrile at 50 °C. In this reaction, the pH should be kept around 8, to activate the hydrogen peroxide and avoid too much oxygen evolution at the same time. First, the acetonitrile is oxidized, forming an imine hydroperoxide. Then, this intermediate oxidizes the aniline to azoxybenzene.

CH3CN + H2O2 → [CH3C(OOH)=NH]
2 PhNH2 + 3 [CH3C(OOH)=NH] → PhN(O)NPh + 3 CH3C(O)NH2 + 2 H2O
PhNO2 + Na3AsO3/NaOH→ Ph−N+O−=N-Ph

Neohexene. Neohexene is the hydrocarbon compound with the chemical formula .  It is a colorless liquid, with properties similar to other hexenes.  It is a precursor to commercial synthetic musk perfumes.

Preparation and reactions
Neohexene is prepared by ethenolysis of diisobutene, an example of a metathesis reaction:

(CH3)3C-CH=C(CH3)2 +  → (CH3)3C-CH= + (CH3)2C=

It is a building block to synthetic musks by its reaction with p-cymene.  It is also used in the industrial preparation of terbinafine.

In the study of C-H activation, neohexene is often used as a hydrogen acceptor.

JGR Class 7010. The JGR  is a 0-6-0 steam locomotive formerly operated in Japan by  Japanese Government Railways.

Specifications
The driving wheel diameter was  and the tender has two axles. The valve gear is an Allan type with Salter safety valves on a domed boiler. It originally had a rapid ejection (pop) safety valves and the locomotive itself had no brakes, those being only on the tender.  

This class was little changed compared to the 2-4-0 tank locomotive imported at the same time, aside from having brakes on the locomotive body and an improved safety valve. Some engines were given larger cylinders.

JGR Class 160. The JGR Class 160 was a steam railway locomotive class formerly operated in Japan.

History
A total of six Class 160 locomotives were imported from the UK in 1871 and 1874. Built by Sharp, Stewart and Company, four locomotives were imported in 1871, with two more added in 1874.

Preservation

Locomotive No. 165 is preserved in operating condition at Meiji-mura in Aichi Prefecture, the oldest operating steam locomotive in Japan. While the boiler was replaced in 1985, the rest of the locomotive dates from the 1800s.

JNR Class C63. The JNR Class C63 was a 2-6-2 steam locomotive proposed by Japanese National Railways (JNR). Designed in 1956 by Hideo Shima it was based on the Class C58. But none of these locomotives were ever actually built.

Background
The planning of the JNR Class C63 began around 1955.  Electrification for the locomotive developed slowly due to financial difficulties at JNR. The company was not experienced with diesel locomotives, and it lacked test facilities for non-steam engines. Development of the new diesel locomotive was proposed because existing models were aging and travel demand was increasing.

Cancellation

In 1956, the design drawing was completed. A prototype was to be manufactured, and a manufacturing order was to be issued.

In 1958, JNR, in its "Power Modernization Plan", planned to eliminate the steam locomotive in 15 years from fiscal year 1960. JNR authorized the implementation of the plan and completed it in 1975. Since JNR had converted to the policy of abolishing the steam locomotive, the company decided to cancel the C63.

At the Koriyama Plant (currently the Koriyama General Vehicle Center), a 1/5-scale live steam replica was produced based on the design documents, mainly to demonstrate the steam locomotive technology to the young staff; the miniature is currently used during special events. In addition to models being exhibited on the first floor of Koriyama Station, models are also displayed in the exhibition room of the Kyoto Railway Museum, alongside the number plate of C63 1 painted in vermilion.
