Indian locomotive class WCP-4. The Indian locomotive class WCP-4 was a single-member class of 1.5 kV DC electric locomotive that was developed in late 1920s by Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works (SLM)  for Indian Railways. The model name stands for broad gauge (W), Direct Current (C), Passenger traffic (P) engine, 4th generation (4). The locomotive was built at England between 1928 and 1929, and entering service in 1930.

The solitary WCP-4 served passenger trains for around 30 years before being withdrawn in early 1960s, and was presumably scrapped.

History 
Electrification of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway began in 1922. Powerful locomotives were required to transport the express trains on the mountain railway to overcome the Western Ghats. They also had to be able to reach speeds of 85 miles an hour (137 km/h). Three test locomotives were therefore ordered from different manufacturers in order to be able to select a suitable design for the series. The tender and evaluation was monitored by the English electrical engineering firm Merz & McLellan in London. The EA/1 emerged as the best locomotive from the evaluation, so that 21 more vehicles of this type were ordered, thus leaving the other two designs remaining as one-offs. The locomotive is believed to have been scrapped in the 1960s.

Indian locomotive class WCP-3. The Indian locomotive class WCP-3 was a single-member class of 1.5 kV DC electric locomotive that was developed in late 1920s by Hawthorn Leslie for Indian Railways. The model name stands for broad gauge (W), Direct Current (C), Passenger traffic (P) engine, 3rd generation (3). The locomotive was built at England between 1928 and 1929, and entering service in 1930.

The solitary WCP-3 served passenger trains for around 30 years, before being withdrawn in early 1960s, and was presumably scrapped.

History 
The electrification of the Great Indian Peninsular Railway (GIPR) began in 1922. Powerful locomotives were required to transport the express trains on the mountain railway to overcome the Western Ghats. They also had to be able to reach speeds of 85 miles an hour (137 km / h) - a very high speed at that time, which was not even the case with the E 501 and 502 of the Paris-Orleans Railway had been requested. Three test locomotives were therefore ordered from different manufacturers in order to be able to select a suitable design for the series. The tender and evaluation was monitored by the UK electrical engineering firm Merz & McLellan in London.

The Great Indian Peninsula Railway ordered the test locomotives in 1923:
 Number 4000, a 2'Bo(A1) locomotive with the Winterthur universal drive, built by SLM and Metropolitan Vickers and designated as EA/1. This design entered serial production, and would later become the WCP-1.
 Number 4001, a 2'Co2' Quill drive locomotive, built by Hawthorn Leslie and Company and General Electric Company and designated as EB/1, later known as the WCP-3.
 Number 4002, another Hawthorn Leslie 2'Co2', with the difference being that it had Buchli drive, and was jointly built by Brown Boveri. It was designated EC/1, later WCP-4.

Specification 
The locomotive has three individually driven axles and two two-axle bogies. The axes were driven by a hollow shaft drive from GEC. Technically, it should have some similarities with No. 13 of the North Eastern Railway (NER), otherwise little is known about this locomotive.

Architectural ensemble. The architectural ensemble (from the  - integrity, connectedness, unity) is harmonious unity of the spatial composition of buildings, engineering structures (bridges, embankments, etc.), works of monumental painting, sculpture and landscape gardening art. The image of the architectural ensemble depends on the change of lighting, season, the presence of people. An important element of the ensemble can serve as a landscape. In this case, the topography (for example, churches that were built on the high bank of the river) can play a key role. Very often, architectural ensembles include ponds.

There are architectural ensembles created at a time, according to a single plan, and ensembles that take shape over the years, the efforts of many architects, carefully complementing the emerging composition so that new elements are organically combined with old ones. Classical examples of such ensembles include St. Mark's Square in Venice and Palace Square in St. Petersburg.

Monifa Phillips. Monifa Louise Phillips is the first black woman to receive a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in physics from the University of Glasgow, which was founded in 1451. Phillips did her PhD within the Materials and Condensed Matter Physics group and defended her thesis entitled "Spectroscopic investigation of resistive switching mechanisms in pulsed laser deposited metal-oxide thin films". Her experimental research investigated the deposition and spectroscopic analysis of metal-oxide thin films for applications in Resistive random-access memory (RRAM), an emerging non-volatile memory storage technology. She was awarded her doctorate in 2019.

Phillips, originally from London, graduated with a Master's degree (MPhys) in Physics from the University of Sheffield in 2014. Phillips has been outspoken about the lack of diversity in her field:

"This week I was the very first black woman to graduate from the Uni of Glasgow with a PhD in Physics," Phillips wrote. "I'm a proud Black British woman from LDN. I made space for myself in a predominantly white, male field. It was hard, but with the support of my family & my community, I did it.

A motion to congratulate Phillips for being the first black female PhD physics graduate from the University of Glasgow fell in the Scottish Parliament.

Phillips is now training to be a patent attorney in electronics and engineering.

St Louis gate. Saint Louis Gate or St Louis Gate or Turbine Gate is a 2020 corruption case involving political appointees of the Government of Mauritius, employees of the Central Electricity Board and Danish firm Burmeister & Wain Scandinavian Contractor (BWSC).

Background
In 2014 a tender package was issued by the CEB for a major upgrade of an existing diesel power station at St. Louis, on the outskirts of capital city Port Louis. Burmeister & Wain Scandinavian Contractor (BWSC) of Denmark was awarded the contract by the Mauritian power-generating entity CEB (CEB). In 2018 a whistleblower alerted the financier African Development Bank (ADB) that the award to BWSC occurred after bribes had been received by several CEB employees through an intermediary of BWSC who owns a Mauritian construction company. ADB investigated the claims and thus excluded BWSC from all future work for 21 months.

Revelations
In early June 2020 Leader of Opposition Arvin Boolell raised this issue in the Parliament. Shortly after the entire Management Team of CEB was stood down on 14 June 2020 by the Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth who appointed a new Board of Management.  As more details surrounding the St Louis Gate scandal became public the Opposition highlighted the need for a detailed enquiry and also requested the dismissal or resignation of the Deputy Prime Minister involved. Observers also questioned the basis for the significant capital expenditures, given the remote risk of a power black-out on the island.

In July 2020 the contracting firm PAD & Company Limited (PAD & Co. Ltd.) was placed under voluntary administration and firm BDO was appointed as administrator after facing liquidity problems following revelations of fake bank guarantees for civil works contract of the order of Rs 210 Millions, as well as earlier revelations of the firm's involvement in the BWSC-CEB-ADB St Louis gate scandal. Shamshir Mukoon former director of CEB and Alain Hao Thyn Voon, former director of contracting firm PAD CO have also been interrogated by ICAC investigators.

On 05 September 2020 Bertrand Lagesse  was arrested in Mauritius for contravening Articles 3 (1) (b), 6 and 8 of the Financial Intelligence and Anti-Money Laundering Act since May 2016. Bertrand Lagesse has been the consulting engineer for Burmeister & Wain Scandinavian Contractor (BWSC) which is the principal contractor of the CEB in this scandal. He is suspected of having acquired a property worth 212,948 Euros (Rs 10 Millions) as well as for holding Rs 8.17 Millions in a bank account using proceeds of corruption. However the investigators have discovered that Bertand Lagesse had already erased his telephone and computer records.
