Operation Pacific Assist. Operation Pacific Assist was an operation commenced by Australian Defence Force and New Zealand Defence Force together with Emergency Management Australia and Emergency Management New Zealand as an effort to support the relief activity on the aftermath of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster which occurred in Japan. Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) and Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) deployed C-17A Globemaster III aircraft onto the transportation support activity.

 This article is not about "Operation Pacific Assist 2015".

Summary 
Prior to the Queensland floods and Christchurch earthquake, an Emergency Services Task Force was created by emergency response personnel from Sydney, Canberra and Brisbane in Australia, and there is also the emergency response personnel from Auckland and Wellington in New Zealand. On March 14, 2011, RAAF and RNZAF are transported the Task Force into Yokota Air Base with a C-17A.

The C-17A then remain in Japan to provide transportation help for Japanese and American government, includes for example, transporting vehicles and personnel of 15th Brigade of Japan Ground Self-Defence Force from Kadena Air Base in Okinawa to Yokota Air Base, and transporting drinking water from Chitose Air Base to Hanamaki Airport. These operations are also helped by United States Forces Japan.

On March 22, 2011, in order to help with containing the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, two additional C-17A carrying water cannon system have been sent to Japan. At that point, three out of the four C-17s operated by the RAAF and RNZAF were sent to Japan.

Operation Pacific Assist ended on March 25, 2011. During the operation, 23 sorties were commenced, transporting more than a million pounds of cargo, including 41 vehicles and 135 personnel.

Adidas Parley. Adidas Parley is a collection of clothing and footwear originated from the collaboration of German multinational company Adidas and Parley for the Oceans, an organization that addresses environmental threats towards the oceans, through plastic pollution.

Since the first collection launched in 2015, Adidas Parley products are produced with recycled plastic which helps to mitigate the amount of plastic which ends up in the ocean plastic ocean debris. Adidas recreated three editions of their UltraBoost shoe, and a new version of their Adidas Originals shoe.

History

Origins
Eric Liedtke, the executive of Adidas in 2015, chose to use recycled plastics in the production of the Adidas Parley shoes, as he felt that there were many potential applications for its use and that it would also serve as part of a solution to the ocean plastic problem. This formed the start of a long term initiative project by Adidas to eliminate new plastic from its supply chain and to expand its plastic cultivation to more athletic product lines. Adidas has used recycled polyester and sustainable cotton in previous athletic products, but these production runs are small in comparison to their ocean-bound plastic shoe initiative.

Collaboration
Parley for the Oceans (Parley) is Adidas' partner in the Parley A.I.R Strategy, which turns plastic waste into thread that is woven into running shoes. The Adidas-Parley shoe silhouettes were re-designed with knitted uppers and decorative stitching, all made from recycled, ocean-bound plastic collected by Parley. The outsole is crafted from recycled and re-ground rubber.  

Additionally, Adidas has worked with Parley to create mass-produced performance football products with the debut of the Adidas x Parley Real Madrid, FC Bayern Munich and Manchester United FC home jerseys collaboration. For the 2015 to 2018 seasons, Adidas released limited amount of Parley jersey's for select Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs. In 2019 Adidas partnered again with the MLS to release Parley jerseys for each MLS club in limited quantities.

As part of their collaboration, Adidas and Parley for the Oceans held the "Run for the Oceans" event in summer of 2017, with the intention that this would raise awareness of their products as well as ocean conservation.

Models

UltraBoost Uncaged Parley 
The "UltraBOOST Uncaged Parley" was sold for $220 a unit. Adidas then released an updated version of a 1990s shoe made with yarns made from waste plastic. The UltraBoost shoes used materials from 11 recycled ocean-bound plastic bottles per pair in the shoe laces, heel linings, and sock liner covers.

Parley swimming collection 
Adidas created Parley swimwear, using plastic recycled into the technical yarn fibre Econyl, a branded yarn composed of at least 50% salvaged fishing nets and post-consumer carpets, which offers the same properties as the regular nylon used to make swimwear. 76 per cent of the collection also incorporates recycled polyamide.

MGWR Class H. The Midland Great Western Railway (MGWR) Class H were an 0-6-0 locomotive bought in 1880 from Avonside Engine Company. After 1925 they became Great Southern Railways (GSR) class 619 / Inchicore class J6.

Fleet

History
The MGWR acquired these engines at a favourable price from the Avonside Engine Company when the original customer, the Waterford, Dungarvan and Lismore Railway, refused the locomotives due to late delivery and other potential buyers had rejected them.  They were notable for being fitted with more comfortable and spacious cabs compared to contemporary MGWR designed locomotives.  Due to lack of vacuum train brakes they were confined to North Wall freight yard workings until their first and very extensive rebuild in 1906-1908.

Locomotive no. 99 was used in the trials of the patent Cusack-Morton superheater from 1915 to 1916.  All the class were then rebuilt with either a Belpaire(Robinson) superheater boiler with piston values between 1918 and 1922.

Noted as powerful free steaming engines capable of hauling 55 wagons on the main line they proved for goods work they were also suitable for slower speed passenger services.

Vera Sandberg. Vera Helfrid Victoria Sandberg (born 23 May 1895 at Hångers gård (Eng:Hångers farm) in Ljungby; died 24 December 1979 in Stockholm) was a Swedish engineer. In 1917, she became Sweden's first female engineer.

Biography
Vera Sandberg grew up at Långasjönäs in Asarums parish in the province of Blekinge. When she entered Chalmers University of Technology in 1914 she was the only woman among 500 male students. In 1917, she achieved her degree in chemistry, and after that she started working at AB Skandinaviska Raffineriet in Partille, as well as positions at Oljefabriken i Karlshamn, Helsingborgs Gummifabrik and at Sieverts Kabelverk in Sundbyberg. She married engineer Ragnar Adolf Resare in 1937. The couple resided in Storfors for several years, when she mainly focused on her family. Until 1965 she was part-owner of Långasjönäs Pappersbruk and was included in the board on a regular basis.

Legacy

Vera Sandberg has given her name to several things, among other:
 Chalmersspexet Vera, spex performed by Chalmers Students' Union.
 Vera Sandbergs Allé, allée in Gothenburg.
 One of Chalmer's hot-air balloons.
 A conference room at Chalmer's student union building, called Veras Gräsmatta (Vera's Lawn).
 Chalmer's team, Chalmers Vera Team, in the competition Eco Marathon.
 Vera Sandbergs gata, a street in Ljungby.

In June 2019, a statue was unveiled in her honour by Chalmers University of Technology on Vera Sandberg Avenue in Gothenburg, created by sculptor Jan Cardell.

Micro-80. The Micro-80 () was the first do-it-yourself home computer in the Soviet Union.

Overview
Schematics and information were published in the local DIY electronic magazine Radio in 1983. It was complex, using an KR580VM80A-based system (a clone of the Intel 8080) which contained about 200 ICs. This system gained low popularity, but set a precedent in getting the attention of hobbyists for DIY computers, and later other DIY computers were published by Radio and other DIY magazines.

History of creation 
The creation of the Micro-80 prototype began in 1978, when a package from the Kiev NPO Kristall arrived at the Moscow Institute of Electronic Machine Building (MIEM) by mistake. There were microcircuits in that package. Soon, MIEM specialists figured out that this was a domestic analogue of the i8080 microprocessor and peripheral controllers and decided to create their own PC.

In 1979, the first sample of a microcomputer was launched. As in the first Western microcomputers, a terminal connected via a serial interface was used as a display device and keyboard, in this case the Videoton-340. There was also a punched tape reader FS-1500. 4 KB RAM was made on K565RU2 microcircuits with a 1K×1 organization (later the RAM was increased by another 8 KB). Initially, there was no ROM at all, and when the computer was turned on cold (as in one of the first American microcomputers Altair 8800 of 1975), it was necessary to manually enter the program for loading the block from punched tape with toggle switches. When i2708 chips (UV-ROM 1K×8) became available some time after the computer was running, they were used to store the ROM-BIOS and the monitor, eliminating the need to constantly load them from punched tape.

Popov developed a text video adapter that works on a conventional household TV and a keyboard read through the PPA KR580VV55, which eliminated the bulky industrial terminal. After a data storage system based on a cassette recorder was developed, in 1980 a prototype of a full-fledged household computer was obtained. After bringing it into a presentable form, it was shown to the Deputy Minister of the Radio Industry N.V. Gorshkov, but did not meet his understanding regarding the implementation of the development.

Resonance for journal publication 
The idea to build a computer on their own interested many radio amateurs. Letters began to come to the editors of the Radio magazine with requests to simplify the design of the Micro-80 and, to facilitate assembly, develop printed circuit boards for it. Therefore, soon, already in 1986, the same authors published a much simpler Radio 86RK computer, containing only 29 microcircuits.

Specialist (computer). The Specialist () is a DIY computer designed in Soviet Union. Its description was published in Modelist-Konstructor (), a magazine for scale model builders in 1987. It was the first such publication in a magazine not oriented on electronics.

Overview 
The original construction was developed by a professional technical school teacher two years earlier. It was much more advanced than previous DIY computers, because it had a higher graphical image resolution (384x256) and a "transparent" video system, which did not slow down the CPU when both the CPU and the video system tried to access the RAM simultaneously. It gained limited popularity with hobbyists, though some factories produced DIY kits (Lik for example).

Technical specifications 
 CPU: KR580VM80A (Intel 8080A clone) clocked at 2 MHz.
 RAM: 32 or 48 KiB.
 ROM: 2 KiB, expandable to 12 KiB. ROM contains monitor firmware.
 Video: monochrome graphics mode. The image resolution is 384 × 256 pixels. Text can be displayed using 64 columns × 25 rows of characters. Images for the upper case Cyrillic and Latin characters in KOI-7 N2 encoding are built in the Monitor ROM.
 Storage media: cassette tape. The recording format is compatible with the one used in Radio-86RK.
 Keyboard: membrane type, 72 keys. The keyboard matrix is attached via programmable peripheral interface chip KR580VV55 (Intel 8255 clone) and scanned by CPU.

UT-88. The UT-88 () is a DIY educational computer designed in the Soviet Union. Its description was published in YT dlya umelykh ruk (Young technical designer for skilled hands, ) — a supplement to Yunij Technik (Young technical designer, ) magazine in 1989. It was intended for building by school children of extracurricular hobby groups at Pioneers Palaces.

Description 
At the time of publication, there were several DIY computers: Micro-80, Radio-86RK, and Specialist. The main feature of UT-88 was the possibility to build a computer in stages while getting a workable construction at each step. This approach made it easier to build by less skilled hobbyists.

The minimal configuration of the computer includes a power supply, CPU, 1 KiB of ROM and 1 KiB of RAM, 6 seven-segment displays, a 17-key keyboard, and a tape interface. This computer can be used as a scientific calculator.

Full configuration adds a display module with a TV interface, a full keyboard, and a 64 KiB dynamic RAM module.

Air Rescue Wing Naha Detachment (JASDF). The Air Rescue Wing Naha Detachment () is a unit of the Air Rescue Wing of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. It is also known as the Naha Air Rescue Squadron. Responsible for airborne search and rescue, it is based at Naha Air Base in Okinawa Prefecture. It is equipped with UH-60J and U-125A aircraft.

History
On May 28, 2013 an F-15C of the US Air Force's 44th Fighter Squadron crashed into the ocean off Okinawa. The pilot ejected and was rescued by the detachment.

On June 11, 2018 the detachment rescued the pilot of another US F-15C from the 44th Fighter Squadron based at Kadena Air Base that ejected over the sea off Okinawa.

Tail markings
Detachment UH-60J aircraft do not have special markings. JASDF aircraft usually have unit markings on their tail, but U-125A aircraft of the Air Rescue Wing have a marking on their fuselage, usually with a sticker below showing which base they are assigned to.

Treatment pond. A treatment pond is intended to provide wastewater treatment to achieve a certain effluent quality. Ponds are depressions holding water confined by earthen structures.

Kinds of treatment pond include:

 Aerated lagoons rely upon mechanical aerators providing oxygen to reduce the organic content measured as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD).
 Anaerobic lagoons are waste stabilization ponds providing habitat for anaerobic microorganisms.
 Free surface constructed wetlands are shallow ponds using managed arrangements of rooted vegetation to physically arrest solids and particulate material while removing soluble nutrients in the water by uptake into plant tissue and supplying oxygen to the water to reduce BOD.
 Detention basins are designed to temporarily hold runoff as a flood control measure; they are also called "dry ponds", "holding ponds" or "dry detention basins" if no permanent pool of water exists.
 Facultative lagoons are waste stabilization ponds providing stable stratified habitat for both aerobic organisms near the surface and anaerobic organisms in deeper water.
 Infiltration basins are ponds designed to percolate their contents into groundwater though underlying permeable soils serving as a filter to remove solids and some dissolved material through ion exchange or oxidation by soil microbes.
 Bank-side reservoirs are lined ponds for temporary storage of water taken from a nearby river during periods of adequate flow and good water quality.
 Retention basins are wet ponds designed to temporarily hold runoff as a flood control measure.
 Settling basins separate solids from liquid wastewaters by gravity without provision for reducing BOD of those solids through biochemical oxidation.
 Waste stabilization ponds are ponds built for wastewater treatment where biological processes occur which reduce the BOD and kill pathogens in the wastewater.
