Air Force Plant PJKS. Air Force Plant Peter J. Kiewit and Sons (AFP PJKS, AFP #79) is a Formerly Used Defense Site (CO7570090038) at the Colorado Front Range and used during the Cold War (1957-1968) to provide "rocket assembly, engine testing, and research and development") for the Titan missile complexes southeast of Denver (construction began April 1959).  The  of former "Martin Missile Test Site 1" was "deeded" to the USAF in 1957, was subsequently operated by the builder (Glenn L. Martin Company), was listed on the EPA's National Priorities List on November 21, 1989; and remained USAF property until transferred to Lockheed Martin in February 2001.  The site is used by, and entirely within, the secure Lockheed Martin/United Launch Alliance Waterton Canyon facility of  that produces Titan IV launch vehicles and the GPS III space vehicles.  Entirely within the East Fork Brush Creek watershed, the former USAF firearms ranges used by PJKS military police remains along the creek, is managed by the Skyline Hunting and Fishing Club, and is used for periodic Jefferson County police and local Boy Scout training.

HGM-25A Titan I ICBMs were liquid-fueled rockets using LOX/RP-1 propellant which required the missiles to periodically be removed from the launch silos for servicing.  Environmental sites at PJKS include 59 within six operable units (e.g., OU1, OU4, & OU6), and there are six areas of concern (12 of 14 underground tanks have been removed).  Groundwater contaminants include trichloroethene (TCE), hydrazine, vinyl chloride, benzene, and nitrate.  In fiscal year 1996, "technical work groups were formed with EPA, the State of Colorado, USGS, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to support RI site characterization and risk assessment."

Indian Branch Railway Company. The Indian Branch Railway Company was formed in 1862 to build short branch and feeder lines. It received no guarantee but was offered a 20-year subsidy. In the 1850s, it secured a guaranteed return.

In 1863, it built the  wide narrow gauge railway line between Azimganj and Nalhati. The Azimgan–Nalhati line was taken over by the Government in 1872, as Nalhati State Railway. In 1867, it opened the  wide metre gauge Kanpur–Lucknow branch line.

It established a railway workshop at Alambagh in 1865 and another at Charbagh in 1867.

Around 1872, it was merged into Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway. Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway was subsequently merged with East Indian Railway Company in 1925.

Conversion to broad gauge 
The railway lines were converted to  broad gauge in 2017.

Silicon carbonate. Silicon carbonate is a crystalline substance formed under pressure from silica and carbon dioxide. The formula of the substance is SiCO4. To produce it silicalite is compressed with carbon dioxide at a pressure of 18 Gpa and a temperature around . The silicon carbonate made this way has carbonate linked to silicon by way of oxygen in unidentate, bidentate, or bridged positions. However a stable crystal structure is not formed in these conditions. The phase produced is amorphous, but it has carbon in three-fold coordination, and silicon in six-fold coordination. When decompressed, not all carbon is released as carbon dioxide. If this really exists, the substance should be dynamically stable when reduced to atmospheric pressure.

There was also a claim to have made a silicon carbonate with a cristobalite structure, where both carbon and silicon are surrounded by four oxygen atoms. The substance was made by heating carbon dioxide and silica at 4000K. This has been disputed and the claim was retracted.

Computation also predicts SiC2O6 is stable between 7.2 and 42 GPa. Above 86 GPa the carbonate should convert to CO4 tetrahedra.

Silicon carbonate is potentially important as a mineral in the mantle of the Earth, as both carbon dioxide and silica are common on Earth.

A molecular silicon dicarbonate complex has also been made. This is made from a stabilised silylone (zeroivalent silicon) which reduces some carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide, but then reacts to form a monomeric silicon dicarbonate.

Alpha Blaster. Alpha Blaster is a fixed shooter video game developed by Dave Aron at Sumlock for the VIC-20 and published by LiveWire Software in 1983. Aackosoft published an MSX adaptation of the game in the following year.

Gameplay
In Alpha Blaster, a derivative of Galaxian (1979), the player defends against an alien invasion fleet from the planet Alpha. Piloting a lone Federation battle cruiser, the player scores points by shooting flying saucers and other spacecraft with a laser cannon. The craft's laser energy and fuel are limited. After surviving two waves of attacks, the player must then dodge and blast through debris as the cruiser flies through an asteroid belt. If the player passes through the asteroid belt, the cruiser docks with a supply ship to rearm and refuel. After each such cycle, the game's difficulty level increases.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, often abbreviated as SWPPP or SW3P, is a plan created by constructors to show their plans for sediment and erosion control.  Typically these plans are part of an overall design that details procedures to be followed during various phases of construction. This is required by a federal regulation of the United States of America governing stormwater runoff from active construction sites that are more than one acre in area. The SWPPP is considered a mitigation guideline for stormwater runoff from construction sites that have the potential to damage waterways while complying with the Clean Water Act’s provisions and EPA regulations.
