MP-155. MP-155 is a gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun manufactured by Izhevsk Mechanical Plant in Russia. It was created on the basis of MP-153 and superseded it in production.

Description 
MP-155 is designed for firing cartridges developing pressures up to 1050 Bar (including lead and steel shot). 

Due to the use of aluminum alloys (from which the receiver is made), by placing a mechanism for adjusting the impulse of the automation engine in the gas piston (which improved the balance of the gun) and using a lightweight aiming bar (arched type), the weight of the gun was reduced compared to the MP-153.

The butt and fore-end can be made of wood (beech or walnut) or plastic.

The new model differs from MP-155 in a few ways, like length of the receiver of the 12/76 version was reduced (which provides additional weight reduction). It is also available in versions for lefthanded shooters, has dovetail mount and other improvements.

New version was presented by Kalashnikov in 2017.

Users 

  - is allowed as civilian hunting weapon; in 2024 several MP-155 shotguns were used in Armed forces (as auxiliary weapon against low-flying UAVs).

Robotic tech vest. Robotic tech vest (RTV) is a special wearable equipment protecting workers near industrial robots. It is similar to a high-visibility jacket but for robots. Robots can sense a vest from a distance and avoid moving into it, thus protecting the wearer from collisions.

History
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has studied the topic of workers' safety in the areas of operating robots and concluded: "Studies indicate that many robot accidents occur during non-routine operating conditions, such as programming, maintenance, testing, setup, or adjustment. During many of these operations the worker may temporarily be within the robot's working envelope where unintended operations could result in injuries." Before employing RTVs, workers marked out the area where they would be working to enable the robotic route planner to smartly route around that area.

Operation in warehouse
In 2018, Amazon introduced robotic tech vests in 25 warehouses to protect workers from robot collisions. This kind of equipment is needed in the warehouse, where human workers and robots cooperate. Additionally to the general obstacle detection of the robots, the RTV ensures that workers are detected as obstacles. It allows the robots to detect the human from farther away and update its trajectory. A robotic tech vest is a combo of a belt and suspenders. As according to Amazon in 2019, RTV has been introduced to more than 25 sites and more than 1 million activations were completed. The workers are safe with RTVs when they enter the area to fix a robotic system or retrieve fallen items. Amazon claimed RTVs to be successful in 2019.

Difference to collaborative robots
The technology of robotic tech vest stands in contrast to the collaborative robots approach. In case of collaborative robots, the RTVs are not needed.

The Old Windmill, Appleton Roebuck. The Old Windmill is a disused windmill in Appleton Roebuck, a village south-west of York in England.

The four-storey tower windmill was constructed in about 1820, to grind corn.  It is built of brick and is circular, tapering as it rises.  It has two arched entrances, with multiple arched windows above.  The mill's sails were dismantled in the 1930s, and its machinery was removed during World War II.  The mill fell into ruin, losing its roof and many internal features.  Despite this, it was Grade II listed in 1987.

The mill was purchased by the Houseman family in 1964, along with the surrounding land.  In 2018, the family sold the mill for £200,000, having obtained outline planning permission for its conversion into a house.  Ian Hazard designed the conversion, which includes three single-storey outbuildings, providing additional living space.

The mill is visible from the East Coast Mainline, and from its top floor, there is a view of York Minster.

List of mid-air collisions. This is a list of notable accidents and incidents involving mid-air collisions.

In aviation, a mid-air collision is an accident in which two or more aircraft come into unplanned contact during flight. Owing to the relatively high velocities involved and the likelihood of subsequent impact with the ground or sea, very severe damage or the total destruction of at least one of the aircraft usually results.

The potential for a mid-air collision is increased by miscommunication, mistrust, error in navigation, deviations from flight plans, lack of situational awareness, and the lack of traffic collision-avoidance systems. Although a rare occurrence in general due to the vastness of open space available, collisions often happen near or at airports, where large volumes of aircraft are spaced more closely than in general flight.
