Bhalswa landfill. 

Bhalswa landfill is an overfilled landfill waste dumping site located in Delhi, India; it is over  high. The site opened in 1994 and was declared overfilled in 2006, but remains in use, receiving more than 2,300 tons dumped daily in 2021. In 2022, the heap measured over 62 meters (203 feet).

Impact
The site is a major source of environmental pollution, fire hazards, and public health and safety issues.  A 2022 study of groundwater surrounding the nearby Bhalswa Lake found none of the water was fit for consumption. Prime Minister Modi has included removal of landfills in India's Clean India Mission.

Sê San Dam. The Sê San Dam (Sê San Dam 4) is on the Sê San river at Ia Tơi commune, Ia H'Drai district and Ia O commune, Ia Grai district of Gia Lai province in Vietnam.

Power generation 

The Sê San Dam hydropower plant has 3 units with an installed capacity of 360 MW, which is the second largest hydropower plant (after Ia Ly hydroelectricity) on the Sesan river hydroelectricity system. By design, the electricity output supplied to the national grid is 1.4 billion kWh/year. However, in situation of severe drought and water shortage, it is inevitable that the power output supplied to the national power grid will be drastically reduced.

Impacts 

The Sê San Hydropower ensures electricity security for the region and nation, helping to stabilize the electricity system. This hydropower supports in generating local budget and improving local economy. With the collected budget, it is used for forest recovery, forest plantation towards sustainable development of forest.

Since its construction in 2004, Sê San Hydropower has been recently promoted tourism. From Pleiku city, about 70 km to the west, tourists will reach Ia O commune, Ia Grai district to visit the lake bed, the fishing village on the Se San hydroelectric lake, visit Mo waterfall, and then go through the cashew garden, rubber forest, etc. with the pristine natural landscape. Tourism has just been newly launched, so the service remains limited and welcomes mainly domestic tourists for river-experiencing tourism services in the Central Highlands.

Heage Windmill. Heage Windmill, in Heage, Derbyshire, is a restored windmill, built in the 1790s. After standing unused since 1919, it was restored to working order in 2002. The mill is a Grade II* listed building;

History
It is a tower mill, built in the 1790s and working by 1798. It had four common sails. It was purchased in 1850 by brothers Thomas and Isaac Shore, who modified the mill, replacing the sails with four patent sails, and fitting a fantail. It was damaged in a storm in February 1894, when the cap and sails were blown off; the repaired windmill had six patent sails and an ogee cap.

The mill was in use until 1919, when the miller was Thomas Isaac Shore, grandson of the earlier miller Thomas Shore. In that year the fantail was damaged in a gale, and the mill was closed down. It was sold by the Shores at an auction in 1934, and used by the new owner for storage, eventually becoming derelict. It was given listed status in 1965, as a Grade II* listed building. In 1968 it was purchased by Derbyshire County Council.

There was restoration in the early 1970s: there were new floors, cap covering, fantail and sails, but the mill was not brought to working order. The first of several Open Days took place in 1989. These made the public more aware of the mill, and in 1996 Heage Windmill Society, a charitable trust, was formed. Full restoration began, funded by grants from various sources. The fully working mill was opened to the public on 1 June 2002.

In August 2015 wet rot was found in the fantail mechanism and sails. Funds were raised to make repairs, which were completed in June 2016.

Present day
The mill is open at weekends and Bank Holiday Mondays from April to October; there are guided tours. Group visits can be booked.

Wax deposition. Wax deposition or paraffin deposition refers to the accumulation of paraffin wax on the surface of a substance, typically a liquid or gas. This can occur in a variety of contexts, including the production and transport of oil and natural gas, the refining of petroleum products, and the storage and transport of chemicals. For the transportation of crude oil in a pipeline, wax can deposit on to the inner surface of the pipeline, reducing the area for fluid to flow and increasing the pressure requirement for fluid to flow. To prevent wax deposition, various techniques can be used, including heating the fluid to dissolve wax back into the oil phase, adding chemicals to prevent wax formation, and using specialized equipment or a pig to remove the wax deposit from the pipe wall surface.

The term "wax deposition" should not be confused with the term "wax precipitation". The precipitation of wax refers to the phase change of the dissolved wax in liquid phase into solid wax particles. This phenomenon is governed by the thermodynamic equilibrium of wax in oil. The wax precipitation is the necessary condition, but it is not the sufficient condition for wax deposition to occur. For wax deposition to occur, the solid surface temperature for wax to be deposited on must be lower than the temperature of waxy oil solution.

Hyper Velocity Gliding Projectile. is a Japanese hypersonic glide vehicle being intended to be used as a hypersonic weapon in defending of remote islands.

Design and capabilities 
The HVGP is designed as a standoff missile capable of attacking enemy forces invading remote islands in Japan from outside the enemy weapon engagement zone. The development of the HVGP is based on an incremental approach, with Block 1 being developed as an early version based on existing technology, followed by the development of a performance-enhancing Block 2. Both of them are designed for launch using a solid-propellant rocket booster, with the projectile separating from it at a high altitude and then gliding at hypersonic speeds until impact. In Block 2, glide performance will be further improved by introducing waverider technology.

Projectile guidance would be primarily provided by satellite navigation, with inertial navigation system as a backup. Radio-frequency imaging and infrared homing would also be used for guidance when engaging moving targets. Special armour-piercing ammunitions, capable of penetrating the deck of aircraft carriers, are used to attack ships, and high-density explosively formed projectiles (EFPs), capable of area suppression, are used to attack ground targets.

The range of Block 1 was estimated to be around , but in order to provide a second strike capability, the range in Block 2 was increased to 3,000 km.

Deployment 
The plan is to complete the development of Block 1 by FY2025 and begin deployment in FY2026, and to begin deployment of Block 2 in the 2030s, deploying two battalions in the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force. These batteries are being considered for deployment in Hokkaido and Kyushu.

The development of a submarine-launched version is under consideration, reportedly.

Sigismund Mohr. Sigismund Mohr (October 21, 1827 – December 15, 1893) was a Canadian engineer. He is best known for pioneering the use of hydro-electric power in Canada, and the installation of electric light and telephone systems in Quebec.

Early life and education
Sigismund Mohr was born to a Jewish family in Breslau, Kingdom of Prussia, in 1827. He received a degree in electrical engineering from the College of Breslau in 1849. After living in London for a time, Mohr settled in Quebec City around 1871.

Career 
In 1876, Mohr obtained exclusive rights to establish a telegraph company in Quebec City, which he did under the name City District Telegraph Company. He also introduced telephones to the city, and his company eventually won the province-wide rights to Alexander Graham Bell's invention. Mohr became an agent for the newly created Bell Telephone Company of Canada and worked to integrate the city's telephone and telegraph systems. He also laid a telephone cable between Quebec City and Levis in 1882.

In the 1880s, Mohr turned his attention to the development of electrical power in the region. He became the manager of the Quebec & Levis Electric Lighting Company and worked to harness the power of the Montmorency Falls to generate electricity. In 1885, he successfully lit the first electric street lamps in Quebec City, on the Terrasse Dufferin, to a crowd of 20,000 people, which sparked widespread demand for electrification in the city.

Death 
Mohr continued to develop the electric lighting network in Quebec City until his death from influenza in 1893.
