Real Time Governance Society. Real Time Governance Society (RTGS) is an Indian e-governance initiative of chief minister N. Chandrababu Naidu from Andhra Pradesh, India. It was formed on 6 September 2017. The department reports to the concerned minister.

History 
The idea is to use electronic communication and technology to deploy e-governance in Andhra Pradesh. It has 13 district centers and 1 state center for reporting. Data from Andhra Pradesh Weather Forecasting and Early Warning Research Center, drones, machine learning systems, biometric systems and other surveillance systems are collated and reported through the RTGS system in real-time. A call center addresses internal grievances.

Applications of RTGs

The RTGS system has been used by N. Chandrababu Naidu to evaluate the performance of MLA's from his party. When setting up meetings with party leaders prior to the 2019 elections, he used to warn the MLAs that he had all the information about them and that he would only field candidates who had the potential to win. For the same, the Chief Minister received input as well as data broken down by the constituency. The same was also used to ensure none of his ministers partook in any sand mining activity which the opposition had often attacked his party about. 

Using the RTGS and IVRS technologies, the Andhra Pradesh government sent messages to about Nine Lakh people during the impending ‘Phethai Cyclone’ to minimise the loss of human life. About the effectiveness of RTGS, Chandrababu Naidu observed: "We have beaten IMD in predicting the exact location of where the cyclone made the landfall".

Tesla vs Lovecraft. Tesla vs Lovecraft is a twin-stick shooter video game developed and published by Finnish studio 10tons.  Players control Nikola Tesla as he attempts to stop H. P. Lovecraft and his army of monsters.

Gameplay 
Horror author H. P. Lovecraft interrupts a demonstration of Nikola Tesla's newest invention. Tesla ignores Lovecraft's warnings, only to find that Lovecraft has become possessed by Cthulhu.  Lovecraft steals all of Tesla's inventions and uses them to open a dimensional gateway for the monsters described in his fiction. Players take the role of Tesla as he fights the monsters, initially armed with conventional arms and a teleporter. Players can upgrade Tesla's weaponry as they find items, up to a mecha, and power-ups grant him brief advantages. Killing large numbers of monsters allows players to select perks, which grant special abilities during all fights on that level. Dying allows players to choose different perks, and they are reset when moving on to a new level.

Release 
Tesla vs Lovecraft was released for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux on January 26, 2018. The PlayStation 4 version was released on March 13, 2018; the Xbox One and Nintendo Switch versions were released three days later. The iOS version launched on October 25, 2018. The Android version launched on May 2, 2019.

Reception 

Harry Slater of Pocket Gamer called the iOS version a "wonderfully violent and perfectly challenging shooter".  Writing for TouchArcade, Jared Nelson called it "an absolutely fantastic top-down shooter" and 10tons's best game, despite some issues with the iOS controls.  Reviewing the PlayStation 4 version for Push Square, Ken Talbot wrote, "The PS4 isn't exactly wanting for top down shooters, yet despite the familiarity of its execution, there’s just so much to enjoy here."  Andrew Reiner of Game Informer wrote, "Tesla vs. Lovecraft seems simple at first, but the way the environments are used is quite clever."  The Nintendo Switch version, reviewed in Nintendo World Report by David Keremes, was criticized for lack of online co-op gameplay and the sameness of the levels.  Kermes, however, said that it "looks and feels great", concluding that it is "a solid and fun twin-stick shooter".

Tesla vs Lovecraft won the 'Big Screen Game of the Year 2018' award at Finnish Game Awards 2019, while also gaining a nomination for the 'Finnish Game of the Year 2018' award.

Hu Peiquan. Hu Peiquan (; 19 June 1920 – 19 February 2019) was a Chinese engineering mechanician, aerospace engineer, and educator. He was a distinguished professor and founder of the Department of Engineering Mechanics at Northwestern Polytechnical University. He founded the Journal of Northwestern Polytechnical University and served as its chief editor for more than 60 years.

Early life and education 

Hu was born on 19 June 1920 in Wuxi, Jiangsu, Republic of China. At age 16, he was admitted to St. John's University, Shanghai, and graduated four years later with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering. He then went to the United States to study at the University of Michigan, where he earned his master's degree at age 21 and his Ph.D. in engineering mechanics at age 24.

Career 
In 1944, Hu became a researcher at the Langley Research Center of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA, the predecessor of NASA). He was promoted to senior engineer within three years, at the age of only 27.

In 1948, Hu returned to China to teach at his alma mater, St. John's University. After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the missionary St. John's University was closed in 1952 and Hu became a professor at the East China Aeronautics Institute. Four years later, East China Aeronautics Institute was relocated to Xi'an in Northwest China and then became part of the new Northwestern Polytechnical University. Hu moved to Xi'an and spent the rest of his career at the university, while his wife and daughter stayed in Wuxi.

Together with Ji Wenmei (), Hu founded the engineering mechanics department at Northwestern Polytechnical University, and it was one of the first in China. In 1961, the university established one of the first graduate programs in China, with Hu serving as director, and Zhou Yaohe as his deputy. Of the 61 students accepted into the first class of the program, two were later elected academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences or the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and many became university presidents, corporate chief executives, or chief engineers.

Hu founded the Journal of Northwestern Polytechnical University in 1957 and served as its chief editor for more than 60 years.

Death 
Hu died on 19 February 2019 in Xi'an, at the age of 98.

Disaggregated work. Disaggregated work is a work divided into its elemental activities, which can be reassembled using alternative solutions, for example by automating some of the activities and getting rid of or changing other activities. The concept can be applied on the scale of an individual, a department, a company, or an entire industry. During the Industrial Revolution, disaggregation often entailed replacing tradespeople such as blacksmiths, carpenters, and weavers with steam-powered machines operated by unskilled laborers.

Modern-day disaggregated labor market is organized via crowdsourcing internet websites or mobile apps maintained by for-profit firms acting as labor market intermediaries, like Amazon Mechanical Turk that offers work in a piecemeal fashion, or freelance services like TaskRabbit or Fiverr that offer gigs to freelance contractors. These services resemble the simplest models of labor markets, with the work relationships that became traditional during the last century being largely absent: no benefits, no medical insurance, no unions, no career concerns, and so on.

Shared workspaces

While many of the modern disaggregated jobs can be done remotely, some disaggregated workers prefer to have a semblance of an office. They are catered to by a new breed of services that provide shared workspaces and invite the workers to participate in a larger office culture, sheltering them from "a pervasive sense of alienation".

Online communities

The growth of contingent labor increased the importance of digital communication networks. As employers are distancing themselves from workers—for example through subcontractor arrangements—the workers meet in digital common spaces to "fill the information gap that characterizes disaggregated work on platforms".

Ernest Walker Simons. Ernest Walker Simons (October 11, 1848 – February 1, 1917) was the founder of the Ernest Simons Manufacturing Company of Port Chester, New York, manufacturer of shirts, sheets, and pillowcases.

Early life 
Simons was born in Ullesthorpe, Wibtoft, Leicestershire, England to James Walker Simons and Jane Ann Loveitt. He was the oldest of eight children. The family emigrated to Connecticut in 1858, eventually settling in Mamaroneck, New York.

Career 

Trained as a mechanical engineer, Simons first became involved in the manufacture of various tools and hardware at Riversville, Connecticut. In 1876, Simons joined the firm N.C. Pond & Company in a former shovel factory, making shirts on a small scale. In 1879, a partnership was formed under the name Pond, West & Simons, consisting of N.C. Pond, Marshall O. West, and Simons. In addition to manufacturing shirts, they also sold and repaired sewing machines. They built a two story frame building as their factory, soon adding a third story. After N.C. Pond left the business in 1892, the firm was renamed West & Simons, until the death of West in January 1902, when it became known as the Ernest Simons Manufacturing Company. During the latter period, a large brick factory was constructed consisting of three buildings with a floor space of 152,000 square feet, employing 800 people. The firm manufactured shirts, sheets, pillow cases, and related items for various American brands such as Fruit of the Loom, Anchor, Whitehorn, and others. During World War I, they were also contracted to produce military clothing. It was one of the largest firms of its type in the country during its operation. Many of his family members were among the board of directors during his leadership. Apart from the shirt factory, Simons was also involved as a Director with the Port Chester First National Bank.

Personal life 

On January 2, 1873, Simons married Anna Willis, daughter of Judge Anson Willis. Together they had four children. Simons was heavily involved as a trustee with the Summerfield M.E. Church in Port Chester. He was a benefactor to the YMCA, the Summerfield M.E. Church, and he also built a mission in India. He was a supporter of the temperance movement, and allowed meetings to be held at the factory. At his funeral, Bishop William F. Anderson of Cincinnati wrote a eulogy in his honor about his devotion to his religion and to charity.

AB 70-D1. The AB 70-D1 (Abwurfbehälter) was a cluster bomb dispenser used by the Luftwaffe during World War II.

Design

Weapons container 
The AB 70-D1 contained fifty high-explosive fragmentation sub-munitions, was cylindrical in shape and was made of cast steel.  The body was of clamshell design with an upper and lower half with tail fins that was hinged at the rear of the container.  The base and head of the container were internally threaded and the base of the container had a suspension lug and the nose had a steel closing plug with a fuze.      

The container could be suspended either vertically or horizontally within a bomb bay or horizontally from a hard point beneath the fuselage or wing of an aircraft.  Attached to the suspension lug there was a cord tied to a split ring which attached to a parachute.  When the bomb was dropped the parachute deployed which set off a friction igniter that threaded into the steel closing plug.  The closing plug was sheared by the explosion of a small detonator the case opened and the bombs fell out.  German documentation states that the AB 70-D1 is not entirely safe in transport and aircraft are not permitted to land with unused AB 70-D1 containers. It is also impossible to jettison the AB 70-D1 in a safe unused state for recovery and the minimum height of bomb release was .

Sub-munitions 
Two types of sub-munitions could be dispensed from the AB 70-D1 one was the German SD 1 and the other was the French SD 1 FRZ.  The SD 1 FRZ was based on captured  mortar rounds for the Lance Grenades de 50 mm modèle 37 light mortar used by the French Army which was modified by adding a new 6-fin tail assembly.  While the German SD 1 may have been based on German 50 mm mortar rounds used by the 5 cm Granatwerfer 36 which was modified by adding a new shrouded 8-fin tail assembly.  At the front of the AB 70-D1 there was one cluster of ten bombs that were held together by a metallic band and in the rear section, there were another four clusters of ten bombs also held together by metallic bands.  The bombs were packed nose to tail with the tail cup of each bomb forming a safety device for the nose fuze of the bomb behind it.  Both bomb types were loaded in the same manner.  SD 1 bombs were yellow and SD 1 FRZ bombs were yellowish-brown in color.

Forest Waste Products. Forest Waste Products is a 120-acre (49-hectare) Superfund site in Forest Township northwest of Otisville, Michigan.

This waste disposal facility was licensed by Michigan to operate as a landfill from 1972 to 1978, taking in solid and liquid industrial waste. Solid waste, including soil contaminated with hazardous chemicals, was placed in an 11-acre (4.5 hectare) landfill on site, and liquid waste was placed in nine lagoons across the site to dry out and be disposed of when only solid waste remained. Poor screening of incoming waste at the facility led to the acceptance of toxic materials. Consequently, soil and groundwater around the site were exposed to environmental contaminants like polybrominated biphenyls, polychlorinated biphenyls, lead, volatile organic compounds, copper, and zinc.

At the end of the site's operation and after its closure, citizens near the site raised concerns about these potential toxins. Forest Waste Products was initially assessed for Superfund eligibility on May 1, 1982, and proposed to be listed on the National Priorities List on December 30, 1982. The site was listed on September 8, 1983. Sampling at the site found that residential wells nearby were not contaminated, but there was evidence of toxic contaminants in nearby soil and groundwater. Shortly thereafter, the environmental remediation effort at the site began with the facility's lagoons. From 1988 to 1989, potentially responsible parties got rid of contaminated soil, water, and sludge from this part of the site and filled in the lagoons. Following the clean-up of the lagoons at the site, some drums containing toxic waste were removed from the main landfill to be treated off-site. The landfill was fenced-in and capped in 1997. In addition to these efforts, groundwater monitoring has occurred at and around the Forest Waste Products site since 1993.

The potentially responsible party at this site is Forest Waste Coordinating Committee. In 1993, Michigan entered in an Administrative Order by Consent with the committee to establish their responsibility for reimbursing the state's expenses for oversight at the site. In 1994, the Environmental Protection Agency entered into a Consent Decree with this group. As of 2017, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, and the Forest Waste Coordinating Committee agreed on the need for continued sampling and investigation at the site. Forest Waste Products remains on the Environmental Protection Agency's National Priorities List.

Thermo-Chem, Inc.. Thermo-Chem, Inc., also referred to as Thermo-Chem, is a 50-acre Superfund site located in Egelston Township near Muskegon, Michigan.

This site was used by Thermo-Chem, Inc. and the Thomas Solvent Company as a waste solvent reprocessing and storage facility. These operations resulted in pollution of groundwater and soil, with high concentrations of volatile, semi-volatile, and inorganic contaminants. Contaminated water seepage from Thermo-Chem contributed to degradation of the adjacent Black Creek Watershed.

Preliminary assessment of the site was completed in August, 1984, and the site was finalized on the National Priorities List in June, 1986. Long-term remediation efforts took place between 1996 and 2000. These efforts included debris removal; contaminated soil excavation, treatment, and removal; groundwater extraction and treatment; and soil vapor extraction. Since remediation, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has conducted multiple five-year reviews of the site, with completion of the most recent five-year review in July, 2020. The EPA has estimated the site will be ready for reuse by summer 2022. Continued maintenance and operation activities are ongoing.

Groundwater and soil contaminants determined to be (or to have formerly been) present at the site include:
