Joaquín Barañao. Joaquín Barañao Díaz (Santiago, Chile, January 6, 1982) is a Chilean writer and podcaster, who specialized in books and podcasts about history. Specifically on freak fun facts about different topics.

Biography 

Barañao attended to Colegio San Ignacio El Bosque (1987–1999) and then civil engineering at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (2000-2006), where he got a degree in hydraulic engineering.

Career 

His first job was as an advisor to Andrés Allamand, then senator of the XVI district (2006–2010). Then worked in the government of Sebastián Piñera, first in the President's cabinet and later in the cabinet of the undersecretary of the interior, Rodrigo Ubilla, coordinating the reform of the migratory legislation (2011–2014). He has provided advice on matters related to the Chile/Argentina 2030 Strategic Forum project.

Writer 
His first book started to take form in 2003, when he began compiling anecdotes and curious facts in a website. Only eleven years later, in December 2014, he published his first book on Amazon.com Historia universal freak (A Freak World History), which a year later was released in paperback by Planeta Group. The book narrates the history from the Big Bang to the present, through curious facts. The first volume remained 20 weeks in the El Mercurio non fiction bestselling list . A second volume of the work, was published in December 2016 and remained in the aforementioned list for seven weeks.

Historia freak del fútbol (A Freak History of Soccer) was released in May 2016, and appeared three weeks in the same ranking. In June 2017, that book was rewarded by the Instituto de Historia y Estadística del Fútbol Chileno as the best soccer book of the year.

In July 2017 was released Historia freak de la música (A Freak History of Music), point at which Barañao declared that his next projects were a book about the history of film for 2018, and then another one about the history of Chile. Historia Freak de la Música was in the bestselling list for two weeks.

Style 
Barañao concentrates long periods of time in middle-sized books, originating text of very high density of information and numerous curiosities, each of which is contains a bibliographic reference. The general tone is playful, ironic and irreverent, with continuous references to humour and sarcasm Barañao acknowledges in his work the influence of the writer Bill Bryson.

Aichi Museum of Flight. is an aviation museum located in Toyoyama, Aichi Prefecture. It was set up next to the Airport Walk Nagoya which was renovated from the former international terminal in the southwestern part of Nagoya Airfield.

Overview 
At the Nagoya airfield, "Nagoya Airport Aviation Space Center" was established as an exhibition facility, but closed at the prefecture airport due to the opening of Chubu International Airport on October 31, 2004, some of the exhibits will be in the Shinmei Park. It was relocated to a well-maintained aircraft boon.

Aichi Prefecture is undertaking to nurture and promote the aerospace industry in response to the designation of "Asia No. 1 Aerospace Industry Cluster Formation Special Zone" in the International Special Strategy Comprehensive Special Zone, and around the Nagoya Aerodrome have long since been Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Nagoya Aerospace Systems In addition to the location of the manufacturing factory (Nagoya), Mitsubishi Aircraft is constructing a new MRJ final assembly plant, which is the aircraft development and production base. From being expected as a place for human resource development and industrial tourism in the future, the prefecture will hold "Air Museum Field" as a "prefectural Nagoya Airport visitor base visiting facility maintenance project" at a press conference on May 15, 2015 we announced to construct.

In the concept, in order to make the area around the airport a base for industrial sightseeing in the aeronautical field, based on Seattle, home of Boeing and Toulouseas the headquarters of Airbus, exhibits aimed at aircraft as a facility for visitors maintain the facility "Aichi Aviation Museum" which is scattered in the periphery and accumulated aircraft industry/tourism resources and core facilities cooperate, "MRJ mass production factory tour", "airport facility background tour", "MHI historical room exploration tour", "JAXA Visit Tour", "Self Defense Force Base Tour", "Shooting Spot · Tour" etc., and plan to utilize the whole area as a field museum for school education, human resource development and industrial tourism.

Designated managers selected Nagoya Airport Building, which operates as the airport terminal buildings. It opened on November 30, 2017, and entered into a cooperative alliance with the Seattle Aviation Museum in the USA. The number of visitors is about 650,000 a year at the beginning of the opening, and thereafter aims at about 350,000 people per year. You can get discounts on the products and services of Nagoya Airport Walk by boarding pass (entrance ticket) of the Aichi Aviation Museum.

Effects of flooding on skin. In the event of a flood, many residents and emergency personal are exposed to unclean water, which can result in several different types of skin conditions. Flood waters contain pathogens and chemicals from coming in contact with raw sewage, oil, gasoline, and household chemicals such as paints (sometimes lead based) and insecticides. A major concern is large scale, unintentional release of contaminants from industrial, superfund, or agricultural sites. The unknown severity of floodwater contamination can raise concerns for skin infections, inflammation, as well as psychological stress-related skin diseases.

Dermatological manifestations

Communicable diseases 
Both bacterial and fungal skin infections have been reported after floodwater exposure. The risk of infection is increased with traumatic injury to the skin and also in people with certain underlying conditions such as diabetes, chronic venous insufficiency and immunosuppression. Staphylococcal and Streptococcal organisms remain the most common causes of superficial infection after a flooding event. Exposure to floodwaters is associated with increased risk of infection from atypical bacteria such as vibrio vulnificus and mycobacterium marinum when exposed to saltwater and aeromonas when exposed to contaminated freshwater. People with liver cirrhosis or immunosuppression are at an increased risk of developing severe disease with vibrio and aeromonas infections. Fungal infections such as tinea corporis have also been reported especially in warm humid climates.

Contact dermatitis 
Contact dermatitis occurs when the skin comes into contact with chemicals that cause a reaction, often redness, swelling or itchiness. Flood water often contains chemicals such as pesticides, bleach, and detergents from industries or households that can cause such a reaction.

Traumatic injuries 
Flood water can increase the potential risks for traumatic injuries from concealed objects picked up in the water. This includes sharp objects (metals, glass, sticks), rocks, electrical hazards (broken power lines) and animals that can be displaced from the flood waters.

Other manifestations 
Additionally, psychological stress associated with a flooding event can lead to psycho-emotional aggravated primary skin disease, which exacerbates pre existing skin diseases such as: atopic dermatitis, alopecia areata, and psoriasis.

Prevention 
In systems already stressed by the natural disaster, the potential morbidity associated with skin infections or reactions can be life-threatening and is preventable with limited-exposure and post-exposure safety measures are taken. 

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations:

 Avoiding contact with flood waters if one has an open wound.
 Covering clean, open wounds with a waterproof bandage to reduce the chance of infection.
 Keeping open wounds as clean as possible by washing well with soap and clean water.
 If a wound develops redness, swelling, or oozing, one should seek immediate medical care.

Bujagali–Tororo–Lessos High Voltage Power Line. Bujagali–Tororo–Lessos High Voltage Power Line is a high voltage electricity power line, under construction, connecting the high voltage substation at Bujagali, in Uganda to another high voltage substation at Lessos, in Kenya.

Location
The power line starts at Bujagali Hydroelectric Power Station, in Jinja District, as a 220kV high voltage power line. From here, the line travels to the eastern Ugandan town of Tororo, a distance of about . At Tororo, the voltage is stepped up to 400kV, and the line travels in that state, through the town of Eldoret, to Lessos, in Nandi County, a total distance of approximately .

Overview
This power transmission line connects the electricity grid of Uganda to that of neighboring Kenya. It is in line with The Nile Equatorial Lakes Subsidiary Action Program (NELSAP), Interconnection of Electric Grids Project, led by Regional Manager, Grania Rubomboras.

The power line satisfies Uganda's need to export electricity to Kenya. It also satisfies Kenya's need to sell electricity to Uganda and the countries to the west of Kenya, including Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Construction in Uganda
The Bujagali–Kenya border section is jointly funded by (a) the government of Uganda (GoU), (b) the African Development Bank (AfDB), and (c) the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). As of May 2019, the construction was on hold, as a new EPC contractor was being sought. Plans are underway to energize the Bujagali to Tororo section in Uganda to 400kV. As of August 2024, construction was at 70 percent complete at the 220kV level.

Construction in Kenya
The Lessos–Uganda border section is jointly funded by the government of Kenya and the African Development Bank, at an initial cost of KSh2.3 billion. Construction is ongoing, with commercial commissioning, expected in December 2019. As of August 2024, the work on the Kenyan section of this line was stalled at about 50 percent at the 400kV level due to contractor issues.

Namhung Line. The Namhŭng Line is an electrified standard-gauge secondary line of the Korean State Railway in South P'yŏngan Province, North Korea, running from Maengjungri on the P'yŏngŭi Line to Namhŭng.

A maintenance facility for the diesel shunting locomotives that move freight cars between Namhŭng Station and the chemical complex was opened just east of the station in 2009-2010.

History
The line was opened by the Korean State Railway in 1976 to serve the Namhŭng Youth Chemical Complex. The line was electrified sometime between 2006 and 2010.

Services
Though the bulk of the freight traffic on this line is to and from the chemical complex, it also serves the Anju No. 121 Paper Factory located just west of the chemical complex.

Within the Namhŭng Youth Chemical Complex itself, the sodium bicarbonate plant, the urea fertiliser plant, the polyethylene sheeting plant, a tank farm for storage of liquid chemicals, and the polyester spinning factory are all served by rail. The anthracite gasification plant which was opened in 2013 is also rail-served, receiving anthracite coal for processing via a dedicated railyard.

Route
A yellow background in the "Distance" box indicates that section of the line is not electrified.

Thomas Grendon and Company. Thomas Grendon and Company was an engineering company established in 1835 based in Grendons Foundry and Engineering Works, South Quay, Drogheda, Ireland.

Employing up to over 600 people, it was first forced to close in the late 1880s with contents sold in an auction in October 1890.

Products

It produced a variety of products - from small to large. This included the manufacture of locomotives and bridges, as well as some shipbuilding.  In the 1860s, the foundry produced the diving bell used in the extension of Dublin Port, which is now on display on Sir John Rogerson's Quay.

Bridges

The firm was a noted bridge builder, and its works included the 1869 lattice iron Obelisk Bridge over the River Boyne and Dominic's Bridge in Drogheda in 1863.

Locomotives

Between 1845 and 1885 the company produced about 50 locomotives, mostly for the Irish Broadguage system but also at least one for Brazil.

Reopening

The foundry was re-established in 1914 as the Drogheda Ironworks and had employment for up to 70 people until closure in 1970.

History of computer hardware in Bulgaria. This article describes the history of computer hardware in Bulgaria. At its peak, Bulgaria supplied 40% of the computers in the socialist economic union COMECON. The electronics industry employed 300,000 workers, and it generated 8 billion rubles a year. Since the democratic changes in 1989 and the subsequent chaotic political and economic conditions, the once blooming Bulgarian computer industry almost completely disintegrated.

Computer models
In the 1980s, Bulgaria manufactured computers according to an agreement within the COMECON:

Mainframes
IZOT series and ES EVM series (abbreviation from Edinnaya Sistema Elektronno Vichislitelnih Machin, or Unified Computer System — created in 1969 by USSR, Bulgaria, Hungary, GDR, Poland and Czechoslovakia).

Personal computers
 IMKO, Pravetz-82/8M/8A/8E/8C — an 8-bit machine (Apple II clones), based on Bulgarian-made 6502 variants, Pravetz-16/16A/16H/286 (16-bit) — IBM PC clones based on i8088(V20)/286.
 IZOT 1030 — based on East German-made U880 (a Z80A clone), IZOT 1036C - IBM PC compatible based on i8086, IZOT 1037C - IBM PC/XT clone based on i8088.

For example, the Pravetz-8M featured two processors (primary: Bulgarian-made clone of 6502, designated SM630 at 1.018 MHz, secondary: Z80A at 4 MHz), 64 KB DRAM and 16 KB EPROM.

Production facilities
The largest computer factory was some  from Sofia, in Pravetz. Another big facility was the plant "Electronika" in Sofia. Smaller plants throughout the country produced monitors and peripherals, notably DZU (Diskovi Zapametyavashti Ustroistva — Disk Memory Devices) — Stara Zagora made hard disks for mainframes and personal computers.
