Network Installation Manager. Network Installation Manager (NIM) is an object-oriented system management framework on the IBM AIX operating system that installs and manages systems over a network. NIM is analogous to Kickstart in the Linux world. NIM is a client-server system in which a NIM server provides a boot image to client systems via the BOOTP and TFTP protocols. In addition to boot images, NIM can manage software updates and third-party applications. The SUMA command can be integrated with NIM to automate system updates from a central server and subsequent distribution to clients.

NIM data is organized into object classes and object types. Classes include machines, networks and resources while types refer to the kind of object within a class, e.g., script or image resources.

Kandla–Bhatinda Oil Pipeline. Kandla–Bhatinda Oil Pipeline (KBPL) was started in 1993 and it was commissioned in 1996. It is the largest oil pipeline in India. However, the first engineering firm to work on the project, Škoda Export, did not complete the job and fresh bids had to be taken in 1996. The total length is 1443 km with a capacity of 6.0 million tonnes per year. It was recommissioned later the same year. The pipeline transports oil brought into India to consumers of North India which is land locked. The pipeline is owned by Indian Oil Corporation. Initially, it was a product pipeline. Now it is a crude oil pipeline from Kandla to Panipat and subsequently it is a product pipeline up to Bhatinda.

Due to increasing demand for petroleum products in the North-West region of the country in the late 1990s, the pipeline capacity was scheduled to be increased to 8.8 MMT by May 2000.
now, Kandla-Bhatinda pipeline is known as Mundra panipath pipeline
The 1194 km long Mundra Panipat Pipeline was commissioned to transport crude oil from Mundra on the Gujarat coast to IndianOil's refinery at Panipat in Haryana. The pipeline consists of a 74 km long pipeline from Mundra to Kandla which was hooked up to the existing system of Kandla-Panipat section of Kandla-Bhatinda Pipeline at Churwa near Gandhidham. The pipeline utilizes Gujarat Adani Port's Single Point Mooring (SPM) offshore crude oil terminal facilities and associated offshore and onshore pipelines. The crude oil tank farm consists of 12 crude oil storage tanks with total capacity of 0.499 MMT at Mundra.

Escravos GTL. Escravos GTL is a gas to liquids (GTL) project based in Escravos region, Nigeria. It is located in the Niger Delta about  southeast of Lagos.  The plant converts natural gas into liquid petroleum products.

History
A pre-feasibility study of Escravos GTL was conducted in April 1998, followed by an engineering feasibility study.  The Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) was completed in 2002.  At the same year, agreements between Sasol, Chevron Corporation and Nigerian National Petroleum Company were signed.  The construction contract was awarded in April 2005 to a consortium of JGC, KBR and Snamprogetti.

Description
The GTL plant cost US$10 billion and started up in summer 2014; its original cost started out at US$1.9 billion in 2005,  rising to US$5.9 billion in 2009 but continued to escalate.  It has an initial capacity of  of synfuel. The plant uses the Fischer–Tropsch process technology and Chevron's ISOCRACKING technology.

More than 325 million cubic feet of natural gas are converted daily by the Escravos GTL facility into GTL diesel and GTL naphtha. The CNL Escravos Gas facility Phase I (EGP-1) and the GTL facility are next to each other.

Partners
The project was developed by Chevron Nigeria Limited (75%) and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (15%).  Sasol gained interest in the project early on, acquiring half of Chevron Nigeria's stake; however, due to increased cost and delays, Sasol reduced its stake to 10% in late 2008.

Beaujon Mach .07. The Beaujon Mach .07 is a single-seat, American high-wing, tractor configuration ultralight aircraft. The aircraft is available as plans from Beaujon Aircraft of Ardmore, Oklahoma.

Development
Designed by Herbert Beaujon, the Mach .07 is named for its top speed of . Beaujon Aircraft publishes the plans along with six other designs in book form under the name How to Build Ultralights.

The Mach .07 was specifically designed to comply with the United States ultralight category and its FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules, including the category's maximum  empty weight.

With the specified  250 cc Zenoah G-25  powerplant the aircraft has an empty weight of .

Reviewer Andre Cliche says:

Design
The aircraft's wing and tail structure are built from aluminum and are covered in aircraft fabric. The wing is strut-braced. The Mach .07 uses no structural cables in its construction. The conventional landing gear features a steerable tail wheel attached to the rudder.

The controls are two-axis, with a side-stick that laterally activates the rudder to induce roll and which longitudinally activates the elevator for pitch control. No rudder pedals are installed and the wing construction is greatly simplified by the elimination of ailerons.

The open frame fuselage consists of 6061T6 aluminum tubing and a single open pilot's seat. The powerplant is installed at the front end of the aircraft tailboom tube, above the pilot. Standard fuel capacity is .

Guandu River (Rio de Janeiro). The Guandu River is a river of Rio de Janeiro state in southeastern Brazil. This river together with the Paraíba do Sul River are the most important in the Rio de Janeiro state.

The river supplies water to 9 million people in Greater Rio de Janeiro.
Many tributaries of the river rise in the  Mendanha State Park, created in 2013.
An aqueduct carries the water across the Pedra Branca State Park  to Rio's south zone.

Pollution
Guandu river is heavily polluted since it receives everything from raw sewage to industrial waste throughout its course.

The pollution problem is so serious that it threatens the water supply of the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area. CEDAE, the water and sewer company of the state, recognizes that the problem is very serious. CEDAE also admits that because of the high levels of pollution, purification of Guandu's waters is a challenge.

Petoscope. A Petoscope is an optoelectronic device for detecting small, distant objects such as flying aircraft. The design, as described in 1936, consisted of an instrument with two parallel light paths. In each path was a collimating objective lens, a screen marked with many small, alternating opaque and transparent squares in a chequerboard pattern, and a second concentrating lens focused on a photocell. The two screens were inverted with respect to each other. This caused a small object in the instrument's field of view to produce differing signals in the two photocells, while a large object affected both light paths equally. The difference between the two signals was amplified and used to raise an alarm. At the beginning of World War II, the device was adapted for use in proximity fuses for bombs.

The inventor was Alan S. Fitzgerald of Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., a Research Associate in Electrical Engineering at Swarthmore College.

Componium. The componium is a mechanical musical instrument constructed in 1821 by Dietrich Nikolaus Winkel (Lippstatt, Germany, 1777Amsterdam, Netherlands, 1826) that composes novel music. It is an automatic organ consisting of two barrels that revolve simultaneously. The barrels take turns performing two measures of randomly chosen music while the other, silent, slides horizontally to select the next variation.  A roulette-like flywheel chooses whether or not the next variation is selected. The instrument plays an 80 measure piece, with eight variations for every two measures.

The componium's compositional power is thus limited to new combinations of the music provided in its barrels.

This instrument is believed to have copied some features of Johann Nepomuk Mälzels panharmonicon, but added the aleatoric composition feature.
 
The componium, in a rather bad shape now, is in the collection of the Brussels Museum of Instruments.
