N-Methylmethanimine. N-Methylmethanimine or N‐methyl methylenimine is a reactive molecular substance containing a methyl group attached to an imine. It can be written as CH3N=CH2. On a timescale of minutes it self reacts to form the trimer trimethyl 1,3,5-triazinane. N-Methylmethanimine is formed naturally in the Earth's atmosphere, by oxidation of dimethylamine and trimethylamine, both of which are produced by animals, or burning.

Production
N-Methylmethanimine can be produced in two steps from dimethylamine, by first chlorinating the nitrogen atom with solid N-chlorosuccinimide, and then treating with potassium tert-butoxide at 90°C. Also it can be formed directly by thermal decomposition.

It can also be prepared from the trimer: 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazinane by heating to .

At , trimethylamine decomposes into methane and N-methylmethanimine.

Natural occurrence
N-Methylmethanimine should be formed in the atmosphere as a result of degradation by oxidation of di- and trimethylamine. These occur at concentrations of a few parts per billion. But N-methylmethanimine cannot be detected. This is likely because it forms the trimer, gets absorbed onto particles, such as cloud droplets, and hydrolyses to form methylamine and formaldehyde.

Properties
The N-Methylmethanimine molecule has Cs symmetry. The infrared spectrum and microwave spectrum have been observed.

The bond length for C=N is 1.279 Å, and for the N-C bond it is 1.458 Å. The ∠ C=N-C is 116.6°.

The electric dipole moment is 1.53 Debye.

When heated to 535°, N-methylmethanimine decomposes to hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and methane (CH4).

Between 400 and 550°C, the cyclic amine, aziridine decomposes to a mixture of N-methylmethanimine and ethylideneimine.

CyborgNest. CyborgNest Ltd is a company headquartered in London, United Kingdom. The start-up was the first in the world to commercialise sensory enhancement technology and created a wearable which used haptic technology (vibrations) to convey information to the wearer called NorthSense. The device was released in 2017 to connect wearers to the Earth's magnetic field.

NorthSense 
In 2017 CyborgNest released the NorthSense, a miniaturized circuit board with over 200 components, with a silicone sleeve. The device was attached to the wearer's chest via steel piercings, and indicated when the wearer faced magnetic north, via a vibration. The device was inspired by a previous wearable called NorthPaw created by Sensebridge. It is unclear whether humans do, or did, possess this sense, 

The device was made in a production batch of 400 units. NorthSense was documented in some technology articles. 

The technology follows the principles of Sensory Substitution Devices (SSD), created by neuroscientist Paul Bach-y-Rita in the 1960s. SSDs are devices which translate one sense into another in order to compensate for an impaired sense. NorthSense also builds on the research of other similar haptics devices, such as the naviBelt (previously feelspace belt), which gives directional information through haptic motors around the wearer's waist. NorthSense was created using SSD principles but as a non-therapeutic device (not for medical use), transmitting non-human sensory information (the Earth's magnetic field), and therefore it is categorised as a ‘sensory augmentation’ technology.

Sentero 
CyborgNest ran an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for the Sentero (presale) in July 2020 where crowdfunders raised approximately £50,000. Sentero was allegedly delivered to 50 of its crowdfunders, however it was never officially released and production has been cancelled. Backers were offered a refund. 

Like the NorthSense, Sentero claimed that it would allow wearers to haptically feel the Earth's magnetic field (North), and also added the ability to 'sense' the direction of places and people, and feel their heartbeat.

MAN 18.2x0. The MAN 18.220 is a model of low-entry single-decker bus chassis manufactured by MAN Truck & Bus between 1998 and 2017, predominantly for the United Kingdom and Ireland. Over the course of nearly two decades of production, more than 1,000 were produced.

The model was introduced as the MAN 18.220 in October 1998 as one of the first low-floor buses on the market, with the first examples being delivered to Stagecoach Oxfordshire. The vast majority were constructed with Alexander ALX300 bodywork for Stagecoach Group, who ordered more than 500 ALX300s in total between 1998 and 2007 as the predominant low-floor single-decker bus in their fleet. In addition, a small number of 18.220s were produced for independent operators with Ikarus Polaris and Marcopolo Viale bodywork, primarily in the United Kingdom and in Ireland respectively.

An upgraded model, the MAN 18.240LF, was launched in December 2006. The first examples, fitted with East Lancs Kinetec bodywork, were delivered to Stagecoach West Scotland; these were followed by a final batch of ALX300s for Stagecoach Yorkshire, before series production of the ALX300's replacement, the Alexander Dennis Enviro300, commenced in January 2008. Stagecoach were once again the primary customer for the 18.240LF, ordering more than 300 examples with Enviro300 bodywork; the final vehicle was delivered in March 2010. In 2019, Stagecoach commenced replacing the Euro 4 MAN engines with Euro 6 Cummins ISBs in some of its 18.240s.

From October 2009, the 18.240LF was complemented by the mechanically similar MAN 18.250 in the model line-up, the only major difference being the provision of a more powerful engine, rated at 250 horsepower (an increase of ten horsepower over the base model). A total of 31 MAN 18.250s were produced, all of which were purchased by Stagecoach with ADL Enviro300 bodywork. The final 18.250 was delivered in March 2010.

A compressed natural gas-powered variant, the MAN 18.270, was introduced in November 2012; this model exclusively featured Caetano EcoCity bodywork. A total of 44 MAN 18.270s were produced before production ceased in August 2017. Arriva UK Bus were the largest customer, primarily for its North East and North West subsidiaries. Anglian Bus was the only other operator to purchase 18.270s.

The 18.220 series was succeeded by the MAN Lion's Chassis. However, this model had significantly poorer sales in the United Kingdom, with only a small number produced with Wright Meridian bodywork before MAN exited the British bus market due to falling sales.

The MAN 18.280 was sold in Australasia with TransAdelaide purchasing 76, Premier Transport Group nine and Ritchies Transport 11.

Herbert William Wood. Major Herbert William Wood  (17 July 1837 – 8 October 1879) of the Royal Engineers was an English army officer and geographer.

Life

Origins 
Herbert William Wood, son of Lieutenant-colonel Herbert William Wood of the Madras Native Infantry, was born in India on 17 July 1837. Educated at Cheltenham College, he joined the military college of the East India Company at Addiscombe in February 1854, received a commission as second lieutenant in the Madras Engineers on 20 September 1855, and, after the usual course of professional instruction at Chatham, arrived at Madras on 26 October 1857.

Military career 
Wood was at once posted to the Sagar field division under Major-general Whitlock acting against the Mutineers, and was present at the affairs of Jhigan on 10 April 1858 and Kabrai, at the Battle of Banda on 19 April, the capture of Kirwi on 6 June, the action in front of Chitra Kote, the forcing of the Panghati Pass, and subsequent action. He was promoted to be lieutenant on 27 August 1858, and continued to do duty with the column until March 1859, receiving the medal for the campaign.

After employment as executive engineer in the public works department in the North-West Provinces, Wood was transferred to Madras in 1860. He was promoted to be captain on 15 January 1864. He served as field engineer in the Abyssinian Campaign from January to June 1868, succeeding Captain Chrystie in charge of the works at Zulla, was thanked in despatches, and received the war medal. In December 1872 he was appointed to Vizagapatam, and on 24 August of the following year he was promoted to be major.

Writing 
Obtaining three years' furlough, Wood accompanied the Grand Duke Constantine's expedition, sent under the auspices of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society to examine the Amu Darya. He published in 1876 the results of his travels in an octavo volume entitled The Shores of Lake Aral, which attracted attention at the time, and which treats on the difficulties with which the Russians then had to contend in Central Asia.

Death and legacy 
Wood returned to India in June 1876, but, after serving in the Madras Presidency in a bad state of health, he was seized with paralysis and died on 8 October 1879 at Chingleput. Wood was a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and of the Royal and Imperial Russian Geographical societies, and a corresponding member of the Society of Geography of Geneva. He issued at Geneva in 1875 a short account in French of the bed of the Amu Darya.

Mongra Barrage. Built across the river Shivnath in the state of Chhattisgarh, the project of Mongra Barrage includes construction of concrete barrage helping in diverging water. The project also involves installation of 10 Radial Gates. It has a length of 182.025 M along with storage capacity of 40.15 Mcumec. Materials in construction is supplied by Anandsheel Hydraulics. The electric hoist work of 15 ton was awarded to Agro Engineers by Soma Enterprises, Pune. The construction of the barrage caused major displacement of the local villagers.  Promised compensation from the government, only few of them received it. According to local villagers, there are many people who got compensation even without their names in the list of affected people, but those who were really affected are still waiting for their turn. The residents of nearby villages of Mongra Barrage complained that even after dryness of the river, authorities do not release the water from barrage. Illegal mining has not stopped even after various complaints from the villagers.  According to the villagers, they keep on taking  rounds of government offices but no response to their complaint is provided.
