Carbon neutrality in India. Carbon neutrality in India refers to reducing India's greenhouse gas emissions to the point where carbon emissions are neutral compared to the absorption of carbon dioxide, and often called "net zero". Like the European Union, United States and countries worldwide, India has implemented carbon neutrality measures and law reform at both federal and state levels: 
 India has set a goal of reducing carbon emissions by 50% by 2030 and for the entire economy to be net zero by 2070.
 The Energy Conservation (Amendment) Act 2022, which empowers the central government to specify a carbon credit trading scheme.
 The Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), which set out India's emissions reduction targets for 2030.
 The Long-Term Low-Carbon Development Strategy (LTLEDS), which outlines India's long-term vision for decarbonisation.
 The Sustainable Energy Policy, which sets out the government's policies to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency.

Operational history
In a 2009 review, Yachting Monthly reported, "André Bénéteau launched this design in 1973 – the first cruising yacht of any size produced by his company. She was a long-keeled, wheelhouse motorsailer and was, in some ways, ahead of her time."

In a 2023 SailBoats News used boat review, Emmanuel Van Deth wrote, "the particularity of this design is that it is resolutely classic with its ketch rig, its long keel and its interior wheelhouse. Nevertheless, this model has its own personality and still pleases, more than 40 years after its launch! Comfortable, it allows life on board. But the performance under sail is limited. The powerful engine is logically appreciated ...  But what is missing? Modern appendages, an open cockpit, a modern rig - everything!"

Vesta (rocket). The Vesta sounding rocket, conceived in 1962 by the Laboratoire de Recherches Balistiques et Aérodynamiques (LRBA), a specialized French Army research facility focused on liquid-propelled rocket development. The initial letter "V" in its name is derived from the city of Vernon.

It was the outcome of an initiative by CNES with the purpose of enabling transportation of more substantial experiments to greater altitudes than the Véronique sounding rocket, also created by the LRBA and in active service at the time.

Technical details 

Operated by a 160 kN thrust engine using a combination of nitric acid and turpentine as propellants, the Vesta rocket was 10.2 meters tall with a diameter of 1 meter. Weighing 5.1 tons excluding its payload, Vesta had the capability to send a 500 kg to an altitude of 400 km.

Launches 
Between 1965 and 1969 a total of five Vesta rockets were launched. These launches took place from both CIEES and Kourou. The first two launches primarily served as validation tests for the rocket's operation, whereas the subsequent three carried out scientific experiments.

A pig-tailed macaque named Martine was launched on March 7, 1967, and another named Pierette on March 13. These suborbital flights reached  and , respectively. Martine became the first monkey to survive more than a couple of hours after flying above the international definition of the edge of space. (Ham and Enos, launched earlier by the United States, were chimpanzees).

Honeywell System 700. The Honeywell System 700 is a family of discontinued 16-bit minicomputers from Honeywell, Inc..

The System 700 was introduced in 1972 and was intended for use as "key elements in a complete functional system rather than as small 'bare bones' central processors."

As announced, the line comprises eight systems. Two systems use the older Honeywell 316 processor, and either the OP-16 or the BOS operating systems. The remaining six systems use the newer 716 processor, and the OS/700 operating system, which can be either disk- or memory-resident, or OP-16 or BOS. Systems came pre-configured as "a terminal control system, a peripheral control system, a multi-purpose system, a batch processing system, two sensor-based systems, a remote line concentrator and a remote message concentrator." A minimal system had a monthly rental as low as $1000 per month (), or could be purchased for $30,000 ().

"Both hardware and software place emphasis on the real-time processing required for process control, data collection, and data communications environments."

Processor
The 716 processor in the System 700 is backwards-compatible with the 316 and 516 processors, but adds features unavailable in these older processors. It is 20% faster than the DDP-516 and more than twice as fast as the H316.

Users
The System 700 was the standard remote terminal for the US military's Worldwide Military Command and Control System (WWMCCS) systems, which were built around Honeywell 6000 series mainframe systems.

Danapur-Bihta Elevated Road. Danapur-Bihta Elevated Road is an under construction elevated road in Bihar. The 21 km road will be four-lane  and is claimed to be the longest elevated road in East India. The road will have a 600-metre-long tunnel for entry of vehicles in the proposed civil enclave at Bihta Air Force Station. The project also proposed construction of ramps at four places- Danapur,  Shivala Mor,  Bihta airport link and Bihta-Sarmera bypass. The road will connect Patna to Bihta Airport via the Danapur railway station and Shivala Chowk.

History
In October 2019, Central Government  decided that it will bear construction cost of the elevated road, while the Government of Bihar will bear the land-acquisition cost for the projects. The road project was sanctioned by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) as part of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's package to Bihar, ahead of 2015 Bihar Legislative Assembly election. It will be constructed at the cost of Rs 3,737.51 crore. In September 2023, Ceigall YFC Agency (L-1) was selected as the construction firm to execute the elevated project. Second time, the tender was open and 10 agencies participated  in that. Ceigall YFC Agency won the bid by proposing the build the road Rs 1969.39 crore.

Route
The elevated road will start near Danapur Divisional Rail Manager (DRM) office and culminate at Koilwar. The road will have four bypasses between Shivala and Bihta-Neoraganj, Painaal, Kahnaili and Bisunpura. As part of this project, 4-km-long four-lane road will be constructed from Bihta to Koilwar as part of the project.

Of its total 20 km length,  would be elevated. The elevated portion will terminate at the junction of the Bihta-Sarmera Road near Kanhauli village. From that junction, the road will go up to the Bihta chowk besides connecting the Bihta Airport; it would again be elevated at the Bihta chowk.

Land Acquisition
For the construction of this road, 64.1509 acres of land will be acquired by the district administration. In this, 20 acres of land belongs to Government of Bihar and railways. The process of taking NOC from the Railways is going on near Danapur station. 45 acres of land will be acquired by Government of Bihar in  Neora, UsariKhurd, Khedalpura, Painathi, Kothian and Parsa Mauza of Neora and Bihta.
