Detectable tape. Detectable tape or Underground warning tape is a conductive tape typically applied over buried utilities made of non-conductive materials such as plastic, fiberglass, or cement.  It is used because most utility location methods work best on conductive objects, and hence may easily miss structures made of non-conductive materials.

The tape also serves as a physical warning.  If uncovered during digging, it alerts the user to an underground object that might be damaged by further excavation.  To aid in this, it is typically colored to reflect the nature of the buried object that it is protecting.

It is common for construction specifications to mandate the use of such tape.

The conductive material in detectable tapes is typically aluminium, but there have been studies investigating replacing this with a material which is both magnetic and conductive, to make it detectable to a wider variety of utility location techniques.

Caddo and Choctaw Railroad. The Caddo and Choctaw Railroad (C&CRR) was a shortline rail carrier in Arkansas between 1907 and 1924.  It primarily served the timber industry.

History
The C&CRR was incorporated April 19, 1907, in Arkansas, for the stated purpose of constructing, owning, operating, and maintaining a railroad from Rosboro in Pike County to a point near Langley, Arkansas, also in Pike County, about 23 miles.  One source indicates the ultimate goal was to extend to Ft. Smith.  However, the route as built between 1908 and 1911 extended only from Rosboro, where it interchanged with the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway, to a point known as Cooper Junction—near the present Daisy, Arkansas— where it connected with the private trackage of its majority stakeholder, the Caddo River Lumber Company.  The line's revenue was mostly made from tonnage incident to the lumber industry, but it did also carry passengers and other freight. Its single-track, standard gauge mainline was 13.056 miles long, which with 0.962 miles of yard tracks and sidings made the entire railroad 14.018 miles in length.

The C&CRR was sold in September 1911 to the Memphis, Dallas and Gulf Railroad, and was operated by that company until April 1913 when the purchaser failed to comply with the sale agreement.  At that point the railway reverted to being an independent carrier.
A snapshot of the company's condition as of June 30, 1916 shows it with two locomotives and 44 train freight cars.  A 1919 builder's photo shows one of its engines, a Baldwin 2-6-2 Prairie-type steam locomotive, in C&CRR livery.

The railroad stopped operations in 1924.  The trackage was subsequently abandoned.

Legacy
C&CRR #11, a 2-6-2 built for the road by Baldwin, was sold to the Reader Railroad in Arkansas in 1941, and has had multiple other owners over time, ending up on static display in Riney-B Park near Nicholasville, Kentucky where it still resides.

Corinna Salander. Corinna Salander (1967) is a German physicist and engineer who has been serving as director of the German Centre for Rail Traffic Research (DZSF) since 2020.

Career

She studied physics from 1987 to 1993 at University of Kiel. She received a PhD in electrical engineering from Clausthal University of Technology in 1999. Her dissertation was on algorithms for the calculation of electromagnetic fields in rail vehicles. From 1999 to 2014, she held multiple executive positions at Deutsche Bahn, European Union Agency for Railways and Bombardier. She held a chair in rail vehicle technology () at the University of Stuttgart from 2014 to 2019. She was the first female European professor in railway transport technology. The chair was supported by Knorr Bremse und Voith Turbo GmbH. 

She gave multiple interviews about DZSF and railway transport technology to regular magazines and newspapers, for instance, Eurailpress in October 2020, to Die Zeit in Juni 2021 and to System||Bahn, a German railway magazine, in December 2021.

Life
She is married and a mother of three children. 

In 2018, she participated as one of the four expert in the Tübinger Achtbar. According to Prof. Corinna Salander, the fact that the majority of German women currently do not take up scientific and technical professions is at least partly due to their own comfort. Together with Saskia Schulz, Prof. Markus Hecht und Annette Hering, she participated in MINTeinander-Konferenz about the gender diversity issue. In Mai 2022, she participated in a F.A.Z.-podcast Women and men do not fit together with her husband Volker Looman.

Kansas City Outer Belt and Electric Railroad. The Kansas City Outer Belt and Electric Railroad (“Outer Belt”) was, despite its name, neither an electric railway nor any sort of interurban line.  It was intended to be the final link in the Kansas City, Kansas (“KCK”) area for the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient Railway (“KCM&O”) project.  However, it was never completed.

History
Work on the KCM&O, which was intended to link KCK to its closest Pacific port, Topolobampo, Mexico, had begun on several disjoined segments in July 1900.  However, because of the projected cost of building a large terminal at KCK, the northernmost segment of the KCM&O was started at Wichita, Kansas, heading south.  The Kansas City Outer Belt & Electric Railroad Company, which was formed May 20, 1902 in Kansas, was intended to furnish the entrance into KCK, along with terminal facilities for the KCM&O.  When completed, it would have been 7 miles long with extensive yards at each end, with two hundred acres of factory sites.

Toward this goal, first mortgage bonds were issued in 1903, land was leased, and work was done between 1905 and 1907 on the intended route, including construction of reinforced concrete structures such as culverts and abutments.  Operation over the line was expected to be by conventional steam power, not electric power, despite the company's name.

However, the Outer Belt fell into receivership along with the rest of the KCM&O effort in 1912.  The purchaser of the KCM&O in a 1914 foreclosure sale intended to finish the Wichita-to-KCK segment, but did not; and, the extensive land leases that had been obtained by the Outer Belt began lapsing.  An entity called the Kansas and Missouri Railway and Terminal Company, which was incorporated in Kansas on November 15, 1922, bought the assets of Outer Belt out of a subsequent foreclosure sale.  That entity, at first partially and later completely owned by the Kansas City Southern Railway (KCS), ended up with 5.56 miles of track, and began a switching operation among various other railroads on July 1. 1924.  It was merged into the KCS on July 6, 1992.

Design
The North Star 600 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a nearly plumb transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces  and carries  of ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard keel and is fitted with a Universal Atomic 2 gasoline engine for docking and manoeuvring.

The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a drop down dinette table that forms a double berth in the main cabin and an aft quarter berth on the starboard side. The galley is located on the starboard side, amidships. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove, ice box and a sink. The head is located in the bow cabin on the port side under the "V"-berth.

The design has a hull speed of .
