FS Class ETR 240. The  ETR 240 (; meaning Fast Electric Train, series 240) is an Italian electric multiple unit (EMU) introduced in the 1980s.

Development

In the 1930s, the Italian state railways, Ferrovie dello Stato, electrified the main line Milan-Bologna-Florence-Rome-Naples and needed a fast train to use on it and on other newly electrified ones.  The first ETR 200 was built by Società Italiana Ernesto Breda, (now AnsaldoBreda), in 1936, with three cars on four bogies, two of which had a single T 62-R-100 motor while the others were provided with two similar motors each.  The ETR 200 entered in service in 1937.  In the early 1960s the remaining sixteen ETR 200 units were converted to ETR 220 by adding a fourth car and other changes.  

The ETR 240 entered in service in the late 1980s and remained in service until the late 1990s and were used for charter trains up and in the  Civitavecchia  -Rome line.

There  were obtained by modification (mainly in interior trims and contents) of 6 of ETR220 (AV version).

Lifting equipment. Lifting equipment, also known as lifting gear, is a general term for any equipment that can be used to lift and lower loads. Types of lifting equipment include heavy machinery such as the patient lift, overhead cranes, forklifts, jacks, building cradles, and passenger lifts, and can also include smaller accessories such as chains, hooks, and rope. Generally, this equipment is used to move material that cannot be moved with manual labor, and are tools used in most work environments, such as warehouses, and is a requirement for most construction projects, such as bridges and buildings. This equipment can also be used to equip a larger number of packages and goods, requiring less persons to move material. Lifting equipment includes any form of equipment that is used for vertical lifting, and equipment used to move material horizontally is not considered lifting equipment, nor is equipment designed to support. As lifting equipment can be dangerous to use, it is a common subject of safety regulations in most countries, and heavy machinery usually requires certified workers to limit workplace injury.

Safety issues 
Failure or misuse of heavy machinery can lead to severe or fatal injury, leading regulations to be one of the largest debates in labor laws across the world. Each country sets its own regulations, and enforces different aspects of workplace safety when using lifting equipment.

In the United States 
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration sets regulations for all equipment. Contractors are forced to uphold usually strict rules to ensure safety of workers. All machinery is required to be developed by a certified engineer, contractors must follow manufacturer procedures, all users be professionally trained before operating equipment, and equipment must be inspected regularly.

In the United Kingdom 
The Health and Safety Executive sets regulations on equipment in the United Kingdom, under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations. These regulations require equipment be registered on a Statutory Inspection Report Form, is adequate for the task, be subject to routine inspection, and the use of the equipment be properly planned out.

Working load limit 

Lifting equipment can be assigned a Working Load Limit (WLL) in the interests of avoiding failure; Working Load Limit is calculated by dividing the Minimum Breaking Load of the equipment by a safety factor. WLL as a concept is not restricted to lifting, being also relevant for mooring ropes. Minimum Breaking Load is also known under the terms of Minimum Breaking Strength or Minimum Breaking Force. WLL of ropes are usually much smaller than their Minimum Breaking Load. WLL is sometimes known as Safe Working Load, but this alternative term is sometimes avoided due to giving the connotation of safety, which may not be guaranteed.

Loring Air Force Base Double Cantilever Hangar. The Loring Air Force Base Double Cantilever hangar (officially known as Building 8280) is the largest structure at the former Loring Air Force Base, now the Loring Commerce Centre. The hangar measures approximately  by  and appurtenances cover . It was built with the capability of holding five B-36 Peacemaker, or six B-52 Stratofortress aircraft. The main hangar building was built in 1954 at a cost of $4.6 million ($53 million in 2023).

Description

The hangar was constructed as one of the first hangars at the base, which opened two years prior. The building was constructed with the goal of giving the Strategic Air Command crews a place to sustain an aircraft's condition should behavior by the Soviet Union warrant an attack. It also had the added benefit of protecting the crews from the harsh Maine weather. Having the capability to house five B-36 Peacemaker aircraft was critical, as the base was originally designated to host over one hundred of these aircraft. It was also one of the first double-cantilever hangars built for the Strategic Air Command, due to a new demand for a larger and more efficient space, in contrast to the World War II-era buildings inherited on many other bases. The building has an ejected caisson foundation designed to ensure stability in the harsh conditions of northern Maine. The foundation consists of 260  diameter concrete caissons that extend down to limestone bedrock at a depth of . Longitudinal arched steel trusses that are cantilevered  at both ends from the shop supports in the center allow maximum vertical clearance. The north and south walls of the hangar each have a set of six doors that, when fully open, form a  wide opening that accommodates the full wingspan of a B-36.

Post-closure usage
After the 1994 closure of Loring Air Force Base, many of the buildings were evaluated for historical significance in the Loring AFB Historic Building Inventory and Evaluation. The hangar was one of a handful of structures on the base that were listed for possible future inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, due to its historic nature. This view was concurred by the Maine State Historic Preservation Officer and the Air Force's recommendation of the Historic American Buildings Survey. The hangar is one of several Loring AFB buildings that have new uses as components of the Loring Commerce Centre.

Enterprise report management. Enterprise report management (ERM or ERP) systems support very high-volume generation, handling and storage of reports and documents. Many ERM systems are used for online customer self-service document generation and delivery.

History

ERM started out as a technology called computer output to laser disc (COLD) based on laser discs. In 2002, Mason Grigsby, known for his seminal work with INSCI in the late 1980s, promoted a name change for the technology and pointed out that "ERM" more accurately describes the process. The use of laserdiscs was replaced by the use of other optical storage technologies and is only one of several appropriate media for computer report storage.

NBR D class 0-6-0T. The NBR D Class (LNER Class J83) was a class of 0-6-0 tank locomotives designed by Matthew Holmes for short distance freight, station pilot, and heavy shunting duties on the North British Railway.

Service history
They were introduced in 1900 and had inside cylinders and piston valves operated by Stephenson valve gear. Forty of these new Class D engines were delivered in 1900–01, twenty each from Neilson and Company and Sharp, Stewart and Company. At grouping they became LNER class J83.

The class were highly successful in service, with only three failing to complete  during their lifetime. One locomotive, No. 9830, managed to complete .

The engines were commonly seen across the entire North British Railway network, and were the second largest class of tank engines on the railway, after the NBR A class.

Numbering
On the NBR they were numbered in a sequence commencing with 795 (and are sometimes referenced as 795 class engines). A total of 40 locomotives were built, all but one of which came into British Railways (BR) ownership at nationalisation in 1948. BR numbers were 68442–68481.

Withdrawal
One locomotive was withdrawn in 1947, a year before nationalisation, but later the class were gradually displaced by diesel shunters during the 1950s, with the last withdrawn in 1962. All members of the class were scrapped, and there is no surviving example in preservation.

Models
Hornby have produced a basic model in OO gauge since 1983, though in recent years it has been relegated into their junior RailRoad range.

Turbay T-3. The Turbay T-3A was an Argentine twin-engined seven-seater light transport of the 1960s. A single example was built, but no production followed.

Development and design
In 1957, the Argentine aircraft designer Alfredo Turbay began work on a twin-engined STOL light transport, the Turbay T-3A, with Turbay S.A. formed at Buenos Aires in January 1961 to build the new design. The T-3A was a low-wing cantilever monoplane of all metal construction. It was powered by two  Lycoming O-360-A1D air-cooled four-cylinder horizontally-opposed engines driving two-bladed propellers, and was fitted with a retractable nosewheel undercarriage.

Alfredo Turbay piloted the T-3A on its first flight on 8 December 1964.  Production was planned of the T-3B, which was to be fitted with  Lycoming or Continental engines, giving improved performance. These plans did not come to fruition, with the prototype T-3B never completed, and no production occurring.

Frequency Changing Station. The Frequency Changing Station in East Central, Spokane, Washington is a building listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  It was built by the Spokane and Inland Empire Railroad in 1908 to house electrical equipment used by the electric railway.  Power was generated at the Nine Mile Falls dam and transmitted to the Frequency Changing Station.  The station provided direct current to the streetcar network within the city of Spokane.  To provide power to the rail network outside Spokane, the station converted a portion of the power to alternating current and fed it to a series of electrical substations spaced about  on the operating line.  The substations then converted power back to direct current for the streetcars, but also sold power at 110 volts AC to the communities.

The main station housed four motor-generator sets, four 1250 kilowatt transformers, three 375 kilowatt transformers, and three 75 kilowatt transformers. The east wing of the station contained a 550-volt, 275-cell storage battery.  All of this electrical equipment was removed around 1939, when the owning railroad sold the property.

The railroad connected the cities of Colfax, Washington and Moscow, Idaho to Spokane, and the electric railway figured heavily in the rapid development of the area where it passed.

In the decades since the railroad sold the property, the building has served multiple purposes. By the 1970s it was being used as storage for a boat dealership. At that time, it was renovated and turned into condominium housing. As of 2012, it is still used as housing.

Concurrent object-oriented programming. Concurrent object-oriented programming is a programming paradigm which combines object-oriented programming (OOP) together with concurrency. While numerous programming languages, such as Java, combine OOP with concurrency mechanisms like threads, the phrase "concurrent object-oriented programming" primarily refers to systems where objects themselves are a concurrency primitive, such as when objects are combined with the actor model.
