Tinau Hydropower Plant. Tinau Hydropower Plant (Nepali: तिनाउ जलविद्युत आयोजना, Tinau Jalbidyut Ayojana) is a run-of-river hydro-electric plant located in Rupandehi District of Nepal. The flow from Tinau River is used to generate 1.024 MW electricity.

The plant was constructed in the leadership of Odd Hoftun. It was commissioned in 1978 with two 250-kW turbine-generators with total capacity of 500-kW. The project was later upgraded to 1.024 MW in assistance from ADB. The project has 2.462 km long tunnel, underground desilting chamber, and semi-underground powerhouse. The weir is 10 m high and 63 m long. The design flow is 2.5 m3/s. The power plant was initially owned by Butwal Power Company, a private company that constructed the plant. After the expiry of licence, the ownership was transferred to Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA).

The plant had suffered damage due to flood in 1983.

Significance
The plant is considered instrumental to train Nepali Technicians/Engineers in various disciplines such as tunnelling, hydropower construction.

Culm bomb. A culm bomb (also culm ball, depending on location in Ireland) is a compressed ball of culm mixed with yellow clay as a binding agent. For roughly 400 years, culm bombs were used in Irish industries (e.g. blacksmith's forges and grain drying) and for domestic use around the major coal mining areas of Ireland (e.g. Castlecomer and Ballingarry).

In domestic use, culm bombs were often hand made by those who used them as coal finings could be bought (or found) more cheaply than buying coal. The yellow clay used to bind the culm could be dug up in a field, being common to the areas in which culm bombs were made.

When large quantities of bombs were being made the process was somewhat mechanised by using a culm crusher drawn by a horse. Otherwise, for smaller batches used by a single family the process was entirely manual, with a person wearing a strong pair of boots trampling the culm and clay mixture, which was known as "dancing the culm" as it required a person to tread the culm and clay together until it was ready to be made into bombs.

When the culm was sufficiently prepared it was hand formed into bombs, about the size of a hand grenade (hence the term bomb), and left out to dry in the sun. Bombs were then stacked on a fire started with kindling in much the same way a coal fire is sustained.

The use of culm bombs lasted well into the middle of 20th century Ireland by which time Ireland's coal seams were becoming depleted and affordable alternatives for heating the house (e.g. mass-produced peat briquettes for ranges, oil and natural gas for hot water boilers) and cooking facilities improved with natural gas and the electricity grid.

Exyte. Exyte is an international company for design, engineering, procurement, and construction in controlled and regulated environments. Its headquarters are located in Stuttgart (Germany). Exyte's core business includes solutions for the semiconductor, life sciences and chemical industries as well as Data centers. The planning and design of high-tech production plants (especially cleanrooms) are the company's main focus.

The company was founded in 1912 by Karl Meissner and Paul Wurst. For the first 50 years of its existence, Meissner + Wurst mainly produced extraction units, fans and equipment for ventilation technology. In the 1960s, Meissner + Wurst established itself as a pioneer in the development of cleanroom technology. Since the 1990s, the company expanded worldwide by extending its business areas, founding new branch offices and acquiring companies. Jenoptik took over Meissner + Wurst in October 1994 and merged it with Zander Klimatechnik AG from Nuremberg in August 1998 to form M+W Zander. The building services engineering division was spun off from the group in a management buyout under the name M+W Zander Gebäudetechnik GmbH in 2004 and was renamed Caverion Deutschland GmbH in February 2007. In 2005 the Swiss investor Springwater Capital took over M+W Zander, and in 2008 the facility management division was transferred to HSG, which belongs to the Bilfinger Group. Since then, the company has operated under the name of M+W Group, or M+W for short, and is 100% owned by the Austrian holding company Stumpf Group since 2009.

The Exyte Group was established in 2018 from a reorganization of the M+W Group. The core businesses (solutions for the semiconductor, batteries, biopharma and Life sciences as well as services for Data centers) were bundled within the Exyte Group, while all other business activities, which are mainly related to energy projects, are still conducted under the brand name M+W Group. In 2018, the company announced its plans for a public listing and that a larger minority stake would be sold via an IPO. This IPO was postponed in October of the same year due to unfavorable market conditions. In November 2022 BDT Capital Partners agreed to acquire a significant share of Exyte. In March 2024, it was announced Exyte had acquired the Phoenix, Arizona-headquartered delivery systems and contract manufacturing services company, CollabraTech Solutions for an undisclosed amount.

Nicholson Junior KN-2. The Nicholson Junior KN-2 was a low power, high wing, two seat, cabin monoplane intended for sport or flight training in the United States in the late 1920s. Only one was built.

Design and development

The Junior KN-2 (KN came from the initials of builder Kenny and designer Nicholson) was a high wing monoplane with 5° of sweep and 1.5° of dihedral. The fabric-covered wings used the popular, flat-bottomed Clark Y profile and were built around laminated spars, aluminium alloy (Hyblum) ribs and steel tube drag struts. The ailerons were of the Frise type and had dural structures.  The wings could be folded for transport or storage.

The fuselage was a Chromium-Molybdenum steel tube structure of Warren truss form and was fabric-covered. The engine was nose-mounted, with a choice between the Continental A40 flat four and the Szekely SR-3 three cylinder radial engines. Both provided about  . The Junior's two seat cabin was under the wing and provided two side-by-side seats with dual control. Behind the wing the fuselage tapered to the tail with the tailplane mounted on top, wire-braced from a triangular fin which carried a broad and largely straight-edged rudder.

The Junior's landing gear was fixed and conventional, with a long tailskid. It had Goodyear Airwheel mainwheels, with large, low pressure tyres on split axles with  semi-oleo landing struts from the upper fuselage longerons and drag struts from the lower longerons. The wheeled undercarriage was designed so it could be easily replaced by floats.

Its benign flight characteristics had been established by June 1931 but with the Great Depression deepening, only one was completed.
