L&YR Barton Wright 4-4-0. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L&YR) Barton Wright 4-4-0 was four-coupled eight-wheeled bogie express engine which entered service in 1880.

Design and construction
Locomotive superintendent William Barton Wright ordered the first eight of the type in 1879 from Sharp, Stewart and Company for the Hellifield−Chatburn line.

Sharp Stewart supplied a further 16 in 1881 with Neilson and Company supplying 20 in 1883 and 10 in 1884, the latter having Joy valve gears. The final batches Barton Wright batches went back to link motion: 20 from Kitson and Company in 1885 and 20 from Vulcan Foundry up to 1886.  Following Barton Wright's resignation and John Aspinall's appointment, the final 16 ordered from Vulcan Foundry delivered in 1887 had 4-inch longer wheelbases between the driving wheels, Timmis springs on the eight axles, and bogie wheels reduced to  permitting straight main frames and a horizontal grate.

Subsequent developments based on the design were the Aspinall L&YR Class 2, of which 30 were ordered from Beyer, Peacock and Company with Joy valve gears and 160 psi boilers, as well as other variations, and the L&YR Class 3 with  driving wheels.

Service
The  driving wheels were suited to more challenging routes but on a non arduous route the Ramsbottom 2-4-0s could be faster.  Smaller tenders were initially necessary until bigger turntables were installed.

Most were withdrawn in the early 1900s with only two, Nos. 922 and 924 going past 1914 to be classified Class 2 by Hughes in 1919. These passed through amalgamation into the LNWR, and finally becoming London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Nos. 10100 and 10101 respectively before withdrawal in November 1930.

1887 Royal Jubilee Exhibition
One of the final Vulcan Foundry batch with 3 ft bogie wheels batch was exhibited at the Royal Jubilee Exhibition, Manchester 1887.

Science-Enabling Technologies for Heliophysics. Science-Enabling Technologies for Heliophysics (SETH) is a proposed space mission by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center to launch a small satellite that would demonstrate new technologies to detect solar energetic particles, and demonstrate an optical communication system based on laser pulses.

The Principal Investigator for SETH is Antti Pulkkinen at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

Overview

Its science payload would be a novel detector of solar energetic neutral atoms (ENA), as well as an array of waves and other Solar energetic particles (SEP) that erupt from the Sun. The instrument is called the HELio Energetic Neutral Atom (HELENA) detector. This technology could enable advanced warnings of potential space radiation threats to astronauts. Its second payload would be an optical communications technology for small satellites and CubeSats that could enable a hundred-fold increase in deep space data rates.

SETH was awarded $400,000 for nine-month mission concept studies to be presented to the Heliophysics Solar Terrestrial Probes program, which is managed by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. If selected for development, it would launch in October 2024 on a rideshare with the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP).

Dresden Plant. The Dresden Plant is a 580 megawatt (MW), natural gas power plant located south of Dresden, Ohio in Muskingum County, Ohio. The plant began operations in 2012 and is currently owned by American Electric Power (AEP).

History
The Dresden Plant was first conceived in 2000 when Dresden Energy, LLC, a subsidiary of Dominion Energy, proposed the construction of a combined cycle power plant utilizing natural gas as its energy source. Construction began in 2001, but numerous delays and rising natural gas prices made the plant uneconomical at that time. In 2007, AEP would purchase the partially built Dresden Plant from a subsidiary of Dominion for $85 million. The Dresden Plant would remain in an idle state with a skeleton crew until 2011 when AEP recommenced construction at the site. Commercial operations began on February 1, 2012. The total cost for the construction of the plant was $366 million.

Equipment
The Dresden Plant features three units. There are two, General Electric, 7FA gas turbines which are fed into heat recovery steam generators designed by Vogt-NEM and a single, General Electric, D11 steam turbine generator. Both gas turbines are equipped with LO-NOx burners and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems to reduce nitrogen oxide () emissions.

Aqareb. The Aghareb (Persian: آقارب) is an Iranian designed and built eight-wheel drive armored fighting vehicle (AFV). The Iranian armed forces categorizes the vehicle as a wheeled fire support system with inherent battlefield reconnaissance functionality. The Aqareb is based upon the chassis of the Soviet BTR-60PB. The vehicle was unveiled on the 15th of April 2015 by the then commander of the Iranian Army’s Ground Forces Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan.

Description 
The Aqareb is an Iranian development of the Soviet BTR-60PB, which the Iranian government received in 1986 from the Soviet Union. The Iranian armed forces categorizes the vehicle as a wheeled fire support system with inherent battlefield reconnaissance functionality.

It is based upon the chassis of the BTR-60PB, with the suspension raised to increase the ground clearance of the vehicle. It has a diesel-fueled engine, of unknown horsepower, with an eight-wheeled transmission. Four large road wheels are situated on either sides of the hull providing the vehicle with off-road capabilities. It has been modified to carry a standard crew of four, compared to the BTR-60PB which carries three. The Aqareb crew of four includes commander, driver, gunner and loader. The crew resides in the front and middle sections of the vehicle with the powerpack located at the rear of the chassis, like the original BTR-60PB, but with two prominent exhaust grills located at the rear.

Armor 
The front hull of the Aqareb is longer and is made of all-welded steel armor which provides protection against light arms and shell splinters. The front of the hull has two small windows which can be covered by a flap hinged at the top. The glacis plate and nose section have been modified for better ballistics protection. An armored plate is welded onto the upper reaches of the wheels which protects the suspension.

Armaments 
The primary armament of the vehicle is a 90mm caliber cannon in a 360 degree traversing power assisted turret mounted on the top of the hull which is equipped with a modernized fire control system.

The secondary armaments of the vehicle include a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun, mounted on a cylindrical outcropping located at the rear of the turret, and a 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun.

Falaq (radar). The Falaq (Persian:فلق) is an Iranian air surveillance radar system. It is a domestically upgraded and refurbished version of the Russian-made 67N6E Gamma-DE air surveillance radar. It is a 3D phased-array radar system. The system is capable of identifying all types of cruise missiles, stealth planes, unmanned aerial vehicles and ballistic missiles within a range of 400 kilometers.

The system was unveiled in Tehran on 10 August 2019, in an announcement made by the commander of Iran's Air Defense Force Brigadier General Alireza Sabahifard. Brigadier General Alireza Sabahifard stated in the announcement that the system was developed in order to counter US economic sanctions restricting Iranian access to spare parts of a previously foreign-developed system. This prompted Iranian engineers to "reconstruct" the system in a process that took 2,300 man-hours. The unveiling of the radar system came at a time of escalating tensions between Iran and United States and Europe's failing attempts at upholding its commitments to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

Name 
The Falaq radar system is named after the 113th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an. It is a brief five verse invocation, asking God (Allah) for protection and refuge from the evil of Satan.

This surah and the 114th (and last) surah in the Qur'an, an-Nās, are collectively referred to as al-Mu'awwidhatayn (Arabic for "the Refuges"), as both begin with "I seek refuge". An-Nās tells to seek God's refuge from the evil within, while al-Falaq tells to seek God's refuge from the evil from outside. Essentially, reading both of them is said to protect a person from his own mischief and the mischief of others.

Albertson and Company-Rocklin Manufacturing Company. Albertson and Company-Rocklin Manufacturing Company is a historic building located in Sioux City, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1912, the building initially housed Automatic Valve Seating Mach Co. They reorganized in 1914 and became the Sioux City Machine and Tool Company, which produced spark plugs and tire valves. The company failed four months later and the shop foreman, Frans Oscar Albertson, formed Albertson & Co. and took over the plant. During World War I they supplied 6,000 piston rings and repair tools for munition plants for Canada. Albertson never owned the building and moved his operations to another Sioux City building in 1920. The company went on to become the largest manufacturer of portable electronic and air tools in the world. They changed their name to Sioux Tools Inc., and in 1993 they became a division of Snap-On Tools. Their manufacturing facility moved to North Carolina in 2001.

Between 1921 and 1942, this building had several owners and uses. I.J. Rocklin acquired it for his company in 1942. He founded his farm equipment business in 1934 and expanded during World War II manufacturing equipment for the Chrysler Corporation, International Harvester, and Allis Chalmers. They also supplied the Chicago Ordnance District and the Tank Automotive Center at the Detroit Arsenal. Their expansion at that time included building two additional structures on the same property. After the war, they no longer need all of the space and consolidated their operations into the newer buildings while letting the 1912 structure deteriorate. Rocklin developed the Rocklinizer in the 1960s. It "applies a thin coating of tungsten or titanium carbide to industrial surfaces (like the tip of a drill bit), lending an extremely durable edge. Decades later the firm developed the MoldMender, which repairs steel molds and dies." When the company decided to move from its World War II-era buildings they chose to renovate their historic building rather than tear it down and build a new structure. Renovations began in early 2017 and were completed in August 2018. The two-story brick building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.

F-16 Aggressor. F-16 Aggressor is a video game developed by General Simulations Incorporated and published by Bethesda Softworks in 1998-1999.

Development
The game was announced in May 1998 by Virgin Interactive. In January 1999, Bethesda Softworks acquired the US publishing rights to the game. The title was developed by General Simulations Incorporated, a company founded initially as Virtek International in 1993.

Reception

The game received average reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. Adam Pavlacka of NextGen said, "F-16 Aggressor deserves high praise as a pure simulator. It accurately depicts the F-16, and it runs on an average system. If you want to train as a pilot, it's terrific. If you're looking for an enjoyable combat experience, however, look elsewhere."

Integral (train). The Integral is a diesel multiple unit (DMU) train type operated by Regiobahn GmbH on commuter services in North Rhine-Westphalia. Between 1998 and 2020, they were operated by the Bayerische Oberlandbahn on regional services between Munich, Bayrischzell, Lenggries and Tegernsee. They were built by the now defunct Jenbacher Werke.

Formation

Each Integral unit consists of five sections, formed as shown in table below. The two "FGZ" sections are suspended between the end- and intermediate cars.

Technical specifications
The trains are powered by diesel-hydraulic motors. One end car has all wheelsets powered, the other end car has only one powered wheelset. All six wheelsets use active radial steering. The trains are able to run in multiple unit formation.

History
The trains entered service in November 1998. Following problems and malfunctions, the fleet was returned to its manufacturer in Jenbach, and was overhauled, which increased their reliability.

One unit was used at the Test- and Validationcenter Wegberg-Wildenrath for testing of an anti-collision system by the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR).

The Integral trains were withdrawn by Bayerische Oberlandbahn after their last day of service on July 25, 2020, being replaced by LINT 54 units.

After their withdrawal from service in Bavaria, Integral trains were transferred to the Regiobahn GmbH in North Rhine-Westphalia, where they entered service on VRR S-Bahn line S28 in December 2020.

Texas Reliability Entity. The Texas Reliability Entity (Texas RE) is one of the six Regional Entities under North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) authority. Each Regional Entity is tasked with compliance, monitoring, and enforcement on the behalf of NERC to ensure bulk power system reliability. Texas RE was formed on January 1, 2010 to succeed Texas Regional Entity as the Regional Entity for the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). ERCOT is located in Texas, covering 75% of the state's land area and 90% of its electric load, making it the only Regional Entity that serves both a single interconnection (the Texas Interconnection) and a single state.

Users, owners, and operators within ERCOT are eligible for membership in Texas RE at no cost. Members are categorized in one of seven membership Sectors: Cooperative Utility, Generation, Load-Serving, Marketing, Municipal Utility, System Coordination and Planning, and Transmission and Distribution.

As of May 2019, Fred N. Day, IV serves as the chair of the Texas RE board of directors. W. Lane Lanford serves as the president and chief executive officer. In addition to having a board of directors as well as officers, Texas RE has a Member Representatives Committee (MRC) consisting of 11 representatives. The MRC is composed of two representatives from each Sector, with the exception of Sectors with only one corporate member, which only have one representative on the MRC. The MRC directly advises the board with respect to Texas RE's annual budgets, business plans, and funding mechanisms. It also advises the board on the reliability of the bulk power system, the development of Regional Reliability Standards and Regional Variances,  and other concerns related to Texas RE's purpose and operations.

The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) has authorized Texas RE to serve as its Reliability Monitor for the state of Texas and for ERCOT.

UAZ Jaguar. The UAZ-3907 Jaguar (officially UAZ-3907 Ягуар Jaguar) is an amphibious 4x4 created in the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant (UAZ), in 1976–1990, based on the components of the UAZ-469 4x4. The vehicle was not commercially produced.

History 
Design of an amphibious vehicle was started by designers of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant in 1976. A total of 14 were made in addition to the 1989 prototype. Cars were successfully tested and adapted for weapons. During testing the vehicle travelled on the Volga from Ulyanovsk to Astrakhan and back. However, in 1991, after losing prospective military orders following the fall of the Soviet Union, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant stopped preparations.

Design 
The design used engine, transmission, and suspension units from the UAZ-469. It had a flotation body with two hermetically closed doors, underfloor, in front of the rear axle – equipped with two propellers. The amphibious car is driven due to the rotation of the front wheels that perform the function of rudders  (This contributes proximity screws that hold out the water through an arch of the front wheels).

Variants 
UAZ-39071 БАКЛАН Baklan (Cormorant) from 1986 to 1989, under a separate contract with the USSR's Committee for State Security Border Troops, modifications were developed and with the installation of six pairs of skis, radar, radio, machine gun, and a cell for search dogs.
