Tatai Wildlife Sanctuary. Tatai Wildlife Sanctuary () is a protected area in southwest Cambodia created in 2016, covering . Located in the Cardamom Mountains, the area is threatened by sand dredging and processing, by the filling-in of water bodies, and by land-grabbing. In 2021,  were cut from the wildlife sanctuary in a PADDD event. Local communities have been displaced into the protected area from nearby areas following the creation of the 246-megawatt Stung Tatai hydropower dam by China National Machinery Industry Corporation in 2014.

Part of the protected area forms part of the Southern Cardamom REDD+ Project (SCRP).

Project Tiger 

In 2007, the Indochinese tiger was last spotted in the country on a camera trap. In 2016, the Cambodian government declared that the tiger was "functionally extinct". In April 2023, India signed a memorandum of understanding with Cambodia to assist the country with the tiger's reintroduction. At least  of the cardamom rainforest could be used to host Bengal tigers that are imported from India.

Lobito Oil Refinery. The Lobito Oil Refinery (Portuguese: Refinaria do Lobito), is a crude oil  refinery planned in Angola. When fully operationalized, the refinery is expected to process 200,000 billion barrels, equivalent to  of crude oil on a daily basis. The oil infrastructure facility is under development by Sonangol, the national oil company of Angola.

Location
The oil refinery is located on a piece of real estate that measures , approximately  north of the town of Lobito and about  north of the city of Benguela, in the Benguela Province of Angola, along the Atlantic Ocean coast.

Background
As of October 2021, Angola was producing approximately 1,200,000 barrels of crude oil daily, with production capacity expected to increase as new fields come online. At the same time, the country spent over US$1.7 billion on oil products imports into the country annually.

The Angolan authorities plan to ramp up local refining capacity to 360,000 barrels daily in the short term. After meeting local demand, the refined oil products will be marketed to neighboring countries, with focus on the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia. Feasibility studies to build a pipeline from this refinery to Zambia, the Lobito–Lusaka Oil Products Pipeline, are ongoing as of 2022.

Ownership
The government of Angola is in search of a strategic investor to assume a controlling stake in the development project. As of July 2022, the ownership of Lobito Oil Refinery is as illustrated in the table below.

Construction
The tender for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor yielded five international consortia, who will be winnowed down in further tendering stages.

Design 1005 ship. The Design 1005 ship (full name Emergency Fleet Corporation Design 1005) was a wood-hulled cargo ship design approved for production by the United States Shipping Board's Emergency Fleet Corporation (EFT) in World War I. The ships were referred to as the "Grays Harbor"-type as all were built by the Grays Harbor Motorship Company in Aberdeen, Washington or the "Ward"-type after their designer M. R. Ward. The first ship of the class, the SS Wishkah, was listed at 2,924 gross tons with dimensions of 272.1 x 48.4 x 25.7, 1400 indicated horsepower, and carried a crew of 47. The class does not include the four Design 1116 cargo ships also designed by Ward and completed at the shipyard as they were a modified design at 3,132 gross tons and 5,000 tons deadweight. All ships were completed in 1918 or 1919. 

Of the 17 ships ordered, all were completed and delivered to the USSB.

Design 1116 ship. The Design 1016 ship (full name Emergency Fleet Corporation Design 1016) was a wood-hulled cargo ship design approved for production by the United States Shipping Board's Emergency Fleet Corporation (EFT) in World War I. As part of a larger effort to rapidly increase the country's shipping capacity, the EFT approved several standardized ship designs, including the Design 1016, which was intended to be easy to build and maintain, and to have a large cargo capacity.

All were built by the Grays Harbor Motorship Company in Aberdeen, Washington. They were referred to as the "Ward"-type after M.R. Ward, manager at the Grays Harbor shipyard.  All the hulls were laid down in 1919. The first ship of the class, the SS Adria, was listed at 3,132 gross tons with dimensions of 272.8 x 49.3 x 25.6, 1400 indicated horsepower, and carried a crew of 36.

Of the 8 ships ordered, 4 were cancelled, 3 were later completed for the National Oil Company (SS Agylla, SS Agron, SS Adria) and one (Agathon) was destroyed in a fire before completion.

Arcflash Labs. Arcflash Labs, Inc. is an American technology company which specializes in the research and development of high energy pulsed power supplies, and applications for such devices.  Its headquarters is located in Phoenix, Arizona and the company was founded in 2017 by David M. Wirth and Jason Murray, both aerospace engineers and former USAF officers. In 2018, the company developed and sold the first commercially viable electromagnetic accelerator, the EMG-01A, and in 2021 released the GR-1 "Anvil", the first coilgun with comparable energy to a firearm. Their core innovation was the clamped quasi-resonant (CQR) inverter, which allowed for the development and rapid charging of hand-held coilguns.

History 
In 2010, Jason Murray developed the first truly portable high energy coilgun, the CG-33, which was followed shortly by his development of a fully automatic handheld coilgun, the CG-42 in 2013. Working independently, David M. Wirth developed the first hand-held railgun, the XPR-1 in 2015. Shortly following this innovation, the two inventors partnered to form Arcflash Labs. Within a year, the founders established the company and offered their first coilgun, the EMG-01A for sale, and in 2020 filed a patent on the power supply that would later become the core of the GR-1. In 2022 they released an iteration on their technology the EMG-02 coilgun which was able to fire with higher energy, and which used commercial drill batteries as a power source.

Jagdbombergeschwader 34. Jagdbombergeschwader 34 "Allgäu" (Fighter-Bomber Wing 34; abbreviated as JaboG 34) was a fighter-bomber wing of the German Air Force (Luftwaffe). The wing was based at Memmingen Air Base until its deactivation in 2003. The wing last flew the Panavia Tornado IDS.

History 
The wing was first established on 29 November 1958, initially at Faßberg Air Base, until it was re-located to Memmingen Air Base the next year. The wing's first aircraft was the Republic F-84F Thunderstreak, which it flew until 1964. On 1 July 1964, the wing transitioned to the Lockheed F-104G Starfighter and was made a subordinate of the 1. Luftwaffendivision (1st Air Force Division) that same year. In March 1987, the unit began the transition to the Panavia Tornado IDS. In 1992 the wing received its byname, "Allgäu", the name of the region the unit was stationed in. On 30 June 2003, the wing was inactivated.

Nuclear sharing 
Throughout the Cold War, the wing had a dual task, both conventional and nuclear attack. As part of the nuclear sharing program, US nuclear weapons were stored at Memmingen Air Base, serviced, guarded, and in case of war activated by a US Air Force munitions support squadron (MUNSS). This was the case until 1996, when the weapons were withdrawn from the base, leaving Jagdbombergeschwader 33 at Büchel Air Base as the last unit in the German Air Force capable of delivering nuclear weapons.

Neodymium(II) bromide. Neodymium(II) bromide is an inorganic compound of neodymium and bromide.

Preparation 
Neodymium(II) bromide can be obtained via the reduction of neodymium(III) bromide with neodymium in a vacuum at 800 to 900 °C.

Properties 
Neodymium(II) bromide is a dark green solid. The compound is extremely hygroscopic and can only be stored and handled under carefully dried inert gas or under a high vacuum. In air or on contact with water, it converts to hydrates by absorbing moisture, but these are unstable and more or less rapidly transform into oxybromides with evolution of hydrogen. The compound has the same crystal structure as lead(II) chloride type.
