VZ Editor. VZ Editor (VZ,  or , ) is a proprietary text editor developed by a computer programmer  for DOS. It was initially developed for the Japanese PC-98 computer series, and published as  by PC World Japan in 1987. It was rebranded as VZ Editor by Village Center, Inc, in 1989, and added support for other Japanese computer platforms. Its features include small size, smooth scrolling, file manager, enhancements for a command-line, advanced customizing and automated macro operations.

History 
In 1984, Hyodo went work for Hitachi after graduating the Nagoya Institute of Technology, and developed a text editor for the Hitachi S1 personal computer. In 1985, he purchased the NEC PC-9801 U2, and developed a text editor for himself to write programs on that machine. After Hitachi dissolved the development team of S1, Hyodo left the company, and worked for video game development. In 1987, he released his text editor as EZ Editor which was sold by a computer magazine publisher, PC World Japan. In 1989, the publisher faced financial problems, so Hyodo requested another publishing company, Village Center, to distribute his software.

VZ Editor offered a reasonable price in comparison with other commercial software. It priced at 9,800 yen while the biggest competitor, MIFES, priced at 38,000 yen. ASCII magazine wrote in 1991 that "Its TSR mode and file manager are useful. Also, its operability and functions are refined". VZ Editor was entirely written in assembly language because Hyodo was used to writing in assembly language rather than C language. This enhanced speed of program operations. He stated it was not his intention but an inevitable result of minimal coding.

VZ Editor sold 175,000 copies by 1992. It was voted the best PC software in Japanese computer magazines, ASCII (Best 5 Software Recommended by Subscribers; 1992 and 1993) and Nikkei Byte (The Best Utility Software; 1991 and 1992, The Best Editor Software; 1993 and 1994).

Despite its popularity, Hyodo stated in 1993 that he wouldn't offer a new major version nor a Windows version. If the program size become bigger, the macro buffer become smaller, and existing macros cannot run. He concluded there was no way to add a new function. Also, he stated "Anyone casually say they want the Windows version of VZ, but I never plan to bring VZ to Windows. To achieve it, I think it should break its past. VZ is designed for DOS". In January 1994, the last version of VZ Editor was released. He stated in an interview that "The development of VZ has already become my past job. If I create a new software in the future, I need to learn Windows and C++. At present, I don't have the energy to do that".

On November 26, 2024, Hyodo made the source code of VZ Editor version 1.6 available to public under the 3-clause BSD license.

BBÖ 729. The BBÖ 729 was a class of 26 Austrian 4-6-4T locomotives designed to haul fast passenger trains for the Federal Railway of Austria (Bundesbahnen Österreichs, BBÖ).

History 
.After the First World War, with a smaller Austria, the BBÖ wanted to use tank locomotives for express trains in order to save the fees for turning locomotives on foreign turntables for services to border countries. However, the Südbahn 629 series was too weak for these tasks and their fuel and water capacities were too small, so that they had to be supplemented at great expense abroad.

To remedy this, the head of the BBÖ construction department, Alexander Lehner, together with the Lokomotivfabrik Floridsdorf, designed a 2′C2′ h2t (4-6-4, superheated 2-cylinder, tank) locomotive, designated 729 series. The design used the boiler from Südbahn 109 series (BBÖ 209), while the bogies, wheels, drive and valve gear came from the 629 series. The locomotives had Lentz valve gear and Heinl mixer-preheaters.

Six were delivered in 1931 and four more in 1932. In 1936, six copies with Nicholson thermic syphons were reordered, the changed dimensions of which are shown in the table. The BBÖ not only used the locomotives on the originally intended border routes, they also hauled light express trains on the 300 km long western line between Salzburg or Linz and Vienna, such as the Orient Express, the Arlberg-Orient Express and the Ostend-Vienna-Express. A third order comprising ten locomotives had already been delivered to the Deutsche Reichsbahn, which classified the machines as the 78.6.

The series survived the Second World War without losses and was designated series 78 by the ÖBB. Equipped with a Giesl ejector and front-end throttles, they were in use until 1973.

Preserved examples 
The 78.606 is owned by the Austrian Railway Museum. After several years as a memorial in Amstetten, it was transferred to the Strasshof Railway Museum in summer 2012.

78.618 was acquired in 1976 by the Austrian Society for Railway History (Österreichische Gesellschaft für Eisenbahngeschichte, ÖGEG) as its first standard-gauge steam locomotive and, in the years up to 1986, was refurbished to be operational on a voluntary basis by association members. After a new general inspection in 2008, it was ready for operation in the Ampflwang locomotive fleet. Since a serious engine failure in March 2019, it can be viewed there as a partially dismantled exhibit. A renewed commissioning is not foreseeable for the time being. The 78.625 was also purchased as a spare part donor, but this machine is only preserved in fragments.

Computerised Pilot Selection System. The Computerised Pilot Selection System is used for screening candidates into the flight branch of the Indian Air Force.  It replaced the earlier pilot selection test named Pilot Aptitude Battery Test (PABT). It was originally conceived by then Scientific Advisor to the Prime Minister Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam with a view to adopt a better tool for conducting pilot aptitude test in consonance with the modern aircraft of the IAF. It has been developed jointly by Aeronautical Development Establishment, Bangalore and Defence Institute of Psychological Research, Delhi.

Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind. The Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) is an offshore wind energy project located  about 43 km (27 mi) off the coast of Virginia Beach, Virginia, U.S. The initial phase, a two-turbine, 12-MW pilot project constructed in 2020, is the second utility scale offshore wind farm operating in the United States (after Block Island Wind Farm). Dominion Energy and Ørsted US Offshore Wind collaborated on the project, which is estimated to have cost $300 million and is expected to generate enough electricity to power up to 3,000 homes. It is the first utility scale wind farm serving Virginia and the first built in U.S. federal waters, in a wind lease area that covers about 2,135 acres (3.3 sq mi).

Pilot project
The Virginia Offshore Wind Technology Advancement Project (VOWTAP) was a program to explore offshore wind farms in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Virginia. Dominion Virginia Power was awarded $4 million in 2012 and $47 million in 2014 from the United States Department of Energy (DOE) to help fund the construction of a 12-megawatt demonstration project, consisting of two 6-megawatt offshore wind turbines. It intended to have them in full operation in 2017, but the project was withdrawn from the DOE project since the single bid for construction was too high and other funding requirements were not met. Some exploratory boring off the coast had taken place.

The eventual pilot project was built by Ørsted US Offshore Wind for Dominion Energy to explore potential for expansion of a wind farm off the coast with a potential of up to 2,000MW. Construction began in May 2020. Bluewater Wind handled port logistics for the project. Power from the turbines, built by Siemens Gamesa, is cabled to a substation near Camp Pendleton. Seaway 7 supplied, installed, buried and tested the offshore power cables.

Heinrich Schüchtermann. Heinrich Schüchtermann (20 October 1830, Recklinghausen – 20 April 1895, Dortmund) was a German entrepreneur and philanthropist.

Life and work 

He initially worked as an independent watchmaker. In 1870, together with an engineer named Carl Joseph Kremer (a distant relative), he founded a mechanical engineering company that became a major supplier for the mining industry in the Ruhr Valley. He produced a wide variety of products, including steam engines, coking machines, processing machines for briquette factories, filters, turbines, pumps and fans. In 1872, together with , a timber wholesaler, and several other partners, he acquired a failing salt producer in Bad Rothenfelde and created the "Rothenfelder Saline AG"; serving on its Board of Supervisors until his death.

In 1884, he made a significant contribution toward establishing the "St.Josefinenstift", a charitable organization, staffed with Catholic nuns, that provided shelter to unemployed servants, gave unschooled girls handicrafts and housework lessons, cared for the poor and the sick, ran a poor kitchen, and provided an asylum for disabled women.  It still exists today, as part of a larger group of charitable societies. He was also involved in several committees working to connect Dortmund to the Prussian canal systems.

He was named an honorary member of the Dortmund City Council in 1890 and, in 1893, received the honorary title of "" (Commerce Councilor).

In 1899, the city of Dortmund commissioned a monument to Schüchtermann, originally designed as a fountain, near what is now the Museum am Ostwall. It was created by Gerhard Janensch, a sculptor from Berlin. After suffering serious storm damage in 2007, it was renovated and is no longer in use as a fountain. Bad Rothenfelde honored him as well, with a smaller monument, also created by Janensch.

He was married to Antoinette, née Schiller (1835–1900). They had no children so, in 1894, they created the "Schüchtermann-Schillersche Family Foundation", which inherited a huge sum after Antoinette's death and still exists today. In 1973, the , maintained by the Foundation, opened in Bad Rothenfelde.

Keihan 7000 series. The  is an electric multiple unit (EMU) commuter train type operated by the private railway operator Keihan Electric Railway in Kyoto, Japan, since 1989.

Overview 
The 7000 series was introduced in 1989 with two six-car sets and one four-car set. The remaining nine cars would be built between 1991 and 1993.

In 1993, three test 6000 series vehicles would be renumbered and incorporated into a fourth seven-car set.

These trains would be the basis for the 7000 series introduced in 1992.

Between 2006 and 2008, the sets received accessibility upgrades, such as wheelchair spaces.

A refurbishment programme for the 7000 series fleet was announced in January 2024. The refurbishment includes a redesigned interior based on that of the 13000 series, audible door warnings, internal LCD information displays, LED lighting, and updated control equipment, as well as full-colour LED destination displays. The first treated set, 7002, returned to service on 21 January of that year. The entire fleet is scheduled to be refurbished by 2025.

Interior 
Passenger accommodation consists of longitudinal bench seating throughout.

Formations 
The seven-car trains are formed as follows, with three motored ("M") cars and four non-powered trailer ("T") cars.

 "Mc" cars are motored driving cars (with driving cabs).
 "M" cars are motored intermediate cars.
 "T" cars are unpowered trailer cars.
 The "Mc" and "M" cars each have one scissors-type pantograph along with the "7150" car.

Illusion transmitter. An illusion transmitter uses two parabolic mirrors to transmit 3-D illusions of an object by use of a camera trained on the first mirror, which then sends video signals to a projector aimed at the second mirror. It was invented by Valerie Thomas, for which she received a patent in 1980. She developed it for the purpose of sending three-dimensional images across a distance, making them look as if they are in front of the mirror. As of 2022, the technology is still used by NASA and is being adapted for use in surgery, as well as for televisions and video screens.
