Bedford VAS. The Bedford VAS was a commercial vehicle chassis produced by Bedford Vehicles from 1963 until 1987. It was sold as a bare chassis including engine, transmission and driving controls, and was intended to be fitted with a bus or coach body from another manufacturer.

Background
The Bedford subsidiary of Vauxhall Motors had produced rolling chassis suitable for single-deck buses and coaches since 1931, with models such as the WHB, WLB and WTB produced until 1939, to be succeeded by the OB/OWB in 1939 and, during the war, the OWB. The bodies were produced for these by outside coachbuilders such as Duple, and provided up to 32 seats in an overall length of around . The Bedford SB replaced the OB in 1950, and was longer with a greater seating capacity - typically 33 to 41. However, some operators still felt a need for a smaller vehicle. Consequently, Bedford introduced a new model in 1963, the VAS, which provided an overall length of up to around  upon which a 29-seat body could be fitted.

Design
The basic layout was similar to the SB model, but the wheelbase was shorter. The chassis frame had two longitudinal main members arched over the front axle; at the rear they were tapered upwards to clear the rear axle. The axles were mounted close to the ends, to give a nominal front overhang of , a wheelbase of  and a nominal rear overhang of . The engine and transmission were mounted above the front axle, with shaft drive to the rear axle.  road wheels were fitted. The driver's position was alongside the engine, the forward control arrangement.

A choice of two engines was offered, giving rise to numeric suffixes to the model code: the VAS1 used a  diesel engine, and the VAS2 used a  petrol engine. Both had a four-speed synchromesh gearbox, but the ratios differed. In 1967, the VAS1 was replaced by the VAS5, which used a  diesel engine. A  petrol engine was offered from about 1972, and this was model VAS3.

A new system of model codes was introduced by General Motors in 1968. Under this, the first letter (in this case, P) denoted the basic model range; the second letter denoted the engine type; and the third letter the gross weight range for a complete vehicle, which for a VAS was K, denoting . Model codes for the VAS (now the P series) were as follows:

Bodywork
Several outside firms constructed bodywork for the VAS, primarily Duple and Plaxton. The short overhang at the front meant that the passenger entrance needed to be placed behind the front axle, as with the SB model. The short rear overhang was less of a problem, and the body builders usually added extension pieces to the rear of the main chassis frame, below which a luggage boot was usually fitted, bringing the overall length to around . Within this length, up to 29 seats could be accommodated: two alongside the driver, above the nearside front wheel; two behind the driver, opposite the entrance; five rows of four arranged as pairs either side of the central gangway; and a bench seat for five at the back.

Complementary corridors. The complementary corridors () are a bus transit system that serves the metropolitan area of Lima and Callao. It is a network of bus systems that cover the main avenues of the metropolitan area.

Structure
A "complementary corridor" can be defined as a group of bus services that provide service on the same trunk axis, generally made up of large metropolitan avenues. They supply medium capacity routes on mixed routes and, in theory, complement massive systems such as the metro and the Metropolitano.

While the administration of the system is in charge of the Urban Transport Authority (ATU), the operation falls to private concessionaires. As of 2019, there are 18 services awarded through public bidding to 6 consortia. Likewise, there is a fleet of approximately 800 units, mostly 12-metre buses.

The corridors are differentiated by colour according to mayoral resolution No. 380-2015. Initially five corridors were implemented.

The Lima Pass smart card is used to access the transit system. The card was implemented on the red and blue corridors on April 18 and June 1, 2019, respectively.

Services
The system is run by a number of routes or corridors sorted by colour.

Jost Werke. Jost Werke SE (proper spelling: JOST Werke SE) is a manufacturer of systems for commercial vehicles based in Neu-Isenburg, Germany. Jost Werke is a leading international manufacturer and supplier for the trucking industry. The company focuses on the manufacture of safety-related systems for tractors, semi-trailers and trailers. The company has been listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since July 20, 2017.

History 
The company was founded in 1952 as a factory for ball wreaths by Hans Breuer and Joseph Steingass. Four years later, the production of fifth wheels began. As early as 1960, Jost expanded to the UK and to apartheid-era South Africa (plant in Chloorkop). Further expansion followed in the 1970s and 80s – including in Italy, France, the United States, Spain and Australia. To increase capacity, a second plant was built in Wolframs-Eschenbach in Germany in 1980. In 2000, Jost opened its first plant in the United States in Greeneville, Tennessee. One year later, the manufacturer of towbars Rockinger was acquired. Further acquisitions followed in 2008 with the manufacturer of trailer axle steering systems Tridec and in 2015 Mercedes-Benz TrailerAxleSystems. In 2008, Jost, which is considered a hidden champion, was itself acquired by the private equity firm Cinven. The company went public on July 20, 2017, with an IPO. By January 2018, the previous owner Cinven had sold all shares of Jost. The company has been listed on the SDAX since March 19, 2018. The takeover of the Swedish company Ålö Holding AB, which specializes in agricultural front loaders, took place in 2020.

Locations 
Jost has sales offices and production facilities in over 20 countries on five continents. The head office is located in Neu-Isenburg. Other production sites in Germany are Wolframs-Eschenbach and Waltershausen (production and sales).

Lead ochre. Lead ochre or lead ocher in American English (; ), as well as plumbic ocher or lead oxide — at least three lead minerals (pigments) that resemble ocher in appearance. Under such a trivial name, minerals and pigments of cream, yellow, orange and red colours were known, reminiscent of or corresponding to the powdery consistency of ochre. The term ″lead ochre″ was used primarily among glassblowers, artisans, as well as geologists and miners. It may refer to:

Essential minerals 
 massicot — β-PbO, stable at temperatures above 489°C, metastable at room temperature, yellow crystals, is a secondary mineral which forms from the oxidation of galena ores — a bright yellow pigment
 litharge — α-PbO, stable up to a temperature of 489°C, red crystals, is a secondary mineral which forms from the oxidation of galena ores — a bright orange pigment
 minium — Pb2PbO4, also known as red lead or red lead oxide — a bright orange red pigment

Project JEDI. Project JEDI is an open source project created in 1997, which started with the goal to translate C header files to Object Pascal and share the results with fellow Delphi programmers. The name decided on was Project JEDI (the "Joint Endeavour of Delphi Innovators"). Over time it evolved to include other aspects of Delphi programming: runtime library (RTL) enhancements, new visual components for the VCL and version control. Today, as a stable code collection, it is one of the largest open source Delphi libraries, and its code is widely used in the Delphi community.

Objectives
Project JEDI has set itself the task of converting published C header files into new Delphi units, classes and components that make new technologies freely available for use in the native Delphi environment. The original goals were:

 to provide Delphi developers with timely access to Application Programming Interfaces(APIs), libraries and other facilities which extend the capability of the Delphi programming environment
 to produce consistent, well-tested and fully documented products for the benefit of all Delphi users
 to make everything produced by Project JEDI freely available, with source, to anyone wishing to use it
Nowadays, the future of Project JEDI is "up to the members" according to the Project JEDI director. The overall project JEDI structure is now stable and subprojects can drive their own development. Both JCL and JVCL are actively developed and they can be used with the latest versions of Delphi and C++Builder.

Subprojects
Project JEDI is split in different subprojects, each dedicated to specific tasks:

Currently Active:
 JEDI Code Library (JCL): major RTL enhancements.
 JEDI Visual Component Library (JVCL): the most-known subproject, more than 600 visual components.
 JEDI Tools: set of tools used by many projects

Past Projects:
 JEDI Darth (JDARTH): formerly known as HeadConv, an automated tool to convert C header files to Delphi;
 JEDI Windows API Library (JWAL): an almost complete translation of Windows SDK header files to Pascal.
 JEDI Version Control System (JVCS): a version control system completely written in Delphi.
 JEDI QuickTime: a translation of QuickTime header files to Pascal and QuickTime-related components and code.

Gareth W. Peters. Gareth W. Peters is an Australian endowed chair professor of actuarial science at the University of California, Santa Barbara and an honorary professor of statistics at University College London. As at 2024, he is also a member of the international advisory board of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics.

Education 
Peters has a Bachelor of Engineering from the University of Melbourne, a Master of Science from the University of Cambridge and a PhD in Mathematics and Statistics from the University of New South Wales.

Career 
Before joining the University of California, Santa Barbara, Peters held academic positions at Heriot-Watt University, University College London and University of New South Wales. He has published over 150 peer-reviewed articles on risk and insurance modelling and 2 research text books on Operational Risk and Insurance. He has also been the editor and contributor to 3 edited text books on Monte Carlo methods and spatial statistics.

Research work 
Peters' research shows that mortality rates have heteroscedastic behaviour and incorporating heteroscedasticity and stochastic volatility in the estimation of life tables markedly improves model fit despite an increase of model complexity. This is consistent with the cohort effects widely documented in mortality observations.

His research work has been cited by the Swiss Association of Actuaries and informed central bank senior delegates around the world.
