Hugh McIntosh (civil engineer). Hugh McIntosh (4 December 1768 - 30 August 1840) was a Scottish civil engineering contractor particularly associated with the construction of canals and docks, and also the first purpose-built passenger railway line in London.

Career
McIntosh was born in Kildrummy near Nairn in 1768, apparently attending Inverness Grammar School before working as a navvy on the Forth and Clyde Canal and later the Lancaster Canal, where he first worked as a contractor.

While working on the Lancaster Canal, McIntosh met fellow Scot John Rennie who helped nurture McIntosh's career. McIntosh followed Rennie to London to work on the city's docks, and his growing reputation as an engineer led to him being recruited by the British government in 1809 in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to demolish fortifications at Flushing.

McIntosh then invested in land and became a developer in the Mile End district of east London. In 1812, he bid for contracts to dig the Regent's Canal and, in 1815, to work on the Surrey Commercial Docks.

With a reputation for honesty and a business with sufficient resources to complete major projects, he became the leading contractor of his day, undertaking contracts including work on the British Museum, Hampton Court, Brighton Pavilion, Buckingham Palace (working for John Nash), the Gloucester Docks and Gloucester and Sharpness Canal (working for Thomas Telford), the Aire and Calder Navigation and Goole docks, dock works at Portsmouth and Southampton, the Mythe Bridge, and the London and Greenwich Railway.

In 1837, The Gentleman's Magazine celebrated the railway project saying:
"This great national work reflects the highest honour on the gallant proprietor, Colonel Landmann, no less credit on the contractor, Mr Macintosh, under whose orders no less than 60,000,000 bricks have been laid by human hands since the Royal assent was given to the Act of Parliament for its formation in 1833."

Family life
He was married to Mary Cross. His brother James married Cross's sister. 

McIntosh died of apoplexy on 30 August 1840 in Wakefield, England. The family tomb is in the grounds of St Matthias Community Centre, Poplar, London.

ČSD Class ES 499.2. The ČSD Class ES 499.2 (Now ČD class 372 and 371) and DR Class 230 are multisystem electric locomotives, manufactured by Škoda Plzeň from 1988 to 1991. The locomotives were developed to work international trains between Czechoslovakia and the DDR. The locomotives are similar to the 163, 263 and 363 classes, but differ in electrical equipment, due to the need to operate across borders. 35 were produced, originally split between the Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD) and the Deutsche Reichsbahn.

History 
In the 1970s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn electrified the Děčín–Dresden-Neustadt railway between Dresden and Schöna, near the Czech border, using the standard German electrification of 15 kV 16  Hz. Across the Czechoslovak border, railways were electrified with 3 kV DC, creating a gap between Schöna and Děčín, which required trains to be diesel hauled. To solve this problem, it was decided to develop a class of locomotives that could operate on both the German AC and the Czech DC electrification systems.

Numbering 

The locomotives were intended to be delivered as ČSD Class ES 499.2 and DR Class 230, however, by time of delivery the ČSD has moved to numerical numbering, so the Czech locomotives were delivered as Class 372. The German examples were later renumbered to DB 180 class, due to the merger of Deutsche Bundesbahn and Deutsche Reichsbahn to form Deutsche Bahn AG. Czech locomotives modified to operate at  were renumbered to Class 371.

CBL Munchee Bangladesh. CBL Munchee Bangladesh is a flagship biscuit brand of Ceylon Biscuits Limited (CBL) in Bangladesh. CBL, the mother company with 50 years of experience and is present in 64 countries, entered Bangladesh in 2014 by setting up a factory in Sreepur Upazila, Gazipur,  from Dhaka as the first Sri Lankan owned confectionery manufacturing plant in Bangladesh, and the first Sri Lankan owned confectionery manufacturing plant overseas. The plant was set up as it was cheaper to manufacture in Bangladesh than exporting large volumes there due to high duties on confectionery imports. With the plant CBL planned to export Munchee to Nepal and Bhutan, and eventually to Europe and Persian Gulf countries from the Bangladesh plant as Bangladesh had significant concessions on its exports.

CBL Munchee started marketing in Bangladesh in 2015. By 2019, Munchee was available in 55 countries. CBL has an agreement with Concord Entertainment Co. Ltd to showcase Munchee at Fantasy Kingdom.

Awards
On the Mothers Day of 2017, Munchee and The Daily Star organised social media initiative "Mayer Daka Naam" (lit. the name my mother calls me by) to post that name on Facebook, a campaign that was awarded Best Digital Advertising Campaign and Best in Social Media Engagement awards at South Asian Digital Media Awards 2017 jointly presented by World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA) and Google. Bangladeshi major influencers like Ayman Sadiq, Solaiman Shukhon, Zara Mahbub, and Arif R Hossain were among those who posted their names of affection on Facebook on that Mother's Day.

AsiaOne magazine and United Research Services declared Munchee as the Fastest Growing Brand in Bangladesh in 2018.

Inverted Brayton cycle. Inverted Brayton Cycle (IBC) (also known as Subatmospheric Brayton cycle) is another version of the conventional Brayton cycle but with a turbine positioned immediately in the inlet of the system.

Functionality
Incoming air may be heated up in the combustion chamber, in the heat exchanger, or the system may directly receive hot exhaust gas from an engine or some technological process. Been heated up in one of these ways, the gas expands in the turbine from pressure around the atmospheric to the subatmospheric one, after the turbine, created by the compressor located further in the gas duct. The gas should be cooled down in the heat-exchanger between the turbine and compressor to provide the difference in the work received in the turbine and the work needed for the compressor to maintain the subatmospheric pressure after the turbine. After the compressor, the gas is released to the atmosphere with the pressure close to the atmospheric one. Alternatively, the gas can be cooled down after the compressor again, as it gains some heat in the compression process, and then released. The heat received in the heat-exchangers between the turbine and compressor and after the compressor may be used for heating, providing the cogeneration mode of the system operation. The basic scheme of the IBC and temperature-enthalpy diagram are presented in figures 1 and 2. For external heat sources or high temperature storage systems, the closed process design of the inverted Brayton Cycle is also possible. The overall efficiency can thus be significantly increased.

Raytheon Phaser. The Raytheon Phaser is a directed-energy weapon developed by Raytheon Technologies that uses high-power microwave electromagnetic radiation to destroy hostile drones, which technically makes it a maser rather than a phaser. The system uses vacuum tube technology to generate the radiated power and uses a reflector antenna  to generate a conical beam, giving it the ability to destroy multiple drones at once at short range.

HTF5680A1. The Taian HTF5680A1 is a large transporter erector launcher with a 12x12 configuration. The vehicle comes in two primary variants. The conventional HTF5680 is a 12x12 flatbed vehicle for transport purposes. However, the most common and famous variant is the HTF5680A1 which carries ballistic missiles, most famously, the DF-26 intermediate-range ballistic missile.

Description
The HTF5680A1 is a 35-ton TEL that is produced and developed by the Taian Special Vehicle company and is currently one of the main workhorse of the People's Liberation Army Rocket Force. The HTF5680A1 has a dimple on the roof in order to better accommodate the DF-26 ballistic missile it carries. Like the WS2600, the large size of the HTF5680A1, allows it to carry ballistic missiles with far heavier payloads. The most common type of ballistic missile the HTF5680A1 carries, are IRBMs such as the aforementioned DF-26.

The DF-26 missile itself is an IRBM with a 3,000–5,471 km (1,864–3,400 mi) range, and is capable of striking Guam. The warhead of the DF-26 have made it suitable for anti-ship usage.

Although it is meant for conventional hard surfaced roads, the HTF5680A1 has some degree of cross-country mobility and can travel over rugged terrain, which makes it less vulnerable to counterattacks and far more lethal.
