Layla (video game). is a side-scrolling action video game produced by dB-SOFT that was released in 1986 exclusively for the Family Computer (the Japanese version of the Nintendo Entertainment System).

Gameplay
In a story inspired by Dirty Pair, Layla, a 17-year-old member of special forces group CAT, needs to rescue her team partner Iris who was kidnapped by the evil Dr. Manitoka. Eight asteroids have to be explored in search of Iris, each divided into two sections: the first part involving the surface of the asteroid while the second part deals with the actual enemy base.

The game's screen always scrolls from left to right and no backtracking is permitted on any level. While navigating through the cavern-like interiors of the asteroids, password disks must be retrieved. At the end of each base awaits a boss that must be defeated. When the player character's life reaches zero, she dies and immediately loses a life. A password is shown after the player game over so that players can resume their progress at a later date.

Several guns in addition to some hand grenades can be used; a handgun is the player's initial weapon, but more powerful weapons can be found by exploring. Every weapon has a limited amount of ammunition. Certain blocks can be broken by using the player's chosen weapon; the destroyable and non-destroyable blocks are sometimes indistinguishable. Bonus levels distributed throughout the game allow players to destroy squadrons of enemy ships while being completely impervious to their attacks.

Reception
When Layla was announced in August 1986, originally scheduled to arrive in September, the game was noted for featuring the second heroine on the Nintendo Entertainment System, after Valkyrie from Valkyrie no Bōken: Toki no Kagi Densetsu (the gender of Samus Aran from Metroid was a secret). However, more female-protagonists games including Athena, The Wing of Madoola and Gall Force also arrived at around the same time as when it was finally released in December. Upon its release, Layla was rated 26/40 (5, 7, 7, 7) by the four reviewers in Weekly Famitsu, three of whom acclaimed the cuteness of the main character in their notes. The three reviewers from Marukatsu FC gave it an overall score of 11/15 (4, 4, 3).

Keikyu 600 series. The  is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Keikyu on commuter services in the Tokyo area of Japan. First introduced in 1994, a total of eight 8-car sets and six 4-car sets were built by Tokyu Car Corporation and Kawasaki Heavy Industries to replace the ageing 1000 series sets on limited express services.

Operations 
The 600 series is primarily operated on the Keikyu Main Line. They are also used on inter-running services to the Toei Asakusa Line, Keisei Main Line, Hokuso Line, and the Narita Sky Access Line. Four-car sets are occasionally used on the Keikyu Daishi Line.

Formations
, the fleet consists of eight 8-car sets and six 4-car sets (classified 650 series).

8-car sets
The eight-car sets 601 to 607 are formed as follows, with six motored (M) cars and two trailer (T) cars.

 The "x" in the car numbers corresponds to the set number.
 The "M1c" and "M1" cars are each fitted with one lozenge-type pantograph, and the "M1'" car is fitted with two pantographs.

The eight-car set 608 is formed as follows, with four motored (M) cars and four trailer (T) cars.

The two "Tp1" cars are each fitted with two single-arm pantographs.

4-car sets
The four-car sets are formed as follows, with two motored (M) cars and two trailer (T) cars.

The "Tp2" car is fitted with two single-arm pantographs.

Interior 
The first batch of sets introduced featured transverse seating bays throughout. While most of the seating was fixed, some seats were partially retractable. Later sets featured longitudinal seating. From 2004, the earlier sets were modified with some transverse seating bays replaced by longitudinal seats.

Liveries
Set 606 received a special "Blue Sky Train" livery in March 2005 to commemorate the opening of Haneda Airport Terminal 2.

Refurbishment
The 600 series underwent refurbishment from August 2009 to March 2014. Modifications included were replacing the wiper cover with a slit of the model number (similar to those found on the 2100 series and N1000 series), narrower front-end skirts, LED side lights, and a pair of LCD information screens above the doorways.

Jesse G. Vincent. Jesse Gurney Vincent (February 10, 1880 – April 20, 1962) was an American aircraft, marine, and automobile engine designer.  Famed initially for his design of the World War I Liberty aircraft engine, he rose to enduring prominence as the longtime chief engineer for Packard automobiles.

Early life
Born in Charleston, Arkansas on February 10, 1880, Vincent came from a promising lineage for his chosen career.  His maternal grandfather had been the Union Army's director of railroad design and engineering for its rail network during the Civil War, pivotal in the Confederacy's inevitable defeat. Vincent studied engineering in his spare time from a course offered by International Correspondence Schools. Vincent established himself with "a thick portfolio of patents" at the Burroughs Adding Machine Company in Detroit before moving on to become acting chief engineer for the Hudson Motor Car Company late in 1910. Jesse Vincent was a very close friend of Hudson's cofounder Howard E. Coffin.

Packard career
He joined Packard on July 29, 1912 and began his rise there. World War I briefly affected-but did not interrupt-his career.  Commissioned as a major in the U.S. Army Signal Corps, he "achieved immortality for his role in creation of the Liberty V-12 aircraft engine during World War I".  Collaborating with Elbert J. Hall of the Hall-Scott Motor Company, the pair designed the V-12 Liberty powerplant for the Army Air Force in just five days.  The effort, however, was late in the war and only a fraction of the engines ended up in military aircraft.  By the time of the Armistice with Germany various companies had produced 13,574 Liberty engines; including those made to fulfill wartime contracts a total of 20,478 were built between July 4, 1917 and 1919.

The result was a huge surplus of Libertys, sold at steep discount to private buyers.  Many ended up converted to marine use in high-end recreational speedboats and championship racers, an avocation Vincent became a prime player in.  Among his victories was the 1922 Gold Cup, driving Packard-Criscraft and breaking a five-year winning streak by rival and business collaborator Gar Wood.  Delivered to "Colonel Vincent" just in time for the race, it was the first boat to sport the soon to become iconic Chris-Craft moniker.

Vincent remained as Packard's head of engineering until his retirement in 1946, leaving an imprint on virtually every Packard produced since World War I.  He is immortalized as "America’s Master Motor Builder" on a State of Michigan marker honoring the vast Packard Proving Grounds, the first facility for testing automobile and engine performance in the U.S.

One of the earliest members of the Society of Automotive Engineers, Vincent rose to president of that organization and was subsequently elected by it to the Automotive Hall of Fame. He died in 1962, having regrettably seen the demise of Packard four years earlier.
