Lanthanum cobaltite. Lanthanum cobaltite is a perovskite with chemical formula LaCoO3. As a solid, the structure LaCoO3, will exist as rhombohedral material at room temperature with ferroelastic properties; though at temperatures above ~900 °C a phase transition to a cubic lattice occurs.

It is also common of LaCoO3 to be utilized with either dopants or exhibit oxygen non-stoichometry where it may assume the structure La1−xA'xCo1−yB'yO3±𝛿 where  𝛿 is some small quantity making this class of perovskites extremely versatile for catalysis, one such commonly utilized material is lanthanum strontium cobalt ferrite otherwise known as LSCF.

BRANE. BRANE (Bombing Radar Navigation Equipment) was an airborne computer designed and built by IBM in the 1950s during the Cold War. BRANE was developed under contract to the United States Air Force for the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress nuclear bomber. At a time when computers were the size of large rooms, in order to build a computer that could function on an aircraft, engineers at IBM solved the problems of size, weight, power, reliability and maintenance by using a modular design; with parts that could be located where space was available and components replaced in-flight when they failed. IBM built a facility in Owego, New York to boost production capacity.

Middle East Materials Project. Founded in 1987, the Middle East Materials Project (MEMP) works to provide digital and microform copies of rare, hard-to-obtain, and expensive research materials related to Middle Eastern Studies. The main goal is to obtain delicate and deteriorating documents in order to digitally record and preserve them, so that researchers may find materials not common to other research libraries. MEMP is coordinated through the Center for Research Libraries in cooperation with the Middle East Librarians Association (MELA). Members participate in cooperative cataloging of materials that require specialized linguistic and cultural knowledge. MEMP's coverage includes Arab countries, Israel, Turkey, Iran, as well as other areas with related materials that do not have a functioning materials project.

MEMP's collection includes over 100 newspaper titles in Arabic, Turkish, and English,  a large number of Sudanese and Turkish papers, microfilms of documents about the Middle East from the Library of Congress, and microfilms from the Cosro Chaqeri Collection of Iranian Left-wing Materials. MEMP has also worked with Fawzy W. Khoury and Michelle Bates to compile the "Middle East in Microform: a Union List of Middle Eastern Microforms in North American Libraries" (University of Washington Libraries, 1992), a revised and expanded version of "National Union Catalog of Middle Eastern Microforms" (University of Washington Libraries, 1989).

37 Combat Engineer Regiment. 37 Combat Engineer Regiment is a reserve engineer regiment of the Canadian Military Engineers, part of the Canadian Army. It has its headquarters in St John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. It parades throughout the year from September to June while training continues throughout the summer in the form of courses and taskings. It is tasked to augment the regular force when required. Currently the regiment's Commanding Officer is Lieutenant-Colonel Darren Turner and the Regimental-Sergeant-Major is Chief Warrant Officer Doug Payne.

Location
The regimental headquarters houses 56 Engineer Squadron and is located at the Surgeon Lieutenant Commander W. Anthony Paddon Building 115 the Boulevard, St. John's, NL. 1 Engineer Squadron parades out of the Carleton Street armoury in Fredericton, New Brunswick.

1 Engineer Squadron history

1 Engineer Squadron was formed in 2006 at the Carleton and York armouries in Fredericton, New Brunswick. It shares close ties to both the Canadian Forces School of Military Engineering located close by at CFB Gagetown and the 1st Battalion, The Royal New Brunswick Regiment (1 RNBR), with which it currently shares armouries.

As a new unit there has been a focus on community projects and recruiting in order to build the size of the Squadron, one of these projects was the construction of a non-standard wooden bridge as part of a trail system in New Maryland, New Brunswick. As well the unit built above ground gardening boxes for the community food bank in Oromocto, as a part of their program to provide produce grown on site by the organization.

The squadron is a highly motivated unit that benefits greatly from the close proximity of a regular Canadian Forces base and the personnel/facilities of the Engineers working on the base. This close proximity provides the squadron with unique and invaluable training opportunities.

Nutmeg 24. The Nutmeg 24 is a Canadian trailerable sailboat, that was designed by William Shaw and first built in 1964. The design is out of production.

The Nutmeg 24 was featured in the July 1964 issue of Popular Boating.

Production
Production of the boat was commenced in 1964 by Tanzer Industries of Dorion, Quebec. The company entered bankruptcy in May 1986 and production had ended by then.

Hughes Boat Works of Canada later produced a derivative design, the Hughes 24.

Design
The Nutmeg 24 is based on the earlier Oriental Mercy design of 1955 and also the Shaw 24, both wooden boats.

The Nutmeg 24 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally mounted rudder. It displaces  and carries  of lead ballast.

The boat has a long keel, with a retractable centreboard, that gives a draft of  with the board down and  with it retracted.

The boat is normally fitted with a small  outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people. Cabin headroom is .

The boat has a hull speed of .

Operational history
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "Best features: The boat has low freeboard and a nice springy sheer, presenting a pretty picture to dockside observers. Worst features: Despite Bill Shaw’s fame engendered by the success of his Shaw 24 in winning MORC races, the Nutmeg never measured up (though maybe it's just that she never got a chance to compete). In any case, for most folks she lacks sufficient cruising space below, and not enough boats were sold to permit organizing a one-design class for club racing."

Electricity sector in Portugal. In 2008, Net electricity use  in Portugal  (gross production + imports – exports – losses) was 51.2 TWh. Portugal imported 9 TWh electricity in 2008. Population was 10.6 million.

In 2018 electricity was generated by 23% hydroelectricity, 26% natural gas, 22% wind, 20% coal, 5% biomass, 2% solar and 2% oil. In 2019 electricity was generated by 19% hydroelectricity, 32% natural gas, 26% wind, 10% coal, 6% biomass, 2% solar, 2% oil and 1% other combustibles.

By 2023, the share of renewable power sources of Portugal's electricity rose to 61% (from 49% in 2022). Grid operator REN attributes the record percentage to favorable weather conditions.

Portugal aims to generate 85% of its electricity from renewables by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2045, five years ahead of its initial target.

Main power stations

Hydro

The pumped-storage hydroelectricity plant at Frades works as 880 MW for generation and 780 MW for pumping.

Wind power 

Portugal produced 20% of electricity with wind power in 2017 and had the average year capacity of 14% of wind power in the end 2010. Wind power capacity was 3,357 MW in end 2009 and 3,702 MW in end 2010.

Solar power 

In Lisbon, the energy  payback time (see also EROEI) in the roof top solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is less than 2 years and less than in Sydney, Munich, Athens or Barcelona, but some more than in Madrid, Los Angeles or Ankara.

Transmission 

Redes Energéticas Nacionais manages the high voltage power lines.

In 2014, Portugal had an electricity interconnection level (international transmission capacity relative to production capacity) of 7%, below the recommended 10% level.

John J. Coit. John J. Coit (1875 – 21 September 1910) was an American experienced railroad engineer, who built and operated four miniature railways in California.

Life and work 
John J. Coit worked initially as a master machinist at the Johnson Machine Works but could not continue in this profession because he became physically handicapped. He built and operated several miniature railways in succession:
Seaside Park Railway
Long Beach and Asbury Park Railway
Eastlake Park Scenic Railway
Venice Miniature Railway

His oilfired steam locomotive No 1903 with a total length of  from tip of pilot to end of tank couple and a height of  from the top of rail to the top of stack was of the 2-6-0 type Mogul. The locomotive had some technical innovations, such as a valve control without eccentrics, which was easy to adjust and to maintain. The locomotive had also automatic couplings and a bespoke oil burner, for which Coit filed a patent.

From July 1908 he worked as a locomotive engineer on the main line of the Panama railroad, while the Panama Canal was being built. He was employed by the Atlantic Division, and his residence in the Canal Zone was at Culebra.

Death 
Coit died in an accident in the morning of 21 September 1910 at the age of 35, when the locomotive No 500, with which he pulled a work train, derailed on the main line of the Panama Canal Railway from Gatún to Culebra after colliding with a cow. The locomotive derailed approximately  in front of bridge No 47 near Mamei and tipped over onto the adjacent track, which ran towards the south. Coit died immediately at the scene of the accident and his West Indian fireman was seriously injured. The tipped-over locomotive was removed from the tracks to allow other trains to pass.

As Coit was not married, his sister, C.J. Stanton, 418 Solano Avenue, Los Angeles, was the next of kin. Three of his miniature locomotives are known to survive today. Venice Railway No. 1 and Eastlake Park No. 1903 are with private owners, while Venice Railway No. 2 operates at the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad in Los Gatos, California.

Painter-Bernatz Mill. Painter-Bernatz Mill, also known as the Old Stone Mill, is a historic building located in Decorah, Iowa, United States.  The original part of the mill was constructed by William Painter in 1851, and it was expanded to its present size in the next year or two.  A mill race was constructed from a dam on the Upper Iowa River, and it was routed beneath the building to power the turbine.  It was the first of at least 15 mills that used this river as its source of power.  The lower two floors are composed of native limestone.  The original hip roof was removed sometime between 1874 and 1890 and the present gable roof was built giving the mill a large loft.  Diesel power replaced water power in 1947.  The building continued to operate as a mill until 1964.  It became a part of the Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum in 1971, and houses exhibits on agriculture and industry.  It is also a site in the Silos & Smokestacks National Heritage Area.  The former mill is the oldest building in Decorah.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
