Floating reedbeds. Floating reedbeds are artificial or natural systems consisting of buoyancy and reeds. Plants including rice and wheat can be cultivated on floating reedbeds. The primary purpose of artificial floating reedbeds is to improve water quality through biofiltration, preventing algal blooms through denitrification and plant nutrient uptake, with a secondary benefit of habitat provision.

Modern floating reedbeds are increasingly being used by local government and land managers to improve water quality at source, reducing pollutants in surface water bodies and providing biodiversity habitat. Examples include Gold Coast City Council in Australia. Artificial floating reedbeds are commonly anchored to the shoreline or bottom of a water body, to ensure the system does not float away in a storm event or create a hazard.

Buoyancy in artificial floating reedbeds is commonly provided by polyethylene or polyurethane flotation foam, or polyethylene or PVC plastic containing air voids. Growth media includes coconut fibre, mats made of polyester or recycled PET bottles, synthetic geotechnical mat, open cell polyurethane foam, jute, soil and sand. Additional elements may be added such as activated carbon, zeolites, and materials that accumulate pollutants.

Life 
In the late 1920s Robbins was responsible for the car pool of Paramount Pictures.

Robbins later worked as film technician for Paramount Pictures and at the 10th Academy Awards he was awarded his first Oscar for Technical Achievement, which he received for "an exceptional application of acoustic principles to the sound proofing of gasoline generators and water pumps".

At the 12th Academy Awards he, Farciot Edouart and William Rudolph were awarded an Oscar, again for Technical Achievement, this time for "the design and construction of a quiet portable treadmill" .

He was awarded his third Oscar for Technical Achievement at the 17th Academy Awards, together with Russell Brown and Ray Hinsdale for "the development and production use of the Paramount floating hydraulic boat rocker".

Ganzhou–Shenzhen high-speed railway. Ganzhou–Shenzhen high-speed railway, or Ganzhou–Shenzhen section of Beijing–Hong Kong corridor, is a high-speed railway from Shenzhen and the Pearl River Delta through northeast Guangdong province to Ganzhou in Jiangxi province. It will form part of Beijing–Hong Kong corridor. The railway opened on 10 December 2021.

History
Guangdong officials listed the Ganzhou–Shenzhen HSR as a major part of the province's 2011 agenda, and Shenzhen Mayor Xu Qin called for accelerated construction of the line at the provincial legislature's annual session in 2012. Peng Jianwen, mayor of the city of Heyuan in northwestern Guangdong, confirmed in January 2014 that construction of the Ganzhou-Shenzhen HSR will start in 2015 and be completed in 2020.

Construction on the  long Longnan tunnel, the longest on the railway, began in April 2017.

Tracklaying began on 1 February 2021.

IRNSS-1C. IRNSS-1C is the third out of seven in the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) series of satellites after IRNSS-1A and IRNSS-1B. The IRNSS constellation of satellites is slated to be launched to provide navigational services to the region. It was launched on 15 October 2014 at 20:02 UTC by PSLV-C26 and will be placed in geostationary orbit.

Satellite 
The satellite will help augmenting the satellite based navigation system of India which is currently under development. The navigational system so developed will be a regional one targeted towards South Asia. The satellite will provide navigation, tracking and mapping services.

IRNSS-1C satellite will have two payloads: a navigation payload and CDMA ranging payload in addition with a laser retro-reflector. The payload generates navigation signals at L5 and S-band. The design of the payload makes the IRNSS system inter-operable and compatible with Global Positioning System (GPS) and Galileo systems. The satellite is powered by two solar arrays, which generate up to 1,660 watts, and has a life-time of ten years.

IRNSS-1C was launched successfully on 16 October 2014 at 1:32 am IST from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. An update from ISRO's official Facebook page on 18 October 2014 states that

Navigation Satellite IRNSS 1C Update:

The second orbit raising operation of IRNSS-1C is successfully completed by firing the Apogee Motor for 1,563 seconds.
The current orbital parameters are:
