EGS-CC. The European Ground System - Common Core (EGS-CC) is a European initiative to develop a common infrastructure to support the development of ground space systems for space missions.

By defining a common infrastructure, EGS-CC is aiming at providing many benefits such as:
 Faster transition from the different mission phases (spacecraft assembly, integration and testing (AIT), and mission operations)
 Reduce cost and risk for space missions
 Support the evolution of ground segment systems towards new technologies
 Promote the upgrade of ancillary implementations

The initiative is being performed as collaboration between ESA, the European National Agencies and the European Industry. The European Space Agency established an agreement with European National space agencies (DLR, CNES, UKSA) as well as the large European system integrators such as Airbus, Thales Alenia Space and OHB Systems, for a collaboration to develop EGS-CC. Together they formed a Steering Board (SB) and a Systems Engineering Team (SET), overseeing the development.

Freedom 39. The Freedom 39, also called the Freedom 39 Express, is an American sailboat that was designed by Ron Holland and Gary Hoyt as a cruiser and first built in 1983.

The Freedom 39 was introduced at the same time as the related Freedom 39 PH design, a boat with a similar hull, but a schooner rig and a pilothouse.

Production
The boat was built by Tillotson Pearson in the United States for Freedom Yachts, starting in 1983.

Design
The Freedom 39 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wooden trim. It is a cat-rigged ketch, with carbon-fiber conventional booms and two free-standing carbon-fiber masts. It has an aft cockpit and features a raked stem, a slightly reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. The design displaces  and carries  of lead ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard keel fitted.

The boat is fitted with a British Perkins Engines 4-108  for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds  and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .

The design has sleeping accommodations for six people. It has a private, aft, double cabin, under the cockpit on the starboard side, two pilot berths in the main cabin and a double berth in the bow cabin. The galley is U-shaped and located on the port side, at the foot of the companionway steps. It includes a three-burner stove and double sinks.

Kinarri 35. The Kinarri 35 was the ARRI's first 35mm camera, released in 1924.

Function
This was Arri's first camera, constructed by August Arnold. The Kinarri 35 was a hand cranked 35mm camera, in a round aluminum camera body, which was inspired by the Akeley camera introduced in 1919.

The crank was on the right side and the framerate was obviously completely manually adjusted, by how quick the cinematographer turned the crank. On the left side there was a foldout direct optical viewfinder with a crosshair. The left side could be removed to load the film into the camera. The internal magazine took 100 ft (30meters) daylight spools. The Kinarri 35 had a fixed Arrinar lens  f2,7/40 mm. The body was made out of aluminum.

The overall design was later used for the Kinarri 16, which was released in 1928.

The name is a portmanteau of the German word for "cinema" ("kino") and the manufacturer's name, "Arri".

Adawro exclosure. Adawro is an exclosure located in the Dogu'a Tembien woreda of the Tigray Region in Ethiopia. The area has been protected by the local community since 1994.

Environmental characteristics
 Average slope gradient: 70%
 Aspect: the exclosure is oriented towards the northeast
 Minimum altitude: 2635 metres
 Maximum altitude: 2705 metres
 Lithology: Basalt

Management
As a general rule, cattle ranging and wood harvesting are not allowed. The grasses are harvested once yearly and taken to the homesteads of the village to feed livestock. Physical soil and water conservation has been implemented to enhance infiltration, and vegetation growth.

Benefits for the community
Setting aside such areas fits with the long-term vision of the communities were hiza’iti lands are set aside for use by the future generations. It has also direct benefits for the community:
 improved infiltration 
 improved ground water availability
 honey production
 climate ameliorator (temperature, moisture)
 carbon sequestration, dominantly sequestered in the soil, and additionally in the woody vegetation)

Water conservation

In the Adawro exclosure, more than 800 precise measurements were done in 2003 and 2004, using five runoff plots, where the volume of runoff was measured daily. The rock type (basalt), slope gradient and slope aspect were the same, the only difference was the land management and vegetation density. Whereas in degraded rangeland, 11.4% of the rainfall flows directly away to the river (runoff coefficient), this happens only for 2.5% of the rain in a recent exclosure and 3.2% in a eucalyptus forest.
In 2003, the soils of the then young exclosure could hold 280 litres of water per m³, similar to the adjacent rangeland.

Improved ecosystem
With vegetation growth, biodiversity in this exclosure has strongly improved: there is more varied vegetation and wildlife.

Trees
The main tree species found in the exclosure are:
 Flat top acacia (Acacia abyssinica, renamed as Vachellia abyssinica)
 Golden wattle (Acacia saligna)
 Rumex nervosus, a woody sorrel species
 Aloe macrocarpa

Soils
Main soil type in the exclosure are Phaeozems,  formed  in sediment that has been trapped by the vegetation of the exclosure, and as a remnant of the original situation before deforestation. Remarkably, also in the well-protected eucalypt plantation there is some undergrowth and soil development.

János Petrenkó. János Petrenkó (30 March 1940 – 3 March 2020) was a Hungarian industrialist, inventor and politician, member of the National Assembly (MP) from 1990 to 1994. He was noted as owner of the first private large company, the rolling mill for heavy products within the Ózd Metallurgical Works after the fall of communism in Hungary.

Career
Petrenkó was born into a mining family with eight children in Ózd on 30 March 1940. His parents were György Petrenkó and Jolán Král. He grew up in the mining settlement of Bánszállás (today a borough in Ózd). He finished elementary studies there. He studied electro-mechanical engineering since 1958, at the age of 14. He worked for Ózd Metallurgical Works for 25 years. He joined Hungarian Communist Workers' Party (MSZMP) in 1962.

He co-founded his company PEKO Works at Arló in 1971, a small manufacture of high wear materials. Becoming a full-time private small entrepreneur, he owned the company from 1979 to 1989. He bought the rolling mill for heavy products section of the Ózd Metallurgical Works under bankruptcy proceedings for 100 million HUF in 1989, becoming the first private industrialist tycoon in Hungary following the transition to democracy. After lengthy legal and political wrangling, he took over the company under the name PEKO Steel Works on 1 January 1990. He also founded and owned PEKO Business, an export-import trading house for the company. Petrenkó was also a noted inventor in heavy industry production, he had 187 technological innovations and 7 patents in metal drilling and plasma cutting until the end of Communism. Petrenkó was a founding member of the presidium of the National Association of Hungarian Manufacturers (MGYOSZ) since 1991. He was also a member of Communist-affiliated trade union National Association of Craftsmen (KIOSZ).

Petrenkó retained his membership of MSZMP until its abolition. He became a founding member of the legal successor Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP) in October 1989. He unsuccessfully ran as an independent candidate (supported by MSZP) in Ózd constituency (Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County) during the 1990 parliamentary election, but was elected MP via his party's Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County Regional List. Petrenkó left the Socialist Party and its caucus on 27 April 1992, citing the existence of difficulty of boosting the economy, limited by party interests. Petrenkó joined extra parliamentary Republican Party in November 1992. He was a member of the parliamentary Economic Committee for a short time between October and December 1992.

Personal life
Petrenkó married manager Magdolna Varga. They had two sons, Tibor (born 1966) and Tamás (born 1971); both of them were officials at PEKO Works in the 1990s. Petrenkó died on 3 March 2020, at age 79.

Henry A. Bent. Henry A. Bent (December 21, 1926 – January 3, 2015) was a professor of physical chemistry who studied molecular orbitals to develop atomic hybridization and valence bond theories. Bent's rule, which predicts the orbital hybridization of a central atom as a function of the electronegativities of the substituents attached to it, is named for him. 

In thermodynamics he developed a global approach now known as "entropy analysis" for the entropy component of thermodynamic free energy in relation to the second law of thermodynamics and the spontaneity of various chemical processes. 

Bent was also interested in the periodic laws of the elements and promoted the left-step periodic table based on orbital-filling rules.
