Descriptions of graffiti and street art injuries and deaths 
There were six people who died creating graffiti on train carriages in New South Wales by 1988.
Nine people were seriously injured or died creating graffiti on railway property in New South Wales in the 18 months prior to December 2001.

In July 1988 in the London Underground there were people who had received "... electric shocks and burns crossing the 600-volt rails to tag a wall." In June 2008 in Los Angeles there had been "...taggers getting injured once every couple of months from falls or being 'clipped by a car'.".

When people have taken photos of newly created graffiti there have been accidents where deaths have occurred. In the United States in 1993 a 23-year-old person was on train tracks with a group of people and it is thought that they had spray painted graffiti on the side of a freight carriage. The 23 year-old was taking photos of the graffiti when the sound of an approaching train was heard. The 23 year-old began to move across the train tracks and a collision occurred with the train and they died.

In Russia in 2020 a 22-year-old had created graffiti at a train station and they climbed up onto a train carriage to take a photo of the graffiti they had completed and they received an electric shock and died.

Syria missile strikes (August 2019). The strikes were conducted by the Israeli Air Force late at night on 25 August 2019.

Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, an IDF spokesman, told that Israeli officials had been monitoring a plot for several months in which they thought Iran's Revolutionary Guards’  force had been planning to send explosives-laden attack drones into Israel. He claimed that the Iranians initially attempted to put the plan into motion on Thursday. However, Iran did not have a reaction.

Incident
According to the report of  Syrian military by the official Sana news agency, At 23.30 aircraft defenses were detected from Golan heading towards the area around Damascus. According to the IDF sites in the town of Aqrabah, southeast of Damascus, near the city's airport was targeted. As a result of the strikes, several Military Intelligence units, air force squadrons, and air defense units were put on high alert. Supplementary air defenses forces were deployed to northern Israel for a precautionary measure.

As Syrian state TV announced, Syrian air army had responded to "hostile" targets over Damascus, they reported that "most of the hostile Israeli missiles were destroyed before reaching their targets".

As the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group mentioned, several missiles targeted positions maintained by foreign forces, while others were downed by air forces.

Since the beginning of the war in Syria in 2011, Israel has managed hundreds of strikes in Syria, most of them against what it says are Iranian and Hezbollah targets. Direct clashes between Israel and Iranian forces have been rare.

Aftermath
According to Mohammed Afif, a spokesman of Hezbollah, a day after Israeli warplanes struck targets in Syria, two Israeli drones crashed in the southern suburbs of Beirut overnight, and one damaged a media office belonging to Hezbollah, although the Israeli military does not comment on it as "foreign reports".

Reaction
The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by confirming the airstrike warned on Twitter that "Iran has no immunity anywhere. Our forces operate in every sector against the Iranian aggression. 'If someone rises up to kill you, kill him first.'"

Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, an IDF spokesman stated that although Iranian forces had launched rockets and missiles at Israel from Syria three times during 2018, the use of Loitering munition set to explode on their targets was a new and "different tactic".

Saab 401. The Saab 401 MEFA was an experimental air-cushioned vehicle with a weight of 2 tons and capable of about 40 knots on open water with two people on board. A single prototype was built under contract to the Swedish Navy. The craft was first tested in 1963. The Navy retired the project in 1967 when it donated the 401 prototype to the Maritime Museum in Karlskrona Sweden.

History
The Saab 401 MEFA project was created in the late 1950s as a collaboration between Saab and the Royal Swedish Naval Materiel Administration,  Karlskronavarvet (Saab Kockums) and the Swedish National Aeronautical Research Institute (FFA). Later the project was continued on lean funds at FFA. MEFA is the Swedish acronym for Markeffektfarkost (ground effect vehicle); the craft was also known as the "MEFAN".

Its design was led by Olof Ljungström. Vickers-Armstrongs was contracted for engineering work.

It was first tested March 4, 1963, in Norrköping. In January 1964, the 401 prototype was delivered to the Berga Naval Base for testing. The craft was retired by the Navy in 1967, and donated to the Karlskrona maritime museum.

Design

The vehicle's lift was created by an eight-blade fan, driven by a 180 hp Lycoming O-360 piston engine. Propulsion was achieved partly with adjustable drive ports in the air chamber, and also by two 72 hp motors driving external propellers. Its hovering height was  maximum 17 cm.

The Saab 401 was not equipped with the large rubber-skirts used to direct airflow that are typical in hovercraft. Instead, the vehicle was designed so that it could withstand direct contact with the lake and solid surfaces such as ice.

Hermann Oestrich. Hermann Oestrich (30 December 1903 – 2 April 1973) was a German-French engineer. He was involved in the development of jet engines as an employee of BMW and later of Snecma.

Life 
Born in Duisburg-Beeckerwerth, Oestrich studied at the Technische Hochschule Hannover and in Berlin. After completing his studies, he first went to the Deutsche Versuchsanstalt für Luftfahrt in 1926, where he remained until he moved to Brandenburgische Motorenwerke in 1935. He became chief engineer of BMW after earning a doctorate at the TH Berlin-Charlottenburg in Berlin in 1937. As part of the new development of jet engines, Oestrich began research in this field. In 1939 he was appointed head of the development of jet engines in the BMW plant in Berlin-Spandau. His developments eventually led to the BMW 003 engine, which was bought in 1946 by the French Air Ministry. In 1943, Oestrich was appointed department director and took over managing gas turbine development.

After the Second World War, Oestrich was captured and interrogated for a long time on technical issues. Finally, he was offered a job in the US, which he declined. Together with other former BMW employees, such as Hans-Georg Münzberg, August Wilhelm Quick and Otto David, he accepted a five-year contract with the French Ministry of Aviation. He founded Atar (Atelier technique aéronautique de Rickenbach) in 1946 and headed this development group of 120 employees. He went to Decize in 1946, where he worked for Snecma subsidiary Aeroplanes Voisin. Oestrich and his team worked on the further development of the Atar 101. In 1948 he acquired French citizenship and in 1950 he rose to technical director of Snecma in Villaroche, where the developments of the BMW 003 engine were being monitored. He retired from Snecma in 1960.

For his services at Snecma overseeing the development of Snecma Atar turbojet engines, he was awarded Knight of the Legion of Honor in 1962.

Service mesh. In software architecture, a service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer for facilitating service-to-service communications between services or microservices using a proxy.

A dedicated communication layer can provide numerous benefits, such as providing observability into communications, providing secure connections, and automating retries and backoff for failed requests.

A service mesh consists of network proxies paired with each service in an application and a set of task-management processes. The proxies are called the data plane and the management processes are called the control plane. The data plane intercepts calls between different services and processes them; the control plane is the brain of the mesh that coordinates the behavior of proxies and provides APIs for operations and maintenance personnel to manipulate and observe the entire network.

The service mesh architecture is implemented by software products such as Istio, Cilium, Linkerd, Consul, AWS App Mesh, Kuma, Traefik Mesh, Greymatter.io, and Open Service Mesh. Many service meshes use the Envoy proxy on the data plane.

NimbRo. NimbRo is the robot competition team of the Autonomous Intelligent Systems group of University of Bonn, Germany. It was founded in 2004 at the University of Freiburg, Germany.

Research 
The project NimbRo – Learning Humanoid Robots – was initially funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Focus was on the development of humanoid robots. Both hardware and software were developed for perception, planning, and learning.

The robot systems have been integrated and tested in challenging domains. Initially, humanoid soccer robots and communication robots for intuitive multimodal interactions with humans were developed. In recent years, robots have also been developed for domestic service, search and rescue, micro aerial vehicles, and bin picking. NimbRo has developed autonomous micro aerial vehicles designed for tasks such as the inspection of industrial chimneys.

NimbRo has competed in numerous robot soccer competitions. One of the challenges of designing a robot for humanoid soccer is the generation of dynamic movements while maintaining balance, an area of robot development important in practical applications. Hardware and software developed by NimbRo has been used by multiple other robotics competition teams.

NimbRo competed in the 2016 Amazon Picking Challenge, and the 2017 Amazon Robotics Challenge. Bin picking robots need to detect objects in complex scenes, estimate their pose, grasp them, and place the objects at a target location.

The mobile manipulation robot Momaro was designed for the DARPA Robotics Challenge and inspired the Centauro robot, which was developed the European research Project CENTAURO.

The 2018 NimbRo-OP2X robot played in the RoboCup Humanoid AdultSize class. It is 135 tall and has a weight of 18 kg. Its hard- and software are open source. Its structural parts are 3D-printed from polymers.

For the ANA Avatar XPRIZE competition, NimbRo developed an immersive telepresence system consisting of an anthropomorphic mobile robot and an operation station. In 2022, NimbRo won the Finals and received the Grand Prize of 5 Million US$.

Competitions and challenges 
NimbRo participated at the following robot competitions and challenges:

 RoboCup, robot soccer – in the Humanoid League size classes AdultSize, TeenSize, and KidSize
 ANA Avatar XPRIZE Competition
 Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge (MBZIRC)
 DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC), search and rescue robots
 RoboCup@Home, domestic service robots
 Amazon Picking/Robotics Challenge, bin picking robots
 European Robotics Challenges (EuRoC), robots for industrial use cases
