WPI Engineers men's basketball. The WPI Engineers men's basketball team is the college basketball program representing Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). The Engineers compete in the Division III (DIII) of the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) and the NEWMAC. WPI's men's basketball program began competing regularly as a varsity sport in 1918. The team is currently coached by Chris Bartley.

WPI plays its home games at Harrington Auditorium, located on the campus in Worcester, Massachusetts, with a capacity of 3,000.

History
Although an informal team played in 1902, the WPI Engineers basketball team was sponsored by the Athletic Association in 1903, but then was abolished in the spring of 1910. The sport was brought back in 1915, but only as an intramural. It wasn't until the winter of 1917–1918, that basketball became an intercollegiate sport again. The team won back to back New England Championships during the 1919–20 and 1920–21 and seasons. According to the Premo-Porretta Power Poll, the 1919–20 team would have been ranked 25th in the country.

The 1965–66 team was defeated by Army 71–62 on December 8, 1965. The win marked the first career coaching victory for the Hall of Fame coach, Bobby Knight.

During the 2012–13 season, the team was ranked second in the nation in National Collegiate Athletic Association's Division III and had their best start ever, going undefeated for their first 22 games. On February 24, 2013, WPI beat Springfield College in overtime to win the NEWMAC Championship and secure a place in the 2013 NCAA Division III men's basketball tournament.

The Engineers had a program record 27 victories during their 2021–22 season, which included a NEWMAC regular season championship, a NEWMAC tournament championship, and an Elite Eight appearance in the 2022 NCAA Division III men's basketball tournament. This marked the program's second NCAA quarterfinal game and first since 1985.

It was revealed on September 7, 2016, with very little info about specifications. Apple says its two cores deliver 50% higher performance and the GPU delivers twice as much as the predecessor, the Apple S1. The S1P SiP shipped in the Apple Watch Series 1 is a stripped down version of the S2 that lacks the GPS functionality, it is otherwise identical.

System-in-Package design
It uses a customized application processor that together with 512 MB memory, 8 GB storage and support processors for wireless connectivity, GPS, sensors and I/O constitute a complete computer in a single package. This package is filled with resin for durability.

Components
The device integrates discrete components like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, touch controller, accelerometers, barometric sensor and RAM. In total, there are 42 individual silicon dies integrated into the single S2 component.

BVG Class H. The BVG Class H is a type of electric multiple unit train used on the Berlin U-Bahn, Berlin's underground rapid transit system. They were the first new design of wide profile trains introduced after the fall of the Berlin Wall and have been in use since 1996. It is the first model to allow passengers to freely walk through the entire length of the train, as opposed to having multiple closed off compartments.

History
After the reunification of Germany, the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) saw an urgent need for more trains, as well as a new, more uniform model for both the East and the West to use. Thus, in order to replace the D, DL and E classes, they placed an order for 115 new trains in 1992, which was later reduced to 26, with 20 more to be delivered at a later time. The first test runs of the new trains were held from 1996 before serial delivery began in 1997.

Features
Unlike other wide profile trains, the H class trains only feature longitudinal seats, a feature usually found in small profile trains. It was also the first model introduced in Berlin to feature open gangways, allowing for free movement through the whole length of the train. The interior colours are mainly white and yellow.

The BVG Class H trains were the first trains in the Berlin U-Bahn subway system to have the automatic next station announcement system and visual next station information led bar display. The interior advertisement lcd displays were installed in the 2000s. Since the 2010s, the left of the two screens shows the next station's information. That feature was eventually installed in the rest of the Berlin U-Bahn subway fleet except for the BVG Class HK trains.

Each of the batches of H class trains delivered received its own name, with the prototypes being referred to as H95 and the versions of the two later, serial deliveries as H97 and H01 respectively. All individual trains also received a serial number in the format of 5xxx. They were ordered from and manufactured by Adtranz, ABB Henschel and Bombardier.

M.M. Rhodes and Sons Company. The M.M. Rhodes and Sons Company is a historical button factory complex at 12 Porter Street in Taunton, Massachusetts.  Established in 1861 and operational until 2014, it was one of the first successful papier-mâché shoe button manufacturers in the United States.  Its surviving factory complex is one of the last early 20th-century complexes left on Taunton's once heavily industrialized south side.  The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.

Description and history
The Rhodes Company factory is a complex of seven connected buildings, occupying  on the southeast side of Porter Street, southwest of downtown Taunton.  Its main building, constructed in 1880, is a long three-story brick structure oriented perpendicular to the street. The other buildings of the complex are attached to this one, roughly forming a U shape with a central courtyard that is open to Porter Street.  The oldest building on the site, is a c. 1865 wood frame building that extends along Porter Street southwest of the main building. This building was expanded several times between 1865 and about 1922.

The M.M. Rhodes and Sons Company was founded in 1861 by Marcus Morton Rhodes, when he first began renting space on this site.  Rhodes manufactured a variety of items, including parts for hoop skirts and a variety of nails and tacks.  He eventually designed a papier-mâché shoe button-making machine, and this became one of the mainstays of the company business after supplies from France were cut off by the 1870 Franco-Prussian War.  This prompted him to enlarge the physical plant, building the main plant that served the company until its closure in 2014.  It remained a family-run business during this entire period.

Metals and Engineering Corporation. METEC (acronym for Metals and Engineering Corporation) is an Ethiopian arms and machinery industry founded in 2010. Being the state largest military industrial complex, it is responsible for the production of military equipment and civilian products. METEC works with foreign companies such as Alstom from France, and Spire Corporation from America.

Controversy

Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam
METEC was once responsible for constructing the $4 billion Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam project on the River Nile, expected to be Africa's biggest hydroelectric project, but was ousted from the contract in August 2018. Kinfe Dagnew, a Brigadier General in Ethiopia's army and former chief executive of METEC plays a significant role in the organization. The company was assigned development of Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam and sugar factory, as well as the Jinka Sugar Bag factory. On 12 November 2018, all assigned project canceled due to fail to complete, and government arrested Kinfe Dagnew, CEO of METEC, after a trial to escape through Sudan, where he was captured by Defence force. Kinfe Dagnew arrived in helicopter to Addis Ababa. Many METEC officials were prosecuted for corruption on the project.

Tax evasion
In April 2018, Kinfe Dagnew resigned the company after serving for eight years, when Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed became head of the ruling party Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front. The company remained unknown when it was operated by TPLF. In June, parliamentary committee found that METEC squandered hundreds of machinery products worth 326.4 million dollars without study of the market.

Sources say that the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia squandered 2.8 million dollars without completion of sugar projects, and revealed the company borrowed 436 million dollars.

Kinfe Dagnew arrest
On 12 November 2018, the chief executive officer, Kinfe Dagnew was arrested by the Ethiopian National Defense Force after attempting to escape through the Sudan border. He was found with an empty briefcase believed to be illegally transporting goods. Shortly after hours, an Ethiopian Air Force helicopter dispatched from Debrezeit airbase brought Kinfe Dagnew to Addis Ababa. 40 of the company's officials were detained after they called for meeting in Imperial Hotel, Gerji, Addis Ababa.
Some newspapers quoted that they were transferred to Addis Ababa Police Commission; then temporarily jailed by Federal Police.

Kaem Ling. Kaem Ling ('monkey cheeks') () is a flood control measure based on the vision of King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand. The idea stems from his observation that monkeys store bananas in their cheeks, conserving them to eat later. He applied this concept to the problem of flooding in Bangkok. Storing excess water in north Thailand would slows its progress towards Bangkok and allow it to be used when rainfall slackened. The monkey cheeks concept was the inspiration for the design of Chulalongkorn University Centenary Park by Kotchakorn Voraakhom.

Mechanics
 The canals used as the water storage reservoirs are filled with water when the rain is very heavy.
 Floodgates are opened to let water flow out to the sea when the sea level is lower than the level of the water in the canals.
 Floodgates are closed when the sea level is higher than the level of water in the canal to prevent seawater from flowing into the canals.

Procedures 
 Find the place to serve as storage reservoirs to divert flood water into
 Build connections to the storage reservoirs
 Release the water so that it flows out of the reservoir regularly when the water level of storage canals is higher than sea level.

Ofeq-11. Ofeq-11, also known as Ofek 11 (Horizon in Hebrew), is part of the Ofeq family of reconnaissance satellites designed and built by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) for the Israeli Ministry of Defense.

Launch 
Ofek-11 was launched on 13 September 2016, at 14:38 UTC from the Palmachim Airbase in Israel, two years after the launch of Ofeq-10. It was delivered using IAI's Shavit 2 launcher. Compared to its predecessor, the new satellite features an improved version of El-Op's "Jupiter High-Resolution Imaging System", with resolution increased to 0.5 meter, and uses a new satellite bus - OPSAT-3000 - which is a derivative of the satellite bus used in TecSAR-1.

Mission 
According to reports, the launch initially looked like a success, but about 90 minutes later, engineers realized that while the satellite had entered orbit, not all systems were functioning or responding to instructions. However, after several days of remote repairs, the satellite was operational and taking high-quality pictures. It has been reported that South Korea is considering utilizing the satellite to obtain reconnaissance on North Korean activities.
