Carrigadrohid hydroelectric power station. Carrigadrohid hydroelectric power station is a hydroelectric plant located on the River Lee in County Cork, Ireland. It is owned and operated by the ESB Group. The dam is  long and has a single  Kaplan turbine which produces an average of  each year. Built between 1952 and 1957. the construction of Carrigadrohid required the destruction of over half of the Gearagh, an ancient alluvial forest, and initially harmed local wildlife. However, subsequently the area has seen the growth of an ecosystem with kingfishers, otters, salmon and swans, which has been designated European Union Special Area of Conservation.

Construction
The Carrigadrohid hydroelectric plant, along with its sister plant constructed  downstream on the River Lee at Inniscarra, formed the fourth major hydroelectric development undertaken by ESB. Construction of the reinforced concrete gravity dam started in 1952 and was complete in 1957. The dam is  long and  high, and operates with an average head of . It is constructed of nine blocks, each between  in length, and is fitted with three ground sluices and a spillway weir.

Generating capacity
The plant consists of a single Kaplan turbine rated at  manufactured by Voith. It spins at 167 r.p.m. and feeds a single 11,500 kVA Siemens generator running at 10.5 kV.  The average output for the station is  a year.

Impact on flooding
According to Cawley et al, the construction of this dam and the one at Inniscarra "have reduced significantly the extent and frequency of flooding along the Lee valley into Cork City". Prior to the construction, there were a number of fatal floodings in the city of Cork, including one on 2 November 1853 that killed 12 people.

Impact on wildlife
As part of the construction of the reservoir to power the plant, 60% of the Gearagh, an ancient alluvial forest, was flooded. The stocks of animals like trout, otters, eels and freshwater pearl mussels were also negatively impacted by the construction. Many species, including freshwater pearl mussels, Atlantic salmon, whooper swans, common kingfishers and Eurasian otters, can still be seen in the area and the reservoir has been designated a European Union Special Area of Conservation. There is a salmon hatchery where over a million smolts are reared every year, of which over 100,000 are released into the river.

Heights of Abraham Cable Car. The Heights of Abraham Cable Car is a gondola lift in the English county of Derbyshire. About 1/3 of a mile long (), it links the spa town of Matlock Bath with the Heights of Abraham, a tourist attraction  above. The line was built by Poma and opened in spring of 1984. The cable cars were upgraded in 2004, making them larger and more accessible, to 12 x six-seater cabins, which operate in four trains of three cabins each. An example of the smaller 1984 cabin can be seen displayed at the base station 

The line is operated on the relatively unusual single cable pulsed aerial ropeway principle, whereby the cabins are permanently fixed to the cable. To allow passengers to board and alight, the cable is stopped as each train of cabins passes through the stations. As there are four trains but only two stations, this means cabins also stop mid-flight.

The lower station of the cable car is located on the opposite bank of the River Derwent to the Heights of Abraham and the town of Matlock Bath, with the cabins crossing the river at the lower end of their journey. A footbridge provides access from the town to the lower station, which is also situated a short walk away from Matlock Bath railway station.

Kevie W. Schwartz. Kevie W. Schwartz (1902–1974) was an American chemical engineer and entrepreneur who developed a process and apparatus for electroplating, served as President of the Chromium Products Corporation from 1923 to 1944,  and founded Midtown Tennis Club in Chicago with his son, Alan G. Schwartz.

Early life and education 
Kevie Waldemar Schwartz was born in New York City on 3 June 1902. He was raised in Harlem and graduated from Stuyvesant High School at 15. He attended City College of New York for a year, before transferring to Columbia University, where he worked with Prof. Colin Fink, a pioneer in electrochemistry. He was awarded a Bachelor of Engineering in 1921 and a master's in chemical engineering in 1923.

Inventions and career 

While pursuing his master's degree at Columbia, Schwartz discovered the use of chromium as a soluble anode in acid chromium depositing baths containing CrO as the main electrolyzable component, which led to a more efficient plating process. This process was used extensively for both military and commercial purposes. During World War II, for example, it prolonged the functional life of parts in both submarines and airplanes.

Kevie Schwartz founded Midtown Tennis Club in 1970 with his son, Alan. He died at a club owned and operated by Midtown Tennis Club in Rochester, New York in 1972.

Radiometer Assessment using Vertically Aligned Nanotubes. The Radiometer Assessment using Vertically Aligned Nanotubes (RAVAN) was an experiment launched into low Earth orbit on November 11, 2016. It successfully collected data for 20 months.

RAVAN's goal is to test new technologies that help measure Earth's radiation imbalance, which is the difference between the amount of energy received from the Sun that reaches Earth and the amount that is reflected and emitted back into the outer space. Theoretical estimates of the difference in the thermal energy is estimated to be at less than one percent.

The experiment was designed by Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory, in collaboration with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Coke Oven Hollow, Indiana. Coke Oven Hollow (also called Foundry) is a ghost town in Penn Township, Parke County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.

A thriving manufacturing settlement during the 19th century, Coke Oven Hollow is today covered by forest.

History
Sugar Creek Iron Foundry was established at the settlement by 1836.  Owned by William G. Coffin, the foundry used pig iron imported from Cincinnati to manufacture ploughs, stoves and various milling and gearing items.  Finished product was transported to markets in Indianapolis, Richmond, and Cincinnati by way of the nearby Sugar Creek, which joined the Wabash River  west.

By 1837, a coal mine was noted at the settlement, used for the production of coke.

A pottery had been established at nearby Annapolis since 1841.  Potters' clay mined at Garrard Quarry in Coke Oven Hollow was used there to manufacture stoneware.

A flatboat builder was also located at Coke Oven Hollow.

Industrial activities declined by the early 1900s, and the settlement today is covered by mature forest, and is located within the  Mossy Point Nature Preserve.
