Limestone Generating Station. Limestone Generating Station is a run-of-the-river hydroelectric dam on the Nelson River approximately  north of Winnipeg near Gillam, Manitoba. Part of the Nelson River Hydroelectric Project, Limestone was Manitoba Hydro's fifth and largest generating station to be built on the Nelson River. The station was built on the Nelson River at Long Spruce Rapids. The site is approximately  downstream of Manitoba Hydro's Long Spruce Generating Station. 

The dam is owned and operated by Manitoba Hydro. It has ten generating units with a capacity of 1,330 megawatts and annual generation around 8.5 terawatt-hours. Although work at the site began in 1976 with a cofferdam completed in 1978, construction was suspended owing to a slowing of demand for electric power. The project resumed in 1985, with the first generating unit delivering power in 1990 and completion in 1992. Construction cost was $CDN 1.43 billion; favorable economic conditions at the time resulted in lower cost than budget.

Winterthur–Etzwilen railway line. The Winterthur–Etzwilen railway line is a railway line in Switzerland. It links Winterthur in the canton of Zurich with Etzwilen in the canton of Thurgau. The line is  long, standard gauge, single track and electrified at  supplied by overhead line.

The line was opened on 17 July 1875 between Winterthur and Etzwilen by the Swiss National Railway (SNB) company. By 1878 the railway company was in bankruptcy, and the line was taken over by the Swiss Northeastern Railway (NOB). Since 1902 the line has been part of the network of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB). The line was electrified between Oberwinterthur and Etzwilen in 1946, the section from Winterthur Hbf to Oberwinterthur having been electrified since 1928.

The principal civil engineering structure on the line is the Thurbrücke Ossingen, a  long and  high five-span truss bridge over the River Thur. A  long two-span prestressed concrete bridge carries the line over the A1 motorway, built in 1967.

The line is served throughout by hourly passenger trains of Zurich S-Bahn line S29, which links Winterthur and Stein am Rhein. Additionally, alternate trains of line S11 provide an hourly service to Seuzach from Zurich.

7.2-Inch Demolition Rocket. The 7.2-Inch Demolition Rocket, also known as the T37, was a  rocket developed and used by the United States military during World War II. Derived from the "Mousetrap" anti-submarine rocket, it was intended for use in demolishing concrete bunkers and fortifications, and saw use from August 1944.

Development
The 7.2-Inch Demolition Rocket was developed by the Physical Chemical Problems branch of the National Defense Research Committee, located at Caltech, in late 1943 as a modification of the existing   ASW rocket (Mousetrap) for use against heavily fortified ground targets. Assigned to the United States Navy for development and production in July 1944, An additional high-explosive rocket, the T24, was planned, but was dropped in favor of the T37. The rockets utilized a standard  rocket motor, fitted with a larger-diameter warhead; a longer-ranged version utilizing a  motor was also produced.

Operational history
The T37 saw its first operational use during Operation Dragoon, the invasion of southern France, in August 1944, fired from 120-round "Woofus" launchers mounted aboard Landing Craft Rocket vessels offshore.

The rocket was also intended to be fired from tanks for the clearing of bunkers and anti-tank obstacles. The initial launcher, dubbed "Cowcatcher", was mounted on the front of M4 Sherman tanks; it was quickly found unsatisfactory, and was replaced by 20-round (T40 "Whiz Bang") and 24-round ("Grand Slam") launchers mounted atop the tank's turret. The 20-round launcher could fire its entire loadout of rockets in approximately 10 seconds; however the tank installation was unpopular with crews, as the launcher prevented the tank's turret hatches from being opened.

Convective mixing. In fluid dynamics, convective mixing is the vertical transport of a fluid and its properties. In many important ocean and atmospheric phenomena, convection is driven by density differences in the fluid, e.g. the sinking of cold, dense water in polar regions of the world's oceans; and the rising of warm, less-dense air during the formation of cumulonimbus clouds and hurricanes.

Uda-class oiler. The Uda class, Soviet designation Project 577, is a class of replenishment oiler built for the Soviet Navy between 1962 and 1967.

Construction
Project 577 vessels were built at the Vyborg, USSR shipyard during the 1960s and were designated VTR Voyenyy Tanker, Military Tanker) by the Soviet Navy. They are capable of replenishment at sea and an A-frame kingpost provides two amidships refueling positions. They are also capable of refueling over the stern.

The Project 577 is similar in design to a US Navy AO fleet tanker or a Royal Fleet Auxiliary fleet support tanker and performs the same operational role. Unlike US or British vessels of this type, the Project 577 does not have facilities for helicopters and is incapable of vertical replenishment.

There are provisions for fitting eight ZIF-75 57mm AA guns in quad mounts, plus one MR-302 Strut Curve and two MR-103 Bars radar, but no weapons systems have been reported fitted to the Uda class since the 1960s.

Variants
 Project 577 – Soviet Navy

Breda Ba.46. The Breda Ba.46 was a three-engined Italian bomber transport, developed from a similar but lower-powered civil transport.  It was designed in Italy in the mid-1930s for colonial policing but not put into production.

Design and development
The Breda Ba.46, which first flew in 1934, was a military development of the Ba.32 8-11 seat airliner from two years earlier.  The Ba.46 was designed to fill a colonial policing rôle with an aircraft capable both of bombing and troop transportation. Troop/bombload mixtures could range from 12 men and 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) of bombs of weights 100 kg (220 lb), 250 kg (550 lb) and 500 kg (1,100 lb), up to a maximum bombload of 2,000 kg (4,400 lb) without troops.

Both the Ba.32 and Ba.46 were three engine, cantilever low wing monoplanes with fixed,  conventional undercarriages. Since the Ba.46's military equipment, chiefly bombs and defensive armament, raised the all-up weight by some 45%, it was re-engined with 650 hp (485 kW) Alfa Romeo-built Bristol Pegasus radials which provided more than twice the power of the Ba.32's Pratt and Whitney Wasp Juniors.  Wing span and area were also increased, by 12% and 22% respectively. Other dimensions remained the same.  As a result, the Ba.46 was quicker both in level flight and particularly in the climb, reaching 5,000 m in 18 minutes rather than the B.32's 52 minutes.

The cockpit of the Ba.46 was enclosed and the fuselage had side windows. There were four machine gun positions, two dorsal and two ventral.  Bombs were stored internally, each weight in its own bay and above separate doors. The Ba.46 had a braced tailplane positioned on top of the fuselage and a single fin.  The wide-spaced mainwheels were spatted; the outer engines were faired with Townend rings, the central one remaining uncowled.

The Breda Ba.46 made its first flight in 1934, by which time the company's focus had moved to more modern, retractable undercarriage and single-purpose bomber designs for European wars; there was no further development.

Fujikyu 6000 series. The  is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Fuji Kyuko (Fujikyu) on the Fujikyuko Line in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, since February 2012. A total of four three-car trains were introduced during fiscal 2011 and 2012, converted from former JR East 205 series EMU cars.

Design
Converted from former JR East 205 series EMU cars, the exterior and interior design of the 3-car 6000 series EMUs was overseen by industrial designer Eiji Mitooka. The second set to enter service, 6001, uses LED lighting throughout.

The first set, 6501, was converted from full-production 205 series cars constructed from 1985 to 1991, and has single-pane passenger windows, while subsequent sets (Set 6001 onwards) were converted from pre-production 205 series cars and have two-pane passenger windows which were originally from Yamanote Line from 1985 to 2005 and then Keiyo Line from 2005 to 2011.

Operations
The 6000 series trains operate on the  Fujikyuko Line in Yamanashi Prefecture, which runs between  and , and are normally used on all-stations "Local" services.

Formation
The 6000 series are formed as 3-car sets as shown below, with car 1 at the Fujisan end. The first set in service, 6501, was converted from three cars of former Keiyo Line 205 series set KeYo 22. The second set, 6001, was converted from three cars of former Keiyo Line set KeYo 25. The fifth set, 6502, was converted from three cars of former Saikyo Line set Hae 28. The sixth set, 6701, was converted from three cars of former Hachiko Line set Hae 85.

The Mc cars are equipped with two FPS33E single-arm pantographs (only one normally used).

History

Conversion

The first set of three former Keiyo Line 205 series cars was transferred in unpainted form from JR East's Nagano Works to the Fujikyuko Line in October 2011. Modifications involved transplanting a driving cab onto a former intermediate motored car, the provision of LED destination indicators, and passenger-operated door buttons.

The second set (former Keiyo Line set KeYo 25) was transferred to the Fujikyuko Line in January 2012.

Driver training commenced in February 2012, with the units still in unpainted form.

Entry into service
The first set entered revenue service on 29 February 2012 (a date which can be read as fu-ji-kyu in Japanese). A formal debut event was staged on 18 March 2012, from which date, set 6501 also entered revenue service.

A further four former 205 series cars were purchased from JR East in November 2016.

Livery variations

In September 2016, set 6501 received a special red and white livery based on that of the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn in Switzerland to mark the 25th anniversary of the signing of a sister railway agreement with the line.

IFIP Working Group 2.10. IFIP Working Group WG 2.10 on Software Architecture is a working group of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP).

Aim

The purpose of WG 2.10 is to further the practice of software architecture by integrating software architecture research and practice.

Software architecture is important because
 it captures and preserves designers' intentions about system structure, thereby providing a defense against design decay as a system ages
 it is the key to achieving intellectual control over the enormous complexity of a sophisticated system.

Some of the concerns of a software architect are
 early analysis of critical whole-system properties
 preservation of the integrity of design over time in the face of system modifications and the creation of families of related systems.

Scope

The aspects of software architecture within the working group's scope are:

 identifying common problems encountered by practitioners
 investigating notations, languages, techniques, tools, and methodologies for improving the practice of software architecture.
   
Current areas for improvement are:
 describing software architectures
 supporting reuse at the architectural level
 interoperability and integration
 evaluating and analyzing software architectures (e.g. for fulfillment of requirements or properties, comparing design alternatives, etc.)
 supporting the correspondence between the architecture and the implementation
 reverse-engineering the architecture of an implemented system
 training, education, and certification of software architects

The Software Architecture Portal
The IFIP WG 2.10 maintains the software architecture portal. The portal provides information about the working group, the Software Architecture Village wiki, and other resources on software architecture. 
The IFIP WG 2.10 is also active in organising the ICSA (previously WICSA) conference series.

Ardois Light System. The Ardois light system, or the Ardois Telephotos light system, was a communications system and method used by the U.S. Navy in the late 19th century to enable ship to ship communications at night.

Each installation used a series of eight double lamps (four red and four white) hung vertically from a mast and read from top to bottom, (if mounted horizontally, they were read from the transmitter's right to the left). The code used was effectively a visual version of Morse code, with one color indicating a 'dot' and the other color a 'dash'.

In 1897 the system was improved by adding on a better keyboard, known as the "Telephotos."
