Jacobsen rearrangement. The Jacobsen rearrangement is a chemical reaction, commonly described as the migration of an alkyl group in a sulfonic acid derived from a polyalkyl- or polyhalobenzene:

The exact reaction mechanism is not completely clear, but evidence indicates that the rearrangement occurs intermolecularly and that the migrating group is transferred to a polyalkylbenzene, not to the sulfonic acid (sulfonation only takes place after migration). The intermolecular mechanism is partially illustrated by the side products found in the following example:

Furthermore, the reaction is limited to benzene rings with at least four substituents (alkyl and/or halogen groups). The sulfo group is easily removed, so the Jacobsen rearrangement can also be considered as a rearrangement of polyalkylbenzenes. It was Herzig who described this type of rearrangement for the first time in 1881 using polyhalogenated benzenesulfonic acids, but the reaction took the name of the German chemist , who described the rearrangement of polyalkylbenzene derivatives in 1886.

Color-tagged structure. A color-tagged structure is a structure which has been classified by a color to represent the severity of damage or the overall condition of the building. The exact definition for each color may be different in different countries and jurisdictions.

A "red-tagged" structure has been severely damaged to the degree that the structure is too dangerous to inhabit. Similarly, a structure is "yellow-tagged" if it has been moderately damaged to the degree that its habitability is limited (only during the day, for example). A "green-tagged" structure may mean the building is either undamaged or has suffered slight damage, although differences exist at local levels when to use a green tag.

Tagging is performed by government building officials, or, occasionally during disasters, by engineers deputized by the building official. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods and mudslides are among the most common causes of a building being red-, yellow- or green-tagged. Usually, after such incidents, the local government body responsible for enforcing the building safety code examines the affected structures and tags them as appropriate.

In some areas of the United States, buildings are marked with a rectangular sign that is red with a white border and a white "X".  Such signs provide the same information as "red-tagging" a building. Tagging structures in these ways can warn firefighters and others about hazardous buildings before the buildings are entered.

Point machine. A point machine (also known as a point motor, switch machine or switch motor) is a device for operating railway turnouts especially at a distance.

Overview
In the earliest times, points were operated manually by levers. Gradually, these were centralized and came to be operated from a signal box, either by rods, or by double wire arrangements.

Since the limitation of mechanical operation restricted the design of track layouts on the one hand, and tended to require more signal boxes, even lightly used ones, on the other hand, there has always been a desire of railway administrations to increase the distance that remote turnouts can be operated.  This requires some kind of power operation of points and signals.  The principal means of power operation include hydraulic, pneumatic and electric.

More recently with the increase in weight of rail, and the introduction of high speed turnouts with finer angles requiring multiple drives, points have become stiffer and beyond the capability of mechanical drives, forcing the introduction of point machines if not already done so.

Principle 
Modern point machines have an electric motor and gears to convert the rotational motion of the motor into the linear motion required to switch the points. The gear assembly also provides the required transmission ratio so that it can generate necessary force to move switch blades. The machine performs the following functions:
 Moving switch blades.
 Locking the blades
 Detection and proving the position of blades.

Point machine conversion - manual to motorized 

A point machine conversion system consists of a remotely controlled device attached to an existing manually operated point that allows the shunter/driver to remotely operate hand points with a radio handset. Each converter can be used as a stand-alone or multiple units can be installed operating together with routing.

In-tie unit 

The latest development is to mount the switch motor inside a faux railroad tie (aka sleeper) where it is relatively hidden from damage from track maintenance machines.

A Boy's Best Friend. "A Boy's Best Friend" is a 1975 science fiction short story by American writer Isaac Asimov. It has been collected in The Complete Robot and first appeared in Boys' Life, March 1975.

Plot summary
Jimmy’s family is settled on the Moon. Since Jimmy was born on the Moon, he is greatly accustomed to life and dangers on the Moon. Robutt, a robot-dog, was Jimmy’s companion. One day his father decided to bring a real dog from the earth. He hoped that a real dog is better than Robutt. However, Jimmy was not happy to get a real dog because he had become greatly attached to Robutt

Similarities to other stories
Quoting Asimov himself, "you may find in it (the story) a distant echo of Robbie". That story, written 35 years before, also involves a relationship between a child and a robot.

Destroy the Robots. Destroy the Robots is the sixth release and fifth extended play (EP) by the Brisbane-based Australian art rock band the Red Paintings. It appeared on 6 May 2006 via Modern Music, and was engineered by Stuart Niven, mixed by David Leonard, and mastered by Matthew Grey. The album achieved some commercial success in Australia and received mixed reaction by music critics. The EP made its debut at No. 86 on the ARIA singles chart – their first charting release. It also debuted on the Air Chart at No. 3.

Reception 

Eleven Magazines reviewer observed, "One moment their sound is so completely angelic, as though an ethereal being not of this planet hand picked them for their innocence of song and string. Then, faster than a blinking eye, innocence turns to all knowing. All knowing turns to uneasiness and you’re hooked. There’s no escape." Emma Gibson of The Canberra Review felt, "something is missing from this recording. It's an unremarkable CD from a remarkable band, which makes it even more disappointing... I didn't hate it, but I won't urge you to buy this CD. Better you go see The Red Paintings live, because this release just doesn't quite do justice to these innovative performers."

Yellow goods (construction and agriculture). Yellow goods are material for construction and earth-moving equipment, quarrying equipment, and fork-lift trucks. The term is also used to encompass agricultural equipment, such as tractors. The term "yellow goods" originated from the distinctive yellow colour commonly used on these types of machinery.

Construction and earth-moving equipment 
These yellow goods machines include excavators, bulldozers, backhoes, loaders, and dump trucks. They are used in construction projects and designed to handle heavy loads, operate in rugged terrain, and perform tasks like digging, grading, and hauling. Manufacturers include Case, Caterpillar, Fiat, Komatsu, Liebherr and Shantui.

Quarrying equipment 
This equipment is designed for use in the quarrying industry, which involves the extraction of minerals and other materials from the earth. Common types of quarrying yellow goods include rock drills and stone crushers. These machines are used to extract materials like limestone, granite, and sand.

Fork-lift trucks 
Fork-lift trucks are also considered yellow goods. They are mostly used in warehousing and manufacturing. They are designed to lift and move heavy loads and are used for material handling and logistics operations.

Agricultural equipment 
Agricultural yellow goods such as tractors are used in the cultivation and harvesting of crops in the farming industry. They are designed to handle a variety of tasks, from tilling and planting to harvesting and transporting.

EPAS. EPAS (Electronic Protocols Application Software) was a European non-commercial cooperation initiative which developing a series of data protocols to be applied in a point of sale (POS) environment. This included the protocols used by payment terminals and card payment systems. The project focused on three protocols; a terminal management protocol, a retailer application protocol and an acquirer protocol. 

In 2024, EPAS was merged with two other organizations to create Nexo Specifications.

History 
The organization was launched in 2005, and took over some of the work done on payment terminal standards in Germany by the Open Payment Initiative.

The initiative was structured along three following main phases:
Phase I : development of technical specifications and issuance of standards (2006 - mid-2007)
Phase II : development of software and provision of test tools (2007 – 2008)
Phase III : construction of demonstrators (2008)

In 2012, it was merged with the OSCar consortium and the CIR SEPA-Fast technical working group to create a global standards organization called Nexo Standards.
