Jurca MJ-6 Crivats. The Jurca MJ-6 Crivats (from Crivăț a wind in Romania) is a plans built homebuilt, twin engine design from Romanian-born Marcel Jurca.

Design
The MJ-6 was designed to be a retractable tricycle geared, low-wing, all-wood construction, twin engine homebuilt. The wooden structure is covered with 1/8" plywood panels. The engine gauges are mounted externally on the engine nacelles facing the pilot. The cowlings and canopy were to be sourced from Falconar Avia. 

Construction was started in 1964, but it was never completed. It was a two-seat tandem design - a side-by-side version, the MJ-66 was also planned but never built.

Multiple Console Time Sharing System. The Multiple Console Time Sharing System (MCTS) was an operating system developed by General Motors Research Laboratories in the 1970s for the Control Data Corporation STAR-100 supercomputer. MCTS was built to support GM's computer-aided design (CAD) applications.

MCTS was designed starting in 1968. It was written in a high-level systems programming language "Malus", a dialect of PL/I. A superset of Malus called Apple became the primary application language.

MCTS was based on Multics. All access to data was through the virtual memory system. Only the system paging support module was concerned about the physical location of the data.

Steiner tunnel test. The Steiner tunnel test is a widely used method of testing building interior wall and ceiling finishes for their ability to support and propagate fire, and for their tendency to emit smoke. The test was developed in 1944 by Al Steiner of Underwriters Laboratories, and has been incorporated as a reference into North American standards for materials testing as tests ASTME84, NFPA255, UL723 and ULCS102. These standards are in widespread use for the regulation and selection of materials for interior building construction throughout North America.

The test may be carried out inside a dedicated, instrumented test apparatus.  The test itself involves an assembly of the tested material, fabricated into an otherwise noncombustible horizontal box or tunnel as the tunnel's roof, in a section  long and  wide. The tunnel is as wide and long as the test specimen, and  high. The apparatus is equipped with two gas burners providing a flame intensity of 89 kilowatts, and air and combustion products are moved through the tunnel by a ventilation system at a controlled velocity of  per minute.

The progress of the flame front across the test material is measured by visual observation, while the smoke emitted from the end of the test assembly is measured as a factor of optical density. A flame spread index (FSI) and a smoke-developed index are calculated from these results. Both indices use an arbitrary scale in which asbestos-cement board has a value of 0, and red oak wood has 100.

The tunnel test does not measure the ignitability of materials, nor does it properly assess the behavior of thermoplastic materials which may tend to melt and drip from the assembly, or for materials with slow flame spread properties. It likewise does not give a true assessment of the smoke emanating from very thin materials. Other tests, such as the "critical radiant flux" test (ASTM E648/NFPA 253) are more suitable for establishing ignitability. The "methenamine pill test" (ASTM D 2859) is used to judge the ignitability of flooring carpet.

Bendersville station. Bendersville (colloq. "Asper's Station" by 1888) was a Gettysburg and Harrisburg Railroad (G&H) stop east of Bendersville, Pennsylvania, with facilities of Frederick A. Asper that included a 3-story brick flour mill, grain elevator, and warehouse built in 1883 (the latter's roof blew off in 1904). The depot was opposite the mill over the tracks.

The G&H had begun shipments to Asper's mill by November 28, 1883, and when the route was complete to Gettysburg, Bendersville Station was initially the only stop designated as "station" on the original 1884 railroad schedule. The locale's additional industrial facilities subsequently included the 1888 Peters planing mill, a 1902 tannery, the Allen flint mill, a 1922 canning plant, and the 1893 Penn Tile Works (encaustic tile by J. W. Ivery). After the Asper's mill property was sold in 1913, the Aspers Produce Company and Columbia Flint Mill were acquired by the 1919 Aspers Fruit Products Company (liquidated in 1926). The railroad station was eliminated by the development of the concrete highway completed in 1927, the Glen Gary Shale and Brick plant at Aspers became a Pfaltzgraff facility in 1973, and a new post office building was erected in 2001 (the 1934 post office was in Clyde Plank's warehouse).

The locale (Bendersville Station) and populated place (Aspers, the original post office name) were separately designated in 1979 for the Geographic Names Information System, and the Aspers census-designated place was named in 2008 to replace the 2000 census' Bendersville Station-Aspers CDP.

Chenghai Lake. Chenghai Lake () is a mesotrophic plateau lake in Yunnan Province, China. The lake has a total area of about . The average depth is , with an elevation of . the water storage capacity is about 19.87×108m3. Chenghai Lake is one of only three lakes in the world where Spirulina is found naturally.

Ecology 
Chenghai Lake is known to have significant yeast biodiversity; a study collected and identified 64 yeast strains, in 22 species across 8 genera. The lake is a closed ecosystem, and is mesotrophic, meaning it supports an intermediate level of biological productivity. Aquatic vegetation in the lake has declined, probably due to pollution, habitat destruction, eutrophication, and effects of grass carp stocks.

Pollution 
Caesium-137, a radioactive fallout isotope, is present in the lake.

Global Electronics Council. Founded in 2005, the Global Electronics Council (GEC), formerly known as the Green Electronics Council, is a US-based environmental non-profit organization and mission to, "create a world where only sustainable technology is bought and sold".

EPEAT

GEC operates the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) system, which was designed to assist in the purchasing of "greener" PCs and displays, imaging equipment and televisions. The EPEAT system evaluates electronics on more than 50 environmental criteria, some required and some optional, that measure a product's efficiency and sustainability attributes. Products are rated Gold, Silver, or Bronze depending on how many criteria they meet. On 2007-01-24, President George W. Bush issued Executive Order 13423, which requires all United States Federal agencies to use EPEAT when purchasing computer systems. President Barack Obama issued a similar Executive Order in 2009. In 2012 EPEAT was released in India. By 2015, the number of registered green devices had risen by 108%.

In partnership with the Yale Center for Green Chemistry and Engineering, in September of 2008 GEC held a Forum for Sustainable Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) at Yale.

Catalyst Award
 Green Electronics Council hosts and presents the annual Catalyst Award for "Practical projects whose impact can inspire further innovation in the electronics space." In 2015 Dell received an award for their innovations in environmental safety of electronic production. During the 2014 calendar year Dell used 5000 tons of recycled plastic in its production of 34 products. Other notable nominees included Hewlett-Packard, Toshiba, and Arrow Electronics.

Emerging Green Conference
Emerging Green Conference is an annual event organized by Green Electronics Council, where technology leaders meet to "explore sustainability issues throughout the lifecycle of electronics." The latest gathering happened in September 2015 where over 30 companies and organizations attended a three-day event at The Nines Hotel in Portland, Oregon.

Ironwood station. The Chicago and Northwestern Railroad Depot is a railroad station located between Suffolk and Lowell Streets in Ironwood, Michigan.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

History
The Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western Railroad line was laid through what is now Ironwood in 1884. At the time there were almost no people in the settlement, but the railroad and the surrounding virgin timber made the city a boomtown, which swelled to 11,000 people by 1892. The railroad had originally constructed a wood-frame building for use as a depot in Ironwood, but it quickly proved inadequate. In 1892, the company built this brick replacement at a cost of $18,000. The Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western became part of the Chicago and North Western Railway soon after.  The station was used for passenger traffic until 1970, and freight until 1981. In 1983, the former depot was purchased by the Downtown Ironwood Development Authority. It currently houses the Ironwood Area Historical Society.

Description

The Chicago and Northwestern Railroad Depot in Ironwood is a red brick and sandstone structure with a one-block long platform. It has a multi-level hipped roof covered with slate. The depot consists of a single-story main depot with a small second story space in the center and a separate, single-story baggage unit with a small modern addition. The two portions are joined with a single roof and measure approximately 175 feet by 28 feet.

The two buildings have vertically laid brown sandstone slabs on the bottom of the walls, rising to a height of about 5-1/2 feet. The walls are brick above. The depot's lower story has simple rectangular doorways and windows with one-over-one double hung windows. A triple-window bay which once housed ticket windows projects from the center of the trackside facade. The small second floor has three round-head window with sandstone sills, deeply recessed between sandstone
columns with foliated capitals. The projecting eaves of the main hipped roof are supported by large curved wooden brackets.

The interior of the main depot contains a train dispatcher's quarters and locker room on one side, a ticket office in the center, and a passenger waiting room
and rest rooms on the other side. The walls are plastered and painted white, and the floors are wooden.  Many of the interior details are original, including the wainscoting, window trim, baseboards, and ceiling molding. The second story originally housed a railroad agent's office and small store room. The baggage structure has three rooms, one of which is the small addition.

Shared-memory architecture. A shared-memory architecture (SM) is a distributed computing architecture in which the nodes share the same memory as well as the same storage.

It contrasts with shared-nothing architecture, in which each node has distinct memory and storage, and with shared-disk architecture, in which the nodes share the same storage but not the same memory.

This is distinct from the use of shared memory between different programs or threads on a single node, with or without multiprocessing.

Société Anonyme des Ateliers de Sécheron. The  (SAAS, 'Anonymous Society of Sécheron Workshops') was a joint-stock company based in Geneva, Switzerland.  It specialized in electrical engineering, including the manufacture of electrical equipment and locomotives.

In 1989, the company was split into four successor companies, ABB Sécheron SA, ABB Power Generation (closed in 1995), ABB Systèmes de Transport and Sécheron SA.

History 
In 1879, Alfred de Meuron set up a small workshop in Geneva to manufacture electrical appliances.  This workshop ultimately formed the basis for the establishment of SAAS on 9 July 1918.

The following year, 1919, Brown Boveri & Cie (BBC) became SAAS's main shareholder. Five years later, SAAS resumed its independence.  The company remained independent until 1969, when competitive pressures forced it to seek new partners.  In 1970, BBC took over as sole shareholder. However, the company's name was changed only in 1982, when it became BBC Sécheron SA.

In 1988, BBC finally merged with the Swedish company ASEA to form ASEA Brown Boveri (now ABB Group). The new company chose to split SAAS into four companies, and separate itself from the traction-related manufacturing sector. The decision led to the creation in 1989 of a new independent company, Sécheron SA, which re-entered that sector. Meanwhile, ABB Sécheron SA continued the manufacturing of transformers.

In 1992, ABB Sécheron moved out of its previous factory, and let Sécheron SA occupy the original site alone.

Products 
The company manufactured the following products:

 Electrodes for arc welding;
 Mercury-arc valves;
 Electrical equipment for hydroelectric power stations;
 Electric locomotives, in collaboration with other companies (BBC, SLM or SIG): e.g., Re 4/4 I, Re 4/4 II and III, Re 6/6;
 Electric railcars and multiple units, also in collaboration with other companies;
 Speed controllers for trains, rapid transit networks, trams and trolleybuses.

Choshi Electric Railway 300 series. The  was an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Choshi Electric Railway in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, between 1951 and 2008.

Build details

History
DeHa 301 started life as MoHa 105, an electric multiple unit car built in August 1930 by  for the  in Kanagawa Prefecture. MoHa 105 was renumbered MoHa 115 in May 1941 following the absorption of the Tsurumi Rinkō Railway into the Japanese National Railways (JNR) network, and later worked on the JNR Toyamako Line (now part of the Toyama Light Rail Toyamakō Line) in Toyama Prefecture. It was removed from service on 10 September 1944 and placed into storage at Ōi Works in Tokyo, and officially withdrawn on 28 March 1949.

The car was subsequently purchased by the Choshi Electric Railway, and rebuilt by  before entering service on the line from 10 August 1951.

The trolley pole current collector added on transfer to the Choshi Electric Railway was later replaced by a bow collector, and this was replaced by a PS13 lozenge-type pantograph from April 1990.

The original Kisha BW bogies were replaced in 1984 by Nippon Sharyo D-16 bogies from former Iyo Railway rolling stock.

In later years, it was used as an inspection and works train for overhead wire maintenance, with a platform added to the roof.

The car was withdrawn in fiscal 2008 and stored at Tokawa Station before being cut up in October 2009.

Gilliam and Bisbee Building. The Gilliam and Bisbee Building is an historic commercial structure in Heppner in the U.S. state of Oregon.

Description and history 
Built in 1919 for the Gilliam and Bisbee Hardware Company to replace a building destroyed by fire in  1918, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

The two-story rectangular building measures , and it has a full basement. The foundation and walls are made of concrete. The front facade is of tan-colored brick paired with darker brown brick above the storefront, its window pairs, and its decorative horizontal corbel courses. Strong vertical elements include pilasters that extend above the roof line and are topped with imitation chimney caps.

Originally, the first floor contained retail space, a stock room, a business office, a plumbing shop, a freight elevator (which served both floors and the basement), stairways, and perhaps a leased office. An open display space for farm implements occupied the second floor, also the likely site of a restroom.

Members of the Gilliam and Bisbee families, arriving in the 1860s, were among the earliest settlers in the region. Two members of the second generation, Timothy Bisbee and Frank Gilliam, both involved in stock raising, became brothers-in-law in 1882 and by 1889 were in business together as the Gilliam and Bisbee Hardware Company. Subsequent generations of both families worked in the store through the late 1950s.

In 2019, the Howard and Beth Bryant Foundation restored and renovated the Gilliam & Bisbee Building into an event center, apartment-like suites, and a conference room.
