Flash Gordon (pinball). Flash Gordon is a pinball machine produced by Bally. It was the first split-level pinball machine from Bally, as well as the first game to use the "Squawk and Talk" sound board. It was also the second production Bally game with speech (Bally's 1980 Xenon was the first, utilizing a crude 'vocalizer' board set). The game is based on the perennially popular "Flash Gordon" character and stories of comics, film and television. The pinball machine was specifically produced to coincide and promote the 1980 film Flash Gordon.

Seghe Airport. Seghe Airport is an airport on Seghe in the Solomon Islands .

The Segi Point area was secured by the 4th Marine Raider Battalion on 30 June 1943 in the opening phase of the New Georgia Campaign. The 47th Naval Construction Battalion (Seabees) landed with the Marines and immediately began construction of a fighter airstrip. Bad weather and poor soil conditions delayed construction, but by 18 July a coral-surfaced  by  runway was ready for use. By the end of July taxiways and revetments had been completed. In August the runway was widened to  and two   gas tanks had been constructed and by September 52 hardstands had been completed.

The field was then used as a fighter strip to support the Rendova and Munda Point Landings.

USAAF units based at Segi Point included:
44th Pursuit Squadron operating P-40s

HT3R. The High-Temperature Teaching & Test Reactor (HT3R or HT3R) is a multifaceted energy research facility proposed by the University of Texas of the Permian Basin (UTPB) and the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), to be located in Andrews County, Texas. The proposal envisions a 25MWt (Megawatt thermal) reactor operated by a merchant nuclear power operating company with the education and science at the facility managed through an arrangement between LANL and UTPB/UTS (University of Texas System).

The original Pre-Conceptual Design (PCD) for the facility was completed in January 2008 by UTPB and General Atomics. The HT3R, per the PCD, is a "Generation IV" (GEN-IV) gas-cooled (with Helium) reactor with a graphite block core containing fuel “compacts.” These compacts are made by mixing graphite with TRISO fuel pellets with Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) which has less than 20% of Uranium-235. However, the “new” planned operating temperature of 700° to 750 °C is well below the previous PCD operating temperature of 850° to 900 °C first called for by the DOE’s NGNP program.

The HT3R will be the experimental cornerstone of a new energy research center at the UTPB. Since the early 1990s, no new university teaching and training reactors have been constructed, and in fact, many across the United States have been shut down. Further, only two other aging water-cooled research reactors, one at the University of Missouri (1966) and one at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (1967), are capable of operating at power levels greater than 10 MWt that can provide useful facilities for fuel qualification, training, and basic advanced research. Neither of these reactors can provide the enhanced capabilities necessary for education, research, and pilot-scale testing for Gen-IV reactor systems.

The mission of the HT3R is to serve as a national user facility for:
Demonstrating that a Green FreedomTH pilot plant can be used to manufacture synthetic hydrocarbon fuels, in sufficient quantities per kWhr, at remote sites around the world for military and civilian applications.
Performing research and testing to qualify the TRISO LEU fuel for GEN-IV reactors in the US.
Exploring the use of proliferation-resistant fuels in the US, including thorium-based and other advanced fuel cycle concepts.
Performing basic and applied research using the enhanced capabilities offered by a "Generation IV" type nuclear reactor system.
Facilitating the education and training of the next generation of nuclear scientists and engineers.

This joint effort uses the scientific and technical resources of New Mexico and Texas to enhance national energy security and regional economic development, plus reduce the environmental impact of GEN-IV nuclear reactors plus liquid fuels production and use. These new technologies offer promising concepts for using low-risk technologies to provide security and economic stability for US energy supplies.

Elektor TV Games Computer. The Elektor TV Games Computer (TVGC) was a programmable computer system sold by Elektor in kit form from April 1979. It used the Signetics 2650 CPU with the Signetics 2636 PVI for graphics and sound. These were the same chips as used in the Interton VC 4000 console family. A 2K monitor ROM written by Philips and a cassette interface were the most important differences between the TVGC and the Interton family. Many VC 4000 games were adapted versions of TV Games Computer games. It is possible to add cartridge slots to the TVGC to enable it to play console games, and the Hobby Module of the Acetronic console effectively transforms it into a basic TVGC.

The RAM and sound capabilities of the computer can be expanded. A pair of General Instruments AY-3-8910 Programmable Sound Generators are used in the expanded version, meaning that this machine had the most powerful sound capabilities of the time. A noise generator, random number generators and cartridge ports are among the other expansions described. Hardware and software were available from Elektor and Locosoft.

The October 2008 issue of Elektor magazine features the TVGC in its "Retronics" section.

Interior

History
The first 8000 series trains were introduced in 1992.

Six-car and four-cars sets (and occasionally a pair of four-car sets) used to be operated on splitting services which separated and re-joined at Takahatafudō Station until 2006. From 2013 to 2019, all six- and four-car 0-subseries sets underwent a refurbishment program. Among several technical upgrades, the cabs of the two inner ends were removed to form 10-car sets.

The 8000 series trains are used exclusively on Keio Corporation lines. Thus, unlike some other Keio trains, they do not continue past Shinjuku on to the Toei Shinjuku Line.

Set 8705F was involved on the October 2021 Tokyo attack.

Special liveries
Set 8713 received a special all-over green livery in September 2009 evoking the livery carried by the former 2000 series trains.

Waldschlösschen Bridge. The Waldschlösschen Bridge () is a road bridge across the Elbe river in Dresden. The bridge was intended to remedy inner-city traffic congestion.  Its construction was highly controversial, as the Dresden Elbe Valley had been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and UNESCO expressed strong concerns against the bridge, noting its intent to withdraw the World Heritage title if the bridge were built. As a result of this project, the Dresden Elbe Valley was listed in 2006 as an "Endangered World Heritage Site", and in 2009 became only the second World Heritage Site to be de-listed.

History 

As plans to build a bridge at this location had existed for a century, in 1996, in line with a revised traffic model, the Dresden City Council agreed to the project. After almost eight years of preparation for the process of obtaining planning permission, a public referendum on whether to build the bridge was held in 2005. This resulted in a majority voting for the bridge.  In April 2006, the city council stopped the plans following the UNESCO complaint. The Free State of Saxony complained, and in March 2007, at a legal hearing, the Sächsisches Oberverwaltungsgericht (the state administrative high court) ruled in favor of the planned bridge. The ruling was described by Vice President of the German Bundestag Wolfgang Thierse as "a sad day for Germany".

Construction stalled after an administrative court ruled in August 2007 that steps needed to be taken to ensure that the endangered lesser horseshoe bat was protected as it was believed that only around 650 remained in Germany, with some living near the site of the proposed bridge. German courts ruled in November 2007 that work could resume.

On 25 June 2009, the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO voted to remove the status of World Heritage Site from the Dresden Elbe Valley because of the construction of the Waldschlösschenbrücke. It was the first time a European site had ever been delisted, and only the second time anywhere in the world after the Wildlife Reserve in Al Wusta.

The bridge was designed by ESKR: Eisenloffel and Sattler (engineers) and Kolb and Ripke (architects) who won the open competition in 1997. It was built by PERI Gmbh.

The bridge was officially opened on 24 August 2013, and opened to vehicular traffic two days later.

UPEDU. The UPEDU or Unified Process for Education is a software development process specialized for education, developed by Pierre-N. Robillard (École Polytechnique de Montréal), Philippe Kruchten (Rational Software) and Patrick d'Astous (École Polytechnique de Montréal).

UPEDU is a customization of the IBM Rational Unified Process (or RUP) and therefore inherits the most prominent properties of RUP, such as:
 It is iterative and an implementation of the spiral model
 The process is divided in time into four phases; the inception, elaboration, construction and transition phases, each of which consists of one or more milestones. For each phase, the set of artifacts (work products) and the work flow are defined by the process.
 The activities are categorized into disciplines, to clarify the required expertise and categorize the activities.

To help implementing the UPEDU in educational purposes, the authors have put a website online that provides most of the information that students need to use the process in their project.

Disciplines 
The disciplines in UPEDU in comparison to RUP are more aimed towards getting familiar with the unifying process and teaching the effect of using and adapting the process. Therefore, the RUP model has been simplified on some points, and the Nusiness modeling discipline, the Deployment discipline and the Environment discipline have been left out of the process.

Known uses 
 The Dutch University of Groningen and the Swedish Linnaeus University offer students a collaborative course called ISEP (International Software Engineering Project) in which UPEDU is heavily used.
 The École Polytechnique de Montréal, alma mater of Robillard, features a course focused on software project management using UPEDU as a teaching tool.

Land use capability map. Land use capability maps are maps created to represent the potential uses of a "unit" of land. They are measured using various indicators, although the most common are five physical factors (rock type, soil type, slope, erosion degree and type, and vegetation). In more scientific terms, these can be classed as lithology, edaphology, topography, gradient, and biotic features.

Land use capability maps must not be confused with land use maps. The former shows the potential uses (usually in relation to farming) whilst the latter shows the actual use for the land at the present time.
