Power Plant and Dam No. 4. Power Plant and Dam No. 4 is a historic hydroelectric power generation station on the Potomac River, located near Shepherdstown on the county line between Berkeley and Jefferson County, West Virginia.  The power plant is a tall one-story, limestone building on a high stone foundation.  It is five bays long and has a gable roof.  Dam 4 uses horizontal shaft turbines connected by rope drives to horizontal shaft generators. This plant is probably the last commercially operated rope-driven hydroelectric plant in the United States. The building is built into a hillside, so the main floor is the top floor.  The power plant was originally built by the Martinsburg Electric Company.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

In 2013, the power plant was sold by FirstEnergy to Harbor Hydro Holdings LLC. The power plant has a rated capacity of 1.9 megawatts.

Building the Dam

The dam was originally built for the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. On June 7, 1832, the contract was awarded to Joseph Hollman, and the work was completed in June 1835, at a cost of $50.803.15 To avoid construction costs, the canal entered the slackwater above the dam, and continued in the slackwater for about 3 miles. This area was dubbed "Big Slackwater" by the canallers.

Nottingham Asphalt Tester. The Nottingham Asphalt Tester (NAT) is equipment used for rapid determination of modulus, permanent deformation and fatigue of bituminous mixtures.  It uses cylindrical specimens that are cored from the highway or prepared in laboratory. 

These mechanical properties are essential to people involved in the production of roads and the development of materials used in road construction.  NATs are used across the world by materials testing laboratories, universities, oil companies, regional laboratories, contractors and consulting engineers.

The NAT was invented in the 1980s at the University of Nottingham by Keith Cooper, who later founded Cooper Research Technology Ltd.

Eastern Treatment Plant. The Eastern Treatment Plant is an  sewage treatment plant, located in the suburb of Bangholme in Victoria, Australia,  southeast of Melbourne's central business district.

The plant was built in 1975 and is owned by Melbourne Water. Following treatment, some water is used as recycled water in the local area. South East Water is a major supplier of recycled water from the Eastern Treatment Plant. The rest is pumped through  of pipeline to discharge into Bass Strait at Boags Rocks on the Mornington Peninsula.

Description
The plant is on an  site bordered by the Patterson River to the north, the Mornington Peninsula Freeway to the west, and the EastLink Tollway to the south and east.

The plant treats around 40 percent of Melbourne's sewage — about  a day — from about 1.5 million people, mainly in the eastern and south-eastern suburbs.  It generates some of its own electricity, as well as heating and cooling power from biogas.

Upgrade
After years of lobbying by community groups led by the Clean Ocean Foundation, as of November 2011, the Eastern Treatment Plant was undergoing an upgrade to reduce environmental impact of the water discharge and increase water reuse applications of the water. The wastewater will be treated by ozone, biological filters, ultraviolet disinfection, and chlorine.  The UV disinfection system that will be installed at the Plant will be the largest in Australia, consisting of 7 closed-vessel UV reactors.

Birds
Along with the nearby Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands, the ETP is part of the Carrum Wetlands Important Bird Area (IBA) and supports many bird species of regional, state, national and international conservation significance.  Species for which the IBA is globally important are the sharp-tailed sandpiper, blue-billed duck, chestnut teal and Australasian bittern.  There is no public access to the ETP for birdwatchers but the birdlife has been monitored since 1998 by monthly surveys conducted by Birds Australia, with 177 species recorded for the site.

Abilene and Southern Railway. The Abilene and Southern Railway was a railroad company that existed from 1909 to 1978 and was eventually taken over by the Missouri Pacific Railroad.

History 

The Abilene and Southern Railway Company was founded on January 13, 1909, in Abilene, Texas by Morgan Jones (1839-1926). Jones proposed to construct  of railroad. Construction work started soon and on April 23, 1909, the first official train ran the eight miles (12.9 km) from Abilene to Iberis, Texas. From September 11 the same year, the road was operating from Abilene to Ballinger, Texas, a total of , where a connection to a branch line of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway was established. Finally, on October 1, 1910, a railroad from Anson, Texas to Hamlin, Texas () was opened. Plans for further extensions to Sonora and San Angelo, Texas were dropped soon thereafter. Between Abilene and Anson (), the Abilene & Southern used existing tracks built in 1907 by the Abilene and Northern Railway and meanwhile operated by the Colorado and Southern Railway. The total trackage used by the Abilene & Southern was . 

On April 25, 1927, the Texas and Pacific Railway was authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission to buy the entire stock of the Abilene & Southern which continued to operate the road. The ICC allowed abandonment of the Anson–Hamlin track including the end of the trackage rights over the railroad from Abilene to Anson on January 9, 1937, and in February that year operations north of Abilene ceased. The stretch from Winters to Ballinger () lost rail traffic in 1972 and was torn up. In 1976 the Texas & Pacific merged with the Missouri Pacific Railroad and the Abilene & Southern ceased to exist on November 1, 1978, when it was also merged with the Missouri Pacific. The remaining railroad from Abilene to Winters was later abandoned.

Passenger operations 

Before the railroad to Hamlin was opened, there was one daily train from Abilene to Ballinger. With the new road, a second train, running daily except Sunday from Hamlin to Ballinger, was inaugurated. Passenger trains ceased to use the Colorado & Southern trackage between Abilene and Anson during World War I and the Hamlin train now ran only between Anson and Hamlin. Later the link was reestablished and the Hamlin train now ran to Abilene, but the Abilene–Ballinger train was dropped on Sundays. In 1926, both trains operated as mixed train
s. In December 1941 regular passenger service ended. The mixed train now ran on irregular schedule subject to freight connections. This lasted until May 1957 when the line became freight-only.

Hamerton Zoo Park. Hamerton Zoo Park is situated in Hamerton, near Sawtry, Huntingdonshire, England.

Development
Planning permission for change of use from agricultural land to a zoo was granted in 1988, with the park being opened on 15 June 1990 by local MP, then-Chancellor, and future Prime Minister John Major. The zoo has two large wind turbines to provide power for the park erected during the second half of November 2012; the zoo was described as being the "most environmentally-friendly zoo in Europe" in 2014. An application for two 50 kW turbines was turned down in August 2015 by Huntingdonshire District Council.

Conservation

The zoo has a conservation sanctuary which has a collection of nearly 100 different species including rare / endangered animals and birds.

Tiger incident
The park was evacuated on the morning of 29 May 2017 after what was described as a 'serious incident'. It was later confirmed that zookeeper Rosa King, age 33, had been killed in the tiger enclosure at about 11:15a.m. that day.

Japanese people in Egypt. There is a small community of Japanese people in Egypt, mainly of expatriates from Japan. According to Japan's Ministry of Foreign affairs, there were about 1,051 Japanese residents in Egypt as of 2009.

Overview
Japanese Rail engineers and experts dispatched by the Japan International Cooperation Agency have been coming to Cairo to provide technical guidance on inspection and repair work at Cairo Metro.

Japanese firms Kinki Sharyo Co. and the Toshiba Corporation were contracted to produce the majority of the rolling stock for the project. There is also a team of Japanese archaeologists working in Egypt for over 40 years. One of their major projects was radar scanning inside and outside the Great Pyramid. The team has also conducted work at Dashur and Abusir.

Following the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, many Japanese nationals in Egypt left the country. About 470 Japanese nationals fled the growing unrest in Cairo on three Japanese government-charted airplanes arranged by the Japanese Foreign Ministry's emergency task force in February 2011. The Japanese government was also working to check on the welfare of Japanese nationals living in Egypt in the wake of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s resignation.

Intelligent Medical Objects. Intelligent Medical Objects (IMO) is a privately held company specializing in developing, managing and licensing medical vocabularies. IMO partners with various health care organizations, medical content providers and EHR developers.

Founded in 1994, IMO is based in Rosemont, Illinois. IMO's clinical interface terminology, which helps to map diagnostic terminologies to medical concepts and billing codes, was launched in 1995. Products such as Problem (IT) and Procedure (IT) aim to help physicians more easily choose the correct medical term for their cases, which then aids in finding the correct billing code.  This allows the clinician to capture the patient condition more accurately, with more familiar terms and without slowing the EHR workflow.

These products' medical vocabularies are regularly updated so as to be mapped with standardized vocabularies such as ICD and SNOMED, as well as to adhere to the October 1, 2013/2014 date of compliance for migrating to ICD-10. Each IMO term within the clinical interface terminology is in turn mapped to the appropriate administrative code set.  This allows the evolution of code sets to go on and minimize the impact on the clinician; as code sets/rules change, all re-mappings are handled by IMO, enabling the clinicians to continue leveraging the same vernacular.

IMO works with companies such as MEDITECH, Allscripts, Cerner and Epic Systems, providing vocabularies for the companies' health care software applications to be used by various hospitals and physicians in those companies' client networks. IMO's products and vocabularies are thus used in sites across the United States. In 2012, IMO opened a research and development office on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign to be staffed by student interns from the university.

In February 2013, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published an article that demonstrates how IMO's interface terminology was found to accurately categorize coronary heart disease and heart failure events. IMO's terminology service was found to be 32–42% more accurate compared to algorithms using reimbursement coding and classification techniques.

Later in 2013, IMO opened up a research-and-development office in the Research Park, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

In 2023, IMO acquired Melax Technologies, Inc.

MessagePack. MessagePack is a computer data interchange format. It is a binary form for representing simple data structures like arrays and associative arrays. MessagePack aims to be as compact and simple as possible. The official implementation is available in a variety of languages, some official libraries and others community created, such as C, C++, C#, D, Erlang, Go, Haskell, Java, JavaScript (NodeJS), Lua, OCaml, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Rust, Scala, Smalltalk, and Swift.

Data types and syntax
Data structures processed by MessagePack loosely correspond to those used in JSON format. They consist of the following element types:
 nil
 bool, Boolean (true and false)
 int, integer (up to 64 bits signed or unsigned)
 float, floating point numbers (IEEE single/double precision)
 str, UTF-8 string
 bin, binary data (up to 232 − 1 bytes)
 array
 map, an associative array
 ext (arbitrary data of an application-defined format, up to 232 − 1 bytes)
 timestamp (ext type = −1) (up to 64-bit seconds and 32-bit nanoseconds)

Comparison to other formats
MessagePack is more compact than JSON, but imposes limitations on array and integer sizes. On the other hand, it allows binary data and non-UTF-8 encoded strings. In JSON, map keys have to be strings, but in MessagePack there is no such limitation and any type can be a map key, including types like maps and arrays, and, like YAML, numbers.

Compared to BSON, MessagePack is more space-efficient. BSON is designed for fast in-memory manipulation, whereas MessagePack is designed for efficient transmission over the wire. For example, BSON requires null terminators at the end of all strings and inserts string indexes for list elements, while MessagePack doesn't. BSON represents both arrays and maps internally as documents, which are maps, where an array is a map with keys as decimal strings counting up from 0. MessagePack on the other hand represents both maps and arrays as arrays, where each map key-value pair is contiguous, making odd items keys and even items values.

The Protocol Buffers format provides a significantly more compact transmission format than MessagePack because it doesn't transmit field names. However, while JSON and MessagePack aim to serialize arbitrary data structures with type tags, Protocol Buffers requires a schema to define the data types. Protocol Buffers compiler creates boilerplate code in the target language to facilitate integration of serialization into the application code; MessagePack returns only a dynamically typed data structure and provides no automatic structure checks.

MessagePack is referenced in  of CBOR.

Calcutta Technical School. The Calcutta Technical School (CTS) is a technical institute is located in the city of Kolkata, West Bengal of India. It is affiliated to the West Bengal State Council of Technical and Vocational Education and Skill Development (WBSCT & VE & ESD), approved by All India Council For Technical Education (AICTE) and provides Diploma level technical education in Electrical, Mechanical, Computer Science and Civil Engineering.

History
Calcutta was the center of activity of British India during the 18th Century. After industrial revolution it was seeking its industrial expansion in its vast empire. The immense industrial potentiality of Bengal attracted the attention of entrepreneurs. As a result of a number of industries grew up in and around Calcutta. The requirement of the engineers of these industries were largely met by a few engineering colleges then existed. The problem engaged the attention of the Govt. of Bengal and The Calcutta Technical Institute Committee was appointed in 1912 to advise the Govt. on the question of creating a technical institute in Calcutta. The two institutes viz. Calcutta Technical Night School, Bowbazar and Bengal Technical Institute, Upper Circular Road were agreed to be absorbed by the proposed technical institute. Erection of the building on the land acquired by the Govt. of Bengal at a nominal rent of Rs. 1/annum was started in 1922 at an estimated expenditure of Rs. 8.5 lakh. Before the final opening of the school on 1 February 1926, the Governing Body appointed its first Principal Mr. E.G. Hogben from the U.K. The school was offered before converted into a full-fledged polytechnic in 1988, the following courses of studies:
1. Diploma Course in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering (4 years) of Board of Apprentice Training
2. Part-time Diploma Course in Civil Engineering of the state council for technical education, West Bengal
3. Shipwright Course 
4. Electric Supervisors' Course 
5. Coaching classes for A.M.I.E. examination 
6. Related instruction classes for Trade Apprentices under the Apprentice Act 1961

Departments 
CTS provides diploma level education in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science and Technology, Civil Engineering  and Electrical Engineering.
