Furuichi Kōi. Baron  was a Japanese civil engineer, who was president of Kōka Daigaku, the present college of engineering of the University of Tokyo, and founding president of the Tokyo Underground Railway, "the first underground railway in the Orient".

Biography

In 1854 he was born as a son of Furuichi Takashi a retainer of Sakai clan in Edo. In 1869, he entered Kaisei gakkō, in 1870, he was elected student on scholarship in Himeji Domain, and entered Daigaku Nankō, then studied abroad to Ecole Centrale des Arts et Manufactures in Paris as the Ministry of Education first student studying abroad. In 1879, he graduated and got the degree of BE. In the same year he entered the Faculty of Science of University of Paris, in 1889 graduated, got Bachelor of Science, and went home and took up a post as Naimushō Doboku-kyoku Yatoi. In 1881, he became the University of Tokyo lecturer and after that, he concurrently held the posts of the university teacher with the bureaucrat technical expert.

In 1886, when he was 32 years old, he was installed in Kōka Daigaku which was the forerunner of Tokyo Daigaku Kōgakubu (the University of Tokyo engineering department) first president, in 1888 was received the degree of the first Kōgaku Hakushi (Doctor of Engineering) and in 1894 was installed in the first engineering works Doboku Gikan (Vice-Minister for Engineering Affairs) in Naimushō.

He attempted to improve an engineering works public administration and established Doboku Hōki (an engineering works law). His typical services include the construction of Yokohama-ko. He helped to improve the reputation of engineering in Japan in the world as the first chairman of Nihon Kōgakkai (Japan Federation of Engineering Societies).

He would join Noritsugu Hayakawa as president of the Tokyo Underground Railway in 1920, founding the first subway system in Asia.

Legacy

The famous Japanese author Kamitake Hiraoka better known as Yukio Mishima was named after Furuichi Koi and his first name 'Kamitake' was pronounced as 'Koi' by family members. This was a gesture of honour as Koi was a benefactor of Mishima grandfather's clan - Sadataro.

Sky Destroyer. is a rail shooter video game released by Taito in 1985 as an arcade game as well as for the Family Computer. Controlling a Japanese World War II monoplane, the player assumes the role of the pilot of the respective naval aircraft who is required to destroy enemies to clear stages.

Gameplay

In Sky Destroyer, the player controls a plane, equipped with machine guns and torpedoes and ammunition is unlimited.

The color of the sky changes according to the time of the day (afternoon, evening, night). F6F Hellcats (F4U Corsairs in the Arcade Version) are common enemy fighter planes the player will encounter. Occasionally, the  player would run into a B-24 bomber and has to shoot each of its four engines before the B-24 flies away. Sometimes when player has shot down a number of B-24s, they would encounter a falling satellite across the screen. A high number of points would be rewarded if the satellite gets destroyed. There are bonus stages in this game.

Enemy resistance comes not only from the air, but from land and sea as well. Sometimes, an American naval destroyer or submarine would try to down the player's plane with anti-aircraft fire. Aircraft carriers can sometimes be seen in the distant horizon but can still be sunk with torpedoes. At the end of a stage, the player faces a mobile shore battery on an island. This battery must be destroyed in order to complete the mission. If the player is hit even just once by enemy fire, his plane crashes and he loses one life point. The game is over when all life points are used up.

Sky Invader

A hacked version of this game made by Inventor is known as Sky Invader. The differences between the original and the hacked version are:
 Different title screen.
 Different music.
 Different planes (both the player's and the enemies are modified).
 The sky is pink.
 The water color is different.
 The player starts with nine airplanes instead of three.
 The stages are called "WAR".

Reception 
In Japan, Game Machine listed Sky Destroyer on their December 15, 1985 issue as being the third most-successful table arcade unit of the month.

Methylphosphonyl difluoride. Methylphosphonyl difluoride (DF), also known as EA-1251  or difluoro, is a chemical weapon precursor. Its chemical formula is CH3POF2.  It is a Schedule 1 substance under the Chemical Weapons Convention. It is used for production of sarin and soman as a component of binary chemical weapons; an example is the M687 artillery shell, where it is used together with a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and isopropyl amine, producing sarin.

Preparation 
Methylphosphonyl difluoride can be prepared by reacting methylphosphonyl dichloride with hydrogen fluoride (HF) or sodium fluoride (NaF).

Safety
Methylphosphonyl difluoride is both reactive and corrosive. It is absorbed through skin and causes burns and mild nerve agent symptoms. It reacts with water, producing HF fumes and methylphosphonic acid as a result. It is also capable of corroding glass.

Significance in international relations
In 2013–2014, the stockpile of chemicals covered by the CWC was removed from Syria and destroyed.  Of the stockpile, 581 tons (over 96%) of the stockpile was DF.  It was destroyed by the U.S. Army on the MV Cape Ray by hydrolysis.

Methyl anthranilate. Methyl anthranilate, also known as MA, methyl 2-aminobenzoate, or carbomethoxyaniline, is an ester of anthranilic acid. Its chemical formula is C8H9NO2. It has a strong and fruity grape smell, and one of its key uses is as a flavoring agent.

Chemical properties
It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with melting point 24 °C and boiling point 256 °C. It has a density of 1.168 g/cm3 at 20 °C. It has a refractive index of 1.583 at 589 nm of wavelength and 20 °C. It shows a light blue-violet fluorescence. It is very slightly soluble in water, and soluble in ethanol and propylene glycol. It is insoluble in paraffin oil. It is combustible, with flash point at 104 °C. Pure, it has a fruity grape smell; at 25 ppm it has a sweet, fruity, Concord grape-like smell with a musty and berry nuance.

Uses
Methyl anthranilate acts as a bird repellent by irritating sensory receptors. Dimethyl anthranilate (DMA) has a similar effect. It is also used for part of the flavor of grape Kool-Aid.  It is used for flavoring of candy, soft drinks (e.g. grape soda), fruit (e.g. Grāpples), chewing gum, and nicotine products.

Methyl anthranilate both as a component of various natural essential oils and as a synthesised aroma-chemical is used extensively in modern perfumery.  It is also used to produce Schiff bases with aldehydes, many of which are also used in perfumery.  In a perfumery context the most common Schiff's Base is known as aurantiol, produced by combining methyl anthranilate and hydroxycitronellal.

In organic synthesis, methyl anthranilate can be used as a source of the highly reactive aryne, benzyne. It is obtained by diazotization of the amine group using sodium nitrite which eliminates nitrogen and CO2 giving benzyne as an intermediate for Diels-Alder addition or other substitution at the ring.

Occurrence
Methyl anthranilate naturally occurs in the Concord grapes and other Vitis labrusca grapes and hybrids thereof, and in bergamot, black locust, champak, gardenia, jasmine, lemon, mandarin orange, neroli, oranges, rue oil, strawberry, tuberose, wisteria, galangal, and ylang ylang. It is also a primary component of the essential apple flavor, along with ethyl acetate and ethyl butyrate.

Gammator. ӀA Gammator was a gamma irradiator made by the Radiation Machinery Corporation during the U.S. Atoms for Peace project of the 1950s and 1960s. The gammator was distributed by the "Atomic Energy Commission to schools, hospitals, and private firms to promote nuclear understanding." Around 120-140 Gammators were distributed throughout the U.S. and the whereabouts of several of them are unknown, although the Department of Energy has removed and destroyed many of the units.

Specifications
A Gammator weighed about 1,850 pounds and contained about 400 curies of caesium-137 in a pellet roughly the size of a pen.

Concerns
Because of the massive shielding of a Gammator, the machine is very safe when used as intended (e.g. school science experiments); according to the Los Alamos National Laboratory, it is similar to machines used to irradiate blood.  However, this amount of nuclear material could pose a significant problem if used as the radioactive component in a dirty bomb.

Ryhope Engines Museum. The Ryhope Engines Museum is a visitor attraction in the Ryhope suburb of Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England.

The Grade II* listed building is a popular landmark in Ryhope and is based at The Ryhope Pumping Station, operational for 100 years before closing in 1967. The building is more or less Jacobean in style with curving Dutch gables, and a tapering octagonal brick chimney. The historian of British industrial architecture Hubert Pragnell calls it a "cathedral of pistons and brass set within a fine shell of Victorian brickwork with no expense spared".

The volunteer-run museum contains two Victorian beam engines, which are kept in working order by members of the Ryhope Engines Trust. The site is owned by Northumbrian Water, successors to the Sunderland & South Shields Water Company which built the complex in the 1860s.

The engines are a near identical pair of double-acting compound rotative beam engines by the local North East firm R & W Hawthorn of Newcastle - 'possibly the finest pair of compound beam engines in Great Britain'. Each beam weighs 22 tons and each flywheel 18 tons. Both engines can be seen fully operational and in steam on various weekends and bank holidays each year.

The museum also contains three 1908 Lancashire boilers (two of which are still in regular service), a blacksmith's forge, a waterwheel, numerous steam engines and pumps, a replica plumber's shop, and many items associated with waterworks. In addition, visitors arriving in the engine house are now able to see to the bottom of the 250-foot well shaft by means of a viewing panel inserted in the floor.

Haute Qualité Environnementale. The Haute Qualité Environnementale or HQE (High Quality Environmental standard) is a standard for green building in France, based on the principles of sustainable development first set out at the 1992 Earth Summit. The standard is controlled by the Paris-based Association pour la Haute Qualité Environnementale (ASSOHQE).

Coverage
The standard specifies criteria for the following:

Managing the impacts on the outdoor environment
 Harmonious relationship between buildings and their immediate environment
 Integrated choice of construction methods and materials
 The avoidance of nuisance by the construction site.
 Minimizing energy use
 Minimizing water use
 Minimizing waste in operations
 Minimizing building maintenance and repair

Creating a pleasant indoor environment
 Hydrothermal control measures
 Acoustic control measures
 Visual attractiveness
 Measures to control smells
 Hygiene and cleanliness of the indoor spaces
 Air quality controls
 Water quality controls

Future development
On 16 June 2009, it was announced that the CSTB (Centre Scientifique et Technique du Batiment) and its subsidiary CertiVéA had signed a memorandum of understanding to work together with the global arm of the United Kingdom's Building Research Establishment (BRE) to develop a pan-European building environmental assessment method. The BRE developed and markets (BREEAM (the BRE Environmental Assessment Method), which has similarities to the French HQE. Unfortunately, BREEAM and HQE are still disseminating their own standards round the world, leaving little doubt that no pan-European method will emerge in the near future, at least stemming from these two organisations.

International development
Since 2013, the HQE brand is now available for buildings and districts worldwide.
As of 2016 HQE is present in 24 countries.

Stampe et Vertongen. Stampe et Vertongen was a Belgian aircraft manufacturer formed in 1922 and based at Antwerp. The company specialised in design and construction of primary trainers/tourers and advanced trainers. One of their products—the Stampe-Vertongen SV.4—has become known in certain countries as just Stampe.

History
Established in 1922 with Alfred Renard as its chief designer, the company designed a series of trainer/tourer aircraft in the 1920s and 1930s, all prefixed RSV (for Renard, Stampe & Vertongen). In the early 1930s Alfred Renard left to join a company he had formed with his brother Georges Renard Société Anonyme d'Avions et de Moteurs Renard. The RSV company designation prefix then changed to SV. The company's most successful design was the SV.4 of 1933, a light tourer/trainer biplane powered by a de Havilland Gipsy III engine. Although only 35 were produced before the start of the war, a total of 940 were built, mainly under licence by other companies.

The company was renamed Stampe et Renard when Stampe-Vertongen merged with the Renard company. Owing to the German invasion production ceased on 10 May 1940. Post-war activities did not meet with much success, and the company closed down in 1957.

Uruguayan presidential aircraft. The President of Uruguay no longer uses an exclusive presidential aircraft. Instead, he flies in Air Force aircraft.

Current aircraft
The President of Uruguay, currently uses an Embraer EMB 120 Brasilia, operated by the Uruguayan Air Force for flights within South America.

1965–1981
Between 1965 and 1981, the presidential aircraft was a C-47 Dakota (Uruguayan Air Force 507).

1981–1988
In 1981, president Gregorio Alvarez bought a Learjet 35, which was sold by president Julio Maria Sanguinetti in 1988.

2006 Presidential aircraft controversy
On July 6, 2006, president Vazquez announced he was interested in acquiring a presidential aircraft to make his trips cheaper. He even mentioned the possibility of selling one or more old Air Force planes and use the money to afford the new one. However, this announcement led to a scandal with people arguing that the first center-left president in a third world country couldn't make such a frivolous waste of money.
