Red River College Polytechnic (RRC Polytech) is a college located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It is the province's largest institute of applied learning and applied research, with over 200 degree, diploma, and certificate programs, and more than 21,000 students annually.

The college boasts a 94% graduate employment rate and a 96% graduate satisfaction rate. Between 6,000 and 8,000 students attend daily, as well as students registered in continuing and distance education programs. RRC Polytech  hosts approximately 1500 international students each year, from over 60 countries.

It has over 200 full-time programs in such areas as biotechnology, construction trades, digital multimedia, business, aerospace, nursing, engineering technology, as well as others.

RRC Polytech offers one year certificate, two- and three-year diploma, joint-degree and post-graduate advanced diploma programs. English as an Additional Language programs for international students begin each month. The college also offers three Kids Technology Camps throughout the year to introduce kids to technology. "Girls Exploring Trades & Technologies Camp" is a program for girls 12 to 14, "Technology Exploration Camp" is a summer camp program for girls and boys aged 11 to 13, and "Saturday Kids Kamps" introduces Grade 7 students to Electrical Engineering Technology.

History
In 1963, the Notre Dame campus was built and the college name was changed to the Manitoba Institute of Technology (MIT). Half the campus was an arts and science complex, operating under the separate name Manitoba Institute of Applied Arts (MIAA). The two halves consolidated to a single name: Red River Community College (RRCC) in 1969, and in 1998 "Community" was dropped, giving rise to the current RRC Polytech.

In 2004, the Princess Street Campus was built in Downtown Winnipeg, with a large focus on multimedia design, computer technology, and the popular Creative Communications program, which prepares students for careers in advertising, journalism, media production, and public relations.

In 2011, the Princess Street Campus was renamed to the Roblin Centre in honour of former Manitoba Premier Duff Roblin. The Roblin Centre, together with the Paterson GlobalFoods Institute is now known as the Exchange District Campus.

On July 4, 2012, RRC Polytech discontinued over the air broadcasting of student radio station 92.9 Kick FM after nearly 10 years of broadcasting, due to a campus radio policy change by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).

Notre Dame Campus
Located near the intersection of Notre Dame Avenue and King Edward Street (Route 90), the Notre Dame Campus features fitness facilities with cardio, weight equipment, shower facilities, cardio and yoga classes, playing fields and running paths. The campus also has a Print Shoppe, library and student parking lots as well as cafeterias.

The RRC Polytech Students' Association (RRCSA) operates a convenience store at the Notre Dame Campus called "The Ox".

Exchange District Campus

The Roblin Centre

Located at 160 Princess Street in Winnipeg's Exchange District, the Roblin Centre (formerly known as the Princess Street Campus) is home to approximately 200 staff and 2,000 students. The Centre has a focus on modern media, information technology, and business.

The   building features the original façades along Princess Street, and incorporates modern green building technology. The Roblin Centre's construction merged five prominent heritage buildings on Princess Street as well as a 1905 warehouse on William Avenue. The merging of these buildings incorporates a former lane into the current Atrium. Many of the architectural features of the original buildings, such as wood columns, floors, brickwork, millwork, and windows were restored and incorporated into the new structure.

The Roblin Centre has a building energy management system and is the largest C-2000*
building in Canada. The Centre was completed before the advent of LEED Certification in Canada, but the environmental performance of this project would put it at the level of LEED Gold or Platinum. The Centre was the largest Canadian project to date involving extensive material re-use, and incorporates a 34 kW building-integrated photovoltaic system which was the largest of its kind at the time of installation.

The Roblin Centre features fitness facilities, Campus Store, a library and a full-service Tim Hortons.

Similar to "The Ox" at the Notre Dame Campus, the RRCSA operates a convenience store at the Roblin Centre called "The Mercantile".

Paterson GlobalFoods Institute

The Paterson GlobalFoods Institute is the home of the Culinary Arts, Hospitality and Tourism Management and Professional Baking and Patisserie programs. Located in the Exchange District, the Institute was completed in January 2013.

In May 2009, the Government of Canada pledged the college with $9.5-million of funding to help reconstruct the Union Bank Building at the corner of Main Street and William Avenue in downtown Winnipeg. The Manitoba government also announced it would contribute $5-million for the construction of the building.

The Institute is located in the Union Bank Building in Winnipeg's Exchange District, an 11-storey building that dates back to 1903. The  institute provides classroom and kitchen space and two restaurants on the first three floors, as well as residence for 103 students on the floors above. The renovation is expected to cost $34 million, up from the initial $27 million estimate, and involved the addition of two new glass fronted structures adjacent to the existing Union Bank Building. The new adjacent structures were required for the project, as the tower itself could not house the necessary heating and cooling systems. The Union Bank Tower is the last skyscraper of this vintage remaining in Canada, and had been sitting vacant since 1992.

Scholarships & Bursaries
The Government of Canada sponsors an Aboriginal Bursaries Search Tool that lists over 680 scholarships, bursaries, and other incentives offered by governments, universities, and industry to support Aboriginal post-secondary participation.

RRC Polytech scholarships for Aboriginal, First Nations and Métis students include:

Newspaper
The official newspaper of RRC Polytech is "The Projector", which is published by the RRC Polytech Students' Association every second Monday. The Projector has been the official RRC Polytech student newspaper since 1967.

Restaurants
Until December 2012, Red River College students operated "Prairie Lights", a fine dining restaurant at the Notre Dame Campus. The restaurant featured full service lunch and dinner menus from September to November and March to May. The evening program featured flambé service and was licensed for alcohol service. The restaurant provided practical experience to the students of the Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management programs, and also functioned as a catering room for the Food Services Department for private functions. The restaurant was open to the public. In December 2012, the restaurant closed, with plans to move the program to Jane's, a fine dining restaurant at the Paterson GlobalFoods Institute.

The restaurants in the Paterson GlobalFoods Institute opened to the public in early 2013. The Culinary Exchange café opened on 15 January 2013, and Jane's opened 21 February 2013.

Radio Station
Students in RRC Polytech's Creative Communications program run an online radio station known as "Red River Radio". The radio station is an opportunity for students to host, program and produce both music and news/talk format radio, and features music and talk shows, as well as news, sports, and weather.

Launched on August 24, 2012, the online radio station replaces the over-the-air local radio station formerly run by the College, 92.9 Kick FM. The online station follows similar format to the discontinued broadcast station, with 24-hour programming and a focus on local indie rock and folk bands.

Directions Conference
RRC Polytech operates a yearly Business and Applied Arts conference called "Directions". The conference promotes networking between current students and potential employers, and features a roundtable event with representatives from career areas such as Accounting, Finance, Creative Arts, Entrepreneurship, Hospitality, Information Technology, Sales and Marketing, and Management.

Snæfellsjökull er et bjerg i Island med en jøkul eller gletscher (islandsk jökull) der dækker toppen. Det har en højde på 1446 moh. Bjergets navn er egentlig Snæfell, men det bliver sædvanligvis kaldt Snæfellsjökull for at skælne mellem to andre bjerge der også hedder Snæfell. Snæfellsjökull dækker den vestligste del af Snæfellsnes-halvøen i Island. Den kan nogle gange blive set fra Reykjavík over bugten Faxaflói (Faxefjord), en afstand på rund regnet 120 km.

Bjerget er et af de mest berømte steder i Island, først og fremmest på grund af romanen Rejsen til jordens indre (1864) af den franske forfatter Jules Verne, hvor romanens hovedpersoner opdager en indgang i Snæfellsjökull som leder til en passage der fører til en fantastisk verden i jordens centrum.

Bjerget er en del af Snæfellsjökull nationalpark (Þjóðgarðurinn Snæfellsjökull).

Nedenfor Snæfellsjökull var stedet hvor den historiske Erik den Røde i slutningen af 900-tallet drog ud på sin berømte sejlads vestover, som ledte til at han opdagede og udforskede Grønland.

I august 2012 var bjergtoppen snefri for første gang i historisk tid.(is)

Medea in Corinto (Medea en Corinto)  es una ópera en dos actos con música de Simon Mayr y libreto de Felice Romani. Encargada por el Teatro San Carlos de Nápoles, se estrenó el 28 de noviembre de 1813.

Habiendo tenido gran éxito, en los años siguientes fue representada en numerosos teatros italianos y europeos, pero pronto desapareció de los teatros, eclipsada por la versión, más famosa, de Luigi Cherubini. Fue redescubierta en tiempos modernos en 1977, con Leyla Gencer protagonista en Nápoles. Actualmente se representa muy rara vez. En las estadísticas de Operabase aparece con sólo 3 representaciones en el período 2005-2010, siendo la primera y única de Mayr.

O bază Lewis (denumită după chimistul Gilbert N. Lewis) este, în teoria acido-bazică a lui Lewis, orice moleculă sau ion care este capabil să formeze o legătură covalentă coordinativă prin cedarea de perechi de electroni unui acid Lewis. Astfel, bazele Lewis sunt donori de electroni sau nucleofili.

Exemple
De exemplu, amoniacul (NH3) este o bază Lewis deoarece poate dona o pereche de electroni neparticipanți la legăturile moleculei.

Jorge Alberto Triaca (Buenos Aires, 30 de mayo de 1941 – íd., 22 de octubre de 2008) fue un sindicalista y político argentino, que ejerció como diputado nacional entre 1985 y 1989, y como ministro de trabajo entre 1989 y 1992. Fue también Secretario Adjunto de la Organización de Unión Obreros y Empleados Plásticos (U.O.Y.E.P.) y Secretario General de la CGT Azopardo.

Biografía

Carrera sindical

Hijo de un dirigente sindical de la industria plástica, se vinculó con apenas quince años de edad al dirigente Augusto Timoteo Vandor, tras el asesinato de éste se vinculó al dirigente de la CGT José Ignacio Rucci, a quien acompañó en algunos de sus viajes a España a entrevistarse con el exiliado expresidente Juan Domingo Perón. Allí conoció también a Ángel Federico Robledo.

Formó parte de la Comisión de Normalización del Movimiento Nacional Justicialista, teniendo notoria participación en la actuación gremial durante el último gobierno de Perón y el de su sucesora, María Estela Martínez de Perón. Tomó parte en la acción sindical orientada a enfrentar las medidas económicas de Celestino Rodrigo y sus sucesores, y contra la influencia de José López Rega.

Estuvo preso en la cárcel de Caseros y posteriormente en la cárcel de Devoto durante la dictadura, en 1976, junto a otros dirigentes como Antonio Cafiero y Carlos Menem, además de varios ministros de la presidenta depuesta. Recuperada su libertad fue varias veces delegado ante la Organización Internacional del Trabajo entre 1979 y 1987; durante su actuación apoyó inicialmente la llamada lucha contra la subversión.

A finales de la dictadura fue elegido secretario general del sindicato de trabajadores plásticos. En 1982, acompañado por algunos otros dirigentes —entre los cuales descollaron Armando Cavalieri, Oscar Lescano, Luis Barrionuevo y Juan José Zanola— enfrentó al grupo que confrontaba con el gobierno militar, liderado por Saúl Ubaldini, y formó en 1982 la CGT Azopardo.

Tras el fracaso del gobierno militar en la Guerra de Malvinas y la inminencia del regreso de la democracia, apoyó la precandidatura de Ángel Federico Robledo a la presidencia. Tras la disolución del proyecto, apoyó la candidatura presidencial de Ítalo Argentino Luder en 1983. Ese mismo año ocurren dos atentados contra su vida, consistentes ambos en gran número de disparos contra su domicilio.

Tras el regreso a la democracia, dirigió una larga negociación, por la cual la CGT Brasil, dirigida por Ubaldini, reincorporó a la CGT Azopardo, unificándose ambas centrales obreras poco después del enfrentamiento de ambas contra la llamada Ley Mucci del presidente Raúl Alfonsín, entendiendo que ésta se proponía atomizar y debilitar la acción sindical.

Durante la presidencia de Raúl Alfonsín acompañó la gestión sindical de Ubaldini, al tiempo que se incorporaba al exclusivo y elitista Jockey Club.

En 1985 declaró como testigo en el Juicio a las Juntas, negando tener conocimiento de la existencia de desaparecidos.

Carrera política
Fue elegido Diputado Nacional en el año 1985, en la lista del Frente Justicialista de Liberación que lideraba Herminio Iglesias.

A fines del primer gobierno del regreso a la democracia apoyó la precandidatura presidencial de Antonio Cafiero, proponiendo la candidatura a vicepresidente de José María Vernet; desechada ésta por Cafiero, Triaca decidió apoyar la candidatura de Carlos Menem, que triunfaría en las elecciones nacionales.

Al asumir la presidencia en mayo de 1989 Menem lo nombró ministro de trabajo. Presidió una etapa signada por la desvalorización de las condiciones laborales y del salario real. Aunque el empleo en el sector industrial cayó, durante su gestión la desocupación total – que había llegado a un pico histórico durante la crisis de 1989 – disminuyó levemente. Volvería a trepar, alcanzando niveles muy altos, durante el resto del gobierno de Menem.

En cuanto a la organización del movimiento obrero, favoreció una nueva ruptura de la CGT, apoyando a los dirigentes de los gremios con más afiliados, que prefirieron secundar la política económica del gobierno de Menem, en contra de la CGT dirigida por Ubaldini, que denunciaba sus efectos nocivos sobre las condiciones de trabajo, el ingreso salarial y la estabilidad laboral. Tras lograr que algunas huelgas generales organizadas por Ubaldini fracasaran, logró el reemplazo del mismo al frente de la CGT.

Fue el primer sindicalista argentino en presidir la asamblea anual de la OIT, en junio de 1990, año en que se presentaron en la misma los históricos dirigentes Lech Walesa y Nelson Mandela.

En mayo de 1991 asumió —sin dejar su puesto en el Ministerio de Trabajo— como interventor de SOMISA, la empresa siderúrgica estatal, que estaba en proceso de privatización, ofreciendo retiros voluntarios a los trabajadores. Finalmente SOMISA se vendió a un 10% de su valor. Dejó el cargo en diciembre del mismo año. Entre Triaca y su sucesora en la intervención, María Julia Alsogaray, cumplieron con el traspaso a manos privadas de la acería por 152 millones de dólares —cuando estaba valuada en alrededor de 3 mil millones— con una planta de 4 000 trabajadores, de los 12 000 que había antes de iniciado el proceso privatizador.

Renunció al ministerio en 1992, tras el fracaso de su proyecto de Ley de Empleo. Entre sus colaboradores, Rodolfo Díaz y Enrique Rodríguez serían también ministros de Trabajo de la Nación.

En 1996 fue nombrado coordinador del Grupo de Acción Política (GAP), dependiente del Ministerio del Interior.

Últimos años
Retirado de toda acción política y sindical, en 1999 debió reconocer la paternidad de una niña que había tenido con una ex vocera de prensa durante su mandato en el ministerio de trabajo. Durante años padeció una enfermedad cardíaca, que causó su fallecimiento el 22 de octubre de 2008.

Fue padre de seis hijos, entre ellos el economista y político Alberto Jorge Triaca (hijo), que diputado nacional por el PRO elegido en 2009 y luego ministro de Trabajo de la Nación entre 2015 y 2018 y más tarde secretario de Trabajo de la Nación.

Jules Clément Naudet et Thomas Gédéon Naudet sont des cinéastes franco-américains. Les frères, résidents des États-Unis depuis 1989 et citoyens depuis 1999, étaient à New York au moment des attentats du 11 septembre pour filmer un documentaire sur les membres de la caserne de pompiers Engine 7, Ladder 1 dans le Lower Manhattan. Jules a capturé la seule séquence claire du premier jet, le vol 11 d'American Airlines, frappant la tour nord du World Trade Center. Les images tournées en 2001 ont été utilisé pour le documentaire intitulé 9/11. La caméra vidéo que Jules utilisait pour capturer le vol 11 s'écraser sur le World Trade Center est maintenant exposée au National Museum of American History à Washington, DC.

Biographie

Jules et Gédéon Naudet ont déménagé à New York avec leurs parents Jean-Jacques et Shiva, alors qu'ils étaient adolescents. Tous deux sont diplômés de la Tisch School of the Arts de l' Université de New York en 1995. Pendant leurs premières années à l'université de New York, ils ont tous deux utilisé la même carte d'identité et n'ont payé qu'un seul droit de scolarité. Les frères Naudet sont devenus citoyens américains en 1999.

Carrière
Gédéon et Jules sortent leur premier film, Hope, Gloves and Redemption, en 2000, centré sur de jeunes boxeurs en formation dans le Bronx et East Harlem. Le film comprenait une couverture du tournoi 1998 du New York Daily News Golden Gloves .

Les frères Naudet étaient en train de réaliser un documentaire sur les pompiers de New York, qui suivait Antonio "Tony" Benetatos, un pompier débutant, à travers ses expériences dans l'académie du New York City Fire Department (FDNY).

Le matin du 11 septembre, Jules accompagne plusieurs pompiers alors qu'ils partent enquêter sur des informations faisant état d'une fuite de gaz dans le Lower Manhattan, laissant Gédéon dans la caserne des pompiers pour continuer à filmer avec Benetatos. En route vers Lower Manhattan, Jules et les pompiers s'étaient arrêtés au coin des rues Lispenard et Church Street lorsque le vol 11 d'American Airlines les a survolés. Jules a filmé son impact alors qu'il volait directement dans la tour nord du World Trade Center (WTC).

Jules est allé avec le FDNY dans la tour nord alors qu'ils répondaient à l'incident. Il est entré dans le hall de la tour nord avec le FDNY et a filmé les chefs des pompiers alors qu'ils installaient un poste de commandement et envoyaient des pompiers dans les escaliers. À l'intérieur, Jules a filmé les civils évacués et les réactions des pompiers aux événements ultérieurs, notamment le vol United Airlines 175 frappant la tour sud, les débris et les " sauteurs " tombant des étages supérieurs et les communications obstruées. Lorsque la tour sud a commencé à s'effondrer, il s'est réfugié avec le chef du bataillon 1 Joseph W. Pfeifer et les pompiers restants, utilisant le projecteur de sa caméra pour les aider à rassembler les blessés, les perdus et les décédés alors qu'ils évacuaient la tour nord. Il a suivi les pompiers alors qu'ils se dirigeaient vers le nord et a tenté d'établir un autre poste de commandement.

Pendant ce temps, Gédéon a filmé Benetatos (maintenant, le seul pompier restant dans la caserne) prenant les appels des autres services, mais a fini par descendre dans la rue par inquiétude pour Jules. Il a marché pendant un certain temps, filmant les réactions des gens et les dégâts causés par les débris volants, et a réussi à filmer l'impact du vol 175 dans la tour sud. Réalisant qu'il ne pouvait pas se rapprocher du World Trade Center, il retourna à la caserne des pompiers, où il filma l'arrivée de divers pompiers en repos. Il a attrapé l'arrivée du chef à la retraite du bataillon 1 Larry Byrnes, mais n'a pas pu le suivre lui et Benetatos alors qu'ils partaient pour le World Trade Center. Gédéon a repris le tournage des réactions des gens lors de l'effondrement de la tour sud avant de retourner à la caserne des pompiers et de rejoindre un trio de pompiers en congé alors qu'ils se dirigeaient vers la zone sinistrée. Incapable de suivre les pompiers jusqu'à la Tour Nord, il est resté sur place et a filmé les alentours.

Lorsque la tour nord s'est effondrée, les Naudet ont fui avec le reste des personnes encore dans la zone. Jules et Chief Pfeifer se sont abrités entre deux voitures avant de retourner au WTC pour évaluer la situation ; à moins d'un pâté de maisons, Gédéon a aidé un agent du FBI à transporter un civil qui avait été submergé par la poussière avant de se rendre à une épicerie pour récupérer. Inquiété pour Jules, il tenta de regagner les ruines du WTC, mais fut refoulé par des patrouilles de police. Il est ensuite retourné à la caserne des pompiers et a filmé les réactions des pompiers de retour aux attaques. Pendant ce temps, Jules est revenu avec le groupe du chef Pfeifer et a eu une réunion émouvante avec son frère.

Les séquences vidéo des Naudets sont devenues l'une des couvertures sur site les plus complètes des attentats du 11 septembre à New York. Leur film était l'une des deux seules sources de séquences vidéo du vol 11 frappant le World Trade Center, l'autre étant une vidéo tournée par Pavel Hlava (un travailleur immigré de la République tchèque). De plus, une série d'images de caméras Web de Wolfgang Staehle montre l'approche du vol 11 et l'après-impact.

2004-présent
En 2004, les Naudet ont produit Seamus, une histoire de "passage à l'âge adulte", avec un scénario des frères et de leur partenaire du 11 septembre, James Hanlon .

Geotermalna elektrana Velika 1 ili GTE Velika 1, snage 16,5 MW, je svečano otvorena 19. studenog 2019., u Cigleni kraj Bjelovara, kao prva geotermalna elektrana u Hrvatskoj. Geotermalna elektrana Velika 1 ujedno je i najveća elektrana u kontinentalnoj Europi s binarnom tehnologijom (organski Rankineov ciklus ili ORC). Ona je u punoj proizvodnji od ožujka 2019. i električnom energijom opskrbljuje gotovo cijeli Bjelovar. Gradnja je trajala dvije godine. Voditelj projekta Dragutin Domitrović je kazao kako Velika 1 ima ugovor o otkupu električne energije s HROTE-om sklopljen na 10 MW, što odgovara prosječnoj potrošnji energije oko 29 000 hrvatskih kućanstava.

Objašnjenje
Geotermalna energija ima brojne prednosti, drugačija je od ostalih izvora obnovljive energije jer može proizvoditi energiju tijekom 24 sata svih 365 dana u godina. Ako su dobro projektirane i pravilno održavane, geotermalne elektrane mogu dugi niz godina proizvoditi električnu energiju. Kako su geotermalne elektrane bazni proizvođači električne energije, ona se u mrežu isporučuje neovisno o vremenskim uvjetima i dobu dana. Od ožujka 2019., otkad je Velika 1 u punoj proizvodnji, isporučeno je više od 55 GWh električne energije.

Planira se nastavak ulaganja u Hrvatskoj, te je već pokrenut razvoj novog projekta - geotermalne elektrane kod Legrada, očekivane neto snage 19,9 MW.

Geotermalna voda se crpi s dubine od oko 2 800 metara i na površinu dolazi pri temperaturi od 166 ˚C. Ključni događaj uslijedio je sredinom 2015., nakon proizvodno-utisnih ispitivanja bušotina VC-1A i VC-1 koje je probušila INA u ranim 1970-tim godinama. INA je tada izradila tek hipotetske analize crpilišta u Cigleni, koje nikada nisu dokazane u praksi jer je INA tražila naftu, a ne vodu.

Zahvaljujući napretku tehnologije i izdašnosti geotermalnih izvora, snaga elektrana s prvotno predviđenih 4,71 gotovo se učetverostručila, na sadašnjih 16,5 MW bruto snage.

Postrojenje se sastoji od dvije cjeline: sustava za prikupljanje i utiskivanje geotermalne vode i ORC (eng. Organic Rankine Cycle) kruga. U sustavu za prikupljanje i utiskivanje geotermalne vode, geotermalni fluid se, s temperaturom 166° C i tlakom 40 bar (volumni protok 800 m3/h), na ušću,  iscrpljuje (iz dubine od oko 3 km) kroz dvije proizvodne bušotine (VC-1 i VC-1A). Zatim se u separatoru razdvajaju parna i plinska faza od tekuće faze (geotermalna voda). Svaka od tih faza zasebno predaju toplinsku energiju radnom mediju preko sustava izmjenjivača topline (isparivači i predgrijači). Nakon prolaska kroz izmjenjivače geotermalna voda se, pomoću utisnih pumpi, utiskuje u utisne bušotine Ptk-1 i VC-2.  Utisne bušotine za povrat ohlađene vode u ležište nalaze se na zračnoj udaljenosti od 1,3 km odnosno 2,3 km od elektrane. Parametri ohlađene vode u povratu su 70° C i 42 bar. U ORC krugu, radni medij – izobutan, zagrijava se i isparava u sustavu izmjenjivača topline (regenerator, predgrijači i isparivači). Zatim ekspandira i predaje energiju ORC turbini. U zrakom hlađenom kondenzatoru se hladi i ukapljuje. Napojnim pumpama izobutanu se diže tlak i spreman je za zagrijavanje u novom ciklusu.

Geotermalne elektrane s binarnim ciklusom

Geotermalne elektrane s binarnim ciklusom su, po termodinamičkom principu, najbliže termoelektranama na fosilna goriva ili nuklearnim elektranama, kod kojih radni fluid izvodi stvarni zatvoreni ciklus. Radni fluid, odabran prema povoljnim termodinamičkim svojstvima, prima toplinu od geotermalnog fluida, isparava, ekspandira u turbini, kondenzira, te se vraća u isparivač pomoću napojne pumpe.

Prva binarna geotermalna elektrana stavljena je u pogon nedaleko mjesta Petropavlovsk na ruskom otoku Kamčatka 1967. Imala je snagu 670 kW, te je opsluživala malo selo i nekoliko farmi kako s električnom energijom, tako i toplinom za potrebe staklenika.

Danas su binarna postrojenja najčešće korišteni tip geotermalnih elektrana s ukupnom instaliranom snagom 274 MW. Čine 33% od svih geotermalnih elektrana u radu, ali proizvode samo 3% od ukupne snage. Očigledno, prosječna snaga po jedinici je mala, samo 1,8 MW, iako dolaze u eksploataciju i jedinice sa snagama 7 - 10 MW s takozvanim naprednim ciklusom. Također je nekoliko postrojenja s binarnim ciklusom pridodano postojećim postrojenjima s isparavanjem kako bi se što više iskoristilo topline iz geotermalnog fluida.

Binarna postrojenja omogućavaju pretvorbu geotermalne topline u električnu energiju iz nisko temperaturnih ležišta tople vode (takozvanom vodom dominantnih ležišta) s temperaturom preko 85 °C. Također, ta je tehnologija pogodna i za eksploataciju srednje temperaturnih izvora s vlažnom parom s visokim omjerom voda/para kod temperatura koje su preniske za praktičnu primjenu sustava s isparavanjem. Binarna postrojenja pretvaraju toplinu srednje temperaturnih izvora u električnu energiju učinkovitije nego ostale tehnologije.

Kod binarnih postrojenja izmjenjivač topline prenosi toplinu s geotermalnog fluida dobavljenog iz proizvodne bušotine u primarni krug na lako hlapljivi radni fluid u sekundarnom krugu, kao što su halogeni ugljikovodici (na primjer freon, frigen), propan, izobutan, pentan, amonijak. Taj je termodinamički ciklus poznat kao organski Rankineov ciklus ili ORC. Radni fluid u sekundarnom krugu isparava u isparivaču pomoću geotermalne topline iz primarnog kruga. Vodena para ekspandira prolaskom kroz turbinu (u ovom se slučaju često naziva "organska turbina"), koja je spojena s električnim generatorom. Ispušna para se kondenzira u vodom ili zrakom hlađenom kondenzatoru, a kondenzat se napojnom pumpom vraća u isparivač. Ohlađena geotermalna voda može se ispustiti u okoliš ili vratiti natrag u ležište bez isparavanja, što minimalizira problem taloženja otopljenih minerala.

Tipične jedinične snage su 1 – 3 MW. Tehnologija binarnih postrojenja se pojavljuje kao najisplativiji, najefikasniji i najpouzdaniji način za pretvorbu velikog broja nisko temperaturnih izvora u električnu energiju, kojih je relativno dosta po svijetu.

Iskoristivost binarnih postrojenja poboljšana je uvođenjem Kalina tehnologije. Mješavina vode i amonijaka isparava unutar konačnog temperaturnog područja, proizvodeći dvokomponentnu paru (na primjer 70% amonijak i 30% voda), za razliku od ORC koji se temelji na čistim fluidima koji isparavaju kod određene temperature isparavanja. No danas postoji tek jedna geotermalna elektrana koja koristi Kalina ciklus, Husavik na Islandu i koja je raspoloživa za usporedbe; nekoliko ih je u fazi izgradnje. Nasuprot tome, ORC je ovladana tehnologija sa stotinama MW instaliranih različitih postrojenja diljem svijeta.

Limmat este un râu în Elveția. Râul începe la ieșirea din lacul Zurich, în partea de sud a orașului Zurich. Din Zurich curge în direcția nord-vest, după 35 km ajungând la râul Aare. Confluența este situată la nord de micul oraș Brugg și la mică distanță de Reuss.

Principalele orașe de-a lungul văii Limmatului în aval de Zurich sunt Dietikon, Wettingen și Baden. Principalii afluenți sunt Linth (via Lacul Zurich), Sihl (în Zurich) și Reppisch (în Dietikon).

Hidronimul este atestat pentru prima dată în secolul al VIII-lea, sub numele de Lindimacus. Este de origine galică, provenind din lindo- "lac" (în galeză: llyn) și magos- "câmpie" (în galeză: maes) numele original fiind probabil "câmpia lacului".

Generarea de energie electrică
La fel ca multe râuri elvețiene, Limmat este utilizat intens pentru producția de energie hidroelectrică: de-a lungul a 35 km căderea apei acestuia este utilizată de nu mai puțin de zece centrale hidroelectrice. Acestea includ:

Navigare
Istoric, Limmatul a fost o importantă cale de navigație. În secolele XII și XIII sunt înregistrate călătoriile de la Zurich la Koblenz AG. În 1447, împăratul Frederic al III-lea a acordat privilegiul navigării gratuite pe Limmat și pe Rin spre Zurich. Din cauza curentului, navigația era de obicei numai în aval, bărcile fiind vândute la sosire.

Astăzi, Limmat este navigabil pe mare parte din lungimea sa doar cu nave mici, multe dintre centralele hidroelectrice încorporând ecuze. Tipul tradițional de barcă folosit pe râu este un vas cu fund plat, cu o lungime tipică de circa 10 m.

Partea superioară a râului (prin centrul Zürich-ului) este navigabilă de către nave mai mari, deși limitată de podurile joase. Pe această porțiune a râului, Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft (Compania de navigație a lacului din Zurich) își desfășoară serviciul de transport pe Limmat, de la Landesmuseum până la Lacul Zürich, folosind bărci cu motoare de putere scăzută.

Trapeze is the debut studio album by British rock band Trapeze. Recorded in 1969 at Morgan Studios and Decca Studios, it was produced by the Moody Blues bassist John Lodge and released in May 1970 as the second album on Threshold Records, a record label founded by Lodge's band. Trapeze is the band's only album to feature founding member John Jones (vocals, trumpet); both he and Terry Rowley (organ, piano, flute) left shortly after its release. (Rowley rejoined in 1974.)

Contrary to the band's later material, which was primarily categorised as blues and hard rock, Trapeze has been described by commentators as a progressive or psychedelic rock album, owing partly to the presence of brass instruments and keyboards on the album. Songwriting was typically led by Jones, Galley and Hughes, with Rowley also co-writing two tracks. "Send Me No More Letters" was released as the only single from the album in 1969, backed with fellow album track "Another Day".

Background and release
Trapeze was formed in March 1969 by former The Montanas members John Jones (vocals, trumpet) and Terry Rowley (organ, guitar, piano, flute), along with former Finders Keepers members Mel Galley (guitar, vocals), Glenn Hughes (bass, piano, vocals) and Dave Holland (drums). The five-piece recorded their self-titled debut album later in the year at London's Morgan Studios and Decca Studios. The recordings were produced by John Lodge, whose band the Moody Blues had earlier signed Trapeze as the first act to their new record label Threshold Records. "Send Me No More Letters" was released as a single in 1969, and Trapeze was released in May 1970. The album was the band's only release to feature Jones and Rowley, both of whom left shortly after its release to return to The Montanas.

Composition and style
The material featured on Trapeze was primarily written by Galley, Hughes and Jones – Galley was credited on seven tracks, Hughes and Jones on five each, and Rowley on two. Despite being the band's primary vocalist, Jones was only credited with trumpet on the album, with Hughes being credited for all vocals on the release. The style of the album has been described by commentators as a mix between progressive rock, psychedelic rock and pop rock, with AllMusic's Bruce Eder claiming that "Those listeners who only know the subsequent albums by Trapeze may be surprised by this debut effort" due to their later hard rock style. The album was compared stylistically to the work of other British rock acts of the period, including Lodge's band the Moody Blues and Hughes's future group Deep Purple (particularly the first three albums). In the liner notes for a 2004 reissue of the album by Lemon Recordings, journalist Nigel Williamson described Trapeze as "a classic period example of English prog, mixing pastoral whimsy, swirling psychedelia, rock guitars and pop harmonies". Similarly, Eder identified that the album featured an array of "lush choruses, psychedelic interludes, and hook-laden romantic ballads", amounting to "high-energy music within the context of psychedelic pop/rock".

Critical reception

Media response to Trapeze was generally positive. Eder praised the performances of the "core trio" of Galley, Hughes and Holland, who he claimed "[found] a good compromise with Rowley and Jones' more lyrical, psychedelic pop sensibilities", but noted that "it's clear that three of these musicians are holding back to one degree or another in these surroundings". He also highlighted "Fairytale" and "Am I" as the album's standout songs, which he claimed "[pointed] the way to [the band's] future sound" following their reduction to the aforementioned trio. Billboard hailed Trapeze as "a candidate for big chart action", praising the performance in particular of Hughes, highlighting "Send Me No More Letters" and "Fairytale", and praising the band's "strong rock personality" on the record.

29 Mart 1954 tarihinde Bulgaristan'nın Dobriç ilçesine bağlı Bakalovo köyünde doğdu. İlk ve orta okul öğrenimini yüksek notlarla bitirdi. Lise hayatı da aynı başarıyla devam etti. Sofya Üniversitesi'nin Felsefe Bölümü'nü kazanarak çok iyi bir dereceyle bitirdi. Marksist Felsefe ve Diyalektik Materyalizm Teorisi alanında büyük özveriyle çalıştı ve mastır yaptı.

Marksizmin temel ilkelerine ters düştüğünü açıklayan ve rejime karşı tavır alan felsefecilerden biri olması sebebiyle 1984-1985 yıllarında komünist rejimin ağır soykırımını fiilen yaşayanlardan oldu.

1985 yılında Todor Jivkov rejimini protesto amacıyla Doğan ve arkadaşları(Bulgaristan Türk Kurtuluş Birliği Teşkilatı)adını verdikleri gizli teşkilat kurdular. Yalnız çok geçmeden tutuklanarak cezaevine kondular. Bulgaristan'da Mayıs 1989 Olaylarının teşkilatcısı olarak da yargılandı. 12.12.1989 tarihinde cezaevinden çıktı.

1990 yılında Hak ve Özgürlükler Hareketi'ni (HÖH) 8.Cumhurbaşkanı Turgut Özal'ında desteğiyle kurdu ve Genel Başkan oldu. Bulgaristan'daki Türklerin dil, din, sosyal, kültürel ve ekonomik haklarını savunan ilk parti kuruldu.Ayrıca Bulgaristan'daki ilk Türk siyasetçi olma vasfını da kazanmış oldu.

Suikast girişimi
19 Ocak 2013 tarihinde Ahmed Doğan kürsüde konuşma yaptığı sırada silahlı bir kişinin saldırısına uğradı. Saldırgan, boş fişekleri olan bir gaz tabancası kullandı ancak ateş edemedi, tabancası tutukluk yapınca eyleminde başarısız olan saldırganın 25 yaşındaki Türk asıllı Oktay Hasanov Yenimehmedov olduğu ve uyuşturucu, hırsızlık suçlarından sabıkasının bulunduğu belirlendi. Birçok uzmana göre, silah ateş etse bile yalnızca ölümcül olmayan yaralanmalara neden olacaktı. Bu noktada Doğan, saldırganın koluna vurdu, ve yere düşmeden önce birkaç saniye onunla boğuştu. Saldırgan daha sonra güvenlik görevlileri ve delegeler tarafından tutuklanmadan önce birkaç dakika dövüldü ve tekmelendi. Bu bölümün tamamı videoya çekildi. Şubat 2014'te Enimehmedov üç yıl altı ay hapis cezasına çarptırıldı. Mart ayında Sofya Temyiz Mahkemesi, Türk asıllı siyasetçi Ahmet Doğan'a kurusıkı tabanca doğrultan Oktay Enimehmedov'un cezasını ev hapsine çevirdi.

Catedrala din Saint-Denis, cunoscută și ca Basilica Saint-Denis (în ), este o biserică gotică aflată în centrul orașului Saint-Denis, acum o suburbie din nordul Parisului. Clădirea este de importanță istorică și arhitecturală, deoarece capela sa, terminată în 1144, este considerată a fi prima biserică gotică.

Patronul lăcașului este Sfântul Dionisie (St. Denis), primul episcop al Parisului.

Din anul 1966 edificiul este catedrala Diecezei de Saint-Denis, episcopie sufragană a Arhidiecezei de Paris.

Legenda
Legenda aurea din secolul al XIII-lea a relatat martiriul Sfântului Dionisie, la care a adăugat elemente fantastice. Bătrânul episcop a fost martirizat, pus pe un pat sub care s-a făcut foc, apoi aruncat la animale, care nu s-au atins de el. În final, s-a hotărât să i se taie capul la Paris, în zona Montmartre ("Dealul Martirilor"). După ce i s-a tăiat capul, Dionisie s-ar fi ridicat, și-ar fi luat capul în mâini și ar mai fi mers două mile (aprox. 5 km) de la locul decapitării până în nordul Parisului, unde și-ar fi depus capul în mâinile unei femei. Minunea a produs convertiri, iar în acel loc a fost ridicată catedrala care îl are ca sfânt patron. În această catedrală au fost înmormântați mulți regi ai Franței.

Afrika palmiye misk kedisi (Nandinia binotata), etçiller (Carnivora) takımından, monotipik Nandiniidae familyasını oluşturan, Orta Afrika'nin ormanlarında yaşayan bir hayvan türü.

Özellikler
Fazla dikkati çekmeyen bir hayvandır. Rengi koyu kahverengidir, üzerinde düzensiz bir şekilde siyah benekleri ve çizgileri vardır. Bir ağacın gövdesi önünde durduğunda arka plana çok iyi uyum sağlar ve neredeyse hiç görünmez. Uzunluğu 44–58 cm (46–62 cm kuyruk) ve ağırlığı 1,7-2,1 kg'a varır.

Yayılımı
Afrika palmiye misk kedisi, Afrika'nın yağmur ormanlarında, ağaçlara bağımlı bir yaşam sürdürür. Yayıldığı coğrafya Gine ve Sudan'dan, Angola ve Zimbabve'ye kadar uzanır.

Yaşam şekli
Geceleri aktif olan, üreme zamanının dışında yalnız yaşayan hayvanlardır. Besinlerini geceleri ağaçlarda; nadir olarak da yerde ararlar.

Afrika palmiye misk kedisi her şey yiyicilerdir. En fazla meyve ile beslenirler. Bunun yanında kemiriciler, Böcekler, leş ve diğer hayvansal besinler de ararlar. Yiyeceklerini, el gibi kullanabildikleri ön ayakları ile tutarlar.

Dişi senede iki defa, 64 gün süren bir gebelikten sonra 2-4 yavru dünyaya getirir.

İnsanlar ile arası
Afrika palmiye misk kedilerinin sayıları çok fazla olduğu tahmin edilir. İnsanlardan korkmayıp, kümeslere girer ve tavuk çalarlar. Ama sırf geceleri aktif olduğu için avlanılması çok zordur.

Sınıflandırma
Afrika palmiye misk kedisi eskiden misk kedisigiller familyasına konulurdu. Genetik araştırmalardan sonra bunlarla yakın bir akrabalıkları olmadığı ortaya çıkarılmış ve ayrı bir familyaya konulmuşlardır. Hatta ayrı bir takson olarak, bütün kedimsiler alt takımına kardeş bir kol oluşturduklarına inananlar vardır.

Half-Life: Opposing Force is an expansion pack for the first-person shooter game Half-Life. It was developed by Gearbox Software and published by Sierra On-Line for Windows on November 19, 1999. Opposing Force was the first expansion for Half-Life and was announced in April 1999. Lead designer Randy Pitchford noted that he believed Gearbox was selected to develop Opposing Force because Valve, the creators of Half-Life, wanted to concentrate on their future projects. Over the course of development, Gearbox brought in a variety of talent from other areas of the video games industry to help bolster various aspects of design.

Opposing Force portrays the events of Half-Life from the perspective of a U.S. Marine, one of the enemy characters in the original. The player character, Adrian Shephard, is sent in to neutralize the Black Mesa Research Facility when a scientific mishap causes it to be invaded by aliens, but quickly finds that the Marines are outnumbered and slowly being beaten back by a second alien race and black operations units.

Opposing Force was received well by critics, with many describing it as the new benchmark title for expansion packs, in a similar fashion to how Half-Life revolutionized the first-person shooter genre. Other reviewers, however, thought that it still had many of the negative aspects of other expansion packs, although it was still regarded as an exceptional add-on.

Gameplay

As an expansion pack for Half-Life, Opposing Force is a first-person shooter. The overall gameplay of Opposing Force does not significantly differ from that of Half-Life. Players navigate through levels, fight hostile non-player characters and solve a variety of puzzles to advance. The game continues Half-Lifes methods of an unbroken narrative. The player sees everything through the first person perspective of the protagonist and remains in control of the player character for almost all of the game. Story events are conveyed through the use of scripted sequences rather than cut scenes. Progress through the world is continuous; although the game is divided up into chapters, the only significant pauses are when the game needs to load the next part of an environment. Opposing Force also features an extended multiplayer, incorporating the various new environments and weapons into the original deathmatch mode used in Half-Life. After release, a new capture the flag mode with additional levels, items and powerups, was created by Gearbox.

For the most part the player battles through the single-player game alone, but is occasionally assisted by friendly non-player characters. Security guards and scientists will occasionally help the player in reaching new areas and convey relevant plot information. However, Opposing Force also features fellow U.S. Marines who will assist the player in combat to a far greater degree than security guards. Three types of Marines are featured in the game: the soldier will simply provide fire support for the player with a submachine gun, shotgun or machine gun, the combat medic is capable of healing the player and other non-player characters, while the engineer can cut through doors and remove obstacles, allowing the player and their squad to proceed unhindered. A selection of enemies from Half-Life populate the game, including alien creatures such as headcrabs and Vortigaunts.

A variety of new alien non-player characters, labelled "Race X", appear as well, often engaging in combat with the aliens from Xen. The player also encounters human opponents in the form of a detachment of black operations units who have been sent to destroy the base in the wake of the failure of the U.S. Marines to eliminate the alien threat. A limited selection of Half-Lifes weaponry is allocated to the player to defend themselves with, although several new weapons such as a sniper rifle, combat knife and a variety of alien weaponry are also present.

Synopsis

Setting
Opposing Force is set in the same location and timeframe as that of Half-Life, taking place at a remote New Mexico laboratory called the Black Mesa Research Facility. In Half-Life, the player takes on the role of Gordon Freeman, a scientist involved in an accident that opens an inter-dimensional portal to the borderworld of Xen, allowing the alien creatures of Xen to attack the facility. The player guides Freeman in an attempt to escape the facility and close the portal, ultimately traveling to Xen to do so. Opposing Force, however, shows the events of Half-Life from the perspective of a different protagonist. The player assumes the role of Adrian Shephard, a U.S. Marine Corps Corporal assigned to the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit, a specialized unit sent in to Black Mesa by the government to quell the alien threat and silence all witnesses. However, after Shephard becomes isolated from his fellow Marines, he must ally with the Black Mesa personnel and attempt to escape the base.

Plot
Opposing Force opens with Shephard riding on a V-22 Osprey with his squad. His squad discuss their deployment, somewhat irritated that they have not been told what they are being deployed for. However, as they are nearing their Landing Zone at Black Mesa, airborne alien creatures attack the Osprey formation, causing Shephard's Osprey to crash land. Shephard regains consciousness in a Black Mesa medical bay, tended to by the science team, learning that the Marines are being steadily beaten by the alien forces from Xen and orders have come through to pull out. Consequently, Shephard departs to reach an extraction point and escape the facility. However, Shephard is prevented from reaching the extraction point by the enigmatic G-Man, forcing the evacuation craft to leave without him.

Other Marines who have also been left behind team up with Shephard and attempt to reach another extraction point near Black Mesa's Lambda Complex, but en route they come under attack from black operations units seeking to thoroughly contain the situation and eliminate all survivors. Shephard makes it to the Lambda Complex alive, and briefly sees Gordon Freeman as the latter teleports to Xen in the final stages of Half-Life. To escape the teleportation chamber, Shephard is forced to enter a separate portal, briefly taking him to Xen before depositing him in an entirely different area of the facility. The facility is now heavily damaged, and it soon becomes clear that a new alien race, Race X, has exploited the situation to mount a localized invasion, attacking both human and Xen forces in Black Mesa indiscriminately. Fighting between the black operations units and Race X quickly intensifies.

Shephard soon encounters more stranded Marine units in the wreckage of Black Mesa, and attempts to reach an unknown exit route, encountering heavy resistance from Race X and black operations units. A surviving Black Mesa security guard reveals to Shephard that the black operators intend to detonate a tactical nuclear weapon in the base, thereby totally sealing it off and killing everything in it. After successfully neutralizing the guarding black operations unit, Shephard disarms the device and proceeds to a nearby storage facility, intent on escape. However, the G-Man rearms the device as Shephard departs. The storage facility has become a thick battleground between Race X and the black operation units, and although Shephard manages to evade them, he is informed by another security guard that something very large is coming through an alien portal blocking the exit path.

At the portal, Shephard discovers a gene worm, a massive creature facilitating the Race X invasion. Shephard is able to sufficiently wound the creature enough to force it back through the wormhole, but just afterwards he is teleported onto an Osprey by the G-Man. As the G-Man congratulates Shephard on his accomplishments, the nuclear device detonates in the background, destroying Black Mesa. The game closes with the G-Man detaining Shephard someplace where he can tell no one of what he has seen and cannot be harmed, pending further evaluation.

Development
Half-Life: Opposing Force was announced by developer Gearbox Software on April 15, 1999. In their press release, founder Randy Pitchford stated that "our number one goal is to preserve the integrity of Half-Life and provide new experiences that expand upon the sensation of the original". The name Opposing Force has a double meaning, referring both to the fact that the player is one of the enemies in the original game, as well as to Newton's third law of motion. In a later interview, Pitchford stated that he believed that Valve offered Gearbox the chance to make a Half-Life expansion was from a wish "to focus on their future titles". In addition, Pitchford commented that Valve and Gearbox had agreed not to "severely modify" the game engine used by Half-Life and Opposing Force as it "risks breaking all of the wonderful work" that the game's custom content community was creating. Substantial information on Opposing Forces development direction, as well as new locations, characters and story were revealed at the 1999 Electronic Entertainment Expo convention. The official website for Opposing Force, hosted by publisher Sierra Studios, was put online in July 1999. Opposing Force was developed in 8 months by a team of more than 15 people.

Over the course of development, Gearbox acquired various outside talent to assist in designing some aspects. In June 1999, Gearbox announced that level designer Richard Gray would be assisting in developing the multiplayer aspects. Several other designers subsequently joined the project in September 1999, with collective experience from the development of Daikatana, Quake II, Doom and Shadow Warrior. In the subsequent two months, media releases displaying a variety of screenshots were unveiled. The game was released on November 19, 1999. Gearbox later released a multiplayer update in May 2000, adding a capture the flag mode, along with various items to accompany the new mode. Opposing Force was later released on Valve's Steam content delivery system. Opposing Force was published as part of Sierra's Half-Life: Generation compilation in 2002,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/half-life-generation/release-info|title=Half-Life: Generation|publisher=MobyGames|access-date=April 1, 2016}}</ref> and as part of Valve and Electronic Arts' Half Life 1: Anthology on September 26, 2005.

ReceptionOpposing Force received mainly positive reviews, holding a score of 85.45% on the review aggregator site GameRankings. In the United States, the game sold 108,008 copies by the end of 1999. Although figures for sales on Steam have not been released, Opposing Force eventually sold over 1.1 million copies at retail.Computer and Video Games reviewer Kim Randell noted that "Gearbox has obviously gone to great pains to provide a similar experience to the original". Praise was also given to the multiplayer; Randell stated that the new additions for multiplayer made it the area of Opposing Force that "really shines". Randell closed the review by concluding that Opposing Force is "an awesome achievement". Erik Wolpaw, writing for GameSpot, noted that as most expansion packs were mediocre, "it's appropriate that Gearbox Software's Opposing Force, the official expansion for the genre-redefining Half-Life, in turn sets a new standard of quality for future action-game mission packs". Wolpaw praised the design of the single-player campaign, commenting that "you can sense the designers' enthusiasm as one memorable scene unfolds after another, and it compels you to keep playing". Although criticizing some elements of the artificial intelligence and describing some of the new models as "merely window dressing", the review concluded that Opposing Force was an "impassioned application of creative design".GamePro stated that "Gearbox has done one hell of a job in creating not just an add-on for Half-Life, but a continuation of a masterpiece", praising both level design and story elements, but noted that it was a little too short. However, some critics dissented on the idea that Opposing Force was as influential as other reviewers made out.PC Zone stated that "the taste left in the mouth is a bitter one", noting that "Opposing Force is a few excellent ideas strung together by pedestrian Half-Life padding", but concluded that "it was still a good weekend's worth of entertainment". Eurogamer stated that Opposing Force still had similar problems to other expansion packs, commenting that "X amount of new content has been created and it is going to be cut into the old content in a linear way to make it look like an all new game", but noted that "fortunately though the new stuff in Opposing Force... is pretty damn good". Although praising the level design as the game's strongest point, the reviewer felt that "towards the end of the game... they were running out of development time". Reviewing for IGN, Vincent Lopez stated that the game "does a fantastic job of making you remember exactly why you enjoyed the original so much", but criticized this as the biggest drawback, commenting that "you may find yourself wishing for a more original experience", but concluded that "for good, and bad: it's good to be back".

The game won several publication awards, as well as "Computer Action Game of the Year" from the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences during the 3rd Annual Interactive Achievement Awards. The editors of PC Gamer US presented Opposing Force with their 1999 "Best Expansion Pack" award, and nominated it as 1999's overall best game of the year, although it lost the latter prize to Homeworld. They wrote that Opposing Force'' "makes history by becoming the first expansion pack to be considered for Game of the Year. Yes, it really is that good."

La Plata yunusu (Pontoporia blainvillei) Güney Amerika'nın güneydoğusunda Atlas Okyanusu kıyılarında bulunan bir yunus türüdür. Taksonomik olarak nehir yunusları grubunun bir üyesi olan La Plata yunusu, tatlısuda yaşayan diğer üç nehir yunusu türünün aksine okyanusta ve tuzlusu haliçlerinde yaşar.

Taksonomi
La Plata yunusu cinsindeki tek türdür. İlk olarak 1844'te Paul Gervais ve Alcide d'Orbigny tarafından tanımlanmıştır. Türün ismi olan blainvillei Fransız zoolog Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville'in anısına verilmiştir. La Plata yunusu, Arjantin ve Uruguay'da kullanılan Franciscana adıyla da bilinir. Brezilya'da Toninha ve Cachimbo diye de adlandırılmaktadır.

Fiziksel tanımlama
La Plata yunusu, deniz memelileri arasında gövdesine oranla en uzun ağza sahiptir, erişkin erkeklerde bu oran %15'e kadar ulaşır. Erkekler 1,6 metreye, dişiler ise 1,8 metreye kadar büyür. Gövde rengi grimsi kahverengidir ve vücudun alt kısmı daha açık renklidir. Gövde boyutlarına göre yan yüzgeçlerde hem geniş hem de büyüktür. Gövdeye bağlandığı yerde daralan yan yüzgeçler hemen hemen üçgen şeklindedir. Yan yüzgeçlerin arka kenarları testere gibi dişlidir. Yarımay şeklindeki havadeliği  boyundaki sanki yunus kafasını yukarıya doğru kaldırıyormuş izlenimi veren bir deri kırışıklığının hemen önünde yer alır. Sırt yüzgecinin gövdeye bağlandığı kısım uzundur ve yüzgecin ucu yuvarlaktır.

Ağırlığı 50 kg.'a ulaşan La Plata yunusu 20 yıl kadar yaşar. Hamillelik süresi 10-11 aydır ve yavrular birkaç yıl içinde erişkin hâle gelir. Dişiler beş yaşına geldikten sonra doğurabilir.

Yunus göze çarpmayacak şekilde yavaş ve akıcı bir şekilde hareket eder ve haliçteki koşullar oldukça sakin olmadığı sürece görülmeleri çok zordur. Genel olarak tek başına ya da küçük gruplar hâlinde yüzerler. İstisna olarak 15 yunustan oluşan gruplar görülmüştür. La Plata yunusu deniz tabanından beslenir. Yunusların bağırsaklarının incelenmesi sonucunda en az 24 farklı tür balık yedikleri görülmüştür. Ayrıca ahtapot, mürekkep balığı ve karides de avlayan La Plata yunusları orkalar ve çeşitli köpekbalığı türleri tarafından avlanır.

Doğal yaşam alanı

La Plata yunusu Güney Amerika'nın güneydoğusunda Atlas Okyanusu kıyısında ve Rio de la Plata'nın halicinde bulunur. Kuzeyde Brezilya Ubatuba yakınlarındaki Oğlak Dönencesi'nden güneyde Arjantin Valdés Yarımadası'na kadar bir alanda yaşar. Nehir yunusları ailesi içinde tatlısuda değil de denizde ve tuzlusu haliçlerinde yaşayan tek türdür. Her ne kadar bazı yunuslar yaşamlarını nehir sistemleri dışında geçirse de birçok bireyin yaşamlarını nehir sistemleri içinde geçirdiği ve hiçbir zaman denize açılmadıkları bilinmektedir.

Koruma
La Plata yunusu IUCN Kırmızı Liste'sinde "eksik veri" kategorisinde listelenmiştir. Ancak bu kategori, koruma yanlıları tarafından her yıl ağlara takılarak oluşan kazalar nedeniyle yunus ölümlerinin yunus türü popülasyonun düzenli bir sayıda kalmasını engelleyeceği konusundaki endişelerini maskelemektedir. Bu yunus türü aynı zamanda kıyılarda yapılan trol avcılığı nedeniyle de tehdit altındadır. 1970'lerde tutulan kayıtlara göre ölümler daha çok Uruguay sahilinde yaygınken son zamanlardaki araştırmalar artık Brezilya'nın güney sahilleri ile ve Arjantin sahillerinde bulunan ağların daha tehlikeli olduğunu göstermektedir. Her üç ülkeden de biliminsanları bu konudaki endişelerini dile getirmiş ve bu yunusların kötü durumlarının vurgulanması için uluslararası yardım isteğinde bulunmuşlardır. La Plata yunusu popülasyonu ve yıllık popülasyon değişimi bilinmemektedir.

La Plata yunusu


The 1852 United Kingdom general election was a watershed in the formation of the modern political parties of Britain. Following 1852, the Tory/Conservative party became, more completely, the party of the rural aristocracy, while the Whig/Liberal party became the party of the rising urban bourgeoisie in Britain. The results of the election were extremely close in terms of the numbers of seats won by the two main parties.

As in the previous election of 1847, Lord John Russell's Whigs won the popular vote, but the Conservative Party won a very slight majority of the seats. However, a split between Protectionist Tories, led by the Earl of Derby, and the Peelites who supported Lord Aberdeen  made the formation of a majority government very difficult. Lord Derby's minority, protectionist government ruled from 23 February until 17 December 1852. Derby appointed Benjamin Disraeli as Chancellor of the Exchequer in this minority government. However, in December 1852, Derby's government collapsed because of issues arising out of the budget introduced by Disraeli. A Peelite–Whig-Radical coalition government was then formed under Lord Aberdeen. Although the immediate issue involved in this vote of "no confidence" which caused the downfall of the Derby minority government was the budget, the real underlying issue was the repeal of the Corn Laws which Parliament had passed in June 1846 and had split the Conservative Party. In this election, there were 18 Peelites elected in England and Wales. The constituency of St Albans (UK Parliament constituency), with its two members, was disfranchised due to corruption. This accounts for the fact that there were two fewer seats in the House of Commons as compared to the previous election, though no redistribution took place.

Corn Laws

A group within the Tory/Conservative Party called the "Peelites" voted with the Whigs to achieve the repeal of the Corn Laws. The Peelites were so named because they were followers of Prime Minister Robert Peel. In June 1846, when Peel was the Prime Minister of a Tory government, he led a group of Tory/Conservatives to vote with the minority Whigs against a majority of his own party.

"Corn" was important to the cost of living of the average person in Britain during the early 19th century. The term "corn" did not refer to maize, as it did in the United States. In Britain, "corn" refers to wheat, rye and/or other grains. Wheat, or corn, was used in the baking of bread and was the "staff of life". Thus the price of wheat was a very substantial part of the cost of living. The Corn Laws enforced a very high "protective" tariff against the importation of wheat into England. These high tariffs raised the cost of living and increased the suffering of poor people in England. Agitation for the repeal of the Corn Laws had begun in England as early as 1837, and bills for their repeal had been introduced in Parliament each year from 1837 until their actual repeal in 1847.

Split in the Tory party
For some parliamentary leaders, like John Bright, Richard Cobden and Charles Pelham Villiers, the repeal of tariffs on imported corn was not enough. They wished to reduce the tariffs on all imported consumer products. These parliamentary leaders became known as "free traders". The repeal of the Corn Laws irrevocably split the Tory/Conservative party. The Peelites were not free traders, but both the Peelites and the free traders were originally Tories. Thus both the free traders and the Peelites tended to side with the Whigs against the Tories on international trade issues. This presented a real threat to any government the Tories attempted to form. The effect of this split was felt in the election of July–August 1847, when the Whig party won a 53.8% majority of seats in Parliament. The Whigs knew that they could count on the Peelite Conservatives when an international trade issue came before Parliament. In June 1852, the effects of the split in the Tory/Conservative party was having even more effect. The period after about 1847 was one of economic stagnation in Britain.

Political parties
The split in the Tory party was a significant cause of the reformation of the political parties in Britain in the February 1852 election.

As noted above, in the election of 1852 the protectionist rump of the Conservatives became the party of the rural landholders, while the Liberals and Peelites became the party of the towns, boroughs and growing urban industrial areas of Britain.

In 1852, England elected 244 Conservatives and 216 non-Conservatives; Wales elected 20 Conservatives and 12 non-Conservatives, Scotland elected 20 Conservatives and 33 non-Conservatives, Ireland elected 40 Conservatives and 63 non-Conservatives whereas the Universities elected 6 Conservatives.

Fall of the government in December 1852
The election of 1852 returned a majority in support of free-trade, but the minority Conservative government continued in office. An opportunity for the opposition arose in December 1852, when the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Benjamin Disraeli, introduced the budget of the Derby minority government. Due to the worsening economic situation, the budget imposed a number of tax increases on the profits of the middle class and granted some tax cuts for the rural landed aristocracy. The budget also extended the income tax to the Irish middle class, angering some of the members from Ireland who had supported the minority government on the Irish Church issue and were opposed to the previous Prime Minister, the Liberal leader Russell. Consequently, a number of Irish Conservatives voted against the minority government on the Disraeli budget on 17 December 1852. This vote of "no confidence" caused the government to fall.

Following the fall of the minority government, Lord Aberdeen was called on to form a government, since the Irish Conservatives who opposed Disraeli's budget were opposed to Lord John Russell on religious issues and he formed a Peelite/Whig coalition government on 19 December 1852. This government served until 30 January 1855, when it too collapsed due to issues surrounding British involvement in the Crimean War.

While the Conservatives had, in theory, a slim majority over the Whigs, the party was divided between Protectionist and Peelite wings: the former numbered about 290 and the latter 35–40. The Whigs themselves represented a coalition of old Whigs (conservative Protestant/dissenter aristocrats), Liberals, Radicals, and Irish nationalists. The above numbers therefore do not represent the true balance of support in Parliament.

UPS Airlines Voo 6 foi um voo de carga operado pela UPS Airlines. Em 3 de setembro de 2010, o Boeing 747-400F que fazia a rota entre Dubai, Emirados Árabes Unidos, e Colônia, na Alemanha, desenvolveu um incêndio em voo, que causou a queda da aeronave, matando os dois tripulantes, as únicas pessoas a bordo. Foi o primeiro acidente aéreo fatal da UPS Airlines. O acidente levou a uma reavaliação dos procedimentos de segurança que protegem os aviões da fumaça da cabine de comando.

Voo
O vôo 6 partiu do Aeroporto Internacional de Dubai às 14:53 UTC de 3 de setembro de 2010, com destino ao Aeroporto de Colônia-Bonn. Nos controles estavam o capitão Douglas Lampe, 48, de Louisville, Kentucky, e o primeiro oficial Matthew Bell, 38, de Sanford, Flórida.

Às 15h15, a mensagem EICAS FIRE MAIN DK FWD apareceu no display superior do EICAS, e a tripulação relatou o incêndio na cabine quando a aeronave estava em torno de  milhas náuticas) a oeste-noroeste de Dubai. Uma emergência foi declarada pouco depois. Os pilotos estavam sob o controle do controle de tráfego aéreo (ATC) do Bahrain e não puderam entrar em contato inicialmente com o ATC de Dubai devido à fumaça espessa na cabine de comando obscurecendo o painel de rádio. Embora lhes fosse oferecido um desvio de  para Doha, Qatar, o capitão Lampe tomou a decisão de retornar a Dubai. A fumaça espessa exigia que os pilotos se comunicassem com aviões próximos por VHF para retransmitir mensagens para o ATC do Bahrein, pois Bell não conseguia ver o rádio através da fumaça. A aeronave envolvida na transmissão de mensagens do UPS 6 incluía três Boeing 737-800 operados pela flydubai, e o próprio 747-400 da Ala Aérea Real de Dubai, chamado Dubai One.

Lampe optou por desligar o piloto automático e pilotar o avião manualmente. Ao fazer isso, ele descobriu que não tinha controle do elevador. O fogo queimou o revestimento protetor resistente ao fogo que cobria o porão de carga e destruiu o sistema primário de controle de voo, paralisando o 747. Às 15h20, a máscara de oxigênio de Lampe falhou e ele renunciou ao comando do avião para o primeiro oficial Bell. Lampe deixou seu assento para pegar a máscara de oxigênio do sistema de oxigênio de reserva de emergência (EROS), que estava guardada atrás de seu assento, mas foi incapacitado pela fumaça acre e perdeu a consciência, caindo no chão da cabine. Acredita-se que o incêndio também tenha cortado o suprimento de oxigênio para a máscara EROS, deixando Lampe sem oxigênio para retornar ao assento do piloto e pilotar o avião. Bell foi instruído a pousar na pista 12L do aeroporto.

A aeronave estava muito alta na aproximação e o trem não se estendeu. A aeronave passou sobre o aeroporto antes de fazer uma curva fechada. Bell tentou virar para o Aeroporto Internacional de Sharjah, mas sem saber virou na direção errada. O contato do radar foi perdido pouco depois às 15:42 UTC. A aeronave finalmente atingiu o solo em um ângulo raso e em alta velocidade em uma área despovoada entre a Emirates Road e a Al Ain Highway, quase perdendo o Dubai Silicon Oasis. A asa direita atingiu o solo primeiro e o 747 em chamas derrapou alguns metros e explodiu em uma bola de fogo, matando Bell instantaneamente. Além do ATC, muitos relatórios iniciais vieram de pilotos que trabalhavam para a Emirates, que moravam na comunidade.

Aeronave
A aeronave envolvida no acidente foi um Boeing 747-400F com registro N571UP, entregue à UPS Airlines em 2007. Ele voou por mais de 10.000 horas, e teve uma grande inspeção realizada em junho de 2010. A aeronave foi alimentada por quatro motores turbofan General Electric CF6-80C2B5FG01 Antes do acidente, estava entre os mais novos (nº 1.393 de 1.418; o 26º do último) Boeing 747-400s construídos antes da introdução do sucessor 747-8.

Consequências
Em outubro de 2010, a Administração Federal de Aviação dos EUA (FAA) emitiu um alerta de segurança para os operadores destacando o fato de que a carga a bordo do voo 6 continha uma grande quantidade de baterias do tipo lítio. A FAA emitiu uma restrição ao transporte de baterias de lítio a granel em voos de passageiros. A Boeing anunciou que as listas de verificação de incêndio do 747-400F deveriam ser modificadas para instruir os pilotos que pelo menos um dos três sistemas de ar condicionado deve ser deixado em operação para evitar o acúmulo excessivo de fumaça na cabine de comando.

O acidente reacendeu as preocupações sobre os efeitos da fumaça na cabine de pilotagem, levantando a questão de saber se os capuzes de fumaça ou unidades de visão infláveis devem ser introduzidas na aviação comercial. Na época do acidente, o Conselho Nacional de Segurança em Transportes dos EUA (NTSB) havia solicitado à FAA que ordenasse a instalação de sistemas automáticos de extintores de incêndio nos porões de aeronaves de carga. A UPS Airlines seguiu os regulamentos da FAA, que afirmavam que os pilotos deveriam despressurizar a cabine principal e subir a uma altitude de pelo menos  na detecção de um incêndio de modo a privar as chamas de oxigênio.

Investigação
A Autoridade Geral de Aviação Civil dos Emirados Árabes Unidos (GCAA) abriu uma investigação sobre o acidente, auxiliada pelo NTSB. O governo do Bahrein decidiu conduzir sua própria investigação sobre o acidente. O gravador de dados de voo e o gravador de voz da cabine foram recuperados e enviados aos Estados Unidos para análise pelo NTSB.

A GCAA divulgou seu relatório final de investigação em julho de 2013. O relatório indicou que o incêndio foi causado pela autoignição do conteúdo de um palete de carga, que continha mais de 81.000 baterias de lítio e outros materiais combustíveis. O desligamento do pacote de ar condicionado 1 por motivos desconhecidos fez com que a fumaça entrasse no cabine de comando.

A investigação também revelou que o forro de carga falhou quando o fogo começou, e isso contribuiu para a gravidade dos danos.

Dramatização
O acidente foi apresentado na 15ª temporada do Mayday (ou Air Crash Investigation) em 11 de janeiro de 2016. O episódio foi ao ar no National Geographic Channel no Reino Unido e no resto do mundo e é intitulado "Fatal Delivery" ("Entrega Fatal" no Brasil).
