title: Ouzel Fire

abstract:
On August 9, 1978, a lightning strike near Ouzel Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park sparked the Ouzel Fire. The Ouzel Fire of 1978 tested the strength and support of the new controlled burning policies, as well as paved the way for future changes in fire management. The fire initially simmered on the ground for weeks with the occasional tree burning. However, in mid-September, the Chinook winds picked up and caused the fire to drastically spread, covering over 1000 acres. The winds carried the fire in a specific direction, five miles in length but less than half a mile wide. Soon, the fire approached Allenspark, threatening the town and homes in the surrounding area. Residents evacuated, but no harm came to their homes. At this point, the fire stations signaled the alarms to begin fighting the fire. The fire continued to blaze for a time, and officials speculated that nature might halt what it had created through humidity, rain, or snow. On Monday, September 16, 1978, 3-4 feet of new snow rested just 2000 feet above where the fire was blazing. Although the snow helped the 500 firefighters in their battle, they were still unable to put out the fire. Topography was what saved the town: a small ridge drove the wind upwards and halted the fire on the outskirts of the town. Through a months-long battle, the fire was finally declared out on December 4, 1978.
The threat that this fire imposed on surrounding communities and the rate at which it exponentially increased in size convinced the public that the new natural burning policy was misguided. Complete fire suppression had been the main policy of wildfire control since the founding of the Forest Service in the early 1900s. These policies changed in the mid-1970s, and the Ouzel Fire, among others, were crucial in determining the success of the new policies. A Louisville Times article published in February of 1979, a couple of months after the fire was finally put out, described the "deficiencies" in the new fire program, specifically, disregard for air quality, residential development, urban interferences, and pre-existing fire conditions. This fire was the first of the natural fires to actually threaten a community, which led to the perception that the new policy was irresponsible and dangerous. This doubt in the new Federal Policy caused scientists to look into what went wrong with the Ouzel Fire. They came to conclusions similar to what the Louisville Times article stated: plans were not fully thought out, landscape and topography of the Rocky Mountain National Park was not fully considered, and fire conditions were ignored.
Since the Ouzel Fire ravaged through Rocky Mountain National Park, the federal government has revised the prescribed and natural burning policies to prevent another mishap that threatens surrounding communities. The 2000 National Fire Plan forced controlled burning plans to implement a three step checklist considering weather conditions, nearby resources, and homes: the three factors that were ignored when initially managing the Ouzel fire. The abundance of residential areas in the United States makes implementing this policy difficult, as many fires often threaten some sort of surrounding community. However, since the Ouzel Fire, Rocky Mountain National Park has burned 7 times between 1978 and 2005. Therefore, despite the protest of controlled burnings after the Ouzel Fire grew out of control, prescribed burns still remained a main policy for wildfire management. The Ouzel Fire of 1978 was one of the first major wildfires after the implementation of prescribed burning as the main fire management policy and because of the way the fire acted, new stricter policies were enacted.

# PHL-Microsat

The **Philippine Scientific Earth Observation Microsatellite** (**PHL-Microsat**) was a satellite program carried by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) of the Philippines in cooperation with the Tohoku and Hokkaido University of Japan.

## Background

Hokkaido University and Tohoku University of Japan initiated a project to send 50 microsatellites into space by 2050. The project will photograph aftermaths of natural disasters, partnering with governments, universities and other organizations based in Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Mongolia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. Two satellites are commissioned for the Philippine government.

Diwata-1 is the first satellite of the venture and is also a part of the Department of Science and Technology's Philippine Scientific Earth Observation Micro-Satellite (PHL-Microsat) Program which was initiated in December 2014 by the government agency. The satellite is an updated version of the Raijin-2, which was developed by the two Japanese universities. The satellite was deployed from the International Space Station on April 27, 2016. Diwata-1 was replaced by Diwata-2 sometime in 2018.

The Philippine Department of Science and Technology (DOST) announced on June 29, 2017 that two CubeSats or nanosatellites will be launch in 2018. One of these satellites was Maya-1, a nanosatellite developed under the Kyushu Institute of Technology-led Birds-2 project, was launched to space. The equipment is the first nanosatellite of the Philippines and is also placed under the PHL-Microsat program. It is to be deployed from the ISS sometime in August 2018, On August 10, Maya-1 was deployed from the ISS along with satellites from Bhutan and Malaysia.

The PHL-Microsat program was officially succeeded by the STAMINA4Space Program in August 2018. The last satellite launched under the PHL-Microsat program, Maya-1 was decommissioned in November 2020.

## Phases

The project is divided into five sub-projects or phases.

| Project No. | Objective |
| --- | --- |
| 1 | Development of Diwata-1 and Diwata-2 microsatellites |
| 2 | Development of a ground receiving station |
| 3 | Data processing, archiving and distribution subsystem development |
| 4 | Calibration and validation of remote sensing instruments |
| 5 | Remote sensing data product development |

# Oxmo Puccino

**Abdoulaye Plea Diarra** (French pronunciation: \[abdulaj plea djaʁa\]; born 3 August 1974), better known by his stage name **Oxmo Puccino** (French: \[ɔksmo putʃino\], Italian: \[putˈtʃiːno\]), is a Malian rapper.

## Career

A longtime hip hop fan, at age 21 Diarra began his collaboration with the fledgling rap collective Time Bomb, honing his craft alongside future superstars like Booba and Diam's. He quickly developed into a lyricist with a metaphorical ingenuity far more advanced than his contemporaries, crafting violent yet strangely poetic portraits of urban Paris life and drawing on the street-smart American hip-hop of the Notorious B.I.G. and other icons to document life in Paris' hardscrabble 19th district. In 1996 Oxmo Puccino made his recorded debut with *Pucc. Fiction*, a contribution to the compilation *L432*. A series of subsequent mixtape appearances solidified his growing reputation within the French rap underground, and in 1998 he issued his solo debut, *Opéra Puccino*. Its 2001 follow-up, *L'Amour Est Mort*, proved Puccino's creative and commercial breakthrough, while 2004's *Le Cactus de Sibérie* confirmed his star status. After signing to the venerable jazz label Blue Note, Puccino assembled a new backing group, the Jazzbastards, to record 2006's *Lipopette Bar*.

* In 2007, rapper Styles P. used the instrumental of "Black Desperado" in his own album *Super Gangster (Extraordinary Gentleman)*, in the song "Holiday". The track was produced by DJ Green Lantern.
* In 2011, he was in a Nike ad promotion reciting a passage from Cyrano de Bergerac
* He has appeared in 2011 music video for "1990" by Orelsan, as a tribute to the 1990s. He was invited to sing the track in Orelsan's live tour as a guest in the Paris Olympia gig in 2012.
* He is featured as the spoken word artist on Ibrahim Maalouf's track, "Douce", from the 2011 studio album, "Diagnostic".

## Personal life

Puccino was born in 1974 in Ségou, Mali. He came to Paris one year later, and lived in the 19th arrondissement from the age of 5. Oxmo Puccino is the older brother of the French international basketball player Mamoutou Diarra.

# P.V. type minesweeping trawler

The **P.V. type minesweeping trawlers** were seven Royal Canadian Navy minesweeping trawlers built before the First World War in the United States. Initially constructed and used as menhaden trawlers they were taken into service the Royal Canadian Navy during the First World War for patrol duty along the Atlantic coast. Following the war they were returned to their original service.

## Construction and design

The seven vessels that made up the P.V. type were initially named *William H. Murray*, *Amagansett*, *Herbert N. Edwards*, *Martin J. Marran*, *Rollin E. Mason*, *Leander Wilcox* and *Rowland H. Wilcox*. The trawlers were built at three locations in northeastern United States. *William H. Murray*, *Amagansett*, *Herbert N. Edwards* and *Martin J. Marran* were constructed at Rockland, Maine. *Rollin E. Mason* was built at Essex, Massachusetts and *Leander Wilcox* and *Rowland H. Wilcox* were constructed at Noank, Connecticut.

The seven vessels that made up the P.V. type were of varying but similar dimensions. *William H. Murray* and *Amagansett* were the largest of the seven. They were 151 feet 6 inches (46.2 m) long with a beam of 24 feet 1 inch (7.3 m) and a draught of 13 feet (4.0 m). They had a displacement of 390 long tons (400 ). Both were launched in 1912. *Herbert J. Edwards*, *Martin J. Marrin* and *Rollin E. Mason* had the same length and beam of the previous two, however, their draught was 12 feet 9 inches (3.9 m) and had a displacement of 323 long tons (328 t). All three were launched in 1911 *Leander Wilcox* was 126 feet (38.4 m) long with a beam of 22 feet 3 inches (6.8 m) and a draught of 9 feet 2 inches (2.8 m) and had a displacement of 205 long tons (208 t). She was launched in 1903. *Rowland H. Wilcox* was 132 feet (40.2 m) long with the same beam as *Leander Wilcox*. However, her draught was deeper at 10 feet 7 inches (3.2 m) and she displaced 247 long tons (251 t). *Rowland H. Wilcox* was launched in 1911. All seven vessels had a maximum speed of 8 knots (15 km/h; 9.2 mph).

## Service history

The seven P.V. type vessels were constructed as menhaden fishing trawlers for use in the Atlantic fishery. In January 1917, the Royal Navy demanded that the Royal Canadian Navy expand its patrol force to protect the shipping lanes around the Canadian Atlantic coast. However, the British had no intention of providing any of their fleet of trawlers or patrol vessels in support. As part of the Royal Canadian Navy's effort to increase the number of patrol vessels, inquiries were sent to the United States to acquire suitable vessels. Those inquiries resulted in the seven menhaden trawlers being purchased in New England. Commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy, they took on new names. *William H. Murray* became *P.V. I*, *Amagansett* became *P.V. II*, *Herbert N. Edwards* became *P.V. III*, *Martin J. Marran* became *P.V. IV*, *Rollin E. Mason* became *P.V. V*, *Leander Wilcox* became *P.V. VI* and *Rowland H. Wilcox* became *P.V. VII*. Their 8-knot speed made them more suitable as minesweepers and they were converted into such with the addition of a QF 12-pounder (76 mm) gun placed forward.

Entering service in March 1917, the seven trawlers formed a minesweeping flotilla based out of Sydney, Nova Scotia for the remainder of the war until April 1919. In April they were disarmed and resumed their former purpose as fishing trawler. They returned to their former names as well.

# Damwâld

**Damwâld** (Dutch: Damwoude) is a village in the Dantumadiel municipality of Friesland, in the Netherlands. In 2020 it had 5630 citizens. This number of citizens makes Damwâld the largest village in the municipality of Dantumadiel.

## History

The present day village of Damwâld is a merged place of three older villages, merged in 1971. The three villages were; Dantumawoude *(Dantumawâld)*, Akkerwoude *(Ikkerwâld)* and Murmerwoude *(Moarrewâld)*. But it was in the 19th century that the villages started really growing together already. From the second half of that century the buildings strongly densified and in 1880 along the Murmerlaan (later named the Haadwei) the first tram track of Friesland was opened, a horse track.

The municipality decided to move the town hall to Murmerwoude. Up until 1881 this was located in the village of Rinsumageast. The move was a bit surprising considering the fact that Murmerwoude was the smallest of the three villages and Dantumawoude which the municipality is named after had a bit of higher status with a history of noble stone house (stins) and the then called village of Zwaagwesteinde (De Westereen) having the biggest population. In that village al lot of people where claiming that's the reason why the town hall should have moved to there. But it never happened. The town hall in Murmerwoude had been renovated a number of times but eventually, around 1970, the municipality decided that the town hall will be moved to stately stins of Rinsmastate in Driezum.

The move meant that a lot of the services and shops in the three villages could have been in doubt without further steps been taken. Losing the town hall could mean losing the center place-function. That and a practical reasons with the fact that the three villages even more blended together since the new housing constructions of the 1960s. And some of the houses being in one villages while others in another while they there in a row behind each other. Making it a bit confusion for the everyday people and people like the mailman. To eventually solve this problem, the local government fused the three small towns into one, in 1971, a small year before the new town hall in Driezum came into use. Giving the history the older issues probably played in the background as well. But it was until 1999 that the town hall was back in Damwâld, not far from the place where it was located in Murmerwoude.

A lot of the people from the three villages where themselves against the merger. The people of Akkerwoude especially. It was hotly debated but the council of the municipality decided to continue with the merger. The name of the new town came to be Damwoude. The first letter of the Dutch name of each smaller village made up the first three letters of the new name. But also the name was already used historically as a short version of Dantumawoude, dating back from around 1700 and the 19th century. In 1971 there was a plea that all three villages should be named under the new town signs. That was granted, but those signs disappeared slowly over the years. The new town continued to grow and thus retained its center function.

In 2008 the municipality Dantumadiel decided that it was going the replace all the official Dutch names within the municipality with the West Frisian names, meaning that Damwâld was from 2009 the official name instead of the Dutch name Damwoude.

**Dalkey** is a locality in the Mid North of South Australia. It was established as a private subdivision of section 171 in the Hundred of Dalkey on the main road from Adelaide to Balaklava. It is named for the Hundred of Dalkey which in turn was named after Dalkey in Ireland. The boundaries of the locality were defined in 2000 for the long-established name.

## History

The Dalkey area was initially used for pasture, but soon settlers found it good for growing wheat, which was carted by horse or bullock wagons to Port Wakefield for further shipment. Dalkey post office opened in 1866 and closed in 1910.

When German farmers settled in the area in the 1860s, their settlement was known as **Sichem**. A Lutheran school was built in 1868, also used as a place of worship until a separate church building was constructed between 1872 and 1875.

The District Council of Dalkey was established in 1875 with the council chamber being built at Owen in 1882.

The Dalkey Cemetery was registered in 1877.

The Dalkey Lutheran congregation moved to a new church in Balaklava in 1899.

A new school was built at Dalkey in 1905 and closed in 1917 as part of cleansing German from public life during World War I.

# Oxygen reduction reaction

In chemistry, the **oxygen reduction reaction** refers to the reduction half reaction whereby O2 is reduced to water or hydrogen peroxide. In fuel cells, the reduction to water is preferred because the current is higher. The oxygen reduction reaction is well demonstrated and highly efficient in nature.

## Stoichiometry

The stoichiometries of the oxygen reduction reaction, which depends on the medium, are shown:

4e pathway in acid medium: $\ce {O2 + 4 e- + 4H+ -\> 2 H2O}$

2e pathway in acid medium: $\ce {O2 + 2e- + 2H+ -\> H2O2}$

4e pathway in alkaline medium: $\ce {O2 + 4e- + 2H2O -\> 4 OH-}$

2e pathway in alkaline medium: $\ce {O2 + 2e- + H2O -\> HO2- + OH-}$

4e- pathway in solid oxide: $\ce {O2 + 4e- -\> 2 O^2-}$

The 4e pathway reaction is the cathode reaction in fuel cell especially in proton-exchange membrane fuel cells, alkaline fuel cell and solid oxide fuel cell. While the 2e pathway reaction is often the side reaction of 4e- pathway or can be used in synthesis of H2O2.

## Catalysts

### Biocatalysts

The oxygen reduction reaction is an essential reaction for aerobic organisms. Such organisms are powered by the heat of combustion of fuel (food) by O2. Rather than combustion, organisms rely on elaborate sequences of electron-transfer reactions, often coupled to proton transfer. The direct reaction of O2 with fuel is precluded by the oxygen reduction reaction, which produces water and adenosine triphosphate. Cytochrome c oxidase affects the oxygen reduction reaction by binding O2 in a hemeCu complex. In laccase, O2 is engaged and reduced by a four-copper aggregate. Three Cu centers bind O2, and one Cu center functions as an electron donor.

### Heterogeneous catalysts

In fuel cells, platinum is the most common catalyst. Because platinum is expensive, it is dispersed on a carbon support. Certain facets of platinum are more active than others.

### Coordination complexes

Detailed mechanistic work results from studies on transition metal dioxygen complexes, which represent models for the initial encounter between O2 and the metal catalyst. Early catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction were based on cobalt phthalocyanines. Many related coordination complexes have been tested. as the oxygen reduction reaction catalyst and different electrocatalysis performance was achieved by these small molecules. These exciting results trigger further research of the non-noble metal contained small molecules used for the oxygen reduction reaction electrocatalyst. Besides phthalocyanine, porphyrin is also a suitable ligand for metal center to provide N4 part in the M-N4 site. In biosystems, many oxygen related physical chemical reactions are carried by proteins containing the metal-prophyrin unit such as O2 delivery, O2 storage, O2 reduction and H2O2 oxidation.

### Recent development and modification

Since the oxygen reduction reaction in fuel cells need to be catalyzed heterogeneously, conductive substrates such as carbon materials is always needed in constructing electrocatalysts. To increase the conductivity and enhance the substrate-loading interaction, thermal treatment is usually performed before application. During the treatment, M-N4 active sites turn to aggregate spontaneously due to the high intrinsic energy, which will dramatically decrease the active site density. Therefore, increasing the active site density and creating atomic level dispersed catalyst is a key step to improve the catalyst activity. To solve this problem, we can use some porous substrates to confine the active sites or use some defect or ligands to prevent the migration of the active site. In the mean time, the porous structure or the defect will also be beneficial to the oxygen absorption process.

Besides active site density, the electron configuration of M center in M-N4 active site also plays an important role in the activity and stability of an oxygen reduction reaction catalyst. Because the electron configuration of M center can affects the redox potential, which determines the activation energy of the oxygen reduction reaction. To modulate the electron configuration, a simple way is to change the ligands of the metal center. For example, researchers found that whether the N atoms in M-N4 active sites are pyrrolic or pyridinic can affect the performance of the catalyst. Besides, some heteroatoms such as S, P other than N can also be used to modulate the electron configuration too, since these atoms have different electronegativity and electron configuration.

# PERCS

**PERCS** (**Productive, Easy-to-use, Reliable Computing System**) is IBM's answer to DARPA's High Productivity Computing Systems (HPCS) initiative. The program resulted in commercial development and deployment of the Power 775, a supercomputer design with extremely high performance ratios in fabric and memory bandwidth, as well as very high performance density and power efficiency.

IBM officially announced the Power 775 on July 12, 2011 and started to ship systems in August 2011.

## Background

The HPCS program was a three phase research and development effort. IBM was one of three companies, along with Cray and Sun Microsystems, that received the HPCS grant for Phase II. In this phase, IBM collaborated with a consortium of 12 universities and the Los Alamos National Lab to pursue an adaptable computing system with the goal of commercial viability of new chip technology, new computer architecture, operating systems, compiler and programming environments.

IBM was chosen for Phase III in November 2006, and granted $244 million in funds for continuing development of PERCS technology and delivering prototype systems by 2010.

## Deployment

The first supercomputer using PERCS technology was intended to be the Blue Waters system, however the high costs and complexity of the system resulted in its contract being canceled. The machine was subsequently delivered by Cray Inc, using a combination of GPUs and CPUs for processing, and a network with reduced global bandwidth capabilities.

Power775 / PERCS systems were subsequently deployed at roughly two dozen institutions in the U.S. and other countries, in installations ranging from 2,000 to over 64,000 Power7 processing cores. Major deployments have been for network-intensive and memory-intensive applications (as opposed to FLOPS-intensive), such as weather & climate modeling (ECMWF, UKMO, Environment Canada, Japan Meteorological Agency), and scientific research (University of Warsaw, Slovak Academy of Sciences, and several other government laboratories in the U.S., and other countries).

## Technology

PERCS will use IBM's large-scale technologies from servers and supercomputers like the POWER7 microprocessor, AIX operating system, X10 programming language and General Parallel File System.

### Power 775

Sometimes known as the POWER7-IH or P7-IH, the Power 775 is the commercial product that was developed by PERCS as a part of IBM Power Systems line. The Power 775 was released by IBM in 2011 as a commercial product after IBM ended its participation in the Blue Waters petaflops project at the University of Illinois, but marketed the 775 based on the growth of its high-performance computing business.

Unlike the IBM Blue Gene series, which uses low-power processors to avoid heat-density issues, the Power 775 was a water-cooled rack-module system, and each module was 34 inches wide, 54 inches deep and 3.5 inches high (2U).

Each drawer comprises 8 cache coherent nodes (each of which can host single one or more O/S images) with a MCM with four POWER7 CPUs each, and 16 DDR3 SDRAM slots per MCM for a total of 256 POWER7 cores and 2 TB RAM. Each drawer has 8 optical connect controller hub chips, connecting neighboring MCMs, PCIe peripherals and other compute nodes in a dragonfly network topology. One rack can house up to a dozen Power 775 drawers for a total performance of 96 TFLOPS.

The system supports up to 24 terabytes of memory and 230 terabytes of storage per rack. It is estimated to achieve over 94 teraflops per rack.

***Colonial Man*** is the eighteenth studio album by South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela. It was recorded in New York and Chicago and released on LP and eight-track cassette on 30 January 1976 via the Casablanca Records label. The album's title song "Colonial Man", "Vasco Da Gama" and "Cecil Rhodes" express African anti-colonial sentiments. At the time of its release, it was referred to variously by reviewers as a concept album and a protest album.

## Reception

A reviewer of Dusty Groove wrote: "A later album from Hugh Masekela – but still plenty darn hip, way more so than most of the other artists on the Casablanca label at the time! Hugh's South African groove is still very firmly in place here – mixed with a slightly warmer LA soul sound, but expanded with loads of great arrangements that get a lot more complicated than before – and which bring in some great keyboard and percussion bits. Sivuca makes a wonderful appearance on 1st and 3rd tracks – using that blend of voice and accordion that sounds so great – and the whole record's got a depth and sense of soul that you'd never guess from it's \[*sic*\] silly title and cover!"

# The Guests (The Outer Limits)

"**The Guests**" is an episode of the original *The Outer Limits* television show. It first aired on March 23, 1964, during the first season.

## Introduction

A free-spirited, young man is forced against his will to walk up the stairs in an old house to a room where he encounters an alien being.

## Plot

Wade Norton, a young drifter, finds an old man dying by the side of a remote country road. He picks up the man's pocketwatch, which contains a large photo of a young woman. Seeking help, he enters a mansion he sees atop the hill, whose inhabitants are surprisingly unhelpful but uncannily curious about the age of the man whom he found. With the exception of a soulful young woman whose image is in the watch, all seem mean-spirited and uninterested.

Trying to leave through the front door, Norton is forced backward and upstairs by a mysterious compulsion to discover that the house is the lair of an amorphous, gelatinous alien being who is keeping the group of desperate humans suspended in time until it can comprehend the disposition of humanity. It interrogates him then returns him to the group residing in the house where he is to learn the reason for their captivity.

The young woman, knowing the potential fate of the drifter, leads Norton to an escape route, which is through a gate attached to a small cemetery plot accessible from the mansion. However, she discloses to him that she cannot accompany him through the gate because all her years will catch up with her, and she will die. Thus, the drifter chooses to remain with her in spite of the warnings. As she realizes he will be trapped among them for eternity, she departs through the gate herself and, having eschewed her protection from the passage of time, withers and turns to dust. The observing alien has found the factors missing in its equation: love and self-sacrifice. Releasing Norton, who has discovered in himself hope, it proceeds to deconstruct the house and destroy its tenants. The mansion returns momentarily to its true appearance, that of a rock shaped like an enormous brain, and then disappears.

This episode has no opening or closing narration by the Control Voice.

## Background

Donald S. Sanford was hired by Lou Morheim on the strength of his work on the Boris Karloff anthology series *Thriller*, for which he had scripted fifteen episodes including "The Incredible Dr. Markesan" and "The Cheaters", as Joseph Stefano had been looking for story material with a heavy emphasis on the Gothic to provide director Curtis Harrington with an *Outer Limits* episode. (Harrington had directed the low-budget film *Night Tide*, an offbeat version of the Lorelei myth, in 1961 which had impressed Stefano.) A script by Charles Beaumont was given to Sanford for revision, though in the end Sanford came up with his own more Gothic plot, Harrington backed out and Paul Stanley directed.

Charles Beaumont, who had written many memorable episodes of *The Twilight Zone*, sold Joseph Stefano a script titled "An Ordinary Town" (dated Jan 3 1964), which was quite similar to a *Twilight Zone* episode he had written the previous year titled "Valley of the Shadow", in which a newspaper man, Philip Redfield, is trapped in an isolated rural town that keeps the benefits of a wondrous technology (possibly brought by aliens) to itself." An Ordinary Town," Redfield is replaced with two protagonists, and the alien influence becomes a gigantic brain controlling the town. The only element carried over from Beaumont's script to Sanford's is the shot of the enormous brain sitting atop a hill where a mansion should be. Everything else in "The Guests" is Sanford's own story.

Sanford's script needed so little revision that Stefano neglected to add on the customary Control Voice speeches.

# Ennore Thermal Power Station

The **Ennore Thermal Power Station** is a coal based power plant located in Chennai Ennore, Tamil Nadu.

## History

Ennore Thermal Power Station was constructed to serve the purpose of energy generation in the year 1970. It is one of the four major thermal power plants of Tamil Nadu established by the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited (TANGEDCO). Presently it has an installed capacity of 450 MW (600,000 hp). The necessary coal arrives through ship to the Ennore Port. However, the construction of the 1,000 MW plants (1,300,000 hp) in the premise began in the year 2007. The Station presently consists of two 60-MW and three 110-MW units. A 500-MW coal-based unit was proposed, and its development started in the month of November 2007. The total cost of the venture was 270 crores. The plant was shut down on 31.03.2017 and will be replaced.

## Features

The Power Station has been a major provider of electricity in the state and its production capacity has been improved over the years. The Ennore Power Station has also garnered various awards from the TANGEDCO. However power deficit seems to be playing an important role for the recent decision. It also has a special treatment plant to dispose the ash slurry in a proper way.

Coal for ETPS is received from MCL (Talchar and Ib Valley), Orissa and ECL, Raniganj, West Bengal. The plant load factor (PLF) for the year 2008–2009 was 49.17 percent.

## Shut down and Proposed Replacement

After more than forty years the Power Plant was shut down permanently on March 31, 2017. It will be replaced with a single Supercritical unit of 660 MW, also run by the TANGEDCO. The replacement does not have clearance yet. The plant is opposed by the residents who fear that the new plant will degrade the air quality and lead to a loss of fishing livelihoods.

# Equinox House Historic District

The **Equinox House Historic District** encompasses the historic center of the village of Manchester, Vermont. It includes a small group of civic and commercial buildings around the junction of Main Street (Vermont Route 7A) and Union Street, with the luxury Equinox House hotel as its primary focus. The district, developed as a tourist destination in the late 1800s, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, and enlarged in 1980. It is a small portion of the Manchester Village Historic District.

## Description and history

Manchester is a town in northern Bennington County, Vermont, with its village center on the east side of Equinox Mountain. The heart of the village is at the junction of Vermont 7A, formerly the major north–south route through the area, and Union Street, which extends east toward the Battenkill River. The area has long been known for the spa waters that came down from the mountain, and has since the mid-19th century been a tourist destination. The Equinox Hotel, one of Vermont's few surviving 19th-century grand hotels, anchors the west side of the village, and has catered to many prominent visitors over its long history. Prominent guests included Mary Todd Lincoln and her son Robert, who later built the Hildene estate to the south, and Ulysses S. Grant.

Across Main Street from the hotel, facing either Main Street or Union Street, are a number of civic and commercial buildings, all built before 1872. Notable among these are the First Congregation Church, built in 1871 and the town's tallest building, and the Bennington County Courthouse (1822). Of commercial note is the Orvis Building, where in 1856 Charles Orvis founded the eponymous company that dominates the fly-fishing market. A number of the buildings in the center are associated with the Orvises, who were an economically significant force in the town for many years.

The Equinox Hotel was listed on the National Register in 1972. In 1980 the listing was enlarged to include the other buildings; all of these are also contributing elements to the Manchester Village Historic District.

# Eric Leeds

**Eric Leeds** is an American saxophone player, mostly known for his work with Prince. He has recorded mostly music in the pop and funk genres, but is a studied jazz musician.

## Life and career

Leeds was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the son of a retailer. He moved to Richmond, Virginia, at the age of seven, where he lived from 1959 to 1966, and then moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at the age of fourteen, where he attended junior high school and college. Leeds lived in Pittsburgh for eighteen years and started a music career there. Leeds studied saxophone with mentor Eric Kloss, who had signed to Prestige Records at the age of sixteen. He attended Duquesne University. He played in a band named "On The Corner" during the 1970s, which consisted of two trumpets, one tenor sax, one baritone sax, and a four-piece rhythm section. Eric played baritone sax in the band. Rich Mansfield, also known as Brother Rick and the musical director from the American Soundtrack series played tenor sax in the band.

Leeds' brother, Alan Leeds, was the tour manager for Prince in the early 1980s and introduced his brother to Prince not long after the *Purple Rain* tour. Prince was impressed by Leeds' talents and featured him in the band The Family in 1985. The band was short-lived, but Prince invited Leeds into The Revolution for his *Parade* tour. Leeds brought along long-time friend Matt Blistan, who was renamed Atlanta Bliss by Prince.

After the breakup of The Revolution, Prince retained Leeds and Bliss for his succeeding band and used their talents greatly over his next three albums. Bliss left the fold in 1989 but Leeds lent his talents to Madhouse (1987–1993) and various Prince projects throughout the years.

In 1991, Leeds released the album *Times Squared* on Prince's Paisley Park Records, which incorporated rock, pop and jazz sounds. The tracks that Leeds chose for the album were recorded by Prince and Leeds between 1985 and 1988. A second album, entitled *Things Left Unsaid*, was released in 1993 with one Prince contribution.

The Family reunited in 2007 under the name fDeluxe with all original members (except Jerome Benton), including Leeds. In 2012, they released their album, *Gaslight*, independently.

**Elements** (stylised as ELEMENTS) is a large shopping mall located at Union Square, on 1 Austin Road West, West Kowloon, Hong Kong. It is developed and managed by MTR Corporation through its subsidiary Premier Management Service.

## Description and architectural themes

Elements is located directly above the Kowloon MTR station, and connected to the International Commerce Centre, residential complexes and hotels above the mall, as well as a pedestrian footbridge linking to the M+ Museum and the West Kowloon Cultural District.

### Zoning

The mall is divided into five zones based on the concept of the five elements of Nature, namely Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth. Each zone is designed with a distinctive interior architectural theme that responds to the element, public art such as large scale sculptures are also employed to enhance the respective theme. The Wood Zone is highlighted by the sculpture/furniture "The Trails by Worms" and series of art works made of tree branches; the Water Zone is represented by the water feature "Harmony", which is a series of standalone reflective pillar measure (approximately) 9 meters (30 ft) tall with water running down the surface, creating the illusion of a solid yet liquid fountain; the Fire Zone is symbolised by the sculpture "White Heat" and the Earth Zone is symbolised by the sculpture "1/9", which is a set of rock formation, the number 9 is associated with the land where the shopping mall is built because the word *Kowloon* literally means "Nine Dragons". The Metal Zone is symbolised by metal rings hanging from above, it is also where high fashion and jewellery brands can be found.

### Facilities

The Elements has a total of 123 shops as of 2008, along with an ice rink and the 1,600-seat Premiere Cinema (formerly The Grand Cinema), currently the largest cinema complex in Hong Kong.

The mall has ten washrooms, outside which there is a lobby with sitting area and magazine rack. Management said these are conceived for men "to wait for their girlfriends outside the washroom", providing "a decent and comfortable place for them to wait".

The shopping mall has a great emphasis on fashion and wardrobe with (as of 2008) 58 shops in that category out of a total of 123 shops in the mall.

## Transport

Elements is situated directly above the Kowloon station which is served by the Tung Chung line and Airport Express, which features in-town check in service. The mall is also directly accessible to the MTR Kowloon Station Bus Terminus by escalators, providing various bus and minibus routes.

Several pedestrian footbridges also connect Elements to the adjacent West Kowloon Terminus high-speed rail station, and the Austin station which is served by the Tuen Ma line.

Near the North and South entrances of the mall are vehicle pick-up/drop-off points, red taxi stands, and entrances to the North and South carparks. The mall has installed 12 Tesla Superchargers and 9 Destination Chargers in its carparks for electric vehicles.
