Otto Zoff

Otto Zoff (9 April 1890 – 14 December 1963) was an Austrian author, script writer, dramaturge, journalist and "all-round Bohemian". For reasons of politics and race he spent much of his life abroad, including almost twenty years as an immigrant in the United States of America. During his lifetime he was noted, in particular, for his drama compositions and historical monographs, but fifty years after his death he had for most purposes fallen out of fashion.
Life.
Otto Friedländer-Zoff was born in Prague, at that time a multi-cultural and intellectually dynamic city. His father, Otto Andreas Zoff, who had served time in prison before he married, is variously described as a senior railway inspector and a military official. When the boy was aged 2 the family relocated to Sankt Pölten, the first substantial town along the main railway line from Vienna travelling west. Shortly afterwards they moved again, this time to Hainfeld, a much smaller town to the southwest of Vienna. It was in Hainfeld that Otto Zoff's younger sister, Marianne Zoff (who later became the first wife of Bertolt Brecht) was born.
In 1909 he enrolled at the University of Vienna where he studied the History of Arts and Literature. His teachers included Max Dvořák. He emerged with a doctorate in 1914. By that time he had started to contribute poems and short stories to the literary journal . 1913 also saw the publication of his first novel, "Das Haus am Wege". Friends during his time at university included the novelists Felix Braun and , as well as the art historian Leopold Zahn.
During the First World War Zoff moved to Berlin where he wrote for various newspapers and magazines, including the Berliner Tageblatt, the Berliner Börsen-Courier, Neue Rundschau, and Wieland. Along with that, during 1916/17 he was employed as an editor with the publisher S. Fischer Verlag. In 1917 he took a job as a dramaturge in Munich at the Munich Kammerspiele (theatre) where between 1919 and 1923 he was deputy theatre director. His literary career also continued to flourish, with the novel "Der Winterrock" ("The winter skirt") published in 1919. He also enjoyed great success during the early 1920s with stage adaptations of literary works, a notable example being a liberal reworking of von Eichendorff's "Die Freier" ("The suitors"), which was staged by almost a hundred theatres.
Such adaptations were a major focus of Zoff's work through the rest of the decade, during which he worked as a freelance writer and editor. Starting in 1926 he also began to contribute radio scripts to the broadcasters being set up in major cities such as Vienna, Breslau and Munich. What was, perhaps, his most important novel, "Die Liebenden" appeared in 1929, and stimulated a certain amount of controversy with its mixture of "new worldly" and "tearfully conventional" aspects.
After 1931 Zoff spent most of his time in Italy. However, it was in Berlin that in 1933 he met Liselotte Kalischer whom he married shortly afterwards. 1933 was also the year in which the Nazis took power in Germany and lost little time in transforming Germany into a one-party dictatorship. Otto Zoff and his young wife were politically leftwing and Zoff's mother was Jewish. At one point during the mid-1930s Zoff's novels were publicly burned and placed on a list of banned books in Nazi Germany (which after 1938 would also include Austria). Otto and Liselotte settled in Milan, where Liselotte and her sister ran a "movement therapy" clinic. Their daughter Constance ("Stanzel" / "Stanzi") Zoff was born in 1938. In the meantime, under circumstances that remain unclear, the ban against publishing Zoff's books had been lifted in Germany where his historical presentation "The Huguenots" appeared in 1937. During the later 1930s Zoff ostentatiously turned his back on authorship, preferring to earn his living by playing roulette. He was joined in this enterprise by the (originally Viennese) archaeologist Guido Kaschnitz von Weinberg. Sources indicate that gambling produced a negative income, however, and the Zoffs were dependent on Liselotte's earnings during these years.
War was declared in September 1939 and France was invaded in May/June 1940. The three Zoffs relocated to Nice which had become part of France eighty years before. Other Jewish intellectuals, such as the Zoffs' friend Walter Benjamin, made similar moves to the French riviera. Like thousands of others following the German invasion from the north, they now became involved in a desperate struggle to obtain the visas and other documents necessary to exit France, traverse Spain, and then to emigrate to the United States of America. Liselotte Zoff's previous husband's was a man called Ludwig Köbner. Köbner's second wife lived in New York City, and he was able to help them obtain the necessary "Danger visa". In 1941 the Zoffs arrived in New York.
Zoff settled in an artists' colony in New Hampshire. Due to the scale of the enforced exodus from central Europe of Jewish (and other) intellectuals, Otto Zoff had arrived in New York to find plenty of influential contacts, such as the publisher Kurt Wolff and his wife Helene and the writers Alfred Neumann and Hermann Kesten. Another familiar face belonged to Bertolt Brecht who remained a friend despite his marriage to Zoff's younger sister having ended more than ten years earlier. Although he had ready made social network in the literary world, Otto Zoff barely set foot in it himself, having apparently lost the necessary spark of spontaneity. He saw his friends, but did not become attached to any particular social circle, preferring to remain a "loner": Liselotte thought that he might have feared being overshadowed. He spent long hours at his desk, and had grand ideas, but little came of it. After the war, and more particularly during the early 1950s, he undertook work as a correspondent for various West Germany newspapers, but sources suggest that it was still Liselotte, working as a therapist, who was the principal bread winner.
Directly following the war the Zoffs were in no hurry to return to Germany, but by 1950 they would have liked to be able to visit. Initially they were unable to obtain passports, having apparently fallen under suspicion for their leftwing views in the context of the McCarthyism of the times. However, US naturalization certificates dated 15 May 1953 were issued by the New York Southern District Court for Otto and Liselotte Zoff. At first they were still unable to visit Europe due to lack of cash. However, later in 1953 they were able to make the trip "because a rich friend gave us the money", as Liselotte wrote. In addition to work for German newspapers, at some point during the postwar years Otto Zoff worked as New York correspondent for the . In the later 1950s he also experienced a moderate return to form with his writing, notably with his 1959 comedy "König Hirsch" ("King Stag"), adapted from a piece by Carlo Gozzi.
Otto Zoff made his final visit to Germany in 1961, and stayed. He was now affected by the heart disease that would kill him. He died at Munich in his sleep during the night of 14 December 1963.

NASCAR Championship Weekend

Since 2002, NASCAR's top three racing series have closed their season with a weekend designed to crown each series' champion, officially known as NASCAR Championship Weekend.
From 2002 until 2019, the final race weekend of the season was run at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. Ford Motor Company became the title sponsor for all three races, and the weekend became known as Ford Championship Weekend. During the most recent round of ongoing schedule adjustments in NASCAR, the championship weekend races were moved. Beginning in 2020, the championship races will be held at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Arizona.
With the removal of Homestead from the final race weekend, some drivers have stated that the championship races should rotate between tracks every year instead of being held at one particular facility, similar to the Super Bowl.
History.
NASCAR first decided to conclude its respective seasons on the same weekend at the same track in 2002. Prior to that, all three series finished at different tracks. The then-Craftsman Truck Series' final event was at Phoenix for the previous several years and had always been held in the western United States. The then-Busch Series' final event had been held at Homestead-Miami Speedway since 1995 (in fact, the 1995 race was the first major race ever conducted at what was then Homestead Motorsports Complex). The then-Winston Cup Series had held its final race at Atlanta Motor Speedway from 1987 onward with one notable exception; the 2001 race actually served as the penultimate event due to the 9/11-related rescheduling of the fall race at New Hampshire International Speedway.
It was decided to hold the championship races at the Homestead facility in Florida, which had been on all three series' schedules since 1999 once the track received its Cup Series event. As mentioned previously, the events were held there until the end of the 2019 NASCAR season when the decision was made to move them to Arizona.
After each race, an official ceremony is conducted in victory lane where the final points leader in each series is given his championship trophy.
In 2016, NASCAR adopted a championship format that is similar in function to one used by the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series to determine their Champions. Over the course of the final races of the season, qualifying drivers are eliminated from championship contention if they are not above a certain threshold following a specific event. Once the field for each series is reduced to four contenders, the Championship Weekend races are then run with the highest finishing driver among the four in each series being crowned champion.
Pre-playoff history.
It was previously possible for a driver to clinch the championship before he even reached the final weekend. This happened a total of nine times, with each series having it occur at least once. The Xfinity Series saw it happen the most, on six occasions. The Truck Series saw it happen twice, while the Cup Series did so only once. When this happened, the champion would be presented with his trophy in an informal postrace ceremony with the official crowning happening following the final race.
In the pre-playoff era, there were a total of four occasions where a series points leader entering the race did not end it as champion. The first two occurrences happened during the Ford 200 Truck Series race. In 2003, Brendan Gaughan crashed out of the event late, finished 29th, and fell from first to fourth in the standings while Travis Kvapil won the championship. In 2007, Ron Hornaday Jr. and Mike Skinner were separated by 29 points going into the race, but points leader Skinner had a problem with one of his truck's tires and axles and finished 35th. Hornaday finished seventh and won the title by 54 points. In 2010, 46 points separated first place Denny Hamlin, second place Jimmie Johnson, and third place Kevin Harvick in the Sprint Cup standings. At various times in the Ford 400 each driver held the points lead, but in the end Johnson clinched his fifth consecutive Sprint Cup championship by finishing second in the race. Hamlin fell to second place, 39 points behind Johnson, with his 14th-place finish. Harvick finished 3rd in both the race and the points, 41 points behind Johnson. In 2011, Tony Stewart entered the race three points behind Carl Edwards for the Sprint Cup lead. Stewart won the Ford 400 with Edwards finishing second and the points race ended in a tie. However, due to Stewart holding more victories than Edwards over the course of the season (Stewart's win gave him five while Edwards only won once), Stewart won the tiebreaker and became series champion for a third time.
Multiple event winners.
Several drivers have won more than one race held during this weekend. Todd Bodine, Greg Biffle, Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards, and Matt Kenseth are the only drivers to win the same event more than once, while Busch and Edwards are the only two drivers to win multiple races in the same weekend. Bodine won the Truck race in 2005 and 2008, while Busch won the Nationwide races in 2009 and 2010. Biffle won the Cup race in 2004, 2005, and 2006, Edwards won in 2008 and 2010, and Kenseth won the Ford 300 in 2006 and 2014 and the Ford 400 in 2007. Edwards won the Ford 300 and Ford 400 in 2008 and Busch won the Ford 200 and 300 in 2010. In his two wins Busch accomplished a rare feat in that he clinched multiple owners' championships with his wins. His victory in the Ford 200 won Busch the Truck Series owners' championship for his own team, Kyle Busch Motorsports, while his 13th victory of the season in the #18 Joe Gibbs Racing Nationwide Series car clinched the series' owners' championship for JGR. (Busch did not win the drivers' championship, as he had not run the full schedule and it had been clinched before the Ford 300 even if he had, but despite only running 28 races his 13 wins helped propel him to a third-place finish in the final standings. Busch was one of three drivers that season who finished in the top ten without running a full schedule; his teammate Joey Logano finished eighth while only running 25 races and Kevin Harvick finished sixth with only 28 races under his belt. Further, this was the last year that NASCAR allowed drivers to earn points in multiple series as a rule was implemented for 2011 in which a driver had to declare which series he would race in for points, although he could continue to run in other series and accumulate owner points for his team.)
Besides the drivers listed above, several others have won more than one event in the Ford Championship Weekend during their racing careers. Kasey Kahne won the 2003 Ford 300 and the 2004 Ford 200, Jeff Gordon won the Busch race in 2000 and the Cup race in 2012; however, back in 2000, only the Cup and Busch Series raced that weekend and it wasn't the final races of the season for the two series. Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch are the only drivers to win all three Ford Championship Weekend events in their racing careers. Harvick won the Ford 300 in 2004, the Ford 200 in 2009, and the Ford EcoBoost 400 in 2014. Kyle Busch won the Ford 200 in 2010 and 2013, the Ford 300 twice in 2009 and 2010, and the Ford EcoBoost 400 in 2015.
Television and radio coverage.
Current.
Since the championship weekend festivities fall during the second half of the NASCAR season, the Xfinity and Cup Series races are carried by the television entity that is contracted to air that portion of the season. As of 2015, the rights are held by NBC Sports. The exception is the Truck Series race, as Fox Sports owns the exclusive rights to all Truck Series events. The Truck races air on Fox Sports 1, the successor to its former home Speed Channel, while the Xfinity and Cup races air on either NBC or NBCSN. The Xfinity race was on NBC in 2015 and on NBCSN all other years; the Cup race has been on NBC since 2015.
All championship races are carried over radio by Motor Racing Network.
Previous.
When Championship Weekend began, the Truck Series race was carried by ESPN2 as ESPN retained the rights to the series after losing its NASCAR broadcast rights following the 2000 season. Speed Channel took over all rights beginning in 2003; the network became Fox Sports 1 in August 2013.
Since NBC was already contracted to air the Busch and Cup races at Homestead once it acquired rights to the latter race, they continued to carry the races in conjunction with TNT, their broadcast partner. The networks shared coverage of the Busch race (NBC from 2002 to 2004, TNT in 2005 and 2006) while NBC aired the Cup race.
In 2007, ESPN returned to covering NASCAR and began carrying their championship weekend events over ESPN, ABC, and ESPN2. The ESPN family of networks actually had two separate contracts with NASCAR at the time; the Busch/Nationwide race aired on ESPN2 as ESPN was the exclusive television rights holder for the series under their contract. The Cup series race was carried by ABC until 2009 and ESPN until the contract ended in 2014 as part of ESPN's rights to the second half of the Cup season.
Race results.
As noted above, final races were run at Homestead-Miami Speedway from 2002 until 2019 and at Phoenix Raceway in 2020.

Service history.
The icebreaker was constructed by Halifax Shipyard at Halifax, Nova Scotia with the yard number 5. The vessel was completed in August 1930 and named for Nathan B. McLean, a government official who led an expedition to Hudson Bay in 1927. "N.B. McLean" entered service with the Department of Transport's Marine Service and made annual trips to Hudson Bay and the Arctic Ocean from 1930 to 1970. Due to the Great Depression, no major icebreakers were added to the government fleet and "N.B. McLean" remained the most powerful icebreaker in Canada's fleet until 1950.
In 1962, all Marine Service icebreakers were transferred to the newly created Canadian Coast Guard. In the 1960s a flight deck and hangar were added to the stern of the ship. "N.B. McLean" made her final voyage to the Arctic in 1970 and was used on the St. Lawrence River and in the Gulf of St. Lawrence until being taken out of service in 1979. Following her decommissioning, efforts to turn the vessel into a museum ship at Quebec City, Quebec failed and the vessel was sold for scrap in 1988.

UAW-Ford National Programs Center

The UAW-Ford National Programs Center is a tall building in Hart Plaza, Downtown Detroit, Michigan. The high-rise building was constructed in 1948–1950 as the Veterans Memorial Building. It stands at in height, with 10 above-ground floors.
Architecture.
The Veterans Memorial Building was designed in the International style by the firm of Harley, Ellington and Day, which also designed the nearby 211 West Fort Street Building and the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center. The building exterior is faced with marble to conform with the master plan of the Civic Center. Windows on the east and west walls are square with a single marble frame extending the length of each floor. The narrow north wall has a high "Victory Eagle" by sculptor Marshall Fredericks carved in relief over the inscription "In honored memory of those who gave their lives for their country". Above the eagle at the roof line are 13 stars. The building was dedicated on June 11, 1950, as the Veterans Memorial Building; it housed offices for city agencies and veterans groups.
The main building area contains a 450-seat theater-style conference and a 200-seat lecture hall, both on the ground level. The rear entrance (on the Atwater Street level) also contains a lobby, and another on the second level at the Jefferson Avenue entrance. The Jefferson lobby is above the Atwater lobby.
In September 1995, the United Auto Workers and the City of Detroit reached a long-term agreement to lease the structure, after which it was remodeled to house UAW offices. The remodel included adding a large window above the eagle on the North wall. The remodel was completed on 1 October 1997.
In 2008, the structure received the Twenty-five Year Award from the Michigan Chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
This building is located between Cobo Hall and Hart Plaza. Although its address is on Jefferson Avenue, it is located several feet south of Jefferson on Civic Center Drive. To the west are seven pylons which were also carved by Marshall Fredericks, which depict the founding of Detroit and the ends of several conflicts in which the US played a part.

The prototype of Arrinera premiered on 9 June 2011 to shareholders and investors. Some journalists gave the supercar the name "Venocara", although Arrinera Automotive has never officially used that name. It featured scissor doors for both the concept car and the production car.
In August 2012 Arrinera Automotive officially announced the name Hussarya for its new model. The name is derived from Poland's Hussar cavalry of the 16th century.
Specifications.
The Arrinera Hussarya 33 will be tested with a mid-mounted General Motors-sourced supercharged 6.2-litre V8 producing . This engine based on GM's LS3 engine, and drives the rear wheels.
Special editions.
On 18 July 2012, it was announced that Arrinera would produce 33 units of a special "Series 33" version of the Hussarya, with exclusive designs on the exterior and the interior. Regular production of this and other Hussarya models appears not to have commenced.
Controversy.
In 2012 Polish radio and online journalist Jacek Balkan asserted that the vehicle was not an original supercar but a low-cost replica of a Lamborghini using parts from an Opel Corsa and an Audi A6. Arrinera sued Balkan for slander, but the journalist was acquitted.
Motorsport.
In 2017 the Hussarya was driven in qualifying for the Britcar series race at Donington Park by half-Polish professional driver, Jonny MacGregor as an invitation entry. The car qualified fourth, but an engine blow-up meant it was unable to participate in the rest of the race weekend.

Stella (scooter)

Stella (known by different names in different countries) is a model of a vintage-style motor scooter imported into the United States by Chicago-based Genuine Scooters since 2003 and manufactured by Lohia Machinery Limited in Kanpur, India.
History.
In 1986, LML began a joint venture with scooter manufacturer Piaggio, through which the Italian company sold its Vespa PX model to the Indian market. This model lacks an automatic lubrication system thus two-stroke oil must be pre-mixed with petrol. An upgraded version of this scooter was called the LML Select 2. Production of the LML NV and LML Select 2 ended in 2004. Up until 2004, Bajaj Chetak was its chief competitor in its segment ("150" cc, 2 stroke scooter) in the Indian market. The company revised production in 2007 and subsequently sold two-stroke and four-stroke models. There was another model produced by LML, called Vespa A1; unlike other vespas it features split seating. The driver's seat had a spring beneath it and another separate seat for pillion.
The Stella and Vespa P-series scooters share much of their design and engineering and many of their parts are interchangeable. Genuine Scooters was formed to import the scooter to the United States market. Production was interrupted by a labor strike from 2005 to mid-2006 but resumed once the dispute was settled.
Genuine Scooter stopped importing in June 2017 after LML hit financial trouble.
Characteristics.
The Stella features a two-stroke engine. Like "vintage" European scooters, it operates with a four-speed "twist-grip" manual transmission. Other traditional features include a steel frame, spare tire, and styling.
The 2007 and 2008 models include better quality paint, grips, and a redesigned headlight.
The two-stroke version of the scooter is authorized through Genuine Scooters dealers throughout most of the United States, but not in California due to state regulations. In 2011, Genuine developed a four-stroke version of the Stella which meets California emission standards.

Junction.
A single junction is formed at the crossing of Tughlaq road, land on this road is worth 500 Crore (roughly $80 million) per acre.
2014 Renaming.
Dr APJ Abdul Kalam road was earlier called "Aurangzeb road", named so by the British after the controversial Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb. In November 2014, Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee petitioned the Prime Minister of India to change the name of Aurangzeb road after Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Sikh guru, as a tribute to him on his martyrdom anniversary observed on 24 November. Guru Tegh Bahadur was executed in Delhi on the orders of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, who was infamous for his religious oppression. Canadian writer and activist of Pakistani origin, Tarek Fatah, suggested renaming Aurangzeb Road to "Dara Shikoh road", after Dara Shikoh, the brother of Aurangzeb, who was executed by the latter.
"Aurangzeb road" was renamed to "Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Road" by NDMC on request of Maheish Girri (BJP Member of the India Parliament for East Delhi) on 29 August 2015.
"As a tribute to the People's President, I propose to rename the 'Aurangzeb Road' in New Delhi to 'Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Road'. In my opinion, this will be a great way of preserving his memories and legacy forever," wrote Maheish Girri for changing the name of the Road.
The Renaming of "Aurangzeb road" to "Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Road" also got criticism from various sections of historians and politicians, such as Sharad Yadav of Janata Dal (United), Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati, Tariq Anwar of Nationalist Congress Party and Asaduddin Owaisi of AIMIM.

Ford Raptor

Ford Raptor is a nameplate used by Ford Motor Company on "high-performance" pickup trucks. In use since the 2010 model year, the Raptor is the highest-performance version of the Ford F-150 and Ford Ranger. Drawing its name from both birds of prey and the velociraptor, the model line is intended as a street-legal counterpart of an off-road racing trophy truck. The F-150 Raptor is currently in its second generation; the Ranger Raptor was introduced in 2019 (in markets outside of North America).
Optimized for off-road use, the Raptor is fitted with four-wheel drive as standard equipment, a mid-travel suspension system, and all-terrain tires. The model is also equipped with the most powerful engines available in the F-150/Ranger lines. Along with wider fenders, the Raptor is fitted with its own grille, replacing the Ford Blue Oval emblem with large "FORD" lettering in the grille.
First generation (F-150; 2010-2014).
For the 2010 model year, Ford SVT introduced the SVT Raptor, its second vehicle derived from the Ford F-150. In notable contrast to the on-road capability of the 1993-2004 SVT Lightning, the SVT Raptor was optimized for off-road performance, similar to a desert racing vehicle.
The first production Raptor, molten orange with the digital mud graphic, sold at auction for $130,000 with all proceeds above the MSRP going to charity. The race version, the F-150 SVT Raptor R, was built for the Baja 1000 races. It uses a 6.2 L V8 engine rated at .
Chassis upgrades.
SVT fitted the Raptor with Fox Racing internal bypass shocks with external reservoirs, allowing for 11.2 inches of front suspension travel, and 12.1 inches in the rear. To accommodate the long-travel suspension design, the rear leaf springs and the front upper and lower A-arms were redesigned, with SVT widening the track by seven inches and raising the ride height by two inches.
The rear axle had a locking differential with a 4.10:1 gear ratio, with an open-differential front axle. For 2012, the open front axle was replaced by a Torsen helical gear limited slip differential. In place of the all-season tires of the F-150, the Raptor was fitted with 315/70/17" BFGoodrich KO tire.
Towing capacity is up to with a payload (SuperCrew only).
Powertrain.
For 2010, the standard engine was a 5.4L V8 with 310 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque, while an optional 6.2L V8 (shared with the Super Duty) churned out 411 hp and 434 lb-ft. Both engines were paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. For 2011, the 5.4L engine was dropped from the F-Series, leaving the 6.2L V8 as the only engine offering.
Driving technology.
Alongside other versions of the F-Series, the SVT Raptor was equipped with anti-locking braking (ABS), stability control (AdvanceTrac with RSC), and traction control. To optimize its capability as both an off-road and on-road vehicle, the SVT Raptor included several design features to maximize traction and control. The first Ford with hill descent control, the SVT Raptor was designed to use ABS to minimize driver modulation of the brakes (to increase control of the steering). In off-road settings, the Raptor can be driven in sport mode (traction control off) and "full off-road" mode (no electronic intervention except ABS; throttle and ABS reprogrammed for low traction).
Body design.
Coinciding with the widened track and upgraded suspension, the SVT Raptor received several changes to its exterior. Sharing only its headlamps with the F-150, the SVT Raptor is fitted with a model-specific front fascia, with a composite hood, wider fenders (at 86.3 inches wide, the Raptor was fitted with grille-mounted clearance lamps). To distinguish the Raptor from the F-150, the Ford Blue Oval was replaced by "FORD" lettering in the grille. Though not using the Flareside configuration, the cargo bed was redesigned to accommodate the wider rear track and tires; to shorten its wheelbase and maximize its breakover angle, a 5.5-foot bed was used.
For 2010, the SVT Raptor was offered solely as a 2+2 door SuperCab (a regular cab Raptor was never developed) and was offered in four colors: Tuxedo Black, Oxford White, Blue Flame, and Molten Orange. As an option, Ford offered a "digital mud" vinyl decal for the rear sides of the vehicle. For 2011, a four-door SuperCrew cab configuration was introduced, alongside a fifth color: Ingot Silver.
Largely equipped between the F-150 XLT and Lariat, the SVT Raptor is fitted with several interior features specific to the model line, serving as functional upgrades. Alongside high-bolstered seats, an orange stripe was added to the leather wrap of the steering wheel (serving as a visual centering reference). In line with the Super Duty, the SVT Raptor was prewired for aftermarket equipment.
Second generation (F-150; 2017-2020).
Following the 2014 introduction of the thirteenth-generation F-Series, the Raptor model line went on a two-year hiatus. Unveiled as a pre-production vehicle in January 2015 at the 2015 Detroit International Auto Show, the second generation of the Raptor was released in early 2017 for the 2017 model year, dropping the SVT prefix. As with its predecessor, the second-generation Raptor is a pickup truck derived from the F-150, optimized for off-road capability.
As with the standard F-150, the Raptor is an aluminum-intensive vehicle, using steel primarily for the frame rails; compared to the SVT Raptor, curb weight was reduced by over 500 pounds.
Chassis specifications.
As with the previous generation, the Raptor retained Fox Racing internal-bypass shocks with external reservoirs. With larger shocks (3 inches, from 2.5), wheel travel increased to 13 inches for the front axle (13.9 for the rear). An all-new transfer case was introduced; a torque-on-demand system, the design combined the on-demand capability of all-wheel drive with the durability of four-wheel drive. With a widened track over the F-150, the Raptor again used a leaf-sprung rear axle and upper and lower A-arms for the front axle. For 2019, the Fox Racing shocks were updated with "Live Valve" capability, automatically adjusting for the terrain.
As before, 35-inch all-terrain tires were fitted to 17-inch wheels; as a rare option for a mass-produced vehicle, Ford offered beadlock wheels to prevent tire bead separation from the wheel at low pressures.
Powertrain.
In a significant departure from its predecessor, the second-generation Raptor was not offered with a V8 engine, instead using a second-generation 3.5L EcoBoost gasoline V6. A detuned version of the engine used in the Ford GT, the 450 hp twin-turbocharged engine and 510 lbs ft-torque, is also shared with the Lincoln Navigator. The 2017 Raptor marked the debut of the 10-speed 10R80 automatic transmission, the first non-commercial vehicle fitted with a 10-speed transmission (of any type).
Body design.
As with the standard F-150, much of the body of the Raptor is constructed of aluminum, using a composite hood. In line with the previous generation, "FORD" grille replaced the Ford Blue Oval emblem, with clearance lights mounted in the grille and front fenders (mandated due to its width). Sharing its 5.5-foot length with the SuperCrew, the pickup bed design is specific to the Raptor.
Alongside the previous generation, the Raptor is offered in both SuperCab and SuperCrew configurations. The "digital mud" decal option was replaced by a large black decal on the pickup bed, denoting the Raptor name; as an additional option, a black "FORD" tailgate decal is offered.
Third generation (F-150; 2021-present).
Ford introduced the third generation F-150 Raptor in February 2021; the new base model retaines the same 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine as its predecessor. For the first time ever on a production light-duty truck, the 2021 Ford Raptor will offer 37” tires from the factory. Much to the excitement of enthusiasts, Ford also confirmed the return of a V8 powered Raptor. Likely called the Raptor R, this higher performance model will “likely [use] a detuned version of the Predator V-8 that powers the 760-hp Mustang Shelby GT500” to compete against the new Ram 1500 TRX.
Ford Ranger Raptor (2019-present).
For the 2019 model year, Ford introduced the Ford Ranger Raptor, derived from the global Ranger T6 mid-size pickup truck. Slotted above the Wildtrak appearance package, the Raptor is fitted with suspension and chassis upgrades to improve its off-road capability. In line with its F-150 namesake, the Raptor is fitted with a widened track and a raised ride height.
The Ranger Raptor is fitted with a 2.0L EcoBlue biturbo diesel engine, producing 210 hp. Shared with globally-marketed versions of the Ford Transit and the Ford Everest, the engine is coupled to a 10-speed automatic transmission (shared with the F-150, including the Raptor). Similar to F-150 Raptor, the four-wheel drive system of the Ranger Raptor is adaptable to terrain.
While not wide enough to require clearance lights, the Ranger Raptor adopts several design elements of its F-150 counterpart, including gray six-spoke wheels, a FORD-lettered grille, and large Raptor decals on the sides of the cargo bed.
North American exclusion.
In October 2018, Ford confirmed that the Ranger Raptor will not be marketed in the United States. While the marketing of the model would have offered Ford a direct competitor to the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2, Ford has cited the risk of model overlap with the larger F-150 Raptor (a model whose demand exceeds supply). A secondary factor is the powertrain design: as the 2.0L EcoBlue diesel engine (not yet approved for US emissions standards) offers similar output to the regular Rangers 2.3L EcoBoost gasoline engine; a redesign to include a more powerful engine was cited as too costly.
While unlikely to be sold in North America in its current generation, as a mid-size truck, the Ranger Raptor is sold in markets where the F-Series based Raptor is unlikely to be widely marketed because of its larger size.


Palermo Ring Railway

The Palermo Rail Ring is a railway line under construction in Sicily, Italy. It is expected to open in 2021 or 2022 and will extend from Palermo Notarbartolo railway station to Giachery station.
History.
The two main aims of the project are to improve commuter traffic in and around Palermo and also to reduce urban congestion in the city. Another objective is to improve the sustainable mobility of the area. During the construction period, about 750 new jobs are expected to be created.
Route.
The eventual planned route is to be an underground circular single track railway with a length of about 6.5 km, and is due for completion in 2018.
Stations.
New underground stations on the line are as follows:
Future.
The long term plan for the railway is for the ring to be extended south to Termini Imerese, and a railway bypass will be built at Palermo Centrale. Rail transport services on this section that connects Palermo Centrale to the Airport, will take place every 15 minutes compared to the present frequency of 30 minutes.


Wonhyo Bridge

The Wonhyo Bridge crosses the Han River in South Korea and connects the districts of Yongsan-gu and Yeongdeungpo-gu. The bridge was completed in 1981. It was the 13th to be built on the Han River.
Toll Fees.
Toll fees were collected from December 10, 1981, but the flow of traffic was rather low, as vehicles avoided crossing the bridge due to the imposition of the toll fees. In fact, the toll fees collected were barely adequate to supply power for the street lamps, and on February 1, 1983, Dongah Construction donated the bridge to Seoul Metropolitan City. After the ownership rights were donated, the toll gates were removed.
Film Appearances.
Wonhyo Bridge was selected as the set for a fighting scene included in the 2006 Korean film The Host directed by Bong Joon-ho. In the movie, Wonhyo Bridge was where the creature was hiding, and where the daughter of the main character was kidnapped. The reason for selecting this location was that it fit well with the film's concept of a sewer under a bridge, and the external appearance of Wonhyo Bridge is more dynamic than other bridges, and this added tension.

National Railway Chiba Motive Power Union

 is a Japanese trade union, which is usually referred to as . It has also been referred to as the Chiba Motormen's Union in English. It split from the National Railway Motive Power Union (Doro) in 1979.
History.
Doro founding.
Doro split from the National Railway Workers' Union (Kokuro) in 1951, and was considered to be more left-leaning. It was a major union, along with Kokuro, representing workers who worked for Japanese National Railways (JNR).
Doro-Chiba split from Doro.
In 1979, the Chiba Prefecture chapter of Doro split off to form an independent union, which became known as Doro-Chiba. It split off after its executive committee members had been expelled from Doro because of their support for Sanrizuka-Shibayama Union to Oppose the Airport.
November 28, 1985 strike.
As of 1985, the union had 1,100 members, and on November 28, 1985, it staged a strike to protest against the plans of the Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone's government to privatize JNR and lay off workers. The government strongly condemned the strike, as government workers in Japan are forbidden to strike. In addition there were a number of acts of sabotage and vandalism that stranded 10 million commuters in Tokyo and 200,000 in Osaka. The 24-hour strike caused 135 trains between Tokyo and Chiba prefecture to be cancelled, and JNR's management decided to fire more than 100 workers for staging the illegal walkout.
Middle Core Faction November 28, 1985 sabotage.
In addition to the Doro-Chiba strike, a substantial amount of sabotage was done by the then-1,300 member strong radical leftist group Middle Core Faction, who claimed responsibility and said their actions were to support Doro-Chiba's strike. Communications lines were cut, fires were set at 27 locations in seven prefectures, and heavy damage was done to Asakusabashi Station in Tokyo around 7 a.m. by masked figures wearing helmets and throwing firebombs. No injuries were reported. Police raided offices of the Middle Core Faction and Doro-Chiba, and damage to bullet trail lines near Hiroshima that delayed trains between Tokyo and Kyushu appeared to have been caused by a time bomb and by noon 48 people were arrested, including leaders of the Middle Core Faction. Representatives of the larger Kokuro and Doro unions representing JNR workers condemned the "anti-social" attacks and apologized to commuters. According to sources inside the labor movement, Doro-Chiba was controlled by the Middle Core Faction.
Doro-Chiba Union Chairman Hiroshi Nakano later issued a statement saying that: "The attacks have nothing to do with the union." Of the 48 suspects arrested, 46 were from the Middle Core Faction and two were from the National Railway Workers' Union. Two of the suspects were later released.
Doro-Chiba rejection of JNR settlement.
After JNR was privatized in 1987, 1,047 workers were laid off. Unions including Kokuro, Zendoro, and Doro-Chiba waged a two-decade struggle for reinstatement of the workers. A ¥20 billion settlement was eventually paid in 2010 to 904 plaintiffs, but without the workers being reinstated.
Doro-Chiba had nine members who were not employed by JR after the privatization in 1987 and the union refused to accept the 2010 settlement. It vowed to continue the struggle against the dismissals and against the privatization of JNR.

M-87 Orkan

The M-87 Orkan is a Yugoslavia fully automated self-propelled multiple rocket launcher. The generic M-87 project was configured with 12 launch tubes mounted on a FAP 2832 truck. It has a range of about 50 to 120 km, with the ability to deliver warheads, anti-tank and anti-personnel mines. The production of Orkan M-87 ceased in the early 1990s due to break-up of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
History.
Development started as a joint SFRY and Iraqi project under the name of KOL-15 with professor Obrad Vučurović as concept designer and chief engineer on project. In early talks with Iraq, Yugoslavia offered two options:
Iraq chose the first option as did Yugoslavia.
At the start of development two prototypes were built: one for Yugoslavia and one for Iraq. In accordance with requests from purchasers rockets were developed with cluster warheads.
According to the chief operating officer of the Artillery department of Military Technical Institute Belgrade Professor Obrad Vučurović, Orkan was never a copy of any previous designs. The Yugoslav doctrine when developing the system was based on the premise that countries who copy designs are at least five years behind those who have the weapons developed.
Characteristics.
One battery of M-87 Orkans consist of:
The FAP 2832 vehicle with its base platform is fitted with a central tyre pressure regulation system which is operated by the driver from within the cab, and to provide a more stable firing platform four stabilisers are lowered to the ground by remote control one at either side to the rear of the second roadwheel and two at the very rear. When travelling, the launcher is traversed to the front and the whole launcher is covered by a tarpaulin cover with integral bows.
Rockets.
The rocket is 4.6 metres long and it is packed in a glass-ceramic housing and transported by the vehicle. Rockets are re-loaded by the FAP 3232 with a built-in crane.
The rocket speed is 1000 m/s. Rockets with extended range are 4.88 m long and weigh 404 kg. A battery of 4 launchers with 16 barrels and 192 rockets can cover a target area of 3–4 km².
The following types of rockets are known:
Some of the rockets are no longer in production.
Features.
Unique features at the time of introduction (1987) when compared to other MRLs operational at the time include:
According to Obrad Vučurović, Orkan's main feature was the ability to disperse anti-tank or anti-personnel mines from 5 to 50 km from the firing location.
Modifications and versions.
There were a few modifications of Orkan M-87:
Origins of TOROS artillery rocket system.
In 1990s Turkey faced USA reluctance to share modern defense technology. In order to have domestic supply of multiple rocket launcher rockets and domestic launchers Turkey used reverse engineering and shortcuts in order to develop its own versions. In order to have a supply of 227mm rockets they reverse engineered M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System M26 rocket under project designation SAGE 227. For continuing work on development of domestic MRLS Turkey obtained Orkan M-87 documentation, launcher and rockets from Bosnia and Herzegovina Novi Travnik "Bratstvo" factory in 1995. They used them for development of a domestic 260mm rockets and launcher thus shortening development for more than 5 years. First launches of new 230 and 260mm rockets respectively based on 227 M26 and 262 Orkan rockets produced in Turkey from Orkan M-87 launcher were conducted in April 1999.
Operational history.
Republic of Serbian Krajina used M-87 Orkan to retaliate after Croatian forces attacked United Nations Protected Areas where Serbs lived.

Wiktor Eckhaus

Wiktor Eckhaus (28 June 1930 – 1 October 2000) was a Polish–Dutch mathematician, known for his work on the field of differential equations. He was Professor Emeritus of Applied Mathematics at the Utrecht University.
Biography.
Eckhaus was born into a wealthy family, and raised in Warsaw where his father was managing a fur company. During the German occupation of Poland, he, his mother and sister had to hide because of their Jewish descent. His father, after being a prisoner of war, joined the Russian Army. After the war, in 1947, the re-united family came to Amsterdam – via a refugee camp in Austria.
Wiktor passed the state exam of the Hogere Burgerschool in 1948, and started to study aeronautics at the Delft University of Technology. Following his graduation he worked with the National Aerospace Laboratory in Amsterdam, from 1953 till 1957. In the period 1957–1960 he worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where Eckhaus earned a PhD in 1959 under Leon Trilling on a dissertation entitled "Some problems of unsteady flow with discontinuities".
In 1960, he became a "maître de recherches" (senior research fellow) at the Department of Mechanics of the Sorbonne. In 1964 he was a visiting professor at the University of Amsterdam and the Mathematical Centre. Thereafter, in 1965, he became professor at the Delft University of Technology, in pure and applied mathematics and mechanics. From 1972 until his retirement in 1994, Eckhaus was professor of applied mathematics at the Utrecht University.
Initially he studied the flow around airfoils, leading to his research on the stability of solutions to (weakly nonlinear) differential equations. This resulted in what is now known as the "Eckhaus instability criterion" and "Eckhaus instability", appearing for instance as a secondary instability in models of Rayleigh–Bénard convection. Later, Eckhaus worked on singular perturbation theory and soliton equations.
In 1983 he treated strongly singular relaxation oscillations – called "canards" (French for "ducks") – resulting in his most-read paper "Relaxation oscillations including a standard chase on French ducks". Eckhaus used standard methods of analysis, on a problem qualified before, by Marc Diener, as an example of a problem only treatable through the use of non-standard analysis.
He became a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1987.
