Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority, (ZESA) whose official name is ZESA Holdings (Private) Limited, is a state-owned company whose task is to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity  in Zimbabwe. It has organized this task by delegation to its subsidiaries, the energy generating company Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) and the Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC). Other subsidiaries are the investment branch ZESA Enterprises (ZENT) and internet provider PowerTel Communications (Private) Limited. ZESA is the only electricity generator and supplier for the public grid. For many years the company has failed to produce enough energy to meet demands. ZESA produced an estimated 6.8 billion kWh in 2016, while demand was estimated at 7.118 billion kWh. ZESA represents Zimbabwe in the Southern African Power Pool.

Current situation
In general the power generation capacity in Zimbabwe is too small to meet demand from the industry and private householdings. Import of electricity from surrounding countries has eased the situation somewhat, but load shedding is used on a routine basis and some rural areas do not have electricity over long periods. Zimbabwe's difficult economic situation causes part of the problems, as coal for power stations may at times not be produced in sufficient amounts. On the other hand, the economy is hampered by the unforeseeable energy situation. Recently the revival of the economy has increased demand.

Situation for the power stations
ZESA owns the Kariba Power Station together with its Zambian counterpart, ZESCO. The station is part of the Kariba Dam project, damming the Zambezi river. The Zimbabwean-owned capacity is said to be around 750 megawatts. ZESA also owns four thermal power stations, of which Hwange Thermal Power Station in the extreme west of the country is by far the largest with a theoretical capacity of about 920 megawatts. The other three at Harare, Bulawayo and Munyati have a nominal capacity of 270 megawatts combined. In the 2010s, the thermal power stations have only been producing small amounts or no electricity due to coal shortages and maintenance neglect. Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) and Namibia's NamPower have in 2009 made agreements to help ZESA to revive the capacity in exchange for power deliveries. Work on Hwange has led to a better situation and the three minor stations were scheduled to be revived in the first quarter of 2011. In December 2015 China agreed to provide a $1.2 billion loan to add 600 megawatts of generating capacity to the Hwange Thermal Power Station. ZESA officially files a law suit against Learned Hand Initiatives...for threatening its monopoly powers its says its quotes and books are now the major power stations ahead of Kariba and Hwange which is a big threat to the state owned enterprise...

John Horgan (1876 – 27 June 1955) was an Irish politician from Cork who had a very brief career as a parliamentary representative in the Irish Free State. He served for three months as a Teachta Dála (TD) for the National League Party, a short-lived party which advocated closer ties with the United Kingdom. He was a member of the Cork Corporation, served a term as Lord Mayor of Cork.

He was born in Limerick, the son of a County Cork ironmonger, and master plumber.

He was elected at the June 1927 general election as a TD for the Cork Borough constituency, taking his seat as one of eight National League TDs in the 5th Dáil. However, the 5th Dáil was short-lived, and at the September 1927 general election Horgan and all but two of his party's TDs lost their seats. The party went bankrupt in 1928, and was formally disbanded in 1931.

Horgan subsequently joined Cumann na nGaedheal, and stood again as a Cumann na nGaedheal candidate in Cork Borough at the 1932 and 1933 general elections, but did not regain his seat.

As a member of Fine Gael, Horgan was Lord Mayor of Cork for the term from 1941 to 1942. He retired from Cork Corporation in 1949 after 25 years' membership.

He died at his residence, at 2, The Orchards, Glasheen Road, Cork, on 27 June 1955 aged 79. and is buried at St. Finbarr's Cemetery. His grandson, Seán O'Leary, served as Lord Mayor of Cork from 1972 to 1973.

Vlodrop-station (Limburgish and town dialect: Vlórp-Statie) is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Limburg. It is located on the German border, about  east of the village Vlodrop, in the municipality of Roerdalen.

The hamlet is named after the railway station of Vlodrop, which was located on the Iron Rhine connection between Antwerp, Belgium, and locations in Germany.  The location was chosen because the Belgian owners of the railway line could get free land there, and because of the proximity to the border meant that customs officers had extra powers. The station was bombed in 1944, and never rebuilt.

Option–operand separation is a principle of imperative computer programming. It was devised by Bertrand Meyer as part of his pioneering work on the Eiffel programming language.

It states that an operation's arguments should contain only operands — understood as information necessary to its operation — and not options — understood as auxiliary information. Options are supposed to
be set in separate operations.

The motivations for this are:
 Ease of learning: Beginners do not have to concern themselves with setting options.
 Wide spectrum coverage:  Experts can still set options using the auxiliary operations.
 Evolution. Options are more likely to change than operands, so the parameter list to the operation remains more stable.

Lava pillars are common within collapsed sheet flow terrain. Lava pillars are hollow inside forming a pipe-like channel between the bottom and the top of a lava flow. They sometimes coalesce to form walls or can be attached to other pillars by natural bridges.

Lava pillars originate as gaps between lava lobes as a lava flow initially advances. Water that is trapped beneath the flow is heated and channeled upward through these gaps. This cold water promotes rapid growth of the lava crust around the gaps.  Then during flow inflation the hollow pillars continue to act as escape-routes for seawater trapped beneath the lava flow, and so the gaps between lobes grow upwards into pipe-like pillars. The height of the lava pillars is a measure of the maximum thickness the lava flow attained. After lava inflation ends and the eruption wanes, the molten interior of the sheet flow typically subsides leaving a series of "bathtub rings" along the sides of the pillars. These rings are formed as the crust on the subsiding lava repeatedly adheres to and then breaks off from the pillar's sides.

Lava pillars may continue to act as fluid conduits for years after an eruption. In uncollapsed lobate terrain, diffuse hydrothermal venting is typically focused in the depressions within the lobate lavas, which are probably underlain by pillars. Circ Vent is one example of this vent style, and is but one of dozens of similar vents within the same lobate terrain near the eastern edge of the flow from the Axial Seamount eruption in January 1998. Lava pillars exposed within collapse areas are visible in the Rumble and Marker 33 areas.

Conty () is a commune in the Somme department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.

Origin of the name
Conty comes from cond (confluence) (of the rivers and streams in the valley). The Princes of Conti, a minor branch of French royalty, took their name from Conty.

Geography
The commune comprises the village Conty and two hamlets: Luzières and Wailly (since 1973).
Situated on the D920 road, some  southwest of Amiens. Junction 17 of the A16 autoroute is just  away.

Nestling by the banks of the river Selle (a tributary of the Somme) that, at Conty, comprises several small branches that converge here.

Economic and tourist activities
 The Ateliers du Val de Selle, created in 1970, is a centre for those artisans involved with horses, riding and carriage-driving.
 The SIC (Société industrielle de Conty), created in 1928, specialises in non-ferrous foundry work,
 The Selle sawmills.
 The Coulée verte, a public right-of-way, is used by ramblers, cyclists and riders alike. For over 10 miles, it follows part of an old railway line between Beauvais and Amiens, which closed in 1979.
 The Cabinet du Dr Dutilloy, a classic example of 20th-century French medical architecture, is worth visiting. Guided tours on request.

Population

History

The river, the woods and the promontory, which dominates the valley, were the contributing factors for populating the area. Recent quarrying has exposed evidence of prehistoric life in the district, in the shape of bones and tools.
Conty is on the old Roman road to Beauvais. Gallo-Roman remains have been found, in the form of burial sites.
In the 10th century, the Norman feudal system was in place at Conty. The first ‘seigneur’ Oger de Conty, is mentioned in 1044.
During the Middle Ages, the wars between France and its neighbours affect Conty as it did many northern French towns
In 1589, the castle was taken by the  Catholic League  of Amiens.
Fires burned the village down several times, in 1691, 1709, 1734, 1809, 1812, 1825 and 1827
In 1758, melting snow created a major flood throughout the town.
In 1790, because of rioting, the National guard were called to the town to restore order.
1832 and cholera breaks out. The marshy nature of the ground is blamed for the epidemic.
Around 1850, the new market hall was built, replacing an old wooden structure. Constructed of  brick and roofed with slate by the architect Firmin Lombard. It was not just a market, but the council chamber, Mayor’s office and a court.

In 1907, Battersby Hats, a hat manufacturer of Stockport, England, bought a second factory in Conty, and it was managed by William John Battersby's son, Ernest.

1876 saw the coming of the railway to the town. By 1939, it was closed to all but freight traffic
and it shut down completely in 1979.

Places of interest
The castle
The first castle, built after the rampages of Attila the Hun around 450, was later laid waste by the Normans. Colart de Mailly rebuilt it in 1430. It was seized on 23 October 1589 by the Catholic League from Amiens, who decided to pull it down. Conty’s inhabitants refused to participate in the demolition. Jehan de Morlencourt and a Captain Saint-Jean were charged with the mission by the council of Amiens. It took eight days hard work to complete the task.
All that's apparent nowadays is a mound with a notice board with ‘motte féodale’ on it.

Church of Saint-Antoine

Dating from the 15th and 16th century, the stone church is in the Flamboyant Gothic style. The plan is the shape of a cross, about 30 meters long by 21 metres wide. The magnificent square tower is 33 metres high. The hanging sculptures in the vaulting and the gargoyles on the tower are deemed worthy of a look. The coat of arms of the Conti family, who were ‘seigneurs’ of Conty, can be seen in the left transept. Some 18th-century wooden statues decorate the area around the altar.

Chateau of Wailly
In the town, at the end of a grand avenue, is to be found the remains, in brick and stone, of the old château of Wailly. Built in Louis XIII style, in a semi-circular design. Very few archives exist relating the history of the construction of the château. Building began about 1640 and continued to 1690. Around 1785, a new building was constructed next to the ruins of the old one. In September 1944, Bernard Montgomery established his general headquarters here.

Chateau of Luzières

The château de Luzières is found in the hamlet of Luzières, to the south of Conty, in the small valley leading to Belleuse. It was built in the years 1770-1793. In the grounds, surrounded by water, are some older dependencies, from around 1715.

The château, of neoclassical design, is built of torching, on foundations of limestone, with brick pinioning, typical of the buildings of Picardy.

Annual events

Conty is a horse town. Carriage-driving championships are held here every year. In 2009, the heavy horse world championships will be held here.

Bhai Lalo was born in 1452 at the village of Saidpur presently known as Eminabad in Pakistan. His father's name was Bhai Jagat Ram Ghataura (ਤਰਖਾਣ)of the Ghataura surname pertaining to the carpenter clan.

Bhai Lalo was known for his name in Sikh historic incident with first guru of sikhs Guru Nanak. One day Malik Bhago, a high government official of the city, gave a general feast. He invited Guru Nanak Dev Ji too. Guru ji declined the invitation of Bhago. On being asked a second time, Guru Nanak Dev Ji took Bhai Lalo with him and went to Malik Bhago's house. He is honest man and Guru Nanak Dev Ji praised him

Guru Nanak Dev Ji took Bhai Lalo's dry chapati in his right hand and Malik Bhago's fried sweet pancake in his left hand. When he squeezed the right hand the people present there saw drops of milk dripping from it. And when he pressed the left hand with the Malik Bhago's fried pancakes, everyone saw blood trickling from it.

Malik Bhago was silent on seeing all this. Bhai Lalo on the other hand was the symbol of honesty and hardwork. So according to Guru Nanak Dev Ji, it's better to earn little money with honesty than to amass a huge wealth by devious and crooked means.

The DAR 4 was a prototype airliner built in Bulgaria in 1930.

Design and development
The DAR 4 was a conventional biplane design, with unstaggered wings of unequal span braced with Warren trusses. The fuselage offered fully enclosed accommodation for the two pilots and four passengers. A curious feature of the design was that the top wing was not attached directly to the top of the fuselage as is common in cabin biplanes, but was mounted above it with cabane struts. Power was provided by three radial engines; one in the nose, and one mounted on each lower wing where the struts met. Performance was disappointing, and in particular, the narrow track of the undercarriage created difficulties. After the single prototype, no further examples were built.

Félix Balyu (5 August 1891–15 January 1971) was a Belgian association football player who played for Club Brugge and the Belgium national football team.

International career
Balyu was named to the Belgium squad for the 1920 Olympic Football Tournament, which Belgium hosted. He made his sole appearance for his country in Belgium's first match, a 3–1 second-round victory over Spain. Balyu played poorly and would not see the pitch for the remainder of the tournament. Although Balyu did not play for Belgium again, he collected a gold medal as Belgium defeated Netherlands in the semifinals and Czechoslovakia in a controversial final match.

is a Buddhist temple of the Rinzai Tenryū sect located in Kita Ward, Kyoto, Japan, and one of two funeral temples (bodaiji) dedicated to Ashikaga Takauji, first shōgun of the Ashikaga dynasty. Its main object of worship is Shakyamuni, and its honorary sangō prefix is .

History

Tōji-in was founded at the foot of Mount Kinugasa in 1341 by Takauji himself in fulfillment of a vow. He did so under the guidance of famous Zen teacher, calligraphist, poet and garden designer Musō Soseki, who created the Zen gardens and ponds of the temple. Tōji-in later became the Ashikaga dynasty's funeral temple and all fifteen of the Ashikaga shōguns are buried here. The temple's name was later chosen as one of Takauji's two posthumous names, . (The other is Chōju-inden, from the name of Takauji's second bodaiji. See footnote.) Tōji-in was number one of the Kyoto Jissetsu, the temples immediately below the Kyoto Gozan within the Five Mountain System nationwide network of Zen temples.

Because of its association with the Ashikaga, believed by the Emperor's supporters to be traitors because they had usurped imperial power, during the Meiji restoration the temple sustained some damage. In recent years the temple has been restored to increase its appeal as a tourist attraction.

Temple precincts and gardens
The Main Hall (hondō) was originally a tacchū (subtemple) of Myōshin-ji built in 1616 by order of samurai Fukushima Masanori. The garden, the ponds, and the  tearoom were designed by Musō Soseki. Tōji-in's treasure owns a drawing of the temple which is an Important Cultural Property.

The Reikō-den
 Tokugawa Ieyasu and all the fifteen Ashikaga shōguns are enshrined in a small building called . The sixteen statues, which are of limited artistic value, are lined up in two rows on the sides of the room, each sitting and carrying a shaku symbolizing their shogunal power. Their sculptors are unknown, but they have been tentatively dated to the early seventeenth century. The presence among the Ashikaga shōguns of a statue of Tokugawa Ieyasu, founder of the Tokugawa shogunate, suggests that Tokugawa wished to link himself to the Ashikaga clan and give an impression of continuity between the two dynasties. Like them, Ieyasu claimed to be a descendant of the Minamoto clan.

In 1863 nine men broke into the Reikō-den and stole the heads of the first three Ashikaga shōguns, Takauji, Yoshiakira and Yoshimitsu, as a form of revenge for their role in usurping the emperor's power during the Nanbokuchō period. The severed heads were then exposed on the banks of the Kamo river together with placards listing their crimes against the nation.

Aronia  × prunifolia, called the purple chokeberry, is a North American hybrid shrub of Aronia arbutifolia × Aronia melanocarpa in the rose family. It is native to eastern Canada and to the eastern and central United States, from Nova Scotia west to Ontario and Wisconsin, south as far as western South Carolina with an isolated population reported in southern Alabama.

Some authors consider this to be a hybrid rather than a full-fledged species but it does grow in places where neither parent is present (most of Michigan for example). This independence merits acceptance as a full species. This sort of thing is not unusual; many species of plants originated as hybrids.

Aronia  × prunifolia is a branching shrub forming clumps by means of stems forming from the roots. Flowers are white or pink, producing purple fruits. The fruits are very astringent - widely considered unpalatable - when raw, but can be used to make jams and jellies. The common name "Chokeberry" refers to the phenomenon that tasting the raw fruits can cause choking.

Loftus, previously Lofthouse, was a railway station on the Whitby, Redcar and Middlesbrough Union Railway. It was opened on 1 April 1875 as the terminus of a line from Saltburn, and served the town of Loftus. When the line to Whitby was opened on 3 December 1883, it became a through station with two platforms and a goods yard consisting of three sidings. It closed to passenger traffic on 2 May 1960 and goods traffic on 12 August 1963; the tracks through the station were lifted in 1964.

Though a single track was relaid from Skinningrove by 1 April 1974 to allow freight trains to reach Boulby Mine, the station remains closed, and most buildings have been demolished. The stationmaster's house is now a private residence, the large brick-build goods shed also remains standing.

The Carbon Principles are a series of guidelines established by three leading Wall Street banks—Citigroup Inc., JP Morgan Chase, and Morgan Stanley—to assess the risks in financing electric power projects in terms of climate change. These principles call for "enhanced diligence" in evaluating electric power industry borrowers in terms of their use of energy efficiency; renewable and low-carbon distributed energy technologies; and conventional and advanced generating technologies. These guidelines were announced in February 2008 to address the increasing public concern over the plans to create over one hundred coal power plants in the United States.

The Climate Principles are of a similar framework for the climate change practice of the financial sector. This is a comprehensive industry framework for a response to climate change and has been adopted by Crédit Agricole, Munich Re, Standard Chartered, Swiss Re and HSBC.
The Carbon Principles are a development of consultation with the U.S. electricity utilities sector.

The Diocese of Diano (Teggiano)–Policastro (), is a Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church in Campania, has existed since 1850, under its present name since 1986. In that year the Diocese of Diano (Teggiano) was united with the diocese of Policastro.

The diocese is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Salerno-Campagna-Acerno. Its cathedral is the Cattedrale di S. Maria Maggiore e S. Michele Arcangelo, in Teggiano. The current bishop is Antonio De Luca.

History
The diocese of Capaccio (Caputaquensis), as it had grown over the centuries, had become extremely large in geographical extent, and, as the population grew as well, it became much more difficult to administer. In 1848, the inhabitants numbered some 182,000. Discussions on dividing the diocese had already begun in the reign of Pope Gregory XVI, division of assets and relocation of facilities being of prime consideration. Progress was interrupted by the revolutions of 1848, and the deposition of the pope and creation of the Roman Republic. In addition, Bishop Gregorio Fistilli had resigned on 26 September 1848, leaving the diocese of Capaccio without a bishop from 1848 to 1853.

On 21 September 1850, at the request of Archbishop Marino Paglia of Salerno and of king Ferdinand II of the Two Sicilies, in the bull entitled "Ex quo imperscrutabili", Pope Pius IX established the Diocese of Diano. The seat of the bishop was placed at Diano. To constitute the diocese, twenty-eight territories ("paese") were removed from the diocese of Capaccio, one from the diocese of Salerno, and one from the diocese of Cava. Thenceforth the two sees were to be known as Capaccio and Diano. The metropolitan was the Archdiocese of Salerno, as it had been for the diocese of Capaccio.

It was specified that the King of the Two Sicilies had the right of presentation (nomination) of the bishop of the diocese.

The church of S. Maria Maggiore in Diano was designated the new cathedral of the diocese, and it was appointed a Chapter, consisting of four dignities (the Archdeacon, the Dean, the Archpriest, and the Cantor) and fourteen canons, including a Canon Theologus and a Canon Penitentiarius.

The first bishop of Diano, Valentino Vignone, was nominated by the king on 16 November 1850, and confirmed by Pope Pius IX on 17 February 1851. In 1882, the city of Diano received the name of Teggiano, and the diocese came to be called informally the diocese of Teggiano.

The diocesan seminary of Capaccio had been located in Diano, and it became the seminary of the diocese of Diano. There was also an episcopal palace belonging to the bishop of Capaccio, which now belonged to the bishop of Diano.  Appeal had to be made to the King of the Two Sicilies to help pay for the restoration and  refurbishing of the two edifices.

The vacancy in the diocese of Capaccio was not filled until 1855. The king nominated Francesco Giampaolo on 6 March 1855, and Pope Pius IX confirmed his appointment on 23 March 1855. The diocese of Capaccio was united with the Diocese of Vallo in 1853, and the bishop now resides in Vallo.

Diocesan reorganization
The Second Vatican Council (1962–1965), in order to ensure that all Catholics received proper spiritual attention, decreed the reorganization of the diocesan structure of Italy and the consolidation of small and struggling dioceses. It also recommended the abolition of anomalous units such as exempt territorial prelatures.

On 8 September 1976, Diano-Policastro lost territory when Diocese of Tursi-Lagonegro was established.

On 18 February 1984, the Vatican and the Italian State signed a new and revised concordat. Based on the revisions, a set of Normae was issued on 15 November 1984, which was accompanied in the next year, on 3 June 1985, by enabling legislation. According to the agreement, the practice of having one bishop govern two separate dioceses at the same time, aeque personaliter, was abolished. Instead, the Vatican continued consultations which had begun under Pope John XXIII for the merging of small dioceses, especially those with personnel and financial problems, into one combined diocese. On 30 September 1986, Pope John Paul II ordered that the dioceses of Diano (Teggiano) and Policastro be merged into one diocese with one bishop, with the Latin title Dioecesis Dianensis-Policastrensis, or, in Italian Diocesi di Teggiano-Policastro. The seat of the diocese was to be in Teggiano, and the cathedral of Teggiano was to serve as the cathedral of the merged dioceses. The cathedral in Policastro was to become a co-cathedral, and the cathedral Chapters of Policastro was to be a Capitulum Concathedralis. There was to be only one diocesan Tribunal, in Teggiano, and likewise one seminary, one College of Consultors, and one Priests' Council. The territory of the new diocese was to include the territory of the former dioceses of Diano and Policastro.

Dioceses of Bussento and Policastro

Diocese of Bussento
The diocese was established before the sixth century as the Diocese of Buxentum. All of the dioceses of Lucania, except Paestum, appear to have been damaged or destroyed by the appearance of the Arian Lombards at the end of the 6th century.

Bishops of Bussento
 Rusticus (attested 501–502)
Sede vacante (592)
 Sabbazius (attested 649)

Titular sees
The title of Bishop of Bussento, though not the diocese itself, was restored in 1966 as the Titular bishopric of  Buxentum (Latin) / Buxentin(us) (Latin adjective). It is called Capo della Foresta in Italian.

Titular bishops of Buxentum (Capo della Foresta):
 Francisco Cedzich, S.V.D. (1968–1971)
 Desiderio Elso Collino (1972)
 José María Márquez Bernal, C.M.F. (1973–1977)
 Dominic J. Khumalo, O.M.I. (1978–2006)
 Joseph Karikkassery (2006–2010)
 Eugenio Andrés Lira Rugarcía (2011–2016)
 Carlos Tomás Morel Diplán (2016 – ...)

From 1970 to 1972, there existed a duplicated Latin Titular bishopric of Buxentum (Latin):
 Titular Archbishop Miho Pušić (6 June 1970–5 October 1972)

Diocese of Policastro

On 24 March 1058, Pope Stephen IX issued the bull also called "Officium Sacerdotale", in which he confirmed for the archbishops of Salerno the right of consecrating bishops for (in addition to those named by Pope Leo IX) Malvito, Policastro, Marsico, Martirano, and Caciano. The archbishops, therefore, had the right to consecrate bishops for Policastro by 1058, though there is no indication that they actually did so. The earliest bishop of Policastro of whom evidence survives is Bishop Petrus Pappacarbone (1079–1109), who is said to have been the first bishop of Policastro.

The Upper Elementary School, listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Goffstown High School, is a historic school building located at 12 Reed Street in the center of Goffstown, New Hampshire. The building was constructed in 1925 and served as the town's first purpose-built high school until the opening of the present high school on Wallace Road in 1965.  The building, renamed "Upper Elementary School", then served the town's intermediate-grade students until the opening of Mountain View Middle School.  The building has since been converted into senior housing and is now known as The Meetinghouse at Goffstown.  It was listed on the National Register in 1997.

Description and history
The former Upper Elementary School is located in the central village of Goffstown, at the junction of School and Reed Streets.  It is a three-story brick structure, laid out in a U shape with a relatively narrow opening to the north, with a flat roof.  Stylistically it is a simplified version of the Collegiate Gothic, with windows set in openings that have stone sills and lintels, sometimes set in groups.  The main entrance is in a south-facing projecting section, with a three-bay opening now housing only a single entrance in the center bay.  The outside of the frame has stone quoining, and each bay is topped by a shouldered stone moulding.  A stone cornice separates the entrance from the second floor, where a central window repeats the stone quoining, and is topped by a keystoned lintel.

The school was built in 1925 at a cost of $20,000, and was the town's first purpose-built high school, housing grades 5 through 12.  It was enlarged significantly in 1949, adding a wing with additional classrooms, gymnasium, and auditorium.  Grades 5 and 6 were moved to the adjacent White School in 1936, and the school was converted to an elementary school after the new high school opened in 1965.  It was closed in 1991, and was subsequently converted into senior housing.

The NATO Consultation, Command and Control Organization (NC3O) was formed in 1996. Its main objective is to provide a coherent, secure and interoperable C3 capability to the NATO.

The NATO Consultation, Command and Control Board (NATO C3 Board or NC3B), formed in 1996, acts as a board of directors for the NC3O and as its main policy body.

The NC3B meets every 6 months to review progress within the NC3O's two agencies, the NATO Consultation, Command and Control Agency (NC3A) and the NATO Communication and Information Systems Services Agency NCSA, previously known as NACOSA.  The NC3B is supported in its work by the staff within the NHQC3S and the sub-committees.

There are two main parts within the structure supporting NC3O which are on one side the Sub-Committees and, on the other side, the Agencies and support bodies.

The Subcommittees are divided depending on their roles going from the more policy oriented (i.e. SC/1) to the more technically oriented (i.e. SC/7).
Every Subcommittee is divided into Working Groups (WGs) or Ad Hoc Working Groups (AHWGs) and every Working Group is divided into Syndicates. When needed, a Subcommittee can create a Syndicate depending directly from itself.

Médoc is an AOC for wine in the Bordeaux wine region of southwestern France, on the Left Bank of the Gironde estuary that covers the northern section of the viticultural strip along the Médoc peninsula. The zone is sometimes called Bas-Médoc (), though this term is not permitted on any label. With few exceptions there is produced only red wine, and no white wine has the right to be called Médoc.

The term Médoc is often used in a geographical sense to refer to the whole Left Bank region, and as defined by the original Institut National des Appellations d'Origine (INAO) decree of November 14, 1936, the appellation may be applied to all wine produced in the prescribed zone in the peninsula, but this is rare practice by estates within Médoc's sub-appellations as it carries lesser perceived prestige. Effectively it covers the northern third of the Médoc peninsula, defined by a border that runs from Saint-Yzans and Saint-Germain-d'Esteuil (at the northern edges of Haut-Médoc AOC and Saint-Estèphe AOC) in the south, to Soulac-sur-Mer in the north, although viticultural activity ends near Vensac. In all sixteen wine-producing communes are exclusive to Médoc, and Bégadan, Saint-Christoly, Ordonnac, Saint-Yzans and Saint Germain d'Esteuil have historically enjoyed a reputation level to communes of the northern Haut-Médoc.

Predominantly an area of cooperatives today, none of the estates were included in the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855, although several have been included in the (eventually discontinued) classification Cru Bourgeois.

Overview
The area covers approximately 5,700 hectares of declared vineyards, constituting 34.5% of the Médoc total, annually producing on average 300,000 hectolitres of wine.

The soils are Garonne gravel, Pyrenees gravel and clayey limestone with extreme variation in character. There are frequent areas of heavy, clay-rich, moisture-retentive soils better suited for cultivation of the Merlot grape than Cabernet Sauvignon, and vineyards are less densely packed than further south, intermingled with other forms of agriculture.

Of the grape varieties permitted by INAO in Médoc, 50% of the viticultural area is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and to a lesser extent Petit Verdot and Malbec (locally called "Côt"). Also allowed within the AOC regulations are the varieties Cabernet Franc and Carménère.

The INAO specifications demand the following production norms: a minimum of sugar,  per litre of must, maximum base yield of 50 hecolitres per hectare, and a minimum alcohol by volume of 10%.

The regulations also exclude viticultural activity in the communes Carcans, Hourtin, Brach, Saumos, Lacanau, Le Temple, Le Porge, and on "land of recent alluvium and sand lying on impermeable subsoils".

Estates
Of the 584 viticultural properties of Haut-Médoc, 239 are independent wineries and 345 are in winemaking cooperatives. Four out of five cooperatives belong to the group Unimédoc which ensures aging, bottling and marketing.

Notes and references

a.    Cru Bourgeois as a term of classification since 1932, was annulled in 2007, and reintroduced in 2009.

Tren Patagónico (in English: "Patagonian Train") is a state-owned company of Río Negro Province in Argentina which operates an 827-km length   broad gauge railway line between Viedma and San Carlos de Bariloche.

The train also runs a shorter distance service from Ing. Jacobacci to Bariloche.

History
The railway line was originally built and operated by Ferrocarriles Patagónicos, the southern division of Argentine State Railway ("Ferrocarriles del Estado Argentino"). When the Government of Argentina led by President Juan Perón nationalised the French and English companies of Argentina in 1948, the line was taken over by the General Roca Railway, a division of then-recent state-owned Ferrocarriles Argentinos.

With the increase in popularity of the line with tourists, it was decided to improve the image of the company by using the name Tren Patagónico.

As part of a railway privatisation carried out during the presidency of Carlos Menem from 1991, a concession to operate the line was granted to the Provincial government and later transferred to "Servicios Ferroviarios Patagónicos" (SEFEPA) in September 1993. Apart from its popularity with tourists, the line provides a vital service for people living along its length. From Viedma the line serves regional cities such as San Antonio Oeste, Ministro Ramos Mexía, Ingeniero Jacobacci, Pilcaniyeu and San Carlos de Bariloche.

After a time without service due to lack of diesel locomotives, the train was put into operation again in May 2014, under the new name "Tren Patagónico" after the National Government signed an agreement with Río Negro in which the Nation committed to restart the service.

In January 2015, the Government of Río Negro announced that $ 2,5 million would be invested in the modernization of the line. Works include the replacement of 12-km length rail tracks in order to avoid technical problems previously reported, such as derailments or tracks break off. The Government considers the train an important source of income for the Province, having reached 100% of occupation during the 2015 Summer season.
