The Frecce Tricolori (Italian pronunciation: [ˈfrettʃe trikoˈloːri]; literally "Tricolour Arrows"), officially known as the 313° Gruppo Addestramento Acrobatico, Pattuglia Acrobatica Nazionale (PAN) Frecce Tricolori ("313th Acrobatic Training Group, National Aerobatic Team (PAN) Frecce Tricolori"), is the aerobatic demonstration team of the Italian Air Force. Based at Rivolto Air Base, province of Udine, it was created on 1 March 1961 as a permanent group for the training of Air Force pilots in air acrobatics.[1]
The Tricolour Arrows replaced unofficial teams that had been sponsored by various commands starting in the early 1930s.[2] The team flies the Aermacchi MB-339-A/PAN, a two-seat fighter-trainer craft capable of 898 km/h at sea level.[2][3] With ten aircraft, nine in close formation and a soloist, they are the world's largest acrobatics patrol, and their flight schedule, comprising about twenty acrobatics and about half an hour, made them the most famous in the world.[4] It is one of national symbols of Italy.
Formation
During the performances the formation of the acrobatic patrol is usually composed of 9 aircraft, called "Pony", each labeled with a number ranging from 1 to 10.[18][19] The name "Pony" was coined by the then Captain Zeno Tascio to remember the horse of Francesco Baracca[20] which is the sign of the 4th Wing, at the time 4th Airbase who was already preparing to take over the task PAN for the 1961. Depending on the needs of the Department, aircraft can also be 11 in total, thus including the figure of the acrobatic training manager:
Pony 0 - Commander
Pony 1 - Head of Formation
Pony 2 - 1° Left Domestique
Pony 3 - 1° Right Domestique
Pony 4 - 2° Left Domestique
Pony 5 - 2° Right Domestique
Pony 6 - 1° Tail light
Pony 7 - 3° Left Domestique
Pony 8 - 3° Right Domestique
Pony 9 - 2° Tail light
Pony 10 - Soloist
Pony 11 - Acrobatic Training Supervisor
Pony 12 - Pilot in Training
Pony 13 - Pilot in Training
Pony 14 - Pilot in Training
Pony 15 - Pilot in Training
Pony 16 - Pilot in Training

Frecce Tricolori (italienisch für Dreifarbige Pfeile) sind eine Kunstflugstaffel der italienischen Luftwaffe, die 1961 als 313º Gruppo Addestramento Acrobatico aufgestellt wurde. Die Staffel ist auf dem Militärflugplatz Rivolto bei Udine stationiert und erhielt am 1. Juli 1961 den heutigen Namen: 313º Gruppo Addestramento Acrobatico - Pattuglia Acrobatica Nazionale (PAN) “Frecce Tricolori”.
Der Ursprung des Kunstflugteams reicht bis in die 1920er Jahre zurück. Bei einem Besuch in Großbritannien hatten einige hohe Fliegeroffiziere die Anfänge des Formationskunstflugs kennengelernt. Der Befehl zur Gründung einer Kunstflugstaffel ging an Oberst Rino Corso Fougier in Udine. Er gilt als Vater des italienischen Formationskunstflugs und prägte maßgeblich den Ausbildungsstandard der Militärpiloten.
Die erste Fünfer-Kunstflugstaffel seines 1. Geschwaders (1º Stormo) war in Campoformido stationiert. Die erste Staffel erschien am 8. Juni 1930 bei der 1ª Giornata Aerea dell’Ala in Rom als offizieller Repräsentant der italienischen Luftwaffe.[1] In dieser Geburtsstunde zeigten sie mit sieben Jagddoppeldeckern vom Typ Fiat CR.20 ihr erstes Programm. Die 2ª Giornata Aerea dell’Ala 1932 zeigte mit Doppeldeckern vom Typ Breda Ba.19 ihr Programm. 1936 erhielten die „Frecce“ die Fiat CR.32.
Nach der Unterbrechung durch den Zweiten Weltkrieg begannen sie erneut mit Düsenflugzeugen das Formationskunstflugtraining. Die Teams Cavallino Rampante („Aufbäumendes Pferdchen“), Getti Tonanti („Donnernde Jets“), Tigri Bianche („Weiße Tiger“), Lancieri Neri („Schwarze Lanzenreiter“) und die Diavoli Rossi („Rote Teufel“) wurden bekannt.
Die erste wirkliche italienische Kunstflugstaffel wurde vom 4º Stormo aufgestellt. Als erste Einheit mit den Doppelrumpfjägern de Havilland D.H.100F.B.52 bildeten die Piloten des Geschwaders 1954 das erste italienische Kunstflug-Jet-Team mit dem Namen „Cavallino Rampante“. Mit der Republic F-84G starteten die „Getti Tonanti“ als Nachfolger der Staffel „Cavallino Rampante“. Der Fliegerfilm I quattro del getto tonante („Die vier donnernden Jets“) wurde mit dem Team gedreht. Die 51ª Aerobrigata übernahm 1955 mit dem Team „Tigri Bianche“ die Funktion der offiziellen Kunstflugstaffel der italienischen Luftwaffe, geflogen mit F84G Thunderjets. 1956 flog wieder das 4° Stormo mit neuen Canadair F-86 Sabre Mk4[2]. Das 6° Stormo flog als „rote Teufel“ („Diavoli Rossi“) die Republic F84F Thunderstreaks erstmals am 19. Mai 1957 auf dem Flughafen Turin-Caselle. 1958 wurde die 2ª Aerobrigata mit dem Namen „Lancieri Neri“ aufgestellt. Die sechs Piloten flogen eine F-86 Sabre.
Das Generalstab der italienischen Luftwaffe entschloss sich Ende 1960, ein eigenes Kunstflugteam aufzubauen, das nur noch in der Nebenrolle als leichte Jagdbomberstaffel zur Verfügung stehen sollte. Mit dieser Aufgabe wurde die 313º Gruppo betraut.

LOS ANGELES — Last summer’s non-motorized pilot boating program offered 280 opportunities for a rare trip down the Los Angeles River. The coveted tickets sold out in minutes, according to Yasmin Mero-Corona, the Los Angeles Conservation Corps’ Paddle the LA River project coordinator.
This year, two non-profit organizations, LA Conservation Corps and the San Joaquin River Stewardship Program received a permit from the District. They offered 2,000 seats with the same result, sold out in minutes and stand-by lists at capacity.
And interest in expanding the program to other suitable areas is growing.
“We are currently working with the City of Los Angeles, the County Department of Public Works and the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority,”
said Lisa Sandoval, realty specialist asset management division. “They would like to expand the non-motorized boating program to the Glendale Narrows area
and we are looking to have a pilot program in place by next summer.”
Mero-Corona emphasized that education is an important component of their program. This year, Wednesdays are designated for non-paid youth trips in
partnership with The River Project. They present a history lesson prior to the kayaking trip and later follow up with the students for a project showcasing what they learned about the river.
“For years, the Los Angeles River through the Sepulveda Basin has been reserved for our efforts in flood risk management,” added Sandoval.
The District’s own work on river ecosystem restoration and studies aim to restore a more natural habitat where appropriate, improve its water quality and enhance recreational benefits, all while maintaining its flood damage reduction capability. We are a fully committed partner to the city’s Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan.
With much of the 1.5-mile course a tranquil ride, the exception is the start of the journey with equal parts portage and paddling. Boaters must navigate the Cattail Chute and the Lake Balboa Ledge within the first quarter-mile of their trip.
The tours are scheduled to run through September 30.
Maasvlakte 2 Rotterdam, The Netherlands
With Maasvlakte 2, the ambition of the Port of Rotterdam Authority is to be a global leader in the field of sustainability. To achieve this ambition, the Port of Rotterdam Authority offers every opportunity to innovative technologies that lead to the sustainable and successful development of the new port and industrial area.
The Port Authority has a long tradition in applying advanced technologies and processes, of which there are ample examples in the current port, including the Euromax-terminal and the innovative communication system Portbase. For Maasvlakte 2, we have raised the bar even higher. We want the new port and industrial area to become the most sustainable and innovative port in the world. Not an unrealistic ambition for a port that has literally been recovered from the sea and where sustainability and innovation can be built into each component.
The Port Authority has set strict requirements in terms of sustainability for companies wishing to locate on Maasvlakte 2. The Port Authority makes clear agreements with the companies about air quality, noise and cleaner hinterland transport, but also about the efficient use (or reuse) of energy, each other's waste heat, waste materials and semi-manufactured products. Companies also recognise the need to tackle environmental problems and seek new forms of sustainable management. In addition, they see opportunities to increase their efficiency. As a result, Maasvlakte 2 is a showcase which demonstrates that sustainability and economic growth are perfectly compatible.
The container terminals on Maasvlakte 2 are the most modern and advanced terminals in the world. The terminals are fully electric, from the Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) to the quay cranes. The terminal of APM Terminals runs entirely on power generated by wind turbines. At Rotterdam World Gateway, buildings are equipped with thermal storage. The connection with the Betuwe Route has also been taken into consideration: the terminals are ready for the new division of the hinterland transport across the most sustainable transport modes. One of these transport modes is inland shipping, which is why the new terminals are the first with a quay specifically designed for inland vessels.
From Rotterdam, most containers are transported to their destination by truck. This puts considerable pressure on the motorways around Rotterdam and elsewhere. Furthermore, emissions from trucks reduce the air quality. The way transportation to the hinterland is divided between the various transport modes is called the modal split. Through a variety of projects, the Port Authority aims to increase the transport of containers by rail and inland shipping. This redirecting of transport from trucks to trains and inland vessels is called the modal shift. Companies that are allowed to locate on Maasvlakte 2 commit themselves to the imposed modal shift.
An 80-hectare site has been reserved on Maasvlakte 2 to accommodate biochemistry companies. Chemicals based on natural raw materials will be produced here in the future. At the bio-based cluster on Maasvlakte 2, companies can optimally benefit from each other's presence. Together with four partners, the Port Authority is realising Plug & Play facilities in the Bio-based Cluster. Thanks to this initiative, companies do not need to invest individually in the supply of energy, energy networks, tank storage and wastewater, process water and drinking water.

NON-NUCLEAR COMPONENT STORES BUILDING 60 –
The function of the non-nuclear component stores was to hold the high explosive part of the bomb and its outer casing. The casing could probably be split into two units, the tail and forward part containing the high explosive and electronics. The bombs, minus their fissile components, were housed in three almost identical stores buildings 59-61, known as Storage Building Type 'D-D'. These are arranged in an arrowhead pattern, and are accessed from the internal loop road, and are all surrounded by 14ft 6in high earth traverses, revetted by a reinforced concrete retaining wall against the roadway.
The western store, building 59 was gutted by a fire during the 1980's and has subsequently been demolished. Its floor plan remains visible on the remaining concrete floor slab. The two remaining stores, buildings 60 and 61 are rectangular in plan, and are constructed from reinforced concrete columns and beams. Internally there are two rows of columns, 13in², which support the roof beams, 2ft by 9in, which carry the 9in thick reinforced concrete roof slab which is covered with bituminous felt. The rainwater gutters and down pipes are cast asbestos.
The wall sections are filled with 18in by 9in by 9in precast concrete blocks, internally the main storage area measures 190ft 2½in by 60ft. It is divided longitudinally into eleven 17ft by 3ft bays and cross ways into three bays the outer bays measure 17ft 6in and the central bay is 25ft wide. The maximum clear internal height was 12ft from the floor to the underside of the roof beams. The floor is surfaced with a hard gritless asphalt with the patent name 'Ironite'. The walls are painted pale green colour and the ceiling cream. in store building 61 the bay letters 0, N, M, and L are visible on the rear columns on the eastern side, suggesting the store was divided into 22 bays along the outer walls.
Abutting on to the front of the stores, and flanking the entrances, are plant and switch rooms, which originally contained heating and air conditioning plant to maintain a stable environment within the stores. A raised air extract duct is placed asymmetrically on the roofs of the stores. Entry into the stores is through a 10ft wide door opening with 12ft high doors. In the rear wall of the stores is a single door width, outward opening emergency exit. The first nuclear weapon the store was designed to hold was relatively large, a ''Blue Danube'' bomb measured 24ft in length and weighed 10,000lbs.
The problems of handling such large objects are reflected in the provision of substantial lifting gantries at the entrance to each store. Two variants are found, the simplest, exemplified by the middle store building 60 comprises a straight gantry. Over the roadway the gantry is supported by four 24in by 18in reinforced concrete columns, which support two 51in by 24in reinforced concrete beams. The upper beams of the gantry taper towards the entrance to the store where they are suppurted by two reinforced concrete columns. On the underside of the gantry is attached a 20in by 6½in rolled steel joist runway beam which runs to the entrance to the building. This was originally fitted with a 10 ton hoist. The gantry is covered by asbestos sheeting to provide a dry working area.
On the eastern and western stores the gantries were set at 30° to the front of the stores. In this variant an extra set of columns was placed at the 30° dogleg. Internally there is no evidence for a runway beam, so it presumed the bombs were lifted off a road transporter and loaded onto a bomb trolley for storage. It is not known how many bombs were kept in each store, or if the tail units were separated from the front part of the bomb for storage. Subsequent to the site being relinquished by the RAF a central corridor has been created in the stores by the insertion of breeze block walls. Doors in these walls give access to workshops along either side of the buildings. External windows have also been inserted in some of the bays.

RDB awarded 11 local businesses during the 7th edition of the RDB Business Excellence Awards that took place on 31st January, 2020.
The 2019 RDB Business Excellence Awards celebrated efforts made by both corporate and small medium sized enterprises in Rwanda. The awards are an opportunity for the local business community to come together and celebrate business development and success.
About 500 guests including members of local business community, media, development partners and various other stakeholders, attended the ceremony that took place at the Kigali Convention Center.
The nine categories that were awarded were the Investor of the Year, Emerging Investor of the Year, Exporter of the Year, Emerging Exporter of the Year, Innovator of the Year, Woman Entrepreneur of the Year, Young Entrepreneur of the Year, Made in Rwanda Enterprise of the Year, Emerging Made In Rwanda Enterprise of the Year, SME of the Year, and the Skills Development Promoter of the Year.
180 companies applied for the 2019 RDB Business Excellence Awards.
Commenting on the role of the private sector in Rwanda’s development agenda and how the RDB Excellence Awards tie into RDB’s mission of fast tracking investment in Rwanda, RDB Chief Executive Officer, Clare Akamanzi, said:
“As we celebrate the achievements registered by our business community from various areas of our economy, some key milestones epitomize the key role played by our private sector. For example, after recording 173 projects worth US$ 2 billion in investments registered for the first time in the country’s history in 2018, we continued our strong investment growth with over US$ 2.4 billion registered in 2019 – our highest investment registration to date. This increase represents a 23% increase from 2018. This is undoubtedly a vote of confidence of our business environment when you consider that in 2010, less than US$ 400 million worth of projects were registered. While I congratulate all the winners tonight, I want you to know that every single one of you is a winner for choosing to invest in Rwanda.”
In his keynote address, the Guest of Honor, Prime Minister, ÉdouardNgirente, said:
“The business community is an essential component of Rwanda’s trajectory towards achieving an inclusive and sustainable growth by 2024 and middle income status by 2035. The Private sector is currently the largest provider of jobs to our citizens and the Government of Rwanda recognizes the efforts in this direction. The Government also appreciates the role of the business community in increasing the country’s exports. I call upon the business community to engage more in joint ventures (local and foreign) and explore markets through various partnerships to expand their businesses.”
