Bangabandhu Jamuna Multipurpose Bridge opened in June 1998, is the longest bridge in Bangladesh as well as in South Asia, and the 11th longest bridge in the world. It was constructed over the river jamuna, mightiest of the three major rivers of Bangladesh, and fifth largest in the world in terms of volumetric discharge. The bridge established a strategic link between the eastern and western parts of Bangladesh. It generates multifarious benefits for the people and especially, promotes inter-regional trade in the country. Apart from quick movement of goods and passenger traffic by road and rail, it facilitated transmission of electricity and natural gas, and integration of telecommunication links.

Viking Princess is a liquefied natural gas (LNG)-driven multipurpose offshore vessel owned by Eidesvik Supply and operated by Eidesvik. She was delivered in September 2012 and is the sister ship to Viking Prince, which started sailing in March 2012.

 

Norwegian shipbuilder Kleven Maritime won a $77.28m (NOK440m) contract by Eidesvik back in July 2010 to build the two sister ships. The keel of the second vessel, Viking Princess, was laid in October 2011 in Kleven Maritime’s yard at Ulsteinvik, Ulstein, Norway. The vessel’s hull was launched in April 2012.

 

Viking Princess was officially christened by Mette-Marit, the Crown Princess of Norway, on 14 September 2012 in Bergen, Hordaland, Norway.

 

The vessel is of VS 489 Gas PSV design developed by Wärtsilä Ship Design and is built to DNV class 1A1 ICE-C Supply Vessel, Standby Vessel(S), Oil Rec, Gas Fuelled, and other notations.

 

Prominent features of the vessel include fuel economy, low emissions, large cargo capacity, oil recovery equipment and capacity for standby. Winterisation and de-icing solutions make her suitable for operations in ice and cold environments.

 

The vessel’s dual fuel engines allow her to operate on gas as well as heavy fuel oil (HFO) and marine diesel oil (MDO). It is only during LNG bunkering that the vessel uses diesel. The use of LNG will reduce NOx and CO2 emissions by 85% and 25% respectively.

 

Viking Princess has a gross tonnage of 5,014t and a dead weight of 5,800t. Her overall length, moulded breadth and summer draught are 89.6m, 21m and 7.6m respectively. Length between perpendiculars is 79.2m, while depth to main deck is 9.6m. Cargo deck area of the vessel is 1,050m2 and the height of the cargo rail is 4m.

 

Accommodation and facilities onboard the Viking Princess

 

The PSV can provide permanent accommodation for a total of 28 persons. It has four cabin states, 12 one-man cabins and six two-man cabins. All of them are provided with toilet and shower facilities.

 

Facilities on-board include a no-smokers room, smokers room, laundry and gymnasium. The vessel also has an office and a hospital.

Spodek, translated as “The Saucer” is a multipurpose arena in Katowice. The name isn’t incidental as the structure’s shape really does bring to mind a flying saucer. This intriguing design is the work of Maciej Gintowt and Maciej Krasiński. Spodek has been a highly-recognised symbol of Katowice. It’s regularly used for large varied events such as international volleyball matches and even video game tournaments (Intel Extreme Masters).

The men of the track are out to perform a little tweak to the catch-point that serves the canal wharf siding. It frequently gets stuck open, but because the siding slopes down at 1 in 25 below the height of the mainline, nobody has ever been that worried. But ‘control’ are passing through on their inspection train later and won’t be too impressed if they spot a potential hazard like a jammed catch-point.

 

On the left, Steve the Spanner holds up his huge adjustable spanner which can be adapted to any situation. It can even be used as a hammer, a door stop or crowbar, making it a most wonderful multi-purpose tool which can be used in both metric and imperial settings. Most extraordinary you must agree.

 

But much to everybody’s surprise, Percival Pickaxe jumps in with his multi-purpose tool which can be used for making holes in coconuts, moonshine stills and almost anything else that needs damaging beyond repair. However in this case, it will quite likely do a great job freeing up the stuck point/switch blade.

Montevideo is a multipurpose skyscraper located by the river Maas in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands. The building has 43 floors and its structural height is 140 m. However, together with the huge M on the roof, the building's total height is 152.3 m, making it the currently highest building in the Netherlands, but even if only the structural height is considered, it is still the highest residential building in the Netherlands. The huge M meassures 8 by 8 by 1 meters and is the logo of Montevideo. It is also designed to be a giant wind vane.

 

The Montevideo skyscraper was opened 19 December 2005. The building is designed by the Mecanoo architecture firm. It accommodates 192 apartments, 6050 m² office space, and 1933 m² retail space.

 

The building received a commendation award by the International Highrise Award 2006, and it has been awarded the Dedallo Minosse Prize. In addition it finished in third place in the 2005 Emporis Skyscraper Award selection

Three Rivers Stadium, Pittsburgh, PA

 

Three Rivers Stadium was a multipurpose sports stadium and event facility located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.

 

The stadium's name was derived from the junction of the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers, where they formed the Ohio River, the "Golden Triangle". The stadium was located on the north side of the confluence.

 

Three Rivers played home to Pittsburgh's Pirates, Steelers and the USFL Pittsburgh Maulers, as well as to concerts, monster truck rallies, professional wrestling shows, Billy Graham revivals, and other types of events. In all, Three Rivers Stadium hosted over 5,000 events in its 30 years of existence, but it was seen as an outdated facility in the "luxury box" and "signature stadium" era of the 21st century.

 

The stadium's design was nearly circular, attempting to facilitate use by the Pirates and Steelers with equal accommodation. Unfortunately, as was the case with other cities in which this so-called "cookie cutter" approach was employed (Washington, New York, Houston, Atlanta, St. Louis, San Diego, Cincinnati, and Philadelphia), the fundamentally different shapes of the playing fields made the stadium inadequate to the needs of either sport. Even by "cookie cutter" standards, the upper deck at Three Rivers was exceptionally high, making for steep climbs by event attendees and adding to its cavernous feel. By the 1990s, the use of multiple low-bid contractors in its construction began to show, as parts of the concrete began to turn differing shades of brown.

 

The stadium did have its moments of glory and drama, mostly in its first decade of existence. The Pirates won the 1971 and 1979 World Series while playing here, upsetting the favored Baltimore Orioles in both series. The 1971 World Series featured the first night game in World Series history (Game 4). Roberto Clemente ended his career while playing here, garnering 3,000 hits, before his death in a plane crash while bringing earthquake relief supplies. Slugger Willie Stargell established himself as a fan favorite. The Pirates also made the playoffs during 1990-1991-1992, only to be thwarted by the Cincinnati Reds and the Atlanta Braves, and since then by the competitive disproportions of the big-contract era in baseball. It also hosted the 1974 and 1994 Major League Baseball All-Star Games.

 

The Steelers fielded what was arguably the greatest NFL team of all time, culminating in four championship trophies in six years during the 1970's with wins in Super Bowl IX, Super Bowl X, Super Bowl XIII and Super Bowl XIV. The Steelers, coached by Chuck Noll, featured quarterback Terry Bradshaw, running back Franco Harris, receiver Lynn Swann, and defender "Mean" Joe Greene, who anchored the "Steel Curtain." The "Immaculate Reception" occurred here, in a 1972 AFC playoff game against the Oakland Raiders. In the 1990's the Steelers, coached by Bill Cowher, again made the Super Bowl (Super Bowl XXX), only to lose to the Dallas Cowboys. One of the biggest upsets in NFL history occurred on January 15, 1995, when the San Diego Chargers scored a last-second goal line stand and upset the Steelers in the AFC championship game, 17-13, negating a stellar performance by quarterback Neil O'Donnell.

 

For the 2000 football season, Three Rivers Stadium was the interim home for the University of Pittsburgh varsity football team. During that season, the stadium played host to the last game of the longtime Pitt-Penn State rivalry, which Pitt won, 12-0.

 

Three Rivers Stadium was imploded on February 11, 2001. The Pirates moved into a baseball-specific facility, PNC Park, situated farther east on the north bank of the Allegheny River. The Steelers later that year moved into Heinz Field, a facility built less than 50 feet (15 m) from where Three Rivers stood.

  

A rugged, reliable multipurpose vehicle with outstanding offroad capabilities. It is a popular choice for adventurers, military organizations and NGOs that require a vehicle with the ability to travel virtually anywhere.

 

This Globetrotter has been outfitted with the Anti-Beast package, which includes fixed bars over the rear windows and hinged reinforced steel bars over the driver, passenger and windshield. These bars can be swung up and out of the way for storage when not in use to improve visibility and access. The option for steel reinforcements over the engine, are a common choice for use in dinosaur infested environs.

 

Naturally, a winch rated for about 15,000 pounds is useful for a variety of things in the field, namely pulling your vehicle out of that dilophosaurus pen you just crashed into, or when trying to hold onto a Winnebago as tyrannosaurs push it over a cliff.

 

Four high-power foglights, a supplemental light bar and two sets of utility lamps mounted over the rear windows provide ample illumination on even the darkest nights.
