    The Oyster 575, made by Oyster Marine, with her twin-wheel configuration, will soon set the standard by which cruising yachts in this size range are judged.

    The 577 Tyrannosaur or 577 T-Rex is a cartridge developed by A-Square in 1993 for professional guides that escort clients hunting dangerous game. The cartridge is designed for use in "stopping rifles": A rifle intended to stop the charge of dangerous game. The 577 contains a .585-inch (14.9 mm) diameter 750-grain (49 g) Monolithic Solid Projectile which when fired moves at 2,460 ft/s (750 m/s) producing 10,180 foot-pounds force (13,800 J) of muzzle energy.[1] The production model from A-square is based on their Hannibal rifle platform. This cartridge has the distinction of possessing the heaviest free recoil of all commercially available, shoulder-fired weapons, at 220 lbs into the shoulder with its heaviest solid of 750 grains. The larger caliber, .700 Nitro Express, drives a 1,000 grain solid at 8,900 foot-pounds, with free recoil of 200 lbs into the shoulder.

    Gliese 581 (/ˈɡliːzə/, also known as HO Librae) is a main sequence red star with spectral type M3V, located about 22[9] light years away from Earth in the constellation Libra. Its estimated mass is about a third of that of the Sun, and it is the 89th[10] closest known star to the Sun. Observations suggest that the star has a planetary system consisting of at least three, maybe four, and controversially six planets: Gliese 581 e, b, and c are certain; d is probable;[11] and f and g are disputed.
    Gliese 581 has been the subject of a "huge amount of attention" in the quest to discover the first habitable extrasolar planet; first for c, and then d and g.[12]
    The star first gained attention after Gliese 581 c, the first low-mass extrasolar planet found near a habitable zone, was discovered in April 2007. It has since been shown that under known terrestrial planet climate models, Gliese 581 c is likely to have a runaway greenhouse effect, and hence is probably too hot to be habitable, analogous to Venus. A subsequently proposed planet Gliese 581 d, may be just inside or just outside the outer boundary of the habitable zone (depending in part on the greenhouse properties of its atmosphere), analogous to Mars.[12][13]
    Gliese 581 e was announced in April 2009;[14] this was at the time the least-massive planet found around a normal star.
    Excitement spiked again in September 2010 with the claimed discovery of Gliese 581 g, orbiting between c and d, believed to be the planet with the greatest likelihood of having conditions suitable for liquid water at its surface found to date because it is within the middle of the habitable zone.[15] Its existence remains in dispute.[11][12][16]
    On 27 November 2012, the European Space Agency announced a comet belt, with at least ten times as many comets as the Solar system. This put constraints on possible planets beyond 0.75 AU.[17]

    Hey Channon, nice to see you playing along <ok>

    14 carat gold usually consists of the following hallmark, 585 would be the purity mark but can also be stamped 14kt or just 14k depending on the country of origin

    EN590 describes the physical properties that all automotive diesel fuel must meet if it is to be sold in the European Union, Croatia, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland.
    Based on 98/70/EG it allows the blending of up to 7% fatty acid methyl ester biodiesel with 'conventional' diesel - a 7:93 mix.

    Aeroflot Flight 593 was a Moscow&#8211;Hong Kong passenger service operated by Aeroflot &#8211; Russian International Airlines flown with an Airbus A310-300 that crashed into a hillside of the Kuznetsk Alatau mountain range, Kemerovo Oblast, Russia, on 23 March 1994.[1][2] There were 75 fatalities with no survivors.

    No evidence of technical malfunction was found.[3] Cockpit voice and flight data recorders revealed the presence of the pilot's 12-year-old daughter and 16-year-old son on the flight deck.[4][5][6] The children apparently had unknowingly disabled the A310 autopilot's control of the aircraft's ailerons while seated at the controls. The aircraft had then rolled into a steep bank and near-vertical dive from which the pilots were unable to regain control.[7] Unlike Soviet planes, with which the crew had been familiar, no audible alarm accompanied the autopilot's partial disconnection, and consequently the crew remained unaware of what was happening.
