Bugey wine is produced in the Bugey region in the Ain département of France, under the two VDQS designations Bugey and Roussette du Bugey. On May 28, 2009, INAO gave its final approval for the elevation of Bugey and Roussette du Bugey to Appellation d'origine contrôlée status. A high proportion of Bugey wine is white, but white, rosé, red and sparkling wines are all produced in Bugey. Bugey wine made from the aromatic white variety Altesse, locally called Roussette, are among the more noted from the area. Vineyards of the two Bugey appellations cover around 500 hectares spread over 67 communes in the department of Ain. Under the present VDQS regulations, Bugey may carry the following designations: Bugey - white, rosé or red Bugey, plus a mention of geographical origin: Manicle, a lieu dit in Cheignieu-la-Balme - white or red Montagnieu - red Bugey mousseux or pétillant - white or rosé Bugey mousseux or pétillant, plus a mention of geographical origin: Cerdon - rosé Montagnieu - white Roussette du Bugey - white Roussette du Bugey, plus a mention of geographical origin: Montagnieu - white Virieu le Grand - white White Bugey, with the exception of white Bugey-Manicle, must contain at least 50% Chardonnay, may furthermore contain Aligoté, Jacquère, Pinot gris and Mondeuse blanche as accessory grapes.

Bugey-Manicle must be 100% Chardonnay. Roussette de Bugey, which only exists as a white wine, must contain at least 50% Altesse, locally known under the name Roussette. Chardonnay is allowed as an accessory grape until the 2008 vintage, but from the 2009 vintage all Roussette de Bugey must be 100% Altesse. Roussette de Bugey with a mention of geographical origin is required to be made from only Altesse grapes. For rosé Bugey, a minimum of 50% of Gamay and Pinot noir, alone or together must be used. Mondeuse noire, Pinot gris and Poulsard are allowed as accessory grapes. Red Bugey can contain Gamay, Pinot noir or Mondeuse noire, with the exception of red Bugey-Manicle that can only contain Pinot noir, red Bugey-Montagnieu that can only contain Mondeuse noire. White sparkling Bugey, with the exception of Bugey-Montagnieu, must contain a minimum of 70% of Chardonnay, Jacquère and Molette; the following grapes are allowed as accessory grapes: Aligoté, Mondeuse blanche, Pinot gris, Pinot noir, Mondeuse noire and Poulsard.

White sparkling Bugey-Montagnieu must contain a minimum of 70% of Altesse and Mondeuse noire, with Jacquère, Pinot noir and Molette allowed as accessory grapes. Rosé sparkling Bugey follows the same rules as still Bugey rosé, with the exception of rosé sparkling Bugey-Cerdon, which must be made either from 100% Gamay or a blend of Gamay and Poulsard; the wines of Bugey have been classified as VDQS wines since 1958 under the name Vin du Bugey. Before the 2004 change to the present VDQS names, all of the following names in combination with additional designations were possible for Bugey wines: Mousseux du Bugey Pétillant du Bugey Roussette du Bugey Roussette du Bugey, plus the mention of one of the following crus: Anglefort, Chanay, Montagnieu, Virieu-le-Grand. Vin du Bugey, or Bugey Vin du Bugey, or Bugey, plus the mention of one of the following crus: Virieu-le-Grand, Manicle, Cerdon Vin du Bugey-Cerdon pétillant Vin du Bugey-Cerdon mousseux Vin du Bugey mousseux Vin du Bugey pétillantBugey has wished to achieve full Appellation d'origine contrôlée status for some time.

As of April 2008, INAO published draft AOC regulations for Bugey and Roussette du Bugey as part of the scrutiny process. By May 28, 2009, the scrutiny process was finished and INAO gave its approval, with official publication of AOC rules to follow. Bugey is located outside any of the major French wine regions, is therefore counted as a small wine-making area of its own. Since the closest vineyards of Bugey and Savoy are within a few kilometers of another, it is not surprising that Bugey sometimes is thought to be a part of the Savoy wine region. However, it was a part of Burgundy and is located in another department than Savoy. Bugey wine-growers' official site

"Underwater" is a song by Australian alternative dance group Rüfüs Du Sol. The song was released on 10 August 2018 as the second single from the group's third studio album Solace. In November 2019, the song was nominated for Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording at the 2020 Awards. Sose Fuamoli from Triple J described "Underwater" as "an envelope pusher when it comes to production" adding "thumping beats and Tyrone Lindqvist's soaring vocals have pulled the band right back into our eyeline and centre."Kat Benin from Billboard said ""Underwater" sounds like its title. It opens with blinking, repetitive synth, murky as if coming through depths of blue. A chorus of ghostly voices lures you deeper as singer Tyrone Lindqvist whispers you to move further away. You can't, of course. You're trapped by RÜFÜS' dark magic. If you like a little creepiness with your cool, dig that flatline beat at the end."The song was voted in at #22 in the world's largest annual music poll, the Triple J Hottest 100, 2018

The Type 281 radar was a British naval early warning radar developed during World War II. It replaced the Type 79 as the Royal Navy's main early warning radar during the war; the prototype system was mounted on the light cruiser HMS Dido in October 1940. This radar used a frequency of 90 MHz, a beamwidth of 35°, a wavelength of 3.5 m. It required separate receiving antennas that were rotated by hand. For long-range warning the radar used a 15 microsecond pulse at a power level of 350 kW that gave a detection range up to 110 nautical miles for aircraft. For tracking surface targets it used a 2–3 microsecond pulse at 1 MW that gave a range up to 12 nautical miles. A second set was installed in January 1941 aboard the battleship HMS Prince of Wales and production began of another 57 sets with the first deliveries occurring the following month; this set had a secondary aerial and surface gunnery capability and used a Precision Ranging Panel. The Type 281 ranging system allowed the user to select either a 2,000 yards to 14,000 yards or a 2,000 yards to 25,000 yards range display with range accuracies of 50 yards or 75 yards RMS, respectively.

Aerial target ranges were passed directly to the HACS table. Type 281B consolidated the transmission and receiving antennas while the Type 281BP radar had the short pulse feature removed, it was fitted with improved receivers that increased the maximum detection range for an aircraft at 20,000 feet to 120 nautical miles. At lower altitudes, ranges declined to 90 nautical miles at 10,000 feet and 65 nautical miles at 5,000 feet; the Type 281BQ was a Type 281BP fitted with power rotation, at 2 or 4 rpm, equipped with a plan position indicator. After the end of the war, the Type 281 was replaced by the Type 960 radar. Brown, Louis. A Radar History of World War II: Technological and Military Imperatives.
