.380 ACP

The .380 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) is a rimless, straight-walled pistol cartridge developed by firearms designer John Moses Browning. The cartridge headspaces on the mouth of the case. It was introduced in 1908 by Colt, for use in its new Colt Model 1908 pocket hammerless semi-automatic, and has been a popular self-defense cartridge ever since, seeing wide use in numerous handguns (typically smaller weapons). Other names for .380 ACP include .380 Auto, 9mm Browning, 9mm Corto, 9mm Kurz, 9mm Short, 9×17mm and 9 mm Browning Court (which is the C.I.P. designation). It is not to be confused with .38 ACP, 9mm Ultra, 9mm Makarov or 9mm Parabellum.

History

Uniregistry Corporation was officially founded in 2012 by Frank Schilling, one of the largest private domain name portfolio owners in the world, and registered in the Cayman Islands. However, the domain Uniregistry.com was registered six years earlier and the company filed an intent to use the name in the Cayman Islands in 2010. Trademark applications for the "Uniregistry" mark and its stylized "U" logo were filed in 2012. That year, Schilling invested $60 million and applied for 54 new top-level domains. Uniregistrar Corporation became an ICANN-accredited registrar in February 2013. In January 2014, Uniregistry Inc. became a subsidiary in Newport Beach, California to house a West Coast service and support team. The registrar began operating under the licensed Uniregistry brand name in 2014. Uniregistry's registry infrastructure was designed by Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) and Uniregistry subsequently purchased its infrastructure in 2013.

Auto (company)

Aktieselskabet (A/S) Auto was a car dealer in Oslo (known as Kristiania until 1924), Norway.

It was founded in 1908 with Carl O. Nielsen as the first general manager. It had roots in his former company, C. O. Nielsens Automobilforretning. The company had a sales office in Kvadraturen (Tollbodgaten 20) and a workshop in Frogner (Lindemanns gate 9). It later expanded to incorporate other addresses in Lindemanns gate.

The company imported and sold Lorraine-Dietrich and Cottereau from the start, then also Isotta-Fraschini, Minerva and Thornycroft. During the First World War Dodge Brothers and Federal were added, during the interwar period Renault and De Dion-Bouton.

The company went defunct in 1930, amid the economic depression. The last manager was Carl Simonsen. Many of the car brands have also been discontinued.
