"Bem" is the second episode of the second season of the animated science fiction television series Star Trek, the 18th episode overall. It first aired in the NBC Saturday morning lineup on September 14, 1974, and was written by David Gerrold, who wrote the earlier episode "More Tribbles, More Troubles" and worked on several Original Series episodes. This episode marks the first time that Captain James T. Kirk's full name is given, revealing that the middle initial stood for Tiberius, after the Roman emperor.
In this episode, the Enterprise crew must cope with a diplomatically sensitive issue involving a guest officer who meddles in a crucial mission.
On stardate 7403.6, the Federation starship Enterprise crew is conducting a series of exploratory missions with honorary Commander Ari bn Bem, a representative from the newly contacted planet Pandro, who is working for his government as an independent observer of the Federation.
Bem accompanies a landing party on a mission to a newly discovered planet, but, instead of observing, begins to interfere with the mission.

Nau is the only release by Nau, a Brazilian post-punk band founded in 1985 by writer Vange Leonel (vocals), former Zero member Alberto "Beto" Birger (bass), Zique (guitar) and Mauro Sanches (drums, percussion). It was released in 1987 via CBS Records International. The album was critically acclaimed and even got the attention of famous singer Cazuza, who became a fan of the band.
According to former guitarist Zique, by 1989 Nau was working on a second album. Eight tracks were recorded for it, but due to lack of promotion and the decline of appreciation of Brazilian rock during the late 1980s and the early 1990s, the album was scrapped and the group disbanded soon after; CBS would be also disestablished in the following year, since it was bought by Sony. Four of the tracks intended for the unproduced second album were available for streaming at the now-defunct official website for Zique.
"Nau" is the Portuguese word for carrack.
The twenty-foot equivalent unit (often TEU or teu) is an inexact unit of cargo capacity often used to describe the capacity of container ships and container terminals. It is based on the volume of a 20-foot-long (6.1 m) intermodal container, a standard-sized metal box which can be easily transferred between different modes of transportation, such as ships, trains and trucks.
The container is defined by its length though there is a lack of standardisation in regard to height, ranging between 4 feet 3 inches (1.30 m) and 9 feet 6 inches (2.90 m), with the most common height being 8 feet 6 inches (2.59 m). Also, it is common to designate 45-foot (13.7 m) containers as 2 TEU, rather than 2.25 TEU.
The standard intermodal container is designated as twenty feet long and 8 feet (2.44 m) wide. Additionally there is a standard container with the same width but a doubled length of forty feet called a 40-foot container, which equals one forty-foot equivalent unit (often FEU or feu) in cargo transportation (considered to be two TEU, see below).
