Collins Aerospace is engaged in designing, manufacturing and servicing systems and components for commercial aviation, business aviation, military and defense, helicopters, space, airports, and other industries.

Collins Aerospace has six strategic business units: Aerostructures, Avionics, Interiors, Mechanical Systems, Missions Systems, and Power & Controls.

Ithaco Space Systems, Inc. 

Collins Aerospace is the owner of Ithaco Space Systems, Inc., formerly owned by Goodrich Company and its successor UTC Aerospace Systems. Ithaco has produced items for the field of satellite control since 1962, such as Earth sensors, reaction/momentum wheels, magnetometers, and magnetic torquers.

In addition to over 100 U.S. satellites, equipment made by Ithaco has flown on Japanese, Canadian, French, German, Spanish, Swedish, and Argentinean spacecraft. Ithaco became notable for having manufactured the reaction wheels of the Kepler spacecraft, the Hayabusa spacecraft, the Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) satellite, and the Dawn spacecraft, which developed problems or even failed.

Dan Voorhees Stephens (November 4, 1868 – January 13, 1939) was a Nebraska Democratic politician.

Born in Bloomington, Indiana, on November 4, 1868, Dan V. Stephens attended Valparaiso College in Indiana. He settled in Fremont, Nebraska, where he taught school and studied law.

2006 murder of TRO workers refers to the incident of abduction of seven Tamils Rehabilitation Organisation (TRO) employees who were tortured and executed by the TMVP paramilitary group. One employee Premini Thanuskodi was gang raped and murdered.

Abduction
Seven TRO workers were abducted in two separate incident in January 2006 in Jaffna. The first incident happened when five workers were traveling from Batticalo to Kilinochchi.  They were subjected to checks at the Sri Lanka Army checkpoint at Welikanda. At this point they noticed a white van behind them. After traveling a short distance from the checkpoint the workers were attacked by armed men in the white van. The assaulter then tied the workers and took them to a camp in the jungle. Three of the five abducted were released later. The next day another 15 workers were abducted 100 meters in front of the Walikanda checkpoint. 10 of the 15 abducted were released and were told to prepare the funeral rights for their colleges.

Reaction
The President of Sri Lanka has asked the security forces to speed up the investigation concerning the abduction of the TRO workers. He further asked to search the Walikanda area for the abducted. The government also denied any links to this abduction.

Tamils Rehabilitation Organisation has alleged that their staff were abducted by the Karuna Group, a paramilitary organization which is believed to be working with the Sri Lankan Armed Forces. It further added that they have not received any reports or response from any investigating authorities.

The Amnesty International has asked for the immediate release of these workers 

The former US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs, Christina Rocca, made an appeal for their release.

The LTTE expressed concern over the abduction of the TRO workers.

Conflicting reports
UTHR reported that the LTTE had staged the abduction of the TRO workers but later said that they were not correct on this statement. However, TRO alleged that a government backed paramilitary was responsible for this abduction

Alexander Dinghas (February 9, 1908 – April 19, 1974) was a Greek mathematician.

Biography
Dinghas was born on February 9, 1908, in Smyrna (now İzmir), Turkey. He did his schooling in Smyrna. He and his family moved to Athens in 1922.

Dinghas completed his secondary school and entered the National Technical University of Athens in 1925. He graduated with a diploma in electrical and mechanical engineering in 1930.

In 1931 Dinghas began his studies at the University of Berlin in Berlin, Germany. He completed his doctorate in mathematics in 1936. He studied under Erhard Schmidt.

Dinghas was not a German and his career during the Nazi years was very difficult. However, after the end of World War II, his luck changed. He became professor of mathematics at the Humboldt University of Berlin in 1947. From 1949 until his death he was a professor of mathematics at the Free University of Berlin and director of the Mathematical Institute there.

Dinghas died on April 19, 1974, in Berlin, Germany.

Work
Dinghas is known for his work in different areas of mathematics including differential equations, functions of a complex variable, functions of several complex variables, measure theory and differential geometry. His most important contribution was his work in function theory, in particular Nevanlinna theory and the growth of subharmonic functions.

Atherinomorus insularum also called Hawaiian silverside or 'iao in Hawaiian is a species of fish in the family Atherinidae endemic to Hawaii.

Description and Biology 
The Hawaiian silverside has two dorsal fins and a prominent lateral stripe, which sets them apart from other baitfish. They can grow up to three and a half inches. They are greenish gray on the back and have a silvery stripe topped by a blue-green line running the length of the body. They disperse to feed on plankton at the surface at night.

Distribution and Habitat 
Atherinomorus insularum are endemic to Hawaii. They are a common schooling fish often found near the surface in tidepools and coastal waters.

Human use and Cultural Significance 
In ancient Hawaii, these fish were sometimes used to rub the face of a human sacrificial victim to make it shine like the eyes of a maneater shark.

The PZL S-1 was a Polish trainer and liaison aircraft of 1945, which remained a prototype. It was the second aircraft built in Poland after World War II.

Design and development
The aircraft was designed by engineer Eugeniusz Stankiewicz, being a teacher in the Aviation School in Zamość. Works started in late 1944, soon after the liberation of eastern Poland, when central and western parts were still occupied by the Germans. The design of a trainer and liaison plane was approved by the Polish military Aviation Command, and Stankiewicz completed documentation in an aircraft factory PZL-Mielec in Mielec (the factory was destroyed by the Germans and at that time existed as repair works only).

There, a prototype was built, utilizing parts of the Soviet Polikarpov Po-2, like an engine with a propeller, wheels and seats, also a construction of a fuselage was similar to the Po-2. The plane, named S-1 (for Stankiewicz), was very simple. It was flown on 15 November 1945, by the Soviet pilot Piotr Kondratyenko. It was the second Polish-designed plane, that flew after the war (the  first was LWD Szpak). Further aircraft were not produced.

The prototype crashed on 14 May 1946 in Warsaw in a bad weather, however its pilot, who was Stankiewicz himself, survived.

Description
Wooden construction braced high-wing (parasol wing) monoplane, conventional in layout. Fuselage built of a frame, plywood and canvas covered. Rectangular wing with rounded tips, two-spar. Crew of two, sitting in tandem, in open cockpits with windshields. Fixed conventional landing gear, with a rear skid. Radial engine M-11D in front, with a Townend ring, two-blade wooden propeller (2.4 m diameter). Fuel tanks 126 L.
