Shallow water drilling. Shallow water drilling is the process of oil and gas exploration and production in less than 150 meters (500 feet) of water. 

Shallow water drilling differs from deepwater drilling in several key aspects. Shallow water rigs have legs that reach the bottom of the sea floor and have blowout preventers (BOPs) above the surface of the water that are accessible for inspection, maintenance and repair, and can be controlled either remotely or manually in case of an emergency.  Shallow water wells primarily produce natural gas, and are drilled in known areas and mature reservoirs.

Following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the U.S Department of the Interior imposed a moratorium on all offshore drilling, both deepwater and shallow water. The ban on shallow water drilling was lifted in May 2010. However, new regulations imposed on shallow water drilling have slowed the issuance of permits for new shallow water wells. Shallow water operators have called this permit slowdown a "de facto moratorium" that has forced them to idle rig workers and decrease production.

It produces titanium products using the Kroll process, and also produces silicon products.

In 2010, increased demand for titanium led to increased supply capacity, but Osaka Titanium Technologies was still able to raise prices due to continuing strong demand from the aviation industry.

The company is part of the Sumitomo Group, one of the largest Japanese keiretsu.

History
The company was founded in 1937 as Osaka Special Steel Manufacturing. Sumitomo Metal Industries took a stake in 1952, and work began on titanium. Also in 1952, the company changed its name to Osaka Titanium Co., Ltd. Kobe Steel took an equity stake in the company in 1953.

In 2002, the company was named Sumitomo Titanium Corporation and was listed on the first section of Tokyo Stock Exchange, and in 2007, it was renamed Osaka Titanium Technologies.

Gordon Burford. Gordon Burford (3 August 1919 – 12 March 2010) was an Australian model aircraft engine designer and manufacturer. He was Australia's premier model engine builder. He produced thousands of engines of many different designs including the GeeBee, Sabre, GloChief and Taipan brands. Gordon was also a respected aeromodeler starting with Free Flight at a young age prior to World War II before pioneering in Control line after the war.

After the war ended, importation into Australia of model engines was difficult and expensive due to Australia's remoteness to the rest of the world. Gordon saw an opportunity of manufacturing his own engines for the Australian market. His first engine, produced in 1946, was the Gee Bee, a 5cc diesel motor based on the Sparey 5cc diesel design that had been recently published in England.

What was to follow was a long pedigree of diesel and glow engines from 1cc up to 10cc displacement until Gordon retired in 1974 and handed the business to his son Peter. Gordon then directed his energy into the interest of Australian aeromodelers by taking on the position of Federal Secretary and Treasurer of the Model Aeronautical Association of Australia (MAAA). 
 
Gordon Burford died on 12 March 2010, following a fall at his home in Currumbin Queensland.

Engines Manufactured

Gee Bee 
Gee Bee  Gordon's first engines.

Sabre 
Sabre  was the name Gordon chose for his engines, but was threatened with legal action in 1956 by North American Aviation who built the F-86 Sabre jet. Gordon decided not to use the name anymore, rather than go through a costly legal battle.

Glo Chief 
Glo Chief was the name originally chosen as a replacement for Sabre for the larger Glow plug engines. Gordon later decided to use Taipan for all his engine designs.

Taipan 

Taipan is the brand name that is synonymous with the name Gordon Burford. Hundreds of thousands of these engines were produced and sold worldwide.

Taipan Marine Engines
A line of Taipan diesel and glow marine engines were also produced in various sizes and configurations over the years. These are not detailed here. Details about these and all other Burford engines can be found in the book, Gordon Burford's Model Engines by Maris Dislers.

Bug Labs. Bug Labs is a technology company headquartered in New York City that began by developing and selling open-source hardware peripherals for rapid prototyping of electronic devices. The company, founded in April 2006, developed a Lego-like hardware platform that technology enthusiasts, hobbyists and engineers used to create their own digital devices. The company develops software and firmware in order to connect devices to the internet, and has partnerships with several Fortune 100 companies, including mobile phone operators.

Bug Labs has produced data sharing utility for the Internet of Things called dweet.io. dweet.io is a messaging service for devices. It requires no setup or sign in, sending data from a home device to the cloud by "dweeting" it with a HAPI-REST web API. dweet.io can be experimented with using their API console.

To coincide with dweet.io, Bug Labs next released a visualization tool called Freeboard. The purpose of this tool is similar to dweet.io; to make it simple to connect devices and view the data they provide. Users can connect HTTP, JSON, or a dweet-connected device to the tool and view real-time data in seconds.

EMARSS. The US Army is to modify a government-owned Quick Reaction Capability Liberty Project aircraft into an Enhanced Medium Altitude Reconnaissance and Surveillance System - Multi-Intelligence (EMARSS-M) platform under a USD31.8 million contract it was announced on March 31, 2015.

Contract
The contract, which was awarded to L-3 Communications in Texas, will see a Beechcraft King Air 350ER-based MC-12W aircraft modified to a similar standard as the Boeing MC-12S EMARSS counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) platform, but with some additional capabilities. Work was scheduled to be completed by 30 September 2016.

Description
EMARSS is a manned multi-intelligence airborne intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance (AISR) system that provides a persistent capability to detect, locate, classify/identify, and track surface targets in day/night, near-all-weather conditions with a high degree of timeliness and accuracy. The EMARSS system consists of a King Air 350ER aircraft equipped with an electro-optic/infra-red (EO/IR) sensor, communications intelligence collection system, an aerial precision geolocation system, line-of-sight tactical and beyond line-of-sight communications suites, two Distributed Common Ground System-Army (DCGS-A) workstations and a self-protection suite.

History and planning
The first EMARSS prototype made its maiden flight in June 2013, and while EMARSS was due to already be in service, programmatic protests and inter-service differences over ownership have delayed its introduction.

The Milestone C production decision was approved in August 2014. The army has disclosed its initial plans to field 12 EMARSS (plus options for 20 more), although it in unclear precisely how many of these will be converted MC-12Ws and how many will be new-builds (of the 42 MC-12W 'Project Liberty' aircraft procured by the US government, IHS Jane's believes between 8 and 12 could eventually be brought up to the EMARSS-M standard).

As originally set out, the 18-month MC-12W to EMARSS-M modification contract will include a 12-month system design and integration phase followed by a six-month government airworthiness and operational testing period.

Under the present US Army strategy, there will be EMARSS aircraft, MC-12Ws brought up to the EMARSS-M configuration, and at least two other platform types based on upgraded Quick Reaction Capability King Airs or QRC King Air capabilities that were originally developed for Afghanistan.

SS Dresden (1896). SS Dresden was a British passenger ship which operated, as such, from 1897 to 1915. She is known as the place of the 1913 disappearance of German engineer Rudolf Diesel, inventor of the diesel engine.  The ship was built in 1897 by the Earle Company at Hull for the Great Eastern Railway. She operated on the North Sea route between Harwich and the Hook of Holland. She was renamed HMS Louvain in 1915 and was used by the Royal Navy in World War I. until her loss in 1918.

Diesel's Disappearance

On 29 September 1913 Rudolf Diesel, German engineer who invented the diesel engine, boarded Dresden at Antwerp, Belgium on his way to a meeting in London. He retired to his cabin about 22:00 with a request to be called at 06:15 in the morning, but he was not seen alive again. Later a Dutch ship found a body floating in the sea and from the items and clothes recovered the remains were identified as Diesel's.

Royal Navy
In 1915 Dresden was taken over by the British Admiralty as an armed boarding steamer and renamed HMS Louvain. On 21 January 1918, she was torpedoed by the Imperial German Navy submarine  in the Aegean Sea with the loss of seven officers and 217 men. There were only 16 survivors.

The dead included 70 Maltese naval ratings, which made the loss of the ship Malta's largest incident of loss of life during the war. A Naval and Dockyard Families Help Society was set up to help the families of the Maltese victims of the sinking.

Damn Vulnerable Linux. Damn Vulnerable Linux (DVL) is a discontinued Linux distribution geared toward computer security students. It functions as a tool for observing and studying vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel and popular user space software. It is available as a live CD, and can be run through a virtual machine within the host operating system.

History 

DVL was created by Thorsten Schneider, the founder of the TeutoHack laboratory at Bielefeld University, to use as a training system for his university lectures.

Design 

DVL is a SLAX-based distribution, and uses the Slackware .tgz package management system. It uses outdated versions of various software, to deliberately make it the most vulnerable operating system ever.

DVL is distributed as a live CD, allowing it to be booted directly from the distribution medium without installation on a PC or within a virtual machine.

Nittele Tower. The  is a structural expressionist office building located in Minato, Tokyo, Japan. It houses the headquarters of Nippon Television. The 32-storey building has a height of 192 metres. Construction was finished in 2003. 

As a part of the design and aesthetics of the exterior, the building has 2 large sculpture pieces attached one either side. Majority of people would assume it was decorative but in fact it was designed by Richard Rogers Partnership to assist the building from wind loads and during earthquakes.

“Nittele Tower has four different types of damping devices installed, 2 TMD’s for habitability under wind induced vibrations, 32 oil dampers for wind induced vibrations and weak/ medium class earthquakes, 64 unbonded bracing dampers and 312 link beam dampers for extremely strong earthquakes.”  (Advanced structural wind engineering, 2013, Springer, Tokyo ; Heidelberg.)

Dubai Pearl. Dubai Pearl () was a 73-storey, , tall residential skyscraper project situated along Al Sufouh Road in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The project was first announced in 2002. Construction was on hold from 2006 to 2022. As per reports, demolition work is ongoing at the site as of January 23rd, 2023. The building would have consisted of four mixed-use towers connected together at the base and by a sky bridge at the top.  The structural design was carried out by the Dubai-based engineering firm e-Construct, and the project would have cost $4 billion (Dh14.6 billion). Had it been completed, Dubai Pearl would have accommodated 9,000 residents and its commercial sector would have employed 12,000 people.

Investment issues 
Dubai Pearl was initially launched by Omnix Group in 2002. The project was then acquired by Tecom Group in 2007 and sold to Abu Dhabi Al-Fahim Group later that year, but progress stalled on the project since then. In 2014, Hong Kong-based Chow Tai Fook Endowment Industry Investment Development (CTFE) reportedly bought a $1.9bn share of the project, promising to restart the project later that year, though that never happened.

Demolition and redevelopment proposals 
In July 2016, some witnesses reported on Twitter, showing images of the construction cranes on the project site being removed, and the complex remains abandoned.

Canadian businessman Michael Henderson has proposed Project Moon, a  replica of the Moon paid for by Moon World Resorts Inc., which he co-founded. To be located on top of a circular  building, it would include a 4000-room hotel and an area seating 10,000, and possibly a casino, and would give people the experience that simulates walking on the Moon. It would be lighted at night and the amount of light could vary, as with phases of the Moon.
