Omega Aerial Refueling Services. Omega Aerial Refueling Services Incorporated is an American aviation company that provides aerial refueling services for military customers.

History
Omega developed the first commercial aerial refueling aircraft in 1999 and has provided aerial refueling services under contract to the United States Navy since 2001. The company has also been engaged to support Royal Australian Air Force training exercises due to delays in delivery of KC-30A tankers. In addition, Omega Air Refueling states it has been contracted to support deployments by the Royal Air Force and the Royal Canadian Air Force.

In October 2011, the company took delivery of three additional Boeing 707-338Cs from the Royal Australian Air Force.

On April 22, 2015, one of Omega's KC-707s refueled a Northrop Grumman X-47B. The US Navy told the media this was the first time an unmanned aerial vehicle had been refueled in flight.

In November 2019, it was announced that two KDC-10 Tankers from the Royal Netherlands Air Force would be acquired, and as such additional capacity would be added, including 'boom capability' in addition to the existing 'hose and drogue' of the existing fleet. The aircraft were bought in 1995 by the RNLAF from Martinair as civilian DC-10 passenger airliners. The planes were converted to tanker aircraft. Because the planes were getting older and the RNLAF bought two A330 MRTT from Airbus, they sold their older tankers to Omega Air Refueling.

The first of the two tankers that were sold, T-264 Prins Bernard, departed on Monday, November 4, 2019, from Eindhoven Air Base in the Netherlands.

Fleet
, Omega Aerial Refueling Services operates the following aircraft:

Omega currently operates 2 converted Boeing KC-707-338Cs (N707MQ and N707GF) and 3 converted McDonnell Douglas KDC-10s (N974VV, N264DE, and N235UL).

Accidents and incidents
On May 18, 2011, Omega Aerial Refueling Services Flight 70, a Boeing KC-707 tanker (registered as N707AR) was destroyed after it crashed on takeoff from Naval Base Ventura County in California. All three crew members survived.

Artelius. is a Nintendo Family Computer action role-playing video game that was released exclusively in Japan on November 13, 1987.

Story
An advanced civilization once flourished in a fictional solar system. One day, a black hole appeared and sucked everyone who lived there into another dimension. This parallel universe came to be known as Artelius. Ruled by the diabolical king Sarbelor, he controls a machine that has split the universe into spaces filled with asteroid belts.

A cyborg has been built by a scientist named Dr. Rado in order to defeat Sarbelor; only he has been entrusted with this mission to save Artelius from the evil king's reign.

Gameplay

Players begin the game by customizing and modifying the traits of their characters. Warp points allow players to travel across the universe. On the map, the red dots are always bad guys while the blue dots indicate space colonies, where players can rest and stock up on supplies. Each resting spot has at least two doors or a warp point. Battles are done randomly and from a first-person perspective. Winning will earn the player valuable experience points that will make the player stronger and advance in levels.

The players attacks are determined by strength while their defensive power is determined by the strength of the shield. Having a high level of agility allows for more frequent successes in running away from unwanted battles. The laser beam is the best weapon in the game; it can eventually be upgraded to a "hyper magnum" gun that is stronger than a fully powered-up missile or bazooka weapon.

Research Experiences for Teachers. Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) is a National Science Foundation (NSF) program designed to improve science educators by exposing them to research.  The program is closely modeled after the NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates program.  Several NSF directorates have their own RET programs including the Directorate of Biological Sciences (BIO), the Directorate for Engineering (ENG), and the Directorate of Computer Information Science and Engineering (CISE).  The later two form a joint RET program.  Like many NSF programs, the RET program especially encourages the participation of educators from underrepresented groups.  In addition, the NSF encourages potential RET host sites to seek out teachers from impoverished school districts.

Directorate of Biological Sciences (BIO) RET Program

The NSF BIO RET program is designed to increase the knowledge of K-12 science educators.  One major objective of the BIO RET program is to encourage participants to incorporate their research skills into their class structures.  The BIO RET program is intended to support up to two teachers per host site at any given time.

Directorates of Engineering and Computer Information Science and Engineering (ENG/CISE) RET Program

The NSF ENG/CISE RET program is designed to increase the general knowledge and research skills of science educators.  However, unlike the BIO RET program, the ENG/CISE RET program will support community college professors in addition to K-12 educators.  Also, in contrast to the BIO RET program, the ENG/CISE RET program encourages host institutions to recruit no less than two teachers at a given time.  Funding for any RET host institution may not exceed $500,000 over three years and may not exceed $10,000 per teacher.  In accordance the NSF's concern for ethics, $4,000 per year may be granted to support ethics training.  The ENG/CISE allocated $5,500,000 for the fiscal year 2011 to support RETs.  

Participating educators are provided with a stipend and may be reimbursed for travel and living expenses.

Lotus DataLens. Lotus Development's DataLens, originally known as Blueprint, was a standardized system for database queries used in a number of Lotus products, notably 1-2-3. It provided drivers for a number of common data sources, including a variety of mainframe SQL servers, microcomputer database files of various sorts, and even flat-file systems. Drivers from 3rd parties were also available.

Unlike the better-known ODBC, DataLens did not use SQL in the query interface. The API was based on a variety of data structures that were interpreted by the database drivers into their own internal query format - including SQL in some cases. In contrast, ODBC used SQL as its basic interface, and interpreted and translated it in the driver for those data sources that did not use SQL.

Lotus also released two user-oriented query builders, the DOS-based Query Builder which could interact with DataLens sources but was not built on it, and the Windows-based Data Query Assistant (DQA) which was built directly on DataLens.

Barton Creek Bridge. Barton Creek Bridge is an early example of a cable stayed bridge; it spans Barton Creek in Huckabay, Texas. Built 1890 by Runyon Bridge Company, it was bypassed and abandoned in the 1930s and now lies in ruins. The bridge was brought to the attention of the Historic American Engineering Record in 2000, when it was found to bear a striking resemblance to the Bluff Dale Suspension Bridge, which had at the time, been considered the only example of a Runyon patent cable-stayed bridge. It has a total length of , with the main span being .

T.H. Agriculture & Nutrition Co.. T.H. Agriculture & Nutrition Company (THAN) was a California chemical company. It operated a pesticide-formulating facility from 1962 until 1981, and is now a Superfund site. Other companies formulated pesticides on the site from 1950 to 1962. During the 1950s and 1960s, on-site landfills were used for disposal of wastes generated from site operations, including pesticides from cleaning equipment. Waste was spilled on the surface of the site and left in piles on the ground. Sampling at the site conducted by the California Department of Health Services (CDHS) detected pesticides in soil and groundwater. The site was listed on the Superfund National Priorities List in 1986.

Cleanup activities at the site were completed in 2003 and included soil vapor extraction; demolition and removal of various structures; excavation and management of impacted soils; construction of a low-permeability containment cover to minimize the potential for movement of residual chemicals from Site soils to other media; implementation of access controls and land use restrictions; demonstration and maintenance of appropriate financial assurances; monitored natural attenuation of groundwater; provision of as-needed alternative drinking water supplies; and performance of ongoing operation, maintenance, and monitoring activities. Approximately 30,000 people live within 3 miles of the site, with the closest resident being 500 feet from the site. Approximately 35,000 people depend on groundwater as a source of drinking water.

Clean up
Cleanup activities at the site began in 1981 and were completed in 2003 and included soil vapor extraction; demolition and removal of various structures; excavation and management of impacted soils; construction of a low-permeability containment cover to minimize the potential for movement of residual chemicals from Site soils to other media; implementation of access controls and land use restrictions; demonstration and maintenance of appropriate financial assurances; monitored natural attenuation of groundwater; provision of as-needed alternative drinking water supplies; and performance of ongoing operation, maintenance, and monitoring activities. The remedy for the site has been implemented, and the site was delisted in 2006 from the EPA's site.

Small, sealed, transportable, autonomous reactor. Small, sealed, transportable, autonomous reactor (SSTAR) is a proposed lead-cooled nuclear reactor being primarily researched and developed in the United States by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. 
It is designed as a fast breeder reactor that is passively safe. 
It has a self-contained fuel source of uranium-235 and uranium-238 which will be partly consumed by fast-neutron fission and, more importantly, converted into more fissile material ("breeding" plutonium).
It should have an operative life of 30 years, providing a constant power source between 10 and 100 megawatts.

The 100 megawatt version is expected to be 15 meters high by 3 meters wide, and weigh 500 tonnes. A 10 megawatt version is expected to weigh less than 200 tonnes. To obtain the desired 30 year life span, the design calls for a movable neutron reflector to be placed surrounding part of a column of fuel. The reflector's slow downward travel through the entire length of the column would cause the fuel to be burned from the top of the column to the bottom. Because the unit will be sealed, it is expected that a breeder reaction will be used to further extend the life of the fuel.

They are being researched as a possible replacement for today's light water reactors and as a possible design for use in developing countries (which would use the reactor for several decades and then return the entire unit to the manufacturing country).

A prototype was scheduled for manufacture in 2015. However its development seems to have ended.

Vava II. MY Vava II is the 97-metre superyacht commissioned by Swiss entrepreneur Ernesto Bertarelli in 2007. Built by Devonport Yachts at Plymouth, England, the hull was built by sister shipyard Appledore Shipbuilders, both being owned by Babcock Marine.  She was launched on 2 December 2009 and then taken to Devonport for the accommodation section to be lifted onto the ship. She was fully completed in February 2012.  When constructed she was claimed to be the largest British-built superyacht and was the last yacht built by Devonport Yachts following its acquisition by Pendennis Shipyard. The yacht's designers were Hampshire-based firm Redman Whitely Dixon (exterior) and the French interior designer Remi Tessier.

Vava II has a length of , breadth of  and draught of .  The yacht is powered by four MTU engines, two of 12cyl (type 12V4000M71) of 2610 bhp each, and two of 16cyl (type 16V4000M71) of 3351 bhp each, totalling 11922 bhp.  They are geared to twin propellers and produce a service speed of 18.5 knots.

The yacht, previously known as Project-55, was christened on 10 September 2011 and sailed on her maiden voyage in early 2012. Vava II'''s registered owner is Lighthouse Marine Ltd of St Helier, Jersey and  she flies the Cayman Islands flag with port of registry George Town.

The Bertarellis' previous yacht was Vava'', a 47-metre motor yacht built by Royal Van Lent/Feadship, Netherlands in 1996.

Swan-class ship-sloop. The Swan class were built as a 14-gun class of ship sloops for the Royal Navy, although an extra two guns were added soon after completion.

Design
The class was designed by the Surveyor of the Navy, John Williams, and two vessels to this design (Swan and Kingfisher) were ordered in January 1766. Twenty-three more were ordered to the same design between 1773 and 1779; they formed the 'standard' ship sloop design of the British Navy during the American Revolutionary War, during which eleven of them were lost. Surviving vessels went on to serve during the French Revolutionary War and Napoleonic War.

The design provided for 16 gunports (8 per side, excluding the bridle-ports) but one pair was initially left unoccupied, and the ships were always rated at 14 guns. However an eighth pair of guns was added from 1780 onwards to utilise the vacant ports, without any change in the nominal rating.

The Swan class sloops were unusually attractive for the type of vessel. Not only did they have sleek hull lines but they also carried an unusual amount of decoration for their size. They were built just before the Admiralty issued orders that all vessels (especially lesser rates and unrated vessels) should have minimal decoration and carvings to save on costs, due to the seemingly ever-continuing war with France and other nations.

Construction

Following the initial 1766 order for two ships, a second pair was ordered in 1773 (Cygnet and Atalanta) and a further five in 1775 (Pegasus in April, Fly in August, and Swift, Dispatch and Fortune in October); all these were built in the Royal Dockyards. Another five were contracted in November 1775 to be built by commercial shipbuilders (Hound, Hornet, Vulture, Spy and Cormorant), and a further pair during 1776 (Zebra and Cameleon). Another two were ordered from the Royal Dockyards in January 1777 (Fairy and Nymph) and a final seven from commercial constructors over the following 30 months (Savage, Fury, Delight and Thorn during 1777, Bonetta and Shark during 1778,  and Alligator in 1779).
