Aviakit Vega. The Aviakit Véga is an ultralight aircraft seating two in side-by-side configuration.  It was designed in France in the late 1990s to be easily constructed by amateurs from kits and was offered with a choice of three engines and of tricycle or conventional undercarriages.

Design and development
Roland Prevot started Aviakit to produce kits for home building of his two-seat, side-by-side configuration, ultralight design, originally named the Aviakit Hermès. It was intended as an ultralight that could be quite quickly (300 hours) assembled by inexperienced constructors.  In September 2001 production rights were acquired by PJB Aerocomposite and the aircraft renamed the Aviakit Véga 2000 or Aerocomposite Véga 2000 but the arrangement ran into financial difficulties and in June 2004 Aviakit were reformed to produce what has since been known as the Aviakit Véga 3000.

The Hermès was built from a mixture of wood and composite material but the later Véga models are largely composite aircraft.  The single spar, low wing is straight tapered, with 5° of dihedral and fitted with flaps. The fuselage is wide over the wing to accommodate the seating under a prominent, two piece canopy. One of three different four cylinder, horizontally opposed engines may be fitted: the 80 hp (60 kW) Jabiru 2200, the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL or the 99 hp (74 kW) Rotax 912ULS. The standard propeller is two-bladed, though there are alternatives.  Behind the cabin the fuselage becomes slender. The Hermès had a strut braced cruciform tail and at least one Véga had a braced T-tail; later aircraft have a cantilever tailplane set low on the fuselage.  Since 1998 the rudder has carried a trim tab.  Beneath the tail there is a dorsal fin. The Véga has a fixed, cantilever undercarriage which may be of tricycle or conventional layout. The mainwheels have hydraulic brakes and may be enclosed within speed fairings.

Operational history
Thirty five Aviakit Hermès kits were produced before the Aerocomposite take-over, fourteen appearing in the 2010 European registers.  These also show thirty seven Végas, all but one Aviakit Végas with just one Aerocomposite Véga.  Where the model is given, most Végas are 2000s, with only two 3000s.

Vegas were exhibited at the 2001 Paris Salon and at Aero '05, held in Friedrichshafen in April 2005.

Variants

Euromir. Euromir was an international space programme in the 1990s. Between the Russian Federal Space Agency and the European Space Agency (ESA), it would bring European astronauts to the Mir space station.

Euromir was part of a drive in the early 1990s to recruit and train European astronauts for the then-planned International Space Station (ISS). Trips on the US Space Shuttle and the Russia Mir space station would give ESA astronauts experience in space (ESA's Columbus Precursor Flights programme) and help all parties learn to have experience in international cooperation.

ESA's 1992 intake of astronauts were trained up, with two being sent to on Shuttle missions. Four were selected for Mir and an agreement was signed to train them further at the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre. In 1993, a contract for two flights was signed, with Ulf Merbold and Thomas Reiter being the prime candidates for 1994 and 1995, respectively. Pedro Duque and Christer Fuglesang were chosen as backups. They were trained on Russian language and the systems of Soyuz and Mir.

Merbold and Reiter flew on EuroMir 94 (Soyuz TM-20/Soyuz TM-19) and EuroMir 95 (Soyuz TM-22), respectively. During Reiter's mission, he performed two spacewalks.

Further processing cost. Further processing cost is the cost incurred to make joint products ready for further use or sale after the production process' split-off point.

Example 

Timber sawing produces different joint products as outputs, e.g. grade A and B lumber and scrap wood. Scrap wood can be further processed into wood chips and wood pulp but doing so will let the company incur further costs, i.e. further processing costs.

Russian System of Disaster Management. All-Russian Comprehensive System Information and Warning the Population in Crowded Places (; in acronym ОКСИОН) is Russia's complex systems for monitoring, reporting and alerts. It was created in the framework of the Federal Target Program "Risk reduction and mitigation of natural and man-made disasters in the Russian Federation up to 2010". In May 2011, 596 OKSION terminal facilities in 37 data centers were built and put into operation. 2590 Plasmas and 1035 devices, such as "running line" were established.
 
The whole complex is developed and managed by an entity called Integrated Emergency Warning Systems for the Population () known in acronym OOO KSEON (). 
 
The system is divided into components dealing with on-street public notification (PUON) and at points located on the premises (pions). They consist of a large plasma or LCD screens, cameras, sound-amplifying equipment, and equipment for radiation and chemical control (PRHK). The system includes mobile complexes for informing and warning the population known as MKION (), the system for protection against natural and man-made threats, informing and warning the population on transport known as SZIONT () as well as the Regional Automated System of Centralized Notification of the Population () known in acronym R.A.S.TS.O (). The OKSION system has 4 levels: federal, interregional, regional and municipal. In 2023-2024, more than 10.5 thousand messages with emergency information were sent using the OKSION system through the mobile application of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia.

Immeuble Clarté. Immeuble Clarté is an apartment building in Geneva designed by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret starting from 1928 and built in 1931–32. It has eight stories comprising 45 free plan units of diverse configurations and sizes. It is one of Le Corbusier's key early projects in which he explored the principles of modernist architecture in apartment buildings, which later led to the Unité d'Habitation design principle.

After it escaped demolition in the 1960s, the building was first renovated in the 1970s. After being again threatened with demolition in the early 1980s, in 1986 it was listed as a historic monument. In July 2016, the building and several other works by Le Corbusier were inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Avro International Aerospace. Avro International Aerospace was a British aircraft manufacturer formed in 1993 by British Aerospace to consolidate production of the British Aerospace 146 at Woodford Aerodrome near Manchester. The company produced new variants of the 146 with updated engines and avionics as the Avro RJ70, Avro RJ85 and Avro RJ100 regional jets.

British Aerospace decided to split out some of its commercial aircraft activities into separate businesses and as a result Avro International was created, using the name of a predecessor company Avro. The company was to be set up as a 50/50 joint venture with the Taiwan Aerospace Corporation, which was to inject £120 million into the new company. It was the intention to set up a second production line in Taiwan but the finance was not available and the deal collapsed. British Aerospace decided to continue without outside investment due to the cost savings realised with the closure of the BAe 146 production line at Hatfield Aerodrome and the consolidation of production at Woodford.

In 1995 an agreement was signed to create a multi-national consortium named Aero International (Regional) (AI(R)) with the Franco-Italian Avions de Transport Regional (ATR) in 1996, to be based at Toulouse. As well as Avro it would also include the other British Aerospace regional aircraft division "Jetstream Aircraft" of Prestwick; Avro continued to build the regional jet family at Woodford but they were marketed under the AIR branding. AI(R) was disbanded only two years later.

Jacob Matijevic. Jacob (Richard) Matijevic, also known as "Jake" Matijevic, (3 November 1947 – 20 August 2012) was an American NASA engineer of Croatian origin who worked on Mars Exploration Rovers.  Dr. Matijevic was involved in developing the "Sojourner", "Spirit", "Opportunity" and "Curiosity" rovers.  For his contributions to the rover projects, NASA named several landmarks on the planet Mars (including "Matijevic Hill" and "Jake Matijevic" rock) after him.

Matijevic was born and grew up in Chicago, Illinois and graduated from Mount Carmel High School.  In 1969, he received a bachelor's degree in mathematics from the Illinois Institute of Technology, and, in 1973, earned a Ph.D. degree in mathematics from the University of Chicago under the supervision of Irving Kaplansky.

In 1981, Matijevic began working at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, as a control systems engineer. In 1986, he worked in the telerobotics field and later, in 1992, began work with the Mars Sojourner rover. This rover was delivered to Mars by the Pathfinder spacecraft in 1996.

Afterwards, Matijevic helped develop the "Spirit" and "Opportunity" rovers that began exploring Mars in 2004.  He also helped develop the "Curiosity" rover that landed on Mars in August 2012, just two weeks before his death.

After his death, NASA decided to name a Mars hill, "Matijevic Hill", encountered by the "Opportunity" rover, and also a Mars rock, "Jake Matijevic", encountered by the "Curiosity" rover, in his honor for his many contributions to the Mars rover projects over the years.

Crew boat. A crew boat, also called a crewboat, crew transfer vessel, fast support vessel, fast supply vessel or fast intervention supply vessel, is a vessel specialized in the transport of offshore support personnel, deck cargo, and below-deck cargo such as fuel and potable water to and from offshore installations such as oil platforms, drilling rigs, drill and dive ships or wind farms.

Crew boats range in size from small,  vessels working on bays, sounds and inland waterways to  vessels that work as much as  offshore. Crew boats typically are constructed of aluminum and offshore vessels are most often powered by four-six turbo-charged diesel engines and propelled by conventional ship's screws or water jets.

In the United States, crew boats may carry any number of passengers up to the maximum noted on the vessel's United States Coast Guard certificate of inspection. For most offshore crew boats, the maximum number of passengers, accommodated in airline-style seats, is between 50 and 100.

In the Persian Gulf, crew boats often range from 18 m through to 50 m. A common size is the 42 m crew boat.

Crew boats typically are crewed at any given time by two licensed captains who each stand 12-hour watches, a deckhand or ordinary seaman, and an unlicensed engineer who also is responsible for some deck duties during his or her watch.

Crew members live aboard the vessel during their assigned rotations of duty (14-,21- and 28-day rotations are common in the United States), called "hitches" in the marine transportation industry.

Offshore crew boats are equipped with full galleys, dining areas, heads with showers, and staterooms for the crew. Overnight accommodations for passengers usually are not provided aboard crew boats.

Notable crew boats

Ms. Netty, a  crew boat delivered to Gulf Offshore Logistics by builder Gulf Craft in 2012, is reportedly the world's largest monohull crew boat. Ms. Netty boasts  of clear deck space and can carry  of water and  of transferable fuel, as well as 74 passengers. Ms. Netty boasts a top speed of 33 knots.

Seacor Cheetah, a  catamaran was delivered by Gulf Craft to Seacor Holdings, Inc., in March 2008. This crew boat offers a top speed in excess of 40 knots and can carry up to 150 passengers, as well as  of deck cargo.

Mr. Steven, a  crew boat that is equipped with a net to attempt to recover the payload fairing used in SpaceX rocket launches.

Tamimi 6, a  crew boat delivered to High Seas Marine & Industrial by Dubai, UAE builder Grandweld in 2021, won the award from Baird Maritime Awards for Best OSV - Medium Crewboat in 2021.
