Emirates Flight Training Academy. Emirates Flight Training Academy (EFTA; ), is a pilot-training school based in the United Arab Emirates. Founded in 2017, it is a subsidiary of multinational aviation corporation, The Emirates Group, and its airline division, Emirates.

History
The school was officially opened in 2017 during Dubai Airshow and started with a fleet of six training aircraft. Plans include for a total fleet of 27 aircraft: 22 Cirrus SR22s and five Embraer Phenom 100s.

With its own private airport and campus, the school is located at the edge of Dubai World Central Airport, and will act as the dedicated training center for the country's National Cadet Pilot Programme as well as international students. 
In 2017, the school signed an agreement with American aircraft manufacturer Boeing for collaboration on training curriculum for managing cadet learning and training flight operations.

The Program 
Trainees at the Flight Training Academy undergo pilot training as a first step in a ground training program to obtain an Airline Pilot License (ATPL), and are given English language lessons if required. They then train in the air on the sixth-generation Cirrus SR22 and then Embraer Phenom 100EV jets. This approach differs from the traditional approach followed by most flight schools, where students first train on single-engine light aircraft and then on twin-engine light aircraft. The Academy’s approved approach eliminates the additional step required for training beginners and provides them with more experience in the field of jet aircraft. Students ultimately obtain a Commercial Pilot License for multi-engine aircraft with a specific model, and then an Airline Pilot License. The program generally takes three and a half years if English language lessons are included, and 21 months, if these lessons are not required.

Future Affordable Turbine Engine. The Future Affordable Turbine Engine (FATE) is a US Army program for a 5,000-10,000-shp class turboshaft/turboprop for Future Vertical Lift aircraft and its Joint Multi Role precursor.

Design
To extend range and endurance and to increase hot-and-high payload and performance, it should reduce BSFC by 35%, reduce production/maintenance costs by 45%, improve power-to-weight by 80% and design life by 20% to more than 6,000 hours.

Development
In November 2011, GE was selected for $45 million over five years, to develop technologies including advanced aerodynamics, cooling configurations and improved materials; and rig tests to validate innovative components, leading up to a full system demonstration.

In 2017, following the successful tests of the engine’s compressor with the highest single-spool pressure ratio recorded, combustor with GE's most extensive use of CMCs allowing unprecedented high-temperature capability and weight reduction, and turbine rig tests, the first assembled engine completed testing after running 40 hours, reaching the program goals, before a second prototype began testing in 2018.

Plumber's nightmare. In soft matter physics, the plumber's nightmare is a structure characterized by fully connected, periodic, and topologically nontrivial surfaces.
It consists of two surfaces, each of which is topologically like the surface of the bars of a jungle gym. These two "jungle gyms" are interwoven. It was predicted decades ago that this structure could be thermodynamically favored under certain circumstances.

In 2003 researchers succeeded in making a plumber's nightmare structure using a block copolymer of polyisoprene and polyethylene oxide mixed with aluminum sec-butoxide and a compound containing silicon. The polyisoprene parts formed the "jungle gym", and upon calcining this left a matrix of aluminosilicate.

The term plumber's nightmare became widely known through a publication by David A. Huse and Stanislas Leibler who attribute the name to Sol Gruner.

Other Uses

The Window's 3-D Pipes Screensaver is also known as The Plumber's Nightmare

The Series 'A' Vincent Rapide became known as "The Plumber's Nightmare" due to the mass of external pipework around the engine.

Nessus Attack Scripting Language. The Nessus Attack Scripting Language, usually referred to as NASL, is a scripting language that is used by vulnerability scanners like Nessus and OpenVAS. With NASL specific attacks can be automated, based on known vulnerabilities.

Tens of thousands of plugins have been written in NASL for Nessus and OpenVAS. Files that are written in this language usually get the file extension .nasl. For the exploitation of a zero day attack it is possible for an end user of Nessus or OpenVAS to write custom code in NASL which is executed by these vulnerability scanners.

In earlier versions of Nessus, a binary called nasl or nasl.exe was provided that could interpret NASL code to perform vulnerability scans. In later versions of Nessus, this should be done via an API that is provided by this software.

An example of executing a NASL plugin 'myzeroday.nasl' on Windows, a command such as the following
could be invoked:

An equivalent example of a Linux or UNIX command could look like this:

If the plugin, in this example myzeroday.nasl, is placed in the same directory where other NASL plugins are located, it can also be included in standard scans by Nessus or OpenVAS, via the Web GUI or an API.

Many of the specifications of the formal language are similar to those of the programming language C and the scripting language Perl and those of other languages. Control flow such as the for loop, the if and if-else statements are part of the language and comments are preceded by a hash.

An example of "Hello World" in NASL is:

In the release notes of Nessus 6.10.0 of 1/31/2017, a new NASL compiler for faster plugins was mentioned.

ARSAERO CT 10. The ARSAERO CT 10, also known as the Arsenal/SFECMAS Ars 5501, was a remote-controlled target drone developed by the Arsenal de l'Aéronautique (ARSAERO) for the French Air Force. It was developed as a copy of the German V-1 flying bomb and was used to simulate bombers for training anti-aircraft artillery crews and fighter pilots.

History
The CT 10's design process began in August 1946 with reverse-engineering of V-1 missile stocks captured from the Luftwaffe. It was first launched from the Centre interarmées d'essais d'engins spéciaux missile range near Colomb-Bechar, Algeria, in December 1949 and became operational in 1952. It was mass-produced by Nord in Châtillon and Villeurbanne. More than 400 copies were eventually built. The CT 10 was used primarily by France, though the United Kingdom, Italy, and Sweden used it as well. It was retired from French service during the 1950s in favour of more advanced derivatives such as the CT20 and CT41 but was still in widespread use by the British and Swedish air forces throughout the 1960s.

Design
The CT 10 was ground-launched or air-launched. When ground-launched, it would be propelled down a launch ramp by a pair of solid rockets. When air-launched, it would be released from a LeO 45 bomber. It was then engaged by fighter aircraft or ground-based guns and missiles.

The CT 10's design is largely identical to that of the V-1 missile it was based on. However, there were some important differences between the two:
 The CT 10 was scaled-down from the V-1: it is 6 m long, versus 8.32 m for the V-1.
 The CT 10 was propelled down its launch ramp by a pair of solid rocket boosters, which had more thrust than the liquid-fueled Dampferzeuger ("Steam generator") used to launch the V-1. This allowed the CT 10's launch ramp to be considerably shorter.
 The CT 10 was designed to be recovered, and therefore carried a parachute.
 The CT 10 was radio-guided from a nearby ground station.

Surviving examples
A CT 10 is displayed in the Overlord Museum in Colleville-sur-Mer, France.

ADCIRC. The ADCIRC model is a high-performance, cross-platform numerical ocean circulation model popular in simulating storm surge, tides, and coastal circulation problems.
Originally developed by Drs. Rick Luettich and Joannes Westerink,
the model is developed and maintained by a combination of academic, governmental, and corporate partners, including the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Notre Dame, and the US Army Corps of Engineers.
The ADCIRC system includes an independent multi-algorithmic wind forecast model and also has advanced coupling capabilities, allowing it to integrate effects from sediment transport, ice, waves, surface runoff, and baroclinicity.

Access 
The model is free, with source code made available by request via the website, allowing users to run the model on any system with a Fortran compiler. A pre-compiled Windows version of the model can also be purchased alongside the SMS software. ADCIRC is coded in Fortran, and can be used with native binary, text, or netCDF file formats.

Capabilities 
The model formulation
is based on the shallow water equations, solving the continuity equation (represented in the form of the Generalized Wave Continuity Equation)
and the momentum equations (with advective, Coriolis, eddy viscosity, and surface stress terms included).  ADCIRC utilizes the finite element method in either three-dimensional or two-dimensional depth-integrated form on a triangular unstructured grid with Cartesian or spherical coordinates. It can run in either barotropic or baroclinic modes, allowing inclusion of changes in water density and properties such as salinity and temperature. ADCIRC can be run either in serial mode (e.g. on a personal computer) or in parallel on supercomputers via MPI. The model has been optimized to be highly parallelized, in order to facilitate rapid computation of large, complex problems.

ADCIRC is able to apply several different bottom friction formulations including Manning's n-based bottom drag due to changes in land coverage (such as forests, cities, and seafloor composition), as well as utilize atmospheric forcing data (wind stress and atmospheric pressure) from several sources, and further reduce the strength of the wind forcing due to surface roughness effects.
The model is also able to incorporate effects such as time-varying topography and bathymetry, boundary fluxes from rivers or other sources, tidal potential, and sub-grid scale features like levees. 

ADCIRC is frequently coupled to a wind wave model such as STWAVE, SWAN, or WAVEWATCH III, especially in storm surge applications where wave radiation stress can have important effects on ocean circulation and vice versa. In these applications, the model is able to take advantage of tight coupling with wave models to increase calculation accuracy.

VAL 206. The VAL 206 is one of the VAL series, an automated guideway transit system manufactured by Matra. Because it uses rubber tires, it is suitable for applications that require high acceleration / deceleration.

The 206 classification comes from the fact that the width of the vehicle is . The train is two-car formation. It is unmanned operation, but it can also be operated manually as needed. It was succeeded by the VAL 208.

Overview
Because of automatic operation, the delay is small, the train density can be increased. On the other hand, since this train is basically a two-car train, it is suitable for low-population areas and medium-sized cities.

Interior
Although the vehicle is small, the window is large, so it is a car with open feeling. Air conditioning is not installed. Plastics are widely used for many parts, but doors and handrail are made of stainless steel. The color tone inside the car varies depending on the railway operator.

Traction equipments 
The control system is a chopper control system using a GTO thyristor and drives a direct current motor. The traction motor is body mounted, and the power is transmitted via the Cardan joint and the hypoid gear.

Application strings manager. An application strings manager is a software tool primarily designed to optimize the download and storage of strings files used and produced in software development. It centralizes the management of all the product strings generated and used by an organization to overcome the complexity arising from the diversity of strings types, and their position in the overall content workflow.

Uses 
Application strings manager is a kind of software repository for text files, strings, and their corresponding keys. It can be used to store strings files produced by an organization itself, such as product content strings and UI content strings, or for third-party content which must be treated differently for both technical and workflow reasons.

Uses in software development 
To manage the source files used in software development, organizations typically use revision control. The many source files used in software development are eventually built into the product strings (also known as "strings files") which constitute the components of a software product. Consequently, a software product may comprise hundreds and even thousands of individual product strings which must be managed in order to efficiently maintain a coherent and functional software product. This function of managing the product strings is done by an application strings manager. An application strings manager can be thought of as being to strings what revision control is to source files.

Strings managers 
Some factors and features that may be offered by a strings manager include:

 Files manager to store files locally or on network storage
 Workflow 
 High availability through having a redundant set of repository managers work against the same database or file storage
 User restrictions native to the strings manager or integrated with other organizational systems such as LDAP or Single Sign-On servers
