ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - A plane was reported missing near Nome late Thursday afternoon, according to officials.

Jim West, volunteer fire and ambulance chief in Nome, said a plane went down with 10 people onboard.

The plane — a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan aircraft owned by Bering Air — was reported to have been flying from Unalakleet to Nome, according to the Nome Volunteer Fire Department.

The flight took off from Unalakleet at 2:37 p.m., according to Bering Air Director of Operations David Olson.

Data from FlightRadar shows a Bering Air flight last reporting info at 3:16 p.m. over the Norton Sound.

The White Mountain fire chief, Jack Adams, told Alaska’s News Source that the plane disappeared from the radar somewhere along the coast of Nome to Topkok. He also said they have crews actively searching a roughly 30-mile stretch in that area.

“They’re prepared to be out all night, they will search here until they find them or somebody else finds them,” Adams said. “If they don’t find anything, we’ll probably rally another crew to go and help.”

Adams said the sea ice is “kind of jumbled” and hard to traverse, so the ground crews are traveling on the Iditarod trail to search

Four Italian Eurofighters landed in Malbork, Poland, on February 13, ready to replace the Italian F-35 jets and continue NATO's enhanced air policing.

"With the continuous control of the mission of our F-35 units, we have proven Italy's ability to support NATO with state-of-the-art air policing means on the eastern flank," said Colonel Antonio Vergallo, commander of the Air Task Force of the 32ª Wing and, in a few days, of the Air Task Force of the 4ª Wing that will ensure improved air policing from Malbork. "We also highlight the versatility of the Italian Air Force in operating the Eurofighters from a base that was used by the F-35s in an deployed environment. The true integration of fifth-generation fighters in action!" he added.

Since November, Italy had deployed 150 Italian Air Force men operating four of its F-35s in Malbork. The Italian Eurofighters have arrived to continue the reinforced NATO Air Policing mission in Poland and will protect the skies on the eastern flank with Polish and other Allied combat planes in the coming months.

Talismãs nos textos Kunta

Uma tabela de sete por sete contendo símbolos às vezes chamados de “os sete selos de Salomão”, com cada linha deslocada por um caractere. Sīdi Mu hammad al-Kuntī, Al-Tarāʾif wa’l-talāʾid min karāmāt al-shaykhayn al-wālida wa’l-wālid, Manuscrits Orientaux, Arabe 6755, BnF, fol. 208b.

Instrumentalizar a ciência das letras e nomes frequentemente envolvia escrevê-los ou inscrevê-los em várias superfícies (papel, tabletes de chumbo, tigelas de vidro, muros da cidade, etc.). Essa prática reúne vários outros termos em um campo semântico combinado. Por exemplo, quando corporificados na escrita ou inscrição, as letras e nomes são chamados de “as figuras” ou “as formas” (al-ashkāl) e podem ser usados ​​na construção de talismãs (al-tilasmāt). Ao discutir a criação de formas e talismãs poderosos, Sidi Muhammad faz referências repetidas ao uso de tabelas (jadāwil). Essas “tabelas” são tabelas preenchidas com números, letras e símbolos. Em um exemplo do Tarāʾif wa’l-talāʾid, Sidi Muhammad fornece instruções para usar uma mesa e um talismã para tratar uma pessoa sob ataque de um feiticeiro sugador de sangue. Ele diz ao leitor para escrever uma série de versos corânicos (4:141, 17:45–46, 83:36 e 60:13) junto com uma certa tabela em dois pedaços de papel, e então “colocar um deles no fogo e fumigar [a fumaça] em seu nariz e pendurar o outro em [seu corpo]… Então Deus Altíssimo o curará com seu poder” (2:189). Cópias manuscritas do Tarāʾif wa’l-talāʾid fornecem a tabela necessária, um quadrado de sete por sete contendo um conjunto específico de símbolos, com cada linha deslocada por um caractere. Esses sete caracteres foram identificados em manuscritos islâmicos e judaicos desde o século XIII, onde às vezes são identificados como o maior nome de Deus.

Em muitos casos, a tabela também é um quadrado mágico (wafq, pl. awfāq) — uma construção algébrica específica de quadrados subdivididos em que todas as colunas, linhas e diagonais somam o mesmo número. Tratados matemáticos em árabe detalhando a construção de quadrados mágicos datam do século X e, mais tarde, foram incorporados aos tratados neoplatônicos medievais sobre talismãs e astrologia. Em relação ao funcionamento dos quadrados mágicos, Sidi Muhammad cita seu pai explicando que Deus “vinculou os administradores da existência [al-tadabburāt al-kawniyya] aos seus santos nomes” e então “determinou para eles realidades que operam no mundo de al-malakūt, o reino da existência e da corrupção, por meio de conexões normais” (2:175). Essa explicação reflete a compreensão dos escritores Kunta dos nomes de Deus como agentes da existência e das ciências como trabalhando de acordo com processos “normais”.

Um quadrado mágico três por três para a letra mīm. Todas as linhas, colunas e diagonais somam 333. Sīdi Muhammad al-Kuntī, Fawāʾid nūrāniyya wa farāʾid sirriyya rahmāniyya, MH 12211, fol. 32b.

No Fawāʾid nūrāniyya, Sidi Muhammad se refere ao processo de transformar uma letra ou nome em um quadrado de três por três como “cubing” (taʿkīb), e de criar um quadrado de quatro por quatro como “quad-ing” (tarrabaʾ). Ele também fornece exemplos de quadrados mágicos associados a letras específicas, juntamente com instruções sobre como usá-los para obter efeitos específicos. Assim, para a letra mīm, ele fornece um quadrado de três por três no qual todas as linhas, colunas e diagonais somam 333, escrevendo, “quem quer que o grave em uma tábua de chumbo… será protegido do engano dos inimigos e dos invejosos.” Dessa forma, ele endossa a criação e o uso de talismãs que fazem uso de versículos do Quran, dos nomes de Deus, das letras do alfabeto árabe, dos números que correspondem aos nomes e letras, e dos vários quadrados, tabelas e formas que representam os nomes e letras (2:174).

USAF will test autonomous flight capabilities on the KC-135 tanker

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 02/15/2024 - 20:00in Military

Merlin, a developer of safe and autonomous flight technology, announced that it has signed an agreement with the United States Air Force (USAF), aimed at a collaboration, carried out in conjunction with the Air Mobility Command (AMC) and the Air Force Material Command (AFMC), with the aim of integrating and demonstrating Merlin's advanced Pilot system in the iconic KC-135 Stratotanker air refueling tanker.

The multi-year partnership between Merlin and USAF is scheduled to introduce a gradual approach to improve the capabilities of the KC-135, starting with reducing the crew workload and advancing towards unmanned autonomous operations. This ambitious initiative represents a major advance in improving the mission readiness and operational efficiency of the U.S. Air Force.

Announcing our $105m Series B and a partnership with the@usairforce! https://t.co/gqEGU6DY90

— Merlin (@MerlinAero) July 28, 2022

Merlin's innovative Pilot system, designed to allow safe and autonomous flights for fixed-wing aircraft, will undergo rigorous phases of testing and demonstrations to validate its performance and reliability. Integration into the KC-135, a key asset in the USAF fleet for more than six decades, represents an important milestone in Merlin's quest to advance automation systems for military applications.

Matt George, CEO and co-founder of Merlin, expressed confidence in the potential of the partnership to shape the future of air operations, stating: "The integration into one of the most abundant and important military aircraft in the USAF fleet allows Merlin to materially evolve our advanced automation systems, which includes enabling autonomous flight in closed formation for the KC-135".

Merlin already tests Pilot technology on C208 Caravan aircraft.

The KC-135 Stratotanker, renowned for its indispensable role in air refueling missions, serves as a key piece for global reach and operational flexibility. With a robust cargo capacity and a lasting history of reliability, the KC-135 exemplifies the USAF's commitment to maintaining air superiority and supporting the defense efforts of allied nations.

As collaboration between Merlin and USAF advances, the implementation of autonomous flight technology in the KC-135 promises to redefine the future of air operations, paving the way for improved mission capabilities and operational effectiveness.

Day 208b: Friday July 26, 2024 - "Open The Gate"

Wasted no time - literally, in getting out of town, headed East, in search of the roads home. Dropped down off the interstate at first chance and started following the two lane blue highways towards Michigan. Open the Gate - Im here to prove.

Followed the ticking of the electrical poles and that yellow striped compadre, following my map perfectly to a place I'd put my finger on, Turkey Texas - which was about the perfect little Texas town lit up at night - plenty of character there. I drove on for another hour, to land myself at the Oklahoma border. A beautiful drive, across the quiet parts on the map - Encino, Fort Sumner, Clovis, Tulia, Childress.

Got stopped on a road that looked about like this and charmed my way through the New Mexican State Trooper who decided not to give me my first speeding ticket but warned of his buddies ahead who will be watching for me - scraped by despite being 18 over to keep my perfect record intact. He advised me to not speed until Texas, but it forced me to stay better focused all the way home - and with as many little towns Id cross through on these blue highways late at night, that definitely helped!
