It has been shown, using scaled implosions on the OMEGA laser and computer simulations, that NIF should also be capable of igniting a capsule using the so-called polar direct drive ( PDD ) configuration where the target is irradiated directly by the laser, but only from the top and bottom, with no changes to the NIF beamline layout.

Before arriving in the WWF, Matt formed his own wrestling promotion, the Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts ( OMEGA ) with Thomas Simpson.

In OMEGA, each of the brothers portrayed several different characters ; Hardy portrayed such characters as Willow the Wisp, Iceman, Mean Jimmy Jack Tomkins, and The Masked Mountain.

Hardy made his first wrestling appearance after being released from WWE at an OMEGA show, on May 24.

Using his old gimmick, " Willow the Wisp ", Hardy challenged Krazy K for the OMEGA Cruiserweight Championship, but lost the match.

Many types of scientific experiments are performed at the facility with a strong emphasis on inertial confinement, direct drive, laser-induced fusion using OMEGA, currently the world's highest-energy ultraviolet laser.

The new system consisted of five coins: the aureus / solidus, a gold coin weighing, like its predecessors, one-sixtieth of a pound ; the argenteus, a coin weighing one ninety-sixth of a pound and containing ninety-five percent pure silver ; the follis, sometimes referred to as the laureatus A, which is a copper coin with added silver struck at the rate of thirty-two to the pound ; the radiatus, a small copper coin struck at the rate of 108 to the pound, with no added silver ; and a coin known today as the laureatus B, a smaller copper coin struck at the rate of 192 to the pound.

It consisted of a single cylinder and 22 gears, and employed the mixed base-2 and base-5 number system familiar to users to the soroban ( Japanese abacus ).

The work of blacksmiths — developing implements and weapons — is hammered into shape, and, as a consequence, gradually departed from the stereotyped forms of their predecessors in bronze, which were cast, and the system of decoration, which in the Bronze Age consisted chiefly of a repetition of rectilinear patterns, gave way to a system of curvilinear and flowing designs.
