Jinhua Ye. Jinhua Ye is a Chinese chemist who is a professor at the National Institute for Materials Science in Tsukuba. Her research considers high-temperature superconductors for photocatalysis. She was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2016 and has been included in the Clarivate Analytics Highly Cited Researcher every year since then.

Early life and education 
Ye became interested in science fiction as a child. She was particularly interested in a story by Ye Yonglie that included a castle made from diamond. Ye learned that photocatalysis could split water into hydrogen and oxygen. She then became inspired by Jules Verne's The Mysterious Island,I believe that water will one day be employed as fuel, that hydrogen and oxygen which constitute it, used singly or together, will furnish an inexhaustible source of heat and light, of an intensity of which coal is not capable. She studied chemistry at the Zhejiang University. After completing her undergraduate degree, she moved to Japan, where she joined the University of Tokyo. After earning her doctorate in 1990, she joined Osaka University as a research associate.

Research and career 
In 1991, Ye joined the National Institute for Materials Science. She was made Director of Photocatalytic Materials Center in 2006 and Director of Environmental Remediation Materials in 2011. 

Ye has dedicated her career to the realization of artificial photosynthesis. She is particularly interested in the development of materials that harvest the most sunlight. Ye has studied the reaction mechanisms, and, in an effort to overcome harsh reaction kinetics, has worked on the careful construction of interfaces. In particular, Ye has developed nano-structured surfaces that enhance reactivities, and, using localized surface plasmon resonance, broaden the spectral range of her photocatalytic materials.

Ye was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2016. In 2022, she was included by the American Chemical Society Energy Letters in their list of the world's leading women scientists in energy research.

Golden Wings Flying Museum. The Golden Wings Flying Museum was an aviation museum located in Blaine, Minnesota.

History 
The museum was founded in 1996 by Greg Herrick in a former University of Minnesota hangar.

In 1997, Greg Herrick began a campaign to force the Federal Aviation Administration to make the blueprints of historic aircraft available to the public. This led to a lawsuit in 1999 that eventually resulted in the "Herrick Amendment" being passed as part of the FAA Air Transportation Modernization and Safety Improvement Act in 2012.

The collection was put up for sale in 2015.

Matthew Isakowitz Fellowship. The Matthew Isakowitz Fellowship is a non-profit program in the United States that provided paid internships and executive mentorship to exceptional undergraduate and graduate students seeking careers in commercial space for nearly a decade. The fellowship was created in memory of Matthew Isakowitz, an American aerospace engineer and early contributor to the field of commercial spaceflight who died at the age of 29.

Motivation and overview 
The Matthew Isakowitz Fellowship Program connected exceptional students with the resources to become leaders in the commercial space industry, with the goal of bolstering the then-fledgling industry and fostering excitement for commercial spaceflight in young engineers. Matthew Isakowitz was an aerospace engineer from Princeton University who worked at XPRIZE, SpaceX, and Astranis, and served as associate director of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation. He also worked on the New Horizons mission at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, for which the minor planet 78867 Isakowitz was named. The fellowship was founded by Isakowitz's family, including his father Steve Isakowitz, and former colleague Sirisha Bandla in 2017.

Between 2017 and 2024, the program offered students paid summer internships at commercial space companies (including SpaceX, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, etc.), travel stipends, and mentorship from notable aerospace leaders, including CEOs (e.g. Tom Mueller, George Whitesides, Mandy Vaughn), 10 astronauts (e.g. John M. Grunsfeld, Cadey Coleman, Sandy Magnus), former NASA administrators, JPL directors, and other experienced executives. Fellows were also paired with previous alumni, who aced as peer mentors, and were flown out to the annual summit in Los Angeles, California to network, tour aerospace companies, and to meet industry leaders such as Elon Musk and Buzz Aldrin.

In 2024, the fellowship program announced that it would no longer accept new fellows. The program remains partnered with the Brooke Owens Fellowship, Commercial Spaceflight Federation, and the Future Space Leaders Foundation.

Alumni 
As of 2024, the Matthew Isakowitz Fellowship has 200 alumni across 7 cohorts associated with 100+ different universities internationally. The program was noted for being increasingly competitive, with more than half of all fellows associated with MIT, Stanford, or Georgia Tech alone.

Thousands of students from around the United States applied to the fellowship. Approximately thirty were selected annually. Selection was made through an evaluation of merit and the perceived embodiment of Isakowitz's qualities. This was done primarily by means of interviews and essay responses. Finalists were matched with host companies, who independently conducted interviews and awarded offers.

The Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Hauts-de-France (; "Upper France National Institute for Applied Sciences") or INSA Hauts-de-France is one of the 210 Grande Ecole d’Ingénieurs, an engineering school, under the authority of the French Ministry of Education and Research. Situated in Valenciennes, this school is one of the public engineering institutes that make up the INSA's network.

Academics 
INSA Hauts-de-France is one of several engineering schools within the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées (INSA) network under the supervision of the Ministry of the Economy and Finance (France) (. All INSA engineering schools are Grandes Écoles, a French institution of higher education that is separate from, but parallel and connected to the main framework of the French public university system. Similar to the Ivy League in the United States, Oxbridge in the UK, and C9 League in China, Grandes Écoles are elite academic institutions that admit students through an extremely competitive process. Alums go on to occupy elite positions within government, administration, and corporate firms in France.

Although INSA engineering schools are selective and can be more expensive than public universities in France, Grandes Écoles typically have much smaller class sizes and student bodies, and many of their programs are taught in English. International internships, study abroad opportunities, and close ties with government and the corporate world are a hallmark of the Grandes Écoles. Many of the top ranked schools in Europe are members of the Conférence des Grandes Écoles (CGE), as are INSA engineering schools. Degrees from INSA are accredited by the Conférence des Grandes Écoles and awarded by the Ministry of National Education (France) ().

Seaward Eagle. The Seaward Eagle, sometimes called the Seaward Eagle 32, is an American sailboat that was designed by Nick Hake as a cruiser and first built in 1996.

Production
The design was built by Hake Yachts in the United States, starting in 1996, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Seaward Eagle is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, a plumb stem, a vertical transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed wing keel or optional lifting keel, powered by an electric winch. It displaces  and carries  of ballast with the wing keel and  of ballast with the lifting keel.

The wing keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of , while the lifting keel-equipped version has a draft of  with the keel extended and  with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water.

The boat is fitted with an inboard engine for docking and maneuvering.

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, an U-shaped settee around a drop-down table in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is U-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, icebox and a double sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side.

The design has a hull speed of .

Operational history
Noted naval architect Robert Perry reviewed the design in 2002, for Sailing Magazine, writing, "I thought this was a handsome boat with a perky, near-plumb stem, nice accenting rubrail and well-sculpted deck structures. What I don't like about his design is the way the sheer spring has been exaggerated aft. This is a great example of why you need to think of these lines in three dimensions. The sailplan shows this strong sheerline, and it looks just fine. But in the water, it appears to my eye that there is some conflict with the sheer's low point and the distribution of beam. The kick in the sheer aft is just too exaggerated for my eye. Still, it's good to see a designer with the chutzpa to put a healthy spring in the sheer. It certainly gives this boat a distinct personality, and nit-picking aside I like this boat."

A 2004 review in Sail magazine noted, "the accommodations, designed around the keel trunk in the saloon, are comfortable and well suited to coastal cruising."

Seaward 32RK. The Seaward 32RK is an American sailboat that was designed by Nick Hake as a cruiser and first built in 2006.

The design is also sometimes called the Hake 32RK.

Production
The design was built by Hake Yachts in the United States, starting in 2006, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Seaward 32RK is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, with a bowsprit; a plumb stem; a vertical, walk-through transom; a lifting, transom-hung rudder controlled by a wheel and a lifting keel with a weighted bulb, actuated by an electric winch. It displaces  and carries  of ballast. 

The walk-through transom has a swimming ladder and a hot and cold shower.

The boat has a draft of  with the keel extended and  with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 3YM30  diesel engine for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds  and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a U-shaped dinette table that forms a double berth and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side.

The design has a hull speed of .

Operational history
In a 2020 review in Blue Water Sailing, Sandy Parks wrote, " The 32RK has one signature design feature that makes it uniquely suitable for cruising in areas with a lot of shallow water and for sailors who want to trailer their boats. The RK in its name stands for 'retracting keel' which enables you to lower the keel to whatever depth you want, within reason, and to raise it again when the water starts to get thin. A simple electric winch raises and lowers the keel."

Thomas Fleming Bergin. Thomas Fleming Bergin (n/a - 1862) was an Irish civil engineer and early Irish railway official. He was the Company Clerk of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway (D&KR), the first public railway in Ireland. He was also responsible for the design of the Bergin Patent Spring Buffer, the buffering system that it used.

Biography 
Bergin, who was by profession a civil engineer, was to join the Dublin and Kingstown Railway (D&KR) in 1832, replacing James Pim as company secretary. Lyons notes Pim and Bergin as "two of the most valuable engines the D&KR possessed, although other individuals also played an important part."  Murray notes Bergin was to have a "large part of the daily management of the railway", and also notes the Bergin and Pim made an excellent team. Bergin was to remain loyal to the D&KR despite offers from other railways.

Thomas notes the D&KR Chief Clerk (aka Bergin) was sent to the Liverpool and Manchester Railway (L&MR) in June 1833.  Dawson notes Bergin observed the sprung buffer / connection system used on the L&MR and determined to develop his own design for the D&KR.

On 16 December 1834 Bergin was to place advertisements in the Dublin newspapers as Clerk of the Company proclaiming the public opening of the D&KR with an hourly service from 9am to 4pm inclusive from Westland-Row to  and Kingstown.

Bergin was additionally appointed Mechanical Engineer in 1835, though as that position was found to be needing a full time appointment Bergin was to revert to Clerk. Bergin retired when the operation of the D&KR was taken over by the Dublin and Wicklow Railway in 1856. 

Bergin served as president of the Microscopical Society of Ireland in 1842. He died in December 1862.
