Kyl21. Kyl21 is a German ice cream brand that produces vegan and alcoholic popsicles in unusual geometric shapes.

History 
The science-food-company Molekyleis Produktionsgesellschaft mbH (Kyl) was founded in 2014 by product designer and marketing specialist David Marx in Berlin. David Marx produces flash-frozen ice using his own technology based on liquid nitrogen, which allows for the popsicles to have a geometric shape. The molekylice is produced at around .

The molekylice came out of the Science Kitchen - an independent food lab based in Berlin that specialized in molecular gastronomy by inventing and developing food products for a sustainable, vegan-friendly future. The Molekylice is produced in Los Angeles (under the brand name DreamPops) and China (under the brand name BOOM).

The Kyl21 name is a mash-up of the Norwegian word for molecule "molekyl", and the age (21 and older, due to the alcohol content of select popsicle flavors) of Marx's intended popsicle audience (Kyl is pronounced "kühl", IPA: [kyːl], the German word for "cool").
Through crowdinvesting at Companisto, Kyl21 was able to collect € 940.650 (ca. US $ 1.2 Million) venture capital. Despite this large sum the company subsequently failed to open a sales location or bring a single product to market in Germany. The apparent lack of any visible company activity caused major uproar among investors accusing David Marx of fraudulent behavior. As of 2021, the former company website is offline and the whereabouts of the collected funds are unknown.

Built in 1964, it is located on the north side of Hearst Avenue, across the street from the main campus. 

The basement of Etcheverry Hall housed the Berkeley Research Reactor between 1966 and 1987.

Bernard A. Etcheverry
Bernard Alfred Etcheverry was born in San Diego, California, on June 30, 1881, and graduated from UC Berkeley in 1902. He married Helen Hanson on August 6, 1903, and together they had two sons, Bernard Earle and Alfred Starr.

His first teaching appointment was to the Department of Civil Engineering at UC Berkeley, where he taught during the 1902–03 academic year. After that, he taught physics and civil engineering at the University of Nevada for two years before returning to Berkeley for the remainder of his career, from 1905 until his retirement in 1951. In addition to teaching, he served as an engineer for the construction of the Hearst Greek Theatre on the Berkeley campus. He moved into a new home in Kensington in 1953.

Professor Etcheverry died on October 26, 1954, in New Haven, Connecticut.

Renovations
The basement reactor room currently houses large experiments for the Department of Nuclear Engineering at Berkeley, including the Compact Integral Effects Test (CIET), which studies the thermal hydraulics, design, and operation of fluoride salt-cooled high temperature reactors.

The V&A Café opened on the third floor of Etcheverry Hall in June 2017. This followed a series of renovations begun in 2016 planned to take place over a 10-year period to modernize the building.

Aloyse Meyer. Aloyse Meyer (31 October 1883 in Clervaux - 3 May 1952) was a Luxembourgish engineer and manager in the steel industry.

He studied engineering at the university of Aachen, and in 1903 was employed by the Dudelange office of works. A few months later he became Ingenieur adjoint at the foundry in Dudelange, in 1906 Chef de service and in 1912 director. In 1918, he was appointed to the headquarters of Arbed as technical director, becoming its director-general in 1920.

In 1925 Aloyse Meyer became the head of the Chamber of Commerce, and in 1928 after the death of Émile Mayrisch, became president of the European steel union. Under the German occupation of Luxembourg in World War II, he remained as the director of ARBED. Just before US troops liberated Luxembourg in September 1944, Meyer was arrested by the Gestapo, acting on orders from Berlin, and taken to a prison in Wittlich in western Germany, along with his son Frank, and the head of the steel trading association Columeta, Michel Goedert. They were later released from prison, but remained in Germany under Gestapo surveillance until the war's end, and were unable to return to Luxembourg until April 1945. It later became known that he had directed large amounts of his own money towards the Belgian resistance and Belgian charities from 1942.

After the war, he rejoined Arbed, the president of its executive board in April 1947.

Aloyse Meyer was married to Eugénie Heintz, a descendant of the founder of the cigarette factory Heintz Van Landewyck. After the death of his father-in-law, Victor Heintz, Meyer in 1931 became president of the board of Heintz Van Landewyck, which he remained until his death. His son Robert Meyer, started his career in 1934 as an engineer at Heintz Van Landewyck.

GeeBee C-8 Eightster. The C-8 Eightster was a single-engine airliner developed by Granville Brothers Aircraft that did not go into production.

Design and development
The C-8 was an uncompleted design for a single-engine airliner, a wire-braced low-wing monoplane with conventional landing gear and a radial engine. Entry was from a small left rear door in the fuselage. Passenger visibility came from three semi-circular windows along each side. The main landing gear was faired similar to the Gee-Bee racers.

The Granville brothers also designed a series of sportster derivatives, including the C-4 Fourster and C-6 Sixster. The C-8 was the only one to be constructed, being partially completed by the time the company went into liquidation.

Variants
Gee Bee C Sportster Single-seat sport / racing aircraft; basis for the C family. 
C-4 Fourster Four-seater powered by a  Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior, not built.
C-6 Sixster Six-seater, not built.
C-8 Eightster Eight-seater, to have been powered by either a Pratt & Whitney R-1690 Hornet or a  Wright R-1820. The prototype was partially complete at the time of Granville Brothers bankruptcy.

Boiler stay. A boiler stay is an internal structural element of a boiler. Where the shell of a boiler or other pressure vessel is made of cylindrical or (part) spherical elements, the internal pressure will be contained without distortion. However, flat surfaces of any significant size will distort under pressure, tending to bulge.

Types
Stays of various types are used to support these surfaces by tying them together to resist pressure. Some boiler configurations require a great deal of staying. A large locomotive boiler may require several thousand stays to support the firebox. In water tube boilers, stays were sometimes used between their main chambers, and could themselves be water tubes. A knuckle joint is used for diagonal stays in a boiler.

A cylindrical firebox may be self-supporting without stays because of its shape.
