Monnikenburenmolen, Nijhuizum. The Monnikenburenmolen or Nijhuizumermolen is a drainage mill in Nijhuizum, Friesland, Netherlands. It was restored in 2008 after it was only just saved from demolishment in 1994. It is a hollow post windmill of a type called "spinnenkop" by the Dutch. The mill is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 527646. It can help drain the polder and has been designated as a backup to the pumping station by the waterboard Wetterskip Fryslân.

History
A mill was situated in this location in 1832. Originally it was equipped with a scoop wheel outside the mill. Later this was replaced by an Archimedes' screw. Before 1940 the mill body was removed and the screw was powered by a diesel engine placed in the substructure, which was replaced by an electric motor some time before 1970. In 1994 the remnants of the mill would have been demolished if mill enthusiasts had not prevented it. Molenstichting Nijefurd became owner of the mill in 2003. It was restored to working order in 2008.

Description

The Monnikenburenmolen or Nijhuizumermolen is what the Dutch describe as a "spinnenkop" (English: spiderhead mill).  It is a small hollow post mill winded by a winch. The four common sails have a span of  and are carried on a wooden windshaft. The brake wheel on the windshaft drives the wallower at the top of the upright shaft in the weatherboarded body, which passed through the main post into the octagonal, thatched substructure. At the bottom of the upright shaft, the crown wheel drives the Archimedes' screw. The screw is  in diameter.

Public access
The mill is open to the public by appointment on Saturday afternoons. It is easily accessible by a footpath leading to the mill from the public road.

De Geeuwpoldermolen, Oppenhuizen. The Geeuwpoldermolen (or Geau's Mole in West Frisian) is a drainage mill near the twin village of Oppenhuizen, Friesland, Netherlands. It is a hollow post windmill of the type called spinnenkop by the Dutch. The mill is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 39810 and it is still in use for draining the Geeuwpolder. It was almost completely renewed at a restoration in 1987, earlier restorations were in 1954 and 1965.

History
The exact year of construction is uncertain, 1832 or 1841 are mentioned. Though restored earlier, the mill was in a bad state of repair when Stichting De Fryske Mole became owner in 1981. It was scratched from the list of protected monuments and a permit for demolishment had already been given before the national government could be persuaded to at least pay for the yearly maintenance. Money was raised from other public and private parties and by selling postcards to pay for the four year restoration. In 1988 the work was completed and the windmill is currently in regular use to drain the Geeuwpolder. This polder is one of the last remaining summer polders, it is only drained during the summer and allowed to flood in winter. The polder is now a nature reserve owned by Staatsbosbeheer (English: State Forest Management).

Energy information management. Traditionally energy management equipment is associated with building automation (BAS) or building management systems (BMS). 

Energy management systems generate huge amounts of data about a building, from outside and inside air temperature, to carbon monoxide and humidity levels, each associated with the time of day, week, and year. These systems allow you to see what is going on in the building and to set complex schedules to control light and temperature based on the current information and instructions. They usually produce a record of energy use, but generally do not aggregate the data or allow you to see trends over time and location. 

Energy information management offers solutions to automate the data available from a BMS, BAS or EMS, aggregate it and apply algorithms to extract actionable information from the data. This allows the building owner a method for the ongoing, continuous improvement of a building’s energy use over time.

Leslie MacDill. Colonel Leslie MacDill was a United States Army Air Corps officer. MacDill Air Force Base near Tampa, Florida is named in his honor. Colonel MacDill was one of aviation's early pioneers.

Biography

Education 
MacDill was born at Monmouth, Illinois, on 19 February 1889. He graduated from Hanover College  in 1909 with an A.B. degree, and from Indiana University in 1911 with an A.M. degree. In 1920, he enrolled at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he earned a Doctor of Science in aeronautical engineering in 1922.

Military Service 
He was commissioned from civilian life as a second lieutenant, Coast Artillery Corps, on 13 April 1912. He served with the 6th Company, Coast Artillery Corps from 10 December 1912, until his detail in 1914 in the Aviation Section, Signal Corps. Upon completion of his flying training at the Signal Corps Aviation School at San Diego, California, he was rated a Junior Military Aviator on 2 July 1915, which automatically advanced him to the rank of first lieutenant. He was promoted to captain on 15 May 1917; he commanded a training group assigned to Foggio, Italy in 1917. His second in command was future mayor of New York Fiorello LaGuardia. After World War I, he stayed in the force during peace time, dedicating himself to aviation development. He advocated for the creation of the Air Corps, predecessor of the Air Force, leading to its creation in 1926. He continued to work for the expansion and funding of the Air Corps through the 1930s until his death. He was promoted to Major 1 July 1920. He was later promoted to lieutenant colonel 1 August 1935 and to colonel on 26 August 1936.

Death
MacDill died as the result of an airplane crash on the morning of 9 November 1938, in Washington D.C. The accident occurred several minutes after his takeoff from Bolling Field in a BC-1 aircraft.

Accounts pieced together from eyewitnesses indicated that something went wrong with the motor. Colonel MacDill first tried to get back to Bolling Field, and then aimed his plane for a narrow space between two houses. The descending plane cut down telephone and power wires, knocked down a pole, clipped off tree limbs, plunged to the ground and burst into flames. MacDill and his mechanic, Private Joseph G. Gloxner, were killed instantly.

Van's Aircraft RV-14. The Van's Aircraft RV-14 is an American aerobatic kit aircraft designed by Richard VanGrunsven and produced by Van's Aircraft. It was introduced at AirVenture in July 2012. The aircraft is supplied as a kit for amateur construction.

As of November 2022, 207 RV-14s have been completed and flown.

Design and development
Derived from the four-seat RV-10, RV-14 design work was commenced several years before its 2012 debut. It is an aerobatic two-seater designed to accommodate large pilots and offer greater baggage space, to comply with the US experimental amateur-built aircraft rules. The design goals included improved visibility, a wider cabin, a low landing speed achieved by larger and more effective flaps, good rate-of-climb and glide ratio, landing gear that meets FAR Part 23 certification standards and an airframe designed to accommodate the Lycoming IO-390 powerplant. It features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.

The RV-14 is built from aluminum sheet. The prototype was fitted with a  Lycoming IO-390 four-stroke powerplant. The kit is intended to be easier to assemble than earlier Van's designs through the use of pre-punched and pre-formed fuselage longerons, pre-installed wiring, plug-in avionics, a pre-trimmed and ready-to-install bubble canopy, pre-welded canopy frame, pre-fitted engine baffles as well as matched pre-punched holes. The RV-14 offers several instrument panel choices, including one designed to take modern electronic flight instrument systems (EFIS), like the Dynon SkyView, without any additional cutting, as well as a blank panel that can be customized by the builder.

In July 2020 Van's introduced a new version of the Lycoming IO-390, designated as the IO-390-EXP119 and optimized for the RV-14. The engine has new exhaust and induction systems and puts out . It has a revised oil sump, aluminum induction pipes, oil pump and accessory case that saves  of weight. With this powerplant the RV-14 is  faster in cruise speed and climbs  faster.

The manufacturer offers aircraft type transition training and has built an RV-14 for this purpose.

William Staub. William Edward Staub (November 3, 1915 – July 19, 2012) was an American mechanical engineer who invented and developed the first consumer treadmill for home use, the PaceMaster 600, during the late 1960s. Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper, who helped to popularize Staub's invention, has described Staub as "a pioneer in exercise — not for the athlete, but for the masses."

Life
Staub was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on November 3, 1915. He lived in Clifton, New Jersey, for most of his life, residing in the town for more than seventy years. He originally moved to New Jersey to work as an engineer for the propeller division of Curtiss-Wright, an aircraft manufacturer, during World War II. He later founded the Besco Corp., an aerospace components producer headquartered in Clifton, New Jersey. The name "Besco" stood for the "Bill Edward Staub Corporation."

Staub developed the first consumer treadmill after reading the 1968 book, Aerobics, by Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper. Cooper's book noted that individuals who ran a mile for eight minutes four-to-five times a week would be in better physical condition than those who did not. Staub noticed that there were no inexpensive treadmills for home use at the time and decided to develop a treadmill for his own use. His son Gerald, designed an on-off switch for the machine. Once finished, he sent his prototype, which he called the PaceMaster 600, to Cooper. Cooper enjoyed the invention and found the treadmill's first customers, who included fitness equipment salespeople. In a 2012 interview, Cooper said of Staub's early prototype: "There really wasn’t a practical treadmill in those days  ... no one had come along with a way for people to exercise indoors, in a way that simulated outdoor exercise."

Staub began production of the first home treadmills at his plant in Clifton, New Jersey, before moving production to Little Falls, New Jersey. The success of the treadmill lead Staub to slowly halt his work in the aerospace industry. Instead he focused on the treadmill through his work at Aerobics Inc., a treadmill manufacture founded by Cooper. Staub sold the business to his sons, Gerald Staub and Thomas Staub, in the mid-1990s and retired from the industry. He used the treadmill until two months before his death in 2012.

Outside of engineering, Staub owned the Colonial Lanes bowling alley in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, and was a bowling enthusiast.

In 2006, Runner's World magazine paid tribute to Staub in a feature article titled, "Our Favorite Things: 40 Years of Running Gear Innovation." The magazine stated that the PaceMaster 600 eliminated bad weather as a valid excuse to skip running.

William Staub died on July 19, 2012, at the age of 96, at his home in Clifton, New Jersey. His wife, Dorothy, died in 2007, and their daughter, Patricia, died in 1977. Staub was survived by two daughters, Dorothy Kentis and Dolores Colucci-Healey; four sons, William, Norman, Gerald and Thomas; twenty-one grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren.
