Daniel Povey. Daniel Povey is a British researcher in the fields of speech recognition and artificial intelligence. After graduating from Cambridge University, he held research positions at Microsoft and IBM from 2003 to 2012. He worked at Johns Hopkins University as a nontenured associate research professor in the Whiting School of Engineering prior to being fired in August 2019. Later in August 2019, after being fired by Johns Hopkins, Povey was slated to begin working for Facebook, but he rejected Facebook's conditions of employment just days before he would have begun working for them. He was appointed the chief speech scientist at Xiaomi in November 2019, and continued to hold this position as of October 2020. He is also the primary architect and maintainer of Kaldi.

Johns Hopkins protest
By 8 May 2019, protestors at Johns Hopkins University had reached day 35 of a sit-in protest of campus militarization and local police agencies in Garland Hall, restricting access to all faculty and students. Garland Hall, Johns Hopkins University's main administrative hall, was the home location of servers Povey was expected to maintain. According to the university, Povey was denied permission into the building several times prior to 8 May. Led by Povey, counter-protestors entered the building and Povey began removing chains from the doors with a set of bolt cutters. During the chain-removal process, cell-phone footage from the sit-in protestors features a melee between Povey and protestors, as they eventually carry Povey out of the building.  Although Povey was adamant that he was the one being attacked in the videos, the university stated that a multitude of Povey's actions, such as leading a group of counter-protestors around campus at 12 am with a set of bolt cutters, threatened the safety of the students and university. Povey would be suspended and ultimately terminated from the university by August 2019.

Levelized cost of water. The levelized cost of water (LCOW or LCW) is the "cost per unit volume of product water produced by a water treatment process or service". It is a measure of efficiency, with lower values representing more efficient methods. LCW can refer to drinking water for human consumption or water for irrigation. The LCW varies with the method used to produce drinking water. Desalination, which produces usable water from saline water, has a higher LCW than processing groundwater or surface water. A 2020 study found that advances in decarbonization would reduce the levelized cost of water produced via desalination from €2.4 per cubic meter in 2015 (US$) to €1.05 per cubic meter in 2050 (US$). LCW of desalination also depends on the amount of saline that needs to be removed from water: The United States Department of Energy's 2018 grant guidelines suggested a target of $1.50/m3 for solar-thermal desalination of high-salinity water and a target of $0.50/m3 for low-salinity water such as sea water.

Heather Kulik. Heather J. Kulik is an American computational materials scientist and engineer who is the Lammot Du Pont Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her research considers the computational design of new materials and the use of artificial intelligence to predict material properties.

Early life and education 
Kulik earned her bachelor's degree in chemical engineering at Cooper Union in 2004. She moved to Massachusetts Institute of Technology for her graduate studies, where she joined the department of materials science and engineering and worked under the supervision of Nicola Marzari. During her doctoral research, she introduced a Hubbard U term to density functional theory calculations, which improved the study of transition metal complexes. Density functional theory allows for the prediction and study of new materials with limited computational cost. Amongst these materials, Kulik concentrated on transition metal complexes, as their highly localized electrons make the unphysical decollimation that occurs in the simplifications of DFT inappropriate. She graduated in 2009 with her Ph.D. in materials science and engineering.

Kulik then conducted postdoctoral research with Felice Lightstone at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. She then worked alongside Todd Martínez at Stanford University and Judith Klinman at University of California, Berkeley on the large-scale electronic structures of biomolecules.

Research and career 
In 2013, Kulik joined the faculty at Massachusetts Institute of Technology as the Joseph R. Mares Career Development Chair. She specializes in computational modeling and artificial intelligence to accelerate the discovery of new materials and catalysts. In particular, Kulik develops new strategies to improve the accuracy of density functional theory.

VSS Imagine. VSS Imagine (Virgin Space Ship Imagine) is an unflown SpaceShip III-class suborbital rocket-powered crewed spaceplane. It was the first SpaceShip III to be ordered and built, and was intended to be used as part of the Virgin Galactic fleet. The spacecraft was rolled out 30 March 2021 and was planned to undergo ground and glide testing during summer 2021. As of January 2024, it had not yet flown (in any form: not a captive carry flight, glide flight, powered flight or any other type of flight). By June 2024, development of Imagine and VSS Inspire was canceled, with the intention of using the vehicles for ground testing and development for the successor Delta-class spacecraft.

Overview 
VSS Imagine, the first SpaceShip III suborbital spaceplane for Virgin Galactic was announced on 25 February 2021 and was rolled out 30 March 2021. It was one of two SpaceShip III class spacecraft on order by Virgin Galactic, the second being VSS Inspire.

In November 2021 and again in November 2023, Virgin Galactic stated that it was slowing work on the vehicle to focus on getting VMS Eve and VSS Unity back to flight while starting development of its next-generation vehicles.

Lancaster Glass Company. The Lancaster Glass Company was a producer of manufactured glassware in Lancaster, Ohio that ran from 1908 to 1937. They are a producer of depression glass and were known as an early innovator of color in depression-era glassware.

History 
The company was founded by Lucien B. Martin and his son L. Phillip Martin in early July 1908. Following the creation of the company, a plant was built in Lancaster, Ohio, with plans to begin operations in November of that year. By the end of 1908, about 200 people were employed at the plant.

During the company's operating years, many patterns and colors were produced, and they were known mainly for their tableware and kitchen items. The glass made by Lancaster Glass Company can also be considered elegant glass, as it went through several finishing processes before being sold.

In 1924, the company was acquired by Anchor Hocking, who continued to produce glass under the Lancaster Glass Company name until 1937. After 1937, the Lancaster plant was known as Plant #2, which is still used today.

Patterns and colors 
Lancaster Glass Company had many popular patterns during its working years. Some of their lines were No. 906 Open Work, Jody, Marguerite, Morning Glory, and Sunshine. These patterns were more often found in decorative pieces rather than tableware. The company’s most popular tableware lines were No. 1200 Jubilee and No. 203 Patrick. 

During the early years of the company, they produced mainly pressed single-color crystal glass, in shades such as rose, topaz, green, and turquoise, among others. However, once the 1920s came around the company moved into producing more color options, often with multiple colors in the form of designs and etchings. 

The rarest pieces today are the Sphinx pattern, and almost any colored piece of Lancaster's Cable or Petal with the Corn Flower etching done by the W. J. Hughes Corn Flower Company. 

Even after the official dissolution of the company in 1937, Lancaster Glass patterns continued to be released under the Anchor Hocking name.

ETAP 30i. The ETAP 30i is a Belgian sailboat that was designed by French designers Mortain & Mavrikios, as a cruiser and first built in 1995.

Production
The design was built by ETAP Yachting in Belgium from 1995 to 2005 with 280 boats completed, but it is now out of production.

Design
The ETAP 30i is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of polyester glassfibre-foam cored sandwich, with wood trim. It has a 7/8 fractional sloop rig with aluminum spars, a deck-stepped mast, wire standing rigging and a single set of swept spreaders. The hull has a raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin, weighted bulb keel. It displaces  and carries  of cast iron ballast.

The foam-cored construction renders the boat unsinkable.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard keel.

The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo diesel engine of  for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds .

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settee quarter berths in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, a  ice box and a sink. The head is located opposite the galley, on the starboard side and includes a hanging locker. The fresh water tank has a capacity of .

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of . It has a hull speed of .

Operational history
The boat was at one time supported by a class club, the ETAP Owners Association.

In a 2009 Yachting Monthly review stated, "the boat is stiff and sea-kindly under sail, well-suited to short-handed or family cruising, but the standard rig, which features a non-overlapping, self-tacking headsail, leaves her decidedly undercanvassed in light to moderate winds. The bright, cosy saloon – spacious for a 30-footer – has plentiful stowage in lockers along the gunwales, a centrally mounted dining table, a good-sized chart table with plenty of room for instruments, and a workable, L-shaped galley. The heads compartment is surprisingly roomy, with ample hanging space for wet oilskins. The aft cabin has a 6ft by 5ft double berth and the forepeak vee-berth is sealed off from the main cabin with two sliding doors."
