SkyRise Miami. SkyRise Miami was a proposed high-rise entertainment and observation tower to be built on the shore of Biscayne Bay in Miami, Florida, promoted and developed by real estate developer Jeff Berkowitz.

Height
Rising to a height of , it would have been the tallest structure in Florida. The Federal Aviation Administration objected to the height.

Original project
It was originally to have a tower called "Solar Universe," developed by a company called High Point Energy.  It would have been a self-sufficient, vertical energy structure powered by alternative energies such as solar, wind, hydro, and biomass.  It would have had 11 wind turbines to its east and a collection of  solar panels covering its southern face.  D’Agostino sold the rights to Solar Universe LLC to Jeffrey Berkowitz's Berkowitz Development Group, headquartered in Coconut Grove in April 2012. Berkowitz changed the name, first to Skyhigh Miami, then in August 2013, to Skyrise Miami. It was to have been located on public waterfront land adjacent to Bayside Marketplace, from which it would have sublet land. Both the City Commission and Miami voters approved the project in 2014. A significant portion of the several hundred million dollar project was to have been funded a program where foreign investors buy EB-5 visas. The project was officially cancelled on June 28, 2021.

Controversy
Developer Jeff Berkowitz pledged repeatedly that SkyRise would be built at no cost to the city of Miami advertising during the campaign for the project's approval vote that "taxpayers win without putting in a cent."  He made the same claim with nearly the same wording, "not one cent of Miami money", in a city commission meeting in June 2014.  But months earlier, in February 2014, he had quietly applied for fifteen million dollars in economic development funding.  Local blogger Al Crespo referred to Berkowitz as a "duplicitous hypocrite" for claiming that the project would be privately funded while quietly seeking public funding.  Berkowitz responded by threatening to sue Crespo for "false and libelous statements", demanding that he remove from his blog the article that alleged that Berkowitz deceived Miami taxpayers.

Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence and Reasoning. The International Conference on Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence and Reasoning (LPAR) is an academic conference aiming at discussing cutting-edge results in the fields of automated reasoning, computational logic, programming languages and their applications.

It grew out of the Russian Conferences on Logic Programming 1990 and 1991; the idea to organize the conference was largely due to Robert Kowalski who proposed to create the Russian Association for Logic Programming. The conference was renamed in 1992 to "Logic Programming and Automated Reasoning" (LPAR) to reflect its extended scope, due to considerable interest in automated reasoning in the Former Soviet Union. After a break from 1995 to 1998, LPAR continued in 1999 under the name "Logic for Programming and Automated Reasoning", to indicate an extension of its logic part beyond logic programming. In 2001, the name changed to "Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence and Reasoning".

The LPAR steering committee consists of Matthias Baaz, Chris Fermüller, Geoff Sutcliffe, and Andrei Voronkov (chair).

Following its slogan "To boldly go where no reasonable conference has gone before", LPAR typically takes place in locations that are unusual or difficult to reach.

Windlust, Noordwolde. Windlust is a smock mill in Noordwolde, Friesland, Netherlands which was built in 1860 and is in working order. The mill is listed as a Rijksmonument.

History
Windlust was built in 1860 by millwright Aberson of Steenwijk, Overijssel. On 1880, it was raised by millwright Middendorp of Wolvega, Friesland. In 1921, a brick engine house was added to the base. It houses a hot bulb engine by Schless und Rossmann of Cassel, Hesse, Germany. The engine was supplied by Fabrikaat Ten Zijthoff en Zoon, Deventer, Overijssel. Further restoration work was carried out in 1964, 1986 and 1990. The mill was owned by the Timmerman family. Windlust was worked mostly by engine in the 1930s, cur mostly by wind during World War II. Its condition deteriorated post-war and the mill ceased working in 1953. The mill was restored in 1959–62, its wooden windshaft being replaced by a cast-iron one, and the sails were fitted with the Fok system on the leading edges The work was carried out by millwright Medendorp of Zuidlaren, Drenthe.

Following the death of its owner in December 1968, Windlust was bequeathed to the Stichting De Oosthoek. The mill was not worked at all for three years, and then only occasionally until 1975. Since then, it is regularly worked on a Saturday. Repairs done to the hot bulb engine in 1983 allow it to be used to demonstrate milling by engine. The mill was damaged by a storm on 18 January 2007, but was soon repaired. It was returned to working order by June 2007. Windlust is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 38864.

Description

Windlust is what the Dutch describe as a "Stellingmolen". It is a smock mill on a brick base. The stage is  above ground level. The smock and cap are thatched. The mill is winded by tailpole and winch. The sails are Common sails with the Fok system on the leading edges. They have a span of . The sails are carried on a cast-iron windshaft which was made by Gietijzerij H. J. Koning of Foxham, Groningen. The windshaft also carries the brake wheel, which has 57 cogs. This drives the wallower (28 cogs) at  the top of the upright shaft. At the bottom of the upright shaft is the great spur wheel, which has 61 cogs. The great spur wheel drives one pair of millstones via a lantern pinion stone nut which has 21 staves. The Cullen millstones are  diameter. The hot bulb engine drives a pair of  diameter Cullen stones separate to the wind driven stones.

DigitalCurriculum. DigitalCurriculum was the first educational video-on-demand system and remains the standard for interactive streaming multimedia libraries. An early SaaS model, DigitalCurriculum was conceived and designed in 1997 and produced and released in 1999, by AIMS Multimedia's David S. Sherman, Ph. D., co-president of AIMS MULTIMEDIA, and software architect Richard Williams. The service drew from and incorporated the AIMS Multimedia educational video library, executive producer Mike Wright and associate producer Pat Davies. Also heavily involved in the design team were Hillary Broadwater, Elizabeth von Schoff, and Aram Iskenderian.

The video component in DigitalCurriculum included over $300 million in educational productions — programs that received more than 1,000 awards worldwide — including the prestigious Emmy, Oscar, Peabody and Parents’ Choice awards. These premier titles came from hundreds of world-renowned producers and distributors including: Scholastic/Weston Woods, ABC, Paramount, TV Ontario, TEAMS Distance Learning, Channel One and the National Film Board of Canada.

DigitalCurriculum was a curriculum-on-demand teaching and learning system that fully integrated full-length educational videos, key concept video clips, still images, Encyclopædia Britannica content, teacher guides, lesson plans, and interactive online assessments and assignments into a comprehensive learning tool for teachers, students, and administrators with complete record-keeping and an internal messaging service. At the time of its acquisition in 2004 by Discovery Communications, DigitalCurriculum had over 100,000 educational multimedia components for every K-12 subject, state and national framework correlations, multiple bit-rate encoding for school and home use, simple incorporation of local content, and a paid subscriber base of more than 20 million teachers, librarians, administrators, and students.

DigitalCurriculum is of particular historical interest as it was a SaaS pioneer and one of the first video on demand services. It used a revolutionary multiple bitrate encoding that allowed video and audio streaming by users with shared DSL fractional T-1 internet connectivity; it even allowed streaming at 56 kbit/s dial-up modems.

DigitalCurriculum was described as innovative and visionary; its design, features and functionality having been copied and incorporated by virtually all educational media companies since its initial release back in 1998–1999 and its various iterations, culminating in v.5.0 in 2004.

Zeppelin-Lindau Rs.IV. The Zeppelin-Lindau Rs.IV (known incorrectly postwar as the Dornier Rs.IV) was a Riesenflugzeug (Giant aircraft) monoplane all metal flying boat with a stressed skin hull and fuselage developed for the Imperial German Navy to perform long range patrols over the North Sea. It had been developed by Claudius Dornier while working for Zeppelin in the town of Lindau.

Development
Two aircraft were ordered by the German Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial Navy) in January 1918. The first flight was made on 12 October 1918 and was converted shortly thereafter into a passenger aircraft sometime between October 1918, following damage sustained during its first flight, and June 1919. When it was modified the pilot's position was moved to the hull instead of in the overhead fuselage in 1919. The sole completed example was scrapped on 17 April 1920 on orders from the Military Inter-Allied Commission of Control, after  a detailed examination of its construction had been made; the second example was never completed.

Design
Its design was based on the previous Rs.III, differing primarily in having a narrower hull fitted with sponsons and stressed skin structure, with some minor tidying of the design. It was a braced parasol monoplane with the fuselage mounted on the wing above both engine nacelles and hull. The four engines were mounted in push-pull pairs in nacelles large enough to allow in flight access (a requirement of the original Riesenflugzeug giant aircraft type specification by IdFlieg in 1915) between the hull and the wing. These were staggered to allow propeller disks to overlap slightly so as to reduce adverse yaw when an engine was not running.
It had the distinction of being first seaplane to have an all-metal stressed skin hull, and the first seaplane to be fitted with Dornier's patented sponsons.

C. F. Palmer, Ltd. C. F. Palmer, Ltd was an independent manufacturer of scientific instruments, mostly in the field of physiology. Since 1987 it has been a subsidiary of Harvard Apparatus.

The company was founded in London in 1891 by the English mechanical engineer and bicycle maker Charles Fielding Palmer (1864-1938). It described itself as making "Research and Students' Apparatus for Physiology, Pharmacology, Psychology, Bacteriology, Phonetics, Botany, etc." It specialized, however, in equipment for the relatively young science of physiology. As a result of good workmanship and excellent contacts with scientists, the company became an important supplier of physiology research equipment in the British Empire until ca. 1950.

Palmer manufactured instruments like the kymograph, invented by the German physiologist Carl Ludwig in 1847, the Stromuhr (another design by Ludwig) for measuring the rate of bloodflow and a 'dotting machine', designed by William McDougall to measure and record levels of fatigue. From the 1930s onward, the company catalogue also mentioned equipment for research in psychometrics. At some time (its records were lost) the company became a "Ltd". In the 1960s and 1970s it stuck to mostly electromechanical devices in an increasingly electronic age and it lost some of its importance as an instrument maker. It was renamed PalmerBioscience and in 1987 it was acquired by Harvard Apparatus.

Both the Museum of the History of Science in Oxford and the Science Museum in London own instruments by Palmer.
