Mechanical Principles. Mechanical Principles is a 1930 experimental short film directed by Ralph Steiner.

The short explores various mechanical concepts and principles through visual storytelling and cinematography.

Description 
The film shows the inner workings of machines, capturing the precision of mechanical motion in detail. Each frame is  crafted to showcase various particularities of in the mechanical world.

Production 
The film was shot partly at the Chicago Museum of Science

Reception 
The film is considered to border "pure cinema". Jan-Christopher Horak wrote that  "Mechanical Principles reveals that for Steiner any aspect of the visual world can fuel a fascination with sight." The film, part of the director's abstract trilogy, has been found "fascinating and more striking than Surf and Seaweed".

Millon Air Flight 406. Millon Air Flight 406 was an international cargo flight from Manta, Ecuador, to Miami, Florida. On October 22, 1996, the Boeing 707-323C crashed shortly after takeoff from Manta Airport, killing all four people on-board and 30 more people on the ground.

Aircraft 
The Boeing 707-323C (N751MA) involved in the accident was built in 1967 with serial number 19582 and was delivered to American Airlines on October 27. It was sold to Millon Air in October 1989 and operated by the carrier, but reportedly registered to Wilmington Trust. N751MA was involved in at least two previous incidents. The first was in 1995, when an engine failed 35 minutes after takeoff. On February 22, 1996, about eight months before the accident, the plane lost hydraulic fluid while en route from Manaus, Brazil to Miami. The aircraft landed at Miami International Airport with its nose landing gear retracted. According to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) records, the aircraft was in poor condition with corrosion and cracks.

Accident 
The aircraft captain had been working for Millon Air for three years and was also qualified as a flight instructor. There was also a first officer, a flight engineer, and a loadmaster. Flight 406 was loaded with cargo, including frozen fish.

At 21:44 CDT, Flight 406 took off from Runway 23. The aircraft quickly lost altitude and struck the La Dolorosa Catholic church's bell tower. The aircraft then crashed into a residential area near the airport and exploded, scattered debris over dozens of homes. The accident killed all four people on board along with at least 24 (or 30) people on the ground, including a priest from the church. 50 people were also injured.

Investigation 
Ecuador's Civil Aviation Authority investigated the accident with assistance from the National Transportation Safety Board, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Boeing, and Pratt & Whitney. Investigators ultimately determined that the cause of the accident was an engine failure.

Miami-based Millon Air had several maintenance violations. It was issued more than 50 warnings from the FAA during some ten-year period, and paid $49,000 in fines. A year earlier, a Douglas DC-8-54F leased to Faucet Perú crashed in Guatemala City, killing six people. After the accident, Millon Air ceased operations voluntarily.

McDonnell Douglas DC-10 Twin. The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 Twin was a proposed version of the DC-10, a wide-body trijet airliner, except with only two engines instead of three. 

The aircraft was designed to be lighter, simpler, and more fuel-efficient than the original DC-10, and to compete with the Airbus A300, the first twin-aisle twinjet. However, the DC-10 Twin did not enter production, as there was not enough demand from airlines.

Development 
Beginning in 1966, two-engine designs were studied for the DC-10 before the design settled on the three-engine configuration. Later on, a big twin based on the DC-10 cross-section was proposed to Airbus as a 50/50 venture but rejected. In 1971, a shortened DC-10 version with two engines was proposed as a competitor to the Airbus A300.

McDonnell Douglas held a major presentation of the proposed DC-10 Twin at Long Beach, California, and several European airlines were willing to place orders. On July 30th, 1973, however, the company's board decided not to give the proposed twin the go-ahead, as no US airline had ordered it. More DC-10 Twin proposals were made, either as a collaboration with a European manufacturer or as a solely McDonnell Douglas product, but none proceeded beyond design studies.

The design when being developed had cost a total of $250 million ($ million in 2024). The proposal was based on a specification from American Airlines in 1966, who wanted a wide-body aircraft smaller than the Boeing 747 yet capable of flying similar long-range routes between airports with shorter runways.

Holmium nitride. Holmium nitride is a binary inorganic compound of holmium and nitrogen with the chemical formula .

Synthesis
To produce holmium nitride nanoparticles, a plasma arc discharge technique can be employed.

In this process, holmium granules are placed in a copper crucible, which acts as the anode, while a tungsten cathode is used. Before starting, the furnace is evacuated , and this step is repeated twice to eliminate most of the air. Afterward, the furnace is filled with argon and nitrogen gas to a partial pressure of 4 kPa and a mixture ratio of 80% nitrogen to 20% argon.

Once the furnace is prepared, a current of ~220 A is applied along ~50 V, creating an arc plasma that generates holmium vapor. The holmium vapor then continues to react with the nitrogen gas in the surrounding environment, resulting in the formation of holmium nitride nanoparticles.

Physical properties
The compound forms crystals of cubic system.

Yore Mill. Yore Mill is a historic building in Aysgarth, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

The mill lies on the River Ure, by Yore Bridge.  In the late Mediaeval period, the site housed a fulling mill, which was replaced in the late 18th century by a cotton mill.  This burned down in 1853, and the current mill was completed in 1854, originally a combined corn and woollen mill, but by the end of the century, it only ground corn.  In 1937, the waterwheel was replaced by turbines, and a roller plant installed.  In 1969, the mill instead became a carriage museum, which closed in 2003.  By 2019, the building was in disrepair, unsafe to enter due to the poor condition of the roof.  In 2022, permission was granted to convert it into apartments and holiday lets.  The building has been Grade II listed since 1981.

The building is constructed of rubble, with a stone slate roof.  It is four storeys high and eight bays wide, with a T-shaped plan.  Most of the windows are 14-pane sashes, and on the east elevation, the central bay of each floor has a door.  The gable has a bell turret.  Inside, the structure is supported by cast iron pillars with H-shaped sections, which support timber beams.  To the north-west of the mill, the former mill offices survive from the Georgian building.  Also built of stone, they are two storeys high with a basement, below which is an arch through which the mill race flows.  The offices are connected to the mill by a two-storey timber framed extension, and are Grade II listed.  They are in commercial use.
