 albert of prussia may march was the last grand master of the teutonic knights who after converting to lutheranism became the first monarch of the duchy of prussia the secularized state that emerged from the former monastic state of the teutonic knights albert was the first european ruler to establish protestantism as the official state religion of his lands he proved instrumental in the political spread of protestantism in its early stage ruling the prussian lands for nearly six decades a member of the brandenburgansbach branch of the house of hohenzollern albert s election as grand master had brought about hopes of a reversal of the declining fortune of the teutonic knights he was a skilled political administrator and leader and did indeed reverse the decline of the teutonic order however albert who was sympathetic to the demands of martin luther rebelled against the catholic church and the holy roman empire by converting the teutonic state into a protestant and hereditary realm the his uncle the king of poland the arrangement was confirmed by the treaty of krakw in albert pledged a personal oath to the king and in return was invested with the duchy for himself and his heirs albert s rule in prussia was fairly prosperous although he had some trouble with the peasantry the confiscation of the lands and treasures of the catholic church enabled him to propitiate the nobles and provide for the expenses of the newly established prussian court he was active in imperial politics joining the league of torgau in and acted in unison with the protestants in plotting to overthrow emperor charles v after the issue of the augsburg interim in may albert established schools in every town and founded knigsberg university in he promoted culture and arts patronising the works of erasmus reinhold and caspar hennenberger albert s final years were clouded by peasant resentment of heavy taxes a step he felt compelled to take due to there no longer being any church land available to confiscate in and paul skali also caused various religious and political disputes albert spent his final years virtually deprived of power and died at tapiau on march his son albert frederick succeeded him as duke of prussia albert s dissolution of the teutonic state caused the founding of the duchy of prussia paving the way for the rise of the house of hohenzollern he is therefore often seen as the father of the prussian nation and even as indirectly responsible for the unification of germany early life albert was born in ansbach in franconia as the third son of frederick i margrave of brandenburgansbach his mother was sophia daughter of casimir iv jagiellon grand duke of lithuania and king of poland and his wife elisabeth of austria he was raised for a career in the church and spent some time at the court of hermann iv of hesse elector of cologne who appointed him canon of the cologne cathedral despite being quite religious he was also interested in mathematics and teachings of the church in favour of scientific theories his career was forwarded by the church however and institutions of the catholic clerics supported his early advance turning to a more active life albert accompanied emperor maximilian i to italy in and after his return spent some time in the kingdom of hungary grand master duke frederick of saxony grand master of the teutonic order died in december albert was chosen as his successor early in in the hope that his relationship to his maternal uncle sigismund i the old grand duke of lithuania and king of poland would facilitate a settlement of the disputes over eastern prussia which had been held by the order under polish suzerainty since the second peace of thorn the new grand master aware of his duties to the empire and to the papacy refused to submit to the crown of poland as war over the order s existence appeared inevitable albert made strenuous efforts to secure allies and carried on by the ravages of members of the order in poland culminated in a war which began in december and devastated prussia albert was granted a fouryear truce early in the dispute was referred to emperor charles v and other princes but as no settlement was reached albert continued his efforts to obtain help in view of a renewal of the war for this purpose he visited the diet of nuremberg in where he made the acquaintance of the reformer andreas osiander by whose influence albert was won over to protestantism the grand master then journeyed to wittenberg where he was advised by martin luther to abandon the rules of his order to marry and to convert prussia into a hereditary duchy for himself this proposal which was understandably appealing to albert had already been discussed by some of his relatives but it was necessary to proceed cautiously and he assured pope adrian vi that he was anxious to reform the order and punish the knights who had adopted lutheran doctrines luther but in order to facilitate the change made special efforts to spread his teaching among the prussians while albert s brother margrave george of brandenburgansbach laid the scheme before their uncle sigismund i the old of poland duke in prussia after some delay sigismund assented to the offer with the provision that prussia should be treated as a polish fiefdom and after this arrangement had been confirmed by a treaty concluded at krakw albert pledged a personal oath to sigismund i and was invested with the duchy for himself and his heirs on february the estates of the land then met at knigsberg kaliningrad and took the oath of allegiance to the new duke who used his full powers to promote the doctrines of luther this transition did not however take place without protest summoned before the imperial court of justice albert refused to appear and was proscribed while the order elected a new grand master walter von cronberg who received prussia as a fief at the experiencing the tumult of the reformation the german peasants war and the wars against the ottoman turks they did not enforce the ban on the duke and agitation against him soon died away in imperial politics albert was fairly active joining the league of torgau in he acted in unison with the protestants and was among the princes who banded and plotted together to overthrow charles v after the issue of the augsburg interim in may for various reasons however poverty and personal inclination among others he did not take a prominent part in the military operations of this period the early years of albert s rule in prussia were fairly prosperous although he had some trouble with the peasantry the lands and treasures of the church enabled him to propitiate the nobles and for a time to provide for the expenses of the court he did something for the furtherance of learning by establishing schools in every town and by freeing serfs who adopted a scholastic life in where he appointed his friend andreas osiander to a professorship in albert also paid for the printing of the astronomical prutenic tables compiled by erasmus reinhold and the first maps of prussia by caspar hennenberger this step was the beginning of the troubles which clouded the closing years of albert s reign osiander s divergence from luther s doctrine of justification by faith involved him in a violent quarrel with philip melanchthon who had adherents in knigsberg and these theological disputes soon created an uproar in the town the duke strenuously supported osiander and the area of the quarrel soon broadened there were no longer church lands available with which to conciliate the nobles the burden of taxation was heavy and albert s rule became unpopular after osiander s death in albert favoured a preacher named johann funck who with an adventurer named paul skali exercised great influence over him and obtained considerable wealth at public expense the state of turmoil caused by these religious and political disputes was increased by the should that happen to appoint a regent as his only son albert frederick was still a mere youth the duke was forced to consent to a condemnation of the teaching of osiander and the climax came in when the estates appealed to king sigismund ii augustus of poland albert s cousin who sent a commission to knigsberg skali saved his life by flight but funck was executed the question of the regency was settled and a form of lutheranism was adopted and declared binding on all teachers and preachers virtually deprived of power the duke lived for two more years and died at tapiau on march cornelis floris de vriendt designed his tomb within knigsberg cathedral albert was a voluminous letter writer and corresponded with many of the leading personages of the time legacy although albert has received relatively little recognition in german history his dissolution of the teutonic state caused the founding of the duchy of prussia which would eventually become arguably the most powerful albert is therefore often seen as the father of the prussian nation and even as indirectly responsible for the unification of germany he was a skilled political administrator and leader and effectively reversed the decline of the teutonic order until he betrayed it by transforming the order s lands into his own duchy secularizing it in the process albert was the first german noble to support luther s ideas and in founded the university of knigsberg the albertina as a rival to the roman catholic cracow academy it was the second lutheran university in the german states after the university of marburg a relief of albert over the renaissanceera portal of knigsberg castle s southern wing was created by andreas hess in according to plans by christoph rmer another relief by an unknown artist was included in the wall of the albertina s original campus this depiction which showed the duke with his sword over his shoulder was the popular albertus the symbol of the university the original was moved to while the sculptor paul kimritz created a duplicate for the wall another version of the albertus by lothar sauer was included at the entrance of the knigsberg state and royal library in friedrich reusch created a sandstone bust of albert at the regierungsgebude the administrative building for regierungsbezirk knigsberg on may reusch premiered a famous statue of albert at knigsberg castle with the inscription albert of brandenburg last grand master first duke in prussia albert wolff also designed an equestrian statue of albert located at the new campus of the albertina king s gate contains a statue of albert albert was ofthonored in the quarter maraunenhof in northern knigsberg its main street was named herzogalbrechtallee in its town square knigottokarplatz was renamed herzogalbrechtplatz in to match its church the toolong spouse and issue albert married first to princess dorothea august april daughter of king frederick i of denmark in they had six children

 genetically modified maize corn is a genetically modified crop specific maize strains have been genetically engineered to express agriculturallydesirable traits including resistance to pests and to herbicides maize strains with both traits are now in use in multiple countries gm maize has also caused controversy with respect to possible health effects impact on other insects and impact on other plants via gene flow one strain called starlink was approved only for animal feed in the us but was found in food leading to a series of recalls starting in marketed products herbicide resistant maize corn varieties resistant to glyphosate herbicides were first commercialized in by monsanto and are known as roundup ready corn they tolerate the use of roundup bayer cropscience developed liberty link corn that is resistant to glufosinate pioneer hibred has developed and markets corn hybrids with tolerance to imidazoline herbicides under the trademark clearfield though in these hybrids the herbicidetolerance trait was bred using tissue culture selection and the chemical mutagen framework governing the approval of transgenic crops does not apply for clearfield as of herbicideresistant gm corn was grown in countries by varieties herbicideresistant gm maize were authorised for import into the european union in the eu was reported to import million tons a year of gm crops but such imports remain controversial cultivation of herbicideresistant corn in the eu provides substantial farmlevel benefits insecticideproducing corn bt corn is a variant of maize that has been genetically altered to express one or more proteins from the bacillus thuringiensis bacteria the protein is poisonous to certain insect pests and is widely used in organic gardening the european corn borer causes about a billion dollars in damage to corn crops each year in recent years traits have been added to ward off corn ear worms and root worms the latter of which annually causes about a billion dollars in damages the bt protein is expressed throughout the plant when a vulnerable insect eats the btcontaining plant the protein is human gut is acidic in the alkaline environment the protein partially unfolds and is cut by other proteins forming a toxin that paralyzes the insect s digestive system and forms holes in the gut wall the insect stops eating within a few hours and eventually starves in the first gm maize producing a bt cry protein was approved which killed the european corn borer and related species subsequent bt genes were introduced that killed corn rootworm larvae bt genes that are approved include the following singly and stacked event name between brackets crya mon cryiab mon cryif cryab mon crybb mon and mon cryab cryab mcrya mir and vipa mir in both corn and cotton corn

developed by syngenta products in development in south african researchers announced the production of transgenic maize resistant to maize streak virus msv although it has not been released as a product refuges us environmental protection agency epa regulations require farmers who plant bt corn to plant nonbt corn nearby called a refuge to provide a location to harbor vulnerable pests the theory behind these refuges is to slow the evolution of resistance to the pesticide epa regulations also require seed companies to train farmers how to maintain refuges to collect data on the refuges and to report that data to the epa a study of these reports found that from to farmer compliance with keeping refuges was above corn farmers did not keep refuges properly raising concerns that resistance would develop unmodified crops received most of the economic benefits of bt corn in the us in because of the overall reduction of pest populations this reduction came because females laid eggs on modified and unmodified strains alike resistance resistant strains of the european corn borer have developed in areas with defective or absent refuge management in november monsanto scientists found the pink bollworm had become resistant to firstgeneration bt cotton in parts of gujarat india that generation expresses one bt gene cryac this was the first instance of bt resistance confirmed by monsanto anywhere in the world bollworm resistance to first generation bt cotton has been identified in the australia china spain and the united states in a florida field trial demonstrated that

crops varies between countries with some of the mostmarked differences occurring between the usa and europe regulation varies in a given country depending on intended uses controversy broad scientific consensus holds that food derived from gm crops poses no greater risk to human health than conventional food the scientific rigor of the studies regarding human health has been disputed due to alleged lack of independence and due to conflicts of interest involving governing bodies and some of those who perform and evaluate the studies gm crops provide a number of ecological benefits but there are also concerns for their overuse stalled research outside of the bt seed industry proper management and issues with bt resistance arising from their misuse critics have objected to gm crops on ecological economic and health grounds the economic issues derive from those organisms that are subject to intellectual property law mostly patents the first generation of gm crops lose patent protection beginning in monsanto has claimed it will not to pursue farmers who retain seeds of offpatent plant to impact nontarget organisms before approving commercial release a study found that in a lab environment pollen from bt maize dusted onto milkweed could harm the monarch butterfly several groups later studied the phenomenon in both the field and the laboratory resulting in a risk assessment that concluded that any risk posed by the corn to butterfly populations under realworld conditions was negligible a review of the scientific literature concluded that the commercial largescale cultivation of current btmaize hybrids did not pose a significant risk to the monarch population a review found that nontarget invertebrates are generally more abundant in bt cotton and bt maize fields than in nontransgenic fields managed with insecticides however in comparison with insecticidefree control fields certain nontarget taxa are less abundant in bt fields gene flow gene flow is the transfer of genes andor alleles from one species to another concerns focus on the interaction between gm and other maize varieties in mexico and of gene flow into refuges in the government of mexico created a is the center of diversity for maize gene flow could affect a large fraction of the world s maize strains a report in nature presented evidence that bt maize was crossbreeding with unmodified maize in mexico the data in this paper was later described as originating from an artifact nature later stated the evidence available is not sufficient to justify the publication of the original paper a largescale study failed to find any evidence of contamination in oaxaca however other authors also found evidence of crossbreeding between natural maize and transgenic maize a study found bt protein in kernels of refuge corn food the french high council of biotechnologies scientific committee reviewed the vendmois et al study and concluded that it presents no admissible

glyphosate tolerance starlink corn recalls starlink contains cryc which had not previously been used in a gm crop starlink s creator plant genetic systems had applied to the us environmental protection agency epa to market starlink for use in animal feed and in human food starlink corn was subsequently found in food destined for consumption by humans in the us japan and south korea this corn became the subject when taco bellbranded taco shells sold in supermarkets were found to contain the corn sales of starlink seed were discontinued the registration for starlink varieties was voluntarily withdrawn by aventis in october pioneer had been bought by agrevo which then became aventis cropscience at the time of the incident which was later bought by bayer fiftyone people reported adverse effects to the fda us centers for disease control cdc which determined that of them were possibly related to starlink however the cdc studied the blood of these individuals and concluded there was no evidence of hypersensitivity to the starlink bt protein a subsequent review of these tests by the federal insecticide fungicide and rodenticide act scientific advisory panel points out that while the negative results decrease the probability that the cryc protein is the cause of allergic symptoms in the individuals examined in the absence of a positive control and questions regarding the sensitivity and specificity of the assay it is not possible to assign a negative predictive value to this of the starlink bt proteins since in aid sent by the un and the us to central american nations

found in many tumuli kurgan had been ritually bound before burial and the custom of binding the dead persists for example in rural anatolia nineteenthcentury anthropologist james frazer stated in his classic work the golden bough that souls were seen as the creature within that animated the body ghosts and the afterlife although the human soul was sometimes symbolically or literally depicted in ancient cultures as a bird or other animal it appears to have been widely body in every feature even down to clothing the person wore this is depicted in artwork from various ancient cultures including such works as the egyptian book of the dead which shows deceased people in the afterlife appearing much as they did before death including the style of dress fear of ghosts while deceased ancestors are universally regarded as venerable and often imagined as having a continued presence in some sort of afterlife the spirit of a deceased person which remains present in the material world viz a ghost is regarded as an unnatural or undesirable state of affairs and the idea of ghosts or revenants is associated with a reaction of fear this is universally the case in premodern folk cultures but fear of ghosts also remains an integral aspect of the modern ghost story gothic horror and other horror fiction dealing with the supernatural common attributes another widespread belief concerning ghosts is that they are composed of a misty airy or subtle material the person within the person the person s spirit most noticeable in ancient cultures as a person s breath which upon exhaling in colder climates appears visibly as a white mist this belief may have also fostered the metaphorical meaning of breath in certain languages such as the latin spiritus and the greek pneuma

locale a place where ghosts are reported is described as haunted and often seen as being inhabited by spirits of deceased who may have been former residents or were familiar with the property supernatural activity inside homes is said to be mainly associated with violent or tragic events in the building s past such as murder accidental death or suicide sometimes in the recent or ancient past but not all hauntings are at a place of a violent death or even on violent grounds many cultures and religions believe the essence of a being exist some religious views argue that the spirits of those who have died have not passed over and are trapped inside the property where their memories and energy are strong history ancient near east and egypt there are many references to ghosts in mesopotamian religions the religions of sumer babylon assyria and other early states in mesopotamia traces of these beliefs survive in the later abrahamic religions that came to dominate the region the thcentury bc play oresteia contains one of the first ghosts to appear in a work of fiction roman empire and late antiquity the ancient romans believed a ghost could be used to exact revenge on an enemy by scratching a curse on a piece of lead or pottery and placing it into a grave plutarch in the st century ad described the haunting of the baths at chaeronea by the ghost of a murdered man the ghosts loud and frightful groans caused the people of the town to seal up a haunted house from the ancient classical world is given by pliny the younger c ad pliny describes the haunting of a house in athens by a ghost bound in chains the hauntings ceased when the ghost s shackled skeleton was unearthed and given a proper reburial the writers plautus and lucian also wrote stories about haunted houses in the new testament jesus has to persuade the disciples that he is not a ghost following the resurrection luke some versions of the bible such as the kjv and nkjv use the term spirit in a similar vein jesus followers at first believe him to be a ghost spirit when they see him walking on water one of the first persons to express disbelief in ghosts was lucian of samosata in the nd century ad in his tale the doubter circa ad he relates how democritus the learned man from abdera in thrace lived in a tomb outside the city gates to prove that cemeteries were not how he persisted in his disbelief despite practical jokes perpetrated by some young men of abdera who dressed up in black robes with skull masks to frighten him this account by lucian notes something about the popular classical expectation of how a ghost should look in the th century ad the christian priest constantius of lyon recorded an instance of the recurring theme of the improperly buried dead who come back to haunt the living and who can only cease their haunting when their bones have been discovered and properly reburied middle ages ghosts reported in medieval europe tended to fall into two categories the souls of the dead or demons the souls of the dead returned for a specific purpose demonic ghosts were those which existed only to torment or tempt the living the living could tell them apart by demanding their purpose in the name of jesus christ the soul of a dead person would divulge their mission while a demonic ghost would be banished at the sound of the holy name most ghosts were to atone for their transgressions in life their penance was generally related to their sin for example the ghost of a man who had been abusive to his servants was condemned to tear off and swallow bits of his own tongue the ghost of another man who had neglected to leave his cloak to the poor was condemned to wear the cloak now heavy as a church tower these ghosts appeared to the living to ask for prayers to end their suffering other dead souls returned to urge the living to confess their sins before their own deaths medieval european ghosts were more substantial than ghosts described in the victorian age and there are accounts of ghosts being wrestled with and physically restrained until a priest could arrive to hear its confession some were less solid and could move through walls often they were described as paler and sadder versions of the person they had been while alive and dressed in tattered gray rags the vast majority of reported sightings were male there were night in the forest or in the remains of an iron age hillfort as at wandlebury near cambridge england living knights were sometimes challenged to single combat by phantom knights which vanished when defeated from the medieval period an apparition of a ghost is recorded from at the time of the albigensian crusade gervase of tilbury marshal of arles wrote that the image of guilhem a boy recently murdered in the forest appeared in his cousin s home in beaucaire near avignon this series of visits lasted all of the summer through his cousin who spoke for him the boy allegedly held conversations with anyone who wished until the local priest requested to speak to the boy directly leading to an extended disquisition on theology the boy narrated the trauma of death and the unhappiness of his fellow souls in purgatory and reported that god was most pleased with the ongoing crusade against the cathar heretics launched three years earlier the time of the albigensian crusade this constant bloodshed and dislocation of populations being the context for these reported visits by the murdered boy haunted houses are featured in the thcentury arabian nights such as the tale of ali the cairene and the haunted house in baghdad european renaissance to romanticism renaissance magic took a revived interest in the occult including necromancy in the era of the reformation and counter reformation there was frequently a backlash against unwholesome interest in the dark arts typified by writers such as thomas erastus the swiss reformed pastor ludwig lavater supplied one of the most frequently reprinted books of the period with his of ghosts and spirits walking by night the child ballad sweet william s ghost recounts the story of a ghost returning to his fiance begging her to free him from his promise to marry her he can not marry her because he is dead but her refusal would mean his damnation this reflects a popular british belief that a new love without some formal release the unquiet grave expresses a belief even more widespread found in various locations over europe ghosts can stem from the excessive grief of the living whose mourning interferes with the dead s peaceful rest in many folktales from around the world the hero arranges for the burial of a dead man soon after he gains a companion who aids him and in the end the hero s companion reveals that he is in fact the dead man instances of this include the italian fairy tale fair brow and the swedish the bird grip modern period of western culture spiritualist movement editorial note spiritualism is a monotheistic belief system or religion postulating a belief in god but with a distinguishing feature of belief that spirits of the dead residing in the spirit world can be contacted by mediums who can then provide information about the afterlife by it was said to have more than eight million followers the middle and upper classes while the corresponding movement in continental europe and latin america is known as spiritism the religion flourished for a half century without canonical texts or formal organization attaining cohesion by periodicals tours by trance lecturers camp meetings and the missionary activities of accomplished mediums many prominent spiritualists were women most followers supported causes such as the abolition of slavery and women s suffrage by the late s credibility of the informal movement weakened due to accusations of fraud among mediums and formal spiritualist organizations began to appear spiritualism is currently practiced primarily through various denominational spiritualist churches in the united states and united kingdom spiritism editorial note spiritism or french spiritualism is based on the five books of the spiritist codification written by french educator hypolite lon denizard rivail under the pseudonym allan kardec reporting sances in which he observed a series of phenomena that he attributed to incorporeal intelligence spirits his assumption of spirit communication was validated by many contemporaries and studied the phenomena his work was later extended by writers like leon denis arthur conan doyle camille flammarion ernesto bozzano chico xavier divaldo pereira franco waldo vieira johannes greber and others spiritism has adherents in many countries throughout the world including spain united states canada japan germany france england argentina portugal and especially brazil which has the largest proportion and greatest number of followers scientific view the physician john ferriar wrote an essay towards a theory of apparitions in in which he argued that sightings of ghosts were the result of optical illusions later the french physician alexandre jacques franois brire de boismont published on hallucinations or the rational history of apparitions dreams ecstasy magnetism and somnambulism in in which he claimed sightings of ghosts were the result of hallucinations david turner a retired physical chemist suggested that ball lightning could cause inanimate objects to move erratically that there was no credible scientific evidence that any location was inhabited by spirits of the dead according to research in anomalistic psychology visions of ghosts may arise from hypnagogic hallucinations waking dreams which are experienced in the transitional states to and from sleep in a study of two experiments into alleged hauntings wiseman et al came to the conclusion that people consistently report unusual experiences in haunted areas because of environmental factors which may differ across locations some of these factors included the variance of local magnetic fields size of location and lighting level stimuli of which witnesses may not be consciously aware some researchers such as michael persinger of laurentian university canada have speculated that changes in geomagnetic fields created eg by tectonic stresses in the earth s crust or solar activity could stimulate the brain s temporal lobes and produce many of the experiences associated with hauntings sound is thought to be another cause of supposed sightings richard lord and richard wiseman have in a room such as anxiety extreme sorrow a feeling of being watched or even the chills carbon monoxide poisoning which can cause changes in perception of the visual and auditory systems was speculated upon as a possible explanation for haunted houses as early as by religion judochristian the hebrew torah and the bible contain a few references to ghosts associating spiritism with forbidden occult activities the most notable reference is in the first book of samuel in which a disguised king saul has the witch of endor summon the spiritghost of samuel in the new testament jesus has to persuade the disciples that he is not a ghost following the resurrection luke some versions of the bible such as the kjv and nkjv use the term spirit similarly jesus followers at first believe him to be a ghost spirit when they see him walking on water most of the christian church some ghosts are actually said to be demons in disguise timothy that they come to deceive people and draw them away from god and into bondage as a result attempts to contact the dead may lead to unwanted contact with a demon or an unclean spirit as was said to occur in the case of robbie mannheim a fourteenyearold maryland youth the seventhday adventist view is that a soul is not equivalent to spirit or ghost depending on the bible version and that save for the holy spirit all spiritsghosts are demons in disguise furthermore they teach that in accordance with genesis ecclesiastes there are only two components to a soul neither of which survives death with each returning to its respective source christadelphians reject the view of a living conscious soul after death the talmud tells of a being called a shade that is similar to other creatures in that it lives and dies but consists only of a form but lacks matter that forms mass

various nations the ghost story is ubiquitous across all cultures from oral folktales to works of literature renaissance to romanticism to one of the more recognizable ghosts in english literature is the shade of hamlet s murdered father in shakespeares the tragical history of hamlet prince of denmark in hamlet it is the ghost who demands that prince hamlet investigate his murder most foul and seek revenge upon his usurping uncle king claudius in shakespeares macbeth the murdered banquo returns as a ghost to the dismay of the title character in english renaissance theater ghosts were often depicted in the garb of the living and even in armor as with the ghost of hamlets father armor being outofdate by the time of the renaissance gave the stage ghost a sense of antiquity but the sheeted century because an armored ghost could not satisfactorily convey the requisite spookiness it clanked and creaked and had to be moved about by complicated pulley systems or elevators these clanking ghosts being hoisted about the stage became objects of ridicule as they became clichd stage elements ann jones and peter stallybrass in renaissance clothing and the materials of memory point out in fact it is as laughter increasingly threatens the ghost that he starts to be staged not in armor but in some form of spirit drapery an interesting observation by jones and stallybrass is that ghosts figured prominently in traditional british ballads of the th and th centuries particularly the border ballads of the turbulent border country between england and scotland ballads of this type include the unquiet grave the wife of usher s well and sweet william s ghost which feature the recurring theme of returning dead lovers or children in the ballad king kings horse and hounds before forcing the king into bed the king then awakens to find the ghost transformed into a beautiful woman one of the key early appearances by ghosts in a gothic tale was the castle of otranto by horace walpole in

terror the glare of evil faces the stony and longdrawn distant screams are all in place and so is a modicum of blood shed with deliberation and carefully husbanded famous literary apparitions from this period are the ghosts of a christmas carol in which ebenezer scrooge is helped to see the error of his ways by the ghost of his former colleague jacob marley and the ghosts of christmas past christmas present and christmas yet to come oscar wilde s comedy the canterville ghost has been adapted for film and television on several occasions henry james s the turn of the screw has also

human development index and as a high income country it used the latvian lats as its currency until this was replaced by the euro on january etymology the name latvija is derived from the name of the ancient latgalians one of four indoeuropean baltic tribes along with couronians selonians and semigallians which formed the ethnic core of modern latvians together with the finnic livonians history around bce the protobaltic ancestors of the latvian people settled on the eastern coast of the baltic sea the balts established trade routes to rome and byzantium trading local amber for precious metals by ce four selonians semigallians in latvian kuri latgai si and zemgai as well as the livonians lbiei speaking a finnic language the medieval period although the local people had contact with the outside world for centuries they were more fully integrated into european society in the th century the first missionaries sent by the pope sailed up the daugava river in the late th century seeking converts the local people however did not convert to christianity as readily as hoped german crusaders were sent into latvia to convert the population from their original pagan beliefs by force of arms in the beginning of the th century large parts of today s latvia were ruled by germans together with southern estonia these conquered areas formed the crusader state that became known as terra mariana or livonia in riga and later the cities of csis hanseatic league and formed close cultural contacts with western europe the reformation period the th th and th centuries were a time of great change for the inhabitants of latvia including the reformation the collapse of the livonian state and the time when the latvian territory was divided up among foreign powers after the livonian war livonia latvia fell under polish and lithuanian rule the southern part of estonia and the northern part of latvia were ceded to the grand duchy of lithuania and formed into the ducatus ultradunensis prdaugavas hercogiste gotthard kettler the last master of the order of livonia formed the duchy of courland and semigallia though the duchy was a vassal state to poland it retained a considerable degree of autonomy and experienced a golden age in the th century latgalia the easternmost region of latvia became a part of the polish district of inflanty the th and early th centuries saw a struggle between the the eastern baltic after the polishswedish war northern livonia including vidzeme came under swedish rule riga became the capital of swedish livonia and the largest city in the entire swedish empire fighting continued sporadically between sweden and poland until the truce of altmark in in latvia the swedish period is generally remembered as positive serfdom was eased a network of schools was established for the peasantry and the power of the regional barons was diminished several important cultural changes occurred during this time under swedish and largely german rule western latvia adopted lutheranism as its main religion the ancient tribes of the couronians semigallians selonians livs and northern latgallians assimilated to form the latvian people speaking one latvian language throughout all the centuries however no such thing as a latvian state existed so the borders and definitions of who exactly fell within that group are largely subjective meanwhile largely isolated from the rest of latvia southern latgallians adopted catholicism under polishjesuit influence many polish and russian loanwords latvia in the russian empire the capitulation of estonia and livonia in and the treaty of nystad ending the great northern war in gave vidzeme to russia it became part of the governorate of livonia during the great northern war up to per cent of latvians died from famine and plague half the residents of riga were killed by plague in the promises peter the great made to the baltic german nobility at the fall of riga in confirmed by the treaty

palace offered as a gift by riga magistrate together with keys from riga palace purchased by him is still standing keys are exhibited in moscow kremlin museum curiously peter the great s wife marta later catherine i of russia was the only the serfs took place in courland in and in vidzeme in in practice however the emancipation was actually advantageous to the landowners and nobility as it dispossessed peasants of their land without compensation forcing them to return to work at the estates of their own free will during the th century the social structure changed dramatically a class of independent farmers established itself after reforms allowed the peasants to repurchase their land but many landless peasants remained there also developed a growing urban proletariat and an increasingly influential latvian bourgeoisie the young latvian movement laid the groundwork for nationalism from the middle of the century many of its leaders looking to the slavophiles for support against the prevailing germandominated social order the rise in use of the latvian language in literature and society became known as the first national awakening russification began in latgale after the polish led the january uprising in this spread to the rest of what is now latvia by the s the young latvians were largely and political movement in the s popular discontent exploded in the russian revolution which took a nationalist character in the baltic provinces during these two centuries latvia experienced economic and construction boom ports were expanded riga became the largest port in the russian empire railways built new factories banks and university were established many residential public theatres and museums and school buildings erected new parks formed etc riga s boulevards and streets with beautiful buildings outside the old town date from this period declaration of independence world war i devastated the territory of what would become the state of latvia including other western parts of the russian empire demands for selfdetermination were at first confined to autonomy but the russian revolution treaty with germany at brestlitovsk and allied armistice with germany on november created a power vacuum the people s council of latvia proclaimed the independence of the new country in riga on november with krlis ulmanis becoming independence that followed was part of a general chaotic period of civil and new border wars in eastern europe by the spring of there were actually three governmentsulmanis s government the latvian soviet government led by pteris stuka whose forces supported by the red army occupied almost all of the country and the baltic german government of the united baltic duchy headed by andrievs niedra and supported by the baltische landeswehr and the german freikorps unit iron division estonian and latvian forces a freely elected constituent assembly convened on may and adopted a liberal constitution the satversme in february the constitution was partly suspended by krlis ulmanis after his coup in but reaffirmed in since then it has been amended and is still in effect in latvia today with most of latvia s industrial base evacuated to the interior of russia in radical land reform was the central political question for the young state in that percentage had been reduced to by the extent of cultivated land surpassed the prewar level innovation and rising productivity led to rapid growth of the economy but it soon suffered from the effects of the great depression latvia showed signs of economic recovery and the electorate had steadily moved toward the centre during the parliamentary period on may ulmanis staged a bloodless coup establishing a nationalist dictatorship that lasted until after ulmanis established government corporations to buy up private firms with the aim of latvianising the economy latvia in world war ii early in the morning of august the soviet union and nazi germany signed a year nonaggression pact called the molotovribbentrop pact the pact contained a secret protocol revealed only after germany s defeat in according to which the states of northern and eastern europe were divided into german and soviet spheres of influence in the north latvia finland and estonia were assigned to the soviet sphere respective portions of poland after the conclusion of the molotovribbentrop pact most of the baltic germans left latvia by agreement between ulmanis government and nazi germany under the heim ins reich programme in total baltic germans left by the deadline of december with remaining to conclude business and choosing to remain in latvia most of those who remained left for germany in summer when a second resettlement on october latvia was forced to accept a mutual assistance pact with the soviet union granting the soviets the right to station between and troops on latvian territory after staging border incidents on june the government of the ussr handed the latvian ambassador in moscow a note in which latvia was accused of breaching the articles of the agreement of october and demands were made for sending in additional soviet troops and to change the government the latvian government capitulated in the face of overwhelming force on june soviet troops invaded latvian territory in soviet forces are marching into our land this very morning this is happening with the knowledge and consent of the government which in turn stems from the amicable relations that exist between latvia and the soviet union it is therefore my wish that the residents of our country also show friendship towards the advancing military units the government has resigned i shall remain in my place you remain in yours no opposition was shown towards the soviet forces on the contrary part of the population accepted the news of their arrival with enthusiasm which was heavily exploited by soviet propaganda the well known russian lawyer and public figure of latvia pyotr yakobi wrote taken from the german model the authoritarian beginning in our country has turned into a government of national bureaucracy having satisfied a limited circle of citizens who have adapted themselves to the state pie clearly any hardship is not in vain and so now the downtrodden have raised their voice and demand a return those unhappy with the regime of krlis ulmanis included people who were anxious about the deteriorating economic situation and had no desire to end up under nazi german rule state administrators were liquidated and replaced by soviet cadres in which latvians were deported or killed elections were held with single prosoviet candidates listed for many positions the resulting people s assembly immediately requested admission into the ussr which the soviet union granted latvia then a puppet government was headed by augusts kirhenteins the soviet union incorporated latvia on august as the latvian soviet socialist republic the soviets dealt harshly with their opponents prior to the german invasion in less than a year at least people were arrested most were deported for cooperating with the german army and about were shot under german occupation latvia was administered as part of reichskommissariat ostland latvian paramilitary and auxiliary police units established by the occupation authority participated in the holocaust as well more including approximately latvian jews murdered during the nazi occupation latvian soldiers fought on both sides of the conflict including in the latvian legion of the waffenss most of them conscripted by the occupying nazi and soviet authorities soviet era in when soviet military advances reached the area heavy fighting took place in latvia between german and soviet troops which ended in another german defeat in the course of the war both occupying forces conscripted latvians into their armies in this way increasing the loss of the nation s live resources in part of the latvian territory once more came under soviet control the soviets immediately began to reinstate the soviet system after the german surrender it became clear that soviet forces were there to stay and latvian national partisans soon joined by german collaborators began to fight against the new occupier anywhere from to as many as latvians took refuge from the soviet army by fleeing to germany and sweden with perhaps as many as to of them recaptured by the soviets or during few months immediately after the end of war returned by the west the soviets reoccupied the country in and further deportations followed as the country was collectivised and sovieticised on march rural residents kulaks and latvian patriots nationalists were deported to siberia in a sweeping operation priboi in all three baltic states which was carefully planned and approved in moscow already on january an extensive programme to impose bilingualism was initiated in latvia limiting the use of latvian language in official uses in favour of using russian as the main language all of the minority schools jewish polish belorussian estonian lithuanian were closed down leaving only two media of instructions in the schools latvian

latvia reached its peak in at just under million people half of the s soviet leader mikhail gorbachev started to introduce political and economic reforms in the soviet union that were called glasnost and perestroika in the summer of the first large demonstrations were held in riga at the freedom monumenta symbol of independence in the summer of a national movement coalescing in the popular front of latvia was opposed by the interfront the latvian ssr along with the other baltic republics was allowed greater autonomy and in the old prewar flag of latvia flew again replacing the soviet latvian flag as the official flag in in the supreme soviet of the ussr adopted a resolution on the occupation of the baltic states in which it declared the occupation not in accordance with law and not the

suitable for underground gas storage demographics the total fertility rate tfr in was estimated at children bornwoman which is lower than the replacement rate of in of births were to unmarried women the life expectancy in was estimated at years years male years female ethnic groups latvia s population has been multiethnic for centuries though the demographics shifted dramatically in the th century due to the world wars the emigration and removal of baltic germans the holocaust and occupation by the soviet union according to the russian empire census of latvians formed of the total population of million russians accounted for jews for germans for and poles for as of march latvians and livonians about people the indigenous peoples of latvia form about of the population while are russians belarusians ukrainians poles germans estonians and others there were noncitizens living in latvia or of latvian residents mainly ethnic russians who arrived after the occupation of and their descendants in some cities eg daugavpils and rzekne ethnic latvians constitute a minority of the total population despite the fact that the proportion of ethnic latvians has been steadily increasing for more than a decade ethnic latvians also make up slightly less than a half of the population of the capital city of latvia rga the share of ethnic latvians had fallen from in to in in there were even fewer latvians than in though their share of the population was larger of the population language the sole official language of latvia is latvian which belongs to the baltic language group of the indoeuropean language family another notable language of latvia is the nearly extinct livonian language of the finnic branch of the uralic language family which or distinct separate language of latvian is also formally protected by latvian law but only as a historical variation of the latvian language russian which was widely spoken during the soviet period is still the most widely used minority language by far about speak it at home including persons who are not ethnically russian while it is now required that all school students learn latvian most schools also include english and either german or russian in their curricula the english language is widely accepted in latvia especially in business and tourism as of there are schools for minorities that use russian as the language of instruction for of subjects the rest of subjects are taught in latvian however latvian government is planning to completely abolish russian as the language of instruction by on february latvia held a constitutional referendum on whether to adopt russian as a second official language according to the central election commission voted against voted for and the voter latvia s russian speaking community or of latvia s entire population could not vote in this referendum because they hold noncitizen status and thus have no right to vote religion the largest religion in latvia is christianity though only about of the population attends religious services regularly the largest groups as of were evangelical lutheran church of latvia russian orthodox the country s orthodox christians belong to the latvian orthodox church a semiautonomous body within the russian orthodox church in there were jews and muslims living in latvia there are more than latvian neopagans dievturi the godskeepers whose religion is based on latvian mythology about of the total population is not affiliated with a specific religion education riga technical university and university of latvia are two major universities in the country both been established on the basis of riga polytechnical institute and located in riga another two important universities which were established latvia university of agriculture established in on the basis of the faculty of agriculture and riga stradi university established in on the basis of the faculty of medicine both nowadays cover a variety of different fields daugavpils university is another significant centre of education latvia closed schools between and which is a decline and in the same period enrolment in educational institutions has fallen by over people a decline health the latvian healthcare system is a universal programme largely funded through government taxation it is among the lowestranked healthcare systems in europe due to excessive waiting times for treatment insufficient access to the latest medicines and other factors there were hospitals in latvia in down from in and in corruption is relatively widespread in the latvian healthcare system though the situation has improved since the early s it has been noted that an environment conducive to corruption has been promulgated by low salaries and drain mostly to western eu nations as of there were approximately inhabitants of latvia living with hivaids accounting for a adult hiv prevalence rate there were individual instances of clinically reported alcoholism in latvia in as well as cases of addictions to other substances the annual number of births per adolescent women aged to has declined from in to in in latvia had a suicide rate of per inhabitants down from in the th highest in the world culture traditional latvian folklore especially the dance of the folk songs date back well over a thousand years more than million texts and melodies of folk songs have been identified between the th and th centuries baltic germans many of whom were originally of nongerman ancestry but had been assimilated into german culture formed the upper class they developed distinct cultural heritage characterised by both latvian and to this day in spite of their dispersal to germany the usa canada and other countries in the early th century however most indigenous latvians did not participate in this particular cultural life thus the mostly peasant local pagan heritage was preserved partly merging with christian traditions for example one of the most popular celebrations is ji a pagan celebration of the summer solsticewhich latvians celebrate on the feast day of st john the baptist in the th century latvian nationalist movements emerged they promoted latvian culture and encouraged latvians to take part in cultural activities the th century and beginning of the th century is often regarded as a classical era of latvian culture posters show the influence of other european cultures for example works of artists such as the balticgerman artist bernhard borchert and the french raoul dufy with the onset of world war ii many latvian artists and other members of the cultural elite fled the country yet continued to produce their work largely for a latvian important event in latvian culture and social life it has been held since normally every five years approximately performers altogether participate in the event although usually folksongs and classical choir songs are sung with emphasis on a cappella singing recently modern popular songs have been incorporated into the repertoire as well after incorporation into the soviet union latvian artists and writers were forced to follow the socialist realism style of art during the soviet era music became increasingly popular with the most popular being songs from the s at this time songs often made fun of the characteristics of soviet life and were concerned about preserving latvian identity this aroused popular protests against the ussr and also gave rise to an increasing popularity of poetry since independence theatre scenography choir during july riga will host the th world choir games as it plays host to over choristers representing over choirs and over countries the festival is the biggest of its kind in the world city cuisine latvian cuisine typically consists of agricultural products with meat featuring in most main meal dishes fish is commonly consumed due to latvia s location on the baltic sea latvian cuisine has been influenced by the neighbouring countries common ingredients in latvian recipes are found locally such as potatoes wheat barley cabbage onions eggs and pork latvian food is generally quite fatty and uses few spices grey peas and ham are generally considered as staple foods of latvians sorrel soup is also consumed by latvians rupjmaize is a dark bread made from rye considered the national staple sport ice hockey is usually considered the most popular sport in latvia latvia has had many famous hockey stars like helmut balderis artrs irbe krlis skrasti and sandis ozoli among others dinamo riga is the country s strongest hockey club playing in the kontinental hockey league the iihf world championship was held in riga latvia the second most popular sport is basketball biedri who plays in the nba latvia has a long basketballing tradition as the latvian national basketball team won the first ever eurobasket in and silver medals in after losing an impressively tenacious final to fellow balts lithuanians by one point latvia had many european basketball stars like jnis krmi maigonis valdmanis valdis muinieks valdis valters igors miglinieks as well as the first latvian nba player gundars vtra former latvian

 nanomedicine is the medical application of nanotechnology nanomedicine ranges from the medical applications of nanomaterials to nanoelectronic biosensors and even possible future applications of molecular nanotechnology current problems for nanomedicine involve understanding the issues related to toxicity and environmental impact of nanoscale materials materials whose structure is on the scale of nanometers ie billionths of a meter nanomedicine research is receiving funding from the us national institutes of health of note is the funding in of a fiveyear plan to set up four nanomedicine centers in april the journal nature materials estimated that nanotechbased drugs and delivery systems were being developed worldwide overview the biological and medical research communities have exploited the unique properties of nanomaterials for various applications eg contrast agents for cell imaging and therapeutics for treating cancer terms such as biomedical nanotechnology nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine are used to describe this hybrid field functionalities can be added to nanomaterials by of nanomaterials is similar to that of most biological molecules and structures therefore nanomaterials can be useful for both in vivo and in vitro biomedical research and applications thus far the integration of nanomaterials with biology has led to the development of diagnostic devices contrast agents analytical tools physical therapy applications and drug delivery vehicles nanomedicine seeks to deliver a valuable set of research tools and clinically useful devices in the near future the national nanotechnology initiative expects new commercial applications in the pharmaceutical industry that may include advanced drug delivery systems new therapies and in vivo imaging neuroelectronic interfaces and other nanoelectronicsbased sensors are another active goal of research further down the line the speculative field of molecular nanotechnology believes that cell repair machines could revolutionize medicine and the medical field nanomedicine is a large industry with nanomedicine sales reaching billion in and with over companies and products worldwide a minimum of billion in nanotechnology rampd is being invested every year as the nanomedicine industry significant impact on the economy medical use of nanomaterials two forms of nanomedicine that have already been tested in mice and are awaiting human trials that will be using gold nanoshells to help diagnose and treat cancer and using liposomes as vaccine adjuvants and as vehicles for drug transport similarly drug detoxification is also another application for nanomedicine which has shown promising results in rats a benefit of using nanoscale for medical technologies is that smaller devices are less invasive and can possibly be implanted inside the body plus biochemical reaction times are much shorter these devices are faster and more sensitive than typical drug delivery advances in lipid nanotechnology was also instrumental in engineering medical nanodevices and novel drug delivery systems as well as in developing sensing applications drug delivery nanotechnology has provided the possibility of delivering drugs to specific cells using nanoparticles the overall drug consumption and sideeffects may be lowered significantly by depositing the active agent in the morbid region only and in no higher dose than needed this highly selective approach would found in dendrimers and nanoporous materials another example is to use block copolymers which form micelles for drug encapsulation they could hold small drug molecules transporting them to the desired location another vision is based on small electromechanical systems nanoelectromechanical systems are being investigated for the active release of drugs some potentially important applications include cancer treatment with iron nanoparticles or gold shells targeted drug delivery is intended to reduce the side effects of drugs with concomitant decreases in consumption and treatment expenses the increased efficiency of delivery results in overall societal benefit by reducing the amount of drug needed in an equipotent preparation of said therapy and thus reduced cost to the consumer nanomedical approaches to drug delivery center on developing nanoscale particles or molecules to improve drug bioavailability bioavailability refers to the presence of drug molecules where they are needed in the body and where they will do the most good drug delivery focuses on maximizing bioavailability both at specific places in the body and over a period of time this can potentially be achieved by targeting the molecules and delivering drugs with cell precision more than billion are wasted each year due to poor bioavailability in vivo imaging is another area where tools and devices are being developed using nanoparticle contrast agents images such as ultrasound and mri have a favorable distribution and improved contrast the new methods of nanoengineered materials that are being developed might be effective in treating illnesses and diseases such as cancer what nanoscientists will be able to achieve in the future is beyond current imagination this might be accomplished by self assembled biocompatible nanodevices that will detect evaluate treat and report to the clinical doctor automatically drug delivery systems lipid or polymerbased nanoparticles can be designed to improve the pharmacological and therapeutic properties of drugs the strength of drug delivery systems is their ability to alter the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of the drug however the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of nanomedicine is highly variable among different patients when designed to avoid the body s defence mechanisms nanoparticles have beneficial properties larger particles would have been cleared from the body cells take up these nanoparticles because of their size complex drug delivery mechanisms are being developed including the ability to get drugs through cell membranes and into cell cytoplasm efficiency is important because many diseases depend upon processes within the cell and can only be impeded by drugs that make their way into the cell triggered response is one way for drug molecules to be used more efficiently drugs are placed in the body and only activate on encountering a particular signal for example a drug with poor solubility will be replaced by a drug delivery system where both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments exist improving the solubility also a drug may cause tissue damage but with drug delivery regulated drug release can eliminate the problem if a drug is cleared too quickly from the body this could force a patient to use high doses but with drug delivery systems clearance can be reduced by altering the pharmacokinetics of the drug poor biodistribution is a problem the particulates from drug delivery systems lower the volume of distribution and reduce the effect on nontarget tissue potential nanodrugs will work by very specific and wellunderstood mechanisms one of the major impacts of nanotechnology and nanoscience will be in leading development of completely new drugs with more useful behavior and less side effects polymeric nanoparticles are a competing technology to lipidic based mainly on phospholipids nanoparticles there is an additional risk of toxicity associated with polymers not widely studied or understood this toxicity could include but not limited to hepatotoxicity nephrotoxicity etc and can have long term impacts not easily evaluated in short term invivo clinical trials either in animals or humans since the degradation of polymers to either their monomers or other degradation products in the body can not be accurately predicted unclear metabolic pathway this is a real risk specially in medicines intended for long term patient use even if the toxicity is ignored there is additional hepatic load of metabolism again an area of concern for long term medication cost and predictable characterisation so the formulation chemists prefer this however in the patient s body this very stability slow degradation is a negative factor phospholipids on the other hand are membrane lipids already present in the body and surrounding each cell have a gras generally recognised as safe status from fda and are derived from natural sources without any complex chemistry involved they are not metabolised but rather absorbed by the body and the degradation products are themselves nutrients fats or micronutrients it is greatly observed that nanoparticles are promising tools for the advancement of drug delivery medical imaging and as diagnostic sensors however the biodistribution of these nanoparticles is still imperfect due to the complex host s reactions to nano and microsized materials sup sup and the difficulty in targeting specific organs in the body nevertheless a lot of work is still ongoing to optimize and better understand the potential and limitations of nanoparticulate systems for example current research in the excretory systems of mice organs based on their size and charge these composites are encapsulated by a dendrimer and assigned a specific charge and size positivelycharged gold nanoparticles were found to enter the kidneys while negativelycharged gold nanoparticles remained in the liver and spleen it is suggested that the positive surface charge of the nanoparticle decreases the rate of opsonization of nanoparticles in the liver thus affecting the excretory pathway even at a relatively small size of nm though these particles can become compartmentalized in the peripheral tissues and will therefore accumulate in the body over time while advancement of research proves that targeting and distribution can be augmented by nanoparticles the dangers of nanotoxicity become an important next step in further understanding of their medical uses nanoparticles are also used to circumvent multidrug resistance mdr mechanisms mechanisms of mdr include decreased uptake of drugs reduced intracellular drug concentration by activation of the efflux transporters modifications in cellular pathways by altering cell cycle checkpoints increased metabolism of drugs induced emergency response genes to impair apoptotic pathways research studies abraxane approved by the us food and drug administration fda to treat breast cancer nonsmall cell lung cancer nsclc and pancreatic cancer is the nanoparticle albumin bound paclitaxel doxil was originally approved by the fda for the use on hivrelated kaposi s sarcoma it is now being used to also treat ovarian cancer and multiple myeloma the drug is encased in liposomes which helps to extend the life of the drug that is being distributed liposomes are selfassembling spherical closed colloidal structures that are composed of lipid bilayers that surround an aqueous space the liposomes also help to increase the functionality and it helps to decrease the damage that the drug does to the heart muscles specifically in a mice study scientists from rice university and university of texas md anderson cancer center reported enhanced effectiveness and reduced toxicity of an existing treatment for head and neck cancer when using the nanoparticles to deliver the drug the hydrophilic carbonic clusters functionalized with polyethylene glycol or peghcc are mixed with the chemotherapeutic receptor egfr targeted cetuximab and injected intravenously they found the tumors were killed more effectively with radiation and the healthy tissue suffered less toxicity than without the nanotechnology drug delivery the standard treatment contains cremophor el which allows the hydrophobic paclitaxel to be delivered intravenously replacing the toxic cremophor with carbon nanoparticles eliminated its side effect and improved drug targeting which in turn required a lower dose of the toxic paclitaxel researchers at case western reserve university reported using nanoparticle chain to deliver doxorubicin to breast cancer cells in a mice study three magnetic ironoxide nanospheres were chemically linked to one doxorubicinloaded liposome and formed a nm long nanoparticle chain after the nanochains penetrated the tumor radiofrequency field was generated that caused the magnetic nanoparticles to vibrate and rupture the liposome dispersing the drug in its free form throughout the tumor the result showed that the nano treatment was more effective in halting tumor growth than the standard treatment with doxorubicin it is also less harmful to healthy cells since only to of the standard dose peg carrying payload of antibiotics at its core could swift charge thus allowing them to target bacterial infection more precisely inside the body a group of mit researchers reported the nanoparticles containing a sublayer of ph sensitive chains of the amino acid histidine carry a slightly negative charge when circulating in the blood stream can evade detection and clearing by the immune system when they encounter an infection site the particles gain a positive charge provoked by the slightly acidic environment at the infection sites allowing them to bind to the negatively charged bacterial cell walls and release antibiotics at locally high concentration this nano delivery system can potentially destroy bacteria even if it has developed resistance to antibiotics because of the targeted high dose and prolonged release of the drug although a lot of work is still needed the researchers believe that it points to a new direction of using nanotechnology to treat infectious disease using the biomimetic strategy researchers in the harvard university wyss institute demonstrated in a mouse model that the drug coated nanoparticles regions in the blood vessels just like the platelets do aggregates of biodegradable nanoparticles coated with tissue plasminogen activator tpa each about the size of a platelet were injected intravenously in the region of vessel narrowing shear stresses dissociate the aggregates and release the tpacoated nanoparticles which bind and degrade the blood clots by prcised targeting and concentrating drug at the location of obstruction the dose used is less than th of the normal dose the nanotherapeutics will greatly reduce the severe side effect of bleeding commonly found in standard treatment of thrombosis an early phase clinical trial using the platform of minicell nanoparticle for drug delivery have been tested on patients with advanced and untreatable cancer built from the membranes of mutant bacteria the minicells were loaded with paclitaxel and coated with cetuximab antibodies that bind the epidermal growth factor receptor egfr which is often overexpressed in a number of cancers as a homing device to the tumor cells the tumor cells recognize the bacteria from which the minicells engulf it once inside the payload of anticancer drug kills the tumor cells measured at nanometers the minicell is bigger than synthetic particles developed for drug delivery the researchers indicated that this larger size gives the minicells a better profile in sideeffects because the minicells will preferentially leak out of the porous blood vessels around the tumor cells and do not reach the liver digestive system and skin this phase clinical trial demonstrated that this treatment is well tolerated by the patients as a platform technology the minicell drug delivery system can be used to treat a number of different cancers with different anticancer drugs with the benefit of lower dose and less sideeffects researchers at the methodist hospital research institute in houston have created leukolike vectors or llvs llvs are the drugcarrying silicon nanoparticles coated with the lipoprotein removed from the membranes of the white blood cells leukocytes the cloaked nanoparticles were found to behave like leukocytes are able to evade the body s immune system and survive much longer the scientists expressed that llvs are able to overcome a major hurdle in nanomedicine delivery by avoiding clearance in blood stream crossing the biological barriers and localizing at target tissues due to its leukocyte like characters synthetic membranes are expected to develop in the future to replace harvest from the white blood cells due to the limited source of leukocyte inhalable nanocarriers were developed using a nanostructured lipid nanocarrierbased system nlcs the lipid nanoparticles contain the drug payload doxorubicin or paclitaxel two types of small interfering rna sirna targeted the bcl mrna to suppress nonpump cellular resistance and mrp mrna to suppress pump drug resistance and the targeting molecules an analog of luteinizing hormonereleasing hormone lhrh which homes in the overexpressed receptors of the cancer cells the disease model tested was a mouse model of human lung cancer results showed enhanced antitumor activity and significant reduction of exposure of healthy organs when compared to the conventional intravenous treatment selfpowered nanoparticles with a payload of osteoporosis drug are reported to be pulled ion gradients generated by leaked minerals ions from the bone and deliver highly targeted drugs for healing using a model system of human tibia and femur researchers from pennsylvania state university and boston university used nanoparticles of polylacticcoglycolic acid widely used in medical devices carrying sodium alendronate an osteoporosis drug for the in vitro experiments and found the nanotrucks successfully carry the drug to the fresh crack of the human bone nanodiamond is diamond particle with a diameter of to nm and surface functional groups to bind various kinds of molecule clusters of the nanodiamonds in the range of nm in diameter can be manufactured to trap drug inside and slowly release the payload experiments by researchers in northwestern university on mouse models with chemotherapyresistant liver and breast cancers show that the nanodiamonds with a normally lethal dose of doxorubicin significantly reduce the size of the tumors without toxic side effects expected from the drug if administered alone the nanodiamond drug complex is found to have a much longer and once inside the tumor the nanoparticles are retained much longer additional studies using nanodiamonds include treating the triplenegative breast cancer with epirubicin and glioblastoma with doxorubicin increase in survival rate with reduced side effects were observed in both the mouse models ucla reported that contact lens embedded with nanodiamonds at the size of nm in diameter and loaded with the glaucoma drug timolol maleate allow controlled and sustained release of the medicine the nanodiamonds were combined with the polymer chitosan which is cleaved when the lens make contact with the lysozyme in tears the drug releases slowly in the eyes when the nanodiamond structure breaks down in regenerative medicine research silica based nanoparticles are used to deliver molecules to transplanted cells derived from stem cells using a mouse model scientists delivered two synthetic versions of neurotrophic growth factors locally using mesoporous nanoparticles to motor neurons derived from transplanted embryonic stem cells and reported improved long term survival and functional differentiation of the transplant in vivo nanoparticle with a liposomal core and a gel to shrink breast cancer tumor in a mouse model researchers in the north carolina state university designed this nanoparticle called gelipo to deliver both drugs simultaneously and maximize the efficiency of both the crosslinked hyaluronic acid ha shell holds and protects the tumor necrosis factorrelated apoptosisinducing ligand trail while the core carries liposomes filled with doxorubicin embedded with peptide ha preferentially concentrates in hyaluronidase haase rich tumor environment and interacts with receptors on the cancer cell membranes when the haase degrades the gel shell of gelipo the trail protein is released onto the cell membrane and triggers apoptosis cell death the core liposomes are internalized by the tumor cells into endosomes the cellular transport system the peptide breaks down the endosome and releases doxorubicin intracellularly maximizes the efficacy while minimizes the toxic side effects protein and peptide delivery protein and peptides exert multiple biological actions in the human body and they have been identified as showing great promise for treatment of various diseases and disorders these macromolecules are using nanomaterials like nanoparticles and dendrimers is an emerging field called nanobiopharmaceutics and these products are called nanobiopharmaceuticals applications and reported research studies nanoparticles delivering the myelin antigens were found to induce immune tolerance in a mouse model with relapsing multiple sclerosis biodegradable polystyrene microparticles coated with the myelin sheath peptides reset the mouse s immune system and prevent the disease from recurring or reduce the symptoms by halting the attack of the immune system to the protective myelin sheath coating the nerve fibers of the central nervous system team of researchers in northwestern university indicated that this treatment method can potentially be used in other autoimmune diseases researchers at ucla developed a nanoparticle system with watersoluble shell encapsulated a protein derived from bird anemia virus apoptin apoptin selectively sends selfdestruct signal to tumor cells and trigger the programmed cell death apoptosis as it builds up in the nucleus while leaving healthy cells unharmed in the mouse model of human breast cancer the treatment was found to significantly reduce the tumors growth this new form of treatment harming healthy cells a common pitfall of chemotherapy and no probability of genetic mutation that usually accompanies gene therapy a nanonetwork of nanoparticles with a solid core of insulin modified dextran and glucose oxidase was demonstrated to be able to regulate and maintain normal blood sugar level in a mouse model with type diabetes for up to days the nanoparticle is coated with either the positively charged chitosan from shrimp shells or negatively charged alginate from seaweed the opposite charges hold the nanoparticles together as a nanonetwork even after they are injected subcutaneously the porous particles allow blood to make contact with the nanoparticle cores when there is high blood sugar level glucose oxidase is activated and breaks down the dextran into gluconic acid the disintegration of the cores releases the insulin which controls the blood sugar level to the normal range cancer the small size of nanoparticles endows them with properties that can be very useful in oncology particularly in imaging quantum dots nanoparticles with quantum confinement properties in conjunction with mri magnetic resonance imaging can produce exceptional images of tumor sites these nanoparticles are much brighter than organic dyes and only need one light source for excitation this means that the use of fluorescent quantum dots could produce a higher contrast image and at a lower cost than today s organic dyes used as contrast media the downside however is that quantum dots are usually made of quite toxic elements another nanoproperty high surface area to volume ratio allows many functional groups to be attached to a nanoparticle which can seek out and bind to certain tumor cells additionally the small size of nanoparticles to nanometers allows them to preferentially accumulate at tumor sites because tumors lack an effective lymphatic drainage system research into multifunctional nanoparticles that would detect image and then proceed to treat a tumor is under way a promising new cancer treatment that may one day replace radiation and chemotherapy is edging closer to human trials kanzius rf therapy inside the body with radio waves that heat only the nanoparticles and the adjacent cancerous cells sensor test chips containing thousands of nanowires able to detect proteins and other biomarkers left behind by cancer cells could enable the detection and diagnosis of cancer in the early stages from a few drops of a patient s blood the basic point to use drug delivery is based upon three facts a efficient encapsulation of the drugs b successful delivery of said drugs to the targeted region of the body and c successful release of that drug there researchers at rice university under prof jennifer west have demonstrated the use of nm diameter nanoshells coated with gold to kill cancer tumors in mice the nanoshells can be targeted to bond to cancerous cells by conjugating antibodies or peptides to the nanoshell surface by irradiating the area of the tumor with an infrared laser which passes through flesh without heating it the gold is heated sufficiently to cause death to the cancer cells limitations to and lack of solubility nanoparticles have the potential to overcome these problems nanoparticles of cadmium selenide quantum dots glow when exposed to ultraviolet light when injected they seep into cancer tumors the surgeon can see the glowing tumor and use it as a guide for more accurate tumor removal in photodynamic therapy a particle is placed within the body and is illuminated with light from the outside the light gets absorbed by the particle and if the particle is metal energy from the light will heat the particle and surrounding tissue light may also be used to produce high energy oxygen molecules which will chemically react with and destroy most organic molecules that are next to them like tumors this therapy is appealing for many reasons it does not leave a toxic trail of reactive molecules throughout the body chemotherapy because it is directed where only the light is shined and the particles exist photodynamic therapy has potential for a noninvasive procedure for dealing with diseases growth and tumors numerous therapeutic functions into a single platform by targeting specific tumor cells tissues and organs actually conde et al reported the evaluation of the inflammatory response and therapeutic sirna silencing via rgdnanoparticles in a lung cancer mouse model this study reported the use of sirnargd gold nanoparticles capable of targeting tumor cells in two lung cancer xenograft mouse models resulting in successful and significant cmyc oncogene downregulation followed by tumor growth inhibition and prolonged survival of the animals this delivery system can achieve translocation of sirna duplexes directly into the tumour cell cytoplasm and accomplish successful silencing of an oncogene expression actually rgdsirnaaunps can target preferentially and be taken up by tumor cells via integrin vreceptormediated endocytosis with no cytotoxicity showing that can accumulate in tumor tissues overexpressing v integrins and selectively delivered cmyc sirna to suppress tumor growth and angiogenesis surgery at rice university a flesh welder is used to fuse two pieces of chicken meat into a single piece the two pieces of chicken are placed dribbled along the seam an infrared laser is traced along the seam causing the two sides to weld together this could solve the difficulties and blood leaks caused when the surgeon tries to restitch the arteries that have been cut during a kidney or heart transplant the flesh welder could weld the artery perfectly visualization tracking movement can help determine how well drugs are being distributed or how substances are metabolized it is difficult to track a small group of cells throughout the body so scientists used to dye the cells these dyes needed to be excited by light of a certain wavelength in order for them to light up while different color dyes absorb different frequencies of light there was a need for as many light sources as cells a way around this problem is with luminescent tags these tags are quantum dots attached to proteins that penetrate cell membranes the dots can be random in size can be made of bioinert material and they demonstrate the nanoscale property that color is sizedependent the frequency of light used to make a group of quantum dots fluoresce is an even multiple of the frequency required to make another group incandesce then both groups can be lit with a single light source they have also found a way to insert nanoparticles into the affected parts of the body so that those parts of the body will glow showing the tumor growth or shrinkage or also organ trouble tissue engineering nanotechnology may be able to help reproduce or repair damaged tissue tissue engineering makes use of artificially stimulated cell proliferation by using suitable nanomaterialbased scaffolds and growth factors for example bones could be regrown on carbon nanotube scaffolds tissue engineering might replace today s conventional treatments like organ transplants or artificial implants advanced forms of tissue engineering may lead to life extension artificial bone composites are also being manufactured from nanocrystalline calcium phosphates antimicrobial effects nanoparticles can be used in combination therapy for decreasing antibiotic resistance or for their antimicrobial properties it has been shown that zinc oxide nanoparticles can decrease the antibiotic in vitro nanoparticles can interfere with the different proteins which are interacting in the antibiotic resistance or pharmacologic mechanisms of drugs another example is silver which has been used for the treatment of burns and chronic wounds antibacterial and antifungal properties of nanoparticles have widened their applications in medicine and dentistry immune response buckyballs have been investigated for the ability to interrupt the allergyimmune response by preventing mast cells which cause allergic response from releasing histamine into the blood and tissues by binding to free radicals dramatically better than any antioxidant currently available such as vitamin e in february university of pennsylvania researchers developed a way to prevent nano particles from triggering an immune system response which could aid the delivery of medicinal nanoparticles some time in future this is done by using the protein cd found on most mammalian cell membranes which binds to the sirpa in macrophages preventing an immune response from being triggered arthroscope nanotechnology is helping to advance the use of arthroscopes which are pencilsized devices that can do the surgeries with smaller incisions the smaller the incisions the faster the healing time which is better for the patients it is also helping to find a way to make an arthroscope smaller than a strand of hair diagnostic and medical devices nanotechnologyonachip is one more dimension of labonachip technology magnetic nanoparticles bound to a suitable antibody are used to label specific molecules structures or microorganisms gold nanoparticles tagged with short segments of dna can be used for detection of genetic sequence in a sample multicolor optical coding for biological assays has been achieved by

dynamic programming by bertsekas and tsitsiklis and applied to multidimensional nonlinear problems such as those involved in vehicle routing natural resources management or medicine because of the ability of anns to mitigate losses of accuracy even when reducing the discretization grid density for numerically approximating the solution of the original control problems tasks that fall within the paradigm of reinforcement learning are control problems games and other sequential decision making tasks learning algorithms training a neural network model essentially means selecting one model from the set of allowed models or in a bayesian framework determining a distribution over the set of allowed models that minimizes the cost criterion there are numerous algorithms available for training neural network models most of them and statistical estimation most of the algorithms used in training artificial neural networks employ some form of gradient descent this is done by simply taking the derivative of the cost function with respect to the network parameters and then changing those parameters in a gradientrelated direction evolutionary methods these networks have also been used to diagnose prostate cancer the diagnoses can be used to make specific models taken from a large group of patients compared to information of one given patient the models do not depend on assumptions about correlations of different variables colorectal cancer has also been predicted using the neural networks neural networks could predict the outcome for a patient with colorectal cancer with more accuracy than the current clinical methods after training the networks could predict multiple patient outcomes from unrelated institutions neural networks and neuroscience theoretical and computational neuroscience is the field concerned with the theoretical analysis and the computational modeling of biological neural systems since neural systems are intimately related to cognitive

theory and information theory types of models many models are used in the field defined at different levels of abstraction and modeling different aspects of neural systems they range from models of the shortterm behavior of individual neurons models of how the dynamics of neural circuitry arise from interactions between individual neurons and finally to models of how behavior can arise from abstract neural modules that represent complete subsystems these include models of the longterm and shortterm plasticity of neural systems and their relations to learning and memory from the individual neuron to the system level neural network software neural network software is used to simulate research develop and apply artificial neural networks biological neural networks and in some types of artificial neural networks artificial neural network types vary from those with only one or two layers of single direction logic to complicated multiinput many directional feedback loops and

science when most of those devising them are just trying to be good engineers an unreadable table that a useful machine could read would still be well worth having in response to this kind of criticism one should note that although it is true that analyzing what has been learned by an artificial neural network is difficult it is much easier to do so than to analyze what has been learned by a biological neural network furthermore researchers involved in exploring learning algorithms for neural networks are gradually uncovering generic principles which allow a learning machine to wrote an article regarding local vs nonlocal learning as well as shallow vs deep architecture some other criticisms came from believers of hybrid models combining neural networks and symbolic approaches they

 obelix oblix in french is a cartoon character from the french comic book series asterix he works as a menhir sculptor and deliveryman and is asterix s best friend obelix is noted for his fatness the menhirs he carries around on his back and his superhuman strength he is the only gaul in asterix s village who is permanently superhumanly strong since he fell into a cauldron of magic potion when he was a baby because of obelix s already enormous strength he is not allowed to drink the magic potion ever again a ban he regards as being tremendously unfair other characteristics are his simplemindedness his love and care for his dog dogmatix his anger when someone refers to him as being fat his enthusiasm for hunting and eating wild boars and beating up romans his catchphrase is ils sont fous ces romains which translates into they are crazy those romans although he considers nearly every other nationality to actor grard depardieu in every asterix liveaction movie fatness wellcovered inspection he is a large man who does not see himself as fat preferring to call himself well covered or having a chest that has slipped a bit from asterix and the banquet onwardspreviously he had simply expressed ignorance of being fat such as when he merely commented that he wished he had known he was too fat to pose as a lion in asterix the gladiator obelix is so in denial over this matter that he usually does not even notice when other people refer to him as that fat one and often shows total confusion over which fat person people are referring to when he does understand the allusions are made on his behalf he flies into a rage and starts beating up the person who said it sometimes when he is in a bad mood just hearing the word fat even if it is not in reference to himcan quickly enrage him is one of the main causes of conflicts between asterix and obelix which leads to more developing conflicts in which they must work together once escalating to the point that obelix actually gave asterix amnesia when he hit him too hard during an argument asterix and the actress although they usually simply insult each other verbally they inevitably make up swiftly sometimes obelix can be so paranoic over the allusion of the word fat that he can even break the fourth wall with the mere mention of this visibly in asterix and the black gold when the narrator points out that their asterix and obelix s vessel was pulled like a big and fat fish obelix became clearly offended and yelled who is fat character obelix is asterix s closest friend they even have the same birthday although this is inconsistent with the comic obelix and co where only obelix s menhir delivery man his passions in life are hanging around with asterix hunting and eating wild boar making and carrying his menhirs and beating up roman legionnaries and occasionally collecting their helmets obelix has a little dog named dogmatix fr idfix whom he adores his parents live now in condate as seen in asterix and the actress and his distant cousin metallurgix a golden sickle maker lives in lutetia as seen in asterix and the golden sickle obelix s favourite food is roast wild boar which he usually hunts with asterix but he has a voracious appetite and will try eating nearly anything with few exceptions in asterix and obelix all at sea and asterix in britain he seems to not like boiled boar in fact he eats nuts and oysters in the shell and is completely oblivious to drugs spicy food and poison however when he consumes alcohol he gets very drunk very quickly as seen for example in asterix in britain where he enjoys sampling different barrels of wine trying to find a barrel containing magic potion or in asterix and the laurel wreath where both he and chief vitalstatistix get drunk during a banquet much to shame of the latter s wife impedimenta although he has his own house obelix is occasionally shown staying overnight at asterix s obelix owns the quarry where he chisels the menhirs himself it is never directly stated what the menhirs are used for though it is hinted that they are just oversized knickknacks however they are probably a runninggag regarding the origins of the mystery surrounding menhirs in ancient europe with the joke being that obelix delivered them obelix usually trades the stones away for whatever he needs resulting in the village having a literal field of menhirs obelix is kindhearted but socially inept possibly because his strength means that he is still not completely aware of his own strength and almost invariably breaks any door he gently knocks on he is frequently used as a human battering ram for opening locked doors or breaking through walls similarly he is unaware that others do not share his superhuman strength and shows great surprise when others are crushed by what he calls a little menhir or when asterix attempts to explain to him that a small dog like dogmatix can not lift a menhir he also has little interest in subjects of formal education or intellectual pursuits since sheer strength usually solves his problems he generally leaves any decisions to asterix however obelix is not completely stupid in asterix and the normans he deduces from various clues that cacofonix the bard has gone to lutetia to pursue a career in popular music this unusual display of intelligence on obelix s part surprises getafix he also surprises asterix in asterix and definition of wild boar in conversation including the latin taxonomical classification he can also be quite dangerous when angered while cheerfully violent and enjoying a good fight obelix is far from brutal or sadistic he tends to view fighting as a game and is generally friendly and polite to the point of inappropriate courtesy towards his opponents he extends this benevolence even towards the romans whom he rarely seems to view as oppressors but more as lesswilling participants in his roughhousing his other favored pastimes are dancing which he apparently is very good at and occasionally drinking goat s milk to excess as he rarely imbibes in alcohol like asterix obelix is a bachelor but he is easily smitten by a pretty face he harbours a hopeless crush on panacea the daughter of soporifix one of the other villagers and occasionally other young women most notably mrs geriatrix which enrages her husband however one may think that he will eventually find a the class act he is shown to be the founder of a long dynasty of french warriors that lasted well into the th century obelix s trademark phrase is these romans are crazy ils sont fous ces romains in the italian language strength unlike the other villagers obelix has no need to drink getafix the druid s magic potion that gives superhuman strength because he fell into the cauldron as a baby and its effect on him became permanent the story of that incident is told in how obelix fell into the magic potion when he was a little boy since this effect was not intended or expected getafix refuses to allow him even one more drop except under the direst circumstances either out of fear for his life or fear for the lives of others should the inattentive and uncoordinated strongman become any stronger which annoys obelix greatly in asterix and obelix all at sea it is revealed to stone exactly how much is not known but a whole cauldron will certainly do the trick this appears to only work on grown people as obelix did not turn to stone as a baby or may simply occur after drinking an excessive amount while still under the effects of a previous dose however in asterix and cleopatra getafix gives him a few drops to open a door in the great pyramid s labyrinth but he comments that he does not see much difference between before and after the potion though this is presumably because obelix is used to accomplishing any physical task with ease although it has been clearly stated by both getafix in asterix the gaul and asterix in asterix and the laurel wreath that the magic potion does not grant invulnerability but getafix has a potion for that but it is only mentioned in asterix the gaul as well as superhuman strength meaning that they could raw strength generally prevents the romans getting the chance to do so the same does not seem to be true of obelix he does not even notice when attackers attempt to knock him unconscious with blows to the head when roman spearheads are stuck in his bottom in asterix in corsica or when anyone else attempts to harm him in any way this may imply that obelix either by stupidity or ignorance simply does not notice or react to the pain that should be inflicted or that the potion has enhanced his overall strength since it has been shown to increase the drinker s endurance allowing them to run faster to such a point where his muscles allow him to effortlessly absorb the attacks in question most of the occasions where obelix demonstrates invulnerability include him being attacked physically rather than with sharp objects as in asterix and the magic carpet when an arrow accidentally hits his bottom and he yells in agony and thus showing that obelix is nt above physical pain it comes to the relationship between the gauls and the romans as far as he is concerned the more romans he can beat up the better and nobody should deny him this not even the selfish roman victims themselves in asterix in britain he dismisses the claim that the romans have invaded britain he believes that the britons dragged the romans over there in order to have all the fun for themselves during a rugby match obelix is bored until he sees how violent the game can get and is overjoyed recommending that they play rugby in gaul in asterix in corsica it is revealed that the villagers attack the romans at least once a year in order to celebrate the gaulish victory at gergovia when the romans leave their camps in order to avoid the attacks obelix sees this behaviour as crazy and detrimental to their friendly relationship in asterix and obelix all at sea he has a dream or nightmare as of gaul he s horrified at the idea of such a dream coming true he also declares that the idea of peace with the romans is offensive to the memory of vercingetorix far more likely is the fact that peace will mean that he will not be able to bash the romans anymore a prospect he dreads he then comments on the good sense of the romans in attacking the village although they were actually merely planning a parade to welcome an admiral the roman civil war between caesar and pompey features in both asterix the legionary and asterix and the actress when he witnesses a battle between roman troops obelix murmurs what a waste but this is not so much on the wasted lives as the fact that it means that he has fewer romans to bash himself portrayal grard depardieu portrays obelix in all four liveaction french films based on various comics the late jacques morel and jacques frantz voiced him in and french versions of cartoons bernard bresslaw howard lew lewis brad garrett and rosey grier voiced him in english dubs of cartoons name obelix s name is a pun on the french word oblisque obelisk suggested by

 medlineplus psychosis from the greek psyche mindsoul and osis abnormal condition or derangement refers to an abnormal condition of the mind and is a generic psychiatric term for a mental state often described as involving a loss of contact with reality people suffering from psychosis are described as psychotic psychosis as a sign of a psychiatric disorder is a diagnosis of exclusion that is a newonset episode of psychosis is not considered a symptom of a psychiatric disorder until other relevant and known causes of psychosis are properly excluded medical and biological laboratory tests should exclude central nervous system diseases and injuries diseases and injuries of other organs psychoactive substances toxins and prescribed medications as causes of symptoms of psychosis before any psychiatric illness can be diagnosed in medical training psychosis as a sign of illness is often compared to fever since both can have multiple causes that are not readily apparent the relatively normal aberrant experiences through to the complex and catatonic expressions of schizophrenia and bipolar type disorder in properly diagnosed psychiatric disorders where other causes have been excluded by extensive medical and biological laboratory tests psychosis is a descriptive term for the hallucinations delusions sometimes violence and impaired insight that may occur psychosis is generally given to noticeable deficits in normal behavior negative signs and more commonly to diverse types of hallucinations or delusional beliefs eg grandiosity delusions of persecution an excess in dopaminergic signalling is hypothesized to be linked to the symptompositive and negative symptoms many antipsychotic drugs accordingly target the dopamine system however metaanalyses of placebocontrolled trials of these drugs show either no significant difference in effects between drug and placebo or a moderate effect size suggesting that the pathophysiology of psychosis is much more complex than an overactive dopamine system people experiencing psychosis may exhibit some personality changes and thought disorder depending on its severity this may be accompanied by unusual or bizarre behavior as out daily life activities signs and symptoms people with psychosis may have one or more of the following hallucinations delusions catatonia or a thought disorder as described below impairments in social cognition also occur hallucinations a hallucination is defined as sensory perception in the absence of external stimuli hallucinations are different from illusions or perceptual distortions which are the misperception of external stimuli hallucinations may occur in any of the five senses and take on almost any form which may include simple sensations such as lights colors tastes and smells to experiences such as seeing and interacting with fully formed animals and people hearing voices and having complex tactile sensations auditory hallucinations particularly experiences of hearing voices are the most common and often prominent feature of psychosis hallucinated voices may talk about or to the person and may involve several speakers with distinct personalities auditory hallucinations tend to be particularly distressing when they are derogatory commanding or preoccupying always be a negative one one research study has shown that the majority of people who hear voices are not in need of psychiatric help the hearing voices movement has subsequently been created to support voice hearers regardless of whether they are considered to have a mental illness or not delusions psychosis may involve delusional beliefs some of which are paranoid in nature put simply delusions are false beliefs that a person holds on to without adequate evidence it can be difficult to change the belief even with evidence to the contrary common themes of delusions are persecutory person believes that others are out to harm himher grandiose person believing that he or she has special powers or skills etc depressed persons might have delusions consistent with their low mood eg delusions that they have sinned or have contracted serious illness etc karl jaspers has classified psychotic delusions into primary and secondary types primary delusions are of normal mental processes whereas secondary delusions are typically understood as being influenced by the person s background or current situation eg ethnicity also religious superstitious or political beliefs catatonia catatonia describes a profoundly agitated state in which the experience of reality is generally considered impaired there are two primary manifestations of catatonic behavior the classic presentation is a person who does not move or interact with the world in any way while awake this type of catatonia presents with waxy flexibility waxy flexibility is when someone physically moves part of a catatonic person s body and the person stays in the position even if it is bizarre and otherwise nonfunctional such as moving a person s arm straight up in the air and the arm staying there the other type of catatonia is more of an outward presentation of the profoundly agitated state described above it involves excessive and purposeless motor behavior as well as extreme mental preoccupation that prevents an intact experience of reality an example is someone walking with a level of mental preoccupation meaning not focused on anything relevant to the situation that was not typical of the person prior to the symptom onset in both types of catatonia there is generally no reaction to anything that happens outside of them it is important to distinguish catatonic agitation from severe bipolar mania although someone could have both thought disorders thought disorder describes an underlying disturbance to conscious thought and is classified largely by its effects on speech and writing affected persons show loosening of associations that is a disconnection and disorganization of the semantic content of speech and writing in the severe form speech becomes incomprehensible and it is known as word salad psychiatric disorder from a diagnostic standpoint organic disorders were those believed caused by physical illness affecting the brain that is psychiatric disorders secondary to other conditions while functional disorders were considered disorders of the functioning of the mind in the absence of physical disorders that is primary psychological or psychiatric disorders disorders arise from physical processes in this view the distinction between brain and mind and therefore between organic and functional disease is an artificial one subtle physical abnormalities have been found in illnesses traditionally considered functional such as schizophrenia the dsmivtr avoids the functionalorganic distinction and instead lists traditional psychotic illnesses psychosis due to general medical conditions and substanceinduced psychosis primary psychiatric causes of psychosis include the following schizophrenia and schizophreniform disorder affective mood disorders including severe depression and severe depression or mania in bipolar disorder manic depression people experiencing a psychotic episode in the context of depression may experience persecutory or selfblaming delusions or hallucinations while people experiencing a psychotic episode in the context of mania may form grandiose delusions schizoaffective disorder involving symptoms of both schizophrenia and mood disorders brief psychotic disorder or acutetransient psychotic disorder delusional disorder persistent delusional disorder chronic hallucinatory psychosis psychotic symptoms may also be seen in schizotypal disorder certain personality disorders schizoid personality disorder and borderline personality disorder major depressive disorder in its severe form although it is possible and more likely to have severe depression without psychosis bipolar disorder in severe mania andor severe depression although it is possible to have severe mania andor severe depression without psychosis as well in fact that is more commonly the case posttraumatic stress disorder induced delusional disorder sometimes in obsessivecompulsive disorder dissociative disorders due to many overlapping symptoms careful differential diagnosis includes especially dissociative identity disorder stress is known to contribute to and trigger psychotic states a history of psychologically traumatic events and the recent experience of a stressful event can both contribute to the development of psychosis shortlived psychosis triggered by stress is known as brief reactive psychosis and patients may spontaneously recover normal functioning within two weeks in some rare cases individuals may remain in a state of fullblown psychosis for many years or perhaps have attenuated psychotic symptoms such as low intensity hallucinations present at most times without any psychiatric disease causes or triggers include falling asleep and waking hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations which are entirely normal bereavement in which hallucinations of a deceased loved one are common severe sleep deprivation sensory deprivation and sensory impairment caffeine intoxication extremely stressful event subtypes subtypes of psychosis include menstrual psychosis including circamensual approximately monthly periodicity in rhythm with the menstrual cycle postpartum psychosis occurring recently after childbirth monothematic delusions myxedematous psychosis occupational psychosis stimulant psychosis tardive psychosis shared psychosis cycloid psychosis cycloid psychosis cycloid psychosis is psychosis that progresses from normal to fullblown usually within a few hours not related to drug intake or brain injury in addition diagnostic criteria include at least four of the following symptoms confusion moodincongruent delusions hallucinations pananxiety a severe anxiety not bound to particular situations or circumstances happiness or ecstasy of high degree motility disturbances of akinetic or hyperkinetic type concern with than what is needed for diagnosis of an affective disorder cycloid psychosis occurs in people of generally years of age causes many causes of schizophrenia are also causes of psychosis medical conditions a very large number of medical conditions can cause psychosis sometimes called secondary psychosis examples include disorders causing delirium toxic psychosis in which consciousness is disturbed neurodevelopmental disorders and chromosomal abnormalities including velocardiofacial syndrome neurodegenerative disorders such as alzheimer s disease dementia with lewy bodies and parkinson s disease focal neurological disease such as stroke brain tumors multiple sclerosis and some forms of epilepsy malignancy typically via masses in the brain paraneoplastic syndromes or drugs used to treat cancer infectious and postinfectious syndromes including infections causing delirium viral encephalitis hiv malaria lyme disease syphilis endocrine disease such as hypothyroidism hyperthyroidism adrenal failure cushing s syndrome and sometimes childbirth can provoke psychosis termed puerperal psychosis inborn errors of metabolism such as succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency porphyria and metachromatic leukodystrophy nutritional deficiency such as vitamin b sub sub deficiency other acquired metabolic disorders including electrolyte disturbances such as hypocalcemia hypernatremia hyponatremia hypokalemia hypomagnesemia hypermagnesemia hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia but also hypoglycemia hypoxia and failure of the liver or kidneys autoimmune and related disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus lupus sle sarcoidosis hashimoto s encephalopathy and antinmdareceptor encephalitis poisoning by therapeutic drugs see below recreational drugs see below and a range of plants fungi metals organic compounds and a few animal toxins some sleep disorders including hallucinations in narcolepsy in which rem sleep intrudes into wakefulness psychosis can even be caused by familiar ailments such as flu or mumps psychoactive drugs various psychoactive substances both legal and illegal have been implicated in causing users this may be upon intoxication for a more prolonged period after use or upon withdrawal individuals who have a substance induced psychosis tend to have a greater awareness of their psychosis and tend to have higher levels of suicidal thinking compared to individuals who have a primary psychotic illness drugs that can induce psychotic symptoms include cannabis cocaine amphetamines cathinones psychedelic drugs such as lsd and psilocybin opioid receptor agonists such as enadoline and salvinorin a and nmda receptor antagonists such as phencyclidine and ketamine alcohol approximately three percent of people who are suffering from alcoholism experience psychosis during acute intoxication or withdrawal alcohol related psychosis may manifest itself through a kindling mechanism the mechanism of alcoholrelated psychosis is due to the longterm effects of alcohol resulting in distortions to neuronal membranes gene expression as well as thiamin deficiency it is possible in some cases that alcohol abuse via a kindling mechanism can cause the development of a chronic substance induced psychotic disorder ie schizophrenia risk of depression and suicide as well as causing psychosocial impairments cannabis according to some studies the more often cannabis is used the more likely a person is to develop a psychotic illness with frequent use being correlated with twice the risk of psychosis and schizophrenia while cannabis use is accepted as a contributory cause of schizophrenia by some it remains controversial with preexisting vulnerability to psychosis emerging as the key factor that influences the link between cannabis use and psychosis some studies indicate that the effects of two active compounds in cannabis tetrahydrocannabinol thc and cannabidiol cbd have opposite effects with respect to psychosis while thc can induce psychotic symptoms in healthy individuals cbd may reduce the symptoms caused by cannabis cannabis use has increased dramatically over the past few decades whereas the rate of psychosis has not increased together these findings suggest that cannabis use may hasten the onset of psychosis in those who may already be predisposed to psychosis highpotency cannabis use indeed seems to accelerate the concluded that cannabis plays an important role in the development of psychosis in vulnerable individuals and that cannabis use in early adolescence should be discouraged methamphetamine methamphetamine induces a psychosis in percent of heavy users some of these people develop a longlasting psychosis that can persist for longer than six months those who have had a shortlived psychosis from methamphetamine can have a relapse of the methamphetamine psychosis years later after a stress event such as severe insomnia or a period of heavy alcohol abuse despite not relapsing back to methamphetamine individuals who have long history of methamphetamine abuse and who have experienced psychosis in the past from methamphetamine abuse are highly likely to rapidly relapse back into a methamphetamine psychosis within a week or so of going back onto methamphetamine medication administration or sometimes withdrawal of a large number of medications may provoke psychotic symptoms drugs that can induce psychosis experimentally andor in a significant proportion of patients include amphetamine and other sympathomimetics dopamine agonists ketamine corticosteroids often with mood changes in addition a study found no evidence that familial risk accounts for associations between childhood physical abuse and psychotic disorder or that it substantially increases the odds of psychosis among individuals reporting abuse diagnosis researchers at the university of edinburgh have demonstrated that structural and functional mri can detect changes in the brain that precede the onset of diagnosis and could potentially be used as a diagnostic aid pathophysiology the first brain image of an individual with psychosis was completed as far back as using a technique called pneumoencephalography a painful and now obsolete procedure where cerebrospinal fluid is drained from around the brain and replaced with air to allow the structure of the brain to show up more clearly on an xray picture the purpose of the brain is to collect information from the body pain hunger etc and from the outside world interpret it to a coherent world view and produce a meaningful response the information from the senses enter the brain in the primary sensory areas they process the information is interpreted spontaneous activity in the primary sensory areas may produce hallucinations which the secondary areas misinterpret as information from the real world for example a pet or fmri scan of a person who claims he hears voices may show activation in the primary auditory cortex or parts of the brain involved in the perception and understanding of speech tertiary brain cortex collects the interpretations from the secondary cortexes and creates a coherent world view of it a study investigating structural changes in the brains of people with psychosis showed there was significant grey matter reduction in the right medial temporal lateral temporal and inferior frontal gyrus and in the cingulate cortex bilaterally of people before and after they became psychotic findings such as these have led to debate about whether psychosis itself causes excitotoxic brain damage and whether potentially damaging changes to the brain are related to the length of psychotic episode recent research has suggested that this is not the case although further investigation is still ongoing studies with sensory deprivation have shown that to function properly if the spontaneous activity in the brain is not counterbalanced with information from the senses loss from reality and psychosis may occur after some hours a similar phenomenon is paranoia in the elderly when poor eyesight hearing and memory make the person abnormally suspicious of the environment on the other hand loss from reality may also occur if the spontaneous cortical activity is increased so that it is no longer counterbalanced with information from the senses the hta receptor seems to be important for this since psychedelic drugs that activate them produce hallucinations however the main feature of psychosis is not hallucinations but the inability to distinguish between internal and external stimuli close relatives to psychotic patients may hear voices but since they are aware that they are unreal they can ignore them so that the hallucinations do not affect their reality perception hence they are not considered psychotic psychosis has been traditionally linked to the neurotransmitter dopamine in particular the dopamine hypothesis of psychosis has been influential and in the brain particularly in the mesolimbic pathway the two major sources of evidence given to support this theory are that dopamine receptor d blocking drugs ie antipsychotics tend to reduce the intensity of psychotic symptoms and that drugs that boost dopamine activity such as amphetamines and cocaine can trigger psychosis in some people see amphetamine psychosis however increasing evidence in recent times has pointed to a possible dysfunction of the excitory neurotransmitter glutamate in particular with the activity of the nmda receptor this theory is reinforced by the fact that dissociative nmda receptor antagonists such as ketamine pcp and dextromethorphan at large overdoses induce a psychotic state more readily than dopaminergic stimulants even at normal recreational doses the symptoms of dissociative intoxication are also considered to mirror the symptoms of schizophrenia including negative psychotic symptoms more closely than amphetamine psychosis dissociative induced psychosis happens on a more reliable and predictable basis than amphetamine psychosis which usually only occurs in cases of overdose prolonged use or new antipsychotic drugs that act on glutamate and its receptors are currently undergoing clinical trials the connection between dopamine and psychosis is generally believed complex while dopamine receptor d suppresses adenylate cyclase activity the d receptor increases it if dblocking drugs are administered the blocked dopamine spills over to the d receptors the increased adenylate cyclase activity affects genetic expression in the nerve cell which takes time hence antipsychotic drugs take a week or two to reduce the symptoms of psychosis moreover newer and equally effective antipsychotic drugs actually block slightly less dopamine in the brain than older drugs whilst also blocking hta receptors suggesting the dopamine hypothesis may be oversimplified soyka and colleagues found no evidence of dopaminergic dysfunction in people with alcoholinduced psychosis and zoldan et al reported moderately successful use of ondansetron a ht sub sub receptor antagonist in the treatment of levodopa psychosis in parkinson s disease patients psychiatrist david healy has criticised pharmaceutical companies for promoting simplified biological theories of mental illness that seem to imply the primacy are known important influences in the aetiology of psychosis some theories believe many psychotic symptoms are a problem with the perception of ownership of internally generated thoughts and experiences for example the hallucination of hearing voices may arise from internally generated speech that is mislabeled by the psychotic person as coming from an external source it has been suggested that persons with bipolar disorder may have increased activity of the left hemisphere compared to the right hemisphere of the brain while persons with schizophrenia have increased activity in the right hemisphere increased level of right hemisphere activation has also been found in people who have high levels of paranormal beliefs and in people who report mystical experiences it also seems that people who are more creative are also more likely to show a similar pattern of brain activation some researchers have been quick to point out that this in no way suggests that paranormal mystical or creative experiences are in any way by themselves a symptom of mental illness as it is still not clear what makes in otherwise normal individuals exogenous ligands can produce psychotic symptoms nmda receptor antagonists such as ketamine can produce a similar psychosis to that experienced in schizophrenia prolonged or high dose use of psychostimulants can alter normal functioning making it similar to the manic phase of bipolar disorder nmda antagonists replicate some of the socalled negative symptoms like thought disorder in subanesthetic doses doses insufficient to induce anesthesia and catatonia in high doses psychostimulants especially in one already prone to psychotic thinking can cause some positive symptoms such as delusional beliefs particularly those persecutory in nature diagnosis psychosis is first and foremost a diagnosis of exclusion so a newonset episode of psychosis can not be considered a symptom of a psychiatric disorder until other relevant and known causes of psychosis are properly excluded or ruled out many clinicians improperly perform or entirely miss this step introducing avoidable diagnostic error and misdiagnosis an initial assessment includes a comprehensive history and physical examination by a assistant biological tests should be performed to exclude psychosis associated with or caused by substance use medication toxins surgical complications or other medical illnesses delirium should be ruled out which can be distinguished by visual hallucinations acute onset and fluctuating level of consciousness indicating other underlying factors including medical illnesses excluding medical illnesses associated with psychosis is performed by using blood tests to measure thyroidstimulating hormone to exclude hypo or hyperthyroidism basic electrolytes and serum calcium to rule out a metabolic disturbance full blood count including esr to rule out a systemic infection or chronic disease and serology to exclude syphilis or hiv infection other investigations include eeg to exclude epilepsy and an mri or ct scan of the head to exclude brain lesions because psychosis may be precipitated or exacerbated by common classes of psychiatric medications such as antidepressants adhd stimulant medications and sleep medications medicationinduced psychosis should be ruled out particularly for firstepisode psychosis both substance and medicationinduced using a urinalysis and a full serum toxicology screening because some dietary supplements may also induce psychosis or mania but can not be ruled out with laboratory tests a psychotic individual s family partner or friends should be asked whether the patient is currently taking any dietary supplements common mistakes made when diagnosing people who are psychotic include not properly excluding delirium not appreciating medical abnormalities eg vital signs not obtaining a medical history and family history indiscriminate screening without an organizing framework missing a toxic psychosis by not screening for substances and medications not asking family or others about dietary supplements premature diagnostic closure and not revisiting or questioning the initial diagnostic impression of primary psychiatric disorder only after relevant and known causes of psychosis are excluded a mental health clinician may make a psychiatric differential diagnosis using a person s family history incorporating information from the person with psychosis and information from family psychiatric disorders may be established by formal rating scales the brief psychiatric rating scale bprs assesses the level of symptom constructs of psychosis such as hostility suspicion hallucination and grandiosity it is based on the clinician s interview with the patient and observations of the patient s behavior over the previous days the patient s family can also answer questions on the behavior report during the initial assessment and the followup both positive and negative symptoms of psychosis can be assessed using the item positive and negative symptom scale panss prevention the evidence for the effectiveness of early interventions to prevent psychosis appeared inconclusive whilst early intervention in those with a psychotic episode might improve short term outcomes little benefit was seen from these measures after five years however there is evidence that cognitive behavioral therapy cbt may reduce the risk of becoming psychotic in those at high risk and in the uk national institute for health and care excellence nice recommended preventive cbt treatment of psychosis depends on the specific diagnosis such as schizophrenia bipolar disorder or substance intoxication the first line treatment for many psychotic disorders is antipsychotic medication oral or intramuscular injection and sometimes hospitalization is needed however there are significant problems associated with this class of drugs there is evidence that they can cause brain damage including prefrontal cortex atrophy longlasting parkinsonian symptoms tardive dyskinesia and personality change nancy andreasen has argued for an association between antipsychotic drugs and smaller grey matter volumes independent of illness severity furthermore antipsychotic drugs can themselves induce psychotic symptoms if they are administered for a long time and then discontinued there is growing evidence that cognitive behavior therapy acceptance and commitment therapy and family therapy can be effective in managing psychotic symptoms when other treatments for psychosis are ineffective electroconvulsive therapy or ect also known as shock treatment is sometimes applied to relieve the underlying symptoms of psychosis due to depression there is also increasing research suggesting that animalassisted therapy can schizophrenia early intervention early intervention in psychosis is on the observation that identifying and treating someone in the early stages of a psychosis can improve their longer term outcome this approach advocates the use of an intensive multidisciplinary approach during what is known as the critical period where intervention is the most effective and prevents the long term morbidity associated with chronic psychotic illness history the word psychosis was introduced to the psychiatric literature in by karl friedrich canstatt in his work handbuch der medizinischen klinik he used it as a shorthand for psychic neurosis at that time neurosis meant any disease of the nervous system and canstatt was thus referring to what was considered a psychological manifestation of brain disease ernst von feuchtersleben is also widely credited as introducing the term in as an alternative to insanity and mania the term stems from the greek psychosis a giving soul or life to psyche soul and the suffix osis in this case abnormal condition the word was also used to distinguish a condition considered a disorder of the mind as opposed to neurosis which was considered a disorder of the nervous system the psychoses thus became the modern equivalent of the old notion of madness and hence there was much debate on whether there was only one unitary or many forms of the new disease one type of broad usage would later be narrowed down by koch in to the psychopathic inferiorities later renamed abnormal personalities by schneider the division of the major psychoses into manic depressive illness now called bipolar disorder and dementia praecox now called schizophrenia was made by emil kraepelin who attempted to create a synthesis of the various mental disorders identified by th century psychiatrists by grouping diseases together based on classification of common symptoms kraepelin the whole spectrum of mood disorders in a far wider sense than it is usually used today in kraepelin s classification this would include unipolar clinical depression as well as bipolar disorder and other mood disorders such as cyclothymia these are characterised by problems with mood control and the psychotic episodes appear associated with disturbances in mood and patients often have periods of normal functioning between psychotic episodes even without medication schizophrenia is characterized by psychotic episodes that appear unrelated to disturbances in mood and most nonmedicated patients show signs of disturbance between psychotic episodes during the s and s psychosis was of particular interest to counterculture critics of mainstream psychiatric practice who argued that it may simply be another way of constructing reality and is not necessarily a sign of illness for example r d laing argued that psychosis is a symbolic way of expressing concerns in situations where such views may be unwelcome or uncomfortable to the recipients he went on to say that psychosis could be also seen as a transcendental experience with of the term mystical psychosis to characterize firstperson accounts of psychotic experiences that are similar to reports of mystical experiences thomas szasz focused on the social implications of labeling people as psychotics a label he argues unjustly medicalises different views of reality so such unorthodox people can be controlled by society psychoanalysis has a detailed account of psychosis that differs markedly from that of psychiatry freud and lacan outlined their perspective on the structure of psychosis in a number of works since the s the introduction of a recovery approach to mental health which has been driven mainly by people who have experienced psychosis or whatever name is used to describe their experiences has led to a greater awareness that mental illness is not a lifelong disability and that there is an expectation that recovery is possible and probable with effective support treatment early civilizations considered madness a supernaturally inflicted phenomenon archaeologists have unearthed skulls with clearly visible drillings some datable back to bc suggesting that trepanning was a common treatment for psychosis resultant treatments can be traced back to the new testament mark describes a man displaying what would today be described as psychotic symptoms christ cured this demonic madness by casting out the demons and hurling them into a herd of swine exorcism is still utilized in some religious circles as a treatment for psychosis presumed to be demonic possession a research study of outpatients in psychiatric clinics found that per cent of religious patients attributed the cause of their psychotic symptoms to evil spirits many of these patients underwent exorcistic healing rituals that though largely regarded as positive experiences by the patients had no effect on symptomology results did however show a significant worsening of psychotic symptoms associated with exclusion of medical treatment for coercive forms of exorcism the medical teachings of the fourthcentury philosopher and physician hippocrates of cos proposed a natural rather than supernatural cause of human illness in hippocrates work the hippocratic corpus a holistic explanation for health and disease was developed to include madness and espoused a theory of humoralism wherein disease is resultant of a shifting balance in bodily fluids including blood phlegm black bile and yellow bile according to humoralism each fluid or humour has temperamental or behavioral correlates in the case of psychosis symptoms are thought to be caused by an excess of both blood and yellow bile thus the proposed surgical intervention for psychotic or manic behavior was bloodletting th century physician educator and widely considered founder of american psychiatry benjamin rush also prescribed bloodletting as a firstline treatment for psychosis although not a proponent of humoralism rush believed that active purging and bloodletting were efficacious corrections for disruptions in the circulatory system a complication he believed was the primary cause of insanity although rush s treatment modalities are now considered antiquated and brutish his contributions to psychiatry namely the biological underpinnings of psychiatric phenomenon including psychosis have been invaluable to the field in honor of such contributions benjamin rush s image is in the official seal of the american persisting psychosis were characterized by an emphasis on shocking the nervous system such therapies include insulin shock therapy cardiazol shock therapy and electroconvulsive therapy despite considerable risk shock therapy was considered highly efficacious in the treatment of psychosis including schizophrenia the acceptance of highrisk treatments led to more invasive medical interventions including psychosurgery in swiss psychiatrist gottlieb burckhardt performed the first medically sanctioned psychosurgery in which the cerebral cortex was excised although some patients showed improvement of symptoms and became more subdued one patient died and several developed aphasia andor seizure disorders burckhardt would go on to publish his clinical outcomes in a scholarly paper this procedure was met with criticism from the medical community and his academic and surgical endeavors were largely ignored in the late s egas moniz conceived the leucotomy aka prefrontal lobotomy in which the fibers connecting the frontal lobes to the rest of the brain were severed monizs primary inspiration stemmed from a demonstration by neuroscientists john fulton and carlyles experiment in which two was compared prior to the leucotomy the chimps engaged in typical behavior including throwing feces and fighting after the procedure both chimps were pacified and less violent during the qampa moniz asked if such a procedure could be extended to human subjects a question that fulton admitted was quite startling moniz would go on to extend the controversial practice to humans suffering from various psychotic disorders an endeavor for which he received a nobel prize in between the late s and early s the leucotomy was a widely accepted practice often performed in nonsterile environments such as small outpatient clinics and patient homes psychosurgery remained standard practice until the discovery of antipsychotic pharmacology in the s the first clinical trial of antipsychotics also commonly known as neuroleptics for the treatment of psychosis took place in chlorpromazine brand name thorazine passed clinical trials and became the first antipsychotic medication approved for the treatment of both acute and chronic psychosis although the mechanism of action was not discovered until dopamine antagonist or first generation antipsychotic while clinical trials showed a high response rate for both acute psychosis and disorders with psychotic features the sideeffects were particularly harsh which included high rates of often irreversible parkinsonian symptoms such as tardive dyskinesia with the advent of atypical antipsychotics also known as second generation antipsychotics came a dopamine antagonist with a comparable response rate but a far different though still extensive sideeffect profile that included a lower risk of parkinsonian symptoms but a higher risk of cardiovascular disease atypical antipsychotics remain the firstline treatment for psychosis associated with various psychiatric and neurological disorders including schizophrenia bipolar disorder major depressive disorder anxiety disorders dementia and some autism spectrum disorders it is now known that dopamine is the primary neurotransmitter implicated in psychotic symptomology thus blocking dopamine receptors namely the dopamine d receptors and decreasing dopaminergic activity continues to be an effective but highly unrefined pharmacologic goal of antipsychotics recent pharmacological research suggests that the decrease in dopaminergic activity does not eradicate psychotic involved in the development of delusional thinking that is connecting or finding meaningful relationships between unrelated stimuli or ideas the author of this research paper acknowledges the importance of future investigation

humane letters emeritus at cornell university in ithaca new york early life escape from the holocaust hoffmann was born in zolochiv poland now ukraine to a jewish family and was named in honor of the norwegian explorer roald amundsen his parents were clara rosen a teacher and hillel safran a civil engineer after germany invaded poland and occupied the town his family was placed in a labor camp where his father who was familiar with much of the local infrastructure was a valued prisoner as the situation grew more dangerous with prisoners being transferred to liquidation camps the family bribed guards to allow an escape and arranged with ukrainian neighbors for hoffman his mother attic and a storeroom of the local schoolhouse where they remained for fifteen months while hoffman was aged to his father remained at the labor camp but was able to occasionally visit until he was tortured and killed by the germans for his involvement in a plot to arm the camp prisoners when she received the news his mother attempted to contain her sorrow by writing down her feelings in a notebook her husband had been using to take notes on a relativity textbook he had been reading while in hiding his mother kept hoffman entertained by teaching him to read and having him memorize geography from textbooks stored in the attic then quizzing him on it he referred to the experience as having been enveloped in a cocoon of love most of the rest of the family perished in the holocaust though one grandmother and a few others survived they migrated to the united states in hoffman visited zolochiv with his adult son by then a parent of a fiveyearold in was still intact but the storeroom had been incorporated ironically enough into a chemistry classroom in a monument to holocaust victims was built in zolochiv on hoffmann s initiative academic credentials hoffmann graduated in from new york city s stuyvesant high school where he won a westinghouse science scholarship he

 the pogues are a celtic punk band from london formed in and fronted by shane macgowan the band reached international prominence in the s and early s macgowan left the band in due to drinking problems but the band continued first with joe strummer and then with spider stacy on vocals before breaking up in the band reformed in late and has been playing regularly ever since most notably on the us east coast around st patrick s day and across the uk and ireland every december the group has yet to record any new music and according to spider stacy on poguescom has no inclination to do so their politically tinged music was informed by macgowan and stacy s punk backgrounds yet used traditional irish instruments such as the tin whistle cittern mandolin and accordion the pogues were founded in kings cross a district of central london in as pogue mahone pogue mahone being the anglicisation of the irish pg band history the future members of the pogues first met when macgowan vocals peter spider stacy tin whistle and jem finer banjo were together in an occasional band called the millwall chainsaws in the late s after macgowan and stacy met in the toilets at a ramones gig at the roundhouse in macgowan was already with the nips though when they broke up in he concentrated a bit more on stacy s millwall chainsaws who changed their name to the new republicans during this period macgowan and finer auditioned unsuccessfully for a licence to busk at covent garden in james fearnley accordion who had been a guitarist with the nips joined macgowan stacy and finer forming the band then known as pogue mahone the new group played their first gig at the pindar of wakefield on october they then appeared at gossips in dean street soho on thursday november with trash trash trash and the stingrays they later added the band played london pubs and clubs and released a single dark streets of london on their own selfnamed label gaining a small reputationespecially for their live performances they came to the attention of the media and stiff records when they opened for the clash on their tour shortening their name to the pogues partly due to bbc censorship following complaints from gaelic speakers in scotland they released their first album red roses for me on stiff records that october the band gained more attention when the uk channel s influential music show the tube made a video of their version of waxie s dargle for the show the performance featuring spider stacy repeatedly smashing himself over the head with a beer tray became a favourite with the viewers but stiff records refused to release it as a single feeling it was too late for it to help red roses for me nevertheless it remained a favourite request of punk and new wave forefather elvis

the time to call it quits according to shane macgowan amongst the reasons of the breakup was disagreement concerning the political orientation of his songs the band not wanting to sing too obvious

performances though they continue to pull the crowds reviewing a march concert the washington post described macgowan as puffy and paunchy but said the singer still has a banshee wail to beat howard

 the beyonder is a fictional character in publication history created by jim shooter and mike zeck the beyonder first appeared in secret wars may as an unseen force he reappears in secret wars ii july which was written by jim shooter and drawn by al milgrom fictional character biography secret wars the beyonder is the sum total of a parallel reality called the beyondrealm or simply beyond hence the name beyonder this dimension is accidentally accessed by nebbishy lab technician owen reece part of the energy from the dimension escapes and imbues reece with nearinfinite powers which he wields as the villainous molecule man potentially one of the most powerful villains in the marvel universe the remaining energy of the pocket dimension apparently gains sentience and curiosity using its vast powers the beyonder creates a planet called battleworld out of pieces of various planets one such piece being a suburb of denver so that he can observe the neverending battle between good and evil that rages within humanity at large initially explaining the nature of the experiment to the involuntary participants the entity identifies itself only as i am from beyond the name beyonder is quickly applied by galactus and adopted by all others present galactus sensing that the beyonder could alleviate his perpetual hunger immediately and aggressively charges into the beyondrealm through a dimensional rift followed by doctor doom who seeks power for his own purposes both are repelled but the information gathered by doom later enables him to use the body of the soundbased villain klaw as a medium to steal the energies of galactus worldship and then the power of the beyonder itself with the beyonder s power doom constructs a high tower of golden stone as temporary quarters and then states that he has given up his ambitions for conquest instead simply being content with freeing his mother s soul from mephisto the beyonder s consciousness then possesses klaw s damaged mind and distracting him enough for the beyonder to steal his power back this story formed the basis of the first secret wars twelveissue limited series the series sold incredibly well with circulation reaching up to copies per issue numbers reminiscent of the height of comic book sales during the golden age of comic books secret wars ii due to the high sales of the first series a second secret wars series the nineissue secret wars ii miniseries was published this series crossed over into almost every comic that marvel was publishing at the time intrigued by what he has witnessed during the first secret wars the beyonder comes to earth to walk among humans and study them and learn of human desire firsthand he creates a human body for himself originally this body resembles molecule man he also transforms a television writer named steward cadwell into thundersword finally the beyonder creates a form for himself based on that of captain lack of understanding of human biology and society which leads to numerous difficult situations some serious and some humorous for instance he needs to learn by example the difference between edible objects and nonedible ones and needs to be toilettrained by spiderman when he learns about the monetary system from luke cage the hero for hire he transforms the manhattan heroes for hire office building into gold as thanks for their assistance he later comes under the influence of a criminal named vinnie and becomes the head of a criminal cartel the beyonder then uses mind control to assume control over the entire earth only to relinquish control when he grows restless and frustrated with the lack of free will that the world now displays beyonder then transforms the elf algrim into kurse the beyonder became enamored with the beauty and power potential within singing superheroine dazzler resulting in a brief love affair on a train to new york the beyonder meets the mutant tabitha smith also known as boom boom thinking the beyonder abandons her but returns and takes her to xavier s school at the school tabitha is terrified when the teams of the xmen and the new mutants fight the beyonder the beyonder takes her to a planet where the celestials are located there threatening to destroy the universe the beyonder fights and seemingly defeats a number of celestials fearful of a further battle taking place between the beyonder and the celestials tabitha demands to be returned to earth back on earth boom boom alerts the avengers about the beyonder summoning the beyonder boom boom thereby leads him into an ambush by the avengers fantastic four and other costumed champions the beyonder who had regarded boom boom as his only friend allows the avengers to defeat him but then leaves boom boom leaves during the battle the beyonder then acts in an attempt to preserve life throughout the universe by seemingly eliminating and then resurrecting the manifestation of death throughout the course of the series the demon mephisto win the favor of death mephisto sends an army of supervillains called the legion accursed to attack the beyonder who is saved by the thing the beyonder then fights the puma believing that the only purpose left in his life is to help the puma find his by allowing puma to become one with the universe and allow puma to slay him puma having been convinced of the beyonder s nature as a malicious threat but a casual comment by spiderman about the beyonder s manipulations causes puma to lose faith in himself at the crucial moment and the beyonder survives unscathed the beyonder then feels the futility of all his efforts and decides to destroy the entire multiverse he starts by killing the new mutants he then battles phoenix the beyonder reconsiders destroying the multiverse and resurrects the new mutants realizing that he can never truly understand what its like to be mortal as long as he has his powers as a safety net he constructs a machine to leech and contain his powers turning him becomes fearful of being without his power and takes his power back from the machine intrigued by this new experience the beyonder tries to create for himself a mortal human infant body that can retain his omnipotence but will allow him to grow and learn at a normal rate although he is on the verge of succeeding he is killed in the process by the molecule man the beyonder s nearlimitless power is returned to the nowempty beyondrealm where it forms a big bang and creates a new universe deadpool teamup long after the secret wars ii crossover had ended a deadpool special featured the secret wars ii continues in this issue corner tag that was used during that original storyline in this issue a younger lessexperienced deadpool is hired by the kingpin to kill the beyonder the flashback sequence ends with deadpool chasing him into a portal with a footnote saying to be continued in secret wars iii this storyline has yet to be followed up on kosmos years later when it is revealed that the energy which comprises the beyonder and the energy that gives the molecule man his powers needs to be combined in order to create the basis for a mentally stable mature nighomnipotent being to be born the beyonder then merges with the molecule man this being called kosmos marvel comics at some unknown point kosmos goes mad and assumes a mortal form now calling itself the maker after the now amnesiac maker destroys a shiar colony the imperial guard manage to imprison it in the interstellar prison called the kyln the maker s madness takes control of several inmates but is finally subdued by the nihilist thanos and several of his allies among the prisoners thanos confronts the maker and by refusing to reveal its origins at a critical juncture manipulates it to psychically shut down its own mind thanos instructs the shiar that the body should be kept alive but braindead or the beyonder essence would go free again apparently thanos had never been explained as thanos was dead at the time of secret wars ii thanos flashback showed thanos as a youngster beyond and annihilation the beyonder returned in the series named after him beyond this being was called the beyonder in the second issue this beyonder is once again in command of the patchwork battleworld where it is revealed that he has been collecting various superhumans and pitting them in combat with one another eventually the pool of heroes and villains featured in the miniseries discovers that this beyonder is actually the stranger who has been conducting studies of superhumanity through recreations of the original secret war in the annihilation crossover the former herald of galactus the fallen one now under the control of thanos is sent to investigate the aftermath of the kyln s destruction by the annihilation wave and ascertain the beyonder s fate the fallen one soon finds the lifeless form of kosmos in the rubble new avengers the illuminati featuring a retcon of past events charles xavier reveals that in the original secret war he had initially planned to use his powers to make everyone fall asleep and thus buy him and reed richards time to formulate an escape plan but feared the beyonder s wrath however he immediately sensed a strange mental presence and attempted to mindscan the beyonder revealing him as one of the inhumans previously ruled over by fellow illuminati member black bolt xavier also deduced the apparent secret behind the beyonder s seemingly godlike abilities which was that the beyonder was not only an inhuman but also a mutant like xavier and his own team of xmen and the exposure of his mutant genes to terrigen mists had created an unprecedented reaction bestowing upon him more amazing power and knowledge than all other inhumans of his time this revelation leads to a confrontation with the beyonder during the events of the second secret war wherein black bolt expresses his extreme displeasure toward the beyonder s activities when encountered on ceres dwarf planet the story itself is deliberately ambiguous black bolt for example does not remember the mutant inhuman who vanished making it possible the beyonder arranged all this as a mind game as he had when he lived as a human and a mutant trying to find a purpose in his existence powers and abilities although not native to this dimension the beyonder was one of the absolute strongest and most powerful beings ever to exist in the marvel universe in the original secret wars storyline he was the beall and endall of the marvel universe that took human form to better understand the nature of human beings and capable of destroying the entire multiverse or the conceptual entity death itself after his creator jim shooter left marvel writereditor tom defalco displeased with shooter s tenure at marvel retooled the beyonder and altered his origin he was no longer omnipotent as many initially believed being an incomplete cosmic cube with less raw power and the possessed vast psionic abilities allowing him to control and manipulate matter and energy at a cosmic level beyond all but the strongest and most powerful of cosmic entities he was shown and described to repel galactus like a bug and even greatly exceeded the collected energy of the latter s worldship he once destroyed a galaxy on a whim to meet his needs during the first secret wars and later by using his entire energies created a universe out of his own being when the molecule man extracted the beyonder from kosmos their battle took place in more than three dimensions and threatened vast portions of reality in kosmos maker incarnation she was stated as capable of reversing the crunch itself essentially collapsing the entire universe the beyonder could endow himself with a corporeal form of practically limitless strength and endurance however his scale of power has been claimed to be below that of the living tribunal and eternity the celestials or the molecule man when unfettered from his emotional timeline seen in guardians of the galaxy the beyonder provides guardian vance astro with a black undergarment resembling a symbiote in the alternate earth of mutant x comics mister mxyzptlk parodied the beyonder in his first appearance in the postcrisis continuity by assuming a form and identity that was similar in clothing and appearance to the beyonder he called himself ben deroy an anagram of the name beyonder when asked by lois lane where he came from he answers by saying oh here and there yonder let s say yes yonder in the spiderham universe the beeyonder briefly appears to give spiderham a version of the black uniform stating that the familiar redandblue uniform was out of style in other media the beyonder makes an appearance in the spiderman cartoon voiced by earl boen however his appearance in the cartoon greatly differs from his normal comics featuring the brief super hero costume the beyonder and a goatee as opposed to having a cleanshaven face with a disco outfit he is also more of a neutral force than a villain the beyonder first appeared in the episode arrival of season the first chapter of that secret wars in the series the beyonder worked with madame web to prepare spiderman for the secret wars supposedly to see whether good was more powerful than evil he put spiderman and a small group of heroes selected by the webslinger fantastic four captain america iron man storm and the black cat on a planet and pit them against a band of villains doctor octopus doctor doom alistair smythe the lizard and the red skull during this time doctor doom stole the beyonder s powers in doom the third and last chapter to the secret wars but he was defeated and it was implied that he had planned the whole ordeal out before it began the beyonder had all the heroes spiderman had summoned to spiderman however was needed for something bigger so he was the only one whose memory was untouched it was revealed that the evil spidercarnage had destroyed the entire multiverse with a giant bomb however when the destruction reached the beyonder s own reality he used all of his powers to roll back time but since his powers were unlimited only in his own universe he would be unable to permanently undo spidercarnage s actions himself though it tested him to the extreme he sent his servant madame web into the past to train spidermen from many different realities to find out which one would be worthy enough to lead the others against spidercarnage 
 augustus iii ascends the throne bourbon territorial gains the war of the polish succession was a major european war for princes possessions sparked by a polish civil war over the succession to augustus ii king of poland that other european powers widened in pursuit of their own national interests france and spain the two bourbon powers attempted to check the power of the austrian habsburgs in western europe as did the kingdom of prussia whilst saxony and russia mobilized to support the eventual polish victor the slight amount of fighting in poland resulted in the accession of augustus iii who in addition to russia and saxony was politically supported by the habsburgs the war s major military campaigns occurred outside poland the bourbons supported by charles emmanuel iii of sardinia moved against isolated habsburg territories in the rhineland france successfully took the duchy of lorraine and in italy spain regained control over the kingdoms of naples and sicily lost in the war of the spanish succession despite bloody campaigning great britain s unwillingness to support habsburg austria demonstrated major cracks in the angloaustrian alliance and may have contributed to austria s military failures although a preliminary peace was reached in the war was formally ended with the treaty of vienna in which augustus iii was confirmed as king of poland and his opponent stanisaw leszczyski who had received virtually no foreign military support was awarded the duchy of lorraine francis stephen the duke of lorraine was given the grand duchy of tuscany in compensation for the loss of lorraine the duchy of parma went to austria whereas charles of parma took the crowns of naples and sicily resulting in territorial gains for the bourbons poland also gave up claims to livonia and direct control over the duchy of courland and semigallia which although remaining a polish fief was not integrated into poland proper and came under strong russian influence background ever since the death of sigismund ii augustus in polish kings were elected great deal of power over the king but the sejms meetings of delegates to elect kings and conduct other business were in later years paralyzed by the institution of the liberum veto which gave any individual in the sejm the power to negate its decisions as a result poland s powerful neighbors were able to exert significant influence on the decisionmaking process and by the early th century the system was in decline former polish king stanisaw leszczyski hoped to be elected king once again upon the death of his old adversary augustus ii of saxony who had failed in his attempts to make the polish crown hereditary within his family thirty years earlier stanisaw had been installed as king of poland by king charles xii of sweden during his period of dominance in the early part of the great northern war and was ousted following the battle of poltava by the victorious russians stanisaw was supported in his bid to regain the throne by his soninlaw king louis xv of france who hoped to to balance russian and austrian power in central northern and eastern europe in empress anna of russia holy roman emperor charles vi and king frederick william i of prussia irritated with augustus but unwilling to allow stanisaw to become king secretly signed lwenwolde s treaty in which they agreed to jointly back the candidacy of infante manuel of portugal for the polish throne france s prime minister cardinal fleury saw the polish struggle as a chance to strike at austrian power in the west without seeming to be the aggressor while he cared little for who should become king of poland the cause of protecting the king s fatherinlaw was a sympathetic one and he hoped to use the war as a means of humbling the austrians and perhaps securing the longdesired duchy of lorraine from its duke francis stephen who was expected to marry emperor charles s daughter maria theresa which would bring austrian power dangerously close to the french border fleury s diplomatic moves would bring additional powers into the war spain and the charles emmanuel the king of sardinia who was also the duke of savoy death of augustus ii augustus ii died on february throughout the spring and summer of france began building up forces along its northern and eastern frontiers while the emperor massed troops on polish borders reducing garrisons in the duchy of milan for the purpose while the aging prince eugene of savoy had recommended to the emperor a more warlike posture against potential actions by france in the rhine valley and northern italy only minimal steps were taken to improve imperial defenses on the rhine the marquis de monti france s ambassador in warsaw convinced the rival potocki and czartoryski families to unite behind stanisaw teodor potocki primate of poland and interrex following the death of augustus called a convocation sejm in march delegates to this sejm passed a resolution forbidding the candidacy of foreigners this would explicitly exclude both emmanuel of portugal and augustus ii s son frederick august ii austria and russia in july in exchange for russian support he agreed to give up any remaining polish claims to livonia and promised to anna of russia her choice of successor to the duchy of courland a polish fief of which she had been duchess prior to her ascension to the russian throne which would have otherwise come under direct polish rule on the death of the current duke ferdinand kettler who had no heirs to the austrian emperor he promised recognition of the pragmatic sanction of a document designed to guarantee inheritance of the austrian throne to maria theresa charles oldest child in august polish nobles gathered for the election sejm on august russian troops under field marshal peter lascy entered poland in a bid to influence the sejm s decision on september france openly declared its support for leszczyski who was elected king by a sejm of delegates on september a group of nobles led by lithuanian magnates including duke michael ii crossed the vistula river to praga and the protection of russian troops this group numbering about elected frederick august ii king of poland as augustus iii on october despite the fact that this group was a minority russia and austria intent on maintaining their influence within poland recognised augustus as king on october france declared war on austria and saxony louis xv was later joined by his uncle king philip v of spain who hoped to secure territories in italy for his sons by his second marriage to elizabeth farnese specifically he hoped to secure mantua for the elder son don carlos who was already duke of parma and had the expectation of the grand duchy of tuscany and the kingdoms of naples and sicily for the younger son don felipe the two bourbon monarchs were also joined by charles emmanuel of savoy who hoped to secure gains from the austrian duchies of milan and mantua austrian isolation when hostilities finally broke out powers great britain and the dutch republic they were disappointed in this since both the dutch and the british chose to pursue a policy of neutrality the british prime minister sir robert walpole justified britain s nonintervention by insisting that the angloaustrian alliance agreed at the treaty of vienna was a purely defensive agreement while austria was in this instance the aggressor this position was attacked by english austrophiles who wanted to aid the austrians against france but walpole s dominant position ensured that britain stayed out of the conflict the french not wishing to provoke britain carefully chose not to campaign in the austrian netherlands and avoided campaigning in parts of the holy roman empire that might draw either power into the conflict on austria s southern border france in november negotiated the secret treaty of turin with charles emmanuel and prepared for military operations in northern italy it concluded the also secret treaty of the escorial with spain which included promises of french assistance in the spanish conquest of naples and the ottoman empire in a fruitless attempt to draw them into the conflict in support of stanisaw the austrians were thus left largely without effective external allies on their southern and western frontiers their russian and saxon allies were occupied with the polish campaign and the emperor distrusted frederick william i of prussia who was willing to provide some aid divisions within the empire also had an impact on the raising of troops in as charlesalbert of bavaria who harbored ambitions to become the next holy roman emperor signed a secret agreement with france in november and tried with limited success to dissuade other rulers within the empire from the wittelsbach family from providing troops to the emperor under their treaty obligations while britain itself did not provide support the electorate of hanover where george ii also ruled as an imperial elector proved willing to help war poland the russians led by lascy quickly took warsaw and installed augustus forcing stanisaw to flee to danzig time by a russiansaxon army that came under the overall command of field marshal burkhard christoph von mnnich danzig capitulated in june and stanisaw fled first to knigsberg and eventually to france this ended major military activity in poland itself although it continued to be occupied by foreign troops as augustus dealt with partisan supporters of stanisaw a group of nobles supporting stanisaw formed the confederation of dzikow late in and under their commander adam taro tried to fight the russians and saxons but their efforts were ineffective in what became known as the pacification sejm held junejuly augustus was confirmed as king rhineland following france s october declaration of war it began military operations three days later invading the duchy of lorraine and besieging the imperial fortress at kehl across the rhine river from strasbourg gaining control of both objectives in a few weeks unable to attack austria directly and unwilling to invade the intervening german states for fear of drawing great britain position in lorraine and withdrew its troops across the rhine for the winter the emperor mobilized his active forces in response to the french attacks and began the process of calling up troops from the states of the empire establishing a defensive line at ettlingen near karlsruhe in the spring of french maneuvers successfully flanked this line and prince eugene of savoy who despite being born in paris fought on the austrian side was forced to withdraw these forces to the imperial encampment at heilbronn this cleared the way for the french army under the duke of berwick to besiege the imperial fort at philippsburg which fell after a siege of two months in july eugene who was accompanied by crown prince frederick of prussia made some attempts to relieve the siege but never made any decisive attacks against the besieging army owing to its size and relatively poor quality of the troops under his command berwick was killed by a shell at philippsburg french armies continued to advance along the growing imperial army which came to include troops from russia that had assisted with the capture of danzig was able to prevent france from establishing a siege there and eugene went on the offensive a force of under friedrich heinrich von seckendorff crossed the rhine and began pushing the french back toward trier defeating them at clausen in october in one of the last battles before preliminary peace terms were reached italy french and savoyard troops numbering over under the command of charles emmanuel entered milanese territory as early as october against minimal resistance as the austrian forces in the duchy numbered only about by november the city of milan itself had surrendered although the austrian governor count wirich philipp von daun still held the fortress france s great general the duke de villars joined charles emmanuel in milan on november while villars wanted to immediately move to secure the alpine passes against austrian reinforcements by moving against mantua charles with spain sought to secure milan the army spent the next three months eliminating austrian opposition from the remaining fortified towns in the duchy villars attempted to interest don carlos of parma in joining the expedition against mantua but carlos was focused on the campaign into naples villars began to move against mantua but charles emmanuel resisted and the army made little progress in early may an austrian army of under count claude florimond de mercy crossed the alps and threatened to close in on the french army s rear by a flanking maneuver villars responded by retreating from mantua and attempted without success to interrupt the austrian army s crossing of the po river villars frustrated by charles emmanuel s delaying tactics quit the army on may he fell ill on the way back to france and died in turin on june mercy s forces made repeated attempts to cross the parma river in june but it was not until late in that month that they were able to cross the allied forces now under the command of french marshals de broglie and coigny were entrenched in a bloody battle near the village of crocetta on june the austrians were beaten back mercy was killed and frederick of wrttemberg his second was wounded charles emmanuel returned the next day to retake command and resumed his delaying tactics by failing to immediately pursue the retreating austrians the austrians retreated to the po where they were reinforced by additional troops and placed under the command of field marshal knigsegg after two months of inaction during which the armies faced each other across the secchia river knigsegg on september took advantage of lax security and executed a raid on coigny s headquarters at quistello very nearly capturing coigny and taking among other prizes charles emmanuel s china two days later the french withdrew to a position near guastalla in response to austrian maneuvers but one detachment of nearly men was surrounded and captured by the advancing austrians on september knigsegg attacked encounter was beaten back losing among others frederick of wrttemberg knigsegg retreated across the po adopting a defensive position between the po and the oglio while charles emmanuel again did not capitalize on his victory when he finally withdrew most of the allied army to cremona the austrians advanced on the north bank of the po as far as the adda before both armies entered winter quarters in december in southern italy the austrians choosing a strategy of defending a large number of fortresses were soundly defeated don carlos assembled an army composed primarily of spaniards but also including some troops from france and savoy moving south through the papal states his army flanked the frontline austrian defense at mignano forcing them to retreat into the fortress at capua he was then practically welcomed into naples by the city fathers as the austrian viceroy had fled toward bari and the fortresses held by the austrians in the city were quickly captured while maintaining a blockade of the largest austrian holdings at army gave chase to the remaining austrian forces these finally attempted a stand in late may and were defeated at bitonto capua and gaeta were then properly besieged while austrian fortresses in sicily were quickly subdued gaeta surrendered in august and capua held out until november when its commander otto ferdinand von abensberg und traun finally negotiated surrender terms when he ran out of ammunition the jacobite pretender to the thrones of united kingdom and france charles edward stuart who was under then also participated in the french and spanish siege of gaeta making his first exposure to battle the armies in northern italy suffered significantly over the winter with significant losses to disease and desertion for the campaign the allied forces in northern italy came under the command of the duke de noailles elevated to marshal after his successful contributions to the rhine campaign they were also joined by spanish forces in may now available after the successes in the south in response to this threat knigsegg retreated city of mantua welldefended at this point divisions between the allies became clear as spain laid claim to mantua and also refused to guarantee milan to charles emmanuel in response charles emmanuel refused to allow his siege equipment to be used against mantua as a result the francospanish army was unable to do more than blockade the city when charles emmanuel withdrew his forces from the area the allies were forced to retreat and the beleaguered austrians capitalized eventually recovering most of milan against little opposition in november peace settlement as early as february the british and dutch had offered to mediate peace talks between the various parties by early proposals were being circulated as progressed with the austrians being in no real position to continue the fight and the french concerned by the possible arrival of russian reinforcements on the rhine which did eventually occur negotiations continued through the summer of a preliminary peace was finally concluded in october and ratified in the as king of poland stanisaw was compensated with lorraine which would pass on his death through his daughter to the french while the former duke of lorraine francis stephen was made heir to the grand duchy of tuscany charles of parma gave up parma which came under direct austrian rule but he was richly compensated by being confirmed instead as king of naples and sicily although fighting stopped after the preliminary peace in the final peace settlement had to wait until the death of the last medici grand duke of tuscany gian gastone in to allow the territorial exchanges provided for by the peace settlement to go into effect the french and their allies hoping for dtente and good relations with the austrians now also recognized the pragmatic sanction that would allow emperor charles s daughter maria theresa to succeed him this proved a hollow guarantee however as the french decided to intervene to partition the habsburg monarchy after all following the death of charles in king however proved of lasting benefit to france as it passed under direct french rule with stanisaw s death in stanisaw signed the act of abdication in while augustus iii pronounced a general amnesty winiowiecki was rewarded the king made him the grand hetman commanderinchief of lithuania

 depleted uranium du also referred to in the past as qmetal depletalloy or d is uranium with a lower content of the fissile isotope u than natural uranium depleted uranium possesses only of the radioactivity of natural uranium having been depleted of much of its most highly radioactive u sup sup and u sup sup isotopes natural uranium is about uthe fissile isotope and the du used by the us department of defense contain less than u uses of du take advantage of its very high density of gcm sup sup denser than lead civilian uses include counterweights in aircraft radiation shielding in medical radiation therapy and industrial radiography equipment and containers used to transport radioactive materials military uses include defensive armor plating and armorpiercing projectiles most depleted uranium arises as a byproduct of the production of enriched uranium for use in nuclear reactors and in the manufacture of nuclear weapons enrichment processes generate uranium with a higherthannatural concentration is the uranium isotope supporting the fission chain reaction with the bulk of the feed ending up as depleted uranium in some cases with mass fractions of u and u less than a third of those in natural uranium u has a much longer halflife than the lighter isotopes and du therefore emits less alpha radiation than the same mass of natural uranium the us defense department states du used in us munitions has of the radioactivity of natural uranium since the u content of nuclear reactor fuel is reduced by fission uranium recovered by nuclear reprocessing from spent nuclear reactor fuel made from natural uranium will have a lowerthannatural u concentration such reactordepleted material will have different isotopic ratios from enrichment byproduct du and can be distinguished from it by the presence of u trace transuranics another indicator of the use of reprocessed material have been reported to be present in some us tank armor the use of du in munitions is controversial because of questions about potential longterm health effects normal functioning and numerous other systems can be affected by uranium exposure because uranium is a toxic metal it is only weakly radioactive because of its long radioactive halflife billion years for uranium million years for uranium the biological halflife the average time it takes for the human body to eliminate half the amount in the body for uranium is about days the aerosol or spallation frangible powder produced during impact and combustion of depleted uranium munitions can potentially contaminate wide areas around the impact sites leading to possible inhalation by human beings the actual level of acute and chronic toxicity of du is also a point of medical controversy several studies using cultured cells and laboratory rodents suggest the possibility of leukemogenic and of genetic reproductive and neurological effects from chronic exposure a epidemiology review concluded in aggregate the human epidemiological evidence is consistent with increased risk of birth defects in offspring of persons exposed to du the world health organization the directing and coordinating authority for health within developmental or carcinogenic effects have been reported in humans due to du exposure history enriched uranium was first manufactured in the early s when the united states and britain began their nuclear weapons programs later in the decade france and the soviet union began their nuclear weapons and nuclear power programs it was at this time that depleted uranium was first stored as an unusable waste product uranium hexafluoride there was some hope that the enrichment process would be improved and fissionable isotopes of u could at some future date be extracted from the depleted uranium this reenrichment recovery of the residual uranium contained in the depleted uranium is no longer a matter of the future it has been practiced for several years also it is possible to design civilian powergenerating reactors using unenriched fuel but only about cite print in the s the pentagon reported that the soviet military had developed armor plating for warsaw pact tanks that nato ammunition could not penetrate the pentagon began searching for material to ordnance researchers settled on depleted uranium the us and nato militaries used du penetrator rounds in the gulf war the bosnia war while clearing a decadesold hawaii firing range in workers found depleted uranium fins from training rounds from the formerly classified davy crockett recoilless gun tactical battlefield nuclear delivery system from the s and s these training rounds had been forgotten because they were used in a highly classified program and had been fired before du had become an item of interest more than years before the gulf war production and availability natural uranium metal contains about u u and about u in order to produce enriched uranium the process of isotope separation removes a substantial portion of the u for use in nuclear power weapons or other uses the remainder depleted uranium contains only to u because natural uranium begins with such a low percentage of u enrichment produces large quantities of depleted uranium for example kg of natural uranium and leaves about kg of depleted uranium with only u remaining the nuclear regulatory commission nrc defines depleted uranium as uranium with a percentage of the sup sup u isotope that is less than by weight see the military specifications designate that the du used by the us department of defense dod contain less than sup sup u aepi in actuality dod uses only du that contains approximately sup sup u aepi depleted uranium is also produced by recycling spent nuclear fuel in which case it contains traces of pu and np and has therefore been called dirty du although the quantities are so small that they are considered to be not of serious radiological significance even by ecrr uranium hexafluoride some depleted uranium produced is stored as uranium hexafluoride a crystalline solid d uf sub sub in steel cylinders each cylinder holds up to tonnes or short tons of uf sub sub in the us tonnes of depleted uf sub sub had accumulated by in tonnes in storage cylinders were located near portsmouth ohio and paducah kentucky the storage of duf sub sub presents environmental health and safety risks because of its chemical instability when uf sub sub is exposed to water vapor in the air it reacts with the moisture to produce uo sub sub f sub sub uranyl fluoride a solid and hf hydrogen fluoride a gas both of which are highly soluble and toxic the uranyl fluoride solid acts to plug the leak limiting further escape of depleted uf sub sub release of the hydrogen fluoride gas to the atmosphere is also slowed by the plug formation storage cylinders are regularly inspected for signs of corrosion and leaks and are repainted and repaired as necessary a tenfold us depleted uranium inventory into an asset worth billion assuming doe reenriches the tails this estimate is based on february market price for uranium and enrichment services and doe s access to sufficient uranium enrichment capacity there have been several accidents involving uranium hexafluoride in the united states including one in which workers were exposed to a cloud of uf sub sub and its reaction products person died and while a few workers with higher exposure experienced shortterm kidney damage eg protein in the urine none of them showed lasting damage from the exposure to uranium the us government has been converting duf sub sub to solid uranium oxides for use or disposal such disposal of the entire duf sub sub inventory could cost anywhere from million to million world depleted uranium inventory small small military applications depleted uranium is very dense at kgm it less dense than tungsten and gold and as dense as osmium or iridium which are the densest known substances under standard ie earthsurface pressures consequently a du projectile of given mass has a smaller diameter than an equivalent lead projectile with less aerodynamic drag and deeper penetration due to a higher pressure at point of impact du projectile ordnance is often inherently incendiary because of its pyrophoric property armor plate because of its high density depleted uranium can also be used in tank armor sandwiched between sheets of steel armor plate for instance some lateproduction maha and ma abrams tanks built after have du reinforcement as part of the armor plating in the front of the hull and the front of the turret and there is a program to upgrade the rest see chobham armor nuclear weapons depleted uranium is used as a tamper in fission bombs ammunition most military use of depleted uranium has been as mm caliber ordnance primarily the of the a thunderbolt ii used by the united states air force mm du rounds have been used in the m gun mounted on the us army s bradley fighting vehicle and the marine corp s lav the us marine corps uses du in the mm pgu round fired by the gau equalizer cannon of the avb harrier and also in the mm m gun mounted on ah cobra helicopter gunships the united states navy s phalanx ciws s m vulcan gatling gun used mm armorpiercing penetrator rounds with discarding plastic sabots made using depleted uranium later changed to tungsten another use of depleted uranium is in kinetic energy penetrators antiarmor rounds such as the mm sabot rounds fired from the british challenger challenger ma and ma abrams kinetic energy penetrator rounds consist of a long relatively thin penetrator surrounded by a discarding sabot staballoys are metal alloys of depleted uranium with a very small proportion of other metals usually titanium or molybdenum one formulation has a composition of titanium staballoys are approximately times as dense as lead and are designed for use in kinetic energy penetrator armorpiercing ammunition the us army uses du in an alloy with around titanium according to research at least some of the most promising tungsten alloys that have been considered as replacement for depleted uranium in penetrator ammunitions such as tungstencobalt or tungstennickelcobalt alloys also possess extreme carcinogenic properties which by far exceed those confirmed or suspected of depleted uranium itself of rats implanted with a pellet of such alloys developed lethal rhabdomyosarcoma within a few weeks depleted uranium is favored for the penetrator because it is selfsharpening and pyrophoric on impact with a hard target such as an armored vehicle the nose of the rod fractures in such a way that it remains sharp the impact and subsequent release of heat energy causes it to disintegrate to dust and burn when it reaches air because of its pyrophoric properties when a du penetrator reaches the interior of an armored vehicle it catches fire and possibly causing the vehicle to explode du is used by the us army in mm or mm cannons employed on the m abrams tank the russian military has used du ammunition in tank main gun ammunition since the late s mostly for the mm guns in the t tank and the mm guns in the t t t and t tanks the du content in various ammunition is g in mm projectiles g in mm ones g in mm kg in mm and kg in mm penetrators du was used during the mids in the us to make hand grenades cluster bombs and land mines but those applications have been discontinued according to alliant techsystems the us navy used du in its mm phalanx ciws guns but switched in the late s to armorpiercing tungsten it is thought that between and countries have weapons incorporating depleted uranium in their arsenals they include the india turkey saudi arabia israel bahrain egypt kuwait pakistan thailand iraq and taiwan iran also has performed wide research on du penetrators since du ammunition is manufactured in countries only the us and the uk have acknowledged using du weapons in a threeweek period of conflict in iraq during it was estimated that over tons of depleted uranium munitions were used legal status in weapons in the international court of justice icj gave an advisory opinion on the legality of the threat or use of nuclear weapons this made it clear in paragraphs and that international law on poisonous weaponsthe second hague declaration of july hague convention iv of october and the geneva protocol of june did not cover nuclear weapons because their prime or exclusive use was not to poison or asphyxiate this icj opinion was about nuclear weapons but the sentence the terms have been ordinary sense as covering weapons whose prime or even exclusive effect is to poison or asphyxiate also removes depleted uranium weaponry from coverage by the same treaties as their primary use is not to poison or asphyxiate but to destroy materiel and kill soldiers through kinetic energy the subcommission on prevention of discrimination and protection of minorities of the united nations human rights commission passed two motions the first in and the second in they listed weapons of mass destruction or weapons with indiscriminate effect or of a nature to cause superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering and urged all states to curb the production and the spread of such weapons included in the list was weaponry containing depleted uranium the committee authorized a working paper in the context of human rights and humanitarian norms of the weapons the requested un working paper was delivered in by y k j yeung sik yuen in accordance with subcommission on the promotion and protection of human rights resolution he argues that the use of du the subcommission may breach one or more of the following treaties the universal declaration of human rights the charter of the united nations the genocide convention the united nations convention against torture the geneva conventions including protocol i the convention on conventional weapons of and the chemical weapons convention yeung sik yuen writes in paragraph under the title legal compliance of weapons containing du as a new weapon louise arbour chief prosecutor for the international criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia led a committee of staff lawyers to investigate possible treaty prohibitions against the use of du in weapons their findings were that requests for a moratorium on military use some states and the international coalition to ban uranium weapons a coalition of more than nongovernmental organizations have asked for a ban on the production and military use of depleted uranium weapons the european parliament has repeatedly passed resolutions requesting an immediate moratorium on the further use of depleted uranium ammunition but france and britain united nations security council have consistently rejected calls for a ban maintaining that its use continues to be legal and that the health risks are unsubstantiated in france britain the netherlands and the czech republic voted against a united nations general assembly resolution to hold a debate in about the effects of the use of armaments and ammunitions containing depleted uranium all other european union nations voted in favour or abstained the ambassador from the netherlands explained his negative vote as being due to the reference in the preamble to the resolution to potential harmful effects of the use of depleted uranium munitions on human health and the environment which can not in our view be supported by conclusive scientific studies conducted by relevant international organizations none of the other permanent members of the united nations security council supported the resolution as china was absent for the vote russia abstained and the united states voted against the resolution in september and in response to the general assembly resolution the un secretary general international atomic energy agency iaea and world health organization who the iaea and who evidence differed little from previous statements on the issue the report was largely split between states concerned about depleted uranium s use such as finland cuba japan serbia argentina and predominantly nato members who do not consider the use of depleted uranium munitions problematic in december states supported a resolution requesting that three un agencies united nations environment programme unep who and iaea update their research on the impact of uranium munitions by late to coincide with the general assembly s th session four voted against abstained and were absent as before britain and france voted against the resolution all other european union nations voted in favour or abstained the netherlands which voted against a resolution in voted in favour as did finland and norway both of which had abstained in while the czech republic which voted against the resolution in against the resolution were israel and the united states both of which voted against in while as before china was absent for the vote and russia abstained on june belgium became the first country in the world to ban inert ammunition and armour that contains depleted uranium or any other industrially manufactured uranium the move followed a unanimous parliamentary vote on the issue on march the text of the law allowed for two years to pass until it came into force in april the belgian senate voted unanimously to restrict investments by belgian banks into the manufacturers of depleted uranium weapons in september the latin american parliament passed a resolution calling for a regional moratorium on the use production and procurement of uranium weapons it also called on the parlatino s members to work towards an international uranium weapons treaty in april the congress of costa rica passed a law prohibiting uranium weapons in its territories becoming the second country in the world to do bill seeking to outlaw depleted uranium weapons but it lapsed before approval by the dil civilian applications depleted uranium has a very high density and is primarily used as shielding material for other radioactive material and as ballast examples include sailboat keels as counterweights and as shielding in industrial radiography cameras shielding in industrial radiography cameras industrial radiography cameras include a very high activity gamma radiation source typically ir with an activity above tbq depleted uranium is often used in the cameras as a shield to protect individuals from the gamma source typically the uranium shield is supported and enclosed in polyurethane foam for thermal mechanical and oxidation protection and zeus detectors in due to its high density and natural radioactivity health considerations normal functioning of the kidney brain liver heart and numerous other systems can be affected by uranium exposure because in addition to being weakly radioactive uranium is a toxic metal if du particles do enter an individual the type of danger depend on the solubility of the particles briefly inhaled and insoluble means the du particles will stick around in the lungs and attendant lymph nodes presenting a radiological risk highly soluble means those particles are off to the kidneys where toxicity is the issue in military conflicts involving du munitions the major concern is inhalation of du particles in aerosols arising from the impacts of duenhanced projectiles with their targets when depleted uranium munitions penetrate armor or burn they create depleted uranium oxides in the form of dust that can be inhaled or contaminate wounds the institute of nuclear technologyradiation protection of attiki greece has noted that the aerosol produced during impact and combustion of depleted uranium munitions can potentially contaminate wide areas around the impact sites or can be inhaled by civilians and military personnel the utilisation of du in incendiary ammunition is controversial because of potential adverse health effects and its release into the environment in early the uk pensions appeal tribunal service attributed birth defect claims from a february gulf a epidemiology review concluded in aggregate the human epidemiological evidence is consistent with increased risk of birth defects in offspring of persons exposed to du studies using cultured cells and laboratory rodents continue to suggest the possibility of leukemogenic genetic reproductive and neurological effects from chronic exposure chemical toxicity the chemical toxicity of depleted uranium is about a million times greater in vitro than its radiological hazard with the kidney considered to be the main target organ health effects of du are determined by factors such as the extent of exposure and whether it was internal or external three main pathways exist by which internalization of uranium may occur inhalation ingestion and embedded fragments or shrapnel contamination properties such as phase eg particulate or gaseous oxidation state eg metallic or ceramic and the solubility of uranium and its compounds influence their absorption distribution translocation elimination and the resulting toxicity for example metallic uranium is less toxic compared to hexavalent of review information regarding uranium toxicity body system human studies animal studies in vitro uranium is pyrophoric when finely divided it will corrode under the influence of air and water producing insoluble uraniumiv and soluble uranium vi salts soluble uranium salts are toxic uranium slowly accumulates in several organs such as the liver spleen and kidneys the world health organization has established a daily tolerated intake of soluble uranium salts for the general public of gkg body weight or g for a kg adult epidemiological studies and toxicological tests on laboratory animals point to it as being immunotoxic and thus could not affect populations more than a few kilometers from target areas and that such particles if inhaled would remain undissolved in the lung for a great length of time and thus could be detected in urine violently burning uranium droplets produce a gaseous vapor comprising about half of the uranium in their original mass uranyl ion contamination in uranium oxides has approximately micrograms of natural uranium on average exist in the human body as a result of normal intake of water food and air most is in the skeleton the biochemistry of depleted uranium is the same as natural uranium radiological hazards the primary radiation danger from pure depleted uranium is due to alpha particles which do not travel far through air and do not penetrate clothing however in a matter of a month or so a sample of pure depleted uranium will generate small amounts of thorium and protactinium which emit the more penetrating beta particles at almost the same rate as the uranium emits alpha rays this is because uranium decays directly to thorium which with a halflife of days decays to protactinium which in turn decays in a matter of hours to the longlived uranium a quasisteady state is therefore reached within a few multiples of days available evidence suggests that the radiation risk is small relative to the chemical hazard surveying the veteranrelated evidence pertaining bmj concluded it was not possible to justify claims of radiationinduced lung cancer and leukaemia in veterans of that conflict while agreeing with the editorial s conclusion a reply noted that its finding in the negative was guaranteed given that global dose estimates or results of mathematical modelling are too inaccurate to be used as dose values for an individual veteran and that as of april no practical method of measuring the expected small doses that each individual veteran would receive had been suggested mould s suggestion was electron paramagnetic resonance dosimetry using tooth enamel he also wrote that the us national institute of standards and technology was able using this method to measure doses as low as msv and that if it were asked to the nist would be able to get involved meaning at least one centre could help undertake a screening programme for veterans the author of the reply a radiation scientist went on to suggest a method that had been used several times the widespread use of du in the iraq war at least a year after the conflict began testing for uk troops was still only in the discussion phase which found that perhaps a quarter of all uk troops would have been interested in undergoing durelated monitoring although the desire for du screening is more closely linked to current health status rather than plausible exposure to du p confusingly reports that testing is now available to all troops that served in iraq and does not say if this is testing la mould the royal society du working group concluded in that there were very low health risks associated with the use of depleted uranium though also ventured that in extreme conditions and under worstcase assumptions lung and kidney damage could occur and that in worstcase scenarios high local levels of uranium could occur in food or water that could have adverse effects on the kidney in the royal society issued another urgent call to investigate the actual health and environmental impact of depleted uranium the found no elevated risks of cancer generally nor of any specific cancers in particular though recommended follow up studies according to the world health organization a radiation dose from it would be about of that from purified natural uranium with the same mass the radiological dangers are lower due to its longer halflife and the removal of the more radioactive isotopes gulf war syndrome and soldier complaints since the year the gulf war ended veterans and their families voiced concern about subsequent health problems in assessment of the first veterans involved in the ministry of defence s gulf war medical assessment programme found no evidence of a single illness physical or mental that would explain the pattern of symptoms observed in the group nevertheless in medact petitioned for the who to conduct an investigation into illnesses in veterans and iraqi civilians a major review of peerreviewed literature by a us institute of medicine committee concluded that because the symptoms vary greatly among individuals they do not though their report conceded that the lack of objective predeployment health data meant definitive conclusions were effectively impossible the quote is of lynn goldman who chaired the iom committee that carried out the review p notes that despite clear evidence of an increase in symptom burden and a decrease in well being among gulf war veterans exhaustive clinical and laboratory based scientific research has failed to document many reproducible biomedical abnormalities in this group likewise there has been no evidence of an increase in disease related mortality simon wessely praised the iom s review and noted that despite its central conclusion that no novel syndrome existed its other findings made it equally clear that service in the gulf war did aversely affect health in some personnel the quote is of wessely himself aside from the lack of baseline data to guide analysis of the veterans postwar health because no detailed health screening was carried out when the veterans entered service another major stumbling block with some studies like the thousandveteran one is that making general conclusions impossible increased rates of immune system disorders and other wideranging symptoms including chronic pain fatigue and memory loss have been reported in over one quarter of combat veterans of the gulf war combustion products from depleted uranium munitions are being considered as one of the potential causes by the research advisory committee on gulf war veterans illnesses as du was used in mm and mm cannon rounds on a large scale for the first time in the gulf war veterans of the conflicts in the persian gulf bosnia and kosovo have been found to have up to times the usual level of chromosome abnormalities in their genes serumsoluble genotoxic teratogens produce congenital disorders and in white blood cells causes immune system damage human epidemiological evidence is consistent with increased risk of birth defects in the offspring of persons exposed to du after examination of children s medical records two years later the birth defect rate increased by more than in early the uk pensions appeal gulf war combat veteran to depleted uranium poisoning looking at the risk of children of uk gulf war veterans suffering genetic diseases such as congenital malformations commonly called birth defects one study found that the overall risk of any malformation was higher in gulf war veterans as compared to other veterans the us army has commissioned ongoing research into potential risks of depleted uranium and other projectile weapon materials like tungsten which the us navy has used in place of du since studies by the us armed forces radiobiology research institute conclude that moderate exposures to either depleted uranium or uranium present a significant toxicological threat in professor brian spratt frs chairman of the royal society s working group on depleted uranium said the question of who carries out the initial monitoring and cleanup is a political rather than scientific question and the coalition needs to acknowledge that depleted uranium is a potential hazard and make inroads into tackling it by being open about where and how much depleted uranium has been deployed a review medline through to the end of including multiple cohort studies of veterans found no consistent evidence of excess risks of neoplasms that could have some link to du and that the overall incidence of cancers is not increased in the cohort studies of gulf war and balkans veterans though a more comprehensive assessment is possible a update on a cancer scare regarding italian soldiers who had served in the balkans found lower than expected incidence rates for all cancers a finding consistent with lacking evidence of an increased cancer incidence among troops of other countries deployed in the areas of iraq bosnia and kosovo where armourpenetrating depleted uranium shells have been used one particular subgroup of veterans that may be at higher risk comprises those who have internally retained fragments of du from shrapnel wounds a laboratory study on rats produced by the armed forces radiobiology research institute showed that after a study period of months rats treated with depleted uranium coming from implanted pellets comparable to the average levels in the urine of a significant tendency to lose weight with respect to the control group substantial amounts of uranium were accumulating in their brains and central nervous systems and showed a significant reduction of neuronal activity in the hippocampus in response to external stimuli the conclusions of the study show that brain damage from chronic uranium intoxication is possible at lower doses than previously thought results from computerbased neurocognitive tests performed in showed an association between uranium in the urine and problematic performance on automated tests assessing performance efficiency and accuracy iraqi population since medical personnel at the basra hospital in southern iraq have reported a sharp increase in the incidence of child leukemia and genetic malformation among babies born in the decade following the gulf war iraqi doctors attributed these malformations to possible longterm effects of du an opinion that was echoed by several newspapers in iraq had the highest mortality rate due to leukemia of any country in the royal society called for western militaries to disclose where and how much du they had studies could be undertaken out in affected areas the international coalition to ban uranium weapons icbuw likewise urged that an epidemiological study be made in the basra region as asked for by iraqi doctors but no peerreviewed study has yet been undertaken in basra a medical survey cancer infant mortality and birth sex ratio in fallujah iraq published in july states that the increases in cancer and birth defectsare alarmingly high and that infant mortality has reached the group compares the dramatic increase five years after the actual war or exposure with the lymphoma italian peacekeepers developed after the balkan wars and the increased cancer risk in certain parts of sweden due to the chernobyl fallout the origin and time of introduction of the carcinogenic agent causing the genetic stress the group will address in a separate report the report mentions depleted uranium as one potentially relevant exposure but makes no conclusions on the source four studies in the second half of one of which described genetic damage in any population ever studied renewed calls for the us and uk to investigate the possible links between their military assault on the city in and the explosion in deformities cancers and other serious health problems even though no depleted uranium was found in soil samples taken from fallujah the balkans in the world health organization reported that data from kosovo was inconclusive and called for further studies a study by the united nations environment programme unep in bosnia and herzegovina stated that low levels of contaminate were found in drinking water and air particulate at du penetrator impact points the levels were stated as not a cause for alarm yet pekka haavisto chairman of the unep du projects stated the findings of this study stress again the importance of appropriate cleanup and civil protection measures in a postconflict situation a team of italian scientists from the university of siena reported in that although du was clearly added to the soil in the study area the phenomenon was very natural range of the element in soils moreover the absolute uranium concentrations indicate that there was no contamination of the earthworm species studied contamination as a result of the afghan war the canadian uranium medical research centre obtained urine samples from bombed civilian areas in jalalabad that showed concentrations of ngl of undepleted uranium far higher than the typical concentration in the british population of ngl studies indicating negligible effects studies in and earlier have concluded that du ammunition has no measurable detrimental health effects a literature review conducted by the rand corporation stated no evidence is documented in the literature of cancer or any other negative health effect related to the radiation received from exposure to depleted or natural uranium whether inhaled or ingested even at very high doses and a rand report authored by the us defense department undersecretary charged with evaluating du hazards considered the debate to be more political than scientific a oncology study concluded that the present scientific consensus is that du exposure to humans in to give rise to cancer induction former nato secretary general lord robertson stated in that the existing medical consensus is clear the hazard from depleted uranium is both very limited and limited to very specific circumstances a study from the australian defense ministry concluded that there has been no established increase in mortality or morbidity in workers exposed to uranium in uranium processing industries studies of gulf war veterans show that in those who have retained fragments of depleted uranium following combat related injury it has been possible to detect elevated urinary uranium levels but no kidney toxicity or other adverse health effects related to depleted uranium after a decade of followup pier roberto danesi thendirector of the international atomic energy agency iaea seibersdorf laboratory stated in that there is a consensus now that du does not represent a health threat a study by sandia national laboratories al marshall used mathematical models to analyze potential health effects associated with accidental exposure to depleted uranium during the gulf war marshall s exposure are not supported by his analysis nor by veteran medical statistics marshall also examined possible genetic effects due to radiation from depleted uranium chemical effects including potential reproductive issues associated with depleted uranium exposure were discussed in some detail in a subsequent journal paper atmospheric contamination as a result of military actions elevated radiation levels consistent with very low level atmospheric depleted uranium contamination have been found in air samples taken by the uk atomic weapons establishment at several monitoring sites in britain these elevated

 the united states presidential election of was the th quadrennial presidential election held from friday november to wednesday december democrat james k polk defeated whig henry clay in a close contest that turned on the controversial issue of slavery expansion through the annexation of the republic of texas the general election of took place in the midst of increasingly bitter congressional disputes over antislavery agitation raising questions as to whether freesoil and slavesoil interests could coexist within a democratic republic the campaign themes arose in direct response to incumbent president john tyler s pursuit of texas annexation as a slave state so as to undermine the unity of the whig and democratic parties in his bid to retain the white house the whig party nominee henry clay adopted an antiannexation platform on the principle of preserving northsouth sectional unity and to avoid war by respecting mexico s claims to texas clay s attempts to finesse his antiannexation position on texas alienated many voters in the south and west where annexation support was to the antislavery liberty party democrat martin van buren his party s presumptive presidential contender was ousted at the democratic national convention failing to meet the demands of southern democrat expansionists for a leader favoring the immediate acquisition of texas democrat james k polk emerged as america s first dark horse nominee running on a platform that embraced america s popular commitment to territorial expansionism referred to as manifest destiny polk successfully linked the usbritish boundary dispute over the partition of oregon territory with the divisive texas annexation debate in doing so the democratic party nominee united the antislavery northern expansionists who demanded oregon as freesoil with proslavery southern expansionists who insisted on acquiring texas as a slave state in doing so polk narrowly outpolled the whig party nominee clay by thirtyeight thousand votes party alliances were shaken by the texas controversy but partisan loyalties among congressional democrats were rallied sufficiently in the aftermath of polk s victory to pass a joint housesenate resolution on texas annexation texas would enter the union as presidential election to be held on different days in different states starting with the presidential election of all states held the election on the same date in november it is also the only presidential election in which the winner polk lost both his birth state of north carolina and his state of residence tennessee background gag rule and texas annexation controversies whigs and democrats embarked upon their campaigns during the climax of the congressional gag rule controversies in during which southern congressmen had suppressed northern petitions to end the slave trade in the district of columbia antiannexation petitions to congress sent from northern antislavery forces including state legislatures had been similarly suppressed intraparty sectional compromises and maneuvering on slavery politics during these divisive debates had placed significant strain on the northern and southern wings that comprised each political organization the question as to whether the institution of slavery and its aristocratic principles of social authority were compatible with democratic republicanism was becoming a permanent issue in national politics in a declared its independence to form the republic of texas texans mostly white immigrants from the deep south many of whom owned slaves sought to bring their republic into the union as a state during the eight years since the texas republic had declared its independence from mexico the subject of annexing texas to the united states was shunned by both major american political parties though recognizing texas sovereignty presidents andrew jackson and martin van buren would decline to pursue annexation the prospect of bringing another slave state into the union was fraught with problems both major parties the democrats and whigs viewed texas statehood as not worth a foreign war with mexico or the sectional combat that annexation would provoke in the united states tylertexas treaty the incumbent us president john tyler of virginia formerly vicepresident had ascended to the white house upon the death of william henry harrison in tyler a whig in name only emerged as a states rights advocate committed vetoing the whig domestic legislative agenda he was expelled from his own party on september politically isolated but unencumbered by party restraints tyler aligned himself with a small faction of texas annexationists in a bid for reelection in tyler became convinced that great britain had encouraged a texasmexico rapprochement that might lead to slave emancipation in the texas republic accordingly he directed secretary of state abel p upshur of virginia to initiate then relentlessly pursued secret annexation talks with texas minister to the united states isaac van zandt beginning on october tyler submitted his texasus treaty for annexation to the us senate delivered april where a twothirds majority was required for ratification the newly appointed secretary of state john c calhoun of south carolina assuming his post march included a document known as the packenham letter with the tyler bill that was calculated to inject a sense of crisis in southern democrats of the deep south in it he characterized as an emergency measure necessary to safeguard the peculiar institution in the united states in doing so tyler and calhoun sought to unite the south in a crusade that would present the north with an ultimatum support texas annexation or lose the south antislavery whigs considered texas annexation particularly egregious since mexico had outlawed slavery in coahuila y tejas in before texas independence had been declared historian william lee miller points out that the significance of acquiring texas annexing it now became quite different after the mexican government abolished slavery in after which the expansionist impulse included an overt reference to slavery the presidential campaigns evolved within the context of this struggle over texas annexation explicitly tied to the question of slavery expansion and national security all candidates in presidential election had to declare a position on this explosive issue nominations whig party convention and campaign whig candidates senator henry clay of kentucky effectively the leader of the whig party since its inception in was selected as the maryland on may clay a slaveholder presided over a party in which its southern wing was sufficiently committed to the national platform to put partisan loyalties above slavery expansionist proposals that might undermine its northsouth alliance whigs felt confident that clay could duplicate harrison s landslide victory of against any opposition candidate southern whigs feared that with the acquisition of texas fertile lands would produce a huge market for slave labor inflating the price of slaves and deflating land values in their home states northern whigs feared that texas statehood would initiate the opening of a vast empire for slavery two weeks before the whig convention in baltimore in reaction to calhoun s packenham letter clay issued a document known as the raleigh letter issued april presenting his views on texas to his fellow southern whigs in it he flatly denounced the tyler annexation bill and predicted that its passage would provoke a war with mexico whose government had never recognized texas independence clay underlined he would block annexation in the event that substantial sectional opposition existed anywhere in the united states the whig party leadership was acutely aware that any proslavery legislation advanced by its southern wing would alienate its antislavery northern wing and cripple the party in the general election in order to preserve their party whigs would need to stand squarely against acquiring a new slave state as such whigs were content to restrict their campaign platform to less divisive issues such as internal improvements and national finance whigs picked theodore frelinghuysen of new jersey the christian statesman as clay s running mate an advocate of colonization of emancipated slaves he was acceptable to southern whigs as an opponent of the abolitionists his pious reputation balanced clay s image as a slaveholding harddrinking duelist their party slogan was the bland hurray hurray the country s risin vote for clay and frelinghuysen henry clay s alabama letter on july henry clay in the midst of his campaign against james k letter in it he counseled his whig constituency to regard texas annexation and statehood as merely a short phase in the decline of slavery in the united states rather than a long term advance for the slavepower clay qualified his stance on texas annexation declaring no personal objection to the annexation of the republic he would move back to his original orientation in september northern whigs expressed outrage at any dtente with the slavepower failing to evince singlemindedness they accused him of eqivocating on texas annexation clay s central position however had not altered no annexation without northern acquiescence clay s commitment brought southern whigs under extreme pressure in their home states and congressional districts threatening to tarnish their loyalty to slavery credentials whig party campaign tactics historian sean wilentz describes some the whig campaign tactics the liberty party added to the confusion clay became the object of nasty abolitionist attacks one notorious handbill widely reprinted by an abolitionist minister abel j brown democratic party campaign and chief architect of the jacksonian democracy was presumptive democratic presidential contender in the spring of with calhoun withdrawing his bid for the presidency in january the campaign was expected to focus on domestic issues all this changed with the tyler treaty van buren regarded the tyler annexation measure as an attempt to sabotage his bid for the white house by exacerbating the already strained democratic northsouth alliance regarding slavery expansion calhoun s packenham letter would serve to spur democrats of the south to the task of forcing the northern wing of the party to submit to texas annexation despite the high risk of aggressively injecting slavery into their political campaign over texas van buren s hammet letter van buren realized that accommodating slavery expansionists in the south would open the northern democrats to withering charges of appeasement to the slavepower from the strongly antiannexation northern whigs and some democrats he crafted an emphatically antitexas position that temporized with expansionist southern democrats laying out a highly conditional scenario that delayed texas annexation indefinitely penned april he counseled his party to reject texas under a tyler administration furthermore annexation of texas as a territory would proceed tentatively under a van buren administration only when the american public had been consulted on the matter and mexico s cooperation had been pursued to avoid an unnecessary war a military option might be advanced if a groundswell of popular support arose for texas certified with a congressional mandate in these respects martin van buren differed from henry clay who would never tolerate annexation without mexico s assent with the publication of clay s raleigh letter and van buren s hammett letter van burenite democrats hoped that their candidate s posture on texas would leave southern proannexationists with exactly one choice for us president martin van buren in this they misapprehended the political situation tyler and the southern proannexationists posed a potentially far greater threat then clay in that the tylercalhoun treaty would put immense pressure on the northern democrats to comply with southern democrats demands for texas deep south extremists who had responded favorably to calhoun s pakenham letter a minority phlanx of the southern democrat leadership remained obdurate that northern democratic legislators would when exposed to sufficient southern pressure ignore their constituents opposition to slavery expansion and unite in support of texas annexation the extent to which southern democrat support for martin van buren had eroded over texas annexation crisis became evident when van buren s southern counterpart in the rise of the democratic party thomas ritchie of the richmond enquirer terminated their year political alliance in favor of immediate annexation andrew jackson secretary of state john c calhoun a political outsider like john tyler gained significant credibility when his former nemesis expresident andrew jackson publicly announced his support for immediate texas annexation in may old hickory had facilitated tyler s texas negotiations in february by reassuring president of the texas republic sam houston that the us senate ratification of the tyler treaty was likely as the senate debated the tyler treaty jackson be respected and any delay would result in a british balkanized texas republic promoting slave emancipation and posing a foreign military threat to the southwest united states the former military hero went further urging all jacksonian democrats to block martin van buren from the party ticket and seek a democratic presidential candidate fully committed to the immediate annexation of texas in doing so jackson abandoned the jeffersonianjacksonian formula that had characterized his party since the s which had required its northern and southern wings to compromise on constitutional slavery disputes texas was fracturing van buren s support among democrats and would derail his bid for president of the united states democratic party convention democratic candidates gallery toolong governor james k polk of tennessee toolong president martin van buren of new york toolong lewis cass of michigan toolong vice

had adopted a simple majority principle for nominee selection northern democrat van burenites arrived expectation that possessing a majority of the delegates they would quickly secure the candidacy for their man early in proceedings senator robert j walker of mississippi in cooperation with senator james buchanan of pennsylvania called for the reinstatement of the traditional and convention rule requiring a twothirds majority for nomination the rule would remain in place until it was revoked by franklin delano roosevelt in following a historical pattern in which a minority faction of northern democrats delivered votes to produce southern wing victories for proslavery legislation the van burenite delegates split over the pivotal vote fully onethird of the provan buren delegates of voted to reinstate the twothirds rule along with of antivan buren delegates producing a final vote of to van buren supporters persisted in spite of this setback garnering votes for their candidate on the first ballot a simple majority but short of the now required votes middle and deep south proannexationists opposed van buren for victory support for van buren dwindled in subsequent ballots from to at which point van burenites were reduced to blocking nominations of numerous candidates among them james buchanan lewis cass of michigan john c calhoun and levi woodbury of new hampshire southern intransigence had succeeded in eliminating van buren and his principled stand on texas annexation if the democratic party was to avoid dissolution at a national level an acceptable nominee fully committed to immediate annexation would be required yet capable of unifying the party in the general election james k polk dark horse southern democrats benefited from the tylercalhoun machinations in eliminating martin van buren as a presidential candidate and clearing the way for the proannexation nationalist polk on the eighth ballot polk was offered to the convention as an acceptable alternative for all democratic factions at odds over the texas annexation crisis despite polk s fervent advocacy for annexation he had remained loyal to van buren throughout the texas controversy and antiannexationist van burenites were willing him as a suitable vicepresidential choice to have complimented a van buren ticket despite whig efforts to cast polk as an unknown who is james k polk they asked rhetorically he was respected as an effective political operator his sobriquet the young hickory contained a dual reference one to his mentor andrew old hickory jackson and one to the term young america a reference to an international movements struggling to establish republican forms of government and the overthrow of monarchies and ascribed to manifest destiny democrats james k polk a slaveholder never enunciated a slavery expansionist position with respect to texas annexation as had john c calhoun and the southern extremists as a national imperialist he exhibited an unwavering support for manifest destiny perceived as a nonsectional devotion to expansionism whether slavesoil texas or freesoil oregon territory polk s political reputation was expected to diffuse northern democratic resentment towards the slavepower while delivering texas to the deep south on may polk was confirmed unanimously on the ninth ballot as the democratic s decision to unite under a proannexation candidate and worked to win new york state for polk the antiannexationist silas wright us senator from new york was offered the nomination for polk s vicepresidential running mate wright declined on principle and the convention settled on george m dallas a conservative from pennsylvania democratic party campaign tactics historian sean wilentz describes some the democrat campaign tactics senate vote on the tylertexas treaty the tylertexas annexation treaty submitted to the senate in april was defeated in the whig controlled senate largely along partisan lines to a twothirds majority against passage on june whigs voted against the treaty all northern whig senators voted nay and fourteen of fifteen southern whig senators had joined them democrats voted for the treaty with a slight majority of northern democrats opposing southern democrats affirmed the treaty with only one slave state senator thomas hart benton voting against three days later tyler the supermajority requirement for senate treaty approval substituting the constitutional protocols for admitting regions of the united states into the union as states tyler proposed that alternative yet constitutional means be used to bring the republic of texas a foreign country into the union tyler and calhoun formerly staunch supporters of minority safeguards based on the supermajority requirements for national legislation now altered their position to facilitate passage of the tyler treaty tyler s attempt to evade the senate vote launched a spirited congressional debate national democraticrepublican party campaign and convention tyler and texas when the senate closed session debates on the tylertexas treaty were leaked to the public on april tyler s only hope of success in influencing passage of the his treaty was to intervene directly as candidate in the election as kingmaker his democraticrepublican party a recycling of thomas jefferson s party name held its convention on may in baltimore maryland a short distance from the unfolding democratic party convention that would the same day without challenge accepting the honor on may he designated no vicepresident as running mate democratic party nominee james k polk was faced with the possibility that a tyler ticket might shift votes away from the democrats and provide whig henry clay with the margin of victory in a close race tyler made clear in his convention acceptance speech that his overriding concern was the ratification of his texas annexation treaty moreover he hinted that he would drop out of the race when that end was assured informing polk through senator robert j walker that his campaign efforts were simply a vehicle to mobilize support for texas annexation tyler concentrated his resources in the states of new york pennsylvania and new jersey all highly contested states in the election securing enough democratic support his withdrawal might prove indispensable to polk polk was receptive as long as tyler could withdraw without raising suspicion of a secret bargain to solidify tyler s cooperation polk enlisted andrew jackson to reassure tyler that on august tyler dropped out of the presidential race tylerites moved quickly to support the democratic party nominee other nominations james birney ran as the antislavery liberty party candidate garnering of the popular vote and over of the vote in massachusetts new hampshire and vermont the votes he won were more than the difference in votes between henry clay and james k polk some scholars have argued that birney s support among antislavery whigs in new york swung that decisive state in favor of polk see below joseph smith jr mayor of nauvoo illinois and founder of the latter day saint movement ran as an independent he proposed the redemption of slaves by selling public lands and decreasing the size and salary of the united states congress the closure of prisons the annexation of texas oregon and parts of canada the securing of international rights on high seas free trade and the reestablishment of a national bank the campaign carthage il jail on june election results polk s adoption of manifest destiny paid dividends at the polls no longer identified with the tylercalhoun southern crusade for slavery the western democrats could embrace texas annexation the democrats enjoyed a huge upsurge in voter turnout up to over the figures from especially in the northwest and midatlantic regions the whigs showed only a increase the democrats won michigan illinois and indiana and nearly took ohio where manifest destiny was strongest in the deep south clay lost every state to polk a huge reversal from the race but carried most of the middle and border south clay s waffling on texas may have cost him the electoral votes in both new york and michigan here the former slaveholder now abolitionist james g birney of the liberty party received and respectively on the basis of his unwavering stand against texas annexation polk won by a mere out of votes in michigan had either of these voting blocks cast their ballots for the antiannexationist clay he would have defeated polk despite this clay s opposition to annexation and western slavery expansion served him well among northern whigs and nearly secured him the election source popular vote source electoral vote sup a sup the popular vote figures exclude south carolina where the electors were chosen by the state legislature rather than by popular vote results by state electoral college selection consequences polk s election confirmed the american public s desire for westward expansion the annexation of texas was formalized on march before polk even took office as feared mexico refused to accept the annexation and the mexicanamerican war broke out in with polk s main issue of texas settled instead of demanding all of oregon he compromised and the united states and united kingdom negotiated the oregon treaty see also second party system united

 cloud albedo is a measure of the albedo of a cloud higher values mean that the cloud reflects more solar radiation or less radiation is transmitted cloud albedo varies from less than to more than and depends on drop sizes liquid water or ice content thickness of the cloud and the sun s zenith angle the smaller the drops and the greater the liquid water content the greater the cloud albedo if all other factors are the same low thick clouds such as stratocumulus primarily reflect incoming solar radiation causing it to have a high albedo whereas high thin clouds such as cirrus tend to transmit it to the surface but then trap outgoing infrared radiation causing it to have low albedo it contributes to the greenhouse effect

university of poitiers in lebesgue moved to the sorbonne as a matre de confrences being promoted to professor starting with in he left the sorbonne to become professor of mathematics at the collge de france where he lectured and did research for the rest of his life in he was elected a member of the acadmie franaise henri lebesgue died on july in paris mathematical career lebesgue s first paper was published in and was titled sur lapproximation des fonctions it dealt with weierstrass theorem on approximation to continuous functions by polynomials between march and april lebesgue published six notes in comptes rendus the first of these unrelated to his development of lebesgue integration dealt with the extension of baire s theorem to functions of two variables the next five dealt with surfaces applicable to a plane the area a given bound and the final note gave the definition of lebesgue integration for some function fx lebesgue s great thesis intgrale longueur aire with the full account of this work appeared in the annali di matematica in the first chapter develops the theory of measure see borel measure in the second chapter he defines the integral both geometrically and analytically the next chapters expand the comptes rendus notes dealing with length area and applicable surfaces the final chapter deals mainly with plateau s problem this dissertation is considered to be one of the finest ever written by a mathematician his lectures from to were collected into a borel tract leons sur lintgration et la recherche des fonctions primitives the problem of integration regarded as the search for a primitive function is the keynote of the book lebesgue presents the problem of integration in its historical context addressing augustinlouis cauchy peter gustav lejeune dirichlet and desirable that the integral should satisfy the last of which is if the sequence f sub n sub x increases to the limit fx the integral of f sub n sub x tends to the integral of fx lebesgue shows that his conditions lead to the theory of measure and measurable functions and the analytical and geometrical definitions of the integral he turned next to trigonometric functions with his paper sur les sries trigonomtriques he presented three major theorems in this work that a trigonometrical series representing a bounded function is a fourier series that the n sup th sup fourier coefficient tends to zero the riemannlebesgue lemma and that a fourier series is integrable term by term in lebesgue lectured once again at the collge de france this time on trigonometrical series and he went on to publish his lectures in another of the borel tracts in this tract he once again treats the subject in its historical context he expounds on fourier series cantorriemann theory the poisson reprsentation trigonomtrique approche des fonctions satisfaisant a une condition de lipschitz deals with the fourier series of functions satisfying a lipschitz condition with an evaluation of the order of magnitude of the remainder term he also proves that the riemannlebesgue lemma is a best possible result for continuous functions and gives some treatment to lebesgue constants lebesgue once wrote rduites des thories gnrales les mathmatiques seraient une belle forme sans contenu reduced to general theories mathematics would be a beautiful form without content in measuretheoretic analysis and related branches of mathematics the lebesguestieltjes integral generalizes riemannstieltjes and lebesgue integration preserving the many advantages of the latter in a more general measuretheoretic framework during the course of his career lebesgue also made forays into the realms of complex analysis and topology he also had a disagreement with borel called teilweise heftig with regards to effective calculation however these minor forays pale in comparison to his contributions to real analysis his contributions to this field had a his methods have become an essential part of modern analysis additionally he is claimed to be the last of the mathematicians to consider one to be a prime number lebesgue s theory of integration this is a nontechnical treatment from a historical point of view see the article lebesgue integration for a technical treatment from a mathematical point of view integration is a mathematical operation that corresponds to the informal idea of finding the area under the graph of a function the first theory of integration was developed by archimedes in the rd century bc with his method of quadratures but this could be applied only in limited circumstances with a high degree of geometric symmetry in the th century isaac newton and gottfried wilhelm leibniz discovered the idea that integration was intrinsically linked to differentiation the latter being a way of measuring how quickly a function changed at any given point on the graph this surprising relationship between two major geometric operations in calculus differentiation and integration is now known as to calculate a broad class of integrals for the first time however unlike archimedes method which was based on euclidean geometry mathematicians felt that newton s and leibniz s integral calculus did not have a rigorous foundation in the th century augustin cauchy developed epsilondelta limits and bernhard riemann followed up on this by formalizing what is now called the riemann integral to define this integral one fills the area under the graph with smaller and smaller rectangles and takes the limit of the sums of the areas of the rectangles at each stage for some functions however the total area of these rectangles does not approach a single number as such they have no riemann integral lebesgue invented a new method of integration to solve this problem instead of using the areas of rectangles which put the focus on the domain of the function lebesgue looked at the codomain of the function for his fundamental unit of area lebesgue s idea was to first define measure for both sets build the integral for what he called simple functions measurable functions that take only finitely many values then he defined it for more complicated functions as the least upper bound of all the integrals of simple functions smaller than the function in question lebesgue integration has the property that every function defined over a bounded interval with a riemann integral also has a lebesgue integral and for those functions the two integrals agree furthermore every bounded function on a closed bounded interval has a lebesgue integral and there are many functions with a lebesgue integral that have no riemann integral as part of the development of lebesgue integration lebesgue invented the concept of measure which extends the idea of length from intervals to a very large class of sets called measurable sets so more precisely simple functions are functions that take a finite number of values and each value is taken on a measurable set lebesgue s technique for turning a measure into an integral generalises easily to many other situations leading to the deficient in one respect the riemann integral generalises to the improper riemann integral to measure functions whose domain of definition is not a closed interval the lebesgue integral integrates many of these functions always reproducing the same answer when it did but not all of them for functions on the real line the henstock integral is an even more general notion of integral based on riemann s theory rather than lebesgue s that subsumes both lebesgue integration and improper riemann integration however the henstock integral depends on specific ordering features of the real line and so does not generalise to allow integration in more general spaces say manifolds while the lebesgue integral extends to such spaces quite naturally 
 edith louisa cavell december october was a british nurse she is celebrated for saving the lives of soldiers from both sides without distinction and in helping some allied soldiers escape from germanoccupied belgium during the first world war for which she was arrested she was subsequently courtmartialled found guilty of treason and sentenced to death despite international pressure for mercy she was shot by a german firing squad her execution received worldwide condemnation and extensive press coverage she is well known for her statement that patriotism is not enough her strong anglican beliefs propelled her to help all those who needed it both german and allied soldiers she was quoted as saying i cant stop while there are lives to be saved october is appointed for her commemoration in the anglican church although this is not a saint s feast day in the traditional sense edith cavell who was at the time of her execution was already notable as a pioneer career edith cavell was born on december in swardeston a village near norwich where her father was vicar for years she was the eldest of the four children of the reverend frederick and louisa sophia cavell and was taught always to share with the less fortunate despite her familys meagre income after a period as a governess including for a family in brussels she trained as a nurse at the london hospital under matron eva luckes and worked in various hospitals in england including shoreditch infirmary in cavell was recruited by dr antoine depage to be matron of a newly established nursing school l cole belge dinfirmires diplmes or the berkendael medical institute on the rue de la culture now rue franz merjay ixelles in brussels by miss cavell felt that the profession of nursing had gained sufficient foothold in belgium to warrant the publishing of a professional journal and therefore launched the nursing journal linfirmire a hospitals schools and kindergartens in belgium when the first world war broke out she was visiting her widowed mother in norfolk in the east of england she returned to brussels where her clinic and nursing school were taken over by the red cross first world war and execution in november after the german occupation of brussels cavell began sheltering british soldiers and funnelling them out of occupied belgium to the neutral netherlands wounded british and french soldiers and belgian and french civilians of military age were hidden from the germans and provided with false papers by prince reginald de croy at his chteau of bellignies near mons from there they were conducted by various guides to the houses of cavell louis sverin and others in brussels and furnished by them with money to reach the dutch frontier and with guides obtained through philippe baucq she was arrested on august and charged with harbouring allied soldiers she had been betrayed by gaston quien who was later convicted by a was prosecuted for aiding british and french soldiers in addition to young belgian men to cross the border and eventually enter britain she admitted her guilt when she signed a statement the day before the trial cavell declared that the soldiers she had helped escape thanked her in writing when arriving safely in britain this admission confirmed that cavell had helped the soldiers navigate the dutch frontier but it also established that she helped them escape to a country at war with germany the penalty according to german military law was death paragraph of the german military code said will be sentenced to death for treason any person who with the intention of helping the hostile power or of causing harm to the german or allied troops is guilty of one of the crimes of paragraph of the german penal code the case referred to in the abovementioned paragraph consists of conducting soldiers to the enemy additionally the penalties according to paragraph of the german code in case of war first geneva convention ordinarily guaranteed protection of medical personnel that protection was forfeit if used as cover for any belligerent action this forfeiture is expressed in article of the version of the convention which was the version in force at the time the german authorities instead justified prosecution merely on the basis of the german law and the interests of the german state the british government could do nothing to help her sir horace rowland of the foreign office said i am afraid that it is likely to go hard with miss cavell i am afraid we are powerless lord robert cecil undersecretary for foreign affairs said any representation by us he advised will do her more harm than good the united states however had not yet joined the war and was in a position to apply diplomatic pressure hugh s gibson first secretary of the us legation at brussels made clear to the german government that executing cavell would further harm germany s already damaged reputation later von der lancken of the burning of leuven baron von der lancken is known to have stated that cavell should be pardoned because of her complete honesty and because she had helped save so many lives german as well as allied however traugott von sauberzweig cavell was not arrested for espionage as many were led to believe but for treason when in custody cavell was questioned in french but the session was minuted in german this gave the interrogator the opportunity to misinterpret her answers although she may have been misrepresented she made no attempt to defend herself cavell was provided with a defender approved by the german military governor a previous defender who was chosen for cavell by her assistant elizabeth wilkins the night before her execution she told the reverend stirling gahan the anglican chaplain who had been allowed to see her and to give her holy communion patriotism is not enough i must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone from his sick bed brand whitlock on cavell s behalf to moritz von bissing the governor general of belgium hugh gibson maitre g de leval the legal adviser to the united states legation and rodrigo saavedra y vinent nd marques de villalobar the spanish minister formed a midnight deputation of appeal for mercy or at least postponement of sentence there is also a dispute over the sentencing imposed under the german military code supposedly the death penalty relevant to the offence committed by cavell was not officially declared until a few hours after her death on instructions from the spanish minister belgian women immediately buried her body next to saintgilles prison role in first world war propaganda in the months and years following cavell s death countless newspaper articles pamphlets images and books publicised her story she became an iconic propaganda figure for military recruitment in britain and to help increase favourable sentiment towards the allies in the united states she was a popular icon because of her sex her nursing profession was represented as an act of german barbarism and moral depravity news reports shortly following cavell s execution were found to be only true in part even the american journal of nursing repeated the fictional account of cavell s execution in which she fainted and fell because of her refusal to wear a blindfold in front of the firing squad allegedly while she lay unconscious the german commanding officer shot her dead with a revolver numerous accounts like these stimulated international outrage and general antigerman sentiments along with the invasion of belgium and the sinking of the rms lusitania because of the british government s decision to use cavell s story as propaganda she became the most prominent british female casualty of first world war the combination of heroic appeal and a resonant atrocitystory narrative made cavell s case one of the most effective in british propaganda of the first world war as well as a factor in enduring postwar antigerman sentiment before the first world war cavell was not well known different depictions of her in british propaganda which ignored anything that did not fit this image including the suggestion that cavell during her interrogation had given information that incriminated others in november the british foreign office issued a denial that cavell had implicated anyone else in her testimony one image commonly represented was of cavell as an innocent victim of a ruthless and dishonourable enemy this view depicted her as innocent of espionage and was most commonly used in various forms of british propaganda such as postcards and newspaper illustrations during the war her story was presented in the british press as a means of fuelling a desire for revenge on the battlefield these images implied that men must enlist in the armed forces immediately in order to stop the murder of innocent british women another second representation of cavell during the first world war saw her described as a serious reserved brave and patriotic woman who devoted her life to nursing and died to save others this portrayal has been of the red cross nurse pastor le seur the german army chaplain recalled at the time of her execution i do not believe that miss cavell wanted to be a martyrbut she was ready to die for her country miss cavell was a very brave woman and a faithful christian german response unlike the rest of the world the german government thought that they had acted fairly towards cavell in a letter german undersecretary for foreign affairs dr alfred zimmermann not to be confused with arthur zimmerman german secretary for foreign affairs made a statement to the press on behalf of the german government from the germans perspective had they released cavell there would have been a surge in the number of women participating in acts against germany because they knew they would not be severely punished it was up to the responsible men to follow their legal duty to germany and ignore the worlds condemnation their laws do not make distinctions between sexes the only exception to this rule being probably this means pregnant condition could not be executed the german government also believed that all of the convicted people were thoroughly aware of the nature of their acts the court paid particular attention to this point releasing several accused persons because there was doubt as to whether the accused knew that their actions were punishable burial and memorials cavell s remains were returned to britain after the war and a state funeral was held at westminster abbey on may her body was reburied at the east side of norwich cathedral a graveside service is still held each october the railway van that conveyed her remains from dover to london is kept as a memorial on the kent and east sussex railway and is usually open to view at bodiam railway station following cavell s death many memorials were created around the world to remember her one of the first was the one unveiled october by alexandra of denmark in the calendar of saints church of england the day appointed for is a memorial in her honour rather than formal canonisation cavell is to be featured on a uk commemorative coin part of a set to be issued in by the royal mint to mark the centenary of the war other honours include memorials a dedication on the war memorial on the grounds of sacred trinity

most populous brazilian city and the third in the so paulo state the city s metropolitan area the greater campinas as of contains nineteen cities including campinas and has a total population of people the city is home to the university of campinas one of the most prestigious in latin america etymology campinas means grass fields in portuguese and refers to its characteristic landscape which originally comprised large stretches of dense subtropical forests mato grosso or thick woods in portuguese mainly along the many rivers interspersed with gently rolling hills covered by lowlying vegetation campinas was also known as cidade das andorinhas city of swallows because it was a favorite spot for to downtown campinas however they almost disappeared around the s probably because the church and plaza where they used to roost were torn down campinas official crest and flag has a picture of the mythical bird the phoenix because it was practically reborn after a devastating epidemic of yellow fever in the s which killed more than of the city s inhabitants the demonym for campinas is a campineiro or campinense history the city was founded on july by barreto leme it was initially a simple outpost on the way to minas gerais and gois serving the bandeirantes who were in search of precious minerals and indian slaves in the first half of the th century campinas became a growing population center with many coffee cotton and sugarcane farms the construction of a railway linking the city of so paulo to santos seaport in was very important for its growth in the second half of the th century many foreign immigrants to replace the lost manpower mainly from italy coffee became an important export and the city became wealthy in consequence a large service sector was established to serve the growing population and in the first decades of the th century campinas could already boast of an opera house theaters banks movie theaters radio stations a philharmonic orchestra two newspapers correio popular and dirio do povo a good public education system with the escola normal de campinas and the colgio culto cincia and hospitals such as the santa casa de misericrdia a charity for poor people and the casa de sade de campinas for the italian community formerly known as circolo italiani uniti and the most important brazilian research center in agricultural sciences the instituto agronmico de campinas which was founded by emperor pedro ii finally the construction of the first brazilian highway in between campinas turning point in the integration of campinas into the rest of the state campinas was the birthplace of opera composer carlos gomes and of the president of the republic campos salles it was home for years to hrcules

neighboring cities are paulnia jaguarina and pedreira north morungaba itatiba and valinhos in the east itupeva indaiatuba and monte mor south and hortolndia in the west ecology most of the original vegetation of the city was devastated like other municipalities in the severe environmental stress and campinas is considered one of the areas liable to flooding and silting it now has less than of vegetation cover to try to reverse this situation several projects have been and are being conducted and planned such as building corridors such as regulation of the management plan of environmental

teixeira sp around the city currently interconnects the anhangera and dom pedro i motorways campinas has long been a major railway hub too although passenger train lines no longer operate there the city built a light rail line in the earlys but due to low ridership the city is viracopos international airport located km from downtown campinas and km from the city of so paulo and can be reached by three motorways santos dumont bandeirantes and anhanguera because of the size and wealth of the regional population around campinas and its industrial sector which relies strongly on importation and exportation the airport today is one of the airport s operator infraero highest priorities to receive investments due to the operation of several passenger airlines such as tam airlines gol airlines trip airlines and more recently azul airlines which has made viracopos as its main national hub the airport is now also the third in the ranking of highest passenger movement in the state of so paulo a fast train line is planned for connecting the capital city of so paulo to the viracopos airport thus enhancing its importance in the air transportation in brazil a second facility campo dos amarais

 the temple mount and eretz yisrael land of israel faithful movement is an orthodox jewish movement based in jerusalem israel whose goal is to rebuild the third jewish temple on the temple mount in jerusalem and reinstitute the practice of ritual sacrifice the movement was founded by former israel defense forces officer and middle eastern studies lecturer gershon salomon members of the movement are referred to as the temple mount faithful the group was established in on october seventeen palestinians were killed and over others injured by israeli border police in the temple mount riots triggered by an announcement by the temple mount faithful that they were going to lay a cornerstone for a third jewish temple on the temple mount in jerusalem after the riots the police prohibited salomon from entering the temple mount his appeal of that decision was subsequently denied by israel s high court of justice the temple mount faithful was the first significant group to advocate the jewish takeover of the temple mount and during with that position initially the group presented its argument largely in terms of nationalistic rather than religious symbolism in a interview salomon stated that whoever controls the temple mount has rights over the land of israel over time gershon salomon developed a more religiously oriented apocalyptic and messianic platform which however was distinctly nonorthodox in character tensions with the more orthodox elements in the group caused a formal split in when a more religiouslyoriented splinter group called the movement for the establishment of the temple was founded subsequently the influence of the temple mount faithful among the radical jewish activists gradually waned although the group still retains significant visibility the temple mount faithful functions as a protest movement but unlike some other radical jewish groups it attempts to operate within israeli law typically shortly before major jewish religious festivals the group requests a permit from the israeli police to enter the temple mount compound and conduct prayer services there these requests are routinely denied and are followed by high court also routinely permits the group to enter the site but not to pray there and such permit is contingent on the israeli police concluding that the security situation would allow such entry the police conclude that the entry can not be permitted for security reasons and the temple mount faithful are not allowed to enter the temple mount compound as a result their demonstrations usually proceed to the mograbi gate and are stopped by the police there outside of the compound in recent years salomon increasingly shifted the focus of the temple mount faithful in the apocalyptic and messianic direction and restoration of the jewish temple became one of the central objectives of the movement during the same period the movement developed close ties with christian fundamentalist circles and it receives significant financial assistance from some christian groups particularly in the us footnotes 
 ununpentium is the temporary name of a synthetic superheavy element in the periodic table that has the temporary symbol uup and has the atomic number it is placed as a heavier homologue to bismuth and the heaviest member of group va it was first observed in and about atoms of ununpentium have been synthesized to date with about direct decays of the parent element having been detected four consecutive isotopes are currently known sup sup uup with sup sup uup having the longest measured halflife of ms on august researchers at gsi from lund university in sweden reported confirming the existence of the element on september researchers from the same research group working in darmstadt germany reported synthesis as well history discovery profile on february synthesis of ununpentium was reported in physical review c by a team composed of russian scientists at the joint institute for nuclear research national laboratory the team reported that they bombarded americium with calcium ions to produce four atoms of ununpentium these atoms they report decayed by emission of alphaparticles to ununtrium in approximately milliseconds n the dubnalivermore collaboration has strengthened their claim for the discovery of ununpentium by conducting chemical experiments on the decay daughter sup sup db in experiments in june and december the dubnium isotope was successfully identified by milking the db fraction and measuring any sf activities both the halflife and decay mode were confirmed for the proposed sup sup db which lends support to the assignment of z to the parent nuclei sergei dmitriev from the flerov laboratory of nuclear reactions flnr in dubna russia has formally put forward their claim of discovery of ununpentium to the iupaciupap joint working party jwp in the iupac evaluated the dubnalivermore results and concluded that they did not meet the criteria for discovery naming ununpentium is historically known as ekabismuth temporary iupac systematic element name derived from the digits where un represents latin unum pent represents the greek word for for more see systematic element name current and future experiments the team at dubna are currently running another series of experiments on the sup sup am sup sup ca xn reaction they are attempting to complete the n excitation function and confirm the data for sup sup uup they are also hoping to identify some decays from the n and n exit channels this reaction will run until the christmas shutdown the flnr also have future plans to study light isotopes of element using the reaction sup sup am sup sup ca a team of researchers at lund university announced they had corroborated the findings in august by shooting calcium ions into a thin film of americium researchers at the gsi helmholtz in darmstadt germany reported the successful synthesis of ununpentium using the same reaction just two weeks later targetprojectile combinations the table below contains various combinations of targets

sup sup am sup sup cm sup sup bk sup sup cf hot fusion hot fusion reactions are processes that create compound nuclei at high excitation energy mev therefore hot leading to a reduced probability of survival from fission the excited nucleus then decays to the ground state via the emission of neutrons fusion reactions utilizing sup sup ca nuclei usually produce and are sometimes referred to as warm fusion reactions this leads in part to relatively high yields from these reactions sup sup u sup sup v x n sup x sup uup there are strong indications that this reaction was performed in late as part of a uraniumiv fluoride target test at the gsi no reports have been published suggesting that no product atoms were detected as anticipated by the team sup sup am sup sup ca x n sup x sup uup x this reaction was first performed by the team in dubna in julyaugust in two separate runs they were able to detect atoms of sup sup uup and a single atom of sup sup uup the reaction was studied further in june in an attempt to isolate the descendant sup sup db from the sup sup uup sf decays were measured with a lifetime consistent with sup sup db in order to prove that the decays were from dubnium the team repeated the reaction in august and separated the and fractions and further separated the fractions into tantalumlike and niobiumlike ones five sf activities were observed all occurring in the fractions and none in the tantalumlike fractions proving that the product was indeed isotopes of dubnium in a series of experiments between october february scientists at the flnr studied this reaction at a range of excitation energies they were able to detect atoms of sup sup uup and one atom of sup sup uup from the n exit channel this latter result was used to support the synthesis of ununseptium the n excitation function was completed with a maximum at pb the data was consistent with that found in the first experiments in isotopes and nuclear properties chemical properties extrapolated chemical properties oxidation states the p series of chemical elements and the heaviest member of group va in the periodic table below bismuth in this group each member is known to portray the group oxidation state of v but with differing stability for nitrogen the v state is very difficult to achieve due to the lack of lowlying dorbitals and the inability of the small nitrogen atom to accommodate five ligands the v state is well represented for phosphorus arsenic and antimony however for bismuth it is rare due to the reluctance of the s sup sup electrons to participate in bonding this effect is known as the inert pair effect and is commonly linked to relativistic stabilisation of the sorbitals it is expected that ununpentium will continue this trend and portray only iii and i oxidation states nitrogeni and bismuthi are known but rare and ununpentiumi is likely to show some unique properties because of spinorbit coupling flerovium may display closedshell or noble gaslike properties if this is the case ununpentium will likely sup sup will have the same electron configuration as flerovium chemistry ununpentium should display ekabismuth chemical properties and should therefore form a sesquioxide uup sub sub oxygen stability all the reported above isotopes of element obtained by nuclear collisions of lighter nuclei are severely neutrondeficient because the proportion of neutrons to protons needed for maximum stability increases with atomic number the most stable isotope will probably be sup sup uup with neutrons a known magic closedshell number conferring exceptional stability making it with one further proton outside the magic number of protons both the chemical and the nuclear homolog of sup sup bi but the technology required to add the required neutrons presently does not exist this is because no known combination of target and projectile can result in the required neutrons it has been suggested that such a neutronrich isotope could be formed by quasifission fusion followed by fission of a massive nucleus multinucleon transfer reactions in collisions of actinide nuclei or this would depend on the stability of the parent nuclei towards spontaneous fission

 green anarchism or ecoanarchism is a school of thought within anarchism which puts a particular emphasis on environmental issues an important early influence was the thought of the american anarchist henry david thoreau and his book walden as well as leo tolstoy and lise reclus in the late th century there emerged anarchonaturism as the fusion of anarchism and naturist philosophies within individualist anarchist circles in france spain cuba and portugal important contemporary currents are anarchoprimitivism and social ecology early ecoanarchism henry david thoreau anarchism started to have an ecological view mainly in the writings of american anarchist and transcendentalist henry david thoreau in his book walden he advocates simple living and selfsufficiency among natural surroundings in resistance to the advancement of industrial civilization the work is part personal declaration of independence social experiment voyage of spiritual discovery satire and manual for selfreliance first published in it details thoreau s experiences over the course of two years two months walden pond amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor ralph waldo emerson near concord massachusetts the book compresses the time into a single calendar year and uses passages of four seasons to symbolize human development by immersing himself in nature thoreau hoped to gain a more objective understanding of society through personal introspection simple living and selfsufficiency were thoreau s other goals and the whole project was inspired by transcendentalist philosophy a central theme of the american romantic period as thoreau made clear in his book his cabin was not in wilderness but at the edge of town about two miles km from his family home a such many have seen in thoreau one of the precursors of ecologism and anarchoprimitivism represented today in john zerzan for george woodcock this attitude can be also motivated by certain idea of resistance to progress and of rejection of the growing materialism which is the nature of american society in the mid xix century john zerzan himself included the text excursions by against civilization readings and reflections from lise reclus lise reclus march july also known as jacques lise reclus was a renowned french geographer writer and anarchist he produced his volume masterwork la nouvelle gographie universelle la terre et les hommes universal geography over a period of nearly years in he was awarded the prestigious gold medal of the paris geographical society for this work despite his having been banished from france because of his political activism according to kirkpatrick sale for the authors of an anarchist faq reclus argued that a secret harmony exists between the earth and the people whom it nourishes and when imprudent societies let themselves violate this harmony they always end up regretting it similarly no contemporary ecologist would disagree with his comments that the truly civilised man and women understands that his or her nature is bound up with the interest of all and with that of nature and works to improve his domain reclus advocated nature conservation and opposed meateating and cruelty to animals he was a vegetarian as a result his ideas are seen by some historians as anticipating the modern social ecology and animal rights movements shortly before his death reclus completed lhomme et la terre in it he added to his previous greater works by considering humanity s development relative to its geographical environment reclus was also an early proponent of naturism anarchonaturism in the late th century anarchist naturism appeared as the union of anarchist and naturist philosophies mainly it had importance within individualist anarchist circles in spain france portugal and cuba anarchonaturism advocated vegetarianism free love nudism and an ecological world view within anarchist groups and outside them anarchonaturism promoted an ecological worldview small ecovillages and most prominently nudism as a way to avoid the artificiality of the industrial mass society of modernity naturist individualist anarchists saw the individual in his biological physical important promoters of this were henri zisly and emile gravelle who collaborated in la nouvelle humanit followed by le naturien le sauvage lordre naturel amp la vie naturelle france richard d sonn comments on the influence of naturist views in the wider french anarchist movement zisly s political activity primarily aimed at supporting a return to natural life through writing and practical involvement stimulated lively confrontations within and outside the anarchist environment zisly vividly criticized progress and civilization which he regarded as absurd ignoble and filthy he openly opposed industrialization arguing that machines were inherently authoritarian defended nudism advocated a nondogmatic and nonreligious adherence to the laws of nature recommended a lifestyle based on limited needs and selfsufficiency and disagreed with vegetarianism which he considered antiscientific cuba the historian kirwin r schaffer in his study of cuban anarchism anarchist movement alongside anarchocommunism and anarchosyndicalism naturism was a global alternative health and lifestyle movement naturists focused on redefining one s life to live simply eat cheap but nutritious vegetarian diets and raise one s own food if possible the countryside was posited as a romantic alternative to urban living and some naturists even promoted what they saw as the healthful benefits of nudism globally the naturist movement counted anarchists liberals and socialists as its followers however in cuba a particular anarchist dimension evolved led by people like adrin del valle who spearheaded the cuban effort to shift naturism s focus away from only individual health to naturism having a social emancipatory function schaffer reports the influence that anarchonaturism had outside naturists circles so for instance nothing inherently prevented an anarchosyndicalist in the havana restaurant workers union from supporting the alternative health care programs of the anarchonaturists and seeing those alternative practices as revolutionary anarchonaturists promoted a rural ideal simple living and being in harmony with nature as ways to besides promoting an early twentiethcentury backtotheland movement they used these romantic images of nature to illustrate how far removed a capitalist industrialized cuba had departed from an anarchist view of natural harmony the main propagandizer in cuba of anarchonaturism was the catalonia born adrin del valle aka palmiro de lidia over the following decades del valle became a constant presence in not only the anarchist press that proliferated in cuba but also mainstream literary publications from to he edited the freethinking journal el audaz then he began his largest publishing job by helping to found and edit the monthly alternative health magazine that followed the anarchonaturist line provida spain anarchonaturism was quite important at the end of the s in the spanish anarchist movement in france later important propagandists of anarchonaturism include henri zisly and mile gravelle whose ideas were important in individualist anarchist circles in spain where federico urales pseudonym of joan montseny promoted the ideas of gravelle and zisly in the relation between anarchism and naturism gives way to the naturist federation in july and to the lv spanish naturist congress in september both supported by the libertarian movement however in the short term the naturist and libertarian movements grew apart in their conceptions of everyday life the naturist movement felt closer to the libertarian individualism of some french theoreticians such as henri ner real name of han ryner than to the revolutionary goals proposed by some anarchist organisations such as the fai federacin anarquista ibrica this ecological tendency in spanish anarchism was strong enough as to call the attention of the cntfai in spain daniel gurin in anarchism from theory to practice reports isaac puente isaac puente was an influential spanish anarchist during the s and s and an important propagandist of anarchonaturism was a militant of both the cnt anarchosyndicalist trade union and iberian anarchist federation he published the book el comunismo libertario y otras proclamas insurreccionales y and other insurrectionary and naturist proclaims in which sold around copies and wrote the final document for the extraordinary confederal congress of zaragoza of which established the main political line for the cnt for that year puente was a doctor who approached his medical practice from a naturist point of view he saw naturism as an integral solution for the working classes alongside neomalthusianism and believed it concerned the living being while anarchism addressed the social being he believed capitalist societies endangered the wellbeing of humans from both a socioeconomic and sanitary viewpoint and promoted anarchocommunism alongside naturism as a solution other countries naturism also met anarchism in the united kingdom in many of the alternative communities established in britain in the early s nudism anarchism vegetarianism and free love were accepted as part of a politically radical way of life in the s the inhabitants of the anarchist community at whiteway near stroud in gloucestershire shocked the conservative residents of the area with their shameless the italian anarchist federation in carrara in a group decided to split off from this organization and created the gruppi di iniziativa anarchica in the seventies it was mostly composed of veteran individualist anarchists with an orientation of pacifism naturism etc american anarchosyndicalist sam dolgoff shows some of the criticism that some people on the other anarchist currents at the time had for anarchonaturist tendencies speaking of life at the stelton colony of new york in the s noted with disdain that it like other colonies was infested by vegetarians naturists nudists and other cultists who sidetracked true anarchist goals one resident always went barefoot ate raw food mostly nuts and raisins and refused to use a tractor being opposed to machinery and he did nt want to abuse horses so he dug the earth himself such selfproclaimed anarchists were in reality oxcart anarchists dolgoff said who opposed organization and wanted to return to a simpler life in an grumbled i am sick and tired of these halfassed artists and poets who object to organization and want only to play with their belly buttons leo tolstoy and tolstoyanism russian christian anarchist and anarchopacifist leo tolstoy is also recognized as an early influence in green anarchism the novelist was struck by the description of christian buddhist and hindu ascetic renunciation as being the path to holiness after reading passages such as the following which abound in schopenhauer s ethical chapters the russian nobleman chose poverty and formal denial of the will but this very necessity of involuntary suffering by poor people for eternal salvation is also expressed by that utterance of the savior matthew it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of god therefore those who were greatly in earnest about their eternal salvation chose voluntary poverty when fate had denied this to them and they had been born in but voluntarily took to the mendicant s staff and francis of assisi the founder of the mendicant orders who as a youngster at a ball where the daughters of all the notabilities were sitting together was asked now francis will you not soon make your choice from these beauties and who replied i have made a far more beautiful choice whom la poverta poverty whereupon he abandoned every thing shortly afterwards and wandered through the land as a mendicant despite his misgivings about anarchist violence tolstoy took risks to circulate the prohibited publications of anarchist thinkers in russia and corrected the proofs of kropotkin s words of a rebel illegally published in st petersburg in tolstoy was enthused by the economic thinking of henry george incorporating it approvingly into later works such as resurrection the book that played a major factor in his excommunication tolstoyans identify themselves as christians but do not generally belong to an simple life preferring to be vegetarian nonsmoking teetotal and chaste tolstoyans are considered christian pacifists and advocate nonresistance in all circumstances they do not support or participate in the government which they consider immoral violent and corrupt tolstoy rejected the state as it only exists on the basis of physical force and all institutions that are derived from it the police law courts and army tolstoy influenced mohandas karamchand gandhi who set up a cooperative colony called tolstoy farm near johannesburg south africa having been inspired by tolstoy s ideas the colony comprising acre was funded by the gandhian herman kallenbach and placed at the disposal of the satyagrahis from he also inspired similar communal experiments in the united states where the residents were also influenced by the views of henry george and edward bellamy as well as in russia england and the netherlands mid th century several anarchists from the midth century including herbert read ethel mannin leopold kohr and paul goodman s book bread and roses a utopian survey and blueprint has been described by anarchist historian robert graham as setting forth an ecological vision in opposition to the prevailing and destructive industrial organization of society leopold kohr leopold kohr october in oberndorf bei salzburg austria february in gloucester england was an economist philosopher and political scientist known both for his opposition to the cult of bigness in social organization and as one of those who initiated the small is beautiful movement for almost twenty years he was professor of economics and public administration at the university of puerto rico he described himself as a philosophical anarchist in kohr became a freelance correspondent during the spanish civil war where he was impressed by the limited selfcontained governments of the separatist states of catalonia and aragon as well as the small spanish anarchist city states of alcoy and caspe in his first published essay disunion now a plea for a society kohr wrote about a europe at war we have ridiculed the many little states now we are terrorized by their few successors he called for the breakup of europe into hundreds of city states kohr developed his ideas in a series of books including the breakdown of nations development without aid and the overdeveloped nations from leopold kohr s most popular work the breakdown of nations there seems to be only one cause behind all forms of social misery bigness oversimplified as this may seem we shall find the idea more easily acceptable if we consider that bigness or oversize is really much more than just a social problem it appears to be the one and only problem permeating all creation whenever something is wrong something is too big and if the body of a people becomes diseased with the fever of aggression not because it has fallen victim to bad leadership or mental derangement it is because human beings so charming as individuals or in small aggregations have been welded into overconcentrated social units later in his academic and writing career he protested the cult of bigness and economic growth and promoted the concept of human scale and small community life he argued that massive external aid to poorer nations stifled local initiatives and participation his vision called for a dissolution of centralized political and economic structures in favor of local control kohr was an important inspiration to the green bioregional fourth world decentralist and anarchist movements kohr contributed often to john papworth s journal for the fourth world resurgence one of kohr s students was economist e f schumacher another prominent influence on these movements whose best selling book small is beautiful took its title from one of kohr s core principles similarly his ideas inspired kirkpatrick sale s books human scale bioregional vision sale arranged the first american publication of the breakdown of nations in and wrote the foreword murray bookchin murray bookchin january july was an american libertarian socialist author orator and philosopher in murray bookchin defined himself as an anarchist seeing parallels between anarchism and ecology his first book our synthetic environment was published under the pseudonym lewis herber in a few months before rachel carson s silent spring the book described a broad range of environmental ills but received little attention because of its political radicalism his groundbreaking essay ecology and revolutionary thought introduced ecology as a concept in radical politics in he founded another group that published the influential anarchos magazine which published that and other innovative essays on postscarcity and on ecological technologies such as solar and wind energy and on decentralization and miniaturization lecturing of ecology to the counterculture postscarcity anarchism is a collection of essays written by murray bookchin and first published in by ramparts press it outlines the possible form anarchism might take under conditions of postscarcity it is one of bookchin s major works and its radical thesis provoked controversy for being utopian and messianic in its faith in the liberatory potential of technology bookchin argues that postindustrial societies are also postscarcity societies and can thus imagine the fulfillment of the social and cultural potentialities latent in a technology of abundance the selfadministration of society is now made possible by technological advancement and when technology is used in an ecologically sensitive manner the revolutionary potential of society will be much changed in his book the ecology of freedom had a profound impact on the emerging ecology movement both in the united states and abroad he was a principal figure in the burlington greens in an ecology group that ran candidates for city council on a program to cities originally published in as the rise of urbanization and the decline of citizenship bookchin traced the democratic traditions that influenced his political philosophy and defined the implementation of the libertarian municipalism concept a few years later the politics of social ecology written by his partner of years janet biehl briefly summarized these ideas jacques ellul jacques ellul january may was a french philosopher law professor sociologist lay theologian and christian anarchist he wrote several books about christianity the technological society propaganda and the interaction between religion and politics professor of history and the sociology of institutions on the faculty of law and economic sciences at the university of bordeaux he authored books and more than a thousand articles over his lifetime in all the dominant theme of which has been the threat to human freedom and religion created by modern technique the ellulian concept of technique is the technological society what many consider to be ellul s most important work the technological society was originally titled la technique lenjeu du sicle literally the stake of the century in it ellul set forth seven characteristics of modern technology that make efficiency a necessity rationality artificiality automatism of technical choice selfaugmentation monism universalism and autonomy for ellul the rationality of technique enforces logical and mechanical organization through division of labor the setting of production standards etc and it creates an artificial system which eliminates or subordinates the natural world today he argues the technological society is generally held sacred cf saint steve jobs since he defines technique as the totality of methods rationally arrived at and having absolute efficiency for a given stage of development in every field of human activity it is clear that his sociological analysis focuses not on the society efficient techniques contemporary developments notable contemporary writers espousing green anarchism include derrick jensen jaime semprun george draffan john zerzan starhawk and alan carter social ecology and communalism social ecology is closely related to the work and ideas of murray bookchin and influenced by anarchist peter kropotkin social ecologists assert that the present ecological crisis has its roots in human social problems and that the domination of humanovernature stems from the domination of humanoverhuman bookchin later developed a political philosophy to complement social ecology which he called communalism spelled with a capital c to differentiate it from other forms of communalism while originally conceived as a form of social anarchism he later developed communalism into a separate ideology which incorporates what he saw as the most beneficial elements of anarchism marxism syndicalism and radical ecology politically communalists advocate a network of directly democratic citizens assemblies in individual communitiescities organized in a confederal fashion this method used to achieve this is called libertarian municipalism which involves the establishment of with the goal of eventually replacing the nationstate janet biehl born is a writer associated with social ecology the body of ideas developed and publicized by murray bookchin in she attended the institute for social ecology and there began a collaborative relationship with bookchin working intensively with him over the next two decades in the explication of social ecology from their shared home in burlington vermont from to she and bookchin cowrote and copublished the theoretical newsletter green perspectives later renamed left green perspectives she is the editor and compiler of the murray bookchin reader the author of the politics of social ecology libertarian municipalism and rethinking ecofeminist politics and coauthor with peter staudenmaier of ecofascism lessons from the german experience green anarchist the magazine the principal voice in the uk advocating green anarchism an explicit fusion of libertarian socialist and ecological thinking founded after the stop the city protests the magazine was launched in the summer of that year by an editorial collective consisting of alan albon richard hunt and marcus christo early issues featured a range of broadly anarchist and ecological ideas bringing together groups and individuals as varied as class war veteran anarchist writer colin ward anarchopunk band crass as well as the peace convoy antinuclear campaigners animal rights activists and so on however the diversity that many saw as the publication s greatest strength quickly led to irreconcilable arguments between the essentially pacifist approach of albon and christo and the advocacy of violent confrontation with the state favoured by hunt during the s green anarchist came under the helm of an editorial collective that included paul rogers steve booth and others during which period the publication became increasingly aligned with primitivism an anticivilization philosophy advocated by writers such as john hampshire police began a series of at least raids code named operation washington that eventually resulted in the august to november portsmouth trial of green anarchist editors booth saxon wood noel molland and paul rogers as well as animal liberation front alf press officer robin webb and animal liberation front supporters group alfsg newsletter editor simon russell the defendants organised the gandalf defence campaign three of the editors of green anarchist noel molland saxon wood and booth were jailed for conspiracy to incite however all three were shortly afterwards released on appeal fredy perlman fredy perlman august july was a czechborn naturalised american author publisher and militant his most popular work the book against hisstory against leviathan details the rise of state domination with a retelling of history through the hobbesian metaphor of the leviathan the book remains a major source of inspiration for anticivilization of philosopher john zerzan anarchoprimitivism anarchoprimitivism is an anarchist critique of the origins and progress of civilization according to anarchoprimitivism the shift from huntergatherer to agricultural subsistence gave rise to social stratification coercion and alienation anarchoprimitivists advocate a return to non civilized ways of life through deindustrialisation abolition of the division of labour or specialization and abandonment of largescale organization technologies there are other nonanarchist forms of primitivism and not all primitivists point to the same phenomenon as the source of modern civilized problems anarchoprimitivists are often distinguished by their focus on the praxis of achieving a feral state of being through rewilding john zerzan john zerzan is an american anarchist and primitivist philosopher and author his works criticize agricultural civilization as inherently oppressive and advocate drawing upon the ways of life of hunter gatherers as an inspiration for what a free society should look like some subjects of his criticism include domestication language symbolic thought such as mathematics and art and the concept of time refusal future primitive and other essays running on emptiness against civilization readings and reflections and twilight of the machines zerzan was one of the editors of green anarchy a controversial

journal zerzan became intimately involved with the fifth estate anarchy a journal of desire armed demolition derby and other anarchist periodicals he began to question civilization in the early s after having sought to confront issues around the neutrality of technology and division of labour at the time when fredy perlman was making similar conclusions green anarchy green anarchy was a magazine published by a collective located in eugene oregon the magazine s focus was primitivism postleft anarchy radical environmentalism african american struggles anarchist resistance indigenous resistance earth and animal liberation anticapitalism and supporting political prisoners it had a circulation of partly in prisons the prison subscribers given free copies of each issue as stated in

john zerzan was one of the publication s editors species traitor species traitor is a sporadically published journal of insurrectionary anarchoprimitivism it is printed as a project of black and green network and edited by anarchoprimitivist writer kevin tucker st was initially labeled as a project of the coalition against civilization cac and the black and green network bag the cac was started towards the end of in the aftermath of the massive street protests in eugene reclaim the streets and in seattle wto of that year that aftermath gave a new voice and standing for green anarchist and anarchoprimitivist writers and viewpoints within both the anarchist milieu and the culture at large the first issue came out in winter of currently out of print and contained a mix of reprints and some original articles from derrick jensen and john zerzan among others issue two came in the following year step from the first issue in becoming something of its own rather than another mouthpiece of green anarchist rhetoric the articles took a more in depth direction opening a more analytical and critical draw between anarchy and anthropology attacks on reason and the progresslinear views of human history and future that stand at the base of the ideology of civilization vegan anarchism veganarchism or vegan anarchism is the political philosophy of veganism more specifically animal liberation and earth liberation and anarchism creating a combined praxis that is designed to be a means for social revolution this encompasses viewing the state as unnecessary and harmful to animals both human and nonhuman whilst practising a vegan lifestyle it is either perceived as a combined theory or that both philosophies are essentially the same it is further described as an antispeciesist perspective on green anarchism or an anarchist perspective on animal liberation veganarchists typically view oppressive dynamics within society to be interconnected from statism racism and sexism to human supremacy and redefine veganism as a those who believe in veganarchy can be either against reform for animals or for it although do not limit goals to changes within the law derrick jensen derrick jensen is an american author and environmental activist and critic of mainstream environmentalism living in crescent city california jensen s work is sometimes characterized as anarchoprimitivist although he has categorically rejected that label describing primitivist as a racist way to describe indigenous peoples he prefers to be called indigenist or an ally to the indigenous because indigenous peoples have had the only sustainable human social organizations and we need to recognize that we colonizers are all living on stolen land a language older than words uses the lens of domestic violence to look at the larger violence of western culture the culture of make believe begins by exploring racism and misogyny and moves to examine how this cultures economic system leads inevitably to hatred and atrocity strangely like war is about deforestation it begins as is true for most people i know ive always loved learning as is also true for most people i know i always hated school why is that welcome to the machine is about surveillance and more broadly about science and what he perceives to be a western obsession with control resistance against empire

editor of the nonproliferation review on nukes alfred mccoy politics and heroin christian parenti the us prison system katherine albrecht on rfid and robert mcchesney on freedom of the media conducted between and endgame is about what he describes he asks do you believe that this culture will undergo a voluntary transformation to a sane and sustainable way of living nearly everyone he talks to says no his next question is how would this understanding that this culture will not voluntarily stop destroying the natural world eliminating indigenous cultures exploiting the poor and killing those who resist shift our strategy and tactics the answer nobody knows because we never talk about it were too busy pretending the culture will undergo a magical transformation endgame he says is about that shift in strategy and in tactics jensen cowrote the book deep green resistance strategy to save the planet with lierre keith and aric mcbay crimethinc crimethinc is a decentralized anarchist

different points possibly indicating it is possible that parish linear measurements used in england were used on colonial maps to measure distances in chains in england according to a british and welsh booklet designating linear measurements parish maps used a rule of chains to the inch in using that parish rule on an early map of colonial south carolina chains on a map would probably cover approximately inches the map distance from saxe gotha modern lexington sc to ninetysix using the same measurements for the distance from ninetysix to the savannah river the measurement would be approximately inches or chains hence even so the origin of the name ninetysix likely remains a mystery history ninety six was established on the frontier in the early th century it was known for a

 yeshivish refers to a sociolect of english spoken by yeshiva students and other jews with a strong connection to the orthodox yeshiva world research only a few serious studies have been written about yeshivish the first is a master s thesis by steven ray goldfarb university of texas at el paso called a sampling of lexical items in yeshiva english the work lists defines and provides examples for nearly yeshivish words and phrases the second more comprehensive work is frumspeak the first dictionary of yeshivish by chaim weiser weiser maintains that yeshivish is not a pidgin creole or an independent language nor is it precisely a jargon he refers to it instead with tongueincheek as a shprach a yiddish word meaning language or rapport baumel following weiser notes that yeshivish differs from english in three ways katz describes it in words on fire the unfinished of english which is taking over as the vernacular in everyday life in some circles in america and elsewhere heilman and others consider codeswitching a part of yeshivish though kaye would exclude englishspeakers in the context of a yeshiva studying the talmud from codeswitching where he considers the terms yiddish english or yiddishized english yinglish may be more appropriate relation to other languages english the english variant of yeshivish consists of grammatical irregularities borrowed from yiddish and a vocabulary consisting of yiddish rabbinic hebrew talmudic aramaic and sometimes modern hebrew the speaker will use those terms instead of their english counterpart either because of cultural affinity or lack of the appropriate english term yiddish the yiddish variant of yeshivish is questionable as a definition in itself since the grammar remains identical to that of yiddish it may be argued that the yiddish variant of yeshivish is a new phenomenon and consists of less germanic terms and more aramaic on the secular and cultural variants of yiddish and may be attributed to the fact that yivo the forerunner of yiddish as an academic study was founded by secular jews who themselves were unlikely to be educated in yeshivas and also removed by one or more generations from yeshivaeducated speakers however the yeshivish dialect of yiddish has existed for quite a few centuries among yeshivaeducated jews in eastern and central europe however as a result of the holocaust world war ii and immigration the secularspeaking yiddish community is very small and is far outnumbered by religious yiddishspeaking communities in new york antwerp jerusalem bnei beraq london and others making the predominant contemporary yiddish dialect that of the yeshivish variant hebrew the yeshivish dialect of hebrew consists of occasional ashkenazic pronunciation and various yiddishisms within modern hebrew spoken among haredi communities in israel while many terms from the talmud and mishna exist in modern hebrew their pronunciation is in line with modern hebrew whereas in the yeshivish variant they maintain present in yeshivish hebrew these are not distinct to the yeshivish dialect and can be found in mainstream modern hebrew as well patterns of usage yeshivish is primarily a male spoken dialect fathers and sons particularly of teenage years and above might speak yeshivish while mothers and daughters generally do not or they speak a milder variety of it this can be explained as much of the yeshivish lexicon is learnt in yeshivot where the studying takes place using a specialist nomenclature familiarity with these terms develops and they are then reapplied to other situations there is a higher incidence of yeshivish being spoken amongst orthodox jews that are regularly involved in torah study or belong to a community that promotes its study commonly used platitudes amongst orthodox jews are frequently expressed with their yeshivish equivalent examples include substituting shkoikh for thank you a contraction from the hebrew yashar koach which literally translates as may your strength be firm and is used to indicate to someone that they have done a sometimes written as b h meaning blessed is the name of god yeshivish dialogue may include many expressions that refer to god or hashem neophyte orthodox jews might overcompensate in their efforts to assimilate to the community s parlance and speak a stilted artificial form of yeshivish words might be used in an incorrect context and pronounced in an unusual manner another tendency of baalei teshuva is to cite excessive godly references in their speech some observers predict that the english variant of yeshivish may develop further to the point that it could become one of the historical judeohybrid languages like yiddish ladino or judeoarabic the judeohybrid languages were spoken dialects which mixed elements of the local vernacular hebrew aramaic and jewish religious idioms as yiddish was to middle high german yeshivish may be to standard american english however the integration of modernday jews with nonjews may keep their speech from diverging as far from the standard language as it did in the past distinct features vocabulary the vocabulary and grammatical native language see above although it includes scholarly jargon primarily from the talmud and acharonim in yiddish hebrew and aramaic in many sentences however the grammatical and lexical features of the speaker s native language is slight and sometimes even lacking altogether a distinguishing feature of yeshivish is that its speakers knowingly apply highly technical and literal written language to a colloquial language and in common day usage similar to modern hebrew for example he caused a lot of nezek but lbasoif was moideh bmiktzas and claimed he was shoigeg nezek in its original context refers to the talmudic notion of tort law lbasoif means eventually moideh bmiktzas refers to partial confession of a defendant and shoigeg in its original context means an incident which was caused unwillingly but was a result of partial negligence despite its heavy borrowing of technical and legal terms the above sentence would be understood clearly by speakers of eventually admitted that he did it although he claimed it was inadvertent note in the above example that shoigeg does not have the same meaning in yeshivish as it does in its original context wherein it implies negligence oines would be the correct technical term but it may be argued that there is less preference for oines in yeshivish due to its meaning in modern hebrew of rape phonology the yeshivish accent has similarities to various accents of eastern european and new york backgrounds one notable feature of yeshivish is the frequency of occurrence of the phoneme x common in many words of hebrew aramaic and yiddish origin t may be released when in general american it would be flapped or unreleased final stops may devoice and prenasal may not raise discourse and prosody yeshivish may use a chanting intonation for reading and discussing jewish texts a number of other distinctive intonations are also used for instance a click is used borrowed from israeli hebrew but sometimes it s more click i do nt know how to explain it yeshivish has some unique interjections for instance oh and psshhhh may be used as praise markers grammar morphology loan words are often given plurals using standard english morphology for instance the plural of yeshiva is yeshivas rather than yeshivois as in ashkenazi hebrew although this is similar to the plural form in yiddish hebrew nouns ending in us are pluralized with the suffix in rather than replacing us with uyois as in ashkenazi hebrew eg shlichus shlichusin mission and mashmaus mashmausin implication this likely comes from the yiddish plural marker n although it could also loan verbs may also conjugate with standard english patterns for example yiddish derived daven pray may become davening or davened eg i already davened mincha and quiet i m davening syntax and semantics some verbs particularly those of hebrew origin are often treated as participles and inflected by english auxiliary verbs in the same way that periphrastic verbs are constructed in yiddish for example he was takeh moideh that he was wrong he admitted that he was takeh indeed actually wrong he was puts moideh to admit into the thirdperson singular past tense we ll always be soimech on rav plony s psak that the eruv is kosher we ll always rely upon rabbi soandso s ruling that the eruv is usable we ll always be rely into the firstperson plural future tense there are a number of phrasal verbs calqued from yiddish for instance bring down and tell over recount retell a story modals may be used differently than in standard english eg i want that you should get her number there are a number of differences between the use of prepositions in yeshivish and standard english the preposition by has a wide array of meanings in yeshivish are you eating by rabbi fischer at the house of by chabad it s different with among a possible cause for this is that the yiddish preposition bei defines as at beside or by the similar sounding english preposition by has come to encompass these meanings prepositions are often dropped her bus gets in years

established posa films in with two partners cantinflas and fernandez before this reachi producedshort films that allowed him to develop the cantinflas character but it was in that he finally became a movie star after shooting ah est el detalle there s the rub literally there lies the detail with sofa lvarez joaqun pardav sara garca and dolores camarillo the phrase that gave that movie its name became a cantinflas or catchphrase for the remainder of his career the film was a breakthrough in latin america and was later recognized by somos magazine as the th greatest film produced largely in mexico in moreno first el gendarme desconocido the unknown police officer a play on words on the unknown soldier by this time he had sufficiently distinguished the peladito character from the sera pelado and his character flowed comfortably from the disenfranchised marginalized underclassman to the empowered public servant the rhetoric of cantinflismo facilitated this fluidity he would reprise the role of agent and be honored by police forces throughout latin america for his positive portrayal of law enforcement ni sangre ni arena neither blood nor sand a play on words on the bullfightergladiator phrase blood and sand film the s and s were cantinflas heyday in he rejected mexican film companies and instead signed with columbia pictures by this time his popularity was such that he was able to lend his prestige to the cause of mexican labor representing the national association of actors in talks with president of his theatrical work yo coln i columbus in the teatro de los insurgentes the same theatre that had earlier been embroiled in a controversy over a diego rivera mural incorporating cantinflas and the virgin of guadalupe critics including the pan and archbishop luis mara martnez called the mural blasphemous and it was eventually painted without the image of the virgin yo coln placed cantinflas in the character of christopher columbus who while continually discovering america made comical historical and contemporary observations from fresh perspectives the jokes changed nightly and moreno continued to employ his word games and double entendres to jab at politicians in around the world in eighty days cantinflas american debut earned him a golden globe for best actor in a musical or comedy variety magazine said in that his chaplinesque quality made a big contribution to the success of the film the film ultimately made an unadjusted million dollars while david niven was billed as the lead in englishspeaking nations cantinflas was billed as the lead elsewhere as a result of the film cantinflas became the world s best paid actor moreno s second hollywood feature pepe attempted to replicate the success of his first the film had cameo appearances by frank sinatra judy garland and other stars his humor deeply rooted in the spanish language did not translate well for the american audience and the movie was a notorious box office disappointment he still earned a golden globe nomination for his part later in a american interview moreno cited the language barrier as the biggest impediment to his making it big in the united states after returning to mexico cantinflas starred in the comic drama el bolero de raquel the first cantinflas film to be distributed to the united states by columbia pictures the film was followed by three more toolong productions el padrecito and su excelencia after su excelencia cantinflas began to appear in a series of lowbudget comedies also directed by miguel m delgado which were produced by his own company cantinflas films these films lasted until el barrendero in like charlie chaplin cantinflas was a social satirist he played el pelado an impoverished everyman with hopes to succeed with mutual admiration cantinflas was influenced by chaplin s earlier films and ideology el circo the circus was a shadow of chaplin s silent film the circus and si yo fuera diputado if i were a congressman had many similarities with the film the great dictator cantinflas films to this day still generate revenue for columbia pictures in columbia reported in an cultural impact among the things that endeared him to his public was his comic use of language in his films his characters all of which were really variations of the main cantinflas persona but cast in different social roles and circumstances would strike up a normal conversation and then complicate it to the point where no one understood what they were talking about the cantinflas character was particularly adept at obfuscating the conversation when he owed somebody money was courting an attractive young woman or was trying to talk his way out of trouble with authorities whom he managed to humiliate without their even being able to tell this manner of talking became known as cantinflada and it became common parlance for spanish speakers to say ests cantinfleando loosely translated as you re pulling a cantinflas or you re cantinflassing whenever someone became hard to understand in conversation the real academia espaola officially included the verb cantinflear cantinflas dictionary in in the visual arts mexican artists such as rufino tamayo and diego rivera painted cantinflas as a symbol of the mexican everyman the american electronic dance music band mindless self indulgence

chicano movement during the ss in the united states the most important of which was el teatro campesino the teatro movement was an important part of the cultural renaissance that was the social counterpart of the political movement for the civil rights of mexican americans cantinflas use of social themes and style is seen as a precursor to chicano theater a cartoon series the cantinflas show

educational parodies of some of his famous movies like su excelencia la carta with incidental music from aaron copeland s el salon mexico in the second version his character was known as little amigo

the lyrics cantinflas was a body rocker in it critical response cantinflas is sometimes seen as a mexican groucho marx character one who uses his skill with words to puncture the pretensions of the wealthy and powerful the police and the government historian and author of cantinflas and the chaos of mexican modernity writes cantinflas symbolized the underdog who triumphed through trickery over more powerful opponents and presents cantinflas as a selfimage of a transitional mexico gregorio luke executive director of the museum of latin american art said to understand cantinflas is to understand what happened in mexico during the last century monsivis interprets spoken word in the context of mexico s reigning illiteracy in particularly in the film el analfabeto the illiterate cantinflas is the illiterate who takes control of the language by whatever means he can the journalist salvador novo interprets the role of moreno s character entirely in terms of cantinflismo en

court palace the river gives its name to the surrey district of mole valley the mole crosses the north downs between dorking and leatherhead where it cuts a steepsided valley known as the mole gap through the chalk much of the catchment area lies on impermeable rock including wealden clay and london clay meaning that the river level responds rapidly to heavy rainfall during the second half of the th century pollution levels in the river were high however since the water quality has improved dramatically and the mole now boasts the greatest diversity of fish species of any river in england twelve sites of special scientific interest sssis that include wetland habitats are located within the mole catchment area and the stretch of river through leatherhead has been designated a local

become dry between dorking and leatherhead most recently during the drought in john speed s map of surrey this stretch of the river is denoted by a series of hills accompanied by the legend the river runneth under however the river s name is unlikely to have derived from this behaviour the oxford dictionary of english place names suggests that mole either comes from the latin mola a mill or is a

heavily wooded slopes of leith hill which include squire s great wood and abinger forest as well as areas of wotton westcott and dorking mole gap between dorking and leatherhead the mole cuts a steepsided valley the mole gap though the north downs western flank of box hill and a smaller m cliff at ham bank in norbury park the sudden change from impermeable wealden clay to permeable chalk and the increased gradient of the river which drops m in the six mile km stretch between brockham and leatherhead compared to m in mi between horley and brockham allow the water table to drop below the bed of the river water is able to flow out of the river through swallow holes in the bed and banks decreasing the volume of water carried in the main channel the course of the river through norbury park was partially straightened when the epsom to horsham railway was built in with the removal of a small meander north of westhumble the meander was reinstated in in an attempt to enhance this area of the park although it has since become blocked by silt the entirety of the mole gap lies within the surrey hills area of outstanding natural beauty lower mole at leatherhead flow across impermeable london clay winding towards cobham the water table rises at this point and much of the water which drained out of the channel through the chalk returns through springs in the riverbed the aquifer at fetcham is the only one in the entire catchment area the next major tributary the rye which drains ashtead joins to the north of leatherhead before the river is crossed by the m motorway at cobham the river swings round in a pronounced axehead meander skirting painshill landscape garden where a ft diameter waterwheel raises water m from the river to feed the ornamental lake in the park ref the undershot wheel at painshill park was restored in and is located at the end of an artificial leat rather than on the main river channel from painshill park the river flows northeastwards to the thames passing to the west of esher commons and then forming the boundary between hersham and esher where the mean flow of the river is ms cufts in response september the river was modified downstream of albany bridge to the thames and new flood defences were constructed finally the mole splits into two branches at the island barn reservoir near molesey the northern and smaller branch continues as the river mole and the southern branch is known as the river ember the two rivers flow either side of the reservoir before running side by side in a north easterly direction merging m before the confluence with the river thames on the reach above teddington lock for the purposes of the remainder of this article the river mole and the river ember are treated as a single entity prior to the last ice age the river thames followed a more northerly route to the north sea from reading via marlow chorleywood st albans hertford and along the present suffolkessex border during this period the mole is thought to have merged with the river wey near byfleet and then flowed in a northeasterly direction via richmond to meet the and wey are less than km mi apart at their closest point near painshill park during the middle pleistocene period ref the middle pleistocene period was ca years ago a large ice sheet built up across much of the east of england reaching as far south as st albans and chelmsford blocking the path of the protothames glacial meltwater from the anglian ice sheet caused the thames to divert southwards and flood the valley of the molewey river thus adopting its present route through london ecology water quality the water quality of the watercourses in the river mole catchment area has improved dramatically since the s in the environment agency assessed only of the watercourses as grade b good or better but by had reached this standard investment in the sewage treatment works within the catchment area has improved the quality of the discharges into the river and modifications to the runway and apron drainage systems at gatwick airport means that surface water is diverted to aerated pollution released into the river there have been a number of high profile pollution incidents of the river in recent years in gatwick airport ltd pleaded guilty to charges of allowing chemical pollution to enter the river mole after a detergent used to clean rubber and oil from the runway was washed into crawters brook by airport workers the environment agency estimated that up to fish of different species were killed as the pollution spread downstream the airport was fined by lewes crown court in may sewage leaking from a pump operated by thames water leaked into the stanford brook killing a number of coarse fish in the gatwick stream biodiversity the marsh frog pelophylax ridibundus a nonnative species introduced from europe in the s is now commonly found in the upper mole and its tributaries around newdigate and gatwick there is no evidence that the presence of the frogs has had a deleterious effect on indigenous amphibians a second nonnative species the edible frog to a site at newdigate in the early s it has in been recorded in tributaries of the river mole at capel and brockham the river mole has the most diverse fish population of any river in england the gatwick stream is dominated by coarse fish such as brown trout brook lamprey and eel in the upper river mole near meath green lane salfords was enhanced to create a gravel spawning area to encourage chub and dace in addition to roach in zander a nonindigenous coarse fish native to europe were introduced legally to old bury hill lake which supplies the pipp brook zander have been caught in the lower mole below dorking since the s in the mole gap between dorking and leatherhead the river supports populations of chub dace barbel brown trout both barbel and brown trout are extremely sensitive to water quality and pollution below leatherhead the river has historically supported larger predatory fish including chub perch pike and eels however in north of esher the old river channel is dominated by floating pennywort a highly invasive weed which cuts off all light to the river bed reducing oxygen levels and resulting in a poor habitat for fish the ember flood relief channel has a diverse fish population including chub dace roach bleak large pike and barbel at the confluence of the mole and the river thames at hampton court palace it is possible to catch a wide variety of coarse fish species the geographical distribution of many species of invertebrate in the river reflects the geology of the catchment area viviparid snails and water scorpions of the genus nepidae are commonly found where the river runs over the london clay crayfish are common in areas associated with high alkalinity particularly around brockham and the tributaries which run over the wealden clay provide an excellent habitat for stoneflies caddisflies fast swimming mayflies and riffle beetles the beautiful demoiselle calopteryx virgo disappeared from the river but has since recolonised the whitelegged damselfly platycnemis pennipes is also found along the river and the downy emerald cordulia aenea is found between box hill and leatherhead the mole is one of only three locations in england where the river shingle beetle meotica anglica is found a nationally scarce species which is locally common on the river mole is the greater dodder cuscuta europaea conservation the mole catchment area includes twelve sites of special scientific interest sssis which include wetland habitats and the stretch of river through leatherhead has been designated a local nature reserve the mole gap forms part of a special area of conservation and is an sssi of european importance the stretch of river between thorncroft manor km south of leatherhead and river lane in fetcham has been designated a local nature reserve although much of the surrounding land has been taken by residential and commercial development this section of the mole species of dragonfly the geology of the local area is complex since the river leaves the chalk of the mole gap at this point and flows over gravel and clay creating a patchwork of different habitats including scrub woodland hedges banks and meadows as well as the water itself the river also provides a corridor for wildlife through the centre of leatherhead the west end common forms part of the esher commons owned and managed by elmbridge borough council the river mole forms the western boundary of the common flowing past a steep sandy area known locally as the ledges plant species typical of ancient woodland are found in this area including bluebells hyacinthoides nonscriptus marsh marigolds caltha palustris and golden saxifrages chrysosplenium sp large bittercress cardamine amara and the nonnative himalayan balsam impatiens glandulifera are also found along on the west bank of the mole west of the island barn

brickearth deposits are common in the valley around betchworth and east of dorking the upper mole catchment is dominated by a single broad terrace which runs continuously from the entry to the meath green near horley the terrace corresponds to the flood plain of the river however from this point downstream to brockham the river cuts a narrow trench no more than m wide a similar trench is runs up several of the mole s tributaries notably along deanoak brook which follows a local strike the presence of the trench protects the land from flooding rendering it suitable for agriculture mole gap span geology span between dorking and leatherhead the mole cuts a steepsided valley through the north downs creating a m high river cliff on the western flank of box hill the bedrock is permeable chalk and the water table lies permanently below the level of the riverbed allowing water to drain out of the river through swallow holes in the bed and banks the amount of water lost from the river is significant and in very hot summers the channel can become dry between mickleham and thorncroft manor this was recorded most recently in and at leatherhead the at this point that the water table rises enough for the water to flow back into the main river channel in a survey in the geologist cc fagg identified active swallow holes between dorking and mickleham most were only a few centimetres in diameter and were located in the vertical banks of the river below the water line most holes were difficult to observe in times of normal or heavy flow and were susceptible to silting up as new holes were continually being formed a few much larger swallow holes were also observed separated from the main river by a channel of about a metre about six of these larger swallow holes were found to the west of the burford bridge hotel along the course of the a mickleham bypass during its construction in initially the surveyors tried to fill the holes with rubble to prevent the foundations of the new road subsiding however this proved to be impractical and they were instead covered by concrete domes up to m in diameter each fully supported access shaft to allow periodic inspection in the late s the domes were reopened and inspected and the alluvium in the largest swallow hole was observed to have subsided by under the centre of one of the domes when the dorking to leatherhead railway was constructed in a fossilised swallow hole was discovered in the cutting at the south end of box hill and westhumble railway station suggesting that even in its early history the river had swallow holes the author daniel defoe who attended school in dorking and probably grew up in the village of westhumble described the swallow holes in the river mole in his book a tour thro the whole island of great britain first published in the current of the river being much obstructed by the interposition of those hills called box hill it forces the waters as it were to find their way through as well as they can and in order to do this beginning i say where the boxhill called the stomacher the waters sink insensibly away and in some places are to be seen and i have seen them little channels which go out on the sides of the river where the water in a stream not so big as would fill a pipe of a quarter of an inch diameter trills away out of the river and sinks insensibly into the ground in this manner it goes away lessening the stream for above a mile near two and these they call the swallows not all of the water removed from the river by the swallow holes is returned to the channel at leatherhead the chalk aquifer also feeds the springs at the southern end of fetcham mill pond which have never been known to run dry a survey in march estimated that the fetcham springs were producing about million gallons of water m sup sup every day a second survey in estimated that the same springs were yielding about million gallons day the water table in the chalk of the wey gap is significantly higher than might be expected from natural rainwater percolation alone it has been suggested that a proportion of the excess water originates from the mole gap lower mole span geology span at leatherhead the river leaves the chalk bedrock moving onto london clay the river meanders across an alluvial plain between and m wide towards cobham where it begins to descend to a lower flood plain which in turn broadens to the axehead meander at painshill park at the east end of painshill park the lower flood plain abruptly narrows to form a narrow trench about m wide in which the river runs northwards for km mi towards hersham where the river enters the flood plain of the river thames there are a series of gravel deposits laid down by the river above the london clay between cobham waltononthames and esher the depth of the deposits generally varies from mft sigfig to mft sigfig and the lower iron oxide whilst the upper layers are loosely packed with angular flints and sand remains of a further gravel terrace containing both cherts and flints to a depth of mft sigfig are located along the side of st george s hill history etymology the river is first recorded in the red book of thorney in ad as emen and in the ad cartulary of the abbey of eynsham as both emen and men variations in the name are recorded throughout the middle ages and the river appears as amele in domesday book and subsequently as emele in th and th century court rolls this name is probably derived from the old english word men meaning misty or causing mists and the name of the river ember probably has its origins in this name ref the prefix of the referred to as emley bridge in some th century records probably also has its origins in the old english word men the name mole does not appear until the th century first occurring as moule in harrison s description of britain of the antiquarian william camden uses the latinized form molis in the edition of britannia and michael drayton is the first to use mole in his poem polyolbion published in in john speed s map of surrey this stretch of the river is denoted by a series of hills accompanied by the legend the river runneth under however the river s name is unlikely to have derived from this behaviour the oxford dictionary of english place names suggests that mole either comes from the latin mola a mill or is a backformation from in john rocque s map of surrey the name moulsey river is used archaeology in common with much of the rest of the weald the earliest evidence of human settlement along the upper mole is from the mesolithic period bc mesolithic sites at wonham flanchford and sidlow finds at wonham include arrowheads and a planoconvex knife the lower mole appears to have been settled during the same period and a flint axe dating from mesolithic period found on spit of land close to river mole in cobham in remains of a flatbottomed dugout canoe were found at the confluence of the mole and thames in by a local boatman the canoe is preserved at the pitt rivers museum in oxford the mole gap and north downs do not appear to have been settled until the late stone age a large axe typical of a roughout axe produced during the neolithic period which was discovered in during building work in westhumble at east horsley along with neolithic flakes of flint at fetcham and headley heath significant bronze age finds include a bronze sword found close to the river north of amberley farm near charlwood and a small hoard of weaponry consisting of two palstave axes and a scabbard chape was discovered in in norbury park close to ham bank navigation it is not clear to what extent the mole was used for navigation in the past in the late th century thorncroft manor south of leatherhead purchased a shout a type of boat up to m in length used to carry produce to market and it has been suggested that stone cut from quarries in reigate was transported to london via the river during the th century two bills came before parliament to make sections of the river navigable the first in was passed by the house of commons but was defeated in the house of lords during the following year an act was passed by from reigate to the river thames but was never executed the only surrey river to have been made fully navigable is the river wey in william marshall advocated the canalisation of a short stretch of the river mole between betchworth and dorking to facilitate the movement of chalk from quarry to market in the engineer john rennie proposed a canal linking the river medway to portsmouth which was to have a branch to london following the mole for much of its length between and the architect and civil engineer nicholas wilcox cundy proposed a grand imperial ship canal from deptford to chichester passing through the mole gap however he was unable to attract sufficient financial interest in his scheme today the mole is navigable for the m from the confluence with the river thames to molember weir at east molesey where there is a private mooring facility the river may be paddled all year by canoe between brockham and fetcham with an appropriate licence from the british canoe union world war ii defences during the mole were fortified for the defence of london against invasion from the south ghq line b ran along the north downs from farnham and guildford crossing the mole gap to the north of dorking and following the river to horley between betchworth and box hill the north bank of the river mole was stabilised and made steeper to prevent wheeled vehicles from crossing at boxhill farm where access to the river from the north bank was required for the herd of dairy cows a row of twelve concrete cylinders were cast as an antitank measure gun mounts were also installed to protect both boxhill and deepdene bridges and several pillboxes were installed an antitank ditch was dug from the stepping stones eastwards across the fields belonging to bradley farm now denbies vineyard the river crossing at sidlow bridge was heavily defended and a line of pill boxes was constructed on the north bank of the river concrete antitank dragon s teeth were built on both sides of the river a short distance upstream of the bridge the mole mole gap the north downs way crosses the river at box hill via seventeen hexagonal stepping stones which are frequently submerged after heavy rainfall the current stones were dedicated in september by the then prime minister clement attlee replacing those destroyed during ww as an antiinvasion measure the location is popular both with anglers and families although swimming is strongly discouraged as the water is polluted in places the stones give their name to the pub in the nearby village of westhumble when the burford bridge was rebuilt in excavations revealed a flintsurfaced approach to a ford at low level having all the signs of roman workmanship suggesting that stane street which ran from london to chichester via dorking crossed the river at this point in defoe s time there was a footbridge at this point but carts and waggons had to cross the river by a ford leatherhead there are three listed bridges in leatherhead of which the arch leatherhead town bridge is the oldest the late middle ages and was rebuilt and enlarged by the county surveyor george gwilt in the bridge is a long structure of segmental arches resting on low piers finished in red brick in flemish bond with some portland stone dressing a few metres downstream of leatherhead bridge stands the grade ii listed railway viaduct which carries the leatherhead to dorking line over the river the bridge was constructed in and at the insistence of thomas grissell the landowner was given lavish architectural treatment the single span shell bridge stands in the grounds of thorncroft manor to the south of the town centre the bridge was constructed as an ornamental feature in parkland laid out by capability brown in the late th century the bridge is largely composed of flint and has a large inverted scallop shell in the place of the keystone and similar shells in the spandrels at each side the bridge was renovated and strengthened in by a group of canadian engineers working on the terra nove project the restoration project who were billeted in the manor during the second world war cobham a wooden bridge is thought to have existed on the site of cobham bridge since the twelfth century the upkeep of which was the responsibility of the adjacent landowners the present bridge was constructed by george gwilt in after responsibility for maintenance had been transferred to the county council by act of parliament the bridge has nine low arches and is primarily built of red brick with stone coping the parapets were rebuilt in and the structure was given a grade ii listing in watermills domesday book listed twenty mills on the river mole in upper mole horley mill was first mentioned in a

stood now forms part of the ornamental gardens of a housing development called the wilderness east molesey lower mill also known as sterte mill was associated with the manor of molesey prior during the commonwealth it was used for gunpowder manufacture but after the restoration of the monarchy in it reverted to corn milling an old timber structure was replaced by a brick building in the s which

the river mole originally flowed into the river thames at the point where the present hampton court bridge now crosses the thames approximately m upstream of the present confluence on the reach above teddington lock however during the early s when hampton court way and the bridge were built the river mole was redirected to flow into the river ember and both rivers now enter the thames in a single

leatherhead the faerie queene first published in edmund spenser wrote of the river and mole that like a nousling mole doth make his way still under ground till thamis he overtake in polyolbion first published in the poet michael drayton described the journey taken by the river thames to the sea as still his goodly traine yet every houre increast and from the surrian shores cleer wey came down to

 the beggar s opera is a ballad opera in three acts written in by john gay with music arranged by johann christoph pepusch it is one of the watershed plays in augustan drama and is the only example of the once thriving genre of satirical ballad opera to remain popular today ballad operas were satiric musical plays that used some of the conventions of opera but without recitative the lyrics of the airs in the piece are set to popular broadsheet ballads opera arias church hymns and folk tunes of the time the beggar s opera premiered at the lincoln s inn fields theatre on january and ran for consecutive performances the longest run in theatre history up to that time after performances of rober cambert s pomone in the work became gay s greatest success and has been played ever since in the beggar s opera began an astonishing revival run of performances at one of the longest runs in history for any piece of musical theatre at that time the piece satirised italian opera which had become popular in london according to the new york times gay wrote the work more as an antiopera than an opera one of its attractions to its thcentury london public being its lampooning of the italian opera style and the english public s fascination with it instead of the grand music and themes of opera the work uses familiar tunes and characters that were ordinary people some of the songs were by opera composers like handel but only the most popular of these were used the audience could hum along with the music and identify with the characters the story satirised politics poverty and injustice focusing on the theme of corruption at all levels of society lavinia fenton the first polly peachum became an overnight success her pictures were in great demand verses were written to her and books published about her after appearing in the beggars opera she ran away with her married lover charles powlett rd duke of bolton bertolt brecht and kurt weill adapted the opera into die dreigroschenoper the threepenny opera in sticking close to the original plot and characters but with a new libretto and mostly new music origin and analysis the original idea of the opera came from jonathan swift who wrote to alexander pope on august asking what think you of a newgate pastoral among the thieves and whores there their friend gay decided that it would be a satire rather than a pastoral opera for his original production in gay intended all the songs to be sung without any accompaniment adding to the shocking and gritty atmosphere of his conception however a week or so before the opening night john rich the theatre director insisted on having johann christoph pepusch a composer associated with his theatre write songs in the opera including a fugue based on lucy s rd act song i m like a skiff on the ocean toss d and also to arrange the songs although there is no external evidence of who the arranger was inspection of the original score formally published by dover books demonstrates that pepusch was the arranger the work took satiric aim at the passionate interest of the upper classes in italian opera and simultaneously set out to lampoon the notable british whig party gay used scottish folk melodies mostly taken from the poet allan ramsay s hugely popular collection the gentle shepherd plus two french tunes including the carol bergers ecoutez la musique for his song fill every glass to serve his hilariously pointed and irreverent texts the renowned composer john christopher pepusch composed an ouverture and arranged all the tunes shortly before the opening night at lincoln s inn fields on january however all that remains instrumentation and the melodies of the songs with unfigured basses various reconstructions have been attempted and a reconstruction of the score by american composer jonathan dobin has been used in a number of modern productions gay uses the operatic norm of three acts as opposed to the standard in spoken drama of the time of five acts and tightly controls the dialogue and plot so that there are surprises in each of the fortyfive fastpaced scenes and short songs the success of the opera was accompanied by a public desire for keepsakes and mementos ranging from images of polly on fans and clothing playing cards and firescreens broadsides featuring all the characters and the rapidly published musical score of the opera the play is sometimes seen to be a reactionary call for libertarian values in response to the growing power of the conservative whig party it may also have been influenced by the thenpopular ideology of locke that men should be allowed their natural liberties these democratic strains of thought influenced the populist movements s opera was a part the character of macheath has been considered by critics as both a hero and an antihero harold gene moss arguing that macheath is a noble character has written one whose drives are toward love and the vital passions macheath becomes an almost christlike victim of the decadence surrounding him contrarily john richardson in the peerreviewed journal eighteenthcentury life has argued that macheath is powerful as a literary figure precisely because he stands against any interpretation against expectation and illusion the beggar s opera has had an influence on all later british stage comedies especially on nineteenth century british comic opera and the modern musical adaptations as was typical practice of the time in london a commemorative score of the entire opera was assembled and published quickly as was common this consisted of the fully arranged overture followed by the melodies of the songs supported by only the simplest bass accompaniments there are no indications of dance in three instances lucy s is then his fate decree d sir one measure of descending scale marked viol trape s in the days of my youth in which the fa la la chorus is written as viol and the final reprieve dance macheath s thus i stand like a turk which includes two sections of measures of dance marked viol see the score formerly published by dover the absence of the original performing parts has allowed producers and arrangers free rein the tradition of personalised arrangements dating back at least as far as thomas arne s later th century arrangements continues today running the gamut of musical styles from romantic to baroque austin britten sargent bonynge dobin and other conductors have each imbued the songs with a personal stamp highlighting different aspects of characterisation following is a list of some of the most highly regarded thcentury arrangements and settings of the opera in the baritone frederic austin newly arranged the music the longrunning production performances at the lyric theatre hammersmith the irish baritone frederick ranalow sang the role of captain macheath in every performance in this version was recorded by conductor sir malcolm sargent with john cameron as macheath and monica sinclair as lucy in on the th anniversary of the original production bertolt brecht words and kurt weill music created a popular new musical adaptation of the work in germany entitled die dreigroschenoper the threepenny opera in this work the original plot is followed fairly closely although the time is brought forward over a hundred years but the music is almost all new in john la touche book and lyrics and duke ellington music created another musical adaptation of the work for broadway entitled beggar s holiday an updated rendition of the story focused on a corrupt world inhabited by rakish mobsters raffish madams and their dissolute benjamin britten created an adaptation with new harmonisations and arrangements of preexisting tunes additional dialogue was written by the producer tyrone guthrie peter pears was the first singer of macheath the opera was made into a film version in and starred laurence olivier as captain macheath in czech playwright and future president vclav havel created a nonmusical adaptation in the nigerian nobel prizewinning playwright and dramatist wole soyinka wrote produced and directed opera wonyosi publ an adaptation of both john gay s the beggar s opera and bertolt brecht s the threepenny opera most of his characters as well as some of the arias are from the two earlier plays in richard bonynge and douglas gamley arranged a new edition for the australian opera now opera australia it was recorded the same year with joan sutherland kiri te kanawa james morris and angela lansbury the opera was adapted by jonathan miller and starred roger daltrey in the role of macheath stratford johns as peachum gary tibbs as filch and bob hoskins as the beggar the happy ending was changed so that macheath is hanged instead of being reprieved in in the play and

its popularity was documented in the craftsmen with the following entries this week a dramatick entertainment has been exhibited at the theatre in lincolnsinnfields entitled the beggar s opera which has met with a general applause insomuch that the waggs say it has made rich very gay and probably will make gay very rich february we hear that the british opera commonly called the beggar s opera continues to be acted at the theatre in lincolnsinn fields with general applause to the great mortification of the performers and admirers february two weeks after opening night an article appeared in the craftsman the leading opposition newspaper ostensibly protesting at gay s work as libellous and ironically assisting him in satirising the walpole establishment by taking the government s side it will i know be said by these libertine stageplayers that the satire is general and that it discovers a consciousness of guilt for any particular man to apply it to himself but they seem to forget that there are such things as innuendo s a neverfailing method of explaining libels nay the very title of this piece and the principal character which is that of a highwayman sufficiently discover the mischievous design of it since by this character every body will understand one who makes it his business arbitrarily to levy and collect money on the people for his own use and of which he always dreads to give an account is not this squinting with a vengeance and wounding persons in authority through the sides s last remark that the lower people have their vices in a degree as well as the rich and are punished for them implying that rich people are not so punished criticism of gay s opera continued long after its publication in john hawkins wrote in his history of music that due to the

 spirituals or negro spirituals are religious generally christian songs that were created by enslaved african people in the united states terminology and origin the term spiritual is derived from spiritual song the king james bible s translation of ephesians says speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs singing and making melody in your heart to the lord the term spiritual song was often used in the black and white christian community through the th century and indeed much earlier and spiritual was used as a noun to mean according to the context spiritual person or spiritual thing but not specifically with regard to song negro spiritual first appears in print in the s where slaves are described as using spirituals for religious songs sung sitting or standing in place and spiritual shouts for more dancelike music musicologist george pullen jackson extended the term folk hymnody as in his book white spirituals in the southern uplands but this does not appear to have been widespread usage previously the term however has often been broadened to include subsequent arrangements into more standard europeanamerican hymnodic styles and to include postemancipation songs with stylistic similarities to the original negro spirituals although numerous rhythmical and sonic elements of negro spirituals can be traced to african sources negro spirituals are a musical form that is indigenous and specific to the religious experience in the united states of africans and their descendants they are a result of the interaction of music and religion from africa with music and religion of european origin further this interaction occurred only in the united states africans who converted to christianity in other parts of the world even in the caribbean and latin america did not evolve this form there is also a duality in the lyrics of spirituals they communicated many christian ideals while also communicating the hardship that was a result of being to the composer s life it was a way of sharing religious emotional and physical experience through song alternative interpretations some scholarship claims that songs such as wade in the water contained explicit instructions to fugitive slaves on how to avoid capture and on which routes to take to successfully make their way to freedom wade in the water allegedly recommends leaving dry land and taking to the water as a strategy to throw pursuing bloodhounds off one s trail the gospel train song of the free and swing low sweet chariot are likewise supposed to contain veiled references to the underground railroad and many sources assert that follow the drinking gourd contained a coded map to the underground railroad the authenticity of such claims has been challenged as speculative and critics like james kelley have pointed to the apparent lack of primary source material in support of them noted african american literary critic sterling allen brown who had interviewed former slaves and their children was firm in his assertion in a some scholars who have found parallels between the words of negro and white spirituals would have us believe that when the negro sang of freedom he meant only what the whites meant namely freedom from sin free individualistic whites on the make in a prospering civilization nursing the american dream could well have felt their only bondage to be that of sin and freedom to be religious salvation but with the drudgery the hardships the auctionblock the slavemart the shackles and the lash so literally present in the negro s experience it is hard to imagine why for the negro they would remain figurative the scholars certainly do not make it clear but rather take refuge in such dicta as the slave did not contemplate his low condition are we to believe that the slave singing i been rebuked i been scorned done had a hard time sho s you bawn referred to his being outside of the true religion exslaves of course inform us differently sin dear as that freedom was to the true believer but from physical bondage those attacking slavery as such had to be as rare as antihitler marching songs in occupied france but there were oblique references frederick douglass has told us of the doubletalk of the spirituals canaan for instance stood for canada and over and beyond hidden satire the songs also were grapevines for communications harriet tubman herself called the moses of her people has told us that go down moses was tabu in the slave states but the people sang it nonetheless collections jubilee singers of fisk university in the s reverend alexander reid superintendent of the spencer academy in the old choctaw nation hired some enslaved africans from the choctaws for some work around the school he heard two of them uncle wallace and aunt minerva willis singing religious songs that they had apparently composed among these were swing low sweet chariot steal away to jesus the angels are jordan roll later reid who left indian territory at the beginning of the civil war attended a musical program put on by a group of negro singers from fisk university they were singing mostly popular music of the day and reid thought the songs he remembered from his time in the choctaw nation would be at least as appropriate he and his wife transcribed the songs of the willises as they remembered them and sent them to fisk university the jubilee singers put on their first performance singing the old captives songs at a religious conference in the songs were first published in in a book entitled jubilee songs as sung by the jubilee singers of fisk university by theodore f seward wallace willis died in or over time the pieces the jubilee singers performed came to be arranged and performed by trained musicians in mark twain whose father had owned slaves found fisk singing to be in the genuine old way he in the peoria journal said they have lost the wild rhythms the barbaric melody the passion they smack of the north some fifty years later zora neale hurston in her book the sanctified church criticized fisk singers and similar groups at tuskegee and hampton as using a glee club style that was full of musicians tricks not to be found in the original negro spirituals urging readers to visit an unfashionable negro church to experience real negro spirituals other collections a second important early collection of lyrics is slave songs of the united states by william francis allen charles pickard ware and lucy mckim garrison a group of lyrics to negro spirituals was published by colonel thomas wentworth higginson who commanded a regiment of former slaves during the civil war in an article in the atlantic monthly and subsequently included in his memoir army life in a black regiment century saw a resurgence of the spiritual this trend was impacted strongly by composers and musical directors such as moses hogan and brazeal dennard

 deathplace affligem abbey brabant adeliza of louvain sometimes known in england as adelicia of louvain also called adela and aleidis c april was queen of england from to as the second wife of king henry i she was the daughter of godfrey i count of louvain early life and family adeliza of louvain was born in in louvain presentday belgium she was renowned for her beauty reflected in the epithet the fair maiden of brabant the chronicler henry of huntingdon also mentions adelizas beauty in an interlude in his historia anglorum stating a jewel grows pale on you a crown does not shine put adornment aside for nature provides your adornment her father was godfrey i count of louvain landgrave of brabant and duke of lower lotharingia an ally of henry v holy roman emperor after the death of adelizas mother ida of chiny godfrey married clementia of flanders who had fought with the french against the normans in adeliza s brother joscelin of louvain married the heiress to the percy fortune he is often referred to as an opportunist queenship plans for adelizas marriage to henry i of england may have begun when she was as young as sixteen even before henrys only legitimate son william adelin died on november in the white ship disaster however henrys need for a new male heir expedited the marriage plans and the couple wed on january apparently in addition to her beauty henry was also attracted to adeliza as a wife because she was a descendant of charlemagne it is thought that henrys only surviving legitimate child empress matilda from his first wife matilda of scotland may have been involved in arranging his second marriage due to the fact that she was with him near the time that it was being negotiated henry of huntingdon mentions the royal couple in his historia anglorum stating that the appears to have traveled extensively with henry likely to increase the chances of her conception despite their close contact however adeliza and henry never produced a child unlike henrys first wife matilda adeliza appears to have played a very passive role in the administration of the kingdom while matilda issued some thirtyone charters and writs during her queenship during adeliza s fifteenyear marriage to henry i she issued one and she only attested of henrys many charters even though they were almost always together role as artistic patron despite her limited involvement in politics adeliza seems to have played an active role as a patron of the arts and literature and was influential in fostering the rise of french poetry in the english court while english queens had been traditionally associated with artistic patronage for decades and a number of them including edith of wessex emma of normandy and matilda had financed a number of works in different media adeliza primarily sponsored books written in french at the extremely popular a trend given impetus by wealthy aristocratic women like adeliza philippe de thaon an anglonorman poet dedicated his zoological treatise known as the bestiary to the queen poem philippe de thaon has distilled into a french treatise the bestiary a book in latin for the honour of a jewel who is an outstandingly beautiful woman and she is courtly and wise of good customs and generous she is called aaliz queen is she crowned she is the queen of england may her soul never know trouble listen to what we nd about her name in hebrew aaliz is her name praise of god is in hebrew truly aaliz laus of god i do not dare give further praise lest envy take me but so that she may i wish to compose this book may god be present at its beginning poem the bestiary would have been amply illustrated and was intended to be read page by page not all at once like a poem many other works that adeliza commissioned were similar in structure to the bestiary including the now lost life of king henry by david widowhood and remarriage when henry died on december adeliza retired temporarily to the benedictine convent of wilton abbey near salisbury she was present at the dedication of henry s tomb at reading abbey on the first anniversary of his death at about that time she founded a leper hospital dedicated to saint giles at fugglestone st peter wiltshire in three years after henry i s death adeliza married william daubigny st earl of arundel one of henry i s advisors and son of guillaume daubigny and maud le bigod together they lived at her castle of arundel on the sussex coast order of birth alice william olivia reynor geoffrey henry and agatha relationship with matilda although not a great deal is known about adelizas relationship with her stepdaughter it is known she was present at the ceremony when henry officially named matilda as his heir since the chronicler john of worcester states that the queen swore an oath for the kings daughter after her second marriage adeliza received matilda at her home in arundel along with matildas halfbrother robert st earl of gloucester in defiance of the wishes of her husband who was a staunch supporter of king stephen she later betrayed them and handed them over when king stephen besieged the castle trying to explain adeliza s actions john of worcester suggests that she feared the kings majesty and worried that she might lose the great estate she held throughout england he also mentions adelizas excuse to king stephen she swore on oath that his enemies had not come to england on her account but that she had close to her landholdings because of henry is generosity adeliza was given the revenues of rutland shropshire and a large district of london with possession of the city of chichester henry also gave the manor of aston to adeliza as his queen and wife landholdings that were part of adeliza of louvains dower include waltham in essex an estate in southeast england with areas in hertfordshire and bedfordshire buckinghamshire berkshire and middlesex she had property in devon as a gift from henry i she was given a property in ashleworth a component of the royal estate of berkeley in the whole county of shropshire was given to her even though it is not listed in the pipe roll adeliza gave her brother joscelin a large estate in sussex called petworth that was dependent on her castle of arundel henry also gave adeliza lands that had previously been matildas including waltham and queenhithe she had estates in essex hertfordshire bedfordshire middlesex gloucestershire and devon lands in additions to those gifts she was given a portion of the royal estate at berkeley and the county of shropshire after matilda died adeliza continued to exercise jurisdiction over her lands retaining some of her property until in she endowed reading abbey with one hundred shillings a year from the revenues of queenhithe on the first anniversary of henry is death adeliza give the manor of aston to the abbey of reading and endowed them with lands to provide for the convent and other religious pweaona sic coming to the abbey on the occasion of the anniversary of my lord king henry she added the gift of a church a few years later later years in the last years of her life adeliza appears to have faded into obscurity in adeliza left william to enter the monastery of afflighem in flanders at least one of her brothers was also living at this monastery the annals at the monastery are the only source to mention her death some traditions imply she was buried at the monastery but a donation made by her brother joscelin to reading abbey seems to suggest she was buried there with henry i notes

 birthplace hamburg holy roman empire johann franz encke september august was a german astronomer among his activities he worked on the calculation of the periods of comets and asteroids measured the distance from the earth to the sun and made observations of the planet saturn biography encke was born in hamburg where his father was a clergyman at the jakobskirche he was the youngest of eight children when his father died when he was four the family in straitened circumstances thanks to the financial assistance of a teacher he was able to be educated at the gelehrtenschule des johanneums he studied mathematics and astronomy from at the university of gttingen under carl friedrich gauss but he enlisted in the hanseatic legion for the campaign of serving as a sergeant in the artillery of the prussian army in holstein and mecklenburg in he resumed his studies at the university but after napoleon s escape from elba he returned to the become a lieutenant having returned to gttingen in he was at once appointed by bernhardt von lindenau as his assistant in the observatory of seeberg near gotha he had become acquainted with von lindenau during his military service there he completed his investigation of the comet of for which the cotta prize was awarded to him in by judges gauss and olbers he correctly assigned a period of years to the comet of that comet is now called pponsbrooks following a suggestion by jeanlouis pons who suspected one of the three comets discovered in to be the same one already discovered by him in encke began to calculate the orbital elements of this comet at this time all the known comets had an orbital period of seventy years and more with an aphelion far beyond the orbit of uranus the most famous comet of this family was comet halley with its period of seventysix years so the orbit of the comet discovered by pons have a period of years so that the aphelion had to be within the orbit of jupiter encke predicted its return for but this return was observable only from the southern hemisphere and was seen by carl ludwig christian rmker in australia the comet was also identified with the one seen by pierre mchain in and by caroline herschel in encke sent his calculations as a note to gauss olbers and bessel his former mathematics professor published this note and encke became famous as the discoverer of the short periodic comets the first object of this family the encke comet was named after him and so it is one of the few comets not named after the discoverer but after the one who calculated the orbit later this comet was identified as the origin of the taurids meteor showers the importance of the predicted return based on the calculation by encke was rewarded by the royal astronomical society in london by presenting their gold medal to him in in this year author bookseller and publisher rudolph zacharias becker the publisher of works from the seeberg observatory they had three sons and two daughters in he was elected a fellow of the royal society eight masterly treatises on the comet s movements were published by him in the berliner abhandlungen from a fresh discussion of the transits of venus in and he deduced a solar parallax of arcsecond this and the corresponding distance to the sun were long accepted as authoritative his results were published in two separate tracts entitled die entfernung der sonne the distance to the sun in he became director of the seeberg observatory and in was promoted to a corresponding position at berlin where a new observatory built under his superintendence and with the support of alexander von humboldt and king frederick william iii of prussia was inaugurated in mostly on the recommendation of bessel encke became director of the new directed the preparation of the star maps of the academy beginning in he edited and greatly improved the astronomisches jahrbuch and he issued four volumes of the astronomische beobachtungen auf der sternwarte zu berlin observations of the berlin observatory within the following time encke was involved in the discovery and orbital parameter determination of other short periodic comets and asteroids in encke described a broad variation in the brightness of the a ring of saturn the encke gap was later named in honor of his observations of saturn s rings in encke became professor for astronomy at the university of berlin much labor was bestowed by him upon facilitating the computation of the movements of the asteroids with this end in view he expounded to the berlin academy in a mode of determining an elliptic orbit from three observations and communicated to that body in a new method of calculating planetary perturbations by means of rectangular coordinates republished no encke visited england in he was elected a foreign member of the royal swedish academy of sciences in incipient braindisease compelled him to withdraw from official life in november he still was director of the berlin observatory until his death on august in spandau his successor was wilhelm julius foerster he contributed extensively to the periodical literature of astronomy encke s grave is preserved at a cemetery in the kreuzberg section of berlin the friedhof ii der jerusalems und neuen kirchengemeinde cemetery no ii of the congregations of jerusalem s church and new church entrance opposite to zossener str baruther street only for vehicles of the cemetery his grave is close to that of the mathematician carl gustav jacob jacobi honors twice in and the recipient of the gold medal of the royal astronomical society the

 a national monument in the united states is a protected area that is similar to a national park except that the president of the united states can declare an area of the united states to be a national monument without the approval of congress however areas within and extending beyond national parks monuments and national forests can be part of wilderness areas which have an even greater degree of protection than a national park would alone although wilderness areas managed by the united states forest service and bureau of land management often allow hunting and grazing national monuments can be managed by one of several federal agencies the national park service united states forest service united states fish and wildlife service or bureau of land management historically some national monuments were managed by the us war department national monuments can be so designated through the power of the antiquities act of president theodore roosevelt used the act to declare devils tower national monument history the antiquities act of resulted from states the reference in the act to objects of scientific interest enabled president theodore roosevelt to make a natural geology in roosevelt used the act to proclaim more than of the grand canyon as a national monument in president woodrow wilson proclaimed katmai national monument in alaska comprising more than acrekm lkin katmai was later enlarged to nearly acrekm lkin by subsequent antiquities act proclamations and for many years was the largest national park system unit petrified forest grand canyon and katmai were among the many national monuments later converted to national parks by congress in response to roosevelt s declaration of the grand canyon monument a putative mining claimant sued in federal court claiming that roosevelt had overstepped the antiquities act authority by protecting an entire canyon in the united states supreme court ruled unanimously that the grand canyon was indeed an object of historic or scientific interest and could be protected by proclamation setting a precedent for the use of the antiquities act to preserve large areas federal courts have antiquities act preservation authority substantial opposition did not materialize until when president franklin delano roosevelt in for example president harry s truman proclaimed effigy mounds national monument to accept a donation of the land from the state of iowa at the request of iowa s delegation the most substantial use of the proclamation authority came in when president jimmy carter proclaimed new national monuments in alaska after congress had adjourned without passing a major alaska lands bill strongly opposed in that state congress passed a revised version of the bill in incorporating most of these national monuments into national parks and preserves but the act also curtailed further use of the proclamation authority in alaska the proclamation authority was not used again anywhere until when president bill clinton proclaimed the grand staircaseescalante national monument in utah this action was widely unpopular in utah and bills were introduced to further restrict the president s authority to date none of them have been enacted most of the national monuments created service but by the bureau of land management as part of the national landscape conservation system new

keep me the store had been paying hardin a week but duh offered knowing that her mother would not approve of her working in a cabaret she made it known that her new job was playing for a dancing school three weeks later the band moved on to a better booking at the de luxe caf where the entertainers included florence mills and cora green from there the band moved up to the jewel of chicago s night life the dreamland here the principal entertainers were alberta hunter and ollie powers and there was no finer night spot in chicago when king oliver s creole jazz band replaced duh s group at the dreamland oliver asked hardin to stay with him she was with oliver at the dreamland in when an offer came for the orchestra to play a sixmonth engagement at that booking hardin returned to chicago while the rest of the oliver band went on to los angeles marriages and divorces in chicago hardin went back to work at the dreamland as pianist in an orchestra for mae brady a violinist and vaudeville stalwart while there she fell for jimmie johnson a young singer from washington dc whom she married on august the marriage was shortlived ending in divorce in the meantime the oliver band returned from california and opened at the royal gardens with bertha gonzales at the piano but soon found itself back at the dreamland with hardin at the piano his band was enjoying enormous success at the dreamland when king oliver sent for louis armstrong to join as second cornetist armstrong was beginning to make a name for himself in their hometown new orleans and regarded oliver papa joe as his mentor some say that oliver saw louis as a threat to his jazz throne and decided that containment although by all accounts both cornetists enjoyed working together at first hardin was unimpressed with louis who arrived in chicago wearing clothes and a hair style that she deemed to be too country for chicago but she worked to take the country out of him and a romance developed to the surprise of other band members some of whom had been trying to woo pretty hardin for some time with no success she already had divorce experience and helped louis get a divorce from his first wife daisy from whom he had separated back in new orleans hardin and louis were married on february hardin took louis shopping and taught him how to dress more fashionablyshe also got rid of his bangs and began working on his career recognizing his extraordinary talent she felt that he was wasting it in a secondary role louis was happy to be playing next to his idol but hardin eventually persuaded him to leave oliver and go it on his own armstrong eventually accepted a job with fletcher henderson in new york city hardin stayed in chicago first with oliver then leading a band of her own when hardin s band got a job at the dreamland caf in chicago the following year she prepared for louis return to chicago by having a huge banner made to advertise him as the world s greatest trumpet player louis was gaining an impressive reputation when richard m jones convinced okeh records to make a series of sessions under his name the classic armstrong hot five recordings with hardin at the piano kid ory on trombone johnny dodds on clarinet and johnny st cyr on banjo this stellar group rehearsed at louis and hardin s residence on chicago s east st street and held its first session on november few recordings are as celebrated as the ones made by the hot five and sometimes with earl hines replacing hardin the hot seven between then and the end of hardin had actually in april and may she also recorded a session for columbia records as the new orleans wanderers in the late s hardin and louis grew apart armstrong formed a new hot five with earl hines on piano hardin reformed her own band with freddie keppard on cornet whom hardin considered second only to louis louis and hardin separated in when he had begun a liaison with alpha smith who threatened to sue armstrong for breach of promise so he begged hardin not to grant him a divorce i felt sorry for louis hardin later recalled but he had twotimed me so i gave him a divorce just to teach him a lessonand i sued him too later years in the s sometimes billing herself as mrs louis armstrong hardin led an all girl orchestra then a mixed gender big band which broadcast nationally over the nbc radio network the same decade she recorded a series of sides for decca records as a swing genre early s hardin worked mostly as a soloist singing and playing piano in the late s she decided to leave the music and become a tailor so she took a course in tailoring her graduation project was to make a tuxedo for louis it was displayed prominently at a new york cocktail party she threw to announce her new field of endeavor they looked at louis tux and all the other things i had made and they were very impressed she recalled but then someone asked me to play the piano that s when i knew that i would never be able to leave the music business louis wore hardin s tuxedo and she continued to tailor but only as a sideline and then only for friends her shirts which friends received regularly on birthdays proudly bore a label with her mother s name decie and beneath that hand made by lil armstrong hardin eventually returned to chicago and the house on east st street she also made a trip but mostly she worked around chicago often with fellow chicagoans collaborators included red saunders joe williams oscar brown jr and little brother montgomery in the s hardin recorded a biographical narrative for riverside s bill grauer which was issued in lp form she would again appear on that label in participating in its chicago the living legends project as accompanist for alberta hunter and leader of her own hastily assembled big band at that time her favorite living pianists were thelonious monk and billy taylor which helps to explain why when riverside producer chris albertson approached her about these recordings her immediate reaction was who s going to listen to that old stuff the riverside recordings led to her inclusion in a starstudded nbc network special chicago and all that jazz and a followup album released through the verve records imprint in hardin began writing her autobiography in collaboration with albertson but she had second thoughts when she realized that such a might discomfit louis armstrong so the project was shelved with only five chapters written death when armstrong died in hardin was deeply shaken by the loss she traveled to new york for the funeral and rode in the family car i think louis would have found a way getting back at me if i had nt put hardin in that car his widow lucille told albertson returning to chicago hardin felt that work on her autobiography could now continue but the following month performing at a televised memorial concert for louis lil hardin armstrong collapsed at the piano she died an hour later aged

 an intraplate earthquake is an earthquake that occurs in the interior of a tectonic plate whereas an interplate earthquake is one that occurs at a plate boundary intraplate earthquakes are relatively rare interplate earthquakes which occur at plate boundaries are more common nonetheless very large intraplate earthquakes can inflict heavy damage particularly because such areas are not accustomed to earthquakes and buildings are usually not seismically retrofitted examples of damaging intraplate earthquakes are the devastating gujarat earthquake in the indian ocean earthquakes the earthquakes in new madrid missouri and the earthquake in charleston south carolina fault zones within tectonic plates the surface of the earth is made up of seven primary and eight secondary tectonic plates plus dozens of tertiary microplates the large plates move very slowly owing to convection currents within the mantle below the crust because they do not all move in the same direction plates often directly collide or move laterally along each other a tectonic environment that environments most occur on faults near plate margins by definition intraplate earthquakes do not occur near plate boundaries but along faults in the normally stable interior of plates these earthquakes often occur at the location of ancient failed rifts because such old structures may present a weakness in the crust where it can easily slip to accommodate regional tectonic strain compared to earthquakes near plate boundaries intraplate earthquakes are not well understood and the hazards associated with them may be difficult to quantify historic examples historic examples of intraplate earthquakes include those in mineral virginia in estimated magnitude new madrid in and estimated magnitude as high as the boston cape ann earthquake of estimated magnitude to earthquakes felt in new york city in and both quakes estimated at about magnitude and the charleston earthquake in south carolina in estimated magnitude to the charleston quake was particularly surprising had almost no history of even minor earthquakes in a large intraplate earthquake devastated the region of gujarat india the earthquake occurred far from any plate boundaries which meant the region above the epicenter was unprepared for earthquakes in particular the kutch district suffered tremendous damage where the death toll was over causes many cities live with the seismic risk of a rare large intraplate earthquake the cause of these earthquakes is often uncertain in many cases the causative fault is deeply buried and sometimes can not even be found under these circumstances it is difficult to calculate the exact seismic hazard for a given city especially if there was only one earthquake in historical times some progress is being made in understanding the fault mechanics driving these earthquakes prediction scientists continue to search for the causes of these earthquakes and especially for some indication of how often they recur the best success has come with detailed microseismic monitoring involving dense arrays of seismometers causative fault can be located with great accuracy and in most cases these line up in patterns consistent with faulting cryoseisms can sometimes be mistaken for intraplate earthquakes

 a bathroom is a room for personal hygiene generally containing a bathtub or a shower and possibly also a bidet in north america and some other regions it characteristically contains a toilet and a sink hence in north american english the word bathroom is commonly used to mean any room containing a toilet even a public toilet although in the united states this is more commonly called a restroom in other countries including the uk australia france and japan homes may have a separate toilet in iran almost all homes have two distinct rooms for bathroom and toilet room history the first records for the use of baths date back as far as bc at this time water had a strong religious value being seen as a purifying element for both body and soul and so it was not uncommon for people to be required to cleanse themselves before entering a sacred area baths are recorded as part of a village or town life throughout this period america and cold baths in asia communal baths were erected in a distinctly separate area to the living quarters of the village with a view to preventing evil spirits from entering the domestic quarters of a commune according to teresi et al the third millennium bc was the age of cleanliness toilets and sewers were invented in several parts of the world and mohenjodaro circa bc had some of the most advanced with lavatories built into the outer walls of houses these were westernstyle toilets made from bricks with wooden seats on top they had vertical chutes through which waste fell into street drains or cesspits sir mortimer wheeler the director general of archaeology in india from to wrote the high quality of the sanitary arrangements could well be envied in many parts of the world today nearly all of the hundreds of houses excavated had their own bathing rooms generally located on the ground floor the bath was made of brick sometimes drained away through a hole in the floor down chutes or pottery pipes in the walls into the municipal drainage system even the fastidious egyptians rarely had special bathrooms not all ancient baths were in the style of the large pools that often come to mind when one imagines the roman baths the earliest surviving bathtub dates back to bc and hails from the palace of knossos in crete what is remarkable about this tub is not only the similarity with the baths of today but also the way in which the plumbing works surrounding it differ so little from modern models a more advanced prehistoric th century bc and before system of baths and plumbing is to be found in the excavated town of akrotiri on the aegean island of thera there alabaster tubs and other bath fittings were found along with a sophisticated twin plumbing system to transport hot and cold water separately this was probably because of easy access to geothermic hot springs on this volcanic island both the an important part of their lifestyles writers such as homer had their heroes bathe in warm water so as to regain their strength it is perhaps notable that the mother of achilles bathed him in order to gain his invincibility palaces have been uncovered throughout greece with areas that are dedicated to bathing spaces with ceramic bathtubs as well as sophisticated drainage systems homer uses the word loetr baths later loutr from the verb loein to bathe the same root finds an even earlier attestation on linear b tablets in the name of the river lousios bathing river in arcadia public baths are mentioned by the comedian aristophanes as balanea sing balaneon latinized as balneum a balneary the roman attitudes towards bathing are well documented they built large purposebuilt thermal baths marking not only an important social development rejuvenation here was a place where people could meet to discuss the matters of the day and enjoy entertainment during this period there was a distinction between private and public baths with many wealthy families having their own thermal baths in their houses despite this they still made use of the public baths showing the value that they had as a public institution the strength of the roman empire was telling in this respect imports from throughout the world allowed the roman citizens to enjoy ointments incense combs and mirrors although some sources suggest that bathing declined following the collapse of the roman empire this is not completely accurate it was actually the middle ages that saw the beginning of soap production proof that bathing was definitely not uncommon it was only after the renaissance that bathing declined water was feared as a carrier of disease and thus sweat baths and heavy perfumes were preferred in fact throughout the th th and th centuries the use of public baths declined thus laying the foundations for the bathroom as it was to become in the th century however in japan shared bathing in sento and onsen spas still exists the latter being very popular variations powder room a powder room also called bath or guest bath usually refers to a room with a toilet and a sink and commonly used by guests shower room a shower room or showerroom is a room that contains a shower cubicle or shower stall but no bathtub in the united states this would be called a bathroom ensuite an ensuite bathroom or ensuite shower room also en suite ensuite and other variations is a bathroom or shower room attached to and only accessible from a bedroom family bathroom a family bathroom in british estate agent terminology is a full bathroom in a house jack and jill bathroom a jack and jill bathroom is a bathroom with a wetroom is a waterproof room usually equipped with a shower it is designed to eliminate moisture damage that is caused to a home and is also compatible with the heating systems beneath the floor regional differences australia and new zealand in australia new zealand and other british commonwealth countries it is common for a bathroom to not contain a lavatory but with a separate toilet next door a very small room with only a toilet and perhaps a tiny hand washbasin terminology in the united states in the united states bathrooms are generally categorized as master bathroom containing a shower and a tub that is adjoining to a master bedroom a full bathroom or full bath containing four plumbing fixtures bathtub shower toilet and sink half bath or powder room containing just a toilet and sink and bath containing toilet sink and shower although the terms vary from market sink and shower are considered a full bath this lack of a single universal definition commonly results in discrepancies between advertised and actual number of baths in real estate listings an additional complication is that there are currently two ways of notating the number of bathrooms in a dwelling one method is to count a half bathroom as and then add this to the number of full bathrooms eg baths would mean full baths and half bath the other newer method is to put the number of full bathrooms to the left side of the decimal point and to put the number of half bathrooms to the right of the decimal point eg would mean full baths and half bath would mean full baths and half baths design considerations the design of a bathroom must account for the use of both hot and cold water in significant quantities for cleaning the human body the water is also used for moving tank water may be splashed on the walls and floor and hot humid air may cause condensation on cold surfaces from a decorating point of view the bathroom presents a challenge ceiling wall and floor materials and coverings should be impervious to water and readily and easily cleaned the use of ceramic or glass as well as smooth plastic materials is common in bathrooms for their ease of cleaning such surfaces are often cold to the touch however and so waterresistant bath mats or even bathroom carpets may be used on the floor to make the room more comfortable alternatively the floor may be heated possibly by strategically placing heater conduits close to the surface electrical appliances such as lights heaters and heated towel rails generally need to be installed as fixtures with permanent connections rather than plugs and sockets this minimizes the risk of electric shock groundfault circuit interruptor electrical sockets can reduce the risk of electric shock and are required for bathroom socket installation by electrical in some countries such as the united kingdom only special sockets suitable for electric shavers are permitted in bathrooms and are labelled as such uk building regulations also define what type of electrical light fittings ie how watersplashproof may be installed in the areas zones around and above baths sinks and showers bathroom lighting should be uniform bright and must minimize glare for all the activities like shaving showering grooming etc one must ensure equitable lighting across the entire bathroom space the mirror area should definitely have at least two sources of light at least feet apart to eliminate any shadows on the face skin tones and hair color are highlighted with a tinge of yellow light see also bathroom cabinet toilet washroom

expertise in his chosen field the sharpness and preciseness of his dialectic skills wit and humour he was known for having a strong sense of justice whether royalty upper class or common people he treated them all equally with the collapse of the austrohungarian empire kaiser karl i and his wife zita von bourbonparma went into exile in switzerland kaiser karl i gave his word of honor to the swiss authorities to give notification in case of any intentions of travelling abroad however he broke it twice and went to hungary in a futile attempt to restore the monarchy and to regain power over his lost empire after that based on hberlins initiative the whole family and their violation of swiss asylum law and were asked to leave nevertheless when one of the children of empress zita came down with appendectomy and needed to undergo surgery in zrich hberlin granted them visa extensions for the time being retirement even after his retirement he was still much sought after in important matters he became a board member of one of the biggest swiss insurance companies winterthur and also first president of pro helvetia and was friends and acquaintance with such diverse personalities as the famous german writer hermann hesse and walter mittelholzer who was not only a pioneer of swiss aviation but also one of the first aviation entrepreneurs others included the nobel prize winner for literature romain rolland the swiss painters cuno amiet who is considered a pioneer of modern art in switzerland and carl liner among others hberlin died in frauenfeld anecdotes hberlins most famous and interesting client at the time when he practiced law in weinfelden was certainly the airship inventor count ferdinand von zeppelin in hberlins in which he writes that count zeppelin was among other things his client in manners such as border disputes with the eminent psychiatrist ludwig binswanger who was running an exclusive psychiatric clinic nearby the sanatorium bellevue when hberlin and the count were discussing business matters in the lounge of the counts family estate schloss girsberg it was not rare that they heard the propeller noise of count zeppelins airship passing by in moments like these count zeppelins attention was drawn away from matters at hand and hberlin suggested excellency shall we take a break until the airship has passed upon which count zeppelin stood up went to the window with a smile saying yes you are right sir in the rare moments of leisurely life hberlin found a lot of comfort in mountaineering and one day he took his wife to the beautiful alpine village of zermatt and when he was introducing her to the different peaks surrounding it an american tourist standing nearby overheard his explanations and assumed hberlin and asked politely if it was possible to have him the president of the federal council of switzerland as a mountain guide in his usual manner of being lowkey the president politely explained to the american that he was on a holiday with his wife to show her the natural wonders of the swiss alps and thus wasnt the mountain guide the gentlemen had mistaken him to be during wwi hberlin was a regiment commander and was stationed with his troops in the swiss alps in those days it was strongly prohibited for the soldier in charge of guarding horse carriages to ride on top of the carriage instead the soldier had the duty to run behind the carriage in case anything of the load fell off during the transportation needless to say the soldier on duty was not too thrilled with this task especially when the carriage was empty after delivering the goods and still he was not allowed to ride on it so one day a guard of hberlins regiment sat next up to the coachman on their goods at the designated area they were going on a mountainous road which had many turns when all of a sudden hberlin appeared out of nowhere and harshly questioned the guard why he was sitting on the coach instead of running alongside it the flabbergasted soldier answered in all honesty because colonel sir i have noticed you too late upon hearing this hberlin started to laugh heartily and let the soldier off the hook due to the guards

 religious art or sacred art is artistic imagery using religious inspiration and motifs and is often intended to uplift the mind to the spiritual sacred art involves the ritual and cultic practices and practical and operative aspects of the path of the spiritual realization within the artist s religious tradition christian art christian sacred art is produced in an attempt to illustrate supplement and portray in tangible form the principles of christianity though other definitions are possible most christian groups use or have used art to some extent although some have had strong objections to some forms of religious image and there have been major periods of iconoclasm within christianity most christian art is allusive or built around themes familiar to the intended observer one of the most common christian themes is that of the virgin mary holding the infant jesus another is that of christ on the cross for the benefit of the illiterate an elaborate iconographic system developed to conclusively identify scenes for example saint agnes depicted with a a shamrock each saint holds or is associated with attributes and symbols in sacred art history early christian art survives from dates near the origins of christianity the oldest surviving christian paintings are from the site at megiddo dated to around the year and the oldest christian sculptures are from sarcophagi dating to the beginning of the nd century until the adoption of christianity by constantine christian art derived its style and much of its iconography from popular roman art but from this point grand christian buildings built under imperial patronage brought a need for christian versions of roman elite and official art of which mosaics in churches in rome are the most prominent surviving examples during the development of christian art in the byzantine empire see byzantine art a more abstract aesthetic replaced the naturalism previously established in hellenistic art this new style was hieratic meaning its primary purpose was to convey religious meaning rather than accurately render objects and people realistic perspective proportions light and color were ignored and standardized conventions to portray individuals and events the controversy over the use of graven images the interpretation of the second commandment and the crisis of byzantine iconoclasm led to a standardization of religious imagery within the eastern orthodoxy the renaissance saw an increase in monumental secular works but until the protestant reformation christian art continued to be produced in great quantities both for churches and clergy and for the laity during this time michelangelo buonarroti painted the sistine chapel and carved the famous piet gianlorenzo bernini created the massive columns in st peter s basilica and leonardo da vinci painted the last supper the reformation had a huge effect on christian art rapidly bringing the production of public christian art to a virtual halt in protestant countries and causing the destruction of most of the art that already existed as a secular nonsectarian universal notion of art arose in th century western europe secular artists occasionally treated christian themes bouguereau included in the historical canon such as rouault or stanley spencer however many modern artists such as eric gill marc chagall henri matisse jacob epstein elizabeth frink and graham sutherland have produced wellknown works of art for churches since the advent of printing the sale of reproductions of pious works has been a major element of popular christian culture in the nineteenth century this included genre painters such as mihly munkcsy the invention of color lithography led to broad circulation of holy cards in the modern era companies specializing in modern commercial christian artists such as thomas blackshear and thomas kinkade although widely regarded in the fine art world as kitsch have been very successful the last part of the th and the first part of the st century have seen a focused effort by artists who claim faith in christ to reestablish art with themes that revolve around faith christ god the church the bible and other classic christian themes as worthy of respect by the secular art world both in sacred and secular arts other notable artists include larry d alexander gary p bergel carlos cazares bruce herman deborah sokolove and john august swanson see also madonna and child icon images of jesus buddhist art buddhist art originated on the indian subcontinent following the historical life of siddhartha gautama th to th century bc and thereafter evolved by contact with other cultures as it spread throughout asia and the world buddhist art followed believers as the dharma spread adapted and evolved in each new host country it developed to the north through central asia and into eastern asia to form the northern branch of buddhist art and to the east as far as southeast asia to form the southern branch of buddhist art in india buddhist art flourished and even influenced the development of hindu art until buddhism nearly disappeared in india around the th century due in part to the vigorous expansion of islam alongside hinduism tibetan buddhist art most tibetan buddhist tantra tibetan art includes thangkas and mandalas often including depictions of buddhas and bodhisattvas creation of buddhist art is usually done as a meditation as well as creating an object as aid to meditation an example of this is the creation of a sand mandala by monks before and after the construction prayers are recited and the form of the mandala represents the pure surroundings palace of a buddha on which is meditated to train the mind the work is rarely if ever signed by the artist other tibetan buddhist art includes metal ritual objects such as the vajra and the phurba indian buddhist art two places suggest more vividly than any others the vitality of buddhist cave painting from about the th century ad one is ajanta a site in india long forgotten until discovered in the other is dunhuang one of the great oasis staging posts on the silk road the paintings range from calm devotional images of the buddha to lively and crowded scenes often indian sculpture than in painting major art included mosques and a madonna art of mary and possibly her child islamic art a prohibition against depicting representational images in religious art as well as the naturally decorative nature of arabic script led to the use of calligraphic decorations which usually involved repeating geometrical patterns that expressed ideals of order and nature it was used on religious architecture carpets and handwritten documents islamic art has reflected this balanced harmonious worldview it focuses on spiritual essence rather than physical form while there has been an aversion to potential idol worship through islamic history this is a distinctly modern sunni view persian miniatures along with medieval depictions of muhammad and angels in islam stand as prominent examples contrary to the modern sunni tradition also shia muslims are much less averse to the depiction of figures including the prophets as long as the depiction is respectful figure representation in islamic sacred art the islamic resistance to the representation of living beings forms is unique to god and it is for this reason that the role of images and image makers has been controversialhe strongest statements on the subject of figural depiction are made in the hadith traditions of the prophet where painters are challenged to breathe life into their creations and threatened with punishment on the day of judgment the quran is less specific but condemns idolatry and uses the arabic term musawwir maker of forms or artist as an epithet for god partially as a result of this religious sentiment figures in painting were often stylized and in some cases the destruction of figurative artworks occurred iconoclasm was previously known in the byzantine period and aniconicism was a feature of the judaic world thus placing the islamic objection to figurative representations within a larger context as ornament however figures were largely devoid of any larger significance and perhaps therefore posed less challenge as with other forms of islamic ornamentation artists freely adapted and stylized basic human and animal forms giving rise calligraphy is the most highly regarded and most fundamental element of islamic art it is significant that the quran the book of god s revelations to the prophet muhammad was transmitted in arabic and that inherent within the arabic script is the potential for developing a variety of ornamental forms the employment of calligraphy as ornament had a definite aesthetic appeal but often also included an underlying talismanic component while most works of art had legible inscriptions not all muslims would have been able to read them one should always keep in mind however that calligraphy is principally a means to transmit a text albeit in a decorative form from its simple and primitive early examples of the th and th century ad the arabic alphabet developed rapidly after the rise of islam in the th century into a beautiful form of art the main two families of calligraphic styles were the dry styles called generally the kufic and the soft cursive styles which include naskhi thuluth nastaliq and many others the three nonfigural types of decoration in islamic art which also include calligraphy and vegetal patterns whether isolated or used in combination with nonfigural ornamentation or figural representation geometric patterns are popularly associated with islamic art largely due to their aniconic quality these abstract designs not only adorn the surfaces of monumental islamic architecture but also function as the major decorative element on a vast array of objects of all types 
 the tamaraw or mindoro dwarf buffalo with the scientific name bubalus mindorensis is a small hoofed mammal belonging to the family bovidae it is endemic to the island of mindoro in the philippines and is the only endemic philippine bovine it is believed however to have once also thrived on the larger island of luzon the tamaraw was originally found all over mindoro from sea level up to the mountains meters above sea level but because of human habitation hunting and logging it is now restricted to only a few remote grassy plains and is now an endangered species contrary to common belief and past classification the tamaraw is not a subspecies of the local carabao which is only slightly larger or the common water buffalo in contrast to the carabao it has a number of distinguishing characteristics it is slightly hairier has light markings on its face is not gregarious and has shorter horns that are in the country anatomy and morphology bubalus mindorensis has the appearance of a typical member of its family it has a compact heavyset bovine body four legs that end in cloven hooves and a small horned head at the end of a short neck it is smaller and stockier compared to the asiatic water buffalo bubalus bubalis there is little sexual dimorphism in the species although males are reported to have thicker necks the tamaraw has an average shoulder height of cm in the length of the body is m ft while the tail adds a further cm in reported weights have ranged from tokg lb adults have a dark brown to grayish color and more hair than bubalus bubalis the limbs are short and stocky white markings are seen in the hooves and the inner lower forelegs these markings are similar to that of the anoa bubalus depressicornis the face is the same color of the species also has a pair of graywhite strips that begins from the inner corner of the eye to the horns the nose and lips have black skin the ears are centimeters long from notch to tip with white markings on the insides both sexes grows short black horns in a vshaped manner compared to cshaped horns of bubalus bubalis the horns have flat surfaces and are triangular at their base due to the regular rubbing the tamaraw s horns have a worn outer surface but with rough inner sides the horns are reported to be to centimeters long however as antimalarial medicine was developed more people settled on the island the increase in human activity has drastically reduced tamaraw population by the tamaraw s range was reduced to three areas mount iglit mount calavite and areas near the sablayan penal settlement by their range was further reduced to only two areas the mounts iglitbaco national park and aruyan initial estimates of the at around individuals in the early s less than fifty years later in the population had dwindled to around a thousand individuals by fewer than animals were estimated to be alive these population estimates continually grew smaller until the iucn publication of their red data book where the tamaraw population was noted to be an alarmingly low heads this head count rose to animals in current estimates place the wild tamaraw population from thirty to two hundred individuals ecology and life history as a rare endemic mammal on a relatively secluded island the ecology of the tamaraw is largely unknown individuals of the species are reclusive and shy away from humans in addition the small sizes of the species subpopulations already spread thin throughout their fragmented range on about individuals are found in a square kilometer area make contact with any more than a solitary individual a rarity habitat bubalus mindorensis in thick brush near opencanopied glades where it may graze and feed on grasses since human habitation and subsequent forest fragmentation of their home island of mindoro the habitat preferences of the tamaraw have somewhat expanded to loweraltitude grassy plains within their mountainous environment tamaraws will usually be found not far from sources of water trophic ecology the tamaraw is a grazer that feeds on grasses and young bamboo shoots although it is known to prefer cogon and talahib saccharum spontaneum they are naturally diurnal feeding during the daytime hours however daytime human activities have recently forced select b mindorensis individuals to be nocturnal to avoid human contact life history the tamaraw is known to live for about years with an estimated lifespan of about the adult female tamaraw gives birth to one offspring after a gestation period of about days there is an interbirth interval of two years although one female has been sighted with its mother before becoming independent behavioral ecology unlike the closely related water buffalo b mindorensis is a solitary creature adults of the species do not occur in herds or smaller packs and are often encountered alone only juveniles exhibit the typical bovine herding behavior and clan hierarchy often seen in water buffalo males and females are known to associate all year round but this interaction lasts only a few hours it has been suggested that this solitary behavior is an adaptation to its forest environment adult males are often solitary and apparently aggressive while adult females can be alone accompanied by a bull or three young of different ages similar to other bovines the tamaraw wallows in mud pits it has been suggested that this behavior is employed by the animals in order to avoid biting insects another distinct behavior in b mindorensis is their fierceness there are reports concerning their fierceness when cornered although most are unsubstantiated threat posture used by the bovine involves vertical position this is accompanied with a lateral shaking of the head evolutionary history the presence of b mindorensis on the island of mindoro coupled with the discovery of fossil bubalids in other islands around the archipelago indicates that the family was once widespread throughout the philippines recent genetic analysis studies of the family members further strengthen this view etymology and taxonomic history the tamaraw was originally described as anoa mindorensis by the french zoologist pierre marie heude in in it was described as anoa bubalis mindorensis a subspecies of the thenwater buffalo species anoa bubalis a little over a decade after the tamaraw was elevated to species status as anoa mindorensis in the name tamaraw has other variants like tamarau tamarou and tamarao it has been suggested that the term which is a probable alternative name for the banteng bos javanicus conservation being an entirely endemic and rare land mammal bubalus mindorensis stands as an extremely vulnerable species currently it is classified as a critically endangered species and has been so since by the iucn on its iucn red list of endangered species awareness of the conservation status of bubalus mindorensis began way back in when it was classified as status inadequately known by the iucn enough data was gathered on the tamaraw population by and the iucn conservation monitoring center declared the species endangered throughout succeeding surveys conducted in and the species remained listed on the red list as endangered the relisting of the species in fulfilled the iucn criteria bc and d criterion b indicated that the species range was less less than five independent locations a noticed continuing decline in the population fulfilled subcriterion c given the condition of the population s sole habitat criterion d essentially required that a population be composed of less than mature individuals individual counts of the b mindorensis population at the time figured significantly lower than this in the tamaraw was relisted on the red list under the more severe c criteria this was due to estimates that the population would decline by in five years or within the timespan of two generations many factors have contributed to the decline of the tamaraw population over the course of the century the increase of the human population on mindoro has exposed the island s sole tamaraw population to severe anthropogenic pressures in the s the introduction of nonnative cattle on the island caused a severe rinderpest epidemic among the tamaraw population thennumbering in the thousands hunting of tamaraws for food and sustenance has also most major factor threatening survival of b mindorensis is habitat loss due to infrastructure development logging and agriculture these factors reduced the population of thousands during the early s to less than individuals in due to the decline of the b mindorensis population various philippine laws and organizations have been created towards the conservation of the species in commonwealth act no was enacted by the thenphilippine commonwealth the act specifically prohibited killing hunting and even merely wounding tamaraws with an exception noted for selfdefense if one were to be attacked by an agitated individual or for scientific purposes the penalties were harsh enough to include a hefty fine and imprisonment in an executive order was signed creating a committee specifically geared towards the conservation of the tamaraw the tamaraw was referred to as a source of national pride in the said eo the tamaraw conservation project was also established in the organization has successfully bred a tamaraw nicknamed kali act or the wildlife resources conservation and protection act was enacted to protect the tamaraw and other endemic species from hunting and sale during the s a gene pool was established to preserve the tamaraw s numbers however the project was not successful as only one offspring named kali was produced as of kali is the only surviving animal in the gene pooling project the project was also not improved as the protected areas and wildlife bureau shown that the tamaraws were already breeding in the wild cloning was not implemented for conservation as the department of environment and natural resource argued that such measures would diminish the genetic diversity of the species a small subpopulation of tamaraw has been found within the confines of the mt iglit game refuge and bird sanctuary on the same island of mindoro as of may bubalus mindorensis is on appendix i of the convention on international trade in endangered species where it has been since the species was with the listing cites recognizes the species as critically endangered and threatened with extinction thus international commercial trade in the species or any derivatives of which such as the meat horns or flesh is considered illegal while commercial trade in the species is prohibited exchange for noncommercial reasons such as scientific research is allowed importance to humans economical and commercial value while not as heavily exploited as other large endangered mammals the tamaraw population on mindoro was subject to some harvesting pressure from subsistence hunters before conservation efforts were spurred towards the latter half of the th century the iucn has described this as still ongoing in their red list report in philippine culture though the national animal of the philippines is the carabao in the s toyota motors through the defunct local company delta motors built the tamaraw auv asian utility vehicle because of its ruggedness and simplicity of design some examples still survive to this day copied by multinational companies ford manufacturers to this day because it is an asian utility vehicle it shares its design with the kijang the indonesian version automobile maker toyota once held a franchise in the philippine basketball association naming its team the toyota tamaraws see below during the wake of the asian utility popularity in the s toyota motors philippines released an asian utility vehicle called tamaraw fx in the philippines an evolution of the tamaraw auv it was widely patronized by taxi operators and was immediately

 paphiopedilum often called the venus slipper is a genus of the lady slipper orchid subfamily cypripedioideae of the flowering plant family orchidaceae the genus comprises some accepted taxa including several natural hybrids the genus is native to southeast asia the indian subcontinent southern china new guinea and the solomon and bismarck islands the species and their hybrids are extensively cultivated and are known as either paphiopedilums or by the abbreviation paphs in horticulture the type species of this genus is paphiopedilum insigne description paphiopedilum species naturally occur among humus layers as terrestrials on the forest floor while a few are true epiphytes and some are lithophytes these sympodial orchids lack pseudobulbs instead they grow robust shoots each with several leaves some are hemicryptophytes the leaves can be short and rounded or long and narrow and typically have a mottled pattern when older shoots die newer ones take is fully grown producing a raceme between the fleshy succulent leaves the roots are thick and fleshy potted plants form a tight lump of roots that when untangled can be up to m long members of this genus are considered highly collectible by orchid fanciers due to the curious and unusual form of their flowers along with cypripedium mexipedium phragmipedium and selenipedium the genus is a member of the subfamily cypripedioideae commonly referred to as the ladysslippers or slipper orchids due to the unusual shape of the pouchlike labellum of the flower the pouch traps insects seeking nectar and to leave again

reasons this means every plant is unique in horticulture the paphiopedilums are among the most widely cultivated being discovered every now and then for example the golden slipper orchid p armeniacum discovered in and described in amazed growers of orchids by the extraordinary beauty of its golden flowers in addition growers have bred thousands of interspecific hybrids and registered them with the royal horticultural society in london over the years these orchids are relatively easy to grow indoors as long as conditions that mimic their natural habitats are created most species thrive in moderate to high humidity moderate temperatures ranging from to degrees celsius and low light of to lux modern hybrids are typically easier to grow in artificial conditions than their parent species taxonomy and systematics the genus name paphiopedilum was established by ernst hugo heinrich pfitzer in it is derived from paphos a city in cyprus a place sacred to aphrodite it was said she landed at the site when rose from the sea as her birth and no paphiopedilum occurs on cyprus ampndash at least not as the genus is understood today but it was long mixed up with its holarctic relative cypripedium which indeed grows in the mediterranean region paphiopedilum was finally decided to be a valid taxon in but its use has become restricted to eastern asian species in our time subdivisions the genus paphiopedilum has been divided into several subgenera and then further into sections and subsections subgenus parvisepalum subgenus brachypetalum subgenus polyantha section mastigopetalum section polyantha section mystropetalum section stictopetalum section paphiopedilum section ceratopetalum section cymatopetalum section thiopetalum subgenus sigmatopetalum section spathopetalum

 the ashvamedha sanskrit avamedh horse sacrifice was one of the most important royal rituals of vedic religion described in detail in the yajurveda ts vsm ampndash and the pertaining commentary in the shatapatha brahmana bm ampndash the rigveda does have descriptions of horse sacrifice notably in hymns rv which are themselves known as but does not allude to the full ritual according to the yajurveda as per brahma vaivarta purana on the next morning the priests raise the queen from the place where she has spent the night with the horse with the dadhikra verse rv yv vsm a verse used as a purifier after obscene language the three queens with a hundred golden silver and copper needles indicate the lines on the horse s body along which it will be dissected the horse is dissected and its flesh roasted and personified concepts with utterances of svaha allhail the ashvastuti or eulogy of the horse follows rv yv vsm ampndash concluding with may this steed bring us allsustaining riches wealth in good kine good horses manly offspring freedom from sin may aditi vouchsafe us the steed with our oblations gain us lordship the priests performing the sacrifice were recompensed with a part of the booty won during the wandering of the horse according to a commentator the spoils from the east were given to the hotar while the adhvaryu a maiden a daughter of the sacrificer and the sacrificer s fourth wife the shatapatha brahmana emphasizes the royal nature of the ashvamedha verily the asvamedha means royal sway it is after royal sway that these strive who guard the horse bm trans eggeling it repeatedly states that the asvamedha is everything bm trans eggeling the ashvamedha soma sacrifice and incorporates other important sacrifices the ashvamedha is intended to secure prosperity for the kingdom and its subjects it is a bloody sacrifice in which the domestic animals are killed and nondomestic animals are set free it ends with a further sacrifice of twenty one cows gifts are then given to the officers culminating in the gift to the priests of the four wives of the king or their attendants the human sacrifice the purushamedha followed a similar format but included a man with the animals to be sacrificed the price of the man was set at one thousand cows and a hundred horses like the horse the man chosen for sacrifice was allowed to wander for a year once he had been killed the queen lay with his corpse the ashvamedha celebrated the king as king of the whole world not as king of a part of the world that constituted his kingdom the stature of a king was not related to a particular part of the world that might the horse was considered a noble animal and was associated with the military class when the asvamedha has been performed in historical times it has been more to demonstrate vedic orthodoxy than for genuinely religious reasons the laws of manu refer to the ashvamedha v the man who offers a horsesacrifice every day for a hundred years and the man who does not eat meat the two of them reap the same fruit of good deeds known historical performances pusyamitra sunga is said to have performed the ashvamedha rite after he toppled mauryan rule in bc a historically documented performance of the ashvamedha is during the reign of samudragupta i died the father of chandragupta ii special coins were minted to commemorate the ashvamedha and the king took on the title of maharajadhiraja after successful completion of the sacrifice there were a few later performances one by raja of kannauj jai chandra rathod in the th century unsuccessfully as prithviraj chauhan thwarted his known instance seems to be in ce by jai singh ii of amber of jaipur performances in hindu epics performances of the ashvamedha feature in the epics ramayana ampndash and mahabharata in the mahabharata the sacrifice is performed by yudhishtira book his brothers guarding the horse as it roamed into neighbouring kingdoms arjuna defeats all challengers the mahabharata says that the ashvamedha as performed by yudhishtira adhered to the letter of the vedic prescriptions after the horse was cut into parts draupadi had to sit beside the parts of the horse in the ramayana rama s father dasharatha performs the ashvamedha which is described in the bala kanda book of the poem the ramayana provides far more detail than the mahabharata the ritual take place for three days preceded by sage rishyasringa and vasista again it is stated that the ritual was performed in strict compliance with vedic prescriptions dasaratha s chief wife kausalya circumambulates then queen kausalya desiring the results of ritual disconcertedly resided one night with that horse that flew away like a bird the fat of the sacrificed horse is then burnt in ritual fire and after that the remaining parts of the body with spoons made out of plaksha tree branches at the conclusion of the ritual dasharatha symbolically offers his other wives to the presiding priests who return them in exchange for expensive gifts the four sides of the yagna altar is also donated to priests who had done the ritual and it is exchanged by them for gold silver cows and other gifts in the shanti parva of the mahabharata the sacrifice is performed by king vasu uparichara by the king s decree no animals were slain during the yagna and the only offerings that were made were products of the wilderness some historians believe that the bala kanda and uttara kanda were latter interpolations to the authentic form of the ramayana due to references to greek parthians and sakas indoeuropean comparison many indoeuropean branches show evidence for horse sacrifice and comparative mythology suggests that they derive from a protoindoeuropean ritual the ashvamedha is the clearest evidence preserved but vestiges from latin and celtic traditions allow the reconstruction of a few common attributes the gaulish personal name epomeduos is from ekwomedhu horsemead while ashvamedha is either from ekwomaddho horsedrunk or ekwomeydho horsestrength the reconstructed myth involves the coupling of a king with a divine mare which produced the divine twins some scholars including edgar polom regard the reconstruction of a protoindoeuropean ritual as unjustified due to the difference between the attested traditions eiec sv horse p vedanta and puranas the brhadaranyaka upanishad a mystical appendix to the shatapatha brahmana and likely the oldest of the upanishads has a creation myth where death takes the shape of a horse and includes an he became a horse ashva because it swelled ashvat and was fit for sacrifice medhya and this is why the horsesacrifice is called ashvamedha therefore the sacrificers offered up the purified horse belonging to prajapati as dedicated to all the deities verily the shining sun ye tapati is the asvamedha and his body is the year agni is the sacrificial fire arka and these worlds are his bodies these two are the sacrificial fire and the asvamedhasacrifice and they are again one deity viz death brup trans mller the upanishads describe ascetic austerities as an inner ashvamedha as opposed to the outer royal ritual performed in the physical world in keeping with the general tendency of vedanta to move away from priestly ritual towards spiritual introspection verse of the avadhuta upanishad has through extreme devotion that is the greatest sacrifice and the greatest meditation according to the brahma vaivarta purana the ashvamedha is one of five rites forbidden in the kali yuga in hindu revivalism in the arya samaj reform movement of dayananda sarasvati the ashvamedha is considered an allegory or a ritual to get connected to the inner sun prana dayananda in his introduction to the commentary on the vedas rejected the classical commentaries of the vedas by sayana mahidhara and uvata as medieval corruptions opposed to the real meaning of the vedas p in order to arrive at an entirely symbolic interpretation of the ritual an empire is like a horse and the subjects like other inferior animals p thus vsm literally he beats on the vulva gabha the penis pasas oozes repeatedly nigalgaliti in the receptacle is interpreted but in terms of the king and his subjects the subjects are called gabha to be seized kingly power called pasa to be penetrated p this interpretation is apparently based on a verse from shatapatha brahmana following dayananda arya samaj disputes the very existence of the prevedantic ritual thus swami satya prakash saraswati claims that the word in the sense of the horse sacrifice does not occur in the samhitas in the terms of cosmic analogy ashva is the sun in respect to the adhyatma paksha the prajapatiagni or the purusha the creator is the ashva he is the same as the varuna the most supreme the word medha stands for homage it later on became synonymous with oblations in rituology since oblations are offered dedicated to the one whom we pay mean slaughter or sacrifice the critical and cultural study of the shatapatha brahmana by swami satya prakash saraswati p arguing that the animals listed as sacrificial victims are just as symbolic as the list of human victims listed in the purushamedha which is generally accepted as a purely symbolic sacrifice already in rigvedic times other commentators accept the existence of the sacrifice but reject the notion that the queen lay down with the dead horse thus subhash kak in a blog posting suggests that the queen lay down with a toy horse rather than with the slaughtered stallion due to presence of the word ashvaka similar to shivaka meaning idol or image of shiva all world gayatri pariwar since has organized performances of a modern version of the ashvamedha where a statue is used in place of a real horse according to hinduism today with a million participants in chitrakoot madhya pradesh on april to such without killing it the religious motivation being prayer for overcoming enemies the facilitation of child welfare and development and clearance of debt entirely within the allegorical interpretation of the ritual and with no actual sacrifice of any animal swami dayananda saraswati rejected the classical commentaries of the vedas by sayana mahidhara and uvata as medieval corruptions opposed to the real meaning of the vedas p in order to arrive at an entirely symbolic interpretation of the ritual an empire is like a horse and the subjects like other inferior animals p thus vsm literally he beats on the vulva gabha the penis pasas oozes repeatedly nigalgaliti in the receptacle is interpreted not in terms of the horse and the queen but in terms of the king and his subjects the subjects are called gabha to be seized kingly power called pasa this interpretation is apparently based on a verse from shatapatha brahmana according to him no horse was actually to be slaughtered in the ritual as per the yajurveda reception the earliest recorded criticism of the ritual comes from the crvka an atheistic school of indian philosophy that assumed various forms of philosophical skepticism and religious indifference a quotation of the crvka from madhavacharya s sarvadarsanasangraha states griffith omits verses vsm ampndash the ritual obscenities protesting that they are not reproducible even in the semiobscurity of a learned european language alluding to other instances where he renders explicit scenes in latin rather than english a b keith s translation also omits verses this part of the ritual offended the dalit reformer and framer of the indian constitution b r ambedkar and is frequently mentioned in his writings as an example of the perceived degradation of brahmanical culture while others such has manohar l varadpande praised the ritual as social occasions of great magnitude rick f talbott writes that mircea structure which both regenerated the entire cosmos and reestablished every social order during its performance 
 pixies also pixy pixi pizkie piskies and pigsies as they are sometimes known in cornwall are mythical creatures of folklore considered to be particularly concentrated in the high moorland areas around devon and cornwall suggesting some celtic origin for the belief and name akin to the irish and scottish aos s pixies are believed to inhabit ancient underground ancestor sites such as stone circles barrows dolmens ringfort or menhirs in traditional regional lore pixies are generally benign mischievous short of stature and attractively childlike they are fond of dancing and gather outdoors in huge numbers to dance or sometimes wrestle through the night demonstrating parallels with the cornish plenangwary and breton fest noz cornish troyl folk celebrations originating in the medieval period in modern times they are usually depicted with pointed ears and often wearing a green outfit and pointed hat sometimes their eyes are described as being pointed upwards at the temple ends these however are victorian era conventions use the term can be synonymous with fairies or sprites however in folklore there is a traditional enmity even war between the two races etymology and origin the origin of the name pixie is uncertain some have speculated that it comes from the swedish dialectal pyske meaning wee little fairy others however have disputed this given there is no plausible case for nordic dialectical survivals in southwest britiain and claiming instead that due to the cornish origin of the piskie that the term is more probably celtic in origin though no direct ancestor of the word is known however the term pobel vean little people is often used to refer to them collectively very similar analogues exist in closely related irish aos si and breton korrigan culture although their common names are unrelated even within areas of language survival there is a very high name for pixie is spriggan this being the area of late survival of the cornish language where spriggan s are distinguished from pixies by their malevolent nature closely associated with tin mining in cornwall are the subterranean ancestral knockers pixie mythology is believed to predate christian presence in britain in the christian era they were sometimes said to be the souls of children who had died unbaptised these children would change their appearance to pixies once their clothing was placed in clay funeral pots used in their earthly lives as toys by some were suggesting that the name pixie was a racial remnant of pictic tribes who used to paint and tattoo their skin blue an attribute often given to pixies this suggestion is still met in contemporary writing but there is no proven connection and the etymological connection is doubtful some thcentury researchers made more general claims about pixie origins or have connected them with the puck cornish bucca a mythological creature sometimes described as a fairy the advent of more modern fiction pixie mythology was localised to britain some have noted similarities to northern fairies germanic and scandinavian elves but pixies are distinguished from them by the myths and stories of devon and cornwall cornwall and devon before the midth century pixies and fairies were taken seriously in much of cornwall and devon books devoted to the homely beliefs of the peasantry are filled with incidents of pixie manifestations some locales are named for the pixies associated with them in devon near challacombe a group of rocks are named for the pixies said to dwell there at trevose head in cornwall pixies were said to have gathered dancing and laughing in a circle that had appeared upon the turf until one of their number named omfra lost his laugh after searching amongst the barrows of the ancient kings of cornwall on st breock downs he wades through the bottomless dozmary pool on bodmin moor until his laugh is restored by king arthur in the form of a chough real beings persists in the legends associated with dartmoor pixies or piskeys are said to disguise themselves as a bundle of rags to lure children into their play the pixies of dartmoor are fond of music and dancing and for riding on dartmoor colts these pixies are generally said to be helpful to normal humans sometimes helping needy widows and others with housework they are not completely benign however as they have a reputation for misleading travellers being pixyled the remedy for which is to turn your coat inside out the queen of the cornish pixies is said to be joan the wad torch and she is considered to be good luck or bring good luck in devon pixies are said to be invisibly small and harmless or friendly to man in some of the legends and historical accounts they are presented as having nearhuman stature for instance a member of the elford family in tavistock devon successfully hid from cromwells troops in a pixie house house a natural cavern on sheep tor is still accessible at buckland st mary somerset pixies and fairies are said to have battled each other here the pixies were victorious and still visit the area whilst the fairies are said to have left after their loss by the early th century their contact with humans had diminished in samuel drews book cornwall one finds the observation the age of pixies like that of chivalry is gone there is perhaps at present hardly a house they are reputed to visit even the fields and lanes which they formerly frequented seem to be nearly forsaken their music is rarely heard pixie day pixie day is an old tradition which takes place annually in the east devon town of ottery st mary in june the day commemorates a legend of pixies being banished from the town to local caves known as the pixie s parlour the pixie day legend originates from the early days of christianity otteri ottery st mary and commissioned a set of bells to come from wales and to be escorted by monks on their journey on hearing of this the pixies were worried as they knew that once the bells were installed it would be the death knell of their rule over the land so they cast a spell over the monks to redirect them from the road to otteri to the road leading them to the cliff s edge at sidmouth just as the monks were about to fall over the cliff one of the monks stubbed his toe on a rock and said god bless my soul and the spell was broken the bells were then brought to otteri and installed however the pixies spell was not completely broken each year on a day in june the pixies come out and capture the town s bell ringers and imprison them in pixies parlour to be rescued by the vicar of ottery st mary this legend is reenacted each year by the cub and brownie pixies parlour in the town square the original pixie s parlour can be found along the banks of the river otter characteristics pixies are variously described in folklore and fiction they are often described as illclothed or naked in william crossing noted a pixie s preference for bits of finery indeed a sort of weakness for finery exists among them and a piece of ribbon appears to be highly prized by them some pixies are said to steal children or to lead travellers astray this seems to be a crossover from fairy mythology and not originally attached to pixies in thomas keightley observed that much of devon pixie mythology may have originated from fairy myth pixies are said to reward consideration and punish neglect on the part of larger humans for which keightley gives examples by their presence they bring blessings to those who are fond of them pixies are drawn to horses riding them for pleasure and making tangled ringlets in the manes of those horses caves of the ocean the hidden sources of the streams and the recesses of the land some find pixies to have a human origin or to partake of human nature in distinction to fairies whose mythology is traced to immaterial and malignant spirit forces in some discussions pixies are presented as wingless pygmylike creatures however this is probably a later accretion to the mythology one british scholar stated his belief that pixies were evidently a smaller race and from the greater obscurity of the tales about them i believe them to have been an earlier race literary interpretations many victorian era poets saw them as magical beings an example is samuel minturn peck in his poem the pixies he writes t is said their forms are tiny yet all human ills they can subdue or with a wand or amulet can win a maidens heart for you and many a blessing know to stew to make to wedlock the pixies are abroad tonight the late th century english poet nora chesson summarised pixie mythology fairly well in a poem entitled the pixies she gathered all the speculations and myths into verse have eer you seen the pixies the fold not blest or banned they walk upon the waters they sail upon the land they make the green grass greener whereer their footsteps fall the wildest hind in the forest comes at their call they steal from bolted linneys they milk the key at grass the maids are kissed amilking and no one hears them pass they flit from byre to stable and ride unbroken foals they seek out human lovers to win them souls the pixies know no sorrow the pixies feel no fear they take no care for harvest or seedtime of the year age lays no finger on them the reaper time goes by the pixies they who change pixies though they love us behold us pass away and are not sad for flowers they gathered yesterday today has crimson foxglove if purple hoseinhose withered last night tomorrow will have its rose she touches on all the essentials including even more modern accretions pixies are inbetween not cursed by god or especially blessed they do the unexpected they bless the land and are forest creatures whom other wild creatures find alluring and nonthreatening they love humans taking some for mates and are nearly ageless they are winged flitting from place to place the pixie day tradition in samuel taylor coleridges hometown of ottery st mary in east devon was the inspiration for his poem song of the pixies the victorian era writer mary elizabeth whitcombe divided pixies into tribes according to personality and deeds anna eliza bray suggested that pixies and fairies were distinct species modern fiction pixies serve as helpers of santa claus in l frank baum s and his short story a kidnapped santa claus they reside in the forest of burzee in michael buckley s the sisters grimm series pixies are described as small orangeglowing creatures that resemble fireflies and are controlled by fairies such as puck by the use of a small wooden flute enid blyton wrote a number of children s books with pixies as featured characters one employee of the bbc even criticised her stories have nt much literary value there is rather a lot of the pinkwinkydoodledoodle dumdumm type of name and lots of pixies in the original tales in holly black s and tony diterlizzi s spiderwick chronicles pixies

which the main character is a pixie in eoin colfer s artemis fowl species that have been driven underground by humans and the pollution they have caused on earth opal koboi is the megalomaniac genius pixie of artemis fowl the opal deception colfer describes characteristics of pixies as having abnormally childish features and larger heads than other types of fairies with large but vulnerable brains

 for the drawing style of anime and manga see super deformed in nuclear physics a superdeformed nucleus is a nucleus that is very far from spherical forming an ellipsoid with axes in ratios of approximately normal deformation is approximately only some nuclei can exist in superdeformed states the first superdeformed states to be observed were the fission isomers lowspin states of elements in the actinide and lanthanide series the strong force decays much faster than the coulomb force which becomes stronger when nucleons are greater than femtometers apart for this reason these elements undergo spontaneous fission in the late s highspin superdeformed rotational bands were observed in other regions of the periodic table specific elements include ruthenium rhodium palladium silver osmium iridium platinum gold and mercury the existence of superdeformed states occurs because of a combination of macroscopic and microscopic factors which together lower their energies and make them stable minima of energy as a described by the liquid drop model the liquid drop s energy as a function of deformation is at a minimum for zero deformation due to the surface tension term however the curve may become soft with respect to high deformations because of the coulomb repulsion especially for the fission isomers which have high z and also in the case of highspin states because of the increased moment of inertia modulating this macroscopic behavior the microscopic shell correction creates certain superdeformed magic numbers that are analogous to the spherical magic numbers for nuclei near these magic numbers the shell correction creates a second minimum in the energy as a function of deformation even more deformed states are called hyperdeformed

 unsafe at any speed the designedin dangers of the american automobile by ralph nader published in is a book accusing car manufacturers of resistance to the introduction of safety features like seat belts and their general reluctance to spend money on improving safety it was a pioneering work openly polemical but containing substantial references and material from industry insiders it made nader a household name theme unsafe at any speed is often characterized as the book about the corvair though only one of the book s eight chapters covers the corvair the theme of tire pressures chosen for comfort rather than safety is recurrent and the main theme throughout is the charge that the automobile industry evaded wellfounded and technically informed criticism organization and content each of the book s chapters covers a different aspect of automotive safety the sporty corvair the subject for which the book is probably most widely known the rearengined chevrolet corvair is this relates to the first models that had a swingaxle suspension design which was prone to tuck under in certain circumstances in substitution for the costcutting lack of a front stabilizer bar antiroll bar corvairs required tire pressures which were outside of the tire manufacturer s recommended tolerances the corvair relied on an unusually high front to rear pressure differential psi front psi rear when cold psi and psi hot and if one inflated the tires equally as was standard practice for all other cars at the time the result was a dangerous oversteer despite the fact that proper tire pressures was more critical than for contemporaneous designs this was not clearly stated to chevrolet salespeople and corvair owners according to the standards laid down by the relevant industry body the tire and rim association the pressures also rendered the front tires overloaded when there were two or more passengers on board an unadvertised atcost option included upgraded springs and dampers front antiroll bars also available such as the empi camber compensator for the knowledgeable owner the suspension was modified for models with inclusion of a standard front antiroll bar and a transversemounted rear spring in the totally redesigned fourlink fully independent rear suspension maintained a constant camber angle at the wheels corvairs from were not prone to the formerly characteristic tuckunder crashes george caramagna the chevrolet suspension mechanic who nader learned had fought management over omission of the vital antisway bar that they were forced to install in later models was vital to this issue the missing bar had caused many crashes and it was caramagna who precipitated the whole controversy by staying his ground on the issue disaster deferred chapter levels criticism on auto design elements such as instrument panels and dashboards that were often brightly finished with chrome and glossy enamels which could reflect sunlight or the headlights of oncoming motor vehicles into the driver s eyes this problem according to nader was well known by persons it apart from some of the examples given in the corvair chapter nader offers much about the gear shift quadrants on earlier cars fitted with automatic transmissions several examples are given of persons accidentally being run over or cars that turned into runaways because the driver operating the vehicle at the time of the accident was not familiar with its shift pattern and would shift into reverse when intending to shift to park nader makes an appeal to the auto industry to standardize gearshift patterns between makes and models as a safety issue early automatic transmissions including gm s hydramatic packard s ultramatic and borg warner s automatic used by a number of independent manufacturers rambler studebaker used a pattern of p n d l r which put reverse at the bottom of the quadrant next to low which was contrary to the pattern used by other manufacturers drivers used to moving the shift lever all the way down for low gear would accidentally select r and would unexpectedly move the car backwards in addition pushbutton selector to choose gear ranges ford was the first to use the p r n d l pattern which separated reverse from forward ranges by neutral eventually this pattern became the standard for all automaticshift cars chevrolet s powerglide at least as seen on the corvair used a r n d l pattern which separated the reverse from the drive gears by neutral in the ideal way but which had no p selection relying instead on the process used with a manual transmission of the driver selecting n neutral and using a separate parking brake when parking chapter also exposes problems in workmanship and the failure of companies to honor warranties the second collision chapter documents the history of crash science focusing on the effect on the body the second collision as it collides with the interior of the car as the car hits another object the first collision nader argues that much knowledge was available to designers by the early s but it was largely ignored within the steering assembly instrument panel windshield passenger restraint and the passenger compartment which included everything from door strength to rollover bars due to this the nader bolt was installed to reinforce the door and suicide doors were discontinued because of a lack of door strength the power to pollute chapter documents the automobile s impact on air pollution and its contribution to smog with a particular focus on los angeles the engineers chapter is about detroit automotive engineers general unwillingness to focus on roadsafety improvements for fear of alienating the buyer or making cars too expensive nader counters by pointing out that at the time annual and unnecessary styling changes added on average about to the consumer cost of a new car this compared to an average expenditure in safety by the automotive companies of about twentythree cents per car the stylists chapter explores the excessive ornamentation that appeared on cars particularly in the late s and the dominance of car nader notes bumpers shaped like sledrunners and sloping grille work above the bumpers which give the effect of leaning into the wind increase the car s potential for exerting downandunder pressures on the pedestrian see current practice at pedestrian safety through vehicle design the traffic safety establishment subtitled damn the driver and spare the car chapter discusses the way the blame for accidents and fatalities was placed on the driver the book claims that the road safety mantra called the three e s engineering enforcement and education was created by the industry in the s to distract attention from the real problems of vehicle safety such as the fact that some were sold with tires that could not bear the weight of a fully loaded vehicle to the industry he said enforcement and education meant the driver while engineering was all about the road as late as he noted million federal dollars were allocated to highway beautification while just was dedicated to highway safety the concluding chapter suggests that the automotive industry should be forced by government to pay greater attention to safety in the face of mounting evidence about preventable death and injury government response the book has continuing relevance it addressed what nader perceived as the political meddling of the car industry to oppose new safety features which parallels the debates in the s over the mandatory fitting of air bags in the united states and industry efforts by the acea to delay the introduction of crash tests to assess vehiclefront pedestrian protection in the european union industry response nader claims that gm responded to his criticism of the corvair by trying to destroy nader s image and to silence him it conducted a series of interviews with acquaintances of the plaintiff questioning them about and casting aspersions upon his political social racial and religious views his integrity his sexual proclivities and inclinations and his personal habits kept him under surveillance in public places for an unreasonable length accosted by girls for the purpose of entrapping him into illicit relationships made threatening harassing and obnoxious telephone calls to him tapped his telephone and eavesdropped by means of mechanical and electronic equipment on his private conversations with others and conducted a continuing and harassing investigation of him on march gm president james roche was forced to appear before a united states senate subcommittee and to apologize to nader for the company s campaign of harassment and intimidation nader later successfully sued gm for excessive invasion of privacy it was the money from this case that allowed him to lobby for consumer rights leading to the creation of the us environmental protection agency and the clean air act among other things former gm executive john delorean asserted in on a clear day you can see general motors that nader s criticisms were valid former ford and chrysler president lee iacocca said the corvair was unsafe iacocca an autobiography criticisms of the book the us department of transportation dot issued a press release dated august setting out the findings of nhtsa testing after the corvair had been out of production for more than three years the national highway traffic safety administration nhtsa had conducted a series of comparative tests in studying the handling of the corvair and four contemporary cars a ford falcon plymouth valiant volkswagen beetle renault dauphine along with a second generation corvair with revised suspension design the subsequent page report pb available from ntis reviewed a series of actual handling tests designed to evaluate the handling and stability under extreme conditions a review of national accident data compiled by insurance companies and traffic authorities for the cars in the test and a review of related general motorschevrolet internal letters memos tests reports etc regarding the corvair s handling nhtsa went on to contract a three person and competency of their tests this review panel then issued its own page report pb available from ntis which concluded that the corvair compares favorably with contemporary vehicles used in the tests the handling and stability performance of the corvair does not result in an abnormal potential for loss of control or rollover and it is at least as good as the performance of some contemporary vehicles both foreign and domestic social scientist thomas sowell argued in the vision of the anointed that nader was ignorant and dismissive of the tradeoff between safety and affordability according to sowell nader also did not pay much attention to the fact that motor vehicle death rates per million passenger miles fell over the years from in to in journalist david e davis in a article in automobile magazine criticized nader for purportedly focusing on the corvair while ignoring other contemporary vehicles with swingaxle rear suspensions including cars from porsche center for auto safety had published a book critical of the beetle furthermore motor trend magazine has noted handling problems with the s era mercedes sl gullwing journalist timothy noah claimed the car was nt significantly more dangerous than other american cars of its time citing both a government report and an independent report the car was not in fact appreciably less safe than a number of other cars on the market in the book was named by conservative publication human events as an honorable mention on its list of the most harmful books of the th and th centuries

 br typeselfpropelled howitzer weight tonnes lb the su from samokhodnaya ustanovka mm was a soviet selfpropelled howitzer or assault gun used during world war ii the number in the designation represents the caliber of the main armamenta mm ms howitzer the chassis was that of the t development history soviet high command became interested in assault guns following the success of german sturmgeschutz iii spgs assault guns had some advantages over tanks with turrets the lack of a turret made them cheaper to produce they could be built with a larger fighting compartment and could be fitted with bigger and more powerful weapons on a given chassis however assault guns could aim their cannons in high degree only by turning the entire vehicle and were thus less suited for close combat than tanks with turrets in april design bureaus were asked to develop several assault guns with various armament mm zis divisional field guns and mm m howitzers for infantry enemy strongholds a prototype assault gun armed with the mm howitzer and built on the german sturmgeschtz iii chassis was developed designated sg only of these were completed production was halted when the vehicle was found to be hard to maintain and judged to be unsuccessful simultaneously a spg based on the t medium tank was also developed initially the t s chassis was selected for the mm f gun this vehicle the u was created in summer at the design bureau of uztm uralmashzavod uralsky machine building factory by n w kurin and g f ksjunin it was a tank destroyer with the same armament as the t but because of the absence of a turret the vehicle was cm lower had thicker armour and was tonnes lighter it did not enter production uztm then worked on combining features of the u and the sg initial design work was completed between july and august the project emphasized minimizing modifications to the platform superstructure engine and transmission as the u and was armed with a new mm ms howitzer from f f pietrow s design bureau this vehicle also used the same gun bed cover and mountings as the sg to keep costs low and simplify production it had mm thick frontal armour the ms howitzer could be elevated or depressed between and and had of traverse the fiveman crew consisted of a driver gunner commander and two loaders on november the first u prototype was ready trials ran from november to december and uncovered various faults in the design including insufficient elevation a flawed shell transfer mechanism poor ventilation for the crew compartment and the fact that the commander had to assist in operating the gun which made him unable to successfully carry out his other duties the u entered service with the red army as the su later renamed su despite these faults production sus were based on an improved prototype built after trials were front armour to ease production modified layout of the fighting compartment the location of crew member stations and ammunition racks were changed fewer vision slots and a periscope for the commander the first production vehicles were completed before production history su production began in december with vehicles built that month the original plan for production beyond that point was to produce sus each month production continued until the summer of by which time a total of about sus had been built service history the first sus produced in december were sent to training centers and two new combat units the rd and th selfpropelled artillery regiments initially each of these mixed regiments consisted of two batteries with four sus each and four batteries with four su tank destroyers each each regiment had an additional su tank destroyer as a command vehicle it was planned to raise selfpropelled artillery regiments operating within armoured and mechanized corps in january the rd and th leningrad as part of the th army on january they saw combat for the first time in smierdny region after that it was decided sus should follow between m and m behind the attacking tanks sometimes this distance was shortened to between m and m the use of su tank destroyers together with sus proved unsuccessful based on combat experience the organization of selfpropelled artillery regiments was changed the new regimental organization consisted of two batteries of su tank destroyers and three of sus for a total of spgs in april the organization of selfpropelled artillery regiments was again changed separate regiments were created for su tank destroyers light selfpropelled artillery regiment and sus medium selfpropelled artillery regiment the medium selfpropelled artillery regiment consisted of four batteries of four sus each each regiment was also equipped with either an additional su or a t for the commander and a ba armoured car this organization remained in place until the beginning of when the su started to be and su tank destroyers the su proved effective in its intended role of direct fire on strongholds the massive concussion of the mm he round was reportedly enough to blow the turret off even a tiger i if a direct hit was scored at close range although longer range penetration against heavier german armor remained poor a trait shared with the larger mm howitzers the new bpa heat projectile was introduced in may however its primitive warhead design was only minimally more effective than brute concussive effects of the old he shell at close range at least one su was captured by the german army a small number of sus survived the war currently only one example remains on display in the kubinka tank museum variants the su had no variants that went into mass production the t chassis of the su was further adapted as part of the later su selfpropelled gun towards the end of the production run a prototype su was built with the same ball mantlet as the su as the su was being massproduced its design was being refined primarily with an eye to reduce production costs the ms armament proved poorly suited for purpose in spite of its prior recommendation by the gau rkka artillery committee the howitzer took a lot of space and required both commander and gunner to operate it in order to fire because of this in january work started on fitting the su with a different howitzer the prototype sum was built in april it featured a bigger fighting compartment as well as an individual driver s hatch the ms howitzer mounted on the floor of the vehicle was replaced by the more modern d howitzer a variant of u howitzer however the sum was not put into production due to a decision to proceed with the su instead suiii another attempt to create an improved su replacement took a su chassis and paired it with the mm d howitzer which was lighter and smaller than the u howitzer this was unsuccessful mechanism and its poor antitank capabilities subsequent wartime design work on mm selfpropelled howitzers was cancelled

 franois cabarrus or francisco cabarrs lalanne conde de cabarrs was a french adventurer and spanish financier life early life he was born in bayonne france where his father dominique cabarrus fourcade was a merchant and shipbuilder linked to a saga of basque seacaptains whalers and adventurers who settled in capbreton a town near bayonne coming from the navarre region of spain there is even a legend in capbreton it is still stated to this day in their tourist brochures that a certain captain cabarrus or gabarrus led a basque whaling expedition to the shores of presentday nova scotia in canada in the year years before columbus trip francois was sent to study in toulouse but was recalled to bayonne by his family due to certain amorous adventures and was sent by his father to spain to practice with one of his business correspondents named galabert he not only learned the business but also fell employer s daughter they settled in the town of carabanchel alto near madrid where maria antonia s grandfather had a soap factory their mansion in carabanchel was named maison st pierre in french and many years later this mansion and the lands surrounding it were incorporated into the manor lands of the count of montijo father of the empress eugenia de montijo however he soon began to take an active interest in public matters of the court in nearby madrid the age of enlightenment had reached madrid and king charles iii was favourable to reforms advocated by a circle of politicians including gaspar melchor de jovellanos count campomanes count floridablanca pedro pablo abarca de bolea count of aranda among these cabarrus became conspicuous especially in finance reforms and disgrace he originated a bank the banco de san carlos which is the precursor of today s bank of spain a company to trade with the south american colonies and with asia through and an agricultural and hydraulic project known as the canal de cabarrus which is the origin of today s canal de isabel ii supplying the water to the city of madrid in the northeast of the madrid community in the course of the jarama and within the municipal boundaries of the towns of torrelaguna patones torremocha del jarama uceda and caraquiz he was also involved in at least two other projects involved in the opening of navegable waterways which were never completed one was the canal del guadarrama which was supposed to open a navegable waterway from madrid to the ocean linking several river basins from the guadarrama river up to the guadalquivir river and from there to the sea several ruins of these canals are still visible in the guadarrama river basin area the other project involved the widening of the llobregat river in the province of barcelona in catalua in order to open up the llobregat river valley to shipping and thus give impulse to the future industrial region of catalua with all the on the lemaur brothers for the technical part of the projects he also probably took note of the canal du midi and the canal del languedoc built about a century earlier in france which had given the french such good results by making available a navegable waterway from the atlantic to the mediterranean without having to navigate around spain and avoiding the strait of gibraltar the impulsor of the canal del lanquedoc was pierre paul riquet count of caraman and greatgrandfather of joseph riquet also count of caraman and later prince of chimay and the last husband of teresa cabarrus galabert the family relationship between several members of the cabarrus family and the lesseps family also originary from bayonne one of whose most notable members was ferdinand de lesseps builder of the suez canal probably also influenced in this canal building impulse as one of the most influential members of the council of finance he had planned many reforms in that department when charles iii died and the reactionary administration of charles iv put taken an active part in reform were suspected and prosecuted cabarrus himself was accused of embezzlement and thrown into prison in the castle of batres a town near madrid under french domination after two years he was released created a count and employed in stately missions he would even have been sent to paris as spanish ambassador had not the french directory objected to him as being of french birth cabarrus took no part in the maneuvers through which charles iv was obliged to abdicate and make way for joseph bonaparte as king jose i of spain brother of napoleon bonaparte but his french birth and intimate knowledge of spanish affairs recommended him to the emperor as the fittest person for the difficult post of minister of finance which he held at his death he died in seville while on a trip accompanying joseph bonaparte and is buried in the cathedral of seville legacy due to the support he had given joseph bonaparte during his short reign in spain he was considered had already died when ferdinand vii recovered the throne his family was persecuted and his fortune and holdings were confiscated there is even a rumor that states that his remains were removed from his tomb in the cathedral of seville and thrown into the guadalquivir with all of the political turmoil of the following period the heritage he left his heirs was restored and confiscated several times depending on who would be governing in madrid his son heir and second conde de cabarrus domingo cabarrs galabert held several positions in government and was governor of the provinces of palencia and valladolid among other official posts his beautiful daughter teresa cabarrus galabert thrse tallien also madamme tallien afterwards countess of caraman and princess of chimay played a part in the later stages of the french revolution being named as notre dame de buon secours and notre dame de thermidor by her contemporaries one of his grandsons domingo cabarrus quilty married enriqueta kirkpatrick y grivegne sister of manuela kirkpatrick y emperor napoleon iii of france and of the duquesa de alba domingo cabarrus quilty died before his father domingo cabarrus galabert and therefore did not become the third count of cabarrus title that was inherited by his daughter paulina cabarrus kirkpatrick as third countess of cabarrus francisco cabarrus lalanne also acquired the title of viscount of rabouilhet from pedro pablo abarca de bolea count of aranda originally for his other son francisco cabarrus galabert but the early death of this son made him join both titles and up to today the present counts of cabarrus carry also the title of viscounts of rabouilhet the town of rabouilhet and its neighboring towns and countryside also included in the title deed are in the lanquedoc region of france his close friend francisco goya painted a full body portrait of him this portrait is currently exhibited in the bank of spain building in madrid notes 
 infobox aircraft begin infobox aircraft type the mcdonnell douglas md is a family of twinengine short to mediumrange singleaisle commercial jet airliners the md series were lengthened and updated from the dc the airliner family can seat from up to passengers depending on variant and seating configuration the md series was introduced into commercial service on october by swissair the series includes the md md md md and md these all have the same fuselage length except the shortened md the md series was followed into service in modified form by the md in and the mdboeing in design and development background douglas aircraft developed the dc in the s as a shortrange companion to their larger dc the dc was an allnew design using two rear fuselagemounted turbofan engines and a ttail the dc has a narrowbody fuselage design with fiveabreast seating and holds to passengers depending on seating arrangement and aircraft version the md was originally called the dc series and the dc super and entered service in the md series was then developed into the md entering service in the last variant of the family was the md which was renamed the boeing after mcdonnell douglas s merger with boeing in the dc family is one of the most successful jet airliners with a total of over units produced it ranks third behind the second place airbus a family with over produced and the first place boeing with over produced md series the md series is a midsize mediumrange airliner that was introduced in the design was the second generation of the dc with two rear fuselagemounted turbofan engines small highly efficient wings and a ttail the aircraft has distinctive fiveabreast seating in coach class it was a lengthened dc with a higher maximum takeoff weight mtow and a higher fuel capacity the aircraft series was designed for frequent shorthaul and seating arrangement the development of md series began in the s as a growth version of the dc series availability of new pratt amp whitney jtd higherbypass engines drove early studies including designs known as series series refanned super stretch and series the design effort focused on the series in august with the projected entry into service in the design was marketed as the dc series swissair launched the series in october with an order for plus an option for five the series featured a fuselage ftin m longer than the dc the dc wings were redesigned by adding sections at the wing root and tip for a larger wing the initial series first flew october it entered service in originally it was certified as a version of the dc but was changed to md in july as a marketing move new versions of the series were initially the certification was dc etc only the md was given an md certification as was the later md the md versions have cockpit avionics and aerodynamic upgrades along with the more powerful more efficient and quieter jtd series engines which are a significant upgrade over the smaller jtd and series the md series aircraft also have longer fuselages than their earlier dc counterparts as well as longer range some customers such as american airlines still refer to the planes in fleet documentation as super this model is still flown extensively by american airlines and delta air lines comparable airliners to the md series include the boeing and airbus a in a freighter version has been created by converting surplus passenger planes flight testing and certification the first md dc line number made its first flight on october test flying despite two aircraft substantially damaged in accidents was completed on august md or dc was certificated under an amendment to the faa type certificate for the dc the flighttesting leading up to certification had involved three aircraft accumulating a total of flying hours on flights the first delivery to launch customer swissair took place on september model designation as the md was not in effect a new aircraft it continues to be operated under an amendment to the original dc faa aircraft type certificate a similar case to the later md and boeing aircraft the type certificate issued to the aircraft manufacturer carries the aircraft model designations exactly as it appears on the manufacturer s application including use of hyphens or decimal points and should match what is stamped on the aircraft s data or nameplate what the manufacturer chooses to call an aircraft for marketing or promotional purposes is irrelevant to the airworthiness authorities the first amendment to the dc type certificate for the new md aircraft was applied as dc which approved on august amendments to the dc type certificate in mcdonnell douglas decided that the dc super would be designated the md instead of merely using the md prefix as a marketing symbol an application was made to again amend the type certificate to include the md md and md this change was dated march and the type certificate declared that although the md designator could be used in parentheses it must be accompanied by the official designation for example dc md all long beach aircraft in the md series thereafter had md md or md stamped on the aircraft nameplate although not certified until october mcdonnell douglas had already applied for models dc and dcf on february third derivative was similarly officially designated dc md although no nameplates were stamped dc for the md an application for a type certificate model amendment was made after the earlier changes so there never was a dc the faa s online aircraft registry database shows the dc and dc designations in existence but unused production the md was produced on a common line with the dc with which it shares its line number sequence after the delivery of dcs and mds mcdonnell douglas stopped dc production hence commencing with the th dcmd delivery an md for viasa in december all dcs produced were series smds in addition to the long beach california line a second assembly line was set up at shanghai where aircraft were to be built under license during md production had reached a peak of per month having been running at approximately per month since and was expected to continue at this rate in the near term mds were delivered in as a result of the decline in the air traffic and a slow market response to the md md production was reduced and aircraft were handed over in per month and aircraft were handed over md production ended in derivative designs the md was developed from the md series and is a ftm adjmid updated version of the md with a similar electronic flight instrument system efis glass cockpit and improved and quieter iae v turbofan engines the md program began in first flown in and entered commercial service in a number of other variants were proposed that never entered production one proposal was the mdx which was fitted with unducted fan turbofan engines previously an md was used as a testbed for unducted fan engines such as the general electric ge and the pratt amp whitneyallison dx the md was developed to replace early dc models then approaching years old the project completely overhauled the original dc into a modern airliner it is slightly longer than the dc and is powered by new rollsroyce br engines the md was renamed boeing after the md series has been used by airlines around the world major customers have included aerolneas

and trans world airlines due to the usage of the aging jtd engine the md is not fuel efficient compared to the a or newer models it burns usgal l of jet fuel per hour on a typical flight while the larger boeing burns only usgal l per hour reduction starting in the s many airlines began to retire the type alaska airlines tipping point in using the was the per gallon price of jet the airline stated that a typical los angelesseattle flight would cost less using a boeing than the same flight using an md american airlines has announced plans to retire at least mds and has accelerated delivery of new s while midwest airlines announced on july that it would retire all of its mds used primarily on routes to the west coast by the fall the jtd s comparatively lower maintenance costs due to simpler design help narrow the fuel cost gap variants md the md or as it was originally known the dc super or dc was the first production model of the md and apart from the md the differences

them from the other unionist parties such as the ulster unionist party and the democratic unionist party which are ideologically conservative following an intraloyalist feud between the uvf and

 gabriel october today commonlyif incorrectlyknown as gabriel prosser was a literate enslaved blacksmith who planned a large slave rebellion in the richmond area in the summer of information regarding the revolt was leaked prior to its execution and he and twentyfive followers were taken captive and hanged in punishment in reaction virginia and other state legislatures passed restrictions on free blacks as well as prohibiting the education assembly and hiring out of slaves to restrict their chances to learn and to plan similar rebellions in the city of richmond passed a resolution in honor of gabriel on the nd anniversary of the rebellion in governor tim kaine gave gabriel and his followers an informal pardon in recognition that his cause the end of slavery and the furtherance of equality for all peoplehas prevailed in the light of history life and background born into slavery at brookfield a tobacco plantation in henrico county virginia gabriel had two brothers solomon the owner as gabriel and solomon were trained as blacksmiths their father may have had that skill gabriel was also taught to read and write by the mids as gabriel neared the age of twenty he stood six feet two or three inches high his long and bony face well made was marred by the loss of his two front teeth and two or three scars on his head white people as well as blacks regarded the literate young man as a fellow of great courage and intellect above his rank in life gabriel s rebellion gabriel planned the revolt during the spring and summer of on august gabriel intended to lead slaves into richmond but the rebellion was postponed because of rain the slaves owners had suspicion of the uprising and two slaves told their owner mosby sheppard about the plans he warned virginia s governor james monroe who called out the state militia gabriel escaped downriver to norfolk for the reward offered by the state that slave did not receive the full reward gabriel was returned to richmond for questioning but he did not submit gabriel his two brothers and other slaves were hanged historiography the historian douglas egerton offered a new perspective on gabriel in his book gabriel s rebellion the virginia slave conspiracies of amp he based this on extensive primary research from surviving contemporary documents egerton found that gabriel was a skilled blacksmith who was mostly hired out by his owner in richmond foundries hiring out was the way that slaveholders earned money from their slaves whom they needed less for labor as they had reduced the cultivation of tobacco as a crop the market for tobacco was depressed but virginia planters also had to deal with depleted soils because of the crop slaveholders leased skilled slaves for jobs available in virginia industries egerton concluded that gabriel would have been stimulated and challenged at the foundries by interacting they hoped thomas jefferson s republicans would liberate them from domination by the wealthy federalist merchants of the city in that environment gabriel also would have heard about the uprising and struggles of slaves in saint domingue egerton believed that gabriel had two white coconspirators at least one of whom was identified as a french national he found reports that documentary evidence of their identity or involvement was sent to governor monroe but never produced in court and suggests that it was to protect the jefferson s democraticrepublican party egerton noted that gabriel did not order his followers to kill all whites except methodists quakers and frenchmen rather he instructed them not to kill any people in those three categories during this period methodists and quakers were active missionaries for manumission and many slaves had been freed since the end of the revolution in part due to their work the french were considered allies as they had abolished slavery in their caribbean colonies in gabriel initially escaped on a ship owned by a former overseer who repeatedly overlooked information as to gabriel s true identity a slave hired out to work on the ship turned in gabriel seeking the reward so that he could purchase his own freedom the state paid him only not the advertised influence gabriel s uprising was notable not because of its resultsthe rebellion was quelled before it could beginbut because of its potential for mass chaos and widespread violence in virginia in percent of the total population were slaves they were concentrated on plantations in the tidewater area and west of richmond no reliable numbers existed regarding slave and free black conspirators most likely the number of men actively involved numbered only several hundred from to the number of slaves freed in the upper south had grown markedly as some slaveholders were inspired to free slaves by the american revolution and its ideals methodists and quakers especially worked to convince slaveholders to manumit slaves the percentage of free blacks as part of the black population rose from percent by by that time virginia s free blacks numbered or percent of the total black population by nearly threequarters of delaware s blacks were free some virginia slaveholders were nervous about the sharp increase in the number of free blacks in the slave state they were uneasy as well by the violent aftermath of the french revolution and the uprising of slaves in the s in saint domingue in france granted social equality to free people of color and in french revolutionary commissioners in saintdomingue granted freedom to all the slaves whites and free people of color some of whom were also slaveholders emigrated as refugees to the us during the years of upheaval now known as the haitian revolution they added to the population of free people of color in charleston richmond and new orleans in addition slaveholders brought thousands of ethnic african slaves with them especially adding to the african population of new orleans in the black and mulatto revolutionaries succeeded in gaining freedom gabriel had been able to plan the rebellion because of relatively lax rules of movement for slaves between plantations and the city as so many had been hired out and others traveled to and from the city on errands for their masters after the rebellion many slaveholders greatly restricted the slaves rights of travel when not working fears of a slave revolt regularly swept major slaveholding communities prior to the rebellion virginia law had allowed education of slaves to read and write and training of slaves in skilled trades after the rebellion and after a second conspiracy was discovered in among enslaved boatmen along the appomattox and roanoke rivers the virginia assembly in banned hiring out of slaves and required freed blacks to leave the state within months or face reenslavement free blacks had to petition the legislature to stay in the state and were often aided in that goal by white friends or allies in addition to the catalyst of gabriel s rebellion the law against residency people of color in virginia as noted above in manumission of slaves after the american revolution the very existence of free blacks challenged the conditions of slave states legacy and honors gabriel s rebellion served as an important example of slaves taking action to gain freedom in the city of richmond adopted a resolution to commemorate the nd anniversary of the execution of the patriot and freedom fighter gabriel whose death stands as a symbol for the determination and struggle of slaves to obtain freedom justice and equality as promised by the fundamental principles of democratic governments of the commonwealth of virginia and the united states of america in the fall of the virginia state conference of the naacp requested gov tim kaine pardon gabriel in recognition of his contributions to the civil rights struggle of african americans and all peoples on august governor kaine informally pardoned gabriel and his coconspirators kaine said that gabriel s motivation had been his devotion to the ideals of the american noted that gabriel s causethe end of slavery and the furtherance of equality of all peoplehas prevailed in the light of history and added that it is important to acknowledge that history favorably regards gabriel s cause while consigning legions who sought to keep him and others in chains to be forgotten the pardon was informal because it was posthumous representation in other media arna bontemps wrote black thunder a historical novel based on gabriel s rebellion songs tim barry a singersongwriter from richmond wrote and performed prosser s gabriel for the album th amp stonewall it chronicles the events of gabriel s life focusing on the attempted revolution gabriel is mentioned in public enemy s song prophets of rage gabriel is the hero of a cleverly subversive sea shanty recorded some forty years after events in chapter of frederick marryat s book poor jack in the book the shanty to its subject as general gabriel and claims a bounty of was put on his head after being betrayed and captured he is heavily loaded with chains and a troop of light horse is appointed to guard him he is taken before the governor whose name is slightingly alluded to monroe he set up for governor the whole country turns out to see him gabriel makes a last speech in which he proclaims his own right name and that he is here today and gone tomorrow i did not come for to stay for ever he is taken to the gallows in a wagon drawn by four grey horses commenting with heavy irony that the execution was a very sad loss to major prosser the verse concludes by describing gabriel as the man who almost ruined old virginny 
 in the mathematical discipline of linear algebra the schur decomposition or schur triangulation named after issai schur is a matrix decomposition statement the schur decomposition reads as follows if a is a n amptimes n square matrix with complex entries then a can be expressed as math a q u q math where q is a unitary matrix so that its inverse q sup sup is also the conjugate transpose q of q and u is an upper triangular matrix which is called a schur form of a since u is similar to a it has the same multiset of eigenvalues and since it is triangular those eigenvalues are the diagonal entries of u of a invariant subspaces v sub sub v sub sub v sub n sub c sup n sup and that there exists an ordered orthonormal basis for the standard hermitian form of c sup n sup such that the first i basis vectors span v sub i sub for each i occurring in the nested sequence phrased somewhat differently the first part says that a linear operator j on a complex finitedimensional vector space stabilizes a complete flag v sub sub v sub n sub proof a constructive proof for the schur decomposition is as follows every operator a on a complex finitedimensional vector space has an eigenvalue amplambda sub let v sub amplambda sub sup sup be its orthogonal complement it is clear that with respect to this orthogonal decomposition a has matrix representation one can pick here any orthonormal bases z sub sub and z sub sub spanning v sub amplambda sub and v sub amplambda sub sup sup respectively math beginbmatrix z amp z endbmatrix a beginbmatrixz amp zendbmatrix beginbmatrix lambda ilambda amp a amp a endbmatrix beginmatrix vlambda oplus vlambdaperp endmatrix rightarrow beginmatrix vlambda oplus vlambdaperp endmatrix math where i sub amplambda sub is the identity operator on v sub amplambda sub the above matrix would be uppertriangular except for the a sub sub block but exactly the same procedure can be applied to the submatrix a sub sub viewed sub sup sup and its submatrices continue this way n times thus the space c sup n sup will be exhausted and the procedure has yielded the desired result the above argument can be slightly restated as follows let amplambda be an eigenvalue of a corresponding to some eigenspace v sub amplambda sub a induces an operator t on the quotient space c sup n sup modulo v sub amplambda sub this operator is precisely the a sub sub submatrix from above as before t would have an eigenspace say w sub ampmu sub c sup n sup modulo v sub amplambda sub notice the preimage of w sub ampmu sub under the quotient that contains v sub amplambda sub continue this way until the resulting quotient space has dimension then the successive preimages of the eigenspaces found at each step form a flag that a stabilizes notes although every square matrix has a schur decomposition in general this decomposition is not unique for example the eigenspace v sub amplambda sub can have dimension in which case any orthonormal basis for v sub amplambda sub would lead to the desired result write the triangular matrix u as u d n where d is diagonal and n is strictly upper triangular and thus a nilpotent matrix the diagonal matrix d contains the eigenvalues of a in arbitrary order hence its frobenius norm squared is a while the frobenius norm of a squared is the sum of the squared singular values of a the nilpotent part n is generally not unique either but its frobenius norm is uniquely determined by a just because the frobenius norm of a is equal to the frobenius norm of u d n it is clear that if a is a normal matrix then u from its schur decomposition must be a diagonal matrix and the column vectors of q are the eigenvectors of a therefore the schur decomposition extends the spectral decomposition in particular if a is positive definite the schur decomposition of a its spectral decomposition and its singular value decomposition coincide a of matrices can be simultaneously triangularized ie there exists a unitary matrix q such that for every a sub i sub in the given family q a sub i sub q is upper triangular this can be readily deduced from the above proof take element a from a sub i sub and again consider an eigenspace v sub a sub then v sub a sub is invariant under all matrices in a sub i sub therefore all matrices in a sub i sub must share one common eigenvector in v sub a sub induction then proves the claim as a corollary we have that every commuting family of normal matrices can be simultaneously diagonalized in the infinite dimensional setting not every bounded operator on a banach space has an invariant subspace however the uppertriangularization of an arbitrary operator on a complex banach space has a nest of closed invariant subspaces computation schur decomposition of a given matrix is known to be numerically computed by qr algorithm or its variants in other words the roots of the characteristic polynomial corresponding to the matrix are not necessarily computed ahead in order to obtain its schur decomposition conversely qr algorithm can be used to compute the roots of any given characteristic polynomial by finding the schur decomposition of its companion matrix similarly qr algorithm is used to compute the eigenvalues of any given matrix which are the diagonal entries of the upper triangular matrix of the schur decomposition see the nonsymmetric eigenproblems section in lapack users guide applications

 deathplace london harriet cohen cbe december november was a british pianist biography harriet cohen was born in london and studied piano at the royal academy of music under tobias matthay having won the ada lewis scholarship at the age of followed by the sterndale bennett prize in she made her debut at a chappell s sunday concert at the queen s hall a year later her first major appearance was in when she appeared at the wigmore hall in a joint recital with the tenor john coates she became particularly associated with contemporary british music giving the world premiere of ralph vaughan williams piano concerto which was written for her and recording edward elgar s piano quintet with the stratton quartet under the composer s supervision a number of composers wrote music specifically for her including john ireland bla bartk ernest bloch and e j moeran and particularly sir arnold bax cohen s lover who wrote most of his david lean s film version of oliver twist he also composed concertino for left hand for her after she lost the use of her right hand in the last six pieces in the collection mikrokosmos by bartk are dedicated to her harriet cohen dedicated an important effort to the performance of the tudor composers at a time when this was unusual and gave recitals of works by william byrd and orlando gibbons and also of henry purcell she was considered one of the finest performers of j s bach s keyboard music winning outstanding praise from the musicologist alfred einstein pablo casals also invited her to play bach with his orchestra at barcelona and wilhelm furtwngler extended a similar invitation on hearing her in switzerland she gave the first allbach recital at the queen s hall in she also cultivated spanish music and gave the second performance of manuel de falla s nights in the gardens of spain a work an early exponent of music of the soviet union in britain and visited russia in to broadcast from moscow and leningrad including works by shostakovich kabalevsky and leonid polovinkin these composers later sent her further compositions cohen s influence went well beyond that of a musician she became strongly associated in the s with publicising the plight of german and austrian jews and even played a concert with the scientist albert einstein alfred s cousin in to raise funds to bring jewish scientists out of germany she became a close friend of eleanor roosevelt and ramsay macdonald as well as the first president of israel chaim weizmann cohen was also a close friend of many leading figures of the time these included not only musicians such as jean sibelius ralph vaughan williams sir edward elgar and sir william walton but also novelists such as arnold bennett george bernard shaw h g wells and d h lawrence as well as politicians or entrepreneurs such as max beaverbrook and leslie viscount runciman cohen her day she was vicepresident of the women s freedom league and was for several years associated with the jewish national fund and the palestine conservatoire of music at jerusalem cohen was appointed a commander of the order of the british empire cbe in she died in london the harriet cohen international music award was introduced in her honour in in january dearest tania a wordsandmusic programme telling the story of cohen premiered written by duncan honeybourne and performed with actress louisa clein efforts for refugees from nazism harriet cohen met the american journalist dorothy thompson in on her first tour of america a tour which took in new york washington and the library of congress and chicago thus finally establishing a name for herself on the international stage it was a meeting that was to change cohen s life and awake her jewish consciousness in harriet cohen traveled to vienna to play a number of concerts staying with dorothy thompson both jewish and nonjewish who were pouring into the city from germany thompson and cohen were to correspond about the plight of jewish refugees in austria and germany cohen was then able to pass on information from thompson directly to the british prime minister ramsay macdonald who was at this time her intimate friend cohen met thompson every time she went to america thereafter from cohen committed herself to work in britain and the united states on behalf of refugees this would result in a concert in america with albert einstein in to raise funds to bring jewish scientists out of germany in ramsay macdonald warned cohen not to travel through germany because the british government would not be able to provide immunity for her soon after adolf hitler passed the nuremberg laws totally excluding jews from public life harriet cohen had met albert einstein in germany in when she had afternoon tea at his house at the time einstein disclosed that he played the violin and said that one day they should play he had fled germany in cohen would often visit him in oxford england where he settled for a short time in after einstein moved to usa harriet cohen did finally play that duet concert with einstein to raise funds to bring jewish scientists out of nazi germany cohen and einstein remained friends thereafter and he referred to her as the beloved piano witch it was not until when she first met chaim weizmann the future first president of israel that she began to support the zionist cause and a jewish homeland cohen s visit to palestine extended her reputation there both as a concert pianist and politically she argued with british and jewish officials to try to get jewish refugees admitted on ships from nazi germany rather than be returned once almost precipitating an international incident harriet cohen believed passionately in a jewish homeland but with justice to the arab palestinians she survived two assassination attempts during her trip to palestine it was when cohen was having dinner with weizmann government s white paper to limit jewish immigration to britain to just people a year blanche dugdale lord balfour s niece a fellow diner prophetically said in an agonised voice what will happen to the millions fleeing from hitler russian composers the visit in spring by cohen to the soviet union was another major milestone in her career it was the country from which her ancestors had fled years earlier not only was cohen bringing british music to the ussr by playing pieces by vaughan williams bax bliss and ireland she also performed shostakovitch s preludes kabalevsky s sonatina and the soviet premiere of leonid polovinkin s suite from manuscript thereafter she took their music all over europe and was acclaimed as the first musician outside the ussr to learn shostakovitch s twentyfour preludes which he composed in and her contribution in bringing to the attention of the world the work of unknown russian composers is often forgotten relationship with sir arnold bax one love love without strife or fret or circumstances just the praise to you my mouth longs for your soft mouth these are just two quotes from the love letters between sir arnold bax and harriet cohen harriet cohen s love affair with bax lasted for over forty years until he died in it was bax who gave harriet cohen the name tania by which she was affectionately known by close friends and family their passionate affair started in when she was and he was although they had met two years earlier bax was creatively inspired by cohen and in wrote for her within days three pieces including the princess s rose garden the maiden with the daffodil and in the vodka shop some believe that their time together inspired his famous tonepoem tintagel in which he may have in part expressed his anguish at the dream their world denied the affair led to bax s ultimate decision to leave his wife and children in but they a divorce neither could their relationship be recognised publicly because of the social climate of their generation cohen possibly became pregnant with bax s child in but if she did she lost the child in an early miscarriage harriet cohen s recently published letters reveal the turbulence and anguish of the relationship cohen always claimed that the long standing affair denied her becoming a dame but this is not substantiated through the s their relationship became less passionate as her international career flourished and bax sought a quieter haven with his gentler mistress mary gleaves nonetheless the affair continued and they remained close as private letters between cohen and bax reveal in for example they travelled together to stockholm and helsinki and met jean sibelius a composer who had long influenced bax s music on september bax s wife elsa elsita died cohen probably expected to finally marry bax after an affair that had now lasted years events were to unfold quite differently bax did a fact she was to discover in may whilst recording the music that bax had written for the film oliver twist when elsa s will was published a greater shock followed when bax revealed his secret twentyyear affair with gleaves and his intention not to remarry this was at a time when cohen was losing prominence in britain and in may cohen had an accident with a tray of glasses which severed the artery in her right hand thus restricting her performing career for some years when bax died on october cohen was deeply affected by his death his will bequeathed half of his interest from his literary and musical compositions to cohen for life and half to mary gleaves after their death his royalties and estate were to pass to his children cohen also kept the london property that bax had bought for her throughout cohen s life bax had financially assisted her other relationships the british prime minister ramsay macdonald is one of her during the period when he was prime minister from to at a time of economic instability and depression which saw the rise of nazism and fascism in europe it was rumoured that macdonald and cohen became lovers their letters reflect a closeness and she often visited him alone at downing street and his home in hampstead certainly many people did believe they were lovers and cohen was often referred to as the old man s darling cohen was also close to max beaverbrook the founder of express newspapers and an important entrepreneur of the day cohen was introduced to the business tycoon max beaverbrook by arnold bennett in beaverbrook was instantly charmed by cohen and invited her to dine regularly with him from and through him met lord rothermere and lloyd george beaverbrook and cohen often met at her house as noted in her autobiography a bundle of time he was besotted with her in his own way and showered her regularly with a hundred or more roses ralph his letters to her reveal a flirtatious relationship regularly reminding her of the thousands of kisses that she owed him he was a regular visitor to her home and often attended cohen s little parties that she held for her friends she loved entertaining and inviting famous and prominent people cohen premiered vaughan williams hymn tune prelude in which he dedicated to her she later introduced the piece throughout europe during her concert tours in she then premiered his piano concerto in c major a work which was once again dedicated to her cohen was given the exclusive right to play the piece for a period of time harriet cohen first played for edward elgar in at a party when she was they became close friends and this lasted until his death in in cohen organised a concert in his honour under the patronage of the king and queen undoubtedly elgar doted on cohen and closely followed her career giving her constant support under elgar s direction she made quartet elgar had only sketched it but he gave the short score to harriet for the recording h g wells was part of harriet cohen s circle of male admirers from the s after wells parted from writer and novelist rebecca west it is well known that wells took up brief liaisons with other women harriet cohen is highly likely to have been one of these as various letters from her private collection and interviews suggest she had a magnetic personality and beauty which wells found irresistible d h lawrence became a close friend of harriet cohen s it was clear already in that this friendship had created some tensions between cohen and arnold bax bax protested at cohen s closeness to lawrence she told lawrence that they would have to meet secretly in demonstrative mood that day lawrence scrawled across her autograph book the door closed a short time later cohen contracted tuberculosis possibly from lawrence who died of the disease in cohen to bax always denied any sexual relationship with lawrence and cohen remained good friends and were regularly seeing each other as least as part of a group of friends up until his death they would often talk together about the music of their common friend the musician elgar cohen was introduced to william walton in by arnold bennett they carried on a rather flirtatious friendship which cohen described in her autobiography as stormy but delightful she wrote that the irritation they often felt for each other did not lessen the underlying affection cohen championed walton s music both at home and abroad especially in the late s and early s on assigning to cohen the premier performance of his sinfonia concertante in he said to her i know it will be in safe hands rosa newmarch introduced harriet cohen to jean sibelius in london and they spent some time together in the summer cohen travelled in finland with arnold bax and they had long discussions with sibelius both in helsinki and ainola sibelius even wrote her the opening chord of his eight symphony which was probably with arnold bennett arnold bennett dear friend and mentor of my youth died on march wrote cohen in her autobiography arnold bennett was one of cohen s closest friends and responsible for introducing her to many of her new friends bennett introduced cohen to william walton and max beaverbrook in cohen was devastated on bennett s sudden death from typhoid fever on march she had spoken to him only a few days earlier when he had told her how unwell he was feeling it was bennett who had kept cohen on the rails for over a decade giving her honest blunt necessary advice cohen listened to him and respected his judgement he had guided her when she was in her s when her reputation and fame was growing both at home and abroad cohen in novels harriet cohen was portrayed in three novels d h lawrence based the

 a flashtube also called a flashlamp is an electric arc lamp designed to produce extremely intense incoherent fullspectrum white light for very short durations flashtubes are made of a length of glass tubing with electrodes at either end and are filled with a gas that when triggered ionizes and conducts a high voltage pulse to produce the light flashtubes are used mostly for photographic purposes but are also employed in scientific medical and industrial applications construction the lamp comprises a hermetically sealed glass tube which is filled with a noble gas usually xenon and electrodes to carry electrical current to the gas additionally a high voltage power source is necessary to energize the gas a charged capacitor is usually used for this purpose so as to allow very speedy delivery of very high electrical current when the lamp is triggered glass envelopes the glass envelope is most commonly a thin tube often made of fused quartz borosilicate or pyrex which may be straight including helical u shape and circular to surround a camera lens for shadowless photographyring flashes in some applications the emission of ultraviolet light is undesired whether due to production of ozone damage to laser rods degradation of plastics or other detrimental effects in these cases a doped fused silica is used doping with titanium dioxide can provide different cutoff wavelengths on the ultraviolet side but the material suffers from solarization it is often used in medical and sunray lamps and some nonlaser lamps a better alternative is a ceriumdoped quartz it does not suffer from solarization and has higher efficiency as part of the absorbed ultraviolet is reradiated as visible via fluorescence its cutoff is at about nm conversely when ultraviolet is called for a synthetic quartz is used as the envelope it is the most expensive of the materials but it is not susceptible to solarization and its cutoff is at nm the power level of the lamps is rated in wattsarea cooling of the electrodes and the lamp envelope is of high importance at high power levels air cooling is sufficient for lower average power levels high power lamps are cooled with a liquid typically by flowing demineralized water through a tube in which the lamp is encased watercooled lamps will generally have the glass shrunk around the electrodes to provide a direct thermal conductor between them and the cooling water the cooling medium should flow also across the entire length of the lamp and electrodes high average power or continuouswave arc lamps must have the water flow across the ends of the lamp and across the exposed ends of the electrodes as well so the deionized water is used to prevent a short circuit above wcm sup sup forced air cooling is required liquid cooling if in a confined space liquid cooling is generally necessary above wcm sup sup thinner walls can survive higher averagepower loads due to lower mechanical strain across the thickness of the material which is caused by a eg mm thick doped quartz has limit of wcm sup sup mm thick one has limit of wcm sup sup for this reason thinner glass is often used for continuouswave arclamps thicker materials can generally handle more impact energy from the shock wave that a shortpulsed arc can generate so quartz as much as mm thick is often used in the construction of flashtubes the material of the envelope provides another limit for the output power mm thick fused quartz has a limit of wcm sup sup synthetic quartz of same thickness can run up to wcm sup sup aging lamps require some derating due to increased energy absorption in the glass due to solarization and sputtered deposits electrodes and seals the electrodes protrude into each end of the tube and are sealed to the glass using a few different methods ribbon seals use thin strips of molybdenum foil bonded directly to the glass which are very durable but are solder seals bond the glass to the electrode with a solder for a very strong mechanical seal but are limited to low temperature operation most common in laser pumping applications is the rod seal where the rod of the electrode is wetted with another type of glass and then bonded directly to a quartz tube this seal is very durable and capable of withstanding very high temperature and currents the seal and the glass must have the same coefficient of expansion for low electrode wear the electrodes are usually made of tungsten which has the highest melting point of any metal to handle the thermionic emission of electrons cathodes are often made from porous tungsten filled with a barium compound which gives low work function the structure of cathode has to be tailored for the application anodes are usually made from pure tungsten or when good machinability is required lanthanumalloyed tungsten and are often machined to provide extra surface area to cope with power loading dc arc lamps often have a cathode with from the glass and to control temperature flashtubes usually have a cathode with a flattened radius to reduce the incidence of hot spots and decrease sputter caused by peak currents which may be in excess of amperes electrode design is also influenced by the average power at high levels of average power care has to be taken to achieve sufficient cooling of the electrodes while anode temperature is of lower importance overheating the cathode can greatly reduce the lamp s life expectancy gases and fill pressure depending on the size type and application of the flashtube gas fill pressures may range from a few kilopascals to hundreds of kilopascals atmospheres or tens to thousands of torr generally the higher the pressure the greater the output efficiency xenon is used mostly because of its good efficiency converting nearly of electrical energy into light krypton on the other hand is only about efficient but at low currents is a better match to the absorption is the amount of gas behind the electrodes or the dead volume a higher dead volume leads to a lower pressure increase during operation operation the electrodes of the lamp are usually connected to a capacitor which is charged to a relatively high voltage generally between and volts using a step up transformer and a rectifier the gas however exhibits extremely high resistance and the lamp will not conduct electricity until the gas is ionized once ionized or triggered a spark will form between the electrodes allowing the capacitor to discharge the sudden surge of electric current quickly heats the gas to a plasma state where electrical resistance becomes very low there are several methods of triggering external triggering external triggering is the most common method of operation especially for photographic use the electrodes are charged to a voltage high enough to respond to triggering but below the lamp s selfflash threshold an extremely high voltage pulse usually between applied directly to or very near the glass envelope watercooled flashtubes sometimes apply this pulse directly to the cooling water and often to the housing of the unit as well so care must be taken with this type of system the short high voltage pulse creates a rising electrostatic field which ionizes the gas inside the tube the capacitance of the glass couples the trigger pulse into the envelope where it exceeds the breakdown voltage of the gas surrounding one or both of the electrodes forming spark streamers the streamers propagate via capacitance along the glass at a speed of centimeter in nanoseconds kms a trigger pulse must have a long enough duration to allow one streamer to reach the opposite electrode or erratic triggering will result the triggering can be enhanced by applying the trigger pulse to a reference plane which may be in the form of a metal band or reflector affixed to the glass a conductive paint or a thin wire capacitor voltage is greater than the voltage drop between the cathode and the anode when the internal spark streamers bridge the electrodes the capacitor will discharge through the ionized gas heating the xenon to a high enough temperature for the emission light series triggering series triggering is more common in high powered watercooled flashtubes such as those found in lasers the high voltage leads of the triggertransformer are connected to the flashtube in series one lead to an electrode and the other to the capacitor the trigger pulse forms a spark inside the lamp without exposing the trigger voltage to the outside of the lamp the advantages are better insulation more reliable triggering and an arc that tends to develop well away from the glass but at a much higher cost the series triggering transformer also acts as an inductor this helps to control the flash duration but prevents the circuit from being used in very fast discharge applications the triggering can generally take place with a lower voltage at the triggertransfromer becomes part of the flash circuit and couples the triggering circuit to the flash energy therefore because the triggertransformer has very low impedance the transformer triggering circuit and silicon controlled rectifier scr must be able to handle very high peak currents often in excess of amps simmer voltage triggering simmer voltage triggering is the least common method in this technique the capacitor voltage is not initially applied to the electrodes but instead a high voltage spark streamer is maintained between the electrodes the high current from the capacitor is delivered to the electrodes using a thyristor or a spark gap this type of triggering is used mainly in very fast rise time systems typically those that discharge in the microsecond regime such as used in high speed stopmotion photography or dye lasers the simmering spark streamer causes the arc to develop in the exact center of the lamp increasing the lifetime dramatically if external triggering is used the spark streamers may still be in through the tube causing wall ablation or in extreme cases cracking or even explosion of the lamp however because very short pulses often call for very high voltage and low capacitance keeping the current density from rising too high some microsecond flashtubes are triggered by simply overvolting that is by applying a voltage to the electrodes which is much higher than the lamp s selfflash threshold using a spark gap often a combination of simmer voltage and overvolting is used prepulse techniques very rapid risetimes are often achieved using a prepulse technique this method is performed by delivering a small flash through the lamp just before the main flash this flash is of much lower energy than the main flash typically less than and depending on the pulse duration is delivered just a few thousandths to a few millionths of a second before the main flash the prepulse heats the gas leaving a good quantity of ionized particles to be used by the main flash this wave and makes less noise during operation vastly increasing the lifetime of the lamp it is especially effective on very fast discharge applications allowing the arc to expand faster and better fill the tube it is very often used with simmer voltage and sometimes with series triggering but rarely used with external triggering prepulse techniques are most commonly used in the pumping of dye lasers greatly increasing the conversion efficiency however it has also been shown to increase the efficiency of other lasers with longer fluorescence lifetimes allowing longer pulses such as ndyag or titanium sapphire by creating pulses with almost square waveforms ablative flashtubes ablative flashtubes are triggered by underpressurizing ablative flashtubes are typically constructed using quartz tubing and one or both electrodes hollowed out allowing a vacuum pump to be attached to control the gas pressure the electrodes of the lamp are connected to a charged capacitor and then the gas is vacuumed from the lamp when the gas reaches a low enough pressure often just a low pressures the efficiency of the flash would normally be very low however because of the low pressure the particles have room to accelerate to very high speeds and the magnetic forces expand the arc so that the bulk of its pasma becomes concentrated at the surface bombarding the glass the bombardment ablates vaporizes large amounts of quartz from the inner wall this ablation creates a sudden violent increase in the internal pressure of the lamp increasing the efficiency of the flash to very high levels the ablation however causes extensive wear to the lamp weakening the glass and they typically need replacement after a very short lifetime ablative flashtubes need to be refilled and vacuumed to the proper pressure for each flash therefore they can not be used for very highrepetition applications also this usually precludes the use of very expensive gases like krypton or xenon the most common gas used in an ablative flashtube is air although sometimes cheap argon is also used the heat from transferring to the glass but the flashes can often be shorter than a normal lamp of comparative size the flash from a single ablative flashtube can also be more intense than multiple lamps for these reasons the most common use for the lamps is for the pumping of dye lasers variable pulse width control in addition an insulatedgate bipolar transistor igbt can be connected in series with both the trigger transformer and the lamp making adjustable flash durations possible an igbt used for this purpose must be rated for a high pulsed current so as to avoid overcurrent damage to the semiconductor junction this type of system is used frequently in high average power laser systems and can produce pulses ranging from microseconds to over milliseconds it can be used with any of the triggering techniques like external and series and can produce square wave pulses it can even be used with simmer voltage to produce a modulated continuous wave output with repetition rates over hertz several kilowatts of average power output can be obtained electrical requirements the electrical requirements for a flashtube can vary depending on the desired results the usual method once maximum power and the safe amount of operating energy is determined is to pick a current density that will emit the desired spectrum and let the lamp s resistance determine the necessary combination of voltage and capacitance to produce it the resistance in flashtubes varies greatly depending on pressure shape dead volume current density time and flash duration and therefore is usually referred to as impedance the most common symbol used for lamp impedance is k sub o sub which is expressed as ohms amps sup sup k sub o sub is determined by the internal diameter arc length and gas type of the lamp and to a lesser extent by fill pressure the resistance in flashtubes is not constant but quickly drops as current density increases in goncz showed that square root of current density as the arc develops the lamp experiences a period of negative resistance causing the resistance to decrease as the current increases this occurs until the plasma comes into contact with the inner wall when this happens the voltage becomes proportional to the square root of current and the resistance in the plasma becomes stable for the remainder of the flash it is this value which is defined as k sub o sub however as the arc develops the gas expands and calculations for k sub o sub do not take into account the dead volume which leads to a lower pressure increase therefore any calculation of k sub o sub is merely an approximation of lamp impedance output spectrum xenon a xenon flash lamp is a gasdischarge lamp that contains xenon gas these lamps have three leads an anode a cathode and a triggervoltage lead when a certain voltage is applied to the trigger lead xenon gas ionizes and displays a bright voltage is applied across the anode and cathode leads xenon gas will not ionize the use of a xenon flash lamp may be suitable for photographing or lightning projects as with all ionized gases xenon flashtubes emit light in various spectral lines this is the same phenomenon that gives neon signs their characteristic color however neon signs emit red light because of extremely low current densities when compared to those seen in flashtubes which favors spectral lines of longer wavelengths higher current densities tend to favor shorter wavelengths the light from xenon in a neon sign likewise is rather violet the spectrum emitted by flashtubes is far more dependent on current density than on the fill pressure or gas type low current densities produce spectral line emission against a faint background of continuous radiation xenon has many spectral lines in the uv blue green red and ir portions of the spectrum low current densities produce a greenishblue flash indicating the absence of significant yellow or orange lines at be directed into the invisible ir spectral lines around and nm low current densities for flashtubes are generally less than acm sup sup higher current densities begin to produce continuum emission spectral lines are less dominant as light is produced across the spectrum usually peaking or centered on a certain wavelength optimum output efficiency in the visual range is obtained at a density that favors greybody radiation an arc that produces mostly continuum emission but is still mostly transparent to its own light for xenon greybody radiation is centered near green and produces the right combination for white light greybody radiation is produced at densities above acm sup sup current densities that are very high approaching acm sup sup tend to favor blackbody radiation as current densities become even higher xenon s output spectrum will begin to settle on that of a blackbody radiator with a color temperature of kelvins a rather skyblue shade of white blackbody radiation from within the arc can be absorbed before reaching the surface impairing output efficiency due to its high efficient white output xenon is used extensively for photographic applications despite its great expense in lasers spectral line emission is usually favored as these lines tend to better match absorption lines of the lasing media krypton is also occasionally used although it is even more expensive at low current densities krypton s spectral line output in the nearir range is better matched to the absorption profile of neodymium based laser media than xenon emission and very closely matches the narrow absorption profile of ndyag krypton and other gases all gases produce spectral lines which are specific to the gas superimposed on a background of continuum radiation with all gases low current densities produce mostly spectral lines with the highest output being concentrated in the nearir between and nm krypton s strongest peaks are around and nm argon has many strong peaks at peaks around and nm as current densities become higher the output of continuum radiation will increase more than the spectral line radiation at a rate greater and output center will shift toward the visual spectrum at greybody current densities there is only a slight difference in the spectrum emitted by various gases at very high current densities all gases will begin to operate as blackbody radiators with spectral outputs centered in the nearuv heavier gases exhibit higher resistance and therefore have a higher value for k sub o sub impedance being defined as the resistance required to change energy into work is higher for heavier gases and as such the heavier gases are much more efficient than the lighter ones helium and neon are far too light to produce an efficient flash krypton can be as good as efficient but requires up to a increase in pressure to achieve this argon can be up to efficient but requires an even voltage drop between the electrodes formed by the spark streamer may be greater than the capacitor voltage these lamps often need a boost voltage during the trigger phase to overcome the extremely high trigger impedance nitrogen in the form of air has been used in flashtubes in home made dye lasers but the nitrogen and oxygen present form chemical reactions with the electrodes and themselves causing premature wear and the need to adjust the pressure for each flash some research has been done on mixing gases to alter the spectral output the effect on the output spectrum is negligible but the effect on efficiency is great adding a lighter gas will only reduce the efficiency of the heavier one light production as the current pulse travels through the tube it ionizes the atoms causing them to jump to higher energy levels three types of particles are found within the arc plasma consisting of electrons positively ionized atoms and neutral atoms at any given time the ionized produce all of the emitted light as they recombine with their lost electrons they immediately drop back to a lower energy state releasing photons in the process the methods of transferring energy occur in three separate ways called boundbound freebound and freefree transitions within the plasma positive ions move toward the cathode while electrons and neutral atoms move toward the anode boundbound transitions occur when the ions and neutral atoms collide transferring an electron from the atom to the ion this method predominates at low current densities and is responsible for producing the spectral line emission freebound transitions happen when an ion captures a free electron this method produces the continuum emission and is more prominent at higher current densities some of the continuum is also produced when an electron accelerates toward an ion called freefree transitions producing bremsstrahlung radiation intensity and duration of flash the only real electrical limit to how short a pulse can be is the totalsystem inductance including that of the capacitor wires be minimized this is typically done using special capacitors the shortest wires available and electricalleads with a lot of surface area but thin crosssections for extremely fast systems lowinductance axialleads such as copper tubing plasticcore wires or even hollowed electrodes may be used to decrease the totalsystem inductance dye lasers need very short pulses and sometimes use axial flashtubes which have an annular shape with a large outer diameter ringshaped electrodes and a hollow inner core allowing both lower inductance and a dye cell to be placed like an axle through the center of the lamp in contrast changes in the input voltage or capacitance have no effect on discharge time although they do have an effect on current density as flash duration decreases the electrical energy becomes concentrated into shorter pulses so the current density will increase compensating for this usually requires lowering the capacitance as pulse duration decreases and then raising the voltage proportionately in order to maintain a high enough energylevel however as pulse the lamp so the energy level must also be decreased to avoid destroying the lamp the amount of power loading the glass can handle is the major mechanical limit even if the amount of energy joules that is used remains constant electrical power wattage will increase in inverse proportion to a decrease in discharge time therefore energy must be decreased along with the pulse duration to keep the pulsed power levels from rising too high quartz glass millimeter thick per second discharge can usually withstand a maximum of watts per square centimeter of internal surfacearea other glasses have a much lower threshold extremely fast systems with inductance below critical damping microhenries usually require a shunt diode across the capacitor to prevent current reversal ringing from destroying the lamp if the pulse is allowed to ring through the lamp it will lengthen the flash so the diode traps the ringing allowing the lamp shut down at the correct time the limits to the anode sputter caused by ion bombardment at the cathode and the temperature gradients of the glass pulses that are too long can vaporize large amounts of metal from the cathode while overheating the glass will cause it to crack lengthwise for continuous operation the cooling is the limit discharge durations for common flashtubes range from microsecond to tens of milliseconds and can have repetition rates of hundreds of hertz flash duration can be carefully controlled with the use of an inductor the flash that emanates from a xenon flashtube may be so intense that it can ignite flammable materials within a short distance of the tube carbon nanotubes are particularly susceptible to this spontaneous ignition when exposed to the light from a flashtube similar effects may be exploited for use in aesthetic or medical procedures known as intense pulsed light ipl treatments ipl can be used for treatments such as hair removal and destroying lesions or moles lifetime the lifetime of a flashtube depends on both the energy level used for the the pulse duration of the lamp failures can be catastrophic causing the lamp to shatter or they can be gradual reducing the performance of the lamp below a usable rating catastrophic failure catastrophic failure can occur from two separate mechanisms energy and heat when too much energy is used for the pulse duration structural failure of the glass envelope can occur flashtubes produce an electrical arc flash contained in a glass tube as the arc develops a supersonic shockwave forms traveling radially from the center of the arc and impacting the inner wall of the tube if the energy level is low enough a soft tap against the glass is all that will be heard however if the energy level used equals the explosion energy rating of the lamp the impacting shock wave will fracture the glass rupturing the tube the resulting explosion creates a loud sonic shockwave and may throw shattered glass several feet the explosion energy is calculated by multiplying the internal surfacearea of the lamp the glass power loading is determined by the type and thickness of the glass and the cooling method that is used power loading is measured in watts per centimeter squared however since the pulsedpower level increases as the flash duration decreases the explosion energy must then be decreased in direct proportion to the square root of discharge time failure from heat is usually caused by excessively long pulse durations or high average power levels when the inner wall of the tube gets too hot while the outer wall is still cold this temperature gradient can cause the lamp to crack similarly if the electrodes heat much faster than the glass the lamp may crack or even shatter at the ends gradual failure the closer a flashtube operates to its explosion energy the greater the risk becomes for catastrophic failure at of the explosion energy the lamp may produce several thousand flashes before exploding at of the explosion energy the lamp will usually fail in less than a hundred energy the risk of catastrophic failure becomes very low the methods of failure then become those that reduce the output efficiency and affect the ability to trigger the lamp the processes affecting these are sputter and ablation of the inner wall sputter occurs when the energy level is very low below of the explosion energy or when the pulse duration is very long sputter is the vaporization of metal from the cathode which is redeposited on the walls of the lamp blocking the light output since the cathode is more emissive than the anode the flashtube is polarized and connecting the lamp to the power source incorrectly will quickly ruin it however even if connected properly the degree of sputter may vary considerably from lamp to lamp therefore it is impossible to predict the lifetime accurately at low energy levels at higher energy levels wall ablation becomes the main process of wear the electrical arc slowly erodes the inner wall of the tube forming microscopic cracks that give the glass glass increasing the pressure beyond an operable level this causes triggering problems known as jitter however at higher energy levels the lifetime can be calculated with a fair degree of accuracy when operated below of the explosion energy flashtube lifetime is generally between a few million to tens of millions of flashes applications as the duration of the flash that is emitted by a xenon flashtube can be accurately controlled and due to the high intensity of the light xenon flashtubes are commonly used as photographic strobe lights xenon flashtubes are also used in very high speed or stopmotion photography which was pioneered by harold edgerton in the s because they can generate bright attentiongetting flashes with a relatively small continuous input of electrical power they are also used in aircraft warning lights emergency vehicle lighting fire alarm annunciator devices horn lights aircraft anticollision beacons and other similar applications in dentistry it is used in so called light box device to light activate materials for example megaflash mini uni xs and other devices due to their highintensity and relative brightness at short wavelengths extending into the ultraviolet and short pulse widths flashtubes are also ideally suited as light sources for pumping atoms in a laser to excited states where they can subsequently be stimulated to emit coherent monochromatic light proper selection of the filler gas is crucial here so the maximum of radiated output energy is concentrated in the bands that are the best absorbed by the lasing medium eg krypton flashtubes are more suitable than xenon flashtubes for pumping ndyag lasers as krypton emission in near infrared is better matched to the absorption spectrum of ndyag xenon flashtubes have been used to produce an intense flash of white light some of which is absorbed by ndglass that produces the laser power for inertial confinement fusion in total about to of the electrical power fed into the flashtubes is turned into useful laser light for this application history the flashtube was invented by harold edgerton in moving objects flashtubes were mainly used for strobe lights in scientific studies but eventually began to take the place of chemical and powder flash lamps in mainstream photography early highspeed photographs were taken with an openair electrical arc discharge called spark photography the earliest known use of spark photography began with henry fox talbot around in ernst mach used an open air spark to photograph a speeding bullet revealing the shockwaves it produced at supersonic speeds open air spark systems were fairly easy to build but were bulky very limited in light output and produced loud noises comparable to that of a gunshot in harold edgerton built his first flash unit while at massachusetts institute of technology wanting to photograph the motion of a motor in vivid detail without blur edgerton decided to improve the process of spark photography by using a mercuryarc rectifier instead of an open air discharge to produce the light he was able to achieve a flash duration of microseconds and was able to his colleague s interest in the new flash apparatus soon provoked edgerton to improve upon the design the mercury lamp s efficiency was limited by the coolest part of the lamp causing them to perform better when very hot but poorly when cold edgerton decided to try a noble gas feeling that it would not be as temperature dependent as mercury and in he employed the general electric company to construct some lamps using argon instead the argon tubes were much more efficient compact and could be mounted near a reflector concentrating their output slowly camera designers began to take notice of the new technology and began to accept it edgerton received his first major order for the strobes from the kodak company in afterward he discovered that xenon was the most efficient of the noble gases producing a spectrum very close to that of daylight and xenon flashtubes became standard in most large photography sets it was not until the s that strobe units became portable enough to use invented the ruby laser a new demand for flashtubes began for use in lasers and new interest was taken in the study of the lamps safety flashtubes operate at high voltages with currents high enough to be deadly under certain conditions shocks as low as joule have been reported to be lethal the energy stored in a capacitor can remain surprisingly long after power has been disconnected a flashtube will usually shut down before the capacitor has fully drained and it may regain part of its charge through a process called dielectric absorption in addition the charging system itself can be equally deadly the trigger voltage can deliver a painful shock usually not enough to kill but which can often startle a person into bumping or touching something more dangerous when a person is charged to high voltages a spark can jump delivering the high capacitor current without actually touching anything flashtubes operate at high pressures and are known to explode producing violent shockwaves the explosion energy of a in just a few flashes is well defined and to avoid catastrophic failure it is recommended that no more than of the explosion energy be used flashtubes should be shielded behind glass or in a reflector cavity if not eye and ear protection should be worn flashtubes produce very intense flashes often faster than the eye can register and may not appear as bright as they are quartz glass will transmit nearly all of the long and short wave uv including the germicidal wavelengths and can be a serious hazard to eyes and skin this ultraviolet radiation can also produce large amounts of ozone which can be harmful to people animals and equipment many compact cameras charge the flash capacitor immediately after powerup and some even just by inserting the batteries merely inserting the battery into the camera can prime the capacitor to become dangerous or at least unpleasant for up to several days the energy involved is also fairly significant a microfarad capacitor charged to volts joules of energy popular culture in the book the andromeda strain and the motion picture specialized exposure to a xenon flash apparatus was used to burn off the outer epithelial layers of human skin as an antiseptic measure to eliminate all possible bacterial access for persons working in an extreme ultraclean environment the book used the term ultraflash the movie identified the apparatus as a xenon flash br animation

 stoke mandeville hospital is a large national health service hospital in the district of aylesbury vale and the town of aylesbury near the village of stoke mandeville in buckinghamshire it is part of buckinghamshire healthcare nhs trust the hospital s national spinal injuries centre is one of the largest specialist spinal units in the world and the pioneering rehabilitation work carried out there by sir ludwig guttmann led to the development of the paralympic games mandeville one of the official mascots for the summer olympics and paralympics in london was named in honour of the hospital s contribution to paralympic sports history in the early s the village of stoke mandeville was badly affected by cholera epidemics that swept across england a cholera hospital was established on the parish border between stoke mandeville and aylesbury it was founded with monies provided by both parishes but was built separately from both places as cholera was very contagious and the inhabitants were anxious to avoid infection by the start of the twentieth century the hospital infections not just cholera however the town of aylesbury was growing and the distance between the town and the hospital was getting smaller and before long people with infectious diseases could no longer be treated at the hospital because the risk of infecting the local community was too great during the second world war the hospital was used to treat military casualties and was expanded during this time to cater for the extra patients so as to support the nearby royal bucks hospital in the centre of aylesbury it was during this time that spinal injuries were first treated at the hospital in the nhs was founded and all operations were moved from the royal bucks to stoke mandeville making it the main hospital in aylesbury aylesbury had by this time grown to such an extent that the hospital became a part of the town on the day of the opening of the summer olympics in london stoke mandeville hospital organised a sports competition for british world war two veteran patients with spinal same location in and dutch veterans took part alongside the british making it the first international competition of its kind these stoke mandeville games have been described as the precursors of the paralympic games the paralympics were subsequently officialised as a quadrennial event tied to the olympic games and the first official paralympic games no longer open solely to war veterans were held in rome in throughout the s s and s the hospital was added to extensively and the new accident and emergency unit was opened also during this period stoke mandeville stadium was developed alongside the hospital and is the national centre for disability sport in the united kingdom enhancing the hospital as a world centre for paraplegics and spinal injuries in the s and s the hospital received support from its biggest campaigner jimmy savile who gave it a high profile on his television appearances and raised an immense amount of money for the hospital he was knighted for the amount of time he donated the hospital was also visited during princess of wales who opened the new international spinal injuries centre when it was refurbished today the hospital is still growing with a new maternity unit opened in and plans to refurbish the accident and emergency unit and further extend the hospital new wings have been built in recent years these have been funded by the private finance initiative pfi the pfi is a scheme where the government contract a private company to design build finance and manage a hospital school prison or other public service the company that does this is usually given a year contract the company that is contracted at stoke mandeville hospital is the multinational sodexho sodexho is also contracted to provide housekeeping domestics catering vending portering nonemergency patient transport telecommunications car parking security maintenance help desk nontechnical and switchboard all of the portering catering domestic maintenance security and help desk staff are employed by sodexho rather than the nhs trust historic sexual abuse at the

jimmy savile found that savile who was a valued fundraiser for the institution committed offences there between and twentytwo offences there between those dates have been formally recorded as crimes by the police a former child patient at the hospital has said that nurses warned her to stay in bed and pretend to be asleep when savile was due to visit criticism on february buckinghamshire disability charity buds announced that it was compiling a dossier of evidence about risks to patient safety at stoke mandeville hospital to send to the care quality commission the charity claimed that it had received alarming reports from various sources bucks healthcare nhs trust responded by saying it was somewhat irresponsible of buds to potentially worry patients by hinting at patient safety issues at the hospital the charity however defended its action and said buds wanted to give staff patients and visitors at stoke mandeville hospital a wholly anonymous way to report any concerns they might have on april the cqc published a report after an unannounced inspection at the hospital it found that the hospital did not meet the standards for staffing levels and for providing support to staff enforcement action was taken regarding supporting staff and a warning notice was served facilities the table above shows the adult wards at stoke mandeville hospital stoke mandeville hospital

 nativenamelang zhtw order th chairperson of the dpp birthplace takao taiwan empire of japan shih mingte or shih mingteh aka nori born january in kaohsiung was a political prisoner for andahalf years in taiwan he was arrested at the age of in and charged with creating the taiwan independence league a study group with the intention of overthrowing the kuomintang government shih was sentenced to life imprisonment the sentence was commuted to years in and shih was released on june he promptly joined the tangwai literally meaning outside the party because the kuomintang was the only legally existing political party in taiwan at that time became a reporter for the liberty times and married the american researcher linda gail arrigo after playing a part in organizing the december prodemocracy rally subsequently known as the kaohsiung incident also known as the formosa incident or meilitao incident an arrest warrant days on the run he was again arrested and sentenced to life in prison in while he was incarcerated polish politician and nobel peace prize laureate lech wasa nominated him for peace prize on july chiang chingkuo lifted martial law and offered an amnesty to shih but he refused to accept on may he was finally released in total he spent years in prison years in solitary confinement and over years on hunger strike in he was elected leader of the legalized opposition democratic progressive party he was also elected legislator in three occasions shih s proposal of a political grand reconciliation in taiwan earned him strong rejection from within the democratic progressive party to which he resigned on november in shih carried out a massive protest known as million voices against corruption president chen must go in an effort to force the embattled president chen shuibian to resign he led an around the clock sitin in taipei city pledging to remain there until such time as president chen resigned or the reached the end of his term in march on december he left taipei railway station pledging to continue the protest alone in selfreclusion at an apartment nearby as of april this protest has ended shih was one of the most prominent personalities of the tangwai movement and greatly contributed to taiwan s democratization he had been referred to by some as taiwan s mandela life early years shih mingte s father shih kuotsui was a wellknown practitioner of chinese medicine in february shih mingte witnessed at kaohsiung train station that would later be known as the incident the student leaders of schools were charged as instigators and some were executed as riots broke out students seized weapons from harbor garrison and exchanged fires with the guards he entered kaohsiung s chungcheng senior high in in after failed to pass college entrance exam he signed up with school on occasion he vowed in public to overthrow the roc government by force tabooed then through an armed coup d tat as an army officer the same year his girlfriend gave birth to a daughter when he was he briefly served as an artillery officer in kingmen first imprisonment in he was arrested for alleged involvement in the formosa independence movement over more accomplices mostly army school and university students were also arrested shih s two brothers poet and painter shih mingcheng and medical school student shih minghsiung were among them in shih mingte is sentenced to life imprisonment for orchestrating the independence movement he was also strippedoff his civil rights for life shih was roughened up and suffered loss of his teeth and his back spine was damaged at age of the kuomintang regime considered outspoken shih as highly dangerous political criminal and therefore prevented him from doing any forced labor that would put him in contact with the world outside prison this shih focused on philosophy history international law linguistics and japanese he also developed a strong and resolute personality in prison in the s taiwan government suffered several blows to its international status first its seat at the united nations was taken over by the people s republic of china then the united states established official ties with beijing severing those with taipei a rebellion in the taiyuan prison where many of the inmates were political prisoners was planned access to the taitung radio station and a publicly broadcast a declaration of taiwan s independence from china was one of their goals many all proindependence prisoners took part in the plot on february five prisoners murdered a guard and tried to take his gun ultimately the five inmates broke from prison only to be caught promptly the breakout plot was foiled the kuomintang believed shih was one of the masterminds of the uprising therefore kept him in isolation during his time in taiyuan to this date of shih is disputed by shih himself who sued lin shuchi for defamation in after years of imprisonment shih s first wife chen lichu asked for divorce she had an affair with one of shih s friends who was released before shih in president chiang kaishek died chiang chingkuo succeeded as kmt chairman then a leniency policy is implmented on june shih is released after only years in prison serving a life sentence meilitao kaohsiung formosa incident during chiang chingkuo s years the threat of internal opposition voice was considered more taboo it was similar to today s communist chinese government policy to oppose speaking out the two obscure political parties in taiwan which had no voice after chiang chingkuo narrowly missed the assassination from the independence in new york the nationalists were sensitive to the threats shih mingte created a party without a name amidst the absence of freedom of association in taiwan at that time on nonkuomintang candidates on may this group of nonkuomintang activists established the meilitao magazine shih was named general manager on december this tangwai group commemorates human rights day in kaohsiung the rally operated without prior approval with specific stipulation that no torches and weapons were allowed it was intervened by police which clashed with the protestors resulted in damages the event will be known as the meilitao incident a milestone in taiwan s democratization process three days later shih dramatically escapes chang wenying then a dentist and later mayor of taichung city performs plastic surgery on shih to change his looks so he can escape to overseas shih was still later caught along with the dentist sentenced to life in prison for the second time during the meilitao incident trials shih is defiant and proud facing a potentially fatal court martial decision he declares during his defense taiwan should be independent in fact it already is it has been for years and currently it is known to the political monopoly by the kuomintang the press control in taiwan and the martial law so that the plusyear rubber stamped legislative session can be dissolved second imprisonment and hunger strike in one of the allies of shih professor chen wencheng is murdered shih mingte begins a month hunger strike to protest what he believed to be an assassination ordered by the secret police in polish union leader lech wasa nobel peace nominates shih mingte for the nobel peace prize in shih commences an indefinite hunger strike his demands an end to martial law and statesponsored political murders implementation of a democratic system and release of all meilitao incident political prisoners shih is sent to the triservice general hospital and underwent forcefeeding through a nasogastric tube during his four and half years of protest on july a yearlong martial law was ended by the kmt government president chiang chingkuo announced nationwide sentence reductions and conditional releases shih declined another hunger strike protest with his brother shih mingcheng his brother died from malnutrition shih survived release on may the new president lee tenghui officially assumes the presidency and orders a special amnesty for all meilitao incident prisoners shih rips up his amnesty document and demands an unconditional release when president lee announces the invalidation of the meilitao trials shih mingte finally accepts his release as an innocent person upon recovering his freedom he joins the now legal democratic progressive party which originated in the tangwai movement political career in shih is elected legislator for the tainan county constituency in legislative yuan this election was the first free direct legislative elections in taiwan history between and shih is elected president of the democratic progressive party during his tenure he claimed that taiwan is already an independent and sovereign nation when the democratic progressive party is in power there is no need and it will not announce taiwan s independence at the same elected legislator for a new term in he ran for the presidency of the legislative yuan gaining a vote from former archrival new party but losing one from the democratic progressive party liu songfan was elected president of the legislative yuan on march taiwan s first direct presidential election is held the democratic progressive party s candidate is defeated by incumbent president lee tenghui with only got of low vote the dpp got around in before regional elections shih mingte resigns to his position as party chief chang chunhsiung assumes as acting leader of the opposition party shih shifts his attention to the completion of the meilitao oral history records on april shih is indicted for a violation to the mass gathering and demonstration act he had organized in a protest demanding direct presidential elections huang hsinchie hsu hsinliang and lin yihsiung go to prison with shih for days this is the third time shih is imprisoned but now as a legislator shih is reelected legislator but this time representing a taipei city constituency he will continue his efforts for the completion of the meilitao oral history records in three years individuals of the political spectrum the oral testimonies amount to over million words and are edited to a word four volume version to date this is the most comprehensive historical research of the era in taiwan s development earning it a publishing prize this was the result of shih s individual efforts using his own financial and personal resources neither the democratic progressive party nor the government of taiwan have helped complete this overwhelming historic research project in chen shuibian the former mayor of taipei city is elected president shih congratulates the leader of the democratic progressive party lin yihsiung for the triumph he said in an interview that since his childhood dream of ousting the chiang s kmt regime had been accomplished he would leave the political party in may chen before he assumed the if he was willing to be appointed senior political advisor shih rejected chen s offer once more but instead proposed hsu hsinliang for the position shih condemned president chen for leading the country with a minority government ignoring the kmt majority in the legislative yuan and risking political stability after chen rejected his suggestion for an alliance with the opposition majority in the legislative yuan shih further walked away from the party believing that taiwan s greatest challenge in the st century was globalization together with former colleagues hsu hsinliang and sisy chen famous wen shihren and a dozen others intellectuals and entrepreneurs founded the shan mountain alliance their goal to draw a road map for taiwan in the st century shih ran as an independent twice on december and december on the first occasion he lost with votes on the second he narrowly lost the race by receiving votes in the highly contested taipei north constituency he had proposed a parliamentary political system society on december shih ran as mayor candidate for kaohsiung city his platform turn the portcity into a free port much like hong kong or amsterdam to cope with the challenge of globalization direct maritime links with chinese ports was also part of the proposal shih perceived that the political divide was so severe that he decided to announce his withdrawal three days before the election on september shih mingte is visiting scholar at george mason university for a oneyear period during his tenure shih researched what he called the one china european union model as a means of ending the impasse between the two sides of the taiwan strait and reiterates his proposal for a constitutional amendment in favor of a parliamentary system in an attempt to put an end to the political polarization into the two camps blue or kuomintangbased and green or democratic progressive partycentered which was deteriorating into ethnic rivalry between chinese refugees coming to rule taiwan in and those who were there before that time political science at national taiwan university opens the shih mingte lecture series ethnic harmony political reconciliation and crossstrait peace are its core values on may shih mingte lecture invites mr frederik willem de klerk former state president of south africa to a dialog with shih mingte maintaining peace south africa s experience a perspective for taiwan is the topic million voices against corruption chen must go campaign chronology on august shih mingte wrote an open letter to president chen shuibian whose aides wife and soninlaw are implicated in several corruption cases shih urges chen to resign as a display of strength in times of crisis respect for public opinion and acknowledgement of wrongdoing ironically chen shuibian had been shih s defense attorney in the aftermath of the kaohsiung incident and had been imprisoned for months himself on august shih mingte gives a keynote speech to kickstart the million voices against corruptionchen must go campaign in the not bear with so much corruption anymore shih asks all those who support the movement a nt us donation as a symbol of commitment and consent as well as a display of determination to ask chen shuibian to leave the presidential office shih vowed to lead the people in a protest until chen shuibian steps down if the donations came in on august in seven working days a sum equivalent of that from over million people had been received the actual number of donators can not be computed because there was no restriction on the maximum amount of money one could transfer to the designated account the designated account was quickly closed and the preparations for the marathon protest started on september the anticorruption campaign organizers start training for the sitins emergency procedures in case of police intervention on september the sitin begins on a rainy day according to the chinapost over hundred thousand people gathered that building in taipei under the pouring rain the taipei police department claims there were only hundred thousand protestors according to the organizers request most of them were wearing red shirts no controversial flags or political icons should be displayed not even the republic of china flag perceived as a prokuomintang device some protestors still brought along a small republic of china flag or campaign items with them on september a democratic progressive party taipei city counselor had booked the ketagalan avenue site where the redclad protestors were still gathered shih mingte decides to move the protest to taipei railway station a climax is reached the night of the procession a large perimeter of over kilometers around the heavily guarded presidential building and residence at the heart of taipei was quickly flooded by peaceful redclad protestors the chinapost reported that over hundred thousand people had joined the candlelight encirclement the taipei police again contradict this with an estimate of hundred thousand on september shih mingte nor participate in any political negotiations he also made it clear that he was not willing to engage in negotiations with former president lee tenghui instead he will stay with the redclad antichen protestors on november shih mingte urges taipei city mayor ma yingjeou the kuomintang s presidential hopeful to resign amidst accusations of corruption shih says he was not contemplating anticorruption protests against ma but insists there should not be double standards regarding corruption allegations ma was acquitted on november last night of protest by the million voices against corruption chen must go campaign shih mingte later travels to thailand for a tv interview and panel discussion on december the special state funds case of president chen and his wife is underway campaign organizers claim that taiwan needs to go back to normal but shih will protest until chen steps down taipei on april shih mingte announces the end to his selfimprisonment and starts preparations for the candidates for the next legislative elections originally schedduled for late the elections will instead be carried out in early controversy shih is often considered a romantic revolutionary in taiwan media he believes that he is rooted in his ability to to pursue unlimited aspirations and ideals under restrictive conditions the latest editions of taiwan s highschool textbooks list shih mingte as a political activist shih s former legislative yuan secretary cartoonist and writer yufu thinks shih is never quite sure of his own place in history shih is accused by his exwife chen li zhu in her book the innocent song of a taiwanese woman of using her as a sex toy and failing his responsibility as a husband chen also claimed shih been indifferent to his responsibility toward their daughter shih mingte often says i have been locked up for years where were you then another former secretary of shih kuo wenpin wrote about his opinion of shih on taiwan daily october his struggle for taiwan s democracy he reveals himself as a visionary he made several pioneering proposals ahead of his time years ago shih already said the four evils of taiwan s path towards democracy were the political monopoly by the kuomintang the press control in taiwan the martial law and the ten thousand year legislative session risking death penalty shih advocated for a republic of china taiwanese independence model and added that taiwan is already an independent country it has been so for over years for his opinions shih was considered seditious and the media organizations academia everyone attacked him and humiliated him only for the democratic progressive party to adopt and implement his ideas they even led the way to lee tenghui s silent revolution political compromises when the kuomintang s years in power ended the chen shuibian administration accepted some of his teachings arrests and repression are no longer the defensive measures of the regime when facing harsh criticism but the abuse humiliate and swear at others is still common practice ddp party has vowed to improve its image with more diplomatic means has yet remain to be seen in the aftermath of shih s redshirt movement he became a darling of prc controlled media including cctvphoenix tv and people s daily shih s efforts in discrediting the dpp are widely praised and reported by various media outlets controlled or owned by the chinese government on november ifengcom web portal of proccp television channel phoenix tv reported shih planned a trip to thailand to discuss his red shirt philosophy in the same article shih also rebutted claims by representative of the american institute in taiwan that the red shirts instigated violence and caused social upheaval on january on april wwwchinataiwanorg a chinese government sponsored site reported shih claimed numerous prominent ddp leaders including shui bian chen and chang ting hsieh were undercover agents for the kuomintang against political dissidents during the s according accusations have caused a general panic in the ddp a former supporter and pastor of the presbyterian church wang jie nan wrote an opinion piece highlighting his disappointment with shih starting from shih s red shirt movement and his subsequent efforts to undermine the dpp with outlandish accusations on april shih courted controversy when he asked tsai ingwen to publicly disclose her sexual orientation before she participated in her presidential bid despite his own support for lgbt rights in taiwan shih was roundly criticized by major women s groups including the awakening foundation the taiwan women s link and the taiwan gender equity education association tsai herself characterized the request as surprising and refused to

 birthplace bradford west yorkshire england deathplace edinburgh scotland sir edward victor appleton gbe kcb frs september april was an english physicist he won the nobel prize in physics in for his seminal work proving the existence of the ionosphere during experiments carried out in biography appleton was born in bradford west yorkshire and educated at hanson grammar school at the age of he won a scholarship to st john s college cambridge he graduated with a first class degree in natural sciences during the first world war he joined the west riding regiment and later transferred to the royal engineers after returning from active service in world war i appleton became assistant demonstrator in experimental physics at the cavendish laboratory in he was professor of physics at king s college london and professor of natural philosophy at the university of cambridge from to he was secretary of the he received the nobel prize in physics for his contributions to the knowledge of the ionosphere which led to the development of radar from until his death in he was principal and vicechancellor of the university of edinburgh in the bbc invited him to deliver the annual reith lectures across a series of six radio broadcasts titled science and the nation appleton explored the many facets of scientific activity in britain at the time works appleton had observed that the strength of the radio signal from a transmitter on a frequency such as the medium wave band and over a path of a hundred miles or so was constant during the day but that it varied during the night this led him to believe that it was possible that two radio signals were being received one was travelling along the ground and another was reflected by a layer in the upper atmosphere the fading or variation in strength of the overall radio signal received resulted from the a reflecting atmospheric layer was not in itself a completely new idea balfour stewart had suggested the idea in the late nineteenth century to explain rhythmic changes in the earths magnetic field more recently in oliver heaviside and a e kennelly had suggested such a hypothesis may explain the success marconi had in transmitting his signals across the atlantic calculations had shown that natural bending of the radio waves was not sufficient to stop them from simply shooting off into empty space before they reached the receiver appleton thought the best place to look for evidence of the ionosphere was in the variations he believed it was causing around sunset in radio signal receptions it was sensible to suggest these variations were due to the interference of two waves but an extra step to show that the second wave causing the interference the first being the ground wave was coming down from the ionosphere the experiment he designed had two methods to show ionospheric influence and both allowed the height of the lower boundary of reflection thus the lower the first method was called frequency modulation and the second was to calculate the angle of arrival of the reflected signal at the receiving aerial the frequency modulation method exploits the fact that there is a path difference between the ground wave and the reflected wave meaning they travel different distances from sender to receiver let the distance ac travelled by the ground wave be h and the distance abc travelled by the reflected wave h the path difference is math h hd math the wavelength of the transmitted signal is the number of wavelengths difference between the paths h and h is math frachh lambdafracdlambdan math if n is an integer number then constructive interference will occur this means a maximum signal will be achieved at the receiving end if n is an odd integer number of half wavelengths then destructive interference will occur and a minimum signal will be received let us assume we are receiving a maximum signal for a given wavelength if we start to change this is the process called number and destructive interference will start to occur meaning the signal will start to fade now we keep changing until a maximum signal is once again received the means that for our new value our new value n is an also an integer number if we have lengthened then we know that n is one less than n thus math nn fracdlambdafracdlambda math rearranging for d gives math dhh toolong math as we know and we can calculate d using the approximation that abc is an isosceles triangle we can use our value of d to calculate the height of the reflecting layer this method is a slightly simplified version of the method used by appleton and his colleagues to work out a first value for the height of the ionosphere in in their experiment they used the bbc broadcasting station in bournemouth to vary the wavelengths of its emissions after the evening programmes had finished they installed a receiving station in oxford to monitor the interference effects the receiving station emitter at the right distance of about km from cambridge in those days this frequency modulation method revealed that the point from which waves were being reflected was approximately km however it did not establish that the waves were reflected from above indeed they may have been coming from hills somewhere between oxford and bournemouth the second method which involved finding the angle of incidence of the reflected waves at the receiver showed for sure that they were coming from above triangulations from this angle gave results for the height of reflection compatible with the frequency modulation method we will not go into this method in detail because it involves fairly complex calculations using maxwells electromagnetic theory far from being conclusive the success of the oxfordbournemouth experiment revealed a vast new field of study to be explored it showed that there was indeed a reflecting layer high above the earth but it also posed many new questions what was the constitution of this layer how did it reflect the waves was it the same so dramatically between day and night did it change throughout the year appleton would spend the rest of his life answering these questions he developed a magnetoionic theory based on the previous work of lorentz and maxwell to model the workings of this part of the atmosphere using this theory and further experiments he showed that the socalled kennellyheaviside layer was heavily ionised and thus conducting this led to the term ionosphere he showed free electrons to be the ionising agents he discovered that the layer could be penetrated by waves above a certain frequency and that this critical frequency could be used to calculate the electron density in the layer however these penetrating waves would also be reflected back but from a much higher layer this showed the ionosphere had a much more complex structure than first anticipated the lower level was labelled e layer reflected longer wavelengths and was found to be at approximately km the high level which had much higher electron density was labelled f layer and could reflect much situated km above the earths surface it is this which is often referred to as the appleton layer as is responsible for enabling most long range short wave telecommunication the magnetoionic theory also allowed appleton to explain the origin of the mysterious fadings heard on the radio around sunset during the day the light from the sun causes the molecules in the air to become ionised even at fairly low altitudes at these low altitudes the density of the air is great and thus the electron density of ionised air is very large due to this heavy ionisation there is strong absorption of electromagnetic waves caused by electron friction thus in transmissions over any distance there will be no reflections as any waves apart from the one at ground level will be absorbed rather than reflected however when the sun sets the molecules slowly start to recombine with their electrons and the free electron density levels drop this means absorption rates diminish and waves can be reflected with sufficient strengths to be noticed leading interference patterns to occur though there must not simply be the presence of a reflected wave but a change in the reflected wave otherwise the interference is constant and fadings would not be heard the received signal would simply be louder or softer than during the day this suggests the height at which reflection happens must slowly change as the sun sets appleton found in fact that it increased as the sun set and then decreased as the sun rose until the reflected wave was too weak to record this variation is compatible with the theory that ionisation is due to the suns influence at sunset the intensity of the suns radiation will be much less at the surface of the earth than it is high up in the atmosphere this means ionic recombination will progress slowly from lower altitudes to higher ones and therefore the height at which waves are reflected slowly increases as the sun sets the basic idea behind appletons work is so simple that it is hard to understand at first how he devoted almost all of the last couple of paragraphs some of the complexities of the subject have been introduced like many other fields it is one that grows in intricacy the more it is studied by the end of his life ionospheric observatories had been set up all over the world to provide a global map of the reflecting layers links were found to the year sunspot cycle and the aurora borealis the magnetic storms that occur in high latitudes this became particularly relevant during the second world war when the storms would lead to radio blackouts thanks to appletons research the periods when these would occur could be predicted and communication could be switched to wavelengths that would be least affected radar another crucial wartime innovation was one that came about thanks to appletons work on a very general level his research consisted in determining the distance of reflecting objects from radio signal transmitters this is exactly the idea of radar and the flashing dots that appear on the screen a cathode ray tube scanned by by appleton as a new method called the pulse method to make ionospheric measurements it was later adapted by robert watsonwatt to detect aeroplanes nowadays ionospheric data is important when communications with satellites are considered the correct frequencies for these signals must be selected so that they actually reach the satellites without being reflected or deviated before in the radio and space research station was renamed the appleton laboratory in honour of the man who had done so much to establish the uk as a leading force in ionospheric research and had been involved with the station first as a researcher and then as secretary of its parent body the department of scientific and industrial research honours and awards appleton was awarded the

 the doctor of musical arts degree dma dm dmusa or amusd is a doctoral academic degree in music the dma combines advanced studies in an applied area of specialization usually music performance composition or conducting with graduatelevel academic study in subjects such as music history music theory or music pedagogy the dma degree usually takes about three to four years of fulltime study to complete in addition to the masters and bachelors degrees preparing students to be professional performers conductors and composers as a terminal degree the dma qualifies its recipient to work in university college and conservatory teachingresearch positions types the dma is widely available in the concentrations of performance sometimes with a specialization in pedagogy andor literature composition and conducting some universities awarding doctoral degrees in these areas use the title doctor of music dm or dmus or doctor of arts da or doctor in musical studies phd instead of dma national association of schools of music who approved the first dma programs in northwestern university the university of michigan and the eastman school of music became the first to offer the dma boston university offered its first dma program in in boston university also expanded into online music education by launching the first online doctoral degree in music a dma program along with a master of music program in music education several us institutions offer the dma degree today the phd is generally considered to be more research oriented while other doctorates may place more emphasis on practical applications andor include a performance component such distinctions among degree types not always so clearcut however for instance most programs include traditional research training and culminate in a written dissertation regardless of degree designation the music education degree can be a dma or phd also music education phd programs may include performanceoriented tracks in composition one may study for either the dma or the phd standard doctorate in music theory musicology music therapy and ethnomusicology a related program is the doctor of sacred music dsm which tends to be awarded by seminaries or university music schools that focus on church music choral conducting and organ performance components dma students typically complete applied studies such as lessons or mentoring with a professor and take courses within their area of specialization in many dma programs all of the different dma streams eg performance composition conducting take a common core of music theory and music history courses many dma programs require students to pass a comprehensive exam on their area of specialization and on subjects such as music history and music theory the last stage of the dma degree is usually the completion of a thesis dissertation or research project and the performance of recitals usually including at least one lecturerecital some programs additionally require a subspecialization in a cognate area within music such as music history or performance practice which contributes student doing a dma in baroque violin might do a subspecialization in baroque music history or baroqueera dance some institutions permit dma students to do a subspecialization in a field outside music that contributes to their professional and academic goals for example a student completing a dma in piano pedagogy may be able to do a subspecialization in the university s department of psychology eg on the psychology of learning and memory a student completing a dma in electronic composition may be permitted to do a subspecialization in the department of computer engineering eg in computer programming while teaching experience is not an official part of most dma programs most dma candidates will have the opportunity to work as a teaching assistant or lecturer for undergraduate students during their degree either as a requirement of their toolong package or as a parttime employee of the university dma students can teach in an area related to their dma program or if they have multiple skill areas eg a person with an mmus in piano they may teach in another area admission requirements to be admitted to a dma degree program most institutions require a master s degree such as a mmus degree or an ma degree in music or an equivalent course of study usually with a grade average of b or higher dma programs in performance usually require applicants to prepare solo literature that is the equivalent of a graduate recitalie several advanced pieces from a wide range of stylesin addition to orchestral excerpts admission to doctoral programs in conducting often require a video recording of live rehearsals and performances as a prescreening element composition programs usually require the submission of a portfolio of compositions including scores and recordings of live performances programs in music education generally require two or more years of public school or similar teaching experience and may further require an example of scholarly writing newly admitted dma students are usually required to pass a series of diagnostic tests in music history theory and sometimes eartraining to confirm thorough command of essential musical principles is not permitted until the tests are passed andor remedial coursework in deficient areas is completed often the knowledge of a second language one of languages of major influence in music history such as german french italian spanish or russian is required to complete the degree the graduate admissions branch of many us universities require applicants to complete the graduate record examination gre a standardized test of abstract thinking skills in the areas of math vocabulary and analytical writing while the outcome of the gre test may affect an applicant s eligibility for some universitywide scholarships it does not always affect admission to the music program of the university brief history after world war ii there had been a sharp rise in music education at the university level as was the case with many occupations the music world was experiencing an unprecedented number of discharged musicians from the us armed forces the gi bill was an impetus for many opting for college causing a spike and a spike in enrollment in music education universities had an opportunity to employ formidable musicians but many including those of international rank lacked a terminal academic degree that would put them on equal footing with professors post world war ii also a period of rise the quality of comprehensive music education at universities the nation s renowned conservatories such a juilliard and curtis at the time saw no need for the degree yet many alumni of those institutions and many top musicians with no degree were the very people being sought by universities offering degrees in music and music education in after six years of deliberation the national association of schools of music nasm approved thirtytwo schools for graduate degrees for graduate work in one or more of the fields into which graduate music study has been divided the nasm was and still is the only accrediting agency for music schools recognized by the american council on education in music schools had already established standards for meeting criteria was eastman school of music the dma degree was approved by the state of new york board of regents in boston university university of southern california the dean of the university of rochester eastman school of music howard harold hanson who had been awarded an honorary doctorate in was one of several highprofile advocates of creating a performance oriented doctors degree in he published a proposal for a doctor of musical arts degree which was roundly criticized by paul henry long phd professor of musicology at columbia university early doctor of musical arts conferred mathias matt higgins doran dma born university of southern california will gay bottje dma born eastman school of music some sources attribute bottje as having been the first in the nation to earn the degree august edward f gilday jr dma boston university nonnasm institutions the alumni of music conservatories in the that are not affiliated with the national association of schools of music began offering dmas in the late s margaret heeleng tan juilliard she is the first woman to earn a dma from juilliard juilliard added the degree in the year it moved to lincoln center 
 in new zealand the speaker of the house of representatives is the individual who chairs the country s legislative body the new zealand house of representatives often also referred to as parliament the speaker fulfils a number of important functions in relation to the operation of the house which is based upon the british westminster parliamentary system the current speaker is david carter role in the debating chamber the speaker s most visible role is that of presiding over the house when in session this involves overseeing the order in which business is conducted and determining who should speak at what time the speaker is also responsible for granting or declining requests for certain events such as a snap debate on a particular issue an important part of the speaker s role is ruling on matters of procedure known as points of order based on standing orders and previously made speakers rulings this has a large bearing on the smooth running of each parliamentary session speaker to ensure reasonable behaviour by mps including the ability to remove disruptive mps from the debating chamber the speaker presides over the business of parliament from the elevated speaker s chair behind the table in the debating chamber outside the debating chamber the speaker is also responsible for directing and overseeing the administration and security of the buildings and grounds of parliament including the beehive parliament house bowen house and the parliamentary library building and the general provision of services to members in doing so the speaker consults and receives advice from the parliamentary service commission which comprises mps from across the house the speaker also presides over some select committees including the standing orders committee the business committee and the officers of parliament committee the speaker also has some other statutory responsibilities for example under the electoral act the speaker is third in the new zealand order of precedence behind the governorgeneral and the prime minister neutrality the speaker is expected to conduct even though the speaker is generally a member of the governing party only three people have held the office despite not being from the governing party in charles statham an independent but formerly a member of the reform party was backed by reform so as not to endanger the party s slim majority and later retained his position under the liberal party in peter tapsell a member of the labour party was backed by the national party for the same reason bill barnard who had been elected speaker in resigned from the labour party in but retained his position historically a speaker lost the right to cast a vote except when both sides were equally balanced the speaker s lack of a vote created problems for a governing party when the party s majority was small the loss of the speaker s vote could be problematic since however the speaker votes in the same way that any other mp does and in the election of the speaker the speaker is always a member of parliament and is elected by the house at the beginning of a parliamentary term if the office of speaker becomes vacant during a parliamentary term the house must elect a new speaker when it next sits the election of a speaker is presided over by the clerk of the house it is not unusual for an election to be contested if there are two candidates members vote in the lobbies for their preferred candidate in the case of three or more candidates a rollcall vote is conducted and the candidate with the fewest votes eliminated with the process continuing or reverting to a twoway runoff until one candidate has a majority members may vote only if they are present in person no proxy votes are permitted after being elected by the house the speakerelect is confirmed in office by the governorgeneral at the start of a term of parliament the newly confirmed speaker follows the tradition of claiming the privileges the current speaker is david carter a member of the national party which is the largest party in parliament and governs as a minority since the creation of parliament people have held the office of speaker two people have held the office on more than one occasion a full list of speakers is below indicates speaker died in office border cellpadding cellspacing style margin em em em background fff border px

 gameline was a dialup game distribution service for the atari developed and operated by control video corporation cvc subscribers could install the proprietary modem and storage cartridge in their home game console accessing the gameline service to download games over a telephone line gameline is notable for its exclusive selection of games and for its pioneering business model which eventually gave rise to america online in the early s a cable pioneer named william von meister was looking for a way to use his innovative modem transmission technology which was previously acquired in illfated attempts of sending music to cable companies legal issues caused cable providers to step away from the service leaving von meister with a delivery tool and no content he then converted his variable speed adaptive modem technology to download games from central servers to individual households this allowed users to dial a system and for a fee download games to their gameline modules the game would typically work for plays after which the user another download the master module physically resembles an oversized silver atari cartridge it has a phone jack on the side that was used to link the master module with the cvc computers the module is able to transmit with pulse or tone dialing allowing the unit to be versatile in the field the games available on the gameline service were all from thirdparty gamemakers the largest of which was imagic whose catalog is now controlled by activision cvc tried but failed to obtain licensing agreements from the largest game makers such as atari activision coleco mattel and parker brothers membership benefits when a user registered with the service they were given a pin this pin was used to log into the central cvc computer and download the requested games one of the benefits of registering was that users were given free games on their birthday gameline provided players an opportunity to compete in contests with selected games where they could upload a high score prizes would be one such regional prize was a gameline windbreaker each subscriber to gameline also received a professionally printed magazine titled gameliner gameliner

the rest of introduces new gameplay elements such as mega man s canine sidekick rush and the ability to slide along the ground unlike with the first two installments of the series artist and designer keiji inafune has considered the creation of mega man to be very stressful due to time constraints and his own increased responsibilities during its development following the success of mega man released two years earlier mega man has sold over one million copies and has been positively received in critical reviews its presentation and gameplay has been especially praised although many sources found the game to be too difficult like other titles in the series mega man has been rereleased several times on other gaming platforms on mobile phones and as part of various mega man franchise compilations plot mega man takes place during an unspecified year during the st century x the mad scientist dashed claims to have reformed and begins work with dr light on a project to build a peacekeeping robot named gamma robot masters in charge of a set of mining worlds however go berserk and make off with gamma s eight power crystals mega man is called into action this time with a canine companion named rush to retrieve the crystals from the sites throughout his mission the protagonist continuously encounters and spars with break man a masked foe who has abilities comparable to mega man s own after mega man destroys the eight robot masters he must then revisit four of the mining sites to face off against eight doc robots who possess the abilities of the robot masters from mega man s most recent mission once the crystals are retrieved wily reverts to his evil ways steals gamma and retreats to his new fortress to stop wily s newest plan to conquer the world mega man destroys gamma and defeats wily in a final confrontation as the fortress begins save mega man but is too late to save wily who is seen being crushed under the rubble when mega man regains consciousness in dr light s lab his creator informs him that he must have been rescued by proto man mega man s brother gameplay mega man retains the platforming and action game elements established by the two mega man games released before it the player controls the protagonist mega man as he traverses eight selectable stages the player s primary blaster weapon is used to fend off the game s numerous enemies several powerups can be picked up in each stage including life energy special weapon ammunition extra lives and etanks which are stored and can be selected to completely refill the player s life energy at the end of every stage the player must defeat a robot master boss magnet man hard man top man shadow man spark man snake man gemini man or and stage related to the weapon s power after defeating a boss their signature weapon is added to mega man s arsenal the robot masters are weak to the weapons of certain other robot masters allowing the player to ease the boss battles by clearing some stages before others mega man is the first mega man game to feature the slide maneuver which lets the player slip under enemy attacks and lowlevel barriers after completing certain stages mega man can access new abilities in his robot dog companion rush rush s transformations include the rush coil for jumping higher the rush jet for flying around the screen and the rush marine for traveling underwater throughout the various stages the player encounters proto man as break man a miniboss who once defeated will open passageways for the player to advance mega man also expands upon the two preceding games by having additional stages set between the initial eight robot masters a password system can be used to return to the game with most of the stages completed development development on mega man began at capcom over a year after the release of mega man the lead supervisor for the first two games quit his job at the company during that gap of time artist keiji inafune credited as inafking considered mega man as one of his least favorite entries in the series due to what went into the game and what was behind the release of the game he had preset notions about successful development because of the team s good experience with mega man and found that his new superior did nt really understand mega man the way his predecessor did during the game s production the developers lost the main planner so inafune had to take over that job for its completion inafune recalled the final two months of development as particularly and dividing up tasks among the team members who were not meeting deadlines the team was forced to put mega man on the market before they thought it was ready inafune concluded i knew that if we had more time to polish it we could do a lot of things better make it a better game but the company said that we needed to release it the whole environment behind what went into the production of the game is what i least favored numbers one and two i really wanted to make the games i was so excited about them number three it just turned very different mega man brought new characters and gameplay mechanics to the franchise though inafune considers the gameplay to have lost some of its simplicity he felt mega man s slide ability was successfully implemented to enhance the player s control while battling enemies mega man s sidekick dog rush was designed by combining the functionality of three support tools from the player s navigation of stages in addition to the marine and coil modes rush was originally intended to have a drill mode that would allow mega man to tunnel underground another new character proto man was introduced in a way that the player would be unable to tell if he was an ally or an enemy to mega man his design was influenced by anime and he was given both a scarf and shield to make him appear tougher than mega man the design team wanted proto man to sport uncovered hair but they instead opted for an openfaced helmet illustration for both the television commercials and instruction manual proto man s original japanese name blues was changed by capcom s north american division despite inafune s protests capcom did this not only to be consistent with rockman s english name but because they thought that the name blues made no sense inafune attempted to defend it due to the name s musical connotation to character names in the series though rush and proto ideas from fans for the creation of the game s robot masters as they had done with mega man the team received around design submissions for mega man only eight of which were used in the game the soundtrack for mega man was created by capcom composer yasuaki fujita also known as bun bun his wife harumi credited in special thanks as mrs tarumi was the initial composer of the game but she only completed two songs before giving birth and dropping off the project fujita cocomposed the score for the followup mega man with minae fujii in reception mega man has enjoyed a positive reception from print and online sources lucas m thomas of ign christian nutt and justin speer of gamespot hartley patricia and kirk lesser the lessers of dragon dan whitehead of eurogamer edward j semrad of electronic gaming monthly egm and the staff of nintendo power all mutually found the game to have impressive graphics enjoyable music and challenging gameplay nutt and speer summarized mega man as a topnotch game and capcom s pinnacle of nes effort ign s colin moriarty argued the game as a major improvement over the original mega man and that it even surpasses the critically acclaimed mega man in quality moriarty justified this claim with the third installment s attempt at better storytelling its longer length than any other classic mega man game and its inclusion of all eight mega man robot masters in addition to its own some critics have judged mega man to be excessively difficult gamepro contributor mckinley noble comically stated that actions such as pulling teeth lifting a car over your head or mega man whitehead noted leaps must be precise enemies must be dispatched rapidly and accurately and there s a constant state of delicious nearpanic as you wait to see what vicious demands the next room will place on your platforming skills the lessers additionally saw considerable flicker when too many sprites appear onscreen at once the writers mentioned that it detracted from the normally crisp graphics the few times it was noticed since its release mega man has sold over one million copies

 art theft is usually for the purpose of resale or for ransom sometimes called artnapping stolen art is sometimes used by criminals as collateral to secure loans only a small percentage of stolen art is recoveredestimates range from to this means that little is known about the scope and characteristics of art theft individual theft many thieves are motivated by the fact that valuable art pieces are worth millions of dollars and weigh only a few kilograms at most transport for items such as paintings is also trivial assuming the thief is willing to inflict some damage to the painting by cutting it off the frame and rolling it up into a tube carrier also while most highprofile museums have extremely tight security many places with multimillion art collections works have disproportionately poor security measures that makes them susceptible to thefts that are slightly more complicated than a typical smashandgrab but offer a huge potential payoff for those with substantial collections such as the marquess of cholmondeley at houghton negotiable jeanbaptiste oudry s white duck was stolen from the cholmondeley collection at houghton hall in the canvas is still missing prevention in museums museums can take numerous measures to prevent the theft of artworks include having enough docents or guards to watch displayed items avoiding situations where

recovery in the public sphere interpol the fbi art crime team london s metropolitan police new york police department s special frauds squad and a number of other law enforcement agencies worldwide maintain squads dedicated to investigating thefts of this nature and recovering stolen works of art according to robert king wittman a former fbi agent who led the art crime team until his retirement in the unit is very small compared with similar lawenforcement units in europe and most art thefts investigated by the fbi involve agents at local offices who handle routine property theft art and antiquity crime is tolerated in part in state theft wartime looting and misappropriation by museums from through the end of world war ii the nazi regime maintained a policy of looting art for sale or for removal to museums in the third reich hermann gring head of the luftwaffe personally took charge of hundreds of valuable pieces generally stolen from jews and other victims of the holocaust in early about art masterpieces assumed to have been stolen by the nazis during and before world war ii were confiscated from a private home in munich germany the confiscation was not made public until november with an estimated value of billion their discovery is considered astounding and includes works by pablo picasso henri matisse marc chagall paul klee max beckmann and emil nolde all of which were considered lost the looted mostly modernist art was banned by the nazis when they came to power on the grounds that it was ungerman or jewish bolshevist in nature by the nazis may be able to claim ownership of many of the works members of the families of the original owners of these artworks have in many cases persisted in claiming title to their prewar property the film the train starring burt lancaster is based on the true story of works of art which had been placed in storage for protection in france during the war but was looted by the germans from french museums and private art collections to be shipped by train back to germany another film the monuments men coproduced cowritten and directed by george clooney is based on a similar truelife story in this film us

paid for a painting the remaining four restituted paintings were later sold at christie s new york for over million because antiquities are often regarded by the country of origin as national

filled with strong personalities the party had in fact begun to fragment along political and personal lines since the late s with wlter guevara being the first to leave and the popular juan lechn being expelled in siles went on to form the revolutionary nationalist leftwing movement mnri and lechn the revolutionary party of the nationalist left prin the years with the main body of the mnr firmly in paz estenssoros s control the old leader made what can be seen as a major mistake in when he supported the coming to power of dictator hugo banzer surez it was a move that was to cost his party dearly at the polls in subsequent years while paz seemed to be moving steadily to the right siles zuazo went on to lead the udp union democratica popular in alliance with the new and popular movimiento de izquierda revolucionaria mir indeed siles was the postmnr politician who was best able to capitalize on the remaining legitimacy and respect that accrued to the mnr as a result of the revolution paz estenssoro led the mnrproper in the and elections finishing third second and second respectively he was finally elected president for the th time in and served as bolivia s chief executive from until when he retired from politics by this and now advocated neoliberal economic policies under paz important economic reforms designed to curb hyperinflation were instituted the labor unions were repressed and miners were fired from state payrolls as a result of the collapse of global tin prices the painful readjustment policies adopted by the elderly paz and his vigorous minister of planning gonzalo sanchez de lozada came to be known as the new economic policy nep and restructured the bulk of the hitherto statist and now neoliberal bolivian economy led by sanchez de lozada the mnr won the elections and sanchez was confirmed as president by parliament he continued the policies of the nep the party placed second in with juan carlos durn the bolivian constitution prohibits direct reelection of a sitting president who lost the contest and the presidency to the former dictator banzer at the legislative elections of june the party together with the free bolivia movement won of the popular vote and out of in the senate following these elections because no candidate could get a majority the congress chose the president and they chose snchez de lozada in however he was forcwed to resign and his successor carlos mesa took over as an independent he was never a party member in hopes of promoting national unity in the face of nationwide protests mesa later resigned and presidential elections were moved up to december the mnr earned of the popular vote and won out of seats in the chamber of deputies and out of seats in the senate in the legislative elections its

 project habakkuk or habbakuk spelling varies see below was a plan by the british in world war ii to construct an aircraft carrier out of pykrete a mixture of wood pulp and ice for use against german uboats in the midatlantic which were beyond the flight range of landbased planes at that time the idea came from geoffrey pyke who worked for combined operations headquarters history initial concept geoffrey pyke was an old friend of jd bernal and had originally been recommended to lord mountbatten chief of combined operations by the cabinet minister leopold amery pyke worked at combined operations headquarters cohq alongside bernal and was regarded as a genius by mountbatten pyke conceived the idea of habbakuk while in the us organising the production of m weasels for project plough a scheme to assemble an elite unit for winter operations in norway romania and the italian alps he had been considering the problem of how to protect seaborne landings and atlantic was that steel and aluminium were in short supply and required for other purposes pyke realized that the answer was ice which could be manufactured for only of the energy needed to make an equivalent mass of steel he proposed that an iceberg natural or artificial be levelled to provide a runway and hollowed out to shelter aircraft from new york pyke sent the proposal he had composed on habbakuk via diplomatic bag to cohq with a label forbidding anyone apart from mountbatten from opening the package mountbatten in turn passed pyke s proposal on to churchill who was enthusiastic about it pyke was not the first to suggest a floating midocean stopping point for aircraft nor even the first to suggest that such a floating island could be made of ice german scientist dr gerke von waldenburg proposed the idea and carried out some preliminary experiments in lake zurich in the idea was a recurring one in an idea for an ice island was circulated round the admiralty but was treated as a a memorandum that gathered ever more caustic comments the document had to be retrieved just before it reached the sea lord s inbox code name and spelling the project s code name seems to have been consistently mis spelled habbakuk in the admiralty and government documents at the time this may in fact have been pyke s own error as at least one early document apparently written by him though unsigned spells it that way however postwar publications by people concerned with the project eg perutz and goodeve all restore the proper one b and three k s spelling the name is a biblical reference to the project s ambitious goal be utterly amazed for i am going to do something in your days that you would not believe even if you were told habakkuk niv david lampe in his book pyke the unknown genius states that the and was misspelt by his canadian secretary however the word does not actually appear in that text so this is probably inaccurate pykrete in early pyke and bernal called in max perutz to determine whether an ice floe large enough to withstand atlantic conditions could be built up fast enough he pointed out that natural icebergs have too small a surface above water for an airstrip and are prone to suddenly rolling over the project would have been abandoned except for the invention of pykrete a mixture of water and woodpulp which frozen together was stronger than plain ice was slower melting and of course would not sink it has been suggested that pyke was inspired by inuit sleds reinforced with moss this is probably apocryphal as the material was originally described in a paper by mark and hohenstein in brooklyn ny pykrete could be machined like wood and cast into shapes like metal and when immersed in water formed an insulating shell of wet wood pulp on its surface perutz found a problem ice slowly flows in what is known as plastic flow and his tests showed that a pykrete ship would slowly sag unless it was cooled to c to accomplish this the ship s surface would have to be protected by insulation and it would need a refrigeration plant and a complicated system of ducts experiments on the viability of pykrete and the optimum composition of it were conducted by perutz in a secret location underneath smithfield meat market in the city of london the research took place in a refrigerated meat locker behind a protective screen of frozen animal carcasses scale model the decision was made to build a large scale model at jasper national park in canada to examine insulation and refrigeration techniques and to see how it would stand up to artillery and explosives at lake louise alberta large ice blocks were constructed and a small prototype was constructed at patricia lake alberta measuring only by feet by m weighing in at the work was done by conscientious objectors who did alternative service of various kinds instead of military service they were never told what they were building bernal informed cohq that the canadians were building a ton model and that it was expected to take men days to build it the chief of combined operations cco responded that churchill had invited the chiefs of staff committee to arrange for an order to be placed for one complete ship at once with the highest priority with further ships to be ordered immediately if it appeared the scheme was certain of success the canadians were confident about constructing a vessel for the necessary materials were available to them in the form of tons of wood pulp tons of fibreboard insulation tons of timber and tons of steel the cost was estimated at meanwhile perutz had determined via his experiments at smithfield market that the optimum structural properties were given by a mixture of wood pulp and water he that if certain tests were not completed in may there would be no chance of delivering a completed ship in by may the problem of plastic flow had become serious and it was obvious that more steel reinforcement would be needed as well as a more effective insulating skin around the vessel s hull this caused the cost estimate to increase to million in addition the canadians had decided that it was impractical to attempt the project this coming season and bernal and pyke were forced to conclude that no habbakuk vessel would be ready in pyke was excluded from the planning for habbakuk in an effort to secure american participation a decision which bernal supported pyke s earlier disagreements with american personnel on project plough which ultimately caused his removal from that project were the main factor in this decision in the early summer of naval architects and engineers continued to work on habbakuk with bernal and perutz the requirements for the vessel became more demanding it had to have a largest waves recorded while the admiralty wanted it to be torpedoproof which meant that the hull had to be at least ft m thick the fleet air arm decided that heavy bombers should be able to take off from it which meant that the deck had to be ft m long steering also raised problems it was initially projected that the ship be steered by varying the speed of the motors on either side but the royal navy decided that a rudder was essential however the problem of mounting and controlling a rudder over ft m high was never solved variants naval architects had produced three alternative versions of pyke s original concept which were discussed at a meeting with the chiefs of staff in august habbakuk i soon discarded would have been made of wood habbakuk ii was closest to the cohq model and would be a very large slow selfpropelled vessel made of pykrete with steel reinforcement faster version of habbakuk ii air chief marshal portal asked about potential bomb damage to habbakuk iii and bernal suggested that a certain amount of deck covering might be ripped off but could be repaired by some kind of flexible matting it would be more difficult to deal with bomb holes in the centre portion though the roof over the aircraft hangars would be made proof against kg bombs bernal considered that no one could say whether the larger habbakuk ii was a practical proposition until a large scale model could be completed and tested in canada in the spring of he had no doubts about the suitability of pykrete as a material but said that constructional and navigational difficulties remained to be overcome the final design of habbakuk ii gave the bergship as it was referred to a displacement of million tons steam turbogenerators were to supply hp for electric motors mounted in separate external nacelles normal for an ice craft its armament would have included dualbarrelled dp dualpurpose turrets and numerous light antiaircraft guns and it would have housed an airstrip and up to twinengined bombers or fighters shooting incident according to some accounts at the quebec conference of lord mountbatten brought a block of pykrete along to demonstrate its potential to the bevy of admirals and generals who had come along with winston churchill and franklin d roosevelt mountbatten entered the project meeting with two blocks and placed them on the ground one was a normal ice block and the other was pykrete he then drew his service pistol and shot at the first block it shattered and splintered next he fired at the pykrete to give an idea of the resistance of that kind of ice to projectiles the bullet ricocheted off the block grazing the trouser leg of admiral ernest king and ended up in the wall sir alan brooke s diaries support this account telling how mountbatten brought two blocks first shooting at the ice with a warning to beware of splinters mountbatten said i shall fire at the block on the right to show you the difference brooke reports the bullet rebounded out of the block and buzzed round our legs like an angry bee the meeting in question was a highlevel summit with a us delegation in the chteau frontenac in quebec max perutz gives an account of a similar incident in his book i wish i made you angry earlier a demonstration of pykrete was given at combined operations headquarters cohq by a naval officer lieutenant commander douglas grant who was provided by perutz with rods of ice and pykrete packed with dry ice in thermos flasks and large blocks of ice and pykrete grant demonstrated the comparative strength of ice and pykrete by firing bullets into both blocks the ice shattered but the bullet rebounded from the pykrete and hit the chief of the imperial staff sir alan brooke in the shoulder later that year habbakuk began to lose priority mountbatten listed several reasons the great demand for steel permission had been received from portugal to use airfields in the azores which facilitated the hunting of uboats in the atlantic the introduction of longrange fuel tanks that allowed britishbased aircraft extra patrol time over the atlantic increased numbers of escort carriers in addition mountbatten himself had withdrawn from the project the final habbakuk board meeting took place in december and it was announced that the large habbakuk ii made of pykrete has been found to be impractical because of the enormous production resources required and technical difficulties involved the use of ice had actually been falling out of favour before that with other ideas for floating islands being considered such as welding liberty ships or landing craft together project tentacle it took three hot summers to completely melt the prototype constructed in canada perutz in his account writes that he sojourned in washington dc while us navy engineers evaluated the finally decided that habakkuk was a false prophet one reason was the enormous amount of steel needed for the refrigeration plant that was to freeze the pykrete was greater than that needed to build the entire carrier of steel but the crucial argument was that the rapidly increasing range of landbased aircraft rendered floating islands unnecessary criticism the habakkuk design received criticism notably from sir charles goodeve assistant controller of research and development for the admiralty during world war ii in an article published after the war goodeve pointed out the large amount of wood pulp that would be required enough to affect paper production significantly he also claimed that each ship would require tons of cork insulation thousands of miles of steel tubing for brine circulation and four power stations but that for all those resources some of which could be used to manufacture conventional ships of more effective fighting power habakkuk would only be capable of six knots of speed much of his article also contained extensive derisive comments about the properties recreations in the april episode of mythbusters jamie hyneman and adam savage built a small boat out of a modified formulation of pykrete using newspaper instead of wood pulp they successfully piloted the boat in alaskan waters at a speed of based on this success they determined that it is possible to build a boat out of pykrete they also determined that pykrete lived up to its purported properties of being bulletproof stronger than ice and taking longer to melt than ice however they expressed doubt that an aircraft carrier made of pykrete could have survived long ref cite episode in september the bbc programme bang goes the theory also attempted to recreate a pykrete boat a hull using kg of hemp fibre pykrete was frozen in a coldstore then launched in portsmouth harbour for a planned trip across the solent to cowes the hull immediately started to leak due to holes that had been cut in its rear side

 birthplace new york city deathplace hollywood california herman jacob mankiewicz pronounced november march was an american screenwriter who with orson welles wrote the screenplay for citizen kane earlier he was the berlin correspondent for the chicago tribune and the drama critic for the new york times and the new yorker alexander woollcott said that herman mankiewicz was the funniest man in new york both mankiewicz and welles received academy awards for their screenplay he was often asked to fix the screenplays of other writers with much of his work uncredited what distinguished his writing from that of other writers were occasional flashes of the mankiewicz humor and satire that became valued in the films of the s that style of writing included a slick satirical and witty humor which depended almost totally on dialogue to carry the film it was a of that period film author pauline kael credits mankiewicz with having written alone or with others about forty of the films i remember best from the twenties and thirties adding i had nt realized how extensive his career was he was a key linking figure in just the kind of movies my friends and i loved best these were the hardestheaded periods of american movies among the screenplays he wrote or worked on besides citizen kane were the wizard of oz man of the world dinner at eight pride of the yankees and the pride of st louis mankiewicz s younger brother was joseph l mankiewicz also an oscarwinning hollywood director screenwriter and producer personal life herman mankiewicz was born in new york city in his parents were of german jewish ancestry his father franz mankiewicz hamburg in he arrived in the us with his wife a dressmaker named johanna blumenau who was from the germanspeaking kurland region the family lived first in new york and then moved to wilkesbarre pennsylvania where herman s father accepted a teaching position in herman s brother joseph l mankiewicz who himself would have a career as a successful writer producer and director was born and both boys and a sister spent their childhood there the family moved to new york city in and herman graduated from columbia university in he became an alcoholic which hurt his career by the late s his children are screenwriter don mankiewicz politician frank mankiewicz and the late novelist johanna mankiewicz davis writer and screenwriter early career while a reporter in berlin for the chicago tribune he also sent pieces on drama and books to the new york times at one point he was her publicist in preparation for her return tour in america at home again in the us he took a job as a reporter for the new york world he was known as a gifted prodigious writer and contributed to vanity fair magazine success in hollywood after a month in the movie business mankiewicz signed a year s contract at a week plus bonuses by the end of he was head of paramount s scenario department and film critic pauline kael who wrote about him and the creation of citizen kane in raising kane her famous new yorker article wrote that in january there was a newspaper item reporting that he was in new york lining up a new set of newspaper feature writers and playwrights to bring to hollywood and that most of the newer writers on paramount s staff who contributed the most successful stories of the past year eyman notes that mankiewicz was put in charge of writer recruitment by paramount however as a harddrinking gambler he hired men in his own image ben hecht bartlett cormack edwin justus mayer writers comfortable with the iconoclasm of bigcity newsrooms who would introduce their sardonic worldliness to movie audiences becoming a major screenwriter kael notes that beginning in mankiewicz worked on an astounding number of films in and he did the titles the printed dialogue and explanations for at least twentyfive films that starred clara bow bebe daniels nancy carroll wallace beery and other public favorites by then sound had come in and in he did the script as well as the dialogue for the dummy and did the scripts for many directors including william wellman and josef von sternberg other screenwriters made large contributions too but probably none larger than mankiewicz s according to kael at the beginning of the sound era he was kael writes he wrote the kind of movies that were disapproved of as fast and immoral his heroes were nt softeyed and bucolic he brought goodhumored toughness to the movies and energy and astringency and the public responded because it was eager for modern american subjects according to kael mankiewicz did not work on every kind of picture he did nt do westerns for example and once when a studio attempted to punish him for his customary misbehavior by assigning him to a rin tin tin picture he rebelled by turning in a script that began with the craven dog frightened by a mouse and reached its climax with a house on fire and the dog taking a baby into the flames writer of satire and comedy shortly after his arrival on the west coast he sent a telegram to journalistfriend ben hecht in new york millions are to be grabbed out here and your only competition is idiots do nt let this get around he a burst of creative tough and sardonic styles of writing for the fastgrowing movie industry what distinguished his screenplays were occasional flashes of the mankiewicz humor and satire that proved to be a foreshadowing of a new type of slick satirical typically american film that depended almost totally on dialogue for its success between and he was credited with working on a least twenty films many of which he received no credit for between and he was either producer or associate producer on four comedies and helped write their screenplays without credit laughter monkey business horse feathers and million dollar legs which many critics considered one of the funniest comedies of the early s in he cowrote dinner at eight which was based on the george s kaufmanedna ferber play and became one of the most popular comedies at that time and remains a classic comedy he was assigned as the first of ten screenwriters to work on the wizard of oz three days after he started writing he handed in a seventeenpage treatment of what was later known as the kansas sequence while baum devoted less than a thousand words in his book to kansas mankiewicz almost balanced the attention on kansas to the section about oz he felt it was necessary to have the audience relate to dorothy in a real world before transporting her to a magic one by the end of the week he had finished writing fiftysix pages of the script and included instructions to film the scenes in kansas in black and white his goal according to film historian aljean harmetz was to capture in pictures what baum had captured in wordsthe grey lifelessness of kansas contrasted with the visual richness of oz he was not credited for his work on the film however in looking back on his early films kael writes that mankiewicz had in fact of the films i remember best from the twenties and thirties i had nt realized how extensive his career was and now that i have looked into herman mankiewicz s career it s apparent that he was a key linking figure in just the kind of movies my friends and i loved best these were the hardestheaded periods of american movies and the most highly acclaimed directors of that period suggests that the writers in little more than a decade gave american talkies their character banned by the nazis according to the new york times in while he was a staff writer for mgm the studio was notified by dr paul joseph goebbels then minister of education and propaganda under adolf hitler that films written by mankiewicz could not be shown in nazi germany unless his name was removed from the screen credits citizen kane mankiewicz is best known for his collaboration with orson welles on the screenplay of citizen kane and later became a source of controversy over who wrote what pauline kael attributed kane s screenplay to mankiewicz in an essay for which she did not interview welles and was subsequently strongly disputed by welles and peter bogdanovich much debate has centered around this issue largely because of the importance of the film itself which most agree is a fictionalized biography of newspaper publisher william randolph hearst according to film biographer david thomson however no one can now deny herman mankiewicz credit for the germ shape and pointed language of the screenplay mankiewicz biographer richard meryman notes that the dispute had various causes including the way the movie was promoted when rko opened the movie on broadway on may followed by showings at theaters in other large cities the publicity programs that were printed included photographs of welles as the oneman band directing acting and writing in a letter to his father afterwards mankiewicz wrote i m particulary furious at the the fact is that there is nt one single line in the picture that was nt in writingwriting from and by mebefore ever a camera turned according to film historian otto friedrich it made mankiewicz unhappy to hear welles quoted in louella parsons s column before the question of screen credits was officially settled as saying so i wrote citizen kane mankiewicz went to the screen writers guild and declared that he was the original author welles later claimed that he planned on a joint credit all along but mankiewicz claimed that welles offered him a bonus of ten thousand dollars if he would let welles take full credit the screen writers guild eventually decreed a joint credit with mankiewicz s name first some time later welles commented on this allegation god if i had nt loved him i would have hated him after all those ridiculous stories persuading people i was offering him money to have his name taken off that he would be carrying on around hearst s inner circle he became good friends with hollywood screenwriter charles lederer who was marion davies s nephew lederer grew up as a hollywood habitu spending much time at san simeon where davies reigned as william randolph hearst s mistress as one of his admirers in the early s hearst often invited mankiewicz to spend the weekend at san simeon herman told joe his brother to come to the office of their mutual friend charlie lederer in he suffered a broken leg in a driving accident and had to be hospitalized during his hospital stay one of his visitors was orson welles who met him earlier and had become a great admirer of his wit during the months after his release from the hospital he and welles began working on story ideas which led to the creation of citizen kane despite welles denial that the film was about hearst few people were convincedincluding hearst after the release of citizen kane for writing the story certain elements in the film were taken from mankiewicz s own experience the sled rosebud was basedaccording to some sourceson a very important bicycle that was stolen from him and some of kane s speeches are almost verbatim copies of hearst s most personally the word rosebud was reportedly hearst s private nickname for davies clitoris hearst s thoughts about the film are unknown what is certain is that his extensive chain of newspapers and radio stations blocked all mentions of the film and refused to accept advertising for it while some hearst employees worked behind the scenes to block or restrict its distribution welles version of events welles insisted that citizen kane was an idea he conceived with mankiewicz that was initially titled the american in addition to hearst the character of charles foster kane was also based on publisher robert mccormick and other media moguls including joseph pulitzer as well as businessman samuel insull who built the civic opera the screenplay s use of multiple narrative perspectives came from joseph conrad s heart of darkness which was a work that welles wanted to film welles himself had a relationship several times removed to hearst as marion davies nephew charles lederer had married welles s exwife virginia nicolson welles in lederer became the stepfather of welles daughter welles reportedly gave mankiewicz pages of notes and assigned john houseman to work with him and to ensure mankiewicz stayed sober on welles s instruction houseman wrote the opening narration as a pastiche of the march of time newsreels orson welles explained to peter bogdanovich about the writers working separately by saying i left him on his own finally because we d started to waste too much time haggling so after mutual agreements on storyline and character mank went off with houseman and did his version while i stayed in hollywood and wrote mine taking these drafts welles drastically condensed and rearranged them welles of underplaying mankiewicz s contribution to the script but welles countered the attacks by saying at the end naturally i was the one making the picture after allwho had to make the decisions i used what i wanted of mank s and rightly or wrongly kept what i liked of my own welles added autobiographical allusions to kane most noticeably in the treatment of kane s childhood and particularly regarding his guardianship welles added features from other famous american lives to create a general and mysterious personality rather than the narrow journalistic portrait drawn by mankiewicz academy award celebration citizen kane was nominated for an academy award in every possible category including best original screenplay meryman writes herman insisted he had no chance to win though the hollywood reporter had given the film first place in ten of its twelve divisions the fear of hearst he felt was still alive and hollywood s resentment and distrust of welles lived up to his wonderboy ballyhoo neither welles nor mankiewicz attended the dinner which was broadcast on radio welles was in south america filming carnival and herman refused to attend he did not want to be humiliated said his wife sara richard meryman describes the evening on the night of the awards herman turned on his radio and sat in his bedroom chair sara lay on the bed as the screenplay category approached he pretended to be hardly listening suddenly from the radio half screamed came herman j mankiewicz welles s name as coauthor was drowned out by voices all through the audience calling out mank mank where is he and audible above all others was irene selznick where is he george schaefer film producer the film as a whole richard meryman concludes that taken as a whole citizen kane was overwhelmingly welles s film a triumph of intense personal magic herman that were mined by welles but one marvels at the debt those two selfdestroyers owe to each other without welles there would have been no supreme moment for herman without mankiewicz there would have been no perfect idea at the perfect time for welles to confirm his genius the citizen kane script was true creative symbiosis a partnership greater than the sum of its parts other films mankiewicz wrote and cowrote many other major screenplays including the original version of gentlemen prefer blondes and the pride of the yankees dinner at eight and pride of st louis death mankiewicz was an alcoholic once famously admonishing his hostess at a formal

 marzipan is a confection consisting primarily of sugar or honey and almond meal sometimes augmented with almond oil or extract it is often made into sweets common uses are marzipanfilled chocolate and small marzipan imitations of fruits and vegetables it is also rolled into thin sheets and glazed for icing cakes primarily birthday and wedding cakes and christmas cakes this use is particularly common in england on large fruitcakes marzipan or almond paste may also be used as a cake ingredient as in stollen in some countries it is shaped into small figures of animals as a traditional treat for new year s day marzipan is also used in tortell and in some versions of king cake eaten during the carnival season traditional swedish princess cake is typically covered with a layer of marzipan that has been tinted pale green around the world southern europe in italy particularly in palermo marzipan new world in latin american cuisine marzipan is europe in the netherlands and belgium marzipan figures are given as presents to children during sinterklaas middle east in the middle east marzipan known as lozina which is derived from the word the arabic word for almonds is flavored with orangeflower water and shaped into roses and other delicate flowers before they are baked marzipan can also be made from oatmeal farina or semolina in iran marzipan fruit is a traditional passover treat replacing cookies and cakes india and east asia in the indian state of goa the goan catholic dish mazpon replaces almonds with cashew nuts in the philippines spanish for pili marzipan is made from pili nuts history there are proposed two lines for its origin they are not necessarily contradictory and may be complementary as there have always been mediterranean trade and cooking influences in both cases there is a reason to believe that there is were under muslim control other sources establish the origin of marzipan in china from where the recipe moved on to the middle east and then to europe through alandalus northeast mediterranean line although it is believed to have originated in persia presentday iran and to have been introduced to europe through the turks badem ezmesi in turkish and most notably produced in edirne there is some dispute between hungary and italy over its origin marzipan became a specialty of the baltic sea region of germany in particular the city of lbeck has a proud tradition of marzipan manufacture lbecker marzipan pgi the city s manufacturers like niederegger still guarantee their marzipan to contain two thirds almonds by weight which results in a product of highest quality historically the city of knigsberg in east prussia was renowned for its distinctive marzipan production knigsberg marzipan remains a special type of marzipan in germany that is golden brown on its surface and sometimes embedded known as panis martius or marzapane ie march bread iberian peninsula line another possible geographic origin is in spain then known as alandalus in toledo though more probably during the reign of alfonso vii this specialty was known as postre regio instead of mazapn and there are also mentions in the book of one thousand and one nights of an almond paste eaten during ramadan and as an aphrodisiac mazapn is toledo s most famous dessert often created for christmas and has pgi status almonds have to be at least of the total weight following the directives of mazapn de toledo regulator counseil another idea to support this line is the important tradition of another spanish almondbased christmas confectionery the turron under eu law marzipan must have variations persipan is a similar yet less expensive product kernels many confectionery products sold as marzipan are made from less expensive materials such as soy paste and almond essence german marzipan is made by grinding whole almonds with sugar and partially drying the paste and french marzipan called massepain is made by combining ground almonds with sugar syrup some marzipan is flavored with rosewater spanish marzipan is made without bitter almonds etymology the german name has largely ousted the original english name marchpane with the same apparent derivation march bread the word marchpane occurs in shakespeare s romeo and juliet act scene line marzapane is documented earlier in italian than in any other language and the sense bread for pan is romance the origin could be from the latin term martius panis which means bread of march however the ultimate etymology is unclear for example itself from greek maza meaning pastry and pan meaning bread this can be particularly seen in the provenal massapan the portuguese maapo where is an alternative form for the phoneme ss and old spanish mazapn the change from ss to z in latin words was common in old spanish and the r appeared later though it could also be derived from martis pan bread of march among the other possible etymologies set forth in the oxford english dictionary one theory proposes that the word marzipan may be a corruption of martaban a burmese city famous for its jars the real academia espaola suggests the idea of the spanish word mazapn to be derived from the hispanic arabic pim which is derived from the greek another source could be from arabic mawthbn king who sits still the arabic latinized as matapanus was used to these coins were stored in ornate boxes from about the fifteenth century when the coins were no longer in circulation the boxes became decorative containers for storing and serving luxury sweetmeats one such luxury that crept into the box in the sixteenth century is the nowfamous almondflavored marzipan named at least proximately after the box in which it was stored however if marzipan has its origin in persia it is not unlikely that the name may come from marzban in persian derived from the words marz meaning border or boundary and the suffix bn meaning guardian a class of margraves or military commanders in charge of border provinces of the sassanid empire of persia iran between rd and th centuries ce it is also a possibility that the origin of this dessert and the origin of the term come from different geographical places production to produce marzipan raw almonds are cleaned by sieving air elutriation and other electronic or mechanical devices then immersed in water five minutes this loosens the almond s skin which is removed by passing the almonds through rubbercovered rotating cylinders they are then cooled after which they are coarsely chopped and ground with up to sugar into almond flour the almond flour mixture is roasted and cooled after which sucrose table sugar and possibly a binding agent such as starch syrup or sorbitol are added it may then be molded into any shape

master of foxhounds and was the first wife of crispin moneycoutts the th baron latymer she is the mother of society magician drummond moneycoutts politics deedes came from a family with a tradition of public service he was very proud of the fact that there had been a deedes member of parliament in every century since deedes was elected as the conservative member of parliament mp for ashford in first serving as a junior minister under winston churchill for three years he later entered harold macmillan s cabinet in as minister without portfolio he left the cabinet in as minister of information and subsequently stood down as an mp at the october election journalism and later life he was editor of the daily telegraph from to and after he was replaced by max hastings continued his career as the print unions deedes was made a life peer in becoming baron deedes of aldington in the county of kent though he always preferred to be addressed as bill rather than lord deedes bill deedes continued to comment on social and political issues through his newspaper columns up to his death in his later years he gained a cult fanbase after two memorable appearances on have i got news

august concerning darfur he died on august at his home in kent aged after a short illness the residential street bill deedes way in the village of aldington near ashford is named after him popular culture dear bill deedes was close to margaret thatcher and her husband denis the spoof letters from mr thatcher which appeared in satirical magazine private eye throughout the thatcher years were always addressed to dear bill the bill in question was usually assumed to be deedes however some instalments eg may and november would suggest otherwise the two men regularly played golf together with

 in analytical mechanics specifically the study of the rigid body dynamics of multibody systems the term generalized coordinates refers to the parameters that describe the configuration of the system relative to some reference configuration these parameters must uniquely define the configuration of the system relative to the reference configuration the generalized velocities are the time derivatives of the generalized coordinates of the system an example of a generalized coordinate is the angle that locates a point moving on a circle the adjective generalized distinguishes these parameters from the traditional use of the term coordinate to refer to cartesian coordinates for example describing the location of the point on the circle using x and y coordinates although there may be many choices for generalized coordinates for a physical system parameters are usually selected which are convenient for the specification of the configuration of the system and which make the solution of its equations of motion easier if these parameters are independent of one another then number of independent generalized coordinates is defined by the number of degrees generalized coordinates are usually selected to provide the minimum number of independent coordinates that define the configuration of a system which simplifies the formulation of lagrange s equations of motion however it can also occur that a useful set of generalized coordinates may be dependent which means that they are related by one or more constraint equations holonomic constraints if the constraints introduce relations between the generalized coordinates q sub i sub i n and time of the form math fj q qn t j k math they are called holonomic these constraint equations define a manifold in the space of generalized coordinates q sub i sub i n known as the configuration space it can be advantageous to choose independent generalized coordinates as is done in lagrangian mechanics because this eliminates the need for constraint equations however an unconstrained set for example when dealing with nonholonomic constraints or when trying to find the force due to any constraint holonomic or not dependent generalized coordinates must be employed sometimes independent generalized coordinates are called internal coordinates because they are mutually independent otherwise unconstrained and together give the position of the system nonholonomic constraints a mechanical system can involve constraints on both the generalized coordinates and their derivatives constraints of this type are known as nonholonomic firstorder nonholonomic constraints have the form math gj q qn dotq dotqn t j k math an example of such a constraint is a rolling wheel or knifeedge that constrains the direction of the velocity vector nonholonomic constraints can also involve nextorder derivatives such as generalized accelerations example simple pendulum the relationship between the use of generalized coordinates and cartesian coordinates to characterize the movement of a mechanical system can be illustrated by considering the constrained dynamics of a simple a mass m hanging from a pivot point so that it is constrained to move on a circle of radius l the position of the mass is defined by the coordinate vector r x y measured in the plane of the circle such that y is in the vertical direction the coordinates x and y are related by the equation of the circle math f x y xy l math that constrains the movement of m this equation also provides a constraint on the velocity components math dotf x y xdotx ydoty math now introduce the parameter that defines the angular position of m from the vertical direction it can be used to define the coordinates x and y such that math mathbfr x y lsintheta

which becomes math mlddottheta mglsintheta math or math ddottheta fracglsintheta math this formulation yields one equation because there is a single parameter and no constraint equation this shows that the parameter is a generalized coordinate that can be used in the same way as the cartesian coordinates x and y to analyze the pendulum example double pendulum the benefits double pendulum for

 puch is a manufacturing company located in graz austria the company was founded in by the industrialist johann puch and produced automobiles bicycles mopeds and motorcycles pre johann puch first produced bicycles in in a small workshop called fahrradfabrikation strauchergasse a in graz ten years later he founded his company erste steiermrkische fahrradfabrik ag en first styrian bicycle factory ag puch s company became successful through innovation and quality handicraft rapidly expanding over time it soon began producing motorcycles and mopeds the main production plant later called einserwerk was constructed in the south of graz in the district of puntigam production of engines was started in and cars followed in in the production of the twocylinder puch voiturette began and in a puch car broke the world highspeed record with kmh in puch is known to have produced sedans for members of the horsepower type viii alpenwagen was developed in johann puch went into retirement and became the company s honorary president in that year the company employed about workers and produced bicycles and over motorcycles and cars annually during world war i puch became an important vehicle supplier to the austrohungarian army however with the collapse of the empire following the war the market for automobiles shrank and production was discontinued between wars in an italian engineer giovanni marcellino is said to have been sent by the banks to wind up the puch factory in graz instead of which within a few weeks he had settled down to live in the town designing and then producing a new version of the splitsingle taking his inspiration from industrial counterpiston engines the new engine benefited from the improved breathing of the italian original to which he added asymmetric port timing in puch won the german grand prix with a supercharged splitsingle though in subsequent years the splitsingles with austrodaimler and became a part of the new austrodaimlerpuchwerke this company in its turn merged in with steyr ag to form steyrdaimlerpuch wwii like all enterprises of its kind the puch production plants had to change to arms production during world war ii the existing capacity was insufficient therefore a second plant was constructed and opened in in thondorf graz in the three original assembly halls luxury vehicles for the american market were produced steyrdaimlerpuch is one of the companies known to have benefited from slave labor housed in the mauthausengusen concentration camp system during world war ii slaves from the camp who had initially been worked to death in quarries started to be used in a highly profitable system used by engineering and wareffort companies and amongst them puch had an underground factory built at gusen in postwar years during the period immediately after the war late to the factory was requisitioned and run by the british army reme who used the facilities servicing of british and american military vehicles in an assembly cooperation agreement was signed with fiat in turin the s to the mids saw a sharp increase in production of motorcycles bicycles and mopeds even though puch was a part of steyrdaimlerpuch it still produced products under its own name as well as for steyrpuch and other companies puch gave up racing in the s and splitsingle production ended around puch launched two new motorcycles the and sv the very successful ms moped was launched the legendary puch small car came on the market production of the steyrpuch haflingers started vehicles are produced in total and exported into countries sobiesaw zasada wins the european rally championship on a tr ii the most successful puch product is launched puch maxi moped million of which are built the crosscountry steyrpuch vehicle pinzgauer was launched production production of the fiat with a puch engine commenced harry everts wins the cc motocross world championship for puch recordsetting year seeing the production of over mopeds and motorcycles as well as bicycles a jointventure with mercedesbenz saw puch building the mercedesbenz gclass in graz puch has speed unlimited of wayne nj manufacture a bmx line called the puch trak pro a jointventure with volkswagen saw the volkswagen type t s engine being built in graz a jointventure with fiat where puch designed and built the fourwheel drive mechanics for the fiat panda x mk puch scooters the late s saw strong sales of the puch cc twostroke single motorscooters which had three gears shifted from the left twistgrip these machines developed a reputation for reliability and were popular for daily commuting providing good weather protection and ease of use in this role their moderate performance with a top speed of models had a cc engine and footoperation giving better performance of hp instead of hp but retaining the three gears puch mopeds puch produced the puch maxi puch newport and mk mopeds which were popular from the late s to early s in austria and the netherlands puch mopeds played a big role in the s popular culture puch mopeds in sweden were and still are very popular they were all named after us states except the maxi and the monza some of the more popular models were br the dakota vz cc fancooled speed gearbox in fact the most popular by far br the florida mv cc fancooled speed gearbox br the alabama ds cc fancooled or speed gearbox the oldest mopeds often had a cc fancooled engine with a or speeded gearbox criccrac and newer mopeds had many different always cc engines such as br br fancooled speed mexico br windcooled speed arizona monza m montana monza c br windcooled speed monza speed puch bmx puch began making bmx bikes as early as the s many different models appeared including the challenger invader and trak pro in they worked with speed unlimited in wayne new jersey to manufacture a line of high end bmx race bikes speed unlimited also made bikes for hutch and their own brand thruster the model they made for puch was the trak pro in puch also began sponsoring bmx racers across the united states the green black and white uniform was soon showing up at bmx tracks across america especially in the northeast you can see a collection of puch s at the puch maxi the maxi is one of puch s most well known machines along with the magnum and newport models the puch maxi is a moped fitted with a single cylinder cc two stroke engine rider at speeds of mph kmh it was started using the pedals which could be engaged and disengaged from the engine via a starting lever so it could be ridden as a normal bicycle later models did not have pedals and instead were started with a kick start mechanism puch motorcycle marketed as the twingle legacy in the late s the company was being squeezed out by competition in massive restructuring of the company led to the end of the production of twowheelers in graz the company s technical knowhow was always better than its marketing and commercial success the puch motorcycle company was sold to piaggio maker of the vespa in and still produces bikes under the name puch when the bicycle division of piaggio which also included bianchi bicycles was sold to the swedish grimaldi industri group in puch became part of cycleurope in austrian entrepreneur josef faber took control of the brand with the line of bicycles manufactured wheel drive vehicles and parts still exists next to the piaggio division the socalled einserwerk the first production plant shut down in the early s the historical assemblyhall was declared a protected industrial monument when graz became european capital of culture in a puch museum was opened in one of the former assembly halls puch sold the entire production line of puch maxi plus to hero motors when production ended in

rival krc mechelen the club had a first successful period in the s during world war ii in the club won their first domestic title the second title came a few years later in and in the club was successful again after that the club fell back in they managed to finish third only one point behind champions rsc anderlecht but that was their last good season two years later mechelen was relegated to second division during the s and the s mechelen went up and down between the first and second division the club enjoyed a spell of both domestic and european success in the period of during these seasons mechelen won one belgian championship and one belgian cup title they also finished nd in the after winning the domestic cup title in and hence qualifying for the european cup winners cup they completed the extraordinary achievement of winning this tournament in mechelen are the last belgian team that has won a european trophy kv mechelen seemed to be on its way to becoming one of the top clubs in belgium but quickly declined when their chairman cordier who owned the rights to most of their players was forced to sell many players due to his company s bad results on june the team achieved promotion to the belgian first division two years later in kv mechelen played the finale of the belgian cup losing it to krc genk one year after that they stranded in the semi finale with a

 automatic terminal information service or atis is a continuous broadcast of recorded noncontrol aeronautical information in busier terminal ie airport areas atis broadcasts contain essential information such as weather information which runways are active available approaches and any other information required by the pilots such as important notams pilots usually listen to an available atis broadcast before contacting the local control unit in order to reduce the controllers workload and relieve frequency congestion the recording is updated in fixed intervals or when there is a significant change in the information eg a change in the active runway it is given a letter designation eg bravo from the icao spelling alphabet the letter progresses down the alphabet with every update and starts at alpha after a break in service of hours or more when contacting the local control unit a pilot will indicate heshe has information letter where letter is the atis identification letter atc controller to verify whether the pilot has all the current information sample messages example see metar for a more indepth explanation of aviation weather messages and terminology example on tuning to an atis frequency a pilot might hear vancouver international information bravo one three five five zulu weather wind three zero zero at eight visibility five five hundred few one thousand

the controller gives you need to be read back to the controller to confirm you have received them properly finally inform the controller that you have information bravo ie this information when you first talk to him or her system operation the atis at an airport is usually given by an automated voice this allows atis message instead of making a timeconsuming voice recording although at some smaller less busy airports with a control tower it may be made by a controller and not a computer most airports in a certain country will often have the same atis format or layout with the same automated voice for example all atis information at major airports in the united kingdom such as heathrow gatwick manchester birmingham edinburgh and even smaller ones such as east midlands and newcastle have a similar format or layout and are all given by the same automated voice luton information oscar time runway in use expect an ils approach surface wind knots visibility kilometers or

and both airports use one for arrivals and the other for departures they have two atis frequencies one for arrivals and one for departures manchester only uses its second runway parttime however both atis frequencies still remain active when only one runway is active both atis services will have a recorded message saying single runway operations after it gives the runway in use when this is the case technical background atis systems can be classified into solidstate and pcbased solidstate atis systems are microcontrollerpowered devices that incorporate speech synthesis and data processing in a single piece of proprietary equipment while pcatis systems are based on cotshardware like normal rackmounted pcs with multiple highperformance soundcards datis datis is a textbased digitally transmitted version of the atis audio broadcast it is accessed via a data link service such as the acars and displayed on an electronic display in the aircraft datis is incorporated on the aircraft as part of its electronic system such as an efb or an fms datis may be incorporated into the core atis system or be realized as a separate system with a data interface between voice atis and datis 
 the book of the law of the lord is a book accepted as scripture by the church of jesus christ of latter day saints strangite it is alleged to be a translation by the strangite prophet james strang of the plates of laban originally acquired by nephi a leading character in the early portion of the book of mormon strang claimed to have translated them using the urim and thummim which was used by joseph smith to translate the book of mormon however the book of the law of the lord bears little resemblance to the material described in the book of mormon as being engraved on the plates of laban rather strang s book comprises a rather elaborate constitution for a mormon kingdom in which the prophetleader of the latter day saint church equally rules as king over god s kingdom on earth it also contains various other revelations and teachings unique to strang james j strang james j strang was a lawyer and newspaper editor from new york who converted in shortly after his baptism joseph smith jr founder of the church was murdered by a mob upon smith s death a number of individuals came forward claiming a divine mandate to lead his church including strang as a recent convert strang did not possess the name recognition among rankandfile mormons held by brigham young and sidney rigdon two other contenders for lds leadership hence he faced an uphill battle in his quest to be recognized as the heir to smith s prophetic mantle to advance his cause strang asserted that unlike rigdon and young he had hard evidence of his prophetic calling in september he announced the discovery of the voree record the final testament of an ancient native american engraved on three brass plates dug up near voree wisconsin his headquarters at the time however strang s claims to possession of divinelyrevealed ancient records and the ability to correctly translate them did not end there in book of the law of the lord a far more substantial work alleged provenance of the book strang explained that the book of the law as it is often callednot to be confused with aleister crowley s book of the same title was kept in the ark of the covenant and was held too sacred to go into the hands of strangers however when the septuagint translation was made the book of the law was kept back and lost to the jewish nation in the time that they were subject to foreign powers thus the various books in the pentateuch containing abstracts of some of the laws have been read instead of it until even the existence of the book has come to be a matter of doubt strangites believe that their book of the law is identical to the one mentioned in the bible they also identify the book of the law with the stick of judah mentioned in this is in marked contrast to other latter day as the bible the lds and community of christ churches the two largest factions of the latter day saint movement each reject james strang s claims to prophetic leadership and his book of the law of the lord witnesses seven witnesses testified to having seen and handled the plates that strang claimed to possess they described them as being eighteen in number each measuring approximately seven and threeeighths inches wide by nine inches long their brazen surfaces were occasionally embellished with beautiful pictures and all appeared to be of beautiful antique workmanship bearing a striking resemblance to the ancient oriental languages the witnesses names were samuel graham samuel p bacon warren post phineas wright albert n hosmer ebenezer page and jehiel savage wright and post served as apostles under strang warren post wrote in his journal that the plates weighed approximately six pounds although some of these witnesses later left strang s church none of them is known to have ever denied their the subsequent history of strang s plates of laban and their current whereabouts is a mystery editions of and the book of the law of the lord was published in two separate editions during james strang s lifetime the first edition of contained only eighty pages and consisted of material translated directly from the plates of laban with five exceptions three revelations given to strang and two sections written by inspiration of god in contrast the edition of comprised pages including all of the text in the edition plus ten new chapters and a series of notes added by strang to explain the text the edition is the one generally used by strangites today it was never bound with a title page or preface subsequent reprints have used the title page testimony and preface from the edition in fact the edition was not bound at all until after strang s death as he was assassinated before this was completed its uncut strang s disciples both editions of the book of the law are dated according to the year of james strang s reign the edition is annotated a r i while the edition carries the date a r vi monarchy and priesthood the most distinctive element of the book of the law is its overtly monarchial tone also of interest are the singular subdivisions strang makes within the melchizedek priesthood which his book refers to as the priesthood of an endless life and the aaronic priesthood referred to as the priesthood of life in the melchizedek priesthood strang enumerates two orders that of apostles and that of priests apostles are subdivided into four degrees the prophetpresident of the strangite church is openly referred to throughout the book as a king rather than as a president as under joseph smith his counselors are designated as viceroys viceroys are referred to as kings too though this does not indicate a share in the unique royal dignity accorded to in his kingdom forever the leader of strang s apostles is designated as prince and grand master of the seventies a quorum of evangelists not to be confused with the lds and community of christ office of patriarch is established to be apostles to a single nation kindred tongue or people unlike the twelve who were sent to all nations seven evangelists formed a quorum and strang noted that such a body had never been organized in this dispensation this priesthood office was unique to the strangite organization and does not correspond in any way to the office of evangelist found in some other latter day saint churches priests are subdivided into two degrees high priests were to include all inferiour kings patriarchs or heads of tribes and nobles or heads of clans furthermore strang continued they who hold it are called sons of god from this group said the book of the law the king was to select counsellors judges offices of seventy and elder as generally constituted in joseph smith s church in the aaronic priesthood strang enumerates three orders priests were to teach preach and baptize but not as in the doctrine and covenants to bless the sacrament that was reserved to the high priests of the melchizedek priesthood they were subdivided into two courses one of which the singers was opened to women sacrificators who were to kill sacrifices in accordance with appropriate provisions of the book of the law see below under animal sacrifice and singers who were to sing during the various services to be held in strangite temples no such temple was ever constructed by the strangites nor were its services ever apparently composed teachers were not merely to instruct in spiritual matters but secular ones as well they were to staff schools throughout strang s kingdom this office like the office of priest singer was opened to women and was subdivided into five degrees deacons were to serve as stewards and keepers of the kings prisons and stewards of the kings courts they were subdivided into three degrees marshals stewards and ministers in addition a king s council and a king s court were established while no direct link is made between the king s court and the high council established in the doctrine and covenants certain parallels exist such as requiring all members to hold the high priesthood and limiting their number to twelve although strang briefly enjoyed the services of apostle william smith as chief patriarch of his church he makes no mention of this office anywhere in his book the decalogue another unique feature of the book of the law is its version of the decalogue the ten commandments allegedly given to moses on sinai strang s rendering is different from any other jewish catholic islamic or protestant version for it offers a commandment none of the others has thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself that no other version of the decalogue contains more than nine commandments he equally speculates that his fourth commandment was lost perhaps as early as josephus time circa adce ordination of women as noted above the book of the law opened two priesthood offices to women priest and teacher while only the course of singer in the office of priest was open to females all five degrees in the office of teacher were available furthermore they could serve as leaders of the singers strang ordained women to these ministries as early as and permitted them to lecture in his school of the prophets by in contrast the community of christ church opened its ministry to females in while the lds church does not ordain women to priesthood offices animal sacrifice animal sacrifice was instituted in the book of the law both for forgiveness of sins and as a part of strangite celebration rituals however given the prohibition on sacrifices for sin contained in rather he focused on sacrifice as an element of religious celebration especially the commemoration of his own coronation as king july the head of every house from the king to his lowest subject was to offer a heifer or a lamb or a dove every man a clean beast or a clean fowl according to his household the killing of sacrifices was a prerogative of strangite priests but female priests were specifically barred from participating in this aspect of the priestly office firstfruits offerings were also demanded of all strangite agricultural harvests animal sacrifices are no longer practiced by the strangites though belief in their correctness is still required monotheism and the vocation of jesus christ some of the teachings in the book of the law differed substantially from those held by other mormon sects for instance in his note on the sacrifice of christ and the true god strang rejected both the traditional christian doctrine of the virgin birth of jesus christ gods he insisted that there was but one eternal god the father and that progression to godhood a doctrine allegedly taught by joseph smith was impossible god had always been god said strang and he was one person not three as in the traditional christian trinity jesus christ said strang was the naturalborn son of mary and joseph who was chosen from before all time to be the savior of mankind but who had to be born as an ordinary mortal of two human parents rather than being begotten by the father or the holy spirit to be able to truly fulfill his messianic role strang claimed that the earthly christ was in essence adopted as god s son at birth and fully revealed as such during the transfiguration after proving himself to god by living a perfectly sinless life he was enabled to provide an acceptable sacrifice for the sins of men prior to his resurrection and ascension furthermore strang denied that god could do some things were as impossible for him as for us thus he saw no essential conflict between science and religion and while he never openly championed evolution he did state that god was limited in his power by both the matter he was working with and by the eons of time required to organize and shape it he spoke glowingly of a future generation who would make religion a science to be studied by as exact rules as mathematicks the mouth of the seer will be opened strang prophesied and the whole earth enlightened musing at length on the nature of sin and evil strang wrote that of all things that god could give to man he could never give him experience thus if free agency were to be real said strang humanity must be given the opportunity to fail and to learn from its own mistakes the ultimate goal for each human being was to willingly conform oneself to the revealed character of god in every respect preferring or desire for reward but rather on account of the innate loveliness of undefiled goodness of pure unalloyed holiness other distinctive teachings the book of the law taught the seventhday sabbath and commanded it in lieu of sunday it also accredits baptism for the dead but on a far more limited scale than that currently practiced by the lds church baptisms for the dead are not performed by the strangites today although belief in the doctrine is still affirmed eternal marriage is taught in the book of the law though it is not required to be performed in a temple as in the lds church strangite priests elders high priests or apostles of all four degrees may all perform this ceremony eternal marriages are still contracted in the strangite church today oaths are taken very seriously in the book of the law and severe spiritual penalties are forewarned upon all who break their solemn word once given the book of the law permits not only the blessing this is not to be done in anger nor indiscriminately rather it is only to be invoked on such as on deliberate and candid thought are found condemned to them by the law of god and then the curse should be invoked as in the presence of god the searcher of hearts conscious that whosoever curses in the bitterness of his corrupt heart and not in the light of gods truth the curse will return upon him maledictions are also to be performed by strangite leaders upon hereticks schismaticks and those guilty of gross and abominable immoralities and acts of great cruelty and wickedness the strangite practice of maledictions seems comparable to the anathemas pronounced in the new testament and by the roman catholic and eastern orthodox churches conservation of forests and resources is mandated in the book of the law groves of trees were to be maintained upon each farm and in each village and town farms and cities without trees were required to plant them and to establish there to rest and to play strangites are prohibited by the book of the law from dressing ostentatiously various today mostly obsolete styles are banned though allowance is made for those who are sojourning among gentiles to imitate to some moderate extent their foolish and ridiculous styles to avoid impertinent observations the book of the law sanctions marriage only between persons who are not impotent deformed of reduced stature a dwarf or mentally handicapped the image of animal husbandry is invoked the same means which will improve a breed of cattle strang wrote will improve a race of men polygamy plural marriage is sanctioned though not expressly commanded in the book of the law the applicable text reads thou shalt not take unto thee a multitude of wives disproportioned to thy inheritance and thy substance nor shalt thou take wives to vex those thou hast neither shalt thou put away one to take another any wife already married to the prospective polygamist even to object but not to veto the marriage this passage seems to offer any aggrieved wife an appeal to the judges but how this was to be carried out is not made clear strang s defense of polygamy was rather novel he claimed that far from enslaving or demeaning women it liberated and elevated them by allowing them to choose the best possible mate based upon any factors deemed important to themeven if that mate were already married to someone else rather than being forced to wed corrupt and degraded sires due to the scarcity of more suitable men a woman could wed the one she saw as the most compatible to herself the best candidate to father her children and the man who could give her the best possible life no matter how many other wives he might have the practice of plural marriage has never been officially proscribed in the strangite church unlike in the lds church only twentytwo men entered into polygamy and most of them only took one additional wife member in his church polygamy was apparently practiced by a few strangites up to or so to include wingfield w watson a strangite high priest who knew and served under james strang personally however with federal and state bans on the practice and a divine injunction to obey the law of the land plural marriage has been given up in the contemporary strangite church though belief in its correctness is still required and affirmed strangites reject section of the lds doctrine and covenants regarding it as a forgery from that was never received or approved by joseph smith 
 telebit was a usbased modem manufacturer known for their trailblazer series of highspeed modems one of the first modems to routinely exceed bits speeds the trailblazer used a proprietary modulation scheme that proved highly resilient to interference earning the product an almost legendary reputation for reliability despite mediocre or worse line quality they were particularly common in unix installations in the s and s startup telebit was founded by paul baran one of the inventors of the packet switching networking concept baran had recently started a networking company known as packet technologies on bubb road in cupertino california which was working on systems for interactive television while working there he hit on the idea for a new way to implement highspeed modems and started telebit across the street packet technologies was a major beta customer for telebit in late packet technologies later failed and several of their employees were folded into telebit while most of the others formed stratacom makers of the first asynchronous transfer trailblazer negotiating and communicating in contrast to thenexisting itu telecommunication standardization sector itut vseries protocols such as the common bits vbis the trailblazers proprietary packetized ensemble protocol pep modulation employed a large number initially up to of closely spaced carrier frequencies each modulated at baud encoding or bits per interval under favorable conditions the devices could reach data rates of baud x bitsperbaud x carriers bits per second if a particular carrier was distorted attenuated or interfered with it could be turned off allowing the data rate to degrade gracefully with decreasing line quality most modems of the era were set up with both channels with equal speed full duplex or in the case where data was primarily sent in one direction with a single high speed channel half duplex the trailblazer instead allowed any one of its channels to be assigned to transfer data the modem was designed to use most of the bandwidth in a single direction with a relatively low speed reverse channel the modems at the two ends of the connection would negotiate line turnarounds reversing the directions of the highspeed and lowspeed channels based on the amount of data queued for transmission in each modem while this adaptive duplex scheme was able to send large files quickly for users accustomed to having the distant computer echo characters the delay associated with having the dsps take turns using the bandwidth tended make interactive typing difficult as there could be as much as a second and a half delay for a single character echo this also caused problems for file transfer protocols eg uucp g or kermit where a small packet of data was sent by one computer followed by a wait for acknowledgment from the receiver send and wait the trailblazer addressed this problem through a technique known as protocol spoofing when the local computer sent a packet to the modem for ack tt message generated locally this fooled the computer into thinking the packet had already reached the far end prompting it to send another packet the error correction normally being applied in the protocol was instead handled using a proprietary replacement protocol operating on top of the mnp errorcorrecting protocols to talk to the remote modem in general spoofing worked well with any protocol that used small packets and thus generated lots of tt ack tt messages initially uucp and support for xmodem and kermit followed support for these features did not come easily the trailblazer plus for instance used a motorola to drive its electronics this meant that the trailblazers were generally very expensive however its spoofing ability made the trailblazer modems extremely popular in the unix world as it could dramatically improve uucp throughput even at low connection speeds on very noisy lines improvements of over times faster than a bits modem were not uncommon sites that required longdistance telephone calls to exchange uucp mail could fairly quickly the trailblazers also introduced an extensive set of commands for setting up its various options while most of the simple commands were based on the hayes command set like dialing a number or hanging up a phone their proprietary capabilities were supported by proprietary commands and syntax most of these took the form of code register code value pairs leading to extremely long and almost undecipherable setup strings in telebit added the t essentially a trailblazer limited to a lowerspeed bits version of pep remaining compatible at that speed with existing trailblazers the t added support for synchronous communications typically used between mainframe computers the original trailblazer t and t were backwardscompatible with the bits vbis standard allowing them to connect with what was then the most common modem speed when talking to other brands of modems netblazer another telebit product was the first ondemand internet dialup router the netblazer the product was developed by a team led by mike ballard formerly of and president in the original netblazer was a standard pc with a serial card connected to user supplied external modems by serial cables later smaller versions the pn and sti were offered which consisted of a smallformfactor pc combined with custom software and one of a variety of modems or other connection systems isdn etc combined into a large modemlike box administrators connected to it via ethernet which was also used for maintenance commands and setup in its first release the netblazer software supported tcpip using slip but a later upgrade added pointtopoint protocol ppp and support for ipx and appletalk the protocol stack was a commercially licensed version of kaq later versions of the hardware switched from the intel to a lowcost microcontroller version of the motorola the mcen increasing speeds telebit had their initial public offering in april which raised about million it traded on nasdaq with the symbol tbit the first multicompany standard for bits dialup modems was v but rockwell introduced modules and eventually entire chipsets that brought the prices down telebit first offered v support in the t which used the trailblazert hardware with the addition of the rockwell v modem module a version without pep support was offered as the t the later t had basically the same feature set as the t but used telebit s own v implementation rather than the rockwell module resulting in reduced production cost and better performance both the t and t had list prices over at the time a st tier product from hayes or us robotics usr generally cost about the vbis standard increasing the bit rate to bits was introduced in in this case rockwell quickly released a vbis chipset appearing on the market so rapidly that rockwellbased systems generally predated implementations from other companies rockwell also aggressively priced the vbis product line allowing modems based on them to sell at price points around the point formerly held by bits models capabilities all of the st tier companies had serious difficulties adapting to a market that was now filled with lowcost modems with similar or better performance and features than their own highend models telebit started slipping in terms of relative performance while still trying to sell their products at their traditional high price points they finally introduced the t with vbis but without pep though a pep upgrade was planned instead telebit rereleased it in early as the worldblazer model essentially a t with the new bits turbopep mode an upgrade from the t to worldblazer was sold consisting of two firmware roms and a pal chip there were some design studies of a possible fullduplex pep using echo cancellation as is used in v and this technology was proposed to the ccitt now known as the itut for possible adoption as the vfast modem standard however more conventional modem technology was chosen and standardized as v telebit deemed fullduplex pep to require more engineering effort than was justified introduced this feature the octocom merger and the fastblazer v modem the ccitt moved quickly to improve on vbis and by it was clear that the ratification process for their new bits v standard was going to be finalized in companies lined up to start production of new v designs some going so far to introduce models based on interim standards such as vfc telebit s modem engineering team developed a plan for a v modem but the executive staff believed that it was important to get a product to market more quickly to that end they began looking for other modem companies to acquire and in january announce that telebit would acquire octocom systems a small privately held modem company in massachusetts octocom had a v modem in development which was expected to be ready for shipment quickly almost all modem engineering activities at telebit s california offices ceased though netblazer engineering continued to be based in california until the end of the telebit fastblazer v modem first introduced it did not include v support with management stating that they could nt do so because the standard was not yet ratified although this was true for one month anyway it was ratified in june the fastblazer did not ship with an interim standard either even atampt s largely ignored bits vterbo would only be available as a postrelease upgrade in july there were no plans to support the widespread vfc at all and no date was set for full v support other than two or three months making matters worse the fastblazer did nt include fax support while telebit stated that an upgrade to add this would be available they also stated they would be charging for it nor would the fastblazer support pep which although by then a minor consideration for most potential buyers was still a differentiator for telebit s existing installed base for sites with a telebit modem on at least one end of a link a pepcapable upgrade might be worthwhile without pep v modem all this for an introductory price of when vbis faxmodems were available for or less and industrialquality v designs were soon available for under it took seven months before telebit introduced v support in january also releasing the teleblazer lowend model at the same time by this point even longtime supporters were publicly poohpoohing the company on the usenet the medium that originally drove the widespread adoption of the trailblazer next phase late in telebit completed their merger with octocom the idea being to use octocom s chelmsford massachusetts manufacturing capability downsizing the existing sunnyvale office to become a netblazer development site the sunnyvale facility was closed to reduce costs higher than expected operating costs resulted in stagnation with the development of new products by march the company had exhausted its line of credit reducing cash by million on revenues of million in the quarter in july telebit was acquired by cisco systems for million primarily for their channelized t telebit management convinced cisco to spin off the company including all existing product families as well as a paidup license for the use of mica in future products developed by the spinoff to one of the existing management team james d norrod to become telebit incorporated and based in chelmsford in august telebit merged with itk telekommunikation based in dortmund germany the combined company was purchased a year later in july by digi international makers of the digiboard multiport serial card for pcs digi was primarily interested in telebit s isdn product family and eventually other product inventory was liquidated in march legacy while the trailblazers have generally been displaced by modems implementing the higherrate vv series standards and although they have been out of production since the mids many trailblazers continue to be in operation to this date and repair services are still available orthogonal frequencydivision multiplexing ofdm which is used in both the itu asymmetric digital subscriber line adsl and ieee wireless lan standards in particular these protocols reuse pep s concept of carrying a single data link over many lower rate frequencydivision

 in the roman catholic church a transitional deacon is a celibate man who has been ordained a deacon and who intends to become a priest transitional deacons are usually ordained to the diaconate after they complete their third year at the theological seminary for several centuries all roman catholic deacons were in this transitional stage between layman and priest the role of permanent deacon usually a married man who is unable to remarry after ordination if his wife predeceases him was revived after the second vatican council in the s in the old catholic churches whose formal existence stems from the first vatican council in a transitional deacon may generally be celibate engaged in a relationship or married in many groups within the old catholic church only men could be ordained deacon women would not be a deacon but in fact a female deaconess which is still laity and not related to the office of priesthood liturgically the role of deacon is the same as the roman church in the anglican tradition such as the episcopal church in the united states of america a transitional deacon is similar except that in keeping with the differences in the requirements for priesthood from the roman catholic church they may be a man or woman and may be married another historical difference is that an anglican transitional deacon had to first be a graduate of an approved seminary theological college or distance education program today however many dioceses of the episcopal church in the united states of america are changing that and allowing ordination of transitional deacons during the final year of seminary the episcopal church also ordains individuals as vocational deacons see anglican ministry

boris yeltsin s leading opponent in the russian soviet federative socialist republic rsfsr presidential election ryzhkov was born in the city of dzerzhynsk ukrainian soviet socialist republic in after graduating in the s he started work in the s and began his political career in local industry working his way up through the hierarchy of soviet industrial ministries in committee following nikolai tikhonov s resignation as chairman of the council of ministers ryzhkov was voted into office in his place during his tenure he supported mikhail gorbachev s s reform of the soviet economy elected to the state duma of the russian federation in december as an independent ryzhkov subsequently led the power to the people block later becoming the formal leader of the people s patriotic union of russia alongside gennady ziuganov who was an unofficial leader on september he resigned his seat in the duma and became a member of the federation council early life and career ryzhkov was born on september in dzerzhynsk ukrainian soviet socialist republic soviet union he graduated from the ural polytechnic institute in a technocrat he started work as a welder then rose through the ranks at the sverdlovsk uralmash plant to become chief engineer then between ampndash factory director of the uralmash production amalgamation ryzhkov joined the communist party of the soviet union moscow in and appointed to the post of first deputy minister of the ministry of heavy and transport machine building ryzhkov became first deputy chairman of the state planning committee in and was elected to the cpsu central committee in he was one of several members of the soviet leadership affiliated to the andrei kirilenko faction yuri andropov appointed ryzhkov head of the economic department of the central committee where he was responsible for overseeing major planning and financial organs excluding industry as head of the department he reported directly to mikhail gorbachev when gorbachev came to power nikolai tikhonov the chairman of the council of ministers was elected chairman of the newly established commission on improvements to the management system his title of chairman was largely honorary with ryzhkov the de facto head through his position as deputy chairman the km radius was a purely random guess and it was later shown that several areas contaminated with radioactive material were left untouched by government evacuation agencies in the aftermath of ryzhkov promised to rebuild the city of spitak within two years a politburo commission was established to provide guidance for the local assr government with ryzhkov elected its chairman the commission then travelled to the assr to assess damage caused by the earthquake during gorbachev s subsequent visit to the assr and aware of local feelings following the disaster ryzhkov persuaded the less sensitive gorbachev to forgo use of his limousine in favor of public transport when gorbachev left the assr ryzhkov remained to coordinate the rescue operation and made several television appearances which increased his standing amongst the soviet leadership and the people in general with his standing thus boosted on july at the central committee plenum ryzhkov criticised nearly every one of gorbachev s policies further complaining that as party secretary he should devote more time to the party in the end ryzhkov failed in his promise to rebuild spitak partly due to the soviet union s mounting economic problems and partly because many of the city s soviet era buildings their reconstruction more difficult economic policy historian jerry f hough notes that gorbachev treated ryzhkov and his reform attempts just as badly as leonid brezhnev treated alexei kosygin onetime chairman of the council of ministers during the brezhnev era brezhnev s most notable snub was over the soviet economic reform ryzhkov was an early supporter of the gorbachev policy calling for an increase in the quantity and quality of goods planned for production during the period of the twelfth fiveyear plan ampndash to achieve these goals the government pumped money into the machinebuilding sector but as time went by gorbachev increasingly diverged from his original stance he now wanted to increase overall investment in nearly all industrial sectors a move which ryzhkov knew was a budgetary impossibility however ryzhkov s economic policies were not much better as he continued to advocate an unreasonable increase in the production of consumer goods gorbachev and ligachev s antialcohol campaign was opposed by ryzhkov who agreed with the state planning committee and the ministry state billions of rubles in income nevertheless the campaign went ahead losing the soviet government millions in revenues ryzhkov s opposition to the campaign was strengthened by his belief that both gorbachev and ligachev placed ideology before practical considerations and he instead advocated an alternative longterm program rather than one designed to have immediate effect ryzhkov and gorbachev continued their work on economic reform and in began drafting the law on the state enterprise which restricted the authority of central planners this would later come into effect and give workers an unrealistically high level of power nikolai talyzin chairman of the state planning committee became the scapegoat for the failure of this reform and on the orders of ryzhkov he was replaced by yuri maslyukov while supporting the transition away from a planned economy ryzhkov understood that privatisation would weaken the government s power as changes occurred skepticism over perestroika and privatisation was not limited to highlevel government officialdom several middle and lowranking officials who owed their rise in existing system gorbachev also blamed ryzhkov and the council of ministers for the economic difficulties which arose during perestroika a move which fostered resentment for both gorbachev and perestroika nevertheless in ryzhkov stated that he along with the rest of the soviet leadership were already discussing the possibility of creating a market economy in the soviet union ryzhkov supported the creation of a regulated market economy where the government sector occupied the commanding heights of the economy as well as the creation of semi privatepublic companies his second cabinet several highstanding members of the kgb and the military establishment all supported ryzhkov s opposition to the days programme which espoused a quick transition to a market economy matters did not improve when at the second session of the congress of people s deputies of the soviet union ryzhkov proposed postponing the transition to a market economy until further suggesting that in the period between ampndash recentralisation of government activities would ensure a period of of leonid abalkin s and one created by himself in conjunction with the maslyukov chaired state planning committee along with several other government institutions with strong support from ryzhkov gorbachev abolished the central committee economic department thereby strengthening the authority of central government over economic matters from then on the government could not be blamed for economic policies initiated by the party leadership the establishment of the post of president of the soviet union by gorbachev in weakened the power of the government apparatus a move ryzhkov and ryzhkov s second government price reform according to swedish economist anders slund ryzhkov differed little from gorbachev when it came to price reform by ryzhkov increasingly sided with leonid abalkin one of the few economists who advocated fiscal responsibility at the th conference of the central committee abalkin was severely criticised by gorbachev and accused of economic determinism several conference delegates agreed with gorbachev but ryzhkov s support remained solid abalkin was ordered to deliver a report to the presidium of the council put financial stability at the top of its agenda gorbachev disliked abalkin s report and rejected ryzhkov s requests that he support it ryzhkov was then forced to create an even more conservative reform plan for in which price reform was to be postponed until when the abalkin report was proposed at the central committee plenum the majority of delegates indirectly attacked gorbachev for his indecisiveness when it came to the implementation of price reform in april after submitting a draft to the presidential council and the federation council ryzhkov s price reform was initiated however a short while later it was once more put on hold following severe criticism from boris yeltsin and several progorbachev intellectuals the economic turmoil which hit the soviet union in was blamed on ryzhkov even though it was gorbachev who had delayed ryzhkov s proposed reform in his memoirs gorbachev vaguely asserts that a single price increase would be better than several fall from power in august several leading officials tried to persuade gorbachev did not bow to this pressure fearing that ryzhkov s removal would lead to increased activity by many of his prorepublican first secretaries and politburo members ryzhkov s numerous supporters were not concerned about policy issues they backed him simply because he opposed some of gorbachev s economic and political reforms ryzhkov s plan and the days programme were broadly similar with both supporting price liberalisation decentralisation and privatisation in december ryzhkov suffered a heart attack during his recovery the supreme soviet of the soviet union dissolved the council of ministers and replaced it with the cabinet of ministers soviet union rsfsr politics and postsoviet russia after recovering from his heart attack in early ryzhkov stood as the communist candidate in the first election of the president of the russian soviet federative socialist republic rsfsr at the election on june he gained votes equal to of the electorate boris yeltsin beat him decisively with ryzhkov s vice presidential candidate was boris military during the final stages of the war in afghanistan most of ryzhkov s votes came from the countryside while he had hoped to win over voters who were becoming increasingly disenfranchised as a result of perestroika and gorbachev s leadership even though the latter supported his candidacy during the russian legislative election in ryzhkov was one of the founders of the cprfled alliance of leftists and nationalists known as the people s patriotic union of russia ppur and was elected chairman of its duma faction the ppur s formal leaders were ryzhkov and ziuganov who was an unofficial leader in september ryzhkov entered the federation

 deathplace neuillysurseine paris france ahmad shh qjr january february was shah of persia today s iran from july to october and the last ruling member of the qajar dynasty reign ahmad shah ascended to the sun throne on july following the overthrow of his father and predecessor mohammad ali shah who had attempted to reverse earlier constitutional restrictions on royal power and thus enraged the majority of persians it is alleged that ahmad shah was one of the most selfish kings of persia while others regard him as a strong ruler interested in attending to the matters of government after removing muhammad ali shah from power the grand majles placed ahmad shah on the throne the grand majles consisted of delegate members who came from different backgrounds they held a special tribunal in order to punish all those who participated in the civil war among those hanged was sheikh fazlollah noori ahmad by appointing the best ministers he could find he was however an ineffective ruler who was faced with internal unrest and foreign intrusions particularly by the british empire the second majles convened on november and just like the first majlis did not lead to any relevant accomplishment the majles was rendered ineffective because the central government was weak and did not have enough influence to reign in the changes that it had proposed it is alleged that the second majles did not get along with ahmad shah in britain used persia as the springboard for an attack into russia in an unsuccessful attempt to reverse the russian revolution of the newly born soviet union responded by annexing portions of northern persia as buffer states much like its tsarist predecessor marching on tehran the soviets extracted ever more humiliating concessions from the qajar government whose ministers ahmad shah was often unable to control the weakness of the central bureaucracy in the face of such aggression by an atheist foreign power sparked seething anger among many traditional condemn both communism and monarchy as treason against persia s sovereignty and the laws of islam by the government had virtually lost all power outside its capital and ahmad shah had lost control of the situation the anglopersian agreement along with new political parties furthermore immobilized the country the moderates and democrats often clashed particularly when it came to minority rights and secularism the debates between the two political parties led to violence and even assassinations the weak economic state of persia put ahmad shah and his government at the mercy of foreign influence they had to obtain loans from the imperial bank of persia furthermore under the agreement only a small fraction of the income generated by the anglopersian oil company was received by persia on the other hand the red army along with rebels and warlords ruled much of the countryside on february ahmad shah was pushed aside in a military coup by his minister of war and commander of the cossack garrison colonel reza khan who coup reza khan used three thousand men and only eighteen machine guns a very bloodless coup that moved forward quickly reza khan was a selfmade man who climbed his way up through the military ranks and appeared to be the right man to take back control of persia one of his first actions was to rescind the anglopersian treaty and this was seen as a very successful diplomatic move since the treaty was very unpopular in addition he signed the russopersian treaty of friendship this agreement canceled all previous treaties between the two countries and also gave persia full and equal shipping right in the caspian sea stripped of all his remaining powers ahmad shah went into exile with his family in ahmad shah s apparent lack of interest in attending to the affairs of the state and poor health had prompted him to leave persia on this extended european tour he was formally deposed on october when reza khan was proclaimed shah by the founders assembly taking the title reza shah pahlavi and established the pahlavi dynasty exile the coup of rendered ahmad shah politically weaker and less relevant in ahmad shah left persia for europe for health reasons later the formal termination of the qajar dynasty by the majles turned ahmad shah s european tour into exile from exile ahmad shah issued the following declaration indicating his displeasure with the turn of events that had led to his overthrow shortly after the coup mustafa kemal ataturk who had just taken power in turkey as its first president offered to help restore ahmad shah to the throne to that end he summoned persian ambassador to turkey anoushirvan sepahbody to the presidential palace and instructed him to immediately intervene on his behalf with soltan ahmad shah in paris with the following offer of assistance ahmad shah politely declined this offer possibly either due to pride or lack of interest in continuing as king allegedly it was only after this rejection of ataturk s offer that the turkish government threw its full recognizing him as the new sovereign of persia prior to his death it is said that ahmad shah followed frequent crash diets which did not help his health for example he lost and gained kg within a two year span he died in at neuillysurseine outside paris france and was buried in his family crypt in kerbela iraq his brother former crown prince mohammad hassan mirza assured the physical continuation of the dynasty through his descendants offspring ahmad shah qajar married five times his first wife was lida jahanbani he did also have children from wives princess maryamdokht november daughter of delaram khanoum princess irandokht daughter of princess badrelmolouk vala princess homayoundokht daughter of princess

 birthplace erie pennsylvania deathplace los angeles california harry kellar july ampndash march was an american magician who presented large stage shows during the late th and early th centuries kellar was a predecessor of harry houdini and a successor of robert heller he was often referred to as the dean of american magicians and performed extensively on five continents one of his most memorable stage illusions was the levitation of a girl advertised as the levitation of princess karnack which was similar to an illusion invented by john nevil maskelyne from which kellar copied by bribing one of maskelyne s theater staff he was a longtime customer of the martinka magic company which built many of his illusions and sets including the blue room early life like most magicians there is little of kellar s early life that can be confirmed his real name was heinrich keller and he was born to german immigrants in erie pennsylvania he was sometimes as a child kellar loved to play dangerous games and was known to play chicken with passing trains kellar apprenticed under a druggist and frequently experimented with various chemical mixtures on one occasion kellar reportedly blew a hole in the floor of his employer s drugstore rather than confront the wrath of his parents kellar stowed away on a train and became a vagabond he was only ten years old at the time kellar was befriended by a britishborn minister of religion from upstate new york he offered to adopt kellar and pay for his education if he would study to also become a minister one evening kellar saw the performance of a traveling magician the fakir of ava the stage name of isiaiah harris hughes and after the show kellar immediately got the urge to go on the stage he later told houdini that i became very restless bought books on magic and finally left my friend and benefactor while working on a farm in buffalo new york kellar hughes who was looking for an assistant kellar was hired and at the age of sixteen gave his first solo performance in dunkirk michigan it was a disaster and kellar went back to work with hughes two years later keller tried again with better results but as he was in poor financial condition his early career often consisted of borrowing equipment for the show and avoiding creditors career in kellar began working with the davenport brothers and fay which was a group of stage spirtualists made up of ira erastus davenport william henry davenport and william fay kellar spent several years working with them until when he and fay parted ways with the davenports and embarked on a world tour through central and south america in mexico they were able to make in today s figures in the tour ended in rio de janeiro with an appearance before emperor dom pedro ii then on their way to were sailing on the boyne sank in the bay of biscay lost in the wreckage were keller s equipment and clothing along with the ship s cargo of gold silver and uncut diamonds after the shipwreck keller was left with only the clothes on his back and a diamond ring he was wearing afterwards his bankers in new york cabled him telling him that his bank had failed desperate for money kellar sold his ring and parted ways with fay who left to rejoin the davenports after visiting john nevil maskelyne s and george alfred cooke s theater called the egyptian hall keller was inspired and liked the idea of performing in one spot he loved the illusions maskelyne and cook performed but it was buatier de kolta then playing there who performed the vanishing birdcage a trick that kellar decided he must have and spent his remaining money to buy it from him kellar borrowed from junius spencer morgan father of jp to try to retrieve his funds from a bank transaction he had initiated when he was in brazil knowing that mail from brazil was slow he was able to recover all of the with the money kellar started a troupe based on masekylne s and cooke s in england even going so far as naming his theater the egyptian hall in kellar returned to england and invested into purchasing new equipment including a version maskelyne s whistplaying automaton psycho after a disappointing tour in south america kellar cancelled his remaining shows and returned to new york shortly before arriving kellar was told of the death of magician robert heller the new york sun accused kellar of pirating heller s name saying that heller is scarcely dead before we read of kellar the wizard the article goes on to say of course kellar aims to profit by the reputation that heller left by adopting a close imitation of heller s name this is his name had always been keller with an e and that he had actually changed it years previously to try to avoid being confused with heller he also pointed out that

on chestnut street on april kellar ended a successful seven month run at his second egyptian hall kellar then returned to the road during the periods kellar was abroad another magician alexander herrmann had become famous and kellar found himself with a rival on his return to the united states herrmann often criticized kellar s lack of sleight of hand and claimed he preferred to use mechanical tricks instead while he lacked sleight of hand kellar was so good in using misdirection that he said a brass band playing at full blast can march openly across the stage behind no one will realize that they went by herrmann died on december later life kellar retired in and allowed howard thurston to be his successor kellar had met thurston who was doing card tricks while on vacation in paris france kellar did his final show at ford s theatre in baltimore maryland kellar eventually moved to his house in los angeles california kellar s wife died two years later kellar was often

retirement until he died on march from a pulmonary hemorrhage brought on by influenza he was interred in angelusrosedale cemetery in los angeles notable illusions the levitation of princess karnac kellar supposedly developed this trick by abruptly walking onto the stage during a show by maskelyne seeing what he needed to know and leaving unable to duplicate it kellar hired another magician to help build another but eventually designed a new trick with the help of the otis elevator company another version built by kellar was purchased by harry blackstone sr who used the trick for many years the buffalo writer john northern hilliard wrote that the levitation was a marvel of the twentieth century and career the nested boxes kellar borrows six finger rings from members of audience he loads them into the barrel of a pistol aims and fires the pistol at a chest that is hanging on the side of the stage the chest is opened and inside is another smaller chest inside that are six boxes nested in each other as each is opened they are stacked on top of each other and inside the smallest one are the five rings each tied with ribbon to flowers the five rings are returned to their owners the owner of the sixth ring wonders what happened to hers with kellar pretending not to notice he continues with his next trick which a variation of roberthoudin s inexhaustible bottle audience members call out different beverages like wine whiskey lemonade or just water each one is poured from the same bottle and the audience acknowledges that they are indeed receiving their requested drinks once bottle is empty kellar takes it and breaks it open its neck which has the sixth ring attached to it the ring is eventually handed back to its owner a variation of the trick was performed in front of united states president theodore roosevelt and his children ethel archie quentin and kermit ethel was the owner of the sixth ring and after kellar had returned her ring he asked if she would also like to have the guinea pig as a pet then kellar wrapped the guinea pig in paper and handed it back to ethel when it was opened inside was a bouquet of pink roses the vanishing lamp a lamp is seen set on top of a glass table still lit kellar covers the lamp with a thin cloth kellar told the audience that each evening the lamp would be returned to its purported original owner in india at a specific time as a bell sounded out the current time of day kellar loaded a pistol and aimed it towards the lamp at the last chime kellar with the cloth falling to the stage kellar was known to have a short temper and once after an incident in which the vanishing lamp failed to vanish he took an axe to the defective prop later kellar built another one that would continue to work reliably long after his

 height zvezda meaning star dos also known as the zvezda service module is a component of the international space station iss it was the third module launched to the station and provides all of the station s life support systems some of which are supplemented in the usos as well as living quarters for two crew members it is the structural and functional center of the russian portion of the station the russian orbital segment the module was manufactured by rkk energia with major subcontracting work by gknpts khrunichev zvezda was launched on a proton rocket on july and docked with the zarya module on july the rocket used for the launch was one of the first to carry advertising it was emblazoned with the logo of pizza hut restaurants for which they are reported to have paid more than us million the money helped support advertising agencies that orchestrated the event origins the basic structural frame of zvezda known as dos was initially built in the mids to be the core of the mir space station this means that zvezda is similar in layout to the core module dos of the mir space station it was in fact labeled as mir for quite some time in the factory its design lineage thus extends back to the original salyut stations the space frame was completed in february and major internal equipment was installed by october the mir space station was redesigned after the failure of the polyus orbital weapons platform core module to reach orbit zvezda is around the size of polyus and has no armaments design zvezda consists of a cylindrical work compartment where the crews work and live a cylindrical transfer chamber which has one docking port an unpressurized assembly compartment surrounding three docking ports four docking ports total the component weighs about kg lb and had a length of m the solar panels extend m the transfer compartment attaches to the zarya module and has docking ports intended for the science power platform and the universal docking module as in the early days of mir the transfer compartment provides a suitable eva airlock where spacewalkers in orlan suits removed a hatch after closing a few that connected the compartment to the rest of the station it was used only during expedition where two men put a docking cone on the nadir port the lower port connects to pirs and the top port connects to poisk eventually the plan for pirs is for it to be deorbited and replaced by the multipurpose laboratory module the assembly compartment holds external equipment such as thrusters thermometers antennas and propellant tanks the transfer chamber is equipped with automatic docking zvezda can support up to six crew including separate sleeping quarters for two cosmonauts at a time it also has a nasaprovided treadmill with vibration isolation system and a bicycle for exercise a toilet and other hygiene facilities and a galley with a refrigerator and freezer the module contains the primary russian computers for guidance and navigation zvezda has windows there are two inmm adjmid windows one in each of the two crew sleep compartments windows no and six inmm adjmid windows no and on the forward transfer compartment earth facing floor as well a inmm adjmid window in the main working compartment no and one inmm adjmid window in the aft transfer compartment no there are a further three inmm adjmid windows in the forward end of the forward transfer compartment no and for observing approaching craft note window no zvezda also contains the elektron system that electrolyzes condensed humidity and waste water to provide hydrogen and oxygen the hydrogen is expelled into space and the oxygen is used for breathing air the condensed water and the waste water can be used for drinking in an emergency but ordinarily fresh water from earth is used there are small thrusters and two large thrusters for propulsion and eight batteries for storing power the elektron system has required significant maintenance work having failed several times and requiring the crew to use the solid fuel oxygen generator canisters also called oxygen candles which were the cause of a fire on mir when it has been broken for extended amounts of time it also contains the vozdukh a system which removes carbon dioxide from the air based on the use of regenerable absorbers of carbon dioxide gas zvezda has been criticized for being excessively noisy and the crew has been observed wearing earplugs inside it zvezda contains the esa s connection to the iss on july zvezda became the third component of the iss when it docked at the aft port of zarya zarya had already been attached to the us unity module later in july the computers aboard zarya handed over iss commanding functions to computers on zvezda on september two members of the sts space shuttle crew completed final connections between zvezda and zarya during a hour minute eva astronaut ed lu and cosmonaut yuri malenchenko connected nine cables between zvezda and zarya including four power cables four video and data cables and a fiberoptic telemetry cable the next day sts crew members floated into zvezda for the first time at utc on september life support system a communication system zvezda introduced a mbits ethernet network to the iss electrical power distribution a data processing system a flight control system and a propulsion system these quarters and some but not all systems have since been supplemented by additional iss components the two main engines on zvezda can be used to raise the station s altitude this was done on april this was the first time the engines had been fired since zvezda arrived in launch risks due to russian financial problems zvezda was launched with no backup and no insurance due to this risk nasa had constructed an interim control module in case

 the judicature acts are a series of acts of parliament beginning in the s which aimed to fuse the hitherto split system of courts in england and wales the first two acts were the supreme court of judicature act amp vict c and the supreme court of judicature act amp vict c with a further series of amending acts in all by by the act of ss the court of chancery the court of queen s bench known as the king s bench when there is a male sovereign the court of common pleas the court of exchequer the high court of admiralty the court of probate and the court of divorce and matrimonial causes were consolidated into the supreme court of judicature subdivided into two courts the high court of justice high court with broadly speaking original jurisdiction and the court of appeal threefold to combine the historically separate courts of common law and equity to establish for all divisions of the new supreme court a uniform system of pleading and procedure and to provide for the enforcement of the same rule of law in those cases where equity and common law recognised different rules the enactment was bold and revolutionary by one section the queen s bench the common pleas in which only serjeants formerly had the right of audience and the exchequer and all their jurisdiction whether criminal legal or equitable were vested in the new court the fusion of the systems of law and equity was not complete however as the chancery equity division retained a distinct existence within the new court from the queen s bench common law division having a certain range of legal questions under its exclusive control and possessing to a certain extent a peculiar machinery of its own for carrying its decrees into execution nevertheless all actions could now for the and subject to such special assignments of business as mentioned could be tried in any of its divisions common law and equity the procedure of the common law courts had developed along highly technical and stylised lines for example to bring an action in the common law courts a litigant had to file a writ chosen from a set of standard forms the court would only recognise certain forms of action and this led to the widespread use of legal fictions with litigants disguising their claims when they did not fit into a standard recognised form the emphasis on rigid adherence to established forms led to substantial injustice on the other hand the court of chancery a court of equity ran separately and parallel to the common law courts and emphasised the need to do justice on the basis of the lord chancellor s conscience softening the blunt instrument of the common law however by the nineteenth century proceedings before the court of chancery often dragged on and on with cases problem that was parodied by charles dickens in the fictional case of jarndyce and jarndyce in bleak house also the practice of the court departed from the original principle of the lord chancellor s conscience with rules of equity restricting the manner in which the courts of equity would intervene the existence of these two separate systems led to each party forum shopping selecting whichever of the two systems would most likely give judgment in his or her favour and resulting in litigation being tried across both the solution adopted by the judicature acts of and was to fuse the administration of the two pleadings became more relaxed with the emphasis shifting from the form of action to the cause or a set of causes of action writs for action were filled out for a litigant stating facts without any necessity of pigeonholing them into specific forms the same court was now able to apply rules of the common law and the of a case required and depending on what specific area of law the pleadings involved the result was that when the issues arising from the causes of action were decided in favour of one party that party got relief overview there were originally three common law divisions of the high court corresponding with the three former courts of common law however after the deaths of lord chief baron kelly on september and lord chief justice cockburn on november the common pleas and exchequer divisions were consolidated by an order in council of december with the king s bench division into a single division under the presidency of the lord chief justice of england to whom by the judicature act s all the statutory jurisdiction of the chief baron and the chief justice of the common pleas was transferred the high court therefore came to consist of the chancery division the common law division known as the king and admiralty division to the king s bench division was also attached by an order of the lord chancellor dated january the business of the london court of bankruptcy the keystone of the structure created by the judicature acts was a strong court of appeal the house of lords remained the last court of appeal as before the acts but its judicial functions were transferred in practice to an appellate committee consisting of the lord chancellor and other peers who have held high judicial office and certain lords of appeal in ordinary created by the appellate jurisdiction act the high court and court of appeal were formerly referred to as comprising the supreme court of judicature a concept wholly distinct from the current supreme court of the united kingdom pleading the most important matter dealt with by the rules is the mode of pleading the authors of the judicature act had before them two systems of pleading both of which were open to criticism the common law pleadings it was said relied but only the legal aspect of the facts or the inferences from them while the chancery pleadings were lengthy tedious and to a large extent irrelevant and useless there was some exaggeration in both statements in pursuing the fusion of law and equity which was the dominant legal idea of law reformers of that period the framers of the first set of rules devised a system which they thought would meet the defects of both systems and be appropriate for both the commonlaw and the chancery divisions in a normal case the plaintiff delivered his statement of claim in which he was to set forth concisely the facts on which he relied and the relief which he asked the defendant then delivered his statement of defence in which he was to say whether he admitted or denied the plaintiff s facts every averment not traversed being taken to be admitted and any additional facts and legal defences on which he relied the plaintiff might then reply and the defendant rejoin and system of pleading was not a bad one if accompanied by the right of either party to demur to his opponent s pleading ie to say admitting all your averments of fact to be true you still have no cause of action or defence as the case may be it may be however that the authors of the new system were too intent on uniformity when they abolished the commonlaw pleading which shorn of its abuses as it had been by the common law procedure acts was an admirable instrument for defining the issue between the parties though unsuited for the more complicated cases which are tried in chancery and it might possibly have been better to try the new system in the first instance in the chancery division only it should be added that the rules contain provisions for actions being tried without pleadings if the defendant does not require a statement of claim and for the plaintiff in an action of debt obtaining immediate judgment unless the defendant are of course no pleadings in those matters which by the rules can be disposed of by summons in chambers instead of by ordinary suit as formerly the judges seem to have been dissatisfied with the effect of their former rules for in they issued a fresh set of consolidated rules which with subsequent amendments are those now in force by these rules a further attempt was made to prune the exuberance of pleading concise forms of statement of claim and defence were given in the appendix for adoption by the pleader it is true that these forms do not display a high standard of excellence in draftsmanship and it was said that many of them were undoubtedly demurrable but that was not of much importance demurrers were abolished and instead thereof it was provided that any point of law raised by the pleadings should be disposed of at or after the trial provided that by consent or order of the court the same might be set down and disposed of before the trial order xxv opinion of lord davey in was a disastrous change the right of either party to challenge his opponent in limine either where the question between them was purely one of law or where even the view of the facts taken and alleged by his opponent did not constitute a cause of action or defence was a most valuable one and tended to the curtailment of both the delay and the expense of litigation any possibility of abuse by frivolous or technical demurrers as undoubtedly was formerly the case had been met by powers of amendment and the infliction of costs many of the most important questions of law had been decided on demurrer both in common law and chancery lord davey considered that demurrer was a useful and satisfactory mode of trying questions in chancery on bill and demurrer and it was frequently adopted in preference to a special case which requires the statement of facts to be agreed to by both parties and was consequently more difficult and expensive time for decision of questions at law the trial or subsequently and a preliminary decision the exception and such exception dependent on the consent of both parties or an order of the court is a poor substitute for a demurrer as of right and it has proved so in practice the editors of the yearly practice for muir mackenzie lushington and fox said p points of law raised by the pleadings are usually disposed of at the trial or on further considerationafterthe trial of the issues of fact that is to say after the delay worry and expense of a trial of disputed questions of fact which after all may turn out to be unnecessary the abolition of demurrers has also it is believed had a prejudicial effect on the standard of legal accuracy and knowledge required in practitioners formerly the pleader had the fear of a demurrer before him nowadays he need not stop to think whether his cause of action or defence will obviously frivolous or vexatious will do by way of pleading for the purpose of the trial and for getting the opposite party into the box juries another change was made by the rules of which was regarded by some common law lawyers as revolutionary formerly every issue of fact in a common law action including the amount of damage had to be decided by the verdict of a jury the effect of the rules of said lord lindley who was a member of the rule committee was to make trial without a jury the normal mode of trial except where trial with a jury is ordered under rules or a or may be had without an order under rule the effect of the rules may be thus summarised in the chancery division no trial by jury unless ordered by the judge generally the judge may order trial without a jury of any cause or issue which before the judicature act might have been so tried without consent of parties or scientific or local investigation either party has a right to a jury in actions of slander libel false imprisonment malicious prosecution seduction or breach of promise of marriage upon notice without order or in any other action by order subject as above actions are to be tried without a jury unless the judge of his own motion otherwise orders abandonment among the specific changes to procedure that occurred as a result of enactment of the judicature acts was one impacting on the matter of abandonment of an action such an abandonment involves the discontinuance of proceedings commenced in the high court typically emerging because a plaintiff is convinced that he will not succeed in a civil action prior to the act considerable latitude was allowed as to the time when a suitor might abandon his action and yet preserve his right to bring another action on the same suit see nonsuit but since this right has been considerably curtailed and a plaintiff who has wishes to abandon his action can generally obtain leave so to do only on condition of bringing no further proceedings in the matter other changes further steps have been taken with a view to simplification of procedure by order xxx rule i as amended in a summons called a summons for directions has to be taken out by a plaintiff immediately after the appearance of the defendant and upon such summons an order is to be made respecting pleadings and a number of interlocutory proceedings to make such an order at that early stage would seem to demand a prescience and intelligent anticipation of future events which can hardly be expected of a master or even a judge in chambers except in simple cases involving a single issue of law or fact which the parties are agreed in presenting to the court the effect of the rule is that the plaintiff can not deliver his statement of claim or take any step in the action without the leave of the judge the plaintiff deliver his statement of claim and the rest of the summons stand over and the practical effect is merely to add a few pounds to the costs it may be doubted whether as applied to the majority of actions the rule does not proceed on wrong lines and whether it would not be better to leave the parties who know the exigencies of their case better even than a judge in chambers to proceed in their own way subject to stringent provisions for immediate payment of the costs occasioned by unnecessary vexatious or dilatory proceedings the order does not apply to admiralty cases or to proceedings under the order next mentioned the supreme court of judicature act ireland followed the same lines as the english acts the preexisting courts were consolidated into a supreme court of judicature consisting of a high court of justice and a court of appeal the judicature acts did not affect the scottish judicial system but the appellate jurisdiction act included the court of to the house of lords

 the loop electrosurgical excision procedure leep is one of the most commonly used approaches to treat high grade cervical dysplasia cin iiiii hgsil discovered on colposcopic examination in uk it is known as large loop excision of the transformation zone lletz the procedure has many advantages including low cost high success rate and ease of use the procedure can be done in an office setting and usually only requires a local anesthetic though sometimes iv sedation or a general anesthetic is used process when performing a leep the physician uses a wire loop through which an electric current is passed at variable power settings various shapes and sizes of loop can be used depending on the size and orientation of the lesion the cervical transformation zone and lesion are excised to an adequate depth which in most cases is at least mm and extending to mm beyond the lesion a second pass with a more narrow loop can also be done to obtain technique results in some thermal artifact in all specimens obtained due to the use of electricity which simultaneously cuts and cauterizes the lesion but this does not generally interfere with pathological interpretation complications complications are less frequent in comparison to a cold knife conization but can include infection and hemorrhage a study with surveys to women has indicated that the leep does not appear to affect fertility on the other hand a casecontrol study has found an association between surgical treatment of cin lesions and risk of infertility or subfertility with an odds ratio of approximately scarring of the cervix is a theoretical mechanism of causing trouble conceiving this scar tissue can be massaged or broken up in a number of ways thus allowing the cervical opening to dilate back to normal size a cohort study came to the result that women with a time interval from leep to pregnancy of less than months compared with months or more were at significantly increased risk for spontaneous abortion with risk of spontaneous abortion of no increased risk was identified for preterm birth after leep

 the armistice between the allies and germany known as the armistice of compigne after the location it was signed was the agreement that ended the fighting in western europe that comprised the first world war it went into effect at am paris time on november and marked a victory for the allies and a complete defeat for germany although not technically a surrender the germans were responding to the policies proposed by american president woodrow wilson in his fourteen points of january the actual terms largely written by french marshal ferdinand foch included the cessation of hostilities the withdrawal of german troops to behind their own borders the preservation of infrastructure the exchange of prisoners a promise of reparations the disposition of german warships and submarines and conditions for prolonging or terminating the armistice although the armistice ended the actual fighting it took six months of negotiations at the paris peace conference to conclude the peace treaty the treaty of versailles october telegrams the liberal prince maximilian of baden was appointed chancellor of germany german reich in late october ludendorff in a sudden change of mind declared the conditions of the allies unacceptable he now demanded to resume the war which he himself had declared lost only one month earlier however the german soldiers were pressing to get home it was scarcely possible to arouse their readiness for battle anew and desertions were on the increase the imperial government stayed on course and ludendorff was replaced by wilhelm groener on november the allies agreed to take up negotiations for a truce now also demanding reparation payments the latest note from wilson was received in berlin on november that same day the delegation led by matthias erzberger departed for france also on november max von baden handed over the office of chancellor to friedrich ebert a social democrat ebert s spd and erzberger s catholic centre party had enjoyed an uneasy relationship with the imperial government since bismarck s era in the imperial reichstag which had little power over the government and had been calling for a negotiated peace since their prominence in the peace negotiations would cause the new weimar republic to lack legitimacy in rightwing and militarist eyes negotiation process the armistice was the result of a hurried and desperate process the german delegation headed by matthias erzberger crossed the front line in five cars and was escorted for ten hours across the devastated war zone of northern france arriving on the morning of november they were then entrained and taken to the secret destination aboard ferdinand foch s private train parked in a railway siding in the forest of compigne foch appeared only twice in the three days of negotiations on the first day to ask the german delegation what they wanted and on the last day to see to the signatures the germans were handed the list of allied demands and given hours to agree the german delegation discussed the allied terms not with foch but with complete german demilitarization see list below with few promises made by the allies in return the naval blockade of germany was not completely lifted until complete peace terms could be agreed upon there was no question of negotiation the germans were able to correct a few impossible demands for example the decommissioning of more submarines than their fleet possessed extended the schedule for the withdrawal and registered their formal protest at the harshness of allied terms but they were in no position to refuse to sign on sunday november they were shown newspapers from paris to inform them that the kaiser had abdicated that same day erzberger was instructed to sign by ebert the cabinet had earlier received a message from hindenburg requesting that the armistice be signed even if the allied conditions could not be improved on the armistice was agreed at am on november to come into effect at am

him at am the first peacegunshot was fired from fort montvalrien which told the population of paris that the armistice was concluded but the population were already aware of it from official circles and newspapers although the information about the imminent ceasefire had spread among the forces at the front in the hours before fighting in many sections of the front continued right until the appointed hour at am there was some spontaneous fraternization between the two sides but in general reactions were muted a british corporal reported the germans came from their trenches bowed to us and then went away that celebrate except cookies the peace between the allies and germany was subsequently settled in by the paris peace conference and the treaty of versailles that same year last casualties many artillery units continued to fire on german targets to avoid having to haul away their spare ammunition the allies also wished to ensure that should fighting restart they would be in the most favourable position consequently there were casualties of which men died on the last day of the war an example of the determination of the allies to maintain pressure until the last minute but also to adhere strictly to the armistice terms was battery of the us navy s longrange inch railway guns firing its last shot at am from the verdun area timed to land far behind the german front

built monuments to the dead and the heroic soldiers but seldom to the generals and admirals november is commemorated annually in many countries under various names such as armistice day the myth that the german army was stabbed in the back by the social democratic government that was formed in november was created by reviews in the german press that grossly misrepresented general frederick barton maurice s book the last four months ludendorff made use of the reviews to convince hindenburg

 spanish grammar is the grammar of the spanish language espaol castellano which is a romance language that originated in north central spain and is spoken today throughout spain some twenty countries in the americas and equatorial guinea spanish is an inflected language the verbs are potentially marked for tense aspect mood person and number resulting in some fifty conjugated forms per verb the nouns form a twogender system and are marked for number pronouns can be inflected for person number gender including a residual neuter and case although the spanish pronominal system represents a simplification of the ancestral latin system spanish was the first of the european vernaculars to have a grammar treatise gramtica de la lengua castellana written in by the andalusian linguist antonio de nebrija and presented to isabella of castile at salamanca the real academia espaola rae traditionally dictates the normative rules of the spanish language as american spanish are remarkably few and someone who has learned the dialect of one area will have no difficulties using reasonably formal speech in the other however pronunciation does vary as well as grammar and vocabulary recently published comprehensive spanish reference grammars in english include and verbs every spanish verb belongs to one of three form classes characterized by the infinitive ending ar er or ir sometimes called the first second and third conjugations respectively a spanish verb has nine indicative tenses with moreorless direct english equivalents the present tense i walk the preterite i walked the imperfect i was walking or i used to walk the present perfect i have walked the past perfect also called the pluperfect i had walked the future i will walk the the conditional simple i would walk and the conditional perfect i would have walked in most dialects each verb tense has potentially six forms varying for first second or third person and for singular or plural number in the second person spanish maintains the socalled tv distinction between familiar and formal modes of address the formal secondperson pronouns usted ustedes take thirdperson verb forms the secondperson familiar plural is expressed in most of spain with the pronoun vosotros and its characteristic verb forms eg comis you plural eat while in latin american spanish that part of the paradigm is merged with the formal secondperson plural eg ustedes comen in other words in latin america the familiarformal distinction in the second person is not maintained in the plural in many areas of latin america the secondperson familiar singular pronoun t is replaced by vos which frequently requires its own characteristic verb forms especially in the present indicative where the endings are s s and s for ar er ir verbs respectively see voseo in the tables of paradigms below the optional subject pronouns appear in parentheses present indicative the present indicative is used to express actions or states of being in a

to express actions or states of being in a past time frame the two that are simple in form formed with a single word rather than being compound verbs are the preterite and the imperfect preterite the preterite is used to express actions or events that took place in the past and which were instantaneous or are viewed as completed for example ella se muri ayer she died yesterday pablo apag las luces

comical in the past usted coma sentence is saying you used to eat a lot saying that in the past the person being referred had a characteristic of eating a lot ellos escuchaban la radio they were listening to the radio all three of the sentences above describe noninstantaneous actions that are viewed as continuing in the past the characteristic in the first sentence and the action in the

imperfect the first and thirdperson singular share the same form and verbs share the same set of endings using preterite and imperfect together the preterite and the imperfect can be combined in the same sentence to express the occurrence of an event in one clause during an action or state expressed in another clause for example ellos escuchaban la radio cuando oyeron un ruido afuera they were listening to the radio when they heard a noise outside yo estaba en mi cuarto cuando usted entr i was in my room when you came in era un da muy tranquilo cuando eso pas it was a very peaceful day when that happened in all three cases an event or completed action interrupts an ongoing state or action for example in the second sentence the speaker states that he was in his room expressed through the imperfect to reflect the ongoing or unfinished state of being there when the other person interrupted that state by entering expressed through the preterite to suggest a completed action progressive both are used to express ongoing progressive action in the present and past respectively for example estoy haciendo mi tarea i am doing my homework estamos estudiando we are studying estaba escuchando la radio i was listening to the radio l estaba limpiando su cuarto he was cleaning his room the present progressive is formed by first conjugating the verb estar or seguir depending on context to the subject and then attaching a gerund of the verb that follows the past imperfect progressive simply requires the estar or seguir to be conjugated depending on context in imperfect with respect to the subject forming gerunds to form gerunds in an ar verb replace the ar in the infinitive with ando ie jugar hablar caminar jugando hablando caminando for er or ir verbs replace the er or ir ending with iendo ie comer escribir dormir comiendo stem change since it is an irregular verb verbs that end with two vowels and a consonant such as leer traer creer have a special exception ie leer traer creer leyendo trayendo creyendo verbs that end with eir such as rer and sonrer have yet another exception ie rer frer riendo friendo subjunctive the subjunctive of a verb is used to express certain connotations in sentences such as a wish or desire a demand an emotion uncertainty or doubt present subjunctive normally a verb would be conjugated in the present indicative to indicate an event in the present frame of time yo soy muy ambicioso i am very ambitious marta trae la comida marta brings the food if the sentence is trying to express a desire demand or emotion or something similar in the present tense the subjunctive is used quiero que seas muy ambicioso i want you to be i want that you be very ambitious me alegro de que marta traiga la comida i am happy that marta brings the food es una lstima que llegues tarde it is a shame that you arrive late the subjunctive is also used to convey doubt denial or uncertainty busco un amigo que sea simptico i search for a friend who will be likable or i search for a likable friend no hay ningn autor que lo escriba there are no authors who write that es posible que ella sepa mucho it is possible that she knows a lot no parece que tengan mucho dinero it does not seem that they have much money in the first two examples the ideally likable friend has not yet been found and remains an uncertainty exist in the third possibility is not certainty but rather a conjecture and the last expresses clear doubt thus subjunctive is used some of the phrases and verbs that require sentences to have subjunctive formation include dudar negar esperar alegrarse de temer sentir pedir aconsejar exigir desear querer mandar es necesario que conviene que no parece que es dudoso que es probable que no creo que importa que parece mentira que some phrases that require the indicative instead because they express certainty include es verdad que es obvio que es seguro que parece que es evidente que creo que to form the subjunctive first take the present indicative firstperson yo form of a verb for example the verbs hablar comer and escribir to talk to eat to write yo hablo yo como yo escribo then replace the ending o is in the following if the verb is an er or ir verb such as comer poder escribir or compartir replace the ending o with an a ie yo como yo puedo yo escribo yo coma yo pueda yo escriba if the verb is an ar verb such as caminar or hablar replace the ending o with an e ie yo hablo yo camino yo hable yo camine this forms the firstperson conjugation the others are as follows yo yo hable yo coma yo escriba t t hables t comas t escribas lellausted l hable l coma l escriba nosotros nosotros hablemos nosotros comamos nosotros escribamos vosotros vosotros hablis vosotros comis vosotros escribis ellosellasustedes ellos hablen ellos coman ellos escriban since the vos forms are derived from vosotros the following would be expected and used vos coms vos escribs however the spanish royal academy based in argentinian usage recommends to use the same forms used for t vos vos hables vos comas vos escribas imperfect subjunctive today the two forms of the imperfect subjunctive are largely interchangeable the se form derives as in most romance languages from the latin pluperfect subjunctive while the ra form derives from the latin pluperfect indicative the use of one or the other is largely a matter of personal taste and dialect many only use the ra forms in speech but vary between the two in writing many may spontaneously use either or even prefer the rarer se forms the imperfect subjunctive is formed for basically the same reasons as the present subjunctive but is used for other tenses and time frames nouns spanish has nouns of two genders masculine and feminine adjectives spanish generally uses adjectives in a similar there are three key differences between english and spanish adjectives in spanish adjectives usually go after the noun they modify the exception is when the writerspeaker is being slightly emphatic or even poetic about a particular quality of an object rather than the mundane use of using the quality to specify which particular object they are referring to mi casa roja could either mean that there are many red houses in the world but i wish to talk about the one that i happen to own or that i have many houses but am referring to the red one mi casa roja my house the red one mi roja casa means that i am stressing how red my particular house is probably the only house i have mi roja casa my house which is obviously red in spanish adjectives agree with what they refer to in terms for example taza cup is feminine so the red cup is la taza roj u a u but vaso glass is masculine so the red glass is el vaso roj u o u in spanish it is perfectly normal to let an adjective stand in for a noun or pronounwith where people are involved no implication of condescension or rudeness for example los altos means the tall ones or the tall men el grande means the big one or the big man determiners spanish uses determiners in a similar way to english the main difference is that they agree with what they refer to in terms of both number singularplural and gender

pluralbgcolor dbdbdb singularbgcolor dbdbdb plural bgcolor dbdbdb masculineellosununos bgcolor dbdbdb femininelalasunaunas bgcolor dbdbdb neuterlo the neuter article lo is used before a masculine singular adjective to form an expression equivalent to an abstract noun eg lo interesante the interesting thing the interesting part lo may also be used adverbially before an adjective that shows agreement with a noun being equivalent to the relative adverb how as in lo buenas que son how good they fpl are when the article el follows either of the prepositions a or de the sequence of two words forms a contraction al to the or del of the from the respectively examples to the park l regresa del cine he returns from the movie theater one never says a el or de el in spanish the feminine singular definite article la is replaced by el when directly before a noun that begins with a stressed a sound with or without silent h thus el agua el hambre the noun remains feminine as shown by el agua fra likewise the feminine indefinite article una is usually replaced by un in the same circumstances thus un guila mexicana when these words are in plural the feminine articles are used example el agua las aguas demonstratives spanish has three kinds of demonstrative whose use depends on the distance equates to the english terms this and that although in spanish the word used must agree for

before the noun they qualify ie when used as adjectives demonstratives never take an accent esta casa this house esos das those days but demonstratives may also stand on their own instead of the noun they refer to ie as demonstrative pronouns in that case they usually carry a written accent quiero ste i want this one neuter demonstratives have the meaning of this or that thing concept or idea eso est bien that is okay in certain cases neuter demonstratives can take that out of there neuter demonstratives because of their use are never used as adjectives which makes it unnecessary for them ever to take an accent moreover for their indefinite meaning they do not have plural forms possessive the possessive words agree in gender and number with the thing possessed the possessive pronoun is formed by putting the agreeing definite article before the long form of the possessive adjective each cell in the table below shows the indicated adjective followed by the corresponding pronoun when

particularly that the gender here refers to that of the thing possessed rather than to the possessor therefore if a man has a house spanish casa which is a feminine noun we can say that la casa es suya the house is his with a feminine possessive according to the gender of the object this man possesses spanish perro a masculine noun then we can say that el perro es suyo the dog is hers with a masculine possessive to agree with the noun perro other determiners indefinite quantity poco little mucho a lot bastante enough cardinals un una one dos two tres three ordinals primero first segundo second tercero third cardinal and ordinal numbers are adjectives of amount like mucho and poco and precede nouns dos animales two first person primero and tercero drop their final o before a masculine singular noun thus el primer libro the first book el tercer ao the third year interrogative qu what cul which the cardinal numbers greater than un una and the interrogative qu are indeclinable the indefinite quantifiers ordinals un and cul are declined as adjectives pronouns spanish has a range of pronouns that in some ways work quite differently from english ones they include yo t vos usted l ella ello nosotros vosotros ustedes ellos ellas esto eso aquello context but it is not rare to see one in written text or in the spoken language whether it be for emphasis or in cases where there may be some confusion between conjugations prepositions spanish has a relatively large number of prepositions and does not use postpositions the following list is traditionally recited a ante bajo cabe con contra de desde en entre hacia hasta para por segn sin so sobre tras lately two new prepositions have been added durante and mediante usually placed at the end to preserve the list which is usually learnt by heart by spanish students this list includes two archaic prepositions so and cabe but leaves out two new latinisms va and pro as well as a large number of very important compound prepositions prepositions in spanish do english for example to translate run out of water run up a bill run down a pedestrian run in a thief into spanish requires completely different verbs and not simply the use of correr run plus the corresponding spanish prepositions this is more due to the nature of english phrasal verbs rather than an inherent function of spanish verbs or prepositions conjunctions the spanish conjunctions y and and o or alter their form in both spoken and written language to e and u respectively when followed by an identical vowel sound thus padre e hijo father and son fernando e isabel ferdinand and isabella sujeto u objeto subject or object vertical u horizontal vertical or horizontal the change does not of a diphthong as in acero y hierro steel and iron nor does the conjunction y change when initial in a question where it serves to introduce or reintroduce a name as a topic rather than to link one element with another as in y ins what about ins when the conjunction o appears between numerals it is usually spelled with an accent mark in order to distinguish it from zero thus or in contrast to twohundred three syntactic variation cleft sentences a cleft sentence is one formed with the copular verb generally with a dummy pronoun like it as its subject plus a word that cleaves the sentence put emphasis on a part of the sentence here are some examples of english sentences and their cleft versions i did it it was i who did it or colloquially it was me that did it you will stop smoking through willpower it is through willpower that you will stop smoking spanish does not usually employ such a structure in simple sentences the translations of sentences like these can be readily analyzed as being normal sentences containing relative pronouns spanish is capable of expressing such concepts without a special cleft structure thanks to its flexible word order for example if we translate a cleft sentence such as it was juan who lost the keys we get fue juan el que perdi las llaves whereas the english sentence uses a special structure the spanish one does not the verb fue has no dummy subject and the pronoun el que is not a cleaver but a nominalising relative pronoun meaning the male one and las llaves we can play with the word order of the spanish sentence without affecting its structure although each permutation would to a native speaker give a subtly different shading of emphasis for example we can say juan fue el que perdi las llaves juan was the one who lost the keys or el que perdi las llaves fue juan the one who lost the keys was juan as can be seen from the translations if this word order is chosen english stops using the cleft structure there is no more dummy it and a nominalising relative is used instead of the cleaving word whilst in spanish no words have changed here are some examples of such sentences fue juan u el que u perdi las llaves it was john who lost the keys son slo tres das u los que u te quedan it is only three days that you have left lo diga it will be i who tells him son pocos u los que u vienen y se quedan lit it is not many who come and stay note that it is ungrammatical to try to use just que to cleave such sentences as in english but using quien in singular or quienes in plural is grammatical fue juan u que u perdi las llaves incorrect fue juan u quien u perdi las llaves correct when prepositions come into play things become complicated structures unambiguously identifiable as cleft sentences are used the verb ser introduces the stressed element and then there is a nominaliser both of these are preceded by the relevant preposition for example fue u a m a quien u le dio permiso it was me to whom he gave permission lit es u para nosotros para quienes u se hizo esto it is us for whom this was made lit it is for us for whom this was made es u por eso por lo que u lo hice that is why i did it more literally it is because of that that i did it or completely literally it is because of that because of which i did it es as u como u se debe hacer it is this way that it must be done lit it is this way how it must be done como replaces longer expressions such as la forma en que this structure is quite wordy and is therefore often avoided by not using a cleft sentence at all emphasis is conveyed just by word order and stressing with the voice indicated here within bolding me dio permiso u to me se hizo esto u para nosotros u this was done for us u por eso u lo hice i did it because of that se debe hacer u as u it must be done this way in casual speech the complex cleaving pronoun is often reduced to que just as it is reduced to that in english foreign learners are advised to avoid this es para nosotros u que u se hizo esto es por eso u que u lo hice fue a m u que u le dio permiso preferred a quien es as u que u se debe hacer preferred como in the singular the subordinate clause can agree either with the relative pronoun or with the subject of the main sentence though plural only agreement with the subject of the main sentence is acceptable therefore singular yo fui el que u me lo beb u i was the one who drank it agreement with subject of main sentence yo fui el que u se lo bebi u preferred form with same meaning agreement with el que la que lo u s u soy yo i am the one who knows agreement with subject of main sentence la que lo u sabe u soy yo preferred form with same meaning agreement with la que plural somos los nicos que no u tenemos u ni un centavo para apostar we are the only ones who do not have even a cent to bet agreement with subject of main sentence from dialogue of the gabriel garca mrquez novel el vosotras sois las que lo u sabis u you girls are the ones who know agreement with subject of main sentence dialectal variations forms of address the use of usted and ustedes as a polite form of address is universal however there are variations in informal address ustedes replaces vosotros in much of andalusia the canary islands and latin america except in the liturgical or poetic of styles in some parts of andalusia the pronoun ustedes is used with the standard vosotros endings depending on the region latin americans may also replace the singular t with usted or vos the choice of pronoun is a tricky issue and can even vary from village to village travellers are often advised to play it safe and call everyone usted other areas where syllablefinal s is completely silent is that there is no audible difference between the second and third person singular form of the verb this leads to redundant pronoun use for example the tagging on of t ves pronounced tuv to the ends of sentences where other speakers would say ves voseo vos was used in medieval castilian as a polite form like the french vous and the italian voi and it used the same forms as vosotros this gave three levels of formality t quieres vos queris originally queredes vuestra merced quiere today usted whereas vos was lost in standard spanish some dialects lost t as the informal pronoun the exact connotations of this practice called voseo depend on the dialect in certain countries there may be socioeconomic implications el voseo uses the pronoun vos for t but maintains te as an object pronoun and tu and tuyo as possessives in voseo verbs corresponding to vos in the present indicative roughly equivalent to the english simple present are formed from the second person plural the form for vosotros if the second person plural ends in is or is the form for vos drops the i vosotros hablis vos habls vosotros tenis vos tens similarly the verb ser to be has vosotros sois vos sos if the second person plural ends in s with vos is identical vosotros vivs vos vivs vosotros os vos os vosotros hus vos hus in the imperative the form for vos is also derived from the second person plural the latter ends always in d so for the form for vos this d is removed and if the verb has more than one syllable an accent is added to the last vowel tened vosotros ten vos dad vosotros da vos the only exception to these rules is in the verb ir to go which does not have an imperative form for vos and uses the analogous form of the verb andar which has a similar meaning and is regular andad and in the present subjunctive the same rules as for the present indicative apply though these forms coexist in argentina with those for the pronoun t que vosotros digas que vos digas other tenses always have the same form for vos as for t outside argentina other combinations are possible for instance people in maracaibo may use standard vosotros endings for vos vos hablis que vos hablis vosotros imperative ar for ad in spain colloquially the infinitive is used instead of the normative imperative for vosotros this is not accepted in the normative language venir instead of venid callaros instead of callaos callarse in some dialects iros or marcharos instead of idos nonnormative s on t form normatively has an s ending in the second person singular of the preterite or simple past for example lo hicistes instead of the normative lo hiciste hablastes t for hablaste t this is the only instance in which the t form does not end in an s in the normative language ladino has gone further with hablates thirdperson object pronoun variation the thirdperson direct and indirectobject pronouns exhibit variation from region to region from one individual to another and even within the language of single individuals the real academia espaola prefers an etymological usage namely one in which the indirect object function is carried by le regardless of gender and the direct object function is carried by la or lo according to the gender of the antecedent and regardless of of le as a direct object form for masculine animate antecedents ie male humans deviations from these approved usages are named lesmo for the use of le as a direct object and lasmo and losmo for the use of la and lo as indirect objects each of these usages is further described in its own wikipedia article this object pronoun variation is studied in detail by quesmo and dequesmo noun clauses in spanish are typically introduced by the complementizer que and such a noun clause may serve as the object of the preposition de resulting in the sequence de que in the standard language this sequence in turn is often reduced colloquially to just que and this reduction is by way of hypercorrection ie in an apparent effort to avoid the error of quesmo insert de before que in contexts where it is not prescribed in the standard grammar this insertion of extraneous de before que called dequesmo is generally associated with lesseducated speakers

occurred from september to the following day when anita peaked as a category hurricane with winds of mph kmh the storm weakened slightly to a category hurricane before making landfall near soto la marina tamaulipas it rapidly weakened inland decreasing to tropical depression intensity early on september however anita remained intact across mexico and reached the eastern pacific ocean as a depression prior to becoming a tropical cyclone the precursor to anita dropped light rainfall in florida gusty winds and storm surge effected louisiana at grand isle storm tides ft above normal resulted in hundreds of families being asked to evacuate numerous coastal highways in texas including portions of state highway were closed due to above normal tides precipitation reached in in rio grande city in mexico the hurricane caused strong winds and moderate rainfall the winds caused people left homeless the roofs of most buildings were destroyed near the location of anita s landfall the highest amount of precipitation observed during the storm was in at soto la marina tamaulipas overall damage is unknown div div hurricane babe the interaction of a tropical wave and a cold upper low pressure area developed into a subtropical depression in the eastern gulf of mexico on september it strengthened while gradually acquiring tropical characteristics and was reclassified as tropical storm babe late on september the storm curved northnortheastward and by early on the following day it was upgraded to a hurricane around that time babe peaked with maximum sustained winds of mph kmh early on september babe made landfall near cocodrie louisiana at the same intensity later that day it weakened to a tropical storm and then a tropical depression on september however babe continued to move northeastward and then eastnortheastward across the southeastern united states until dissipating early on september the southern united states in louisiana precipitation peaked at in near lafayette flooding damage was primarily to crops mainly sugar cane six tornadoes were spawned in louisiana including one near hammond that severely damage a country store and knocked six woodframe homes off their foundations damage from this tornado alone reached million in other states babe brought flash flooding along its path due to rainfall exceeding in in mississippi northwestern georgia and western north carolina overall babe caused about million in damage but no deaths div div hurricane clara a convective cloud mass with a spiral band of galeforce winds associated with the development of hurricane babe moved across the southeastern united states in early september the system developed a circulation by late on september while tracking across southeastern georgia after a slight drop in barometric pressure and an increase in wind speeds a tropical depression formed inland near charleston south carolina at utc on september the depression initially of cape hatteras north carolina on september it began to organize while accelerating just north of due east at utc on september the depression intensified into tropical storm clara the storm quickly strengthened becoming a hurricane only hours later strong wind shear caused clara to weaken back to a tropical storm on september thereafter the storm executed a cyclonic loop near bermuda by late on september clara accelerated northeastward and became extratropical at utc on september in its early stages the storm dropped light rainfall in the southeastern united states peaking at in in beaufort south carolina additionally clara produced in of precipitation in bermuda the remnants reached canada and produced winds of mph kmh in antigonish nova scotia which knocked over campers uprooted trees damaged barns and caused power outages in the area div div hurricane dorothy a tropical wave emerged into the atlantic ocean from the west coast of africa on september began organizing five days later on september the wave crossed the windward islands bringing wind gusts of mph kmh to guadeloupe and martinique and rainfall of to in on several islands although it was a strong tropical wave the system weakened significantly while crossing hispaniola on september tracking steadily northward it developed into a tropical depression northeast of the bahamas on september a reconnaissance aircraft indicated that the depression strengthened into tropical storm dorothy at utc on september shortly after becoming a tropical storm dorothy passed just south of bermuda though no damage was reported on the island the storm quickly strengthened while tracking northeastward and strengthened into a hurricane at utc on september by early on september dorothy attained its peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of mph kmh and a minimum barometric pressure of mbar inhg later that day dorothy transitioned into an extratropical storm while located south of cape race newfoundland on september the extratropical remnants located in the northern atlantic ocean div div hurricane evelyn a tropical wave emerged into the atlantic ocean from the west coast of africa on october the system tracked westward at an abnormally low altitude of n however because the azores high pressure was abnormally weak the system quickly curved northwestward after a significant increase in convection a tropical depression developed at utc on october while located mi south of bermuda a ship later reported gale force winds prompting an upgrade of the depression to tropical storm evelyn on october early on the following day a reconnaissance flight recorded winds of mph kmh indicating that evelyn became a hurricane later on october accelerated to the northnortheast and made landfall on cape breton island nova scotia with winds of mph kmh at utc shortly after entering the gulf of saint lawrence evelyn merged with a cold front at utc on october near the tip of southeastern newfoundland small amount of rainfall ampndash in on sable island evelyn produced tropical storm force winds reaching mph kmh in both nova scotia and newfoundland the storm dropped light rainfall rarely exceeding in however in newfoundland some areas experienced tropical storm force winds mainly between stephenville and st john s however this may have been in combination with the cold front that evelyn merged with in addition a ship near the southwestern tip of newfoundland reported sustained winds of mph kmh div div tropical storm frieda a tropical wave emerged into the atlantic ocean from the west coast of africa on october the wave tracked uneventfully westward for about days on october the remnants of a cold front reached the northwestern caribbean sea the wave began interacting with it and another cold front that entered the region by october later that day a reconnaissance aircraft reported a surface circulation near swan islands honduras frieda continued to intensify until peaking with winds barometric pressure of mbar inhg early on october later that day frieda weakened and fell to tropical depression intensity at utc on october the storm made landfall near belize city belize as a weak tropical depression frieda promptly dissipated belize city reported only minimal rainfall and light winds around that time the storm passed south of swan island where it produced in in a hour period on grand cayman in of precipitation fell in hours tropical depression nine a tropical depression formed between the greater antilles and bermuda on november initially the depression moved northeastward though on november a building high pressure area forced it to track north of due west eventually an upperlevel low situated over the southern united states caused the depression to recurve northnorthwestward late on november the depression made landfall near cape lookout north carolina by early on the following day the depression degenerated into a low pressure area while located midatlantic and new england before being absorbed by an extratropical cyclone while offshore of maine on november moisture from tropical depression nine and a low pressure area that tracked across the southeastern united states resulted in heavy rainfall over western north carolina and western virginia with up to in at idlewild in the former in north carolina flooding destroyed homes mi of highways and dams flooding was considered the worst in yancey county where nearly every bridge was washed out sixteen counties in the western portions of the state were declared disaster areas the depression also produced to in of rainfall in northern georgia eighteen bridges were destroyed and twentyseven others were damaged in virginia homes were destroyed by flooding with about the same amount suffering major damage similar impact was reported in tennessee strong winds and storm tides in new jersey caused extensive damage overall the flooding event caused deaths in georgia and in tennessee damage totaled million alone other storms in addition to the six named storm and tropical depression nine a total of nine other tropical depressions developed during the season later in june a tropical depression formed in the westcentral gulf of mexico on june it headed northnorthwestward and made landfall in texas by the following day the system rapidly dissipated after moving inland the third tropical depression of the season developed in the central gulf of mexico on july after tracking northward the depression struck near mobile alabama on july by the following day it dissipated in central mississippi in late july another depression developed in the central gulf of mexico on july no further strengthening occurred and by the following day it dissipated north of the yucatn peninsula a tropical depression developed near the west coast of africa on august the system tracked westward for three days without intensifying and dissipated on august the next tropical depression formed well westsouthwest of cape verde on september the lesser antilles about three days later tropical depression four developed in the bay of campeche on september however the depression remained weak and made landfall near tampico tamaulipas at around utc on september later that day it dissipated while barely inland by october another tropical depression formed east of the lesser antilles it headed westnorthwestward and dissipated on october before reaching the windward islands tropical depression six developed in the central atlantic ocean on october it briefly headed eastsoutheastward before curving northwestward on october the system dissipated later that day another tropical depression developed in the gulf of mexico east of the texas and mexico border on october it tracked northeastward without intensification and made landfall in southeast louisiana on october while still a tropical depression the system quickly weakened and dissipated over southern mississippi later that day storm names the following names were used for named storms that formed in the north atlantic in storms were named time in the name anita was later retired because new lists

 halomethane compounds are derivatives of methane ch sub sub with one or more of the hydrogen atoms replaced with halogen atoms f cl br or i halomethanes are both naturally occurring especially in marine environments and manmade most notably as refrigerants solvents propellants and fumigants many including the chlorofluorocarbons have attracted wide attention because they become active when exposed to ultraviolet light found at high altitudes and destroy the earth s protective ozone layer structure and properties like methane itself halomethanes are tetrahedral molecules the halogen atoms differ greatly in size and charge from hydrogen and from each other consequently the various halomethanes deviate from the perfect tetrahedral symmetry of methane the physical properties of the halomethanes are tunable by changes in the number and identity of the halogen atoms in general they are volatile but less so than methane because of the polarizability of the halides the polarizability of the halides and the polarity of the molecules makes flammable than methane broadly speaking reactivity of the compounds is greatest for the iodides and lowest for the fluorides production industrial routes the halomethanes are produced on a massive scale from abundant precursors ie natural gas or methanol and from halogens or halides they are usually prepared by one of three methods free radical chlorination of methane ch sub sub cl sub sub uv ch sub sub cl hcl this method is useful for the production of ch sub x sub cl sub x sub x or the main problems with this method are that it cogenerates hcl and it produces mixtures of different products halogenation of methanol this method is used for the production of the monochloride bromide and iodide ch sub sub oh hcl ch

derivatives from the chlorides hccl sub sub hf hcf sub sub cl hcl traces of halomethanes in the atmosphere arise through the introduction of other nonnatural industrial materials in nature many marine organisms biosynthesize halomethanes especially brominecontaining compounds small amounts of chloromethanes arise from the interaction of chlorine sources with various carbon compounds the biosyntheses of these halomethanes are catalyzed by the chloroperoxidase and bromoperoxidase enzymes respectively an idealized equation is ch sub sub cl sup sup o sub sub ch sub sub cl oh sup sup classes of compounds halons are usually defined as hydrocarbons where the hydrogen atoms have been replaced by bromine along with other halogens they are but simpler than the system used for freons the first digit specifies the number of carbon atoms in the molecule the second is the number of fluorine atoms the third is the chlorine atoms and the fourth is the number of bromine atoms if the number includes a fifth digit the fifth number indicates the number of iodine atoms though iodine in halon is rare any bonds not taken up by halogen atoms are then allocated to hydrogen atoms for example consider halon c f cl br halon has one carbon atom two fluorine atoms one chlorine atom and one bromine atom a single carbon only has four bonds all of which are taken by the halogen atoms so there is no hydrogen thus its formula is cf sub sub nowiki brcl nowiki and its iupac name is therefore toolong ansiashrae standard the refrigerant naming system is mainly used for fluorinated and chlorinated short alkanes used as refrigerants in with additional annual supplements the specified ansiashrae prefixes were fc fluorocarbon or r refrigerant but today most are prefixed by a more specific classification cfc list of chlorofluorocarbons hcfc list of hydrochlorofluorocarbons hfc list of hydrofluorocarbons fc list of fluorocarbons pfc list of perfluorocarbons completely fluorinated the decoding system for cfca is number of double bonds omitted if zero carbon atoms omitted if zero hydrogen atoms fluorine atoms replaced by bromine b prefix added a letter added to identify isomers the normal isomer in any number has the smallest mass difference on each carbon and a b or c are added as the masses diverge from normal other coding systems are in use as well hydrofluoro compounds hfc hydrofluorocarbons hfcs contain no chlorine they are composed entirely of carbon hydrogen and fluorine they have no known effects on the hfcs and perfluorocarbons pfcs are greenhouse gases which cause global warming two groups of haloalkanes hydrofluorocarbons hfcs and perfluorocarbons are targets of the kyoto protocol allan thornton president of the environmental investigation agency a nongovernmental environmental watchdog says that hfcs are up to times as potent as carbon dioxide in global warming wealthy countries are clamping down on these gases thornton says that many countries are needlessly producing these chemicals just to get the carbon credits thus as a result of carbon trading rules under the kyoto protocol nearly half the credits from developing countries are from hfcs with china scoring billions of dollars from catching and destroying hfcs that would be in the atmosphere as industrial byproducts overview of principal halomethanes every permutation of hydrogen fluorine chlorine bromine and iodine on one carbon atom has been evaluated experimentally applications because they have many applications and are easily prepared halomethanes have been of intense commercial interest solvents low flammability and ability to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds makes this colorless liquid a useful solvent it is widely used as a paint stripper and a degreaser in the food industry it is used to decaffeinate coffee and tea as well as to prepare extracts of hops and other flavorings its volatility has led to its use as an aerosol spray propellant and as a blowing agent for polyurethane foams propellants one major use of cfcs has been as propellants of aerosols including metereddose inhalers for drugs used to treat asthma the conversion of these devices and treatments from cfc to propellants that do not have the same effect on the ozone layer is almost complete production and import is now banned in the us fire extinguishing at high temperatures halons decompose to release halogen atoms that combine readily with active hydrogen atoms quenching flame propagation reactions even when adequate fuel oxygen and heat remain the chemical reaction in a flame proceeds as a free radical chain reaction are able to halt the fire at much lower concentrations than are required by fire suppressants using the more traditional methods of cooling oxygen deprivation or fuel dilution for example halon total flooding systems are typically used at concentrations no higher than by volume in air and can suppress many fires at vv by contrast carbon dioxide fire suppression flood systems operate from concentration by volume surfaceonly combustion of liquid fuels up to dust traps carbon dioxide can cause severe distress at concentrations of and has caused death by respiratory paralysis in a few minutes at concentration halon causes only slight giddiness at its effective concentration of and even at those exposed remain conscious but impaired and suffer no long term effects experimental animals have also been exposed to concentrations of halon for hours per week for months with no discernible health effects halon also has low toxicity although it is more toxic than halon however halon fire suppression is not completely nontoxic very high temperature flame or contact with redhot metal can cause decomposition of halon to toxic byproducts the presence of such byproducts is readily detected because they include hydrobromic acid and hydrofluoric acid which are intensely irritating halons are very effective on class a organic solids b flammable liquids and gases and c electrical fires but they are unsuitable for class d metal fires as they will not only produce toxic gas and fail to halt the fire but in some cases pose a risk of explosion halons can be used on class k kitchen oils and greases fires but offer no advantages over specialised foams halon is common in total flooding systems in these systems banks of halon cylinders are kept pressurised to about mpa psi with compressed nitrogen and a fixed piping network leads to the protected enclosure on triggering the entire measured contents of a few seconds through nozzles designed to ensure uniform mixing throughout the room the quantity dumped is precalculated to achieve the desired concentration typically vv this level is maintained for some time typically with a minimum of ten minutes and sometimes up to a twenty minute soak time to ensure all items have cooled so reignition is unlikely to occur then the air in the enclosure is purged generally via a fixed purge system that is activated by the proper authorities during this time the enclosure may be entered by persons wearing scba there exists a common myth that this is because halon is highly toxic in fact it is because it can cause giddiness and mildly impaired perception and also due to the risk of combustion byproducts flooding systems may be manually operated or automatically triggered by a vesda or other automatic detection system in the latter case a warning siren and strobe lamp will first be activated for a few seconds to warn personnel to evacuate the area the air with fog and is accompanied by a loud disorienting noise due to environmental concerns alternatives are being deployed halon is also used in the f fighter to prevent the fuel vapors in the fuel tanks from becoming explosive when the aircraft enters an area with the possibility of attack halon is injected into the fuel tanks for onetime use due to environmental concerns trifluoroiodomethane cf sub sub i is being considered as an alternative halon is typically used in handheld extinguishers in which a stream of liquid halon is directed at a smaller fire by a user the stream evaporates under reduced pressure producing strong local cooling as well as a high concentration of halon in the immediate vicinity of the fire in this mode fire is extinguished by cooling and oxygen deprivation at the core of the fire as well as radical quenching over a larger area after fire suppression the halon diffuses leaving no residue chemical building blocks chloromethane synthesis chlorodifluoromethane is the main precursor of tetrafluoroethylene which is the monomeric precursor to teflon safety haloalkanes are diverse in their properties making generalizations difficult few are acutely toxic but many pose risks from prolonged exposure some problematic aspects include carcinogenicity eg methyl iodide and liver damage eg carbon tetrachloride under certain combustion conditions chloromethanes convert to phosgene which is highly toxic 
 the revolt of the admirals is a name given to an episode that took place in in which several united states navy admirals publicly disagreed with the president and the secretary of defense s plans for the reduction of the navy and their new emphasis on the strategic nuclear bombing role by the air force as the primary means by which the nation was defended the events occurred in the early postwar period when the technologies of large jet aircraft the nuclear bomb and the means by which it could be delivered were in a developmental stage background following the end of world war ii the truman administration was concerned about the large deficit spending that had been necessary for the war effort to reduce expenditures truman instructed the services to drawdown their forces quickly and return to a peacetime military the two main issues facing the services was the question of unification of the services under a single command and the funding that each branch would have in the markedly reduced military budget the discussion george c marshall s call for unification of the department of war and the department of the navy marshall believed that the services needed a unified overall command to better coordinate their activities and to minimize redundancy he first advanced his general ideas on the subject in november and his proposals led to what became known as the unification debates the army made a proposal of command structure which would unite the us army the us navy and a soon to be formed us air force under a single united states department of defense the generals from the army air force believed that with the increased destructive power they could now apply against potential enemies big changes in the manner in which the nation was defended were warranted with the advent of the nuclear age the question arose as to what need existed for conventional military forces the air force generals believed that much of the forces of the other services were unnecessary and could be cut they held that the future for national defense lay with a long range flawed view was accepted by the administration as being correct and the meaningful existence of the other services came into jeopardy said secretary of defense louis a johnson in this environment each military branch believed their future depended on securing and defending a clear cut mission for themselves however the truman administration saw these officers as answering to and serving the truman administration and believed that their attitude in public and in congressional testimony should be in support of the administration s position along these lines came the passage of the national security act of which reorganized the military creating a means by which the various commands were coordinated under a military establishment of three equal executive departments the army navy and air force the generals of the newly formed air force propounded a new doctrine that strategic bombing particularly with nuclear weapons was the sole decisive element necessary to win any future war and was therefore the sole means necessary to deter an adversary from launching a pearl harborlike surprise attack or war which the air force and its supporters regarded as the highest national priority the air force proposed that it should be funded by the congress to build a large fleet of us based longrange strategic heavy bombers the air force generals argued that this project should receive large amounts of funding beginning with an upgraded b peacemaker intercontinental bomber with four times the payload of the b and twice the range the air force planned to fly the b on deep raids into enemy territory using its ceiling altitude of feet to protect it from interdiction the navy disagreed pointing to the impact the navy s carrier arm had on the outcome of the war in the pacific they argued that naval power and carrier aviation were essential to maintaining national defense admiral marc mitscher the former commander of the fast carrier task force was one such officer who publicly commented on the value of the us navy in winning the war and its value in the future defense of the nation the navy leadership believed with or without the use of nuclear weapons the navy also held a moral objection to relying upon the widespread use of nuclear weapons to destroy the major population centers of an enemy homeland the navy pointed out that with the ships they hoped to build in the future naval aviation would be able to continue in its tactical role of close air support using modern aircraft and in addition would also be able to take on the role of nuclear deterrence the uss united states was designed to handle aircraft up to pounds which were large enough to carry the nuclear weapons of the day plans for the united states class carriers called for them carrying up to heavy bombers each with enough aviation fuel for eight bombing raids per plane with a capability to run nuclear weapon drops before resupply became necessary the united states class carriers would be capable of performing the nuclear deterrence mission the admirals requested funding for the building over a fiveyear period cancellation of uss united states the first united states secretary of defense on march president truman replaced forrestal with louis a johnson johnson was a political appointment a former assistant to the secretary of war he had been the primary fundraiser for truman s campaign for the white house in johnson had no qualms over supporting truman s military budget reductions and accepted the air force s argument the air force disliked the navy s aircraft carriers as they were an aviation asset which the air force could not control and which the air force planners considered obsolete in the age of nuclear weapons johnson who was a staunch proponent of the new nuclear bomber force consequently sought to limit as much as possible the navy s procurement of the new large carriers to conserve funds in the markedly reduced postwar military budget less than a month after taking office and without consulting congress johnson ordered cancellation of united states the navy s future and its cancellation greatly demoralized the service secretary of the navy john l sullivan and a number of highranking admirals resigned in protest johnson did not seem disturbed by the resignations his decision to cancel united states provided him with significant economy in the military budget while demonstrating that he was in firm control of the military and able to make difficult decisions a few days later johnson announced another cost saving measure the united states marine corps aviation assets would be transferred to the air force this time his decision was met with such an uproar from congress that this plan had to be quietly dropped to replace sullivan johnson recommended francis p matthews for the position of secretary of the navy a lawyer from omaha nebraska during the second world war he had served as a director of the uso a service organization that entertained the troops he came to the attention of johnson by assisting him with political fund raising for the matthews admitted the nearest he had come to naval experience was rowing a boat on a lake in may truman made the appointment a research group op a naval intelligence unit formed by order of admiral louis e denfeld to advise the cno on unification and headed by captain naval the situation was exacerbated by a series of articles written for the public by rear admiral daniel v gallery which appeared in the the saturday evening post the final article in the series do nt let them scuttle the navy so angered johnson that he wanted admiral gallery courtmartialed for gross insubordination gallery was not made to sit before a courtmartial but he was passed over for promotion to vice admiral and was retired from the navy congressional hearings the debate climaxed during the united states house committee on armed services a second hearing convened in october focused upon the proposed reduction in the navy and the cancellation of the uss united states project the be used to reinforce the air force but could not be used for sustained actions against land targets regarding the uss united states air force chief of staff hoyt vandenberg commented i accept the military capability of this ship as stated by the chief of naval operations my opposition to building it comes from the fact that i can see no necessity for a ship with those capabilities in any strategic plan against the one possible enemy the mig was the soviet answer armed with a mm cannon and two mm cannons it had the hitting power to destroy heavy aircraft fast and with a ceiling of nearly feet it could fly above the bomber formations and then attack down through slipping past the fighter escort operating out of airfields in china its bases were not subject to the constant attention that german airfields had received when they were operating the messerschmitt me presence of the mig meant daylight precision bombing had to be suspended to the b the air force was not willing to risk the aircraft in combat though it did find some use as a high altitude reconnaissance aircraft plagued by frequent engine fires and high maintenance it never played a significant role the navy did get its new carriers the first of which was at tons it was twice the size of world war ii carriers it featured an armoured flight deck that was angled allowing the carrier to launch and recover aircraft at the same time the flight deck was large enough to land the heavy high powered aircraft of the jet age and the ship was equipped with steam catapult launchers to assist them in getting airborne the design of the supercarrier has evolved through the enterprise to the nimitz class to the ford class aircraft carriers proponents of the air force doctrine saw the korean war as an anomalous event the demands of which were not relevant to soviet union however the korean war was followed by the vietnam war which in turn was followed by several smaller conflicts ultimately soviet aggression was never made manifest through a massive nuclear attack but was pressed through a series of proxy conflicts the interests of the united states extended beyond protecting the nation from a hostile invader though the idea of defeating an enemy by the use of overwhelming destructive force was appealing it did not fit the reality the nation was confronted with the us navy has the ten supercarriers of the nimitz class in active service two of the follow on gerald r ford class are currently under construction with eight more to follow through to to replace the enterprise and the nimitz class carriers

range alkborough flats was home to a bombing a summary of an oral history provided by an alkborough resident who was school age during second world war the bombing range itself took the form of a chalk marker on alkborough flats and two observation posts positioned on the ridge overlooking the target an raf detachment from raf elsham wolds including two sergeants were billeted in the southern of the two observation posts bombers would take off from elsham and drop smoke bombs on the target following a bombing run a bearing on the bomb s landing site was taken from each observation post and the position of the site calculated using triangulation during one bombing run a horse was killed and another bomb narrowly missed a group of children sledging after the war agricultural workers ploughing on the flats regularly reported releasing smoke during the establishment of the alkborough flats tidal defence scheme in a large quantity of world war ii ordnance was removed from the site under supervision of bomb disposal officers currently very little remains of the northern observation post is still standing including the observation windows the southern observation post was located at and the northern at they are both accessible to the public via a public footpath the location of the chalk target marker is not known exactly but was somewhere to the west of the new bird hide which is located at defensive structures a number of second world war defensive structures were also located in the alkborough area including three searchlight batteries one of these site was located

alkborough flats is an area of lowlying arable farmland of nearly acre km situated at the confluence of the rivers trent falls where the rivers trent and ouse join to form the humber estuary the alluvial plain and is now jointly owned by the uk s environment agency and english nature flood defences which were built in the s to protect the area have been breached to allow water to reclaim the land at high tide and in times of flooding the project created acre km of new intertidal habitat in the inner part of the humber estuary the new grassland will be managed to encourage biodiversity with reedbeds lagoons and grazing areas alkborough flats is the first coastal realignment site to be developed as part of the humber shoreline management plan this managed retreat strategy should

one path through it is more accurately a labyrinth according to arthur mee s book lincolnshire the maze was cut by monks in the th century but white s lincolnshire directory of maintains that it was constructed in roman times as part of a game others think that while the feature is of roman origin it was later used by the medieval church for some sort of penitential purpose and only reverted to its former use as an amusement or diversion after the reformation firm documentary evidence of its existence only seems to date from however the yorkshire antiquary abraham de la pryme several

 mouth merrimack river lowell massachusetts basincountries united states the concord river is a mikm adjmid tributary of the merrimack river in eastern massachusetts in the united states the river drains a small rural and suburban region northwest of boston one of the most famous small rivers in us history it was the scene of an important early battle of the american revolutionary war and was the subject of a famous thcentury book by henry david thoreau description the river begins in middlesex county formed by the confluence of the sudbury and assabet rivers at egg rock near the concord town center it flows generally north from eastern concord along the northwestern edge of the boston metropolitan area joining the merrimack river from the south on the eastern side of lowell it is a gently flowing stream with little variation in topography along most of its route its drainage basin stretches into worcester county and includes towns within massachusetts native americans called it the musketaquid aquatic or semiaquatic vegetation and its banks are fringed with wild grasses and sedges which stretch for miles along both sides of this placid stream this creates a good environment for a variety of fish including bass shad and alewife river herring pickerel carp and american eel native americans wove sticks in intricate designs to trap alewives and other migrating fish at the mouths of rivers throughout this region by settlers from england began to arrive and they gave the river its present name on april the old north bridge over the river in the town of concord was famously the scene of the battle of concord on the same day when the first shots of the revolutionary war were fired at nearby lexington the small wooden concord bridge a reproduction is preserved by the national park service henry david thoreau wrote his first book a week on the concord and merrimack rivers in while living at nearby walden the rivers with his brother john who had since died thoreau recounted his exploration of the natural beauty of the river and his accompanied thoughts on such eternal themes as truth poetry travel and friendship despite the growth of the suburbs in the vicinity of the river it remains a popular canoeing destination today the last mile of the river in lowell is serious class whitewater dams cause fish population to decrease dams were built along the concord river to increase crop production and also to provide a source of power for operating mills by the th century the native population of shad and alewife became extinct because the dams prevented the mature fish from returning upstream to spawn alewife and other anadromous fish are migratory they hatch in fresh water make their way to the sea to grow then return as adults to fresh water to spawn usually near where they had hatched this instinct is imprinted within the fish when it is born so when the the faulkner dam in north billerica is just one of many blockages that caused the alewife population to collapse on the concord river at this point water was diverted north to lowell and south to charlestown to run the middlesex canal effects of pollution during the th century the concord river was near the heart of the us industrial revolution textile paper tanning and mining industries all emerged during this period industrial wastes were dumped into the river along with untreated sewage and other organic waste industrial development within the watershed peaked in the s the early s saw an increase chemical and metal firms in support of the electronics industry within the boston metropolitan area by the s the merrimack river was considered one of the top ten most polluted waterways in america the concord river empties into the merrimack river the passage of the clean water act in signaled the beginning of us efforts to improve the quality of its waterways the act imposed stricter controls on point source led to the installation of three wastewater treatment plants on the banks of the concord river one in concord and two in billerica these plants have helped to prevent subsequent damage to the river ecosystem when they were able to operate within federally mandated limits pollutants such as heavy metals and pcbs remain trapped in the sediment throughout much of the sudbury river and downstream into the concord river fish consumption is banned due to mercuryladen sediments from the nyanza superfund site and other sources perchlorate was detected in the concord river in august initially it was believed that explosives used in road and building construction were the source of this pollutant however an investigation by the town of billerica eventually determined that the source was a local company that produced surgical and medical materials the company was using gallons per month of perchloric acid in a bleaching process and rinse water was being discharged into the sewage system after the company was identified it voluntarily shut down until ion exchange equipment could be installed billerica was the subject of legal action and forced to pay a penalty for discharging pollutants into the concord river the action was brought by the us environmental protection agency epa and the massachusetts department of environmental protection massdep because the town of billerica exceeded allowable effluent limits for phosphorus fecal coliform bacteria ph and ammonia nitrogen the town was also charged with failing to submit discharge monitoring reports failing to comply with monitoring requirements and failing to submit infiltration and inflow reporting according to the epa billerica s discharges of phosphorus created an overabundance of nutrients which damaged the river by stimulating excessive aquatic plant growth recovery effort in may the us fish and wildlife service the massachusetts riverways program and volunteers from the sudbury valley trustees svt released adult alewife river herring into the concord river they were transferred from the nemasket river so that they could lay their eggs and spawn upstream this imprinted the young alewives with the more than juvenile alewives were observed in heard pond located on the sudbury river fishery biologists in the us fish and wildlife service hope that after three to five years in the ocean these fish will complete the cycle by swimming back to heard pond again the fishery biologists say the fish will be able to swim over the top of north billerica s faulkner dam on the way downstream however on the return trip the fish will need to be transported around the dam if a sufficient number of fish return the us fish and wildlife service will explore options for a more permanent solution which may include modifications to the dam

the doctor dropped earlier they are then suddenly whisked off into time and space continuity wotan refers to the doctor as doctor who the only time the character is ever given this name within the series narrative though he was credited as such in the end titles from the start of season until the end of season of the classic series and then again in series of the meaning of the acronym tardis this serial is the only time during the blackandwhite era of the series when the crew of the tardis is completely replaced with the doctor being the only continuing character this serial marks the last appearance of the st john ambulance emblem on the tardis exterior door until the eleventh doctor s tenure begins in s the eleventh hour the story appears to end on july the date given in dialogue for the second doctor story the faceless ones also set in london where ben states that that is the same date as when he and polly joined the tardis the past doctor adventures novel the time travellers by simon guerrier is set in an alternative reality where the doctor had not been around to stop wotan the villain is never referred to by name only as the machine and while he was overthrown thousands were left insane by his mindcontrol and britain was reduced to a technologically backward dictatorship the decision the producers felt that the audience was becoming bored with the purely historical episodes that had been a major element of the show to date as a result this story marks the beginning of the turn away from historical stories the next two historical stories the smugglers which immediately follows the war machines and season s the highlanders were to be the last purely historical stories until season s black orchid production working titles for this story included the computers the idea for this story came about when kit pedler was being interviewed for a position as science adviser to the series the producers asked all of the interviewees what would happen if the recently built post office tower somehow took over pedler suggested that it would be the work of a rogue computer that communicated with the outside world by means of the telephone system the producers liked this suggestion and not only offered one of the few to feature a story idea by credit pat dunlop was then hired to write a full set of teleplays from pedler s idea but quit after becoming busy with other work and the teleplays were subsequently done by ian stuart black who had also written the previous serial the savages only one war machine prop was actually constructed the production team changed the numbers to represent the different machines the titling style of each episode in this serial differs from the standard titles of other serials instead of a title overlay after the doctor who logo has faded the screen shifts to a solid background containing four inversely coloured rectangles aligned down the lefthand side reminiscent to an oldstyle computer punch card the title one word at a time scrolls upwards the war mach ines with a final flash displaying the complete title on two lines another flash reveals the writer the next flash reveals actual episode number all of the lettering displayed in this titling sequence is shown in a retrocomputer font each of the four episodes title sequences have slight variations to them casting sandra bryant appeared in the macra terror as did john harvey john rolfe later played sam in the moonbase and fell in the green death frank jarvis later played ankh in underworld and skart in the power of kroll michael craze provided the voice of a policeman heard in episode four wotan received a credit as and wotan at the end of the first three episodes the only time a fictional character was credited as itself in the series jackie lane s contract expired midway through production of this story she does not appear again after episode two dodo s offscreen departure is relayed to the doctor by polly missing episodes aside from its soundtrack recorded offair by fans the s the master videotapes for the story were the last of those starring william hartnell to be junked surviving until the mm film telerecording copies held by bbc enterprises were also the last of their kind to be destroyed surviving until shortly before the junking of material was halted by the intervention of fan ian levine in a collector in australia provided a copy of episode later in copies of all four episodes were returned from nigeria episodes and all had cuts to them but most have been restored due to a combination of the other copy of episode material used in a promotional item on the bbc s blue peter and censored clips from australia some of the restored footage did not have its accompanying soundtrack and so the missing sound was restored from the offair recordings the war machines is the last surviving complete serial from the william hartnell era the following serial while hartnell s final serial the tenth planet is missing episode this serial is also the only one featuring michael craze and anneke wills as ben and polly that is complete to date only episodes and do not exist in their entirety as was originally intended episode is missing a visual brief bit of dialogue with krimpton talking this was replaced in the vhs release with a combination of a shot of wotan with the accompanied dialogue from the offair recordings episode is also missing around seconds worth of the battle in the warehouse episode is missing only a small amount of material the first instance occurs with the man in the telephone box part of the continuing closeup of the man talking on the telephone is missing but this was compensated on the vhs release by continuing in audioonly over the top of the beginning of the high shot of the phone box there are also two lines of dialogue missing when polly reports back to reinstated for the vhs release as it was felt that there would nt be enough visual material to drop into the gap the dvd release has all of the episodes recreated and restored to their original length as well as a minute documentary showing how the episodes were reconstructed from all the disparate sources broadcast and reception in patrick mulkern of radio times praised the contemporary edge taken with the war machines though he wrote that the plot was mechanical with several improbabilities dvd talk s j doyle wallis gave the war machines three out of five stars calling it serviceable with wotan and its henchmen lacking depth den of geek also gave the story three stars highlighting hartnell s performance and opining that the story holds up well though there were some plot holes arnold t blumburg of ign rated the story out of noting that the concept had aged but it was entertaining however he criticised dodo s he sometimes seemed lost in the setting the av club reviewer christopher bahn on the other hand described the plot as pretty good if not a classic with an appealing bmovie sensibilitythis feels like a better if equally cheaply made version of the kind of movie featured on mystery science theater however he criticised the abrupt departure of dodo johnathan wilkins of dreamwatch gave the serial a score of out of calling it something of a forgotten masterpiece mostly due to hartnell s performance however he noted that the war machines themselves were too dull and boxy in ben lawrence of the daily telegraph named the war machines as one of the top ten doctor who stories set in the contemporary time commercial releases in print setbetween a novelisation of this serial written by ian stuart black was published by target was released on vhs in with an item from blue peter and a bbc globe ident from the first part of the story as extras a

some of the small islands to the south and east of there maleonly colonies are also located on the cook strait coast of the north island near wellington and vagrants are found as far north as new caledonia the english common name new zealand fur seal is used by english speakers in new zealand kekeno is used in the mori language and southern fur seal by english speakers in australia although the two populations show some genetic differences their morphologies are very similar and thus they remain classed as a single species although the seals look docile they can move surprisingly quickly and it is advisable never to approach a female with young or get between a seal and the water cutting off its escape route to the seal is a fairly large mammal males have been reported to be as large as kg in the literature but the average weight is about kg males can also grow to be meters long females are between kg on average and can grow to be as long as meters pups are kg on average and between and cm long at days old males are about kg and females are about kg they have external ears and hind flippers that rotate forward which visibly distinguish them from other seals they have a pointy nose with long pale whiskers the fur seals are covered by two layers of fur and their coat is greybrown on their back but it is lighter on their belly some fur seals have white tips on longer upper hairs which can give the fur seal a silver like appearance behavioral characteristics diving new zealand fur seals porpoise out of the water when traveling quickly at diving out of any other fur seal because they can dive deeper and longer females can dive for about minutes and to a depth of about meters but females can dive deeper and longer in autumn and winter males can dive for about minutes to a depth of about meters on average new zealand fur seals only dive for minutes when they dive for food they dive deeper during the day but shallower at night because during the day their prey typically migrates to deeper depths and migrates back up during the night communication males vocalize through a bark or whimper either a gluttural threat a lowintensity threat a full threat or a submissive call females growl and also have a highpitched pup attraction wail call breeding female new zealand fur seals mature between and years old and males mature between and years old these seals

about days pups start to eat solid food just before weaning pups are eventually weaned around september and they disperse diet their diet includes cephalopods fish and birds stomach contents have been analyzed and shown to include anchovy barracuda flounder and many other species there are different factors that affect their diet such as season sex breeding surrounding colony oceanography and climatic patterns predators new zealand fur seals known predators are killer whales sharks male new zealand sea lions and possibly leopard seals new zealand sea lions are also known to target pups as their prey human impact these seals were widely hunted from shortly after the european discovery of new zealand until the late th century the population of the new zealand seal fell to levels under of the original numbers today trawls and fisheries are one of the main sources of death in new zealand fur seals they cause entanglement and drowning it has been estimated by the royal forest and bird protection society that over seals could have drowned in nets between and they are also known to be shot by commercial and recreational fishermen because they sometimes interfere with fishing gear how often these shootings occur is unknown is expected to increase new zealand fur seals have recently received protection by the creation of a million hectare marine park that is located on the eastern

 hawazma part of sudan s baggara tribe are cattle herders who roam the area from the southern parts of north kurdufan to the southern borders of south kurdufan a distance of about kilometers through their nomadic movement the hawazma know the area terrain ethnic groups local tribes tribal cultures ecosystems climate vegetation existence of risks and diseases and water resources better than any other inhabitants of the region the term baggara is a collective name applied to all cattleherding tribes with arab roots cattle herders from nuba tribes are not called baggara cattle herders of middle and eastern sudan although they arabic in roots are also not baggara the baggara occupies a wide area from kordofan midwestern sudan to darfur in the far western sudan and extending to neighboring chad they are a collection of seven major tribes hawazma messiria humr messiria zurug rizeigat taisha habbaniya beni halba awlad himayd and beni selam religion food and in general a common culture and way of life origins the hawazma are believed to have migrated to sudan during early days of islamic missionaries to africa as part of baggara arabs perhaps as early as the th century most historians believe they belong to the guhayna group a clan of bedouin arabs which migrated from saudi arabia hawazma traditional historians say they originally came from the arabian peninsula to egypt then followed the river nile until they settled on jebel awliyya part of khartoum province and as the grazing land became scarce and overcrowded they gradually moved to western sudan these stories correspond well with the presence of scores of hawazma in kosti middle sudan um rowaba eastern part of kordofan and al rahad middleeastern part of kordofan the journey continued beyond kordofan to darfur on the western sudan and today they have reached chad the country on western border of sudan wherever baggara settle they start a seasonal nomadic movement that goes from north to south to their historical migration route mostly they only follow two routes one route from north to south and different route from south to north but the routes are not far apart and they are permanent they never change them any tribe has its own routes hawazma are mostly found in routes originating from al obeid city in north kurdufan through deling city and its eastern part kadugli city and its eastern part to talodi region messiria just borders them to the west humr borders messiria to the west and so forth today the hawazma in particular and baggara in general bear little resemblance to bedouin arabs due to their acclimatization and their intermarriage with other african tribes many hawazma subtribes have dark skin and closely resemble nuba tribes and many members of these tribes speak nuba dialects fluently still some tribe names indicate their mixed origins other hawazma subtribes have preserved their arabic features light brown complexion and thick eyebrows and lashes socioecnonomic factors pastoralism and agriculture generally hawazma settled in villages or established villages from southern parts of al obeid city in northern kordofan to talodi city in south kordofan those who settled in northern border of south kordofan or southern border of north kordofan are mostly gumaiyya including gumaiyya kilaibab gumaiyya al hussienat and gumaiyya matrafia in addition to other hawazma oulad gaboush and dar niayylie these subtribes intermarried with bidaria and mosabaat and other kordofanian tribes their lifestyle closely resembles the kordofanian tribes mostly engaged in raising crops and cattle notably their hawazma arabic accent is inclined to include kordofanian arabic accents similarly they adopted a way of cultivation crop tending and harvesting similar to those other kordofanian tribes they used a longsticked spade called jarrieh and saloqqa they tend their farm while standing not similar to those of hawazma deep in south kordofan who tend while they are sitting on their heels their crops include millet watermelon groundnuts sesame and hibiscus those who settled in the middle of south kordofan balal gumaiyya nafar ayyad gumaiyya nafar adam and others these who settled around the deling city and its suburb are mostly hawazma dar niayylie both groups have adopted the main stream hawazma way of life and their hawazma arabic accents in terms of agricultural practices they grow sorghum sesame cotton and okra they mostly use tools such as sollucab for seeding and antabab and axe for clearing shrubs and trees mostly cultivate by uprooting grasses with their bare hands these are among the most victimized hawazma during this civil wars on the southern parts of south kordofan settled hawazma al rawawqa al rawawqa subtribe embodies large subsubtribal diversity among the most prevalent are rawawqa oulad nuba these are group of hawazma who most resembles nuba in most of their living habits and agricultural practices they cultivate with jarrieh a nuba developed tool tend while sitting on their heels mostly grow sorghum sesame and groundnuts and gather wild okra again these are among the most victimized hawazma in the region hawazma darbettie now separated from those living central south kordofan due to geographic distance on the western parts of south kordofan no hawazma live their it is found our cousins messiria humr rezeigat taisha and habbaniya they have similar lifestyles as hawazma and only differentiated by their phonetic accents of arabic language character appearance and costumes hawazma like any other baggara people have graceful slim physical statues their skins range from light brown to dark colors explorers to the region motioned that they have far better mental capabilities wit and humor than any other african tribes around them they have passion for life and collective life style the men wear a white gown called jallabiyya white pants pajamas a head cap called tagiatt big white turbans called eema and locally made leather shoes called marqoub always men of all ages carry knives which are worn on the forceps of the carry sticks spears sometimes swords or big spears the women wear a dress called foustan and cover their bodies with taubes such as indian sari young men wear eyecatching colored flashy shirts shorts pants beads necklaces and bracelets young women wear foustanff during festivals and dancing to show their ornate braided hairstyles sociological issues gender health and education baggara are mostly illiterate in the early days they look to the school as a way to alienate their kids to teach them moral delinquencies to distract them from baggara way of life cattle herding and nomadic movement young baggara look after cows daylong they return to baggara camp during evening times baggara lack clean drinking water health clinics electricity television radio and other forms of media pregnant women rarely visit clinics or doctors female genital mutilation is common facial scarring called shoulokh lips sticking and braided hair are usual practices among cows prepare meals raise kids market dairy products build houses and participate in crop cultivation baggara youth are cheerful group in the baggara families their main mental set to look for festivals rituals dancing gossip around for absentinence and only supervises young kids to range cattle men are completely idle during dry seasons play dala sort of cards played with sticks and coordinate the meager activity during summer such as delivering grains to mills and bringing the daily family grocery from women s marketeddairyproduct money baggara raise huge herds never for marketing but for prestige the wealth and prestige is determined by the size of one s herds women crush on those with large herds the work of anthropologist barbara michael work is a large contribution to the subject of hawazma socioenonomics beginnings of conflict beginning in early radio broadcasts by south sudanese rebels alarmed the people of south kordofan and increased tensions in the area soon after weapons started to appear on the black market for service the weapons trade was flourishing with gun sellers roaming the baggara villages and nomad camps a young man without a machine gun was just like a woman to be a man you had to have a machine gun the baggara started to organize themselves as militia the militiamen given themselves roles to protect the baggara camps and fight to defend the villages nomeri s regime began arming messiria zurug and messiria humr to balance the rebel attack on abyei area the rebels attacked a chevron oil company site killing four chevron employees also they attacked the baggara campuses to acquire cattle for food now the war completely broke at southwest of south kordofan by the end of normeri s regime in south kordofan was in chaos although other parts of kordofan were peaceful during al sadiq al mahdi era the messiria zurug and messiria humr were armored the paramilitary forces became legal and carrying weapons was legal everyone had ak machine gun during this time rebels attacked around talodi city the baggara were heavily victimized in gardoud sixty baggara were dead wounded see the first paragraph in this report religious leaders and imams were publicly executed women were raped houses were burned and cattle herds were raided south kordofan now is a war zone people evacuated the cities traders stopped their trades and all other tribes and ethnic groups not from south kordofan left the region civil war in yusif kuwa mekki entered south kordofan as commander for the rebels immediately war expanded to el hamra el buram um sirdiba and surrounding areas hawazma villages were systematically targeted by rebels killing them as groups individuals or evacuate them completely as what was happened in um sirdiba africa justice organization provided many reports documenting abuses by spla these reports indicate the worse human rights situation in south kordofan in al boukhas village was completely destroyed and about villages of hawazma were either attacked or evacuated before the attack and end of about baggara were either relocated to big cities or displaced and resettled on the northern border of south kordofan for six years kuwa war machines six battalions were directed to systematic torturing of baggara tribes completely destroying their infrastructures and eliminating their educated youth leaders and the elite we have not seen any major attack on military compuses or major military stronghold places in south kordofan the war was directed toward baggara tribesmens in january abu safifa village was burned to the ground by february only baggara men stayed on the villages while kids women and the elderly were displaced or relocated the war became ethnic cleansings against the baggara while the west still misleaded with the ngos which look after their religious and political agenda in south kordofan desperate tribal wars rebel guerrilla fighters were looking for excitement in the news by destroying baggara villages to show their presence then escape to the mountains tops such as morou mountain or tolishi mountains nuba militia fighters tarrevera militia fighters from morou crossed the road for every vehicle evacuating baggara and executing them they placed road mines and ambushed cars when mines went off they would attack kill or loot goods and then they would escape to mountains or densely forested valleys during the military regime of president omar hassan albashir which came to power in june by revolting against elected prime minister sadiq al mahdi government south kordofan entered a new phase of the civil war islamic jihad war against infidels was completely the norm of life in south kordofan religious decrees fatwas were declared urging people to join the war baggara are percent muslims and percent of nuba are muslims then who was the islamic war against however due to desperation of baggara following the unspeakable atrocities by rebels they sided with the military forces to protect themselves soon yusuf kuwa and rebels fighters realized the effect of baggara on the war balance basically attributed to their the baggara lead the government forces to caves and hiding places for the rebels rebels commander yusif kuwa mekki started to negotiate with baggara either to take side with him or at least to refrain from supporting the government army against the rebels yusuf kuwa successed in convening and writing many mutual agreements with local baggara leaders baggara held good to their agreements this came to disadvantage the government the government thereafter started a full swing against baggara who hold to their agreements by jailing torturing or killing or forcing them to refrain from any agreements as of today with peace agreement in progress baggara has nothing to negotiate they were used abused and victimized by the rebels and the government forces ngos never came to baggara villages to report the atrocities and probably assumed not deserving any human rights

owing to bad health lentaigne and the chindits lentaigne was an outsider in the chindit organization he was appointed by general wavell in the spring of to raise th indian brigade as a second chindit brigade because wingate was in burma conducting the chindit operation operation longcloth he was unable to influence the choice wingate s dislike of indian army officers and in particular officers of gurkha battalions also worked against lentaigne he objected to the appointment after he learned of it but was unable to do anything about on wingate s death lentaigne took over command of the chindit organization he was the seniormost officer in the chindits and also had the most command experience general slim described the problems involved in replacing wingate within the chindits to step into wingate s place would be no easy task his successor had to one who had shared their hardships and in whose skill and in whose skill and courage they could trust again british commanders states the inevitable choice for the new chief of the chindits was major general lentaigne he was one of wingate s closest disciples and a veteran of the burma fighting amongst his rivals for the position including mike calvert and derek tulloch there was criticism of this decision they alleged that lentaigne was the chindit leader least in tune with wingate s methods and tactics they also pointed out that he had commanded indian brigade in the field for only a few weeks after the war certain of his rivals used the comments of his brigade major john masters with regard to lentaigne s age out of context to attack him lentaigne had been a distinguished battalion commander who had fought during the burma campaign the other chindit brigade commanders were unknown quantities lacking staff college qualifications or significant time in command of even a battalionsized formation additionally there was no clear successor to thought that they would have been or were wingate s obvious successor

 the kuroshio black tide is a northflowing ocean current on the west side of the north pacific ocean it is similar to the gulf stream in the north atlantic and is part of the north pacific ocean gyre like the gulf stream it is a strong western boundary current physical properties it begins off the east coast of taiwan and flows northeastward past japan where it merges with the easterly drift of the north pacific current it is analogous to the gulf stream in the atlantic ocean transporting warm tropical water northward toward the polar region it is sometimes known as the black stream the english translation of kuroshio and an allusion to the deep blue of its water and also as the the path of kuroshio south of japan is reported every day its counterparts are the north pacific current to the north the california current to the east and the north equatorial current to the south the warm waters of the northernmost coral reefs in the world the branch into the sea of japan is called the japan current is responsible for the mild weather experienced around alaska s southern coast and in british columbia biological properties distribution western boundary currents transport organisms long distances rapidly and a variety of commercially important marine organisms migrate in these currents in the course of completing their lives subtropical gyres occupy a large fraction of the world s ocean and are more productive than originally thought in addition their fixation of carbon dioxide is an important factor in the global budget for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere satellite images of the kuroshio current illustrates how the current path meanders and forms isolated rings or eddies on the order of ampndash km eddies retain their unique form for several months and have their own biological characteristics that depend on where they form if the eddies are formed between the current and coastline of japan they may impinge on the continental shelf their high kinetic energy has the effect one side of the ring while adding water to the other side the eddies size and strength decline with distance from major ocean currents the amount of energy decreases from the rings associated with the major currents and down to eddies remote from those currents cyclonic eddies have the potential to cause upwelling that would affect the global primaryproduction budget upwelling brings cold nutrientrich water to the surface resulting in an increase in productivity the biological consequences for young fish populations that inhabit the shelf are quite large production impact of eddies the kuroshio is a warm current c annual average sea surface temperature about km wide and produces frequent small to mesoscale eddies the kuroshio current is ranked as a moderately high productivity ecosystem with primary production of to grams of carbon per square meter per year based on seawifs global primary productivity estimates the coastal areas are highly productive and the maximum chlorophyll value is found around meters depth there are indications that eddies by the kuroshio plankton biomass fluctuates yearly and is typically highest in the eddy area of the kuroshios edge warmcore rings are not known for having high productivity however the biology of the warmcore rings from the kuroshio current show results of productivity equally distributed throughout for a couple of reasons one is upwelling at the periphery the other is the convective mixing caused by the cooling of surface water as the ring moves north of the current the thermostad is the deep mixed layer that has discrete boundaries and uniform temperature within this layer nutrientrich water is brought to the surface which generates a burst of primary production given that the water in the core of a ring has a different temperature regime than the shelf waters there are times when a warmcore ring is undergoing its spring bloom while the surrounding shelf waters are not there are many complex interactions with the warmcore ring and thus lifetime productivity is not very different from the surrounding shelf water a study in found that the primary in the cold jet outside it with evidence of upwelling of nutrients within the ring in addition there was discovery of dense populations of phytoplankton at the nutricline in a ring presumably supported by upward mixing of nutrients furthermore there have been acoustic studies in the warmcore ring which showed intense sound scattering from zooplankton and fish populations in the ring and very sparse acoustic signals outside of it copepods have been used as indicatorspecies of water masses it has been suggested that copepods have been transported from the kuroshio current into southwest taiwan through the luzon strait the kuroshio intrusion through the luzon strait and further into the south china sea may explain why copepods show a very high diversity in adjacent waters of the intrusion areas the kuroshio current intrusion has a major influence on c sinicus and e concinna which are two copepod species with higher index values for winter and originate from the east china sea during the southwestern monsoon the south china sea surface as a result of this water circulation the zooplankton communities in the boundary waters are unique and diverse fish the biomass of fish stocks depends on the biomass of lower trophic levels primary production and on oceanic and atmospheric conditions in the kuroshiooyashio region the fish catches depend on oceanographic conditions such as the oyashios southward intrusion and the kuroshios large meander south of honshu the oyashio current contains subarctic water that is much colder and fresher than the resident water east of honshu thus the oyashio intrusion affects recruitment biomass and catch of species such as pollock sardine and anchovy when the oyashio is well developed and protrudes southward the cold waters are favorable for sardine production the kuroshio large meander development correlates with sardine recruitment and catch due to the proximity of the kuroshio meander to the southern spawning grounds of sardine squid the japanese squid todarodes pacificus has three stocks that breed in winter summer and autumn the winter spawning in january to april in the east china sea the larvae and juveniles travel north with the kuroshio current they are turned inshore and are caught between the islands of honshu and hokkaido during the summer the summer spawning is in another part of the east china sea from which the larvae are entrained into the tsushima current that flows north between the islands of japan and the mainland afterward the current meets a southward flowing cold coastal current the liman current and the summerspawned squid are fished along the boundary between the two this illustrates the use of these western boundary currents as a rapid transport that enable the eggs and larvae to develop during winter in warm water while the adults travel with minimum energy expenditure to exploit the rich northern feeding grounds studies have reported that annual catches in japan have gradually increased since the late s and it has been proposed that changing environmental conditions have caused the autumn and winter spawning areas in the tsushima strait and near the goto islands to overlap in slope in the east china sea are expanding 
 seclusion is the act of secluding ie shutting out or keeping apart from society or the state of being secluded or a place that facilitates it a secluded place a person a couple or a larger group may go to a secluded place for privacy or because the place is quiet seclusion of a single person is also called solitude restrictions on the seclusion of a man and a woman in some cases where there are legal religious or social restrictions on two people having physical intimacy there may be restrictions on being together in a secluded place for example under traditional schools of sharia or islamic law a man and a woman who are not married and not mahram being together in a house a room a bathroom or a secluded place may be forbidden a man and woman could be in a secluded area for work purposes just talking or anything that does not allow them to pass their limits as a therapy seclusion may be used as a control tactic in psychiatric treatment settings seclusion of an agitated person in a quiet room free of stimulation may help deescalate a situation which may be dangerous to the agitated person or those around him in relation to administering medications seclusion is a tactic devised for those unwilling to proceed with instructions patients who are secluded due to aggressive behaviour should not be restrained to seclusion nor medication to calm them instead restraint measures should be taken into consideration other measures such as behavioural therapy should be considered when assessing the care of the patient seclusion must only be used in the best interest of the patient it must only be used as a last resort method and it must not be prolonged as a form of punishment on the patient in ireland the mental health commission governs seclusion in psychiatric institutions the act states that people can only be placed in seclusion if it prevents them from hurting themselves andor others and it complies with seclusion people can go into voluntary seclusion to enjoy peace and quiet and possibly to pray in the film the sound of music the character maria went into seclusion to pray when she came back to the abbey because she needed time alone after the baroness told her that captain von trapp was in love with maria and maria was going to be a nun

 glycophorin c gypc cdcdr glycoprotein beta glycoconnectin pas plays a functionally important role in maintaining erythrocyte shape and regulating membrane material properties possibly through its interaction with protein moreover it has previously been shown that membranes deficient in protein exhibit decreased content of glycophorin c it is also an integral membrane protein of the erythrocyte and acts as the receptor for the plasmodium falciparum protein pfebp erythrocyte binding protein baebl eba history the antigen was discovered in when three women who lacked the antigen made antigea in response to pregnancy the antigen is named after one of the patients a mrs gerbich the following year a new but related antigen was discovered in a mrs yus for whom an antigen in this system is also named in a numerical system for the antigens in this blood group was introduced genomics despite the similar names glycophorin c and d are unrelated to the other three glycophorins latter proteins are closely related glycophorin a and glycophorin b carry the blood group mn and ss antigens respectively there are molecules of gpc and gpd per erythrocyte originally it was thought that glycophorin c and d were the result of a gene duplication event but it was only later realised that that they were encoded by the same gene glycophorin d gpd is generated from the glycophorin c messenger rna by leaky translation at an in frame aug at codon glycophorin d glycophorin c residues to this leaky translation appears to be a uniquely human trait glycophorin c gpc is a single polypeptide chain of amino acids and is encoded by a gene on the long arm of chromosome qq the gene was first cloned in by high et al the gpc gene is organized in four exons distributed over kilobase pairs of dna exon encodes residues exon residues exon residues and highly homologous with less than nucleotide divergence these exons also differ by a amino acid insert at the end of exon the direct repeated segments containing these exons is kilobase pairs long and may be derived from a recent duplication of a single ancestral domain exons and most of exon encode the nterminal extracellular domain while the remainder of exon and exon encode transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains two isoforms are known and the gene is expressed in a wide variety of tissues including kidney thymus stomach breast adult liver and erythrocyte in the non erythroid cell lines expression is lower than in the erythrocyte and the protein is differentially glycosylated in the erythrocyte glycophorin c makes up of the membrane sialoglycoproteins the average number of o linked chains is per molecule the gene is expressed early in the development of the erythrocyte specifically in the erythroid burstforming unit and erythroid colonyforming unit the mrna from human erythroblasts is kilobases long mapped to base pairs of the start codon it is expressed early in developlment and before the kell antigens rhesusassociated glycoprotein glycophorin a band the rhesus antigen and glycophorin b in melanocytic cells glycophorin c gene expression may be regulated by mitf gpc appears to be synthesized in excess in the erythrocyte and that the membrane content is regulated by band protein additional data on the regulation of glycophorin c is in a study of this gene among the hominoidea two finding unique to humans emerged an excess of nonsynonymous divergence among species that appears to be caused solely by accelerated evolution and the ability of the single gypc gene to encode both the gpc and gpd proteins the cause for this is not known but it was suggested that these findings might be the result of infection by plasmodium falciparum molecular biology after separation of red cell membranes by sdspolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and staining with periodic acidschiff staining been named glycophorin a b c and d in order of the quantity present in the membrane glycophorin a being the most and glycophorin d the least common a fifth glycophorin e has been identified within the human genome but can not easily be detected on routine gel staining in total the glycophorins constitute of the total erythrocyte membrane protein mass confusingly these proteins are also known under different nomenclatures but they are probably best known as the glycophorins glycophorin c was first isolated in glycophorin c and d are minor sialoglycoproteins contributing to and to the paspositive material and are present at about and x sup sup copiescell respectively in polyacrylimide gels glycophorin c s apparent weight is kilodaltons kda its structure is similar to that of other glycophorins a highly glycoslated extracellular domain residues a transmembrane domain residues and an intracellular domain residues about of the glycophorin c present in the erythrocyte is within the membrane glycophorin d s apparent molecular weight is kda on average this protein has o linked oligosaccarides per molecule within the erythrocyte it interacts with band an kda protein and p a palmitoylated peripheral membrane phosphoprotein and a member of the membraneassociated guanylate kinase family to form a ternary complex that is critical for the shape and stability of erythrocytes the major attachment sites between the erythrocyte spectrinactin cytoskeleton and the lipid bilayer are glycophorin c and band the interaction with band and p is mediated by the n terminal kd domain of band binding to a amino acid segment residues residues of glycophorin d within the cytoplasmic domain of glycophorin c and to a positively charged amino acid motif in p the majority of protein is bound to glycophorin c the magnitude of the strength of the interaction between glycophorin c and band has been estimated to be micronewtons per meter a figure typical of proteinampndash protein interactions glycophorin this is reduced in southeast asian ovalocytosis a disease of erythrocytes due to a mutation in band transfusion medicine these glycophorins are associated with eleven antigens of interest to transfusion medicine the gerbich ge ge ge the yussef yus the webb wb or ge the duch dha or ge the leach the lewis ii lsa or ge the ahonen ana or ge and gepl ge geat ge and geti ge six are of high prevalence ge ge ge ge ge ge and five of low prevalence wb lsa ana dha and ge gerbich antigen glycophorin c and d encode the gerbich ge antigens there are four alleles ge to ge three types of ge antigen negativity are known ge leach phenotype ge and ge a because of unequal crossing over between the two repeated domains is responsible for the formation of the ge genotype the breakpoints of the deletion are located within introns and and results in the deletion of exon this mutant gene is transcribed as a messenger rna with a continuous open reading frame extending over nucleotides and is translated into the sialoglycoprotein found on ge red cells a second kilobase pair deletion within the glycophorin c gene eliminates only exon by a similar mechanism and generates the mutant gene encoding for the abnormal glycoprotein found on ge erythrocytes the ge epitope is antigenic only on glycophorin d and is a cryptic antigen in glycophorin c it is located within exon and is sensitive to trypsin and papain but resistant to chymotrypsin and pronase the ge epitope is encoded by exon it is sensitive to trypsin but resistant to chymotrypsin papain and pronase it is thought to lie in the between amino acids in glycophorin c residues in amino acids of glycophorin c it is sensitive to trypsin papain pronase and neuraminidase leach antigen the relatively rare leach phenotype is due either to a deletion in exons and or to a frameshift mutation causing a premature stop codon in the glycophorin c gene and persons with this phenotype are less susceptible of the control rate to invasion by plasmodium falciparum such individuals have a subtype of a condition called hereditary elliptocytosis the abnormally shaped cells are known as elliptocytes or cameloid cells the basis for this phenotype was first reported by telen et al the phenotype is ge yussef antigen the yussef yus phenotype is due to a base pair deletion corresponding to exon the antigen is known as gpc yus glycophorin c mutations are rare in most of the western world but are more common in some places where malaria is endemic in melanesia a greater percentage of any other part of the world the incidence of gerbichnegative phenotype caused by an exon deletion in the wosera east sepik province and liksul madang province populations of papua new guinea is and respectively webb antigen the rare webb wb antigen donors originally described in in australia is the result of an alteration in glycosylation of glycophorin c an a to g transition at nucleotide results in an asparagine residue instead of the normal serine residue with the resultant loss of glycoslation the antigen is known as gpc wb duch antigen the rare duch dh antigen was discovered in aarhus denmark and is also found on glycophorin c it is due to a c to t transition at nucleotide resulting in the replacement of leucine by phenylalanine this antigen is sensitive to trypsin but resistant to chymotrypsin and endo f lewis antigen the lewis ii lsa ge antigen has insert of nucleotides into entire sequence of exon two subtypes of this antigen are known beta lsa which carries the ge epitope and gamma lsa which carries both the ge and ge epitopes this antigen is also known as the rsa antigen ahonen antigen the ahonen ana antigen was first reported in the antigen is found on glycophorin d this antigen was discovered in a finnish man on may during post operative blood cross matching for an aortic aneurism repair in finland the incidence of this antigen was found to be donors in sweden the incidence was donors the molecular basis for the origin of this antigen lies within exon where a gt substitution in codon base position converts an alanine to a serine residue while this epitope exists within glycophorin c there it is a cryptanitgen it is only antigenic in glycophorin d because of the truncated n terminus others a duplicated exon has erythrocytes also been reported in japanese blood donors new anitgen antibodies antibodies to the gerbich antigens have been associated with transfusion reactions and mild hemolytic disease of the newborn in other studies naturally occurring antige antibodies have been found and appear to be of no clinical significance immunological tolerance towards ge antigen has been suggested other areas high expression of glycophorin c has been associated with a poor prognosis for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in the chinese glycophorin c is the receptor for the protein erythrocyte binding antigen eba of plasmodium falciparum this interaction mediates a principal invasion pathway into the erythrocytes the partial resistance of erythocytes lacking this protein to invasion by p falciparum was

 eboracum was a fort and city in roman britain the settlement evolved into york located in north yorkshire england etymology the first known recorded mention of eboracum by name is dated circa ad and is an address containing the latin form of the settlement s name eburaci on a wooden stylus tablet from the roman fortress of vindolanda in what is now the modern northumberland during the roman period the name was also written in the form eboracum and eburacum the etymology of eboracum is uncertain as the language of the indigenous population of the area was never recorded however the generally accepted view of british history is that the inhabitants of britain at this time spoke a celtic language related to modern welsh this language has been reconstructed from latin place names and modern celtic languages and has been called by scholars common brythonic the name eboracum is thought to have derived from means place of the yew trees the word for yew was probably something like ibura in celtic cf old irish ibar yewtree alder buckthorn alder buckthorn combined with the suffix kon place cf welsh og meaning place of the yew trees cf efrog in welsh eabhrachiubhrach in irish gaelic and eabhrachiobhrach in scottish gaelic by which names the city is known in those languages the name is then thought to have been latinized by replacing acon with acum according to a common use noted in gaul the different vry ivry ivrey ivory in france would all come from eboracum eboriacum f e ivrylabataille eure ebriaco in ivryletemple evriacum in vry essonne origins the roman conquest of britain began in ad but advance beyond the humber did not take place until the early s ad this was because the people in the area known as the brigantes by the romans became a roman client state when their leadership changed becoming more hostile to rome roman general quintus petillius cerialis led the ninth legion north from lincoln across the humber eboracum was founded in ad when cerialis and the ninth legion constructed a military fortress castra on flat ground above the river ouse near its junction with the river foss in the same year cerialis was appointed governor of britain a legion at full strength at that time numbered some men and provided new trading opportunities for enterprising local people who doubtless flocked to eboracum to take advantage of them as a result permanent civilian settlement grew up around the fortress especially on its southeast side civilians also settled on the opposite side of the ouse initially along the main road from eboracum to the southwest streets were laid out public buildings were erected and private houses spread out over terraces on the steep slopes above the river military fortress from its foundation the roman fort of eboracum was aligned on a northeastsoutheast bearing on the north bank of the river ouse it measured pes monetalis m by pes monetalis m and covered an area of acre the standard suit of streets running through the castra is assumed although some evidence exists for the via praetoria via decumana and via sagularis much of the modern understanding of the fortress defences has come from extensive excavations undertake by leslie peter wenham the layout of the fortress also followed the standard for a legionary fortress with wooden buildings inside a square defensive boundary these defences originally consisting of turf ramparts on a green wood foundation were built by the ninth legion between and ad turf front on a new oak foundation and eventually wooden battlements were added which were then replaced by limestone walls and towers the original wooden camp was refurbished by agricola in before being completely rebuilt in stone between and multiple phases of restructuring and rebuilding within the fortress are recorded rebuilding in stone began in the early second century ad under trajan but may have taken as long as the start of the reign of septimius severus to be completed a period of over years estimates suggest that over m sup sup of stone were required largely consisting of magnesian limestone from the quarries nearby the roman settlement of calcaria tadcaster emperors there is evidence that the emperor hadrian visited in on his way north to plan his great walled frontier he certainly brought with him the sixth legion to replace the existing garrison emperor septimius severus visited eboracum in and made it his base for campaigning in scotland the fortress wall was probably reconstructed during his see this work standing almost to full height the imperial court was based in york until at least ad in which year severus died and was succeeded by his sons caracalla and geta in the later rd century the western empire experienced political and economic turmoil and britain was for some time ruled by usurpers independent of rome it was after crushing the last of these that emperor constantius i came to eboracum and in became the second emperor to die there his son constantine was instantly proclaimed as successor by the troops based in the fortress although it took constantine eighteen years to become sole ruler of the empire he may have retained an interest in eboracum and the reconstruction of the southwest front of the fortress with polygonallyfronted interval towers and the two great corner towers one of which the multangular tower still survives is probably his work in the colonia constantine s reign was a time of prosperity and a number of extensive stone town houses of the romans eboracum was the major military base in the north of britain and following the rd century division of the province of britannia the capital of northern britain britannia inferior by eboracum had been made a colonia the highest legal status a roman city could attain one of only four in britain and the others were founded for retired soldiers this mark of imperial favour was probably a recognition of eboracum as the largest town in the north and the capital of britannia inferior at around the same time eboracum became selfgoverning with a council made up of rich locals including merchants and veteran soldiers in britannia inferior was divided into two provinces of equal status with eboracum becoming the provincial capital of britannia secunda culture as a busy port and a provincial capital eboracum was a cosmopolitan city with residents from throughout the roman empire diet substantial evidence for the use of cereal crops and animal husbandry can be found in eboracum on the north bank of the ouse and outside the fortress showed that spelt wheat was the most common cereal grain used at that time followed by barley cattle sheepgoat and pig are the major sources of meat hunting scenes as shown through romanobritish hunt cups suggest that hunting is a popular pastime and diet would be supplemented through the hunting of hare deer and boar a variety of food preparation vessels mortaria have been excavated from the city and large millstones used in the processing of cereals have been found in rural sites outside the colonia at heslington and stamford bridge in terms of the ceremonial use of food dining scenes are used on tombstones to represent an aspirational image of the deceased in the afterlife reclining on a couch and being served food and wine the tombstones of julia velva mantinia maercia and aelia aeliana each depict a dining scene additionally several inhumation burials from trentholme drive contained hen s eggs placed in ceramic urns as grave goods for of roman religious beliefs among the people of eboracum have been found including altars to mars hercules jupiter and fortune in terms of number of references the most popular deities were the spiritual representation genius of eboracum and the mother goddess there is also evidence of local and regional deities evidence showing the worship of eastern deities has also been found during excavations in york for example evidence of the mithras cult which was popular among the military has been found including a sculpture showing mithras slaying a bull and a dedication to arimanius the god of evil in the mithraic tradition the mithraic relief located in mickelgate suggests the location of a temple to mithras right in the heart of the colonia another example is the dedication of a temple to serapis a hellenisticegyptian god by the commander of the sixth legion other known deities from the city include tethys veteris venus silvanus toutatis chnoubis and the imperial numen there unknown when this was first formed and in archaeological terms there is virtually no record of it the first evidence of this community is a document noting the attendance of bishop eborius of eboracum at the council of arles in the episcopal see at eboracum was called eboracensis in latin and bishops from the see also attended the first council of nicaea in the council of sardica and the council of ariminum death and burial the cemeteries of roman york follow the major roman roads out of the settlement excavations in the castle yard next to clifford s tower beneath the railway station at trentholme drive and the mount have located significant evident for human remains using both inhumation and cremation burial rites the cemetery beneath the railway station was subject to excavations in advance of railway works of and several sarcophagi were unearthed during this phase of excavations including those of flavius bellator and julia fortunata inhumation burial in sarcophagi can often include the body variations on this combination exist the gypsum casts when found undisturbed frequently retain a cast impression of the deceased in a textile shroud surviving examples of both adults and children show a selection of textiles used to wrap the body before interment but usually plain woven cloth the high number of sarcophagi from eboracum has provided a large number of these casts in some cases with cloth surviving adhered to the gypsum comparable cemetery sites in roman britain have provided evidence of the use of organic resins made from pine cones being used to seal the cloth shroud an excavation in advance of building work underneath the yorkshire museum in located a male skeleton with significant pathology to suggest that he may have died as a gladiator in eboracum the emperor septimius severus was cremated in eboracum following his death in ad the roman biographer cassius dio records the event and described a scene in which the emperor utters the final words to his two sons on his death bed agree with each other severus was cremated somewhere outside the fortress wall and again cassius dio paints a picture his body arrayed in military garb was placed upon a pyre and as a mark of honour the soldiers and his sons ran about it and as for the soldier s gifts those who had things at hand to offer them put them upon it and his sons applied the fire a hill to the west of the city named severus hill is associated by some antiquarians as the site where this cremation took place but no modern archaeological investigation has so far correlated this claim economy the military presence at eboracum was the driving force behind early developments in its economy in these early stages eboracum operated as a command economy with workshops growing up outside the fortress to supply the needs of the troops garrisoned there production included military pottery until the midrd century military tile kilns have been found in the aldwarkpeasholme green area glassworking at coppergate metalworks and leatherworks producing military eboracum was the major manufacturing centre for whitby jet known as gagates in latin it was used from the early rd century as material for jewelry and was exported from here throughout britain and into europe examples found in york take the form of rings bracelets necklaces and pendants depicting married couples and the medusa there are fewer than jet pendants in the roman world of which six are known from eboracum these are housed in the yorkshire museum roads the true paths of all original roman roads leading out of eboracum are not known although eleven have been suggested the known roads include dere street leading northwest from the city through clifton towards the site of cataractonium modern catterick cade s road towards petuaria modern brough and ermine street towards lindum modern lincoln a road bypassing the south wall wall of the fortress between the fortress and the river is conjectured to run beneath the york museum gardens rivers the river ouse and river foss provided important access points for the importation of heavy goods the existence of two possible wharves on the east bank of the river foss support this idea a large deposit of grain in a timberstructure beneath modern day coney street on the northeast bank of the river ouse suggests the existence of storehouses for moving goods via the river late roman york the decline of roman britain in early fifth century ad led to significant social and economic changes all over britain whilst the latest datable inscription referencing eboracum dates from ad the continuation of the settlement after this time is certain building work in the city continued in the fourth century under constantine and later count theodosius the locally produced crambeck ware pottery arrives in eboracum in the fourth century the most famous form being intricately decorated buffyellow parchment ware painted with bright shades of red the effect of in roman britain a bishop of york named eborius is attested here and several artifacts decorated with chirho symbols are known additionally a small bone plaque from an inhumation grave bore the phrase soror ave vivas in deo hail sister may you live in god changes in the layout of both the fort and colonia occurred in the late fourth century ad suggested as representing a social change in the domestic lives of the military garrison here whereby they may be living in smaller family groups with wives children or other civilians rediscovery of roman york the rediscovery and modern understanding of eboracum began in the th century several prominent figures have been involved in this process martin lister was the first to recognise that the multangular tower was roman in date in a paper with the royal society john horsley s

 another brick in the wall is the title of three songs set to variations of the same basic theme on pink floyd s rock opera the wall subtitled part working title reminiscing part working title education and part working title drugs all parts were written by pink floyd s bassist roger waters part ii is a protest song against rigid schooling in general and boarding schools in the uk in particular it was also released as a single and provided the band s only numberone hit in the united kingdom the united states west germany and many other countries in addition in the us along with the tracks run like hell and do nt leave me now another brick in the wall reached number fiftyseven on the disco chart in the uk it was pink floyd s first single since s point me at the sky the song was also the final numberone floyd received a grammy nomination for best performance by a rock duo or group and lost to bob seger s against the wind in addition part ii was number on rolling stone s list of the greatest songs of all time the single sold over million copies worldwide the single as well as the album the wall were banned in south africa in after the song was adopted by supporters of a nationwide school boycott protesting racial inequities in education under the apartheid regime concept each of the three parts has a similar tune and lyrical structure though not lyrics aside from the all in all refrain and each is louder and more enraged than the one before rising from the sadness of part i to the protesting part ii to the furious part iii part composition part of the song is very quiet dynamically and features a long subdued guitar solo parts and although there is a short sharp rise in dynamics and tone for a brief period towards the end of the lyrical portion sniffing shouting wailing calling and children can be faintly heard in the background the song s beginning coincides with the final chord of the thin ice and the echoing multiguitar solo after the lyrics crossfades into the helicopter and yellingteacher sounds of the happiest days of our lives plot the thin ice discussed during the previous song breaks when pink becomes older and learns of the death of his father pink is devastated by this reality and begins to build the wall film version pink s mother is seen praying in a church after the death of her husband overseas pink however is at this point oblivious of his death and can be seen playing with a toy aeroplane the song continues with pink playing in a public park after his mother leaves him to go shopping he sees a man his own father the man gives pink a lift onto a ride and it s clear pink feels as if this man is his real father pink follows the man s son around copying him but does nt understand why the other boy s father is nt paying attention to him he grabs the man s hand but is shooed away only to grab the man s hand again the man pushes pink away again and dejectedly he sits on a swing which is too far off the ground for him to swing himself he looks over at the other parents swinging their kids feeling even more alone part composition in the album version of the wall another brick in the wall part segues from the happiest days of our lives with roger waters signature scream the song has strong drums a wellknown bass line and distinctive guitar parts in the background with a smooth yet of schoolchildren singing in the second verse as the song ends the sounds of a school yard are heard along with a scots teacher who continues to lord it over the children s lives by shouting wrong do it again and if you do nt eat yer meat you ca nt have any pudding how can you have any pudding if you do nt eat yer meat and you yes you behind the bikesheds stand still laddie all of it dissolving into the dull drone of a phone ringing and ending with a deep sigh school choir producer bob ezrin had immediately recognised the hit potential of this song but it took some manoeuvring behind the band s back until part ii took its eventual form it was ezrin s idea to use a school choir for this song as he explained to guitar world in the most important thing i did for the song was to insist that long which it was when roger wrote it when we played it with the disco drumbeat i said man this is a hit but it s one minute we need two verses and two choruses and they said well you re not bloody getting them we do nt do singles so fuck you so i said okay fine and they left and because of our two tape recorder set up while they were nt around we were able to copy the first verse and chorus take one of the drum fills put them in between and extend the chorus then the question is what do you do with the second verse which is the same and having been the guy who made alice cooper s school s out album griffiths approached music teacher alun renshaw of islington green school around the corner from pink floyd s britannia row studios about the choir though the school received a lump sum payment of sales under a uk copyright law they became eligible for royalties from broadcasts and after royalties agent peter rowan traced choir members through the website friends reunited and other means they lodged a claim for royalties with the performing artists media rights association in disco beat the idea for the disco beat came likewise from ezrin as david gilmour explained in of the final outcome roger waters has commented david gilmour said plot after being insulted by the teacher pink dreams that the kids in his school begin to protest against their abusive teachers the song talks about how he had a personal wall around him from the rest of the world the teachers were just another brick in the wall film version following the happiest days of our lives pink starts to daydream during his class he imagines several students marching in unison to the beat of the song following a path until they enter a steamy tunnel section to reemerge as puttyfaced clones void of individual starting with gilmour s guitar solo the children destroy the school building using hammers foreshadowing the subsequent neofascist nazilike animated sequence with its marching hammers and crowbars creating a bonfire dragging their teacher out of the burning school kicking and screaming while chanting we do nt need no education the song ends with pink rubbing his hand which the teacher slapped with a ruler in the song previously during the song the teacher s meat and pudding lines are folded into the first few lines of the school choir s lines with the instrumental breaks between shortened by a bar in places and are performed by the teacher in the film played by alex mcavoy music video prior to the film the first video for the track directed by albumconcertfilm art designer gerald scarfe depicted students

london skyline was filmed from the top of turnpike house in islington both st lukes church and st clements church the one overlooking the playground are both clearly visible in the shot after the media furore surrounding the song the islington green school head teacher margaret maden refused permission for the children who sang on the song to appear in the video or on top of the pops although at the time they were told it was because they did nt hold equity cards once the film was completed the actual scenes of the happiest days of our lives and another brick in the wall part ii were

 medlineplus the term lordosis refers to the normal inward curvature of the lumbar and cervical regions of the spine excessive or hyperlordosis can happen and lumbar hyperlordosis is commonly referred to as swayback or saddle back a term that originates from the similar condition that arises in some horses this condition can commonly affect dancers a major factor of lordosis is forward pelvic tilt when the pelvis tips forward when resting on top of the thighs curvature in the opposite direction is termed kyphosis cause normal lordotic curvatures also known as secondary curvatures results in a difference in the thickness between the front and back parts of the intervertebral disc lordosis may also increase at puberty sometimes not becoming evident until the early or mids imbalances in muscle strength and length are also a cause such as weak hamstrings or tight hip flexors psoas other health conditions and disorders can cause lordosis achondroplasia a disorder where bones grow abnormally which can result in condition in which vertebrae slip forward and osteoporosis the most common bone disease in which bone density is lost resulting in bone weakness and increased likelihood of fracture are some of the most common causes of lordosis other causes include obesity kyphosis spine curvature disorder in which the thoracic curvature is abnormally rounded discitits an inflammation of the intervertebral disc space caused by infection and benign juvenile lordosis excessive lordotic curvature is also called hyperlordosis hollow back saddle back and swayback common causes of excessive lordosis include tight low back muscles excessive visceral fat and pregnancy although lordosis gives an impression of a stronger back incongruently it can lead to moderate to severe lower back pain rickets a vitamin d deficiency in children can cause lumbar lordosis diagnosis measurement and diagnosis of lumbar lordosis can be difficult obliteration of vertebral endplate landmarks by interbody fusion may make the traditional measurement of segmental lumbar lordosis more difficult because the ll and ls levels are most commonly to normal lumbar lordosis it is helpful to identify a reproducible and accurate means of measuring segmental lordosis at these levels a visible sign of lordosis is an abnormally large arch of the lower back and the person appears to be puffing out his or her stomach and buttocks precise diagnosis of lordosis is done by looking at a complete medical history physical examination and other tests of the patient xrays are used to measure the lumbar curvature bone scans are conducted in order to rule out possible fractures and infections magnetic resonance imaging mri is used to eliminate the possibility of spinal cord or nerve abnormalities and computed tomography scans ct scans are used to get a more detailed image of the bones muscles and organs of the lumbar region treatment lumbar lordosis may be treated by strengthening the hip extensors on the back of the thighs and by stretching the hip flexors on the front of the thighs only the muscles on the front and on the back of the thighs standing position because they can discharge the force on the ground through the legs and feet abdominal muscles and erector spinae ca nt discharge force on an anchor point while standing unless one is holding his hands somewhere hence their function will be to flex or extend the torso not the hip back hyperextensions on a roman chair or inflatable ball will strengthen all the posterior chain and will treat lordosis so too will stiff legged deadlifts and supine hip lifts and any other similar movement strengthening the posterior chain without involving the hip flexors in the front of the thighs abdominal exercises could be avoided altogether if they stimulate too much the psoas and the other hip flexors strengthening of the hip extensors which are on the back of the thighs and optionally stretching of the hip flexors which are on the front of the thighs will be enough to treat a lordosis in quite a short time antiinflammatory pain relievers may be taken as directed for shortterm relief physical therapy effectively kyphosis lordosis and bad posture hypolordosis is more common than hyperlordosis hypolordosis can be corrected nonsurgically through rehabilitation exercises many different techniques exist to accomplish this correction these exercises if done correctly may reduce symptoms in those with the typical presentation in months this type of treatment is typically provided by a chiropractor though some physical therapists offer it as well controversy regarding the degree to which manipulative therapy can help a patient still exists if therapeutic measures reduce symptoms but not the measurable degree of lordotic curvature this could be viewed as a successful outcome of treatment though based solely on subjective data the presence of measurable abnormality does not automatically equate with a level of reported symptoms in animals lordosis can be also seen in animals in particular horses and other equines usually called swayback soft back or low back it is an undesirable conformation trait swayback is caused in part from a loss of muscle tone in both the back and abdominal as in humans it may be influenced by bearing young it is sometimes seen in a broodmare that has had multiple foals however it is also common in older horses whose age leads to loss of muscle tone and stretched ligaments it also occurs due to overuse or injury to the muscles and ligaments from excess work or loads or from premature work placed upon an immature animal equines with too long a back are more prone to the condition than those with a short back but as a longer back is also linked to smoother gaits the trait is sometimes encouraged by selective breeding it has been found to have a hereditary basis in the american saddlebred breed transmitted via a recessive mode of inheritance research into the genetics underlying the condition has several values beyond just the saddlebred breed as it may serve as a model for investigating congenital skeletal deformities in horses and other species other lordosis behavior refers to the position that some mammalian females including cats mice in heat the term is also used to describe mounting behavior in mammalian males in radiology a lordotic view is an xray taken of a patient leaning backwards lordosis in the human spine makes it easier for humans to bring the bulk of their mass over the pelvis this allows

 nationality iranian mohammadali jamlzdeh esfahani january isfahan iran november geneva switzerland was one of the most prominent writers of iran in the th century best known for his unique style of humour in view of his vast influence over persian shortstory writing he is often referred to as the father of this genre in iran biography early years and family sayyed mohammadali jamalzadeh the founder of the persian shortstory genre was born in esfahan into a middleclass family the date of his birth is uncertain years between to have been mentioned and by the end of his life even he himself was not certain of the actual year the year has traditionally been taken as the year of his birth jamalzadeh s father sayyed jamal addin esfahani was a progressive mullah and preacher who became a constitutional revolutionary delivering raging sermons which inspired his son but cost him his life mohammadali shah qajar who considered him among the most dangerous of his enemies living abroad the young jamalzadeh lived in iran only until he was twelve or thirteen thereafter he lived in lebanon where he attended the aintoura catholic school near beirut in france and in switzerland where he studied law at university of lausanne and later at university of burgundy in dijon france after his father s death jamalzadeh s life took a turn for the worse but thanks to many supporting friends and to occasional paid teaching jobs he survived starvation by the time of world war i still in his early age he joined a group of iranian nationalists in berlin and in founded a newspaper rastakhiz for this group in baghdad during this time he also worked for the periodical kveh in he published his first book ganje shayegan the start of the th century ganje shayegan deals with iran s sociopolitical and economic problems a major contribution which bridges the gap between literature and science in the same year he represented the nationalists at the world congress of socialists in stockholm his later years until when he settled in geneva and worked thereafter for the international labour organization were spent in temporary employments such as one at the iranian embassy in berlin during all these years jamalzadeh had very little contact with iran but that did not bar him from learning persian on his own drawing on his scant experiences gained at a young age he wrote about the lives of contemporary iranians his preoccupation with the use of language and his dickensian style of writing including repetitions piling up of adjectives and using popular phrases quickly remind the reader of jamalzadeh s background and of his sincere intentions however his physical distance from the scenes of the events described in his stories somewhat compromises the s major work yeki bud yeki nabud once upon a time published in in berlin did not reach iran until a year later and when it did it was not received favourably the public especially the clergy loathed jamalzadeh s portrayal of their country to the degree that copies of the book were burned in public squares a collection of six short stories yeki bud yeki nabud deals with the social and political conditions in iran around the start of the th century a subject that up to then had been outside the purview of writers and poets in general moreover interwoven with this is a considerable amount of militancy against western interference in iran and an open mockery of religious fanaticism jamalzadeh s simple and colloquial style combined with a measured humour enhanced the impact of his writings making his stories such as yeki bud yeki nabud and farsi shekar ast persian is case this hostile public reaction affected jamalzadeh to the degree that for the next twenty years he refrained from engaging in any literary activities he began writing again in the s but by that time he had lost the dexterity that imparted conciseness novelty of form originality of ideas a biting sense of humor and a tight structure to his earlier stories tautologism a tendency toward using sage remarks making mystical and philosophical speculations and disregard for order became the hallmark of his later writings sahraye mahshar

 meriones unguiculatus the mongolian jird or mongolian gerbil is a rodent belonging to subfamily gerbillinae it is the most widely known species of the gerbil subfamily and is the usual gerbil species to be kept as a pet or experimental animal when it is known as the domesticated gerbil like the syrian or golden hamster it was first brought to the united states in by dr victor schwentker for use in research fortyfour pairs caught originally from mongolia and brought to england they were described as squirrel colors with long furry tails the mongolian gerbil is classed as a prohibited new organism under new zealand s hazardous substances and new organisms act preventing it from being imported into the country origin meriones unguiculatus evolved on the semideserts and steppes of mongolia there they developed long legs for jumping and running from predators teeth to deal with hard seeds and plant matter and water conservation techniques that allow them to survive use dry food or stores of fat to generate metabolic water mongolian gerbils do not have many natural enemies due to the harsh climate most predators are birds of prey or snakes mongolian gerbils are diurnal but return to their burrows for the coldest and hottest parts of the day habitat the species m unguiculatus came originally from mongolia its habitat there is mainly semideserts and steppes soil on the steppes is sandy and is covered with grasses herbs and shrubs the steppes have cool dry winters and hot summers the temperature can get up to c but the average temperature for most of the year is around c in the wild these gerbils live in groups generally consisting of one parental pair the most recent litter and a few older pups only the dominant female will produce pups but she will mate with multiple males while in estrus heat one group of gerbils generally ranges over m acre a group deeper burrows with only one to three exits in their territory may exist these deeper burrows are used to escape from predators when they are too far from the central burrow a group s burrows often interconnect with other groups history the first known mention of gerbils came in by father armand david who sent yellow rats to the museum of natural history muse dhistoire naturelle in paris from northern china they were named meriones unguiculatus by the scientist milneedwards in this scientific name in a combination of greek and modified latin loosely translates as clawed warrior in english partly stemming from the greek warrior meriones in homer s iliad combined with unguiculate meaning to have claws or nails gerbils only became popular pets after when breeding pairs were brought to the united states from eastern mongolia for scientific testing almost all pet gerbils today are descended from these gerbils were brought to the gerbils as pets the mongolian gerbil a gentle and hardy animal has become a popular pet it was first brought from china to paris france in the th century and became a popular house pet it was then brought to the united states in by dr victor schwentker for use in research selective breeding for the pet trade has resulted in a wide range of different color

gerbil is completely white with black eyes some have greyish ear tips and dark claws spotting dominant spotting can be in any coat variety and will lighten the fur around it how the spotting will look depends on modifiers collared a thick unbroken band of spotting around the neck connecting to the white belly collar and blaze a thick unbroken band of spotting around the neck connecting to the white belly and an unbroken white blaze connecting the three spotting areas neck forehead and nose pied the base coat color may be of any standard type except for white there is a thick band of white around the neck and shoulder area to form a collar that is connected to a blazed down the forehead and face the distinguishing feature are small spots on the rump and back area around the spinal area these spots usually do not have clear edges considered a mottled gerbil as long as the spotting pattern conforms to the standard accepted pattern mottled the coat color of the gerbil may be any standard coat color broken by small white patches accompanying a collar and blaze the gerbil may be up to white until it would be considered a variegated gerbil variegated the variegated pattern is when any standard coat color is broken up by small white patches along with a collar and blaze the difference between the variegated spotting form and the mottled spotting form is the amount of white the variegated spotting is an extended form of mottling there is more white on the back and rump allowing less color to show through this can form a dalmatian pattern often the tail tuft and the end of the tail is white or lacking pigment extreme white the extreme white pattern is associated with any standard color except for white here the coat color is white and barely any of the base coat color or concerns circulating about extreme white gerbils head tilts lack of good balance and repetitive running and circling has been reported in these gerbils it has been found that these health concerns mostly affect gerbils with unpigmented light pinknot very opaque ears there are other spotting types any that do nt conform to show standards are usually classed as patched note although some us gerbil owners call some coat varieties fox ie yellow fox the fox gene is not in gerbils and this is therefore incorrect breeding though not much is known about breeding in wild mongolian gerbils we know that they can have as many as pups compared to pet gerbils which can only have the families make sure all young females in their groups leave before that can fall pregnant and kill the mothers newer pups whilst still in the family unit the father or older brothers will mate with younger females these young females have the ability to carry sperm for up to weeks until they are can make a family of their own without the interference of another male who may kill the fathers pups this is why it is nt recommended to keep an older male gerbil with a younger female as a cage mate for a prolonged amount of time

 walmart stores inc branded as walmart has been criticized by many groups and individuals including labor unions and other groups they have protested against walmart the company s policies and business practices including charges of racial and gender discrimination other criticisms include foreign product sourcing treatment of product suppliers environmental practices the use of public subsidies and the company s security policies walmart denies any wrongdoing and says that low prices are the result of efficiency in labor unions created new organizations and websites to criticize the company including wake up walmart united food and commercial workers and walmart watch service employees international union by the end of walmart had launched working families for walmart to counter those groups efforts to counter criticism include a public relations campaign in which included several television commercials the company retained the public relations firm edelman to interact with the press and respond to negative media reports and has started working with bloggers and inviting them to visit walmart s corporate headquarters in november a documentary film critical of walmart walmart the high cost of low price was released on dvd economists at the cato institute say that walmart is successful because it sells products that consumers want at low prices satisfying customers wants and needs walmart s critics say that walmart s lower prices draw customers away from smaller main street businesses hurting local smalltown communities critics also say that walmart is hurting the us economy because of excessive reliance on chinese products walmart is the largest importer in the us in many categories such as electronics and fastmoving consumer goods the book the walmart effect by business journalist charles fishman contains much of the criticism though it also enumerates walmart s positive impacts within society local communities when walmart plans a new store location activists often oppose the new store and attempt to block its construction opponents cite concerns such as traffic congestion bad public relations low wages and benefits and predatory pricing opposition sometimes includes protest marches by competitors informed citizens activists labor unions and religious groups in some instances activists demonstrated their opposition by causing property damage to store buildings or by creating bomb scares some city councils have denied permits to developers planning to include a walmart in their project those who defend walmart cite consumer choice and overall benefits to the economy and object to bringing the issue into the political arena a walmart superstore opened in in mexico miles from the historic teotihuacan archaeological site and pyramid of the moon although the location was supported by mexico s national anthropology institute the united nations and the parisbased international council on monuments and sites there had been protests organized by local merchants as well as environmental groups and antiglobalization groups who opposed the construction poet homero aridjis called the opening as supremely symbolic and like planting the staff of globalization in the heart of ancient mexico altar along with some other artifacts where the store s parking lot is now located in walmart proposed construction of a store west of the intersection of charlotte pike us route and interstate outside nashville tennessee the building site was home to both native american burial grounds and a civil war battlefield protests were mounted by native americans and civil war interest groups but the walmart store was eventually constructed after moving graves and some modifications of the site so as not to interfere with the battlefield civil war relics were discovered at the site the project developers donated land to permit access to the civil war historic site the indian sites were removed and reburied elsewhere in developers demolished the longclosed dixmont state hospital in kilbuck township pennsylvania near pittsburgh with plans to build a shopping complex anchored by a walmart while there were initially no general objections to the walmart store itself many residents did not want to see dixmont demolished despite the fact that the dixmont maintainable condition and teenagers were dangerously trespassing onto the property on a regular basis however while the land was being excavated after the hospital complex was torn down in order to create a plateau for the store to be built upon a landslide occurred covering pennsylvania route and the fort wayne line railroad tracks between pa and the ohio river both routes were shut down for weeks while walmart did stabilize the landslide many residents said that walmart merely stabilized the hillside so that it could continue with work to build the store ultimately in walmart decided against developing the site allowing the land to return to nature with a walmart location to be constructed in nearby economy pennsylvania instead next door to the northern lights shopping center and scheduled for a opening for some time pa remained restricted to one lane northbound near the former dixmont site for safety concerns though the entire roadway had been cleared of debris despite this walmart is the largest retail chain grocery store to locally based giant eagle in addition researchers at the university of south carolina and sam houston state university carried out a study to determine if walmart affects local crime rates the results of the study found that the crime rate in us counties that have walmart stores declined at a much lower rate than the rest of the country since the s allegations of predatory pricing and supplier issues in may walmart s us stores pulled its miley cyrus line of necklaces and bracelets three months after the associated press informed the chain that the jewelry contained harmful amounts of the toxic metal cadmium longterm exposure to cadmium can lead to bone softening and kidney failure it is also a known carcinogen and research suggests that it can affect brain development in the very young cadmium in jewelry is not known to be dangerous if the items are simply worn but concerns come when a child bites or sucks on the jewelry as many children do walmart said that while the jewelry is few younger consumers may seek it out in stores we are removing all of the jewelry from sale while we investigate its compliance with our children s jewelry standard walmart said the tainted jewelry was made at a chinese manufacturer walmart has been accused of selling merchandise at such low costs that competitors have tried to sue it for predatory pricing intentionally selling a product at low cost in order to drive competitors out of the market in in the case of walmart stores inc v american drugs inc pharmacy retailer american drugs accused walmart of selling items at too low a cost for the purpose of injuring competitors and destroying competition the supreme court of arkansas ruled in favor of walmart saying that its pricing including the use of loss leaders was not predatory pricing in the wisconsin department of agriculture trade and consumer protection accused walmart of selling butter milk laundry detergent and other staple goods at low cost with the monopoly in local markets crest foods filed a similar lawsuit in oklahoma accusing walmart of predatory pricing on several of its products in an effort to drive crest foods s own companyowned store in edmond oklahoma out of business both cases were settled out of court in mexico s antitrust agency the federal competition commission investigated walmart for monopolistic practices prompted by charges that the retailer pressured suppliers to sell goods below cost or at prices significantly less than those available to other stores mexican authorities found no wrongdoing on the part of walmart however in germany s high court ruled that walmart s low cost pricing strategy undermined competition and ordered walmart and two other supermarkets to raise their prices walmart won appeal of the ruling then the german supreme court overturned the appeal walmart has since sold its stores in germany walmart has been accused of using monopoly power to force its suppliers into selfdefeating practices for example barry c lynn a senior fellow at the new walmart s constant demand for lower prices caused kraft foods to shut down thirtynine plants to let go of workers and to eliminate a quarter of its products kraft was unable to compete with other suppliers and says the cost of production had gone up due to higher energy and raw material costs lynn says that in a free market kraft could have passed those costs on to its distributors and ultimately consumers for example most walmart store pharmacies fill many generic prescriptions for for a month s supply however in california and ten other states complaints from other pharmacies have resulted in walmart being required to charge at least for a month s supply of certain drugs employee and labor relations with close to million employees worldwide walmart has faced a torrent of lawsuits and issues with regards to its workforce these issues involve low wages poor working conditions inadequate health care as well as issues involving the company s strong antiunion policies critics point to walmart although other factors may be involved approximately of its employees leave within the first year despite the high turnover rate the company still is able to lower unemployment rates a study by oklahoma state university states walmart is found to have substantially lowered the relative unemployment rates of blacks in those counties where it is present but to have had only a limited impact on relative incomes after the influences of other socioeconomic variables were taken into account wages the activist group los angeles alliance for a new economy laane said in walmart reports that fulltime hourly associates received on average an hour laane further calculated that working hours per week an walmart employee earns per year which is roughly twenty percent less than the average retail worker the number of hours the average retail worker worked was not specified the report from laane further opines that this pay is over less than what the average twoperson family needs walmart managers to control payroll costs the wall street journal says this puts extra pressure on higherpaid workers to be more productive walmart insists its wages are generally in line with the current local market in retail labor other critics have noted that in the average wage for a walmart sales clerk was per hour or a year while the federal poverty line for a family of three was walmart founder sam walton once said i pay low wages i can take advantage of that we re going to be successful but the basis is a very lowwage lowbenefit model of employment in august walmart announced that it would roll out an average pay increase of for all new hires at us walmart and sam s club locations but at the same time would institute pay caps on veteran workers while walmart maintains that the measures are necessary to stay competitive critics believe that the salary caps are primarily an effort to push higherpaid veteran workers out of the least million to settle lawsuits claiming that it forced employees to work off the clock several lawyers described it as the largest settlement ever for lawsuits over wage violations because walmart employs parttime and relatively low paid workers some workers may partially qualify for state welfare programs this has led critics to claim that walmart increases the burden on taxpayerfunded services a survey by the state of georgia s subsidized healthcare system peachcare found that walmart was the largest private employer of parents of children enrolled in its program one quarter of the employees of georgia walmarts qualified to enroll their children in the federal subsidized healthcare system medicaid a study at the university of california berkeley charges that walmart s low wages and benefits are insufficient and although decreasing the burden on the social safety net to some extent california taxpayers still pay million a year to walmart employees on september the mexican supreme court of justice ruled that walmart de mexico the mexican subsidiary of walmart only at walmart stores working conditions walmart has also faced accusations involving poor working conditions for its employees for example a class action lawsuit in missouri asserted approximately to people who were forced to work offtheclock were denied overtime pay or were not allowed to take rest and lunch breaks in walmart paid million to settle a classaction suit that asserted that current and former walmart employees in colorado had been forced to work offtheclock the company has also faced similar lawsuits in other states including pennsylvania oregon and minnesota classaction suits were also filed in on behalf of fulltime walmart pharmacists whose base salaries and working hours were reduced as sales declined resulting in the pharmacists being treated like hourly employees walmart has also been accused of ethical problems it is said that the walmart employees are gender discriminated during the hiring process and discriminated against in the work area walmart v dukes was a discrimination case on behalf of more stores across the united states th circuit dr william bliebly who evaluated walmarts employment policies against what social science research shows to be factors that create and sustain bias and those that minimize bias bliebly and he finished by saying the men and women not being created equal in the workforce is what walmart is doing and what they should essentially not be doing on october approximately workers on the morning shift at a walmart super center in hialeah gardens florida walked out in protest against new store policies and rallied outside the store shouting we want justice and criticizing the company s recent policies as inhuman this marks the first time that walmart had faced a workerled revolt of such scale according to both employees and the company reasons for the revolt included cutting fulltime hours a new attendance policy and pay caps that the company imposed in august compelling workers to be available to work any shift day swing or night and and not by local managers walmart quickly held talks with the workers addressing their concerns walmart asserts that its policy permits associates to air grievances without fear of retaliation a report by us representative george miller alleged that in ten percent of walmart s stores nighttime employees were locked inside holding them prisoner there has been some concern that walmart s policy of locking its nighttime employees in the building has been implicated in a longer response time to dealing with various employee emergencies or weather conditions such as hurricanes in florida walmart said this policy was to protect the workers and the store s contents in highcrime areas and acknowledges that some employees were inconvenienced in some instances for up to an hour as they had trouble locating a manager with the key however fire officials confirm that at no time were fire exits locked or employees blocked from escape walmart has advised all stores to ensure the door keys are available on site at all times in january the new york conducted in july which examined one week s timeclock records for roughly employees according to the times the audit pointed to extensive violations of childlabor laws and state regulations requiring time for breaks and meals including instances of minors working too late during school hours or for too many hours in a day there were missed breaks and lost meal times walmarts vice president for communications responded that company auditors had determined that the methodology used by the ny times was flawed and the company did not respond to it in any way internally walmart has been accused of allowing undocumented workers to work in its stores in one case federal investigators say walmart executives knew that contractors were using undocumented workers as they had been helping the federal government with an investigation for the previous three years some critics said that walmart directly hired undocumented workers while walmart says they were employed by contractors who won bids to work for walmart on october federal agents crackdown known as operation rollback resulting in the arrests of nightshift janitors who were undocumented following the arrests a grand jury convened to consider charging walmart executives with labor racketeering crimes for knowingly allowing undocumented workers to work at their stores the workers themselves were employed by agencies walmart contracted with for cleaning services walmart blamed the contractors but federal investigators point to wiretapped conversations showing that executives knew some workers did not have the correct documentation the october raid was not the first time walmart was found using unauthorized workers earlier raids in and resulted in the arrests of workers without documentation located at walmart stores around the country in november alleged undocumented workers were arrested while working on construction of a new walmart distribution center in eastern pennsylvania according to walmart the workers were employees of walmart s construction subcontractor allegations of wrongful termination on january four employees at a walmart in layton utah were confronted by a shoplifter who pulled out a attempt to leave a small closed office the other three employees disarmed and subdued the shoplifter and all four held onto the man until police arrived a week later the four employees were fired for violating a company policy requiring employees to disengage and withdraw from any situation involving a weapon the four fired employees together with two other walmart employees who had been fired after subduing violent customers filed a lawsuit against the company in us federal court in june on july an employee at a walmart in kemptville ontario confronted a customer who had left his dog locked in his truck with the windows rolled up she called police when the customer refused to rectify the situation the employee was fired later the same day reportedly on the grounds of being rude to a customer after rejecting instructions from her manager that such incidents should be reported to the store management rather than directly to the police the national labor relations board nlrb has long had the who engage in concerted activity by speaking with each other regarding conditions wages andor benefits the nlrb has recently stated that this also applies to social media the key point is whether or not the intent appears to be to communicate with fellow employees and walmart s official policy is viewed as acceptable and not overly restrictive in this regard revised in part after consultations with the nrlb however in practice walmart may not always follow such a policy for example a sept article in the atlantic wire reports the case of a year veteran of walmart s paramount california location who started at an hour as an overnight stocker and became a manager in housewares for years i was a model associate he states in he became increasingly involved with our walmart and was fired in may he reports that after he began speaking about labor conditions they started silencing me by holding me to standards that they were nt holding other associates to on me was unsurmountable employees using prescription drugs in november joseph casias a cancer patient with a prescription for marijuana was fired from walmart in battle creek michigan for using medical marijuana walmart spokesman greg rossiter said that walmart policy is to terminate employees who take certain prescription medications and he believed that this policy complied with the law health insurance according to a september survey by the state of georgia one in four children of walmart employees were enrolled in peachcare for kids the state s healthinsurance program for uninsured children compared to the state s secondbiggest employer publix which had one child in the program for every children of employees a december nationwide survey commissioned by walmart showed that the use of publicassistance healthcare programs by children of walmart workers was at a similar rate to other retailers employees and at rates similar to the us population as a whole as of october walmart s health insurance covered or approximately walmart rival and wholesaler costco insures approximately of its workers in walmart spent an average of per employee for health care less than the retailindustry average of when asked why so many walmart workers choose to enroll in state health care plans instead of walmart s own plan walmart ceo lee scott acknowledged that some states benefits may be more generous than walmart s own plan in some of our states the public program may actually be a better value with relatively high income limits to qualify and low premiums critics of walmart say in walmart the high cost of low price that employees are paid so little they can not afford health insurance on october a walmart internal memo sent to the firm s board of directors advised trimming over billion in health care expenses by through measures such as attracting a younger implicitly healthier work force by offering education benefits the memo also suggested giving sedentary walmart staffers such as and eliminating fulltime positions in favor of hiring parttime employees who would be ineligible for the more expensive health insurance and several policy proposals which may violate the americans with disabilities act of the memo also accused walmart s lower paid employees of abusing emergency room visits possibly due to their prior experience with programs such as medicaid whereas such visits may actually be due to the reduced ability of uninsured or underinsured people to make timely appointments to see a regular physician critics point to this internal memo as evidence that walmart purports to be generous with its employee benefits while in reality the company is working to cut such benefits by reducing the number of fulltime and longterm employees and discouraging supposedly unhealthy people from working at walmart on january the maryland legislature enacted a law requiring that all corporations with more than employees in the state spend at least eight percent of their payroll on employee benefits or pay into a state fund for the uninsured walmart with about employees in this requirement before the bill passed on july the maryland law was overturned in federal court by a us district judge who held that a federal law the employee retirement income security act erisa preempted the maryland law the judge said the law would hurt walmart by imposing the administrative burden of tracking benefits in maryland differently than in other states similar legislation in wisconsin days later was defeated in the state legislature on april walmart announced it was making a health care plan available to parttime workers after one year of service instead of the prior twoyear requirement one criticism of the new plan is that it provides benefit only after a deductible is paid for a family these deductibles may financially be out of reach for eligible parttime workers walmart estimates this change can add workers to health coverage plans if all who are eligible take part by january the number of workers enrolled in the company s health care introduction of less expensive insurance policies however even with this increase less than half of walmart s employees or received health insurance through the company with or receiving no coverage at all in march walmart sued a former walmart employee deborah shank to recover the money it spent for her health care after she was braindamaged restricted to a wheelchair and nursing homebound after her minivan was hit by a truck walmart sued the former employee for after she received a settlement from the accident citing that company policy forbids employees from receiving coverage if they also win a settlement in a lawsuit after a wave of bad publicity walmart dropped its suit new fulltime walmart associates must work at least six months before being eligible to purchase the company s primary health insurance in walmart stopped providing health insurance for parttime employees working under hours per week in health insurance benefits will not be available to employees who labor and health care observed that the change will shift the burden of providing health care for walmart employees to the federal government as eligibility for medicaid has been expanded under the patient protection and affordable care act ppaca or aca an analysis of walmart s health plans as compared to plans offered in the aca s health insurance marketplaces found that walmart s plans have larger networks of providers than most plans in the marketplaces and that gross premiums before accounting for tax credits are less expensive under walmart s plans labor union opposition walmart has been criticized for its policies against labor unions critics blame workers reluctance to join the labor union on walmart antiunion tactics such as managerial surveillance and preemptive closures of stores or departments who choose to unionize walmart states that it is not antiunion but proassociate arguing that its employees do not need to pay third parties to discuss problems with management as the company s opendoor policy enables employees to lodge complaints and submit suggestions all the way up founder sam walton resisted a unionization push by the retail clerks international union in two small missouri towns by hiring a professional union buster to conduct an antiunion campaign on the union buster s advice walton also took steps to show his workers on how the company had their best interests in mind encouraging them to air concerns with managers and implementing a profitsharing program a few years later walmart hired a consulting firm alpha associates to develop a union avoidance program in meat cutters in jacksonville texas voted to unionize and walmart subsequently eliminated inhouse meatcutting jobs in favor of prepackaged meats on the claims that it cut costs and was a preventive measure to lawsuits walmart said that the nationwide closing of instore meat packaging had been planned for many years and was not related to the unionization in june a national labor relations board judge ordered walmart to restore the meat department to its prior structure complete with meatcutting and to recognize and bargain with the union over the effects of policies also extend beyond the united states the documentary walmart the high cost of low price shows one successful unionization of a walmart store in jonquire quebec canada in but walmart closed the store five months later because the company did not approve of the new business plan a union would require in september the qubec labor board ruled that the closing of a walmart store amounted to a reprisal against unionized workers and has ordered additional hearings on possible compensation for the employees though it offered no details in march walmart executive tom coughlin was forced to resign from its board of directors facing charges of embezzlement coughlin said that the money was used for an antiunion project involving cash bribes paid to employees of the united food and commercial workers union in exchange for a list of names of walmart employees that had signed union cards he also said that the money was unofficially paid to him by walmart as compensation for his antiunion efforts money merchandise and gift cards from walmart but avoided prison time due to his poor health he was sentenced to five years probation and required to pay a fine and in restitution to walmart and the internal revenue service a us attorney has stated that no evidence was found to back up coughlin s initial claims and walmart continues to deny the existence of the antiunion program though coughlin himself apparently restated those claims to reporters after his conviction for walmart has also had some runins with the german verdi labor union as well these issues combined with cultural differences and low performing stores led walmart to pull out of the german market entirely in in august walmart announced that it would allow workers at all of its chinese stores to become members of trade unions and that the company would work with the statesanctioned allchina federation of trade unions acftu on representation for its staff however the allchina federation of trade unions has been criticized because it tool of the government acftu has been seen as not acting in the best interest of its members workers bowing to the government pressure on industry growth and not defending workers rights in november the united food amp commercial workers joined with several walmart workers with a plan to go on strike on black friday at several stores nationwide in protest to low pay an increase in health insurance premiums and not being given the option to have the day off or having thanksgiving off walmart has countered this by saying that the strike is illegal due to the union not being sanctioned by the company and that the striking workers are a small minority of the company s workforce with the vast majority of workers willing and ready to work the retail industry s busiest day of the year many of the states where the ufcw plans to go on strike with the walmart employees have atwill employment laws protecting the company in may walmart employees associated with a unionbacked labor group called will be the first prolonged strikes in walmart s history for thanksgiving cnn estimates that approximately a million us walmart employees will work over the course of the holiday with big specials starting at pm on thanksgiving day the company states that employees will receive a nice thanksgiving dinner at work extra holiday pay and discount off one purchase regardless of how many items are purchased at that time according to the cleveland plain dealer the extra holiday pay equals the average daily shift the employee worked during the previous two weeks as far as price specials walmart is expanding its onehour guarantee from three items last year to twentyone items this year this means that a customer standing in line for such an item between pm or from pm will be guaranteed to get it at that price some point before christmas poorlyrun and understaffed stores in a january article in the harvard business review zeynep group at mit s sloan school of management states that in response to reductions in sales walmart often understaffs in kneejerk fashion labor is seen as a cost driver rather than a sales driver managers do nt have much direct control over sales almost never making decisions on merchandise mix layout price or promotions but managers do have control and are evaluated regarding whether they meet weekly or monthly targets for payroll as a percentage of sales at times these pressures have been such that walmart managers previously pressured employees to work off the clock as counter examples of companies which both invest in their employees and are price leaders in their fields prof ton cites quiktrip convenience stores mercadona and trader joes supermarkets and costco wholesale clubs in february walmart received an american customer satisfaction index rating of as compared to for target placing walmart last for the year among retail and department stores according to bloomberg news this marks the sixth year in last according to a march bloomberg news article during the last five years walmart added us stores for a increase during this same period its overall us employees including sam s clubs employees went down ever so slightly at which translates to a reduction of employees in wisconsin an employee who oversees grocery deliveries and who is a member of our walmart reports that the store is a long way from the previous mantra of in the door and to the floor instead merchandise ready for the sales floor remains on pallets and in steel bins in the back of the store with no passable aisles prof zeynep ton states that companies can get in a downward spiral where too few labor hours lead to operational problems and lower sales and these reduced sales then become a rationale to reduce labor hours even further it requires a wakeup call at a higher level she said a customer who is a retired accountant from delaware states that the cosmetics section looked company selfdestruct but there are other places to go a customer in california states you wait minutes for someone to help you then the person was not trained on mixing paint it was like you have to help them help you an april new york times article cites supermarket news that walmart s grocery prices are usually about percent cheaper than competitors at the start of the company had an average of employees for each walmart and sam s club store in the united states and by april this had reduced to an average of employees per store terrie ellerbee associate editor of grocery publication the shelby report traced the problem to when walmart reduced the number of different merchandise items carried in an attempt to make stores less cluttered customers did not like this change and walmart added the merchandise back but did not add employees back an includes photographs of walmart shelves which are only partially stocked primarily in health and beauty products one employee is quoted as saying as soon as we get a full crew we start to lose people through them quitting or being fired management seems to wait until we need or people then we get a rash of new hires and another employee is quoted as saying they make the rest of us work faster and harder saying the task manager system which is basically a pointofsale system telling them how long it should take us to do our job says we should be done already or were taking too long an april article in time business amp money reported that some walmart stores have cut labor hours so much that they were having trouble physically moving merchandise from the back onto stores shelves however even with these problems walmart was performing better than target in the measure of retail turnover turning over its entire inventory walmart states it has to instock but given inventory levels in us stores even this means the company could be foregoing billion to billion in potential sales the article s author writes that no amount of computer wizardry will eliminate the need for human beings to also move merchandise onto shelves the author further writes that walmart s whole business model is based on reducing the carrying costs of unsold merchandise and any speed bump along the line adds back costs frontend managers are supposed to open another register any time there are more than three customers in line but these employees have to come from some other part of the store and the night crew may or may not be able to catch up in sept bloomberg businessweek reported that walmart will be offering parttime employees fulltime jobs and will be offering another temporary employees permanent parttime positions walmart will also be looking to hire seasonal employees for the upcoming holiday season this compares to this number does conflict with the jobs cut from the above bloomberg news of march for thanksgiving specials walmart included twentyone items which included a onehour guarantee where customers would pay at that time and then go online to arrange delivery to a store of their choice by christmas in february a local nbc affiliate in troy alabama united states showed photographs of empty shelves and aired customer complaints with one customer stating and merchandise when you do nt have any salt on the shelf no matter what brand that s pretty bad regarding the cleanliness and repair of restrooms another customer stated the bathrooms they have things that are broken in there and instead of fixing the problem they have a trash bag taped over it and it smells horrible the reporter who was taking photographs was approached by three persons who identified themselves as managers and escorted out of the store within hours perhaps motivated by the s corporate office sent additional employees from neighboring stores to this store imports and globalization as a large customer to most of its vendors walmart openly uses its bargaining power to bring lower prices to attract its customers the company negotiates lower prices from vendors for certain basic products walmart has a clear policy that prices go down from year to year if a vendor does not keep prices competitive with other suppliers they risk having their brand removed from walmart s shelves in favor of a lowerpriced competitor critics say that this pressures vendors to shift manufacturing jobs to china and other nations where the cost of labor is less expensive while sam walton was alive walmart had a buy american campaign but it was exposed shortly after he died that signs saying buy american were on bins of asian made products yet by about of walmart s merchandise was imported compared to in although others estimated the percentage was from the beginning in if it were an individual economy the company would rank as china s eighth largest trading partner ahead of russia australia and canada one group estimates that the growing us trade deficit with china heavily influenced by walmart imports is estimated to have moved over million jobs that might otherwise be in america to china between and according to the american federation of labor and congress of industrial organizations aflcio walmart is the single largest importer of foreignproduced goods in the united states their biggest trading partner is china and their trade with china alone constitutes approximately of the total us trade deficit with china overseas labor concerns walmart has been criticized for not providing adequate supervision of its foreign suppliers it has also been criticized for using sweatshops and prison labor in chinese dissident harry wu charged that walmart was contracting prison labor in guangdong province walmart said it did not use prison labor there have also been reports of teenagers in bangladesh working for walmart supplier beximco the documentary film walmart the high cost of low price shows images of walmart goodsproducing factories in poor condition and factory workers subject to abuse and conditions that the documentary producers considered inhumane walmart points out that wages paid to overseas workers are comparable to or exceed local prevailing wages the company says that the overseas manufacturing jobs it creates are often an improvement in the quality of life for its employees they have also drawn attention to the fact that factory jobs with its suppliers are often safer and healthier than local alternatives which may include prostitution the drug trade or scavenging walmart currently uses monitoring which critics say is inadequate and leaves outsiders unable to verify conditions since walmart will not release its audits or factory names outside organizations are expected to simply accept walmart s claims as fact critics suggest an agency such as social accountability international or the fair labor association should do the monitoring in walmart began working with business for to reach out to groups active in monitoring overseas plants in june walmart was excluded from the investment portfolio of the government pension fund of norway which held stock values of about million in the company due to a social audit into alleged labor rights violations in walmart operations in the united states canada latin america africa and asia although walmart did not respond to questions from the fund s auditors it later said the decision does not appear to be based on complete information on november a fire in a bangladesh clothing factory resulted in the death of workers survivors said that fire extinguishers did not work an exit door was locked and that when the fire alarm went off bosses told workers to return to their sewing machines victims were trapped or jumped to their deaths from the eightstory building which had no fire escapes or exits initially walmart said it could not confirm that it had ever sourced apparel from the factory present in the factory after the fire walmart later said that a supplier had subcontracted work to the factory in direct violation of our policies however on december documents revealed that at least five supplier companies had been using the bangladesh factory to provide apparel for walmart and its subsidiary sams club during the past year it was also disclosed in a november new york times article that officials who had attended a bangladesh meeting to discuss factory safety in the garment industry said that the walmart official there had played the lead role in blocking an effort to have global retailers pay more for apparel to help bangladesh factories improve their electrical and fire safety building collapse at savar on april an eightstory commercial building named rana plaza collapsed in savar a subdistrict near dhaka the capital of bangladesh at least people died and over were injured the building housed a number of separate garment factories employing around people several shops and a bank and manufactured joe fresh the children s place primark monsoon and dressbarn of the brands identified as having sourced products from the rana plaza factories only attended meetings held in november to agree on a proposal on compensation to the victims several companies refused to sign including walmart carrefour bonmarch mango auchan and kik the agreement was signed by primark loblaw bonmarche and el corte ingles after the savar building collapse walmart became a founding member of the alliance for bangladesh worker safety allegations of bribery and coverup in mexico in the new york times reported that walmart had been made aware eight years earlier that executives of walmart mxico its subsidiary in that country had paid millions of dollars in bribes to local officials to expedite permits for construction and operation of its many stores in that country the company had opened many stores in mexico in the late s and early s attempting to widely establish itself before competitors responsible for obtaining those permits and was bitter about being passed over for the position of general counsel with walmart mxico provided the company s corporate general counsel s office with evidence showing that the company had made large payments to gestores workers who deal with bureaucracies on behalf of citizens and businesses with coded indications that the money was being passed on to officials to expedite permits company officials hired a veteran fbi agent to conduct a preliminary inquiry instead of hiring an outside law firm as it usually did for major inquiries such as a similar one in which found that walmart mxico had been helping highvolume customers evade that country s sales taxes the special investigative team found evidence corroborating almost all of cicero s allegations and evidence suggesting that the bribery had been even more extensive including million in donations to local politicians and their organizations they recommended opening a full investigation and possibly notifying the justice department as it appeared that both mexican law and the us foreign corrupt slavery in thailand in the guardian reported that walmart is client of charoen pokphand foods during months the guardian traced down the whole chain from slave ships in asian waters to leading producers and retailers product selection walmart s product selection has been criticized by some groups in the past primarily as viewed as a promotion of a particular ideology or as a response to its original rural religious and conservative target market in walmart removed certain men s magazines from its shelves such as maxim fhm and stuff citing customer complaints regarding their racy content later that year it decided to partly obscure the covers of cosmopolitan marie claire and redbook on store shelves due to customer concerns and refused to stock an issue of sports illustrated s swimsuit special because it objected to one photograph it has also refused to sell controversial cover depicting the rock doused with fire since walmart also has not carried music albums marked with the recording industry association of america s riaa s parental advisory label contradictory to the allowance of rrated movies and video games rated mature although it carries edited versions of such albums with obscenities removed or overdubbed with less offensive lyrics in one example in walmart rejected the original cover of country singer willie nelson s reggae album countryman which featured marijuana leaves in an apparent promarijuana statement to satisfy walmart the record label lost highway records issued the album with an alternative cover without recalling the original cover walmart has never carried marilyn manson albums solely because of the controversy surrounding the group but recently began selling nine inch nails albums after rejecting them for years in fact some albums that do not carry parental advisory stickers include profanities and are not edited such albums include pink floyd s monkeys whatever people say i am that s what i m not in green day refused to make an edited version of their album st century breakdown for walmart with frontman billie joe armstrong claiming you feel like you re in or something thus the album is not carried by walmart stores however walmart s policy on carrying albums with the parental advisory label seems to vary by country as albums containing the label can be found in canadian walmart stores for example in walmart announced that it would not stock emergency contraception pills in its pharmacies not citing any particular reasons except for a business decision that was made earlier the move was criticized by family planning advocates citing that women in small towns where walmart pharmacies had little competition would have greater difficulties in obtaining the drug the decision was challenged in as three massachusetts women filed suit against the company after they were unable to purchase emergency contraception at their local walmart stores drug in all of its pharmacies in massachusetts expecting that other states would soon do the same walmart reversed its policy and announced that it would begin to stock the drug nationwide while at the same time maintaining its conscientious objection policy allowing any walmart pharmacy employee who does not feel comfortable dispensing a prescription to refer customers to another pharmacy walmart has also been criticized for selling some controversial products for example in walmart carried the antisemitic hoax the protocols of the elders of zion in its online catalogue the jewish civil rights organization antidefamation league wrote to the president of walmart on september noting the text has been the major weapon in the arsenals of antisemites around the world and called on walmart to unequivocally state the nature of the book and to disassociate itself from any endorsement of it walmart stopped selling the book shortly thereafter in october walmart canceled its order for the daily show s america the book us supreme court judge nude a week later it returned copies of comedian george carlin s when will jesus bring the pork chops with a cover recreating the last supper with jesus seat empty and carlin seated next to it the company said that the copies were shipped to it by mistake and a walmart spokeswoman said she did not believe this particular product would appeal to its customer base in january walmart was criticized for the recommendation system on its website which suggested that some blackrelated dvds such as introducing dorothy dandridge and documentaries on baptist minister and civil rights leader martin luther king jr were similar to the planet of the apes television series dvd box set it quickly corrected the page saying that it was a software glitch but ultimately blamed the matter on human error a december report published by the environmental investigation agency a nongovernmental agency revealed that some furniture sold at walmart was made habitats for siberian tigers and other wildlife this led the company to investigate its suppliers and promise to eliminate products made from illegal wood by they also joined the global forest amp trade network an organization that is dedicated to eliminating illegal logging taxes until the mids walmart took out corporateowned life insurance policies on its employees including lowlevel employees such as janitors cashiers and stockers this type of insurance is usually purchased to cover a company against financial loss when a highranking employee ie management dies and is usually known as key man insurance critics derided walmart as buying what they called dead peasants insurance or janitor insurance critics as well as the us internal revenue service charge that the company was trying to profit from the deaths of its employees and take advantage of the tax law which allowed it to deduct the premiums the practice was stopped in the mids when the federal government closed the tax deduction and began to pursue walmart for back taxes of walmart something wallmart this way comes walmarting

the antitreaty ira during the irish civil war public life his grandfather john moore had been appointed president of the short lived republic of connacht in the rebellion by general humbert at castlebar the independent irish party was damaged by weak leaders and by the lack of support its received from the roman catholic church charles gavan duffy left in despair and went to australia frederick lucas proved an ineffective leader while his successor george henry moore its new leader having got elected in his mayo uk parliament constituency the party split into oblivion members of the group participated in the meeting of mps in which agreed to support the second palmerston government and which is often regarded as the formal foundation of the liberal party moore contested aggressively against john sadleir and william keogh former allies and friends whom he disowned in elections upon many occasions in various constituencies wherever they presented themselves and at some expense after the two abandoned their principles and party to take british government positions within the irish administration during the irish potato famine moore purchased livestock for his tenants cows were given to many and much grain was imported in bulk and he encouraged tenants to grow alternative crops to the potato none of his tenants starved nor were any evicted full remission for any tenant paying per year and remission for those paying under per annum were ordered in june a vessel the martha washington was requisitioned by moore the marquess of sligo and sir robert lynchblosse the ship was laden with mayo the cargo distributed among their tenants at a combined loss of d as the famine got worse moore gave grazing lands to the people and placed others directly under his care on his own estate at moore hall speaking out in parliament for the irish in the famine moore declared that disaster followed every scheme that lord trevelyan originated also at a meeting in partry again against the advice of his mother he denounced angrily the idea that a few wandering fanatics and vagabond emissaries from england could extinguish the catholic church with indian meal and soup during the food for conversion schemes that followed in the footsteps of the famine he was chairman of two famine relief committees one at ballintubber and secondly at partry both areas full of destitute people who benefited from his donations by the end of the famine moore and likeminded landowners were broke bankruptcy followed but moore was able to buy back large tracts of his land he had fought two scurrilous treatment of tenants and his character moore was a keen hunter and horse racer noted for his well trained stud of hunters of reckless courage with which he rode them around galway known as dog moore after his well known horse wolfdog he set up a series of wagers at race meetings including the grand national tuam and ballinrobe his winnings offset against betting against his own horses netted him around by today s reckoning and these funds helped greatly feed his tenantry he rode tinderbox in the grand national falling at the th his own brother augustus with whom he recklessly hunted was killed at the aintree grand national while riding mickey free the sire of fenian winner of the belmont stakes in and this was said to be the turning point in george s life whereby george gave himself completely to the benefit of the people of his estates his other famous steeds were coranna winner of the chester cup in whose portrait with coranna george sent to his tenantry for famine reliefcroaghpatrick was the winner of the stewards cup at goodwood in a more unusual horse was faugh a ballaghan exarmy steed of the royal irish fusiliers with whom moore wagered heavily with a rather wretched looking mule with knock knees it was able to clear high walls with little effort from a dawdling run up much to the amazement of everyone who witnessed it his own greatest personal feat as a jockey was to win the new melton stakes at cahir on land owned by the marquis of waterford at ronscar moore won on a shelly looking customer the bay gelding anonymous this was said to be one of the greatest races ever run in ireland and the jumps included high and tall stone walls the race was talked about for years after both this horse and the don another steeplechaser were killed soon after the former at worcester racecourse in march and the latter at the kings county offaly familiar blue birdseye jacket again moore swore not to have anything to do with horseracing again after the death of these two beloved mounts but the promise never held moore also helped in the organisation the construction of a monastery on lough mask near tourmakeady beneath the mountain tournasala with the cooperation of archbishop machale and the local firebrand of ballinrobe the reverend peter conway in his youth george had been a worry to his parents least of all because of his gambling habits and a failure to conclude a formal private education preferring to pursue an alternative education in billiards at which he became expert and all the fun that the cities of bath and london had to offer a young georgianera male however moore hall was a teetotal manor so drinking at least was off limits as the moore family never partook of alcohol he was a writer of very frank open letters to friends of his mother and his enemies of which he gathered many owing to high temperament lady friends telling them exactly what he thought in his youth he had travelled the arab world including syria moore attempted at least to challenge to a duelling at least two men in his youth local landowner joe mr mac dhonnaill of doo or dubh castle for insulting george moore senior and ogorman mahon who later became a parliamentary member with the irish party and the oldest member of the house in his day both perhaps wisely declined though the latter later fought in latin america moore was a member of the fenian brotherhood but was a strong advocate of friendship with the orange lodge among visitors to moorehall in mayo were odonovan rossa and john oconnor power the representative for connacht on the supreme council of the irish republican brotherhood he died on april at moore hall he was succeeded by his brotherinlaw george ekins browne his oration was read by the land league priest father lavelle and his coffin borne to carnacon church by of his tenants mass the interment took place at kiltoom notes references

first patrol september october setting out from pearl harbor on september for her first war patrol the submarine prowled the waters south of honsh the largest and most important of japan s home islands she remained below during daylight hours and came up after dark to get a better view as she recharged her batteries and filled up with fresh air on the night of september trepang spotted a fast convoy departing tokyo bay the submarine gave chase and closed in on a group of ships which included two large tankers a small freighter and an escort the submarine fired an overlapping spread of torpedoes which struck the freighter ton takunan maru and sent her to the bottom on october consisted of a pair of tankers and a single escort although the submarine claimed a kill a postwar assessment of the action did not credit her with a sinking the following day the error was reversed the submarine launched four torpedoes at another japanese ship and her commanding officer recorded that all of the fish had missed this time however postwar accounting credited trepang with the destruction of the ton transport number on october the submarine cruised some mi southwest of the entrance to tokyo bay soon after she came to the surface and her radar swept the surrounding seas four pips showed themselves on the phosphorescent screentwo large and two smallwhich were identified as two battleships and two destroyers despite the fact that the phosphorescent waters would make his submarine stand out starkly in the night davenport closed at flank speed and fired a full spread of six torpedoes the fish sped through the water toward their targets he claimed success up the night davenport turned the submarine to present her stern tubes to the enemy and loosed four more torpedoes these all missed davenport s gallant and skillfully pressed attacks earned him his fourth navy cross he felt that he had damaged a and had sunk a destroyer but a study of japanese records after the war did not verify either claim her supply of torpedoes exhausted trepang cleared the area and headed for the marshall islands she reached majuro on october for voyage repairs alongside submarine tender and brief training second patrol november december on november trepang got underway for the philippine islands leading a wolfpack which also included sister ships and the wolfpack s nickname was roy s rangers as trepang s own commanding officer roy m davenport was the officer in charge of the pack the weather was dark windy and rough on december as trepang s conning tower off luzon while shifting course toward deeper water she detected a group of ships approaching from the northward upon closing to investigate trepang counted seven large ships and three escorts in the convoy which slowly approached the philippines trepang radioed news of her find to her packmaster and then submerged the submarine shot straight and true sending freighter banshu maru number and cargo ship jinyo maru to the bottom in quick succession and damaging a third vessel fukuyo maru however as trepang came about to administer the coup de grace to fukuyo maru the third cargo ship obligingly blew up and sank meanwhile as segundo and razorback arrived on the scene trepang fired all of her remaining torpedoes at a fourth ship which she reported blew up and sank soon thereafter however in the meantime the other two american submarines were trying to finish off the fleeing remnants of the shattered convoy and managed to sink two ships one with the aid of american naval aircraft trepang now out of torpedoes sped back to pearl harbor arriving before christmas following this war patrol davenport one of the most highly decorated submariners of the war left trepang for shore duty as an instructor at the united states naval academy third patrol january march again sailing for honsh trepang now under cmdr allen r faustteamed up with submarines and known as mac s mops on an antipicket boat sweep past nanp islands the eastern island chain south of tokyo to clear the sea lanes for the aircraft carriers of task force which in turn was about to strike the japanese home islands to neutralize them during the assault on the strategic island of iwo jima trepang had to settle for performing lifeguard duty for aircraft carrier assaults on tokyo on february the submarine sank the ton freighter usuki maru and blew the bow off another small coastal vessel while maneuvering to finish off the crippled ship several antisubmarine vessels appeared on the scene from behind a nearby headland and converged on the fleet boat trepang dove deep as the japanese subjected her to a sevenhour depth charge barrage on march trepang attacked and sank ton picket boat tsukiura maru converted bonito amp tunny fishing boat off torishima fourth patrol april may following her return to guam in march trepang headed for the yellow sea a hazardous duty area due to its vast stretches of shallow water despite the danger the submarine performed well bagging the ton landing craft transport number on april the ton heavilyladen freighter minesweeper number which blew skyhigh with a hit on her magazine on may in addition the submarine surfaced to shell a junk with a load of lumber the sole member of this victim s crew a korean understood little sign language and looked to be of little value for intelligence purposes so he was put back on board his barely seaworthy craft with tools and food and sent on his way leaving the yellow sea trepang did a short tour of lifeguarding for b mitchell strikes on shanghai china and for the continuing series of b superfortress raids on tokyo before she returned to guam fifth patrol june july trepang s fifth war patrol was divided into two partsthe first saw the ship operating in a lifeguard capacity while the second gave her a more offensive role off northeastern honsh and eastern hokkaid in the former role she arrived on station to the southeast of tokyo trepang s men expected a series of long dull days spent moving in circles squares or triangles to break the monotony however shortly before noon on her first day lookouts spotted a blossoming parachute overhead and soon saw the splash of a crashed p mustang fighter damaged while escorting superfortresses to tokyo trepang bent on full power and soon picked up the downed aviator second

to the slaughter of seals and decided upon joint action with the united states in prosecuting the poachers about schooners large and small made up the sealing fleet typically armed with doublebarrelled shotguns for killing the animals and winchester rifles for dealing with any humans who attempted to interfere the fact that the great majority of seals killed had been female still with young in many casesalmost doubled the toll of slain seals as evans noted the slaughter in the north pacific was fearful arriving at port townsend washington on april yorktown put to sea on may arriving at iliuliuk unalaska one week later coaling there the gunboat skirted the ice floes near the seal rookeries of the pribilof islands reconnoitering the vicinity for sealers assisted by a revenue cutter yorktown guarded the passes to the bering sea the crews of the patrolling american ships lacked fresh provisions but carried on in spite of the hardships imposed by proved abundant codfish was the staple with an occasional gourmet treat of salmon telescopic gunsight besides the patrols made during this deployment in northwestern waters yorktown conducted routine operations such as target practices among the officers assigned to the ship at that time was lt bradley fiske a young officer who had invented and constructed a practical telescopic gunsight fiske s sight had been tested in baltimore and had favorably impressed that ship s officersincluding her commander captain winfeld s schley evans however had not taken a liking to fiske s newfangled gadget but nevertheless consented to allow a second test on board yorktown the first one had failed miserably on the afternoon of september during scheduled target practice fiske s invention worked as designed and elicited praise from evans as fiske himself later wrote in the united states naval institute s magazine proceedings modern naval gunnery had its birth not in the british in yorktown yorktown continued her task of patrolling until september when she departed unalaska for the mare island navy yard from to october the ship underwent repairs there before proceeding on to the east coast via cape horn yorktown eventually arrived at norfolk virginia on february after repairs at the new york navy yard from april to july yorktown retraced her route south and sailed again around cape horn back into the pacific she then moved north to resume patrolling the bering sea she protected seal rookeries into before returning to mare island for repairs which lasted into midseptember on september yorktown sailed for the western pacific and duty on the asiatic station sailing via honolulu she reached yokohama japan on december and spent the next three years under the command of commander charles stockton touching at the principal portsofcall along early in the autumn of and made port at mare island on november subsequently laid up at mare island and decommissioned on december the gunboat remained inactive there through the spanishamerican war in recommissioned on november with commander charles s sperry in command yorktown sailed again for the far east on january rumors of german machinations in samoa lengthened yorktown s stay at hawaii from a few days to a few weeks but when the anticipated trouble failed to materialize yorktown resumed her voyage to the philippine islands on february she arrived at cavite navy yard near manila where patrolled to prevent gunrunners thought to be supplying guns and ammunition to the insurrectos filipinos fighting for independence at one point rumors flew concerning possible german gunrunning activities and yorktown patrolled off the entrance to subic bay and from thence to lingayen to keep work over the next three years cooperating with the army transporting and convoying troops and patrolling wide areas of often badly charted waters upon occasion yorktown served as mother ship to smaller gunboats providing officers and men to staff the smaller patrol craft ensigns william harrison standley and harry e yarnell both future admirals and future naval historian and archivist dudley wright knox were among the junior officers who served in yorktown during this time philippineamerican war during the philippineamerican war yorktown stood in to baler bay on the west coast of luzon on april on a mission to relieve a spanish garrison that had been under siege by filipino troops for nine months lt james c gillmore and a party of sailors in the ship s whaleboat provided a decoy ostensibly taking soundings of a nearby river meanwhile standley and an enlisted man landed farther up the coast to reconnoiter the next day gillmore aground too far from the river s mouth and out of sight of yorktown filipino troops hidden in the junglecovered banks raked the boat with rifle fire two american sailors were killed two were mortally wounded and the remainder including gillmore were slightly wounded the survivors were taken prisoner until freed by us army troops standley completed his mission and together with the enlisted signalman made it back to the ship boxer rebellion in the situation in china worsened until it culminated in the boxer rebellion the following spring yorktown was withdrawn from her patrol duties in the northern philippines to provide assistance to the operations off the coast of north china she departed manila on april bound for china and after she reached the mainland her landing force served ashore at taku in addition marines from yorktown participated in the actions at tientsin between june and july under the june she continued to support the china relief expedition forces in june she assisted back off a reef near that chinese port the gunboat departed shanghai on september and reached cavite on the th in the philippines she resumed her cooperation with army forces still engaged in pacification operations and continued these duties for the next two years in between pacification missions she performed survey work at guam in november and at dumanquillas bay philippines in february in april yorktown s coxswain joseph quick rescued a shipmate from drowning while the ship was in port at yokohama japan for his efforts quick was awarded a peacetime medal of honor yorktown departed the far east in early and returned to mare island on june two weeks later on the th

 embryoid bodies ebs are threedimensional aggregates of pluripotent stem cells the pluripotent cell types that comprise embryoid bodies include embryonic stem cells escs derived from the blastocyst stage of embryos from mouse mesc primate and human hesc sources additionally ebs can be formed from embryonic stem cells derived through alternative techniques including somatic cell nuclear transfer or the reprogramming of somatic cells to yield induced pluripotent stem cells ips similar to escs cultured in monolayer formats escs within embryoid bodies undergo differentiation and cell specification along the three germ lineages endoderm ectoderm and mesoderm which comprise all somatic cell types in contrast to monolayer cultures however the spheroid structures that are formed when escs aggregate enables the nonadherent culture of ebs in suspension making eb cultures inherently scalable which is useful for bioprocessing approaches whereby large yields of cells can be produced for potential clinical applications additionally although ebs largely exhibit heterogeneous patterns of differentiated cell types escs are therefore the threedimensional structure including the establishment of complex cell adhesions and paracrine signaling within the eb microenvironment enables differentiation and morphogenesis which yields microtissues that are similar to native tissue structures such microtissues are promising to directly or indirectly repair damaged or diseased tissue in regenerative medicine applications as well as for in vitro testing in the pharmaceutical industry and as a model of embryonic development formation of ebs ebs are formed by the homophilic binding of the ca dependent adhesion molecule ecadherin which is highly expressed on undifferentiated escs when cultured as single cells in the absence of antidifferentiation factors escs spontaneously aggregate to form ebs such spontaneous formation is often accomplished in bulk suspension cultures whereby the dish is coated with nonadhesive materials such as agar or hydrophilic polymers to promote the preferential adhesion between single cells rather than to the culture substrate as hesc undergo apoptosis when cultured as single cells eb formation often necessitates the use of inhibitors of the rho associated kinase rock pathway thiazovivintzv alternatively to avoid dissociation into single cells ebs can be formed from hescs by manual separation of adherent colonies or regions of colonies and subsequently cultured in suspension formation of ebs in suspension is amenable to the formation of large quantities of ebs but provides little control over the size of the resulting aggregates often leading to large irregularly shaped ebs as an alternative the hydrodynamic forces imparted in mixed culture platforms increase the homogeneity of eb sizes when escs are inoculated within bulk suspensions formation of ebs can also be more precisely controlled by the inoculation of known cell densities within single drops l suspended from the lid of a petri dish known as hanging drops while this method enables control of eb size by altering the number of cells per drop the formation of hanging drops is laborintensive and not easily amenable to scalable cultures additionally the media can not be easily exchanged within the traditional hanging drop format necessitating the transfer of hanging drops into individual ebs tend to agglomerate recently new technologies have been developed to enable media exchange within a modified hanging drop format in addition technologies have also been developed to physically separate cells by forced aggregation of escs within individual wells or confined on adhesive substrates which enables increased throughput controlled formation of ebs ultimately the methods used for eb formation may impact the heterogeneity of eb populations in terms of aggregation kinetics eb size and yield as well as differentiation trajectories differentiation within ebs within the context of esc differentiation protocols eb formation is often used as a method for initiating spontaneous differentiation toward the three germ lineages eb differentiation begins with the specification of the exterior cells toward the primitive endoderm phenotype the cells at the exterior then deposit extracellular matrix ecm containing collagen iv and laminin similar to the composition and structure of basement membrane in response to the ecm deposition ebs often form a cystic cavity whereby the cells in contact with the basement resulting in a fluidfilled cavity surrounded by cells subsequent differentiation proceeds to form derivatives of the three germ lineages in the absence of supplements the default differentiation of escs is largely toward ectoderm and subsequent neural lineages however alternative media compositions including the use of fetal bovine serum as well as defined growth factor additives have been developed to promote the differentiation toward mesoderm and endoderm lineages as a result of the threedimensional eb structure complex morphogenesis occurs during eb differentiation including the appearance of both epithelial and mesenchymallike cell populations as well as the appearance of markers associated with the epithelialmesenchymal transition emt additionally the inductive effects resulting from signaling between cell populations in ebs results in spatially and temporally defined changes which promote complex morphogenesis tissuelike structures are often exhibited within ebs including the appearance of blood islands reminiscent of early blood vessel structures in the developing embryo as well as the patterning of neurite extensions indicative of neuron organization and spontaneous contractile activity indicative substrates such as gelatin more recently complex structures including optic cuplike structures were created in vitro resulting from eb differentiation parallels with embryonic development much of the research central to embryonic stem cell differentiation and morphogenesis is derived from studies in developmental biology and mammalian embryogenesis for example immediately after the blastocyst stage of development from which escs are derived the embryo undergoes gastrulation whereby cell specification of the inner cell mass results in the formation of the visceral endoderm and epiblast as the anteriorposterior axis is formed the embryo develops a transient structure known as the primitive streak much of the spatial patterning that occurs during the formation and migration of the primitive streak results from the secretion of agonists and antagonists by various cell populations including the growth factors from the wnt and transforming growth factor tgf families lefty nodal as well as repressors of the same molecules dkk sfrp sfrp due to the similarities between embryogenesis and esc differentiation differentiation approaches challenges to directing differentiation in ebs in contrast to the differentiation of escs in monolayer cultures whereby the addition of soluble morphogens and the extracellular microenvironment can be precisely and homogeneously controlled the threedimensional structure of ebs poses challenges to directed differentiation for example the visceral endoderm population which forms the exterior of ebs creates an exterior shell consisting of tightly connected epitheliallike cells as well as a dense ecm due to such physical restrictions in combination with eb size transport limitations occur within ebs creating gradients of morphogens metabolites and nutrients it has been estimated that oxygen transport is limited in cell aggregates larger than approximately m in diameter however the development of such gradients are also impacted by molecule size and cell uptake rates therefore the delivery of morphogens to ebs results in increased heterogeneity and decreased efficiency of differentiated cell populations compared to monolayer cultures one method of addressing transport limitations within ebs has been through polymeric delivery of morphogens from within the eb microtissues and subsequently assembled into larger structures for tissue engineering applications although the complexity resulting from the threedimensional adhesions and signaling may recapitulate more native tissue structures it also creates challenges for understanding the relative contributions of mechanical chemical and physical signals to the resulting cell phenotypes and morphogenesis impact of ethics and policy on eb research escs are the subject of much public debate due to the ethical questions arising from the derivation from blastocyststage of development necessitating the destruction of the embryo although much early eb research was conducted using escs derived from mouse sources cell lines derived from human sources are necessary to fulfill the clinical promise of escs while current us regulations initiated by the executive order of president barack obama in allow federal funding for hesc lines that are approved by the national institutes of health nih the derivation of new hesc lines using federal funding is prohibited by the dickeywicker amendment however due to the association of eb research with escs the long term outcomes of eb policy changes ebs however are amenable to the use of alternative pluripotent cell sources such as ips cells which holds promise for future applications in threedimensional stem cell differentiation

 peter john collins november ampndash august was a formula one driver from england he participated in world championship grands prix debuting on may he won races achieved podiums and scored a total of championship points early life and racing career peter collins was born on november he grew up in mustow green on the south side of kidderminster in worcestershire united kingdom the son of a motor garage owner and haulage merchant collins became interested in motor vehicles at a young age at he was expelled from school after having been caught riding dodgem cars at a local fairground during school hours becoming an apprentice in his fathers garage he soon began competing in local trials races in common with many british drivers of the immediate postwar period collins cut his racing teeth in the frenetic cc category adopted as formula at the end of when his parents bought these small machines powered by motorcycle engines were also the proving ground of many of collins f contemporaries notably including stirling moss later career collins joined the aston martin sports car team in and scored a sensational victory at the goodwood nine hours race the following year he took the aston martin dbs he shared with pat griffith to victory in the tourist trophy at dundrod collins got his formula one break in driving for the lowly hwm team replacing stirling moss results did not come the team s way and collins left after the season following spells driving for vanwall and maserati together with a brief outing in a brm which ended with a crash in qualifying collins signed with ferrari for the f season collins season with ferrari proved to be a turning point with a solid second place finish behind moss at monaco and wins at the belgian and french grands prix indeed collins was on the he handed his lanciaferrari d over to team leader juan manuel fangio after the latter suffered a steeringarm failure toward the end of the italian grand prix at monza collins eventually finished second but the advantage handed to moss and the extra points gained by fangio s finish demoted collins to third place in the championship collins selfless act gained him respect from enzo ferrari and high praise from fangio i was moved almost to tears by the gesture peter was one of the finest and greatest gentlemen i ever met in my racing career in collins moved to monaco in order to avoid compulsory military service in the british army and thus continue his racing career in january collins married american actress louise king and the couple took up residence on a yacht in monaco harbour the same year collins was joined at ferrari by mike hawthorn the two became very close friends even arranging to split their winnings between each other and together engaged in a fierce rivalry with fellow ferrari at the nrburgring ferrari were distinctly underpar for much of the season as the model an evolution of the lancia d was overweight and underpowered saw the introduction of the new and improved ferrari dino and once again results began to go the way of scuderia ferrari although achieving few results in the first half of the season collins improved and won the non championship international trophy however enzo ferrari felt collins was distracted by his supposed playboy lifestyle the monaco yacht where he lived was considered a perpetual party by ferrari who thought collins was distracted and no longer focused on driving and developing sports cars collins was sacked by ferrari after deliberately wrecking the clutch in his car that he shared with mike hawthorn during the le mans hours rather than race in a rainstorm and was found drinking in a pub in england before the end of the race ferrari relented and allowed collins to drive an f car until the end of the season perhaps hoping to pacify hawthorn at rheims hawthorn refused to start unless collins was allowed to start in a f car he did and finished fifth ferrari immediately sacked collins again hawthorn responded by flying to italy and storming ferrari headquarters in modena having smashed down locked doors mike hawthorn told enzo ferrari he would never drive another race for him unless collins was given his formula one seat again ferrari perhaps sensibly relented at silverstone during the british grand prix collins responded with perhaps his greatest drive under team orders and his own wish to help his friend hawthorn win the championship collins led from the start running flat out and more at in an effort to break the mossdriven vanwall and in an inferior car to the main protagonists driving on the limit for laps gradually pulling away from moss until his vanwall expired and collins won the ferrari team management decided not to slow collins down and flag hawthorn through to the win after collins great drive stirling s future patron found collins drive frightening and he should never drive like that again it was his third and final career victory that season he also took a third place at monaco death during the german grand prix at the nrburgring whilst chasing tony brooks vanwall disaster struck pushing hard to keep pace collins went into the pflanzgarten section of the circuit entered a turn too quickly causing his ferrari to run wide and strike a ditch on the left side of the road collins lost control and flipped into the air and landed upside down though collins was thrown clear as the car somersaulted he struck a tree sustaining critical head injuries despite being taken to hospital collins died later that afternoon his death was

an fai cup win in before moving to derry city winning a league title in dykes then moved to donegal based outfit finn harps playing there for three seasons and was also for playermanager gavin dykes resigned as playermanager of at the time the club in which he requested more money to strengthen the squad but was told that further cutbacks were required with the club already in real financial difficulty dykes resigned as manager and as a player at a time when the club were second from bottom of the eircom league premier division the club s situation worsened when the players at the club requested that they be placed on the transfer list on his arrival to station road gavin dykes established himself as a fan favourite and can probably lay claim to being the inspiration behind the first chant from the kildare supporters we love you dykesy cos youve got grey hair we love you dykesy cos your everywhere dykes further proved his popularity amongst kildare supporters when he picked up the first ever kildare county supporters club player of the month in october a serious back injury led to dykes retiring from playing in after almost eircom league games he was then installed as assistant manager to dermot keely gavin dykes became the new manager of dermot keely dykes resigned on may shaking hands with his players in the dressing room before leavibg derry city with the club at the time lying two points off the bottom of the eircom premier division it was ironic that dykes s reign ended against drogheda united as drogheda united were also the opposition that dykes had faced in his first game in charge gavin dykes was also assistant manager at newry town for two years he holds a uefa a licence and is currently manager of castlebar celtic and was named mayo manager

however and he took over dublin city in leading the club to the premier division gill resigned the following season however after a poor start in the league and a subsequent defeat by division one outfit monaghan united in the second round of the fai cup gill did not reenter football management until the second half of the season with athlone town he moved to dundalk the following season leading the club to second in division one under normal circumstances the club would have entered a playoff with the premier division team who had finished in second last position that season however the league was undergoing a reformation at the time and despite fulfilling this fixture and beating waterford united the club were not allowed to enter the premier division due to the failure of the club to meet other criteria gill has remained in charge for the season and end of the season he guided dundalk to the first division title in the season the decisive game was ironically played at kildare county with dundalk requiring a win and limerick drawing or defeating title rivals and dermot keeley managed shelbounre john gills manager at kildare county in their maiden season while dundalk won it was nt until the very end of the game that the dundalk faithful could celebrate as shelbourne had been leading in their fixture until the closing stages conceding a late equaliser he resigned from dundalk shortly afterwards eric hannigan eric hannigan was appointed kildare county s new manager after the departure of dermot keely and gavin dykes in hannigan who is from kildare was

 the history of the jews of france deals with the jews and jewish communities in france there has been a jewish presence in france since at least the early middle ages france was once a center of jewish learning but persecution increased as the middle ages wore on france was the first country in europe to emancipate its jewish population during the french revolution but despite legal equality antisemitism remained an issue as illustrated in the dreyfus affair of the late th century france has the largest jewish population by country today french jews are mostly sephardi and mizrahi who came from north africa and the mediterranean region and span a range of religious affiliations from the ultraorthodox haredi communities to the large segment of jews who are entirely secular romangallic epoch according to the jewish encyclopedia the first settlements of jews in europe are obscure from bce there is evidence of jews in rome in the year ce there were jews at vienne and gallia lyon further documents indicating the presence of jews in france before the fourth century are as yet unknown hilary of poitiers died is praised for having fled from the jewish society a decree of the emperors theodosius ii and valentinian iii addressed to amatius prefect of gaul july prohibited jews and pagans from practising law and from holding public offices militandi in order that christians should not be in subjection to them and thus be incited to change their faith at the funeral of hilary bishop of arles in jews and christians mingled in crowds and wept while the former sang psalms in hebrew from the year the church took official cognizance of the jews jews were found in marseille in the sixth century at arles at uzs at narbonne at clermontferrand at orlans at paris and at bordeaux these places were generally centers of roman administration located on the great commercial routes and theodosian code and according to an edict addressed in to the decurions of cologne by the emperor constantine the internal organization of the jews seems to have been the same as in the roman empire they appear to have had priests rabbis or azzanim archisynagogues patersynagogues and other synagogue officials the jews were principally merchants they were also taxcollectors sailors and physicians they probably remained under the roman law until the triumph of christianity with the status established by caracalla on a footing of equality with their fellow citizens the emperor constantius compelled them to share in the curia a heavy burden imposed on citizens of townships there is nothing to show that their association with their fellow citizens was not of an amicable nature even after the establishment of christianity in gaul it is known that the christian clergy participated in their feasts intermarriage between jews and christians sometimes occurred the jews made proselytes and their religious customs were so freely adopted that was found necessary to warn the faithful against jewish superstitions and to order them to abstain from traveling on sunday and from adorning their persons or dwellings on that day in the th century a jewish community thrived in paris a synagogue was built on the ile de la cite but was later torn down and a church was erected instead in king dagobert proposed to drive from his domains all jews who would not accept christianity from his reign to that of pepin the short no further mention of the jews is found but in the south of france which was then known as septimania and was a dependency of the visigothic kings of spain the jews continued to dwell and to prosper from this epoch dates the earliest known jewish inscription relating to france that of narbonne the jews of narbonne chiefly merchants were popular among the people who often rebelled against the visigothic kings carolingian period the presence of jews in france under charlemagne is exchanges with the orient strongly declined with the presence of saracens in the mediterranean sea while oriental products such as gold silk black pepper or papyrus almost disappeared under the carolingians the only real link between the orient and occident was insured by the radhanites jewish traders a formula for the jewish oath was fixed by charlemagne and jews were allowed to enter into lawsuits with christians and in their relations with the latter were restrained only from making them work on sunday jews were not allowed to trade in currency wine or grain legally jews belonged to the emperor and could only be tried by him among the numerous provincial councils which met during charlemagne s reign not one concerned itself with the jewish community although these had increased in number louis le dbonnaire faithful to the principles of his father granted strict protection to jews to whom he gave special attention in their position as merchants jews were engaged in export trade an instance of go to palestine and bring back precious merchandise furthermore when the normans disembarked on the coast of narbonnese gaul they were taken for jewish merchants they boast says one authority of buying whatever they please from bishops and abbots isaac the jew who was sent by charlemagne in with two ambassadors to harun alrashid the fifth abbasid caliph was probably one of these merchants in the same spirit as in the abovementioned legends he is represented as asking the baghdad calif for a rabbi to instruct the jews whom he had allowed to settle at narbonne see history of the jews in babylonia middle ages expert july persecutions under the capets there were widespread persecutions of jews in france beginning in or these persecutions instigated by robert ii king of france called the pious are described in a hebrew pamphlet which also states that the king of france conspired with his vassals to destroy baptism and many were put to death or killed themselves robert is credited with advocating forced conversions of local jewry as well as mob violence against jews who refused among the martyrs was the learned rabbi senior robert the pious is well known for his lack of religious toleration and for the hatred which he bore toward heretics it was robert who reinstated the roman imperial custom of burning heretics at the stake in normandy under richard ii duke of normandy rouen jewry suffered from persecutions that were so terrible that many women in order to escape the fury of the mob jumped into the river and drowned a notable of the town jacob b jekuthiel a talmudic scholar sought to intercede with pope john xviii to stop the persecutions in lorraine jacob undertook the journey to rome but was imprisoned with his wife and four sons by duke richard and escaped death only by a miracle he left his eldest son judah as a hostage sons went to rome he made a present of seven gold marks and two hundred pounds to the pope who thereupon sent a special envoy to king robert ordering him to stop the persecutions if adhmar of chabannes who wrote in is to be believed he had a reputation as a fabricator the antijewish feelings arose in after western jews addressed a letter to their eastern coreligionists warning them of a military movement against the saracens according to admar christians urged by pope sergius iv were shocked by the destruction by the muslims in of the church of the holy sepulcher after the destruction european reaction to the rumor of the letter was of shock and dismay cluniac monk rodulfus glaber blamed the jews for the destruction in that year alduin bishop of limoges bishop offered the jews of his diocese the choice between baptism and exile for a month theologians held disputations with the jews but without much success for only three or four of the rest either fled or were expelled from limoges similar expulsions took place in other french towns by rodulfus glaber knew more concerning this story according to his explanation jews of orlans had sent to the east through a beggar a letter which provoked the order for the destruction of the church of the holy sepulcher glaber adds that on the discovery of the crime the expulsion of the jews was everywhere decreed some were driven out of the cities others were put to death while some killed themselves only a few remained in all the roman world count paul riant says that this whole story of the relations between the jews and the mohammedans is only one of those popular legends with which the chronicles of the time abound another violent commotion arose about at this date pope alexander ii wrote to branger viscount of narbonne and to guifred bishop of the city praising them for having prevented the massacre of the jews in their district the shedding of blood in also alexander admonished landulf vi of benevento that the conversion of jews is not to be obtained by force also in the same year alexander called for a crusade against the moors in spain these crusaders killed without mercy all the jews whom they met on their route francojewish literature during this period which continues until the first crusade also saw the awakening of jewish culture in the south and north of france the initial interest included poetry which was at times purely liturgical but which more often was a simple scholastic exercise without aspiration destined rather to amuse and instruct than to move following this came biblical exegesis the simple interpretation of the text with neither daring nor depth reflecting a complete faith in traditional interpretation and based by preference upon the midrashim despite their fantastic character finally and above all their attention was occupied with the talmud and its commentaries the text of the geonim particularly their responsa was first revised and copied then these writings were treated as a corpus juris and were commented upon and studied both as a pious exercise in dialectics and from the practical point of view there was no philosophy no natural science no belleslettres among the french jews of this period rashi the great jewish figure which dominated the second half of the th century as well as the whole rabbinical history of france was rabbi rashi rabbi shlomo yitzchaki of troyes he personified the genius of northern french judaism its devoted attachment to tradition its untroubled faith its piety ardent but free from mysticism his works are distinguished by their clarity directness and are written in a simple concise unaffected style suited to his subject his commentary on the talmud which was the product of colossal labor and by its clarity and soundness made easy the study of that vast compilation and soon become its indispensable complement every edition of the talmud that was ever published has this commentary printed on the same page of the talmud itself his commentary on the bible particularly on the pentateuch a sort of repertory of the midrash served for edification but also advanced the taste for seeking the plain and true meaning of the bible the school which he founded at troyes his birthplace after having followed the teachings of those of worms germany the crusades the jews of france suffered during the first crusade when the crusaders are stated for example to have shut up the jews of rouen in a church and to have murdered them without distinction of age or sex sparing only those who accepted baptism according to a hebrew document the jews throughout france were at that time in great fear and wrote to their brothers in the rhine to fast and pray in the rhineland thousands of jews were killed by the crusaders see german crusade expulsions and returns expulsion from france the first crusade led to nearly a century of accusations blood libel against the jews many of whom were burned or attacked in france immediately after the coronation of philip augustus on march the king ordered the jews arrested on a saturday in all their synagogues and despoiled of their money and their investments in the following april he published an edict of expulsion but according the jews a delay of three months for the sale of their personal property immovable property however such as houses fields vines barns and winepresses he confiscated the jews attempted to win over the nobles to their side but in vain in july they were compelled to leave the royal domains of france and not the whole kingdom their synagogues were converted fill the royal coffers the goods confiscated by the king were at once converted into cash during the century which terminated so disastrously for the jews their condition was not altogether bad especially if compared with that of their brethren in germany thus may be explained the remarkable intellectual activity which existed among them the attraction which it exercised over the jews of other countries and the numerous works produced in those days the impulse given by rashi to study did not cease with his death his successorsthe members of his family first among thembrilliantly continued his work research moved within the same limits as in the preceding century and dealt mainly with the talmud rabbinical jurisprudence and biblical exegesis recalled by philip augustus this century which opened with the return of the jews to france proper then reduced almost to the isle of france closed with their complete exile from the country in a larger sense in july philip augustus contrary to the general expectation paris and made the churches of god suffer great persecutions rigord the king adopted this measure from no good will toward the jews for he had shown his true sentiments a short time before in the bray affair but since then he had learned that the jews could be an excellent source of income from a fiscal point of view especially as moneylenders not only did he recall them to his estates but he gave state sanction by his ordinances to their operations in banking and pawnbroking he placed their business under control determined the legal rate of interest and obliged them to have seals affixed to all their deeds naturally this trade was taxed and the affixing of the royal seal was paid for by the jews henceforward there was in the treasury a special account called produit des juifs and the receipts from this source increased continually at the same time it was to the interest of the treasury to secure possession of the jews considered as a fiscal resource the royal domain just at a time when the charters becoming wider and wider tended to bring about the disappearance of serfdom in certain respects their position became even harder than that of serfs for the latter could in certain cases appeal to custom and were often protected by the church but there was no custom to which the jews might appeal and the church laid them under its ban the kings and the lords said my jews just as they said my lands and they disposed in like manner of the one and of the other the lords imitated the king they endeavored to have the jews considered an inalienable dependence of their fiefs and to establish the usage that if a jew domiciled in one barony passed into another the lord of his former domicil should have the right to seize his possessions this agreement was made in between the king and the count of champagne in a treaty the terms of which provided that neither should retain in his domains the jews of that the jews should not make loans or receive pledges without the express permission of the king and the count other lords made similar conventions with the king thenceforth they too had a revenue known as the produit des juifs comprising the taille or annual quitrent the legal fees for the writs necessitated by the jews law trials and the seal duty a thoroughly characteristic feature of this fiscal policy is that the bishops according to the agreement of regulating the spheres of ecclesiastical and seigniorial jurisdiction continued to prohibit the clergy from excommunicating those who sold goods to the jews or who bought from them the practice of retention treaties spread throughout france after lords intending to impose a heavy tax captio literally capture on jews living in their lordship dominium signed treaties with their neighbours whereby the latter refused to permit the former s jews entry into his domains thus retaining them for the lord to flight of jews in the face of a captio to a different dominium where they purchased the right to settle unmolested by gifts bribes to their new lord in may the crown negotiated a series of treaties with the neighbours of the royal demesne and successfully captured its jews with a large tax levy from on however the count palatine of champagne refused to sign any such treaties and in that year even refused to affirm the crown s asserted right to force nonretention policies on its barons such treaties became obsolete after louis ix s ordinance of melun when it became illegal for a jew migrate between lordships this ordinancethe first piece of public legislation in france since carolingian timesalso declared it treason to refuse nonretention under louis viii louis viii of france in his etablissement sur les juifs of while more inspired with the doctrines of the church than his father philip augustus his treasury although he declared that from november the interest on jews debts should no longer hold good he at the same time ordered that the capital should be repaid to the jews in three years and that the debts due the jews should be inscribed and placed under the control of their lords the lords then collected the debts for the jews doubtless receiving a commission louis furthermore ordered that the special seal for jewish deeds should be abolished and replaced by the ordinary one twentysix barons accepted louis viii s new measures but theobald iv the powerful count of champagne did not since he had an agreement with the jews that guaranteed their safety in return for extra income through taxation champagne s capital at troyes was where rashi had lived a century before and champagne continued to have a prosperous jewish population theobald iv would become a major opposition force to capetian dominance and his hostility was manifest during the reign of louis viii for example the minimum service of days and left home amid charges of treachery under louis ix in spite of all these restrictions designed to restrain if not to suppress money lending louis ix of france with his ardent piety and his submission to the church unreservedly condemned loans at interest he was less amenable than philip augustus to fiscal considerations despite former conventions in an assembly held at melun in december he compelled several lords to sign an agreement not to authorize jews to make any loan no one in the whole kingdom was allowed to detain a jew belonging to another and each lord might recover a jew who belonged to him just as he might his own serf tanquam proprium servum wherever he might find him and however long a period had elapsed since the jew had settled elsewhere at the same time the ordinance of was enacted afresh which only proves that it had not been carried into effect jews in louis freed his subjects from a third of their registered debts to jews including those who had already paid their debts but debtors had to pay the remaining twothirds within a specified time it was also forbidden to imprison christians or to sell their real estate to recover debts owed to jews the king wished in this way to strike a deadly blow at usury in louis ordered at the urging of pope gregory ix the burning in paris of some manuscript copies of the talmud and other jewish books in order to finance his first crusade louis ordered the expulsion of all jews engaged in usury and the confiscation of their property for use in his crusade but the order for the expulsion was only partly enforced if at all louis left for the seventh crusade in however he did not cancel the debts owed by christians later louis became consciencestricken and overcome by scruples he feared lest the treasury by might be enriched with the product of usury as a result onethird of the debts was forgiven but the other twothirds was to be remitted to the royal treasury in while louis was in captivity on the crusade a popular movement rose up with the intention of traveling to the east to rescue him although they never made it out of northern france jews were subject to their attacks as they wandered throughout the country see shepherds crusade in or ordonnances i wishing as he says to provide for his safety of soul and peace of conscience louis issued a mandate for the restitution in his name of the amount of usurious interest which had been collected on the confiscated property the restitution to be made either to those who had paid it or to their heirs later after having discussed the subject with his soninlaw thibaut king of navarre and count of champagne louis decided on september to which followed close upon this last shows that on this occasion also louis reconsidered the matter nevertheless at the request of paul christian pablo christiani he compelled the jews under penalty of a fine to wear at all times the rouelle or badge decreed by the fourth lateran council in this consisted of a piece of red felt or cloth cut in the form of a wheel four fingers in circumference which had to be attached to the outer garment at the chest and back the medieval inquisition the inquisition which had been instituted in order to suppress the heresy of the albigenses finally occupied itself with the jews of southern france who converted to christianity the popes complained that not only were baptized jews returning to their former faith but that christians also were being converted to judaism in march gregory x formulated the following rules relapsed jews as well as christians who abjured their faith in favor the inquisitors as heretics the instigators of such apostasies as those who received or defended the guilty ones were to be punished in the same way as the delinquents in accordance with these rules the jews of toulouse who had buried a christian convert in their cemetery were brought before the inquisition in for trial with their rabbi isaac males being condemned to the stake philip the fair as mentioned above at first ordered his seneschals not to imprison any jews at the instance of the inquisitors but in he rescinded this order the great exile of toward the middle of the treasury was nearly empty and the king as he was about to do the following year in the case of the templars condemned the jews to banishment and took forcible possession of their property real and personal their houses lands and movable goods were sold at auction and for the king were reserved any treasures found buried in the the fair intended merely to fill the gap in his treasury and was not at all concerned about the wellbeing of his subjects is shown by the fact that he put himself in the place of the jewish moneylenders and exacted from their christian debtors the payment of their debts which they themselves had to declare furthermore three months before the sale of the property of the jews the king took measures to ensure that this event should be coincident with the prohibition of clipped money in order that those who purchased the goods should have to pay in undebased coin finally fearing that the jews might have hidden some of their treasures he declared that onefifth of any amount found should be paid to the discoverer it was on july the day after tisha bav a jewish fast day that the jews were arrested in prison they received notice that they had been sentenced to exile that abandoning their goods and debts and taking only the clothes which sous tournois each they would have to quit the kingdom within one month speaking of this exile an american rabbi has said in striking at the jews philip the fair at the same time dried up one of the most fruitful sources of the financial commercial and industrial prosperity of his kingdom although the history of the jews of france in a way began its course again a short time afterward it may be said that in reality it ceased at this date it was specially sad for them that during the preceding century the domaine of the list of french monarchs return of the jews to france nine years had hardly passed since the expulsion of when louis x of france recalled the jews in an edict dated july he permitted them to return for a period of twelve years authorizing them to establish themselves in the cities in which they had lived before their banishment the people geoffrey of paris the popular poet of the time says in fact that the jews were gentle in comparison with the christians who had taken their place and who had flayed their debtors alive if the jews had remained the country would have been happier for there were no longer any moneylenders at all bouquet xxii the king probably had the interests of his treasury also in view the profits of the former confiscations had gone into the treasury and by recalling the jews for only twelve years he would have an opportunity for ransoming them at the end of this period it appears that they gave the sum of livres for the privilege of returning it is also probable as adolphe vuitry states that a large number of the debts owing to the jews had not been recovered and that the holders of the notes had preserved them the decree of return specified that twothirds of the old debts recovered by the jews they were allowed to settle in the land are set forth in a number of articles some of the guaranties which were accorded the jews had probably been demanded by them and been paid for they were to live by the work of their hands or to sell merchandise of a good quality they were to wear the circular badge and not discuss religion with laymen they were not to be molested either with regard to the chattels they had carried away at the time of their banishment or with regard to the loans which they had made since then or in general with regard to anything which had happened in the past their synagogues and their cemeteries were to be restored to them on condition that they would refund their value or if these could not be restored the king would give them the necessary sites at a reasonable price the books of the law that had not yet been returned to them were also to be restored with the exception of the talmud after might not expel the jews again without giving them a year s time in which to dispose of their property and carry away their goods they were not to lend on usury and no one was to be forced by the king or his officers to repay to them usurious loans if they engaged in pawnbroking they were not to take more than two deniers in the pound a week they were to lend only on pledges two men with the title auditors of the jews were entrusted with the execution of this ordinance and were to take cognizance of all claims that might arise in connection with goods belonging to the jews which had been sold before the expulsion for less than half of what was regarded as a fair price the king finally declared that he took the jews under his special protection and that he desired to have their persons and property protected from all violence injury and oppression expulsion of on september charles vi also known as charles declared in substance that for a long time he had been taking note of the many complaints provoked by the excesses and misdemeanors which the jews committed against christians and that the prosecutors having made several investigations had discovered many violations by the jews of the agreement they had made with him therefore he decreed as an irrevocable law and statute that thenceforth no jew should dwell in his domains ordonnances vii according to the religieux de st denis the king signed this decree at the instance of the queen chron de charles vi ii the decree was not immediately enforced a respite being granted to the jews in order that they might sell their property and pay their debts those indebted to them were enjoined to redeem their obligations within a set time otherwise their pledges held in pawn were to be sold by the jews the provost was to escort the jews to the frontier of the kingdom subsequently the king released the christians from discovered of a jewish presence in provence since at least the st century the earliest documentary evidence for the presence of jews dates from the middle of the th century in arles the jewish presence reached a peak in when it probably numbered about provence was not incorporated into france until and the expulsion edict of did not apply there the privileges of the jews of provence were confirmed in however from antijewish disturbances broke out with looting and violence perpetrated by laborers from outside the region hired for the harvest season in some places jews were protected by the town officials and they were declared to be under royal protection however a voluntary exodus began and was accelerated when similar disorders were repeated in according to isidore loeb in a special study of the subject in the revue des tudes juives xiv about jews came to provence after the alhambra decree expelled jews from spain in for expulsion but the calls were rejected by charles viii however louis xii in one of his first acts as king in issued a general expulsion order of the jews of provence though not enforced at the time the order was renewed in and again in on this occasion it was definitively implemented the jews of provence were given the option of conversion to christianity and a number chose that option however after a short while if only to compensate partially for the loss of revenues caused by the departure of the jews the king imposed a special tax referred to as the tax of the neophytes these converts and their descendants soon became the objects of social discrimination and slanders during the second half of the th century a number of jews attempted to reestablish themselves in provence before the french revolution abolished the administrative entity of provence the first community outside the southwest alsacelorraine and comtat venaissin was reformed in marseilles early modern period century jews began again to reenter france this resulted in a new edict of april which forbade christians under the penalty of death and confiscation to shelter jews or to converse with them alsace and lorraine were the home of a significant number of jews in annexing the provinces in louis xiv was at first inclined toward the banishment of jews living in those provinces but thought better of it in view of the benefit he could derive from them on september he granted these jews letters patent taking them under his special protection this however did not prevent them from being subjected to every kind of extortion and their position remained the same as it had been under the austrian government the regency was no less severe in louis xiv expelled jews from the newly acquired colony of martinique beginnings of emancipation by the s there were about to jews in france chiefly centered in bordeaux metz and a few other apart from the moneylending business but their status was not illegal in the course of the th century the attitude of the authorities toward jews changed for the better a spirit of tolerance began to prevail which corrected the iniquities of previous legislation the authorities often overlooked infractions of the edict of banishment a colony of portuguese and german jews was tolerated in paris the voices of enlightened christians who demanded justice for the proscribed people began to be heard an alsatian jew named cerf berr who had rendered great service to the french government as purveyor to the army was the interpreter of the jews before louis xvi the humane minister malesherbes summoned a commission of jewish notables to make suggestions for the amelioration of the condition of their coreligionists the direct result of the efforts of these men was the abolition in of the degrading polltax and the permission to settle in all parts of france shortly afterward the jewish question was raised by two men of genius who abb grgoirethe former of whom while on a diplomatic mission in prussia had made the acquaintance of moses mendelssohn and his school see haskalah who were then working toward the intellectual emancipation of the jews in a pamphlet sur moses mendelssohn sur la rforme politique des juifs london mirabeau refuted the arguments of the german antisemites like michaelis and claimed for the jews the full rights of citizenship this pamphlet naturally provoked many writings for and against the jews and the french public became interested in the question on the proposition of roederer the royal society of science and arts of metz offered a prize for the best essay in answer to the question what are the best means to make the jews happier and more useful in france nine essays of which only two were unfavorable to the jews were submitted to the judgment of the learned assembly of the challenge there were three winners abb gregoire claudeantoine jews in bordeaux and bayonne participated in to the election of the estatesgeneral but those in alsace lorraine and in paris were denied this right cerf beer then asked to jacques necker and obtained the right for jews from eastern france to elect their own delegates among them were the son of cerf beer theodore and joseph david sinzheim the cahier written by the jewish community from eastern france asked for the end of the discriminatory status and taxes targeting jews the fall of the bastille was the signal for disorders everywhere in france in certain districts of alsace the peasants attacked the dwellings of the jews who took refuge in basel a gloomy picture of the outrages upon them was sketched before the national assembly august by the abb henri grgoire who demanded their complete emancipation the national assembly shared the indignation of the prelate but left undecided the question of emancipation it was intimidated by the deputies of alsace especially by jeanfranois rewbell on december the issue of admitting to public service all citizens without distinction of creed mirabeau the abb grgoire robespierre duport barnave and the comte de clermonttonnerre exerted all the power of their eloquence to bring about the desired emancipation but the repeated disturbances in alsace and the strong opposition of the deputies of that province and of the clericals like la fare bishop of nancy the abb maury and others caused the decision to be again postponed only the portuguese and the avignonese jews who had hitherto enjoyed all civil rights as naturalized frenchmen were declared full citizens by a majority of on january this partial victory infused new hope into the jews of the german districts who made still greater efforts in the struggle for freedom they won over the eloquent advocate godard whose influence in revolutionary circles was considerable through his exertions the national guards and the diverse sections pronounced themselves in favor of the jews and the abb malot was sent by the general assembly of unfortunately the grave affairs which absorbed the assembly the prolonged agitations in alsace and the passions of the clerical party kept in check the active propaganda of the jews and their friends a few days before the dissolution of the national assembly september a member of the jacobin club formerly a parliamentary councilor duport unexpectedly ascended the tribune and said i believe that freedom of worship does not permit any distinction in the political rights of citizens on account of their creed the question of the political existence of the jews has been postponed still the muslems and the men of all sects are admitted to enjoy political rights in france i demand that the motion for postponement be withdrawn and a decree passed that the jews in france enjoy the privileges of full citizens this proposition was accepted amid loud applause rewbell endeavored indeed to oppose the motion but he was interrupted by regnault de saintjean president of the assembly who suggested that every one because he would be opposing the constitution itself during the reign of terror judaism in france thus became as the alsatian deputy schwendt wrote to his constituents nothing more than the name of a distinct religion however in alsace especially in the basrhin the reactionaries did not cease their agitations and jews were victims of discriminations during the reign of terror at bordeaux jewish bankers compromised in the cause of the girondins had to pay important fines or to run away to save their lives while some jewish bankers according to the jewish encyclopedia were imprisoned at paris as suspects and nine of them were executed the decree of the convention by which the catholic faith was annulled and replaced by the worship of reason was applied by the provincial clubs especially by those of the german districts to the jewish religion as well some synagogues were pillaged and the mayors of a few eastern towns strasbourg troyes etc forbade the celebration of sabbath to french jews gave proofs of their patriotism and of their gratitude to the land which had emancipated them many of them died in battle as part of the army of the republic while fighting the forces of europe in coalition to contribute to the war fund candelabra of synagogues were sold and many jews deprived themselves of their jewels to make similar contributions attitude of napoleon though the revolution had begun the process of jewish emancipation in france napoleon also spread the concept in the lands he conquered across europe liberating jews from their ghettos and establishing relative equality for them the net effect of his policies significantly changed the position of the jews in europe starting in napoleon passed a number of measures supporting the position of the jews in the french empire including assembling a representative group elected by the jewish community the grand sanhedrin in conquered countries he abolished laws restricting jews to ghettos in he added judaism as an official religion of france with previously sanctioned the positive effects it is unclear however whether napoleon himself was disposed favorably towards the jews or merely saw them as a political or financial tool on march napoleon rolled back some reforms by the socalled dcret infme declaring all debts with jews reduced postponed or annulled this caused the jewish community to nearly collapse the decree also restricted where jews could live especially for those in the eastern french empire with all its annexations in the rhineland and beyond as of in hopes of assimilating them into society many of these restrictions were eased again in and finally abolished in after the restoration the restoration of louis xviii did not bring any change in the political condition of the jews such of the enemies of the jews as cherished the hope that the bourbons would hasten to undo the work of the revolution with regard to jewish emancipation were soon disappointed the emancipation the french jews had made such progress that curtailing their rights as citizens they were no longer poor downtrodden peddlers or moneylenders with whom every petty official could do as he liked many of them already occupied high positions in the army and the magistracy as well as in the arts and sciences state recognition of the faiths recognized by the state only the jewish had to support its ministers while those of the catholic and protestant churches were supported by the government this legal inferiority was removed in that year thanks to the intervention of the duke of orlans lieutenantgeneral of the kingdom and to the campaign led in parliament by the deputies rambuteau and viennet encouraged by these prominent men the minister of education on november offered a motion to place judaism upon an equal footing with catholicism and protestantism as regards support for the synagogues and for the rabbis from the public treasury the motion was accompanied by flattering compliments to the french jews who said the minister since the removal of their the privileges granted them after a short discussion the motion was adopted by a large majority in january it passed in the chamber of peers by votes to and on february it was ratified by king louis philippe who from the beginning had shown himself favorable to placing judaism on an equal footing with the other faiths shortly afterward the rabbinical college which had been founded at metz in was recognized as a state institution and was granted a subsidy the government likewise liquidated the debts contracted by various jewish communities before the revolution assimilation while the jews had been placed in every point the equals of their christian fellow citizens the oath more judaico still continued to be administered to them in spite of the repeated protestations of the rabbis and the consistory it was only in owing to a brilliant speech of the jewish advocate adolphe crmieux pronounced before the court of nmes in defense of a rabbi who had refused on the subject by martin a prominent christian advocate of strasburg that the court of cassation removed this last remnant of the legislation of the middle ages with this act of justice the history of the jews of france merges into the general history of the french people the rapidity with which many of them won affluence and distinction in the nineteenth century is without parallel in spite of the deeprooted prejudices which prevailed in certain classes of french society many of them occupied high positions in literature art science jurisprudence the armyindeed in every walk of life in the alliance israelite universelle was formed to work everywhere for the emancipation and moral progress of the jews to offer effective assistance to jews suffering from antisemitism and to encourage all publications calculated to promote this aim in the approximate jews of algeria at that time a french department were automatically granted french citizenship by the crmieux decrees people of the jewish after their emancipation in jews in france had new freedoms for example jews were allowed to attend schools that were once delegated for just nonjews they were also allowed to pray in their own synagogues lastly many jews found themselves moving from the rural areas of france and into the big cities in these big cities jews had new job opportunities and many were advancing up the economic ladder although life was looking brighter for these western jews some jews who lived in eastern europe believed that the emancipation in western countries were causing the jews to lose their traditional beliefs and culture as more and more jews were becoming assimilated into their new lives these jews were breaking away from rabbinical law and rabbinical authority decreased for example jews were marrying outside of their religion and their children were growing up in homes where they were not being introduced to traditional beliefs and losing connection with their roots also in these new urbanized jewish homes less and less jews were following the preoccupied with assimilating and prospering in their new lives that they formed a new type of judaism that would fit with the times the reform movement came about to let jews stay connected to their roots while also living their lives without so many restrictions in the last decade of the nineteenth century the reactionaries having failed in every attempt to overthrow the republic had recourse to antisemitism by means of which they maintained a persistent agitation for over ten years the jews were charged with the ruin of the country and with all the crimes which the fertile imagination of a drumont founder of the antisemitic league of france or a viau could invent and as the accused often disdained to answer such slanderous attacks the charges were believed by a great number of people to be true a campaign was started against jewish army officers which culminated in the dreyfus affair during which a jewish officer alfred dreyfus was accused of treason in favour of the german empire and jailed in appalling conditions at the turn of the century the law on the separation of the church and the state put an end to state religion in france all religions and philosophies being considered by the state a matter of privacy tolerance and of freedom of thought th century dreyfus affair the dreyfus affair was a major political scandal that convulsed france from until its resolution in and then had reverberations for decades more the affair is often seen as a modern and universal symbol of injustice for reasons of state and remains one of the most striking examples of a complex miscarriage of justice where a central role was played by the press and public opinion the issue was blatant antisemitism as practiced by the army and defended by traditionalists especially catholics against secular and republican forces including most jews in the end the latter triumphed the affair began in november with the conviction for treason of captain alfred dreyfus a young french artillery officer of alsatian imprisonment for allegedly having communicated french military secrets to the german embassy in paris dreyfus was sent to the penal colony at devil s island in french guiana where he spent almost five years two years later in evidence came to light identifying a french army major named ferdinand walsin esterhazy as the real spy after highranking military officials suppressed the new evidence a military court unanimously acquitted esterhazy after the second day of his trial the army accused dreyfus of additional charges based on false documents word of the military court s framing of dreyfus and of an attendant coverup began to spread chiefly owing to jaccuse a vehement open letter published in a paris newspaper in january by the notable writer mile zola activists put pressure on the government to reopen the case in dreyfus was returned to france for another trial the intense political and judicial scandal that ensued divided french society between those who supported dreyfus now called dreyfusards such as anatole france condemned him the antidreyfusards such as douard drumont the director and publisher of the antisemitic newspaper la libre parole the new trial resulted in another conviction and a year sentence but dreyfus was given a pardon and set free eventually all the accusations against alfred dreyfus were demonstrated to be baseless in dreyfus was exonerated and reinstated as a major in the french army the affair from to divided france deeply and lastingly into two opposing camps the proarmy mostly catholic antidreyfusards who generally lost the initiative to the anticlerical prorepublican dreyfusards it embittered french politics and allowed the radicals to come to power before world war ii by the early s the conditions of the jews had improved tremendously and a wave of jewish immigration arrived in france mostly fleeing the pogroms of eastern europe immigration temporarily halted during world war i and jews fought in french forces but resumed afterwards jews were prominent in art and culture during this periodsuch as as modigliani soutine and chagall antisemitism declined during the s in part because the fact that so many jews died fighting for france during world war i made it more difficult to accuse them of not being patriotic the antisemitic newspaper la libre parole closed in and the former antidreyfusard maurice barrs included jews among france s spiritual families the influx of jewish refugees from germany and the jewishness of the popular front s leader lon blum contributed to a revival of antisemitism in the s writers such as paul morand pierre gaxotte marcel jouhandeau and the leader of action franaise charles maurras denounced jews perhaps the most violent antisemitic writer was louisferdinand cline who wrote i feel myself very friendly to hitler and to all germans whom i feel to be my brothers our real enemies are jews and masons and yids are like bedbugs by even mainstream conservatives and socialists not previously associated with antisemitism denounced the alleged jewish influence the popular front received the majority of votes in and france elected a jewish prime minister lon blum blum however was attacked by segments of the french farright for his jewishness while the action franaise farright leagues and the cagoule terrorist group engaged in antisemitic propaganda french jews and the holocaust when france came under occupation by nazi germany in june there were probably about jews living in france less than half of them with french citizenship the others being foreigners mostly exiles from germany during the s another french jews were living in french algeria about of them and the large majority of foreign jews resided in paris and its outskirts among the french jews about generally native from central europe had been naturalized french citizens during the s besides alsace and a large part of lorraine which were annexed by germany france was divided into two zones the occupied and unoccupied some jews managed to escape the invading german forces especially from paris some found refuge in the countryside spain also allowed jews not necessarily only from france to use the country as an escape route the first antijewish measure of the occupying power was published on september with the publication of the first ordinance the measure was a census of jews and set out a definition of who is a jew the second ordinance was published on october and proscribed various business activities for jews on august all radios belonging to jews were confiscated and then their bicycles and then all phones to jews were disconnected and they were forbidden from using public telephones jews were forbidden to change their address and then to leave their homes between pm and am all public places parks theatres and certain shops were soon closed to jews new restrictions prohibitions and decrees proliferated by the week they were barred from public music halls etc on the metro they had to crowd into the last carriage antisemitic articles had been appearing constantly in newspapers since the occupation and antisemitic exhibitions were organised music of jewish writers were banned as were works of art on october seven synagogues were bombed the first roundup of jews took place on may involving foreign jews another roundup took place on august involving both french and foreign jews who were sent to the drancy internment camp and other concentration camps in france roundups continued involving lawyers french nationals and other professionals on december the most distinguished members of the paris jewish community including doctors academics scientists and writers were rounded up on may the eighth ordinance was published which ordered jews to wear the yellow star the most notorious roundup was the vel dhiv roundup which required detailed planning and the use of the full resources of and july and involved nearly jews of which including over children were packed and locked into the vlodrome dhiver in the meantime deportations from france to death camps commenced the first one taking place on march deportations would continue until august by which time nearly jews including those from vichy france were deported of which only survived see timeline of deportations of french jews to death camps the majority of jews deported were nonfrench jews antisemitism was particularly virulent in vichy france the vichy government openly collaborated with the nazi occupiers to identify jews for deportation and transportation to the death camps as early as october without any request from the germans the vichy government passed antijewish measures the statutes on jews prohibiting them from moving and limiting their access to public places and most professional activities in the vichy government established a commissariat gnral aux questions juives gestapo to roundup jews including the vel dhiv roundup on and july on the other hand france has the third highest number of righteous among the nations according to the yad vashem museum this award is given to nonjews who acted according to the most noble principles of humanity by risking their lives to save jews during the holocaust french president jacques chirac apologized in for the complicit role that french policemen and civil servants played in the roundups he said these black hours will stain our history for ever and are an injury to our past and our traditions yes the criminal madness of the occupant was assisted seconde

holocaust jews remained in france some of whom were refugees from eastern europe between december and january lon blum was head of state and head of government in the population was in the s and s jewish refugees from europe resettled in france they were later joined by large numbers of jews from france s north african colonies who quickly assimilated in france their numbers increased after french decolonization of its territories abroad in and antisemitism in these newly formed nationstates in total it is estimated that between and about north african jews from algeria tunisia and morocco immigrated to france due sixday war hence by jews of north african origin were a majority of the jews of france the north african jews enjoyed a successful social and economic integration in france while reinvigorating its jewish life kosher restaurants and jewish schools multiplied in particular since the s and the religious renewal of the younger generation france was initially a very strong supporter of israel voting for its formation and becoming its main ally and primary supplier of military hardware between and after the suez crisis in relations between israel and france remained strong however after the algerian war in france progressively shifted towards a more proarab view which accelerated rapidly after the sixday war in the united states then became the main supplier of weapons and military technology of israel even if it has been neither confirmed nor denied by israel it is widely believed that according to the protocol of svres agreements france secretly transmitted parts of its own atomic technology to israel in the late s france has the largest jewish population in europe and the third largest jewish population in the world after israel and the united states the jewish community in france is estimated from a core population of to an enlarged population of in france s highest court the council of state issued a ruling recognising the state s responsibility in the deportation of tens of thousands of jews during world war ii the report cited mistakes in the vichy regime that had not been forced by the occupiers stating that the state allowed or facilitated the deportation from france of victims of antisemitism antisemitism and immigration in the early s rising levels of antisemitism among french muslims and antisemitic acts were publicized around the world including the desecration of jewish graves and tensions between the children of north african muslim immigrants and north african jewish children one of the worst crimes happened when ilan halimi was mutilated and tortured to death by the socalled barbarians gang led by youssouf fofana this murder was motivated said they believed jews to be rich in march a gunman who had earlier killed soldiers opened fire at a jewish school in toulouse in an antisemitic attack killing four people including three children president nicolas sarkozy said i want to say to all the leaders of the jewish community how close we feel to them all of france is by their side however jewish philanthropist baron eric de rothschild suggested that the extent of antisemitism in france has been exaggerated and that france was not an antisemitic country the newspaper le monde diplomatique had earlier said the same thing according to a poll made by the pew research center there is no evidence of any specific antisemitism in france which according to this poll appears to be one of the least antisemitic countries in europe though france has the world s third largest jewish population france is the country that has the most favourable views of jews in europe with the least unfavourable views next to the uk and the netherlands rises in antisemitism in modern france have been linked to the intensifying israelipalestinian conflict between the start of the israeli offensive in gaza in late december and its end in january an estimated hundred antisemitic acts were recorded in france this compares with a total of antisemitic acts in the whole of in acts of antisemitism were recorded in france with in the first half of an estimated acts more than the whole of in and in in there were threats graffitis flyers or mails insults and crimes assaults arsons or attempted arsons deteriorations and acts of vandalism but no murder attempted murder or terrorist attack recorded between and french jews moved to israel or made aliyah an increase that was in the continuity of a similar increase since the s a peak was reached during this period in olim but a significant proportion between and eventually came back to france some immigrants cited antisemitism and the growing arab population as reasons for leaving one couple who moved to israel claimed that rising antisemitism by french muslims and the antiisrael bias of the french government was making life for jews increasingly uncomfortable for them at a welcoming ceremony for french jews in the summer of then israeli prime minister ariel sharon caused controversy when he advised all french jews to move immediately to israel and escape what he coined the wildest antisemitism in france in august some olim were due to arrive in israel from france as opposed to the initially forecast french jews made aliyah to israel in and in however in the long term and even if france has the world s third largest jewish community emigration toward israel in november israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu in a joint press conference with francois hollande advised the french jewish community by saying in my role as prime minister of israel i always say to jews wherever they may be i say to them come to israel and make israel your home alluding to former israel prime minister s ariel sharon s similar advisement towards the french jewish community to move to israel back in in french jews immigrated to israel marking a increase over the previous year during the first few months of the jewish agency of israel has continued to encourage an increase of french aliyah through aliyah fairs hebrewlanguage courses sessions which assist in potential olim to find jobs in israel and immigrant absorption in israel a may survey revealed that percent of french jews consider leaving france for israel where of the percent percent cited antisemitism another cited their desire to preserve by other countries economic considerations was cited by percent of the respondents by june it was estimated by the end of a full percent of the french jewish community will have made aliyah to israel the largest in a single year many jewish leaders stated the emigration is being driven by a combination of factors including the cultural gravitation towards israel and frances economic woes especially for the younger generation drawn by the possibility of other socioeconomic opportunities in the more vibrant israeli economy the different currents of judaism in france jews of france are divided in many groups reflecting the diversity of judaism today there are ultraorthodox haredim in a few yeshivot lubavitch focused on religious education modern orthodox in paris synagogue of montevideo street and agoudas hakehilos synagogue consistorian jews who are the majority following the grand rabbi of france currently a vacant position following the resignation of gilles bernheim masorti jews present in paris and following the rabbi rivon krygier and other smaller france is completely secular for instance the biggest religious organization the consistory has in paris only members over a total of jews in some black jews called for a black synagogue in france to fight against the feeling of exclusion they had in the french jewish community if the grand rabbi of france is the highest religious authority it is the conseil reprsentatif des institutions juives de france crif lead since by roger cukierman that has the political influence even if there is no discernable jewish vote in national elections and that this influence is far weaker than the one that has aipac in the us as can be seen during the dner annuel du crif that either the president in or the prime minister before in and attend alongside major political figures from both sides of the political spectrum like franois hollande dominique de villepin corinne lepage extreme or antiisrael are not invited including members of the

 sir william scroggs c ampndash october lord chief justice of england was the son of an oxford landowner an account of him being the son of a butcher of sufficient means to give his son a university education is merely a rumour youth and early career scroggs spent his youth in stifford he went to oriel college and later to pembroke college oxford where he graduated in having acquired a fair knowledge of the classics there is some evidence that he fought on the royalist side during the civil war in he was called to the bar and soon gained a good practice in the courts he was appointed a judge of the common pleas in and two years later was promoted to be lord chief justice lord chief justice and the popish plot as lord chief justice scroggs presided at the trial of the persons denounced by titus oates for complicity in the popish plot and he treated with sarcasm and abuse while on their trial and taunting them when sentencing them to death so careless was he of the rights of the accused that at one trial he admitted to the jury that he had forgotten much of the evidence he may at first have been a sincere believer in the existence of the plot along with much of the general public and parliament but he did nothing to test the credibility of witnesses like oates william bedloe miles prance and thomas dangerfield even though he knew well that bedloe and dangerfield were leading figures in the criminal underworld and he probably also knew that prance had made his confession under threat of torture in november william staley a young catholic banker was executed for treason in that he had imagined ie threatened the king s death staley a heavy drinker had probably made a threat against the king when drunk but in less disturbed times he could have hoped to escape with a severe reprimand scroggs of a man s life he would have no regard paid to the rumours of the time but the rest of his summing up was wholly in favour of a guilty verdict a week later edward colman former private secretary to the duke of york was executed for allegedly treasonable correspondence with louis xiv of france again scroggs drove hard for a conviction despite colman s standing as a government official colman s letters in which he urged louis to press charles ii for a dissolution of parliament showed a grave lack of political judgement but it was straining the law to call them treasonable the correspondence which apparently ended in had no effect on english policy and was of such little importance that colman until he was confronted with the letters had apparently forgotten writing them scroggs told colman that he had been condemned on his own papers this was fortunate for the crown since the evidence of oates and bedloe of overt acts of treason was so feeble that scroggs in his summingup simply the prisoners henry berry robert green and lawrence hill accused of the murder of sir edmund berry godfrey scroggs gave a characteristic exhibition of his methods indulging in a tirade against the roman catholic religion and loudly proclaiming his belief in the guilt of the accused when lawrence hill s wife boldly accused miles prance the crown s chief witness of perjury in open court scroggs said incredulously you can not think that he will swear three men out of their lives for nothing all three defendants were put to death as mrs hill correctly predicted prance later confessed that the three were wholly innocent it was only when in july of the same year oates s accusation against the queen s physician sir george wakeman appeared likely to involve the queen herself in the ramifications of the plot that scroggs began to think matters were going too far he was probably also influenced by the discovery that the court regarded the plot with discredit and disfavour and that he had supposed with the king the chief justice on this occasion threw doubt on the trustworthiness of bedloe and oates as witnesses and warned the jury to be careful in accepting their evidence wakeman and a number of priests who were tried with him were duly acquitted this inflamed public opinion against scroggs for the popular belief in the plot was still strong scroggs continued in his poor treatment of catholic priests who came before him for trial as he showed when he sentenced andrew bromwich to death at stafford in the summer of nevertheless his proposing the duke of york s health at the lord mayor s dinner a few months later in the presence of shaftesbury indicated his determination not to support the exclusionists against the known wishes of the king at the opening of the michaelmas term he delivered a speech on the need for judicial independence the people ought to be pleased with public justice and not justice seek to please the people justice must flow like a mighty river neither corrupted an age that no man can with safety be just and follow his own conscience kenyon remarks that whatever scroggs s faults this speech shows that he was far more than the brainless bully he is sometimes portrayed as acting in the assurance of popular sympathy oates and bedloe now arraigned the chief justice before the privy council for having discredited their evidence and misdirected the jury in the wakeman case accusing him at the same time of several other misdemeanours on the bench including a habit of excessive drinking and foul language in january the case was argued before the council and scroggs was acquitted at the trials of elizabeth cellier and of lord castlemaine in june of the same year both of whom were acquitted he discredited dangerfield s evidence and on the former occasion committed the witness to prison in the same month he discharged the grand jury of middlesex before the end of term in order to save the duke of york from indictment as a popish recusant a proceeding which the was made an article in the impeachment of scroggs in january the dissolution of parliament put an end to the impeachment but in april scroggs was removed from the bench with a pension he died in london on october personality and lifestyle scroggs was a judge at a time when the courts were considered corrupt and unfair and his temper and treatment of defendants were an example of the endemic problems within the judiciary he served on the bench during the same period as judge jeffreys who has also been criticised for similarly poor treatment of defendants and witnesses kenyon notes that while their behaviour was degrading and disgusting by modern standards it was at the time apparently taken for granted scroggs was the subject of many contemporary satires he was reputed to live a debauched lifestyle and his manners during trials were considered coarse and violent roger north who knew him well described him as a man of great wit and fluency but scandalous violent intemperate and extreme his celebrated attack on william whitshed lord chief justice of ireland called him as vile and profligate

 the canadian red ensign is a former flag of canada used by the federal government though it was never adopted as official by the parliament of canada it is a british red ensign featuring the union flag in the canton defaced with the shield of the coat of arms of canada history the red ensign bearing some sort of a canadian emblem was used by canadians both on land and at sea beginning as early as soon after confederation on an informal or extralegal basis as prime minister sir john a macdonald constantly made use of it promoting it by precept and example throughout canada in it was authorized by admiralty warrant for use on ships registered in canada and this was enshrined in the canada shipping act of yet the flag had no legal status on land canada s official flag was the royal union flag until despite its lack of any official status on land the red ensign with canadian arms was widely until when it was replaced by the union flag various versions of the red ensign continued to be flown on land and the flag featured prominently in patriotic displays and recruiting efforts during first world war it can be seen in numerous photographs of canadian troops on the prime minister s car and in victory parades the original canadian red ensign had the arms of the four founding provinces on its shield however in the late th and early th century flag manufacturers would often supplement this design with laurel wreaths and crowns the design was frequently placed on a white square or circle in the flag s fly right hand side assuming the flagpole to be on the left there was no standard design for the red ensign until the early s in the government of canada asked king george v to order a new coat of arms for canada the college of arms thus designed a suitable coat of arms of canada the new shield was displayed on the red ensign in in the red ensign was approved for use on canadian government buildings outside canada the canadian red ensign through history tradition and custom was finally formalized on september when the governor general of canada signed an orderincouncil pc which stated that the red ensign with the shield of the coat of arms in the fly to be referred to as the canadian red ensign may be flown from buildings owned or occupied by the canadian federal government within or without canada shall be appropriate to fly as a distinctive canadian flag so in the flag was approved for use by government buildings inside canada as well and once again flew over parliament the red ensign served until when it was replaced by today s maple leaf flag the flag bore various forms of the shield from the canadian coat of arms in its fly during the period of its use the picture top shows the official form between and from the same except that the leaves in the coat of arms were green and there was a slight alteration to the irish harp the earlier version having a woman s bust as part of the harp a blue ensign also bearing the shield of the canadian coat of arms was the jack flown by the royal canadian navy and the ensign of other ships owned by the canadian government until from until canadian confederation in the united province of canada could also have used a blue ensign but there is little evidence such a flag was ever used in or jacobi s painting of the new parliament buildings in a red ensign flies from the tower of the east block vimy ridge red ensign the red ensign carried by the th canadian infantry battalion western cavalry at the battle of vimy ridge in survives to this day the battle was the first instance in which all four divisions of the canadian expeditionary force fought together as a such it is often viewed as a pivotal event in the emergence of canadian national identity the red ensign flown at vimy ridge in was the pre version with the arms of canada s first four provinces it is unclear why an outdated version of the flag was carried into the battle although it may have come from the flag locker of the merchant ship that brought the battalion to europe after the battle the flag was donated to the imperial war museum in the united kingdom by lieutenant colonel lorn paulet owen tudor of the th battalion an englishman who had emigrated to canada before the war the imperial war museum refused requests over the years to repatriate the vimy ridge red ensign to canada including a request in to acquire the flag for the ceremonies surrounding the dedication of canada s tomb of the unknown soldier david penn keeper of exhibits and firearms at the imperial war museum called the flag our most important first world war commonwealth artifact eventually after months of negotiations agreed to loan the flag to canada to commemorate the opening of the new canadian war museum in ottawa in the flag was returned to the united kingdom in being over years old the vimy ridge red ensign is possibly the oldest canadian flag in existence there is another red ensign in existence that was reportedly carried by canadian troops at the battle of vimy ridge currently held by the penticton museum and archives in penticton british columbia it is a simple red ensign without a coat of arms variations before the design of the red ensign was standardized in flag makers made the badge larger each time a new province was added to the confederation this led to the creation of several unofficial but

manitoba both of which were introduced in after the canadian red ensign was replaced by the maple leaf flag the liberal government of lester pearson promised to introduce a new flag to replace the red ensign as a means of promoting national unity and a new canadian identity by replacing what was seen as a symbol of the british empire and colonialism with one that would be more inclusive of canadians who are not of british stock particularly frenchcanadians in after the great flag debate in parliament and throughout the country as a whole the maple leaf flag was adopted groups such as the royal canadian legion and others who had sympathies with maintaining canada s links to britain opposed the new flag as they saw it as a means of loosening that connection the leader of the progressive conservative party john diefenbaker was especially passionate in his defence of the red ensign in protest of the federal government s decision progressive conservative governments in manitoba and ontario adopted the canadian red ensign continues to be flown by some canadians especially monarchism in canada a red ensign currently the version donated by the royal canadian legion will now be permanently flown alongside the maple leaf flag at the canadian national vimy memorial following its rededication in april prime minister stephen harper made the decision after lobbying by veterans groups and thenparliamentary secretary jason kenney supporters of the decision noted that the red ensign was the flag under which the canadian army had fought and that numerous other canadian war memorials and historical sites fly relevant historical flags critics including liberal senators marcel prudhomme and romo dallaire attacked the move saying the old flag belongs in a museum not on a flagpole what s happening at vimy is a dangerous precedent because it could lead to the officialization of all sorts of flags prudhomme said canadian blue ensign the canadian blue ensign is similar to the red ensign the flag was used as the jack of the royal canadian navy from its the blue ensign was approved by the british admiralty in for use by ships owned by the canadian government carr s

dressed with masthead flags in the canadian government established that the canadian blue ensign the blue ensign of the dominion of canada would be used as a special ensign by the several canadian yacht clubs which had prior to then used the british blue ensign either plain or defaced as their special ensign this usage lasted until the introduction of the maple leaf flag today some canadian yacht clubs use the canadian blue ensign to commemorate this usage misidentification on note during the early s an urban myth developed reporting that the american flag was printed on the canadian

 maptype british advance delayed combatant united kingdom the battle of north point was fought on september between general john stricker s maryland militia and a british force led by major general robert ross although the americans retreated they were able to do so in good order having inflicted significant casualties on the british killing one of the commanders of the invading force significantly demoralizing the troops under his command and leaving some of his units lost among woods and swampy creeks with others in confusion this combination prompted brooke to delay his advance against baltimore buying valuable time to properly prepare for the defense of the city as stricker retreated back to the main defenses to bolster the existing force the engagement was a part of the larger battle of baltimore an american victory in the war of background british movements major general robert ross had been dispatched to chesapeake bay with a brigade of veterans from the duke of wellington s army early in defeated a hastily assembled force of maryland and district of columbia militia at the battle of bladensburg on august and burned washington having disrupted the american government he withdrew to the waiting ships of the royal navy at the mouth of the patuxent river before heading further up the chesapeake bay to the strategically more important port city of baltimore although the americans managed to defeat a british landing at caulk s field before doing so ross s army of troops and marines landed at north point at the end of the peninsula between the patapsco river and the back river on the morning of september and began moving toward the city of baltimore american defenses major general samuel smith of the maryland militia anticipated the british move and dispatched brigadier general john stricker s column to meet them stricker s force consisted of five regiments of maryland militia a small militia cavalry regiment from maryland a battalion of three volunteer rifle companies and a battery of six pounder field hill just outside baltimore where there were earthworks and artillery emplacements and north point at that point several tidal creeks narrowed the peninsula to only a mile wide and it was considered an ideal spot for opposing the british before they reached the main american defensive positions stricker received intelligence that the british were camped at a farm just mi from his headquarters he deployed his men between bear creek and bread and cheese creek which offered cover from nearby woods and had a long wooden fence near the main road stricker placed the th maryland regiment and the th maryland regiment and his six guns in the front defensive line with two regiments the st and th in support and one more the th in reserve he placed his men in mutually supporting positions relying on numerous swamps and the two streams to stop a british flank attack all of which he hoped would help avoid another disaster such as bladensburg the riflemen initially occupied a position some the british advance however their commander captain william dyer hastily withdrew on hearing a rumour that british troops were landing from the back river behind him threatening to cut off his retreat stricker posted them instead on his right flank battle opening skirmish at about midday on the th stricker heard the british had halted while the soldiers had a meal and some sailors attached to ross s force plundered nearby farms he decided it would be better to provoke a fight rather than wait for a possible british night attack at pm he sent major richard heath with men and one cannon to draw the british to stricker s main force heath advanced down the road and soon began to engage the british pickets when ross heard the fighting he quickly left his meal and ran to the scene his men attempted to drive out the concealed american riflemen rear admiral george cockburn second in command of the royal navy american station who usually accompanied ross agreed that he would leave and bring back the main army however ross never got the chance as an american rifleman shot him in the chest mortally wounded ross turned command over to colonel arthur brooke and died soon after main battle brooke reorganized the british troops and prepared to assault the american positions at pm he decided to use his three cannon to cover an attempt by the th regiment to get around the american flank while two more regiments and the naval brigade would assault the american center the british frontal assault took heavy casualties as the american riflemen fired into the british assault and lacking cannister the americans loaded their cannon with broken locks nails and horseshoes firing scrap metal at the british advance nevertheles the british th regiment managed to outflank the american positions and sent many of the american regiments fleeing stricker was able to conduct an organized retreat with his men firing volleys as they continued to fall back this proved effective killing among woods and swampy creeks with others in confusion not all the militia regiments performed with equal distinction the st regiment and some men of the th broke and ran under fire however the th maryland regiment corporal john mchenry of the th regiment wrote of the battle our regiment the th carried off the praise from the other regiments engaged so did the company to which i have the honor to belong cover itself with glory when compared to the other regiments we were the last that left the ground had our regiment not retreated at the time it did we should have been cut off in two minutes brooke did not follow the retreating americans he had advanced to within a mile of the main american position but he had suffered heavier casualties than the americans as it was getting dark he chose to wait until fort mchenry was expected to be neutralized while stricker withdrew to baltimore s main defences casualties the official british army casualty killed and wounded of these killed and wounded belonged to the british army killed and wounded belonged to the nd and rd battalions of the royal marines killed and wounded belonged to the contingents of royal marines detached from cockburn s fleet and killed elias taylor and wounded belonged to the royal marine artillery as was normal the royal navy submitted a separate casualty return for the engagement signed by rearadmiral cockburn which gives sailors killed and wounded but contradicts the british army casualty report by giving killed and from hms madagascar and hms ramillies respectively and wounded for the royal marines detached from the ships of the naval fleet a subsequent casualty return from cochrane to the admiralty dated september gives sailors killed missing and wounded with royal marines casualties of killed and wounded the total british losses as officially killed and wounded depending on which of the two casualty returns was accurate historian franklin r mullaly gives still another version of the british casualties killed and wounded despite using these same sources the american loss was killed wounded and taken prisoner aftermath the battle had been costly for the british apart from the other casualties losing general ross was a critical blow to the british he was a respected leader of british forces in the peninsular war and the war of ross s death proved a blow to british morale as well the combined effect of the blow suffered at north point and the failure of the royal navy to capture or get past fort mchenry at the entrance to baltimore harbor despite a hour bombardment proved to be the turning point of the battle of baltimore during the bombardment on fort mchenry francis scott key was detained on a british ship at the entrance to baltimore and penned the words to the starspangled cautiously towards baltimore there was no more opposition from stricker but when the british came into view of the main defenses of baltimore brooke estimated them to be manned by up to militia with cannon he prepared to make a night assault against the defenses at loudenslager hill but asked vice admiral

 mostek was an integrated circuit manufacturer founded in by exemployees of texas instruments initially their products were manufactured in worcester massachusetts however by most of its manufacturing was done in the carrollton texas facility on crosby road at its peak in the late s mostek held an market share of the dynamic randomaccess memory dram memory chip market worldwide until being eclipsed by japanese dram manufacturers who offered equivalent chips at lower prices by dumping memory on the market in soon after its market peak mostek was purchased by united technologies corporation for m in after several years of red ink and declining market share utc sold mostek for m to the french electronics firm thomson sa later part of stmicroelectronics mostek s intellectual property portfolio which included rights to the intel x microprocessor family as well as many foundational patents in dram technology provided a large windfall of royalty payments for stmicroelectronics in the s early calculator business mostek s circuit design the first design to be produced in their newly setup mos fab in worcester was the mk a simple shifter chip this was followed by a k pmos aluminumgate dram the mk that was manufactured in their carrollton facility mostek had been working with sprague electric to develop the ion implantation process which provided a tremendous gain in the control of doping profiles using ion implantation mostek became an early leader in mos manufacturing technology while their competition was still mostly using the older bipolar technology the resulting increased speed and lower cost of the mk memory chip made it the runaway favorite to ibm and other mainframe and minicomputer manufacturers cf bunch digital equipment corporation in busicom a japanese adding machine manufacturer approached intel and mostek with a proposal to introduce a new electronic calculator line intel responded first providing them with the intel which they used in a line of desktop calculators mostek s device took longer to develop but was a singlechip solution new handheld line the busicom lea which went on the market in and was the smallest calculator available for some time hewlettpackard also contracted with mostek for mask development and production of chips for their hp and hp lines world leader in dram mostek cofounder robert proebsting invented dram address multiplexing with the mk x bit dram introduced in address multiplexing was a revolutionary approach which reduced cost and board space by fitting a k dram into a pin package while competitors took the evolutionary approach which led to a bulky and relatively expensive pin package competitors derided the mostek approach as unnecessarily complex but proebsting understood the future roadmap for dram memories would benefit greatly if only one new pin were needed for every x increase in memory size instead of the two pins per x for the evolutionary approach computer manufacturers found address multiplexing to be a compelling feature as they saw a future kb dram chip would save pins if implemented with address multiplexing and subsequent generations even more integrated circuits plus the multiplexed approach used less silicon area which further reduces chip cost the mk was produced using an nmos aluminumgate process with an added interconnect layer of polysilicon dubbed the spin process the fear uncertainty and doubt put up by the competition regarding address multiplexing was dispelled by the actual performance of the mk which proved solid and robust in all types of computer memory designs in mostek introduced the silicongate mk an improved version of the metalgated mk and the new mk kb doublepoly silicongate dram they were designed by paul schroeder who later left mostek to cofound inmos from this point until the late s mostek was a continual leader in the dram field holding as much as of the world market for dram the mk and mk were reverseengineered by mosaid and successfully cloned by many companies the k generation of drams required a transition from volt to volt operation while most competitors took a conservative approach by scaling the basic mk design and features such as controlled precharge current that were not necessary at the k node and delayed their entry into the market mostek s k dram was further delayed by a thenambitious two layer metallization design when the price for k drams collapsed mostek s k device was not ready for volume production and the company suffered heavy losses world leader in telecommunications products mostek enjoyed many years of mastery of the international market for telecommunications products their product line included telephone tone and pulse dialers touchtone decoders counters topoctave generators used by hammond baldwin and others codecs watch circuits and a host of custom products for a variety of customers the custom products used the simple pmos process and helped maintain mostek s cash flow through a smoky fire in the fab that closed it for six months intense dram competition and other semiconductor market pressures during the fab shutdown production of the pmos products was shifted to several external fabs several employees played a key role in the department assisted by charles johnson william h bradley robert c jones robert banks ted lewis darin kincaid william cummings and a host of other key employees paluck left mostek to work with sevinrosen partners and convex computer bradley designed all of the custom products based on the singlechipcalculator platform as well as the code for the wristwatch devices produced by mostek for bulova and other customers for a short while paluck headed a joint venture called mostek hong kong a collaboration with bulova for the production of highend wristwatches based on mostek designs mr bradley was an employee of that joint venture as mostek s focus was shifted to its dram products the industrial and telecommunications products were ignored and their market share vanished microprocessor second sourcing deals with this foundation in calculator chips and high volume dram production mostek gained a reputation as a leading semiconductor fabrication house fab in the early s one of their more popular products was the mostek which into a single chip which they introduced in william h bradley designed a host of custom products based on the mk fairchild later licensed the back from mostek they also produced rom chips on demand as well as the chips powering the hammond electronic organ mostek cut a deal with a startup zilog in which mostek provided fab resources to manufacture the zilog microprocessors in return for second sourcing rights to the zilog family mostek produced mk the zilog z and a series of z support chips until zilog built their own fab the z eventually became the most popular microcomputer family as it was used in millions of embedded devices as well as in many home computers and computers using the de facto standard cpm operating system such as the osborne kaypro and trs models when vin prothro president and l j sevin chairman of the board discovered that zilog had modified the recipe for z chips to keep the yields low thereby buying zilog time to partner they negotiated a deal with intel to gain second sourcing rights to the intel microprocessor family and the future x designs after sevin left to become a venture capitalist founding compaq and many other companies prothro signed another pivotal deal with motorola to gain the rights to the motorola and vme computers the intel x microprocessors would go on to become the brains for the ibm pc while the motorola would become the heart of the apple computer line mostek had secured the rights to every microprocessor family that would be important for the next years however mostek chose not to aggressively followup its entry into microprocessorsinstead maintaining its concentration on the highly competitive and thereby unprofitable dram business the decline in the face of asian competition mostek merged with united technologies in to prevent an unfriendly takeover from gould at the th anniversary of the company s founding when a large block of stock options controlled by sprague stock became vested united technologies blew their investment knowing how to build jet engines is nt the same and had no comprehension of either the upfront investment required or the long time for roi they also sacrificed their leadership position in some markets and put all of their eggs in the dram basket they eventually spent hundreds of millions trying to keep the company going during the various semiconductor and videogame crashes of the early s and eventually gave up and sold it to thomson semiconductor in for a mere million unfortunately the dram marketplace was the beachhead where japanese firms would make their successful assault on the global semiconductor market mostek was unable to match the japanese extremely aggressive pricing and succumbed during a particularly brutal price war when korean firms including samsung now the worlds largest electronics conglomerate tried to beat the japanese at their own game micron technology one of several mostek spinoffs would later bring suit to prove the japanese memory manufacturers guilty of price dumping but the ruling would be too late to save mostek in an attempt to return the company to profitability the next year they merged with sgsates to become stmicroelectronics based in geneva switzerland although by this time most of mostek s designs were no longer commercially viable their dram patents turned out to be valuable and stm started a series of lawsuits to collect royalties between and stm made million on these licenses alone mostek spinoffs jerry rogers founded cyrix in to capitalize on the mostek second source agreement that allowed any x processor to be legally copied which intel attempted to stop via lawsuits eventually after losing many legal battles intel simply changed the name of the to the pentium thereby ending the agreement micron technology was a very successful spinoff founded by a handful of mostek employees including ward parkinson dennis wilson and doug pitman citation needed

 recombinant dna rdna molecules are dna molecules formed by laboratory methods of genetic recombination such as molecular cloning to bring together genetic material from multiple sources creating sequences that would not otherwise be found in biological organisms recombinant dna is possible because dna molecules from all organisms share the same chemical structure they differ only in the nucleotide sequence within that identical overall structure introduction recombinant dna molecules are sometimes called chimeric dna because they are usually made of material from two different species like the mythical chimera rdna technology uses palindromic sequences and leads to the production of sticky and blunt ends the dna sequences used in the construction of recombinant dna molecules can originate from any species for example plant dna may be joined to bacterial dna or human dna may be joined with fungal dna in addition dna sequences that do not occur anywhere in nature may be created by the chemical synthesis of dna and incorporated into recombinant molecules using recombinant dna technology created and introduced into any of a very wide range of living organisms proteins that can result from the expression of recombinant dna within living cells are termed recombinant proteins when recombinant dna encoding a protein is introduced into a host organism the recombinant protein is not necessarily produced expression of foreign proteins requires the use of specialized expression vectors and often necessitates significant restructure by foreign coding sequence recombinant dna differs from genetic recombination in that the former results from artificial methods in the test tube while the latter is a normal biological process that results in the remixing of existing dna sequences in essentially all organisms creating recombinant dna molecular cloning is the laboratory process used to create recombinant dna it is one of two widely used methods along with polymerase chain reaction abbr pcr used to direct the replication of any specific dna sequence chosen by the experimentalist the fundamental difference between the two methods is that molecular cloning involves replication of the dna within a living cell while pcr replicates dna formation of recombinant dna requires a cloning vector a dna molecule that replicates within a living cell vectors are generally derived from plasmids or viruses and represent relatively small segments of dna that contain necessary genetic signals for replication as well as additional elements for convenience in inserting foreign dna identifying cells that contain recombinant dna and where appropriate expressing the foreign dna the choice of vector for molecular cloning depends on the choice of host organism the size of the dna to be cloned and whether and how the foreign dna is to be expressed the dna segments can be combined by using a variety of methods such as restriction enzymeligase cloning or gibson assembly in standard cloning protocols the cloning of any dna fragment essentially involves seven steps choice of host organism and cloning vector preparation of vector dna preparation of dna to be cloned creation of recombinant dna introduction of recombinant dna into containing recombinant dna and screening for clones with desired dna inserts and biological properties these steps are described in some detail in a related article molecular cloning expression of recombinant dna following transplantation into the host organism the foreign dna contained within the recombinant dna construct may or may not be expressed that is the dna may simply be replicated without expression or it may be transcribed and translated so that a recombinant protein is produced generally speaking expression of a foreign gene requires restructuring the gene to include sequences that are required for producing an mrna molecule that can be used by the host s translational apparatus eg promoter translational initiation signal and transcriptional terminator specific changes to the host organism may be made to improve expression of the ectopic gene in addition changes may be needed to the coding sequences as well to optimize translation make the protein soluble direct the recombinant protein to the proper cellular or extracellular properties of organisms containing recombinant dna in most cases organisms containing recombinant dna have apparently normal phenotypes that is their appearance behavior and metabolism are usually unchanged and the only way to demonstrate the presence of recombinant sequences is to examine the dna itself typically using a polymerase chain reaction pcr test significant exceptions exist and are discussed below if the rdna sequences encode a gene that is expressed then the presence of rna andor protein products of the recombinant gene can be detected typically using rtpcr or western hybridization methods gross phenotypic changes are not the norm unless the recombinant gene has been chosen and modified so as to generate biological activity in the host organism additional phenotypes that are encountered include toxicity to the host organism induced by the recombinant gene product especially if it is overexpressed or expressed within inappropriate cells or tissues in some cases recombinant dna can have deleterious effects even if it is not expressed one mechanism by which this happens is insertional inactivation cell s gene in some cases researchers use this phenomenon to knock out genes to determine their biological function and importance another mechanism by which rdna insertion into chromosomal dna can affect gene expression is by inappropriate activation of previously unexpressed host cell genes this can happen for example when a recombinant dna fragment containing an active promoter becomes located next to a previously silent host cell gene or when a host cell gene that functions to restrain gene expression undergoes insertional inactivation by recombinant dna applications of recombinant dna technology recombinant dna is widely used in biotechnology medicine and research today recombinant proteins and other products that result from the use of rdna technology are found in essentially every western pharmacy doctor s or veterinarian s office medical testing laboratory and biological research laboratory in addition organisms that have been manipulated using recombinant dna technology as well as products derived from those organisms have found their way into many farms supermarkets home medicine cabinets and even pet genetically modified animals the most common application of recombinant dna is in basic research in which the technology is important to most current work in the biological and biomedical sciences recombinant dna is used to identify map and sequence genes and to determine their function rdna probes are employed in analyzing gene expression within individual cells and throughout the tissues of whole organisms recombinant proteins are widely used as reagents in laboratory experiments and to generate antibody probes for examining protein synthesis within cells and organisms many additional practical applications of recombinant dna are found in industry food production human and veterinary medicine agriculture and bioengineering some specific examples are identified below recombinant chymosin found in rennet is an enzyme required to manufacture cheese it was the first genetically engineered food additive used commercially traditionally processors obtained chymosin from rennet a preparation derived from the fourth stomach of milkfed calves scientists engineered a nonpathogenic strain k of e coli bacteria for largescale laboratory identical structurally to the calf derived enzyme costs less and is produced in abundant quantities today about of us hard cheese is made with genetically engineered chymosin in fda granted chymosin toolong gras status based on data showing that the enzyme was safe recombinant human insulin almost completely replaced insulin obtained from animal sources eg pigs and cattle for the treatment of insulindependent diabetes a variety of different recombinant insulin preparations are in widespread use recombinant insulin is synthesized by inserting the human insulin gene into e coli which then produces insulin for human use recombinant human growth hormone hgh somatotropin administered to patients whose pituitary glands generate insufficient quantities to support normal growth and development before recombinant hgh became available hgh for therapeutic use was obtained from pituitary glands of cadavers this unsafe practice led to some patients developing creutzfeldtjacob disease recombinant hgh eliminated this problem and is now used therapeutically it has also been misused as recombinant blood clotting factor viii a bloodclotting protein that is administered to patients with forms of the bleeding disorder hemophilia who are unable to produce factor viii in quantities sufficient to support normal blood coagulation before the development of recombinant factor viii the protein was obtained by processing large quantities of human blood from multiple donors which carried a very high risk of transmission of blood borne infectious diseases for example hiv and hepatitis b recombinant hepatitis b vaccine hepatitis b infection is controlled through the use of a recombinant hepatitis b vaccine which contains a form of the hepatitis b virus surface antigen that is produced in yeast cells the development of the recombinant subunit vaccine was an important and necessary development because hepatitis b virus unlike other common viruses such as polio virus can not be grown in vitro diagnosis of infection with hiv each of the three widely used methods for diagnosing hiv infection has been developed using recombinant dna the antibody test elisa or western blot uses a recombinant the body has produced in response to an hiv infection the dna test looks for the presence of hiv genetic material using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction rtpcr development of the rtpcr test was made possible by the molecular cloning and sequence analysis of hiv genomes golden rice a recombinant variety of rice that has been engineered to express the enzymes responsible for carotene biosynthesis this variety of rice holds substantial promise for reducing the incidence of vitamin a deficiency in the world s population golden rice is not currently in use pending the resolution of regulatory issues herbicideresistant crops commercial varieties of important agricultural crops including soy maizecorn sorghum canola alfalfa and cotton have been developed that incorporate a recombinant gene that results in resistance to the herbicide glyphosate trade name roundup and simplifies weed control by glyphosate application these crops are in common commercial use in several countries insectresistant crops bacillus thuringeiensis is a bacterium insecticidal properties the bacterium has been applied to crops as an insectcontrol strategy for many years and this practice has been widely adopted in agriculture and gardening recently plants have been developed that express a recombinant form of the bacterial protein which may effectively control some insect predators environmental issues associated with the use of these transgenic crops have not been fully resolved history of recombinant dna the idea of recombinant dna was first proposed by peter lobban a graduate student of prof dale kaiser in the biochemistry department at stanford university medical school the first publications describing the successful production and intracellular replication of recombinant dna appeared in and stanford university applied for a us patent on recombinant dna in listing the inventors as stanley n cohen and herbert w boyer this patent was awarded in the first licensed drug generated using recombinant dna technology was human insulin developed by genentech and licensed by eli lilly and company controversy scientists associated with the initial development of recombinant recombinant dna to have undesirable or dangerous properties at the asilomar conference on recombinant dna these concerns were discussed and a voluntary moratorium on recombinant dna research was initiated for experiments that were considered particularly risky this moratorium was widely observed until the national institutes of health usa developed and issued formal guidelines for rdna work today recombinant dna molecules and recombinant proteins are usually not regarded as dangerous however concerns remain about some organisms that express recombinant dna particularly when they leave the laboratory and are introduced into the environment or food chain these concerns are discussed in the articles on genetically modified organisms and genetically modified food controversies 
 throwdown is an american straight edge metallic hardcore band from orange county california formed in they have toured as part of ozzfest sounds of the underground hellfest and warped tour and with

the idea of cover a hip hop song was a collaboration between macaluso and love originally they wanted to cover house of pain s jump around then the band decided there was too much in the song as they felt that hip hop songs are hard to cover peters said sir mixalot was easy and funny and that s what we re all about playing easy stuff and trying to be funny the following year barney expressed a

 date october the haun s mill massacre was an event in the history of the latter day saint movement it occurred on october when a mobmilitia unit from livingston county missouri attacked a mormon settlement in eastern caldwell county missouri united states after the battle of crooked river by far the bloodiest event in the mormon war in missouri it has long been remembered by the members of the latter day saint movement the fiftyfive attackers known by name to be involved were never prosecuted haun s mill haun s mill was a mill established on the banks of shoal creek in fairview township caldwell county missouri in by jacob haun hawn who was not a mormon however by october there were approximately mormon families living along the banks of shoal creek about of them in the immediate vicinity of haun s mill and the blacksmith shop missouri militia the militia involved in of livingston county at the time of the attack it consisted of men from daviess livingston ray carroll and chariton counties and included prominent men such as charles ashby of the missouri state legislature and thomas o byron clerk of livingston county although the massacre took place a few days after missouri s governor lilburn boggs issued his infamous extermination order most historians have now concluded that the militia unit had neither the time nor the opportunity to have received news of the order truce the threat posed by the growing strength and animosity of the missouri militia caused considerable concern among the mormon settlers at haun s mill they held a council on sunday october and decided to organize a defensive force men were armed and held in readiness against an attack that same evening one of the militia groups sent a representative who negotiated a truce with the settlers monday the th and most of tuesday the th passed without incident massacre on into the community david evans a leader in the community ran towards the militia waving his hat and calling for peace alerted to the militia s approach most of the latterday saint women and children fled into the woods to the south while most of the men headed to the blacksmith shop unfortunately the building was a particularly vulnerable structure as the widely spaced logs made it easy for the attackers to fire inside the shop became a deathtrap since the militia gave no quarter firing about one hundred rifle and musket shots into the building after the initial attack several of those who had been wounded or had surrendered were shot dead members of the militia entered the shop and found tenyearold sardius smith eightyear old alma smith and nineyearold charles merrick hiding under the blacksmith s bellows alma and charles were shot charles later died and william reynolds put his musket against sardius s skull and blew off the top of his head killing him reynolds he had lived he would have become a mormon seventyeightyearold thomas mcbride surrendered his musket to militiaman jacob rogers who then shot mcbride and hacked his body apart with a corn knife several other bodies were mutilated or clothing stolen while many women were assaulted houses were robbed wagons tents and clothing were stolen and horses and livestock were driven off leaving the surviving women and children destitute by the end of the massacre at least seventeen mormons were dead hiram abbott elias benner john byers alexander campbell simon cox josiah fuller austin hammer john lee benjamin lewis thomas mcbride charley merrick levi merrick william napier george s richards sardius smith warren smith and john york thirteen more had been injured including a woman and nineyearold child a nonmormon sympathizer was also killed three of the militiamen were wounded but none fatally after the massacre covered with dirt and straw the survivors and their wounded gathered at far west for protection aftermath after the massacre philo dibble stated that brother joseph had sent word by haun who owned the mill to inform the brethren who were living there to leave and come to far west but mr haun did not deliver the message of the matter joseph smith recorded up to this day god had given me wisdom to save the people who took counsel none had ever been killed who abode by my counsel then he recorded that innocent lives could have been saved at hauns mill had his counsel been received and followed it appears that haun had received the direction to relocate to far west from joseph smith and did not convey this direction to any of the others at haun s mill although participants in the massacre boasted of their acts for years none of the missouri attackers were ever brought to trial and the latter day saints efforts at receiving justice in the massacre are maintained as a historic site by the community of christ in may it was announced that the the church of jesus christ of latterday saints had acquired the property from the community of christ the church had also acquired the far west burying ground from the community of christ this event was dramatized in the latterday saint film legacy

 shooto is a mixed martial arts organization that is governed by the shooto association and the international shooto commission shooto was originally formed in as an organization and as a particular fighting system derived from shoot wrestling practitioners are referred to as shooters similarly to practitioners of shoot wrestling shooto rules have evolved such that their events are now true mixed martial arts competitions the word shooto is an english transliteration of pronounced shto an ateji derived from the english word shoot the word can be translated as learn combat history shooto was established as a new martial arts shinkakutgi in by satoru sayama the original tiger mask a japanese professional wrestler trained in shoot wrestling who wished to create a sport that revolved around a realistic and effective fighting system after its establishment new martial arts was renamed shooting which came from shoot a term of professional wrestling avoid confusion with shooting sports compared to the other professional wrestling organizations of the time such as the new japan pro wrestling and the universal wrestling federation japan shooto was aimed at having no predetermined results the first amateur event was held in and the first professional event in the shooto organization hosted the vale tudo japan tournament in the summer of previously to this tournament shooto did not feature punches to the face in a ground position but after seeing effective usage of punching by foreign participants sayama decided to incorporate these striking techniques into shooto in april world shooto the shooto association and the international shooto commission were formed this marked the end of shooto as a single organization and turned it into a combat sport with governing bodies since establishment of isc the champions of shooto are called world champion vale tudo japan events were it was announced that vale tudo japan would return for the first time in ten years on october shooto was brought to america in the late s by top student of satoru sayama yorinaga nakamura he began teaching shooto at the inosanto academy in and is the instructor of erik paulson ron balicki dan inosanto larry hartsell and many others there has been an ongoing effort to bring shooto competition to the united states and canada that has been spearheaded by rich santoro he was officially named

named others involved in the plot brusca had the boy kidnapped in november according to the confession of one of the kidnappers gaspare spatuzza they dressed as police officers and told the boy he was being taken to see his father who at that time was being kept under police protection on mainland italy instead they held the boy for months during which time they tortured him and sent grisly photos to his father in an attempt to force him to retract his testimony di matteo made a desperate trip to sicily to try to negotiate his son s release but the boy was finally strangled on the orders of brusca subsequently he had the body dissolved in a barrel of acid to prevent the family being able to mourn at a proper funeral this deliberate added indignity of concealing or destroying the victim s body is known colloquially as the lupara bianca it also hinders investigation by destroying evidence di matteo told the judge i guarantee my collaboration but to this animal i guarantee nothing if you leave me alone with him for two minutes i ll cut off his head giovanni brusca was one of the most powerful mafia leaders between riinas arrest in january and his own in may he was involved in the campaign of terror in against the state to get them to back off in their crackdown against the mafia after the murders of antimafia magistrates giovanni falcone and paolo borsellino following the months after riina s arrest there were a series of bombings by the corleonesi against several tourist spots on the italian mainland the via dei georgofili in florence via palestro in milan and the piazza san giovanni in laterano and via san teodoro in rome which left people dead and injured as well as severe damage to centres of cultural heritage such as the uffizi gallery arrest on may then aged thirtynine brusca was arrested in a small house in with his girlfriend their young son and his brother vincenzo his sisterinlaw and their two children the investigators were able to pinpoint their exact location when the noise of a plainclothes officer driving by the house on a motorbike was picked up by officers listening to a call intercepted on brusca s cellular phone when brusca was hurried into palermo s police station some minutes after the arrest dozens of police officers cheered honked their horns and embraced each other as the scruffybearded brusca emerged from a car clad in dirty jeans and a rumpled white shirt some ripped off their ski masks as if to say they no longer had anything to fear from the mafia one reportedly managed to slip past guards and punched brusca in the face brusca had received a life sentence the previous year after being convicted in absentia of murder and he was subsequently convicted of the bomb attack that killed the antimafia magistrate giovanni falcone near capaci in court brusca admitted detonating the bomb planted remote control while watching the magistrates convoy through binoculars from a hill collaborating with italian justice after his arrest brusca started to collaborate initially his collaboration met with scepticism fearing his repentance could be a ruse to escape the harsh prison terms reserved for ranking mafia bosses under question was whether the state should offer not only protection but also a salary and the promise of judicial leniency to a man nicknamed u verru the pig who had punished a mafia pentito by dissolving the body of his yearold son in an acid bath in the first three months much of what brusca said turned out to be either unverifiable or false and a growing chorus of politicians called for a tightening of the whole collaboration system despite having confessed numerous murders and other criminal activities he was not granted the status of full collaborator until february until that time brusca was described as a dichiarante or talking witness although much of his evidence eventually was was part of a strategy to emasculate other pentiti and subvert the course of justice brusca has offered a controversial version of the capture of tot riina a secret deal between carabinieri officers secret agents and cosa nostra bosses tired of the dictatorship of the corleonesi according to brusca bernardo provenzano sold riina in exchange for the valuable archive of compromising material that riina held in his apartment in via bernini in palermo brusca also claimed that riina had told him that after the assassination of falcone he had been in indirect negotiations with interior minister nicola mancino on a deal to prevent any further killings mancino later said this was not true but in july mancino was ordered to stand trial for withholding evidence on talks between the italian state and the mafia and the killings of falcone and borsellino in it was reported that brusca was allowed out of prison for one week every fortyfive days to see his family a reward for his good behaviour as well as becoming an informant victims were angry at such seemingly soft treatment for a

 in academia writing and publishing is conducted in several sets of forms and genres this article provides a short summary of the full spectrum of critical amp academic writing and lists the genres of academic writing it does not cover the variety of critical approaches that can be applied when one writes about a subject however as harwood and hadley and hyland have pointed out the amount of variation that exists between different disciplines may mean that we can not refer to a single academic literacy writing in these forms or styles is usually written in an impersonal and dispassionate tone targeted for a critical and informed audience based on closely investigated knowledge and intended to reinforce or challenge concepts or arguments it usually circulates within the academic world the academy but the academic writer may also find an audience outside via journalism speeches pamphlets etc typically scholarly writing has an objective stance clearly states the significance so that other scholars may try to replicate the results strong papers are not overly general and correctly utilize formal academic rhetoric while academic writing consists of a number of text types and genres what they have in common the conventions that academic writers traditionally follow has been a subject of debate many writers have called for conventions to be challenged for example pennycook and ivanic while others suggest that some conventions should be maintained for example clark p discourse community a discourse community is essentially a group of people that shares mutual interests and beliefs it establishes limits and regularities who may speak what may be spoken and how it is to be said in addition rules prescribe what is true and false what is reasonable and what foolish and what is meant and what not porter people are generally involved in a variety of discourse communities within their private social and professional established boundaries while others may have a looser construction with greater freedom additionally discourse communities have approved channels of communication in which members write or speak through these channels can be a web page a journal a blog or any medium people use to communicate through examples of discourse communities may include but certainly not limited to medicine law psychology films movies general forums technology sociology philosophy chemistry physics mathematics writing rhetoric and composition the concept of discourse community is vital to academic writers across nearly all disciplines for the academic writers purpose is to influence a discourse community to think a little bit differently at the same time the discourse community does not expect to see any writing that appears too foreign for this reason the academic writer must follow the constraints see article section below set by the discourse community so his or her ideas earn approval and respect discourse community constraints constraints are the discourse communitys written how he or she can say it they define what is an acceptable argument each discourse community expects to see a writer construct his or her argument using their conventional style of language and vocabulary and they expect a writer to use the established intertext within the discourse community as the building blocks for his or her argument academic writing writing for a discourse community in order for a writer to become familiar with some of the constraints of the discourse community they are writing for a useful tool for the academic writer is to analyze prior work from the discourse community the writer should look at the textual moves in these papers focusing on how they are constructed across most discourses communities writers will establish the novelty of their position make a claim or thesis acknowledge prior work and situate their claim in a disciplinary context offer warrants for one s view based on communityspecific arguments and procedures hyland each of the moves listed above are constructed differently depending on the discourse community the claim is made in a high school paper would look very different from the way a claim is made in a college composition class it is important for the academic writer to familiarize himself or herself with the conventions of the discourse community by reading and analyzing other works so that the writer is best able to communicate his or her ideas porter contrary to some beliefs this is by no means plagiarism writers should also be aware of other ways in which the discourse community shapes their writing other functions of the discourse community include determining what makes a novel argument and what a fact is the following sections elaborate on these functions misconceptions fact and opinion in the discourse community it is important for any writer to distinguish between what is accepted as fact and what is accepted as opinion wikipedias article fact misguides writers in their interpretation of what a fact actually is the article states that a fact derived from the latin factum see below is something that has toolong but this is not how writers think of facts writing professionals hold that in a rhetorical argument a fact is a claim that an audience will accept as being true without requiring proof facts can be thought of merely as claims the audience can be thought of as a discourse community and a fact can suddenly change to become an opinion if stated in a different discourse community this is how writers within discourse communities manage to present new ideas to their communities any new opinion would need to be proven by making a rhetorical argument in which the writer would weave together what his or her intended audience will accept as facts in a way that supports his or her idea therefore knowing the intended discourse community is a very important part of writing across discourse communities what is considered factual may fluctuate across each community as elizabeth wardle and douglas downs wrote in their book writing about writing in reference to margaret kantzs article helping students use argument within discourse communities writers build on top of the ideas established by previous writers one of the most common misconceptions about writing is the idea of the lonely writer that great writers papers are filled almost entirely with original ideas and messages but this is simply not the case discourse communities introduce new ideas and claims and from these writers expand on them james porter a scholar of rhetoric at indiana university uses the declaration of independence as an example to illustrate this point porter points out that jefferson merely pulled the phrase that all men are created equal straight from his commonplace book he made as a boy porter also points out that life liberty and the pursuit of happiness was a cliche of the times appearing in numerous political documents in fact according to porter almost nothing in the declaration of independence was written originally by jefferson jefferson wrote this great work by weaving together the intertext of his discourse community as greene describes in his thought of metaphorically as a conversation between those in the discourse community the metaphor of conversation emphasizes the social nature of writing greene just like in a conversation when you listen to the ideas of the others who are involved and formulate your own opinion on the topic a writer may be reading a paper done by another writer in the discourse community and from this paper the scholar may obtain inspiration to expand the claims expressed in the paper or address them from other angles like the verbal conversations you have with others effective arguments never take place in a vacuum they take into account previous conversations that have taken place about the subject under discussion greene good academic writers know the importance of researching previous work from within the discourse community and using this work to build their own claims by taking these ideas and expanding upon them or applying them in a new way a writer is able to make their novel argument intertextuality in academic writing intertextuality is the text the term intertextuality was coined in by julia kristeva all texts are necessarily related to prior texts through a network of links writers often unwittingly make use of what has previously been written and thus some degree of borrowing is inevitable this generally occurs within a specific discourse community conversation factoring in intertextuality the goal of academic writing is not simply creating new ideas but to offer a new perspective and link between already established ideas this is why gathering background information and having past knowledge is so important in academic writing a common metaphor used to describe academic writing is entering the conversation a conversation that began long before you got there and will continue long after you leave a quote from kenneth burke encapsulates this metaphor intertextuality plays into this because without it there would be no conversations just hundreds of thousands of writings not connected or able to build on each other the listening until you can join the conversation can be seen as doing research all instead of selfknowledge this can be connected to the part of the metaphor where no one in the parlor is qualified to bring you up to speed just as the papers your researched were researched also types of intertextuality there are two distinct types of intertextuality as defined by porter iterability and presupposition iterability is the capability of a text to be reiterated and repeated in various contexts iterability is explicitly seen in texts as opposed to presupposition which refers to assumptions a text makes one such example of this concept from porter is the declaration of independence many texts and ideas of different centuries were integrated into the one document jefferson took the idea of john lockes social contract theory the declaration of rights for virginia by george mason and the form of the english bill of rights in into the declaration of independence some claimed that this was blatant plagiarism but others say it was iterability he used the form of a list of grievances as used in the english bill quotes can be reiterated but also the form of a text when thomas jefferson proposed the declaration to congress they made changes to his actual original ideas because they were so farfetched from the current discourse community this is an example of the constraint a discourse community can place on a text presupposition is the process by which implications are made without being specifically stated or explained within text these assumptions are usually extremely basic thoughts made by a vast majority of the audience such thoughts may be considered common sense or otherwise obvious to anyone who reads the text example rodrigo rode his bike to his friends house this simple statement implies several facts that the reader automatically assumes rodrigo owns a bike he has a friend his friend has a house his house is within biking distance and rodrigo has the ability to ride a bike details can be added or removed by an author to give more or less creative license to the readers themselves in this case one reader could believe it to be blue because the assumptions made by different readers can be drastically different from one another it is important that the framework the author provides is sufficient to keep the assumptions that are crucial to the story itself constant between readers example it was dark and stormy night this statement is iterated as a clich opening to a story the statement provides an opening for a fictional narrative while simultaneously implying an ominous foreboding setting when opening a story with this line the author is able to instantly set a mood and tone before the story truly begins giving the reader a sense that the story is already in progress examples of intertextuality ulysses ulysses a novel written by james joyce in is an example of intertextuality because the themes largely shadow those of homers odyssey an ancient greek epic poem ulysses uses the plot line from the odyssey and retells it with a new character in a new setting thus using past writings to create the classic disney movie aladdin has many distinct examples of intertextuality throughout for example one scene depicts the genie that comes out of aladdins lamp being pinched by a crab the same crab from another popular disney movie the little mermaid in another scene the two main characters are flying through the sky on a magic carpet and for a moment zeuss temple from the movie hercules can be seen in the background these are examples of intertextuality because they pull from past disney works and use them to create something new and original west side story west side story is an example of intertextuality in that it is the modern retelling of shakespeares tragedy of romeo amp juliet tony romeo and maria juliet are both in love however their families and the rival groups with which their loyalty lies forbid their love west side story uses themes from romeo and juliet such as forbidden love and a tragic ending to create a new original story a frame is the section in an academic paper in which a perspective that has already been accepted by a specific discourse community is presented in order to blatantly explain to the reader the point of view from which the rest of the essay will be analyzed because of the established framework the reader will logically understand the progression of the writers argument because the writer has legitimized his or her claim by citing an accepted theory framework and thus the reader will be directed towards a particular conclusion when one uses an academic concept that has been accepted by the discourse community as a frame this frame forces you to offer both a definition and description of the principle around which your argument develops greene as stuart greene explains framing is a metaphor for describing the lens or perspective from which writers present their arguments one can think of a frame as metaphorical glasses that are put on in order to see a topic in a new way for example if one is trying to put on the glasses of sigmund freud and approach said topic from his psychoanalytical point of view this frame has allowed the writer to see a topic from a particular angle this means that one may be disregarding the socioeconomic biological or other lenses from which one could view a particular topic you are using the one frame of psychoanalysis to shape your argument and make an impression on the reader an academic frame does not give the topic a bias per se as the argument is not presented in a false way the frame does however allow the writer to focus the readers attention in one specific direction in order to reach a specific conclusion see establishing a novel idea framing in the discourse community intertextuality establishing a place in the conversation a frame also establishes credibility for the author in a certain field of study or discourse community a discourse community can be composed of medical professionals historians or even the individuals that make up the author is telling the discourse community that he or she is aware of what is current in the discourse and that the paper being presented has something relevant to add without a frame a paper is not grounded in any particular community and thus has no academic relevance or any legitimate importance to an academic audience the framing concept that one chooses to use has already been accepted by the community and is thus a part of their intertextual matrix a welldeveloped frame is the doorway into an academic conversation that has been going on for quite some time before ones arrival and is still vigorously in progress after the new argument has been established burke qtd in greene if one guides the members of a specific discourse through a paper using an idea that the community already holds as true the new argument is more likely to gain acceptance from the audience as they understand where it is coming from establishing a novel idea a paper is not about the frame itself the purpose of an frame it but rather to use the frame as a tool a pair of glasses to see a unique claim as molded in a certain light no text stands alone as the individual writers work is part of a web part of a community search for truth and meaning porter in essence a writer does not randomly come up with new ideas but writes about already established concepts in novel ways this is where the frame comes in without a frame an author is simply making a statement one which has most likely already been made throughout the history of the topic or within the discourse however a frame gives you a way to look at your statement an explanation for phenomena and therefore questions to ask and research it is the frame that allows one to establish the argument because it gives a tired topic new life or novelty warning do nt get lost in the scholars voice many people have trouble creating a new claim out they read them as stories kantz by doing so one could accidentally wind up regurgitating information that a scholarly article explains instead of using the information or concepts read as a frame to further develop ones own argument make sure to relate the framework back to your original claim the issue that you are addressing again the frame is not the central focus of a paper but rather a point of view from which to examine a topic by incorporating this scholarly information into your paper and relating it to your own claim you are maintaining the novelty of your argument example framework and analysis this section will guide one through an example of framework as it is being used in a published academic paper one will observe how the sections on framework written above apply to a real world example the following excerpt is from an essay by firstyear writing student shannon baldo entitled elves and extremism the use of fantasy in the radical environmentalist movement this essay was written for under the section entitled first year writing all articles in the young scholars in writing journal focus on some aspect of rhetoric or the art of persuasion in speaking and writing in shannon baldos essay the frame of fantasythemed criticism is immediately defined in the introduction of her essay baldo quickly explains ernest g bormanns academically accepted idea of fantasythemed criticism to include first that a persons reality is created by communication and language and second that this communication can create a shared reality among many participantsthat allows them to see themselves as heroes or villains and their actions as just or unjust foss qtd in baldo when observing the extreme environmentalist movement on a whole one may conclude that environmental extremists are naturally crazy driven to rage as they were not given enough attention as children etc by choosing the framework of fantasythemed criticism baldo is narrowing this field of frames down to one way of viewing the movement she then uses specifics about the movement as seen in their literature to explain that it is fantasy rhetoric that affects the environmentalist movement specifically as observed in the selected paragraph above baldo uses the framework of fantasythemed criticism to argue her own topic it is the fantasythemed rhetoric of the environmental movement that allows environmentalists to justify their radical actions baldo does not focus her paper on fantasythemed criticism in general but uses it as a skeleton upon which to mold her argument about environmentalism specifically without bormanns concept being accepted within the discourse community baldo would not have had the credibility with which to speak to an academic audience or a way in which to argue her point instead she would have only been able to state her opinion academic document types book in many types and varieties chapter in an edited volume book report conference paper dissertation usually between and words in length essay usually short between and words in length explication a particular work eg its terminology dialect allusions or coded references research article research paper longer essay involving

 the tara brooch is a celtic brooch of about ad generally considered to be the most impressive of over elaborate irish brooches to have been discovered it was found in and rapidly recognised as one of the most important works of early christian irish insular art it is now displayed in the national museum of ireland in dublin history created in about ad the seveninch long pseudopenannular brooch is composed primarily of silvergilt and is embellished with intricate abstract decoration including interlace on both front and back it was made in many pieces with much of the decoration on small trays or panels which were then fixed into place when it was found only one panel of decoration was missing but several more have now disappeared apparently before when it entered the collection of the royal irish academy who later transferred their collection of antiquities to the new national museum the design the techniques of workmanship including filigree and inlaying and the gold silver and exemplify the advanced state of goldsmithing in ireland in the seventh century the brooch has a pseudopenannular form like most brooches of the period it contains neither christian nor pagan religious motifs and was made for a wealthy patron almost certainly male who wanted a personal expression of status it is probably the most spectacular and one of the best preserved of several dozen highstatus brooches found in britain or ireland but mostly in ireland although similar in style each has a completely individual design in detail precious metals are used but only semiprecious stones although the brooch is named after the hill of tara traditionally seen as the seat of the high kings of ireland the tara brooch has no connection to either the hill of tara or the high kings of ireland the brooch was supposedly found in august on the beach at bettystown near laytown county meath some km mi north of dublin the finder a peasant woman found it in a box buried in the sand though many think it was in fact found inland and she claimed it was found at the beach to avoid a legal claim by the landowner it was sold to a dealer and then to the dublin jeweller george waterhouse who was already producing celtic revival jewellery and who renamed it the tara brooch to make it more appealing celtic revival jewellery had become very fashionable over the previous decade and the discovery of the brooch could hardly have been better timed from this point of view the brooch was immediately recognised as the culminating masterpiece though early in date of the irish development of large and superbly worked ornate brooches a status it has retained ever since waterhouse used it as the centre of displays of his replicas and imitations of celtic brooches in his dublin shop also exhibiting it at the great exhibition in london in and the paris exposition universelle as well as the dublin exhibition visited by the queen in victoria had already seen for her inspection waterhouse had invented the brooch s name choosing to link it to the site associated with the high kings of ireland fully aware that this would feed the irish middleclass fantasy of being descended from them by the time the brooch passed to what is now the national museum of ireland in the s tara brooch had become a generic term for celtic revival brooches some of which were now being made by indian workshops for export to europe

 stefan lochner or ampndash was a german painter working in the late gothic style he was active in cologne germany and is best known for the altar of the city patrons triptych painted for the town hall chapel in the s and now in cologne cathedral lochner was one of the most important german artist before albrecht drer an artist who held lochner in great esteem and is most identified with continuing his legacy lochner was one the last major painters working in the soft style weicher still of the international gothic tradition his work is known for its clean appearance virtuoso surface textures and innovative iconography he was praised by friedrich schlegel and goethe for the sweetness and grace of his madonna portraits his paintings combine a gothic tendency towards long flowing lines in brilliant colours with a flemishinfluenced realism and attention to detail lochner s compositions often include fanciful angels singing and playing musical instruments of monumental works he seems to have had knowledge of metal work given his realistic deceptions of objects such as the magi s gifts in the cologne altarpiece life the known details of lochner life are extremely scant he is thought to have come from meersburg near lake constance as his parents georg and alhet are recorded as having died there in however his style bears no traces of the art of that region his talent was recognised from an early age and he trained as a painter in the netherlands under a master whose name is now lost while there he may have been influenced by the work of jan van eyck and rogier van der weyden elements of their styles can be detected in his later works although neither is thought to be the master under whom he had studied lochner had moved to cologne by when he was commissioned by the city council for decorations in connection with the celebration of the visit of emperor frederick iii he in the city were he was known as maister steffan lochner bought a house around with his wife lysbeth in he was able to afford to sell it for a larger property near saint alban church he was elected town councilor by the painters guild in and around he seems to have encountered financial difficulties forcing him to remortgage his house there are no surviving records of him after christmas his parents died at the end of that year and it is known he was unable to travel to meersburg to attend to their will and estate it is presumed he was then already ill and died shortly thereafter cologne was undergoing an outbreak of plague that year and the area lochner was living in was particularly affected however it is not know if this was his cause of death work there are no signed paintings by lochner and no works were attributed to the historical person until jf bhmer identified him with the painter of the article published in he based his attribution on a mention of a visit to cologne in in the diary of albrecht drer during a recount of the earlier artist paying to see an altarpiece by maister steffan bhmer identified this as the altar of the city patrons and maister steffan as the documented stefan lochner over the years on stylistic grounds others paintings have been attributed to him however in recent years some art historians have questioned that the diary entry was authentically made by drer he gave his figures the common idealised facial features traditional of early medieval portraiture esdically his female subjects have the usual high foreheads long noses small rounded chins tucked blond curls and prominent ears typically of late gothic he sets these rather traditional characters within innovative and highly active monumental settings the main feature that defines his work as superior lochner s major works were polyptychs which like many th century religious pieces were over the centuries broken apart there are two dated versions of the presentation in the temple one in the calouste gulbenkian museum and another in the hessisches landesmuseum darmstadt two wings from an altarpiece with images of saints now in the national gallery are in london and the wallrafrichartz museum cologne and an altarpiece from the church of st

 the symphony no in c major op was the final published symphony of jean sibelius completed in the seventh is notable for being a onemovement symphony in contrast to the standard symphonic formula of four movements it has been described as completely original in form subtle in its handling of tempi individual in its treatment of key and wholly organic in growth and sibelius s most remarkable compositional achievement after sibelius finished its composition on march the work was premiered in stockholm on march as fantasia sinfonica no a symphonic fantasy the composer was apparently undecided on what name to give the piece and only granted it status as a symphony after some deliberation for its publication on february the score was titled symphony no in one movement composition the concept of a continuous singlemovement symphony was one sibelius only reached after a long process of experimentation his symphony no plans for this symphony as involving joy of life and vitality with appassionato sections the symphony would have three movements the last being a hellenic rondo surviving sketches from the early s show that the composer was working on a work of four not three movements the overall key seems to have been g minor while the second movement an adagio in c major provided much of the material for the themes that eventually made up the symphony the first surviving draft of a singlemovement symphony dates from suggesting that sibelius may have made the decision to dispense with a multimovement work at this time through the summer of the composer produced several further drafts at least one of which is in a performable state however the ending of the symphony was not yet fully worked out as turned into sibelius was distracted from his work on the symphony by a number of outside events the award of a large cash prize from a helsinki foundation brief piano works when he returned to the seventh the composer drank copious amounts of whisky in order he claimed to steady his hand as he wrote on the manuscript paper along with his fifth and sixth symphonies the seventh was sibelius s final home for material from kuutar a nevercompleted symphonic poem whose title roughly means moon spiritess this work helped to shape the earliest parts of the seventh those created during the composition of the fifth and sixth one of the themes from kuutar called thtl where the stars dwell evolved into part of the seventh s opening adagio section importance although the seventh apparently first existed in embryonic form in d major it eventually attained the home key of c major there was a time when composing in c was considered fruitlessit had nothing more to offer but in response to the seventh the british composer ralph vaughan williams said that only sibelius could make c major seventh in the segerstamchandos cycle of sibelius symphonies calls the dramatic conclusion the grandest celebration of c major there ever was sibelius lived for years after finishing the seventh but it was one of the last works he composed he did complete one more important orchestral work his symphonic poem tapiola however despite much evidence of work on an eighth symphony it is believed that sibelius burned whatever he had written he left the seventh to stand as his final statement on symphonic form form the form of the seventh symphony is startlingly original since the time of joseph haydn a movement in a symphony would typically be unified by an approximately constant tempo and would attain variety by use of contrasting themes in different keys sibelius turned this scheme on its head the seventh symphony is unified by the key of c every significant passage in the work is in c major or c minor and variety is achieved by an almost constantly changing tempo texture sibelius had done something similar in the fifth symphony s first movement which combines elements of a standard symphonic first movement with a faster scherzo however the seventh symphony contains much wider variety within one movement instrumentation flutes both switch to piccolo during the central adagio oboes clarinets in b flat bassoons horns in f trumpets in b flat trombones timpani and strings description adagio bb the symphony begins with a soft roll on the timpani followed by a slow ascending syncopated c major scale starting on the timpani s g in the strings which leads to an unexpected chord in the remote key of a minor the interval of a minor sixth between the initial note of g and the final note of e has been interpreted as a reference to the beginning of wagner s tristan und isolde the passage is followed by chords taken from that work announced quietly on the flute and repeated on the clarinet we soon arrive at a passage sounding rather like a chorale with the violas and cellos softly singing a hymnlike tune that will gradually build up to the first climax of the symphony as the climax approaches the orchestra adds volume and intensity at the climax the first trombone announces the main tune of the symphony labelled aino in sketches after the composer s wife this theme reappears at key moments of the symphony each time reaffirming c as the tonality un pochett meno adagio ampndash poco affrett ampndash poco a poco affrettando il tempo al vivacissimo ampndash rallentando al bb at bar the tempo is marked un pochett meno adagio read un pochettino meno adagio a little less slowly a new theme in the dorian mode based on the ascending scale in the opening bars soon appears on the oboe the tempo gradually long sequential passage exploring several tonalities at bar the time signature slips from into notching up the tension the key signature switches to c minor soon the tempo is ratcheted up to vivacissimo very lively with fast staccato chords traded between the strings and woodwind the music turns stormy in mood with ominous ascending and descending scales on the strings while the aino theme is heard again in the brass adagio ampndash poco a poco meno lento al bb allegro molto moderato ampndash un pochett affrettando bb allegro moderato ampndash poco a poco meno moderato bb vivace bb presto ampndash poco a poco rallentando al bb adagio bb largamente molto ampndash affettuoso bb this section ends with a chord progression from a back to the symphony s main key of c major taken from kuolema tempo i bb the last four measures return to the initial adagio tempo logically this ought to be faster than the preceding music which was adagio then largamente molto broadening that is slowing a lot but most conductors slow down the strings play a version of the theme from bars against a grand c major chord held by the brass and woodwinds lionel pike describes the d to c note progression followed by the b enharmonically equivalent to c to c progression in the strings as being the final resolution of the tonal dissonance created by the striking a minor chord from near the beginning of the work also for example the dissonant a resolves to consonant g in the immediately preceding section the d to c note progression is also the first two notes of the trombone s recurring aino theme arnold whittall describes this ending as

 comes plural comites is the latin word for companion either individually or as a member of a collective known as comitatus especially the suite of a magnate in some cases large andor formal enough to have a specific name such as a cohors amicorum the word comes derives from com with ire go ancient roman religion comes was a common epithet or title added to the name as catholicism still does with jesus and muchvenerated saints such as in our lady of lourdes for a hero or a divinity as a way to mark a relationship with another divinity on constantine i s coinage the emperor is declared comes to sol invictus the unconquered sun conceived of as a god imperially bestowed court titles and various offices became a secular title given to trusted ex courtiers and others as a mark of imperial confidence developing into a formal rank deriving from the companions of alexander the great and rather equivalent to the hellenistic philos basilikos or the paladin title of a holy roman empire knight and a papal official and therefore the title was retained when one was appointed often promoted to a post away from court often in the field or provincial administration next it seemed logical to link it to specific charges calling for an incumbent of high rank and even to make it part of the official title as the imperial court grew in size and assimilated to itself all political influence the emperors established a casual practice of appointing loyal servants to various posts this process had already been utilized elsewhere as with the prefect of the praetorian guard and the amici principis as the imperial system expanded however new offices were needed and decentralization demanded change comes the comites often translated as counts though neither feudal nor hereditary became leading officials of the later roman empire they wielded posts of every description from the army to the civil service while never surrendering their direct links and access to the emperors constantine took the final step of certifying the posts as comites provinciarum counts of the provinces who were sent out alongside vicars in their dioceses so that they were permanent fixtures of imperial government they are listed in full for the beginning of the fifth century in the notitia dignitatum and a schematic map of comital military posts in english translation is available at the friesian project at later dates additional posts have been created the following are examples of the various types of comites at court or in the imperial domains several of the major departments of an imperial court and household had a chief styled comes with an of a governor these included comes dispositonum a deputy to the very powerful magister officiorum master of offices responsible for organizing the imperial calendar and preparing the correspondence for distribution to the proper offices for transcription comes domesticorum a vir illustris head of the domestici a corps of bodyguards of the emperor who were stationed in the imperial palace there were two of these comital commanders for the horse viz foot units comes domesticorum equitum vs comes domesticorum peditum comes privatae largitionis keeper of the privy purse answerable and subordinate to the comes rerum privatarum comes rerum privatarum powerful imperial officer responsible for the private estates or holdings of the emperor and his family res privata he maintained the properties and collected all monies from rent to the privy purse administered by the comes privatae largitionis comes sacrarum largitionum a vir illustris master of the sacred largess who operated the imperial finances he controlled all of the mints each led by a procurator was in chief of a long list of officials more procurators rationales praepositi who collected senatorial taxes custom duties and some land taxes was also responsible for the yields of the mines provided budgets for the civil service and armies and supplied all uniforms his competence also included several minor comites comes auri gold count comes sacrae vestis master of the wardrobe of the emperor three regional comites largitionum for italy africa illyricum a comes commerciorum for illyricum a comes metallorum per illyricum responsible for the region s gold mines exceptionally a gubernatorial position was styled actually one of the vicarii this count had control over the large and strategically important imperial diocese of the east supervising the governors of this major group of provinces but was himself under supervision of the praefectus praetorio orientis furthermore some less important section chiefs under the authority of otherwise styled highranking territorial officials could be styled comes eg under the praefectus urbis of rome a vir illustris were a comes formarum a comes riparum et alvei tiberis et cloacarum count of the coast of the tiber and the canalisation and a comes portus count of the port the title comes consistorianus indicated the comites who advised the emperor in his council the consistorium for official mainly legal matters whether on an occasional basis ex officio in the case of his adsessor chief counsel as a distinct job comes rei militaris these comites held military appointments higher than dux but under magister peditum magister equitum they were the superiors of a series of military posts each commanded by a praepositus limitis border commander andor unit commanders such as tribunes of cohorts alae auxiliary equivalent numeri in the eastern empire even legions the notitia dignitatum early fifth century mentions six such positions of the rank vir spectabilis in the western empire comes italiae comes africae comes tingitaniae comes tractus argentoratensis comes britanniarum and litoris saxonici per britanniam and two in the eastern empire comes limitis aegypti comes isauriae per isauria comes africae count in charge of the defense of roman africa comes argentoratensis count in comes avernorum count in charge of the defense of part of gaul gallia comes britanniarum count in charge of defense of roman britain britannia this post presumably expired circa ad when the last roman troops left the isles forever comes littoris saxonici per britanniam comes hispaniarum count in charge of the defense of roman iberia hispania as the number of comites grew the rank was devalued which led to he introduction of the notion of classes of comites first second and third ordines horse guards corps of comites the comites dominorum nostrorum plural of comes dn literally companions of our lords emperors were a mounted imperial body guard during diocletian s tetrarchy c medieval usages gothic comites the goths that ruled spain and italy followed the tradition the diverse heads of the departments of the royal household comes cubiculariorumcount in charge of the chamberlains l cubicularii comes scanciorumcount in charge of the cupbearers comes stabulorumcount in charge of the equerries and stables comes notariorumcount in charge of the chancery comes thesaurorumcount in charge of the officers of the treasury etc frankish gaugraf the frankish kings of the merovingian dynasty retained a good deal of the roman system of administration including the title comes preserved its original meaning a companion of the king a royal servant of high rank under the early frankish kings some comites did not exercise any definite functions they were merely attached to the king s person and executed his orders others filled the highest offices eg the comes palatii and comes stabuli survives in the title constable the kingdom was divided for administrative purposes into small areas called pagi hence french pays to the roman civitas at the head of the pagus was the comes corresponding to the german graf in full gaugraf the comes was appointed by the king and removable at his pleasure and was chosen originally from all classes sometimes from enfranchised serfs his essential functions were judicial and executive and in documents he is often described as the kings agent agens publicus or royal judge judex publicusfiscalis as the delegate of the executive power he had the right to military command in the king s name and to take all the measures necessary for the preservation of the peace ie to exercise the royal ban bannus regis he was at once public prosecutor and judge was responsible for the execution of the sentences of the courts and as the king s representative exercised the royal right of protection orphans and the like he enjoyed a triple wergeld but had no definite salary being remunerated by the receipt of certain revenues a system which contained the germs of discord on account of the confusion of his public and private duties the anglosaxon gerefa however meaning illustrious chief has apparently according to philologists no connection with the german graf which originally meant servant compare the origins of the words knight or valet it is the more curious that the gerefa should end as a subservient reeve the graf as a noble count feudalism in the feudal tradition latin was often used especially in legal documents as sometimes sole official language so the rendering in latin was no less important than the original in the spoken vernacular thus comes has been used as the latin equivalent or part whether containing count or some other word etymologically derived from comes or in many other languages from graf similarly it is part of the rendering not always exclusive of derived lower titles containing such term notably vicecomes for viscount and burgicomes alongside burgravio for burgrave

 a magic sword is any mythological or fictional sword imbued with magical power to increase its strength or grant it other supernatural qualities the archetype originated in myth and legend and occurs regularly in fantasy fiction renowned swords appear in the folklore of every nation that used swords sometimes the sword is ascribed no powers of its own it is famous because it is the hero s sword or because of its origin as when a god gives it to the hero other swords keep their wielders safe or destroy their enemies a more localized motif is the sword that has been broken and must be reforged commonly found in northern europe such a sword symbolizes the initial defeat and loss of honor of its wielder subsequent victory and the restoration of honor is achieved by reforging it either at the wielder s hand or that of his heir history it is probably that the roots of the sentient weapon myths stem from ancient peoples belief that sword making and metallurgy was the forge fire was also given spiritual connotations a lump of earth was transformed into a shiny usable object that could be hammered into many shapes extending further from the transformation of ore into metal the difficulty of actually obtaining a quality blade which took intense concentration and skill added to its esoteric qualities while any blacksmith could manufacture a knife or an axehead only a swordsmith could create a high quality sword the secrets of doing so were jealously guarded as well as formulas for alloys the skill necessary to forge a balanced blade one which is not too brittle or too soft and able to hold a usefully sharp edge in the age before automated machines blast furnaces and the knowledge of molecular chemistry made the creation of a sword seem almost miraculous a few degrees too hot or too cold within a very limited temperature range which could only be discerned by the glowing hue of a hot billet could make or break a sword a lack of flux and quench the blade could ruin weeks of work thus the swordsmith almost felt like he was one with his work giving the process his complete devotion of concentration and thought this led to the belief that he was actually imbuing the blade with an essence of his spirit in japan the swordsmiths were so concerned with this belief that they would undergo purification rituals and meditation before even attempting to start a new blade for fear that they may inadvertently create an evil sword it is also important to note that in antiquity metal was used as money and thus a sword was a very expensive and highly prized item a sign of wealth status and given holy connotations in many cultures one would only have to see how they are referenced within the holy books of christians jews and muslims to make this point evident the vikings prized their swords above all other things handing them down from generation to generation and giving them names the value of the blade was not only that it was used in polynesian people such as the mori people later as the concept of demons spiritual possession and elementals entered the realm of mythological themes it was only a natural leap to attribute magical properties of the swords of folklore to indwelling spirits magic swords may exhibit various degrees of sentience from being merely influenced by the wielder to being able to think for itself or even control its owner biblical the bible relates in the book of genesis how god seeking to deter adam and eve from returning to the garden of eden placed at the east of the garden of eden cherubim and a flaming sword which turned every way by some accounts the cherubim are replaced with the archangel michael who wields a similar weapon king david was given the sword of the slain giant goliath by the priest ahimelech to which was attached extrabiblical mythology and traditions in the book of revelation jesus is symbolically described wielding a doubleedged sword that proceeds out from his mouth the word of truth mythological arthurian in the legend of king arthur the king himself is related to two magical swords in most variants the first is the sword in the stone only arthur could draw it out thereby proving that he is the rightful king in some tales this is his only sword in most variants this sword was then broken and he receives from the lady of the lake a new sword called excalibur arguably the most famous of magic swords however in other variants excalibur itself is the sword in the stone it is not clear from the various accounts of the arthur legend whether excalibur itself was possessed of magical powers or merely had a magical origin though its scabbard protected its bearer from physical harm many interpretations of the legend appear to endow excalibur with a cutting strength and durability beyond that of ordinary weapons chinese ancient chinese mythology relates the tale of l dongbin who slew dragons with a magic in norse mythology the god frey possessed a magic sword that struck out at jotuns of its own accord many other swords appear in norse legend in the hands of heroes tyrfing appears in the hervarar saga svafrlami was the king of gardariki and a grandson of the god odin he caught the dwarves dvalin and durin and forced them to forge a sword with a golden hilt that would never miss a stroke would never rust and would cut through stone and iron as easily as through clothes the dwarves made the sword and it shone and gleamed like fire however in revenge they cursed it so that it would kill a man every time it was used and that it would be the cause of three great evils they also cursed it so that it would kill svafrlami himself it would cost the life of not only svafrlami but also the life of the swedish hero hjalmar a similar sword to tyrfing is dinsleif a sword by the dwarf din like tyrfing dainsleif gave wounds that never healed and could not be unsheathed without killing a man there is also mistilteinn a sword from the hrmundar saga gripssonar which could never go blunt and which hrmund won from the undead witchking rainn like tyrfing it was taken from a barrowwight the various iterations of the story of the vlsungs include several magic swords the first magical sword which enters the story is gram stuck by odin into the tree barnstokkr in the hall of the vlsungs only sigmund could pull it out this caused considerable envy and conflict eventually sigmund fought odin disguised as an old man and odin shattered the sword sigmund left it for his son sigurd who reforged it to kill fafnir in the nibelungenlied siegfried the middle german equivalent to norse sigurd discarded gram in exchange for another magic sword balmung wagner s version of the story calls the sword nothung rather than balmung which appears both in

in desperation beowulf grabbed a giant sword of great age and with it took off the head of the she monster japanese in japanese mythology there is a magical sword called kusanagi which was one of the three crown jewels given to the emperor jimmu by the goddess amaterasu additionally the katana forged by masamune and muramasa were reputedly of such high quality as to be nearmagical in the case of the masamune and muramasa blades it was believed that some element of the smith s personality was imputed into the blade these three swords have been used extensively in popular culture since then

 this article is about the administrative divisions of lithuania grand duchy of lithuania in the earliest stages of the formation of the lithuanian state there had been several lands lithuanian plural ems singular em such as nalia deltuva and lietuva as well as others they were ruled by regional dukes when king mindaugas unified the state he killed expelled or subjugated most of the regional dukes the lands were either added to ruler s domain or granted to members of his family as the grand duchy of lithuania expended into slavic lands the title to the acquired principalities was given to the grand duke s offspring or his other relatives for example mindaugas granted black ruthenia with center in navahrudak to his son vaivilkas gediminas sent his brother fiodor to kiev this system had major disadvantages for the principalities remained semiindependent with loose ties to the central government rulers a situation that led to frequent power struggles in early th century vytautas the great initiated administrative reforms he replaced regional dukes and princes with trustworthy nobles who depended on the favor of the grand duke this marked the rise of lithuanian nobility in union of horodo was signed vilnius and trakai voivodeships were created in ethnic lithuanian lands copying the polish system the eldership of samogitia had a special semiautonomous status former slavic principalities and duchies largely preserved their old political social administrative features they were only slowly incorporated into administration of the grand duchy the kiev voivodeship was established in other five voivodeships were established between and the smolensk voivodeship the largest of all was established in but was lost to the grand duchy of moscow in voivodeships lithuanian plural vaivadijos singular vaivadija ruled by appointed officials voivodes were further subdivided into powiats lithuanian plural pavietai major administrative reforms took place in in preparation for the second statute of lithuania and the overhaul of judicial system the entire territory of the grand duchy with exception of samogitia was divided into voivodeships grand duchy of lithuania just before the union of lublin the four voivodeships of kiev podlaskie bracaw and woy of the grand duchy of lithuania were transferred to the polish crown by direct order of sigismund ii augustus while the duchy of livonia acquired in became a condominium joint domain of both lithuania and poland this left lithuania with eight voivodeships and one eldership after the livonian war lithuania acquired the vassal state of duchy of courland with its capital jelgava this administrative division remained without any major changes until the partitions of the polishlithuanian commonwealth in late th century russian empire under the russian empire the territory of the former grand duchy of lithuania was divided lithuanian gubernija and districts russian uyezd lithuanian apskritis such system was introducing in russia during the reforms of the first governorates vilna governorate consisting of eleven districts and slonim governorate were established after the third partition of the polishlithuanian commonwealth just a year later on december they were merged into one governorate called lithuania governorate with capital in vilnius in lithuania governorate was split into lithuaniavilna governorate and lithuaniagrodno governorate forty years later the word lithuania was dropped from the two names and official maps of europe the territory of the former grand duchy of lithuania became known as the northwestern krai in another administrative reform took place creating kovno governorate out of seven western districts of the vilna governorate vilna governorate received three additional districts vileyka and dzisna from minsk governorate and lida from grodno governorate in augustw governorate was established in the territories with russia lithuanian suvalkija was included into this governorate after the january uprising augustw governorate was split into suwaki governorate and oma governorate see administrative division of congress poland this way most of the presentday territory of lithuania fell into three governorates vilna kovno and suwaki two more governorates included some small lithuanian territories in a narrow coastal strip with palanga and ventoji was transferred to the courland governorate this territory was acquired from latvia after an international arbitration in small areas in northernmost grodno governorate were given to lithuania after it joined the soviet union in in after announcing the abolition of serfdom peasants acquired civil rights among them a right to selfgovernmence to facilitate such a right townships russian volost lithuanian valsius and elderates russian mir lithuanian seninija were established by the end of there were elderates townships of kovno governorate the elderates would elect an elder russian starosta lithuanian seninas and representatives to a township council lithuanian valsiaus sueiga however these institutions had very little power and were dependent on the local nobles the power was concentrated in the hands of governors all of whom were appointed by the tsar interwar during the interwar lithuania regained independence the first law on administrative subunits was passed on july it declared that lithuania was divided into twenty counties lithuanian singular apskritis plural apskritys several more counties including zarasai naujieji venionys vilnius eiiks lida ashmyany and hrodna were reserved for territories in the vilnius region that lithuania had claims to but were under polish or russian control later on suwaki county was lost to poland but zarasai of the designated counties trakai and sejny had their proclaimed capitals outside the de facto borders of lithuania and had their temporary capitals established at kaiiadorys and lazdijai after the klaipda region was acquired in it was divided into three counties klaipda ilut and paggiai that way the number of counties increased to twenty three and remained stable until according to a law passed in eleven firstclass cities became independent of county administration and had their own government in march after an ultimatum from hitler lithuania lost the klaipda region with its three counties in october soviet union returned one fifth of the vilnius region in exchange for red army stations in lithuania acquired vilnius region was divided into three counties vilnius eiiks and naujieji venionys therefore at the end of lithuania again had twenty three counties counties were further subdivided into townships lithuanian singular valsius plural valsiai further subdivided into elderates lithuanian seninija the counties were governed by a county governor lithuanian apskrities virininkas appointed by the minister of interior being almost the only link between the central government and the local population governors were first responsible for a wide range of duties they were to collect all property left by the retreating german army organize local government recruit local army groups ensure security and stability in the county etc in they were also entrusted to preside over county police in in an effort to centralize the government county governors also became the chairmen of a threemember county governing body lithuanian apskrities valdyba an executive institution of a county council that way power in a county became centralized in the hands of a governor county councils lithuanian apskrities taryba were elected by local population for a threeyear term the number of in that township these were the counties their territory and residents according to the census soviet system lithuania was occupied by the soviet union on june however due to ensuring world war ii the authorities did not introduce major changes to the administrative divisions just elderates were renamed to apylink after the second occupation in the number of counties grew from to eleven counties were added in and four more were introduced in at the end of there were counties subdivided into townships that were further subdivided into approximately apylinks the entire interwar system was scraped for the th anniversary of the first occupation the new system matched that of other soviet republics on july lithuanian ssr was divided into four provinces russian oblast lithuanian sritis the provinces were further subdivided into districts russian raion kaunas province with districts klaipda province with districts iauliai province with districts and vilnius province with districts the townships were abolished and the districts were further subdivided into apylinks in there were apylinks in lithuania both provinces and districts were named after their capitals three exceptions were smliai district had its capital in ukmerg also capital of ukmerg district panemun district capital garliava and klaipda district capital gargdai in addition to districts there were five vilnius kaunas klaipda iauliai and panevys provinceadministered cities lithuanian srities pavaldumo miestas they had similar rights as a district the provinces were shortlived and on may they were abolished leaving the districts as the firstlevel administrative division the number of districts was reduced several times and in it settled at the provinceadministered cities were renamed to republicadministered cities lithuanian respublikinio pavaldumo miestas to eleven in these cities became the city municipalities after the reform in division until dissolution of counties in see counties of lithuania municipalities of lithuania elderships the administrative division into counties was created in modified in the first level administration was dissolved in lithuania was divided into counties lithuanian plural apskritys singular apskritis each named after their principal city see counties of lithuania these apskritys should not be confused with apskritys that existed in the interwar period the counties are subdivided into municipalities lithuanian plural savivaldybs singular savivaldyb there are three types of municipalities district municipalities lithuanian rajono savivaldyb they roughly correspond to districts that existed under the soviet rule before they to as districts the word municipality was added in effort to diminish the soviet heritage districts were created as raions throughout the soviet union city municipalities lithuanian miesto savivaldyb they are situated around major or important cities in common language they are referred to as just cities or as just municipalities because word municipality in lithuanian language is associated more with cities and city rights than with districts municipalities they were all established after and they do not have the word district associated with them municipalities consist of over elderships lithuanian plural seninijos singular seninija each municipality s government is elected in democratic elections of municipality councils the elections used to take place every three years but now they are held every four years the municipality mayors are elected by municipality councils also municipality councils appoint elders to be in charge of an eldership currently it is proposed that both counties were ruled by apskrities virininkas officially translated as governor who was appointed by the central government in vilnius their primary duty was to ensure that the municipalities obey the laws of lithuania and the constitution they did not have great powers vested in them and so it was suggested that counties are too much for lithuania the smallest county has only four municipalities it was proposed to replace the counties with four or five lands a new administrative unit that would be decided according to the ethnographic regions of lithuania and based on the five major cities on july the county administrations were abolished and since that date counties remains as the territorial and statistical units comparison of post systems

 the freefall time is the characteristic time that would take a body to collapse under its own gravitational attraction if no other forces existed to oppose the collapse as such it plays a fundamental role in setting the timescale for a wide variety of astrophysical processesfrom star formation to helioseismology to supernovaein which gravity plays a dominant role derivation infall to a point source of gravity it is relatively simple to derive the freefall time by applying nothing more than kepler s third law of planetary motion to a degenerate elliptic orbit consider a point mass math m math a distance math r math from a point source of mass math m math which falls radially inward to it crucially kepler s third law depends only on the semimajor axis of the orbit and does not depend on the eccentricity a purely radial trajectory is an example of a degenerate ellipse with an eccentricity of and semimajor axis math r math therefore the time it would take a body to fall inward is the same as the period of a circular orbit of radius math r math or math torbit frac pisqrt gmm toolong rsqrt gmm math to see that the semimajor axis is math r math we must examine properties of orbits as they become increasingly elliptical kepler s first law states that an orbit is an ellipse with the center of mass as one focus in the case of a very small mass falling toward a very large mass math m math the center of mass is within the larger mass the focus of an ellipse is increasingly offcenter with increasing ellipticity in the limiting case of a degenerate ellipse with an eccentricity of the orbit extends from the initial position of the infalling object math r math to the point source of mass math m math in other words the ellipse becomes a line of length math r math the semimajor axis is half the width of the ellipse along the long axis which in the degenerate case becomes math r math it would begin at distance math r math from the point source mass math m math fall inward until it reached that point source then turn around and journey back to its original position in real systems the point source mass is nt truly a point source and the infalling body eventually collides with some surface thus it only completes half the orbit but since the infalling part of the orbit is symmetric to the hypothetical outgoing portion of the orbit we can simply divide the period of the full orbit by two to attain the freefall time the time along the infalling portion of the orbit math tfftorbit fracpi fracr sqrt gmm math this formula also follows from the formula for the falling time as a function of position note that math torbit math in the above equation is the time for the mass to fall in a highly eccentric orbit make a hairpin turn at the central mass at nearly zero radius distance and then returns to r when it repeats the motion back and from distance r to distance as noted above this orbit has only half as long a semimajor axis r as a circular orbit with radius r where the semimajor axis is r and thus the period for the shorter higheccentricity orbit is that for one with an axis of r and a total orbital pathlength of only twice the infall distance thus by kepler s third law with half the semimajor axis radius it thus takes only sup sup sup sup as long a time period as the corresponding circular orbit that has a constant radius the same as the maximal radius of the eccentric orbit which goes to essentially zero radius from the primary at its other extreme the time to traverse half the distance r which is the infall time from r along an eccentric orbit is the kepler time for a circular orbit of r not r which is sup sup times for example the time for an object in the orbit of the earth around the sun to fall into the sun if it were suddenly stopped in orbit would be math psqrt math where p is one year this is about days infall of a sphericallysymmetric distribution of mass now consider a case where the mass math m math is not a point mass but is distributed in a sphericallysymmetric distribution about the center with an average mass density of math rho math math rho frac m pi r math where the volume of a sphere is math pi r math let us assume that the only force acting is gravity then as first demonstrated by newton and can easily be demonstrated using the divergence theorem the acceleration of gravity at any given distance math r math from the center of the sphere depends only upon the total mass contained within math r math the consequence of this result is that if one imagined breaking each shell would collapse only subsequent to the shells interior to it and no shells cross during collapse as a result the freefall time of a massless particle at math r math can be expressed solely in terms of the total mass math m math interior to it in terms of the average density interior to math r math math tff fracsqrt frac pi g rhosimeq frac sqrt g rhosimeq rm s frac sqrt rho math where the latter is in si units this result is exactly the same as from the previous section when math m gg m math applications the freefall time is a very useful estimate of the relevant timescale for a number of astrophysical processes to get a sense of its application we may write math tff simeq frac mboxminsqrtrho cdot sqrtfracmboxgmboxcm math here we have estimated the numerical value for the freefall time as roughly minutes for a body of mean density gcm sup sup comparison for an object falling takes from a given position to fall to the central point mass is the same as the freefall time except for a

conquer the kingdom of the two sicilies ruled by the bourbons the project was an ambitious and risky venture aiming to conquer with a thousand men a kingdom with a larger regular army and a more powerful navy the expedition was a success and concluded with a plebiscite that brought naples and sicily into the kingdom of sardinia the last territorial conquest before the creation of the kingdom of italy on march the sea venture was the only desired action that was jointly decided by the four fathers of the nation italian giuseppe mazzini giuseppe garibaldi victor emmanuel ii and camillo cavour pursuing divergent goals it is difficult to determine the true instigator mazzini desired to release the mezzogiorno and rome while garibaldi wanted to conquer in the name of and continue to rome to complete the unity of italy and cavour wanted to avoid at all costs conflict with his french ally napoleon iii who protected rome the expedition also brings new large collective ambiguity and misunderstanding for garibaldi it is to achieve a united italy to the sicilian bourgeoisie an independent sicily as part of the kingdom of italy and for the mass farmers the end of oppression and land distribution background the events of the expedition took place within the overall process of the unification of italy which was largely orchestrated by camillo cavour prime minister of sardiniapiedmont as his life s work after the annexation of the grand duchy of tuscany the duchies of modena and parma and the romagna to piedmont in march italian nationalists set their sights on the kingdom of the two sicilies which comprised all of southern mainland italy and sicily as the next step toward their dream of unification of all italian lands in garibaldi already the an expedition against sicily and naples with the covert support of the united kingdom sicilian leaders among them francesco crispi were discontented with neapolitan rule over the island moreover britain was worried by the approaches of the neapolitans towards the russian empire in the latter s attempt to open its way to the mediterranean sea the strategic importance of the sicilian ports was also to be dramatically increased by the opening of the suez canal it has been also suggested by lorenzo del boca among the others that british support for garibaldi s expedition was spurred by the necessity to obtain more favourable economic conditions for sicilian sulfur which was needed in great quantities for the new steamers the search for a casus belli the kingdom of sardiniapiedmont needed a presentable casus belli in order to attack the kingdom of the two sicilies this was needed for the house of savoy which however never gave any declaration of war against the bourbon kingdom a necessary condition since this was among the requirements presented this requirement was an uprising from within such an event would have felt the alienation of the people to the dynasty that ruled in naples and particularly the inability of francis of bourbon to ensure in forms acceptable public policy in their domains sicily as shown by the history of the past decades was fertile ground and the liberal south especially those returning after an amnesty granted by the young king who worked in this direction for some time the expedition the red shirts in march exile rosolino pilo exhorted giuseppe garibaldi to take charge of an expedition to liberate southern italy from bourbon rule at first garibaldi was against it but eventually agreed by may garibaldi had collected volunteers for his expedition to sicily the majority of the volunteers came from lombardy volunteers other significant numbers of volunteers came from occupied venetia volunteers genoa volunteers and tuscany volunteers neapolitan volunteers but only from rome and the papal states thirty three foreigners joined the expedition amongst them istvn trr and three other hungarians and fourteen italians from the trentino of the austrian empire the majority of the volunteers were students and artisans from the lower classes the volunteers were poorly armed with dated muskets and were dressed in a minimalist uniform consisting of a red shirt and grey trousars during the night of may a small group led by nino bixio seized two steamships in genoa from the rubattino shipping company in order to transport the volunteers to sicily they took the two ships which they had renamed il piemonte and il lombardo to the nearby rocks at quarto where the volunteers including franceso crispi s wife rosalie embarked for sicily landing in sicily the ships landed at marsala on the westernmost point of sicily on may to deter the bourbon ships the lombardo was attacked and sunk only after the disembarkation had been completed while the piemonte was captured the landing had been preceded by the arrival of francesco crispi and others who had the task of gaining the support of the locals for the volunteers on may at salemi garibaldi announced that he was assuming dictatorship over sicily in the name of king victor emmanuel ii of sardinia calatafimi and palermo the mille won a first battle at calatafimi against around neapolitan troops on may the battle boosted the morale of the mille and at the same time depressed the neapolitans who were poorly led by their often corrupted higher officers and started to feel themselves abandoned in the meantime the ranks of the mille enlarged to with local men joining on may with the help of a popular insurrection the s capital the city was defended by some men but these were under the confused and timid direction of general ferdinando lanza aged probably one of the neapolitan officers bribed with english money see evaluation section while two columns of garibaldines attacked the perimeter part of the population strengthened by prisoners liberated from the local jails rose against the garrison when his troops were driven back from most of their positions lanza ordered them to bombard the city for three days causing the deaths of civilians by may garibaldi controlled much of the city and declared the bourbon authority deposed the following day a desperate neapolitan counteroffensive was driven back and lanza asked for a truce however when a reinforcement party of well equipped and well trained troops arrived in the city the situation became very serious for garibaldi who was saved only by lanza s decision to surrender through the mediation of a british admiral an armistice was signed and the neapolitan fleet calatafimi filenodari

had broken out in catania on may led by nicola fabrizi was crushed by the local garrison but the order to leave for messina meant that this neapolitan tactical success would have no practical results at the time only syracuse augusta milazzo and messina remained in royal hands in sicily in the meantime garibaldi issued his first law a levy failed to muster more than troops while the peasants who hoped to an immediate relief from the grievous conditions to which they were forced by the landowners revolted in several localities at bronte on august garibaldi s friend nino bixio bloodily repressed one of these revolts with two had worried cavour who in early july sent him a proposal of immediate annexation of sicily to piedmont garibaldi however refused vehemently to allow such a move until the end of the war cavour s envoy la farina was arrested and expelled from the island he was replaced by the more malleable agostino depretis who gained garibaldi s trust and was appointed as prodictator on june king francis ii of the two sicilies had issued a constitution however this late attempt to conciliate his moderate subjects failed to rouse them to defend the regime while liberals and revolutionaries were eager to welcome garibaldi at the time garibaldi had created the esercito meridionale southern army reinforced by other volunteers from italy and some regular piedmontese soldiers disguised as deserters the neapolitans had mustered some men for the defence of messina and the other fortresses on july garibaldi attacked milazzo with men the neapolitan defence was gallant but again the absence of the army in the island to send reinforcements from messina granted the mille another victory six days later clary surrendered the city of messina to garibaldi leaving only in the citadel and other forts the other strongholds surrendered by the end of september landing and conquest in calabria on august garibaldi s men disembarked in calabria a move opposed by cavour who had written the dictator a letter urging him to not cross the strait garibaldi however disobeyed an act which had the silent approval of king victor emmanuel the bourbons had some men in calabria but apart from some episodes like that of reggio calabria which was conquered at high cost by bixio on august they offered insignificant resistance as numerous units of the bourbon army disbanded spontaneously or even joined garibaldi s ranks on august a conspicuous sicilian army led by general ghio was officially disbanded at soveria mannelli while only minor and dispersed units continued the fight the end king francis ii was thus forced to abandon naples and entrench himself in the formidable fortress of gaeta while a last stand was set up on the volturno river north of naples on september garibaldi took possession of naples with little harm he entered the city by train hailed as a liberator by the population in the meantime the kingdom of sardinia invaded the papal states conquering central italy lazio excluded through few battles such as the battle of castelfidardo and entered the kingdom of two sicilies joining giuseppe garibaldi in the decisive battle of the volturnus and october garibaldi with a force of men was not able to conclusively defeat the neapolitan army about men only the arrival of the sardinian army obliged the last organized bourbon force to entrench in gaeta a few days later october a plebiscite confirmed the annexation of the kingdom of the two sicilies to the kingdom of sardinia by an overwhelming majority the meeting in teano northern campania between victor emmanuel and garibaldi october others assign instead the end of the campaign to the king s entrance into naples on november however the military campaign was not yet fully completed as francis ii held out in gaeta until february of the next year when he finally surrendered to the armies led by giuseppe garibaldi and enrico cialdini and left for exile in the papal states shortly thereafter in march the new kingdom of italy regno ditalia was formally established garibaldi asked the king to remain in the former two sicilies for a year as dictator he also asked that his officers be integrated in the new italian army when victor emmanuel refused to accept his requests he returned to caprera center gallery filebattaglia del volturno combattimento di porta romana verso

following years the rise of local resistance the socalled brigantaggio or brigandage required at one point the presence of some piedmontese troops to maintain control of the former kingdom of the two sicilies traditionally the handling of the brigantaggio has received a negative judgement by italian historians in strict contrast with the heroism attributed to garibaldi and his followers the english historian denis mack smith for example points out the deficiencies and reticence of the sources available for the period the expedition moreover obtained the support of the powerful great landowners of southern italy in exchange for the promise that their properties be left intact in the upcoming political settlement numerous sicilian peasants however had joined the mille hoping

 the child labour programme of action or clpa is the national plan on elimination of child labour in south africa it was provisionally adopted by a large group of key stakeholders in september these stakeholders include key government departments including those responsible for labour education provincial and local government water service justice policing prosecution social development and education the lead department is the department of labour it was previously known as the child labour action programme but was renamed in february because of the negative connotation attached to the abbreviation clap the first phase was from to march and referred to as the clpa many departments and other stakeholders have been implementing aspects of the child labour programme of action since however the minister of labour plans to submit it for formal cabinet approval only once a costing study has been done this study aims at calculating the additional cost to government of key elements of this programme in september of implementation april to march this is referred to as clpa the programme towards the elimination of the worst forms of child labour tecl was regarding its activities in south africa during its first phase essentially an executing agency for key elements of the child labour programme of action background the south african constitution provides that children under have a right to be protected from work that is exploitative hazardous inappropriate for their age detrimental to their schooling or detrimental to their social physical mental spiritual or moral development the term work is not limited to work in economic activities eg paid employment but includes chores or household activities in the child s household such as collecting wood and fuel where such work is exploitative hazardous inappropriate for their age or detrimental to their development the term child labour as used in the child labour programme of action covers estimates that there were about one million of south africa s children who are working as child labourers south africa has ratified the ilo minimum age convention c this convention requires ratifying states to pursue a national policy designed to ensure the effective abolition of child labour and to progressively raise the minimum age for admission to employment or work south africa also assisted in drafting the worst forms of child labour convention c which it ratified in in terms of this convention south africa must take timebound measures to eliminate the worst forms of child labour wfcl these include forms of bonded labour commercial sexual exploitation of children trafficking of children and the use of children by others in illegal activities including drug trafficking since the government of south africa has been involved in a process towards the formulation of appropriate policies and a national action programme to combat child labour the department of labour is the lead department in the process the south african directly and indirectly improving the situation of children many are aimed at addressing poverty for example the public works programmes the provision of basic infrastructure access to basic services and the roll out of social grants that benefit children the programmes are funded for the most part from the government budget the child labour programme of action is intended to complement and strengthen the existing programmes where they are not adequately preventing child labour the first step in the development of the south african programme was the establishment of a reliable and credible database on child work in the country in statistics south africa conducted the first national householdbased survey of child work in south africa the survey of activities of young people sayp in addition to the sayp as part of the development of the child labour programme of action all known qualitative research conducted within south africa on areas relevant to this policy was reviewed this review was used in particular to inform those elements of the policy that can not address and was published as discussion document towards a national child labour action programme the sayp and review of qualitative research confirmed that south africa does not seem to have as serious a problem in regard to child labour as some other countries in particular the extent of child labour in the formal sectors of the economy is limited however the sayp also confirmed that there indeed are children in the country who are doing unacceptable amounts of work or work of an unacceptable nature south africa clearly needs to address these if it is to fulfill its commitment in terms of the constitution and international conventions addressing the problems sooner rather than later should also help to avoid their multiplying and becoming more serious and difficult to address in the future national consultations that led towards the child labour programme of action following the process of gathering information the government of south africa began formulating appropriate policies and a national action programme to combat child labour this was done through a engagement with key stakeholders stakeholders consulted included government departments organised labour organised business and relevant nongovernmental organisations ngos the consultation process included focus groups with affected children who were asked about their experiences and subsequently asked for their opinion on proposed policy measures aimed at addressing their specific circumstances exercises were also conducted with children in grade seven in schools throughout the country the consultative process has culminated in the drafting of a national clap for south africa the process of developing the child labour programme of action was overseen and guided by an intersectoral national steering committee involving key departments employers and workers organisations ngos and the community constituency of south africa s nedlac national economic development amp labour council the national steering committee was coordinated and chaired by the department of labour guiding principles the following principles were applied in the drafting of the child labour programme of action need for prioritisation because of limited resources the programme identified the forms of child work that should be prioritised number of children involved and the degree of harm of particular forms of work the country also needed to take action first and urgently on the worst forms of child labour identified in the convention learn from others where appropriate south africa has developed an indigenous programme that suits the local context but has borrowed where appropriate best practices from other countries it has also learnt from the mistakes of others the programme of action must be as realistic as possible and take into account existing financial and human capacity and the extent to which capacity can be further developed within the time and resources available the programme must be sustainable to achieve sustainability it must be able to be funded from government funds after a possible initial injection of donor funds which the international labour organisation ilo has undertaken to help government access to assist with onceoff expenditures that can kickstart ongoing sustainable activities the programme must build on and fit in with existing programmes of government the child labour programme the mandates of a wide range of government departments and agencies for each activity the programme identifies the lead department as well as other departments and agencies including nongovernmental agencies which would be involved the views of the government agencies involved were canvassed during the formulation of the programme and modifications introduced where necessary treasury s budget officers were also consulted to ensure that the proposals would mesh with budgetary plans the majority of the activities making up the child labour programme of action already forms part of government policy in these cases the programme confirms that these activities contribute to addressing child labour where appropriate it proposes that implementation be strengthened in some cases the programme suggests a variation of an existing programme or policy which will allow it to combat child labour more effectively neither of the above two types of proposals will involve significant expenditure or other resources from government in a few cases the child labour programme of action proposes new activities some of which will necessitate new expenditures each activity whether existing a variation of existing or new the programme identifies whether onceoff and ongoing costs will be minimal moderate or significant the department of labour will undertake a costing exercise regarding at least those items identified as being moderately or significantly costly key elements of the child labour programme of action targeting the rollout of government and other stakeholders programmes and policies on poverty employment labour and social matters more effectively in areas where the work that children do has serious negative affects on them promoting new legislative measure against worst forms of child labour strengthening of national capacity to enforce legislative measures increasing public awareness and social mobilisation against the worst forms of child labour largescale projects with significant financial demands and substantial human resource requirements have been avoided since they will not be realistic or sustainable in a few cases however action steps have been included which may have significant cost implications the most important of these is the proposed extension of the qualifying age for the by the child turns so as to avoid the current contradiction with the basic conditions of employment act prohibiting child work below that age as well as the provisions on compulsory schooling the programme also proposes a further roll out of the child support grant up to the age of by this will encourage children to remain in school and so help to avoid children s engagement in hazardous works activities and other wfcl

 the british general election in ireland produced one of the last overall victories for the tories in ireland their win however did not mean that ireland was supporting the tories though the party did have some strong pockets of support on the island the win was a result of a restricted electoral franchise which saw voting restricted to the middle and upper classes who were disproportionately supportive of the tory party in ireland electoral reform in subsequent decades saw a sharp decline in tory fortunes in ireland with new voters who had not been tory supporters anyhow supporting first of all the liberal party notably in the general election in ireland and later the irish parliamentary party from the general election in ireland onwards results

 genre action space taxi is a computer game for the commodore it was written by john kutcher and published by muse software in the game is famous for featuring sampled speech uncommon in the early s the speech samples include hey taxi pad one please and similar samples for different pads thanks and up please these are said in a variety of voice pitches creating the feeling of different taxi customers gameplay space taxi is an action game there are different levels all in sequential order and the player has to complete all of them space taxi simulates a flying taxi the taxi is controlled by four thrusters and has landing gear that can be switched on or off switching landing gear on disables the side thrusters but landing without landing gear destroys the taxi landing with high velocity or not landing properly ie having only one of the gear stands on the platform while having the other in midair in each level there is a set of numbered platforms at regular intervals a customer materializes out of nowhere on a randomly selected platform the player has to fly their taxi to that platform whereupon the customer will enter the taxi saying which platform he wants to go to when the player takes him to that platform he will pay the taxi fee and tip based upon how fast the trip takes and the smoothness of the landing after each numbered platform has been successfully visited the next customer will say up please whereupon the gate at the top of the level will open flying through the gate completes the level one must also be careful not to land on or hit the customer with the taxi not only because he will angrily yell hey and then disappear before appearing somewhere else on the platform is increasingly difficult on smaller platforms where the platform will barely fit the customer and the taxi each level features a different setting or theme such as a treatstrewn candyland or a snowy winter landscape and most have some special feature to hinder the player s job some of the features include a table tennis ball bouncing across the level snowflakes falling from the sky a series of radar masts interfering with the controls or teleports that send the player to a random location the taxi also has a limited fuel supply the fuel level resets at the end of each level but on some of the more complicated screens it is necessary to refuel this is accomplished by flying to a special platform marked with an f and containing a gas pump the player must pay for fuel out of the money he has earned passengers do not make allowances for pitstops and their tip will continue to decrease as the player tanks up the taxi s fuel consumption is based upon the time are used so if a player needs to get from one side of the screen to the other it consumes less fuel though is more dangerous to accelerate halfway across the screen and then reverse thrust than to use one small thrust to move slowly across the screen and occasional upward thrusts to maintain altitude after completing all levels the player gets to a special mystery level in which the player is greeted with the message welcome to museworld and three platforms each with a figure relating to another muse software game an ambulance representing rescue squad also john f kutcher the soldier with hakenkreuz for castle wolfenstein silas s warner and a shooting robot relating to robotwar silas s warner at the bottom below there is the actual mystery of the secret screen the text says eat the pi e until a fire glows then go up until it secret menu the bold words here are highlighted in the game in a different color and are the keys to get into the secret menu therefore the player must first enter the instruction page by pressing joystick down in the main menu and type in the keys related by the highlighted words first pressing the key until the word fire in the last line changes its color then pressing the key not the cursor key until the color gets black again then the player presses and he or she will get to the secret menu with the following options record own demo disable sprite kill manual select for random levels and author information levels class

the ported version however had game rules most prominently landing on top of a customer no longer made him leave an attempt at a more faithful port was galactic taxi but the game never made it past prototype stage an authorized sequel to space taxi was released by twilight games in completely faithful to the original in graphics game play and sound was made by michael lesauvage in shortly after the release of space taxi john f kutcher allowed the release of the first eight levels as a way to raise interest in space taxi there were plans to release a version for sale as an addon to space taxi that would have all the original levels but the work was not completed a similar game on the pc was called ugh where the player controls a caveman with a flying contraption for windows phone a remake of the first eight levels has been created was published by vernal equinox the name of the game refers to the sketchstyle graphics which give the game a cartoon like look advanced features are that once unlocked each level can be played individually and that there are achievements which can be earned the rest of the gameplay and overall level design is kept as it was in the original game

littlewood his aim was to make things look fresh and improvised to which end he might spend hours working on one tiny scene with his cast he set his lyrics to outofcopyright popular tunes so that the

prohibits proper wire or pin placement bone pathology precluding pin fixation method in this kind of reduction holes are drilled into uninjured areas of bones around the fracture and special bolts or wires are screwed into the holes outside the body a rod or a curved piece of metal with special ballandsocket joints joins the bolts to make a rigid support the fracture can be set in the proper anatomical configuration by adjusting the ballandsocket joints since the bolts pierce the skin proper cleaning to prevent infection at the site of surgery must be performed installation of the external fixator is removal of the external frame and bolts usually requires special wrenches and can be done with no anesthesia in an office visit external fixation is usually used when internal fixation is contraindicated often to treat open fractures or as a temporary solution external fixation is also used in limb lengthening people with short limbs can have for example legs lengthened in most cases the thigh bone femur is cut diagonally in a surgical procedure under anesthesia external fixator pins or wires as above are placed each side of the man made fracture and the external metal apparatus is used to very gradually push the two sides of the bone apart millimetre by millimetre day by day and week by week bone will gradually grow into the small gap created by this distraction

with the healing of the fracture this may take longer still it is known that bearing weight through fracture by walking on it for example with the added support of the external fixator frame actually helps fractures to heal history almost years ago hippocrates described a form of external fixation to splint a fracture of the tibia the device consisted of closely fitting proximal and distal egyptian leather rings connected by four wooden rods from a cornel tree in jeanfrancois malgaigne described a spike driven into the tibia and held by straps to immobilise a fractured tibia in he used a clawlike device to percutaneously hold the fragments of a fractured patella clayton parkhill of denver colorado and albine lambotte of antwerp belgium independently invented the modern concept of unilateral external fixation in and respectively lambotte was the first to use threaded pins however his device necessitated initial open fracture reduction and then pin insertion and fixator placement in raoul hoffmann of geneva realized that major improvements were essential to make the external fixator more clinically relevant he developed a technique based on closed reduction with guided percutaneous pin placement hoffmanns technique exemplified the first application of minimally invasive orthopaedic surgery in the s gavriil ilizarov of kurgan soviet union devised and developed a new method for treating fractures deformities and other bone defects a metal frame that encircles the limb is attached to the underlying bone by crossing x pins inserted through the bone and limb the external rings are linked to each other by threaded rods and hinges that allow to move the position of the bone fragments without opening the fracture site then the fragments can be fixed in rigid

or km mi south of tokyo japan the japanese meaning of the name is remote bird islands and they are sometimes referred to as the southernmost islands of japan etymology the atoll has multiple designations in english okinotori coral reefs okinotori islands its original name was parece vela spanish for looks like a sail alluding to the original appearance of the reef this name has been retained in english as well especially to designate the geological formations of the islets history it was torre in certainly by miguel lpez de legazpi in and its first recorded name was parece vela looks like a sail in spanish in william douglas arrived with british ship iphigenia and in the following year the place was named douglas reef also spelt douglass reef the existence of the atoll might not have been known by the japanese until in and the japanese navy ship manshu investigated the area in confirming that no other countries had claimed the reefs japan declared it japanese territory placing it under the jurisdiction of the tokyo metropolis classifying it as part of the ogasawara village and naming it okinotorishima during and a foundation was completed for a lighthouse and a meteorological observation site however construction was interrupted by the outbreak of world war ii after japan s defeat the united states assumed the islands to japan in between and the government of tokyo and later the central government built steel breakwaters and concrete walls to stop the erosion of okinotorishima which today leaves only three of the five rocks that were present in above water in the japan marine science and technology center built a marine investigation facility which it has since maintained following typhoon damage on march a light beacon was installed by the japan coast guard the beacon is plotted on the hydrographic chart geology geologically the islets are an atoll built on the kyushupalau ridge the westernmost part of the izuboninmariana arc system the name parece vela has been given to the extinct backarc basin that lies immediately to the east the northern half of this backarc basin is known as the shikoku basin this backarc basin formed by seafloor spreading between late oligocene and miocene the parece vela basin contains the longest megamullion in the world the original spanish name of the parece vela megamullion parece vela ridge parece vela rift or parece vela basin the waters around the reefs are potentially rich in oil and other resources and it lies in an area of potential military significance at high tide one area of the reefs is roughly the size of a twin bed and pokes just centimeters inches out of the ocean the other is the size of a small bedroom and rises about twice as high the entire reef consists of approximately km sqmi most of which is submerged even at low tide the area has three tiny individual islets higashikojima eastern islet kitakojima northern islet nevertheless rather in the west minamikojima southern islet minamikojima is a completely artificial islet created in shallow water but also the two original islets appear completely artificial today with little if any trace of the two natural rocks that still appear on photographs of in there were still five abovewater mentions five abovewater rocks three smaller ones were on the west side nearly impossible to see from seaward because of the breaking waves the larger rocks on the southwest side and on the northeast side possibly kitakojima and higashikojima were reported to be m ft and m inches high respectively the original rocks appeared barren obviously without any terrestrial vegetation the current artificial dry land areas with their concrete surfaces appear unfit to support terrestrial vegetation either after concrete encasing each of

the construction suspended in at the start of the world war ii hostilities in the pacific typhoons are constant threats to okinotori s existence in the s there were about five or six visible protrusions but by only two were visible in order to prevent the island from submersion caused by erosion and maintain the claim to the eez the japanese government launched an embankment building project in and higashikojima and kitakojima were surrounded by concrete japan has encased the reefs with million worth of concrete and covered the smaller one with a million titanium net to shield it from debris thrown up by the ocean s waves in fact the japanese government has spent over million fortifying the reefs to prevent them from being completely washed away furthermore the nippon foundation has drawn plans to build a lighthouse and increase the size of the reef by breeding microorganisms known as foraminifera creating land using the microorganisms could take decades to a century before the island is large enough to be useful area as well as repair work on the embankment in the government installed a radar system at the cost of million repaired a heliport and placed an official address plaque saying okinotori island ogasawara village tokyo in japanese fishing expeditions are also sent to support the claim of economic activity tokyo governor shintaro ishihara has talked of building a power station despite protests by environmentalists his government has helped fund expeditions to okinotori by japanese fishermen and scientists governor ishihara himself toured the islands on may to inspect the conservation and management efforts went snorkeling to see firsthand the condition of the surrounding waters and released japanese horse mackerel fry to show support for the local fishing industry the islands are an intermittent rallying point for japanese nationalists and as such a hotbutton political issue in japan eez dispute on april chinese diplomats stated during bilateral talks with japan that they regarded okinotorishima as an atoll not to an exclusive economic zone eez stemming from okinotorishima under the united nations convention on the law of the sea an island is a naturally formed area of land surrounded by water which is above water at high tide it states that rocks which can not sustain human habitation or economic life of their own shall have no exclusive economic zone japan signed the convention in the convention came into force in for japan japan claims an eez over square km square miles around okinotorishima the people s republic of china disputes this claim saying the area only consists of rocks and not islands the prc has not made a territorial claim of its own regarding okinotorishima but foreign policy analysts note that it wants to investigate the surrounding seabed for submarine operations in case of military conflict involving the republic of china taiwan the territory lies at a militarily strategic point midway between taiwan and guam the latter where us forces are based vessels ocean s bottom over which us warships might pass on their way to taiwan the prc conducted four maritime surveys near the okinotori

 brokeground december faurot field at memorial stadium is the home field of the university of missouri tigers in columbia missouri it is primarily used for football in memorial stadium s playing surface was named faurot field in honor of longtime coach don faurot during the offseason soccer goals are set up in the end zones and it is used for intramural matches it also hosts the annual providence bowl game between hickman and rock bridge high schools so named because both schools are located on providence road in columbia and faurot is roughly equidistant between the two and in the past has been home to the mshsaa football championships now held in st louis taking advantage of the climatecontrolled atmosphere of the edward jones dome it is the second largest sports facility by capacity in the state of missouri second to arrowhead stadium in kansas city when full faurot field would be the ninthlargest city in the state of missouri the stadium is a open endzone the horseshoe is completed by a grass berm in the curved end which is used for general admission on game days the berm is famous for the giant block m made of painted white stones located behind the endzone there is road between the field and the stands around the entire length of the horseshoe taking the place of the track removed in the mids early history fundraising began in for a memorial union and a memorial stadium to be constructed at the university the names of the two projects were a tribute to mizzou alumni who lost their lives during world war i ground was broken on the site of the future stadium in december the site was a sizeable natural valley that lay between twin bluffs south of the campus original plans called for the stadium to seat with proposed stages of expansion in capacity to and according to legend a rock crusher and truck were buried during initial blasting and they still on october to the memory of alumni and students who lost their lives in world war i the seat stadiumthe lower half of the current facilitywas built with a yd track that circled the playing field that first october game against tulane was marred by rainstorms that washed out a bridge into columbia coming from the western side of missouri while the game sold out the field could not be sodded due to the wet conditions therefore a surface of sawdust and tree bark was used and the tigers and green wave played to a scoreless mudpie tie in the words of sportswriter bob broeg grass would be installed thenafter until the s the highly recognizable rock m of the northern end zone debuted on october to a victory over kansas state the monument was built by members of the freshman class using leftover rocks from the original stadium construction the ft m wide by ft m high m has continued to watch over mizzou earned its largest margin of victory ever at memorial stadium on september under coach gary pinkel the tigers defeated western illinois university by a score of traditions rock m the stadium s most historic and identifiable landmark is the rock m above the stadium s north end zone the m is formed by whitewashed rocks and it measures feetwide by feethigh the landmark was built in by students using leftover rocks from the original construction of memorial stadium this distinctive feature has not been immune to pranks such as enterprising nebraska or kansas fans attempting to change the m to an n or a k but groundskeepers and students have in the past protected what may be the stadium s bestknown landmark one of the traditions of the football team is that seniors after playing their final home game take a rock from the m as a souvenir the rock m is also whitewashed every year by incoming freshmen during welcoming activities prior to the first home chant came about in the s after a game against ohio state famous for its oh io the chant was adapted for missouri by dr alexander pickard director of marching mizzou today the chant is led by the big mo drum the worlds largest marching bass drum the student section yells out miz and the alumni section responds zou gold rush traditionally all fans were encouraged to wear gold to one game a season which was known as the gold rush game the atmosphere of the gold rush game against the nebraska cornhuskers was so successful that coach pinkel and the athletic department requested that all fans wear only gold shirts to all remaining games except during the blackout game traditionally the final home game of the year this has been met with general success and has been embraced by fans following the season the first home game of the season has been designated as the gold rush kickoff game and fans wear gold to all remaining the sea of gold in the stands has become an identity of faurot field other traditions the intro song for the football team is welcome to the jungle quantrill q flags often make appearances around the stadium and in tailgating these flags are in reference to confederate guerrilla william quantrill who raided sacked and burned down lawrence ks during the civil war a quantrill flag currently hangs in the team locker room expansion and renovation seating expansions throughout its history numerous expansion and renovation projects have taken place at faurot field beginning in mu expanded memorial stadium by constructing a second tier of seating above the original construction the construction included seats between the yard lines on the west side and between the south and north yard lines and a new press box on the west side of the stadium a second project in filled in the northeast and northwest sections of the second tier and two final projects in and southeast stands in the mu board of curators awarded contracts totaling for construction of a new three story press box the new press box was completed for the start of the season in athletic director mel sheehan studied the possibility of lowering the field to add additional seats on each side closer to the sidelines but the plan did not move forward due to a prevalence of bedrock just below the playing surface during the summer of the south endzone was enclosed with permanent seats which brought total permanent seating capacity to and overall seating capacity to around omniturf on may mu replaced the natural grass surface with a new artificial surface called omniturf the conversion was completed on august missouri was the last school in the big eight conference to switch from grass to artificial turf six of the other seven conference schools switched to artificial turf in the early s and iowa state followed suit in when the cyclones the new artificial turf was a loss to northwestern university played on september the tigers went on to finish at home during the season the omniturf surface became infamous to tiger fans as the lousy field on which the fifth down game was played on october the surface was also panned by opponents as well in big eight conference coaches issued a statement that read in part big eight conference football coaches wanted to report that the football field at the university of missouri is a detriment to the home and visiting teams and takes away from the integrity of the game played on such a field s on september the rolling stones performed during their voodoo lounge tour before fans at memorial stadium in a concert that raised almost for the conversion of the omniturf surface back to natural grass the final game on the infamous omniturf surface was played on november of that same year against the university alltime record on the omiturf was a disappointing the artificial omniturf playing surface was removed and replaced with natural grass over the summer of legendary coach don faurot put down the last piece of sod as a symbolic gesture faurot had helped to lay the sod of the original playing surface in he died later that year in october during homecoming week as part of the installation of the new playing surface grasscovered terraces were extended up from the field to the seating area where they met a new low brick wall that was designed to give memorial stadium a traditional college ambiance the brick wall also honors the greatest figures in tiger football including faurot kellen winslow and dan devine by listing the team s honored numbers on each panel the first game on the new natural grass resulted in a victory for mizzou over north texas the game was also historic as the first game played under permanent lightspreviously night games only were played under temporary lights paid for by large light stanchions were erected outside each corner of the stadium in four permanent light towers were installed allowing missouri to begin playing night games on a regular basis in the first night game played under the permanent lights the memphis tigers upset missouri with a upset win on september brought a major renovation that included the installation of the diamond vision video board above the rock m at the north end zone the video board measured feet high by feet wide and the screen utilized clearvision signal processing the concourses were also refurbished with new signage and expanded concessions new ticket booths were constructed and the north entrance was reconfigured with more brick work to accent the new brick wall installed at field level in to present prior to the start of the football season construction of a new press box and luxury suites began the million story tower was completed in august and it contained stateoftheart facilities for the coaches and of premium club seats and a restaurant fieldturf replaced the natural grass in with installation of the new fieldturf the traditional m was removed from the yard line of the field and it was replaced by the oval power tiger logo at the center of the field in the south end s antiquated auxiliary scoreboards were replaced with new ones as well as a second highdefinition video monitor in the university installed a new million x foot north end zone scoreboard with updated video capabilities and new sound system the new north end zone video board and audio upgrades replaced the current year old equipment at the time of construction it was the fourth largest scoreboard in the big conference sitting behind godzillatron at texas dkr stadium the south scoreboard at owen field in norman oklahoma and th man tv at kyle field in college station when the tigers enter southeastern conference play the faurot field video scoreboard will be the ninth largest in the restaurants to expand menu options in the stadium this includes the faurotious field dawg hot dog with buffalo sauce and blue cheese the the big zou dawg potato salad baked beans barbecue sauce and cheddar cheese and the touchdown taco dawg taco meat lettuce cheddar cheese pico de gallo sour cream and jalapeos it also brought about a new food tradition the mac and cheese burnt end sandwich which quickly caught on with fans and is now becoming a popular item for tailgating in athletic director mike alden announced a million modification plan for faurot field in anticipation of increased game attendance in the sec changes to the stadium for the season include a redesigned fieldturf surface featuring a larger power tiger logo at midfield sec conference logos black and gold mizzou endzone diamonds to replace the previous white missouri diamonds and gold trim surrounding the field additionally marching mizzou was moved from the south endzone to the southeast corner of the seating added to the south endzone current projects in renovation plans were expanded to increase the current capacity by approximately seats at a planned cost of million for the season the west side press box complex was renovated moving all press facilities to the sixth floor and converting the existing space to new premium suites in addition the rock m and grass berm were moved closer will be completed for the east side of the stadium providing general admission seats and club seats these additions will make faurot field the ninth largest stadium in the southeastern conference ahead of arkansas kentucky ole miss mississippi state

 infobox aircraft begin infobox aircraft type the lockheed model electra junior more commonly known as the lockheed or l is an eightseat sixpassenger allmetal twinengine transport aircraft of the late s designed for use by small airlines companies and wealthy private individuals a scaleddown version of the lockheed model electra the lockheed was not popular as an airliner but was widely used as a corporate and government transport several were also used for testing new aviation technologies design and development after lockheed had introduced its passenger model electra the company decided to develop a smaller version which would be better suited as a feeder airliner or a corporate executive transport at the same time the us bureau of air commerce had also sensed the need for a small feeder airliner and announced a design competition for one in order for a candidate to qualify for the competition a prototype had to fly by june lockheed based its candidate which it named the version of the electra airframe it would carry only six passengers and two pilots but would use the same hp pratt amp whitney r wasp junior sb radial engines as the main electra version the a this made it faster than the electra with a top speed of mph at ft like the electra the model had an allmetal structure trailingedge wing flaps lowdrag naca engine cowlings and twobladed controllablepitch propellers later changed to constantspeed propellers it also had the electra s twin tail fins and rudders which were becoming a lockheed trademark the landing gear was a conventional taildragger arrangement with the main wheels retracting backwards into the engine nacelles as was often the case with retractable gear of the period the wheel bottoms were left exposed in case a wheelsup emergency landing was necessary as in the electra and the boeing the model s main wing spar passed through the passenger cabin small steps were placed on either side of the spar to the rear although the standard cabin layout was for six passengers lockheed also offered roomier more luxurious layouts for corporate or private owners the new transport had its first flight on june three days before the competition deadline at pm local time a time deliberately chosen for the model s number as it turned out the other two competition entries the beechcraft model and the barkleygrow tp were nt ready in time for the deadline so lockheed won by default the electra junior name did not catch on in the way that the original electra s name had most users simply referred to the aircraft by its model number as the lockheed the original lockheed version with wasp junior engines was the model a almost every lockheed built was a a or derived from the a there was also a model b using hp wright re whirlwind radials but only two of this model were built although lockheed r whirlwind sevencylinder radials and a model m powered by hp menasco sixcylinder inline engines neither of these versions reached production operational history even though the lockheed had won the government s feeder airliner competition the airlines mostly rejected it and very few lockheed s were used as airliners one notable airline user was the newly renamed continental air lines which had a fleet of three lockheed s that ran on its route between denver colorado and el paso texas in the late s another was british west indian airways ltd which flew the lockheed on caribbean routes in the lesser antilles during the mids the lockheed proved much more popular as a transport for company executives or government officials oil and steel companies were among the major users a number were purchased as military staff transports by the united states army air corps which designated the type as the c and by the united states navy which used the designation jo or in one peculiar ii many civilian lockheed s were requisitioned by the us army and navy britain s royal air force and the royal canadian air force two civil lockheed s ordered by british airways ltd were actually intended for covert military espionage sidney cotton modified these aircraft for aerial photography and while pretending to conduct ordinary civil flights used them to overfly and photograph many german and italian military installations during the months preceding world war ii the greatest military user of the lockheed was the royal netherlands east indies army air force which bought sixteen of these were the model a specialized version created by lockheed for training bomber crews which had a caliber machine gun in an unpowered partly retractable gun turret on top of the fuselage a second caliber machine gun fixed in the nose and bomb racks under the wing center section that could hold eight lb bombs the other aircraft were transport versions based on the model several lockheed s were used as technology testbeds bought two adding a center vertical fin to each of them to improve their stability one of the naca lockheed s was used to test hotwing deicing technology in which hot exhaust air from the engines was ducted through the wing s leading edge to prevent ice accumulation three other lockheed s were used to test tricycle landing gear these had their normal landing gear replaced by a nonretracting version with a large nosewheel and with the main wheels shifted further back on the engine nacelles the tailwheel from the normal conventional gear was retained the gear was nonretractable because there was nt room within the structure to stow it in retracted position streamlined fairings were placed on the gear to reduce dragone of the tricycle gear lockheed s went to the us navy as the xjo and performed carrier landing tests on the to study the suitability of a twinengined tricyclegear aircraft for carrier operations another went to the us army as the cb and still another was retained by lockheed for its own testing both gear configuration aviator milo burcham flew a lockheed a in the bendix trophy race from burbank california to cleveland ohiothis a had been modified with extra fuel tanks in the cabin allowing it to save time by making the entire mi trip nonstop the a came in fifth at an average speed of mph this was an impressive performance since the first and fourthplace winners were both privately owned seversky p fighters another lockheed a owned by republic oil company and named the texan was modified by aviator jimmie mattern for a roundtheworld flight attemptmattern filled the a s cabin with fuel tanks and removed the cabin windows and door the crew would enter the aircraft via a cockpit hatch the aircraft was denied a us permit for the flight following the earhart incident however it was pressed into action september in a long range search effort for sigizmund levanevsky who crashed somewhere between the north pole and barrow alaska the texan was outfitted as a luxury transport lockheed built a total of lockheed s ending production in with the arrival of world war ii lockheed concentrated its production efforts on more advanced military aircraft like the hudson bomber and the p lightning twinengined fighter the lockheed s market was left to the beechcraft model thousands of which would eventually be produced a number of lockheed s have survived to the present day mostly in private hands several of these are still flying variants civil

southern scandinavia a maglemosian culture c bc ampndash bc developed the maglemosian people lived in forest and wetland environments using fishing and hunting tools made from wood bone and flint microliths a characteristic of the culture are the sharply edged microliths of flintstone which were used for spear heads and arrowheads microliths finds are more sparse from c bc and the period is said to transit into the kongemose culture c bc ampndash c bc the finds from this period are characterised by long flintstone flakes which were used for making the characteristic blades the erteblle culture c bc bc is the name of a huntergatherer and fisher culture dating to the end of the mesolithic period it was followed by the funnelbeaker culture ampndash bc a culture that originated in southern parts of europe and slowly advanced up through today s uppland sweden tribes along the coasts of svealand gtaland land northeastern denmark and southern norway learnt new technologies that became the pitted ware culture bc bc around bc metal was introduced in scandinavia in the corded ware culture in much of scandinavia a battle axe culture became prominent known from some graves the period bc ampndash bc also left many visible remains to modern times most notably the many thousands rock carvings petroglyphs in western sweden at tanumshede and in norway at alta a more advanced culture came with the nordic bronze age c bc ampndash bc it was followed by the century bc and the roman iron age c ampndash ad ice age the prehistory of sweden begins at the end of the pleistocene epoch at the beginning of holocene epoch following the last ice age the weichselian glaciation at the end of the ice age large parts of south and middle sweden was covered by water parts of denmark scania and the norwegian coast line were free from ice around bc and around bc the rim of ice was around dalsland vstergtland and stergtland it was nt until bc that all of svealand and the modern coastal regions of northeastern sweden were free of ice although the land was by then deeply pressed underwater in scandinavia the time following the ice age begins at circa bc and is called at first the yoldia stage after the yoldia sea then the ancylus stage after the ancylus lake in turn named after ancylus fluviatilis a small freshwater gastropod from this joined and the baltic sea of the age was a fresh water lake called the ancylus lake the ancylus age is followed by formation of the littorina sea and the litorina stage named after the littorina littorea mollusc at around bc with the first human colonization of this new land the territory of modern sweden was partly under water though and with radically different coastlines during the ancylus and litorina ages begins the nordic stone age in recent years there have been archaeological finds in caves which strongly suggest human inhabitation of scandinavia before the weichsel glaciation at least years ago presumably by neanderthals stone age upper paleolithic as the ice receded reindeer grazed on the plains of denmark and southernmost sweden this was the land of the ahrensburg culture whose members hunted over territories km vast and lived in teepees on the tundra on this land there was little forest but arctic white birch and rowan but the taiga slowly when the reindeer and their hunters had moved for northern scandinavia forests had been established in the land a culture called the maglemosian culture lived in denmark and southern sweden and north of them in norway and most of southern sweden the fosnahensbacka culture who lived mostly along the shores of the thriving forests utilizing fire boats and stone tools enabled these stone age inhabitants to survive life in northern europe the northern huntergatherers followed the herds and the salmon runs moving south during the winters moving north again during the summers these early peoples followed cultural traditions similar to those practised throughout other regions in the far north ampndash areas including modern finland russia and across the bering strait into the northernmost strip of north america containing portions of today s alaska and canada during the th millennium bc southern scandinavia was clad in lush forests of temperate broadleaf and mixed forests in these forests roamed animals such as aurochs wisent moose and red deer now their predecessors they also hunted seals and fished in the rich waters north of the kongemose people lived other huntergatherers in most of southern norway and sweden called the nstvet and lihult cultures descendants of the fosna and hensbacka cultures these cultures still hunted in the end of the th millennium bc when the kongemose culture was replaced by the erteblle culture in the south neolithic during the th millennium bc the erteblle culture took up pottery from the linear pottery culture in the south whose members had long cultivated the land and kept animals about bc south scandinavia up to river dallven in sweden became part of the funnelbeaker culture the pitted ware culture then developed along sweden s east coast as a return to a hunting economy in the midth millennium bc see the alvastra piledwelling it is not known what language these early scandinavians spoke it might have been similar to basque due to the distribution of the monuments by early megalith builders towards the end of groups who many scholars think spoke protoindoeuropean the battleaxe culture this new people advanced up to uppland and the oslofjord and they probably provided the language that was the ancestor of the modern scandinavian languages this new culture was individualistic and patriarchal with the battle axe as a status symbol and were cattle herders however soon a new invention would arrive that would usher in a time of cultural advance in scandinavia the bronze age bronze age during the nordic bronze age an advanced civilization manufacturing bronze weapons and bronze and gold jewellery appears in denmark parts of sweden and parts of norway it has been assumed that this civilization was founded in amber trade through contacts with central european and mediterranean cultures the period bc was the most intensive petroglyph carving period consisting of carvings of an agricultural nature and depicting warfare ships domesticated animals etc there has also been found petroglyphs with themes of sexual nature in bohusln these are dated from bc articles on the preroman iron age the vendel age and the roman iron age tacitus about ad described a nation called suiones living on an island in sea these suiones had ships that were peculiar because they had a prow in both ends the shape we recognise as viking ships this word suiones is the same name as anglosaxon sweon whose country was called sweoland svealand in beowulf this tribe is also called sweoeod from which the name sweden is derived and the country has the name sweorice which is an old anglosaxon form of the present swedish name for sweden in the th century the ostrogoth jordanes mentioned a tribe named suehans which is the same name as tacitus suiones he also unwittingly described the same tribe by a different name the suetidi svj and the english sweoeod several sources such as beowulf ynglingatal ynglinga saga saxo grammaticus and historia norwegiae mention a number of swedish kings who lived in the th century such as eadgils ohthere and onela as well as a number of geatish kings some of these kings were in all likelihood historic kings although the sources sometimes give contradictory information such as the death of ottar see mythological kings of sweden and semilegendary kings of sweden in those days the kings were warlords rather than kings as we understand that title today and what was to become sweden norway and denmark in a modern sense were a number of petty kingdoms whose borders changed constantly as the kings killed each other and had the local assemblies accept them as kings the politics of these early kingdoms are retold in beowulf and the norse sagas one of the most powerful kings was the swedish king who according to early sources only ruled what is today eastern svealand it is unknown when it happened and it probably happened several times but when sources become more reliable the territories of the swedish kings include vstergtland and other parts of gtaland this stage is by some considered to be the beginning of sweden as we know it today see also sami history prehistoric sweden notes references weibull curt

 genre action roleplaying game platformer threads of fate known in japan as is a action roleplaying video game developed and published by square now square enix for the playstation console the game was released in japan on october and in north america on july and was rereleased on the playstation network in japan on june and in north america on april threads of fate revolves around two characters rue and mint and their adventure for a mystical object known only as the relic though an official sequel was never released a fanmade sequel called duo princess was created for the pc in japanese gameplay the gameplay is simple and actionoriented rather than turnbased playing more like an action platformer than a traditional menubased rpg such as those in the final fantasy series it is more similar in style to the mana zelda series by nintendo the lead female character mint attacks with a pair of chakrams known as the dual haloes and is a proficient magic user the lead male character rue is more physical and attacks with his axe arc edge he also has the ability to transform into some of the monsters he defeats utilizing their attacks and powers the ring menu used to select mint s magic attacks or rue s shapeshifting is reminiscent of the menu system in secret of mana at the beginning of the game the player is given the choice of playing through the game as either mint or rue depending on the selection the game proceeds with one of two storylines though the quests are very similar the storylines themselves have a branching quality that brings certain scenarios to life in one storyline without remotely mentioning them in the other completing both games will give the player a holistic storyline to weave together from the two as well mint and rue s story will show you that rue and mint s sister maya found another doll dolls of valen the rest is yours to find out plot the two protagonists rue and mint both desire the relic for different reasons rue wanted to revive his dead friend claire who was killed in a confrontation with the arm of death while mint a princess wanted to reclaim her right to the throne from her sister maya threads of fate has a reasonably uncomplicated story and save for its rather unexpected plot twist harbors minimal surprise and suspense with its greatest story pull being in its character interactions aided by flawless localization the simplicity of the story makes its theme oddly obtuse however the game s storyline is based heavily on the distinction between immutable destiny and choice this is most obvious in rue s storyline as he gives many speeches near the end of the game about fighting the will of of the more important characters also follow through on this theme another example of this is mint s destiny because she was thrown from her position it cast her out of high fate in response to this she decided to write her own destiny by skipping the formality of ruling a kingdom and instead simply seeking to take over the world rod s fate too was written by his father pleskin and he expected to be the greatest swordsman of all time capable of defeating his father who held the title because pleskin died rod was left to wallow in the despair of never being able to surpass his father s legacy until lucine helped him realize that he need nt be tied by his assumed fate he instead became a toolong determined to surpass his father s legacy in his own way by becoming the greatest weapon crafter known to the world development and release manga a manga based on the game was planned to be made by ken but the project was scrapped many of his character designs would later be redesigned and used in akamatsu s negima magister negi magi soundtrack the music of threads of fate is composed by junya nakano who has worked on several other games for square hidenori iwasaki did the score s synthesizer programming a soundtrack was released in japan titled dewprism ost and was available via import for several years in other countries the soundtrack though discontinued and out of print was recently given a reprint in august the ost has two discs disc rue and disc mint featuring all of the tracks played throughout the game the tracks are divided between the discs according to which character they fit best much of the mellower music is contained on rue s disc with a fairly small selection of happy tracks or battle tracks while mint s disc contains almost all of the more intrusive tracks playstation network rerelease on may square enix announced threads of fate will be released for

 the dialogical self is a psychological concept which describes the mind s ability to imagine the different positions of participants in an internal dialogue in close connection with external dialogue the dialogical self is the central concept in the dialogical self theory dst as created and developed by the dutch psychologist hubert hermans since the s overview dialogical self theory dst weaves two concepts self and dialogue together in such a way that a more profound understanding of the interconnection of self and society is achieved usually the concept of self refers to something internal something that takes place within the mind of the individual person while dialogue is typically associated with something external that is processes that take place between people involved in communication the composite concept dialogical self goes beyond the selfother dichotomy by infusing the external to the internal and in reverse to introduce the internal into the external as functioning as a society of mind the self is populated by a multiplicity with each other in dialogical self theory dst the self is considered as extended that is individuals and groups in the society at large are incorporated as positions in the minisociety of the self as a result of this extension the self does not only include internal positions eg i as the son of my mother i as a teacher i as a lover of jazz but also external positions eg my father my pupils the groups to which i belong given the basic assumption of the extended self the other is not simply outside the self but rather an intrinsic part of it there is not only the actual other outside the self but also the imagined other who is entrenched as the otherintheself an important theoretical implication is that basic processes like selfconflicts selfcriticism selfagreements and selfconsultancy are taking place in different domains in the self within the internal domain eg as an enjoyer of life i disagree internal and external extended domain eg i want to do this but the voice of my mother in myself criticizes me and within the external domain eg the way my colleagues interact with each other has led me to decide for another job as these examples show there is not always a sharp separation between the inside of the self and the outside world but rather a gradual transition dst assumes that the self as a society of mind is populated by internal and external selfpositions when some positions in the self silence or suppress other positions monological relationships prevail when in contrast positions are recognized and accepted in their differences and alterity both within and between the internal and external domains of the self dialogical relationships emerge with the possibility to further develop and renew the self and the other as central parts of the society at large historical background dst is inspired by two thinkers in particular william james and mikhail bakhtin who worked in different disciplines psychology and literary sciences and in different theoretical traditions pragmatism and dialogism as the composite term dialogical self suggests the present theory finds itself not exclusively in one of these traditions but explicitly at their intersection as a theory about the self it is inspired by william james as a theory about dialogue it elaborates on some insights of mikhail bakhtin the purpose of the present theory is to profit from the insights of founding fathers like william james george herbert mead and mikhail bakhtin and at the same time to go beyond them william james proposed a distinction between the i and the me which according to morris rosenberg is a classic distinction in the psychology of the self according to james the i is equated with the selfasknower and has three features continuity distinctness and volition the continuity of the selfasknower is expressed in a sense of personal identity that is of distinctness from others or individuality is also characteristic of the selfasknower finally a sense of personal volition is reflected in the continuous appropriation and rejection of thoughts by which the selfasknower manifests itself as an active processor of experience of particular relevance to dst is james s view that the me equated with the selfasknown is composed of the empirical elements considered as belonging to oneself james was aware that there is a gradual transition between me and mine and concluded that the empirical self is composed of all that the person can call his or her own not only his body and his psychic powers but his clothes and his house his wife and children his ancestors and friends his reputation and works his lands and horses and yacht and bankaccount according to this view people and things in the environment belong to the self as far as they are felt as mine this means that not only in this way james proposed a view in which the self is extended to the environment this proposal contrasts with a cartesian view of the self which is based on a dualistic conception not only between self and body but also between self and other with his conception of the extended self that defined as going beyond the skin james has paved the way for later theoretical developments in which other people and groups defined as mine are part of a dynamic multivoiced self in the above quotation from william james we see a constellation of characters or selfpositions which he sees as belonging to the memine my wife and children my ancestors and friends such characters are more explicitly elaborated in mikhail bakhtin s metaphor of the polyphonic novel which became a source of inspiration for later dialogical approaches to the self in proposing this metaphor he draws on the idea that in dostoyevsky s works there is not a single author at workdostoyevsky himselfbut several karamazov myshkin raskolnikov stavrogin and the grand inquisitor these characters are not presented as obedient slaves in the service of one authorthinker dostoyevsky but treated as independent thinkers each with their own view of the world each hero is put forward as the author of his own ideology and not as the object of dostoyevsky s finalizing artistic vision rather than a multiplicity of characters within a unified world there is a plurality of consciousnesses located in different worlds as in a polyphonic musical composition multiple voices accompany and oppose one another in dialogical ways in bringing together different characters in a polyphonic construction dostoyevsky creates a multiplicity of perspectives portraying characters conversing with the devil ivan and the devil with their alter egos ivan and smerdyakov and even with caricatures of themselves raskolnikov and svidrigailov inspired by the original ideas of william james and mikhail bakhtin hubert hermans harry kempen and rens van loon wrote the first psychological publication on the dialogical a dynamic multiplicity of relatively autonomous i positions in the extended landscape of the mind in this conception the i has the possibility to move from one spatial position to another in accordance with changes in situation and time the i fluctuates among different and even opposed positions and has the capacity to imaginatively endow each position with a voice so that dialogical relations between positions can be established the voices function like interacting characters in a story involved in processes of question and answer agreement and disagreement each of them have a story to tell about their own experiences from their own stance as different voices these characters exchange information about their respective me s and mines resulting in a complex narratively structured self construction of assessment and research procedures the theory has led to the construction of different assessment and research procedures for investigating central aspects of the dialogical self hubert hermans has constructed the personal position procedure for assessing the internal and external domains of the self in terms of an organized position repertoire this is done by offering the participant a list of internal and external selfpositions the participants mark those positions that they feel as relevant in their lives they are allowed to add extra internal and external positions to the list and phrase them in their own terms the relationship between internal and external positions is then established by inviting the participants to fill out a matrix with the rows representing the internal positions and the columns the external positions in the entries of the matrix the participant fills in on a scale from to the extent to which an internal position is prominent in the relation to an external position the scores in the matrix allow for the calculation of a number of indices such as sum scores representing the overall prominence of particular internal or external positions and correlations showing the extent to which internal or external positions have similar profiles on the basis of the results of by the client or assessor for closer examination from the selected positions the client can tell a story that reflects the specific experiences associated with that position and moreover assessor and client can explore which positions can be considered as a dialogical response to one or more other positions in this way the method combines both qualitative and quantitative analyses psychometric aspects of the ppr method the psychometric aspects of the ppr method was refined a procedure proposed by a kluger nir amp y kluger the authors analyze clients personal position repertoires by creating a biplot of the factors underlying their internal and external positions a biplot provides a clear and comprehensible visual map of the relations between all the meaningful internal and external positions within the self in such a way that both types of positions are simultaneously visible through this procedure clusters of internal and external positions and dominant patterns can be easily observed and analyzed the method allows researchers or practitioners to study the general deep structures of the self there however is to perform a standard principal component analysis pca to obtain a biplot a pca is once performed on the external positions and once on the internal positions with the number of components in both pcas restricted to two next a scatter of the two pcas is plotted on the same plane where results of the first components are projected to the xaxis and of the second components to yaxis in this way an overview of the organization of the internal and external positions together is realized the personality web assessment method another assessment method the personality web is deviced by raggatt this semistructured method starts from the assumption that the self is populated by a number of opposing narrative voices with each voice having its own life story each voice competes with other voices for dominance in thought and action and each is constituted by a different set of affectivelycharged attachments to people events objects and ones own body the assessment attachments are elicited in four categories people events places and objects and orientations to body parts in an interview the history and meaning of each attachment is explored in the second phase participants are invited to group their attachments by strength of association into cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling is used to map the individual s web of attachments this method represents a combination of qualitative and quantitative procedures that provide insight in the content and organization of a multivoiced self selfconfrontation method dialogical relationships are also studied with an adapted version of the selfconfrontation method scm take the following example a client mary reported that she sometimes experienced herself as a witch eager to murder her husband particularly when he was drunk she did a selfinvestigation in two parts one from her ordinary position as mary and another from the position of the witch then she told from each of the positions a story about her past present and a number of sentences it appeared that mary formulated sentences that were much more acceptable from a societal point of view than those from the witch mary formulated sentences like i want to try to see what my mother gives me theres only one of me or for the first time in my life im engaged in making a home home is also coming at home entering into myself whereas the witch produced statements like with my bland pussycat qualities i have vulnerable things in hand from which i derive power at a later moment somebody tells me things that i can use so that i get what i want or i enjoy when i have broken him husband from a power position entering the battlefield it was found that the sentences of the two positions were very different in content style and affective meaning moreover the relationship between mary and the witch seemed to be more monological than dialogical that is either the one or the other was in control no exchange between them after the investigation mary received a therapeutic supervision during which she started to keep a diary in which she learned to make fine discriminations between her own experiences as mary and those of the witch she became not only aware of the needs of the witch but learned also to give an adequate response as soon as she noticed that the energy of the witch was upcoming in a second investigation one year later the intensely conflicting relationship between mary and the witch was significantly reduced and as a result there was less tension and stress in the self she reported that in some situations she even could make good use of the energy of the witch eg when applying for a job whereas in some situations she was in control of the witch in other situations she could even cooperate with her the changes that took place between investigation and investigation suggested that the initial monological relationship between the two positions changed clearly into a more dialogical direction of the polish psychologist piotr ole a group of researchers constructed a questionnaire method called the initial questionnaire for the measurement of three types of internal activity a change of perspective b monologue and c dialogue the purpose of this questionnaire is to induce the subjects selfreflection and determine which i positions are reflected by the participants interlocutors and which of them give new and different points of view to the person the method includes a list of potential positions the participants are invited to choose some of them and can add their own to the list the selected positions both internal and external ones are then assessed as belonging to the dialogue monologue of perspective categories such a questionnaire is wellsuited for the investigation of correlations with other questionnaires for example correlating the initial questionnaire with the revised neo personality inventory neo pir the researchers found that persons having inner dialogues scored significantly lower on assertiveness and higher on people having internal monologues they concluded that people entering into imaginary dialogues in comparison with ones having mainly monologues are characterized by a more vivid and creative imagination fantasy a deep appreciation of art and beauty aesthetics and receptivity to inner feelings and emotions feelings they are curious about both inner and outer worlds and their lives are experientially richer they are willing to entertain novel ideas and unconventional values and they experience positive as well as negative emotions more keenly openness at the same time these persons are more disturbed by awkward social situations uncomfortable around others sensitive to ridicule and prone to feelings of inferiority selfconsciousness they prefer to stay in the background and let others do the talking assertiveness other methods other methods are developed in fields related to dst based on stiles assimilation model osatuke et al describes a method that enables the researcher to compare what is said by a client verbal content and how it is authors are able to assess to what extent the vocal manifestations how it is said of different internal voices of the same client parallel contradict or complement their written manifestations what is said this method can be used to study the nonverbal characteristics of different voices in the self in connection with verbal content dialogical sequence analysis on the basis of mikhail bakhtins theory of utterances leiman deviced a dialogical sequence analysis this method starts from the assumption that every utterance has an addressee the central question is to whom is the person speaking usually we think of one listener as the immediately observable addressee however the addressee is rather a multiplicity of others a complex web of invisible others whose presence can be traced in the content flow and expressive elements of the utterance eg im directly addressing you but while speaking im protesting to a third person who is invisibly present in the conversation when there are more than one addressees into more metaphorical locations usually these locations form sequences that can be examined and made explicit when one listens carefully not only to the content but also the expressive elements in the conversation leimans method which analyzes a conversation in terms of chains of dialogical patterns is theoryguided qualitative and sensitive to the verbal and the nonverbal aspects of utterances fields of application it is not the main purpose of the presented theory to formulate testable hypotheses but to generate new ideas it is certainly possible to perform theoryguided research on the basis of the theory as exemplified by a special issue on dialogical self research in the journal of constructivist psychology and in other publications further on in the present section yet the primary purpose is the generation of new ideas that lead to continued theory research and practice on the basis of links between the central concepts of the theory theoretical advances empirical research and practical applications are and at the biennial international conferences on the dialogical self as they are held in different countries and continents nijmegen netherlands ghent belgium warsaw poland braga portugal cambridge united kingdom athens greece athens georgia usa and the hague netherlands the aim of the journal and the conferences is to transcend the boundaries of sub disciplines countries and continents and create fertile interfaces where theorists researchers and practitioners meet in order to engage in innovative dialogue after initial publication on dst the theory has been applied in a variety of fields cultural psychology psychotherapy personality psychology psychopathology developmental psychology experimental social psychology autobiography social work educational psychology brain science jungian psychoanalysis history cultural anthropology constructivism social constructionism philosophy the psychology of of applications are also reflected by several special issues that appeared in psychological journals in culture amp psychology dst as a theory of personal and cultural positioning was exposed and commented on by researchers from different cultures in theory amp psychology the potential contribution of the theory for a variety of fields was discussed developmental psychology personality psychology psychotherapy psychopathology brain sciences cultural psychology jungian psychoanalysis and semiotic dialogism a second issue of this journal published in was also devoted to dst in the journal of constructivist psychology researchers and practitioners focused on the implications of the dialogical self for personal construct psychology on the philosophy of martin buber on the rewriting of narratives in psychotherapy and on a psychodramatic approach in psychotherapy the topic of mediated dialogue in a global and digital age was at the heart of a special issue in identity an international in counselling psychology quarterly the dialogical self was applied to a variety of topics such as the relationship between adult attachment and working models of emotion paranoid personality disorder narrative impoverishment in schizophrenia and the significance of social power in psychotherapy in the journal of constructivist psychology and in studia psychologica groups of researchers addressed the question of how empirical research can be performed on the basis of dst the relevance of the dialogical self to developmental psychology was discussed in a special issue of new directions for child and adolescent development the application of the dialogical self in educational settings was presented in a special issue of the journal of constructivist psychology evaluation since its first inception in dst is discussed and evaluated particularly at the biennial international conferences on the dialogical self and some of the main positive evaluations and main criticisms are summarized here on the positive side many researchers appreciate the breadth and the integrative character of the theory as the above review of applications demonstrates there is a broad range of fields in psychology and other disciplines in which the theory has received interests from thinkers researchers and practitioners the breadth of interest is also reflected by the range of scientific journals that have devoted special issues to the theory and its implications the theory has the potential to bring together scientists and practitioners from a variety of countries continents and cultures the fifth international conference on the dialogical self in cambridge united kingdom attracted participants from countries the conference focused primarily on dst and dialogism as a related field however by focusing on dialogue dialogical self goes beyond the postmodernism idea of the decentralization of the self and the notion of fragmentation recent work by john rowan has resulted in the publication of a book by in psychotherapy and counselling published by routledge the book shows how to apply the concepts by those working in the therapeutic field criticism the theory and its applications have also received several criticism many researchers have noted a discrepancy between theory and research certainly more than most postmodernist approaches the theory has instigated a variety of empirical studies and some of its main tenets are confirmed in experimental socialpsychological research yet the gap between theory and research still exists closely related to this gap there is the lack of connection between dialogical self research and mainstream psychology although the theory and its applications have been published in mainstream journals like psychological bulletin and the american psychologist it has not yet led to the adoption of the theory as a significant development in main stream american psychology apart from the theoryresearch gap one of the additional reasons for the lacking connection with mainstream research may be the fact that interest in the notion of dialogue is largely neglected in psychology and other social sciences another disadvantage of the theory is that it lacks a research procedure that is sufficiently common to allow for the exchange of research data among investigators although different research tools have been developed see the above review of assessment and research methods none of them are used by a majority of researchers in the field investigators often use different research tools which lead to a considerable richness of information but at the same time create a stumbling block for the comparison of research data it seems that the breadth of the theory and the richness of its applications have a shadowy side in the relative isolation of research in the dst subfields other researchers find the scientific work done thus far to be of a too verbal nature while the theory explicitly acknowledges the importance of prelinguistic nonlinguistic forms of dialogue the actual research is typically taking place on the verbal level with the simultaneous neglect of the nonverbal level for a notable exception culturalanthropological research on shapeshifting more emphasis on the bodily aspects of dialogue up till now the theory has focussed almost exclusively on the transcendence of the selfother dualism as typical of the modern model of the self more work should be done on the embodied nature of the dialogical self for the role of the body in connection with emotions

connections for electricity and pipes for water heating and air conditioning were all underground both the architectural design and the materials used for the buildings were state of the art the heating and air conditioning were centrally controlled considering the natural surroundings to be ideal for cultivation hua visited the valley three times and negotiated with the seller many times he wanted to establish a center for propagating the buddhadharma throughout the world and for introducing the buddhist teachings which originated in the east to the western world hua planned to create a major center for world buddhism and an international orthodox monastery for the purpose of elevating moral standards and raising people s awareness the city comprises acres km of are developed the rest of the land includes meadows orchards and forests large institutional buildings and smaller residential houses are scattered over the west side of the campus the main buddha hall monastic facilities educational institutes administrative offices the main kitchen and dining hall jyun kang vegetarian restaurant and supporting structures are all located in this complex in the walls of the long life hall were subject to structural damage caused by an electrical fire however no major damage occurred to the altar artwork or statues inside the hall sites of interest the jeweled hall of buddhas finished in the hall is adorned with streamers banners lamps and is graced in the center by the presence of an foot m statue of a thousandhanded avalokitevara bodhisattva popularly known as guan yin pusa in chinese and chenrezig in tibetan rows of yellow bowing cushions are lined upon the red carpet walls are adorned with images of the buddha this is where hua often held classes for his disciples in the early years of the city the abbot s quarters where hua dwelled were on the second floor this was also where hua lay in state during the day mourning period now it is a memorial hall that contains relics of the buddha master hsu yun and hua it is closed to the public and opened on special days dharma realm buddhist university in order to raise the level of education among sangha

accreditation in the near future though no specific timetable has yet been announced jyun kang vegetarian restaurant the university canteen serve healthful nutritious food full of the good karma of nonharming tathagata rulai monastery the dorm rooms for monks left home persons and male lay persons persuaded toward the monastic lifestyle great compassion courtyard dorm rooms for guests and visitors bell and drum house houses the instruments that are played daily to ready monastics for daily practice institute for the translation of buddhist texts this facility was active in the early years at the city as a center for translation and as a residence hall for nuns and laywomen the institute has since moved to burlingame california tower of blessings hua allocated the tower of blessings as a home for the elderly monastics residing in the city wonderful words hall site for daily gatherings to listen to hua s taped lectures in the buddhas hall five contemplations dining hall completed in it is where the monastics and resident lay community follow the formal monastic style in taking their and the hall can seat over people instilling goodness elementary and developing virtue secondary schools the elementary kindergarten through th grade and secondary th grade through th grade schools were founded by hua in the schools are divided into two divisions boys and girls and teach such classes as meditation yoga buddhism and world religions many foreign and nonlocal students also reside on campus in school dorms for the duration of the school year excepting winter spring and summer vacations as of spring there were about students in both divisions organic farm a tenacre ccofcertified organic farm whose produce supplements the meals in the dining hall traditions held at the monastery two distinguishing features of the city of ten thousand buddhas are that unlike many other chinese buddhist monasteries the monastics always wear their kasaya sashes long sashes that are worn outside the monastic clothing and they eat only one meal a day and only and rest not lying down to sleep monastics at the city do not have any social lives nor do men and women intermingle whereas many ordinary chinese monks go out to perform rituals for events such as weddings or funerals none of these monks do so some monastics even choose to maintain a vow of silence for varying periods of time they wear a tag saying no talking and do not speak with anyone there are monks and nuns who maintain the precept of not owning personal wealth and not touching money thus eliminating the thought of money and increasing their purity of mind master hua often reminded his disciples in cultivation we have to stick to our principles we ca nt forget our principles our principles are our goal once we recognize our goal forward we go we ve got to be brave and vigorous we ca nt retreat as long as we are vigorous and not lax in ordinary times we could become enlightened any minute let ourselves be confused by thoughts and miss the opportunity to get enlightened atmosphere the city of ten thousand buddhas is a strict buddhist monastery adhering to the traditional asian monastic culture although it is located in a liberal area of california the organic farm and peaceful way of life appeals to most westerners who want an alternate lifestyle this creates an interesting mix of different ideologies while the traditionalists are more drawn to the spiritual and devotional side of buddhism westerners are often more interested in meditation some of the boarding school children are westerners from the local community who want their children to grow up in a communityoriented place while some of the children come from taiwan and mainland china even from european countries such as france belgium and holland where parents think highly of hua the liberalism of westerners and the strict traditionalism of easterners may clash at times unique to the city the monastery houses both male and female sangha students from the boarding school mainland china taiwan and in the west house only monks or only nuns but not both and are closed to the public however males and females have separate campuses with genderneutral buildings in the middle of the campus guiding principles and customs hua set up the six principles for all monastics and lay practitioners to follow as guidelines for spiritual development these principles were to not fight to not be greedy to not seek to not be selfish to not pursue personal advantage and to not lie since spiritual development is a fulltime endeavor certain rules and customs are followed by the community different sections of the campus are designated for men or women and generally the genders do not comingle this is particularly noticeable at ceremonies and meals where men and women separate into different sections out of respect to the lifestyle of the monastics modest clothing is worn by the laity at all times smoking drug use and the consumption of meat products unlike in many temples found in asia no incense is ever offered personally by any of the lay practitioners and guests hua believed that it was totally superstitious to insist on personally offering incense to the buddhas and pointed out that highquality incense is expensive while poor incense can ruin the walls and statues instead a single stick of incense is offered by a monastic for the entire assembly and then all practitioners would simply bow and pay respects wildlife many animals roam the grounds of the city including peacocks deer squirrels and other species the peacocks are generally quite accustomed to the presence of people and are tame peacocks pose a large problem on the farm so countermeasures have been taken against the peacocks including covering the plants moving the peacocks to a walnut farm and planting extra food based on the assumption that a significant fraction will be eaten or damaged by peacocks during special dharma assemblies a liberating of life ceremony is held where many animals set free daily schedule morning morning recitation universal bowing meditation selfstudy breakfast avatamsaka sutra recitation in chinese classes study or work meal offering lunch evening evening recitation lectureclosing recitation largest temple in the western hemisphere another temple known as hsi lai temple located in hacienda heights a city in southern california has claimed since that they are the largest buddhist temple in the western hemisphere however the city of ten thousand buddhas has over acre of builtup land on acre of property as compared to hsi lai temples acre but rather than a temple complex as is hsi lai temple the city of ten thousand buddhas is more of an entire community with several large buildings clustered together therefore it is unclear which is the largest as there is a significant difference between the structure and location of the two buddhist organizations

doctor who producer russell t davies and tenth doctor david tennant the first prize for the competition was to have the monster appear in an episode of doctor who tennant announced the winner on blue peter on august conditions of the competition meant that the monster had to be able to be made from prosthetics and not require cgi russell t davies revealed on the doctor grantham imagined the abzorbaloff to be the size of a doubledecker bus so was initially disappointed to see the final size of his creation however grantham s design had not included size specifications though the remains of the monster s victims on and within his body hinted at his being huge and a larger size would not have fit the criteria of the competition unless the monster were superimposed on footage later on a

his body collapses into liquid and is itself absorbed by the earth abzorbaloff is not the actual name of the species but was coined independently by elton pope and the doctor the monster is seen to

caretaker in which he is killed by pex when dragged into a trap l professor richard lazarus professor richard lazarus as seen in the lazarus experiment is a yearold human scientist using sonic technology to enable rejuvenation funded by harold saxon he is obsessed with immortality despite the risks being taken a malfunction at the first public demonstration of his process mutates his dna causing him to mutate into a large insectoid creature which feeds off the life energy from other beings in order them in the process after going on a rampage lazarus is seemingly killed by the machine which effected his transformation which has been modified by the doctor however he recovers in the ambulance called to remove his body whereupon he feeds on the medics before seeking sanctuary at southwark cathedral the jones sisters lure him up to the top of the belltower while the doctor plays the organ at maximum volume which in conjunction with the sonic screwdriver resonates the church bell and plays havoc with lazarus s genetic structure eventually causing him to fall to his death he then reverts to his aged human form his experiment undone professor lazarus is played by actor and doctor who writer mark gatiss light light was an extremely powerful mentally unstable almost godlike alien being in ghost light long ago he took a survey of all organic life in the universe but almost as soon as he finished it all started changing light the basement of gabriel chase in perivale village london while members of his cargo took over the house in and attempted to integrate into victorian high society after being awoken in following the arrival of the investigating seventh doctor and his companion ace light took the form of an angel and began to campaign against evolution and change deciding to destroy all life so that his catalogue would never be out of date again before he could carry out his plan though the doctor told light that it was futile to oppose evolution and that even he was changing light reacted by turning his power on himself to stop himself changing thus light dissipated in the main hallway of the house paradoxically the emotionally volatile ace then years old burnt down gabriel chase in after sensing an evil presence this was confirmed by the doctor to the older ace to be an echo of light following his dispersal years earlier light s majestic appearance doctor demonstrates near perfect understanding of light pointing to where light will appear and using his mental instability against him lilith lilith leads the carrionite witches in the shakespeare code although disguised in human form for most of the episode her natural form appears more like that than that of other carrionites her human form is of a young attractive woman which she uses to manipulate others for long enough to obtain a sample of their hair which can be used to control them using technology similar to puppets using this she drowns a play censor on dry land and causes one of the doctor s two hearts to suffer cardiac arrest she stops the doctor from reaching the globe therefore letting the carrionites invade earth lilith is played by the actress christina

warrior near the sol system and was forced to land on earth during the th century there he allied himself with the chieftain irongron ostensibly to aid in his war but with the real purpose of returning to the sontaran empire he supplied advanced weapons to his new allies and began to abduct late th century scientists to help repair his ship his plans were foiled by the third doctor as linx was about to escape hal the archer shot him in the probic vent killing him his ship then exploded destroying the castle and the weapons he had supplied to irongron john lumic john lumic was a physically disabled genius and megalomaniac who was the head of cybus industries on a parallel earth among his many inventions were the earpods a highly popular and widespread communications and entertainment device that allowed the brain to directly download information while secretly equipped with a mind control program paralyzed and slowly dying his life prolonged by his ventilator lumic was driven insane by his desperate humans immortal by using homeless people as test subjects this ultimately led to the creation of the parallel universe version of the cybermen he sent a force of cybermen to assassinate the president and the government while having the londoners wearing his earpods march towards the factories to be cyberconverted though he intended to be the last human to be converted the act of his employees smashing his ventilator causes lumic to be unwillingly to be upgraded by the cybermen into a cybercontroller in his status retaining much of his former self lumic engaged the tenth doctor in a debate over conversion before mickey smith disabled the cybermens means to control their emotions that results in their self detonation and causing the conversion factory to catch fire disconnecting himself to regain mobility lumic pursued the doctor and his companions when they escape on his company blimp before the parallel universe pete tyler cuts the rope ladder sending the cyber controller falling back into the blazing factory lumic was played by actor roger lloydpack m malus the awakening at one point the doctor describes this demonic entity as a living being reengineered as an instrument of war he seems to pity the malus claiming that killing is the only thing it knows how to do possessing vast power and capable of combining various time zones it uses its powers to allow real people to pass through down the centuries and create energies including fear that it can feed on to this end it psychically projects hallucinations to sustain itself the malus was travelling on a hakol ship which crashed centuries before the english civil war in it was briefly roused by a battle at the village of little hodcombe but it subsided once both sides had massacred each other when its companion hutchinson dies and its means of feeding blocked by the doctor s tardis it knows it has been defeated it then panics and reverts to its original programming to destroy all that it can the church that housed it for the master master of the land of fiction the master of the land of fiction in the second doctor serial the mind robber was a human writer from the

of the adventures of captain jack harkaway in the ensign a magazine for boys he was freed by the second doctor and returned to his own time he tried to lure the second doctor into becoming his replacement as the controller for the master brain computer the controlling force behind the land of fiction when the doctor outwitted him and proved himself more than a match for both the master brain computer and its human counterpart the computer decided against the wishes of the human controller that the doctor had to be destroyed in order to protect itself however human control from influence by the master brain computer after which the human controller had no memory of what had occurred the master of the land of fiction should not be confused with the doctor s archnemesis the

visited four times in the past each time halving the length of the journey time the urbankans were a greenskinned lizard people four billion of whom apart from monarch himself had been converted into androids monarch was nt totally converted retaining fancies of the flesh time such as the belief that if he could pilot his vast craft faster than light he would be able to travel back before the dawn of time and meet god whom he believed would be himself however his extreme longevity over forty thousand years may point to partial cybernisation or his species could just be naturally longlived being

birthplace gallifrey he had been a member of the high council of time lords and attempted to move time lords from a policy of observation of the universe toward a policy of conquest when the time

crimes his body was dispersed however his brain survived his brain was taken away by the fanatical scientist solon who was planning the resurrection of morbius the fourth doctor and sarah found morbius in solon s castle on the planet karn solon had built a freakish frankenstein s monster body from parts of crashed space travellers including the arm of solon s assistant condo and planned to place morbius brain in it solon drugged the brain but insisted that it would be no crude butchery sarah foiled solon s original plan but he had an alternative container for morbius brain a large glass bowl with two eyestalks although he disapproved of using this claiming it suffered from buildups of static electricity morbius insisted solon attached this to the patchwork body and this time around the plan worked however during the operation when condo went into a fury at seeing his missing arm attached to the body morbius brain was knocked to the floor apparently causing morbius further brain damage the ghoulishly resurrected morbius fought the doctor in a series of violent encounters their final confrontation was a dangerous time lord mental contest called mindbending although morbius nearly won the confrontation sending the doctor into a coma the strain caused his artificial braincase to overload burning out his brain and leaving his body a berserk monster the sisterhood of karn

zones organisation a supranational world government that he developed that diverts solar energy to barren parts of the world increasing food production he also built a secret underground lair in australia with technology that allowed him to trigger volcanoes and earthquakes the lair is staffed by scientists who believe the world has been irradiated by a nuclear war and for some reason they must fight back against the surface by causing natural disasters salamander uses these disasters to his advantage he unseats one rival alexander denes the controller of the central european zone by causing a dormant volcano in hungary to erupt and having denes blamed for negligence he then tries to force denes s deputy to poison him through blackmail as the second doctor was identical to salamander an opposing faction sought the doctor s help to gain more evidence of his misdeeds it later transpires that the group s leader giles kent the former deputy security leader for north africa and europe who was undermined by salamander is just as powerhungry he had previously worked with salamander in developing the secret bunker partick troughton in a dual role at the end of the story salamander tries to flee justice in the tardis by impersonating the doctor however jamie sees through his deception salamander is then sucked out of the ship when the tardis dematerialises with its doors open and is thrown into the timespace vortex scaroth scaroth was the last of the jagaroth a vicious and callous warlike race appearing in the serial city of death the last jagaroth spacecraft exploded upon takeoff on prehistoric earth the energy from that explosion ignited the primordial soup that led to life developing on earth and also fractured scaroth into aspects scattered throughout earth s history each splinter had the ability to communicate with the others and disguising themselves as human together they influenced earth s technological development to the point where the last scaroth who had taken the alias of count scarlioni could construct a time machine travelling into the past to prevent his ship from taking off and thus saving his species selves arranging for priceless art treasures to be passed down to scarlioni one such scheme involved his persona captain tancredi persuading leonardo da vinci to paint six copies of the mona lisa so that in scarlioni could steal the original from the louvre and sell all seven copies on the black market sensing the fractures used by the time travel experiments the fourth doctor and romana stumbled upon scaroth s plans for the painting and foiled them scaroth used the prototype time bubble to travel back into the past anyway to stop his ship from taking off however duggan a private investigator who was aiding the two time lords punched out scaroth at the crucial moment scaroth was then sent back to where the time machine exploded killing him shadow the shadow appeared in the fourth doctor story the armageddon factor he was a servant of the black guardian and at least partially responsible for a war between the planets atrios and zeos the was unstated but when the zeons either were wiped out by the atrian attacks or abandoned their planet rather than continue the war he had a time lord named drax build a computer mentalis which would coordinate the remaining zeon forces once drax completed work on mentalis he realised just who he was working for but was imprisoned by the shadow so as not to disrupt his plan the shadow then hid on a space station in orbit of zeos invisible to either the atrians or mentalis and waited for the doctor to arrive in the meantime mentalis was more successful in fighting the war than the zeons and pushed the atrians to the brink of defeat the shadow knew that the royal family of atrios held the secret of the sixth segment of the key to time and when the fourth doctor arrived he arranged for the doctor and the last survivor of the family princess astra to be kidnapped with this done the shadow ordered mentalis to cease its attacks and duped atrios nuclear attack on zeos the result of which would have been that mentalis would set off an explosion powerful enough to destroy both planets this was intended as a prelude to the black guardian s ultimate plan which would have been to plunge the universe into perpetual unending war as the shadow explained they did not seek any political power but revelled in death and destruction eventually the shadow worked out that astra herself was the sixth segment and transformed her into the segment before he could attach it to the other five which he had stolen from the doctor the doctor took the segments back and with drax s aid dismantled mentalis finally using the tardis the doctor set up a force field which diverted the marshall s missiles into the shadow s space station destroying it the shadow perished in the explosion but not before informing the black guardian of what had happened sil sil is a fictional alien from the television series doctor who first appearing portrayed by nabil shaban sil was the representative of the galatron mining corporation present on the planet varos to extract concessions from the current governor unbeknownst to the varosians the mineral zeiton which was abundant on their planet was not as they thought nearly valueless but in fact rare particularly to time travellers the varosians lived barely above the poverty line due to the exploitation of companies like the galatron mining corporation and others sil was a particularly vile creature by any standard more so since a fault in his translation device made his voice sibilant with a ululating laugh devoid of morality and dedicated to getting the cheapest price he could for zeiton ore by any means he also enjoyed the various tortures which passed for entertainment on varos taking particular delight in making the sixth doctor s companion peri suffer a transformation into an avian creature the doctor interfered with sil s plan and informed the varosians of the true value of their natural resources forcing sil to concede to offer the true value of once again on the planet thoros beta where he was that time involved in arms dealing at the end of the segment of evidence presented by the valeyard in the doctor s trial it appeared that sil was killed by a rampaging king yrcanos it later transpired that the evidence of the matrix had been tampered with so it is not clear whether sil in fact survived sil has been in episodes the first called vengeance on varos and the second the trial of a time lord sil also features in the philip martin s novelisation of the nevermade serial mission to magnus in which he was in league with the ice warriors big finish

with a planned nuclear power station to destroy the planet and use a tribophysical waveform macrokinetic extrapolator to ride the shockwave into space and then to find the surviving members of her family the doctor stopped this and was going to send her back to her home planet even though she would be executed according to raxacoricofallipatorian law she tried to use the extrapolator in conjunction with the rift and the tardis to execute her plan without the power station however the tardis console broke open and she was exposed to the heart of the tardis and with the doctor s encouragement regressed to an egg the doctor rose tyler and jack harkness then took her to the nurseries of raxacoricofallapatorius so that she could start her life afresh she was to appear in the

doctor who rather than the more conventional doctor walter simeon walter simeon was a man who lived in the victorian era at an early age the great intelligence contacted him through a snowman he was building agreeing that other children were silly and that walter did nt need them working with the great intelligence walter unknowingly put all his darkest desires and thoughts into it making it an equal in intellect to him by the time of his golden where he housed his partner in a snowglobe walter planned to take over the world with an army of snowmen animate by the intelligence however to evolve them into humanoid form he needed to create the ice goveness from the genetic template of the latimer family s former governess who drowned in their frozen pond the doctor who had been in retirement stopped him by using a memory worm to erase all walter s memories the intelligence then used his body as a puppet to attack the doctor however when it became overcome by the grief the

created as well as supplying the aliens with hypnotic mindcontrol devices to gain full control of the human armies the war chief is apparently killed when the war lord realises he has been plotting against him the book legions of death posits an explanation for the war chief s survival after his apparent execution in the confusion no one realised that the war chief could regenerate although mortally wounded he dragged himself to a sidrat and fled regenerating to a safe hideout where his own tardis awaited for a long time he laid low unwilling to risk discovery by the time lords or by the failure of the plot and vice versa while hiding out the war chief improved the hypnotic machinery of the war lords and plotted a return to power during this time he developed a keen interest in the romans he studied them closely and slowly formulated a plan to infiltrate the imperial government of rome and reshape history to his own ends war lord the war lord was the leader of an unnamed alien

xoanon was a malevolent artificial intelligence encountered by the fourth doctor in the face of evil xoanon was inadvertently created by the doctor on a previous visit to its unnamed planet centuries prior when he had programmed the computer belonging to a mordee expedition that had crashed on the planet the doctor forgot to wipe his personality print from the computer s data core and as a result the computer developed multiple personalities half of them based on the doctor himself for generations their control and became almost a living creature it utilised the appearance of the fourth doctor to the extent of having an effigy in the doctor s image carved out on a cliffface its split personality was reflected in it dividing the expedition into two tribes of technicians who became the tesh and the survey team the sevateem justifying its madness by thinking it was part of an experiment to create a superhuman race with the tesh providing mental powers and the sevateem with their strength and independence enslaving the tribes it earned the name of the evil one when the doctor returned to the maddened world and saw the fruits of his mistakes xoanon tried to destroy itself and the entire planet rather than be defeated by the doctor however the doctor managed to remove his personality print from the core restoring the computer intelligence to sanity and becoming a benign entity to the two tribes you have to trust someone eventually the doctor says y professor yana was a mad scientist who planned to destroy the world in the second doctor story the underwater menace some of his scientific inventions included food made from plankton and the ability to graft gills to humans to enable them to breathe underwater as part of his diabolical plans he allied himself with the leaders of atlantis telling them he would raise their city back to the surface or lower the ocean level by draining the water through a fissure in the earth s crust the doctor immediately realised that this would create super heated steam that could destroy the earth zaroff was defeated when the doctor and his companions sabotaged the generator he was using to pump the water zaroff was left to drown when his laboratory filled with water after the sea walls protecting it collapsed he is fondly recalled by doctor who fans as one of the most overthetop villains in the entire history of the show

 the tactical assault groups tag are military counterterrorism units in australia at present there are two tactical assault groups based on opposite sides of the country as such they are individually identified as being either tag east based in sydney or tag west based in perth both groups are structured to conduct offensive domestic counterterrorist operations focusing on direct action and hostage recovery each assault group maintains a short notice capability to conduct military operations beyond the scope of state and federal police tactical groups these aims are achieved through various highly specialised skill sets niche capabilities and supporting australian defence force adf units such as those from the special operations engineer regiment and st aviation squadron history the sydney hilton bombing on february was the catalyst for the commonwealth government to initiate an urgent review of security procedures to combat the threat of international terrorism the antiterrorist agencies the australian federal police and the australian security intelligence organisation were placed on heightened alert and a protective security establishment of a standing advisory committee on commonwealth state cooperation for protection against violence which would be primarily responsible for the coordination and funding of various organisations involved he also directed that police forces around australia absorb the counterterrorist role however a study by sir robert mark at that time recently retired from the london metropolitan police concluded that this was a task for sophisticated soldiery and should not be given to the police but rather to the army sir roberts advice was further strengthened by the ironbark report written by colonel john essexclark in which he advised the urgent formation of a special counterterrorist force within the army in august it was proposed to allocate the task of raising training and sustaining the conterterrorist force to the special air service regiment to follow similar lines from the british army with their counterterrorist team from within their sas the force was to be called the tag and was to be commanded by the commanding officer sasr on may the government approved with final authorisation to raise the tag given on august the tasks allocated to the group included the neutralisation including capture of terrorist groups which might include snipers hijackers kidnappers bombers or assassins and the neutralisation of aircraft or ships the recovery of hostages and property held by terrorists and the recovery of buildings and installations held by terrorists the training began officially in march and the force became fully operational in the following may in july the sasr was directed to develop an offshore maritime capability concerned primarily with retaking bass strait oil rigs in the event of terrorist capture these operations were to be handled by a dedicated water operations team which included navy personnel from the rans clearance diving teams who were placed under operational control of the sasr from august as part of the tag tag east was raised on july in order to increase the adf s domestic counterterrorist capability which was redesignated tag west the dual basing enables the adf to readily respond to simultaneous and geographically separate domestic incidents organisation at present there are two tactical assault groups tag east and tag west each belongs to a different parent unit and each protect a different domestic geographical area of australia tag east draws its members from the nd commando regiment and rotates one company through the role for a predetermined length of time it is also supplemented with personnel from the royal australian navy s clearance diving teams the royal australian navy component consists of an operations officer a clearance diver cd assault platoon one team of cd maritime snipers and an underwater medic approximately clearance divers are permanently attached to the group at any one time tag east provides the primary response to terrorism within australia tag west draws its members from the special air service regiment and rotates one squadron through the role for a predetermined length of time tag west has primary responsibility for oil platforms and also internationaloverseas incidents both have worldclass training facilities including advanced outdoor closequarters battle ranges mout villages urban ct complexes fullsize aircraft mockups and sniper ranges both participate in natex national antiterrorism exercises several times each year exercises are conducted to test elements of the australian defence force including the two tactical assault groups special operations command australia

 bah history is often traced through a sequence of leaders beginning with the bb s may declaration in shiraz and ultimately resting on an administrative order established by the central figures of the religion the religion had its background in two earlier movements in the nineteenth century shaykhism and babism shaykhism centred on theosophical doctrines and many shaykhis expected the return of the hidden twelfth imam many shaykhis joined the messianic babi movement in the s where the bb proclaimed himself to be the return of the hidden imam as the babi movement spread in iran violence broke out between the ruling shia muslim government and the babis and ended when government troops massacred the babis and executed the bab in the bab had spoken of another messianic figure he whom god shall make manifest one of the followers of the bab bahullh was imprisoned by the iranian government after the bab s execution and then exiled to iraq and then to constantinople and adrianople in the ottoman be the messianic figure expected by the bab s writings bah s consider the bahai religion to start from bahullh s statements in at the time of bahullh s death the tradition was mostly confined to the persian and ottoman empires at which time he had followers in thirteen countries of asia and africa leadership of the religion then passed on to abdulbah bahullh s son who was appointed by bahullh and was accepted by almost all bah s under the leadership of abdulbah the religion gained a footing in europe and america and was consolidated in iran where it still suffers intense persecution after the death of abdulbah in the leadership of the bah community was passed on to his grandson shoghi effendi who was appointed in abdulbah s will the document appointed shoghi effendi as the first guardian and called for the election of the universal house of justice once the bah faith had spread sufficiently for such elections to be meaningful religion there was a great increase in the number of bahais and he presided over the election of many national spiritual assemblies shoghi effendi died in and because he was childless he had found it impossible to appoint another guardian after himself to succeed him in the universal house of justice was elected since the universal house of justice has been elected every five years and remains the successor and leading institution of the religion see bah faith by country for further information per country shaykhi movement in islam the mahdi is a messianic figure who is believed to be a descendant of muhammad who will return near the end of time to restore the world and the religion of god while both sunni and shia groups believe in the mahdi the largest shia group the twelvers believe that the mahdi is the twelfth imam muhammad almahdi who is believed to have gone into occultation since ce in the twelver view the twelfth imam first went into a where the hidden imam still communicated with the community through four official intermediaries the greater occultation is then defined from the time when the hidden imam ceased to communicate regularly until the time when he returns to restore the world shaykh ahmad alahs the shaykhi movement was a school of theology within twelver shia islam that was started through the teaching of shaykh ahmad alahs shaykh ahmad s teachings included that the imams were spiritual beings and thus in contrast to the widespread shia belief that the imams existed within spiritual bodies and not material bodies he also taught that there must always exist the perfect shia who serves as an intermediary between the imams and the believers and is the one who can visualize the consciousness of the hidden imam in he left iran and went to iraq due to the controversy that his teachings had brought there he also found himself at the centre of debate thus deciding to move to mecca he died in on his of shaykh ahmad he appointed siyyid kzim of rasht to lead the shaykh movement which he did until his death in siyyid kzim formulated many of the thoughts that were ambiguously expressed by shaykh ahmad including the doctrine of salvation history and the cycles of revelation his teaching brought a sense of millenarian hope among the shaykhis that the hidden imam may return siyyid kazim did not leave a successor but before his death in december he had counselled his followers to leave their homes to seek the mahdi who according to his prophecies would soon appear bb siyyid almuhammad who later took on the title the bb was born on october in shiraz to a merchant of the city his father died while he was quite young and the boy was raised by his maternal uncle j mrz siyyid al who was also a merchant in may the bb proclaimed to mulla husayn one of the shaykhis to be the one whose coming was of divine knowledge within five months seventeen other disciples of siyyid kim had recognized the bb as a manifestation of god these eighteen disciples were later to be known as the letters of the living and were given the task of spreading the new faith across iran and iraq the bb initially attracted most of the followers of the shaykh movement but soon his teachings went far beyond those roots and attracted prominent followers across iran his followers were known as bbs after some time preaching by the letters of the living led to opposition by the islamic clergy prompting the governor of shiraz to order the bb s arrest after being house arrest in shiraz from june to september the bb spent several months in isfahan debating clergy many who became sympathetic he was then ordered by the shah to tehran in january after spending several months in a camp outside tehran the prime minister sent the bb to tabriz in the northwestern corner of the country where he was confined in the province of azarbaijan close to the turkish border during his incarceration there the bb began his most important work the persian bayn which he never finished he was then transferred to the fortress of chihrq in april in that place as well the bb s popularity grew and his jailors relaxed restrictions on him hence the prime minister ordered the bb back to tabriz where the government called on religious authorities to put the bb on trial for blasphemy and apostasy bbism was also spreading across the country and the islamic government saw it as a threat to state religion and several military confrontations took place between government and bb forces communities of bbs established themselves in iran and irq and in reached several cities of azarbaijan in mid a new primeminister amir kabir in the remains were then interred in a special tomb erected for this purpose by abdulbah on mount carmel in the bah holy land in haifa and remains an important place of pilgrimage station of revelation he also claimed no finality for his revelation a constant theme in his works especially the persian bayan was that of the great promised one the next embodiment of the primal will whom the bb termed he whom god shall make manifest promised in the sacred writings of previous religions would soon establish the kingdom of god on the earth in the books written by the bb he constantly entreats his believers to follow he whom god shall make manifest when he arrives before his death the bb had been in correspondence with two brothers bahullh and subhiazal who after the death of many prominent disciples emerged as the mostly likely leaders in a letter sent to subhiazal then aged around nineteen the bb appears to have indicated a high station or leadership position the letter also orders subhiazal to obey the promised one when he appears in practise subhiazal however seems to have had little widespread legitimacy and authority bahullh in the meantime while in kept his messianic secret from most and supported subhiazal in the interest of unity in in baghdad he made his first public declaration and eventually was recognized by the vast majority of bbs as he whom god shall make manifest and his followers began calling themselves bah s bahullh bahullh was born on november in tehran bahullh s father was entitled mrz buzurg while he served as vizier to immvirdi mrz the twelfth son of fath ali shah qajar mrz buzurg was later appointed governor of burujird and lorestan a position that he was stripped of during a government purge when muhammad shah came to power after his father died bahullh was asked to take a government post by the new vizier haji mirza aqasi but he declined the position at the age of bahullh received a messenger mull husayn telling him of the bb whose message he accepted becoming a bb bahullh began to spread the new cause especially in his native province of believers the accompanying government suppression of the bb s religion resulted in bahullh s being imprisoned twice and enduring bastinado torture once bahullh also attended the conference of badasht where prominent babis met for days at that conference where there was a discussion between those babis who wanted to maintain islamic law and those who believed that the bb s message began a new dispenation bahullh took the prochange side which eventually won out in two years after the execution of the bb the bbs was polarized with one group speaking of violent retribution against the shah nasseraldin shah while the other under the leadership of bahaullah looked to rebuild relationships with the government and advance the bab cause by persuasion and the example of virtuous living the militant group of babis was between thirty and seventy persons only a small number of the total babi population of perhaps their meetings appear to have come under the control of a husayn jan an emotive and magnetic figure who obtained a high degree met briefly with a couple of the radical babi leaders and learned of an assassination plan he condemned the plan but was soon asked to leave tehran by the authorities on august about babis attempted the assassination of the shah and failed notwithstanding the assassins claim that they were working alone the entire bb community was blamed and a slaughter of several thousand bbs followed amidst the general violence some bbs were imprisoned in the syhchl black pit an underground dungeon of tehran according to bahullh perhaps the lone survivor it was during his imprisonment in the syhchl that he had several mystical experiences and that he received a vision of a maiden from god through whom he received his mission as a messenger of god and as the one whose coming the bb had prophesied the government later found bahullh innocent of complicity in the assassination plot and he was released from the syhchl but the government exiled him from iran bahullh chose to go to early a small number of babis including his halfbrother subhiazal followed bahullh to baghdad an increasing number of bbs considered baghdad the new centre for leadership of the bb religion and a flow of pilgrims started coming there from persia in baghdad people began to look to subhiazal for leadership less and less due to his policy of remaining hidden and instead saw bahullh as their leader subhiazal started to try to discredit bahullh and further divided the community the actions of subhiazal drove many people away from the religion and allowed its enemies to continue their persecution on april bahullh left baghdad in order to distance himself from subhiazal and as to avoid becoming the source of disagreement within the babi community he left with one companion to the mountains of kurdistan northeast of baghdad near the city sulaymaniyah for two years bahullh lived alone in the mountains of kurdistan living the life of a sufi dervish at one point someone noticed his remarkable penmanship which brought the curiosity of time in kurdistan he wrote many notable books including the four valleys in baghdad given the lack of firm and public leadership by subhiazal the babi community had fallen into disarray some babis including bahullh s family thus searched for bahullh and pleaded with him to come back to baghdad which he did in bahullh remained in baghdd for seven more years during this time while keeping his perceived station as the manifestation of god hidden he taught the bb s teachings he published many books and verses including the book of certitude and the hidden words bahullh s gatherings attracted many notables both locals and iranian pilgrims giving him greater influence in baghdad and in iran his rising influence in the city and the revival of the persian bb community gained the attention of his enemies in islamic clergy and the persian government they were eventually successful in having the ottoman government call bahullh from baghdad to constantinople before he left baghdad on the way to constantinople bahullh baghdad starting on april during his stay in the garden a large number of friends came to see him before he left it was during his time in the garden of ridvn that bahullh declared to his companions his perceived mission and station as a messenger of god today bah s celebrate the twelve days that bahullh was in the garden of ridvn as the festival of ridvn after travelling for fourmonth over land bahullh arrived in the capital of the ottoman empire constantinople now istanbul although not a formal prisoner yet the forced exile from baghdad was the beginning of a long process which would gradually move him into further exiles and eventually the penal colony of akk palestine now acre israel bahullh and his family along with a small group of bbs stayed in constantinople for only four months due to his refusal to build alliances with the ottoman politicians bahullh had no means of resisting pressure from the iranian ambassador to exile him further away edirne which was a site for the exile of political prisoners during the month of december bahullh and his family embarked on a twelveday journey to adrianople bahullh stayed in adrianople for four and a half years in adrianople bahullh made his claim to be him whom god shall make manifest more public through letters and tablets bahullh s assertion as an independent manifestation of god made subhiazal s leadership position irrelevant subhiazal upon hearing bahullh s words in a tablet read to him challenging him to accept bahullh s revelation refused and challenged bahullh to a test of divine will at a local mosque but he lost face when he did not appear this caused a break within the bb community and the followers of bahullh became known as bah s while the followers of subhiazal became known as azalis starting in while in adrianople bahullh started writing a series of letters to world rulers proclaiming his station as the promised one of all religions his letters together to settle disputes and endeavour towards the betterment of the world and its peoples some of these leaders written to in the coming years include pope pius ix napoleon iii of france czar alexander ii of russia queen victoria of great britain and ireland nsiriddn shh of the persian empire and the rulers of america the disagreements between the bah s and the azals allowed the ottoman and persian authorities to exile bahullh once again bahullh and his family left adrianople on august and after a journey by land and sea arrived in acre on august the first years in acre imposed very harsh conditions on and held very trying times for bahullh mirz mihd bahullh s son was suddenly killed at the age of twentytwo when he fell through a skylight while pacing back and forth in prayer and meditation after some time the people and officials began to trust and respect bahullh and thus the conditions of the imprisonment were eased and eventually after sultan city and visit nearby places from until bahullh lived in the house of mazraih the final years of bahullh s life were spent in the mansion of bahj just outside acre even though he was still formally a prisoner of the ottoman empire during his years in acre and bahj bahullh produced many volumes of work including the kitbiaqdas on may bahullh contracted a slight fever which grew steadily over the following days abated and then finally took his life on may he was buried in a shrine located next to the mansion of bahj during his lifetime communities of bah s were established in armenia burma egypt georgia india lebanon what is now pakistan what was then palestine sudan syria turkey and turkmenistan abdulbah bahullh was succeeded by his eldest son abdulbah designated as the center of the covenant and head of the faith bahullh designated him in writings abdulbah had shared his father s long exile and imprisonment this imprisonment continued until abdulbah s own release as a result of the young turk revolution in the remains of the bb were buried on march in a sixroom mausoleum made of local stone following his release he led a life of travelling and speaking especially and maintaining correspondence with communities of believers and individuals expounding the principles of the bah faith abdulbah died in haifa on november and is now

opening of the academy and the observatory his assistant moved up to replace him as the head of the observatory when hoffmann died in the son of gottfried kirch became his successor he was aided in his work on the calendar by his mother maria margaretha kirch and his sister just like he and his mother once helped his father his mother died in from activities by j g schtz after the death of christfried kirch took on the post of director in for many years the calculations for the calendar were continued the most part by christine kirch she was also responsible for the keeping of the accounts during the years of old observatory questions of astronomy were also discussed and grappled with in berlin by the likes of among others leonhard euler joseph louis lagrange and johann heinrich lambert in giovannisalvemini aka johann castillon received the position of first astronomer in the observatory received a mural quadrant constructed by john bird their first really important observing instrument this device can now be seen in babelsberg observatory johann iii bernoulli served for many years as director of the old observatory starting from and he was succeeded in by johann elert bode lambert fetched bode to berlin in in order to publish an almanac after lambert death bode became the sole editor the for had already appeared by initiating the longestlasting publication series in astronomy lasting until by virtue of this medium berlin observatory developed into an information source of prime importance within europe originally bode had the venerable christine kirch to assist him with the work on the calendar in he married a granddaughter of one of her sisters she was likewise entrusted with astronomical work in line with the kirch family tradition christine kirch died in as director of the observatory bode was able through favors from friedrich wilhelm iii to extend the till then rather thirdclassequipped institution with a second observing level when bode entered a petition to this effect on november space for observing within the tower was still limited to the third storey the two storeys over it were united to a single spacious level from there the observing activities could be extended once the calculated cost of talers and the plan was approved on april and construction work was supervised by oberhofbaurat and schlossbaumeister bock in johann georg von soldner arrived in berlin as bode s coworker and in in the astronomische jahrbuch for appeared soldner s work on the weight of light with implications for the curving of light rays in a gravitational field in came to berlin and assisted bode with his astronomical observations and his work on the jahrbuch in which also the first of his own articles appeared oltmanns also became an assistant to alexander von humboldt and processed the positional data from his just completed research expedition through mid and south america during this work humboldt was ordered to paris on a diplomatic mission after napoleon s occupation of berlin in and oltmanns followed him in until the astronomical institute financed itself almost exclusively from the monopoly on the calendar calculations which had been conferred on the academy at the time of its founding in that year the academy lost its calendar privileges and became dependent on the state budget and successor to by virtue of bode s retirement both carl friedrich gau and friedrich wilhelm bessel turned the post down on the recommendation of bessel johann franz encke since director of the was called to berlin by king friedrich wilhelm iii in and named director of the berlin observatory thanks to the influence of alexander von humboldt expensive instruments were obtained and with his aid encke was also able to get the prussian king to agree to the construction of a new observatory situated on the edge of the city at that time a condition was that the observatory should be made available to the public on two evenings in the week the new telescope and main instrument was a refractor from the mnchen munich workshop of joseph von fraunhofer with an inner aperture of inches cm and an inner focal length of meters humboldt submitted a request for its purchase on october including a meridian circle from the instrument maker of berlin and a chronometer from the friedrich wilhelm iii granted taler for the refractor taler for the meridian circle and taler for the chronometer the refractor was the last great telescope from fraunhofer that was still available in mnchen at the same time humboldt received from the king the authority for the storage of associated documents in the kultusministerium cultural ministry the fraunhofer refractor arrived in berlin on march today it is in the deutsches museum in munich on april five days before the departure of humboldt on his russian expedition he received a royal commission for the new observatory project planned by the architect karl friedrich schinkel and its construction at the desired location after his return on may humboldt requested schinkel by letter for a design on august the purchase of a building plot for the new observatory was authorized the tower of the old observatory served as telegraphenstation between and one of the stations of on july the tower was torn down the entire area of the marstall complex between dorotheenstrae and unter den linden was taken over in by the berlin state library new berlin observatory the construction of the new berlin observatory proceeded from a cabinet order of november according to the design of schinkel an approx one hectare plot was acquired in the vicinity of the at a price of talers at a position formed by the acuteangled intersection of the and friedrichstrae in the presentday area of berlinkreuzberg the foundation stone was laid on october and the observatory was ready by on the area currently bounded by encke bessel und markgrafenstrae an der lindenstrae the southern end of the charlottenstrae and foreruner of the was later named enckeplatz in honor of the director at that time and the observatory acquired the address of enckeplatz a heute enckestrae the twostorey building was a plastered building in simple hellenic style as a link between the modern and antique to the east with its longest arm at the meeting point of thearms of the cross was placed a rotating iron dome with a diameter of meters it was the first observatory dome in prussia in the form of a hemisphere with a slit opening and rotation mechanism the foundations of the actual observatory was separate from the other buildings to avoid transmission of vibrations under the dome was the library in the upper storey were further observational spaces as well as scientific work areas the long east wing housed the living quarters of the director on the ground floor and was adorned with a temple front which as the main frontage showed the god of light apollo with quadriga in relief on the gables to the east of the building stood a small house with the living quarters of the castellan on april encke could move into the new observatory along with his newly appointed assistant johann gottfried galle on th may the first observations were carried out although the building was only fully to become assistant to encke a considerable time before the building became ready for occupancy in may of the same year friedrich wilhelm bessel who had been called from knigsberg occupied the magnetische huschen little magnetic house in the grounds of the observatory see freydanck s painting on this page and for three months carried out pendulum observations there for the creation of a new prussian measurement of length in encke discovered with the fraunhofer refractor the gap in the rings of saturn named after him and in galle discovered a further dark ring of saturn the cring as well as three new comets from to on september galle and astronomy student heinrich louis darrest since assistant at the observatory discovered the planet neptune on the basis of positional calculations send by the frenchman urbain le verrier after an initial lack of success he was helped by consulting on the recommendation of darrest the newly published berliner akademischen sternkarte by the letter from le verrier day as encke s th birthday who gave his permission to search around the given celestial positions see also discovery of neptune at other observatories the request of the french astronomer was viewed as not having sufficiently promising chances of success of detecting another large planet on the basis of the deviations between theory and observations for the orbit of uranus this included paris observatory whose director le verrier later became by virtue of the discovery of neptune berlin observatory gained worldwide renown beyond that they did much work on the calculation of orbits of comets and asteroids galle was called to become director of the observatory in breslau in in karl christian bruhns was added as second assistant to encke and in he became first assistant in wilhelm foerster received a position as second assistant from giovanni schiaparelli studied at the institution for two years when bruhns transferred to leipzig in foerster became his successor as first assistant in the same the asteroid erato after encke fell ill in he stood in as his deputy and in the year encke died he became director of the observatory the observatory at this time was the most important astronomical research and educational institution in deutschland in viktor knorre came as observator by he had discovered the asteroids koronis oenone hypatia und penthesilea from until the beginning of the s karl friedrich kstner was also employed as observator he discovered in this time the polar motion as a result of his measurement activities from to arthur auwers compliled in berlin his fundamentalkatalog a comprehensive star catalog containing stars on the north wing of the observatory was the height reference point for prussia known in german as normalnull the marking was formally presented on the nd birthday of kaiser wilhelm i on march this point was derived from the amsterdamer pegel led the observatory until the end of his life in it was his impulse that led to the erection of the astrophysikalischen observatoriums potsdam in for on the telegrafenberg in potsdam on the telegrafenberg stood formerly the telegraphenstation which given the hill its name in the same year foerster founded the berlin astronomische recheninstitut as recheninstitut zur herausgabe des berliner astronomischen jahrbuchs on the basis of the ever growing extent of calculation of astronomical ephemerides which occupied its own building at lindenstrae but on the grounds and in association with the obeservatory most of the astronomers now worked in this theoretical section separate from the practical observational section unter foersters oberaufsicht wurde das recheninstitut von dem dirigenten the section was led by friedrich tietjen who had been working at the obervatory since in he discovered the asteroid semele after tietjens death julius bauschinger was called to berlin in as his successor in the following year he achieved in making the institute into a new building in berlinlichterfelde in it was placed under the control of the navy and transferred to sermuth in saxony to avoid the bombing after the second world war the greater part was brought to heidelberg in only a small remaining section returned to the observatory which by now had moved to potsdambabelsberg and it was again incorporated in because foerster was not a member of the academy the observatory was separated from the academy in and affiliated to the toolong the original academy observatory had already been used by the university since the founding of berlin university in in friedrich simon archenhold became a worker at the observatory and erected on the instructions of foerster a photograpic outpost on the halensee in grunewald for the photographing of nebulae at the end of the th century the rapid growth of berlin led to the fact that the observatory which was once on the edge of the city was now fully surrounded by buildings and therefore it became no longer possible to engage in the middle of the s therefore wilhelm foerster and others proposed the building of a new observatory outside of the metropolitan area in hermann von struve took over from foersters as the director of the observatory under his leadership research was considerably extended and the project of yet another move took on concrete form after test observations in the surrounding area starting from june by paul guthnick who had been active at the observatory as observator since following on from his training as an assistant at the observatory from to the decision made by the kultusministeriums fell in favor of his recommended location in the schlosspark babelsberg in potsdam the location given up on the lindenstrae was listed by the international astronomical union iau under their observatory codes as before its demolition the normalhhenpunkt of was replaced by the outside of berlin at a current district of mncheberg laid underground a few of the observational instruments went to the hew location a new cm refractor von zeissrepsold with cm aperture and m focal length a zoll inch refractor from and a zoll refractor from merz amp mahler after the demolition of the building itself part of the grounds were used in for a new road which has been called enckestrae since from the street was built up with among others the berlinbabelsberg observatory in the observatory moved again after years in its second home the observatory in kreuzberg was cleared out and torn down in august the sale of the land covered the cost of the construction of the new building million goldmarks and the purchase of new instruments to the sum of goldmarks the land itself on the babelsberg in the schlosspark cost the royal establishment nothing the hill giving the area its name is situated about three kilometers northeast of the telegrafenberg the construction of the main building was carried out between and by mertins w eggert beringer the move was supervised by the precision engineering company who also manufactured an astrograph and a meridian circle the first of the new instruments arrived in spring in the year after the placing of a cm refractor was completed it was the first large astronomical instrument from carl zeiss in jena in followed the completion of a cm reflecting telescope at the time the secondlargest telescope in the world and the largest in europe after the second world war the reflecting telescope was dismantled and was shipped off to the soviet union as reparations a fate shared by other observing instruments it was sent to the crimea complete with its dome to reconstruct the crimean astrophysical observatory simejis destroyed in the war where it is still in service today in the remaining torso of the building was fully restored and completed and received a new dome since then the library of the leibnizinstitut fr astrophysik potsdam has been accommodated there struve remained as director until his knigliche sternwarte zu berlinbabelsberg or berlinneubabelsberg and then from until it became the at berlinbabelsberg after hermann struve the directorship passed over to paul guthnick in and he remained as a longserving director until apart from this post his main body of work concerned the photometry of stars and the investigation of variable stars with a new photometer the new location in the original schlosspark was a part of the gemeinde the villa settlement of neubabelsberg was united in with the town of to form the town of babelsberg then almost straightaway in this became incorporated into potsdam the designation berlinbabelsberg was nevertheless retained by the observatory for a few years still only

name from the park in the area origin of name the precinct is named after manuka circle the street which forms the northern boundary of the precinct manuka circle was on walter burley griffin s original plan for canberra and named after the new zealand tea tree leptospermum scoparium the name manuka is somewhat peculiar in that it is pronounced by local canberrans differently from the tree from which it gets its name locally compared to for the tree when griffin drew up his plans in there was still some optimism that new zealand might join the federation of australia griffin s plans included eight avenues radiating out from capital hill named after the capitals of the six states the capital of the northern territory and the capital gazetted it was realised that new zealand was not going to become part of a federation of australasia and the name was replaced by canberra avenue griffin planned that the state capital city avenues were terminated with a park named after the generic botanical name for a native plant from that particular site for example telopea park is named after the waratah the floral emblem of new south wales and is at the end of sydney avenue named after the capital of new south wales another remnant of griffin s nomenclature was the wellington hotel formerly on the corner of canberra avenue and national circuit which was demolished and replaced by the hotel known in as rydges capital hill canberra history business allotments for manuka were included in the first auction of city leases in december at the same time leases were sold in the city braddon kingston forrest and red hill lessees were required to erect buildings of approved design on the blocks within three years the called eastlake and manuka which were within half a mile of each other had been made in the absence of sir john sulman the chair of the federal capital advisory committee he later recorded his disapproval of the decision sulman had designed manuka and it was intended to be the principal commercial centre on the south side the decision to allow the development of eastlake meant that in manuka investment lagged and building was slow eastlake was preferred by residents as a business centre because of the bigger shops and closer proximity to more homes as well as being closer to the previously only substantial shop in the territory which had been near the kingston railway station the opening of the capitol theatre and the convent school associated with st christopher s catholic cathedral allowed the manuka businesses to develop competitively manuka

 is the oldest and largest school of ikebana or japanese floral art in japan it was founded in the th century by the buddhist monk ikenob senno the school currently headed by its th generation headmaster ikenob senei is based in the rokkakud temple in kyoto additionally ikenobo has hundreds of chapters around the world history the custom of placing flowers on the altar began when buddhism was introduced to japan by way of korea in about the rokkakud temple is the site of the birth and earliest development of ikebana the name rokkaku refers to the hexagonal shape of the temple rokkakud temple was founded by prince shtoku in the th century to enshrine a nyoirin kannon bosatsu the goddess of mercy near a pond ike where prince shtoku bathed a small hut b priest s lodge monk s living house attached to a buddhist temple was built and became the home of succeeding generations of buddhist priests this grounds there is a stone called hesoishi it means bellybutton stone it is said that it was the foundation stone of the original temple because this temple existed before the transfer of the national capital to kyoto in it has been said that the position is the center of kyoto in the heian period apart from altar offerings the practice of enjoying flowers displayed beautifully in a vase also became popular poems novels and essays from that time contain many passages which describe the appreciation of flowers used in this way not satisfied with merely appreciating flowers in a vase japanese people in the early th century tried to give wider meaning to placing flowers in a vase an earlier attitude of passive appreciation developed into a more deeply considered approach this approach forms the basis of what we call ikebana today according to a thcentury manuscript the two of the most popular flower arrangers of the time were the ikenobo master senkei and ryuami a tea master unzen recorded the name senkei in his event and tea journal called hekizan nichiroku in an entry dated february of the third year of the kansh era unzen taigyoku wrote at the invitation of shunko senkei made a floral arrangement in a golden vase and denizens of kyoto with refined tastes vied to see his work this written record marks the starting point for years of recorded ikebana history additional historical documentation of senkeis work is virtually nonexistent with one october entry in the nekizan nichiroku journal describing how senkei is moved by the extraordinary beauty of chrysanthemums legends of the rokkakudo according to legend when prince shtoku was a child on awaji island he found a small chinese chest which had floated ashore opening the lid the prince found a gold image about cm long of the nyoirin kannon which he decided to keep as a sacred buddhist image or amulet he prayed to the kannon to bring him success in his life ahead promising kannon that he would if he was successful in prince shotoku decided to build the great temple of shitennoji in osaka and in order to find building materials the prince journeyed out from osaka it was a very hot day and the prince stopped by a pond to cool down he took off his clothes and also the precious amulet he had received in order to bathe in the pond he placed his clothes and with them the nyoirin kannon on a tree near to the pond after he had a swim he went to put on his clothes and put the nyoirin kannon back in his pocket but for some reason suddenly the kannon seemed to be too heavy to pick up and the prince was unable to continue so the prince decided to spend the night there beside the pond and await the morning during the night he dreamed that nyoirin kannon appeared to him saying with this amulet i have given you i have protected many generations but now i wish to remain in this place you this temple many people will come here and be healed so prince shotoku built the temple and enshrined nyoirin kannon within it in when he was years old shinran shonin decided to spend days in seclusion or privacy at rokkakudo temple on the th day kannon appeared to shinran in a dream and told him to forgo his vow of celibacy and marry she told him that she would appear to him in the form of a woman and they would become lovers and enter into amidas paradise she then told him that he should seek out honen his teacher and found a new order of buddhism that encouraged clerical marriage and family life there is a small hexagonal hall at rokkakudo with two statues of shinran one seated in a dream trance and one standing with walking staff and beads about ikenobo ikebana development of rikka not satisfied with merely appreciating flowers in a vase people in the early th century the middle muromachi period the process of arranging flowers in other words they wished to arrange flowers tateru to arrange stems in an upright or standing manner rather than simply placing them in a vase an earlier attitude of passive appreciation developed into a more deeply considered approach this approach forms the basis of what we call ikebana from the late kamakura period to the muromachi period late th th century large contests of flower arranging were held at the imperial court on the day of tanabata the festival of the star vega the seventh day of the seventh lunar month these contests were called tanabatae aristocrats and monks vied with each other in demonstrating their skills offering flowers in honor of the festival according to a thcentury manuscript the two finest arrangers of the time were the ikenobo master senkei and ryuami a tea master the description in hekizan nichiroku a diary of the monk daikyoku th century of many people vying to see arrangements by ikenobo senkei is the name of the buildings associated with the shiunzan chohoji or rokkakudo temple in kyoto as well as the name of the family which has served in succeeding generations as head priests of the temple the rokkakudo has been popular from ancient times as a place for the worship of kannon the goddess of mercy the townspeople of kyoto used this temple as a place for gatherings at which times flower arrangements were placed in the temple it was toward the end of the muromachi period that the earlier simple way of setting flowers in a vase developed into tatehana tateru standing hana flowers a more complex style of ikebana it was also during this period that the oldest extant manuscript of ikebana kao irai no kadensho and the famous manuscript about ikebana by ikenobo senno senno kuden were written senno the founder of ikenobo kado originated ikebana that was filled with meaning and which was quite different from previous arrangements that had shown only th century brought a renaissance in ikebana as well as a general renaissance in japanese culture at this time two ikenobo masters named senko completed the rikka style also meaning standing flowers but with more complexity than tatehana and ikenobo reached a high point of its early history paintings depicting the rikka of senko ii a famous master of ikenobo are preserved at the manshuin temple kyoto the yomeibunko library of the ninnaji temple kyoto the tokyo national museum and the library of the ikenobo headquarters kyoto the arranging of rikka as a style with seven main parts shin shinkakushi soe soeuke mikoshi nagashi and maeoki was established at this time after senko ii died rikka gradually became more complex and mannered the birth of the shoka style of ikebana brought new interest into the world of ikebana development of shoka early nageire nageire a more informal style of arrangement had been practiced even during the earlier period when decoration for the zashiki while rikka the most formal style was used for rites and ceremonies the townspeople favored nageire which presented the natural beauty of flowers without complicated rules in toichiya taemon a merchant wrote the nageire kadensho how to arrange flowers in nageire style and in kodai shoka zukan collected paintings of historic shoka works by ikenobo senyo was published nageire influenced the development of early work in the shoka style shoka at this time was very simple only two main branches or flowers one of which was called in negative and the other yo positive were used in arranging the work these would later develop into three main parts called shin soe and tai the shoka style developed over a long period during with many schools of ikebana other than ikenobo appeared shoka was firmly established in ikenobo senjo s work soka hyakki one hundred examples of ikebana methods of rikka were described

delights in quoting movies in everyday life often mimicking the original actor when quoting them sean connery s james bond and tommy lee jones come up frequently tony also finds parallels between the cinema and his everyday life this occasionally proves to be more useful than aggravating as when his application of a solution from the movie speed ends in the successful resolution of a case in a nod

warmed considerably in comparison to the end of the third season with tony occasionally being caught referring to her by her first name with even gibbs joking about how close they were the main reason for the warming of their relationship is the fact that tony was involved in an ongoing operation run by shepard which is of personal importance to her as they are keeping secrets they develop a strong level of trust upon gibbs absence tony takes on his job and its associated responsibilities this means his interactions with the director become more frequent and as a consequence his relationship

episode probie tony prides himself on knowing many of the military terms acronyms and slang gibbs regularly uses which sometimes confuse civilians phrases such as these uttered by tony include on your six or got your six this refers to the six oclock position being at the back as oclock is at the front as in ground or flying formations explained in cbs s ncis glossary of terms throughout the first seasons of the series tony made it a point to explain several agency acronyms to todd and occasionally to mcgee thus having them become an audience surrogate similarly he also explains gibbs unorthodox interrogation techniques to new agents and observers in the observation room and can often accurately predict his next moves in the episode kill ari part gibbs starts being nice for about half the episode the change in his demeanor not gibbs if he s nice tony then makes up his mind to tick gibbs off so that he will return to his old behavior and he finally succeeds with an inappropriate remark toward director shepard that leads gibbs to give him his usual slap to the back of the head pleased with himself tony then welcomes gibbs back after gibbs leaves at the end of season he personally appoints tony has team leader as leader he tries to emulate gibbs leadership style but he did make some changes these included calling campfire discussions an impromptu sharing of

experienced member of the ncis team and ranks only as a junior field agent having only worked at ncis for five or six years for example when mcgee joined the team as a probationary special agent tony began calling him probie including variations such as probiewan kenobi he largely takes advantage of mcgee s naivet and unfamiliarity with the team s customs such as tricking him into drinking gibbs coffee as shown in the season episode forced entry and assigning him unwanted and dirty tasks such as tracking down a gun in a mud pool and digging for evidence like mike franks did with gibbs when

to get almost any computerrelated document and mccheat a reference to mcgee supposedly cheating at scrabble dinozzo at least once has also asked mcgee what are you mcdoing mcgee often he dinozzo and caitlin todd and later ziva david are shown teaming up to tease mcgee although it remains friendly contrary to appearances tony values his relationship with mcgee as seen in the episode probie tony goes out of his way to support mcgee and makes an effort to cheer him up particularly shown when mcgee accidentally shoots an undercover police officer tony is the first one to try point after mcgee has expressed his chagrin at being called probie gibbs tells him that his first senior agent still calls him probie and suggests that it is not a sign of distaste or disrespect during gibbs absence however mcgee becomes the senior field agent as tony is now team leader at this time tony shows much more respect for mcgee and confidence in his abilities he also covers for mcgee several times when the entire team was late to a crime scene thus incurring gibbs wrath because of him in the beginning of the seventh season tony has more frequently called mcgee by his first name tim instead of these nicknames an example of this is when mcgee is explaining something to gibbs and tony says it s a burn phone tim just say burn phone it has been shown a few other times as well the relationship between the two agents is on a much more equal footing as the show moves into the seventh season mcgee is very rarely more by tony especially since ziva has become a probationary field agent after ziva s departure from the team in the eleventh season tony has become a lot closer to mcgee and they have started to confide in one another much more than they used too for instance mcgee is the one tony tells that he has been attending a support group to get over the events of ziva s departure mcgee also goes to tony for advice when he is considering asking his girlfriend move in with him reception dinozzo was included in tv guide s list of tv s sexiest crime fighters in november dinozzo won tvline s ultimate male lawenforcement crushes bracket tournament and ziva david won the ultimate female lawenforcement crushes bracket tournament a month later his flirtation with ziva received significant media coverage over the years with the characters being referred to as a power couple by entertainment weekly in tv guide dubbed their interactions tv listed in entertainment weekly best will theywo nt they tv couples ewcom also included them in its compile of tv pairs who have us hooked as they dance around their attraction during the first season of ncis in ross warneke of the age described the character as fearless but a bit wet behind the ears a year later bill keveny from usa today commented that dinozzo was competent but immature at the beginning of the third season noel holston from sun sentinel described him as a selfstyled ladies man handsome yet hapless in one critic from slate magazine called him a womanizing doofus given to spouting movie trivia but added that all of the characters on the mcrt team tony gibbs ziva and mcgee are men and women of honor heroes who have all made significant sacrifices for their country in sandra gonzalez from a deep appreciation for everything about tony dinozzo i love his goofball ways his pop culture references and his endless supply of ways to get under mcgees skin but like any perpetually lovable character on a tv drama he also has a host of dark secrets and when said secrets have a chance to come to the surface as part of a meaty and revealing storyline its a treat for us all he was referred to as a charming goofballspecial agent by aol tv s michael maloney in catherine lawson from huffpost reported in august that michael weatherly was voted as number seven in the list of the top most popular primetime tv stars pauley perrette abby sciuto and cote de pablo ziva david placed first and second respectively

 the locomotives of india presently consist of electric and diesel locomotives steam locomotives are no longer used in india except in heritage trains locomotives are also called locos or engines the bengal sappers of the indian army were the first to run a steam locomotive in india the steam locomotive named thomason ran with two wagons for carrying earth from roorkee to piran kaliyar in two years before the first passenger train ran from bombay to thane in classification of locomotives in india locomotives are classified according to their track gauge motive power the work they are suited for and their power or model number the class name includes this information about the locomotive it comprises or letters the first letter denotes the track gauge the second letter denotes their motive power diesel or electric and the third letter denotes the kind of traffic for which they are suited goods passenger mixed or shunting number however from a new classification scheme has been adopted under this system for newer diesel locomotives the fourth letter will denote their horsepower range electric locomotives do nt come under this scheme and even all diesel locos are not covered for them this letter denotes their model number as usual a locomotive may sometimes have a fifth letter in its name which generally denotes a technical variant or subclass or subtype this fifth letter indicates some smaller variation in the basic model or series perhaps different motors or a different manufacturer with the new scheme for classifying diesel locomotives as mentioned above the fifth item is a letter that further refines the horsepower indication in hp increments a for hp b for hp c for hp etc so in this scheme a wdpa refers to a hp loco while a wdmf would be a hp

 the barmakids barmakyn albarmikah from the sanskrit pramukha leader chief administrator registrar also wrongly called barmecides philologically the third syllable contains an unvoiced velar not a sibilant were an influential family from balkh in bactria where they were originally buddhists and subsequently came to great political power under the abbasid caliphs of baghdad khalid the son of barmak became the prime minister or wazir of al saffah the first caliph of the abbasid dynasty his son yahya aided harun alrashid in capturing the throne and rose to power as the most powerful man in the empire the barmakids were remarkable for their majesty splendor and hospitality they are mentioned in some stories of the arabian nights origins the family is traceable back to the hereditary buddhist administrators sanskrit pramukha arabized to barmak of the buddhist monastery of nava vihra sometimes considered the barmakids to have been zoroastrian priests before converting to islam an erroneous view based on the fact that balkh was known as an important centre of zoroastrianism or from a simple failure of early islamic sources to distinguish zoroastrians from buddhists in fact the barmakids descended from the chiefs or administrators of the buddhist monastery called navavihra skt or new monastery that was described by the chinese buddhist diarist xuanzang in the seventh century which may have led to the persian and arabic error of thinking that the term nowbahr was the name of a zoroastrian fire temple headed by the barmakids as reported in islamic sources the pramukhas converted during the arab invasion of the sasanian empire the barmakids were highly educated respected and influential throughout arabia persia central asia and the levant in baghdad the barmakid court became a centre of patronage for the ulema poets scholars alike khalid ibn barmak occupied distinguished positions under first two abbasid caliphs alsaffah and almansur he had risen to abul jahm khalid was on such intimate terms with alsaffah that his daughter was nursed by the wife of the caliph likewise caliph s daughter was nursed by khalid s wife his son yahya ibn barmak at one time governor of arminiya was entrusted by caliph almahdi with the education of his son harun the future caliph alrashid under abbasid regime khalid rose to the headship of the department of finance diwan alkharaj this department was concerned with taxation and land tenure genuine budgets began to be drawn up for the first time and offices sprang up for various departments the extensive staff of officials engaged in correspondence with the provinces and prepared estimates and accounts an influential stratum of officialdom the iranoislamic class of secretaries kuttab in arabic dabiran in persian was formed which considered itself as the main support of the state their knowledge of the complex system of the kharaj only of the quality of the land but of the produce of the crops sown made the officials of the diwan alkharaj the guardians of knowledge which was inaccessible to the uninitiated and was passed by inheritance in khalid ibn barmak received the governorship of tabaristan where he crushed a dangerous uprising during his governorship of upper mesopotamia khalid through a mix of firmness and justice brought the province quickly into order and effectively curbed the unruly kurds influence under the early abbasids the barmakid family was an early supporter of the abbasid revolt against the umayyads and of assaffah this gave khalid bin barmak considerable influence and his son yahya ibn khalid many barmakids were patrons of the sciences which greatly helped the propagation of indian science and scholarship into the islamic world of baghdad and beyond they patronized scholars such as gebir and jabril ibn bukhtishu disgrace and fall in the family lost favor in the eyes of harun alrashd and many of harun alrashd found his chief pleasure in the society of his sister abbasa and jafar bin yahya and in order that these two might be with him continuously without breach of the restrictions on women he persuaded them to contract a purely formal marriage the condition however was that the two can meet only in his presence so that they may not produce an heir this not being observed and harun learning that abbasa had borne a son he caused jafar suddenly to be arrested and beheaded and the rest of the family except muammad yahya s brother to be imprisoned and deprived of their property however altabari and ibn khaldn mentioned other reasons ensuring that their decline was gradual and not sudden their hypotheses are the barmakids extravagance in spending to the extent that they overshadowed hrun alrashid it has been said that jafar ibn yahya built a mansion that cost twenty million dirhams and that his father yahya ibn khalid had gold tiles on the wall of his and whenever he passed an impressive house or mansion they told him it belonged to the barmakids alfadl ibn alrabi an abbasid loyal civil servant very close to hrun and a rival of the barmakids convinced hrn to assign spies to watch them and that is how he found out about yahya ibn abdullah altalibi s incident the barmakid army although technically this army was under the abbasids in reality the soldiers gave allegiance to alfadl ibn yahya albarmaki jafar s brother it numbered soldiers during their last days alfadl ordered thousand of them to come to baghdad and claimed to create a legion under the name of the karnabiya legion this made harun very wary of their intentions the governor of khurasan at the time ali ibn isa ibn mahan sent a letter to harun reporting about the unrest in his province and blaming musa ibn yahya another brother of jafar for it the yahya ibn abdullah altalibi incident in ah yahya ibn abdullah went in place of hrn many people followed him and he became strong enough to cause unrest for the abbasids hrn managed to capture him and ordered that he be confined to house arrest at alfadl s house in baghdad however alfadl rather than making sure he would not escape gave him money and a ride and let him leave baghdad the abbasids considered that to be high treason legacy a number of canals mosques and other public works owe their existence to the initiative and munificence of the barmakids al fadl son of yahya bin barmak is credited with being the first to introduce the use of lamps in the mosques during the holy month of ramadan they are also credited with the establishment of the first paper mill in baghdad jafar another son of yahya acquired great fame for eloquence literary activity and penmanship hitti argues that chiefly because of him arab historians regard the barmakids as the founders of the class designated as people of the pen long neck which barmakids possessed is said to have been responsible for the introduction of the custom of wearing high collars the first extant arabic report on india was prepared under the directions of yahya ibn barmak d by his envoy barmaks were responsible for inviting several scholars and physicians from india to the court of abbasids when sindh was attacked by the arabs during the battle of rajasthan the city of brahmanabadmansura was built by a barmak later he was commissioned with building the capital of baghdad on july the caliph al mansur concluded the construction of the city it is said that the baghdadi capital had numerous indian architectural influences now largely ignored by historians see also hindu and buddhist contribution to science in medieval islam notes

strong supporter of colonial president laura roslin who often butts heads with william adama roslin unfamiliar with the military appoints lee adama to be her personal advisor early in their relationship president laura roslin often referred to lee adama as captain apollo lee once corrected her stating apollo was his call sign but president roslin replied captain apollo has a nice ring to it upon joining galactica s crew apollo was a bit of an outsider but after proving man s son he earned the respect of his fellow pilots and soon became one of the crew when kara thrace goes missing after being shot down over an unnamed red moon lee is at the forefront of the search for the missing pilot lee and his father are ultimately compelled to abandon the search for starbuck after president roslin alerts them to how they are placing personal feelings above the good of the fleet fortunately starbuck is able to return to galactica using a cylon raider she shot down however the incident cements the fatherson bond between william adama and his surviving son lee questions how long his father would search for him were he missing to which the elder adama responds if it were you we d never leave lee is part of the strike team sent by thencommander adama to colonial one to terminate laura roslin s presidency after she encourages kara thrace to abscond with a captured cylon raider on board colonial one declaring that it is nt worth it to sacrifice democracy he puts his gun to colonel saul tigh s head tigh calmly tells lee this is mutiny you know that tigh takes control of the situation after roslin surrenders and is able to take both roslin and lee into custody lee is present in the galactica nowiki nowiki s cic shortly thereafter when the cylon infiltrator known as lieutenant junior grade sharon boomer valerii shoots commander adama twice in the chest despite his disagreement with his father over deposing roslin he tries to comfort his father after being shot on tigh s orders lee is physically dragged from his father s side and thrown in the brig needing lee s services as cag tigh later releases lee on parole lee will perform his duties as before but make no attempt to free roslin or sow insurrection among the crew and will return to the brig when not on duty nonetheless lee breaks his parole after tigh s leadership he helps roslin to lead a breakaway fleet to kobol after commander adama and president roslin make a personal effort to heal the divisions in the fleet lee returns to duty on galactica lee is one of the five people who see firsthand the map to earth in the tomb of athena on kobol after the battlestar pegasus joins the fleet lee is temporarily transferred to the pegasus given duties flying raptors rather than vipers and even demoted to lieutenant all of these misfortunes are reversed after the successful attack on the cylon resurrection ship the death of rear admiral helena cain and his father s promotion to flag rank however lee battles with depression at this time confessing to kara thrace he did nt want to make it back alive while on leave on the cloud luxury liner lee is accidentally shot by kara thrace during a hostage rescue he takes almost a month to recover from major and consummates his longsimmering relationship with petty officer second class anastasia dualla he is assigned to pegasus to assist the new commanding officer commander barry garner after he successfully commands the ship during a cylon surprise attack in which garner is killed lee is quickly promoted from major to commander and given command of pegasus new caprica and the second exodus shortly before the roslinvs baltar presidential election the fleet discovers a somewhat habitable planet inside of a nebula presumably safe from cylon discovery which is named new caprica after gaius baltar wins the presidential election he orders the establishment of permanent settlements on the planet the galactica and pegasus begin a monotonous orbital defense patrol months later lee and kara thrace both get drunk at a party celebrating the ceremonial first shovelful of earth being dug on new caprica they make love declare their love for one another and fall asleep together however and returns to the settlement he finds kara has married samuel anders this betrayal causes a lot of bad feeling between adama and thrace he takes to overeating and puts on a lot of weight he also marries his new first officer anastasia dualla now a lieutenant junior grade eight months later the cylons find new caprica and take control over the colonists with only a skeleton crew manning his ship lee is forced to flee with the rest of the fleet hoping to return again to fight off the cylons and save the civilian population four months later still as the galactica and pegasus lay plans to rescue the civilians trapped on new caprica the psychological impact of the past year is also obvious after previously being in great physical shape lee has become overweight sentimental and soft to the point where it interferes with his ability to command the pegasus when contact with the resistance movement on new caprica is the pegasus and continue the search for earth while the galactica attempts to liberate the planet when galactica is near destruction lee and pegasus come to the rescue giving his father s ship time to jump out under heavy fire from four cylon basestars the pegasus is heavily damaged having left its vipers to defend the rest of the fleet lee orders the crew to abandon ship saying thank you to his ship just as he departs the pegasus rams a cylon basestar instantly destroying both vessels and a large piece of wreckage damages or destroys a second basestar lee s first role after the rescue of the civilian population appears to be connected to conducting some kind of headcount or census of the rescued civilians it is in this capacity he notices certain confirmed survivors have gone missing having been executed by the circle for collaborating with the cylons he then nowiki nowiki s cag with the rank of major after much hard physical training he loses the excess weight he gained over the previous year and asks captain karl helo agathon to remind him to never let himself go like that again lee advocates using captured cylons infected with a strain of lymphocytic encephalitis as biological weapons to exterminate the cylon race his plan is approved by president roslin but is thwarted by captain karl helo agathon the galactica nowiki nowiki s executive officer at the time the renewed strength of his bond with his father is shown when his father chooses to confess to lee about his fears he may have inadvertently provoked the cylon onslaught on the colonies resignation from colonial forces and legal aspirations however that fatherson relationship sours following the death of kara thrace whom lee loved and whom adama considered as close as a daughter while both grieve lee is visibly shaken by the death while adama does his best to move past it her death he pulls him from flight duty assigning lee the task of heading up the security detail for the defense attorney of gaius baltar whose trial adama considers to be little more than a public relations exercise lee suspects his father is being overprotective not wishing to lose him as he did kara after two assassination attempts on baltar s latest lawyer romo lampkin the culprit is discovered adama then reinstates lee as cag not wanting to expose him to the dangers of more potential assassination attempts lee however has become very interested in colonial law at this point after reading some of his grandfather s law books and believes he could assist lampkin prepare the case adama resists but lee refuses to resume his duties as cag and joins the legal team as the trial begins admiral adama is enraged to find that saul tigh now a witness is forced to admit he killed his own wife on new caprica he blames lee believing his lee to stop helping baltar but lee refuses ultimately resigning his commission after adama openly states that lee has no integrity and that he is a coward for supposedly letting romo question saul putting the uniform behind him lee begins to see the trial more as an exercise of justice rather than as a trial of a specific man and personally takes up the crossexamination of president laura roslin confronting her with her renewed use of the hallucinogenic compound chamalaextract which she claims is a treatment for her relapse of cancer this move while justified in lee s mind toward preserving justice in the fleet further strains his relationship with both his father and roslin and motivates his wife to finally leave him after laura s deposition lee is the last witness called following felix gaeta s perjury in stating president baltar willingly signed a mass execution warrant lee proclaims in court nearly all those in positions of power throughout the fleet including himself are guilty of murder and treason to some degree civilization is scapegoating the expresident in an effort to expunge its guilt and shame lee ultimately realizes he was being manipulated by lampkin who boldly predicted to baltar he has no greater ally than a son trying to flee his father s shadow after baltar s acquittal the fleet is once again discovered by the cylons despite having resigned his commission lee puts on a flight suit and pilots viper to help defend the fleet from the cylons while in flight he spots something on his wing which he discovers to be a viper flown by kara thrace she proceeds to tell him it s okay do nt freak out it s really me i ve been to earth i know where it is and i m gon na take us there while reviewing his gun camera footage lee tells his father that since baltar s trial he feels he can do more outside the military even as his father offers to return his wings adama is visibly upset but s mustering out party he drinks several toasts to the galactica his friends rear admiral adama the fleet and to absent friends as he leaves the galactica the pilots and command staff salute him while he boards the raptor taking him off the ship dualla gives him his viper wings in a frame and as he hugs her he says well looks like you get the house lee begins his political career as the caprica delegate to the quorum of twelve following the disappearance of president roslin aboard the defecting cylon basestar lee searches for an alternative presidential candidate to the stilldivisive zarek after a tense confrontation with a despairing romo lampkin during which he is informed of his nomination with a gun to the head lee accepts his candidacy aboard colonial one lee adama is inaugurated as the acting president of the twelve colonies of kobol earth after his father s return to galactica president adama is faced she demands the four cylons within the colonial fleet reveal themselves and find their way to the rebel baseship until then a colonial hostage on the baseship would be killed every minutes his father s nervous breakdown in the light of tigh s confession gave lee the upper hand within short order he had three of the final five standing in an airlock danna was backed hopelessly into a corner and prepared to nuke the civilian fleet the confrontation seemed hopeless until starbuck showed up with the coordinates to earth lee felt withholding the information would only serve to prolong a pointless war so shared the discovery with danna he saw to it cylon and human would travel to earth and make a new home together the fleet s arrival at earth was a bittersweet experience for adama joy elation and relief quickly turned to dismay and horror upon witnessing a devastated cityscape once the thirteenth colony after returning to galactica lee and his exwife anastasia dualla share a reconciliation and go on a date to hold onto the reconciliation as her last memory in the wake of tom zarek s failed coup lee is appointed vice president of the colonies by president laura roslin and it is made clear while she will retain the title of president lee will handle the heavy lifting when admiral adama decides to lead a possibly oneway rescue mission for hera and asks for volunteers lee is the first to step forward he leads one of the assault teams straight into the colony to retrieve hera and manages to return her safely to the galactica when the fleet reaches the second earth lee is the one to propose the survivors abandon their ships and technology and take the chance to break the cycle of violence and start life with a clean slate the survivors agree to the plan and willingly allow the fleet to be destroyed while they settle on earth with nothing but the clothes on their back and the supplies they possess with a new chance at life lee expresses interest in adama lee s father and current commander of the fleet and galactica although strained at the beginning his relationship with his son has evolved into a mutual love and respect lee then quit his role as cag to defend baltar fulltime and was on very bad terms with bill adama following the trial the two reconciled lee being offered the opportunity to return to the service kara thrace although the extent of his relationship with kara thrace callsign starbuck before joining galactica has never fully been explained they share one of the strongest bonds on the show it is revealed in the series finale lee met kara while she was dating zak adama the three had a dinner party in kara s apartment and a drunken kara dared lee to make love to her while zak was passed out on the sofa the two stopped themselves when zak briefly woke but it is clear the attraction between lee and kara existed from the beginning of the two often have a volatile relationship both professionally and personally they almost consummated their relationship in scar and have often been known to be jealous of each other s lovers while not on good terms since finally sleeping together on new caprica their relationship seems to have improved since facing off in an emotional boxing match in unfinished business in the beginning of season lee and kara seem to be on the verge of a serious relationship until kara suddenly gets married this does not put a stop to the tension between the characters however lee wo nt cheat on his wife dee and kara does nt want to divorce her husband anders saying divorce is a sin in the eye of jupiter after kara returns from the dead at the beginning of season lee supports her claims she can lead the fleet to earth aside from a brief kiss during the mutiny aboard galactica lee and kara s relationship is not explored much during the final together in the series finale with kara mysteriously disappearing when lee briefly looks away from her laura roslin president of the colonies appointed lee as her military advisor in season over the course of the show lee has consistently sided with roslin over his father most notably when he refused to arrest her for defying his father s orders and later when he defected with her and nearly a third of the fleet to go to kobol since then however their relationship has deteriorated assigned to gaius baltar s security during his trial for the crimes committed on new caprica lee takes an active interest in baltar s defense to the point of questioning laura roslin himself when the president took the stand in an attempt to undermine her credibility lee forced the president to confess she had resumed taking chamalla the hallucinogenic alternative cancer therapy while lee s reasoning was the president had become addicted a disappointed and betrayed roslin was forced to reveal her cancer had in fact returned in takes up a position as quorum delegate for caprica which finds his idealism conflicting with roslin s more totalitarian and secretive approach to fleet politics however lee gains roslin s respect with his handling of the hostage situation created by danna as the acting president with her saying his duty to the fleet is not over and the human race will need people like lee adama to lead them in the coming days anastasia dualla former communications nco on galactica she was lee adama s executive officer aboard pegasus and after forming a relationship with lee she married him later dee left her husband after he took a job on baltar s defense team and relentlessly attacked laura roslin on the stand forcing her to reveal her chamalla use after the discovery of the planet originally called earth lee and dee briefly reestablished their relationship however this does not stop the depressed dee from committing suicide after earth is found to be unsuitable for colonization lee he will ultimately never understand her reasons for suicide although her decision was never explained onscreen a deleted scene from the episode unfinished business indicated dee was aware of lee s love and connection with kara thrace romo lampkin defense attorney specifically a public defender and protg of lee s grandfather joseph himself a public defender lampkin s approach in developing gaius baltar s

from node n sub sub to node n sub sub if and only if the city labeling n sub sub starts with the letter that ending the name of the city labeling node n sub sub in other words we draw an arrow from one city to another if the rules each alternate edge in the directed graph corresponds to each player for a two player game the first player unable to extend the path loses an illustration of the game containing some cities in michigan is shown in the figure below in a generalized geography gg game we replace the graph of city names with an arbitrary directed graph the following graph is an example of a generalized geography game playing the game we define p sub sub as the player moving first and p sub sub as the player moving second and name the nodes n sub sub to n sub n sub in the above figure p sub sub has a winning strategy as follows n sub sub points only to nodes n sub sub and n sub sub s first move must be one of these two choices p sub sub chooses n sub sub if p sub sub chooses n sub sub then p sub sub will choose n sub sub as that is the only option and p sub sub will lose next p sub sub chooses n sub sub because it is the only remaining choice p sub sub now chooses n sub sub and p sub sub subsequently chooses n sub sub or n sub sub regardless of p sub sub span span s choice p sub sub chooses sub sub has no remaining choices and loses the game problem statement the problem of determining which player has a winning strategy in a generalized geography game is pspacecomplete let gg g p sub sub has a winning strategy for the generalized geography game played on graph g starting at node b proof generalized geography is in pspace to show that gg pspace we present a polynomialspace recursive algorithm determining which player has a winning strategy given an instance of gg g start sub where g is a directed graph and n sub start sub is the designated start node the algorithm m proceeds as follows on m g start sub measure the outdegree of node n sub start sub if this degree is then return tt reject tt because there are list of all nodes reachable from n sub start sub by one edge n sub sub n sub sub n sub i sub remove n sub start sub and all edges connected to it from g to form g for each node n sub j sub in the list n sub sub n sub i sub call m g j sub if all of these calls return accept then no matter which decision p sub sub makes p sub sub has a strategy to win so return reject otherwise p sub sub has a choice that will deny any successful strategies for p sub sub so return accept the algorithm m clearly decides gg it is in pspace because the only nonobvious polynomial workspace consumed is in the recursion stack the space consumed by the recursion stack is polynomial because each level of recursion adds a single node to the stack and there are at most n levels where n is the number of nodes in g generalized geography is pspacehard to establish the pspacehardness of gg we can reduce the formulagame problem which is known to be pspacehard to gg in polynomial time p in brief an instance of the formulagame problem consists of a quantified boolean formula x sub sub x sub sub x where q is either or the game is played by two players p sub a sub and p sub e sub who alternate choosing values for successive x sub i sub p sub e sub wins the game if the formula ends up true and p sub a sub wins if ends up false in this proof we assume that the quantifier list starts and ends with the existential qualifier for simplicity note that any expression can be converted to this form by adding dummy variables that do not appear in by constructing a graph g like the one shown above we will show any instance of formulagame can be reduced to an instance of generalized geography where the optimal strategy for p sub sub is equivalent to that of strategy for p sub sub is equivalent to that of p sub a sub the left vertical chain of nodes is designed to mimic the procedure of choosing values for variables in formulagame each diamond structure corresponds to a quantified variable players take turns deciding paths at each branching node because we assumed the first quantifier would be existential p sub sub goes first selecting the left node if x sub sub is true and the right node if x sub sub is false each player must then take forced turns and then p sub sub chooses a value for x sub sub these alternating assignments continue down the left side after both players pass through all the diamonds it is again p sub sub s turn because we assumed that sub sub has no choice but to follow the path to the right side of the graph then it is p sub sub s turn to make a move when the play gets to the right side of the graph it is similar to the end of play in the formula game recall that in the formula game p sub e sub wins if is true while p sub a sub wins if is false the right side of the graph guarantees that p sub sub wins if and only if p sub e sub wins and that p sub sub wins if and only if p sub a sub wins first we show that p sub sub always wins when p sub a sub wins if p false if is false there exists an unsatisfying clause p sub sub will choose an unsatisfying clause to win then when it is p sub sub s turn he must choose a literal in that clause chosen by p sub sub since all the literals in the clause are false they do not connect to previously visited nodes in the left vertical chain this allows p sub sub to follow the connection to the corresponding node in a diamond of the left chain and select it however p sub sub is now unable to select any adjacent nodes and loses now we show that p sub sub always wins when p sub e sub wins if p sub e sub wins is true if is right side of the graph contains a true literal p sub sub can choose any clause then p sub sub chooses the literal that is true and because it is true its adjacent node in the left vertical node has already been selected so p sub sub has no moves to make and loses consequences given that gg is pspacecomplete no polynomial time algorithm exists for optimal play in gg unless p pspace however it may not be as easy to prove the complexity of other games because certain games such as chess contain a finite number of game positions making it hard or impossible to formulate a mapping to a pspacecomplete problem in spite of this the complexity of certain games can still be analyzed by generalization eg to an n amptimes n generalized go as a corollary of the proof of the completeness of gg

councilman from the th district from to a liberal he was defeated for reelection after seventeen years in office in the wake of arrest on a morals charge he was a democrat biography bennett was born in waverly iowa on february he had five siblings edward allen bennett of los angeles richard bennett of tacoma washington belle campbell of guelph ontario zellia campbell of los angeles and william m bennett bennett was married and had at least one son he was a kiwanian while a city councilman bennett then was apprehended in lincoln park on october by two police officers who took a statement from him at the highland park police station a complaint was later issued bennett pleaded guilty to disturbing the peace and a charge of lewd vagrancy was dismissed in the interests of justice he paid a fine of bennett who was then living in pasadena died july at the age of educational career bennett was working in gridley california before taking up his position as superintendent of schools in pomona in july replacing the retiring schools chief wp murphy near the end of his first school year he responded to a statement by university of california president benjamin ide wheeler who had declared vocational training to be an attempt of aristocracy to keep children of the laborer in the working class so they could nt better themselves bennett said that sort of talk is bosh if teaching boys how to do interior decorating plumbing lathe work and cabinetmaking and teaching girls how to make hats and dresses and custard pies is an aristocratic attempt to tie a millstone around the neck of genius then the boys and girls off the street and reduce the number of streetcorner loafers by teaching some useful trades in our schools i think it is our duty to do so bennett ordained an antislang week in april and ordered that anybody who used slang in pomona schools be penalized i d like to eliminate such phrases as hand somebody a lemon cut it out the onceover and a lot of similar expressions he said in he was appointed head of the local office of the federal board for vocational education an agency that retrained returning us servicement in october bennett and nicholas ricciardi director of the vocational office in san francisco were attacked by the james b gresham post no veterans of foreign wars for among other things repressive measures a statement charged bennett with being out of harmony with every man engaged in federal board work in this city bennett who held a doctorate of philosophy was hired of southern california effective with the fall semester political career bennett attempted a run for the state superintendent of public instruction in but lost in february still a college professor and living at hoover he took out a nomination petition for

vote of to in the support of epic he won in the primary to he lost in another bid for state superintendent of public instruction in bennett was known for supporting liberal measures in the city council and had the support of mayor fletcher bowron and activist clifford clinton he was concentrating on issues of slum clearance and supported the thirty dollars every thursday movement he was the only council member to vote against an april resolution urging the dies committee on unamerican activities to investigate communist influence in los angeles as soon as possible that month he won in the primary election votes to for willard e badham for solly f smith and for allan m rose in bennett faced s frederic smith the times choice and mary a van dame bennett won votes against for smith and for van dame by that time bennett had joined the antibowron bloc and when the city council was reorganized in july vote of to replacing robert l burns as council president he became acting mayor when bowron was out of town bennett was elected chairman of the los angeles county democratic central committee in september unseating claude l welch in late political reformer clifford e clinton had accused bennett with other councilmen of having misused city automobiles asking for a grand jury investigation the issue resurfaced in an election year when council member parley p christensen accused bennett of having used a city automobile for an unauthorized and illegal trip to vancouver british columbia in and on his return presenting the city with a bill for gasoline and oil bennett denied the charge in the election bennett was endorsed by the times which said that although inclined when first elected toward ultraliberal views years of practical experience have tempered bennett s convictions bennett won election in the primary votes to for vernon kilpatrick and when he urged that a woman be appointed to a vacancy on the water and power commission though he had no particular person in mind he was reelected at the primary in april by votes to for william l biber a welltodo usedcar lot owner taking his first fling at politics bennett was endorsed by the times the election was highlighted by a los angeles times attack on bennett s championing of a police union but despite that and an accusation that he had appeared as the supporter of radical movements or legislation the times endorsed him over his opponents bertrand r bratton a certified public accountant and charles downs a builder who had been a city council member in but was removed from office that year upon conviction of receiving a bribe from a developer bennett won in the april primary with votes to for downs and for bratton four precincts not reported two opposition in running in the shadow of a

elections papp is one of israel s new historians who since the release of pertinent british and israeli government documents in the early s have been rewriting the history of israel s creation in and the corresponding expulsion or flight of palestinians in the same year he has written that the expulsions were not decided on an ad hoc basis as other historians have argued but constituted the ethnic cleansing of palestine in accordance with plan dalet drawn up in by israel s future leaders he blames the creation of israel for the lack of peace in the middle east arguing that zionism is more dangerous than islamic militancy and has called for an international boycott of israeli academics papp supports the onestate solution which envisages a binational state for palestinians and israelis his work has been both supported and criticized by other historians before he left israel in he had been condemned in the knesset israel s parliament a minister his photograph had appeared in a newspaper at the centre of a target and he had received several death threats early life and education papp was born in haifa to germanjewish parents who fled nazi persecution in the s at the age of

academic director of the research institute for peace at givat haviva from to and chair of the emil touma institute for palestinian studies papp left the university of haifa in to take up his appointment in exeter after his endorsement of the boycott of israeli universities led the president of the he found it increasingly difficult to live in israel with his unwelcome views and convictions in a qatari newspaper interview explaining his decision he said i was boycotted in my university and there had been attempts to expel me from my job i am getting threatening calls from people every day i am not being viewed as a threat to the israeli society but my people think that i am either insane or my views are irrelevant many israelis also believe that i am working as a mercenary for the arabs katz controversy papp publicly supported an ma thesis by haifa university student teddy katz which was approved with highest honors that claimed israel had committed a massacre in the palestinian village of altantura during the war in based upon interviews with arab residents of the village and with an israeli veteran of the operation neither israeli nor palestinian historians had previously recorded any such incident which meyrav wurmser described as a madeup massacre but according to papp the story of tantura had it appears in the memoirs of a haifa notable muhammad nimr alkhatib who a few days after the battle recorded the testimony of a palestinian in december katz was sued for libel by veterans of the alexandroni brigade and after the testimony was heard he retracted his allegations about the massacre twelve hours later he retracted his retraction during the trial lawyers for the veterans pointed to what they said were discrepancies between the taped interviews katz conducted and descriptions in katz s thesis katz revised his thesis and following the trial the university appointed a committee to examine it the assessment of the revised thesis was highly mixed but overall it was failed papp continues to defend both katz and his thesis tom segev and others argued that there is merit or some truth in what katz described according to

hadash list after years of political activism papp supports economic and political boycotts of israel including an academic boycott he believes boycotts are justified because the israeli occupation is a dynamic process and it becomes worse with each passing day the aut can choose to stand by and do nothing or to be part of a historical movement similar to the antiapartheid campaign against the white supremacist regime in south africa by choosing the latter it can move us forward along the only remaining viable and nonviolent road to saving both palestinians and israelis from an impending catastrophe as a result university of haifa president aharon benzeev called on papp to resign saying it is fitting for someone who calls for a boycott of his university to apply the boycott himself he said that papp would not be ostracized since that would undermine academic freedom but he should leave voluntarily in the same year papp initiated the annual israeli right of return conferences which called who were expelled in critical assessment ilan papp s books have been praised by walid khalidi richard falk ella shohat nur masalha and john pilger among others those critical of his work

 notoc mirror blue is the seventh studio album by richard thompson released in the followup to s successful rumor and sigh was recorded in january with mitchell froom once again in the producers chair despite the increase in sales for his previous two albums mirror blue was held back the delay was partly due to changes at the top at capitol records which saw long time thompson fan and supporter hale milgrim being replaced by gary gersh when the album was eventually released it did not enjoy the record company support given to thompsons previous releases on capitol unusually for a new thompson release mirror blue was not given a warm welcome by the critics criticism of the album was centered on the controversial production rather than on thompsons songs and playing both of which are strong on this album thompson i thought it was a sort of deconstruction of the rock rhythm section it was the back of the records mitchell had done with suzanne vega and los lobos and the couple of records engineer tchad blake had done with tom waits all of which i thought were terrific records and they all had a kind of character to them a sound that was really trying to strip away some clichs like why have a snare drum why the backbeat and just looking at the song and seeing what does the song need whats going to work the critics did not agree and the album was slammed for its unusual percussion and its lack of reverb the charge was that the heavyhanded production drowned the songs mitchell froom was cast as the villain of the piece but thompson seems to have been at least in favour of the production and quite probably a willing participant despite the critical backlash and the poor sales some of the songs on the album have become concert staples and favourites of thompsons fans in particular beeswing a tale about a travelling girl and the prices that she and for the choices they make has come to be regarded as one of thompsons very best compositions songs such as mingus eyes easy there steady now and i ride in your slipstream have a jazzy feel and impressionistic lyrics showing that whatever else he was doing thompson was continuing to extend his artistic range on march the way that it shows was released as a downloadable song for the video game rock band despite the title of the list guitar world placed mirror blue at number in their superunknown iconic albums that defined list track listing all songs written by richard thompson for the sake of mary i cant wake up to save my life mgbgt the way that it shows easy there steady now king of bohemia shane and dixie mingus eyes i ride in your slipstream beeswing fast food personnel richard thompson guitar vocals mandolin mitchell froom keyboards jerry scheff bass guitar double bass pete thomas drums percussion christine collister backing vocals michael parker backing vocals john kirkpatrick accordion concertinas danny thompson double bass on easy there steady now alistair anderson concertina northumbrian pipes tom mcconville fiddle martin dunn flute philip pickett shawms references richard thompson the biography by patrick humphries schirmer books the great valerio by dave smith http toolong http toolong

however at first very eager to commit himself to the fortunes of william the silent prince of orange but having once chosen his side he threw himself heart and soul into the struggle for freedom from the spanish yoke in his lordships dousa adopted a moderate policy of religious tolerance both catholicism and protestantism were allowed as a member of the nobility he joined the verbond der edelen the confederation of noblemen against the religious policy of philip ii of spain in he became hoogheemraad inspector of the dikes and a member of the states of holland on behalf of the nobility when in the revolt formally began with the first independent meeting same year he participated in an embassy to queen elizabeth i of england to ask for support against spain fortunately for leiden he was

first accomplishment after his commission in was the posthumous publication of the work of hadrianus junius in however his political activities prevented him from finishing his own history within a few years in two epistulae apologeticae were published in which dousa apologized for the fact that the commissioned work had still not appeared however the states of holland had to wait for their history still longer when dousas eldest son died in sorrow kept dousa from finishing his work until in this year the metrical annales bataviae hollandiaeque annales was published in dousa was rewarded by the states of holland with a golden chain a medal and exemption from the obligation to appear in the supreme court in dousa intended to edit the works of the historians johannes de beka and willem

 the law of truly large numbers attributed to persi diaconis and frederick mosteller states that with a sample size large enough any outrageous thing is likely to happen because we never find it notable when likely events occur we highlight unlikely events and notice them more the law seeks to debunk one element of supposed supernatural phenomenology example for a simplified example of the law assume that a given event happens with a probability of in one trial then the probability that this unlikely event does not happen in a single trial is in a sample of independent trials the probability that the event does not happen in any of them is math math or the probability that the event happens at least once in trials is then ampminus or the probability that it happens at least once in trials is math math this means happening if chances are given or over for chances in other words a highly unlikely event given enough tries is even more likely to occur in criticism of pseudoscience the law comes up in criticism of pseudoscience and is sometimes called the jeane dixon effect see also postdiction it holds that the more predictions a psychic makes the better the odds that one of them will hit thus if one comes true the psychic expects us to forget the vast majority that did not happen humans can be susceptible to this fallacy a similar manifestation can be found in gambling where gamblers tend to remember their wins and forget their losses and thus hold an inflated view of their real winnings steven novella describes this as the lottery fallacy it is also the lottery fallacy if we hold a worldwide lottery and only one human in the billion wins the odds of that person winning is very small but someone had to win not have won by chance alone because the odds were against it

 the crossness pumping station is a former sewage pumping station designed by the metropolitan board of works s chief engineer sir joseph bazalgette and architect charles henry driver at the eastern end of the southern outfall sewer in the london borough of bexley constructed between and as part of bazalgette s redevelopment of the london sewerage system it features spectacular ornamental cast ironwork that nikolaus pevsner described as a masterpiece of engineering ampndash a victorian cathedral of ironwork it is adjacent to erith marshes a grazing marsh the northern part of which is designated as crossness nature reserve this provides a valuable habitat for creatures ranging from moths to small amphibians and water voles opening the southern outfall works as the complex was originally called was officially opened on april by edward prince of wales attended by prince alfred the duke of cambridge prince edward of saxeweimar the archbishop of canterbury the archbishop of york and the lord mayor of london and many bazalgette the royal party toured the works and reservoirs and the prince then turned the wheel which started the engines and as the illustrated london news observed a sensible vibration was felt throughout the building showing that the enormous beams liftingrods and flywheels were in operation operation at crossness the incoming liquid was raised some to feet by the application of four large steam driven pumps the engines were of enormous size and power they were built by james watt amp co to joseph bazalgette s designs and specification and were named victoria prince consort albert edward and alexandra at revolutions per minute tons of sewage per stroke per engine were pumped up into a eimpgal m reservoir and was released into the thames during the ebbing tide the steam required to power these engines was raised by cornish boilers with single straightthrough flues situated in the boiler house to the south of the engine house and which consumed tons of welsh coal annually river seawards and in a royal commission recommended that the solid matter in the sewage should be separated out and that only the liquid portion remaining should be allowed as a temporary measure to pass into the river in sedimentation tanks were added to the works and the sludge was carried by steam boats and dumped further out into the estuary at sea by additional pumping capacity was needed and four extra pumps operated by tripleexpansion steam engines were installed in an extension designed to fit in with bazalgette s main engine house to the north of the older building later in a further increase in london s population necessitated an increase in the efficiency of the original watt engines and considerable alteration to their design was carried out by goodfellow and co of hyde manchester for london county council they were converted from simple to compound engines with the original single cylinders were augmented by high and intermediate pressure cylinders the additional steam required efficient lancashire boilers with double flues and in the improved engines were fully working in the triple expansion steam engines were replaced by diesel engines which are still to be seen in the triple expansion engine house and by the wattgoodfellow engines had been decommissioned prince consort having been temporarily put back in steam in to assist with draining the flooding of the eastern royal arsenal and abbey wood and were left with the rest of the ironwork to rust and to vandals restoration the pumping station became a grade i listed building in and will remain on the heritage at risk register until the restoration is completed the crossness engines trust a registered charity was formed in to oversee the restoration project which is due to be completed in when the pumping station was decommissioned in the s it was not considered economic to dismantle the engines as the cost of doing so far exceeded any scrap value the more valuable metal items made pipework and even the handrails from the stairs were removed the remaining building and engines were left to suffer considerable vandalism and decay as prince consort was to be the last steam engine to run in it is this engine on which the restoration activity has been concentrated after some fifteen years of effort the engine is now working again and is run on the open days organised by the trust when the buildings were abandoned the pumps and culverts and all the below ground level areas below the beam engine house were filled with sand to reduce the risks from methane this has meant that some tons of this sand has had to be excavated from around and underneath the pumps before there was any hope of moving the beam and flywheel further there was a considerable ingress of rain water which has resulted in serious rusting of the engine parts the station contains the four original pumping engines which are thought to be the largest remaining rotative beam engines in the world with are original they are not in their original configuration as all four engines were converted from single cylinder to the current triple expansion operation in and prince consort was returned to steam in and now runs on trust open days the other engines are not in working order although work has begun on the restoration of victoria the original boilers did not survive and prince consort is now steamed by a small off the shelf boiler this boiler has nowhere near the steam capacity of the originals but this is not a problem as the engine no longer operates under load museum having received funding from the heritage lottery fund and other benefactors work is currently progressing at the site to build an access road protect the buildings and to develop a museum focusing on the great stink of and the role of crossness in improving london s sewerage system in popular culture the pumping station has been used as a filming location for the film

 longhaired hare is a warner brothers looney tunes theatrical cartoon short released in directed by chuck jones and written by michael maltese in addition to including the homophones hair and hare the title is also a pun on longhairs a characterization of classical music lovers nicolai shutorov provides the singing voice of giovanni jones plot bugs is happily minding his own business playing a banjo and singing a rainy night in rio nearby a burly blondhaired opera singer named giovanni jones rehearses largo al factotum from the barber of seville overhearing bugs he absentmindedly finds himself singing along in operatic style what do they do in mississippi when skies are drippy realizing that he accidentally switched genres giovanni loses his temper over his rehearsal being interrupted in this manner giovanni angrily confronts bugs and breaks the banjo strings and the banjo itself in half crushing the neck and then slamming the body over bugs head musichater he hears bugs singing my gal is a highborn lady and playing a harp he tries to ignore bugs but again ends up singing and dancing along one and two and three and four she dances all day long giovanni angrily confronts bugs once again he grabs bugs by the throat puts him in the harp and crushes his neck inside the harp like a vise also a rabbithater bugs counters as giovanni tries to sing again later the sound of a sousaphone seems to come out of his mouth the sound is coming from bugs playing when yuba plays the rhumba on the tuba though the rabbit promptly ducks into his hole giovanni reaches down into the sousaphone pulls him out ties him by his ears to a tree branch and yanks him down so that he bounces up and down beneath the branch bonking his head repeatedly as giovanni walks away an enraged bugs decides its time for payback and says his famous line means war bugs exacts his revenge against giovanni though a series of public humiliations during his concert seemingly at the hollywood bowl first bugs vibrates the roof of the concert hall to disrupt the singer s vocals then he hammers it so giovanni moves across the stage and falls and gets trapped into a tuba bugs pulls him out and takes him backstage next bugs sprays giovanni s throat with liquid alum which shrinks his head as well his voice next bugs dresses up as a teenage bobby soxer and asks giovanni for an autograph only the pen is a stick of dynamite after the offscreen explosion giovanni steps out to the stage with a singed face and evening wear torn to shreds he takes a couple of bows and then collapses during the concert s final act bugs poses as the highly respected leopold stokowski to take over the conducting duties even breaking the baton and using his hands instead bugs makes giovanni sing various notes including a very low stopped when he raises his hand bugs cracks his knuckles winds up his fists and conducts giovanni into holding a singular high g note until giovanni can hardly endure the strain his face turns different colors as he squirms and unravels his formal wear bugs leaves his glove hovering in the air and steps outside to order a pair of earmuffs which are delivered instantly after bugs places the order in the mailbox bugs returns to the stage to find giovanni has obeyed the glove and is still singing the high note but is now thrashing about on the floor banging his fists his face still turning various colors finally the top of the concert hall s shell shatters and tumbles down on top of giovanni for the encore a roughedup giovanni whose hair is now reddish appears out of the rubble to take a bow witnessing one last piece of the amphitheater balanced on a steel beam above giovanni bugs again cues the singer to close out his performance with the high note so satisfied with his victory bugs removes his wig and ends the performance by playing the vaudevilleera fournote tune good evening friends on a banjo music the film s musical score includes original music by carl stalling but a significant proportion of the score is preexisting music including several operatic pieces the soundtrack includes gioachino rossini s largo al factotum from the barber of seville arthur schwartz s a rainy night in rio barney fagan s my gal is a highborn lady herman hupfeld s song when yuba plays the rumba on the tuba played by bugs on a tuba gaetano donizetti s aria chi mi frena in tal momento from donizetti s lucia di lammermoor richard wagner s prelude nd theme from act iii of lohengrin franz von supp s overture from die schne galathee and the melody to it s magic this last piece is also used in the cartoon transylvania racially stereotyped subject and lyrics the author of the rewritten lyrics used in the cartoon might be carl stalling or michael maltese the donizetti piece actually a sextet seems to have been a favorite of warner music arranger carl stalling and is also used in book revue and back alley oproar giovanni jones singing voice remained uncredited and unknown for many years it was since revealed to have been provided by baritone nicolai g shutorev that is noted in the commentary voiceover provided on the dvd also noted on the dvd commentary is bugs bunny s conducting performance as leopold as a sendup of conductor leopold stokowski s energetic style including his shunning the baton bugs makes a point of snapping the baton in half and discarding it as bugs enters the concert hall wearing a stokowskilike hairpiece the orchestra members begin whispering among themselves leopold leopold the dvd commentator also notes that stokowski conducted many performances at the hollywood bowl though stokowski was at the time one of the best known conductors in the world the most famous film in which he appeared fantasia was an embarrassment to warner brothers rival walt disney productions that did not earn back its cost until analysis according to daniel goldmark the first two minutes of the cartoon establish a struggle between classical music and popular music giovanni acts as if protecting the world of good music from the ignorant masses which bugs represents the folk melodies which bugs sings are features as infectious and treated as disease by giovanni acting as a representative of the musical establishment each time that giovanni finds himself singing to one of bugs songs his first reaction is shock followed by fury that he is wasting his voice on less refined music goldmark finds similarities with the band concert where donald duck insists on playing turkey in the straw and infuriates mickey his initial choice of musical organ the banjo secondly he performs in a backwoods setting as opposed to giovanni s modern house thirdly he sings from memory while giovanni uses sheet music he is also implied to be an untrained musician contrasting with the trained giovanni a further contrast is implied through the geographic origin of their songs bugs sings american popular songs while giovanni repertoire is western european in origin the orchestral musicians featured in the short have little to no personality their identity depends only on their instrument chuck jones would follow this idea with similar personalityless depictions in the rabbit of seville and baton bunny this contrasts with orchestradriven animated shorts by other creators by assuming the position of the conductor bugs places himself at the top of the musical hierarchy he forces giovanni into an improvised vocalization which spans his entire range and an exercise of all his technical skills he then forces brings the hollywood bowl crashing down on the singer bugs assumes the stereotypical attributes of famous conductors displaying majesty arrogance and tyrannical behavior he also follows the dress code of the concert hall by wearing white tie and tails formal wear which is still associated with performers censorship on abc the entire bobby soxer sequence with bugs dressed as a bobby soxer giving giovanni jones a dynamite stick as a pen while getting his autograph is cut on cbs in addition to the abc cut all three times bugs gets beaten up by giovanni for interrupting his singing smashing bugs banjo over his head after crushing it to pieces slamming the harp shut on bugs neck pulling bugs through his tuba then tying bugs ears to a tree branch pulling his feet and snapping him back and forth so his head repeatedly strikes the branch are cut giving no reason for bugs to ruin giovanni s concert availability longhaired hare remastered on the looney tunes golden collection volume dvd set disc it

 energetics also called energy economics is the study of energy under transformation because energy flows at all scales from the quantum level to the biosphere and cosmos energetics is a very broad discipline encompassing for example thermodynamics chemistry biological energetics biochemistry and ecological energetics where each branch of energetics begins and ends is a topic of constant debate for example lehninger p contended that when the science of thermodynamics deals with energy exchanges of all types it can be called energetics aims in general energetics is concerned with seeking principles that accurately describe the useful and nonuseful tendencies of energy flows and storages under transformation principles are understood here as phenomena which behave like historical invariants under multiple observations when some critical number of people have observed such invariance such a principle is usually then given the status of a fundamental law of science like in all science whether or not a theorem or principle is considered a to such a proposition the ultimate aim of energetics therefore is the description of fundamental laws philosophers of science have held that the fundamental laws of thermodynamics can be treated as the laws of energetics reiser p through the clarification of these laws energetics aims to produce reliable predictions about energy flow and storage transformations at any scale nano to macro history energetics has a controversial history some authors maintain that the origins of energetics can be found in the work of the ancient greeks but that the mathematical formalisation began with the work of leibniz liet col richard de villamil said that rankine formulated the science of energetics in his paper outlines of the science of energetics published in the proceedings of the philosophical society of glasgow in w ostwald and e mach subsequently developed the study and in the late s energetics was understood to be incompatible with the atomic view of the atom forwarded by boltzmann s gas theory proof of in the s lotka then attempted to build on boltzmann s views through a mathematical synthesis of energetics with biological evolutionary theory lotka proposed that the selective principle of evolution was one which favoured the maximum useful energy flow transformation this view subsequently influenced the further development of ecological energetics especially the work of howard t odum de villamil attempted to clarify the scope of energetics with respects to other branches of physics by contriving a system that divides mechanics into two branches energetics the science of energy and pure abstract or rigid dynamics the science of momentum according to villamil energetics can be mathematically characterised by scalar equations and rigid dynamics by vectorial equations in this division the dimensions for dynamics are space time and mass and for energetics length time and mass villamil p this division is made according to fundamental presuppositions about the properties of bodies which can be expressed according to how one answers to together is there any machinery for stopping moving bodies in villamil s classification system dynamics says yes to and no to whereas energetics says no to and yes to therefore villamil s in system dynamics assumes that particles are rigidly fixed together and can not vibrate and consequently must all be at zero kelvin the conservation of momentum is a consequence of this view however it is considered valid only in logic and not to be a true representation of the facts villamil p in contrast energetics does not assume that particles are rigidly fixed together particles are therefore free to vibrate and consequently can be at nonzero temperatures principles of energetics as a general statement of energy flows under transformation the principles of energetics include the first four laws of thermodynamics which seek a rigorous description however the precise place of the laws of thermodynamics within the principles of energetics is a topic currently under debate if the ecologist howard t into consideration a hierarchical ordering of energy forms which aims to account for the concept of energy quality and the evolution of the universe albert lehninger p called these hierarchical orderings the odum proposed further energetic principles and one corollary that take energy hierarchy into account the first four principles of energetics are related to the same numbered laws of thermodynamics and are expanded upon in that article the final four principles are taken from the ecological energetics of ht odum zeroth principle of energetics if two thermodynamic systems a and b are in thermal equilibrium and b and c are also in thermal equilibrium then a and c are in thermal equilibrium first principle of energetics the increase in the internal energy of a system is equal to the amount of energy added to the system by heating minus the amount lost in the form of work done by the system on its surroundings second principle of energetics the total entropy of any isolated maximum value third principle of energetics as a system approaches absolute zero of temperature all processes cease and the entropy of the system approaches a minimum value or zero for the case of a perfect crystalline substance fourth principle of energetics there seem to be two opinions on the fourth principle of energetics the onsager reciprocal relations are sometimes called the fourth law of thermodynamics as the fourth law of thermodynamics onsager reciprocal relations would constitute the fourth principle of energetics in the field of ecological energetics ht odum considered maximum power the fourth principle of energetics odum also proposed the maximum empower principle as a corollary of the maximum power principle and considered it to describe the propensities of evolutionary selforganization fifth principle of energetics the energy quality factor increases hierarchically from studies of ecological food chains odum proposed that energy transformations form a hierarchical series measured by transformity increase odum p flows of energy develop hierarchical webs in which energy forms of higher quality that feedback amplifier actions helping to maximise the power of the system odum p sixth principle of energetics material cycles have hierarchical patterns measured by the energymass ratio that determines its zone and pulse frequency in the energy hierarchy odum p mt brown and v buranakarn write generally energy per mass is a good indicator of recycleability where materials with high energy per mass are more recyclable p other meanings in a more specialized meaning eg in defense research energetics or energetic materials are a shorthand term for materials such as explosives propellants and pyrotechnics see also energy economics industrial ecology natural capital

 opinion polling in the canadian federal election of held on january showed a long period of variable support for the governing liberal party of canada and opposition conservative party of canada prior to and throughout much of the campaign the liberals held a small lead over the conservatives as of early january the conservatives had taken the lead this was confirmed on election day when the conservatives won a plurality of votes and seats being empowered to form a minority government in the th canadian parliament toc summary in the leadup to the federal election several opinion polls were commissioned to gauge the voting intentions of canadians particularly in the wake of jean brault s testimony at the gomery commission on april the results of these polls showed a dip in support for the liberals which encouraged the conservatives to seek an early election by tabling a nonconfidence motion however liberal support recovered following an agreement with the new democratic party ndp number of incidents involving conservative member of parliament mp gurmant grewal that hurt the conservatives consistently since the brault testimony the polls have indicated that an election would result in an increase in the number of seats for the bloc qubcois and ndp and cyclical gains and losses for the conservatives inversely to the liberals in november the first report by justice john gomery was released to the public subsequently the poll numbers for the liberals again dropped just days later a new poll strategic counsel november showed the liberals were already bouncing back on november the minority liberal government succumbed to another conservative nonconfidence motion supported by the three opposition parties and the writs for an election were dropped the conservatives achieved near parity but early in the campaign again fell back behind the liberals renewed accusations of corruption and impropriety at the end of amid royal canadian mounted police rcmp criminal probes concerning possible government leaks regarding income trust tax changes again and gave them a lead over the liberals portending a possible change in government polling figures for the ndp increased slightly while bloc figures experienced a slight dip figures for the green party did not change appreciably throughout the campaign poll results the dates listed are normally the date the survey was concluded most news and political affairs sources use the convention of using the last date that the poll was conducted in order to establish the inclusionexclusion of current events class wikitable sortable widthpolling firm widthdate widthlink strategic counsel polls from november onwards are multiday polls each new poll removes approximately of the data that is the oldest and replaces it with new data from that day nanos polls from december onwards are day polls each new poll removes the of the data that is the oldest and replaces it with new data from that day various ekos polls contain results from a single night of polling only they have fewer respondents than most are not as credible however they are intended to provide a general indication of daily polling trends this compas poll was taken over the course of a single day polling for this data mostly occurred before jean brault s gomery inquiry testimony was released nb the margin of error in these surveys is typically between and percentage points times out of see the links for actual error values associated with particular surveys note also that because these figures are national percentages they may not reflect the expected number of seats won by each party indeed the sample size in many polls is not sufficient to give a statistically accurate prediction in individual ridings and hence the expected number of seats all polling companies rely on cooperation from individuals contacted over the phone the major companies claim a typical response rate is between and percent seat predictions several websites polling firms and notable canadians devised various method of projecting the final election result included wikitable projector see also canadian federal election

 international inequality is inequality between countries cf milanovic economic differences between rich and poor countries are considerable according to the united nations human development report the gdp per capita in countries with high medium and low human development a classification based on the un human development index was and ppp respectively ppp purchasing power parity measured in united states dollars international wealth distribution a study by the world institute for development economics research at united nations university reports that the richest of adults alone owned of global assets in the year and that the richest of adults accounted for of the world total the bottom half of the world adult population owned barely of global wealth extensive statistics many indicating the growing world disparity are included in the available report press releases excel tables and powerpoint slides the major component of the world s income inequality the global gini coefficient is peaks by quah the first group has of the world s population and receives of the world s ppp income this group includes the united states japan germany the united kingdom france australia and canada and comprises million people with an annual income level over ppp the second group has of the world s population and receives only of the world ppp income this group includes india indonesia and rural china and comprises million people with an income level under ppp see milanovic p economic inequality very closely matches lognormal distribution as one traverses the strata of national and world societies from toptobottom during the th century there was considerable divergence between the economic wealth of developed and developing countries richer countries like the united states and many european countries converged together towards a gdp per capita much greater than developing countries such as india and ethiopia the evolution of the income gap between poor and rich countries is tendency for poorer countries to grow faster than richer ones and hence for their levels of income to converge convergence is a matter of current research and debate but most studies have shown lack of evidence for absolute convergence based on comparisons among countries with regard to this debate see for instance cole and newmayer or according to current research global income inequality peaked approximately in the s when world income was distributed bimodally into rich and poor countries with little overlap since then inequality have been rapidly decreasing and this trend seems to be accelerating income distribution is now unimodal with most people living in middleincome countries world inequality is however increasing possibly because of increase of withincountries inequalities comparisons some of the economic disparities among nations can be better appreciated when rich and poor countries or societies are contrasted for example with regard to income inequality according to some estimates by branko milanovic from the world bank an american having the average income of the milanovic p the top percent of the us population has an aggregate income equal to income of the poorest percent of people in the world or differently put total income of the richest million americans is equal to total income of almost billion people milanovic p with regard to wealth inequality researchers defined wealth as the value of physical and financial assets minus debts a report with data from concluded that india dominates the bottom third of the global wealth distribution contributing a little under a third per cent to be precise of this group the middle third of the distribution is the domain of china which supplies more than a third of those in deciles at the top end north america europe and highincome asia monopolise the top decile each regional group accounting for around one third of the richest wealth holders davies et al p the of global household wealth so that the average member of this group has times the global average holding the corresponding figures for the top per cent top per cent and top per cent are per cent times the average per cent times the average and per cent times the average respectively this compares with the bottom half of the distribution which collectively owns barely per cent of global wealth thus the top per cent own almost times as much as the bottom per cent the contrast with the bottom decile of wealth holders is even starker the average member of the top decile nearly times the mean wealth of the bottom decile and the average member of the top percentile is more than times richer davies et al p for the world as a whole the share of the top per cent was per cent in the year davies et al p only was needed in order to belong to the top half of the world wealth distribution but to be a member of the top per cent required at least and membership of the top per cent required more than per adult davies et al p james davies professor of economics at the university of western ontario and one of the authors of the report said income inequality has been rising for the past to years and we think that is true for inequality in the distribution of wealth there is a group of problems in developing countries that make it difficult for people to build assets which are important since life is so precarious other disparities can be better appreciated when rich individuals or corporations are compared against poor individuals according to some estimates for instance the richest percent of people in the world receive as much as the bottom million richest people receive as much as billion poor milanovic p the three richest people possess more financial assets than the poorest of the world s population combined big link broken big as of may the three richest people in the world have total assets that exceed the annual combined gross domestic product of the countries with the least gdp calculation based on data from list of countries by gdp ppp and list of billionaires annan as of may the richest people in the world have assets that exceed the annual combined gross domestic product of all the least developed countries calculation based on data from list of countries by gdp ppp and list of billionaires further facts wealth of the world population own of the global assets the richest of the world population own more than of the global assets the of the world population own less than of the global assets the whole global assets volume is about trillion us dollarbillionaires own trillion us they own times more than the poor people of the world over of the world population lives on less than usday over of the world population lives on less than usday over of the world population lives on less than usday income in of the world population billion people have an income of less than us day of the world population billion people have an income of less than usday in of the world population billion people had an income of less than us day and of the world population billion people had an income of less than us day but first of all these improvements were reached in china in all other developing countries only the percents decreased increased in of the people in the developing countries are on the verge of starvation the proportion of poor people with less than us per year is the proportion of rich people with more than us year is welfare spending if east asia and southern latin american countries are taken out of the equation the differences in government spending between the industrialized and developing states are striking with the latter registering extremely low levels of spending social expenditure as a proportion for gdp for indonesia or the dominican republic registers around the per cent mark compared to sweden or france which at the moment hover just under the per cent mark in contrast to the industrialized states from to many southern states experienced a decline in social spending as a percentage of overall government spending therefore in contrast to the north the developing states are far more vulnerable to the pressures arising from economic globalization overall social regions registering just a few per cent of gdp however some people argue that decrease in welfare spending is not an issue of global inequality but rather a common phenomenon in an era of globalization schools of thought on economic inequality there are various schools of thought regarding economic inequality marxism favors an eventual society where distribution is based on an individual s needs rather than social class or other such factors meritocracy favors an eventual society where an individual s success is a direct function of contribution reflecting an individual s skills and effort and detrimental this is a value judgement inasmuch as it represent inherited or unjustified wealth or opportunities classical liberals and libertarians generally do not take a stance on wealth inequality but believe in equality under the law regardless of whether it leads to unequal wealth distribution arguments based on social justice favor a more equal distribution making claims economic inequality weakens societies although counterarguments are made that inequality might benefit societies

twovolume sequel called nodame cantabile opera chapter which began serialization in the december issue of kiss was released in it is licensed in north america by del rey manga the series depicts the relationship between two aspiring classical musicians megumi nodame noda and shinichi chiaki as university students and after graduation it received the kodansha manga award for best shjo manga the series has been adapted as two different television series as an awardwinning liveaction drama that aired in followed by a sequel television special that aired in january and as an anime series spanning three seasons with the first one broadcast in the two liveaction movie sequels to the television drama with the same actors were produced with release dates of december and april in addition several soundtrack albums of classical music have been released as well as three video games plot shinichi chiaki an arrogant multilingual perfectionist is the top student at momogaoka college of music and has secret ambitions to become a conductor born into a musical family he is talented in piano and violin and once lived abroad in the music capitals of the world as a young boy namely prague but is trapped in japan because of his childhood phobia of airplanes and the ocean in contrast megumi noda or nodame is a piano student at momogaoka notorious for messiness and eccentric behavior despite being very talented nodame prefers to play by ear rather than according to the musical score thus she is regarded as sloppy and playful when they meet by accident nodame quickly falls in love begin to appreciate nodame s unusual qualities their relationship causes them both to develop and grow along the way they meet some crazy people like masumi mine and stresemann and make lasting friendships because of nodame chiaki gets the opportunity to lead a student orchestra and begins to have a broader appreciation of people s musical abilities because of chiaki nodame faces her fears and enters a piano competition opportunities open up as both begin taking risks stretching themselves far more than they ever thought possible after graduation nodame succeeds in curing chiaki from his phobias and they both move to paris where nodame continues her piano studies at the conservatoire de paris while chiaki starts a professional career as a conductor in europe they encounter new friends and rivals as well as keep in touch with their friends from japan development tomoko ninomiya based the character of megumi noda on a reallife counterpart with the same name ninomiya first learned about the real noda when the latter a photograph of her messy room on a website ninomiya managed this inspired her to start a comedy series about a sloppy music student ninomiya consults with noda about musical details claiming to receive inspiration from her and thanks noda in the acknowledgments of every tankbon volume of nodame cantabile noda currently a piano teacher in fukuoka the hometown of her fictional counterpart composed the music and cowrote with ninomiya the lyrics for the fart song nodame plays in the first episode of the anime series and visited ninomiya upon the birth of her son ninomiya also based the character of james depreist the musical director of the fictional rouxmarlet orchestra in paris on a reallife counterpart with the same name james depreist was

comics journal praised ninomiya s storytelling saying she has a solid sense of when to accentuate the highs and lows with just the right note and understands that one can only do this by not hitting such notes very often resulting in an understated soap opera that is a seamless and enjoyable storytelling experience reviewers have called ninomiya s character development subtle while noting it is the character interactions that drive the story and that each character has a real and lasting effect on others reviewers also cite ninomiya s ability to depict scenes of people playing music that no one can hear and her sense of humor as factors in the series appeal ninomiya has been criticized for not handling transitions between storylines well for sometimes letting the characters derail the

 oral interpretation is a dramatic art also commonly called interpretive reading and dramatic reading though these terms are more conservative and restrictive in certain applications oral interpretation is also a theatre art as in reader s theatre in which a work of literature is performed with manuscripts in hand or more traditionally using stools and music stands and especially chamber theatre which dispenses with manuscripts and uses what may be described as essentialist costuming and stage lighting and suggestive scenery the term is succinctly defined by paul campbell the speaking and speakers of literature dickinson as the oralization of literature or more eloquently if less intelligibly by charlotte lee and timothy gura oral interpretation houghtonmifflin as the art of communicating to an audience a work of literary art in its intellectual emotional and aesthetic entirety historically essential to charlotte lee s definition of oral interpretation is the fact the performer is reading view has long since become the minority opinion on the question so that whether one is or is not reading from a manuscript the art retains the same name voice and movement technique is opsis spectacle while oral interpretation is conceptually melopoiia music technique because oral interpretation is an essential dramatic element in all performance art even dance in which the oral element is most typically a silent element all actors singers storytellers etc are interpreters but not all interpreters are necessarily actors or singers or storytellers and so on when for example the writer david sedaris reads one of his stories on stage or when leonard cohen performs one of his lyric poems they are both engaged in the art of oral interpretation but sedaris is no actor and even cohen himself would say that he is no singer in the united states to whether oral interpretation and dramatheatre performance are different names for the same thing or whether they are completely different art forms this argument is almost exclusively found at colleges and universities whose theatre programs evolved in departments historically or currently called english and speech speech and dramatic arts or communication and theatre arts the argument is rarely heard in theatre programs that did not evolve out of english andor speech communication departments such as those associated with schoolscolleges of music in high schools across the united states oral interpretation is a very highly valued competition event particularly in the midwestern states such as nebraska iowa and south dakota students select a work of literature make a cutting of the literature to fit a time limit of minutes and perform it in several rounds at tournaments across their state the piece must be from a published worthwhile piece of literature with the exception of readers theatre the categories of said event are as follows serious proseinterpretation of a work of prose humorous interpinterpretation of any published work of comedic literature singleperson event dramatic interpinterpretation of a dramatic play with a serious nature singleperson event poetryinterpretation of a published work of poetry singleperson event nonoriginal oratoryinterpretation of an oratorical speech that has been previously delivered singleperson event duo toolong of a piece of literature where two interpers are involved the pair may not look at nor touch each other and must deliver the piece in the direction of the audience this category has the most stringent rules readers theatrea theatrical interpretation performance where people participate they may perform an original piece or they may take a cutting from a work of literature this category has the least amount of rules references

 twinturbo or biturbo refers to a turbocharged engine in which two turbochargers compress the intake charge more specifically called parallel twinturbos other kinds of turbocharging include sequential turbocharging and staged turbocharging the latter is used in diesel automobile racing applications parallel twinturbo paralleled twinturbo refers to the turbocharger configuration in which two identical turbochargers function simultaneously splitting the turbocharging duties equally each turbocharger is driven by half of the engine s spent exhaust energy in most applications the compressed air from both turbos is combined in a common intake manifold and sent to the individual cylinders usually each turbocharger is mounted to its own individual exhaustturbo manifold but on inlinetype engines both turbochargers can be mounted to a single turbo manifold parallel twin turbos applied to vshaped engines are usually mounted with one turbo assigned to each cylinder bank providing packaging symmetry and simplifying plumbing over a single turbo setup when used on inline engines parallel twin turbos are commonly applied with two smaller turbos which can provide similar some examples of parallel twinturbo inline engines are nissan s rbdett bmw s n and volvo s bt and bt some examples of v formation engines with parallel twinturbos include mitsubishi s att and gtt nissan s vgdett and vrdett and audi s s b a and rs while a parallel twinturbo setup theoretically has less turbo lag than a single turbocharger set up this is not always the case due to many factors marginally reduced combined inertial resistance simplified exhaust plumbing and the simultaneous spooling of both turbos means that there can still be a noticeable bit of lag especially in highflow turbohigh boost applications some ways to counter this are to use a light pressure set up with smaller turbos where the turbos are designed to output less boost but spool earlier while this setup sacrifices some top end power it still has less lag than a similar engine with a single turbo set up making the same power another system would be the use of the guide vanes depending on the exhaust pressure giving the system excellent power throughout the rev range once used mainly in turbocharged diesel engines chrysler was the first to use it in massproduction gasolinepowered vehicles with the shelby csx debuted in it is possible to use parallel operation with more than two turbochargers two such examples are the bugatti eb and bugatti veyron both of which run four turbochargers in parallel the eb runs turbos on a litre v engine producing hp kw at rpm while the veyron uses an litre cylinder engine to generate pskw hp lkon sequential turbos sequential turbos refer to a setup in which the motor utilizes one turbocharger for lower engine speeds and a second or both turbochargers at higher engine speeds typically larger highflow turbochargers are not as efficient at low rpm resulting in lower intake manifold pressures under these conditions on the other hand smaller turbos spool up quickly at low rpm but can not supply mid engine speeds when available spent exhaust energy is minimal only one relatively small turbocharger called the primary turbocharger is active during this period all of the engine s exhaust energy is directed to the primary turbocharger only providing the small turbo s benefits of a lower boost threshold minimal turbo lag and increased power output at low engine speeds as rpm increases the secondary turbocharger is partially activated in order to prespool prior to its full utilization once a preset engine speed or boost pressure is attained valves controlling compressor and turbine flow through the secondary turbocharger are opened completely the primary turbocharger is deactivated at this point in some applications in this way a full twinturbocharger setup provides the benefits associated with a large turbo including maximum power output without the disadvantage of increased turbo lag sequential turbocharger systems provide a way to decrease turbo lag without compromising ultimate boost output and engine power perhaps the most noteworthy application of this system is the fourthgeneration toyota supra most reliable sequential turbo system yet fitted to a production automobile with a reported failure rate of less than as of other examples of cars with a sequential twinturbo setup include the porsche the eunos cosmo jc mazda rx fds turbo brew engine and the jdm subaru legacy gt gtb amp b rsk ejtt engine staged turbocharging a sequential turbo can also refer to a system where the output pressure must be greater than can be provided by a single turbo commonly called a staged twin turbo system in this case multiple similarly sized turbochargers are used in sequence but both operate constantly the first turbo boosts pressure as much as possible for example to three times the intake pressure subsequent turbos take the charge from the previous stage and compresses it further for example to an additional three times intake pressure for a total boost of nine times atmospheric pressure this configuration is commonly found on piston engine lower engine speed and thus where turbo lag is not a primary design consideration and where the intake pressure is quite low due to low atmospheric pressure at altitude requiring a very high pressure ratio highperformance diesel engines also sometimes use this configuration since diesel engines do not suffer from preignition issues and can use significantly higher boost pressure than otto cycle engines advantages in diesel emissions while spark ignition engines have fallen out of favor of the sequential turbo design many diesel companies now make engines with sequential turbos in order to reduce emissions caterpillar inc acert engines utilize sequential turbos as well as international on some of their newest engines 
 william basse c was an english poet a follower of edmund spenser he is now remembered principally for an elegy on shakespeare he is also noted for his angler s song which was written for izaak walton who included it in the compleat angler familybackground william basse s family background and place of birth are unknown he was described by the antiquary anthony wood in as of moreton near thame in oxfordshire sometime a retainer to the lord wenman of thame park r warwick bond has suggested that basse may have come to thame from northamptonshire as page to agnes fermor first wife of richard wenman st viscount wenman and daughter of sir george fermor of easton neston northamptonshire from the references made in basse s poems to francis norris st earl of berkshire it has been inferred that the poet was at one time also attached to his household at rycote oxfordshire basse dedicated polyhymnia wife of montagu bertie nd earl of lindsey and the opening poem in the volume is addressed to the countess s grandfather francis norris st earl of berkshire in playne my honour d lord i was not borne audacious vowes or forraigne legs to use nature denyed my outside to adorne and i of art to learne outsides refuse yet haveing of them both enough to scorne silence and vulgar prayse this humble muse and her meane favourite at your command chose in this kinde to kisse your noble hand career basse was educated at lord williams s school the long interval of fiftyone years between the production of the first and last poems bearing basse s signature led john payne collier to conjecture that there were two poets of the same name and he attributed to an elder william basse the works published in and to a younger william basse all those published later the to support this conclusion urania the last poem of the collection bearing the date has all the metrical characteristics of the sword and buckler of and bathurst s verses prove that basse followed his poetical career through many generations a william basse of suffolk entered emmanuel college cambridge as a sizar in and took the degree of ba in and that of ma in but it is highly improbable that this student was the poet there was a family named basse of benhall suffolk in the seventeenth century of whom a william died in aged and left a son thomas and a grandson william probably the cambridge student but it is impossible to identify the poet with any member of this family the fact that his great brittaines sunnesset was published at oxford and his intimate relations with two great oxfordshire houses seem to connect

a unique perfect copy is in the bodleian library it was reprinted in j p collier s illustrations of early english popular literature vol ii in the only copy known of the latter is in winchester college library in an elegy on henry frederick prince of wales called great brittaines sunnesset bewailed with a shower of teares by william basse was issued by joseph barnes at oxford it was dedicated by the author to his honourable master sir richard wenman knight and was reproduced at oxford by w h allnutt from the perfect copy at the bodleian in no other volume of basse s poems was printed in his lifetime but two manuscript collections prepared for the press are still extant of these one bears the title of polyhymnia and has never been printed the only copy of it now known belonged on the flyleaf is the autograph of francis lord norreys to whom the opening verses are addressed and to whose sister bridget countess of lindsey the collection is dedicated another manuscript of polyhymnia described by cole in his manuscript athen cantab and now lost differed materially from the corser manuscript the second collection left by basse in manuscript consists of three long pastoral poems of which the first is dedicated to sir richard wenman bears the date and was printed for the first time in j p collier s miscellaneous tracts in to it is prefixed a poem addressed to basse by ralph afterwards dean bathurst who compares the author to an aged oak and says thy grey muse grew up with older times and our deceased grandsires lisp d the rhymes bathurst s verses were printed in warton s pleasant with the inscription to mr w basse upon the intended publication of his poems january according to david kathman basse s most famous occasional poem is his enormously popular sixteenline elegy on shakespeare it was written between when shakespeare died and when jonson responded to basse in his own tribute to shakespeare in the first folio wells and taylor list twentyseven different seventeenthcentury manuscript versions of the poem ten of which attribute it to basse including one british library lansdowne ms fol v in the handwriting of basse s friend

 a deinosauriscus small elzanowski amp wellnhofer type small archaeornithoides is a genus of maniraptoriform theropod dinosaur of the late cretaceous of mongolia discovery and naming in a polishmongolian paleontological expedition found a fossil of a small dinosaur at bayn dzak mongolia in the find was reported by andrzej elzanowski the remains were named as the type species archaeornithoides deinosauriscus by elzanowski and peter wellnhofer in in they were described in more detail by the same authors the generic name archaeornithoides means shaped like an ancient bird in ancient greek from archaios ancient ornis bird and eidos form the specific descriptor deinosauriscus little dinosaur alludes to the animal s small size for a dinosaur the holotype zpal mgdii was discovered dating from the late campanian it consists of an articulated but fragmentary skull and lower jaws comprehending paired maxillae a partial jugal palate bones and dentaries the specimen represents a juvenile individual description the holotype of archaeornithoides was a very small individual the head fragment as preserved measures just twentyseven millimetres in length indicating an original skull length of about five centimetres the body length was estimated at fifty to sixty centimetres making the archaiornithoides type one of the smallest known nonavian dinosaurs adult length is uncertain the snout of archaeornithoides features a long antorbital fenestra stretching over three quarters of the length of the maxilla the maxilla bears at least eight teeth these are small conical and smooth lacking wrinkles serrations or carinae the palatine bone seems to show the presence of a secondary fenestra classification elanowski amp wellnhofer claimed that archaeornithoides was the closest known relative to features an interdigitated suture between the premaxilla and maxilla broad palatal shelves pneumatic sinuses lack of interdental plates and unserrated teeth since publication though all of these features have been discovered in new fossils of adult andor juvenile troodonts and dromaeosaurs the describing authors in also concluded that archaeornithoides was closely related to troodontids spinosauridae and lisboasaurus all these taxa together with birds forming a clade showing that birds originated from a more basal position than normally assumed however subsequent research has not supported a close relationship between spinosaurids and troodontids and lisboasaurus was later shown to be a lizard or a crocodylomorph some scientists had suggested that the juvenile specimen of archaeornithoides may belong to a previously known species of mongolian troodontid either saurornithoides or byronosaurus however studies of a juvenile byronosaurus skull showed that theropod dinosaurs possess many distinctive adult characteristics even characters solidly linking archaeornithoides to known adult specimens shows that it is probably a distinct species bever and norell in found no evidence to support the placement of archaeornithoides close to avialae and only weak support for the idea that it is a juvenile troodontid possible predation by mammals elzanowski and wellnhofer noted that the specimen has distinct bite marks while the back of the head fragment was ragged and suggested that the jaws were bitten off from its braincase by a deltatheridiid deltatheridium mammal the size of a weasel adding that these are common in the bayn dzak assemblage clark and colleagues noted that it may have also passed through the digestive tract of the predator before fossilization if true this may be the first known evidence of mesozoic mammals feeding on dinosaurs see repenomamus 
 dead rubber is a term used in sporting parlance to describe a match in a series where the series result has already been decided by earlier matches the dead rubber match therefore has no effect on the winner and loser of the series other than the number of matches won and lost the term is widely used in davis cup and fed cup tennis as well as in international cricket and field hockey series and in the fifa world cup for example in a davis cup series each pair of competing countries play five matches rubbers where the winner is decided on a bestoffive basis where the result is known before the completion of the five matches if one side accumulates an unassailable number of victories three the remaining match or matches are said to be deadrubbers because the result of a dead rubber match is unimportant in the series result winning teams in onesided competitions sometimes have difficulty in completing a clean sweep are played in a less intense atmosphere thus allowing the lesser team to sneak a win sometimes a secondstring player who has not played much in toplevel competition is used to play a dead rubber in order to gain experience

lot and began selling his melting ice cream to vacationers driving by within two days he had sold his entire supply of ice cream and concluded that both a fixed location and soft as opposed to hard frozen desserts were potentially good business ideas in carvel opened his first store on the original broken down truck site and developed a secret soft serve ice cream formula as well as patented

that was compatible with the american machines thatcher s precise role at lyons is unclear but she is reported to have worked on the company s ice cream products as well as cakes and pies a common anecdote is that by inventing soft serve ice cream thatcher added air lowered quality and raised profits in the s ice cream machine manufacturers introduced mechanized air pumps into vending machines providing better aeration characteristics soft serve is generally lower in milkfat to and is produced at a temperature of about c compared to ice cream which is stored at c soft serve contains air introduced at the time of freezing the air content called overrun can vary from to of the total volume of finished product the amount of air alters the taste of the finished product product with low quantities of air has a heavy icy taste and appears more yellow product with higher air content tastes creamier smoother and lighter and appears whiter the optimum quantity of air is determined by the other ingredients and individual taste it is generally accepted that the ideal air content should be between and of volume more than this and the product loses taste tends to shrink as it loses air and melts more quickly than that with less air all ice cream must be frozen quickly to avoid crystallization with soft serve this is accomplished by a special machine at the point of sale to the storage chamber of the machine where it is kept at c when product is drawn from the draw valve fresh mix combined with the targeted quantity of air is introduced to the freezing chamber either by gravity or pump it is then churned and quick frozen and stored until required premix can be obtained in several forms fresh liquid that requires constant refrigeration until needed it can be stored for to days before spoiling by bacterial contamination quality can be severely compromised by bacterial contamination and handlers must exercise caution to maintain quality a powdered mix this is a dried version of the liquid mix it has the advantage of easy distribution and can be stored for long periods of time without spoiling water must be added prior to being churned and frozen the disadvantage is that water quality can not be guaranteed and some operators can put too much water in to make it go further it also should be refrigerated to degrees celsius prior to use as airborne and waterborne the product is warm residual bacteria in the refrigerated storage compartment can also be activated by warm product being introduced ultra heat treated mix a liquid that has been sterilized and packed in sealed sterile bags it can last a very long time without refrigeration and can be poured into the soft serve freezer immediately upon opening however it should be refrigerated to degrees celsius prior to use for the same reasons outlined above at the time of opening quality can be guaranteed and bacterial counts are zero where it is available health authorities consider it

 the desert monitor varanus griseus is a species of monitor lizards of the order squamata found living throughout north africa and south asia three subspecies have been described v g griseus grey monitor v g caspius caspian monitor v g koniecznyi indian desert monitor the desert monitor is carnivorous feeding on a wide range of vertebrates and invertebrates description body features varanus griseus monitor lizards normally display a variety of body coloration from light brown and yellow to grey they average about one meter in length but can reach total body lengths of almost two meters these lizards can also have horizontal bands on either their backs or tails along with yellow spots across their backs their young are normally a brightly colored orange and have distinctive bands across their backs which may be lost as they mature their nostrils are slits located farther the nose and their overall body size is dependent on the available food supply the time of year environmental climate and reproductive state males are generally larger and more robust than females but females have a more gentle look about them those differences allow males to be distinguished from females from a distance without careful inspection adult monitor lizards also go through periods of molting in which they shed their outer layer of skin to expand their overall body size this process can take several months and happens around three times per year their skin is adapted to the desert environment where they live and they are excellent swimmers and divers and have been known to enter the water occasionally to hunt for food subspecies varanus griseus griseus the v g griseus subspecies grey monitor has five to eight narrow grey bands on its back as well as bands on its tail its tail is more rounded that those the adult depends on which habitat they are living their coloration can be from simple grey in desertlike ecosystems to brilliantly colored in areas with large amounts of plant growth their most common prey is lizards and snakes but can also include groundnesting birds and other small mammals varanus griseus caspius the v g caspius subspecies caspian monitor has five to eight bands on its back bands on its tail a plain tail tip and about rows of scales in the middle section of its body it has the largest body of the three subspecies and is considered to be in danger of becoming extinct they are found in mainly sandy or clay environments although sporadically in sparsely woodland areas their diets include tortoises and their eggs small mammals and adult cobras and vipers they are strong diggers and can easily build burrows that are several feet long varanus griseus koniecznyi subspecies indian desert monitor has three to five bands on its back bands on its tail a plain tail tip rows of scales on its midsection and a broader and flatter head when compared to the other subspecies it is mainly found in pakistan and india and has the smallest body of the three subspecies they have been reported to possibly not go through the normal hibernation period over the winter but are still inactive and do not feed between december and march their normal diets consist mainly of invertebrates but can also branch out to other lizards and small mammals lifestyle v griseus goes into hibernation from about september to april in april is a mass exodus from their hibernation and they become most active between may and july during the middle of the day the lizards mainly stay in their burrows and only come to the desert surface to search for food the monitor lizards require approximately three to four full about cm excluding their tails and at least three hibernation periods before they become sexually mature the overall lifespan of v griseus in the wild does not normally exceed around eight years in both males and females importance of body temperature v griseus is a coldblooded ectotherm whose behaviors therefore depend on the outside temperatures many lizards become sluggish in cold weather and even may become inactive if the temperature decreases substantially their olfactory and nerve signals significantly slow down which severely limit the lizard from either catching potential prey or escaping from predators the body temperature of v griseus is directly proportional to its running speed between the temperatures of and c between those temperatures the running speed of the monitor lizard increases from a little over ms at c to around ms at c over c its running speed does not increase and below c the lizards are extremely sluggish if they are less than c they will not flee but will instead hold their ground and become extremely aggressive the more their body temperatures drop the more aggressive the lizards become in contrast they can easily run away from the threat if their body temperatures are high enough to allow for rapid movements the body temperature of v griseus depends mainly on the outside environment time of day season etc their internal temperatures begin warming up before they even leave their burrows through conductive heat gain and their temperatures rapidly rise once they begin basking in the morning sun and reach their highest point in the noonday heat the specific body temperature of v griseus can vary depending on the average temperatures of the country they live in but their maximum body temperature does not usually exceed c even when basking in the sunlight male monitor lizards are generally more active and have a higher average body temperature than the females the body temperature of but in many areas the average body temperature during hibernation is around c reproduction desert monitor reproduction normally takes place between may and july copulation occurs in may and june and the lizards normally lay their eggs from the latter part of june through the beginning of july the eggs are incubated at temperatures from to c and hatch after an average of days at birth the baby lizards have a total length of around cm feeding hunting and diet like most members of the genus varanus v griseus is a carnivore the preferred prey of the species is mice eggs or fish but it will also prey on smaller mammals reptiles birds amphibians insects or other invertebrates if the opportunity presents itself venom the possibility of venom in the genus varanus is widely debated previously venom was thought to be unique to serpentes snakes of a varanus bite were thought to be due to oral bacteria alone but recent studies have shown venom glands are more likely in the mouths of several if not all of the species v griseus has not yet been specifically tested but its bites have shown aftereffects consistent with the venomous bites from other varanid lizards the venom can be used as a defensive mechanism to fend off predators to help digest food to sustain oral hygiene and possibly to help in capturing and killing prey conservation v griseus is not threatened in much of its habitat although a great deal of the land previously inhabited by the subspecies v g caspius has been turned into farmland which puts pressure on the species around skins of this lizard are involved in commercial trade every year while trading the skins internationally is prohibited by the convention on international trade in endangered species of wild fauna and flora cites parts of india the species is unprotected from hunting laws and is still hunted commercially captivity these lizards rarely do well and at most live only a few years in captivity on occasion when their living requirements can be specifically met they have been documented to live for more than years although they never become docile and never become accustomed to being handled in captivity their environments should mirror those of many grounddwelling animals as well as their natural desert habitat they require lower temperatures to hibernate during the winter along with warmer temperatures during the summer months and their diets in captivity should be similar to their diets in the wild distribution jordan turkey from urfa eiselt bhme morocco algeria tunisia libya

 akabia ben mahalalel was a jewish religious teacher probably of the second tannaitic generation st and nd centuries of his early history nothing is known there are no references to his teachers and comparatively few of his sayings have been preserved the mishnah portrays him as a man who fearlessly and persistently maintained opinions on some halakhot even in cases where different traditions were held by the majority of his colleagues because those opinions were founded on traditions he had received from his predecessors on one occasion the majority demanded that he renounce his divergent opinions but he refused it was even intimated to him that in the event of his compliance he would be elevated to the position of av beit din president of the court but akabia rejected the proposition remarking i would rather be called a fool all my lifetime than be a sinner for one moment his traditional burial location is in of the discussion of the halakah concerning the administration of the water of jealousy num akabia declared that if the subject of the test was not a freeborn jewess the testwater was not to be administered while the majority declared a proselyte or an emancipated slave to be the equal of a freeborn daughter in israel in support of their view the majority cited a case in point where the former associate presidents of the sanhedrin shemaiah and abtalion had the test made on a freed woman whereupon akabia disdainfully exclaimed dugma hishuha this might mean to one like themselves they gave to drink and may be construed as an allusion to an old rumor to the effect that these associate presidents were themselves lineal descendants of proselytes or it might mean they gave her a sham to drink the memory of those chiefs being held in esteem akabia s insinuation gave offense wherefore the sentence of nidduy isolation bore to the end of his days rather than violate his convictions however before his death he admonished his son to submit to the views of the majority even in the cases where he himself had shown such persistent opposition his son expressing surprise at so apparent an inconsistency the dying sage replied i have received my tradition from a majority of a school in my days and so have my opponents i was bound to conform to the tradition i had received and so are they bound by their tradition but thou hast heard the traditions both from myself and from my opponents from a minority and from a majority and it is proper for thee to reject the opinions of the individual and adopt the views of the majority another characteristic trait of akabia was the great stress he laid on personal merit when on his deathbed he was requested by his son to recommend him to the sages he declined to do so his son inquired whether his unworthy of such recommendation and akabia s reply was no but thine own deeds will make thee welcome or thine own deeds will make thee obnoxious akabia s motto in life was remember whence thou hast come whither thou goest and before whom thou must be prepared to render an account of thy doings beyond this maxim and the halakot enumerated above nothing from him has been transmitted as to his epoch scholars are divided while some place him in the patriarchate of hillel i bc to of the present era and even somewhat earlier others bring him down to the first tannaitic generation still others believe that he flourished during the patriarchate of gamaliel ii the circumstances and scholastic achievements of the second tannaitic generation render akabia s excommunication more reasonable the decree of excommunication failed to obscure akabia s merited fame for his name reached subsequent generations surrounded by such a halo of glory as to exclaims judah b ilai one of the tannaim of the fourth generation that we should think that akabia was excommunicated for the temple gates were never closed behind a man in israel so great in wisdom and in the fear of sin as was akabia ben mahalalel this expression which is based on the law forbidding an excommunicated person to enter the temple court was in later days taken literally and gave rise to forced halakic discussions and comments as well as to hypothetical speculations about the age of akabia elsewhere it is said whoever asserts that akabia was ever excommunicated will have to answer before the tribunal of heaven this observation is wrongly attributed to judah b betera i and conclusions as to akabia s early age are erroneously deduced therefrom bibliography nehemiah brll mebo hamishnah i zecharias frankel darke hamishnah pp et seq heinrich grtz iv isaak markus jost geschichte des judenthums und seiner sekten ii i m weiss dor i hamburger r b t ii joseph derenbourg essai sur lhistoire de la palestine p mendelsohn rev t juives xli

 moira is a village and civil parish in county down northern ireland it is in the northwest of the county near the borders with counties antrim and armagh the m motorway and belfastdublin railway line are nearby the settlement has existed since time immemorial in a estimate the northern ireland statistics and research agency approximated the population of moira to be history toponymy the etymology of moira is somewhat uncertain it seems to be an anglicisation of the irish maigh rath which may mean either plain of the wheels or plain of the ringforts another irish form of the name is mag rath the change most probably occurred during or before the plantation of ulster regardless moira has now evolved to become both the official name and the one in everyday use prehistory to early modern period moira has been a settlement for at least years for the period it consisted most evidence of three such forts still remain the best known of these is the socalled rough fort situated on the old kilmore road however the remains of pretty mary s fort exist behind the waringfield residential area finally evidence of a third ringfort can be found near claremont the existence of these primitive defences coupled with the goodview afforded from the top of moira hill made the settlement strategically valuable proximity to lough neagh enhanced this value accordingly during the repeated power struggles of the first millennium the area was often fought over and eventually witnessed the largest battle in the history of ireland when three tribal kings contested the area to determine supremacy in ulster and beyond this was the battle of moira its impact on moira is still felt two townlands still bear battle names aughnafosker meaning field of slaughter and carnalbanagh meaning the scotsman s grave after the battle a bishop by the name of ronan finn who was later canonized was alleged to have created remains shrouded in mystery it is known that the town and its hinterland were under the control of the olavery clan for a considerable period they were catholic families who held sway in large parts of armagh indeed prior to the nine years war ulster was the most gaelic part of ireland there were few towns few roads and much of the country was thickly wooded however the subjugation of ulster by the victorious armies of elizabeth i greatly reduced the clout of gaelic hierarchs the olaverys included but it was their participation in the irish rebellion of doomed their dominance the english authorities crushed the rebellion and confiscated vast amounts of native irish property in moira as in the rest of ireland as a direct result of this the protestant plantations of ulster which began in was accelerated arrival of the rawdon family in major george rawdon a wealthy man from the village of rawdon in yorkshire settled in moira during the irish rebellion of he and oneill and resecure moira and its environs for the crown in an officer by the name of major de burgh purchased a small estate and built a brick house in moira this house the forerunner of moira castle was subsequently purchased by rawdon following his actions in putting down rebellion rawdon subsequently purchased vast amounts of land in the area most probably financed by confiscations from the dead or subjugated catholic rebels and was said to have developed it greatly in he was created a baronet by charles ii at some point in his life he became a member of parliament somewhat unfortunately he was nicknamed the great highwayman for his development of roads infrastructure in and around moira sir george rawdon was succeeded in his title by his son sir arthur rawdon later rawdon baronets sir arthur who would also become an irish mp became a general in the armies of king william iii during the jacobite war in ireland he was quickly besieged in derry but protestant ascendancy of which he was a part yet again restored sir arthur who had presumably profited greatly from the war returned to moira having inherited the brick mahor house his father had purchased he decided to expand it greatly and it became one of the largest residences in the whole island to be called moira castle the castle which in fact was a mansion was also accompanied by vast gardens these gardens became world famous in sir arthur utilised his friendship with fellow downshireborn botanist sir hans sloane and acquired from him the seeds of exotic plants and instructions in how to grow them to fit his ends sir arthur also constructed in moira the first hothouse in europe the subsequent baronets maintained the gardens though the hothouse did not survive for generations in sir john rawdon rd baronet helped fund the construction of the anglican moira parish church dedicated to st john the lords rawdon in sir john rawdon th baronet the baron rawdon of moira he subsequently flirted with methodism and invited john wesley to speak at moira church this caused a major religious rift in the town and though wesley did speak he did so from the grounds of moira castle not the church for which the rawdons had largely paid he was also granted a higher title in by king george iii when he was made earl of moira in addition to flirting with methodism lord rawdon also flirted with irish selfgovernment albeit under the ascendancy opposing the efforts of william pitt to forge closer links with great britain in the first decade of his ministry his death in was significant in moira history in that it marked the largest funeral in the history of ireland a testament to his extensive political connections over four hundred carriages were in procession this lord rawdon is buried in the family crypt in the church upon his death his son francis rawdonhastings became the earl of moira a respected general and head of the family was nevertheless negative for the town of moira which had risen greatly in prestige as a result of his predecessors he neglected the gardens in the moira estate which subsequently declined into decay he also spent the vast majority of his time in england moira present the nd earl was raised to a yethigher rank of the peerage in when he was created marquess of hastings subordinating the moira title lord hastings would be the last member of the rawdon family to reside in moira castle which he had always used as a secondary residence in any case in he sold it to sir robert bateson st baronet who also did not use it as a primary residence the status of moira thus declined considerably the rawdons legacy would linger however with several streets and housing developments bearing their name centuries later fortunately for the denizens of moira the acts of union had reduced the power of the ascendency and moira was now the great reform act had reduced the ability of landowners in general and lords in particular to control moira moira itself continued to develop during this period a canal was built to the north which became the boundary between counties antrim and down and a market hall completed at the expense of the bateson family in about it was considered to have market the completion of the village in moira railway station was completed and is now the oldest such structure on the island of ireland moira castle itself was vacated by the batesons and was demolished during the victorian era a few gate stumps remain as does some stepping for the famous gardens and the dugout cellar during the second world war the grounds of moira demesne as the castle had become known were used by the army as a medical centre

was intended to kill police officers due to do a shift change the blast was so loud that it could be heard fully twenty miles km away in belfast the bomb caused extensive damage resulting in the

 the right worshipful grand lodge of the most ancient and honorable fraternity of free and accepted masons of pennsylvania and masonic jurisdiction thereunto belonging is the premier masonic organization in the commonwealth of pennsylvania it is one of the oldest grand lodges in the united states having been established on september by delegates from the thirteen lodges holding warrants or charters from the provincial grand lodge of pennsylvania a provincial grand lodge of the ancients grand lodge of england history the rise and fall of the moderns two english grand lodges erected lodges in pennsylvania during the th century the premier grand lodge of england known as the moderns established in london in and the ancient grand lodge of england established in london in the first of these the moderns grand lodge was first to establish lodges and provincial grand lodges in the american colonies but in pennsylvania by the moderns and their lodges had ceased to exist ancient grand lodge of england the tun tavern lodge the earliest records of any masonic lodge on the north american continent are the records for the lodge at the tun tavern in philadelphia officially known as the st john s no lodge the tun tavern was the first brew house in the city being built in and was located on the waterfront at the corner of water street and tun alley the extant records of the lodge begin on june but the lodge may have been older than that it was reported by benjamin franklin in his gazette for december that there were several lodges of free masons erected in this province the tun tavern being a popular meeting place in philadelphia was undoubtedly the first location of a lodge in philadelphia other organizations were formed there including the st george s society in and the st andrew s society in even the united states marine corps was founded there on november tun tavern lodge the tun tavern lodge which was never warranted or issued a charter being an immemorial rights lodge died out about due to an antimasonic fever that swept the colony at that time the moderns provincial grand master the first official act of the moderns grand lodge regarding the american colonies was the creation of a provincial grand master for new york new jersey and pennsylvania naming one daniel coxe esq to that office this deputation issued on june was made by the grand master the duke of norfolk and was to remain in effect for two years from june to june at which time according to the deputation the members were empowered to elect a provincial grand master coxe who had not yet left for the colonies attended grand lodge in london on january where he was toasted as the provincial grand master of north america as expected coxe did not arrive locating in burlington new jersey about miles from philadelphia where he had been awarded a colonial judgeship the are no explicit records to show that daniel coxe ever organized a provincial grand lodge nor to have erected any lodges nor ever exercised his authority in any way as provincial grand master prior to his death on april in fact his death which was reported in the pennsylvania gazette by benjamin franklin a member of the tun tavern lodge in philadelphia does not even mention that coxe was a freemason indicating that franklin and the other members of the craft in philadelphia were unaware of his affiliation however an entry in liber b the oldest known record of a lodge in the americas the second record book of st john s lodge philadelphia from to lists william allen as grand master on june it is probable that coxe had appointed allen as grand master for pennsylvania since his deputation gave him lodge for pennsylvania after his election in william allen appointed william pringle deputy grand master and thomas boude and benjamin franklin wardens benjamin franklin would become grand master in the same year he published anderson s constitutions the first masonic book printed in americaand again in the organization of the provincial grand lodge of pennsylvania was recorded in both liber b and the pennsylvania gazette which published the names of the sixteen grand masters who served from to william allen was provincial grand master eight times no reports were sent from the provincial grand lodge of moderns to the grand lodge of england nor were any requested being independent it apparently had no need to do so yet the provincial grand lodge of pennsylvania affiliated itself with the grand lodge of england in that it approved and adopted those ritual changes made by the gle after by september some brethren of the provincial grand lodge feeling that their somewhat selfconstituted grand lodge lacked the authority authorities in london for the appointment of a provincial grand master of pennsylvania the grand master of england moderns william lord baron of rochdale in the county of lancaster appointed william allen who had been grand master in pennsylvania in at a meeting of the grand lodge march william allen presented his deputation as provincial grand master of pennsylvania and assumed that office the action taken on that date marks the end of the independent grand lodge of pennsylvania and its inception as a provincial grand lodge affiliated with and deriving its authority from the grand lodge of england moderns the grand lodge was composed of three philadelphia lodges st johns no and no provincial grand masters at boston on april henry price of boston was appointed provincial grand master of new england by the viscount montagu grand master of the moderns grand lodge in london clearly this appointment would not have included pennsylvania except for price s repeated ordered him to extend freemasonry over all north america price held this office until december when he was succeeded by robert tomlinson also of boston who held the office until his death in tomlinson was succeeded by thomas oxnard who was deputized provincial grand master for north america on sept he remained in office until his death in whether price s office gave him jurisdiction over pennsylvania masonry has always been disputed but the question became moot for a brief period with oxnard s appointment over all of north america historians who argue in favor of boston s primacy over philadelphia also point to an appointment of benjamin franklin as provincial grand master for pennsylvania on july however provincial grand masters had no authority to appoint other provincial grand masters and franklin s appointment was void this was acknowledged by franklin the following year when the grand master appointed william allen provincial grand master for pennsylvania the demise of the moderns in pennsylvania the freemasonry of the moderns during the latter half of the th century by the rise of the ancients grand lodge and its lodges the american revolutionary war took a great toll on pennsylvania freemasonry and especially the moderns lodges by the end of the revolution nearly all the lodges in pennsylvania were of the ancients strain it is impossible to determine precisely when the moderns provincial grand lodge finally demised but it was gone by the masonic hall built by the moderns in was sold and the proceeds were placed in a charitable trust and became the freemason s fuel fund the rise of the ancients the ancient provincial grand lodge of pennsylvania on july the ancient grand lodge of england issued a warrant for a provincial grand lodge of pennsylvania which appeared as lodge no on the grand lodge roster three years before the ancient grand lodge had issued a warrant for lodge no to a lodge in philadelphia later lodge no of the grand lodge of pennsylvania a lodge in north america by that grand lodge the grand lodge is formed by pennsylvania freemasonry was entirely ancient the moderns having become extinct in that state on september the ancient provincial grand lodge of pennsylvania declared itself to be independent of the mother grand lodge and closed itself permanently the following day september the representatives of ancient lodges met together and formed the present grand lodge headquartered in philadelphia as a result the grand lodge of pennsylvania is entirely of the ancients tradition and is not an amalgam or a union of the two traditions its sole ancestor grand lodge is that of the ancients grand lodge of england founded in and does not descend from the moderns grand lodge of since its inception the grand lodge of pennsylvania has moved its headquarters from building to building over the last two centuries and on one occasion even conducted their meetings in independence hall charitable endeavors the support five charitable entities that offer a range of services the masonic temple library and museum the headquarters of the grand lodge is in the masonic temple at one north broad street directly across from philadelphia city hall built in it is a national historic landmark renowned for its beauty architectural mastery and historical significance the library contains one of the finest collections for the study of american history and freemasonry and the museum displays more than treasured artifacts the masonic villages of pennsylvania comprising five continuing care retirement communities across pennsylvania providing a wide range of care and services the masonic villages are committed to caring for residents regardless of their ability to pay the communities extend quality healthcare and outreach services to numerous others through home and communitybased services the masonic children s home the masonic children s home is just that a home for children who come from various socioeconomic environments that do not provide the security and support necessary for healthy growth and development academic tutoring and opportunities to participate in worship and extracurricular activities of their choosing the pennsylvania masonic youth foundation

 the toccata in d minor op is a piece for solo piano written by sergei prokofiev in and debuted by the composer on december in petrograd it is a further development of the toccata form which has been used by composers such as johann sebastian bach and robert schumann other composers of wellknown toccatas include maurice ravel dmitri kabalevsky and aram khachaturian prokofiev s toccata starts off with a persistent repetition of the note d interchanged between the right hand which plays the single note and the left hand which plays the same note but with the lower octave as well after a brief development there are chromatic leaps in the left hand while the right hand plays a repeated figuration the two hands soon switch positions although the leaps still continue for a while a series of split chromatic thirds leads upwards until a descending melody in a with chromatic third accompaniments begins with the left hand traveling in contrary motion upwards before a very short pause both hands soon play a weaving series of the right hand s repeated figuration from the start before the split chromatic thirds pattern reappears this leads more violently to the descending melody pattern but this time in d before the d repetition theme reappears this time in alternating octaves in both hands the toccata slows down and halts temporarily before a chromatic rising scale leads to octave exhortations followed by a glissando sweep up the keyboard to end on the top d this particular piece is an extremely difficult showpiece that is very popular with virtuoso pianists and has been recorded by many according to the biography of the composer by david gutman prokofiev himself had trouble playing it because his technique while good was not quite enough to master the piece however this fact is not universally accepted and his performance as reproduced in for the nimbus records series the composer plays is certainly virtuosic additionally none of the leading biographies of prokofiev those written by mention any technical problems with the piano past his childhood born poor performance techniques which were later rectified through years of study after his graduation from the st petersburg conservatory 
 bulgarian grammar is the body of rules that describe the structure of expressions in the bulgarian language the language is a south slavic language that historically evolved from the old bulgarian languagealso known as old slavonic language which was the written norm for the slavic languages in the middle agesand before that from the protoslavic language bulgarian is also a part of the balkan language area which also includes greek macedonian romanian albanian and the torlakian dialect of the serbian language as such it shares several grammatical innovations with the other southwest balkan languages that set it apart from other slavic languages these include a sharp reduction in noun inflections most bulgarian nouns and adjectives are inflected for number and gender but have lost noun cases bulgarian also has a suffixed definite article while most other slavic languages have no definite article at all bulgarian has also lost the verb infinitive while otherwise preserving most of the complexities of the old bulgarian verb conjugation system and has further developed the protoslavic verb and doubtful irrealis actions nouns bulgarian nouns have the categories grammatical gender number case only vocative and definiteness a noun has one of three specific grammatical genders masculine feminine neuter and two numbers singular and plural with cardinal numbers and some adverbs masculine nouns use a separate count form sup see below sup the plural is formed by adding to or replacing the singular ending most commonly in the following ways definiteness is expressed by a definite article which is postfixed to the noun when the two are combined the plural ending comes first bulgarian case system bulgarian derives a system of six cases but only three the accusative dative and nominative and only in personal and interrogative pronouns remain intact from old bulgarian while bulgarian has lost most of its declensions many remnants of the old more complex case system do still exist these remnants make up the to their rarity however they are no longer seen as case endings but are rather considered to be part of some completely different phenomenon such as being a subcategory of the definite article or of the plural as with the genitive below apart from only appearing in pronouns the accusative and the dative have mostly merged as an oblique case the two cases are preserved in the personal pronouns but only in their short forms eg me me mi to me ya her i to her while the dative case has a long form it is archaic and instead accusative constructions with the word na to are usually used also they appear in the masculine of some key words such as the interrogative pronoun koy who and its derivatives and in some other related words vsekigo acc vsekimu dat this usage is becoming ever rarer especially in the spoken language the genitive is preserved in the masculine singular however it is not used exclusively in genitive constructions any more instead it has become the incomplete definite article suffix nepulen chlen used with all definite masculine nouns which are the object of a sentence stol a chair stol at the chair subject pod stol a under the chair object the vocative for family members eg maika maiko mother for masculine names eg petar petre in social descriptors eg priatel yu friend uchitel yu teacher the instrumental noshtem during the night from nosht sbogom farewell lit with god from s bog or begom while running from byagam to run remnant of the dual see also language and nouns articles in bulgarian the numerical plural form broyna mnozhestvena forma is a remnant of the grammatical dual number which disappeared from the language in the middle ages the modern numerical form is used in the masculine whenever there is a precise amount of something regardless of the actual number eg stol chair mnogo stol ove many chairs general plural dva stol a deset stol a two chairsten chairs numerical plural adjectives a bulgarian adjective agrees in gender and is put usually before it the comparative and the superlative form are formed analytically pronouns bulgarian pronouns vary in gender number definiteness and case the distinguishable types of pronouns include the following personal possessive interrogative demonstrative reflexive summative negative indefinite and relative verbs bulgarian verbs are the most complicated part of bulgarian grammar they are inflected for person number and sometimes gender they also have lexical aspect perfective and imperfective voice nine tenses five moods and six nonfinite verbal forms bulgarian verbs are divided into three conjugations voice the voice in bulgarian adjectives is presented by the ending on the past participle the auxiliary remains to be active udar il sum i have hit passive udar en sum i have been hit mood mood in bulgarian is expressed not through che and da which both translate as the relative pronoun that the verbs remain unchanged thus indicative eg znam che si tuk i know that you are here subjunctive eg iskam da si tuk i want that you are here i want you to be here the inferential is formed in exactly the same way as the perfect but with the omission of the auxiliary perfect toy e bil he has been inferential toy bil he reportedly was the imperative has its own conjugation usually by adding or i or ay to the root of the verb eg sit sedna sedni perfective negative instructions either ne syaday or nedey da syadash do nt sit down see section on intentional particles word order although bulgarian has almost no noun cases its word order is rather free it is even freer than the word order of some languages that have cases for example german this is due to the agreement between the subject and the verb of a sentence so in bulgarian the sentence i saw lubomir can be expressed thus sawpsg lyubomir lyubomir him sawpsg it is clear that the subject is i it has been dropped because the verb is in the first person singular other examples ivan greeted the girls ivan greetedpsg girlsthe girlsthe them greetedpsg ivan ivan girlsthe greetedpsg girlsthe ivan them greetedpsg them girlsthe ivan theoretically all permutations are possible but the last one sounds rather odd the girls greeted ivan girlsthe greetedppl ivan ivan him greetedppl girlsthe girlsthe ivan greetedppl ivan girlsthe him greetedppl greetedppl girlsthe ivan greetedppl him ivan girlsthe the clitic doubling is obligatory only when the subject and the object are both in third person and they are either both singular or both plural but when the meaning is clear from the context it can be omitted examples ivan him greetedpsg maria maria greeted ivan maria her greetedpsg ivan ivan greeted maria but rolesthe soundscreenedppl artiststhe the artists their names soundscreened the roles they made the soundtrack for the film in the compound tenses when a participle is used and when the subject and the object

ivan ivan has greeted maria the above two examples sound a bit odd without the doubling unless it is a case of topicalization and special stress is put on the first word other numbers in bulgarian the numbers and take gender furthermore numbers take special endings when referring to men and and add ma eg chairs dva stola brothers dva ma bratya referring to a roundabout number and rarely add ina eg

 repetition is an book by sren kierkegaard and published under the pseudonym constantin constantius to mirror its titular theme constantin investigates whether repetition is possible and the book includes his experiments and his relation to a nameless patient known only as the young man the young man has fallen in love with a girl proposed marriage the proposal has been accepted but now he has changed his mind constantin becomes the young man s confidant coincidentally the problem that the young man had is the same problem kierkegaard had with regine olsen he had proposed to her she had accepted but he had changed his mind kierkegaard was accused of experimenting with the affections of his fiance charles k bellinger says eitheror fear and trembling and repetition are works of fiction novelistic in character they focus on the boundaries between different spheres of existence such as the aesthetic and the ethical on the subject of marriage they can be traced back to kierkegaard s relationship with regine there is much in this work that is autobiographical in nature how much is left up to the reader kierkegaard explores the conscious choices this young man makes kierkegaard published fear and trembling three upbuilding discourses and repetition all on the same date october abraham was the main character in fear and trembling and the three upbuilding discourses were about love repetition presents a noticeable contrast between the other two books that is almost comical he takes up the idea of repetition again in his work the concept of anxiety where he explores the concepts of sin and guilt more directly structure part one report by constantin constantius part two repetition letters from incidental observations by constantin constantius letter from the young man may concluding letter by constantin constanius copenhagen august report by constantin constantius constantin believes that repetition and recollection are the same movement except in opposite directions for what is recollected has been is repeated backward an individual can remember some past event or emotional experience with intensity that individual might try to repeat pleasure continuously and eternalize the pleasure in the temporal this is what constantin is trying to accomplish he hopes that repetition will become a new philosophical category that it will trump hegel and explain the relation between the eleatics and heraclitus mediation is a foreign word repetition is a good danish word according to him he reports that he has met a melancholic young man and has decided to become his confidant he says an observer fulfills his duties well he is to be regarded as a secret agent in a what is hidden during his conversation with the young man he comes to understand that he is in love but he talks about his love as though it were just a memory he says the young man was deeply and fervently in love that was clear and yet a few days later he was able to recollect his love he was essentially through with the entire relationship his observations lead him to conclude that the young man really is nt in love but that the girl he never calls her a woman is the occasion that awakened the poetic in him and made him a poet he calls him the sorrowful knight of recollections only happy love he has had his first love but that s not anywhere near the experience of marriage kierkegaard says the following in eitheror the question namely is this can this love be actualized after having conceded everything up to this point you perhaps will say well it is just as difficult that i must respond no for in marriage there is a law of motion infatuation constantin the aesthetic schemer tells the young man he should become a deceiver he says be inconstant nonsensical do one thing one day and another the next but without passion emotion he then goes to berlin because he had been there once before and he wants to see if he can repeat the same experience he had the first time he goes to the same place he stayed on his first journey and finds that his landlord is now married the landlord went on to prove the esthetic validity of marriage he succeeded marvelously just as well as he had the last time in proving the perfection of bachelorhood he tries to find repetition at the theater but it eludes him he tries the coffee shop and finally says i had discovered that there simply is no repetition and had verified it by having it repeated in every possible way stuart dalton from the as a comedy and there is humor in much of the book repetition constantin is still pursuing repetition now he s seeking a sameness that has a far more anesthetic power than the most whimsical amusements when he gets a letter from the young man demanding that he keep unbroken silence about the whole affair he was speaking to him about and that he will not be seeing him anymore he will correspond by mail only constantin says this then is the thanks one gets for having trained oneself every day for years to have only an job for help and will write his reports to constantin letters from the young man august may two years after the death of his father in the year sren kierkegaard entered into an engagement of marriage with a young girl living in copenhagen whose name was regine olsen however he was very soon brought to the insight that no marriage was possible for him he sought to break the engagement but a passionate outburst in which she begged him not to leave her moved profoundly by the ardor of her love he sought to emancipate her and himself through the adoption of a very involved and curious method journal entries seem to indicate that kierkegaard was wary of marriage as early as and that he had a definite reason for breaking off the engagement did he use the method endorsed by constantin and become a deceiver the letters from the young man are either written in relation to regine or they are a passionate cry for freedom he wanted to find a truth to live and die for the letters describe his inner struggle against the social norms of his time must he keep his pledge because the social order demands that he does it first he blames his psychologist but he still needs him existential philosophy calls this ressentiment then he blames the girl then he appeals to job then he questions his own existence and the concept of guilt existential philosophers call this an existential developing philosophy of sren toolong his question is never what is love but how do i know i m in love how do you know you re in love too many people want to read about love in order to find out what love is kierkegaard says one must act not just think about acting his letter dated january states he is now married and doing his best to be a husband contrasting abraham in fear and trembling with the young man creates an excellent comedy when taken together abraham was nt anxious about the social order he just followed god but the young man is overflowing with anxiety about what his friends will say about him and he followed job kierkegaard wrote in fear and trembling it would be altogether desirable if esthetics would sometime attempt to begin where for so many years it has endedin the illusion of magnanimity as soon as it did this it would be working hand in hand with the religious esthetic from its battle with the ethical kierkegaard says i perceived that he was a poetif for no other reason i saw it in the fact that a situation that would have been taken easily in stride by a lesser mortal expanded into a world event for him on december kierkegaard published his four upbuilding discourses he explains this young man s relation to job in the following way in tempestuous times when the foundation of existence is tottering when the moment shivers in anxious expectancy of what may come when every explanation falls silent at the spectacle of the wild tumult when a persons innermost being groans in despair and in bitterness of soul cries to heaven then job still walks along at the generations side and guarantees that there is a victory guarantees that even if the single individual loses in the struggle there is still a god who just as he proportions every temptation humanly even though the person did not withstand the temptation bear it yes even more gloriously than any human expectancy only the defiant person could wish that job did not exist that he could completely divest his soul of the last love still present in the wail of despair that he could whine about life indeed curse life in such a way that there would not be even an echo of faith and trust and humility in his words that in his defiance he could stifle the scream in order not to create the impression that there was anyone whom it provoked only a soft person could wish that job did not exist that he could instead leave off thinking the sooner the better could give up all movement in the most disgusting powerlessness could blot himself out in the most wretched and miserable forgetfulness eighteen upbuilding discourses four upbuilding discourses the lord gave and the lord took away blessed be the name of the lord job p incidental observations still thinks about the young man and the girl as far as he s concerned the young man is a poet he says a poet seems to be born to be a fool for the girls if a girl made a fool of him to his face he would think of it generous of her the young man writes once more on may to let constantin know that the girl is married kierkegaardthe young man says i belong to the idea when it beckons me i will follow when it makes an appointment i wait for it day and night no one calls me to dinner no one expects me for supper when the idea calls i abandon everything or more correctly i have nothing to abandon i defraud no one i sadden no one by being loyal to it my spirit is not saddened by my having to make another sad when i come home no one reads my face no my being an explanation that not even i myself can give to another whether i am beatific in joy or dejected in desolation whether i have won life or lost it repetition p kierkegaard as well as the other two characters in the story belong to the idea of what a marriage is but not to the actuality of a real marriage kierkegaard calls the young man s behaviour criminal concluding letter by constantin constanius copenhagen august constantin addresses his readers he says criticism the encyclopedia of religion and ethics had a short article about sren kierkegaard they wrote in gjentagelsen repetition october kierkegaard sketches an abortive transition to the religious sphere repetition is one of his characteristic ideas it signifies persistence in and faithfulness to a chosen course of life and is thus opposed to the esthetic standpoint with constancy only in change but kierkegaard resumption gjentagelse taking again implying that each higher stage of life carries with it the lower in a transfigured form gjentagelsen tells of a young man who seeks to pass from the esthetic to the religious sphere but for want of a true penitence becomes merely a romanticist ie he simply resumes his old self and his case is contrasted with that of job who humbled himself utterly before god and at last regained all that he had lost and morethe true repetition lev shestov was a philosopher who wondered how russia had missed kierkegaard he understood repetition in the following way here is how kierkegaard tells of this in his repetition the greatness of job is therefore not that he said the lord hath given the lord hath taken away blessed be the name of the lord what he indeed said at first and did not later repeat the greatness of job lies in the fact in him by any false expression job demonstrates the compass of his world view through the firmness with which he knows how to eschew all crafty ethical evasions and cunning wiles everything that kierkegaard says of job can also be said of himself and here is the closing passage in which kierkegaard says job is blessed and received everything back again double this is what people call a repetition thus there is a repetition when does it come when did it come for job when all conceivable human certainty and probability was on the side of impossibility and according to kierkegaard s deep conviction this repetition will obtain a very important role in the newer philosophy for the new philosophy will teach that all of life is a repetition kierkegaard as a religious philosopher by lev shestov kierkegaard wrote what kind of power is it that wants to deprive me of my honor and my pride and do it in such a meaningless way am i even if i do nothing or have i perhaps gone mad then the best thing to do would be to lock me up for people cravenly fear particularly the utterances of the insane and the dying what does it mean mad what must i do to enjoy civic esteem to be regarded as sensible why does no one answer i offer a reasonable reward to anyone who invents a new world i have set forth the alternatives is there anyone so clever that he knows more than two but if he does not know more then it certainly is nonsense that i am mad unfaithful and a deceiver while the girl is faithful and reasonable and esteemed by the people repetition p he is always asking himself questions just as johann gottlieb fichte had done in his book the destination of man also called the vocation of man where he wrote against the easy answer for every not intended for philosophers by profession who will find in it nothing that may not be found in other writings of the same author it is intended to be intelligible to all readers who are able really to understand a book at all those who have accustomed themselves merely to the repetition of certain sets of phrases in varied order and who mistake this operation of memory for that of the understanding will probably find it unintelligible it ought to exercise on the reader an attractive and animating power raising him from the sensuous world to that which is above sense the author at least has not performed his task without some of this happy inspiration kierkegaard was influential in martin buber s philosophy and martin heidegger s development of the new philosophical category dasein rollo may wrote an excellent history of existentialism from the psychological point of view he said kierkegaard was very concerned about his relationship with god c stephen evans says that kierkegaard regarded himself as a psychologist three of repetition and the sickness unto death are designated as psychological by their subtitles and he frequently called himself a psychologist in his journal imagine a nave christian who knows nothing about psychology as a sciencelets call him kirkengaged in conversation with a knowledgeable psychologistdr john dr john tells kirk that psychology models itself after the natural sciences and attempts to gain a scientific understanding of human behavior and mental processes kirk asks dr john what psychologists think about god and gods relationship to human beings dr john replies that individual psychologists have different beliefs about god he himself is a christian he tells kirk and of course for him any ultimate understanding of human beings requires a theological perspective too but he hastens to add his personal religious beliefs do not enter into psychology as a scientific discipline because science restricts itself to the natural realm which can be studied by empirical methods dr johns answer leaves kirk dissatisfied he has science may have to limit itself to the empirically observable but he questions the value or even the truthfulness of the knowledge gained by such a science after all he thinks isnt the most important thing about human beings their relationship to god can anyone hope to understand them without understanding them in this light sren kierkegaard s christian psychology insight for counseling and pastoral care by c stephen evans kierkegaard as a psychologist p clare carlisle described the internal and external struggle that every existing individual has to go through the struggle between philosophy and existence often a struggle internal to the individual especially to the intellectual and perhaps academic individual who is this texts likely reader is essential to kierkegaards dramatization of his conflict with hegel throughout kierkegaards pseudonymous authorship the abstract thinker the pitiful professorial figure is criticized from the perspective of the existing individual challenging the hegelian view that the concept expresses the highest form of truth texts against the truth as knowledge and suggest instead that truth must be grasped in terms of subjectivity or inwardness both constantin and the young man had the power to act as single individuals instead of trying to become world historically famous or worrying about the crowd but neither of them used the power they both just pursued the idea kierkegaard says of them later in the concept of anxiety kierkegaard discusses this power again in terms of the eternal his idea of the eternal is comparable to nietzsche s idea of eternal return only backwards niels nymann eriksen has written about kierkegaard s category of repetition this book explores the other and becoming as well as

 in science fiction the term quantum singularity is used to refer to many different phenomena which often approximately resemble a gravitational singularity in the scientific sense in that they are massive localized distortions of space and time the name invokes one of the most fundamental problems remaining in modern physics the difficulty in merging einstein s theory of relativity which includes singularities within its models of black holes and quantum mechanics in fact since singularities are infinitely small according to relativity they are expected to be quantum mechanical by their nature a theory of quantum gravity would be required to describe this behavior and no such theory has yet been completed on the other hand only one kind of singularity has ever been observed black holes and due to the mass dependent stable radius of the connected event horizon it is currently unknown if this kind of singularity actually approaches or even drops below scales relevant to quantum mechanics in star trek a quantum singularity is in the star trek voyager episode parallax the singularity creates a mirror image and a temporal distortion voyager flies into the singularity after seeing an image of itself inside to escape the crew uses a shuttle and fires a tachyon beam at an opening created upon entry in voyager episode hunters the voyager crew discover a hirogen relay station almost years old that is powered by a quantum singularity the word tiny is used to apparently describe the dimensions of the quantum singularity specifically it is stated to be about a centimeter in diameter making it in fact ironically and paradoxically enormous although it is possible that the diameter stated could refer instead to the singularity s event horizon in episode scorpion species and the borg make use of quantum singularities to travel to and from fluidic space artificial quantum singularities are also used to power romulan warbirds as first described in the star trek the next generation episode timescape additionally in the star trek deep space nine episode visionary to shift through time in futurama in the episode of futurama love and rocket the term quantum singularity is used after bender breaksup with the planet express ship whom he only dated during this episode the ship takes the breakup pretty hard and then threatens to fly into a giant quasar thus the power of billion black holes will smush me and bender together into a beautiful eternal quantum singularity bender gets the crew out of the situation by professing his love for the ship albeit sarcastically which distracts it long enough for fry and leela to disable the ship s logical processes and restore life support systems in megas xlr in the episode battle royale the villain magnanimous threatens to drop kiva and jamie into a quantum singularity which he says is like a black hole only portable and with a cooler name in farscape in the episode back and back and back to the future a scientist belonging to the ilanic race develops a quantum singularity it was described essentially as a portable black hole in stargate sg supergate a gigantic stargate designed to allow the passage of starships the supergate is made up of smaller pieces that are moved through a regular stargate once assembled a nearby planet is collapsed into a quantum singularity using a special force field in order to provide the massive power needed to open a wormhole to the ori galaxy samantha carter theorizes that the singularity allows a connection to be maintained indefinitely the first ori attempt to create a supergate in the milky way fails when vala mal doran inserts her teltak into the incomplete ring and prevents the segments from completely connecting the shockwave from the forming singularity then blasts the gate to oblivion a second supergate is later built successfully and allows a fleet of ori motherships into the milky way the sgc eventually blocks the supergate to the ori by opening a connection from a pegasus gate powered by a natural black hole in city of heroes in the pet power a gravity controller attains at level the singularity takes the form of a human sized ball of light surrounded by waves of coloured energy the singularity is portable and will follow its summoner around the singularity uses a variety of gravity based attacks references

 infobox aircraft begin infobox aircraft type the boeing a hummingbird military designation ymqa is an unmanned aerial vehicle uav helicopter its design incorporates many new technologies never before used in helicopters allowing for greater endurance and altitude than any helicopter currently in operation the development of hummingbird was begun by frontier aircraft in may the company was acquired by boeing and integrated into boeing phantom works and then into the advanced systems group of boeing integrated defense systems early as were powered by modified subaru automotive engines but newer versions use pratt amp whitney pwd turboshaft engines the a continued with developmental flight tests in but test flights have already demonstrated greater endurance higher altitudes more extensive autonomy and greater payload the program has ambitious goals of a mi range hour endurance and ft altitude flights are largely autonomous with the aircraft making its own decisions about how to fly itself so as to meet certain objectives rather than relying on the aircraft is ft m from nose to tail and has a rotor diameter of ft m design and development maverick and renegade uavs during the initial development of the a airframe and rotor system in frontier systems simultaneously designed the maverick vtol uav as a testbed for avionics software and flight control systems the maverick was a highly modified version of the robinson r light civilian helicopter by using a proven helicopter airframe engineers were able to focus on developing systems that could be later transferred to the a the maverick program began in and the first flight took place less than a year later in although the r is a twoseat manned helicopter in its original configuration the maverick was significant for never using a safety pilot a human pilot riding on board and capable of recovering the aircraft in the event of a failure of the unmanned flight control system even its very first flight was truly unmanned since much of the software maverick remained in service long after a began flight operations after acquiring frontier systems in boeing halted most development of maverick but it continued flying as a training asset and for reducing risk in technology development for the a four mavericks are flown by the us navy carrying wescam electroopticalinfrared sensor system possibly among other sensors since being acquired by the military most maverick operations have remained unpublicized march saw the completion of the software enabled control program sponsored by the defense advanced research projects agencydarpa with the help of researchers from uc berkeley mit and georgia tech boeing developed a variant of its maverick uav platform which became known as the renegade uav this aircraft successfully performed various maneuvers and flew routes without realtime human input a the development program for the a began when darpa awarded a month technology demonstration contract to san diegobased frontier systems in march in june frontier tested the autonomous flight control system with the mavericka was lost during an accident in after having flown for hours the first prototype a threebladed a demonstrated a brief hover on december and performed its first forward flight on january a fourblade version of the a flew in november using a subaru fourcylinder engine and later a sixcylinder piston engine frontier systems was awarded a contract for four more as in october a total of three vehicles were produced by frontier systems vehicles and were lost in crashes frontier began a planned kw diesel engine for the vehicle but never completed it a diesel engine would have nearly doubled the vehicle endurance due to lower fuel consumption frontier aircraft and then boeing have carried out the a program as part of a series of contracts with darpa the us army and the us navy from in september darpa awarded frontier a million contract for the design development and testing of four as in may corp a million contract for the ultra high frequency foliage penetrating realtime moving target indicatorsynthetic aperture radar for use in the a the a s rotor includes blades whose stiffness and crosssection vary along their length their low loading and rigid hingeless design allows for changing rpm between to using a twospeed transmission to optimize efficiency at different speeds and altitudes a technique called optimum speed rotor technology invented by abe karem it is primarily because of these features that the hummingbird can fly with less power and thus use less fuel than comparable conventional helicopters which only adjust blade pitch and keep the rotor at constant rpm in august frontier systems by then a boeing subsidiary received a million contract from the naval air warfare center aircraft division to assess the military utility and affordability of a longrange vtol uav employing a wide variety of adaptable payloads in october darpa awarded boeing a million contract to deliver an at aircraft and modified pod for the in darpa considered stub wings carrying weapons operational history flight testing the hummingbird made its first flight in january using a cylinder subaru engine on september the hummingbird made its first flight since boeing took over the program the previous may the test program has been operated from the southern california logistics airport near victorville california in august the hummingbird was flown around victorville in a mile course at knots and feet this was one of the longest helicopter flights a mechanical failure caused the helicopter to crash near the end of the flight flight testing continued some months later after the crash investigation was concluded on november the aircraft successfully completed its first flight with a new kw hp cylinder gasolinepowered piston engine hovering about the airfield for about half an hour a followup turboshaftpowered version the at was first flown on june the at was flown for the aircraft flew for hours while carrying a pound payload simulating a multisensor military recon mission on october this latter flight used up less than of the hummingbird s maximum fuel load on december one of the at prototypes crashed during a flight test at boeing advanced systems test facility in victorville a boeing investigation determined the incident was caused when sensor data stopped being updated to the flight computer with the feedback loop for the control system effectively cut the helicopter departed controlled flight and impacted the ground at a nearvertical angle much of the forensic evidence was burned in the postcrash fire a number of potential areas that could have caused the software feedback update thread to stop were found and those known problem areas have been addressed flight testing resumed on march on may at yuma proving ground in arizona the at demonstrated its ability to hover out of ground effect hoge at feet to during the same flight by repeating the hoge at feet altitude a week later starting the night of may the at demonstrated its unrefueled endurance capabilities with an hour flight landing with over minutes of fuel still on board it was the longest unrefueled flight of any rotorcraft and the fdration aronautique internationale fai awarded boeing the official endurance record in the kg to kg autonomously controlled uav class for the flight in august the at began flight testing the darpa forester radar system in august the at was chosen by the us marine corps along with the kaman kmax to demonstrate the ability to move lb kg of cargo in less than hours for three consecutive days the at successfully completed the resupply demonstration in early march in december navair awarded a million contract to boeing for two ats and control systems kaman received a similar contract worth m navair issued a stopwork order on the a in kmax was eventually chosen over the at for the unmanned resupply role by the marines and was sent to afghanistan in on july an at crashed at southern california logistics airport it autorotated to the ground then rolled on its side in august the at underwent jungle test flights in belize for the us special operations command two airframes were involved with the tests which were to test the ability of darpa forester foliagepenetrating radar to penetrate jungle cover the tests were stopped one week early when one aircraft crashed on september at the central farm airfield in cayo belize the special operations command was turning over its as to the army in us army cancellation the a was to be deployed to afghanistan with the argusis radar in june but just before deployment the army issued a stopwork order to boeing because the aircraft had a high probability of continued technical and schedule delays and costs and risks had increased so significantly that program continuation was vibration was among the issues the stopwork order left the a still officially developmental but close to termination by december the army training and doctrine command had reviewed the army s idea for a vertical takeoff and landing helicopter uav for isr missions and decided that because of budget constraints they would not continue to pursue the idea they decided that the army would have to keep using the fixedwing uavs they already had for the role specifications

 uchidenokozuchi is a legendary japanese magic hammer this treasure is also rendered into english as magic wishing mallet the mallet of fortune etc in popular belief magic wooden hammer is a standard item held in the hand of the iconic deity daikokuten who is often represented as figurines statues netsukes and in architecture it is also a stock item in popular tales in issunbshi oneinch boy the hero gains the mallet defeating an ogre oni and amass wealth while in modern embelishments he even transforms himself into full adultsize in momotar peach boy the mallet is captured from the ogres in onigashima alongside the kakure mino raincoat of invisibility and kakurekasa hat of invisibility ref renders the others as the magical cloak the cap of invisibility which is redundant perhaps for the latter cap the notion that ogres which are part of the otogizshi collection from the muromachi period it can be traced at as far back as the tale of heike ca or if the instance of use in the work has any historicity datable to before ca in folkloristics the uchide no kozuchi is catalogued in the stith thompson motif index scheme under magic hammer d issun bshi in the legend the oneinch tall issunboshi after leaving his parent s home comes under the employ of a wealthy daimyo whose daughter is an attractive princess although scorned for his height he is given the job of accompanying the princess while traveling together they are attacked by an oni who deals with pesky issunboshi by swallowing him he defeats the oni by pricking him from within with his needlesword the oni spits out issunboshi and drops the uchidenokozuchi as he runs away in the otogizshi he then shakes out opulent in the betterknown modernized versions the princess uses the power of the mallet to grow him to full size at the end of the story issunbshi and the princess are married history etymology the word uchi de no kozuchi literally translates to strikingout little hammer or hammer that strikes anything out that is desired in plainer speech it is understood that the hammer is to be shaken or swung early usage according to the hbutsush ja the mallet is a wonderful treasure such that when one goes out into a wide open field it can be used to tap out a mansion amusing men and women useful servants horse and cattle food and articles of clothing however all the items wished for reputed disappear at the sound of the bell tolling hence the necessity of using it in a vacant field and the moral of this buddhist sermontype tale setsuwa is that of heike is an anecdote whereby a strangely outfitted person moving about in the night is mistaken for an ogre oni and his kindling wood mistaken for the uchide no kozuchi attesting to the belief even then that this was a treasure reputedly owned by the ogres the anecdote occurs in scroll of heike under the chapter on lady gion one night near gion shrine a figure is witnessed seemingly with hair like a bed of silver needles and something glowing in his hand which people feared to be an ogre carrying the uchide no kozuchi for which these demonkind beings are famous the imperial guardsman tadamori was ordered to investigate and he discovered it was just a priest trying to illuminate a light in the chapel the priest had put straws in his head to prevent getting damp the same anecdote also occurs in the genpei jsuiki which states that the priest was blowing on the embers and when he did the straws on his head would illuminate and appear like silver needles if this was a historical event it happened sometime before or around the time when kiyomori born was conceived by the lady nyogo who was then mistress to retired emperor shirakawa and kiyomori s putative father tadamori being the guardsman sent on the onihunt but the tale is likely a fable about kiyomori s royal parentage it has been observed that the treasures of the oni in the later tale of momotar incorporated this older lore about treasures the ogres possessed it has been observed that the same set of treasures as momotar s oni or practically so are described in the tale of hgen regarding minamoto no tametomo traveling to onigashima island tametomo discovers that the islanders claimed to be descendants of oni and named their nowlost treasures as the cloak of invisibility the hat of invisibility floating shoes sinking shoes and sword in some texts and in older uchide no kutsu shoes of wishing a likely scribal error for uchide no kozuchi according to scholars popular culture the hammer called the midge mallet is used in the video game secret of mana to make playable characters smaller or to grow back to normal size in the video game kami there is a character called issun who is loosely based on issunboshi who follows the main character along with issun the uchide s mallet referred to as the lucky mallet in the english localization also appears in the game although it is used to shrink the protagonist a wolf avatar of the shinto sun goddess okami amaterasu instead to issun s size rather than the other way around granting one access to otherwise inaccessible areas after obtaining it from the sunken ship the mallet is shown to have a will of its own as it flies away up to it they discover that the mallet was not trying to run away but instead was helping them in locating the source of a poisonous mist which has been causing problems for amaterasu and issun and its shrinking power helps them sneak into the imperial palace eventually allowing them to enter the emperor s body and defeat the boss blight source of the poison mist in the video game the world ends with you is one of several secret items that can be found by the player after beating the game it is an accessory that increases the amount of experience the wearer gets unlike the legend it has no effect on the characters size in the game and is simply just another accessory which is reference to the japanese legend its ingame description is the miniature golden hammer of muromachiperiod legends that lets you change your height at will perfect for short folks referencing the legend random npcs also makes a reference to the legendary hammer item is lucky mallet in the anime series folktales from japan the mallet appears twice in the series first in the nd and later in rd episode of the series both appears are in the segment named little one inch some maneki neko figures also appear with the uchide no kozuchi in the right hand evoking daikokuten the hammer is a recurring item in early final fantasy games and is used to cure the user of the status effect small in the th touhou game double dealing character the final boss named sukuna shinmyoumaru is both based on and claims to be a descendant of issunboshi she is holding a needle a bowl for a hat and the uchide s mallet which is responsible for much of the game s plot 
 the frame of government of pennsylvania was a constitution for the province of pennsylvania a proprietary colony granted to william penn by charles ii of england the frame of government has lasting historical importance as an important step in the development of american and world democracy background william penn as an english quaker sought to construct a new type of society with religious toleration and a great deal of political freedom it is believed that penns political philosophy is embodied in the west new jersey concessions and agreements of which is an earlier practical experience of government constitution prior to the establishment of pennsylvania although his authorship of the concession is questioned it is believed that he gave his full consent to it as the trustee of that colony in the concession all legislative power was granted to an assembly selected by the inhabitants freeholders and proprietors of the colony a commission was to be appointed by the assembly as its executive the government structure in west new jersey demonstrated the enlightened constitutional influence of republican political theory and humanism the first version of the frame of government of pennsylvania now known as the frame of incorporated a few pioneering ideas which were later developed into important elements of modern constitutionalism it required capital punishment to be applied to a strictly limited scope of criminal offenses only including murder and treason freedom of worship in the colony was to be absolute the assembly could bring a request of impeachment of the governor before the council for its trial unconstitutional laws should be invalidated although it did not specifically grant courts the power to declare the unconstitutionality it included an amendment process where sixsevenths of the legislature and the governor had to approve any change however the government structure speculated by the frame of was far less liberal than that in west new jersey concessions and agreements of the frame of the frame of constituted a parliament consisting of two houses the upper house or the council consisted of members who in the colony and had the exclusive power to propose legislation they were also authorized to nominate all officers in church and state and supervise financial and military affairs through committees the lower house or the assembly consisted of smaller landowners it had no power to initiate legislation but could accept or reject the councils legislative proposal only the twohouse parliament assists the governor with his executive functions commentators believe that the frame of was significantly influenced by penns supporters primarily the earliest landholders in the colony little direct evidence suggested that they imposed a pressure upon the government constitution process however it is believed that the earliest settlors who heavily invested in pennsylvania demanded a voice in constructing the framework of government william markham a trusted deputy executive of penn in the colony for many years commented i knew very well the frame of government was forced upon him by friends who unless they received all that they demanded would not settle the country this partly to accommodate the demands of the settlors one of the most controversial provisions in the frame of was if the governor should be allowed a veto to legislation presented by the parliament to attract colonists penn had at first reserved himself only a single vote in the council and no power to reject legislation passed by the assembly however the frame of in its final form granted the proprietor a greater power he was allowed a treble vote in the council and a veto in the legislative process in december an assembly of men was convened to ratify the frame of although leading quakers secured their places in the assembly their proposal to establish a proprietary government was adamantly opposed by the nonquakers in the assembly including representatives from the lower counties which had been under the light control of the deputy governors appointed by duke of york in particular they rejected the monopoly of the council in initiating legislation and requested a more powerful assembly as a result frame of an assembly convened in to model a new frame of government in place of the rejected frame of the tension which resulted in the rejection of the frame of remained although leading quakers dominated the council half of the seats in the assembly were occupied by nonquakers from the lower counties who were steadfastly against the concentration of power to quaker elites the proprietors voting power in legislative process remained one of the major concerns in framing the government as provided in the colonial charter granted by the king laws were to be made by the proprietor thus it would be a violation to the charter if the proprietor did not possess a veto power in legislation over lengthy debate penn managed to convince the assembly that the proprietors veto power was necessary but guaranteed that he would exercise the power only with the councils advice and consent once again the assembly sought to enlarge its role and insisted that it be granted to power to initiate legislation as it demanded was regarded as unacceptable to both the proprietor and the council they conceded that the assembly be allowed to confer with the council before passing a law a compromised frame of government or the frame of was eventually approved by the assembly it provided that all laws should be passed by the governor and the freemen in council and assembly met and granted the governor a right to approve or veto however the proprietary governance speculated by the frame of did not function effectively after penn returned to england in he relied on the council to act as governor collectively in the first few years during his absence however the council neglected penns constitutional authority and promulgated laws without obtaining approval from penn or the king penn subsequently appointed five commissioners to replace the council as his deputy executive having granted any three of the commissioners a power to enact annul or vary laws as if i myself were there he instructed the commissioners to annul the laws passed without his approval in penn appointed john blackwell to replace the five commissioners as a single executive as an aggressive puritan governor blackwell clashed with the quakers assembly immediately after he was appointed the disorder in pennsylvania and william iiis increasing distrust in penn led to the suspension of penns charter as the colonial proprietor in the frame of markhams frame penns charter was restored in presumably he intended his colonists to return to the frame of as one of the condition on which his charter was restored was that the colony should be under proprietary governance william markham the lieutenant governor commissioned by penn in ruled the colony imperialistically and acted aggressively towards the assembly however certain practical needs in the colony significantly changed the political structure and dramatically resulted in liberal governance in this period which was reflected in the frame of also known as markhams frame the assembly continued to make effort to further its power in s in march david lloyd there was no special virtue in returning to the frame of and proposed a charter granting the assembly a controlling role including the sole power to initiate legislation interestingly the council turned to support the shift of power from itself to the assembly in anticipation of a possible reestablishment of a royal government the quakers dominating the council understood that with penns charter under heavy attack by neighboring governors and english government officials the reestablishment of royal government was highly possible even probable in that situation the quakers found it necessary to invest the assembly with the widest possible powers in advance of such a change the council might be appointed by a royal governor and thus susceptible to a royal control however the assembly would always be elected outnumbering other factions including the anglicans the quakers believed that they would be able to dominate in the assembly thus even if the quakers lose their control over the council they could still operate from the assembly to defend against a royal control the lieutenant governor and a member of the church of england took it as an opportunity to urge the quakerdominated assembly to cooperate in appropriating fund for military preparations and promised that a discussion of constitutional revision would become possible if the military appropriation bill was passed by the assembly although having been committed to nonviolence and consciously objecting to participating in wars quakers compromised in this regard in exchanged for a more powerful assembly coupled with a bill raising a fund of for military use the assembly passed a new frame of government which is known as the frame of or markhams frame the new frame significantly changed the allocation of political power within the legislature by conferring upon the assembly the power to initiate legislation sit on its own adjournment and judge the qualifications of its members it also reduced the size of the legislature to a more manageable level each country elected only two representatives to the council and four to the assembly in addition it provided for more stringent voting requirements reside in the colony for two years before he could vote suggesting an attempt to diminish the strength of the evergrowing number of nonquaker immigrants newly arrived in the colony in rural areas where quakers had a dominant representation in the population the voting requirement was relaxed to include all freeholders with acres rather than acres as before in urban areas where the number of nonquakers was growing the voting requirement was tightened to exclude anyone without a estate free of debts the validity of the frame of was questionable as markham did not have a conceivable right to approve it it was never approved by penn either actually penn criticized it harshly however it functioned as the colonial constitution in practice for several years until penn returned to pennsylvania in the frame of the charter of privileges after his years absence penn returned to pennsylvania in and found the assembly resisting his proprietary authority his attempts to reinforce proprietary governance turned out to be autonomy prevailed among the quaker elite in on the eve that penn left pennsylvania to defend his colonial charter before the king in london the assembly presented him with a new draft of the frame of government which is subsequently known as the frame of or the charter of privileges the frame of further strengthened the controlling role of the assembly an elective council was not even mentioned in the legislative process and thus the assembly became the sole legislative authority meanwhile the assembly obtained several anglosaxon standard parliamentary privileges constitutionally for the first time the right to prepare legislative bills elect its own officers appoint committees sit on its own adjournment judge the qualifications of its own members and impeach officers of government the assembly was to be elected annually by freemen and composed of four representatives from each county the governor may appoint a council to assist with executive affairs the council does not have a role in the legislative process in addition the frame directed to ordinary courts of justice and thus neutralized the power of the board of propriety the center of proprietary land administration another significant concession in the frame of was that the lower counties or territories are permitted to establish their home rules in the territories took advantage of this provision and set up their own assembly although penn steadfastly refused to approve the frame of he yielded to the frame of which was different from the frame of only in details some writers regarded his concession as a sign of his losing control over the colony he admitted that he approved the frame of only because he saw a majority had been convinced by david lloyd that it was a form of government nearer to english methods which they called for so often also in anticipation of the possibility that his rights of government in the colony might be stripped of by the english parliament a more democratic governmental structure might provide the quakers in the colony with of remained the governing constitutional document in pennsylvania in the following seventyfive years until the revolution of characteristics the establishment of pennsylvania may be the most successful effort of quakers in colonizing in america penns close relationship with the crown significantly contributed to the success his ruling over pennsylvania was largely based on the royal charter which curbed his political experiment and led to a hierarchical governmental structure the compromise diluted the liberalism in the constitution of government which penn and his contemporary political thinks had been promoting however the human right provisions in the frame of government successfully reflected certain important values inherent in humanity thinking prevailing in the colony and quakerism and contributed to the development of constitutionalism in america legacy and reception the frame of government has been seen as a significant move towards democracy in america the political philosophy expounded in the preface to the frame of has often been cited and quoted voltaire applauded penn s efforts saying he might with reason boast of having brought probability never had any real existence but in his dominions the fiftieth anniversary of the frame of was celebrated with the making of the liberty bell references

extended range development the program started in when the dlgation gnrale pour larmement dga the french defense procurement agency launched an a contract was awarded to sagem for an initial lot of aasm gpsins bomb kits expected at the time to be delivered from and to enter service the following year validation a test campaign to validate in flight the main performances of this aasm variant started on december and ended on july while demonstrating excellent results this campaign showed the need to change some of the aerodynamic features of the weapon to compensate for delays in aasm deliveries in france ordered dualmode laser and gpsinsguided gbu enhanced paveway ii kits for integration with mirage d and rafale fighterbombers the gpsins iir guided version completed its qualification tests on july after three firings at the dga s missile test range in biscarosse this kg ir version performed a night launch from a rafale fighterbomber at dga s biscarosse test range in

time on june cost according to french senate s comit des prix de revient des fabrications darmement cpra cited by the daily la tribune the total cost of the aasm program including development costs and the delivery of kits is m on that basis the perweapon cost is or twelve times the cost of the comparable american jdam although the latter has been manufactured in much larger quantities kits and

reported the project had cost m usm with a unit cost of or including development costs variants aasm comes in several variants according to its size and the type of guidance used the current model features a kg bomb matched to containing a rocket booster and enlarged fins there is also a kg first tested in and a proposed kg version as for guidance the basic version combines data from a global positioning system gps receiver and an inertial navigation system ins unit through kalman filtering achieving a m circular error probability cep this decametric allweather variant is complemented by a metric daynight fair weather version which adds imaging infrared iir guidance that matches the target area with a target model stored in its memory for a m cep a third version uses semiactive laser homing instead of iir allowing it to hit moving targets with more precision it was qualified in april on october these versions were given alphanumeric designations with the insgps version becoming the sbu sbusmart bomb unit the insgpsiir version becoming the sbu and the insgpssalh version becoming the sbu the system as a whole was renamed hammer to make it more appealing to export customers was placed by the dga in for a total of units deliveries started in after a twoyear delay in development in a second order for units was placed by the end of that year deliveries had reached afghanistan

with the sumerians who developed the earliest writing systemknown as cuneiformaround bc the sumerians developed a form of astronomy that had an important influence on the sophisticated astronomy of the babylonians in mesopotamian mythology and religion began with the sumerians they also used a sexagesimal base placevalue number system which simplified the task of recording very great and very small numbers the modern practice of dividing a circle into degrees of minutes each hour began with the sumerians during the th and th centuries bce babylonian astronomers developed a new empirical approach to astronomy they began studying philosophy dealing with the ideal nature of the universe and began employing an internal logic within their predictive planetary systems this was an important contribution to astronomy and the philosophy of science and some scholars have thus referred to this new approach as the first scientific revolution this new approach to astronomy was adopted and further developed in greek and hellenistic astronomy classical greek and latin sources frequently use the term chaldeans for the astronomers of mesopotamia who were in reality priestscribes specializing in astrology and other forms of divination only fragments of babylonian astronomy have survived consisting largely of contemporary clay of babylonian planetary theory is in a fragmentary state nevertheless the surviving fragments show that according to the historian a aaboe babylonian astronomy was the first and highly successful attempt at giving a refined mathematical description of astronomical phenomena and that all subsequent varieties of scientific astronomy in the hellenistic world in india in islam and in the westif not indeed all subsequent endeavour in the exact sciencesdepend upon babylonian astronomy in decisive and fundamental ways old babylonian astronomy old babylonian astronomy refers to the astronomy that was practiced during and after the first babylonian dynasty ca bc and before the neobabylonian empire ca bc the babylonians were the first to recognize that astronomical phenomena are periodic and apply mathematics to their predictions tablets dating back to the old babylonian period document the application of mathematics to the variation in the length of daylight over a solar year centuries of babylonian observations of celestial phenomena are recorded in the series of cuneiform tablets known as the enma anu enlil is tablet of the enma anu enlil the venus tablet of ammisaduqa which lists the first and last visible risings of venus over a period of about years it is the earliest evidence that planetary phenomena were recognized as periodic the mulapin contains catalogues of stars and constellations as well as schemes for predicting heliacal risings and settings of the planets and lengths of daylight as measured by a water clock gnomon shadows and intercalations the babylonian gu text arranges stars in strings that lie along declination circles and thus measure rightascensions or time intervals and also employs the stars of the zenith which are also separated by given rightascensional differences there are dozens of cuneiform mesopotamian texts with real observations of eclipses mainly from babylonia planetary theory the babylonians were the first civilization known to possess a functional theory of the planets the oldest surviving planetary astronomical text is the babylonian venus tablet of ammisaduqa a thcentury bc copy of a list of observations of early as the second millennium bc this is largely due to the current fragmentary state of babylonian planetary theory and also due to babylonian astronomy being independent from cosmology at the time nevertheless traces of cosmology can be found in babylonian literature and mythology in babylonian cosmology the earth and the heavens were depicted as a spatial whole even one of round shape with references to the circumference of heaven and earth and the totality of heaven and earth their worldview was not exactly geocentric either the idea of geocentrism where the center of the earth is the exact center of the universe did not yet exist in babylonian cosmology but was established later by the greek philosopher aristotle s on the heavens in contrast babylonian cosmology suggested that the cosmos revolved around circularly with the heavens and the earth being equal and joined as a whole the babylonians and their predecessors the sumerians also believed in a plurality of heavens and earths this idea dates back to sumerian there being seven heavens and seven earths linked possibly chronologically to the creation by seven generations of gods neobabylonian astronomy neobabylonian astronomy refers to the astronomy developed by chaldean astronomers during the neobabylonian achaemenid seleucid and parthian periods of mesopotamian history a significant increase in the quality and frequency of babylonian observations appeared during the reign of nabonassar bc who founded the neobabylonian empire the systematic records of ominous phenomena in babylonian astronomical diaries that began at this time allowed for the discovery of a repeating year saros cycle of lunar eclipses for example the egyptian astronomer ptolemy later used nabonassar s reign to fix the beginning of an era since he felt that the earliest usable observations began at this time the last stages in the development of babylonian astronomy took place during the time of the seleucid empire bc in the rd century bc astronomers began to use goalyear texts to predict the motions of the planets these texts compiled records of past observations to find the same time or shortly afterwards astronomers created mathematical models that allowed them to predict these phenomena directly without consulting past records arithmetical predictions though there is a lack of surviving material on babylonian planetary theory it appears most of the chaldean astronomers were concerned mainly with ephemerides and not with theory most of the predictive babylonian planetary models that have survived were usually strictly empirical and arithmetical and usually did not involve geometry cosmology or speculative philosophy like that of the later hellenistic models though the babylonian astronomers were concerned with the philosophy dealing with the ideal nature of the early universe in contrast to greek astronomy which was dependent upon cosmology babylonian astronomy was independent from cosmology whereas greek astronomers expressed prejudice in favor of circles or spheres rotating with uniform motion such a preference did not exist for babylonian astronomers for whom uniform circular motion was never a requirement for planetary orbits there is no evidence that the celestial bodies moved in uniform circular motion or along celestial spheres astronomers during this period include the discovery of eclipse cycles and saros cycles and many accurate astronomical observations for example they observed that the sun s motion along the ecliptic was not uniform though they were unaware of why this was it is today known that this is due to the earth moving in an elliptic orbit around the sun with the earth moving swifter when it is nearer to the sun at perihelion and moving slower when it is farther away at aphelion chaldean astronomers known to have followed this model include naburimannu fl thrd century bc kidinnu d bc berossus rd century bce and sudines fl bce they are known to have had a significant influence on the greek astronomer hipparchus and the egyptian astronomer ptolemy as well as other hellenistic astronomers heliocentric astronomy the only surviving planetary model from among the chaldean astronomers is that of seleucus of seleucia b bc who supported aristarchus of samos heliocentric model aetius strabo and muhammad ibn zakariya alrazi strabo lists seleucus as one of the four most influential chaldeanbabylonian astronomers alongside kidenas kidinnu naburianos naburimannu and sudines their works were originally written in the akkadian language and later translated into greek seleucus however was unique among them in that he was the only one known to have supported the heliocentric theory of planetary motion proposed by aristarchus where the earth rotated around its own axis which in turn revolved around the sun according to plutarch seleucus even proved the heliocentric system through reasoning though it is not known what arguments he used according to lucio russo his arguments were probably related to the phenomenon of tides seleucus correctly theorized that tides were caused by the moon although he believed that the interaction was mediated by the earth s atmosphere he noted that the tides varied in time and strength in different parts of the world according to strabo seleucus was the first to state moon and that the height of the tides depends on the moon s position relative to the sun according to bartel leendert van der waerden seleucus may have proved the heliocentric theory by determining the constants of a geometric model for the heliocentric theory and by developing methods to compute planetary positions using this model he may have used trigonometric methods that were available in his time as he was a contemporary of hipparchus none of his original writings or greek translations have survived though a fragment of his work has survived only in arabic translation which was later referred to by the persian philosopher muhammad ibn zakariya alrazi babylonian influence on hellenistic astronomy many of the works of ancient greek and hellenistic writers including mathematicians astronomers and geographers have been preserved up to the present time or some aspects of their work and thought are still known through later references however achievements in these fields by earlier ancient near eastern civilizations notably those in babylonia were forgotten archaeological sites in the th century many cuneiform writings on clay tablets have been found some of them related to astronomy most known astronomical tablets have been described by abraham sachs and later published by otto neugebauer in the astronomical cuneiform texts act since the rediscovery of the babylonian civilization it has become apparent that hellenistic astronomy was strongly influenced by the chaldeans the best documented borrowings are those of hipparchus nd century bce and claudius ptolemy nd century ce early influence many scholars agree that the metonic cycle is likely to have been learned by the greeks from babylonian scribes meton of athens a greek astronomer of the th century bce developed a lunisolar calendar based on the fact that solar years is about equal to lunar months a period relation already known to the babylonians in the th century eudoxus of cnidus wrote a book on the fixed stars his descriptions of many constellations especially the babylonian originals the following century aristarchus of samos used an eclipse cycle of babylonian origin called the saros cycle to determine the year length however all these examples of early influence must be inferred and the chain of transmission is not known influence on hipparchus and ptolemy in franz xaver kugler demonstrated that ptolemy had stated in his almagest iv that hipparchus improved the values for the moon s periods known to him from even more ancient astronomers by comparing eclipse observations made earlier by the chaldeans and by himself however kugler found that the periods that ptolemy attributes to hipparchus had already been used in babylonian ephemerides specifically the collection of texts nowadays called system b sometimes attributed to kidinnu apparently hipparchus only confirmed the validity of the periods he learned from the chaldeans by his newer observations later greek knowledge of this specific babylonian theory is confirmed by ndcentury papyrus which contains lines of a single column of calculations for the moon using this same system b on clay tablets it is clear that hipparchus and ptolemy after him had an essentially complete list of eclipse observations covering many centuries most likely these had been compiled from the diary tablets these are clay tablets recording all relevant observations that the chaldeans routinely made preserved examples date from bc to ad but probably the records went back as far as the reign of the babylonian king nabonassar ptolemy starts his chronology with the first day in the egyptian calendar of the first year of nabonassar ie february bc this raw material by itself must have been tough to use and no doubt the chaldeans themselves compiled extracts of eg all observed eclipses some tablets with a list of all eclipses in a period of time covering a saros have been found this allowed them to recognise periodic recurrences of events among others they used in system b cf almagest iv synodic months returns in anomaly month this is now known as the saros period which is very useful for predicting eclipses synodic months returns in anomaly synodic months returns in latitude synodic month days sexagesimal days in decimals days hours min s the babylonians expressed all periods in synodic months probably because they used a lunisolar calendar various relations with yearly phenomena led to different values for the length of the year similarly various relations between the periods of the planets were known the relations that ptolemy attributes to hipparchus in almagest ix had all already been used in predictions found on babylonian clay tablets other traces of babylonian practice in hipparchus work are first greek known to divide the circle in degrees of arc minutes first consistent use of the sexagesimal number system the use of the unit pechus cubit of about or use of a means of transmission all this knowledge was transferred to the greeks probably shortly after the conquest by alexander the great bc according to the late classical philosopher simplicius early th century alexander ordered the translation of the historical astronomical records under supervision of his chronicler callisthenes of olynthus who sent it to his uncle aristotle it is worth mentioning here that although simplicius is a very late source his account may be reliable he spent some time in exile at the sassanid persian court and may have accessed sources otherwise lost in the west it is striking that he mentions the title tresis greek guard which is an odd name for a historical work but is in fact an adequate translation of the babylonian title massartu meaning guarding but also observing anyway aristotle s pupil callippus of cyzicus introduced his year cycle which improved upon the year metonic cycle about that time he had the first year june bc julian proleptic date but later he seems to have counted lunar months from the first month after alexander s decisive battle at gaugamela in fall bc so callippus may have obtained his data from babylonian sources and his calendar may have been anticipated by kidinnu also it is known that the babylonian priest known as berossus wrote around bc a book in greek on the rather mythological history of babylonia the babyloniaca for the new ruler antiochus i it is said that later he founded a school of astrology on the greek island of kos another candidate for teaching the greeks about babylonian astronomyastrology was sudines who was at the court of attalus i soter late in the rd century bc in any case the translation of the astronomical records required profound knowledge of the cuneiform script the language and the procedures so it seems likely that it was done by some unidentified chaldeans now the babylonians dated their observations in their lunisolar or days or months respectively at the time they did not use a regular calendar such as based on the metonic cycle like they did later but started a new month based on observations of the new moon this made it very tedious to compute the time interval between events what hipparchus may have done is transform these records to the egyptian calendar which uses a fixed year of always days consisting of months of days and extra days this makes computing time intervals much easier ptolemy dated all observations in this calendar he also writes that all that he hipparchus did was to make a compilation of the planetary observations arranged in a more useful way almagest ix pliny states naturalis historia iiix on eclipse predictions after their time thales the courses of both stars sun and moon for years were prophesied by hipparchus period of years but considering the enormous amount of computation required this is very unlikely rather hipparchus would have made a list of all eclipses from nabonasser s time to his own

 typhoon karen was the most powerful tropical cyclone to strike guam and was regarded as one of the most destructive events in the island s history karen was first identified as a tropical disturbance on november well to the southeast of truk over the following two days the system tracked generally northward and quickly intensified after becoming a tropical storm late on november karen explosively intensified into a category equivalent super typhoon by november turning westward the typhoon maintained its intensity and struck guam with winds of kmh mph on november once clear of the island it strengthened slightly and reached its peak intensity on november with winds of kmh mph and a barometric pressure of mb hpa inhg the storm then gradually turned northward as it weakened brushing the ryukyu islands on november before moving eastnortheastward over the open waters of the pacific karen continued to weaken and transitioned into an extratropical day between alaska and hawaii striking guam with unprecedented intensity karen devastated the island with wind gusts estimated up to kmh mph ninetyfive percent of homes were damaged or destroyed leaving at least people homeless it was regarded as the worst typhoon to ever strike the island communication and utilities were crippled forcing officials to set up water distribution centers in order to avoid the spread of waterborne diseases total losses on the island amounted to million despite the severity of damage only people were killed in the wake of the storm a massive relief operation began that involved the evacuation of thousands to either california hawaii or wake island thousands more were sheltered in public buildings and later tent villages for many months more than million in relief funds were sent to guam over the following years to aid in rehabilitation though the storm s effects were devastating it was later attributed with improving the overall quality of life as building codes were reformed november a tropical disturbance was identified several hundred miles southsoutheast of truk by the joint typhoon warning center jtwc tracking northwestward the disturbance intensified and was classified a tropical depression early on november later that day the system passed to the east of truk and turned due north before attaining galeforce winds around utc the jtwc issued their first advisory on tropical storm karen the th named storm of the season several hours later a reconnaissance mission into the storm revealed a partially closed kmmi abbron wide eye over the following hours karen underwent a period of explosive intensification as its eye became small and increasingly defined between utc on november and utc on november karen s barometric pressure plummeted from mbar hpa inhg to mb hpa inhg a drop of mb hpa inhg at the end of this phase karen featured a tokmmi abbron wide mph ranking it as a modern day category equivalent super typhoon on the saffirsimpson hurricane scale after attaining this initial peak intensity on november karen weakened somewhat as it gradually curved westnorthwestward by utc the storm began to undergo an eyewall replacement cycle as a larger secondary eyewall approximately kmmi abbron in diameter started developing although the storm s winds failed to drop significantly karen s central pressure rose to mb hpa inhg during this phase accelerating slightly karen tracked steadily westnorthwestward towards guam by november the system had regained a welldefined eye and deepened once more between and utc on november the kmmi abbron wide eye of karen passed directly over southern guam at this time the storm was estimated to have had winds of kmh mph making it the most intense typhoon to strike the island since however poststorm analyses in the years after the typhoon indicate that it may have the weather bureau station at the north end of guam a pressure of mb hpa inhg was measured further south at anderson air force base mb hpa inhg was recorded the lowest verified pressure was mb hpa inhg at the agana naval air station closest to the eye was naval magazine where a pressure of mb hpa inhg was estimated continuing westnorthwestward karen attained its peak intensity on november with a central pressure of mb hpa inhg between november and karen gradually turned towards the north as it underwent another eyewall replacement cycle during this time karen finally weakened below category status as its winds dropped below kmh mph this marked the end of its nearrecord day span as a storm of such intensity second only to typhoon nancy of which maintained category status for days over the following days its eye no longer welldefined by november by this time karen began accelerating northeastward and later eastnortheastward over the open ocean the combination of its rapid movement and entrainment of cold air into the circulation ultimately caused the system to transition into an extratropical cyclone on november the remnants of karen continued tracking eastnortheast and were last noted by the jtwc on november roughly halfway between the southern aleutian islands and northern hawaiian islands impact guam following the identification of a tropical disturbance on november a level four typhoon condition of readiness tcor the lowest level of alert was raised for guam by november three days prior to karen s arrival this was raised to level three prompting residents and military personnel to stock up on supplies a public announcement was made that day as well warning residents that the typhoon would likely strike the island at pm on november utc a level two tcor was put in place for boarded up and emergency supplies were distributed by am utc on november this was raised to level one the highest level of warning at this time the uss haverfield uss brister uss wandank and uss banner sought refuge from the storm over open waters all personnel on the island were ordered to evacuate to typhoonproof shelters and emergency rations were prepared strategic air command planes stationed on the island were relocated to avoid damage many residents on the island sought refuge in government buildings designed to withstand powerful storms while others evacuated to wake island roughly hours after the typhoon s passage all warnings were discontinued striking guam as a category equivalent typhoon karen produced destructive winds across much of the island with the eye passing over the southern tip of the territory the most intense winds were felt over central areas wind gusts over the southern tip of guam were due to the extreme nature of these winds all anemometers on the island failed before the most intense portion of the storm arrived as such there were no measurements of the strongest winds however poststorm reports estimated that sustained winds reached kmh mph in some areas the highest known gust was measured at kmh mph by a united states navy anemometer on nimitz hill just before utc on november roughly two hours before the typhoon s eye passed the station based on this measurement a study in estimated that gusts peaked between and kmh and mph over southern areas of the island newspaper reports indicated that a gust of kmhmph abbron was measured on the island before the anemometer was destroyed there was also an unverified report of a kmhmph abbron wind gust nearly all measurements of rainfall during the typhoon were lost the only known total is inmm dispflip at the weather bureau station for the period of from the winds with some homes being leveled and others nearby having only minor damage akin to the impacts of tornadoes the winds uprooted and snapped palm trees across the island and in some instances stripped the bark of tree trunks and branches as if they were sandblasted damage to vegetation was total across central areas of the island with complete defoliation taking place in some places it was described as the aftermath of a forest fire the winds also blew debris across the island metal roofing was found wrapped around trees in one instance a twinengine aircraft was carried km mi from the hangar it was tied down in a metal sign bolted into a warehouse was tossed km mi and found halfburied in the ground elsewhere a quonset hut was lofted and carried for ftm abbron intact before being crushed on impact along the coast the uss arco was torn from her moorings severing two anchors and shearing a cleat tested for over andlbs rok han ra san and rps negros oriental sunk in the inner harbor of guam regarded as the worst typhoon to ever impact guam acting governor manuel guerrero stated that the entire territory was devastated nearly every structure both civilian and military were severely damaged or destroyed even reinforced concrete structures at anderson air force base sustained severe damage though these structures withstood the direct impact of winds sudden drops in pressure caused windows to shatter in most structures ultimately exposing the interior to water damage military structures suffered the most from this phenomenon as the buildings were designed in a way that pressure differences between the interior and exterior would not equal out debris from damaged or destroyed homes became projectiles during the storm that created further damage the effects of this were regarded as similar to being bombarded with shrapnel or artillery missiles george washington high and tumon junior high were both destroyed guam memorial hospital and the island s public works department were extensively damaged downtown hagta the city s main road marine drive cmin abbron of sand accumulated from karen s storm surge overall the city was percent destroyed while the villages of yona and inarajan were and percent destroyed respectively additionally agana heights and sinajana were reportedly leveled the communication network on the island was completely destroyed as antennas and transmission equipment were blown away approximately percent of telephone poles between the island s naval station and nimitz hill and percent of civilian telephone poles were downed the power grid was also destroyed the guam portion of the pacific scatter communications system suffered extensive damage with all four mft abbron tall antennae at ritidian point being reduced to a mess of tangled twisted steel and cable losses from the antennae alone reached million all airstrips on the island were rendered inoperable hampering initial relief efforts numerous roads across the island were also impassible covered by downed trees and smashed vehicles the wreckage left in the wake of the storm was of homes were destroyed nearly every nontyphoon proof home was severely damaged or destroyed and a majority of typhoon proof buildings sustained extensive damage preliminary surveys by the red cross on november indicated that at least homes were destroyed and another were severely damaged approximately people mostly guamanians were left homeless a total of people lost their lives and about others were injured at least four of the deaths were due to collapsed buildings including three in one home that buckled due to pounding surf losses across the island amounted to million usd the damage across guam was described as much more serious than that of battle of guam when united states troops liberated the island the us navy described it as equal to the impacts of an indirect hit from a nuclear bomb it was also stated that the rehabilitation effort over the previous years had been completely wiped out elsewhere in the mariana islands three ships sank however the crew had been evacuated prior to the storm s arrival on november a level three tcor was issued for okinawa this prompted military personnel to begin securing the island and prepare planes without hangars for evacuation brushing the region as a category equivaelnt typhoon karen caused considerable disruptions to airlines trains shipping and communications however no serious damage was reported in okinawa however the daiyumaru and another japanese fishing vessel with a total of crew went missing in the region on november residents in taiwan were urged to take precautions to minimize casualties prior to the storm s arrival the uss duncan the uss kitty hawk and two other aircraft carriers sought refuge in the taiwan strait despite attempts to escape the storm large swells exceeding mft abbron battered the vessels causing them to pitch up to degrees at times the waves crashed onto the deck according to crewmen waves up to mft abbron struck taipei leaving water marks on many buildings aftermath in the immediate aftermath of the typhoon the pacific air forces were on standby to deliver supplies to guam however they were delayed due to the inoperable airstrips despite damage at the guam memorial hospital other civilian and military installations were able to handle injured persons as many were transferred to the navy s hospital on november manuel guerrero made an urgent appeal to the government of the united states requesting that aid be rushed to the territory additionally he instituted a curfew between pm and am local time for all residents to limit looting at schools teachers were called in to guard supplies and equipment the federal emergency management agency under order from united states president john f kennedy declared guam a major disaster area later that day allowing residents to receive federal aid additionally a man team of united stats air force communications technicians were deployed from guerrero estimated that it would take four months to complete repairs to utilities it was also estimated that schools on the island would be closed for six months initially residents across guam were critical of the delayed response by the united states government because no aid arrived within two days of the storm however this was due to unsafe conditions at airports preventing aircraft from landing with the majority of homes destroyed across guam structures that remained standing were used as temporary shelter for those left homeless similarly damaged military installations at anderson air force base were made available to all civilians by november the uss daniel i sultan arrived in guam with troops to provide emergency power a us air force ac landed on the island that day carrying the first package of relief supplies about troops and public works employees were sent from hawaii on november the red cross and civil defense offices were placed in charge coordinating recovery efforts water distribution centers were drinking water on november a massive evacuation of residents began to remove survivors from unsafe conditions two flights to california took place on the first day of evacuation carrying a total of people thousands of residents were also brought to wake island for shelter military air transport service planes from the united states mainland japan the philippines and hawaii were called in for the operation on november residents were warned of a possible typhoid epidemic and urged to get inoculations for the disease over a threeday span roughly people were given preventative shots for the disease in contrast to their previous ban on alien workers the government of guam requested carpenters masons and other building workers from the philippines by november the navy supply depot planned to have enough supplies for the entire populous shipped until replenishment arrived in order to shelter homeless the united states navy set up tent villages across the island military kitchens were also established to provide food news reports stated that the island had its saddest thanksgiving in history with many unable to have a full meal on november insurance payments for losses were expected to exceed million on january a million relief fund was authorized by president kennedy another million in relief funds were provided by president lyndon b johnson on february the united states congress provided guam with million including million through federal loans in order for the territory to recover from the typhoon the main purpose of these funds was for rehabilitation and to promote expansion of the economy additionally the storm brought about the end of military security on the island which in turn aided economic growth within five years of this decision japanese tourism to the island dramatically increased prompting a major increase in the number of hotels in the longterm the impacts of typhoon karen and other destructive storms in guam s history shaped the development of the island s infrastructure that could withstand powerful typhoons since karen most buildings on the island have been constructed with concrete and steel less than half a year after karen typhoon olive caused extensive damage in guam and the mariana islands on april with many residents living in tents and debris from the storm still scattered about severe damage was anticipated schools churches and other structures were opened as shelters in order to protect those without homes ultimately guam was spared the worst of the storm though much of saipan was devastated the island was again devastated in by typhoon pamela which buffeted the island with destructive winds for hours though weaker than karen the drawn out impact of pamela led it to be regarded as more destructive due to the severity of damage caused by the typhoon in guam the name karen was retired and replaced with kim

 tunbridge wells west is a railway station located in royal tunbridge wells kent it is one of two railway stations in tunbridge wells constructed by rival companies the other tunbridge wells central was opened in by the south eastern railway ser tunbridge wells west was closed to mainline passenger services in but part of it still remains as a heritage railway line opened in it stands next to the original engine shed still in use the line is called the spa valley railway opening the station was opened in by the london brighton and south coast railway lbscr as the eastern terminus of the east grinstead groombridge and tunbridge wells railway eggtwr iteself an extension to the three bridges to east grinstead railway which had been completed in engineered as part of the by the lbscr s chief engineer frederick banister as part of the eggtwr the station was built as part of a race between to the town the lbsc was becoming concerned at threatened incursions by the ser on its territory so a battle was on tunbridge wells was first reached from east grinstead in via groombridge two years later with the south eastern railway ser looking towards lewes the london brighton and south coast railway countered with a line from groombridge to uckfield from tunbridge wells west there were direct services to the south coast at brighton and eastbourne and to london victoria the victoria services ran via groombridge and ashurst as a sign outside the station proudly proclaimed new route to london shortest quickest and most direct frequent express trains station buildings the imposing twostorey main station building was most likely designed by the lbscr s chief engineer f dale bannister who was responsible for other stations on the line called the st pancras of the weald by the wealden line campaign it was a statement of the limits of its territory the station is composed of a central block flanked on the western side by a gablefronted wing and on the eastern side by a threestorey clocktower with a pyramidal slate roof surrounded by a louvred cupola with a weathervane the facade of the building is constructed of red brick with ashlar and black brick dressings on the ground floor level are a series of nine roundarched windows and an arched doorway with a decorated ashlar impost band connecting the windows the eaves are serrated with an ashlar cornice inside the building was a gaslit booking hall with four ticket windows and a panelled ceiling supported by arches springing from stone columns the station s facilities were much larger than those at tunbridge wells central the passenger station originally had five platform roads three serving long platforms two of which were island platforms and two other shorter bay platforms the reason for the station s extensive layout was that it served no fewer than six different routes three of which bifurcated at or selfcontained on one site which incorporated a substantial goods yard motive power depot and carriage sidings the station yard was controlled by two signalboxes one at the west end with levers first known as tunbridge wells west west then as the a box and the other at the east end by montacute road bridge variously named east cabin no box and b box the a box also controlled roads to the locomotive shed and carriage sidings motive power depot the original tworoad locomotive shed code number f was capable of accommodating six engines and situated to the south of the station it was opened in and replaced in by a larger fourroad shed located to the northwest of the station following bomb damage on november during the second world war the slate roof of the engine shed was replaced with corrugated asbestos it was closed to steam locos in june but the tracks were used for storage of engineers rolling stock until the late s initially conceived as a terminus station an agreement between the ser and the lbscr saw tunbridge wells west linked by a short spur to the hastings line thereby connecting it with the central station the spur came about as a consequence of the intense rivalry between the two railway companies which in had led to both simultaneously depositing bills before parliament for competing routes across the southeast the lbscr obtained authorisation to construct the ouse valley railway whilst the ser proposed a new line to eastbourne conscious of the threat that the ser s line would pose to the cuckoo line the lbscr managed to persuade the ser to withdraw its proposal in return for a construction of a spur between the two stations in tunbridge wells a short singletrack spur was therefore opened from tunbridge wells west through grove tunnel after which the track curved north to join the main hastings line towards tunbridge wells central enabling throughrunning to the hastings line and the brighton main line from the west station an lbscr goods service first used the spur from was delayed until february even by only passenger services and goods train were using the spur in a down direction from the central station usage did however increase when the southern railway took over the line following the grouping and in down passenger services used it by this had increased to and in to plus one goods service each way which made the spur one of the busiest singletrack sections anywhere in the country throughrunning on the cuckoo line had been possible since april when the lbscr extended the line from hailsham to eridge which enabled services to run through to tunbridge wells west operations early years in buffalo bill caused a storm when the special train carrying his famous show arrived at tunbridge wells west for a performance crowds of onlookers watched as the horses and coach involved in the show s deadwood stage ambush event dashed out of the circus marquee to head directly to the station where covered one of the bay platforms was subsequently nicknamed the jumbo platform a name arising from the days when circus trains were unloaded at the station and the elephants were marched along the street to the circus site on nearby tunbridge wells common postgrouping in following the grouping ordered by the railways act the station passed into the ownership of the southern railway sr the sr added the suffix west to the station s name on august in order to distinguish it from the other tunbridge wells station which was named central this period saw the station become very popular with crosscountry services with over trains passing each day from groombridge to tunbridge wells west alone there were workings with trains proceeding to three destinations three bridges brighton via the oxted line and eastbourne via the cuckoo line the spur saw little use by four daily workings to brighton and two to uckfield s heyday with the introduction of the summer timetables and the number of stopping passenger trains increased on a normal weekday trains called at tunbridge wells west departures and arrivals there were also nine goods trains five in and four out daily in an hour period between am and midnight on average one passenger train departed or arrived every eight minutes the six routes served were oxted and london via edenbridge town oxted and london via east grinstead three bridges via east grinstead uckfield lewes and brighton heathfield hailsham and eastbourne and tonbridge and sevenoaks via tunbridge wells central decline and closure as the popularity of the motorcar increased train services were severely cut back due to the lack of patronage and the number of services passing through tunbridge wells west declined as one line after another was closed from the s onwards first the east grinstead to lewes line closed in then the in and finally the wealden line in tunbridge wells west was itself listed for closure in only to be subsequently reprieved the line to tunbridge wells west remained open although in its latter years passenger services were mainly confined to a shuttle service between tonbridge via the single line connection to tunbridge wells central now plain tunbridge wells and eridge with a few through trains to uckfield however there was a depot at the station which housed rolling stock for services on the uckfield and east grinstead london via east croydon lines and there were plenty of empty stock moves early and late in the day following a total lack of investment for decades since beeching spending on anything other than essential repairs was nonexistent by the early s the track and signalling needed to be replaced british rail at the time carrying out an upgrade of the tonbridge to hastings line which included the renewal of grove junction decided that the cost of keeping the line from some did not justify the outlay it therefore announced the proposed closure of the line including groombridge and the west station from may which was later deferred after public objections the secretary of state for transport agreed to the withdrawal of passenger services which took effect from july although the section between tunbridge wells west and birchden jn remained open for rolling stock movements until august when the depot at the west station was shut at the time of closure tunbridge wells west station had gas lighting which was in operation in the ticket office and under the canopy revival spa valley railway more than twenty years after its closure tunbridge wells west is once again a busy railway station and depot passenger services using heritage trains now run on the spa valley railway svr between tunbridge wells west to via and after an year struggle during which tunbridge wells borough council gave planning permission for the construction of a sainsburys supermarket in the society acquired the trackbed of the former line as far as birchden junction alongside the former lbampscr loco shed a new platform was built from where services began running to cold bath bridge about mile away in december services were extended to groombridge in august and birchden junction in after the successful return to eridge appeal to raise for the extension to the uckfield main line at eridge railway reconnected the line to on march station buildings following closure of the station the main building was converted into a beefeater restaurant named the old west station before being purchased by herald inns and bars which operate it under the same name as a pubcumrestaurant it is now a smith amp western the building was grade ii listed on march the former goods yard and stabling sidings are lost under a sainsbury s supermarket and a homebase and the trackbed has made into a car park and the frontage to the supermarket an any reinstated line to run through the site and a formal agreement was concluded between tunbridge wells borough council and lord sainsbury whereby the company agreed that if required they will remove at their own cost any buildings obstructing the path of the railway in the mids a toilet block was constructed on the corridor but this could be demolished in accordance with the terms of the agreement the spur to grove junction remains in an overgrown state it was sold for in to railway paths ltd a subsidiary of sustrans but is protected by covenants ensuring that it can only be used for railway purposes the section is also safeguarded from development in the east sussex and brighton and hove structure plan as well as the wealden local plan tunbridge wells borough council has acknowledged the considerable benefits that the line s reopening would bring to the local community and economy whilst at the same time admitting that this will not happen in the near future an inspection carried out by mott macdonald grove tunnel back up to operating standards future a reopening campaign has been run by the wealden line campaign since they are seeking to reopen the railway between tunbridge wells central and eridge and between uckfield and lewes as a part of the national rail network although the svr reopened the connection between tunbridge wells west and the national rail network at eridge in they have no plans for the reinstatement of the line north to tunbridge wells central some of the obstacles facing reopening this half mile section would include the following the spa valley railway station would have to be demolished part of the homebase garden centre would have to be demolished or a viaduct constructed to create a straight alignment for the trackbed the access road to sainsbury s supermarket car park would have to be closed and resited the supermarket s lorry unloading bay demolished and rebuilt elsewhere the bus terminal would have to be demolished or heavily modified in addition the former station building would need to be repurchased and converted back has been partially infilled and would have to be reexcavated grove tunnel would have to be repaired furthermore some of the trackbed to the east has been sold and a bridge over cumberland walk has been demolished the track and signalling would have to be reconnected and reconfigured at grove junction finally pathing trains into tunbridge wells central station which is already congested at peak hours would also pose problems

 ultra panavision and mgm camera were from to the marketing brands that identified motion pictures photographed with panavision s anamorphic movie camera lenses mm film was used to capture images in these processes the projection print however was mm film stock the extra mm on the positive projection print was used to accommodate sixtrack stereo sound ultra panavision and mgm camera were shot at frames per second fps using anamorphic camera lenses ultra panavision and mgm camera s anamorphic lenses compressed the image times yielding an extremely wide aspect ratio of when a mm projection print was used history metrogoldwynmayer mgm like other american motion picture studios briefly experimented with a variety of widescreen formats in the late s in the fox film corporation introduced the fox grandeur widescreen photographic system which used a film mm wide and had an aspect ratio of mgm licensed the abandoned the format after just two films s billy the kid and s the great meadow grandeur used nonstandard perforations but another format developed at around this time by paramount used mm film with standard perforations the frame being perforations high although these formats failed commercially at the time the mm film size and cameras built to use it were to form the basis some years or so later of the camera format for the new mm formats introduced in the s in a us supreme court decision forced movie studios to divest themselves of their profitable theater chains the loss of these theaters and the competitive pressure of television caused significant financial distress for many american motion picture studios in the launch of cinerama was a public sensation and suggested a way to bring studios back from the financial brink but the cameras were heavy bulky and difficult to use installing cinerama in a theater was no simple matter its own projection booth an elaborate channel sound system and a special large deeply curved screen mgm in common with other studios regarded cinerama as being too difficult and expensive for regular movie theaters and therefore began working on a widescreen format that would work with existing theater equipment in the studio developed a process that captured images sideways on standard mm film it called the process arnoldscope after john arnold the head of mgm s photography department arnoldscope was similar to paramount s vistavision except that it used an image ten perforations wide rather than the eight of vistavision unlike vistavision which had some limited use both as a camera format and as a print format arnoldscope was never used commercially also in cinemascope was introduced by th century fox due to its compatibility with standard mm projectors cinemascope was commercially successful quickly and was the most prevalent widescreen format at the time but cinemascope had problems with image distortions and excessive grain so in douglas gottschalk president of panavision with a proposal for the development of a new widescreen photographic system shearer asked panavision to develop a system that would retain the widescreen format either in a mm or mm negative eliminate the distortion effects allow for a highquality transfer to mm and permit a nonanamorphic transfer to mm and mm projection prints the success of paramount pictures widescreen vistavision biblical epic the ten commandments convinced mgm that it should not develop its own widescreen system but rather should license the cinemascope process from fox and build on it the first cameras used for mgm s new widescreen process were not new rather they were mitchell mm cameras built for the failed mm system a quarter century earlier panavision and the mitchell camera company retooled these cameras to meet the specifications submitted by mgm new anamorphic optics were built by panavision which were very different from cinemascope lenses which used optical ground glass elements set in a frame eg a lens to however was that whatever was in the center of the image tended to be stretched wider than whatever was at the edges in closeup shots this distortion was particularly noticeable actors faces became so noticeably distorted that the problem was known as the anamorphic mumps placement of a dioptre lens in front of the anamorphic lens could correct this problem but itself created problems with focal length required increased light on the set and had other issues to avoid the anamorphic mumps panavision did not use an anamorphic lens its new system used two prisms set at angles to an anamorphic mm camera lens to reduce the anamorphic mumps effect this not only solved the problem of the anamorphic mumps but led to a less clumsy more easily focused camera that required less light panavision named the lenses panatar mgm named this new anamorphic format mgm camera the image filmed was captured on special mm eastmancolor film stock as with the toddao format roadshow theatrical releases in the camera the extra mm of space on the mm film stock permitted the use of the sixtrack stereo sound as used on the toddao mm system which audiences rarely heard at the time for nonroadshow screenings mm prints the type of film stock most smaller theaters could project were made the mm print had to be hard masked that is black borders ran along the top and bottom of each frame the image s aspect ratio was cropped slightly to for the mm projection prints because the mm film could be printed down onto mm film theaters did not need to install special expensive mm projection equipment the financial problems at mgm led the studio to rush camera lenses into production in mgm s raintree county and benhur were the first mgm films to use the camera process mgm and panavision shared a special technical oscar in march for developing the camera process to ultra panavision in panavision developed a nonanamorphic mm photographic system from ultra panavision in this was named super panavision differences from toddao the ultra panavision and mgm camera lenses and cameras were similar to the version of the toddao mm photographic process but the toddao system was shot at frames per second fps while ultra panavision and mgm camera used the industry standard of fps and whilst the original toddao process included the use of a deeply curved screen similar to that used for cinerama ultra panavision camera was intended for projection onto a flat screen finally ultra panavision camera compressed the image anamorphically times yielding an aspect ratio of when a mm projection print was used whilst toddao used spherical lenses giving an aspect ratio of films the following films were lensed in either camera or ultra panavision raintree county credited as mgm camera how the west was

 spain is a diverse country integrated by different contrasting regions that show varying economic and social structures as well as different languages and historical political and cultural traditions according to the spanish current constitution the spanish nation is the common and indivisible homeland of all spaniards which is integrated by nationalities and regions to which the constitution recognizes and guarantees the right to selfgovernment the terms nationalities or historical nationalities spanish and galician nacionalidades histricas catalan or though never defined officially are territories whose inhabitants have a strong historically constituted sense of identity or more specifically certain autonomous communities whose statutes of autonomytheir basic institutional legislationrecognizes their historical and cultural identity in spanish jurisprudence the term nationality appears for the first time in the current constitution approved in and after much debate in the spanish parliament although it was explicitly understood that the term made reference to galicia the basque country and catalonia the constitution does not a consensus between the strong centralist position inherited from franco s regime and the nationalist position mainly from the basques galicians and catalans once all nationalities and regions acceded to selfgovernment or autonomy and were constituted as autonomous communities the term was applied in their respective statutes of autonomy not only to define the three abovementioned communities but also andalusia the balearic islands and the valencian community and more recently aragon and the canary islands the rest of the autonomous communities asturias castile and len castilela mancha murcia la rioja cantabria extremadura are simply defined as regions of spain oftentimes as historical regions or as having a historical regional identity in their respective statutes of autonomy navarre and the community of madrid are special cases navarre is defined as a chartered community in the reinstitution of its medieval charters and the community of madrid is defined neither as a nationality nor as a region but as a community created in the nation s interest as the seat of the formation of spain can be viewed as an alliance and progressive union of several peninsular kingdoms and it can be said that the nationalist or regionalist tradition in spain has its roots in spanish history in fact no serious attempt was made to centralize the administration until the reforms of the eighteenth century by the beginning of the nineteenth century though the spanish government was heavily centralized and the state did not recognize the nation s regional diversity it was also later during this same century that as catalonia and the basque country became rapidly industrialized and areas where commercial capitalism made swift progress while the rest of the country followed at a much slower pace nationalistic sentiments began to grow and it was not unusual that some writers of the time would express their concepts of a catalan or basque fatherland or even nationhood both nationalist movements had much in common in that both arose in areas that enjoyed higher levels of prosperity were the only areas in the country to develop modern industry both the catalan and the basque languages began to experience a strong revival as was the case with the galician language both regions rediscovered their historiescatalonia rediscovered her prowess as a mediterranean medieval empire within the crown of aragon and the basque country focused on the mystery of its origins both areas had enjoyed some type of medieval charters whereby they had exercised either full autonomy but not sovereignty within the spanish crown or in later times as it was the case solely for the basque country and navarre they had enjoyed fiscal autonomy the larger economic development occurring in areas overlapping spatially delimited ethnic communities enhanced the regions own identity as nationalistic sentiments grew sometimes within conservative ideals and afterwards with the left their demands for selfgovernment also grew and in some sectors separatism outright independence was preferred the appearance of the socalled peripheral nationalism in the aforementioned regions of spain occurred in a time where spain itself as a whole first began to look into its own concept of nationhood two competing views the traditionalist where religion played a significant role in defining the spanish nation intrinsically and traditionally catholic and strongly monarchical and the liberal view where sovereignty resided in the nation the people as opposed to the monarch and where some advocated for a uniform centralized state while others preferred decentralization and even republicanism spain experimented with decentralization during the first spanish republic but social and political chaos which had started even before the change of regime with a change of monarchical houses led to its failure at the beginning of the twentieth century the two political discourses of spanish nationalism the traditional and the liberal continued to be present and opposing advocating for different political regimes however the appearance of peripheral nationalisms namely the basque and catalan nationalistic movements produced the unification many spanish nationalists as a counterforce and spanish nationalism became a dialectical struggle between the center and the periphery during the final stages of the turno pacfico a staged spanish parliament catalonia was granted a limited form of selfgovernment and the commonwealth of catalonia was established in with its own regional assembly the assembly drafted a statute of autonomy that was however rejected by the general courts the spanish parliament the commonwealth of catalonia was dissolved during the dictatorship of primo de rivera in in the second spanish republic was established and a new liberal constitution allowed the regions of spain to attain selfgovernment and created the autonomous region as a firstorder administrative division catalonia was the first to approve a statute of autonomy later sanctioned by the spanish parliament and the generalitat the catalan institutions of government that operated since medieval times until the early eighteenth century was restored the basque country and galicia followed suit in but only the statute of autonomy of the first was approved before the spanish civil war erupted after the war centralism was most forcefully enforced during franco s regime as a his attempts to fight separatism with heavyhanded but sporadic repression and his oftentimes severe suppression of language and regional identities backfired the demands for democracy became intertwined with demands for the recognition of a pluralistic vision of the spanish nationhood when franco died spain entered into a phase of transition towards democracy and all democratic groups were forced to face the catalan basque and galician question on september more than one million people marched in the streets of barcelona catalonia demanding llibertat amnistia i estatut dautonomia liberty amnesty and a statute of autonomy the biggest demonstration in postwar europe a decreelaw was passed that allowed for the creation of preautonomas preautonomies or provisional regional governments for all regions the historical nationalities included catalonia was the first to be so constituted reviving again the generalitat the basque country quickly followed suit in the election to the first democratically elected parliament since the times of the republic regional catalan socialists basque nationalist party both won significant positions in representing their regions and their aspirations this newly elected parliament was entrusted to formulate a new constitution nationalities in the constitution of the demands for the recognition of the distinctiveness of catalonia the basque country and galicia within the spanish state became one of the most important challenges for the newly elected parliament in fact the writing of the second article in which the nationalities and regions of spain were recognized was the most hotly debated in the parliament its acceptance was not smooth the right vigorously opposed it while the nationalists and the left firmly objected leaving it out the natural corollary to debating the term nationalities was debating the term nation at the end of the spectrum there were those who thought the term nationalities was unnecessary or that there was only one nation and nationality spain while at the opposite end of the spectrum there were those who advocated for defining spain as a plurinational state that is a state second article was passed along with the term nationalities but firmly stressing the indivisible unity of the spanish nation it reads the article united two historical trends in spain centralism and federalism and in the words of one of the seven fathers of the constitution jordi sol tura it was an authentic point of encounter between different concepts of the spanish nation in it two great notions of spain merge it aimed to give an answer to the nationalistic aspirations that had been silenced during the four decades of franco s dictatorial regime the constitution itself did not define the term despite the diverse meanings and interpretations that its proponents and opponents had ranging from an expression of historical and cultural identities in the superior unity of spain landelino lavilla from the union of the democratic centre communities with a prominent cultural historical or political personality rafael ariassalgado from the union of the democratic centre all the way to making it equivalent to nation opposition to the term nationalities precisely because of its alleged synonymity with nation or defining it as a nation without a state within the plurinational reality of spain as a nation of nations miguel roca junyent from the unified socialist party of catalonia the particular meaning that the term nationalities was to acquire in spanish politics in reference to regions created some confusion with the concept of nationality in reference to citizenship especially when the latter was defined in the th article of the constitution it was suggested that the term nationality be changed to citizenship in the th article but it was considered that the terms nationality and citizenship are not completely synonymous as it is common in other european legislations the preamble to the constitution explicitly stated that it is the nation s will to protect all spaniards and the peoples of spain in the exercise of human rights their cultures and traditions languages and institutions this was a significant move since for the historical languages furthermore the nation became openly multilingual declaring castilian that is spanish the official language of the entire country but declaring that the other spanish languages will also be official in their respective autonomous communities the third article ends up declaring that the richness of the distinct linguistic modalities of spain represent a patrimony which will the object of special respect and protection the state of autonomies the constitution aimed to devolve selfgovernment to both nationalities and regions if the latter so desired which were to be constituted as autonomous communities yet making an implicit distinction between the two groups in the level of competences that were to be devolved and in the way they were to attain selfgovernment the three historical nationalities catalonia galicia and the basque country were granted a simplified fasttrack process while the rest of the regions had to follow a specific set of requirements thus the process was purposely intended to be asymmetrical in nature the autonomous communities were to be formed from the existing provinces century an autonomous community could be created by a province or group of provinces with common historical cultural and economical features yet the outcome was not predictable the constitution created a process for devolution but it differed from other legislations in two main aspects first it did not specify the name or number of the autonomous communities that would integrate the spanish nation and secondly the process was voluntary in nature the regions themselves had the option of choosing to attain selfgovernment or not this unique process of territorial administration was called the state of autonomies though highly decentralized this system is not a federation in that there was still ambiguity with regards to the power attributed to the regions even though they can still negotiate them with the central government while the constitution was still being drafted there was a demonstration in andalusia which sought to be recognized as a nationality as well and to be granted selfgovernment also through a rapid process this opened a phase that was coffee for all which meant that all regions would be served the same that is that all nationalities and regions would accede to selfgovernment in roughly the same degree even if at different paces catalonia the basque country and galicia acceded to autonomy via the fasttrack route established in the st article of the constitution with all competences granted because in the past they had approved a statute by referendum and they had already established a preautonomic provisional government andalusia was able to take this route after a referendum in the rest had the opportunity to accede to autonomy via the slower route established by the rd article with a lower level of competences during a provisional period of five years after which there was to be a progressive transference of competences that would roughly equalize all communities one particular exception was granted to both the basque country and navarre in that their fueros or medieval charters that had granted them fiscal autonomy were restored while navarre a part of the soontobe formed autonomous community of the basque country it followed a different route of devolution precisely because of the reinstitution of the medieval charters and it is nominally known as a chartered community as opposed to an autonomous community both the basque country and navarre are considered communities of chartered regime that is with fiscal autonomy they collect their own taxes and send a prearranged amount to the central government the rest of the communities are considered to be of a common regime currently they administer taxes only partially the taxes collected from common regime communities are administered centrally and distributed amongst them all for fiscal equalization current state of affairs the autonomic process that is the process whereby the nationalities and regions would accede to autonomy was partially concluded in when autonomous communities covering the entire spanish territory were created it was finally completed with the creation of two autonomous cities in northern africa ceuta and melilla all autonomous communities follow the that is no province has been partitioned between communities moreover many communities roughly coincide with the preprovincial historical regions of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries which in turn reflected to some extent some of the historical medieval kingdoms or administrative regions of the past on the other hand some autonomous communities are new creations for example autonomy was granted to cantabria and la rioja both of which were historically part of castile despite the lack of historical base for both communities and the fact that the spanish government favored their integration in the larger castilelen the local population overwhelmingly supported the new entities in cantabria one of the leading intellectual figures in thcentury spain marcelino menndez pelayo had already rejected a castilian identity for his region as far back as while he favored integration with its western neighbor asturias y quin sabe si antes de mucho enlazadas hasta oficialmente ambas provincias rota la ilgica divisin que a los ni nadie nos llame castellanos podr la extensa y riqusima zona cntabroasturiana formar una entidad tan una y enrgica como la de catalua luz y espejo hoy de todas las gentes ibricas the province of madrid was also separated from new castile and constituted as an autonomous community this was partly in recognition of madrid s status as the capital of the nation but also because it was originally excluded from the preautonomic agreements that created the community of castilela mancha to which it naturally belonged some peripheral nationalists still complain that the creation of many regions was an attempt to break down their own national unity by a sort of gerrymandering thus softening the impact of the distinctiveness of their own nationalities as competences were eventually transferred to all communities in roughly the same degree some nationalists view that there is a vanishing practical distinction between nationality and region regardless of how the autonomous community defines itself a dilution that is welcomed by some political parties at the national level in fact other communities have such as andalusia aragon the balearic islands the canary islands and the valencian community also most communities that do not enjoy fiscal autonomy the common regime communities typically tend to follow catalonia s lead in their demands for more competences or selfgovernment this has caused a movement for a further recognition of the distinctiveness of the historical nationalities as nations resuscitating oftentimes the debate between nationality and nation or the concept of a plurinational state in the basque country in the regional government proposed a plan whereby the autonomous community would become a free associated state of spain which was later rejected by the spanish parliament in the catalan parliament in approving a new statute of autonomy chose to define catalonia not as a nationality but explicitly as a nation by a large majority similar proposals were made in andalusia the spanish parliament which has to eventually ratify all statutes of autonomy removed the article that defined catalonia as a nation but made a reference in the parliament had chosen to so define catalonia but that the constitution recognizes her national reality as a nationality finally the distinction of two chartered communities with fiscal autonomy has led to discontent in catalonia which demands the same privilege and transparency being one of the main net contributors of fiscal equalization to which only communities of commonregime are subject to that is it has a large fiscal deficit whereas in galicia and andalusia which are among the biggest net beneficiaries of such centrally managed funding no such demand has been made the nationalities have also played a key role in national statewide politics in the few occasions where no major party has achieved absolute majority in the congress of deputies there have been agreements with the socalled nationalist ie regionalist or peripheral nationalist parties therein present it should be noted that in these occasions no coalitions for government have been made but rather a minority government is formed that receives support from the nationalist parties to approve the budget and other laws the peripheral nationalities the new framework of autonomies has served in legitimizing the spanish state even within the nationalities more so in catalonia and galicia than in the basque country legitimacy is still a question amongst some basque nationalists the basque country was the only community where the spanish constitution in was not approved by the majority of its constituents in the national referendum in practical terms the majority of the population has been satisfied with the framework of devolution since the restoration of democracy even if there are still aspirations for further recognition of the distinctiveness of the nationalities or for the expansion of their selfgovernment in all three historical nationalities there is still a sizable minority more so in catalonia than in the basque country and galicia expressing its voice in one way or another that proposes for the establishment of a true federal state in spain or advocate for their right to selfdetermination and independence the economic crisis in spain that started in has produced different reactions in the different that are not nationalities mostly governed by the centreright popular party are considering a return of some devolved powers back to the central government on the other hand in catalonia the strenuous fiscal situation and the severe austerity measures enacted by the regional government have caused a large discomfort in the population many of which view the unfairness of the large fiscal deficit as aggravating the situation this in turn has led many who are not necessarily separatist but who are enraged by the financial deficit to support secession in recent polls support for independence has doubled from the mid since the recession started to around by september even though support for independence drops to the mid if more options are given with an almost equal percentage opting for the establishment of a true federal system in spain this surge in support for independence was evidenced during the celebration of the national day of catalonia on september when about million people marched on the streets of barcelona rallying history following the rally the president of catalonia artur mas in a previously scheduled meeting with the prime minister of spain mariano rajoy requested and was denied on the basis of its purported unconstitutionality a change in the taxation system in catalonia that would have made it similar to that of the two communities of chartered regime the week after the meeting mas called for the dissolution of the catalan parliament and for early elections to be held on november before its dissolution the catalan parliament approved a bill calling for the next legislature to let catalonia exercise its right of selfdetermination by holding a referendum or consultation during the next four years in which the people would decide on becoming a new independent and sovereign state the parliamentary decision was approved by a large majority of deputies voted affirmative voted negative and abstained the deputy prime minister of spain soraya senz de santamara declared that the central government would exercise all legal instruments current legislation requires the or sanction a binding referendum to block any such attempt the leaders of the opposition both in the catalan parliament as well as in the cortes generales and both from the socialist party do not support catalan secession but rather propose a change in the constitution that would create a true federal system in spain

 brokeground scoreboard yes two ljudski vrt or simply lv is an association football stadium located on the left bank of the river drava in the district of koroka vrata maribor slovenia with a seating capacity of the ground has been the home of nk maribor for every season since their formation on december with the exception of two short periods in early during the construction of the new stands and early when the stadium underwent a major reconstruction opened in it was originally the home of branik maribor an association football club which folded and was disbanded in used as one of the main venues of the national team the ground has hosted twenty slovenia internationals at senior level the first in and the most recent in ljudski vrt has hosted more slovenian football cup finals than any other stadium having hosted ten matches in total six slovenian cups and four slovenian supercups four venues which hosted the uefa european under football championship the area where ljudski vrt is situated was used for burial purpuses for centuries before it was first used for football in the early s over the course of its history the stadium has gone through various stages of renovation and development resulting in the current configuration the record attendance at the stadium is around which was set in a match between maribor and proleter zrenjanin in this record was set before the ground s conversion to an allseater stadium in the changes a result of uefa safety regulations include greatly reduced capacity notable feature of the stadium includes the main stand meters long and meters high concrete arch that is protected by the institute for the protection of cultural heritage of slovenia as an architectural and historical landmark future plans for ljudski vrt include the construction of a nearby underground parking garage that would solve the current parking problems and the redevelopment of the outdated main stand which was since then the stadium is a landmark of the city of maribor and is considered as one of the most beautiful smaller stadium in the world history the area now known as ljudski vrt was originally located outside of maribor s city walls and served as a cemetery for centuries around the year a small parish church with a cemetery was built and remained there until when it was abandoned with turkish incursions being the most likely reason by the church was completely in ruins the site served as a cemetery again between and when it was closed by a decision of the maribor city council some of the tombs were allowed to be in use until when they were transferred to a new site in a tree park was planted on the area from which ljudski vrt received its present day name around the start of the th century ljudski vrt was starting to become the recreational centre of the city and records from show that tennis was war i the whole area served as a shooting range for the austrohungarian army like in other slovenian towns ljubljana celje trbovlje after world war i football boomed in maribor with the establishment of new clubs most notably i ssk maribor which was founded in by slovenian youth together with athletics and tennis football was one of the main sports departments of the club and in they received their first football field at the ljudski vrt area which was erected with the help of local volunteers and prison convicts after the world war ii invasion of yugoslavia in maribor came under the occupation of nazi germany and the nazi regime immediately disbanded all slovene cultural and sports societies i ssk maribor was particularly affected with dozens of arrests and deportations of their members the club ceased all operations and many of their members joined in the fight for their fatherland and a total of perished while fighting the germans those victims were later commemorated with the erection of today by the end of the war maribor was the most destroyed larger town in yugoslavia and the whole ljudski vrt area was devastated completely in ruins and without an organization which would renovate and later manage the sporting infrastructure at the site on january an initiative led to the establishment of branik maribor football club two years later in they became the flagship of the new sport organization md branik the renovation and construction of the sports infrastructure at ljudski vrt and throughout maribor was the primary objective of the new sports organization during most of the late s and early s and on july the ljudski vrt stadium was opened at the time the main pitch was fully enclosed by banking surrounding the athletic track with concrete terraces and seats located on the western side by the concrete terraces in length of meters were constructed throughout the banking around the pitch and served as the standing area for over years and in the late s he was joined by boris pipan with whom they designed a new main stand on the western side of the pitch the construction began in may and was completed in with the new club offices dressing rooms and gyms located beneath it notable feature of the stand includes meters long and meters high concrete arch that is protected by the institute for the protection of cultural heritage of slovenia the primary user of the stadium and the new club offices was to be nk branik however the club was dissolved in due to a food poisoning affair after that the city of maribor was left without an association football club that would play on a professional level which was one of the reasons why nk maribor was established on december the new club found their home in ljudski vrt and on june they played their first match at the stadium with the main stand still under construction at the same state for another years with no major developments until the early s and the independence of slovenia after the opening of the main stand in the stadium s capacity increased to over however as most of the stadium had only concrete standing terraces it was possible to accommodate as much as spectators during the club s important matches the wooden benches on the main stand were replaced by plastic seats in during the same year on august the stadium received four floodlight pylons and the first football match at night was played in a uefa cup winners cup between nk maribor and fc norma tallinn won by maribor the capacity of the stadium was greatly reduced four years later as a result of uefa safety regulations with the ground s conversion to an allseater stadium during the season maribor became the first slovenian club which qualified to the elite uefa champions league as a result the stadium received its first major redevelopment since with the renovation and club offices beneath it the terraces ring opposite of the main stand was enlarged and the total capacity of the stadium was brought to seats making ljudski vrt the largest football stadium in the country at the time maribor results in domestic and international competitions during the s and their dedicated fanbase were the main reasons for political and sports officials in the city to start thinking about a new stadium in the ofis architects project ring was selected with a plan to fully redevelop and modernise the stadium the project included the refurbishment of the main stand and the surrounding area removal of the athletic track and the concrete terraces on the northern southern and eastern side of the pitch and their replacement with the brand new covered stands in addition the project also included new club offices gym s dressing rooms and commercial premises such as shops and bars located beneath the new stands however it would take nearly a decade for the project to become a reality when in the city the government of slovenia and the european union finally amassed enough funds to start the first stage of the project the first stage of improvements worth about million euros saw the removal of the athletic track and the uncovered stands that surrounded the pitch from the north east and south which were replaced by new covered stands built only couple of meters from the pitch construction began in august and was finished by may one of the improvements included the replacement of the turf which also included the installation of the underground heating system and during that time maribor played couple of months at the ptuj city stadium in ptuj about kilometres from the city of maribor in addition this was the first time that maribor had played home matches outside of the ljudski vrt stadium since the opening of the main stand in the new stands which increased the stadium capacity by over seats were opened on may during a league match against nafta lendava crowd of spectators and maribor won the second stage of the project started in and saw the completion of the premises under the new eastern stand it included new club offices and dressing rooms for the club including gyms and the new vip area in addition about new seats were installed and the total capacity of the stadium was brought to its present seats football the stadium is mainly used for football and is the home ground of football club nk maribor it is the symbol of the club and one of the most recognizable sport landmarks in slovenia beside being the home ground of nk maribor the stadium has also hosted final matches of the slovenian republic cup slovenian cup and slovenian supercup on numerous occasions and is also the home venue of the slovenia national football team and was the main venue for fifa

the first leg of the promotional playoffs for the yugoslav first league on july the stadium also holds the record for the highest attendance achieved on a slovenian league match this was set in the final round of the season when spectators were present for maribor s match against beltinci which secured the club s first league title on june the record modern allseated attendance is for the first

 the remez algorithm or remez exchange algorithm published by evgeny yakovlevich remez in is an iterative algorithm used to find simple approximations to functions specifically approximations by functions in a chebyshev space that are the best in the uniform norm l sub sub sense a typical example of a chebyshev space is the subspace of chebyshev polynomials of order n in the space of real continuous functions on an interval c a b the polynomial of best approximation within a given subspace is defined to be the one that minimizes the maximum absolute difference between the polynomial and the function in this case the form of the solution is precised by the equioscillation theorem procedure the remez algorithm starts with the function f to be approximated and a set x of math n math sample points math x x xn linearly mapped to the interval the steps are solve the linear system of equations math b b xi bn xi n i e fxi math where math i n math for the unknowns math b b bn math and e use the math bi math as coefficients to form a polynomial math pn math find the set m of points of local maximum error math pnx fx math if the errors at every math m in m math are of equal magnitude and alternate in sign then math pn math is the minimax approximation polynomial if not replace x with m and repeat the steps above the result is called the polynomial of best approximation the chebyshev approximation or the minimax approximation a review of technicalities in implementing the remez algorithm is given by w fraser on the choice for the initial approximation because of their role in the theory of polynomial interpolation for the initialization of the optimization problem for function f by the lagrange interpolant l sub n sub f it can be shown that this initial approximation is bounded by math lvert f lnfrvertinfty le lvert lnrvertinfty infp in pn lvert f prvert math with the norm or lebesgue constant of the lagrange interpolation operator l sub n sub of the nodes t sub sub t sub n sub being math lvert lnrvertinfty overlinelambdant max le x le lambdan t x math t being the zeros of the chebyshev polynomials and the lebesgue functions being math lambdan t x sumj n left ljx right frac x ti tj ti math theodore a kilgore carl de boor and allan pinkus proved that there exists a unique t sub i sub for each l sub n sub although not known explicitly for ordinary polynomials similarly math underlinelambdant min le x le lambdan t x math and the optimality of a choice of nodes can be expressed as math overlinelambdan underlinelambdan ge math for chebyshev nodes which provides a suboptimal but analytically explicit choice the asymptotic behavior is known as math overlinelambdant fracpi log n fracpileft gamma logfracpiright alphan math being the eulermascheroni constant with math for math n ge math and upper bound math overlinelambdant le fracpi log n math lev brutman obtained math hatt math being the zeros of the expanded chebyshev polynomials math overlinelambdanhatt underlinelambdanhatt rdiger gnttner obtained from a sharper estimate for math n ge math math overlinelambdanhatt underlinelambdanhatt detailed discussion here we provide more information on the steps outlined above in this section we let the index i run from to n step given math x x xn math solve the linear system of n equations math b b xi bn xi n i e fxi math where math i n math for the unknowns math b b bn math and e it should be clear that math i e math in this equation makes sense only if the nodes math x xn math are ordered either strictly increasing or strictly decreasing as is well known not every linear system has a solution also the solution can be obtained with only math on math arithmetic operations while a standard solver from the library would take math on math operations here is the simple proof compute the standard n th degree interpolant math px math to math fx math at the first n nodes and also the standard n th degree interpolant math px math to the ordinates math i math math pxi fxi pxi i i n math to this end use each time newton s interpolation formula with the divided differences of order math n math and math on math arithmetic operations the polynomial math px math has its i th zero between math xi math and math xi i n math and thus no further zeroes between math xn math pxn math have the same sign math n math the linear combination math px p x px cdot e math is also a polynomial of degree n and math pxi pxi pxi cdot e fxi i e i ldots n math this is the same as the equation above for math i n math and for any choice of e the same equation for i n is math pxn pxn pxn cdot e fxn n e math and needs special reasoning solved for the variable e it is the definition of e math e fracpxn fxnpxn n math as mentioned above the two terms in the and thus math px equiv b bx ldots bnxn math are always welldefined the error at the given n ordered nodes is positive and negative in turn because math pxi fxi i e i n math the theorem of de la valle poussin states that under this condition no polynomial of degree n exists with error less than e indeed if such a polynomial existed call it math tilde px math then the difference math pxtilde px px fx tilde px fx math would still be positivenegative at the n nodes math xi math and therefore have at least n zeros which is impossible for a polynomial of degree n thus this e is a lower bound for the minimum error which can be achieved with changes the notation from math b bx bnxn math to math px math step improves upon the input nodes math x xn math and their errors math pm e math as follows in each pregion the current node math xi math is replaced with the local maximizer math barxi math and in each nregion math xi math is replaced with the local minimizer expect math barx math at a the math bar xi math near math xi math and math barxn math at b no high precision is required here the standard line search with a couple of quadratic fits should suffice see let math zi pbarxi fbarxi math each amplitude math zi math is greater than or equal to e the theorem of de la valle poussin and its proof also apply to math z zn lower bound for the best error possible with polynomials of degree n moreover math maxzi math comes in handy as an obvious upper bound for that best possible error step with math min zi math and math max zi math as lower and upper bound for the best possible approximation error one has a reliable stopping criterion repeat the steps until math maxzi minzi math is sufficiently small or no longer decreases these bounds indicate the progress variants sometimes more than one sample point is replaced at the same time with the locations of nearby maximum absolute differences sometimes relative error is used to measure

early shows involved breaking into warehouses in the phoenix area and performing to fans who were all invited by wordofmouth phunk junkeez concerts often attracted the attention of local police the band has had member changes over its years especially on guitar but three original members still make up part of the band to this day soulman singer jumbo jim bass and dj roach singer and dj history the phunk junkeez founders kirk reznik aka ktel disco and joe valiente soulman started performing to prerecorded beats under for solo performances later as an opening act for such artists as mc hammer and rundmc that project turned into bumrap in followed by the phunk junkeez in the two rappers reznik and valente joined forces with another band freak squad in and later that year recycled dj roach clip from their rap days the band members included jumbo jim bassist mike kramer guitarist and disco danny dynamite aka disco danny d disco dan dk mueller on drums the phunk junkeez were a massively popular act in the valley throughout the early s playing huge illegal warehouse keggers and routinely drawing more than fans into clubs djs soulman and roach clip are both natives of alaska and grew up in the same trailer park although never met until both had grown up and moved to arizona the band released their selftitled debutalbum in this album was one of the most popular local releases from

among the junkeez specifically a fight between reznik and then guitarist jeff orourke and a second brawl later that same tour next to the dressing room between reznik and disco danny d after numerous negative incidents between reznik and the rest of the members over the next year ktel disco reznik was voted out of the band after the departure of reznik the band immediately toured and brought along a mobile recording studio to write their next album those ideas written on tour were the basis of fear of a wack planet released in which was recorded in amsterdam and produced by lee popa a clear

 polocockta sometimes written as polo cockta or polococta is a polish cocacolalike drink introduced in the s polocockta was introduced as a substitute for the original cocacola which was unavailable in polish shops due to limited import from the usa to the eastern european countries at first it was based on cockta very popular drink from slovenia then yugoslavia polocockta was discontinued during the s but has been revived again for a few years by a private company zbyszko which acquired all the rights to the brand reacting to the everpopular demand for prlstylised products the taste of polocockta is sometimes described as a mixture of cocacola and pepsi currently available is polo cola which replaced the regular polocockta however this is actually the same drink with the name changed polocockta has made a significant appearance in the polish film kingsajz by juliusz machulski where it was a major plot device 
 cruciate ligaments also cruciform ligaments are pairs of ligaments arranged like a letter x in the fingers the deep and superficial flexor tendons pass through a fibroosseous tunnel system the flexor mechanism of annular and cruciate ligaments called pulleys the cruciate pulleys tether the long flexor tendons the number and extent of these cruciate and annular ligaments varies among individuals but three cruciate and four or five annular ligaments are normally found in each finger usually referred to as for example a pulley and c pulley the thumb has a similar system for its long flexor tendon but with a single oblique pulley replacing the cruciate pulleys found in the fingers the human foot has a cruciate crural ligament also known as inferior extensor retinaculum of foot the equine foot has a pair of cruciate distal sesamoidean ligaments in the metacarpophalangeal joint these ligaments can be seen using computed tomography clinical significance rupture rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament is one of the most frequent acquired and cats direct trauma to the joint is relatively uncommon and age appears to be a major factor cruciate ligament injuries are common in animals and in a study estimated that billion was spent in the united states in treating the cranial cruciate ligament of dogs history etymology in the first edition of the official latin nomenclature nomina anatomica rebaptized in as terminologia anatomica the latin expression ligamenta cruciata was used similar to the expression cruciate ligaments currently in use in english the nomenclature committee of the basle nomenclature anatomica intended to use the past participle cruciata derived from the verb cruciare to refer to crossed in classical latin the verb cruciare is derived from crux with the latter noun meaning cross reference works from english cruciate equivalent to crossshaped in classical latin cruciare however means to torture and to torment and not to cross early christian writers like lactantius used cruciare in the sense of to crucify english cruciate derived from latin cruciatus used to refer similarly to tortured and tormented the english translation of the list of latin names of the basle nomina anatomica partially circumvented this problem by using crucial ligaments instead of cruciate ligaments as crucialis is absent in the classical latin vocabulary with crucial in english meaning crosswise or in the form of a cross the second edition of nomina anatomica genus and mentioned explicitly that the former adjective cruciata could refer to crucified the classical latin verb decussare means to divide crosswise in the form of an x with its english equivalent to decussate is written as x was also used to refer to this specific numerical designation x the latin verb decussare is derived from this specific noun decussis earlier it was suggested to replace the adjective cruciatus by the adjective chiastus which is a latinization of ancient greek the greek is the uppercase of the letter chi with a similar shape to the latin x denoting ten in modern greek a cruciate ligament is similarly called with meaning ligament the subsequent edition of the nomina anatomica approved in reverted back subsequent editions still used this incorrect form despite criticism

 digital radiography is a form of xray imaging where digital xray sensors are used instead of traditional photographic film advantages include time efficiency through bypassing chemical processing and the ability to digitally transfer and enhance images also less radiation can be used to produce an image of similar contrast to conventional radiography instead of xray film digital radiography uses a digital image capture device this gives advantages of immediate image preview and availability elimination of costly film processing steps a wider dynamic range which makes it more forgiving for over and underexposure as well as the ability to apply special image processing techniques that enhance overall display of the image detectors there are two major variants of digital image capture devices flat panel detectors fpds and highdensity linescan solid state detectors flat panel detectors fpds are further classified in two main categories indirect fpds amorphous silicon asi is the most common material of commercial fpds combining asi detectors with a scintillator in the csi or gadolinium oxysulfide gd sub sub o sub sub s converts xrays to light because of this conversion the asi detector is considered an indirect imaging device the light is channeled through the asi photodiode layer where it is converted to a digital output signal the digital signal is then read out by thin film transistors tfts or fibercoupled ccds the image data file is sent to a computer for display direct fpds amorphous selenium ase fpds are known as direct detectors because xray photons are converted directly into charge the outer layer of the flat panel in this design is typically a highvoltage bias electrode xray photons create electronhole pairs in ase and the transit of these electrons and holes depends on the potential of the bias voltage charge as the holes are replaced with electrons the resultant charge pattern in the selenium layer is read out by a tft array active matrix array electrometer probes or microplasma line addressing highdensity composed of a photostimulable barium fluorobromide doped with europium bafbreu or caesium bromide csbr phosphor the phosphor detector records the xray energy during exposure and is scanned by a laser diode to excite the stored energy which is released and read out by a digital image capture array of a ccd radiological examinations medical medical uses for digital radiography dr can be broken into two subcategories dental and the rest of the body dental the radiological examinations in dentistry may be classified into intraoral where the film or sensor is placed in the mouth the purpose being to focus on a small region of the oralmaxillofacial region and extraoral where the film or sensor is placed outside the mouth aiming to visualize the entire oral maxillofacial region extraoral imaging is further divided into orthopantomogram showing a section curved following more or less mandible shape of the whole maxillofacial block and cephalometric analysis showing a projection as parallel as possible provides the clinician with the ability to store their images on a computer this provides two key advantages over film in the form of full screen images that can be enhanced and zoomed in on aiding diagnostics and providing easier patient communication as well as allowing dental offices to communicate images electronically allowing for simpler referrals and where applicable easier insurance claim submission rest of the body digital radiography this is an expanding and changing field of science and subject to revision digital radiography is replacement of the former analog methods of detection with the almost instantaneous development of images on a digital display instead of the former methods of film and the associated delay in time and chemistry consumption industrial usage of xrays aerospace aerospace is an industry that has experienced great growth in recent decades non destructive testing ndt in aerospace has a special driver of its own due to the high levels of human traffic involved the crash of a civil life reaching catastrophic proportions therefore strict ndt specifications have been set to detect very small cracks and defects in engine turbo discs blades and airframe structures in both production and ongoing maintenance security digital radiography dr has existed in various forms for example ccd and amorphous silicon imagers in the security xray inspection field for over years and is rapidly replacing the use of film for inspection xrays in the security and ndt fields dr has opened a window of opportunity for the aerospace ndt industry due to several key advantages including excellent image quality high pod portability environmental friendliness and immediate imaging digital radiographic systems digital dental radiography comes in two forms direct that connect directly to the computer via usb and provides immediate images and indirect photostimulable phosphor plates or psp which uses plates that are radiated and then digitally scanned direct digital sensors represent a significant initial investment but in addition to the convenience of digital images spends in the dental chair they also reduce the need for the constant purchase of film and the necessary development chemicals early systems used ccd sensor technology but changed to amorphous silicon asih sensors following their introduction in early indirect digital imaging also termed computed radiography utilizes a reusable plate in place of the film after xray exposure the plate sheet is placed in a special scanner where the latent formed image is retrieved point by point and digitized using laser light scanning the digitized images are stored and displayed on the computer screen this method is halfway between old filmbased technology and current direct digital imaging technology it is similar to the film process because it involves the same image support handling but differs in that the chemical development process is replaced by scanning this is not much faster than film processing and the resolution and sensitivity performances are contested psp has been described as having an advantage of fitting within any preexisting equipment without modification because it replaces the existing film and replacement of scratched plates invention in the early s while developing compact lightweight portable equipment for the onboard nondestructive testing ndt of naval aircraft frederick g weighart and james f mcnulty at automation industries inc then in el segundo california coinvented the apparatus which produced the worlds first digital radiograph a fluoroscope image square wave signals were detected by the pixels of a cathode ray tube to create the image historical milestones for digital intraoral sensors rvg radiovisiography trophy radiology france introduced the world s first intraoral xrays imaging sensor trophy radiology patented it under the restricted name radiovisiography other companies use the phrase digital radiography and continues to produce intraoral sensors today under the carestream dental name which is used under license by carestream health carestream dental has released a wireless version of their rvg intraoral sensor named the rvg sundsvall sweden is introduced the company went out of business and their technology was purchased by dentx recently renamed to imageworks usa first distributor in north america was video dental concepts visualx of gendex italy subsidiary of usa company cdr of schick technologies usa schick were the

the last round a strategy card for the current turn two cards if there are or players the strategy card chosen determines the order in which the players will act during the current turn provides a primary ability that the holder of the strategy card will use during the turn and a secondary ability that the other players may use when the primary ability is activated there are eight strategies initiative diplomacy political logistics trade warfare technology and imperial any unchosen strategy cards receive bonus tokens which encourage players to choose them during the next strategy phase each player in turn order then takes one action actions can either be strategic which involves using the primary ability of their strategy card or tactical which involves building and moving units and combat each player must use their primary strategy ability at some time during the turn to allow the other players to use the secondary ability of that strategy players are limited in the number of actions they tokens which are divided between strategy used to access the secondary action of other players strategy cards fleet supply limiting the number of ships that can occupy a system and command pools used for tactical actions players continue taking actions in turn order until each player has passed units and technology can be purchased with a combination of planetary resources and trade goods the trade strategy allows players to exchange trade agreement cards which then allow their holder to earn trade goods when the trade strategy abilities are used combat plays much like axis amp allies it is fought in rounds with each unit rolling one or more sided dice to attempt to score hits on the enemy player who is allowed a counterattack with all their units before choosing which units are destroyed many aspects of play are modified both by the special abilities of the race the player is playing and by advanced technology the race controls the political strategy card can also introduce various laws laws using the political influence ratings of the planets they control the players also receive action cards each turn which can be used to tip the balance in combat or to gain other advantages for a turn at the end of each turn the players have the opportunity to score victory points for one public goal that has been revealed andor for their own secret objective each player begins the game with one random secret objective the first player to achieve victory points is declared the new emperor and wins the game there are a few other public goals that allow a player to win without having to score victory points most games take four to six hours to complete although games with six players or those new to the game can take longer strategy generally each player will attempt to expand quickly into the unclaimed systems around their home world and then use those resources to achieve the revealed public goals which usually involve control or expenditure of resources technology or units is not generally necessary to engage in combat in order to win the game in the base game half of the secret objectives which are all worth victory points involve control of the former imperial capital mecatol rex and controlling the planet grants the most political influence of any planet in the game these facts and its central location usually lead to conflict over the ownership of mecatol rex in the expansion shattered empire out of secret objectives involve control of mecatol rex a decisive factor in most games is the choice of the imperial strategy card executing the card s strategy immediately scores the controlling player victory points and reveals the next public goal card the only way outside of the secret objectives to score victory points with a group of players that have previously played the game the imperial strategy card generally circulates regularly around the table with each player taking it as a first choice when possible and a player who succeeds in taking the card the other players the card effectively acts as a clock on the game since it is almost always chosen each turn many fans were unhappy with the original imperial strategy card which they saw as far too powerful and an alternate was included in the expansion which allows a player to qualify for multiple objectives instead of the usual one variants and optional rules the game comes with several optional rules and the counters necessary to play them out some of these were optional expansions in earlier editions of the game the simplest variant is the long game where the winner must score victory points the scoring track included with the game has two sides one for the point game and one for many players play a variant of the game where the imperial strategy card only scores victory point for its owner this reduces the importance of the imperial strategy card and allows for slightly longer games the shattered empire expansion fixes most of the problems seen in the as a must have for the game to be playable the distant suns variant places random counters on each neutral planet these counters are revealed when first explored and can have a variety of beneficial or detrimental effects to the explorer three leader counters either admiral diplomat agent general or scientist are included in the game for each race each of which can provide special benefits for the ship or system they are present in additional optional rules and variants are included in the rulebook twilight imperium shattered empire fantasy flight games released an expansion

movement invasion and technology steps each player had equal access to these phases every round among the strategy cards coupled with the new threaded activation sequence in e players collected credits as tangible money that could be spent from round to round e s spending is mostly done by exhausting planets though the trade good concept does allow some limited form of savable liquid assets in e the only spaceships that could be built were cruisers carriers dreadnoughts and fighters e introduced destroyers cheaper and weaker than cruisers but more mobile than fighters and war suns expensive and powerful super ships while most of the technologies were ported from e to e many of the effects changed significantly largely to fit with the e sequence better politics in e was done at the beginning of each game round by drawing a card from a political card deck and voting on the agenda some of these cards were events which automatically affected the game in some way such as introducing hostile lzx forces in e e players achieved victory by progressing along a fixed set of objectives largely centered around the number of resources influence and planets controlled as well

the presidential campaign given clinton s lack of military experience appointment of a prominent and respected defense expert to head the pentagon seemed desirable because of his leadership position in the house aspin s views on defense issues were well known he was skeptical about the strategic defense initiative and favored a smaller navy a cut in us troops in europe and further reduction of military personnel strength these positions along with the assumption that aspin would work toward a substantial cut in the defense budget worried the military defense industry leaders applauded aspin s selection because he favored maintaining a viable defense industrial base although questioned extensively aspin won easy confirmation in the senate agenda and early difficulties shortly after he took office aspin discussed dangers that had emerged with the end of the cold war the uncertainty that reform could succeed in the former soviet union the enhanced possibility the likely proliferation of regional conflicts and the failure to take adequate account of the impact of the state of the domestic economy on us national security interests given these conditions and the end of the cold war it seemed clear that the pentagon was entering a period of potentially profound change aspin looked like a sound choice to manage this change as it turned out aspin faced difficulties from the beginning a serious heart ailment put him in the hospital for several days in february after barely a month in office a month later he was back in the hospital for implantation of a heart pacemaker even so he had to deal immediately with the highly charged question of homosexuals in the military a controversy left over from his predecessor dick cheney s tenure that had become an issue in the campaign when clinton had promised to end discrimination against homosexuals during his confirmation hearings aspin indicated that he would take action quickly and on entering office he presented a plan to joint chiefs of staff and presented a timetable leading to an order dealing with the matter this plan provoked widespread protest from all sides on the issue gender and sexuality in the military the fallout from the controversy wounded both clinton and aspin politically and dragged on until december when after many months of equivocation confusion and more controversy aspin released new regulations known as the do nt ask do nt tell policy on homosexual conduct in the armed forces applicants for the services would not be asked about their sexual orientation and homosexual orientation would not disqualify anyone from service unless manifested by homosexual conduct military personnel would be judged on suitability for service not sexual orientation separation from the service would be based on homosexual acts same sex marriage or statements by an individual that he or she was bisexual or homosexual with the person accorded the opportunity to rebut the presumption of homosexual acts dod criminal investigation or law enforcement organizations would not investigate solely to determine questions would not be included in personnel security questionnaires finally service members would be informed of dod policy on sexual conduct during their training this compromise policy issued after an agonizing and divisive public debate did not completely satisfy any of the concerned parties also on the social side aspin had to deal with the volatile question of servicewomen in combat in april he announced a revised policy on the assignment of women in the armed forces the services were to allow women to compete for assignments in combat aircraft the navy was to open additional ships to women and draft a proposal for congress to remove existing legislative barriers to the assignment of women to combat vessels and the army and marine corps were to look for opportunities for women to serve in such components as field artillery and air defense this was a response to recommendations made by an ad hoc committee chaired by barbara s pope appointed in the wake of the tailhook scandal meanwhile secretary of the air force sheila defense budget and bottomup review development of the defense budget for fy beginning on october remained aspin s biggest task the budget process proved more complicated than usual owing to clinton s campaign pledge to reduce dod funding and to a bottomup review of the military structure ordered by aspin shortly after he took office the end of the cold war and the consequent opportunity to cut military costs clearly called for the kind of reevaluation of ends and means that the bottomup review might contribute a pentagon steering group chaired by under secretary of defense acquisition and technology john m deutch and including representatives from various osd offices the joint staff and the services conducted the review because of the growing threat of regional conflicts aspin wanted to have a strong capability to carry out limited military operations including peacekeeping and to maintain a strong peacetime presence of us forces around the world the bottomup review report which aspin released in september took into account strategy formulation the report projected a reduced force structure still capable of fighting and winning two simultaneous major regional conflicts forces would include active army divisions carrier battle groups to attack submarines and about ships active marine brigades and active and reserve air force fighter wings the report also called for additional prepositioned equipment and airliftsealift capacity improved antiarmor and precisionguided munitions and enhanced army national guard combat brigade readiness the conclusions of the bottomup review influenced the development of the fy defense budget although detailed work on the budget had begun as soon as aspin took office in march aspin introduced a fy budget proposal costing billion about billion below current levels and reflecting cuts in the military services similar to those later included in the bottomup review to some critics of high military spending aspin s budget plan differed little from that of the bush administration in the fall of aspin began to tell the white house that the review would exceed the more than trillion projected by the clinton administration in december he put the anticipated shortfall at no less than billion the consequence of inaccurate inflation estimates a military pay raise and failure to account for other pentagon costs including peacekeeping operations the size of the force needed to meet the two regional wars scenario contributed to the projected budget shortfall furthermore aspin was on record as favoring the use of us troops in regional conflicts as opposed to other decisionmakers including general colin powell chairman of the jcs aspin s departure from office early in left further decisions on the defense budget to his successor the final fy budget amounted to a little under billion in total obligational authority like his predecessors carlucci and cheney aspin faced the perennial issue of base closures which could also affect the defense budget in march he released a plan to close an additional large military installations and to shrink or consolidate other sites beginning in a new defense base closure and realignment commission approved the proposal which went into effect when congress accepted it as a package the sdi program also held important budget implications in may aspin announced the end of the star wars era explaining that the collapse of the soviet union had determined the fate of sdi he renamed the strategic defense initiative organization as the ballistic missile defense organization bmdo and established its priorities as theater and national missile defense and useful followon technologies aspin s assignment of responsibility for bmdo to the under secretary of defense acquisition and technology signified the downgrading of the program global crises and initiatives while seeking solutions to the complex budget and force structure issues aspin found himself beset with difficult regional problems and conflicts that demanded decisions and action in nato he pushed the ussponsored partnership for peace program to bring together nato members and nonmembers for military activities including training maneuvers equipment sharing search and rescue antiterrorist efforts environmental brussels in december the nato defense ministers agreed to consider for future alliance membership those nonnato nations that participated in the program russian president boris yeltsin warned that attempts to bring eastern european nations into nato would threaten his country s strategic interests and endanger hopes for the former soviet bloc s reconciliation with the west yeltsin argued that enlarging nato would reawaken old russian concerns about encirclement and possibly weaken the cause of democratic reform the unstable situation in haiti where elected president jeanbertrand aristide had been ousted from office by the military in september presented another regional problem the united states pressured the military government to restore aristide in july the haitian military regime agreed to reinstate aristide by october but then refused to step down in october in an effort clinton approved even though aspin opposed it the united states sent the uss harlan county carrying troops to portauprince haiti s capital met by a hostile mob of armed haitians the ship turned away without attempting an effort to professionalize the haitian military and undertake civil assistance projects some observers attacked aspin for not taking a harder stand in the administration against an action he opposed and then aborting the effort in the face of local opposition during aspin s term the us was concerned that communist north korea might have underway a nuclear weapons development program this gave way to alarm when that country refused to allow full inspection of nuclear sites in november north korea demanded that the united states and south korea cancel a planned joint training exercise as a precondition during discussions on the nuclear issue aspin rejected this demand and announced that the united states would suspend plans to withdraw its troops gradually from the peninsula in the persian gulf area iraq remained a problem in june two us navy ships fired tomahawk missiles against the headquarters building of iraq s intelligence service in baghdad in response to evidence of a plot to assassinate former president bush during a visit to kuwait aspin described the attack as a wake up call report on the us military performance during the gulf war the result of a study undertaken by the house armed services committee when he chaired it the report concluded that the us central command had greatly exaggerated damage done to iraqi military equipment such as tanks and naval vessels by air strikes aspin also had to consider the question of health problems of us service personnel who participated in the action against iraq he announced that a preliminary review disclosed no connection between chemical weapon agents and the reported health problems nevertheless he formed a panel of outside experts to examine the issue further the worsening crisis in bosnia commanded attention and demanded some kind of us response aspin did not favor using ground forces to intervene in the civil war involving the bosnian muslims serbs and croats but thought that the use of sophisticated weapons was a more reasonable option eventually the administration decided on an airdrop of humanitarian aid even though aspin did not favor the plan somalia turned out to be clans had engulfed the country since direct us involvement begun in august provided food through a military airlift and other means to the people of somalia in december shortly before aspin became secretary of defense the united states joined a new unified task force unitaf to provide security as well as food relief the united states sent troops to somalia to join about others from more than nations unitaf operating until may restored order in somalia and distributed food widely in may operation somalia unosom began in an effort to create conditions to enable the somalis to rebuild the country the united states cut its troops in somalia to some and then added army rangers in august at that time confronting criticism at home that the united states was getting more deeply involved in the factional violence in somalia without a clear rationale aspin explained that us troops would remain until order had been restored in mogadishu somalia s capital and effective police forces were operating in the country s major cities at the same time the united states increased its military efforts against a leading somali warlord mohamed farrah aidid criticism and final days in office in september general powell asked aspin to approve the request of the us commander in somalia for tanks armored vehicles and ac spectre gunships for his forces aspin turned down the request shortly thereafter aidid s forces in mogadishu killed us soldiers and wounded more than in attacks that also resulted in the shooting down of two us helicopters and the capture of one pilot see the battle of mogadishu in the face of severe congressional criticism aspin admitted that in view of what had happened he had made a mistake but stated that the request for armored equipment had been made within the context of delivering humanitarian aid to somalia rather than protecting troops in an appearance before a congressional committee to answer questions about the somalia disaster aspin made an unfavorable impression and appeared his performance the president publicly defended aspin but made clear that the white house was not involved in the decision not to send armor reinforcements to somalia several members of congress called on clinton to ask for aspin s resignation on december president clinton announced aspin s resignation for personal reasons given the problems that aspin encountered during his short term most obviously the losses in mogadishu observers assumed that the president had asked him to step down speculation in the media centered on the somalia embarrassment and on aspin s differences with the office of management and budget over how much the defense budget should be cut the secretary s health problems may well have also been a factor one news magazine stated that aspin s major handicap was neither his famously unmilitary bearing nor his inability to discipline himself or the enormous pentagon bureaucracy it is his politician s instinct for the middle ground on defense issues aspin continued to serve as secretary of defense until february when william j perry leaving his position aspin then joined the faculty of marquette university s international affairs program in washington and was affiliated with the washingtonbased thinktank the center for strategic and international studies in march he became a member of the commission on roles and missions and in may clinton chose him to be chairman of the president s foreign intelligence advisory board in march he began work as chairman of still another study group this on the roles and capabilities of the intelligence community aspin had had increasing difficulty during the last years of his life with a congenital heart condition asymmetric septal hypertrophy hypertrophicobstructive cardiomyopathy it necessitated hospitalization during his tenure as defense secretary with placement of a pacemaker his cardiac disorder was complicated in may by a cerebrovascular accident stroke which resulted in dr aspin s death on may in washington dc he was interred at brookfield s wisconsin memorial park cemetery marquette university named its washington

 wmd conjecture in the aftermath of the invasion of iraq concerns the failure by the united nations monitoring verification and inspection commission unmovic and the usled iraq survey group isg to locate undeclared stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction both before and after the invasion of iraq the united states effectively terminated the search effort for unconventional weaponry in january and the iraq intelligence commission concluded that the judgements of the us intelligence community about the continued existence of weapons of mass destruction and an associated military program were wrong other investigative bodies continue to examine material evidence relating to past programs major controversy was generated when prohibited weapons were not found some observers reason saddam hussein miscalculated by deceiving intelligence services into believing he had retained active stockpiles while others remain convinced contrary to the findings of the isg that such weapons existed and continue to exist alternative conspiracy theories and conjecture have been put forward to explain their possible whereabouts stockpiles still hidden conjecture appearing on msnbc paul wolfowitz insisted the weapons picture was without change since iraq had a lot of time to move stuff a lot of time to hide stuff three weeks later lord butler of brockwell said upon conclusion of the butler review iraq is a very big place there is a lot of sand it is impractical to dig up the whole of iraq but for somebody to say we are absolutely certain that there is nothing there would be a very rash and unfounded thing to say in our judgment former pentagon investigator dave gaubatz alleges he found hidden wmd sites in but that his reports were ignored and then destroyed as part of a coverup by the cia department of defense and bush administration this allowed a group of russians iraqis and syrians to dig up the wmds and move them to syria this idea was dismissed by wired and salon who pointed out that it required president bush military a massive conspiracy theory the final report of the iraq survey group by charles a duelfer special adviser on iraqi weapons to the cia concluded that any stockpiles had been destroyed long before the war and that transfers to syria were unlikely stockpiles transported to another country conjecture rumors have abounded of possible transportation of iraqi weapons of mass destruction to foreign countries namely syria lebanon and iran in the weeks before operation iraqi freedom began john bolton told the house committee on foreign affairs that these reports give cause for concern alleged russian involvement romanian intelligence defector ion mihai pacepa alleged that an operation for the removal of chemical weapons was prepared by the soviet union for libya and that he was told over thirty years ago by romanian president nicolae ceauescu kgb chairman yury andropov and later yevgeny primakov about the existence of a similar plan for iraq it is perfectly obvious wrote pacepa that the russian gru agency helped saddam hussein to destroy hide of iraq in after all russia helped saddam get his hands on them in the first place john loftus director of the intelligence summit said in the november issue of frontpage magazine that many documents from iraq point to wmd being transferred to other countries such as syria as stated in more detail in my full report the british ukrainian and american secret services all believed that the russians had organized a last minute evacuation of cw and bw stockpiles from baghdad to syria his researchers allegedly found a document ordering the concealment of nuclear weapons equipment in storage facilities under the euphrates river a few weeks before the invasion syria former iraqi general georges sada claimed that in late saddam had ordered all of his stockpiles to be moved to syria he appeared on fox news hannity amp colmes in january to discuss his book saddam s secrets how an iraqi general defied and survived saddam hussein november sada said saddam took advantage of the june zeyzoun dam disaster in syria by forming an air bridge loading them onto cargo aircraft and flying them out of the country they were moved by air and by ground sorties by jumbo and were moved after they were converted to cargo aircraft they were moved to syria in january nizar nayuf a syrian journalist who moved to western europe said in a letter to the dutch newspaper de telegraaf that he knows the three sites where iraq s weapons of mass destruction are kept inside syria according to nayuf s witness described as a senior source inside syrian military intelligence he had known for two years iraq s wmd are in tunnels dug under the town of albaida near the city of hama in northern syria in the village of tal snan north of the town of salamija where there is a big syrian air force camp and in the south of homs city nayouf also wrote that the transfer of iraqi wmd to syria was organized by the commanders of saddam hussein s iraqi republican guard including general shalish with the help of assef shawkat bashar assad s cousin shoakat is the ceo of bhaha an importexport company owned by the assad family us secretary of state condoleezza rice responded to this accusation by saying i do nt think we are at the point that we can make a judgment on this issue there has nt been any hard evidence that such a thing happened but obviously we re going to follow up every lead and it would be a serious problem if that in fact did happen a similar claim was made by lieutenant general moshe yaalon a former israeli officer who served as chief of staff of the israel defense forces from july to june in april he was quoted as saying that perhaps they transferred them to another country such as syria general yaalon told he saddam transferred the chemical agents from iraq to syria the fall middle east quarterly also reported israeli prime minister ariel sharon as having said in a december appearance on israel s channel chemical and biological weapons which saddam is endeavoring to conceal have been moved from iraq to syria in february ali ibrahim altikriti a former iraqi general who defected shortly before the gulf war in gave an interview to ryan mauro author of death to america the unreported battle of iraq and founder of worldthreats in the interview altikriti who was once known as the butcher of basra told mauro i know saddam s weapons are in syria due to certain military deals that were made going as far back as the late s that dealt with the event that either capitals were threatened with being overrun by an enemy nation not to mention i have discussed this indepth with various contacts of mine who have confirmed what i already knew at going to come for his weapons and the united states was nt going to just let this go like they did in the original gulf war he knew that he had lied for this many years and wanted to maintain legitimacy with the pan arab nationalists he also has wanted since he took power to embarrass the west and this was the perfect opportunity to do so after saddam denied he had such weapons why would he use them or leave them readily available to be found that would only legitimize president bush whom he has a personal grudge against what we are witnessing now is many who opposed the war to begin with are rallying around saddam saying we overthrew a sovereign leader based on a lie about wmd this is exactly what saddam wanted and predicted altikriti s interview was featured prominently on conservative web sites such as frontpagemag and worldnetdaily but did not receive main stream press attention salon magazine editor alex koppelman doubts both sada s and altikriti s story arguing iraq in would have nullified any previous military deals the iraq survey group was told that saddam hussein periodically removed guards from the syrian border and replaced them with his intelligence agents who then supervised the movement of banned materials between syria and iraq according to two unnamed defense sources that spoke with the washington times they reported heavy traffic in large trucks on the border before the united states invasion earlier in a telephone interview with the daily telegraph the former head of the iraqi survey group david kay said we know from some of the interrogations of former iraqi officials that a lot of material went to syria before the war including some components of saddam s wmd program precisely what went to syria and what has happened to it is a major issue that needs to be resolved satellite imagery also picked up activity on the iraqsyria border before and during the invasion james r clapper who headed the national imagery and mapping agency in mostly civilian trucks moving from iraq into syria clapper suggested the trucks may have contained materiel related to iraq s wmd programs isg formed a special working group to investigate and consider these claims charles duelfer head of inspectorate at time of publication summarized the group s conclusion based on the evidence available at present isg judged that it was unlikely that an official transfer of wmd material from iraq to syria took place however isg was unable to rule out unofficial movement of limited wmdrelated materials jordan in april jordanian officials announced that they had thwarted a planned chemical attack on jordan s intelligence headquarters by alqaedalinked terrorists that could have killed people acting under the orders of abumusab alzarqawi selfprofessed leader of al qaeda in iraq officials said the plotters entered jordan from syria with trucks filled with tons of explosives syrian officials denied the claims us officials stated there was debate within the cia and other us agencies about whether the intent was to create quantity of sulfuric acid was seized which can be used as a blister agent but is more commonly used to increase the size of conventional explosions former iraqi national security advisor georges sada claimed that the chemicals seized by the jordanian authorities were smuggled out of the iraq to syria before the usled invasion in and that the syrian regime had given the chemical weapons to alqaeda however the syrian regime was strongly antiislamist having previously defeated the muslim brotherhood of syria in the islamic uprising in syria and in the syrian civil war islamists including alqaeda in iraq fought against the syrian regime in february a jordanian military court sentenced nine men including iraq s alqaeda leader abu musab alzarqawi to death for plotting the attack lawyers for the men had argued that confessions had been obtained during two weeks of torture zarqawi admitted his group was behind the plot but denied that chemical weapons were to be used two men were jailed for up to years and two world tribune reported in august that iraq s wmd may have been moved to lebanon s heavily fortified bekaa valley according to the story united states intelligence identified a stream of tractortrailer trucks moving from iraq through syria to lebanon in the weeks before invasion worldnetdaily followed up the same story in may adding affirmatively much if not all of iraq s biological and chemical weapons assets are being protected by syria with iranian help in the bekaa valley former united states deputy undersecretary of defense john a shaw also alleged that the russians played an extensive role in transporting materials into both syria and lebanon to prevent the united states from discovering them shaw claimed trucks were transporting materials to syria and returning empty in addition containers with warnings painted on them were moved to a beirut hospital basement they were moved by russian spetsnaz special forces units out of uniform that were specifically sent to iraq to move the weaponry and eradicate any evidence of its existence the people s wmd equipment principal deputy assistant secretary of defense for public affairs lawrence di rita called shaw s charges absurd and without any foundation dirita noted that shaw has been directed on several occasions to produce evidence of his wideranging and fantastic charges and provide it to the dod inspector general to my knowledge he has not done so in reply to official denials shaw claimed that the bush administration had made efforts to cover up the intelligence data that he had revealed larry dirita made sure that this story would never grow legs he said insisting the russian cleanup operation was a masterpiece of military camouflage and deception former russian foreign intelligence director evgeny primakov rejected the story telling kommersant that all of shaw s sensational revelations are complete nonsense iran in addition to syria and lebanon former deputy commander of us central command lt general michael delong claimed that some weapons of mass destruction were transported to iran speaking to wabc radio he remarked i do know for lebanon and iran we also know that before then they buried some of the weapons of mass destruction john loftus also saw information that led him to believe iran had acquired illicit material in a story on dave gaubatz the daily mail s melanie phillips quoted loftus as saying saddam had the last laugh and donated his secret stockpile to benefit iran s nuclear weapons programme phillips followed up her report by reproducing a letter from john loftus calling for a congressional investigation of john negroponte whom he accused of concealing the information salon magazine columnist glenn greenwald accused philips of promoting a moronic and deranged conspiracy theory pakistan former head of the indian counterterrorism division and member of the national security advisory board b raman suggests aq khan may have assisted in shifting iraq s wmd to pakistan writing for the south asia analysis group he cites unnamed pakistani sources claiming khan agreed to aid iraqi intelligence officials who sought his help in having some falling into the hands of the un inspectors according to raman pervez musharraf has been working hard to see that this is not played up in the pakistani media indian ocean in the jerusalem post reported that iraq s wmd might be found on cargo ships that were cruising aimlessly around the indian ocean iraqi miscalculation saddam lied to retain power on december saddam hussein was captured by us forces during operation red dawn time online edition reports that in his first interrogation he was asked whether iraq had any wmd according to an official his reply was no of course not the us dreamed them up itself to have a reason to go to war with us the interrogator continued along this line said the official asking if you had no weapons of mass destruction then why not let the un inspectors into your facilities saddams reply we did nt want them to later through interrogations in us custody saddam revealed that immediately prior to the start of the us invasion he had announced to his generals that there were no wmd one theory given currency by charles duelfer is that saddam sent out different signals to different people in order to keep them confused and help stay in power saddam was misled according to the guardian in late british officials in whitehall began circulating a theory that saddam hussein and his senior advisers may have been hoodwinked by lowerranking officers into believing that iraq really did possess weapons of mass destruction and as most of the informers for british intelligence were the same highlevel advisers close to saddam the british were also fooled the paper adds that this hypothesis is open to the interpretation that the government is searching for an excuse however implausible for failure to discover any wmd in iraq commenting on the findings of the butler intelligence review six months later usa today few reliable human sources inside saddam s regime documents since captured inside iraq by coalition forces are reported to reveal saddam s frustration with weapon inspections meeting transcripts record him saying to senior aides we do nt have anything hidden in another he remarks when is this going to end and another do nt think for a minute that we still have wmd we have nothing

 dryandra sessilis knight domin b sessilis var cordata br b sessilis var cygnorum br b sessilis var flabellifolia banksia sessilis commonly known as parrot bush is a species of shrub or tree in the plant genus banksia in the proteaceae family it had been known as dryandra sessilis until when the genus dryandra was sunk into banksia widespread throughout southwest western australia it is found on sandy soils over laterite or limestone often as an understorey plant in open forest woodland or shrubland encountered as a shrub or small tree up to m ft in height it has prickly dark green leaves and domeshaped creamyellow flowerheads flowering from winter through to late spring it provides a key source of foodboth the months and species diversity is reduced in areas where there is little or no parrot bush occurring several species of honeyeater some species of native bee and the european honey bee seek out and consume the nectar while the longbilled black cockatoo and australian ringneck eat the seed the life cycle of banksia sessilis is adapted to regular bushfires killed by fire and regenerating by seed afterwards each shrub generally produces many flowerheads and a massive amount of seed it can recolonise disturbed areas and may grow in thickets banksia sessilis has a somewhat complicated taxonomic history it was collected from king george sound in and described by robert brown in as dryandra floribunda a name by which it was known for many years however joseph knight had published the name josephia sessilis in which had precedence due to its earlier date and the specific name was formalised in four varieties are recognised potential and none of the varieties are commonly seen in cultivation a profuse producer of nectar b sessilis is valuable to the beekeeping industry description toolong banksia sessilis grows as an upright shrub or small tree up to m ft high without a lignotuber in most varieties new stems are covered in soft fine hairs that are lost with maturity but new stems of b sessilis var flabellifolia are usually hairless leaves are bluegreen or dark green their shape differs by variety in var cygnorum and var flabellifolia they are wedgeshaped with teeth only near the apex in var cordata they are wedgeshaped but with teeth along the entire margin and in var sessilis they are somewhat broader at the base sometimes almost oblong in shape leaf size ranges from to cm in in width they may be sessile that is growing directly from the stem without a petiole or on a petiole up to cm in long the inflorescences are cream or yellow and occur in domed heads to cm in wide situated at the end of a stem each head contains from to individual flowers surrounded at the base by a whorl of short involucral bracts as with most other proteaceae individual flowers consist of a tubular perianth made up of four united tepals and one long wiry style the style end is initially trapped inside the upper perianth parts but breaks free at anthesis in b sessilis the perianth is straight to mm in long and pale yellow the style is slightly shorter also straight and creamcoloured thus in b sessilis unlike many other banksia species the a showy flower colour change one field study found that anthesis took place over four days with the outer flowers opening first and moving inwards flowering mostly takes place from july to november although var sessilis can start as early as may after flowering the flower parts wither and fall away and up to four follicles develop in the receptable the base of the flower head young follicles are covered in a fine fur but this is lost as they mature mature follicles are ovoid in shape and measure cm in in length most follicles open as soon as they are ripe revealing their contents a woody seed separator and up to two winged seeds discovery and naming specimens of b sessilis were first collected by scottish surgeon archibald menzies during the visit of the vancouver expedition to king george sound in september and october no firm location or collection date can be ascribed to menzies specimens georges sound mr arch menzies and menzies journal indicates that he collected over a wide area visiting a different location every day from september to october in addition to b sessilis menzies collected plant material of b pellaeifolia and seeds of at least four more banksia species this was therefore an important early collection for the genus only seven species of which had previously been collected menzies seed specimens were sent to england from sydney in but his plant material remained with him for the duration of the voyage during which some material was lost on his return to england in the surviving specimens were deposited into the herbarium of sir joseph banks where they lay undescribed for many years the next collection was made in december when king george sound was visited by hms investigator under the command of matthew flinders on board were botanist robert brown botanical three men gathered material for brown s specimen collection including specimens of b sessilis although neither brown s nor good s diary can be used to assign a precise location or date for their discovery of the species good also made a separate seed collection which included b sessilis and the species was drawn by bauer like nearly all of his field drawings of proteaceae bauer s original field sketch of b sessilis was destroyed in a hofburg fire in a painting based on the drawing survives however at the natural history museum in london on returning to england in brown began preparing an account of his australian plant specimens in september with brown s account still far from finished swedish botanist jonas dryander asked him to prepare a separate paper on the proteaceae so that he could use the genera erected by brown in a new edition of hortus kewensis brown immediately began a read to the linnean society of london a monograph on the family entitled on the proteaceae of jussieu among the eighteen new genera presented was one that brown named josephia in honour of banks brown s paper was approved for printing in may but did not appear in print until march the following year in the meantime joseph knight published on the cultivation of the plants belonging to the natural order of proteeae which appeared to draw heavily on brown s unpublished material without permission and in most cases without attribution it contained the first publication of brown s josephia for which two species were listed the first josephia sessilis was based on one of menzies specimens this species discovered by mr a menzies on the west coast of new holland is not unlike some varieties of ilex aquifolium and now in his majesty s collection at kew stated but it is universally accepted that it comes from the latin sessilis sessile stalkless in reference to the sessile leaves of this species blame for the alleged plagiarism largely fell on richard salisbury who had been present at brown s readings and is thought to have provided much of the material for knight s book salisbury was ostracized by the botanical community which undertook to ignore his work as much as possible by the time brown s monograph appeared in print brown had exchanged the generic name josephia for dryandra giving the name dryandra floribunda to knight s josephia sessilis as there were then no firm rules pertaining to priority of publication brown s name was accepted and remained the current name for over a century another significant early collection was the apparent discovery of the species at the swan river in in that year the colonial botanist of new south exploring expedition under james stirling among the plants that fraser found growing on the south side of the river entrance was a beautiful species of dryandra which was probably this species over the course of the th century the principle of priority in naming gradually came to be accepted by botanists as did the need for a mechanism by which names in current usage could be conserved against archaic or obscure prior names by the s dryandra rbr was effectively conserved against josephia knight although a mechanism for formal conservation was not put in place until brown s specific name however was not conserved and karel domin overturned dryandra floribunda rbr by transferring knight s name into dryandra as dryandra sessilis knight domin in this name was current until when all dryandra species were transferred into banksia by austin mast and kevin thiele banksia sessilis knight armast amp krthiele common names the first common names for this species were literal translations of the scientific names when published as josephia sessilis in it was given the common name sessile josephia brown did not offer a common name when he published dryandra floribunda in but later that year the hortus kewensis translated it as many flowered dryandra this name was also used when the plant was featured in curtis s botanical magazine in in australia the names prickly banksia and shavingbrush flower were offered up by emily pelloe in the latter because when in bud the flower very much resembles a shavingbrush shavingbrush flower was still in use as late as the s the name hollyleaved dryandra was used when the plant was featured as western mail of and this was taken up by william blackall in and was still in use as late as meanwhile gardner used the name parrot bush in a name derived from the observation that the blooms attract parrots by which the species was already wellknown to beekeepers this name was widely adopted and since has been in almost exclusive usage the only indigenous names reported for the plant are budjan and butyak these were published by ian abbott in his aboriginal names for plant species in southwestern australia with abbott suggesting that the latter name should be preferred but with the orthography pudjak however abbott sources these names to george fletcher moore s a descriptive vocabulary of the language of the aborigines which in fact attributes these names to the species dryandra fraseri now banksia fraseri error or introduced an error of his own taxonomy infrageneric placement brown s monograph did not include an infrageneric classification of dryandra and neither did his prodromus published later that year in however he introduced the first taxonomic arrangement of dryandra placing d floribunda in section dryandra verae along with most other species because its follicles contain a single seed separator dryandra verae was renamed eudryandra by carl meissner in eleven years later meissner published a new arrangement retaining d floribunda in d sect eudryandra and further placing it in the unranked subgroup ilicinae because of the similarity of its leaves to those of ilex holly in george bentham published a revised arrangement in his eudryandra but abandoned almost all of meissner s unranked groups including ilicinae d floribunda was instead placed in d ser floribundae along with four other species with small mostly terminal flowers left exposed by their having unusually short floral leaves bentham s arrangement stood for over a hundred years eventually replaced in by the arrangement of alex george section eudryandra was promoted to subgenus rank but replaced by the autonym d subg dryandra d sessilis as this species was now called was retained in d ser floribundae but alone as the series was redefined as containing only those taxa that apparently lack floral bracts altogether the placement of d sessilis in george s arrangement with and amendments may be summarised as banksia ser dryandra d subg dryandra d ser floribundae d sessilis now b sessilis d sessilis var sessilis now b sessilis var sessilis d sessilis var flabellifolia now b sessilis var flabellifolia d sessilis var cordata now b sessilis var cordata d sessilis var cygnorum now b sessilis var cygnorum armatae d ser marginatae d ser folliculosae d ser acrodontae d ser capitellatae d ser ilicinae d ser dryandra d ser foliosae d ser decurrentes d ser tenuifoliae d ser runcinatae d ser triangulares d ser aphragma d d ser inusitatae d ser subulatae d ser gymnocephalae d ser plumosae d ser concinnae d ser obvallatae d ser pectinatae d ser acuminatae d ser niveae d subg hemiclidia d subg diplophragma george s arrangement remained current until when austin mast and kevin thiele transferred dryandra into banksia they also published for the banksia taxa having spoonshaped cotyledons thus redefining b subg banksia as comprising those that do not they were not ready however to tender an infrageneric arrangement encompassing dryandra so as an interim measure they transferred dryandra into banksia at series rank this minimised the nomenclatural disruption of the transfer but also caused george s rich infrageneric arrangement to be set aside thus under the interim arrangements implemented by mast and thiele b sessilis is placed in b subg banksia ser dryandra varieties four varieties are recognised b sessilis var sessilis is an autonym that encompasses the type material of the species this is the most widespread variety occurring from regans ford and moora in the north southeast to albany and kulin its bluegreen leaves are cuneate wedgeshaped or oblong and are usually two to three centimetres long but may reach five b sessilis var cordata was published as dryandra floribunda var cordata by carl meissner in in george bentham published d floribunda var major but this is now considered a taxonomic synonym of b sessilis var cordata it has larger inflorescences than var sessilis as well as larger dark green rather than blue green leaves it is found in the state s far southwest between capes leeuwin and naturaliste and east to walpole and grows on sandy soils over limestone b sessilis var cygnorum has its roots in michel gandoger s publication of two new species names in he published dryandra cygnorum in both of these were found to refer to the same taxon which alex george gave variety rank as dryandra sessilis var cygnorum the term cygnorum is latin for swan and relates to the swan river which runs past the suburb of melville where the type material was collected it has smaller dark green leaves only cm in long and cm in wide whose teeth are limited to the distal part of the leaf the range is along the western australian coastline from dongara southwards past fremantle and east to lake indoon and kings park b sessilis var flabellifolia was published by george in the type specimen having been collected northwest of northampton in the northernmost of the four varieties it is found from kalbarri south to geraldton and northampton there are some scattered records further south towards moora its specific name is derived from the folium leaf its leaves are fan shaped with a long toothless lower margin and a toothed end its stems are hairless unlike the other varieties distribution and habitat banksia sessilis is endemic to the southwest botanical province a floristic province renowned as a biodiversity hotspot located in the southwest corner of western australia this area has a mediterranean climate with wet winters and hot dry summers b sessilis occurs throughout much of the province ranging from kalbarri in the north south to cape leeuwin east along the south coast as far as bremer bay and inland to wongan hills and kulin it thus spans a wide range of climates occurring in all but the semiarid areas well inland it is also absent from the karri forest in the cool wet southwest corner of the province but even there b sessilis var cordata occurs along the coast that its soil be welldrained like most dryandras it grows well in lateritic soils and gravels although this species is also found in deep sand sand over laterite and sand over limestone it also occurs in a range of vegetation complexes including coastal and kwongan heath tall shrubland woodland and open forest it is a common understorey plant in drier areas of jarrah forest and forms thickets on limestone soils of the swan coastal plain banksia sessilis sets a large amount of seed and is an aggressive coloniser of disturbed and open areas for example it has been recorded colonising gravel pits in the darling scarp nothing is known of the conditions that affect its distribution as its biogeography is as yet unstudied an assessment of the potential impact of climate change on this species found that its range is likely to contract by half in the face of severe change but unlikely to change much under less severe scenarios ecology as food the important component of the diet of a number of species of honeyeater in one study b sessilis was found to be the main source of nectar for all six species studied namely the tawnycrowned honeyeater gliciphila melanops whitecheeked honeyeater phylidonyris niger western spinebill acanthorhynchus superciliosus brown honeyeater lichmera indistincta brownheaded honeyeater melithreptus brevirostris and black honeyeater certhionyx niger moreover b sessilis played an important role in their distributions with species that feed only on nectar occurring only where b sessilis occurs and remaining for longest at sites where b sessilis is most abundant other honeyeaters that have been recorded feeding on b sessilis include the red wattlebird anthochaera carunculata western wattlebird a phylidonyris novaehollandiae furthermore a study of bird species diversity in wandoo woodland around bakers hill found that honeyeater species and numbers were much reduced in forest that lacked a banksia sessilis understory the plant is a key source of nectar and insects during the winter months a field study in jarrah forest km south of jarrahdale where b sessilis grows in scattered clumps found that western wattlebirds and new holland honeyeaters sought out groups of plants with the greatest numbers of new inflorescences particularly those one or two days after anthesis where nectar yield was highest the birds likely recognises these by visual clues banksia sessilis is also a source of food for the australian ringneck barnardius zonarius and the longbilled black cockatoo calyptorhynchus baudinii which tear open the follicles and consume the seeds the introduced european honey bee apis mellifera has as have seven species of native bee comprising four species of hylaeus including the banksia bee h alcyoneus two of leioproctus and a lasioglossum life cycle honeyeaters are clearly the most important pollination vector as inflorescences from which honeyeaters are excluded generally do not set any fruit moreover honeyeaters have been observed moving from tree to tree with significant loads of b sessilis pollen on their foreheads beaks and throats having acquired it by brushing against pollen presenters while foraging for nectar experiments have shown that some of this pollen may be subsequently deposited on stigmas during later foraging the flowers of b sessilis have a number of adaptations that serve to encourage outcrossing firstly they are protandrous a flower s pollen is released around hours before it becomes itself receptive to pollen by which time around half of its pollen has lost its viability matches the period during which the flower is sexually active so honeyeaters are enticed to visit at the most opportune time for pollination this has proven an effective strategy almost all pollen is removed within two to three hours of presentation in addition honeyeaters tend to move between inflorescences on different plants rather than between inflorescences on the same plant at least in high density sites these factors combine to make it fairly unusual for a flower to be fertilised by its own pollen when selffertilisation does occur whether autogamous or geitonogamous the resulting seed is almost always aborted and the species ultimately achieves an outcrossing rate of nearly at least in high density sites limited data for lowdensity sites where honeyeaters move from plant to plant less frequently suggest more of a mixedmating system the species is a prolific flowerer and this combined with the very high outcrossing rates results in massive seed output in one study the average number of seeds produced per b average of for b dallanneyi this exceptionally high fecundity can be understood as an adaption to regular bushfire most banksia species can be placed in one of two broad groups according to their response to fire resprouters survive fire resprouting from a lignotuber or more rarely epicormic buds protected by thick bark reseeders are killed by fire but populations are rapidly reestablished through the recruitment of seedlings b sessilis is a reseeder but it differs from many other reseeders in not being strongly serotinous the vast majority of seeds are released spontaneously in autumn even in the absence of fire the degree of serotiny is a matter of some contradiction in the scientific literature it has been treated as serotinous weakly serotinous and nonserotinous regardless of the terminology used the massive spontaneous seed output of b sessilis is its primary survival strategy and is so effective that the this strategy together with its relatively long juvenile period makes it vulnerable to overly frequent fire seeds of b sessilis are shortlived and must germinate in the winter following their release or they die they are also very sensitive to heating and thus killed by bushfire in one study just seconds in boiling water reduced the germination rate from to and not a single seed survived one minute of boiling like most other proteaceae b sessilis has compound cluster roots roots with dense clusters of short lateral rootlets that form a mat in the soil just below the leaf litter these exude a range of carboxylates including citrate malonate and trans aconitate that act as acid phosphatase allowing the absorption of nutrients from nutrientpoor soils such as the phosphorusdeficient native soils of australia disease banksia sessilis is highly susceptible to dieback caused by the introduced plant pathogen causes root rot in fact it is so reliably susceptible that it is considered a good indicator species for the presence of the disease most highly susceptible species quickly become locally extinct in infected areas and in the absence of hosts the disease itself eventually dies out however b sessilis being an aggressive coloniser of disturbed and open ground often colonises old disease sites the new colonies are themselves infected and thus p cinnamomi survives at these sites indefinitely the application of phosphite inhibits growth of p cinnamomi in b sessilis but does not kill the pathogen in one study a foliar spray containing phosphite inhibited the growth of p cinnamomi by over in plants infected with b sessilis two weeks after spraying and by in plants infected one year after spraying yet most plants infected shortly before or after spraying were dead days later while nearly all days phosphite is not known to affect plant growth but has been shown to reduce pollen fertility one study recorded fertility reductions of up to and in a separate experiment fertility reductions that persisted for more than a year infection of coastal stands of b sessilis by the fungus armillaria luteobubalina has also been recorded the apparent infection rate of is quite slow compared to the progress of other armillaria species through pine plantations cultivation history it is not known whether the seed collection sent to the royal botanic gardens kew by menzies in included seeds of b sessilis but if it did then it did not germinate the species was successfully germinated however from good s seed which was sent from sydney on june and arrived at kew the following year according to brown s notes it was flowering at kew by may and in it kewensis as flowering most part of the year in a flowering specimen from the nursery of malcolm and sweet was featured as plate in curtis s botanical magazine by the s the species was in cultivation in continental europe it was recorded as being cultivated in the garden of karl von hgel in vienna austria in and in it was listed amongst the rare plants that had been introduced into belgium along with several hundred other native australian plants it was exhibited at plant shows held at utrecht and haarlem in the netherlands in the s and s by this time however english gardeners had already begun to lose interest in the proteaceae and by the end of the th century european interest in the cultivation of proteaceae was virtually nonexistent in australia there was little interest in the cultivation of australian plants until the midth century despite a longstanding appreciation of their beauty as wildflowers for example in and the western of western australian wildflowers including a painting of b sessilis these were subsequently republished in charles gardner s west australian wild flowers one of the first published colour photographs of the species appeared in william blackall s how to know western australian wildflowers but this publication was restricted to plant identification the species was discussed and illustrated in the wildflowers of western australia and in the flowers and plants of western australia but these books did not provide cultivation advice either possibly the first published information on the cultivation of dryandra appeared in the magazine australian plants in june and september d sessilis was among the species treated but as there was not yet any experimental data on cultivation information was restricted to its aesthetic qualities and the soil in which it naturally occurs from its inception in the kings of native plants resulting in two early publications that mentioned the cultivation potential of b sessilis in john stanley beard published descriptive catalogue of western australian plants a work of reference in which the horticultural characteristics of the plants concerned could be looked up by the staff which described d sessilis as an erect shrub with pale yellow flowers appearing from may to october growing in sand and gravel five years later arthur fairall published west australian native plants in cultivation this presented largely the same information as beard s catalogue adding only that the species flowers well in its third season current knowledge according to current knowledge b sessilis as an extremely hardy plant that grows in a range of soils and aspects so long as it is given good drainage and tolerates both drought and moderate frost unlike many dryandras it grows well on limestone an excellent producer of honey it attracts birds and is also popular with beekeepers however its size makes it unsuitable for smaller gardens and if given an ideal situation it may produce a great many seedlings it is propagated only from seed as propagating it from cuttings has proven virtually impossible germination takes about five or six weeks and plants may take two years to flower

baltic fleet commanded by admiral vasili chichagov the battle ranks among the world s largest historical naval battles and also among the most influential as it introduced the naval battle concept of firepower over mobility background in king gustav iii of sweden revived his plan for a landing close to st petersburg this time near viborg but the plan foundered in a disastrous attack on the russian fleet at the battle of reval on may a further attack on the russian fleet off kronstadt at the beginning of june also failed and the skrgrdsflottan both retired to viborg bay the stage for the battle was set in the first week of june northern white nights were nearly as light as the day and to king gustav s consternation unfavourable southwesterly winds prevented the combined swedish fleets of some vessels from sailing southeast to swedishcontrolled finnish waters this allowed the russian sailing battlefleet and coastal galley fleet to join forces king gustav ordered a twopart swedish naval force of ships with guns and sailor and soldiers to anchor temporarily between the islands of krysserort ristiniemi in finnish and biskops severny berezovy in russian piisaari in finnish just inside the mouth of bay of viborg russia in the gulf of finland this strategic position placed the swedish navy within striking distance of the russian imperial capital saint petersburg the sailing battlefleet of ships of the line frigates various smaller ships and men was led by flagcaptain admiral nordenskild under command gustav iii of sweden the coastal galley flotilla skrgrdsflottan of sailors and army soldiers was led by flagcaptain colonel george de frese under personal charge of gustav iii of sweden on june the russian baltic fleet under admiral vasili chichagov blockaded the

further west at pitkpaasi meanwhile on june an assault on the russian galley fleet at trngsund vysotsk uuuras in finnish ordered by gustav iii of sweden and started two days earlier failed due to lack of support of its center force and returned shortages of food and water prompted gustav iii of sweden to act on june he instructed admiral nordenskild to formulate a plan for the breakout for when the winds changed one which would include a distraction with gun sloops at kanonslupar with an actual breakout at krysserort and one which the king would lead personally then on july the supreme command at vyborg bay which met in session and a swedish reconnaissance force apprehended a russian unit at bjrk sound in the battle of bjrk sound battle on june prince nassausiegen attacked the swedes at bjrk sound with ships then at nightfall on july june os gustav iii of sweden ordered the breakout to commence from krysserort at on the following day at on july swedish units bombarded russian shore batteries at the same time swedish sloops led by lieutenant colonel jacob trning attacked a russian naval unit just west of vasikansaari island west of bjrk sound just prior to that morning gustav iii of sweden spoke with then captain johan puke of the gun ship of the line the dristigheten the audacity which would lead the breakout moments later puke aboard the dristigheten led a line of ships and the western channel around the salvors shallows into the middle of the channel between the shallows and krysserort and towards the first russian ships of the line the seslav and saint peter which were part of the russian admiral povalishin s squadron deployed to block the channel leading to west this line of ships consisted of the flagship the konung gustaf iii with prince grand admiral duke carl aboard the seraphimerorden with gustav iii of sweden aboard in the line s center the manligheten the manliness sister ship of the dristigheten the other ships of line the navy frigates the frigate zemire the gun ship of the line enigheten the unity and three fire barges used to set fire to enemy ships meanwhile the flotilla protected the naval fleet on a parallel course further west gustav iii transferred onto a smaller sloop puke ordered all nonessential personnel below decks and moments later the swedish navy engaged the russian blockade splitting between the selsav and the saint peter gustav iii of sweden was rowed through the fire but the flagship konung gustaf iii was hit and the grand admiral duke carl injured while the blockading russian ships opened fire on the swedish vanguard the damage caused by the russian ships was relatively small and all swedish ships remained fully capable of action swedish fire when sailing past the blockading russian ships however caused severe damage to several of the russian ships by the time the main body of the swedish fleets arrived to the blockade the russian ships posed no longer any danger to the swedes at least one of the russian ships had suffered a severe list from the damage russian frigate squadron west of the povalishin s ships was too far out with their visibility obscured by gunpowder smoke to prevent inactivity of the main body of the russian fleet of admiral chichagov aided the swedes once through the first group of ships gustav iii of sweden reboarded the seraphimerorden the king s personal ship the amphion survived with no damage further west the galley fleet line of ships consisting sequentially of the frigates styrbjrn and norden north six turuma squadron ships sllan vrre rarely worse the remaining archipelago frigates malmberg s and hjelmstierna s coastal squadrons and colonel jacob tnningen s assigned gun sloops and gun tenders passed the first russian set of ships then engaged the second the styrbjrn though subjected to heavy fire managed to pass through and score several hits on russian commander povalishin s ship and on the bomb ship pobeditel victor as the majority of both swedish fleets passed through the blockade postman towed by the gun ship of the line enigheten set his ship on fire too early he then under alcoholic intoxication committed a series of errors which caused the fireship to drift towards the enigheten setting it on fire and then to collide with the swedish gun frigate zemire with all three ships exploding in an enormous channelcovering cascade of debris and smoke the explosion severely damaged or destroyed ships within or trying to get through the blockade the russian ship groups blocking the swedish fleets were disrupted by passing swedish ships the swedish navy lost a total of eight ships seven running aground in the heavy smoke from the explosion four grounded ships of the line the gun hedvig elisabeth charlotta though her captain jindric johan nauckhoff continued firing at the russian frigates until the end the finland at the salvors shallows the gun just south of reipie and the gun mheten the tenderness at the pensar islets and one shipwrecked ship of the line the auroras although the king s british naval adviser sidney smith was saved three frigates including the uppland and the jarrislawitz yaroslavets captured in from russia both at the passaloda shallows the two swedish fleets followed separate routes from the bay the battlefleet accompanied by most of the heavier elements of the archipelago fleet such as the archipelago frigates sailed to the open sea while the rest of the archipelago fleet followed the much shallower route closer to the land however the russian frigate squadron commanded by crown was deployed expressly to blockade the shallower route which forced the light swedish gun sloops gun yawls and galleys to head to more open waters where the waves and winds rendered the swedish archipelago fleet almost totally incapable of fighting noticing that had caused crown set after them and forced several of the swedish ships to struck their colors as he threatened to run over the small swedish ships struggling in the open sea crown s squadron very nearly captured gustaf iii but were turned away almost on the last seconds by the orders from chichagov to start pursuit of the swedish battlefleet just as crown s frigate was about to capture the ship where gustaf iii was as the russians had only sent few prize crews in their hurry to force swedish ships to surrender most of the swedish ships which had surrendered raised their flags again or overpowered the prize crews and rejoined the swedish archipelago fleet once the frigate squadron had been ordered to leave the swedish archipelago fleet lost four galleys to the shallows the ehrenpreuss the palmstierna the nerika these ships were all ran aground at the pensar islet close to the second set of russian ships and the russian ship noli me tangere nerika was able get escape while others were forced to struck their colors additionally galleys stergtland nordstjerneorden ekeblad and dalarne were captured by the russians while the swedish were trying to avoid russian frigate squadron blocking the coastal sea route aftermath the swedish warships that survived the breakout headed into open seas assembled at vidskr skerry just south of pitkpaasi and then sailed to sveaborg fortress near helsinki finland for repairs chichagov was late in pursuing the swedish navy but pursued them to sveaborg the next day captain crown captured the gun retvisan justice in old swedish spelling with the help of the gun izyaslav the imperial russian navy would subsequently name other ships retvisan the swedish battlefleet retired to sveaborg for repairs while the swedish archipelago fleet made for a strong defensive position at svensksund near kotka an impetuous russian attack on the swedish svensksund resulted in a disaster for the russians and both parties would sue for peace

 reference model of open distributed processing rmodp is a reference model in computer science which provides a coordinating framework for the standardization of open distributed processing odp it supports distribution interworking platform and technology independence and portability together with an enterprise architecture framework for the specification of odp systems rmodp also named itut rec xx and isoiec is a joint effort by the international organization for standardization iso the international electrotechnical commission iec and the telecommunication standardization sector itut overview the rmodp is a reference model based on precise concepts derived from current distributed processing developments and as far as possible on the use of formal description techniques for specification of the architecture many rmodp concepts possibly under different names have been around for a long time and have been rigorously described and explained in exact philosophy for example in the works of mario bunge and in friedrich hayek some of these conceptssuch as abstraction composition and emergencehave recently been provided with a solid mathematical foundation in category theory rmodp has four fundamental elements an object modelling approach to system specification the specification of a system in terms of separate but interrelated viewpoint specifications the definition of a system infrastructure providing distribution transparencies for system applications and a framework for assessing system conformance the rmodp family of recommendations and international standards defines a system of interrelated essential concepts necessary to specify open distributed processing systems and provides a welldeveloped enterprise architecture framework for structuring the specifications for any largescale systems including software systems history much of the preparatory work that led into the adoption of rmodp as an iso standard was carried out by the advanced networked systems architecture ansa project this ran from until under the leadership of andrew herbert now md of microsoft research in cambridge and involved a number of major computing and telecommunication companies parts and parts and were adopted in rmodp topics rmodp standards rmodp consists of four basic itut recommendations and isoiec international standards overview contains a motivational overview of odp giving scoping justification and explanation of key concepts and an outline of the odp architecture it contains explanatory material on how the rmodp is to be interpreted and applied by its users who may include standard writers and architects of odp systems foundations contains the definition of the concepts and analytical framework for normalized description of arbitrary distributed processing systems it introduces the principles of conformance to odp standards and the way in which they are applied in only pages this standard sets the basics of the whole model in a clear precise and concise way architecture contains the specification of the required characteristics that qualify distributed processing as open these are the constraints to which odp standards must conform this recommendation also defines rmodp viewpoints subdivisions of the specification of pieces of information relevant to some particular area of concern architectural semantics contains a formalization of the odp modeling concepts by interpreting many concepts in terms of the constructs of the different standardized formal description techniques viewpoints modeling and the rmodp framework most complex system specifications are so extensive that no single individual can fully comprehend all aspects of the specifications furthermore we all have different interests in a given system and different reasons for examining the system s specifications a business executive will ask different questions of a system makeup than would a system implementer the concept of rmodp viewpoints framework therefore is to provide separate viewpoints into the specification of a given complex system these viewpoints each satisfy an audience with interest in a particular set of aspects of the system associated with each viewpoint is a viewpoint language that optimizes the vocabulary and presentation for the audience of that viewpoint viewpoint modeling has become an effective approach for dealing with the inherent complexity of large distributed systems current software architectural practices into several areas of concerns each one focusing on a specific aspect of the system examples include the view model the zachman framework togaf dodaf and of course rmodp a viewpoint is a subdivision of the specification of a complete system established to bring together those particular pieces of information relevant to some particular area of concern during the analysis or design of the system although separately specified the viewpoints are not completely independent key items in each are identified as related to items in the other viewpoints moreover each viewpoint substantially uses the same foundational concepts defined in part of rmodp however the viewpoints are sufficiently independent to simplify reasoning about the complete specification the mutual consistency among the viewpoints is ensured by the architecture defined by rmodp and the use of a common object model provides the glue that binds them all together more specifically the rmodp framework provides five generic and complementary viewpoints on the system and its environment the scope and policies for the system it describes the business requirements and how to meet them the information viewpoint which focuses on the semantics of the information and the information processing performed it describes the information managed by the system and the structure and content type of the supporting data the computational viewpoint which enables distribution through functional decomposition on the system into objects which interact at interfaces it describes the functionality provided by the system and its functional decomposition the engineering viewpoint which focuses on the mechanisms and functions required to support distributed interactions between objects in the system it describes the distribution of processing performed by the system to manage the information and provide the functionality the technology viewpoint which focuses on the choice of technology of the system it describes the technologies chosen to provide the processing functionality and presentation of information rmodp and uml currently there is growing interest there is no widely agreed approach to the structuring of such specifications this adds to the cost of adopting the use of uml for system specification hampers communication between system developers and makes it difficult to relate or merge system specifications where there is a need to integrate it systems although the odp reference model provides abstract languages for the relevant concepts it does not prescribe particular notations to be used in the individual viewpoints the viewpoint languages defined in the reference model are abstract languages in the sense that they define what concepts should be used not how they should be represented this lack of precise notations for expressing the different models involved in a multiviewpoint specification of a system is a common feature for most enterprise architectural approaches including the zachman framework the model or the rmodp these approaches were consciously defined in a notation and representationneutral manner to increase their use and flexibility however this makes more difficult among other things the development of industrial tools for modeling the viewpoint specifications the possible derivation of implementations from the system specifications in order to address these issues isoiec and the itut started a joint project in itut rec xisoiec information technology open distributed processing use of uml for odp system specifications this document usually referred to as defines use of the unified modeling language uml isoiec for expressing the specifications of open distributed systems in terms of the viewpoint specifications defined by the rmodp it defines a set of uml profiles one for each viewpoint language and one to express the correspondences between viewpoints and an approach for structuring them according to the rmodp principles the purpose of umlodp to allow odp modelers to use the uml notation for expressing their odp specifications in a standard graphical way to allow uml modelers to use the rmodp concepts and mechanisms to structure their large uml system specifications according to a mature and standard proposal and to allow uml tools to be used to process viewpoint specifications thus facilitating large software systems in addition itut rec x isoiec enables the seamless integration of the rmodp enterprise architecture framework with the modeldriven architecture mda initiative from the omg and with the serviceoriented architecture soa applications in addition there are several projects that have used or currently use rmodp for effectively structuring their systems specifications the combine project the reference architecture for space data systems rasds from the consultative committee for space data

 birthplace great salt lake city utah territory us deathplace centerville utah us spouse sarah ann roberts goulda kmetzsch possibly others lorin calvin woolley october september was an american proponent of plural marriage and one of the founders of the mormon fundamentalist movement as a young man in utah territory woolley served as a courier and bodyguard for polygamous leaders of the church of jesus christ of latterday saints lds church in hiding during the federal crusade against polygamy his career as a religious leader in his own right commenced in the early twentieth century when he began claiming to have been set apart to keep plural marriage alive by church president john taylor in connection with the revelation woolley s distinctive teachings on authority morality and doctrine are thought to provide the theological foundation for nearly ninety percent of mormon fundamentalist groups early life woolley was the third child of mormon pioneer john w woolley and his first bishop edwin d woolley a close friend of brigham young according to lds church records woolley was baptized a member of the church by his father on october aged eleven and ordained an elder by john lyon on march nicknamed noisy the boisterous young woolley frequently dominated ward elders quorum discussions late in life he would claim to have received his endowments and been ordained an apostle by brigham young on march aged thirteen on january woolley married sarah ann roberts in the endowment house on temple square they had nine children together between and seven sons and two daughters woolley served as a mormon missionary in the southern united states from october to october shortly thereafter he was called to the seventieth quorum of the seventy in centerville utah and served a second four month mission to indian territory from december to april had allegedly taken place during his first mission wherein he fell deathly ill and only recovered after the resurrected jesus christ joseph smith brigham young and john taylor intervened on his behalf plural marriage between october and february woolley served as a mail carrier for lds church leaders hiding from state authorities during the crackdown on mormon polygamybrian c hales mormon history association during this time church authorities frequently stayed at the woolley home in centerville utah on october woolley wrote the first known account of the reception of the revelation an enigmatic document in the handwriting of church president john taylor the revelation first brought to public attention during the excommunication trial of john w taylor the president s son an apostle who had refused to accept the cessation of polygamy declared firmly that the lord had not revoked the new and everlasting covenant plural marriage nor will i for it is everlasting according to woolley resurrected joseph smith founder of the church at his father s home in september woolley frequently reiterated this account for the remainder of his life adding additional details over time the version which has assumed canonical status among mormon fundamentalists was compiled by joseph w musser in and includes the claim that smith s appearance was followed by an eight hour meeting on september at which president taylor put five men woolley and his father george q cannon samuel bateman and charles henry wilcken under covenant to ensure that no year passed by without children being born in the principle of plural marriage according to woolley these five men together with taylor himself and later lorenzo snow or joseph f smith comprised a seven man council of friends holding apostolic authority above that of the lds church this doctrinal claim gave hierarchical structure to the nascent fundamentalist movement until that time an informal association of lds dissidents woolley s father the aged john w woolley of the organization the elder woolley was excommunicated from the lds church for performing plural marriages in april woolley was excommunicated from the lds church in january for alleging that church president heber j grant and apostle james e talmage had taken plural wives in the recent past woolley variously claimed that he had learned of such behavior because he was employed by the united states secret service to spy on lds church leaders or because he had been commissioned by brigham young to learn of and keep track of activities pertaining to the battle for and against the fullness of the gospel including plural marriage the official reason for his excommunication was that he was found guilty of pernicious falsehood grant publicly denied woolley s claims in a general conference of the church in april mormon fundamentalist leader most mormon fundamentalists believe that upon his father s death on december woolley succeeded him as senior member of the council of friends and thus president of the priesthood or prophet between march ordained six new members to the council designating them apostles and patriarchs to all the world j leslie broadbent john y barlow joseph w musser charles f zitting dr legrand woolley and louis a kelsch jr from at least december when lorin woolley was critically ill leslie broadbent was designated his second elder and successor woolley observed brother leslie you are to me as oliver cowdery was to the prophet joseph smith before oliver cowdery apostatized despite woolley s appointment some contemporary fundamentalist groups such as the fundamentalist church of jesus christ of latterday saints flds church believe that he was succeeded as prophet by john y barlow although anderson finds evidence for only two marriages of lorin woolley one to sarah ann roberts in and another to goulda kmetzch in woolley himself claimed to have five wives living in april some of his followers notably lynn l bishop have attempted to resolve this discrepancy by speculating that woolley was who otherwise appear to have remained single either until woolley s death or throughout their lives potential candidates in this regard include alice may sarah viola lucy and elnora woolley whom bishop argues had married lorin by at least bishop also notes the possibility of woolley having wed an anonymous wife in the yucatn peninsula where he claimed to have been divinely translated or teleported on at least one occasion

even the title screen has a horrible eyeburning font and sloppy art in a review for allgamecom span bennet examines the playstation version with more affection saying the s decor and vivid color give

 in music theory a theoretical key or impossible key is a key and scale which exists in theory and practice but whose corresponding key signature make its notation impractical such a key is one whose key signature would contain one or more doubleflats or doublesharps doubleflats and doublesharps are used in music as accidentals but they are never placed in the key signature in music that uses equal temperament due to notational convention and because reading the music would become unnecessarily difficult for example the key of d minor is not conventionally used in notated music because its corresponding key signature would contain a b submediant an equaltempered scale of d minor comprises the same notes as the c minor scale under equal temperament the scales sound exactly the same such key pairs are said to be enharmonically equivalent so the theoretical key of d minor is usually practically notated by a key signature of c minor class wikitable the other option is to use either no key signature for the b s enharmonic equivalence while a piece of western music generally has a home key a passage within it may modulate to another key which is usually closely related to the home key in the baroque and early classical eras that is close to the original around the circle of fifths when the key is near the top of the circle a key signature of zero or few accidentals the notation of both keys is straightforward but if the home key is near the bottom of the circle a key signature of many accidentals and particularly if the new key is on the opposite side in the late classical and romantic eras it becomes necessary to consider enharmonic equivalence in each of the bottom three places on the circle of fifths the two enharmonic equivalents can be notated and so do not classify as theoretical keys the need to consider theoretical keys but when a relative key ascends the opposite theory suggests that doublesharps and doubleflats would have to be incorporated into the notated key signature the following six keys which are the parallel majorminor keys of those above would require one two or three doublesharps or doubleflats for example pieces in the major mode commonly modulate up a fifth to the dominant for a key with sharps in the signature this leads to a key whose key signature has an additional sharp a piece in c which performs this modulation would lead to the theoretical key of g requiring an eighth sharp meaning an f in place of the f already present in order to write that passage with a new key signature it would become necessary to recast the new section using the enharmonically equivalent key signature of a major however such passages are usually notated with the use of accidentals as in this example from bach s welltempered clavier in g major the overall key is c major tunings other than twelvetone equaltemperament in a different tuning several keys do require a doublesharp or doubleflat in the key signature and no longer have conventional equivalents where there are tones in the scale the key of b major flats is equivalent to a major sharps in tone equal temperament and tone equal temperament keys that are enharmonic in a tone system for example c and d minor may have to be notated completely differently

latin american women film directors and a powerful presence in the intellectual argentina of in her work she specialized in portraying famous south american women and the argentine upper class bemberg also focused on feminism with regard to the gender debate and cinematic gaze bemberg is arguably latin america s foremost female director early years the daughter of otto eduardo bemberg and sofa bengolea she was born into one of the most powerful families in argentina as her greatgrandfather german argentine immigrant otto bemberg had founded the quilmes brewery the country s largest in bemberg grew up in a patrician family bemberg never received a high school diploma or a college degree she was privately tutored by a governess on october following their marriage and in the midst of the juan pern era the couple moved to spain where they had four children before returning to argentina one of them carlos miguens bemberg would become a wellknown businessman years later she divorced miguens her partner in subsequent years was film producer oscar kramer artistic career in bemberg became involved with the former smart theater and afterwards with the astral theater in she established and managed buenos aires s teatro del globo with her associate catalina wolff she was one of the founders of the mar del plata film festival and the feminist union in argentina her original efforts to form feminist groups were muffled by the military regime that superseded pern in the mids bemberg was inspired by french novelist and art theorist andr malraux who visited her aunt s villa ocampo in and particularly his belief that one must live what one believes in she wrote the script for ral de a successful film on the argentine upper class with graciela borges and lautaro mura and in the script for fernando ayala s triangle of four after her film seora de nadie was censored by the military regime she went to new york to study acting from lee strasberg bemberg used that time to understand how to approach a film from an actor s perspective bemberg decided to pursue directing because she was disappointed with how her semiautobiographical screenplays were interpreted by male directors she believed that argentine men suffered from great insecurity and latin american films portrayed women poorly and wanted to change what she felt was an uninteresting image of women in latin american cinema she founded her own production company gea with lita stantic and directed her first film momentos which was selffinanced in among her films she wrote and directed seora de nadie in camila in his lover ordered by argentine military officer and politician juan manuel de rosas and nominated for the academy award for best foreign language film miss mary in featuring british actress julie christie and yo la peor de todas in about the life of juana ins de la cruz with french actress dominique sanda argentine actor hctor alterio and spanish actress assumpta serna bemberg s films were widely popular due to their melodramatic elements such as with camila and enjoyed much commercial success her last film was s de eso no se habla starring italian actor marcello mastroianni at the end of her life bemberg was working on a script based on the story el impostor by silvina ocampo a distant relative of hers which was made into a film in directed by her longtime collaborator alejandro maci throughout her career bemberg worked with longtime producer lita londonbased stage design firm before her death she bequeathed her personal art collection to the national museum of fine arts she died of cancer in buenos aires on may at age camila camila was bemberg s first film to gain international recognition her longtime producer lita stantic brought her a copy of a novel by enrique molina based on the life of argentine socialite camila ogorman stantic wanted bemberg to prove that she could tell a love story bemberg was interested in showing camila as the active pursuer in her relationship and spurning the pillars of family church and state freed from what she thought was a role that historians had confined her to bemberg was only able to make the film after president ral alfonsn outlawed film censorship in the film cost us to make themes scholar bruce williams has stated that all of bemberg s films show female protagonists transgressing the boundaries and limits of their societies her feminist settings with respect to the formal aspects of her films bemberg set her own aesthetics such as the woman s look which she considered was lacking in films and especially in latin american films in several interviews bemberg said that she was inspired by new zealand producer and director jane campion and in particular her movie the piano eroticism female sexuality and women were some of campion s themes that bemberg was most interested in in an interview bemberg described why campion s films were so inspirational for her in most films eroticism for the most part is portrayed from a masculine viewpoint they speak of their sexual prowess conquests butexcuse me i m going to be very cruderarely do they mention their inadequacies problems with erections impotence of that they do nt speak on the other hand it s my impression that if a woman does nt reach marriage as a virgin well but now it seems to me women are beginning to speak out beyond observing events from a different angle film scholars have noted that bemberg s entire body of work contains autobiographical elements not all of bemberg s films were focused on historical events and when they did bemberg explains in an interview she intended to situate the viewer in the period what interests me is the human beings not the meticulous and obsessive reconstruction of facsimiles of their surroundings however in bemberg s last film de eso no se habla although it carries her signature there is a clear change of tone in this story about the love between a foreigner and a dwarf woman in this film she abandons the literal account and chooses the metaphor and the satire within a customary representation masterly recreated filmography awards two of her films were featured at the venice film festival camila was nominated for an oscar for best foreign film seora de nadie was featured at the received honorary mentions at the tokyo and venice film festivals she received konex awards in and and the honour konex in and multiple awards in international film festivals she also participated as a jury at the festivals of cartagena berlin chicago and venice

 yuan yong died may n tuoba yong courtesy name simu formally prince wenmu of gaoyang was an imperial prince of the chinesexianbei dynasty northern wei he was very powerful during the reign of his grandnephew emperor xiaoming and by corrupt means grew very rich this however drew resentment from the populace and after emperor xiaoming s death in and the subsequent overthrowing of emperor xiaoming s mother empress dowager hu by the general erzhu rong erzhu had him and over other officials slaughtered at heyin in modern luoyang henan background it is not known when tuoba yong was born what is known is that he was the sixth of seven sons of emperor xianwen and that his mother was emperor xianwen s concubine consort han who was also the mother of one of his older brothers tuoba gan emperor xianwen yielded the throne to tuoba yong s oldest subsequently in probably murdered by tuoba yong s stepgrandmother empress dowager feng who then proceeded to assume regency over emperor xiaowen emperor xiaowen liked tuoba yong for his lack of inhibitions and while yuan yong did not display much talent while young he believed that yuan yong might show those talents later in tuoba yong was created the prince of yingchuan in when emperor xiaowen moved the capital from pingcheng in modern datong shanxi tuoba yong s title was changed to the prince of gaoyang in when emperor xiaowen changed the name of the imperial clan from tuoba to yuan tuoba yong s name was changed to yuan yong subsequently when emperor xiaowen conducted his campaigns against rival southern qi yuan yong was put in charge of the important xiang province roughly modern handan hebei but he unlike most of his other brothers was not given any greater authority during emperor xiaowen s reign during emperor xuanwu particularly powerful after emperor xiaowen s death in and succession by his oldest son emperor xuanwu unlike his brothers yuan xi the prince of xianyang yuan xie the prince of pengcheng and yuan xiang the prince of beihai each of whom received substantial powers after yuan yong served a further stint as the governor of ji province modern central hebei emperor xuanwu recalled him to the capital he participated in yuan xiang s corruption trial in whenever emperor xuanwu visited yuan yong s mansion emperor xuanwu would pay proper respect to him as an uncle rather than allowing yuan yong to bow to him as a subject to an emperor during emperor xiaoming s reign emperor xuanwu died suddenly in the officials yu zhong and cui guang quickly proclaimed emperor xuanwu s young crown prince yuan xu emperor as emperor xiaoming and seized power away from emperor xuanwu s wife empress gao whose uncle gao zhao who was also emperor to counteract gao zhao yu and cui forced empress gao to yield regent powers to yuan yong and emperor xiaowen s cousin yuan cheng the prince of rencheng and then yu and yuan yong ambushed gao zhao and killed him empress gao was also removed and replaced as empress dowager by emperor xiaoming s mother consort hu although yuan yong and yuan cheng were titular regents real regency powers were in yu s hands and yu quickly grew exceedingly arrogant and autocratic the officials pei zhi and guo zuo secretly suggested to yuan yong to have yu s power stripped when yu found out about this he falsely accused pei and guo of crimes and they were put to death yu also wanted to kill yuan yong but cui resisted so yuan yong was only removed from his posts later in however empress dowager hu assumed regency powers and quickly stripped yu of most of his posts making yu the governor of ji province as acts were reversed and yuan yong accused him of crimes and asked that he be punished however empress dowager hu because yu had saved her life before refused to act against yu although she recalled yuan yong back to the administration to serve in high capacity during empress dowager hu s regency she tolerated officials corruption and wealthgathering and often added to the wealthgathering herself by awarding them money and luxuries out of the imperial treasury yuan yong became exceedingly rich at this time and historians described his wealth as being so great as like a nation s treasury and he had male servants and female servants while two other princes yuan chen the prince of hejian and yuan rong the prince of zhangwu tried to compete with him they could not and it was commonly recognized that yuan yong was the richest official at the time this type of corruption among high level officials had a corrosive effect on northern wei s rule and it agrarian revolts throughout the empire in empress dowager hu s brotherinlaw the general yuan cha along with the eunuch liu teng and the palace attendant hou gang carried out a coup against her putting her under house arrest yuan cha however was respectful of yuan yong and he remained in a position of power although yuan cha was effectively the regent in yuan yong plotted with both empress dowager hu and emperor xiaoming to restore empress dowager hu and later that year she seized power back from yuan cha and forced yuan cha to commit suicide yuan yong as one who participated in her plan continued in his position of power death in with empress dowager hu and emperor xiaoming in a conflict after emperor xiaoming wanted to put empress dowager hu s lover zheng yan to death by conspiring with the general erzhu rong empress dowager hu poisoned emperor xiaoming and put the young child yuan zhao a the throne erzhu refused to recognize yuan zhao s imperial authority and advanced on luoyang quickly capturing it he made yuan xie s son yuan ziyou emperor as emperor xiaozhuang and threw empress dowager hu and yuan zhao into the yellow river to drown erzhu then believed that in order to show his might he needed to massacre the high level officials whom the people viewed as corrupt under guise that they were needed to attend emperor xiaozhuang in sacrificing to heaven he had them led by yuan yong report to heyin near luoyang then he had his cavalry surround them and massacre them erzhu would later regret this action and he had yuan yong and the other officials killed buried with honor notes references

first public facility to house the mentally ill and disabled architects john haviland addison hutton location harrisburg pennsylvania date building type health care construction system sandstone brick stone sandstone iron building style classical revival history the harrisburg state hospital was created as the pennsylvania state lunatic hospital and union asylum for the insane in to provide care for mentally ill persons throughout the commonwealth of pennsylvania the hospital was the result of the successful lobbying efforts of th century social reformer dorothea dix a nine member board of trustees was empowered to appoint a superintendent purchase land and construct facilities near harrisburg this board of trustees received no compensation for their work in the name of the was appropriated to begin construction patients from all parts of the state would be accepted at the hospital at the expense of the counties that they belonged or if able they would pay for themselves at a cost of per week this cost included board and medical attention originally the hospital only had one building which housed the administration staff and patients built in the main building was designed following the kirkbride plan which was a very popular building style during the late th century the original capacity of the building was patients but was later expanded with the removal of dining rooms and the addition of the north and south branch buildings a acre farm was located adjacent to the hospital and provided work therapy for the patients and also enabled the hospital to be selfsupporting by growing its own food and raising its own livestock when the first patient was admitted on october every poor district was charged a weekly maintenance fee for for private patients were scheduled to vary between and based upon ability to pay in the board of public charities was created to inspect all public and voluntary charitable institutions in the commonwealth and to report to the legislature with recommendations concerning their operation for four decades this unpaid board and its small staff had no authority to correct the conditions it found within state institutions nonetheless by persuasion and publicity they were able to improve the quality of care in public institutions a major objective was the removal of the insane from almshouses to the pennsylvania state lunatic hospital and other state hospitals a committee on lunacy was created within the board of public charities in to oversee the operations of these mental institutions the early th century was a time of great change for harrisburg state hospital the main building had become old and was in need of replacement between the years and the hospital was rebuilt following the cottage plan which

buildings the hospital had grown considerably larger its patient capacity was but at one time it held as many as with on parole the hospital was selfsufficient with its own farm power plant and stores it became known as the city on the hill during war time there was a shortage of attendants at the lowest level of employment there were as few as one nurse to patients in june only of the authorized shortage resulted in widespread curtailment of services to both the public and patients up until certain administrative responsibilities such as the selection of the hospital superintendent and the enactment of rules and regulations governing the hospital were vested in the board of trustees of the harrisburg state hospital in an amendment to the administrative code authorized the department of public welfare to assume administrative responsibilities for the harrisburg state hospital relegating its board of trustees to specific advisory duties this act also provided for the appointment of a commissioner of mental health in the department of public welfare who assumed overall responsibility for pennsylvania s mental health program like other institutions harrisburg state hospitals patient population began to fall in the late th century this was due to new medicines being developed and finally deinstitutionalization the hospital was finally closed on january today the hospital sits on a acre campus with stately buildings in a country setting in dauphin county with a majority of its campus in susquehanna township there the former hospital facility now provides office space for many

 hotu matua was the legendary first settler and ariki mau supreme chief or king of easter island and ancestor of the rapa nui people hotu matua and his two canoe or one double hulled canoe colonising party were polynesians from the now unknown land of hiva probably the marquesas they landed at anakena beach and his people spread out across the island subdivided it between clans claiming descent from his sons and lived for more than a thousand years in their isolated island home at the southeastern tip of the polynesian triangle history polynesians first came to rapa nui also called easter island sometime between ce and ce these are the common elements of oral history that have been extracted from island legends linguistic dna and pollen analysis all point to a polynesian first settlement of the island at that time but it is unlikely that other details can be verified during this era the polynesians were colonising islands across a vast led his people from hiva linguistic analysis comparing rapanui to other polynesian languages suggests this was the marquesas islands legend haumaka had a dream in which his spirit traveled to a far country to help look for new land for king hotu matua he traveled to the mata ki te rangi eyes that look to the sky the island has also been called te pito o te henua which means the center of the earth both islands are commonly said to be easter island when haumaka woke he told the king the king then ordered seven men to travel to the island from hiva their mythical home to investigate they found the land and returned to hiva the king himself then traveled to the new island theories and controversy tuu ko iho resemblance of the name to an early mangarevan founder god atu motua father lord has made some historians suspect in the s along with adopting the mangarevan language the real founder would have been tuu ko iho who became just a supporting character in the hotu matua centric legends dates of the first settlements there is considerable uncertainty about the accuracy of this legend as well as the date of settlement published literature suggests the island was settled around ce or at about the time of the arrival of the earliest settlers in hawaii some scientists say that easter island was not inhabited until ce this date range is based on glottochronological calculations and on three radiocarbon dates from charcoal that appears to have been produced during forest clearance activities while a recent study with radiocarbon dates from what is thought to be very early material proves the island was settled by ce this seems to be supported by the latest information on island s deforestation that could have started around the same time any earlier human activity seems to be insignificant or low impact south out many cultural similarities between easter island and south american indian cultures which he suggested might have resulted from some settlers arriving also from the continent according to local legends a group of longeared unknown men referred to as hanau eepe had arrived on the island sometime after polynesians introducing the stone carving technology and attempting to enslave the local polynesians some early accounts of the legend place hanau epe as the original residents and polynesians as later immigrants coming from oparo after mutual suspicions erupted in a violent clash the hanau eepe were overthrown and exterminated leaving only one survivor the first description of island s demographics by jacob roggeveen in still claimed that the population consisted of two distinctive ethnic groups one being clearly polynesian and the other white with so lengthened earlobes that they could tie them behind their necks roggeveen also noted how some of the islanders were generally large in stature islanders tallness was also witnessed by the spanish who visited cm the fact that sweet potatoes a staple of the polynesian diet and several other domestic plants up to in easter island are of south american origin indicates that there may have been some contact between the two cultures either polynesians have traveled to south america and back or south american balsa rafts have drifted to polynesia possibly unable to make a return trip because of their less developed navigational skills and more fragile boats or both polynesian connections in south america have been noticed among the mapuche indians in central and southern chile the polynesian name for the small islet of sala y gmez manu motu motiro hiva bird s islet on the way to a far away land east of easter island has also been seen as a hint that south america was known before european contacts further complicating the situation is that the word hiva far away land was also the name of an eastern origin for the first inhabitants was unanimous among the islanders in all early accounts mainstream archeology is skeptical about any nonpolynesian influence on the island s prehistory although the discussion has become political dna sequence analysis of easter island s current inhabitants a tool not available in heyerdahl s time offers strong evidence of polynesian origins however since few islanders survived the th century slave raids epidemics and deportations perhaps only of the peak population this evidence depends on how representative the survivors were of the general rapanui population

 byrd v blue ridge rural electric cooperative inc us decided on may was a decision by the supreme court of the united states that refined the doctrine regarding in what instances courts were required to follow state law background of the case electric power utility company blue ridge rural electric cooperative inc the defendant in this case provided electric power to subscribers in rural south carolina james earl byrd the plaintiff was employed by r h bouligny inc an independent contractor bouligny had a contract with blue ridge to construct miles of new power lines the reconversion to higher capacities of about miles of existing lines and the construction of two new substations and a breaker station byrd touched a live wire and suffered injuries while connecting power lines to one of the new substations he brought a claim against his employer bouligny and collected workmen s compensation his guaranteed byrd then proceeded to bring an action in diversity against blue ridge in the district court for the western district of south carolina byrd was a resident of the state of north carolina and blue ridge was a south carolina corporation byrd sought damages for injuries allegedly caused by blue ridge s negligence at issue was south carolina s workmen s compensation act that held that the employees of subcontractors are considered employees of the contractor for the purposes of the act if but only if they perform work that is part of the contractor s trade or business additionally the local judicial interpretation of the act held that it was a question of law not fact whether a workman was an employee under the statute thus to be decided by a judge not a jury byrd argued that the work that bouligny inc was performing building electric substations was not part of blue ridge s trade or business at trial the judge entered judgment for byrd agreeing with the plaintiff that substations are not of the substations was purely internal and trade or business required work for someone else the court of appeals for the fourth circuit reversed and directed judgment for blue ridge the supreme court granted cert the court s decision the question is whether the cause of action brought by the plaintiff is covered by the south carolina workmen s compensation act and therefore whether the plaintiff is barred from any other remedy against his employer in connection with the events at issue in this case the court in a majority opinion by justice william brennan first discussed whether the issue should be decided by a jury or by a court as is the practice and common law in south carolina the court notes that while in south carolina the court decided the question the rule is not bound up with the definitions and rights of the parties being purely a practical consideration with irrelevant historic causes a custom the court then addressed the outcome determinative test of york the court reasoned that the federal court would have to follow state practice however in addition to the outcomedeterminative test of york the federal courts should consider any countervailing federal policies in this case following the state practice would disrupt the federal system of allocating functions between judges and juries and go against the influence if not the command of the seventh amendment that guarantees the right of a trial by jury in suits at common law thus the court found that the possibility of a different outcome was less important than perverting the judgejury function allocations in the american federal system brennan concluded that there is no certainty or even a strong possibility that a different outcome would necessarily result if the issue is decided by a jury mentioning numerous powers federal judges have including making judgments notwithstanding the verdict analysis there was considerable difficulty in applying the byrd test that stemmed from the fact that there is no scale to say with assurance in a particular case that the federal interest asserted is more or less important state court c wright amp m kane the law of federal courts the byrd opinion exhibits a confusion that exceeds even that normally surrounding a balancing test and lower courts understandably experienced considerable difficulty in applying it j ely the irrepressible myth of erie harv l rev

 the synaptotropic hypothesis also called the synaptotrophic hypothesis is a neurobiological hypothesis of neuronal growth and synapse formation the hypothesis was first formulated by je vaughn in and remains a focus of current research efforts the synaptotropic hypothesis proposes that input from a presynaptic to a postsynaptic cell and maturation of excitatory synaptic inputs eventually can change the course of synapse formation at dendritic and axonal arbors this synapse formation is required for the development of neuronal structure in the functioning brain dendritic arbor development growth dendrites of central nervous system neurons grow by addition and retraction of thin branches this process is highly dynamic only a small fraction of newly added branches are actually maintained to become longlasting components of the arbor this process suggests that the branches sample the environment to detect the appropriate cells with which to form synapses as a result the hypothesis predicts that growth will be directed into regions containing more presynaptic elements this morphology can be stabilized by creating microtubule new synapses begins with initial contact between cells via cellcell adhesion this contact often occurs between either axonal or dendritic filopodia which are highly dynamic and rarely stabilize next the adhesive contact is converted to a nascent synapse which contains glutamatergic nmda receptors but not ampa receptors however the activation of nmdars by glutamate can trigger the recruitment of ampars from the postsynaptic density they also have a relatively high concentration of densecore vesicles which are thought to deliver structural proteins to the presynaptic site synapse maturation maturation of glutamatergic synapses involves changes in the amplitude of ampa receptormediated synaptic transmission as well as in the nmdar subunit composition further it includes the assembly of the postsynaptic density which is a proteindense region with both structural and signaling functions synaptic vesicles are also recruited resulting in an increase in the reliability of synaptic transmission neuronal architecture although neurons generally follow a basic morphological pattern consisting of the treelike dendritic arbor a cell body and an axonal unique to every neuron and are central to understanding their complex neural function the synaptotropic hypothesis implies that function drives form since the appropriateness of new synapses is constantly being tested by the filopodia in the first stages of dendritogenesis thus determining the form of the neural architecture modifications of the hypothesis some interpret the synaptotropic hypothesis as saying that manipulations that increase synapse formation and maturation promote formation of larger dendritic arbors while treatments that reduce synapse maturation result in smaller arbors however the opposite result has been found in different manipulations of the molecular pathways underlying synaptogeneis a resulting modified version of the hypothesis has emerged in which graded levels of synaptic maturation produce corresponding levels of stabilization this is a different way of viewing the synaptotropic hypothesis that still takes into account the molecular mechanisms of dendritogenesis and synaptogenesis supporting evidence the synaptotropic hypothesis would predict that cell adhesion molecules that are important in synapse formation would also greatly affect dendritic arbor growth this has been shown to be the case with cadherins receptors are expressed in individual xenopus neurons trafficking of ampa receptors to nascent synapses is minimized in those cells these cells like normal neurons extend and retract dendritic branches in the normal cell some of these branches would form synapses which is not the case in the neurons expressing the peptide as a result these cells have minimal dendritic arbors this is because without ampa receptors the neuron ca nt cause neighboring neurons to fire action potentials therefore disallowing their synapses to strengthen as described previously the pattern of dendritic branching depends on the initial contact of filopodia with afferent axons the hypothesis predicts that regions with numerous prospective presynaptic terminals will attract more growing dendrites researchers have used the developing mouse spinal cord to test this hypothesis a computerassisted threedimensional reconstruction system has been used with golgi s method preparations of mouse spinal cords the relative dendritic lengths and densities at various zones in the spinal cord indicate that dendritic growth is initially primarily towards the marginal zone this biased distribution is lost as synapses form in the intermediate zone this study is consistent with predictions of the synaptotropic hypothesis of dendritic branching dissenting evidence evidence against the synaptotropic hypothesis comes from experiments with munc knockout mice mice engineered to be missing the munc protein without which the mice never release neurotransmitters from synaptic vesicles despite this the mice develop normal brains before dying immediately after birth imaging techniques dynamic morphometrics dynamic morphometrics technology involves new methods of labeling imaging and quantifying dendritogenesis the transparent externally developing vertebrate embryos of xenopus laevis and zebrafish allow direct imaging of the organism in the critical stages of development while keeping the embryos intact individual brain neurons can be fluorescently labeled using single cell electroporation while leaving the rest of the brain unaltered also twophoton microscopy allows in vivo timelapse imaging to create highresolution d images of neurons deep within the living brain again with minimal damage to the brain new computer software methods comprise a new type of imaging technology that can monitor the process of dendritogenesis and can help give evidence to either dissent with or support the synaptotropic hypothesis applications dynamic morphometrics and other imaging techniques have been used to observe both dendrite growth and synaptogenesistwo processes between which the relationship is not well understood nonspiny dendritic arbors expressing a fluorescent postsynaptic marker protein were imaged as they arborized in the zebrafish larvae and this confirmed the role of newly extended dendritic filopodia in synaptogenesis their maturation into dendritic branches and the result namely growth and branching of the dendritic arbor these findings support the model wherein synapse formation can direct dendrite arborization a basic tenet of the synaptotropic hypothesis

received increasingly great authority and after his father s death in took over the rein of the state he was considered capable but frivolous and arrogant as well as lacking in sexual discretion in he was assassinated by his servant lan jing and his younger brother gao yang took over the control over the eastern wei regime background gao cheng was born in when his father gao huan was still a

to carry no actual responsibility by this point in either the imperial administration or his father s army with his father having been created the prince of bohai gao cheng as his oldest son also carried the title the heir apparent of bohai in emperor xiaowu in a dispute with gao huan over the control of power fled to the domain of the independent general yuwen tai leading to a split of northern wei as gao huan then made yuan shanjian the heir apparent of qinghe emperor as s control became known as eastern wei and the areas under yuwen s control became known as western wei gao huan moved the eastern wei capital from luoyang to yecheng in gao huan found out that gao cheng had been conducting an affair with gao huan s concubine lady zheng dache in anger he caned gao cheng times and put him under arrest and he seriously considered making gao you his son by his concubine lady erzhu yinge erzhu rong s daughter heir apparent to replace gao cheng gao cheng sought help from gao huan s friend sima ziru who persuaded gao huan to change his mind by reminding him the contributions that gao cheng s mother princess lou had made and also subsequently by forcing the witnesses to the affair between gao cheng and lady zheng to recant still princess lou and gao cheng were forced to repeatedly bow and crawl on the ground to beg gao huan s forgiveness and gao huan allowed gao cheng gao cheng who was then with his father at his military headquarters of jinyang requested permission to become in charge of the eastern wei imperial government at yecheng gao huan initially refused but gao huan s assistant sun qian spoke on gao cheng s behalf and finally gao huan agreed gao cheng soon arrived at yecheng and took over the imperial administration he became known as a harsh but capable enforcer of laws in comparison to his father s policy of relaxed enforcement he also abolished the senioritybased system of promotion that had caused the imperial administration to stagnate seeking out capable individuals and promoting them quickly around this time gao cheng also married emperor xiaojing s sister the princess fengyi as his wife in she bore him a son gao xiaowan the emperor personally went to his mansion to congratulate him and the officials all sent expensive gifts gao cheng initially declined stating that gao xiaocheng was the emperor s nephew and therefore the in the actions of gao cheng and his trusted assistant cui xian would lead to the rebellion of the general gao zhongmi gao zhongmi had earlier married cui s sister as his wife but later abandoned her and this led to hatred between gao zhongmi and cui cui therefore found many reasons to pick fault with selections of officials that gao zhongmi had made and gao cheng agreed with cui further on one occasion when gao cheng saw gao zhongmi s new wife li changyi he was stunned by her beauty and tried to rape her lady li escaped and informed gao zhongmi about the incident therefore when gao zhongmi became the governor of northern yu province roughly modern zhengzhou henan he surrendered the capital of northern yu province the key garrison hulao to western wei gao huan blaming cui for gao zhongmi s rebellion initially wanted to kill cui or at least displaying the influence that he had on his father by this point was able to persuade gao huan through gao huan s assistant chen yuanda that punishing cui would undermine gao cheng s authority and therefore gao huan never did punish cui in the ensuing battles over the control of the hulao and luoyang region both yuwen tai and gao huan nearly died after eastern wei forces finally captured hulao later that year and lady li was delivered to yecheng gao cheng made her one of his concubines in gao huan believing that the officials sima ziru sun teng gao yue gao huan s cousin and gao longzhi were becoming too powerful and too corrupt transferred major portions of those officials responsibilities to gao cheng gao cheng further showed off his authority by acting imperiously toward those officials for example when sun once visited him and showed insufficient respect he had his guards throw sun on the ground installed his assistant cui jishu cui xian s uncle as emperor xiaojing s secretary to keep watch on emperor xiaojing later in gao cheng wanting to stamp out corruption within the imperial administration empowered cui xian and song youdao to investigate high level officials for corruption cui and song each made several accusations against high level officials and gao cheng had in particular sima ziru stripped of all titles and offices and yuan tan the prince of xianyang stripped of his offices in order to show that cui in particular was empowered to carry out investigations gao cheng had cui intentionally show disrespect to himself in public with impunity so that the officials would be even more apprehensive of cui in late gao huan became seriously ill and he summoned gao cheng back to jinyang to entrust the matters to him at that time gao cheng was apprehensive that the general hou jing who commanded the provinces south of the yellow list of officials that he could trust and specifically instructed him to make murong shaozong the commander of the army against hou if hou rebelled gao huan died in spring but gao cheng also pursuant to gao huan s instructions did not announce gao huan s death in public rather he returned to yecheng pretending that gao huan was still alive as regent also in spring hou jing unsure whether gao huan was still alive but believing that gao huan had died rebelled first surrendering the provinces he commanded to western wei and then to liang dynasty gao cheng initially sent han gui against hou and han had some successes against hou s forces but was forced to withdraw when western wei forces arrived taking four of hou s provinces in exchange for supporting hou subsequently hou broke with western wei and western wei forces withdrew meanwhile emperor wu of liang commissioned his nephew xiao yuanming the marquess of gao cheng after finally revealing gao huan s death put murong shaozong in charge of the army he also made peace overtures to hou promising to keep him in command of the southern provinces if he would submit hou refused meanwhile gao cheng also had a threat from within gao cheng once gao huan died began to show contempt for emperor xiaojing and once when emperor xiaojing rebuked him for public disrespect gao cheng ordered cui jishu to punch emperor xiaojing three times emperor xiaojing fearful of what might come next formed a conspiracy against gao cheng in winter the plot was discovered and gao cheng put the emperor under arrest and executed his coconspirators late in murong shaozong crushed xiao yuanming s army at hanshan in modern xuzhou jiangsu capturing xiao yuanming when xiao yuanming was delivered to gao cheng gao cheng treatedly him with respect intending to try to use xiao yuanming as a pawn against hou s army as well and hou fled to liang seizing the liang border city of shouyang in modern luan anhui as his base of operations gao cheng then began negotiating peace with liang s emperor wu intending to create instability in the relationship between emperor wu and hou hou eventually coming to believe that emperor wu would betray him and turn him over to eastern wu to exchange for xiao yuanming rebelled in fall eventually capturing the liang capital jiankang and holding emperor wu and then his successor emperor jianwen of liang as puppets once hou did so he made an overture of peace to gao cheng but gao cheng did not respond meanwhile gao cheng was trying to recapture the provinces that western wei had taken from hou also in he sent gao yue and murong shaozong to siege changshe in modern xuchang henan but changshe defended by the western wei general wang sizheng would not fall easily and kill murong shaozong and another major general liu fengsheng in summer gao cheng himself commanded reinforcements and arrived at changshe he intensified the siege and soon changshe fell and he captured wang whom he treated with respect after changshe fell western wei forces also withdrew from the three other provinces that they had captured and eastern wei by this time had recaptured all of the land that hou had initially taken death meanwhile gao cheng was beginning to confer with his associates on how he could seize the throne in fall he was in a meeting with chen yuankang cui jishu and yang yin discussing the procedure for doing so one of the attending servants was lan jing a son of the liang general lan qin whom he had captured in battle and had repeatedly refused to release despite both lan qin s and lan jing s pleas to allow lan qin to ransom his son during the meeting the others at the meeting when lan jing stepped out gao cheng made the comment last night i dreamed that this slave was using a sword to hit me i should kill him lan jing overheard the comment and he

his wife and colleague this book became the standard text for landscape architecture for many years it was considered the bible at harvard for landscape architecture students in his book hubbard divides the history of landscape architecture into humanized formal and naturalized informal styles it also discusses the changes in european precedents and the use of classical formulae and emphasizes that modern design is based on a typological and pictorial approach called the beaux arts approach many landscape designers started to view this approach as confining and sometimes oblivious to the conditions of society and spatial context one of hubbard s main influences was the german prince hermann von pcklermuskau and his estate of muskau in an introduction to the study of landscape design hubbard states that pckler is important not only because of his extensive amount of work as a designer but also because of his considerable amount of ideological writing on the topic

completely understand the landscape design styles the way is to study the history and the characteristics of the designers and to figure out the influence of their objects circumstances and landscape design and help to create the designers individual styles in addition to that the authors generalized about three factors of development of individual styles which are their surroundings designers characters and usages those lead the directions and reveal on their designs moreover a strong individual style gives people an impressive image and usually becomes the core of that era the hubbards discussed the various styles of landscape design in this book the moorish style in spainthe gardens are filled with fruit trees flowers and water features and encircled by buildings which protect people from outside the vegetation makes shadows and water can cool the temperature down those are necessary for the hot and dry weather in the moorish gardens the garden of the alhambra and the generaliffe at granada are the examples of the moorish style in spain the style of the italian renaissance and baroque villas the villas were designed for aristocrats and built on the hills with great view this style is recognized by the adornment of sculptures water features and complicated axial gardens were also designed for great nobles and changed into a large scale the ornate decorations symmetry and complicated geometric figures are the main elements of the le ntres style everything in the gardens is formal and ordered the style of architecture and landscape design reveals the grand power and economy of kings and nobles in th century of europe the style of le ntre led a new stream and was imitated by many countries for example versailles the romantic landscape style this style is not as formal as the formers been discussed and uses less geometrical shapes and axes the design shows a simple and natural form the english cottage style this style is much different than others no beautiful decoration grand buildings and ornate water fountains instead of those were small gardens low buildings and natural environment the modern german formal style the style also designed in the natural and simple way the japanese styles the japanese garden contains more natural materials into its design everything in the gardens has its expresses harmonious and peaceful for people to relax

 the following is the slovak order of battle in during the slovakhungarian war overview the slovak army was newly born from the disorganized remnants of the former and wellequipped czechoslovak army and air force such was slovakia s lack of preparedness that the motorised hungarian columns initially met almost no resistance reportedly surprising two companies of slovaks in their beds the situation of the slovak army lieutenantgeneral augustn malr was responsible for the defence of the eastern border with ruthenia vi corps which he had inherited from the czechoslovak army had already been seriously disrupted the previous autumn by the vienna award which had obliged it to abandon its border fortifications and remove its headquarters from koice to preov the hungarian occupation of ruthenia carpathoukraine where the garrison the th division had come under vi corps jurisdiction had further undermined it as vi corps had largely been based among unlreliable hungarians and ruthenes it had a very high proportion of czechs in its ranks back into eastern slovakia over the period of march but it then dissolved itself virtually completely as its czech officers and men headed for home similarly the regiments of the vi corps slovakbased th and th divisions which should have had men each were only left with between and slovaks apiece once all their czechs had gone home this left the eastern border virtually undefended therefore malr began to fill out his skeleton units with the reservists called up on march at the same time generals jurech and imro in the west of the country began to form units to support malr as slovak officers and conscripts began to return from bohemia and moravia but their move to the east was delayed because roads and railways became crowded with czech troops being repatriated in the opposite direction the whole repatriation and reinforcement operation had to be organised by the various inexperienced and desperately overstretched slovak staffs especially that of malr in preov there was often bad feelings on both sides to be roundly abused at the station by a slovak officer who assumed from his rank that he must be a czech some czech troops sabotaged their equipment rather than let the slovaks have it malr did manage to persuade a number of czech officers to stay on temporarily to help slovakia against the hungarians but the general confusion could not be adequately sorted out during the very brief period of hostilities with hungary these factors also prevented the remains of the czechoslovak rd rapid division which was based in the far west of the country from being deployed to good effect in the east its rd tank regiment was left with only out of officers and out of other ranks when all the czech soldiers went home this was a decisive disadvantage because the regiment s lt vz and lt vz light tanks kdpraga tanik vz tankettes oa vz and oa vz armoured cars were more than a match for the five obsolete fiat b light armoured cars of the hungarian invasion force the only armour malr had available in eastern slovakia were the oa vz armoured cars and nine lt vz light tanks which the czechs had evacuated from carpathoukraine to humene and preov however once in slovakia their embittered czech crews had sabotaged all of them as a result none of them were immediately available when the fighting started on march vi corps commanderinchief lieutenantgeneral augustn malr th infantry regiment partially th infantry regiment th infantry regiment partially th artillery regiment partially th artillery regiment partially armoured car platoon oa vz armoured cars tank platoon lt vz light tanks air force th flight based in spisk nov ves th flight based in spisk nov ves with avia b fighter aircraft th flight based in spisk nov ves with letov tactical reconnaissance aircraft and aero ap tactical reconnaissance aircraft th flight based in spisk nov ves with letov tactical reconnaissance aircraft and ap tactical reconnaissance aircraft notes references sources axworthy mark wa axis slovakia hitler s slavic wedge bayside ny axis europa books isbn

 peevyhouse v garland coal amp mining co pd okl is a us contract law case decided by the supreme court of oklahoma it concerns the question of when specific performance of a contractual obligation will be granted and the measure of expectation damages facts willie and lucille peevyhouse owned a farm containing coal deposits in november they entered into a contract with garland coal amp mining co they gave garland a five year lease to strip mine the coal in return for a royalty and the promise that the land would be restored once they were done in the lease agreement was the following d lessee agrees to leave the creek crossing the above premises in such a condition that it will not interfere with the crossings to be made in pits as set out in b f lessee further agrees to leave no shale or dirt on the high wall of said pits coal mining can often work through was cheaper to restore the land the overburden must be shifted back in this case at a cost of when there were recurrent floods garland refused to put the land back the peevyhouses sued the jury returned a verdict for the peevyhouses for and garland appealed again judgment the supreme court of oklahoma found that while the coal company breached its contract with the peevyhouses garland did not have to fix the property nor pay for the work necessary to restore the land but instead could just pay the peevyhouses for the difference in land value the land while destroyed had only lost in value the court found that to pay the peevyhouses to restore their land would be an economic waste since the in labor would result only in a improvement of the land justice jackson gave the leading judgment briefly stated the facts are as follows plaintiffs owned a farm containing coal deposits and in november leased the premises to purposes a stripmining operation was contemplated in which the coal would be taken from pits on the surface of the ground instead of from underground mine shafts in addition to the usual covenants found in a coal mining lease defendant specifically agreed to perform certain restorative and remedial work at the end of the lease period it is unnecessary to set out the details of the work to be done other than to say that it would involve the moving of many thousands of cubic yards of dirt at a cost estimated by expert witnesses at about however plaintiffs sued for only during the trial it was stipulated that all covenants and agreements in the lease contract had been fully carried out by both parties except the remedial work mentioned above defendant conceded that this work had not been done plaintiffs introduced expert testimony as to the amount and nature of the work to be done over plaintiffs objections defendant thereafter introduced expert testimony as to the diminution in value of plaintiffs performance as agreed in the contractthat is the difference between the present value of the farm and what its value would have been if defendant had done what it agreed to the jury returned a verdict for plaintiffs for only a fraction of the cost of performance but more than the total value of the farm even after the remedial work is done on appeal the issue is sharply drawn plaintiffs contend that the true measure of damages in this case is what it will cost plaintiffs to obtain performance of the work that was not done because of defendant s default defendant argues that the measure of damages is the cost of performance limited however to the total difference in the market value before and after the work was performed if the remedial work were done said justice jackson peevyhouse s farm s market value increase only we therefore hold that where in a coal mining lease lessee agrees to perform certain remedial work on the premises concerned at the end of performed by both parties except that the remedial work is not done the measure of damages in an action by lessor against lessee for damages for breach of contact is ordinarily the reasonable cost of performance of the work however where the contract provision breached was merely incidental to the main purpose in view and where the economic benefit which would result to lessor by full performance of the work is grossly disproportionate to the cost of performance the damages which lessor may recover are limited to the diminution in value resulting to the premises because of the nonperformance under the most liberal view of the evidence herein the diminution in value resulting to the premises because of nonperformance of the remedial work was it thus appears that the judgment was clearly excessive and that the amount for which judgment should have been rendered is definitely and satisfactorily shown by the record justices welch davison halley and johnson concurred chief justice williams blackbird vcj berry j and irwin j dissented justice irwin s dissent in question could have been reasonably approximated when the contract was negotiated and executed and there are no conditions now existing which could not have been reasonably anticipated by the parties therefore defendant had knowledge when it prevailed upon the plaintiffs to execute the lease that the cost of performance might be disproportionate to the value or benefits received by plaintiff for the performance in the instant action defendant has made no attempt to even substantially perform the contract in question is not immoral is not tainted with fraud and was not entered into through mistake or accident and is not contrary to public policy it is clear and unambiguous and the parties understood the terms thereof and the approximate cost of fulfilling the obligations could have been approximately ascertained there are no conditions existing now which could not have been reasonably anticipated when the contract was negotiated and executed the defendant could have performed the contract if it desired it has accepted and reaped the benefits of its contract and now urges that plaintiffs under the in my opinion the plaintiffs were entitled to specific performance of the contract and since defendant has failed to perform the proper measure of damages should be the cost of performance addendum according to swan reiter and bala two of the judges who sided with the majority in peevyhouse were later involved in a serious bribery scandal there is some suggestion that counsel for garland coal could have improperly influenced some of the judges in other cases but there is no suggestion that a bribe affected the outcome in peevyhouse a case of relatively little financial consequence to garland coal controversy the united states court of appeals for the tenth circuit determined in rock island improvement co v helmerich amp payne inc fd th cir that the oklahoma supreme court relied on an oklahoma statute providing that no person can recover a greater amount in damages for a breach of an obligation than he would have gained by the full performance thereof on both sides and land reclamation act of declaring it the policy of oklahoma to provide after mining operations are completed for the reclamation and conservation of land subjected to surface disturbance by open cut mining therefore reasoned the tenth circuit we are convinced that the oklahoma supreme court would no longer apply the rule it established in peevyhouse in relying on rock island the united states district court for the western district of oklahoma in davis v shell oil co fsupp asserted as fact that courts in oklahoma do not follow peevyhouse however in a rebuke to both federal courts the oklahoma supreme court sharply reasserted the peevyhouse rule in schneberger v apache corp pd okla declaring whatever the rationale the essence of the peevyhouse holdingto award diminution in value rather than cost of performance has been consistently adhered to and it

 kingdom of poland duchy of pomerania kalmar union holy roman empire king of denmark king of norway king of sweden duke of pomerania duke of pomerelia prince of rgen the house of griffins or house of pomerania also known as house of greifen was a dynasty of dukes ruling the duchy of pomerania from the th century until the name griffins was used by the dynasty after the th century and had been taken from the ducal coat of arms wartislaw i around died august was the first historical ruler of the duchy of pomerania and the founder of the griffin dynasty the most prominent griffin was eric of pomerania who became king of the kalmar union in thus ruling denmark sweden and norway another griffin the last griffin duke of pomerania was bogislaw xiv who died during the thirty years war which led to the division of pomerania between of duke bogislaw xiii and the last griffin died in name of the dynasty the dynasty is known by two names pomerania after their primary fief and griffin after their coat of arms which had depicted a griffin since the late th century the first verifiable use of the griffin as the dynasty s heraldic emblem occurred in a seal of casimir ii duke of pomerania which showed the imaginary beast within a shield and was attached to a document dated the name pomerania comes from slavic po more which means land at the sea origins and branches the origins of the griffins are not clear most theories derive them from either local slavic nobility or a cadet branch of polish house of piasts medieval polish chronicler jan dugosz connected them with polish noble family of wiebodzice from the south province of poland named the lesser poland who also used a griffin as their coatofarms in the beings from sorbs mythology called gryphus or baltus the first known members of the griffins were the brothers wartislaw i and ratibor i wartislaw would be the ancestor of the line of dukes that ruled the duchy of pomerania until ratibor would be the ancestor of the ratiborides branch of the griffins that was to rule the lands of schlawestolp until the line went extinct and the area was incorporated in the duchy of pomerania the first known member of the

 thermometric titration is one of a number of instrumental titration techniques where endpoints can be located accurately and precisely without a subjective interpretation on the part of the analyst as to their location enthalpy change is arguably the most fundamental and universal property of chemical reactions so the observation of temperature change is a natural choice in monitoring their progress it is not a new technique with possibly the first recognizable thermometric titration method reported early in the th century bell and cowell in spite of its attractive features and in spite of the considerable research that has been conducted in the field and a large body of applications that have been developed it has been until now an underutilized technique in the critical area of industrial process and quality control automated potentiometric titration systems have predominated in this area since the s with the advent of cheap computers able to handle the powerful thermometric titration software development has now reached the stage where easy to use automated thermometric titration systems can in many applications of thermometric titrimetry discussed on this page are by no means exhaustive the reader is referred to the bibliography for further reading on the subject comparison between potentiometric and thermometric titrations potentiometric titrimetry has been the predominant automated titrimetric technique since the s so it is worthwhile considering the basic differences between it and thermometric titrimetry toolong titrations rely on a free energy change in the reaction system measurement of a free energy dependent term is necessary g sup sup rt ln k where g sup sup change on free energy r universal gas constant t temperature in kelvins k or degrees rankine r k equilibrium constant at temperature t ln is the natural logarithm function in order for a reaction to be amenable to potentiometric titrimetry the free energy change a significant inflection or kink in the titration curve where sensor response is plotted against the amount of titrant delivered however free energy is just one of three related parameters in describing any chemical reaction h sup sup g sup sup t s sup sup where h sup sup change in enthalpy g sup sup change in free energy s sup sup change in entropy t temperature in k for any reaction where the free energy is not opposed by the entropy change the enthalpy change will be significantly greater than the free energy thus a titration based on a change in temperature which permits observation of the enthalpy change will show a greater inflection than will curves obtained from sensors reacting to free energy changes alone added at a known constant rate to a titrand until the completion of the reaction is indicated by a change in temperature the endpoint is determined by an inflection in the curve generated by the output of a temperature measuring device consider the titration reaction a a b b p p where a the titrant and a the corresponding number of moles reacting b the analyte and b the corresponding number of moles reacting p the product and p the corresponding number of moles produced at completion the reaction produces a molar heat of reaction h sub r sub which is shown as a measurable temperature change t in an ideal system where no losses or gains of heat due to environmental influences are involved the progress of the reaction is observed as whether h sub r sub is negative indicating an exothermic reaction or positive indicating an endothermic reaction in this context environmental influences may include heat losses or gains from outside the system via the vessel walls and cover differences in the temperature between the titrant and the titrand evaporative losses from the surface of the rapidly mixed fluid heats of solution when the titrant solvent is mixed with the analyte solvent heat introduced by the mechanical action of stirring minor influence and heat produced by the thermistor itself very minor influence if the equilibrium for the reaction lies far to the right ie a stoichiometric equilibrium has been achieved then when all analyte has been reacted by the titrant continuing addition of titrant will be revealed by a sharp break in the temperaturevolume curve figures a and b illustrate idealized examples the shape of experimentally obtained thermometric titration plots will vary from such idealized examples and some of the environmental influences listed above may this can be due to insensitivity of the sensor or where thermal equilibrium at the endpoint is slow to occur it can also occur where the reaction between titrant and titrand does not proceed to stoichiometric completion the determinant of the degree to which a reaction will proceed to completion is the free energy change if this is favourable then the reaction will proceed to be completion and be essentially stoichiometric in this case the sharpness of the endpoint is dependent on the magnitude of the enthalpy change if it is unfavourable the endpoint will be rounded regardless of the magnitude of the enthalpy change reactions where nonstoichiometric equilibria are evident can be used to obtain satisfactory results using a thermometric titration approach if the portions of the titration curve both prior to and after the endpoint are reasonably linear then the intersection of tangents to these lines will accurately locate the endpoint this is illustrated in figure consider the reaction for the equation a a b nonstoichiometric at equilibrium let a represent the titrant and b the titrand at the beginning of the titration the titrand b is strongly in excess and the reaction is pushed towards completion under these conditions for a constant rate of titrant addition the temperature increase is constant and the curve is essentially linear until the endpoint is approached in a similar manner when the titrant is in excess past the endpoint a linear temperature response can also be anticipated thus intersection of tangents will reveal the true endpoint an actual thermometric titration plot for the determination of a strong base with a strong acid is illustrated in figure the most practical sensor for measuring temperature change in titrating solutions has been found to be the thermistor thermistors are small solid state devices which exhibit relatively large changes in electrical resistance for small changes in temperature they are manufactured from sintered mixed metal oxides with lead wires enabling connection to electrical circuitry the thermistor is encapsulated in a suitable electrically insulating medium with satisfactory thermistors used for chemical analysis the encapsulating medium is glass although thermistors encapsulated in epoxy resin may be used in circumstances where either chemical attack eg by acidic fluoridecontaining solutions or severe mechanical stress is anticipated the thermistor is supported by suitable electronic circuitry to maximize sensitivity to minute changes in solution temperature the circuitry in the metrohm titrotherm thermometric titration interface moldule is capable of resolving temperature changes as low as sup sup k a critical element in modern automated thermometric titrimetry is the ability to locate the endpoint with a high degree of reproducibility it is clearly impractical and insufficient for modern demands of accuracy and precision to estimate the inflection by intersection of tangents this is done conveniently by derivatization of the temperature curve the second derivative essentially locates the intersection of tangents to the temperature curve immediately pre and post the breakpoint thermistors respond quickly to small changes in temperature such as temperature gradients in the mixed titration solution and thus the signal can exhibit a small amount of noise prior to filter the temperature curve in order to obtain sharp symmetrical second derivative peaks which will accurately locate the correct inflection point this is illustrated in figure the degree of digital smoothing is optimized for each determination and is stored as a method parameter for application every time a titration for that particular analysis is run because enthalpy change is a universal characteristic of chemical reactions thermometric endpoint sensing can be applied to a wide range of titration types eg acidbase redox complexometric edta and precipitation further since the sensor is not required to interact with the titration solution electrochemically titrations in nonconducting media can be performed as can titrations using reactions for which no convenient or costeffective potentiometric sensor is available thermometric titrations generally demand rapid reaction kinetics in order to obtain sharp reproducible endpoints where reaction kinetics are slow and direct titrations between titrant and titrand are not possible indirect or backtitrations often can be devised to solve the problem catalytically enhanced endpoints can be used in very small and endpoints would not be detected satisfactorily by the titration software the suitability of a particular chemical reaction as a candidate for a thermometric titration procedure can generally be predicted on the basis of the estimated amount of analyte present in the sample and the enthalpy of the reaction however other parameters such as the kinetics of the reaction the sample matrix itself heats of dilution and losses of heat to the environment can affect the outcome a properly designed experimental program is the most reliable way of determining the viability of a thermometric titration approach successful applications for thermometric titrations are generally where titranttitrand reaction kinetics are fast and chemical equilibria are stoichiometric or nearly so thermometric titration determinations may be recommended where the analyst wishes to simplify the conduct of a variety of titrations by using one sensor for all for example a laboratory might conduct routinely acidbase redox complexometric sulfate and chloride titrations a single thermometric sensor in conjunction with an autosampler will enable all titrations to be titration sensors after preparation of the samples and placing in the carousel the analyst assigns the appropriate thermometric method to the beaker position in the carousel the titration environment is considered unsuitable for conventional titration sensors for example glass membrane ph electrodes must be kept adequately hydrated for proper operation the use of such electrodes in substantially nonaqueous media as in the determination of trace acids in lipids and lubricating oils can lead to loss of performance as the membrane fouls and dehydrates andor if the reference junction is partly or completely blocked it is often necessary to keep a number of electrodes cycling through a rejuvenation program in order to keep up with an analytical workload thermometric sensors have no electrochemical interaction with the titrating solution and therefore can be used on a continuous basis with essentially no maintenance similarly the potentiometric titration of sulfate with barium chloride in various industrial samples can lead to rapid degradation of the indicating barium ion selective electrode a thermometric titration methodology which can not be emulated using other types by other techniques examples are the determination of fluoride by titration with boric acid the analysis of orthophosphate by titration with magnesium ions and the direct titration of aluminium with fluoride ions apparatus and setup for automated thermometric titrimetry a suitable setup for automated thermometric titrimetry comprises the following precision fluid dispensing devices burettes for adding titrants and dosing of other reagents thermistorbased thermometric sensor titration

system a dosing device b thermometric sensor c stirring device d thermometric titration interface module e computer types of thermometric titration groupings namely acidbase tritration redox titration precipitation titration complexometric titration because the sensor does not interact electrically or electrochemically with the solution electrical conductance of the titrating medium is not a prerequisite for a determination titrations may be carried out in completely nonconducting nonpolar media if required further titrations may be carried out in turbid solutions or even suspensions of solids and titrations where precipitates are reaction products can be contemplated the range of possible thermometric titration applications far exceeds the actual experience of this writer and the reader will be referred to the appropriate literature in some instances acidbase titrations determination of fully dissociated acids and bases the heat of neutralization of a fully dissociated acid with a fully dissociated base is approximately kjmol the reaction is thus strongly exothermic and is an excellent basis for a wide range of analysis in industry an advantage for the industrial analyst is that the use of stronger titrants to moll permits a reduction often be directly and accurately dispensed into the titration vessel prior to titration titration of weak acids weakly dissociated acids yield sharp thermometric endpoints when titrated with a strong base for instance bicarbonate can be unequivocally determined in the company of carbonate by titrating with hydroxyl sup sup h sub r sub kjmol titration of acid mixtures mixtures of complex acids can be resolved by thermometric titration with standard naoh in aqueous solution in a mixture of nitric acetic and phosphoric acids used in the fabrication of semiconductors three endpoints could be predicted on the basis of the dissociation constants of the acids the key to determine the amount of each acid present in the mixture is the ability to obtain an accurate value for the amount of phosphoric acid present as revealed by titration of the third proton of h sub sub po sub sub figure illustrates a titration plot of this mixture showing sharp endpoints titration of complex alkaline solutions the thermometric in the production of alumina from bauxite is accomplished in an automated two titration sequence this is an adaptation of a classic thermometric titration application vandalen and ward in the first titration tartrate solution is added to an aliquot of liquor to complex aluminate releasing one mole of hydroxyl for each mole of aluminate present this is titrated acidimetrically along with free hydroxyl present and the carbonate content as a second endpoint the second titration is preceded by the automatic addition of fluoride solution the aluminatartrate complex is broken in favour of the formation of an aluminium fluoride complex and the concomitant release of three moles of hydroxyl for each mole of aluminium present which are then titrated acidimetrically the whole determination can be completed in less than minutes nonaqueous acidbase titrations nonaqueous acidbase titrations can be carried out advantageously by thermometric means acid leach solutions from some copper mines can contain large quantities of feiii as well as cuii the free acid sulfuric acid content of these titrimetry can determine the free acid content with modest amounts of feiii in some solutions the feiii content is so high as to cause serious interference complexation with necessarily large amounts of oxalate is undesirable due to the toxicity of the reagent a thermometric titration was devised by diluting the aliquot with propanol and titration with standard koh in propanol most of the metal content precipitated prior to the commencement of the titration and a clear sharp endpoint for the sulfuric acid content was obtained catalyzed endpoint thermometric acidbase titrations the determination of trace acids in organic matrices is a common analytical task assigned to titrimetry examples are total acid number tan in mineral and lubricating oils and free fatty acids ffa in edible fats and oils automated potentiometric titration procedures have been granted standard method status for example by astm for tan and aoac for ffa the methodology is similar in both instances the sample is dissolved in a suitable solvent mixture say a hydrocarbon and an alcohol which also must intended to enhance the electrical conductivity of the solution the trace acids are titrated with standard base in an alcohol the sample environment is essentially hostile to the ph electrode used to sense the titration the electrode must be taken out of service on a regular basis to rehydrate the glass sensing membrane which is also in danger of fouling by the oily sample solution a recent thermometric titrimetric procedure for the determination of ffa developed by cameiro et al has been shown to be particularly amenable to automation it is fast highly precise and results agree very well with those obtained by the official aoac method the temperature change for the titration of very weak acids such as oleic acid by moll koh in propanol is too small to yield an accurate endpoint in this procedure a small amount of paraformaldehyde as a fine powder is added to the titrand before the titration at the endpoint the first excess of hydroxyl ions catalyzes the depolymerization of paraformaldehyde the titration plot is illustrated in figure the speed of this titration coupled with its precision and accuracy makes it ideal for the analysis of ffa in biodiesel feedstocks and product redox titrations titrations with permanganate and dichromate redox reactions are normally strongly exothermic and can make excellent candidates for thermometric titrations in the classical determination of ferrous ion with permanganate the reaction enthalpy is more than double that of a strong

minimizes iodine losses during the course of the titration titrations with hypochlorite while relatively unstable and requiring frequent standardization sodium hypochlorite has been used in a very rapid thermometric titration method for the determination of ammonium ion this is an alternative to the classical approach of ammonia distillation from basic solution and consequent acidbase titration the thermometric titration is carried out in bicarbonate complexometric edta titrations thermometric titrations employing sodium salts of toolong acid edta have been demonstrated for the determination of a range of metal ions reaction enthalpies are modest so titrations are normally carried out with titrant concentrations of moll this necessitates the use of the tetrasodium salt of edta rather than the more common disodium salt which is saturated at a concentration of only approximately moll an excellent application is the sequential determination of calcium and magnesium although calcium reacts exothermically with edta heat of chelation kjmol magnesium reacts endothermically with a heat of chelation of kjmol this is illustrated in the titration plot of edta with calcium and magnesium in sea water figure following the solution temperature curve the breakpoint for the calcium content redtagged endpoint is followed by a region of modest temperature rise due to competition between the heats of dilution of the titrant with the solution and the endothermic reaction of mg sup sup and edta bluetagged endpoint by edta is revealed by upswing in temperature caused purely by the heat of dilution direct edta titrations with metal ions are possible when reaction kinetics are fast for example zinc copper calcium and magnesium however with slower reaction kinetics such as those exhibited by cobalt and nickel backtitrations are used titrations for cobalt and nickel are carried out in an ammoniacal environment buffered with ammoniaammonium chloride solution an excess of edta is added and is backtitrated with cuii solution it is postulated that the breakpoint is revealed by the difference in reaction enthalpies between the formation of the cuedta complex and that for the formation of the cuamine complex a catalyzed endpoint procedure to determine trace amounts of metal ions in solution down to approximately mgl employs moll edta this has been applied to the determination of low level cuii in specialized plating baths and to the determination of total hardness in water the reaction enthalpies of edta with most metal ions are often quite employed with commensurately high amounts of titrand in order to obtain sharp reproducible endpoints using a catalytically indicated endpoint very low edta titrant concentrations can be used a backtitration is used an excess of edta solution is added the excess of edta is backtitrated with a suitable metal ion such as mn sup sup or cu sup sup at the endpoint the first excess of metal ion catalyzes a strongly exothermic reaction between a polyhdric phenol such as resorcinol and hydrogen peroxide precipitation titrations thermometric titrimetry is particularly suited to the determination of a range of analytes where a precipitate is formed by reaction with the titrant in some cases an alternative to traditional potentiometric titration practice can be offered in other cases reaction chemistries may be employed for which there is no satisfactory equivalent in potentiometric titrimetry titrations with silver nitrate thermometric titrations of silver nitrate with halides and cyanide are all possible the reaction of silver nitrate with chloride is strongly exothermic for instance the reaction is a high kjmol this permits convenient determination of chloride with commonly available standard moll agno sub sub endpoints are very sharp and with care chloride concentrations down to mgl can be analyzed bromide and chloride may be determined in admixture titration of sulfate sulfate may be rapidly and easily titrated thermometrically using standard solutions of ba sup sup as titrant industrially the procedure has been applied to the determination of sulfate in brine including electrolysis brines in nickel refining solutions and particularly for sulfate in wet process phosphoric acid where it has proven to be quite popular the procedure can also be used to assist in the analysis of complex acid mixtures containing sulfuric acid where resorting to titration in nonaqueous media is not feasible the reaction enthalpy for the formation of barium sulfate is a modest kjmol this can place a restriction on the lower limit of sulfate in a sample which can be analyzed titration of aluminium with fluoride thermometric titrimetry offers a rapid solution a solution of aluminium is conditioned with acetate

interferences need to be considered titration of anionic and cationic surfactants anionic and cationic surfactants can be determined thermometrically by titrating one type against the other for instance benzalkonium chloride a quaternary type cationic surfactant may be determined in cleaners and algaecides for swimming pools and spas by titrating with a standard solution of sodium dodecyl

 developer starring plain list robert carlyle louis ferreira brian j smith elyse levesque david blue alaina huffman jamil walker smith mingna language english status cancelled stargate universe often abbreviated as sgu is a canadianamerican military science fiction television series and part of mgm s stargate franchise it follows the adventures of a presentday multinational exploration team traveling on the ancient spaceship destiny over million light years distant from the milky way galaxy they evacuated there and are now trying to figure out a way to return to earth while simultaneously trying to explore and to survive in their unknown area of the universe the series created by brad wright and robert c cooper premiered in the united states on syfy on october the series featured an ensemble cast and was primarily filmed in and around vancouver bc canada a second season of first episodes of the second season were aired in the united states beginning on september and the final were shown beginning on march syfy announced on december that it would not be picking up stargate universe for a third season the second season of sgu ended as a semicliffhanger to resolve this a movie was planned however due to timing constraints stargate writer and executive producer brad wright announced on april that the sgu movie had been cancelled premise the stargate program has founded icarus base on a remote planet whose stargate is powered by large naquadria deposits throughout the core the team led by dr nicholas rush postulate that the power from that core could allow them to use a chevron code to dial into the stargate allowing them access to locations far remote from their galaxy but lack the means to translate the properly dr rush designs a video game used across earth to find brilliant minds to interpret the puzzle which eli wallace a young mathematics genius is able to solve eli is reluctantly brought to icarus base along with a contingent of guests of honor aboard the hammond a daedalusclass starship battlecruiser the guests include senator armstrong who funds the icarus project and his daughter chloe they are introduced to the base s military staff led by colonel everett young colonel david telford first lieutenants matthew scott and tamara johansen and master sergeant ronald greer dr rush and eli work together to discover the means to dial the ninth chevron just as the base is attacked by members of the lucian alliance colonel telford aids in an aerial assault of the ships with the hammond while the base starts dialing earth into the stargate finding that the planet s power core is about to explode dr rush realizes that the explosion would follow them the stargate with the ninth chevron successfully opening a wormhole the surviving icarus base members flee through the wormhole before the planet explodes they find themselves aboard an old abandoned spacecraft made by the ancients which dr rush finds was named destiny the eightysome survivors begin to assure the safety of their team during which senator armstrong sacrifices himself to seal an air leak in one of destiny s shuttles as the rest of the team works to make the ship hospitable dr rush eli and other scientific members of icarus base start to understand the function of destiny they are not able to directly control the ship and find that it will drop out of fasterthanlight travel to allow its stargate to connect to a number of nearby worlds for a fixed period of time before it continues it fuels itself by diving into the outermost layer of a nearby star and collecting energy from it the first time the destiny until they understood why it happened the crew is able to remain in contact with earth via a set of ancient communication stones that colonel young brought and are told to continue the stargate mission of exploring that galaxy while searching for a way to return home cast robert carlyle as nicholas rush the ship s brilliant machiavellian scientist whom producer joseph mallozzi had first mentioned in his blog in midnovember as dr david rush the ship s crew believe rush to be losing his mind but he does things for a reason carlyle explained in an interview that after rush lost his wife to cancer he became driven by the opportunity to explore the galaxy mallozzi rectified casting reports in middecember that rush is not the leader of the unplanned expedition that honor falls to colonel everett young for now but things could have a way of changing on board a ship manned by a disparate group with very different agendas although a confirmed main character rush was not included intended the character to be very different from any previous main characters in the stargate franchise somebody who is not the hero not the villain and more of a very flawed and complex person about a year before being cast scottish actor robert carlyle wanted to try something new in his career and approached television companies in los angeles they offered him several parts but stargate universe had the greatest appeal to him as suddenly a drama was opening up in space and in the past that was something that was slightly missing from the genre he was aware of the success of the stargate franchise and had seen quite a bit of sg plus a bunch of atlantis carlyle accepted the role because of wright and cooper s take on the drama and direction of the show and he was more than prepared to play the character for possibly many years carlyle kept his scottish accent for in the initial character breakdown as a handsome capable former sg team leader in his s who holds the rank of colonel he is like the jack oneill of ten years ago yet has sharper edges at the beginning of stargate universe he has been married for approximately five years and is the temporary commander of a secret offworld base young is rush s nemesis on the ship brian j smith as matthew scott a yearold skilled and welltrained airman and junior sgc member holding the rank of first lieutenant he is mentally unprepared for the urgency of the situation aboard the ship he was named jared nash in the initial casting call before being cast brian j smith had been working as a stage actor in new york for a year and a half smith taped his stargate universe audition and was invited to a screen test in los angeles he received the news of being cast a few days after the screen test he prepared for seen the stargate tv series before being cast but caught up with much of sg afterwards elyse levesque as chloe armstrong she is a stunning and sexy daughter of a us senator years old whose character is tested after her father s tragic death and the dire circumstances of being trapped on a spaceship her father played by christopher mcdonald had political oversight over the stargate project trying to dial the ninth chevron before the producers settled on the final name the character was named chloe carpenter and chloe walker levesque s wonderfully nuanced audition convinced the producers to cast her as she demonstrated an impressive range in two very different and demanding scenes david blue as eli wallace named eli hitchcock in the casting call eli wallace is a total slacker in his early twenties and an utter genius in mathematics computers and other fields he is a social outcast with an acerbic sense of humor and lacks confidence in his intelligence from good will hunting with a little jack black thrown in he was the main source of comic relief in the show david blue a selfdeclared fan of the science fiction series has seen all sg and atlantis episodes alaina huffman as tamara johansen named tamara jon in the character breakdown she is an sgc medic in her midtwenties with offworld experience and the rank of first lieutenant friends call her tj she finds herself the most medically experienced person aboard the ship after the death of the icarus base doctor in the pilot episode air according to cocreator robert c cooper she has a modest background yet is beautiful tough smart and capable but also has a secretive past with another member of the destiny s new crew at the beginning of the series she is overwhelmed by the lack of medical knowledge experience medicines and supplies aboard the ship mallozzi considered huffman frankly we would ve been crazy not to cast her jamil walker smith as ronald greer in early casting documents named ron psycho stasiak ronald greer is a big strong silent marine with a mysterious past who lacks control over his temper in noncombat situations the character breakdown compares him to eric bana s character hoot in black hawk down his rank is master sergeant mingna as camile wray camile wray is the first openly gay character in the stargate franchise she is the ioa representative on destiny and supports civilian leadership on the ship mingna was credited as a regular character in the first two episodes she was downgraded to a recurring character from then on until the episode justice in which she returned and continued as a regular character production conception stargate producers brad wright and robert c cooper conceived stargate universe as a completely separate third entity in the liveaction atlantis which was created as a spinoff from the first series stargate sg they wanted to produce a stylistically and totally different tv series with a more mature and fresh story approach so as not to get too repetitive wright and cooper originally planned to write the pilot script for stargate universe during the summer of making a premiere possible since their ambitions with the previous liveaction stargate series were often restricted by the low budget and risked coming across as silly they pitched the show as an expensive series to the sci fi channel now syfy in the last quarter of although the pitch was wellreceived the project was put on hold because of the ongoing work on stargate atlantis and stargate continuum and the writers guild of america strike the series was given the official greenlight for a debut by syfy on august shortly after been announced joseph mallozzi explained that a new series would have lower salaries and licensing fees than a new sixth season of atlantis would have had mgm cofunded the project according to costar robert carlyle each episode had a budget of million us dollars brad wright pitched the series and its first five episodes to the stargate atlantis writers and producers in midseptember wright cooper and carl binder produce the show while joseph mallozzi and paul mullie serve as writers and consultant producers stargate atlantis writers martin gero and alan mccullough contribute scripts but are not part of the regular writer staff new writers were initially sought for freelance scripts and possible staff positions author john scalzi was hired as a creative consultant a background rather than foreground sort of job most of the stargate atlantis crew such as stunt coordinator james bamford and composer joel goldsmith have moved over to universe regulars created for casting calls leaked on the internet on september joseph mallozzi explained the largely negative initial fan reaction as a passionate response to the preceding cancellation announcement of atlantis brad wright dismissed negative comments as a sole reaction to the wording of the network character breakdowns are written to aid casting directors and agents in the selection process and always sound shallow and if they re written to appear deep it s just ridiculous robert c cooper replied to concerns of young age that the sg cast was also quite young in their first season the producers were looking for people who are a little more identifiable and contemporary with an everyman on the street point of view after being challenged by the situation martin gero considered stargate universe as an ensemble show more than the previous two stargate liveaction series were auditions were held in los angeles the producers were looking for wellknown cast either new faces or people you ve seen in other stuff but maybe are nt as aware of bafta and screen actors guild awardwinning actor robert carlyle was the first announced series regular in middecember the casting of louis ferreira david blue brian j smith and jamil walker smith as series regulars was announced in midjanuary the casting of alaina huffman and elyse levesque was announced in late february along with other actors whose status as regular or recurring cast has not been established the cast is american blue b smith j smith mingna canadian ferreira levesque and huffman and british carlyle writing and filming the writers started drafting stories for the first season in midnovember the united states air force and marine corps reviewed the scripts the projected film start of stargate universe was initially slated for february but was moved to february the show is filmed set and icarus base set at the bridge studios sg and atlantis had been filmed at stages and and on location in and around vancouver british columbia air part was filmed in and around alamogordo new mexico from late april through early may stargate universe will show computergenerated worlds filmed in digital sets stargate universe will have a markedly different shooting style for more reality and immediacy with inspiration from cloverfield as if a documentary crew were to ride along on this adventure to outer space prebroadcast marketing sci fi wire published concept art of the destiny in october the first promotional picture of the cast out of costume and in casual clothing was released on march the same day syfy began airing thirtysecond trailers of universe showing various clips of and the sgu stargate with the first visual effects mgm revealed its revamped stargate universe website on july with an interactive virtual set tour of the destiny interviews with the cast character profiles and videos joseph mallozzi began posting concept art and behindthescenes photos of the sgu set on his blog afterwards brad wright robert c cooper and most members of the main cast appeared at an sgu panel at the san diego comiccon on july behindthescenes material is shot for future online and dvd use premise and themes stargate universe is set on the spaceship destiny which was launched by the race known as the ancients from the milky way galaxy several million years ago several ships were sent ahead of it to seed the universe with stargates the ancients had planned on using the stargate aboard destiny to board that ship when it was abandoned the project after looking into ascension amongst other things in order to reach this ship an address would have to be dialed consisting of nine chevrons a possibility that had been unknown in the previous stargate series due to energy constraints the series begins when a team of soldiers and scientists from presentday earth escape through the stargate and arrive on the destiny after their base is attacked many of its primary systems are damaged or failing and they are unable to return to earth or even maneuver the ship however the destiny periodically stops to dial the stargate to planets with necessary supplies to repair the ship and sustain human life the writers have discussed the possibility that each season represents a voyage of the destiny through a different galaxy stargate universe is intended to appeal to both veteran fans and newcomers being firmly entrenched in established stargate mythology without relying on stargate themes of adventure and exploration but focuses mostly on the people aboard the ship sgu is also more serialized than its predecessors although the writers attempted to resolve each character story within the episode there was a conscious effort to avoid making sgu too serialized with the serialization stemming mainly from character development the industry described the show with the buzzwords dark and edgy according to robert c cooper the essence of the story is that sort of fear and terror of a tragedy combined with the sense that there is hope for us in the basic ways in which human beings survive the planned increased levels of drama are balanced with humor to avoid pretentiousness the differences between good and evil are meant to be less apparent as the ship is populated with flawed and unprepared characters who are not supposed to go there according to brad wright the show should hopefully explore the truly alien and avoid the rubber faced englishspeaking ones there like sg nowiki nowiki s goauld and atlantis nowiki nowiki wraith broadcast and release home video release impact awards and nominations the episode time won a writers guild of canada award for best onehour tv series and both

the first season episode human at the gemini awards critical reception metacritic summarizes the response as generally favorable reviews for sgu s first season but with several critics showing reservation stargate universe was well received by several major media publishers upon airing of the pilot episode mike hale from the new york times was generally positive towards the pilot episodes saying the stargate franchise was catching up with the longrunning star trek franchise hale also stargate the boston globe reviewer joanna weiss also reacted positively towards the pilot episodes saying it felt like early lost while the story arc followed the patterns of battlestar galactica mark wilson from aboutcom gave the episode fourandahalf stars out of saying universe accomplishes what stargate atlantis was not able to and said it was exceptionally well made compared to other shows the pittsburgh postgazette both praised the show calling it intriguing for not abandoning its premise as star trek voyager did and criticized it by pointing out that the characters spend far too much time wandering a desert planet in air part the pittsburgh postgazette summarized their review by saying that given time stargate universe may become worth watching if it develops its characters and continues to mine its premise for stories york daily news gave the episodes four out of five stars saying that eli s not the only one playing a highstakes game here among reviewers who were negative towards the new installments was maureen ryan from the chicago tribune the reviewer wrote that the gloomy underwhelming universe seems to have ditched many of the elements that the previous stargate shows had notably camaraderie and a sense of adventure without adding much in the way of narrative suspense or complexity the only characters she felt were worth following were eli wallace and nicholas rush vince horiuchi from the salt lake tribune while not overall positive to the series said the cast and characters were a little more likable and interesting than previous entries in the stargate franchise reviewer laura freis from variety concluded her review with sure sgu is grittier darker and psychologically deeper than previous versions but so far towards the show she called robert carlyle an excellent actor the hollywood reporter noted a lack of intelligent and surprising stories and was overall negative towards stargate universe and even more so on the previous stargate franchise releases the show has also been criticized for its similarities to the reimagined battlestar galactica in its second season sgu had declined in viewership ratings

 fashion in thcentury europe was characterized by a series of extremes and extravagances from the voluminous gowns called houppelandes with their sweeping floorlength sleeves to the revealing doublets and hose of renaissance italy hats hoods and other headdresses assumed increasing importance and were swagged draped jewelled and feathered as europe continued to grow more prosperous the urban middle classes skilled workers began to wear more complex clothes that followed at a distance the fashions set by the elites it is in this time period that we begin to see fashion take on a temporal aspect people could now be dated by their clothes and being in out of date clothing became a new social concern national variations in clothing seem on the whole to have increased over the th century general trends dominance of the burgundian court with england and france mired in the hundred years war and its aftermath and then the english wars of the roses through most of the th century glittering court of the duchy of burgundy especially under the fashionconscious powerbroker philip the good ruled having added holland and flanders to their dominion the dukes of burgundy had access to the latest fabrics of italy and the east and to english wool exports through the great trading cities of bruges and antwerp purchases of fabrics through italian merchants like the two cousins giovanni arnolfini amounted to a noticeable proportion of all government expenditure especially in florence where sumptuary laws prevented the citizens from wearing the most luxurious cloths on which the city s fortunes were built the materials of men s clothing in particular often appear plain in paintings but contemporaries who understood the difference in grades of cloth very well would have appreciated the beauty and great expense of a very fine grade fabrics and furs wool was the most popular fabric for all classes by far followed by linen and hemp wool fabrics were available in a wide range of qualities from rough undyed cloth to fine dense broadcloth of the english economy and was exported throughout europe wool fabrics were dyed in rich colours notably reds greens golds and blues although the actual blue colour achievable with dyeing with woad and less frequently indigo could not match the characteristic rich lapis lazuli pigment blues depicted in contemporary illuminated manuscripts such as the trs riches heures du duc de berry silkweaving was well established around the mediterranean by the beginning of the th century and figured silks often silk velvets with silvergilt wefts are increasingly seen in italian dress and in the dress of the wealthy throughout europe stately floral designs featuring a pomegranate or artichoke motif had reached europe from china in the th century and became a dominant design in the ottoman silkproducing cities of istanbul and bursa and spread to silk weavers in florence genoa venice valencia and seville in this period fur was worn mostly as a lining layer by those who could afford it the grey and white squirrel furs out of style except at court first for men and then for women the new fashionable furs were dark brown sable and marten toward the end of the th century wild animal furs such as lynx became popular ermine remained the prerogative and hallmark of royalty slashing slashing is a decorative technique that involved making small cuts on the outer fabric of a garment in order to reveal the inner garment or lining it was performed on all varieties of clothing both men s and women s this practice revealed brightly colored pieces of fabric from underneath an outer garment contemporary chroniclers identify the source of the fashion for slashing garments to the actions of swiss soldiers in the aftermath of the battle of grandson in supposedly the swiss plundered the rich fabrics of the burgundian nobles and used the scraps to patch their tattered clothes in reality images appear of sleeves with a single slashed opening as early as midth century although the german fashion for many small allover slits may have begun slashings spread to german landsknechts and thence to france italy and england where it was to remain a potent current in fashionable attire into the midth century a second result of the defeat at grandson was the decline of burgundy as a fount of culture and fashion the heiress mary of burgundy married maximilian i holy roman emperor but died young in the last decade of the th century charles viii of france invaded italy and was briefly declared king of naples as a result the french nobility were introduced to the fabrics and styles of italy which would combine with german influence to dominate fashion in france and later england in the first half of the th century women s fashion gown kirtle and chemise women s fashions of the th century consisted of a long gown usually with sleeves worn over a kirtle or undergown with a linen chemise or smock worn next to the skin the sleeves were made detachable and were heavily replaced by a highwaisted style with fullness over the belly often confined by a belt the wide shallow scooped neckline was replaced by a vneck often cut low enough to reveal the decorated front of the kirtle beneath various styles of overgowns were worn the cotehardie fitted smoothly from the shoulders to the hips and then flared by means of inserted triangular gores it featured sleeves tight to the elbow with hanging streamers or tippets the tight fit was achieved with lacing or buttons this style faded rapidly from fashion in favor of the houppelande a full robe with a high collar and wide sleeves that had become fashionable around and remained so to midth century the later houppelande had sleeves that were snug at the wrist making a full bag sleeve the bag sleeve was sometimes slashed in the front to allow the lower arm to reach through around the dress of northern europe developed a low vneck that showed a glimpse of the squarenecked sheer linen partlet wide turnbacks like revers displayed a contrasting lining frequently of fur or black velvet and the sleeves might be cuffed to match sleeves were very long covering half of the hand and often highly decorated with embroidery fine sleeves were often transferred from one dress to another the term robe dguise was coined in the mids to describe garments reflecting the very latest fashions a term which endured into the s in italy the low scoopneck of the early decades gave way to a neckline that was high in front with a lower vneck at the back at midth century this was followed by a vneckline that displayed the kirtle or gamurra sometimes spelled camorra sleeveless overgowns such as the cioppa were popular and the gamurra sleeves displayed were often of rich figured silks a lighterweight undergown for summer wear was the cotta a sideless overgown called the toward the end of the period sleeves were made in sections or panels and slashed allowing the full chemise sleeves below to be pulled through in puffs along the arm at the shoulder and at the elbow this was the beginning of the fashion for puffed and slashed sleeves that would last for two centuries the partlet a separate item to fill in a low neckline appeared in this period usually of sheer fabric linen or possibly silk with an open vneckline some partlets have a collar and a back similar to the upper part of a shirt burgundian partlets are usually depicted worn under the dress but over the kirtle in italy the partlet seems to have been worn over the gown and could be pointed or cut straight across at the lower front two uniquely spanish fashions appear from the s the verdugada or verdugado was a gown with a bellshaped hoop skirt with visible casings stiffened with depictions of this garment come from catalonia where it is worn with pieced or slashed sleeves and the second new style a chemise with trumpet sleeves open and very wide at the wrist the sideless surcoat of the th century became fossilized as a ceremonial costume for royalty usually with an ermine front panel called a plackard or placket and a mantle draped from the shoulders it can be seen in variety of royal portraits and as shorthand to identify queens in illuminated manuscripts of the period hairstyles and headdresses a variety of hats and headdresses were worn in europe in the th century the crespine of northern europe originally a thick hairnet or snood had evolved into a mesh of jeweler s work that confined the hair on the sides of the head by the end of the th century gradually the fullness at the sides of head was pulled up to the temples and became pointed like horns hair was pulled back from the forehead and the crespine now usually called a caul sat on the back of the head very fashionable women shaved their foreheads and eyebrows any of these styles could be topped by a padded roll sometimes arranged in a heartshape or a veil or both veils were supported by wire frames that exaggerated the shape and were variously draped from the back of the headdress or covered the forehead women also wore the chaperon a draped hat based on the hood and liripipe and a variety of related draped and wrapped turbans the most extravagant headdress of burgundian fashion is the hennin a cone or truncatedcone shaped cap with a wire frame covered in fabric and topped by a floating veil later hennins feature a turnedback brim or are worn over a hood with a turnedback brim towards the end of the th century women s headdresses became smaller more convenient and less picturesque the gable hood a stiff and elder ladies up until the mid s women of the merchant classes in northern europe wore modified versions of courtly hairtyles with coifs or caps veils and wimples of crisp linen often with visible creases from ironing and folding a brief fashion added rows of gathered frills to the coif or veil this style is sometimes known by the german name kruseler the general european convention of completely covering married women s hair was not accepted in warmer italy italian women wore their hair very long wound with ribbons or braided and twisted up into knots of various shapes with the ends hanging free the hair was then covered with sheer veils or small caps toward the s women wore chinlength sections of hair in loose waves or ripples over the ears a style that would inspire vintage hair fashions in the s and s and again in the s and s blond hair was considered desirable by botticelli for one and visitors to venice reported with their hair spread out around large circular disks worn like hats attempting to bleach it in the sun chemical methods were also used women s footwear women from the th century wore laced ankleboots which were often lined with fur later in the th century women also wore poulaines they used pattens to protect their tight shoes style gallery northern europe ss gallery imagechristine de pisan and her sonjpg

generally practiced by dentists who have completed a postgraduate course of professional education with exception of rural alaska dental therapists are not permitted to practice in the united states use of dental therapists dental health aids is strongly opposed by the american dental association the ada the dentists professional association this has resulted in excellent but highpriced treatment which however fails to delivers services at a reasonable price to the lower social classes with only a few exceptions neither governmentsponsored health care programs such as medicare nor medicaid cover routine dental treatment as a result large sections of the population do without the worst conditions are in kentucky and west virginia rates for dental services have been rising rapidly out pacing the rate of inflation after falling for many years the percentage of both adults and children with unfilled cavities began to rise in as did the percentage of adults with no teeth increasingly people with adequate income to pay the fees are forgoing treatment dental therapists outside the united states more than countries allow technicians called dental therapists to drill and fill cavities usually in children in the us most state boards of dentistry have blocked dental therapists from drill teeth because it is an irreversible surgical procedure and can lead to serious complications like infections or nerve damage the university of minnesota is the first university in the united states to start a dental therapy program dental education in the united states there are limited opportunities for dental education in the united states with only graduating in down from in there is little or no movement on the part of the american dental association the ada or the states to expand dental education due to the handson training required dental education is expensive and is not subsidized by the federal government the average dental student graduates with over in debt in the united states dentists earn either a dds doctor of dental surgery or dmd doctor of dental medicine degree there is no difference in the training for either degree the degrees are equivalent and recognized equally by all state boards of dentistry there are accredited dental schools in the united for one unique year program at the university of the pacific most applicants to dental school have attained at least a bs or ba degree however a small percentage are admitted after only fulfilling specific prerequisite courses so unlike many other countries other than us canada and australia it usually takes more than years to become a dentist list of dental schools in the united states the difference relates to the history involved in the division of medicine and surgery in medical practice licensure is organized on three levels in most areas many dentists must pass national boards regional boards and then take a jurisprudence exam accepted by their state to fulfill their requirements to get a state license not all states require or even accept regional boards although a state license is only valid in the issuing state because of the regional boards a dentist may be able to apply for licensure in any other state within the jurisdiction of their regional board there are many cooperative license so as to procure a license either via licensure by credentials or licensure by reciprocity although a national licensure exam has yet to be made the american dental association ada has worked with education and examining groups to form such an exam a dentist may go on for further training in a dental specialty which require an additional to years of postdoctoral training there are recognized dental specialties these include endodontics root canal treatment oral and maxillofacial pathology oral and maxillofacial radiology pediatric dentistry periodontics gums prosthodontics complicated dental reconstruction orthodontics moving teeth oral and maxillofacial surgery surgery of the mouth and face and dental public health there is no specialty in esthetic dentistry or implantology and no additional training is required for a dentist to make the claim of being an esthetic or cosmetic dentist dentists are forbidden to claim that they are specialists in areas of practice in which there is no recognized specialty they may and claim that their practice is limited to that area any general dentist may perform those procedures designated within the enumerated specialties if they deem themselves competent many general dentists train in certain aspects of the above specialties such as the placement and restoration of dental implants advanced prosthodontics and endodontics and have limited or heavily focused their practices to these areas when a general dentist performs any procedure that falls within the realm of a specialty they are expected to perform with the same level of expertise as a certified specialist and are legally held to such standards with

 familial atrial fibrillation is an autosomal dominant heart condition that causes disruptions in the heart s normal rhythm this condition is characterized by uncoordinated electrical activity in the heart s upper chambers the atria which causes the heartbeat to become fast and irregular diagnosis if untreated this abnormal heart rhythm can lead to dizziness chest pain a sensation of fluttering or pounding in the chest palpitations shortness of breath or fainting syncope atrial fibrillation also increases the risk of stroke complications of familial atrial fibrillation can occur at any age although some people with this heart condition never experience any health problems associated with the disorder atrial fibrillation is the most common type of sustained abnormal heart rhythm arrhythmia affecting more than million people in the united states the risk of developing this irregular heart rhythm increases with age the incidence of the familial form of atrial fibrillation is unknown however recent studies suggest that up to percent of the condition in their family cause it is associated with multiple genes mutations in the kcnq gene cause familial atrial fibrillation the kcne and kcnj genes are associated with familial atrial fibrillation a small percentage of all cases of familial atrial fibrillation are associated with changes in the kcne kcnj and kcnq genes these genes provide instructions for making proteins that act as channels across the cell membrane these channels transport positively charged potassium ions into and out of cells in heart muscle the ion channels produced from the kcne kcnj and kcnq genes play critical roles in maintaining the heart s normal rhythm mutations in these genes have been identified in only a few families worldwide these mutations increase the activity of the channels which changes the flow of potassium ions between cells this disruption in the risk of syncope stroke and sudden death most cases of atrial fibrillation are not caused by mutations in a single gene this condition is often related to structural abnormalities of the heart or underlying heart disease additional risk factors for atrial fibrillation include high blood pressure hypertension diabetes mellitus a previous stroke or an accumulation of fatty deposits and scarlike tissue in the lining of the arteries atherosclerosis although most cases of atrial fibrillation are not known to run in families studies suggest that they may arise partly from genetic risk factors researchers are working to determine which genetic changes may influence the risk of atrial fibrillation familial atrial fibrillation appears to be inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern which means the defective gene is located on an autosome and only one copy of the defective gene inherited from one parent is sufficient to cause the disorder

 birthplace siberia russia deathplace new york new york abraham walkowitz march january was an american painter grouped in with early american modernists working in the modernist style birth and education walkowitz was born in tyumen siberia to jewish parents he emigrated with his mother to the united states in his early childhood he studied at the national academy of design in new york city and the acadmie julian in paris under jeanpaul laurens walkowitz and his contemporaries later gravitated around photographer alfred stieglitz s gallery originally titled the little galleries of the photosecession where the forerunners of modern art in america gathered and where many european artists were first exhibited in the united states during the years walkowitz worked closely with stieglitz as well as arthur dove marsden hartley and john marin often referred to as the stieglitz quartet early career and training walkowitz was drawn to art from childhood in a oral was a kid about five years old i used to draw with chalk all over the floors and everything i suppose it s in me i remember myself as a little boy of three or four taking chalk and made drawings in early adulthood he worked as a sign painter and began making sketches of immigrants in new york s jewish ghetto where he lived with his mother he continued to pursue his formal training and with funds from a friend traveled to europe in to attend the acadmie julian through introductions made by max weber it was here that he met isadora duncan in auguste rodin s studio the modern american dancer who had captured the attention of the avantgarde walkowitz went on to produce more than drawings of duncan walkowitz approach to art during these years stemmed from european modernist ideas of abstraction which were slowly infiltrating the american art psyche at the turn of the century like so many artists of the time walkowitz was profoundly in paris at the salon dautomne artist alfred werner recalled that walkowitz found czanne s pictures to be simple and intensely human experiences working alongside other stieglitzsupported american modernists walkowitz refined his style as an artist and produced various abstract works although walkowitz drew influences from modern european masters he was cautious not to be imitative artist and critic oscar bluemner recognized this quality in walkowitzs work citing the differences between the highly influential writings of kandinsky and walkowitz style he wrote walkowitz is impelled by the inner necessity kandinsky however like the other radicals appears not to proceed gradually and inwardly but with a mind made up to commit an intellectual featwhich is not art walkowitz first exhibited at the in after being introduced to stieglitz through hartley and stayed with the gallery until during the years the climate for modern art in america was harsh until the pivotal armory show of had occurred which walkowitz was involved with and exhibited in modern artists and a lack of patronage isadora duncan drawings in isadora duncan echoed the lines of walt whitman in her essay i see america dancing writing when i read this poem of whitmans i hear america singing i too had a vision the vision of america dancing a dance that would be the worthy expression of the song walt heard when he heard america singing duncan was the quintessence of modernism shedding the rigid shackles of the balletic form and exploring movement through a combination of classical sculpture and her own inner sources she described this search i spent long days and nights in the studio seeking that dance which might be the divine expression of the human spirit through the bodys movement for duncan dance was a distinctly personal expression of beauty through movement and she maintained that the ability to produce such movement was inherently contained within the body abraham walkowitz was one of many artists captivated by this new form of movement loftiest goals composing thousands of these drawings would prove to be one of the most effective outlets for his artistic agenda due to the similarities between the artistic ideals and preferred aesthetic shared by walkowitz and duncan he was also able to draw from the same subject repeatedly and extract a different experience with each observation sculptors most readily recognized this trait in duncan there was a particular quality of her dance which appeared readily artistic yet not static dance critic walter terry described it in as although her dance inarguably sprang from her inner sources and resources of motor power and emotional drive the overt aspects of her dance were clearly colored by greek art and the sculptors concept of the body in arrested gesture promising further action these influences may be seen clearly in photographs of her and in the art works she inspired in each drawing a new observation is recorded from the same subject in the foreword to a demonstration of objective abstract and nonobjective art walkowitz seek subjectivity but try to find an equivalent for whatever is the effect of my relation to a thing or to a part of a thing or to an afterthought of it i am seeking to attune my art to what i feel to be the keynote of an experience the relaxed fluidity of his action drawings represent duncan as subject but ultimately reconceive the unbound movement of her dance and translates the ideas into line and shape ending with a completely new composition his interest in recording the keynote of experience rather than producing an objective representation of a subject is central to the composition of the duncan drawings the fluidity of the lines function simultaneously as recognizable shapes of the human body but also trace the pathways of the dancers movements duncan herself wrote in there are those who convert the body into a luminous fluidity surrendering it to the inspiration of the soul placed into a different context this passage could function as a description of walkowitzs art it is stone of dancing wherein she discusses techniques to most effectively express the purest form of movement walkowitzs dedication to duncan as a subject extended well past her untimely death in the works reveal shared convictions toward modernism and breaking links with the past in walkowitz told lerner she duncan had no laws she did not dance according to the rules she created her body was music it was a body electric like walt whitman his body electrics one of our greatest men america s greatest is walt whitman leaves of grass is to me the bible significance in art history while never attaining the same level of fame as his contemporaries walkowitz close relationship with the gallery and alfred stieglitz placed him at the center of the modernist movement his early abstract cityscapes and collection of over drawings of isadora duncan also remain significant art historical records notes references bibliography a girard kansas

 foregroundbackground is a scheduling algorithm that is used to control execution of multiple processes on a single processor it is based on two waiting lists the first one is called foreground because this is the one in which all processes initially enter and the second one is called background because all processes after using all of their execution time in foreground are moved to background when a process becomes ready it begins its execution in foreground immediately forcing the processor to give up execution of current process in the background and execute newly created process for a predefined period this period is usually or more quanta if the process is not finished after its execution in the foreground it is moved to background waiting list where it will be executed only when the foreground list is empty after being moved to background process is then run longer than before usually quanta the time of execution is increased because the process obviously needs more than quanta to finish this is the reason process the opportunity to finish within this newly designated time if the process does not finish after this it is then preempted and moved to the end of the background list the advantage of the foregroundbackground algorithm is that it gives process the opportunity to execute immediately after its creation but scheduling in the background list is pure roundrobin scheduling

 according to christian tradition saint amaro or amarus the pilgrim was an abbot and sailor who it was claimed sailed across the atlantic ocean to an earthly paradise there are two historical figures who may have provided the basis for this legend the first was a french penitent of the same name who went on a pilgrimage to santiago de compostela in the thirteenth century on his return journey he established himself at burgos where he founded a hospital for lepers saint amaro has also been identified with saint maurus disciple of saint benedict who founded the first benedictine monastery in france around the historical character of saint amaro converged many pagan traditions present in asturias and galicia related with celtic immrama and echtrai like the voyages of mael din the i chorra snegdus and mac riagla or bran mac febal many features of the celtic otherworld are present in the periplus of saint amaro the periplus of amaro like saint brendan echoes that of the irish immram the voyages to the paradisiacal islands of the west an edition of the life of saint amaro was published at burgos in his legend holds that amaro was a noble christian from asia who was obsessed with the idea of visiting the earthly paradise with this goal in mind he would inquire for more information from his guests amaro was not successful in receiving information from them and was quite desperate and anguished about this until one night god appeared to him and revealed how to reach his objective amaro would have to build a boat and follow the path of the sun across the atlantic ocean amaro took to the sea with some companions and sailed for six days and seven nights until he reached an island this was an extremely fertile land that was blessed with five cities inhabited by uncouth men though the women were quite beautiful amaro spent six months there until he heard a voice in his dreams telling him to until he reached the land of a beautiful fountain where the people were beautiful and lived peaceful lives that lasted three hundred years amaro remained there for three weeks until an old woman advised that he leave the island before he became accustomed to the good life three days later they arrived at another desert island which was inhabited by savage beasts hostile to man there they found a hermit who informed them that the beasts there annihilated themselves by fighting one another on the day of saint john the stench of the corpses persisted throughout the year the hermit provided them with supplies and recommended that they sail east where there was a beautiful land that would satisfy all of their needs they sailed the next day and arrived in the afternoon finding a monastery named valdeflores a monk from this monastery leonites greeted them and told amaro that he was waiting for him he was already informed of their arrival by means of a vision leonites provided amaro with instructions on how to reach companions arrived at a natural harbor where they remained for a month after which they traveled to an extensive and rugged valley where amaro will find what he was looking for the earthly paradise first however amaro stumbled upon a nunnery situated high upon a mountaintop called flor de dueas flower of ladies he remained there receiving further instructions on how to reach paradise from a holy woman named baralides he is presented with a white habit this is given to him by brgida bridget the niece of baralides who lives in paradise unfortunately leonites began to cry he s losing a dear friend but baralides appears and comforts leonites with a gift she presents him with a branch of one of the two magical trees of the earthly paradise amaro in paradise in paradise amaro found an enormous castle built from gems and precious metals with battlements of gold and towers of rubies walls made with multicolored bricks earthly paradise and thus no living being can enter it the saint begged the gatekeeper to allow him to look at paradise through the keyhole amaro was allowed to do this and saw many things including the tree of life from which adam ate a primeval and eternal garden enormous trees birds whose song was so beautiful one could remain entranced by it for a thousand years young musicians playing strange and unknown musical instruments beautiful ladies adorned with a crown of flowers and dressed in white the virgin mary who accompanied these young ladies saint amaro begged to be allowed in the gatekeeper refused and informed him that during the saint s viewing of paradise three hundred years have passed amaro returned to the coast to find his companions gone and a city named after him built there amaro told the citys inhabitants his story and they built him a house alongside the monastery of valdeflores where he lived for a number of years until he died he was buried alongside of hermitages dedicated to amaro in spain there is a hermitage dedicated to amaro in puerto de la cruz tenerife ermita de san amaro the town of san amaro in ourense province is named after him his cult was also diffused in portugal where he is called santo amaro in the districts of coimbra and viseu saint amaro

 por estas calles english on these streets is a telenovela broadcast by radio caracas televisin between and it was extremely popular in venezuela due to its very realistic approach to the daytoday life of the country and local tone it was the first venezuelan program to give a realistic view of the corruption in political life as well as the first to show the daytoday life in the poor barrios for example it showed the impact on poor people s lives of the intermittent water supply showing community meetings and lovers trysts cut short by the news that the water was on sending everyone running to fill storage tanks and barrels it was considered by the spanish language history in early venezuela was in a very unstable political situation at the same time rctv was in a lowrating stage the network decided to take the risk of making a story which took place in the por estas calles began as a traditional telenovela called eva marina during the preproduction stage however the concept changed from a traditional romance to a more actual streetrelated story the original chapters were wiped and the history now under its new name and concept began its filming the telenovela was initially written by ibsen martnez but he resigned six months later it is believed that rctv demanded him not only an extension something very usual when a telenovela is very successful but also a

been manipulated by blanca ibez on the show don chepe and his mistress lucha pocketed public money with one sleightofhand move after another doled out favors to campaign contributors developed all kinds of illegal schemes to hold on to power and ruthlessly eliminated political enemies characters the cast was one of the greatest and most memorable in the entire history of venezuelan telenovelas

 intimate partner violence is domestic violence against a spouse or other intimate partner the most extreme type of violence is intimate terrorism where one person is violent and controlling generally perpetrated by men against women and most likely of the types of violence to require medical services and shelter survivors of intimate terrorism may engage in violence resistance as the result of the violence it is likely to be infrequent and be conducted by women the most common form of intimate partner violence is situational couple violence which is conducted by individuals of both genders nearly equally when both partners of a couple engage in controlling and violent behavior it is called mutual violent control background intimate partner violence occurs between two people in an intimate relationship it may occur between heterosexual or homosexual couples and victims are men and women couples may be dating cohabiting or married and violence can occur in or outside of the home studies by the s showed that both men and women could be abusers or victims of in retaliation or selfdefense one time and with less violence than that by men men are more likely to commit longterm cycles of abuse as a result the issue is not solely about violence against women but about violent people or violent couples it also led to further research to better understand the situations within violent homes the world health organization reported in that the incidence of women who had experienced physical or sexual abuse from an intimate partner in their lifetime was reciprocal and nonreciprocal the united states centers for disease control divide domestic violence into two types reciprocal in which both partners are violent and nonreciprocal violence in which one partner is violent types michael p johnson argues for four major types of intimate partner violence which is supported by subsequent research and evaluation as well as independent researchers distinctions are made among the types of violence motives of perpetrators and the social and cultural context based upon patterns across numerous incidents and motives of the intimate terrorism intimate terrorism it occurs when one partner in a relationship uses coercive control and power over the other partner using threats intimidation and isolation in such cases one partner usually a man controls virtually every aspect of the victim s usually a woman s life michael p johnson reported in that of the perpetrators of intimate terrorism were men it may involve sexual sadistic control economic physcial emotional and psychological abuse intimate terrorism is more likely to escalate over time not as likely to be mutual and more likely to involve serious injury because this type of violence is most likely to be extreme it is survivors of intimate terrorism that are most likely to require medical services and the safety of shelters abusers are more likely to have witnessed abuse as children than those who engage in situational couple violence it batterers include two types toolong and dysphoricborderline the first type includes people with general psychopathic and violent tendencies on the relationship violence by a person against their intimate partner is often done as a way for controlling their partner even if this kind of violence is not the most frequent support for this typology has been found in subsequent evaluations violent resistance violent resistance vr sometimes thought of as selfdefense is violence perpetrated by victims against their partners who have exerted intimate terrorism against them within relationships of intimate terrorism and violent resistance of the violent resisters are women situational couple violence situational couple violence scv also called common couple violence ccv is not connected to general control behavior but arises in a single argument where one or both partners physically lash out at the other this is the most common form of intimate partner violence particularly in the western world and among young couples and involves members of both sexes nearly equally among college students johnson found it to be perpetrated about of the time by women and of in which conflict occasionally gets out of hand leading usually to minor forms of violence and rarely escalates into serious or lifethreatening forms of violence in situational couple violence acts of violence by men and women occur at fairly equal rates with rare occurrences of injury and are not committed in an attempt to control a partner it is estimated that approximately of couples experience scv in their relationships characteristics situational couple violence is characterized by a few main traits mode mildly aggressive behavior such as throwing objects ranging to more aggressive behaviors such as pushing slapping biting hitting scratching or hair pulling frequencyless frequent than pt occurring once in a while during an argument or disagreement severity milder than pt very rarely escalates to more severe abuse generally does not include injuries that were serious or that caused one partner to be admitted to a hospital mutualityviolence may be equally expressed by either partner in the relationship intentoccurs of gaining control and power over the other partner further research in grahamkevan amp archer were able to partly replicate johnson s hypothesis however they identified three subtypes of domestic violence rather than johnson s two ccv what they termed intimate terrorism it noting that women and men can both use violence to control nonviolent mates and mutual violent control where both partners use itlevels of violence however grahamkevan amp archer also stressed that their and johnson s research sampling methods should be regarded as preliminary their subjects were relatively few in number and were drawn from known crime victims or battered women and thus may not be representative of randomized general population samples moreover grahamkevan amp archer argued that by relying entirely on analysis of data from one partner in an abusive relationship johnson s study was incomplete and skewed due to reporting bias in milardo reported that women are more likely to initiate ccv in common dating scenarios of female subjects were at compared to of men furthermore men reported higher rates of fearing they would suffer ccv of men vs of women when questioned about the use of more serious violence analogous to patriarchal or intimate terrorism milardo found that women were again more likely to approve of its use against a partner however women had higher rates of fearing they would be seriously battered mutual violent control mutual violent control mvc is rare type of intimate partner violence occurring when both partners act in a violent manner battling for control sexual violence sexual violence by intimate partners varies by country and can reach as high as of the women having been subject to forced sex in some countries forced sex or marital rape often occurs with other forms of domestic violence particularly physical abuse notes

 leandro bisiach ampndash december was an italian violin maker who was born in casale monferrato and died in at venegono superiore near varese biography trained as a violinist he made his first violin on his own and received praise for it thus he decided to become a violin maker and moved to milan to work with the antoniazzi family in with them he established a partnership of exceptional importance putting to good use his artistic skills and business ability after having moved his workshop to various premises he retired to his villa in venegono leaving his sons andrea and carlo bisiach to continue the business in milan bisiach was an outstanding figure in the commerce of antique violins but above all had the merit of raising a generation of great luthiers among whom for example gaetano sgarabotto igino sderci pietro borghi ornati and garimberti come to mind his workshop can be considered as the most important in italy in that period besides leandro bisiach riccardo antoniazzi romeo antoniazzi gaetano sgarabotto giuseppe ornati ferdinando garimberti igino sderci rocchi sesto cipriano briani camillo mandelli ferriccio varagnolo camillo colombo vincenzo cavani pietro paravicini albert moglie andrea bisiach carlo bisiach pietro borghi mirco tarasconi leandro jr amp giacomo bisiach iginio siega and carlo ferrario as is known after the death of the last great cremonese masters after the middle of the th century only the cerutis remained in cremona to prevent that memorable tradition from dying out completely it was the antoniazzis who undertook the task of transferring the scant knowledge saved from oblivion from cremona to milan however the most important event for the renaissance of violinmaking in lombardy was certainly the meeting between riccardo antoniazzi and leandro bisiach the latter thanks to his talent his taste and his business ability succeeded in founding at the end of the th century a workshop which soon gained international fame leandro bisiach did a great deal of research instruments from his best period is very beautiful of transparent and flexible quality he primarily used a light redorange color although it varied greatly from one instrument to another he had a special talent for creating antiqued varnishes for the numerous copies he made to give it the old look he very often shaded off the varnish only at the base of the back plate he used a large number of diverse models but principally those of stradivari amatise and other models of guarneri balestrieri guadagnini gagliano enrico and giovanni battista ceruti or other violin makers from veneto in the th century he also utilized many others as chance would have it he received various awards and recognition at the world exhibition of london atlanta turin paris milan and brussels the shaping of the back in bisiach s instruments can be identified by the accentuated hollowing out that emphasizes the border which is rounded the inlay has a large central white strip and two very an echo of the stradivarian style the f holes are cleanly and precisely cut while the columns of the ribs are clearly inspired by the classic cremonese school bisiach s varnishes usually a beautiful redbrown have brilliant yellowgold reflections pardo fornaciari arte liuteria musicians who owned leandro s instruments include sebastian campesi legendary american jazz violinist and nathan milstein a copy of stradivari made by leandro bisiach in quotes the baron andrea paganini grandson of the famous niccolo wrote a letter of thanks to bisiach in for the repair in admirable style of his stradivarius other clients included sarasate joachim and violincellist alfredo piatti who trusted his violoncello a stradivarius from which bisiach made a reproduction to noone else this patriarch of violin making must have had a rather striking personality if his own maestro riccardo antoniazzi to say nothing of antoniazzi s father gaetano and brother romeo joined the company that bisiach had created in his own name native town of casale monferrato in and immediately transferred himself to milan where as student of riccardo antoniazzi thanks to antoniazzi s maestro enrico ceruti and of his teacher claudio storioni he could claim more than just an imaginary affiliation with the great cremonese school in fact storioni had been a student of carlo bergonzi the only true custodian of the secrets of stradivarius we must say that leandro bisiach honoured his significant inheritance which in actuality was not only symbolic by one of those tricks of fortune that make one suspect the hand of destiny leandro senior had come into possession of tools and models that had belonged to the various old cremonese masters this seems strange enough in itself a curious coincidence in reality he had much greater luck among the documents and papers obtained by fanny rossi the widow of giacomo stradivari bisiach found the most precious and extraordinary item imaginable that is the formula for the varnish of the was not the only varnish of the eighteenth century that bisiach could use he had at hand another formula used first by giovan battista ceruti and later by two other generations of the same family in addition in he gained possession of a collection of documents attributed to stradivarius among which he found another formula that dated back to the great cremonese pardo fornaciari arte liuteria leandro bisiach did a great deal of research and found some old recipes the varnish on the instruments from his best period is very beautiful of transparent and flexible quality he primarily used a light redorange color although it varied greatly from one instrument to another he had a special talent for creating antiqued varnishes for the numerous copies he made to give it the old look he very often shaded off the varnish only at the base of the back plate he used a large number of diverse models but principally those of stradivari amatise and other models of guarneri balestrieri guadagnini gagliano in the th century he also utilized many others as chance would have it leandro was one of the most influential violin makers and dealers of the late th and early th centuries he won important recognition and prizes in international exhibitions in london atlanta turin paris milan and brussels and in opened and successfully ran a workshop that can be compared to the great workshops of jb vuillaume and we hill and sons one can easily say that leandro was as influential in th century as jb vuillaume was in the th century auction recordleandro

zaerapolo had an unusually early involvement as a theorist writing for el croquis from as early as where he identified and theorised the work theoretical work inaugurates a materialist critique of architecture departing from deconstruction and critical theory the predominant theoretical discourses in the s it is also deeply influenced by the readings of deleuze and guattari and complexity theory connecting him to the discourse practiced in america by authors such as jeffrey kipnis sanford kwinter and greg lynn and by the reading of neomarxist authors such as manuel castells david harvey and henri lefebvre which left a strong political bias to his approach to architectural theory after these early adventures he succeeded in transferring his early theoretical interests into a viable architectural practice as a founding partner of foreign office architects foa the experience of architectural practice shifted his critique towards a more pragmatic perspective and addressed to the discussion of the practice of architecture and the analysis of the conditions of production that affect it the impact of globalisation information technologies and organisational structures the discussion of iconography and representation in the cultural and political role of architecture and a political critique of the contemporary building theoretical work addresses with a characteristic sniperlike style zaera polos recent theoretical work has been published through articles in different media constantly changing position and location to address contemporary subjects in a poignant and polemical manner his own scientific autobiography charts as a transcontinental psychogeographical drift a gravitation through some of the most stimulating architectural milieus over the last quarter of a century recounting a varied and vivid sequence of cultural exposures zaera polo applies knowledge and experimentalism as he evolves his personal reading of architectural theory and practice not as dialectically opposed entities but as a complex continuum beyond the theoretical work in el croquis his texts have been published in many professional publications such as quaderns au arch log

 the general certificate of education advanced level generally termed the gce advanced level or more commonly the a level is a school leaving qualification offered by educational bodies in the united kingdom and the british crown dependencies to students completing secondary or preuniversity education a number of countries including singapore and mauritius have developed qualifications with the same name as and a similar format to the british a levels the qualification is generally studied for over two years and split into two parts with one part studied in each year the first part is known as the advanced subsidiary level or as level and was previously known as the advanced supplementary level with the same abbreviation the second part is known as the a level the as level is a qualification in its own right and the as level combined with the a level forms the complete a level qualification current usage a number of countries use the a levels as a school leaving qualification due to respective changes in the content and style from the a levels taken in the united kingdom united kingdom a levels are the secondary school leaving qualification offered in england wales and northern ireland in scotland a levels are also offered by select schools as an alternative schoolleaving qualification in place of the scottish advanced higher the five main examination

generally offer the british a levels as offered through edexcel or cambridge international examinations at select examination centers the british pakistan pakistan also offers alevel it is basically a two years study in academics and is equivalent of college year in the matriculation system however like olevels it s fees are very costly and therefore preferd by middle upper and upper classes it is

the gce advanced level qualification is offered by the zimbabwe school examinations council zimsec with the first localised advanced level examinations being written in and full localisation of this particular qualification being completed in the following year before this qualification was jointly offered by cambridge international examinations and the council more challenging than the uk version former usage caribbean recently within the caribbean there has been a move away from the gce advanced level to the cxc cape examinations making them a de facto university entrance examination however some universities also require applicants to take separate entrance examinations and the international baccalaureate and european baccalaureate are also accepted hong kong in hong kong the british a level was once accused of grade inflation many years ago and thus over time both the gce a level gceal and hkal have become more strictly graded as shown by naric research compared to the usual rate of achieving an agrade in the uk asa there could be statistically fewer than candidates scoring an a in a single examination in the hong kong advanced supplementary level examination and less than rate of achieving an agrade every year in an a level subject however this comparison is seen by many as being meaningless and misleading because in the first place grade a second best grade in the gce a level to the top grade in hkal is not very useful and objective moreover it is important to note that because of the significantly different measurement methodologies these examinations are not directly comparable in terms of the skills and knowledge demonstrated at each grade and that distinction rates alone can not serve as a fair indicator of one s absolute academic performance in that naric research only the cumulative percentages were taken into account to reach the huge generalisations on the very unsafe assumption that two scales are exactly identical and standardised the wide recognition for both qualifications in many local universities and companies all attests to this for example many prestigious overseas universities regard the hk qualifications hkcee and hkale as being equivalent to the uk ones igcse and gceal on a gradebygrade basis

 an application delivery network adn is a suite of technologies that when deployed together provide application availability security visibility and acceleration gartner defines application delivery networking as the combination of wan optimization controllers wocs and application delivery controllers adcs at the data center end of an adn is the application delivery controller adc an advanced traffic management device that is often also referred to as a web switch content switch or multilayer switch the purpose of which is to distribute traffic among a number of servers or geographically dislocated sites based on application specific criteria in the branch office portion of an adn is the wan optimization controller which uses objectless caching techniques the adc one component of an adn evolved from layer switches in the late s when it became apparent that traditional load balancing techniques were not robust enough to handle the increasingly complex mix of application traffic being delivered over a wider variety of network connectivity options application delivery principle this principle keeps the core network relatively simple and moves the intelligence as much as possible to the network endpoints the hosts and clients an application delivery network adn enhances the delivery of applications across the internet by employing a number of optimization techniques many of these techniques are based on established bestpractices employed to efficiently route traffic at the network layer including redundancy and load balancing in theory an application delivery network adn is closely related to a content delivery network the difference between the two delivery networks lies in the intelligence of the adn to understand and optimize applications usually referred to as application fluency application fluent network afn is based upon the concept of application fluency to refer to wan optimization techniques applied at layer four to layer seven of the osi model for networks application fluency implies that the network is fluent or intelligent in understanding and being able to optimize delivery of each application application fluent network is an addition of sdn capabilities the acronym afn fluent network application delivery uses one or more layer switches also known as a web switch content switch or multilayer switch to intelligently distribute traffic to a pool also known as a cluster or farm of servers the application delivery controller adc is assigned a single virtual ip address vip that represents the pool of servers traffic arriving at the adc is then directed to one of the servers in the pool cluster farm based on a number of factors including application specific data values application transport protocol availability of servers current performance metrics and clientspecific parameters an adn provides the advantages of load distribution increase in capacity of servers improved scalability security and increased reliability through application specific health checks increasingly the adn comprises a redundant pair of adc on which is integrated a number of different feature sets designed to provide security availability reliability and acceleration functions in some cases these devices are still separate entities deployed together delivered each providing specific functionality that enhances the delivery of the application adn optimization techniques tcp multiplexing tcp multiplexing is loosely based on established connection pooling techniques utilized by application server platforms to optimize the execution of database queries from within applications an adc establishes a number of connections to the servers in its pool and keeps the connections open when a request is received by the adc from the client the request is evaluated and then directed to a server over an existing connection this has the effect of reducing the overhead imposed by establishing and tearing down the tcp connection with the server improving the responsiveness of the application some adn implementations take this technique one step further and also multiplex http and application requests this has the benefit of executing requests in parallel which enhances the performance of the application tcp optimization there are a number of rfcs which describe mechanisms for improving the performance of tcp many adn implement these rfcs in order to provide enhanced delivery of applications commonly implemented are delayed acknowledgements nagle algorithm selective acknowledgements explicit congestion notification ecn limited and fast retransmits adaptive initial congestion windows data compression and caching adns also provide optimization of application data through caching and compression techniques there are two types of compression used by adns today industry standard http compression and proprietary data reduction algorithms it is important to note that the cost in cpu cycles to compress data when traversing a lan can result in a negative performance impact and therefore best practices are to only utilize compression when delivering applications via a wan or particularly congested highspeed data link http compression is asymmetric and transparent to the client support for http compression is built into web servers and web browsers all commercial adn products currently support http compression a second compression technique is achieved through data reduction algorithms because these algorithms are proprietary and modify the application traffic they are symmetric and require a device to reassemble the application traffic before the client can receive it a separate class provide this functionality but the technology has been slowly added to the adn portfolio over the past few years as this class of device continues to become more application aware providing additional features for specific applications such as cifs and smb adn reliability and availability techniques advanced health checking advanced health checking is the ability of an adn to determine not only the state of the server on which an application is hosted but the status of the application it is delivering advanced health checking techniques allow the adc to intelligently determine whether or not the content being returned by the server is correct and should be delivered to the client this feature enables other reliability features in the adn such as resending a request to a different server if the content returned by the original server is found to be erroneous load balancing algorithms the load balancing algorithms found in today s adn are far more advanced than the simplistic roundrobin and least connections algorithms used in the early s these algorithms were originally loosely based evolved to factor in conditions peculiar to networking and application environments it is more accurate to describe today s load balancing algorithms as application routing algorithms as most adn employ application awareness to determine whether an application is available to respond to a request this includes the ability of the adn to determine not only whether the application is available but whether or not the application can respond to the request within specified parameters often referred to as an service level agreement typical industry standard load balancing algorithms available today include round robin least connections fastest response time weighted round robin weighted least connections custom values assigned to individual servers in a pool based on snmp or other communication mechanism fault tolerance the adn provides fault tolerance at the server level within pools or farms this is accomplished by designating specific servers as a backup that is activated automatically by the adn in the event that the primary servers in the pool fail the adn also ensures application availability and reliability in the event of a hardware or software failure this ensures that traffic continues to flow in the event of a failure in one device thereby providing fault tolerance for the applications fault tolerance is implemented in adns through either a network or serial based connection network based failover the virtual ip address vip is shared between two devices a heartbeat daemon on the secondary device verifies that the primary device is active in the event that the heartbeat is lost the secondary device assumes the shared vip and begins servicing requests this process is not immediate and though most adn replicate sessions from the primary to the secondary there is no way to guarantee that sessions initiated during the time it takes for the secondary to assume the vip and begin managing traffic will be maintained serial based failover in a serial connection based failover configuration two adn devices communicate via a standard rs connection instead of the network and all sharing of session information and status is exchanged over this connection the same constraints regarding sessions initiated while the primary device is failing as network based failover adn security transport layer security although often erroneously assigned to the application layer transport layer security application layer security resource cloaking the use of a virtual ip address vip and position of the adn in the network provides the means through which certain resources can be cloaked or hidden from the client because the adn is designed to understand applications and application protocols such as http it can manipulate certain aspects of the protocol to cloak the servers in the pool and prevent potentially useful information regarding the software and hardware infrastructure from being exposed a typical use of this functionality is to hide the operating system and server software used to host the application this is usually accomplished by rewriting the server field in an http response a second typical use of this functionality is the exploitation of the adn s ability to rewrite the uri portion of an http request the client is to the adn and upon receiving the request the adn may either a rewrite the uri and send a redirect or b transparently translates the uri and responds to the client as if the uri were the right one in the first place application firewall in recent years commercial adns have begun to include application firewall functionality to further secure applications during the delivery process this is a hotly debated subject with many security professionals arguing that the functionality included in an application firewall are unnecessary and should be handled by the application while others consider employing as much security as possible regardless of position in the delivery network to be the best practice many commercial adn companies have acquired and integrated these functions and present such features as part of a defense in depth strategy often cited by security professionals network layer security the adn is most often deployed in the dmz at the edge of the network this results in exposure to potential network layer attacks including denial of service dos the adn must necessarily protect not only itself but the applications it is delivering from succumbing to such attacks the adn generally employs a number of protections against typical network layer attacks though it does not implement the full security offered by an ips some of the network layer security technologies that may be employed by adn devices include delayed binding delayed binding also called tcp splicing is the postponement of the connection between the client and the server in order to obtain sufficient information to make a routing decision some application switches and routers delay binding the client session to the server until the proper handshakes are complete so as to prevent denial of service attacks ip filtering adns often have the ability to filter traffic based on access control lists acls bogus ip ranges bogon filtering and deep packet inspection pattern matching in some cases thresholds or rate limiting of ip addresses or ranges of ip addresses may be employed traffic management adns are increasingly adding advanced some of these products can identify traffic by application type and can be used to analyze block shape and prioritize traffic

 birthplace guildford england mark alexander hudson born march is an english professional footballer who is the current club captain of cardiff city he plays as a centre half career as a child hudson played for farncombe boys football club he began his professional career with fulham but never managed to establish himself in the first team prior joining oldham athletic hudson was linked with grimsby town on loan following the trial however the move never happened following his debut against chesterfield in the league cup hudson signed a oneyear deal with the club he spent two months on loan at oldham athletic while iain dowie was manager there as a result of having his first team opportunities hudson loan spell with oldham athletic would be extended for another month twice after dowie moved to crystal palace hudson moved back to fulham where he began to get small amounts of first team football in total he made three appearances for fulham all in the season he went on a threemonth long loan to crystal palace this would be extended to two months reunited with dowie hudson would help the club to secure a playoff victory and promotion to the premiership at the millennium stadium before being signed by dowie for the start of the season despite scoring on his full home debut hudson never managed to establish himself in the first team in his first two seasons with dowie preferring fitz hall and gonzalo sorondo followed by a partnership of hall and darren ward dowie left in the summer of and was replaced by peter taylor under taylor hudson became a first team regular making appearances in largely alongside leon cort in under neil warnock he played largely alongside jos fonte and missed only one game all season he was also appointed captain midway through that season as the eagles made the playoffs charlton athletic at the end of the season he was out of contract and chose fellow championship side charlton athletic signing a threeyear contract hudson s experience as captain at palace earned him the same role at his new club and he went on to make appearances in all competitions for the club as they suffered relegation to league one finishing bottom of the division cardiff city in july hudson signed for championship side cardiff city for a fee of m with an extra possible if the bluebirds reach the premier league an ongoing contract dispute with midfielder joe ledley led manager dave jones to hand the captaincy to hudson at the start of the season cardiff becoming the third successive club at which hudson had been appointed captain hudson scored an own goal in a draw against his former club crystal palace on october before scoring his first goal for the club three weeks later during a defeat to swansea city he made his twohundredth league appearance on boxing day against plymouth argyle and added his second goal of the season on january against when he was ruled out for up to two months after being forced to undergo surgery on a split ankle tendon at the end of january however he did return in time for the playoffs where cardiff lost to blackpool in the final at the start of the season hudson lost his captaincy to craig bellamy but retained his place in the team on march hudson suffered a knee injury in a draw with millwall and three days later it was confirmed hudson would be out for up to six weeks despite reports claiminh hudson would be out for the season he returned in cardiff s victory over preston north end on april he missed on the following game against middlesbrough which cardiff lost but was chosen to start in the final game of the season against burnley he was taken off with another injury after minutes again reports of hudson s season being in doubt were proven wrong as he was cleared for the first leg of cardiff s against reading at the madjeski stadium went down to a defeat in the return leg ending their season under new manager malky mackay hudson regained the captaincy for the season and led the team to a shock win over west ham united on the opening his first goal of the season came in the severnside derby on august against bristol city hudson made his th league appearance on august against portsmouth his second goal of the season came in a win at reading on november a small hamstring injury meant he missed two games including a win over premier league blackburn but he returned on december coming on for anthony gerrard against birmingham city his th appearance for cardiff came on january against reading whilst also making his threehundredth club appearance on january hudson signed a twoyear contract extension keeping him in the welsh capital until his third league goal came against portsmouth on january he suffered back in time to captain the side in its first ever league cup final against liverpool in which the bluebirds were beaten on penalties following a performance lauded by many as city held their own against an established premier league club he scored his fourth of the season against birmingham city then a month later he scored his fifth from yards out against derby county a goal which was later voted the club s goal of the season hudson got the football league s first goal of the season scoring a late winner against huddersfield town on august his second goal came as the winner in a win over birmingham city which meant that cardiff made a historic fifth successive home win and went top of the table hudson then scored his tenth goal in a cardiff shirt on november against hull city followed by a fourth a month later against blackburn rovers hudson made his threehundredth career league start at blackpool in a victory on january he later had to the rest of the season hudson lifted the championship trophy following the home draw with bolton wanderers at cardiff city stadium in may during the summer hudson extended his deal by a further year until the summer of career statistics honours clubs crystal palace first

 label sony bmg residente o visitante is the second studio album by puerto rican urbanhip hop band calle released on april by sony bmg recorded in various countries while on tour in promotion of the duo s debut album calle residente o visitante marked an evolution in the band s musical and lyrical style while writing the album the duo took a trip to south america to explore areas populated by latin america s indigenous and africandescended minorities a journey that greatly influenced the music on residente o visitante the album features six guest artists and delves into genres such as tango bossa nova cumbia and electronica residente o visitante debuted at number one on the us billboard top latin albums chart selling copies in its first week the record was also certified gold in argentina by the argentine chamber of single released from the album tango del pecado reached number on the billboard latin rhythm airplay chart the record received positive reviews from critics who praised the album s experimental nature and unique lyrical themes the album also won best urban music album and best urban song for pal norte at the th annual latin grammy awards a film entitled sin mapa documenting the group s travel experiences while recording the album was released on july background calle was formed when stepbrothers residente real name ren prez joglar and visitante real name eduardo jos cabra martnez began creating music together in the stepbrothers hosted their music on a website and began searching for a record label in order to release their music commercially after sending demo tapes to white lion records the duo was offered a record deal the duo gained recognition for their controversial song querido fbi which responded to the killing of filiberto ojeda ros soon after querido fbi gained notoriety for calle the band s eponymously titled debut album was released and became commercially and critically successful in latin america the group was subsequently labeled as reggaeton a genre that the duo wished to distance itself from visitante commented on the situation the truth is that the first record had only four reggaetons those were the cuts used for promotional purposes and so thats the brand that was put on us but from the beginning to me reggaeton never offered anything musically my brother liked it yes but we always tried to execute it in an organic way with real instruments and mixing it with other genres recording while writing residente o visitante the duo took a trip to south america to explore areas populated by latin america s indigenous and africandescended minorities residente reflected on the journey stating we saw horrible things but also things that were incredibly beautiful some of the contrasts are really intense visitante discovered and purchased several new musical instruments on the trip including a quijada a charango and a bombo legero all of which were used on the song llegale a mi guarida residente and visitante felt that writing on the road was conducive to the group s creative output the group s journeys were documented in a film entitled sin mapa which debuted on july at the new york international latino film festival and later was released on dvd residente o visitante was recorded in various countries as the band was on tour during the making of the album residente explained that the group did not feel any pressure to compete with the success of calle and felt that the recording of residente o visitante was a smoother process than the first the main difference for us this time around was that we had more opportunities more tools and more money we were also on tour at the same writing during the travels while my brother would write the music residente was invited by la mala rodriguez to come to spain to collaborate on a song he agreed as he greatly admired la mala s work and the two met for drinks where they discussed the kind of song they wanted to create before going to the studio to record what would later become mala suerta con el composition music on the record the band wished to experiment more with live instruments and diverse styles of music margarita diaz of ny daily news referred to residente o visitante as an exhilarating travelogue through the sounds and rhythms of south america visitante who composed the music on the album credits the musical diversity to his past he began playing classical piano at age six and at age he joined a varied array of bands and played saxophone and keyboards residente o visitante features more guest artists than the tego caldern la mala rodrguez and orishas the introduction to the album as described by elijah wald of the los angeles times sounds like a lovely baroque chorale unless one speaks spanish in which case it becomes immediately evident that it s an ornate canon of the filthiest words in puerto rican street slang tango del pecado mixes tango and reggaeton and has been referred to as tangotn the song features argentinian music producer gustavo santaolalla and his bajofondo tango club puerto rican rapper tego caldern is featured on sin exagerar which contains guitar influenced by surf rock additionally the song cumbia de los aburridos is strongly influenced by colombian cumbia music featuring an accordion and a horn section un beso de desayuno mixes electronica rap and bossa nova lyrics residente described the album as more introspective and autobiographical than its predecessor with the lyrics on the record residente aimed for authenticity attempting to tackle subjects not typically discussed in conventional reggaeton he explained is similar to watching a movie in the sense that the album depicts real life events and uses profanity to evoke emotion in the listener leila cobo of billboard wrote that the lyrical content of residente o visitante ranges from sophomoric humor to outright perversion the song mala suerte con el the group s collaboration with la mala rodriguez is a satire of the latin macho attitude he wished to defy and poke fun at traditional gender roles citing feminist philosopher judith butler as an influence i wanted to record a duet between a guy who s weak and inadequate and a woman who s a sexual psychopath and has all the power in the world a complete mockery of macho stereotypes in the same vein sin exagerar parodies the misogyny that residente felt had saturated the reggaeton scene the album s lead single tango del pecado is addressed to the parents of residente s thengirlfriend former miss universe denise quiones who did not approve song expresses how he will still date her regardless of their opinions and author ed morales observes that it s a calling out of the morality of latin america it s just an invitation to turn everything upsidedown by embracing the ugly and profane in life and you know asking people to go on that journey tango del pecado also created controversy due to the repeated chanting of sbele el volumen a la msica satnica turn up the satanic music residente asserts that he did not add the line to create a reaction saying i never do something expecting something i do things because i like them el avin se cae depicts the thoughts of a drunken airplane passenger in pal norte residente discusses the plight of immigrants in the united states commenting on the track s lyrical themes he explained i had wanted to do that theme because i think it is an important topic and not just for the immigrants in the united states but all over it is a song puerto ricans all the people leave one country for another for the same reasons although much of the album addresses immigration and moving to different countries la crema is a celebration of living in puerto rico title and artwork the album s name was inspired by an experience from residente and visitante s childhood when they were children visitante would visit his brother at the calle th street of the el conquistador subsection of trujillo alto puerto rico every week since the subsection is a gated community visitors were routinely asked residente o visitante resident or visitor by a security guard when approaching the community s main gate therefore visitante would identify himself as a visitor while residente would have to insist that he was a resident to clear the gate the pair named themselves calle after the street their family s house was on the title is also meant to refer to the status of immigrants in the united states a recurring theme on the a canteen on her chest resembling the sacred heart of jesus residente noted that the image represents hispanic immigrants coming to the united states in an attempt to both sanctify the immigrants and humanize the holy images common in latin america an image inside the cd booklet features residente with stigmata in his hands he noted that the photo is intended to portray jesus as a regular guy who deals with struggles similar to those of people crossing borders he further commented obviously the art of the cd is not made for people who are used to seeing the guy with the chick in a bikini in a car with all her jewelry we do nt come here to befuddle the people more release and reception chart performance residente o visitante debuted on the us billboard charts tango del pecado the first single released from the album reached number on the billboard latin rhythm airplay chart the second single cumbia de los aburridos hot latin songs chart pal norte the third single from the record reached number on the billboard hot latin songs chart and number on the regional mexican songs chart the fourth and final single was un beso de desayuno which failed to chart critical reception the album received positive reviews from critics jason birchmeier of allmusic gave residente o visitante out of stars noting the disc s diverse musical styles and unique lyricism residente is a gifted rapper who matches eminem in terms of wit and playfulness while visitante is a similarly gifted producer who creates multilayered tracks that rarely sound alike andrew casillas of stylus magazine gave the album an a grade calling it a trailblazing record casillas praised residente s rapping on the record calling his performance a revelation and referring to the song un beso de desayuno as the band s most noble achievement a fully formed reggaetn love song however casillas felt that the album donald duck on a treadmill olivia muoz of the philadelphia inquirer referred to the record as weird seductive thoughtprovoking and hilarious all at once and despite noting the unconventional lyrical themes she deemed many of the songs to be surprisingly danceable phil freeman of the village voice called the album more thoughtful and musically broadminded than its predecessor and noted that the album gave residente a platform for a more explicit political consciousness than some might have predicted referring to the songs pal norte and la cumbia de los aburridos agustin gurza of the los angeles times opined that the album is more mature though no less outrageous than the band s debut and referred to tango del pecado and pal norte as two of the most memorable songs of the year nuria net of vibe felt that the cutting edge appeal of the debut album was reduced to vulgar lyrics on residente o visitante writing reggaeton to cumbia to tango calle s powerful social critiques are but a memory awards at the th annual latin grammy awards on november residente o visitante received two latin grammy awards best urban music album and best urban song for pal norte it was also nominated for album of the year and best short form music video for the video of the first single tango del pecado calle performed at the ceremony in a wellreceived act featuring orishas and the stomp dance troupe the performance was referred to by agustin gurza of the los angeles times as both a celebratory and seditious moment in late the latin music website club fonograma

 birthplace rennes brittany br kingdom of france pierre jean robiquet january april was a french chemist he laid founding work in identifying amino acids the fundamental bricks of proteins he did this through recognizing the first of them asparagin in in the industry s adoption of industrial dyes with the identification of alizarin in and in the emergence of modern medications through the identification of codeine in a powerful molecule today of widespread use with analgesic and antidiarrheal properties robiquet was born in rennes he was at first a pharmacist in the french armies during the french revolution years and became a professor at the cole de pharmacie in paris where he died for biography details refer to the french wikipedia article notable scientific achievements were among other things his isolation and characterization of properties of asparagine the first amino acid to be identified from asparagus achieved in with louis nicolas vauquelin cantharidin caffeine alizarin later on moved to mass industrial production by carl grbe and carl theodore liebermann in germany and by william henry perkin in great britain and purpurin orcin amygdalin as well as codeine some of these discoveries were made in collaboration with other scientists academic titles and distinctions registered pharmacist lecturer in chemistry at the cole polytechnique deputy professor in history of pharmaceutical matters then professor then administratortreasurer at the ecole de pharmacie now the facult de pharmacie see member then secretary general and president of the socit de pharmacie later on known as acadmie nationale de pharmacie see member of the acadmie de mdecine member of the acadmie des sciences one of the founders and first president of the socit de prvoyance des pharmaciens see discovery of asparagin the first aminoacid ever identified in the fall of robiquet then a young help working in the laboratory of louis nicolas vauquelin started analyses with what rudimentary methods were then available with asparagus juice after a number of operations he obtained a cristallized white matter which he and vauquelin tried to characterize in as day by day their attempts found it to be some kind of new chemical principle with hitherto unknown properties nothing like well known mineral salts classically obtained in the th century duly convinced this is something completely new they call this matter asparagin after the asparagus plant they extracted it from asparagin will turn out to be one of the amino acids that buildup all living matter on earth the first ever identified and understood as belonging to a new class of molecules progress in isolating the other amino acids will be very slow with less than a handful in total during the whole th century discovery of th century all dyes used for colouring cloth were natural substances many of which were expensive and labourintensive to extract furthermore many lacked stability through washing or exposure to sunlight or fastness for instance the colour purple which had been a mark of aristocracy and prestige since ancient times in rome the middle east and egypt was especially expensive and difficult to producethe dye used known as tyrian purple was made from the glandular mucus of certain molluscs its extraction was variable and complicated and dependent on the availability of the very specific type of shell actually two types now known the one as bolinus brandaris and the other as hexaplex trunculus nowadays classified within two different genders from which it was extracted another type of natural red dye used from times immemorial was obtained from madder root in central asia and egypt where it was grown as early as bc cloth dyed with madder root pigment was found in the tomb of the pharaoh tutankhamun and in middle ages charlemagne encouraged madder cultivation it grew well in the sandy soils of the netherlands and became an important part of the local economy by the english dye maker george field had introduced new techniques known as lake madder that extended the use of the tincture to paints robiquet obtained from madder root two distinct molecules with dye properties the one producing a magnificent red that he called alizarin which proved as well extremely stable and another of less stable properties that he called purpurin some years later in april william henry perkin then a mere youngster working as assistant at the royal college of chemistry in london within a team intent on research over the synthesis of quinine a potent drug discovered a process that obtained a purple dye which he called mauveine from aniline which in turn could be easily obtained from coal tar over the next ten years perkin set up the first industrial model of molecules obtained through research from numerous teams all over europe on coal tar byproducts while he himself pursued such a work on top of his industrial activity thus it came that in in turn alizarin was proved to be obtainable from anthracene in parallel by perkin and by carl grbe and carl theodore liebermann both working in germany for the basf company unfortunately perkin missed the patent priority by one single day alizarin s extraordinary properties made it become the first really mass industryproduced dye and enabled the rise of basf to first rank in the chemistry industry world discovery and industrialization of codeine a safe morphinederivable molecule with widespread applications codeine is probably robiquet s most important contribution that prevails still today with a very strong presence and impact on everyman s daily life in effect until the beginning of the th century raw opium was used in diverse preparations known as laudanum see thomas de quincey s confessions of an english opiumeater paregoric elixirs a number of them very popular in and health or even death hazards to users from improper preparation or improper use were frequent the isolation of codeine by robiquet from opium s several active components while working on refined morphine extraction processes opened the path to the elaboration of a new generation of specific antitussive and antidiarrheal potions of much safer use based on codeine only which became immediately extremely popular codeine is nowadays by far the most widely used opiate in the world and very likely even the most commonly used drug overall according to numerous reports over the years by organizations such as the world health organization and its league of nations predecessor agency and others it is one of the most effective orallyadministered opioid analgesics and has a wide safety margin it is from to percent of the strength of morphine in most people differences in metabolism can change this figure as can other medications depending on its route of administration while codeine can still be directly extracted from opium its original source most codeine is nowadays synthesized from morphine through missing by a hair s breadth the identification of the benzoyl radical in robiquet has analysed the chemical byproducts that could be obtained from a variety of plants asparagus madder root as already mentioned with the important associated discoveries and also others which mostly helped in consolidating the existence of some molecules in a wide range of plants thus in robiquet extracts from liquorice root a sweetish matter which he dubs glycyrrhizine from glycirrhiza the denomination of the genus to which belongs liquorice he also obtained an oily fraction small quantities of a matter with properties of a gum albuminic substances tannins starch a yellowish dye a fraction with bitter taste and as from asparagi a fraction that can be crystallized and seemingly close to asparagin which it will be indeed proven to be in by plisson robiquet likewise analysed a variety of animal tissues thus in he isolated from lytta vesicatoria an he proves is the cause of the severe irritations and blisters provoked by that insect and is present in a variety of unrelated species that use the molecule as a protection of their eggs from predation two families of insects belonging to the order of coleoptera synthetise that molecule meloidae and oedemeridae the first family to the which lytta vesicatoria belongs in the lytta genus is rich of several thousands of species in fact even back into the days of the early classical period civilizations of the western mediterrean some types of flies from spain had a reputation for inducing aphrodisiac effects when used in preparations after having been desiccated cantharidin has never been proven to provide such collateral benefits whereas robiquet demonstrated it had very definite toxic and poisonous properties comparable in degree to that of the most violent poisons known in the th century such as strychnine this particular study that demonstrated as early as in the possibility to separate using energetic methods a simple principle that was the soft methods has been exemplary for the burgeoning community of chemists in the early th century and will prompt very rapidly a flurry of similar attempts that will yield within a few decades an incredible number of molecules from an ever growing number of research groups throughout europe and soon in the trail in the us in the frame of that same investigation robiquet in addition evidences the presence of uric acid within insects feeding on plant tissues over a period of some fifteen years pierre robiquet will also conduct a series of investigations on bitter almonds oil a complex substance obtained from prunus dulcis in together with jeanjacques colin they obtain a new component which they call ther hydrochlorique in effect dichloroethane which they will try to promote as a reinvigorating medicine a common pursuit in those days as is shown by the early uses of mixture such as cocacola in together with antoine boutroncharlard robiquet obtains a new molecule which he calls amygdalin this component presented strange evidenced this discovery was opening the door to the huge family of aromatic molecules that are based on the cyclic carbon benzenoic structure in their various attempts at breaking down amygdalin in byproducts robiquet and boutroncharlard obtained benzaldehyde but they failed in working out a proper interpretation of the structure of amygdalin that would account for it and thus missed the identification of the benzoyl radical c sub sub h sub sub o this last step was achieved some few months later by friedrich whler and justus liebig these two got somehow a bit unfairly all the credit for this breakthrough result that was opening an entirely new branch for the industry of chemicals with wideranging applications amygdalin and related variant molecules have been used throughout the th under promotion eg by ernst t krebs and th centuries as anticancer drugs however with inconclusive results as to actual benefits while it was demonstrated in in a study at the sloankettering cancer institute that amygdalin and a related product that was commercialized under the some

 the history of bournemouth and human settlement in the surrounding area goes back for thousands of years in the area was largely a remote and barren heathland used only by smugglers and revenue troops bourne heath was also known as wallis down in the north and little down in the south and east and was part of the great heath of central dorset which extended as far as dorchester to the east was christchurch to the west was poole and to the north east was the river stour there were villages at kinson throop holdenhurst and iford and a handful of buildings at pokesdown but the area between these communities was just a wilderness of pine trees gorse ferns and heather the area now called central bournemouth and the pier approach was bourne mouth the mouth of the bourne stream noone lived at bourne mouth and the only regular visitors were a few fishermen turf cutters and gangs of smugglers who landed their cargoes of spirits tea and the heath was called the liberty of west stour later the liberty of westover it was divided into six tythings muscliff muccleshell throop holdenhurst iford and tuckton amp wick these areas were common land used by the inhabitants for livestock and by the poor for wood and turves the western and southern parts of the heath had once been a hunting estate stourfield chase but by the late th century only a small part of this was maintained the decoy pond estate now known as coy pond and being wholly in the neighbouring historic town of poole comprising several fields around the bourne stream and including a cottage known as decoy pond house which stood near where the square is today christchurch inclosure act until the area was common land the christchurch inclosures act and the inclosure commissioners award of transferred hundreds of acres into act three commissioners were appointed to divide up the land and allot it according to an individual s entitlement they were also empowered to set out the roads and to sell plots of land to pay for their work in creating the award the commissioners were richard richardson of lincolns inn fields john wickens of mapperton dorset and william calpcott of holdenhurst their clerk was william baldwin of ringwood whilst the landed gentry were well represented with the commissioners the ordinary commoners who used and depended on the common land were concerned that they would lose all rights and would have nowhere for their animals and nowhere from which to collect wood and turves however they managed to persuade william west the farmer at muscliff farm to create a petition on their behalf and to present it to the commissioners at a meeting in ringwood the result was that five areas of land totalling acre were set aside for the benefit of the occupiers of certain cottages in lieu of their rights or pretended rights today known as meyrick park queens park kings park redhill common and seafield gardens and are held in trust by the five parks charity more than half the land sold was bought by two men william dean of littledown house who paid for acre including the west cliff and what is now king s park sir george ivison tapps the lord of the manor of christchurch paid for acre including the east cliff and part of central bournemouth sir george decided to plant thousands of pine trees on his land it was the valuable medicinal properties of these trees combined with the invigorating sea air that the town owes its origin in a new building appeared on the heath originally called the tapps arms after sir george tapps and later the tregonwell arms it stood where post office road meets old christchurch road the pub was a favourite haunt of smugglers and later became bournemouth s first post army officer lewis tregonwell visited in he found only a bridge crossing a small stream at the head of an unspoilt valley or chine that led out into poole bay an inn had recently been built near what is now the square the centre of bournemouth catering both for travellers and for the smugglers who lurked in the area at night captain tregonwell and his wife were so impressed by the area that they bought several acres and built a home which is today part of the royal exeter hotel tregonwell also planted pine trees providing a sheltered walk to the beach the town was to grow up around its scattered pines twentyfive years after the tregonwells started work on their holiday mansion bournemouth was still only a small community with a scattering of houses and cottages growth and development as a resort in after the death of sir george ivison tapps his son sir george william tappsgervis inherited his father s estate and started developing the seaside village up along the south coast such as weymouth and brighton sir george employed christchurch architect benjamin ferrey to plan the gervis estate the westover villas were commenced in ferrey included hotels in his design for bournemouth the first two hotels opened in one was the bath hotel which went on to become the royal bath although the original building was much smaller and less grand than the current facility the other was the belle vue boarding house which stood where the pavilion is now and later became the belle vue and pier hotel bournemouth also acquired its first church in before this people had to travel to poole holdenhurst or christchurch for sunday worship the first church was converted from a pair of semidetached cottages which stood in the square roughly where debenhams is today a pointed turret was added to the roof and fitted with a bell during the week the building was used as a schoolroom by there were still only a few hundred people living in bournemouth but seaside village had an important visitor a physician called augustus bozzi granville the author of a book called the spas of england which described health resorts around the country as a result of his visit dr granville included a chapter on bournemouth in the second edition of his book it was this more than anything that put the town on the map as the perfect place for people with health problems especially chest complaints which were far more common in the th century than today bournemouth quickly became a destination for affluent holidaymakers and for invalids in search of the sea air in the s the fields south of the road crossing later the square were drained and laid out with shrubberies and walks in a bridge was built over the bourne stream providing the beginning of the square in parliament approved the bournemouth improvement act under the act a board of commissioners was established to organise all the things involved in the running of a small but street lighting and street cleaning under the guidance of their surveyor christopher crabb creeke the bournemouth commissioners quickly launched a programme of work designed to improve the amenities of their town and make it more attractive to visitors the commissioners continued to govern the town until and were the forerunners of the bournemouth borough council of today by the s the fields to the north were also laid out with walks by the owners of the branksome estate in the early s all the fields were leased to the bournemouth commissioners by the freeholders these fields now form the pleasure gardens which run through the centre of the town although the name the lower pleasure gardens is no longer officially applied to the area south of the square the area continued to progress with the development of the railways and the popular idea of visiting the seaside for holidays among the people who contributed to the development of bournemouth at this time were sir percy shelley son of percy bysshe shelley and mary shelley and railway on march the london and south western railway company opened the first railway station in the town following an extension of the ringwoodchristchurch branch line the station was built on the east side of holdenhurst road the facilities offered by this station were very basic on june a second station opened in queens road near westbourne at the end of an extension from broadstone junction it was served initially only by the somerset and dorset joint railway with trains connecting with the lswr at wimborne on july the present mainline station designed by william jacob was opened on the west side of holdenhurst road a link between the two stations then known as bournemouth west and bournemouth east was opened on september also in a boscombe station was opened the name was later changed to pokesdown boscombe in when a new boscombe station since closed was opened on land situated renamed pokesdown the new bournemouth east station was renamed bournemouth central on may the building of railway links made bournemouth much easier to get to and more people began to visit the town tram between july and april bournemouth corporation operated a tramway between bournemouth poole christchurch and winton on may a tram was derailed on avenue road near to the present day library killing people and seriously injuring the tramway system began its closure in when motorbuses of hants and dorset motor services were introduced as a tram replacement on the lower parkstone route bournemouth tram number is preserved and on static display at the museum of electricity in christchurch the pleasure gardens and the sanatorium a large sanatorium overlooking the central gardens treated patients with chest diseases it has recently been redeveloped as brompton court a complex of retirement homes preserving its remarkable chapel next to the sanatorium was built the magnificent mont dore hotel hotel s heyday in the s it was renowned nationally and internationally for its sumptuous luxury which included possessing one of the first telephones in england the number was the hotel was then used during the first world war as a hospital to treat wounded soldiers although the number of invalids sent to the town dropped in the late th century the resort was still booming and its population increasing rapidly as bournemouth s popularity increased the town centre spawned theatres concert halls cafs cinemas and more hotels history of bournemouth pier the first pier in bournemouth consisted of a short wooden jetty that was completed in this was replaced by a much longer wooden pier designed by george rennie which opened on september due to an attack by teredo worm the wooden piles were removed in favour of cast iron replacements in but even with this additional benefit just over a year later the pier was made unusable when the tshaped landing stage was swept away in a for a further ten years until november when another severe storm caused further collapse rendering the pier too short for steamboat traffic the rennie pier was subsequently demolished and replaced in by a temporary structure during the next three years a new pier designed by eugenius birch was completed at a cost of the new bournemouth pier was opened by the lord mayor of london on august consisting of an open promenade it stretched to a length of ft m and spanned some ft m across the neck of the pier extending to ft m at the head with the addition of a bandstand in military band concerts took place three times a day in summer and twice daily throughout the winter covered shelters were also provided at this time two extensions in and respectively took the pier s overall length to more than ft m in common with virtually all bournemouth pier was substantially demolished by soldiers from the th field park company of the royal engineers on july as a precaution against german invasion the pier was repaired and reopened in august refurbishment of the pier head was carried out in and ten years later a rebuild of the substructure was completed in concrete to take the weight of a new pier theatre a structural survey of found major areas of corrosion and in a m restoration program was initiated having demolished the old shoreward end buildings replacing them with a new twostorey octagonal leisure complex and reconstructed the pier neck in concrete giving it the bridgelike appearance that it retains today the work was completed in two years the winter gardens the town s first large entertainment venue was the original glass winter gardens built in as the home of the town s municipal orchestra now the internationally renowned bournemouth symphony orchestra elgar sibelius and holst conducted there but the acoustics were was demolished its replacement opened two years later was intended as an indoor bowls centre but by chance turned out to have superb acoustics and after the second world war it became the orchestra s new home before the opening of the bic the winter gardens welcomed just about every major entertainer of the day including maurice chevalier the beatles pink floyd queen and morecambe and wise the building had been in decline since the late s and stood closed as the town council examined alternative uses then despite a local vote and promises that it would be kept open the hall was demolished in may the pavilion and the westover road cinemas the pavilion dates from and was built on the site of the former belle vue boarding house one of the town s first buildings theatrical legends including ralph richardson and trevor howard played the pavilion theatre in its heyday the pavilion faces the cinemas and upmarket shops of westover road which prides road s odeon cinema began life as the regent in and retains many of the art deco features of the era it was known as the gaumont from and used to host live performances as well as films stars who appeared there included ella fitzgerald dusty springfield victor borge and in the beatles the cinema now has six screens the nearby abc cinema dates from when it contained one seater auditorium it has three auditoriums today one of them boasting the areas largest cinema screen and is capable of projecting epics in mm recent research has suggested that local residents especially those of a younger demographic are keen to see a new live entertainment venue easily accessible to the surrounding areas recent history the section of the coast both to the east and to the west of bournemouth was very important during the second world war for example poole poole harbour was the departure point for many ships participating in the dday landings and studland of practice live fire beach landings in preparation for the normandy landings bournemouth itself was not a main target of bombing during the war but was on the route for other raids eg on coventry and german bombers were known to unload their spare bombs on the town local people were killed by bombing during the war after the second world war bournemouth saw a period of decline as a seaside resort and a tourist destination similar to other resorts across england however the population of the town and its surrounding suburbs continued to grow at a considerable rate in the town had a population of people by this had risen to and by it had more than doubled again reaching in the latest census the town had a population of since the s there have been increasing calls for the town together with poole to attain official city status as per the example of brighton amp hove due to its sheer expanse boundaries saw bournemouth being moved from hampshire to dorset in in bournemouth became a unitary authority on september bournemouth was one of the first areas outside a major city to get its own independent radio station cr fm broadcasts from near bournemouth railway station its name meaning counties radio is derived from the fact that its broadcast area includes parts of the counties of dorset and hampshire the town itself has continued to expand its business and tourist destination potential the bournemouth eye for example is located in the lower gardens a few yards from the square it is a tethered heliumfilled balloon in which the public can travel up to a height of five hundred feet depending on the weather on any given day in high winds it sometimes does not operate there are good views to be obtained of the surrounding area from the isle of wight round including the purbeck hills and cranborne chase in the s a leisure complex by bournemouth pier the building itself proved deeply unpopular amongst locals for its lack of aesthetic quality and for blocking the sea view it featured on and came second in demolition a channel programme asking the public to choose the building that they most wanted to demolish questions were asked of the council about the cost of demolition as a result the building is currently being demolished to create an outdoor public space bournemouth was the first local council in the uk to install closedcircuit television recently a new million bournemouth library was completed in winning the prime minister s better public building award in the british construction industry awards competition in recognition of its relatively low cost and high fit with client requirements in recent years the town has attracted a high number of jobs in financial services with jp morgan chase liverpool victoria abbey life and portman building society all opening major offices jp morgan chase has a large campus style office on the outskirts of the town town centre and employs over people in the town the financial sector is in fact the biggest source of income for bournemouth although a general misbelief is that the tourism sector is responsible for this

 the lesser antillean macaw or guadeloupe macaw ara guadeloupensis is a hypothetical extinct species of macaw which may have been endemic to the lesser antillean island of guadeloupe in spite of the absence of conserved specimens many details about the lesser antillean macaw are known from several contemporary accounts and the bird is thought to be the subject of some illustrations it is therefore one of the bestdocumented species of hypothetical extinct bird based on these accounts austin hobart clark named the species in a parrot ulna from the island of mariegalante was assigned to the species in but this identification has since been disputed according to contemporary descriptions the body was red and the wings were red blue and yellow the tail feathers were long apart from the smaller size and the allred colouration of the tail feathers it resembled the scarlet macaw of tropical south america and may therefore have been a close relative of that species or possibly captive scarlet macaws which including those of the poisonous manchineel tree was monogamous nested in trees and laid two eggs twice a year early writers described it as being abundant on guadeloupe but it was becoming rare by and only survived in uninhabited areas disease and hunting by humans are thought to have eradicated it shortly after the lesser antillean macaw is one of thirteen extinct macaw species hat have been proposed to have lived in the caribbean islands many of these species are now considered dubious because only two are known from physical remains and there are no extant endemic macaws on the islands today macaws were frequently transported between the caribbean islands and the south american mainland in both prehistoric and historic times so it is impossible to know whether contemporaneous reports refer to imported or native species taxonomy the lesser antillean macaw is welldocumented in spite of the lack of any existing specimens since it was mentioned and described by several contemporaneous writers red parrots thought to be the lesser antillean macaw were first mentioned in referring to a account by ferdinand columbus who mentioned parrots as big as chickens which the caribs called guacamayas on guadeloupe in comte de buffon also stated that christopher columbus had found macaws on guadeloupe jeanbaptiste du tertre gave the first detailed descriptions in and and illustrated the bird and other animals found on guadeloupe jean baptiste labat also described the bird in austin hobart clark gave the lesser antillean macaw its scientific name ara guadeloupensis in based on the contemporaneous accounts but he also cited a colour plate as possibly depicting this species he wrote that it was different in several features from the superficially similar scarlet macaw ara macao as well as the greenwinged macaw ara chloropterus and the cuban macaw ara tricolor the ornithologist james greenway wrote that the macaws reported from guadeloupe could have been imported to the island to prove according to the palaeontologist julian hume its similarity to the scarlet macaw indicates that they are close relatives and that the guadeloupe species may have descended from the mainland macaw greenway believed the scarlet macaw and the cuban macaw formed a superspecies with the lesser antillean macaw and other hypothetical extinct species suggested for jamaica and hispaniola a small parrot ulna found on the folle anse archaeological site on mariegalante an adjacent island was assigned to the lesser antillean macaw by the ornithologists matthew williams and david steadman in the ornithologists storrs olson and edgar maz lpez cast doubt upon this identification and proposed that the bone belonged to the extant imperial amazon amazona imperialis its size and robustness was similar to ulnae of that species and though it was worn they identified what appeared to be a notch which is also present on ulnae of the genus amazona but not in the genus ara in the same paper sympatric parrot the guadeloupe amazon amazona violacea arguing it was also probably identical to the imperial amazon subfossil remains from the island of montserrat have also been suggested to belong to the lesser antillean macaw extinct caribbean macaws macaws are known to have been transported between the caribbean islands and from mainland south america both in historic times by europeans and natives and prehistoric times by paleoamericans parrots were important in the culture of native caribbeans were traded between islands and were among the gifts offered to christopher columbus when he reached the bahamas in it is therefore difficult to determine whether the numerous historical records of macaws on these islands mention distinct endemic species since they could have been escaped individuals or feral populations of foreign macaws of known species that had been transported there as many as thirteen extinct macaws have at times been suggested to have lived on the islands until recently only two endemic caribbean macaw species are known from physical remains the cuban macaw the saint croix macaw ara autochthones is only known from subfossils no endemic caribbean macaws remain today they were likely driven to extinction by humans in historic and prehistoric times many hypothetical extinct macaws were based only on contemporaneous accounts but these species are considered dubious today several of them were named in the early th century by walter rothschild who had a tendency to name species based on little tangible evidence the violet macaw anodorhynchus purpurascens was named for accounts of blue parrots also reported from guadeloupe the redheaded macaw ara erythrocephala and the jamaican red macaw ara gossei were named for accounts of macaws on jamaica the martinique macaw ara martinica from martinique island and the dominican greenandyellow macaw ara atwoodi was supposedly from dominica island the tail feathers of the scarlet macaw are long and have blue tips and the the tail feathers being shorter it is not certain whether the lesser antillean macaw was smaller than the scarlet macaw overall as the relative proportions of body parts vary between macaw species the tail feathers were longer than those of the cuban macaw which were long du tetre described the lesser antillean macaw as follows in labat described the lesser antilles macaw in much the same way in both authors wrote that the macaws were the largest parrots of guadeloupe and stressed that the parrot species of each caribbean island was distinct and could be distinguished from each other visually and vocally according to hume this means that the birds described could not simply have been escaped south american macaws furthermore the docile and amiable nature described by du tetre and labat does not match the behaviour of south american macaws contemporary depictions apart from du tetre s crude drawing and labat s derivative a few contemporaneous paintings depict red macaws that may be the lesser antilles macaw a colour plate entitled lara rouge shows a red macaw with entirely red tail feathers and more red on the tertial and scapular feathers of the wing than are present on the scarlet macaw behaviour and ecology du tetre gave a detailed account of the behaviour of the lesser antillean macaw in in a work du tetre gave a similar account and also said that the macaw only ate the poisonous manchineel fruits in times of necessary he also described its reproductive behaviour the twiceyearly breeding may have actually been staggered breeding which is practised by some tropical birds clark wrote that the lesser antillean macaw also occurred on dominica and martinique but there is no evidence for this it may instead have existed on islands close to guadeloupe extinction in johann huttich wrote that the forests of guadeloupe were full of this macaw which was apparently as abundant as grasshoppers and the natives of the island cooked it together with human flesh and that of other birds in eat and that some considered it unpalatable and even poisonous he wrote that he and the other inhabitants of the island often consumed it and that he experienced no ill effects from it he also stated that the natives wore the feathers as head decoration and as moustaches through the septum of the nose he described how it was hunted by the natives since du tetre wrote that the macaws were prone to sickness an outbreak of a disease along with hunting may have contributed to its demise in mathurin jacques brisson quoted a letter by m de la borde which stated that macaws had become very rare in the antillean islands because they were hunted for food by then they could by only be found in areas not frequented by man and were probably extinct soon after parrots are often among the first species to be exterminated from a given locality especially islands

 physical organic chemistry is the study of the relationship between structure and reactivity of organic molecules more specifically physical organic chemistry applies the experimental tools of physical chemistry to the study of the structure of organic molecules and provides a theoretical framework which interprets how structure influences both mechanisms and rates of organic reactions it can be thought of as a subfield that bridges organic chemistry with physical chemistry the term physical organic chemistry was itself coined by louis hammett in when he used the phrase as a title for his textbook physical organic chemists use both experimental and theoretical disciplines such as spectroscopy spectrometry crystallography computational chemistry and quantum theory to study both the rates of organic reactions and the relative chemical stability of the starting materials transition states and products chemists in this field work to understand the physical underpinnings of modern organic chemistry and therefore physical organic chemistry has applications in specialized areas including polymer chemistry supramolecular chemistry electrochemistry and photochemistry chemical structure tools of thermodynamics to study the bonding stability and energetics of chemical systems this includes experiments to measure or determine the enthalpy h entropy s and gibbs free energy g of a reaction transformation or isomerization chemists may use various chemical and mathematical analyses such as a va nt hoff plot to calculate these values empirical constants such as bond dissociation energy standard heat of formation h sub f sub and heat of combustion h sub c sub are used to predict the stability of molecules and the change in enthalpy h through the course of the reactions for complex molecules a h sub f sub value may not be available but can be estimated using molecular fragments with known heats of formation this type of analysis is often referred to as benson group increment theory after chemist sidney benson who spent a career developing the concept the thermochemistry of reactive intermediates carbocations carbanions and radicals is data are available for radical systems carbocation and carbanion stabilities can be assessed using hydride ion affinities and pk sub a sub values respectively conformational analysis one of the primary methods for evaluating chemical stability and energetics is conformational analysis physical organic chemists use conformational analysis to evaluate the various types of strain present in a molecule to predict reaction products strain can be found in both acyclic and cyclic molecules manifesting itself in diverse systems as torsional strain allylic strain ring strain and syn pentane strain avalues provide a quantitative basis for predicting the conformation of a substituted cyclohexane an important class of cyclic organic compounds whose reactivity is strongly guided by conformational effects the avalue is the difference in the gibbs free energy between the axial and equatorial forms of substituted cyclohexane and by adding together the avalues of various substituents it is possible to quantitatively predict the preferred conformation of a cyclohexane derivative in addition to molecular stability conformational analysis is used to predict reaction products analysis is a bimolecular elimination reaction e this reaction proceeds most readily when the nucleophile attacks the species that is antiperiplanar to the leaving group a molecular orbital analysis of this phenomenon suggest that this conformation provides the best overlap between the electrons in the rh bonding orbital that is undergoing nucleophilic attack and the empty antibonding orbital of the rx bond that is being broken by exploiting this effect conformational analysis can be used to design molecules that possess enhanced reactivity the physical processes which give rise to bond rotation barriers are complex and these barriers have been extensively studied through experimental and theoretical methods a number of recent articles have investigated the predominance of the steric electrostatic and hyperconjugative contributions to rotational barriers in ethane butane and more substituted molecules noncovalent interactions chemists use the study of intramolecular and intermolecular noncovalent bondinginteractions in molecules to evaluate reactivity such interactions include but are not limited to hydrogen bonding electrostatic interactions between charged molecules dipoledipole interactions polar and bonding in addition the hydrophobic effectthe association of organic compounds in wateris an electrostatic noncovalent interaction of interest to chemists the precise physical origin of the hydrophobic effect originates from many complex interactions but it is believed to be the most important component of biomolecular recognition in water for example xu and melcher et al elucidated the structural basis for folic acid recognition by folate acid receptor proteins the strong interaction between folic acid and folate receptor was attributed to both hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions the study of noncovalent interactions is also used to study binding and cooperativity in supramolecular assemblies and macrocyclic compounds such as crown ethers and cryptands which can act as hosts to guest molecules acidbase chemistry the properties of acids and bases are relevant to physical organic chemistry organic chemists are primarily concerned with brnstedlowry acidsbases as proton donorsacceptors and lewis acidsbases as electron acceptorsdonors in organic reactions chemists use a series of factors developed from physical chemistry toolong bond strengths resonance basicities the hardsoft acidbase principle is utilized to predict molecular interactions and reaction direction in general interactions between molecules of the same type are preferred that is hard acids will associate with hard bases and soft acids with soft bases the concept of hard acids and bases is often exploited in the synthesis of inorganic coordination complexes kinetics physical organic chemists use the mathematical foundation of chemical kinetics to study the rates of reactions and reaction mechanisms unlike thermodynamics which is concerned with the relative stabilities of the products and reactants g and their equilibrium concentrations the study of kinetics focuses on the free energy of activation g sup sup the difference in free energy between the reactant structure and the transition state structureof a reaction and therefore allows a chemist to study the process of equilibration mathematically derived formalisms such as the hammond postulate the curtinhammett principle and the theory of microscopic reversibility are often applied to organic chemistry chemists have also used the principle of thermodynamic laws the study of chemical kinetics is used to determine the rate law for a reaction the rate law provides a quantitative relationship between the rate of a chemical reaction and the concentrations or pressures of the chemical species present rate laws must be determined by experimental measurement and generally can not be elucidated from the chemical equation the experimentally determined rate law refers to the stoichiometry of the transition state structure relative to the ground state structure determination of the rate law was historically accomplished by monitoring the concentration of a reactant during a reaction through gravimetric analysis but today it is almost exclusively done through fast and unambiguous spectroscopic techniques in most cases the determination of rate equations is simplified by adding a large excess flooding all but one of the reactants catalysis the study of catalysis and catalytic reactions is very important to the field of physical organic chemistry a catalyst participates in the chemical reaction but is not consumed in the process a catalyst lowers the activation energy barrier g sup either stabilizing the transition state structure or destabilizing a key reaction intermediate and as only a small amount of catalyst is required it can provide economic access to otherwise expensive or difficult to synthesize organic molecules catalysts may also influence a reaction rate by changing the mechanism of the reaction kinetic isotope effect although a rate law provides the stoichiometry of the transition state structure it does not provide any information about breaking or forming bonds the substitution of an isotope near a reactive position often leads to a change in the rate of a reaction isotopic substitution changes the potential energy of reaction intermediates and transition states because heavier isotopes form stronger bonds with other atoms atomic mass affects the zeropoint vibrational state of the associated molecules shorter and stronger bonds in molecules with heavier isotopes and longer weaker bonds in molecules with light isotopes because vibrational motions will often change during a course of a reaction due to the making and breaking of bonds the frequencies will be affected and the substitution of an law substituent effects the study of how substituents affect the reactivity of a molecule or the rate of reactions is of significant interest to chemists substituents can exert an effect through both steric and electronic interactions the latter of which include resonance and inductive effects the polarizability of molecule can also be affected most substituent effects are analyzed through linear free energy relationships lfres the most common of these is the hammett plot analysis this analysis compares the effect of various substituents on the ionization of benzoic acid with their impact on diverse chemical systems the parameters of the hammett plots are sigma and rho the value of indicates the acidity of substituted benzoic acid relative to the unsubstituted form a positive value indicates the compound is more acidic while a negative value indicates that the substituted version is less acidic the value is a measure of the sensitivity of the reaction to the change in substituent but only measures inductive effects therefore two new scales were produced one is sup sup which concerns substituents that stabilize positive charges via resonance and the other is sup sup which is for groups that stabilize negative charges via resonance hammett analysis can be used to help elucidate the possible mechanisms of a reaction for example if it is predicted that the transition state structure has a buildup of negative charge relative to the ground state structure then electrondonating groups would be expected to increase the rate of the reaction other lfre scales have been developed steric and polar effects are analyzed through taft parameters changing the solvent instead of the reactant can provide insight into changes in charge during the reaction the grunwaldwinstein plot provides quantitative insight into these effects solvent effects solvents can have a powerful effect on solubility stability and reaction rate a change in solvent can also allow a chemist to influence the thermodynamic or kinetic control of the reaction reactions proceed at different rates in different solvents due to the change in charge distribution during a chemical transformation transition state structures a prime example of the effect of solvent is the comparison of s sub n sub and s sub n sub reactions solvent can also have a significant effect on the thermodynamic equilibrium of a system a common example of this is ketoenol tautomerization in nonpolar aprotic solvents the enol form is strongly favored due to the formation of an intramolecular hydrogenbond while in polar aprotic solvents such as methylene chloride the enol form is less favored due to the interaction between the polar solvent and the polar diketone in protic solvents the equilibrium lies towards the keto form as the intramolecular hydrogen bond competes with hydrogen bonds originating from the solvent a modern example of the study of solvent effects on chemical equilibrium can be seen in the study by carlier et al on the epimerization of chiral cyclopropylnitrile grignard reagents in this study it is shown that the equilibrium constant for the cis to trans isomerization of the grignard reagent is much greaterthat form is enhancedin thf over diethyl ether however the faster rate of cis to trans isomerization in thf results in a loss of stereochemical purity the understanding of the molecular configuration of reagents such as these is particularly important for improved selectivity in asymmetric synthesis quantum chemistry many aspects of the structurereactivity relationship in organic chemistry can be rationalized through resonance electron pushing induction the eight electron rule and sp hybridization but these are only helpful formalisms and do not represent physical reality due to these limitations a true understanding of physical organic chemistry requires a more rigorous approach grounded in particle physics quantum chemistry provides a rigorous theoretical framework capable of predicting the properties of molecules through calculation of a molecules electronic structure and it has become a readily available tool in physical organic chemists in the form of popular software packages the power of quantum chemistry is built on the wave model of the atom in which the nucleus is a very small positively charged sphere surrounded their associated wavefunction an equation which contains all information associated with that particle all information about the system is contained in the wavefunction this information is extracted from the wavefunction through the use of mathematical operators the energy associated with a particular wavefunction perhaps the most important information contained in a wavefunction can be extracted by solving the schrdinger equation above is the wavefunction e is the energy and is the hamiltonian operator in which an appropriate hamiltonian operator is applied in the various forms of the schrdinger equation the overall size of a particles probability distribution increases with decreasing particle mass for this reason nuclei are of negligible size in relation to much lighter electrons and are treated as point charges in practical applications of quantum chemistry due to complex interactions which arise from electronelectron repulsion algebraic solutions of the schrdinger equation are only possible for systems with one electron such as the hydrogen atom h sub sub sup sup h sub sub sup sup etc familiar atomic s p d f and bonding orbitals in systems with multiple electrons an overall multielectron wavefunction describes all of their properties at once such wavefunctions are generated through the linear addition of single electron wavefunctions to generate an initial guess which is repeatedly modified until its associated energy is minimized thousands of guesses are often required until a satisfactory solution is found so such calculations are performed by powerful computers importantly the solutions for atoms with multiple electrons give properties such as diameter and electronegativity which closely mirror experimental data and the patterns found in the periodic table the solutions for molecules such as methane provide exact representations of their electronic structure which are unobtainable by experimental methods instead of four discrete bonds from carbon to each hydrogen atom theory predicts a set of four bonding molecular orbitals which are delocalized across the entire molecule similarly the true electronic structure of butadiene shows delocalized bonding molecular orbitals stretching through the entire molecule rather than two isolated a complete electronic structure offers great predictive power for organic transformations and dynamics especially in cases concerning aromatic molecules extended systems bonds between metal ions and organic molecules molecules containing nonstandard heteroatoms like selenium and boron and the conformational dynamics of large molecules such as proteins wherein the many approximations in chemical formalisms make structure and reactivity prediction impossible an example of how electronic structure determination is a useful tool for the physical organic chemist is the metalcatalyzed dearomatization of benzene chromium tricarbonyl is highly electrophilic due to the withdrawal of electron density from filled chromium dorbitals into antibonding co orbitals and is able to covalently bond to the face of a benzene molecule through delocalized molecular orbitals the co ligands inductively draw electron density from benzene through the chromium atom and dramatically activate benzene to nucleophilic attack nucleophiles are then able to react to make hexacyclodienes which can be used in further transformations such as diels alder cycloadditons quantum chemistry can also provide insight into the mechanism of an organic transformation without the collection of any experimental given molecular state guessed molecular geometries can be optimized to give relaxed molecular structures very similar to those found through experimental methods reaction coordinates can then be simulated and transition state structures solved solving a complete energy surface for a given reaction is therefore possible and such calculations have been applied to many problems in organic chemistry where kinetic data is unavailable or difficult to acquire spectroscopy spectrometry and crystallography physical organic chemistry often entails the identification of molecular structure dynamics and the concentration of reactants in the course of a reaction the interaction of molecules with light can afford a wealth of data about such properties through nondestructive spectroscopic experiments with light absorbed when the energy of a photon matches the difference in energy between two states in a molecule and emitted when an excited state in a molecule collapses to a lower energy state spectroscopic techniques are broadly classified by the type of excitation being probed such as vibrational rotational electronic nuclear magnetic resonance nmr and electron structure determination is often aided by complementary data collected from xray diffraction and mass spectrometric experiments nmr and epr spectroscopy one of the most powerful tools in physical organic chemistry is nmr spectroscopy an external magnetic field applied to a paramagnetic nucleus generates two discrete states with positive and negative spin values diverging in energy the difference in energy can then be probed by determining the frequency of light needed to excite a change in spin state for a given magnetic field nuclei that are not indistinguishable in a given molecule absorb at different frequencies and the integrated peak area in an nmr spectrum is proportional to the number of nuclei responding to that frequency it is possible to quantify the relative concentration of different organic molecules simply by integration peaks in the spectrum and many kinetic experiments can be easily and quickly performed by following the progress of a reaction within one nmr sample proton nmr is often used by the synthetic organic chemist because protons associated with certain functional groups give characteristic absorption energies but nmr spectroscopy fluorine phosphorus boron and a host of other elements in addition to simple absorption experiments it is also possible to determine the rate of fast atom exchange reactions through suppression exchange measurements interatomic distances through multidimensional nuclear overhauser effect experiments and throughbond spinspin coupling through homonuclear correlation spectroscopy in addition to the spin excitation properties of nuclei it is also possible to study the properties of organic radicals through the same fundamental technique unpaired electrons also have a net spin and an external magnetic field allows for the extraction of similar information through electron paramagnetic resonance epr spectroscopy vibrational spectroscopy vibrational spectroscopy or infrared ir spectroscopy allows for the identification of functional groups and due to its low expense and robustness is often used in teaching labs and the realtime monitoring of reaction progress in difficult to reach environments high pressure high temperature gas phase phase boundaries molecular vibrations are quantized in an analogous manner to electronic wavefunctions with integer increases in energy between vibrational states is nearly constant often falling in the energy range corresponding to infrared photons because at normal temperatures molecular vibrations closely resemble harmonic oscillators it allows for the crude identification of functional groups in organic molecules but spectra are complicated by vibrational coupling between nearby functional groups in complex molecules therefore its utility in structure determination is usually limited to simple molecules further complicating matters is that some vibrations do not induce a change in the molecular dipole moment and will not be observable with standard ir absorption spectroscopy these can instead be probed through raman spectroscopy but this technique requires a more elaborate apparatus and is less commonly performed however as raman spectroscopy relies on light scattering it can be performed on microscopic samples such as the surface of a heterogeneous catalyst a phase boundary or on a one microliter l subsample within a larger liquid volume the applications of vibrational spectroscopy are often used by astronomers to study the composition of molecular gas clouds extrasolar planetary atmospheres and spectroscopy or ultravioletvisible uvvis spectroscopy is performed in the visible and ultraviolet regions of the electromagnetic spectrum and is useful for probing the difference in energy between the highest energy occupied homo and lowest energy unoccupied lumo molecular orbitals this information is useful to physical organic chemists in the design of organic photochemical systems and dyes as absorption of different wavelengths of visible light give organic molecules color a detailed understanding of an electronic structure is therefore helpful in explaining electronic excitations and through careful control of molecular structure it is possible to tune the homolumo gap to give desired colors and excited state properties mass spectrometry mass spectrometry is a technique which allows for the measurement of molecular mass and offers complementary data to spectroscopic techniques for structural identification in a typical experiment a gas phase sample of an organic material is ionized and the resulting ionic species are accelerated by an applied electric field into a magnetic field the deflection imparted by the magnetic field often combined with the time it then used to calculate the mass of the molecule often in the course of sample ionization large molecules break apart and the resulting data show a parent mass and a number of smaller fragment masses such fragmentation can give rich insight into the sequence of proteins and nucleic acid polymers in addition to the mass of a molecule and its fragments the distribution of isotopic variant masses can also be determined and the qualitative presence of certain elements identified due to their characteristic natural isotope distribution the ratio of fragment mass population to the parent ion population can be compared against a library of empirical fragmentation data and matched to a known molecular structure combined gas chromatography and mass spectrometry is used to qualitatively identify molecules and quantitatively measure concentration with great precision and accuracy and is widely used to test for small quantities of biomolecules and illicit narcotics in blood samples for synthetic organic chemists it is a useful tool for the characterization of new compounds and reaction products crystallography unlike spectroscopic methods xray crystallography always allows lengths totally unavailable through spectroscopy it is often used in physical organic chemistry to provide an absolute molecular configuration and is an important tool in improving the synthesis of a pure enantiomeric substance it is also the only way to identify the position and bonding of elements that lack an nmr active nucleus such as oxygen indeed before xray structural determination methods were made available in the early th century all organic structures were entirely conjectural tetrahedral carbon for example was only confirmed by the crystal structure of diamond and the delocalized structure of benzene was confirmed by the crystal structure of hexamethylbenzene while crystallography provides organic chemists with highly satisfying data it is not an everyday technique in organic chemistry because a perfect single crystal of a target compound must be grown only complex molecules for which nmr data can not be unambiguously interpreted require this technique in the example below the structure of the hostguest complex would have been quite difficult to solve without a single crystal structure there are no protons on two halves of the organic

of which survive today local taxes and became a place of inns low lodgings squatters and outlaws old market street prospered as bristols trade grew developing into a m long street connecting the east gate of the castle with lawfords gate wide in its middle section and narrowing for the gates in the th and th century the area grew in importance and became the site of almshouses and manufacture as well as houses inns and shops old market did not fare well in the english civil war during the parliamentarian attack on lawfords gate much of west street may have been destroyed and buildings to the

respectively the cat and the moon takes some of its lyrics from frodo s drinking song in the fellowship of the ring the song of hope includes elvish lyrics which are a reworking of galadriel s lament in the fellowship of the ring though the lament for moria takes lyrics from gimli s lament in the fellowship of the ring the song lothlrien is performed by legolas as an introduction to galadriel at the same point in the novel legolas sings about the elfmaiden nimrodel and although the two songs share a similar sentiment their lyrics are unrelated the song now and for always is taken from a conversation between frodo and sam in the two towers the lyrics to wonder performed by galadriel are reminiscent of the song of eldamara lament sung and played on the harp by galadriel in the fellowship of the ring many of the songs feature lyrics in quenya one of the fictional languages developed by tolkien despite the fact that the elves during the third age communicated in sindarin the writers opted for quenya because tolkien had developed this language the most and it is a form of elvish appropriate to the characters original london cast recording and features musical numbers from the show the cd release was accompanied by a dvd with superior sound quality and dvd bonuses disc features an alternative version of the song of hope duet and a slideshow of production images it does not contain any video material although six official music videos had been filmed awards and nominations original london production

 tobiah was an ammonite official possibly a governor of ammon possibly also of jewish descent who incited the ammonites to hinder nehemiah s efforts to rebuild jerusalem he along with sanballat the horonite and geshem the arab resorted to a stratagem and pretending to wish a conference with nehemiah invited him to meet them at ono benjamin four times they made the request and every time nehemiah refused to come their object was to frighten him from completing the restoration of jerusalem s walls and to do him some kind of harm tobiah also had married a daughter of shecaniah a judahite leader and had given his son jehohanan in marriage to the daughter of meshullam another judahite leader for ostensibly political purposes because of this he somehow gained enough of a judahite coalition to use the judahites themselves to send letters to nehemiah telling him of tobiah s good deeds in an apparent attempt to weaken nehemiah s resolve to keep tobiah out of to nehemiah additionally tobiah had established a close relationship with eliashib the high priest whose grandson had married the daughter of sanballat the horonite such that eliashib leased the storerooms of the temple intended to be filled with the israelite s grain offerings incense temple articles and the tithes of grain new wine and oil meant for the work of the temple and the temple workers themselves so that tobiah could conduct business in the newly constructed temple upon hearing this nehemiah who was then in babylon serving artaxerxes i requested permission to return to judah after returning he promptly threw all of tobiah s belongings out of the temple room purified the room and put back all that had originally been there it is possible though uncertain that tobiah the ammonite may be related to other tobiahs mentioned in extrabiblical sources the lachish ostraca mention a tobiah who is a servant of the king josephus later mentions a rich and influential tobiad family from around the geographic otherwise related to this same tobiah

 the fury is the ninth studio album and seventh under his own name by musician gary numan released in it saw him continuing to explore the samplingheavy industrial sound he had developed for the previous album berserker in the album was his second released under his selfowned numa records label overview although numan s previous album berserker had failed to make a notable commercial impact numan decided to continue with a similar sound for his next record for the second time in his career he decided to team up with other people to produce his album recruiting the wave team mike smith ian herron as his coproducers colin thurston assisted on the production of one track the fury as the album was to be called continued with the highly sampled metallic industrial sound heard on berserker but added layers of electronic funk that he had previously and warriors the style would become a crucial part of his music as the s progressed as on berserker the rhythm section is dominated by aggressive electronic percussion and usage of samples but the fretless bass that had been an important element on the previous album disappeared almost completely with only three tracks on the new album featuring a bass the rhythm elements were balanced with the usage of a ppg wave synthesiser saxophonist dick morrissey who had appeared on warriors again provided the more melodic elements while guitars were virtually nonexistent tessa niles and tracey ackerman contributed female backing vocals similar to those already heard on berserker which would be another continuing theme in numan s work until the early s of the album numan later recalled the usage of sampling on the album is especially prominent on the album s anthemic opening track and second single call out from the science fiction movie blade runner this marked the beginning of numan s fascination with the movie that would also resurface on his next three studio albums strange charm in metal rhythm in and outland in the original album artwork was very much at odds with the music featuring an oddly bryan ferrylike numan dressed in a white suit with a red bowtie posing in a tilted photograph against a whitedominant background with the album name written on a typeface reminding the viewer of s futurism numan later admitted that the cover was completely inappropriate probably did the album a great disservice and made him look like the man who lost it all at monte carlo your fascination call out the dogs and miracles were released as singles in rapidfire succession in august september and november charting at and respectively this was quite a poor turnaround compared to only my dying machine had charted lower at numan blamed the singles poor chart placements on the total lack of radio play they had received in november a version of i still remember was released as a charity single with all proceeds going to the rspca numan wrote and sung new lyrics for this version changing the personal anguish theme of the original for a story of a dog mistreated by its owners and eventually dying at the end of the song despite the lack of successful singles the fury reached number in the uk albums chart higher than both berserker and the white noise live album released earlier the same year the fury remains the highestcharting album ever released by numa records and was the last of numan s albums to reach the uk top until october with the release of splinter reaching in the uk album charts numan supported tour in september and october no live albums or videos have been released officially from

franczukowska together with her brother and a group of people was ordered to go to a barn which was locked and set on fire she somehow managed to open the rear door and escape to a forest now they say they do not know who did it but it is enough to visit neighboring ukrainian villages one can still see remnants of the stolen property the locals remember this event and this is why none of them has

pidkamin and brody soviet forces took a couple of hundred soldiers of the ss galizien division prisoner all were immediately shot in the zbarazh castle on the in the killing of the polish inhabitants of huta pienacka and as a result could not be categorized as prisoners of war ukrainian account the actions at huta pienacka were researched by ukrainian historian vasyl veryha on the basis of polish german and soviet documents he was able to show that huta pienacka was one of the main centres for the polish home army armija krajowa and soviet partisan activities the selfdefense group of the village cooperated with the communist people s guard the th soviet partisan detachment named after chkalov and the special group of boris krutikov were based in the village according to veryha the village population with women and children at that time numbered approximately persons and the partisans made up another according to ukrainian accounts in addition to attacking german supply columns the partisans based in huta pienicka terrorized neighboring ukrainian villages raiding them furthermore according to ukrainian accounts many of the fires in the village were set by a occurred as a result of ammunition stored in the houses the grisly reports by alleged eyewitnesses about the deaths were described as difficult to believe by the institute of history of the ukrainian academy of sciences according to the chief of staff of the galizien division sturmbannfhrer wolf heike the local police command demanded that the galizien division take part in the operation requesting a regiment however because the division was still in the state of formation the commanderinchief fritz freitag refused to send a regiment only after the order was repeated one company and some small detachments were sent these were attached to the group commanded by colonel bayersdorf heike wrote that the untrained soldiers with inexperienced commanders were not suited to this task and that the group from the division as a nongerman section was blamed for things that the germans had done themselves they the division in the final result could not take the responsibility for the pacification of the village at that time a different german section was functioning on article appeared directed to the ukrainian youth written by the military commanders they blamed all the murders of poles and ukrainians on soviet partisans and stated that god forbid if among those who committed such inhuman acts a ukrainian hand was found it will be forever excluded from the ukrainian national community russian account the russian historical work regarding the massacre differs from those of the ukrainians and the poles russian historian sergei chuyev states that the village was indeed an outpost for polish and soviet partisans the head of the village selfdefense was lieutenant kazimierz wojciechowski who worked closely with the ak and the soviet partisans led by boris krutikov and dmitri medvedyev on arriving at the village intense shooting commenced the battle continued for some time before the village was taken chuyev states that ukrainian police took part in the punitive action and that one could assume that members of this police force included previous members of the upa according to heike the group sent from the ss galizien did not fulfill of the general from przemyl who had no idea how to command army divisions after four weeks of fighting around the area the group was returned to the division in neuhammer chuyev records that ss oberfhrer freitag stated that he would never allow the use of a battle group for such a command as it became understandable what methods were used by local police commanders covering themselves in the name of the reichsfhrerss as no direct order had been given by heinrich himmler to send a detachment from the division investigation the warsaw branch of the polish institute of national remembrance ipn started an investigation into the massacre in november the investigation was subsequently suspended between and and as of is being conducted by the krakw branch of the institute the institute of history of the ukrainian academy of sciences investigated the events at huta pienicka and concluded that the th and th ss police regiments did indeed kill the civilians within the village it noted that at the time of the massacre rather under german police command specifically under german sicherheitsdienst and ss command of the general government during this time these units enjoyed a close relationship with local upa units aftermath after the massacre some local ak commanders forbade polish strongholds from sheltering soviet partisans in order to minimize the risk of those selfdefence posts destruction pp in the late s some soldiers of the ss galizien division were allowed to come to britain allegedly including members of the unit that massacred inhabitants of huta pieniacka most of them were not questioned about their activities and successive british governments refused requests by lobby groups as well as american authorities to investigate their backgrounds however a television documentary the ss in britain initiated a police investigation after uncovering evidence suggesting that former members of the ss galizien division living in britain had participated in massacres in poland the documentary however made numerous factual mistakes the statement that the th and th regiments of the as the division had at that time been normalized to regiments there were no th or th regiments the division also was at that time still in the process of formation which was completed two months later in may near the polish town of dbica recent events on february a memorial was built on the site of the previous village but was soon destroyed a new monument commemorating the victims was erected in and unveiled on october during the unveiling the consul put the blame of the massacre on the ukrainians in his speech stating on february when the ss galizien together with other ukrainian nationalists did horrible things as told by a contemporary they shot mothers children and murdered ukraine sent a note of protest regarding the fact that the polish consul had ignored the ukrainian government completely when opening the monument that the new monument did not adhere to ukrainian laws and was erected without the necessary permits as a note of protest regarding the illegal erection of the monument was sent out and the polish consul was declared a persona nongrata for degrading the national dignity of the ukrainian people on february a new monument was unveiled to the poles who had been killed in the atrocities at huta peniacka a delegation from poland led by the vice consul of culture for the polish consulate in lviv marcin zieniewicz stated that the occasion marked one of the most tragic pages in the history of not only the polish people but also of the ukrainian people on february the presidents of ukraine and poland met at the monument to commemorate the massacre the village of huta pieniacka no longer exists most of the houses were burned during the massacre and only the school and a roman catholic church remained both of these buildings were demolished after the war and in the area of the village there is a pasture for cattle there is a post with a ukrainian inscription but

 neocatastrophism is the hypothesis that lifeexterminating events such as gammaray bursts have acted as a galactic regulation mechanism in the milky way upon the emergence of complex life in its habitable zone it is proposed as an explanation of fermi s paradox since it provides a mechanism which would have delayed the otherwise expected advent of intelligent beings in the local galaxy nearby to earth this is an avenue to explain why none so far have been detected by humans the problem it is estimated that earthlike planets in the milky way started forming gya bp and that their median age is gya moreover of stars in the galactic habitable zone are older than the sun this makes the existence of potential planets with evolved intelligent life more likely than not to be older than that of the earth gya this creates an observational dilemma since interstellar travel even of the slow kind that is nearly within the reach of present earth technology could in theory if to million years to colonize the galaxy this leads to a conundrum first posed in by the physicist enrico fermi in his namesake paradox why are no aliens or their artifacts physically here the neocatastrophism resolution astrobiological evolution is subject to regulation mechanisms that arrest or postpone the advent of complex creatures capable of interstellar communication and traveling technology these regulation mechanisms act to temporarily sterilize planets of biology in the galactic habitable zone the main proposed regulation mechanism is gammaray bursts part of the neocatastrophism hypothesis is that stellar evolution produces a decreasing frequency of such catastrophic events increasing the length of the window in which intelligent life might arise as galaxies age according to modeling this creates the possibility of a phase shift at which point a galaxy turns from a place that is essentially dead with a few pockets of simple life to one that is crowded with complex life forms

in the song he sings na sing prodigal is a pure ballad that uses guitar riffs and keyboards to back dreamy vocals wont stop is almost an alternative country in its sound it is a ballad compared to turin brakes classic the optimist lp replete with strings bells and harmonized vocals all we are is a ballad backed by keyboards and reminiscent of the fray in both sound and style someone to save you was considered a big song with big vocals and big sound kind of a ballad on steroids the sombre piano ballad come home offers a political stance on the war and an appeal to bring the troops home it is a tribute to american soldiers and was written by tedder about a soldier friend of his who was serving overseas the last track is a remixed version of apologize produced and featuring timbaland the timbaland remix has his trademark yeah grunts in the background and a slight resequencing of the drum patterns critical reception dreaming out loud received generally mixed reviews album out of stars and noted that the album still sounded derivative almost as if it were mimicking the popular trends that tedder helped create with his production gigs none of this made dreaming out loud a bad album

dreaming out loud is full of hopeful ballads and a couple of rock songs and reveals onerepublic s vocal and musical talents evan sawdey from popmatters wrote though greg wells highbudget production gives dreaming out loud a professional sheen the problems start and end with tedder his band his voice his lyricsthey ve all been heard before what s particularly disappointing is how his songs all just blend together in a strictly melodic sense rob sheffield from rolling stone commented on the which is a drag since the halfloud guitars and sobinthethroat vocals could be absolutely anybody nick levine from digital spy called it a fairly drab characterless affair chris jones from bbc music expressed it remains an album that will appeal to fans of the oc and those moments when the lovelorn antics of the cast demand some codexistentialism it may be pop but it s a long way from fun singles the first single to be lifted from the album was apologize both in its original form and a version

working on specific projects for specific booksellers in his twodecade career eld printed a wide variety of works when the printer is identified on title pages only with initials researchers have used eld s characteristic titlepage device two volutes with foliage for supporting evidence he is the g e who printed william camden s remains of a greater work for simon waterson john selden s the duello for john helme and peter gosselin s the state mysteries of the jesuits for nicholas bourne thorpe eld worked regularly for thomas thorpe the two produced more than twenty titles together these

charles duke of byron thorpe and eld were also involved in two dubious publishing enterprises one a failed attempt to print a work to which they did not have the rights and the other a successful piracy of some work by thomas coryat shakespeare thorpe and eld s most significant project was the first edition of shakespeare s sonnets in thorpe and eld also issued a work of modern shakespearean controversy the funeral elegy that donald foster proposed as a work by shakespeare without convincing most scholars and critics more shakespeare eld printed the quarto of troilus and cressida for richard bonian and henry walley some critics have complained that the text in this volume is so poor that it should be classed as a bad quarto and how much is due to a faulty manuscript source that eld had to work with is open to question eld s sejanus text in contrast is excellently printed eld has also been identified as the printer of john smethwick s third quarto of hamlet in literature others eld also printed the second quarto of marlowe s doctor faustus for john wright and for william aspley he printed one of the most controversial plays of the period eastward ho three editions eld

printers of his generation richard field is a good example eld also published work on his own authority he was active in drama here too eld printed and published both q and q of the revenger s tragedy and the play is now generally attributed to middleton also middleton s again the first two quartos both a printer who published usually had to arrange for a bookseller to sell the work in question the title page of q of a trick specifies that the book is to be sold by henry rocket yet when the third edition of a trick appeared in eld was no longer the publisher he merely printed the volume for bookseller thomas langley the puritan one of the plays of the shakespeare apocrypha was published by eld in another play now generally assigned to middleton eld attributed it to w s eld published northward ho by thomas dekker and john webster in eld published beyond the confines of jacobean drama as well with works like john healey s translation of the city of god by st augustine that volume

common in his era like bishop gervase babington s works containing comfortable notes on the five books of moses and inevitably eld published and printed many nowobscure works by forgotten authors the

 in computer systems an access token contains the security credentials for a login session and identifies the user the user s groups the user s privileges and in some cases a particular application overview an access token is an object encapsulating the security identity of a process or thread a token is used to make security decisions and to store tamperproof information about some system entity while a token is generally used to represent only security information it is capable of holding additional freeform data that can be attached while the token is being created tokens can be duplicated without special privilege for example to create a new token with lower levels of access rights to restrict the access of a launched application an access token is used by windows when a process or thread tries to interact with objects that have security descriptors securable objects an access token is represented by the system object of type code token code an user logs on to the system and the credentials provided by the user are authenticated against the authentication database the authentication database contains credential information required to construct the initial token for the logon session including its user id primary group id all other groups it is part of and other information the token is attached to the initial process created in the user session and inherited by subsequent processes created by the initial process whenever such a process opens a handle to any resource which has access control enabled windows reconciles the data in the target object s security descriptor with the contents of the current effective access token the result of this access check evaluation is an indication of whether any access is allowed and if so what operations read writemodify etc the calling application is allowed to perform types of tokens there are two types of tokens primary token primary tokens can only be associated to processes and they represent a process s security subject are both privileged operations requiring two different privileges in the name of privilege separation the typical scenario sees the authentication service creating the token and a logon service associating it to the user s operating system shell processes initially inherit a copy of the parent process s primary token impersonation token impersonation is a security concept implemented in windows nt that allows a server application to temporarily be the client in terms of access to secure objects impersonation has four possible levels anonymous giving the server the access of an anonymousunidentified user identification letting the server inspect the client s identity but not use that identity to access objects impersonation letting the server act on behalf of the client and delegation same as impersonation but extended to remote systems to which the server connects through the preservation of credentials the client can choose the maximum impersonation level if any available to the server as impersonation initially was not but historical carelessness in the implementation of client apis failing to restrict the default level to identification letting an unprivileged server impersonate an unwilling privileged client called for it impersonation tokens can only be associated to threads and they represent a client process s security subject impersonation tokens are usually created and associated to the current thread implicitly by ipc mechanisms such as dce rpc dde and named pipes contents of a token a token is composed of various fields including but not limited to an identifier the identifier of the associated logon session the session is maintained by the authentication service and is populated by the authentication packages with a collection of all the information credentials the user provided when logging in credentials are used to access remote systems without the need for the user to reauthenticate single signon provided that all the systems involved share an authentication authority eg a kerberos ticket server important and it s strictly readonly the identifiers of groups the user or more precisely the subject is part of group identifiers can not be deleted but they can be disabled at most one of the groups is designated as the session id a volatile group representing the logon session allowing access to volatile objects associated to the session such as the display the restricting group identifiers optional this additional set of groups does nt grant additional access but further restricts it access to an object is only allowed if it s allowed also to one of these groups restricting groups can not be deleted nor disabled restricting groups are a recent addition and they are used in the implementation of sandboxes the privileges ie special capabilities the user has most privileges are disabled by default to prevent damage from nonsecurityconscious programs

 a defence of poetry is an essay by the english poet percy bysshe shelley written in and first published posthumously in in essays letters from abroad translations and fragments by edward moxon in london it contains shelley s famous claim that poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world background the essay was written in response to his friend thomas love peacock s article the four ages of poetry which had been published in shelley wrote to the publishers charles and james ollier who were also his own publishers i am enchanted with your literary miscellany although the last article has excited my polemical faculties so violently that the moment i get rid of my ophthalmia i mean to set about an answer to it it is very clever but i think very false to peacock shelley wrote your anathemas against poetry itself excited me to a sacred rage i had the in honour of my mistress urania a defence of poetry was eventually published with some edits by john hunt posthumously by shelley s wife mary shelley in in essays letters from abroad translations and fragments editorial introductions shelley sought to show that poets make morality and established the legal norms in a civil society thus creating the groundwork for the other branches in a community in gateway to the great books volume critical essays robert m hutchins and mortimer j adler wrote in a defence of poetry shelley attempts to prove that poets are philosophers that they are the creators and protectors of moral and civil laws and that if it were not for poets scientists could not have developed either their theories or their inventions poets introduce and maintain morality the mores so created are codified into laws the social function or utility of poets is that they create and maintain the norms and writers david perkins wrote shelley was mainly concerned to explain the moral and thus the social function of poetry in doing so he produced one of the most penetrating general discussions on poetry that we have major themes shelleys argument for poetry in his critical essay is written within the context of romanticism in william stigant a poet essayist and translator wrote in his essay sir philip sidney that shelley s beautifully written defence of poetry is a work which analyses the very inner essence of poetry and the reason of its existence its development from and operation on the mind of man shelley writes in defence that while ethical science arranges the elements which poetry has created and leads to a moral civil life poetry acts in a way that awakens and enlarges the mind itself by rendering it the receptacle of a thousand unapprehended combinations of thought in a defence of language reveals a human impulse to reproduce the rhythmic and ordered so that harmony and unity are delighted in wherever they are found and incorporated instinctively into creative activities every man in the infancy of art observes an order which approximates more or less closely to that from which highest delight results this faculty of approximation enables the observer to experience the beautiful by establishing a relation between the highest pleasure and its causes those who possess this faculty in excess are poets and their task is to communicate the pleasure of their experiences to the community shelley does not claim language is poetry on the grounds that language is the medium of poetry rather he recognises in the creation of language an adherence to the poetic precepts of order harmony unity and a desire to express delight in the beautiful aesthetic admiration of the true and the beautiful is provided with an important social aspect which extends beyond communication and precipitates selfawareness poetry and the various modes of art it incorporates are directly involved with are not only the authors of language and of music of the dance and architecture and statuary and painting they are the institutors of laws and the founders of civil society social and linguistic order are not the sole products of the rational faculty as language is arbitrarily produced by the imagination and reveals the before unapprehended relations of things and perpetuates their apprehension of a higher beauty and truth shelley s conclusive remark that poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world suggests his awareness of the profound ambiguity inherent in linguistic means which he considers at once as an instrument of intellectual freedom and a vehicle for political and social subjugation

 prostitution in spain is not addressed by any specific law but a number of activities related to it such as pimping are illegal legal status prostitution prostitucin was decriminalised in prostitution itself is not directly addressed in the criminal code of spain but exploitation such as pimping is illegal the only article in the code dealing specifically with adult prostitution is artcle which bans pimping el que determine empleando violencia intimidacin o engao o abusando de una situacin de superioridad o de necesidad o vulnerabilidad de la vctima a persona mayor de edad a ejercer la prostitucin o a mantenerse en ella ser castigado con las penas de prisin de dos a cuatro aos y multa de a meses en la misma pena incurrir el que se lucre explotando la prostitucin de otra persona aun con el consentimiento de la misma owning an establishment where prostitution takes place is in itself legal but or hire a person to sell sex because prostitution is not considered a job and thus has no legal recognition local government local governments differ in their approaches to both indoor and outdoor prostitution usually in response to community pressure groups and based on public safety most places do not regulate prostitution but the government of catalonia offers licenses for persons to gather people to practice prostitution these licenses are used by brothel owners to open clubs where prostitution takes place the women are theoretically only gathered to work on the premises not employed by the owner some places have implemented fines for street prostitution politics history prostitution was tolerated in spain throughout the mediaeval period until the th century and the reign of phillip iv whose decree closed the mancebas brothels forcing the women out into the street a very unpopular decision but one that remained in place till the regulation was introduced firstly in cities the disposiciones de zaragoza and the reglamento para la represin de los excesos de la prostitucin en madrid followed by the penal code guerena in during the second republic prostitution was prohibited once the dictatorship was established this law was repealed spain became officially abolitionist on june when the convention for the suppression of the traffic in persons and of the exploitation of the prostitution of others united nations un convention for the suppression of the traffic in persons and of the exploitation of the prostitution of others was ratified by spain and the decree of january modified the penal code cdigo penal according to the convention in theory this policy in accordance with the convention regarded sex workers trabajadores advocated punishment of their exploiters rather than the workers themselves and refused to distinguish between voluntary and coerced sex work however there were inconsistencies as the prostitutes were in fact treated more like criminals under act of august on social menace and rehabilitation ley de peligrosidad y rehabilitacin social prostitutes were declared amongst those classes categorized as social evils and could be confined to special centres or forbidden to live in specified areas in practice however prostitution was quietly ignored and tolerated although democracy was restored in it was not till the penal code revisions of that this policy was revisited and most laws regarding prostitution were repealed with the exception of those governing minors and those with mental health problems this included the act further revisions in addressed trafficking as did the immigration act which followed other european precedents by offering asylum to trafficked victims if they collaborated valiente in at santa cruz de tenerife opinion remains deeply divided in spain over prostitution and law reform has been in a political impasse for a long time consequently it remains in rather a grey zone of unregulated but tolerated semilegality the standard debates exist as to whether it is work like any other work or exploitation of women as espoused by groups like malostratos meanwhile it thrives and has prompted headlines such as el nuevo burdel de europa the new brothel of europe public policy the key instruments in order of importance are the penal code cdigo penal and the immigration or aliens act ley de extranjera de espaa plans plan municipal de intervencin ante la prostitucin en el municipio santa cruz de tenerife migrant workers according to a tampep study of sex workers are migrants of all countries studied only italy had such a high percentage of migrant workers about of these were latin american see also laura oso however this is changing rapidly due to arrival of central european migrants mainly romania and bulgaria who now make up compared to from latin america there is also considerable crossborder traffic between spain and portugal and france equally some of spanish national workers have worked outside spain mainly from economic necessity this needs to be appreciated in the overall context of immigration to spain as in other countries in western europe there is concern over the presence of migrant workers on the streets and claims that many of them were coerced in the spanish government announced plans to aid women who had been trafficked organisations working with migrant women include proyecto esperanza and shelters such as ipsse instituto para la promocin de servicios especializados in to september was identificated prostitutes in inspections in burdels of asian prostitutes in barcelona the november of

 jonathan edward caldwell born march date of death unknown was a selftaught aeronautical engineer who designed a series of bizarre aircraft and started public companies in order to finance their construction none of these was ever successful and after his last known attempt in the later s he disappeared apparently to avoid securities fraud charges his name was later connected with mythical german flying saucers and he remains a fixture of the ufo genre to this day little of caldwell s early life is known and what has been documented was reconstructed from college records he appears to have been born in hensall ontario canada the fifth son and one of twelve children of william thomas caldwell ampndash and sarah alice chamberlain ampndash he emigrated to the united states in and attended oregon state college from to majoring in mechanical engineering in the s according to statements he made later in life the fundamentals of aerodynamics cyclogyro in february caldwell filed for a patent on a device he called the cyclogyro it consisted of an airplane fuselage with two paddlewheel like attachments in place of the wings the wheels were powered by an engine in the fuselage spun to power the upper portion of the attachments forward ampndash clockwise as seen looking left from the cockpit the wheels each featured four high aspect ratio airfoils which were able to rotate around their horizontal axis in order to change their pitch by changing the pitch continually through the entire rotation the lift of the airfoils could be tuned to produce thrust in any direction for instance to lift off vertically the airfoils were pitched to have a positive angle of attack only at the top of their rotation just generating lift only at that point in forward flight the angle at the top of the arc would be reduced to make the lift neutral but they would retain their positive angle even through the forward part of angle in this fashion the aircraft could be lifted in any direction with differential thrust between the two wings allowing yaw to be applied caldwell formed gravity aeroplane company in reno nevada caldwell was living in santa monica at the time and issued stock in their company stationary included an illustration showing the cyclogyro a version with four airfoils per wing attached on the fuselage end to a large disk and the outer end to a crosslike support ornithopter caldwell then turned to an even more bizarre aircraft design an ornithopter the wings were equipped with flexible fabric valves which were supposed to open on the upstroke and close on the downstroke allowing it to generate lift with no forward motion and thus provide vtol service like the cyclogyro caldwell now living in denver filed a patent on his new design in december which was finally granted as us in october in early he started another company in nevada to raise funds to develop it gray shares of stock at ten cents per share retaining a percent interest the funds were used to develop a humanpowered prototype by there was still no working prototype and caldwell moved to orangeburg new york and later to madison new jersey a january newsreel film shows the ornithopter being readied for a test this was apparently attempted without success by the otherwise unknown emile harrier additional funds were then raised by another stock issue in order to build a fullsized prototype at teterboro airport he also apparently restarted his cyclogyro work and an article appeared in one of the popular mechanicslike magazines showing the design equipped with a v engine mounted in an odd twinfuselage with the pilot and passengers below before the ornithopter prototype could be completed the new jersey assistant attorney general charged caldwell with fraud in september in his notes the attorney robert grossman noted that no one connected with the company possessed sufficient knowledge of aeronautics to build a practical ship caldwell of the ornithopter prototype until december as long as no more shares of stock were sold in that time grossman also noted that caldwell had begun work on yet another entirely new design using a disk wing in december there was still no prototype and caldwell moved the company to new york the new york attorney general started questioning the business almost immediately autogyro in caldwell moved again this time to washington dc in a filing with the maryland securities and exchange commission he described the company as working solely on a new type of autogyro which he referred to as a diskrotor plane the design consisted of a fairly conventional autogyro layout but the wing was disklike instead of the more traditional helicopterlike bladed assembly the disk had airfoils formed out of fabric on the inside of the rim and four small solid surfaces on the outside in forward motion the airstream blowing across the four small surfaces would spin the disk which would provide lift from the fabric airfoils be braked to stop it spinning and unbraked again for a nearvertical landing the advantage to this arrangement was that there was no theoretical limit on forward speed whereas a conventional autogyro can not be stopped in flight and has a limit when the speed of the rearward moving blade approaches the stall speed unlike his previous attempts the diskrotor aircraft was actually completed between and and was issued a caa experimental registration number nxy in late or early a test flight was attempted with the company mechanic at the controls willard driggers according to later claims see below driggers managed to get the aircraft airborne from the benning race track and in a panic cut power causing the aircraft to crashland damaging the landing gear although damage was minor caldwell had apparently already lost interest in the design and did not repair it another autogyro in caldwell shut down grey goose and swapped shares once again forming rotor planes his earlier autogyro but replaced the fuselage with a smaller disk in the center according to some accounts around the maryland securities commission also started examining caldwell who promptly disappeared abandoning the broken diskrotor and the partially completed rotorplane the usaf investigates in may officers of the us air force s project sign received a letter from a gray goose shareholder who explained that the company had been building aircraft similar to the flying saucers which were then a popular topic in the press this was during the ufo craze following kenneth arnold s reports of seeing ufo s over mount rainier and the roswell incident that followed the air force had canvassed for reports of flying saucers and the shareholder apparently felt that caldwell s diskrotor might explain them tracking down the leads the team accompanied by the maryland police visited an abandoned farm in glen burnie maryland outside baltimore where the damaged remains of caldwell s diskrotor aircraft were discovered they also tracked down driggers the team reported that the prototypes could not be responsible for the flying saucer reports that were being received from all around the country photographs of the broken diskrotor machine continue to appear in ufos books to this day they were often described as crashed flying saucers in earlier works claiming it was one more example of the usaf being in possession of such vehicles more recently they are normally connected with the claims that the nazis had built working flying saucers late in the war lumped together with other diskshaped aircraft like the avrocar arthur sack as and vought v in an effort to demonstrate that such aircraft were both possible and wellresearched personal life in caldwell married olive e davis caldwell emigrated to

 the miami dolphins season was the teams seventh season and third season in the national football league the dolphins are the only national football league team to win the super bowl with a perfect season the undefeated campaign was led by coach don shula and notable players bob griese earl morrall and larry csonka the dolphins went in the regular season and won all three postseason games including super bowl vii against the washington redskins to finish the team remains the only nfl team to complete an entire season undefeated and untied from the opening game through the super bowl or championship game in addition the dolphins continued their winning streak to straight games regular season and postseason before losing in the second week of the season during the season bob grieses ankle was broken in week as he was sacked by san diego chargers defensive tackle ron east and defensive end deacon jones he was replaced by veteran earl returned to the field as a substitute during

remaining undefeated nfl team loses its first game all the surviving members of the miami dolphins open bottles of champagne in celebration coach don shula tried to play down the myth by saying that two players dick anderson and nick buoniconti who live near each other sometimes have a toast together however in a college football broadcast on abc following the loss of an undefeated team bob griese after being asked by his colleague commented that he called former dolphins and they had diet cokes together that celebration comes with the connotation that they no longer drink alcoholic beverages but that a toast was customary the perfect season execute a perfect regular season in the postmerger nfl they are the only team in nfl history to go undefeated and untied in the regular season and postseason an enduring controversy is that the dolphins played a soft schedule not possible under the current scheduling formula prior to the implementation of position scheduling in

were this is not however a record the minnesota vikings who began and finished played fourteen opponents with an average winning percentage of and nine of their games were against teams or worse however the nfls rules at the time also forced the undefeated dolphins to play in pittsburgh for the afc championship game an obstacle subsequent rule changes ensured no team with a superior record

 this is a list of items from the bbc television series the sarah jane adventures b berserker pendant berserker pendants were talismans created by berserkers which gave the bearer the ability to order people to do as they wished a pendant would also slowly changed the person using it into a berserker each time it was used the pendant would slightly change the bearer both physically and mentally until the bearer desired to complete the transformation into a berserker during transformation the user develops prominent veins over the skin s surface the final form has the appearance of a man wearing animal skins the only cure if done early enough is to remind the affected person who they are so that the memories will reassert their identity according to unit archives a berserker pendant surfaced in a barracks in ealing in but was lost during a german bombing raid this same pendant was rediscovered by jacob who used it for a time until it frightened placed it in sarah jane smith s attic it was then discovered by paul langer who stole it and used it to take control of his son clyde mr langer was almost completely possessed by the power of the pendant until his wife and son reminded him of who he really was clyde then used to pendant to erase his mother s memories of the incident then disposed of it in the sea biodamper martin trueman had a biodamper to hide the fact that he had the ancient lights which was the reason for sarah jane not able to detect that he was alien which left her thinking he was human secrets of the stars the brigadier s walking stick the brigadier used a very special cane that was also a kind of gun he used it to shoot the unit personnel major kilburn who was actually bane and was going to consume him and rani bubbleshock a popular and addictive soft drink seen in invasion of the bane it was vital to each bottle of bubbleshock contained a piece of living bane secreted by the bane mother and was otherwise a mixture of fresh spring water and fruit juices according to davey when the bane mother reached out the bane inside was able to take control of the human host commanding noncontrolled humans to drink bubbleshock after the bane factory was destroyed by luke smith killing the bane mother the mind control ceased c compressor a device worn by the slitheen around their necks to generate a compression field which shrinks them down allowing them to fit into skinsuits in revenge of the slitheen as in doctor who it is only capable of letting them fit into the skins of large people and the resulting gas exchange results in something unto flatulence by the time of the lost boy however both these problems have been fixed allowing them to pass for much smaller humans natural form of the xylok owing to a spaceship crash the entire xylok race has been trapped under the earth s crust for most of the planet s existence it is capable of interfacing with earth computers and eventually gives sarah jane the instructions to build mr smith e entanglement shells seen in warriors of kudlak entanglement shells are generated by teleportation from kudlak s teleportation of children from the combat lasertag game g graske gun seen in whatever happened to sarah jane the gun is capable of tagging a graske victim and teleporting them alongside the graske to limbo although the victim is capable of breaking free once the person has been placed in limbo firing the gun will free them graske teleporter another of the graske s devices the teleporter is attached to their clothing and will transport them as well as anyone tagged at the time it is capable of mobile phone portable telephones used in the st century sarah jane and her companions own mobile phones however as a repeating theme of their adventures their phones either get taken away and never found or are simply destroyed in the man that never was luke explains to sky when their phones are destroyed that he s had seven phones in the last four years meteorite seen in the day of the clown the inhabitant energies of this meteorite could manifest a physical form from emotions the entity featured in the episode created its form from fear and manifested as the pied piper of hamelin and later as mr spellman and oddbob the clown the meteorite was present at the pharos insituite were sarah jane smith was able but did nt ask to cut a piece off with her sonic lipstick p portal a large stone basin seen in st agnes nunnery in eye of the gorgon it requires the talisman serves as a link between the gorgon homeworld and earth s scanner watch one of the tenth doctor s parting gifts to sarah jane the scanner watch appears as a normal watch but has a liftup top showing a scanner screen that allows it to scan for alien life this is seen to work in two ways in invasion of the bane firstly she can scan anyone to identify their species and secondly it automatically acts as a geiger counter of sorts making an increasingly louder noise as it gets closer to alien sources in revenge of the slitheen it is apparently capable of connecting to the local power grid and sarah jane states that it never loses power like a geiger counter it made louder noises as it got closer to an alien source in secrets of the stars zodiac reader martin trueman wore a biodamper and when sarah jane tried to detect if he was alien she was unable to alien skinsuit as seen in revenge of the slitheen and later the lost boy it is a suit made from the slitheens murdered and skinned victims allowing them to pose as humans initially only large people can be used as disguises

human disguise of janine wears a necklace in revenge of the slitheen although only the official website identifies it as a teleport the slitheen in the lost boy also have a teleport whereas the slitheen posing as margaret blaine in the doctor who episodes aliens of london world war three and boom town had a teleport that was in three separate pieces which had to be connected to work and could not have can have coordinates fed in sonic lipstick another of the tenth doctor s gifts to sarah jane the sonic lipstick is essentially a sonic screwdriver disguised as a lipstick although the official site states that it is useless in this regard the sonic lipstick looked like a normal lipstick on the outside the lid came off and it twisted to reveal the emitter when in use the sonic lipstick generated a pinkishred light and produced several sounds its primary function in the series has been to unlock doors although like the sonic screwdriver it can not unlock deadlock seals she uses this device in journey s end as well although there were known to be two distinct sonic lipsticks carried by sarah jane the two units coexisted for an unknown length of time as a result of this coexistence it is unknown which particular unit was used in any given occurrence prior to the destruction of the one spray canister a canister containing a special spray seen in invasion of the it down a small flight of stairs into a wall and forces it to reassert its human disguise in the process however sarah jane uses up her last canister of the spray the escaping bane leaves behind a small pool of a sticky black substance it is unclear if this is related to the spray s effects or not summoning device a communicator used to signal across planets given to sarah jane by a star poet from arcateen she helped get home it is stated to be more or less a mobile phone only many times more powerful luke smith eventually uses the device to badly shock the bane mother which results in the destruction of the bane factory t talisman seen in eye of the gorgon the talisman fell into the possession of bea nelsonstanley after her husband was killed she gave it to luke smith the talisman was

 a breaker is a piece of reef against which waves break this sense of the term is closely related to another sense that of the breaking wave itself in times past when ocean navigation was relatively rudimentary a line of breaking waves was a crucial indicator that a boat was bearing down upon an island or reef this was especially the case when sailing in darkness in which the highly visible line of froth caused by breaking waves could be the only such indicator in such cases the line of breakers was charted and named as a breaker

 in automotive design an m or midengine fourwheeldrive layout places the internal combustion engine in the middle of the vehicle between both axles and drives all four road wheels it is a type of car powertrain layout although the term midengine can mean the engine is placed anywhere in the car such that the centre of gravity of the engine lies between the front and rear axles it is usually used for sports cars and racing cars where the engine is behind the passenger compartment the motive output is then sent down a shaft to a differential in the centre of the car which in the case of an m layout distributes power to both front and rear axles the centre differential contained within many wheel drive cars is similar to the conventional differential in a wheel drive car it allows torque to be distributed to both drive axles whilst allowing them to spin at different speeds which vastly improves the cornering of a wheel drive car on surfaces with high grip the drive axles which are configured to provide torque equally to both wheels the centre differential is usually set to have a bias to one set of drive wheels or the other depending on application of the car some wheel drive cars use a centre viscous coupling unit that will provide most power to the rear wheels unless the amount of torque being supplied to the rear wheels is in excess of the traction limits of the rear tyres such as in a lamborghini murcilago others contain a computer that will decide how much power to distribute to any wheel at any time depending on the circumstances of each wheel in general the m system is not widely used as it is suited toward sports cars and some offroad racing vehicles benefits the engine is usually where the weight of a car is most concentrated so placing it between the front and rear axles gives a car a much better handling balance assuming the engine is behind the passenger compartment the engine will also be pushing down on the shifted toward the rear under acceleration in all cars as a rule this further improves the amount of grip on the rear wheels increasing the amount of torque that can be supplied to the rear wheels before wheelspin occurs because the engine is not in the front the car can be designed with a minimum amount of frontal area perpendicular to the wind greatly increasing aerodynamic efficiency a computercontrolled fourwheeldrive differential system allows a car to both accelerate and corner more quickly since it can vary the amount of torque going to the front and rear wheels and therefore vary how much the car behaves like a front or rearwheeldrive car this means that through a fast corner the car is able to display more neutral handling with less oversteer or understeer this is a much more efficient means of turning and allows for faster cornering speeds as opposed to a twowheel or conventional fourwheeldrive system drawbacks such a system is very difficult and expensive to design and engineer which is why it is only usually most midengine cars because of the size and position of the engine and transmission compromise heavily on both passenger and boottrunk space fourwheeldrive systems tend to be quite heavy and some of the engine s power can be lost through the various differentials in the car in addition to the frictional losses of the powertrain the variable handling characteristics of a fourwheeldrive car mean that when travelling round a corner at high speeds the car may enter the corner and understeer and then halfway through the corner suddenly start to oversteer

 ultrasound energy ultrasound energy simply known as ultrasound is a type of mechanical energy called sound characterized by vibrating or moving particles within a medium ultrasound is distinguished by vibrations with a frequency greater than hz compared to audible sounds that humans typically hear with frequencies between and hz ultrasound energy requires matter or a medium with particles to vibrate to conduct or propagate its energy the energy generally travels through most mediums in the form of a wave in which particles are deformed or displaced by the energy then reestablished after the energy passes types of waves include shear surface and longitudinal waves with the latter being one of the most common used in biological applications the characteristics of the traveling ultrasound energy greatly depend on the medium that it is traveling through while ultrasound waves propagate through a medium the amplitude of the wave is continually reduced or weakened with the distance it travels this is known as attenuation and is due to the scattering or deflecting of some of the energy to heat energy within the medium a medium that changes the mechanical energy from the vibrations of the ultrasound energy into thermal or heat energy is called viscoelastic the properties of ultrasound waves traveling through the medium of biological tissues has been extensively studied in recent years and implemented into many important medical tools common medical applications of ultrasound energy diagnostic imaging as stated above properties of ultrasound energy traveling through biological tissues has been extensively studied in recent years the attenuation due to scattering of energy in different tissues can be measured by a device called a transducer recorded information from transducers such as the relationship to the site of origin and intensity of the signal can then be put together to form images of what lies inside the target tissues higher frequency ultrasound waves generally produce higher resolution images but attenuation also increases as frequency increases which restricts imaging depth consequently the best frequency has been determined for each type of diagnostic test and body tissue some of the more and doppler techniques these test produce images ranging from onedimensional images to moving realtime two dimensional images that can often be seen immediately on a screen the advent of ultrasound technology has completely changed the medical diagnostic field due to its noninvasive characteristic medical professionals can now observe tissues within the body without having to physically enter the body this reduces the amount of invasive and risky diagnostic procedures and increases the chances of a correct diagnosis some common medical imaging procedures include sonogram ultrasound images of an unborn fetus are used to check for proper development and other characteristics tumorcancer diagnosis images can be used to examine suspicious masses found inside the body and determine if other treatment is necessary blood flow images can be used to examine the flow of blood through specific vessels and examine if there is any blockage or abnormalities internal organs images can be used to look at the physical shape and movements of internal organs to insure they are working properly oncology treatment one characteristic of ultrasound previously discussed is that of of mechanical wave energy to thermal energy researchers and doctors have made medical applications to harness this heat conversion and use it in successful medical procedures ultrasound energy is a form of therapy being studied as an anticancer treatment intensified ultrasound energy can be directed at cancer cells to heat them and kill them recent testing has shown that ultrasound can increase the effectiveness of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy this procedure is known as heat or hyperthermia therapy by using the converted heat energy that ultrasound provides specific diseased tissues can be heated often to temperatures around to c this increase in temperature has been linked to improved effectiveness of cancer treatment due to dilation of blood vessels and increased oxygen presence in affected tissues another new treatment called hifu high intensity focused ultrasound takes advantage of the thermal energy characteristics of ultrasound hifu uses an ultrasound device that is able to precisely focus ultrasound waves at a target tissue or specific group of cells at the focus of this ultrasound energy nearly spontaneous coagulative necrosis or cell death without harming neighboring cells this treatment greatly expands the ability of doctors to be able to destroy cancer cells noninvasively currently many test are being carried out to determine the effectiveness of the treatment on different tissues but testing has already shown promising results in the field of prostate

 genre action strategy airheart is a video game for the apple ii it was designed and programmed by dan gorlin and published by brderbund it requires an apple iie enhanced or later to run as it uses double hires graphics development gorlin had great success with his first title choplifter which he developed in about six months this title however took about three years to develop this is in large part because he also developed other games which he lost interest in and never completed and also because he did a lot of research and built a number of tools to help in game development gorlin was unable to include all the features he planned at one point for example he had tunnel and underwater levels working but was unable to complete them due to time constraints tunnels and islands in fact were key elements of his original vision for the game but had gorlin and his team created the largest version of each sprite by hand and then used proprietary tools to create the about twenty smaller versions of the sprite storing these sprites in ram they were able to simulate scaling in realtime though the sprites used a lot of memory it was the only method that satisfied gorlin since he hated the lowpolygon look of other contemporary games gameplay the name airheart is the title the player aspires to earn the user controls a jetpropelled flotation device they must navigate their craft and fight robotic defenders spirit guardians instruct the player to collect certain items such as a sword or a goblet gathering the items is a precursor to a final battle to free an infant boy prince legacy airheart was a precursor to gorlin s later game typhoon thompson in search for the sea child for bit computers which is closer to what he originally envisioned for this game

 epipubic bones are a pair of bones projecting forward from the pelvic bones of modern marsupials and of some fossil mammals multituberculates monotremes and even basal eutherians the ancestors of placental mammals in modern marsupials the epipubic bones are often called marsupial bones because they support the mother s pouch marsupium is latin for pouch but their presence on other groups of mammals indicates that this was not their original function which some researchers think was to assist locomotion by supporting some of the muscles that flex the thigh the epipubic bones were first described in but their functions have remained unresolved it has been suggested that they form part of a kinetic linkage stretching from the femur on one side to the ribs on the opposite side this linkage is formed by a series of muscles each epipubic bone is connected to the femur by the pectineus muscle and to the ribs and vertebrae by the pyramidalis rectus abdominis and external and internal obliques levers to stiffen the trunk during locomotion see also evolution of mammals obturator process proximodorsal process

 goscelin of saintbertin or goscelin of canterbury was a benedictine hagiographical writer his date of birth is unknown but it can not have been later than the early s he was a fleming or brabantian by birth and became a monk of st bertin s at saintomer before travelling to england to take up a position in the household of herman bishop of ramsbury during his time in england he stayed at many monasteries and wherever he went collected materials for his numerous hagiographies of english saints life flanders according to william of malmesbury goscelin was a monk of st bertin s on the other hand as the author of the vita amalbergae virginis written before goscelin appears to be very well informed about the hagiographic tradition in flanders and brabant more especially traditions related to saint peter s abbey of ghent he probably stayed there at some time before england according to william of malmesbury who arrived in but william of malmesbury mistakenly claims that this was the year in which herman became bishop of sherborne an appointment he did not take up until the death of sherborne s resident bishop aelfwold in it is doubtful therefore that his information about goscelin s arrival is reliable in fact goscelin states himself in his liber confortatorius that he first came to the bishop at potterne or canning in wiltshire implying that he did not travel to england in his company but joined him there instead it used to be thought that he arrived before the norman conquest but there is no evidence for this supposition although it is possible goscelin s patron and companion was herman bishop of sherborne he functioned as secretary to the bishop and as chaplain to the nuns of wilton abbey his fortunes took a turn for the worse when bishop herman died in and was succeeded by osmund of ses describes as a king who knew not joseph in the early s he was at peterborough later he wrote hagiography for the monastic communities of ely barking ramsey and st augustine s canterbury among other places writing william of malmesbury praises his industry in the highest terms he was at ely about where he wrote a life of st thelthryth between and he was at ramsey and compiled there a life of the abbot st ivo or ives in the s he went to canterbury where he wrote his account of the translation of the relics of st augustine and his companions which had taken place in he wrote it in the octave year after that event ie in and dedicated the work to st anselm a canterbury obituary quoted by henry wharton in anglia sacra gives may as the day of death of a certain goscelin who may have been this was still alive in when he wrote an account of the translation of st wihtburh of ely his works consist of the lives of many english saints chiefly of those connected with canterbury where he spent his last years some of them have been printed by the bollandists by jean mabillon and by jacquespaul migne others are contained in manuscripts in the british museum and at cambridge his chief work was a life of st augustine of canterbury professing to be based on older records and divided into two parts an historia major mabillon acta sactorum osb i and an historia minor in wharton anglia sacra i his method seems to have been usually to take some older writer as his basis and to reproduce his work in his own style the liber confortatorius dedicated to eve of wilton a former pupil who went to angers to live as a recluse is in her new vocation and conveying goscelin s feelings about her sudden departure according to william of malmesbury goscelin was

 tracklength el no elevation the holmestrandvittingfoss line or hvb is an abandoned railway between holmestrand to hvittingfoss in norway it consisted of two sections a km line from holmestrand to hillestad and a km section from hof to hvittingfoss the two parts were connected by a km section of the tnsbergeidsfoss line at holmestrand station the line connected to the vestfold line of the norwegian state railways hvb was opened on september and closed on june the main purpose of the line was the transport of wood pulp at hvittingfoss although it was also used for passenger transport until route the narrow gauge railway executed a steep climb from holmestrand to hvittingfoss it had a maximum gradient of percent a minimum curve radius of and a track weight of kgm at holmestrand the line followed a zigzap pattern up the hill forcing the trains to back into holmestand station located up from holmestrand is a the only line is km there it runs concurrently with the tnsbergeidsfoss line for km before splitting again at hof and running km to hvittingfoss in holmestrand there was a spur to nordisk aluminium which remained in use as a branch of the vestfold line until in holmestrand the locomotive shed is still in use although urban growth has removed all other remains of the line the rightofway out of town is used as a suburban street the tunnel has fallen into disuse but from there the rightofway is used as a trail towards hillestad the railway ran in agricultural land which has been reclaimed the last few kilometers towards hillestad the route is used as a forestry road from hof the rightofway is gone but along the last section down to hvittingfoss the rightofway remains as a forestry road the station and freight house have been preserved history planning proposals for a vestfold line arose in the late s and accelerated through the should run with three major proposals along the shore of the oslofjord along eikeren to eidsfoss and through an inland route to tnsberg and via lgendalen to larvik the eidsfoss alternative allowed the line to run through an area with good access to lumber which the railway would aid export the main disadvantage was that the route was km longer than via the coast other minor plans included a svarstad line which would have run from horten via skoppum and svarstad to hvittingfoss it was mostly seen as a supplement to the lgendal line should it have been built the issue was not resolved until parliament on june voted in favor of a coastal route the narrow gauge vestfold line at the time named the jarlsberg line opened in engineer c f melby proposed during the s that the svarstad line be built it was proposed to branch from the vestfold line at skoppum station the same station the horten line branches from it was proposed as a minor it being designed with sharp curves and steep gradients the basis at skoppum allowed the shortest distance to a coastal station the line was proposed run along undrumsdal fosaas through fossan firing holt sjuve vivestad and vasss before reaching svarstad it would then have run north through lgendalen to hvittingfoss this gave a not too complicated construction allowing costs to be low the line received support in horten and with a single decisive vote the municipal council voted in favor of a nok grant of the total nok million in estimated construction cots however it met little support in other political bodies and was soon scrapped instead a shorter line from holmestrand to hvittingfoss was favored the main incentive to build a railway was caused by vittingfoss brug the pulp mill had been established by andrers olai handeborg in although located in a good location in relation to power and access to lumber its interior location made transport of the pulp difficult it bought a steam tractor difficult to use and it was soon abandoned the company therefore started arguing that it needed a railway handeborg lost omost of his fortune in the stock market crash of and the mill was taken over by the banks in they sold it to the british publisher edward lloyd and the company took the name vittingfoss bruk demands for a railway to hvittingfoss came as a response to the planning of the tnsbergeidsfoss line from the point of view of interests from holmestrand they were worried that the town would lose its surrounding area to tnsberg and hence its basis for trade a committee was created consisting of birch n g berg and chr bettum they concluded that they railway should be built as cheap as possible and proposed that millimeter ft in gauge be used this would cause a break of gauge in holmestrand but the committee argued that nearly all traffic would be transferred to boats at holmestrand so this would not incur much costs hvittingfoss shares forth nok if this was chosen the committee further proposed shortening the line by building part of it as a rack railway allowing for steeper gradients construction the railway was approved by parliament on july at the same time as the tnsbergeidsfoss line the original budget was nok the line was to be built and operated as a private railway construction of the tnsbergeidsfoss line commenced in and this line was built with the same as the vestfold line because hvb desired to have the same gauge as teb to allow for a concurrency hvb s gauge was therefore changed to gauge the alternative was to build the section with dual gauge the issue resulted in disagreements between the parties but in the end the pulp mill agreed to maintain their financing despite the gauge change a proposal to electrify the railway was proposed but the nok cost was not found to pay off and therefore scrapped the line was surveyed twice with the latter alternatives could be chosen along the common section with teb with a line via stbygden being discarded in favor of one north of hillestadvannet there was during the late planning stages a proposal to increase the minimum curve radius from to m but this was discarded after the government would not allocate the additional necessary funding one of the major delays during construction was the innlofjellet tunnel which suffered several landslides one which partially flooded the town five alternatives were proposed in holmestrand which variously included sharing nsb s holmestrand station or building a separate station the municipal council supported on november an alternative with a separate station at the towns square with a branch via gausen to nsb s station estimated to cost nok this was the cheapest alternative nsb opposed this stating that it could cause operational problems for them at holmestrand station but gave permission for the connection line on august laying of the permanent way started on september the construction cost ended at the rest was paid for by municipalities and private individuals and companies with the increase to gauge a further nok was granted on march the state increased its investments twice more as costs continued to increase based on decisions in parliament for a raise of nok on may and a raise of nok on may these increased fundings were met with equal increased local funding a fatal accident occurred on october when the final inspection was being carried out the inspector had not been informed of an extra maintenance of way train and he was run down while on the tracks the official opening took place the following day on october early operational history hvb and teb signed an agreement concerning the operation of the concurrent section teb was given the operational responsibility although both railways were free to use it all transshipment was to take place at hillestad station both companies retained their revenue while hvb compensated teb included that the two lines would share a sixth of teb s administration costs based jointly on the number of trains and the revenue from the concurrent section any upgrades to the section would be split between the two companies operational costs were split based on the ration of the number of trains and the number of axles if the two companies could not agree on the calculation nsb s district chief in drammen would arbitrate hvb bought t is first two steam locomotives from krauss amp co of germany they were numbered and and named holmestrand and vittingfoss the company also bought three twoaxle passenger cars and twentyfour freight cars in holmestrand was sold to teb because they had problems with their locomotives the railway bought three passenger carriages one which also had a second class compartment although it had a standard almost comparable to nsb s first class it saw little use and nearly all passengers traveled in the interior on the one hand it provided a fast and efficient way to reach the coastal towns but many farmers lost and important supplementary income after they were no longer needed to perform transport services for vittingfoss bruk the first full operation year in resulted in passengers and a profit of nok the following year ridership increased dramatically to also freight increased from to tonnes this caused additional rolling stock to be procured new freight cars were built at eidsfoss verk and a new locomotive was built by thune delivered in october it was also named holmestrand and was identical to a class being built for the lier line thune delivered the railway s fourth locomotive in by then the railway had freight cars the company had a profit of nok in transshipment between hvb and nsb initially cost hvb nok per car the track arrangement from gausen to holmestrand station caused operational difficulties for the new section also served nordisk aluminium in hvb transshipped tonnes of express cargo and tonnes of regular cargo to nsb hvb s cars drove a combined km spus on nsb lines the annual amounts varied with the express cargo following to tonnes and regular cargo tonnes by then traffic rose reaching and tonnes respectively in a peak cargo of tonnes was transported in although hvb was profitable teb failed after the initial years to make money on its operation there therefore arose a proposal for hvb to take over all operations north of hillestad and relegate the southern part of teb to a suburban line for tnsberg the proposal came from the hvb s board who saw the possibility of using existing crew and rolling stock to operate trains from eidsfoss to holmestrand it would have increased the number of daily services from hillestad to holmestrand from two to four the proposals was rejected by the municipal councils in tnsberg teb the passenger transport from hvittingfoss increased until the s when it stabilized at about passengers per year before peaking at in however high coal prices drew up operating costs even though the railway in part started using wood as fuel the company had a deficit of nok in the next two years the ridership fell by a third while the company s costs for fuel increased to nok to nok the company went with a loss until when traffic started increasing again the highest profit of nok was recorded in the following year hasestad station burned down in a fire and the wharfs in holmestrand collapsed because it could not support the amount of pulp being stored there freight traffic continued to fall in the following years patronage until the late s when between and passengers per year were transported a bus service through lgendalen started in providing services from vittingfoss to kongsberg and larvik in part as a compensation for the valley not receiving a railway the responsibility was given to nsb who s bus division started a route from larvik via svarstad to kongsberg the main challenge was finding a suitable vehicle to operate the service during winter the service included one daily route to vittingfoss which corresponded with the train the route was not favorable for the railway company the bus service gave little new traffic to the railway while the railway fed considerable traffic to the bus service although few passengers transferred between the two termination of passenger services all services on the line were mix trains which resulted in long stops at station to load and unload cargo trains would be delayed causing passengers to instead ride with unscheduled buses hvb cosidered buying a railcar and borrowed one from nsb but found it was not powerful enough to get up the steep gradients instead the company bought a bus in which was to operate a single daily round service deficit was increasing the state guaranteed for nok but demanded that the remaining loss be covered by the municipalities costs were proposed cut by closing the workshop in holmestrand hvb attempted to secure a deal with nsb in which the latter would effectively subsidize the maintenance but this was rejected by nsb the result was that a few jobs were cut in holmestrand and maintenance continued as before additional cost savings were carried out by reducing maintenance of the track to a bare minimum hvb experienced a sharp increase of ridership to in just to see it fall down to the following year and to in hvb attempted to increase their traffic by reducing their fares both for passengers and freight the company also experienced that many shippers overloaded the cars in addition to the loss of revenue if the car was to continue with nsb it was often required to be transshipped at the cost of hvb this was particularly a problem with lumber an easy not resolved until it was discovered that a correctly loaded car would just allow a match box to fit between the car s frame and bogie spring the company therefore announced on january that it intended to terminate all passenger trains from march this would give cost savings of nok as all employees who worked with expedition of passengers could be laid off reducing the number of employees at intermediate stations from thirty to seven the company would expand its bus service which it expected to make a profit from the trains could be optimized for freight timetables giving additional cost savings the bus was not delivered until september postponing the termination of passenger operations to september the company was able to make a profit of nok in the closing of the passenger train service received mixed reactions on the one hand it was possible to reach holmestrand up to an hour earlier but on the other hand the ride was much less comfortable this was in part caused shorter than the railway as it could allow for steeper climbs from vittingfoss bruk started a harder line in their negotiations with the railway they contracted part of the pulp freighting to truck drivers and demanded discounts from the railway company this caused hvb to make a nok loss that year the following year vittingfoss bruk stopped sending any cargo with hvb which had a dramatic effect on hvb the company s board started intense negotiations to find new sources of revenue or areas to cut costs and proposed both closing down the line and a merger with teb merger and closing nsb carried out a survey to look into the future of hvb and teb the report recommended that borth the branch from eidsfoss and hvittingfoss run to holmestrand and that the section from hillestad to tnsberg by then hvittingfoss bruk had been bought by tnsberg municipality and to retain the transshipment jobs at the town s port the municipal council insisted on that the pulp mill send its pulp to tnsberg this was met with resistance in holmestrand as an estimated people would lose their jobs and viking melk would possibly have to close down to rationalize operations hvb and teb were merged on august through the creation of a new railway company vestfold privatbaner holmestrand protested against the head office being located in tnsberg and decided to not buy shares in the company this further relegated their influence over the line and operations vestfold privatbaner had a troubled economy as vittingfoss bruk repeatedly shut down production the railway company s director thus in started the process of closing the segment from hillestad to holmestrand and from only irregular trains ran on the segment a youth fair resulted in a several charter trains being run on june the final revenue train was a series of halfcompleted freight trains which were being built by eidsfoss verk because of the uncertain future of the line they decided to transfer production to sundland in drammen and the unfinished cars were sent via hvb with the intension of establishing a heritage railway it first attempted to establish itself at kopstad station but instead settled for kleppen station it was at the time intact with a full inventory including such items as a complete storage of unused tickets several of the railway carriages were identified most of them used as cabins one person offered to donate two carriages with original interior and coloring but after a building permit was rejected he instead chose to burn them down a representative traveled to sweden where he was able to purchase narrowgauge rolling stock clearing of the line at hillestad started in may and station building at kleppen was attempted transported up to hillestad however the truck carrying the building had an accident and the building was smashed the heritage enthusiasm died out

 the battle of opis fought in september bc was a major engagement between the armies of persia under cyrus the great and the neobabylonian empire under nabonidus during the persian invasion of mesopotamia at the time babylonia was the last major power in western asia that was not yet under persian control the battle was fought in or near the strategic riverside city of opis north of the capital babylon it resulted in a decisive defeat for the babylonians a few days later the city of sippar surrendered to the persians and cyrus s forces entered babylon apparently without a fight cyrus was subsequently proclaimed king of babylonia and its subject territories thus ending the independence of babylon and incorporating the babylonian empire into the greater persian empire location the site of the battle was at the city of opis on the river tigris located about miles km north of modern baghdad the city is thought to have been a preferred point to cross the river invasion may have been determined by the ebb of the mesopotamian rivers which are at their lowest levels and therefore are easiest to cross in the early autumn opis was a place of considerable strategic importance apart from the river crossing it was at one end of the median wall a fortified defensive barrier north of babylon that had been built several decades earlier by nebuchadnezzar ii control of opis would have enabled cyrus to break through the median wall and open the road to the capital sources the main contemporary source of information on cyrus s mesopotamian campaign of bc is the nabonidus chronicle one of a series of clay tablets collectively known as the babylonian chronicles that record the history of ancient babylonia some additional detail is provided by one of the few documents to have survived from cyrus s lifetime the cyrus cylinder further information on cyrus s campaign is provided by the later ancient greek writers herodotus and xenophon though neither mention the battle at opis and their accounts of most scholars prefer to use the nabonidus chronicle as the main source on the battle as it is a contemporaneous source although much of the nabonidus chronicle is fragmentary the section relating to the last year of nabonidus s reign bc is mostly intact it provides very little information about cyrus s activities in the years immediately preceding the battle the chronicler focuses on events of immediate relevance to babylonia and its rulers only occasionally records events outside babylonia and does not provide much detail other than a bare outline of key incidents there is almost no information for the period most of the chronicle s text for this period is illegible making it impossible to assess the significance of the few words that can be read background at the time of the battle of opis persia was the leading power in the near east its power had grown enormously under its king cyrus ii who had conquered a huge swathe of territory to create an empire that covered an azerbaijan iran kyrgyzstan and afghanistan the only remaining significant unconquered power in the near east was the neobabylonian empire which controlled mesopotamia and subject kingdoms such as syria judea phoenicia and parts of arabia it had been closely linked with cyrus s enemies elsewhere the empire was previously an ally of croesus of lydia whose kingdom was overrun by the persians a few years prior to the invasion of babylonia by the time of the battle babylonia was in an unpromising geopolitical situation the persian empire bordered it to the north east and west it had also been suffering severe economic problems exacerbated by plague and famine and its king nabonidus was said to be unpopular among many of his subjects for his unconventional religious policies according to mary joan winn leith cyrus s success is credited to military acumen to judicious bribery and to an energetic publicity campaign waged throughout babylonia which portrayed him as a lenient and religiously tolerant overlord on the other hand max mallowan rule and there is no question that cyrus himself was a liberalminded promoter of this humane and intelligent policy and such a publicity campaign was in effect a means of permitting his reputation to proceed his military campaign cyrus was said to have persuaded a babylonian provincial governor named gobryas and a supposed gadates to defect to his side gutium the territory governed by gobryas was a frontier region of considerable size and strategic importance which cyrus was said to have used as the starting point for his invasion the nabonidus chronicle records that prior to the battle nabonidus had ordered cult statues from outlying babylonian cities to be brought into the capital suggesting that the conflict had begun possibly in the winter of bc in a fragmentary section of the chronicle which is presumed to cover bc there is a possible reference to fighting a mention of ishtar and uruk and a possible reference to persia the battle of opis was thus probably only the final stage in an ongoing series of the nabonidus chronicle records that the battle took place in the month of tashritu september october at opis on the bank of the tigris very little is known about the events of the battle the chronicle does not provide any details of the battle s course the disposition of the forces on either side or the casualties inflicted the persian army under cyrus fought the army of akkad meaning the babylonians in general not the city of that name the identity of the babylonian commander is not recorded in the chronicle but it has traditionally been assumed that belshazzar the son of nabonidus was in command his fate is unclear and he may have been killed in the battle the outcome of the battle was clearly a babylonian defeat possibly a rout as the defeated babylonian army is not mentioned again in the chronicle following the battle the persian forces took plunder from the defeated babylonians most translations of the chronicle also refer to a massacre of the people of akkad was killed the population of opis or the retreating babylonian army pierre briant comments this victory was followed by an immense haul of booty and the massacre of those who attempted to resist andrew robert burn comments indeed on one reading of the text akkad broke out into open revolt and nabonidus last military achievement was slaughter of rebels maria brosius interprets the massacre as a punitive action making an example of a city trying to resist the persian army cuyler young comments on the chronicle accounts this reference in the chronicle suggests that the persians captured intact the main camp of nabonidus army and that as is so often the case the real killing of the engagement came after the babylonians had fallen prey to fear and panic and had retreated from the field amlie kuhrt comments that the references to a massacre and looting suggest that the battle was probably a hardwon victory w g lambert argues a contrarian view that there was no massacre or slaughter at all the battle which portrays cyrus as liberating babylon peacefully and with the consent of its people however the battle demonstrates that the existing babylonian regime actively resisted cyrus s invasion of mesopotamia aftermath the defeat at opis appears to have ended any serious resistance to the persian invasion the nabonidus chronicle states that following the battle on the fourteenth day october sippar was captured without battle nabonidus fled the chronicle s wording implies that nabonidus was present in sippar when the persians arrived cyrus remained in sippar and on the sixteenth day october uggubaru governor of gutium and the army of cyrus without a battle entered babylon nabonidus himself was captured shortly afterward when he returned to babylon his ultimate fate is unclear but according to the rd century bc babylonian historian berossus nabonidus was spared and he went into exile in carmania where he died years later persian troops took control of the city though the nabonidus chronicle provides little detail of how this was done the chronicle makes the city s most important temples and records that interruption of ritescults in the esagila temple or the other temples there was none and no date was missed seventeen days later on october cyrus himself entered babylon where he was proclaimed king issued royal proclamations and appointed governors of his newly conquered realm ancient greek accounts of cyrus s campaign and the fall of babylon differ significantly from the cuneiform accounts preserved in the nabonidus chronicle and the cyrus cylinder suggesting that the greeks were drawing onor perhaps inventingdifferent traditions about the conquest of babylonia the two ancient greek sources for the campaign herodotus and xenophon present broadly similar versions of events according to herodotus cyrus marched to babylon along the side of the diyala river past opis though the battle is not mentioned where the persians fought a battle with the babylonians near the capital cyrus subsequently laid siege to babylon ordering his troops to dig a canal to drain off part of the euphrates to enable his defences xenophon provides a similar but more elaborate account claiming that cyrus dug a huge trench around the city to divert the euphrates and make the river bed passable for the persian army herodotus xenophon and the biblical book of daniel all assert that the babylonians were taken by surprise while celebrating a festival berossus presents an account that is different again asserting that cyrus defeated nabonidus who fled with certain others and shut himself up in borsippa meanwhile cyrus occupied babylon and ordered to destroy the exterior walls of the city because the city seemed very formidable to him and difficult to capture afterward cyrus marched to borsippa in order to organize the siege against nabonidus but nabonidus did not await the end of the siege and surrendered these accounts written long after the persian conquest contradict many aspects of the contemporary cuneiform evidence which does not mention any sieges engineering works or battles near babylon the cuneiform descriptions of a peaceful surrender of babylon are corroborated by archaeological evidence from have been found in the layers corresponding to the fall of the city to the persians scholars are in general agreement that herodotus s account is an invention while kuhrt comments that xenophon s account in his cyropedia is virtually impossible to use as a strictly historical source due to its literary form as a moral treatise on cyrus in the form of an historical novella paulalain beaulieu suggests that the greek accounts may constitute an aggregate of various folk tales and legends which came to be associated with the fall of babylon david george hogarth and samuel rolles driver comment on what they saw as herodotus s unreliability according to the behistun inscription babylon revolted twice against darius and was recaptured on the second occasion by his general gobryas herodotus only mentions the first revolt of babylon in which zopyrus captured the city for darius and omits this second revolt historiography the babylonian defeat at opis and the apparently unopposed persian entry into babylon ended the independence of babylonia although there that the babylonian collapse was swift and apparently total is confirmed by the ancient accounts of cyrus s campaign in mesopotamia and corroborating evidence such as cuneiform inscriptions dating to shortly after the persian conquest a number of explanations have been advanced for the rapid collapse of the babylonian state the cyrus cylinder and the roughly contemporary verse account of nabonidus attribute nabonidus s failure to the desire of the god marduk to punish a regime that had opposed his will the strongly antinabonidus tone of these documents which accused the former king of behaving capriciously and neglecting the worship of the gods suggests that their authors the babylonian priestly elite were alienated from nabonidus and may have welcomed a persian takeover it is however unclear how widely the persians were supported within babylonia as accounts of the invasion and nabonidus s rule are coloured by cyrus s subsequent propaganda other writers have advanced a number of additional or alternative explanations for the babylonian defeat m a dandamaev suggests variously that the regime suffered from a general population opposition from subject peoples such as the jews who may have seen the invading persians as liberators and the inability of the babylonian forces to resist numerically superior and better equipped opponents

 constitutionally the freedom of belief is absolute and the practice of religious rites is provided in egypt although the government places restrictions on these rights in practice islam is the official state religion and sharia islamic law is the primary source of legislation although there were some positive steps in support of religious freedom the status of respect for religious freedom by the government declined overall during the period covered by this report members of nonmuslim religious minorities officially recognized by the government generally worship without harassment and maintain links with coreligionists in other countries however members of religious groups that are not recognized by the government particularly the bahai faith experience personal and collective hardship see egyptian identification card controversy a lower court ruling interpreted the constitution s guarantee of religious freedom as inapplicable to muslim citizens who wish to convert to another religion this ruling is under appeal separate court rulings provided for christian born converts to islam to obtain identity documents indicating their conversion back to christianity the courts included requirements effectively identifying the christian converts and bahais as apostates potentially exposing them if implemented to risk of significant discrimination by both governmental and societal agents in addition a lower court held that the constitution s guarantee of freedom of religion does not apply to bahais furthermore governmental authorities detained some converts from islam to christianity some religious freedom advocates and some christian children of parents who converted to islam the government again failed to redress laws and governmental practices that discriminate against christians effectively allowing their discriminatory effects and their modeling effect on society to become further entrenched according to some observers police responses to some incidents of sectarian violence were slow there continued to be religious discrimination and sectarian tension in society during the period covered by this report there were several violent incidents in upper egypt including an attack by bedouins on the abu fana monastery arson attacks on christianowned shops in armant and an attack on a coptic church and copticowned shops in esna received death threats and went into hiding with his wife after his case received wide attention in the arabic language media religious demography the country has an area of sqmi and a population of over million of whom almost percent were estimated to be sunni muslims shia muslims constitute less than percent of the population estimates of the percentage of christians range from to percent or between and million though estimates vary the majority of whom belonged to the coptic orthodox church other christian communities include the armenian apostolic roman catholic armenian chaldean greek melkite roman and syrian catholic maronite and orthodox greek and syrian churches an evangelical protestant community established in the middle of the th century included protestant denominations presbyterian episcopalanglican baptist brethren open brethren revival of holiness nahdat alqadaasa faith aleyman church of god christian model church almithaal almasihi apostolic grace church of christ gospel missionary alkiraaza bil ingil and the message church of holland arrisaala there are also followers of the seventhday adventist church which was granted legal status in the s there are small numbers of mormons and jehovah s witnesses but the government does not recognize either group the nonmuslim noncoptic orthodox communities ranged in size from several thousand to hundreds of thousands the number of bahais estimated at persons the jewish community numbers fewer than persons christians are dispersed throughout the country although the percentage of christians is higher in upper egypt the southern part of the country and some sections of cairo and alexandria there are many foreign religious groups especially roman catholics and protestants who have had a presence in the country for almost a century these groups engaged in education social and development work status of religious freedom legal and policy framework the constitution under article provides for however the government restricts these rights in practice islam is the official state religion and sharia is the primary source of legislation the government does not recognize conversions of muslims to christianity or other religions and resistance to such conversions by local officialsthrough refusal to legally recognize conversionsconstitutes a prohibition in practice january rulings by the cairo administrative court stated that freedom to convert does not extend to muslim citizens this was under appeal at the end of the reporting period it also ruled that constitutional guarantees of freedom of religion do not apply to bahais conversion is not illegal under civil law but in practice the government does not recognize conversions of muslimborn citizens to other religions however in january the supreme administrative court ruled that the ministry of interior moi must issue identity documents indicating the conversion back to christianity of some christianborn converts to islam while there is no legal ban on proselytizing muslims the government restricts such efforts neither the constitution nor the civil and penal codes proselytizing on charges of ridiculing or insulting heavenly religions or inciting sectarian strife for a religious group to be officially recognized it must submit a request to the religious affairs department of the moi which determines whether the group would in its view pose a threat or upset national unity or social peace the department also consults the leading religious figures particularly the pope of the coptic orthodox church and the sheikh of alazhar the registration is then referred to the president who if he concurs issues a decree recognizing the new group according to law of if a religious group bypasses the official registration process participants are subject to detention and could also face prosecution and punishment under article f of the penal code which forbids the denigration of religions the government last recognized a new religious group in all mosques must be licensed by the ministry of islamic endowments awqaf the government appoints and pays the salaries of the imams who lead prayers in mosques and funding of christian churches the ministry of awqaf reported that there were mosques and small dedicated prayer areas called zawayas nationwide as of april a decree by the minister of awqaf removed from governors the authority to issue permits to build mosques and placed private mosques under awqaf administrative control however approximately mosques and zawayas remain unsupervised by the ministry the contemporary interpretation of the ottoman hamayouni decree partially still in force requires nonmuslims to obtain a presidential decree to build new churches and synagogues in addition moi regulations issued in under the alezabi decree specify a set of ten conditions that the government must consider before a presidential decree for construction of a new nonmuslim place of worship can be issued the conditions include the requirement that the distance between a church and a mosque not be less than meters feet and that approval of the neighboring muslim community be obtained before a permit to build a new church may be issued in president mubarak issued governors to grant permits to christian denominations that seek to expand or rebuild existing churches the decree also stated that churches could undertake basic repairs and maintenance subject only to the provision of written notification to the local authorities decree noted that the governors must examine all applications for rebuilding or expansion which must be supported by unspecified supporting documents within thirty days of submission according to the new decree permits may not be refused except with a justified ruling decree also cancelled a decree aimed at improving the permit process for church repair presidential decree of had made the repair of all places of worship subject to a civil construction code although this decree made mosque and church repairs technically subject to the same laws authorities enforced the laws more strictly for churches two and a half years after promulgation of decree church and lay leaders complained that the permit process remains susceptible to delay by local officials they charged that some local authorities refused to process obtain eg a presidential decree authorizing the existence of a church that had been established during the country s monarchical era others complain that some local authorities categorize routine repairs and maintenance eg painting of walls and plumbing repairs as expansionreconstruction projects thus requiring formal permits versus simple notification they also maintain that security forces blocked them from using permits that had been issued and at times denied them permits for repairs to church buildings and the supply of water and electricity to existing church facilities such incidents often depended on the attitude of local security officials and the governorate leadership toward the church and on their personal relationships with representatives of the churches as a result congregations have experienced lengthy delaysyears in many caseswhile waiting for new building permits local authorities have closed down unlicensed places of worship as a result of restrictions some communities use private buildings and apartments for religious services or build without permits constitutional amendments approved by referendum on march have unclear implications constitution states that the country s political system is based on the principle of citizenship the amended article prohibits the formation of political parties or the conduct of political activities on a religious basis government supporters argued that these changes would separate religion from politics some critics argued however that the amendments are incompatible with article which continues to state that sharia is the basis for legislation the application of family law including marriage divorce alimony child custody and burial is based on an individual s religion in the practice of family law the government recognizes only the three heavenly religions islam christianity and judaism muslim families are subject to sharia christian families to canon law and jewish families to jewish law in cases of family law disputes involving a marriage between a christian woman and a muslim man the courts apply sharia the government does not recognize the marriages of citizens adhering to religions other than christianity judaism or islam under convert to islam to marry muslim women but nonmuslim women need not convert to marry muslim men muslim women are prohibited from marrying christian men under sharia as interpreted by the government a nonmuslim wife who converts to islam must divorce her apostate nonmuslim husband upon the wife s conversion local security authorities ask the nonmuslim husband if he is willing to convert to islam if he chooses not to divorce proceedings begin immediately and custody of children is awarded to the mother inheritance laws for all citizens are based on the government s interpretation of sharia muslim female heirs receive half the amount of a male heir s inheritance christian widows of muslims have no automatic inheritance rights but may be provided for in testamentary documents under sharia converts from islam lose all rights of inheritance however because the government offers no legal means for converts from islam to christianity to amend their civil records to reflect their new religious status the converts loss of inheritance rights may not be indicated on register their change in religious status some converts resort to soliciting illicit identity papers often by submitting fraudulent supporting documents or bribing government clerks who process the documents in such cases authorities periodically charge converts with violating laws prohibiting the falsification of documents the law prescribes administrative steps pursuant to the conversion of nonmuslims to islam the minor children of such converts and in some cases adult children may automatically become classified as muslims by the government irrespective of the religion of the other parent this practice is in accordance with the government s interpretation of sharia which dictates no jurisdiction of a nonmuslim over a muslim government authorities sometimes fail to uphold the law in sensitive conversion cases local authorities sometimes allow custody of a minor christian female who converts to islam to be transferred to a muslim custodian who is likely to grant approval for a marriage opposed by the girl s christian parents although the minimum age for marriage is for both men and women girls who are at least approval of their parents or in cases where the girl asserts that she has converted to islam with the approval of a muslim guardian according to the government s instructions for notaries public which implement law of persons age and above may convert to islam without parental consent christian activists assert that ignorance of the law and social pressure including the centrality of marriage to a woman s identity often affect a girl s decision to convert family conflict and financial pressure also are cited as factors the government reportedly halted the practice of requiring religious advice and guidance sessions in the case of christianborn converts to islam in without any prior notice or discussion for many years those guidance sessions had been instrumental in resolving disputed conversion cases in many instances christian girls returned to their original faith and families law of still in force bans bahai institutions and community activities and strips bahais of legal recognition during the nasser era the government libraries and cemeteries the government has asserted that national identity cards require all citizens to be categorized as muslims christians or jews the moi has reportedly on rare occasions issued documents that list a citizen s religion as other or simply do not mention religion however it is not clear when these conditions apply bahais and other religious groups not associated with any of the three heavenly religions have been compelled either to misrepresent themselves or go without valid identity documents those without valid identity cards also encounter difficulty registering their children in school opening bank accounts and establishing businesses bahais at age face additional problems under law which makes it mandatory for all citizens to obtain a new identification card featuring a new national identification number police occasionally conduct random inspections of identity papers and those found without identity cards can be detained until the document is provided some bahais without identity cards reportedly stay home to avoid police scrutiny and possible arrest the law provides for khul divorce without her husband s consent provided that she is willing to forego all of her financial rights including alimony dowry and other benefits many women have complained that after being granted khul the required child support is not paid the coptic orthodox church excommunicates female members who marry muslim men and requires that other christians convert to coptic orthodoxy to marry a member of the church coptic males are prevented from marrying muslim women by both civil and religious laws a civil marriage abroad is an option should a christian male and a muslim female citizen decide to marry however their marriage would not be legally recognized in the country additionally the woman could be arrested and charged with apostasy and any children from such a marriage could be taken and assigned to the physical custody of a male muslim guardian as determined by the government s interpretation of sharia the coptic orthodox church permits divorce only in specific circumstances such as adultery or conversion of one spouse to another religion the it has to varying degrees subjected them to harassment and surveillance the witnesses were legally registered in cairo in and alexandria in and their presence in the country dates to the s the government attributes its refusal to grant the jehovah s witnesses registration to the opposition of the coptic orthodox church which has condemned the group as heretical as well as to its lingering nasserera suspicion of links between witnesses and the state of israel various ministries are legally authorized to ban or confiscate books and works of art upon obtaining a court order the council of ministers may order the banning of works that it deems offensive to public morals detrimental to religion or likely to cause a breach of the peace the islamic research center irc at alazhar university has legal authority to censor and since confiscate any publications dealing with the quran and the authoritative islamic traditions hadith in recent years the irc has also passed judgment on the suitability of nonreligious books and confiscations but must obtain a court order to do so the government granted confiscatory authority to alazhar university and acted on its recommendations in the ministry of justice issued a decree authorizing alazhar sheikhs to confiscate publications tapes speeches and artistic materials deemed inconsistent with islamic law there were no reports of the exercise of this authority during the reporting period the government has not granted legal recognition to the church of jesus christ of latterday saints lds church or mormons in cairo the lds church has maintained an organized congregation in the country for more than years the government has raised no objection some members particularly those who have converted to the lds church overseas and then returned to the country complain of excessive surveillance from state security and sometimes avoid meetings from fear of harassment the government outlawed the muslim brotherhood which operates missionary charitable and political activities in but has tolerated its operations with varying levels of interference muslim brothers speak openly of the organization although they remain subject to arbitrary detention and pressure from the government the government at times prosecutes members of religious groups whose practices are deemed to deviate from mainstream islamic beliefs and whose activities are alleged to jeopardize communal harmony the government has advised journalists and cartoonists to avoid antisemitism government officials insist that antisemitic statements in the media are a reaction to israeli government actions against palestinians and do not reflect historical antisemitism however there are few public attempts to distinguish between antisemitism and antiisraeli sentiment the quasi governmental national council for human rights nchr is charged with furthering protections raising awareness and ensuring the observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms including religious freedom it is also charged with monitoring enforcement and application of international agreements five of its reappointed members as well as its president are copts the nchr in its fourth report issued in march reported that it received complaints from christian families alleging that their daughters were missing the most cases replied that the women had eloped with muslim men converted to islam of their free will and had chosen to leave their families without prior notice because they feared reprisal on the part of their families the report also stated that the nchr had received formal complaints pertaining to religious freedom which it sent to relevant authorities for action the nchr received an additional complaints from bahais who were denied government identification documents in its report the nchr called on the government to permit the designation bahai on government identification documents see restrictions on religious freedom the local media including state television and newspapers give

of muhammad ahmad abduh higazy to have his new religion christianity recorded on his national identity card as so doing would conflict with public order in its ruling the court wrote that muslims are forbidden from converting away from islam based on principles of islamic law and because such conversion would constitute a disparagement of the official state religion and an enticement for other muslims to convert the court asserted its duty to protect public order from the crime of apostasy from apostate petitions the administration to condone his misdeed and his corrupt caprice in august mohamed ahmed higazy and his wife zeinab had publicly announced that they had converted to christianity and wished to be legally recognized as such the ruling maintained a government policy not to

converted to islam with the approval of a muslim guardian according to the government s instructions for notaries public which implement law of persons age and above may convert to islam without parental consent christian activists assert that ignorance of the law and social pressure including the centrality of marriage to a woman s identity often affect a girl s decision to convert family conflict and financial pressure also are cited as factors according to watani newspaper editor and publisher youssef sidhom and christian lawyer naguib gabriel the reporting period witnessed the apparent cessation of the required religious advice and guidance according to sidhom the advice and guidance sessions had proved repeatedly to be instrumental in resolving disputed conversion cases returning many christian girls to their original faith and families sidhom complained that the decision to annul the advice and guidance sessions was taken by the interior ministry without any prior notice or discussion gabriel filed a lawsuit before the administrative court to restore the advice and guidance sessions but the court issued no judgment by the end of the reporting period there were no reports of the forced religious conversion of minor us citizens who may have been abducted or illegally removed from the united states according to the survey in by the pew global attitudes project

in both the governmentowned and opposition press however there have been no violent antisemitic incidents in recent years antisemitic articles and opinion pieces appeared in the and electronic media antisemitism in the media was common but less prevalent than in recent years and antisemitic editorial cartoons and articles depicting demonic images of jews and israeli leaders stereotypical images of jews along with jewish symbols and comparisons of israeli leaders to hitler and the nazis were published throughout the year these expressions occurred primarily in the governmentsponsored daily newspapers algumhuriyya akhbar alyawm and alahram but elicited no government response for example on august in an article in the governmentcontrolled daily newspaper alahram the grand mufti ali goma criticized recent israeli military action in lebanon and wrote that israeli lies have exposed the true and hideous face of the blood suckers who planned to prepare a matzo unleavened passover bread using human blood on august a muslim cleric safwat higazi appeared on dream tv to discuss recent media reports that he had issued a ruling on the islamic alnas channel that permitted the killing of israeli jews in egypt higazi opined are serving in the israeli defense forces reserves in the country was permissible on september alahram published an opinion column entitled who is the nazi now and stated that the war that hitler led against the jews was an excuse through which the zionists justified their colonizing of palestine but the jews who escaped from oppression oppressed the palestinians and thus the victims of the old nazis became the new nazis who is the nazi now gnther grass who admitted the mistake he made when he was an adolescent or david ben gurion begin shamir sharon olmert and people of their kind the government has advised journalists and cartoonists to avoid antisemitism government officials insist that antisemitic statements in the media are a reaction to israeli government actions against palestinians and do not reflect historical antisemitism however there are few public attempts to distinguish between antisemitism and antiisraeli sentiment coptic christians laws concerning coptic christians which place restrictions on church building and open worship have approval while sporadic attacks on christians and churches continue coptic christians

minimally represented in law enforcement state security and public office and are being discriminated against in the workforce on the basis of their religion the coptic community as well as several human rights activists and intellectuals maintain that the number of christians occupying government posts is not proportional to the number of copts in egypt they are also the victims of discriminatory religious laws antichristian judges and antichristian state police antichristian laws include laws governing repairing old churches or constructing new ones which are usually impossible tasks requiring presidential permission to build a new church and a governors permission to renovate even the legislate from the bench an example includes an egyptian court s refusal to grant muslim

 libya br free papua movement supported by br muammar gaddafi jacob prai the insurgency in aceh was waged by the free aceh movement gam between and in order for the province to be independent from indonesia the indonesian state had designated it as the aceh disturbance or pemberontakan aceh destruction caused by the armed conflicts and indian ocean earthquake brought a peace deal and an end to the insurgency amnesty international released the time to face the past report in april following the failure of the indonesian government to uphold its peace agreement obligations and the report warns that further violence may ensue if the matter is not addressed background there is something of a cultural and religious difference between aceh and much of the rest of indonesia a more conservative form of islam than is mainstream in most of indonesia is widely practiced in aceh the broadly secular policies of suharto s new order regime the central government s policy of promoting a unified indonesian culture further not surprisingly given the location of the province at the northern end of indonesia there is a widespread feeling in the province that leaders in distant jakarta do not understand aceh s problems and have little sympathy for local needs and customs in aceh timeline first phase the centralist tendencies of the government of suharto along with other grievances led hasan di tiro to form the free aceh movement gam on december and declare acehnese independence the main perceived threats were to acehnese religion and culture from the neocolonial government and the rising numbers of javanese migrants into aceh the perceived unfair distribution of income from aceh s substantial natural resources was another point of contention gam s first operation in was carried out against mobil oil indonesia which was the shareholder of pt arun the company which operated the arun gas field at this stage the numbers mobilized by gam were extremely limited while there s cause this did not translate into mass active participation by di tiro s own account only men joined him and they came mostly from the district of pidie and especially from di tiro s own villagewith some of them joining due to personal loyalties to the di tiro family while others due to disillusionment with the central government many of gam s leaders were young and highly educated professionals who were members of the upper and middle classes of acehnese society gam s first cabinet set up by di tiro during his time in aceh between and composed of the following darul islam rebellion teungku hasan di tiro wali negara defense minister and supreme commander dr muchtar hasbi vicepresident minister of internal affairs tengku muhamad usman lampoih awe minister of finance tengku haji iljas leube minister of justice dr husaini m hasan minister of education and information dr zaini abdullah minister of health dr zubir mahmud minister of works and industry amir ishak minister of communications amir rashid mahmud minister of trade malik mahmud minister of state the midlevel and rankandfile had fought in the darul islam rebellion many of them were older men who remained loyal to former aceh military governor and leader of the darul islam rebellion in aceh daud beureueh the most prominent person of this group was tengke ilyas leube a wellknown cleric who had been a leader of the darul islam rebellion some of the darul islam men were possibility linked to di tiro through family or regional ties but they owed their loyalty primarily to beureueh these men provided the military knowhow local knowledge and logistical skills which the young educated leaders lacked by the end of indonesian suppression actions had all but crushed gamits leaders were either in exile imprisoned or killed its followers were dispersed and pushed underground leaders such as di tiro zaini abdullah gam minister of health malik mahmud gam minister of state education had fled overseas and the original gam cabinet ceased to function second phase in di tiro secured libyan support for gamtaking advantage of muammar gaddafi s policy of supporting nationalist rebellions through his mathaba against imperialism racism zionism and fascism it was not clear if libya had subsequently funded gam but what it definitely provided was a sanctuary in which gam recruits could receive muchneeded military training accounts differ on the number of fighters trained by libya during the period of to or gam recruiters claimed that there were around to while press reports drawing from indonesian military s report claimed that they numbered to among the gam leaders who joined during this phase were sofyan dawood who would become gam commander pas north aceh and ishak daud who became the spokesman for gam peureulak east aceh incidents in the second phase began in after the return of the trainees from libya operations by gam included weapons raiding attacks against police and military personnel government informants and other individuals although it failed to gain widespread support the group s actions led the indonesian government to institute repressive measures the period between and became known as the military operation area or daerah operasi militer dom era as the indonesian military stepped up its counterinsurgency measures this measure although tactically successful in destroying gam as a guerilla force alienated the local acehnese which helped gam reestablish itself when indonesian military was almost totally withdrawn from aceh by order of president habibie in late important gam commanders were either killed pase district commander yusuf ali and senior gam commander keuchik umar captured ligadinsyah ibrahim or fled robert arjuna and daud kandang third phase in chaos in java and an ineffective central government due to the fall of suharto gave an advantage to free aceh movement and resulted in the second phase of the rebellion this time with large support from the acehnese people in security situation led to reintroduction of more soldiers and troop numbers were believed to have risen during president megawati sukarnoputri s term in office to around by mid gam was able to control percent of the countryside in all of aceh during this phase there were two periods of brief cessation of hostilities the humanitarian pause in and the cessation of hostilities agreement coha which lasted only between december when it was signed and ended in may when the indonesian government declared a military emergency in aceh and announced that it wanted to destroy gam once and for all in a break from its emphasis on military means of attaining independence gam shifted its position to one supporting the holding of a referendum during the november proreferendum demonstrations in banda aceh gam gave support by providing transport to protesters from rural areas to the provincial capital on july gam also issued the stavanger declaration following a meeting of the worldwide achehnese representatives meeting in stavanger norway of acheh practices the system of democracy aspinall saw that these democratic and human rights impulses within gam as an effect of the efforts of urbanbased acehnese group which were promoting such values in the freer and more open environment following the fall of soeharto from power security crackdowns in and resulted in several thousand civilian deaths throughout the conflict an estimated people have been killed the government launched an offensive and a state of emergency was proclaimed in the province during this period the gam was severely disabled with its commander abdullah syafei killed in a government ambush in january while various regional commanders such as tengku jamaica and ishak daud were also killed by gam s own admission it lost of its strength during the government offensive of the insurgency was still going on when the tsunami disaster of struck the province in november the martial law was extended for a further six months according to a human rights watch report the indonesian military committed widespread human rights people being displaced in the first seven months of martial law and extrajudicial killings being common the peace agreement and first local elections after the devastating tsunami in december gam declared a unilateral ceasefire with members of the international community reiterating the need to resolve the conflict of the numerous accounts of the negotiation process one from the indonesian side is in the book by the indonesian key negotiator hamid awaludin a differing account was written by gam adviser damien kingsbury peace in aceh a personal account of the aceh peace process despite gam s unilateral ceasefire the tni continued its assault on gam personnel and positions because of the separatist movement in the area the indonesian government had access restrictions in place on the press and aid workers after the tsunami however the indonesian government opened the region up to international relief efforts the tsunami drew international attention to the conflict earlier peace efforts had failed but for a number of reasons including the the conflict and notably a desire by president susilo bambang yudhoyono to secure peace in indonesia a peace agreement was reached in after years of war postsuharto indonesia and the liberaldemocratic reform period as well as changes in the indonesian military helped create an environment more favorable to peace talks the roles of newly elected president susilo bambang yudhoyono and vice president jusuf kalla were highly significant at the same time the gam leadership was reconsidering options available to it and the indonesian military had put the rebel movement under significant pressure that encouraged gam to accept an outcome short of full independence the peace talks were facilitated by a finlandbased ngo the crisis management initiative and led by former finnish president martti ahtisaari the resulting peace agreement was signed on august under the agreement aceh would receive special autonomy under the republic of indonesia and nonorganic ie nonaceh native government troops would be withdrawn from the province leaving only soldiers in exchange for the european union dispatched monitors their mission expired on december following local elections aceh has been granted broader autonomy through aceh government legislation covering special rights agreed upon in as well as the right of the acehnese to establish local political parties to represent their interests however human rights advocates highlighted that previous human rights violations in the province would need to be addressed during elections for the provincial governor held in december the former gam and national parties participated the election was won by irwandi yusuf whose base of support consists largely of exgam members possible causes of conflict historical the area first fell dutch authority as a result of the dutch expedition on the west coast of sumatra of australian national university anu academic edward aspinall argued that the historical experience of aceh during the indonesian national revolution led to a pathdependent development for acehnese separatism ie past events lead to a narrowing of the possibilities for subsequent development he argued acehnese be traced to particular historical events and conflicts of interest notably the autonomy that the modernist ulama muslim religious scholars enjoyed during the revolution and the dramatic loss of it immediately after aspinall argued further that there were two milestones for the pathdependent development of aceh separatism aceh played an important role in the revolution and war of independence against the dutch and consequently was allegedly able to extract a promise from thenpresident soekarno during his visit to aceh that it would be allowed to implement islamic law or syariah following independence aceh military governor daud beureueh declared that the province would secede from republik indonesia ri to join the negara islam indonesia nii in reaction to the refusal of the central government to allow the implementation of syariah and the downgrading of aceh from the status of a province this rebellion which aceh was a part of came to be known as the darul islam rebellion aspinall of acehnese identification with a panindonesianislamic cause and laid the groundwork for particularism the above argument by aspinall contradicted the views of earlier scholars earlier in geoffrey robinson argued that the defeat and surrender of the daud beureuehled rebellion was followed by roughly years in which aceh presented no particular security or political problem to the central government tim kell also pointed out that the former leaders of the rebellion had keenly joined the indonesian armed forces in the crackdown against the partai komunis indonesia pki in and religion aceh like most of indonesia had muslims as the majority religious group however it is generally acknowledged that it was the region where islam first entered into the malay archipelago the first known islamic kingdom was pasai near presentday lhokseumawe in northern aceh which dates back to the midth century the earliest found archaeological evidence to support this view was the tomb stone of sultan malik ul salih who died in in the centuries that followed pasai became for islamic governance in which other islamic kingdoms look to for guidance part of the distinct acehnese identity would stem from its status as the earliest islamic region and the exemplar for the rest of the malay archipelago this separateness from the rest of indonesia where islam is concerned could be observed from the formation of the persatuan ulama seluruh aceh pusa in by modernist islamic scholars or ulama the organisation was exclusively acehnese it was noted that in aceh itself most panindonesian mass organisations had been weakeven the muhammadiyah the main organisation for modernistoriented muslims in indonesia failed to make inroads in aceh beyond urban areas and was largely nonacehnese in its membership however it was also noted that though pusa was parochial in its orientation it nonetheless still identified with a panislamic cause where the goal was for all muslims to be united under the syariah another factor of the religious cause for aceh s separatism was the treatment of muslim groups orde baru regime first there was the forced fusion of all political parties representing muslim interests into the partai persatuan pembangunan ppp or united development party in members and followers of islamic political parties in aceh suffered from varying degrees of harassment despite aceh s special territory status it was not allowed to implement syariah nor to integrate islamic religious schools madrasah with mainstream national schools for a unified education systemboth proposals were ignored by the central government despite indonesia being a muslim majority state building on aceh s existing selfconception of its role in islam and the orde baru s hostile attitude towards islamic forms of societal influence gam was able to frame the struggle against the indonesian government as a prang sabi holy war in much the same way the term was used in the infidel war or aceh war against the dutch from to an indication of hikayat prang sabi tales of holy war a collection of tales used to inspire resistance against the dutch by some elements of gam as propaganda against the indonesian government before the second wave of insurrections by gam in the lates it was observed that some individuals had forced acehnese school children to sing the hikayat prang sabi instead of indonesia s national anthem indonesia raya gam political publicity material also painted the official state ideology of pancasila as a polytheistic teaching notwithstanding the above it was observed that in the aftermath of the fall of soeharto in religion as a factor for aceh separatism began to subside even if there had been a proliferation of muslim student unions and other groups in aceh it was noted that these newlyemerged groups rarely called for the implementation of syariah in aceh instead they emphasized the need for a referendum on aceh s independence and highlighted the human rights abuses and similarly gam s position on syariah also shifted when the central government passed the law no on aceh autonomy which included provisions for the implementation of syariah gam condemned the move as irrelevant and a possible attempt to deceive acehnese and or portray them to the outside world as religious fanatics despite the official stance on syariah gam s position was not a clear cut one it was noted by the international crisis group icg that between and there were periodic instances of some gam local military commanders enforcing syariah in communities where they had influence in aspinall also observed that overall the evolution of gam s position visavia syariah and islam was dependent on the international environment and which countries it targeted for support in its cause for independence ie if western countries were deemed important islam was deemphasized and if muslim countries were deemed important islam would be emphasized economic related to the revenues derived from the oil and gas industries in aceh robinson argued that the orde baru s management and exploitation of aceh s resources and the way it distributed the benefits was the root cause of the insurgency from the s to the mids aceh had undergone a lng boom following the discovery natural gas on the northeast coast of aceh over the same period aceh became a major source of revenue for the central government and in the s it contributed significantly to indonesia s exports when it became the third largest source of exports after the provinces of east kalimantan and riau despite this practically all oil and gas revenues from production and exports activities in aceh was appropriated by the central government either directly or through production sharing agreements with state oil company pertamina furthermore the central government did not reinvest a fair amount of the revenues back into the province this led some of aceh s thenemerging technocratic class to lament that the province had been denied its fair share of an ignored peripheral region robinson noted that though some of aceh s small but burgeoning business class had benefited from the influx of foreign capital during the lng boom there were many who felt aggrieved at losing out to others with good political connections to the central governmentmost notably the leader of gam himself hasan di tiro was one such aggrieved party when he made a bid for an oil pipeline contract for mobile oil indonesia in but lost out to a us company he further noted that the timing of gam s declaration of independence in december and its first military action in happened at roughly the same time that aceh s first natural gas extraction and processing facility had opened indeed in gam s declaration of independence the following claim was made acheh sumatra has been producing a revenue of over billion us dollars yearly for the javanese neocolonialists which they used totally for the benefit of java and the javanese despite the above robinson noted that while this factor partly they do not appear to explain the reemergence of gam in and the neverbefore seen levels of violence thereafter aspinall supports this viewpoint and argued that though resource and economic grievances should not be discounted they were not decisive as the provinces of riau and east kalimantan both faced similar or even harsher exploitation by the central government but no separatist rebellions took place in those two provinces due to the difference in political conditions he furthered that the resourcebased grievance was a means for gam to convince acehnese that they should abandon hopes of special treatment and autonomy within indonesia and instead work for the restoration of aceh s glory by seeking independence role of gam in galvanizing grievances gam s founder hasan di tiro and his fellow leaders in exile in sweden were instrumental in providing a coherent message on both the necessity and right of selfdetermination for aceh accordingly arguments on the need for independence was targeted at the domestic acehnese audience while the right to independence was targeted at the international audience to win diplomatic support in a bona fide sovereign actor on the international stage with emphasis on the sultanate s past relations with european states diplomatic missions treaties as well as statements of recognition of aceh s sovereignty in accordance to this logic an independent aceh as represented by gam would be the successor state to the aceh sultanate before defeat by the dutch following the aceh war the aceh war was thus seen as an unlawful act of aggression by the dutch and the subsequent incorporation of aceh into indonesia in was casted as an extension of the unlawful occupation by the dutch this argument targeted at both the acehnese themselves as well as the international communityie through its appeal to international law in the same vein the state of indonesia was cast by gam propaganda as a cover for javanese domination in di tiro s own description indonesia was a fraud a cloak to cover up javanese colonialism since the world begun sic there never was a people much by that name the efforts at spreading gam propaganda relied much on word of mouth elizabeth drexler had observed that ordinary acehnese and gam supporters often repeat the same claims made in gam s propaganda which they had came into contact with through this mode of dissemination the late m isa sulaiman wrote that when di tiro first started his secessionist activities between and he had relied on a network of relatives and a number of likeminded young intellectuals to spread his messagewhich gained traction especially in medan north sumatra aspinall also wrote of gam sympathizers recollection of the early days of the insurrection in which they would pass pamphlets to friends or slide them anonymously under the doors of their colleagues offices the results of the propaganda efforts were however quite mixed eric morris when interviewing gam supporters for his thesis noted that rather than independence they were more interested in either an indonesian islamic state or for aceh to be treated more fairly by the central government aspinall also noted that for some or the united development party which was campaigning on an islamic platform for the indonesian legislative election in for individuals who had become core supporters however the message of independence found in gam s propaganda was seen as revelatory and many saw felt a moment of awakening possible factors for prolonged conflict resilience of gam s network many of the participants of gam were either participants of the darul islam rebellion or were the sons of those who had aspinall noted that the kinship ties between father and son as well as amongst brothers had been crucial to gam s solidarity as an organisation many felt that they were continuing the aspirations of either their fathers uncles brothers or male cousin who were usually the ones who inducted them into the organizationor whose exploits or deaths at the hands of the state security apparatus had inspired them to join gam s constituents were also often residents in closeknit rural communities where everybody knew their neighbors well these features enabled both continuity as well as a aspinall also credited gam s resilience on the celllike structure at the lower levels at the levels below the regional military commander panglima wilayah were units commanded by junior commanders panglima muda and even lower level commanders panglima sagoe and ulee sagoe who did not know the identities of their counterparts in neighboring regions and only knew those directly above them these allowed gam to survive as an organization despite the suppression efforts of the indonesian state human rights abuses by indonesian military robinson argued that the institutionalized use of terror by the indonesian military in counterinsurgency action against gam under the late orde baru period from the middle of ie in the second phase of the insurrection had led to a wider section of acehnese being affected and pushed them to be more sympathetic and supportive of gam he assessed that such methods had the effect of escalating the level of violence was proved difficult to heal as amnesty international noted the political authority of the armed forces considerable even under normal conditions now became unchallengeable in the name of national security military and police authorities deployed in aceh were thereafter free to use virtually any means deemed necessary to destroy the gpk gerakan pengacauan keamanan or security disturbance movement which was the indonesian government s nomenclature for gam amnesty international documented the use of arbitrary arrests extralegal detention summary executions rape and scorchearth as features of the indonesian military s push against gam since among the more chilling acts observed by amnesty international was the public disposal of the bodies of victims of summary executions or petrus killings penembakan misterius to serve as warnings to acehnese to refrain from joining or supporting gam the following was amnesty international s description of such acts the mysterious killings petrus in aceh had the following general features places beside a main road in fields and plantations next to a stream or a river apparently as a warning to others not to join or support the rebels most had clearly been prisoners when they were killed their thumbs and sometimes their feet had been tied together with a particular type of knot most had been shot at close range though the bullets were seldom found in their bodies most also showed signs of having been beaten with a blunt instrument or tortured and their faces were therefore often unrecognizable for the most part the bodies were not recovered by relatives or friends both out of fear of retribution by the military and because the victims were usually dumped at some distance from their home villages another questionable tactic of the tni was the socalled civilmilitary operations in which civilians were compelled to participate in intelligence and security operations a notorious example of this was the operasi pagar betis or fence of legs as described civilmilitary cooperation was the fence of legs operation used previously in east timor in which ordinary villagers were compelled to sweep through an area ahead of armed troops in order both to flush out rebels and to inhibit them from returning fire essential to the success of these operations were local vigilante groups and night patrols made up of civilians but established under military order and supervision between and young men were mobilized from each village in suspected rebel areas in the words of a local military commander the youths are the front line they know best who the gpk are we then settle the matter refusal to participate in these groups or failure to demonstrate sufficient commitment to crushing the enemy by identifying capturing or killing alleged rebels sometimes resulted in punishment by government forces including public torture arrest and execution indonesian military s interests in aceh damien kingsbury who served as adviser to the gam leadership in stockholm and helsinki during the helsinki peace talks in the conflict at a level which would justify their presence in the restive province the icg also asserted in a report that aceh is simply too lucrative a place for military officers who rely so heavily on nonbudgetary sources of income kingsbury and lesley mcculloch outlined the following business activities allegedly conducted by the indonesian military in aceh drugs security forces encouraged local farmers to grow marijuana and paid them prices far below the black market value one instance highlighted was a police helicopter pilot admitting after his arrest that he was flying a kg consignment of the drug for his superior the police chief of aceh besar note that at this point the indonesian police or polri was under the command of the military another case was in september in which an army truck was intercepted by the police in binjai north sumatra with a cargo of kg of marijuana illegal arms sale interviews in and with gam leaders in aceh revealed that some of their weapons were in fact sales was for the indonesian military personnel to report those weapons sold as having been seized during combat secondly key indonesian military personnel with access had even directly provided gam with a reliable supply of weapons as well as ammunition illegalunlicensed logging military and police were paid by logging companies to ignore logging activities which took place outside of licensed areas the leuser development project funded by the european union from the mids to combat illegal logging had in fact discovered that the indonesian military and police who were supposed to assist in preventing illegal logging were in fact facilitating and in some cases even initiating such illegal activities protection the military ran protection rackets to extract payments from companies such as mobil and pt arun in the oil and gas industries as well as companies operating plantations in aceh in return for the payments the military would deploy its personnel at the properties and areas of operations of these companies fishery local fisherman were forced to sell to the military their catches at prices sell the fishes to local businesses at a much higher prices personnel of the indonesian navy might also waylay fishing vessels to extort payments from fishermen coffee similar to fishermen coffee planters were compelled to sell coffee beans to the military at low prices possible factors for peaceful resolution weakening of gam s military position the declaration of martial law by the indonesian government in may had resulted in a concerted push by the indonesian military against gam the icg reported that by mid gam s supply lines and communications had been seriously disrupted it was also more difficult for them to move about and their presence in urban areas was largely rooted out as a result gam s command in pidie had instructed all field commanders by telephone to pull back from the sagoe subdistrict to the daerah district base and that henceforth military actions could only be undertaken on the order of the daerah commander and regional commander previously when gam was in a stronger position its sagoe level units could exercise a great level of command autonomy to initiate military actions on their own according to then indonesian armed forces commander general endriartono sutarto the security forces succeeded in cutting the size of gam s forces by which presumably included surrenders captures and deaths while doubting that the figure was accurate most observers would agree that the renewed military push against gam following the martial law declaration had dealt substantial damage to gam however aspinall noted that most gam leaders whom he had interviewed particularly the field officers were adamant that their acceptance of the helsinki mou was not due to their military weakness formergam leader irwandi yusuf who would go on to be the governor of aceh through its inaugural direct gubernatorial elections on dec ventured that far from collapsing the situation of gam was actually improving as the sick and infirm were captured by the indonesian military which left those still in the the commitment of gam forces to fight on gam s leaders might have at that point given up hope that a military victory over the government forces would be possible in the words of former gam prime minister malik mahmud to aspinall in october the existing strategies applied by both parties had caused a costly stalemate when asked by jakarta post to comment on whether accepting the helsinki mou was a facesaving measure by gam in the face of military setbacks malik said well we have to be realistic we have to take into account the reality on the ground if that peace agreement is a solution that s good for both parties of course with dignity on both sides why not this is for the sake of peace for the sake of future progress so there is nothing wrong with that and i think any other country in the world would do the same thing and also when we come to that kind of situation we have to be very that is what we did international pressure the international opinion following the tsunami could also had a bearing on the importance placed on the helsinki peace talks undertaken by both the indonesian government and gam both sides had sent senior ranking officials as negotiators while during the cessation of hostilities agreement coha talks which was signed in december representation was at a relatively junior level gam leaders had also assessed that during the helsinki peace talks that there was no support from the international community for aceh s independence aspiration with regard to this malik said we saw also that the world kept silent about our move for independence so we thought during the process of negotiations that that autonomy and selfgovernment was the best solution that was in front of us in explaining to the gam commanders the acceptance of selfgovernment instead of continuing to struggle for independence gam leaders stressed that if they continued to insist on fighting for independence even after the tsunami they would risk being isolated by the october president susilo bambang yudhoyono sby and vice president jusuf kalla were sworn in following the first ever direct presidential elections in aspinall argued that before this there was a balance between those in the indonesian government who believed that a military victory was impossible and that negotiations were needed and hardliners who held on to the view that gam could be entirely eliminatedthe election of sby and kalla had tipped the balance in favor of the former position he pointed out that while sby was still a minister in the cabinet of president megawati soekarnoputri he had supported an integrated approach in which military measures were accompanied by efforts to negotiate with gam kalla then a ministerial colleague of sby s also supported the restarting of talks with gam in early ie a time when the martial law in aceh was still in effect and the military operations was in full swing during this time kalla through his trusted intermediaries made approaches to gam s commanders in the field as well as president and vice president of indonesia in favor of negotiations as a solution to the aceh insurgency thus provided a platform for the eventual success of the helsinki peace talks kingsbury an official advisor to gam also credited the election of sby and kalla in as the impetus for the peace efforts which led to the eventual agreement in particular he credited the appointment of kalla for overseeing the indonesian delegation for the peace talks as crucial because kalla s status as the general chairman of golkar at that time the largest party in the indonesian legislature allowed sby s government to deal effectively with any opposition coming from the parliament time to face the past report in april amnesty international released the time to face the past report in which the organisation states that most victims and their relatives have long been denied truth justice and reparation in violation of indonesias obligation under international law they are still waiting for local and national indonesian authorities to acknowledge during the conflict for the formulation of the report amnesty international employed the findings that it collected during a visit to aceh in may during this visit organisational representatives spoke with nongovernmental organizations ngos community organisations lawyers parliamentarians local government officials journalists and victims and their representatives about the situation in aceh at the time of the interviews while victims expressed their appreciation of the peace process and the increased security in the aceh province they conveyed their frustration at the lack of action from the indonesian government in regard to the memorandum of understanding mou in which a plan for the setting up of a human rights court for aceh and an aceh truth and reconciliation commission is documented moreover the time to face the past report contains a warning in light of the potential for renewed violence that exists in aceh if the indonesian government remains stagnant in relation to its commitments from the mou amnesty international s deputy asia pacific director isabelle arradon is breeding resentment that could sow the seeds of a future return to violence as of april the indonesian government had not issued a response to the report and a presidential spokesman informed the bbc news service that he was unable to comment as he had not read the report see also indian ocean earthquake bambang darmono the black road references

 infobox ship image loch vennachar was a threemasted iron sailing ship clipper that operated between great britain and australia between the late th century and the name was drawn from loch venachar a lake which lies to the southwest of the burgh of callander in the stirling region of scotland it is understood to mean most beautiful lady in scottish gaelic in september she sank without trace and with all hands leaving a spray of wreckage scattered along the south coast of kangaroo island in her extensively damaged remains were discovered in an average depth of metres ft of water near west bay kangaroo island in south australia sa by the society for underwater historical research suhr history and description loch vennachar was built in by thomson s on the clyde for the glasgow shipping company she was one of a fleet of iron wool clippers of the wellknown loch line tons net length feet inch breadth feet inches depth of hold feet inches her usual cargo was usually about bales of wool she was first rigged with fidded royal masts but this proved to interfere with her stability as there was too much weight aloft she was then given topgallant and royal masts in one with crossed royal yards over doubletopgallants loch vennachar was always in the wool trade to adelaide and melbourne but when an out wool clipper she also carried passengers and other cargo on her maiden voyage she was commanded by captain francis wagstaff leaving inishtrahull on september in early wagstaff was replaced by captain william robertson who died in after only making two voyages on the vessel the command was then given to her first officer james s ozanne but in captain ozanne handed over command to captain william h bennett following bennett s retirement her final voyage in loch vennachar was considered an unlucky ship narrowly surviving a cyclone in the indian ocean in june around pm on june the barometer began to fall ominously and the sail was promptly shortened at approximately am as darkness lifted it showed terrific head seas that swept down upon the vessel lashed by the northeast gale two large waves approached the ship loch vennachar rode the first wave and sank into the trough at the other side while in this position the second wave came on and broke on deck with such force that it broke the foremast mainmast and the mizzen topmast without her masts to steady her the loch vennachar rolled dangerously in heavy seas after days the weather eased and the crew were able to rig a spar forward and sail on the damaged mizzen after weeks of sailing she arrived at port louis mauritius although her stay repairs only took days to complete captain bennett was awarded the lloyd s medal for his leadership and bravery at sea loch vennachar suffered another serious accident on november after a collision with the ss cato in the thames estuary after arriving in the thames she anchored off the mucking light just before dawn she was cut down and holed on the starboard bow by cato with one hand being seriously injured she rapidly sank in feet of water but all hands along with the parrot and cat got clear safely she rested on the bottom of the thames for a month before being raised and repaired at considerable cost and again put back into service in the adelaide and melbourne trade despite her unlucky reputation she sailed between great britain and australia for years without further incident until her final voyage final voyage under the command of captain ws hawkins june on a routine voyage to adelaide she was laden with general cargo including a consignment of bricks on september loch vennachar was overtaken by ss yongala about miles west of the neptune islands and the captains exchanged all s well signals the captain of the yongala recorded that loch vennachar presented a pretty sight with her sails in full standing she sped along with every apparent prospect of reaching her port safely it was the last known sighting of loch vennachar on september the ketch annie watt arrived in adelaide and her captain reported picking up a reel of blue printing paper miles northwest of kangaroo island the paper was identified as part of loch vennachar s cargo three weeks later the sea began delivering scraps of her cargo to the jagged coast of kangaroo island which confirmed the disaster the steamer occasions to search for the wreck and any survivors weeks of searching by government and local fishing boats produced only flotsam and the body of a young seaman who was never identified he was buried in the sand hills of west bay the search was eventually abandoned on october at the time it was incorrectly concluded that loch vennachar was wrecked on young rocks a granite outcrop about miles ssw of cape gantheaume trying to make the backstairs passage crew of the final voyage the first list of persons likely to be on the ship at the time of her loss appeared in the news media in late september this list which contained names of individuals who could be either crew or passengers was compiled from letters waiting for collection by the ship at the offices of george wills amp co the ship s agent in adelaide a subsequent newspaper article advised that apprentices sc brown and robert andrews had respectively transferred from loch vennachar to despite their names being included on the previously published list in late

well known as one of the two survivors of the loch ard wrecking in and as his grandfather james pearce was the captain of ss gothenburg at the time of her loss in aftermath the loss of both loch vennachar and loch sloy convinced the marine board of south australia to argue for the bringing forward of a plan that it couedic its view was that the loss of both ships could have been avoided if a lighthouse had been operating at cape du couedic construction commenced in and the light was officially lit on june the northern headland of west bay was named vennachar point in the memory of the ship in discovery of the wreck site in february the suhr conducted a search for the wreck along the west coast of kangaroo island on february as conditions were unsuitable for underwater searching a terrestrial search was conducted along the base of the m ft high cliffs immediately north of west bay during this search a brick with the letters glasow on one of its faces was found when conditions had improved on february suhr divers brian marfleet doug seton and terry smith joined by kangaroo island divers chris and robert beckwith climbed down the cliff to enter the water at the location where the brick was found and later found the of the wreck site revealed that all of the anchors were still in place on the ship suggesting that no attempt had been made to prevent the ship s

his reign with a series of pyrrhic victories which could not save the empire and he abdicated on april in a paris occupied by the forces of the coalition the national guard ensured public order by wearing a white cockade abandoning the revolutionary tricolour cockade and it was on this corps that the returning bourbons chose to found their power rather than the imperial armies and their officers which they judged still to be too unreliable creation king louis xviii arrived in paris on may with his brother charles de bourbon comte dartois the future charles x it was then that little medals with the image of the new king and fleurs de lys on white ribbons began to circulate to reassure and appease the paris population one of the april created the dcoration du lys for the garde nationale of paris as a perpetual sign of the services it has rendered whether in fighting for their homes and charged alone on the night of march with ensuring paris s guard and safety preserving the king s capital for the king and the goods lives and honour of so many families or when occupying posts beside those of the troops of the line it rendered them an example of devotion and sacrifice or when despite this painful service it acted as the maison militaire du roi and granted the royal family the satisfaction of for their guard not being surrounded by the french by an order of the day on may king louis xviii approved the creation of the dcoration du lys extending it to all the gardes nationales of france it was awarded to the national guards after they took the following oath i swear fidelity to god and to the king forever the granting of patent assuring the loyalty of the social elite to the new monarchy thanks to this simple honour the award of the dcoration du lys would be extended again and again quickly starting to be awarded in all france s regions then royal officials granted them successively to generals ministers prefects and finally even mayors it was banned during the hundred days then reinstated on the second restoration only to be suppressed once and for all by an ordinance of louis philippe on february beneficiaries order of april the dcoration du lys was to be granted solely to the troops of the national guard of paris officers sousofficiers grenadiers or chasseurs who have justified their welldeserving them order of may the granting of the dcoration du lys was extended to all the national guards of france then it was awarded equally to officials of various administrations to notables to deputation members to highlevel and general

marked on the ribbon ordinance of august the ribbon of the garde nationale de paris became white with along each side a mm blue stripe ordinance of february each of the gardes nationales dpartementales bore the dcoration du lys on a ribbon specific to its department with only of france s departments retaining the white ribbon bars ordinance of may for civil holders the king authorised the wearing of a simple white ribbon sometimes with a threeband bar generally in silver but sometimes in gold representing a reduction of the croix du lys or a lily often crowned and bordered by two olive branches as with the croix du lys some le roi these bars were sometimes borne on the ribbon of the lgion dhonneur insignia ordinance of april a simple fleur de lys in silver ordinance of may a silver fleur de lys from the royal crown ruling of august after too many abuses of the insignia mostly eccentric the count of artois fixed the definitive rules for wearing the dcoration du lys may the grand chancellor of the lgion dhonneur recalled that the dcoration du lys having furnished a pretext for a multitude of abuses the king put its supervision under the grand chancellor he therefore recalled that this decoration must only be a simple silver fleur de lys hung from a white ribbon or of the colours set out for each of the departments of the kingdom the mania for ribbons and decorations the cupidity of some jewellers fantasies and imitating royal or foreign orders it was ruled that each ribbon must be worn only for one department and the simple longestablished fleur de lys was to be the only one allowed all the others were abolished and must disappear did an ordre du lys exist the dcoration du lys was often called the ordre du lys even if from it was controlled by the grand chancellory of the lgion dhonneur it never had a grand master or a chancellory of its own and is never called an order in the official documents dcoration de la fidlit in the national guards serving in paris in received the dcoration de la fidlit created by order of louis xviii on february to replace the dcoration du lys strictly speaking it was not a new decoration but mainly a

 atlantic history is a specialty field in history that studies of the atlantic world in the early modern period it is premised on the idea that following the rise of sustained european contact with the new world in the th century the continents that bordered the atlantic ocean the americas europe and africa constituted a regional system or common sphere of economic and cultural exchange that can be studied as a totality its theme is the complex interaction between europe britain france the iberian peninsula and the new world colonies it encompasses a wide range of demographic social economic political legal military intellectual and religious topics treated in comparative fashion by looking at both sides of the atlantic religious revivals characterized britain and germany as well as the first great awakening in the american colonies migration and raceslavery have been important topics practitioners of atlantic history typically focus on the interconnections and exchanges between these regions and the civilizations they harbored in particular determined the limits of older historiography should not be applied to such transnational phenomena as slavery colonialism missionary activity and economic expansion environmental history and the study of historical demography also play an important role as many key questions in the field revolve around the ecological and epidemiological impact of the columbian exchange robert r palmer an american historian of the french revolution pioneered the concept in the s with a wideranging comparative history of how numerous nations experienced what he called the the age of the democratic revolution a political history of europe and america and since the s atlantic history has emerged as an increasingly popular alternative to the older discipline of imperial history although it could be argued that the field is simply a refinement and reorientation of traditional historiography dealing with the interaction between early modern europeans and native peoples in the atlantic sphere the organization of atlantic history as a recognized area of historiography began in the s under the impetus of american historians bernard hopkins university among others the postworld war ii integration of the european union and the continuing importance of nato played an indirect role in stimulating interest throughout the s bailyn bailyn s seminar on the history of the atlantic world promoted social and demographic studies and especially regarding demographic flows of population into colonial america as a leading advocate of the history of the atlantic world bailyn has organized an annual international seminar at harvard designed to promote scholarship in this field bailyn s atlantic history concepts and contours explores the borders and contents of the emerging field which emphasizes cosmopolitan and multicultural elements that have tended to be neglected or considered in isolation by traditional historiography dealing with the americas bailyn s reflections stem in part from his seminar at harvard since the mids greene directed a program at johns hopkins in atlantic history from to that has now expanded to global concerns other scholars in the field include john coombs anthony grafton felipe armestomestre anthony john huxtable elliott carla g pestana isaac land and jorge canizaresesguerra perspectives games explores the convergence of the multiple strands of scholarly interest that have generated the new field of atlantic history which takes as its geographic unit of analysis the atlantic ocean and the four continents that surround it she argues atlantic history is best approached as a slice of world history the atlantic moreover is a region that has logic as a unit of historical analysis only within a limited chronology an atlantic perspective can help historians understand changes within the region that a more limited geographic framework might obscure attempts to write a braudelian atlantic history one that includes and connects the entire region remain elusive driven in part by methodological impediments by the real disjunctions that characterized the atlantic s historical and geographic components by the disciplinary divisions that discourage historians from speaking to and writing for each other and by the challenge of finding a vantage point that is not rooted in any single place began with the historians of slavery who started tracking the flows of slaves from africa to the new world in the s a second source came from historians of colonial america many were trained in early modern european history and were familiar with the historiography regarding england and the british empire which had been introduced a century before by george louis beer and charles mclean andrews colonialists have long been open to interdisciplinary perspectives such as comparative approaches in addition there was a frustration involved in writing about very few people in a small remote colony atlantic history opens the horizon to large forces at work over great distances criticism some critics have complained that atlantic history is little more than imperial history under another name others argue that it is simultaneously too expansive pretending to subsume both of the american continents africa and europe without seriously engaging with them and too small arbitrarily isolating the atlantic from other bodies of water steele a canadian scholar argues that myths while offering historical support for such policies as the north american free trade agreement nafta the organization of american states nato north atlantic treaty organization the new europe christendom and even the united nations he concludes the early modern atlantic can even be read as a natural antechamber for americanled globalization of capitalism and serve as an historical challenge to the coalescing new europe no wonder that the academic reception

 sofia noorbakshia also called nubakshia is an islamic sect and the sufi order and way that claims to trace its direct spiritual lineage and chain silsilah to the islamic prophet muhammad through ali muhammad s cousin soninlaw and the first imam via imam ali alridha in contrast most other sufi paths trace their lineage through ali this order became famous as nurbakshi after shah syed muhammad nurbakhsh qahistani who was attached with kubrawiya order sufi order tariqa etymology sufia two origins of the word sufi have been suggested commonly the lexical root of the word is traced to af which in arabic means purity another origin is f wool referring to the simple cloaks the early muslim ascetics wore the nurbakshi order is one of the sufi order and way that claims to trace its direct spiritual lineage and chain silsilah to the islamic prophet muhammad through ali muhammad s cousin soninlaw and the this sect became famous as noorbakshia after shah syed muhammad nurbakhsh qahistani who wrote two important books alfiqh alahwat fiqh and kitab alaitiqadia faith which made this sect distinguish from other islamic sects doctrine the most important sources of noorbakhshi doctrines are three books the alfiqh alahwat meaning superlatively precautionary jurisprudence the kitab alaitiqadia meaning book of faith or doctrines these books are written by shah syed muhammad nurbakhsh qahistani and dawatesofia written by ameer kabir syed ali hamdani the founder of sufia nurbakhshiya school of thought of islam history nurbakhshiya emerged in the th century kashmir and baltistan as a branch of the kubrawiya sufi order it was in the valley of kashmir and in baltistan where the nurbakhshiya gained their greatest prominence in the early th century this was due to the missionary efforts of mir sham uddin iraqi himself a disciple of sayyid muhammad nurbkhsh s son and spiritual heir shah qasim faizbakhsh in its country of origin iran the order became outright shia some decades the state in and the same happened in kashmir either during the lifetime of shams uddin iraqi who died in or in the following decades during the brief interlude of the chak dynasty s reign but in baltistan the nurbakhshiya has survived until this day as a sect with doctrines of its own combining elements of both shiism and sunni islam ghousulalmutakharin sayyid al arifin mir sayyid muhammad nurbakhsh was the th century missionary sufi master on whom the researchers have paid less attention that is why we could not trace a detailed biography on his life although nurbakhsh had many scholardisciples including assiri lahiji but none of his disciples made any serious effort to write nurbakhsh s biography and to preserve his teachings however it is a wonderful miracle that hundreds of thousand of his followers are still present in a very farflung and the most backward areas of islamic republic of pakistan who are practising his teachings in its entirety and who are the custodians of his works and teachings even these days when five centuries the practices are not an assemblage of his personal view but the practices were originally conceived to him from islamic prophet muhammad through the masters of the spiritual chain they state that if anyone feels doubt in this connection they would invite them to travel on the long road through the history of mysticism and to compare it with that of nurbakhshs teachings history the sofia noorbakhshiya has emerged in the th century in iran as a branch of the kubrawiya sufi order a similar controversy has later developed about the religious affiliation of sayyid muhammad noorbakhsh who had been a disciple of mir sayyid ali hamadani principal successor khwaja ishaq khuttalani and who became the founder and eponymous of a new branch of the kubrawiya noorbakhshis doctrines were preached in kashmir and baltistan in the early th century by mir sham uddin iraqi himself a disciple of sayyid muhammad noorbakhshis s son and spiritual heir shah qasim faidbakhsh massacre of nurbakshi in kashmir the dominance of sunni islam in kashmir after the period of nurbakshi influence three was restored sent fiqh alahwat to the sunni ulema for their analysis which resulted a condemnatory fatwa by the ulema in order to annihilate the nurbakshi order and cleanse kashmir mir danial shaheed and other great personalities were killed the onslought against the nurbakshia led to much bloodshed and much decimation of the once popular order baltistan the nurbakshi people survived much longer in baltistan which was after all an extremely remote region there is little doubt that the nurbakhshia order spread in baltistan after twelver shiism but following the pattern of iran and kashmir the latter has gradually absorbed the former a puzzling question remains how and at what time the transformation from noorbakhshis to shiism took place in the valley of skardu the political center of baltistanwhile the th century shardu rulers ghazi mir and ali sher khan anchan are generally being portrayed as shia in history books noorbakhshis point at the construction of a large khanah in gamba near skardu as late as to prove their strong presence in the skardu valley at that time are belongs to noorbakshi sect while a noteable size of nurbakshi muslims are settled in different cities of pakistan like karachi islamabad lahore peshawar and quetta etc where they have their own mosque and marissa nurbakhshis are known as peaceful tolerable and moderates who not only equally respect other muslim school of thoughts but also stress upon to behave human beings lovely basic concepts and pillers of islam according to nurbakshi muslims this faith is related to quran surah al baqarah contrary to ithnaasheri shia islam nurbakshi islam has five articles of faith which are identical to sunni muslims but known as the five pillars of iman that all nurbakshi muslims are united upon in belief along with the many key points of creed mentioned in usooleataqadiah also nurbaksi muslims do not believe in taqiyah nor do they accept the practice of mutah basic concepts usooledeen monotheism of one god

 othercta and pace buses oaktonskokie is a rapid transit station on the chicago transit authority s yellow line which serves skokie s downtown previously a station existed at this location which was in operation as part of the cta s niles center route from until and later demolished in the current station opened on april history in the s both the chicago rapid transit company and the north shore line an interurban railroad linking chicago and milwaukee existed under the private ownership of samuel insull the north shore line s original route to milwaukee ran through numerous north shore communities that had become densely settled in order to provide faster service between chicago and milwaukee the north shore line decided to build a highspeed bypass several miles west of its original line the new route would traverse the skokie valley and converge with the l at howard in an attempt to encourage development in the village of niles center on the southern portion of the transit service as far as dempster street the new niles center route included several intermediate stations served only by the chicago rapid transit company including one at oakton street just a few blocks from the intersection of lincoln avenue and oakton street where the business district of niles center was forming arthur u gerber staff architect for samuel insull designed the station in the prairie school style similar to the dempster station at the end of the line the station at oakton was smaller and set between the tracks with a single highlevel island platform projecting from the rear of the station house the line entered operation on march but did not encourage much development before the great depression and world war ii put a halt to building activity for nearly years the niles center service remained unprofitable in when the privately owned chicago rapid transit company was subsumed into the public chicago transit authority and on march rapid transit service was terminated and replaced with the skokie closed except for dempster where north shore line service continued until the company went out of business in on monday april the chicago transit authority reinstated service on the niles center branch as a nonstop shuttle between howard and dempster dubbed the skokie swift no station was located at oakton even though it is only one block from skokie s central business district reconstruction since the swift began operating in there has been interest on the part of the village of skokie and its citizens to reestablish at least one of the local stations the most likely candidate to return was oakton because of its location near skokie s downtown and its potential to generate the most traffic a study commissioned by the village of skokie and completed in fall recommended establishing a stop at oakton village officials discussed and planned for a downtown skokie swift station for more than five years more recently style and design in early the village received in a covers about percent of design costs for the station the village would pick up the remainder about according to village director of engineering fred schattner then in mid village staff submitted a grant proposal to the federal congestion mitigation and air quality grant program which provides funds for projects that contribute to traffic congestion relief and cleaner air quality in late november the skokie secured a million federal grant for the village s downtown skokie swift project with the help of us rep jan schakowsky dth then in early december skokie learned they would receive an additional million in federal grant funds to construct the station the entire project is estimated to cost about million including any land acquisition needed which means the village had by this time secured more than twothirds of the funding skokie mayor van dusen has said he is exploring options to help pay for some or all of the remaining cost location the station is located on the site of north of oakton street and adjacent to the new illinois science technology park the village sought proposals from firms for design work for the new station eventually awarding the contract to mcdonough associates construction of the new downtown station was expected to begin in and officials estimated the station would be completed in or issues of financing delayed the project as various funding sources were secured and later issues of land acquisition delayed the project further finally in after extensive deliberation the village of skokie initiated eminent domain proceedings against two landowners an auto repair shop and a truck rental business to make room adjacent to the station for a kiss and ride area a bus turnaround and a taxi dropoff area a groundbreaking ceremony took place at the adjacent illinois science technology park on june on june the chicago transit board revealed that the name of the station would be oaktonskokie naming of the station was done concurrently

evanston il who with architect alfred had originally opened in just north of chicago webster also designed stronghold castle a replica of a european castle which was built by walter strong then publisher of the chicago daily news it is now a conference center owned by the local presbytery of the presbyterian church innis later moved to california with his younger brother artist and writer w joe innis impressed by the look and the scope of the beautiful san francisco horizon innis settled in the bay area in california innis went to work for falkon booth architects in san francisco innis worked his way up the ladder quickly at falkon booth becoming a draftsman and then drafting designer when around he received notice that he had been drafted by the u s army for two different service calls innis had previously served seven and a half years in the navy reserve beginning shortly after high school while a navy reservist working on airplanes innis accidentally fell off a wing of an airplane injured his back and was work was not filed and innis was unable to get a medical discharge from the navy the orders for innis to return to duty came from the army looking for recruits for

down broadway street the harbor seafood mart at the embarcadero and the redesign of the red sails inn on shelter island in innis retired from innistennebaum to create float inc and pursue his dream project of a floating airport floating airport s airport innis realized that the airport could not expand to meet future needs while at its current location the new site would need to be close to the current airport and population centers and accessible there was only one answer it would need to be built on the water to achieve a platform large enough to operate an international airport about acres the technology needed to be invented to float that kind of structure a concrete structure using air for buoyancy became the psp patent in float incorporated was founded by innis and three partners to develop this plan the psp technology innis invented uses air movement to reduce wave loads and distribute them through the platform a platform that could be used to house offshore airports oil and gas production facilities floating islands military bases and additional real estate for coastal cities the technology enables the platform to extract energy from ocean waves to create electricity and is less costly than most currently used large open ocean platforms division took an interest in the psp s potential to serve as a floating military base and awarded float inc a million contract with the defense advanced research project agency darpa in august to test psp extensive numerical modeling was performed along with two series of wave tank tests the second series of tests at th scale was focused on air exchange a final scientific report on the test results was submitted to the office of naval research onr in december the floating airport for san diego has been dismissed as outlandish logistically ludicrous impractical and expensive the idea has not found favor with san diego authorities although innis and his associates at float inc continue to pursue the idea

 typerevolver in mm in mm in mm long rifle special long colt introduced to the firearms market in the colt official police is a medium frame sixshot doubleaction revolver with a sixround cylinder primarily chambered for the special cartridge and manufactured by the colt s manufacturing company the intended specific target market for the official police was mainly law enforcement agencies and it became one of the best selling police firearms of all time eventually in the s coming to exemplify typical peace officer weaponry the official police was also used by various us and allied military forces during world war ii development and history as the th century began the older caliber revolvers which had been standardissue for the majority of american police departments began to be phased out in favor of the largerbore caliber in colt introduced a sleek and modernized revolver they dubbed the time and popular special quickly became the issue service revolver of many departments during the same period revolvers began to fall out of favor with the us military especially after the adoption on the us model of semiautomatic pistol as military sales of their revolvers dropped off colt searched for an alternative market and realized the popularity and strong sales of their product line with civilian law enforcement agencies could form their replacement market by the overwhelming sales of two popular models the army special and colt police positive had assured colts dominance of the law enforcement firearms market colts marketing strategy was further finetuned by making a few superficial alterations to the army special revolver and then renaming it as the official police model the changes included adding checkering to the trigger and cylinder latch matting the topstrap of the frame and widening the rear sight groove colt also upgraded the quality of the guns finish from a dull blued finish to a highly polished blued surface in colt scored a could easily handle the firing of heavilyloaded rounds intended for competitor smith amp wesson s new large nframe revolver the none of the comparable sampw revolvers could manage this feat by the colt sales catalog listed many law enforcement agencies as having adopted the op as a sidearm including the new york city los angeles chicago and kansas city police departments in addition many state police organizations and even the federal bureau of investigation chose the op as their issue revolver the us army also bought some of the revolvers issuing them to military police and to federal agencies in need of a revolver for their armed agents such as the treasury department coast guard and the postal inspection service many official police revolvers were also bought by the police forces and militaries of various south american countries between may and june official police revolvers in new police or caliber were purchased by the british purchasing commission and shipped to the united kingdom for use by british these revolvers bore british military acceptance markings and had a barrel the butt was fitted with a militarystyle lanyard ring most of these op revolvers were assembled from commercialgrade parts made before when the us became involved in world war ii the us government requested contracts to supply revolvers required for arming security personnel charged with the security of government buildings shipyards and defense plant installations against sabotage or theft commencing in small quantities of the colt official police were procured directly from the defense supplies corporation dsc when government purchasing officials objected to production delays of the op as well as the unit cost colt responded by simplifying the gun savings were achieved by eliminating all unnecessary exterior polishing operations substituting a smoothface trigger and hammer and fitting the gun with simplified checkered wood grips with the colt medallion the latter was soon replaced by coltwood molded plastic grips instead of the normal bluing the revolver was given a dull parkerized finish dubbed was primarily used to arm units of military police security guards at us defense plant installations and shipyards as well as limited clandestine issue to agencies involved in overseas espionage and military intelligence in mid the springfield ordnance district sod was given control over procurement and distribution of the commando which transferred the revolvers to the end user a few commandos were shipped to the us maritime commission and used as small arms equipment on us merchant ships and ships provided to the allies under lendlease most commando wartime production went to the defense supplies corporation dsc for use by security and police forces while approximately commandos were used by the us navy with another revolvers distributed to various military intelligence agencies control over procurement changed in after the dsc formally objected to being charged additional handling fees by the armed forces and was then authorized to procure the commando directly from colt after the allied victory colt resumed commercial production and returned to the prewar polished blued finish when the checkered wooden grips were reintroduced during the postwar period colt fell on difficult financial times and the company introduced few new models at smith amp wesson both output and new model civilian and police sales improved and the sales margin gap between the two corporations progressively tightened finally in the s sampw took over the lead a contributing factor to this change may have been smith amp wesson s generally lower cost per unit accompanied by a doubleaction trigger pull on their military amp police model that was preferred by many agencies teaching the new combatoriented doubleaction revolver training colt announced the discontinuation of the official police in stating that competitive production of the design was no longer economically feasible with a total production of over pistols the official police ranks as one of the most successful handguns ever made features the official police was machined of fine carbon steel with bright royal colt blued as well as nickel plated finishes and was offered in and in it was manufactured in a variety of chamberings including lr discontinued in long colt discontinued in and the most common and popular the special colts positive lock firing pin block safety was a standard feature of the revolver preventing the firing pin from striking the primer unless the trigger was deliberately pulled the pistols sights consisted of a blade front with a fixed iron open rear sight which was a simple vnotch shaped groove milled into the revolvers top strap the top strap had a matte finish to reduce glare down the sight plane variants commando the commando was a wartime variant of the official police manufactured with either a two or four inch barrel and incorporating several production economies including a nongloss parkerized finish the commando also lacked the usual metal checkering on the hammer trigger and cylinder latch as well as the reflectiondeadening treatment of the commercial versions top strap in addition plastic material replaced the wood were purchased by the government during the war of this total approximately commando revolvers were issued to various intelligence services such as us military intelligence and the office of strategic services oss many of the latter were procured with the twoinch barrel referred to as the junior commando regular production deliveries of twoinch junior commando revolvers began in march at approximately serial number more than of the twoinch commandos encountered today are actually postwar conversions from fourinch models produced during the war marshal a rare variant featuring a rounded grip with barrel lengths of two and four inches with a very limited production run of units produced from the marshal became a true collectable mk iii the moniker official police was borrowed by one model in a new generation of revolvers colt introduced in the lates called the mk iii series mk iii models consisted of simpler versions of several classic colt revolvers with updated lockwork the mk iii product line was actually a different which failed to attain commercial success and was cancelled after only three years

 cardiff docks is a port in southern cardiff wales at its peak the port was one of the largest dock systems in the world with a total quayage of almost km mi once the main port for the export of south wales coal the port of cardiff remains active in the import and export of containers steel forest products and dry and liquid bulks history following the development of the coal found in the cynon and rhondda valley s and merthyr area of south wales the export of both coal and iron products required a sea connection to the bristol channel if economic volumes of product were to be created in the glamorganshire canal was completed linking the then small town of cardiff with merthyr and in a basin was built connecting the canal to the sea by the s cardiff became the preeminent ironexporting port shipping almost half of british overseas iron exports between and the volume of coal exports increased from agitation for proper dock facilities led cardiff s foremost landowner john crichtonstuart nd marquess of bute to promote the construction of the west bute dock designed by admiral william henry smyth and opened in october just two years later the taff vale railway was opened following much the same route as the canal with the construction of the new east bute dock from designed by james walker of messrs walker amp burges and built by thomas cubitt s firm its opening in resulted in coal supplanting iron as the industrial foundation of south wales with exports reaching million tons as early as queen alexandra dock frustration at the lack of development at cardiff led to rival docks being opened at penarth in and barry wales in these developments eventually spurred cardiff into action with the opening of the roath dock in and the queen alexandra dock in by then coal exports from the south wales coalfield via cardiff totalled nearly in the holds of locallyowned tramp steamers by this had risen to tons making cardiff the biggest coal exporting dock in the world shipping cardiff s first steamship was the llandaff of and by there were some tramp steamers owned at cardiff by prominent firms such as william cory amp son morel evan thomas radcliffe tatem and reardonsmith each day the principals of these companies would meet to arrange cargoes of coal for their ships in the opulent coal exchange in mount stuart square this trade reached its pinnacle in when million tons of coal were exported from the port after the first world war there was a boom in shipping in cardiff with shipping companies in existence in the boom proved shortlived however oil was growing in importance as a maritime fuel and the terms of the treaty of versailles soon flooded europe with cheap german reparation coal railways the taff vale railway was built docks its headquarters were a currently derelict building in cardiff bay railway station the building was turned into a railway heritage centre in by the butetown historic railway society by the society had started to run steam locomotive hauled passenger services up and down metres of track however as the cardiff bay development corporation had no interest in the railway the society changed its name to the vale of glamorgan railway and moved from the site in to barry island railway station decline from onwards capacity issues meant that the more modern and less tidal barry docks took over as the largest volume export point of coal until the early s cardiff docks continued to boom as a location for shipping companies but the fall in demand for welsh coal caused a dramatic fall in exports by in the depths of the great depression which followed the general strike in coal exports had fallen to below million tonnes and dozens of locally owned ships were laidup despite and the attentions of the nazi german luftwaffe during the cardiff blitz coal exports continued to decline finally ceasing in in imports outstripped exports for the first time in the port s history the s saw a shortterm import boom and in the s the port experienced a slight rise in traffic while much of the former port area began to be regenerated into nonport uses the port found a niche as an important local centre for general cargo operations modern port facilities cardiff now has three operational docks capable of handling ships of up to tons deadweight the port has transit sheds with m sqft of storage space two overland distribution sheds totalling m sqft and two timber sheds totalling m sqft two specialist steel sheds with overhead gantry cranes totalling m sqft there are quayside cranes plus a range of mobile cranes cardiff s specialised facilities include a distribution terminal and chill and cold storage for perishables tiger bay tiger bay was a local phrase deriving from the area s roughandtumble reputation merchant seamen arrived in cardiff from all over the world only staying for as long as it took to discharge and reload their ships consequently many murders and lesser crimes went unsolved and unpunished the perpetrators having sailed for other ports in victorian times the name tiger bay was used in popular literature and slang especially that of sailors to denote any dock or seaside neighborhood which shared a similar notoriety for danger cardiff bay the cardiff bay development corporation was created in to counter the effects of economic depression in this rundown area today the port of cardiff and what is now known as cardiff bay has been totally transformed by the cardiff barrage that impounds the rivers taff and the ely to create a massive freshwater lake across to penarth head only two docks the roath and the queen alexandra remain in use and just two shipping companies remain albeit buoyant with their worldwide interests shipping movements varying from a couple trade

 the united states presidential election in nebraska took place on november as part of the united states presidential election voters chose electors to the electoral college who voted for president and vice president however this state is one of the two states of the us that instead of giving all of its electors to the winner based on its statewide results just of them vote based on the statewide results and the others vote based on their individual congressional district results nebraska statewide was not a swing state in located in the great plains of the united states it is one of the most staunchly republican states in the country while some hypothetical general election matchup polls between republican john mccain and democrat barack obama showed the race to be seemingly close they were largely regarded as outliers as more polls released showed mccain leading in double digits mccain wound up carrying the popular vote in nebraska by points taking in of mccain in nebraska s nd congressional district which contains omaha and the surrounding areas due to nebraska s system of proportionally allocating electoral votes obama was able to win one electoral vote while john mccain received the state s other four electoral votes primaries amp caucuses nebraska democratic caucuses nebraska republican primary campaign statewide polling mccain won every single preelection poll since may he won each poll by a double digit margin of victory and each with at least of the vote fundraising john mccain raised a total of in the state while barack obama raised advertising and visits obama spent while mccain and the republican trust pac spent a total of just both obama and mccain visited the state once obama held a downtown rally at omaha and mccain traveled to both omaha and ashland palin also visited omaha once campaign in omaha nebraska has two electoral votes that go to the winner of the popular vote based on whichever candidate wins the popular vote in each of nebraska s three congressional districts all of which have trended republican in the past elections however nebraska s nd congressional district based in the city of omaha is significantly less conservative the second cd of nebraska was actually considered as a battleground area by some leading the obama campaign to open a single campaign office in omaha with staff members to cover the congressional district in september more than people attended the opening of those offices democratic mayor mike fahey of omaha said that he would do whatever it takes to deliver the electoral vote tied to the nd congressional district to obama and the obama campaign considered nebraska s nd congressional district in play former democratic us senator bob kerrey and then senior us senator ben nelson campaigned in the city for obama analysis nebraska part of the conservative great plains region is one of the most republican states in the nation it has only gone democratic in a presidential election mccain won the cornhusker state by nearly points obama was only able to win four counties douglas county which contains omaha lancaster county which contains the state capital of lincoln and the university of nebraska saline county and thurston county which contains a native american reservation and was the only county to be won by john kerry in no democratic presidential nominee since lyndon b johnson s landslide victory has ever won more than four counties in nebraska in mccain won nebraska s st congressional district and nebraska s rd congressional district by fairly safe margins along with the state as a whole but obama managed to carry nebraska s nd congressional district based in omaha by a slim margin of votes resulting in one of nebraska s five electoral votes being awarded to obama this was a particularly notable win because with nebraska s split electoral vote system obama became the first democratic presidential candidate to win an electoral vote from nebraska since obama did douglas and lancaster while john kerry had lost these counties by doubledigits obama was able to carve out small victories in a state he lost by a landslide during the same election republicans held the open us senate seat vacated by republican chuck hagel who retired former republican governor mike johanns easily defeated democrat scott kleeb a rancher by points johanns received

 wild silks have been known and used in many countries from early times although the scale of production is far smaller than that from cultivated silkworms background wild silk should not be confused with the very rare sea silk which is produced from the fibres or byssus produced by the seashell pinna nobilis and related species commercially reared silkworms of the species bombyx mori linnaeus are normally killed before the pupae emerge either by pricking them with a needle or dipping the cocoons into boiling water thus allowing the whole cocoon to be unravelled as one continuous thread this allows a much finer cloth to be woven from the silk there are more than species of wild silkworms in the world although only a few are used to produce cloth they usually produce a tougher and rougher silk than that from domesticated bombyx mori silkworms wild silks are usually harvested after the moths have left the cocoons cutting not one long thread as with domesticated silkworms wild silks are more difficult to bleach and dye than silk from bombyx mori but most have naturally attractive colours particularly the rich golden sheen of the silk produced by the muga silkworm from assam often known as assam silk the cocoon shells of wild silk moths are toughened or stabilized either by tanning crosslinking or by mineral reinforcements eg calcium oxalate recently a new method has been developed demineralizing which can remove the mineral reinforcements present in wild silks and enables wet reeling like the commercial silkworm bombyx mori wild silk industry in india wild silks are often referred to in india as vanya silks the term vanya is of sanskrit origin meaning untamed wild or forestbased muga tasar and eri silkworms are not fully tamed and the world lovingly calls the silks they produce as wild silks p india muga and eri the silkworm bombyx mori is fed on mulberry leaves cultivated in plantations silkworms are also found wild on forest trees eg antheraea paphia which produces the tasar silk tussah antheraea paphia feeds on several trees such as anogeissus latifolia terminalia tomentosa t arjuna terminalia arjuna lagerstroemia parviflora and madhuca indica wild silkworm antheraea assamensis produces muga silk and another wild silkworm philosamia synthia ricini samia cynthia produces eri silk the estimated annual production of tasar silk is tonnes production of other types of silk exceeds tonnes gupta p the eri silk worm from india feeds on the leaves of the castor plant it is the only completely domesticated silkworm other than but can not be easily reeled off the cocoon and is thus spun like cotton or wool wild silk industry in china some of the best quality wild silk is produced by silkworms from honan which is the only type of wild silk that can be easily dyed history wild silk threads have been found and identified from two indus river sites harappa and chanhudaro dating to c bce this is roughly the same period as the earliest evidence of silk use in china which is generally thought to have had the oldest silk industry in the world the specimens of threads from harappa appear on scanning electron microscope analysis to be from two different species of silk moth antheraea mylitta and a assamensis while the silk from chanhudaro may be from a philosamia species eri silk and this silk appears to have been reeled wild silks were in use in china from early times moreover empire and apparently imported goods made from them by the time of the later han dynasty in the st to rd centuries ce there are significant indications in the literature that wild silks were in use in persia and in greece by the late th century bce apparently referred to as amorgina or amorgian garments in greece pliny the elder in the st century ce obviously had some knowledge of how wild silkworms cocoons were produced and utilised on the island of kos for coa vestis even though his account included some fanciful ideas list of some wild silk moths and their silk antheraea assamensis helfer from assam its silk has a beautiful glossy golden hue which improves with age and washing is never bleached or dyed and is stain resistant was reserved for the exclusive use of royal families in assam for years antheraea mylitta drury the tasar silkworm the chinese tussah moth the colour and quality of the silk depends on the climate and soil antheraea polyphemus has the most potential of any north american silkworms antheraea yamamai gunerinmneville the tensan silk moth has been cultivated in japan for more than years it produces a

 poem of the sufi way or nazm alsuluk is a poem by the sufi mystic and scholar shayk umar ibn alfarid an exact date of the poem s writing is unknown as umar ibn alfarid ad is said to have written this text during the course of many years widely remarked as umar ibn alfarid s most famous work the poem itself is one of the longest pieces of sufi literature to date and is still held in high regard by modern sufi practitioners it is verses long it is often referred to as altaiyya alkubra the greater poem rhyming in t to differentiate it from a shorter ode that also rhymes in t the title can also be translated to the poem of progress origins the origins of this work are shrouded in mythology most accounts of the poem s construction derive from shayk ibn alfarid s grandson ali sibt ibn alfarid in his biographical work adorned heralding his grandfather s legacy and many of the stories surrounding it according to ali umar ibn alfarid would fall into deathlike trances for days then recover and spontaneously recite verses directly inspired by god these verses were then collected to form this long ode in another story related by ali it is said that umar received instruction from the prophet muhammed himself requesting that he title it as the poem of the sufi way instead of the original title intended by umar ibn alfarid the diaries of hearts and the gardens sweet scents content the poem itself is designed to demonstrate a pluralistic and mystical connection to god or allah initially the poem likens the pursuit of god s love to the pursuit of a female written from the man s perspective the narrator becomes increasingly humbled throughout the poem and after much desperation and awe the link to the narrator s lover or god becomes obscured to the point of total cohesion this felt characteristically sufi yet it is also an area of critique from muslim orthodoxies who label such possibility of equality with god as heresy translation the translation of the poem is known for its difficulty there are many puns based on variations of the threeconsonant radical of most arabic words as was custom to the mannerist badia poetry of the time thematic material as expected from a poem of such length the poem of the sufi way covers many different themes and draws on many different backgrounds as michael sells writes in the preface to umar ibn alfarid sufi verse saintly life the poem of the sufi way is a microcosm of islamic tradition at the time of ibn alfarid a preliminary list of central themes of the poem would include the following the famous lovers of classical arabic poetry key themes and passages from the quran and from the hadith the stories of the quranic prophets the stories of the four rightly guided caliphs mystical interpretations of such as the preeternal covenant worlds of esoteric science alchemy astrology divination numerology the psychology of sufi states of altered consciousness the stations of muhammad s miraj or the mystic in his or her journey to the divine beloved and interpretations of key mystical concepts such as fana the passingaway of the human self in mystical union with the divine commentaries its importance has merited many commentaries including ones by including alfarghn d alqshn d alqaysar d jm d albrn d and alnbulus d once an unknown religious scholar asked the shaykh s permission to write a commentary on the poem of the sufi way ibn alfarid asked how long the commentary would be when the scholar replied that it would fill two volumes ibn alfarid replied that he could compose a twovolume commentary on each verse notes

 the thaumasia quadrangle is one of a series of quadrangle maps of mars used by the united states geological survey usgs astrogeology research program the thaumasia quadrangle is also referred to as mc mars chart the thaumasia quadrangle covers the area from to west longitude and to south latitude on mars one of the first major networks of stream channels called warrego valles were discovered here by early orbiters another sign of water is the presence of gullies carved into steep slopes martian gullies gullies are common in some parts of mars gullies occur on steep slopes especially on the walls of craters martian gullies are believed to be relatively young because they have few if any craters moreover they lie on top of sand dunes which themselves are considered to be quite young usually each gully has an alcove channel and apron some studies have found that gullies occur on slopes that face all directions others have poleward facing slopes especially from s although many ideas have been put forward to explain them the most popular involve liquid water coming from an aquifer from melting at the base of old glaciers or from the melting of ice in the ground when the climate was warmer because of the good possibility that liquid water was involved with their formation and that they could be very young scientists are excited maybe the gullies are where we should go to find life there is evidence for all three theories most of the gully alcove heads occur at the same level just as one would expect of an aquifer various measurements and calculations show that liquid water could exist in aquifers at the usual depths where gullies begin one variation of this model is that rising hot magma could have melted ice in the ground and caused water to flow in aquifers aquifers are layer that allow water to flow they may consist of porous sandstone the aquifer layer would be perched on top of another terms it would be called impermeable because water in an aquifer is prevented from going down the only direction the trapped water can flow is horizontally eventually water could flow out onto the surface when the aquifer reaches a breaklike a crater wall the resulting flow of water could erode the wall to create gullies aquifers are quite common on earth a good example is weeping rock in zion national park utah as for the next theory much of the surface of mars is covered by a thick smooth mantle that is thought to be a mixture of ice and dust this icerich mantle a few yards thick smoothes the land but in places it has a bumpy texture resembling the surface of a basketball the mantle may be like a glacier and under certain conditions the ice that is mixed in the mantle could melt and flow down the slopes and make gullies because there are few craters on this mantle the mantle is relatively young an excellent view of this crater rim as seen by hirise the icerich mantle may be the result of climate changes changes in mars s orbit and tilt cause significant changes in the distribution of water ice from polar regions down to latitudes equivalent to texas during certain climate periods water vapor leaves polar ice and enters the atmosphere the water comes back to ground at lower latitudes as deposits of frost or snow mixed generously with dust the atmosphere of mars contains a great deal of fine dust particles water vapor will condense on the particles then fall down to the ground due to the additional weight of the water coating when mars is at its greatest tilt or obliquity up to cm of ice could be removed from the summer ice cap and deposited at midlatitudes this movement of water could last for several thousand years and create a snow layer of up to around meters thick when ice at the top of the mantling layer goes back into the atmosphere it leaves behind dust which insulating the support the idea that snowpacks or glaciers are associated with gullies steeper slopes have more shade which would preserve snow higher elevations have far fewer gullies because ice would tend to sublimate more in the thin air of the higher altitude very few gullies are found in the thaumasia region however a few are present in the lower elevations like the one pictured below in ross crater gallery imagecontext for gullies in ross craterjpgctx image of part of ross crater showing context for next image

this example is not consistent with the model of gullies being caused by aquifers toolong of gullies as seen by hirise under the hiwish program imagemultiple channels in jpgenlargement of part of previous image showing smaller gullies inside larger ones water probably flowed in these gullies more than once gallery the third theory might be possible in the ground to melt and thus form the gullies during a warmer climate the first few meters of ground could thaw and produce a debris flow similar to those on the dry and cold greenland east coast since the gullies occur on steep slopes only a small decrease of the shear strength of the soil particles is needed to begin the flow small amounts of liquid water from melted ground ice could be enough calculations show that a third of a mm of runoff can be produced each day for days of each martian year even under current conditions sand dunes many places on mars have sand dunes some craters in thaumasia show dark blotches in them

evidence that mars may have once been warmer wetter and perhaps had precipitation in the form of rain or snow a study with the mars orbiter laser altimeter thermal emission imaging system themis and the mars orbiter camera moc support the idea that warrego valles was formed from precitation at first glance they resemble river valleys on our earth but sharper images from more advanced cameras

 cyclic succession is a pattern of vegetation change in which in a small number of species tend to replace each other over time in the absence of largescale disturbance observations of cyclic replacement have provided evidence against traditional clementsian views of an endstate climax community with stable species compositions cyclic succession is one of several kinds of ecological succession a concept in community ecology when used narrowly cyclic succession refers to processes not initiated by wholesale exogenous disturbances or longterm physical changes in the environment however broader cyclic processes can also be observed in cases of secondary succession in which regular disturbances such as insect outbreaks can reset an entire community to a previous stage these examples differ from the classic cases of cyclic succession discussed below in that entire species groups are exchanged as opposed to one species for another on geologic time scales climate cycles can result in cyclic vegetation changes by directly altering the physical environment history the cyclic model of succession was proposed in by british ecologist alexander watt heath and bog communities watt describes the plant community is a regenerating entity consisting of a spacetime mosaic of species whose cyclic behavior can be characterized by patch dynamics based on the current composition and its corresponding stage of succession he explains a community can either be in an upgrade phase toward latesuccessional shrubs or downgrade degenerate phase toward grasses these phases would occur in a predictable cycle watts study has since become a classic example frequently cited in scientific ecology modeling cyclic succession the cyclic model of succession can be displayed in terms of a transition matrix based on the markov chain the matrix describes the likelihood of future states based on the milieu of present states the three states in the simplest cyclic model are open substrate usually a bare patch of land species a dominance and species b dominance with respect to facilitation inhibition and tolerance models of succession the key feature of the cyclic model is that a and b are not autosuccessional that rather a will either facilitate the succession of b or be eliminated through mortality such that the patch occupied becomes open substrate likewise b will either facilitate the succession of a or be eliminated open substrate can remain open or become occupied by either a or b this configuration results in a cyclic scheme of species dominance mechanisms cyclic succession is a descriptive phenomenon that can be accounted for in several ways in watts bog system he suggested that factors endogenous to the plant species were at play he writes each patch in this spacetime mosaic is dependent on its neighbours and develops under conditions partly imposed by them in other words species life history characteristics fluctuate cyclically under the influence of surrounding species these periodic shifts in life history properties produce observable changes in community composition in the system watt observed phasic development was specifically responsible for changes in growth and mortality rate as a result of changes in survival and growth ability the balance of species dominance shifts relationships satisfies the conditions described in the model above a cyclic pattern of succession is observed exogenous factors such as depredation by herbivores can also be indirect drivers for cyclic succession if they differentially modulate plant life history properties over time densitydependent root gnawing by rodents is proposed as one such mechanism in the larreaopuntia system watt noted that cyclic fluctuations in mortality rate could also be produced through differential response to seasonal conditions like frost it is important to note that patterns cyclic succession can not be readily linked to any single species as watts calluna bushes have been observed in noncyclic systems rather it is the aggregate composition of species that gives rise to the cyclic process additional empirical evidence strong empirical evidence for cyclic succession can be found in watts followup publication on the bracken system in the journal of ecology calluna vulgaris and pteridium aquilinum were found to replace each other another salient example of cyclic replacement occurs in a water availability is limiting such that only one species would be predicted to survive larrea tridentata and opuntia leptocaulis are observed to replace each other in the absence of environmental disturbance notes further references van der maarel eddy vegetation ecology pp wileyblackwell isbn isbn ricklefs robert and gary leon miller ecology th edition pp macmillan isbn x

message congratulating the boy scouts of america on their centennial at the jamboree there were problems with a water shortage during the first arena show this was not repeated in the second show or in those at the jamboree cases of water bottles were distributed everywhere on the arena seating area with large stacks at the sides back and along the roads to the arena in total approximate threequarters of a million bottles of water were placed in the arena during the national scout jamboree in order to more back to their camps from the second arena show after dark some participants without flashlights had trouble avoiding running into extra cases of water bottles as they lay on the ground and the roads a few others carried cases back to their camps because the water in the bottles tasted better than that distributed in the water system social networking there was a focus on social networking at this jamboree which was entirely new generally scouts are instructed to leave their electronics at home when on camping trips but this event was an exception atampt one of the corporate sponsors provided excellent cell phone coverage and a wifi network which spanned the entire site this effected a better signal in the jamboree site than in most residential areas atampt also provided netbooks and cell phones for use by the scouts in their connection centers located throughout the site there were also secure device charging lockers next to each connection center where phones or other devices could be recharged although this setup became controversial after scouts have a personal charging station the jamboree trading posts sponsored competitions for videos and pictures submitted by participants staff members and signs placed around the site encouraged scouts to tell about their experiences on various social websites this allowed parents siblings and friends at home to get in on the action and see what was happening overall the event was covered extensively

 the mahal are sometime pronounced mandal are a jat gotra now found mainly in punjab although few are still found in jarauda in muzaffarnagar district of uttar pradesh they are one of the larger muley jat clans history and origin the mahal or maahal are a tribe that originally came from samana and settled in karnal in what is now haryana it acquired the name mahal from an ancestor who was found newly born by his dead mother s side in the local dialect of hindi and urdu haryanwi marhi is a tomb or shrine during the reign of the mughal emperor shah alam a member of the tribe converted to islam in return he was a granted an estate in muzaffarnagar charthawal and saron in after providing assistance to the british in the anglomaratha wars the family was granted a jagir estate in karnal according to other traditions they are descended from yazdgerd iii the last sassanian ruler of of prithvi raj chauhan under a malik salahauddin on the recommendation of the nawab of samana the malik received a grant of a villages referred to as mandal in the hindi language from khanda rao a brother of prithvi raj in the time of the sultan alauddin khilji the mahal received the jagirs of samana and malkana the mahal were in popular estimation considered to a be a mulla jat tribe and most members consider themselves to be jats the family of the nawabs of karnal the most prominent mahal family was that of the nawabs of karnal they first appear in history in a d when the family was residing at samana nawab majiduldaula granted to nawab sheruldin khan their ancestor the parganas of muzaffarnagar shoran and chitrawal in the muzaffarnagar district on condition that he furnished for government service horsemen fully equipped on the death of the grantee in the grant was continued on the same terms to his brother mahomdi khan his nephew mahomed ishaq and his cousin ghairat ah khan were in possession of these estates and in accordance with the policy of lord cornwalis they were induced to accept a tract west of the jumna in exchange thus the mandals came to settle in karnal it is very doubtful whether mr ibbetson s idea of the mandal descent is correct he has given no reasons for his assertion and beyond the fact that the mandals follow some of the jat customs there appears to be no ground for believing them to belong to that tribe on their seals the ancestors of the present mandals called themselves mandalinausherani ie the mandal of the nausheranis and we have to decide the meaning of this term nausherwan was a persian king and nausherwani chiefs have held sway at kharan in baluchistan since the th century it appears from inquiries made there and from the baluchistan gazetteer that certain nausherwan proceeded with abdulla khan of kalat when he accompanied nadir shah for the invasion of member of the nausherani family remained at samana in possession of a tract which was then conquered and that the present mandals are descended from him the meaning of the term mandal as applied to this family is not certain in shakespear s dictionary the word spelt with a hard d is translated as a circle halo a region country a round tent an officer employed in villages exciseman while that spelt with a soft d is said to mean a kind of wooden drum a fountain ibbetson refers to mandila as meaning a plat form on which guns are mounted of all these meanings the most probable is the exciseman or village officer and it seems likely that an ancestor of the family was a nausherwani who was left in charge of samana or some other place during the raid of nadir shah in order to collect taxes there that he was therefore called mandalinausherani and that he and his successors managed to stay for adventurers and those who conquer and settle in foreign lands to adopt some of the customs of the people among whom they have come and this would account for the mandals following certain of the jat customs the fact that the affix khan has been used by the family since they were first heard of in this neighbourhood and that the first known member bore the title of nawab tends to support the theory that they formerly belonged to the nausherani family of baluchistan nawab ahmad ah khan gave assisted the british authorities during the mutiny and for his services the quitrent of rs payable by him was remitted in perpetuity he was also presented with a khillat of rs in darbar and permitted to retain two cannon and one hundred armed retainers these honours have been continued to his suc cessors he died in and was succeeded by azmat ah khan his eldest surviving son who was given the title of nawab bahadur azmat ah khan died childless in and his half nawab and the jagir while he and his brother muhammad umar daraz ah khan inherited his estate before his death azmat ah khan who was on bad terms with his half brothers attempted to alienate his property but it was brought under the court of wards and there is now litigation by the wouldbe donees to obtain possession thereof for good services rustam ali khan received the personal title of nawab bahadur and umar daraz ah khan that of khan bahadur the latter was also an honorary subregistrar munsif and magistrate of the st class liaquat ali khan the first prime minister of pakistan was the younger son of rustam ali khan the fact that the samana branch spoke punjabi has historically created debates over the ethnic identity of liaquat both the karnal and muzaffarnagar branches of the tribe spoke urdu as did other mulla jats present situation presently both the samana and karnal branches of the tribe emigrated to pakistan many are now found in the city of punjab and sindh in india

audience recording especially one of that era the rolling stones performed two sets that night and it is the second concert that was more heavily bootlegged and has sharper sound bootleggers had collaborated to record stones shows across the united states recording them on twotrack sony recorders for months prior to the release of the album at least one source claims that the recordings initially came from rock promoter bill graham s staff who used the tapes for broadcast on ksan and released their edit on lurch records in early the recording was made available about one month after the concert and released yaya s as a response to the bootleg and the quality was high enough that it was rumoured that the band had even released the bootleg themselves the recording has been released

 smith and snipes hall farm ltd v river douglas catchment board kb is an english land law and english contract law case notable for denning lj s views concerning privity of contract facts the river douglas catchment board agreed with a number of landowners between the river douglas and the leeds and liverpool canal to carry out some work if some contribution to the cost was given in mrs s one of the covenantees sold her land low meadows to smith which incorporated snipes hall farm ltd in in autumn the ellen brook burst its banks and flooded smith and snipes hall farm land they made a claim against the board for damages in tort and breach of contract the question was whether not having been privy to the original agreement was a bar to any recovery judgment the court of appeal all held that the board was in breach of contract and that breach caused damage to the farm attach to the land and it would not matter whose hands the land came into the owner could enforce the covenant because the covenant ran with the land under section law of property act it could be enforced by the covenantee and successors in title denning lj s notable decision went as follows on those facts it is my opinion that the board broke their contract it was an implied term that they should do the work with reasonable care and skill so as to make the banks reasonably fit for the purpose of preventing flooding the proper way of doing this according to the experts was to put a clay core in the banks or to make them very much wider but they did not do either it may be that the board had not sufficient funds available to carry out such works but that seems to me to be an irrelevant consideration or at any rate just as irrelevant in the case of a public board as in the was engaged to make works for a specific purpose could excuse himself for bad results by saying that he had not sufficient money to erect proper works it follows therefore that if the original landowner with whom the agreement was made had himself cultivated the fields and suffered damage by the breach he could recover from the board but he sold the land and he has suffered no damage the damage has been suffered partly by the man who purchased the land but principally by the tenants and the question is whether they can sue on the contract mr nield says that the plaintiffs can not sue he says that there is no privity of contract between them and the board and that it is a fundamental principle that no one can sue upon a contract to which he is not a party that argument can be met either by admitting the principle and saying that it does not apply to this case or by disputing the principle itself i make so bold as to dispute it is sometimes supposed to be it did not become rooted in our law until the year tweddle v atkinson and reached its full growth in dunlop v selfridge it has never been able entirely to supplant another principle whose roots go much deeper i mean the principle that a man who makes a deliberate promise which is intended to be binding that is to say under seal or for good consideration must keep his promise and the court will hold him to it not only at the suit of the party who gave the consideration but also at the suit of one who was not a party to the contract provided that it was made for his benefit and that he has a sufficient interest to entitle him to enforce it subject always of course to any defences that may be open on the merits it is upon this principle implicit if not expressed i that the courts with the owner of land for its benefit can be enforced against the covenantor not only by the original party but also by his successors in title see the prior s case which is set out by lord coke in his work on littleton at p a and in his report of spencer s case ii that the courts of common law in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries repeatedly enforced promises expressly made in favour of an interested person see dutton v poole approved by lord mansfield in martyn v hind iii that lord mansfield held that an undisclosed principal is entitled to sue on a contract made by his agent for his benefit even though nothing was said about agency in the contract see rabone v williams cited in george v clagett and iv that lord hardwicke decided that a third out of the contract an intention by one of the parties to contract as trustee for him even though nothing was said about any trust in the contract and there was no trust fund to be administered see tomlinson v gill throughout the history of the principle the difficulty has been of course to say what is sufficient interest to entitle the third person to recover it has sometimes been supposed that there must always be something in the nature of a trust for his benefit see vandepitte s case but this is an elusive test which does not explain all the cases and it involves the trustee being made a nominal party to the action either as plaintiff or defendant unless that formality is dispensed with as it was in les affrteurs runis socit anonyme v leopold walford ltd the truth is that the principle is not so limited it may be difficult to define what is a sufficient interest to the public disadvantage it does cover the protection of the legitimate property rights and interests of the third person although no agency or trust for him can be inferred it covers therefore rights such as these which can not justly be denied the right of a seller to enforce a commercial credit issued in his favour by a bank under contract with the buyer the right of a widow to sue for a pension which her husband s employers promised to pay her under contract with him see dutton v poole and cf in re schebsman or the right of a man s servants and guests to claim on an insurance policy taken out by him against loss by burglary which is expressed to cover them cf prudential staff union v hall in some cases the legislature itself has intervened as for instance to give the driver of a motor car the right to sue on an insurance policy the driver but this does not mean that the common law would not have reached the same result by itself the particular application of the principle with which we are concerned here is the case of covenants made with the owner of the land to which they relate the law on this subject was fully expounded by mr smith in his note to spencer s case which has always been regarded as authoritative such covenants are clearly intended and usually expressed to be for the benefit of whomsoever should be the owner of the land for the time being and at common law each successive owner has a sufficient interest to sue because he holds the same estate as the original owner the reason which lord coke gave for this rule is the reason which underlies the whole of the principle now under consideration he said in his work upon littleton that it was to give damages to the party grieved if a successor in title were not allowed to sue it would mean that the covenantor clear that the original owner after he has parted with the land could recover no more than nominal damages for any breach that occurred thereafter it was always held however at common law that in order that a successor in title should be entitled to sue he must be of the same estate as the original owner that alone was a sufficient interest to entitle him to enforce the contract the covenant was supposed to be made for the benefit of the owner and his successors in title and not for the benefit of anyone else this limitation however was as is pointed out in smith s leading cases capable of being productive of very serious and disagreeable consequences and it has been removed by s of the law of property act which provides that a covenant relating to any land of the covenantee shall be deemed to be made with the covenantee and his successors in title and the persons deriving title under him or them and shall have effect the covenant of the catchment board in this case clearly relates to the land of the covenantees it was a covenant to do work on the land for the benefit of the land by the statute therefore it is to be deemed to be made not only with the original owner but also with the purchasers of the land and their tenants as if they were expressed now if they were expressed it would be clear that the covenant was made for their benefit and they clearly have sufficient interest to entitle them to enforce it because they have suffered the damage the result is that the plaintiffs come within the principle whereby a person interested can sue on a contract expressly made for his benefit i would not wish to leave this subject without referring also to s of the law of property act which says that a person may take the benefit of any covenant or agreement respecting land or other property although he may not be named as a party to the greene has said confined to cases when the person seeking to take advantage of it is a person within the benefit of the covenant or agreement see white v bijou mansions but subject to that limitation there is no reason why the section should not be given its full scope just as lord dunedin was prepared to give full scope to its narrower predecessor s of the real property act see dyson v forster section means therefore that a person may enforce an agreement respecting property made for his benefit although he was not a party to it so construed it is a clear statutory recognition of the principle to which i have referred and it is applicable to this case if the principle had been canvassed in in re miller s agreement it should i think have been held there that the daughters had a right at common law to sue for their pension can not believe that the covenantors there could break their contract with impunity so much for the question of principle mr nield did urge that the benefit of the covenant should not run with the land here because there was no clearly defined piece of land to which it was attached it is true that the agreement did not describe the lands by metes and bounds but it did give a description of them which was capable of being rendered certain by extrinsic evidence and that is sufficient id certum est quod certum reddi potest mr nield also argued that there was no servient tenement but that is only material when there is a question whether the burden of a covenant runs with the land this is a question of the benefit running and ever since the prior s case it has been held that the covenantor is liable because of his covenant given to the owner of the dominant tenement and not because of his relationship to any servient tenement in my opinion therefore for breach of covenant it is thus unnecessary to consider whether they are liable in tort but i will add a word about it the decision of the house of lords in the east suffolk case shows that in the absence of a contract a catchment board is under no duty to exercise its powers with efficiency or dispatch or at all but it also shows that if it does exercise its powers it must use reasonable care not to injure persons likely to be affected by its operations the present case is very different from that one because here the landowners in consequence of the works done by the board ploughed up the land and cultivated the fields and in the result suffered damage which they would not have done if the board had done nothing for in that case they would have had no crops there the decision of the house of lords does show however that in considering whether the board broke its duty in tort the works which it is said they ought to have constructed an adjacent landowner must not be too critical if the board prefers thrift to efficiency i suppose on the principle that he should not look a gift horse in the mouth and must be prepared to take it with some faults but the duty in contract is a very different thing there is no question of a gift horse there the landowner paid his contribution in return for the board s promise and they are in duty bound to fulfil it i agree therefore that the appeal should be allowed

 the magazine cover indicator is a somewhat irreverent economic indicator though sometimes taken seriously by technical analysts which says that the cover story on the major business magazines particularly businessweek forbes and fortune in the united states is often a contrary indicator a famous example is a cover of businessweek titled the death of equities the s had been a generally bad decade for the stock market and at the time the article was written the dow jones industrial average was at however roughly marked a turning point and stocks went on to enjoy a bull market for the better part of two decades even after the financial crisis of stocks remain far above their levels using the magazine cover indicator business week s projection that equities were dead should have been a buy signal by the time an idea has had time to make its way to the business has likely run its course similarly good news on a cover can be taken as an ill omen as paul krugman has joked whom the gods would destroy they first put on the cover of business week although there are a number of examples where magazines have been wrong even spectacularly wrong there is a tendency to ignore all the times the covers are right in january for example business week ran a cover story entitled meltdown for housing the worst is yet to come and in july a cover story called the home price abyss why the threat of a free fall is growing and indeed for the rest of and into home prices continued to plummet an investor who interpreted the magazine covers as a contrary indicator and purchased real estate would have lost much of his investment references

 birthplace moscow russia deathplace moscow russia michael i of russia russian mikhail fyodorovich romanov july ampndash july was the first russian tsar of the house of romanov he was the son of feodor nikitich romanov later known as patriarch filaret and xenia later known as the great nun martha his reign marked the end of the time of troubles life and reign michael s grandfather nikita was brother to the earlier tsarina anastasia and a central adviser to ivan the terrible as a young boy michael and his mother had been exiled to beloozero in this was a result of the recently elected tsar boris godunov in falsely accusing his father of treason this may have been partly because nikita had married ksenia shestova against boris wishes michael was unanimously elected tsar of russia by a national assembly on february but tsar and his mother at the ipatiev monastery near kostroma until march he had been chosen after several other options had been removed including royalty of poland and sweden michael was partly chosen for his connection by distant relation to the earlier tsarina anastasia the wife of ivan iv initially martha protested believing and stating that her son was too young and tender for so difficult an office and in such a troublesome time the weeping boyars solemnly declared that if he persisted in his refusal they would hold him responsible to god for the destruction of russia michael eventually consented to accept the throne michael s election and accession to the throne form the basis of the ivan susanin legend which russian composer mikhail glinka dramatized in his opera a life for the tsar in so dilapidated a condition was the capital at this time that michael had to wait for several weeks at the troitsa monastery mi off before decent accommodation could be provided for him at the first task of the new tsar was to clear the land of the countries occupying it sweden and poland were then dealt with respectively by the peace of stolbovo february and the truce of deulino december the most important result of the truce of deulino was the return from exile of the tsar s father who henceforth took over the government till his death in october michael occupying quite a subordinate position tsar michael suffered from a progressing leg injury a consequence of a horse accident early in his life which resulted in his not being able to walk towards the end of his life he was a gentle and pious prince who gave little trouble to anyone and effaced himself behind his counsellors sometimes they were relatively honest and capable men like his father sometimes they were corrupted and bigoted like the saltykov relatives of his mother he was married twice first to princess maria vladimirovna dolgorukova in who died four months after the eudoxia streshneva ampndash who brought him children michael s failure to wed his daughter irene of russia with count valdemar christian of schleswigholstein a morganatic son of king christian iv of denmark in consequence of the refusal of the latter to accept orthodoxy so deeply afflicted him as to contribute to bringing about his death on july michael s governments the two most important politically government offices prikazes were posolsky prikaz foreign office and razryadny prikaz a duma chancellery and a personnel department for both central and provincial administration including military command those offices could be pivotal in struggles between boyar factions so they were traditionally headed not by boyars but by dyak professional clerks the first head of the posolsky prikaz under michael was pyotr tretyakov until his death in he conducted policy of allying with sweden against poland the next one ivan gramotin had a reputation of a poloniphile this appointment was necessary to bring forth filaret s release with poland gramotin fell in his disfavour and was fired and exiled in the same fate was shared by efim telepnev in and fedor likhachov in they too tried to soothe filaret s belligerent approach ivan gryazev appointed in was promoted from second ranks of bureaucracy to fulfill filaret s orders after filaret s and gryazev s deaths the post was once again assumed by gramotin in and after the latter s retirement in by likhachov with general course on pacification razryadny prikaz was first headed by sydavny vasilyev filaret replaced him by his fellow in captivity tomilo lugovskoy but the latter somehow caused filaret s anger and was exiled in fedor likhachov was made head of prikaz till his shift to posolsky prikaz and in razryad was given to ivan gavrenev an outstanding administrator who took up this post for years three other strategic offices were streletsky prikaz in charge of streltsy regiments who served as moscow garrison treasury prikaz in fact ministry of health most particularly the tsar s health after filaret s arrival their former heads were sent away from moscow and all three given to ivan cherkassky filaret s nephew who proved to be an able and competent administrator and was a de facto prime minister till his death in fedor sheremetev who had succeeded to all cherkassky s posts was a rather weak figure the real power was

 catholic bishops in nazi germany differed in their responses to the rise of nazi germany world war ii and the holocaust during the years in the s the episcopate of the catholic church of germany comprised archbishops and bishops while german catholics comprised around one third of the population of germany served by priests in the lead up to the nazi takeover german catholic leaders were outspoken in their criticism of nazism following the nazi takeover the catholic church sought an accord with the government was pressured to conform and faced persecution the regime had flagrant disregard for the reich concordat with the holy see and the episcopate had various disagreements with the nazi government but it never declared an official sanction of the various attempts to overthrow the hitler regime ian kershaw wrote that the churches engaged in a bitter war of attrition with the regime receiving the demonstrative backing of millions of churchgoers applause for church leaders whenever they appeared in public swollen attendances packed church services were outward signs of the struggle of especially of the catholic church against nazi oppression while the church ultimately failed to protect its youth organisations and schools it did have some successes in mobilizing public opinion to alter government policies the german bishops initially hoped for a quid pro quo that would protect catholic schools organisations publications and religious observance while head of the bishop s conference adolf bertram persisted in a policy of avoiding confrontation on broader issues of human rights the activities of bishops such as konrad von preysing joseph frings and august von galen came to form a coherent systematic critique of many of the teachings of nazism kershaw wrote that while the detestation of nazism was overwhelming within the catholic church it did not preclude church leaders approving of areas of the regime s policies particularly where nazism blended into mainstream national aspirations like support for patriotic foreign policy or war aims obedience to state authority where this did not contravene divine law traditional christian antijudaism was no bulwark against nazi biological antisemitism such protests as the bishops did make about the mistreatment of the jews tended to be by way of private letters to government ministers rather than explicit public pronouncements from the outset pope pius xi had ordered the papal nuncio in berlin cesare orsenigo to look into whether and how it may be possible to become involved in the aid of jews but orsenigo proved a poor instrument in this regard concerned more with the antichurch policies of the nazis and how these might effect german catholics than with taking action to help german jews by after four years of persecution the church hierarchy which had initially sought to cooperate with the new government had become highly disillusioned and pope pius xi issued the mit brennender sorge antinazi encyclical which had been codrafted by cardinal archbishop michael von faulhaber of munich together with preysing and galen and the vatican sectretary of state cardinal pacelli the future pope pius secret and open fundamental hostility to christ and his church the german bishops condemned the nazi sterilization law in august von galen led protests against the nazi euthanasia programme in a pastoral letter of the german bishops proclaimed that the existence of christianity in germany is at stake and a letter accused the government of unjust oppression and hated struggle against christianity and the church at the close of the war the resistor joseph frings succeeded the appeaser adolf bertram as chairman of the fulda bishops conference and along with galen and preysing was promoted to cardinal by pius xii the anschluss with austria increased the number and percentage of catholics within the reich a pattern of attempted cooperation followed by repression was repeated at the direction of cardinal innitzer the churches of vienna pealed their bells and flew swastikas for hitler s arrival in the city on march however wrote mark mazower such gestures of accommodation were not enough to assuage the austrian nazi globocnik globocnik launched a crusade against the church and the nazis confiscated property closed catholic organisations and sent many priests to dachau a nazi mob ransacked cardinal innitzer s residence after he had denounced nazi persecution of the church in the polish areas annexed by nazi germany the church faced its most extreme persecution but after the invasion nuncio orsenigo in berlin assumed the role of protector of the church in the annexed regions in conflict with his role of facilitating better relations with the german government and his own fascistic sympathies in five of the polish bishops of the annexed warthegau region were deported to concentration camps in greater germany through the nazi period just one german catholic bishop was briefly imprisoned in a concentration camp and just one other expelled from his diocese list years in parentheses are the years of their episcopate wilhelm berning

karl joseph schulte archbishop of cologne konrad von preysing bishop of berlin nonresidential cesare orsenigo nuncio to germany relations with the nazi regime the german episcopate had various disagreements with the nazi government but it never declared an official sanction of the various attempts to overthrow the hitler regime the vatican too persisted in seeking to maintain a legal modus vivendi with the regime thus when bishop august von galen of munich delivered his famous denunciations of nazi euthanasia and the lawlessness of the gestapo he also said that the cardinal bertram head of the german catholic bishops conference developed an ineffectual protest system to satisfy the demands of other bishops without annoying the regime on august the president of the bishops conference on the one hand begged hitler to resist influences hostile to christianity but at the same time assured the fuehrer of his loyalty to the state as it is only gradually did catholic resistance from the hierarchy reemerge in the form of the efforts of individual clerics including cardinal preysing of berlin bishop galen of munster and bishop grober of freiberg the regime responded with arrests the withdrawal of teaching privileges and the seizure of church publishing houses pastoral letters of and denounced government breaches of the concordat and declared support for human rights and rule of law kershaw wrote that while the detestation of nazism was overwhelming within the catholic church it did not preclude church leaders approving of areas of the regime s policies particularly where nazism blended into mainstream national aims obedience to state authority where this did not contravene divine law and destruction of atheistic marxism and soviet bolshevism traditional christian antijudaism was no bulwark against nazi biological antisemitism wrote kershaw and on these issues the churches as institutions felt on uncertain grounds opposition was generally left to fragmented and largely individual efforts yet from the early stages of nazism nazi ideology and catholic doctrine clashed from alfred rosenberg s anticatholic stance in the myth of the twentieth century to the nazi sterilization and euthanasia programs the nazis also moved early against the church s organisational interests attacking political catholicism catholic schools and the catholic press against these things church leaders mounted vigorous defences preysing bishop von preysing was among the most firm and consistent bishops to oppose the nazis preysing served as bishop of eichstatt from to and in was appointed as bishop of berlin the capital of nazi germany preysing was loathed by hitler who said the foulest of humility and the foulest of these count presying what a beast he spoke out in public sermons and argued the case for firm opposition at bishops conferences bishop von preysing was one of the catholic contacts of the kreisau circle of the german resistance his advent pastoral letters of and on the nature of human rights reflected the antinazi theology of the barmen declaration of the confessing church leading one to be broadcast in german by the bbc in preysing met with and gave a blessing to claus von stauffenberg in the lead up to the july plot to assassinate hitler and spoke with the resistance leader on whether the need for radical change could justify tyrannicide galen the bishop of munster august von galen was preysing s cousin in response to nazi ideologist alfred rosenberg the myth of the twentieth century galen derided the neopagan theories of rosenberg as perhaps no more than an occasion for laughter in the educated world but warned that his as the authentic philosophy of national socialism and in his almost unlimited power in the field of german education herr rosenberg must be taken seriously if the german situation is to be understood often galen directly protested to hitler over violations of the concordat when in nazis removed crucifixes in schools protest by galen led to public demonstration like presying he assisted with the drafting of the papal encyclical he denounced the lawlessness of the gestapo the confiscations of church properties and the cruel program of nazi euthanasia he attacked the gestapo for seizing church properties and converting them to their own purposes including use as cinemas and brothels his three powerful sermons of july and august earned him the nickname of the lion of munster documents suggest the nazis intended to hang von galen at the end of the war soon after the nazi takeover his three advent sermons of entitled judaism christianity and germany affirmed the jewish origins of the christian religion the bible and the importance of the christian tradition to germany according to the encyclopedia britannica throughout his sermons until the collapse of the third reich faulhaber vigorously criticized nazism despite governmental opposition attempts on his life were made in and in he worked with american occupation forces after the war and received the west german republic s highest award the grand cross of the order of merit bertram cardinal adolf bertram ex officio head of the german episcopate sent hitler birthday greetings in in the name of all german catholic bishops an act that angered bishop konrad von preysing bertram was the leading advocate of accommodation as well as the leader of the german church a combination that reigned in other wouldbe opponents of nazism the church struggle the nazis disliked universities intellectuals and the catholic and protestant churches according to gill their long term plan was to dechristianise germany after the final victory the nazis coopted the term gleichschaltung workers party line there was to be no law but hitler and ultimately no god but hitler the kirchenkampf church struggle saw the nazis attempt to control the religious confessions of germany aggressive antichurch radicals like joseph goebbels and martin bormann saw the conflict with the churches as a priority concern and antichurch and anticlerical sentiments were strong among grassroots party activists hitler too disdained christianity according to kershaw the german church leadership expended considerable energies in opposing government interference in the church and attempts to ride roughshod over christian doctrine and values while offering something less than fundamental resistance to nazism church leaders engaged in a bitter war of attrition with the regime a threatening though initially mainly sporadic persecution of the catholic church in germany followed the nazi takeover the reichskonkordat between germany and the vatican was signed at the vatican on july within three months of the signing of the document cardinal bertram head of the german catholic bishops conference was writing in a pastoral letter s actions towards catholic organisations charitable institutions youth groups press catholic action and the mistreatment of catholics for their political beliefs prior to the church had been quite hostile to nazism and its bishops energetically denounced the false doctrines of the nazis however its opposition weakened considerably after the concordat cardinal bertram developed an ineffectual protest system so satisfy the demands of other bishops without annoying the regime only gradually did catholic resistance from the hierarchy reemerge in the form of the efforts of individual clerics including cardinal preysing of berlin bishop galen of munster and bishop grober of freiberg the regime responded with arrests the withdrawal of teaching privileges and the seizure of church publishing houses the concordat wrote william shirer was hardly put to paper before it was being broken by the nazi government on july the nazis promulgated their sterilization law an offensive policy in the eyes of the catholic church five days later moves began to dissolve the began to be targeted leading to thousands of arrests over the ensuing years often on trumped up charges of currency smuggling or immorality in effort to counter the strength and influence of spiritual resistance the security services monitored the activities of the bishops very closely instructing that agents be set up in every diocese that the bishops reports to the vatican should be obtained and that the bishops areas of activity must be found out deans were to be targeted as the eyes and ears of the bishops and a vast network established to monitor the activities of ordinary clergy the importance of this enemy is such that inspectors of security police and of the security service will make this group of people and the questions discussed by them their special concern in january hitler appointed alfred rosenberg as the cultural and educational leader of the reich rosenberg was a neopagan and notoriously anticatholic bishop von galen derided the neopagan theories of rosenberg as perhaps no more than an occasion for laughter in the educated world acceptance of his basic notions as the authentic philosophy of national socialism and in his almost unlimited power in the field of german education herr rosenberg must be taken seriously if the german situation is to be understood goebbels noted the mood of hitler in his diary on october trials against the catholic church temporarily stopped possibly wants peace at least temporarily now a battle with bolshevism wants to speak with faulhaber on november hitler met faulhaber hitler spoke for the first hour then faulhaber told him that the nazi government had been waging war on the church for three years religious teachers had lost their jobs in bavaria alone and the number was set to rise to and the government had instituted laws the church could not accept like the sterilization of criminals and the handicapped while the catholic church respected the notion of authority nevertheless when your officials or your laws offend church dogma or the laws of morality and in so doing offend this as responsible defenders of moral laws kershaw cites the meeting as an example of hitler s ability to pull the wool over the eyes even of hardened critics for faulhaber a man of sharp acumen who had often courageously criticized the nazi attacks on the catholic church went away convinced that hitler was deeply religious by early the german bishops who had initially attempted to cooperate with the new government had become highly disillusioned in march pope pius xi issued the mit brennender sorge encyclical it accused the government of systematic hostility leveled at the church bishops konrad von preysing and august von galen helped draft the document the nazis responded with an intensification of the church struggle beginning around april goebbels noted heightened verbal attacks on the clergy from hitler in his diary and wrote that hitler had approved the start of trumped up immorality trials against clergy and antichurch propaganda campaign goebbels orchestrated attack included a staged morality trial of franciscans spoke of the need to continue the fight against political catholicism and alfred rosenberg said that the churches of germany as they exist at present must vanish from the life of our people in the space of a few months bishop sproll of rothenberg cardinal von faulhaber of munich and cardinal innitzer of vienna were physically attacked by nazis after initially offering support to the anschluss austria s cardinal innitzer became a critic of the nazis and was subject to violent intimidation from them with power secured in austria the nazis repeated their persecution of the church and in october a nazi mob ransacked innitzer s residence after he had denounced nazi persecution of the church on july bishop von galen wrote to the government to complain the secret police has continued to rob the property of highly respected german men and women merely because they belonged to catholic orders because the nazi gleichschaltung policy of forced coordination encountered such forceful opposition from the churches hitler decided to postpone the struggle until after the war continuing conflict with the catholic and protestant churches in germany though he occasionally spoke of wanting to delay the church struggle and was prepared to restrain his anticlericalism out of political considerations his own inflammatory comments gave his immediate underlings all the license they needed to turn up the heat in the church struggle confident that they were working towards the fuhrer pastoral letter of the german bishops on june the german bishops drafted a pastoral letter from their fulda conference to be read from all pulpits on july again and again have the bishops brought their justified claims and complaints before the proper authorities through this pastoral declaration the bishops want you to see the real situation of the church the bishops wrote that the church faced restrictions and limitations put on the teaching of their religion and on church life and of great obstacles in the fields of catholic education freedom of service and religious festivals the practice of charity by religious orders and the role of preaching morals religious instruction in schools nearly stamped out pastoral letter of the german bishops the following year on march the german bishops issued a pastoral letter on the struggle against christianity and the church the letter launched a defence of human rights and the rule of law and accused the reich government of unjust oppression and hated struggle against christianity and the church despite the loyalty of german catholics to the fatherland and brave service of catholics soldiers it accused the regime of seeking to rid germany of christianity the letter outlined serial breaches of the concordat reitereated complaints of the suffocation of catholic schooling presses and hospitals and said that the catholic faith has been restricted to such a degree that it has disappeared almost entirely from public life and even worship within churches in germany is frequently restricted or oppressed while in the conquered territories and even in the old reich churches had been closed by force and even used for profane purposes the freedom of speech of clergymen punished for fulfilling priestly duties and incarcerated in concentration camps without legal process religious orders had been expelled from schools and their properties seized while seminaries had been confiscated to deprive the catholic priesthood of successors the bishops denounced the nazi euthanasia program and declared their support for human rights and personal freedom under god and just laws of all people austria the anschluss saw the annexation of austria by nazi germany in early austria was overwhelmingly catholic at the direction of cardinal innitzer the churches of vienna pealed their bells and flew swastikas for hitler s arrival in the city on march however wrote mark mazower such gestures of accommodation were not enough to assuage the austrian nazi radicals foremost among them the young gauleiter globocnik globocnik launched a crusade against the church and the nazis confiscated property closed catholic organisations and sent many priests to dachau anger at the treatment of the church in austria grew quickly and october wrote mazower saw new regime when a rally of thousands left mass in vienna chanting christ is our fuehrer before being dispersed by police a nazi mob ransacked cardinal innitzer s residence after he had denounced nazi persecution of the church losservatore romano reported on october that hitler youth and the sa had gathered at innitzer s cathedral during a service for catholic youth and started countershouts and whistlings down with innitzer our faith is germany the following day the mob stoned the cardinal s residence broke in and ransacked itbashing a secretary unconscious and storming another house of the cathedral curia and throwing its curate out the window in a table talk of july discussing his problems with the church hitler singles out innitzer s early gestures of cordiality as evidence of the extreme caution with which church diplomats must be treated there appeared a man who addressed me with such selfassurance and beaming countenance just as if throughout the whole of the austrian republic he had never even touched a hair of from the regime began its program of euthanasia in nazi germany in which those deemed racially unfit were to be euthanased the senile the mentally handicapped and mentally ill epileptics cripples children with down s syndrome and people with similar afflictions were all were to be killed the program involved the systematic murder of more than people bishop von galen had the decree printed in his newspaper on march subsequent arrests of priests and seizure of jesuit properties by the gestapo in his home city of munster convinced galen that the caution advised by his superior had become pointless on and july galen spoke against the seizure of properties and expulsions of nuns monks and religious and criticised the euthanasia programme in an attempt to cow galen the police raided his sister s convent and detained her in the cellar she escaped the confinement and galen who had also received news of the imminent removal of further patients launched august sermon he declared the murders to be illegal and said that he had formally accused those responsible for murders in his diocese in a letter to the public prosecutor the policy opened the way to the murder of all unproductive people like old horses or cows including invalid war veterans who can trust his doctor anymore he asked he declared wrote evans that catholics must avoid those who blasphemed attacked their religion or brought about the death of innocent men and women otherwise they would become involved in their guilt galen said that it was the duty of christians to resist the taking of human life even if it meant losing their own lives the sensation created by the sermons wrote richard j evans was enormous kershaw characterised von galen s open attack on the government s euthanasia program as a vigorous denunciation of nazi inhumanity and barbarism according to gill galen used his condemnation of this appalling policy to draw wider conclusions about the nature of to germany from the regime s violations of basic human rights galen had the sermons read in parish churches the british broadcast excerpts over the bbc german service dropped leaflets over germany and distributed the sermons in occupied countries bishop antonius hilfrich of limburg wrote to the justice minister denouncing the murders bishop albert stohr of mainz condemned the taking of life from the pulpit some of the priests who distributed the sermons were among those arrested and sent to the concentration camps amid the public reaction to the sermons hitler wanted to have galen removed but goebbels told him this would result in the loss of the loyalty of westphalia the regional nazi leader and hitler s deputy martin bormann called for galen to be hanged but hitler and goebbels urged a delay in retribution till war s end the catholic bishops jointly expressed their horror at the policy in their pastoral letter and designed to calm the conscience through appeals to pity we german bishops shall not cease to protest against the unless the commandment thou shalt not kill is observed under pressure from growing protests hitler halted the main euthanasia program on august though less systematic murder of the handicapped continued while galen survived bishop von preysing s cathedral administrator fr bernhard lichtenberg met his demise for protesting directly to dr conti the nazi state medical director he was arrested soon after and later died en route to dachau some of the priests who distributed the sermons were among those arrested and sent to the concentration camps amid the public reaction to the sermons the holocaust knowledge of according to historians david bankier and hans mommsen a through knowledge of the holocaust was well within the reach of the german bishops if they wanted to find out according to historian michael phayer a number of bishops did want to know and they succeeded very early on in discovering what their government was doing to the jews in occupied poland wilhelm berning for example knew about the systematic only one month after the wannsee conference most german church historians believe that the church leaders knew of the holocaust by the end of knowing more than any other church leaders outside the vatican however after the war some bishops including adolf bertram and conrad grober claimed that they were not aware of the extent and details of the holocaust and were not certain of the information they did possess public statements bishops von preysing and frings were the most public in the statements against genocide according to phayer no other german bishops spoke as pointedly as preysing and frings fulda meetings the bishops met annually during the war in fulda the issue of whether the bishops should speak out against the persecution of the jews was debated at a meeting in fulda the consensus was to give up heroic action in favor of small successes a draft letter proposed by margarete sommer was rejected because it was viewed as a violation of the reichskonkordat to in bishop grober expressed the opinion that the bishop should remain loyal to the beloved folk and fatherland despite abuses of the reichskonkordat defence of jews what protests the german bishops did make regarding antijewish policies tended to be by way of private letters to government ministers the papal letter condemned racial theories and the mistreatment of people based on race according to gill hitler was beside himself with rage twelve presses were seized and hundreds of people sent either to prison or the camps this despite article of the reichskonkordat guaranteeing freedom of correspondence between the vatican and the german clergy later in pius xii s first encyclical summi pontificatus which came only a month into the war the church reiterated the catholic stance against racism and antisemitism there is neither gentile nor jew circumcision nor uncircumcision barbarian nor scythian bond nor free but christ is all and in all and endorsed resistance against those opposed to the ethical content of moses and the sermon on the mount given by jesus when the newly installed nazi government began to instigate its program of antisemitism pope pius xi through his secretary of state cardinal pacelli ordered the papal nuncio in berlin cesare orsenigo to look into whether and how it may be possible to become involved in their aid orsenigo proved a poor instrument in this regard concerned more with the antichurch policies of the nazis and how these might effect german catholics than with taking action to help german jews cardinal innitzer called him timid and ineffectual with respect to the worsening situation for german jewry nazi racial ideology held that jews were subhuman and posited that christ had been an aryan ludwig muller was hitler s choice for reich bishop of the german evangelical church which sought to subordinate german protestantism to the nazi government but muller s heretical views against st paul and the semitic origins of christ and the bible quickly alienated sections of the protestant church leading to the foundation of the christianity also alarmed catholics cardinal michael von faulhaber responded with three advent sermons in entitled judaism christianity and germany he affirmed the jewish origins of the christian religion the continuity of the old and new testaments of the bible and the importance of the christian tradition to germany in the german bishops debated whether to directly confront hitler collectively over what they knew of the murdering of jews but decided not to take this course some bishops did speak out individually however von preysing of berlin spoke of a right of all people to life joseph frings of cologne wrote a pastoral letter cautioning his diocese not even in wartime to violate the inherent rights of others to life even those not of our blood and preached in a sermon that no one may take the property or life of an innocent person just because he is a member of a foreign race historical evaluation praise some german bishops are praised for their wartime out heinrich wienken a postwar bishop very likely personally hid jews in berlin during the war clemens august graf von galen was a wellknown public opponent of the nazi euthanasia program if not the holocaust itself criticism phayer believes that the german episcopate as opposed to other bishops could have done more to save jews according to phayer had the german bishops confronted the holocaust publicly and nationally the possibilities of undermining hitler s death apparatus might have existed admittedly it is speculative to assert this but it is certain that many more german catholics would have sought to save jews by hiding them if their church leaders had spoken out in this regard phayer places the responsibility with the vatican asserting that a strong papal assertion would have enabled the bishops to overcome their disinclinations and that bishop preysing s only hope to spur his colleagues into action lay in pope pius xii notes

 lift productions an acronym for louisiana institute of film technology was the first concerted private sector effort to combat runaway production of film and television from the united states in the s the us market lost over productionrelated jobs as motion picture and television programming increasingly became manufactured offshore the outflow of work was in large part due to lucrative incentives offered by canada its provinces and european union members in at the urging of lift founders malcolm petal and john j anderson louisiana passed a firstinthenation incentive program to compete directly with canada lift quickly leveraged those incentives to become one of the largest global manufacturers of madefortelevision movies lowbudget feature films music videos and commercials during its first five years of operation lift was responsible for well over a billion dollars in production by lift had spread throughout the state of louisiana as well as opening satellite production houses in arizona and connecticut it had also broken ground on a production complex in bureau of investigation agents raided lift s offices making sweeping accusations of fraud money laundering and tax evasion valued at tens of millions of dollars despite the sensational allegations the investigation petered out officially closing in without uncovering any crimes fraud or abuse at lift ceo and founder malcolm petal pled guilty in an unrelated bribery case by that time though lift was a defunct organization its creditors continue to sue the state of louisiana which refuses to honor tax incentives promised to lift despite the fact that lift was cleared of any wrongdoing early days lift was a production house formed by new orleans attorney malcolm petal and producer john j anderson their stated goal was to create a production infrastructure in louisiana to compete with los angeles and new york throughout and the founders lobbied the louisiana legislature to pass a production incentive modeled after canada s the duo testified that louisiana could become immediately competitive with much larger markets by recruiting usbased productions back incentive packages proposed by the lift founders on june that same month lift officially opened its doors during its early days lift concentrated primarily on music videos and commercials through its partnership with hsi productions of california lift produced a continuous stream of videos for a wide array of artists including mariah carey jessica simpson and leann rimes as well as several national ad campaigns including memorable spots for lincoln and payless shoes the tax credit program was widely recognized and hailed for its generosity applying to music videos and commercials as well as films and television and also because there was no ceiling on how much credit can be accrued per production or per year three separate sets of production initiatives a sales tax exemption a labor tax credit encouraging productions to hire louisiana labor and an investor tax credit that offered credit on as much as on overall production costs petal explained that without an incentive program it s almost impossible to finance independent films and television movies angle back to the united states this louisiana incentive n expanding business lift had initially made lowbudget feature films for limited theatrical release like the cult classics evil remains and freshman orientation however in it expanded aggressively into the movieoftheweek market producing dozens of films for lifetime cbs and aampe including christopher reeve s last picture the brooke ellison story and the critically acclaimed miniseries elvis which earned emmy nominations for the lift founders by the end of lift had over employees on payroll and had entered into longterm production and distribution contracts with independent powerhouse lions gate entertainment the partnership gained immediate boxoffice success with major releases such as the comedyclassic waiting and critical acclaim with arthouse offerings such as bug starring ashley judd which earned legendary director billy friedkin the coveted director s award at the cannes film festival that year lift had produced almost in locallyfinanced production and was on track to double that in with more than its distribution outlets releasing mr brooks starring kevin kostner through mgm and factory girl starring sienna miller through the weinstein company while in movie production in louisiana had an impact of just million by estimates were in excess of million according to the bureau of labor statistics the motion picture industry in louisiana grew by per year between and with wages increasing per year during that same period a report released by the economic research associates for louisiana department of economic development in found that the industry supported jobs in louisiana directly and indirectly generated million and an average income of per job the million of direct instate spending for amounted to million of economic benefit to louisiana when things like rents royalties profits dividends property taxes and various indirect benefits are factored in wages within the states motion picture increased per percent per year between and the impact of the motion picture industry on the states economy the report noted that million of direct instate spending for ultimately amounted to million of economic benefit to louisiana when things like rents royalties profits dividends property taxes and various indirect benefits are factored in hurricane katrina lift had nine productions either actively shooting or preparing to in and around the new orleans area in august including the last time starring brendan fraser and michael keaton budgets for these totalled over million housing production crews and new set locations were all in place about a week after the hurricane hit when hurricane katrina hit most movie studios abandoned louisiana citing the poor infrastructure dangerous weather and inability to find insurance however lift managed to relocate all its louisiana productions in other parts of the state including opening a major production center in shreveport in the far north of the state lift offered all of its louisiana workers and stipends to establish an expansion office in north louisiana million aid package all workers on lifts payroll continue to receive paychecks without interruption despite closed banks and strained communications as petal stated at lift s opening of its shreveport facility louisiana s incentive program has given it the opportunity to be the hub of the international production industry in the st century but that only can take place if it is a statewide effort having an anchor for the industry along the northern i corridor in shreveport is a crucial step in that journey today shreveport is one of the most active production locales in the united states thus katrina proved to be a significant growth opportunity for lift which survived the disruption through a massive ground effort to move workers and equipment throughout the state all of lifts productions were up and running again in less than a week while most of the state was still shut down and reeling from the subsequent blast of hurricane rita lift also kept and their families a generous relief package which included months or more of free housing and benefits whether they worked on a lift production or not subsequently lift was the first production company to return to new orleans after the storm shooting pride starring terrence howard in the spring of lift was successfully promoting louisiana s new nickname hollywood south it produced more than films and tv shows adding million in muchneeded revenues to a disasterravaged state the industry as a whole had brought million in film investments to louisiana moviemaker magazine ranked the state th in filmmaking in mayor nagin also introduced significant initiatives moving new orleans to the next level of the trinity industry with film music and video game production and created a national film advisory board to assist in making new orleans a top of the line place to film movies prospects and hopes remained high petal saw film production as a great way to keep skilled labor in louisiana there s a carpenters and electricians and hairdressers and every business in town gets used the dry cleaners and the hotels and the car rental services so the money gets out of the community fast it s nonpolluting unlike a lot of other businesses that we could attract down here at that time lift was employing up to people at wages starting at hour the film factory the friday before hurricane katrina hit lift purchased acre of land in downtown new orleans west of the french quarter intersection of st louis amp galvez streets to build a stateoftheart production complex the sqft m film factory was to be built to withstand extreme weather events and to international standards for essential facilities the plans included seven class a sound stages two devoted to film school productions movie and television production support spaces production offices central wardrobe and props a full service film and media education center it was also designed to house two digital media incubator labs one for the development of animation productions it was to be the first facility in the united states to house a stateoftheart training institute on an active motion picture studio lot within five years the school would have been training residents a year for careers in the louisiana production market film factory was not just a building but a massive attempt to build the first hollywood studio outside of hollywood in the history of motion pictures it included major strategic partnerships like one with lions gate which had agreed to move many of its core operations to louisiana and house them at the film factory as well as top vendors and suppliers such as panavision and kodak according to thirdparty studies motion picture production jobs were projected in louisiana in the film factory was to create jobs in its first year and jobs by the time it reached its peak of operations located in the treme area abutting downtown new orleansthe poorest census tract in the countrythe film factory was an ambitious effort states similarly a tulane study estimated that when the production studio and film institute came online in it would create nearly direct and indirect jobs and adding million in payroll on october film factory officially broke ground with a golden shovel ceremony officiated by louisiana governor kathleen blanco new orleans mayor c ray nagin and his political opponent lieutenant governor mitch landrieu completion was scheduled for the last quarter of the verticallyintegrated business boasted a development deal with element films the movie division of billionaire club impresario sam nazarian s sbe entertainment empire and a revolving line of credit with merrilllynch to distribute films through lions gate and mgm if successful the film factory would have transformed lift into a major studio and catapulted new orleans economic standing well past its regional competitors putting it on an economic footing with new york los angeles and chicago within years the developments month vocational school was to train local residents per year for carpenters to hairdressers from electricians to graphic artists from visual artists to caterers there is a career in the film industry for every ambition and natural talent announced ceo petal at the film factory groundbreaking and what s more these are union jobs with pension and health benefits and starting salaries from to per hour these are careers that will allow the people of treme to build dignified lives on single salaries own homes pay for college the city s executive director of arts and entertainment ernest collins and rep steve scalise rjefferson expressed the importance of this infrastructure development to the sustainability of the film industry in louisiana petal stated at the time we ve brought a lot of the industry here with cash the trick is to not have that be the sole reason people come here we have to try to leverage the tax incentives to build a more wellrounded industry this will show people that they can build a career here people have to feel that it raid on june fbi and irs agents raided lift s offices unnamed federal sources and news reports indicated that the us attorney s office believed lift had been involved in massive fraud some estimates topped the underwriters of the film factory soon withdrew lift tried to maintain its business but the louisiana department of economic development banned all liftrelated productions in the midst of all the publicity drying up all of its development and distribution deals the multiagency us department of justice investigation lasted over five years and cast a wide net serving grand jury subpoeanas on major hollywood studios law firms brokerages and cpas fbi and irs agents from new york ohio texas and california expended thousands of manhours including multiple interviews of kevin kostner the star of the lift release mr brooks despite its wide scope the investigation failed to turn up any evidence of fraud or abuse of tax credits as united states attorney james b letten had proclaimed at the outset pled guilty to paying a bribe to mark smith the louisiana film commissioner in a matter unrelated to lift he admitted receiving a fee from lift ceo malcolm petal to help convince the state of louisiana to allow popular music festivals like jazzfest essence and voodoo to utilize the film tax credits for their productions petal feared that without government assistance new orleans would lose these festivals in the wake of hurricane katrina bradley admitted he paid of that fee to smith but that petal had no direct knowledge of the payment petal pled guilty to conspiracy to bribe in the matter and is received the maximum year sentence during his sentencing proceedings the united states attorney s office admitted they had not proved any actual harm caused by the bribe any gain to petal or that petal had any knowledge that bradley hade made payments to smith nevertheless eastern district of louisiana judge lance africk a personal friend of united states attorney letten sentenced petal to the maximum not know of the bribe itself to be guilty of conspiracy to bribe because in a conspiracy the right hand does not need to know what the left hand is doing he opined that the maximum sentence was warranted due to the seriousness of the offense and that petal had lost his moral compass conclusion on january after seven years of litigation by the state of louisiana claiming lift and petal had committed fraud a final judgment was issued stating tersely that the state of louisiana would like lift s actions to be considered a fraud perpetrated by an unscrupulous businessman petal the evidence presented does not support this conclusion lift v led american arbitration association case no lift s meteoric rise and fall left many unanswered questions during the posthurricane recovery new orleans was suffering in a continuing maelstrom with lifts film factory the most ambitious of the many failed attempts to make us of gulf opportunity zone bonds for recovery the results of the investigation and its impact on attorney jim letten while popular amongst white conservatives as a crime fighter he is widely regarded as a publicity hound amongst liberals and a racist in the black community his aggressive yet fruitless pursuit of lift which included several press conferences and the highly publicized raid killed an unprecedented industrial revitalization project that would have brought tens of thousands of jobs to an area of entrenched poverty and almost exclusively africanamerican letten s prowhite political leanings and the fact that his investigation uncovered none of the promised fraud bribery or abuse at lift led many to suspect his underlying motive was not to uncover corruption but to arrest the development of the film factory which might have shifted new orleans balanceofpower inexorably to its black population this occurred at a time when some new orleans whites felt for the first time they had an opportunity to stop the progress of black power due to the destruction of blackowned property in hurricane katrina the film factory represented an opportunity for africanamericans to to serviceindustry salaries suspicion of letten is greatly enhanced by the company he keeps his best friends include united states senator david vitter and former attorney general alberto gonzales letten notably gave vitter a pass on a mann act violation for utilizing hookers in new orleans and dc today as a result of lift s successful efforts to compete with international incentives louisiana is now the second largest production state behind california and other states have passed film incentives in the last decade however lift s vision of utilizing the credits as a lever for broad economic development has not been adopted by any other actors and the programs remain large giveaways to film studios justified mainly for the public relations value of

endings and optimism and the power of your personal journey and making you feel that the weird thing about me is the great thing about me ive done other shows with gay characters and i will say that in many of those cases the gay characters did nt have a happy ending and i thought you know what enough colfer has commented that his biggest challenge was in ensuring the scene felt honest and not

tim stack for entertainment weekly wrote that although the dancing in the episode was fun preggers was lacking in chances he deemed quinn s pregnancy a good dramatic twist but hoped that it would not be a longlasting storyline eric goldman of ign rated the episode out of he called the single ladies performance a memorable tv moment and wrote that quinn s pregnancy was a very soap opera plotline however commented luckily glee is the kind of show to handle it with humor james poniewozik for time deemed kurt s coming out beautifully handled commenting the fact that dad mike omalley who has turned out to be a pretty good character actor ends up not being the boor we think he s going to be is one of the first signs that glee is growing up as a series that having established a world of primarycolor stereotypes it s now willing to subvert those expectations raymund flandez of the wall street journal criticized rachel s actions in the episode and felt that rachel has own development as a bonafide triplethreat have branded her as an overbearing prima donna to the rest of glee the comedic pairing of sue and sandy attracted some praise with stack deeming them the best villains ever

 language english wietie first published in by christopher van wyk and fhazel johennesse wietie provided a literary platform for the prevailing philosophy of black consciousness it gave voice to a new generation of south african writers who saw their work not only as a critique on oppressive systems but like black power as a weapon of transformation content and themes in keeping with this the magazine employed a language that was both literary and defiant openly declaring its commitment to the communication of revolutionary writing while also providing a space to explore the realities of everyday life under apartheid it published fiction poetry and prose that challenged the both the political cultural and racial status combining wit and humour with openly political writing wietie did not survive long under the apartheid administration publishing after the first issue was picked up by the police in february the censors banned it first on the grounds of obscenity specifically they objected to the story aunt molly and the girls then on the grounds of sedition after wietie was forced to close down christopher van wyk returned to staffrider to become chief editor 
 aristotle s views on women influenced later western thinkers who quoted him as an authority until the end of the middle ages and are thus an important topic in women s history he saw women subject to men but higher than slaves in chapter of his politics he writes the slave is wholly lacking the deliberative element the female has it but it lacks authority the child has it but it is incomplete a differences between male and female aristotle believed that nature ordained not only physical differences between male and female but mental differences as well by comparison to man he argued woman is more mischievous less simple more impulsive more compassionate more easily moved to tears more jealous more querulous more apt to scold and to strike more prone to despondency and less hopeful more void of shame or selfrespect more false of speech more deceptive of more retentive memory and also more action history of animals b moreover in accord with his society s custom of allowing girls and women to eat only half as much as boys and men he added that woman requires a smaller quantity of nutriment history of animals b aristotle wrote extensively on his views of the nature of semen his views on how a child s sex is decided have since been abandoned he wrote that only fairskinned women not darkerskinned women had a sexual discharge and climaxed he also believed this discharge could be increased by eating of pungent foods aristotle thought a woman s sexual discharge was akin to that of an infertile or amputated male s he concluded that both sexes contributed to the material of generation but that the female s contribution was in her discharge as in a male s rather than within the ovary his idea of procreation was an active ensouling masculine element bringing life to a passive female element aristotle explains how and why the by commenting on male rule over barbarians or nongreeks by nature the female has been distinguished from the slave for nature makes nothing in the manner that the coppersmiths make the delphic knifethat is frugally but rather it makes each thing for one purpose for each thing would do its work most nobly if it had one task rather than many among the barbarians the female and the slave have the same status this is because there are no natural rulers among them but rather the association among them is between male and female slave on account of this the poets say that it is fitting that greeks rule barbarians as the barbarian and the slave are by nature the same while aristotle reduced women s roles in society and promoted the idea that women should receive less food and nourishment than males he also criticised the results a woman he thought was then more compassionate more opinionated more apt to scold and to strike he stated that shame or selfrespect more false of speech more deceptive and of having a better memory modes of rule aristotle supported the laws that meant a woman s personal wealth automatically became her husband s according to aristotle there were different ways or modes tropoi of rule including despotic royal and political rule political rule is of those who are free and equal who tend in their nature to be on equal terms and to differ in nothing and aristotle thought that a husband and wife should live under political rule the rule suitable to those who are free and equal aristotle nevertheless thought that women should not leave the female quarters of the house and by his death the health of women in athens had deteriorated and they were living on average years less than males with elevated rates of death through childbirth as for the differences between husband and wife aristotle says that these always consisted in external appearances in speeches husband lose money and his reputation a wife was to refrain from complaint and to attribute this to sickness ignorance or accidental errors he thought that sometimes but not always males were leaders or both the male and the female have the deliberative capacity of the soul but he thought that in the female it lacked authority on a good wife from oikonomikos c bce therefore it befits not a man of sound mind to bestow his person promiscuously or have random intercourse with women for otherwise the baseborn will share in the rights of his lawful children and his wife will be robbed of her honor due and shame be attached to his sonsand it is fitting that he should approach his wife in honor full of selfrestraint and awe and in his conversation with her should use only the words of a rightminded man suggesting only such acts as are themselves lawful and honorable aristotle s thought that a wife was best her and that he had no preference for another woman but before all others loves trusts her and holds her as his own aristotle wrote that a husband should secure the agreement loyalty and devotion of his wife so that whether he himself is present or not there may be no difference in her attitude towards him since she realizes that they are alike guardians of the common interests and so when he is away she may feel that to her no man is kinder or more virtuous or more truly hers than her own husband spartan women aristotle wrote that in sparta the legislator wanted to make the whole city or country hardy and temperate and that he carried out his intention in the case of the men but he overlooked the women who lived in every sort of intemperance and wealth he added that in those regimes in which the condition of the women was bad half the city could be regarded as having no laws equal weight to women s happiness as he did to men s and commented in his rhetoric that a society can not be happy unless women are happy too in an article titled aristotle s account of the subjection of women stauffer explains that aristotle believed that in nature a common good came of the rule of a superior being but he does nt indicate a common good for men being superior to women he uses the word kreitton to indicate superiority meaning stronger aristotle believed that rational reasoning is what made you superior over lesser beings in nature yet still used the term meaning stronger not more rational or intelligent would this then imply that men simply gained their superiority over women by being stronger children on children he said and what could be more divine than this or more desired by a man of sound mind than to beget by a noble and honored wife children who shall be the most loyal supporters and the preservers of the whole house rightly reared by father and mother children will grow up virtuous as those who have treated them piously and righteously deserve that they should aristotle believed we all have a biological drive to procreate to leave behind something to take the place and be similar to ourselves this then justifies the natural partnership between man and woman and each person has one specific purpose because we are better at mastering one specific trait rather than being adequate at multiple women s purpose it seems he believes is to birth children aristotle stressed that man and woman work together to raise the children and that how they raise them has a huge influence over the kind of people they become and thus the kind of society or community that everyone lives in legacy galen aristotle s assumptions on female coldness influenced galen and others for almost two thousand years until the sixteenth century church fathers joyce e salisbury argues that the church fathers influenced by aristotle because it threatened to emancipate women from men otto weininger in his sex and character written in otto weininger explained that all people are composed of a mixture of the male and the female substance and that these views are supported scientifically

november the country was liberated and the nlf began its first congress on august it elected enver hoxha chairman renamed itself the democratic front and oriented its work against the manoeuvres of reaction its organizational consolidation the activization of the masses in concrete actions the political mobilization of the whole people to wipe out the remnants of fascism congresses were held in may june september june and june the front gained official recognition alongside labor unions cooperatives and other mass organizations of the party of labour in july following amendments to the constitution party historiography summed up the early work of the front as follows the front was to be the mainstay of the people s power in its struggle to safeguard freedom and national independence to reconstruct the country to achieve its economic social and cultural development on the road to socialism the role of the front was the mobilization and political education of the broad masses of the people and the strengthening of the political unity of the albanian people around the cpa the leading force in the front was the working class to which were now opened wide vistas of increasing in numbers and becoming an industrial working class of a high socialist consciousness the laboring peasantry which had borne the brunt of battle in the nationalliberation war remained the broadest base of party of labour in hoxha referred to the front as a great political organization which realizes the unity of the albanian people under the leadership of the party has wide scope of action in this field continuing he stated that in cooperation with the other social organizations the front is called upon to carry out allround work with the urban and rural masses to make the policy orientations and directives of the party clear to them to educate them in the spirit of socialist patriotism revolutionary vigilance combat readiness and irreconcilability towards all alien manifestations to constantly strengthen and temper the unity of the people the democratic front has been and remains a great tribune of the revolutionary opinion of the masses a powerful lever of the party to draw the working people into governing the country and solving problems of the socialist construction and the defence of the homeland following the death of hoxha his wife nexhmije served as chairwoman of the front from until being replaced by adil arani in committee of the party of labour in november the front as well as other mass organizations were given the ability to put forward multiple candidates in elections to the people s assembly independently of the pla in the period the front was disbanded functions the democratic front was open to all albanians aged eighteen and older excepting the former bourgeoisie kulaks and other perceived antistate elements albanian author anton logoreci writes that without a democratic front card a person can not obtain work get a ration book when one is required make a purchase at government stores and so on its newspaper was titled bashkimi which with the party daily zri i popullit constituted the main political news organs the front also had a semiweekly newspaper titled laiko vima for the greek minority in albania s first post election held in december the front submitted its own list of candidates winning over of the vote hoxha later approval of the masses everywhere and this fact was so evident that reaction did not even attempt to organize itself and to come out with a list of its own during the subsequent period in albanian history no electoral list opposite that of the front was tolerated in these elections the front and the mass organizations united within it nominated members of electoral committees and presented candidates unlike other states in eastern europe the party of labour s official history noted that there have never been other political parties in the country which has been a very favorable phenomenon for the working class the people for the revolution and socialism in albania in general practice it was tasked with enlisting the widest possible support for the party s programme and its revolutionary enterprises disseminating the teachings of marxistleninist ideology beyond the narrow circle of the communist lite it campaigns against political social and other attitudes regarded as harmful or reactionary by the party leadership it united all organizations of trade unions of the youth national liberation struggle and of pioneers such as the trade unions of albania the union of albanian women the association of writers and artists of albania the labour youth union of albania and other mass organizations the party s history notes that the pla has always regarded the unity of the people in the democratic front as a unity of classes strata and people who have no antagonistic contradictions who are linked by common interests and aims for one or more definite historical stages in relations among the people the front sought to expand the practice of criticism at the fourth congress of the front hoxha stated that the idea that there are special people to supervise the activity of government employees should be discarded as a erroneous idea which hampers the initiative of the masses and that of the organizations of the democratic front to organize and encourage worker supervision the organizations of the front should be more active and combative as rostrums whence the powerful voice of criticism by the masses work of state organs and of persons employed in them they should show more courage and severity towards every one who looks down upon and smothers their voice state problems are the concern of the working people as a whole a major role belongs to the organization of the democratic front to increase the participation of the masses in the study and solution of major problems of state to make the masses fully aware of the duty to take active work in running the affairs of the country without this we can not speak of enforcing further democratization of the people s power of fighting bureaucratism according to a government work the democratic front has played and still plays an important role in the struggle against bureaucracy encouraging the control of the masses over the state organs and the persons working there at their meetings the organizations of the democratic front encourage the broad and free debating of problems which concern and preoccupy them in particular they stimulate open and unrestricted criticism by the masses of shortcomings tasked with transmitting the party line to the people in educating them in political unity around the party and the socialist state and also in providing organised attendance to what the masses in the countryside and cities have to say so that they can participate actively in solving social and state problems and in struggling against regressive habits and tendencies inimical the building of socialism together with other mass organizations the front also played a role in the struggle against religion patriarchy and other customs deemed backward as well as promote in the countryside a better quality of life through improved hygiene communal and educational services and greater access to culture at the sixth congress of the front in nexhmije hoxha noted that the democratic front has always been in the front lines to free the people from the chains of religion and the savage laws of the unwritten code of the mountains

 villa carlota is the name under which two german farming settlements in the villages of santa elena and pustunich in yucatn were founded during the second mexican empire this colonization program is not to be confused with the carlota colony an american settlement in veracruz for strategically and political reasons emperor maximilian i of mexico s immigration policy included the goal to colonize the yucatn peninsula with approximately european families of farmers and artisans per year the leader of this colonization program was the imperial commissioner to yucatn jos salazar ilarregui at an operation level the director was the german engineer and cartographer moritz von hippel being a pilot program villa carlota attracted germanspeaking immigrants most of them simple farmers and artisans the majority came as families the first group formed by settlers arrived to the port of sisal yucatn on october these families settled in santa elena a village with mostly maya people around kilometers colonizers arrived to that same port on july most of them were send to the tiny village of pustunich some to santa elena and a few others stayed in mrida or went to work to other yucatecan locations such as holbox laguna de trminos or baca of the colonists came from prussia and many of them were protestants although in general these immigrants were well received by the hosting society and the imperial government apparently honored to the extent of its capabilities the contract it offered to these farmers the colonies collapsed in passive and perhaps active opposition from the yucatecan elite to the project the inappropriateness of the cultivation tracts for the purpose assigned to the settlement organizational problems amongst the colonists themselves and the fall of the second empire were some of the most important factors leading to the collapse of the program relatively soon after having settled in santa elena the settler s families started to create relationships with the locals marriages between germans and people of santa elena were originally protestants converted into catholicism many of the padrinos were yucatecans this explains partly why until our days the oral tradition around this historical event is still so rich after the disintegration of villa carlota as such some families migrated to other parts of the peninsula into the united states and back to germany many stayed however in yucatn where we can find descendents of these pioneers with last names such as worbis dietrich and sols among others the following characteristics are special about villa carlota it was probably the first case of subsidized migration into mxico being a working migration and not an elite one the villacarlotans constitute an exceptional case among the germans who migrated into mexico contrary to the settlement patterns found in other latinamerican countries the villa carlotans settled within existing maya communities this provided many opportunities for intercultural contact miscegenation and acculturation the results brought about by the analysis of the migration politics of the second empire as well as the idea that only elite german migration was received by mexico in the archivo histrico de mrida yucatn hosted a large exhibit about this subject entitled villa carlota una reconstruccin documental de la historia de las colonias alemanas en yucatn family histories by descendants some descendants of these pioneers have already started to research on their own and to publish accounts of their family s histories references

generations lived in yingchuan in modern luoyang henan neither his grandfather chen zhong nor his father chen yong was listed with any offices in the table of the chancellors family trees in the new book of tang suggesting that neither had an official title he had at least three younger brothers chen xuanxi chen yize and chen yishi in during the reign of emperor xianzong chen passed the imperial

was further given the office of jianyi daifu an advisory official and put in charge of drafting edicts in he was made the deputy minister of worship taichang shaoqing and continued to serve in his capacities as imperial scholar tutor to li yong and drafter of edicts during and after chancellorship in when chen yixing was also serving as the deputy minister of public works he was made a chancellor de facto with the designation tong zhongshu menxia pingzhangshi serving alongside li shi and zheng tan as of by which time li shi had resigned and yang sifu and li jue had been made chancellors as well it was said that chen was honest in his opinions and therefore despised yang for what he viewed as yang s grab on power and they often argued when discussing policy matters chen thus offered to resign but emperor wenzong declined his resignation after this incident he continued to frequently in veiled terms accuse yang of stealing imperial authority while discussing issues modern historians such as bo yang viewed these arguments as factional in nature and considered chen and zheng to be among the leaders of the li faction in the niuli factional struggles named after li deyu while viewing yang and li jue to be among the leaders of the niu faction named after niu sengru in the former chancellor li zongmin also considered a niu faction leader who had been exiled promoted and moved closer to the capital chen opposed vehemently and it was said that from this point on all policy arguments were complicated by partisan issues making it difficult for emperor wenzong to rule on them in there was a major argument that led to the removals of chen and zheng emperor wenzong had praised the talents of the acting director of finances du cong yang and li jue thereafter recommended du to be the ministry of census chen responded such orders should come from the emperor in the past those who lost stately sovereignty did so by losing their authorities to their subjects li jue responded your imperial majesty had told me previously that an emperor should select chancellors not suspect them in a subsequent discussion chen again emphasized that the emperor should not yield authority to his subjects li jue offended responded chen yixing is obviously suspecting imperial majesty i have often requested retirement and i would be fortunate to be given a post as an imperial prince s teacher zheng then stated your imperial majesty ruled well in the first and second years of the kaicheng era ie and while less so in the third and fourth years of kaicheng ie and yang responded in the first and second years zheng tan and chen yixing were in power in the third and fourth years your subject and li jue joined them of course the crime is mine he then stated i do not dare to again enter the office of the chancellors he withdrew from emperor wenzong s presence emperor wenzong subsequently sent a eunuch to comfort him and zheng partially apologized stating your subject is foolish i did not intend to point at yang sifu but yang sifu s reaction shows that he has no tolerance for governance is deteriorating year by year this does not only incriminate your subject but also speaks ill of your holy virtues yang then submitted multiple offers to resign soon thereafter zheng and chen were stripped of their chancellor posts chen instead was made the deputy minister of civil service affairs libu shilang later in the year he was sent out of the capital to serve as the prefect of hua prefecture in modern weinan shaanxi during emperor

chief imperial censor yushi daifu and then again chancellor as well menxia shilang the deputy head of the examination bureau of government menxia sheng later that year that yang sifu and li jue whom he had stripped of chancellor posts and sent out of changan because he believed that they did not support him as emperor became further incensed by the powerful eunuch qiu shiliang against yang and li jue as well as two eunuchs trusted by emperor wenzong liu hongyi and xue jileng that he ordered liu and xue to commit suicide and further sent eunuchs with orders to force yang and li jue to commit suicide as well after du cong pointed out to li deyu that it was unwise to let emperor wuzong to be accustomed to kill officials li deyu chen and fellow chancellors cui gong and cui dan interceded as a result yang and li jue were spared of their lives but further demoted chen was himself soon involved in a policy argument against li deyu as tang s longtime ally and vassal huigu had recently been defeated by xiajiasi and huigu remnants were approaching tang borders one major group of huigu remnants of tiande in modern bayan nur inner mongolia and sought food aid offering to submit to tang the defender of tiande tian mou suggested that wamosi s offer be rejected and that tang forces attack him along with allied tuyuhun shatuo and dangxiang tribes li deyu opined differently believing that wamosi s offer should be accepted and that food should be supplied to the huigu remnants chen opposed li deyu arguing that in effect it would be aiding the enemy emperor wuzong eventually agreed with li deyu in after wamosi had made a trip to changan to pay homage to emperor wuzong chen was relieved of his chancellor post and made zuo pushe one of the heads of the executive bureau shangshu sheng

be divided between excluded income from sources in puerto rico and income from all other sources to find the part that can be deducted or credited on a us tax return examples of deductions not attributable to specific income include alimony the standard deduction and certain itemized deductions such as medical expenses charitable contributions and real estate taxes and mortgage interest on your personal residence you have taxable puerto rican source income on your us income tax return then you can claim a credit for foreign taxes paid to puerto rico however you are not allowed to claim a credit for foreign taxes paid with respect to puerto rican source income that is excluded from a us tax return therefore to properly calculate your foreign tax credit you must reduce your foreign taxes paid by the amount of taxes allocable to excluded puerto rican source income employers in puerto rico are subject to both federal insurance contributions act fica tax a payroll withholding tax which funds social security and medicare and the federal unemployment tax act futa employers in puerto rico are legally obligated to withhold the employee portion of fica taxes from their employees wages and contribute the employer portion of fica commonwealth taxes puerto rico imposes a separate income tax in lieu of federal income tax all federal employees those who do business with the federal government puerto ricobased corporations that intend to pay federal income taxes for example puerto rican residents that are members of the us military and puerto rico residents who earned income from sources outside puerto rico in addition because the cutoff point for income taxation is lower than that of the us irs code and because the percapita income in puerto rico is much lower than the average percapita income on the mainland more puerto rico residents pay income taxes to the local taxation authority than if the irs code were applied to the island this occurs because the commonwealth of puerto rico government has a wider set of responsibilities than do us state and local governments as residents of puerto rico pay into social security puerto ricans are eligible for social security benefits upon retirement but are excluded from the supplemental security income ssi commonwealth of puerto rico residents unlike residents of the commonwealth of the northern mariana islands and residents of the states do not receive the ssi and the island actually receives less than of a us state however medicare providers receive lessthanfull statelike reimbursements for services rendered to beneficiaries in puerto rico even though the latter paid fully into the system in general many federal social welfare programs have been extended to puerto rican sic residents although usually with caps inferior to those allocated to the states however it has also been estimated that because the population of the island is greater than that of of the states if it were a state puerto rico would have six to eight seats in the us house of representatives in addition to the two seats in the us senate a common misconception is that the importexport taxes collected by the us on products manufactured in puerto rico are all returned to the puerto rico treasury this is not the case as such importexport taxes are returned only for rum products and even then the us treasury

 the cork free press june december was a nationalist newspaper in ireland which circulated primarily in the munster region surrounding its base in cork and was the newspaper of the dissident allforireland league party published daily from june until and weekly in it was the third of three newspapers founded and published within a decade by william obrien mp it developed a unique approach to the national question and to the social issues of the day with a pronounced conciliatory view to achieving home rule for the whole of ireland it displayed a favourable attitude towards the sinn fin movement its main rival newspapers were the cork examiner and the freeman s journal the irish people the irish people september november was the first of three newspapers published by william obrien its object to support his new agrarian reform organisation the united irish league it was a dublin based politically previous editor of the freeman s journal the paper was financed principally by william obrien s wife sophie sister of poet and socialite marc andr sebastian raffalovich and daughter of the russian jewish banker hermann raffalowich domiciled in paris the irish people ceased publication abruptly with obrien s resignation from public life on november after he had been alienated from the irish parliamentary party he had successfully negotiated and won the wyndham land purchase act which settled the age old irish land question but denounced in an irish party attack launched by john dillon mp rejecting his policy of conciliation with landlords the paper s editor tim mccarthy only learnt of his demise a day later as a future editor of the belfast irish news he later became one of obrien s bitterest critics the machinery of the irish people was bought by john odonnell mp and moved to galway where he set the irish people september march was republished in cork after obrien s return to public life in its editor john herlihy the paper aimed at furthering obrien s concept of national conciliation and promoting full scale implementation of the land act by encouraging tenant land purchase and extolling its benefits this through an alliance with the land and labour association which had become the munster base for obrien s renewed political activities the irish people obrien s prime political media propagated from the cottage building programmes won under the labourer ireland act its editorials usually penned by d d sheehan mp condemned in regular rhetorical exchanges with the irish party s freeman s journal the party s relentless campaign against land purchase the irish people ceased publication finally in march when obrien travelled abroad to recover from the december baton before it praised sinn fin as honest youngsters who could yet be won over by a great new national movement the cork accent the cork accent january june appeared on obrien s return at the end of the year the short lived cork accent carried the following explanation of the title in every issue in its first editorial it condemned the cork examiner as representing a delvinite form of catholic orangism further issues covered the resounding success of the eight obrienite independent nationalists returned in the january general election soon to become obrien s new national movement the allforireland league as well as the political stalemate in the house of commons in february a fund was launched at the cork city hall for the publication of a new fullscale daily paper the cork free press cork free press the cork free press made its appearance on three editors the opening issue carried a splendid leading article by the founder member and staunch supporter of the allforireland league canon sheehan of donerail the league held its public inaugural meeting in march and from july all issues had one central theme to promote the conciliatory principles of the league in achieving home rule with extensive coverage of election meetings in preparation for the december elections it regularly attacked the irish party for allying with socialists secularists and land nationalisers the redmondite controlled freeman s journal countered by rebuking the obrienite independents as dissident factionists the cork free press continually accused the redmonite cork examiner of supporting the disreputable ancient order of hibernians soon after the appearance of the cork free press however herlihy fell out with obrien he had decided to replace the linotype printing machines with newly developed monotype technology certainly more suitable for book publishing but not for highvolume newspaper publishing the misprints and herlihy was fired he unsuccessfully sued for unfair dismissal was then active as a journalist in london and in the mids one year editor of the irish press herlihys successor was hugh art ogrady eldest son of standish james ogrady a young trinity graduate who was sincerely in accord with allforireland aspirations the december general election saw the league victorious in cork returning eight mps but elsewhere succumbed to clerical opposition with home rule in the offing the paper reflected the outrage of obrien and his party colleagues when redmond gave way to partition under pressure from sir edward carson after specific concessions were published in the january edition of the paper which obrien claimed were acceptable to ulster to enable it to come in on an allireland home rule agreement the redmondites saw themselves as achieving home rule the allforireland league saw them as having achieved partition when world war i broke in august home rule was set aside the giving support to irish participation in the war by telling readers that the war had welded the irish together and to secure allireland home rule it was necessary to join britain and the allies in their hour of need this was so very much in accord with ogrady s own martial enthusiasm that he eventually decided to resign his post in and enlist in the war the london correspondent of the cork free press at the time was frank gallagher a cork native and from its third editor who though himself a separatist personally admired obrien he had attempted to dissuade obrien from his decision to support the war as he was rightly worried about the negative effects it would have on circulation and on the league particularly since rising losses and paper shortages forced the paper to become a weekly in mid lean to sinn fin after the rising in gallagher contacted obrien in london to discuss the attitude of the cork free press to it said the staff would walk out unless the paper took a more favourable attitude obrien capitulated and soon developed admiration for the insurgents idealism and their desperation at possible consequences obrien s cork free press soon began to present an altogether favourable attitude towards sinn fin practically becoming a sinn fin organ though the paper continued to point out the lesson that physical force had been proved useless and that what was needed was a united constitutionalism the editorials took on a distinctly heroic view of the rebels and damned redmond and the irish mps for their anti sinn fin utterances the editorial in the issue of september betrayed all the hesitance about embracing sinn fin that had distinguished obrien s attitude over the years it is to the sinn fin party that ireland must now look to mould the future of her people this mirrored gallaghers separatist aspirations and that of most of the papers staff the quasiseparatist attitude of the cork free press increased sales financial position hopeless suppressed the paper suffered closure because soon after the appointment of lord decies as chief press censor for ireland decies warned the press to be careful about what they published such warnings had little effect when dealing with such papers as the cork free press it was suppressed after gallagher accused the british authorities of lying about the conditions and situation of republican prisoners in the frongoch internment camp finally when in december obrien ceased publication of the cork free press he lost the last effective link with his constituents to keep the paper alive since had cost of his wifes savings in the general elections the allforireland league mps stood down in favour of sinn fin frank gallagher was subsequently founding editor of the irish press and director of publicity for amon de valera notes

 targit targeted intraoperative radiotherapy is a technique of giving radiotherapy to the tissues surrounding a cancer after its surgical removal the technique was designed in at the university college london in patients having lumpectomy for breast cancer the targitalone randomized controlled trial recruitment from tested whether targit within a riskadapted approach is noninferior to conventional course of external beam postoperative radiotherapy given over several weeks the ongoing targitboost randomized controlled trial is testing whether targit tumour bed boost given after lumpectomy for breast cancer in younger patients or those with a high risk of recurrence is superior to conventional external beam radiotherapy boost for breast cancer definition of targit targit is a method where the radiation is applied during an operation and targeted to the peritumoural tisues targit technique was designed at university college london by who coined the targit acronym and michael baum along with jeffrey s tobias in the term was first used when the technique was described and the protocol for a randomised trial was is a special method of intraoperative radiotherapy iort rationale of targit when breast cancer is surgically excised it can come back local recurrence in the remaining breast or on the chest wall in a small proportion of women adjuvant radiotherapy is necessary if breast cancer is treated by removing only the cancerous lump with a rim of surrounding normal tissue as it reduces the chance of local recurrence significantly when cancer does come back it most commonly occurs in the tissues surrounding the original cancer the tumour bed even though there are multicentric cancers in remote areas of the breast this suggests that it is most important to treat the tumour bed the rationale for targit is to deliver a high dose of radiation precisely to the tumour bed conventional radiation techniques such as external beam radiotherapy ebrt following surgical removal of the tumor have been time tested and proven to be effective ebrt is usually given as a course of whole breast radiotherapy and an additional tumour bed boost example the tumour bed where the boost dose should be applied can be missed geographical miss due to the difficulties in localization of the complex wound cavity even when modern radiotherapy planning is used additionally the usual delay temporal miss between the surgical removal of the tumour and ebrt may allow a repopulation of the tumour cells these potentially harmful effects can be avoided by delivering the radiation more precisely to the targeted tissues leading to immediate sterilization of residual tumour cells furthermore targit inhibits the stimulating effects of wound fluid on cancer cells suggesting for the first time a beneficial effect of intraoperative radiotherapy iort on tumour microenvironment the targit technique the machine used for targit is intrabeam carl zeiss germany it is a miniature and mobile xray source which emits low energy xray radiation max kv in isotropic distribution due to the higher ionization density caused by soft xray radiation in the tissue the relative biological effectiveness rbe of lowenergy xrays on gamma rays which are delivered by linear accelerators the radiation which is produced by mobile radiation systems has a limited range for this reason conventional walls are regarded sufficient to stop the radiation scatter produced in the operating room and no extra measures for radiation protection are necessary this makes iort for breast cancer by the targit technique available in most operating rooms the surgical technique is relatively simple but needs to be meticulously followed clinical applications targit for breast cancer the largest experience with iort using the targit technique and the best evidence for its potentials exists in breast cancer where a substantial number of patients have already been treated targita alone the was an international multicenter prospective randomised phase clinical trial designed to test whether a single dose of targeted intraoperative radiotherapy could replace the usual week course of postoperative radiotherapy the original trial original accrual goal of breast cancer patients was completed in and the results were announced at the american society of clinical oncology meeting and simultaneously published online on june in the local tumour control using singledose targeted intraoperative radiotherapy was found to be equivalent to several weeks of whole breast external beam radiotherapy the difference in local recurrece rate between the two treatments at years was ci to which means that targit could be at most worse or better than whole breast radiotherapy targit also caused less radiotherapy related toxicity than whole breast radiotherapy a brief explanation of the results is at and in a short interview in an invited lecture at the churchill hospital in oxford in quoted in the sydney morning herald professor john boyages author of l expressed concern about the early release of the targit trial he noted that the average followup for all patients in the trial was only years and that this was far too short to determine its routine efficacy however this criticism had already been addressed by the authors within the original paper at the st consensus amongst over breast cancer expert panelists was that targit alone could be used as the only radiation treatment in selected cases after breast conserving surgery or as a tumour bed boost instead of external beam radiotherapy boost at the miami breast cancer conference march of the audience in the surgical oncology stream felt the same at the san antonio breast cancer symposium december updated results of the which closed after recruiting patients were presented and showed that giving targit at the time of lumpectomy gives results similar to whole breast radiotherapy in terms of breast cancer control particularly in er pr positive cases with fewer nonbreast cancer deaths and a trend for lower overall mortality compared with conventional external beam whole breast radiotherapy the breast s normal tissue tolerance to radiation does not allow a second fulldose course of ebrt even after several years targit and other forms of partial breast irradiation may be an option for selected patients with local recurrence of breast main results in the lancet from this updated analysis of mature data of on november showed that with longer follow up the results are stable local recurrence in the conserved breast with targit concurrent with lumpectomy is similar to whole breast radiotherapy breast cancer mortality is similar with targit and ebrt and deaths from causes other than breast cancer cardiovascular and other cancers are significantly reduced the authors concluded that targit during lumpectomy should be offered as an alternative to whole breast radiotherapy in suitable patients the results of targit are discussed in as the effect of radiotherapy on local recurrence of breast cancer is mostly in the first years and almost none after the first years it is thought that sufficiently large number of patients in the targita trial have an adequately long follow up targitb boost targit as a tumour bed boost in conventional ebrt the boost is delivered at the end of a complete course of ebrt clinical evidence suggests that targit the boost can be delivered intraoperatively without any delay and more precisely as compared to conventional ebrt a multicenter clinical trial has demonstrated that the boost administered with iort resulted in a lower than expected rate of local recurrence as compared to an eortc study which used external boost radiation as a tumour bed boost targit has been found to have a better than expected effectiveness these results have prompted the inclusion of targit boost as an option to ebrt boost in national clinical guidelines of many countries including germany whether targit is superior to an ebrt boost is being tested in a randomised trial targit for other organs iort was found to be useful and feasible in the multidisciplinary management of many solid tumours but further studies are needed to determine the benefit more precisely singleinstitution experiences have suggested a role of iort eg in brain tumours and cerebral metastases spinal metastasis locally advanced and recurrent rectal cancer skin cancer retroperitoneal sarcoma pancreatic cancer and selected gynaecologic and genitourinary malignancies other the effectiveness and safety of iort in breast cancer patients tolerability iort with the targit technique has had a long clinical experience since and is found to be safe and well tolerated pilot studies in a study which examined acute side effects after boost radiation in patients with breast cancer treatment was well tolerated with no grade acute toxicity rare adverse effects following targit included wound healing problems erythema grade iii palpable seroma and mastitis large prospective randomised study in the randomised targita trial the overall complications was equivalent between targit and whole breast radiotherapy there were more seroma needing aspiration in the targit group this was more than compensated for by the more troublesome radiotherapy related side effects that were less common with targit than with whole breast radiotherapy professional society for intraoperative radiation therapy in the international society of iort isiort was formed to foster the scientific and clinical development of iort the isiort has see also brachytherapy external beam radiotherapy ioert radiation therapy breast cancer treatment references

 a crossbolted bearing is a bearing usually a crankshaft main bearing of a piston engine most bearing caps are retained by two bolts one on each side of the bearing journal and parallel to the cylinder axis a crossbolted bearing has one or more additional bolts at rightangles to both the cylinder and crankshaft axes these bolts may be either a single through bolt passing through the crankcase from one side to the other or else two blind bolts threaded into the bearing cap from each side crossbolting has two advantages it couples the two sides of the crankcase together making it stiffer overall and less prone to twisting secondly it helps to hold the bearing cap down against the downward force from the piston this second advantage is usually only possible with blind bolts as the dowel effect of a through bolt is less effective

 the auscolambert disc brake is an unusual brake where an axiallyexpanding shoe assembly is sandwiched between two linked rotating discs it may be thought of as an inside out disc brake instead of pads pinching a disc the pads expand inside a hollow disc history auscolambert brakes were introduced in late and used commercially in some chrysler cars and some farmall tractors the crosley hot shot is often given credit for the first production disc brakes but the chrysler crown imperial actually had them first as standard equipment at the beginning of the model year the crosley disc was a goodyear development a caliper type with ventilated rotor originally designed for aircraft applications lack of sufficient research caused enormous reliability problems especially in regions requiring the use of salt on winter roads such as sticking and corrosion drum brake conversion for hot shots was quite popular the chrysler wheel disc brake system was more complex and expensive than crosley s but far more efficient and reliable it was st joseph michigan under patents of inventor hl lambert and was first tested on a plymouth unlike the caliper disc the auscolambert utilized twin expanding discs that rubbed against the inner surface of a cast iron brake drum which doubled as the brake housing the discs spread apart to create friction against the inner drum surface through the action of standard wheel cylinders chrysler discs were self energizing in that some of the braking energy itself contributed to the braking effort this was accomplished by small balls set into oval holes leading to the brake surface when the disc made initial contact with the friction surface the balls would be forced up the holes forcing the discs further apart and augmenting the braking energy this made for lighter braking pressure than with calipers avoided brake fade promoted cooler running and provided onethird more friction surface than standard chrysler twelveinch drums but because of the expense the brakes were only standard on the chrysler crown imperial through and the town and country newport other chryslers priced around at a time when an entire crosley hot shot retailed for today s owners consider the auscolambert very reliable and powerful but admit its grabbiness and sensitivity pad expansion the auscolambert brake has an unusual mechanism to expand the brake pads it uses two flat rings both with pad material on one side and conical divots on the other side two rings are placed together with the conical divots facing together and a ball bearing in each pair of divots when the rings are rotated relative to each other the balls roll up the ramp faces of the conical divots pushing apart the two rings self energizing the auscolambert brake is selfenergizing it holds one ring rigidly and lets the other rotate freely without a stop the rotation direction is arranged so the direction of free rotation is the same as the hollow brake disc thus the disc tends to pull the ring in the direction that further applies the brake a shallower brakes are more subject to brake fade but it appears part of the ausco lambert design is to reduce the exponential gain of drum and band brakes and thus reduce grabbiness and hot fade self release when the disc rotates the opposite direction of ring rotation the brake tends to selfrelease this is common also for drum brakes and is acceptable for uses where hard braking is in one direction references

 a funeral procession in the funeral practices and burial customs in the philippines encompass a wide range of personal cultural and traditional beliefs and practices which filipinos observe in relation to death bereavement and the proper honoring interment and remembrance of the dead these practises have been vastly shaped by the variety of religions and cultures that entered the philippines throughout its complex history most if not all presentday filipinos like their ancestors believe in some form of an afterlife and give considerable attention to honouring the dead except amongst filipino muslims who are obliged to bury a corpse less than hours after death a wake is generally held from three days to a week wakes in rural areas are usually held in the home while in urban settings the dead is typically displayed in a funeral home apart from spreading the news about someones death verbally obituaries are also published in newspapers although the majority of the filipino people are christians they have retained some traditional wake when a person dies in the philippines filipino catholic people such as the tagalogs generally hold a wake known as lamay or paglalamay a vigil that typically lasts for five to seven nights but may last longer if the bereaved are waiting for a relation travelling from afar during this time the cleaned and embalmed corpse is placed in a coffin and displayed at the house of deceased or at a funeral home the casket is traditionally surrounded by funeral lights a guest registry book a contribution box and flowers family members relatives and acquaintances participate in the vigil apart from offering condolences mourners and visitors provide financial donations called abuloy to help defray the funeral and burial costs food and warm drinks are customarily served by the bereaved during the night vigil and typical activities conducted outside or near the vigil area include engaging in conversation singing guitar playing and it is normal that concerned visitors ask the bereaved questions that other cultures deem too sensitive such as how the decedent died if he or she suffered or the cost of hospitalisation or treatment such personal questions convey valid affection and concern from guests other people also customarily offer masses novenas and prayers for the benefit of the deceased on the funeral day the coffin is generally loaded into a hearse or borne by family members relatives or friends in procession towards the church and later the cemetery other mourners follow the hearse during the funeral

barong tagalog and black trousers while sporting a black armband being formal wear it is considered appropriate women are meanwhile dressed in either black or white with ladies in more traditional areas also wearing veils and headbands that match their dress after the entombment the bereaved offer prayers such as the rosary for the dead every evening for nine days a custom called the pasiyam or pagsisiyam literally to do for nine days this novena often concludes with a service followed by formal meal with family and friends the custom is base on the folk belief that the soul of the departed enters the afterlife on the ninth day this is followed by a special prayer service or mass on the fortieth day evoking the forty days between christ s resurrection and ascension the bereavement period extends for a period of one year when another service is held on the first death anniversary called the babang luks lit descent from mourning all souls day catholic and aglipayan filipinos and all souls day people gather in graveyards to clean and decorate the family grave as early as all hallow s eve then offer the dead prayers candles flowers and sometimes food more often than not mourners

their heads and shoulders are covered in a black veil called a manto funeral windows are closed before the casket exits the house while care is exercised to prevent the casket from touching any part of the house this is to prevent the deceased s spirit from loitering and bringing misfortune to the household to some filipinos a casket hitting any object during a funeral means that another person will die soon after the burial service family members wash their hair with a shampoo called gugu to remove the influence of the deceased s spirit rice cakes and basi are offered to attendees after

the philippines is through the use of burial jars known as manunggul jars these ancient potteries were found in the manunggul cave on the island of palawan a characteristic of the jars for the dead is the presence of anthropomorphic human figures on the pot covers these figures embody souls riding a boat for the dead while seafaring towards their sanctuary in the afterlife these containers have been dated from bc to bc there are also figures of boating people steering paddles wearing headbands jawbands and persons with hands folded across the chest area the latter is a method of arranging the remains of the dead other similar anthropomorphic jars were also found at pinol the saranggani province of the island of mindanao these funeral jars dates back from the metal age in addition to these jars the archaeological excavations done by robert fox at langen island in el nido palawan found out that a cave known as letaleta cave was a burial site that dates to the late neolithic period in sagada in sagada mountain province the ancient funeral norm of hanging coffins from mountain cliffs is still practiced by some minority groups the purpose of suspending the casket from the mountain

interment preventing tears from dropping onto the glass plate of the casket in order for the departed soul to travel in peace placing a chick on top of the coffin of an individual who died due to a transgression to hasten justice for the dead victim wearing black or white clothes during the interment except for a child who is dressed with a redcolored garment as a urging relatives to pass through under the casket before it is loaded onto the funeral vehicle to assist the surviving relatives in moving on with their life marching the dead towards the church and the cemetery known as the

before removing the coffin from any edifice making children walk under a hoisted coffin before loading the latter onto the hearse and burning dried leaves or paper and applying the smoke to mourners feet before leaving the burial ground other practises superstitious beliefs surrounding death entail the sudden appearance of certain animals particularly those black in colour examples are the appearance of a lingering black butterfly around an individual is an omen that a person s next of kin has died a sick person heading toward hospital who sees a blackhued cat will not survive their condition seeing an owl near the home of a sick individual signifies the infirm s imminent death other beliefs pertaining to death are related to dreams dining etiquette odours unusual shapes of certain objects children and odd numbers examples of these types are not allowing family members to leave the home until used utensils have been cleansed it is believed a family consuming sour fruit in the evenings to avoid early parental demise avoiding taking photographs of three persons together to avoid the early death of the individual placed in the middle sudden scent of a burning candle without a lit candle anywhere hints that a relative just died losing a tooth during a dream is an omen that a relative will soon die a headless shadow of an individual forewarns that that person will pass away soon preventing all family members from viewing the face of a dead person at funerals to prevent the ghost of the departed from visiting the family resulting in the death of every family member and lifting children related to the deceased over caskets before the entombment to hinder the ghost of the dead relative from visiting the children 
 the doing business report db is a study elaborated by the world bank group since every year that is aimed to measure the costs to firms of business regulations in countries in the study has become one of the flagship knowledge products of the world bank group in the field of private sector development and is claimed to have motivated the design of several regulatory reforms in developing countries the study presents every year a detailed analysis of costs requirements and procedures a specific type of private firm is subject in all countries and then creates rankings for every country the study is also backed up by broad communication efforts and by creating rankings the study spotlights countries and leaders that are promoting reforms the db has been widely known and used by academics policymakers politicians development experts journalists and the business community to highlight red tape and promote reforms as stated by the ieg study from the world bank for country authorities it sheds a their business climate for business interests it has helped to catalyze debates and dialogue about reform for the world bank group it demonstrates an ability to provide global knowledge independent of resource transfer and conditionality the annual exercise generates information that is relevant and useful contents in the study contains quantitative measures of regulations for starting a business dealing with construction permits employing workers registering property getting credit protecting investors taxes trading across borders enforcing contracts getting an electricity connection and closing a business as stated in the introduction of the study a fundamental premise of db is that economic activity requires good rules these include rules that establish and clarify property rights and reduce the costs of resolving disputes rules that increase the predictability of economic interactions and rules that provide contractual partners with core protections against abuse origins the doing business report has its origins in a paper first published in the quarterly journal of economics by simeon djankov rafael la of entry in the paper presented data on the regulation of entry of startup firms in countries covering the number of procedures official time and official cost that a startup must bear before it could operate legally the main findings of the paper were that countries with heavier regulation of entry have higher corruption and larger unofficial economies but no better quality of public or private goods countries with more democratic and limited governments have lighter regulation of entry the paper became widely known because it provided quantitative evidence that entry regulation benefits politicians and bureaucrats without adding value to the private sector or granting any additional protection methodology db is above all a benchmark study or regulation the process of gathering data is first based on a survey of over expert contributors lawyers accountants etc in countries who deal with business regulations in their day to day work the surveys are not a statistical sample and the results are interpreted and crosschecked for consistency before being included relevant government before publication db respondents fill out written surveys and provide references to the relevant laws regulations and fees based on standardized case scenarios with specific assumptions such as the business being located in the largest business city of the economy in most indicators the case study refers to a small domesticallyowned manufacturing company hence the direct relevance of the indicators to foreign investors and large companies is limited db uses a simple averaging approach for weighting subindicators and calculating rankings a detailed explanation of every indicator can be found through the db website and a xls archive that simulates reforms as stated in the main body of the db some caveats regarding the rankings and main information presented have to be considered by every user of the report mainly db does not measure all aspects of the business environment that matter to firm or investors such as the macroeconomic conditions or the level of employment corruption stability or poverty in every country db does not system nor the financial system of every country it also does nt consider the state of the finances of the government of every country db does not cover all the regulation or all the regulatory requirements other types of regulation such as financial market environment or intellectual property regulations that are relevant for the private sector are not considered this is why the db is not a complete assessment of competitiveness or of the business environment of a country and in any case it should only be considered as a proxy of the regulatory framework faced by the private sector in a specific country main findings according to the db regulation does matter for the development of the private sectors and several reforms are suggested across the report in order to promote the development of the private sector and enable the business environment some highlighted findings of the db are lower barriers to startup are associated with a smaller informal sector lower costs of entry encourage entrepreneurship enhance firm productivity employment opportunities evaluation doing business is a controversial study with passionate critics and devoted fans as recognized by the independent evaluation group of the world bank some have questioned the reliability and objectivity of its measurements others doubt the relevance of the issues it addresses or fear it may unduly dominate countries reform agendas at the expense of more crucial development objectives and the attention given to the indicators may inadvertently signal that the world bank group values less burdensome business regulations more highly than its other strategies for poverty reduction and sustainable development according to snodgrass several limitations are present in the db studies and have to be kept in mind when using the study the indicators and measures are referred to the costs requirements and fees of doing business in the countrys largest business city thus conditions elsewhere within the country may differ to achieve crosscountry standardization respondents are asked to give estimates for a limited liability company of a specific size costs for other forms and scales of businesses may differ very specifically defined the costs of other types of transactions may differ the cost estimates come from individuals identified as expert respondents sometimes the estimates give by such individual may differ with other experts and with public officials if so the responses are crosschecked for consistency the estimates assume that a business knows what is required and does not waste time satisfying regulatory requirements will obviously take longer if the business lacks information or is unable to follow up promptly a related point here is that db may not understand workarounds facilitating fees and learning time that speed or delay approvals and causes variation costs related studies published now for nine years the db has originated a growing body of research on how performance on db indicators and reforms generated by the reports related to specific development desirable outcomes as stated by the db about articles have been published in peerreviewed academic journals and about working papers are available through google scholar the db has acknowledged the and a ranking valid for all the country several regional and subnational studies have been carried out using the doing business methodology to assess variations within countries and regions across different cities including subnational studies for countries like brazil mexico and colombia and regional studies for the caribbean the arab world bulgaria and other south eastern european countries all studies are available from the db website db sometimes unintentionally has been widely used as a study to measure competitiveness however regulation rather than competitiveness is the main objective in the db other studies that are also used to measure competitiveness and recognized as business enabling environment ranking systems are the global competitiveness index the index of economic freedom and the global entrepreneurship monitor among others motivating reforms several countries have launched reforms to improve their rankings in the db these efforts are motivated to a great scope by the fact that the world bank group publishes the data and hence huge coverage by the media and the private sector is usually granted every carried out by every country the world bank group has advised over countries on reforms to regulations measured in the db providing technical assistance and guidance reform advice and db report

 this is an article on mithraism in comparative mythology and comparative theology see mithraic mysteries for the main article the roman cult of mithras had connections with other pagan deities syncretism being a prominent feature of roman paganism almost all mithraea contain statues dedicated to gods of other cults and it is common to find inscriptions dedicated to mithras in other sanctuaries especially those of jupiter dolichenus mithraism was not an alternative to other pagan religions but rather a particular way of practising pagan worship and many mithraic initiates can also be found worshipping in the civic religion and as initiates of other mystery cults however in popular culture and especially among the new atheist movement the most widely discussed element of mithras in the context of comparative religion is his relationship with christianity connections with the figure of jesus himself have even been posited but are generally ignored by scholars more widely discussed are a few apparent similarities between early christian liturgical practice and the mithraic rites and have been subject to varying interpretations over time comparisons with contemporary roman gods phanes orphic speculation influenced the cult of mithras at times in orphism phanes emerged from the world egg at the beginning of time bringing the universe into existence there is some literary evidence of the syncretism of mithras and phanes a list of the eight elements of creation appears in zenobius and theon of smyrna most of the elements are the same but in zenobius the seventh element is mithras in theon it is phanes a greek inscription on a statue base from a mithraeum in rome reads to deus sol mithras phanes a relief from vercovium housesteads on hadrian s wall shows mithras emerging from the cosmic egg which is represented both as such and by the shape of the zodiacal ring ulansey adds the identification between mithras and phanes indicated by cimrm is also explicitly attested by an inscription found in rome dedicated to toolong and another is in modena this shows phanes coming from an egg with flames shooting out around him surrounded by the twelve signs of the zodiac in an image very similar to that at newcastle further references also exist sol invictus mithras is given the title deus sol invictus unconquered sun god in several inscriptions the vagueness of the term invictus means that it was widely used mithraism never became a state cult however unlike the official late roman sol invictus cult jupiter dolichenus the mithraea at carnuntum appear to have been constructed in close association with contemporary temple of jupiter dolichenus and there seem to have been considerable similarities between the two cults both being mystery cults with secret liturgies both being popular in the military and having similar names for their officials and intitiates two large mithrea have been discovered in doliche itself modern gaziantep in turkey which have been proposed as being unusually early heliossol although mithras himself is he and sol appear in several scenes as separate persons with the banquet scene being the most prominent example other scenes feature mithras ascending behind sol in the latter s chariot the deities shaking hands and the two gods at an altar with pieces of meat on a spit or spits one peculiar scene shows sol kneeling before mithras who holds an object interpreted either as a persian cap or the haunch of the bull in his hand mithraism and christianity the idea of a relationship between early christianity and mithraism is based on a remark in the ndcentury christian writer justin martyr who accused the mithraists of diabolically imitating the christian communion rite based upon this statement ernest renan in set forth a vivid depiction of two rival religions if the growth of christianity had been arrested by some mortal malady the world would have been mithraic edwin m yamauchi questions the validity of renan s inference which published nearly years ago has no value as a source scholars among them ronald nash and edwin yamauchi have suggested a different interpretation of mithraism s relationship to christianity yamauchi pointing out that most of the textual evidence for mithraist doctrine was written after the new testament was in broad circulation posits that it is more likely that mithraism borrowed from christianity than the other way around the philosopher celsus in the second century provides some evidence that ophite gnostic ideas were influencing the mysteries of mithras virgin birth it is sometimes said that the birth of mithras was a virgin birth like that of jesus anahita was said to have conceived the mithras from the seed of zarathustra preserved in the waters of lake hamun in the persian province of sistan in other contradictory traditions he is also born without any sex but from the rock wall of a cave one must know that there were separate mithra traditions that may have changed and been adapted over time this information comes from a temple that bears this inscription dedicated to anahita and dated to about belief derived from the perseus myths which held he was born from an underground cavern th of december it is often stated that mithras was thought to have been born on december but beck states that this is not the case in fact he calls this assertion that hoariest of facts he continues in truth the only evidence for it is the celebration of the birthday of invictus on that date in calendar of philocalus invictus is of course sol invictus aurelian s sun god it does not follow that a different earlier and unofficial sun god sol invictus mithras was necessarily or even probably born on that day too unusually amongst roman mystery cults the mysteries of mithras had no public face worship of mithras was confined to initiates and they could only undertake such worship in the secrecy of the mithraeum clauss states the mithraic mysteries had no public natalis invicti birth of the unconquerable sun held on december was a general festival of the sun and by no means specific to the mysteries of mithras steven hijmans has discussed in detail the question of whether the general natalis invicti festival was related to christmas but does not give mithras as a possible source salvation a painted text on the wall of the st prisca mithraeum c ad in rome contains the words et nos servasti sanguine fuso and you have saved us in the shed blood the meaning of this text is unclear although presumably it refers to the bull killed by mithras as no other source refers to a mithraic salvation however the servasti is only a conjecture according to robert turcan mithraic salvation had little to do with the otherworldly destiny of individual souls but was on the of the good creation against the forces of evil symbolism of water monuments in the danube area depict mithras firing a bow at a rock in the presence of the torchbearers apparently to encourage water to come forth clauss states that after the ritual meal this watermiracle offers the clearest parallel with christianity sign of the cross tertullian states that followers of mithras were marked on their forehead in an unspecified manner there is no indication that this mark was made in the form of a cross or a branding or a tattoo or a permanent mark of any kind the symbol of a circle with a diagonal cross inscribed within it is commonly found in mithraea especially in association with the leontocephaline figure mithraic motifs and medieval christian art from the end of the th century some scholars have suggested that certain elements in medieval christian art reflect images found in mithraic reliefs franz cumont was among these scholars although he studied each motif in isolation rather than in christian church over paganism artists continued to make use of stock images originally devised for mithras in order to depict the new and unfamiliar stories of the bible the stranglehold of the workshop meant that the first christian artworks were heavily based on pagan art and a few alterations in costume and attitude transformed a pagan scene into a christian picture a series of scholars have since discussed possible similarities with mithraic reliefs in medieval romanesque art vermaseren stated that the only certain example of such influence was an image of elijah drawn up to heaven in a chariot drawn by fiery horses deman stated that to compare isolated elements was not useful and that combinations should be studied he also pointed out that a similarity of image does not tell us whether this implies an ideological influence or merely a tradition of craftmanship he then gave a list of medieval reliefs that parallel mithraic images but refused to draw conclusions from such parallels since these would be subjective

 skanderbeg s italian expedition was undertaken to aid his ally ferdinand i of naples whose rulership was threatened by the angevin dynasty george kastrioti skanderbeg was the ruler of albania who had been leading a rebellion against the ottoman empire since and allied himself with several western european monarchs in order to consolidate his domains in alfonso v of aragon ruler of sicily and naples and skanderbeg s most important ally died leaving his illegitimate son ferdinand on the neapolitan throne ren danjou the french duke of anjou laid claim to the throne the conflict between ren s and ferdinand s supporters soon erupted into a civil war pope calixtus iii of spanish background himself could do little to secure ferdinand so he turned to skanderbeg for aid in skanderbeg had achieved his most famous victory over the ottoman empire at albulena ujbardha which was received with great enthusiasm throughout italy in order to repay alfonso for skanderbeg took up the pope s pleas to help out alfonso s son by sending a military expedition to italy before leaving skanderbeg tried to negotiate a ceasefire with sultan mehmed ii the conqueror of constantinople to ensure his domain s safety mehmed had not declared a truce and he was still sending his armies against bosnia and the morea it was not until after mehmed s conquest of serbia that mehmed not only declared a truce but also a threeyear ceasefire with skanderbeg this gave skanderbeg his opportunity to send his men to italy due to fears of an approaching ottoman army skanderbeg first sent his nephew constantine with cavalry to barletta they were incorporated into ferdinand s forces to combat his angevin rivals they held back their enemy for a year but did not gain much ground until skanderbeg arrived in september before reaching italy skanderbeg visited ragusa dubrovnik to convince its rectors to help fund his campaign meanwhile his men landed upon arriving skanderbeg continued to pursue his ally s enemies with great success ferdinand s adversaries thus began to retreat from his territories and skanderbeg went back to albania a troop of his men stayed until ferdinand managed to finally defeat the pretenders to his throne at the battle of orsara although it is not known if skanderbeg s men participated background in skanderbeg s ally janos hunyadi died and his son mathias corvinus was crowned king of hungary hunyadi had been an advocate for an offensive war against the ottoman empire whereas the hungarian nobility and his son promoted a defensive war the next year however george kastrioti skanderbeg defeated a sizable ottoman force at the battle of albulena ujbardha rome had been desperately waiting for such a victory after the siege of belgrade as pope calixtus iii had wanted to assure himself of the feasibility of a crusade before declaring one calixtus thus named skanderbeg the captaingeneral of the curia to secure the war that had been captured at albulena to rome despite seeing his forces defeated the year before sultan mehmed ii prepared another force to be sent into albania the country had been obstructing his ambitions for empire in the west and he grew restless to defeat skanderbeg skanderbeg sent delegations to several western european states to convince them to stop fighting each other and unite for calixtus crusade italian situation on september alfonso v of aragon skanderbeg s most important and helpful ally after the stipulation of the treaty of gaeta died in as gesture of friendship with alfonso skanderbeg sent a detachment of albanian troops commanded by general demetrios reres to crotone to quell a rebellion against alfonso the next year many of these men were allowed to settle four villages in sicily which alfonso controlled upon hearing of his ally s death skanderbeg sent emissaries to the new king of naples ferdinand i to give condolence for his father s death but also to congratulate the succession was not without turbulence however ren danjou laid claim to the throne since his family had controlled naples before aragon had taken control of it and also because ferdinand was alfonso s illegitimate son the southern italian nobility many of angevin background supported ren danjou over the aragonese ferdinand among them was giovanni antonio del balzo orsini the prince of taranto and jacopo piccinino a famed condottieri who had been invited by the angevins francisco sforza the duke of milan who was wary of a french presence in italy sided with ferdinand and sent his nephew alessandro sforza to command his army in southern italy pope calixtus a spaniard who wished to see his compatriot in control of naples was in no position to help the weak ferdinand so he turned to skanderbeg for help however by that time piccinino and his men had conquered all of southern italy except naples capua aversa gaeta troia and barletta aid from ferdinand s father alfonso and was still a vassal of the crown of aragon so he felt the need to repay the crown he accepted the pope s pleas to go to italy and aid ferdinand skanderbeg s stated reasoning was twofold he wanted to remain loyal to his ally and he wanted to prevent an angevin takeover of naples since they had maintained friendly relations with the turks skanderbeg also feared that if the angevins took naples they would turn to albania where they had previously maintained a kingdom on the other hand before undertaking any action against the angevins he took measures to soften relations with venice seeing that southern italy was locked in conflict venice no longer feared an aragonesealbanian alliance and the senate decided to take a friendlier approach in albanianvenetian relations meanwhile pope calixtus iii had died and was succeeded by pope pius ii sensing that war would soon begin pius tried to convince giovanni orsini ferdinand s main rival to settle his differences with took up the angevin stance and in the hopes of convincing pius to allow the french takeover of naples proposed the repeal of the pragmatic sanction of bourges which undermined the pope s power and he even declared that he would be willing to lend men for the planned papal crusade pius however was wary of insincerity and disregarded these proposals a further effort to deter skanderbeg s landing was made by sigismondo malatesta the lord of rimini and italy s most feared petty tyrant who had tried to invite mehmed to italy with a detailed map of the adriatic if ferdinand sent for the albanian the manuscript however never reached the sultan and fell into pius hands albanian situation constant news of ottoman campaigns against bosnia and morea but not against albania seemed to suggest to skanderbeg that mehmed ii had been considering an armistice with skanderbeg the latter took advantage of this lull in the fighting by preparing for his voyage to italy and by securing his northern frontiers from a possible lek dukagjini who had been trying to expand his realm by reaching an agreement with the turks in order to curb his ambitions skanderbeg seized shat fortress and presented it as a gift to venice skanderbeg then established an alliance with venice against dukagjini while dukagjni was strengthening his turkish alliance the new pope issued a bull against dukagjini giving him fifteen days to break his alliance with the ottomans and to reconcile with skanderbeg or be subject to interdiction dukagjini conceded and chose the former option he then reestablished his alliance with skanderbeg and venice and accepted all of its losses pius ii continued to support skanderbeg but did not provide him as much financial aid as calixtus had since he believed that skanderbeg s military skill and his soldiers aptitude for battle were enough to hold back the turkish armies however the pope still considered skanderbeg s assistance essential for his plans for an antiottoman crusade in after mehmed ii completed his conquest of serbia ottoman envoys appealed for a the sultan s purpose was to distance skanderbeg from the pope s crusade as he believed the crusade s only hope for success was skanderbeg in order to give albania a break from fifteen years of continuous ottoman invasion skanderbeg considered accepting the proposal but he had to get the pope s approval pius did not allow such an agreement and began to doubt skanderbeg s loyalty as the ottomans were operating in the western balkans pius feared that the ottoman soldiers would break the truce and pour into albania in order to regain the pope s trust skanderbeg did not agree to the peace skanderbeg nevertheless was disappointed by rome s response and he responded by not participating in the council of mantua which was held to plan the future crusade the council ended in failure signifying that skanderbeg would receive no help from the west he thus sent ambassadors to the pope saying that he would only be willing to land in italy if a ceasefire with the turks were arranged something which rome ragusa dubrovnik was to receive skanderbeg s envoy on june he requested the city s support for the transport of his warriors to southern italy over the adriatic venice was not consulted since they pursued their own interests in italy whereas ragusa held close economic relations with the crown of aragon meanwhile skanderbeg sent martin muzaka to rome where he presented pius with skanderbeg s plans and pius in turn notified ferdinand pius then ordered venice to guard the albanian coastline skanderbeg then decided to send a troop of his men while he remained in albania in midjune skanderbeg agreed to a ceasefire with mehmed who used this time to finally conquer trebizond trabzon in the northeastern part of modern turkey the truce was agreed to last for three years first landings on september skanderbeg sent cavalry to barletta in apulia under the command of his nephew constantine who at the time was or years old the battles for the crown not much more than onethousand troops per belligerent ferdinand s neapolitan army as a whole stood at men the addition of albanian cavalry even though they were not cuirassed like their italian counterparts increased his force s effectiveness by this time ferdinand had lost most of his territory and was left with some fortresses in apulia and the area surrounding naples the angevins were swiftly approaching naples and ferdinand prepared a counteroffensive he first secured what he had by putting roberto del balzo orsini in command but orsini s incompetence held up the neapolitan army by this time skanderbeg s men had already arrived and ferdinand commenced his offensive albanian lightcavalry warfare was first noted here for its swiftness and effectiveness where they were reported to travel mi per day as opposed to the italian cavalry which could only travel mi the albanians were encouraged by ferdinand to fight in their traditional manner and to raid the territory ferdinand informed francisco sforza that the albanians had been devastating apulia and taking and prompted giovanni orsini to try to stop skanderbeg from pouring his men into italy ren danjou had been particularly surprised by skanderbeg s action since he believed that he had never offended the albanian orsiniskanderbeg correspondence giovanni orsini was the prince of taranto and ferdinand s fiercest rival he had been however alfonso s faithful ally and had developed an admiration for skanderbeg and his campaigns in albania after skanderbeg had sided with his rival orsini allied with the angevins and refused to recognize ferdinand as king of naples he then sent a letter to convince skanderbeg to pull his men out of italy arguing that ferdinand s fortunes were hopeless that skanderbeg s fame would die out after his supposed debacle and that an alliance with ren would be much more rewarding than an alliance with ferdinand skanderbeg s letter in response dated to october stated that he was not a condottieri looking for fortune but a mature man looking to help his ally furthermore another letter was sent to pius assuring him that the albanians were fit for battle in italy something the italian rulers did not believe the letters elucidate skanderbeg s political motives behind his italian expedition presenting himself as a noble ally and also illustrate the influence of the renaissance in skanderbeg s court they also served a psychological purpose to intimidate ferdinand s rivals skanderbeg compared himself to pyrrhus of epirus of antiquity who marched into italy to defend the greek citystates from roman expansion neapolitan counteroffensive by october ferdinand was able to recapture his western territories from capua to beneventum in his eastern frontier however his enemies remained at large the most dangerous among them was piccinino piccinino had undertaken the task of blocking papal and neapolitan troops en route to apulia since roberto orsini the man left in charge of the east and giovanni orsini s brother who had remained loyal to ferdinand was deemed incompetent ferdinand invited constantine to naples offering him a leading role in francesco del balzo the duke of andria who had remained loyal to ferdinand managed to defeat ercole deste in gargano they then had control over the customduties gathered there which brought ducats annually from which most of piccinino s pay came the fighting continued for three months after which constantine and ferdinand were able to regain some lost territory piccinino prepared his own counteroffensive along with giovanni orsini s men laying siege to the main castles a fierce battle soon erupted over venosa on may where the albanian cavalry took part ferdinand abandoned the city and fled back to apulia near troia he met skanderbeg s ambassador gjok stres balsha who informed him that skanderbeg was ready to land in italy as soon as the proper galleys were provided skanderbeg s expedition preparations and ragusan voyage before leaving for italy skanderbeg needed to accumulate the appropriate finances pius ordered the diocese of dalmatia to give a third of what it had raised for the forthcoming crusade to given to skanderbeg from the vatican s funds the ragusan banks held this amount but due to the threat of an ottoman invasion they refused to continue funding the crusade stefan vuki of zeta warned that the ottomans would soon move into dalmatia and albania they were thus reluctant to fund skanderbeg s expedition to italy due to issues of finance and the lack of large ships he had however received several smaller ships to transport his troops skanderbeg s arrival was delayed while ferdinand was under siege in barletta before the siege began however ferndinand sent four galleys to the albanian shores where skanderbeg and his men were waiting skanderbeg had meanwhile sent an unnamed captain to his eastern frontiers to guard against an ottoman attack and left his wife donika in charge of his affairs a venetian ambassador on his way from constantinople reported that skanderbeg had assembled cavalry and infantry along with several papal and neapolitan ships at capodilachi near modernday kavaj two neapolitan ships however so he continued to wait on august the four galleys sent by ferdinand arrived he boarded soon thereafter but he did not send his entire force directly to apulia he sent gjok balsha who had returned from italy with cavalry and infantry to the besieged ferdinand whereas skanderbeg himself went to ragusa to convince its rectors there to give him his needed funds balsha s men landed in barletta on august the angevin forces among whom was giovanni orsini feared that skanderbeg himself was the leader of this force so they lifted the siege of barletta immediately balsha then informed ferdinand that skanderbeg would arrive after his voyage to ragusa ferdinand felt that skanderbeg s personal involvement was essential and began to worry when he did not come in two days as balsha had promised skanderbeg reached ragusa on august along with the pal engjlli the archbishop of durrs his men stayed on the ships anchored in the harbor pressure the ragusans had reconsidered skanderbeg s requests his fame was visible when he walked through the citygates and the population poured into the streets to see him he had been greeted with a ceremony and a tour of the city inspecting its walls and weaponry he then received the financial sum he had come for his men were also supplied with food for their coming campaign his popularity allowed him to be wellkept by the ragusans where the largest albanian community outside of albania was present on august skanderbeg set off for apulia but a storm forced him to anchor off a dalmatian island on september skanderbeg finally reached barletta skanderbeg in italy even though they lifted the siege of barletta upon seeing skanderbeg s approaching men the week before angevin forces remained active once skanderbeg arrived ferdinand put him in command of the fortress of barletta whereas the king himself went to ariano irpino once left in command of the fortress skanderbeg moved against ferdinand s rivals the duke of calabria piccinino and francesco del balzo they had stationed themselves in andria where the albanian assaults continued the albanian cavalry s light armament swift horses and loose ranks allowed them to quickly overcome the more heavily armed italian cavalry which fought in tight formations in one of their operations an albanian warrior captured alois minutulo the lord of the castle of monte santangelo who was imprisoned in the fortress of barletta three years later ferdinand would present skanderbeg with the castle as a token of his gratitude ferdinand s opponents under piccinino s main command tried to open battle with skanderbeg but due to the combined strength of albanian and neapolitan forces they withdrew from the andrian fields to acquaviva delle fonti news of piccinino s retreat reached venice who sent a message to francisco sforza skanderbeg then marched to taranto where giovanni orsini was prince orsini tried again to dissuade skanderbeg from marching against him but ferdinand was wary of orsini s faithfulness his army into three parts one under moisi arianit golemi the other under vladan gjurica and the last under his command he led attacks against ferdinand s enemies in three directions without halt thoroughly exhausting them during the month of october skanderbeg continued to pillage orisini s territory from his bases at barletta and andria since the angevins were not present ferdinand meanwhile mopped up in calabria where he recaptured cosenza and castrovillari at this point orsini asked skanderbeg for a truce which the albanian rejected on october skanderbeg reported that he had captured the town of gisualdo piccinino then asked skanderbeg to discontinue his campaign which skanderbeg exuberantly accepted believing that peace was near piccinino however did not seek to maintain the agreement as one of his deserters reported upon learning this skanderbeg decided to open battle with piccinino s men after feeding his men and preparing his horses skanderbeg set off by moonlight for the angevin camp he found the place empty however on the albanians intentions skanderbeg then returned to barletta where he was reinforced by ferdinand and his men he then split his army into two one under alessandro sforza s command the other under his and he approached troia jean danjou and piccinino were stationed in lucera however eight miles from troia knowing that battle would come between troia and lucera skanderbeg set out by night to capture seggiano a mountain lying between the two cities where he stationed some of his men to protect it thence his men could find refuge in case of defeat piccinino had the same objective in mind and set out to capture the mountain but instead met skanderbeg s men he thus kept his men in order for the coming battle the next day the two armies met the battle lasted until dusk but jean s men suffered a serious defeat and he was forced to flee piccinino then retreated from his campaigns he went northwards where he joined sigismondo malatesta papal state skanderbeg s next task was to recapture trani the second most important point in apulia aside from barletta he succeeded in capturing the commander of the garrison fuscia de foxa who had rebelled against ferdinand fuscia was outside the walls of trani with sixteen men when skanderbeg saw him and surrounded him and then tried to convince him to abandon orsini whereby fuscia refused for pecuniary reasons on the morning of december with fuscia s pleas gracciani the vicecommander of the garrison surrendered trani both fuscia and gracciani however refused to hand over the garrison s munitions skanderbeg threatened to imprison them if they did not surrender what they were asked to forcing the two to hand over trani s stores after weeks of marauding skanderbeg and his aragonese colleagues joined alessandro sforza s men they then yielded all of the fortresses that they had recaptured to ferdinand aftermath seeing that their fortunes were dwindling ferdinand s rivals tried to settle for intermediary where giovanni orsini and piccinino offered peace if paid and ducats respectively something that ferdinand refused this was one of skanderbeg s last personal actions in italy he stayed in apulia for another month until january when he returned to albania leaving his soldiers in italy his reason for leaving italy is not clear but it is believed that at that time mehmed was preparing his campaign against hungary something which could be turned against albania on his return route he again visited ragusa where he was likewise welcomed as a hero he wanted to set off for albania immediately but bad weather forced him to stay he was offered supplies by the ragusan rectors suggesting that he wished to continue to albania via land but instead after ten days in ragusa he sailed by ship to albania before leaving he purchased grain from sicily for his soldiers in apulia the war over the crown of naples continued for several more months after skanderbeg left it battles in august ferdinand achieved a decisive victory at orsara skanderbeg s expedition made him famous throughout italy in his book de bello neapolitano iovianus pontanus sees the albanian landing as essential to ferdinand s victory their quick maneuvering and swift assaults virtually immobilized the italian warriors skanderbeg s expedition succeeded in lifting the siege of barletta capturing trani through a ruse forcing the angevins to turn from an offensive to a defensive strategy and devastating the land to the point where its inhabitants and giovanni orsini were forced to submit to ferdinand even allowing ferdinand to safely attend the wedding of antonio piccolomini pius ii s nephew moreover the campaign was instrumental in securing the neapolitan kingdom for ferdinand for his services ferdinand awarded monte santangelo to skanderbeg where many of his men soon settled they settled fifteen villages in the rolling landscapes to the east of taranto his return to albania was greeted as a triumph by his followers despite the jubilation on july the turkish army resumed its campaigns in albania the first major engagement was at mokra on july in the following macedonian campaign in august of the same year skanderbeg defeated three ottoman armies in one month on april skanderbeg and mehmed signed a new peace treaty but later on september skanderbeg signed an alliance with venice which had been preparing for war against the ottomans on october pius grew confident enough to declare his crusade against the ottoman turks which skanderbeg joined

as the word gulf was painted in large white letters the fire hydrocarbon vapors emanating from tank accumulated in the area of the boiler house and were ignited by an unknown ignition source a flame front followed the vapors back to tank causing fire at the tanks vents and an explosion within the outer shell of the stack these events began to unfold at am shortly thereafter a second explosion occurred within tank burning petroleum spilled from the tanks vents into a diked area surrounding the tank within the diked area a second tank no just north of tank containing no grade fuel oil also

streams to the burning tanks and piping in an effort to extinguish the fire by am it appeared that the fire was well contained and the situation sufficiently stabilized to declare the fire under control commissioner rizzo remained on the firegrounds throughout the warm muggy august day to continue to oversee the firefighting operation philadelphias two foam pumpers engines and along with the gulf refinerys foam pumper continued to apply foam to the burning tank piping and manifolds additional foam was acquired throughout the day from the fire departments warehouse and the nearby atlanticrichfield refinery it was also obtained from the national foam company in west chester pennsylvania however as the firefighting operation progressed it became apparent that the refinerys sewage system was not up to the task of properly draining the foam water and petroleumnaphtha product mixture that was accumulating on the ground along avenue y between th street and th street to the east running in front of the refinerys administration building these drainage problems were further exacerbated pumps these pumps were shut off as part of a decision to deenergize overhead power lines

a diked area some distance away additional ignition engine was set up on the east side of tank no at avenue y at th street applying foam to the tank three members were attending to the apparatus and wading in the foamwaterpetroleum mixture which was accumulating on the ground commissioner rizzo and gulf refinery manager jack burk were on an overhead catwalk nearby observing the firefighting operation without warning and in full view of commissioner rizzo and burk the accumulating liquid surrounding engine ignited immediately trapping the three firefighters working at engine instinctively and without hesitation other nearby firefighters dove into the burning liquid to rescue their comrades not aware of the by the advancing fire th alarm it was now pm and a firestorm was developing as the fire quickly spread eastward along avenue y towards th street viewing the unfolding horror before him commissioner rizzo ordered two more alarms five additional rescue squads and the recall of all

attempts to rescue the men caught in the flareup a second tank storing naphtha located on th street just north of avenue y on monday morning naphtha was pouring out of a fire out a decision was made to allow the fire in the original tank tank to burn itself out and the fire was declared extinguished on tuesday august however in the intervening week box alarms were transmitted for flareups on four different occasions to assist the fireground details that continued to work on the fire cause of fire the original cause of the fire was the overfilling of tank while no crude oil escaped from the tank as a result of being overfilled large quantities of hydrocarbon vapors were trapped above the surface of the tanks crude oil as the quantity of crude oil increased these hydrocarbon vapors were forced out of the tanks vents and into the area of the no boiler house where the initial flash occurred the overfilling of the tank in turn resulted from a failure of the tankers personnel to properly monitor at approximately am in the wake of the first explosions and fire the tanker terminated its pumping operations left its schuylkill river berth and relocated to the gulf piers at hog island in august about people gathered at the firemans hall museum in philadelphia as plaques were unveiled to honor the firefighters lost in the refinery disaster the refinery has since been acquired by sunoco

 the coleman station historic district is located around the former new york central railroad coleman s station in the town of north east new york united states a short distance south of the village of millerton it is a rural area including several large farms in the southeastern corner of the town at almost three square miles acre km it is the largest historic district entirely within dutchess county and the second largest in the county nine farms were established in the current district by emigrants from new england in the late th century those farms have since been subdivided and recombined under later owners but their original boundaries were used to establish the district a small valley along webutuck creek over the course of the th century they evolved from farms that primarily raised a diverse group of livestock for local and regional markets to dairy farms that used the station and the railroad line that ran through the middle of the district to sell raw milk to new york city by the district had become one of the city s largest milk providers at the end of the th century residents of the city began to make country retreats in and around the district a century later some of them lobbied to create the district and list it on the national register of historic places in one local farm s resistance to that effort went as far as federal appeals court after lower state and federal courts had negated the creation of the district since then some newer farms in the district have used its historic buildings and farms for coffee roasting and lowimpact sheep farming among other many of the buildings in the district were erected in the th and th centuries with little modification since then they reflect in many instances different phases of agricultural development in the district five of these contributing properties are listed on the national register of historic places geography the district is an irregularly shaped area whose boundaries follow either lot lines or the roads in the area it is of the harlem valley rail trail the us ny highway is its westernmost extent with a stretch of a halfmile km in either direction from the coleman station road intersection serving as the southwestern corner line with the exception of a small newer farm on the east side of the road near the southern end from there the boundary runs due east to the rail trail and turns south after following the rail trail for a thousand feet m it turns east again and follows lot lines first between fields and then through a large woodlot to sheffield hill road it turns south and then east taking in another farm and then follows the connecticut state line following it north to a dirt road along webutuck creek it then follows the creek itself excluding a large farm along the state line to the east at taylor road it follows the road briefly then a lot line straight east back to the state line just at the southwestern corner then north and then east again at the rear lines of modern houses along red cedar lane it then curves north along indian lake road to another property line which it then follows west at the district s northernmost corner the boundary turns to the south along this line after roughly ft then returns to its duewest heading for another halfmile crossing the rail trail and mill road at their junction it turns south at a cleared field in the middle of the woods then follows lot lines back to routes and topographically the acre inside this boundary is a bowl through which the creek flows formed by ridges and plateaus of as high as ft in elevation and breached by valleys of the webutuck s tributaries in the area and the webutuck itself at the north end near the lake the station area that gave the district its name lies at the low point around ft most of the land is used for agricultural purposes woodlots because of the clearing it offers scenic views in every direction particularly of the taconic mountains to the north and east the nearest settlement to the district is sharon valley connecticut one mile to the southeast downtown sharon is just east of sharon valley the nearest new york neighbors are the village of millerton four miles km north and the hamlet of amenia three miles km south along routes and there are a total of buildings sites and structures within the district most of them used for farming of these resources all but are contributing properties to its historic character four of the farms and one former estate have been individually listed on the national register history what would become coleman station took a long time for europeans to settle due to land disputes between the colonies of new york and connecticut the current boundary was resolved in even after settlement began the century farming finally developed moving from a diverse preindustrial agriculture to a more specialized focus on milk production after the railroad and industrialization farming survived the decline of the railroads in the late th century newcomers to the region saw its historic value and fought a precedentsetting court battle in the last years of the century to publicly recognize and preserve it since then agriculture in the district has once again begun to diversify early settlement tradition has it that the area like much of the harlem valley in eastern dutchess county was thoroughly cleared and cultivated by native americans before european settlers arrived that took later than usual due to the land dispute between the colonies of new york and connecticut few settlers built homes in the sqmi borderland known as the oblong until the s when the two colonies agreed that the panhandle where greenwich stamford and new canaan are now would be part of connecticut while new york got the oblong the agreement allowed for connecticut landowners to continue they would have an incentive to pay for an overdue survey of the land even with these issues resolved and land apportioned sold and subdivided there was still little settlement of the area throughout the midth century indians who had found the area a desirable place to settle while its legal status was unclear established villages in the area giving indian lake its name their presence in the area is recorded as late as the s most areas of the harlem valley were difficult places to establish farms due to the minimal amount of arable land the area later to become coleman station was an exception settlers coming west from new england found its alluvial soil ideal for farming one family nathan wheeler and his son elijah of new marlborough massachusetts bought over acre the first of two families by that name to establish themselves in the district in the early s another family the collinses had already settled nearby but bought land in the district to give district the farmhouse and barn at the wheelercollins farm on coleman station road have been dated to about shortly after landtransaction records start being kept regularly thomas wheeler of woodbury connecticut arrived right before the war the other wheeler to establish his family there the other farms were established following independence by the early th century four large farms existed all linked to wheelers animal farming as the new england farmers settled in their new home under their new flag their agricultural practices changed in their home states under british rule they had primarily grown wheat for export in dutchess county they began raising a mix of livestock and cash crops for local and regional consumption building farms that reflected this with buildings and spaces dedicated to different species they supplemented their farm income with the extraction of raw materials for early industrial production like iron limestone and peat from nearby hillsides and bogs the census contains the first record of farm production each averaged cows for milking with twice that number slaughtered for meat the former produced lb of butter and lb of cheese sheep were more numerous about a hundred per farm on average yielding lb of wool each year they were joined by pigs oxen used as beasts of burden and horses for personal transportation most improved land on the farms was used as pasture cropland was used mostly for animal feed hay and potatoes ten years later the census shows a dramatic change in animals raised cow herds have gained at the expense of pigs and sheep and the number of milking cows increased to with no change in the crops grown this reflects the advent of the new york and harlem railroad the state s first into the area and with it a milkprocessing plant in wassaic to the south farmers could now get their milk and products to the growing new york city market making dairy farming much recorded fluid milk production with the coleman station farmers herds putting out usgal annually farms still produced their own butter in quantity but left cheese production and its enormous fluid milk requirements to the processing plant it was the beginning of a shift from the diverse animal farming which had characterized the district earlier in the century to almost exclusively dairy farming as it is today barns grew bigger to accommodate the larger cattle herds and more land was given over to pasture and feed crops conversion to dairy farming and tourism with the coming of the railroad local entrpreneur amasa coleman lobbied for the construction of the station that would take its name from him and give it to the area he and oliver barrett convinced what was by then the new york central that a separate stop less than two miles km north of its sharon station would help it better serve both the vacationers headed for that town across the state line and the farmers the station spurred the vanished today indian lake road was rerouted to the east side of the line the original roadbed is still visible near the current overpass and a rock cut created through the wheelerbassett farm in the great blizzard of a fivelocomotive plowing team was utterly wrecked when it crashed into snow that had accumulated in the cut five members of the train crew were killed the railroad s presence led to an old farmhouse today known as mutton hill at the southeast corner of the district being renovated for use as country house it was the only one in the district until when thomas hidden a recently retired new york city industrialist bought portions of four of the old farms on sheffield hill road to create his hiddenhurst estate he may have chosen the coleman station area over the more popular sharon area to the south since he was interested in raising horses on the property he built a large stable and indoor training course neither extant the ornate neogeorgian main house is considered two years after hidden s death in his estate was purchased by the sheffield milk company which combined his property with others it had acquired nearby and established a large corporate farm it demolished hidden s stable and training facility and erected a large dairy complex on its site along with housing for its workers a new owner of the wheeler farm on taylor road around this time renovated its house to attract summer boarders and distributed a brochure promoting it through the railroad they may not have been the only ones the transition of the district from an insular farming community where agriculture defined residents socially as well as economically to one in which it was purely a business was now complete preservation and litigation change would continue in the s sheffield now one of the largest milk suppliers to new york city was bought out by the sealtest conglomerate two decades later the railroad by now the nearly bankrupt penn central ended passenger service along the railroad decade after which the tracks were removed in the ezra clark house became the first property in coleman station to be listed on the national register the owners of hiddenhurst demolished a remaining brick house and carriage house from one of the original farms a few years later prior to that property s listing around that time owners of weekend homes and other residents of the area began working for the creation of a historic district around coleman station forming the advocacy group friends of coleman station many of them were also concerned about the largescale composting activities of mcenroe farms one of the largest organic farms in the state which they felt threatened the watershed with potentially toxic runoff from its manure piles and which fouled the air with strong odors the farm owners and operator feared that historic designation would bring with it local zoning regulations that would limit their activities to an extent that the farm would become less profitable after the listing on the new york state register of historic places in followed with a listing on the national register two months later mcenroe successfully petitioned a state court to have the district s creation overturned on the grounds that it was not of sufficient historic importance and that notice of the state designation had been neither timely nor accompanied with written support as required by regulations of the state s historic preservation office present revitalization after the creation of the district sealtest itself became a brand name of the canadian conglomerate agropur a new agricultural product was added to the district in when the owners of the manhattan coffeehouse irving place opened a roasting facility in a former carriage house on reagan road they cited the area s preserved historic character as a major reason for locating there since then what is now known as the irving farm coffee company has expanded both at its original site and to other locations near millerton a motherdaughter team has also brought sheep farming back to the district at dashing star farm the renamed stephen wheeler farm in the st the harlem valley rail trail was created metronorth railroad restored harlem line passenger service to a new wassaic station at the rail trail s southern end it continues through the district to the old millerton station the former coleman s station site is now used as parking for the bicyclists and walkers who use the trail friends of coleman station continues to be active in preserving and promoting the district it works out of a small headquarters on indian lake road with research materials that is open to the public by appointment it maintains the small coleman station burying ground and the diana k temple memorial garden along the rail trail with native plants trees and shrubs every year it hosts an annual cleanup of the district with the occasional house and district tour significant contributing properties five properties within the district all farms or former farms are listed on the register in their own right some other properties not yet judged historically significant to warrant listings of their own are significant enough to properties oliver barrett house regan and sheffield hill roads probably built in perhaps with material from an older house this frame house near

vozicklevinson of entertainment weekly gave a b rating and commented that on nelly makes a reasonably convincing case that he can keep the momentum going his lyrics are vacuous as ever but those hooks sure are sticky mariel concepcion from billboard said that on the rapper proves he still knows what it takes to make a solid wellrounded album concepcion concluded her review by saying that the yearold artist gives fans the stuff they fell in love with years ago on debut country grammar and with a new popdriven sound he demonstrates he has nt lost a beat ken capobianco from the boston globe said that a tuneful mainstream effort that should yield a number of hits capobianco said that just a dream captures the design of many of these cuts hooks are prominent while nelly s patented tricky flow is often smoothed out he also praised songs like move that body do nt it feel good and stacks chuck eddy from rolling stone gave the album two and a half stars out of five he said that nelly essays a few fashionably globalsounding electroclub tracks and at least four numbers where he swipes guys girlfriends keri hilson and kelly rowland help him stretch out plies yo gotti and ti add muscle eddy said that the strut swings most distinctively in stacks where a biggie sample inspires nelly to approximate the country grammar he came up on jesse cataldo from slant magazine gave the album a rating of two stars out of five cataldo said that is never overtly awful but it definitely sinks into albums where they sit like dishes moldering beneath dirty water cataldo said that nelly has lost his charm and playfulness he began with on the albums following country grammar he felt that what is left is a murky stew of withered affections and grasps at modernity from siren effects to processed horns and autotune breakdowns cataldo said that the album contains a collection of collaborations with lowwattage names and alsorans it basically indicates that even if nelly is still trying which he does nt seem to be he has nt sustained the credibility to achieve a plausible comeback andy kellman from allmusic also gave the album two stars out of five kellman said that nothing on the rappers sixth studio album encourages repeated listening he felt that nellys exuberance often sounds feigned the rallying choruses are not effective and he s short on ideas kellman concluded his

 the foot surf rescue boat is a lifeboat that the united states coast guard has used in recent years the long boat is designated the surf rescue boat srb and was introduced in design the srb was selfrighting and self baling and designed with marked differences from the typical lifeboats used by the coast guard up until the early s the srb is not considered to be a motor lifeboat mlb but was generally used in a similar capacity designed to perform search and rescue in adverse weather and surf the first srb was built by the willard boat company in fountain valley california much of the footer s design centered around speed the sides of the hull are made of airex foam cored fiberglass reinforced plastic frp and the bottom of the hull is constructed of solid frp molded in one piece the boat is in length with a beam and gear and engine the footer has a single detroit diesel vti engine configured by johnson towers rated at the throttles are manually controlled and the boat has a single screw and rudder the srb s were rated for a top speed of kn although most of the hulls fell prey to minor water intrusion into the frp which slowed most of the boats to around kn at max rpm the footer has a range of nmi km and most standard operating procedures dictate that the boat not go more than nmi offshore without a waiver granted from higher level commands the fuel capacity is gallons at and the vessel is generally operated with a crew of two a surfman and an engineer the crew both stand on the coxswain flat protected by the superstructure on the bow and stern the boat s appearance has caused many to comment that it looks like a nike tennis shoe uses the intent for the boat is that it get on scene quickly get into a surf zone and extract any persons in the water or to stabilize a situation until the slower and larger motor lifeboat can get on scene since and the introduction of the faster mlb and the phasing out of the mlbs the need for a quick response vessel diminished making the footers obsolete the class of vessels underwent an overhaul in the early nineties to extend their life until the newer and faster motor lifeboats came into service and in the late s most of the footers were decommissioned one still remains on active duty at motor lifeboat station depoe bay in depoe bay oregon and is used almost daily this station was host to the last motor lifeboat in the late s even though the boats have many quirks including dynamic instability where the boat becomes unstable at high speeds many surfmen who became qualified on the boats have sworn by them sometimes referred to as a sports car compared to are challenging to learn to operate but once mastered one of the most seaworthy boats the coast guard has used 
 a graduate tax is a proposed method of financing higher education it has been proposed in the united kingdom and ireland background under the higher education act british and european union students at publicly funded universities in england wales and northern ireland are charged tuition fees called topup fees directly by the universities the amount of the fees is limited by law and the fees can be funded by governmentbacked student loans issued by a governmentbacked company the loans need only be repaid when the graduate is earning a sufficient amount of money to do so noneu students can be charged an unlimited fee by the universities and these are usually considerably higher in the national union of students nus proposed a tax on graduates who have received academic degrees over a period of years after the granting of the degree four of the five candidates running in the british labour party s leadership election in also backed the proposal a graduate tax was mooted before the introduction of rejected a system of graduate tax was seriously considered as part of the browne review although vince cable has stated that no decisions have been made on july vince cable appeared to endorse a graduate tax saying in a speech that he was interested in looking at the feasibility of changing the system of financing student tuition so that the repayment mechanism is variable graduate contributions tied to earnings nus proposal the national union of students has proposed a tax that would be levied on graduates for years following their graduation progressively ranging from to of their income benefits a graduate tax would allow education to be free at the point of delivery proponents claim that one benefit of a graduate tax is that it would prevent a market in higher education developing whereby students chose where and what to study based upon the ability to pay rather than academic ability a graduate tax might raise more money for universities over the long term than capped tuition fees depending on the level of graduate tax admits that an obvious attraction of such a tax is that it is levied only on graduates the immediate beneficiaries of higher education under the nus s proposals a people s trust would be set up that would be independent of the treasury the current system of loans has been seen as unviable because they require an expensive public subsidy to universities david willets has described how a rise in tuition fees would increase public spending it is in such delicate equilibrium that shifting any single element requires us to shift everything else if fees were to go up the government would have to lend people the money to pay for them and that would push up public spending it s not just that students do nt want to pay higher fees the treasury ca nt afford them so the arrangements we have now are clearly unable to respond to the current economic climate a graduate tax may not be perceived to be a debt in the same way as a student loan is that students carry an additional fixed burden of debt into their working lives yet most of us do nt think of our future tax obligations as debt the uk youth parliament funded by the british youth council supports the abolition of tuition fees with a view to introducing a graduate tax in november at their annual house of commons debate former member of uk youth parliament harrison carter spoke of the benefits of the tax at the government despatch box he contended that the tax would go straight to universities bypassing the hm treasury he dubbed others naive for not wanting to give something back for an education they would ultimately benefit from carter spoke of the country s duty to educate its citizens he said we were failing in that duty because the debt from university for many makes it an impractical next step criticisms the graduate tax could create several perverse incentives for example graduates of uk universities would have an incentive to move away from the or impossible to collect the graduate tax the russell group of universities claims that this could deprive the uk of vital skills and knowledge further perverse incentives may be present depending on the details of how the scheme is implemented if the tax is levied only upon students who graduate then some students would have an incentive not to graduate after having completed their courses of study if the tax is levied only upon students who graduate from uk institutions then some students would have an incentive to transfer from uk universities to foreign institutions for their final years of study a graduate tax breaks the link between the actual cost of a degree and the amount the graduate pays for it some graduates would end up paying more in taxes than their degrees actually cost while others would pay less the russell group claims that this situation would be unreasonable and likely to be seen by many as unfair because individual universities will not derive any direct financial benefit from becoming more attractive to students the graduate to drive up quality according to the russell group criticisms include the transitional problems which exist where students are going through university but not paying the tax freemarket thinkers have criticised the graduate tax for not creating a market based element in higher education alistair jarvis of the group of research universities has stated any mechanism that prevents variable fees and the functioning of a regulated market would be damaging to the sector we strongly support a regulated market because this is the best way to drive up excellence in research and teaching and to deliver student satisfaction a system of variable fees has been and remains the correct strategy this system should be developed rather than fundamentally changed it has also been argued by the independent that it is too early to change the system again in the united kingdom greenaway argues that a graduate tax would not deliver additional resources rapidly and that there is a potential problem of leakage with eu nationals leaving the uk and therefore not russell group vicechancellors as it would likely result in a more equitable distribution of research funding towards less prestigious universities nicholas barr professor of public economics at the london school of economics has praised the current system of student loans as a method of financing higher education arguing that variable fees foster competition that is of benefit to both students and employers another problem concerns how foreign students at uk universities and emigrants from britain would be treated by the tax madsen pirie of the freemarket adam smith institute writing in the daily telegraph argues that it is wrong for talented graduates to face higher taxes under a form of progressive taxation and that such a proposal might make emigration more appealing to graduates a loan can also be paid off early whereas a tax would continue to be charged for a longer period of time the universities and colleges union a supporter of free higher education has criticised a graduate tax sally hunt has criticised the tax as a rise in fees by stealth stomach a rise in university fees if the government thinks it can get the public to swallow higher fees as some sort of graduate tax it is living in a dream world we need a proper debate on how to fund our universities not an exercise in rebranding we will judge the plans on what they actually do and whether or not students will be forced to pay more not how the government markets them ireland a graduate tax has also been proposed in ireland since the free fees initiative has meant that almost all students in the republic of ireland from the european economic area and switzerland do not have to pay fees with the government paying them on their behalf however they must pay a student contribution formally called the student services charge and informally known as the registration charge which for the academic year was set at a maximum rate of many students from lowerincome families can get grants to cover this and other costs such as academic field trips as well as a maintenance grant in march fine gael then the largest opposition party in dil ireann proposed a graduate contribution scheme to replace the current system in its policy document the third way it proposed a system that would be automatic and universal applying to all graduates regardless of wealth and would amount to per cent of the total cost of their thirdlevel education the party also proposed to abolish the student contribution so that education would be free at the point of delivery the contribution would be collected via the prsi system and would be ringfenced for thirdlevel education there would be no interest charged on the contribution and it would not be retrospective there would be a minimum rate of repayment set by the state but graduates could increase the amounts repaid if they wished the scheme appeared in fine gael s general election manifesto and labour following the election they committed to undertake a full review of the hunt and oecd reports into thirdlevel funding before the end of they said that their goal is to introduce a funding system that will provide thirdlevel institutions with reliable funding but does not impact access for students in december in the runup to budget the department of education examined a number of models of funding for thirdlevel education including a return to fees a student loan system similar to the uk s or new zealand s and a graduate tax

 trapalcotherium is a fossil mammal from the cretaceous of argentina in the family ferugliotheriidae the single species t matuastensis is known from one tooth a first lower molar it is from the allen formation which is probably maastrichtian in age and was first described in the tooth bears two rows of cusps one at the inner lingual side and the other at the outer labial side which are connected by transverse ridges separated by deep valleys this pattern is reminiscent of ferugliotherium a gondwanathere mammal from similarly aged deposits in argentina and trapalcotherium is therefore recognized as a member of the same family ferugliotheriidae ferugliotheriidae is one of two families of gondwanatheres an enigmatic group without close relationships to any living mammals discovery and context the only known fossil of trapalcotherium was found at cerro tortuga in ro negro province southern argentina this formations rock units that have yielded late cretaceous gondwanathere fossils from argentina the others are the los alamitos and la colonia formations all three are probably about equally old from the maastrichtian latest cretaceous about million years ago mya and perhaps partly the campanian mya the mammals from the allen formation are known from seven teeth six of which represent four species of dryolestoidsa group of primitive mammals that dominates the late cretaceous mammalian faunas of argentina the fauna was described in a paper by guillermo rougier and colleagues who named trapalcotherium as well as several new dryolestoids the generic name trapalcotherium combines the name of the basin where cerro tortuga is located bajo trapalca with the greek therion beast commonly used to mean mammal in scientific names the specific name matuastensis derives from puesto el matuesto a shed used by the paleontologists who collected the single tooth of trapalcotherium is identified as a lower molar because it has two longitudinal rows of cusps as a first molar because it is longer than wide and as a left tooth because the left side interpreted as labial in the direction of the lips bears more cusps than the right side lingual the direction of the tongue the tooth is mm long and mm wide part of the back labial corner is missing the lingual row contains three cusps and the labial probably five the broken corner renders the number uncertain transverse ridges separated by deep valleys connect the lingual and labial cusps therefore the cusps are not strongly separate but rather fused the lingual cusps are larger and separated by larger valleys than the labial ones at the front of the tooth is a triangular structure consisting of the first lingual and the first two labial cusps a low crest connects the first lingual to the first labial cusp and relatively shallow valley connects the second lingual to the first labial cusp behind this structure a second triangle is formed by two crests passing from the second lingual cusp to two cusps at the labial side the back of the two is broken away but its existence is presumed from the crown pattern the front of these two crests is interrupted by a groove the third lingual cusp is also connected to two crests which encircle a small depression and presumably connected to one or more labial cusps which are missing from the fossil relationships trapalcotherium is identified as a member of gondwanatheriaa small and enigmatic group of mammals from cretaceous and paleogene of the southern continents gondwana on the basis of the transverse ridges and triangle on its crown it resembles ferugliotherium from the los alamitos formation the only previously known uncontroversial member of the family ferugliotheriidae but differs in some characters the triangle at the front is narrower in trapalcotherium less curved the ridges attached to the second lingual cusp form another triangle the tooth is relatively shorter trapalcotherium does not have the yshaped valleys between cusps seen in ferugliotherium and the tips of the lingual cusps are more labially placed the evolutionary affinities of gondwanatheres which include the ferugliotheriidae and the highercrowned sudamericidae are controversial though a relationship with multituberculates a large group mainly known from the northern continents of laurasia has repeatedly been proposed the identification of trapalcotherium does not provide additional information that has a bearing on the relationships of the gondwanatheres

jr john c oxley richard c riemenschneider to jack l shelton charles weaver history polo is perhaps the oldest organized sport of any kind according to some historians as written references indicate that alexander the great bce knew of the game it was first played in the united states in introduced by james gordon bennett jr may may who had first observed the game played in england bennett came to be known as father of american polo as it was he who assembled the players knowledge equipment and texas horses to play the first loosely structured matches in the united states during that winter of the first game was held indoors at dickels riding academy in new york and the first formal us club was established the westchester polo club rhode island before making newport its permanent home on may the jerome park racetrack in westchester county future home of the new york giants baseball team and hence the name polo grounds was the site of the first outdoor polo match then in meadowbrook became a polo club and began play on the mineola fairgrounds of long island the foundation had now been laid for american polo and the sport was here to stay and flourish as players and teams proliferated the development of the sport demanded a governing body the polo association later known as the united states polo association with hl herbert serving as first chairman was founded march the uspas purpose was to coordinate games standardize rules and establish handicaps mr herbert was credited with instituting a handicapping system in so that teams could be more evenly matched in games his rating system is essentially the same today with player handicaps spanning minus one through with being highest handicap assistant continued to guide the association until hazard then followed as uspa chairman until the first uspa headquarters was appropriately located in new york the center of polo at that time the association began operations on a voluntary basis of committee structure and continues as such today with a small office staff elected officers and governors serve annually along with appointed committee members uspa membership originally included seven clubs and the following year players registered and there were five new clubs in its early days of organization the association initiated changes in the number and length of time periods chukkers in a match equipment became standardized and pony training improved significantly scoring was also adjusted to allow for fractioning of points for penaltieslater abolished as an unnecessarily complex method of scoring that was replaced with free shots even before the association was formed the westchester cup one of the oldest tournaments in the world was contested in by the united states and britain this prestigious international polo tournament wimbledon and the british open were all new events in a sparse sporting calendar though the british won that first match at westchester easily the americans would use the defeat as a catalyst to improve their game strategy and the quality of their horses the association continued the series and the united states won nine of the next eleven matches including the competition when the tournament was played for the last time at meadowbrook before a crowd of the cup was not played again until when the united states defeated an australasian team in lexington kentucky the us won again against england in and later lost to the british in in another important tournament evolved the united states open the first open was won by the wanderers who scored to the freebooters the tournament resumed in and continued every year with the exception of and the us open polo championship would become polos most prestigious tournament still played annually beach florida the excitement of the sport was contagious many of the early polo matches in the s and s attracted as many as spectators this would be an impressive attendance even by todays standards yet when one considers the communication and transportation capabilities of that era it was truly incredible the center of much of this excitement was meadowbrook polo club in westbury ny the site of many of the first us open and westchester cup championships during the the westchester cup packed spectators into the stands even as polo gained in popularity across the country eventually extending west to texas california and hawaii meadowbrook would dominate the sport and be the center of polo during the first half of the century during these early years of the uspa one of the more famous players in polo was foxhall keene handicapped for years at goals and then years at goals though there were many other greats four players stood out in the s the waterbury brothers larry and monty and devereux milburn these four players were known as the original big four and won the westchester cup in and milburn would go on to play in seven international matches and established a reputation as one of the most outstanding players of all time credited with creating and leading the big four harry payne whitney played a pivotal role in the sport by helping develop a more fluid open form of play integrating better teamwork by circuit cup play began with the first uspa intercircuit cup held in the uspa claimed members and began registration of the ponies as well though pony registration would later be dropped in the s college polo came of age and indoor polo grew in popularity championed by george sherman and robert a graviss contributing to the growth of polo during this period was the us army who after joining the uspa in encouraged their members to participate in polo to improve their riding ability from that a significant role in growing and sustaining the sport of polo by adding significant numbers of players and polo ponies polos greatest era began in the years between the first and second world wars the sport not only survived the great depression but expanded into the s with increased international competition the number of registered clubs had increased to and playing membership was of which were military players louis stoddard a tengoal player and member of two westchester cup championship teams served as chairman from to he would direct and expand the uspa during the period of great change other great names in polo emerged such as tengoaler tommy hitchcock jr who reigned for years and captured americas hearts both of hitchcocks parents were strong supporters of polo his mother taught young children the game and coached many polo players to greatness thomas hitchcock sr was also an outstanding player who was rated at ten goals in by another international match the cup of the us and argentina the us team won the first two competitions however from argentina would go on to be the victor in future matches the s also saw women creating an impact on the sport though they would not become official uspa members for years to come during polos heyday it was only fitting that hollywood would become involved with this great sport with a wonderful climate for the game and the appeal for movie stars and moguls california polo expanded the geographic spread of polo led to the first eastwest match up in with the west winning two of three matches proving the westerners were a force with which to be reckoned humorist will rogers a talented player and supporter of polo was thrilled he is still remembered today as saying the hillbillies beat the dudes and took the polo championship right out of the drawing room and into the bunkhouse the great depression eventually took its toll on the fabric of american society and polo like most things began the number of civilian players dropped from to though the number of military players peaked in with registered members army polo would later disappear as the mechanization of the era outmoded the need for the cavalry from uspa tournaments were not played though polo continued on private fields chairman re strawbridge jr headed the association from followed by elbridge t gerry to and then strawbridge served again from polo survived after the war thanks in great part to cecil smith of plano texas considered one of the first professional or paid players by the number of active clubs was with uspa playing members devereux milburn jr son of the great goal star

 the higher education bubble is a hypothesis that there is a speculative boom and bust phenomenon in the field of higher education particularly in the united states and that there is the risk of an economic bubble in higher education that could have repercussions in the broader economy enrollment at more than percent of private colleges and universities declined during forcing the institutions to offer steep tuition discounts to fill seats president obama nearly doubled the federal pell grant program from billion in to billion for and the soundness of the student loan industry may be threatened by increasing default rates college students who fail to find employment at the level needed to pay back their loans in a reasonable amount of time have been compared to the debtors under subprime mortgages whose homes are worth less than what is owed to the bank discussion benjamin ginsberg explains the connection between the increased ability to pay tuition and the increase in services provided in his book the fall of the been new sorts of demands for administrative services that require more managers per student or faculty member than was true in the past the goldwater institute echoes this sentiment with its findings that between and the number of fulltime administrators per students at americas leading universities grew by percent while the number of employees engaged in teaching research or service only grew by percent as discussed below the higher education bubble is controversial and has been rejected by some economists indeed many americans still believe in the value of a college education although they are unsure about its quality and affordability data shows that the wage premiumthe difference between what those with a fouryear college degree earn and what those with only a high school education earnhas increased dramatically since the s but so has the debt load incurred by students due to the tuition inflation michael simkovic the data also suggests that notwithstanding a slight increase in student loan default rates have declined are much less likely than those without to be unemployed even though they are more expensive to employ they earn higher wages the global management consulting firm mckinsey and company projects a shortage of college trained workers and an excess supply of workers without college degrees which would cause the wage premium to increase and cause differences in unemployment rates to become even more dramatic in time ran an article education graduates and jobs a grave new world which stated that the supply of postgraduate students was around twice larger than the expected future demand in upcoming decades in us secretary of education william bennett first suggested that the availability of loans may in fact be fueling an increase in tuition prices and an education bubble this bennett hypothesis claims that readily available loans allow schools to increase tuition prices without regard to demand elasticity college rankings are partially driven by spending levels and higher tuition prices are correlated with increased public perceptions of over the past and provided more resources to students additionally schools tend to enroll fewer students as they improve student offerings and increase prices this suggests that it is in schools best interest to increase tuition prices as much as possible so long as financial aid ensures an ability to pay on the part of students and parents a variation on the higher education bubble theory suggests that there is no general bubble in higher educationthat is on average higher education really does boost income and employment by more than enough to make it a good investmentbut that degrees in some specific fields may be overvalued because they do little to boost income or improve job prospects while degrees in other fields may in fact be undervalued because students do not appreciate the extent to which these degrees could benefit their employment prospects and future income proponents of this theory have noted that schools charge equal prices for tuition regardless of what students study the interest rate on federal student loans is not adjusted according to risk and years of college are not very good at predicting future wages by major a article in the huffington post related concern that new college graduates hiring rates are up by percent and that attaining a secondary level education eventually pays off it is also suggested that high school graduates are three times more likely to live in poverty than students with higher education degrees a recent study from the labor department suggests that attaining a bachelor s degree represents a significant advantage in the job market however the article also claims that those who only have a high school educationunemployment is slightly higher at a rate of percent the proponents of the article also claim that companies are most likely to hire an applicant straight from college rather than one who has been unemployed a article in the the christian science monitor suggest ten main benefits of obtaining a degree via higher education also suggesting that a college degree pays off financially and intangibly for the graduate and overall for of higher education ran an article concerning that the future is bright for college graduates and expected to improve a rapid increase is anticipated for new bachelor s hires a survey conducted by the chronicle of higher education suggests that percent of employers plan to hire graduates from all fields of study the survey suggested stability in the upcoming job market a article in the chronicle of higher education related concern from parents wondering whether it is worth the price to send their children to college the economist in turn hypothesized that the bubble bursting may make it harder for colleges to fill their classes and that some building projects will come to a halt the boston herald further suggested the possibility of mergers closures and even bankruptcies of smaller colleges that have spent too much and taken on too much debt national review writer dan lips has proposed that the bubble s bursting may bring washington examiner that those who have financed their educations with debt may be particularly hardhit reynolds continued arguing his case in the higher education bubble where he noted that higher education as a product grows more and more elaborate and more expensive but the expense is offset by cheap credit provided by sellers who are eager to encourage buyers to buy further speculation as to the higher education bubble was the focus of a series of articles in the economist in controversy the view that higher education is a bubble is controversial most economists do not think the returns to college education are fallingin fact the data suggests the rate of return is increasing in a financial bubble assets like houses are sometimes purchased with a view to reselling at a higher price and this can produce rapidly escalating prices as people speculate on future prices an end to the spiral can provoke abrupt selling of the assets resulting in an abrupt collapse in price the bursting of the bubble education can not be sold only rented through wages there is no similar mechanism that would cause an abrupt collapse in the value of existing degrees for this reason many people find this analogy misleading however one rebuttal to the claims that a bubble analogy is misleading is the observation that the bursting of the bubble are the negative effects on students who incur student debt for example as the american association of state colleges and universities reports that students are deeper in debt today than ever before the trend of heavy debt burdens threatens to limit access to higher education particularly for lowincome and firstgeneration students who tend to carry the heaviest debt burden federal student aid policy has steadily put resources into student loan programs rather than needbased grants a trend that straps future generations with high debt burdens even students who receive federal grant aid are finding it more difficult to pay for college in this analogy the increased inability of students to pay for their debt would represent payers to bail out the government for giving out bad loans as the ratio of the aggregate debt compared to the aggregate earning potential grows to the tipping point due to the finite amount of high paying positions the limiting factor in this analogy however the data actually show that notwithstanding a slight increase in student loan default rates have declined since the mids and s and even during the recession those with college degrees are much less likely than those without to be unemployed even though they earn higher wages ohio university economist richard vedder has written in the wall street journal that a key measure of the benefits of a degree is the college graduate s earning potentialand on this score their advantage over highschool graduates is deteriorating since the gap between what the median college graduate earned compared with the median highschool graduate has narrowed by for men over working full time a fall women in the same category have fared worse a college degree s declining value is even more pronounced for younger americans according to data collected by the college board for those in the age range the differential between college graduate and high school graduate earnings fell for men to from the decline for women was an extraordinary to from meanwhile the cost of college has increased in dollars since according to the bureau of labor statistics higher education tuitionfee index critics have also pointed to possible conflicts of interest and political biases because professor vedder accepts funding from right wing political organizations some like michael wenisch of georgetown university calls the education bubble a student loan bubble and have suggested that without the continuing growth of the student loan bubble it is foreseeable that many colleges and universities will be forced to declare bankruptcy and cease operations over the next ten years alternatives to bubble theory a different proposal for the cause of rising tuition is the reduction of state and federal tuition thus it is not a bubble but a form of shifting costs away from state and federal funding over to students this has mostly applied to public universities which in for the first time have taken in more in tuition than in state funding and had the greatest increases in tuition implied from this shift away from public funding to tuition is privatization although the new york times reported that such claims are exaggerated another proposed cause of increased tuition is us congress occasional raising of the loan limits of student loans in which the increased availability of students to take out deeper loans sends a message to colleges and universities that students can afford more and then in response institutions of higher education raise tuition to match leaving the student back where he began but deeper in debt therefore if the students are able to afford a much higher amount than the free market would otherwise support for students without the ability to take out to the new higher level that the student can now afford with loan subsidies one rebuttal to that theory is the fact that even in years when loan limits have not risen tuition has still continued to climb however that may not disprove this proposed cause it may simply mean that other factors besides loan limit increases played a part in the increases in tuition a third novel theory claims that the recent change in federal law removing all standard consumer protections truth in lending bankruptcy proceedings statutes of limits the right to refinance adherence to usury laws and fair debt amp collection practices etc strips students of the ability to declare bankruptcy and in response the lenders and colleges know that students defenseless to declare bankruptcy are on the hook for any amount that they borrow including late fees and interest which can be capitalized and increase the principal loan amount thus removing the incentive to provide the student with a of this theory it has been shown that returning bankruptcy protections and other standard consumer protections to student loans would cause lenders to be more cautious thereby causing a sharp decline in the availability of student loans which in turn would decrease the influx of dollars to colleges and universities who in turn would have to sharply decrease tuition to match the lower availability of funds under this theory if student loans did not have the ability to file for bankruptcy it would be more profitable for the lender if the student defaulted due to the increases in the amount of the loan after fees and interest are capitalized and thus there is no free market pressuretype motive for the lender or the college to help the student avoid default this is especially true because the government if it is the lender or guarantor of the loan has the ability to garnish the borrower s wages tax return and social security disability income without a court order some have which will have such a high default rate since the default rate for student loans is projected to reach of all federal dollars disbursed to students at forprofit colleges in budget lifetime default rate loan default rate only meaning that of all loans contain of all dollars loaned out economic and social commentator gary north has remarked at lewrockwellcom that to speak of college as a bubble is silly a bubble does not pop until months or years after the funding ceases there is no indication that the funding for college education will cease azar nafisi johns hopkins university professor and bestselling author of reading lolita in tehran has stated on the pbs newshour that a purely economic analysis of a higher education bubble is incomplete recommendations based on the available data recommendations to address rising tuition have been advanced by experts and consumer and students rights advocates tax the endowment income of universities and link the endowment tax to ways to reduce costs of instructor and administrator expenditures eg cut salaries andor reduce staff state and federal governments should increase appropriations grants and contracts to colleges and universities federal state and local governments should reduce the regulatory burden on colleges and universities the federal government should enact partial or total loan forgiveness for students who have taken out student loans loan forgiveness does not require the printing of new dollars ie too much money chasing too few goods and so it can not in this way directly result in inflation of the currency federal lawmakers should return standard consumer protections truth in lending bankruptcy proceedings statutes of limitations etc to student loans which were removed by the passage of the bankruptcy reform act of pl enacted october which amended the ffelp federal family education loan program cut lender subsidies decrease student reliance on loans to pay for college the amount a student may borrow regulatory or legislative action to lower or freeze the tuition such as canada s tuition freeze model should be enacted by federal lawmakers potential downsides to tuitionfreezing guarantees are evident being offered by only few dozen colleges under the guarantees the student s tuition does not change for the extent of their education each year s freshmen pay a higher rate which is then guaranteed through their years in college about in college students transfers to another school at some point if tuition freezes become the default model for colleges students would feel less able to change schools because they would be entering at a new probably higher tuition more research should be done recognised financial expert mark kantrowitz issued the following recommendations the national center for education statistics should increase the frequency of the national postsecondary student aid study to annual from triennial in order to permit more timely tracking of the factors affecting tuition rate increases should take steps to improve the efficiency of the data collection and publication for the digest of education statistics so that all tables will include more recent data the most recent data listed in some tables is five years old the us department of education should study the relationship between increases in average efc expected family contribution figures and average tuition rates in addition it would be worthwhile to examine how historical average efc figures have changed relative to family income when measured on a current and constant dollar basis for each income quartile other popular ways to address the rising tuition problems faced by students include completing your general education requirements at a community college which is much cheaper than initially going to a university obtaining scholarships and other financial aid as well as looking for ways to pay instate tuition lastly in order to cope with the rising cost of tuition many students have started working parttime when it comes to getting a job after college to further cope suggested that the best move might be to get a job while in college to facilitate these recommendations some colleges help students in job searches and job placement after graduation see also college tuition in the united states edfund free education higher education higher education price index postsecondary education private university

 allegiance type flightsquadron the th test and evaluation squadron tes was a squadron in the united states air force under the claimancy of the tactical air command tac it is currently inactive the product of project constant peg the unit was created to expose the tactical air forces to the flight characteristics of fighter aircraft used by soviet union during the cold war the declassified history of the squadron shows that it operated migs migs and migs between and but it was not formally disbanded until july the mission of constant peg was to train air force united states navy and united states marine corps pilots and weapon systems officers in air combat tactics against these foreign aircraft and was instrumental in the redevelopment of dissimilar air combat training dact methods developed after the end of the vietnam war today s usaf aggressor training squadrons can symbolically trace their histories back to the th as well as the paint motifs on their aircraft which were used s history the longest continuing united states classified military airplane program is the testing and evaluation of foreign aircraft technology during the cold war secret test flying of mikoyanandgurevich design bureau mig and other soviet aircraft was an ongoing mission dating back to the acquisition of the first sovietbuilt yakovlev yak in this effort has continued to the present day unlike the other black airplane programs such as the have blue lockheed u or sr blackbird foreign aircraft technology operations still remain classified despite the declassification of the constant peg program in the evaluation of foreign aircraft likely continues it is not known exactly the actual number or types of aircraft involved where they came from or the complete history of the program it is known that the activities of the th test and evaluation squadron brought about a fundamental change in united states air force and united states navy united states marine corps air combat tactics they revitalized the art of dogfighting at a time when seemingly from testing the aircraft the squadron flew was reflected in the success of united states air operations during the vietnam war as well as the founding of the air force s red flag program and the united states navy s topgun school origins in the late s a new generation of united states fighters was being developed as a result of the development of airtoair missiles fighter aircraft such as the us navy s fh phantom ii were developed later redesignated the f in the aircraft was the first fighter designed from the start with only airtoair missiles carrying both radarguided aim sparrow iii and the shorterrange aim sidewinder infraredguided missiles with the new missiles came the new attitude that dogfighting was obsolete the airtoair training given to new navy and marine corps f crews was extremely limited it involved about ten flights and provided little useful information by few in the navy and marine corps were left to carry on the tradition of classic dogfighting then came the vietnam war vietnam showed the faith placed in missiles was terribly in error between and the bombing halt in the usaf had a to kill ratio the us navy was doing slightly better with a to rate for roughly every two north vietnamese mig frescos or mig fishbeds shot down an american f phantom ii f thunderchief or f crusader would be lost this was far worse than the plus to kill rate during the korean war more serious the percentage of united states fighters being lost in airtoair combat was growing during only percent of us aircraft losses were due to migs this rose to percent in then climbed to percent for the first three months of the emphasis on airtoair missile interception meant the fighter combat crews had only the sketchiest knowledge of dogfighting originally conceived as a naval fleet air defense aircraft and later adapted as an air force fighterbomber the design of the f made it illsuited for the f was large and heavy when a tight turn was made the f would lose energy and airspeed the mig s superior turning capability then allowed it to close to gun range all too often hits from the mig s outmoded cannons would then destroy the f under the have doughnut and have drill programs the first migs flown in the united states were used to evaluate the aircraft in performance and technical capabilities as well as in operational capability pitting the types against us fighters the data from the have doughnut and have drill tests were provided to the newly formed united states navy fighter weapons school topgun at nas miramar california during the remainder of the vietnam war the navy kill ratio climbed to to in contrast the air force rate improved only slightly to to the reason for this difference was topgun the navy to include the marine corps had revitalized its air combat training while the air force were by topgun graduates by the have drill program was expanded a few selected fleet f crews were given the chance to fight the migs the most important result of project have drill is that no navy pilot who flew in the project defeated the mig fresco in the first engagement the have drill dogfights were by invitation only the other pilots based at nellis air force base were not to know about the usoperated migs to prevent any sightings the airspace above the groom lake portion of the nellis range was closed on aeronautical maps the exercise area was marked in red ink the forbidden zone became known as red square the idea of a more realistic training program for the air force was devised by usaf colonel gail peck a vietnam veteran f pilot who was dissatisfied with his service s fighter pilot training after the war he worked at the department of defense where he heard about the have drill and have doughnut programs he won the support of constant peg named after vandenberg s callsign constant and peck s wife peg migs tactical air command established the th test and evaluation flight as the formal usaf testing unit on april it began with three migs two migfs and a mig loaned by israel who had captured them from the syrian air force and iraqi air force later it added migs from the indonesian air force by the late s united states mig operations were undergoing another change in the late s the mig and migf were still frontline aircraft a decade later they had been superseded by latermodel migs and new aircraft such as the mig fortunately a new source of supply of soviet aircraft became available egypt in the mids relations between egypt and the soviet union had become strained and soviet advisers were ordered out the soviets had provided the egyptian air force with migs since the mids now with their traditional source out of the picture united states companies for parts to support their latemodel migs and migs very soon a deal was made according to one account two mig fighter bombers were given to the united states by egyptian president anwar sadat the planes were disassembled and shipped from egypt to edwards air force base they were then transferred initially to groom lake for reassembly and study in the us air force bought new shenyang fbs from china for use in the constant peg program at the same time it retired the remaining migf fishbeds acquired from indonesia the united states operated migs received special designations there was the practical problem of what to call the aircraft this was solved by giving them numbers in the century series the migs and shenyang fbs were called the yf the original designation for the usaf fc while the migs were called the yf the focus of air force systems command afsc limited the use of the migs as tools with which to understand the performance tactical air command was interested in training the front line tactical fighter pilots air force systems command recruited its mig pilots from the air force flight test center at edwards air force base california who were usually graduates from either the air force test pilot school at edwards or the naval test pilot school at nas patuxent river maryland tactical air command selected its mig pilots primarily from the ranks of the weapons school and aggressors at nellis afb similarly the us navy and us marine corps pilots were recruited from the graduates of the naval fighter weapons school better known as top gun the aircraft were collected at the department of energy s tonopah test range where they were flown by the squadron the squadron operated migs until but mostly migs and migs aggressor training the lackluster performance of usaf fighter pilots against north vietnamese air force mig pilots over the skies of vietnam was studied by the united states air force fighter weapons school at nellis afb nevada during the early s maneuvers was a major cause of the low airtoair kill rate as well some technical limitations in the f phantom ii the primary fighter in use by the air force over the skies of vietnam the th fighter weapons squadron part of the fighter weapons school had flown its fs against the have ferry migf which was fundamentally different than flying against the f thunderchief and other united states fighters it was believed that by developing a squadron dedicated to dissimilar air combat training dact against pilots trained in soviet fighter tactics and to equip it with an aircraft with flight characteristics similar to the migs they would face in combat combat training would change from one pilot in an f flying against another f to flying against another pilot who in a fundamentally different aircraft would think and fly like a soviet pilot the th fighter weapons squadron equipped with northrop t talons was activated in october as the usaf s first aggressor squadron its pilots were trained against the soviet migs at groom lake air command pilots employing known soviet fighter tactics against them in airtoair combat training they were also trained to fly against acquired soviet air defense systems similar to those that us pilots had faced in north vietnam the pilots of the th were also wellseasoned combat veterans of the vietnam war many with distinguished flying crosses and over combat missions over north vietnam beginning in the spring of the squadron began deploying to tac bases in the united states to perform dact training against f pilots the training program was successful and beginning in november a largescale exercise red flag was held at nellis afb where training was held on a large scale the acquired soviet air defense radar was installed at several locations on the nellis range and simulated soviet integrated missile and antiaircraft artillery batteries similar to that what was faced in vietnam and by israeli pilots during the yom kippur war were set up selected tac pilots were taken to groom lake to train against the have ferry mig squadron was established as the second aggressor squadron with the fall of saigon the united states had some fe tiger ii fighter aircraft in storage which were paid for by congress to send to the south vietnamese air force the ts used by the aggressor squadrons were trainers and similar to the f but were not combat aircraft and were not ideal in the role of simulating the performance of the soviet mig however the higherperformance fe was when south vietnam collapsed the ts were replaced by the fes as the aggressor aircraft the circumstances also made the creation of two more aggressor squadrons in the th tactical fighter training squadron at clark air base philippines to train pacaf pilots and the th tactical fighter training aggressor squadron at raf alconbury england to train usafe pilots establishment of the th during the s the number of acquired soviet aircraft increased to include migs and migs the number of aircraft and the expanded use of the facility at groom lake to train it was decided to move the aggressor training program to a less secure remote facility the tonopah test range airport was only miles to the northwest of groom lake and was on the controlled aec tonopah test range fitted the need for a new home the aec airport had the potential for improvement and expansion with the only public land overlooking the base miles away although not as hidden as groom lake the airport would be remote enough to operate the soviet aircraft in fact the security surrounding the tonopah test range was so effective that the new base was not publicly reported as an air force military airfield until on april tactual air command established the th test and evaluation flight which assumed the personnel and equipment of the undesignated testing unit at groom lake and moved the program to tonopah tra the unit was officially assigned to nellis afb under the th fighter weapons wing two pilots of the th died flying the soviet planes the pilots had no manuals for the was there a consistent supply of spare parts which had to be refurbished or manufactured at high cost on august a pilot lost control of the squadron s migf usaf serial us navy lieutenant m hugh brown of the us navy s test and evaluation squadron four vx bandit originally of roanoke virginia entered a spin while dogfighting a us navy f brown recovered but entered a second irrecoverable spin too low to eject the plane hit the ground at a steep angle near the tonopah test range airfield boundary killing the pilot instantly on october usaf captain mark postai crashed with a mig on april usaf lieutenant general robert m bobby bond then vice commander of air force systems command died attempting to eject after losing control of his mig while supersonic a few hours after the crash headquarters air force systems command at andrews air force base maryland vice commander air force systems command was killed today in an accident while flying in an air force specially modified test aircraft threestar generals do not generally fly test missions so bond s death attracted press interest the fact that the air force also refused to identify the type of plane also raised questions early reports claimed he had been flying a supersecret stealth fighter prototype the death of a threestar general led the air force to reveal that it was flying soviet aircraft a boulevard cutoff between eglin air force base main base and hurlburt field in florida is named in his honor end of operations near the end of the cold war the program was ostensibly abandoned and the squadron was disbanded flight operations at tonopah closed down in march although the th was not inactivated until july according to one official air force history in the interim a handful of pilots flew continuation training ct sorties at groom lake the decision to the fact that a new generation of soviet aircraft was entering service and also the inevitable round of budget cuts from washington the assets of the squadron could not go to the boneyard at davismonthan afb and the fate of them remains in some cases still classified several of the fs mig were sent to museums or now are on static display some of the airplanes may have been broken up and its rumored that some were buried in the nevada desert also a few were used for target practice on air force weapons ranges ongoing foreign technology evaluation after the tes was inactivated the remaining assets were reconstituted as a detachment of the th fighter wing at nellis afb now known as detachment rd test and evaluation group anecdotal evidence suggests that exploitation of foreign aircraft today has returned to the original hierarchy seen in the s and s when have idea became the umbrella program for exploiting foreign tactical fighters the assets are exploited first for performance successor to afsc before air force combat command the successor to tac is then given access to the aircraft for tactical exploitation there have been multiple sightings of foreign aircraft over nevada since the end of constant peg and the inactivation of the th tes in a march article on groom lake in popular science a photo was published of an su fitter in flight the plane was painted in a green and tan finish the su is a swingwing lightattack aircraft it was in frontline russian air force service at the time and was exported widely to eastern european and thirdworld countries during the s and s also in the united states and

 accidental life sluajni ivot is a croatian drama film directed by ante peterli starring dragutin klobuar ivo serdar ana kari and zvonimir rogoz accidental life an existential study of ordinary lives led by two alienated urban white collar workers was the debut feature film of ante peterli croatian film theorist and film critic the film received mediocre reviews and went largely unnoticed after its release but has been reevaluated decades later as one of the best croatian films ever made plot filip dragutin klobuar and stanko ivo serdar are two young clerks who share an office in a nondescript company the two are also amateur rowers who train together their personalities are quite different while filip is fastidious serious in relationships with women and somewhat introverted and sensitive stanko is a womanizer and prone to shirking his duties at work still they spend most of they time together in the office during the day and going out in the evening looking for female company all trying desperately to escape from the tedium of everyday life they see their senior colleague jurak zvonimir rogoz as a dinosaur dreading the possibility of becoming like him as they grow older filip falls in love with an attractive female coworker and as the events gradually unfold differences in character between the two men create a simmering conflict background and production by the time ante peterli set out to direct accidental life his debut feature film he was already well known as a prominent young film critic and a professor of film theory at the faculty of humanities and social sciences in zagreb in the s he directed his first short tv drama and was active as an assistant director in several feature films and documentaries working also as a script doctor the role of stanko was initially intended for zvonimir rnko but he was busy shooting a tv series he felt that klobuar was better suited for the character of filip the more introverted protagonist so stanko s role ultimately went to ivo serdar due to budget constraints the film was shot quickly with a small crew peterli likened the nearamateur filming conditions to those prevalent in the french new wave his main influence at the time still he saw accidental life as a work that rather than being a new wave film per se projects a newwavelike atmosphere by striving to tell the truth about its times and about my generation by using a more modern way of storytelling themes croatian film critic jurica pavii describes accidental life as typical in many respects for the croatian cinema of the late s which was increasingly moving away from historical rural settings and adopting urban themes and sensibilities the two protagonists are members of the lost generation who are urban loners with no ambition or direction in life they are also people with no past which makes them an oddity in a still traditional society which highly values family background and kinship the film s portrayal of a faceless dehumanized workplace is highly reminiscent of il posto a film by ermanno olmi accidental life thus largely reflected the modernist sensibilities of its era but opted for a classicist visual approach as a fan of howard hawks and john ford peterli preferred the subtle invisible style of directing using simple functional shots over the more extravagant modernist film techniques reception accidental life was shown at the pula film festival receiving mediocre reviews from the critics during its fiveweek theatrical run in gri cinema in zagreb the film s earnings recovered its budget despite receiving multiple recommendations in cahiers du cinma the renowned french film magazine it went largely unnoticed in yugoslavia a possible reason for the film s tepid reception is because it did cinema of the era it was far from populist storytelling yet with its absence of pronounced symbolism original motifs or more extravagant camera and editing work seemed too bland for the proponents of modernist cinema peterli s student and fellow film theorist hrvoje turkovi found some reactions to the film to be malicious arguing that peterli s earlier work as a film critic motivated many to use the opportunity to get even peterli did not return to directing and accidental life remained his only feature film as his academic career was taking off he felt that it made no sense to pursue film directing a field in which his contributions were not appreciated ultimately peterli came to be best known for his scholarly work which earned him the title of the father of croatian film studies largely forgotten for decades accidental life has been reevaluated in a much more favorable light in the s when it began to appear in several critics alltime among croatian film critics and film historians accidental life placed th in the list of alltime best croatian films

 the singapore grand prix formally the formula singtel singapore grand prix was a formula one motor race that was held on september at the marina bay street circuit in singapore it was the fourteenth round of the formula one season and the twelfth time the singapore grand prix had been held the race contested over laps was won by red bull s sebastian vettel the drivers championship leader after starting from pole position jenson button finished in second place for mclaren and mark webber completed the podium in third position as a consequence of the race vettel extended his lead in the world drivers championship to points over button who moved up to second place in the championship fernando alonso and webber third and fourth in the championship were eliminated from championship contention in the world constructors championship red bull extended their championship lead over mclaren to points with ferrari a further points behind in win the championship title report background the buildup to the race was marked by accusations that red bull racing had violated the resource restriction agreement in accusations that the team denied the rra is an agreement between members of the formula one teams association designed to cut costs within the sport the agreement outlines the teams projected budgets including both financial and nonfinancial elements such as the amount of time spent using a wind tunnel for upcoming seasons and limits them to using only as much as they had agreed upon following an audit from a dutch consultancy firm it was reported that red bull had violated the rra when other teams including mclaren ferrari mercedes and sauber had passed the inspection vitantonio liuzzi was handed a fiveplace grid penalty for the race for causing an accident on the first lap of the his hrt team added a tribute to christian bakkerud onto their cars after bakkerud who raced in the hours of le mans twice for hrt principal colin kolles team scuderia toro rosso inadvertently broke one of its curfews when team principal franz tost arrived at the circuit too early because the singapore grand prix is a night race it starts at pm local time instead of pm as the european races do meaning that the timetable of events is different for the duration of the grand prix weekend the curfew period is officially defined as the nine hours before the first practice session and therefore takes up daylight hours at singapore instead of the earlymorning hours in europe as tost entered the circuit before the curfew had expired the team were considered to have used up one of the four waivers to the curfew that all teams were allocated for red bull mercedes and virgin all fell afoul of the different timetable on the saturday morning all three teams later had their curfew exemptions restored after they demonstrated that the early staff members who originally broke the curfew were not involved with working on their cars tyre supplier pirelli brought its yellowbanded soft compound tyre as the harder option compound as opposed to the previous year where bridgestone brought the medium compound as the prime a single drs drag reduction system zone was used in the race the detection point was located at turn with the drs activation point m after the turn apex this resulted in plenty of passing into the turn braking zone the race marked the th grand prix of sbastien buemi who made his debut at the australian grand prix and was sebastian vettel s th race for red bull free practice the first practice session was delayed by half an hour to allow for circuit repairs to take place competitors in the porsche carrera cup asia support races dislodged plastic kerbing on republic boulevard and esplanade drive forcing the grand prix practice session to be delayed while the offending parts were removed and the circuit deemed safe when the circuit was reopened the practice session was shortened to one hour instead of the prescribed ninety minutes lewis hamilton finished the session fastest who was a second faster than his teammate mark webber webber had previously had an ontrack encounter with timo glock that destroyed his front wing and gave glock a puncture which ended his session the session was interrupted several minutes later when heikki kovalainen s lotus t caught fire in almost exactly the same place that his car caught alight in the session was stopped while kovalainen s car was retrieved and restarted only to be stopped again ten minutes from the end of the hour felipe massa had hit a kerb dislodging it and exposing the bolt that was supposed to secure it in place the session restarted with three minutes remaining before the circuit was repaired ahead of the second practice session fernando alonso was fourth followed by jenson button and massa narain karthikeyan drove the hrt for the first time since valencia in this session in preparation for his drive at his home race in india he finished the session th and last one tenth slower than teammate daniel ricciardo of the second practice session with kerbing at turn removed when the lights went green the lotus mechanics were still trying to rebuild kovalainen s car jenson button s session ended prematurely when he locked his brakes and stopped just before the wall at turn and was unable to restart the car however the time he had recorded until then was fast enough to be tenth overall at the end of the session sbastien buemi s session was also ended early when he collided with the barriers at turn going too fast through the corner and damaging his suspension teammate jaime alguersuari also had little running before a mechanical problem ended his session while paul di resta s session was also shortened after a hydraulic brakes issue limited him to eight laps in the session vitaly petrov had been scheduled to run upgraded bodywork parts on his renault r but the team discovered the car overheated and were forced to abandon the new parts until suzuka vettel set the quickest time in the massa webber and michael schumacher completing the top six circuit repairs took place overnight in an effort to improve the kerbing and prevent the race weekend from being further disrupted the kerbs at turn and turn were removed entirely and replaced with painted markings with the drivers to be briefed on what would be considered an acceptable racing line through the affected corners the kerb at the entry to turn was likewise removed but with no further plans to replace it while efforts were made to secure the kerbs at turn and the singapore sling chicane the fia was unwilling to commit to one definitive plan instead opting to reassess the situation once the initial work had been completed and again after the third practice session the drivers expressed indifference towards the changes with felipe massa commenting that it s not a big change having or not having it though he did point out that several drivers felt the kerbs at turn were unnecessary and that the fia should consider the kerbs qualifying qualifying was marked by a distinct spread across the grid with several teams reproducing similar times between their drivers comfortably separated from other teams sebastian vettel was fastest in the first period half a second clear of jenson button as the session drew on it became clear that several teams were in danger of being eliminated vitaly petrov spent most of the session in th and improved on his final run but team mate bruno senna was faster and relegated petrov on his final lap petrov blamed a small error for compromising his run briefly losing control of the back end of the car just enough to change his tyre pressures and costing him the tenth of a second he would have needed to advance to q senna claimed he had been impeded by jaime alguersuari on his flying lap but the incident was not investigated heikki kovalainen qualified ahead of jarno trulli followed by the virgins of timo glock and jrme dambrosio and the hispanias of daniel ricciardo outqualifying vitantonio liuzzi for for causing a collision on the first lap of the italian grand prix two weeks previously but made no effect to his grid position of th the second session was redflagged when kamui kobayashi crashed at the turn chicane missing the first apex his sauber c was launched into the air by the kerb on the second apex throwing him into the barriers qualifying was halted while the car was retrieved and debris from the crash cleared away kobayashi s crash meant that he would fail to set a lap time and would start from seventeenth on the grid when the session was restarted vettel once ageain led the way lewis hamilton attempted a second flying lap during the session but was forced to pit almost straight away when he picked up a puncture in his rightrear tyre under the sporting regulations hamilton would not be allowed to replace the damaged set of tyres with a fresh one thereby depriving him of a set of option tyres for the race kobayashi s teammate sergio prez to q but was knocked out at the last moment by paul di resta the mexican driver qualified eleventh ahead of the williams pair of rubens barrichello and pastor maldonado sbastien buemi and jaime alguersuari were fourteenth and sixteenth for scuderia toro rosso split by the lone renault of bruno senna although this made it the first time since the canadian grand prix that both force indias had made it into q the third session began with four drivers queueing at the end of pit lane an unusual sight in formula one as they would all be running in the dirty air generated by the cars in front however with a full lap of the marina bay circuit taking almost two minutes to complete the drivers would have to race get back to the pits on their inlap if they intended to make a second run jenson button led fernando alonso felipe massa and hamilton out of the pits hamilton later faced criticism for an aggressive move on felipe massa at turn on the compromising his flying lap as speed carried into the final corner would translate into a faster lap time massa questioned why hamilton felt the need for such an aggressive move as opposed to slowing on his outlap to allow for clear running force india also received criticism when both their drivers again elected to stay in the pits rather than set a flying lap mercedes michael schumacher followed a similar approach but did leave the pits in order to line up ahead of them sebastian vettel who had waited in pit for the queue of cars to clear once again rose to provisional pole jenson button was second until hamilton and mark webber claimed second in succession button took third from hamilton with his second flying lap but hamilton was held in the pits with a fuel problem long enough that he would not have enough time to navigate the circuit and get back to the start line before the chequered flag fell and he had to settle for fourth alonso and massa were fifth and sixth lap time in seventh vettel attempted to set a second lap time but made a mistake and aborted the lap however his original time was still fast enough for pole position his eleventh of the season the end result meant that the red bull cars occupied the first row of the grid the mclarens the second with both ferraris on the third row mercedes completing the fourth and the force indias the fifth row race at the start vettel kept his lead into the first corner while teammate webber fell to fourth hamilton tried to take webber after a good start for third place but had to back out and fell to seventh button and alonso s good starts put them into second and third in the race there was contact between massa and rosberg at turn forcing rosberg to run straight across turn and filter in just behind webber he conceded the place back to massa later in the lap ricciardo also made contact forcing him to schumacher on lap repassing him on the run to turn before passing rosberg for sixth on the next lap on lap glock crashed at the final turn and retired with rear suspension damage whilst on the same lap webber dived down alonso s outside into turn alonso then ran a bit wide allowing webber to come down the outside again and take the position from him with a bold move at turn alonso pitted on the next lap switching from the option to the prime tyres meanwhile hamilton and massa both pitted on lap ferrari winning the pit stop battle and with massa staying in fifth place and alonso emerging at turn just in front of the pair despite being held up by barrichello alonso would also move back ahead of webber when webber made his pit stop hamilton attacked immediately on the out lap and made contact with massa at turn when hamilton tried to go around the outside of the corner he causing both drivers massa with a right rear puncture dropping him down to nineteenth and hamilton for a new front wing to pit again hamilton was later given a drive through penalty for causing an avoidable collision behind vettel and button di resta had moved into third after running a different strategy to the majority of his rivals he kept this place until lap when he conceded it to alonso at turn he pitted not long after this and fell to eighth behind teammate sutil webber closed up behind alonso and was half a second behind by lap before alonso pitted for the second time rosberg ran wide at the final corner on lap which allowed prez and schumacher to close up on rosberg prez took the defensive line for turn and schumacher attempted to go around the outside prez held the racing line and schumacher ran into the back of him scattering debris across the track schumacher later described the incident as a racing brake as early as he did schumacher retired while prez continued on relatively unscathed the safety car was deployed while the debris was cleared with many drivers electing to make pit stops and as a result vettel s lead of more than seconds was wiped out at the restart vettel immediately pulled out a second lead over second placed button who was stuck behind a train of backmarkers led by jarno trulli trulli was lapped by kobayashi at turn while button attempted to get past them webber passed alonso down the inside into the singapore sling chicane later describing the manoeuvre as spectacular martin brundle also described the overtake as opportunistic even despite this overtake webber was already five seconds behind button meanwhile hamilton began his recovery following his drive through penalty and was up to sixth place on lap before passing di resta the following lap kobayashi was later given a drivethrough penalty for ignoring blue flags when button had been stuck behind for over a gearbox failure on lap webber pitted and changed to the option tyre on lap and was temporarily overtaken by hamilton button pitted the next lap and changed to another set of option tyres this allowed vettel to cover button and he pitted the next lap as he exited the pits the lotus of heikki kovalainen was released into his path but he drove past kovalainen in the pit lane exit alonso also made his stop on the same lap as vettel leaving him behind webber this time with seven laps to go hamilton passed di resta once again for fifth place as teammate button set the race s fastest lap massa also managed to get back into the points after his clash with hamilton as he passed barrichello and prez to move into ninth mclaren were still trying to pressure vettel and button closed the gap to under fround seconds by the time vettel had cleared lapped traffic unfortunately for him button also had to clear this traffic and just cars alguersuari crashed at turn on the penultimate lap ending his day but classified in st vettel was caught behind the massaprez scrap for ninth on the final lap as button backed out of his fight for victory massa missed the chance to take eighth from sutil by having to let vettel through thus vettel took his third successive victory leading from lightstoflag for the first time since the european grand prix he was followed over the line by button who was only seconds behind by the end of the race and took his fourth podium in a row webber completed the podium followed by alonso and hamilton di resta scored his best finish in formula one with sixth place ahead of rosberg sutil massa and prez who rounded out the points postrace the result of the race meant that vettel had not already won his second world championship but with hamilton failing to beat vettel alonso failing to stand on the podium and drivers were eliminated from championship contention button became the only man who could stop vettel now finishing second in the race and moving up to second place in the drivers championship he was points behind vettel with only points still available which meant that even if button won all of the remaining races vettel needed just one tenth place to retain his world title this result also meant it was possible for red bull to clinch their second successive constructors world title in japan by scoring points more than mclaren massa expressed frustration with hamilton publically criticising him after the race he was already annoyed at hamilton following an incident in qualifying where hamilton lunged down massa s inside attempting to pass on an outlap massa also went up to hamilton in the postrace tv interview area as he was about to start an interview with rtl television patted his shoulder and sarcastically said good job bro classification qualifying notes adrian sutil circuit in q while michael schumacher only drove an outlap so they did not set a lap time kamui kobayashi crashed on his outlap in q and so failed to set a lap time vitantonio liuzzi was

 last day of the dinosaurs is a discovery channel television documentary about the extinction of the dinosaurs it portrays the alvarez hypothesis as the cause of extinction production the dinosaur models created for clash of the dinosaurs were reused for this program the parasaurolophus model was used for charonosaurus even though the legs of charonosaurus were shorter than those of parasaurolophus the deinonychus model was used for saurornithoides rather inaccurately as saurornithoides was slenderer than deinonychus and the sauroposeidon model was used for alamosaurus even though alamosaurus had different proportions than sauroposeidon the same tyrannosaurus triceratops ankylosaurus and quetzalcoatlus different backdrops most of the time than those used in clash of the dinosaurs plot the events of last day of the dinosaurs takes place in the what are now pacific northwest of north america central mexico and mongolia during the cretaceoustertiary extinction event in the pacific northwest of north america towering granite mountains rise above a lush forested valley full of vegetation including ferns and trees this is the domain of the ultimate forms of ancient evolution dinosaurs a quetzalcoatlus is a large flying pterosaur its soaring above the valley during a rainstorm down on the valley floor it spots an unguarded nest of dinosaur eggs the tyrannosaurus rex hatchlings are defenseless the pterosaur flies down and lands it goes and eats several of the eggs and chicks meanwhile the father tyrannosaurus is hunting for prey in the forest when its acute sense of smell alerts it to the intruder at the nest and the dinosaur runs back towards the nest the arrives it tries to fly off but its huge wings prevent it from flying in the thick forest the tyrannosaurus rex repeatedly lunges and tries to kill it it finally takes off just as the father tyrannosaurus lunges biting off the pterosaur s foot but it manages to fly away later a male triceratops loses a fight for mating rights against another male triceratops two trex hear the commotion and close in to hunt down the loser the losing triceratops is suddenly ambushed by two tyrannosaurus rex the dinosaur turns and runs but the tyrannosaurs follow forcing the slow herbivore to turn and fight one of the tyrannosaurus goes behind the triceratops and bites down on its hind legs whilst the second predator bites down on its neck killing it the two tyrannosaurus rex feast on their prey meanwhile in mongolia a herd of charonosaurus is drinking at a watering hole in a sheltered valley full of bushes a saurornithoides steals an egg from charonosaurus follows and the raptor hides in a cove it tries to eat the egg but the mother arrives and bellows its rage the raptor however has summoned its team mate outnumbered the mother hadrosaur flees but the two raptors race after it they jump onto the fleeing dinosaur and hold on biting and shredding the flesh the hadrosaur finally stumbles and collapses before dying of blood loss the two saurornithoides feast on their prey in what is today central mexico a large herd of alamosaurus is roaming the plains in search of food meanwhile an sixmile wide asteroid formed from the collision of two asteroids million years earlier enters the earth s atmosphere the scorching asteroid hits the earth at a degree angle in the gulf of mexico near the yucatan peninsula creating a massive explosion and sending debris flying into the air one minute after impact the explosion heats the air temperature near the crash site to degrees fahrenheit hundreds of alamosaurus are burned alive after impact seismic shock waves trigger an earthquake that rips through the ground and knocks over many other sauropods and stuns them the stunned sauropods die from internal wounds and finally three minutes after impact the blast pulse wave radiates outward in a perfect circle from the crash site the blast wave hits and blows away the remaining sauropods even though the dinosaurs weigh tonnes most of the eggs in the sauropod s nests have also been destroyed but some eggs buried under the cool soil have survived the effects of the collision begins to affect the animals in the british columbia ten minutes after impact an magnitude earthquake ripples through the valley floor trees begin collapsing and falling debris litters the ground and small mammals run into burrows birds fly away the tremors drive animals to flee from the valley though several triceratops and ankylosaurus are engulfed by the degree ejecta cloud thrown up into the air by the asteroid s impact the dinosaurs hit by the ejecta cloud are of microscopic dust ash and sand particles it passes over the valley whilst travelling at miles per hour fifteen minutes after impact the ejecta cloud has spread to the pacific northwest from the gulf of mexico and threatens to incirculate the entire planet in ash a mating pair of quetzalcoatlus tries to fly away but pieces of flaming debris shower the valley and the male pterosaur is knocked from the sky to his death the burning rock also injures the female forcing it to land just thirty minutes have passed since the asteroid hit the soaring temperatures create high humidity in the valley and force the triceratops to keep moving many of the dead dinosaurs provide plentiful food for the hungry tyrannosaurs unfortunately the flaming debris create massive firestorms that devastate forests of the pacific northwest just one day has passed since the impact down in the valley the air pressure plummets and ignites a firestorm the tinder dry vegetation ignites instantly the panicked animals race and herds of triceratops flee in terror the temperature in the valley reaches degrees f the trees burn fiercely and ankylosaurus struggles to get away the female quetzalcoatlus stands over the male pterosaur s body and screeches but then panics when the vegetation around it catches fire the pterosaur manages to take off despite her tattered wings but leaves her dead mate behind smaller animals are able to hide underground but the larger animals are forced to flee from the fire forty five minutes have passed since the impact in mongolia the superheated ejecta cloud rolls in silently from the east the burning cloud increases the temperature around mongolia by several degrees every second by the time the temperature reached degrees the hope was shelter by degrees the survival was measured in minutes when the temperature reaches degrees no more than seconds finally the temperature reaches degrees causing the charonosaurus and the saurornithoides to run inside a cave for finally decrease in five hours the saurornithoides run outside and start feeding on charonosaurus corpse soon most of the surviving charonosaurus go to the watering hole although one stays inside the cave meanwhile the ejecta cloud has caused a huge sandstorm due to degree baking temperature that kills all but a single charonosaurus protected in the cave the others die because their lungs fill up with sand as they struggle to breathe in the sandstorm they suffocate and are quickly buried by sand and dust the saurornithoides manage to hide from the worst of the storm by crouching behind a dead dinosaur but the sandstorm buries their meal one day has passed since impact the hungry saurornithoides return to the watering hole where the last remaining charonosaurus is drinking the saurornithoides are desperately hungry yet are weak from their ordeal one of the only to be killed when the dinosaur collapsed on the raptor crushing it with her weight the remaining saurornithoides resorts to eating the dead body of its companion three four days have passed since impact food is in critical supply across the entire planet in the pacific northwest four triceratops head towards an unscathed lush island in search of food the rest of the continent has been stripped of vegetation by firestorms and falling debris however when the asteroid hit the earth it caused an earthquake under the ocean this forms a huge megatsunami but also causes the water to recede and form a dry land bridge to the island all but one of the triceratops walk across the land bridge to the island the weak female quetzalcoatlus lands and eats a stranded fish meanwhile the foot tall megatsunami builds and races towards the shore the pterosaur takes off but is caught into the vast wave it by deluging the island and only one triceratops which did not cross to the island has survived the others are drowned by the flood of water in days that follow few dinosaurs remain ten days have passed since impact in mongolia the starving charonosaurus stays close to the watering hole but collapses and dies from inhaling hydrogen sulfide fumes from the bubbling watering hole the saurornithoides runs up to the dead charonosaurus but before it can start feeding it too collapses and is killed by the poisonous gas the refuge was turned into death trap one and a half month have passed since the impact in the pacific northwest only a handful of dinosaurs patrol the gray wasteland an ankylosaurus severely weakened by hunger finds a small bush but is almost forced to fight a wandering triceratops suddenly a starving tyrannosaurus appears causing the tyrannosaurus to break of on it its horns and another horn impales the tyrannosaur in the eye despite losing an eye however the tyrannosaurus lunges again and bites down on the dinosaur s neck killing it it then turns to the ankylosaurus the ankylosaurus swings its tail and strikes the tyrannosaur s right leg but its been weakened by hunger and its blow only angers the predator the tyrannosaurus flips the weak ankylosaurus over and rips out its throat so it bleeds to death but the tyrannosaurus accidentally trips on the ankylosaurus s swishing tail and is impaled on the triceratops horn through its neck as it collapses causing the deadly wound and death the giants are forced to fight even for a death for even one calorie few months has passed since the impact in mexico the first region to be hit by the asteroid an alamosaurus baby emerges from an egg that was sheltered away in the ground all around the world small handfuls try to start over however their species are already considered extinct as they can not replenish their numbers and in the end inbreeding and disease reduced their population to a single dinosaur then he died too and the dynasty with him but life on earth is not completely destroyed fish and crocodiles were sheltered underwater snakes and lizards hid in caves birds could fly above or swim away from disasters insects scorpions and spiders took refuge under rocks or hid deep inside tree trunks one year have passed since the impact mammals like mesodma and purgatorius hid in burrows and now leave their shelters the feed on whatever they can find with the dinosaurs out of the way three years after impact the heavy blanket of dust ash and soot clears away so sunlight can reach the planet again several years after impact ferns and forests carpet the earth again and set the stage for a new era the era of mammals their development have long been stopped by the dinosaurs diversify thousands of years pass and countless species of mammals evolve live and die until finally species explode across the planet and one species humans eventually rule the planet like the dinosaurs once had in the end humans would never have existed if an asteroid had not collided with the prehistoric earth and doomed the dinosaurs to extinction only because they died out can human beings live

snackbar is a highly remarkable example that led to the limits in that period and in portugal the expressionist century and that developed a phenomenological sense of architectural vision that reached a climax deemed even exceptional in the history of architecture in portugal broken line profiles and nonstraight angles key elements of an international lineage organicism rediscovered in the s are brilliantly integrated in this perfect example of total design the process of its classification as a monument of public interest has been ongoing in igespar since after an intervention in that same year that changed significantly some parts of its architecture it retains however part of the elements that motivated in such a proposed classification several of his major works such as the pastelaria mexicana cafe the palissi galvani shop and the hotel florida in lisbon the hotel garbe the hotel da baleeira and the hotel globo in the algarve or the chamber of commerce of bissau in

 atampt corp v excel communications inc fd fed cir was a case in which the united states court of appeals for the federal circuit reversed the decision of the united states district court for the district of delaware which had granted summary judgment to excel communications inc and decided that atampt corp had failed to claim statutory subject matter with us patent no the patent under the united states court of appeals for the federal circuit remanded the case for further proceedings along with state street bank v signature financial group this case was the most referred case on business method patent with a useful concrete and tangible result test by us courts until in re bilski background the two sides atampt corp originally the american telephone amp telegraph is an american telecommunications company that provides voice video data and internet telecommunications and professional services to businesses consumers and inc and its subsidiary atampt communications still provides long distance service across the united states br was founded in by dallas entrepreneur kenny troutt as a long distance reseller in the us telecom sector at the birth of telecom deregulation it started its business by selling franchises through the business model of network marketing or multilevel marketing mlm event history in the patent was filed and in the patent status was granted by the us patent and trademark office uspto in atampt filed a patent infringement suit against excel including some specific method or process claims related to the step of generating a message record for an interexchange call between an originating subscriber and a terminating subscriber and the use of primary interexchange carrier pic indicator in the message record on march the district court of delaware concluded that the invention was not patentable subject matter because the claims implicitly recite a mathematical algorithm the trial court on summary judgment failure to qualify as statutory subject matter on april the us court of appeals federal circuit found that the claimed subject matter was properly within the statutory scope of and reversed the district court s judgment of invalidity on this ground and remanded the case for further proceedings summary of the us patent no the us patent no or the patent entitled message recording for telephone systems described a method to take advantage of adding more data into a message record in order to provide appropriate billing for subscribers based on whether or not the subscriber and call recipient subscribe to the same longdistance carrier this data is called primary interexchange carrier indicator pic in a directdialed long distance call a callrelated data and message record named automatic message account ama was generated it includes further information such as the originating and terminating telephone numbers and the length of time of the call the records with amas are computers and reformatted for processing and billing which later comes to customer in form of hard copy via mails opinion of the federal circuit court in their analysis the federal court first refers to the definition of patentable invention in the language of and found that atampt s business method fell in the process category and the patent claims fell within the judicially created mathematical algorithm exception to statutory subject matter in addition because the system takes data representing discrete dollar amounts through a series of mathematical calculations to determine a final share price a useful concrete and tangible result the court affirmed that the processing system proposed by atampt was patentable subject matter and should be protected process is defined in as a process art or method and includes a new use of a known process machine manufacture composition of matter or any new and useful improvement thereof however the court consider the scope of to be the same regardless of the form machine or process in which method claims containing mathematical algorithms are patentable subject matter only if there is a physical transformation or conversion of subject matter from one state into another in response the court explained that physical transformation can be considered as long as it results in an useful concrete and tangible outcomeapplication the court relied on the supreme court s opinion in diamond v diehr which said when a claim containing a mathematical formula implements or applies that formula in a structure or process which when considered as a whole is performing a function which the patent laws were designed to protect e g transforming or reducing an article to a different state or thing then the claim satisfies the requirements of although the district court of delaware held the patent invalid under the mathematical algorithm exception the federal court referred to several cases including in re alappat and state street bank v signature financial group and reversed the district court s opinion and considered that at the time of the trial court the mathematical algorithm issue impact this case removes the need for mathematical algorithms to be involved in physical elements or process to be eligible as patentable subject matter the case also moves the wellknown freemanwalterabele test to an outdated judicial status and reaffirms that a mathematical algorithm that produces useful concrete and tangible result is a statutory subject matter and patentable however atampt did receive some criticism as a patent troll in press coverage of the case to date before granting a patent status to a claimed invention uspto personnel must examine if the claims in the invention falls within at least one of the four enumerated categories of patentable subject matter recited in ie process machine manufacture or composition of matter evidently after the state street case this case is one of the most referred cases in courts related to business method inventions however it is also still arguable how to define patentable business method inventions and if the useful concrete and tangible result test is sufficient to determine one of the most famous cases that fell into this controversial situation after atampt v excel in this particular case the federal circuit agreed with the united states patent and trademark office on rejecting the patent claims by in re bernard l bilski on a business method and even stated that those portions of our opinions in state street relying solely on a useful concrete and tangible result analysis should no longer be relied on as the result although referring to previous wellknown cases in re bilski still failed to persuade the judges to view his claims patentable with this case the federal court significantly narrowed down the patent eligibility when looking at business method innovation however the supreme court later with majority opinion affirmed that the door to patent eligibility remains open for business methods as well as emerging technologies so long as such inventions do not run afoul of the three wellestablished exceptions to patenteligibility laws of nature physical phenomena and abstract ideas as well as novelty particularly described references see more united states patent and trademark office

 the fermilab holometer in illinois is under construction and is intended to be the world s most sensitive laser interferometer when complete surpassing the sensitivity of the geo and ligo systems and theoretically able to detect holographic fluctuations in spacetime according to the director of the project the holometer should be capable of detecting fluctuations in the light of a single attometer meeting or exceeding the sensitivity required to detect the smallest units in the universe called planck units fermilab states everyone is familiar these days with the blurry and pixelated images or noisy sound transmission associated with poor internet bandwidth the holometer seeks to detect the equivalent blurriness or noise in reality itself associated with the ultimate frequency limit imposed by nature craig hogan a particle astrophysicist at fermilab states about the experiment what were looking for is when the lasers lose step with each other were trying to detect the smallest unit in the universe this is really great fun a sort of oldfashioned physics experiment where you physicist hartmut grote of the max planck institute in germany states that although he is skeptical that the apparatus will successfully detect the holographic fluctuations if the experiment is successful it would be a very strong impact to one of the most open questions in fundamental physics it would be the first proof that spacetime the fabric of the universe is quantized the hypothesis that holographic noise may be observed in this manner has been criticized on the grounds that the theoretical framework used to derive the noise violates lorentzinvariance lorentzinvariance violation is however very strongly constrained already an issue that has been very unsatisfactorily addressed in the mathematical treatment experimental description the holometer will consist of two powerrecycled michelson interferometers similar to the ligo instruments the interferometers will be able to be operated in two spatial configurations termed nested and backtoback according to hogan s hypothesis in the nested configuration the interferometers beamsplitters should appear to wander in step with each other that is the wandering should be correlated wandering of the beamsplitters should be uncorrelated the presence or absence of the correlated wandering effect in each configuration can be determined by crosscorrelating the interferometers outputs

 from its earliest days christianity has been challenged to reconcile the violence of the christian bible with the idea of a loving god raanan s boustan asserts that v iolence can be found throughout the pages of the hebrew bible old testament and the new testament philip jenkins describes the bible as overflowing with texts of terror in response to these charges of violence in their scriptures many christian theologians and apologists respond that the god of the old testament is a violent god whereas the god of the new testament is a peaceful and loving god an exegesis first proposed by marcion of sinope this approach is challenged by those who point out that there are also passages in the new testament that tolerate condone and even encourage the use of violence for example terence freitheim describes the old testament as a book filled with the violence of god he asserts that while the new testament does not have the same reputation it too is filled with violent words and testament are complicit in this violence john hemer asserts that the two primary approaches that christian teaching uses to deal with the problem of violence in the old testament are concentrate more on the many passages where god is depicted as loving much of isaiah hosea micah deuteronomy explain how the idea of god as a violent punishing warmonger is all part of the historical and cultural conditioning of the author and that we can ignore it in good faith especially in the light of the new testament in opposition to these two approaches hemer argues that to ignore or explain away the violence found in the old testament is a mistake he asserts that violence is not peripheral to the bible it is central in many ways it is the issue because of course it is the human problem he concludes by saying that the bible is in fact the story of the slow painstaking and sometimes faltering escape from the idea of a god who is violent to a god who is love and matthews assert that many studies of violence in the bible focus on violence in the old testament while ignoring or giving little attention to the new testament they find even more troubling those studies that lift up the new testament as somehow containing the antidote for old testament violence this apparent contradiction in the sacred scriptures between a god of vengeance and a god of love are the basis of a tension between the irenic and eristic tendencies of christianity that has continued to the present day old testament the principle of an eye for an eye is often referred to using the latin phrase lex talionis the law of like the meaning of the principle eye for an eye is that a person who has injured another person returns the offending action to the originator in compensation at the root of this principle is that one of the purposes of the law is to provide equitable retribution for an offended party christian interpretation of the biblical passage has been heavily influenced by the quotation from leviticus the mount in the expounding of the law part of the sermon on the mount jesus urges his followers to turn the other cheek when confronted by violence you have heard that it was said an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth but i say to you do not resist an evildoer if anyone strikes you on the right cheek turn to him the other also nrsv this saying of jesus is frequently interpreted as criticism of the old testament teaching and often taken as implying that an eye for an eye encourages excessive vengeance rather than an attempt to limit it it was one of the points of fulfilment or destruction of the hebrew law which the church father st augustine already discussed in his contra faustum book xix dr ian guthridge cited many instances of genocide in the old testament thus leading many scholars to characterize the exterminations as genocide niels peter lemche asserts that european colonialism in the th century and extermination the image of a violent god in hebrew scriptures that condoned and even ordered violence posed a problem for some early christians who saw this as a direct contradiction to the god of peace and love attested to in the new testament perhaps the most famous example was marcion who dropped the hebrew scriptures from his version of the bible because he found in them a violent god marcion saw the god of the old testament the demiurge and creator of the material universe as a jealous tribal deity of the jews whose law represented legalistic reciprocal justice and who punishes mankind for its sins by suffering and death marcion wrote that the god of the old testament was an uncultured jealous wild belligerent angry and violent god who has nothing in common with the god of the new testament for marcion the god about whom jesus was an altogether different being a universal god of compassion and love who looks upon humanity with benevolence and mercy marcion argued that christianity should far as to say that jesus mission was to overthrow demiurgethe fickle cruel despotic god of the old testamentand replace him with the supreme god of love whom jesus came to reveal marcion s teaching was repudiated by tertullian in five treatises titled against marcion and marcion was ultimately excommunicated by the church of rome the difficulty posed by the apparent contradiction between the god of the old testament and the god of the new testament continues to perplex pacifist christians to this day eric seibert asserts that f or many christians involvement in warfare and killing in the pages of the old testament is incontrovertible evidence that such activities have god s blessing attitudes like this are terribly troubling to religious pacifists and demonstrate the kind of problems these texts create for them some modernday pacifists such as charles raven have argued that the church should repudiate the old testament as an unchristian book thus echoing the approach taken by marcion in the nd century lex talionis the meaning of the principle eye for person returns the offending action to the originator in compensation the exact latin lex talionis to english translation of this phrase is actually the law of retaliation at the root of this principle is that one of the purposes of the law is to provide equitable retribution for an offended party the phrase an eye for an eye hebrew ayin tachat ayin eye under eye is a quotation from several passages of the hebrew bible and in which a person who has injured the eye of another is instructed to give the value of his or her own eye in compensation it defined and restricted the extent of retribution in the laws of the torah the english word talion means a punishment identical to the offense from the latin talio the principle of an eye for an eye is often referred to using the latin phrase lex talionis the law of talion the expression verses such as and which are sometimes rendered in christian translations by an eye for an eye or similar have the expression ayin tachat ayin meaning each and every eye verbatim eye under eye in the original hebrew the verses where the expression occurs list situations for which fines are imposed to compensate injury and state that each and every injury must be compensated the talmud in bava kamma ba explicitly discusses the nature of this monetary compensation in tort cases and argues against the reinterpretation by sadducees that the bible verses refer to physical retaliation in kind using the argument that such an interpretation would be inapplicable to blind or eyeless offenders since the torah requires that penalties be universally applicable the phrase can not be interpreted in this manner but that applying the same pragmatic revisionism a similar value injury such as losing a hand or foot could be inflicted if the offender did not have any eyes moreover personal retribution is explicitly forbidden for the social magistrate usually in the form of regional courts the oral law explains based upon the biblical verses that the bible mandates a sophisticated fivepart monetary form of compensation consisting of payment for damages pain medical expenses incapacitation and mental anguish which underlies many modern legal codes some rabbinic literature explains moreover that the expression an eye for an eye etc suggests that the perpetrator deserves to lose his own eye but that biblical law treats him leniently paraphrased from the union of orthodox congregations however the torah also discusses a form of direct reciprocal justice where the phrase ayin tachat ayin makes another appearance here the torah discusses false witnesses who conspire to testify against another person the torah requires the court to do to him as he had conspired to do to his brother assuming the fulfillment of certain technical criteria such as the sentencing of the accused whose punishment was punish the conspirators with exactly the same punishment through which they had planned to harm their fellow the court carries out this direct reciprocal justice including when the punishment constitutes the death penalty otherwise the offenders receive lashes makot ibid bab talmud a based on critical exegesis of the torah as it exists today clearly proscribes an eye for an eye whether in the context of revenge or compensation however there seems to be is no such proscription for false witnesses who have colluded in a conspiracy there is one case where the torah states and you shall cut off her hand the sages of the talmud understood the literal meaning of this verse as referring to a case where the woman is attacking a man in potentially lethal manner this verse teaches that although one must intervene to save the victim one may not kill a lethal attacker if it is possible to neutralize that attacker through nonlethal injury sifrei maimonides hil rotzeach ushmirat nefesh regardless there is no verse that even appears to mandate injury to the eye tooth or foot thus it is impossible to read an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth literally in the context of a conspiratorial witness discusses the only form of remotely reciprocal justice not carried out directly by the court where under very limited circumstances someone found guilty of negligent manslaughter may be killed by a relative of the deceased who takes on the role of redeemer of blood in such cases the court requires the guilty party to flee to a designated city of refuge while the guilty party is there the redeemer of blood may not kill him if however the guilty party illegally forgoes his exile the redeemer of blood as an accessory of the court may kill the guilty party nevertheless the provision of the redeemer of blood does not serve as true reciprocal justice because forgoes his exile furthermore intentional killing does not parallel negligent killing and thus can not serve directly as a reciprocal punishment for manslaughter but as a penalty for escaping punishment makot aa according to traditional jewish law application of these laws requires the presence and maintenance of the biblically designated cities of refuge as well as a conviction in an eligible court of judges as delineated by the torah and talmud the latter condition is also applicable for any capital punishment these circumstances have not existed for approximately years christian interpretation of the biblical passage has been heavily influenced by the quotation from leviticus above in jesus of nazareth s sermon on the mount in the expounding of the law part of the sermon on the mount jesus urges his followers to turn the other cheek when confronted by violence you have heard that it was said an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth but i say anyone strikes you on the right cheek turn to him the other also nrsv this saying of jesus is frequently interpreted as criticism of the old testament teaching and often taken as implying that an eye for an eye encourages excessive vengeance rather than an attempt to limit it it was one of the points of fulfilment or destruction of the hebrew law which the church father st augustine already discussed in his contra faustum book xix as noted in previous sections the natural tendency of people is for revenge and in the extreme you hurt me or offended me so i am going to take an arm and a leg or sue you for all you have although both the hammurabi code and hebrew law both had death penalties for many crimes the eye for eye was to restrict compensation to the value of the loss in the hammurabi code as being literal and in the hebrew law applying monetarily thus it might be better read only one eye guthridge cited many instances of genocide in the old testament cquotethe bible also contains the horrific account of what can only be described as a biblical holocaust for in order to keep the chosen people apart from and unaffected by the alien beliefs and practices of indigenous or neighbouring peoples when god commanded his chosen people to conquer the promised land he placed city after city under the ban which meant that every man woman and child was to be slaughtered at the point of the sword thus we read in the book of numbers that the jews waged the campaign against midian as yahweh had ordered moses and they put every male to death the sons of israel took the midianite women captive with their young children and plundered all their cattle all their flocks and all their goods they set fire to the towns where they lived and all their encampments then when they took the captives spoil and booty to moses moses was enraged why have you kill all the male children kill also all the women who have slept with a man spare the lives only of the young girls who have not slept with a man and take them for yourselves similarly in the book of deuteronomy when the jews attacked sihon s amorite kingdom yahweh our god delivered him over to us we captured all his cities and laid whole towns under ban men women and children we spared nothing but the livestock which we took as our spoil likewise in the transjordanian kingdom of og king of bashan we captured all his towns at that time sixty towns we laid them under ban the whole town men women and children under the ban sometimes the ban could vary for in a later chapter of the same book we read that if a town refuses peace and offers resistance yahweh your god shall deliver it unto your power and you are to put all its children the livestock and all that the town contains all its spoil you may take for yourselves as booty in the book of joshua we read about the most famous case of all the fall of jericho then yahweh said to joshua now i am delivering jericho and its king into your hands so when the walls of jericho came tumbling down the jewish warriors enforced the ban on everything in the town men and women young and old even the oxen and sheep and donkeys massacring them all the same for the people of ai bible the same in southern canaan which yahweh gave into the power of israel and israel struck every living creature there with the edge of the sword and left none alive the old testament contains passages in which god commands the israelites to exterminate seven canaanite nations and describes several wars of extermination that annihilated entire cities or groups of peoples examples include the story of amalekites story of the midianites and the battle of jericho the extent of extermination is described in the scriptural passage which orders the israelites to not leave alive anything that breathes completely destroy them thus leading many scholars to characterize the exterminations as genocide niels peter lemche asserts that european colonialism in the nineteenth century was ideologically based on the old testament narratives of conquest and extermination arthur grenke claims that the view or war expressed in deuteronomy contributed to the destruction of native americans and to the destruction of european jewry new testament gedaliahu g stroumsa asserts that irenic and eristic tendencies ie peace and strife coexist in the new testament stroumsa cites the sermon on the mount as an example of an irenic passage in the new testament as examples of eristic scriptures stroumsa cites the following gospel passages do not think that i have come to bring peace to the earth i have but to bring a sword i came to were already kindled do you think that i have come to bring peace to the earth no i tell you but rather division and he said unto them when i sent you without purse and scrip and shoes lacked ye any thing and they said nothing then said he unto them but now he that hath a purse let him take it and likewise his scrip and sell your cloak and buy a sword other sayings and acts of jesus that have been cited as examples of tacit acceptance of violence include the absence of any censure of the soldier who asks jesus to heal his servant his cleansing of the temple and through his apostles baptising a roman centurion who is never asked to first give up arms we addis cites the case of the soldiers instructed by in their duties by st john the baptist and that of the military men whom christ and his apostles loved and familiarly conversed with was unlawful sufficiently prove the point according to steve friesen the apocalyptic book of revelation has been employed in a wide array of settings many of which have been lethal among these friesen lists christian hostility christian imperialism and christian sectarian violence there are also passages attributed to the ministry of jesus used to support christian pacifism such as

 the easterlin hypothesis easterlin states that the positive relationship between income and fertility is dependent on relative income the hypothesis as formulated by richard easterlin presumes that material aspirations are determined by experiences rooted in family background he assumes first that young couples try to achieve a standard of living equal to or better than they had when they grew up this is called relative status if income is high relative to aspirations and jobs are plentiful it will be easier to marry young and have more children and still match that standard of living but when jobs are scarce couples who try to keep that standard of living will wait to get married and have fewer children children are normal goods once this influence of family background is controlled for easterlin the size of the cohort is a critical determinant of how easy it is to get a good job a small cohort means less competition a large cohort means more competition to worry about the assumptions blend economics

all these things behind and she was taken away somewhere her keys phone purse retrieved a receipt for a pizza but found no sign of it or of its packaging both bottles of cider were found in the flat one of them partially consumed as there was no evidence of forced entry or a struggle investigators began to examine the possibility that yeates may have known her abductor on december a fully clothed

vicinity of longwood lane in failand in the period before yeates body was discovered he stated that the investigation was seeking the driver of a lightcoloured x vehicle for questioning jones said that officers had been inundated with thousands of calls and were exhausting every lead and avenue that they were provided with police examined over hours of surveillance footage along with t of rubbish seized from the area around yeates flat crime stoppers offered a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of her murderer while the sun newspaper offered authorities advised people living in the area to secure their homes and warned women not about the murder investigation yeates father said i fear that whoever has done this will never hand themselves in but we live in hope that the police will catch who is responsible postmortem and initial enquiries following the discovery of yeates body detectives from the avon and somerset constabulary issued an appeal for anyone with information about the death to come forward and investigated similarities with other unsolved cases of particular interest to them were those of yearold glenis carruthers who was strangled in melanie hall aged who disappeared in and whose body was discovered thirteen years later and yearold claudia lawrence who went missing in investigators identified striking similarities between the yeates and hall cases notably their age and appearance and that they had disappeared after returning home from meeting friends but the possibility of such connections was later downplayed by authorities the police gathered surveillance video from clifton suspension bridge which forms part of the most direct route from the crime scene to the clifton was of poor quality making it impossible to clearly distinguish individuals or car registration numbers investigators were aware that the perpetrator could have used an alternative bridge across the river avon less than a mile to the south to avoid cctv coverage a postmortem examination began on december though results were delayed due to the frozen condition of the body police initially thought it possible that yeates froze to death

arrested yearold dutch engineer vincent tabak who lived with his girlfriend in the flat next door to yeates however authorities declined to reveal additional details while the suspect was being

an anonymous appeal by yeates parents on crimewatch canynge road was closed by police while scaffolding was constructed around yeates home and officers sealed off tabak s adjacent flat investigators also searched the nearby townhouse of a friend where tabak was believed to have been staying about a mile away tabak had previously been ruled out as a suspect during an earlier stage of the

during the murder investigation police found images of a woman who bore a striking resemblance to yeates in one scene she was shown pulling up a pink top to expose her bra and breasts when yeates was discovered she was wearing a similarly arranged pink top at tabak s trial prosecuting barrister nigel lickley qc argued that the evidence of tabak s activities should be provided to the jury it might shed light on the need to hold a woman for long enough and the need to squeeze hard enough to take her life details of tabak s viewing of pornography were not included in the prosecution s case since the judge believed it did not prove it was disclosed that images of child pornography had been found on tabak s laptop in december the crown prosecution service announced that he would be prosecuted for possessing the material trial the trial of vincent tabak started on october at the crown court at bristol before mr justice field and a jury his counsel in the trial was william clegg qc and the prosecutor was nigel lickley qc tabak pleaded guilty to manslaughter but denied murder the prosecution case was that tabak had strangled yeates at her flat within minutes of her arrival home on

she had suffered separate injuries to her head neck torso and arms during the struggle the injuries included cuts bruises and a fractured nose lickley told the court that the struggle was lengthy and he did not offer an explanation for the reasoning behind tabak s initial attack on yeates evidence was presented that tabak had then tried to conceal the crime by disposing of her body the court heard that dna swabs taken from yeates body had provided a match with tabak samples found behind the knees of her jeans indicated she may have been held by the legs as she was carried while fibres suggested contact with tabak s coat and car blood stains were found on a wall overlooking a quarry close to where yeates was discovered the prosecution also said that tabak attempted to implicate christopher jefferies for the murder during the police investigation and that in the days following yeates death he had made internet searches for topics that included the length of time a body takes to decompose and the dates of refuse collections in the clifton area in his defence tabak claimed that the killing had not been sexually motivated and told the court that he had killed yeates while trying to silence her he claimed that yeates had made a flirty comment and invited him to drink with her he said that after she screamed he held his hands over her mouth and around her neck to silence her he denied suggestions of a struggle claiming to have held yeates by the neck with only minimal force and for about seconds he told the court that after dumping the body he was in a state of panic the jury was sent out to deliberate on october and returned with a verdict two days later on october tabak was found guilty of joanna yeates murder by a to majority verdict he was jailed for life with a minimum term of years passing sentence mr justice field referred to a sexual element to the killing media controversy the manner in which certain aspects of the case were reported by the british media led to one television broadcaster being temporarily banned from attending press conferences and the instigation of legal and the attorney general following a television news report on january that criticised the handling of the investigation itn reporters were banned by the avon and somerset constabulary from attending a press conference convened to give updates on the murder case the item

information we can broadcast while the constabulary filed a complaint with the office of communications calling the broadcast unfair nave and irresponsible reporting the police subsequently lifted the sanctions against itn but said that they would not hesitate to adopt similar tactics in the future legal action was also considered over a tweet revealing that tabak had viewed internet pornography

appeared in newspapers concerning yeates landlord christopher jefferies following his arrest describing the coverage as character assassination on a large scale he cited several examples of headlines and stories that had been published including a headline in the sun describing jefferies a former teacher at clifton college as weird posh lewd and creepy a story from the daily express quoting unnamed former pupils referring to him as a sort of nutty professor who made them feel creeped out by his strange behaviour and an article from the daily telegraph which reported jefferies has been described by pupils at clifton college as a fan of dark and violent avantgarde films jefferies launched legal action against six newspapers on april the sun the daily mirror daily express the daily mail and the daily record seeking damages for libel he was represented by louis charalambous of the law firm simons muirhead and burton who in had successfully acted for robert murat after he became a

mirror the sunday mirror the daily record the daily mail the daily express the daily star and the scotsman in connection with their coverage of his arrest in an interview following tabak s conviction jefferies commented it has taken up a whole year virtually of my life that period of time has meant that everything else that i would normally be doing has been change the law on legal aid which he said would prevent people with limited means from taking action against newspapers dominic grieve the attorney general for england and wales stated on december that he was considering action under the contempt of court act to enforce the obligation of the media not to prejudice a possible future trial criminology professor david wilson commented on the resonance of the murder case with the national news media the british public loves a whodunnit it s a particularly british thing we were the first nation to use murder stories to sell newspapers and that culture is more ingrained here than elsewhere wilson called yeates a white female professional an ideal victim for the media on january yeates boyfriend greg reardon commented on the media coverage surrounding the arrest of christopher jefferies jo s life was cut short tragically but the fingerpointing and character assassination by social and news media of as yet innocent men has been shameful on may the administrative court

newspapers had been in contempt of court and fined the daily mirror and the sun the lord chief justice of england and wales lord judge stated that in our judgment as a matter of principle the vilification of a suspect under arrest is a potential impediment to the course of justice the publishers of the sun and the daily mirror subsequently appealed their fines but the mirror case was rejected by the supreme court of england and wales on march whilst the sun withdrew its appeal ramifications the yeates case was mentioned during a parliamentary debate on a private on any journalist

in a debate on february soubry told the house what we saw in bristol was in effect a feeding frenzy and vilification much of the coverage was not only completely irrelevant but there was a homophobic tone to it which i found deeply offensive the slurs on the man were out of order however she withdrew the proposal after encountering opposition from the conservativeled coalition government jefferies gave evidence to the leveson inquiry established by prime minister david cameron to investigate the ethics and behaviour of the british media following the news of the world phone hacking affair jefferies told the inquiry that reporters had besieged him after he was questioned by the police he said it was clear that the tabloid press had decided that i was guilty of miss of my guilt they

 this article have only deadlink references perhaps you are searching for jsonjsonschema jsonwsp javascript object notation webservice protocol is a webservice protocol that uses json for service description requests and responses it is very much inspired from jsonrpc but the lack of a service description specification with documentation in jsonrpc sparked the design of jsonwsp the description format has the same purpose for jsonwsp as wsdl has for soap or idl for corba which is to describe the types and methods used in a given service it also describes intertype relations ie nested types and defines which types are expected as method arguments and which types the user can expect to receive as method return values finally the description opens the possibility to add documentation on service method parameter and return levels communication between clients and a jsonwsp server is carried out using http post requests and responses with the json objects as data with the contenttype applicationjson specifications jsonwsp consists of four json object specifications note notation building blocks if the name of the buildingblock being defined starts with rx it means that the definition is a regular expression in these definitions square brackets have the role of defining character classes and parentheses have the role of defining capturing groups in all other cases square

where we can have a song during the time they were in costa rica they recorded thirteen to fourteen songs for the album the song take her from you was composed while in costa rica recording the album the song was originally written by one of the cataracs for himself and while reading some of the lyrics dev expressed her interest in recording the song concept and themes to escape the comparisons to other artists in the electropop genre including american recording artist kesha and singersongwriter uffie she noted that the comparisons helped motivate her to take the music to a new level and sing on the majority of the album she further explains that the material on the album has more diversity bringing together different sounds and conveying more depth in the songwriting she described that the songs are influenced by hip hop and electro music the album according to dev will bring together my dev intricate influences and the cataracs simple influences while on interview with kiss she commented that the music on the set will contain music stylized toward club and dance music and hiphop influenced tracks where she will rap the entire song composition the night the sun came up is primary an electropop and dance album which incorporates elements of several different genres such as dubstep hip hop eurodance urban rock and club influencedpop music dev said that her mission with elements of music to make an eclectic set she also said that the album has two sides to it sassy and pretty the sassy songs are based on the themes of sex partying and different forms of debauchery while the pretty songs are contemplative ballads that are based more on introspection and love much of the album s lyrics are influenced by her life and her experiences the album opens with getaway a hip hop track with influences of soul music the song starts out with the use of a piano transitions into hiphop styled music and features a breakdown in which she raps and rhymes the next song in my trunk runs through an electronic tinged hip hop beat and features vehicle metaphors in its lyrics the third track of the album me contains influences of adult contemporary music the fourth song breathe is an electronic dance song that contains influences of middle eastern and club music it is written about sex and the effects of love on dev and features the use of an her from you differs completely from the electronic soundscape of the album as it is inspired by rock and roll music when dev heard the song she responded oh i really like that it could almost be a flip of me singing about myself we considered maybe we should change around the perspective but i was like no let s keep it like that the sixth track lightspeed is an electronic pop song that in its production draws inspiration from house and club music it makes use of kickdrums synth arrangements autotune and numerous noises like a cough its synth riff and beat structure resembles those in the music made by dutch disc jockey afrojack the seventh track dancing shoes is built upon synthesizers and drums while making use of pianos and guitars to produce an uptempo electronic rock ballad about performing onstage the song s pretty sound is inspired by teen pop music after dancing shoes is the eighth track perfect match a that featured in clocks by british alternative rock group coldplay in bass down low the ninth song and first single dev speaks of taking shots and various forms of debauchery it is an electro song with skittering synths and a pulsating electropop groove in which dev utilizes her singtalk vocal style throughout the song but also uses her singing voice near the end the night the sun came up s tenth track kiss my lips the third single from the album in the united states contains a guitar that blends synthesizers prominent in dance music with a hip hop styled drum beat in the song she sings to a lover get you hand off my hipand kiss my lips kiss my lips kiss me all over are you gon na take that risk take that risk cause only getting older in the dark has a house rhythm and a prominent saxophone riff that serves as the song s instrumentation while featuring eurodance beats and synths mixed with influences of latin music draws from influences of folk music reception critical reception the album received generally favorable reviews from contemporary music critics with an aggregated score metascore of of in metacritic based on reviews chuck eddy from rolling stone gave to the album out of stars writing that the album is as stark as it is sweet owed partly to the casually giddy lightness of her talksinging ben norman from aboutcom gave to the album three stars out of five summarizing that dev s debut album is at least little more than pandering to the mainstream there are some interesting tracks that give us flashes of insight into the minds creating the works whether the credit goes to dev or to her producers is uncertain but almost irrelevant as long as you enjoy it that being said the night the sun came up is wellcrafted quality dancepop if dev achieves another hit from it i ll be shocked jamie horne of the border mail gave the album noting the ranges of music influences including dance rock and folk and noted that it was not boring chanun poomsawai of bangkok post reviewed the album positively praising its diversity and mixture of fierce and mellow and further commented that this is a solid electroedged pop album best played while you re getting dressed up before heading out for a night on the town elysa gardner from usa today wrote that on the album her fresh lissome vocals are actually more intriguing than the textural tonal and rhythmic shifts that pop up in the sometimes sweetly groovy but mostly unremarkable tunes music rating website musicovered gave the album three out of ten stars stating the album comes short of expectations and that the production was sloppy with many of the album s tracks sounding the same sal cinquemani shares the same feeling on his review of the album for slant magazine rating the album two and a half stars out of five he adds that the album fails rapping style comparing it to that of swedish recording artist robyn and the song in the dark for blending european dance music with flourishes of latin and mediterranean music neil miller jr of ur chicago rated the album two out of five stars on the site they use meatballs calling it one of the most unbalanced pop records ever released idolator however claims that to peg dev as a kesha clone is dangerous as she has a greater air of mystery than kesha and the positive review ends with for those out there who like the soundtrack to their latenight fiesta to come with a bit more subtlety commercial performance in the united states the night the sun came up debuted on the billboard chart on the week of april at number sixty one with copies sold singles the debut single off the album is bass down low which was produced by

 birthplace vitebsk belarus lev samuilovich klejn born better known as leo klejn is a russian archaeologist anthropologist and philologist early life klejn was born on july in vitebsk belarus to two jewish physicians polishborn stanislav semenovich originally samuil simkhovich and asya moysseevna both of klejn s grandparents were wealthy one a factory owner the other a highly ranked merchant stanislav semenovich served as a medical officer in the antibolshevik volunteer army during the russian civil war by the end of the war he had joined the red army but was never a member of the communist party in both of klejn s parents were drafted to serve in the great patriotic war while the rest of the family were evacuated first to volokolamsk and then egoryevsk near moscow and then to yoshkarola in the mari assr there klejn worked on a collective farm before leaving school at the age of and being attached to the rd belorussian front in grodno and klejn studied for a year at a railway technical school while still in high school klejn created an underground liberal organisation called prometheus this drew the attention of the kgb but owing to the age of those involved there were no serious consequences career upon graduating high school klejn entered the grodno pedagogical institute in the faculty of language and history in after a year there he spoke against the first secretary of grodno s party committee at a conference and was forced to leave he transferred to leningrad state university first as a corresponding student and then fulltime at leningrad he studied both archaeology under mikhail artamonov and russian philology under vladimir propp while there he continued to act contrary to party dogma by reading a paper criticising the work of nicholas marr klejn escaped expulsion for this however as shortly thereafter marr s theories were denounced by stalin himself graduating with honours from the faculty of history in klejn worked as a librarian leningrad for postgraduate studies in archaeology he began working in the department of archaeology in and became an assistant professor there in this was unusual as klejn was a jew and not a member of the party but he was appointed to the position by a special session of the faculty s party bureau on the strength of his academic qualifications he was awarded a candidate of sciences degree equivalent to a phd in defending a thesis on the origins of the donets catacomb culture in he was made docent associate professor klejn s first printed work was published in his first monograph in he participated in a series of archaeological fieldwork expeditions in russia belarus and ukraine the last seasons as head of the expedition these included excavations of early rus towns and bronze age and scythosarmatian barrows persecution klejn continued to chafe against the partybacked academic establishment as a teacher in the s he organised a series of seminars on the where he contradicted the antinormanist position then in the seventies he began working on theoretical problems in history and archaeologya subject that had been completely neglected since stalin s purges of academia in the sand found himself contradicting the orthodox marxist theory of historical materialism his frequent publication in foreign journals also caused alarm in the early s klejn s brother boris then teaching in a grodno institute was dismissed and stripped of his degree and title for speaking against the introduction of soviet troops into czechoslovakia his friendship with the disgraced belarusian writer vasil bykov also played a part in this then in klejn himself was arrested for homosexuality on the orders of the kgb during a search pornography was planted on him but too crudely and the court could not accept the evidence nevertheless klejn was convicted and imprisoned the scholarly community however interpreted this as an attempt to get rid of a troublemaker rather than a genuine accusation and came to his defence klejn neither affirmed nor denied the charge an individual s sexual orientation is not the concern of society or the state but in his account he relates a parallel investigation conducted by his fellow inmates to determine his treatment which concluded he was not a homosexual eventually the initial sentence was overturned by a higher court and commuted to eighteen months detention which by this time klejn had almost served after his release klejn like his brother was stripped of his degree and title he recorded his prison experiences under the pen name lev samoylov in the journal neva and in his own name in the book the world turned upside down later career klejn remained without an academic position for ten years following his release following perestroika he began publishing again and in defended a new thesis and was awarded a doctor of sciences degree by unanimous vote he cofounded the european university at st petersburg and taught there until his retirement in at the age of a number of institutions including the universities of west berlin vienna durham copenhagen lubljana turku tromse washington in seattle and the higher anthropological school of moldova in he stopped teaching following treatment for cancer but continues to research and publish he is currently a columnist in the troitsky variant work a whole series of klejns books and articles on this subject are terminated by his metaarchaeology of in russian introduction to theoretical archaeology of theoretical archaeology klejn has been a one of the world s leading writers on theoretical archaeology a term he coined since the s according to klejn archaeological theories are programs of information processing based on a particular explanatory idea additionally theories become methodology by stipulating a set of standard techniques klejn s elaboration of a special theory for archaeology went against the soviet view that historical materialism was the only theoretical basis of the humanities it also was in conflict with the traditional embracing all other humanistic and social scientific disciplines studying the past according to klejn archaeology is not a subfield of history nor history armed with a spade as an influential school of russian archaeology maintained but a sourcestudying discipline similar to forensic science in its methodology it processes archaeological sources and translates them into the language of history and finally transfers them to the historian for their incorporation into a historical synthesis archaeology s typical questions are what when where whence and how whereas the historian s question is why or from what cause klejn places particular emphasis upon rigorous methods of interpretation in order to guard against the manipulation of antiquities in the service of political aims his echeloned archaeology outlined three research procedures empirical deductive and problemsetting each with a clear succession of stages of investigation adjusted to different aims of research his work on classification and typology in archaeology attempted to outline a strategy for producing classifications that are both useful and objectively valid this russian archaeology stressed that some initial knowledge about the material to be classified as a whole is necessary to construct a reliable system of classification and therefore that the process must work backwards relative to the received procedure from cultures to attributes from a study of the principles underlying the interpretation of archaeological material klejn came to a dialectical inference that they are grouped in two rows with every principle in each row directly facing its opposite in the other row both rows are active in archaeology and both are valid one either has to choose one of them or to find balance between two this discovery has implications for the project of working out the artificial intelligence of an archaeologist this position is detailed in the principles of archaeology klejns interest in ethnogenesis forced him to deal with the problem of how to synthesise different kinds of sources and with the place of archaeological sources in this synthesis in klejns opinion ethnos is a category of in social psychology this implies idea of ethnos and any real attributes the community of language race religion culture and so on are attached in various combinations to this notion practically the problems of ethnogenesis are reduced to discovering the origins and history of language communities so the question of peoples origins is first of all a linguistic problem however there is no inevitable coincidence of language with archaeological culture and even less is there a coincidence of the lines of succession of language and culture usually archaeological culture has many roots and there is no inevitability that the language will be transmitted together with the most intensive cultural contribution this is why lingual continuity does not correspond with cultural cultural genesis is not ethnogenesis in tracing lines of lingual continuity from a synthesis of different sources the lingual sources must be given priority archaeological sources can only check and support in these investigations klejn criticised the idea of omnipresent local origins an idea that was inherited from marrs teaching and was established by ideological considerations as allegedly more freedom in the reconstruction of migrations than the previous overcautious criteria in his struggle against illusions of local origins he introduced the concept of sequentions sequences of cultures with a distinction between column and track sequentions the latter are unconfined to a single territory archaeological material is given us in column sequentions and has to be transferred to track sequentions historiography having exposed and evaluated various trends and having checked the general theories of archaeology with regard to their realisation for klejn the history of archaeological discipline naturally became a branch of theoretical archaeology he had much to do with this branch his a panorama of theoretical archaeology caused a discussion in the world literature bruce trigger greeted the emergence of such work from the soviet side with the words no longer from another planet klejn was the first who acquainted russian archaeology with new trends in the world archaeology his book the new archaeology was published thirty year after it was written but was previously read in manuscript appeared as the first history of world archaeology in russia no such book had previously existed in russia the twovolume history of russian archaeology personified provides for the first time a new approach to the history of a discipline presenting separately the history of events the history of ideas and the history of persons biographies his book the phenomenon of soviet archaeology gives the first full and frank analysis of soviet archaeology and covers the period up to just after the end of the soviet era it had begun to be written before this time the book has been translated into spanish german and english klejns particular archaeological studies in regard to particular archaeological studies klejn has mainly studied the catacomb culture of the bronze age iii mill bc in the ukraine and on the volgadon steppes he excavated barrows on the steppes of the ukraine and in southern russia and the subject of his candidate dissertation was catacomb burials at first he completely denied the jutland via the danube plain later in he argued that this is not a single culture but several cultures this is now accepted by all finally on the basis of comparison with cultures of india and the rigveda he came to the inference that these were ancestors of indoaryans he therefore conceded that the local population of the pitgrave culture played a role in the formation of catacomb cultures the pitgrave culture had long ago been connected to that of the aryans indoiranian i e indoaryans and iranians such an early separation of indoaryans from iranians leads to a revision of the time when the split of indoeuropean community occurred this must also have happened earlier than had previously been thought ethnogenesis from the very beginning klejn had a keen interest in problems of ethnogenesis his first printed work was devoted to the origin of slavs later klejn delved deeply into problems of the origins of indoeuropeans especially their southeastern branch aryans greeks armenians phrygians in the past grecoaryans including ancestors of aruans greeks arnebians and phrygians his books ancient migrations and the time of centaurs the steppe urheimat of the aryans and greeks were devoted to these problems the norman problem it is said that as an historian and archaeologist l s klejn contributed to resurrection of the socalled normanist theory assigning to the vikings a significant role in the establishment of the ancient russian state and seeing the ryurikovichs the first russian dynasty as having scandinavian origins yet this is an oversimplification klejn played a part in the controversy of antinormanism versus alleged normanism and was even the main disputant in the third public dispute on this question each dispute being separated from the last by the space of a century in the first miller argued fiercely against lomonosov in the second pogodin against kostomarov in the third klejn against shaskolsky in the soviet time the acceptance of the participation of normans in the building of russian state was held to be antipatriotic dangerous and scope of normanism in order that this concept this accusation could not be put on him and other objective investigators over the years klejn began to advance more frankly in his opinion there is in fact no norman theory normanism does not exist and never did as an academic doctrine by contrast antinormanism does exist but only as an ideological platform based on a russian inferiority complex it is very characteristic that although normans captured large parts of britain and france and conducted raids into germany spain and byzantium antinormanism exists only in russia neither the french nor british deny these facts the struggle of antinormanism against normanism is not a criticism of some theory but simply an argument about the facts there are now many eminent russian scholars who take the same position a n kirpichnikov e a melnikova e n nosov v ya petrukhin a o klejns contribution is that in his work the varangian controversy he exposes in detail the arguments of it is significant that he has structured the discussion by placing the arguments on the steps of a ladder leading to the most odious positions so now the chaotic multiplicity of facts and ideas relating to the subject has received a structure and an order it has become easier to evaluate the meaning of every reason when one has in mind its place in the whole discussion klejn is also responsible for certain other original archaeological studies and hypotheses the identification of the socalled zoomorphic sceptres of eneolithic the study of dice in steppe barrows the detailed study of karbuna hoard of early tripolyean culture the identification of prehittites with baden culture the reconstruction of phrygian migration to india a thousand years before alexander the great etc philological works klejns homeric studies are remarkable in russian philology the books anatomy of iliad incorporeal heroes and other works they are nearly unknown to the west since they have not yet been translated klejns studies of homer in the s issued from his study of the a course of lectures on the bronze age of europe at leningrad university he paid heed to the fact that the city excavated in hissarlyk turkey is radically different from troy as described in the iliad aside from the inconsistencies between text and reality it might be wondered why the main heroes and other phenomena have double names in the epic troy is ilios the river scamandre is also xanthos the trojan prince is called sometimes paris sometimes alexander the main heroes of greeks achilles and diomedes perceive the same deeds and even are wounded in the same spot in the ankle and in the poem they do nt meet each other when one emerges the other disappears klejn reached the conclusion that germans of the th and early th centuries h dntzer th bergk a fick p kauer e bethe a o were right the epic was put together from different songs having their own and parallel heroes by means of by distribution of epithets as well as by the distribution of words in the original greek of course in this manner it appeared possible to discern in the text independent sources united in the epic as scattered parts interspersed with each other further studies showed that the main heroes of iliad achilles ajax nestor and others were not historical personalities as they are presented in the epic but rather halfmythical cult heroes almost akin to christian saints each responsible for a special sphere of life achilles was a warden of ships nestor a healer odysseus a magician and fortuneteller and so on and in the poem however they are addressed they are essentially occupied with their initial business klejn in common with some scholars before him came to the inference that there was no historical trojan war and no capture of troy by greeks we possess not the slightest of archaeological proofs for these things while on the contrary there are plenty of refutations in general epic is are transformed into just the reverse defeats turn out to be victories the city excavated by schliemann is not troy at all although it is ilios in the hittite written sources two different towns are mentioned in the west of asia minor truya this is troy and wilusa this is greek w ilios in klejns books there are many maps comparative tables and statistical charts the most eminent russian historian of the ancient world igor m dyakonov declared in print that klejns inferences are impossible to disprove and that possibly from these books a new epoch in homeric studies begins klejns anthropologic studies klejn himself holds that his communication theory of cultural evolution is his most interesting contribution to anthropology although he could not succeed in working out this theory in detail it is presented only in some minor articles many modern students imagine culture as a certain amount of information but if so then the transmission of culture from one generation to the next can be presented as a alone in that case the flow of information will be exposed to the impact of the same factors as influence any chain of communication radio telephone etc in order that the information get through we need repetition a quantity of channels with a good transmission capacity etc it remains to be worked out what cultural phenomena promoting or hindering the transmission of information correspond to these physical factors for instance channels of communication might include family school court club etc the repetition of the cultural information might be daily washing yourself table customs etc or weekly division on weekdays and holydays etc it may be possible to include mathematical formulas of cultural evolution within this theory and it may be possible to use this theory in the present day for the so to say indirect direction of culture there are explanatory uses for this theory in archaeology for instance with respect to the explanation of migration if warriors they simply could not learn from their homeland those forms of culture that were only seldom repeated for example burial customs in such a case although a migration might have occurred we would not necessarily expect to find the wholesale transference of all forms of culture in a number of works klejn discusses the idea of the contradiction between modern culture and the nature of man this treatment is far from the rousseaus mood and is built on the basis of sociobiology developing the ideas of lorenz and desmond morris klejns idea is built upon the fact that in every stage of mans biological evolution man has been formed by adaptation to conditions not only of the natural environment but also of the sociocultural milieu however tempos of sociocultural evolution are much faster than those of biological evolution sociocultural evolution has no need to wait for generations to change while biological evolution has not terminated even a single stage of homo sapiens sociocultural evolution has gone through the upper palaeolithic mesolithic eneolithic neolithic bronze and has now entered the atomic and computer age yet our psychophysiological characteristics remain the same as in the stone age they were and are adapted to those conditions this accords with freuds observation we are discontent with modern culture because we are not by our nature adapted to it hence there are a number of specific deceases and psychic problems that are developing into social ones yet in culture a number of compensatory mechanisms exist to diminish this tension however when in some milieus there is a lack of culture from mans inside there bursts a savage and thus society when left to selforganization as in lord of the flies restores mutatis mutandis primordial forms of life this can be seen in the example of hard labour camps bullying by age among army troops etc this idea is worked out by klejn in the book the world turned upside down in journal form and in the book form several editions and translations the religion is another theme of klejns anthropological studies having found traces of peruns cult in vaynakh chechen and ingush folklore klejn first looked for historical remnants of an ancient intrusion of slavic paganism into the caucasus he connected the traces of peruns cult not only with those sparse relics of this cult that were kept in russian culture but also with the wide circle of ethnographic phenomena of that culture peruns cult appeared to be connected with images of rusalka yarilo kostroma and others klejn interpreted perun himself to be a dying and resurrecting god many such gods are found in the mythologies of various countries many other problems were also solved so maslenitsa appeared to be according to klejn not an ancient festival but pagan solstice rites that were moved aside to make way for christian fasts klejn considers veles to be a late deity imitating the christian st vlasius these positions are mainly expounded in the book resurrection of perun an approach to the reconstruction of eastslavic pagan religion was published in having also a musical education piano in his student years klejn was the leader of a popular music group in his teaching years he was responsible for amateur musical performances at the university in the s he wrote a book on music where he established connections between rock and classical music but the manuscript having slipped into samizdat had to be brought before the kgb and was not published at that time it has not become obsolete klejns reflections on music are of an anthropological character he considers various systems of harmony and establishes their correspondence to the social psychology of different epochs many systems of classical music influence and have their equivalents in popular music the book is not written exclusively for professional musicians it is in accessible language after klejn was accused of homosexual relations he became interested in the question of homosexuality in general and began to study it approaching it as an anthropologist he classifies the question as falling under the to the conclusion that homosexuality is not in any way contagious and is not inherited through the male line that in different societies and in different epochs its distribution is approximately equal only the degree of reticence varies klejn consistently advocates its decriminalisation and demedicalisation but at the same time as distinct of other liberal figures he a considers homosexuality in its biological respect a pathology while in cultural respects norms of behaviour are conventional and culturally dependent b he does not consider gaypride actions mistakenly called in russia gayparades to be reasonable and appropriate actions in defence of the civil rights of gays are another issue c he is sharply critical of the homosexual subculture his book the other love considers various theories and views on homosexuality from ancient times to the present theories about the origins of homosexuality and the evolution of homosexuality in various societies and in various historical periods the book another side of the luminary considers the unusual love of outstanding personalities specifically wellknown russian figures from ivan the terrible to rudolf nureev still in manuscript there is a third book devoted to nonrussian figures from socrates and plato to leonardo and president lincoln the aim of the book is not to justify homosexuality by referencing famous homosexuals but rather to consider how outstanding personalities coped with this difficult psychological problem not all of them are regarded as positive figures among klejns entire works this topic occupies a relatively small space but it is reasonable to provide brief expositions of these books because on the internet these books have been frequently reproduced but in a misleading way usually without the inclusion of critical chapters and so give a false impression klejns influence one may sometimes meet the expression klejns school however klejn himself withholds judgement as to whether such a school exists is a matter of convention it is dependent upon what is taken as a school yet his impact on archaeology and not only archaeology is undoubted and is underlined by the calling of a discussion in england this will be devoted to klejns contribution to russian european and world archaeology a number of known scholars had the experience of klejns seminar v s bochkarev v a safronov m b shchukin g s lebedev v a bulkin b a raev yuyu piotrovsky i v dubov e n nosov yu m lesman l b vishnyatsky e m kolpakov o a shcheglova a d rezepkin v ya stegantseva v a dergachev a a kovalev a m smirnov s zh pustovalov and many others v a lynsha and other students who came to leningrad from other universities in order to supplement their training also established themselves as klejns pupils those who studied under klejns guidance or experienced his influence were not only archaeologists there were among others also the philosopherlogician b i fedorov the anthropologist a g kozintsev the linguist n n kazansky the orientalist m a rodionov the art historian v ideas affected the whole of leningradpetersburg archaeology as well as many archaeologists in northwest russia siberia ukraine and moldavia archaeologists in moscow were also affected by klejns work to the extent that it was through him that ideas from outside of russia became known as concerns relations with western archaeology in the most difficult years for international cooperation it was klejn who showed to world archaeologists that soviet archaeology was nevertheless no longer from another planet triggers expression he supported the virtues of russian archaeology in that he demonstrated that it contained erudition the urge toward objectivity and creative potentials political views l s klejn is a convinced adherent of liberal values and an adversary of xenophobia and nationalism he is a wholehearted supporter of civil rights but his democratic ideal is qualified he does not idealise egalitarianism and anarchy his humanitarianism is also qualified in his view charity should not stimulate parasitism and so do harm to society he is unsatisfied with the oversimplified polar contraposition between patriotism and rusophobia to him such sort of patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel proper patriotism is love of ones own country and people and does not exclude esteem for other peoples it is based on love and not hate a sincere love is conjugated with the desire for ones people and country to reach towards perfection and to correct the faults and therefore to reveal them and so criticism of a beloved people and country is not rusophobia but a proper patriotism whereas the desire to hide defects reveals indifference to the people and the country characteristic of populism and a slavish longing to serve those

show i m really excited i m probably going to be extra nervous the day before we ve been working hard for like two months now and everything s coming together really good the show can be kind of grueling especially when you re onstage and you re on your eighth number you get really winded and you re like how can i do the rest of the show but i ve been training for a while and i actually before i come to rehearsals i ve been working out and stuff like after minaj was announced as the opening act in april she said on ryan seacrest s radio show she was looking forward to creating a new

that gives you the adrenaline you need to get through the show it just pumps you up she also talked about the performance of till the world ends saying that at the end of the show the last song minaj comes on every once not every show but it s usually special when she does it in an interview with glamour in october spears said i seriously think it s the best tour i ve done so far right now im really excited about the show this is the funnest show i ve done in my career concert lifted from the stage the show begins with a video introduction in which spears is arrested by the police after a

original version spears starts flying in a platform with giant angel wings the show ends with spears and her dancers thanking the audience as confetti falls and the femme fatale sign is lowered onstage critical response barry walters from rolling stone called the show possibly her flashiest fastest moving and most entertaining production yet and added that the night belonged to spears as she managed to prove that she s still progressing as a showgirl not only that she s doing it better than even diehard defenders wouldve predicted at the pop star whose career has shown that she s back hopefully this time to stay evelyn mcdonnell of spin said that the idol america loves to hate went all out her body perpetually moved she sang steadfastly into her headset okay she s got plenty of digital support but she does nt merely lipsync and she shimmied through an endless parade of outfits having been knocked down by the tabloid press and the public repeatedly in recent years spears is now desperately seeking our attention and she earns it haters go home kelley l carter of mtv commented that the spears that captivated the audience at the staples center was the old funloving freewheeling spears with a sexy showgirl twist there was nt much pretense though those glamazon outfits blinded in the best way possible instead there was just good dance music carla meyer of the sacramento bee stated that though spears performed like a pro throughout the show hitting all her marks the first stop on a tour but that hesitancy vanished when she put on the denim she seemed at ease shaunna murphy of entertainment weekly criticized britney s complete lack of verbal audience interaction and her obviously diminished dancing ability but also added that with her slim waist her dangerously toned legs and most importantly her engaged wideeyed smile spears looked happy to be there with usthe crucial element that has been missing from so many britney shows of late august brown of the los angeles times stated that the femme fatale tour gets its drama by largely erasing or at least tweaking the past spears manipulates pops virginwhore complex better than just about anyone and her seamless sweep from lasciviously grinding on an awestruck dude from the audience to the earnest balladry of do nt let me be the last to know felt true to the sweep of her career she learned that she can control the narrative by vanishing into a club s heat or into commented though visually impressive the show lacked a truly engaging human quality spears moved with an almost mechanical detachment lightly shifting through dance routines without fully letting her body release itself with her voice heavily processed and laden with backing tracks she appeared onstage as some strange blend of michael jackson madonna and kraftwerk s ralf and florian however jam canoe considered the show best described as janet jacksonlike steve palopoli of metro silicon valley said musically the show is heavy on the hits although considering britney as a musical phenomenon is like asking which of madonna s albums is best she s a cultural phenomenon obviously and the only edicts that seem to have been handed down in regards to the music is no lipsynching she definitely does nt and bigger and louder whenever possible shirley halperin of the hollywood reporter stated it was entertaining but spears does nt quite have a constant barrage of visual distractions while she mostly lipsynchs along to her hits jim harrington of the oakland tribune deemed the show as a mess pretty much from start to finish the theatrics are awkward and confusing the dance routines are numbingly bland and oldhat the song selection is weak and misguided and britney s star power so blinding on tours past is remarkably dim alexis petridis of the guardian gave the show two stars out of five saying that there s a suspicion that the kind of person who goes to see britney spears live is nt really there for the music or her sparkling personality tonight she seems as deadeyed and distant as ever what they re interested in is proximity to a global celebrity neil mccormick of the daily telegraph gave the show one star out of five and called it the saddest laziest dullest and most tawdry pop concert i have ever witnessed he added that the most of people having forked out around a head for tickets practically raised the roof cheering every dismal dance move roaring for lipsynched vocals and lustily applauding limp erotica commercial reception live nation announced in early may a partnership with dealoftheday website groupon a spokesperson explained offering a deal on groupon is not a reflection of the quality or status or sales of a show but rather segmented marketing and a way to reach new and additional consumers a staff editor for vh noted that as of june tickets were sold at discounted prices through groupon for fifteen of the first twentyfour dates of the tour including at opening night in sacramento the groupon deals for shows in seattle winnipeg saint paul and atlanta actually expired before all available discounted tickets were sold the editor also stated that the shows look to be underattended in smaller cities even as in metropolitan areas like greater new york city new shows have been added it remains better price optimization or whether the tours ambition was more outsized than its actual draw the femme fatale tour was ranked at number fiftyfive by pollstar on the top north american tours list grossing million in the first ten shows on july the shows in atlanta and nashville ranked spears at number ten on billboard s hot tours list with a combined gross of on september the tour was ranked at number six on the top concert tours list from pollstar

fans attended the shows worldwide with an average attendance of paying an average of broadcast and recordings in july a highquality recording of the las vegas show was uploaded to youtube on july the recording industry association of america riaa marc mcdevitt requested a subpoena at a federal court to obtain personal details from youtube of the user who uploaded the video including the ip address email address and any other relevant information to identify the person although it is common for major music labels to send takedown requests to youtube it is thought to be the first time the riaa filed legal action against the video hosting site in order to obtain the personal details of an uploader the case was closed after a week according to a copyright lawyer it is most likely that the subpoena was granted by the court and that youtube agreed to hand over the personal details that were requested the video was removed from youtube but copies of the full concert can still be found on

 am est is the th episode of the third season of the american science fiction drama television series fringe and the rd episode overall the narrative follows the activation of the doomsday device by the parallel universe and the subsequently devastating consequences experienced by our world david wilcox josh singer and graham roland cowrote the episode while jeannot szwarc directed it guest star kevin corrigan returned as the mysterious sam weiss actor john noble and executive producer jeff pinkner have referred to am est as the start of an epic trilogy as it and the following two episodes would be linked in one continuous story arc the episode received generally positive reviews many critics noted its purpose was meant to set the stage for the season finale plot in the parallel universe walternate has been able to use the blood sample from fauxlivia s child to create a serum made up of half of peter bishop s dna he uses this serum to activate his this results in a series of unusual events including the formation of a vortex that wipes out a long swath of land in rural new york state including a herd of sheep and two of their shepherds the fringe division learns that their version of the machine activated at am on its own and walter suspects the two machines are tied by quantum entanglement with their version of the machine destroying their world to stabilize the parallel one unknown to the prime universe walternate s experiment has not affected the stability of their world in the prime universe nina sharp helps to set up massive dynamic s resources to track these occurrences preparing to deploy limited supplies of the amber substance to contain them if needed nina advises olivia to find sam weiss a man that william bell had trusted and instructed nina to also listen to however sam has disappeared and can not be found walter and peter along with massive dynamic staff debate how to disable the machine but walter comes to recognize that the observer s efforts from earlier the firefly were to prepare him to lose peter after preparing himself peter goes to touch the machine but is sent flying by an electrical spark wounding him and knocking him unconscious at the hospital chapel walter tries to find repentance from god for his actions while olivia arrives after hearing the news she steps outside to observe the sunset when sam weiss runs up to her and demands to be taken to the machine to stop what is already happening in the parallel universe walternate s machine has been detected by the fringe division and fauxlivia and her team goes to investigate when walternate tells them to stand down fauxilivia asks him about her recent mission to the prime universe and the part that she recovered walternate admits to her that the machine has been activated having sacrificed his own son peter to allow fauxlivia s son to live fauxlivia becomes distressed at walternate s actions and later returns to liberty to the prime universe but is caught before she can use them walternate locks her away seeing her as a traitor to his cause production am est was written by coexecutive producers david wilcox and josh singer and executive story editor graham roland filmmaker jeannot szwarc directed it though the season finale was scheduled to be just an hour long executive producer jeff pinkner confirmed that the last three episodes would be linked in one continuous story arc this was a reflection of pinkner and fellow executive producer jh wyman s intent to have the last three episodes of every season seem like you re turning the last page of a chapter in a novel and usually in a good novel the last pages of a chapter compels you forward with a new understanding of what the subject matter is and you get deeper and you cant wait to turn that page some media outlets have referred to the episodes as a threepart thirdseason finale during a conference call with journalists actor john of the third season an epic trilogy he elaborated all year we ve been heading toward the fact that there seems to be an inevitable conflict between the two universes and we ve gotten to know the people on both sides now so we now bring it to a conclusion starting with by the next episode we start to deal with the issue because our earth starts to deteriorate events start to happen here which indicate that our world is degrading and so everyone has to move into another gear and say okay this problem is not going to go away it s now affecting our side we do have a machine which we believe can assist in the resolution of this problem and so the episode basically deals with the leadup in the first part of that trilogy leading up to the use of that machine in the same interview noble called the episode s title very critical to the series stating that time frame plays through the three episodes finale that time frame in march tvline s michael ausiello exclusively confirmed that previous guest actor kevin corrigan would be returning for the twentieth and twentyfirst episodes of the season corrigan last appeared in the season s twelfth episode concentrate and ask again his role in am est and the following week s episode the last sam weiss marked his sixth and seventh appearances on fringe respectively as with other fringe episodes fox released a science lesson plan in collaboration with science olympiad for grade school children focusing on the science seen in am est with the intention of having students learn about weather forecasting ironically the sunny postdaybreak conditions depicted as occurring at the time used as the episode s title am eastern standard time can not ever occur anywhere in new york state under the daylight saving time rules used in the contemporary united states even on the very first days of the period in the autumn when dst ends and new yet risen over any part of the state the same is true on the last day of standard time in the spring even in montauk long island which is the southeasternmost point of new york the sunrise on the final day of est in was at am a better title for the episode would have thus have been am edt reception ratings on its initial broadcast in the united states the episode was watched by an estimated million viewers with a ratings share for those aged it was seen by percent fewer viewers than the previous week though several other series airing that night were also down in viewers the ratings share resulted in a series low for fringe reviews the av club s noel murray graded the episode with an a explaining that though he did not want to give a full review until the season finale aired he was enjoying how fringe crosscutting between earth and earth and the sense of imminent doom murray continued that he especially liked that in the midst of all this endtimes rush it pauses periodically to check in with the various characters in short oneonone scenes strengthening our sense of what these relationships mean it s something that fringe has gotten good at in the past yearandahalf and something i would nt have predicted for the show back in season one writing for the los angeles times critic andrew hanson noted fringe is preparing for the finale calling am est a movement episode that gives an opportunity to get everyone into place for the big climax in a vein similar to the television series lost hanson enjoyed the two sleights of hand explaining he was surprised by fauxlivia s universecrossing device failing and what happened to peter after touching the machine ign s ramsey isler rated the episode writing this week s episode high marks for character development and putting the pieces in place for a great season finale like hanson isler loved the outcome of peter and the machine calling it a nice plot twist he also praised blair brown as one of the many underappreciated elements of the series writing for maniacom critic kurt anthony krug acknowledged the episode had a tough act to follow after the previous week s episode but stated it s still pretty good sarah stegall from sfscope was happy to see peter taking a more active role with the machine plotline but disliked the episode s religious elements believing that walter s scene in the church felt forced stegall concluded her review noting this episode felt like the first part of a chess game as the pieces are arranged on the board the big move is coming up the endgame that will decide who wins and who loses

 full name jennings v rice is an english contract law case concerning proprietary estoppel facts mr jennings a gardener sued the administrator of his former employer mr rice to have a large house worth conveyed to him on the ground that he had been given an assurance he would get it mrs royle who lived at lawn house shapwick somerset died on august aged without a will or children mr jennings had worked as her gardener since but from the late s had increasingly begun to care for her doing washing helping dressing shopping and going to the toilet she was running out of money and could not continue to pay him she told him he need not worry about that since he would be alright and that this will all be yours one day mr jennings claimed that either there was a claim under the inheritance act or there was a contract the doctrine of proprietary estoppel the administrator contested the payment the high court awarded him taking into account the payments mr jennings had forgone on the basis of proprietary estoppel after rejecting the ia claim and stating that mrs royle s words had been too vague to make a contract mr jennings appealed arguing that he should get the full sum even under proprietary estoppel while mr rice argued that although the full value of the house was the maximum awardable the court should take into account the actual detriment experienced judgment the court of appeal held that the high court had made a correct assessment and proportionality was essential between expectation and detriment in deciding how to satisfy an equity based on proprietary estoppel although the detriment to mr jennings was more difficult to establish than his expectation courts must consider unconscionability in agreeing that the appeal should be dismissed robert walker lj said the following it can not be doubted that in this as in every other area of and can not exercise a completely unfettered discretion according to the individual judge s notion of what is fair in any particular case dr gardner s fourth hypothesis the approach is for the court to adopt whatever style and measure of relief it thinks fit for whatever reason it thinks fit can not be right i do not think that the judgment of hobhouse lj in sledmore v dalby pampcr to which i shall return can possibly be regarded as adopting or advocating an unfettered judicial discretion the need to search for the right principles can not be avoided but it is unlikely to be a short or simple search because as appears from both the english and the australian authorities proprietary estoppel can apply in a wide variety of factual situations and any summary formula is likely to prove to be an oversimplification the cases show a wide range of variation in both of the main elements that is the quality of the the extent of the claimant s detrimental reliance on the assurances the doctrine applies only if these elements in combination make it unconscionable for the person giving the assurances whom i will call the benefactor although that may not always be an appropriate label to go back on them sometimes the assurances and the claimant s reliance on them have a consensual character falling not far short of an enforceable contract if the only bar to the formation of a contract is noncompliance with section of the law of property miscellaneous provisions act the proprietary estoppel may become indistinguishable from a constructive trust yaxley v gotts ch in a case of that sort both the claimant s expectations and the element of detriment to the claimant will have been defined with reasonable clarity a typical case would be an elderly benefactor who reaches a clear understanding with the claimant who may be a relative a friend or a remunerated companion or for the benefactor the claimant will inherit the benefactor s house or will have a home for life in a case like that the consensual element of what has happened suggests that the claimant and the benefactor probably regarded the expected benefit and the accepted detriment as being in a general imprecise way equivalent or at any rate not obviously disproportionate cases of that sort if free from other complications fit fairly comfortably into dr gardner s first or second hypothesis both of which aim to vindicate the claimant s expectations as far as possible and if possible by providing the claimant with the specific property which the benefactor has promised however the claimant s expectations may not be focused on any specific property in re basham wlr the deputy judge mr edward nugee qc rejected the submission that there must be some clearly identified piece of property and that decision has been approved more than once in this court moreover the claimant s expectations may have been formed on the basis of vague and inconsistent assurances the judge said of mrs royle that she was prone to saying different things at different times and perhaps deliberately couched her promises in nonspecific terms he made that observation in relation to the failure of the contract claim but it is relevant to the estoppel claim also if the claimant s expectations are uncertain as will be the case with many honest claimants then their specific vindication can not be the appropriate test a similar problem arises if the court although satisfied that the claimant has a genuine claim is not satisfied that the high level of the claimant s expectations is fairly derived from his deceased patron s assurances which may have justified only a lower level of expectation in such cases the court may still take the claimant s expectations or the upper end of any range of expectations as a starting point but unless constrained by authority i would regard it i do not see that approach as being inconsistent with authority on the contrary i think it is supported by a substantial body of english authority scarman lj s wellknown reference to the minimum equity to do justice to the plaintiff crabb v arun district council ch must no doubt be read in the context of the rather unusual facts of that case but it does not stand alone as scarman lj recognised the line of authority goes back to nineteenthcentury cases such as duke of beaufort v patrick beav and plimmer v wellington corporation app cas a passage in the opinion of the privy council delivered by sir arthur hobhouse in plimmer s case at pp is particularly instructive the conclusion of the passage is that in fact the court must look at the circumstances in each case to decide in what way the equity can be satisfied scarman lj s reference constitutionally parsimonious but it does implicitly recognise that the court must also do justice to the defendant it is no coincidence that these statements of principle refer to satisfying the equity rather than satisfying or vindicating the claimant s expectations the equity arises not from the claimant s expectations alone but from the combination of expectations detrimental reliance and the unconscionableness of allowing the benefactor or the deceased benefactor s estate to go back on the assurances there is a faint parallel with the old equitable doctrine of part performance of which lord selborne said in maddison v alderson app cas in a suit founded on such part performance the defendant is really charged upon the equities resulting from the acts done in execution of the contract and not within the meaning of the statute upon the contract itself so with proprietary estoppel the defendant is charged with satisfying the equity which has arisen from the faint since in the case of estoppel there is no contract and the nexus between the benefactor s assurances and the resulting equity is less direct the assurances are only half the story in dillwyn v llewelyn de g f amp j lord westbury expressed the point in terms which anticipated lord selborne the equity of the donee and the estate to be claimed by virtue of it depend on the transaction that is on the acts done and not on the language of the memorandum which amounted to an imperfect gift to recapitulate there is a category of case in which the benefactor and the claimant have reached a mutual understanding which is in reasonably clear terms but does not amount to a contract i have already referred to the typical case of a carer who has the expectation of coming into the benefactor s house either outright or for life in such a case the court s natural response is to fulfil the claimant s or extravagant or out of all proportion to the detriment which the claimant has suffered the court can and should recognise that the claimant s equity should be satisfied in another and generally more limited way but that does not mean that the court should in such a case abandon expectations completely and look to the detriment suffered by the claimant as defining the appropriate measure of relief indeed in many cases the detriment may be even more difficult to quantify in financial terms than the claimant s expectations detriment can be quantified with reasonable precision if it consists solely of expenditure on improvements to another person s house and in some cases of that sort an equitable charge for the expenditure may be sufficient to satisfy the equity see snell s equity th ed para and the authorities mentioned in that paragraph but the detriment of an ever increasing burden of care for an elderly person and of having to be subservient to his or her moods and wishes is claimant may not be motivated solely by reliance on the benefactor s assurances and may receive some countervailing benefits such as free bed and board in such circumstances the court has to exercise a wide judgmental discretion it would be unwise to attempt any comprehensive enumeration of the factors relevant to the exercise of the court s discretion or to suggest any hierarchy of factors in my view they include but are not limited to the factors mentioned in dr gardner s third hypothesis misconduct of the claimant as in j willis amp sons v willis ch or particularly oppressive conduct on the part of the defendant as in crabb v arun district council or pascoe v turner wlr to these can safely be added the court s recognition that it can not compel people who have fallen out to live peaceably together so that there may be a need for a clean break alterations in the s assurances have been given and the claimant s detriment has been suffered over a long period of years the likely effect of taxation and to a limited degree the other claims legal or moral on the benefactor or his or her estate no doubt there are many other factors which it may be right for the court to take into account in particular factual situations the judge did in this case consider although not in detail what mr jennings might reasonably have earned in the way of arm s length remuneration for his services he also considered what professional nursing care might have cost during the last eight years of mrs royle s life a detailed computational approach was adopted but with a different outcome limited to compensation of reliance loss by the supreme court of tasmania in public trustee v wadley tas lr in which the court discussed the appropriate hourly rate and the total number of hours of housework undertaken by dissenting judgment of wright j had subordinated her own life to that of her father and whose attentive and affectionate service often no doubt at considerable inconvenience to herself put her assistance on a higher plane than that of a domestic servant that illustrates the australian preference for compensating the reliance loss only under english law that approach may sometimes be appropriate see paragraph above but only where on the facts a higher measure would amount to overcompensation in my view it would rarely if ever be appropriate to go into detailed inquiries as to hours and hourly rates where the claim was based on proprietary estoppel rather than a restitutionary claim for services which were not gratuitous but the going rate for livein carers can provide a useful crosscheck in the exercise of the court s discretion i have made some references to the general trend of australian jurisprudence in this area it is unnecessary to attempt any detailed study of the different views expressed by the high court in the very different context of litigation arising out of personal injuries suffered in a collision between two warships or of australian cases since then however i respectfully agree with the view expressed by hobhouse lj in sledmore v dalby pampcr that the principle of proportionality between remedy and detriment emphasised by mason cj in verwayen is relevant in england also as hobhouse lj observed at p to recognise the need for proportionality is to say little more than that the end result must be a just one having regard to the assumption made by the party asserting the estoppel and the detriment which he has experienced the essence of the doctrine of proprietary estoppel is to do what is necessary to avoid an unconscionable result and a disproportionate remedy can not be the right way of going about that cases on interim injunctive relief have recognised the importance of proportionality in the granting of equitable remedies see for instance lock international v beswick court is granting final relief after investigating all the facts proportionality is even more important i do not consider that the judge made any error of law in his approach to the exercise of his discretion or that it was otherwise flawed he did make an error in his reference to the quantum of the relief granted in gillett v holt the claimant was awarded a farmhouse and hectares of land as well as but every case depends on its own facts and that slip can not in my view have played a significant part in the judge s disposal of the case i would therefore dismiss this appeal

 the farc files are computer files which according to the colombian government were retrieved from a revolutionary armed forces of colombia farc camp in ecuador during a colombian raid into ecuador which sparked the andean diplomatic crisis in may the supreme court of colombia ruled the farc files inadmissible as evidence due to their acquisition from abroad by the military rather than by the judicial police and in addition stated that the validity of the content could not be verified provenance and authenticity the crossborder raid on the camp took place in the early hours of march on the afternoon of march in a short press release general scar naranjo director of the colombian national police as spokesperson of the colombian government announced that during the military operation on the colombiaecuador border several documents and three laptops had been retrieved along with the bodies of ral reyes and one of his lieutenants copies of documents were provided by general naranjo to reporters on two external hard drives and three usb memory sticks were later handed to interpol on march during interpol s press conference on may the secretary general said the eight seized computer exhibits contained more than gigabytes of data including written documents spreadsheets images web pages email addresses multimedia files sound and video and encrypted files in nontechnical terms this volume of data would correspond to million filled pages in microsoft word and if all of the seized data were in word format it would take more than years to read at a rate of pages per day interpol the colombian administrative department of security das reported that it had asked for interpol s technical support in order to decipher the seized farc computers according to the das interpol accepted the request and sent several experts to colombia the final report was presented on may interpol s report said that it laptops although the initial colombian security force access to the data sources between and march did not conform to international standards the laptops had been booted and hard drives or usb sticks were viewed president hugo chvez dismissed interpol s findings as a show of clowns ridiculous given by a gringo aggressive corrupt and vagabond policeman about which spending time on is not worthwhile and threatened to revise again both its economic and diplomatic relations with colombia on june interpol issued a new press release in response to a statement by ecuador s foreign ministry that interpol considered to be incorrect the press release stated that ecuador inaccurately suggests that interpol had not established whether the eight seized exhibits forensically examined by interpol s computer forensic experts had been recovered by colombian authorities on march from a farc camp or belonged to raul reyes in fact based on a review of all the information and material provided by colombia including a classified oral briefing interpol was report that the seized computer exhibits it was requested to forensically examine were taken from the farc terrorist camp on march and belonged to raul reyes interpol also added validating that the contents of the computer exhibits were not manipulated after their seizure by colombian authorities is not in any way shape or form the same as saying that the contents of the user files are true and accurate interpol therefore objects to those who suggest that interpol s report validates the source and accuracy of any particular document or user file contained therein according to an unnamed independent german computer expert consulted by heise online there would have been a possibility of introducing potentially manipulated disk images colombian supreme court in may the supreme court of colombia dismissed a case against congressman wilson borja the case rested on material from the farc files the court ruled the material inadmissible as it had not been properly acquired by the judicial police with the prosecutor general s office clarifying that no other power in the country less when ignoring foreign authorities the court also said that the validity of the content could not be verified as the alleged emails had been copied into microsoft word documents and provided no indication of the sender or receiver the ruling would affect a number of open cases where defendants were accused of farc collaboration based on farc files evidence allegations the documents contained a letter from reyes to the high command of farc explaining that he had recently held meetings with the security minister of ecuador gustavo larrea representing president correa who had indicated a desire to establish formal relations with the farc in the letter reyes conveys the following information to the high command the intention of the ecuadorian government to replace police forces that do not accept the presence of the guerrilla organization in the area the request for the release of a hostage perhaps the son of professor moncayo or someone else who may increase political action and the decision of ecuador to annul next year s license for the use of s interior minister fernando bustamante dismissed these allegations as false he stated that we are not going to accept such a thing he added it is very easy to say something based on evidence that has not been scrutinized publicly or internationally the next day another set of documents allegedly indicating a relationship between the farc and venezuela was released according to naranjo the documents suggested that chvez had given the farc guerrillas us million and was assisting the organization to obtain kg of uranium scar naranjo also said there was evidence that hugo chvez had received million pesos when he was a jailed rebel leader some of the documents along with photographs obtained from reyes laptops were passed to the press the vice president of colombia francisco santos claimed at a disarmament forum in geneva that the farc was planning to build a dirty bomb although he presented no evidence to back up his allegations a message to reyes subsequently found on one of the computers seems to indicate that a letter from the farc supremo manuel marulanda to the venezuelan president was released on march in this letter marulanda thanks the venezuelan government for its assistance in the war against the colombian government and the lvaro uribe presidency which was supported by the united states farc also offered their modest knowledge in defense of the bolivarian revolution in case of a gringo aggression understood to mean assistance against a possible military action from the united states denials venezuelan interior minister ramn rodrguez chacn denied the accusations and stated that they say that they find in that computer a letter from marulanda to our commander in chief everybody already knows the letters the ones showed by our commander in chief pay attention venezuelan and colombian people how they manage the manipulation and deception that kind of santanderist technique and now with fascism rodrguez chacn also stated that months before venezuelan authorities had seized another computer from the deceased narcotrafficker wilson varela which in turn implicated colombian police and general scar and business between that general and that mafia capo to not reveal important information juan david naranjo was one of his links and adjutants brother of general scar naranjo trujillo said rodrguez chacn he added that he had not previously made the documents public because of ethics the affair that involved general naranjo s brother in drug trafficking had been widely known since may when naranjo himself announced it to the press the colombian government stated that it would present the documents to the organization of american states oas to demonstrate that venezuela and ecuador were supporting the farc and thereby violating international law against the harboring of terrorists president uribe stated that our un ambassador will announce that colombia intends to denounce hugo chvez president of venezuela to the international criminal court for sponsoring and financing people that commit genocide on march ecuadorian security minister gustavo larrea admitted having met with farc without specifying where later that day ecuador s government announced it was in very advanced talks with farc to president rafael correa the effort was thwarted by colombia s military operation the colombian government rejected this argument insisting that the captured computer documents revealed ecuador to be engaging in hostage trafficking for political means and political gain by suggesting that it would rotate military personnel on the border in order to allow the farc to operate more freely newspaper revelations on march the colombian newsweekly revista semana published the second of two special editions following the death of farc s ral reyes presenting some of the documents said to have been found on the computers seized by the colombian government the documents included several letters between farc commanders and the secretariat on september a clandestine meeting had been held between a member or a emissary of the secretariat and the president of venezuela in caracas as inferred from a letter from je to the secretariat on april a daniel writes in a letter to members of the secretariat joaqun gmez and fabin ramrez chupeta a man with high acquisitive power to carry out an exchange of farc drugs for missiles according to this document chupeta has contacts in lebanon and his organization can handle the transport in two ways via europe or via mexico on october ivn mrquez writes of a meeting with rodrguez chacn in which is discussed a meeting of commanders in venezuela fuerte tiuna in caracas valencia barinas or trujillo with security dealt with by venezuelan military forces and organised by rodrguez chacn an expert on this kind of issues if it takes place president chvez will be accompanied by presidents ortega morales and correa which are patria o muerte this meeting between chvez and marulanda became an issue following publication of these documents on october details about secret meetings between rodrguez chacn and the farc were recorded dealing with a request for proof that

 the central asian orogenic belt caob also known as altaids is one of the largest accretionary orogens on earth and evolved over some million years from the latest mesoproterozoic to the early triassic it contains a record of geodynamic processes during one of the most important episodes of continental growth in phanerozoic time location the caob stretches from the ural mountains to the pacific ocean occupying an area of about million square kilometers about of the asian surface area it is bounded on the north by the siberian craton and on the south by the north china craton and the tarim craton which provides substrate for the tarim basin the caob encompasses parts of six nations china mongolia russia kazakhstan kyrgyzstan and uzbekistan it includes mountain ranges north of tibet including the tian shan chinese for heavenly mountains where a good example of paleozoic arc accretion is exposed the altai mountains of russia kazakhstan northwest china and western mongolia also well exposed in kazakhstan the south gobi range of southern mongolia the beishan and inner mongolia of northern china the sayan mountains of southern siberia just north of mongolia the ranges of buratia in southern siberia south of lake baikal and in the far east of china and russia geologic evolution there has been much discussion about the tectonic evolution of the caob over the last two decades and these interpretations fall into two general groups one group of researchers suggests that the belt grew in the neoproterozoic and palaeozoic from the margin of the siberian craton to the south through accretion of island arcs and precambrian continental blocks until the evolution was terminated through collision with the north china and tarim cratons in the latest paleozoic to early mesozoic windley et al krner et al xiao et al the original paleogeographic position of the continental blocks is debated but some studies suggest a gondwana affinity of many allochthonous terranes dobretsov et al a siberian or tarim origin for the same blocks kuzmichev rojasagramonte et al the second group of researchers regards the caob as mainly composed of a huge paleozoic subductionaccretion complex sengr et al which accumulated against a single long magmatic arc the caob like other major accretionary orogens consists of accretionary wedges island arc forearc and backarc systems largely dismembered ophiolites oceanic plateaux blocks of older continental crust ranging in age from archaean to neoproterozoic synorogenic granite and metamorphic rocks including exhumed hpuhp metamorphic rocks clastic sedimentary basins permian postcollisional granitoids and intraplate igneous suites largescale late paleozoic shear zones follow the orogenic grain there are many controversies about caob tectonomagmatic evolution one is the problem of juvenile versus recycled crust in the formation of caob igneous rocks on one hand the caob is considered to be the most important site of juvenile crust formation since the neoproterozoic because during its amalgamation magmatic units massive amounts of granitic magmas were generated with juvenile nd isotopic signatures jahn however recently obtained detrital and xenocrystic zircon ages confirmed an important role for older crust in the orogens evolution eg rino et al safonova et al rojasagramonte et al the modest neoproterozoic and huge earlymiddle paleozoic zircon age spectra matche caob crustal growth very well but older peaks of ga and ga suggest the involvement of older crust references

besides being the first us satellite it is known for discovering the van allen radiation belt the explorer program was transferred to nasa which continued to use the name for an ongoing series of relatively small space missions typically an artificial satellite with a science focus over the years nasa has launched a series of explorer spacecraft carrying a wide variety of scientific investigations pioneer program the pioneer program is a series of nasa unmanned space missions that was designed for planetary exploration there were a number of such missions in the program but the most notable were pioneer and pioneer which explored the outer planets and left the solar system both carry a golden plaque depicting a man and a woman and information about the origin and the creators of the probes should any extraterrestrials find them someday additionally the pioneer mission to venus consisted of two components launched separately pioneer venus studied the planet for more than a decade after orbital insertion in pioneer venus or pioneer venus multiprobe sent four small probes into the venusian atmosphere echo project project echo was the first passive communications satellite experiment each spacecraft was a metalized balloon satellite to be inflated in space and acting as a passive reflector of microwave signals communication signals were bounced off of them from onepoint on earth to another nasa s echo satellite was built by gilmore schjeldahl company in northfield minnesota following the failure of the delta rocket carrying echo on may echo a was put successfully into a to mi orbit by another thordelta and a microwave transmission from the jet propulsion laboratory in pasadena california was received at bell laboratories in homdel new jersey on august echo was a meter ft diameter metalized pet film balloon which was the last balloon satellite launched by project echo it used an improved inflation system was launched january on a thor agena rocket ranger program the ranger program was a series of unmanned space missions by the united states in the s whose objective was to obtain the first closeup images of the surface of the moon the ranger spacecraft were designed to take images of the lunar surface returning those images until they were destroyed upon impact a series of mishaps however led to the failure of the first six flights at one point the program was called shoot and hope congress launched an investigation into problems of management at nasa headquarters and jet propulsion laboratory after reorganizing the organization twice ranger successfully returned images in july followed by two more successful missions ranger was originally designed beginning in in three distinct phases called blocks each block had different mission objectives and progressively more advanced system design the jpl mission designers planned multiple launches in each block to maximize the engineering experience and scientific value flight total research development launch and support costs for the ranger series of spacecraft rangers through was approximately million telstar commercial project with nasa contribution telstar was not a nasa program but a commercial communication satellite project nasa s contribution to it was limited to launch services as well as tracking and telemetry duties the first two telstar satellites were experimental and nearly identical telstar was launched on top of a thordelta rocket on july it successfully relayed through space the first television pictures telephone calls fax images and provided the first live transatlantic television feed telstar was launched may bell telephone laboratories designed and built the telstar satellite they were prototypes intended to prove various concepts behind the large constellation of orbiting satellites the faceted lb kg sphere had a diameter of a little more than inches about m bell telephone laboratories also developed much of solar cells and traveling wave tube amplifiers to handle telstar communications atampt built ground stations at andover maine pleumeurbodou france and goonhilly downs britain these were similar to but larger than the ground station used for project echo telstar was a technical success a us information agency usia poll showed that telstar was better known in great britain than sputnik had been in in contrast to sputnik telstar s signals were useful mariner program the mariner program conducted by nasa launched a series of robotic interplanetary probes designed to investigate mars venus and mercury the program included a number of firsts including the first planetary flyby the first pictures from another planet the first planetary orbiter and the first gravity assist maneuver of the ten vehicles in the mariner series seven were successful and three were lost the planned mariner and mariner vehicles evolved into voyager and voyager of the voyager program enlarged versions of the mariner spacecraft other marinerbased spacecraft launched since voyager included the magellan probe to venus and the galileo probe to jupiter a secondgeneration mariner spacecraft called the mariner mark ii series eventually evolved into the cassinihuygens probe now in orbit around saturn all mariner spacecraft were based on a hexagonal or octagonal bus which housed all of the electronics and to which all components were attached such as antennae cameras propulsion and power sources all probes except mariner mariner and mariner had tv cameras the first five mariners were launched on atlasagena rockets while the last five used the atlascentaur all marinerbased probes after mariner used the titan iiie titan iv unmanned rockets or the space shuttle with a solidfueled inertial upper stage and multiple planetary flybys surveyor program the surveyor program was a nasa program that from through sent seven robotic spacecraft to the surface of the moon its primary goal moon the mission called for the craft to travel directly to the moon on an impact trajectory no orbit first on a journey that lasted to hours and ended with a deceleration of just over three minutes to a softlanding the program was implemented by nasa s jet propulsion laboratory jpl to prepare for the apollo program the total cost of the surveyor program was officially million five of the surveyor craft successfully softlanded on the moon including the first one two failed surveyor crashed at high velocity after a failed midcourse correction and surveyor was lost for contact possibly exploding minutes before its scheduled touchdown all seven spacecraft are still on the moon none of the missions included returning them to earth some parts of surveyor were returned to earth by the crew of apollo which landed near it in the camera from this craft is on display at the national air and space museum in washington dc helios ii space probes also known as heliosa and heliosb were a pair of probes launched into heliocentric orbit for the purpose of studying solar processes a joint venture of the federal republic of germany west germany and nasa the probes were launched from cape canaveral air force station florida on dec and jan respectively the probes are notable for setting a maximum speed record among spacecraft at h mih or mis or s or c the helios space probes completed their primary missions by the early s but they continued to send data up to the probes are no longer functional but still remain in their elliptical orbit around the sun viking program the viking program consisted of a pair of space probes sent to marsviking and viking each vehicle was composed of two main parts an orbiter designed to photograph the surface of mars from orbit and a lander designed to study the communication relays for the landers once they touched down viking was launched on august and the second craft viking was launched on september both riding atop titan iiie rockets with centaur upper stages by discovering many geological forms that are typically formed from large amounts of water the viking program caused a revolution in scientific ideas about water on mars the primary objectives of the viking orbiters were to transport the landers to mars perform reconnaissance to locate and certify landing sites act as a communications relays for the landers and to perform their own scientific investigations the orbiter based on the earlier mariner spacecraft was an octagon approximately m ft across the total launch mass was of which were propellant and attitude control gas voyager program the voyager program is a series of nasa unmanned space missions that consists of a pair of unmanned scientific probes voyager and voyager they were launched in to s although they were officially designated to study just jupiter and saturn the two probes were able to continue their mission into the outer solar system both probes have achieved escape velocity from the solar system and will never return both missions have gathered large amounts of data about the gas giants of the solar system of which little was previously known voyager was at a distance of au billion km or billion miles traveling away from both the earth and the sun at a speed of s which corresponds to a greater specific orbital energy than any other probe high energy astronomy observatory the first of nasa s three high energy astronomy observatories heao launched august aboard an atlas rocket with a centaur upper stage operated until january during that time it scanned the xray sky almost three times over kev mev provided nearly constant monitoring of xray sources near the ecliptic number of objects through pointed observations heao included four large xray and gammaray astronomy instruments known as a a a and a respectively before launch heao was known as heao a the orbital inclination was about degrees heao reentered the earth s atmosphere on march solar maximum mission the solar maximum mission satellite or solarmax was designed to investigate solar phenomenon particularly solar flares it was launched on february although not unique in this endeavor the smm was notable in that its useful life compared with similar spacecraft was significantly increased by the direct intervention of a manned space mission during stsc in the space shuttle challenger intercepted the smm maneuvering it into the shuttle s payload bay for maintenance and repairs smm had been fitted with a shuttle grapple fixture so that the shuttle s robot arm could grab it for repair the mission was depicted in the imax movie the dream when the spacecraft reentered the atmosphere and burned up infrared astronomical satellite iras the infrared astronomical satellite iras was the firstever spacebased observatory to perform a survey of the entire sky at infrared wavelengths it discovered about sources many of which are still awaiting identification new discoveries included a dust disk around vega and the first images of the milky way galaxy s core iras s life like that of most of infrared satellites that followed after was limited by its cooling system to effectively work in the infrared domain the telescope must be cooled to cryogenic temperatures in iras s case kilograms of superfluid helium kept the telescope at a temperature of kelvins about c by evaporation the supply of liquid helium was depleted after months on november causing the telescope temperature to rise and preventing further observations the spacecraft continues to orbit close to the earth the telescope was a joint project nivr and the united kingdom serc over infrared sources were observed at and micrometer wavelengths magellan probe the magellan spacecraft was a space probe sent to the planet venus the first unmanned interplanetary spacecraft to be launched by nasa since its successful pioneer orbiter also to venus in it was also the first of three deepspace probes to be launched on the space shuttle and the first spacecraft to employ aerobraking techniques to lower its orbit magellan created the first and currently the best high resolution mapping of the planet s surface features prior venus missions had created low resolution radar globes of general continentsized formations magellan performed detailed imaging and analysis of craters hills ridges and other geologic formations to a degree comparable to the visiblelight photographic mapping of other planets galileo probe galileo was an unmanned spacecraft sent by nasa to study the planet jupiter and its by the space shuttle atlantis on the sts mission it arrived at jupiter on december a little more than six years later via gravitational assist flybys of venus and earth despite antenna problems galileo conducted the first asteroid flyby discovered the first asteroid moon was the first spacecraft to orbit jupiter and launched the first probe into jupiter s atmosphere galileo s prime mission was a twoyear study of the jovian system the spacecraft traveled around jupiter in elongated ellipses each orbit lasting about two months the differing distances from jupiter afforded by these orbits allowed galileo to sample different parts of the planet s extensive magnetosphere the orbits were designed for close up flybys of jupiter s largest moons once galileo s prime mission was concluded an extended mission followed starting on december the spacecraft made a number of daring close flybys of jupiter s moons europa and io the closest approach was mi on october on september of service in the jovian system around jupiter galileo s mission was terminated by sending the orbiter into jupiter s atmosphere at a speed of nearly kilometers per second the program s funding was running out and the spacecraft was low on propellant in addition many systems were damaged one of the reasons given for its destruction was to avoid the chance of it contaminating local moons with bacteria from earth of particular interest was the icecrusted moon europa which thanks to galileo scientists now suspect harbors a salt water ocean beneath its surface hubble space telescope the hubble space telescope hst is a space telescope that was carried into orbit by a space shuttle in april it is named after american astronomer edwin hubble although not the first space telescope hubble is one of the largest and most versatile and is well known as both a vital research tool and a public relations boon for astronomy the hst is a collaboration between nasa and s great observatories along with the compton gamma ray observatory the chandra xray observatory and the spitzer space telescope the hst s success has paved the way for greater collaboration between the agencies the hst was created with a relatively small budget of billion and has continued operation since delighting both scientists and the public some of its images such as the groundbreaking hubble deep field have become famous ulysses ulysses is a decommissioned robotic space probe that was designed to study the sun as a joint venture of nasa and the european space agency esa due to the loss of challenger the launch of ulysses was delayed until october aboard discovery mission sts the spacecraft s mission was to study the sun at all latitudes to do this required a major orbital plane shift due to velocity change limitations of the shuttle and the inertial upper stage ius this was accomplished by using an an engine burn the need for a jupiter encounter meant that ulysses could not be powered by solar cells and was powered by a radioisotope thermoelectric generator rtg instead by february the power output from the rtg which is generated by heat from the radioactive decay of plutonium had decreased enough to leave insufficient power for internal heaters to keep the spacecraft s attitude control hydrazine fuel from freezing the end of mission was at onepoint scheduled for july but mission scientists came up with a method to keep the fuel liquid by conducting a short thruster burn every two hours allowing the mission to continue the cessation of mission operations and deactivation or hibernation of the spacecraft was determined by the inability to prevent attitude control fuel from freezing the last day for mission operations on ulysses was june upper atmosphere research satellite uars uars is a science satellite used from to to study earth s atmosphere including the ozone layer durable allowing extended observation from its instrument suite it was launched aboard space shuttle discovery and deployed into space from the payload bay with its robotic arm under guidance from the crew the satellite was expected to undergo atmospheric reentry in the late evening of friday september or early morning of saturday september eastern daylight time on september am edt uars made its reentry at around about tonnes it was the heaviest nasa satellite to undergo uncontrolled atmospheric entry since skylab in the summer which was roughly tonnes it is heavier than pegasus which fell back in fall of but weighed less than tonnes discovery program nasa s discovery program as compared to new frontiers explorers or flagship programs is a series of lowercost highlyfocused american scientific space missions that are exploring the solar system it was founded in to implement thennasa administrator daniel s goldin s vision of faster traditional nasa missions where targets and objectives are prespecified instead these costcapped missions are proposed and led by a scientist called the principal investigator pi proposing teams may include people from industry small businesses government laboratories and universities proposals are selected through a competitive peer review process all of the completed discovery missions are accomplishing groundbreaking science and adding significantly to the body of knowledge about the solar system nasa also accepts proposals for competitively selected discovery program missions of opportunity this provides opportunities to participate in nonnasa missions by providing funding for a science instrument or hardware components of a science instrument or to repurpose an existing nasa spacecraft these opportunities are currently offered through nasa s stand alone mission of opportunity program examples of missions are mars pathfinder kepler stardust genesis and deep impact the mars pathfinder mesur pathfinder later renamed the carl sagan memorial station was launched on december just a month after the mars global surveyor was launched on board execute many experiments on the martian surface it was the second project from nasa s discovery program which promotes the use of lowcost spacecraft and frequent launches under the motto cheaper faster and better promoted by the then administrator daniel goldin the mission was directed by the jet propulsion laboratory a division of the california institute of technology responsible for nasa s mars exploration program kepler is a space observatory launched by nasa to discover earthlike planets orbiting other stars the spacecraft named in honor of the thcentury german astronomer johannes kepler was launched in march stardust is a kilogram robotic space probe launched by nasa on february to study the asteroid annefrank and collect samples from the coma of comet wild the primary mission was completed january when the sample return capsule returned to earth operating for stardust intercepted comet tempel on february a small solar system body previously visited by deep impact on july it and return the sample to earth and the first to acquire images of a previously visited comet the genesis spacecraft was a nasa sample return probe which collected a sample of solar wind and returned it to earth for analysis it was the first nasa sample return mission to return material since the apollo program and the first to return material from beyond the orbit of the moon genesis was launched on august and crashlanded in utah on september after a design flaw prevented the deployment of its drogue parachute the crash contaminated many of the sample collectors but although most were damaged many of the collectors were successfully recovered deep impact is a nasa space probe launched on january it was designed to study the composition of the comet interior of ptempel by releasing an impactor into the comet at utc on july the impactor successfully collided with the comet s nucleus the impact excavated debris from the interior of the nucleus showed the comet to be more dusty and less icy than had been expected clementine clementine officially called the deep space program science experiment dspse was a joint space project between the ballistic missile defense organization bmdo previously the strategic defense initiative organization or sdio and nasa launched on january the objective of the mission was to test sensors and spacecraft components under extended exposure to the space environment and to make scientific observations of the moon and the nearearth asteroid geographos the geographos observations were not made due to a malfunction in the spacecraft mars global surveyor the mars global surveyor mgs was developed by nasa s jet propulsion laboratory and launched november it began the united states return to mars after a year absence it completed its primary mission in january and was in its third extended mission phase when on november the spacecraft failed to respond to commands in spacecraft used a series of highresolution cameras to explore the surface of mars during its mission returning more than images spanning portions of martian years from september to november the surveyor s cameras utilized instruments a narrow angle camera that took blackandwhite high resolution images usually to m per pixel red and blue wide angle pictures for context m per pixel and daily global imaging per pixel cassinihuygens cassinihuygens is a joint nasaesaasi spacecraft mission studying the planet saturn and its many natural satellites it includes a saturn orbiter and an atmospheric probelander for the moon titan although it has also returned data on a wide variety of other things including the heliosphere jupiter and relativity tests the titan probe huygens entered and landed on titan in cassini is the fourth space probe to visit saturn and the first to enter orbit with its mission ongoing as on a titan ivbcentaur and entered into orbit around saturn on july after an interplanetary voyage which included flybys of earth venus and jupiter on december huygens separated from the orbiter at approximately utc it reached saturn s moon titan on january when it entered titan s atmosphere and descended downward to the surface it successfully returned data to earth using the orbiter as a relay this was the first landing ever accomplished in the outer solar system sixteen european countries and the united states make up the team responsible for designing building flying and collecting data from the cassini orbiter and huygens probe the mission is managed by nasas jet propulsion laboratory in the united states where the orbiter was assembled huygens was developed by the european space research and technology centre whose prime contractor was alcatel of france equipment and instruments for the probe were supplied by many countries new millennium program project with focus on engineering validation of new technologies for space applications funding for the program was eliminated from the fy budget by the th united states congress effectively leading to its cancellation the spacecraft in the new millennium program were originally named deep space for missions demonstrating technology for planetary missions and earth observing for missions demonstrating technology for earth orbiting missions with a refocussing of the program in the deep space series was renamed space technology deep space ds is a spacecraft dedicated to testing a payload of advanced high risk technologies launched on october the deep space mission carried out a flyby of asteroid braille which was selected as the mission s science target its mission was extended twice to include an encounter with comet borrelly and further engineering testing problems during its initial stages and with its star tracker led to repeated changes in mission configuration while the flyby of the asteroid was a partial success the encounter with the comet had to work within a few minutes of separation from the carrier rocket for the mission to continue the deep space series was continued by the deep space probes which were launched in january on mars polar lander and were intended to strike the surface of mars deep space was the first

 precededby son of god also known as jesus the complete story and jesus the real story is an awardwinning british documentary series that chronicles the life of jesus christ using scientific and contemporary historical evidence it was presented by jeremy bowen and its first episode premiered in the united kingdom on april the executive producer was ruth pitt and it was directed by jeanclaude bragardit took a total of months to produce and cost a full symphonic score was composed by james whitbourn son of god featured interviews with historians and other biblical experts live action reenactments of the life of jesus with leron livo in the lead role and computergenerated images of what locations from jesus s time might have looked like these images created by design team red vision were praised by critics and received an outstanding achievement award at the royal television society north awards son three episodes each of which focused on a different stage of jesus s life the first episode the real man looked at the historical evidence for the existence of jesus and documented his life from his birth to his temptation episode two the mission discussed how jesus became popular among jews and greeks and why the pharisees of the area might have seen him as a threat the final hours the third and final episode of son of god looked at jesus s crucifixion and presented some ideas as to how the traditional views of the crucifixion may conflict with how it really occurred the episode concluded with the construction of a computergenerated animation of how jesus may have appeared critical reaction to the series was mixed while some reviewers praised the programme for being worthy of its publicity by focusing on history rather than spirituality others remarked that it was dumbed down and went off on strange tangents the reliability of the facial reconstruction was also questioned the uk on bbc one during april where it received a viewership of six million and an audience share of in the united states the series was shown on the discovery channel under the name jesus the complete story as a single threehour programme two weeks after its uk broadcast the show was also licensed to countries including france denmark and new zealand production son of god was devised in and was produced and jointsponsored by bbc manchester and the discovery channel in association with france and jerusalem productions the show was directed by jeanclaude bragardwhose previous bbc work had included kicking amp screaming a history of football and the documentary series panorama and the executive producer was ruth pitt who had worked on documentaries such as up and channel s the state of marriage during its promotion pitt described son of god ever been done jeremy bowen a former middle east correspondent for bbc news was chosen to present the programme for its uk broadcast british conductor james whitbourn was commissioned to write a complete symphonic score for the series which was performed by the bbc philharmonic the completed programme featured more than an hour and a half of whitbourn s music whitbourn subsequently used the seminal themes from his orchestral score as the basis of his popular choral work son of god mass for soprano saxophone choir and organ computer graphic images were created by design group red vision who employed techniques similar to ones used in the bbc series walking with dinosaurs speaking in september a spokesman for red vision stated that their involvement in son of god had been incredibly successful for them promotional campaigns for both the british and american broadcasts of the series focused on the technology and science being used in the programme and the special effects facial reconstruction during the final episode showing what jesus might have looked like garnered significant media attention in the leadup to episode one several newspapers including the daily mail and the guardian ran stories speculating whether the computergenerated image could show the true face of jesus british television listings magazine radio times featured the reconstructed face on the cover of its march issue under the headline is this the face of jesus this cover and its headline received criticism from some commentators for being sensationalist and misleading episodes son of god consists of a single series of three episodes each episode lasts approximately minutes and documents a different stage of jesus s life the episodes take the format of bowen visiting significant locations from the life of jesus talking head interviews with historians and biblical experts and reenactments of jesus s life featuring israeli actor liron levo locations from jesus s timesuch as caesarea yatta and plans and were then digitised into computer graphics by red vision the real man the first episode of son of god the real man documents jesus s life up to his temptation and details the historical evidence for his existence bowen visits jerusalem where he calls jesus s death one of the best attested facts in ancient history ref he cites the romanojewish historian josephus as one of sources that confirms that jesus existed and that describes him as a wise man who did surprising feats won over followers from among jews and greeks was accused by the jewish leaders and was condemned to be crucified by pilate bowen interviews james h charlesworth from princeton university about the discovery of the dead sea scrolls in then travels to bethlehem to visit the church of the nativity a structure built over a series of firstcentury caves and grottos while there he speculates that jesus may have been born in a cave rather than an inn from the hebrew university of jerusalem confirms this saying that the greek word katalyma is usually translated into english as upper room rather than inn ref the real man also looks at the story of the star of bethlehem which bowen states would have been an astrological rather than astronomical phenomenon according to astronomer michael molner astrologers from around the time of herod the great would have believed that the constellation aries symbolised his kingdom and the lands that he controlled during bc the year that some scholars theorise that jesus was born a rare planetary alignment meant that jupiter saturn the sun and the moon would have all appeared in this constellation ref bowen next looks at how jesus would have been born out of wedlock mark goodacre a historian from the university of birmingham asserts that jewish pagan and christian sources all confirm that jesus was born out of wedlock as do both the gospels of matthew and luke all four canonical gospels agree that the city of nazareth was where jesus university proposes that jesus s interest in religion and politics might have been sparked off during a family visit to the temple mount the headquarters of the jewish faith ref the episode ends with bowen spending the night alone at the mount of temptation just above jericho where jesus is traditionally believed to have spent days and nights being tempted by the devil the mission episode two the mission discusses how jesus became popular and why the pharisees might have seen him as a potential threat bowen visits the dome of the rock the site of jerusalem s temple and discusses how jesus went to the sea of galilee to recruit his disciples he speaks with orna cohen a conservator of antiquities who led the excavation of the sea of galilee boat who suggests that the boat may have been similar to one owned by saint peter bowen then travels to capernaum and visits the house of peter where he speaks to mordechai aviam an archaeologist from the israel antiquities authority that the house belonged to peter bowen visits the tomb of a firstcentury scholar and miracleworker named hanina ben dosa and contrasts hanina s life with that of jesus s for example while jesus was executed hanina was not ref the mission then looks at how jesus may have been viewed by the religious leaders of the time the canonical gospels report over one hundred cases of jesus healing or performing exorcisms and making the unclean clean again ref jesus told lepers to go up to the temple mount where they were usually excluded and claimed that he could forgive sins without going through the ordinary channels jesus met and ate with sinners the disabled and prostitutes and fulfilled old testament prophecy by riding into the temple mount through the golden gate on a donkey at passover bowen concludes that all these reasons would have meant that the pharisees of the time would have seen him as threatening ref the final hours the final hours the third episode of son alive bowen claims that the last supper would have been held in the guest room of a welltodo house in jerusalem ref writings by josephus suggest that the last supper took place in a triclinium as guest of honour jesus would have been at the end of the table with john the apostle at his side rather than at the centre as proposed by more familiar depictions such as leonardo da vinci s the last supper bowen then looks at whether or not jesus could have sweated blood at gethsemane leaving the middle east for the first time he travels to new york city and meets with frederick zugibe a forensic pathologist at columbia university zugibe states that jesus may have been suffering from hematidrosis a medical condition brought about by stress from knowing that one is about to die he also says that he has seen similar symptoms in sailors and in men given death sentences zugibe experiments on volunteers in rutland county vermont by measuring their blood pressure while level with their shoulders he concludes that the traditional view of jesus s crucifixion with the nails of the cross driven through his hands rather than wrists may have been possible if his feet were supported the discovery of the skeleton of jehohanan a firstcentury man who was put to death by crucifixion also supports this theory ref next bowen questions whether the disciple judas iscariot truly did doublecross jesus william klassen an historian at cole biblique in jerusalem theorises that the greek word paradidomi was mistranslated and that judas simply handed over jesus to the romans rather than betrayed him ref the final hours ends with a facial reconstruction suggesting what jesus may have looked like using one of three firstcentury jewish skulls from a forensic science department in israel a clay model is created through forensic anthropology by richard neave a retired medical artist from the unit of art in medicine at manchester university the graphics created by red vision were well received the daily record mclean of the guardian noted that the series was visually quite a treat mclean also commented that the programme itself was rather interesting but that it contained slightly odd slightly irrelevant diversions a review of a more critical nature came from catherine bennett also writing for the guardian who questioned the facial reconstruction from the third episode and suggested that it was dismissive to imply that it was how jesus truly appeared speaking about the study bennett remarked we must hope that future bbc controllers do not dig up say robin cook s skull drape it in plasticine and ask is this the real face of tony blair john preston writing for the sunday telegraph also questioned the reliability of the reconstruction and branded the series as dumbed down the programme received criticism from theological scholars following the broadcast of the first episode tom wright one of two consultants used during production been misrepresented by the show wright claimed that the bbc had elected to portray jesus simply as a politically correct social worker father heinrich pfeiffer a german professor of iconography at the pontifical gregorian university similarly felt that the computergenerated

 the deaf community over time has worked to improve the educational system for those who are deaf and hard of hearing the history of deaf education dates back to ancient egypt where the deaf were respected and revered in contrast those who were deaf in ancient greece were considered a burden to society and put to death the educational aspects of the deaf community has evolved tremendously and still continues to grow as new technologies laws and educational strategies on local national and international levels are steadily being introduced ancient egypt during the bc era the disabled were not harmed or killed by the egyptians despite the fact that they had birth defects this is due to the fact that the egyptians lived by a philanthropic way of life many of the disabled citizens displayed talents that were not easily acquired the deaf were considered to be especially selected by the gods because of their peculiar behavior this behavior was a direct result of their disability to hear and desire to communicate the use of hieroglyphs and gesture signs ancient greece sign language was first documented in ancient greece in one of plato s dialogues he describes how the deaf used gestures to mimic moving objects through similar motions plato quotes his teacher socrates in the cratylus as follows if we had neither voice nor tongue and yet wished to manifest things to one another should we not like those which are at present mute endeavor to signify our meaning by the hands head and other parts of the body i think therefore that if we wished to signify that which is upwards and light we should raise our hands towards the heaven imitating the nature of the thing itself but that if we wished to indicate things downwards and heavy we should point with our hands to the earth unlike ancient egypt the greeks felt it was better to kill anyone with a disability the deaf were especially considered a burden in athens where it was believed that anyone to death the city of athens felt that ending the lives of those impaired was in the best interests of the state this was due to the fact that war and conflict occurred continuously and certain abilities were considered important to have everyone was meant to serve the state philosopher aristotle along with greek physician galen concluded that the deaf could never speak believing that the ability to speak and hear were linked being derived from the same area in the brain galen feeling that if one capability was impaired the other would be impaired also was considered to be correct additionally aristotle s views which were similarly related to galen s were also viewed as accurate and this idea went unchallenged until the sixteenth century ad key figures pedro ponce de leon a spanish benedictine monk during the midsixteenth century brothers pedro and francisco fernandez velasco y tovar were sent to live in a monastery by the name of ona where they were under the guidance of pedro ponce de leon the powerful families in spain at that time the noble families sent their disabled children to monasteries because it was believed that the children s disabilities were directly related to the sins of the parents for this reason the families hid their children because they were ashamed during this time ten percent of children born to noble families were deaf this was due to the fact that noble families in spain during this time married their blood relatives to keep the wealth within the family the velasco boys were placed under the care of ponce because of their attachment to him when they arrived at the monastery ponce himself had become attached to the boys and decided to educate them many critics credit ponce with being the first person to educate the deaf but it is stated by van cleve in deaf history unveiled that he was in fact not the first person to educate the deaf but the first person to teach the deaf to speak he then argues that a monk from la estrella whose name is not with educating the deaf contrastingly in the history of deaf people written by per eriksson he credits st john of beverley with being the first person to educate the deaf st john was the archbishop of york england around ad he is considered to be the first to disagree with aristotle s opinion of a deaf person s ability to learn sign language communication came from both the homes of the deaf in addition to the monasteries they were sent to th century advocates thomas fox thomas fox was born on november he became deaf at age ten after having spinal meningitis soon after his parents enrolled him in the new york school for the deaf in which he became a part of the deaf community after leaving the new york school for the deaf he enrolled in gallaudet college in during his time at gallaudet fox went to a meeting for the national association of the deaf while at this meeting fox became a promoter preconceptions against deaf people made in an attempt to remove certain cultural aspects of the deaf community however the specifics of the criticisms were not mentioned in detail fox wanted deaf schools to remain active along with the job availability for deaf instructors and language interpretation within the classes after graduating from gallaudet he returned to his grade school in new york to teach after his retirement he remained involved in the school s activities until his death in th century cochlear implant the cochlear implant is a device surgically implanted in the skull that provides stimulation to the nerve to promote hearing it is a prosthetic with wires attached to the cochlea and is located behind the ear the cochlear implant has a microphone connecting cables a speech processor and a battery the processor converts sounds into electrical impulses by taking information from sound patterns and producing an electrical pulse in the ear of the host although the implant does provide an artificial means by which its hosts can hear this does not elevate sound with this implant sounds are not the same as sounds that a hearing person experiences since the cochlear implant is in fact brain surgery it destroys the cochlea in the process of implantation teaching recipients to understand the sounds they hear takes years and there is no guarantee they will be able to make sense of the information therefore the cochlear implant is not able to give all deaf people hearing and speech economicjob opportunities during the mid to late th century a study showed that twothirds of american adults with disabilities did not have a job it was also found that around eighty percent of those unemployed had the desire to work employers often said they did not provide adequate accommodations for those with disabilities they were also unsure if they could trust those persons with disabilities to perform requested tasks correctly as result of these problems the americans with disabilities act ada of was ratified this prevented discrimination against those with disabilities in both private and governmental providing needed accommodations on the employer st century efforts around the world china since more individuals with disabilities live in china than any other country in the world special education has become an important area of focus china once had great ideological resources in this field yet the schools for the disabled created in the late nineteenth century were established by western missionaries since the late nineteen hundreds the legislation has expressed its concern and made efforts to encourage the progress of special education in china canada in canada efforts have been made to adopt a bilingualbicultural model of education using american sign language asl as its standard language for instruction it is assumed that this approach will lead to an enhancement in learning expression and achievement in deaf students international laws disability acts australia national and worldwide legislation has focused an increasing amount of attention on the values of inclusion this attitude is geared toward those with disabilities inclusive education attitudes concerning students with disabilities unescos education policy was approved at the salamanca conference in and establishes the privilege to education for all disabled students it has been considered a basic human right despite the fact that disabled students will need adequate accommodations the international focus has been placed on the rights of children as well world leaders have made a commitment to find ways to increase the amount of children who attend school in result the national policies have been impacted by these developments in australia the viewpoint of education has been modeled after those international trends australia has made efforts to see that all of their students are educated moreover the disability discrimination act of has played an important role in support of education for the disabled as well australia has presented itself as a country in great support of human rights this act was implemented with the intent to secure the rights of the disabled additionally the disability discrimination act has three key purposes to discourage discrimination to promote insure the acceptance of the disabled by communities africa south africas constitution and the integrated national disability strategy along with other legislation claims to be one of the most proactive methods in support of the disable yet most of the sentimentality does not exceed policy level and the enforcement of these guidelines has trailed far behind asl training american sign language asl is used both in the united states and in english speaking parts of canada it is considered a language although it is produced with gestures and seen with the eyes since asl does not require the use of voice or the ability to hear it is used by deaf persons sign language is collective worldwide instead it is similar to other languages having different signs in different cultures a resident from great britain does not necessarily understand asl because britain and america have two different sign languages even though both countries primarily speak english and the written language is quite parallel actually asl is more closely related to french sign sharing the from one another yet another misunderstanding is that asl can be directly translated to the english language this however is false when the grammar is compared asl and english are just as different as any two native languages contrary to what has been presumed sign languages do have a specific format they are not just different signs representing a word combined together to create speech as oral languages have a particular format in which the words are presented sign languages has its own format as well just as errors are made in the english language with a slight mispronunciation or mistaken letter arrangement asl can have the same errors with just a slight difference in gestures that are similar this does not mean that grammar rules of oral language is in anyway directly related to that of sign language but the same concept can be taken into account although we can compare the processes of developing asl with that of the spoken english language the difference between the two must be recognized the qualitative factor of asl is phonetic structure of oral languages with relatively few suprasegmental features contrasts with a greater degree of simultaneity in sign languages sign languages have four simultaneously realized parameters hand configuration location movement and orientation hand configuration location and movement are what determine what is being signed a simple combination of words can differ in just location movement or the way in which you hold your hand as you are signing politics equality during the early s membership to various deaf organizations was denied to african americans associations and even some churches prevented african americans from becoming members including the national association of the deaf and the national fraternal society of the deaf there were fewer people to relate to who shared the same ethnic background and many of the caucasian deaf leaders made no attempt to improve the quality of the black deaf community during this time racism was more prevalent and there were perhaps shared views of the blacks by both hearing and deaf white males because of this national black made against deaf women colleges produced more male graduates than female and deaf females were completely excluded or had only limited access to various club affiliations they were also given easier workloads by teachers associations at national and state levels had no or only small amounts of actual participation by women women were often allowed to give their opinions or share their ideas for support of the preservation of sign language and the deaf community but they did not hold any authoritative positions that allowed them to make decisions on behalf of the deaf community even though they had a tough time being heard deaf women still continued to seek involvement in language and cultural preservation they eventually begin to establish their own clubs and organizations in which they expressed their ideas and views on issues concerning the deaf community associations such as the camp fire girls at state schools and the owls at gallaudet college were formed in support of deaf women of caucasian ethnicity preservation of sign language the deaf community made continuous efforts to help preserve the language and promote oral communication the attempt to supplant sign language by the hearing lead to the production of dictionaries and films intended to expose and promote sign language in the oral community as well as the deaf many deaf people spent most of their free time socializing with their deaf peers and joined clubs within the deaf community after graduating from school their efforts continued in the promotion of the preservation of sign language

her second son aron who is disgusted by her literary critic sarah aguiar notes that this incident causes kate to feel remorse for the first time she signs over all her possessions to aron not cal she then commits suicide by taking a lethal dose of morphine archetypes the devil one of the main characteristics of east of eden is the prevalent allegory with the bible and the battle between good and evil in a letter to family friend allen ludden steinbeck states that kate is a total representative of satan as noted by john timmerman steinbeck demonstrates the devil allegory through repeated snakelike imagery used to describe cathy in one instance in the novel samuel hamilton observes that when cathy swallowed her tongue flicked around her lipsthe eyes were flat and the mouth with its small upcurve at the corners was carven giving a serpentine air to cathys demeanor pandora cathy also takes on the that zeus gave pandora a box and commanded her not to open it she ultimately disobeys and when she opens the box she sets loose evil into the world in an academic article from the the explicator rebecca barnes analyzes that cathy is like pandora in that her broken box brings disaster wherever she goes in the novel cathy destroys every life she touches she murders her parents drives her latin teacher to commit suicide shoots her husband poisons her benefactress and sadistically abuses and later blackmails countless men as a prostitute psychoanalysis in stephen georges article the emotional content of cruelty he writes that cathy embodies hatred and fear which he argues are the main motivators behind human cruelty he writes that cathy fears losing control in any way for example she refuses to drink because alcohol brings out her true nature her method of controlling her environment comes in the form of paranoia which is manifested by her desire to manipulate men sexually so that she feels superior to those she manipulates in her essay no sanctuary sarah aguiar writes that cathy s actions are due to a perversion of human virtues such as compassion and love aguiar explains this deficiency is due to cathy s childlike egocentricitythe desperate needto protect herself at all costs steinbeck further comments in his east of eden letters that cathy is in part evil because her life is one of revenge on other people because of a vague feeling of her own lack film

his secondincommand charles lee to lead his advance guard at am on june knyphausen s division began its march from monmouth court house followed at am by cornwallis division lee failed to scout the terrain and told his subordinates that he had no plan of battle other than to act according to circumstances he only began moving forward at am with troops and cannons when lee arrived near the british positions clinton turned back to assist his rear guard with strong forces including the two grenadier battalions after some attacks miscarried lee s division retreated with clinton in pursuit at length lee s withdrawing troops met washington s main body moving forward washington relieved lee of command but apparently relented and allowed lee to cobble together a defensive line with the troops at hand he placed varnum s brigade then under the command of jeremiah olney behind a hedgerow on olney s left farther to the left anthony wayne directed soldiers led by walter stewart and nathaniel ramsey into some woods lee s chief of artillery eleazer oswald placed two cannons on olney s right and two more in support of wayne s troops stewart and ramsey ambushed the st guards

the americans were flushed from the trees and set upon by the th light dragoons in the open stewart was wounded and ramsey wounded and captured as their commands raced to cross a bridge to the west side of the ravine the th light dragoons tried to charge the hedgerow but olney s men repulsed them with a blast of gunfire clinton personally led forward the nd grenadiers and one wing of the st grenadiers calling out charge grenadiers never heed forming case shot from oswald s m but they stormed the hedgerow anyway driving back olney s men during the desperate action washington s chief of artillery henry knox ordered oswald to pull back covered by olney s brigade he managed to get across the bridge without losing any guns the action was so chaotic that a party of grenadiers found themselves amid olney s brigade but the americans were so focused on getting away that they paid no attention to their enemies sometime during the action at the hedgerow a british officer saw monckton fall struck by grape shot he detailed some of his soldiers to retrieve his commander but apparently this was not done after the battle some men of the st pennsylvania regiment found monckton the mortally wounded officer was taken to the old tennent church where he died the same day oddly clinton did not mention monckton in his report of the battle however hessian adjutant general carl leopold

life his duty and devotion to his king and country this memorial erected by samuel fryer whose father a subject of great britain sleeps in an unknown grave because he was found by men of the st pennsylvania a legend grew up that monckton was killed while attacking that regiment late in the battle it was supposed that they not only recovered his body but the colors of his regiment in fact the grenadier battalions carried no colors and monckton fell around noon in one account monckton s mortal wounding and the loss of the colors came late in the day at the hands of anthony wayne s troops in front of washington s main position in another account monckton exhorted his men before the fatal attack saying on to the day meanwhile on the american side wayne urged his soldiers steady steady boys

will not kiss him again until he has left meanwhile elsewhere in the city a man has robbed a bank and shot a teller he escapes in his car which he leaves parked near the theater and proceeds to try to blend into the group of actors arriving for rehearsal the director is running through a scene again and again until they get it right and he instructs odette to repeat her entrance from off stage as she enters the stage to begin singing a shot rings out and she fallen to the floor dead the bank robber is seen climbing into the catwalk of the theater the police are summoned and find him but he swears that he does not know odette and he did not kill her he is arrested for odette s murder as paul leaves the theater he finds a gun exactly like his tossed into a fire bucket full of water and immediately knows that his wife committed for a dinner party she is giving that night paul asks her where she has been all day and if she knew what happened to at the theater she replied that she did he asked he if she lost anything while she was out and shows her the gun with a glassy stare she tells him i never travel with firearms at the dinner party the topic of crimes of passion comes up and francoise defends a woman s right to commit a crime of passion because the parties who have wronged her have killed her first after the dinner he confronts her and calls her a fiend she tells him that she intends not to say anything and at first he threatens to turn her in to the police instead he tells francoise that he will stay and keep her secret to watch her fall apart he moves out of the bedroom two months pass and paul notes in his diary that francoise still has not turned herself in but instead exhibits a cool unemotional exterior him and travel odette s dog is brought to paul while they are at dinner and paul decides to keep him since he has no home the dog s presence makes francoise uneasy francoise reads paul s diary and in the last entry he says that even if she travels her feelings of guilt will follow her the last line says that he is unable to feel sorry for her francoise puts a line though that last line and underneath writes i am staying francoise unexpectedly shows up at a party paul is throwing for the th performance of his play the party is being held on the stage he had just finished telling everyone that she was nt coming because she was feeling unwell the rest if the crowd seems pleased to see her but when she sits and the table offers a toast to her paul remains silent as she sits at the table a young actor who is drunk flirts with her and forces her out into the dance floor for a dance leaves the room paul notes in his diary that francoise is rapidly becoming weighed down by her guilt by now she is looking very ill and tired but refuses to allow paul to call a doctor for her he receives a letter that at first he refuses to read to her when she demands he read it she finds out that the bank robber has been convicted of odette s murder and sentenced to death francoise goes to her friend the district attorney and asks for permission to see the castelli madison condemned man he is hostile to her when she is let into his cell she confesses to him that she murdered odette he tells her that she should go away and to never mention it again he would have been executed for killing the bank teller anyway he sees it as a joke the authorities are going to execute him for a crime he truly did not commit it is six month later and paul tells francoise that she is the only wo nt confess she will continue to die inside at dinner that night she sees a paper where castelli confessed to killing odette just before being hanged while she is unconscious her mind plays though all of the events of the past six months when she wakes up paul tells her that she is the only person who can help herself after a moment s pause she picks up the phone and makes an appointment to see the attorney general to turn herself in for the murder paul says that he will stand by her throughout her upcoming ordeal she declines his offer but asks that he comes to visit her in jail occasionally he helps her dress and once more she tells him to remain as she leaves to make her way to confess to the murder as she walks along paul is walking a distance behind her a boy runs into the street after a ball he falls as a truck is bearing down on him francoise jumps into the street to doctor gives paul the good news that while francoise will live she has lost her memory of her entire life and how to do basic functions such as feeding herself their names and her entire life history this includes her murder and subsequent guilt the final scene shows that paul has taken francoise to the south of france to recuperate she is repeating simple words such as

kong people were disloyal to china and still harboured a colonial mentality kong was responding to the release of a survey finding that hong kong people feel increasingly separate from and superior to

since the transfer of sovereignty in after chung published his results two probeijing newspapers in hong kong wen wei po and ta kung pao alleged that chung was a political fraudster with evil intentions to incite people to deny they are chinese one probeijing columnist asked whether chung s actions are subversive and whether his scholarship is a slave of political bribery chung rejected the charges of bias and released a statement that the cultural revolutionstyle curses and defamations are not conducive to the building of chinese national identity among hong kong people another professor targeted was dixon sing of hong kong university of science and technology in december probeijing media said he was an antichina western trained vicious dog because he gave interviews to falun gong media but his real issue may have been to support the five constituencies released to ask the university to fire him the communist party officials see both professors as a connection between prodemocracy movements and the way hk people see themselves the students union have since come out to protect professor sing in a public statement about the one country two systems being violated they believe that regardless of proestablishment or prodemocratic views the views need to be respected in order for academic freedom to exist influx of birth tourism on january a protest was

hongkongers keep discriminating against mainlanders mainland chinese in that way then we wo nt provide the and asked can hongkongers still survive go to seek help from your british daddy after exposure by the media however kong qingdong claimed that he only made the remarks for the hong kong peoples benefit and that he only called some people dogs according to ming pao kong claimed that normal people educated people should all understand what he meant and that he thinks every place has some people who are dogs some beijing people are dogs if someone really says that all hong kong people are dogs then i agree that person should apologize since the only party claiming that hong kong people are dogs is southern daily i demand that they apologize to both the hong kong people and

executives position henry tang and leung chunying have come out to complain saying professor kong qingdong needs to be responsible for his own statement and that hong kong citizens are not dogs he emphasized this is how hong kong citizens deal with each other in a free society leung chunying responded by saying that kong s statement did not actually reflect the views of mainland chinese he

 glencairn s rising was a royalist uprising in in scotland against the protectorate of oliver cromwell it was led by william cunningham th earl of glencairn who was given command of the royalist forces in scotland by charles ii he convened a meeting of scottish notables such as blackadder of tullyallan who then mustered their vassals and supporters to form a small army the governor of stirling castle colonel kidd sallied out to suppress this force but was defeated by them at aberfoyle glencairn s forces also fought against cromwell at the battle of tullich in the royalist army continued to grow but dissension developed when command was reassigned from glencairn to john middleton st earl of middleton this was largely due to petty disputes between glencairn s and middleton s respective forces the former being mainly scottish lowlanders and the latter being mainly scottish highlanders this eventually led to a duel between one of middleton s officers sir george munro and glencairn himself they duelled was placed under arrest by the orders of middleton and his sword was taken from him the following day two junior officers from the two camps had a duel of their own in which one was killed and the other was later arrested and hanged john middleton st earl of middleton was later defeated at the battle of dalnaspidal on july and that ended the insurrection notes

culture under his leadership he helped revitalize the institution moving its databases into the digital age work fieldwork in contrast to most cultural anthropologists at the time who conducted their fieldwork in a single community ember s fieldwork in american samoa was explicitly comparative using community variation to test theories about culture change he chose three communities differing in distance from the commercial center to evaluate how commercial involvement affected political change his assessment of samoan kinship was subsequently challenged by derek freeman long before the nowfamous meadfreeman controversy about samoa because ember knew from american samoa he questioned how freeman working in a very different time and in western samoa could doubt meads veracity national institute of mental health at the national institute of mental health embler worked on the universality of the familial incest taboo since all societies prohibit familial incest he decided to focus on crosscultural variation in cousin marriage to try to understand why some societies allowed close cousin marriages while others forbade it after evaluating the various explanatory hypotheses of the time his own empirical research confirmed that much of the variation in cousin marriage could best be explained as an adaptation to the harmful effects of inbreeding crosscultural work as a professor at antioch college and hunter college ember continued his crosscultural work on aspects of kinship and social organization picking up first on topics that murdock was unable to explain such as variation in postmarital residence and unilineal descent traditional theories had focused on economic factors such as which gender contributed most to the economy but finding these explanations lacking in particularly the effects of warfare in the social environment because warfare seemed so central in explaining various aspects of social organization he then turned to research that tested ideas about why societies varied in type and frequency of violence looking at variation in warfare frequency homicide and corporal punishment of children in the anthropological record believing that laws about human nature should hold true among technological complex as well as simpler societies he persuaded political scientist bruce russett to join him and his wife carol r ember in a project to test the theory that democracies do not fight each other although the concepts of democracy and international war had to be transformed to fit the anthropological record the results of their collaborative research were consistent with many studies conducted by political scientists ember later worked with crosscultural psychologists to explore the relationships between aggression and war interdisciplinary research branching out into diverse and interdisciplinary research areas was not unusual for ember indeed he published scholarly articles in archaeology linguistics biological anthropology and of different anthropologists in farflung places and across time could be used to test theories about why cultures varied or were similar and he devoted most of his research career to systematically testing explanations rather than just expounding them his passion for systematic comparative research on challenging questions in all areas of anthropology influenced a generation of younger scholars through his direction of the first summer institute for crosscultural research in his active participation in nsffunded summer institutes in comparative research between and and through the series of publications in comparative methods that resulted from these institutes publications ember is widely known as the coauthor of two major textbooks anthropology with carol r ember and peter n peregrine prenticehall and cultural anthropology with carol r ember prenticehall first published in and now in their th edition he was also editor or coeditor of eight encyclopedias

 the terms macrophage and microphage are used in ecology to describe heterotrophs that consume food in two different ways both macrophages and microphages ingest solid food and may process it through some sort of alimentary canal however a macrophage handles food items singly while a microphage handles food items in bulk without manipulating them individually microphages include suspension feeders and often incidentally digest lowquality food items another category of heterotrophs based on feeding mechanism known as osmotrophs is made up of organisms primarily fungi and bacteria that absorb organism matter directly across their cell membranes the terms macrophage and microphage were originally used in this sense by jordan and hirsch cited in yonge although they have been used in ecology texts as recently as the terms macrophage and microphage today are primarily used to describe two different types of white blood cells in the vertebrate immune system

military and economic aid to the rvn training rvn personnel and sending us advisors to assist in building the infrastructure for the new government also in viet minh forces took over north vietnamese civilians emigrated to south vietnam to avoid persecution from the imminent communist regime at the same time viet minh armed forces from south vietnam were also moving to north vietnam as dictated by the geneva accord however some highranking viet minh cadres secretly remained in the south to follow the local situation closely and created a communist insurgency against the southern government if necessary the most important figure among those was l dun the geneva accord had promised elections to determine the government for a unified vietnam neither the united states government nor ng nh dim s state of vietnam signed anything at the geneva conference with respect to the question of reunification the noncommunist vietnamese delegation objected strenuously to any division of vietnam but lost out when the french accepted the proposal of viet minh delegate phm vn ng who proposed that vietnam eventually be united by elections under the supervision of local commissions the united states countered with what became known as the american plan with the support of south vietnam and the supervision of the united nations but was rejected by the soviet delegation dim took strong measures to secure south vietnam from perceived internal threats especially from the viet cong he eliminated all private militias from the bnh xuyn party and the cao i and ha ho religious sects in october he deposed bo i and proclaimed himself president of the newly established the republic of vietnam after rigging a referendum he repressed political opposition arresting the famous writer nguyn tng tam who committed suicide while awaiting trial in jail dim also acted aggressively to remove communist agents still remaining in the south he formed the cn lao nhn v party mixing individualist philosophy with republican and capitalist elements as well as being anticommunist and procatholic another controversial policy was the strategic hamlet program which aimed to build fortified villages to remove and lock out communists however it was in some ways ineffective as many covert communists were already part of the population and visually indistinguishable it became unpopular as it of life in north vietnam during the s political opposition groups were suppressed those publicly opposing the government were imprisoned in hard labor camps prisoners were abused and beaten atop of laborintensive work forced upon them many died of exhaustion starvation illness who often died without any medical attention or assault by prison guards many middleclass intellectual northerners had been lured into speaking out against ho s communist regime and most of them were later imprisoned in gulags or executed known as the nhn vngiai phm affair the government launched a land reform program which according to steven rosefielde was aimed at exterminating class enemies victims were chosen in an arbitrary manner following a quota of four to five percent torture was used on a wide scale so much so that by ho chi minh became concerned and had it banned to people perished in the campaigns against wealthy farmers and landowners rosefielde discusses much higher estimates that range from to members a northern democratic literary movement called nhn vngiai phm from the names of the two magazines which started the movement based in hanoi occurred in which it attempted to encourage the democratization of the north and the free expression of thought intellectuals were thus lured into criticizing the leadership so they could be arrested later many of whom were sent to hard labor camps gulags following the model of mao tsetung s hundred flowers campaign in china freedom of speech freedom of assembly and other basic civilian freedoms were soon revoked after the government s attempt of destroying the literary movement a puritan personality cult was also established around ho chi minh later extended nationwide after the communist reunification of the vietnam and is reminiscent to other communist nations like north korea and the soviet union in at the third party congress of the vietnamese communist party ostensibly renamed the labor party since l dun arrived from the south and strongly advocated the use of revolutionary warfare to establish communism nationwide despite some elements in the party opposing the use of force l dun won the seat of first secretary of the party as h ch minh was aging l dun virtually took the helm of war from him the first step of his war plan was coordinating a rural uprising in the south ng khi and forming the viet cong or national front for the liberation of south vietnam nlf toward the end of the figurehead leader of the viet cong was nguyn hu th a south vietnamese lawyer but the true leadership was the communist party hierarchy in south vietnam arms supplies and troops came from north vietnam into south vietnam via a system of trails named the ho chi minh trail that branched into laos and cambodia before entering south vietnam at first most foreign aid for north vietnam came from china as l dun distanced vietnam from the revisionist policy of the soviet union under nikita khrushchev however under leonid brezhnev provided north vietnam with heavy weapons such as t tanks artillery mig fighter planes surfacetoair missiles etc meanwhile in south vietnam although ng nh dim personally was respected for his nationalism political stability and policies triggering rapid economic growth he ran a nepotistic and authoritarian government elections were routinely rigged and dim favored of minority roman catholics on many issues believing that catholics were more trustworthy more anticommunist and more impermeable to viet cong infiltration his religious policies sparked protests from the buddhist community after demonstrators were killed on vesak buddha s birthday in when they were protesting a ban on the buddhist flag this incident sparked mass protests calling for religious equality the most famous case was of venerable thch qung c who burned himself to death to protest the images of this event made worldwide headlines and brought extreme embarrassment for dim the tension was not resolved and on august the arvn special forces loyal to his brother and chief adviser ng nh nhu and country leaving a death toll estimated to range into the hundreds in the united states the kennedy administration became worried that the problems of dim s government were undermining the us s anticommunist effort in southeast asia and of dim s increasing resistance and noncooperation with the american government on november with the planning and backing of the cia and the kennedy administration south vietnamese generals led by dng vn minh engineered a coup d tat and overthrew ng nh dim killing both him and his brother nhu see also ng nh cn between and south vietnam was extremely unstable as no government could keep power for long there were more coups often more than one every year the communistrun viet cong expanded their operation and scored some significant military victories during this period in us president lyndon johnson sent troops to south vietnam to secure the country and started to bomb north vietnam assuming that if south vietnam fell to the communists in accordance with the domino theory other us allies such as australia new zealand south korea thailand the philippines and taiwan also sent troops to south vietnam although the americanled troops succeeded in containing the advance of communist forces the presence of foreign troops the widespread bombing over all of vietnam and the social vices that mushroomed around us bases upset the sense of national pride among many vietnamese north and south causing some to become sympathetic to north vietnam and the viet cong in air marshal nguyn cao k and general nguyn vn thiu took power in a coup and presided over a stable junta and promised to hold elections under us pressure in south vietnam managed to conduct a national assembly and presidential election with lt general nguyn vn thiu being elected to the presidency bringing the government to some level of stability however in the viet cong launched a massive and surprise tt offensive known in south vietnam as bin c tn cng v ni dy tt mu thn attacking almost all major cities in south vietnam over the vietnamese new year tt the viet cong and north vietnamese captured the city of hu after which many mass graves were found many of the executed victims had relations with the south vietnamese government or the us or part of social groups that were considered enemies to the viet cong like catholics business owners and intellectuals thm st tt mu thn over the course of the year the viet cong forces were pushed out of all cities in south vietnam and nearly decimated in subsequent major offensives in later years north vietnamese regulars with artillery and tanks took over the fighting in the months following the tet offensive an american unit massacred civilian villagers suspected to be sheltering viet cong guerillas in the hamlet of my lai in central vietnam causing an uproar in protest around the world in h ch minh died leaving wishes that his body be for public display and built the ho chi minh mausoleum on ba nh square in h ni in the style of lenin s mausoleum in moscow although the tt offensive was a catastrophic military defeat for the vit cng it was a stunning political victory as it led many americans to view the war as unwinnable us president richard nixon entered office with a pledge to end the war with honor he normalized us relations with china in and entered into dtente with the ussr nixon thus forged a new strategy to deal with the communist bloc taking advantage of the rift between china and the soviet union a costly war in vietnam begun to appear less effective for the cause of communist containment nixon proposed vietnamization of the war with south vietnamese troops taking charge of the fighting yet still receiving american aid and if necessary air and naval support the new strategy started to show some effects in troops from the army of the republic of vietnam arvn successfully campaign in the arvn made an incursion into southern laos to cut off the ho chi minh trail in operation lam son but the operation failed as most high positions captured by arvn forces were recaptured by north vietnamese artillery in the arvn successfully held the town of an lc against massive attacks from north vietnamese regulars and recaptured the town of qung tr near the demilitarised zone dmz in the center of the country during the easter offensive at the same time nixon was pressing both hanoi and saigon to sign the paris peace agreement of for american military forces to withdraw from vietnam the pressure on hanoi materialized with the christmas bombings in in south vietnam nguyn vn thiu vocally opposed any accord with the communists but was threatened with withdrawal of american aid despite the peace treaty the north violated the treaty and continued the war as had been envisioned by l dun and the south still tried to recapture lost territories in the us was seen as losing a strong backer under us president gerald ford the democraticcontrolled congress became less willing to provide military support to south vietnam in south vietnam also fought and lost the battle of hong sa in defending the islands against the invading chinese over the control of the paracel islands in the south china sea neither north vietnam nor the us were involved in early north vietnamese military led by general vn tin dng launched a massive attack against the central highland province of bun m thut south vietnamese troops had anticipated attack against the neighboring province of pleiku and were caught off guard president nguyn vn thiu ordered the moving of all troops from the central highland to the coastal areas as with shrinking american aid south vietnamese forces could not afford to spread too thin however due to lack of experience and logistics for such a large troop movement in such a short time the whole south vietnamese nd corps got bogged down on narrow mountain roads flooded ambushes along the way the south vietnamese first corps near the dmz was cut off received conflicting orders from saigon on whether to fight or to retreat and eventually collapsed many civilians tried to flee to saigon via land air and sea routes suffering massive casualties along the way in early april south vietnam set up a lastditch defense line at xun lc under commander l minh o north vietnamese troops failed to penetrate the line and had to make a detour which the south vietnamese failed to stop due to lack of troops president nguyn vn thiu resigned power fell to dng vn minh dng vn minh had led the coup against dim in by the mids he had leaned toward the third party thnh phn th ba south vietnamese elites who favored dialogues and cooperation with the north communist infiltrators in the south tried to work out political deals to let dng vn minh ascend to the presidency with the hope that he would prevent although many south vietnamese units were ready to defend saigon and the arvn th corps was still intact in the mekong delta dng vn minh ordered a surrender on april sparing saigon from destruction nevertheless the reputation of the north vietnamese army towards perceived traitors preceded them and hundreds of thousands of south vietnamese fled the country by all means airplanes helicopters ships fishing boats and barges most were picked up by the us seventh fleet in the south china sea or landed in thailand the seaborne refugees came to be known as boat people in a famous case a south vietnamese pilot with his wife and children aboard a small cessna plane landed safely without a tailhook on the aircraft carrier this mass exodus of mostly south vietnamese political refugees continued into the s as refugees fled from persecution political oppression and economic collapse caused by the new communist regime during this period north vietnam was a communist state with a centralized command economy the proletariat a powerful propaganda machine that effectively rallied the people for the party s causes a superb intelligence system that infiltrated south vietnam spies such as phm ngc tho climbed to high military government positions and a severe suppression of political opposition even some decorated veterans and famed communist cadres such as trn c tho nguyn hu ang trn dn hong minh chnh were persecuted during the late s nhn vn giai phm events and the s trial against the antiparty revisionists v n xt li chng ng for speaking their opinions nevertheless this iron grip together with consistent support from the soviet union and china gave north vietnam a militaristic advantage over south vietnam north vietnamese leadership also had a steely determination to fight even when facing massive casualties and destruction at their end the young north vietnamese were idealistically and innocently patriotic ready to give the ultimate sacrifice for the liberation of the south and the unification of the motherland socialist republic from spring offensive were killed or abducted on the road to tuy ha in sources have estimated that south vietnamese died in the reeducation camps out of million sent while somewhere between and were executed rummel estimates that slave labor in the new economic zones caused deaths out of a total million deported the number of vietnamese boat people who died is estimated between and out of the million that fled there were also tens of thousands of suicides after the north vietnamese takeover in vietnam suffered a famine that afflicted millions many north vietnamese soldiers and cadres began to realize that they had been indoctrinated into thinking that the south vietnamese people were utterly poor and exploited by the imperialists and foreign capitalists who treated them like slaves shackling whipping and terrorizing them with dogs contradictory to what they were taught they saw an abundance of food and consumer goods fashionable clothes plenty of books and music things that were expressed by dng thu hng a former northern viet cong fighter turned democracy activist and book author who wrote of this in her book paradise of the blind in vietnam was officially unified and renamed socialist republic of vietnam srvn with its capital in h ni the vietnamese communist party dropped its front name labor party and changed the title of first secretary a term used by china to general secretary used by the soviet union with l dun as general secretary the viet cong was dissolved the party emphasized development of heavy industry and collectivization of agriculture over the next few years private enterprises were seized by the government and their owners were often sent to the new economic zones a communist euphemism for a thick jungle to clear land the farmers were coerced into statecontrolled cooperatives transportation of food and goods between provinces was deemed illegal except by the government within a short period of time vietnam was hit with severe shortage of food and basic area was threatened with famine during the mids inflation reached triple figures in foreign relations the srvn became increasingly aligned with the soviet union by joining the council for mutual economic assistance comecon and signing a friendship pact which was in fact a military alliance with the soviet union tension between vietnam and china mounted along with china s rivalry with the soviet union and conflict erupted with cambodia china s ally vietnam was also subject to trade embargoes by the us and its allies the srvn government implemented a stalinist dictatorship of the proletariat in the south as they did in the north the network of security apparatus cng an literally public security a communist term for the security apparatus controlled every aspect of people s life censorship was strict and ultraconservative with most pre works in the fields of music art and literature being banned all religions had to be reorganized into statecontrolled churches any negative comments toward the party the government the person the tag of phn ng reactionary with consequences ranging from being harassed by police expelled from school or workplace to being sent to prison nevertheless the communist authority failed to suppress the black market where food consumer goods and banned literature could be bought at high prices the security apparatus also failed to stop a nationwide clandestine network of people trying to escape the country in many cases the security officers of some whole districts were bribed and even got involved in organizing the escape schemes these living conditions resulted in an exodus of over a million vietnamese secretly escaping the country either by sea or overland through cambodia for the people fleeing by sea their wooden boats were often not seaworthy were packed with people like sardines and lacked sufficient food and water many were caught or shot at by the vietnamese coast guards many perished at sea due to boats sinking capsizing in storms starvation and thirst another major threat were the pirates in and murdered the boat people in many cases they massacred the whole boat sometimes the women were raped for days before being sold into prostitution the people who crossed cambodia faced equal dangers with mine fields and the khmer rouge and khmer serei guerillas who also robbed raped and killed the refugees some were successful in fleeing the region and landed in numbers in malaysia indonesia the philippines and hong kong only to wind up in united nations refugee camps some famous camps were bidong in malaysia galang in indonesia bataan in the philippines and songkla in thailand some managed to travel as far as northern australia in crowded open boats all foreign missionaries were expelled from vietnam including the most famous salesian priest servant of god andrej majcen from yugoslavia now slovenia too he however remained great friend of vietnamese peoples during whole life while most refugees were resettled to other countries within five years others languished in these camps who could not find asylum were deported back to vietnam communities of vietnamese refugees arrived in the us canada australia france west germany and the uk the refugees often sent relief packages packed with necessities such as medicines and sanitary goods to their relatives in vietnam to help them survive very few would send money as it would be exchanged far below market rates by the vietnamese government despite the defeat of south vietnam there was no serious demobilization of the vietnamese people s army which remained one of asia s largest militaries at over one million troops or sign that warfare was coming to an end anytime soon not only were vietnamese soldiers highly experienced from decades of fighting but also had acquired a large cache of captured us and south vietnamese armaments vietnam soon found itself drawn into conflict with cambodia which had been ruled by the communist khmer rouge since in addition to this sinovietnamese relations deteriorated quite rapidly following mao zedong s death in due to was at odds with china during the s by most trade and material assistance programs between the two countries had ceased and vietnam forbade chinese ships from docking at its ports as the khmer rogue were allies of beijing this further aggravated tensions and following border skirmishes the vpa launched a fullscale armed invasion of cambodia during the first week of given the extreme brutality and mass murders committed by the khmer rouge which had killed or starved at least three million cambodians the international community could only consider the vietnamese invasion a positive development this had the effect however of causing conflict with china and during a visit to the us in february deng xiaoping stated that it may be necessary to teach vietnam a lesson a large chinese force invaded the vietnamese border area but with china still suffering the effects of the cultural revolution the people s liberation army was seriously deficient in training equipment and communications over chinese troops were killed or wounded in three weeks of then in cambodia and had no involvement in the war shortly afterwards they withdrew with beijing proclaiming that the aforementioned lesson had been taught as in any case the fighting caused extensive destruction to vietnam s infrastructure along the border the provietnamese people s republic of kampuchea was created with heng samrin as chairman the vietnamese invasion of cambodia had stopped the genocide of millions of cambodians by the khmer rouge pol pot s khmer rouge allied with noncommunist guerilla forces led by norodom sihanouk and son sann to fight against the vietnamese forces and the new phnom penh regime some highranking officials of the heng samrin regime in the early s resisted vietnamese control resulting in a purge that removed pen sovan prime minister and general secretary of the kampuchean people s revolutionary party the war lasted until when vietnam withdrew its troops and handed the administration of cambodia to the united nations vietnam s third constitution based on that of the ussr was written in the communist party was stated by the and to lead the country in cosmonaut phm tun became the first vietnamese and the first asian to go into space traveling on the soviet soyuz to service the salyut space station during the early s a number of overseas vietnamese organizations were created with the aim of overthrowing the vietnamese communist government through armed struggle most groups attempted to infiltrate vietnam but eventually were eliminated by vietnamese security and armed forces overall the first decade after reunification was not a happy time for the country nonstop warfare consumed large amounts of vietnam s resources both financially and by depleting the labor force of young men the country remained internationally isolated having little contact with nations outside comecon members and faced with a huge hostile neighbor to the north despite repeated overtures to the united states attempts to reestablish diplomatic relation were hampered by the question of missing us soldiers from the war and president ronald reagan s vocal hostility towards the country s principle benefactor in moscow in a dong remarked yes we defeated the united states but now we are a poor undeveloped nation and barely have enough to eat hence the saying that waging war is easy but running a country is hard compounding all this was the complete failure of the five year plan adopted in as vietnam remained one of the world s poorest countries with a percapita gdp of less than usd and almost totally dependent on soviet aid which reached as much as billion usd a year by moscow faced mounting pressure from its warsaw pact allies to reduce outlays to vietnam sovietvietnamese relations were also harmed by the former s wishes to have greater involvement in vietnam s economic development and increased access to military facilities in the vcp held its th national congress in which general secretary le duan stated that the party wishes sternly to criticize itself and our nation s manifold difficulties while aggravated by outside circumstances that could not be helped are nonetheless worsened by the various errors and shortcoming average age of the party leadership noting that there was only one person on the central committee under that year a general purge of the party ranks began to weed out elderly and inefficient cadres and replace them with younger men vo van kiet aged was promoted to head of the state planning commission and year old foreign minister nguyen co thach was elevated to politburo membership more surprising was the removal of general vo nguyen giap considered a national hero from the politburo it was later speculated that he was removed by political rivals this rejuvenation campaign was nonetheless diminished by the fact that the country s three most powerful individuals le duan pham van dong and president truong chinh showed no sign of stepping down any time soon despite their combined age of and clearly failing health all of them visited moscow for medical treatment during although they saw the need for reforms and fighting corruption such change was beyond their ability by this point and showed a clear move towards more market reforms and away from the rigid central planning of the scheme real change would not begin until the second half of the decade when le duan passed away in july succeeded as general secretary by trng chinh however trng was expelled only five months later and replaced by nguyen van linh eight years his junior pham van dong retired as premier in upon their accession the country s new leadership denounced their geriatric predecessors for utterly failing to improve the people s living standards check corruption or instill a more flexible nondogmatic outlook on life during the late s vietnam began tentative market reforms along the model then being adopted by china the basis for these experiments were in the south which had a stronger tradition of trade and commerce the perestroika policies of soviet leader mikhail gorbachev were also a source of motivation although communist governments in eastern europe were collapsing in vietnam was kept comparatively isolated from these events due prodemocracy protests in hanoi were quickly suppressed the fall of the soviet union in caused a thaw in the long hostile sinovietnamese relations as the two nations embraced each other as some of the only surviving communist states soon after the paris agreement on cambodia resolved the conflict in october however vietnam established or reestablished diplomatic and economic relations with most of western europe and several asian countries in february the united states lifted its economic embargo against vietnam and in june the united states and vietnam normalized relations in june a highlevel vietnamese delegation led by prime minister phan vn khi visited the united states and met with their us counterparts including president george w bush this was the first such visit in years although the visit mostly went well a few embarrassing events occurred such as the white house s official website wwwwhitehousegov accidentally depicted the flag of south vietnam in its official announcement of the visit this provoked dismay and hostile comments and corrected the webpage in addition a crowd of hostile protesters gathered outside the white house during phan s meeting with president bush denouncing the vietnamese communist party and waving south vietnamese flags in late a threeperson collective leadership was responsible for governing vietnam this triumvirate consisted of the vcp general secretary nng c mnh april january the prime minister phan vn khi september june and the president trn c lng september june general secretary manh headed up not only the vcp but also the member politburo president luong was chief of state and prime minister khai was head of government the

burned bales was taken into custody later that morning when he told authorities i did it on august a jury at joint base lewismcchord in fort lewis washington sentenced him to life in prison without parole american and international security assistance force isaf authorities apologized for the deaths afghan authorities condemned the act describing it as intentional murder the national assembly of afghanistan passed a resolution demanding a public trial in afghanistan but thenus secretary of defense leon panetta said the soldier would be tried under us military law bales pleaded guilty on june the prosecution not seeking the death penalty at the time of the plea he stated that he did not know why he committed the murders united states authorities concluded that the killings were the act of a single individual on march an afghan parliamentary probe team made up of several members of the national assembly of afghanistan had speculated that up to american soldiers were involved in the killings the team later said they could not confirm claims that multiple soldiers took part in the killings background the surge in southern afghanistan panjwai is the birthplace of the taliban movement and has traditionally been a stronghold of theirs it has been an area of heavy fighting and was the focus of a military surge in which brought a more than twofold increase in airstrikes night raids into afghan homes insurgent casualties and a sixfold increase in special forces operations throughout afghanistan fighting in panjwai and adjacent zhari arghandab and kandahar districts was particularly intense conflict between wholesale destruction of some villages by american forces mass arrests murder of civilians by rogue units and high casualties from improvised explosive devices ieds one of the families targeted in the kandahar shootings had returned to the area in after previously being displaced by the surge fearing the taliban but encouraged by the us government the army and the afghan government they settled near the american military base because they thought it would to be a safe place to live approximately three weeks before the incidents usafghan relations were strained by an incident where copies of the quran were burnt at the bagram air base a couple of months before the shootings us marines were videotaped urinating on dead taliban fighters allegations of

himself in january a jblm soldier murdered a mount rainier national park ranger in two separate incidents unrelated jblm soldiers have been charged with waterboarding their children jorge gonzalez executive director of a veterans resource center near fort lewis said that the kandahar killings offer more proof that the base is dysfunctional this was not a rogue soldier jblm is a rogue base with a severe leadership problem he said in a statement base officials responded saying that the crimes committed by its soldiers were isolated events which do not reflect on the work and dedication of all service members robert h scales a retired us army major general and former commandant of the army war college suggested that infantry personnel in the last ten years for close combat in iraq afghanistan and elsewhere march roadside bombing residents of mokhoyan a village about metres east of camp belamby stated that a bomb had exploded in their vicinity on march destroying an armored vehicle and wounding several us soldiers they recounted that us soldiers afterwards lined many of the male villagers against a wall threatening to get revenge for this incident by killing at least of your people and threatening that you and your children will pay for this one mokhoyan resident told the associated press it looked like they were going to shoot us and i was very afraid american officials from the pentagon declared that they had no evidence that villagers had been lined up against a wall and threatened in mokhoyan us officials refused to confirm or deny that american soldiers were wounded outside the village on march bales lawyer john henry browne later stated that his client was upset explosion on march it is unclear whether the bombing cited by browne was the same as the one described by the villagers incident killings according to official reports bales left combat outpost camp belamby at am local time wearing night vision goggles bales was wearing traditional afghan clothing over his isaf fatigues according to government officials with knowledge of the investigation the killings were carried out in phases with bales returning to base in between an afghan guard reported a soldier returning to base at am and another guard reported a soldier leaving at am bales is believed to have first gone to alkozai about mile north of camp belambay then to najiban called balandi in earlier reports located miles south of the base four people were killed and six wounded in alkozai and people were killed in najiban american sentries at the base heard gunshots in alkozai but did not take action besides attempting to view alkozai from us authorities recognized people killed including nine children four men and three women on march that number was revised to but later reduced back to it was initially reported that five others were injured and that number was eventually increased to six four members of the same family were killed in alkozai according to a yearold boy who was shot in the leg bales woke up his family members before shooting them another witness said she saw the man drag a woman out of her house and repeatedly hit her head against a wall the first victim in najiban appears to have been mohammad dawood according to dawood s brother bales shot dawood in the head but spared dawood s wife and six children after the wife screamed at him eleven members of abdul samad s family were killed in a house in najiban village including his wife four girls between the ages of and four boys between and and two other relatives by their hair and shot them in the mouth at least three of the child victims were killed by a single shot to the head of each their bodies were then set on fire then another civilian mohammad dawoud age was killed in another house in this village witnesses reported that bales was wearing a headlamp andor a spotlight attached to his weapon bales burned some of the victims bodies an act considered desecration under islamic law witnesses said that the eleven corpses from one family were shot in the head stabbed then gathered into one room and set on fire a pile of ashes was found on the floor of one victims house at least one child s body was found partially charred a reporter for the new york times inspected the children s bodies taken to a nearby american military base and reported seeing burns on some of the legs and heads surrender and confession following the events at alkozai and balandi bales him leaving his outpost before the killings and us commanders on base assembled their troops for a head count when it was discovered that the soldier was missing a patrol was dispatched to find the missing soldier but did not find him before he returned to base after the killings he was reportedly taken into custody without incident there were no military operations being conducted in the area at the time of the shootings the surveillance video from the base reportedly shows the soldier walking up to his base covered in a traditional afghan shawl the soldier removes the shawl and lays his weapon on the ground then raises his arms in surrender the video has not been released to the public american investigators suspect that bales may have departed the base before midnight committed the murders in balandi then returned to the base around am bales may have then departed the base at am and committed the murders in alkozai it was apparently the second departure which caused the alert and the commencement of the defense officials upon his return to the base bales said three words i did it and then told individuals what happened later he retained a lawyer and refused to speak further with investigators the united states flew bales out of afghanistan to kuwait on march then to the united states disciplinary barracks at fort leavenworth in kansas on march a pentagon spokesman said the move was done because of a legal recommendation the number of assailants according to us authorities a single soldier staff sergeant robert bales conducted the attack the us military showed afghan authorities the footage from the surveillance video at the base as proof that there was only one perpetrator of the shootings according to reuters some neighbors and relatives of the dead saw a group of us soldiers arrive at their village at about am enter homes and open fire they were all drunk and shooting all over the place said neighbor agha lala according to the new york times one villagers described seeing a number of soldiers while some other afghan residents described seeing only one gunman one motherofsix whose husband was killed during the incident reported involvement of a large number of people when they shot dead my husband i tried to drag him into the house i saw more than people when i looked out the house the americans pointed their guns at me and threatened me telling me not to leave the house or they d kill me an eightyearold girl named noorbinak whose father was killed reported that one man entered the room and the others were standing in the yard holding lights the brother of another victim claimed his nephews and nieces had seen numerous soldiers with headlamps and lighted guns some elected officials said that they believed the attack was planned claiming that one soldier could not have carried out such an act without help in response afghan president hamid karzai appointed general sher mohammad karimi to investigate the claims on march an the national assembly of afghanistan announced that up to american soldiers were involved in the killings with support from two helicopters they had spent two days in the province on site interviewing the survivors and collecting evidence one of the members of the probe team hamizai lali said we closely examined the site of the incident talked to the families who lost their beloved ones the injured people and tribal elders the villages are one and a half kilometre from the american military base we are convinced that one soldier can not kill so many people in two villages within one hour the victims have been killed by the two groups lali asked the afghan government the united nations and the international community to ensure the perpetrators were punished in afghanistan while visiting one of the affected villages hamid karzai pointed to one of the villagers and said in his family in four rooms people were killed children and women were killed and then they were all brought together in one room can not do however the team later said they could not confirm that multiple soldiers took part in the killings financial payments to victims families on march at the office of the governor of kandahar province the united states gave the equivalent of us to the victims families allocated as for each person killed and for each person injured the official who disbursed payments to the families said the money was not compensation but rather the us government s offering to help the victims and their families a member of the kandahar provincial council described the payments as assistance but not as the kind of legal compensation that would absolve the accused robert bales the army alleged that robert bales a yearold united states army staff sergeant stationed at camp belambay was the only person responsible for the shootings according to defense secretary leon panetta immediately after being captured bales acknowledged the killings and told individuals what happened he then asked for an attorney and to officials bales may have been having marital problems and the investigation of the shootings is looking into the possibility that an email about marriage problems might have provoked bales his wife wrote on her blog about her disappointment after he was passed over for a promotion to sergeant first class e the family was also struggling with finances and three days before the shootings bales wife put their home up for sale as they had fallen behind with mortgage payments on march the us government charged bales with counts of murder six counts of attempted murder and six counts of assault on march american investigators said they believe bales split the killings in the villages of balandi and alkozai into two attacks returning to camp belamby after the first attack before slipping out again an hour later no other us military personnel were disciplined for having any role in the incident on august bales pled guilty at his general courtmartial as an act of cowardice the plea spared bales from the death penalty on august bales was sentenced to life in prison without parole by the court he was also demoted to private e the lowest possible rank dishonorably discharged and ordered to forfeit all pay and allowances a commanding general overseeing the courtmartial has the option of reducing the sentence to life with the possibility of parole afghan villagers and the families of bales victims were upset by the decision saying he deserved death abdul samad a year old farmer who lost family members eight of whom were children spoke about the incident i do nt know why they killed them our government told us to come back to the village and then they let the americans kill us one grieving mother holding a dead baby in her arms said they killed a child was this child the taliban believe me i have nt seen a yearold member of the i do nt want money i do nt want a trip to mecca i do nt want a house i want nothing but what i absolutely want is the punishment of the americans this is my demand my demand my demand and my

the problem of civilian casualties at the hands of nato forces has been going on for too long it is by all means the end of the rope here a spokesperson for the afghan interior ministry condemned the act in the strongest possible terms afghan politicians wanted bales to face an afghan court the national assembly of afghanistan insisted that the us soldier be put on public trial in afghanistan we seriously demand and expect that the government of the united states punish the culprits and try them in a public trial before the people of afghanistan it also condemned the killings as brutal and inhuman and declared that people are running out of patience over the ignorance of foreign forces abdul rahim ayobi a member of parliament from kandahar the american soldiers are out of the control of their generals kamal safai a member from kunduz said that while it was the act of a single man the public reaction will blame the government of america not the soldier reaction from us and nato american and isaf forces apologized and promised a full investigation with secretary of defense leon panetta stating that the soldier will be brought to justice and be held accountable and that the death penalty could be a consideration us president barack obama called the incident absolutely tragic and heartbreaking but noted that he was proud generally of what us troops have accomplished in afghanistan obama said the incident did not represent the exceptional character of the american military and the respect that the united states had for the people of afghanistan on march he said the united states takes this as seriously as if it were our own citizens and our own children who were murdered were heartbroken over the loss of innocent life the killing of innocent civilians reporter asking whether the killings could be likened to the my lai massacre of civilians by us forces in south vietnam obama replied it s not comparable it appeared you had a lone gunman who acted on his own general john r allen commander of the isaf issued an apology as well adrian bradshaw the deputy commander of the nato forces in afghanistan apologized i wish to convey my profound regrets and dismay i can not explain the motivation behind such callous acts but they were in no way part of authorised isaf military activity a rapid and thorough inquiry was promised us officials said the killings would not affect their strategies in the area reaction from the taliban the taliban said in a statement on its website that sickminded american savages committed the bloodsoaked and inhumane crime the militant group promised the families of the victims that it would take revenge for every single martyr the taliban also accused afghan security officials of being complicit in the attack the militant deadly rampage on march the taliban launched an attack on an afghan government delegation which was visiting the site of the killings killing one government soldier and injuring three see also list of

 in vibrational spectroscopy an overtone band is the spectral band that occurs in a vibrational spectrum of a molecule when the molecule makes a transition from the ground state v to the second excited state v where v is the vibrational quantum number that one gets after solving the schrdinger equation for the molecule under consideration it takes only nonnegative integer values generally in order to study the vibrational spectra of molecules the vibration of the chemical bonds is assumed to be simple harmonicthus the parabolic simple harmonic potential is used in the schrdinger equation to solve for the vibrational energy eigenstates when the schrdinger equation is solved one gets the functional forms of the vibrational energy eigenstates these energy states are found to be quantised meaning they can assume only some discrete values of energy when electromagnetic radiation is shined on a sample of a molecule the molecules can absorb energy from the electromagnetic radiation and change their vibrational energy state however the molecules can absorb energy from radiation only in the electric dipole moment of the molecule when it is vibrating this change in the electric dipole moment of the molecule leads to the transition dipole moment of the molecule for transition from the lower to higher energy state being nonzero which is an essential condition for any transition process change to take place in the vibrational state of the molecule as is the law of nature explained thoroughly in quantum mechanics it has been found that when the bonds are considered vibrating simpleharmonically the transition dipole moment is nonzero only for the transition where v hence for the ideal nonexistent simpleharmonically vibrating bond there can never be any overtone observed in the vibrational spectrum but real molecules do not vibrate simpleharmonically the potential function vibration is not parabolic simpleharmonic potential but is better approximated by the morse potential when schrdinger equation is solved for the molecule under consideration with morse potential as the potential function one gets the functional forms of the vibrational energy eigenstates with corresponding to transitions from various energy levels to various other energy levels the transition dipole moment does not become zero for the transitions where v etc thus for real molecules the allowed transitions are those for which v etc the overtone band observed in the ir spectrum is one such transition with v from v to v energy state however it has been experimentally found that the intensity of the overtone band is very low compared to the fundamental band

 in computer programming package principles are a way of organizing classes in larger systems to make them more organized and manageable they help us understand which classes should go into which packages called package cohesion and how these packages should relate with one another called package coupling package principles also includes software package metrics which help us quantify the dependency structure we design thereby giving us different or more precise insights into the overall structure of our classes and packages overview principles of package cohesion reuserelease equivalence principle rep rep essentially means that the package must be created with reusable classes either all of the classes inside the package are reusable or none of them are the classes must also be of the same family we do nt want to include classes that are unrelated to the purpose of the package if we construct a package as a family of reusable classes we can more closely guarantee a focused reusable package commonreuse principle to be reused together belong in the same package together it is a way of helping us decide which classes belong in which package we also want to keep in mind that when we depend on a package we want to make sure that the classes are inseparable and interdependent which is also handy when culling out classes that do or do nt belong commonclosure principle ccp ccp states that the package should not have more than one reason to change if change were to happen in an application dependent on a number of packages ideally we only want changes to occur in one package rather than in a number of them this helps us determine classes that are likely to change and package them together for the same reasons if the classes are tightly coupled put them in the same package principles of package coupling acyclic dependencies principle adp in a development cycle with multiple developers cooperation and integration needs to happen can be no cycles in the dependency structure and that when an incremental release is made the other developers can adopt and build upon it stabledependencies principle sdp designs by nature of the environments they are used in or by are changing so we need to design our packages to be able to change as well the sdp states that any packages we want to be volatile should not be depended on by a package that is difficult to change stableabstractions principle sap the sap says that a stable package should also be abstract so that its stability does not prevent it from being extended it also states that an instable package should be concrete since its instability allows the concrete code within it to be easily changed

the acrobatic cast impressively manage to tumble dance and sing at the same time and gave a special nod to gregory haney in his review of the broadway production charles isherwood of the new york times wrote the cast of this alternately snarky and sentimental show about rival high school cheer squads often seems to be in constant motion tumbling and flipping across the stage in elaborate

 recorded in malibu br the boat studio silverlake br south beach studios miami and motorbass studio paris label matador sun is the ninth studio album by american musician cat power her first album of alloriginal material since s the greatest it was released on september in the united kingdom and in the united states on september via matador records the album was issued in a variety of formats including a limited edition deluxe lp containing a vinyl of bonus tracks the album s lead single ruin was released for free download at matador record s store on june a music video for album opener cherokee directed by marshall has recently been released while an ambient remix of the song by nicolas jaar is available to download from cat power s official website the song was premired on npr s all songs considered on as going in yet another direction a lot more drive a lot more electronics drum machines synthsit s very bold on april cat power performed the previously unreleased track bully on the premier episode of the fortysecond series of later with jools holland immediately following the broadcast a new version of the album containing bully as a bonus track was made available for download through itunes background and recording work on the album initially began soon after the release of the greatest with marshall announcing the album s title as far back as in an interview with the new york times where she also claimed that the entire album had already been written marshall decided to finance the recording of sun herself following financial difficulties arising from the cancellation of a lengthy tour in due to her hospitalisation she was later declared bankrupt claiming i had my house in foreclosure and i had nt paid taxes in guessing me and wondering what i was going to do with the advance for this album i said i m going to fucking pay for this shit myself i knew that d be the only way i could control things so i cashed out my retirement fund recording began sometime in with marshall building a studio in her malibu home to record and produce new songs herself however much of the material recorded up to this point was later abandoned when marshall decided it was too painful and personal to put out stating i was writing all these really slow guitar songs and my friend said this is like depressing old cat power which made me feel like i got shot i did nt work for eight months after that progress on the album was delayed again with the recording and release of her second covers album jukebox in and later by her relationship with giovanni ribisi following the tour in support of studio in silverlake california where she began work on newly written electronic material with marshall claiming i had no fucking idea what to do but i knew i was not going to even look at a piano or touch a guitar so i started out with a weird synthesizer eventually i had these skeletons of songs but then i felt like a failure because i thought this is not fucking good i do nt know what i m doing and i did nt know what i was doing i had lyrics and a beat and notes but i did nt have anything else it sounded like a naked shivering alien this period of inactivity placed a strain on marshall s relationship with her label matador who concerned by the lack of progress began pressuring marshall to work with a producer marshallwho had nt worked with a producer since ed douglas recorded both dear sir and myra lee on the same day need a producer is like telling someone that they need a nose job it activates something in you that makes you feel like a loser it was around this time that marshall regrouped at her home in malibu with members of her backing band the dirty delta blues to start preparation for a tour in the beginning of rehearsing many of the skeletal new compositions she had written the band would go on to perform ten previously unreleased songs over the course of the tour including cherokee ruin real life and human being as well as another six that would later be excluded from the album bully brave liar horizon let me go monster and woman of my word hoping to rerecord these songs with the band following completion of the tour these sessions according to marshall did nt work out the way she hoped noting that ruin is the only song on the album to feature contributions from the dirty delta blues band production for the album continued at the instrumentation from the aborted dirty blues band sessions after hearing a song from the beastie boys album hot sauce committee part two on the radio she contacted that album s mixer cassius member philippe zdar in the hope of a potential collaboration unable to pay zdar for his mixing work until the album was finalised and presented to matador for release she transferred her work to zdar s recording studio in francewhere he worked pro bonountil sessions for the album finally concluded in april critical reception the album received generally positive reviews from music critics upon its release at metacritic which assigns a normalized rating out of to reviews from mainstream critics the album received an average score of based on reviews which indicates generally favorable reviews allmusic editor heather phares in a very positive review commented that the album s remarkably spare production aesthetic sounds all the more striking coming after the greatest s lushness and said that marshall s willingness and ability sounds is nt such a far cry from the more sonically adventurous moments on moon pix and especially you are free she s just expanding on that instinct and adding a more hopeful songwriting bent magnet commented that this is easily her fullestsounding most animated record to date awarding the album stars out of similarly drowned in sound reviewer hayley avron referred to sun as the most rounded and accomplished album of cat power s career elaborating that it seemed that she may have reached a creative peak with the greatest which signified a definitive leap in her musical evolution that wheel kept on turning though and sun marks an even bolder step forward the songs sound light and layered with space and sound and is rich with an air of experimentation with none of the pitfalls of amateurism that often accompany such forays into musical exploration rolling stone one of the most emotionally intense songwriters around but with sun she has made her riskiest most vital album not to mention one of her greatest melissa maerz of entertainment weekly stated that marshall has never sounded more confident or in control than she does on sun awarding the album a grade of a james skinner of bbc music gave the album a positive review noting that if there is nothing here as instantly transfixing as some of her past work sun comes alive on closer listening revealing myriad depths and unexpected vocal turns consequence of sound editor sarah grant called sun a passionate pop album of electronic music filtered through a singersongwriter s soul while the fly reviewer sophie thomsett said that the album has transformation and catharsis seeping through every note before summarising that at its peak sun reaches greatness specifically with both manhattan and the minute opus nothin but best material she s ever penned with both writers awarding the album out of stars stephen deusner of paste said that the album was absolutely fascinating in its humanity and compassion awarding the album out of matthew foster of the quietus in a positive review said that sun is about as cathartic as pop gets and described the album as the light at the end of one hell of a tunnel a record brimming with an assurance and playfulness anna wilson of clash rated it six out of ten and said the album was a robust respectable detour but will leave some fans pining for the smoky chanteuse of old andy gill of the independent commented on marshall s change in musical direction saying that she abandoned her soul charm for something much less appealing while claiming that the overdubbing process turns tracks like nothin but time into trudges awarding the album stars out of austin trunick said that the album is nt likely to land among the singersongwriter s best records but it s clear however that her heart went into it rating the album out of accolades the album was included in several yearend lists by music critics and publications rolling stone magazine in their list of the best albums of ranked it at sixteenth place writing the idea of the brilliantly morose chan marshall making a dancerock record is almost absurd yet the groovepowered sun is a perfect fit the av club placed the album at number twentytwo on their list of the best albums of billboard also placed the album at number nine in their list of the best albums of the la times

 aaron helbing todd helbing tom green anna popplewell enisha brewster osric chau kat de lieva daniel cudmore mike dopud masam holden ayelet zurer iain belcher lastaired halo forward unto dawn is an american military science fiction action film set in the universe of the halo franchise a comingofage story forward unto dawn follows a cadet thomas lasky at a twentysixth century military training academy as it is attacked by the covenant an alliance of alien zealots lasky is unsure of his future within the military but feels pressured to follow in the footsteps of his mother and brother lasky and his surviving squad mates are rescued by the master chief and after the death of his romantic interest chyler silva lasky is inspired by the chief to take initiative and aids him in saving the remaining cadets forward unto dawn received a streamy award and several producing and filming of it the series also won a motion picture sound editors golden reel award for sound editing reviewers were impressed by the special effects and actionpacked second act but found that the plot was too slow in the first half and most of the characters were underdeveloped the series was also nominated for a primetime emmy award for main title design development after the success of previous liveaction promotional shorts landfall and the life industries the studio in charge of development for the halo franchise wanted to use a live action series to appeal to an audience of people unfamiliar with the halo games the director of franchise business management at industries matt mcclosky explained the intended audience by saying that you see something that looks like a video game you re going to get the same crowd you always get the liveaction format was also chosen for its ability to better develop thomas lasky to the halo universe before his role in the video game halo the developers wanted a protagonist with more emotion than master chief whose face is never seen to not only convey an understanding of the universe but to better engage unfamiliar viewers microsoft considers the series the next step between advertising material and a full length film after the failure of a previous effort and aimed to produce a standalone series that could be enjoyed without necessarily playing the games the budget for the series was almost usd million microsoft s largest investment in a liveaction promotion director stewart hendler said we re either the bestfunded web series of all time a sort of midroad healthy tv pilot or a superlowbudget movie when the idea of directing a video game based web series was pitched to hendler he declined saying he was not interested in video game adaptions unless the subject was halo hendler was already a fan of games potential writers were interviewed by industries and some were selected to write a draft of a script aaron and todd helbing wrote a pitch set on harvest the first planet to be attacked by the covenant see halo contact harvest although industries decided not to use it the helbing brothers script was the most complete and demonstrated the best understanding of the halo universe so they were chosen to write forward unto dawn the final plot was developed by industries frank oconnor and the helbings with the intention of introducing a new character to tiein to halo which their harvest script did not and to explore the leastwellknown part of the halo universe in addition to providing input on the script industries had a representative on set at all times to ensure that the series did not break canon shooting and special effects the series forests around vancouver at simon fraser university and at additional stages in burnaby the herzog and company production team was in vancouver for three months with set design by legacy effects the same company that worked on the previous shorts the warthog a wd offroad vehicle with a mounted minigun that appears in forward unto dawn is the same one that was produced by weta workshop and used in landfall stunt driver johnathon kralt found that the prop handles the roads extremely well for something that size and that height and the fourwheel steering was an advantage for drifting many chase shots were made using a mercedesbenz ml pursuit vehicle with a camera boom mounted to the roof another rig involved towing the warthog on a low trailer so that cameras could focus on an actor while the vehicle was being driven the visual effects supervisor john sullivan hired arc productions to create just under shots with computer generated imagery between a quarter and a third of appear are all completely computer generated as is the academy s space elevator weapons muzzle flashes and a few shots of master chief hendler felt that the visual effects were the area that needed particular focus and spent a much larger percentage of the budget on the master chief costume and computer generated imagery than is normal for a production one scene involves a covenant elite stalking the cadets in the armoury the geometry of the elite already exists for the halo video games and was used to accelerate the creation of a d model in mental ray the outdoor attack on the academy was filmed at simon fraser university and required photogrammetric reconstruction and laser measurement to add the aliens and weapons lighting effects in a convincing manner a later scene in the forest was too complex to use the same techniques lacking the geometric shapes of the university campus instead arc visual effects supervisor terry bradley scattered leds on the set by measuring the distance between leds the studio could model the area add the weapons fire the shattering of the pink needles fired by the covenant was rendered in houdini as the shots hit concrete and master chief s armour the opening sequences of each episode show cortana an artificial intelligence aboard the spaceship forward unto dawn as she malfunctions the five sequences were entirely computer generated by polynoid the animation team of blacklist a production company setting forward unto dawn takes place on a fictional planet cirnicusiv one of many that humans have colonized outside of the solar system the protagonist thomas lasky is aboard a spaceship named infinity in forward unto dawn portrays his memory of the events on circninusiv in when he is a cadet at the corbulo academy a training facility for the children of highranking unsc officers the unsc is training the cadets for war with insurrectionists on various colony planets a covenant army attacks the academy causing confusion and unto dawn the covenant are a theocratic collection of alien species that are religiously offended by humanity and seek to eradicate it the events portrayed in forward unto dawn are some of the earliest encounters with the covenant and the characters other than master chief were unaware of their existence casting and characters the production team was responsible for casting but microsoft maintained a final say the decision to use alex puccinelli instead of steve downes the previous voice artist of master chief was approved by microsoft the actors playing the cadets attended a boot camp before shooting to raise their fitness and accustom them to assault courses and rifle drills in their armour costumes cast members drove themselves to overexertion in the training causing some to vomit which they saw as a bonding experience tom green plays the protagonist thomas lasky a cadet at corbulo academy and ty olsson plays the adult rendition lasky is ambivalent about his role in the military considering diplomacy a better his mother is a colonel and his brother cadmon played by max carver was an odst orbital drop shock troopers a special forces unit in the halo universe but thomas is uninterested in becoming an officer green portrayed lasky as a regular teenager unsure of his future as research for the role green was required to watch the previous shorts and read the halo encyclopedia that industries uses to preserve the halo canon executive producer josh feldman considers lasky an important character in the halo universe beyond just forward unto dawn and halo daniel cudmore was cast to play the role of master chief largely due to his height and physique the director stewart hendler wanted to contrast the size of master chief to that of the teenage cadets cudmore is centimetres tall whereas the actors playing the cadets were deliberately chosen accurately portray master chief cudmore watched the landfall shorts by neill blomkamp and read the halo novels for the history of the character having already played the games cudmore expressed interest in the history of master chief the character s view on war and his role as a soldier as he was only required to portray a utilitarian character in the series cudmore thinks the character is torn between aiding the cadets and completing his mission but master chief s confidence and actions inspire the cadets legacy effects took a body scan of cudmore then overlaid a d model provided by microsoft and edited it to get proportions correct a prototype was d printed and then used to make moulds for the final suit the majority of the suit is rubber over a foam bodysuit similar to a wetsuit with a fibreglass helmet cudmore compared wearing it to walking through water although he had to perform stunts in the suit as it was made only for his body after they were shot to ensure that they were deliberate but without appearing robotic trying to make his movements a little larger than life but still with a sense of humanity to them both hendler and frank oconnor praised cudmore not just for his physique but for moving in a fluid manner in the cumbersome suit anna popplewell plays chyler silva a cadet who contrary to lasky s beliefs is a full supporter of the war against the insurrectionists popplewell portrays silva as a competent cadet who has been hardened by her childhood surrounded by insurrectionist violence she had a romantic connection with lasky that was interrupted by the covenant attack popplewell was new to the halo series when cast for the role but thinks that the characters and aesthetic of the series have the potential to draw in a new audience other characters include cadets april orenski a senior cadet and squad leader played by enisha brewster junjie chen played by osric chau who is the only cadet without through his own achievements dimah tchakova played by kat de lieva walter vickers played by iain belcher and michael sullivan played by masam holden episodes release on april microsoft studios announced that forward unto dawn would play on machinima prime and halo waypoint a marketing website for the halo

content media corporation announced that they had international distribution rights for forward unto dawn for television mcfarlane toys produced units of a collectible statue to tiein with forward unto dawn in december the statue is a thirtysix centimetre tall model of master chief fighting a hunter as depicted in forward unto dawn on november to coincide with the release of halo mega bloks released a model of the unsc spaceship forward unto dawn the model is approximately one metre long and has scenes from both the video game and the web series critical reaction reviewers were divided on what standard to the budget was beyond that of other web series but not on par with a film ign reviewer jesse schedeen considered the cadets other than lasky and silva to be readymade cannon fodder having received minimal development this detracted from the quality of the third episode as a betrayal by cadet tchakova had little impact due to her shallow development however schedeen did appreciate green s acting in the last episode noting that silva s death scene was handled very well particularly as it forced tom green to shed his calm exterior and react much more emotionally in his later review of the bluray schedeen complimented the audio and video quality as well as the inclusion of many vignettes documentary featurettes and commentaries james plath of movie metropolis also found the characters lacking in the first half but noted that in the second half the characters of lasky and silva actually move beyond the clichs and pick up a personality along the way plath was impressed by the soundtrack complimented the special effects saying the cgi work is enhanced by high definition not exposed by it overall however he thought that despite the action being exciting the pedestrian firsthalf and only adequate acting would prevent forward unto dawn appealing to an audience beyond existing gamers official xbox magazine s reviewer edwin evans appreciated the direction of the series stewart hendler s welljudged editing keeps the script from sinking under the weight of its own melodrama and his closeups never overstay their welcome hiding the weaknesses of the inexperienced but talented cast he also echoed plath s thoughts on the slow firsthalf and exciting second half awards and nominations

 dinosporin is a macromolecular highly resistant organic compound which forms or partly forms the enclosing wall of fossilizable organicwalled dinoflagellate cysts composition the walls of organicwalled dinocysts are composed of the resistant biopolymer called dinosporin this organic compound has similarities to sporopollenin but is unique to dinoflagellates resistant biopolymers are nonhydrolyzable and fossilizable macromolecular organic compounds present in many microalgal cell walls and fossil palynomorphs thus far only the motile stage of gymnodinium catenatum has been shown to produce the highly aliphatic biopolymer algaenan dinosporin has been shown to be a significantly different biopolymer from algaenan which demonstrates that dinoflagellates are able to produce a completely different biomacromolecule for their resting cysts previous descriptions of dinosporin having similar properties to sporopollenin were based on both compounds resistance to hydrolysis and high preservation potential however further research has instead shown that dinosporin is compositionally distinct despite the clear distinction between dinosporin and other resistant biopolymer groups very little is known about the actual structure of dinosporin a recent lingulodinium polyedrum does not contain significant amounts of long chain aliphatics nor is it primarily aromatic but that it is a highly crosslinked carbohydratebased polymer furthermore dinosporin may be taxon specific as species within the same genus exhibited different compositions so that dinosporin may be more accurately thought of as a suite of related but chemically distinguishable biopolymers studies of dinosporin composition and structure are complicated by the fact that the cysts have to either have the cell contents effectively removed cysts generated in culture or be individually picked cysts from sediments in order to ensure sample purity the culturederived cysts risk condensation of the cell content and modification of the cyst wall while the cysts picked from sediment are time consuming to acquire and may have been altered by postmortem processes for example the macromolecular composition of the fossil dinoflagellate cyst thalassiphora pelagica was analyzed but postmortem alteration was noted furthermore dinocysts can be subject to selective preservation this has been speculated to reflect different dinosporin no conclusive differences have been shown recent ftir work shows both differences and similarities between the major dinocyst lineages which are suggested to be related to nutritional strategies

was seen by percent of all to yearolds and percent of all to yearolds watching television at the time of the broadcast this represented a season high in total viewers and in the demographic an increase of two million viewers over the previous season finale and the highestrated episode of the series in overall viewers for two years when data obtained from dvr viewers who watched the episode within seven days of broadcast was factored in total viewership for the finale increased by percent to million percent to a rating the series finale received acclaim from critics and from fans of the series alan sepinwall of hitfix opined that the finale gave these ridiculous cartoon characters three dimensions for at least a few moments so they could say proper goodbyes to each other and to us he elaborated that liz and tracy back at the strip club was a blunt but heartfelt summation of their whole relationship and jack on the boat giving a long preamble about the true nature of their friendship before saying that he loved liz which liz spared him from actually having to do by saying it to him first was a thing of beauty in conclusion he wrote that he would miss this show but this ending felt close to perfect roth cornet of ign gave the episode a masterpiece out of and commented rock had the rare ability to provide both comedy and earned sentiment that has never been more true than back to his roots his truelove after a gloriously shortlived soul searching sea adventure housewares liz once and for all embraces the fact that yes you can have it all but having it all ultimately means truly knowing and accepting yourself and having the willingness to compromise and with that a series that could have been an ingenious bit of comedy but not much more became a show about people and relationships that will stay with us well past the final fade to black tonight pilot viruet of the av club awarded the episode an a and singled out two scenes in particular as perfect the first is liz meeting tracy at the strip club they visited in the pilot and while admitting that its possible they wont be friends after this admitting she still does sincerely love him the second scene is if sic course jacks suicide fakeout which he staged as a way to prove that liz lemon would miss him in the will be seen in plenty of future sitcoms and while its a shame to see it go its great to see it go out on such a high note amy amatangelo of paste scored the episode a out of and opined that its hard to create a series finale that will make every fan happy but rock which is going out still very close to the top of its game came very close there was so much to love about the episode lizs frighteningly spoton fights with the moms at gothammomscom jenna landing in la seeing the competition and hightailing it right back to new york the show getting in a few last digs at nbc plenty of grizz and dot com what appeared to be the shows real crew in the final tgs shot the return of jonathan tracy spelling out his name for kenneths receptionist r as in the pirate noise a as in the fonzie cant look in the mirror to confirm that shes crying sure i could have done without the lutz demand for blimpies as the last lunch but i quibble james poniewozik of time commented that in some ways last weeks episode felt more like a finale in that it put a period on several stories liz got her kids tgs hit the end of its run jack got kabletown and kenneth became president of nbc the last hour on the other hand was a goodbyein a rock ian meta sense it was like the one more episode that tgs itself had to make because we werent quite ready to stop and added and im glad we got that epilogue because as neatly as the rest of this shortened final season wrapped up rocks plotlines this last hour captured its emotion tom gliatto of people praised the episode as one added that the characters were full of the sparkling absurd liveliness that characterized the show at its best throughout seven seasons he concluded that with its endless supply of shiny shapely little jokes the show could feel like a wonderful salad served up without a bowl you got tired of being showered with lovely microgreens this time we got the bowl it was a lovely burnished wood brian lowry of variety was slightly less favourable commenting the finale earns points for ambition and nostalgia there are the obligatory celebrity cameos some very clever lines a nifty callback to the pilot and a kicker that exhibits a real love for television a lot of the audience probably wo nt understand it but the whole thing is a little too precious and yes weird frittering away too much time on the supporting players before getting to the really good stuff

 czarface is a collaborative studio album by american rapper inspectah deck and underground hip hop duo l amp esoteric the album was released on february the album features guest appearances from roc marciano oh no ghostface killah action bronson cappadonna and vinnie paz the albums production comes from l spada and dj premier background in february during an interview with hiphopdx inspectah deck spoke about the origins of the album saying i really do nt think there were a lot of goals or things like that for me right now its taking off better than anticipated because i guess i underestimated the peoples need to hear something worth listening to so i did czarface ive done a couple records with l amp esoteric back in the day with speaking real words and another th chamber ive done two songs with them already and we built up a lot of buzz just off of those two on tour with the wutang clan but we all talked about it a while agoabout doing this type of project it all just came together at the right time and the whole czarface thing was supposed to be a hero to save hip hop i did nt really have the whole cartoon comic book vision all in my head at that time i sat down with esoteric he brought that thought to light and i thought that would be a good idea a lot of the real hip hop heads the true school hip hop generation they know what that covers all about we grew up with those comic books some of us are still diehard fans of that and i thought bringing that together with just being the classic hip hop beats and rhymes of the s and before i thought that combination was going to bring something to the game i think czarface is the bluecollar album of rap right now i think its ben wallace and them they really had no star but the whole team was bluecollar and everybody gave that effort i think this is one of those underdog albums that when the smoke clears from all of those big guns going off youre still going to hear these shots going i listened to the project really headtotoe for the first time the other day and im like it sounds good man just let it play from beginning to end thats how we used to do when we had cassette tapes just let it roll then go to the other side i think this is one of those personally just listening to the sound i think we leaked three songsthe one with roc marciano cement s the one with action bronson its raw and the one shoguns with vinnie paz i believe that created a real buzz for it right now so its getting good feedback and a good vibe i think this is one of the smart choices for esoteric also basically it started out as ls idea to put out something like a white label or kind of a diamond in the rough slab of vinyl that really had no promotion at all and was just kind of leaked out there you know we still have that s mentality with me and inspectah deck on the mic and l on production we were just going to have it sneak out as we started recording we thought we could actually sell this so we started to conceptualize the idea of czarface and having that be the name of the group the character represents the three of us when were on the mic and doing damage or whatever the idea was to make a few records keep it really lyrical and give the people what they wanted and expect from the wutang clans most heralded swordsman so to speak and me and l from boston so it was just doing what we do in the past but just come out swinging in esoteric it was just important for us to work with lyricists that we respect and just keep it a really organic record were not trying to dial in an akon hook or something like that thats going to make a record blow up in a way that does nt really suit us i think the natural thing to do is to get some wu members some members from my crewweve got vinnie paz on the record everyone was really excited and easy to work with because they saw our vision obviously the wu guys with an allegiance to deck just made it a real easy thing and l wanted to get action bronson and roc marciano on the record cause these guys are really poppin right now it might add a little flavor to the record for maybe a younger listener who is more intuned to what theyre doing right now and obviously they destroyed it i have a tremendous amount of respect for them so it was just a good fit for the album esoteric also spoke well that was something that i wanted to do for the album one of the things that always stood out to me with deck was that hed reference superheroes every once in a whilesomething about the claws of wolverine peter parkerall these different things ive always been into comic books and i think our discography kind of shows everything with that but i kinda think thats how we meet too and if we had a figurehead for the album i came up with czarface the name i ran it by deck and he loved it and then i had to find an artist that kind of brings czarface to life i wanted it to be very jack kirby influenced i just love jack kirbys art lamour supreme who works for mishka had done stuff for jack kirbys museum and it made a lot of sense for him to do the art and he killed it he developed czarface based on the ideas it to look like and what he represented i would reference ultron and major blood and all these different metalclad villains or heroes and he just went with it were really happy with what he created critical response czarface was met with generally favorable reviews from music critics at metacritic which assigns a weighted mean rating out of to reviews from mainstream critics the album received an average score of based on reviews which indicates positive reviews omar burgess of hiphopdx gave the album four out of five stars saying czarface has no major flaws its obviously not for everyone yet even when incorporating current critical favorites like action bronson and mr mfn exquire no compromises are made inspectah deck l amp esoteric use s east coast hip hop as a blueprint to innovate and ultimately thats what made that era so special in the first place bogar alonso of xxl gave the album supposed last golden era might make some queeze and for good reason hiphop purists have long sucked on the decade like a warm thumb afraid of the cold mean world that lay ahead but czarface also the name for deck and co s group keeps matters as fresh the albums marqueewith names like roc marciano action bronson and mr mfn exquireassures just that cement s its raw and poisonous thoughtslisted in the order of appearance of the guests mentionedcome off as love letters rather than industry ruboffs if the above trio were operating in the late s theyd be dropping similar heat bryan hahn of the source gave the album a positive review saying czarface does nt fall short of what it wanted to accomplishknocking the chumps out the ring it does nt pretend to deliver positive messages for the kids or even tell heart wrenching stories about the hood plain and simple l masterminded sinister beats while the potential of the oftenmislead art of lyricism can sound like long live czarface matthew fiander of popmatters gave the album a six out of ten saying song to song we see confident production and expert rhyming from guys we know can do both but while inspectah deck may be one of the most effortless emcees in wutang he s not the most narrative neither is esoteric so while the songs here bang in all the ways you want they rarely catch you off guard and they rarely tell you where theyre going not that they need to but that sense of direction out of the past and toward something new might have elevated a good album to something great mark bozzer of exclaim gave the album a seven out of ten saying minus all of the corny sound bites this album undoubtedly keeps the underground renaissance sizzling commercial performance the album debuted at number on the us billboard top rampbhiphop albums listing

 birthplace paris alain kirili born in is a french sculptor he is recognized for his postminimalist abstract sculptures in forged iron and his largescale public sculptures his work has subsequently been the subject of numerous gallery and museum exhibitions in america and europe and has received considerable critical interest from art historians such as thierry dufrne robert c morgan robert rosenblum and kirk varnedoe alain kirili lives and works in paris and new york early career alain kirili was born to a french family in paris at the age of during the course of his early artistic training kirili discovered sculptures cubi xviii and cubi xix exhibited at the muse rodin in paris and was immediately inspired by the american sculptor s work kirili traveled to the united states that same year during his stay kirili visited the major museum collections in new york washington baltimore philadelphia chicago and detroit where became an especially influential figure to him alain kirili met the korean painter in paris during this period kirili became part of the circle of intellectuals writers and artists around roland barthes and the avantgarde literary magazine tel quel philippe sollers and julia kristeva his first solo show was at sonnabend gallery in paris in among other works this show included a floor piece untitled cut zinc sheet which already contained many of the elements that would characterize his future practice this work is reproduced in the exhibition catalog and accompanied with a text by the french poet and art critic marcelin pleynet ileana sonnabend introduced kirili to robert rauschenberg whom he credits with introducing him to important personalities in the new york art scene kirili had several shows at sonnabend gallery in paris and geneva before his sculptures were first exhibited in new york in at the inaugural show of the institute for art and urban resources now moma ps his was included in the documenta vi in kassel germany that same year he married the french photographer ariane lopezhuici in while traveling in india for the first time kirili was inspired by the hindu concept of yoni lingam a sculptural representation of the feminine yoni and the masculine lingam forming a symbolic union in the manner of base and sculpture in kirilis work in his article lingaistics published in art in america in kirili evokes more specifically the sexual and repetitive aspect of these abstract and highly symbolic religious objects kirili s first solo show in new york was held at sonnabend gallery where he exhibited a series of forged iron sculptures in the museum of modern art moma acquired one of his pieces indian curve for the first time the acquisition coinciding with his move to new york oeuvre early sculpture in forged iron of kirilis earliest forged iron pieces it consists in a thinly shaped iron bar growing out of its base in modeled bronze the tactile and spiritual quality of the sculpture distinguishes it from thenprevailing tendencies in conceptual art art historian robert rosenblum perceived in this work a vertical force familiar in the paintings of barnett newman suggesting a spiritually rather than materially assertive human presence the concept of verticality is indeed crucial in the context of kirili s oeuvre in an interview with art critic philippe piguet kirili addresses furthermore the importance he ascribes to the concepts of circumvolution and incarnation one of his early sculptures was shown at the institute for art and urban resources now moma ps in others eg untitled and laocoon ii both representative of this first series in forged iron are now in the nasher collection dallas and the fonds national dart contemporain fnac france respectively other early sculptures explore the upward movement of a curved metal bar seeking support on a wall as well as the potentials of a horizontal rather than vertical extension eg longevity kirili once described his aesthetic as organic simplicity in the tradition of but formally not attached to minimalism and abstract expressionism indeed his early sculptures are already concerned with tactility and gesture emphasizing the active involvement of the artists hand in the process of creation kirili embraces a process that is immediate combining emotions intuitions and the subconscious in a free improvisation with the material commandement series the commandement series of sculptures is one of kirilis most important and ongoing bodies of work this series of distinct geometric forms which art historians have described as mystical fonts and abstract alphabets rises to inches above the ground and individual examples are composed of up to elements according to kirili s statement the title the jewish museum in new york he came across the word rimonim and was told that in hebrew it referred to the pomegranate fruit and by extension to the commandments in the torah which are said to be as numerous as the seeds in a pomegranate the forms of the elements in the commandements series were influenced by his encounter on new york s lower east side with the torah calligraphers who trace their letters in the tradition of stone engravers this series is concerned with the symbolic value of basic forms and particularly with the world of glyphs signs and texts in a way that evokes not only kirili s fascination with ancient scripture but also his ties to the parisian milieu of writers and intellectuals such as roland barthes philippe sollers and julia kristeva br in soprano saxophonist steve lacy performed in and amongst kirili s commandement at new york s thread waxing space launching an ongoing series of many of these improvisations for example with billy bang thomas buckner roy campbell jr roy haynes steve lacy sunny murray william parker joe mcphee cecil taylor among others are documented in celebrations published in by christian bourgois paris the earliest commandements were created out of iron and either forged or cut with a torch kirili continued this series with a variety of materials including styrofoam painted iron and pigmented concrete kirili first experimented with pigmented concrete in commandement claude monet which was shown at the muse de lorangerie paris as part of the exhibition kirili et les nymphas br rythmes dautomne the most recent of the commandements was commissioned by the city of paris and exhibited on the parvis of the htel de ville in the heart of paris rythmes dautomne grey pigmented concrete invites the public into its square feet wide space of signs in order to play converse dance or meditate a dialogue between variety and unity kirili has constantly pursued an interest in abstract modeling which has resulted over the years in the creation of an entire body of work in terra cotta art historian kirk varnedoe describes these works as heavily manipulated and often in rich fleshy tones invested with more feminine form and with an altogether different energy especially compared to his forged iron pieces in kirili began including iron elements and especially iron wire in the terra cotta pieces adam the first terra cotta series was presented in two consecutive exhibitions along with kirili s forged iron pieces at galerie maeght in paris in and including the series ivresse now in the collection of the centre georges pompidou in kirili was invited to exhibit at the muse rodin kirili has rodins oeuvre as these forces resonate in a more abstract manner in kirili s own work he has also written about rodins erotic drawings in rodin dessins rotiques published by editions gallimard in nudity modeled in clay and cast in bronze was created for this show and is kirilis first monumental almost feet tall bronze its surface is densely modeled and insistently abstract but nonetheless displays the pleasure of rendering human flesh as art historian paula rand hornbostel put it kirili simultaneously presented a group of new sculpturestables table like sculptures entitled gnrations initiated in gnrations as kirk varnedoe suggests brings together a complex array of individual smaller sculptures pieces from the commandment series and forgediron works of various scales in an approach of formal unity gnrations with their lively tempo and bright openness explore a dialogue between heterogeneous forms and media between variety and unity kirili in to experiment with aluminum while applying a torch to the aluminum kirili discovered the material s explosive reaction this explosion which resembled a floral mechanism was perceived by kirili as a very expressionistic and emotional sign which emerged from the regularity of the vertical art critic philippe dagen emphasized the velvetiness and metallicness of these aluminum pieces in his essay for the catalog of kirilis solo exhibition at the muse dart moderne de sainteetienne where he presented several of these sculptures eg king i and symphonie des psaumes from on kirili has devoted himself to the creation of several series of organic wire sculpture with partial rubber inclusions in different colors which he conceptualizes as threedimensional drawings the process of creation is based on velocity and free improvisation similar to kirili s technique of modeling clay his series aria was created between his studios in new york and paris a select number of hartung s sculptures this show was presented in two parts at the foundation hartung bergman and the muse picasso antibes in largescale public sculpture art historian kirk varnedoe points out that scale is of crucial concern to kirili and a general tendency toward greater scale has like a growing interest in the special conditions of outdoor sculpture been characteristic of his recent work br kirili considers grand commandement blanc tuileries garden paris as his first largescale public sculpture in he initiated a series of largescale limestone sculptures of which rsistance is the most recent one the title is inspired by a maxim of the french resistance which he adopted creation is an act of resistance and resistance is an act of creation commissioned by the city of grenoble rsistance is composed of seven binary elements of giant burgundy limestone blocks each element is approximately sup sup sup sup sub sub feet wide two other similar sculptures both commissions are permanently installed in france improvisation tellem in dijon campus of the university of burgundy and hommage charlie parker in paris avenue de france br art historian thierry dufrne characterized this series as giant drippings because of their scale and the spontaneous and their rapid onsite installation which is accomplished without any preliminary drawings the gesture is monumental

 bismarck the man and the statesman is a biography of the german statesman otto von bismarck by the english historian a j p taylor it was first published in the united kingdom by hamish hamilton in june origins in a book review written in taylor wrote that to write a life of bismarck within reasonable compass would be one of the greatest of historical achievements but perhaps it is impossible the material is overwhelming and to make matters worse bismarck himself has left in speeches conversations or his reminiscences versions of all the principal events usually deliberately misleading taylor had previously written germany s first bid for colonies a move in bismarck s european policy and the struggle for mastery in europe both of which in different ways covered bismarck s foreign policy to learn more about his personal life taylor read many biographies of bismarck and a few monographs in french german and later wrote that the biography was one of the books he had most enjoyed writing i knew all the historical background already now i found bismarck s personality fascinating as well and he became one of the few i should like to recall from the dead it is a very good exercise for an historian to stray into biography a field seemingly so similar and yet fundamentally different perhaps no historian can really handle individual psychology or make an individual the centre of his book all the same i think my bismarck is the best on him ever written contents taylor s bismarck is not the junker and iron chancellor but a complicated urban intellectual the clever sophisticated son of a clever sophisticated mother masquerading all his life as his heavy earthen father instead of working from a thought out plan for the unification of germany bismarck was an opportunist taking advantage where he knew he could succeed an emotional man bismarck was able through politics and reception the book was an immediate success outselling all of taylor s previous books both in britain and america harold nicolson in a review said he enjoyed taylor s irreverence and his sharp snaps of paradox in a review for the new statesman the military historian michael howard wrote that taylor carries out his revaluation in the clear sharp epigrammatic prose which makes all his work as stimulating as champagne and which makes one wonder sometimes whether it was all really as simple as that his mind is a convex mirror in which events appear brilliantly coloured brilliantly distinct and sometimes a little distorted he has many of the virtues of macaulay and one or two of his faults the pattern is too sharply etched the epigrams are too neat the judgements are too final but how refreshing it is to read a historian who is not afraid of patterns epigrams and judgements the american historian of germany gordon a craig a long needed account in english of the main facts of bismarck s career an account which is at once readable up to date and balanced in the second place he paints a fascinating portrait of one of the most complicated personalities in an age which was filled with gifted and original minds the chapter on the corrosive effects of the bismarckian tradition in germany s intellectual development is not the least interesting part of this highly provocative study fritz stern reviewed the book for the political science quarterly and said that while there are many other biographies of bismarck that are more detailed as a perceptive psychological sketch of this massively complex being mr taylor s bismarck stands unsurpassed a german edition was not published until and it was not much noticed there however german historian wolfgang mommsen later said that taylor s biography was better than any german synthesis notes

 locationleipzig version locationleipzig version locationleipzig version text anonymous chorale stanzas from chorales version the structure of johann sebastian bach s st john passion bwv is shown in tables below the original latin title translates to the passion after john bach s large choral composition written to be performed in a lutheran service on good friday is based on the passion as told in two chapters from the gospel of john in the translation by martin luther and with two short interpolations from the gospel of matthew during the vespers service the two parts of the work were performed before and after the sermon part i covers the events until peter s denial of jesus part ii concludes with the burial of jesus the bible text is reflected in contemporary poetry and in chorales that often end a scene of most bach cantatas an anonymous poet supplied a few texts himself quoted from other passion texts and inserted chorales by nine hymnwriters bach led the first performance on april in leipzig s he repeated it several times between and experimenting with different movements and changes to others resulting in four versions the passion close to bach s heart has an immediate dramatic quality structure text gospel the gospel account by john narrates the story in five scenes the corresponding movement numbers are given from the nba part i arrest kidron valley denial palace of the high priest kaiphas part ii crucifixion and death golgatha burial burial site some musicologists regard movement as the conclusion of scene the aria bach incorporated two short interpolations from the gospel of matthew chorales narration stanzas from lutheran hymns possibly bach had an influence on their selection he set them all in common time for four parts the instruments playing with the voices five chorales conclude a scene in movements and a chorale opens part ii five chorales comment within a scene including the central movement of the whole passion one chorale accompanies the bass soloist in an aria most chorale texts were written in the th and th century by authors of the reformation such as martin luther martin schalling and michael weie and by hymn writers including paul gerhardt and johann heermann the central chorale is not part of a common hymn contemporary text on a third level of text contemporary poetry reflects the biblical narration it was compiled by an unknown author who partly used existing text from the etching by christian fritzsch filechristian weise kupferstich von j c bcklinjpg gallery scoring the work is scored for vocal soloists soprano alto tenor and bass a four part choir satb and an orchestra of two flauto traverso ft two oboes ob two oboes da caccia oc two violins viola va and basso continuo bach added some instruments in arias for special effects oldfashioned already at the time such as lute viola damore and viola da gamba vg bach did not differentiate the vox christi voice of christ singing the words of jesus from the other bass recitatives and arias nor the evangelist from the tenor arias symmetry the work displays a thoughtful symmetryin music versions bach led the first performance on april in version bach opened with a chorale fantasia on in version after bach wrote his st matthew passion bach returned to the first version possibly in but revised it thoroughly he began a new score which covers movements as christoph wolff observes the fragmentary revised score constitutes an extensive stylistic overhaul with painstaking improvements to the partwriting and a partial restructuring of the instrumentation particular attention was paid to the wordsetting in the recitatives and the continuo accompaniment wolff writes bach experimented with the st john passion as he did with no other largescale composition tables of movements the following tables give an overview of version i of the passion first performed in two versions of movement numbers are given first that of the neue bachausgabe nba then that of the older bachwerkeverzeichnis bwv voices appear in one of three columns depending on the text source bible contemporary poetic reflection and chorale the instrumentation is added using abbreviations for instruments followed by key and time signature and the nba number of a corresponding movement within the work part ii overview in the following the movement numbers are those of the nba version i unless otherwise noted the chorales in detail the first chorale movement is inserted after jesus said to arrest him but let the disciples go the second chorale movement ends the first scene of the arrest after jesus remarks that he has to be obedient thy will be done lord god alike is stanza of luther s hymn a paraphrase of the lord s prayer the third chorale movement is inserted after jesus asks the one who beat him for justification two stanzas from paul gerhardt s hymn comment the scene stanza who hath thee now so stricken and stanza i i and my transgressions highlighting the personal responsibility of the speaking sinner for the suffering of jesus the fourth chorale movement ends i after the denial of peter the fifth chorale movement opens part ii and the third scene of the court hearing the sixth chorale movement comments in two more stanzas from herzliebster jesu after jesus addressed the different kind of his kingdom stanza the seventh chorale movement is the central movement of the whole passion which interrupts the conversation of pilate and the crowd by a general statement of the importance of the passion for salvation the seventh chorale movement ends the scene of the court hearing after pilate refuses to change the inscription the eighth chorale movement is related to jesus telling his mother and john to take care of each other the ninth chorale movement is part of the bass aria which follows immediately after the report of the death of jesus the tenth chorale movement ends the scene of the crucifixion the

 proportional myoelectric control can be used to activate robotic lower limb exoskeletons a proportional myoelectric control system utilizes a microcontroller or computer that inputs electromyography emg signals from sensors on the leg muscles and then activates the corresponding joint actuators proportionally to the emg signal background a robotic exoskeleton is a type of orthosis that uses actuators to either assist or resist the movement of a joint of an intact limb this is not to be confused with a powered prosthesis which replaces a missing limb there are four purposes that robotic lower limb exoskeletons can accomplish enhancement of human performance which typically deals with increasing strength or endurance see powered exoskeletons longterm assistance which aims to provide impaired individuals with the ability to walk by themselves while wearing an exoskeleton study of human locomotion which utilizes robotic exoskeletons to better understand human neuromuscular control energetics andor kinematics of locomotion postinjury rehabilitation which is intended to help an individual recover from an injury such as disabilities by wearing an exoskeleton for a short time during training in order to perform better later without the use of the exoskeleton robotic lower limb exoskeletons can be controlled by several methods including a footswitch a pressure sensor attached to the bottom of the foot gait phase estimation using joint angles to determine the current phase of walking and myoelectric control using electromyography this article focuses on myoelectric control control methods sensors on the skin detect electromyography emg signals from the muscles of the wearers legs emg signals can be measured from just one muscle or many depending on the type of the exoskeleton and how many joints are actuated each signal measured is then sent to a controller which is either an onboard microcontroller mounted to the exoskeleton or to a nearby computer onboard microcontrollers are used for longterm assistive devices since the wearer must be able to walk in different locations while wearing the exoskeleton whereas computers not carried by the exoskeleton can be not have to walk very far in a clinical or lab environment the controller filters out noise from the emg signals and then normalizes them so as to better analyze the muscle activation pattern the normalized emg value of a muscle represents its activation percentage since the emg signal is normalized by dividing it by the maximum possible emg reading for the muscle it came from the maximum emg reading is generated when a muscle is fully contracted an alternative method to normalization is to proportionally match the actuator power to the emg signal between a minimum activation threshold and an upper saturation level direct proportional myoelectric control with a proportional myoelectric controller the power sent to an actuator is proportional to the amplitude of the normalized emg signal from a muscle when the muscle is inactive the actuator receives no power from the controller and when the muscle is fully contracted the actuator produces maximum torque about the joint it controls for example an powered anklefoot orthosis afo could employ a pneumatic artificial level of the soleus one of the calf muscles this control method enables the exoskeleton to be controlled by the same neural pathways as the wearer s biological muscles and has been shown to allow individuals to walk with a more normal gait than other control methods such as using a footswitch proportional myoelectric control of robotic lower limb exoskeletons has advantages over other control methods such as its physiological nature allows for an effective way to scale the magnitude of mechanical assistance from the exoskeleton it results in reduced biological muscle recruitment versus kinematic based control methods it allows easy adaptation of the exoskeleton control for new motor tasks however proportional myoelectric control also has disadvantages compared to other control methods including the surface electrode interface can often cause difficulties in obtaining a reliable emg signal the system requires tuning to determine the appropriate thresholds and gains the musculoskeletal system has many synergistic muscles that are not easily accessible via surface emg electrodes since neurological disorders result in decreased neuromuscular control some to use an exoskeleton with myoelectric control proportional myoelectric control with flexor inhibition direct proportional control works well when each joint of the exoskeleton is actuated in one direction unidirectional actuation such as a pneumatic piston only bending the knee but is less effective when two joint actuators work in opposition bidirectional actuation an example of this would be ankle exoskeleton using one pneumatic artificial muscle for dorsiflexion based on tibialis anterior shin muscle emg and another pneumatic artificial muscle for plantar flexion based on soleus calf muscle emg this could result in a large degree of coactivation of the two actuators and make walking more difficultferris dp gordon ke sawicki gs and peethambaran a an improved powered anklefoot orthosis using proportional myoelectric control gait and posture pp to correct for this unwanted coactivation a rule can be added to the control scheme so that artificial dorsiflexor activation is inhibited when soleus emg is above a set more natural gait than with direct proportional control flexor inhibition also allows subjects to walk much more easily with combined knee and ankle exoskeletons with bidirectional actuators at each joint applications performance enhancement performance enhancement deals with increasing typical human capabilities such as strength or endurance many fullbody robotic exoskeletons currently in development use controllers based on joint torques and angles instead of electromyography see powered exoskeletons long term assistance one application of a robot lower limb exoskeleton is to assist in the movement of a disabled individual in order to walk individuals with spinal cord injury weakened leg muscles poor neuromuscular control or who have suffered a stroke could benefit from wearing such a device the exoskeleton provides torque about a joint in the same direction that emg data indicate the joint is rotating for example high emg signals in the vastus medialis a quadriceps muscle and low emg signals in the biceps femoris a hamstring muscle would indicate that the user is extending hisher leg therefore straighten the leg study of human locomotion proportional myoelectric control and robotic exoskeletons have been used in upper limb devices for decades but engineers have only recently begun utilizing them for lower limb devices to better understand human biomechanics and neural control of locomotion by using an exoskeleton with a proportional myoelectric controller scientists can use a noninvasive means of studying the neural plasticity associated with modifying a muscle s force biological artificial force as well as how motor memories for locomotor control are formed which can require up to three physical therapists to help partially support the body weight of the individual robotic lower limb exoskeletons could help in both of these areas physiological response the neuromuscular system has targeted joint torques it tries to generate while walking assistive exoskeletons produce some of the torque needed to move one or more leg joints while walking which allows a healthy individual to generate less muscle torque in those joints and use less metabolic energy the muscle torque is reduced enough to keep the walking without an exoskeleton the net torque about each joint is the muscular torque plus the actuator torque disabled individuals do not see much of a decrease if any in muscular torque while walking with an exoskeleton because their muscles are not strong enough to walk with a normal gait or at all the exoskeleton provides the remaining torque needed for them to walk examples vanderbilt exoskeleton

 epochalism an attitude of respect for the progressive spirit of the age and for social and technological advancement was contrasted by clifford geertz with what he termed the essentialist valorisation of traditional values as a central social polarity pervading developing nations more broadly the term used has been used to describe the postfordist postmodern belief that the current era or epoch represents a fundamental clean break with the past is something unique in human history polarities in emerging economies epochalism in the developing world can be seen purely as a progressive force favouring movement toward secularisation and industrial advance as opposed to a regressive return to the traditional values of community and gemeinschaft however in practice the situation is likely to be more complicated nationalist struggles for independence have often relied on essentialist appeals to authentic ethnic communities and cultural practices as well as to epochalism in order to free themselves from dependence on a western modelwestern control internet epochalism the rapid rise of the world wide human phenomenon wholly divorced from all past experience evgeny morozov used the term epochalism to describe the prevalent stcentury belief that one is living in truly exceptional times an intellectual fallacy i call epochalism previous technological advances as with the age of railways or the age of broadcasting had of course made very similar claims for themselves and a e housman a century before had denounced the mind which commands no outlook upon the past or the future but believes that the fashion of the present unlike all fashions heretofore will endure perpetually late modernity however with its shortening of awareness of timespans and its focus on the present makes the shortsightedness of epochalism with what morozov saw as its dark fetishism of internetbased solutions an increasingly plausible intellectual posture
