WPXA-TV

WPXA-TV, virtual channel 14 (UHF digital channel 16, is an Ion Television owned-and-operated station serving Atlanta, Georgia, United States that is licensed to Rome, Georgia. The station is owned by West Palm Beach, Florida-based Ion Media Networks (the former Paxson Communications). WPXA-TV's offices are located on North Cobb Parkway (US 41) in Marietta, and its transmitter is located on Bear Mountain, near the Cherokee–Bartow county line. The station's broadcast range extends into parts of Alabama and Chattanooga, Tennessee and even the southwest corner of North Carolina. However, terrain shielding not accounted for in radio propagation models prevents this from regularly occurring, due to the north Georgia mountains. On cable, WPXA-TV is available in standard definition on channel 12 on Comcast Xfinity and channel 11 on Charter Spectrum, and in high definition on Xfinity channel 812 and Spectrum channel 711. History The station was issued a construction permit in 1984 on Channel 14 as WZGA but never went on-air. The station went on-air February 29, 1988 as WAWA with studios on Shorter Avenue in Rome and transmitter on nearby Mount Alto. The station was owned by Sudbrink Broadcasting of West Palm Beach, Florida, and had a general entertainment format of low-budget shows, public domain movies, and local newscasts. It also aired several ABC, CBS and NBC shows that WSB-TV (channel 2), WAGA-TV (channel 5) and WXIA-TV (channel 11) turned down. In 1990, the station changed its calls to WTLK-TV and moved its studios to Marietta and transmitter to Bear Mountain (west of Canton). Rebranding as "Talk TV", it featured national talk shows like Phil Donahue and Sally Jessy Raphael. It also aired local shows (with TV studio audiences) with WSB's Neal Boortz, former Miss America Suzette Charles, Hosea Williams, Michael Young, WVEE's Mike Roberts, WGST's Brian Wilson and others. The station never took off in metro Atlanta as WTLK was not a must-carry on cable TV. The other independent on the fringe of the market, WNGM-TV (channel 34, now WUVG) had the same problem. Later in the 1990s, WTLK ran blocks of country music videos along with infomercials. In 1996 the station was sold to Paxson Communications. The must-carry rules for cable systems took effect about the same time. WTLK, WNGM and WATC would be added to most metro cable systems immediately. The station's format consisted of infomercials by day and the Worship Network at night. Pax TV was launched in 1998 and WTLK became WPXA as a charter affiliate. Pax TV later became i: Independent Television and is now Ion Television. During the Pax era, WPXA aired a late-night replay of WXIA's 11 p.m. newscast. Most Pax stations had similar arrangements with the NBC affiliates in their markets. The station's broadcast tower on Bear Mountain was also the first location for WCHK-FM 105.5, now WRDA 105.7 on Sweat Mountain. Rome also had a previous full-power TV station (ABC/CBS/NBC/DuMont) WROM-TV channel 9, from 1953–1957. That was later moved to Chattanooga and became what is now WTVC. Digital television Digital channels The station's digital signal is multiplexed: WPXA-TV also has a Mobile DTV feed

Mount Eniwa

is an active volcano located in Shikotsu-Toya National Park in Hokkaidō, Japan. It sits opposite Mount Tarumae and Mount Fuppushi on the shores of Lake Shikotsu, the caldera lake that spawned the volcanoes. Mount Eniwa is the tallest of the three volcanoes. Eruptions The last eruption occurred around the start of the 18th century (c. 1700 ±30 years). There are no historical records of this, but tephrochronology indicates phreatic explosions with mudflows from crater 3. Two centuries before this eruption (c. 1550 ±75 years), radiocarbon dating indicates a similar eruption from crater 2. Around the same time (c. 1500 ±150 years), radiocarbon dating indicates another eruption, but from crater 1. This eruption included debris avalanches instead of mudflows. The oldest eruption that has been dated is an explosive eruption from the east side of the summit around 100 BCE ± 100 years according to radiocarbon dating. All these events were central vent eruptions with a volcanic explosivity index (VEI) of 2. Climbing Route A single trail climbs the eastern side of the mountain. It gets progressively steeper as you climb. The trail starts in a forest about one from Poropinai. The treeline is at about . From there the terrain is rocky and alpine. The climb takes 3-3.5 hours. 1972 Winter Olympics At the 1972 Winter Olympics, Mount Eniwa was the site of the men's and women's downhill ski races. The course started at the summit and finished on the southwest slope. The technical events of giant slalom and slalom were held at Teine.

Catholic and Royal Army

The Catholic and Royal Armies () is the name given to the royalist armies in western France composed of insurgents during the war in the Vendée and the Chouannerie, who opposed the French revolution; hence, they were counterrevolutionary by definition. They were also known as the "Red Army" on account of their emblem: the Sacred Heart. Catholic and Royal Army of Vendée The Catholic and Royal Army of Vendée was composed of the three Vendéen armies although that of Lower Poitou joined only occasionally. During the year 1793, the Vendéen army was distinguished into sub-armies : the army of Charette in the Marais breton, the Catholic and Royal Army of Anjou and of Haut-Poitou, and that of Bas-Poitou and Retz country, south of the Loire. The Chouans of the north of the Loire who joined the Vendéens during the Virée de Galerne were named Catholic and Royal Army of Bas-Anjou and of Haute-Bretagne. In reality, those armies were simply groups of fluctuating insurgents led by a chief who had authority over people following his beliefs. The only units with a quasi-permanent existence and organization are the "compagnies de paroisse" which grouped together members of the rural community who elected their captains. Although two-thirds of the insurgents were peasants, they only represented half of the men in these units, the rest being artisans and shopkeepers. The flaws of this army were its few health services and its lack of permanent fighters, even considering their reinforcements of republican deserters, gabelous, Germans or Swiss. Their weaponry and provisions were also poor. The cavalry was only composed of noble chiefs, a few game wardens and peasants mounted on farm horses. The artillery was composed only of old culverin taken from castles and a few cannons taken from the republicans, making it impossible for the Catholic and Royal Army to oppose a strong Republican army on open field, or to break the fortifications of a town like at Granville. After the Battle of Savenay, the army was reconstructed on paper but its actual existence was insignificant; the insurrection became a chouannerie. Peasant soldiers The royalist insurgents who take the name of Vendéens, and that the Republicans named Brigands, originated from four departments, southern Maine-et-Loire, northern Vendée, northern Deux-Sèvres, et southern Loire-Atlantique in the provinces of Poitou, Anjou and Brittany. The insurgent territory took the name of military Vendée. The great majority of Vendéen insurgents were peasants, armed with scythes if they didn't have rifles, but there were also a great number of artisans, especially in the Mauges region of Anjou. The mobilisation in the insurgent territories was massive. In Chemillé, the age of the insurgents varied from 11 to 67 years old. The average age was 25 to 30 years old. A few women also fought among the Vendéens; the most famous one was Renée Bordereau. The army of Charette was known to have a few amazons in its ranks, including Céleste Bulkeley. It was only during the Virée de Galerne that the officers started adopting signs to distinguish themselves from the troops. The generals and officers

Bolstadfjorden

Bolstadfjorden is a long fjord in Vaksdal and Voss municipalities in Vestland county, Norway. The Bolstadfjorden is a branch of Veafjorden and a continuation of Vikafjorden. Vikafjorden meets Bolstadstraumen at Straume and the mouth of Bolstadfjorden. It is the innermost point of the fjord system surrounding the city of Bergen. Bolstadfjorden is deep with a threshold of only which creates a strong tidal current. Bolstadfjorden has a surface area of . There is a threshold at creating two basins, the outer . The Vosso river flows into Bolstadfjorden and brings freshwater from a catchment area. Freshwater inflow peaks in May to June. Freshwater or brackish water on the surface obstructs circulation of the heavier saltwater leaving the saltwater in the deeper part deprived of oxygen. Measurements in April and August 2006 showed indicated that there was no oxygen at or deeper. In April the layer of brackish water was about deep, while in August the brackish water was deep. The main road from Bergen-Voss-Oslo (European route E16) runs along the south shores of the fjord. The Voss Line originally ran along the south shore, partly through 10 short tunnels. When the Bergen Line in 1987 was shifted deeper into the bedrock (through the long Trollkona tunnel), the E16 highway partly took over abandoned tunnels and rail tracks along Bolstadfjorden.

Richard J. Harrison

Richard John Harrison (born August 1949) is an archaeologist and Professor in the University of Bristol, England. Harrison studied at Selwyn College, Cambridge, and gained his Bachelor’s degree in Archaeology and Anthropology from the University of Cambridge in 1970. He held a Prize Fellowship at Harvard from 1970 to 1975, and was awarded his PhD in Anthropology from Harvard University in 1975. His first employment was in the Department of Prehistoric and Roman-British Antiquities at the British Museum, from where he moved to the University of Bristol as a lecturer in 1976. In 1977 he was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, and in 2003 to be a Corresponding Fellow of the Deutsches Archaeologisches Institut in Frankfurt, Germany. Richard Harrison is known for his work on the Copper and Bronze Ages of Europe, in particular Spain and Portugal. He began with an interest in the problems that the Bell Beaker culture poses, which broadened to an interest in the reasons how and why prehistoric societies changed in the manner they did. He has conducted excavations in Spain on the remains of four Bronze Age villages (dated 2600–1000 BC) in the region of Aragón and published his findings (see the selected publications below). Harrison's excavations were supported for many years by the 'Earthwatch' programme. A collaborative project for a three-year study of Beaker cemeteries in Bavaria is supported by a grant from the Von Thyssen Stiftung. Its aim is to use the aDNA preserved in ancient skeletons to determine patterns of kinship, immigration and residence. Selected publications 2007—co-author V. Heyd.

Shelly Lundberg

Shelly J. Lundberg is an economist and currently holds the positions of Leonard Broom Professor of Demography at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she serves as Associate Director of the Broom Center for Demography. Lundberg is one of the world's leading population economists. Biography Shelly Lundberg earned a B.A. from the University of British Columbia in 1975 and a Ph.D. from Northwestern University in 1981, writing her thesis on the relationship between unemployment and household labour supply. After her graduation, Lundberg became an assistant professor of economics at the University of Pennsylvania (1980–84) before moving on to the University of Washington. There, she was promoted first to associate professor of economics (1989–94), then to full professor (1994-2004) and finally was made Castor Professor of Economics in 2004. While at the University of Washington, Lundberg directed the Center for Research on Families (2001–11) as well as the Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology. Since 2011, she has been the Leonard Broom Professor of Demography at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), where she serves as Associate Director of the Broom Center for Demography. In parallel, Lundberg has held visiting appointments at the Russell Sage Foundation and Princeton University. Besides her academic positions, Lundberg is also affiliated with the IZA Institute of Labor Economics, of which she is a research fellow, the University of Bergen, where she works as adjunct professor, and the American Economic Association, wherein she chairs the Committee on the Status of Women in the Economics Profession. Her research has been honoured through the award of a national fellowship at the Hoover Institution (1982–83), a Fellowship in the Society of Labor Economists, whose President she was in 2012-13, and a Downing Fellowship. Moreover, Lundberg has served in the past as Chair of the Social Sciences and Population Studies of the National Institutes of Health, as vice-president of the Association of Population Centers, and as member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW). Finally, she also performs editorial duties for the Journal of Demographic Economics, IZA World of Labor, and the Review of Economics of the Household, and has done so in the past for the American Economic Review, Journal of Population Economics, Demography, Labour Economics, and the Journal of Human Resources. Shelly Lundberg is married to economist Richard Startz, with whom she has two children. Research Shelly Lundberg's research focuses on labour economics, inequality, and the economics of the family. In her research, she has particularly frequently collaborated with Robert A. Pollak. According to IDEAS/RePEc, Lundberg belongs to the top 2% of economists in terms of her research. Research on the labour economics of households One area of Lundberg's research concerns the labour economics of households. In her seminal 1985 paper, Lundberg developed the concept of the added worker effect, which explains countercyclical increases in the labour supply of married women as responses to their husbands' cyclical unemployment.* In further work, Lundberg finds that the labour supply of married couples remains separately determined as long as the couples don't have children

System for Teaching Experimental Psychology

System for Teaching Experimental Psychology (STEP) is a collaborative project designed to maximize the use of E-Prime, PsyScope, and other experiment-generating systems for teaching undergraduate classes in experimental psychology. It is a database of scripts based on classic and student-created psychological experiments, tutorials, utilities, and course frameworks. The project is directed by Brian MacWhinney at Carnegie Mellon University, and other major contributors include Ping Li of the University of Richmond, Chris Schunn of the University of Pittsburgh, and James St. James of Millikin University. Support for STEP comes from the Division of Undergraduate Education of the National Science Foundation. Students in psychology need to learn to design and analyze their own experiments. However, software that allows students to build experiments on their own has been limited in a variety of ways. E-Prime is the standard for building experiments in psychology, STEP is a Web-based resource that uses E-Prime as the delivery engine for a wide variety of instructional materials. The goal of the STEP Project is to provide instructional materials that will facilitate the use of E-Prime in various learning contexts. STEP is compiling a large set of classic experiments implemented in E-Prime and available over the Internet from http://step.psy.cmu.edu. The Web site also distributes instructional materials for building courses in experimental psychology based on E-Prime. STEP Resources include: The e-prime mailing list that is used to share ideas and issues regarding the use of E-Prime to build experiments. SCRIPTS-Classic: Runnable E-Prime scripts that can be used to demonstrate classic experiments in Experimental Psychology. These are accompanied by descriptions of the original articles. SCRIPTS-Plus: Additional E-Prime scripts for certain commonly used paradigms. These are not accompanied by descriptions of the original articles. Some of these are recent contributions. SCRIPTS-Techniques: E-Prime scripts contributed by various users and PST designed to illustrate specific programming techniques and tasks. SCRIPTS-Student: E-Prime scripts contributed by Brian MacWhinney's students in Cognitive Research Methods in 2002 and 2003. MATERIALS: The E-Prime Getting Started Guide and various PowerPoint tutorials from PST, as well as additional technical documents for response boxes, etc. UTILITIES: Utilities for working with E-Prime and PsyScope COURSE FRAMEWORK: Complete material set for a Lab course based on E-Prime from Chris Schunn at George Mason University References External links Official website Category:Experimental psychology

Lucy Must Be Traded, Charlie Brown

Lucy Must Be Traded, Charlie Brown is the 42nd prime-time animated television special based upon the popular comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz. It originally aired on the ABC network on August 29, 2003. It was released on DVD on March 2, 2004, and again on May 1, 2012, as part of a single disc called Happiness is...Peanuts: Team Snoopy. Plot It's the beginning of baseball season, and Charlie Brown is looking forward to the new season with a mixture of joy and apprehension. The apprehension is mainly due to Lucy, who is constantly bothering him with idiotic questions, sarcastic remarks and non-sequiturs, to the point where poor Charlie literally becomes physically ill on the pitcher's mound. After his team loses their first game to Peppermint Patty's team, Charlie Brown then thinks of a great idea of trading one of his team players to Peppermint Patty. He decides to trade Snoopy for five of Peppermint Patty's players (because Snoopy is the only player Patty would want). However, the team is angry with Charlie Brown for this, and Charlie Brown finally decides to rip up the contract made for the trade (which is just as well, as the five players Patty was going to trade declared they'd give up baseball before they'd ever play for Charlie Brown). The team continues to play throughout the season normally until Peppermint Patty suggests that they should trade Lucy for one of Peppermint Patty's team members, which Charlie Brown does. Peppermint Patty gets Lucy, while Charlie Brown gets Marcie (and a pizza). Marcie, however, chooses to not play at her position but spend the entire game next to Charlie Brown on the pitcher's mound. Meanwhile, Lucy, over on Peppermint Patty's squad, gets into her usual fuss-budget business by failing Peppermint Patty at every game the team plays by doing something stupid. Peppermint Patty finally has enough and asks Charlie Brown for the trade to be reversed, which Charlie Brown agrees to do, though he does admit to Peppermint Patty that he had already eaten the pizza included in the trade. At the end, everyone but Charlie Brown leaves due to rain. Charlie Brown stays on the pitcher's mound as the credits roll, only leaving the field when the credits end. Source material The storyline involving Snoopy's botched trade to Peppermint Patty's team was based on a lengthy Peanuts storyline from the fall of 1967. The storyline involving Lucy's and Marcie's trades originated in a storyline from 1988. Of note is the fact that Peppermint Patty refers to Snoopy as "the little kid with the big nose," which is in line with the content of Peanuts in 1967 when the original strips were drawn. In the actual strip, Peppermint Patty did not learn Snoopy was a dog until 1974 and never referred to him as a "kid with the big nose" afterwards.

Martin Fayulu

Martin Madidi Fayulu (born 21 November 1956) is a businessman and lawmaker from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He is the leader of the Engagement for Citizenship and Development party. On 11 November 2018, he was chosen by seven opposition leaders to be their joint presidential candidate in the 2018 Democratic Republic of the Congo general election. However, within 24 hours, Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, the eventual winner of the 2018 presidential election, and Vital Kamerhe, the other oppositional candidate, rescinded their endorsement of his candidacy and formed their own pact with Tshisekedi as candidate. Biography Born in Kinshasa, Martin Fayulu is a former ExxonMobil executive, having worked with the oil company from 1984 until 2003. He served as the company's director-general in Ethiopia as his last post. His involvement in politics began in 1991 when he attended the Sovereign National Conference, which brought together delegates from different regions and organizations to campaign for a multi-party democracy. Mobutu Sese Seko, the authoritarian President of Zaire (as the Democratic Republic of the Congo was then called), allowed the conference to take place but ignored it. Fayulu did not enter politics full time until 2006. In the 2006 and 2011 general elections, he was elected as an MP to the National Assembly. In 2009 he established the Commitment for Citizenship and Development party, which has three MPs, including Fayulu. Félix Tshisekedi was declared the winner of the December 2018 election, despite election observers' belief that Fayulu had won the vote, in what was seen by Fayulu and his supporters as a deal between Tshisekedi and outgoing President Joseph Kabila. Fayulu challenged the result in the DRC's Constitutional Court, which has been criticised for being staffed primarily by Kabila appointees, and thus by late January 2019 the court ruled that Tshisekedi was the rightful winner and he was sworn in as President. He has continued to remain active in politics since the election, continuing to claim that he was the rightful winner. In late July 2019, he met in Lubumbashi with members of the opposition, including former Katanga Province governor Moïse Katumbi, former Prime Minister Adolphe Muzito, and a representative of former rebel leader Jean-Pierre Bemba. They discussed the future of the opposition and democracy in the DRC.

Roller Coaster (video game)

Roller Coaster is a platform-based game which contains some strategy and puzzle elements. Uniquely it holds the claim of being the first video game to ever simulate amusement rides. Roller Coaster was released in 1985 by British video game developer Elite Systems, to overwhelmingly positive reviews. It was, for a time, one of the most popular games for the ZX Spectrum. Gameplay The game takes place in and around an amusement park after closing-time. The player takes control of the park's owner, Colonel G. Bogey. A disgruntled employee has scattered the takings all over the fairground in the form of money bags. The goal is to collect the money. In order to complete the game, the player must collect every money bag which is strewn around the city-sized amusement park; even the money bags placed on precarious perches and in the middle of rides. In order to do this, gambles and risks will have to be taken. The player can also be killed instantaneously by some dangers. This can be caused by numerous careless acts such as jumping from a great height, getting skewered by an erratic turnstile. The player has ten lives. Once the protagonist has died ten times, the player loses and the game is over. Reception A 1985 review in CRASH gave Roller Coaster a 94%. Four years later, in a review of the budget re-release of Roller Coaster, CRASH magazine wrote, "The emphasis in Roller Coaster is to have vast amounts of fun, and, boy, do you! Each screen is deviously devised, but not difficult to master once you get to grips with the gameplay. And the gameplay—it's so addictive! Don't hesitate to buy Roller Coaster!" Dragon's Lair: The Legend Roller Coaster was reworked into the 1991 Game Boy title Dragon's Lair: The Legend, with the game's plot and graphics amended in order to closer resemble those of the original Dragon's Lair coin-op. As less of the playing area was visible in the Game Boy port than in the Spectrum version, the display was effectively a window on each of the original version's screens, scrolling within each one and flicking to the next when the edge of the screen was reached.

2004 Pacific-10 Conference Men's Basketball Tournament

The 2004 Pacific Life Pacific-10 Conference Men's Basketball Tournament was played between March 11 and March 13, 2004 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. The Washington Huskies made their second trip to the final game (and their first since 1987) to play Stanford who was making their third finals appearance. The champion of the tournament was Stanford (who was also the Pac-10 regular season champion), which received the Pac-10's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Most Outstanding Player was Josh Childress of Stanford. The total attendance of 60,126 was the lowest since the tournament had been hosted at the Staples Center from 2002. Seeds The top eight Pacific-10 schools play in the tournament. Teams are seeded by conference record, with a tiebreaker system used to seed teams with identical conference records. Bracket Tournament notes Stanford was the first 1 seed to win the tournament since Arizona had in 1989. This was also Stanford's first (and only) 1 seed in the Pac-10 Tournament and their only tournament championship. Upsets were all but non-existent in this tournament, with only the 5 seed beating the 4 seed in the first round. Oregon and Cal combined for 19 3-pt. field goals which set a then tournament record (13 and 6). This record would be later broken in 2012. Like the previous year, no teams met their arch-rival in this tournament. Washington State was in this tournament for the first time in 14 years, marking the longest drought of any conference team to participate.

TSV Amicitia Viernheim

The TSV Amicitia Viernheim is a German association football club from the city of Viernheim, Hesse. Due to the close proximity of Viernheim to Baden-Württemberg, the club plays in the league system of this state. The club was formed in a merger of the SpVgg Amicitia Viernheim and the TSV Viernheim in May 2008. Amicitia is the Latin word for friendship. History TSV Viernheim TSV was formed in 1906 as a football club, under the name of Fußballclub Sodalität Viernheim. After the First World War, the club joined the DJK organisation and expanded into other sports. With the rise of the Nazis to power in 1933, the club was outlawed due to its association to the Catholic Deutschen Jugendkraft but it was reformed in 1946. Originally as TSV 1946, the club later changed its name to TSV 1906, claiming its origins in the old club. For the most part of its history, it stood in the shadow of Amicitia as football is concerned. TSV gained promotion to the 2nd Amateurliga Rhein-Neckar (IV) in 1971, where it was joined by Amicitia a year later. In 1974, it was relegated from this league again. In 1986, it won promotion to the Landesliga Nordbaden-Staffel 2 (V), a league it won the season after. The club played in the tier-four Verbandsliga Nordbaden for ten seasons from 1988 onwards, a fifth place in its first year being the best result. It returned to this league in 1999–2000 and again from 2003 to 2006 but never came close to Oberliga promotion. Its last season before the merger, 2007–08, it spent in the Landesliga (VI) once more, alongside Amicitia. SpVgg Amicitia Viernheim Amicitia was formed in 1909, three years after the club the TSV claims as its origins. The club was always exclusively a football club, unlike TSV who functioned as a multi-sports club. Amicitia first reached prominence when it gained promotion to the tier-one Bezirksliga Rhein-Saar in 1931. Despite a seventh place in the first season and a fourth in the second, the club could not qualify for the new Gauliga Baden in 1933. After two years in the second tier, it regained its first division status in 1935 but was relegated from the Gauliga again immediately. Amicitia once more returned to this league for one season in 1939. After the end of the Second World War, Amicitia was briefly renamed Grün-Weiß Viernheim due to all pre-1945 sport associations being outlawed. The club became part of the tier-two Landesliga Nordbaden, where it archived a second place in the northern division of the league in 1948, qualifying for the promotion round to the Oberliga Süd, where it came last. After this season, the league was merged into one single division and Amicitia only managed a tenth place the following season. The year after, a seventh place was not enough to qualify the team for the new tier-two 2nd Oberliga Süd and it became part of what was now the Amateurliga Nordbaden. Until 1953, the club remained a mid-table side in this league, after this, its fortunes took a turn

Gwamegi

Gwamegi is a Korean half-dried Pacific herring or Pacific saury made during winter. It is mostly eaten in the region of North Gyeongsang Province in places such as Pohang, Uljin, and Yeongdeok, where a large amount of the fish are harvested. Guryongpo Harbor in Pohang is the most famous. Fresh herring or saury is frozen at -10 degrees Celsius and is placed outdoors in December to repeat freezing at night and thawing during the day. The process continues until the water content of the fish drops to approximately 40%. There are records of gwamegi in the Joseon era document Ohjuyeonmunjangjeonsango (hangul:오주연문장전산고, hanja:五洲衍文長箋算稿) which mentions: "herring is smoked in order to prevent rotting". In another document Gyuhapcheongseo (hangul:규합총서, hanja:閨閤叢書), it is written: "herring with clear eyes are chosen to be dried, which give an unusual taste". The city of Pohang holds an annual Gwamegi Festival to promote the local specialty food.It started in 1997 to promote gwamegi and boost local economies. It is held in November every year and hosts various programs, such as a specialty product contest, free tasting events, and playing traditional Korean music. Some of the major events include a surprise auction of gwamegi, scraping off the skin of gwamegi, and fitting the weight of a gwamegi. History Pohang's Young-Il Bay, which is full of seaweed, was a place where herring herds scattered in the winter. The herring was a major food item when it was thrown into a net, but the problem was how to keep it so that it could be eaten at all times. However, someone hung the herring in a kitchen window (small ventilated window), which had a smoking effect because the smoke was coming from the kitchen. Since then, people have all hung herring in the kitchen window and started to spend the winter. The herring was frozen in the cold winter winds, then melted and dried during the cooking cycle, leaving half dry. The tooth tasted great. The Young-Il Bay people who learned how to freeze and dry the fish further developed by doing this by placing herring on the beach of Guryongpo, where the sun was blazing during the day and the cool sea breeze was hanging at night. Since the 1960s, herring has drastically decreased in the Younh-Il Bay, making gwamegi with mackerel pike caught in large quantities, and it tasted as good as herring. Even today, GwamegI is still made from mackerel pike.

President's Trophy Grade-I

The Patron's Trophy is a Pakistani first-class cricket competition. It was first played in 1960–61 as the Ayub Trophy and remained so for ten years. In 1970–71 it became the BCCP Trophy and two years later it received the title Patron's Trophy. Beginning with the 2012–13 domestic season the tournament was renamed the President's Trophy. The trophy is contested between different departments as opposed to geographical regions. In the past however two Karachi teams have competed. Games are awarded first class status, although between 1979 and 1983 this privilege was not granted. The 1999–2000 season was also not first class because in a one-off it acted as a qualifying competition for the Quaid-i-Azam Trophy. It is currently sponsored by ABN-AMRO.

Maestro Lattantio and His Apprentice Dionigi

Maestro Lattantio and His Apprentice Dionigi is an Italian literary fairy tale written by Giovanni Francesco Straparola in The Facetious Nights of Straparola. This tale plays off a long tradition of conflict between apprentices and their masters; a common oral folktale is such a conflict, where the master is instructing in either magic or theft. One such oral variant is The Thief and His Master. Synopsis In Sicily, in the town of Messina, Maestro Lattantio had learned to be both a magician and a tailor. He took an apprentice, Dionigi, to teach to be a tailor, but Dionigi spied on him and lost all interest in being a tailor because of his desire to learn magic. Lattantio sent him away, but his father sent him back, where Lattantio often punished him for his laziness, but Dionigi bore it because he could watch Lattantio secretly and learn his magic. One day, his father found him doing housework rather than learning to be a tailor, and brought him home, grieved that after his money was spent, his son had not learned a trade. Dionigi turned himself into a horse, and had his father display him for sale. Lattantio saw it and realized that it was Dionigi. He changed himself into a merchant and bought the horse. The father would not sell the bridle, but Lattantio increased his price until the father agreed. Lattantio then took the horse home and mistreated it. His two daughters pitied the horse and were kind to it. One day, they took it down to the stream to drink, where it dashed into the water and became a little fish. Lattantio, finding the horse gone, got his daughters to tell him what had happened, and turned himself into a tunny to chase Dionigi. Dionigi swam near the shore, and jumped into a basket carried by a handmaiden of the king's daughter, turning himself into a ruby ring. , the king's daughter, found the ring and put it on. At night, when she went to bed, he changed into his own form, prevented her from screaming, and explained his plight; she promised to help him as long as he respected her honor. She kept him as a ring by day, and at night would talk with him in human form. The king fell ill. Lattantio came and cured him, asking the princess's ring as his reward. The king summoned , with orders to bring all her jewels, but left behind the ring. Lattantio realized it was missing and said she could find it. She returned to her room and wept over the ring. Dionigi told her that the man was his enemy, and that she should bring the ring and when giving it, throw it against the wall as if in a temper. When she was finally compelled to bring the ring, she did as he had asked, and the ring became a pomegranate that, when it hit the floor, scattered seeds. Lattantio became a rooster and ate the seeds to put an end to Dionigi, but one seed hid out

Albert Hanken

Albert Frederik Gerhard Hanken (9 October 1926, Hillegersberg, - Amstelveen, 21 December 2016) was a Dutch mathematician, inventor, and Emeritus Professor of systems theory at the University of Twente, known for his contributions to the field of systems theory and social analysis. Biography Hanken studied mathematics and physics at the University of Twente and the VU University Amsterdam, and received his PhD in 1954 at the Ohio State University with the thesis, entitled "A method and a model for the analysis and description of car-following performance." From 1955 to 1967 Hanken studied and worked in the United States. Early 1960s he worked for the Industrial Nucleonics Corporation in Ohio, where he developed and patented several measuring systems. From 1965 to 1967 he taught systems engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. In 1967 he moved back to the Netherlands to teach systems theory at the University of Twente and the Eindhoven University of Technology. From 1974 to 1986 he was Professor of Systems Theory at the University of Twente, specifically focussing on systems concepts and methods in the social sciences. Among his students were Ton de Leeuw, Walter Kickert and Nic Kramer. Hanken made an important contribution to the introduction and spreading of systems theory in the Netherlands. In 1970 with Gerard de Zeeuw he cofounded the Dutch Systems Group. After his retirement in 1986 Hanken published several books on Eastern philosophy and mysticism. Hanken died at home in Amstelveen and was buried at Zorgvlied. Work Cybernetics and Society, 1981 In his 1981 "Cybernetics and Society: An Analysis of Social Systems," Hanken explains, that there are different ways to analyse societies as a social systems. A common approach is to see society as a network of interacting persons or groups, called actors. In those days these actors were "usually represented by either stimulus response or normative models." The problem with these analysis-techniques of social systems was, according to Hanken, that they were not detailed enough. They didn't "include a number of essential psychological attributes." In his work he proposed to extend the existing methods, and presented a new framework to make this possible. Classification of social systems Hanken (1981) argued that in the social systems can be classified in three main types: Autocratic systems Collective systems, and Democratic systems This systems differ in ways of decision-making, social interaction, dominance relationship, principles of coordination, communication, bargaining, coalitions, etc. The social system itself can be pictured with three types of subsystems: The system S The environment E, and The decision-maker D Furthermore, these systems contain five essential variables: the control variables, the input variables, the state variables, the output variables, and the information variables. Reception In the sociocybernetics of the 1980s, it was an ongoing question what constitutes social systems. In his 1981 Cybernetics and Society, Hanken stated that social systems consists of actors, inline with Tom Baumgartner in his 1978 paper entitled "An actor-oriented systems model for the analysis of industrial democracy measures." Other scientists in those days defined the components of social systems simply as individuals, or communications. In summarizing the different

Valhand in 1890 and renamed Bolton Court. In 1897 it was extended with Drury Court, designed by local architect William Beebe. In 1962 the gallery was again extended with office space and additional exhibition spaces, as well as a new entrance. From 1998 to 2001 the gallery was refurbished and expanded with a new sculpture gallery designed by Fender Katsalidis Architects. Collection The gallery's collection has a strong emphasis on British and European Continental 19th-century painting, with works by Ernest Waterlow and Pierre Puvis de Chavannes among others. Australian work from the 19th century onwards is also well represented, including Charles Conder and Arthur Streeton. Prizes Arthur Guy Memorial Painting Prize Paul Guest Prize Robert Jacks Drawing Prize (past prize) Logo The gallery's logo is an image of Ettore Cadorin's statue Venus tying her sandals (1913). Cadorin was an Italian-born American, but was married to an Australian contralto, Erna Mueller, who trained at the Bendigo Conservatory. He sold the statue to the gallery after visiting it in 1913.

Yu Shi

Yu Shi () is a Chinese spirit or god of rain, also known as or conflated with Red Pine (Chisong, 赤松, or, Chisongzi – Master Red Pine), among other names. Translations of Yu Shi into English include "Lord of Rain" and "Leader of Rain". As Yu Shi Yu Shi in popular religion in China and Chinese mythology generally appears in association with Feng Bo, the god of the wind. There are both current religious activities and historical mythical stories associated with Yu Shi. Various references in poetry and popular culture also exist, for example in the Chu ci poem "Yuan You". As Chisongzi According to certain versions, a certain Chisongzi () during the reign of Shennong ended a severe drought by sprinkling water from an earthen bowl and was rewarded by being made the Lord of Rain with a dwelling on the mythical Kunlun Mountain. In another form, Chi Songzi is depicted as a chrysalis of a silkworm, who has a concubine whose face is black, holds a snake in each hand, and has a red snake coming out of one ear and a green snake coming out of the other. Historical myths Yu Shi (together with Feng Bo) is said to have aided Chiyou in his struggle against the Yellow Emperor, but was defeated by the intervention of the drought goddess Ba. Current Yu Shi is worshiped by Han Chinese, Maonan people, and other people in modern southwest China as an important rain god, with ritual prayer ceremonies performed to entreat for rain.

Ki-67 (protein)

Antigen KI-67 also known as Ki-67 or MKI67 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MKI67 gene (antigen identified by monoclonal antibody Ki-67). Function Antigen KI-67 is a nuclear protein that is associated with and may be necessary for cellular proliferation. Furthermore, it is associated with ribosomal RNA transcription. Inactivation of antigen KI-67 leads to inhibition of ribosomal RNA synthesis. Use as a marker of proliferating cells The Ki-67 protein (also known as MKI67) is a cellular marker for proliferation, and can be used in immunohistochemistry. It is strictly associated with cell proliferation. During interphase, the Ki-67 antigen can be exclusively detected within the cell nucleus, whereas in mitosis most of the protein is relocated to the surface of the chromosomes. Ki-67 protein is present during all active phases of the cell cycle (G1, S, G2, and mitosis), but is absent in resting (quiescent) cells (G0). Cellular content of Ki-67 protein markedly increases during cell progression through S phase of the cell cycle. In breast cancer Ki67 identifies a high proliferative subset of patients with ER-positive breast cancer who derive greater benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy Antibody labeling Ki-67 is an excellent marker to determine the growth fraction of a given cell population. The fraction of Ki-67-positive tumor cells (the Ki-67 labeling index) is often correlated with the clinical course of cancer. The best-studied examples in this context are prostate, brain and breast carcinomas, as well as nephroblastoma and neuroendocrine tumors. For these types of tumors, the prognostic value for survival and tumor recurrence have repeatedly been proven in uni- and multivariate analysis. MIB-1 Ki-67 and MIB-1 monoclonal antibodies are directed against different epitopes of the same proliferation-related antigen. Ki-67 and MIB-1 may be used on fixed sections. MIB-1 is used in clinical applications to determine the Ki-67 labelling index. One of its primary advantages over the original Ki-67 antibody (and the reason why it has essentially supplanted the original antibody for clinical use) is that it can be used on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections, after heat-mediated antigen retrieval (see next section below). Original Ki-67 antibody The Ki-67 protein was originally defined by the prototype monoclonal antibody Ki-67, which was generated by immunizing mice with nuclei of the Hodgkin lymphoma cell line L428. The name is derived from the city of origin (Kiel, Germany) and the number of the original clone in the 96-well plate. Interactions Ki-67 (protein) has been shown to interact with CBX3.

Walter Reader-Blackton

Walter Reader-Blackton (4 July 1895 – 1 January 1976) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Derbyshire between 1914 and 1921. Reader-Blackton was born at Shirland, Derbyshire as Walter Blackton. He began playing for Derbyshire at the age of 18 in 1914, and after a game in the 2nd XI, made his first-class debut against Worcestershire in August 1914 when he was not out for 31. First-class cricket was interrupted by the First World War and Reader-Blackton served in the Leicestershire Regiment (4th Bn Territorial Force). He was awarded the MC in 1919 ...for conspicuous gallantry and cool leadership on 18th September, 1918, near Haisnes. He took a patrol through the enemy front line to the main line of resistance, where he remained some time acquiring valuable information, and returned safely with his patrol, though discovered by the enemy. The following night when attempting to capture a machine-gun post which he had located, his patrol was discovered, and came under heavy fire, but he got all his men back safely. After the war, Reader-Blackton resumed playing for Derbyshire. He played two matches in 1920 in which he was out for 1 in each of his four innings and with a score of 1 in his first match in 1921 became the first player to be dismissed for 1 in five consecutive first-class innings. Against Gloucestershire in 1921 he took a rare bowling spell and achieved 3 for 40. He concluded his first-class career after his five matches in 1921. Reader-Blackton was a right-hand batsman and played 15 innings in eight first-class matches with an average of 7.64 and a top score of 31 not out. He was a right-arm medium pace bowler and took 5 first-class wickets at an average of 16.20 and a best performance of 3 for 40. Reader-Blackton married at Leek in 1922 and died at Derby, at the age of 80.

Third Bardor Tulku Rinpoche

The Third Bardor Tulku Rinpoche () is a Tibetan Buddhist teacher, a holder of the religious lineage of Terchen Barway Dorje. Rinpoche is the founder of a Tibetan Buddhist center, Kunzang Palchen Ling, and the Raktrul Foundation, in Red Hook, New York. Biography Born in 1949 in Kham, East Tibet, the Third Bardor Tulku Rinpoche is believed, according to Tibetan Buddhist tradition, to be a rebirth of a nineteenth/twentieth century meditation master, Terchen Barway Dorje (1836-1920). After the failed 1959 Tibetan uprising, Rinpoche and his family left Tibet for India. The journey on foot over the Himalayas and later the tropical climate of Assam killed Rinpoche's family. Rinpoche eventually traveled to Darjeeling where the 16th Karmapa (1924-1981) found him and arranged for him to be taken to Rumtek Monastery in Sikkim. The Third Bardor Tulku Rinpoche is mentioned among the prominent lamas of the Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. He underwent his training as a tulku (reincarnate lama) under the tutelage of the 16th Karmapa at Rumtek Monastery. He remained close to the Karmapa throughout his life, serving as his attendant and traveling with him overseas. At his request, he stayed in the United States to help Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche and Mr. Tenzin Chonyi establish the Karmapa’s Seat in North America, Karma Triyana Dharmachakra. Rinpoche started teaching in the West in 1980s. He has taught at KTD and its affiliates, at other Buddhist centers in the United States and abroad, as well lectured at universities and other venues. Some of his teachings have been published as books and DVDs. In 2000, Bardor Tulku Rinpoche established the Raktrul Foundation and in 2003 a Tibetan Buddhist center, Kunzang Palchen Ling (KPL), in Red Hook, New York. A ceremony of a symbolic breaking of the ground for the new building at KPL was held in 2006. In the fall of 2008, Bardor Tulku Rinpoche resigned from his responsibilities at KTD and is now focusing fully on the activities of KPL. In February 2012, Bardor Tulku Rinpoche’s vision for the new center became reality as KPL received the Certificate of Occupancy for the first floor of its new building. KPL is a Buddhist center that offers teachings from the rich and diverse Tibetan Buddhist tradition. One of the significant traits of KPL's activity is providing access to and the preservation of the treasure (terma) teachings of Terchen Barway Dorje and the teachings of the Barom Kagyu lineage. In addition to overseeing translations of Terchen Barway Dorje's treasure teachings into English, Bardor Tulku Rinpoche himself composes liturgies and songs (dohas). Rinpoche also guides the activities of Kunzang Chöling centers affiliated with KPL and Palchen Study Groups in the U.S. Bardor Tulku Rinpoche travels and teaches across the U.S. His teaching schedule can be found on the KPL website.

Chichibu Railway Class DeKi 500

The is a Bo-Bo wheel arrangement DC electric locomotive type operated by the private railway operator Chichibu Railway in Saitama Prefecture, Japan, primarily on freight services, since 1973. , all of the original seven locomotives are in operation. History The first two locomotives, DeKi 501 and 502, were built in 1973, based on the earlier Class DeKi 300 design. These locomotives were finished in then-standard blue Chichibu Railway livery from new, as opposed to the brown livery initially carried by earlier classes. Locomotives DeKi 503 and 504 were delivered in March 1979 ahead of the opening of the Mikajiru Freight Line in October of the same year. These locomotives had larger cab end windows and sunvisors above the cab windows. The last three locomotives of the class, DeKi 505 to 507 were delivered in 1980. DeKi 507 is unique among the class in being privately owned by Taiheiyo Cement, and its introduction in 1980 allowed the similarly privately owned DeKi 101 to be transferred to Chichibu Railway ownership.

Modal analysis using FEM

The goal of modal analysis in structural mechanics is to determine the natural mode shapes and frequencies of an object or structure during free vibration. It is common to use the finite element method (FEM) to perform this analysis because, like other calculations using the FEM, the object being analyzed can have arbitrary shape and the results of the calculations are acceptable. The types of equations which arise from modal analysis are those seen in eigensystems. The physical interpretation of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors which come from solving the system are that they represent the frequencies and corresponding mode shapes. Sometimes, the only desired modes are the lowest frequencies because they can be the most prominent modes at which the object will vibrate, dominating all the higher frequency modes. It is also possible to test a physical object to determine its natural frequencies and mode shapes. This is called an Experimental Modal Analysis. The results of the physical test can be used to calibrate a finite element model to determine if the underlying assumptions made were correct (for example, correct material properties and boundary conditions were used). FEA eigensystems For the most basic problem involving a linear elastic material which obeys Hooke's Law, the matrix equations take the form of a dynamic three-dimensional spring mass system. The generalized equation of motion is given as: where is the mass matrix, is the 2nd time derivative of the displacement (i.e., the acceleration), is the velocity, is a damping matrix, is the stiffness matrix, and is the force vector. The general problem, with nonzero damping, is a quadratic eigenvalue problem. However, for vibrational modal analysis, the damping is generally ignored, leaving only the 1st and 3rd terms on the left hand side: This is the general form of the eigensystem encountered in structural engineering using the FEM. To represent the free-vibration solutions of the structure harmonic motion is assumed, so that is taken to equal , where is an eigenvalue (with units of reciprocal time squared, e.g., ), and the equation reduces to: In contrast, the equation for static problems is: which is expected when all terms having a time derivative are set to zero. Comparison to linear algebra In linear algebra, it is more common to see the standard form of an eigensystem which is expressed as: Both equations can be seen as the same because if the general equation is multiplied through by the inverse of the mass, , it will take the form of the latter. Because the lower modes are desired, solving the system more likely involves the equivalent of multiplying through by the inverse of the stiffness, , a process called inverse iteration. When this is done, the resulting eigenvalues, , relate to that of the original by: but the eigenvectors are the same.

FMA IA 58 Pucará

The FMA IA 58 Pucará () is an Argentine ground-attack and counter-insurgency (COIN) aircraft manufactured by the Fábrica Militar de Aviones. It is a low-wing twin-turboprop all-metal monoplane with retractable landing gear, capable of operating from unprepared strips when operationally required. The type saw action during the Falklands War and the Sri Lankan Civil War. Development In August 1966, Dirección Nacional de Fabricación e Investigación Aeronáutica (DINFIA), the Argentine state aircraft factory began development of the AX-2, a Counter-insurgency (COIN) aircraft to meet a requirement of the Argentine Air Force. The project was promoted by engineer Ricardo Olmedo and became under the guidance of engineer Aníbal Dreidemie, who also designed the IA-52 Guaraní II and the IA-63 Pampa. The chosen layout was a low-wing monoplane powered by two turboprop engines mounted in wing-mounted nacelles and fitted with a T-tail. In order to test the proposed layout, DINFIA first built a full-scale unpowered glider test vehicle, which flew for the first time on 26 December 1967. Testing of the glider showed no major handling problems, and in September 1968, construction began on a powered prototype, given the designation FMA IA 58 Delfín, but later renamed Pucará, to be powered by a pair of Garrett TPE331I/U-303 engines. (DINFIA had been renamed the Fábrica Militar de Aviones (FMA) earlier that year). The first prototype made its maiden flight on 20 August 1969, with a second prototype, with power switching to Turbomeca Astazou XVIGs, following on 6 September 1970. The first prototype was later re-engined with the Astazou, this engine being chosen for the production version, and a third production prototype followed in 1973. The first production model flew on 8 November 1974, with deliveries beginning in early 1976. At least three projects were related to the IA-58 development. The first was an extended Pucará airframe with pressurized cabin for six passengers, equipped with Astafan turbofan engines for light transport and photography duties. The second was an observation and reconnaissance aircraft having the same configuration as the Fairchild-Republic A-10. The third was denominated IA-60 and was an advanced trainer and light attack platform powered by two Astafans conserving the basic airframe and canopy of the Pucará with T-tail incorporating high wings. Some tests were made on wind tunnels but no further development was made in order to proceed with the IA-63 Pampa program. Design The IA 58 Pucará is of conventional, all-metal (mainly duralumin) construction. The unswept cantilever wings have 7 degrees of dihedral on the outer panels and are fitted with slotted trailing-edge flaps. The IA-58 has a slender fuselage, with a tandem cockpit arrangement; the crew of two is seated under the upward opening clamshell canopy on Martin-Baker Mk 6AP6A zero/zero ejection seats and are provided with dual controls and good visibility, at least in the lateral and front quarters. The clean aerodynamic design allow the Pucará to reach relatively high speed, higher than the American OV-10 Bronco, another COIN aircraft. On the other hand, the IA 58 has no cargo bay inside the fuselage as requested for the American aircraft. Armour plating is

Kayah (singer)

Katarzyna Magdalena Szczot (born on 5 November 1967 in Warsaw), professionally known as Kayah, is a Polish singer-songwriter. In 1995, she released her first self-composed album Kamień and established herself as one of the most successful Polish singers with the subsequent releases of Zebra (1997) and Kayah i Bregović (1999). In the early 2000s, Kayah founded her own label, Kayax, which has signed many successful artists and released numerous critically acclaimed albums. She has sold more than one million copies of her records so far and remains one of the most awarded artists by the Polish music industry. Career Kayah was born in Warsaw, but grew up in Białystok. Her father is Jewish. At the start of her career, Kayah sang in choirs and recorded backing vocals for a number of bands, such as Tilt. She made her solo debut with the song "Córeczko" (Little Daughter) in 1988 at the National Festival of Polish Song in Opole. The same year, her first full-length eponymous album was released. It was a commercial and artistic disappointment and today is not included in Kayah official discography. She released her first self-produced solo album, Kamień (Stone), in 1995. It was a great success, consisting of melancholy pop songs, deriving from soul and jazz traditions. In the same year, she was voted the Vocalist of the Year by the Polish music industry and received a Fryderyk award in recognition of her achievements. In 1997, she received another three Fryderyks, this time for the album Zebra as well as in the categories of Singer and Composer of the Year. With Zebra she changed her style, moving in the direction of American soul/funk music. The album spawned two hits, "Na językach" (Tongues wagging) and "Supermenka" (Superwoman). In 1999, Kayah paired with the Yugoslav composer Goran Bregović to record what would become one of the most popular Polish albums ever, entitled Kayah i Bregović. Most of the music was composed by Bregović for the band Bijelo Dugme (White Button), which he had been a part of, and for movie soundtracks that he had worked on. The lyrics were both translations of and inspired by the original texts. The first two singles released from the album, "Śpij kochanie, śpij" (Sleep, my love, sleep) and "Prawy do lewego" (From right to left), became massive hits in Poland for many months and the record went on to sell in excess of 700,000 copies. In the same year Kayah was awarded another Fryderyk, in the category Vocalist of the Year. In 2000, she released the album Jaka ja Kayah (Kayah, like me) which featured pop, jazz and techno-influenced songs. She paired with Cesária Évora for a track "Embarcacao", sung in Crioulo, from the re-release of the album, newly entitled YakaYaKayah. Her next album, Stereo typ, was issued in August 2003 and featured a major hit single, "Testosteron". The record was nominated for 7 Fryderyk awards and in the autumn Kayah embarked on her Stereo Tour to promote the new album. 2005 saw the release of her first compilation, The Best & the Rest, a

Latin American Diet Pyramid

The Latin American Diet Pyramid is a nutrition guide that was developed by Oldways and scientific advisers from the Harvard School of Public Health, the Baylor College of Medicine, and the Latin American Summit Scientific Committee in 2005. It is a tradition-based diet that suggests the types and frequency of foods that should be enjoyed every day. This pyramid is based on two distinct historical periods of the culinary evolution of the peoples of the South American continent. The first period describes the dietary traditions of regions inhabited primarily by three high cultures of aboriginal Latin Americans: the Aztec, the Inca, and the Maya. The second period describes the dietary traditions that emerged following the arrival of Columbus, at about 1500, to the present time. The dietary patterns followed today by the people of Latin America find their roots in both of these historical culinary patterns. The selection of these peoples and of these time periods as a basis for the design follows from these considerations: A consistency with patterns of other healthy population groups of the world; Availability of data describing the character of food consumption patterns of the areas at that time; and The convergence of the dietary patterns revealed by these data and our current understanding of optimal nutrition based on world-wide epidemiological studies and clinical trials. Variations of these diets have traditionally existed in other parts of Central America, South America, the Caribbean, and the southern edge United States. For the purposes of this research, the aforementioned regions are considered as part of Latin America. They are closely related to traditional areas of maize, potato, peanut, and dry bean cultivation in the Latin American region. Given these carefully defined parameters of geography and time, the phrase traditional Latin American diet is used here as a shorthand for those traditional diets of these regions and peoples during two specific time periods that are historically associated with good health. The design of the Latin American Diet Pyramid is not based solely on either the weight or the percentage of energy (calories) that foods account for in the diet, but on a blend of these that is meant to give relative proportions and a general sense of frequency of servings, as well as an indication of which foods to favour in a healthy Latin American-style diet.

Unconstitutional trademark acts

The United States justified its original attempt at establishing federal trademarks by pointing to the Copyright Clause in the Constitution. The Trade Mark Act of 1870 (within the Copyright Act of 1870) and the Trade Mark Act of 1876 were tested in a series of United States Supreme Court cases, called the Trade-Mark Cases, and ruled unconstitutional because that clause did not cover trademarks. Before being ruled unconstitutional, they were the subjects of other Supreme Court cases: Delaware & Hudson Canal Co. v. Clark, Amoskeag Manufacturing Co. v. D. Trainer & Sons, and McLean v. Fleming. The Trade Mark Act of 1881, instead, justified its authority under the Commerce Clause.

Janna Holmstedt

Janna Holmstedt (born 1972 in Gothenburg) is a Swedish artist based in Stockholm. She earned her MFA from the Umeå Academy of Fine Arts in 2004, and her recent awards include artist-in-residence at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in Omaha, Nebraska (2007), the IASPIS International Exchange (2006), a Swedish Visual Arts Fund Project Grant (2005), NIFCA Nordic Air Residency in Tallinn, Estonia (2005) and two grants from the JC Kempes Foundation (2003/2004). Together with Po Hagstrom, Holmstedt is part of artist duo Trial and Error , working with projects related to national identity and the use of public space. Holmstedt also co-founded SQUID , an online project which facilitates a space for the parallel knowledge that emerges from an investigative, creative process. Janna Holmstedt works with image, text, video and installation, usually in relation to a specific site and/or situation. She employs storytelling as a tool for critical engagement and as a way to deal with and make sense of the constant flow of information in everyday life. In her work, she seeks to situate a subject within a context that is not framed as an absolute truth or stable reality, but rather as a system that unfolds through a specific network where meanings are constructed. In her video- and sound installations involving voice-overs, Holmstedt focuses on the tension between an existentially defined "inner" space and that which we typically perceive as an "outer" space of politics and everyday life. She finds the borderland where these two fields meet, collide and interact - that is, where our sense of individuality and reality is represented - as the most interesting to investigate. Web based Projects Trial and Error external website Collaboration with Po Hagström, ongoing since 2005. Trial and Error work with projects related to national identity and the use of public space. The duo was formed in 2005 when the project ”Monument for the Masses” was first conceived, this in response to a huge monument which is going to be erected in Tallinn, Estonia. Trial-and-error is a method for solving problems and obtaining knowledge. Holmstedt and Hagström use it to scrutinize situations and concepts they find intriguing. The online project ”Monument for the Masses” consists of a proposal for a counter-monument to the city of Tallinn and a campaign to gain support for the proposal. At the website you find articles about how national heroes are constructed; French identity-soup; nation branding; the privatisation of public space; ruin value; the protests among the Taino people against a monument to Columbus in Puerto Rico, and much more. It is also possible to contribute to the Park for (Un)wanted Sculptures . This virtual sculpture park has been inspired by the Szobor Park in Hungary and is a growing archive of public art that for different reasons is unwanted.

Sheridan Park

Sheridan Park is a municipal park in the city of Cudahy, Wisconsin. Situated on the shore of Lake Michigan, the park has trees, shrubs, and other plants native to this region of Wisconsin. History The mayor of Cudahy, Wisconsin in 1913, Christ Woehsner, believed that a public park should be built on the shore of Lake Michigan. In a letter, he expressed his deep appreciation for the beauty that the area offered. The letter led to the purchase of land near the shore of Lake Michigan from the landowner, Patrick Cudahy. In 1914, the Public Park of Cudahy became an official park. In 1920, the name was changed to Sheridan Park in memory of Major-General Philip Henry Sheridan. Natural history Sheridan Park contains distinct natural areas. There are open fields, wooded areas, bluffs, beaches, and a pond. The area along the bluff contains plant species native to this part of Wisconsin.

1961 in Italian television

This is a list of Italian television related events of 1961. Events 18 January – The liberal Novello Papafava and the Christian Democrat Ettore Bernabei are nominated, respectively, President and General Director of RAI; Bernabei, faithful follower of Amintore Fanfani, will be the true master of the estate for thirteen years. At the beginning, his management is inspired to a line of prudent opening, softening the censure and giving space also to professionals (as Enzo Biagi and Ugo Gregoretti) not aligned with the DC. 1 October. - The socialist Enzo Biagi becomes director of the TV news; he renews the program, giving less space to internal politics and officialdom and more to chronicle and news from the world. This new deal arouses harsh polemics by the right-wing and, after a year, Biagi resigns. 4 November – The Second channel begins the broadcastings. This is the schedule of the first day. The new channel airs two hours by day (since 9 PM) and is received only by a half of the Italian population. 12 November. In the Council of ministers, Guido Gonella and Mario Scelba, exponents of the most conservative DC’s wing, attack fiercely the variety shows, the Enzo Biagi's TV journal and the Political tribune (see below) accusing RAI to “have put Togliatti and the ballerinas in the Italian families’ heart.” On “Il Verri”, the essay Mike Bongiorno’s phenomenology, by Umberto Eco, is published. The writing, despite its playful tone, is one of the first serious analyses of the television as social phenomenon. Debuts Serials Giovanna la nonna del corsaro nero (Giovanna the black corsair's grandmother) – four seasons; directed by Alda Grimaldi, written by Vittorio Metz, with Anna Campori. Cheerful parody of the pirates novels by Emilio Salgari, it was one of the most beloved shows for children of the Sixties; notwithstanding its success, all its tapes were deleted by RAI and now only some amateurish recording survives. Variety L’amico del giaguaro (The friend of the jaguar) – three seasons; directed by Vito Molinari, hosted by Corrado, with Marisa Del Frate, Gino Bramieri and Raffaele Pisu. Humoristic show, remembered moreover for its parodies of famous movies. Chissà chi lo sa? (Who knows who knows?) – seven seasons; quiz show for children, hosted by Febo Conti. Studio Uno (Studio One) – four seasons; directed by Antonello Falqui, hosted by Mina (in the second season she was temporarily replaced, because pregnant, by Rita Pavone) sided by Italian and international stars as Don Lurio, the Kessler twins, the Bluebell girls, Lelio Luttazzi and Luciano Salce. It's considered the masterpiece of the Italian TV variety, thanks moreover to the spectacular ballets, performed in minimalist scenography, to the Mina's talent, not only as singer but as entertainer too, and to the numerous guest stars. The Quartetto Cetra’s musical parodies get so much success to be developed in a separate show (The Studio One library). News and educational Tribuna politica (Political tribune) – political talk show, created after the success of Electoral tribune the previous year, hosted by Jader Jacobelli; in a press conference, a politician faces

Self-enucleation

Self-enucleation also known as autoenucleation or oedipism is the self-inflicted enucleation (removal) of the eye. It is considered a form of self-mutilation and is normally caused by psychosis, paranoid delusions or drugs. Between 1968 and 2018 there were more than 50 documented cases of "complete or partial self-enucleation in English medical journals". According to a 2012 study published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology, self-enucleation may be "considered to be the result of psycho-sexual conflicts". A particularly extreme form of self-mutilation, self-enucleations are rarely reported. History A famous case of self-enucleation can be founded in Greek mythology： Oedipus, according to Sophocles' tragedy Oedipus Rex, gouged his own eyes out after discovering he had married his mother. In the 13th century, Marco Polo witnessed a pious Baghdad carpenter who enucleated his right eye for sinful thoughts of a young female customer. On February 6, 2018, a 20-year old American teen mom Kaylee Muthart received national attention after she gouged both her eyes out while high on methamphetamine believing "sacrificing her eyes [would] save the world". Muthart is now permanently blind, though she said "I'm happier now than I was before all this happened".

Tortum Waterfall

The Tortum Waterfall is the largest waterfall in Turkey. Since the completion of the Tortum Dam and Hydroelectric Plant in 1960, water is drawn from Tortum Lake through channels and tunnels, and allowed to rush down into the turbines. The waterfall is fed only from the surplus water and thus now functions only for a very short period during the months of May and June when the water level of the lake is exceptionally high. During the other months the bed of the waterfall is almost dry. The lake and waterfall are located in the Tortum district, north of Erzurum in Eastern Anatolia Region. Tortum Lake The lake, long and wide, was formed as the result of a landslide, which blocked the valley though which the Tortum River flowed. At the same time, the water sought a new outlet over a fault with a drop of . The hollow left in the Kemerlidağ slope on the left of the valley by the fall of rock is still clearly visible. Tortum Lake is surrounded by limestone marls of the Cretaceous period. Earth pillars can be seen on the eastern shores of the lake. The view of the lake from the steep slopes along the edge is scenic. The maximum depth of the lake is . The lake lies about above sea level. Some geologists claim that this landslide is a very old one. These experts, among whom are to be counted a number of foreign geologists, believe that the landslide took place at the end of the Quaternary period. Other opinions state that the landslide is comparatively recent and occurred only a few centuries ago. A recreation area around the waterfall with an observation platform allows visitors a close sightline to the waterfall. A staircase leads underneath the waterfall. After the waterfall (with its drop of ), the river flows over a series of cascades until its arrival in the Tev Valley. Smaller lakes Four small lakes were formed on the rubble from the landslide by water seeping from underground through the material from the rock fall. The water of these lakes is remarkably clear and blue. These four lakes, Incegöl, Karagöl, Efendigilin Gölü and Nazlıgilin Gölü, contain large quantities of trout.

Troldkirken

Troldkirken is a Stone Age long barrow, situated near the village of Sønderholm, Denmark. The long barrow was constructed at some point during the Funnelbeaker culture 5–6.000 years ago and is marked out by forty-seven megaliths. Placed on the top of the barrow, is a polygonal chambered dolmen, with a large capstone. The whole monument is some 50 metres long. The name Troldkirken means both Church of the Troll and Church of Sorcery in Danish. There are several tumuli and dolmens in the area. The barrow is a protected site since 1809 and was one of the first pre-historic relics, to be protected by law in Denmark. Today The Historical Museum of Northern Jutland in Aalborg attends the barrow. Myths There are several myths surrounding Troldkirken and its peculiar name. One of them states that it appeared, when nearby trolls was angered by the noisy church bells in Sønderholm Church. They grabbed some huge stones and threw them at the church, but missed. Another story tells that a man once witnessed "the subterraneans" conduct a form of ceremony inside the dolmen. Sources and references Svend Aa.

Scottish Central Railway

The Scottish Central Railway was formed in 1845 to link Perth and Stirling to Central Scotland, by building a railway line to join the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway near Castlecary. The line opened in 1848 including a branch to South Alloa. The line immediately became part of the forming trunk railway network in Scotland, and amalgamation with other railways was considered, and in 1865 the Scottish Central Railway amalgamated with the Caledonian Railway. The main line continues in use today as a major part of the Scottish Railway network carrying frequent passenger services and a significant freight traffic. History Conception In earlier years Perth had been an important trading town, but in the 1830s its significance was being overshadowed by the cities of central Scotland. There were short local railways in the area around Dundee, but connection to the emerging network further south, and potentially in England, seemed to be essential, and proposals were put forward from 1841 to achieve that. The opening of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway (E&GR) in 1842 emphasised the need, and a railway connection from Perth to join the E&GR was an expedient way to satisfy it. In fact the early objective was to connect at the north end with the Dundee and Newtyle Railway, which had opened in 1831. A meeting took place on 24 February 1844 to move the matter forward and a prospectus was issued in the following month. By April 1844 there were references to the Central Railway, and E&GR agreement to making a connection was reported; the Caledonian Railway too was becoming a reality, as the prime connection between central Scotland and the English network, and connection to the Caledonian would give that added access. The Caledonian saw the synergy of a linkage with the Scottish Central and proposed an alliance, offering to pay certain Parliamentary and other expenses. The Caledonian policy was aggressive expansion (even though it had not yet obtained authorisation for its first line); the price was that the Scottish Central would permanently ally with the Caledonian and give the Caley primacy as far north as Stirling. The SCR declined the offer. Surveys of the route were carried out, and a route selected following the present-day main line from Larbert to Perth, except for the location of the Perth station; and there was to be a branch line to Crieff. The Bill for the line went to the 1845 session of Parliament, and the Scottish Central Railway obtained its Act on 31 July 1845. The engineers for the line were Joseph Locke and John Edward Errington. Negotiations When determining its route, the SCR had assumed friendly terms with the E&GR would give it access to Glasgow over their line; but the E&GR had opposed the SCR Bill in Parliament, having its own designs on reaching Stirling. The newly incorporated SCR therefore negotiated with the Caledonian, also newly incorporated. The Caledonian proposed to enter Glasgow from the south over the Glasgow, Garnkirk and Coatbridge Railway, a renamed and modernised incarnation of the early Garnkirk and Glasgow Railway.

Achille Brocot (pronounced "broco") (11 July 1817 – 19 January 1878) was a French clockmaker and amateur mathematician. He is known for his discovery (contemporaneously with, but independently of, German number theorist Moritz Stern) of the Stern–Brocot tree, a mathematical structure useful in approximating real numbers by rational numbers; this sort of approximation is an important part of the design of gear ratios for clocks. Several improvements in clock design was attributed to Brocot. He invented the "Brocot Suspension", which enabled time keeping to be regulated by altering the length of the pendulum suspension spring by a key turned in the dial. He also made many practical horological innovations including refinement of his father Louis-Gabriel's Brocot escapement and the development of clocks with perpetual calendar mechanisms. In order to commercially exploit his original designs, together with Jean-Baptiste Delettrez he established the clockmaking company "Brocot & Delettrez" in Paris on 20 October 1851, a partnership that would continue until his death.

Norman Dodd

Norman Dodd (June 29, 1899 – January 1987) born in New Jersey, was a banker/bank manager, worked as a financial advisor and served as chief investigator in 1953 for U.S. Congressman B. Carroll Reece Special Committee on Tax Exempt Foundations (commonly referred to as the Reece Committee). He was primarily known for his controversial investigation into tax-exempt foundations. Norman Dodd was interviewed by the journalist G. Edward Griffin just before he died and an interview documentary was produced as a result which has gained a very wide audience in later years. Early life Norman Dodd was born in New Jersey. He attended private schools including Phillips Academy (known simply as Andover) finishing in 1918 and later graduated from Yale University. He was, by his own words, an indefatigable reader. He worked in manufacturing before devoting himself to banking. During or after the 1929 stock market crash he was assigned by his superiors the task of restructuring the bank he was working at, after a period of which he recommended what at the time was referred to as "sound banking". He was told by his superiors that his recommendations would not be implemented because "we will never see sound banking in the United States again". Tax-exempt foundations Dodd's claims about his investigative work have become the cornerstone of theories implicating the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Ford Foundation, and the Rockefeller Foundation, among others. He stated in his findings that many foundations were intentionally campaigning to involve the United States in such wars as World War I and that they also sought ways to warp American teaching of history through explicit control of the education system in the United States. Rene Wormser, the legal counsel to the Reece Committee, wrote in his 1958 book on the subject, "It is difficult for the public to understand that some of the great foundations which have done so much for us in some fields have acted tragically against the public interest in others, but the facts are there for the unprejudiced to recognize."

Monetary hawk and dove

A monetary hawk, or hawk for short, is someone who advocates keeping inflation low as the top priority in monetary policy. In contrast, a monetary dove is someone who emphasizes other issues, especially low unemployment, over low inflation. The two terms are commonly used in the United States to describe members and nominees to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, who have major influence on United States monetary policy in their roles as Federal Reserve Governors and as members of the Federal Open Market Committee. The terms are also used outside of the United States, in places such as the United Kingdom and India. The term "pigeon" has been used to describe individuals who take positions between those of hawks and doves, although the term "centrist" is also used. Doves generally are more in favor of expansionary monetary policy, including low interest rates, while hawks tend to favor "tight" monetary policy. For example, doves in the United States tend to favor quantitative easing, seeing it as a way to stimulate the economy, while hawks tend to oppose quantitative easing, seeing it as a distortion of asset markets. Additionally, hawks tend to project higher future inflation, and hence see more risk from inflation and a greater need for tight monetary policies, while doves tend to predict lower future inflation, and hence see more need for expansionary monetary policies. An individual can be a hawk in some cases and a dove in others. For example, Janet Yellen was described as a hawk during the economic boom of the 1990s, but was usually described as a dove when she was nominated to the position of Chair of the Federal Reserve. Additionally, the label of "hawk" and "dove" may be applied differently depending on the point of view. The hawk–dove dichotomy has been criticized as overly simplistic, especially in times of deflation or low inflation. For example, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard has been described as a "deflation hawk" for favoring policies that would raise inflation to a target of 2 percent per year. Washington Post columnist Neil Irwin used the term "bubble hawk" to describe those who focus on using monetary policy to fight financial bubbles.

Polizia Postale e delle Comunicazioni

The Polizia Postale e delle Comunicazioni (Postal and Communications Police) is one of the units of the Polizia di Stato, the State Police of Italy. Its functions include the investigation of cybercrime. History PolTel has been created in 1981 as a special department of the Polizia di Stato in order to ensure safety, prevention and the repression of crimes on the field of the Italian Ministry of mail and telecommunications. Initially, it oversaw postal offices and protected armoured trucks during operations of valuables transport. The personnel was active in vigilance services for money and valuables transport operated by Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane, along with the railroad police (Polfer). After a privatization process in Italy and the foundation of Poste Italiane S.p.A. in 1998, the police service has been renamed in "Polizia Postale e delle Comunicazioni". Following the reform of the public security administration, the Postal and Communications Police has become a cutting-edge "special division" of the State Police against cybercrimes, respecting the constitutional values of privacy and freedom. Organization The interministerial decree issued on 19 January 1999 describes the postal police as the "central body of the Ministry of the Interior for its security and the telecommunications services regularity": The postal and communications police service, with its headquarters in Rome, co-ordinates 20 divisions located in every regional administrative centre (like Milan, Florence, Naples, etc.), except for the Aosta Valley which belongs to Turin's department. Sicily is divided in two departments with their headquarters located in Palermo (Sicilia Occidentale) and Catania (Sicilia Orientale) The departments have regional competence and generally they are directed by a First executive of the State Police. Departments coordinate in turn the sections inside their territory There are 76 sections of PolTel and each of them has provincial competence, under the direction of Inspectors. Tasks PolTel represents the branch of the Italian Police specialized in prevention, control and repression of all the penal and administrative crimes belonging to the communication field, criminal activities on the internet and cybercrime in general. According to the law, it has an exclusive on struggling against online child pornography. PolTel operates closely with the Autorità per le garanzie nelle comunicazioni (AGCOM) and the regional communication inspectorates of the Ministry of Economic Development. PolTel has signed agreements with agencies and companies as Poste Italiane, Associazione Bancaria Italiana, GSE S.p.a (Gestore dei servizi energetici), Ferrovie dello Stato, hospitals, etc. PolTel performs judicial investigation for all the cybercrimes added by time into the Italian penal code, and for all crimes committed through more recent IT. Judicial police activity is not exclusively a web-intelligence one (monitoring chat lines, newsgroup, social network, etc), but it is also competent in: hacking (intrusions, computer damages), telephony (fixed and mobile, VoIP), privacy, eventually author's rights and copyright (videos, music, pay-tv), e-commerce, surveillance over radio and TV frequencies, frauds related to home banking, political subversion, terrorism, illegal trades of drugs, weapons and explosives, or every traditional crime that have a computer as a target or medium. High competence on cybercrimes Ministry of Interior's decree issued in 28 April 2006 says that: Competences of

Spirit AeroSystems

Spirit AeroSystems, Inc. ("Spirit"), based in Wichita, Kansas, is the world's largest first-tier aerostructures manufacturer. The company builds several important pieces of Boeing aircraft, including the fuselage of the 737, portions of the 787 fuselage, and the cockpit section of the fuselage (referred to as "Section 41" by Boeing) of nearly all of its airliners. Spirit also produces fuselage sections and front wing spars for the Airbus A350. Spirit's main competition comes from Triumph Aerostructures - Vought Aircraft Division, Collins Aerospace, Leonardo, and Kawasaki Heavy Industries. History Spirit was formed when Boeing Commercial Airplanes sold its Wichita division to investment firm Onex. Boeing Defense, Space & Security retained its military business in Wichita, which lay on neighboring land, until Boeing sold most of those properties to Air Capital Flight Line. The Wichita division was responsible for construction of many important aircraft in Boeing's history, including the B-29 Superfortress, B-47 Stratojet, and B-52 Stratofortress. Spirit can trace its legacy back even further to Stearman Aircraft, which was founded on the same site; Stearman later became part of Boeing. Spirit also includes North American Aviation's former Tulsa and McAlester facilities (both in Oklahoma), as well as additional facilities in Kinston, NC, Prestwick, Scotland, Saint-Nazaire, France, and Subang, Malaysia. In June 2016, it was announced that Tom Gentile was named CEO, replacing Larry Lawson. Acquisitions On January 31, 2006, BAE Systems announced it had agreed to sell its aerostructures business, based at Glasgow Prestwick Airport and Samlesbury Aerodrome, to Spirit. The BAE unit, which was renamed Spirit AeroSystems (Europe) Ltd., is a major supplier to Raytheon (5%), Airbus (80%), and Boeing (15%). The transaction was completed on April 1, 2006. Spirit paid GBP 80 million for the business. On October 31, 2019, Spirit acquired Bombardier Aviation's aerostructures activities and aftermarket services operations in Northern Ireland (Short Brothers) and Morocco, and its aerostructures maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility in Dallas. The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2020 subject to regulatory approval. The deal gives Spirit a bigger place in Airbus' supply chain, in particular with the wings for the Airbus A220 that are produced in the Belfast plant. Spirit AeroSystems In 2010, 96% of Spirit's revenue came from its two largest customers: 85% of sales were from Boeing, 11% from Airbus. In 2009 these two customers represented 96% of sales for Spirit as well. After planning to take Spirit public, at initial public offering on November 21, 2006, the firm's stock rose 10% on the first day. In November 2006, Onex owned 58% of Spirit, which resulted in 92% of voting power, as its shares conferred "supervoting" power. The chief architect of the Onex purchase of Spirit was Nigel S. Wright, who was later Chief of Staff for the Canadian Prime Minister until his resignation as part of an expense scandal. In August 2014 the Onex Group sold all of its remaining shares of Spirit. Over the course of the nine-year investment, the Onex Group received aggregate proceeds of approximately $3.2 billion on its initial $375 million investment. Former House

Martin measure

In descriptive set theory, the Martin measure is a filter on the set of Turing degrees of sets of natural numbers, named after Donald A. Martin. Under the axiom of determinacy it can be shown to be an ultrafilter. Definition Let be the set of Turing degrees of sets of natural numbers. Given some equivalence class , we may define the cone (or upward cone) of as the set of all Turing degrees such that ; that is, the set of Turing degrees which are "more complex" than under Turing reduction. We say that a set of Turing degrees has measure 1 under the Martin measure exactly when contains some cone. Since it is possible, for any , to construct a game in which player I has a winning strategy exactly when contains a cone and in which player II has a winning strategy exactly when the complement of contains a cone, the axiom of determinacy implies that the measure-1 sets of Turing degrees form an ultrafilter. Consequences It is easy to show that a countable intersection of cones is itself a cone; the Martin measure is therefore a countably complete filter. This fact, combined with the fact that the Martin measure may be transferred to by a simple mapping, tells us that is measurable under the axiom of determinacy. This result shows part of the important connection between determinacy and large cardinals. References Category:Descriptive set theory Category:Determinacy Category:Computability theory

The Northshore Regional Endowment For The Arts

The Northshore Regional Endowment For The Arts (NREA) is a non-profit organization in Louisiana, USA that offers opportunities in music and art education for local youth, and promotes local artists and musicians through a number of programs. The organization has hosted an annual music and arts festival, the Strawberry Jam'n Toast To The Arts since 2001. In 2008 the endowment started the JamFest Indie Film Festival. It also works with schools to provide music education to local students, and assists local artists and musicians in promotion and marketing. History The Endowment was formed in June 2001 by Ted J. Hudspeth, Sr., MD, a family practice physician at Ochsner Clinic Foundation in Hammond, Louisiana. The NREA was formed soon after the first Strawberry Jam'n Toast to the Arts Festival. Festivals Jam'n toast festival The Strawberry Jam'n Toast To The Arts Festival is a music and art festival held each year by the Northshore Endowment since 2001. Entry to the festival is a small donation and proceeds of the festival go toward funding other programs in the Northshore Regional Endowment for the Arts. In 2001, working with the Ponchatoula Chamber of Commerce, NREA founder Ted Hudspeth held the first festival, which hosted 40 bands and performers on 6 different stages and 26 artists on the streets of downtown Ponchatoula. The 2010 festival was held in Hammond, Louisiana. Festival performances include rock, easy listening and gospel groups, as well as dance and drama groups, artist demonstrations and craft booths, and a children's art tent. JamFest independent film festival Founded in 2008, and held annually each September in Hammond, Louisiana, JamFest Indie Film Festival began as a regional film event that sought to inspire local independent filmmakers with limited funds. Now expanding to include national and international independent filmmakers, JamFest seeks to recognize film excellence internationally. All proceeds from the event first go towards filmmaker awards. The remaining funds are directed into the Northshore Regional Endowment for the Arts. School programs Working with the Community Music School at Southeastern Louisiana University under the direction of Dr. Thais Perkins, in 2004 the Endowment sponsored a direct teaching project. A music educator went to 3 different parish schools to instruct students on stringed instruments. This included teaching the differences between various musical styles that the stringed instruments can be used in. The lessons were capped off by performances in the schools by string musicians. The NREA sponsors the enrollment of 5th graders in the Ponchatoula school district in the Recorder Music Program at Ponchatoula Jr. High School. It supplies recorders, CD's and music for the students to take a semester of music with the music educator. The Endowment provided the seed money for the Kim Howes Zabbia Art Education Endowment, which will be invested in the art education classes in the Ponchatoula School District at the High School and Junior High School levels. The Northshore Endowment has supported a number of other smaller local projects: Purchased computer for the 'talented and gifted' art program and paid for art supplies used in the program that serves 10 public schools
