William Temple Franklin

William Temple Franklin, known as Temple Franklin, (22 February 1760, in London – 25 May 1823, in Paris) was an American diplomat and real estate speculator. He is best known for his involvement with the American diplomatic mission in France during the American Revolutionary War. Beginning at the age of 16, he served as secretary to his grandfather Benjamin Franklin, who negotiated and agreed to the Franco-American Alliance. The younger Franklin was also secretary for the American delegation that negotiated United States independence at the Treaty of Paris in 1783. He returned to Philadelphia with his grandfather afterward. Finding his prospects limited in the United States, he later returned to Europe, where he lived mostly in France. Early life and education William Temple Franklin, called Temple, was born in 1760, the illegitimate (and only) son of William Franklin, notably illegitimate as well, who sired him while a law student in London. His mother is unknown, and the infant was placed in foster care. His father William was the illegitimate but acknowledged son of Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, and raised in his household. William Temple Franklin's middle name is said to have been derived from his having been conceived while his father was studying at the Middle Temple. Later in 1762, William married "respectably", to Elizabeth Downes in London, the daughter of a wealthy Barbados planter. After passing the bar, he returned to North America, but he continued to pay for the upkeep and later education of Temple. In 1763, with the aid of his father Benjamin Franklin, William Franklin was appointed as the last colonial governor of New Jersey and went to North America. He left Temple in foster care. William's position as a Loyalist later put him at odds with his father, and they broke permanently over it. William Franklin was imprisoned during the Revolution and afterward forced into exile in Britain. Benjamin Franklin learned of his grandson Temple (his only grandson through the male line) while on an extended mission in London, when the boy was about four. He became fond of the young boy, but at first did not tell him of his full identity. He eventually took over custody, returning with the youth to the United States in 1775, and acknowledging their blood relation. A widower by then, Franklin raised the boy in his household. Paris Temple, as he was generally known, accompanied his grandfather Benjamin Franklin to France in late 1776. From the age of 16, he worked as secretary to the American diplomatic mission during the American Revolution. Benjamin hoped the trip would round out Temple's education. Along with his cousin Benjamin Franklin Bache, Temple was educated further in France and Switzerland. A bon vivant, Temple received his highest public appointment as Secretary to the American delegation at the Treaty of Paris in 1782 – 1783, largely through the influence of his grandfather. He never again attained a significant political post in the United States. Benjamin Franklin unsuccessfully lobbied Congress in the hope that Temple would be given a

Mobivox

Mobivox was an international calling service utilizing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) to bring reduced rate calling to those that register as Mobivox users. Mobivox combines VoIP and IVR to create a new telephony product. This is a direct challenge to Skype as Mobivox uses many of the same principles of Skype, but works without additional hardware or software. Mobivox further distinguishes itself with its IVR component dubbed "VoxGirl" and its suite of supporting features. Founders and history Mobivox has been founded by two entrepreneurs, Eric Reiher and Christian Varin (today at the head of Fédération des inventeurs du Québec that received signifiant media attention after accusations of fraud). Mobivox began its operations in Montréal early spring of 2007, having previously existed as VoxLib. Mobivox later opened an office in Boston, MA. The full beta launch of the new Mobivox calling system occurred in May 2007, and just a few months later, in October 2007, Mobivox received an eleven million dollar investment from a group of venture capital funds led by the Boston, China, and Vietnam branches of IDG Ventures, Skypoint Capital, and Brightspark. Mobivox was named as a finalist for the 2008 Webware 100 Awards. Features Mobivox offers several features which are available to registered users. Mobivox maintains a contact list for every user available whenever they access their account. Other features include "Instant Conferencing," "Group Calls," "Mobile to Home Call Transfer," contacts importing, "GiftVOX," and the "Call Me" button. "Instant Conferencing" allows a caller to add up to nine people to any call. The "Group Calling" feature can be used to originate calls with up to nine different numbers. "Mobile to Home Transfers" lets a caller transfer an ongoing call on their mobile phone to their home or office phone." Using the Mobivox website, a user can import contacts from Gmail, Outlook, or Skype. "GiftVOX" enables a user to sign up their friends or family as users, add contacts to their contact list, and to provide credits to those accounts. The "Call Me" button can be embedded into email, websites, blogs, or social network profiles. The button is used to initiate a call between anyone and the user without revealing the user's phone number. Impact Mobivox has transferred VoIP technology to mobile devices using Mobile VoIP.. Leadership Mobivox's Board of Directors includes David Aronoff of IDG Ventures as General Partner Acquisition Mobivox has been acquired by Sabse Technologies Inc. in September 2009.

1995 British Grand Prix

The 1995 British Grand Prix (formally the XLVIII British Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on 16 July 1995 at Silverstone Circuit, Silverstone, Northamptonshire, England. It was the eighth round of the 1995 Formula One season. The 61-lap race was won by Johnny Herbert for the Benetton team after he started from fifth position. Jean Alesi finished second in a Ferrari, with David Coulthard third in a Williams car. The remaining points-scoring positions were filled by Olivier Panis (Ligier), Mark Blundell (McLaren) and Heinz-Harald Frentzen (Sauber). Herbert's victory was his first in Formula One, and the Benetton team's fifth of the season. The race was dominated, however, by the fight between World Drivers' Championship protagonists, Michael Schumacher (Benetton) and Damon Hill (Williams). Hill, who started from a pole position achieved during qualifying sessions held in variable weather conditions, retained his lead during the opening stages of the race whilst Schumacher, who was alongside him on the starting grid, fell behind Alesi in the run to the first corner. Despite being held up behind the slower Ferrari until it made a pit stop, Schumacher used a more favourable one-stop strategy to move ahead of Hill, who made two pit stops for fuel and tyres, on lap 41. Four laps later, Hill attempted to pass Schumacher, but the two collided and were forced to retire from the race. This promoted Herbert and Coulthard, who were battling for third place, into the fight for the lead. Coulthard passed Herbert, but dropped to third, behind Alesi, after incurring a stop-go penalty for speeding in the pit lane. Report Background Heading into the eighth race of the season, Benetton driver Michael Schumacher was leading the Drivers' Championship with 46 points; ahead of Williams driver Damon Hill on 35, and the two Ferrari drivers, Jean Alesi and Gerhard Berger, on 26 and 17 points respectively. The Constructors' Championship was closer, with Benetton on 48 points leading Ferrari and Williams on 43 and 42 points respectively. After a hesitant start to the season, Schumacher had won three of the previous four Grands Prix, and arrived at Silverstone as the man to beat. Hill, on the other hand, had won the 1994 British Grand Prix and was eager to repeat the feat in front of his home fans. He had also set the fastest lap time in pre-event testing at Silverstone during the final week of June, almost a second in front of teammate David Coulthard, and a further 0.2 seconds ahead of Schumacher. The McLaren, Jordan, Footwork and Pacific teams also took part in these test sessions. Hill was also under some additional pressure going into the weekend, as his wife, Georgie, was due to give birth to their third child imminently. There was one driver change going into the event: the Footwork team's lead driver, Gianni Morbidelli, was replaced by compatriot Massimiliano Papis, an International Formula 3000 race winner who had also been the test driver for Team Lotus in 1994, before the outfit withdrew from the sport ahead of the 1995 season.

SMS Hamburg

SMS Hamburg ("His Majesty's Ship Hamburg") was the second member of the seven-vessel of light cruisers, built for the German Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial Navy) in the early 1900s. She and her sister ships were ordered under the 1898 Naval Law that required new cruisers be built to replace obsolete vessels in the fleet. The design for the Bremen class was derived from the preceding , utilizing a larger hull that allowed for additional boilers that increased speed. Named for the city of Hamburg, the ship was armed with a main battery of ten guns and had a top speed of . Hamburg served with the reconnaissance force of the main fleet for the majority of her early career, and during this period, she frequently escorted Hohenzollern, the yacht of Kaiser Wilhelm II. During World War I, she served as the deputy flagship of a flotilla of U-boats, and she frequently cruised with the High Seas Fleet during patrols in the North Sea. She was present at the Battle of Jutland on 31 May – 1 June 1916, where she was damaged in clashes with British light forces as the German fleet withdrew in the night. Obsolescent by that time, Hamburg was reduced to a stationary headquarters ship and was also used as an accommodation ship for the rest of the war. Following Germany's defeat, Hamburg remained in Germany and was among the vessels permitted to the Reichsmarine by the Treaty of Versailles. She was among the first vessels to be recommissioned in 1920 and in 1921, while escorting minesweepers, she engaged Soviet coastal artillery. Her crew assisted in the suppression of unrest in Hamburg in October 1923. Reduced to a training ship in 1926, she embarked on a world cruise, after which she was decommissioned and reduced to a barracks ship. She served in that capacity in Kiel until early 1944, when the Nazi-era Kriegsmarine moved her to Hamburg to be broken up; British bombers sank the ship in April before she could be dismantled. The wreck was raised after the war in 1949 and was finally scrapped by 1956. Design The German 1898 Naval Law called for the replacement of the fleet's older cruising vessels—steam corvettes, unprotected cruisers, and avisos—with modern light cruisers. The first tranche of vessels to fulfill this requirement, the , were designed to serve both as fleet scouts and as station ships in Germany's colonial empire. They provided the basis for subsequent designs, beginning with the that was designed in 1901–1903. The principle improvements consisted of a larger hull that allowed for an additional pair of boilers and a higher top speed. Hamburg was long overall and had a beam of and a draft of forward. She displaced as designed and up to at full load. Her propulsion system consisted of two triple-expansion steam engines with steam provided by ten coal-fired Marine-type water-tube boilers. Her propulsion system was rated at for a top speed of . Hamburg carried up to of coal, which gave her a range of at . She had a crew of 14 officers

Mytilus trossulus

Mytilus trossulus, the bay mussel or foolish mussel, is a medium-sized edible marine bivalve mollusc in the family Mytilidae. Mytilus trossulus is one of the three principal, closely related taxa in the Mytilus edulis complex of blue mussels, which collectively are widely distributed on the temperate to subarctic coasts the Northern Hemisphere, and often are dominant inhabitants on hard substrates of the intertidal and nearshore habitats. Distribution Mytilus trossulus is the main native intertidal mussel in the Northern Pacific. In North America it is found from California to Alaska, and in Asia from Hokkaido northwards. At its southern limits, it hybridizes with Mytilus galloprovincialis (the Mediterranean mussel), which has been introduced to the Pacific by human activity. In the North Atlantic, M. trossulus is found on the U.S. coast of Maine and northwards to Canada, as well as in scattered localities on North European coasts. In these regions it often coexists and hybridizes with Mytilus edulis. The entire Baltic Sea is inhabited by a peculiar population of Mytilus trossulus, which shows some genetic introgression from M. edulis and whose mitochondrial DNA has been replaced by M. edulis mtDNA. In the Arctic, Mytilus trossulus is found in northwest Greenland where they are found scattered in the intertidal zone from 71°N to 77°N References trossulus Category:Molluscs of the Pacific Ocean Category:Marine molluscs of Asia Category:Marine molluscs of North America Category:Molluscs of Japan Category:Molluscs of the United States Category:Western North American coastal fauna Category:Fauna of California Category:Bivalves of Asia Category:Fauna of the Northwestern United States Category:Bivalves described in 1850

List of U.S. state statutory codes

This is an incomplete list of statutory codes from the U.S. states, territories, and the one federal district. Most states use a single official code divided into numbered titles. Pennsylvania's official codification is still in progress. California, New York, and Texas use separate subject-specific codes (or in New York's case, "Consolidated Laws") which must be separately cited by name. Louisiana has both five subject-specific codes and a set of Revised Statutes divided into numbered titles. The Maryland Code was formerly divided into numbered titles, but was recodified into subject-specific articles which must be cited by name.

List of train songs

A train song is a song referencing passenger or freight railroads. Trains have been a theme in both traditional and popular music since the first half of the 19th century and over the years have appeared in all major musical genres, including folk, blues, country, rock, jazz, world, classical and avant-garde. While the prominence of railroads in the United States has faded in recent decades, the train endures as a common image in popular song. The earliest known train songs date to two years before the first public railway began operating in the United States. "The Carrollton March", copyrighted July 1, 1828, was composed by Arthur Clifton to commemorate the groundbreaking of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Another song written for the occasion, "Rail Road March" by Charles Meineke, was copyrighted two days after Clifton's, one day before the July 4 ceremonies. The number of songs that have appeared since then is impossible to determine, not only because of the difficulties in documenting the songs but also in defining the genre. Following is a list of about 1,000 songs by artists worldwide, alphabetized by song title. Most have appeared on commercially released albums and singles and are notable for either their composers, the musicians who performed them, or their place in the history of the form. Besides recorded works, the list includes songs that preceded the first wax cylinder records of the late 1800s and were published as either broadsides or sheet music. 0–9 "2:10 Train" (Tom Campbell/Linda Albertano) by Chesapeake, The Fenians, Jimmy Gaudreau & Moondi Klein, Steve Gillette, Carolyn Hester, Taj Mahal, Rising Sons, Linda Ronstadt & Stone Poneys "2:15" (John Philip Sousa), copyright 1889 "2:19" (Tom Waits, Kathleen Brennan) by Jerry Douglas, Tom Waits "2:19 Blues (Mamie's Blues)" (Mamie Desdunes) by Louis Armstrong, Jeff Barnhart, Acker Bilk, Canadian Brass, Ken Colyer, Karen Dalton, Art Hodes, Papa Bue Jensen, Bunk Johnson, Jo Ann Kelly, Cy Laurie, George Lewis, Paul Lingle, Jelly Roll Morton, Leon Redbone, Dave Van Ronk, Eric Von Schmidt & Rolf Cahn "219 Train" (Harvey Fuqua) by The Moonglows "3:10 To Yuma" (George Dunning, Ned Washington) by Sandy Denny, Frankie Laine "30 Miles of Railroad Track" (Burt Bacharach, Bob Hilliard) by Hammond Brothers "49 Tons" (Fred Eaglesmith) by Fred Eaglesmith "5:15" (Pete Townshend) by The Who, from Quadrophenia, 1973 "5.15 (The Angels have Gone)" (David Bowie) by David Bowie "5:15" (Chris Isaak) by Chris Isaak "500 Miles" (Hedy West) by Bill Anderson, Chet Atkins, Hoyt Axton, Bad Astronaut, Bobby Bare, Eric Bibb, Leon Bibb, Bob the Builder, The Brothers Four, Glen Campbell, Rosanne Cash, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Celtic Thunder, The Country Gentlemen, Jackie DeShannon, Lonnie Donegan, John Duffey, Cliff Eberhardt, Percy Faith, Jimmy Gilmer, The Hooters, The Innocence Mission, The Journeymen, The Kingston Trio, Los Mustang, Laura Love, Arthur Lyman, Waldemar Matuška, Reba McEntire, Chad Mitchell Trio, Bill Perry, Peter & Gordon, Peter, Paul & Mary, Elvis Presley, Zé Renato & Cláudio Nucci, Johnny Rivers, The Seekers, The Seldom Scene, Judee Sill, Terrance Simien, Joe Simon, Sonny & Cher, Billy Strange, The Tokens, Mary Travers,

In Between Words

In Between Words is the independent debut album by Jamaican singer-songwriter Tessanne Chin released digitally on December 6, 2010. After going on tour for three years with Jimmy Cliff as a back-up singer, Tessanne decided to launch her solo career. she began writing songs for her the album after she left her band Mile High. The first single "Hideaway" received heavy rotation on Jamaican radio and select stations in New York City. According to Neilsen Soundscan, it has sold over 15,749 downloads in its first week of release. The song was also featured on VP Records' Reggae Gold 2007. After "Hideaway," she has released two more singles, "Black Books," and "Messenger" both which were made available digitally. Background and development Chin stated the album was made at late stages because she's a perfectionist in a kind of crazy way and it was an independent album, she also. "Contrary to popular belief, artistes don't always have a bag a money to drop on an album." Tessanne stated songs that stuck out to her were "Who"" because of its dub-style reggae feel, Flying High because it represents where she is in her life right now, "Taken" and "You and Me", the duet with her sister Tami Chynn. "Hideaway" has been described as a soulful reggae ballad is all about love. Which she is trying to convey her feelings to a guy she’s fallen for. She’s offering her heart as a secret hideaway from all his troubles, and to receive all the love he’s only dreamed of. Absolutely beautiful words. The Lead single "Black Books" has been described as an empowering song many women can relate to, about a man who doesn’t appreciate your worth until the relationship is over. Tessanne sings about being alone and mistreated by the man she loves, while he runs around playing games. While Messenger is a song that makes you think about what’s going on in society today. Tessanne is known not only for her poetical love songs, but also for conscious and thought-provoking lyrics Tessanne expressed that the decision to release the album exclusively digital, is to capitalize on her music reaching fans all around the world. Tessanne also describes her debut album as an infusion of rock, reggae and soul. Critical reception Kai of EmbraceYou Magazine wrote There are two songs that I had hoped would’ve made it to the album: “Running” and “No Matter How“. It’s unfortunate they didn’t make the final cut, but regardless the album is still fanastic. Tessanne Chin did an exceptional job for her first album. The lyrics are deep and the songs are soulful; whether they’re slow reggae ballads or fast paced rock jams, she delivers without a pinch of error. A flawless record demanding a place within your music collection. Ahmad Tafari of The Reggae Vibe wrote that the album was "Reggae, Rock and Soul all put together beautifully in between words."

Belcrest Apartments (Detroit, Michigan)

The Belcrest Apartments is an apartment building located at 5440 Cass Avenue in Midtown Detroit, Michigan. It was built in 1926 as the Belcrest Hotel, designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1983, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It is significant as an early example of the apartment hotel development concept in Detroit, and a major early work of architect Charles N. Agree. History The Belcrest Apartment Hotel was built in 1926 as a residential hotel, catering to wealthy tenants. The building exemplified what was, at the time, a novel style of living arrangement: an apartment building that offered amenities normally associated with a hotel. Daily maid service and a restaurant on the premises set this apart from a conventional apartment building. The building was developed by Jacob Singer and Max Hamburger, who hired Charles N. Agree as both architect and general contractor for the building. In 1929, Singer and Hamburger signed an agreement to make the Belcrest a part of the Albert Pick hotel chain. Architecture The Belcrest is a twelve-story, T-shaped apartment building, constructed of concrete and steel and sheathed with brick and terra cotta. Three projecting bays surround the base of the T, emphasizing the vertical, and extend up through the cornice to end in an ornamented gable. The three bays have elaborate detail on the twelfth floor, containing alternating bands of brick and terra cotta, round-arched masonry window openings, and terra cotta diaperwork. Terra cotta cornices on the third, eleventh, and top floors emphasize the horizontal. The grey and cream second-floor cornice is further embellished with dentils, rope molding, and acanthus leaf molding. The tan and dark brown eleventh-floor corniceline has green highlights, and breaks at terra cotta balconets beneath the twelfth-floor windows. The tan twelfth floor cornice is molded into the form of a series of arches and acanthus leaf brackets, topped with an acanthus leaf molding. A gabled single story entry foyer echoes the form of the twelfth floor gables. The entryway is reached through original wrought iron entry gates.

He was born on 12 December 1872 in Breslau, the second child of Jewish parents, Julius and Julcher Cassirer. Julius was a partner, with two of Bruno's cousins, in a cable factory. Julius completed his final school examination in 1890 at the Leibniz-Gymnasium. In 1898, together with his cousin Paul Cassirer, he opened a gallery and bookshop at 35 Viktoriastraße near Kemperplatz, Berlin. On 2 May 1898 the artists' association Berlin Secession was established with Paul and Bruno as secretaries. For three years they acquainted the art and literature scenes of Berlin with the newest waves from Belgian, English, French and Russian culture. In 1901, Bruno and Paul divided the business into separate parts, with Paul running the gallery and art dealership, whilst Bruno owned the publishing side which relocated to 15 Derfflingerstraße. In 1902 he founded the monthly art journal Kunst und Künstler (Art and Artist) which turned out to become an influential and prestigious forum until it was closed down by the Nazis in 1933. In 1903 Christian Morgenstern joined as literary editor and the journal "Das Theater" was founded under his direction. In 1936 Jewish printers were removed from membership of the Reichsschrifttumskammer (RSK) and the last book appeared from the Cassirer publishing house. In 1938 part of the Cassirer family decided to emigrate to Oxford where Bruno founded a new publishing house. He died on 20 October 1941 in Oxford, England. After the death of Bruno Cassirer, his son-in law Dr. George Hill (born Günther Hell) continued the publishing business until he died in 1995.

Nouvelle cuisine

Nouvelle cuisine (; ) is an approach to cooking and food presentation in French cuisine. In contrast to cuisine classique, an older form of haute cuisine, nouvelle cuisine is characterized by lighter, more delicate dishes and an increased emphasis on presentation. It was popularized in the 1960s by the food critic Henri Gault, who invented the phrase, and his colleagues André Gayot and Christian Millau in a new restaurant guide, the Gault-Millau, or LNouveau Guide. History The term "nouvelle cuisine" has been used several times in the history of French cuisine, to mark a clean break with the past. In the 1730s and 1740s, several French writers emphasized their break with tradition, calling their cooking "modern" or "new". Vincent La Chapelle published his Cuisinier moderne in 1733–1735. The first volumes of Menon's Nouveau traité de la cuisine came out in 1739. And it was in 1742 that Menon introduced the term nouvelle cuisine as the title of the third volume of his Nouveau traité. François Marin worked in the same tradition. In the 1880s and 1890s, the cooking of Georges Auguste Escoffier was sometimes described with the term. The modern usage is variously attributed to authors Henri Gault, Christian Millau, and André Gayot, who used nouvelle cuisine to describe the cooking of Paul Bocuse, Alain Chapel, Jean and Pierre Troisgros, Michel Guérard, Roger Vergé, and Raymond Oliver, many of whom were once students of Fernand Point. Paul Bocuse claimed that Gault first used the term to describe food prepared by Bocuse and other top chefs for the maiden flight of the Concorde airliner in 1969. The style Gault and Millau wrote about was a reaction to the French cuisine classique placed into "orthodoxy" by Escoffier. Calling for greater simplicity and elegance in creating dishes, nouvelle cuisine is not cuisine minceur ("thin cooking"), which was created by Michel Guérard as spa food. It has been speculated that the outbreak of World War II was a significant contributor to nouvelle cuisine's creation—the short supply of animal protein during the German occupation made it a natural development. The "formula" Gault and Millau "discovered the formula" contained in ten characteristics of this new style of cooking. The ten characteristics identified were: A rejection of excessive complication in cooking. Cooking times for most fish, seafood, game birds, veal, green vegetables and pâtés were greatly reduced in an attempt to preserve the natural flavours. Steaming was an important trend from this characteristic. The cuisine was made with the freshest possible ingredients. Large menus were abandoned in favour of shorter menus. Strong marinades for meat and game ceased to be used. Heavy sauces such as espagnole and béchamel were replaced by seasonings with fresh herbs, high-quality butter, lemon juice, and vinegar. Regional dishes replaced as inspiration instead of cuisine classique New techniques were embraced and modern equipment was often used; Bocuse even used microwave ovens. The chefs paid close attention to the dietary needs of their guests through their dishes. The chefs were extremely inventive and created new combinations and pairings. Abandonment There is a standing debate as to

Demolition Hammer

Demolition Hammer is a thrash metal band from the Bronx, New York. The band formed in 1986 and released three full-length albums between 1990 and 1994. Century Media Records made a complete anthology available in 2008. After a 21-year hiatus, Demolition Hammer reformed in 2016. History Formation and first two albums (1986–1992) Demolition Hammer arrived on the East Coast thrash metal scene circa 1986. The original line-up consisted of Steve Reynolds as the vocalist and on bass, James Reilly on guitar, and John Salerno on drums. Their first demo tape, Skull Fracturing Nightmare, was released in 1988. It gained notice from fans of the genre and independent record labels. Derek Sykes was brought in as a second guitarist and Vincent Civitano (a.k.a. Vinny Daze) replaced Salerno. Their second demo, Necrology, secured the group a recording contract with Century Media Records. Their first album, Tortured Existence, was produced by Scott Burns with a small budget. The songs were composed with fast riffs, chunky breakdowns, and expressive guitar solos. In 1992, the band released their critically acclaimed album Epidemic of Violence. The production was clearer and included faster and leaner songs. The covers of these first two releases featured horror based artwork and a logo designed by Daze. Time Bomb and breakup (1993–2015) Fast-paced thrash metal became less popular in the '90s. Daze and Reilly left the band to form the group Deviate NY. Former Malevolent Creation drummer Alex Marquez joined Reynolds and Sykes to write material for another project. The label wished to release the songs with the band's original name. The result was the 1994 album Time Bomb with a new Demolition Hammer logo on the cover. It was slower and lacked guitar solos. The style was similar to that of groups like Pantera and Machine Head. After playing one of their final shows at Milwaukee MetalFest in the summer of 1995, Demolition Hammer broke up. Marquez and Reynolds were offered new gigs with Solstice. Daze died of globefish poisoning while traveling in Africa on March 11, 1996. With Demolition Hammer's music becoming increasingly hard to come by, Century Media released Necrology: A Complete Anthology in 2008. It included every title from their first three albums, two pre-production demos from Time Bomb, and one video clip. Reunion (2016–present) In March 2016, the band reunited with new drummer Angel Cotte. They played a show in June 2016 in Brooklyn, New York for which it was sold out under 3 minutes. They also played that year's Maryland Deathfest. In a January 2017 interview at 70000 Tons of Metal, the members of Demolition Hammer were asked if the band will record a follow-up to 1994's Time Bomb. Bassist and vocalist Steve Reynolds replied, "We've talked. But we were so busy just trying to work all this in, we haven't really solidified any plans for that. But we're still talking about it." Guitarist James Reilly added, "Now that we see how well this is going, we do have it in our heads to start writing some new material and see where it goes." Musical style In

George Lovejoy Rockwell

George Lovejoy "Doc" Rockwell (1889-1978) was an American vaudeville performer and radio personality. Life and career Rockwell was born in Providence, Rhode Island, the son of Julia (Holden) and George Lyton Rockwell. Rockwell was a fast-talking "nut comic" who developed an act as a lecturing doctor. One sign of Rockwell's success was his appearances as the headline act at the Palace Theater in New York City, the single most coveted booking in vaudeville. Rockwell headlined at the Palace six times, the first in April 1925, the last in May 1932. In the 1930s he also appeared on the inaugural bill at Radio City Music Hall (on December 27, 1932), at the Ziegfeld Theater, and in a single film, the 1937 musical comedy, The Singing Marine. In 1939 Rockwell had his own short-lived national radio show on NBC, and through the 1940s he was a frequent guest on the radio show of his friend Fred Allen. He married fellow performer Claire Schade in 1915 in Bloomington, Illinois. Rockwell's first son was George Lincoln Rockwell, the founder of the American Nazi Party. For many years after his retirement from performing, Doc Rockwell contributed a humor column to Down East, The Magazine of Maine. He had the last page from shortly after the magazine's founding in 1954 to his death. Doc always ended his column with "Maker of fine cigar ashes since 1889."

Willamette Riverkeeper

Willamette Riverkeeper is a non profit organization formed in 1996 in order to protect and restore the Willamette River's water quality and habitat. Willamette River The Willamette River runs through a large stretch of Oregon's Willamette Valley, with the main stem river stretching from south of Eugene to Portland, Oregon. Along its 187 plus miles, the river is impacted by a range of issues, from toxic pollutants and dams on the river's tributaries, to urban development and industrial waste. In addition to pollution, the habitat of the Willamette River was degraded to a significant extend. Overview Willamette Riverkeeper is the only organization that works solely to protect and restore the Willamette River's water quality and habitat. Over the years they have advocated, educated, and worked in a hands-on manner to improve conditions along the Willamette - with the support of many members of the general public. From their work on Superfund in Portland Harbor since 1995, to their advocacy for the Willamette Greenway, they have moved the Willamette River's health forward in a way that no other organization, funder, or government entity has. History Travis Williams has led the organization since 2000 as Riverkeeper and Executive Director, and the team at WR has made significant strides related to fish passage at the dams on the Willamette River's tributaries, in order to restore naturally reproducing populations of Spring Chinook and Winter Steelhead in the system. In fact, in 2007, Willamette Riverkeeper filed a lawsuit against the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) that forced the Corps to complete the Biological Opinion of the Willamette, and to begin work to reduce their impact. This legal action by Willamette Riverkeeper resulted in a settlement completed in 2008 that forced the US Army Corps and others to move forward in a robust fashion to improve fish passage and to restore habitat. This small non profit has also been responsible for bringing thousands of people to the river to canoe, kayak, paddle board, and swim over the years. Their work on the Willamette Water Trail has drawn thousands to the Willamette. Their signature event, Paddle Oregon, brings hundreds of people to the river every August to canoe, kayak and paddle board. Each day participants learn about the river and its needs. This small non profit continues to have a huge impact with its combination of advocacy, education, hands-on work, and policy expertise. In 2009, the organization worked hard to reignite the Willamette River Greenway Program by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. This effort sought to improve the understanding and stewardship of thousands of acres of public land along the Willamette River. Over the next several years, Willamette Riverkeeper was the lead proponent of protecting existing Greenway Lands, expanding public understanding of the value of public land along the Willamette, and increasing these lands each and every year. In January 2017, after 16 years of work the Portland Harbor Superfund site's Record of Decision was completed. Willamette Riverkeeper worked tirelessly over the time to push the many responsible parties to take action in regard to the Cleanup,

David Bullock Harris

David Bullock Harris (September 28, 1814 – October 10, 1864) was a colonel in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War (Civil War). Harris served as an engineer, mostly under the command of General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard. Harris planned and constructed the defenses of Centreville, Virginia, Fort Pillow, Island Number Ten, Vicksburg, Mississippi, Charleston, South Carolina and Petersburg, Virginia in the siege of that city's opening phase. He died of yellow fever at Summerville, South Carolina on October 10, 1864. Early life David Bullock Harris was born at Frederick's Hall (now spelled Fredericks Hall) in Louisa County, Virginia on September 28, 1814 and grew up at Gardner's Crossroads (Gardners Crossroads) in Louisa County. His parents were Frederick and Catherine Snelson (Smith) Harris. Frederick Harris was a U.S. Army captain during the War of 1812 and later was president of the Louisa Railroad, which became the Virginia Central Railroad. David B. Harris graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1833. He served for two years in the artillery branch of the U.S. Army and as an engineering instructor at the U.S. Military Academy. He resigned from the U.S. Army as a second lieutenant in 1835. For two years, he worked as an engineer for the James River and Kanawha Canal Company. Thereafter, he did railroad survey work. By 1845, he had acquired "Woodville," a Goochland County, Virginia plantation, where he was a tobacco farmer and where he resided at the outbreak of the American Civil War. Harris's wife was the former Louisa Knight. American Civil War David Bullock Harris was appointed a Captain of engineers in the Virginia militia on May 2, 1861. By July, he was serving on the staff of Confederate Army Brigadier General Philip St. George Cocke. He was engaged at the First Battle of Bull Run on July 21, 1861. Thereafter, Harris was assigned to the staff of General P. G. T. Beauregard. Harris planned Confederate defenses of Centreville, Virginia, Fort Pillow, Island Number Ten, Vicksburg, Mississippi and Charleston, South Carolina. He was promoted to captain of Confederate engineers on February 15, 1862, to major on October 3, 1862, to lieutenant colonel on May 5, 1863 and to colonel on October 8, 1863. After Beauregard took command at Charleston, South Carolina for the second time, Harris worked constantly to improve the fortifications, often visiting troops in exposed and dangerous positions to design improvements. These defenses proved too formidable for besieging Union forces to overcome. After traveling with Beauregard to Virginia, where he planned defenses at Petersburg in the summer of 1864, Harris returned to Charleston and the post of chief engineer of the Department of South Carolina. He soon died of yellow fever though at Summerville, South Carolina, on October 10, 1864, having just turned 50. Aftermath Harris had been recommended for promotion to brigadier general and Confederate President Jefferson Davis verbally promised the promotion to him shortly before Harris died. The promotion had not gone through before Harris died though some early lists of Confederate generals showed Harris as a Brigadier. David Bullock Harris

Genetic genealogy

Genetic genealogy is the use of Genealogical DNA tests, i.e. DNA profiling and DNA testing in combination with traditional genealogical methods, to infer biological relationships between individuals. Genetic genealogy involves the use of genealogical DNA testing to determine the level and type of the genetic relationship between individuals. This application of genetics became to be used by family historians in the 21st century, as tests became affordable. The tests have been promoted by amateur groups, such as surname study groups, or regional genealogical groups, as well as research projects such as the Genographic Project. As of 2019, about 30 million people had been tested. As this field has developed, the aims of practitioners broadened, with many seeking knowledge of their ancestry beyond the recent centuries for which traditional pedigrees can be constructed. History The investigation of surnames in genetics can be said to go back to George Darwin, a son of Charles Darwin and Charles' first cousin Emma Darwin. In 1875, George Darwin used surnames to estimate the frequency of first-cousin marriages and calculated the expected incidence of marriage between people of the same surname (isonymy). He arrived at a figure of 1.5% for cousin-marriage in the population of London, higher (3%-3.5%) among the upper classes and lower (2.25%) among the general rural population. Surname studies One famous study examined the lineage of descendants of Thomas Jefferson’s paternal line and male lineage descendants of the freed slave, Sally Hemings. Bryan Sykes, a molecular biologist at Oxford University tested the new methodology in general surname research. His study of the Sykes surname obtained results by looking at four STR markers on the male chromosome. It pointed the way to genetics becoming a valuable assistant in the service of genealogy and history. Direct to consumer DNA testing The first company to provide direct-to-consumer genetic DNA testing was the now defunct GeneTree. However, it did not offer multi-generational genealogy tests. In fall 2001, GeneTree sold its assets to Salt Lake City-based Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation (SMGF) which originated in 1999. While in operation, SMGF provided free Y-Chromosome and mitochondrial DNA tests to thousands. Later, GeneTree returned to genetic testing for genealogy in conjunction with the Sorenson parent company and eventually was part of the assets acquired in the Ancestry.com buyout of SMGF. In 2000, Family Tree DNA, founded by Bennett Greenspan and Max Blankfeld, was the first company dedicated to direct-to-consumer testing for genealogy research. They initially offered eleven marker Y-Chromosome STR tests and HVR1 mitochondrial DNA tests. They originally tested in partnership with the University of Arizona. In 2007, 23andMe was the first company to offer a saliva-based direct-to-consumer genetic testing. It was also the first to implement using autosomal DNA for ancestry testing, which other major companies (e.g. Ancestry, Family Tree DNA and MyHeritage) also later implemented. By August 2019 it was reported that about 30 million people had had their DNA tested for genealogical purposes. GEDmatch said about half of their profiles were American.

Lapis Lazuli corridor

Lapis Lazuli is an international transit route opened in 2018 linking Afghanistan to Turkey via Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and Georgia. The name “Lapis Lazuli” is derived from the historic route that Afghanistan's lapis lazuli and other semiprecious stones were exported along, over 2,000 years ago, to the Caucasus, Russia, the Balkans, Europe, and North Africa along the ancient Silk Road. The initiative will serve to reinforce the Afghan Government's Infrastructure and Connectivity Development, Energy, and Private Sector Development National Priority Programs. The Lapis Lazuli corridor is funded by the Asian Development Bank. Currently, the transit project’s budget is estimated at $2 billion. History The name of the transport corridor comes from the color of mineral lapis lazuli, which was one of the main items of exports from Central Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and North Africa in ancient times. Negotiations over the establishment of this new corridor date back to 2012 and continued for five years due to a number of factors in the region, including insecurity (growing domestic violence), economic instability across Central Asia, and a legacy of poorly developed infrastructure networks in the member countries involved. The Lapis Lazuli Route Transport and Transit Agreement was initiated by then Afghan foreign minister and economic cooperation minister, Wahidullah Waissi. The agreement aims to enhance regional economic cooperation and connectivity between the countries of Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey, thereby expanding economic and cultural links between Europe and Asia. In doing so, the initiative seeks to improve transport infrastructure and procedures (including for road, rail, and sea), increase exports, and expand the economic opportunities of citizens in countries benefiting from this new transport corridor. Barriers to regional trade and transit and transaction costs will be reduced, in part, through a new Custom Integration Procedure and, between Afghanistan and Turkmenistan, a new Cross-Border Transport Agreement. Its projected impact is considerable not only because most of the needed infrastructure is already in place, but also because most of the investment required will focus on improving policy and governance. The Economic Rate of Return and Net Present Value still need to be established, but with a discount rate applied at 12%, the overall returns are expected to be positive. The Lapis Lazuli Route will connect with Turkey's Middle Corridor Project (“East-West Trans-Caspian Trade and Transport Corridor”). Four technical discussions on the Lapis Lazuli Route (which encompasses a large part of CAREC Transport Corridor #2) agreement have been held, with the most recent occurring on 15-16 November 2016 in Baku that the text of the agreement finalized. The Lapis Lazuli Route agreement was signed on 15 November 2017 at the side of the Seventh RECCA in Ashgabat. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani inaugurated the route in a Herat ceremony on December 13, 2018. The first trucks transported 175 tons of cotton, dried fruit, and sesame. Route The corridor begins from Torghundi in western Herat Province of Afghanistan, and continues to the port (on the Caspian Sea) of Türkmenbaşy in Turkmenistan; after passing the Caspian Sea, the route continues on to Baku, capital of Azerbaijan, and then connects

Biometric Database Law

The Biometric Database Law is an Israeli law which the Knesset passed in December 2009, determining that fingerprints and facial contours would be collected from all Israeli residents, that the collected data would be integrated onto the Israeli digital identity cards and digital passports, and that a biometric government database of all Israeli citizens and residents would be created which would be used for biometric identification that would allow the management of access control, identification of individuals and assist in locating individuals suspected of criminal activity by the law enforcement officials. When the law passed in December 2009 it was determined that the law be gradually applied and that at the first phase, the inclusion of one's biometric data in the central database would be voluntary. Goals The laws's targets which are presented in its first section are: Determining the arrangements which would allow the identification and verification of the identity of Israeli residents by including biometric identification means and biometric identification data in passports and identity cards, to prevent forgery and the using of a false identity, and to determine the permitted uses of such data and measures; Establishment of a biometric database which would include biometric identification means which would be integrated onto identification documents, as described in paragraph (1), biometric identification data generated from them, and defining the permitted uses of the database by the Israel Police forces and the Israeli security authorities; Determining the necessary arrangements to protect the privacy of the residents who provided their biometric data, determining the means of access to the biometric database and securing the information in it. The law addresses serious issues in identifying fake ID cards and passports, producing double records for the same person, and identity theft which are caused when using the documentation of a person from whom the identity was stolen. These examples, allow the misuse of identification documents for illegal immigration, criminal and economic offenses, and activities which harm Israel's national security. Nowadays identification documents are easily forged by criminals, who often try to get the assistance of state workers. From 2005 to 2007 the Interior Ministry reported the loss, theft and destruction of about 150,000 ID cards per year, for which submitted requests were handed in for new identity cards. In many cases, in question the loss, theft and destruction of the ID cards occurred several times for the same resident during these three years. The data of the Israeli Police indicates that about 52 percent of the individuals who submitted requests for new identity cards after theirs was lost, stolen and/or destroyed, between the years 1995 to 2006 had a criminal record, of which 10 percent have a criminal record of distribution of counterfeit documents. Clauses The employees of the Interior Ministry would be authorized to collect biometric identification data from the Israeli population, and to transfer the data to a database which would be managed by the biometric database management authority (הרשות לניהול המאגר הביומטרי). This data would be used to issue resident identification documents and for verification of an individual's identity, by the

Colossus-class battleship (1910)

The Colossus-class battleships were a pair of dreadnought battleships built for the Royal Navy (RN) at the end of the first decade of the 20th century, the last battleships built for the RN. The sister ships spent their whole careers assigned to the Home and Grand Fleets, often serving as flagships. Aside from participating in the Battle of Jutland in May 1916, and the inconclusive Action of 19 August several months later, their service during the First World War generally consisted of routine patrols and training in the North Sea. The Colossus class were deemed obsolete by the end of the war in 1918 and were reduced to reserve the following year. Hercules was sold for scrap in 1921, although Colossus was briefly used as a training ship. She was hulked in 1923 and sold for scrap five years later. Background and design The initial 1909–1910 Naval Programme included two dreadnoughts and a battlecruiser, but was later increased to six dreadnoughts and two battlecruisers as a result of public pressure on the government due to the Anglo-German naval arms race. The original pair of battleships became the Colossus class and were improved versions of the preceding battleship, . On 19 November 1908, Rear-Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, the Third Sea Lord and Controller of the Navy, proposed the changes that he would like to make to the Neptunes design. He wanted to redistribute the armour from locations not exposed to enemy fire to those that were and to fit 21-inch (533 mm) torpedoes in lieu of the 18-inch (450 mm) weapons used in the earlier ship; the number of spare torpedoes were to be increased as well. Likely prompted by an earlier memo from Admiral Francis Bridgeman, commander-in-chief of the Home Fleet, Jellicoe wanted to eliminate the mainmast and transfer most of the functions of its spotting top to an armoured spotting tower atop the conning tower in the superstructure. The Director of Naval Ordnance (DNO), Rear-Admiral Reginald Bacon, argued that the spotting top in the foremast should be retained. Jellicoe was willing to slightly increase the new design's displacement over Neptune, but it could not cost any more, which placed major constraints on the Director of Naval Construction (DNC), Sir Philip Watts. The DNC objected to the loss of the mainmast as he believed that it was needed to support a boat-handling derrick, but was overruled by the Admiralty, which preferred to position the tripod foremast behind the forward funnel with the tripod legs facing forward to allow the vertical leg to be used to support the derrick. This all but guaranteed that the hot funnel gases could render the spotting top uninhabitable. The short height of the funnel also bedevilled the bridge with smoke until it was raised in 1912, although this exacerbated the problem for the spotting top. The decision to space the wing turrets more closely together also made the smoke problem worse; because it reduced the space available to the aft boiler room which meant that the forward funnel had to accommodate the exhausts of a dozen boilers

Earl of Caithness

Earl of Caithness is a title that has been created several times in the Peerage of Scotland, and it has a very complex history. Its first grant, in the modern sense as to have been counted in strict lists of peerages, is now generally held to have taken place in favor of Maol Íosa V, Earl of Strathearn, in 1334, although in the true circumstances of 14th century, this presumably was just a recognition of his hereditary right to the ancient earldom/mormaership of Caithness. The next year, however, all of his titles were declared forfeit for treason. History Earlier, Caithness had been intermittently held, presumably always as fief of Scotland, by the Norse earls of Orkney, at least since the days of the childhood of Thorfinn Sigurdsson in c.1020, but possibly already several decades before. The modern reconstruction of holders of peerage earldoms do not usually include those of Mormaerdom of Caithness, although there is no essential difference between them and, for example, those of mormaers of Lennox, mormaers of Strathearn and mormaers of Angus. The next grant after Maol Íosa was to David Stewart, a younger son of Robert II of Scotland. His heiress, Euphemia, resigned the title in 1390 in favour of her uncle Walter, 1st Earl of Atholl. Walter himself resigned the title in 1428, in favour of his son Allan, but he retained the earldom of Atholl for himself. Upon Allan's death, Walter again came to hold both earldoms. However, both were lost when he was executed for high treason in 1437, his titles being forfeit. The third creation of the title was for Sir George Crichton in 1452, but he surrendered the title in the same year. The final creation of the earldom was made in 1455 for William Sinclair, 3rd Earl of Orkney.He surrendered the Orkney title and all associated lands to James III in 1470, in return for the Castle of Ravenscraig, in Fife. James III had in 1469 received the rights of the king of Norway to Orkney territories as pledge of dowry of his wife Margaret of Denmark. In this way, the Scottish crown tightened its grip to Orkney and Shetland, a former Norwegian territory, by moving all other important holders away. Six years later, Earl William wished to disinherit his eldest son, who was known as "the Waster". Therefore, so that his earldom would not pass to him, he resigned the title in favour of his younger son, another William. General Arthur St. Clair was reportedly descended from the 4th Earl of Caithness. George, sixth earl of the Sinclair line, was the last earl to cause a disturbance in the normal succession of the title. In 1672, he agreed that, at his death, all of his lands and titles would pass to Sir John Campbell, who was his creditor. In 1677, the sixth earl died, and King Charles II granted him a patent creating him Earl of Caithness. Later, however, the sixth earl's heir, also named George, was confirmed in his titles by the law. Therefore, in order to compensate for the

Quantum network

Quantum networks form an important element of quantum computing and quantum communication systems. Quantum networks facilitate the transmission of information in the form of quantum bits, also called qubits, between physically separated quantum processors. A quantum processor is a small quantum computer being able to perform quantum logic gates on a certain number of qubits. Quantum networks work in a similar way to classical networks. The main difference is that quantum networking, like quantum computing, is better at solving certain problems, such as modeling quantum systems. Basics Quantum networks for computation Networked quantum computing or distributed quantum computing works by linking multiple quantum processors through a quantum network by sending qubits in-between them. Doing this creates a quantum computing cluster and therefore creates more computing potential. Less powerful computers can be linked in this way to create one more powerful processor. This is analogous to connecting several classical computers to form a computer cluster in classical computing. Like classical computing this system is scale-able by adding more and more quantum computers to the network. Currently quantum processors are only separated by short distances. Quantum networks for communication In the realm of quantum communication, one wants to send qubits from one quantum processor to another over long distances. This way local quantum networks can be intra connected into a quantum internet. A quantum internet supports many applications, which derive their power from the fact that by creating quantum entangled qubits, information can be transmitted between the remote quantum processors. Most applications of a quantum internet require only very modest quantum processors. For most quantum internet protocols, such as quantum key distribution in quantum cryptography, it is sufficient if these processors are capable of preparing and measuring only a single qubit at a time. This is in contrast to quantum computing where interesting applications can only be realized if the (combined) quantum processors can easily simulate more qubits than a classical computer (around 60). Quantum internet applications require only small quantum processors, often just a single qubit, because quantum entanglement can already be realized between just two qubits. A simulation of an entangled quantum system on a classical computer can not simultaneously provide the same security and speed. Overview of the elements of a quantum network The basic structure of a quantum network and more generally a quantum internet is analogous to a classical network. First, we have end nodes on which applications are ultimately run. These end nodes are quantum processors of at least one qubit. Some applications of a quantum internet require quantum processors of several qubits as well as a quantum memory at the end nodes. Second, to transport qubits from one node to another, we need communication lines. For the purpose of quantum communication, standard telecom fibers can be used. For networked quantum computing, in which quantum processors are linked at short distances, different wavelengths are chosen depending on the exact hardware platform of the quantum processor. Third, to make maximum use of communication infrastructure, one requires optical switches capable of delivering qubits to the intended quantum processor. These switches

Namık Kemal House Museum, Tekirdağ

The Namık Kemal House Museum () is a historic house museum in Tekirdağ, northwestern Turkey devoted to the life and works of Namık Kemal (1840–1888), Turkish nationalist poet. It is a rebuilt 19th-century house, which was transformed 1993 into a museum. Building The house was rebuilt in 1992 with donations made by local official and charitable organizations. It is a three level house in Ottoman architectural style designed after the still standing, old houses in the direct neighborhood. The house, situated on a hill, is encircled by a large garden with walls. A big garden gate opens to the street in front of the house, named after him, Namık Kemal Caddesi. In the garden, there is a small open air theater with stage and audience space. The exterior of the building is covered with wood to give appearance of an old wooden house. The house can also be entered over a few steps at the basement level. The ground floor is paved with marble. Six rooms of the house are made of wood. Museum In the museum, which was officially opened on December 21, 1993, also ethnographical items collected from the region are on exhibit in addition to the items relating to Namık Kemal. The basement, outfitted with big boards, is allocated for exhibitions. The entrance hall at the ground floor is decorated with portraits of the poet. There are also oil paintings depicting the grave of Namık Kemal in Bolayır on the Gallipoli Peninsula, and portrait of the Hungarian national hero Francis II Rákóczi (1676–1735), who spent his last years in exile in Tekirdağ. On two boards in the living room, a list of places that were named in memoriam of Namık Kemal, news in the media about him, documents, photos of his family members, as well as of old Tekirdağ are posted. 19th century traditional handicraft works, lighting devices, utensils to prepare and serve Turkish coffee and Turkish tea are additional items of interest that are on display. Next to the living room is the kitchen, were almost every kitchenware used in and around Tekirdağ are on exhibit, like food grinding and preparation tools, cooking utensils and diverse food storage containers. The building's original pantry is arranged as an exhibition room devoted to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's military career during the Battle of Gallipoli (1915–1916). Additionally, documents and photos are here on display, related to Atatürk and Tekirdağ together following the foundation of the Turkish Republic. The wall of the staircase leading to the first floor is decorated with a photo of Namık Kemal with his grandson, and oil paintings depicting Alp Arslan (1029–1072), the third sultan of the Seljuk dynasty, as well as the conqueror of Anatolia, Süleyman Pasha (1316–1357), the conqueror of Rumelia, during his crossing the Dardanelles by raft, and the Ottoman Sultan Selim I (1465–1520), who died at Çorlu, Tekirdağ Province underway to a military campaign in Europe. The second floor is arranged as a drawing room of a typical Tekirdağ house. The chamber is furnished with divan, corner pillows, kilims, a Salonica brazier, a cabinet made

An deiner Seite (Ich bin da)

"An deiner Seite (Ich bin da)" () is the third single from the album Zimmer 483 from band Tokio Hotel. The song's translated version By Your Side was released simultaneously in non-German-speaking countries with exactly the same video. "By Your Side" is included in the band's album Scream. The single also contains a B-side, called "1000 Meere" (English: 1000 Oceans) which was also accompanied by a music video. It also contains a new, unreleased song "Geh!" (English: Leave!) which the band promised to the German fans. Music videos "An deiner Seite (Ich bin da)" The video for "An deiner Seite (Ich bin da)" consists of a montage of scenes from the Zimmer 483 - Live In Europe DVD and includes video footage of Tokio Hotel performing the song. The video begins and ends with the sound of screaming fans and also includes lead singer Bill Kaulitz yelling "danke schön" (Thanks a lot) to the audience. The song's translated version "By Your Side" was released with exactly the same video. "1000 Meere"/ "1000 Oceans" The video for "1000 Meere" has more of a storyline. The video shows the four band-members in different parts of an abandoned train station, walking over the tracks and staring into the distance. Eventually the four boys meet up and ascend one of the trains, which starts moving while the band performs inside one of the carriages. Near the end of the video the train starts speeding across the ocean while the band members climb onto the roof of the train.

Kim Nasmyth

Kim Ashley Nasmyth (born 18 October 1952) is an English geneticist, the Whitley Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Oxford, a Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford, former scientific director of the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP), and former head of the Department of Biochemistry, University of Oxford. He is best known for his work on the segregation of chromosomes during cell division. Early life and education Nasmyth was born in London in 1952 of James Ashley (Jan) Nasmyth and Jenny Hughes. His father Jan was doubly descended from King Charles II and founder of the billion dollar publishing company Argus Media. He attended Eton College, Berkshire, then the University of York, where he studied Biology. Nasmyth went on to complete his graduate studies in the group of Murdoch Mitchison at the University of Edinburgh. Here he worked on the cell cycle alongside Paul Nurse and his PhD thesis focused on the control of DNA replication in fission yeast. In Mitchison's lab he made substantial contributions to the study of the cell cycle in fission yeast isolating and characterising cell cycle mutants and the first identification of a gene product (DNA ligase) in these mutants. Career and research Nasmyth joined Ben Hall's lab in Seattle as a postdoctoral researcher where he developed ways of cloning genes by complementation in yeast and, in collaboration with Steve Reed, cloned the CDC28 gene from the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. As a group leader in Cambridge Nasmyth became interested in the phenomenon of mating-type switching in yeast. Together with Kelly Tatchell he cloned the S. cerevisiae mating-type locus and found, surprisingly, that 'silent' copies of the mating-type genes including their promoters are maintained in the yeast chromosome. This represented the first case where the position of a gene in the chromosome had demonstrable biological significance, and prompted Nasmyth to abandon work on the cell cycle for a time and concentrate instead on studying gene silencing. He was one of the first to demonstrate that gene expression can be regulated through specific control elements which are distant from the start of transcription. Max Birnstiel invited Nasmyth to join him at the then newly founded Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) in Vienna, Austria, where he was director. Nasmyth became one of the first three senior group leaders that Birnstiel recruited in 1986. At the IMP, Nasmyth changed his focus from gene silencing back to cell cycle control. In the mid-1990s Nasmyth co-discovered the APC/C and showed that its activity induces chromosome segregation. Using temperature-sensitive mutants of the APC/C he found several genes which are required for sister chromatid cohesion which we now know encode subunits of the cohesin complex. Nasmyth has since shown that cohesin forms a ring, that sister chromatids are held together within this ring and that they are released by cleavage of cohesin by separase. Following Max Birnstiel's retirement, Nasmyth became scientific director of the IMP in 1997. In 2006, Nasmyth left the IMP to become head of the Department of Biochemistry of the University of Oxford, a post he held until 2011.

Charles Edmondes

Charles Gresford Edmondes (1838–1893) was an archdeacon and college principal. He was the son of Thomas Edmondes the vicar of Cowbridge; his uncle was Charles Williams (1806–1877), who later became principal of Jesus College, Oxford; his brother, Frederick William Edmondes (1841–1918) became archdeacon of Llandaff. He was educated at Sherborne and Trinity College, Oxford, where he graduated with a first in classical moderations in 1856. After some years as Curate of Bridgend, he was, from 1865 to 1881, professor of Latin at St David's College, Lampeter (now the University of Wales, Lampeter). After vicariates at Boughrood, Radnorshire (1881), and Warren, Pembrokeshire (1882-8) he was, in 1883, made Archdeacon of St David's. He resigned his office in 1888 to become principal of St David's College, and remained there till his health broke down in 1892. He died 18 July 1893. He was for many years an assiduous member of the Cambrian Archaeological Association.

High Plains Uranium

High Plains Uranium, Inc. was a uranium company based in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and was founded in April 2004. It closed its initial public offering in December 2005 and was traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. High Plains acquired and controls mineral rights of more than 45,000 acres (180 km²) of uranium properties in Wyoming and more than 6,000 acres (24 km²) in Texas. The company was acquired by Energy Metals Corporation in 2007. 2005 to present In 2005 the company raised $11.7 million and acquired interests in the Allemand-Ross Project in Wyoming and the Swinney Switch Project in Texas among others. High Plains intends to employ in-situ leach mining technology to produce its uranium. In-situ mining, or "solution mining," recovers uranium from underground bodies without disrupting the character of the rock strata or land surface. The mining technique is designed to make other land uses, such as agriculture, also possible. The company was acquired by Energy Metals Corporation effective January 12, 2007, and delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange. Major projects Allemand-Ross Project: The project is centered at the Powder River Basin of Wyoming. The area was previously explored by Conoco in the 1970s and 1980s. High Plains announced the completion of a test program at the site in January 2006. The program provided the company with information of the area's uranium content and amenability to mining by in-situ leaching. Swinney Switch Project: The project is spread between Live Oak County and Bee County, Texas. The area was explored by Texas Oil and Gas in the late 1970s. About 1.2 million pounds of in-situ uranium is present at the site. Management Chairman: Bobby Cooper, CEO: Thomas Parker, CFO: John P.

Wisconsin Warriors

The Wisconsin Warriors were a football team in the Independent Women's Football League. Based in Greendale, the Warriors played their home games on the campus of Greendale High School. The Warriors were the defending IWFL North American Champions of 2009. History 2008 The Warriors were formed in 2007, continuing a legacy of women's football in SE Wisconsin perpetuated by the Wisconsin Riveters and Northern Ice among other teams. Their inaugural season was a struggle, as the Warriors only finished 2-6 and fourth place in the Midwest Division. 2009 In 2009 (after they had already been assigned a Tier I-strength schedule), the Warriors opted to move to Tier II. Though they had only finished 4-4 on the regular season, their team rating/strength of schedule (being the only Tier II team to pick up two wins against Tier I-both vs. the Minnesota Vixen), the Warriors wrapped up home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. In the first round, the Warriors dominated the Chattanooga Locomotion with a 32-6 victory. that task was not much more difficult in the following round; thanks to a 28-6 win over the Carolina Phoenix, the Warriors won the Regional Championship. On July 25, the Warriors won the IWFL Tier II North American Championship, defeating the defending champion Montreal Blitz, 42-14, at Round Rock ISD Athletic Stadium in Round Rock, Texas (a suburb of Austin). 2010 They finished 6-4 in 2010, won their division and beat the Memphis Belles in the quarterfinals of the Tier II playoffs but did not win the Tier that year as they lost in the semifinals. 2011 They moved up to Tier I in 2011. The Warriors were featured on Fox 6 twice. They would finish 8-0 that year, their first ever undefeated season, claimed the Midwest division title and made the Tier I playoffs where they would win a quarterfinal. But once again, they lost in the semifinals and wouldn't win the Tier title in 2011.

Mathias Soggemoen

Mathias Soggemoen (5 October 1847 – 1929) was a Norwegian railway worker, mountain climbing pioneer and guide. Mathias Johnsen Soggemoen was born the oldest of seven siblings in Rauma in Møre og Romsdal, Norway. In 1875, he married Ingeborg Olsdatter Sogge Brekken and settled at the village of Veblungsnes. They were the parents of nine children. Later in life, Mathias and Ingeborg Soggemoen emigrated to America with several of their children. Soggemoen is known for a number of first ascents of Norwegian mountains. Among his first ascents are Store Austanbotntind (1883, with Carl Hall), Store Styggedalstinden (1883, with Hall), Midtre Skagastølstind (1884, with Hall), Hjelledalstind (1884, with Hall), Storebjørn (1884, with Hall), and Sentraltind (1885, with Hall and Torger S. Sulheim). He also climbed Romsdalshornet in 1881. In 1886 Soggemoen and Hall made the first known ascent of Saksi ( 2,189 m.a.s.l.).

Johann Heinrich Samuel Formey

Johann Heinrich Samuel Formey (; 31 May 1711– 7 March 1797) was a German churchman, educator, author, and journalist. The son of an immigrant French family, he preached, taught, and wrote in French. A founding member of the Berlin Academy, he wrote thousands of letters, popularized scientific and philosophical ideas, and also contributed to Diderot's Encyclopédie. Life Formey was born in Berlin, Brandenburg, as the son of immigrant Huguenots. His mother died when he was three years old, and Samuel was brought up by two of his aunts. He was educated for the ministry, and at the age of twenty became pastor of the French Protestant church at Brandenburg. Having in 1736 accepted the invitation of a congregation in Berlin, he was in the following year chosen professor of rhetoric in the Collège Français there, and in 1739 professor of philosophy. His pupils included Louis de Beausobre, who was to become a philosopher and political economist of some standing in his own right. On the reorganisation of the Academy of Berlin in 1744, during Frederick the Great's reign, Formey was named a member, and in 1748 its perpetual secretary. The language between the scientists of the Academy, Latin, was changed into French. In 1750 he was appointed as a member of the Royal Society. Between 1741 and 1753, successive publishers in The Hague brought out the six volumes of Formey's La belle Wolfienne, which was his effort to explain the philosophy of Christian Wolff to women. This series began as a popularisation of Wolff's philosophy in the form of a philosophical romance, but by the end of the 4th volume, Formey abandoned fiction for a paraphrase and abridgement of Wolff's metaphysical works. These books made Wolff more known in France. Formey wrote during his life more than 17,000 letters, and corresponded several years with Francesco Algarotti, who in 1737 had published a book on Newtonianism for ladies.L'Anti-Sans-Souci, où la folie des Nouveaux philosophes (1760), which denied Frederick's authorship of the Oeuvres and stressed the king's piety is attributed to Formey, who did write the preface. Works Formey's principal works are La belle Wolfienne (1741–1753); Le Philosophe chrétien (1740); L'Emile chrétien (1764), intended as an answer to the Emile of Rousseau; and Souvenirs d'un citoyen (Berlin, 1789). He also published an immense number of contemporary memoirs in the transactions of the Berlin Academy. His correspondence with Prosper Marchand was published in 2012.

Western Cape Water Supply System

The Western Cape Water Supply System (WCWSS) is a complex water supply system in the Western Cape region of South Africa, comprising an inter-linked system of six main dams, pipelines, tunnels and distribution networks, and a number of minor dams, some owned and operated by the Department of Water and Sanitation and some by the City of Cape Town. Components The largest component of the WCWSS is the Riviersonderend-Berg River Government Water Scheme, which is a large inter-basin water transfer scheme that regulates the flow of the Sonderend River flowing South towards the Indian Ocean, the Berg River flowing North towards the Atlantic Ocean and Eerste River that flows into False Bay. The principal dams are all located in the Cape Fold Mountains to the east of Cape Town. They are: Theewaterskloof Dam Wemmershoek Dam Steenbras Dams (Upper and lower) Voëlvlei Dam Berg River Dam These six major dams provide 99.6% of the combined storage capacity, and 8 minor dams the remaining 0.4%. The levels of these dams are recorded and published in weekly reports by the Department of Water and Sanitation. The largest dam in the system is the Theewaterskloof Dam on the Sonderend River, with a storage capacity of 480 million cubic meters, or 41% of the total storage. It is linked to the Cape Town water system through the Faure treatment works via the Kleinplass balancing dam with a tunnel system through the Hottentots Holland Mountains. The Berg River dam (130 million cubic meter) was added to this system in 2009. Other storage dams of the WCWSS are the Voëlvlei Dam (159 million cubic meters), the Wemmershoek Dam (59 million cubic meter) in the Berg River basin, the Upper and Lower Steenbras Dams on the Steenbras River as well as the Palmiet Pumped Storage Scheme dams on the Palmiet River, from which water can be transferred to the Steenbras dams. In 2009 storage capacity in the system was increased by 17% from 768 to 898 million cubic metres through the completion of the Berg River Dam. Water use In 2009, 63% of the water in the system was being used for domestic and industrial purposes in the city of Cape Town, which has a population of over 4 million. Smaller towns used 5%, and 32% was used by agriculture. Within the city, in 2016/2017, 64.5% of water went to houses, flats and complexes, while 3.6% went to informal settlements. The system provides water to irrigate about 15,000ha of farmland, where high-value fruit and vegetables are grown. From the early 1970s until the mid-2000s water consumption in Cape Town increased by about 300%, increasing the competition for water with irrigated agriculture. This has been exacerbated by several unusually dry years, such as in 1994-1995 when storage in the system was only one third of average storage. Farmers have adapted by significantly improving irrigation efficiency and shifting even more land into the production of high-value crops. The system also generates pumped storage hydropower using an installed capacity of 400 Megawatt (MW) on the Palmiet River and 180MW on the Steenbras River.

SS Benjamin Chew

SS Benjamin Chew was a Liberty ship built in the United States during World War II. She was named after Benjamin Chew, a fifth-generation American, a Quaker-born legal scholar, a prominent and successful Philadelphia lawyer, head of the Pennsylvania Judiciary System under both Colony and Commonwealth, and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Province of Pennsylvania. Chew was well known for his precision and brevity in making legal arguments as well as his excellent memory, judgment, and knowledge of statutory law. Chew lived and practiced law in Philadelphia, four blocks from Independence Hall, and provided pro bono his knowledge of substantive law to America's Founding Fathers during the creation of the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights. Construction Benjamin Chew was laid down on 15 June 1942, under a Maritime Commission (MARCOM) contract, MCE hull 58, by the Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyard, Baltimore, Maryland; she was sponsored by Mrs. Andrew L. Jorgensen, the wife of a yard employee, and was launched on 10 August 1942. History She was allocated to Calmar Steamship Corp., on 21 August 1942. On 20 May 1948, she was laid up in the National Defense Reserve Fleet, Astoria, Oregon. On 2 June 1952, she was laid up in the National Defense Reserve Fleet, Wilmington, North Carolina. On 27 November 1954, she was withdrawn from the fleet for test conversion to steam turbine power. Ira S. Bushey & Sons, Inc., Brooklyn, New York, performed the conversion and she was reclassified EC2-S-8a. She had her reciprocating steam engine removed and a steam turbine, connected directly to the ship's propeller through double reduction gear, installed. At trials she ran above the requested . After conversion she was transferred to the Military Sea Transportation Service (MSTS). She was operated by United States Lines under a bareboat charter on the same route as another converted Liberty ship, . Thomas Nelson had been refit with diesel engines in order to compare efficiencies of various conversions. While both ship were able to run on Bunker C fuel oil, Thomas Nelson consumed less than half of Benjamin Chew while traveling at a higher speed and carrying more cargo. On 31 October 1958, she was laid up in the James River Reserve Fleet, Lee Hall, Virginia. She was removed from the fleet on 3 September 1966, for use by the MSTS. On 21 July 1969, she was laid up in the National Defense Reserve Fleet, Mobile, Alabama. She was sold for scrapping on 28 October 1971, to Union Minerals & Alloys Corp., along with three other ships, for $127,500. She was removed from the fleet, 8 February 1972.

Children's Art Project at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center

The Children's Art Project at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is a non-profit initiative that benefits patients in the Children’s Cancer Hospital at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. Marketing and sales of products based on the artwork of these young patients fund programs that support their educational, emotional and recreational needs. The artwork appears on seasonal notecards and a variety of gift items that are sold worldwide. Over the past 37 years, product sales have returned nearly $27 million to enhance patient services and patient-centered research at MD Anderson. History The Children’s Art Project (CAP) started with an MD Anderson volunteer’s observation about the quality of a young cancer patients’ art being “as pretty as a Christmas card.” In 1973, a few volunteers began work on the project by selling the artwork as Christmas cards to MD Anderson employees. The program’s name changed from the Children’s Christmas Card Project to the Children’s Art Project in 1995 to reflect the expanded scope of selling cards and products throughout the year. While CAP now has a small full-time paid staff, approximately 90% of the project work is accomplished by volunteers. Artwork Production A coordinator and several art volunteers teach weekly art classes to patients in the Children’s Cancer Hospital. The patients are instructed in a variety of mediums including watercolor, paint, clay, colored markers and pencils, and collage techniques. The artwork is archived by category and is kept active for many years. Because the inventory is extensive, it is possible to go back and pull out a design that has been waiting for several years to be used in the market. Development of products is based on suggestions from customers, volunteers, staff and trends in the marketplace. The Children’s Art Project conducts consumer market research, using test marketing and focus groups to help determine final product selections. Product Sales Children’s Art Project cards and gifts are sold in more than 2,000 retail outlets throughout Texas, Louisiana and Florida, with some locations in other states. Retailers who carry the products consider this a community service and make no profit. In addition to retail outlets, the Children’s Art Project attends off-site shows and holds trunk show events in private homes to introduce a community to MD Anderson and CAP. Products also are sold in MD Anderson gift shops and through consignees. CAP mails more than 700,000 catalogs and ships more than 16,000 packages a year. The direct mail portion of sales is supported by a database of about 85,000 individuals and corporations. In addition to an online store, the Children’s Art Project Boutique located in the Uptown Park Shopping Center in Houston sells a full line of CAP products. Support Programs Purchases from the Children’s Art Project help support programs that enable children to continue to enjoy their lives: Child Life Program — Child Life specialists provide therapeutic play activities and offer emotional support, offering each child understanding and a sense of control of their medical treatment. They also plan and implement daily activities and recreational programs

Retinoschisis

Retinoschisis is an eye disease characterized by the abnormal splitting of the retina's neurosensory layers, usually in the outer plexiform layer. Most common forms are asymptomatic, some rarer forms result in a loss of vision in the corresponding visual field. Almost all cases are X-linked recessive and caused by a mutation in the retinoschisin gene (RS1). Classification Hereditary X linked juvenile retinoschisis Familial foveal retinoschisis Tractional Exudative Secondary to Optic disc pit Degenerative Typical Reticular Degenerative retinoschisis This type of retinoschisis is very common with a prevalence of up to 7 percent in normal persons. Its cause is unknown. It can easily be confused with retinal detachment by the non-expert observer and in difficult cases even the expert may have difficulty differentiating the two. Such differentiation is important since retinal detachment almost always requires treatment while retinoschisis never itself requires treatment and leads to retinal detachment (and hence to visual loss) only occasionally. Unfortunately one still sees cases of uncomplicated retinoschisis treated by laser retinopexy or cryopexy in an attempt to stop its progression towards the macula. Such treatments are not only ineffective but unnecessarily risk complications. There is no documented case in the literature of degenerative retinoschisis itself (as opposed to the occasional situation of retinal detachment complicating retinoschisis) in which the splitting of the retina has progressed through the fovea. There is no clinical utility in differentiating between typical and reticular retinoschisis. Degenerative retinoschisis is not known to be a genetically inherited condition. There is always vision loss in the region of the schisis as the sensory retina is separated from the ganglion layer. But as the loss is in the periphery, it goes unnoticed. It is the very rare schisis that encroaches on the macula where retinopexy is then properly used. Hereditary retinoschisis Hereditary retinoschisis is derived from a defective retinoschisin protein, which is due to an X-linked genetic defect. The genetic form of this disease usually starts during childhood and is called X-linked Juvenile Retinoschisis (XLRS) or Congenital Retinoschisis. Affected males are usually identified in grade school, but occasionally are identified as young infants. It is estimated that this much less common form of retinoschisis affects one in 5,000 to 25,000 individuals, primarily young males. Schisis is derived from the Greek word meaning splitting, describing the splitting of the retinal layers from each other. However, schisis is a word fragment, and the term retinoschisis should be used, as should the term iridoschisis when describing splitting of the iris. If the retinoschisis involves the macula, then the high-resolution central area of vision used to view detail is lost, and this is one form of macular disease. Although it might be described by some as a "degeneration", the term macular degeneration should be reserved for the specific disease "age-related macular degeneration". Very few affected individuals go completely blind from retinoschisis, but some sufferers have very limited reading vision and are "legally blind". Visual acuity can be reduced to less than 20/200 in both eyes. Individuals affected by XLRS are at an increased risk for retinal detachment and eye hemorrhage, among
