Chastity (given name)
75,679,562
Chastity is a feminine given name meaning purity. It comes from the Late Latin word castitas. According to some sources, it was one of many virtue names in use by Puritans in the Colonial United States. The name increased in usage in the United States in the early 1970s after it was used by Sonny Bono and Cher for their child Chaz Bono, who was originally named Chastity Bono, in 1969. Chasity is a modern variant. Other modern spelling variants and name variants in use include Chasidy, Chassidy, Chassiti, Chassity, Chastady, Chastidy, Chastitea, Chastitee, Chastitey, Chastiti, and Chastitie. Some other variations of the name in use in the United States during the 19th century were Chassie, Chasta, Chasteen, Chastin, Chastina, Chastine, and Chasty. Some sources note that a girl named Chastity might not resemble the meaning of the name.

Usage
Chastity was among the 1,000 most popular given names for girls in the United States between 1972 and 1993. It peaked in usage in 1976, when it was the 306th most popular name for American girls. Variant Chasity was among the 1,000 most popular names for American girls between 1972 and 2008. Both names remain in occasional use in the United States.

Indium arsenide antimonide
75,679,597
Indium arsenide antimonide, also known as indium antimonide arsenide or InAsSb (InAs1-xSbx), is a ternary III-V semiconductor compound. It can be considered as an alloy between indium arsenide (InAs) and indium antimonide (InSb). x indicates the fractions of arsenic and antimony in the alloy according to the aforementioned formula; it can take on any value between 0 and 1. InAsSb refers generally to any composition of the alloy.
Indium arsenide antimonide
75,679,597
Preparation
InAsSb films have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) and liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) on gallium arsenide and gallium antimonide substrates. It is often incorporated into layered heterostructures with other III-V compounds.
Indium arsenide antimonide
75,679,597
Preparation
Between 524°C and 942°C (the melting points of pure InSb and InAs, respectively), InAsSb can exist at a two-phase liquid-solid equilibrium, depending on temperature and average composition of the alloy.
Indium arsenide antimonide
75,679,597
Preparation
InAsSb possesses an additional miscibility gap at temperatures below approximately 503°C. This means that intermediate compositions of the alloy below this temperature are thermodynamically unstable and can spontaneously separate into two phases: one InAs-rich and one InSb-rich. This limits the compositions of InAsSb that can be obtained by near-equilibrium growth techniques, such as LPE, to those outside of the miscibility gap. However, compositions of InAsSb within the miscibility gap can be obtained with non-equilibrium growth techniques, such as MBE and MOVPE. By carefully selecting the growth conditions and maintaining relatively low temperatures during and after growth, it is possible to obtain compositions of InAsSb within the miscibility gap that are kinetically stable.
Indium arsenide antimonide
75,679,597
Electronic Properties
The bandgap and lattice constant of InAsSb alloys are between those of pure InAs (a = 0.606 nm, Eg = 0.35 eV) and InSb (a = 0.648 nm, Eg = 0.17 eV). Over all compositions, the band gap is direct, like in InAs and InSb. The direct bandgap displays strong bowing, reaching a minimium with respect to composition at approximately x = 0.62 at room temperature and lower temperatures. Slightly different relations have also been suggested for Eg as a function of composition and temperature, depending on the material quality, strain, and defect density.
Indium arsenide antimonide
75,679,597
Applications
Because of its small direct bandgap, InAsSb has been extensively studied over the last few decades, predominantly for use in mid- to long-wave infrared photodetectors that operate at room temperature and cryogenic temperatures. InAsSb is used as the active material in some commercially-available infrared photodetectors. Depending on the heterostructure and detector configuration that is used, InAsSb-based detectors can operate at wavelengths ranging from approximately 2 um to 11 um.

Breckenridge STOLport
75,679,689
Breckenridge STOLport was a private airport located in Breckenridge, Colorado. Due to its location at 9,401 feet (2,865 m) in elevation, the airport was considered a short takeoff and landing field, limiting the size and weight of aircraft that could use it. The airport was established between 1960 and 1963 as Hanson Airfield, serving private pilots. Numerous attempts were made by proponents for commercial aviation to establish a public airport at Breckenridge STOLport, but none of them were successful. The last aircraft to use the airport was to avoid poor weather in 2005. Since then, the site of the airport has been repurposed for the construction of an elementary school, housing, and parking for Breckenridge Ski Resort visitors. The only remaining evidence of the airport's existence is Airport Road, which parallels the site.

The song conveys a message of patience, faith, and perseverance in the face of challenges, particularly during difficult times such as poverty and bareness.
Nya Abotare Na Twen Awurade
75,679,739
Daddy Lumba sings on the hook: "Patiently wait for the Lord, Do not be disheartened. Even with just a day left, We'll wear our crowns before we depart. Even in the depths of poverty (have faith), Even in dire poverty (have faith),With only one day until death, We'll wear our crowns before we go."
Nya Abotare Na Twen Awurade
75,679,739
He continues on the second verse, taking a dig at his enemies: "They want my downfall, so they rejoice, They wish for my ruin, so they celebrate. Kwadwo Fosuh, my name’s tarnished daily, But I won't fade away."
Nya Abotare Na Twen Awurade
75,679,739
In the final verse, Daddy Lumba implored those going through hard times to find inspiration in his own struggles during his sickness. He shared that when he thought all hope was lost, the Lord intervened. He sings: Did you hear about the illness I endured? Did you hear of my excruciating pain? Many declared there was no hope, But the Lord intervened!"

Early life
Ronci made her First Confession, First Communion, and Confirmation aged six years old. Her family's financial circumstances did not allow her to progress beyond elementary education: from her fifth grade, she learned to be a seamstress, and looked after a goat to procure fresh milk. In her spare time, Ronci was a babysitter and helped in the family shop.

Religious life
Ronci began frequenting the Ursuline Sisters of Verona in 1950, aged 14, during the holy year proclaimed by Pope Pius XII. She was struck by the nuns who ran the kindergarten in Torre Pedrera, and began her spiritual journey, guided by the nuns and her parish priest. She joined the youth apostolate of Azione Cattolica, and was entrusted with catechising ten girls, who grew in number to thirty.

On 20 October 1956, Ronci took a private vow of chastity. On 19 August 1957, she made a vow of poverty. She expressed her desire to discern a religious vocation with the Ursulines, but was discouraged by her friends, family, and parish priest.

Religious life
On 3 February 1958, with her mother's complicity, Ronci escaped to the Ursuline novitiate in Scanzorosciate, Bergamo. She was frequently visited by her father, a staunch communist, who took her home by force on 9 March 1958. Though Ronci returned to the novitiate, after four months, the Mother Superior decided that her family's resistance indicated Ronci's unsuitability for the religious life.
