For the propagation of light in a semi-transparent medium, specific intensity is not invariant along a ray, because of absorption and emission. Nevertheless, the Stokes-Helmholtz reversion-reciprocity principle applies, because absorption and emission are the same for both senses of a given direction at a point in a stationary medium. |

The term étendue is used to focus attention specifically on the geometrical aspects. The reciprocal character of étendue is indicated in the article about it. Étendue is defined as a second differential. In the notation of the present article, the second differential of the étendue, , of the pencil of light which "connects" the two surface elements and is defined as

This can help understand the geometrical aspects of the Stokes-Helmholtz reversion-reciprocity principle. |
27339211_5_0 | 27339211 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific%20radiative%20intensity | Specific radiative intensity | Specific radiative intensity. Collimated beam
For the present purposes, the light from a star can be treated as a practically collimated beam, but apart from this, a collimated beam is rarely if ever found in nature, though artificially produced beams can be very nearly collimated. For some purposes the rays of the sun can be considered as practically collimated, because the sun subtends an angle of only 32′ of arc. The specific (radiative) intensity is suitable for the description of an uncollimated radiative field. The integrals of specific (radiative) intensity with respect to solid angle, used for the definition of spectral flux density, are singular for exactly collimated beams, or may be viewed as Dirac delta functions. Therefore, the specific (radiative) intensity is unsuitable for the description of a collimated beam, while spectral flux density is suitable for that purpose. |
27339211_6_0 | 27339211 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific%20radiative%20intensity | Specific radiative intensity | Specific radiative intensity. Rays
Specific (radiative) intensity is built on the idea of a pencil of rays of light. |
27339211_6_1 | 27339211 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific%20radiative%20intensity | Specific radiative intensity | Specific radiative intensity. Rays
In an optically isotropic medium, the rays are normals to the wavefronts, but in an optically anisotropic crystalline medium, they are in general at angles to those normals. That is to say, in an optically anisotropic crystal, the energy does not in general propagate at right angles to the wavefronts. |
27339211_7_0 | 27339211 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific%20radiative%20intensity | Specific radiative intensity | Specific radiative intensity. Alternative approaches
The specific (radiative) intensity is a radiometric concept. Related to it is the intensity in terms of the photon distribution function, which uses the metaphor of a particle of light that traces the path of a ray. |
27339211_7_1 | 27339211 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific%20radiative%20intensity | Specific radiative intensity | Specific radiative intensity. Alternative approaches
The idea common to the photon and the radiometric concepts is that the energy travels along rays. |
27339211_7_2 | 27339211 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific%20radiative%20intensity | Specific radiative intensity | Specific radiative intensity. Alternative approaches
Another way to describe the radiative field is in terms of the Maxwell electromagnetic field, which includes the concept of the wavefront. The rays of the radiometric and photon concepts are along the time-averaged Poynting vector of the Maxwell field. In an anisotropic medium, the rays are not in general perpendicular to the wavefront. |

I Will Fight No More Forever is a 1975 made-for-television Western film starring James Whitmore as General Oliver O. Howard and Ned Romero as Chief Joseph. It is a dramatization of Chief Joseph's resistance to the U.S. government's forcible removal of his Nez Perce Indian tribe to a reservation in Idaho. |

Set in 1877, the story follows Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe, who lived in the border area of Idaho and Oregon. As President Ulysses S. Grant permits white settlers to come to both territories, the native Nez Perce fight back and defy the order from Grant to leave their home ground. The U.S. Army, commanded by General Oliver Howard (a Civil War Veteran) is then sent out to push the tribe out, leading to war. The fight between whites (both soldiers and settlers) and tribe members increases, leading Joseph to try for an escape to Canada, but deep down he fears a long, costly fight with a tough enemy. As he says to one member of the tribe who killed a white man for another tribe member's murder on the eve of war, "You have had your revenge. Now the white man will have his". |

The Lakes Argyle and Kununurra Ramsar Site comprises an extensive system of artificial freshwater reservoirs, with their associated permanent wetlands, formed by damming the Ord River in the eastern part of the Kimberley region of northern Western Australia. The reservoirs include Lake Argyle and Lake Kununurra. There are numerous endemic plants and a rich fauna. The site was designated a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention on 7 June 1990, making it Ramsar Site 478. |

The diversion dam on the Ord River was completed in 1963 as the first stage of the Ord River Irrigation Scheme. It flooded the Ord valley upstream towards the site of the Argyle Dam, creating Lake Kununurra and subsidiary wetlands such as Lily Creek Lagoon and the Packsaddle Swamps. The Argyle Dam was completed in 1972 as the second stage of the scheme, creating Lake Argyle. The town of Kununurra was built at the site of the diversion dam, adjoining Lake Kununurra and Lily Creek Lagoon. Human use of the area includes irrigated tropical agriculture, diamond mining and exploration, and with tourism becoming increasingly important. |

Water levels in Lake Argyle fluctuate annually by about but those in Lake Kununurra and its associated wetlands are kept constant except for short periods when levels are lowered to control weed growth. There are dead trees throughout the wetland system which were killed by permanent flooding following dam construction. The lakes are deep and there are large areas of open water without aquatic plants. The large fluctuation in water levels in Lake Argyle has prevented vegetation establishment along most of the shoreline. However, because water levels are stable in Lake Kununurra and its associated wetlands, they have developed densely vegetated margins, with aquatic plants fringed by bulrushes, grassland and savanna woodland. Tree species found on the wetland margins include broad-leaved paperbark, Eucalyptus microtheca, river red gum, Nauclea orientalis, Sesbania formosa and Lophostemon grandiflorus. |

The lakes form an important dry season refuge for waterbirds, with regular numbers of over 20,000 and sometimes of up to 200,000 individuals. Lake Argyle contains some of the largest aggregations of waterbirds in northern Australia. Abundant species include glossy ibis (with up to 6,000 counted), magpie goose (10,500), wandering whistling duck (11,000), plumed whistling duck (4,300), radjah shelduck (900), Pacific black duck (16,000), grey teal (17,200), pink-eared duck (1,800), hardhead (51,400), green pygmy goose (1,500) and Eurasian coot (50,000). The two lakes are a stronghold of the comb-crested jacana. Over 200 terrestrial and aquatic bird species have been recorded in the area, which also supports several kinds of microbats, the little red and black flying-foxes, rakali, and large numbers of freshwater crocodiles. |

The Printing plant of Ogonyok magazine in Moscow, designed by El Lissitzky, is likely the only extant building based on Lissitzky's blueprints. Located at 17, 1st Samotechny Lane, it is Lissitzky's sole tangible work of architecture. It was commissioned in 1932 by Ogonyok magazine to be used as a print shop. In June 2007 the independent Russky Avangard foundation filed a request to list the building on the heritage register. In September 2007 the city commission (Moskomnasledie) approved the request and passed it to the city government for a final approval, which happened in August 2008. In October 2008, the abandoned building was badly damaged by fire.

John Hendry Park is 27-hectare park in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It's operated by the Vancouver Park Board and the Grandview Community Association. Locals often refer to the park informally as Trout Lake, due to the lake itself being its largest feature. It’s a focal point of the Cedar Cottage neighbourhood. |
27339393_0_1 | 27339393 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%20Hendry%20Park | John Hendry Park | John Hendry Park. History
The park was one of Vancouver's first lumbering operations in the late 19th century. The lake was the water source for the Hastings Sawmill, which was owned by industrialist John Hendry. In 1926, Hendry's daughter, who was married to then-governor of BC Eric Hamber, donated the mill property to the Park Board with the condition that it be named after her father. |

Gregory Roman Skibiski (born 1973), is an American entrepreneur. Skibiski founded Thasos Group, an artificial intelligence based data analytics firm that uses real-time locations from mobile phones worldwide to provide information for the financial services industry. Skibiski was also the Founder and former Chairman & CEO of Sense Networks, a New York City based company focused on analyzing big data from mobile phones and carrier networks. Skibiski is named lead inventor on three patent applications for analyzing emerging sensor data streams from mobile phones, culminating in the Macrosense, Citysense , and Cabsense products. |
27339435_0_1 | 27339435 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg%20Skibiski | Greg Skibiski | Greg Skibiski.
Citysense was named by ReadWriteWeb (in The New York Times) as "Top 10 Internet of Things Products of 2009". Sense Networks was called "The Next Google" on the cover of Newsweek. In a 2018 profile article on Skibiski, The Wall Street Journal stated that "Thasos is at the vanguard of companies trying to help traders get ahead of stock moves [..] using so-called alternative data". |
27339435_0_2 | 27339435 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg%20Skibiski | Greg Skibiski | Greg Skibiski. Life and career
Originally from Northampton, Massachusetts, Skibiski attended the Williston Northampton School from 1985 through 1991. He received his bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from Bucknell University in 1996 and his MBA from HEC Paris in 2006. Skibiski was also one of the first employees at BackWeb Technologies, a Tel Aviv based internet infrastructure software company that had a successful NASDAQ IPO in 1999. |
27339435_0_3 | 27339435 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg%20Skibiski | Greg Skibiski | Greg Skibiski.
Several years later, Skibiski approached Alex "Sandy" Pentland (Head of Human Dynamics Research at the MIT Media Lab) with the idea that large amounts of location data being collected by mobile phones and GPS devices could be useful to economists. Technology to do that analysis did not exist at the time. |
27339435_0_4 | 27339435 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg%20Skibiski | Greg Skibiski | Greg Skibiski.
Skibiski's original theory was that analyzing large amounts of location data from mobile phones and vehicles would provide value to the financial services and retail industries, enabling "an entirely new business model for location-based services" based on monetizing macro trends in spending and sentiment. For retailers, Skibiski hoped to be able to provide information ranging from additional places their customers shop to how far people travel to get to their stores. He further envisioned Web analysis type tools, determining where customers were immediately prior to entering a business locale – essentially a real-world "referring site" concept. |

It became apparent that trends in how far shoppers are willing to travel to get to a store like Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue or Nordstrom could indicate monthly trends in that store's sales. People who worked in a city's financial district would to go to work early when the market was booming, but later in the day when markets were down. Plotting San Francisco nightlife patterns on the same graph as the Dow Jones Industrial Average showed that, just before the market peak in July 2008, urban party-goers hit the town at later-than-ever times. Beginning in mid-2006 Skibiski's firm used location data to operate a trading portfolio. |

Skibiski was pushed out by lead investor Intel Capital in November 2009 shortly after closing the company's B round of financing, in the same week the company was named one of "The 25 Most Intriguing Startups in the World" by Bloomberg Businessweek and won the Emerging Communications Conference "Company to Watch" Award. |

Although there have been doubts as to its practicality, Skibiski has been an advocate for the New Deal on Data, as created and evangelized by Alex "Sandy" Pentland from The MIT Media Lab. "The idea behind the New Deal on Data is based on Old English Common Law saying you have the right to possess something, use it and dispose of it. "So if you’re a company and you're keeping their location data, the end user should own it and have a say over whether it should be destroyed". |
27339435_0_8 | 27339435 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg%20Skibiski | Greg Skibiski | Greg Skibiski.
The New Deal on Data also provides for the aggregate, anonymous use of location data for the public good, such as predicting Tuberculosis outbreaks in Africa. "If you can find and identify an outbreak just one week earlier, you’re saving thousands of lives". |

The Southwest Australia savanna is an ecoregion in Western Australia. |
27339448_0_1 | 27339448 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest%20Australia%20savanna | Southwest Australia savanna | Southwest Australia savanna. Location and description
The southwest Australia savanna is at the transition between the Mediterranean climate ecoregions of Australia's southwest corner and the deserts and xeric shrublands to the north and inland. Much of the area is now converted to wheat-growing. The latitude of this region is 8° to 20° on the equator. |
27339448_0_2 | 27339448 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest%20Australia%20savanna | Southwest Australia savanna | Southwest Australia savanna.
The ecoregion is bounded by the drier Carnarvon xeric shrublands to the north, and the Western Australian Mulga shrublands to the northeast. Mediterranean-climate ecoregions lie to the east and south – the Coolgardie woodlands to the east, the Esperance mallee to the southeast, and the Southwest Australia woodlands to the southwest. It is bounded on the west by the Indian Ocean. |
27339448_0_3 | 27339448 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest%20Australia%20savanna | Southwest Australia savanna | Southwest Australia savanna.
The ecoregion contains three Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia (IBRA) regions – Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, and Yalgoo. |
27339448_0_4 | 27339448 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest%20Australia%20savanna | Southwest Australia savanna | Southwest Australia savanna. Flora
The ecoregion is part of the Southwest Australia biodiversity hotspot. |
27339448_0_5 | 27339448 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest%20Australia%20savanna | Southwest Australia savanna | Southwest Australia savanna.
The original habitat consists of savanna dotted with eucalyptus woodland, mallee woodlands and shrublands, and heath. Although the more fertile southern areas have now mostly been converted to wheat fields, more original savanna remains in the north of the region where there are more acacia trees than eucalyptus. Plants of the region include many wildflowers and trees including the scented Acacia rostellifera. The best-preserved area of original habitat is found in and around the multi-colored sandstone gorges of Kalbarri National Park on the Murchison River. |
27339448_0_6 | 27339448 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest%20Australia%20savanna | Southwest Australia savanna | Southwest Australia savanna. Fauna
Birds of the area include the emu, although this has been hunted as a pest by the wheat-growing community, and the honey-eating western spinebill. Mammals include the honey possum (Tarsipes rostratus) and the southwestern pygmy possum (Cercartetus concinnus), both of which feed on nectar from the wildflowers. |
27339448_0_7 | 27339448 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest%20Australia%20savanna | Southwest Australia savanna | Southwest Australia savanna. Protected Areas
A 2017 assessment found that 15,778 km², or 9%, of the ecoregion is in protected areas. They include Kalbarri National Park, Alexander Morrison National Park, Badgingarra National Park, Beekeepers Nature Reserve, Pinjarrega Nature Reserve, Toolonga Nature Reserve, Wandana Nature Reserve, and Zuytdorp Nature Reserve. |

While attending the 1/1 RX-78-2 Gundam display event in Odaiba's Shiokaze Park, Haru Irei goes to the merchandise section to choose a Gunpla kit. When he fails to pick up the last available High Grade (HG) 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam kit, he discovers the HG 1/144 GPB-X80 Beginning Gundam and makes it his own. With his newly assembled kit, Haru participates in Gunpla Battle, a virtual simulation game where players have their Gunpla models scanned and battle each other with them. |

After his first encounter with the mysterious Boris Schauer and his HG 1/144 GPB-X38-30 Forever Gundam, Haru upgrades his Beginning Gundam before he and his friends Kenta Sakazaki and Rina Noyama enter the national Gunpla Battle tournament. The tournament ends with no clear winner, with Haru and Boris continuing to clash their beam sabers at each other. One year later, all of the main Gunpla kits of the series are on display at a hobby shop as Haru encourages younger kids to follow the same path he took. |

In a Gunpla Battle, participants enter simulation cockpits that resemble the linear seats of later-Universal Century mobile suits. They place their Gunpla models in a scanning device that resembles a Haro unit. Oversized Haro units are also available to scan larger kits such as the 1/144 RX-78 GP03 Dendrobium. From there, they pilot their mobile suits in a simulated battlefield such as Tokyo or A Baoa Qu. |

It is important to note that the mobile suit's statistics are relevant to the build quality of the Gunpla model. For example, a fully detailed Gunpla model with high quality paint and adhesive will perform better in a Gunpla Battle than one that is simply built straight out of the box. In addition, the scale of the Gunpla model is crucial in Gunpla Battle. For instance, a participant can pilot a Big Zam mobile armor, but if the Gunpla kit is 1/550 scale, then it is actually smaller in the battlefield than a 1/144 scale mobile suit. |

The Beginning Gundam is Haru's first Gunpla bought at Shiokaze Park. A close-combat-type mobile suit equipped with nine beam-sabers, head-mounted beam vulcan cannons, a beam rifle and an asymmetrically designed shield. Haru uses three beam sabers at once in combat, which was not intended in the original design, as the kit would surpass the power of most of the normal Gunpla kits. On its first Gunpla Battle, the Beginning Gundam defeats Koji's custom Hi-ν Gundam, but is quickly challenged and defeated by the veteran master builder Boris Schauer and his Forever Gundam. Following this match, Haru works hard to rebuild and detail the Beginning Gundam to improve its performance. |

The Beginning 30 Gundam is an upgraded version of the Beginning Gundam using an exclusive "IFS Unit" parts runner provided by Haru's father with some design output by Boris Schauer. The Gundam is now outfitted with extra armor and vernier boosters for increased performance and defense. The unit is also capable of using its beam sabers as bits and is armed with an I-Field generator. |

The Forever Gundam is Boris Schauer's customized Gunpla based on the 1/144 High Grade Version G30th (HG Ver.G30th) RX-78-2 Gundam, with additional armor and four detachable Variable Speed Beam Rifle (VSBR) funnels. As the chest armor covers the beam saber holders on the backpack, the beam sabers are mounted on the forearms. |

The Hi-ν Gundam GPB Color is Koji's Gunpla that he uses to challenge Haru. Apparently a customized version of the 1/144 High Grade Universal Century (HGUC) RX-93-ν2 Hi-ν (Nu) Gundam with an original white and black color scheme. In animation production, three kits of Hi-ν Gundam were used in order to obtain three pairs of movable fin funnels (in the actual Gunpla, only one pair is movable). In episode one, the Hi-ν is defeated by the Beginning Gundam, as it was built by Koji's manager, who did not discover a weak polycap on its left hip. In episode 3, Koji rebuilds the kit by himself; however, it is defeated by the Beginning 30 in the A Baoa Qu stage of the Gunpla Battle tournament. |

The Super Custom Zaku F2000 is Tatsu's customized, heavily armed Gunpla, based on the 1/144 HGUC MS-06F2 Zaku F2. It is colored purple and dark gray. Armament consists of a Deadend G Heat Hawk, Super Custom MMP-80 90mm Machine Gun and MMP-78 120mm Zaku Machine Gun, a forearm-mounted machine gun and shoulder-mounted missile launchers. In addition, the Zaku F2000 has two additional arms to hold all of its weaponry. The Zaku F2000 displays its lethal potential in episode 2 by heavily damaging Kenta's Byaku Shiki, but reveals its Achilles' heel when the poor-quality cement and putty used on the kit causes the armor parts to go brittle and crumble off the suit. This results in a swift defeat at the hands of Haru and his rebuilt Beginning Gundam. In episode 3, Tatsu rebuilds the kit with improved materials and is seen destroying an RX-78 GP03S Gundam Stamen in the A Baoa Qu stage. |

The Beargguy is Rina's customized Gunpla, a modified 1/144 HGUC MSM-04 Acguy with a teddy bear head. Beargguy is a high-firepower mobile suit carrying with a recorder-like beam rifle and a missile launcher backpack designed to resemble a school satchel bag. Its bear eyes are actually mega-beam launchers - a play on the term "Beam Launcher from the eye", which can be pronounced the same in Japanese. (The HG model kit provides eye stickers with emotions as additional parts.) In episode 3, the Beargguy's mega-beam launchers nearly destroy Diane's Kämpfer. |

The Hyaku Shiki (GPB Color "Byaku Shiki") is Kenta's customized build of the 1/144 HGUC Hyaku Shiki with Mega Beam Launcher. Kenta painted it white and changed the original kit's "Hyaku" mark (百) to the kanji for white (白), calling it "Byaku Shiki" (白式). During its battle in episode 2, the Byaku Shiki loses its legs to an attack by Tatsu's Zaku F2000, but it manages to inflict damage on the Zaku F2000 firing its hyper bazooka at its chest armor. |
