List of 1996 British incumbents
This is a **list of 1996 British incumbents**.
Ichinomiya
listing all the Ichimomiya is a Japanese historical term referring to the Shinto shrines with the highest rank in a province. Shrines of lower rank were designated , , , and so forth. *Encyclopedia of Shinto*, *Ichi no miya*; retrieved 2013\-5\-14\. The term gave rise to modern place names, such as the city of Ichinomiya, Aichi, named after Masumida Shrine in the former Owari Province.
CIA Museum
The **CIA Museum**, administered by the Center for the Study of Intelligence, a department of the Central Intelligence Agency, is a national archive for the collection, preservation, documentation and exhibition of intelligence artifacts, culture, and history. The collection, which in 2005 numbered 3,500 items, consists of artifacts that have been declassified; however, since the museum is on the compound of the George Bush Center for Intelligence, it is not accessible to the public. Since the museum cannot be visited by the public, the CIA Museum has partnerships with Presidential Libraries and other major museums and institutions to develop public exhibitions dedicated to understanding the craft of intelligence and its role in the broader American experience. The CIA Museum has counterparts at other agencies in the United States Intelligence Community. The National Cryptologic Museum (which is open to the public in Annapolis Junction, Maryland) is the NSA counterpart to the CIA Museum and focuses on cryptology as opposed to human intelligence. The DIA Museum (Defense Intelligence Agency) is not public, is housed at its headquarters and focuses on the history of military intelligence and DIA's role. The FBI Museum housed at its headquarters is also off\-limits to the public, and is focused on its history as a federal law enforcement, counterintelligence, and counter\-terrorism organization.
Reginald Scot
**Reginald Scot** (or **Scott**) ( – 9 October 1599\) was an Englishman and Member of Parliament, the author of *The Discoverie of Witchcraft*, which was published in 1584\. It was written against the belief in witches, to show that witchcraft did not exist. Part of its content exposes how (apparently miraculous) feats of magic were done, and the book is often deemed the first textbook on conjuring.

Special Forces (Alice Cooper album)
* + ***Special Forces*** is the sixth solo studio album by American rock singer Alice Cooper, released in September 1981 by Warner Bros. Records. It was produced by Richard Podolor, best known for his work with Three Dog Night. *Special Forces* is the first of three studio albums which Cooper refers to as his "blackout" albums, followed by *Zipper Catches Skin* (1982\), and *DaDa* (1983\), as he has no recollection of recording them, due to substance abuse. Cooper stated "I wrote them, recorded them and toured them and I don't remember much of any of that",Love And Poison, An Alice Cooper Interview though in fact he toured only *Special Forces*. The *Special Forces* tour started on June 20, 1981, in Concord, USA, well before the album was eventually released. On October 9, Alice Cooper was interviewed on *The Tomorrow Show* with Tom Snyder, looking very gaunt in full military\-drag make\-up, after which he gave live performances of "Who Do You Think We Are" and his cover version of Love's "Seven and Seven Is", both from the album. Cooper toured *Special Forces* through the United States, Canada, France, Spain and the United Kingdom, but other than the aforementioned songs he played no further *Special Forces* songs live, except for snippets of "Vicious Rumours" at a few shows in the U.S. and Scotland.Gray, Iain; "Apollo, Glasgow: Alice Cooper"; in *The Glasgow Herald*; February 22, 1982; p. 4 With the exception of "Who Do You Think We Are", which was a regular part of setlists during the Eyes of Alice Cooper tour in 2004,Alice Cooper Tour Archive none of the songs from *Special Forces* has been performed live since 1982\.Alice Cooper Tour Archive French television special *Alice Cooper a Paris* was recorded in December 1981 and aired on January 14, before the start of the *Special Forces* European tour – Cooper's first tour of Europe since 1975\. The tour was a major success. The *Special Forces* tour, ending in February 1982, would be Cooper's last for over four years, as he succumbed to the abuse of freebase cocaine and a subsequent relapse of alcoholism, until his return to the road in October 1986 with The Nightmare Returns tour.
Southeastern Power Administration
The **Southeastern Power Administration** is a United States Power Marketing Administration with responsibility for marketing hydroelectric power from 22 water projects operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the states of West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky. Southeastern was created in 1950 by the Secretary of the Interior to carry out functions assigned to the Secretary by the Flood Control Act of 1944\. In 1977, it was transferred to the United States Department of Energy when that department was created.About Us, Southeastern Power Administration website, accessed January 23, 2009 The agency is headquartered in Elberton, Georgia.

Rainout (radioactivity)
A **rainout** is the process of precipitation causing the removal of radioactive particles from the atmosphere onto the ground, creating nuclear fallout by rain. The rainclouds of the rainout are often formed by the particles of a nuclear explosion itself and because of this, the decontamination of rainout is more difficult than a "dry" fallout. In atmospheric science, rainout also refers to the removal of soluble species—not necessarily radioactive—from the atmosphere by precipitation.
The Ninth Day
***The Ninth Day*** is a 2004 German historical drama film directed by Volker Schlöndorff and starring Ulrich Matthes and August Diehl. It was released by Kino International.

Famille jaune, noire, rose, verte
, Yongzheng reign (1723–1735\) ***Famille jaune, noire, rose, verte*** are terms used in the West to classify Chinese porcelain of the Qing dynasty by the dominant colour of its enamel palette. These wares were initially grouped under the French names of ("green family"), and (pink family) by Albert Jacquemart in 1862\. The other terms (yellow) and (black) may have been introduced later by dealers or collectors and they are generally considered subcategories of *famille verte*. *Famille verte* porcelain was produced mainly during the Kangxi era, while *famille rose* porcelain was popular in the 18th and 19th century. Much of the Chinese production was Jingdezhen porcelain, and a large proportion were made for export to the West, but some of the finest were made for the Imperial court.
Ian Roberts (rugby league)
**Ian Roberts** (born 31 July 1965\) is an Australian actor and former professional rugby league player who played in the 1980s and 1990s. A forward, he played for New South Wales in State of Origin and won 13 caps for the Australia national team. He played club football for the South Sydney Rabbitohs, Wigan, Manly Warringah Sea Eagles and North Queensland Cowboys. In 1995 Roberts became the first high\-profile Australian sports person and first rugby footballer in the world to come out to the public as gay.
Dry media reaction
A **dry media reaction** or **solid\-state reaction** or **solventless reaction** is a chemical reaction performed in the absence of a solvent. Dry media reactions have been developed in the wake of developments in microwave chemistry, and are a part of green chemistry. The drive for the development of dry media reactions in chemistry is: * economics (save money on solvents) * ease of purification (no solvent removal post\-synthesis) * high reaction rate (due to high concentration of reactants) * environmentally friendly (solvent is not required), see green chemistry Drawbacks to overcome: * reactants should mix to a homogeneous system * high viscosity in reactant system * unsuitable for solvent assisted chemical reactions * problems with dissipating heat safely; risk of thermal runaway * side reactions accelerated * if reagents are solids, very high energy consumption from milling In one type of solventless reaction a liquid reactant is used neat, for instance the reaction of 1\-bromonaphthalene with Lawesson's reagent is done with no added liquid solvent, but the 1\-bromonaphthalene acts as a solvent. A reaction which is closer to a true solventless reaction is a Knoevenagel condensation of ketones with (malononitrile) where a 1:1 mixture of the two reactants (and ammonium acetate) is irradiated in a microwave oven. Colin Raston's research group have been responsible for a number of new solvent free reactions. In some of these reactions all the starting materials are solids, they are ground together with some sodium hydroxide to form a liquid, which turns into a paste which then hardens to a solid. In another development the two components of an aldol reaction are combined with the asymmetric catalyst S\-proline in a ball mill in a mechanosynthesis. The reaction product has 97% enantiomeric excess. A reaction rate acceleration is observed in several systems when a homogeneous solvent system is rapidly evaporated in a rotavap in a vacuum, one of them a Wittig reaction. The reaction goes to completion in 5 minutes with immediate evaporation whereas the same reaction in solution after the same 5 minutes (dichloromethane) has only 70% conversion and even after 24 hours some of the aldehyde remains.

Timeline of solar cells
In the 19th century, it was observed that the sunlight striking certain materials generates detectable electric current – the photoelectric effect. This discovery laid the foundation for solar cells. Solar cells have gone on to be used in many applications. They have historically been used in situations where electrical power from the grid was unavailable. As the invention was brought out it made solar cells as a prominent utilization for power generation for satellites. Satellites orbit the Earth, thus making solar cells a prominent source for power generation through the sunlight falling on them. Solar cells are commonly used in satellites in today's times.
Quantization (linguistics)
In formal semantics, a predicate is **quantized** if it being true of an entity requires that it is *not* true of any proper subparts of that entity. For example, if something is an "apple", then no proper subpart of that thing is an "apple". If something is "water", then many of its subparts will also be "water". Hence, the predicate "apple" is quantized, while "water" is not. Formally, a **quantization** predicate *QUA* can be defined as follows, where U is the universe of discourse, F is a variable over sets, and p is a mereological part structure on U with \<\_p the mereological part\-of relation: (\\forall F\\subseteq U\_p)(QUA(F) \\iff (\\forall x,y)(F(x)\\wedge F(y) \\Rightarrow \\neg x\<\_p y)) Quantization was first proposed by Manfred Krifka as part of his mereological approach to the semantics of nominals. It has since been applied to other phenomena such as telicity.

It is believed to have ended with a global cooling event known as the Comptum Cooling Event, although whether it represented a worldwide event is controversial.
Shattered Steel
***Shattered Steel*** is a mech simulation game developed by BioWare and published by Interplay Productions for MS\-DOS in 1996\. It was later ported to Mac OS by now\-defunct Logicware. It is notable for the deformable terrain effects, and for being BioWare's first developed game.BioWare Bioware's Legacy page , accessed November 11, 2007\.
Diagonal pliers
**Diagonal pliers** (also known as **wire cutters** or **diagonal cutting pliers**, or under many regional names) are pliers intended for the cutting of wire or small stock, rather than grabbing or turning. The plane defined by the cutting edges of the jaws intersects the joint rivet at an angle or "on a diagonal", giving pliers their name. They are also adapted for use in inaccessible places.
Names of Moldavia and Moldova

The event is run mostly by volunteers, numbering around 700 in total. The lectures are hosted in historical places and squares, and during the five days of the fair there are about two hundred events. The low\-profile style has in time attracted many big names of literature, along with Nobel Prize winners. The attendance to the events roughly matches the population of the city, so it is necessary to book tickets well in advance. In 2007, the fair celebrated its tenth edition. The 2005 fair was the set for the 2005 Tinto Brass movie *Monamour*, in which it was depicted the peculiarity of the exhibit. The 2011 edition had seen for the first time the public exposition of the Lovers of Valdaro.

Television studies
**Television studies** is an academic discipline that deals with critical approaches to television. Usually, it is distinguished from mass communication research, which tends to approach the topic from a social sciences perspective. Defining the field is problematic; some institutions and syllabuses do not distinguish it from media studies or classify it as a subfield of popular culture studies. One form of television studies is roughly equivalent to the longer\-standing discipline of film studies in that it is often concerned with textual analysis yet other approaches center more on the social functions of television.Brunsdon, Charlotte (2004\). Television Studies. In Horace Newcomb (Ed.), The Encyclopedia of Television\[second edition]. Chicago: Fitzroy Dearborn, 2299–304\. For example, analyses of quality television, such as *Cathy Come Home* and *Twin Peaks*, have attracted the interests of researchers for their cinematic qualities. However, television studies can also incorporate the study of television viewing and how audiences make meaning from texts, which is commonly known as audience theory or reception theory.

Justin Quinn
**Justin Quinn** (born 1968 in Dublin) is an Irish poet and critic. He received a doctorate from Trinity College, Dublin, where his contemporaries included poets David Wheatley, Caitriona O'Reilly and Sinéad Morrissey, and now lives with his wife and sons in Prague. He is a lecturer at Charles University and the University of West Bohemia. He has published seven poetry collections: *The 'O'o'a'a' Bird* (1995\), *Privacy* (1999\), *Fuselage* (2002\), *Waves \& Trees* (2006\), *The Months* (2009\), *Close Quarters* (2011\) and *Early House* (2015\). *The 'O'o'a'a' Bird* was nominated for the Forward Poetry Prize for Best First Collection. With David Wheatley, he was a founding editor of the influential journal *Metre*, which stressed internationalism and contributed to a burgeoning interest in formalism in Irish poetry. He has published three critical studies, *Gathered Beneath the Storm: Wallace Stevens, Nature and Community*, *American Errancy: Empire, Sublimity and Modern Poetry* and *Between Two Fires: Transnationalism and Cold War Poetry*. He has also translated extensively from Czech, in particular the work of Petr Borkovec and Bohuslav Reynek, and has written non\-fiction prose on life in the Czech Republic for the *Dublin Review*. Quinn's work shows the influence of American writers such as, principally, Wallace Stevens, but also Anthony Hecht and James Merrill, as well as Irish writers such as W. B. Yeats and Paul Muldoon. It is characterised by a sensual lushness informed by an awareness of the violence of history, as inflected by the author's experiences of living in the Czech Republic. In its mix of formalist sophistication and openness to experiment, Quinn's work confounds perceptions of Irish poetry as rigidly dichotomised between formal conservatism and 1930s\-derived innovation, a distinctiveness confirmed by the editorial decision to award him the single largest share of the 2004 Bloodaxe anthology *The New Irish Poets*. He has recently translated the work of Czech poet Ivan Blatný.
Premium-Cola
**Premium\-Cola** is a soft drink brand founded on November 23, 2001, in Hamburg, Germany, by a collective of fans of the German brand Afri\-Cola, at the time reduced in caffeine. The collective (which named itself "Interessengruppe Premium") started by running a protest campaign for more than two years against recipe changes in Afri\-Cola. The brand, founded in 1931, was bought by Mineralbrunnen Überkingen\-Teinach AG in 1999, who would then change the recipe. The new Afri\-cola contained a reduced amount of caffeine (the original Afri\-cola contained 250 mg/L) and its original taste was subdued, in order to appeal to a wider variety of customers. The protests of the "Interessengruppe Premium" began to produce the original recipe cola on their own and named it Premium\-Cola. To avoid legal issues with the Mineralbrunnen AG, one ingredient was changed, malic acid, which was replaced with phosphoric acid.
Planetary scanner
A **planetary scanner** (also called an **orbital scanner**) is a type of image scanner for making scans of rare books and other easily damaged documents. In essence, such a scanner is a mounted camera taking photos of a well\-lit environment. Originally, such scanners were expensive and could only be found in archives and museums, but with the availability of cheap, high\-resolution digital cameras, DIY planetary scanners have become affordable, and for instance are being used by volunteer scan providers for Project Gutenberg. Flatbed scanners often come in contact with at least part of the object to be scanned. They also require books to be fully opened most of the time (there are some exceptions where the scanning surface ends at the edge of the flatbed scanner, so that a book can be opened partially). Both practices can damage rare books; For example, opening a book 180 degrees can be damaging to its spine. These scanners are also implemented to scan other fragile documents such as old maps. However, planetary scanners that allow the book to open to a full 180 degrees have special features that protect the book binding from being damaged. Many of those scanners are equipped with self\-balancing book cradles, gaps for the binding to be placed in, and pressure\-sensitive glass controls. It is argued that by opening the book to a full 180 degrees and using scan glass, the scanner is able to capture further into the binding than those using a V cradle. National Mine Map Repository "State\-of\-the\-Art Equipment at the National Mine Map Repository" Planetary scanners tend to touch fewer parts of a book, and provide an option of only opening a book partially.

Palace Gates railway station
**Palace Gates railway station** was on the Palace Gates Line in Wood Green, north London, on the corner of Bridge Road and Dorset Road. It was opened on 7 October 1878 by the Great Eastern Railway (GER) as terminus of the line that bore its name. The line had terminated at the previous station, Noel Park and Wood Green, since opening on 1 January 1878\. The station was opened to provide a means by which the GER could transport passengers to the nearby Alexandra Palace. It was thus in competition with the nearby Wood Green (Alexandra Park) station \- now Alexandra Palace station \- on the Great Northern Railway. A connection to Bowes Park on the GNR Hertford Loop Line, which runs just north of the site of the station, was made in 1929 but it was used only for occasional freight trains. Competing as it did with other nearby railway lines and the Underground's Piccadilly line, by the 1960s the Palace Gates line was unprofitable and the line closed to passengers on 7 January 1963 and to freight on 5 October 1964\. Following closure the station was demolished and housing built on most of the site. A short section of the station site at its north end is occupied by Network Rail sidings alongside which are traces of the platform ends. The remains of part of the embankment forming the southern approach to the station can still be seen, including the abutments for the bridge taking the line over Park Avenue.

"Vo sadu li, v ogorode"
**"Vo sadu li, v ogorode"** (; English translation: *In the grove or in the garden*) is a Russian folk song. It is likely one of a number of songs formerly used to encourage crops in Spring.

Textile printing
of Bangladesh. , Rajasthan, India. , Madhya Pradesh, India. . *Evenlode* by William Morris, 1883\. **Textile printing** is the process of applying color to fabric in definite patterns or designs. In properly printed fabrics the colour is bonded with the fibre, so as to resist washing and friction. Textile printing is related to dyeing but in dyeing properly the whole fabric is uniformly covered with one colour, whereas in printing one or more colours are applied to it in certain parts only, and in sharply defined patterns. In printing, wooden blocks, stencils, engraved plates, rollers, or silkscreens can be used to place colours on the fabric. Colourants used in printing contain dyes thickened to prevent the colour from spreading by capillary attraction beyond the limits of a pattern or design.

Panlongcheng
**Panlongcheng** () or **Panlong City** is an archaeological site associated with the Erligang culture () during the Shang dynasty period (). The site is located just north of the Yangtze river, on the bank of the Panlong lake, and is surrounded by the Fushui river in Huangpi, Wuhan, Hubei, China. Panlongcheng is the largest excavated Erligang site ( at its greatest), showing the southernmost reach of the Erligang culture at its peak. It was discovered in 1954, and excavated in 1974 and 1976\. The site at Panlongcheng was sparsely inhabited during the Erlitou period (), consisting mainly of several small settlements and occupying an area of around . During the early Erligang period, the site suddenly grew rapidly, reaching an area of around . The central town was surrounded by a *hangtu*, or rammed earth, wall. Inside the walls two palaces occupying were discovered. Panlongcheng may have been an Erligang outpost used to control regional resources, such as copper mines. The construction and bronze casting techniques at Panlongcheng are identical with the techniques employed at Erligang and Zhengzhou; however, the pottery style is different. The style of Erligang elite burials is almost an exact replica of the burials at Zhengzhou; however, later layers show that the Erligang style disappeared during the later stages of the Erligang culture. The site declined until it was abandoned altogether at the end of the Erligang culture. Panlongcheng's decline may have been affected in part by the growth of the site at Wucheng. In Hubei Province, other sites such as Jingnansi and Baimiaozhu also feature Erlitou or Late Erlitou–Early Erligang type of ceramics.Roderick Campbell (2014\), *Archaeology of the Chinese Bronze Age: From Erlitou to Anyang.* Cotsen Institute of Archaeology Panlongcheng was succeeded by regional and localized cultures such as the Feijiahe culture.

Tsarska Bistritsa
**Tsarska Bistritsa** ("Tsar's Bistritsa"; ) is a former royal palace in southwestern Bulgaria, high in the Rila Mountains, just above the resort of Borovets and near the banks of the Bistritsa River. Built between 1898 and 1914, it served as the hunting lodge of Tsar Ferdinand of Bulgaria and his son Boris III. The hunting lodge was nationalized after 1945, when Bulgaria became a Communist state. The democratic changes of 1989 led to the controversial return of the palace to Simeon II, the last monarch of Bulgaria and afterwards a politician, in October 2002\. The architecture of Tsarska Bistritsa combines, in the spirit of Romanticism, elements of the authentic Bulgarian National Revival style with other European architectural styles and alpine architecture. A cabin from the transatlantic ship *New America* is part of the interior. It was either a gift from the captain or won by Ferdinand during a poker game. The wooden ceilings and columns in the lodge are richly decorated in a Bulgarian style. Tsarska Bistritsa also has the royal family's collection of hunting trophies filled up for more than half a century. The palace is powered by a Siemens AG 170 kW (hydroelectric) generator built and installed in 1912\. Other structures include a stable, a chapel, a garage, a sentry box and fountains. Sitniakovo and Saragiol are also located in the Rila Mountains.
