-"Diocesan School for Girls, Grahamstown\n\nThe Diocesan School for Girls or DSG is a private boarding school for girls, situated in Grahamstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa. It is one of the most expensive private girls' schools in South Africa.\n\nHistory \n\nDSG is an Anglican school that was founded in 1874 by the Rt Revd Nathaniel Merriman, Bishop of Grahamstown for the Diocese of Grahamstown. The school is located in Worcester St, at the bottom of the West Hill of Grahamstown and is adjacent to St. Andrew's College and Rhodes University. Formerly, the girls were allowed little or no contact at all with their brother school, St. Andrew's College. This was changed in the early eighties as the pupils of both schools found themselves being integrated on an educational level. Ntombe Vabaza, appointed head girl in 2007, was the school's first black head girl.\n\nAssociated schools \n\nDSG shares close ties with other schools in Grahamstown: St. Andrew's College, a high school for boys and St. Andrew's Preparatory School, a co-educational primary school. Most girls enter the school in grade 4, coming from St. Andrew's Preparatory School. There are about 120 girls from grade 4 to grade 7 (the primary school phase)"
-"1976 United States presidential election in Tennessee\n\nThe 1976 United States presidential election in Tennessee was held on November 2, 1976. The Democratic Party candidate, former Georgia governor Jimmy Carter won the state of Tennessee with 56% of the vote against Republican Party candidate, President Gerald Ford, carrying the state\u2019s 10 electoral votes.\n\nCarter, a native Southerner from neighboring Georgia, carried Tennessee with a 13 point margin of victory against incumbent Ford. The Watergate scandal had severely damaged Ford's predecessor, Richard Nixon, who had resigned in 1974 as a result, and the Republican Party as a whole. The relatively unknown Carter campaigned as a Washington outsider free of the corruption of Watergate, and thus appealed to many voters in the country, including Tennessee.\n\nAs was normal during this era, Carter carried Western Tennessee and Middle Tennessee, the most Democratic regions in the state, by landslide margins, which included the major cities of Memphis and Nashville, the state capital. Carter even made inroads in traditionally Republican East Tennessee, though Ford kept the region in his column with his wins in the major cities of Chattanooga and Knoxville. Carter even outperformed by 0.44% Lyndon B. Johnson\u2019s 1964 result during that President\u2019s national"

It was founded in 1969 or earlier during Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution, and was the largest armed separatist group in the Xinjiang conflict before its dissolution in 1989.\n\nThe ETPRP's goal was to initiate a second Revolution of the Three Districts to establish an independent Marxist-Leninist Uyghur state in the Xinjiang region, with help from the Soviet Union. Support from the Soviets increased during the Sino-Soviet split and subsequent border dispute.\n\nHistory\nThe ETPRP was founded in 1969 or earlier in Xinjiang, China. It was made up of mainly Uyghurs, but also had a small number of Kazakh fighters. According to Chinese historian Zhang Yuxi, the ETPRP may have been established secretly in 1963. Former members of the ETPRP claimed that the party had around 60,000 members and 178 underground branches in 1969; however, this had not been verified by a third-party.\n\nAfter a failed insurrection in 1969, the ETPRP gradually weakened due to the arrests of most of their armed fighters and many of their members going into exile.

Clipston Sturgis was the second son of Major Russell Sturgis and his 1st wife, Susan Codman (Welles) Sturgis, and the nephew of architect John Hubbard Sturgis and successor to his practice. J.H. Sturgis had designed brother Russell's summer house, \"Sunny Waters,\" in 1862, and after the death of J.H. in 1888, R. Clipston designed a summer house, \"Rookwood,\" for his uncle's widow, Frances Codman Sturgis. Both houses are in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts.\n\nSturgis was asked to design Perkins School for the Blind's campus when third director of the school Edward Allen found its current home in Watertown, Massachusetts. Sturgis chose the popular style of the time called English Collegiate Gothic when designing the campus. Allen required Sturgis to incorporate a \"family-style\" cottage system implemented by Samuel Gridley Howe. This cottage system was meant to replicate the idea of a family setting and help teach student independent living skills (Activities of Daily Life). This cottage style included students of all ages living together in a family like unit with \"four teachers, a cook, and"
-"Incontinence pad\n\nAn incontinence pad is a small, impermeable multi-layered sheet with high absorbency that is used in the incontinence and health-care industries as a precaution against urinary incontinence. It is generally made of cotton if washable or paper if disposable. The term may be used to refer to what are also known as \"incontinence diapers\" or \"incontinence nappies\". Incontinence pads are usually placed in an undergarment or on a bed or chair under a person. Incontinence pads are manufactured in light and heavy grades which offer a range of absorbencies, often referred to as a 'working capacity', which refers to the true absorbency an incontinence pad offers when in use. These sorts of pads can come as panty-liners, inserts, pads or even available as replacement underwear.\n\nIn the UK, chair or bed based protective pads, known as chair pads or bed pads, are commonly used in healthcare settings where incontinence may be an issue. They are usually constructed in layers of quilted absorbent fabric and alternating liquid impermeable plastic or polyurethane. Products containing polyurethane are generally considered better as they provide a waterproof backing, whilst still allowing air to circulate reducing the risk of rashes and sores.\n\nSee also"
-"Bassus of Lucera\n\nSaint Bassus of Lucera (; c 40/50\u2013118) was a Christian martyr and saint, and traditionally the first bishop of Lucera in Apulia, Italy. He is the patron saint of Termoli.\n\nLegend \nOne of the earliest Christian communities is believed to have been established in Lucera. The legend of the saint relates that in about the year 60 Saint Peter passed through and put Bassus at the head of the nascent bishopric. Bassus was martyred under Trajan in 118.\n\nHis feast day is 5 December.\n\nDisagreements on identity \nThere is some controversy regarding the identity of Bassus, in that there is potential confusion between Saint Bassus of Lucera and Saint Bassus of Nice (or Nicaea), who was also a bishop and martyr and whose feast day also falls on 5 December, although his martyrdom took place at Nice in about 250. There may also be confusion with a certain Saint Dasius of Dorostoro, also known as Bassus.\n\nNotes\n\nSources\nSanti, Beati e Testimoni: San Basso di Nizza \nSan Basso di Termoli historical website \nFolkore of Termoli \nCupra Marittima: San Basso \n\nCategory:Saints from Roman Italy\nCategory:118 deaths\nCategory:Year of birth unknown"

-"Phthalylsulfathiazole\n\nPhthalylsulfathiazole belongs to the group of drugs called sulfonamides. The drug is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that can treat different types of infections including intestinal. The mechanism of action depends on competitive antagonism with para-aminobenzoic acid and inhibition of dihydropteroate synthetase activity, which in turn leads to impaired synthesis of dihydrofolic acid and as a result its active metabolite necessary for the synthesis of purine and pyrimidine. \n\nThe drug is indicated in the treatment of dysentery, colitis, gastroenteritis and intestinal surgery. It is not absorbed into the blood stream from the gut. Adverse effects may include allergic reactions, vitamin B insufficiency, agranulocytosis and aplastic anemia.\n\nCategory:Thiazoles\nCategory:Sulfonamide antibiotics"
-"ArhGAP11B and human encephalisation\n\nARHGAP11B is a human-specific gene which appeared after the divergence from chimpanzees. It amplifies basal progenitors, controls neural progenitor proliferation and can cause neocortex folding. It is capable of causing neocortex folding in mice. This likely reflects a role for ARHGAP11B in development and evolutionary expansion of the human neocortex, a conclusion consistent with the finding that the gene duplication that created ARHGAP11B occurred on the human lineage after the divergence from the chimpanzee lineage but before the divergence from Neanderthals.\n\nStructure\nARHGAP11B encodes 267 amino-acids and is a truncated version of ARHGAP11A. ARHGAP11B arose on the human evolutionary lineage after the divergence from the chimpanzee lineage by partial duplication of ARHGAP11A, which is found throughout the animal kingdom and encodes a Rho GTPase-activating-protein (RhoGAP domain). ARHGAP11B exists not only in present-day humans but also in Neandertals and Denisovans. ARHGAP11B comprises most of the GAP-domain (until lysine-220) followed by a novel C-terminal sequence but lacking the C-terminal 756 amino acids of ARHGAP11A.\n\nActivity\nIn contrast to full-length ARHGAP11A and ARHGAP11A 1-250, ARHGAP11B, like ARHGAP11A1-220, did not exhibit RhoGAP activity in a RhoA/Rho-kinase\u2013based cell transfection assay. This indicates that the C-terminal 47 amino-acids of ARHGAP11B (after lysine-220)"

-"Jussive mood\n\nThe jussive (abbreviated ) is a grammatical mood of verbs for issuing orders, commanding, or exhorting (within a subjunctive framework). English verbs are not marked for this mood. The mood is similar to the cohortative mood, which typically applies to the first person by appeal to the object's duties and obligations, and the imperative, which applies to the second (by command). The jussive however typically covers the first and third persons. It can also apply to orders by their author's wish in the mandative subjunctive.\n\nExamples\n\nGerman\nIn the German language, the jussive mood is expressed using the present subjunctive (named \"Konjunktiv I\" or \"M\u00f6glichkeitsform I\" in German). It is typical of formal documents or religious texts, such as the Bible.

-"Gene desert\n\nGene deserts are regions of the genome that are devoid of protein-coding genes. Gene deserts constitute an estimated 25% of the entire genome, leading to the recent interest in their true functions. Originally believed to contain inessential and \u201cjunk\u201d DNA due to their inability to create proteins, gene deserts have since been linked to several vital regulatory functions, including distal enhancing and conservatory inheritance. Thus, an increasing number of risks that lead to several major diseases, including a handful of cancers, have been attributed to irregularities found in gene deserts. One of the most notable examples is the 8q24 gene region, which, when affected by certain single nucleotide polymorphisms, lead to a myriad of diseases. The major identifying factors of gene deserts lay in their low GpC content and their relatively high levels of repeats, which are not observed in coding regions. Recent studies have even further categorized gene deserts into variable and stable forms; regions are categorized based on their behavior through recombination and their genetic contents. Although current knowledge of gene deserts is rather limited, ongoing research and improved techniques are beginning to open the doors for exploration on the various important effects of these noncoding"

-"BRST algorithm\n\nBoender-Rinnooy-Stougie-Timmer algorithm (BRST) is an optimization algorithm suitable for finding global optimum of black box functions. In their paper Boender et al. describe their method as a stochastic method involving a combination of sampling, clustering and local search, terminating with a range of confidence intervals on the value of the global minimum.\n\nThe algorithm of Boender et al. has been modified by Timmer. Timmer considered several clustering methods. Based on experiments a method named \"multi level single linkage\" was deemed most accurate.\n\nCsendes' algorithms are implementations of the algorithm of [Boender et al.] and originated the public domain software product GLOBAL.

It is the first live album of the band, and the only one covering the period when it was active.

Up until that point, a few live tracks had only surfaced on B-sides and compilations such as Urgh! A Music War (1980). The plan was to have a new album of the band to act as a stopgap between Ghost in the Machine (1981) and Synchronicity (1983). The record was mixed and mastered in Canada but never released.[Andy Summers, One Train Later, Piatkus, London, 2007] Similar plans took place in 1984 at the tail of the band's Synchronicity tour, but the project was shelved again, this time in favour of a greatest hits album (Every Breath You Take: The Singles).

-"Housing Act 1949\n\nThe Housing Act 1949 was a British Act of Parliament which enabled local authorities to acquire homes for improvement or conversion with 75% Exchequer grants. It also bestowed upon local authorities a wide range of useful powers, such as to provide restaurants or canteens and laundry facilities for tenants of municipal flats and housing estates, and to sell furniture to them. The legislation also removed the restriction imposed upon local authorities by previous pieces of housing legislation which limited them to providing housing for working-class people only. The aim of this change was to allow local authorities to develop mixed estates of houses of more varied types and sizes, thereby attracting all income groups. In addition, housing improvement grants for private landlords and owner occupiers were introduced under the Act. According to Norman Ginsburg, this piece of legislation was the first example of a \u201cwelfarist\u201d policy in respect of owner occupiers, as local authorities were to direct these grants towards bringing properties up to a sixteen-point standard.\n\nSee also\nWelfare state\nNational Insurance Act 1911\n\nNotes\n\nCategory:United Kingdom Acts of Parliament 1949\nCategory:Public housing in the United Kingdom\nCategory:Housing in the United Kingdom"

-"Ukrainian oligarchs\n\nThe Ukrainian oligarchs are a group of business oligarchs that emerged on the economic and political scene of Ukraine following the 1991 Ukrainian independence referendum. This period saw Ukraine transitioning to a market economy with the rapid privatization of state-owned assets. These developments mirrored those of neighboring Post-Soviet states following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The influence of Ukrainian oligarchs on domestic and regional politics, and in particular their links to Russia, have been the source of criticism from pro-western sources critical of Ukraines lack of political reform, or action against corruption.\n\nIn 2008, the combined wealth of Ukraine's 50 richest oligarchs was equal to 85% of Ukraine's GDP. In November 2013 this number was 45% (of GDP). By 2015, due to the Ukrainian crisis, the total net worth of the five richest and most influential Ukrainians (Rinat Akhmetov, Viktor Pinchuk, Ihor Kolomoyskyi, Henadiy Boholyubov and Yuriy Kosiuk) had dropped from $21.6 billion in 2014 to $11.85 billion in June 2015. (In 2014 Ukrainian GDP fell by 7%; in 2015 it shrank 12%.)\n\nUsage\nOligarchs are usually defined as businessmen having direct influence on both politics and economy.

Church (retired) as a training institution for survey and map production. NSLSI became a world leader in geomatics education during the 1970s and 1980s as it evolved into incorporating then-revolutionary technologies such as remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS). The institute moved into its current campus during this period in the 1970s.\n\nIn 1986, NSLSI was renamed the College of Geographic Sciences (COGS) as a publicly funded training college under an act of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. The name was considered to better reflect the diversity of geographic sciences taught at the NSLSI.\n\nIn 1988, the provincial government undertook a much-needed reform to its training colleges and created the Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) system the following year. While still a separate college, COGS was administratively placed within the NSCC umbrella.\n\nIn 1998 NSCC created the Annapolis Valley Campus by administratively combining the geographically separate campuses at Lawrencetown and Middleton.

-"Tommaso Diplovataccio\n\nTommaso Diplovataccio or Diplovatazio (; 1468\u20131541) was a Greco-Italian jurist, publisher and politician.\n\nHis family was Greek nobility that emigrated from Corfu to Naples after the fall of Constantinople. After studies in Naples (where he married Maria Laskaris), in Padua and Ferrara, he held the office of fiscal in Pesaro from 1492 to 1507. The wealth he obtained by a 1494 marriage to a trader's daughter allowed him to reduce his work as a jurisconsult and concentrate on scholarly pursuits. From 1504 to 1508 he compiled the Chronicon Pisauri, a compilation of notes about legal sources that are now lost. In 1511 he finished the Tractatus de praestantia doctorum, a biographical treatise on the most influential jurists of Antiquity and the Middle Ages.\n\nIn 1517, Diplovataccio moved to Venice, where, as a publisher of note, he edited De regulis iuris of Dinus, the Commentaria of de Tartagnis and the works of Bartolus, among others. On behalf of the city, he compiled two histories of Venice.

The story\u2014based on a true event\u2014concerns a shipwreck off a fictional Scottish island, the inhabitants of which have run out of whisky because of wartime rationing. The islanders find out the ship is carrying 50,000 cases of whisky, which they salvage, against the opposition of the local Customs and Excise men. \n\nIt was filmed on the island of Barra; the weather was so poor that the production over-ran its 10-week schedule by five weeks, and the film went \u00a320,000 over budget. Michael Balcon, the head of the studio, was unimpressed by the initial cut of the film, and one of Ealing's directors, Charles Crichton, added footage and re-edited the film before its release.

-"Nyborg T.G.N.1\n\nThe Nyborg T.G.N.1 was a single-seat experimental sailplane built in the early 1930s, its unusual wing design a scaled-up version of the wings of large birds.\n\nDesign and development\n\nThe design of the Nyborg glider was strongly informed by the Danish engineer T G Nyborg's long and quantitative study of bird flight. These considerations led to a glider with wings of high aspect ratio and high wing loading. The T.G.N.1 had an aspect ratio of 21.8 and wing loading of 8.0\u00a0lb/ft2 (39\u00a0kg/m2), compared with 9.9 and 2.8\u00a0lb/ft2 (13.7\u00a0kg/m2) for the roughly contemporary Slingsby Falcon (Schleicher Falke).\n\nThe short-span, narrow mean chord (16\u00a0in or 406\u00a0mm) cantilever wing was built of wood like the rest of the T.G.N.1. It had three parts, two plywood-skinned lifting sections each 15\u00a0ft (4.57\u00a0m) long joined by a 3\u00a0ft (910\u00a0mm) centre section. The single wing spar was a 4\u00d73\u00a0in (102\u00d776\u00a0mm) spruce beam. The wing was straight edged and tapered by sweep on the leading edge only. The trailing edges carried full-span ailerons with the inboard half-spans divided into three sections. These inner surfaces moved through progressively smaller angles than the outer ones and"
-"Trams in Trieste\n\nTrieste's urban tramway system was operational from 1876 until 1970.\n\nHistory\n\nThe horse-drawn network \nAfter the creation of the first horse-bus routes in 1860, mostly by the firm \"Cimadori\", the first horse-drawn tram followed in 1876, organized by \u201cSociet\u00e0 Triestina Tranway (STT)\u201d, a Belgian-owned society, also known as \u201cTriester Tramway Gesellschaft\u201d or \u201cSociet\u00e9 de Tramways de Trieste\u201d. The first route, the \u201cvia Torrente-corsia Stadion-Boschetto\u201d route, was inaugurated on March 30, 1876. In the later 1800s, the horse-drawn tram network was significantly increased. In 1900, its maximum expansion, the following routes were in service:\n\n Central RR Station (S\u00fcdbahnhof)-Boschetto\n Central RR Station (S\u00fcdbahnhof)-Sant'Andrea \n route to Barcola\n route to Barriera Vecchia\n route to Giuseppina Square\n route to Punto Franco\n route to Bagno Fontana\n\nElectrical operations begin \nThe STT, in competition with other proposers, won a public tender to realize a network of electric trams in Trieste based on \u201cSprague system\u201d, collecting electricity from overhead wires.

-"Kollikodon\n\nKollikodon ritchiei is an australosphenidan species, often classified as a monotreme but more recently recovered as an outgroup. It is known only from an opalised dentary fragment, with one premolar and two molars in situ. The fossil was found in the Griman Creek Formation at Lightning Ridge, New South Wales, Australia, as was Steropodon.\n\nKollikodon lived in the lower Cretaceous period, during the middle Albian age (113-101 million years ago).\n\nLike Steropodon, Kollikodon was a relatively large mammal for the Mesozoic. The molars have a length of around 5.5\u00a0mm and a width of between about 4 and 6\u00a0mm (Clemens et al., 2003). Based upon these data, the potential body length could be up to a metre. Assuming the accuracy of such a guess, Kollikodon would be a contender for the largest Mesozoic mammal known, along with other possible giants such as Repenomamus, Schowalteria, and Bubodens.\n\nAside from its size, it is difficult to say what Kollikodon looked like. It is certain that its teeth were specialised to crush food, being perhaps a shellfish-eater or herbivore.\n\nBoth Kollikodon and Steropodon can be found at the Australian Museum in Sydney, along with Eric, the opalised pliosaur.\n\nEtymology\nKollix is"
-"Babylon's Ark\n\nBabylon's Ark, The Incredible Wartime Rescue of the Baghdad Zoo (2007) is a book by South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony, with writer Graham Spence. The book tells of the struggle to save the Baghdad Zoo during the US-led Coalition invasion of Iraq.\n\nSummary\n\nThe book focuses on how in early 2003, during the invasion of Iraq, South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony, realized that there would be no one looking after the biggest zoo in the Middle East, and left his Thula Thula game reserve home in Zululand, South Africa, for war-blockaded Kuwait. \n\nAnthony wrangled his way into becoming the first civilian, apart from media, to gain access to Iraq and then, drove a hired car from Kuwait, unarmed and unescorted, into the heart of Baghdad.\n\nOn arrival, Anthony found that a battle had been fought in the surrounding park, and that the zoo had been damaged and badly looted. Hundreds of animals had died, escaped, or been stolen for food. Zoo veterinarian Dr Husham Hussan and two zoo staff met him, beginning the rescue. \n\nAnthony tells of his many adventures, for examples, how he found himself sleeping with fighting troops, including tank crews of the US 3rd Infantry"

-"Beta bulge\n\nA beta bulge can be described as a localized disruption of the regular hydrogen bonding of beta sheet by inserting extra residues into one or both hydrogen bonded \u03b2-strands.\n\nTypes\n\u03b2-bulges can be grouped according to their length of the disruption, the number of residues inserted into each strand, whether the disrupted \u03b2-strands are parallel or antiparallel and by their dihedral angles (which controls the placement of their side chains). Two types occur commonly. One, the classic beta bulge, occurs within, or at the edge of, antiparallel beta-sheet; the first residue at the outwards bulge typically has the \u03b1R, rather than the normal \u03b2, conformation.\n\nThe other type is the beta bulge loop (also named type G1 \u03b2-bulge), often occurs in association with an antiparallel sheet, but also in other situations. One residue has the \u03b1L conformation and is part of a beta turn or alpha turn, such that the motif sometimes forms the loop of a beta hairpin.\n\nEffects on structure\nAt the level of the backbone structure, classic \u03b2-bulges can cause a simple aneurysm of the \u03b2-sheet, e.g., the bulge in the long \u03b2-hairpin of ribonuclease A (residues 88-91). A \u03b2-bulge can also cause a \u03b2-sheet"

-"Fixed-field alternating gradient accelerator\n\nA Fixed-Field alternating gradient Accelerator (FFA) is a circular particle accelerator concept on which development was started in the early 50s, and that can be characterized by its time-independent magnetic fields (fixed-field, like in a cyclotron) and the use of strong focusing (alternating gradient, like in a synchrotron). Thus, FFA accelerators combine the cyclotron's advantage of continuous, unpulsed operation, with the synchrotron's relatively inexpensive small magnet ring, of narrow bore.\n\nAlthough the development of FFAs had not been pursued for over a decade starting from 1967, interest has been revived since the mid-1980s for usage in neutron spallation sources, as a driver for muon colliders and to accelerate muons in a neutrino factory since the mid-1990s.\n\nThe revival in FFA research has been particularly strong in Japan with the construction of several rings. This resurgence has been prompted in part by advances in RF cavities and in magnet design.\n\nWe note that the acronym for Fixed-Field alternating gradient Accelerator has recently changed from FFAG to FFA. Thus, when searching older literature, one will find more often the original acronym of FFAG.\n\nHistory\n\nFirst development phase\n\nThe idea of fixed-field alternating-gradient synchrotrons was developed independently in Japan"

-"Pappotherium\n\nPappotherium is an extinct genus of mammals from the Albian (early Cretaceous) of Texas, US, known from a fossilized maxilla fragment bearing two tribosphenic molars, discovered within the Glen Rose Formation near Decatur, Wise County, Texas.\n\nThe fossil was discovered by Bob H. Slaughter within some deposits dating back to 112.6 \u2013 109 million years ago. On the basis of the morphology of the molars' cusps, in 1965 Slaughter established the new genus Pappotherium and the new species P. pattersoni; he also created an apposite family, Pappotheriidae. Both this family and the genus are nowadays still monotypic.\n\nSlaughter argued that Pappotherium should have been a basal form close to the metatherian-eutherian divergence point; this mammal likely was an arboreal insectivore.\n\nEtymologically speaking, the name Pappotherium is a compound of the Latin words pappus (from ancient Greek \u03c0\u03ac\u03c0\u03c0\u03bf\u03c2, p\u00e1ppos, \u201cgrandfather\u201d) and therium (from ancient Greek \u03b8\u03b7\u03c1\u03af\u03bf\u03bd, th\u0113r\u00edon, \u201cbeast\u201d, a common suffix among extinct mammals), with the full meaning of \u201cmammal-grandfather\u201d.\n\nThe second part of the unique species' name, pattersoni, was instead chosen in honor of the American paleontologist Bryan Patterson.\n\nMore recently, it has been recovered as a possible deltatheroidean.

-"Nsundi\n\nNsundi was a province of the old Kingdom of Kongo whose capital lay on the Inkisi River in modern-day Democratic Republic of Congo near the village of Mbanza Nsundi.\n\nHistory \nAccording to traditions retold by Duarte Lopes, Kongo's ambassador to Rome, and published by Filippo Pigafetta in 1591, Nsundi was formerly an independent small kingdom which was incorporated into Kongo's domains probably in the early to mid-fifteenth century. The province was expanded by its earlier holders east and west along the south bank of the Congo River, and in the late fifteenth century also on the other bank of the river. Portuguese military forces, sent to assist the kings of Kongo in 1491 were deployed to put down a rebellion from sections on both banks of the river.\n\nLater tradition suggested that it was often given to the king's chosen successor to rule, and in fact, the earliest known ruler of Nsundi, Afonso Mvemba a Nzinga, son of Nzinga a Nkuwu, who reigned in the late fifteenth century did become king in 1509. However, the subsequent history of the country does not support the idea that the heir apparent always held this post, and in fact kings came from"

-"Popcorn (music style)\n\nPopcorn (sometimes Belgian popcorn or oldies popcorn) is a style of music and dancing first established in Belgium in the 1970s and 1980s. The style includes a wide variety of mostly American and British recordings of R&B and pop music made between the late 1950s and mid 1960s, often relatively obscure, and characterised by a slow or medium, rather than fast, tempo. The style has been described by musician and writer Bob Stanley as \"possibly the last truly underground music scene in Europe\".\n\nOrigins\nThe Popcorn music scene first developed from dances held at the Groove discotheque in Ostend, where mid-tempo soul and ska music played by DJ Freddy Cousaert became popular in the late 1960s. Cousaert was later responsible for Marvin Gaye's move to Belgium in the early 1980s.\n\nIn September 1969, a caf\u00e9, De Oude Hoeve, opened in a converted farm barn at Vrasene near Antwerp, and began holding dance competitions on Sunday afternoons.

By 1858 there were none. Clearances had been well underway in the area during the first half of the 19th century; many of them brutal and uncaring. The residents of Stiomrabhaigh were better placed than most having leases directly with the land owner but when these expired they accepted an offer of crofts in Leumrabhagh.\n\nLewis was relatively prosperous right up until World War I, which put an end to the herring trade with Russia and Eastern Europe, and in spite of the clearances the increasing population put pressure on land. There were numerous requests to resettle Stiomrabhaigh all of which were resisted by the landowners and it was not until 1921 when Lord Leverhulme abandoned his ambitious plan for Lewis that crofters returned to the township. Even the resettlement was marked with tragedy as two young men were drowned while transporting household goods from Calbost.\n\nThese settlers were never officially recognized as crofters by the government; they received no help and no road"

-"Three Women (Boccioni)\n\nThree Women () is a painting by Italian artist Umberto Boccioni, executed between 1909 and 1910. This painting is oil on canvas painted in the style of divisionism. Divisionism refers to the actual division of colors by creating separated brush strokes as opposed to smooth, solid lines. The painting contains three figures, one being Boccioni\u2019s mother Cecilia on the left, another being his sister, Amelia on the right, and the third being Ines, his lover, in the center.\n\nTransition\nArt teacher and portraitist Giacomo Balla introduced Boccioni to the painting styles of divisionism. According to the Deutsche Bank and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, divisionism, which emerged in Northern Italy in the late 1880s, was the \u201cpainting method [that] was characterized by the juxtaposition of strokes of pigment to create the visual effect of intense single colors\u201d. These individual strokes vary over the surface of the canvas, resembling \u201cfilament-like\u201d threads. Divisionists also believed in increased luminosity in their paintings. As Boccioni was making the transition from divisionism to futurism, he struggled with changing his pre-futuristic subjects of art. This is because typical divisionism depicts rural labor, tranquility, beauty, and landscape. When Boccioni started to draw futuristic paintings,"

-"Traikutaka dynasty\n\nThe Traikutakas were a dynasty of Indian kings who ruled between 388 and 456. The name \"Traikutakas\" seems to be derived from the words for a three-peaked mountain (\"Tri-kuta\"). The Traikutakas are mentioned in Kalidasa's Raghuvamsa, in which they are located in the area of northern Konkan. The dominions of the Traikutakas further included Aparanta and northern Maharashtra.\n\nThe coins of the Traikutaras are found extensively in southern Gujarat, and southern Maharashtra beyond the Ghats. Their design is very close to that of the Western Satraps, from which they probably inherited some territories, and traces of the obverse legend with Greek letters can still be seen.\n\nTraikuta rule of Aparanta or Konkan begins in A.D. 248 (Traikuta era) exactly the time of Abhira Ishwarsena rule, hence Traikutas are identified with the dynasty of Abhiras.\n\nThe Traikutakas reckoned in a specific era, known as the Traikutaka era, or usually the Kalachuri or Chedi era, starting in 249.\n\nTrikuta-Abhiras\n\nIt is generally supposed that Traikutakas were a different dynasty of Abhira, and hence are sometimes called Abhira-Traikutakas .

Owner Kenny Dreer progressed from restoring and upgrading Norton Commandos to producing whole machines. He modernised the design and in the early 2000s went into production of the VR880. This machine was built on the basis of the original Commando, with upgraded components and a significantly modified engine. Dreer produced 50 of these machines before deciding to build an all-new motorcycle. With funding from Oliver Curme, Dreer hired a small design and development team led by Paul Gaudio (Design and Development Director), Simon-Pierre Smith (Lead Engineer), and Patrick Leyshock (Testing, Sourcing.) The 961 Commando never reached production in America due to lack of funding, and the company closed its doors in April 2006.

-"Day labor\n\nDay labor (or day labour in Commonwealth spelling) is work done where the worker is hired and paid one day at a time, with no promise that more work will be available in the future. It is a form of contingent work.\n\nTypes\n\nDay laborers find work through three common routes.\n\nFirstly, some employment agencies specialize in very short-term contracts for manual labor most often in construction, factories, offices, and manufacturing. These companies usually have offices where workers can arrive and be assigned to a job on the spot, as they are available.\n\nSecondly, a manager looking for additional labor to fill an unexpected change in plans is presented with a problem of finding the needed quantity of labor with the right skills. Imagine the magnitude of the task of looking for workers, on the side of the street or by calling various employment agencies, who can verify that they are journeyman asphalt rakers, typists, programmers, etc. The benefit of representation is applied to both the labor and employer. Labor is given a source of recourse to achieve a safe work environment free of favoritism and arbitrary work assignments. Employers benefit from organized labor training programs, benefit plans,"
-"Opopanax\n\nOpopanax or opoponax, refers to a kind of gum resin (natural substance that is a mixture of water-soluble gum and alcohol-soluble resin) obtained from a plant called \u03c0\u03ac\u03bd\u03b1\u03ba\u03b5\u03c2 (Panaces, Panakes, Panax or Panacea), traditionally considered to have medicinal properties. Pliny (Historia Naturalis) and Dioscorides (De Materia Medica) described various kinds of Panaces with uncertain identifications.

The resin of C. kataf (synonym: C. erythraea), known as hagar, is often sold as opopanax as well, though its scent is very different from that of hadi. The confusion between hadi and hagar is attributable to historical misidentification.\n\nEtymology \nThe name opopanax derives from Anglo-Norman opopanac, from Latin opopanax, from Hellenistic Greek \u1f40\u03c0\u03bf\u03c0\u03ac\u03bd\u03b1\u03be, from Ancient Greek \u1f40\u03c0\u03cc\u03c2 \"vegetable juice\" + \u03c0\u03ac\u03bd\u03b1\u03be \"panacea\" (all healing).

In 1943 he finished his medical studies at McGill University in Montreal. During a research fellowship at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, Henneman and colleague, Vernon Mountcastle, showed that tactile information about the extremities is represented in an orderly map in the ventrolateral thalamus of the cat and monkey. Further research positions followed, including at the Royal Victorian Hospital and at the Illinois Neuropsychiatric Institute (NPI) in Chicago. At NPI, Henneman discovered that the drug Mephenesin (Myensin) inhibits interneurons in the spinal cord and thus causes muscle relaxation. This discovery helped lead to the development of muscle relaxant drugs.\n\nOf greater impact for the scientific community was Henneman's work describing the physiology of motor neurons, the neurons that control contraction of the muscles.

-"Thymovar\n\nTHYMOVAR is a product to control the Varroa mite (Varroa destructor) on bees (Apis mellifera) and contains the essential oil thymol.\n\nTHYMOVAR contains thymol, a volatile substance which sublimates in the air depending on temperature. On release, thymol\nvapour concentrations build up in the treated beehive. These vapours are highly toxic to varroa mites but concentrations are not\nhigh enough to harm the honey bees. For optimal control, appropriate concentrations of thymol vapour must be maintained for six\nto eight weeks.\n\nUses\n\nTemperature\nBest efficacy is achieved when maximum daytime temperatures are between 20\u00a0\u00b0C and 25\u00a0\u00b0C throughout treatment. Reduced product efficacy occurs if average temperatures fall below 15\u00a0\u00b0C during the treatment.\nDo not apply if outside temperatures exceed 30\u00a0\u00b0C. Treatment at temperatures in excess of 30\u00a0\u00b0C leads to increased stress and mortality of adult bees and brood.\n\nTime of treatment\nThe best time for THYMOVAR treatment is as soon as possible after the last honey harvest in late summer at recommended temperatures. Treat all hives in an apiary at the same time to avoid robbing behaviour.\n\nApplication\nPrior to THYMOVAR treatment, remove all honey supers, close or replace open or screened hive floors with"
-"Argiletum\n\nThe Argiletum () was the main route approaching the Forum Romanum from the northeast in the ancient city of Rome. It connected the Forum with the Subura district of the city. Paths that were found in the Alta Semita and the domus on the Oppian and Caelian hills converged onto the Argiletum, making it a principal node of public space particularly during the Flavian rule.\n\nDevelopment \nVarro claimed that the etymology of the term argiletum was connected with the name of a Greek scoundrel. As it originally passed between Comitium and Basilica Pauli, the Argiletum was eventually absorbed by the construction of the imperial fora from the time of Julius Caesar onwards. Given this encroachment, the limits of the Argiletum were defined differently in various periods. One of the landmarks excavated in the area was a quadrifrons, which was located at the juncture of the Forum Romanum, Argiletum, and Forum of Caesar. It is suggested that a second arch or a temple was also constructed somewhere on the Argiletum, possibly close to the templum iani in the Forum.\n\nBy the time of Martial (died ca 103 CE) the Argiletum had become a seedy district filled with taverns and brothels."

-"The Piano Lesson\n\nThe Piano Lesson is a 1987 play by American playwright August Wilson. It is the fourth play in Wilson's The Pittsburgh Cycle. Wilson began writing this play by playing with the various answers regarding the possibility of \"acquir[ing] a sense of self-worth by denying one's past\". The Piano Lesson received the 1990 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.\n\nA Romare Bearden painting, The Piano Lesson, inspired Wilson to write a play featuring a strong female character to confront African-American history, paralleling Troy in earlier Fences. However, on finishing his play, Wilson found the ending to stray from the empowered female character as well as from the question regarding self-worth. What The Piano Lesson finally seems to ask is: \"What do you do with your legacy, and how do you best put it to use?\"\n\nSet in 1936 Pittsburgh during the aftermath of the Great Depression, The Piano Lesson follows the lives of the Charles family in the Doaker Charles household and an heirloom, the family piano, which is decorated with designs carved by an enslaved ancestor. The play focuses on the arguments between a brother and a sister who have different ideas on what to do with the piano."

-"Renovascular hypertension\n\nRenovascular hypertension is a condition in which high blood pressure is caused by the kidneys' hormonal response to narrowing of the arteries supplying the kidneys. When functioning properly this hormonal axis regulates blood pressure. Due to low local blood flow, the kidneys mistakenly increase blood pressure of the entire circulatory system. It is a form of secondary hypertension - a form of hypertension whose cause is identifiable.\n\nSigns and symptoms\n\nSymptoms of renovascular hypertension include the following:\n\nHigh blood pressure (early age)\nKidney dysfunction\nNarrowing of arteries elsewhere in the body\nPulmonary edema\n\nCause\nThe cause of renovascular hypertension is consistent with any narrowing/blockage of blood supply to the renal organ (renal artery stenosis).

A new law provided that the tsar would choose his own successor, but Peter failed to do so before his death in 1725. In the decades that followed, the absence of clear rules of succession left the monarchy open to intrigues, plots, coups, and countercoups. Henceforth, the crucial factor for obtaining the throne was the support of the elite palace guard in St. Petersburg.\n\nAfter Peter's death, his wife Catherine I ascended the throne. But when she died in 1727, Peter's grandson, Peter II, was crowned tsar. In 1730, Anna Ivanovna, whose father Ivan V had been co-ruler with Peter, ascended the throne. The Supreme Privy Council, a government body established by Catherine I that put Anna on the throne, attempted to impose various conditions on her. In her struggle against those restrictions, Anna had the support of other nobles who feared oligarchic rule more than autocracy.

-"Southern Methodist University Press\n\nSouthern Methodist University Press (or SMU Press) was a university press that is part of Southern Methodist University. It was established in 1937 and was the oldest academic publisher in Texas. The press released eight to ten titles each year and was known for its literary fiction. It was scheduled to suspend operations on June 1, 2010. The provost of SMU announced in 2011 plans to reorganize the press with a smaller budget and different goals. It closed again in 2015.\n\nHistory\nThe first book published by the press was Samuel Wood Greiser's Naturalists of the Frontier (1937). However, the unofficial start of the SMU Press was in 1924, when the Southwest Review was moved from Austin to Dallas. John H. McGinnis served as the unpaid, unofficial editor-in-chief of the Southwest Review from 1927 to 1943 and played an essential role in founding the press. McGinnis acted as the unofficial director of the press during its first five years, in which only three titles were published.

-"Ducklington\n\nDucklington is a village and civil parish on the River Windrush south of Witney in West Oxfordshire. The 2011 Census recorded the parish's population as 1,581.\n\nHistory\nDucklington is one of the earliest Saxon parishes to be recorded in Oxfordshire. In a charter of AD 958 King Edgar the Peaceful granted at Ducklington to his Minister, Eanulf. The toponym \"Ducklington\" may originate from \"Ducel's Farm\" or \"the farm of the sons of Docca\", but it is locally thought to have originated from the central duck pond, where many ducks and ducklings have lived for centuries. After the Norman Conquest Ducklington was held by Robert D'Oyly, a Norman nobleman who took part in William I's conquest of England. The Dyve family then held the Lordship of Ducklington throughout the 13th and 14th centuries, living there until early in the reign of Edward III.\n\nThe Church of England parish church of Saint Bartholomew is 12th century.

Dual Citizenship is permitted under Uruguayan law, and people who naturalise as Uruguayan citizens are not obligated to renounce their previous nationality.\n\nTypes of citizenship \nIn Uruguay, there is a distinction between natural and legal citizenship, similar to the United States.\n\nNatural citizens \nAny person born in Uruguay acquires Uruguayan natural citizenship at birth.\nAny child of a Uruguayan citizen is a citizen of Uruguay, however they will only be categorised as a natural citizen if they were born within the territory of the republic.\n\nLegal citizens \nA legal citizen is someone who obtained citizenship after birth. In this case, a language examination is necessary in order to ensure the person knows Spanish. One can obtain the Uruguayan citizenship in three different ways:\n\nAfter investing a large sum of money in Uruguay or making an important contribution to science, art, or industry of Uruguay and after 3 years of residence in the country.\nA spouse of an Uruguayan citizen has the right of residence in Uruguay, and after five years of residence,"
-"In a German Pension\n\nIn a German Pension is a 1911 collection of short stories by the writer Katherine Mansfield; her first published collection. All but three of the stories were originally published in The New Age edited by A. R. Orage; the first to appear was \"The Child-Who-Was-Tired\". The last three were first published in this collection, and Alpers thinks that two (The Swing of the Pendulum and The Blaze) were probably rejected by Orage for The New Age.\n\nThe collection was originally published in December 1911 by Stephen Swift & Co Ltd; the imprint of Charles Granville the publisher of Rhythm. The first impression of probably 500 copies was followed by two more impressions of 500 copies in January and in May or June 1912. In early October 1912 Granville absconded to Algiers, and his firm was liquidated. A story that copies for America went down with the Titanic in April 1912 is probably not true. \n\nMansfield refused permission for a reprint of the collection in 1920, both as they were juvenilia and they could contribute to post-war jingoism. In 1926 after her death her husband John Middleton Murry reprinted them. Alpers says that Mansfield is famous for"

-"Z-tube\n\nThe Z-tube is an experimental apparatus for measuring the tensile strength of a liquid.\n\nIt consists of a Z-shaped tube with open ends, filled with a liquid, and set on top of a spinning table. If the tube were straight, the liquid would immediately fly out one end or the other of the tube as it began to spin. By bending the ends of the tube back towards the center of rotation, a shift of the liquid away from center will result in the water level in one end of the tube rising and thus increasing the pressure in that end of the tube, and consequently returning the liquid to the center of the tube. By measuring the rotational speed and the distance from the center of rotation to the liquid level in the bent ends of the tube, the pressure reduction inside the tube can be calculated.\n\nNegative pressures, (i.e. less than zero absolute pressure, or in other words, tension) have been reported using water processed to remove dissolved gases. Tensile strengths up to 280 atmospheres have been reported for water in glass.\n\nReferences\n\nCategory:Fluid mechanics\nCategory:Materials science\nCategory:Scientific instruments"

Most of the band escaped on January 9, but the US Army hunted them down.

The ship canal is wide and deep. The resulting \"island\" was called Kuparisaari (meaning \"Copper Island\") by Finnish, Irish, and French/French Canadian settlers in the area. However, neither the United States Geological Survey nor the state of Michigan identify this area as an island or use this name.

In 2004, the conservatory had around 275 faculty members and 1,400 students.\n\nHistory\n\nThe conservatory was founded in 1862 by Anton Rubinstein, a Russian pianist and composer. On his resignation in 1867, he was succeeded by Nikolai Zaremba. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov was appointed as a professor in 1871, and the conservatory has borne his name since 1944. In 1887, Rubinstein returned to the conservatory with the goal of improving overall standards. He revised the curriculum, expelled inferior students, fired and demoted many professors, and made entrance and examination requirements more stringent. In 1891, he resigned again over the Imperial demand of racial quotas.\n\nThe current building was erected in the 1890s on the site of the old Bolshoi Theatre of Saint Petersburg, and it still preserves its grand staircase and landing.

-"Fibronectin binding protein A\n\nFibronectin binding protein A (FnBPA) is a Staphylococcus aureus MSCRAMM cell surface-bound protein that binds to both fibronectin and fibrinogen.\n\nIt is an adhesin which enables Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) to adhere to host cells of another organism, and an invasin facilitating its internalisation into these cells. This is true over a range of different cell types. The FnBP alone is capable of providing this invasive property, without the requirement of co-receptors. Even FnBP coated beads have been shown to become internalised into cells\n\nS. aureus is able to bind to host cells in the absence of the FnBP, but its adherence and invasive properties are much reduced (up to a 500-fold decrease in number of internalised cells)\n\nStructure\n\nThe FnBP inserts into the cell wall of S. aureus by means of a C-terminal LPXTG anchor. Two fibronectin binding domains have been identified - one is present in the C-terminal D repeat region, and one in the N-terminal A region\n\nMechanism\n\nThe fibronectin binding protein is able to bind fibronectin present in the extracellular matrix. Similarly, the \u03b15\u03b21 integrin present on host cells also binds fibronectin to create a link to its actin cytoskeleton, binding via"

-"Bantu expansion\n\nThe Bantu expansion is a major series of migrations of the original proto-Bantu language speaking group, who spread from an original nucleus around West Africa-Central Africa across much of sub-Saharan Africa. In the process, the Proto-Bantu-speaking settlers displaced or absorbed pre-existing hunter-gatherer and pastoralist groups that they encountered.\n\nThe primary evidence for this expansion is linguistic \u2013 a great many of the languages spoken across Sub-Equatorial Africa are remarkably similar to each other, suggesting the common cultural origin of their original speakers. The linguistic core of the Bantu languages, which comprise a branch of the Niger\u2013Congo family, was located in the adjoining regions of Cameroon and Nigeria. However, attempts to trace the exact route of the expansion, to correlate it with archaeological evidence and genetic evidence, have not been conclusive; thus although the expansion is widely accepted as having taken place, many aspects of it remain in doubt or are highly contested.\n\nThe expansion is believed to have taken place in at least two waves, between about 3,000 and 2,000 years ago (approximately 1,000 BC to 1 AD).

-"Problems in coal mining\n\nIf the coal seam reaches a fault, the seam may be significantly displaced, depending on the type of fault and its offset. Machinery trying to mine the coal may not be able to reach the displaced seam, if the displacement is too large. Coal mines use a combination of boreholes and high-resolution seismic reflection data to identify the larger faults and avoid the most faulted areas at the mine planning stage.\n\nWater table\n\nIf the water table is too high, the mine will flood with water. While mining, water needs to be constantly pumped out and this is expensive.\n\nWashout\n\nIf a distributary or river changes course and cuts into the swamp material that will form coal, the coal seam is not fully formed and there may be a problem with mining it.\n\nThickness of seams\n\nIf the seams are too thin it may be uneconomic to mine the coal. The cost of production could exceed the selling price.\n\nSplitting of seams\n\nIf the seam splits, due to a delta collapsing, sand and silt sediments pile up on top until that area is covered. This may make all or part of the coal seam uneconomic to"
-"College of Advanced Education\n\nThe College of Advanced Education (CAE) was a class of Australian tertiary education institution that existed from 1967 until the early 1990s. They ranked below universities, but above Colleges of Technical and Further Education (TAFE) which offer trade qualification. CAEs were designed to provide formal post-secondary qualifications of a more vocational nature than those available from universities, chiefly in such areas as teaching, nursing, accountancy, fine art and information technology.\n\nDescription \nColleges of Advanced Education were similar in ideals and physical facilities to Australian universities of the period, but were state owned and controlled instead of federally funded and independent. CAEs offered shorter courses, such as certificates and diplomas, and were initially excluded from awarding degrees, which were the purview of the universities. Through the mid-1980s onwards, many CAEs offered bachelor degree courses. Additionally, their staff, who were not required to undertake research, were generally on lower pay scales than their university counterparts.\n\nCAEs were designed to complement universities, forming a binary system modelled on that of the United Kingdom. This system was created by the Menzies government on the advice of the Committee on the Future of Tertiary Education in Australia, chaired by Sir Leslie"
-"Kindertransport (play)\n\nKindertransport is a play by Diane Samuels, which examines the life, during World War II and afterwards, of a Kindertransport child. Though fictitious, it is based upon many real kindertransport stories. The play is published by Nick Hern Books.\n\nSynopsis \n\nIn November 1938, after nights of violence against Jews across Germany and Austria, the British government introduced a programme called the Kindertransport (children's transport), which gave Jewish children\u2014and only children\u2014safe passage to the UK. Spared the horrors of the death camps, the Jewish \"Kinder\" were uprooted, separated from their parents and transported to a different culture where they faced, not the unmitigated horror of the death camps, but a very human mixture of kindness, indifference, occasional exploitation, and the selflessness of ordinary people faced with needy children. Eva Schlesinger, daughter of Helga and Werner, is sent away to live with a foster carer in Manchester, England, temporarily until her parents find work and move to England too. She lives with Lil, a woman who has two other children (Nora and Margaret) and is married to Jack. Lil allows Eva to smoke when she meets her which shows how Lil is not a proper guardian for Eva at first."
-"Belknap (surname)\n\nBelknap or Belnap is a surname of Norman origin from England that may come from the Anglo-Norman words \"belle,\" meaning beautiful, and \"knap,\" meaning the crest or summit of a small hill. Although today the \"k\" in Belknap is generally silent as in the words \"knight\" or \"knee,\" it is evident from documents dating from the Middle English period that it was originally pronounced as a hard \"k.\" The surname is relatively infrequent, and most Belknaps or Belnaps in America are thought to descend from one man, Abraham Belknap (formerly known as Beltoft), who migrated from Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, England to Lynn, Massachusetts about 1635. The surname continued in England. Today, a wide variety of locations and institutions are named Belknap or Belnap, all of which are believed to be connected in some manner to this early Puritan emigrant to America. Places named Belknap or Belnap include over 130 streets, approximately 20 towns, and 1 U.S. county. Natural features named Belknap range from a nunatak near the South Pole in Antarctica, to a Canadian cape near the North Pole, to a seamount beneath the Pacific Ocean between California and Hawaii, to a tiny rocky island in Indonesia in Southeast"

-"Model transformation language\n\nA model transformation language in systems and software engineering is a language intended specifically for model transformation.\n\nOverview \nThe notion of model transformation is central to model-driven development. A model transformation, which is essentially a program which operates on models, can be written in a general-purpose programming language, such as Java. However, special-purpose model transformation languages can offer advantages, such as syntax that makes it easy to refer to model elements. For writing bidirectional model transformations, which maintain consistency between two or more models, a specialist bidirectional model transformation language is particularly important, because it can help avoid the duplication that would result from writing each direction of the transformation separately. \n\nCurrently, most model transformation languages are being developed in academia. The OMG has standardised a family of model transformation languages called QVT, but the field is still immature.\n\nAvailable transformation languages \n ATL : a transformation language developed by the INRIA\n Beanbag (see ) : an operation-based language for establishing consistency over data incrementally\n GReAT : a transformation language available in the GME\n Epsilon family (see ) : a model management platform that provides transformation languages for model-to-model, model-to-text, update-in-place, migration and model merging transformations.\n F-Alloy :"

-"Bartolino da Padova\n\nBartolino da Padova (also \"Magister Frater Bartolinus de Padua\") (fl. c. 1365 \u2013 c. 1405) was an Italian composer of the late 14th century. He is a representative of the stylistic period known as the Trecento, sometimes known as the \"Italian ars nova\", the transitional period between medieval and Renaissance music in Italy.\n\nLife\nNext to nothing is known for certain about his life, but some information can be inferred from his music. He was probably from Padua, and he was a Carmelite, because a picture of him appears in the Squarcialupi Codex in which he is wearing the garb of that order. Most likely he was in the employ of the Carrara family, since references to them appear in his music. There is a possibility he spent some time in Florence around 1389\u20131390. References to the Visconti family in his music have been variously interpreted: some scholars have suggested that he was away from Padua, and may have been working in support of Gian Galeazzo Visconti during the period of his campaign of conquest in northern Italy, which included Padua, while more recent scholars have attempted to refute this view, suggesting instead that the references may"

-"Macellum of Pozzuoli\n\nThe Macellum of Pozzuoli () was the macellum or market building of the Roman colony of Puteoli, now the city of Pozzuoli in southern Italy. When first excavated in the 18th century, the discovery of a statue of Serapis led to the building being misidentified as the city's serapeum or Temple of Serapis.\n\nA band of borings or Gastrochaenolites left by marine Lithophaga bivalve molluscs on three standing marble columns indicated that these columns had remained upright over centuries while the site sank below sea level, then re-emerged. This puzzling feature was the subject of debate in early geology, and eventually led to the identification of bradyseism in the area, showing that the Earth's crust could be subject to gradual movement without destructive earthquakes.\n\nRoman origins\nThe city of Dicearchia, founded by Greek refugees escaping dictatorship on Samos, was integrated into the Roman Empire as the city of Puteoli in 194 BC.

-"Extraposition\n\nExtraposition is a mechanism of syntax that alters word order in such a manner that a relatively \"heavy\" constituent appears to the right of its canonical position. Extraposing a constituent results in a discontinuity and in this regard, it is unlike shifting, which does not generate a discontinuity. The extraposed constituent is separated from its governor by one or more words that dominate its governor. Two types of extraposition are acknowledged in theoretical syntax: standard cases where extraposition is optional and it-extraposition where extraposition is obligatory. Extraposition is motivated in part by a desire to reduce center embedding by increasing right-branching and thus easing processing, center-embedded structures being more difficult to process. Extraposition occurs frequently in English and related languages.\n\nExamples\nStandard cases of extraposition are optional, although at times the extraposed version of the sentence is strongly preferred. The following pairs of sentences illustrate \"normal\" word order first followed by the same sentence with extraposition:\n\na. Someone who we don't know left a message.\nb.

Hilton has rejected the suggestion that he took conscious inspiration from paintings of dancers and bathers by C\u00e9zanne or Matisse, but admitted they were \"probably subconsciously\" important.\n\nThe painting was exhibited in the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 1964. It was also exhibited in a retrospective exhibition of Hilton's work at the"

He worked for a while for the Mainz, Germany, based music publisher B. Schotts S\u00f6hne before he went to Paris in 1907 to establish his own music publishing company. Initially, he also acted as the French representative of publishers like Breitkopf & H\u00e4rtel, Ricordi, Schott, Simrock, Universal Edition, and others. He grew considerably in importance in France when he took over a number of established publishers in the course of the 1920s.\n\nEschig died in Paris.\n\nCompany history\n\nEschig began by publishing light music and French-language versions of Viennese operettas such as Franz Leh\u00e1r's Die lustige Witwe. With his own catalogue, he entirely devoted himself to twentieth century music, initially by acquiring other publishers such as E. Demets (in 1923). By partnering with Emilio Pujol in his \"Biblioth\u00e8que de musique ancienne et moderne pour guitare\" (from 1927), he became a leading publisher of music for the classical guitar. Since 1924, he"
-"Harry Hosier\n\nHarry Hosier (\u2013May 1806), better known during his life as \"Black Harry\", was an African American Methodist preacher during the Second Great Awakening in the early United States. Dr.\u2009Benjamin Rush said that, \"making allowances for his illiteracy, he was the greatest orator in America\". His style was widely influential but he was never formally ordained by the Methodist Episcopal Church or the Rev.\u2009Richard Allen's separate African Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia.\n\nName\nBetter known as \"Black Harry\" during his lifetime, Harry Hosier was illiterate and his name is also recorded variously as Hoosier, Hoshur, and Hossier. Hosier is an occupational surname referring to a maker or seller of hosiery, still commonly worn by men as well as women in the 18th century. It may have been adopted as a slave name from one of Harry's masters or referred to his livelihood in Baltimore before meeting Bishop Asbury.\n\nThe spelling \"Hoosier\" caused William Piersen, a history professor at Fisk University, to argue for a connection to the Indiana demonym \"Hoosier\". Horton suggests that, if the uncommon surname Hoosier is correct, it would represent a parallel development: the application to Harry of the same epithet referring to \"low-born\""

-"White Hot Odyssey\n\nWhite Hot Odyssey was an American hard rock band formed in Eugene, Oregon in 2002 by Cherry Poppin' Daddies vocalist Steve Perry and guitarist Jason Moss, along with guitarist Mark Rogers, bassist Ed Cole and drummer Jivan Valpey.\n\nBiography\nIn frontman Steve Perry's words, White Hot Odyssey was an attempt to bring the \"roll\" back to \"rock and roll\", an experiment in \"sexual, stupid, big dumb rock\" reminiscent of the glam, hard rock and protopunk of the 1970s. Perry explained that he had always wanted to front a band of this style since he was an adolescent and listened to groups such as the New York Dolls, The Stooges, Sweet and T. Rex. Having experimented with glam rock under the production supervision of Tony Visconti for the Daddies' 2000 single \"Diamond Light Boogie\", Perry was inspired to pursue the idea further. In a nod to the extravagant and outlandish fashion of glam rock (and perhaps the early years of the Daddies), i.e. feather boas and other such androgynous attire, White Hot Odyssey was styled around Louis XIV powdered wigs and knee-length pantaloons.\n\nThe band originally formed as \"Vagiant\", playing their first show in early 2003 as an"

She weaves a tapestry, viewing the outside world only through reflections in a mirror behind her. The painting depicts the pivotal scene in the third part of the poem: the Lady spies \"bold Sir Launcelot\" in her mirror: the sight of the handsome knight and the sound of him singing draws her away from her loom to the window, golden yarn still clinging around her knees, bringing down the curse upon her as \"the mirror crack'd from side to side\".

-"Latxa\n\nThe Latxa (; ) is a breed of domestic sheep native to the Basque Country of Spain. Mostly contained within the provinces of Biscay, Gipuzkoa and Navarre, Latxa are dairy sheep whose unpasteurized milk is used to produce Idiaz\u00e1bal and Roncal cheeses. There are two sub-types of the breed, a dark-faced and a blonde. \n\nThe breed is a medium or small-sized sheep with long, coarse wool. Ewes are polled or have short horns, while rams always possess long, spiral horns. The name latxa itself refers to the rough quality of the wool, which is largely an agricultural byproduct today.\n\nTraditionally, Laxta sheep have been managed by moving the flock to mountain pastures in summer when the ewes have finished lactating, with cheese-making taking place on the farm. Some flocks are moved while still lactating, with the animals being hand-milked on the high pastures. Since 1982, a breeding scheme has been introduced and new production methods tested. Artificial insemination is being used to provide earlier lambing and prolong the breeding season and machine milking is taking the place of hand milking.

-"Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense\n\nPlant use of endophytic fungi in defense occurs when endophytic fungi, which live symbiotically with the majority of plants by entering their cells , often fungus or bacteruim , are utilized as an indirect defense against herbivores. In exchange for carbohydrate energy resources, the fungus provides benefits to the plant which can include increased water or nutrient uptake and protection from phytophagous insects, birds or mammals. Once associated, the fungi alter nutrient content of the plant and enhance or begin production of secondary metabolites. The change in chemical composition acts to deter herbivory by insects, grazing by ungulates and/or oviposition by adult insects. Endophyte-mediated defense can also be effective against pathogens and non-herbivory damage.\n\nThis differs from other forms of indirect defense in that the fungi live within the plant cells and directly alter their physiology. In contrast, other biotic defenses such as predators or parasites of the herbivores consuming a plant are normally attracted by volatile organic compounds (known as semiochemicals) released following damage or by food rewards and shelter produced by the plant. These defenders vary in the time spent with the plant: from long enough to oviposit to remaining there"

He started missionary activities in Manchuria in 1917 but the Great Kanto earthquake made him return to Japan in 1923. Reading of Nichiren's declaration that the Lotus Sutra would one day be preached in India, he decided to go there. He arrived in Calcutta in January 1931 and walked throughout the town chanting the daimoku and beating a drum, a practice known as gyakku sh\u014ddai.\n\nIn 1933 he met Mahatma Gandhi at his ashram in Wardha.

-"Oakes College\n\nOakes College is a residential college at the University of California, Santa Cruz. It is on the southwestern corner of the campus, south of Rachel Carson College and east of the Family Student Housing complex.\n\nOakes was founded in 1972 as College Seven by Professors Herman J. Blake and Ralph C. Guzm\u00e1n. In 1968, the Black Liberation Front, a black power group, demanded an all-black college. Blake, UCSC's only African American faculty member at the time, along with Guzm\u00e1n, one of the few Mexican-American faculty on campus, proposed a compromise in which College Seven's academic program would focus on ethnic studies, particularly the studies of minority groups in California. Though the term ethnic studies was dropped in the planning phases, the college has always stressed racial, ethnic and cultural diversity, along with the representation and support of students from historically disadvantaged groups. \n\nOakes is perceived by some students as a \"minority college\", partly due to its roots in radical elements of the Civil Rights Movement. Comparative racial and ethnic statistics do show that Oakes' student body has slightly higher percentages of minorities than a number of other UCSC colleges and UCSC's student body as a whole.

-"GadY\n\nGadY RNA (previously named IS183 in ) is a non-coding RNA. The GadY gene is located on between and on the opposite strand to the GadX and GadW genes. GadY can form base pairs with the 3' UTR of its target mRNA gadX, this pairing is thought to confer increased stability to the transcript, allowing accumulation of gadX (a transcriptional regulator of the acid response) and therefore increased expression of downstream acid resistance genes. The GadY gene produces three overlapping transcripts that differ in length. The long form is 105 nucleotides in length and two processed versions are 59 and 90 nucleotides in length. It has been shown that all three forms of GadY bind to the Hfq protein.\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n \n\nCategory:Non-coding RNA"

-"Handcuff knot\n\nA handcuff knot is a knot tied in the bight having two adjustable loops in opposing directions, able to be tightened around hands or feet. The knot itself does not possess any inherent locking action, and thus is not as easy to use for such purposes as the name might suggest.\n\nThe knot is also known as a hobble knot for similar reasons, from the idea that the knot was sometimes used on the legs of horses to limit the distance their riders had to walk in the morning to retrieve them.\n\nThe knot consists of two simple loops, overlaid, and with the ends pulled through. At that stage, the knot is slippery and easy to adjust. The knot can be \"locked\" by making one or more overhand knots with the loose ends in the manner of a reef knot.\n\nThe sizes of the two loops can also be fixed by making half hitches with each end over the necks of the loops. This configuration is known as the fireman's chair knot.\n\nSee also\nTom fool's knot, a similar knot sometimes incorrectly identified as a handcuff knot\nList of knots\n\nReferences"

Officials lobbied for a townsite to be created in 1896 following the realisation that the area was becoming an important mining centre. The mining warden suggested several names but since the area was already well known as Mount Sir Samuel so the Mount was dropped and the town became Sir Samuel.

-"CO-OPN\n\nThe CO-OPN (Concurrent Object-Oriented Petri Nets) specification language is based on both algebraic specifications and algebraic Petri nets formalisms. The former formalism represent the data structures aspects, while the latter stands for the behavioral and concurrent aspects of systems. In order to deal with large specifications some structuring capabilities have been introduced. The object-oriented paradigm has been adopted, which means that a CO-OPN specification is a collection of objects which interact concurrently. Cooperation between the objects is achieved by means of a synchronization mechanism, i.e., each object event may request to be synchronized with some methods (parameterized events) of one or a group of partners by means of a synchronization expression.\n\nA CO-OPN specification consists of a collection of two different modules: the abstract data type modules and the object modules. The abstract data type modules concern the data structure component of the specifications, and many sorted algebraic specifications are used when describing these modules. Furthermore, the object modules represent the concept of encapsulated entities that possess an internal state and provide the exterior with various services. For this second sort of modules, an algebraic net formalism has been adopted. Algebraic Petri nets, a kind of high level nets,"

-"Christian views on the classics\n\nChristian views on the classics have varied widely throughout history.\n\nEarly period\nWhen Christianity at first appeared in Rome, introduced by Apostle Paul, the instruction of youth was largely confined to the basics of reading, writing and mathematics followed by the study of grammar, rhetoric, philosophy, and history. Much of the history was in verse; chief among which were the works of Horace and Virgil. Until the peace of the Church, early in the fourth century, the value and use of classical studies were unquestioned. Converts to Christianity brought with them such mental cultivation as they had received while pagans. They used their knowledge of mythology and ancient traditions as a means of attacking paganism. Tertullian forbade Christians to teach, but admitted that school attendance by Christian pupils was unavoidable. Arnobius, Lactantius, and Cassianus were classical Christian teachers.\n\nDuring the fourth century the value of secular literature began to be questioned by Biblical scholars. This opposition is condensed in the accepted translation, dating from Jerome from Psalm 70:15-16 Quoniam non cognovi litteraturam, introibo in potentias Domini; Domine memorabor justitiae tuae solius.

-"Guaranteed Minimum Pension\n\nThe Guaranteed Minimum Pension (GMP) is the minimum pension which a United Kingdom occupational pension scheme has to provide for those employees who were contracted out of the State Earnings-Related Pension Scheme (SERPS) between 6 April 1978 and 5 April 1997. The amount is said to be 'broadly equivalent' to the amount the member would have received had they not been contracted out.\n\nOriginally, when the GMP became payable at State Pension Age, the cost-of-living increases associated with this element of a member's pension were paid by the state with the individual's state pension. With regard to any GMP accrued from 6 April 1988, the occupational pension scheme is required to pay increases in line with the Consumer Price Index up to a maximum of 3%. The change in rules led to a distinction between Pre 1988 GMP and Post 1988 GMP.\n\nWith effect from 6 April 1997, Guaranteed Minimum Pensions no longer accrued and the system was replaced by the Reference Scheme Test.\n\nExample\nThe system therefore became increasingly complex and can be illustrated with an example.

-"Benedict Arnold's expedition to Quebec\n\nIn September 1775, early in the American Revolutionary War, Colonel Benedict Arnold led a force of 1,100 Continental Army troops on an expedition from Cambridge in the Province of Massachusetts Bay to the gates of Quebec City. The expedition was part of a two-pronged invasion of the British Province of Quebec, and passed through the wilderness of what is now Maine. The other expedition invaded Quebec from Lake Champlain, led by Richard Montgomery.\n\nUnanticipated problems beset the expedition as soon as it left the last significant colonial outposts in Maine. The portages up the Kennebec River proved grueling, and the boats frequently leaked, ruining gunpowder and spoiling food supplies. More than a third of the men turned back before reaching the height of land between the Kennebec and Chaudi\u00e8re rivers. The areas on either side of the height of land were swampy tangles of lakes and streams, and the traversal was made more difficult by bad weather and inaccurate maps. Many of the troops lacked experience handling boats in white water, which led to the destruction of more boats and supplies in the descent to the Saint Lawrence River via the fast-flowing Chaudi\u00e8re.\n\nBy the"

-"Alpha-ketol rearrangement\n\nThe \u03b1-ketol rearrangement is the acid-, base-, or heat-induced 1,2-migration of an alkyl or aryl group in an \u03b1-hydroxy ketone or aldehyde to give an isomeric product.\n\nIntroduction\nLike other ketogenic rearrangements, the \u03b1-ketol rearrangement involves the transformation of an alkoxide into a carbonyl group with concomitant movement of the bonding electrons of the migrating group towards an adjacent trigonal center. A distinctive feature of this particular rearrangement, however, is its reversibility\u2014as a result, the more stable \u03b1-hydroxy carbonyl compound is favored. A general scheme for the rearrangement is shown below.\n(1)\nThis rearrangement differs from similar isomerizations of carbohydrates, which involve the migration of hydrogen and proceed through discrete enediol intermediates. These include the Lobry\u2013de Bruyn\u2013van Ekenstein transformation, the Heyns and Amadori rearrangements, and the Voight and Bilik reactions. \u03b1-hydroxy imines may also undergo the rearrangement, although the thermodynamic driving force to amino ketones is often weak (in the absence of protic acids; see below).\n\nAdvantages: Large thermodynamic energy differences between reactants and products can be harnessed to drive these reactions to completion. Reaction progress can also be influenced through conformational control and often exhibit asymmetric induction.\n\nDisadvantages: Because the reaction is reversible and thermodynamically controlled, it"

-"Cyclic di-GMP-I riboswitch\n\nCyclic di-GMP-I riboswitches are a class of riboswitch that specifically bind cyclic di-GMP, which is a second messenger that is used in a variety of microbial processes including virulence, motility and biofilm formation. Cyclic di-GMP-I riboswitches were originally identified by bioinformatics as a conserved RNA-like structure called the \"GEMM motif\". These riboswitches are present in a wide variety of bacteria, and are most common in Clostridia and certain varieties of Proteobacteria. The riboswitches are present in pathogens such as Clostridium difficile, Vibrio cholerae (which causes cholera) and Bacillus anthracis (which causes anthrax). Geobacter uraniumreducens is predicted to have 30 instances of this riboswitch in its genome. A bacteriophage that infects C. difficile is predicted to carry a cyclic di-GMP-I riboswitch, which it might use to detect and exploit the physiological state of bacteria that it infects.\n\nThe discovery of this riboswitch class answers the question of how genes are regulated in response to cyclic di-GMP levels in many different bacteria. However, some bacteria in which cyclic di-GMP has been studied lack cyclic di-GMP-I riboswitches, e.g. Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Cyclic di-GMP-I riboswitches are the first kind of riboswitch to be discovered whose role is not primarily in regulating metabolism,"

It would be the common laws of this time period which would most directly influence those customary in King Arthur's court \u2014 assuming its existence is founded in more than the legends and fables of medieval romances.\n\nThe origins of the word treason, as speakers of English would recognize it, date to the 13th century. Indeed, prior to the Treason Act of 1351, there were few laws which outlined comprehensively the legal qualifications for treason, or the appropriate punishments for said crimes. The process of conviction, trial, and sentencing of traitors such as Lancelot or Mordred in Arthurian literature was greatly informed by the very real, very gruesome practices of both French and English courts,"

-"Principle of univariance\n\nThe principle of univariance states that one and the same visual receptor cell can be excited by different combinations of wavelength and intensity, so that the brain cannot know the color of a certain point of the retinal image. One individual photoreceptor type can therefore not differentiate between a change in wavelength and a change in intensity. Thus the wavelength information can be extracted only by comparing the responses across different types of receptors. The principle of univariance was first described by W. A. H. Rushton (p.\u00a04P).\n\nBoth cone monochromats (those who only have 1 cone type) and rod monochromats (those with no cones) suffer from the principle of univariance.The principle of univariance can be seen in situations where a stimulus can vary in two dimensions, but a cell's response can vary in one. For example, a coloured light may vary in both wavelength and in luminance. However, the brain's cells can only vary in the rate at which action potentials are fired. Therefore, a cell tuned to red light may respond the same to a bright red light as to a dim yellow light. To avoid this, the response of multiple cells is compared.\n\nReferences"

-"Uranium tailings\n\nUranium tailings are a waste byproduct (tailings) of uranium mining. In mining, raw uranium ore is brought to the surface and crushed into a fine sand. The valuable uranium-bearing minerals are then removed via heap leaching with the use of acids or bases, and the remaining radioactive sludge, called \"uranium tailings\", is stored in huge impoundments. A short ton (907\u00a0kg) of ore yield one to five pounds (0.45 to 2.3\u00a0kg) of uranium depending on the uranium content of the mineral. Uranium tailings can retain up to 85% of the ore's original radioactivity.\n\nIf uranium tailings are stored aboveground and allowed to dry out, the radioactive sand can be carried great distances by the wind, entering the food chain and bodies of water. The danger posed by such sand dispersal is uncertain at best given the dilution effect of dispersal. The majority of tailing mass will be inert rock, just as it was in the raw ore before the extraction of the uranium, but physically altered, ground up, mixed with large amounts of water and exposed to atmospheric oxygen, which can substantially alter chemical behaviour.\n\nUranium tailings contain over a dozen radioactive nuclides, which are the primary"

Despite its location just from Philadelphia, Saddler's Woods includes wetlands, young woodlands, and old-growth forest. \n\nThe Arowmen and Erinwonek tribes of the Lenape people once lived in the area. Beginning in the 17th century, the surrounding forests were cleared for farms, timber, and fuel by European settlers. The woods are named for a nineteenth-century owner, Joshua Saddler, who in 1868 he wrote in his will that none of his heirs \"shall cut the timber thereon.\" \n\nWhen threatened by development, part of the Woods was purchased by the Township in 1999. The remaining area was protected by a conservation easement in 2003. The Saddler's Woods Conservation Association currently works to restore and maintain the Woods.\n\nTree species in the Woods include Eastern Black Oak, White Oak, Northern Red Oak, American Beech, Tulip Poplar, and Red Maple. Some trees measure in diameter and are 300 years old.

Mr Burrell was a petrol station manager at the Penzance, Cornwall, supermarket. The petrol station manager post would be replaced by a petrol station controller who got paid less. The work was much the same. The former job description carried some management responsibility but Mr Burrell had not in practice performed them. Mr Burrell did not apply for the new post and got redundancy. He then claimed unfair dismissal. The Tribunal held the employers had not demonstrated Mr Burrell was redundant, because the new job involved the same work as before.\n\nJudgment\nPeter Clark J held the Tribunal had used the wrong test for redundancy as understood from ERA 1996 section 139(1)(b). The right one is to ask (1) whether the employer\u2019s need for employees had diminished and (2) whether the dismissal was caused by the diminution. So the case was remitted to be reheard.

It then became the property of a most prominent Burgundian family, the Lords of Neufch\u00e2tel, after the wedding of daughter Alix de Vaud\u00e9mont with Thiebaut VII of Neufch\u00e2tel-Burgundy.\n\nIt became the centre of a wide territory which supported the Burgundian cause for years.\nIn 1544, the House of Lorraine gained possession of Ch\u00e2tel, thus ending a legal wrangling between Elisabeth of Neufch\u00e2tel's heirs. Then the fortress stood up against the French invasion during the Thirty Years' War and changed hands nine times.\n\nIt was finally completely dismantled in 1671 on Louis the XIV's orders.\n\nBuilt on the edge of a jutting limestone promontory alongside the Mosel River, surrounded by dry ditches wide, the castle dominated the medieval town and its surrounding walls with"
-"Achromatorida\n\nAchromatorida is an order of non-pigmented intraerythrocytic parasitic alveolates belonging to the subclass Haemosporidiasina. The order was created by Jacques Euz\u00e9by in 1988.\n\nThe taxonomy of these organisms has been one of some controversy. Weylon in 1926 grouped many of these genera into the genus Babesia - given what is now known about these genera this was probably an error. Agreement on the organisation of these genera probably cannot be regarded as being settled.\n\nDescription\n\nThese are minute rounded or pyriform parasites found within erythrocytes, or other circulating or endothelial cells of vertebrates. The parasites reproduce by merogony without oocysts or spores.\n\nThe apical complex has a polar ring and rhopteries. A conoid is lacking and most species lack the associated pellicular microtubules.\n\nFlagellae are lacking. The trophozoite stage is separated from erythrocyte by single membrane (in the other groups there usually 2 or more). Vectors include ticks and leeches.\n\nEvolution\n\nA Bayesian analysis based on the nuclear genes suggests a date of divergence between Babesia and Theileria of ( 95% credible interval \u2013)\n\nTaxonomy\nThis order is divided into two suborders:\n\nSuborder Babesiina\n\nThese are agents of piroplasmosis sensu stricto.

-"The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz\n\nThe Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz (original Spanish title: Ensayo de un crimen, \"Rehearsal for a Violent Crime\") is a 1955 Mexican film by Spanish-born writer-director Luis Bu\u00f1uel. It focuses on a would-be serial killer whose plans, although elaborate, never result in an actual murder.\n\nPlot\nArchibaldo de la Cruz (Alonso) is a wealthy Mexican man. As a privileged child during the Mexican Revolution, he witnessed the death of his governess, who died as she told him a fable about a music box that his mother had just given him. Because of the contents of the story and the coincidental timing of the governess's death, a young Archibaldo concludes that he had killed the woman using the music box. It is from there that his desire to kill begins.\n\nAs an adult, Archibaldo relates this story to a nun, and threatens to kill her with a straight razor. The terrified woman runs from Archibaldo, eventually running into an empty elevator shaft to her death. Archibaldo is called in by a judge investigating the incident. He confesses that he is responsible for her death, and for many others.\n\nPatricia Terrazas (Macedo),"

-"Russian copulation\n\nIn cryptography, Russian copulation is a method of rearranging plaintext before encryption so as to conceal stereotyped headers, salutations, introductions, endings, signatures, etc.. This obscures clues for a cryptanalyst, and can be used to increase cryptanalytic difficulty in naive cryptographic schemes (however, most modern schemes contain more rigorous defences; see ciphertext indistinguishability). This is of course desirable for those sending messages and wishing them to remain confidential. Padding is another technique for obscuring such clues.\n\nThe technique is to break the starting plaintext message into two parts and then to invert the order of the parts (similar to circular shift). This puts all endings and beginnings (presumably the location of most boilerplate phrases) \"somewhere in the middle\" of the version of the plaintext that is actually encrypted. For some messages, mostly those not in a human language (e.g., images or tabular data), the decrypted version of the plaintext will present problems when reversing the inversion. For messages expressed in ordinary language, there is sufficient redundancy that the inversion can almost always be reversed by a human immediately on inspection.\n\nThe English phrase suggests that it originally came from an observation about Russian cryptographic practice.

-"Myriophyllum spicatum\n\nMyriophyllum spicatum (Eurasian watermilfoil or spiked water-milfoil) is native to Europe, Asia, and north Africa, but has a wide geographic and climatic distribution among some 57 countries, extending from northern Canada to South Africa. It is a submerged aquatic plant, grows in still or slow-moving water, and is considered to be a highly invasive species.\n\nDescription\nEurasian watermilfoil has slender stems up to long. The submerged leaves (usually between 15\u201335\u00a0 mm long) are borne in pinnate whorls of four, with numerous thread-like leaflets roughly 4\u201313\u00a0mm long. Plants are monoecious with flowers produced in the leaf axils (male above, female below) on a spike 5\u201315\u00a0cm long held vertically above the water surface, each flower is inconspicuous, orange-red, 4\u20136\u00a0mm long. Eurasian water milfoil has 12- 21 pairs of leaflets while northern watermilfoil M. sibiricum only has 5\u20139 pairs.

-"Walter HWK 109-509\n\nThe Walter HWK 109-509 was a German liquid-fuel bipropellant rocket engine that powered the Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet and Bachem Ba 349 aircraft. It was produced by Hellmuth Walter Kommanditgesellschaft (HWK) commencing in 1943, with license production by the Heinkel firm's facilities in Jenbach, Austria.\n\nDesign and development\n\nEarly versions of the Me 163 had been powered by an earlier design running on a \"cold engine\" fueled with Z-Stoff. This fuel tended to clog the jets in the combustion chamber, causing fluctuations in power and potentially explosions. Worse, however, was the fact that the engine could not be throttled, and when the aircraft leveled off after its climb to altitude it quickly accelerated to speeds that caused serious compressibility issues. The RLM demanded that a version be developed with a throttle.\n\nDuring this period Walter has also been working with a new fuel known as C-Stoff that gave off significant heat and was thus known as the \"hot engine\". C-Stoff was a mix of 30% hydrazine hydrate + 57% methanol + 13% water with a small amount of potassium-copper-cyanide. The oxidizer, known as T-Stoff, consisted of an 80%-concentration hydrogen peroxide-based formulation. The two reacted violently on contact."

-"Niketas (son of Artabasdos)\n\nNiketas () was the eldest son of the Byzantine general and usurper Artabasdos (r. 741\u2013743). He served as a general during his father's usurpation against Emperor Constantine V (r. 741\u2013775).\n\nBiography\nNiketas was the eldest son of Artabasdos. His mother may have been Anna, but it is not certain: Paul Speck hypothesized that he descended from an earlier marriage, since Artabasdos named his younger brother Nikephoros, and not him, as co-emperor. According to the hagiography of Michael Synkellos, there were further seven siblings, whose names are not mentioned.\n\nAfter Artabasdos ascended the imperial throne in 741, Niketas was named strategos of the Armeniac Theme (some sources call him monostrategos, \"commander-in-chief\"). In August 742 or 743, however, he was defeated in the Battle of Modrine by the forces of Emperor Constantine V. Niketas fled the field, but regrouped his scattered army and resumed the pursuit of Constantine up to Chrysopolis. Defeated once again by Constantine at a battle near Nicomedia, he was captured and imprisoned. After Constantine regained Constantinople and overthrew Artabasdos in November 743, Niketas was blinded along with his father and Nikephoros and paraded through the Hippodrome of Constantinople.\n\nNothing is known of him thereafter"

There is also a notable Red Tory tendency in the riding that enabled the former Progressive Conservative Party to win on occasion. In the 1997 federal election, the New Democratic Party's Yvon Godin won an unexpected victory over powerful Liberal cabinet minister Doug Young, mostly due to his Union connections and EI recipients' reaction to Liberal cuts to Employment Insurance.

There Bernardino came under the influences of Mattia Preti, Andrea Sacchi and Pier Francesco Mola, and of Guercino, to the extent that until the 20th century Bernardino's fresco of Aurora in Palazzo Bianchi Bandinelli was attributed to Guercino himself.

-"Relativistic quantum cryptography\n\nRelativistic quantum cryptography is a sub-field of quantum cryptography, in which in addition to exploiting the principles of quantum physics, the no-superluminal signalling principle of relativity theory stating that information cannot travel faster than light is exploited too. Technically speaking, relativistic quantum cryptography is a sub-field of relativistic cryptography, in which cryptographic protocols exploit the no-superluminal signalling principle, independently of whether quantum properties are used or not. However, in practice, the term relativistic quantum cryptography is used for relativistic cryptography too.\n\nHistory\nIn 1997 and 1998, some important tasks in mistrustful cryptography were shown to be impossible to achieve with unconditional security. Mayers and Lo and Chau showed that unconditionally secure quantum bit commitment was impossible. Lo showed that oblivious transfer and a broad class of secure computations were also impossible to achieve with unconditional security in quantum cryptography. Moreover, Lo and Chau showed that unconditionally secure ideal quantum coin tossing was impossible too. In this context, Kent provided in 1999 the first relativistic cryptographic protocols, for bit commitment and ideal coin tossing, which overcome the assumptions made by Mayers, Lo and Chau, and achieve unconditional security. Since then, other unconditionally secure relativistic protocols for bit commitment"

It is now a nature reserve, run by Essex Wildlife Trust, and the eastern half is part of the Leigh National Nature Reserve. At the western end are two bird hides; one overlooks a purpose-built scrape or lagoon where waders feed. During the breeding season both waders (including Avocets) and gulls nest here. A nest watch has been organised for some years following a serious case of Avocet egg stealing. On the south side of the island, at the end of the island road, is a sloping concrete jetty, a boat storage area and two car parking areas.\n\nSee also\n\nIslands in the River Thames\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\nAerial Video of Two Tree Island,"

B and C specification cars were also built to accommodate different engines, but the car could not revive Cooper's fortunes and this type represents the last Formula One chassis built and raced by the former champion team.\n\nT86\nThe Cooper T81 had proved rather successful when it first appeared in 1966 but by mid-1967 it had slipped behind the newer cars of the leading teams. The new T86 car was built for Cooper's lead driver Jochen Rindt to use, starting with the British Grand Prix, a narrower, lower and lighter car fabricated from Elektron alloys with a bump around the gear lever to give the driver more space while changing gear, a feature that became a common sight on single-seater cars well into the 1970s.

-"Adoption disclosure\n\nAdoption disclosure refers to the official release of information relating to the legal adoption of a child. Throughout much of the 20th century, many Western countries had legislation intended to prevent adoptees and adoptive families from knowing the identities of birth parents and vice versa. After a decline in the social stigma surrounding adoption, many Western countries changed laws to allow for the release of formerly secret birth information, usually with limitations.\n\nHistory \nThough adoption is an ancient practice, the notion of formal laws intended to solidify the adoption by restricting information exchange is comparatively young. In most Western countries until the 1960s and 1970s, adoption bore with it a certain stigma as it was associated in the popular mind with illegitimacy, orphanhood, and premarital or extramarital sex. Unmarried pregnant women were often sent elsewhere from the latter stages of pregnancy until birth, with the intent of concealing the pregnancy from family and neighbours.\n\nThe passage of legislation which solidified the secrecy of adoption for both parties was regarded as a social good: it attempted to ensure the shame associated with adoption was a one-time event and prevent disputes over the child.

-"D-stereospecific aminopeptidase\n\nIn molecular biology, D-stereospecific aminopeptidase (D-aminopeptidase) is an enzyme which catalyses the release of an N-terminal D-amino acid from a peptide, Xaa-|-Yaa-, in which Xaa is preferably D-Ala, D-Ser or D-Thr. D-amino acid amides and methyl esters also are hydrolyzed, as is glycine amide.\n\nIt is a dimeric enzyme with each monomer being composed of three domains. Domain B is organised to form a beta barrel made up of eight antiparallel beta strands. It is connected to domain A, the catalytic domain, by an eight-residue sequence, and also interacts with both domains A and C via non-covalent bonds. Domain B probably functions in maintaining domain C in a good position to interact with the catalytic domain. Domain C is organised to form a beta barrel made up of eight antiparallel beta strands. It is connected to domain B by a short linker sequence, and interacts extensively with the domain A, the catalytic domain. The gamma loop of domain C forms part of the wall of the catalytic pocket; domain C is in fact thought to confer substrate and inhibitor specificity to the enzyme.\n\nExternal links\nMEROPS family S12\n\nReferences\n\nCategory:Protein domains\nCategory:EC 3.4.11"

-"North Brookfield Railroad\n\nThe North Brookfield Railroad in central Massachusetts in the United States was a 4.16 mile railroad opened in 1876. It connected North Brookfield to the Boston and Albany main line at East Brookfield. The B&A leased the line from opening until they were in turn leased by the New York Central Railroad in 1900. The NYC merged to form the Penn Central Railroad in 1968. The line was abandoned by Conrail in the 1970s. In the early 2010s, an attempt was made to rebuild the line to service companies in the area.\n\nThe railroad when formed was 90% owned by the town of North Brookfield. Today the right-of-way is 100% owned by the town of North Brookfield.\n\nPassenger service was discontinued on December 31, 1935.

-"Political Education in the People's Republic of China\n\nPolitical education in the People's Republic of China refers to a variety of education methods, some of them coercive or involuntary, whose aim is to have the citizens identify with and support the Chinese Communist Party's policies. The process involves defining political issues, educating people in the policies of the Party, and convincing them of the necessity of a particular political action.\n\nThe intensity of political education has varied depending on the political climate and the target of the education. The most intrusive and thorough is \u201cthought reform,\u201d variously referred to as \"reeducation\" or \"transformation.\" Thought reform often takes place in a tightly controlled environment such as a prison or labor camp, and may involve threats or other coercive measures to convince the target to reshape his or her ideological or political identity. The least intrusive, yet most ubiquitous form of political education is propaganda, which may be conveyed via the media, in political meetings, or through a school curriculum.\n\nHistory \n\nOver a million Muslims are being held in Xinjiang in thought transformation camps.\n\nSee also\nPropaganda in the People's Republic of China\nThought reform in the People's Republic of China\nCensorship"
-"1937 Luxembourg political parties referendum\n\nA referendum on the Order law was held in Luxembourg on 6 June 1937. Voters were asked whether they approved of the new law (loi d'ordre), which would ban any political party that sought to change the constitution or national legislation by violence or threats. The law would result in the dissolution of the Communist Party, and became known as the Maulkuerfgesetz (\"muzzle law\" or loi museli\u00e8re).\n\nThe proposal was rejected by voters, leading to the resignation of Prime Minister Joseph Bech and his replacement by Pierre Dupong.\n\nBackground\nThe law was proposed by the Party of the Right, which had become increasingly authoritarian during the 1930s. Protests against the law were led by the Labour Party, trade unions and young members of the Radical Liberal Party. Believing he had the support of the majority of the public, Bech agreed to a referendum on the law shortly before it was adopted by the Chamber of Deputies by a vote of 34 to 19.\n\nResults\n\nReferences\n\nCategory:Freedom of association\nCategory:Referendums in Luxembourg\nCategory:1937 referendums\nCategory:1937 in Luxembourg\nCategory:Constitution of Luxembourg\nCategory:History of Luxembourg (1890\u20131945)\nCategory:June 1937 events"

-"Shock worker of Communist Labour\n\nThe Shock worker of Communist Labour () was an official title of honour awarded in the Soviet Union to those who displayed exemplary performance in labour discipline (udarniks). It was awarded with a badge and certificate, as well as a cash prize.\n\nThe title of shock worker ('udarnik') had existed at least since the 1930s.\nHowever, its promotion was developed in the 1950s as part of a competition in honour of the XXI Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, to encourage a communist attitude towards work and the creation of the material-technical basis for the development of communism and education towards a communist society. It was also awarded through the Young Communist League.\n\nAccording to Pravda, \"the main feature of the competition for the title of Shock worker of Communist Labour - as stated in the Salutation of the CPSU Union Conference by participants of the foremost competition teams and Shock worker of Communist Labour - is that it is the organically combined struggle, based on the latest science and technology, to achieve the highest productivity and education of the New Man - the master of the country, which is constantly looking"
-"Torquoselectivity\n\nTorquoselectivity is a special kind of stereoselectivity observed in electrocyclic reactions in organic chemistry, defined as \"the preference for inward or outward rotation of substituents in conrotatory\nor disrotatory electrocyclic reactions.\" Torquoselectivity is not to be confused with the normal diastereoselectivity seen in pericyclic reactions, as it represents a further level of selectivity beyond the Woodward-Hoffman rules. The name derives from the idea that the substituents in an electrocyclization appear to rotate over the course of the reaction, and thus selection of a single product is equivalent to selection of one direction of rotation (i.e. the direction of torque on the substituents). The concept was originally developed by Kendall N. Houk.\n\nFor ring closing reactions, it is an example of enantioselectivity, wherein a single enantiomer of a cyclization product is formed from the selective ring closure of the starting material. In a typical electrocyclic ring closing, selection for either conrotatory or disrotatory reactions modes still produces two enantiomers. Torquoselectivity is a discrimination between these possible enantiomers that requires asymmetric induction.\n\nTorquoselectivity is also used to describe selective electrocyclic ring openings, in which different directions of rotation produce distinct structural isomers. In these cases, steric strain is often the driving"

-"Gender paradox\n\nThe gender paradox is a sociolinguistic phenomenon first observed by William Labov, in which \"Women conform more closely than men to sociolinguistic norms that are overtly prescribed, but conform less than men when they are not.\" Specifically, the \"paradox\" arises from sociolinguistic data showing that women are more likely to use prestige forms and avoid stigmatized variants than men for a majority of linguistic variables, but that they are also more likely to lead language change by using innovative forms of variables.\n\nOverview\nWilliam Labov identifies three main principles that, in combination, constitute the gender paradox. They illuminate the juxtaposing roles of women, who display both conformist and nonconformist behavior in the treatment of linguistic variables.\n\nStable linguistic variables\n\nThe first of the three principles states that \"For stable sociolinguistic variables, women show a lower rate of stigmatized variants and a higher rate of prestige variants than men.\" This principle gives the most general understanding of women's treatment of linguistic variables, in that when variables are not undergoing any change, women tend to prefer the standard form of the variable to the non-standard form. It is a commonly occurring phenomenon that sociolinguists have observed in a wide array"
-"Grawemeyer Award (Music Composition)\n\nThe Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition () is an annual prize instituted by Henry Charles Grawemeyer, industrialist and entrepreneur, at the University of Louisville in 1984. The award was first given in 1985. Subsequently, the Grawemeyer Award was expanded to other categories: Ideas Improving World Order (instituted in 1988), Education (1989), Religion (1990) and Psychology (2000). The prize fund was initially an endowment of US$9\u00a0million from the Grawemeyer Foundation. The initial awards were for $150\u00a0000 each, increasing to $200\u00a0000 for the year 2000 awards. After the economic crash of 2008, the prize was reduced to $100,000.\n\nThe selection process includes three panels of judges. The first is a panel of faculty from the University of Louisville, who hosts and maintains the perpetuity of the award. The second is a panel of music professionals, often involving conductors, performers, and composers (most frequently the previous winner). The final decision is made by a lay committee of new music enthusiasts who are highly knowledgeable about the state of new music. This final committee of amateurs makes the final prize determination because Grawemeyer insisted that great ideas are not exclusively the domain of academic experts.\n\nThe award"

This compound has applications in photonic devices, due to the ability to tailor its band gap via changes in the alloy mole ratios, x and y.\n\nIndium phosphide-based photonic integrated circuits, or PICs, commonly use alloys of x1\u2212xy1\u2212y to construct quantum wells, waveguides and other photonic structures, lattice matched to an InP substrate, enabling single-crystal epitaxial growth onto InP.\n\nMany devices operating in the near-infrared 1.55\u00a0\u03bcm wavelength window utilize this alloy, and are employed as optical components (such as laser transmitters, photodetectors and modulators) in C-band communications systems.\n\nSee also\n Gallium arsenide\n Gallium phosphide\n Indium gallium phosphide\n Aluminium gallium arsenide phosphide\n Gallium indium arsenide antimonide phosphide\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links \n http://www.ioffe.ru/SVA/NSM/Semicond/GaInAsP/\n\nCategory:III-V semiconductors"

Towering above it is Rois-bheinn, the highest hill in the area.\n\nHistory\n\nHistorically, the hamlet was named Irin. Ranald Macdonald, younger brother of Donald Macdonald 4th of Kinlochmoidart, was granted the tack of Irin from Clanranald in 1749. According to the 1841 census, the main house by the burn was occupied by a Mary Anderson, originally from Kinlochailort. In 1854, Jemima Blackburn, an artist, and her husband, Hugh Blackburn, Professor of mathematics at Glasgow University, bought the Roshven Estate, presumably from Anderson. Blackburn was noted for capturing the area's scenery, flora and fauna in her nationally famous illustrations. She was particularly adept at painting birds and flowers. Roshven Estate covered some 4500 acres. They subsequently renovated the Georgian house in the hamlet. Their homes in Glasgow and at Roshven became a focus for visits from some of the most celebrated figures of the century including John Ruskin, Sir John Everet Millais, Anthony Trollope, the Duke of Argyll, Benjamin Disraeli, Lord Lister, Professor Helmholtz, Lord Kelvin and James Clerk-Maxwell, Jemima's first cousin.\n\nOn 12 January 1894, around 11.50"

-"Planocraniidae\n\nPlanocraniidae is an extinct family of basal crocodylians known from the Paleogene of Asia, Europe and North America. The family was coined by Li in 1976, and contains two genera, Boverisuchus and Planocrania. Planocraniids were highly specialized crocodylians that were adapted to living on land. They have extensive body armor, long legs, and blunt claws resembling hooves, and are sometimes informally called \"hoofed crocodiles\". Most phylogenetic analyses (analyses of evolutionary relationships) place planocraniids in a basal position within Crocodylia. Some of these analyses find that planocraniids lie just outside Brevirostres, the group of crocodilians that includes alligators, caimans, and crocodiles but not gharials. Planocraniids are inferred to have first appeared in the Late Cretaceous, several tens of millions of years before they actually occur in the fossil record. This is because the earliest members of Brevirostres appear in the Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous, and Planocraniidae, being an outgroup to Brevirostres, must have branched off before this time.\n\nPristichampsidae\nPrior to 2013 the term Pristichampsidae/Pristichampsinae was used for this group.

-"Thurbrand the Hold\n\nThurbrand (; fl. 1010s), nicknamed \"the Hold\", was a Northumbrian magnate in the early 11th-century. Perhaps based in Holderness and East Yorkshire, Thurbrand was recorded as the killer of Uhtred the Bold, Earl of Northumbria. The killing appears to have been part of the war between Sweyn Forkbeard and Cnut the Great against the English king \u00c6thelred the Unready, Uhtred being the latter's chief Northumbrian supporter. Thurbrand may also have attested a charter of 1009 and given a horse to \u00c6thelred's son \u00c6thelstan \u00c6theling. The killing is the first known act, if it did not initiate, a bloodfeud between Thurbrand's family and Uhtred going into the time of Earl Waltheof.

This was an issue for programming, as code editors use syntax highlighting, where color is used to indicate the different parts of the code.\n\nInitially, Schoonover attempted to modify the colors of another scheme called Zenburn, but was daunted by its implementation in Vim script and didn't agree with some of its design decisions. Schoonover took six\u00a0months in order to research and create Solarized, with the goal of applying \"design rigor\".

-"Endonuclease V\n\n.\n\nEndonuclease V (endoV) is a highly conserved endonuclease enzyme family. The primary function of endoV differs significantly in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, as suggested by studies on the E. coli and human orthologs. In prokaryotes endoV is primarily a deoxyribonuclease involved in DNA repair of deoxyinosine introduced into the genome by deamidation of adenine bases. However, it has broad substrate specificity and can also act on other types of DNA lesions as well as on inosine-containing RNA.\n\nIn eukaryotes endoV is primarily a ribonuclease and cleaves single-stranded RNA at the 3' position relative to an inosine base, which may be present due to RNA editing by deaminase enzymes. The human endoV localizes to the cytoplasm and nucleoli, suggesting a possible role in processes involving ribosomal RNA.\n\nReferences \n\nCategory:Ribonucleases\nCategory:EC 3.1.21"

-"Aminoacyl-tRNA\n\nAminoacyl-tRNA (also aa-tRNA or charged tRNA) is tRNA to which its cognates amino acid is chemically bonded (charged). The aa-tRNA, along with some elongation factors, deliver the amino acid to the ribosome for incorporation into the polypeptide chain that is being produced. A specific cognate amino acid is charged or aminoacylated to each tRNA by aminoacyl tRNA synthetase. This matching is crucial, since it ensures that only the particular amino acid matching the anticodon of the tRNA, and in turn matching the codon of the mRNA, is used in protein synthesis.\n\nDue to the degeneracy of the genetic code, multiple tRNAs will have the same amino acid but different codons. These different tRNAs are called isoacceptors. Under certain circumstances, non-cognate amino acids will be charged, resulting in mischarged or misaminoacylated tRNA. These mischarged tRNAs must be hydrolyzed in order to prevent incorrect protein synthesis.\n\nSynthesis\nAminoacyl-tRNA is produced in two steps. First is the adenylation of the amino acid, which forms aminoacyl-AMP:\namino acid + ATP \u2194 aminoacyl-AMP + PPi\n\nSecond, the amino acid residue is transferred to the tRNA:\naminoacyl-AMP + tRNA \u2194 aminoacyl-tRNA + AMP\n\nThe net reaction is:\namino acid + ATP + tRNA \u2194 aminoacyl-tRNA"

-"Hanton City, Rhode Island\n\nHanton City (known locally as Lost City) is a colonial-era ghost town in Smithfield, Rhode Island. The remains of Hanton City consist of several stone foundations, a burial site, a defunct dam apparently used for irrigation, and a dilapidated scattering of stone walls, typifying it as a standard small New England farming community. The entire site is completely overgrown, making it nearly impossible to locate when any vegetation is present.\n\nTheories of its existence\n\nAt the time of its habitation, the small settlement was extremely isolated from the main town of Smithfield, and several theories have been posited in regards to its existence. One theory is that those who founded Hanton City were Loyalists, colonists who remained loyal to the king of England during the American Revolution. The theory leaves it unclear whether they were forced to live in exile by the Rhode Island Patriots or whether they chose to form an enclave of like-minded people. Several Tories from Newport were exiled to Smithfield and Glocester in 1776, including Thomas Vernon whose diary was published.\n\nThe small Alfred Smith Cemetery is located in the area.\n\nReferences\n\nCategory:Ghost towns in Rhode Island\nCategory:Populated places in Providence County,"

-"Elenctics\n\nElenctics, in Christianity, is a division of practical theology concerned with persuading people of other faiths (or no faith) of the truth of the Gospel message, with an end to producing in them an awareness of, and sense of guilt for, their sins, a recognition of their need for God's forgiveness, repentance (i.e. the disposition to turn away from their sin) and faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.\n\nJohan Herman Bavinck (1964:221) explains that:\nThe term \"elenctic\" is derived from the Greek verb elengchein. In Homer the verb has the meaning of \"to bring to shame.\" it is connected with the word elengchos that signifies shame. In later Attic Greek the significance of the term underwent a certain change so that the emphasis fell more upon the conviction of guilt, the demonstration of guilt. It is this latter significance that it has in the New Testament. Its meaning is entirely ethical and religious.\n\nPerhaps the most famous example of specifically elenctic literature in the history of Christianity is St. Thomas Aquinas' great work, Summa Contra Gentiles.\n\nSee also\n Francis Turretin \u2013 a Swiss-Italian Reformed scholastic theologian who wrote Institutio Theologiae Elencticae.\n\nNote: Elenctics is not distinctly Christian"

-"Bay Ganyo\n\nBay Ganyo (, ; also transliterated as Bai Ganio or Baj Ganjo) is a fictional character created by Bulgarian author Aleko Konstantinov (1863\u20131897). He is at present considered an exemplary image of an anti-hero: uneducated, ignorant, egoistic and poor villager. Sometimes perceived as a stereotype of the uneducated, profit-driven Bulgarian and indeed the average Balkan person, he is often seen merely as a social stereotype, a member of the Principality of Bulgaria's newly formed lower middle-class.\n\nThe archetype of the fictional character was inspired by Ganyo Somov, a rose trader from Enina (a village in the Kazanlak municipality). At the international fair in Chicago in 1893, Aleko Konstantinov met Ganyo Somov and used him to create one of the most famous Bulgarian literature characters.\n\nBay is a Bulgarian honorary title to refer to older or more influential persons: the character's first name is Ganyo, and his family name has been attested as either Ganyo Somov or Ganyo Balkanski. Bay Ganyo is the protagonist of a novel-like series of satirical feuilletons by Aleko Konstantinov.

Although the seat had historically been a comfortably safe Labor seat, vote-splitting between Ward and the official Labor candidate allowed Clasby to win when just over half of the official Labor candidate's preferences flowed to him. Having never fully recovered from his war injuries, Clasby's health suffered from the strenuous election campaign, and he died just a month later, at age 40,"

During the Civil War, the party was one of the few left wing actors to reject the idea of women on the front, believing women instead should take care of the home.\n\nSocialists continued to have a fraught relationship with feminism during the post-war early Franco period with 10% female membership, and Partido Comunista Espa\u00f1ola (PCE) overtook PSOE in importance as the dominant left wing group in the Spanish interior. Most of the prominent socialists leaders and many women in PSOE fled to exile abroad. Those who remained were subject to severe repression. Many were imprisoned. Some were executed. During the 1940s, PSOE's interior activities were clandestine. Toulouse would become the home of leadership on the exterior, with exile women in France and Mexico playing important exterior roles.

But he discovers that because human choices tend to be mechanical, changing the outcome of one's actions is extremely difficult. He realizes that without help breaking his mechanical behavior, he may be doomed to repeat the same mistakes forever."

It was founded in January 1996 primarily as a way to advance the interests of a wide variety of indigenous peoples' organizations throughout Ecuador. In the context of Ecuador's indigenous movement, Pachakutik emerged after successful civil society mobilizations by large indigenous organizations such as CONAIE and CONFENAIE. Despite being backed by CONAIE and the workers' Social Movement Cooperation, the party is not affiliated with the organizations, as its official purpose was to serve as an alternative to the traditional cluster of political parties that had ruled Ecuadorian politics. The party has been a topic of controversy among indigenous peoples throughout Ecuador because of its nature as a political party, and many indigenous people are unwilling to recognize it as representing their interests because they feel that the party has compromised too many indigenous demands in order to participate in the political process.\n\nPachakutik participated in the presidential elections of 1996 despite having only been formed a few months beforehand.

-"X-ray crystal truncation rod\n\nX-ray crystal truncation rod scattering is a powerful method in surface science, based on analysis of surface X-ray diffraction (SXRD) patterns from a crystalline surface. \n\nFor an infinite crystal, the diffracted pattern is concentrated in Dirac delta function like Bragg peaks. Presence of crystalline surfaces results in additional structure along so-called truncation rods (linear regions in momentum space normal to the surface).

It is a myth that the trunk is a means by which the palm stores water. Bottle palms have only four to six leaves open at any time.

-"Anna Rosmus\n\nAnna Rosmus, also known as Anja Rosmus-Wenninger, is a German author and researcher born in 1960 in Passau, Bavaria.\n\nEarly life and research \n\nAs a 16-year-old, Rosmus started developing an interest in contemporary history, especially that of the Third Reich, a subject that was barely mentioned at school. Encouraged by her father, a principal, she participated in a national essay contest that addressed the history of her city during the pre-war years. Some prominent residents claimed that the community remained untouched by the war and others praised themselves for their alleged political resistance against the dictatorship. Rosmus uncovered newspaper clippings and other archival material showing that local leaders and members of the town's prominent families, had not only been compliant but were active members of the Nazi Party long before the war, and had helped to round up the town's roughly 400 Jews to send to concentration camps. Her essay, \"My Hometown During the Third Reich\", won a prize.\n\nRosmus' efforts were not welcomed by many inhabitants but at the age of 20, she continued with her research. Upon further questioning of some of Passau's elders, Rosmus found a conspiracy of silence and refusal to provide information. After"
