title: Shepherd Parkway

text:
Shepherd Parkway is part of the Civil War Defenses of Washington. It includes two forts (Forts Greble and Carroll), of which some remains still exist. The parkway runs along the high ground opposite the Anacostia Freeway (Interstate 295) from Joint Base Anacostia–Bolling in the District of Columbia.  Shepherd Parkway is bordered on the north by St. Elizabeths Campus and the District of Columbia neighborhoods of Congress Heights and Bellevue and on the south (near Oxon Run) by Bald Eagle Hill.

History

The National Capital Parks and Planning Commission began acquiring land in 1927 for a parkway, Fort Drive, to connect a ring of parks made up of Civil War defenses around the city. Shepherd Parkway was the first land acquired; although the parkway was never completed, the land remains urban open space.

Alexander Robey Shepherd was Washington's second governor. A native Washingtonian and veteran of the Civil War, he was successful in the plumbing and gas-fitting industries.
As governor, he paved roads in the city and developed a sewage system. Shepherd Parkway may have been named for Shepherd, who encouraged the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to extend a line through Giesborough south over the Potomac River to Alexandria, Virginia.

Civil War
At the beginning of the American Civil War in 1861, George Washington Young offered to sell his land to the government for $100,000. Although his offer was declined, the Union army rented the land for $6,000 per year. The following year, Young freed his slaves when the DC Compensated Emancipation Law was enacted.

Sixty-eight fortifications were built to defend Washington (the Union Army headquarters) from Confederate attack. Shepherd Parkway was used for fortifications, military roads, the Camp Stoneman cavalry camp (named for Cavalry Bureau chief George Stoneman) and hospitals (Saint Elizabeth and another, near Fort Carroll).

Fort Carroll, named for West Point graduate Samuel Sprigg Carroll, was established on the ridge southeast of Giesboro Point. The large fort, a headquarters for soldiers east of the Anacostia River, was built to protect the cavalry depot and the Washington Arsenal and Navy Yard. With a capacity of more than 30,000 horses, Fort Carroll had hospital and administration buildings and barracks.

Fort Greble was named for John T. Greble, who was killed in the June 10, 1861 Battle of Big Bethel. The fort, at the southern end of the Shepherd Parkway ridge, protected the Potomac (including the ravines along Oxen Run and Piscataway Road, now Martin Luther King Avenue). Both forts were used for training.

Fugitive slaves, considered "contraband of war" and living in nearby camps, helped build and maintain the forts. After the enactment of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which outlawed slavery, many remained nearby and by the end of the century the area had a number of African-American communities.

1866 to 1900
At the end of the war, the Freedmen's Bureau purchased the Barry farm north of St. Elizabeths Hospital and divided the land into  lots. The area remained farmland, and the lots were sold to former slaves; within two years, 500 families owned property.

The government decommissioned the cavalry camp, returning the Giesborough land to George Washington Young. Young could not sell his buildings and property, and after his 1867 death his heirs gradually sold the property. A river resort, Buena Vista, was established at Giesborough Point and Fort Carroll was transferred to the Signal Corps. Fort Greble was demolished and its building materials sold at auction.

The city's population had doubled during the war, and its infrastructure was strained. In 1871 Pierre L'Enfant's plan was still in its infancy, and many politicians wanted to move the nation's capital west. The District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871 repealed the individual charters of Georgetown and the city of Washington, combining them with Washington County in a new charter—the first step towards district government.

Early 20th century
Senator James McMillan of Michigan saw a need for improvements in the city, and the McMillan Plan was created to develop a system of parks in the district (including a parkway connecting the forts). On April 11, 1927, the National Capital Parks and Planning Commission acquired Shepherd Parkway as its first property for  its proposed Fort Drive. The plan became a casualty of the Great Depression until 1933, when the New Deal turned most public green space to the National Park Service. The parkway was never constructed, and the land was used for anti-aircraft artillery and military barracks.

Present day
Today, Shepherd Parkway is  of mature trees along the ridge. It has no marked or maintained trails, picnic areas or playgrounds. Until recently the parkway was neglected, with trash and invasive species, but community organizations are attempting to clean and restore it. Shepherd Parkway and Forts Carroll and Greble are administered by National Capital Parks-East.

title: YSFlight

text:
YSFlight is a free, open-source multi-platform flight simulator, developed and published by Soji Yamakawa since 1999. Since its initial release, it has received annual updates, with the most recent stable version released in 2018.

History
Development of YSFlight began in 1998 as a solo project by Soji Yamakawa. He first started working on the simulator as a school project; afterwards, it was further developed into a flight aid for others who need assistance in understanding aircraft flight instrumentation and flight physics. Initially designed to be run by lower-end computers, the flight simulator began to implement more updated graphical features with its 2015 release.

On August 19, 2022, Yamakawa published YSFlight's source code and assets to GitHub under the BSD-3-Clause license, while stating that he intends to continue the simulator's development.

Features
YSFlight differs from other simulators, such as the Microsoft Flight Simulator series, in its intentionally low-detail graphical design. This allows the simulator to be run by lower-end computers, with system requirements being much less than most other flight simulators.

It allows for to YSFlight clients to join a multiplayer server.

The simulator comes with a selection of 73 aircraft models and 16 maps, which range from real life locations (including the default map, a depiction of Japan's Aomori Prefecture) to fictitious maps.

title: James Grieve (footballer)

text:
James Purvis Grieve (19 January 1908 – 1995) was an English professional footballer who scored 13 goals from 29 appearances in the Football League playing as a centre forward for Darlington in the 1930s. He joined Darlington from non-league club Wallsend, and went on to play non-league football for Annfield Plain.

Life and career
James Purvis Grieve was born on 19 January 1908 in Walkergate, Northumberland. He played football for North-Eastern League club Wallsend before joining Darlington of the Football League Third Division North in 1931. He played for Darlington's reserve team in the North-Eastern League before making his Football League debut on 24 October 1931 away to Carlisle United, standing in for the injured Maurice Wellock. Darlington won 2–0, Grieve scored both goals, and he caught the eye of the Lancashire Evening Post by his "pushfulness and sense of leadership". Wellock resumed his place after two matches out, but when Grieve was brought in for an FA Cup tie against Carlisle in December, this time alongside Wellock, who moved to inside right to accommodate Grieve at centre forward, he scored again, and scored another in the next league match.

In the second half of the season Grieve took over as first choice at centre forward, and contributed a further ten goals from 20 matches, including a hat-trick in a 6–3 win against local rivals Hartlepools United in which "Wellock, Grieve, and Coates shot at every conceivable opportunity, on the half turn, the volley, the half-volley, and on occasions when their backs were turned to the goal". Darlington finished 11th in the table. He accepted terms for a second season, but an attempt to convert him to outside left was unsuccessful: he played little and without scoring, and was given a free transfer.

He then returned to North-Eastern League football with Annfield Plain, where he flourished. In November 1934, he turned down an offer from the FA Cup-holders, Manchester City, preferring to keep his job in Newcastle with the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), and he stayed with Annfield Plain until 1939. The 1939 Register shows the unmarried Grieve working as a labourer for the LNER and living in Shields Road, Newcastle, with his parents and four younger siblings. His death at the age of 87 was registered in Newcastle in June 1995.

The 1990 United States Senate election in Louisiana was held on October 6, 1990. In a nonpartisan blanket primary, incumbent Democrat J. Bennett Johnston won reelection to a fourth term, avoiding a runoff on November 6, 1990 by receiving 54% of the vote. Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke placed second, as the leading Republican challenger.

The involvement of Duke introduced unusual party dynamics to the race. Weeks before the election, several nationally prominent Republicans endorsed Johnston, and trailing Republican challenger Ben Bagert dropped out, saying that he would "reluctantly" vote for the leading Democratic candidate, hoping to avoid a run-off with Duke as the sole Republican.

Candidates

Democratic
 J. Bennett Johnston, incumbent U.S. Senator
 Nick Joseph Accardo
 Larry Crowe

Republican

Declared
 David Duke, State Representative and former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan

Withdrew
 Ben Bagert, State Senator

Campaign
This election was viewed at the onset as potentially competitive, as incumbent U.S. Senator Johnston was viewed as vulnerable in light of Louisiana's economic troubles at the time and Johnston's voting record viewed by Republicans as too liberal. The Republican Party leadership endorsed the candidacy of State Senator Ben Bagert, who was picked over Secretary of State W. Fox McKeithen, State Representative Quentin Dastugue and State Representative David Duke. David Duke, however, continued his candidacy and slowly overtook Bagert in attention and in the polls.  Duke attracted national attention to the race due to his involvement with white supremacist groups and his appeals to white resentment over affirmative-action programs. With Bagert failing to gain traction, the National Republican Senatorial Committee tried to recruit former Governor David Treen to enter the race. When Treen passed, the effort turned from supporting Bagert to stopping Duke.

As the election drew near, polls showed Johnston firmly in first place, with Duke in second place and Bagert trailing far behind at third. National Republicans grew fearful that Bagert's candidacy would only serve to force a runoff and that a potential runoff election with Duke being the de facto Republican nominee would hurt the national brand. On October 4, eight Republican U.S. Senators instead endorsed Johnston, with U.S. Senator John Danforth saying at the press conference that "all of us would be embarrassed and mortified to have to serve in the United States Senate with David Duke masquerading as a Republican." Bagert dropped out of the race the next day, announcing that "it became more and more apparent, that instead of forcing a runoff between myself and Bennett Johnston, I might very well be forcing a runoff between somebody else and Bennett Johnston." He announced he would "reluctantly" vote for Johnston. Bagert's name remained on the ballot, but under state law his votes could not be counted as part of the official tally.  After Bagert dropped out, HUD Secretary Jack Kemp endorsed Johnston, saying "there's no place in the Republican Party for someone who has practiced and practices racism, bigotry and anti-Semitism."

It was heard at Charleroi; and General Zieten the commander of the Prussian I Corps, who, by the reports which he forwarded on 14 June to Prince Blücher and the Duke of Wellington, had fully prepared these commanders to expect an attack, lost no time in communicating to them the important fact, that hostilities had actually commenced.

title: Led Zeppelin Deluxe Edition

text:
The Led Zeppelin Deluxe Edition is a series of albums reissued by English rock group Led Zeppelin, distributed by Atlantic Records. It contains all nine of the original Led Zeppelin studio albums remastered from the original analog tapes. Along with the remastered albums, there is a companion disc with each album, consisting of previously unreleased audio tracks and alternate mixes of released tracks. Many of these are described as work-in-progress or alternate mixes made during the original production rather than new remixes generated to highlight discarded recording elements (as did the remixes made for The Beatles Anthology).  The first companion album consists of the 10 October 1969 concert in Paris. The albums were released in chronological order, each with inverted album covers.

The first wave of albums, Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin II, and Led Zeppelin III, was released on 2 June 2014. The second wave of albums, Led Zeppelin IV and Houses of the Holy, was released on 27 October 2014. Physical Graffiti was released on 23 February 2015, almost exactly forty years to the day after the original release. The fourth and final wave of albums, Presence, In Through the Out Door, and Coda, was released on 31 July 2015.

title: Thomas Latham (cricketer)

text:
Thomas Latham (22 June 1847 – 13 January 1926) was an English barrister and cricketer who played first-class cricket for Cambridge University and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in 1873 and 1874. He was born in St Pancras, London, the son of Henry Latham, a Chancery registrar, and died at Folkestone, Kent.

As a cricketer, Latham was a middle-order right-handed batsman. After non-first-class trials matches in 1872, he played fairly regularly in first-team matches for Cambridge University in 1873, and he was picked for the University Match against Oxford University, in which he scored 0 and 48 in a match that Cambridge lost narrowly. The 48 was Latham's highest score in first-class cricket. In 1874 he played for MCC against Cambridge University in the university's match immediately before the University Match, and then was picked for his second game against Oxford; this time, he was less successful with innings of 1 and 4, and Cambridge lost the game by an innings. It was Latham's last appearance in first-class cricket, though he appeared in minor matches for amateur teams to the mid-1880s.

title: Bloody Letter

text:
The Bloody Letter () is a letter written by Bulgarian revolutionary Todor Kableshkov which is symbolically accepted to be the start of the anti-Ottoman April Uprising of 1876.

Kableshkov writes this letter upon proclaiming the revolt in his home city of Koprivshtitsa and addresses it to the revolutionary committee of Panagyurishte and specifically to Georgi Benkovski. The letter's name comes from the fact that it is signed with the blood of a local Ottoman governor (müdür), shortly after he was killed by revolutionary Georgi Tihanek. It was transported by 19-year-old Georgi Salchev for a record time of 2 hours, having his horse passing out just before reaching Panagyurishte because of the strain.

According to Memoirs of the Bulgarian Uprisings by Zahari Stoyanov, the letter's contents were:

Brothers!

Yesterday Neceb Aga arrived in our village from Plovdiv, and asked to imprison some people, including me. When I heard about your decision, made at the Council of Oborishte, I called up some brave men and after we got armed, we headed towards the konak and attacked it, killing the müdür and some policemen... Now, as I am writing this letter, the flag is waving before the konak, rifles shoot and the church bells echo simultaneously with them, men are kissing one another on the streets... If you, brothers, happen to be true patriots and apostles of Freedom, then do follow our example in Panagyurishte...

Koprivshtitsa, 20th April (old style) 1876
T. Kableshkov

I was witness as all events mentioned above in Todor's letter happened. Leaving for Klisura, to do the same.

N. Karadzhov

title: Boys in the Band (album)

text:
Boys in the Band is a studio album by Long John Baldry released in late 1980 but recorded in 1974 for ABC Records.

Background
This album was released by Quality Records in Canada to capitalize on the success of Baldry's Out! The material was recorded in the mid −70s, and producer Billy Russell replaced Tom Brown's vocals with Baldry's vocals.(Saxophonist Tom Brown
wrote the title track "Boys in the Band" and the lead track "Crazy Lady") More than likely, Baldry agreed to this in an attempt to secure a record deal. The material is album-oriented rock highlighted by the title song and the work of Baldry's guitarist Alan Murphy, who later worked with Kate Bush. Not available on CD.

Although the album was not released until early 1980 two tracks had appeared on a single from ABC records (ABC 4016) in November 1974. LJB released the single under the name – John Baldry Barracuda. The single features "Crazy Lady" as its A-side and "End of Another Day" as the B-side.

Boys in the Band is one of the more obscure Baldry releases that is very rarely seen in discographies. It was made available for digital download in 2010 by Minder Records.

The album was not promoted with a tour and none of the material has ever appeared on live recordings. In 1974 however LJB did record the track "Let’s See What Love Can Do" in a club during a concert that was filmed as part of the documentary – The Gospel According to Long John. This is the only known time anything from Boys in the Band was played live. This may have been due to the fact ABC were set to release the album or more singles and LJB was slowly introducing the material into his repertoire. During a British tour in 1974 many of the tracks were performed along with Baldry's repertoire of classic blues. An album was scheduled to be recorded in Reyjkavik and the band flew with John to Iceland. However, Baldry became ill mainly due to his morbid fear of flying and he returned to London to recover. The band carried on recording without him. The resulting tracks formed the titled Delta Blues album, with vocals contributed by the backing singers The Blues Choir. It was only released in Benelux and copies are rare.

title: Scott Slapin

text:
Scott Slapin (born 1974) is an American composer and violist.

Career
Slapin has written more than sixty viola-centric chamber works and was commissioned to write the required piece for the 2008 Primrose International Viola Competition. He served on the committee for the first Maurice Gardner Composition Competition and co-premiered the winning work, Rachel Matthews' Dreams, at the 38th International Viola Congress. At the age of eighteen he was performing daily as the solo violist in the New York City production of Gerald Busby's Orpheus In Love, a chamber opera about Orpheus recast as a viola player. He was subsequently invited to premiere Busby's Muse for Solo Viola in Carnegie's Weill Hall, and he gave countless solo recitals and performed with ensembles throughout the United States and South America. Slapin has written extensively for the Penn State Viola Ensemble and the Wistaria String Quartet, and he is a former fellow at the Montalvo Arts Center in California. He can be heard playing solo Bach, Paganini Caprices, and his own compositions on various soundtracks for film and TV. Slapin performs and records with his wife, Tanya Solomon, also a violist. They won 'Best Chamber Performance of 2008' at the Tribute to the Classical Arts in New Orleans, and they have premiered and recorded duos by Gerald Busby, Robert Cobert, Richard Lane, Rachel Matthews, Patrick Neher, Frank Proto and David Rimelis, among others. Slapin plays a viola built by Hiroshi Iizuka.

Recordings
To date, there have been nine recordings of Slapin's chamber music made by the Wistaria String Quartet, the Penn State Viola Ensemble, the American Viola Quartet, and the Slapin-Solomon Viola Duo. Slapin was the first person to record the complete cycle of Bach's Sonatas and Partitas (originally for violin) on viola, a set which he rerecorded in 2006. He has premiered and recorded many 20th and 21st Century recital works featuring the viola, and he is the featured soloist on the first album produced by the American Viola Society. His 2008 recording, Paganini's 24 Caprices, marked the first time Paganini's 24 Caprices had been recorded on a viola in standard tuning since Emanuel Vardi in 1965. After more than a decade of performing together as members of several orchestras, Slapin and Solomon transcribed for viola duo some of the symphonic repertoire's best-known works and in 2017 made an unprecedented two-viola recording of four of them: Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries, Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, Rossini's Overture to the Barber of Seville, as well as an unabridged version of all four movements of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.

Education
Slapin graduated at the age of eighteen from the Manhattan School of Music, where he studied with Emanuel Vardi., In memory of Vardi, he wrote 'Capricious', a viola trio which references several of Paganini's Caprices. Slapin's Nocturne is dedicated to his composition teacher and mentor Richard Lane and can be heard, along with Slapin's Elegy-Caprice, in the final scenes of the American docudrama Secret Life, Secret Death. Slapin performed his Trauermusik at the memorial concert for his first violin and viola teacher, Barbara Barstow.

title: Talib al-Naqib

text:
Talib Pasha bin Rajab Al-Naqib Al-Refa'i () was an Iraqi politician, who became the first Minister of Interior in Iraq.

Family

He was a descendant of Husayn ibn Ali, a grandson of Muhammad The al-Naqib family comes from the city of Mandali, where Talib (the great-grandfather) emigrated with his two sons, Muhammad Sa'eed and Abdul Rahman, to Basra between 1811 and 1814. Other sources say that they lived in Mecca, but the Abbasid Caliph, Al-Qa'im Bi-Amrillah, brought them to be the Sheikhs of Nobles of Basra.

After the death of Talib his son Abdul Rahman inherited the sheikdom in 1874 and then, Muhammad Sa'eed, who became the vice-chairman of the properties of Sultan Abdul Hamid II. When Muhammad Sa'eed got old, he made his son, Rajab, the vice-chairman of the sultan's properties. After the death of Muhammad Sa'eed in 1896, Rajab became the Sheikh of Nobles. He intimidated the Valis of Basra. People called him Robin Hood.

Most of the al-Naqib family moved to Kuwait around 1900 and became famous there.

Early life
In 1899, Rajab sent his son, Talib, to Istanbul, to solve the problems between the first ruler of Kuwait, Mubarak Al-Sabah and the Vali of Basra, Hamdi Pasha, about the 1899 treaty between the United Kingdom and Kuwait, and he succeeded. After that, Hamdi Pasha was deposed, replacing him with Muhsin Pasha. Talib also solved the problem between the Sheikh of Mohammerah, Khaz'al al-Ka'bi and the Ottoman Empire, about Khaz'al's properties in Basra. He donated some of his money to the Ottomans during their conflicts with the Principality of Bulgaria, and for that, he was given the special rank of Mermaran, by Sultan Abdul Hamid II, in 1895.

Governor of Al-Hasa
In 1901, al-Naqib was set as the governor of al-Hasa in Najd, after the tribe of Banu Hajar attacked a governmental caravan and stole a value of a million rupees from it; because the leaders of the tribe requested their salary, but the government didn't reply to them. al-Naqib ordered to raid a military camp of Al Murrah, who were responsible for the caravan attack, and took away their money and animals and put it on sale in Al Hufuf and finally, he ordered the other tribes to cut their deals with them, so the other tribes could take them as an example. He accomplished his mission of suppressing the tribal movements and restore peace and was given the special rank of Bala.

In 1903, Mansour bin Jum'a al-Kawakibi, a merchant from Al-Qatif, sent a letter to Sultan Abdul Hamid II, telling him about what happened between him and al-Naqib:

After a few days, al-Naqib was sacked from his job.

Ottoman politician
In 1903, al-Naqib returned to Istanbul to work in the civil department of the state consultative council until restoring the constitutional monarchy. He was elected in the first term, in the 1908 Ottoman general election, as a representative of Basra in the Ottoman Parliament, before re-electing him in the 1912 elections and the 1914 elections.

In 1909, he created the Free And Neutral Party. He, with the cooperation of Khaz'al al-Ka'bi and Mubarak Al-Sabah, also created a branch of the Freedom and Coalition Party in Basra, on August 6, 1911. The Constitution newspaper was the speaker of the party, which published its first issue on January 9, 1912. In the 1912 elections, the Freedom and Coalition party won two seats in the parliament. Because of the decentralized governance in the Ottoman Empire, after they clashed with the Arab political and cultural assemblies, al-Naqib canceled his party's branch in Basra, Because of his Arab nationalism beliefs. Ottomans tried to assassinate him via Fareed Bey and Nouri Bey, but al-Naqib prepared a number of armed insurgents that killed them first.

He created the Reformist Assembly of Basra, which called for creating local councils for the Arab Vilayets, including the Basra Vilayet. Ottomans wanted to keep him away from politics, so, he was made the Vali of Basra in 1913, for a very short period. In the 1914 elections, al-Naqib increased his party's seats in the parliament by four, having 6 seats, which made him more confident to demand the rights of the Arabs.

British mandate

When the British troops arrived at Basra, in 1914, al-Naqib was captured and exiled to Bombay (Mumbai); because of his objection on the British occupation. He stayed in his exile for five years, before coming back to Iraq and witnessing the 1920 Iraqi revolt. He didn't approve of the revolt; because he believed that political situations should be solved by peaceful solutions. He also believed that the best solution is to occupy Iraq into Vilayets, just like the Ottomans did.

He was hoping to rule Basra or to rule Iraq. Therefore, he was against Faisal I, being the King of Iraq, with Khaz'al al-Ka'bi and Arnold Wilson supporting al-Naqib. But his fame decreased when Percy Cox became the British high commissioner of Iraq. al-Naqib was appointed as the minister of interior in Abd Al-Rahman Al-Gillani's acting government, but al-Naqib refused the office; because he thought that such secondary office would degrade his dignity, but he was convinced by Gertrude Bell and St John Philby as long as he would be the second man, after Al-Gillani.

When al-Naqib wasn't invited to the Cairo Conference, in 1921, he objected and threatened to make a rebellion, cooperating with the tribal leaders. So, he made a campaign tour in southern Iraq and the middle Euphrates region. He made a banquet, celebrating Perceval Landon with some tribal leaders. He stood in the banquet and said: "We don't like the people in the house of the mandate, because they are interfering in the nation's matters, which its people have the only right to order and own anything they want in it." This statement was copied from a person who attended the banquet, called Tod, to the secretary of the British accreditation house in Iraq, Gertrude Bell. Bell checked the facts with foreign dignitaries, present at the event, and told Sir Cox about it, which led Lady Cox to invite al-Naqib for tea, on 16 April 1921. As he left Sir Percy had him arrested and exiled him to Ceylon. St John Philby was set as the new minister of interior. After returning from exile, al-Naqib decided to retire from political work and avoid meeting any governmental person. He refused to meet King Faisal when he wanted to visit him, but after some interference, they met in 1925, and cleared the problems between them.

Death
Al-Naqib had health problems and traveled to Munich for surgery, during which he died on July 16, 1929.

Vasily Ivanovich Sternberg (Ukrainian: Василь Іванович Штернберґ, Russian: Василий Иванович Штернберг; (12 February 1818, Saint Petersburg - 8 September 1845, Rome) was a Russian and Ukrainian landscape and genre painter.

Biography
His father was a mining official. He began by auditing classes at the Imperial Academy of Arts and became a full student in 1835, studying landscape painting with Maxim Vorobiev. In addition to his formal works, he was known for his delightful drawings and caricatures.

Summers were spent at the home of his patron in a region of the Ukraine known as "Little Russia". Many of his best-known works were inspired by what he saw there. Some of his works were purchased by Tsar Nicholas I as gifts for the Tsar's family. He was honored with the title of "Artist Class XIV".

From 1839 to 1840, he served in the expeditionary force to Khiva, led by General Vasily Alekseevich Perovsky. Following that, he received a fellowship from the Academy to work in Rome. He died there five years later, aged only twenty-seven.

title: Handspring double salto forward tucked

text:
The handspring double salto forward tucked, known as a  Produnova in women's artistic gymnastics and a Roche in men's artistic gymnastics, is a vault consisting of a front handspring onto the vaulting horse and two front somersaults in a tucked position off it.

Men's Artistic Gymnastics
The first person to complete the vault was Cuban gymnast Jorge Roche in 1980.

23 Roche vaults were performed during the 2000 Summer Olympics.

By 2010, male gymnasts had developed more difficult variations by performing it piked or with twists.

Women's Artistic Gymnastics
Under the 2017–2020 Code of Points (artistic gymnastics) for WAG, the vault has a D-score of 6.4, and is considered one of the hardest vaults ever performed in women's artistic gymnastics. It currently ties for the highest D-score on this apparatus with the Biles vault. It is named after Yelena Produnova of Russia, who was the first woman to complete it successfully in 1999. Produnova's coach, Leonid Arkayev, bet her that she could not perform the vault.  The D-score of the Produnova has been slowly reduced over the quads from 7.1 (2009–2012) to 7.0 (2013–2016) and now 6.4 (2017–2020).

The vault is dangerous because a gymnast could break her neck if she fell short of two rotations. At the 2016 Summer Olympics, Uzbek gymnast Oksana Chusovitina attempted the Produnova but fell. The vault is termed the "vault of death" due to its high level of difficulty and likelihood of injury. Asked why she did not perform the vault, Simone Biles stated, "I’m not trying to die."

title: Hybrid plasmonic waveguide

text:
A hybrid plasmonic waveguide is an optical waveguide that achieves strong light confinement by coupling the light guided by a dielectric waveguide and a plasmonic waveguide. It is formed by separating a medium of high refractive index (usually silicon) from a metal surface (usually gold or silver) by a small gap.

History

Dielectric waveguides use total internal reflection to confine light in a high index region. They can guide light over a long distance with very low loss, but their light confinement ability is limited by diffraction. Plasmonic waveguides, on the other hand, use surface plasmon to confine light near a metal surface. The light confinement ability of plasmonic waveguides is not limited by diffraction, and, as a result, they can confine light to very small volumes. However, these guides suffer significant propagation loss because of the presence of metal as part of the guiding structure. The aim of designing the hybrid plasmonic waveguide was to combine these two different wave guiding schemes and achieve high light confinement without suffering large loss. Many different variations of this structure have been proposed. Many other types of hybrid plasmonic waveguides have been proposed since then to improve light confinement ability or to reduce fabrication complexity.

Principle of operation

The operation of the hybrid plasmonic waveguides can be explained using the concept of mode coupling. The most commonly used hybrid plasmonic waveguide consists of a silicon nanowire placed very near a metal surface and separated by a low index region. The silicon waveguide supports dielectric waveguide mode, which is mostly confined in silicon. The metal surface supports surface plasmon, which is confined near the metal surface. When these two structures are brought close to each other, the dielectric waveguide mode supported by the silicon nanowire couples to the surface plasmon mode supported by the metal surface. As a result of this mode coupling, light becomes highly confined in the region between the metal and the high index region (silicon nanowire).

Applications

Hybrid plasmonic waveguide provides large confinement of light at a lower loss compared to many previously reported plasmonic waveguides. It is also compatible with silicon photonics technology, and can be integrated with silicon waveguides on the same chip. Similar to a slot-waveguide, it can also confine light in the low index medium. Combination of these attractive features has stimulated worldwide research activity on the application of this new guiding scheme.  Some notable examples of such applications are compact lasers, electro optic modulators, biosensors, polarization control devices, and thermo-optic switches.
