title: Heavy Metal and Reflective

text:
"Heavy Metal and Reflective" is a song recorded by American rapper Azealia Banks for her debut studio album Broke with Expensive Taste (2014). It was released as the second single from the album on July 28, 2014. Production of the song was handled by Lil Internet, who previously worked with Banks on her 2013 single "Yung Rapunxel", while writing came from Banks and James Strife. The track received generally mixed reviews from critics, who complimented the song's overall sound, but were critical of Banks' vocals. To promote "Heavy Metal and Reflective", Banks released a music video for the song on August 5, 2014, directed by Rob Soucy and Nick Ace, in which Banks escapes from being kidnapped and left in the desert, before leading a motorcycle gang through the terrain, arming herself with pit bulls.

Background
In 2011, it was reported that Banks was working on her debut studio album with British producer Paul Epworth, despite not being signed to a record label at the time. In January 2012, Banks signed a deal with Interscope and Polydor Records to work on new music, and a month later, she announced the title of the album to be Broke with Expensive Taste. "Heavy Metal and Reflective" was first announced in September 2013, when Banks posted the track listing of the album to her Instagram account. Approximately a year later, she handed a complete version of the album in to the labels. Banks initially thought it would receive favorable reception from the labels; however, the representatives told Banks that she had not recorded a "hit" single for the album. Ultimately, Banks ended the record deal with Interscope and Polydor in July 2014. "Heavy Metal and Reflective" was the first post-Interscope / Polydor track that Banks released, under her own new label, Azealia Banks Records. She later approached Jeff Kwatinetz and signed a contract with his company, Prospect Park, which ultimately led to the long-awaited release of Broke with Expensive Taste on November 7, 2014.

Throughout December 2014, Banks released a series of videos in which she gave a track-by-track commentary for all of the songs from Broke with Expensive Taste, and revealed how each song came to be, dubbed the '16 Days of Azealia'. During the commentary video for "Heavy Metal and Reflective", Banks revealed that the song was created during a four-day studio session based in London, in which she was with the track's producer, Lil Internet, as well as Machinedrum and her friends. She talked about how Lil Internet was "off in this other area", segregated from the rest of the group, for two days. He then emerged from his segregated space on the second day in the studio, with the instrumental for the track. Banks described her initial reaction to the song's production as "holy shit, this is crazy", and that the beat reminded her of past works of DMX, Ruff Ryders and Swizz Beatz. She also revealed that the track was originally titled "Street Angel".

Composition

"Heavy Metal and Reflective" is a song that runs for a duration of two minutes and thirty seconds. The track was produced by Lil Internet, who previously worked with Banks on her 2013 single "Yung Rapunxel". Kevipod from Direct Lyrics described the song's instrumental as "a hard-hitting, menacing beat courtesy of Lil Internet". Chris Coplan from Consequence of Sound commented that the song possessed a "combo of throbbing bass and sweat-soaked synths". Iyana Robertson, writing for Vibe, described the song's instrumental as a "a high-energy, twerk-yielding backdrop", going on to describe Banks' rapping in the song "[Banks] employs a complementing monotone to wield her sexual prowess".

Reception
The track received generally mixed reviews from critics. BET writer Dominique Zonyeé spoke on the track, calling it a "high energy, boastful song in which Azealia struts her stuff while reminding you that competitors have nothing on her". Chris Coplan from Consequence of Sound thought that the song had "the potential to a true club banger". Vanyaland writer Michael Marotta described the track as "brooding and menacing", going on to describe Banks' delivery, "Banks slices through her verses in a way that recalls the magic she first flashed on the still-lethal 2011 track '212'". In a positive review, Chris Thomas from HipHopWired complimented the track, writing "The Harlem native waxes poetics with a dexterous flow. Her rhymes are laden with braggadocios lines about her boss status". In a mixed review, Kevipod from Direct Lyrics complimented the song's instrumental, but was critical of Banks' vocals, writing "'Heavy Metal and Reflective' possesses a hard-hitting, menacing beat courtesy of Lil Internet and a lot of stale rapping by Azealia", while also commenting on the need for a more mainstream song from Banks' "if she really wants to put her career together again". Robbie Daw from Idolator gave the track a negative review, describing the song as "trap-lite trash", recommending that Banks spends more time "actually focus[ing] on not making shit music".

Commercially, the single achieved minor success in the UK. The song peaked at number 40 on the UK Indie Chart, and number 10 on the UK Indie Breakers Chart.

Promotion

Music video
Banks initially announced the track's release via a tweet of a video still from the song's music video, on July 18, 2014. In the still, Banks was seen standing under the sun, sporting a black jumpsuit adorned with flames on the chest and matching 3D flames on the sleeve. Critics called the release date bold, as the video was scheduled to drop a mere twenty-four hours after that of rapper Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda". The music video was released on August 5, 2014, and was directed by Rob Soucy and Nick Ace. In the video, Banks escapes from being kidnapped and left in the desert, before leading a motorcycle gang through the terrain, arming herself with pit bulls.

Live performances
On April 10, 2015, Banks performed "Heavy Metal and Reflective" during her set at the Coachella Festival. Rap-Up commented that the audience's "energy was consistently high" during the performance.

title: Musikhuset Aarhus

text:
Musikhuset Aarhus (Aarhus Concert Hall) is a large concert hall complex in Aarhus, Denmark. Located in the city centre, Musikhuset is Aarhus' main venue for music and with seating for more than 3,600 people in total, it is the largest concert hall in Scandinavia. Musikhuset Aarhus was designed by Kjær & Richter and built in 1979-1982, commissioned by Aarhus Municipality.

The surroundings are designed by landscape architect Sven Hansen. In front of the main glass foyer is the Concert Hall Park (Musikhusparken), a sculpture and parterre garden of boxwood with flowers, fountains and small seclusive corners with benches. A recreational lawn connects the park area with the City Hall Park. Between the concert halls and the adjacent ARoS art museum is a cobblestone amphitheatre hosting outdoor events and gatherings throughout the year.

The building complex
All in all, Musikhuset comprise six concert halls, nine stages and hosts more than 1,500 events every year for an audience close to half a million people. Musikhuset is built and equipped to also allow cultural experiences of a high quality for wheelchair users, the blind and people with hearing or vision impairments.

A lofty 2,000 m² foyer with glass facades on three sides, leads into an anteroom and then into the main auditorium of Store Sal (Large Hall). The foyer occasionally hosts shows, concerts, exhibitions and business arrangements and can house up to 1,000 standing guest or 700 seated. It is home to café and restaurant "johan r.", named after Johan Richter, the concert halls original architect. The restaurant has a small scene of its own, arranging about 300 free concerts annually. With its fully equipped stage, the main auditorium is designed for concerts, opera, ballet and musicals, but also large assemblies and meetings are held here and has seating for nearly 1,600 people. In 2011, Danish artist Mogens Gissel redecorated it in "wine red, curry yellow, mouse grey, nut brown, azure blue and pitch black". In an expansion project in 2005-2008, another large concert hall known as Symfonisk Sal (Symphonic Hall) was added, with seating for around 1,200 people, specifically built to host symphonic orchestral music concerts. Based on the proportions of the Great Hall of the Musikverein in Vienna, the Symphonic Hall allows adjustments of the walls, carpeting and acoustic panels in order to ensure the very best delivery of symphonic music.

Musikhuset has four smaller halls, each individually built and equipped to host various genres. The smaller auditorium known as Lille Sal (Small Hall), has seating for 319 people and was originally designed for chamber music specifically. It has been updated with new technology and now also hosts theatre, rhythmic music concerts, conferences and cinema events. Rytmisk Sal (Rhythmic Hall) has seating for 465 people, but can accommodate up to 1,000 standing guests due to a changeable telescopic scene. The hall is known as the Rock 'n' Roll hall of Musikhuset, designed for rhythmic music specifically. Kammermusiksalen (The Chamber Music Hall) is constructed for chamber music, with wooden floors, light colours and a wall-sized window section for sunlight. With seating for 100 guests this hall is also used for meetings, lectures and warm-up events of various kinds. Both the Rhythmic Hall and The Chamber Music Hall are located in the new associated academy building, constructed during the 2005-2008 expansion project.

The building complex is home to Den Jyske Opera (sometimes referred to as the Danish National Opera), Aarhus Symfoniorkester (Aarhus Symphony Orchestra), Teatret Filuren (a child theatre project) and Comedy ZOO Aarhus (an organisation for Danish stand-up comedy). With passageways of glass, steel and copper, the original concert hall building connects to the adjacent Royal Academy of Music built in 2007. The academy is also in yellow brick, but includes copper and has a somewhat different architectural design overall, designed by C. F. Møller Architects. Musikhuset hosts free concerts performed by the music academy students every week.

Events
The fourth edition of the Scandinavian children's song contest MGP Nordic was held at the Large Hall on November 29, 2008.

title: Satanikhil massacre

text:
Satanikhil massacre refers to the massacre of Bengali Hindu intellectuals on 14 May 1971 on the banks of Satanikhil canal in Dhaka district by the Pakistan armed forces. 14 Bengali Hindus were killed in the massacre.

Background
The village of Kewar falls under the Mahakali Union of Munshiganj Sadar Upazila in Munshiganj District. In 1971, the village was under Munshiganj police station of Dhaka district. The village was home to the renowned Chowdhury family, related to the Chowdhurys of Muktagachha in Mymensingh. The residence of the Chowdhury was spread over 7 acres and it housed a mutt, built on the tomb of Gourinath Chowdhury a scion of the family.

On 25 March 1971 the Pakistan Army launched Operation Searchlight. In Munshiganj, the army occupied the Haraganga College and set up and army camp. Some of the eminent Bengali Hindus of the region took shelter at the Chowdhury house at Kewar. Every night they used to guard the house in turns to get alerted of the enemy.

Killings
On the early morning of 14 May at around 4 am, a group of around 70 consisting of military men and the collaborators surrounded the Chowdhury house. They broke into the house and took hostage 22 Bengali Hindus. The hostages were taken to the banks of Satanikhil canal, a kilometer away. Sixteen of them were made to stand in a line and burst fired from machine gun. Fourteen of them died on the spot. Two survived, one of them identified as Jitu Bhaumik.

Out of the remaining six persons, Kedareshwar Chowdhury and Dr. Surendra Chandra Saha were taken to the Haraganga College army camp. The former, popularly known as Jala Moktar, was the scion of the Chowdhury family and a pleader at the court and the latter a physician. Kedarshwar was first let off but again arrested and taken to the camp. The two were subjected to inhuman tortures and finally killed. The dead bodies were dumped in a nearby beel. Two rickshaw pullers who went to see the corpses two were killed.

The rest four managed to escape by tricking their captors. One of them, Chandan Ambuli, managed to convince his captors that he was a Muslim.

Aftermath
The dead were not cremated. Nobody dared to cremate the dead.

title: Firedamp whistle

text:
A firedamp whistle (German: Schlagwetterpfeife) is an instrument for the prophylactic indication of firedamp — flammable gases often present in coal mines.

History

The German Emperor Wilhelm II asked Fritz Haber in 1912, shortly after the opening of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry in Berlin, for the construction of a warning system for the presence of firedamp.

Within a year Haber developed the methane whistle and presented it to the emperor in a lecture on October 28, 1913.  Haber tried hard to market the device and eventually signed a contract with the Auergesellschaft. Unfortunately, the device did not prevail, since the calibration of the pipes under working conditions in a colliery was not practical.

Mode of operation
The simultaneous use of two equally-tuned pipes, of which one is blown with atmospheric air and the second with another gas, results in two only slightly different tones, called a beat. The function of the methane whistle is based on the fact that the sound when blowing a whistle depends on the speed of sound in the gas. The sound velocities of methane and air differ by about 31%. For a 1% methane-air mixture, the speed of sound is about 1.0031 times as high as in air. If the pipes are tuned to 440 Hz in air, the air-methane pipe has a frequency of 440 Hz × 1.0031 = 441.4 Hz.  If two identically tuned pipes are blown by air and an air-methane mixture, the only slightly different tones produce a clearly audible beat. If the gas mixture changes in the resonator, then its resonance spectrum changes. By means of an absorber, interfering constituents of air such as humidity and carbon dioxide are removed. The methane whistle indicated methane levels in the mine air from 1 vol% and above.

title: Gilbert Sissons

text:
Gilbert Holme Sissons (20 March 1870  - 27 December 1940) was Archdeacon of Gibraltar from 1916 to 1929; and of Italy and the French Riviera from 1929 to 1934.

Biography
Sisson was born in Barton, Lincolnshire in 1870, the son of William Harling Sissons, a surgeon. He attended Sir John Nelthorpe Grammar School in Brigg, and subsequently graduated from Pembroke College, Cambridge, in 1892, and was made deacon in 1896, the same year in which he received his M.A. During a curacy at St Luke's, Leicester, he was ordained as a priest in December 1897. From 1902 to 1905 he was a curate at Duddington, Northamptonshire.

He was appointed chaplain to the English congregation in Bern, Switzerland, at the end of 1904, and took up his post in April 1905. He stayed for a little over two years.

During this time, his mother, Jane Thompson Sissons, who was about 65, attended Professor Kocher's clinic, presumably for a goitre operation. Through her contact with the mother of a fellow patient, Mrs Castleman, the money which was being appealed for to build the new church of St Ursula's, Berne, at Jubiläumsplatz was eventually donated.

He subsequently moved to St John's, Menton, where he stayed from 1907 until 1916. He next moved to All Saints', Rome for four years, and became Rural Dean for Italy and Malta, as well as the French Riviera. In 1921 he moved to Venice, in 1922 to Alassio, and from 1932 to his retirement in 1934 he was at Bordighera.

He died on 27 December 1940.‘

title: Antirrhineae

text:
The Antirrhineae are one of the 12 tribes of the family Plantaginaceae. It contains the toadflax relatives, such as snapdragons.

Description and uses

Most Antirrhineae are herbaceous, short-lived, perennial or annual plants growing at most about a metre/yard tall when in full flower; the maximum height of most species is half as much or less. Some are prostrate or twining. The flowers are often conspicuous, tubular with a basal appendix (spur, gibbous, or saccate) containing nectaries, and may be of any color, though yellow and blue/purple hues are most common. Multicolored flowers are a common occurrence in this tribe; a typical pattern is one conspicuous whitish or bright yellow or reddish spot at the lower outer edge of the flower tube, looking like a protruding tongue.  Other characters include poricidal dehiscent capsule fruit, and the possession of iridoid glycosides.

The Antirrhineae are not noted as food- or fodder plants, probably due to the iridoid content making them less than palatable. However, the tribe does not seem to contain highly poisonous plants, either; rather, use in folk medicine has been documented for a few species. While e.g. common toadflax (Linaria vulgaris) is credited with a range of uses by European herbalists, as of the 2010s, little scientific study has been made and the traditionally attested medical properties of the Antirrhineae are by and large unremarkable by standards of the Plantaginaceae, which abound with species of major pharmacological interest. The chief human use of the present tribe is for the flowers, primarily as ornamental plants in gardening. Colloquially called "the snapdragon", Antirrhinum majus is probably the single most widely known member of the Antirrhineae by far.

Antirrhinum majus cultivars can today be encountered essentially anywhere between Earth's polar circles, whether grown in a range of sizes and colours by hobbyists or field-scale for sale as cut flowers. In the hottest parts of the globe, it dies after one flowering, and in arid regions, other species may be more important, but otherwise it is extremely adaptable, and in warm-temperate climates, individual plants may survive for several years. The readiness with which A. majus flower colour and shape mutate and can be crossbred has led to the establishments of unusual (e.g. peloric) cultivars, as well as to making this species one of the first model organisms of genetics and helping uniting the theories of Darwin and Mendel. It remains a key model organism today in fields such as plant developmental genetics. Common toadflax has become established as a model organism more recently; while it may be an invasive nuisance weed in agriculture, like other toadflaxes and snapdragons, its attractive flowers make it useful as a wildflower. At present however, the other members of this family are generally only of minor or localized interest.

Taxonomy

The Antirrhineae include about 30 genera with roughly 320 species, of which 150 are in genus Linaria. The type genus is Antirrhinum L.

Antirrhineae are probably most closely related to the turtlehead tribe (Cheloneae) and/or a large and badly resolved core group of their family including plants as diverse as water-starworts (Callitriche), foxgloves (Digitalis), and speedwell (Veronica).

Subdivision

As the Antirrhineae have long been considered a distinct group, there has also been a long debate about recognition of distinct subdivisions. In 1909, Rouy separated the snapdragon-like subtribe Linarieae from the open-mouthed Anarrhineae and the monotypic Rhodochitoneae, the latter due to their petal-like calyx. By the mid-20th century, Rothmaler on morphological grounds identified five subtribes containing 21 genera:
 Anarrhinum group / Anarrhinae / Simbuletinae (monotypic)
 Gambelia group / Gambeliinae (3 genera)
 Linaria group / Linariinae (11 genera)
 Maurandya group / Maurandyinae (5 genera) – including Rhodochitoneae
 Mohavea group / Mohaveinae (monotypic)

Some 21st-century phylogenetic analyses indicate some quite different lineages. Mainly, the earlier authors seem to have overlumped the snapdragon-like forms (including toadflaxes) which actually do not seem to be closely related, while overemphasizing the morphological diversity of the true snapdragon relatives. As early as 1982, Speta had realized that the typical toadflaxes (including Nuttallanthus) were a lineage well apart from the snapdragons and similar genera, and established the Antirrhininae for the latter. In 2000, combining internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and morphological data from 16 genera, Ghebrehiwet et al confirmed Rothmaler's proposal of a close relationship between the fairly dissimilar-looking Maurandya and Rhodochiton and the distinctness of their lineage from the bulk of the subfamily. However, they found the "Linarieae" hard to resolve, but could already tell that Kickxia should be moved to the Anarrhinae, and Asarina and Cymbalaria to the Maurandyinae. In addition, Mohavea was recognized as a snapdragon relative with extremely modified flowers, refuting a monotypic Mohaveinae. Vargas et al in 2004 found six probable clades based on ITS and ndhF sequences of 22 genera, which they labelled as:
 Anarrhinum group (2 genera)
 Antirrhinum group (at least 7 genera)
 Chaenorhinum group (3 genera)
 Gambelia group (at least 3 genera)
 Linaria group (1 or 2 genera)
 Maurandya group (at least 6 genera)
However, they also noted profound morphological diversity amongst the Antirrhinum group, in accordance with the proliferation of segregated genera.

Using ITS data from all 29 then-recognized genera, the 2013 study of Fernández-Mazuecos et al. identified six similar clades. They were able to assign all these genera to one of these clades, which they labelled as:
 Anarrhinum clade (2 genera)
 Antirrhinum clade (9 genera)
 Chaenorhinum clade (3 genera)
 Cymbalaria clade (9 genera)
 Galvezia clade (3 genera)
 Linaria clade (2 genera)

The most striking difference between the 2004 and 2013 results is the precisely inverted placement of Galvezia and Gambelia (one as core of a distinct clade, the other close to Antirrhinum as part of the Sairocarpus complex). Given the highly similar datasets and analyses, a clerical error confusing the two generic names might be suspected, but considering that the 2013 study included two species of each genus which congruently resolved as sister taxa, hybrid introgression, or a disparity between nuclear (ITS) and chloroplast (ndhF) evolution or some other divergence seems a more likely cause. The erratic behavior of the two genera was noted by Vargas et al but not discussed in Fernández-Mazuecos et al.; adding to the confusion, Ghebrehiwet et al found a strongly supported Galvezia fruticosa-Gambelia speciosa clade excluding Pseudorontium and Schweinfurthia and equidistant from the true snapdragons and toadflaxes, entirely in line with Rothmaler's Gambeliinae. Furthermore, several species were historically moved between the two genera without authors noting anything suggesting against a very close relationship between them.

Regarding internal phylogeny, at present, resolution is insufficient. In the more recent studies, the Chaenorhinum clade is fairly robustly resolved as sister to the true snapdragons, but otherwise not much is clear. Except for the Antirrhinum-Chaenorhinum and Linaria clades, all main lineages have resolved as basal in one recent study or another, but the proposed interrelationships between the clades/subtribes other than Antirrhinum-Chaenorhinum are at most tenuously supported in all of them. As it seems, however, Rothmaler's general concept of an ancestral radiation of basal lineages and a subsequent diversification of the toadflax-snapdragon group was essentially correct, even though he overlumped the latter.

Genera

As of 2013, 29 genera are included in the Antirrhineae. Listed by clade, they are:
 Anarrhinum clade / AnarrhinaeAnarrhinum Desf.

 Schweinfurthia A.Braun

 Linaria clade / Linariinae sensu stricto
 Linaria Mill.
 Nuttallanthus D.A.Sutton – formerly often in LinariaLafuentea Lag. is a highly distinct Plantaginaceae genus containing a mere two species from the Strait of Gibraltar region. It is included in the present tribe by GRIN, whereas other authors have variously allied it with the foxgloves (Digitalis) or even united with the equally puzzling Oreosolen and Ourisia in a lineage close to the broomrape Rehmannia as part of the Scrophulariaceae sensu lato. In the 2013 study as well as in the 2005 Plantaginaceae analysis by Albach et al. Lafuentea indeed tends to resolve as an additional and basalmost lineage (subtribe in Linnean taxonomy) of the Antirrhineae, far from Digitalis, Oreosolen, Ourisia or Rehmannia; in fact, these five genera are apparently all distinct from each other at least at tribal level (Oreosolen and Rehmannia are even outside the Plantaginaceae). However, the results were not unequivocal and support for including Lafuentea in the Antirrhineae not very robust. Besides, the interrelationships of the Plantaginaceae tribes are also not at all robustly resolved, and some fairly close relatives of the Antirrhineae – such as Campylanthus or the singular Hemiphragma – have similarly uncertain positions as Lafuentea with regard to their presumed closest relatives. Thus, while Lafuentea seems to be a "living fossil" from near the origin of the Antirrhineae and is certainly highly useful as an outgroup in cladistic studies of their internal relations, whether its placement within this tribe is correct requires further study.

title: The Vegetarian Myth

text:
The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability is a 2009 book by Lierre Keith published by PM Press. Keith is an ex-vegan who believes that "veganism has damaged her health and others". Keith argues that agriculture is destroying not only human health but entire ecosystems, such as the North American prairie, and destroying topsoil. Keith also considers modern agriculture to be the root cause of slavery, imperialism, militarism, chronic hunger and disease.

Keith argues humans should accept death as a necessary precursor to food in that "everyone will get eaten, sooner or later". In sum, her proposition is that herbivores eat grass, humans eat herbivores, and then (eventually) worms/bacteria/etc. eat humans.

Reception

The book resulted in extreme controversy, going as far as Keith being physically assaulted at a book reading. Aric McBay says that Keith is not being provocative for the sake of it, rather she believes vegetarians have the right impulse but are misinformed about the facts. Ian Fitzpatrick wrote that the book is at the core about the unsustainable nature of modern agriculture, but is "disguised" as a treatise against vegetarianism. Susan Schenck said the book was "full of hard core indisputable research". She agrees with the book's discounting of the contested scientific hypothesis on the effects of cholesterol on coronary heart disease. She further agrees with the book's claims linking soy with several ailments. However Schenck disagrees that vegetarians are necessarily unhealthy, believing each individual has different abilities to synthesize the needed nutrients from different foods. Patrick Nicholson writes that the book misinterprets scientific articles, cherry-picks facts, uses strawman arguments and relies heavily on anecdotes and faulty generalisations. John Sanbonmatsu interprets Keith's rhetoric as apocalyptic and millenarian. He argues that Keith's nutritional arguments are grounded on anecdotes and lack proper scientific backing.
Also the book was translated into dozens of languages including Spanish, Italian and Arabic.

title: Noise calculation

text:
Noise calculation is the process of calculating the level of noise immission using the metric dB(A). Noise immission is created by noise sources (noise emission) of various types which are propagating noise into the environment. A single source will create a certain level of immission primarily driven by originating sound power level and distance influenced by e.g. absorption and reflection. Several noise sources result in typically higher levels of immission. The method or process of determining the resulting immission level is called noise calculation, its graphical representation is called noise map.

Noise calculation is done for the following reasons:
 to calculate a current situation based on existing physics, mostly when a physical measurement at a location is impractical
 to predict the resulting immission levels based on a planned change, e.g. set up of a new machine
Mostly, noise calculation is part of any such planning process and may become part of the decision process for physical change

Environment engineering differentiates between:
 indoor sound propagation, e.g. occupational health considerations
 outdoor sound propagation, e.g. city planning considerations as well as type of noise source, e.g.
 industrial noise
 rail or air traffic noise
 road noise

Each of before mentioned require different algorithms for noise calculation which have been defined over time in a number of different national or international standards. As an example, outdoor sound propagation is defined in ISO standard 9613 which can be received from the ISO organisation or scientific literature.

Calculation standards

This list of widely accepted noise calculation standards is incomplete, and new standards may be under development:

 ISO 9613 parts 1 and 2 defines the calculation methods for outdoor sound propagation (International)
 VDI2714 and VDI2720 Schallausbreitung und Schallschutz im Freien (outdoor sound propagation, Germany)
 DIN18005 Schallschutz im Städtebau (noise protection in cities, Germany)
 TA Laerm Technische Anleitung zum Schutz gegen Lärm (Germany)
 VDI-Richtlinie 3745 Blatt 1 Beurteilung von Schießgeräuschimmissionen (Germany)
 BS 5228 Code of practice for noise and vibration control on construction and open sites (UK)
 RLS-90 Richtlinien für den Lärmschutz an Straßen (noise protection at roads/traffic, Germany)
 CRTN calculation of road traffic noise (UK)
 Schall03 Schienenlärm (calculation of rail noise, Germany)

Mathematical background

Data capture

NoiseScore is a mobile app for crowdsourcing community noise.

Calculation tools

Noise experts and some small specialized companies have slowly developed a limited number of calculation tools, which have increased in number and become more user-friendly, covering more application cases, and adding service elements to the noise calculation tools. The noise calculation process is complex in input (gathering data, correctly modeling acoustic elements in the field) and from a pure compute power perspective, recently advances involved:
 moving calculation routines into self-contained calculation engines
 adapting CAD systems for input of acoustic models
 moving into 3D for displaying models or even data capture
 moving into cloud services and web enabled calculation tools.

The quality of results from the noise calculation depends on the quality of the acoustic data provided and the capability of the noise calculation engine.o take decisions.

Some more widely used noise calculation software packages are:
 noise3D online
 Code_Tympan
 IMMI
 Olive Tree Lab Terrain
Some online tools used for noise calculations are:

title: Henry Sherek

text:
Jules Henry Sherek (1900–1967) was a British theatrical manager, known for producing the plays of T. S. Eliot.

Sherek was born on 23 April 1900, at 2 Guilford Street, London, to Bernard a merchant (and later an international theatrical agent), and Margarette (née Jacoby). He was educated at the Waren Gymnasium in Germany, where he became fluent in German, and at a school in Switzerland, where he learned to speak French. He was severely wounded while in the Near East during World War I, having lied about his age in order to enlist while only 15.

Following the war, and after a period in the United States working for David Belasco and at a theatrical agency, he took over his father's agency.

In 1937, he married the actress Pamela Carme (real name Kathleen Pamela Mary Corona Boscawen; 1902–1995), who was the daughter of the Evelyn Boscawen, 7th Viscount Falmouth. She retired from acting to be her husband's business partner.

During World War II, he again served in the British army, becoming a major before being invalided out in 1944.

He produced the T.S. Eliot plays The Cocktail Party, The Confidential Clerk, and The Elder Statesman. All were directed by E. Martin Browne.

He appeared as a castaway on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 15 June 1959.

Examples of his correspondence with Sir Cecil Beaton are included in the latter's papers, in the library of St John's College, Cambridge.

After spending his retirement in Geneva, he died in Venice on 23 September 1967.

The 1999 Castle Point Borough Council election took place on 6 May 1999 to elect members of Castle Point Borough Council in Essex, England. The whole council was up for election and the Labour party stayed in overall control of the council.

Background
Before the election Labour controlled the council with 32 councillors, compared to 5 for the Conservatives and 2 seats were vacant. This came after Labour had won a majority at the 1995 election gaining 30 seats from the Conservatives and meant the Conservatives required a swing of over 10% to take back control.

Both the Conservative and Labour parties contested every ward, while the Green party had 3 candidates. Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrats did not stand any candidates at the election, despite having put up over a dozen candidates in 1995.

Election result
The Labour held onto control of the council with 24 councillors, but lost 10 seats to the Conservatives who finished with 15 seats. Most of the Conservative advances came in Benfleet, where they picked up 6 seats. Meanwhile, the Conservatives gained both seats in Canvey South after 2 recounts, with the final result in that ward being announced the day after the election. Overall turnout at the election was 32%.

title: Overseas Weekly

text:
The Overseas Weekly was an English-language newspaper published in Frankfurt, Germany, from 1950 to 1975. Its primary audience was American military personnel stationed in Europe, especially enlisted men and especially in Germany, reaching a circulation of about 50,000 copies a week. Sister publications eventually included Overseas Family and Overseas Traveler, as well as a Pacific edition during the height of the Vietnam War. Conflict with the U.S. military establishment was a frequent occurrence.

The OW was founded by an American civilian, Marion von Rospach, and three male colleagues who were then completing their military service. With a capitalization of $3,000, they produced their early issues out of their homes and "an elderly Volkswagen." With the outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950, the men were retained in the U.S. Air Force and left Rospach to carry on alone. By focusing on stories too racy for the official military daily, Stars and Stripes, OW had a circulation of 15,000 by 1953, when the military establishment banned it from base newsstands on the grounds of "sensationalism" and denied its use of the printing and circulation facilities of Stars and Stripes. PRospach enlisted the help of California Sen. William F. Knowland and filed suit against the Secretary of Defense, Charles Erwin Wilson, actions that succeeded in lifting the ban and increasing its profile.

Rospach rented offices in the Frankfurt Press Club, contracted with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung to print the newspaper and hired a staff of German and expatriate civilians and former U.S. military men, with the Americans paid a starting salary of $60 a week, later raised to $70. An early hire was a German-born ex-serviceman, John Dornberg, who became the paper's news editor and later a correspondent for Newsweek and author of books and articles about Germany and Eastern Europe. Life magazine took note of the newspaper about this time, describing Rospach as "a stubby dynamo of a woman" and OW as "the bane of the U.S. armed forces command in Germany."

"The OW was a tabloid whose front page featured a partially clad young woman and two or more enticing headlines--sometimes printed in red ink--on the lines of "LT SEDUCED MY WIFE, GENIUS GI TELLS COURT." Courts-martial, generally not covered by the  Stars and Stripes, was a news staple, along with more pin-up photos, the comic strip Beetle Bailey and an editorial bias that favored enlisted men over their officers. To the military it was known as the "Oversexed Weekly". In 1958 Rospach added a second weekly, the Overseas Family, edited by Cecil Neff and more genteel in content, to appeal to the wives and children of military personnel.

In 1961 an OW reporter broke the story of the "pro-Blue" program sponsored by Maj. Gen. Edwin Walker, commander of the U.S. Army's 24th Infantry Division in Augsburg. In a front-page story, the newspaper accused Walker of brainwashing soldiers with right-wing materials from the John Birch Society In return, Walker condemned the OW as "immoral, unscrupulous, corrupt and destructive." Relieved of his command and passed over for promotion, Walker resigned from the U.S. Army that October.

Curtis Daniell, a recently discharged serviceman, became the OW executive editor in 1963, when the newspaper reached a weekly circulation of about 50,000. As the Vietnam War began to intensify, Daniell hoped to publish a Pacific edition but was refused space on military newsstands in South Vietnam. Nevertheless, in 1966 he sent reporter Ann Bryan to Saigon to establish a bureau there, and in time she won permission to publish a Pacific edition of the OW, printed in Hong Kong and flown to Saigon each week.

Rospach died from a fall at her home in New York City in October 1969, at which time the New York Times estimated its circulation as 40,000. The Overseas Weekly was purchased from her estate by Joe Kroesen, with Daniell continuing as executive editor. The OW ceased publication in 1975.

title: The Ballad of Sexual Dependency

text:
The Ballad of Sexual Dependency is a 1985 slide show exhibition and 1986 artist's book publication of photographs taken between 1979 and 1986 by photographer Nan Goldin. It is an autobiographical document of a portion of New York City's No wave music and art scene, the post-Stonewall gay subculture of the late 1970s and early 1980s, the heroin subculture of the Bowery neighborhood, and Goldin's personal family and love life.

Critic Sean O'Hagan, writing in The Guardian in 2014, said it "remains a benchmark for all other work in a similar confessional vein." Lucy Davies, writing in The Telegraph in 2014, said it "would come to influence a generation of fledgling photographers, who fell into her truth-telling wake. She was credited by Bill Clinton with inventing heroin chic".

Details
The title The Ballad of Sexual Dependency was adapted from a song in Bertolt Brecht's Threepenny Opera.

It was originally devised as a slideshow set to the music of Velvet Underground, James Brown, Nina Simone, Charles Aznavour, Screamin' Jay Hawkins and Petula Clark among others, to entertain Goldin's friends. It "portrayed her friends – many of them part of the hard-drugs subculture on New York's Lower East Side – as they partied, got high, fought and had sex. It was first publicly shown at the Whitney Biennial in New York in 1985 and was published as a photobook the following year."

The snapshot aesthetic book was first published with help from Marvin Heiferman, Mark Holborn, and Suzanne Fletcher in 1986.

title: Giuliano Biagetti

text:
Giuliano Biagetti (12 April 1925 – 29 March 1998) was an Italian film director and screenwriter.

Life and career
Born in La Spezia into a family of Pisan origins, Biagetti studied medicine at the university of Pisa, and during this time he founded the stage company "The brigade of Doctors", for which he wrote several comic-grotesque plays. He moved to Rome in the early fifties, and there he had some experience as a documentarist and as an assistant director of notable directors including Joseph Losey, Giorgio Ferroni, Giacomo Gentilomo and Roberto Rossellini, who produced and wrote the feature film debut of Biagetti, the melodrama Rivalità. After a badly distributed second work Biagetti abandoned films, devoting himself to the  production and direction of commercials. He came back to cinema in 1968, directing two commercially successful films which had some political and social commitment, then since 1972 he focused on more low-profile genre films, in which he was sometimes credited as Pier Giorgio Ferretti.

title: William C. Brennan

text:
William C. Brennan (October 11, 1918 – May 8, 2000) was an American lawyer and politician from New York.

Life
He was born on October 11, 1918, in New York City. He attended Junior High School No. 125. He graduated from Newtown High School. Then he became a traffic patrolman. In 1941, he married Gloria M. Lauer, and they had two children. During World War II he served in the U.S. Army Air Force. He graduated from New York University School of Law in 1948, and practiced law in New York City. He also entered politics as a Democrat.

Brennan was a member of the New York State Assembly (Queens Co., 2nd D.) from 1955 to 1964, sitting in the 170th, 171st, 172nd, 173rd and 174th New York State Legislatures. On July 2, 1964, he was appointed by Mayor Robert F. Wagner, Jr. to the New York City Criminal Court. Brennan left the bench when the new Mayor John V. Lindsay did not re-appoint him in January 1966.

Brennan was a member of the New York State Senate (12th D.) in 1967 and 1968. In November 1968, he was elected to the New York City Civil Court and returned to the bench in January 1969. In November 1969, he was elected to the New York Supreme Court and served from 1970 to 1985.

On July 25, 1985, he was indicted by a federal grand jury for taking $47,000 in bribes to fix cases in his court. On July 31, he was arraigned before Justice Jack B. Weinstein in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, and pleaded not guilty. On December 12, Brennan was convicted of taking bribes and several related charges. He then resigned from the bench. On February 3, 1986, he was sentenced to five years in prison, and fined $209,000. On February 11, he was denied bail while appealing, and was ordered to go to jail on March 10. Brennan served 26 months of his sentence, and was released on parole from Allenwood Federal Prison on May 13, 1988. On the same day, his appeal was judged: nine of the original 26 charges were dismissed, and his fine was reduced to $9,000, but the prison sentence was upheld.

He died on May 8, 2000.

title: Ashley Park

text:
Ashley Park is a private residential neighbourhood at Walton-on-Thames in Surrey.  Its central feature was a grandiose English country house, at times enjoying associated medieval manorial rights, which stood on the site, with alterations, between 1605 and the early 1920s.  Its owners included Charles Sackville, 2nd Duke of Dorset, in the 18th century and members of the Sassoon family around the turn of the 20th century.

The bulk of the estate was developed into detached houses in the inter-war period, often rebuilt since in a modernist style with American influences; older examples tend to be in the Arts and Crafts style, its principal local exponent being Walter George Tarrant. Houses sold by its development company are more strictly subject to covenants mandating low density residential development.

History

Former house and owners of the estate
The manor here was recorded in forms similar to and including Asshlees in 1433 in the hands of Joan widow of Robert Constable who held it of the Crown. This was a relatively small manor measured at  as to its earliest demesne which was later extended. It is believed to have been mainly woodland with some lawns and fields. The manor was one of those incorporated into set of manors (the 'honour') of Hampton Court under the passing of the Hampton Court Manors or Manors of Hampton Court Act, 1539. The construction of the first properly documented "Ashley House" was by Lady Jane Berkeley in 1602–05 and it was altered over the centuries until demolition between 1920 and 1925. Whether a relief (livery of seisin) was not paid, no heirs existed or through attainder, Ashley Manor escheated to the Crown before and after Berkeley's ownership as was common of many manorial estates in that period. The manor and Walton Lee and Walton Meads were granted (that is to say, the chief tenancy of the same) by James I of England to Henry Gibb in 1625; but the house may already have been long-let to wealthy tenants – it was long leased by 1630 to the brother of the King's favourite (the Duke of Buckingham) Christopher Villiers, 1st Earl of Anglesey who lived at Ashley Park and died in Windsor in April 1630. It may have been he who extended the estate as he was before ennoblement successively Gentleman of the Horse; Gentleman of the Bedchamber; Master of the Robes and five years after being granted his earldom Chief Steward or Keeper of the Honour of Hampton Court in 1628 supplemented by that of Bushy Park the year after.

Lord Anglesey's widow, Elizabeth married in 1641  Benjamin Weston one of ten children of the financially astute Lord Treasurer to King James and King Charles, Richard Weston, 1st Earl of Portland; they continued to live there until she died in 1662. Multiple owners or tenants of short duration followed before it was bought by Field Marshal Viscount Shannon in 1718, who purchased from the estate of Sir Richard Pyne, retired Lord Chief Justice of Ireland (1695-1709); he bought the manorial rights which were until then held separately, and he died at the house, 20 December 1740.  Lord Anglesey and Lord Shannon are buried and memorialised in the parish church of Walton-on-Thames. Lord Shannon's heir and only child Grace became by marriage The Countess of Middlesex (d.1763). By her Will and by virtue of her husband dying like her childless in 1769, the estate passed to her cousin Colonel John Stephenson and thereafter his sisters.

The house was inherited by a cousin of these sisters: Sir Henry Fletcher, Member of Parliament for Cumberland in 1786 and stayed in his family until it was bought by Sassoon David Sassoon shortly before his death in 1867; his grandson Sassoon Joseph Sassoon and young family were the final owners of the house.

As to the final form of the house it is recorded the second Fletcher heir, among the title back-named since the 4th generation Aubrey-Fletcher baronets, "pulled down a great deal of the house at Ashley Park".

Other uses

Former Golf Club
Ashley Park Golf Club appeared in the 1890s but ceased to exist prior to the First World War. The house itself remained in the Sassoon family until it was demolished in 1920.

Subdivision into individual plots
Redevelopment occurred in three phases:
Early construction of Walton-on-Thames station in railway history – May 1838 – caused the owners to sell minor land for building for cottages nearest to the railway and along public roads.
An advent in commuting to the City of London led to clusters of planned houses at the north end of Ashley Road and at the Halfway by 1874 and a major reduction in eastern parkland.
Executors of the S. Joseph Sassoon estate in the 1920s needed to pay the Crown the newly increased form of death duties and provide for heirs. The increasingly costly House was demolished. The 18th century Dower House (with two renamed wings) on Oatlands Drive was not demolished, its large cottage-style terrace of three houses is listed, mainly for heritage.  The rump of the estate was sold to a purposely incorporated development company which sold high-class building plots and houses subject to and benefitting from covenants of a high initial minimum price and prohibiting non-detached houses.

Roads in the final phase of sales were not offered to the local authority, limiting pavements. The scale of development has preserved many trees planted on parts which were once variously its golf course, owner's private parkland and scattered centuries-old, diverse woodland.  The north-west extreme of the park became the tree-lined public green space which shares its name and in the late 20th century developed a home maintenance superstore and surface car parks.   The architecture of houses is mainly inter-war Arts and Crafts style, its principal local exponent being Walter George Tarrant, who may have worked on grander examples.

title: Mehmet Nuri Efendi

text:
Mehmet Nuri Efendi (1885 – 7 April 1921) was an Ottoman mufti (Islamic scholar who is an interpreter or expounder of Islamic law) of the town of Bilecik, and is known for his support to the Turkish national movement and subsequent assassination by the Greeks in 1921 during the Greco-Turkish War (1919–22). A tomb was built for him in 1996.

Life and murder
Mehmet Nuri Efendi was born in Şahinler village of Bilecik/Gölpazarı. He became the müftü of Bilecik in 1912 and continued in this function till his death. During the Armenian Genocide, in July 1916, at which time he held the rank of captain of the Ottoman gendarmerie, Nuri Efendi participated in the massacre of two thousand five hundred Armenian soldier-workers, interned at the medrese at Sıvas. The Armenians were taken to the outskirts of the town and are killed between Sarkışla and Gemerek.

During the Greco-Turkish War (1919–22) he took an active role in the local Turkish national movement. As the müftü of Bilecik he recognized the fatwa of Ankara  as legitimate. This fatwa  was supportive of the Turkish nationalists based in Ankara. After the Greeks occupied Bilecik he moved to a nearby village from which he regularly informed Ankara of the events.

On 7 April 1921, he traveled while being armed together with an unarmed friend but he was ambushed near the village of Deresakarı by a Greek patrol and killed. His body was buried in the village graveyard. His hometown of Bilecik was also burned by the Greeks during the same month. In 1996 a tomb was built for him which is a site of local commemoration. He was married and had two children his family took the surname of Kırıkkanat (Broken wing).

Rivalry (, also known as Medico condotto) is a 1953 Italian melodrama film. Written, produced and overseen by Roberto Rossellini, it marked the directorial debut of Giuliano Biagetti. The film was shot and set in Castiglione della Pescaia.

Production
The film is attributable to the trend of sentimental melodramas, commonly called tearjerking, at the time very popular among the Italian public, although frowned upon by contemporary film critics (who only in the seventies revalued these films, specifically coining the term neorealism of appendix).

Cast
Marco Vicario as Dr. Roberto Ferrero
Franca Marzi as Franca
Giovanna Ralli as  Luisa
Saro Urzì as  The Mayor
Edoardo Toniolo as  Mr. Fauci

title: Greiner–Murray ministry (1991–92)

text:
The Greiner–Murray ministry (1991–92) or Second Greiner–Murray ministry or Second Greiner ministry was the 81st ministry of the New South Wales Government, and was led by the 37th Premier of New South Wales, Nick Greiner, representing the Liberal Party in coalition with the National Party, led by Wal Murray.

Buoyed by his government's strong performance in the polls, Greiner called a snap election for 25 May 1991. Despite widespread predictions by political and media commentators that Greiner would be easily re-elected to a second term, the impact of the Government's policies, particularly in terms of service cuts and increased charges, caused many voters to turn to Labor.  The 1991 state election saw the Coalition win 52 percent of the two-party vote.  However, much of the Coalition's margin was in its heartland, while Labor won many marginal seats it had lost in its severe defeat of three years prior.  The result was a hung Parliament, with the Coalition one seat short of a majority.  Greiner was forced into a minority government, relying on support from four independent politicians. Greiner's parliamentary majority was further eroded with the decision of Terry Metherell to become an Independent in late 1991, and with the loss of The Entrance in a 1992 by-election following a Court of Disputed Returns overthrowing the original result.

The ministry covers the period from 6 June 1991 when the coalition was re-elected following victory at the 1991 state election until 24 June 1992, when Greiner resigned from the ministry. Greiner decided to resign ahead of a planned no confidence motion in his actions that enticed Metherell to resign from his relatively safe Liberal seat by offering him an executive position in a government agency. An Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) inquiry found that Greiner had not acted criminally and had not set out to be corrupt, he would be seen "by a notional jury as conducting himself contrary to known and recognised standards of honesty and integrity". Despite beginning proceedings before the New South Wales Court of Appeal, Greiner resigned on 24 June in the face of a warning from a group of independent politicians who told Greiner that unless he resigned, they would withdraw their support from the government and support the no-confidence motion. Greiner was successful in his appeal before the NSW Court of Appeal, which in a 2-1 decision on 21 August 1992 overturned the ICAC findings.

Greiner was succeeded by John Fahey.
