title: Virtual reality sickness

text:
Virtual reality sickness, or VR sickness occurs when exposure to a virtual environment causes symptoms that are similar to motion sickness symptoms.  The most common symptoms are general discomfort, eye strain, headache, stomach awareness, nausea, vomiting, pallor, sweating, fatigue, drowsiness, disorientation, and apathy.  Other symptoms include postural instability and retching. Common causes are low frame rate, input lag, and the vergence-accommodation-conflict.

Virtual reality sickness is different from motion sickness in that it can be caused by the visually-induced perception of self-motion; real self-motion is not needed.  It is also different from simulator sickness; non-virtual reality simulator sickness tends to be characterized by oculomotor disturbances, whereas virtual reality sickness tends to be characterized by disorientation.

Consequences
Virtual reality sickness may have undesirable consequences beyond the sickness itself.  For example, Crowley (1987) argued that flight simulator sickness could discourage pilots from using flight simulators, reduce the efficiency of training through distraction and the encouragement of adaptive behaviors that are unfavorable for performance, compromise ground safety or flight safety when sick and disoriented pilots leave the simulator.  Similar consequences could be expected for virtual reality systems.  Although the evidence for performance decrements due to virtual reality sickness is limited, research does suggest that virtual reality sickness is a major barrier to using virtual reality, indicating that virtual reality sickness may be a barrier to the effective use of training tools and rehabilitation tools in virtual reality. Estimates of the multi-study incidence and main symptoms of virtual reality sickness (also called cybersickness) have been made.

Causes
Virtual reality sickness is closely related to simulator and motion sickness. Sensory conflict theory provides a framework for understanding motion sickness; however, it can be applied to virtual reality sickness to better understand how it can occur, and is commonly used for that purpose.  Sensory conflict theory posits that sickness will occur when a user's  perception of self-motion is based on incongruent sensory inputs from the visual system, vestibular system, and non-vestibular proprioceptors, and particularly so when these inputs are at odds with the user's expectation based on prior experience.  Applying this theory to virtual reality, sickness can be minimized when the sensory inputs inducing self-motion are in agreement with one another.

A major trigger of virtual reality sickness is when there is disparity in apparent motion between the visual and vestibular stimuli. This disparity occurs if there is a disagreement between what the stimuli from the eyes and inner ear are sending to the brain. This is a fundamental cause of both simulator and motion sickness as well. In virtual reality, the eyes transmit that the person is running and jumping through a dimension, however, the ears transmit that no movement is occurring and that the body is sitting still. Since there is this discord between the eyes and the ears, a form of motion sickness can occur.

The images projected from typical virtual reality headsets have a major impact on sickness.  The refresh rate of on-screen images is often not high enough when VR sickness occurs. Because the refresh rate is slower than what the brain processes, it causes a disconnect between the processing rate and the refresh rate, which causes the user to perceive glitches on the screen.  When these two components do not match up, it can cause the user to experience the same feelings as simulator and motion sickness which is mentioned below.

The resolution on animation can also cause users to experience this phenomenon. When animations are poor, it causes another type of discord between what is expected and what is actually happening on the screen. When onscreen graphics do not keep the pace with the users' head movements, it can trigger a form of motion sickness.

Not all scientists agree with sensory conflict theory.  A second theory of motion sickness, which has also been used to explain virtual reality sickness, is the theory of postural instability.  This theory holds that motion sickness and related sicknesses occur because of poor postural adaptations in response to unusual coupling between visual stimuli and motor coordination. Characteristic markers of postural instability occur prior to appearance of symptoms and predict the later development of symptoms.  This theory can explain some otherwise surprising situations in which motion sickness did not occur in the presence of sensory conflict.

Technical aspects
There are various technical aspects of virtual reality that can induce sickness, such as mismatched motion, field of view, motion parallax, and viewing angle.  Additionally, the amount of time spent in virtual reality can increase the presence of symptoms.
Mismatched motion can be defined as a discrepancy between the motion of the simulation and the motion that the user expects.  It is possible to induce motion sickness in virtual reality when the frequencies of mismatched motion are similar to those for motion sickness in reality, such as seasickness.  These frequencies can be experimentally manipulated, but also have the propensity to arise from system errors.
Generally, increasing the field of view increases incidence of simulator sickness symptoms.  This relationship has been shown to be curvilinear, with symptoms approaching an asymptote for fields of view above 140°.
Altering motion parallax distances to those less than the distance between the human eyes in large multiple-screen simulation setups can induce oculomotor distress, such as headaches, eyestrain, and blurred vision.  There are fewer reports of oculomotor distress on smaller screens; however, most simulation setups with motion parallax effects can still induce eyestrain, fatigue, and general discomfort over time.
Viewing angle has been shown to increase a user's sickness symptoms, especially at extreme angles.  One example of such an extreme angle would be when a user must look downwards a short distance in front of their virtual feet.  As opposed to a forward viewing angle, an extreme downward angle such as this has been shown to markedly increase sickness in virtual environments.
Time spent immersed in a virtual environment contributes to sickness symptom presence due to the increasing effects of fatigue on the user.  Oculomotor symptoms are the most common to occur due to immersion time, but the nature of the user's movements (e.g., whole-body vs. head-only) is suggested to be the primary cause of nausea or physical sickness.

Techniques for reducing VR sickness
According to several studies, introducing a static frame of reference (independent visual background) may reduce simulation sickness. A technique called Nasum Virtualis shows a virtual nose as a fixed frame of reference for VR headsets.

Other techniques for reducing nausea involve simulating ways of displacement that don't create or reduce discrepancies between the visual aspects and body movement, such as reducing rotational motions during navigation, dynamically reducing the field of view, teleportation, and movement in zero gravity.

In January 2020, the French start-up Boarding Ring, known for their glasses against motion sickness, released an add-on device against virtual reality sickness. Using two small screens in the user's peripheral field of view, the device displays visual information consistent with vestibular inputs, avoiding the sensory conflict.

Galvanic vestibular stimulation, which creates the illusion of motion by electric stimulation of the vestibular system, is another technique being explored for its potential to mitigate or eliminate the visual-vestibular mismatch.

Newest technology
With the integration of virtual reality into the more commercial mainstream, issues have begun to arise in relation to VR sickness in head-mounted gaming devices. While research on head-mounted VR for gaming dates back to the early 1990s, the potential for mass usability has only become recently realized. Contemporary VR headsets appear to induce minimal to none VR sickness.

While certain features are known to moderate VR sickness in head-mounted displays, such as playing from a seated position rather than standing, it has also been found that this merely puts off the onset of sickness, rather than completely preventing it. This inherently presents an issue, in that this type of interactive VR often involves standing or walking for a fully immersive experience. Gaming VR specialists argue that this unique brand of VR sickness is only a minor issue, claiming that it disappears with time spent (multiple days) using the head-mounted displays, relating it to "getting your sea legs". However, getting users interested in sickness for multiple days with the promise of "probably getting over it" is a struggle for developers of head-mounted gaming tech. Surveys have shown that a large percentage of people won't develop their "VR legs," in particular women. These same developers also argue that it has more to do with the individual game being played, and that certain gaming aspects are more likely to create issues, such as change in speed, walking up stairs, and jumping, which are all, unfortunately, fairly normal game functions in predominant genres.

Individual differences in susceptibility
Individuals vary widely in their susceptibility to simulator and virtual reality sickness.  Some of the factors in virtual reality sickness are listed below:
 Age: Susceptibility to motion sickness is highest between the ages of 2 and 12.  It then decreases rapidly until about age 21, and continues to decrease more slowly after that.  It has been suggested that virtual reality sickness might follow a similar pattern, but more recent research has suggested that adults over the age of 50 are more susceptible than younger adults to virtual reality sickness.
 Postural stability: Postural instability has been found to increase susceptibility to visually-induced motion sickness. It is also associated with increased susceptibility to nausea and disorientation symptoms of virtual reality sickness.
 Flicker fusion frequency threshold: Because flicker in the display has been associated with increased risk of virtual reality sickness, people with a low threshold for detecting flicker may be more susceptible to virtual reality sickness.
 Ethnicity: Asian people may be more susceptible to virtual reality sickness. Chinese women appear to be more susceptible to virtual reality sickness than European-American and African-American women; research suggests that they are more susceptible to vision-based motion sickness.  Tibetans and Northeast Indians also appear to be more susceptible to motion sickness than Caucasian people, suggesting that they would also be more susceptible to virtual reality sickness, since susceptibility to motion sickness predicts susceptibility to a wide range of motion-sickness related disturbances.
 Experience with the system: Users seem to become less likely to develop virtual reality sickness as they develop familiarity with a virtual reality system.  Adaptation may occur as quickly as the second exposure to the virtual reality system.
 Gender: Women are more susceptible than men to virtual reality sickness. This may be due to hormonal differences, it may be because women have a wider field of view than men,  or gender differences in depth cue recognition.  Women are most susceptible to virtual reality sickness during ovulation and a wider field of view is also associated with an increase in virtual reality sickness. In more recent research, there is some disagreement as to whether gender or sex is a clear factor in susceptibility to virtual reality sickness.
 Health: Susceptibility to virtual reality sickness appears to increase in people who are not at their usual level of health, suggesting that virtual reality may not be appropriate for people who are in ill health.  This includes people who are fatigued; have not had enough sleep; are nauseated; or have an upper respiratory illness, ear trouble, or influenza.
 Mental rotation ability: Better mental rotation ability appears to reduce susceptibility to virtual reality sickness, suggesting that training users in mental rotation may reduce the incidence of virtual reality sickness.
 Field dependence/independence: Field dependence/independence is a measure of perceptual style.  Those with strong field dependence exhibit a strong influence of surrounding environment on their perception of an object, whereas people with strong field independence show a smaller influence of surrounding environment on their perception of the object.  While the relationship between field dependence/independence and virtual reality sickness is complex, it appears that, in general, people without a strong tendency towards one extreme or the other are most susceptible to virtual reality sickness.
 Motion sickness sensitivity: Those who are more sensitive to motion sickness in reality are also more sensitive to virtual reality sickness.

He was born in Hoorn, where he spent most of his childhood. In 1988 he became a student at the Amsterdam University, where he graduated in East European Studies with major topics in Slavistics and musicology. He continued his studies in Poland at Warsaw University and worked at the Warsaw Autumn festival for contemporary music. In 1997, he became a Polish translator and interpreter in the Netherlands.

In 1996, he started work on an artificial North Slavic language, Vuozgašchai (Vozgian), and in 2002 he created another language, Wenedyk, designed to show what Polish might have looked like if it had been a Romance rather than Slavic language. In 2006, he was one of the initiators of the Pan-Slavic language Slovianski (later renamed Interslavic), as well as the coordinator of a project for the creation of an electronic Interslavic dictionary. In November 2013, he was awarded the Josef Dobrovský medal for his 'contributions to Slavic culture and science'. In 2018 he also received the medal "The Living Word" of the Khovansky Foundation.

title: P. B. Nevill

text:
Percy Bantock Nevill, OBE, (Hackney, 1887-1975), known as P. B. Nevill, was an early Scoutmaster in the Boy Scout Movement and The Boy Scouts Association of the United Kingdom commissioner, long-term Headquarters Commissioner and later vice president.

Personal
Nevill was born on 14 June 1887 at Stamford Hill, London, England.  His parents were John (also known as Jack) Bantick and Alice Maria Neville. He was trained as a financial accountant. In 1914 after the outbreak of war, he volunteered for the army, but was refused on health grounds. He married Joan Woodruffe in June 1926. He died in England on 30 July 1975.

Scouting
Nevill was impressed by the September 1909 Crystal Palace Rally of Scouts in London and he established and was the Scoutmaster of the 5th Enfield Boy Scout troop. He helped establish and was a warden and trustee of Roland House Boy Scout settlement. He was instrumental in the donation of Gilwell Park to The Boy Scouts Association and, in 1958, he funded the Troop Room at Gilwell Park. In 1948 he donated 37 acres of cliff land adjoining the sea in Kingsdown, Kent to create the Kingsdown Boy Scout Camp. He contributed to Scouting publications, translation of scouting publications and wrote two books on Scouting, My Scouting Story (1960) and Scouting in London (1966)

The Boy Scouts Association appointments
The Boy Scouts Association appointed him as a district commissioner, becoming its Commissioner for East London in 1916, then a county commissioner. He was the association's Headquarters Commissioner for Kindred Societies, to liaise with other organisations, from 1914 until 1949, at the same time as he held other commissionerships and roles. He was also as the association's Headquarters Commissioner for Rovers from 1920 to 1930, when he resigned to focus on his other commissionerships. In 1926, the association awarded him its Silver Wolf. In the early 1960s, when he ended his commissionerships, the association appointed him as a vice president. He disagreed with changes implemented following the 1966 The Chief Scouts' Advance Party Report, particularly the discontinuation of Rovers and resigned all his active positions with the association but was made honorary commissioner for life. When he died in 1975, he was the last of Baden-Powell's contemporaries in The Scout Association headquarters and Council.

Roland House
In 1916, Nevill moved into Roland House Boy Scout Settlement, at 29 Stepney Green, East London as its warden. The house was the legacy of Roland Philipps who was killed in action in the 1914-18 World War. Roland House and its Scout Shop were maintained by its wardens, Rovers and resident Boy Scout leaders. William de Bois Maclaren was a guest of Nevill's at Roland House, which was decisive in De Boise Maclaren's donation of Gilwell Park to The Boy Scouts Association. In 1920, he took over the full lease for Roland House and all financial responsibility. Upon his marriage in 1926, he moved out of Roland House to Reigate, Surrey. He remained on the Roland House Committee until the 1960s. Roland House was closed by The Scout Association soon after Nevill's death.

Rovers
Rovers held Nevill's attention and support from the 1920s, soon after its beginning and The Boy Scouts Association appointed him as its Headquarters Commissioner for Rovers. He organised the first jamboree for Rovers (which Baden-Powell termed a "Moot"). He organised several more Moots. After resigning as The Boy Scouts Association Headquarters Commissioner for Rovers in 1930, he remained involved with Rovers and attended further Moots. In 1966, when The Boy Scouts Association discontinued Rovers following The Chief Scouts' Advance Party Report, Nevill resigned all his active positions with the association.

title: Shannon Nevin

text:
Shannon Nevin (born 13 February 1976) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played with the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles and the Balmain Tigers in the National Rugby League (NRL) and its predecessor the Australian Rugby League (ARL).

Career

Manly-Warringah
Nevin was born in Sydney, New South Wales and was a Manly Sea Eagles junior. A goal kicking fullback, Nevin was graded with the Sea Eagles but had to bide his time in Reserve Grade as Manly's first grade fullback at the time was New Zealand dual international custodian, the goal kicking Matthew Ridge.

Manly coach Bob Fulton gave Nevin his first grade debut from the bench for Manly in their 48–18 win over South Sydney at the Sydney Football Stadium (SFS) in the opening round of the 1995 ARL season. He then spent the next 11 weeks in reserve grade (during which the Sea Eagles first grade team did not lose a match), and was again on the bench for the Round 12 game against the North Sydney Bears at Brookvale Oval where he scored his first points in the top grade by kicking a goal. After spending the next three weeks in the reserves, he was called up for his first two games at fullback for the Sea Eagles when Ridge was unavailable due to representing New Zealand in a test series against France. Nevin played nine games for Manly in 1995 with his last game for the year in the clubs Qualifying final win over Cronulla. Manly, who had only lost two games for the entire season, would ultimately lose the Grand Final 17–4 to Sydney Bulldogs.

Nevin would again play nine games for Manly in the 1996 ARL season as the Sea Eagles made amends for the previous years disappointment by defeating St George 20–8 in the Grand Final at the SFS. He scored his first try in the top grade in Manly's 44-6 demolition of Souths in the opening round of the season.

Due to the Super League war, Ridge had signed with the Super League aligned Auckland Warriors and after his performances in 1995 and 1996, it was expected that Nevin would be an automatic selection at fullback for Manly in 1997. However, a poor pre-season and the signing of goal kicking  Craig Field saw Fulton use experienced, former NSW Origin winger Craig Hancock as Manly's fullback for the first 11 rounds of the season. Nevin returned to first grade in Round 11 against Balmain when Danny Moore was unavailable after being selected to play State of Origin for Queensland and Fulton moved Hancock to his preferred wing spot. When Moore returned, so did Nevin to the bench where he spent the next two games as a fresh reserve before he once again found himself in the reserves. After Hancock broke his ankle in Round 17, Nevin was finally given the fullback spot and also took over the goal kicking duties from Field.

The defending NRL premiers qualified for their third Grand Final in succession, this time facing the Newcastle Knights who were playing their first Grand Final since entering the competition in 1988. Nevin was a try scorer on the day for the Sea Eagles, but with the scores tied at 16–16 with seconds remaining, Knights halfback Andrew Johns passed on the blind side to flying winger Darren Albert who sped past the Manly defence to score under the posts to give Newcastle an upset 22–16 win. It would prove to be Nevin's last game with the Sea Eagles as he would sign to play with Balmain in the 1998 NRL season.

In three seasons with Manly, Nevin played 29 games (including one Grand Final), scored 6 tries and kicked 52/83 goals (62.65%) for a total of 128 points.

Balmain
His first season at Leichhardt Oval saw Nevin cement his place as Balmain fullback and goal kicker. Nevin played 20 games for the struggling Tigers, kicking 51/79 goals as well as his first field goal.

His second season with Balmain was far less successful. The arrival of goal kicking fullback Joel Caine again saw Nevin playing mostly in reserve grade. He would only play 11 games for the year and at the end of the season was released by the club.

Nevin played 60 first grade games in his career for Manly and Balmain. He scored 6 tries, kicked 121/186 goals (65.05%) and kicked one field goal for a total of 267 points.

Post career
In 2014, Nevin revealed in an interview that he had suffered at least 15 concussions during his career.

Nevin is currently the owner/operator of That Fitness Place, an independent, local gym and fitness centre, located in Seaforth on Sydney's Northern Beaches.

title: Ny Vestergade

text:
Ny Vestergade (lit. English: New West Street) is a street in central Copenhagen, Denmark. It runs from Frederiksholms Kanal to Vester Voldgade and together with Christiansborg's riding grounds, Marble Bridge and Dantes Plads forms an axis between Christiansborg's tower in the east and Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek's dome in the west. The National Museum's main entrance is located in the street.

History
Ny Vestergade is one of the streets that was created when the Frederiksholm neighbourhood was established in the 1660s. It is referred to as Den Nye Vestergade ("The New West Street") in 1665 but was long more commonly called Wigandts Gade after wine trader and ship owner Wigand Michelbecker (1636-1692), who owned a property where National Museum is now located. The name "New" refers to the old Vestergade, which extends westwards from Gammeltorv.

Notable buildings and residents

The National Museum occupies the entire north side of the street. The recessed main entrance was created by Mogens Clemmensen, Arne Nystrøm and Gehrdt Bornebusch in connection with their expansions of the museum between 1929 and 1938.

No. 9, 11 and 13 are listed. Dating from some time before 1770, Ny Vestergade 9 is the oldest house in the street. The two-storey No. 11 was built as a combined storage house and stables for grocer I. Lund in 1831. University of Copenhagen acquired the building in 1857 and it was subsequently adapted by Johan Henrik Nebelong in the Neoclassical style (1858). Nebelong also added a perpendicular rear wing (1859), which housed the university's chemical laboratory. A memorial plaque commemorates that August Krogh lived and worked in the building from 1910 until 1827. No. 13 was built in 1793 for inn-keeper Christen Christensen Bording, probably by one of Caspar Frederik Harsdorff's pupils. A later owner, Christian Ludvig Maag, expanded the house with an extra floor in  1855–1857. Maag also commissioned Georg Hilker, P. C. Skovgaard and Constantin Hansen. Countess Danner had an apartment in the building. The building is now part of Dansk Arbejdersgiverforening's headquarters on Vester Voldgade.

Public art and memorials

In the courtyard of Ny Vestergade 1 is a water feature with an antique statue. Above the statue is a round relief. The tableaux is visible through the gateway from the street. The walls of the gateway feature four more reliefs. The building is from 1870.

title: Copa Sul-Fronteira

text:
The Campeonato da Região Sul-Fronteira, commonly known as the Copa Sul-Fronteira, is an annual competition organized by the Rio Grande do Sul state football federation for clubs that are in the first, second and third divisions of the Campeonato Gaúcho and are located in the southern half of the state . It is held in the second half of the year and usually clubs participating in the higher levels of the Campeonato Brasileiro do not participate with the first team squad, using his academy.

The competition was founded in 2013, being a qualifying tournament for the Super Copa Gaúcha, where the winner ensures participation in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série D of the following year. The Copa Sul-Fronteira occasionally receive a different name, honoring important people related to football in Rio Grande do Sul. The 2014 edition is called Copa Ivânio Branco de Araújo, in posthumous tribute to former Brasil (PE) president who died in November 2012.

The current holders are Pelotas, having beaten their biggest rival Brasil (PE) by criterion of goal away after 2–2 aggregate in the 2013 finals. With this title, the Pelotas became the first winner of the Copa Sul-Fronteira in history.

History

Over the past decades, one of the major problems of Brazilian football has been the lack of an annual schedule for smaller clubs. These teams usually played in the state leagues and in the rest of the year closed, only reopening in the following year. Thus, FGF decided to create new competitions for this to not occur more, creating three regional tournaments: the Copa Sul-Fronteira, the Copa Metropolitana and the Copa Serrana. Along with the traditional domestic cup, the Copa FGF, the winners qualify for the Super Copa Gaúcha, where the four clubs play a qualification for the Campeonato Brasileiro Série D and also a place in the dispute of the state supercup, the Recopa Gaúcha, against the champion of the Campeonato Gaúcho.

The first edition of the Copa Sul-Fronteira was held in the second half of 2013, with the participation of five clubs of the southern half of the state. The finals was played between Pelotas, winner of the first round, and Brasil (PE), winner of the second round. The Pelotas won by criterion of goal away after 2–2 aggregate, winning the first title.

Format

Competition
In the first stage, all teams face off in round-robin, which will qualify the top four for the next phase, known as the semi-finals. At this stage, the first placed facing the fourth place and second place playing against the third placed in two matches each. The winners face off in the final two matches to define the winner of the competition.

Qualification for competitions
The Copa Sul-Fronteira winners qualify for the Super Copa Gaúcha, where it will have the opportunity to qualify for next year's Campeonato Brasileiro Série D. The winner of the Super Copa Gaúcha also dispute the Recopa Gaúcha, against the winner of Campeonato Gaúcho at the beginning of next season.

Clubs
Having been established in 2013, the Copa Sul-Fronteira is played by clubs located in the southern half of the Rio Grande do Sul and compete in the first, second or third division of the Campeonato Gaúcho. In some cases, clubs of the Metropolitan Porto Alegre compete in the cup, usually Grêmio or Internacional, to theoretically equal the competitions and let everyone on equal conditions. The following seven clubs will compete in the Copa Sul-Fronteira during the 2014 edition.

title: McCartney–Bone House

text:
The McCartney–Bone House (also known as the Bone–Wilbourn House and McCartney–Bone–Wilbourn House) is a historic residence near Maysville in Madison County, Alabama.  The house was built in 1826 by James McCartney, who came to Madison County in 1810.  McCartney held several public offices in the county, including Justice of the Peace, Tax Assessor and Collector, and County Commissioner.  He was also a member of the Flint River Navigation Company, which sought to improve transportation along the Flint River to the Tennessee River, making it easier to get goods from northeastern Madison County to market.  McCartney died in 1831, and his wife, Martha, remarried twice, the second time to Reverend Matthew H. Bone.  After Martha's death in 1885, the house remained in the family until 1955.

The brickwork is laid in Flemish bond, and is of the same high quality on all sides of the house.  The house is two stories, with a gable roof and a chimney in each gable end.  A central entry portico, added in the 1960s, is supported by two square columns with matching pilasters against the house.  The door is topped with an elliptical fanlight.  A pair of two-over-two sash windows flank the portico on either side.  Second floor windows are also two-over-two, but are slightly smaller.  All windows on the façade have recessed lintels filled with stucco.  A denticulated cornice with ogee modillions is repeated on the rear of the house, an unusual feature for an early 19th-century country house.  The main portion of the house has two rooms on either side of a central hall on both floors.  The house originally had a detached kitchen; it was rebuilt in 1873 to be closer to the house and later joined.  A shed roofed veranda on the rear has been enclosed to form a sun porch.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.

title: DaVaris Daniels

text:
DaVaris Daniels (born December 18, 1992) is a professional Canadian football wide receiver for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He played college football at Notre Dame. After going undrafted in the 2015 NFL Draft, Daniels signed with the Minnesota Vikings.

Early years
A native of Vernon Hills, Illinois, Daniels attended Vernon Hills High School; His first varsity touch for the Vernon Hills Cougars football team came in his freshman season in 2007, and resulted in a 93-yard kickoff return for touchdown. He helped lead Vernon Hills to an 8–3 record as a junior in 2009 as he accounted for 888 all-purpose yards (221 receiving, 344 rushing, 323 passing). As a senior, he led his team to the Illinois Class 5A quarterfinals in the 2010 state playoffs. He accounted for 19 total touchdowns during his senior season: 10 rushing TDs, five receiving TDs, two punt returns, one interception return and one blocked field goal return. He was a Chicago Tribune first-team all-state selection and was selected to play in the 2011 Under Armour All-America Game in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Daniels was not a member of the track and field team at Vernon Hills High School.

Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Daniels was rated as the 21st best wide receiver prospect of his class, and the second best prospect from the state of Illinois. He was named best prospect in Illinois and 63rd-best player in the nation by 247Sports.com. He was rated as the ninth-best wide receiver and the 64th-ranked player in the country by Sporting News.

title: Cheongpung Bridge

text:
Cheongpung Bridge () is a cable-stayed bridge which crosses the lake formed by Chungju Dam (part of the Namhan River system, a tributary of the Han River) in North Chungcheong Province, South Korea on Route 82 in that region.

The bridge project began in December 2004 and was scheduled to be completed in September 2010, to replace an existing PSC box girder bridge which had required periodical rehabilitation and repair work.  As the area where the bridge was constructed has well-known natural scenery and attractions, it designed to support tourism development plans.

Construction and design
The bridge was built by contractor Daelim Industrial Co., LTD, at a contract price of 40.3 million USD. Concrete pylon height with typical H-shape is 103m and constructed by auto climbing form. The main span of 327m across the lake is constructed using the free cantilever method and the side span of 57.5m is constructed by the full staging method.
The combination of composite section (reinforced concrete deck and I-shaped steel girder) for the center span and concrete section for side spans applied to the bridge because of decreasing effect of weight balance.  Concrete pylon has typical H-shape.  The leg shape beneath the superstructure level, on the other hand, needs to be narrow down a little bit to make the size of foundation smaller mainly for less rock excavation at foundation locations and better handling of construction unit (caisson) considering the site condition.  Cable is a multi strand system as two planes semi-fan.  An extra pier support in each side span has been applied.  To maximize the counter weight effect by concrete girder at side span, it is necessary to make the side span heavier as possible and not to have excessive bending moment by increasing dead load at the same time. Here, the extra pier support gives more opportunity for having more weight and stiffness in side span without resulting in excessive bending moment in girders and pylons.

title: Tai'an Pumped Storage Power Station

text:
The Tai'an Pumped Storage Power Station is a 1,000 MW pumped-storage hydroelectric power station located in the city of Tai'an in Shandong Province, China. Construction on the project began in February 2000 and the upper reservoir began to fill in May 2005. The four generators were commissioned between December 2005 and August 2007. The power station operates by shifting water between an upper and lower reservoir to generate electricity. The lower reservoir, Dahe Reservoir, was originally built in 1960 but repaired extensively for the project. The Tai'an Upper Reservoir is located in a valley above the east side of the lower reservoir. During periods of low energy demand, such as at night, water is pumped from Tai'an Lower Reservoir up to the upper reservoir. When energy demand is high, the water is released back down to the lower reservoir but the pump turbines that pumped the water up now reverse mode and serve as generators to produce electricity. The process is repeated as necessary and the plant serves as a peaking power plant. It is operated by State Grid Xinyuan Co.

The lower reservoir is created by a  tall and  long earth-fill dam on the Pan Wen River, known as Dahe Reservoir which was first constructed in 1950s or 1960s. It can withhold up to  of water. The upper reservoir is created by a  tall and  long concrete-face rock-fill dam. It can withhold up to  of water, of which  can be used for power production. Water from the upper reservoir is sent to the 1,000 MW underground power station down near the lower reservoir through two  long headrace/penstock pipes. The drop in elevation between the upper and lower reservoir affords a hydraulic head (water drop) of .

title: Sophie Thornhill

text:
Sophie Thornhill,  (born 9 February 1996) is a visually impaired English former racing cyclist who competed in para-cycling tandem track events. She is a double world champion, with pilot Rachel James, and a double Commonwealth gold medallist, with pilot Helen Scott, in the tandem sprint and 1 km time trial events. In April 2014, she set world records in the tandem sprint and 1 km time trial, piloted by James. She retired from competition in 2020.

Biography
Thornhill comes from Poynton near Stockport in Cheshire. She attended Poynton High School, also attended by para-cyclist Sarah Storey, and Loughborough College. She has only 7–9% vision owing to oculocutaneous albinism, which causes visual impairment. She met the para-cyclist Anthony Kappes, also visually impaired, via her uncle; he encouraged her to train as a track cyclist.

Thornhill started racing as an adult in May 2013, aged 17. She raced as the stoker on the back of a tandem, with the front position occupied by a pilot with normal vision. She was initially piloted by English cyclist Helen Scott, with whom she won three British events. In September 2013 she switched to the Welsh cyclist Rachel James as her pilot. Her international debut came with James in December at the International Paracycling Cup in Newport, Wales, where the pair won two gold medals; their time of 1:09.446 in the 1 km time trial missed the world record by 0.73 seconds.

Her first major international competition was the UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships in Aguascalientes, Mexico, in April 2014. Thornhill and James won the gold medal in the tandem 1 km time trial; their time of 1:05.912 broke the world record by a little under 3 seconds. The pair won gold in the sprint, beating the New Zealand pair Emma Foy and Laura Fairweather 2–0 in the semi-final, and the Australian pair Brandie O'Connor and Breanna Hargrave 2–0 in the final. They also broke the world record in the qualifying round of the sprint with a flying start time over 200 metres of 10.854 seconds.

Thornhill was selected for the English team at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, where para-cycling appeared for the first time; at 18, she was the track cycling team's youngest member. As James was competing for the Welsh team, Thornhill returned to Scott as her pilot to compete in the tandem sprint and 1 km time trial events. The pair won the gold medal in the sprint, beating the Australian Paralympic champion Felicity Johnson and pilot Holly Takos 2–0 in the semi-final, and the Scottish pair Aileen McGlynn and Louise Haston 2–0 in the final. They set the Commonwealth record during qualification, with a time of 11.277 seconds. The pair also won gold in the 1 km time trial, with a time of 1:08.187, a Commonwealth Games record. They beat silver medallists McGlynn and Haston by more than 1.5 seconds. Sarah Storey commented: "They had a superbly executed start – they have worked so hard on that aspect of their training – and with the turbo intervals they have done they were able to bring it home strongly."

Thornhill reunited with James to compete in the 2014 British National Track Championships in September, where they won the mixed time trial and the 200-metre flying start time trial for blind and visually impaired riders.

At the 2016 Rio Paralympics Thornhill won gold in the 1km time trial B and bronze in the individual pursuit B, on both occasions alongside Helen Scott.

She was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2017 New Year Honours for services to cycling.

In June 2020 Thornhill announced her retirement from competition, after the 2020 Summer Paralympics were delayed by a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She indicated that she would focus on her educational career, taking up a place to study history at Manchester Metropolitan University in September.

Al-Sa'an (, also spelled as-Si'in and also known as Sa'n al-Shajara) is a Syrian town located in the al-Sa'an Subdistrict in Salamiyah District, located in the Syrian Desert, 50 kilometers northeast of Salamiyah and northeast of Hama. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), al-Sa'an had a population of 3,360 in the 2004 census. Its inhabitants are predominantly Ismailis.

Al-Sa'an was founded in the late 19th century by Ismaili migrants from other parts of northern Syria who chose to settle the place because of worsening economic conditions in the interior parts of Syria, the low taxes that living in the Syrian Desert fringes offered, and the place's proximity to Salamiyah, the center of Ismaili life in Syria. During the Ottoman era, when it was founded, it became the remotest Ismaili village in Syria. At the time, it contained a military post manned by Ottoman troops.

Yuri Leonidovich Belousov (Russian: Ю́рий Леони́дович Бело́усов; November 14, 1945 Chelyabinsk Oblast, USSR — May 4, 2000, Yekaterinburg), Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia, was a researcher and engineer in the field of Materials Science: glass and Glass-ceramic technologies.

Yuri Belousov authored or co-authored numerous books and publications, and earned more than 10 patents and inventions related to new glass-ceramic materials, colored glasses, foam glass and ceramic glazes with high thermal shock resistance for carbon containing materials.

His main achievements, which were developed in the USSR, include a unique method of glass annealing and toughening (together with O.V. Mazurin; see toughened glass, annealing (glass)), obtaining the first USSR free-dust method of sealing of glass ampoules which prevented
the ingress of glass dust into medicinal ampouled preparations (in collaboration with O.V. Mazurin and others). Yuri Belousov is also the main author and creator of a theoretical method of determining viscosity of silicate melts, allowing one to perform theoretical calculations of viscosity and thus predict commercial glass, cement and slag compositions.

Biography and early research work

Yuri Belousov was born in a Ural town of Troitsk, Chelyabinsk Oblast in Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. His father’s family began as Ukrainian peasants (original name was Bilous) from Poltava Governorate who arrived in Ural, Russia, in the early 20th century to receive a portion of land, promised by the Stolypin reform.  His maternal grandfather Gennady Beketov, a descendant of Volga Tatars following the October Revolution, was the first director one a Soviet bank in Saratov Region (now Saratov Oblast). After his death in 1921, his family moved to Ural.

In 1964, Yuri entered the Ural Polytechnic Institute (later Ural State Technical University (USTU)), Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg) in the department of Glass Technology.  After graduation, continued his postgraduate studies there. In 1974, he defended his doctoral thesis in the field of glass ceramics made of industrial slags. In 1975, he started to work in one of the Research Institutes of Ural where successfully developed refractory].

In 1978, his research was documented in a film by Sverdlovsk Film Studio.

In the end of 70s, he accepted an offer on work by Vilen Ivakhnyuk, an internationally recognized researcher, who made a scientific discovery, a founder and the first director of Belgorod Technological Institute of Constructional Materials (former BTISM), now Belgorod Shukhov University.

Main achievements and inventions

Belousov wrote the book The Annealing and Tempering of Glass, a popular and famous manual among engineers.  This book, devoted to a new method of glass treatment, became a respected reference guide for specialists and researchers in other related industries.
Based on this method, in 1988, Yu. Belousov, O.V. Mazurin and others developed USSR’s first technology of a glass dust-free method of sealing glass ampoules, which significantly decreased contamination in medicinal ampouled preparations.  This invention was first introduced at one of the Soviet biopharmaceutical plants currently belonging to the Russian concern VEROPHARM.

By the end of 80s, Yuri Belousov and his colleagues resolved an issue of exploding  glass sparkling wine bottles which had caused serious lacerations to workers in wine bottling facilities in Ukraine.

Yuri Belousov’s main achievement was development a method of calculating the viscosity of glassy melts based on known equations of viscosity. Before anyone else, Yu. Belousov gathered, described and compiled a data base of viscosity values of glasses and slags.  Then, using Arrhenius equation, he developed the basic principles and a formulaic calculation algorithm of the viscosity of melts, which provided a fairly precise measurement.  The method is based on the theoretical viscosity values of melts of binary, ternary, quaternary and more complex oxide phase diagrams of the silicate systems. It allowed to avoid the current, expensive processes for determining viscosity in practice.

Under his guidance, his post-graduate students prepared several Ph.D. theses, three of which were defended after his death.

Yuri Belousov died in 2000 in the age of 54 due to poor health.

In recognition of his great contribution to the technology of Silicate materials field, in 1983, Yuri Belousov was awarded the Silver Medal of the main Soviet state exhibition VDNKh (Russia), the Exhibition of Achievements of the People's Economy.

His daughter followed his steps: she became a professional engineer (P. Eng.) in the field of ceramics and refractories, she lives and works in Canada.
