title: Meremäe Hill

text:
Meremäe Hill () is a hillock in southeastern Estonia. Located on Vaaksaare upland, that belongs to the eastern part of Haanja Upland. Height from sea-level is 204 m.

Vaaksaare uplands is a moraine hillock, where agricultural patches alternate with forests and meadows. Meremäe Hill is situated on the border of Kalatsova and Mereküla village. A large part of Setomaa can be seen from the Hill in clear weather, as well as Vastseliina church and Pachory Monastery church domes. Reflection of water from Lake Pskov can also be seen in clear weather, which is probably how the area got its name - by assuming that the reflection was sea (Meremäe – Sea Hill). In 2008, Meremäe rural municipality government built a viewing tower on the Hill and a song stage. Meremäe viewing tower was built in 2008 and is an 18-metre high wooden tower with a shingle roof. The song stage and grounds at the foot of the tower have St. John's day and other events held there every year.

title: Pyrgadikia

text:
Pyrgadikia () is a Greek village in the Chalkidiki peninsula. It is located in the south-east part of Chalkidiki (approximately 110 km south-east of Thessaloniki), built on the coast of Siggitikos bay (part of Aegean sea). It is part of the Aristotelis municipality and the Panagia municipal unit. The population of the village is 320 residents according to 2011 census. The central church of the village is dedicated to Panagia and celebrated every year on the eight of September.

History

The name of the village probably derives from the phrase "peri Gardikeia" (around Gardikeia) that ended up to Pyrgadikeia and finally Pyrgadikia. During the Byzantine era, the village was mentioned by its current name. After the Greco-Turkish War,  many refugees from the village of Afthoni (located on the Marmara Island) relocated to Pyrgadikia. Today the educational and cultural society of Pyrgadikia is named Afthoni after the village of the same name.

Historical population

Tourism
The primary occupation of the residents is providing tourist services. The village includes a very inviting Plaka area where tourists dine and relax.  In addition, the village is surrounded by many beautiful beaches. Some of the nearby beaches include Salonikios Beach, Gyalikes Beach, Eirini Beach, Agios Theodoros Beach and Latomeio Beach.  The most well known beach is Campus Beach.

title: Jaanikivi

text:
Jaanikivi ('St John's stone') is a sacrificial stone in Võru County, Meremäe rural municipality in Miikse village near Miikse church by Miikse Stream in Estonia.

General information
It is said that Saint John himself once sat on the rock, resting his feet. Even today some people believe that the stone has miraculous powers and sick persons are brought to the stone and a sore hand or foot pressed against its surface. The spring water from the Miikse Stream flowing near St. John's Stone (the so-called eye spring) is also believed to have a healing effect. St John’s stone is registered as an archaeological monument.  During the time of Baltic-German landlords, the local landlord dismantled the rock into pieces and took the pieces in the cow-shelter wall. This kind of conduct, however, brought ruin and illnesses among the manor herd, so the landlord had the pieces of the rock taken back to its place.

Lore
Information in Eisen folklore poetry collection dating back to 1915:
In Vastseliina parish, near Meeksi village (a Seto village near Pihkva border) by a small stream, that separates Liivi province from Pihkva province, there is a stone, where Seto people still bring sacrifices. The stone stands in Liivi province. It is called St John’s Stone. People say: St John used to sleep on the stone. Every St John’s Day, a Russian priest comes to the stone and Seto people from every corner of Setumaa come to the stone and bring sacrifice to St John. The sacrifices are mostly butter and eggs. If Servitude of God be ended, the priest takes half the sacrifice and the other half is for the poor. When Servitude of God is held, the river is said to have holy water in it and if the ill wash themselves in the water, the illness disappears. At one time, when a cow-shelter was made in Meeksi village, a piece was taken from St John’s stone and laid in the wall, so that cows would not die. When the shelter was finished, every year two-three cows still died. Then the piece of St John’s stone was taken from the wall and there were no deaths among the animals anymore. (E 49367 (1) < Vastseliina region — R. Tamm (1915))

According to the lore originating from 1953, cottage cheese and wool made exactly for this purpose were taken to the St John’s stone:
A week before St John’s Day, St John’s milk was taken: the milk was skimmed and cottage cheese was made. It was taken to Meeksi and placed on the St John’s stone. Wool was also placed on the stone. Whatever was taken on the stone, the poor got for their own after. Those, who had something wrong with them, drove to Meeksi St John’s stone on St John’s Day. Who had something wrong with their eyes, wiped their eyes with a towel and put the towel on the stone. A spring is near the stone, water was taken from there to moisten (hämmäma) the eyes. (RKM II 44, 481/2 (11) < Vastseliina region, Obinitsa < Setumaa, Navike village — U. Mägi < Anna Kuusik, about 70 y (1953)).

The site features in a description provided in The Golden Bough by James George Frazer (with a reference to a "James Piggul, steward of the estate of Panikovitz, in a report to Baron de Bogouschefsky, Journal of the Anthropological Institute, iii. (1874) pp. 274 sq."):

"On the rivulet Micksy, between the governments of Pskov and Livonia in Russia, there stood a stunted, withered, but holy oak, which received the homage of the neighbouring peasantry down at least to 1874. An eyewitness has described the ceremonies. He found a great crowd of people, chiefly Esthonians of the Greek Church, assembled with their families about the tree, all dressed in gala costume. Some of them had brought wax candles and were fastening them about the trunk and in the branches. Soon a priest arrived, and, having donned his sacred robes, proceeded to sing a canticle, such as is usually sung in the Orthodox Church in honour of saints. But instead of saying as usual, "Holy saint, pray the Lord for us," he said, "Holy Oak Hallelujah, pray for us." Then he incensed the tree all round. During the service the tapers on the oak were lighted, and the people, throwing themselves on the ground, adored the holy tree. When the pastor had retired, his flock remained till late at night, feasting, drinking, dancing, and lighting fresh tapers on the oak, till everybody was drunk and the proceedings ended in an orgy."

title: EMD GT38ACe

text:
The EMD GT38AC (known as CC205 in Indonesia) diesel-electric locomotives are made by Electro-Motive Diesel for export in Indonesia. There are 91 locomotives owned by the state-owned Indonesian Railway Company (PT Kereta Api Indonesia), all of them are for in Sumatra and replace the aging EMD G26. It's also one of two most advanced-technology locomotive in Indonesia (another one is GE CM20EMP).

History
PT Kereta Api Indonesia has operated some EMD G26 (G26MC-2U, or known in Indonesia as CC 202) since 1986 and some of them began to break down due to their ages and severe works. In 2011, PT Kereta Api Indonesia began to look for the replacements of G26MC-2U; more powerful and advanced locomotives than G26MC-2Us. After several auction processes, EMD won the contract to build more powerful locomotives with AC traction technology for PT. KAI.

Numbering
Older locomotives were numbered as CC 205 01 to CC 205 55 (including the bonus unit). But, due to the most recent regulation of the Ministry of Transportation, then the numbering system is changed according to its arrival year. The newer locomotives used new numbering system from the Ministry of Transportation (CC 205 21 01 - CC 205 21 36).

 The First Arrival (2011)
In this year, the first six locomotives arrived. Their numberings were CC 205 01 to CC 205 06. However, to comply with the most recent regulation, the numberings were changed into CC 205 11 01 to CC 205 11 06
 The Second Arrival (2013)
There were 44 locomotives arriving in this year. Their numberings were CC 205 07 to CC 205 50. However, to comply with the most recent regulation, the numbering were changed into CC 205 13 01 to CC 205 13 44.
 The Bonus Unit (2014)
The five bonus units arrived in 2014. These units were numbered as CC 205 51 to CC 205 55. However, to comply with the most recent regulation, the numberings were changed into CC 205 14 01 to CC 205 14 05.
 The Third / The Last Arrival
There were 36 locomotives arrived in 2021. Their numberings were CC 205 21 01 to CC 205 21 36.

Performance
The CC205s can haul up more than 48 (forty-eight) coal hoppers in single-traction mode, and 80 coal hoppers in double-traction mode. Thanks to the AC Traction technology, the locomotives can generate output more than 2,200 HP (bigger than its predecessor, CC202) and starting tractive effort of as much as 450 kN. But, even with such a big power like that, stations in South Sumatra and Lampung cannot accommodate more than 60 coal hoppers, due to the yard-length limit in every station in South Sumatra and Lampung.

In their daily operations, two CC205s are coupled together using Multiple Unit for easier haul, especially on steep grades. Unlike other locomotives in Indonesia, CC205 has met EPA Tier 2 emission regulation and is more efficient up to 25% - thanks to the latest generation of EMD 710G3 engine that employs an electronic fuel injection system and several tweaks on the exhaust system. The maximum speed of this locomotive is 50 mph (80 km/h), but it operates normally at 19-37 mph (30–60 km/h) due to the total gross weight of the entire cars coupled to CC205s. With the same amount of payload tonnage, two units of CC205s can replace three units of CC202s for hauling 60 coal hoppers, with one hopper has 50 tons maximum payload.

Builders
All of the first batch locomotives were built at EMD Plant in London, Ontario. Later batches came from EMD Plant at Muncie, Indiana.

Features
All of the CC205s have a distinctive Perumka/PT Kereta Api's 1990s-style red-and-blue livery, similar to the CC201s and CC202s allocated at South Sumatran railway. Inside the cab, old school side controller has been replaced with more modern cab with EM2000 computer system and digital display. CC205s also equipped with an automatic engine start/stop (AESS) system, which is the first type of locomotives in Indonesia using AESS, and makes CC205 be the most efficients locomotive in fuel usage.

Bonus Units and Reorder for PT. Kereta Api Indonesia
In 2014, PT. KAI received 5 (five) more EMD GT38AC from Progress Rail - EMD as bonus units. These bonus units were given free by Progress Rail - EMD as their compensation of responsibility due to the lateness of delivery (off-schedule) of 44 (forty-four) EMD GT38AC ordered by PT. KAI to Indonesia in 2013. As a result, PT. KAI has 55 units GT38AC's; 50 were purchased and 5 were bonus. All 55 (fifty-five) units of GT38AC's owned by PT. KAI are in service, hauling coal trains in Sumatra.

On April 16, 2020, PT Kereta Indonesia (PT KAI) has signed a contract for 36 new GT38AC freight locomotives, expanding the public railway operator's existing GT Series fleet. 36 new locomotives will go into service for PT KAI's South Sumatra coal haulage operations and join more than 50 other GT38AC locomotives already operating in this service since 2011. Delivery of the locomotives expected in late 2021, and arrived in Panjang Harbour, Lampung, Indonesia on June 19, 2021, June 26, 2021, and September 22–24, 2021.

Other Operator
In February 2015, Congo-Ocean Railway taking delivery of 10 GT38AC locomotives that have similar specifications to PT KAI locomotives except for some small technical differences, particularly in their fuel management system (Note: the type of the Indonesian locomotives is GT38ACe, while the ones for Congo is GT38AC)

Incident and accidents

title: Arthur Charles Alfred Norman

text:
Arthur Charles Alfred Norman (1858-1944), often referred to as A. C. Norman, was a British architect who was active in Malaya at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of 20th century.  Some of the most important colonial era buildings of Kuala Lumpur built in that period were credited to him, although many of these also involved other architects of the period.

Early life
A. C. Norman was born in 1858 and grew in Plymouth, England.  He was taught architecture by his father Alfred Norman and worked as his assistant in the years 1874–1878. He also worked under E. D. Bellamy, Consulting Engineer to Corporation of Plymouth. From 1879 to 1883 he worked as Inspector of Buildings and draughtsman to the Borough Engineer of Plymouth.  He achieved his professional qualification when he was made an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects (ARIBA) on 23 May 1881 when he was 23.

Career in architecture

In 1883, he left England and went to work in the Selangor Public Works Department as the Assistant Superintendent to civil engineer H.F. Bellamy, and became the Government Architect in 1890.

He worked under the auspices of the Malaysian Public Works Department (PWD) until 1903, during which some of the colony's most distinguished public buildings were built. He became a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects (FRIBA) on 27 July 1896.

During his tenure in the Public Works Department, many of the buildings erected by the department has an eclectic style known as Indo-Saracenic. The earliest and most prominent example of this style of architecture in Malaya is the Sultan Abdul Samad Building.  As Norman held the position of the Government Architect, many buildings built in the period were credited to him, but were in fact largely the work of his subordinates such as  Arthur Benison Hubback and R. A. J. Bidwell.

In 1903, when he was 45, Norman was compulsorily retired on ground of inefficiency.  He returned to England, where he continued to practice as an architect in Norwich and Plymouth. In 1928 he was elected the President of Devon Architectural Society. He died on 17 October 1944.

Buildings

During his time of service, Arthur Charles Alfred Norman contributed to the design of some of Malaysia’s most important buildings in the historic core of Kuala Lumpur lining the perimeter of Merdeka Square.

Works credited to him include:
 Royal Selangor Club (1890) – later replaced by a building of A. B. Hubback's design in 1910.
 Residence of the British Resident of Selangor  (1888) – now part of Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Memorial.
 Victoria Institution (1893) – the current VI building on a different location is by Swan and Maclaren, and the older building by Norman is now a cultural centre.
 St. Mary's Church (1894)
 Pudu Prison (1895, largely demolished with the main gate preserved as a heritage structure)
 National Textile Museum (1895)
 Panggung Bandaraya DBKL (1896)
 Sultan Abdul Samad Building (1897)
 Kuala Lumpur Library (1909)

Some of these, such as the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, were designed to a large extent by others, and he received the credit for these buildings as he was the State Architect at the time.  Works attributed to him and known to be by his own hand include St. Mary's Church.

Assessment
A. C. Norman's most significant structure is the Sultan Abdul Samad Building. Built between 1894 and 1897, it is located in front of Independence Square, Jalan Raja, Kuala Lumpur.   Prior to the work of Norman, Bidwell and Hubback, the onion dome did not exist in the Peninsular Malaysia.  Their work introduced to the Malayan peninsula a new architectural vocabulary which is now seen as part of the region's architectural heritage. For most of the 20th century, it was Malaysia's most iconic structure. Norman however was only responsible for the ground plan, the elevations of the building is largely the work of R. A. J. Bidwell.  Furthermore, the Indo-Saracenic style, first introduced to Kuala Lumpur in the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, came as a result of a suggestion by the State Engineer of Selangor Public Works Department Charles Edwin Spooner.  Hubback was originally hired to work as a draftsman in the Malaysian Public Works Department and worked on many buildings for the department. Hubback later became the department's lead architect, and eclipsing Norman who previously held the position with his building designs.

According to historian J. M. Gullick, Norman was a man of modest ability and did not have the flair and originality required for many of the works attributed to him.  Norman applied twice for promotion and was refused both times – on his second attempt, the then British Resident of Selangor J. C. Belfied noted that it was "misleading" for Norman to claim credit for many of the works as "Mr. Norman had little or nothing to do with their design or construction in a number of instances".

title: Havel–Hakimi algorithm

text:
The Havel–Hakimi algorithm is an algorithm in graph theory solving the graph realization problem. That is, it answers the following question: Given a finite list of nonnegative integers in non-increasing order, is there a simple graph such that its degree sequence is exactly this list? A simple graph contains no double edges or loops. The degree sequence is a list of numbers in nonincreasing order indicating the number of edges incident to each vertex in the graph. If a simple graph exists for exactly the given degree sequence, the list of integers is called graphic. The Havel-Hakimi algorithm constructs a special solution if a simple graph for the given degree sequence exists, or proves that one cannot find a positive answer. This construction is based on a recursive algorithm. The algorithm was published by , and later by .

The algorithm
The Havel-Hakimi algorithm is based on the following theorem.

Let  be a finite list of nonnegative integers that is nonincreasing. Let  be a second finite list of nonnegative integers that is rearranged to be nonincreasing. List  is graphic if and only if list  is graphic.

If the given list  is graphic, then the theorem will be applied at most  times setting in each further step . Note that it can be necessary to sort this list again. This process ends when the whole list  consists of zeros. Let  be a simple graph with the degree sequence : Let the vertex  have degree ; let the vertices  have respective degrees ; let the vertices  have respective degrees . In each step of the algorithm, one constructs the edges of a graph with vertices —i.e., if it is possible to reduce the list  to , then we add edges . When the list  cannot be reduced to a list  of nonnegative integers in any step of this approach, the theorem proves that the list  from the beginning is not graphic.

Proof
The following is a summary based on the proof of the Havel-Hakimi algorithm in Invitation to Combinatorics (Shahriari 2022).

To prove the Havel-Hakimi algorithm always works, assume that  is graphic, and there exists a simple graph  with the degree sequence . Then we add a new vertex  adjacent to the  vertices with degrees  to obtain the degree sequence .

To prove the other direction, assume that  is graphic, and there exists a simple graph  with the degree sequence  and vertices . We do not know which  vertices are adjacent to , so we have two possible cases.

In the first case,  is adjacent to the vertices  in . In this case, we remove  with all its incident edges to obtain the degree sequence .

In the second case,  is not adjacent to some vertex  for some  in . Then we can change the graph  so that  is adjacent to  while maintaining the same degree sequence . Since  has degree , the vertex  must be adjacent to some vertex  in  for : Let the degree of  be . We know , as the degree sequence  is in non-increasing order.

Since , we have two possibilities: Either , or . If  , then by switching the places of the vertices  and , we can adjust  so that  is adjacent to  instead of  If , then since  is adjacent to more vertices than , let another vertex  be adjacent to  and not . Then we can adjust  by removing the edges  and , and adding the edges  and . This modification preserves the degree sequence of , but the vertex  is now adjacent to  instead of . In this way, any vertex not connected to  can be adjusted accordingly so that  is adjacent to  while maintaining the original degree sequence  of . Thus any vertex not connected to  can be connected to  using the above method, and then we have the first case once more, through which we can obtain the degree sequence . Hence,  is graphic if and only if  is also graphic.

Examples
Let  be a nonincreasing, finite degree sequence of nonnegative integers. To test whether this degree sequence is graphic, we apply the Havel-Hakimi algorithm:

First, we remove the vertex with the highest degree — in this case,  —  and all its incident edges to get  (assuming the vertex with highest degree is adjacent to the  vertices with next highest degree). We rearrange this sequence in nonincreasing order to get . We repeat the process, removing the vertex with the next highest degree to get  and rearranging to get . We continue this removal to get , and then . This sequence is clearly graphic, as it is the simple graph of  isolated vertices.

To show an example of a non-graphic sequence, let  be a nonincreasing, finite degree sequence of nonnegative integers. Applying the algorithm, we first remove the degree  vertex and all its incident edges to get . Already, we know this degree sequence is not graphic, since it claims to have  vertices with one vertex not adjacent to any of the other vertices; thus, the maximum degree of the other vertices is . This means that two of the vertices are connected to all the other vertices with the exception of the isolated one, so the minimum degree of each vertex should be ; however, the sequence claims to have a vertex with degree . Thus, the sequence is not graphic.

For the sake of the algorithm, if we were to reiterate the process, we would get  which is yet more clearly not graphic. One vertex claims to have a degree of , and yet only two other vertices have neighbors. Thus the sequence cannot be graphic.

title: 1st Florida Cavalry Regiment (Union)

text:
The 1st Florida Cavalry Regiment was a cavalry regiment from Florida that served in the Union Army from October 29, 1863 – November 17, 1865 during the American Civil War.

Organization and Recruitment
The regiment was formed by General Nathaniel P. Banks on October 29, 1863. Recruitment and organization of the unit began at Fort Barrancas and lasted from December, 1863 to August, 1864. It was attached to the 2nd and 3rd Brigades, District West Florida, Army of the Gulf until January 1865, and to the 2nd Brigade of John P. Lucas' Cavalry Division until May 1865.

The unit was composed primarily of men from southern Alabama and northwestern Florida and 81% of the initial recruits came from only nine counties in the two aforementioned regions. By the end of the war, the unit had recruited more than 700 men.

Recruitment of the unit started in December of 1863, when a recruiting station was established on the far east side of Santa Rosa Island. By February of 1864, the regiment number 207 men with thirty more on their way. However, recruitment was slowed because there was a lack of cash to pay the recruits' bounties.

Service
The regiment saw action in the surrounding area of Fort Barrancas. In 1864, such action included a July 21–25 expedition to Pollard, Alabama, a September 18 – October 4 expedition to Marianna, Florida, an October 25–28 expedition up Blackwater Bay, a November 16–17 expedition to Pine Barren Creek, and a December 13–14 expedition to Pollard. In 1865, the unit went on a February 22–25 expedition to Milton, Florida before taking part in the March 18 – April 9 campaign against Mobile, Alabama and its defenses. This campaign included action at the Battle of Newton and the Battle of Fort Blakely. After the occupation of Mobile on April 12, the regiment marched towards Montgomery, Alabama. It served in Alabama until May when it was ordered back to Barrancas, from where the regiment continued to serve in Western and Middle Florida. The regiment was mustered out on November 17, 1865.

title: Make wall

text:
Make wall (also known as Möldre wall) is a sandstone outcrop on the bank of the Piusa River in Estonia, up to 12 metres high, the height of the bank stretches up to 17 metres.

Make wall is one of the protected natural features of the Piusa River ancient valley landscape protection area.  The outcrop is situated in Vastseliina rural municipality, about 300 metres downstream from Make mill in Möldri village.  Make mill was named for Hendrik Make, who established the watermill and a sawframe in 1883.  Since 1900, the mill had an operating wool industry on the second floor.  Make wall is one of the highest and most beautiful outcrops in the southern part of the protected area.

Make wall is an Upper Devonian sandstone outcrop of the Gauja Formation.  The Gauja Formation is up to 183 metres thick and consists of quartz sand, multicolour clay, and fine-grained mellow clastic rocks, that has yielded remnants of fish and flora.  The Gauja Formation sands settled in the retreating sea during the 50-70 million years of the Devonian period (began 410 million years ago).  As Devonian sandstone has relatively crumbly structure, the sandstone outcrops surrender to erosion fairly easily.

title: Season Sayonara

text:
, stylised in English as "Season SAYONARA", is a song by Japanese rock band Tokyo Jihen, led by musician Ringo Sheena. It was one of the promotional songs for the band's fourth album Sports, released on February 24, 2010.

Background and development

In 2009, Tokyo Jihen released the single "Nōdōteki Sanpunkan", which was their first song to feature in commercials for Ezaki Glico's
Watering Kissmint brand of gum. The Sports album was first announced on December 15, 2009. The first promotional song from the album was "Kachi Ikusa", released on January 16, 2010, and used in Watering Kissmint commercials.

Guitarist Ukigumo had previously written songs for the band's Variety album in 2007, most notably the single "OSCA". While vocalist Ringo Sheena typically either composed or wrote lyrics for Tokyo Jihen songs, "Season Sayonara" is an example of a song written entirely by Ukigumo.

Writing and production

The song was one of four compositions written by Ukigumo that appear on Sports, including the songs "Fair", "Foul" and "Kimaru". "Season Sayonara" and "Foul" were two songs that were part of Ukigumo's already existing stock of songs, that were not written specifically for the album. These two were songs that vocalist Ringo Sheena had heard in the past, and considered "sporty", fitting the theme of the album. "Season Sayonara" and "Fair" were the first two songs recorded for the album (excluding "Senkō Shōjo", which was recorded during the Variety sessions) Ukigumo liked Ichiyo Izawa's piano backing for the song, as he had struggled to consider how he himself could back the song on the guitar.

The song is primarily sung in Japanese by vocalist Sheena, with additional background vocals by Ukigumo. Lyrically, the song deals with someone looking back at a failed relationship, while making references to different seasons.

Promotion and release

The song was first released digitally to cellphones on February 8, 2010. This was the same day that "Denpa Tsūshin" was released to cellphones, and that the song "Sweet Spot" was released to iTunes. The song was first performed as a part of the set-list for their Ultra C tour in 2010, and also featured on their farewell Bon Voyage tour in 2012.

Critical reception

CDJournal felt the song's "vague sadness" was part of its charm, and described it as an "upper pop" song. Yoshiki Aoyuki of Listenmusic noted the song's "jazzy piano" and 8 beat drums.

Commercial reception

The song began receiving airplay in February 2010, peaking at number 11 and charting for four weeks on Billboard'''s top airplay chart. In the same period, it charted for a single week at adult contemporary radio stations, peaking at number 7. This resulted in the song debuting at number 13 on the Japan Hot 100. "Season Sayonara" was the most successful promotional single from Sports, beating "Kachi Ikusa" which had peaked at number 30, and "Denpa Tsūshin" and "Sweet Spot", neither of which charted.

title: Libreboot

text:
Libreboot (briefly known as GNU Libreboot) is a free software project based on coreboot, aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS firmware contained by most computers. Libreboot is a lightweight system designed to perform only the minimum number of tasks necessary to load and run a modern 32-bit or 64-bit operating system.

Characteristics
Libreboot is established as a distribution of coreboot, but with some proprietary binary blobs removed from coreboot. Libreboot makes coreboot easy to use by automating the build and installation processes.

On some devices, Libreboot developers have reverse engineered the firmware from Intel and created a utility to create a free firmware that meets the specifications from Intel. Hardware support includes but is not limited to the ASUS KGPE-D16, ThinkPad T400, X60 and X200. Libreboot is officially endorsed by the upstream coreboot project.

History
The Libreboot project was started in December 2013 as a distribution of coreboot, which excludes non-free binary blobs. Coreboot began as LinuxBIOS in 1999 at Los Alamos National Labs (LANL), and was renamed "coreboot" in 2008.

Libreboot has been endorsed by the Free Software Foundation, and was an official part of the GNU Project since May 2016. In January 2017, the project's maintainer Leah Rowe pulled Libreboot from the GNU Project, after a months-long dispute with the Free Software Foundation which oversees GNU.

Reception
In 2015, Kyle Rankin stated in Linux Journal that Libreboot "greatly simplified and automated" the flashing process, "with a few caveats". In 2016, Bryan Cockfield stated in Hackaday that Libreboot installation was "harrowing" and "not as easy as you'd think".

title: The Science Academy Society of Turkey

text:
The Science Academy Society (Bilim Akademisi Derneği) is an independent, private, self-governing organization founded on November 25, 2011 in Istanbul, Turkey.

The Association, referred to from here on as the Science Academy Society, is an independent institution that aims to bring together Turkish scientists. The Science Academy Society aims to raise public awareness about issues related to science practices, policies, education and ethics by organizing and overseeing conferences, meetings and publications by experts. Its main objective is to inform the general public and the institutions at large on the impact as well as the societal implications of scientific and scholarly research.

The Science Academy Society became an associate member of All European Academies (ALLEA) in 2014, and a full member in 2017. It is also a member of the International Science Council.

Foundation
The Science Academy Society was founded when the Turkish Academy of Sciences (Türkiye Bilimler Akademisi, TÜBA) lost its autonomous status following executive decrees on August 27, 2011, and November 3, 2011, which stipulated the appointment of TÜBA members by government agencies.

A large fraction of the regular, honorary and associate members of TÜBA then resigned on the grounds that TÜBA had lost the quality of being an independent academy of science.

Seventeen of these resigned TÜBA members founded the Science Academy Society on November 25, 2011, joined shortly after by most of the other resigned members.

Members
The Science Academy Society has presently a total of 144 full members (86 from the fields of natural sciences, mathematics and engineering, 35 from social sciences and humanities, 23 from medical sciences) and 38 honorary members, three of whom are Nobel Laureates (Martin Chalfie, Chemistry 2008; Peter Diamond, Economics 2010; John Polanyi, Chemistry 1986).

Activities
The Science Academy Society engages in the following activities:

 Organization of annual and monthly public conferences online and also in İstanbul and Ankara. The presentations and video recordings of these conferences are openly shared on the web page of the association.

 Investigative reports, prepared by members of the Science Academy and addressing events concerning current economic and scientific developments, are regularly published on the website of the Academy.

 In cooperation with Boğaziçi University, the Science Academy also organizes the Feza Gürsey Summer Schools on topics ranging from cosmology to mathematics.

 The Science Academy Society Young Scientists Program (BAGEP) provides grants to financially support the research of promising young scientists and scholars. The program is entirely funded by donations from many individuals and private foundations, and as such, it is the first of its kind in Turkey.

title: Sakata Minato-za

text:
The  is a cinema in Sakata, Yamagata, Japan; it was the first to open in the city. Established as a playhouse in 1887, it became a cinema in 1910 and was popular in the 1970s. After a period of decreased patronage, in 2002 it was shut down. After the cinema was used as a filming location for Yōjirō Takita's 2008 film Departures, public interest in the site was revived; the cinema reopened in 2009.

History

Showman Shinkichi Nagasaki had the Minato-za theatre building constructed in Sakata Harbour in 1887.  It could seat up to a thousand people, and came to be known as the leading theatre in the Tōhoku region of northern Japan, holding drama and kabuki performances.  Sake brewery Kanakyū was involved in the management of the theatre, and when Satō Kyūkichi II inherited the family business he also took over management of Minato-za.  Satō had high standing in Sakata, and spent time as the head of both the Sakata municipal council and Chamber of Commerce.  His strong ties with the theatre industry led to him taking under his care the sons of the theatre industry chairman when they had to evacuate their homes during World War II.  The boys were future actors Tomisaburo Wakayama and Shintaro Katsu.

In 1910 Satō had the theatre adapted to screen films; it was the first cinema in Sakata. This building burnt down in 1954, but was immediately rebuilt. The cinema specialized in Japanese films by companies such as Matsutake and Toei. A source of pride was that films debuted at Minato-za at the same time they appeared in Tokyo and other large cities; at the time this was unusual. Minato-za had competition from Satō's estranged son Kyūichi, who at some point opened Green House, a cinema specializing in Western films.

The theatre was a hub of activity in Sakata during the early 1970s and welcomed many patrons; at the time it was one of five active cinemas in the city. It would often screen films while their Tokyo runs were still ongoing, which was a source of pride to the Sakata populace. In 1976 the harbour area around Minato-za burned to the ground, consuming Green House and two other competing cinemas. Minato-za, however, survived. The cinema soon had three screens of varying sizes: one for an audience of 180, one for an audience of 80, and one for an audience of 30 people. Over the following decades a diversification in available entertainment venues, such as television and multiplex theatres with large parking lots, led to a decline in patronage. In 2002 the Sakata Minato-za, the last cinema in the city, was closed.

In 2008 the non-profit Sakata Location Box, tasked with finding shooting locations for the film Departures, acquired the building, which was little more than an abandoned shell; the film's director, Yōjirō Takita, agreed to take the property on after his first viewing. Minato-za was restored and ultimately used to shoot a scene in which the main character, Daigo (played by Masahiro Motoki), portrays a corpse for a training video.

After the box office and Academy Awards success of Departures, its filming locations – including Minato-za – became popular tourist attractions. In June 2009 the cinema was reopened as Sakata Minato-za as part of an event termed the "Sakata Minato-za Revival Festival" ("港座復活祭"); Takita described the cinema's reopening as being "like something out of a movie". Since then the cinema has hosted new screenings, using a DVD player and projector as the original system had decayed too much. It is also used for other activities.  On days when not hosting film-viewing events for local groups, the cinema – which has 映像とサウンドのきらめき ("Glittering Images and Sound") written on the facade – is open to the public and tour groups.

As part of the efforts to resurrect cinema-going as a downtown activity, local restaurants have offered discounts for customers who present ticket stubs.  Seki Kōichi of Sakata Location Box expressed hope in 2010 of someday holding a film festival at Minato-za, with the goal of cultivating future filmmakers.

title: MTV VMA Score 2005

text:
MTV VMA Score 2005 is a two-part soundtrack album for the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards. The score was written and produced by Mike Shinoda and Lil Jon. An EP was released on August 31, 2005, in support of the award function. The soundtrack was available for download on the website of MTV during 2005–2006, but the whole album was not available anywhere, so Shinoda released it separately for streaming on his official website on March 1, 2010.

Background
This is the first score by Shinoda, as well as Lil Jon. This was released during the period when Linkin Park went on hiatus and Shinoda was working on his side project Fort Minor from 2004 to 2006. In response to a January 2010 post on LPLive about the unreleased VMA tracks, on March 1, 2010, Mike posted on his blog,

Mike Shinoda invited his fans to sing or rap on these songs posted on his website. The SoundCloud page said,

Content
In the score release, fans were treated to new score tracks as well as longer versions of the ones that were released by MTV. The unreleased track from the MTV VMA's turned out to be "Teletronic", and the one from the LPU 9 video called "Catharsis".

In EP, the opening song is a short instrumental version of the song "100 Degrees", which was written by Shinoda from his Fort Minor mixtape We Major. A long version of the song was used in the score and the name was changed to "Hive". The song "Hype" was also released in the limited edition of the EP by Fort Minor, entitled Militia.

In the score album, there was an unreleased track, which is not yet known. It was also not included by Shinoda in score. It was going to be the third track of the score.

title: A Spoonful of Sherman

text:
A Spoonful of Sherman is a musical revue written and emceed by Robert J. Sherman which premiered on January 6, 2014 at the St. James Theatre in London.

The cast consisted of four rising West End theatre stars including Charlotte Wakefield, Emma Williams, Stuart Matthew Price and Greg Castiglioni.  Musical Direction was provided by Colin Billing and the show was directed by Stewart Nicholls. Lighting was designed by the show's Stage Manager Andrew Holton. In the 2017 version of the show, focus of the show's narrative shifted to both Sherman Brothers' lives as well as to the life of their father, Al Sherman.

Premise
The show covers ninety years of Sherman songwriting (including material written by the Sherman Brothers' father, Al Sherman (who began writing music in the early 1920s). Songs written by the younger Robert Sherman were also included in the show as well) but the focus of the evening was the music and lyrics of Robert B. Sherman and the Sherman Brothers.

Productions

2014 Productions
The show was originally produced by MusicWorld (UK) in association with the St. James Theatre, James Albrecht, Creative Director. Joanne Benjamin and Clive Chenery of The Entertainment Business provided General Management.

The show was successful enough to merit further shows be scheduled for April 2014.

2017 Production
A Spoonful of Sherman returned to London from August 7–20, 2017 at "Live at Zédel". Helena Blackman and Daniel Boys starred alongside pianist/singer Christopher Hamilton. Narrating the show once again was Robert J. Sherman. While the book for the two 2014 productions largely remained the same, in the 2017 version, Sherman modified his script, removing emphasis on his father, Robert B. Sherman's life and making the story more about both Sherman Brothers (Robert and Richard) and their Tin Pan Alley era songwriter father, Al Sherman.  New musical arrangements were provided by Rowland Lee.  Robert J. Sherman explained that changes had to do with the evolution of the show's purpose for being.  In 2014 the show was designed merely to serve as a "happy memorial" to his recently deceased songwriter father, Robert B. Sherman, but as the show grew, it began to take on a life of its own, the purpose, and therefore, the focus of the show needed to change as well.

2019 Licensed Productions
In late 2018 the previous year's UK/Ireland tour version was made available for professional license. In April 2019 A Spoonful of Sherman made its U.S. premiere in San Jose, California.  The San Jose run played for five weeks at the 3Below Stages featuring veteran Bay Area performers, Shannon Guggenheim, Stephen Guggenheim, Susan Gundunas, F. James Raasch, Teresa Swain and pianist Barry Koron.  In July 2019 it was announced that a licensed production of A Spoonful of Sherman would be presented by Sing'Theatre at School of the Arts in Singapore starring Hossan Leong, Mina Ellen Kaye, George Chan, Aaron Khaled and Vanessa Kee.

title: WaterHealth International

text:
WaterHealth International is a private, American multinational corporation headquartered in Irvine, California. The company operates as a social business that provides drinking water to communities in primarily rural areas. WaterHealth purifies and retails water through decentralized plants termed "WaterHealth Center," which serve an average consumer base of 10000. The company has installed around 500 WaterHealth Centers primarily in India, but also in Bangladesh, Ghana, Nigeria, and Liberia. Daily output of purified water across all of the WaterHealth Centers falls around 1.4 million liters.

The company was founded in 1995 as a market development firm that operated primarily in Mexico and the Philippines. By 2002 and 2003, however, the company reoriented its focus to water retailing services and began to center more heavily in Asia and Africa. The company currently operates through wholly owned subsidiaries like WaterHealth India and WaterHealth Ghana.

History

WaterHealth was founded in 1995. The company began its operations when it won the bid to use a new Ultraviolet (UV) disinfectant technology invented by Ashok Gadgil, a researcher at the University of California, Berkeley who later became the Chief Technology Officer of WaterHealth International.

Shortly after 1995, WaterHealth established UV Waterworks Plants in Mexico and the Philippines. After limited success in those areas, Tralance Addy, the CEO appointed to the company in 2002, shifted the company’s focus to water distribution and retailing in Asia and Africa.

In January 2014, WaterHealth launched its nonprofit arm, the Jaldhaara Foundation. According to officials at Jaldhaara, the foundation aims to provide purified drinking water and educate underserved people on its importance. Additionally, Jaldhaara hopes to teach women how to operate local WaterHealth centers.

Controversies
In 2011, WaterHealth ex-CEO Sanjay Bhatnagar was criticized by Wenonah Hauter, a renowned environmental organizer, for bragging "about how his investors were making piles of money selling water in villages in Africa and India." She called Bhatnagar "a vocal proponent of the poor paying for water."

title: Joseph Hirst Lupton

text:
Joseph Hirst Lupton (1836–1905) was an English schoolmaster, cleric and writer.

Life
Born at Wakefield, Yorkshire, on 15 January 1836, he was second son of Joseph Lupton, headmaster of the Greencoat School at Wakefield, by his wife Mary Hirst, who wrote verse. Educated first at Queen Elizabeth grammar school, Wakefield, and then at Giggleswick school, where he became captain, he was admitted on 3 July 1854 to a sizarship at St John's College, Cambridge. In 1858 he graduated B.A., with a first class in the classical tripos.

After assisting at Wakefield grammar school, Lupton was appointed, in 1859, second classical master in the City of London School, then in Milk Street, Cheapside; among his pupils there were Henry Palin Gurney and James Smith Reid. Ordained deacon in 1859 and priest in 1860, he served as curate at St. Paul's Church, Avenue Road, N.W., and afterwards to W. Sparrow Simpson, rector of St Matthew Friday Street. Proceeding M.A. in 1861, Lupton succeeded to the fellowship at St John's College, Cambridge vacated by John Eldon Gorst on 19 March 1861.

In 1864 Lupton was appointed sur-master and second mathematical master in St Paul's School, London, then in St. Paul's churchyard (from 1884 at Hammersmith). He remained sur-master for 35 years, the high masters being Herbert Kynaston and then Frederick William Walker. In 1897 Lupton became Latin master of the upper eighth and honorary librarian.

Lupton was Hulsean lecturer at Cambridge in 1887, became preacher to Gray's Inn in 1890, won the Seatonian prize for a sacred poem at Cambridge in 1897, and proceeded B.D. in 1893 with a thesis on The Influence of Dean Colet upon the Reformation of the English Church, and D.D. in 1896 with a dissertation on Archbishop William Wake's Project of Union between the Gallican and Anglican Churches (1717–1720). He died at Earls Terrace, Kensington, on 15 December 1905, and was buried in Hammersmith cemetery.

Works
Lupton published Wakefield Worthies in 1864. He then researched John Colet, the founder of St Paul's School. He published for the first time the following works of Colet (with a translation and introduction, except for the first):

 De Sacramentis Ecclesiæ (1867) from the MS. in the library of St. Paul's;
 On the Hierarchies of Dionysius (1869);
 Exposition of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans (1873);
 Exposition of St. Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians (1874); and
 Letters to Radulphus on the Mosaic Account of the Creation, together with other Treatises (1876).

There followed, in 1883, a translation of the letters of Desiderius Erasmus to Jodocus Jonas (1519), containing the lives of Jehan Vitrier, warden of the Franciscan convent at St. Omer, and of Colet. In 1887 Lupton's major original work, The Life of Dean Colet (new edition 1909), gave an assessment of Colet's aims and career.

Lupton wrote also:

 St. John of Damascus in the "Lives of the Fathers for English Readers" series, 1882.
 An Introduction to Latin Elegiac Verse Composition, 1885; with key, 1886; reprinted, 1888; with vocabulary, 1893.
 An Introduction to Latin Lyric Verse Composition, 1888; with a key, 1888.
 Commentary on the First and Second Books of Esdras in the Apocrypha.

He edited Thomas More's Utopia in Latin from the edition of March 1518, and in English from the first edition of 1551; with introduction, notes and facsimiles (1895); and Erasmi Concio de Puero Jesu, a sermon on the Child Jesus by Erasmus, in an old English version of unknown authorship, with introduction and notes (1901).

Lupton was a contributor to the Dictionary of National Biography, to William Smith and Henry Wace's Dictionary of Christian Biography, to Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible, and to Notes and Queries.

Family
Lupton married twice:

 On 30 August 1864 Mary Ann (died October 1879), daughter of Thomas St. Clair MacDougal, a colleague at the City of London school (they had three sons and two daughters);
 in 1884 Alice (died 1902), daughter of Thomas Lea of Highgate.

Legacy
In Wakefield Cathedral, Lupton placed a stained glass window, by Charles Eamer Kempe, in memory of his parents.

After his retirement in 1899 the Lupton prize (for a knowledge of the Bible and Book of Common Prayer) was founded to commemorate at St Paul's School. In memory of his first wife Lupton erected a drinking fountain on Brook Green and founded the "Mary Lupton" prizes for French and German at St Paul's School for Girls. In memory of his second wife he founded the "Alice Lupton" prizes for music at St. Paul's School for Girls, and for scripture and church history at the North London Collegiate School for Girls.

title: Graph realization problem

text:
The graph realization problem is a decision problem in graph theory. Given a finite sequence  of natural numbers, the problem asks whether there is a labeled simple graph such that  is the degree sequence of this graph.

Solutions
The problem can be solved in polynomial time. One method of showing this uses the Havel–Hakimi algorithm constructing a special solution with the use of a recursive algorithm. Alternatively, following the characterization given by the Erdős–Gallai theorem, the problem can be solved by testing the validity of  inequalities.

Other notations
The problem can also be stated in terms of symmetric matrices of zeros and ones. The connection can be seen if one realizes that each graph has an adjacency matrix where the column sums and row sums correspond to . The problem is then sometimes denoted by symmetric 0-1-matrices for given row sums.

Related problems
Similar problems describe the degree sequences of simple bipartite graphs or the degree sequences of simple directed graphs. The first problem is the so-called bipartite realization problem. The second is known as the digraph realization problem.

The problem of constructing a solution for the graph realization problem with the additional constraint that each such solution comes with the same probability was shown to have a polynomial-time approximation scheme for the degree sequences of regular graphs by Cooper, Martin, and Greenhill. The general problem is still unsolved.

title: Viro stone cross

text:
Viro stone cross denotes the location of a Viro tsässon ("chapel") in Viro village in Estonia. It is situated 1 kilometre from Meremäe village towards Obinitsa. This limestone cross from the 15th century is the only one remaining in the Meremäe rural municipality. Viro tsässon was a Passover Day tsässon.

History
The chapel that once stood at this location was dedicated to the Transfiguration of our Lord, a holiday celebrated on August 6 in Hilläkeste, Palandõ and Viro villages. In 1994, the walls of the building were still standing, but the roof had already fallen in. In spring of 2000, Priit Laanoja cleared the place from decayed logs and only a stone cross that was in the tsässon was left on the premises.

The Chapel
According to the data from the dispatch office of Friedrich R. Kreutzwald’s Memorial Museum, Viro tsässon was a building of horizontal beams with quadrangular layout. The beams were manually hacked by an axe and the floor was made from beams hacked in half. The roof was made from shingles and had a cross on it. By 1974, all that was left was the icon room, the entrance-room had been torn down earlier. The dimensions of tsässon: length 3.6 metres, width 3.4 metres and height 2.85 metres. V. Talumees believed that the stone cross that was in the tsässon dates back to the founding of Petseri monastery (15th-16th centuries). The cross has letters written on it that are unreadable.

The Cross
The dimensions of the cross are: height 1.3 metres, width 0.92 metres and thickness 0.3 metres.

Eileen Ward died on May 31, 2016, at her home in Santa Monica, California. She was 97.

Author's career
After receiving her doctorate, Ward taught in the Northeast United States at Wellesley College and Barnard College. She then joined the Vassar College English Department in 1954 before later teaching at Sarah Lawrence, Brandeis University, and New York University prior to her retirement in 1990.

Reviews
 " for Aileen Ward, his latest biographer, both the poems and letters are merely reflections of the more important ""inner drama"" which was his life." -Kirkus Reviews
 "My favorite Keats biography is Aileen Ward's John Keats: The Making of a Poet." -Anthony deMello (John Keats Forum)

title: Alexander Alfonsovich Grossheim

text:
Alexander Alfonsovich Grossheim (6 March 1888 – 4 December 1948) was a Soviet botanist of German descent. He traveled widely over the Caucasus region collecting and studying various different plant life. He is most known for Pteridophytes and Spermatophytes species.

Biography
Alexander Alfonsovich Grossheim (or Grossgeim) was born in Likhovka, Russian Empire (now Lykhivka in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine). He was an expert on the flora of the Caucasus.

After graduating from University of Moscow with a doctorate in 1912, he became the director of the Azerbaijan Institute of Botany.

In 1919, he described Fritillaria grandiflora, which later re-classified as a subspecies of Fritillaria kotschyena and Fritiallaria tatianae.

From 1929 he moved to the Tiflis (Tbilisi) Botanic Garden in Georgia. He still carried on plant collecting expeditions in the Caucasus.

Between 1928 and 1934, he recorded up to 5767 plant species (out of the 6200 recorded species) in his volumes of Flora Kavaza (Flora of the Caucasus, 1928–1934). In 1939, he started a second volume with annotated maps.

In 1946, Grossheim was appointed curator of the Caucasian Herbarium at the Komarov Botanical Institute in Leningrad (Saint Petersburg), and also director of the Department of Plant Systematics and Morphology at St. Petersburg University. When he died in 1948, he was still working on the second edition of his Flora Kavkaza, which was continued by his colleague Andrei Fedorov.

Losina-Losinskaya named Fritillaria grossheimiana in his honour, but this is now thought to be a synonym of Fritillaria crassifolia subsp. kurdica.

The genus Grossheimia Sosn. & Takht. (synonym Centaurea) was named in his honour. Grossheimiana was also used as a name for a subgenus of grasses.
