The Normandy Hotel is in Renfrew, Scotland. It is on the A8 road, near Glasgow Airport. Construction of the hotel was completed in 1973.

History
The hotel opened as Stakis Normandy Hotel. It was part of a portfolio of hotels, health clubs and casinos, known as Stakis Hotels. The group was one of Britain's largest hotel companies. It was owned by Reo Stakis. In February 1999 the Hilton Group bought out Stakis in a deal worth £1.16b. Prior to the sale, many of the Stakis properties were divested to other hotel chains or closed completely, Hilton only retaining the most prestigious such as the Glasgow Grosvenor and the luxury Dunkeld House in Perthshire. This led the way for the Cosmopolitan Hotel Group who also own the Erskine Bridge Hotel to buy the Normandy in February 1998 for £6m.

Hotel
The hotel has 141 rooms spread out over 4 floors. There are also conference suites, a restaurant, bar, free Wi-Fi and wedding facilities available. As the hotel is sited close to Glasgow Airport it offers park and fly facilities.

Argyll Stone and St. Convals Chariot
A pair of historical stones are situated within the grounds of the hotel. One stone is a pediment called Argyll Stone. It is said that the Earl of Argyle once rested at the rock in 1685. The other rock is the base of a cross called St. Convals Chariot. The cross was erected to the memory of St. Conval. Water gathers within a small hollow on this rock. It is said that the water has healing potential. The stones are enclosed behind steel railings on a small woodland path and are approximately 1m in length, height and width.

title: Rajashree Birla

text:
Rajashree Birla is an Indian philanthropist. She is the wife of the late Aditya Birla (scion of the Birla family of business magnates). After her husband's death in 1995, Rajashree began working in CSR and charity sectors, developing a large philanthropic organization funded by her family. In 2011, the Government of India honoured her with the Padma Bhushan, the third highest civilian award, for her services to society.

Biography
Rajashree was born in 1948 in Madurai, in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, in a family which hailed originally from Rajasthan in north-western India. Her father, Radhakishen Fomra, held a dealership agency for Burmah Shell. Her mother, Parvati Devi Fomra, was a home-maker. The family were Marwari Vaishyas and belonged to the Maheshwari sub-caste.

Rajashree and her sisters studied at St. Joseph's convent school in Madurai, Following the usual Indian custom, Rajshree's marriage was arranged by her parents into a family belonging to their specific Maheshwari sub-caste. The nuptials were celebrated in three stages, as per the Marwari tradition. The first stage, being the engagement, was performed when Rajashree was around 10 years old. Her fiancé was Aditya Vikram Birla, scion of the Birla family and grandson of the legendary business magnate Ghanshyam Das Birla. The second stage comprised the initial ceremony of marriage (essentially an irrevocable engagement), which was performed when Rajashree was 14, and the final ceremonies (gauna and vidaai) was performed in 1965, when she was 17 years old. At this point, she departed her parents’ house in Madurai and moved into her in-law's house in Kolkata.

By this time, she had completed her matriculation and was studying at Fatima College in Madurai. With the encouragement from her husband and his parents, she enrolled at Loreto College, Kolkata and took a degree in Arts from the University of Calcutta.

In June 1967, Rajashree became a mother with the birth of a son, Kumar Mangalam Birla. This was followed in June 1976 by a daughter, Vasavadatta. With the full support of her family, Rajashree completed her education (albeit with a break for the birth of Kumar Mangalam) and took a degree in Arts from Kolkata university. For the next three decades, she devoted herself to caring for her family and raising her two children, viewing this as her primary responsibility. Only after they had grown up and settled down did she devote her energy to public or social welfare. Throughout her life, Rajashree has maintained an understated, unostentatious lifestyle and a middle-class sense of morality and family responsibility, bringing up her children also with the same values. She has in interviews attributed this quality to the influence of Mahatma Gandhi upon her family (Ghanshyam Das Birla was a close associate of the Mahatma) and the teachings of the Bhagwat Gita. She has stated that her favourite axiom at all time, good and bad alike, is the phrase "This too will pass," a quotation from the Bhagwat Gita.

Rajashree Birla sits on the boards of her family businesses in India and abroad and heads the Aditya Birla Centre for Community Initiatives and Rural Development, the charity arm of the Aditya Birla Group, which looks after the corporate social responsibilities of the conglomerate. She lives in South Mumbai with her son, Kumar Mangalam Birla and his family.

The main focusses are on education, employment, drinking water and women empowerment initiatives.

These activities are reported to have assisted around 7 million people in about 3000 villages around the globe and has presence in countries like Thailand and Egypt.

Health care
Rajashree Birla, as a tribute to her late husband, set up a 325-bed hospital, Aditya Birla Memorial Hospital, at a cost of  30 million, in Pune, 2006. The hospital complex, spread over a land measuring 18 acres, is managed by the Aditya Birla Center for Community Initiatives and Rural Development and is funded by the Aditya Birla Foundation.

Rajashree also oversees the running of a healthcare initiative which conducts around 3500 medical camps a year, attending to reportedly 3 million patients. The initiative also conducts around 20,000 polio vaccines to children. Rajashree has also donated US$1 million to Rotary International for the eradication of polio.

Other social activities

She maintains a close association with Habitat for Humanity, sits on the Boards of its Asia Pacific and Global committees and attended Habitat conference in Manila, the Philippines, in 2012.

title: Gene Abel

text:
Gene Gordon Abel is an American psychiatrist and controversial clinician. He is a couple's counselor and also works with men and boys suspected of sexual deviancy. He is the creator of the Abel Assessment for Sexual Interest (AASI), a sex offender assessment tool that has been considered unreliable by independent studies and inadmissible in court in various jurisdictions. He also designed a screening test called the Diana Screen, to be used, e.g., to screen job applicants for deviant sexual tendencies – a test which has been similarly criticized as having dubious scientific value.

Career

Abel was previously a professor of medicine at the Columbia University School of Medicine, and currently teaches at the Morehouse School of Medicine and the Emory University School of Medicine. He is the medical director of the Behavioral Medicine Institute of Atlanta.

Awards and recognitions
Abel is a fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and the Academy of Behavioral Medicine Research and a past president of the Society of Behavioral Medicine (1981–82). He was the recipient of a 1990 Masters and Johnson Award of the Society for Sex Therapy and Research, a 1991 Significant Achievement Award of the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers, and a 2013 Distinguished Alumni Award of the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine.

Lack of known scientific basis for assessment test methodology

Abel has been criticized for having no clear, well-accepted scientific basis for his assessment process. Abel wrote a report called "The Abel and Harlow Child Molestation Prevention Study" in a chapter of a 2001 self-published book he wrote called The Stop Child Molestation Book (coauthored with Nora Harlow, using the self-publication service Xlibris), and the Abel Assessment test is based on findings of a study associated with that report. However, the report was never subject to peer review and was not published in any professional journal, and it provides no detailed description of his testing methodology for scientific study and independent verification.

Abel is also said to have exaggerated various statistics in order to support his conclusions and methodology. For example, in the early 1990s he announced that he had figures suggesting that sex offenders commonly have multiple paraphilias. However, a 1991 journal publication refuted this claim in a report criticizing Abel's methods for double counting, and thus skewing the study's statistical weight.

Mental health professionals have used the AASI to civilly commit sex offenders, even though the Assessment is not admissible in many courts in the United States. In 2002, the Assessment was found to be inadmissible in court cases in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, a ruling that was upheld by the Massachusetts Court of Appeals in 2005. In a 2002 decision on the admissibility of the test by Texas appellate judge Brian Quinn, the court said that since Abel's proprietary scoring methodology is not publicly known, it "could be mathematically based, founded upon indisputable empirical research, or simply the magic of young Harry Potter's mixing potions at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry". The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals also ruled in 2004 that the Assessment is a tool that should be used only as treatment, and that it cannot detect whether a person has sexually abused children. Independent studies of the Assessment have concluded it to be unreliable in adults and that there is not yet enough information to support its use with adolescents, whereas Abel states in his book that a therapist can not only use the Assessment for assessing adults, but also as a tool to determine whether a child is attracted to other children.

The Diana Screen has also been a source of controversy for Abel due to it being a pass/fail assessment. The assessment purports to determine if someone has molested a child. Abel has promoted the use of the Diana Screen as a business opportunity for individuals and agencies.

title: Roger Jenkins (director)

text:
Roger Ernest Jenkins (May 1931 – 21 December 2022) was a British theatre and television director who directed multiple British television productions from the mid-1950s until the 1980s as well as directing, producing, and filming numerous stage plays.

Life and career

Early life and education
Jenkins was born in May 1931. He was educated at Bristol Grammar School, and subsequently attended St Catharine's College, Cambridge, where he read English from 1950 to 1953. It was a time when the Cambridge amateur theatre scene was dominated by Peter Hall, with whom Jenkins shared rooms in college. During his time at Cambridge, Jenkins acted in and directed numerous productions for the Cambridge University Amateur Dramatic Club (ADC) and the Marlowe Society.  After leaving Cambridge in 1953, Jenkins worked as a producer trainee for BBC Radio for two years. In addition to his work as a studio manager, he acted in numerous amateur productions at London theatres and in 1961 returned to Cambridge to direct a Marlowe Society production of Jean Anouilh's The Lark with the young Ian McKellen as Warwick.

Years at Associated-Rediffusion
In 1955, Jenkins became a staff director at Associated-Rediffusion, the UK's first commercial television company, a position he was to hold for the next five years. He directed four programmes in the first week of commercial television and directed children's programmes with Rolf Harris and Charlie Drake, and light entertainment programmes with Cy Grant. Jenkins also directed the first schools' series in the UK, The Ballad Story and the first schools' play, Macbeth (with William Devlin, Mary Morris and Miles Malleson), followed by Dr Faustus (with Paul Rogers, Judi Dench, Patrick Troughton), She Stoops to Conquer (with Paul Daneman, Jane Downs), and Twelfth Night (with John Wood, Laurence Hardy, Emrys James).

For Associated-Rediffusion's drama department, Jenkins directed nine episodes of Murder Bag, six episodes of Crime Street and one episode of their successor No Hiding Place with Raymond Francis. He also directed two television plays for the company in 1959—The Guardsman's Cup of Tea by Thomas Browne (with Michael Craig, Barbara Shelley, Margot Grahame, January 1959) and The Extra Grave (with Michael Gough, Isabel Dean, July 1959).

Freelance career
In November 1960, Jenkins resigned from Associated-Rediffusion to work as a freelance television, theatre, and film director. Over the next 30 years he directed or produced numerous episodes of television series. His directing credits included Z-Cars, Out of the Unknown, The Troubleshooters, Poldark, Coronation Street and Howard's Way. He also made instructional videos and worked as an executive producer for Trans World International. Through his film company, Hyperion Films, he produced  The Great Event, a documentary on the Badminton Horse Trials, for BBC television and produced and directed development work for a Channel 4 series on British Library manuscripts.

Later years
Jenkins set up The Archive of Theatre Performance (ATP) in 1989 to make archival video recordings of theatre performances. From 1991 to 1993 he was a video consultant at the Theatre Museum and from 1994 to 1995 was a video consultant at the British Library.

Jenkins formed The Meysey Players in 1996 to perform outdoor summer amateur productions of plays in the Cotswolds. Between 1997 and 2005, he produced and directed Love's Labours Lost, Twelfth Night, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Sweet Jack Falstaff (from Henry IV parts 1 and 2), The Rivals, Much Ado About Nothing, The Wind in the Willows, The Merry Wives of Windsor, and The Cherry Orchard.

In 2001 he formed Duveen Productions with Simon Langton to pursue a project on the relationship between the art connoisseur Bernard Berenson and the art dealer Joseph Duveen. In 2004 the company co-produced The Old Masters by Simon Gray (based on a treatment by Jenkins) at The Comedy Theatre, London with Edward Fox, Peter Bowles, and Barbara Jefford. The play subsequently had its US Premiere at the Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut in January 2011 with Sam Waterston and Brian Murray.

Personal life and death
During retirement, Jenkins lived in a village in the Cotswolds with his wife Joan. The couple had two children; a son and daughter.

Jenkins died on 21 December 2022, at the age of 91.

title: Flea Market Music

text:
Flea Market Music is an American company which publishes and sells ukulele-related books and music.

History
Flea Market Music was founded in 1992 by Jim Beloff and his wife, Liz Beloff, to publish music books for the ukulele community. A guitarist for many years, Jim bought a used Martin ukulele at a flea market and later left his job with Billboard Magazine to make a full-time career of promoting the ukulele.
The company name combines the meaning of ukulele in Hawaiian, 'jumping flea', and the purchase of Beloff's first ukulele at the Rose Bowl Flea Market.

Flea Market Music has published a wide variety of ukulele instructional books (distributed by the Hal Leonard Corporation) and DVDs as well as CDs of recorded ukulele music.  As of May 2002, over 600,000 books have been sold.  The company's products are sold through retail and online.

Beloff and his wife, Liz, perform and give workshops at festivals and other musical events to promote ukuleles and the Flea Market Music products. In 2014 they were guests on a WNPR radio show with ukulelist Jake Shimabukuro, discussing ukuleles and ukulele music.

There isn't any time for rehearsing. Indians excel because Bollywood directors  give a free hand to choreographers and over the years, Indian dancing has won a status for itself. Here, not many films are produced and directors don’t let the choreographers work freely. Dancing is poetry of the body, but here it often becomes an exhibition of the body."

title: Bottle Imp (card game)

text:
The Bottle Imp (or Flaschenteufel) is a trick-taking card game designed by Günter Cornett and based on the Robert Louis Stevenson short story The Bottle Imp. It was first published in 1995 by Bambus Spieleverlag, and was re-released by Z-Man Games in 2010 under the name "Bottle Imp."  It was re-published again by Stronghold Games in 2018.

Rules
The game is played with a bottle token and a proprietary deck of thirty-seven cards with a total ordering from 1 to 37. A card will be one of three colors which act like suits and there is no trump.

At the beginning of the game, the token is not attached to any player. Card #19 is the price of the bottle. The rest of the cards are dealt out equally to all players. After hands are dealt, each player discards one card, passes one card left and one card right.

The player to the left of the dealer leads the first trick. Players must play a matching color card if they have one, otherwise they may play any card. If a trick contains no cards lower than the price of the bottle then the highest card takes the trick. If a trick contains a card lower than the price of the bottle, then the highest card lower than the price takes the trick. That player gets the bottle token and the card used to win the trick becomes the new price. Tricks are led by the winner of the previous trick.

Players keep the cards won in tricks. Cards used to "purchase" the bottle are returned to the player who played them when a new price is set. Play continues until all cards are played.

At the end of the round, players who do not have the bottle score the face value of all cards they won. The player who ends the round with the bottle loses the sum of the cards discarded at the beginning of play. Play continues until a player reaches 500 points total.

The element of the bottle determines much of the strategy in the game: since it is harder to get rid of the bottle at a lower value than at a higher one, players will generally try to get rid of their lowest cards early on in the game when there is a better chance that someone else will play a higher card that is still lower than the bottle's value.

title: Jovan Šević

text:
Jovan Šević or Ivan Šević (, ; died ) was an 18th-century military officer of Serb origin. He reached the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Serb militia forces in the Pomorišje region, then in the Military Frontier of the Habsburg monarchy. When it became obvious that privileges granted to Serb militiamen would be reduced or completely revoked after Pomorišje and Potisje lost their frontier status, Šević left Habsburg military service in 1750 and moved to Russia. At the end of 1752, he led the second wave of colonists who migrated from Pomorišje, Potisje and Slavonia to the Russian Empire (modern-day Ukraine) where they settled the newly established administrative region of Slavo-Serbia at the beginning of 1753. To enable him to recruit more of his fellow officers, Šević was promoted to the rank of General by the Russian Empress, Elizabeth. He commanded a Serb Hussar Regiment consisting of the colonists he brought to Russia. After Šević's death, Slavo-Serbia was disestablished, and many of his descendants became notable military officers in the Russian Imperial Army. Over time, all the Serb colonists became assimilated. Miloš Crnjanski described the migration led by Šević in his most notable work, the novel Migrations ().

Family

Jovan Šević was born into a Serbian noble family that had migrated from Ottoman-occupied Serbia to the territory of the Serbian Despotate in Hungary in the first half of the 16th century. In some accounts, he is referred to as Ivan or Živan. Šević's grandfather was named Radoslav. Šević's father was Georgije, better known as Đurka Šević, who was an oberkapitän (upper captain) in the Serb militia in the Pomorišje military frontier (near Arad). Đurka succeeded Jovan Tekelija in this position in the first half of 18th century, while at that time, his son was an oberkapitän in Čanad (modern-day Magyarcsanád).

By the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century, many of Šević's descendants had become successful officers in the Imperial Russian Army. Šević had a son named Petar, who was a lieutenant in the Moriš Brigade before the migration to Russia, where he reached the rank of lieutenant colonel. Another one of Šević's sons, Ivan, was a colonel, and his son Georgije later reached the rank of General in the Imperial Russian Army. Georgije's son, Ivan (Šević's great-grandson) also became a Russian General. In 1812, he was decorated for bravery at the Battle of Borodino, during Napoleon's invasion of Russia. Šević's daughter was married to Stevan Petrović (formerly Šarović), who had moved from Podgorica to Slavo-Serbia.

Pomorišje Military Frontier

Šević was firmly opposed to the plans to disestablish Military Frontier in Pomorišje. When it was obvious that Pomorišje and Potisje would lose their frontier status, Šević decided to migrate to Russia. In the November 1750 plebiscite, he was the first higher-ranking officer who left the Habsburg army; he applied to be regular citizen and requested a passport to emigrate to Russia. To avoid issuing the passport to Šević, the government officials staged a trial against him and arrested him, but eventually lost the case because of the lack of evidence for their accusations. When Šević was in prison, the prosecution canvassed his rival, ambitious Jovan Horvat, who additionally accused Šević to support their case. When the prosecution lost their case because of the lack of evidence, Horvat left their side and became one of the most ardent supporters of migration to Russia. On 19 October 1751, Šević's passport was issued, but he did not travel to Russia immediately after he received it. He gradually sold his property and secretly tried to convince other military officers to join him and migrate to Russia.

To prevent emigration of a larger number of Serbs to Russia, Habsburg Empress Maria Theresa issued a special decree () on 19 June 1752. People who would try to convince citizens of the Habsburg monarchy to move to another country and serve another empire would be executed. The Russian empress Elizabeth promoted Šević to the rank of General with the right to appoint other subordinated military officers who would join him to migrate to Russia. In September 1752, about a year after he received his passport, Šević led the second group of Serb colonists to Russian Empire.

Slavo-Serbia

Šević was among the Serbian military officers who led about 3,000 Serb families that emigrated to the region along river Donets. The group led by Šević was the second group of Serb emigrants to the Russian Empire. The first group settled the region which was referred to as New Serbia for some time. The second group, led by Šević, settled the territory which they named Slavo-Serbia. This name was initially proposed by Šević. They left Pomorišje in September 1752 and reached Kiev in December 1752. There, they were instructed to settle New Serbia governed by Jovan Horvat. They refused to do so and Šević accompanied by Rajko Preradović, a Colonel of the Slavonian Hussar Regiment, went to St. Petersburg where they submitted an application to the Governing Senate to allow them to settle another territory, separated from New Serbia. On 17 May 1753, Russian empress Elizabeth signed a decision to allow colonists from Pomorišje led by Šević to populate the territory between Bakhmut and Luhansk. The New Serbia was established and populated by Serb colonists, while colonists to the Slavo-Serbia, besides the Serb majority, include people of other ethnicity, such as Bulgarians, Aromanians, Vlachs and Greeks. Horvat tried to convince people brought by Šević to Slavo-Serbia to move to his New Serbia, but his attempts failed and only a small number of people moved using small boats to float downstream on the Dnieper.

Šević and his men were included in the Serb Hussar Regiment. During wartime, they fought in the army of the Russian Empire while in  peacetime, they cultivated the land. The Serb Hussar Regiment participated in the Seven Years' War, together with regiments from New Serbia, under the command of Stepan Fyodorovich Apraksin. Cossacks did not accept new settlers as well as their government did. It was recorded that they made raids into New Serbia and Slavo-Serbia and that in one of those raids, they stole the horses of Jovan Šević. According to contemporary accounts, the land settled by Šević and other Serb military officers was cultivated and flourished. Slavo-Serbia was disestablished in 1764, which according to some authors happened soon after Šević's death.

Legacy

Miloš Crnjanski described the migration to Russia in 1752 in his novel Migrations (). The territory of former Slavo-Serbia administrative region today belongs to the modern Ukrainian territories of Luhansk Oblast and Donetsk Oblast. A town in Luhansk Oblast (Slovianoserbsk) was developed from the village populated by one rota of Serb colonists. In its center, there is an impressive monument which depict Serb and Russian Hussars and Ukrainian Cossack. It was erected in 2003 to commemorate 250 years of Serb migration to this region. The inscription on Serbian, Ukrainian and Russian language which says, "There Are No Holier Ties Than Brotherhood Bonds".

title: Project Valhalla (Java language)

text:
Project Valhalla is an experimental OpenJDK project to develop major new language features for Java 10 and beyond. The project was announced in July 2014 and is an experimental effort by Oracle, led by engineer Brian Goetz.

Planned features

Valhalla is incubating Java language features and enhancements in these areas:
 Value Types; highly-efficient small 'objects' without inheritance.
 Generic Specialization; List<int> for example.
 Reified Generics; retaining actual type at runtime.
 improved 'volatile' support.

These features will require both syntax and VM-level changes.

Project activity

The project is organized on the OpenJDK 'Project Valhalla' mailing list. Project Valhalla has begun in the experimental stages, with an inaugural announcement & early draft initial proposals.

Published as of January 2022:

Experimental OpenJDK prototypes can also be built from the Mercurial repositories. These are starting to incorporate many specialization features. Note that these are Gnu Make/ C++ sources, and building the OpenJDK requires technical expertise. See OpenJDK build instructions for details.
 Project Valhalla OpenJDK source repositories

Project Components
The project is organized into several JEPs (JDK Enhancement Proposals):
 JEP Draft: Value Objects (Preview)
 JEP 401: Primitive Classes (Preview)
 JEP 402: Classes for the Basic Primitives (Preview)
 JEP draft: Universal Generics (Preview)

Value Classes
Value classes are reference types, in the same way as all existing Java classes. However, they give up the ability to have identity. This means that the  operator compares instance of the value class by equality of their components, instead of by identity. Additionally, synchronizing on instances of value classes will fail.

Value classes still support , since they are reference types. The Java Virtual Machine is expected to be able to take advantage of the additional constraints of value classes to eliminate heap allocation of value types in the vast majority of cases. However, storing instances of value classes into a field or upcasting them to an interface will still require an allocation.

Existing types in the Java API such as  are known as value-based classes, and are candidates for being made into value classes in a future JDK release.

Primitive Classes
Primitive Classes are subject to all the constraints of value classes, but are not reference types. This means they give up the ability to support . Instead, their default values are the zero value for each of the component types ( for numerical types,  for booleans,  for reference types, and the zero value for nested primitive classes.

All primitive classes are stored "inline", that is, without requiring a heap allocation. Arrays of primitive classes will not require a pointer indirection from the array to the heap. Where needed, conversions will be inserted to "box" the primitive class into a value class version of itself and vice versa.

Classes for the Basic Primitives
This JEP is meant to express the classical primitive types of the Java Virtual Machine (byte, char, short, int, long, boolean, float, double) as Primitive Classes.

Traditionally, the eight primitive types are treated separately from all other types. Providing primitive class declarations from them removes much of this special-casing, leading to a more elegant and easy to understand type system.

Technical benefits and implications

Memory access performance and the efficiency of 'boxed' value access are a major area to be addressed by these features. 'Value Type' features and 'Generic specialization' (when applied to lists or collections) reduce memory usage, but more importantly avoid pointer indirection which typically causes a cache miss.

Instead of a list or array of object references, pointing to data values scattered throughout memory, Project Valhalla enhancements will enable list or array values to potentially be laid out linearly—without indirection—as a consecutive block of memory.

Value Types are envisaged as "Codes like a class, works like an int!" Synchronization and inheritance would be excluded for Value Types. These would no longer require object identity and associated memory/ pointer overheads, though would be able to assume a 'boxed' form for compatibility.

title: Set constraint

text:
In mathematics and theoretical computer science, a set constraint is an equation or an inequation between sets of terms.
Similar to systems of (in)equations between numbers, methods are studied for solving systems of set constraints.
Different approaches admit different operators (like "∪", "∩", "\", and function application) on sets and different (in)equation relations (like "=", "⊆", and "⊈") between set expressions.

Systems of set constraints are useful to describe (in particular infinite) sets of ground terms.
They arise in program analysis, abstract interpretation, and type inference.

Relation to regular tree grammars

Each regular tree grammar can be systematically transformed into a system of set inclusions such that its minimal solution corresponds to the tree language of the grammar.

For example, the grammar (terminal and nonterminal symbols indicated by lower and upper case initials, respectively) with the rules
{|
|-
| BoolG || → false
|-
| BoolG || → true
|-
| BListG || → nil
|-
| BListG || → cons(BoolG,BListG)
|-
| BList1G || → cons(true,BListG)
|-
| BList1G || → cons(false,BList1G)
|}
is transformed to the set inclusion system (constants and variables indicated by lower and upper case initials, respectively):
{|
|-
| BoolS || ⊇ false
|-
| BoolS || ⊇ true
|-
| BListS || ⊇ nil
|-
| BListS || ⊇ cons(BoolS,BListS)
|-
| BList1S || ⊇ cons(true,BListS)
|-
| BList1S || ⊇ cons(false,BList1S)
|}
This system has a minimal solution, viz. ("L(N)" denoting the tree language corresponding to the nonterminal N in the above tree grammar):
{|
|-
| BoolS || = L(BoolG) || = { false, true }
|-
| BListS || = L(BListG) || = { nil, cons(false,nil), cons(true,nil), cons(false,cons(false,nil)), ... }
|-
| BList1S || = L(BList1G) || = { nil, cons(true,nil), cons(true,cons(false,nil)),... }
|}
The maximal solution of the system is trivial; it assigns the set of all terms to every variable.

title: Patrick Lindesay

text:
Sir Patrick Lindesay,  (24 February 1778 – 14 March 1839) was a Scottish military officer during the Napoleonic Wars and Peninsular War but is most noted as having served as Acting Governor of New South Wales, Australia in 1831. Mount Lindesay (Queensland), Mount Lindesay (New South Wales) , and Lindesay River in Australia are all named after him.

Life
He was born in Musselburgh, East Lothian, Scotland, the son of Lt. Col. John Lindesay.

He was educated at Edinburgh University and in 1793 joined the army as an Ensign. He was thereafter gazetted as a lieutenant in the famed 78th (Highlanders) Regiment of Foot. He was promoted to Captain in September 1795. He moved to the 39th (Dorsetshire) Regiment of Foot in October 1796 and was there promoted to Major in 1807. He then saw considerable action in Spain and Portugal during the Peninsular War.

In 1811 he saw his most major action and received a medal for his actions in the Battle of Albuera.

In 1814, his obituary states, he had a "final brush" with the Americans in the final battles between these countries.

From 1824 to 1826 he served in the First Anglo-Burmese War, commanding a division of the Expeditionary Army.

Australia
In November 1827, aged 49, he arrived in Sydney, Australia to succeed Col. William Stewart in the command of the garrison at Port Jackson. He became a member of the New South Wales Legislative Council in 1827, and when the post of lieutenant-governor was abolished he took over the required duties of the post. From April 1829 he was a member of the Executive Council. After the controversial departure of the governor Sir Ralph Darling on 22 October 1831, Lindesay filled the role of Acting Governor until the appointment of Sir Richard Bourke as governor on 2 December 1831.

During this period he permitted one of the Captains in his Regiment, Captain Charles Sturt to take a leave of absence to explore the Murray River. On Sturt's return, he brought many bird skins which were then delivered by Lindesay to the Edinburgh Museum. A later donation to Prof. Robert Jameson caused Jameson to state that Lindesay was "a distinguished officer and a very active naturalist".

Sturt later named a tributary of the Murray River the Lindesay River, in gratitude to his commanding officer.

The explorer Allan Cunningham later named a mountain on the border of New South Wales, in the McPherson Range,  "Mount Lindesay" but this was later (c.1840) renamed Mount Barney. The name Mount Lindesay was then used to replace a mountain previously named "Mount Hooker" just north within Queensland. A second Mount Lindesay (New South Wales) was later named by Sir Thomas Mitchell, attaching to a dominant mountain in the Nandewar Range.

Late-life

In 1832 he was dispatched to India to command the garrisons at Bangalore. After the surrender of Mercara, he received a bounty of £10,000. He then commanded the entire British forces in southern Madras until late 1835.

He returned to Britain in 1836 and was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath and Military Knight Commander of the Royal Hanoverian Guelphic Order. He was promoted to the rank of Major General on 10 January 1837.

He is interred in St. Michael's Churchyard in Inveresk west of the main church in the older section. His grave in 2014 was wholly obscured by two yew trees.

title: Developmental Haemostasis

text:
The haemostatic (blood clotting) system involves the interaction of proteins in the blood, the blood vessel wall and the flow of blood to control bleeding and blood clotting. Developmental Haemostasis is a term that represents the maturation of the haemostatic system from birth to adulthood. There are differences in the concentration, structure and activity of many proteins involved in blood clotting. These changes play an important role in physiological development and are important in providing appropriate diagnosis and treatment of bleeding and clotting disorders (e.g. thrombosis). The age-specific differences in the blood clotting system may contribute to the fact that children are less prone to developing thrombosis compared to adults.

Differences in structure of haemostatic proteins
Studies have shown that there are structural differences in some of the major blood clotting proteins in newborns and children when compared to adults. These structural differences can lead to differences in the activity of haemostatic proteins within the blood clotting system, as well as other physiological systems (e.g. immune system).

Some examples of age-specific differences in the structure of blood clotting proteins are:
 Fibrinogen The fetal form of fibrinogen has increased sialic acid and phosphorus content compared to the adult form, affecting assembly of fibrin from fibrinogen to form blood clots. This means that blood clotting takes longer in newborns. Structural differences in fibrinogen extend into childhood, where fibrinogen from children has a higher molecular weight compared to adults.
 Protein C is active in anticoagulation (anti-clotting) and breaking down blood clots. A newborn form of protein C has been detected and has a higher proportion of single chain molecules than the adult two-chain molecule.
 Antithrombin is an anticoagulant protein and is important in preventing blood clotting. In animal studies, Antithrombin in newborns has a decreased sialic acid content compared to adults. There are also differences in the way Antithrombin interacts with Heparin, an important anti-blood clotting drug. There is more Antithrombin bound to Heparin in blood from newborns compared to blood from adults, suggesting different structural forms of the protein. The size of the Antithrombin molecules in neonates and children is larger than in adults.

Differences in concentration and function of haemostatic proteins
 Antithrombin: the levels of antithrombin increase with age. Antithrombin levels  in newborns are less than 50% of the levels in adults. By six months of age Antithrombin levels increase to adult levels. Antinthrombin is present in various isoforms. There is an increase in the concentration of a specific isoform of Antithrombin, Latent Antithrombin with age. This form of Antithrombin is known to be associated with thrombosis and hence decreased levels in children may help protect them from spontaneous thrombosis. There is also an increased activity of another form of Antithrombin, Beta Antithrombin in newborns compared to older children and adults.
 alpha-2-Macroglobulin (A2M):  is also a major inhibitor of thrombin. It is present in 2-3 fold higher concentration during childhood, approaching adult levels in late teenage years. It has been shown that a higher proportion of thrombin is inhibited by A2M in children than adults. This suggests that in children, A2M plays a more important role in thrombin inhibition compared to antithrombin.
 Platelets: are blood cells that once activated, aggregate and form clots. There are age-related differences in platelet number and their activity. They form aggregates with white blood cells and in adults the platelets that are bound to white blood cells are usually activated. In children, these white blood cell-platelet aggregates are increased in children compared to adult levels, however this takes place without a corresponding increase in platelet activation. Increased white blood cell-platelet aggregates in adults can indicate atherosclerosis, but this is not the case in children.

Implications
Reference ranges demonstrate the normal test values for a healthy population. Diseases and disorders are diagnosed when a test value is outside the reference range. Many laboratories compare paediatric results to adult reference ranges or to published paediatric reference ranges that may not be specific for the test used. This can lead to misdiagnosis or over-diagnosis of blood clotting disorders as many proteins exist at levels during stages of infancy that would be associated with disease in adults. This can lead to unnecessary stress for families and can have significant medical implications for the child (e.g. further testing).
The differences in the haemostatic proteins can lead to different interactions with anticoagulant drugs that are used to prevent and treat thrombosis in children. More studies are required to determine the optimal treatment strategies and doses of anticoagulants in children.

The role of developmental haemostasis in normal physiology is still not fully understood. It has been observed that the newborn haemostatic system is protective and contributes to a decreased risk of bleeding or thrombosis compared to adults. The differences may also be due to the role haemostatic proteins play within other physiological systems.

The Islamic Azad University, Roudehen Branch is officially affiliated to Islamic Azad University, globally, the largest attending university with around 400 branches both nationally and internationally in Kabul, Dubai, Beirut, and Oxford (England). Islamic Azad University Roudehen Branch (RIAU) offers more than 100 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in a wide range of disciplines with an approximate enrollment of 20,000 undergraduate and graduate students. The university is organized into nine faculties and two research centers. The Faculties are Faculty of Education and Counseling, Psychology, Science, Social Sciences, Agriculture, Persian Literature and Foreign Languages, Engineering, Art and Architecture, and Economy and Accounting.

History

Roudehen
Roudehen, once a small town on Tehran to Mazandaran province route, is now a major educational center. It is located at the southern foot of Alborz mountain range,  to the east of capital city Tehran. The average height of Roudehen from sea-level is  and has an area of . Geographically, Roudehen region is within Tehran province. Roudehen had witnessed remarkable social, cultural, and scientific development following the establishment of a branch of Islamic Azad University in 1983. Nowadays, the city is known as a leading academic hub. The university graduates are the best representatives of the Islamic Azad University Roudehen Branch at home and abroad. They have also played a crucial role in the various on-going nationwide scientific and research activities due to their considerable achievements. In short, Roudehen, which was once a small town, has developed socially, culturally, and scientifically in the recent years.

RIAU
Following the foundation of Islamic Azad University (IAU) in large cities like Tehran, Islamic Azad University Roudehen Branch(RIAU) was founded on November 5, 1983, in the vicinity of capital city Tehran. This has opened up new horizons in the development of Roudehen city. Since 1986, the city has witnessed such changes as rapid development of the university, migration, population growth, and socioeconomic changes which are still on the increase. One of the benefactors who helped establish this higher education center was the late Ayatollah Seyed Ahmad Mirkhani who, besides his religious activities and authoring books, was interested in social and cultural affairs. He generously donated a building for the university to obtain the permit to establish a branch. Thanks to his generous effort, thousands of young knowledge seekers from all around the country have attended the university to reap the benefit. Seyed Kazem Shariatpanahi was appointed the first chancellor of Roudehen Branch which was formally inaugurated on November 5, 1983, by top ranking officials from Islamic Azad University and local authorities. The first groups of students were admitted on the spring semester of the academic year 1983–1984. Having been busy with a few responsibilities in IAU testing center, Mr. Shariatpanahi resigned and in September 1986, Seyed Mohammad Hosseini was appointed as the next chancellor of IAU Roudehen Branch.  Seyed Mehdi Hosseini's tenure as the Roudehen Branch chancellor lasted about 21 years. In November 2007, Dr. Gholamhossein Heidari was assigned as the third chancellor who had taken the position for five years. On August 26, 2012, Prof. Alireza Iranbakhsh was appointed as the chancellor of Islamic Azad University Roudehen Branch. Since April 14, 2014, Prof. Naghi Shoja has been appointed as the fifth RIAU chancellor. After three decades of going through the rollercoaster of ups and downs, RIAU has relied on the protection of divine providence and banked on the support of a reservoir of expert knowledge in university on its way to success. As a result of its successful academic achievements and development all through these years, the university has recently been granted the grade of "Comprehensive" which positions the university among the top IAU branches. This outstanding success in the history of RIAU, as the largest university in the eastern Tehran, has created an atmosphere to further its academic endeavors.

Programs and Courses
Islamic Azad University Roudehen Branch (RIAU) offers more than 100 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in a wide range of disciplines. The university is organized into nine faculties and two research centers. The Faculties are Faculty of Education and Counseling, Faculty of Psychology, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Social Sciences, Faculty of Agriculture, Faculty of Persian Literature and Foreign Languages, Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Art and Architecture, and Faculty of Economy and Accounting.

title: Armslist

text:
Armslist.com is a classified advertisements website with sections devoted to firearms, firearms accessories, outdoors equipment, miscellaneous firearms related materials, and discussion forums. Armslist has drawn criticism and support due to it facilitating the legal sale of firearms between individuals online.

History
Armslist.com was founded in 2007 by Jon Gibbon and Brian Mancini. Both met at the Air Force Academy and came up with the idea after reading that craigslist was banning all gun related ads. They decided to create an online classifieds website where gun sellers could post ads and the site eventually expanded beyond solely firearms listings and into other firearms related products. Ever since its founding the site has greatly expanded and now hosts thousands of listings at a time.

Site Characteristics
Before any user can enter the site they must agree to a statement that they are 21 years old, will follow all local, state and federal laws, they will not use Armslist for any illegal purposes, and several other smaller clauses. The site is formatted with 6 different sections and multiple subsections along with sections dedicated to each state in the United States and regions of those states so that buyers can find local sellers. The sections are Firearms, Firearms accessories, Outdoors gear, Other items, Firearms related events, and Firearms services. The largest section is Firearms which has subsections for antique firearms, handguns, muzzle loaders, National Firearms Act related firearms, rifles, and shotguns. Each listings provides a location and a way to contact the seller and in many cases, picture of the items.

Lawsuits
Armslist has faced criticism from many gun control groups because of its business model which provides a way for people to find each other online in order to buy and sell firearms privately and in many cases without a background check. In late 2012 the Brady Campaign filed a lawsuit against Armslist on behalf of the family of Jitka Vesel, a woman who was killed by her stalker, Demetry Smirnov, who was a Russian immigrant living in Canada. They claimed that Armslist was negligent by allowing him to purchase a weapon privately out of state, even though he was ineligible to purchase any firearms and private firearm sales with handguns are restricted to in-state sales. Armslist responded to the lawsuit by pointing out that site has a disclaimer advising users to follow all federal and state firearms laws. In August 2013 the lawsuit was dismissed by Federal District Court Judge Charles Norgle finding that "The Defendant owes no duty to the general public to operate its website to control private individual users’ sale of handguns." In August 2014, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed that decision.

On April 30, 2019, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that Armslist was immune from liability under the Communications Decency Act. The US Supreme Court declined to hear the case.

Armslist was also successful in dismissing a lawsuit in the Massachusetts Superior Court in May 2020 based on Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.

title: Alex Gersbach

text:
Alexander Joseph Gersbach ( ; born 8 May 1997) is an Australian professional footballer who plays as a left back for MLS team Colorado Rapids and the Australia national team.

He made his debut for Australia in 2016, having previously played numerous times for the nation's youth teams.

Early life
Born in Auburn, Sydney to a father of German descent and a mother of Greek descent, Gersbach grew up in Sutherland, in Sydney's South East. For the majority of his school years he attended St Patrick's College, Sutherland, before leaving for the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra where he also attended Canberra High School. Gersbach played his youth football for the Miranda Magpies and Sutherland Sharks where he played as a striker.

Club career

Sydney FC
On 20 July 2014, Sydney FC announced that they had signed Gersbach to a two-year deal. Alex was previously given the number 13 jersey, but later swapped with Christopher Naumoff for the number 16. Rated as one of Australia's most promising young footballers, he made his senior professional debut for the club at the age of 17 years and 3 months in the 2014 FFA Cup Round of 32 tie against Melbourne City FC at Morshead Park on 12 August 2014 which Sydney FC won 3–1 after extra time.

He made his A-League debut on 11 October 2014 against Melbourne City when he came on for Matthew Jurman after 69 minutes. He put in a promising performance as Sydney FC drew 1–1.

For the 2015–16 A-League season, Gersbach was given the number 3 jersey.

Rosenborg

On 31 January 2016, it was announced that Gersbach had signed with Norwegian club, Rosenborg BK of the Tippeligaen for a reported fee of $500,000. Gersbach made his Tippeligaen debut for Rosenborg on 19 March 2016 at home to Stromsgodset where he played a full 90 minutes in a 1–0 home victory.

Loan to Lens
On 22 January 2018, Lens announced the signing of Gersbach on a six-month loan deal, with the view to make it a permanent three-year deal at the end of his stint. Given the number 5 jersey, Gersbach made his debut in an unfamiliar centre-back role in a 1–0 loss to US Orléans.

NAC Breda
On 23 January 2019, NAC Breda announced the signing of Gersbach on a 2.5 year contract.

AGF
In July 2019, Gersbach moved to Denmark and joined AGF on a 3-year contract, also getting reunited with his former teammate from the national team Mustafa Amini.

Grenoble
On 31 August 2021, Gersbach secured a move to French Ligue 2 team Grenoble on a 2-year contract.

Colorado Rapids
After playing two seasons for Grenoble, Gersbach joined Major League Soccer team Colorado Rapids on 30 January 2023 for a reported fee of €300.000. Gersbach signed a 3 year contract with a club-held option for the 2026 MLS season and occupies an international roster spot. Gersbach made his debut for the Rapids starting in a 4-0 defeat to Seattle Sounders FC on 26 February 2023.

International career
On 25 September 2015, Gersbach was selected to play for the Young Socceroos to play in the 2016 AFC U-19 Championship qualification. In March 2016 Gersbach received his first call up to the senior team when he was named in the squad to face Tajikistan and Jordan in World Cup Qualifiers on 24 and 29 March.

On 4 June 2016, Gersbach made his first international appearance for Australia, coming on for Brad Smith against Greece in the 82nd minute and later setting up Mathew Leckie's last second winner.
