title: Traverse Group

text:
The Traverse Group is a geologic group in Michigan, comprising middle Devonian limestones with calcareous shale components. Its marine fossils notably include Michigan's state stone, the Petoskey stone (the extinct coral Hexagonaria percarinata), among other corals and records of ancient marine life. A range of trilobites has also been found in the Traverse Group.

The Traverse Group outcrops in Emmet and Charlevoix counties along the northwestern shore of Michigan's lower peninsula. Its formations are Gravel Point, Charlevoix Limestone, Petoskey, and Whiskey Creek. The Gravel Point Formation consists of a lithographic gray to brown limestone with shale beds up to 0.5 meters thick; it also includes chert nodules and bioherms (fossilized reef mounds). The Charlevoix Limestone is a mildly argillaceous limestone with interbedded coquina. The Petoskey Formation is an arenaceous limestone named for its locale (Petoskey, Michigan), and contains the eponymous Petoskey stones. The Whiskey Creek Formation is a limestone.

The Traverse Group formed as a shallow carbonate shelf during the Devonian period (~419 to 359 Ma), when the most recent supercontinent, Pangea, was just beginning to take shape.

title: 1991 Jakarta Indonesian Air Force C-130 crash

text:
The 1991 Indonesian Air Force Lockheed C-130 Hercules crash happened on 5 October 1991 when an Indonesian Air Force Lockheed C-130H-30 Hercules, A-1324, crashed shortly after takeoff from Jakarta-Halim Perdana Kusuma Airport due to an engine fire.

Sequence of events
A-1324 (serial number - 4927, model L-82), was delivered from the 32nd Transport Squadron in June 1982. The military flight was from Jakarta to Bandung, and mainly consisted of Paskhas, (also called Orange Berets), returning to base after participating in an Indonesian Armed Forces Day ceremony.

The aircraft had a crew of 12 and 122 airman passengers. The aircraft departed at 15:00 local time when, according to eyewitnesses on the ground, one of the engines caught on fire. The fire presumably damaged the wing mechanism, causing the left engine to fail. The aircraft lost control, crashed into the Training Center of the Ministry of Labor, and exploded. Rescue operations were hampered by heavy rain which began an hour after the crash. One of the pilots, Major Samsul Ilham, was found in the wreckage alive but seriously injured. He later died in the hospital the same day.

A man survived the crash. Two people on the ground were also killed. With 135 fatalities, the crash was the deadliest aviation disaster to occur in Indonesia until the crash of Garuda Indonesia Flight 152 in 1997. It is now the sixth-deadliest.

title: Edward Michael Whitty

text:
Edward Michael Whitty (1827–1860) was an English journalist, known for biting parliamentary reporting, and credited for popularising the concept of the "governing classes".

Life
The son of Michael James Whitty, was born in London, and was educated at the Liverpool Institute and in Hanover. About 1844 he became a reporter on the provincial press, and from 1846 to 1849 he was the writer of the parliamentary summary of The Times. He was also the London correspondent of the Liverpool Journal.

For several years Whitty served with George Henry Lewes and E. F. S. Pigott on the staff of The Leader, where his sarcastic style came out in parliamentary sketches. These columns built up with essays, published from 14 August 1852), to the innovative description of the debates by "The Stranger in Parliament" appearing from 13 November that year. In time, however, Whitty quarrelled with his colleagues on The Leader.

Whitty was appointed editor of the Northern Whig early in 1857, but was sacked in the spring of 1858. He returned for a time to London, and on the death of his wife and two children emigrated to Australia to work on the Melbourne Argus. He died at Melbourne, at the house of a relative, on 21 February 1860. A few years later a monument was erected to his memory.

Works
A selection from Whitty's parliamentary sketches was published anonymously in 1854 as the History of the Session 1852–3: a Parliamentary Retrospect. A volume entitled The Derbyites and the Coalition (1854?) is assigned to Whitty by Samuel Austin Allibone. A series of Whitty's Leader articles was collected in The Governing Classes of Great Britain: Political Portraits (London, 1854; with additions, 1859). The volume is said to have greatly impressed Montalembert. The phrase "the governing classes" is earlier found in Thomas Carlyle (Cromwell's Letters and Speeches, 1845, ii. 150), but became identified with Whitty's volume; Robert Barnabas Brough dedicated to him in 1855 his Songs of the Governing Classes.

Whitty dashed off a novel Friends of Bohemia, or Phases of London Life (London, 1857, 2 vols.; New York and Philadelphia, 1864, with memoir). It contained satire and epigrams directed at former colleagues on The Leader.

Sir Andrew Judde or Judd (5 September 1492 – 1558) was a 16th-century English merchant and Lord Mayor of London. He was knighted on 15 February 1551.

He was born in Tonbridge, the third son of John Judde, (d. 1493), gentleman, and Margaret, daughter of Valentine Chiche. His mother was the granddaughter of an earlier Lord Mayor of London, Robert Chichele, and great-niece of Henry Chichele, Archbishop of Canterbury, and William Chichele, Sheriff of London. He left for London and apprenticed with the Skinners Company; he was later the master of the company for four terms. He accumulated a large fortune, part of which he used to establish  Tonbridge School in his home town. During his career as a merchant, he personally travelled to Russia, Spain, and the coast of Africa. He served as one of the Sheriffs of London in 1544, and was elected Lord Mayor of London in 1550.

title: Tamar Iveri

text:
Tamar Iveri (, born 8 September 1971) is a Georgian opera soprano. She was born as Tamar Javakhishvili () in Tbilisi, the daughter of the baritone Avtandil Javakhishvili who was also her teacher.

Career
Iveri made her operatic debut in 1998 as Desdemona in Verdi's Otello. In 1999 she won first prize at the Mozart Competition in Salzburg. For several years at the beginning of the 2000s she was a member of the ensemble of Graz Opera where her roles included Elisabetta in Verdi's Don Carlo, the title roles in Francesco Cilea's Adriana Lecouvreur and Giacomo Puccini's Suor Angelica, Amelia in Verdi's Simon Boccanegra, and Desdemona.

She made her debut at La Scala in Milan in December 2011 as Donna Anna in Don Giovanni under Daniel Barenboim. She has since performed with the Vienna State Opera, the Metropolitan Opera, the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Opéra Bastille, and at the Salzburg Festival. She has sung the roles of Fiordiligi in Così fan tutte, Vitellia in La clemenza di Tito, Elettra in Idomeneo, Mimì in La bohème, and Tatyana in Eugene Onegin.

Controversy
Iveri has been the centre of controversy over statements she allegedly made concerning the 2013 Tbilisi anti-homophobia rally protests, in which a small gay rights rally in Tbilisi was attacked by thousands of anti-gay protesters, led by priests, causing over 20 injuries. Following this incident, Iveri allegedly posted on her Facebook page a letter to Georgian President Giorgi Margvelashvili which said (in Georgian): "I was quite proud of the fact how Georgian society spat at the parade... Often, in certain cases, it is necessary to break jaws in order to be appreciated as a nation in the future, and to be taken into account seriously. Please, stop vigorous attempts to bring West's 'fecal masses' in the mentality of the people by means of propaganda."

Following the appearance of this letter, the Georgian gay rights organisation Identoba wrote to the Paris Opera demanding that Iveri's upcoming concert be cancelled. Their letter said: "We would like to bring your attention to homophobic and hate inspiring activity by one of your opera singers, Ms Tamar Iveri, resulting in death threats and physical injuries to many Georgians." Iveri then apologised, but did not at that time deny authorship of the letter.

In June 2014, controversy broke out again while Iveri was in Sydney rehearsing Otello with Opera Australia. She then denied having written the letter, blaming her husband. After several days of intense criticism, Opera Australia announced on 23 June that it had "released" Iveri from her contract. Also the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels dropped her from its production of Un ballo in maschera in 2015.

title: Michael W. Ferro Jr.

text:
Michael W. Ferro Jr. (born 1966) is an American businessman and tech entrepreneur, founder of Click Commerce and Higi, as well as several other companies including Merrick Ventures, a Chicago-based private equity firm. From February 2016 to March 2018, he was the non-executive chairman of Tribune Publishing, one of the largest newspaper publishers in the United States.

Ferro founded Click Commerce in 1994 and took it public in 2000 before its sale to Illinois Tool Works in 2006. A multiple patent holder for medical diagnostic imaging, in 2008, Ferro acquired a stake in Merge Healthcare, a medical data and imaging company, and served as its chairman until its acquisition by IBM in 2016. In 2012, he founded Higi, a company that produces biometric screening stations. From 2011 until early 2016, he served as the chairman of Wrapports, which owns the Chicago Sun-Times.

Early life and education
Michael W. Ferro Jr. was born in 1966 in Merrick, New York, to Onna M. () and Michael W. Ferro. When Michael Jr. was 15 years old, the family moved to suburban Chicago, Illinois. Ferro earned a degree in psychology from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) in 1989.

Career
While attending high school, Ferro started his first company, Chem Roof, a roof sealant business. He continued to develop and operate the company full-time while attending UIC. In 1992, Chem Roof was acquired by Pettibone, an equipment manufacturer based in Lisle, Illinois. Ferro joined Pettibone at the time of the transaction, and at the age of 25, became the company's youngest division president. He devised a plan for the company to place its inventory and price sheets on the Internet so customers could process their own orders, a revolutionary concept for the manufacturing industry at the time.

In 1994, Ferro left Pettibone to establish Click Commerce, a company that provides business application software. At the age of 33, Ferro took Click Commerce public. With an initial public offering date of June 30, 2000, Click Commerce was one of the first tech companies to reopen the market after the tech crash in March of that year. Ferro's success in his early career made him one of the youngest people named to the Forbes "Tech's 100 Highest Rollers" list. During this time, Ferro was named Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2003 by the Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization, and won the KPMG Illinois High Tech award as well as the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year in Technology award. In 2006, he sold Click Commerce to Illinois Tool Works, a client of the company, for $292 million.

In 2007, Ferro founded Merrick Ventures LLC, a private equity firm that connects investors with tech companies. He also founded the Illinois Accelerator (I2a) Fund the same year. Through Merrick Ventures, Ferro acquired a stake in Merge Healthcare, a Milwaukee-based medical data company that he relocated to Chicago. After he brought the company out of the brink of bankruptcy, Merge Healthcare was sold to IBM in 2016 for $1 billion.

In 2012, Ferro founded Higi with Khan Siddiqui. The company produces biometric screening stations installed in public places that can measure a person's weight, body mass index, pulse and blood pressure, which users can track using an app. In 2013, Chicago-based rapper Lupe Fiasco joined the company as creative director and was part of the company's debut with Ferro and Siddiqui at that year's South by Southwest in Austin, Texas. In 2014, Higi reached a deal with pharmacy chain Rite Aid to become its sole provider of health stations. Higi received an investment from BlueCross BlueShield Venture Partners in March 2017.

As the chairman and CEO of Merrick Ventures, Ferro was the founding chairman of Wrapports which is the parent company of the Chicago Sun-Times. In February 2016, Merrick Ventures invested $44.4 million in the Chicago-based company Tribune Publishing, which is the parent company of the Chicago Tribune. This made Ferro and Merrick Ventures the then top shareholder of Tribune Publishing. Ferro was appointed non-executive chairman of Tribune Publishing. He donated his shares in the Sun-Times to a charitable trust to avoid antitrust issues.

In March 2018, Ferro was allegedly involved in sexual harassment of two women, Kathryn Minshew and Hagan Kappler. Minshew, the founder of career website The Muse, accused Ferro making sexual advances toward her at a corporate apartment in Chicago in 2013. Kappler, while working for the firm Ingersoll Rand, claims to have been groped by Ferro in a Las Vegas hotel suite in early 2016. Ferro resigned from Tribune Publishing a few hours before the news about these allegations were published in media. In November 2019, Ferro also sold his 25% share in Tribune Publishing to Alden Global Capital.

Other memberships and philanthropy
In 2005, Ferro was named co-chairman of the Chicagoland Entrepreneurial Center alongside Jim O'Connor Jr. and served on the Mayor's Council of Technology Advisors under Mayor Richard M. Daley. He also founded the Merrick Momentum Awards, an annual event to honor the top three-year-old Chicago corporation. In 2006, Ferro was the Chairman of the Sports Advisory Council, a board of corporate citizens named by Mayor Daley to lead the Chicago bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Personal life
Ferro is married to Jacqueline J. Ferro, president of Ferro Farms Cider. They have three children.

In March 2018, the company launched a pre-booking DTH offer. The company took bookings and collected revenue from customers, but the service connections were not installed. After launching the DTH offer, the Pantel Technologies & Veecon Media group rebrand the company as Independent TV.

The company was unable to provide installation to customers and not returned money to there millions of customers which they collected without installation as prebooking offer, they since their agreement with STAR India group had expired due to nonpayment. On 23 July 2018, Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) requested Star India and Independent TV to enter into a fresh agreement within 4 weeks.

The company's service was disrupted after further payments to the Antrix corporation were missed. Independent TV closed its services on 12 June 2019.

Independent TV Limited is a DTH Licensee of the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (MIB), Govt of India. This license has been renewed on 19 June 2019 for a further period of six (6) months, like for all other DTH licensees in India today, and is valid till 31 December 2019. All the conditions precedents defined by MIB, Govt of India, have already been successfully complied with, and acknowledged as of 5 July 2019. The satellite services of the DTH operator are temporarily suspended. Independent TV limited has launched a new go-to-market business drive named “ITV 2.0” for its channel partners, to resume its Business Operations again for consumer acquisition and service delivery As of January 2020, with TRAI's The Indian Telecom Services Performance Indicator Report July – September 2019, it has acknowledge that Independent TV has fully shut down operations taking the count of pay dth operators to four.

title: Bluestone Formation

text:
The Bluestone Formation is a geologic formation in West Virginia. It is the youngest unit of the Upper Mississippian-age Mauch Chunk Group. A pronounced unconformity separates the upper boundary of the Bluestone Formation from sandstones of the overlying Pennsylvanian-age Pocahontas Formation.

Fossils

Two formally named subunits of the Bluestone Formation, the Bramwell and Pride Shale Members, are quite fossiliferous. Plant fossils allow the top of the Bluestone Formation to be correlated with the Namurian A-Namurian B boundary, the European equivalent of the Mississippian-Pennsylvanian boundary. Conodonts belonging to the Adetognathus unicornis or lower Rhachistognathus muricatus conodont zones have been found in the Bramwell Member. This would make the Bluestone Formation the youngest occurrence of Mississippian-type conodonts in eastern North America. A diverse bivalve fauna was present in both the Bluestone Formation and the older Hinton Formation. Brachiopods were also fairly diverse, though not as dominant in the ecosystem as bivalves. Among the most abundant fossils were fossilized tubes of Microconchus hintonensis, a microconchid. The Pride Shale Member has produced Tanypterichthys pridensis, an endemic species of deep-bodied palaeonisciform fish.

Deposition
The Pride Shale Member of the Bluestone Formation preserves interbedded variations in sediment coarseness. This variation is cyclical at multiple scales, with cycles from smaller than a millimeter to up to several meters in thickness. The smallest-scale cycles likely represent sediments settling out during daily tides. The largest-scale cycles are tied to changes in the tides influenced by the 18.6-year lunar nodal cycle. Cycles are also observed at half-year, monthly, and half-month scales. These correspond to seasonal changes, perigee/apogee tidal variation, and neap/spring tidal variation, respectively. Together, the different cycles reconstruct a deltaic environment near the equator which was heavily influenced by tides and a monsoonal climate. Modern equivalents would be the deltas of the Amazon, Ganges/Brahmaputra, and Fly rivers. During glacial periods, the monsoonal climate would have mellowed out into a less seasonal tropical climate in equatorial regions.

title: Bluefield Formation

text:
The Bluefield Formation is a geologic formation in West Virginia. It preserves fossils dating back to the Mississippian subperiod of the Carboniferous period. Sediments of this age formed along a large marine basin lying in the region of what is now the Appalachian Plateau. The Bluefield Formation is the lowest section of the primarily siliciclastic Mauch Chunk Group, underlying the Stony Gap Sandstone Member of the Hinton Formation and overlying the limestone-rich Greenbrier Group.

History
As with many other units in southeast West Virginia, the Bluefield Formation was first named by Campbell (1896). At the time it was called the "Bluefield Shale". Reger & Price (1926) later renamed it to the Bluefield Group and supplied an extensive list of subunits. Subsequent publications further altered the name to Bluefield Formation while also naming the encompassing Mississippian sequence as the Mauch Chunk Group. As originally designated, the Bluefield Formation pertained to an area in southeast West Virginia encompassed by Mercer, Monroe, and Summers counties, as well as a few exposures in Virginia adjacent to those counties.

Further north in West Virginia, Mauch Chunk strata becomes thinner. Some geologists refrain from subdividing the Mauch Chunk Group north of Randolph County, and rename it to the Mauch Chunk Formation in northern exposures. However, others retain separate formations in the northern exposures, including the Bluefield Formation. Since the Mauch Chunk Group extends into parts of Maryland and Pennsylvania, the Bluefield Formation (or equivalent strata) may be identified in those areas as well. Equivalent strata is also found in southwest Virginia and southeast Kentucky as the upper part of the Newman Limestone.

Geology

Sequences and cycles

The Bluefield Formation can be subdivided into four lithological units or "packages" at its thickest extent. The oldest two packages are primarily grey shale and fossiliferous limestone, while the younger two packages are primarily siltstone, sandstone, and red mudstone. Four distinct types of sediment deposition and flooding cycles are preserved, labelled types A-D. Type A and B cycles are most common in the younger packages and type C and D cycles are most common in the older packages. These cycles and sequences of the Bluefield Formation are most well preserved at the depocenter of the Bluefield Formation, at the eastern edge of Mercer County, West Virginia. Here, at least 28 cycles have been tracked. Elsewhere they may be incomplete due to erosion within the basin as it was experiencing deposition.

Type A cycles involve fine black shale grading upwards to brown laminated mudstone, then thickly-bedded red mudstone and mud-cracked siltstone layers, before a flood event returns the area to carbonate-rich mudstone. Ostracods, root casts, and intense bioturbation were common in many layers. Coal fragments are found in the basal black shale layers. Carbonate nodules and slickensides were present in red mudstone, indicating that they were vertisols. Type A cycles represent brackish lagoons which were able to dry out into mudflats in a hot, semi-arid climate. The mudflats accumulated soil, as well as streams that formed silty crevasse splay deposits.

Type B cycles were similar to type A cycles but were thicker and differed in other ways. The basal black shale is richer in coal and grades into siltier brown mudstone and then interbedded layers of siltstone, sandstone, and silty mudstone. The top of a cycle is characterized by a thick layer of rippling cross-bedded sandstone filled with root casts. Type B cycles represent a delta influenced by tides which alternate the supply of fine and coarse sediments. However, bioturbation makes it difficult to precisely track tidal forces. The top of a cycle preserves a sandbar in the process of being colonized by plants. Once seawater re-submerges the area and starts a new cycle, plants contribute to the richness of coal within the basal shale.

Type C cycles begin with bioturbated mudstone which abruptly transitions into a thick sequence of limestone. The limestone can be characterized as thin layers of fossil-rich grainstone interbedding with broader layers of packstone. Rarely, brown laminated mudstone may be present above the limestone. The upper part of the cycle involves conglomerate covered by sandstone and siltstone filled with plant fragments, ripple marks, and occasionally tetrapod footprints. In type C cycles, a transgression floods a mudflat and allows it to be colonized by marine organisms. Repeated storm event lead to alternating limestone grain size, and eventually tidally-influenced sandbars manifest as the shoreline shifts back.

Type D cycles primarily involve a thick sequence of laminated mudstone grading from shale to siltstone. The sequence is occasionally interrupted by fossil-rich packstone which grades upwards into mudstone. The thickest packstone layer is often located at the top of the sequence, though dolomite-rich mudstone may lie in its place. Type D cycles are entirely marine deposits found on the continental shelf of the ancient marine basin. Though this is a mostly stable environment, it is regularly disrupted by storms (forming siltstone) and turbidity flows (forming packstone). The gradual increase in sediment size is tied to a regressing coastline, allowing shallow-water sediments to influence the environment more.

Collectively, the cycles and "packages" of the Bluefield Formation represent a series of large-scale sea level changes, each lasting several hundred thousand years. This data is consistent with identifying each package as a fourth-order sequence. This likely means that they are tied to glacial periods as the earth was transitioning from a greenhouse to icehouse climate. The individual sediment cycles represent smaller-scale (50-100 thousand year) glacial sea level fluctuations, also known fifth-order sequences or parasequences. The upper two packages of the Bluefield Formation have more parasequences and more coal near the depocenter, but areas further away (towards the basin margin) had fewer parasequences and less coal. This indicates that the basin margins had less subsidence compared to the depocenter. The relatively larger impact of sea level changes leads to more erosion along the basin margin, allowing many parasequences and coal beds to be eroded away completely.

Paleobiota

Fossils are common in limestone and shale layers of the Bluefield Formation. In the region of southeast West Virginia (and neighboring parts of Virginia) for which the Bluefield Formation was named, invertebrates are by far the most common fossils. These include a diverse assortment of bryozoans, brachiopods, bivalves, gastropods, corals, trilobites, ostracods, crinoids, and blastoids. Only one site in southeast West Virginia has produced vertebrate material. This site is a highway roadcut located across the state line from Glen Lyn, Virginia. It preserves a tidal deltaic sequence near the middle of the Bluefield Formation. Tetrapod trackways from this site have been given the species name Hylopus hamesi, and were likely made by Proterogyrinus or a closely related animal. The site has also produced a single complete skeleton of a basal actinopterygiian fish, the holotype of Bluefieldius mercerensis.

The tentatively assigned northern exposures of the Bluefield Formation are also fossiliferous, preserving the same types of invertebrates as the southern exposures. Bivalves are particularly well-studied in the northern exposures. Among the most famous northern Mauch Chunk site is the Greer limestone quarry in Monongalia County, West Virginia. Exposures at this site have been equated with sediment units from the lower half of the Bluefield Formation, from the Lillydale Shale up to the Droop Sandstone. Apart from numerous invertebrates, a prominent vertebrate fauna is also known from the Bickett Shale of the Bluefield Formation at Greer. Preserved vertebrate fossils include acanthodians, lungfish, rhizodonts, and articulated tetrapod remains. Several new tetrapod genera have been named from Greer: Greererpeton (a colosteid), Proterogyrinus (a basal embolomere), and Mauchchunkia (a synonym of Proterogyrinus).

title: NATO Defense College

text:
NATO Defense College  (NDC) is the international military college for North Atlantic Treaty Organization countries. It is located in Rome, Italy.

History

The idea of a NATO Defense College originated with General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the first Supreme Allied Commander Europe, who identified very early on the need for a new international institution with a unique education mission. On 19 November 1951, the NATO Defense College opened its doors to Course 1 in Paris. In 1966, France withdrew from the Alliance's integrated military structure and the College moved to the EUR quartier of Rome, where it continues to fulfil its mission.

On 10 September 1999, the new College building, twice the size of the old one, was inaugurated in Cecchignola Città Militare, a military zone 2 km from the former site. On 13–14 October 2016, the NATO Defense College celebrated the 50th anniversary of its move to Rome and the 65th anniversary of its foundation.

Mission
In response to Strategic Guidance issued to the NDC by the North Atlantic Council and the NATO Military Committee (MC123/8), the NDC Mission is:

 Contribute to effectiveness and cohesion of Alliance
 Foster strategic level thinking on pol-mil matters
 Develop major center of education, study, and research:
 Prepare selected officers and officials for important NATO and NATO-related multinational appointments
 Conduct academic studies and research in support of the Alliance's wider goals
 Support an active outreach programme with other educational institutions

Organization

The commandant is an officer with the rank of Lieutenant-General. In July 2019, Lieutenant-General Olivier Rittimann of the French Army assumed command.

To accomplish its mission the college is organized into four main divisions that perform education and research tasks coordinated by the dean (civilian equivalent of a 2-star general) of the college.

The divisions work closely together to provide breadth, flexibility and quality of high-level strategic education.

The Director of Management (a Brigadier General) supervises management of the NDC's financial and technical resources with the aim of improving the quality of life in the college and creating the best conditions for work and study.

Education

Six regular courses are held at the college:
The Senior Course: The most important course at the NDC. It lasts 5½ months and runs twice a year. Some 15 weeks are spent in the college, with the rest of the time on Field Studies. There is a 2-3 day crisis management exercise at the end of the Course. The Course is open to officers (Colonels, Lieutenant Colonels) and civilian officials and diplomats (of equivalent rank). Over 200 attend each year (approximately 25% civilian). The Senior Course is open not only to NATO nations but also to Partnership for Peace-Mediterranean Dialogue-Istanbul Cooperation Initiative nations, Contact Countries and Iraq.
Generals, Flag Officers & Ambassadors' Course (GFOAC): This high-level course seeks to enhance mutual understanding of security concerns and of NATO's interests and capabilities among Generals and Flag Officers and high-ranking civilians including ambassadors from NATO, PfP, Med Dialogue and ICI nations, Contact Countries & Iraq. It also provides opportunities for networking among one- to three-star officers and civilians of equivalent rank.
NATO Regional Cooperation Course (NRCC):  Commissioned by the North Atlantic Council at the Riga summit in 2006, after two years of preparation the NRCC was inaugurated at the College in 2009 to link issues of concern to both MD and ICI Nations and NATO, and to develop mutual understanding and networking among participants. It shares lecturers with the Senior Course (40% of the time), and also has its own separate facilities and lecturers, mostly from the ME region, and its own Faculty Advisors and staff. The NRCC offers a ten-week academic programme twice each year.
Modular Short Courses (MSCs): The NDC offers five MSCs during every Senior Course for the duration 5 days. This is an opportunity for military officers and civilian officials who may not be able to attend the NDC for a six-month period. Each MSC is designed to both inform and stimulate the participants by providing the opportunity to improve their knowledge and develop their understanding of some of the key political, economic, socio-cultural, defence and security related issues which may have worldwide implications for global and Alliance security.
Senior Executive Regional Conference (SERC): This week-long conference is dedicated to a select, high-profile group of diplomats, senior officials, high-ranking officers, policy planners and researchers, from NATO member states as well as from the Alliance's partner countries in the Gulf and Mediterranean area. Participants successfully engaged in an intensive week of study, dialogue and open discussion on the strategic issues which are currently of particular relevance to the security of the countries represented.
Integrated Partner Orientation Course (IPOC): The aim of the Integrated Partner Orientation Course (IPOC) is to improve participants' knowledge of the NATO Alliance; its missions, roles and priorities; its internal structures and organisation; and its external relations with partner nations and international institutions. The course examines the way in which each of these elements is evolving to reflect changes in the international security environment, which is similar to the structure of the NDC Senior Course.

Research

Research at the NATO Defense College, carried out by the Research Division (RD), provides the NATO's senior leaders with timely analyses and recommendations on current issues concerning the Alliance. The activities of the RD can help to convey NATO's positions to the wider audience of the international strategic community. The RD performs its tasks mainly through research papers – short academic essays and academic reports, and forum papers – in-depth studies, analyses and reports.

Over the last year, the Research Division published about 20 studies and analyses, about 30 articles in journals (International Herald Tribune, International Affairs, Defense News, Politique Étrangère, Washington Times, etc.), was regularly quoted in the New York Times, Newsweek, Le Figaro and news agencies, etc. The RD also organized 8 conferences and workshops and co-facilitated Reykjavik Conferences on Arctic Security and a Military Committee workshop on the Strategic Concept.

Outreach activities

The NDC has four main outreach activities:

The Conference of Commandants (of Defence Colleges)
Which has a dual purpose.
firstly, to facilitate the exchange of information between those responsible for higher defence education with a view to improving curricula and teaching methods;
secondly, to promote cooperation in higher defence education between colleges in NATO countries and their counterparts in central and east European and Mediterranean Dialogue countries.

Kyiv Week

NATO's support for senior military education in Ukraine started with the first "International Week", held in February 2001. Since then a similar course has been running every year involving more than 500 participants at a time.
The formal aims of the International Week are:
to improve knowledge of NATO, its organization and working methods;
to discuss the challenges facing the Atlantic Alliance and its partners in today's security environment;
to address key, current issues in the field of international security; *to demonstrate the importance of a strong partnership between Ukraine and NATO.

The Partnership for Peace Consortium of Defense Academies and Security Studies Institutes

Was established in 1999 at the Washington Summit as a Consortium of the Willing and founded in the spirit of Partnership for Peace (PfP). By Military Committee direction, the NATO Defense College "is the focal military point of contact within NATO" for the consortium, composed of 300 organizations in 46 countries. The NDC is actively involved in 6 of the 10 working groups.

Advanced Distributed Learning

ADL's goal is to provide learning systems that are both more effective and more cost-effective. Course members must follow at least one of the three different ADL courses, to ensure that they have all attained the same level of knowledge before embarking on the Senior Course.

The Introduction to NATO (the NATO Defense College is the content provider for this course); European Security and Defence Policy, and RMA - the Revolution in Military Affairs.

title: Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records

text:
Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records (stylised in all lowercase) is the second studio album by German electronic music producer Jan Jelinek. It was released on 2 February 2001 by the label ~scape.

Production
Jan Jelinek recorded Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records in his Berlin flat in 2000. He produced much of the album using an Ensoniq ASR-10 sampler. Jelinek composed the tracks on Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records around heavily manipulated samples from jazz records, an approach acknowledged in the album's title, though reviews have noted the album bears virtually no resemblance to the jazz genre and "the sounds' origins are barely perceptible".

Critical reception

Reviewing Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records for Pitchfork, critic Mark Richardson said that Jelinek distinguishes himself from other glitch artists through his more evident "ear for emotion" on the album, which Richardson credited to "the textures he chooses, which veer toward the liquid and organic", and "the manner in which Jelinek operates." In his review for AllMusic, Richardson highlighted the album's more varied rhythms and "richer sound palette" compared to Jelinek's past work.

In 2017, Pitchfork placed Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records at number seven on its list of the 50 best IDM albums of all time. According to Brian Kolada of Resident Advisor, the album has gone on to be "widely hailed as a highlight of the late-'90s and early-'00s era of minimal and experimental electronic music."
