title: Lake Washington (Mississippi)

text:
Lake Washington is an oxbow lake in Washington County, Mississippi, United States.

Once part of the contiguous Mississippi River, Lake Washington formed when the river changed its course about 1300 AD.

Characteristics
Lake vegetation includes duckweed and cypress trees.

Fish species found in Lake Washington include bowfin, bream (bluegill), buffalo, bullhead, carp, channel catfish, crappie, drum, flathead catfish, gar, green sunfish, hybrid white bass, largemouth bass, minnows, silversides and yellow bass.

History
The first permanent residence in Washington County was located on Lake Washington.  Frederick G. Turnbull settled on the lake in 1826 and named his place Linden  The home currently located on the site, Linden, was erected in 1914 and was built by P.L. Mann and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (HRHP).

Another pre-Civil War mansion, Mount Holly, constructed on the east shore of Lake Washington, is also listed on the NRHP.

The Junius Ward home was built at Erwin in 1826 as a log cabin, still standing today and is still owned by the same family.

The Law House, an impressive mansion overlooking the lake built in 1902, was ordered as a kit from the Sears & Roebuck Company, and was used in the filming of the 2012 movie Haunted.

Roy's Store is located on the north shore of the lake, and is noted for being in business at that location for over 100 years.

Pollution
Most of the land surrounding Lake Washington is used extensively for agriculture.  This has made the lake vulnerable to runoff of fertilizer, pesticides and herbicides.  In 1973, the lake was closed to commercial fishing due to contamination, and in 1990, a blue-green algal bloom formed in the lake, which killed 14 dogs that drank from the water.  Since then, extensive efforts have been made to reduce the lake's pollution.

title: ARM Cortex-A17

text:
The ARM Cortex-A17 is a 32-bit processor core implementing the ARMv7-A architecture, licensed by ARM Holdings.  Providing up to four cache-coherent cores, it serves as the successor to the Cortex-A9 and replaces the previous ARM Cortex-A12 specifications.  ARM claims that the Cortex-A17 core provides 60% higher performance than the Cortex-A9 core, while reducing the power consumption by 20% under the same workload.

ARM renamed Cortex-A12 to a variant of Cortex-A17 since the second revision of the A12 core in early 2014, because these two were indistinguishable in performance and all features available in the A17 were used as upgrades in the A12.

New features of the Cortex-A17 specification, not found in the Cortex-A9 specification, are all improvements from the third-generation ARM Cortex-A, which also includes the Cortex-A7 and Cortex-A15:
 Hardware virtualization and 40-bit Large Physical Address Extensions (LPAE) addressing
 Full-system coherency, bringing support for the big.LITTLE architecture
 NEON unit, for floating-point data and SIMD processing
 Deeper integer instruction pipeline, with 10–12 stages
 Full out-of-order execution design with load/store units

Modern Linux kernel implementations will report and support the above features thus :

 processor       : 3
 model name      : ARMv7 Processor rev 1 (v7l)
 BogoMIPS        : 48.00
 Features        :
 CPU implementer : 0x41
 CPU architecture: 7
 CPU variant     : 0x0
 CPU part        : 0xc0d
 CPU revision    : 1

title: Four Star Playhouse (radio program)

text:
Four Star Playhouse is a radio dramatic anthology series in the United States. The 30-minute program was broadcast on NBC beginning in July 1949 and was sustaining. It lasted only three months.<ref>"W. C. Hiatus Starters Feeling NBC Axe". The Billboard. August 27, 1949. P. 7.</ref>Four Star Playhouse was one of "at least 10" new programs developed for that summer by NBC's [West] Coast programming department. A story in the July 2, 1949, issue of The Billboard reported that NBC "is now keyed to the recent programming drive, launched to offset Columbia Broadcasting System's (CBS) talent raids, and is anxious to use summer hiatus periods to develop shows worthy of fall bankrolling. Hence, the new raft of airers will not be treated as fill-in shows, but produced with an eye to long-term web tenancy."
Radio historian John Dunning put the production surge in context:The Four Star Playhouse was a 1949 NBC effort ... quickly put together as part of the network's barrage against CBS. During the previous summer, CBS had raided the top of NBC's comedy line, luring Jack Benny, "Amos and Andy," and others into a network jump. NBC's reaction was almost frantic: a battery of new shows like this one, featuring glamor and lots of big names.
Other NBC shows developed as a part of that effort included Hollywood Calling, Screen Directors Playhouse, Dragnet, Richard Diamond and Trouble with the Truitts.

Despite the star power of the show's four featured artists, Dunning noted, "the new NBC lineup just couldn't compete against the old, which CBS stacked into the same time slots on Sunday. Most of the new shows vanished from the air within months, and The Four Star Playhouse was one of them."
Three years after Four Star Playhouse's demise on radio, the same format was used -- with different stars -- for a TV version that ran for four years. See Four Star Playhouse.

 Format and Cast

The show's title came from the fact that it was built around "four major film stars, each of whom was featured in turn in the weekly presentations." They were Fred MacMurray, Loretta Young, Rosalind Russell and Robert Cummings.
As an anthology series, Four Star Playhouse did not have a standard cast. However, many radio actors and actresses of that time appeared in episodes. They included Elliot Lewis, Shirley Mitchell, Paul Frees, Ross Taylor, Will Wright, Lurene Tuttle, William Conrad, Wilms Herbert, Lawrence Dobkin, Betty Moran, Frank Lovejoy, George Neise, Janet Waldo, Jeanne Bates, Joe DuVal, Willard Waterman, Jack Edwards, Mary Jane Croft, Frank Nelson, Charles Seel, Herb Butterfield, Jeff Chandler, Shepard Menken, Dan O'Herlihy and Ken Christy.  Frank Barton was the announcer.
Episodes were adapted by writer Milton Geiger from short stories in Cosmopolitan'' magazine.

Episodes

The series' entire run consisted of 12 episodes. Their dates, titles and stars were as follows:

title: 33rd Battalion, CEF

text:
The 33rd Battalion, CEF, was an infantry battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the Great War.

History
The battalion was authorized on 7 November 1914 and embarked for Great Britain on 1 April 1916. It was re designated as the 33rd Reserve Battalion, CEF on 6 April 1916 and it provided reinforcements for the Canadian Corps in the field until 6 July 1916, when its personnel were absorbed by the 36th Battalion, CEF. The battalion was disbanded on 17 July 1917.

The 33rd Battalion recruited and was mobilized in London, Ontario.

The 33rd Battalion had two Officers Commanding:

Lt.-Col. A Wilson, 17 March 1916 – 2 June 1916
Maj. A.E. Bywater, 2 June 1916 – 2 August 1916

The 33rd Battalion was awarded the battle honour The GREAT WAR 1916.

Perpetuation
The 33rd Battalion, CEF, is perpetuated by The Royal Canadian Regiment.

title: ARM Cortex-A53

text:
The ARM Cortex-A53 is one of the first two central processing units implementing the ARMv8-A 64-bit instruction set designed by ARM Holdings' Cambridge design centre, along with the Cortex-A57. The Cortex-A53 is a 2-wide decode  superscalar processor, capable of dual-issuing some instructions.  It was announced October 30, 2012 and is marketed by ARM as either a stand-alone, more energy-efficient alternative to the more powerful Cortex-A57 microarchitecture, or to be used alongside a more powerful microarchitecture in a big.LITTLE configuration. It is available as an IP core to licensees, like other ARM intellectual property and processor designs.

Overview
 8-stage pipelined processor with 2-way superscalar, in-order execution pipeline
 DSP and NEON SIMD extensions are mandatory per core
 VFPv4 Floating Point Unit onboard (per core)
 Hardware virtualization support
 TrustZone security extensions
 64-byte cache lines
 10-entry L1 TLB, and 512-entry L2 TLB
 4KiB conditional branch predictor, 256-entry indirect branch predictor

Utilization
The Cortex-A53 is the most widely used platform for mobile SoCs since 2014 to the present day , making it one of the longest-running ARM platform for mobile devices. It is currently featured in most entry-level and lower mid-range SoCs, while higher-end SoCs used the newer ARM Cortex-A55. The latest SoC still using the Cortex-A53 is the MediaTek Helio G36, which is an entry-level SoC designed for budget smartphones.

The ARM Cortex-A53 processor has been used in the LeMaker HiKey since 2015, the Raspberry Pi 3 since February 2016, and the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W since October 2021.

The Cortex-A53 is also used in a number of Qualcomm, Samsung, and MediaTek SoCs. Semi-custom derivatives of the Cortex-A53 have been used in Qualcomm's Kryo 250 and Kryo 260 CPUs. The Starlink ground terminals utilize a quad-core Cortex-A53 SoC from STMicroelectronics as its main control unit.

The processor is used in the ODROID-C2 and in Roku streaming media players (in the high-end models from 2016 and in all models released between 2017 and 2019). Another notable Cortex-A53 application is the Pine A64/A64+ single-board computer.

These cores are used in a 24-core SoC, the Socionext SynQuacer SC2A11.

The processor is used in Amazon Fire tablets, including the Fire HD 8 and the Fire HD 10 (the latter also includes Cortex-A72 cores) as well as the Nintendo Switch. It is also used in some Amazon Echo Show models such as the Echo Show 5, Echo Show 8, and Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen).

The processor is used in Fortinet's Fortigate 81F entry-level firewalls.

title: Thermodynamic solar panel

text:
A thermodynamic solar panel is a type of air source heat pump. Instead of a large fan to take energy from the air, it has a flat plate collector. This means the system gains energy from the sun as well as the ambient air. Thermodynamic water heaters use a compressor to transfer the collected heat from the panel to the hot water system using refrigerant fluid that circulates in a closed cycle.

Renewable Heat Incentive
In the UK, thermodynamic solar panels cannot be used to claim the Renewable Heat Incentive. This is due to the lack of technical standards for the testing and installation. The UK Microgeneration Certification Scheme is working to develop a testing standard, either based on MIS 3001 or MIS 3005 or a brand new scheme document if appropriate.

Performance

Lab testing has been carried out by Das Wärmepumpen-Testzentrum Buchs (WPZ) in Buchs Switzerland on an Energi Eco 200esm/i thermodynamic solar panel system. This showed a Coefficient of performance of 2.8 or 2.9 (depending on tank volume).

In the UK, the first independent test is under-way at Narec Distributed Energy. So far data is available for January to April 2014. As with the Carnot cycle, the achievable efficiency is strongly dependent on the temperatures on both side of the system.

title: BeerXML

text:
BeerXML is a free, fully defined XML data description  standard designed for the exchange of beer brewing recipes  and other brewing data. Tables of recipes as well as other records such as hop schedules and malt bills can be represented using BeerXML for use by brewing software.

BeerXML is an open standard and as a subset of Extensible Markup Language (XML). BeerXML is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.

BeerXML is supported by a number of web sites, computer programmes  and an increasing number of Android  Windows Phone  and iOS apps.

Plugins and extensions supporting BeerXML have been written for a variety of platforms including Ruby via RubyGems, WordPress, PHP and JavaScript

Many brewing hardware manufacturers incorporate BeerXML into their systems and third party plugins and patches are being developed for brewery control hardware and embedded systems allowing the automation and fine control and timing of processes such as mashing  and potentially fermentation.

Common applications and examples of usage

BeerXML is used in both amateur and professional  brewing and facilitates the sharing of brewing data over the internet. Users of different applications such as the open-source software  Brewtarget (with more than 52,000 downloads  ) can share data via XML with users of popular proprietary software such as Beersmith and ORRTIZ: BMS 4 Breweries or upload their data to share on BeerXML compatible sharing sites and cloud platforms such as Brewtoad (over 50,000 registered users ) or the Beersmith Recipe Cloud (with 43,000 registered users). A user of a recipe design and sharing and creation site such as Brewersfriend.com can import and export BeerXML to and from mobile apps or enter it into a brewing competition database such as The Brew Competition Online Entry & Management (BCOE&M) system.

The adoption of BeerXML as a standard is leading to new developments such as ingredients databases which attempt to standardise ingredients definitions and characteristics. Brewers can use platforms like Brewblogger.com to create recipes and log their brewday for publication as a blog and for export to databases   and common spreadsheet applications.

JavaScript applications such as brauhaus.js (developed from the Malt.io recipe sharing site ) allow users to run them on a local machine or web browser for execution through any standards compliant web browser.

Limitations

BeerXML 1.0 supports no more than three fermentation steps.  While this is not a real world limitation for many brewers, it does introduce a discrepancy where a software tool or web service that allows several or unlimited fermentation steps wishes to implement BeerXML as an import/export mechanism. For example; where a fermentation schedule instruction to pitch at 21 degrees Celsius, allow to drop to 17 over three days and then decrease by 1 degree per day until the wort reaches 10 degrees, hold for 12 days before racking for maturation. This could not be accommodated within the formal structure requiring the use of informal/optional and non machine readable fields.

All units are converted to SI units internally. As a result, there is loss of precision when converting non SI units whether they be Imperial, US Customary or metric.

Hop oil contributions in the copper are not explicitly supported in the current definition.

Farsene levels are not explicitly supported in the current definition.

No distinction is made between weight and mass

Development

The BeerXML standard has a proposed second version which has been mooted and is under development. It has not been validated or published as its feature set is still under discussion.

XML Header

As in XML, all files begin with a header line as the first line.  After the XML header a record set should start (for example… or  … ).

Required XML Header Example with Recipes tag:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RECIPES>
  …
</RECIPES>

Tag Names

Tag names are always uppercase.  For example, "HOP" is acceptable, but "hop" and Hop" are not.

Version

All records have a required <VERSION> tag that denotes the version of the XML standard.  At present, all are set to the integer 1 for this version of the standard.  It is intended that future versions of the standard will be backward compatible with older versions, but the VERSION tag allows newer programmes to check for a higher version of the standard or do conversions if required to be backward compatible.

Data Formats

 Record Set – A special tag that starts a particular set of data.  For example, an XML table that consists of a set of hops records might start with a  tag to denote that this is the start of hops records.  After the last record, a  tag would be used.
 Record - Denotes a tag that starts or ends a particular record—for example "HOP" might start a hops record or "FERMENTABLE" might start a fermentable record.
 Percentage - Denotes a percentage - all percentages are expressed as percent out of 100- for example 10.4% is written as "10.4" and not "0.104"
 List - The data has only a fixed number of values that are selected from the list in the description table for the tag.  These items are case sensitive, and no other values are allowed.
 Text - The data is free format text.  For multiline entries, line breaks will be preserved where possible and the text may be truncated on import if the text is too long for the importing program to store.  Multiline entries may be split with either a newline (Unix format) or a carriage return – newline combination (DOS format).  Importing programmes should accept either.
 Boolean - The Boolean data type may be either TRUE or FALSE, with TRUE and FALSE in capitals.  A default value should be specified for optional fields - the default is used if the value is not present.
 Integer - An integer number with no decimal point.  May include negative values - examples include ...-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3,...
 Floating Point - A floating point number, usually expressed in its simplest form with a decimal point as in "1.2", "0.004", etc...  Programmes should endeavor to store as many significant digits as possible to avoid truncating or losing small values.

Units

All units are fixed.  It is the responsibility of the importing or exporting programme to convert to and from the units below if needed.

 Weight Units All weights are measured in Kilograms (kg).  For small values the exporting programme will make an effort to preserve as many significant digits as possible.

 Volume Units All volumes are measured in Litres (l).  For small values the exporting programme will make an effort to preserve as many significant digits as possible.

 Temperature Units All temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius.

 Time Units All times are given in minutes or fractions thereof – unless otherwise specified in the tag description.

 Specific Gravity Units Specific gravity are measured relative to the weight of the same size sample of water. For example, “1.035”, “1.060”, and so on.

 Pressure Units Pressures are measured in kilopascals (kPa)

Non-Standard Tags

As per the XML standard, all non-standard tags should be ignored by the importing program. This allows an implementation to store additional information if desired by using their own tags. Any tags not defined as part of this standard may safely be ignored by the importing program.

Optional tags

The optional 'Appendix A' adds tags for use in the display of brewing data using XML style sheets or XML compatible report generators.  As the tags in the appendix are for display only and may include rounded values and varying units.  These appendix tags are intended for display and not for data import.

title: Everett Worthington

text:
Everett L. Worthington Jr. is a licensed clinical psychologist and Professor of Psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). His research interests include forgiveness and other virtues, religion and spirituality in clinical practice, and the hope-focused approach to counseling couples.  He has written over 30 books on topics including forgiveness of others, self-forgiveness, character strength, religion and psychology, and couples' therapy, and he has published over 350 scholarly articles and chapters.  Worthington has been frequently cited as an expert on his topics of interest in the scientific literature and public media.

Education and career
Born in Knoxville, Tennessee, Worthington attended the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and was awarded an undergraduate degree in nuclear engineering in 1968. He attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology on an Atomic Energy Commission Special Fellowship and received his SMNE in 1970. Worthington served as a naval officer on active duty from 1970 to 1974, teaching nuclear physics at the Naval Nuclear Power School at Mare Island Naval Shipyard. He then attended graduate school in psychology (counseling) from 1974 to 1978 at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri, where he received his MA and PhD degrees. He has since served as faculty in the department of psychology at VCU, primarily affiliated with the APA-accredited counseling psychology program.

In addition, Worthington is a licensed clinical psychologist in Virginia. In the mid-1990s, he served the Commonwealth of Virginia as director of the Mental Health Planning Council. From 1998 through 2005, he was executive director and treasurer of A Campaign for Forgiveness Research, a non-profit corporation that raised $6.4 million to fund research about forgiveness.  In 2005, he served as visiting professor at University of Cambridge and at the University of Hong Kong. He has won numerous awards in research, teaching, and service, and in 2009, he won VCU's top honor, the VCU Award for Excellence. Worthington is a fellow of the American Psychological Association.

Research and clinical contributions

Forgiveness
Worthington began investigating forgiveness as a clinical method, noting that in his practice of couple therapy most couples had issues they could not seem to forgive and those often provided roadblocks to improvement in their relationship. Working with two of his graduate students, Michael McCullough and Steve Sandage, they developed the beginning of what would eventually become the REACH Forgiveness method for psychoeducational groups. The REACH method has been tested in over 22 randomized clinical trials by numerous investigators around the world and it is one of the two most studied methods to promote forgiveness. In addition, REACH Forgiveness has been used in psychotherapy, across cultures, with parents, in couple therapy and enrichment, in Christian communities, in classrooms, and in workbooks for at home use.

Worthington has made a number of theoretical contributions to understanding forgiveness. First, he has suggested that larger felt injustices—i.e., larger “injustice gaps”—are harder to forgive than smaller injustices. The size of the injustice gap is directly related to the difficulty forgiving. Offender apologies, restitution, and victim perceptions of the offender suffering, guilt, and remorse reduce the size of the injustice gap, making offenses easier to forgive. Second, he has observed that the victim can reduce the size of the injustice gap by many ways, such as successful revenge (although that obviously will usually increase hostilities), turning the matter over to God for divine justice or to relinquish it to God, forbearing, or accepting that “stuff happens” and moving on with life. The person could also reduce the injustice gap by forgiving. Third, there are two separate types of forgiveness. Decisional forgiveness occurs when a person decides to act without malice or to act in such a way to treat the offender as a valued person and forswear vengeance. Emotional forgiveness is hypothesized to be the emotional replacement of negative unforgiving emotions with positive other-oriented emotions (i.e., empathy, sympathy, compassion, or even love toward the offender). Substantial evidence supports this emotional replacement hypothesis. Fourth, emotional replacement is at the core of the REACH Forgiveness intervention, in addition to defining the two types of forgiveness and making a decision to forgive.

Religion and spirituality, especially in psychotherapy
In the mid-1980s, Worthington conducted research on and summarized existing research on religiously tailored psychotherapy. In a theoretical article, he put forth the concept that a client who valued religion tended to see the world through religious values. He argued that clients held a subjective zone of toleration of values by which they evaluated psychotherapists. If the psychotherapist's values were perceived to be outside of the client's zone of toleration, then poor response to psychotherapy or drop out was a likely outcome. Over the years, Worthington and his colleagues have shown through meta-analyses  and qualitative reviews of research that religious and spiritual matching to a client's religious values—when the client is highly religious—improves outcome in psychotherapy. Nevertheless, in strictly matched treatments in which religious clients are randomly assigned to religious or secular treatment, differing only in the use (or not) of religious language and examples, religious and spiritual clients show little difference regardless of religious or secular psychotherapy. There is a suggestion that this is because clients who are religious employ their faith perspective regardless of whether the counselor introduces it specifically. In 2012, a joint task force of the Society of Clinical Psychology and the Division 29 (Psychotherapy) of the American Psychological Association evaluated a meta-analysis by Worthington and his colleagues to conclude that the evidence supporting religious or spiritual matching was demonstrably effective.

Hope-focused couple approach
Worthington formulated the hope-focused couple approach (HFCA) during the 1980s, and by 1989, the essence of it was in place. By 1999, he articulated a focus (i.e., hope), a strategy (i.e., promoting faith, work, and love), and major targets of intervention (i.e., communication and conflict resolution and intimacy, forgiveness, and reconciliation). He cataloged over 150 intervention techniques in his 1999 book, and Jennifer Ripley and he cataloged an additional 100 techniques in their 2014 book. The revised approach places more emphasis on attachment theory and uses forgiveness interventions as more prominent parts of couple therapy.

title: Magen Avot (piyyut)

text:
Magen Avot is a genre of piyyut designed to be inserted into the blessing Berakha Aḥat Me‘en Sheva‘ in the Jewish liturgy for Friday evening, right before the words “Magen avot bidvaro” (“He shielded the patriarchs with His word”), from which the name of the genre is taken.

High Medieval Europe
This genre, unlike most genres of piyyut, does not go back to late antique Palestine, but rather to high medieval Europe. The first known author to write a poem in this genre was Joseph Kimhi, who was born in Muslim Spain, but spent his later life in Narbonne, Provence. Kimhi wrote two piyyutim to embellish this prayer: the first one, “Yom Shabbat Zakhor” (יום שבת זכור), is intended to be recited before the beginning of the standard liturgical paragraph “Magen Avot”, and every line ends in the syllable "-hu", to rhyme with the end of the first sentence of “Magen Avot” (ha-’el ha-qadosh she-’en kamohu); the second one, “Yom Shabbat Shamor”, is intended to be recited before the second line of the standard paragraph ("He gives rest to His people on His holy Sabbath day, for He desired them, to give rest to them"), and every line ends in the syllables "-lehem", to rhyme with the end of that second line in the standard paragraph, (ki vam raẓa le-haniaḥ lahem).

These two poems of Joseph Kimhi had very different fates; “Yom Shabbat Zakhor” became quite popular, and appears in a number of manuscripts; the first two lines even made it into printed rites, and are recited even today in some synagogues of the Western Ashkenazic Rite on the evening of the Festival of Shavu‘ot that falls on the Sabbath.

Though Joseph Kimhi was in Provence, the genre really became popular only in Germany. In the late 13th century, Samuel Devlin of Erfurt wrote a Magen Avot poem “Shipperam Ram Be-ruḥo” (שפרם רם ברוחו), following the style of “Yom Shabbat Zakhor”, and intended to be inserted in the same place in the liturgy. Like Kimhi's poems, this one is about the Sabbath in general. Later German poets wrote piyyutim of this general specifically for special Sabbaths, and Sabbaths that fell on holidays; these poems speak not only about the Sabbath, but also about the specific themes of the given holiday. The twentieth-century scholar Ezra Fleischer collected, from Ashkenazic manuscripts, no fewer than eighteen such poems, by various poets, for occasions throughout the year, such as: a Sabbath that falls on Rosh Chodesh, or Hanukkah, or Rosh Hashana, or Shabbat Naḥamu; and lifecycle events, such as a Sabbath on which a wedding or circumcision is being celebrated in the community. In all of these, every line ends with the rhyming syllable "-hu", just as in “Yom Shabbat Zakhor”.

title: Sonic Explorations

text:
Sonic Explorations is the debut album by American jazz pianist Matthew Shipp and alto saxophonist Rob Brown, originally issued on LP in 1988 on Cadence Jazz.

Both musicians played together for about 5 years before. "Sonic Explorations" is a suite in 6 sections (including a piano solo and a sax solo section). The duo also plays jazz standards Oleo by Sonny Rollins and Blue in Green (credited to Miles Davis on Kind of Blue, but Shipp believes that Bill Evans wrote the piece). "I love Bill Evans even though a lot of people don't connect my playing with him at all. I learned a lot from him about phrasing, harmonic possibilities of the piano", Shipp says. The 2000 CD reissue adds additional takes of both standards.

Reception

In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek states "This duet by Matthew Shipp and Rob Brown from the late '80s offers a slice-of-the-pie view of Shipp's rethinking his own approach to improvisation and ensemble playing." The Penguin Guide to Jazz says that "there's much detailed interplay between piano and saxophone, with Brown's beautiful tone and ripping phrasing pushing the pianist into an accompanying role at times."

title: Alfonso II, Duke of Gandia

text:
Alfonso of Aragon and Eiximenis, also known as Alfonso II of Gandia the young or Alfonso V of Ribagorza (c. 1358 – 31 August 1422) Duke of Gandia, count of Denia and count of Ribagorza, was the son of Alfonso of Aragon and Foix and his wife Violante Jimenez.

He married María of Navarra, daughter of Carlos II of Navarre, on January 20, 1393 in Tudela, Navarra. After her death, he contracted a second marriage with  of Villafeliche. He had no legitimate children but a son out of wedlock named Jaime of Aragon, whom his father inherited with the barony of Arenós and other places.

He was pretender to the throne of the Crown of Aragon during the Caspe Compromise after the death of his father claiming a better right to the throne being descendant by King Jaime II of Aragon male straight, but had very little support and finished the final vote without any vote in his favor. He fought beside Fernando of Antequera, who was elected King of Aragon, during the siege of Balaguer when Jaime II of Urgell, one of the pretenders to the throne, revolted against King Ferdinand, blocking the city portal of Lleida, and negotiating the surrender of the rebels.

Alfonso the younger prompted the construction of important monuments such as the Monastery of Sant Jeroni de Cotalba and the Ducal Palace of Gandía, which were formerly initiated by his father Alfonso of Aragon and Foix, the old.

On his death without legitimate descendants came a lawsuit by the succession of their territories, which was resolved temporarily giving Gandia to Hugo Cardona and Ribagorza. A few years later, in 1433, Hugo de Cardona Juan II of Aragon must cede the Duchy of Gandia the infant Juan of Aragon, future. In this way they returned to join the titles of Duke of Gandia and count of Ribagorza.

title: Articulating paper

text:
Articulating paper is a diagnostic tool used in dentistry to highlight occlusal contacts and the distribution of occlusal forces. That is, it marks those points on the teeth where the teeth contact during biting and grinding. Articulating paper is made of a thin, non-adhesive paper strip covered in fluorescent ink or dye-containing wax. A strip of articulating paper is placed between the teeth while the desired mandibular movements are performed. Articulating paper is manufactured as "books" of many leaves which are torn out and used when required. These can be rectangular or dental-arch (horse shoe) shaped .

Example uses of articulating paper include:

 It is routinely used to check the occlusal surfaces of newly placed dental restorations, such as fillings or crowns; and dental prostheses, such as dentures or bridges.
 It is also used to highlight occlusal interferences, e.g. in persons with bruxism.

title: Pyxidanthera brevifolia

Pyxidanthera brevifolia, the littleleaf pixiemoss or sandhills pyxie-moss, is a plant species known only from North Carolina and South Carolina. It occurs in deep, sandy soil such as sand hills and sandy ridgetops, sometimes in open pine-oak woodlands, at elevations of .

Pyxidanthera brevifolia is closely related to the more widespread P. barbulata, and some authors have suggested considering the two as a single species. For the moment, though, Flora of North America and the Kew Gardens Plant List  both accept P. brevifolia as a distinct species. The two can be distinguished by the leaves. Leaves of P. brevifolia are shorter than those of P. barbulata, rarely more than  long. They also lack the marginal cilia characteristic of P. barbulata, and are more intensely woolly on the underside.

title: Lausanne Conservatory

text:
The Haute école de musique de Lausanne (HEMU, known as Institute of Advanced Musical Studies prior to 2010, founded in 1861 as Conservatoire de Lausanne) is a Swiss music school located in Romandy, the French-speaking western part of Switzerland.  It is a constituent institution of the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland.

History
 Name change in 2010
Until the summer of 2010, the name, "Conservatoire de Lausanne", referred to two schools with different objectives and faculties. The Music School was public institution for educating children and young adults. The Institute of Advanced Musical Studies, based in Lausanne, Sion, and Fribourg, offered a comprehensive higher education for aspiring professional musicians. To mitigate the ensuing confusion, administrators in 2010 launched two new distinct identities. The School of Music became the Lausanne Conservatory and the Lausanne Institute of Advanced Musical Studies adopted the acronym HEMU for Haute école de musique. On 1 September 2008 the classical music schools of Sion and Fribourg integrated with HEMU.

 Founding in 1861
The Haute école de musique de Lausanne was founded in 1861 as the Conservatoire de Lausanne with a mandate of training and educating aspiring professional musicians. HEMU is a comprehensive music school that offers degrees leading to accredited bachelor's and master's degrees. HEMU has a cooperative affiliation with the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland.

 College divisions
HEMU currently has two divisions: Classical and Jazz. In 2013, approximately 300 students were enrolled in Classical and 60 in Jazz. According to the HEMU website, its jazz department is the only one of its kind in French-speaking Switzerland. Jazz at HEMU was launched in 2006.

 Library
HEMU has a large music library of scores, literature, references, and recordings.

 Pre-college division
Lausanne Conservatory for children and young adults has, as of 2012, an enrollment of about 1,200 students.

 Theater school
In 1909, the institution launched an acting school — Section professionnelle d'art dramatique du Conservatoire de Lausanne (SPAD). As of 2003, the acting school has been located in the Haute École de théâtre ("High School of Theater" or "HESTR") in Romandy.

Accreditation
The HEMU bachelor's and master's degrees are accredited by the Swiss government and the Music and Performing Arts division of the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland (HES-SO), Switzerland's largest institution of constituent schools and colleges involved in research, higher education, and professional training. HEMU is a member of the European Association of Conservatoires.

title: Gedikpaşa Tiyatrosu

text:
The Gedikpaşa Tiyatrosu was an Ottoman theatre established in Istanbul in 1866. It was the first theatre in the Ottoman Turkey where plays were performed by Turkish actors, whereas previous theatres in the Ottoman Empire had only employed Western travelling theatre troupes or non-Muslim Ottoman people such as Armenians.

"With its regular Turkish performances, location, and broader audience, Gedikpaşa
Theatre was one of the most important theatres established during the Tanzimat period. The first
muslim-Turkish actors performed in Gedikpaşa Theatre and the famous writers of the period
were composing plays for the theatre. Significantly, the theatre was not located in the Pera
district, historically known as a neighbourhood in which mostly foreigners resided; instead, it
was midway between Çarşıkapı and Beyazıt towards the sea. The Beyazıt area was a centre
mostly occupied by local Turks’ residences and businesses (And 1972, 214).41 This location was
quite significant because it shows the targeted main audience was not only non-Muslim subjects
and foreigners but also Muslim Turkish subjects. This intended audience demonstrates that the
theatres not only attracted minority groups, but that Western style of arts became so popular that
theatres were established in even highly populated Muslim neighbourhoods."

title: Manin conjecture

text:
In mathematics, the Manin conjecture describes the conjectural distribution of rational points on an algebraic variety relative to a suitable height function. It was proposed by Yuri I. Manin and his collaborators in 1989 when they initiated a program with the aim of describing the distribution of rational points  on suitable algebraic varieties.

Conjecture
Their main conjecture is as follows.
Let
be a Fano variety defined
over a number field ,
let
be a height function which is relative to the anticanonical divisor
and assume that

is Zariski dense in .
Then there exists
a non-empty Zariski open subset

such that the counting function
of -rational points of bounded height, defined by

for ,
satisfies

as
Here

is the rank of the Picard group of
and
is a positive constant which
later received a conjectural interpretation by Peyre.

Manin's conjecture has been decided for special families of varieties, but is still open in general.
