title: Benjamin Franklin Prescott House

text:
The Benjamin Franklin Prescott House is a historic house on Prescott Street in Epping, New Hampshire.  Built in 1875 for politician (and future Governor of New Hampshire) Benjamin Franklin Prescott, it is the town's finest example of Second Empire architecture.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

Description and history
The Benjamin Franklin Prescott House stands in a rural setting west of the center of Epping, on the east side of Prescott Street south of its junction with Dearborn Street.  It is sited prominently facing south at a bend in the road.  It is a -story wood-frame structure, covered by a bellcast mansard roof with flared eaves, and sheathed in wooden clapboards.  It has paneled cornerboards, paired brackets in the eaves, and a richly detailed front portico.  A -story ell extends to the rear of the main block.  A period carriage barn is located across Prescott Street; although it has been converted to residential use, it retains Second Empire features similar to those of the house.

The house was built in 1875 for Benjamin Franklin Prescott, who was then serving in his second term as New Hampshire's Secretary of State.  In 1877 he was elected to the first of two consecutive one-year terms as Governor of New Hampshire.  Prescott had risen to prominence in the state as the publisher of a leading antislavery newspaper, and he was a noted local historian, serving as vice-president of the state historical society, and as a fellow of the Royal Historical Society of London.  His house was sold out of the family in 1903.

title: Salem Common Historic District (Salem, New Hampshire)

text:
The Salem Common Historic District encompasses the early colonial center of Salem, New Hampshire. The district dates to the earliest period of settlement of Salem, and includes the historic common, old town hall, fire station, and library. The town hall was built in 1738 and extensively altered in 1838 and 1899; it served as a place for town meetings until 1958. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.

Description and history
Salem was settled in the 17th century as part of Methuen, Massachusetts, and was incorporated in 1750, after the border between Massachusetts and New Hampshire was fixed, dividing that town. The Salem Common was laid out about 1741, not far from the original location of the building now known as the Old Town Hall. The Old Town Hall was built in 1738 as a colonial meeting house, and served as the community's civic center into the 1940s. It was moved a short distance to its present location adjacent to the common in 1838, the year in which it also ceased housing religious services. It underwent a number of alterations in the 18th and early 19th centuries, including some designed by architect Henry Vaughan in 1899. It housed a municipal court on the upper level from 1961 to 1973, and housed community organization activities until 1981, when it was taken over by the local historical society.

In addition to the old town hall, the historic district includes an 1861 district schoolhouse which now serves as a branch library, and a 1906 fire station. The common is the site of a number of war memorials, commemorating the military service of Salem natives in various military conflicts, and the town's original burying ground, which dates to about 1741, the year in which the border was determined. It houses several hundred graves, arranged in rows overlooking the Spicket River and bounded by a rubblestone wall.

title: 1920 State of the Union Address

text:
The 1920 State of the Union Address was written by the 28th president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, on Tuesday, December 7, 1920. It was his last address to both houses of the 66th United States Congress. Warren Harding became president on Friday, March 4, 1921. He said, "By this faith, and by this faith alone, can the world be lifted out of its present confusion and despair. It was this faith which prevailed over the wicked force of Germany. You will remember that the beginning of the end of the war came when the German people found themselves face to face with the conscience of the world and realized that right was everywhere arrayed against the wrong that their government was attempting to perpetrate."  He is referring to how the United States contributed to the victory of World War I.

The Philippines failed to win any matches in the whole duration of the qualifying tournament. The Philippines also conceded two other defeats with the opposing sides scoring two-digit goal difference. The matches were against South Vietnam; 10–0, and Lebanon; 11–1. South Vietnam's match with the Philippines was its largest victory in an international football match. Lebanon's result was also its largest victory in an international football match. Japan managed to qualify for the Football event at the 1968 Summer Olympics.

title: Ammonium cyanate

text:
Ammonium cyanate is an inorganic compound with the formula . It is a colorless, solid salt.

Structure and reactions

The structure of this salt was verified by X-ray crystallography. The respective C–O and C–N distances are 1.174(8) and 1.192(7) Å, consistent with the  description. Ammonium cation  forms hydrogen bonds with cyanate anion , but to N, not to O.

The compound is notable as the precursor in the Wöhler synthesis of urea, an organic compound, from inorganic reactants. This led to the discarding of the Vital force theory, suggested earlier by Berzelius.

title: Bellini–Tosi direction finder

text:
A Bellini–Tosi direction finder (B–T or BTDF) is a type of radio direction finder (RDF), which determines the direction to, or bearing of, a radio transmitter. Earlier RDF systems used very large rotating loop antennas, which the B–T system replaced with two fixed antennae and a small rotating loop, known as a radiogoniometer. This made RDF much more practical, especially on large vehicles like ships or when using very long wavelengths that demand large antennae.

BTDF was invented by a pair of Italian officers in the early 1900s, and is sometimes known as a Marconi–Bellini–Tosi after they joined forces with the Marconi Company in 1912. BTDF was the most prevalent form of naval direction finding from the 1920s to well into the 1980s, and was used as a major part of early long-distance air navigation systems from the 1930s until after World War II. BTDF systems were also widely used for military signals intelligence gathering.

During the war, new techniques like huff-duff began to replace radiogoniometers in the intelligence gathering role, reducing the time needed to take an accurate fix from minutes to seconds. The ability to inexpensively process radio signals using microcontrollers allowed pseudo-doppler direction finders to take over most of the radiogoniometer's remaining roles from the 1980s. In spite of seeing little use today, the original antennae of BTDF systems can still be seen on many ships and boats.

History

Early RDF

The earliest experiments in RDF were carried out in 1888 when Heinrich Hertz discovered the directionality of an open loop of wire used as an antenna. He noticed that the spark generated at the open gap between the ends of the loop was much stronger when the loop was end-on to the transmitter, and disappeared entirely when it was aligned face-on to the transmitter.

By the early 1900s, many experimenters were looking for ways to use this concept for locating the position of a transmitter. Early radio systems generally used longwave or medium wave signals. Longwave, in particular, had good long-distance transmission characteristics due to their limited interaction with the ground, and thereby provided excellent great circle route ground wave propagation that pointed directly to the transmitter. Methods of performing RDF on longwave signals was a major area of research during the 1900s and 1910s.

Antennae are generally sensitive to signals only when they have a length that is a significant portion of the wavelength, or larger. A common example is the half-wave dipole. For longwave use, this resulted in loop antennae tens of feet on a side, often with more than one loop connected together to improve the signal. This presented a significant problem in arranging for the antenna to be rotated. The US Navy overcame this problem, to a point, by mounting long antennae on ships and sailing in circles.

One solution to this problem was developed by the Marconi company in 1905. This consisted of a number of long horizontal wires or rods arranged to point outward from a common center point. A movable switch could connect opposite pairs of these wires to form a dipole, and by rotating the switch the operator could hunt for the strongest signal. All of these systems were unwieldily and impractical for many uses.

Bellini–Tosi

During experiments in 1907, Ettore Bellini and Alessandro Tosi noticed that they could cause the received signal to be re-radiated by forming a loop with multiple winds of wire. Using two loop antennae arranged at right angles and two sets of these small wire coils arranged the same way, the directional properties of the original radio signal were re-created. Direction finding could then be carried out with a conventional loop antenna placed in the center of these two stators (or field coils); the rotating loop was known as the rotor (or sense coil).

Since the field coils were connected to the antennae electrically, they could be placed anywhere, and their size was independent of the wavelength. This meant that RDF could now be performed on longest wavelengths with ease, using antennae of any size. For longwave use, the two crossed antennae could be easily built by running four wires from a single mast to the ground to form triangular shapes. When used with shorter wavelengths, the system of two crossed loop antennae proved to be more mechanically robust than a single rotating one. They had the added advantage that the antennae could be placed almost anywhere; earlier systems often included some sort of remote operation through a mechanical linkage, but this limited the placement of the antenna or receiver room.

The pair sold the patents to the Marconi Company in February 1912, and Bellini joined the company to continue development. This was followed almost immediately with test deployments. However, the total signal sent end-to-end was tiny, and the un-amplified system could only be used with powerful signals. Early experiments carried out aboard Eskimo and Royal George, as well as the RMS Mauretania were successful, but the range was limited to about . In testing on the USS Wyoming, the US Navy found that the ship's own magnetism overwhelmed the signal produced from the sense coils, producing an output that suggested the transmitter was always in front of the ship.

Adding amplifiers
The B–T system was introduced around the same time as the first triodes, and the Marconi partnership took place in the same year that the triode's ability to amplify signals was first noticed. By 1920, the use of amplifiers in radio was widespread.

Triode amplifiers allowed weak signals to be detected at a greater distance.

Adcock antennae

During the 1910s and early 1920s a number of researchers discovered that shorter wavelength signals were reflected off what would later be known as the ionosphere. This allowed the signal to hop over very long distances by reflecting multiple times off the ground and ionosphere. This greatly extended range, allowing lower power transmitters to be used for very long-range communications. By 1923 a number of amateur radio operators (hams) demonstrated excellent performance at 100 m and started routine trans-Atlantic communications the next year. This led to a number of new frequency bands being defined in this shortwave region, as short as 10 m (which is very long by today's standards). By 1930 these frequencies were in widespread use for many purposes.

Shortwave signals presented a problem for RDF because the skywave signal can be simultaneously received from several different hops, making it appear as if the transmitter is at several different bearings. The solution had already been studied, although not in order to solve this specific problem. In 1917 Frank Adcock was trying to solve the problem of making large antennae suitable for use with the radiogoniometer at even the longest wavelengths. He developed a system using four very tall masts, connected together electrically to form two virtual loops. This eliminated the need to connect the tops of the antennae, which were otherwise difficult to connect together for very large antennae. However, it was later found that the underground connections between the antennae shielded them from skywaves, allowing only the direct-line groundwave to reach the goniometer.

Aviation use

Shorter wavelength bands are particularly useful for aviation use. An antenna that broadcast a useful signal at longwave frequencies would be larger than a typical aircraft (although Zeppelins had no problems) and even higher frequencies in the high frequency (HF) and very high frequency (VHF) bands were highly desirable.

The limitations of these frequencies to line-of-sight communications during the day was not a serious issue for air-to-ground use, where the local horizon might be hundreds of miles away for an aircraft flying at even moderate altitudes. A good example of the advantages of shorter wavelengths can be seen on the Supermarine Spitfire, which started WWII with an HF radio that broadcast from a cable antenna stretched from the cockpit to the top of the vertical stabilizer. This provided an average air-to-air range of  under ideal conditions. These early TR9D sets were replaced by a VHF set using a small whip antenna offering ranges on the order of , and hundreds miles in the air-to-ground mode.

By the 1930s the use of BTDF for long-range aircraft navigation was common. A good example of such a system was first installed in Australia in 1934 as part of the  MacRobertson Air Race. Two stations equipped with Marconi BTDF sets and Adcock antennae were set up at Charleville and Melbourne. The success of this system led to additional stations being added to form a network of 17 DF stations for long-distance navigation. By 1945, these had been largely replaced by RDF systems in the aircraft, rather than the ground.

Military use
The B–T system was also widely used by military forces to determine the location of enemy radio broadcasters. This required some time to perform, often on the order of several minutes for a good fix. This led to various systems to speed the broadcast of messages to make such operations difficult. An example was the German Navy's Kurzsignale code system which condensed messages into short codes, and the fully automated burst encoding Kurier system that sent a Kurzsignale in only ½ a second.

Replacement
The manual Bellini–Tosi system remained almost universal through WWII except in UK and US service.

In the US, a system originally developed by the French ITT laboratories was widely used. The ITT team fled France in front of the German invasion and destroyed their equipment before leaving. They were able to quickly duplicate their efforts once reaching the US. This system used a motor to quickly spin a radiogoniometer, as well as providing an input to electronics that spun the X and Y inputs of a cathode ray tube (CRT). This caused the signal to trace out a pattern on the display that could be used to determine the direction of the transmission almost instantly.

In the UK, the high-frequency direction finding (HFDF or "huff-duff") system largely had displaced BTDF by about 1943. HFDF used balanced amplifiers that fed directly into a CRT to instantly display the direction directly from the incoming signal, requiring no mechanical movement of any sort. This allowed even the most fleeting signals to be captured and located. The display, in spite of operating on entirely different principles, was very similar to the US mechanical system. HFDF was a closely guarded secret, and did not become well known until after the end of the war.

The replacement of ground-based BTDF systems in the aviation role was due primarily to two factors: One was the move to ever-shorter wavelengths, which so shortened the required antennae that RDF could be carried out on a small receive antenna only a few centimetres in length. Since the older, rotating-loop technique was practical at these frequencies, most aircraft used one. The second advance was the introduction of the automatic direction finder (ADF), which completely automated the RDF procedure. Once an ADF system was tuned to a station, either an airway beacon or an AM radio station, they continually moved a pointer to indicate the relative bearing with no further operator involvement.

B–T, and rotating loops of various sorts, continued to be used in the post-war era by civilians. Improvements continued to be made to both systems throughout this period, especially the introduction of solenoids in place of conventional loops in some roles. However, the introduction of the doppler direction finder, and especially the low-cost electronics to implement it, led to the disappearance of the traditional loop systems by the mid-1990s. Doppler systems use fixed antennae, like BTDF, but handle the direction finding via signal processing alone.

Description

Antenna directionality
Radio signals consist of constantly varying electric and magnetic fields arranged at right angles. When the magnetic field passes a metal object, it will cause the electrons in the metal to begin moving synchronously with the signal. According to Faraday's law of induction, this effect is maximized when the object and field are at right angles to each other (alternately, one can think of the electric field being in-line with the object). Although radio signals will propagate in any orientation, for the signals considered here the propagation is strongly attenuated if the magnetic field is not perpendicular to the ground. For this reason, radio antennae, both broadcaster and receiver, are normally vertical. Such signals are said to be vertically polarized.

When two or more antennae are placed close together, differences in position of the antennae cause the received radio signal to be seen as differences in phase. For instance, if the two antennae are positioned ½ a wavelength apart, a signal approaching along the line between them will have the opposite phase in the two antennae, causing opposite voltages to be induced. If the signal approaches perpendicular to the line, the phase is the same and the voltages will be equal.

If the tops of the antennae are wired together, the net voltage will be zero when the antenna is face-on to the signal, because the voltages in both vertical sections are opposing each other. When the antenna is rotated, the slight difference in phase, and thus induced voltages, will leave a net voltage in the circuit, and current will flow. This is maximized when the antennae are parallel to the transmitter. If one measures the output at all angles as the antennae are rotated with respect to the signal, a figure-eight reception pattern is produced, with a sharp nul point and an extended area of maximum signal.

The loop antenna uses this principle in a convenient and mechanically robust form. For vertically polarized signals, reception on the top and bottom of the loop is very low, so it has little contribution or effect on the output. So although the antenna is a complete loop, only the vertical sections have any action on the reception and it acts as two separated antennae. To measure the bearing of a transmitter, the loop is spun about its vertical axis until the signal drops to zero, or nulls, which is a much sharper signal that the maximum.

B–T concept
The Bellini–Tosi system feeds the output voltage of a loop or Adcock antenna into a small coil of wire, the field coil. The varying voltage induced by the received signal causes the wire to re-radiate the same signal. Although as the coil is typically very much smaller than the wavelength and thus has a small antenna factor, the use of many loops of wire in the coil improves the overall signal strength. The total energy radiated by the coil is less than what is received on the antenna, but it broadcasts this into a much smaller physical area, so the flux may be much higher than the original signal.

Two antennae and two field coils are used, both arranged at right angles to each other. The area between the two field coils is filled with an analog of the original signal from the antennae. The sense coil, another loop antenna, is placed in the area between the field coils. Rotating the sense coil in the field coils has the same output as rotating the entire loop antenna in the original field.

Even slight mis-alignment of the two causes a bias in the output, a false null. Since this was fixed as part of the construction of the radiogoniometer, it was simple enough to correct for this simply by moving the pointer. Slip-rings or nuts were commonly used.

Coupling error
In fact, the resulting field in the coils is not an exact analog of the original. It would be if the field coils consisted of a single loop of wire, but as they actually consist of multiple windings, these are, in effect, small solenoids. The resulting field is then strongest at the edges of the windings, falling (ideally) to zero in the center.

This causes the output signal to rise and fall around the area in the coils. As the B–T system relies on the comparison of signal volumes, this results in a non-uniform output, rising and falling every 45 degrees, eight times around a full circuit. This was known as coupling error or octantal error.

The solution to this problem is to wind the sense coil in two pairs, each displaced from either side of the centerline by 22.5 degrees. This makes the error in one coil the opposite of the other, a condition that remains true around the entire circle. The correction is never perfect, the precise angles had to be experimented with on every radiogoniometer.

Antenna tuning
In order to work properly, it is important that both antenna circuits be carefully balanced. To start with the antennae have to be identical, with identical electrical properties in the wiring and the lengths of the leads adjusted to be equal. Since the antennae have inductance and capacitance due to their mechanical layout, additional inductors and capacitors are typically inserted into the circuit so that both antennae have the same totals for both. A common technique to dynamically balance the circuit was to feed an external buzzer signal into the antenna inputs and then tune the capacitors until the signal in both was the same.

Even minor changes in the weather, physical layout or even bumping the chassis containing the tunable capacitors can cause the tuning to vary. For this reason a variety of systems were used to decrease the sensitivity of the radiogoniometer to mis-tuning. Primary among these was the aperiodic aerial concept, which described the mechanical layout of the radiogoniometer's internal wiring. By winding the sense coil wiring around a vertical cylinder, and wiring the field coils in a similar arrangement as close as possible to the sense coil, the entire circuit became capacitively coupled. A single tunable capacitor on the output from the sense coil could then be used to tune the entire system.

Sense systems
One drawback to any DF system using loop antennae is that the antenna is equally sensitive on both the front and the back, so there is always a 180 degree ambiguity in the measurements - the transmitter might be on either side of the antenna. To address this, many DF systems added an additional antenna, the sense antenna (unrelated to the sense coil).

A sense antenna normally consists of a single vertical antenna positioned some distance from the crossed loops, in line with one of the two loops, at a distance about the same as the distance between the two vertical portions of the loop. The sense antenna's output is mixed with the loop it is in-line with, through a switch that allows it to be turned on or off. When switched on, it produces a voltage that suppresses the output of the rear section of the loop, re-enforcing the forward section. The resulting reception pattern is modified from its original figure-8 to a cardioid.

It is also possible to simulate the sense antenna by tapping a feed off the loop it would have been associated with. This is normally accomplished by placing a center tap in the tuning inductor, and then feeding that signal into the circuit as if it were from another antenna. Since the center-tap causes the signal from both vertical sections to be balanced, it creates a signal similar to a single vertical mast. When used with aperiodic windings, the sense circuit has to be wired into the receiver side, along with the tuning capacitor.

Transmission systems
The directional qualities of the radiogoniometer work in both directions; it can be used to determine the direction of an incoming signal, or change the direction of a transmission. During early experiments, this capability was used to produce a radio signal that swept the sky like a lighthouse beam, allowing conventional radio receivers to determine their location by timing the passage of the signal. A typical solution was to broadcast a specific start signal, often Morse code, to start the sweep, and the slowly sweep a steady signal after that. The operator timed from the end of the start signal to the maximum in the continuous tone, and then divided by the rotation rate to determine the angle.

The advantage of the B–T system in terms of mechanical simplicity was generally difficult to use in this role due to the normally small amount of energy it could tune. Several competing systems were also developed, including omni-directional antennae with motorized wire-mesh reflectors, as well as a Telefunken system that had multiple dipole antennae periodically switched by a large motorized distributor. In the end none of these systems proved very popular, and the success of B–T systems and small moving-loops suitable for higher frequencies used for aircraft communications allowed DF systems to be carried on the vehicles.

title: Llandow Halt railway station

text:
Llandow Halt railway station served the village of Llandow in South Wales.

History
When the Vale of Glamorgan Railway opened in 1897, four of its five original stations served the principal settlements along the route. The fifth station, Southerndown Road acted as a feeder station for a number of smaller villages nearby. However, this arrangement was not entirely satisfactory, as there was a long stretch of line between this station and Llantwit Major which was left unserved  by trains. To an extent, this did not matter, because most settlements lay well to the south of the railway. The one exception was Llandow, which was located very near to  the line, but had very inadequate road access to the two nearest stations. As  a result, the Llandow Parish Council requested that the railway company erect a halt. The first request was in 1898, with another in 1901, but these were both refused. In 1905, with the introduction of steam railmotor services on the line, the Barry Railway Company agreed to erect halts at Llandow and Fontigary, but in the event, these were not built. A further request in 1908 was turned down. It was not until 1915 that the company accepted a fourth application and approved the building of Llandow Halt. It received provisional sanction from the Board of Trade on 20 April 1915 and opened on 1 May. It had cost £250 to build.

Description
Llandow Halt was a very basic affair. It had two wooden platforms, each 130 feet in length. Each platform had an open-fronted wooden shelter. The crossing was at ground level and was provided with an electric bell for safety. The bell was operated by treadles placed on both lines 250 feet along from the crossing. Additional signals in the existing signal box had been added. The inspection of the new facilities (which did not occur until 15 October 1915) was entirely satisfied with these arrangements.

Closure
The station closed in 1964 when passenger services along the line were withdrawn.

He was born in the then-Soviet republic of Belarus. In early childhood he became deaf from a blast during World War II. From childhood he had great aspiration for traveling. As a teenager he crossed the Soviet Union from Minsk to Magadan, covering about  in 148 days on a Jawa 50. Later he made many other trips around the Soviet Union on motorbike.

On May 27, 2000, he began his current round-the-world trip in Minsk, Belarus. He traveled around Europe, into north-west Africa to Western Sahara region to Morocco. Then he crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Spanish Canary Islands into Venezuela. He traveled many Latin America countries until he reached United States. By late 2005 he had visited every state of United States of America including Hawaii and Alaska and every Canadian province.

In the city Peoria in Illinois he was hit by a truck while stopping at the side of a road in October 2003. He had 29 fractures and spent two months in hospital and several more months recovering at the place of local friends. His 1990 Jawa 350 motorcycle was a write-off, the US biker community banded together to help him, and the local BMW dealership gave him a new BMW F650GS motorcycle as a gift to continue his travels.

At end of 2006, he was in Sydney, Australia, after circumnavigating the Australian continent as well as a 3000 km detour to the Red Centre and touring Tasmania. Vladimir was met by members of the RMOA Australia and presented a custom silver "Round the World" ring.

title: Roy Reding

text:
Roy Reding (born 17 July 1965) is a Luxembourgish lawyer, politician, and vice-president of the ADR, as well as treasurer of the Alliance of European Conservatives and Reformists (AECR), a centre-right eurosceptic European political party, of which the ADR is a member.

Personal life
Reding spent his childhood in Bech, a village near Echternach, and has lived in Fischbach, Mersch, and Folschette (near Rambrouch), with his current residence being in Luxembourg City. Reding has four children and is married to Karine Reuter, a former judge who is currently a notary in Pétange. Reding went to school in Echternach with, among others, the former Justice and Culture Minister Octavie Modert and the former Secretary-General of the Democratic Party Georges Gudenburg. Following the completion of his secondary education, Reding studied Law at Paul Cézanne University in Aix-en-Provence, whence he obtained a Bachelor of Laws. He then obtained a Master of Laws from Robert Schuman University in Strasbourg.

Having obtained his master's degree, Reding started work on 1 August 1989 as a solicitor at the Luxembourg bank BGL BNP Paribas. In May 1990, Reding received his official admission to the Luxembourg Bar, allowing him to open a chancery in 1993, namely Reding et Felten in Luxembourg City. After the two associates parted ways, Reding opened his own chancery in the city centre, located on rue de l'Eau. He retired as a lawyer in 2019 in order to be able to act more independently as an MP and not face any consequences from the Bar. He stated: "retiring as a lawyer gives me the possibility to talk freely on all subjects without fearing professional repercussions."

In December 2022, he was convicted of fraud after selling a property and failing to disclose to the buyer that part of it was legally uninhabitable. He was given a suspended 1-year prison sentence and a €50,000 fine. However, in June 2023, his conviction was overturned on appeal.

Political career

Local politics
Reding's first became involved in politics at the age of 15, when he became a member of the LSAP and their youth organization JSL. He engaged actively in politics whilst at school. He was the elected school representative in the Conseil d'Education as well as chief editor of the school newspaper De Maulwuerf. During his time at university, he was president of the National Union of Luxembourgish Students (UNEL) as well as the president of the Socialist Students (Etudiants Socialistes). He also worked as a free-lance journalist for the Tageblatt during this time. In 1999, he was elected as a councilman in the Council of Fischbach, receiving the second largest share of the vote.

National politics
The trigger for Reding's entry into national politics was the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe, (commonly referred to as the European Constitution or as the Constitutional Treaty), against which Reding vehemently protested with the viewpoint that the government was manipulating voters with false statements and propaganda in order to get them to ratify the Treaty. Reding became politically active in the ADR following this, whose views he shared and for whom he ran for the since 2005 unoccupied seat in the Council of State of Luxembourg. At the National Congress of the ADR in 2006, Reding was voted into the position of Secretary-General.

During the parliamentary elections of 7 June 2009 and the 2009 European Parliament election, Reding ran for a seat in both the National and EU parliaments. He narrowly missed out on a seat in the national parliament by a couple of hundred votes, coming second on the ADR centre list behind Jacques-Yves Henckes. In the National Congress of 25 March 2012, Reding was voted into the position of Vice-President.

In the snap elections of October 2013, Reding reclaimed the centre seat for the ADR after Jacques-Yves Henckes left the party. On 13 November 2013, Reding was sworn in as a Member of Parliament. He became a member of the Parliamentary Commissions for Justice, Agriculture and Viticulture, Consumer Protection, Secondary Education, Media and Communication, and Research. He was also elected as a representative for Luxembourg in the Benelux Parliament. Reding was re-elected in the October 2018 elections, improving his vote share by 12.4% to a total of 6,319.

.dok
Reding is a presenter on the Luxembourgish Channel ".dok". Primarily, the socially dedicated lawyer presents his show "Vu Fall zu Fall" in which he answers complicated legal questions as well as reporting on interesting developments in the Judicial landscape of Luxembourg, along with his wife Karine Reuter. Reding also presents the show City Talk in which he discusses political themes about Luxembourg City with his guests.

Re-Entry into Communal Politics
In the Communal Elections of October 2017, Reding was elected into the Communal Council of Luxembourg City. He sits as the sole representative of the ADR on the Council, and is a member of the Commission on Urban Development.

title: Canadian Handicrafts Guild

text:
The Canadian Handicrafts Guild (now known as La Guilde) was an association of Canadians involved in handicrafts that was founded in Montreal in 1906. At first the goal was to preserve and market traditional home crafts that were seen as being at risk of dying out. Demand for high quality products and a shift towards more "professional" craftspeople and modern designs placed stress on the organization. In 1967 the provincial branches became autonomous, and subsequently evolved separately. At the national level the Guild was merged with the Canadian Craftsman's Association in 1974 to form the Canadian Crafts Council, now the Canadian Crafts Federation.

Origins
The Montreal branch of the Women's Art Association of Canada (WAAC) was founded in 1894 by Mary Martha Phillips and Mary Alice Peck.
The Montreal branch held major exhibits of applied arts in 1900 and 1902, and in June 1902 opened a store, Our Handicrafts Shop.
The Montreal WAAC was a precursor of the Canadian Handicrafts Guild.
The same women were involved in both organizations.
The crafts committee of the Montreal branch broke away from the WAAC in 1905, becoming the Canadian Handicrafts Guild.

The Handicrafts Guild, led by Alice Peck and May Phillips, was incorporated in 1906.
It was a federal non-profit organization, with the Governor General Albert Grey and Alice, Countess Grey as patrons.
The objectives of the Guild were to support and encourage crafts in Canada.
The Guild was modeled on an idealized view of the medieval guild, and was dedicated to preserving traditional ethnic crafts, seen to be at risk of dying out.
It encouraged craftspeople to work together collectively to meet market needs, selling their goods anonymously.

History

Early years
The guild set up a reference library in 1909.
That year Alice Peck proposed that the Guild should start a permanent collection holding some of the best handwork.
The guild sold handicrafts at its shop and through agencies. It awarded prizes at annual competitions and ran educational programs, including classes for immigrant children and a weaving school.
By 1911 the Guild was very active across Canada and abroad.
From 1905 to 1935 the guild exhibited the work of the First Nations at what is now the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
In the 1930s the guild opened branch offices in each province.
The Manitoba branch was formed in January 1928 by a group of over 30 women at a meeting in Winnipeg, led by Lady Constance Nanton.
The organization became interested in education, and as the shop grew they also placed more emphasis on quality of design and workmanship.

1930s

In May 1932 the Canadian Handicrafts League (the Guild) announced that the Handicrafts Association of Canada, based in Toronto, had become affiliated with the Montreal-based organization. That year the Handicrafts League obtained the use of one third of the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto for a large display of handicrafts from across Canada. It was hoped that farmers and country people suffering from the Great Depression would benefit from the League's support.
In July 1932 the local paper in Medicine Hat, Alberta, reported that "... there seems to be some doubt about just how many handicraft organizations there are in the country, I think our local Canadian Handicraft Guild must be connected with the Handicrafts Association of Canada Incorporated." The writer described the Handicrafts Association's aim as helping to sell the products of Canadian craftsmen and people making crafts for occupational therapy, such as disabled soldiers. The association had a shop in downtown Toronto stocked with an array of products from the east, but so far with no western crafts.

In May 1933 it was announced that the Canadian Handicrafts Guild had received letters of support from leaders and organizations across the country for their planned exhibition in Montreal for the end of October. It was planned to bring Quebec handicraft workers from their farms to Montreal to demonstrate their work. Some would be seeing the city for the first time.
Participating organization included the Guild's branches in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Prince Edward Island, the Art Association of Montreal, the Women's Art Society, Montreal, and Union Catholique des Cultivateurs, the Handicrafts Association of Canada of Toronto and the Mount Allison Handicrafts Guild of Sackville, New Brunswick.
Products exhibited would include homespuns, tweed from a blend of angora and sheep's wool, Indian basketwork, hooked rugs, quilt, blankets and furniture.

Lt.-Col. Wilfrid Bovey was re-appointed president of the guild for 1934. He reported on a successful year in 1933, with high attendance at exhibitions in Edmonton (125,000), Winnipeg (50,000) and Montreal (32,000). Other exhibitions had been held in Toronto, Charlottetown and Banff.
Two new branches had been formed, one in Prince Edward Island and the other in the Ottawa Valley.
Cape Breton Home Industries, founded by Mrs. Alexander Graham Bell, and the Mabel Hubbard Club of Montreal were now associated with the guild.
Finances were in good shape, despite a drop in sales volumes.
In 1936 the newly formed Canadian Guild of Potters decided to join the Handicrafts guild.
That year the Handicrafts Guild assigned its assets and liabilities to a new branch in Quebec, which assumed a leading role among the other guilds across the country.
In 1937 the Guild participated in the international Art, Craft and Science exhibition in Paris, France.

Post-war

In the early 1950s the Guild began to help the Inuit of Port Harrison, Quebec, to sell their arts and crafts.
Craft organizations in the 1950s changed focus from traditional to modern art, and acquired a more professional image.
The artists now began to be recognized as individuals, in contrast to the earlier collective identity.
By the 1960s the Guild was struggling to define its direction. It had originally been concerned with home arts, but neglected the growing numbers of fine craftsmen.
The Montreal branch realized that by failing to enforce quality standards it had lost standing with the latter group.
Their 1963 exhibition was therefore strictly juried.
In 1967 the national association and all the branch offices became autonomous.

Successor organizations

The Canadian Craftsman's Association was formed as an alternative national craft organization after the 1964 First World Congress of Craftsmen.
In 1974 the Canadian Handicrafts Guild merged with the Canadian Craftsman's Association to form the Canadian Crafts Council (CCC), based in Ottawa.
At first the CCC was a federation of provincial crafts councils.
Later it accepted membership from other crafts organizations.
In 1996 the council began accepting craftspeople as individual members.
However, that year the Federal government stopped funding and the council had to close its offices and lay off its staff.
It continued as a legal entity, run by volunteers, but had no resources to run programs.
In May 1998 the CCC was transformed into a national crafts network, the Canadian Crafts Federation / Fédération canadienne des métiers d'art.
The members are the ten provincial crafts councils.

The Quebec branch became the Canadian Guild of Crafts Quebec. It is now called simply the Canadian Guild of Crafts.

In 2014 the Ontario Crafts Council rebranded itself as Crafts Ontario.

The Craftsmen's Association of British Columbia, later renamed the Crafts Council of British Columbia, was initially based in the Dominion Building in downtown Vancouver.
It moved to Cartwright Street in Granville Island in December 1979 with federal government funding.

title: Aphis nerii

text:
Aphis nerii is an aphid of the family Aphididae.  Its common names include oleander aphid, milkweed aphid, sweet pepper aphid, and nerium aphid.

Distribution
The oleander aphid is widespread in regions with tropical and Mediterranean climates.
In Poland, oleander aphid has only been reported from a glasshouse. Small populations of oleander aphid are present in gardens in London, England.

Lifecycle
Female aphids lay live young (nymphs), a process known as viviparity. Female aphids reproduce by parthenogenesis, males have never been observed in the wild but have been produced under laboratory conditions. Females may be wingless or winged (alate), the production of the alate form occurs a higher rate in those regions where it is necessary for oleander aphid to migrate each year on to temporary hosts.

Oleander aphid has a wide range of hosts, but mainly feeds on plants in the dogbane family, including milkweeds, oleander and periwinkle. It is occasionally recorded feeding on plants in the bindweed family, daisy family and spurge family as well as rarely being recorded on Citrus.

Virus Vector
Oleander aphid can act as a vector of viruses in the genus Potyvirus and Cucumovirus. The following viruses are known to be vectored by oleander aphid:

Araujia mosaic virus
Bean yellow mosaic virus
Bittergourd mosaic virus
Citrus tristeza virus
Cucumber mosaic virus
Lentil mosaic virus
Papaya ringspot virus
Tobacco etch virus
Watermelon mosaic virus
Zucchini yellow mosaic virus

text:
Petia Yanchulova (; born July 3, 1978, in Sofia) is a Bulgarian beach volleyball player. She represented her nation Bulgaria in two editions of the Olympic Games (2000 and 2004), along with her partner and elder sister Tzvetelina. Despite being born in Bulgaria, Yanchulova trained most of her sporting career in San Diego, California, United States, playing for the University of San Diego's volleyball team.

Yanchulova began her sporting career at the University of San Diego in San Diego, California, where she competed for the San Diego Toreros volleyball team. While playing for the Toreros, she led her team to two impressive victories at the West Coast Conference Championships, and was also named the Defender of the Year in 1999 because of her tremendous impact to the university's volleyball program. Petia was named to the First Team All-American team (together with Misty May and Kerri Walsh) for two years in a row in 1998 and 1999. Petia was also honored in the San Diego Hall of Champions and was induced in the West Coast Conference Hall of Fame for her outstanding accomplishments at the University of San Diego.

Since 1998, Yanchulova competed professionally at the FIVB World Tour along with her sister Tzvetelina. The Bulgarian tandem also made their official debut at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where they both placed seventeenth in the women's beach volleyball, defeating European bronze medalists Deborah and Rebekka Kadijk along the way. Four years later, at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, the Yanchulova sisters qualified for their second Olympics in the same tournament by obtaining their berth from the FIVB Grand Slam Series in Klagenfurt, Austria. This time, defeating the reigning European Champions of Germany in pool play, the sisters advanced to the Round of 16, eventually losing in a dramatic battle against eventual Olympic silver medalists of Brazil, Adriana Behar and Shelda Bede and placing 9th overall. When her elder sister retired from the sport in 2007, Yanchulova went on to play indoor volleyball professionally in Europe from 2008 to 2009.
