title: Chris Ballard (politician)

text:
Christopher Ballard  is a former politician in Ontario, Canada. He was a Liberal member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 2014 to 2018 who represented the riding of Newmarket—Aurora. He was a member of cabinet in the government of Kathleen Wynne.

Background
Attended King City Secondary School where upon graduation had aspirations of becoming a Marine Biologist.

Ballard was a journalist with the Newmarket Era, the Aurora Banner, the Orillia Packet and Times, Canadian Press and the Toronto Star. He has run his own business consultancy firm CSB Communications with clients in the business, education, association sectors in Ontario. He was also the Executive Director for a consumers advocacy group. He lives in Aurora with his wife Audrey where they raised three children.

Ballard was presented with an honorary lifetime member award by Speaker of the Ontario Legislature, Michael A. Brown, on behalf of the Public Affairs Association of Canada. Ballard is a former president of the association and was recognized for his years of dedication to the association.

Politics
Ballard was elected as a town councillor in Aurora in 2010 and vacated his council seat before finishing a full term.

He ran in the 2014 provincial election as the Liberal candidate in the riding of Newmarket-Aurora, a long-time PC held riding north of Toronto. In a surprising upset, he defeated Progressive Conservative candidate Jane Twinney by 3,432 votes. Ballard's win was part of a strong showing by the Ontario Liberals in the York Region, where the party had a historically strong showing in many traditionally PC and swing ridings.

He previously served as parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Government and Consumer Services. In June 2016, he was appointed to cabinet as Minister of Housing and Minister Responsible for the Poverty-Reduction Strategy.

After the resignation of Glen Murray as Minister of Environment and Climate Change on July 31, 2017, Ballard was appointed his successor by Premier Kathleen Wynne.

While MPP Ballard moved bill 42 to directly elect the chair of the Region of York. This was never realized as it was reversed in July 2018.

He ran for re-election in the 2018 provincial election and was defeated soundly, coming in 3rd in the riding of Newmarket-Aurora with less than 23% of the vote. Ballard's loss was part of a weak showing by the Ontario Liberals who retained only 7 seats and lost official party status.

He ran in the 2018 municipal election for Mayor of the Town of Aurora and was soundly defeated, coming in 3rd with less than 20% of the vote.

Ballard exited politics in 2019 to be the CEO of Passive House Canada.

title: Lorenc Trashi

text:
Lorenc Trashi (born 19 May 1992) is an Albanian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for FC Ballkani and the Albania national team.

Club career

Gramshi
Trashi began his career with his local team KF Gramshi, where he was promoted to the senior side in 2008 while the club was in the Albanian Second Division. During the season Gramshi won the northern division and reached the championship final, which they lost to KF Memaliaj The following season his side were promoted and he played in the Albanian First Division, where he featured in 19 league games and scored his first senior goal, helping his side avoid relegation and finish comfortably in 10th place. In his second season in the First Division he again helped his side avoid relegation, this time narrowly on goal difference, and he featured in 20 league games without scoring a goal. During the 2011–12 season he played 25 league games and scored 2 goals, which helped his side finish in a respectable 8th place out of 16 teams. The following season, however, Gramshi struggled despite Trashi's good individual performances throughout the campaign. In February 2013 he was awarded with the 'Pride of the City' title by the Gramsh municipality on their 53rd anniversary for his contribution to the city's football team. He was hit by controversy in April 2013 when he fell out with his head coach Edmond Hida and was expelled from the squad due to what he described as Trashi's unsporting behaviour. However, he was eventually invited back into the squad in order to help them in their relegation struggle. He ended the 2012–13 campaign with 5 goals in 25 league games, but his side were eventually relegated after finishing in penultimate place.

KF Lushnja
Following Gramshi's relegation from the Albanian First Division, Trashi was allowed to leave the club and sign for another team, and he eventually signed for newly promoted Albanian Superliga side KS Lushnja prior to the 2013–14 campaign. He scored the only goal on his Albanian Superliga debut against FK Kukësi and was named the man of the match. His goal came in the 54th minute from an assist by Gentian Çela, which Trashi converted into the net with a volley on his left foot. He quickly established himself as a first team regular, playing on both sides of the midfield and developing an effective relationship with Erlind Koreshi on the opposite flank and with the striker Mikel Canka. His next goal came in a memorable 2–0 win over Partizani Tirana, where he opened the scoring with an individual effort after picking up the ball from the centre circle and beating Partizani's defenders to then beat the keeper with a powerful left footed strike into the top left corner.

Lushnja continued to struggle in the league despite Trashi's and Canka's impressive performances, both of whom linked up well to create the opening goal in an away game against Flamurtari Vlorë on 10 November, where Trashi again took the lead in the 51st minute but his side still fell to a 4–3 defeat. By the January transfer window he was considered the discovery of the season in Albanian football, and had attracted attention from bigger clubs due to his good form and 4 league goals in the first half of the season. He was offered a move to FK Kukësi, which he subsequently turned down in favour of remaining with Lushnja, a decision not shared by his midfield partner Erlind Koreshi, who opted for a mid season move to KF Tirana. In a crucial relegation battle scrap against Bylis Ballsh on 22 February, Trashi scored his 5th league goal of the season from a free kick to open the scoring after 13 minutes in the 2–0 win.

He scored once again in the next league game against Besa Kavajë in the 83rd minute to equalise, beating the keeper from a powerful free kick again. Lushnja were eventually relegated after finishing second from bottom in the league, losing 11 of their last 12 games and finishing 13 points clear of safety. His individual performances throughout the season were noticed and he was featured in the Albanian Superliga Team of the Year, as well as being nominated for Talent of the Year, an award for the best young players in the Albanian Superliga.

Partizani Tirana
Following KF Lushnja's relegation from the Albanian Superliga, Trashi signed a three-year contract with Partizani Tirana on 31 May 2014.

On 9 November 2015, he extended his contract for another three seasons, kepping him at the club until 2018.

Qadsia
On 21 June 2020, Partizani Tirana through a communiqué stated that Trashi from next season is part of Kuwait Premier League club Qadsia.

International career
Trashi was first involved internationally when he was invited by Albania U21s coach Skënder Gega to a three-day trial in February 2013 while he was playing for KF Gramshi. He came on as a second-half substitute in the unofficial friendly against Kosovar Superliga side KF Drenica at the end of the trial, which Albania U21s lost 2–0.

He was first called up to the senior Albania national football team in March 2019 for games against Turkey and Andorra, but remained on the bench. He made his debut on 14 October 2019 in a Euro 2020 qualifier against Moldova. He started the game and scored the third goal in a 4–0 away victory.

title: Giant Cask

text:
The Giant Cask or Giant Barrel (, locally just Fass or, in the local Palatine dialect, the Därgemer Fass), is a tourist attraction in the Palatine spa and district town of Bad Dürkheim in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The wine barrel has a diameter of 13.5 metres, a volume of about 1,700,000 litres or 1,700 m³ and is thus the largest cask in the world. However, it is not used for the storage of wine, but houses a restaurant.

Location
The Giant Cask on St.-Michaels-Allee 1 is northeast of the old town in the water meadows of the Isenach stream on the western edge of the 45,000 m2 Brühlwiesen meadows. Every year on the second and third week in September the Dürkheim Wurstmarkt (lit.: "sausage market") takes place on these fields. The Wurstmarkt is the biggest wine festival in the world, playing host to over 600,000 visitors. Access to the Weinfass and the Wurstmarkt is from the B 37 federal highway (Ludwigshafen am Rhein–Kaiserslautern) just to the north.

History

The barrel was built in 1934 by Bad Dürkheim vineyard owner and master cooper, Fritz Keller, using wood to fashion it into the standard shape using traditional methods, albeit oversized. To construct the cask nearly 200 spruce trees were felled in the Northern Black Forest, all about 40 metres high. One tree was needed for each of the 178 staves, each 15 metres long and 15 cm thick. In all, more than 200 m³ of wood was used. The timber was supplied by the Krauth & Co. Sawmill in Rotenbach in the Enztal valley.

With the completion of the Giant Cask in Dürkheim, it superseded by a long way the famous Heidelberg Tun which, with a length of 9 metres, a diameter of 7 metres and capacity of 221,726 litres, and was actually used to store wine, had previously been the largest cask in the world.

Description
The giant Dürkheim barrel bears the inscription Dürkheimer Riesenfaß in the old German script on the bottom of the barrel which faces east. The interior is a type of wine bar. It can take just under 430 guests on two levels (ground floor and gallery). Because of the number of visitors, in 1958 the wooden "tub" (Bütt) was added. This is an oversized tub, constructed in the same style as the Riesenfass and has space for about 120 guests. The bar is operated for most of the year in the Bütt; the barrel itself is only accessible to guests during the Wurstmarkt and for large groups by prior arrangement.

title: Air Peace

text:
Air Peace Limited  is a private Nigerian airline founded in 2013 with its head office in Ikeja, Lagos State, Nigeria, the flag carrier and the largest airline of Nigeria and West Africa. Air Peace, which provides passenger and charter services, serves the major cities of Nigeria and flies to several West African destinations and the Middle East. The airline also established a subsidiary, Air Peace Hopper, in 2018.

History

Founding
Air Peace was founded in 2013 by Nigerian lawyer and businessman Allen Onyema. Onyema claims that he started the airline with the intention of using it as an engine to provide economic opportunities to Nigerian youth. The airline began operations with Dornier 328s and Boeing 737s. In 2017, the first international route to Kotoka International Airport in Accra, Ghana was launched. By 2018, Air Peace had the largest market share in the domestic airline market in Nigeria. That same year, the airline took delivery of its first Boeing 777s, and it commenced flights to Sharjah in 2019. Flights to Johannesburg, South Africa commenced in 2020.

South Africa evacuation flights
Following an outbreak of xenophobic violence against foreign nationals in South Africa in September 2019, Air Peace offered to evacuate Nigerian citizens for free. Over 300 persons took advantage of this offer and traveled on board Boeing 777 flights from Johannesburg to Lagos.

Money laundering allegations
In 2019, the US Department of Justice issued an indictment against Air Peace founder and CEO Allen Onyema on the grounds of money laundering and bank fraud. Onyema was accused of falsifying documents used for the purchase of aircraft for Air Peace and using those to fund purchases of luxury cars and high-end shopping. Onyema denies these allegations. As of May 2022, a trial is set to begin in August 2022. In October of 2022, Onyema was acquitted of the charges.

Controversy with UAE
In December 2021, Air Peace indulged in a controversy with the General Civil Aviation Authority of the UAE. As per the reports, the Emirates turned down the airlines' request for three slots instead of one at the Sharjah International Airport in the UAE, calling it "unreasonable." The UAE authorities said that Air Peace should consider flying the other two flights to any of the other airports in the country. However, Air Peace condemned the Emirati claims, accusing its officials of falsehood. The airline also called for an apology from the UAE, along with a retraction. Prior to issue, the Nigerian government had reduced the slots of Dubai-based Emirates from 21 to one, following which Emirates Airline also suspended all its flights to Abuja and Lagos. The matter came as a threat to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. A diplomatic crisis was averted after Dubai Airports allocated slots at Dubai for Air Peace.

Operations halt
In May 2022, Air Peace announced a plan to halt all domestic and regional flights, along with other airlines such as Max Air, Arik Air, Ibom Air, United Nigeria Airlines, and others, citing staffing and the rising costs of jet fuel. However, that plan was abandoned after government officials stepped in to aid the airlines affected.

Destinations
As of April 2023, Air Peace flies to the following destinations in Nigeria, West Africa, Southern Africa, Asia and the Caribbean:

On January 31, 2020, Air Peace announced two new destinations in India and Israel would be activated before the end of the year. Air Peace also operated ad hoc charter flights from Lagos to Montego Bay in Jamaica during the Christmas 2020 season.

Fleet

As of January 2022, Air Peace's fleet consists of the following aircraft:

In April 2021, the Chief Operations Officer of Air Peace stated that 17 of their aircraft were grounded for maintenance reasons, thus reducing the carrier's operational fleet to just 8 aircraft.

Accidents and incidents

Safety concerns and cover-ups
In 2019, the Accident Investigation Bureau (Nigeria) accused Air Peace of persistent failure to report serious incidents and accidents involving its aircraft. Some issues cited by the AIB included failure to report incidents that resulted in structural damage and erasure of Cockpit Voice Recorders prior to reporting incidents. The airline's management was cited for "willfully [failing] to comply" with the Bureau's regulations, and it was further stated that the management "lacks the full understanding of the statutory mandates".

List of accidents and serious incidents
 On 12 March 2016, an Air Peace Boeing 737 from Port Harcourt to Lagos made an emergency landing in Port Harcourt following a smoke detector indication. The aircraft was evacuated via slides and there were no serious injuries.
 On 14 December 2018, an Air Peace Boeing 737 from Lagos to Enugu with 130 passengers and 6 crew suffered a loss of cabin pressure at 31000 feet. Although the oxygen masks deployed, the crew elected to continue the flight after an emergency descent. Two passengers were subsequently treated for complications related to the decompression.
 On 15 May 2019, an Air Peace Boeing 737 from Port Harcourt to Lagos suffered a hard landing that resulted in damage to the engine pod and the landing gear. The aircraft was grounded, although no injuries were reported.
 On 22 June 2019, an Air Peace Boeing 737 with 87 passengers and 6 crew from Abuja to Port Harcourt exited the runway while landing in heavy rain and came to rest in soft mud.
 On 23 July 2019, an Air Peace Boeing 737 with 133 passengers and 6 crew landed on Lagos' runway 18R but suffered a hard touch down causing both nose wheels to separate from the nose gear strut. The aircraft skidded to a halt on the runway on main wheels and the rest of the nose gear strut. There was one minor injury. The aircraft sustained substantial damage as did the runway.
 On 5 November 2019, an Air Peace Boeing 737 with 90 passengers and 6 crew suffered an engine failure en route from Lagos to Owerri. The aircraft returned to Lagos where it landed safely without further incident.
 On 24 July 2021, an Air Peace Boeing 737 from Abuja to Ilorin suffered burst nose gear tires and became disabled on the runway upon landing. The airport was closed until the damaged aircraft could be safely removed from the runway.
 On 22 November 2021, an Air Peace Boeing 737 with 95 passengers and 6 crew flying from Owerri to Lagos reported an engine failure and suspected fire immediately following departure. The crew returned safely to land in Owerri on a single engine.

title: A.M. Stirton

text:
A. M. Stirton (1872–1939) was an American politician who participated in political activity as a member of the Socialist Party of America and the Industrial Workers of the World. Stirton eventually shifted his views away from electoral politics and advocated "direct action" in the industrial sector.

Socialist Party

Stirton was a delegate to the 1908 convention of the Socialist Party of America held in Chicago, Illinois where he was one of two delegates representing the state of Michigan. That same year, he was a Socialist candidate for governor in Michigan, gaining 1.74% of the vote. Along with his campaign in Michigan, he toured the Midwest with Socialist Party presidential candidate Eugene Debs. He also was a candidate for the Michigan State Board of Education in 1909.

During this period, Stirton was based in Hancock, Michigan and edited a socialist newspaper titled The Wage Slave. The Wage Slave was described in an advertisement as "revolutionary to the core" and "the enemy of everything that supports the existing order." The publication had national recognition and gave Stirton a role in national Socialist politics. The Wage Slave was published by the Työmies Publishing Company.

Turn away from electoral politics

By 1909, Stirton had turned away from electoral politics, believing instead that workers must engage in industrial action along syndicalist lines to achieve liberation. This change in views brought Stirton into the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) where he organized in the 1910s.

With the Industrial Workers of the World, Stirton was an active organizer. He edited the IWW newspaper Solidarity for a brief period in 1909. Following that period, Stirton moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan where he organized with Industrial Workers of the World Local 202. Stirton was a frequent IWW lecturer in Grand Rapids.

A.M. Stirton also authored the IWW pamphlet "Getting Recognition: What It Means to a Union" that was published and distributed by the national organization. The pamphlet was critical of official union recognition.

In 1869, Leatherwood moved to Tucson, Arizona Territory and lived there for the rest of his life. He operated a livery stable and had mining operations in the Santa Catalina Mountains. In addition to his mining interests, Leatherwood built a ranch in the Santa Catalinas.

Politically, Leatherwood was a member of the Tucson City Council from 1874 through 1879. He also served as a school trustee and was elected Mayor of Tucson for 1880. During his term of office, the Southern Pacific Railroad reached Tucson. To celebrate the March 20, 1880 arrival, Leatherwood appointed eight committees to help organize the festivities and served as chairman of both the Committee on Toasts and Speeches and the Committee of Reception. In 1885, Leatherwood represented Pima County in the Council (upper house) during the 13th Arizona Territorial Legislature. He was returned to the territorial legislature two years later, serving in the lower house during the 14th Arizona Territorial Legislature. Leatherwood's final term in the legislature was during the 1893 session.

By the late 1880s, Leatherwood was a deputy sheriff serving under Charles A. Shibell. He was elected Pima County Sheriff on November 6, 1894 and served in the office from 1895 through 1898. After leaving office he retired to private life.

Leatherwood died from a heart attack on April 3, 1920. He was buried in Moss Memorial Graveyard, Cherokee County, North Carolina. Despite rumors to the contrary, Leatherwood was not buried in his Civil War uniform.

title: Fragmen

text:
Fragmen (Fragment) is a 2014 album by Malaysian singer Siti Nurhaliza. It was her 17th studio album and her 15th Malay-language album, released physically on 30 June 2014 by Universal Music Group (Malaysia) in a collaboration with her own record company, Siti Nurhaliza Productions. Most of the songs in the album is inspired by her life and experiences. The production of the album saw a collaboration between Malaysian and Indonesian composers, lyricists and producers.

Fragmen has spawned four singles for the Malaysian market, "Lebih Indah" ("More Meaningful"), "Jaga Dia Untukku" ("Take Care of Him for Me"), "Terbaik Bagimu" ("The Best for You") and "Seluruh Cinta" ("All of Love"). In 2014, "Lebih Indah" received two nominations from 2014 World Music Awards in the category of World's Best Song and World's Best Music Video. In the same year, on 17 October, "Lebih Indah" also enabled Siti to win Best Artist (Female) and Best Song (Malaysia) awards from 2014 Anugerah Planet Muzik. Four days later, on 21 October, Fragmen and its singles were nominated in six different categories for 2014 Anugerah Industri Muzik. On 6 December, "Lebih Indah" and Fragmen also enabled Siti to win the Best Vocal Performance in a Song (Female) and Best Album from the 2014 Anugerah Industri Muzik. Her winning for "Lebih Indah" also marked the 12th time Siti winning the Best Vocal Performance in Song (Female) category.

On 21 October 2014, Fragmen was officially launched in Indonesia. Additional track, a duet with Cakra Khan, "Seluruh Cinta" was released as Fragmen's first single for the Indonesian market on the same day.

As of 27 August 2014, the album has been certified Platinum after it has been shipped for more than 10 000 copies. Less than three months later, Fragmen is estimated to be sold around 50 000 copies.

Background and recording

Fragmen is Siti's debut album through the collaboration of her own record company, Siti Nurhaliza Productions with Universal Music Group (Malaysia) since July 2011. The production of the album took place in October 2012 with the release of "Galau" ("Perplexed") on 11 January 2013. Though it was released digitally in January 2013, "Galau" was first performed during Dato' Siti Nurhaliza – Live in Kuantan 2012 concert in November 2012. However, when Fragmen was officially slated for release on 30 June 2014, "Galau" was dropped from the final track list. According to her management, the release of "Galau" was only intended as a promotional single to introduce the collaboration effort between Siti Nurhaliza Productions and Universal Music Group (Malaysia) to the public and not suitable for inclusion due to the differences of musical direction.

On 15 May, the first official single of the album, "Lebih Indah" was performed during the taping of her 90-minute special television program for Eid al-Fitr with TV2, Konsert Sanggar Lebaran Dato' Siti Nurhaliza. The show was aired much later, on 8 August. Recorded in 2013, the song is said to reflect the state of her emotions when she has to take care of her husband who was involved in a motorcycle accident in New Zealand in December 2012.

In July, Universal Music Group (Malaysia)'s A&R Director, Mujahid Abd Wahab revealed that the overall cost production that Universal has spent for this album reached almost RM 200 000. According to Mujahid, "The collaboration between Universal Music Malaysia and Siti is not only viewed from the sole perspective of profit only, in contrast, it is more than that. Universal Music Malaysia is willing to spend a large amount of expenditure for the creation of Siti's newest album since she is the country's asset. As the best singer, it is fitting that the album also matches her status." The RM 200 000 is said to only cover the production cost of the album alone.

In the process of the creation of the album, the album saw a collaboration of musicians, composers and technicians from multiple countries. The mastering of the album was done by Sterling Sound Studio in New York City. Ade Govinda, music composer from Indonesia who contributed "Terbaik Bagimu" is also one of the producers for the album.

Out of nine songs that are included in the album, three of them ("Mula dan Akhir", "Sanubari" and "Membunuh Benci") are chosen from her collaboration with "Bengkel Cipta Ekspres Badan Pelindung Hakcipta Karyawan Malaysia" (Music Author's Copyright Protection (MACP) Xpress Creation Workshop) on 25 April 2013. During the workshop, 10 music composers and 10 lyricists that were chosen were given three days to create 10 songs, before they were presented to Siti for her to evaluate their suitability to be included in her album. This marked her second time collaborating with MACP to find new materials for her album since her last traditional album, Lentera Timur.

Originally intended to be the tenth track for the album, "Seluruh Cinta", a duet with an Indonesia singer, Cakra Khan did not make the final cut of the album. The song which was recorded in three hours on 29 May 2014 at My Music, Jakarta Selatan, Indonesia was later revealed by Siti's management to be of a different project, though the possibility of its inclusion was actually considered. The song was finally included for the Indonesian version of Fragmen when it was officially launched and released on 21 October 2014.

Artwork and title

Shot by Bustamam Mokhtar, the album cover portrays Siti in a black ensemble. Siti explained on her choice of the black ensemble as, "Apart from the result of our discussion with the involved party in the creation of the album cover, I chose black because it is my favourite colour and it is perfect with the concept of elegance that I wanted." The album also marked her first cover album with her wearing a hijab. She explained, "This is my first album that portrays me in a hijab. Even with hijab, I still want uniqueness and in the same time the image that is being shown is suitable with the element of pop that is present in the album. Therefore, I intentionally chose black for the dress because black looks elegant."

Chosen by Rozi Abdul Razak, according to Siti, the album title is said "to picture a fragment of [my] life's tales, stories and experiences every day".

Release and promotion
Prior to its official launch on 21 July, the album was released both physically and digitally on two separate dates. The physical copies of the album was released on 30 June, while the digital version of the album was released on 14 July 2014. The album was officially launched at Le Méridien, Kuala Lumpur on 21 July. Apart from various performances of her songs for various occasions, she also did several meet and greet sessions to promote Fragmen to both Malaysian and Singaporean fans on 24 August (Pavilion), 25 September (Universiti Teknologi Malaysia), Malaysia and 17 October 2014 (Tampines Mall), Singapore.

On 21 October 2014, the Indonesian version of Fragmen was officially launched and released at Artotel, Central Jakarta with an additional track, a duet with Cakra Khan, "Seluruh Cinta". During her visit to promote her album, she appeared on several days in a row on multiple Indonesian entertainment-based programs like radio programs and television channels including "Persembahan Cinta 23" on (MNCTV), "dahSyat" and "Superstars" on RCTI, "Inbox" on SCTV, "Ada Ada Aja" on Global TV and "Sarah Sechan" on NET.

 Release history

Footnotes
 Note 1:  Though it was reported that the album was released on iTunes on 9 July, the album was actually released on 14 July, as evident on the first available promotional post from Universal Music Group (Malaysia)'s Facebook account. The album however was available for streaming on 9 July on both Deezer and Spotify.
 Note 2:  It is plausible that the song "Terbaik Bagimu" has been erroneously reported to be the product of Music Author's Copyright Protection (MACP) Xpress Creation Workshop since the song is written and composed by Indonesian composer and writers. According to MACP's official page, "Membunuh Benci" was composed by Acap and Hairul Anuar Harun during the 2014 workshop in April 2014, and may have been included in the album at the very last minute.
 Note 3:  Though it was reported that the song was released on iTunes on 4 April, the song was actually released on 4 May, two days after she promoted the song to radio stations.
 Note 4:'''  Track 10 refers to the additional song in the Indonesian version of Fragmen'' that is not available in the 9-track Malaysian version, "Seluruh Cinta".

title: Building performance simulation

text:
Building performance simulation (BPS) is the replication of aspects of building performance using a computer-based, mathematical model created on the basis of fundamental physical principles and sound engineering practice. The objective of building performance simulation is the quantification of aspects of building performance which are relevant to the design, construction, operation and control of buildings. Building performance simulation has various sub-domains; most prominent are thermal simulation, lighting simulation, acoustical simulation and air flow simulation. Most building performance simulation is based on the use of bespoke simulation software. Building performance simulation itself is a field within the wider realm of scientific computing.

Introduction
From a physical point of view, a building is a very complex system, influenced by a wide range of parameters. A simulation model is an abstraction of the real building which allows to consider the influences on high level of detail and to analyze key performance indicators without cost-intensive measurements. BPS is a technology of considerable potential that provides the ability to quantify and compare the relative cost and performance attributes of a proposed design in a realistic manner and at relatively low effort and cost. Energy demand, indoor environmental quality (incl. thermal and visual comfort, indoor air quality and moisture phenomena), HVAC and renewable system performance, urban level modeling, building automation, and operational optimization are important aspects of BPS.

Over the last six decades, numerous BPS computer programs have been developed. The most comprehensive listing of BPS software can be found in the BEST directory. Some of them only cover certain parts of BPS (e.g. climate analysis, thermal comfort, energy calculations, plant modeling, daylight simulation etc.). The core tools in the field of BPS are multi-domain, dynamic, whole-building simulation tools, which provide users with key indicators such as heating and cooling load, energy demand, temperature trends, humidity, thermal and visual comfort indicators, air pollutants, ecological impact and costs.

A typical building simulation model has inputs for local weather such as Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) file; building geometry; building envelope characteristics; internal heat gains from lighting, occupants and equipment loads; heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) system specifications; operation schedules and control strategies. The ease of input and accessibility of output data varies widely between BPS tools. Advanced whole-building simulation tools are able to consider almost all of the following in some way with different approaches.

Necessary input data for a whole-building simulation:
 Climate: ambient air temperature, relative humidity, direct and diffuse solar radiation, wind speed and direction
 Site: location and orientation of the building, shading by topography and surrounding buildings, ground properties
 Geometry: building shape and zone geometry
 Envelope: materials and constructions, windows and shading, thermal bridges, infiltration and openings
 Internal gains: lights, equipment and occupants including schedules for operation/occupancy
 Ventilation system: transport and conditioning (heating, cooling, humidification) of air
 Room units: local units for heating, cooling and ventilation
 Plant: Central units for transformation, storage and delivery of energy to the building
 Controls: for window opening, shading devices, ventilation systems, room units, plant components
Some examples for key performance indicators:
 Temperature trends: in zones, on surfaces, in construction layers, for hot or cold water supply or in double glass facades
 Comfort indicators: like PMV and PPD, radiant temperature asymmetry, CO2-concentration, relative humidity
 Heat balances: for zones, the whole building or single plant components
 Load profiles: for heating and cooling demand, electricity profile for equipment and lighting
 Energy demand: for heating, cooling, ventilation, light, equipment, auxiliary systems (e.g. pumps, fans, elevators)
 Daylight availability: in certain zone areas, at different time points with variable outside conditions
Other use of BPS software
 System sizing: for HVAC components like air handling units, heat exchanger, boiler, chiller, water storage tanks, heat pumps and renewable energy systems.
 Optimizing control strategies: Controller setup for shading, window opening, heating, cooling and ventilation for increased operation performance.

History
The history of BPS is approximately as long as that of computers. The very early developments in this direction started in the late 1950s and early 1960s in the United States and Sweden. During this period, several methods had been introduced for analyzing single system components (e.g. gas boiler) using steady state calculations. The very first reported simulation tool for buildings was BRIS, introduced in 1963 by the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Until the late 1960s, several models with hourly resolution had been developed focusing on energy assessments and heating/cooling load calculations. This effort resulted in more powerful simulation engines released in the early 1970s, among those were BLAST, DOE-2, ESP-r, HVACSIM+ and TRNSYS. In the United States, the 1970s energy crisis intensified these efforts, as reducing the energy consumption of buildings became an urgent domestic policy interest. The energy crisis also initiated development of U.S. building energy standards, beginning with ASHRAE 90-75.

The development of building simulation represents a combined effort between academia, governmental institutions, industry, and professional organizations. Over the past decades the building simulation discipline has matured into a field that offers unique expertise, methods and tools for building performance evaluation. Several review papers and state of the art analysis were carried out during that time giving an overview about the development.

In the 1980s, a discussion about future directions for BPS among a group of leading building simulation specialists started. There was a consensus that most of the tools, that had been developed until then, were too rigid in their structure to be able to accommodate the improvements and flexibility that would be called for in the future. Around this time, the very first equation-based building simulation environment ENET was developed, which provided the foundation of SPARK. In 1989, Sahlin and Sowell presented a Neutral Model Format (NMF) for building simulation models, which is used today in the commercial software IDA ICE. Four years later, Klein introduced the Engineering Equation Solver (EES) and in 1997, Mattsson and Elmqvist reported on an international effort to design Modelica.

BPS still presents challenges relating to problem representation, support for performance appraisal, enabling operational application, and delivering user education, training, and accreditation. Clarke (2015) describes a future vision of BPS with the following, most important tasks which should be addressed by the global BPS community.
 Better concept promotion
 Standardization of input data and accessibility of model libraries
 Standard performance assessment procedures
 Better embedding of BPS in practice
 Operational support and fault diagnosis with BPS
 Education, training, and user accreditation

Accuracy

In the context of building simulation models, error refers to the discrepancy between simulation results and the actual measured performance of the building. There are normally occurring uncertainties in building design and building assessment, which generally stem from approximations in model inputs, such as occupancy behavior. Calibration refers to the process of "tuning" or adjusting assumed simulation model inputs to match observed data from the utilities or Building Management System (BMS).

The number of publications dealing with accuracy in building modeling and simulation increased significantly over the past decade. Many papers report large gaps between simulation results and measurements, while other studies show that they can match very well. The reliability of results from BPS depends on many different things, e.g. on the quality of input data, the competence of the simulation engineers and on the applied methods in the simulation engine. An overview about possible causes for the widely discussed performance gap from design stage to operation is given by de Wilde (2014) and a progress report by the Zero Carbon Hub (2013). Both conclude the factors mentioned above as the main uncertainties in BPS.

ASHRAE Standard 140-2017 "Standard Method of Test for the Evaluation of Building Energy Analysis Computer Programs (ANSI Approved)" provides a method to validate the technical capability and range of applicability of computer programs to calculate thermal performance. ASHRAE Guideline 4-2014 provides performance indices criteria for model calibration. The performance indices used are normalized mean bias error (NMBE), coefficient of variation (CV) of the root mean square error (RMSE), and R2 (coefficient of determination). ASHRAE recommends a R2 greater than 0.75 for calibrated models. The criteria for NMBE and CV RMSE depends on if measured data is available at a monthly or hourly timescale.

Technological aspects
Given the complexity of building energy and mass flows, it is generally not possible to find an analytical solution, so the simulation software employs other techniques, such as response function methods, or numerical methods in finite differences or finite volume, as an approximation. Most of today's whole building simulation programs formulate models using imperative programming languages. These languages assign values to variables, declare the sequence of execution of these assignments and change the state of the program, as is done for example in C/C++, Fortran or MATLAB/Simulink. In such programs, model equations are tightly connected to the solution methods, often by making the solution procedure part of the actual model equations. The use of imperative programming languages limits the applicability and extensibility of models. More flexibility offer simulation engines using symbolic Differential Algebraic Equations (DAEs) with general purpose solvers that increase model reuse, transparency and accuracy. Since some of these engines have been developed for more than 20 years (e.g. IDA ICE) and due to the key advantages of equation-based modeling, these simulation engines can be considered as state of the art technology.

Applications
Building simulation models may be developed for both new or existing buildings. Major use categories of building performance simulation include:
 Architectural Design: quantitatively compare design or retrofit options in order to inform a more energy-efficient building design
 HVAC Design: calculate thermal loads for sizing of mechanical equipment and help design and test system control strategies
 Building Performance Rating: demonstrate performance-based compliance with energy codes, green certification, and financial incentives
 Building Stock Analysis: support development of energy codes and standards and plan large scale energy efficiency programs
 CFD in buildings: simulation of boundary conditions like surface heat fluxes and surface temperatures for a following CFD study of the situation

Software tools
There are hundreds of software tools available for simulating the performance of buildings and building subsystems, which range in capability from whole-building simulations to model input calibration to building auditing. Among whole-building simulation software tools, it is important to draw a distinction between the simulation engine, which dynamically solves equations rooted in thermodynamics and building science, and the modeler application (interface).

In general, BPS software can be classified into
 Applications with integrated simulation engine (e.g. EnergyPlus, ESP-r, TAS, IES-VE, IDA ICE)
 Software that docks to a certain engine (e.g. Designbuilder, eQuest, RIUSKA, Sefaira)
 Plugins for other software enabling certain performance analysis (e.g. DIVA for Rhino, Honeybee, Autodesk Green Building Studio)

Contrary to this presentation, there are some tools that in fact do not meet these sharp classification criteria, such as ESP-r which can also be used as a modeler application for EnergyPlus and there are also other applications using the IDA simulation environment, which makes "IDA" the engine and "ICE" the modeler. Most modeler applications support the user with a graphical user interface to make data input easier. The modeler creates an input file for the simulation engine to solve. The engine returns output data to the modeler application or another visualization tool which in turn presents the results to the user. For some software packages, the calculation engine and the interface may be the same product. The table below gives an overview about commonly used simulation engines and modeler applications for BPS.

BPS in practice
Since the 1990s, building performance simulation has undergone the transition from a method used mainly for research to a design tool for mainstream industrial projects. However, the utilization in different countries still varies greatly. Building certification programs like LEED (USA), BREEAM (UK) or DGNB (Germany)  showed to be a good driving force for BPS to find broader application. Also, national building standards that allow BPS based analysis are of good help for an increasing industrial adoption, such as in the United States (ASHRAE 90.1), Sweden (BBR), Switzerland (SIA) and the United Kingdom (NCM).

The Swedish building regulations are unique in that computed energy use has to be verified by measurements within the first two years of building operation. Since the introduction in 2007, experience shows that highly detailed simulation models are preferred by modelers to reliably achieve the required level of accuracy. Furthermore, this has fostered a simulation culture where the design predictions are close to the actual performance. This in turn has led to offers of formal energy guarantees based on simulated predictions, highlighting the general business potential of BPS.

Performance-based compliance
In a performance-based approach, compliance with building codes or standards is based on the predicted energy use from a building simulation, rather than a prescriptive approach, which requires adherence to stipulated technologies or design features. Performance-based compliance provides greater flexibility in the building design as it allows designers to miss some prescriptive requirements if the impact on building performance can be offset by exceeding other prescriptive requirements. The certifying agency provides details on model inputs, software specifications, and performance requirements.

The following is a list of U.S. based energy codes and standards that reference building simulations to demonstrate compliance:
 ASHRAE 90.1
 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)
 Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
Green Globes
 California Title 24
 EnergyStar Multifamily High rise Program
 Passive House Institute US (PHIUS)

The 2015 Prince Edward Island general election was held May 4, 2015, to elect members of the 65th General Assembly of Prince Edward Island. Under amendments passed by the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island in 2008, Prince Edward Island elections are usually held on the first Monday of October in the fourth calendar year, unless it is dissolved earlier by the Lieutenant Governor of Prince Edward Island due to a motion of no confidence. The current government had hinted that an election would be held "before Mother's Day" 2015, and such a dissolution would avoid any conflicts with the next federal election, expected to be held in October 2015.

The governing Liberals were elected to a third consecutive majority government under Premier Wade MacLauchlan, while the Progressive Conservatives made slight gains despite party leader Rob Lantz failing to win election in Charlottetown-Brighton. The Green Party, meanwhile, won its first seat in the legislature, with leader Peter Bevan-Baker elected in Kellys Cross-Cumberland. The New Democratic Party was shut out.

title: Arif Huseynov

text:
Arif Huseynov (born 1943) is an Azerbaijani painter. He was awarded the titles of People's Artist of Azerbaijan (2006), and  Honored Artist of the Azerbaijan (1992).

About
Arif Huseynov was born in 1943 in Gala Village of Baku, Azerbaijan SSR, Soviet Union (now Azerbaijan). In 1960 to 1962, he graduated from the secondary school of art at Azim Azimzade Art School and in 1965 to 1972, he studied at the Azerbaijan State University of Culture and Arts. Huseynov's works are currently being kept at the Azerbaijan National Museum of Art, Moscow State Museum of Oriental Art, Azerbaijan State Gallery, as well as in personal collections.

Creativity
Since 1975 is a member of the Union of Artists. For more than 40 years, he has been consistently engaged in creativity. As of this period, he was mainly engaged in machine and book graphics.

The portrait works of Huseynov are mostly historical. These portraits cross the narrow realism border. War and military scenes around the portraits have a great impact on the audience. Portraits of historical personalities and literary characters are rich in Huseynov's work. Portraits of poets - Nizami, Fuzuli and Sabir, Tolstoy and Andersen or Azerbaijani generals of the writers have been accurately described. Physical characteristics have been conveyed, and the illustrations has also been able to show their inner world.

In illustrations for many books by local and foreign authors, Huseynov gives a modern interpretation of the traditional principles of Azerbaijan. Illustrations show not only the artist's read, but his perspective. These drawings make the artist one of the legitimate authors of the book. These illustrations make space for readers. Some of the best examples of Huseynov's illustration are: "Fitna" - Nizami Ganjavi, "Words" - Samad Vurgun, "Knight in tiger skin" - Shota Rustavelli and "Doctor Aybolit" by Korney Chukovskiy.

title: Harinder Malhi

text:
Harinder Kaur Malhi  (born ) is a Canadian former politician in Ontario, Canada. She was a Liberal member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 2014 to 2018 who represented the riding of Brampton—Springdale, and was a member of the Ontario provincial cabinet in the government of Kathleen Wynne.

Background
Malhi's family is of Indian descent, and she speaks Punjabi. Her father, Gurbax Singh Malhi, was a Liberal federal Member of Parliament between 1993 and 2011, representing the riding of Bramalea—Gore—Malton. Her mother is Devinder Malhi.

Malhi studied at Ryerson University, where she obtained a degree in public administration and governance. She worked as a sales agent at a telecommunications company in Brampton, and then as a real estate agent.

Politics
On 25 October 2010, she was elected as a school trustee for the Peel District School Board, representing Brampton wards 9 and 10, during the 2010 municipal election.

Malhi was selected as the Liberal candidate for the Brampton-Springdale riding after incumbent cabinet minister Linda Jeffrey vacated the seat in March 2014 to run for the mayor of Brampton.

title: Galgberget, Visby

text:
Galgberget (the Gallow Hill) is a nature reserve just north of Visby on Gotland, Sweden. The area is bounded to the west by the cliff edge, in the east by County Road 149, and in the south by the town of Visby.

Galgberget is named after the still remaining gallows, built during the 13th century, where local criminals used to be executed. It is claimed to be the only preserved Medieval execution site in Europe. The gallows consist of a low, circular stone wall with three pillars of stone rising from it. Wooden beams rested on the pillars, and criminals were hanged from these using ropes and hooks. It is believed that the gallows were in use until 1845. The gallows were situated so that there was a clear view of them in Visby and from the sea, so that everyone could view those who had been executed. In July 2008, archaeologists from the Gotland Museum found the bones of some 30 people who had been executed, presumably on the spot, in an archaeological trench inside the stone circle of the gallows.

The area has barren vegetation due to its limestone constitution, the most common plant being Prunus spinosa, commonly called the blackthorn or sloe. It is a popular hiking area. Galgberget also has the ruin of a lime kiln and a disused motor stadium. , there are also a number of recently built apartment houses.

During the Medieval Week reenactment of the Battle of Visby in 2008, the local branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism organized a medieval tent camp at Galgberget.

The Duke University Center for Child and Family Policy was established on July 1, 1999, with Kenneth A. Dodge, William McDougall Professor of Public Policy and Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, as its director.   The center brings scientific research on children and families into the policymaking arena.

History

The Center for Child and Family Policy grew out of discussions among a group of Duke faculty members from different disciplines who were interested in child development and child policy. The group, which included John Coie (psychology), Phil Costanzo (psychology), Philip J. Cook (public policy and economics), Jane Costello (psychiatry), and Alan Kerckhoff (sociology), among others, approached William Chafe, then dean of the faculty of Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, who agreed to support the launching of  a new center dedicated to child and family policy.
In 1998, Kenneth Dodge, a clinical and developmental psychologist from Vanderbilt University who had earned his Ph.D. at Duke in 1978, was recruited to lead the venture.

The Center for Child and Family Policy opened on July 1, 1999. It now includes about 70 employees and more than 40 affiliated faculty fellows.  It is affiliated with Duke University's Sanford School of Public Policy and Social Science Research Institute.

Programs

Research
Center research focuses on issues relevant to child and family policy, including early childhood education, early adversity and early interventions, ADHD, education reform, parenting across cultures, changing family structure, effects of job loss on student performance and prevention of adolescent problem behaviors such as violence, mental illness and substance abuse. The Center houses a large research effort focused on the biology and behavior underlying teen substance abuse, the Center for the Study of Adolescent Risk and Resilience (C-StARR).

NC Education Research Data Center
The Center is also home to the NC Education Research Data Center, established in 2000 as a partnership with the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. It houses data on N.C.'s public schools, which is available to researchers and nonprofit institutions for use in research.

Teaching

The Center offers fellowships to undergraduate and graduate students interested in child and family policy. It also offers a Child Policy Research Certificate program for Duke undergraduates.

Public Engagement

Center faculty and staff consult with policymakers and practitioners, responding to requests for research, information, and program evaluation. Center staff members have presented educational seminars for North Carolina lawmakers on issues such as childhood obesity and juvenile justice. The Center's School Research Partnership facilitates research in local schools, linking school district and other organizations with Duke students and researchers.
