title: Gut (coastal geography)

text:
A gut is a narrow coastal body of water, a channel or strait, usually one that is subject to strong tidal currents flowing back and forth. The term is also used in some places for a small creek.

Coastal channels

Many guts are straits but some are at a river mouths where tidal currents are strong. The comparatively large quantities of water that flow quite quickly through a gut can cause heavy erosion that results in a channel deeper than the rest of the surrounding seabed, and the currents may present a hazard to ships and boats at times.

The term "gut" is primarily (though not exclusively) applied to channels of the coastal waters of the Atlantic coast of North America. A similar term of related but not identical meaning, "gat", is applied to some narrow waterways of the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts of Europe.

Some bodies of water named "Gut" are:
Digby Gut in Nova Scotia
Mira Gut, at the confluence of the Mira River with the Atlantic Ocean at the settlement of Mira Gut, Nova Scotia
Gut of Canso in Nova Scotia
Big Gut at Pictou Landing, Nova Scotia
Shippagan Gut, separating Lamèque Island from the mainland in New Brunswick
The Gut, separating Rutherford Island from the mainland at South Bristol, Maine
Townsend Gut, separating Southport Island from the mainland at Southport, Maine
The Gut at Biddeford Pool in Maine
Hull Gut in Massachusetts
Shirley Gut in Massachusetts (now filled)
Sally's Gut, in Lake Winnipesaukee between Stonedam Island and the mainland
Plum Gut (site of the Plum Gut Lighthouse), separating Plum Island from Long Island in New York
Turtle Gut, site of the Battle of Turtle Gut Inlet in New Jersey (now filled)
The Wooly Gut, separating West Point Island from West Falkland in the Falkland Islands
The Gut of Gibraltar, an alternate and mostly archaic name for the Strait of Gibraltar

Many other channels in Canada are named "Gut". Applied to proper names, "gut" is sometimes used more broadly. For instance South Gut and North Gut at the settlement of South Gut St. Anns, Nova Scotia are just inlets, while Brewery Gut in England and The Gut in Ontario are fast-flowing stretches of river, Jigsaw Rock Gut in Antarctica is a gully, and Gardner's Gut in New Zealand is a cave system. Conversely, some guts are not so named, such as The Rip, a gut in Australia, where the term "gut" is not used.

Small creeks
Another meaning for "gut" in geography is a small creek, and this is seen in proper names in eastern North America from the Mid-Atlantic states (for instance, The Gut in Pennsylvania, Ash Gut in Delaware, and other streams) down into the Caribbean (for instance, Guinea Gut, Fish Bay Gut, Cob Gut, Battery Gut and other rivers and streams in the United States Virgin Islands, in Jamaica (Sandy Gut, Bens Gut River, White Gut River), and in many streams and creeks of the Dutch Caribbean).

title: Mount Pinacle

text:
Mount Pinacle () is a mountain located in Coaticook, Quebec Canada. The mountain has five hiking trails of varying difficulty, covering approximately , that visitors can explore with the purchase of an admission ticket. Experienced rock climbers may scale the face of the hill starting from Lake Lyster. The mountain is exploited for its abundance of maples, with a sugar bush running along a portion of its trails.

History
The hill has been officially known as Le Pinacle since 1978.

In 2013, part of the hill was closed to rock climbing due to the nesting of peregrine falcons on Mount Pinacle.

In June 2014, a 10-year-old child on a field trip went to the emergency department after surviving a 10-metre fall down a crevice on the mountain. Approximately a dozen firefighters were onsite for two hours rescuing the child, although he was not gravely injured.

title: Fossil Lake (Oregon)

text:
Fossil Lake (designated by the Bureau of Land Management as Fossil Lake Area of Critical Environmental Concern) is a dry lakebed in the remote high desert country of northern Lake County in the U.S. state of Oregon. During the Pleistocene epoch, Fossil Lake and the surrounding basin were covered by an ancient lake. Numerous animals used the lake's resources. Over time, the remains of many of these animals became fossilized in the lake sediments.  As a result, Fossil Lake has been an important site for fossil collection and scientific study for well over a century.  Over the years, paleontologists have found the fossil remains of numerous mammals as well as bird and fish species there. Some of these fossils are 2 million years old.

Location

Fossil Lake is located in a remote area of northern Lake County, Oregon. It is  from the unincorporated community of Christmas Valley by road.  Fossil Lake is approximately  southeast of Bend and  north of Lakeview by straight-line distance.

From Christmas Valley, visitors travel east on County Road 5–14 (Christmas Valley-Wagontire Road) for , then turn north on County Road 5-14D (Fossil Lake Road).  Travel  and then turn east onto the County Road 5-14E (Lost Forest Road), a gravel road. After approximately , turn south onto a rough unmarked dirt road. The Fossil Lake interpretive sign is approximately  from the turnoff. Vehicles are not allowed in the Fossil Lake Area of Critical Environmental Concern, so visitors must walk the last  to the Fossil Lake interpretive sign. Fossil Lake itself is  southwest of the sign.

Geology and natural history
The bedrock beneath the Fossil Lake area was created by basalt flows laid down during the Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs. After a period of intense faulting during the middle Pleistocene, a large basin area created by horst and graben faulting was modified by erosion and sedimentation.  This basin filled with water during the wet climatic periods of the Pleistocene and post-Pleistocene to a depth of .  Over the past 3,200 years, the surface water in the Christmas Valley basin including Fossil Lake has completely dried up, leaving a high-desert environment.

The lakebed at Fossil Lake was formed during the post-Pleistocene period from lake sediments and alluvial materials.  Pumice sands from Mount Mazama and Newberry Crater also appear in the surface soils throughout the Fossil Lake area.  The surface soils are underlain by a hard calcium carbonate caliche layer several inches thick.  This subsurface caliche layer is impervious to water drainage and is seldom penetrated by roots.  This locally unique water-retentive sub-surface structure has helped the ponderosa pines in nearby Lost Forest Research Natural Area survive in the high-desert environment.

In 1877, there were still two small seasonal ponds at the Fossil Lake site surrounded by a large dry lakebed.  The two ponds were called the Fossil Lakes.  Since then, both ponds have dried up completely.  In addition, the site name is now singular and only applies to the western dry-pond area.

Today, the Fossil Lake site is a dry lakebed above fossil-bearing deposits in the Christmas Valley basin.  The area is generally flat with gentle swales.  The elevation of the lakebed is  above sea level.  There are large moving sand dunes east of the lakebed.  These dunes are made up of lacustrine sediments, aeolian deposits, and alluvial materials with large amounts of volcanic pumice and ash mixed into fine sand that have been blown off the surface of Fossil Lake.

History

The first settlers arrived in the Christmas Lake Valley around 1865.  In June 1877, John Whiteaker (a former governor of Oregon) visited the Christmas Valley basin.  During the trip, Whiteaker explored the Fossil Lake area, where he found a large dry lakebed with two small alkali ponds in low spots.  Whiteaker named the ponds the Fossil Lakes.  In addition, he found numerous exposed fossils throughout the area, including elephant, camel, horse, and elk fossils, as well as fossils from animals that Whiteaker could not identify.  He noted that horse and bird fossils were particularly plentiful.  He also found ancient human artifacts.  Whiteaker reported that fossils were scattered across a large swath of desert running from southwest to northeast.  He estimated that the fossil beds were  wide and over  long.  After his trip, Whiteaker delivered his fossils to Thomas Condon, a well-known paleontologist and professor at the University of Oregon.

Later that year, Whiteaker's son, J.C. Whiteaker, returned to Fossil Lake with professor Condon.  The goal of this second expedition was to more carefully examine and record the numerous fossils scattered around the Fossil Lake site.  Condon's discoveries at Fossil Lake attracted the attention of other well-known paleontologists.

After the first site surveys in 1877, numerous paleontologists have visited Fossil Lake to collect fossils and conduct research.   In 1879, Professor Edward D. Cope of the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences visited Condon at the University of Oregon and then went to Fossil Lake to collect fossils.  Other paleontologists who collected at Fossil Lake during the latter part of the 19th century include O. C. Marsh of Yale University; Charles H. Sternberg, an author and amateur paleontologist; Cope's pupil Jacob L. Wortman of the American Museum of Natural History; and Robert W. Shufeldt, curator of the Army Medical Museum.  Both Sternberg and Wortman led expeditions that collected for professor Cope.  The Smithsonian Institution also began research at Fossil Lake in the late 1800s.  In 1901, Annie M. Alexander visited Fossil Lake to collect fossils. She sent her specimens to University of California. During this period, local settlers reported that fossils were often removed by the wagon load.

After 1906, the number of homesteads in the Christmas Valley basin began to increase.  In that year, a post office was opened at Cliff, just north of Fossil Lake.  Settlers used the Fossil Lake area for grazing sheep, cattle, and horses.  Due to the harsh high-desert conditions, most of the settlers had abandoned their farms by 1920. That was the year the Cliff post office was closed.  A prolonged drought in the 1920s and 1930s put an end to dry farming in the region.

Additional fossil collection and research was conducted in the early 20th century.  In 1907, David S. Jordan identified some of the fish fossils from the site.  In 1911, Loye Holmes Miller identified and described a number of new bird fossils.  Stufeldt identified more bird fossils in 1913.  He also corrected some misidentified mammal fossils found during previous expeditions. Miller, Oliver P. Hay, and John C. Merriam also studied the age of the Fossil Lake specimens, concluding that the large number of extinct species indicated that the fossil period was older than previously thought.  In addition, Chester Stock and E. L. Furlong conducted summers digs at the site of 1923 and 1924.  Stock and Furlong sent their finds to the University of California.

In 1977, the Bureau of Land Management placed a temporary ban on vehicles in the Fossil Lake area.  The restriction applied to  around the dry lakebed.  In 1979, the Bureau of Land Management made the vehicle ban permanent.  In 1983, the Bureau of Land Management joined Fossil Lake, the neighboring Lost Forest Research Natural Area, and the Christmas Valley Sand Dunes into a single Area of Critical Environmental Concern.  Collecting fossils in the Fossil Lake Area of Critical Environmental Concern without a permit from the Bureau of Land Management is prohibited.

In early 1990s, the Bureau of Land Management began working with the South Dakota School of Mines to salvage fossils and conduct paleontological research at Fossil Lake.  This collaboration lasted well over a decade.  The fossils collected during that project are housed at the South Dakota School of Mines campus in Rapid City, South Dakota.

In 2017, a team from the University of Oregon with the assistance of the Bureau of Land Management discovered a trail of Columbian mammoth footprints.  The track included 117 individual mammoth prints in a  by  area of the lakebed.  Scientists believe the tracks were made approximately 43,000 years ago.

Fossils

The fossil-bearing deposits at Fossil Lake cover at least .  Over the years, there have been numerous expeditions to collect fossils at the Fossil Lake site.  The site has produced more Holocene fossils than any other location in the world except the La Brea Tar Pits in California.  Fossil discoveries have included at least 23 mammal species, 74 bird species, 7 fish species, and 11 mollusk species.  Some of the large mammal fossils found at the site include Columbian mammoths, ground sloths, dire wolves, giant beavers, pre-historic bison, three species of camels, several horse species, peccary, and an extinct bear.  Bird fossils include flamingos, pelicans, and swans, and large eagle species.  Fish fossils include tui chub and several salmon species.  Two-thirds of the fossil species collected at Fossil Lake are extinct.

The extent of the fossil beds at the Fossil Lake site is still unknown; stratigraphically specific rock layers laid down at different periods each contain characteristic fossils of different animals.  The fossil deposits from the Holocene epoch are between 8,000 and 50,000 years old.  There are also Fossil Lake artifacts that indicate that humans may have hunted in this area near the end of this period.  Some prey may have been large mammals that are now extinct.  The oldest fossils from the site date back to the Pleistocene epoch.  These fossils are up to 2 million years old.

The Bureau of Land Management has identified several environmental concerns with regard to the Fossil Lake site.  First, the fossil deposits extend beyond the boundary of the existing restricted area.  As a result, there is a risk that vehicles or grazing livestock may damage unprotected fossils.  Second, illegal fossil collecting is a potential problem.  Finally, loose surface sediments at Fossil Lake continue to erode, exposing new fossils each year.  When fossils are first exposed, they are often found as articulated skeletons.  However, the remains are quickly scattered due to wind action.  Sandy sediments carried by the wind also cause rapid weathering once the fossils are exposed.  As a result, scientists try to collect the newly exposed fossils as soon as possible.

Today, large fossil collections from the Fossil Lake site are maintained by the University of Oregon, the Smithsonian Institution, the South Dakota School of Mines, the University of California at Los Angeles, and the University of California at Berkeley.

Environment

Based on National Weather Service data recorded at Cliff between 1908 and 1916 and other nearby weather reporting stations, the mean annual temperature in the Fossil Lake area is .  The hottest and driest months are July and August, with a peak average temperature of .  The coldest months are December and January.  The average daily temperature in December is  and  in January.  The mean annual precipitation at Fossil Lake is  per year.  The wettest months are December and January, with a smaller peak period in May and June.  However, weather patterns in this area are very erratic.  For example, there was an extremely severe drought throughout the 1920s and early 1930s.

The Fossil Lake area supports a plant community dominated by big sagebrush, low sagebrush, silver sagebrush, green rabbitbrush (also called yellow rabbitbrush), rubber rabbitbrush, and greasewood.  There are a number of perennial grasses common in the Fossil Lake area, including Sandberg bluegrass, needle-and-thread grass, Indian ricegrass, creeping wildrye, and invasive cheatgrass.  Perennial flowering plants found in the Fossil Lake area include prickly-phlox, lemon scrufpea common wooly sunflower, and Townsend daisy, and spiny hopsage.

Wildlife

The animal population around Fossil Lake is typical of the high desert country of south-central Oregon.  The larger mammals include pronghorn, American badger, and coyotes.  Black-tailed jackrabbits, Ord's kangaroo rats, deer mice, Great Basin pocket mice, and northern grasshopper mice are among the smaller animals found in the Fossil Lake area.  There also 13 bat species that live in the desert around Fossil Lake.  In 1917, a diminutive bear was killed near Fossil Lake.  Originally, it was thought that the bear might be a unique species, a lava bear.  A photograph of the bear was published in Oregon Sportsman magazine in October 1917.  Eventually, it was determined that the specimen was an unusually small American black bear stunted from malnutrition.

Fossil Lake is home to a number of bird species as well.  They include greater sage-grouse, black-billed magpie, pinyon jay, Brewer's blackbird, American robin, mountain bluebird, sage thrasher, Sagebrush sparrow, and loggerhead shrike.  There are also birds of prey such as prairie falcon, red-tailed hawks, and golden eagles.

There are a number of reptiles found in the Fossil Lake area, both snakes and lizards.  Snakes found in the area around Fossil Lake include western rattlesnakes, gopher snakes, striped whipsnakes, and night snakes.  Common lizards include sagebrush lizards, short-horned lizards, side-blotched lizards, western fence lizards, and western skinks.

title: Simon Scott (painter)

text:
Simon (John) "Scotty" Scott (20 October 1966 – 8 August 2014) was a British artist and musician, who played rock, punk, soul and country and specialized in a variety of media including commercial art, fine art and street art. His vibrant paintings and graphic artwork can be found throughout the lower Manhattan neighborhoods he loved to roam. He has designed artwork for some of New York City's most visually engaging restaurants, clubs and bars.

Biography
Simon Scott was born in Peterlee in County Durham in Northern England on 20 October 1966. He attended Our Lady of the Rosary Infants and Junior School before attending St Bede's RC Comprehensive School. At 16, he moved to London and began working as a musician, singing and playing guitar in a number of bands around the city, where he soaked up a wide range of musical influences. He formed his first band, Hooker, with childhood friend Terry Kirkbride in the early 1990s, signing to the newly relaunched Regal Recordings and releasing the first ever single on the new incarnation of the label, when "Cheap Watch" was released on 7" vinyl-only format in 1995. Later, he and Kirkbride, along with fellow County Durham native Colin Murray "Gem" Archer, who went on to play rhythm guitar for Oasis, and Welsh musician Carwyn Ellis, formed Southern Fly. Scott honed his sound as Southern Fly maintained a busy touring schedule through bars and nightclubs in London and other European cities. Scott also sang for a band called The Soul Winners, and another called The Edge, founded by Archer. In 2001, Scott moved to New York City, where he lived in Spanish Harlem - writing songs and working as a chef to pay the rent. In early 2006, he recorded an album, Rhythm Guitar, Shakers and Tambourines, in Oxford, Mississippi. Musicians appearing on this record include Cody and Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars) and Ellis (Colorama). Back in New York, Scott formed a new band—Simon Scott and the Band of Infidels—which performed frequently throughout the city.

Meanwhile Scott was honing a signature style of painting that increasingly dominated his focus in the latter years of his life. The same year he recorded "Rhythm Guitar, Shakers and Tambourines," Scott founded East Side Art and Design, a design firm specializing in bespoke and promotional logos, murals, calligraphy, signage and artwork for independent and corporate businesses. Scott's knack for communicating a rich, shared vision fostered successful collaborations with fellow artists, gallery owners, and corporate clients including Budweiser, Jameson Irish Whiskey, Red Bull and Pernod Ricard.

Towards the end of his life, Bowery Ballroom held a benefit concert to raise money for his cancer treatment. Performers included The Bogmen, Blubba Brothers, Beast Patrol, and Annie Ragz.

"Chances are that if you've had a pint of beer, maybe more, anywhere around town during the last eight or so years, you've come into direct contact with the work of Simon Scott," New York Magazine's Grubstreet blog wrote.

Scott died on Friday 8 August 2014 at the Visiting Nurse Service of New York Haven Hospice Specialty Care Unit at Bellevue Hospital Center in New York City, surrounded by loved ones, including his closest friends, Kieran Blake and Ted Pratt. He was the beloved son of Marie Scott, nephew to James Patrick Watson.

title: National Immigration Law Center

text:
The National Immigration Law Center (NILC) is a center in the United States that "engages in policy analysis, litigation, education and advocacy, to achieve [the] vision" of "a society in which all people—regardless of race, gender, immigration or economic status—are treated fairly and humanely." They claim to concentrate on social, economic, and racial justice for low-income immigrants. They have offices in Washington, D.C. as well as in Los Angeles and Oakland, California. Their executive director is Marielena Hincapié.

Activities

NILC plays a role both in advocacy to influence legislation in a manner that would provide greater justice to immigrants and in spreading awareness and information so that immigrants can better navigate the existing social, political, and legal landscape. Unlike the National Immigrant Justice Center, they do not provide or facilitate direct legal representation to immigrants. Their activities include publishing information on immigration reform legislation, immigration enforcement, workers' rights, education, driver's licenses, taxes, and litigation. Their litigation activities are intended as impact litigation, i.e., they focus on litigation that might have an effect on state laws or on the judicial interpretation of these laws.

title: Estoppel certificate

text:
An estoppel Certificate (or Estoppel Letter) is a document often used in due diligence in real estate and mortgage activities.  It is a document often completed, but at least signed, by a tenant used in their landlord's proposed transaction with a third party. A mortgage lender intending to collateralize a tenant-occupied property or a purchaser intending to purchase such a property will often want to verify certain representations made by the landlord.

An estoppel certificate provides confirmation by the tenant of the terms of the rental agreement, such as the amount of rent, the amount of security deposit and the expiration of the agreement.   Further, the estoppel certificate may give the opportunity to the tenant to explain if they may have any claims against the landlord, which may affect a buyer's or lender's decision to complete the proposed transaction.

Some lease agreements require the tenant to complete such a certificate or to waive their responses by allowing the landlord to complete the estoppel certificate under certain circumstances.

If the language in the lease so provides, a tenant can be in default under a lease after failing to comply with a request from the landlord for an estoppel certificate.  The majority of commercial leases include a provision establishing the requirements for the provision of a tenant estoppel certificate following the landlord's request.

title: Frank Frangie

text:
Frank Frangie is an American sports announcer who works as an afternoon drive talk show host on 1010XL/92.5 FM radio stations in Jacksonville, FL. He is the radio play-by-play voice of the Jacksonville Jaguars NFL football team. He also is one of the founders and the president and CEO of GridironNow.com, a website specializing in the coverage of SEC Football. Frank Frangie was a cohost on WQIK AM 1320 with Scott Richards. Source; Scott Richards

Background/Early media career
Frangie is originally from Jacksonville, attended Englewood High School and later the University of Florida, where he earned a degree in Journalism and Communications in 1980. He began his sports media career as a part-time sports writer for the Florida Times-Union/Jacksonville Journal upon graduation from college and became a full-time sports writer with the paper in 1985. He was a sports writer, covering high schools, then major colleges, then finally the University of Florida. He also wrote columns for the afternoon editions of the paper. He remained with the paper until March, 1993.

Broadcast career
In 1988, in addition to his work as a sports writer, he began a career as a radio talk show host. He hosted a show on AM 1320 (WQIK-AM, later becoming WJGR) for one year, then moved to 930 AM (WCRJ, which became WNZS and ultimately WFXJ) and joined longtime host Jay Solomon on his show there from 1989 until 1993, when he resigned from the Florida Times-Union to become full-time host of his own show.

He stayed with 930 AM until July, 2002, when he moved to AM1460 (WZNZ) working with Brady Ackerman. He remained there until April, 2007, when he helped launch 1010XL/92.5 FM which became Jacksonville’s first all-sports radio station to air locally originated programming from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. weekdays. He remains the afternoon drive host on 1010XL/92.5 FM, which is generally considered Jacksonville’s most successful sports radio station ever. That position was ensured when the station became the flagship station of the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars in spring of 2014.

Team/Network affiliations
After moving into a broadcast career on a full-time basis in 1993, he became a pre-game host on the multi-station Gator radio network from 1996 through 1998. That job included hosting pre-game shows for all University of Florida football games during that stretch, plus doing play-by-play and color commentary on Gator baseball, women’s basketball and other sports.

He went on to host numerous college football and basketball programs on Fox Sports Florida, Sun Sports, Comcast Sports Southeast and other regional sports networks around the country from 2000 through 2010.

In 2007, he was named the primary radio play-by-play voice of the Touchdown Radio Network, a national network that traveled to and broadcast a prominent national college football game of the week. He worked alongside color analyst Gino Torretta, the 1992 Heisman Trophy winner and the founder of Touchdown Radio.

He worked as the primary Touchdown Radio play-by-play voice until May, 2014, when he was named the radio play-by-play voice of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Gridironnow.com
In addition to his duties as the afternoon drive host on 1010XL/92.5 FM and as the voice of the Jaguars, Frangie combined with Ben Balke, President of Etchasoft, Inc. and Seven Bridges Radio – the ownership entity of 1010XL/92.5 FM – to launch GridironNow.com (GN) in September, 2015. GN is a college football website specializing in the coverage of SEC Football and employs nationally known writers Tony Barnhart, Mike Huguenin, Jimmy Hyams and others.

title: Typhoon Tess (1953)

text:
Typhoon Tess was a typhoon that caused great damage to Japan (especially the Kinki region) in September 1953 while Japan was still in the middle of post-war recovery. The name 'Typhoon Tess' has been attributed to eleven other tropical cyclones.

Meteorological history
On September 16, a weak tropical cyclone formed in the eastern Caroline Islands. It remained relatively weak until around the September 21, but on the 22nd it strengthened rapidly. The pressure of Typhoon Tess was  at 9:00 (JST) on the same day, and dropped to 900mb at 15:00 JST. Such a sudden increase in power is extremely rare. This pressure drop corresponds to the largest of Pacific typhoons since 1951. Tess finally crossed the Shima Peninsula and made landfall to Aichi Prefecture on the September 25.

Impact
The number of people killed by Tess was 393, while 85 were missing. Japan suffered some large-scale disasters with more than 1,000 of casualties. When compared to the June 1953 North Kyushu flood and Wakayama flood, the damage caused by Typhoon Tess was relatively mild but still destructive, with 86,398 houses are destroyed, 495,875 flooded houses, 318,657 hectares of damaged agricultural fields and 5,582 damaged ships.

The Coast Act
Storm surge damages caused by a large number of typhoons were interfering with Japan's post-war recovery, especially Typhoon Tess of 1953. The history of Japan's modern typhoon-induced coastal disaster prevention works began with Typhoon Tess and led to the enactment of the Coast Act in 1956.

title: Murnaghan–Nakayama rule

text:
In group theory, a branch of mathematics, the Murnaghan–Nakayama rule, named after Francis Murnaghan and Tadashi Nakayama, is a combinatorial method to compute irreducible character values of a symmetric group.
There are several generalizations of this rule beyond the representation theory of symmetric groups, but they are not covered here.

The irreducible characters of a group are of interest to mathematicians because they concisely summarize important information about the group, such as the dimensions of the vector spaces in which the elements of the group can be represented by linear transformations that “mix” all the dimensions. For many groups, calculating irreducible character values is very difficult; the existence of simple formulas is the exception rather than the rule.

The Murnaghan–Nakayama rule is a combinatorial rule for computing symmetric group character values χ using a particular kind of Young tableaux.
Here λ and ρ are both integer partitions of some integer n, the order of the symmetric group under consideration. The partition λ specifies the irreducible character, while the partition ρ specifies the conjugacy class on whose group elements the character is evaluated to produce the character value. The partitions are represented as weakly decreasing tuples; for example, two of the partitions of 8 are (5,2,1) and (3,3,1,1).

There are two versions of the Murnaghan-Nakayama rule, one non-recursive and one recursive.

Non-recursive version

Theorem:

where the sum is taken over the set BST(λ,ρ) of all border-strip tableaux of shape λ and type ρ.
That is, each tableau T is a tableau such that
 the k-th row of T has λk boxes
 the boxes of T are filled with integers, with the integer i appearing ρi times
 the integers in every row and column are weakly increasing
 the set of squares filled with the integer i form a border strip, that is, a connected skew-shape with no 2×2-square.

The height, ht(T), is the sum of the heights of the border strips in T. The height of a border strip is one less than the number of
rows it touches.

It follows from this theorem that the character values of a symmetric group are integers.

For some combinations of λ and ρ, there are no border-strip tableaux. In this case, there are no terms in the sum and therefore the character value is zero.

Example

Consider the calculation of one of the character values for the symmetric group of order 8, when λ is the partition (5,2,1) and ρ is the partition (3,3,1,1). The shape partition λ specifies that the tableau must have three rows, the first having 5 boxes, the second having 2 boxes, and the third having 1 box. The type partition ρ specifies that the tableau must be filled with three 1's, three 2's, one 3, and one 4. There are six such border-strip tableaux:

If we call these , , , , , and , then their heights are

and the character value is therefore

Recursive version

Theorem:

where the sum is taken over the set BS(λ,ρ1) of border strips within the Young diagram of shape λ that have ρ1 boxes and whose removal leaves a valid Young diagram. The notation  represents the partition that results from removing the border strip ξ from λ. The notation  represents the partition that results from removing the first element ρ1 from ρ.

Note that the right-hand side is a sum of characters for symmetric groups that have smaller order than that of the symmetric group we started with on the left-hand side. In other words, this version of the Murnaghan-Nakayama rule expresses a character of the symmetric group Sn in terms of the characters of smaller symmetric groups Sk with k<n.

Applying this rule recursively will result in a tree of character value evaluations for smaller and smaller partitions. Each branch stops for one of two reasons: Either there are no border strips of the required length within the reduced shape, so the sum on the right is zero, or a border strip occupying the entire reduced shape is removed, leaving a Young diagram with no boxes. At this point we are evaluating χ when both λ and ρ are the empty partition (), and the rule requires that this terminal case be defined as having character .

This recursive version of the Murnaghan-Nakayama rule is especially efficient for computer calculation when one computes character tables for Sk for increasing values of k and stores all of the previously computed character tables.

Example

We will again compute the character value with λ=(5,2,1) and ρ=(3,3,1,1).

To begin, consider the Young diagram with shape λ. Since the first part of ρ is 3, look for border strips that consist of 3 boxes. There are two possibilities:

In the first diagram, the border strip has height 0, and removing it produces the reduced shape (2,2,1). In the second diagram, the border strip has height 1, and removing it produces the reduced shape (5). Therefore, one has

,

expressing a character value of S8 in terms of two character values of S5.

Applying the rule again to both terms, one finds

and

,

reducing to a character value of S2.

Applying again, one finds

,

reducing to the only character value of S1.

A final application produces the terminal character :

Working backwards from this known character, the result is , as before.

text:
Captain Charles Wispington Glover Crawford, CBE (1873 – 16 October 1934) was a British Royal Navy officer who commanded the Devonport flotilla of motor torpedo boats. In his spare time, he was a noted philatelist. He signed the Roll of Distinguished Philatelists in 1934.

Naval career
Crawford was educated for a naval career and joined the  at Dartmouth in 1886. He became a midshipman on  in 1888 and later that same year joined  at Bermuda. In 1893 he became lieutenant, and in March 1900, he was posted as lieutenant and torpedo officer to the protected cruiser HMS Highflyer, flag ship of the East Indies Station. In the middle of 1902 he was promoted to first lieutenant, still serving on the Highflyer. He subsequently attained the rank of commander and in 1905 was given the command of a Royal Navy motor torpedo boat HMTB 107 launched in 1901. Crawford was also given command of the Devonport flotilla of the 160 footer torpedo boats.

He travelled widely and was in charge of wireless telegraphy in Somaliland in actions against  Diiriye Guure and Mohammed Abdullah Hassan, known as the "Mad Mullah" by the British, the emir of  Diiriye Guure. He retired in 1910 but was recalled to active service on the outbreak of the First World War. He was involved with the landing of the naval division at Dunkirk and the evacuation of Ostend for which he was mentioned in dispatches. In 1919, he was awarded the honour of being made a commander of the order of the British Empire in recognition of his work during the war.

Philately
Crawford first became interested in stamps as a boy and formed a collection with his step-father. During his naval career he often sent stamps home from the various ports that he visited. His philatelic interests were broad but he was a particular expert on the stamps of the Australian States and New Zealand. He was elected to the Royal Philatelic Society London in June 1918 and was a member of their Expert Committee. He was convenor of the Queensland Reference List Committee who were charged with reporting on the papers, perforations and plates of that territory.

Death
Crawford died at his home in Seaford on 16 October 1934 after having suffered two heart attacks in August of that year. He was buried at Morden Cemetery on 19 October and was survived by his wife.

CTF 75 is responsible for the planning and execution of coastal riverine operations, explosive ordnance disposal, diving, expeditionary logistics, engineering and construction, and underwater construction. Additionally, it provides direct support to salvage operations and expeditionary intelligence throughout the Indo-Pacific region as directed by 7th Fleet.

CTF 75 is permanently headquartered at Camp Covington, Guam.

Detachments
The following is a list of detachments under CTF 75 operational control:

History
For the landings on Hollandia during World War II, Task Force 75, then as now part of the Seventh Fleet, was made up of Phoenix, Nashville, Boise, and a number of destroyers, including Hutchins, Daly, and Abner Read.

During the Vietnam War, Task Force 75 was the Surface Combatant Force assigned to Seventh Fleet, responsible for the cruisers and destroyers that were not escorting aircraft carrier. Rear Admiral Rembrandt C. Robinson, at age 47, was Commander Cruiser Destroyer Flotilla Eleven and Commander, Cruiser Destroyer Group Vietnam, Seventh Fleet (CTF 75). Admiral Robinson was killed in a helicopter crash in the Gulf of Tonkin on May 8, 1972, during a late night landing approach to his flagship, the guided missile light cruiser . The Seventh Fleet's flagship used to be frequently a cruiser. This cruiser, for example USS Oklahoma City (CG-5), would be assigned the designation of Task Group 70.1 when acting as fleet flagship and also act as part of Task Force 75 when carrying out Naval gunfire support.

From 19 January to 22 January 1981,  and  (SSG-574) participated in ASWEX 81-3U off the coast of the Philippines, an exercise in shallow water ASW. The submarines opposed the transit of the oiler USNS Navasota (T-AO-106), which was escorted by the destroyers  (CTF 75 embarked) and , and frigates , , ,  and through the narrow straits.

title: County of Greenland, Denmark

text:
The County of Greenland () was an amt (county) of Denmark, comprising Greenland and its associated islands, before home rule was granted to Greenland.

History
In 1953 Greenland's colonial status ended with the establishment of the 1953 Danish constitution. When the colonial status ended, Greenland was incorporated into the Danish realm as an Amt (county) which gave Greenlanders Danish  citizenship, as a result of this, a change in Danish policies toward Greenland that consisted of a strategy of cultural assimilation. During this period, the Danish government promoted the exclusive use of Danish in official matters, and required Greenlanders to go to Denmark for their post-secondary education; many Greenlandic children grew up in boarding schools in southern Denmark, many losing their cultural ties to Greenland. The policy also backfired to produce a reassertion of Greenlandic cultural identity by the Greenlandic elite, leading to a movement in favour of independence that reached its peak in the 1970s; because of this, a further desire to establish the legality of Greenland's status formed in Denmark, resulting in the Home Rule Act of 1979, which gave Greenland limited autonomy with its own legislature taking control of some internal policies, while the Parliament of Denmark maintained full control of external policies, security, and natural resources. The law came into effect on 1 May 1979.

title: Military bands of the Bundeswehr

text:
There are 15 military bands of the Bundeswehr, including those of the German Army, Air Force, Navy, and joint bands. Before 2009, the military musicians of the Bundeswehr constituted a joint specialist service, the Military Music Service (), subordinate to the Armed Forces Office (). In 2009, as part of a larger reorganisation of the Bundeswehr, the organization of the Military Music Service was replaced by the new Military Music Center of the Bundeswehr () in Bonn, and several bands were disbanded. The bands of the Bundeswehr provide music for official ceremonies such as the Großer Zapfenstreich and the swearing-in of new recruits. In addition to their traditional military music repertoire, they perform concert band and light music, as well as genres such as jazz, rock, and pop.

Structure

The professional management of all the military bands of the Bundeswehr lies with the director of the Military Music Center of the Bundeswehr. Since 2016, Colonel Christoph Lieder has held this position. The individual bands may be subject to military divisions or regional commands as well.

Joint bands
There are four joint service bands in the Bundeswehr that are part of the Armed Forces Office, a component of the Joint Support Service. There also are two bands associated with military districts, which used to be Army bands. Although these bands primarily use German Army uniforms, they are not officially subordinate to the Army.

Army

In addition to the professional Army bands, there are several amateur marching bands made up of reservists.

Air Force

Navy

History

While the formation of the Bundeswehr was being prepared in the 1950s, then-Chancellor Konrad Adenauer is said to have placed great importance on the formation of military bands. He demanded at least one band be formed during the Bundeswehr's first year of existence; and, indeed, six bands were formed. The first band of the Bundeswehr was established on 2 January 1956, Musikkorps III A in Andernach (later Army Band 7). The bands of the Bundewehr have gone through many phases of reduction, growth and change since then. For some time each Army division had its own band (some of these bands, like the Gebirgsmusikkorps, survive today in some form), and the Navy and Air Force have had more than their current two bands for most of their history. These serve as the link of the armed forces to the long years of the German military music tradition.

As a general rule the Armeemarschsammlung forms part of the band repertory music, which include ceremonial marches for parades.

Personnel

The enlisted personnel of Bundeswehr bands are drawn from those who initially volunteer for two years of service in the Bundeswehr (and formerly conscripts). Unteroffiziere (junior NCOs) used to be allowed to enlist for a minimum of four years. Feldwebel (senior NCOs) enlist for a minimum of twelve years of service, including a four-year undergraduate degree in music at the Robert Schumann Hochschule. Commissioned officers earn a Diplom degree as Kapellmeisters and commit to a minimum of fifteen years of service. Senior NCOs and commissioned officers go through their advanced training as members of the Training Band of the Bundeswehr.

In the case of war, military musicians will serve in the Joint Medical Service. In addition to musical training, every musician receives some form of medical training, including study at the Medical Academy of the Bundeswehr () for senior personnel.

title: Saratoga lake houses

text:
The Saratoga lake houses were a group of nightclubs operating in the vicinity of Lake Lonely on the east side of Saratoga Springs, New York from the 1920s until the early 1950s.  They offered fine dining and top quality entertainment along with illegal liquor during prohibition and illegal gambling.

Although there were many speakeasies in Saratoga Springs during this period, six were well known as "lake houses": The Arrowhead Inn, Riley's Lake House, The Piping Rock Club, Newman's Lake House,The Meadow Brook (earlier Mayfair), and Smith's Interlaken.

Origins
During the 1800s establishments known as "lake houses" surrounded Saratoga Lake, offering fine dining in a country atmosphere a short excursion out of town.  Many advertised "Fish and Game Dinners", and featured fish caught in Saratoga Lake and cooked immediately.  Moon's Lake House, the reputed site of the invention of the potato chip is the most well known, but there were Myers Lake House, Avery's Lake House, and Crum's Place and the White Sulphur Spring Hotel at the south end of the lake.

In the mid-1800s John Morrissey opened the Saratoga Race Course in 1863. In 1866 he opened the Saratoga Clubhouse downtown, offering high-stakes gambling for the town's fashionable visitors.  The clubhouse was later bought by Richard Canfield and was expanded to today's Canfield Casino.  However, in 1907 Saratoga Springs banned gambling in the city and the casino was closed.

Prohibition
In 1920 the Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution went into effect prohibiting the manufacture, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages. Saratoga Springs soon became a center for bootlegging between Canada and Albany. "Bootleggers shipping booze from Canada passed through the city. And the roadside inns around its outskirts were ideal places to make stops."

Enterprising criminals, sensing an opportunity, quickly opened so-called carpet joints, which combined gambling, illegal liquor, fine dining and entertainment.  The mobsters usually kept their involvement second- or third-hand, operating through local associates.
One such was Louis J. "Doc" Farone, later convicted of "operation of three gambling houses in Saratoga Springs — (1) Riley's Lake House, (2) The Brook [i.e. Meadowbrook] and (3) Smith's Interlaken.
...
although defendant was not the record holder of title to any of the three houses, he nevertheless held a beneficial interest in and controlled all of them"

The clubs were open mostly in the summer from June until the close of the month-long Saratoga Race Meeting around the end of August. They featured entertainers such as Bing Crosby, Desi Arnaz, Jimmy Durante, Claudette Colbert, and Sophie Tucker.

Although illegal the clubs received considerable support from local police and politicians.  Off-duty police often worked security at the clubs, and police were frequently called to accompany transfers of money from the clubs to the bank. In 1952 Saratoga County Republican Chairman James Leary was indicted for perjury as a result of a gambling investigation. County Democratic chairman and former Saratoga Springs Public Safety Commissioner Arthur Leonard was indicted for conspiracy and bribery. Both men later had the charges dismissed.

The clubs

The Brook Club
The first carpet joint in Saratoga Springs was The Brook Club, opened by gambler Arnold Rothstein in 1921. Rothstein is better known for fixing the 1919 World Series in the so-called Black Sox Scandal. Although not a "lake house"—The Brook Club was the former "Bonnie Brook" estate of George Saportas on Church Street on the west side of Saratoga Springs—this became the prototype of the later operations in the city and elsewhere.  The Brook was managed by Nat Evans (or Evens, b. Nathaniel Evensky), a Rothstein associate who also worked with him on the World Series fix.  In 1925 Evans bought Rothstein's share of the club. The Brook Club burned in 1934.

The Brook Club should not be confused with the Meadowbrook (see below) near Saratoga Lake which was sometimes later called The Brook.

Arrowhead Inn

The Arrowhead was located on Arrowhead Road, off Crescent Avenue, near Saratoga Lake. It closed in 1949 and burned September 1969.

Meadowbrook
The Mayfair, later the Meadowbrook or simply "The Brook", opened June 29, 1934 on Union Avenue across from the Piping Rock.  It burned in 1959.

Newman's Lake House

John and Gerald King started Newman's Lake House on Crescent Avenue on the site of a converted inn with a dining room that could seat 500.  Newman's was renamed McGarrigle's in 1968.
Also as The College Inn in 1969, 1970, it was a great place to party.

Piping Rock Club

The Piping Rock was located on the north side of Union Avenue near Saratoga Lake, Meyer Lansky, Frank Costello—operator of New York's Copacabana nightclub—and Joe Adonis opened the Piping Rock Club in the early 1930s.  At one time the Piping Rock had "12 roulette wheels, three craps tables, one card table and a bird cage. The Piping Rock burned in 1954 under suspicious circumstances.

Riley's Lake House

Riley's was located on the south shore of Lake Lonely. It was originally opened in 1886 by James H. Riley, noted as a champion rower.  In 1923 it was sold to Matthew J. "Matty" Dunn, a noted New York nightclub owner.  In 1925 a raid found that Riley's had "nearly 100 tables, a large orchestra and thirty negro waiters."  In 1931 Riley's burned and was sold in 1932 to "Doc" Farone who rebuilt it, and renovated it in art deco style between 1934 and 1936. Dunn continued to lease Riley's until 1938. Riley's closed in 1942.

In August 1984 Riley's Lake House was reopened for one night for a benefit dinner-dance, An Evening in Old Saratoga, to benefit multiple-sclerosis research."

In 1996 the contents of Riley's Lake House were auctioned off and the building demolished.

Smith's Interlaken
The Interlaken opened in 1939. It sported a small lunch counter and a large casino.  It went out of business and was auctioned off in August 1940 and burned in 1970.

The end
In 1950 the Kefauver Committee initiated a campaign against organized crime and illegal gambling.  The Committee hearings forced Saratoga Springs' city government to finally take action.

In 1951 "Doc" Farone was indicted on gambling charges.

in 1953 Gerard King, operator of Newman's Lake House, pleaded guilty to gambling and conspiracy charges.

Meyer Lansky served a few months in Saratoga County Jail for gambling, his first jail sentence.

Organized crime moved its gambling operations to Havana, Cuba until the revolution, and later to Las Vegas.

The end of gambling spelled the end for the lake houses. In 1956 Frank Sullivan wrote in a piece for Sports Illustrated:
