# Gordon Stephenson
**Gordon Stephenson** (6 June 1908 -- 30 March 1997) was a British-born town planner and architect. He is best known for his role in shaping the modern growth and development of Perth, Western Australia.
## Biography
Gordon Stephenson was born in 1908. He studied architecture at the University of Liverpool, graduating in 1930. Following this, he studied at the University of Paris, and during this time worked in the atelier of Le Corbusier.
### Early career {#early_career}
His early career included working with Patrick Abercrombie on the Greater London Plan. Along with Peter Shepheard, he created an influential design for Stevenage, the first post-war British new town, which incorporated a pedestrianised town centre.
In 1953, he was commissioned by the state government of Western Australia to produce a plan for the metropolitan area of Perth and Fremantle. The resulting 1955 *Plan for the Metropolitan Region* was co-authored with Alistair Hepburn, and is commonly known as the \"Stephenson-Hepburn Report\". It included an atlas of maps which laid down a broad pattern of future land uses including highways and open space, and catered for significant additional population growth.
The report formed the basis for the 1963 Metropolitan Region Scheme for Perth and Fremantle, a legal instrument for regulating land-use and development in the urban area. It remained the overarching strategic plan for the development of Perth until it was succeeded by the *Corridor Plan for Perth* in 1970.
### Later career {#later_career}
In 1953 he returned to the UK to take up the Chair of Civic Design at the University of Liverpool and, following his work in Perth, he was employed variously as a consultant planner and academic in New Zealand, Canada, and America. In Halifax, Canada, he is known for his 1957 plan to redevelop the entire downtown core as well as the forceful eviction of Africville, a historically black neighborhood. He subsequently returned to Perth and continued to play an important role in its development, amongst other things crafting plans for Joondalup and Midland regional centres, and for the campus of Murdoch University.
In later life, he authored several books. He died on 30 March 1997.
### Personal life and collaboration with Flora Crockett {#personal_life_and_collaboration_with_flora_crockett}
In 1938, Stephenson married New Jersey-born Flora Bartlett Crockett (1914-1979). She had been one of the first two women to graduate in City Planning from MIT, in 1937. The two collaborated on published work and research thereafter. Gerald Dix writes of Crockett: \"She was an immense support and a sound professional collaborator upon whose judgement her relied in much of his work for 40 years. It was a great blow to him when she died in 1979.\" The Stephensons had three daughters: Gail, Sarah and Ann.
### Legacy
Following his death in 1997, the Western Australian Minister for Planning acknowledged Stephenson\'s contributions to the development of the state, and his vision as providing the blueprint for the growth of the metropolitan region since 1963. Stephenson Avenue in Perth\'s western suburbs is named in his honour.
On 28 August 2011, the WA State Government announced that the recently completed building informally known as one40william would be renamed Gordon Stephenson House.
The Planning Department at the University of Liverpool is located in the Gordon Stephenson Building.

# Cophasing
In astronomy, the term **cophasing** or **phasing** describes the process of controlling the individual segments in a segmented mirror or a telescope so that the segments form a larger composite mirroring surface. Cophasing implies precise, active control of three degrees of freedom of each individual segment mirror: translation along the optical axis (piston) and rotation about two axes perpendicular to the optical axis (tip-tilt).
Each segment of the segmented telescope is a solid body having 6 degrees of freedom exposed to the gravitation force, wind blowing, and other mechanical forces. If the position of each segment is not controlled the resolution of the whole telescope will be the same as if telescope had the diameter equal to the size of one segment. To achieve a resolution commensurable with that of a monolithic telescope of the same diameter the segmented surface must be controlled with a precision better than $\lambda/40$ surface rms.
Projects for future extremely large telescopes (ELTs) generally depend on the use of a segmented primary mirror. While the basic technologies required for segmented telescopes have been demonstrated for the 10m Keck telescope or GTC telescope, ELTs of diameters form 50 to 100 m represent a qualitative change with respect to wave front control related to segmentation in comparison with the current 10 meters technology

# Albbruck
**Albbruck** is a municipality of the district of Waldshut in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is on the southwestern border of Germany with Switzerland.
## History
In 1805 during the process of German mediatisation, a restructuring of certain jurisdictions, Albbruck became a possession of the Grand Duchy of Baden. In 1939, the town was assigned to the district of Waldshut. Through much of this period, it was rural and agricultural.
Decades after World War II, beginning in the 1970s, Albbruck underwent a period of growth. Residential areas were developed on the west side of the town and commercial space to its north. A new town hall was constructed in 1973. The municipality also grew in geographic area in that period, adding Birkingen, Buch, and Unteralpfen with Albbruck on 1 January 1975. A new town center was completed in 2000.
## Geography
The municipality (*Gemeinde*) of Albbruck lies at the southern edge of the district of Waldshut in Baden-Württemberg, a state of the Federal Republic of Germany. It lies along the High Rhine and the national border with Switzerland, and extends from there north into the Hotzenwald.
The municipality is crossed by the chine valleys of the Mühlbach and Alb rivers. Mühlbach valley of the former is a Federally-protected nature reserve and the latter forms part of the municipality\'s northwest border. Elevation above sea level in the municipal area ranges from a high of 729 m Normalnull (NN) in the Hotzenwald to a low of about 300 m on the Rhine.
## Coat of arms {#coat_of_arms}
Albbruck\'s coat of arms depicts a blue river crossed by a bridge of red masonry, from which two fir trees grow, over a field of white. This pattern was first used in seals from the late 19th century, but was approved for official use by the Federal Ministry of the Interior on 2 November 1956. The pattern was again approved, this time by the Waldshut district office, on 13 May 1977, following the absorption of Birkingen, Buch, and Unteralpfen into Albbruck. The river on the shield is the Alb, a tributary of the High Rhine; their confluence is located in the town. The two trees are from the arms of the County of Hauenstein.
## Twin towns {#twin_towns}
Albbruck has been twinned with Carmignano di Brenta, Italy, since 1959.
## Transportation
Albbruck is connected to Germany\'s network of Federal highways by Bundesstraße 34. The High Rhine Railway also passes through the municipality. Traffic into Switzerland from Albbruck is made possible by the Albbruck-Dogern hydroelectric power station, in operation since 1933

## History
The colonization of today\'s municipal area began in late 11th century with deforestation and construction of courts by lay brothers of the monastery of St. Blasien. The first mention was made in 1157 at the inauguration of a chapel in the district court. With the secularization of the monastery St. Blasien 1806, the centuries-old monastery rule while the membership ended on Front Austria, the place came to the newly created Grand Duchy of Baden.
1922 built the church together with the wooden goods works Präg GmbH in Präg the E-Werk Wacht, which then supplied the wood works and all residents of the community with electric energy. 1934 four independent municipalities of Bernauer valley, Bernau-Innerlehen (with Riggenbach and Schwendele), Hof, Bernau-Dorf with Goldbach and Bernau-Except feudal united (with the Imperial House, Altenrond, Oberlehen, Gass, Unterlehen and Weierle) to the community Bernau. Since then the town was essentially unchanged, using the Baden-Württemberg territorial reform in the 1970s away. The renaming in *Bernau im Schwarzwald* was carried out on 1 January 1999. ^\[4\]^

## Economy and infrastructure {#economy_and_infrastructure}
Traditionally, lived Bernauer of the country - and forestry and wood processing. Especially the wood carving has a long tradition. Manufactured were mainly in the winter months at first commodities like cooking spoons, wooden vessels, chip baskets and boxes. Later, wooden toys and craft items were added.
The sometimes extreme and erosion-prone hillsides made agriculture difficult, low yields and virtually non-mechanized. So already sat early in the 1930s, the structural transformation a, which after the Second World War strengthened continued - away from agriculture and towards tourism. The snow-sure location of the Black Forest allows almost year-round tourist season. 1960 was the first ski lift put into operation today (2006) there are six lifts, including two floodlit and four with snowmaking facilities.

# GARUDA
**GARUDA**(**G**lobal **A**ccess to **R**esource **U**sing **D**istributed **A**rchitecture) is India\'s Grid Computing initiative`{{when|date=July 2019}}`{=mediawiki} connecting 17 cities across the country. The 45 participating institutes in this nationwide project include all the IITs and C-DAC centers and other major institutes in India.
GARUDA is a collaboration of science researchers and experimenters on a nationwide grid of computational nodes, mass storage and scientific instruments that aims to provide the technological advances required to enable data and compute intensive science for the 21st century. One of GARUDA\'s most important challenges is to strike the right balance between research and the daunting task of deploying that innovation into some of the most complex scientific and engineering endeavors being undertaken today.
The Department of Information Technology (DIT), Government of India has funded the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) to deploy the nationwide computational grid GARUDA. In Proof of Concept (PoC) phase which ended in March 2008, 17 cities across the country were connected with an aim to bring "Grid" networked computing to research labs and industry. From April 2008 the Foundation phase is in progress with an aim to include more users' applications, providing Service Oriented architecture, improving network stability and upgrading grid resources. GARUDA will assist to accelerate India\'s drive to turn its substantial research investment into tangible economic benefits.
The Main Monitoring Centre also called the Garuda Monitoring and Management Centre is set up at C-DAC Knowledge Park, Bangalore. From this point, the whole grid which has now extended even into Europe is Monitored and Managed by C-DAC\'s young scientists. In India, GARUDA uses National Knowledge Network as network backbone.
## Grid Middleware {#grid_middleware}
GARUDA has adopted a pragmatic approach for using existing Grid infrastructure and Web Services technologies. The deployment of grid tools and services for GARUDA will be based on a judicious mix of in-house developed components, the Globus Toolkit (GT), industry grade & open source components. The Foundation phase GARUDA will be based on stable version of GT4. The resource management and scheduling in GARUDA is based on a deployment of industry grade schedulers in a hierarchical architecture. At the cluster level, scheduling is achieved through Load Leveler for AIX platforms and Torque for Linux clusters.
## Grid Access Methods {#grid_access_methods}
The GARUDA portal which provides the user interface to the Grid resources hides the complexity of the Grid from the users. It allows submission of both sequential and parallel jobs and also provides job accounting facilities. Problem Solving Environment (PSE) in the domains of Bio-informatics, and Community Atmospheric Model support the entire cycle of problem solving for the specific domains by supporting problem formulation, algorithm selection, numerical simulation and solution visualization

# Dettighofen, Baden-Württemberg
**Dettighofen** is a village and municipality in the district of Waldshut in Baden-Württemberg in Germany.
## History
From 1840 until 1935, the original territory of Dettighofen, along with Jestetten, Lottstetten and Altenburg, was part of the region which formed a customs exclusion zone and was not part of the German customs area. Inhabitants were able to offer their produce to the rest of Germany as well as to Switzerland. This situation brought about a higher standard of living and prosperity compared to the rest of Germany.
In 1927 the hamlet Häuserhof which had been part of neighbouring Weisweil, became part of Dettighofen as did the hamlet Eichberg which until that year had been part of Bühl.
On 1 April 1936 the hamlet Albführen became part of the municipality of Dettighofen.
On 1 January 1974 the municipalities of Berwangen and Baltersweil merged to become part of Dettighofen.
## Geography
Dettighofen is located close to the Swiss border. Switzerland lies both to the north, by way of the Canton of Schaffhausen whilst to the south lies Canton Zurich. To the east lies Jestetten

# Not for Kids Only
***Not for Kids Only*** is an album of children\'s songs released by Jerry Garcia and David Grisman. Most of the songs come from the Southeast region of the United States. It was released by Acoustic Disc.
The song \"Jenny Jenkins\" is featured in the 2015 compilation album *This Record Belongs To\...*.
## Critical reception {#critical_reception}
On AllMusic, Lindsay Planer said, \"*Not for Kids Only* (1993) is an album of folkie standards and traditional tunes\... The obvious kinship between the musicians radiates throughout every track as their moods alternate between light and silly \"There Ain\'t No Bugs on Me\" to the darker-edged \"When First Unto This Country\"\.... One of the most endearing cuts is the comedic dialogue between Garcia and Grisman on \"Arkansas Traveller\".\"
In *The Music Box*, John Metzger wrote, \"\[In the early-to-mid 1990s Jerry Garcia\] managed to find time to reconnect with old pal David Grisman for a series of recording projects, jam sessions, and occasional concert performances. The second album spawned from this fruitful collaboration was the lighthearted *Not for Kids Only*. As the title suggests, one need not have children to enjoy this collection of traditional tunes and folk standards.\"

# Görwihl
**Görwihl** is a municipality in the district of Waldshut in Baden-Württemberg in Germany.
## History
The name is derived from the ancient German for spear, due to the spearhead shape of the area at the time.
Görwihl was established in 1193, and was first recorded as *Gerswillare*. Like many places in the region, Görwihl belonged to the county Hauenstein within Further Austria. It became the centre of legal activity for the region and played a role in the peasants\' uprising. In 1806, Görwihl became part of the newly created Grand Duchy of Baden.
The community in its present scale was developed in the context of Baden-Wurttemberg regional reform. Rotzingen joined the municipality of Görwihl in 1971 and Hartschwand in 1972, with the other districts following in 1975.
## Geography
Görwihl is within the Hotzenwald region, and lies in the southernmost part of the Black Forest, at the edge of the River Alb, a tributary of the Rhine. The landscape of the region is characterized by high plateaus of various sizes, the stepped terraces descending toward the south. About 60% of the area within the town boundary consists of forest.
The community is bordered to the north by Ibach, on the east by Albbruck, in the south by the city of Laufenburg and on the west by Rickenbach and Herrischried

# Vladislaus III of Moravia
**Vladislaus III**, also called **Vladislaus Henry III** (c. 1227 -- 3 January 1247), was the margrave of Moravia and duke of Austria from 1246 until 1247.
Vladislaus was born around 1227. A member of the Přemyslid dynasty, he was the eldest son and heir of Wenceslaus I, King of Bohemia, and his wife Kunigunde, daughter of Philip of Swabia, King of Germany. His younger brother was the latter King Ottokar II. He was named after his uncle and great uncle, who were also margraves of Moravia. When his other uncle, Přemysl, died in 1239, Wenceslaus took control of Moravia. In 1246, he appointed Vladislaus margrave. Pope Innocent IV wrote a letter to Vladislaus on 24 November 1246 concerning the activity of the papal collector Gotfryd.
As Duke Frederick II of Austria was without a male heir, Wenceslaus sought to acquire the Duchy of Austria by arranging the marriage of Vladislaus with the late duke\'s niece Gertrude, daughter of Duke Henry II of Mödling, second son of Duke Leopold VI of Austria. Frederick was forced to consent to this arrangement under duress. In 1246, however, Frederick reneged, alleging that the couple was related within the prohibited degree. Wenceslaus obtained a dispensation from the pope. The wedding took place after Frederick\'s death later that year. He was recognized as duke and is so titled in contemporary Austrian sources. He received the homage of the Austrian nobility, but died suddenly on 3 January 1247, before he could take possession of the duchy. His death was most likely natural. He had no children in his short marriage. According to the *Anonymous Austrian Chronicle*: `{{Verse translation

# Klettgau
**Klettgau** (High Alemannic: *Chleggau*) is a municipality in the district of Waldshut in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is the center of the *Klettgau* historical region stretching across the Swiss border into the cantons of Aargau, Schaffhausen, and Zürich.
The municipal area includes the villages of Bühl, Erzingen, Geißlingen, Grießen, Rechberg, Riedern am Sand, and Weisweil.
## Geography
Klettgau is located on the Klingengraben and Schwarzbach rivers. In the east, it borders the Swiss municipalities of Trasadingen, Wilchingen and Wasterkingen. The neighbouring German municipalities are Wutöschingen, Lauchringen, Küssaberg, and Hohentengen am Hochrhein in the west, as well as Dettighofen in the east. There is a border crossing into Switzerland on the road from Erzingen to Trasadingen.
The municipal area comprises the villages of Bühl, Erzingen, Geißlingen, Grießen, Rechberg, Riedern am Sand, and Weisweil. Erzingen, Bühl, and Riedern am Sand are part of the Baden wine region.
## History
Erzingen was already mentioned as *villa Arcingen* in an 876 deed, a Swabian possession held by the Benedictie abbey of Rheinau. In 1486 it was occupied by the forces of the Old Swiss Confederacy on a campaign into the Landgraviate of Klettgau. The immediate landgraviate was inherited by the House of Schwarzenberg in 1687 with their residence in Tiengen, and it was elevated to a principality by Emperor Leopold I in 1694. After the Schwarzenberg landgraviate was mediatised in 1806, the lordship fell to the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1812.
The present-day municipality was established in a 1971 administrative reform. Bühl and Geißlingen were incorporated in 1975.
## Habsburg Rule {#habsburg_rule}
The House of Habsburg likely began to rule over the County of Klettgau when Radbot inherited it. He ended up reigning over Klettgau from 991-1045, when he was then succeeded by his son, Werner I, who reigned over Klettgau from 1045 to 1096. Otto II reigned over it after his father died, later he was the first person to become a count of Habsburg, he ruled Klettgau from 1096 to 1111. His son Werner II, who ruled over Klettgau from 1111 to 1167 would inherit. Werner was succeeded by Albert \'the Rich\', (1167-1199) he was succeeded by Rudolf II. (1199-1232) He was then succeeded by Albert IV (1232-1239) Albert was then succeeded by the soon-to-be King of Germany; Rudolf I Before becoming king, Rudolf was titled Rudolf IV, Count of Habsburg. However, he would not stay a count, Rudolf was later elected king of the Germans in 1273 Rudolf later died in 1291. Rudolf was succeeded by his son, Albert I (1291-1308), who soon after inheriting the land of Klettgau from his father, would become King of Germany. His son Albert II became the first Habsburg Duke of Austria (1308-1358). His successor Rudolf IV (1358-1386) inherited the title of Klettgau. Albert II\'s son Leopold III (1365-1386) inherited Rudolf\'s titles after his death in 1365. During his later reign, he lost Klettgau and other Swiss holdings, as well as his life in the Battle of Sempach which took place in 1386. The death of Leopold III was followed by Switzerland taking all of his holdings in the region including Klettgau, but later the Swiss agreed to give the lands north of the modern Swiss border to the Habsburgs during the treaty. but Klettgau was under Swiss Influence so this is counted as the end.

# Juggling ring
**Juggling rings**, or simply \"**rings**\", are a popular prop used by jugglers, usually in sets of three or more, or in combination with other props such as balls or clubs. The rings used by jugglers are typically about 30 cm in diameter and 3 mm thick.
Juggling rings are easier to juggle than clubs, but harder than balls due to size and throwing mechanics. Because of rings\' impressive appearance for their level of difficulty, they remain a popular juggling item.
## Use in juggling {#use_in_juggling}
When juggled, rings are typically spun about their central axis. The resulting gyroscopic motion of the ring allows it to keep the same orientation after it is thrown. This property is utilized by performers to achieve various visual effects. For example, a performer might intentionally juggle some rings with the broad side to the audience and some others with the edge to the audience.
As with balls and clubs, the most basic patterns of ring juggling are the cascade and fountain. In these patterns, the left and right hands alternate throwing rings at approximately the same height. Some ball and club tricks can also be performed with rings, but their unique shape and spinning abilities result in a different visual effect.
Several patterns and tricks are unique to rings. For example, a spinning ring oriented vertically can be cradled and spun on a ring that is held horizontally. Rings can be spun along different axes resulting in a trick called \"pancake flips.\" \"Color change\" involves rings colored differently on both sides, the performers catch the ring hand facing up and then throw the ring with the hand facing down, giving the appearance that the ring has changed. One of the most common tricks unique to rings is the \"pull down.\" In this trick, usually used at the end of a performance routine, each of the rings is caught and placed over the performers neck in sequence.
Because of their thinness, light weight, and relative ease of collecting, rings are often used for juggling high numbers of props. Jugglers often wear gloves or other protection when juggling more than four rings, as the height of the pattern, thin cross-section and hard plastic of rings can act like blades and lead to chafing.
## In passing {#in_passing}
It is possible, but not the norm, to pass rings in basic patterns such as four count and solids; for example, in the Cirque du Soleil production *Corteo*, the jugglers passed with multiple rings.
Since rings are circularly symmetric, two or more jugglers can rotate each ring by any degree around its axis of symmetry, thus resulting in a throw and catch that is independent of the number of turns the ring makes around its axis of symmetry. This contrasts with club juggling, which when passed in a normal passing pattern, do not rotate around their axis of symmetry.
## Records
The record for the most juggling rings juggled (where each prop is thrown and caught at least twice) is ten rings for forty-seven catches, by Anthony Gatto in 2006. The record for the most juggling rings flashed (where each prop is thrown and caught once in original cascade pattern) is 13 rings by Danil Lysenko in 2024

# Girolamo Marchesi
**Girolamo Marchesi** (c. 1471 -- 1550) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance period.
Born in Cotignola, whence his nickname of *Girolamo da Cotignola*, he trained early on with Francesco Francia in Bologna, then in Rome under Raphael. He then traveled to Naples where he was patronized by the Florentine merchant Tommaso Cambi. According to Giorgio Vasari, he married a woman of ill repute there.
In Ferrara he left an *Adoration of the Magi*, and in the church of Santa Maria in Vado, a painting of two saints (1518). He painted with Biagio Pappini in San Michele in Bosco in Bologna. In Rimini, he painted with Benedetto Coda and Lattanzio della Marca, but the location and fate of those paintings can is unknown. He also painted in Forlì and Pesaro. In the Pinacoteca Civica di Forlì there are: *La Madonna con il Bambino tra due angeli, San Mercuriale, il Battista e il committente* (or *Pala Orsi*) and *Portrait of a man*. His *Entombment of Christ* is today part of the collections of the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille. In Naples, he worked in San Aniello and in Monte Oliveto

***Amanita altipes***, also called the **yellow long-stem amanita**, is a species of agaric fungus found in coniferous woodlands in southwestern China.
## Description
*Amanita altipes* is a small to medium-sized agaric with a distinctively yellowish overall coloration. The cap has a diameter of up to 9 cm and is yellow, often brownish towards the centre. The appearance of the cap may be convex to plano-convex. The volva is present as felty, floccose patches, 2--5 mm wide and up to 1 mm thick. Unlike many of its relatives (e.g. *A. pantherina*), the remnants of the universal veil do not usually persist on the cap, being easily washed away by rain. The yellowish stipe is relatively long (up to 16 cm), and usually tapers upwards. There is a large, persistent ring. The gills are free, crowded, and white to cream-colored to yellowish. The short gills (lamellulae) are truncate, numerous, and are evenly distributed. The spores measure 8.0--10.0 by 7.5--9.5 μm and are spherical (or nearly so) and inamyloid. There are no clamps present at the bases of basidia. The flesh is white in color and inedible.
## Etymology
The specific epithet *altipes* means \"referring to the long stipe\", and it suits the species as it has a longer stipe compared to its relatives.
## Distribution and habitat {#distribution_and_habitat}
This species is widespread in southwestern China, mostly in Yunnan. It has also been reported that it is found in eastern Himalayas and adjacent regions. It grows on soil in coniferous (*Abies*, *Picea*) and broadleaved (*Betula*, *Quercus*, *Salix*) woodland in southwestern China up to an altitude of 4000 m

# Robert Bruce (trader)
**Robert Bruce** (1789--1824) was a Scottish arms trader and mercenary soldier on the north-east frontier of India. He took steps towards the introduction of tea plantations in Assam in the 1820s.
## Life
In early life, Bruce was a naval officer. In 1823 a despatch described Bruce as Indian-born. This was doubted, however, by Edward Albert Gait, who mentioned his brother, Charles Alexander Bruce, and his 1809 voyage to India. According to the *Dictionary of Indian Biography*, Charles Alexander Bruce was born in Assam, at Jorhat. Robert Bruce was resident at Jogighopa.
In 1821, during the Burmese invasions of Assam, Bruce involved himself in the affairs of the Ahom Kingdom. Having helped the deposed Purandar Singha muster and equip an army in the Dooars, with the help of the East India Company, he led it into Ahom in May of that year, against Chandrakanta Singha. Suffering a defeat, he was taken prisoner. He then agreed to support Chandrakanta Singha, against the Burmese forces of the Konbaung dynasty, who was regrouping in the Goalpara district. With guns and ammunition supplied through Bruce, Chandrakanta Singha took back Guwahati at the beginning of 1822.
Robert Bruce is buried in the cemetery in Tezpur town.
## Tea in Assam {#tea_in_assam}
Bruce learned from Maniram Dewan that the Singpho people grew tea, which was then not generally known. In 1823, while trading at Garhgaon, he encountered a Singpho chief, who was willing to supply him with botanical tea samples. The chief was [Bisa Gam](https://namsai.nic.in/history/). Bruce died soon after, in 1824.
The samples found their way to Charles Alexander Bruce, and then to David Scom

# Gyromax
`{{No sources|date=August 2024}}`{=mediawiki} The **Gyromax** is the trade name for an adjustable mass (or adjustable inertia) balance wheel used in Patek Philippe wristwatches. Instead of weight adjustment screws on the outside of the rim, as in traditional balances, the Gyromax has turnable weights recessed into the top of the rim. The advantages claimed for this design are that, without projecting weight screws, the diameter of the balance can be increased, giving it a larger moment of inertia, and that it has less air resistance.
The Gyromax balance has six to eight small turnable weights that fit on pins located in recesses around the top of the balance wheel rim. Each of the weights, called *collets*, has a cutout making it heavier on one side. When the collet\'s cutout points to the outside of the balance wheel, the heavier side is toward the center which decreases the wheel\'s moment of inertia, increasing its speed. When the collet\'s cutout points toward the center, the weight moves outward and the balance wheel turns more slowly. A watchmaker can turn an individual collet to adjust the wheel\'s balance, referred to as \'poise\', or pairs of opposing collets to adjust the wheel\'s rotation speed. The Gyromax is a \'free sprung\' balance, meaning there is no regulator on the wheel\'s balance spring for adjusting the watch\'s rate, so the collets are used for adjusting both poise and rate.
Swiss patents were granted to Patek Phillipe for the Gyromax balance on May 15, 1949 and December 31, 1951, and the balance was first used in watches in 1952. Another balance wheel with a similar design is the Rolex Microstella

# Lymnaeidae
**Lymnaeidae**, common name the **pond snails**, is a taxonomic family of small to large air-breathing freshwater snails, aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusks, that belong to the clade Hygrophila.
Lymnaeidae is the only family within the superfamily **Lymnaeoidea** (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).
## Taxonomy
### 2005 taxonomy {#taxonomy_1}
Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) recognized four subfamilies within Lymnaeidae:
- subfamily Lymnaeinae Rafinesque, 1815 - synonyms: Amphipepleinae Pini, 1877; Limnophysidae W. Dybowski, 1903; Acellinae Hannibal, 1912; Fossariinae B. Dybowski 1913
- subfamily Lancinae Hannibal, 1914
- † subfamily Scalaxinae Zilch, 1959
- † subfamily Valencieniinae Kramberger-Gorjanovic, 1923 - synonym: Clivunellidae Kochansky-Devidé & Sliskovic, 1972
### 2013 taxonomy {#taxonomy_2}
Vinarski (2013) established a new subfamily Radicinae within Lymnaeidae, but be considered position neither of Lancinae nor of extinct genera.
- subfamily Radicinae Vinarski, 2013
## Cladogram
Correa et al. (2010) examined phylogenetic relationships among 50 taxa of this family using a supermatrix approach (concatenation of the 16S, internal transcribed spacers ITS1 and ITS2 genes) involving both maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference. Her phylogenetic analysis demonstrates the existence of three deep clades of Lymnaeidae representing the main geographic origin of species (America, Eurasia and the Indo-Pacific region). It demonstrates that the nomenclature of most genera in the Lymnaeidae does not reflect evolutionary relationships.
A cladogram based on sequences of 16S, internal transcribed spacers ITS1 and ITS2 genes showing phylogenic relations of Lymnaeidae by Correa et al. (2010):
The nomenclature of genera has been one of the most confusing issues in the Lymnaeidae systematics. Most genus names are not fixed and are based more on phenotypic resemblances than on sound evolutionary and phylogenetic considerations. For instance, a single genus in Lymnaeidae was recognized by Walter (1968), two by Hubendick (1951), and up to 34 genera by others. Results by Correa et al. (2010) indicate that genera in Lymnaeidae do not reflect phylogenetic relationships, to the notable exception of *Radix* (including *Radix natalensis*).
The type species of *Lymnaea* is *Lymnaea stagnalis* Linnaeus, 1758; the type species of *Stagnicola* Jeffreys, 1830 is *Stagnicola palustris* (= *Lymnaea palustris*); and the type species of *Omphiscola* Rafinesque, 1819 is *Omphiscola glabra*. However, it is clear that these three species belong to the same clade (C2) and that *Lymnaea* is not a monophyletic group. Correa et al. (2010) proposed that species of clade C2 should all be called *Lymnaea*, according to the principle of priority of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN). By extension, *Stagnicola* should not be used to name species in clade C1a since the type species belongs to clade C2. Meier-Brook & Bargues (2002) suggested including *Stagnicola emarginata*, *Stagnicola elodes*, *Stagnicola catascopium* and *Lymnaea occulta* within a new genus *Catascopia*, while *Stagnicla caperata* would belong to the genus *Hinkleyia* Baker, 1928. The phylogeny by Correa et al. (2010) does not conflict with this nomenclature, although it would seem preferable to identify all species of clade C1a with the same name to reflect the close evolutionary relationships among these species. *Hinkleyia* would be the preferable name according to the ICZN. On the other hand, at least four genera names have been used for species of clade C1b: *Lymnaea* Lamarck, 1799; *Galba* Schrank, 1803; *Fossaria* Westerlund, 1885; and *Bakerilymnaea*. In the light of the present results, it would be preferable to unify nomenclature. According to the ICZN, *Lymnaea* should be the unified name, but given that the type species belongs to clade C2, *Galba* could be a more appropriate name. Finally, as said above, *Austropeplea* Cotton, 1942 is not a monophyletic group, and employing the genus *Kutikina* Ponder & Waterhouse, 1997 (one species: *Kutikina hispida*) seems unjustified on the basis of the current phylogeny. This would also be consistent with results of Puslednik et al. (2009). It would be preferable to use *Bullastra* Pfeiffer, 1839 for all species of clade C3a to fit the ICZN.

# Lymnaeidae
## Distribution
Lymnaeidae snails occur worldwide, however, most species occur in the Palearctic and Nearctic regions. An unidentified fragmentary lymnaeid from deposits of the Meyer Desert Formation (reported in 2003) was the first freshwater snail recorded from Antarctica.
## Description
This family exhibits a great diversity in shell morphology but extremely homogeneous anatomical traits. Diversity of shell morphology is linked to substantial eco-phenotypic plasticity. Hubendick (1951) illustrated this point by compiling up to 1143 species names, a large number of which he synonymized. In contrast, the anatomy of their reproductive tracts (including prostate, penis and preputium) is extremely homogeneous. Immunological, cytogenetical, enzyme electrophoresis studies, and DNA-based approaches have demonstrated extensive homoplasy in anatomical characters.
## Ecology
Lymnaeidae are of major medical and veterinary importance since they act as vectors of parasites (helminths, mainly trematodes, e.g., *Fasciola* liver flukes) that severely affect human populations and livestock, and cause important economic losses. Lymnaeids serve as intermediate hosts of at least 71 trematode species distributed among 13 families, including some species of Schistosomatidae and Echinostomatidae, with implications for human health, and *Paramphistomum daubneyi*, which is of veterinary interest. The most emblematic case of parasite transmitted by lymnaeids is *Fasciola hepatica* (Digenea: Fasciolidae), the agent of fascioliasis. Mollusks, generally lymnaeids, are required as intermediate hosts to complete the life cycle of *Fasciola hepatica*. At least 20 species of Lymnaeidae have been described as potential vectors of fascioliasis

# Lady Croissant
***Lady Croissant*** is a live album by Australian singer Sia, released in April 2007 through the record label Astralwerks. Called a \"mini-album\" by Astralwerks, the collection contains one studio recording (\"Pictures\") as well as eight live tracks recorded during an April 2006 concert at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City. Eight songs were written or co-written by Sia; also featured is a cover version of Ray Davies\' song \"I Go to Sleep\", a studio recording of which later appeared on Sia\'s studio album *Some People Have Real Problems* (2008). The album was produced by Dan Carey, mixed by Jon Lemon and Taz Mattar at Sarm Studios in London, and mastered by Emily Lazar and Sarah Register at The Lodge in New York City. *Lady Croissant* received a mixed critical reception and spawned one single, \"Pictures\", which was released exclusively via American Eagle Outfitters on 27 November 2006.
## Composition
Just over forty minutes in length, *Lady Croissant* contains nine \"slow-to-mid-tempo\" compositions. The album includes one previously unreleased studio recording called \"Pictures\", co-written by Dan Carey, along with eight live tracks recorded during her 17 April 2006 performance at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City. \"Destiny\" and \"Distractions\" each appeared on Zero 7\'s 2001 album *Simple Things*, which featured vocals by Sia. Both songs were co-written by Sia and members of Zero 7; \"Destiny\" was also co-written by Sophie Barker, another vocal contributor to *Simple Things*.
\"Blow It All Away\" originally appeared on Sia\'s 2002 studio album *Healing Is Difficult*, and \"Don\'t Bring Me Down\", \"Numb\" and \"Breathe Me\" were each released on her 2004 album *Colour the Small One*. \"Lentil\" and the cover version of Ray Davies\' song \"I Go to Sleep\", made popular by both Cher and the Pretenders, would later appear on *Some People Have Real Problems* (2008). The album was produced by Carey, mixed by Jon Lemon and Taz Mattar at Sarm Studios in London and mastered by Emily Lazar and Sarah Register at The Lodge in New York City.

## Reception
*Lady Croissant* received a mixed critical reception. AllMusic\'s Marisa Brown called Sia\'s vocal performance \"rich and passionate\" and compared it to Nelly Furtado and Morley. Brown stated the band was \"tight and lush\" and that the music was \"very modern, warm and melodic and cleanly intricate\". In his review for BBC Music, Paul Sullivan wrote that the album successfully displayed Sia\'s vocal capabilities and versatility. However, he noted the minimal audience participation and felt that this prevented the album from capturing a \"live\" experience. For Sullivan, highlights included \"Don\'t Bring Me Down\", \"Destiny\", and \"Lentil\", which he believed were \"executed with an appealing mixture of frankness and fluidity\". Mark Perlaki of Gigwise.com awarded the album four out of five stars and opined that the album \"portrays an artist `{{sic|wh|o's|expecting=whose}}`{=mediawiki} star is in the ascendant, whose voice is unrivaled in style and expression, an artist on the brink of deserved and assured greater recognition\". The *Selby Times*{{\'}} review called the collection \"mesmerising\" and a good indicator of Sia\'s future work. One reviewer for WERS called the album \"breathtaking\" and wrote positively of Sia\'s vocals and the instrumentation. Like Sullivan, the reviewer warned that listeners expecting a traditional live album with \"raw cuts and heavy improvisation\" might be disappointed.
Roque Strew of Pitchfork Media found Sia\'s Adelaide accent to be a \"liability\", specifically noting difference in pronunciation between the studio versions of \"Destiny\" and \"Distractions\" and the live performances. Strew complimented \"Pictures\" and \"Lentil\", the latter of which shined through the \"fog of elongated syllables and cut consonants\". Popmatters\' Mike Schiller felt the instrumentation was \"robotic\" and found Sia\'s vocal manipulation and bending of vowels \"infuriating\", even unintelligible at times. Schiller did, however, favor her vocal tone and found the power of her voice \"occasionally transcendent\". Stuart McCaighy of *This Is Fake DIY* appreciated \"Pictures\" but also criticized Sia\'s performance for lacking diversity and for \"incomprehensible\" vocals due to her slurring of words. McCaighy concluded that, like other live albums, *Lady Croissant* was redundant but would be appreciated by fans. The Australian publication *DNA* published a mixed review of the album in 2010 following the release of *We Are Born*, complimenting Sia\'s vocals but suggesting that \"Pictures\" sounded like a B-side and that the album\'s release smells like a \"cash-in\" on her \"recent success\".

# Death at a Funeral (2007 film)
***Death at a Funeral*** is a 2007 black comedy film directed by Frank Oz. The screenplay by Dean Craig focuses on a family attempting to resolve a variety of problems when they attend the funeral of the patriarch.
## Plot
Daniel and his wife Jane live in England with his parents, while Daniel\'s younger brother Robert is a renowned novelist living in New York City. The story begins on the day of their father Edward\'s funeral. Robert arrives, having flown first class, but declines to help finance the funeral, leaving Daniel to cover all the expenses. As guests begin to arrive, Daniel struggles to complete a eulogy, even though everyone expects Robert will be the one to deliver it.
Daniel\'s cousin Martha and her fiancé Simon are desperate to make a good impression on Martha\'s father Victor. Their hopes for doing so are dashed when Martha, hoping to calm Simon\'s nerves, gives him what she believes is Valium but is actually a hallucinogenic designer drug manufactured by her brother Troy, a pharmacy student.
An American man named Peter introduces himself to Daniel, who is too busy to speak to him and suggests they talk later. The service begins and the hallucinating Simon, certain he sees the coffin moving, tips it over, causing the body to spill out onto the floor. During the ensuing chaos, Simon is told why he is acting as he is, so he panics and locks himself in the bathroom. Martha tries to persuade him to open the door while fending off the unwelcome advances of Justin, with whom she had a past one-night stand that she would like to forget. Simon climbs onto the roof naked and threatens to jump.
While most of the guests are watching Simon on the roof, Peter meets privately with Daniel and Robert and reveals he was their father\'s lover. Unhappy that he was left nothing in their father\'s will, Peter shows them compromising photographs, trying to blackmail the family for £15,000. The brothers panic, bind and gag Peter, and give him what they believe is Valium to calm him down. Peter manages to free himself but falls and hits his head on a glass coffee table. Troy and germaphobic family friend Howard believe Peter to be dead. Forced to dispose of the body as quickly and surreptitiously as possible, Daniel and Robert place it in the coffin with their father. Martha manages to talk Simon off the roof by telling him she is pregnant, much to everyone\'s relief.
Once everyone returns, the service resumes. Daniel\'s awkward eulogy is interrupted when the still-alive Peter bursts out of the coffin and the photos fall out for everyone, including Daniel and Robert\'s mother Sandra, to see. Daniel interrupts the ensuing uproar by delivering an impromptu, heartfelt eulogy, declaring that his father may have had secrets, but he was a good man, who loved his family, and that everyone at the funeral could do worse than to follow his example.
In the evening, after all the mourners (including Peter) have gone, Robert compliments Daniel on his speech and tells him that he plans on taking their mother to New York so that Daniel and Jane can finally buy their own flat. Their conversation is interrupted when Jane tells them that Uncle Alfie had a panic attack over seeing what he thought was Peter\'s dead body, so she gave him some \"Valium\". As the brothers exchange an alarmed look, the film ends with Uncle Alfie on the roof naked, as Simon had been.

It opened throughout Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia before going into theatrical release in the United Kingdom on 2 November 2007.
## Release
### Critical reception {#critical_reception}
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 62% based on 133 reviews, with an average score of 6.00/10. The website\'s critical consensus reads, \"*Death at a Funeral* is a rousing British farce, with enough slapstick silliness to overcome its faults.\" On Metacritic, the film has a score of 67 out of 100 based on 30 critics, indicating \"generally favorable reviews\". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of \"B+\" on an A+ to F scale.
Ruthe Stein of the *San Francisco Chronicle* said the film is \"in the tradition of those classics, in black-and-white and starring Peter Sellers or Alec Guinness, in which disasters keep piling up, each one more drolly funny than the last. That\'s high praise for *Death* but no more than it deserves. The humor manages to be simultaneously sophisticated, supremely silly, and very dark\...The casting couldn\'t be better. With no big stars to upset the balance, the actors work together as a true ensemble, the best since *Little Miss Sunshine*.\"
Roger Ebert of the *Chicago Sun-Times* rated it three out of four stars and commented, \"The movie is part farce (unplanned entrances and exits), part slapstick (misbehavior of corpses) and part just plain wacky eccentricity. I think the ideal way to see it would be to gather your most dour and disapproving relatives and treat them to a night at the cinema.\"
Sid Smith of the *Chicago Tribune* called the film \"lethal farce, combining hints of *The Lavender Hill Mob*, doses of Joe Orton and a smidgen of the Farrelly brothers\' scatology in its mix.\" He added, \"The sibling rivalry/resolution meant to give the movie its sweet, heartfelt thread is weak, and there are stretches in which the comedy sags or settles for the predictable. But *Death* provides an adult tonic in a season typically abandoned to the comic book cocktail. There are worse ways to escape the August heat.\"
Steve Dollar of the *New York Sun* said, \"The ensemble approach allows for a maximum of comic scenarios to be put into effect, as the film\'s motor revs into higher and higher gear. Expert pacing and delivery, as well as the abundance of hyper-articulate, over-educated, effervescently British character types, ratchet up the cringe factor accordingly. The film\'s antic disposition, or rather its disposition toward antics, may strike some as an exercise in overkill, even though, curiously, the film disappointingly resolves all the comic trauma by letting everyone off the hook. Moreover, a lot of the material, especially the closeted gay jokes, seems dated. But for Mr. Oz, finger-snap pacing and an expert cast (surely familiar to any BBC America viewer) bring this *Death* to giddy life.\"
Philip French of *The Observer* said the film, \"in which a fine British cast is wasted on feeble material, is directed by Frank Oz in less than wizardly form.\"
Phelim O\'Neill of *The Guardian* rated it two out of five stars and commented, \"Scientists believe that black holes can slow down the progress of time. A similar effect can be felt by viewers of this damp squib of a farce as it grinds on from one lame set-up to the next. This sort of sub-Alan Ayckbourn trawl might work on stage but never on the big screen, where all the deficiencies of the form are thrown into sharp relief. From Oz downwards, the credits are full of familiar names foolishly squandering the goodwill their past works have generated.\"
### Box office {#box_office}
The film eventually earned \$46,600,669, split \$8,580,428 in North America and the equivalent of \$38,020,241 in other markets. It opened in 260 theatres in the United States on 17 August 2007 and grossed \$1,282,973 on its opening weekend, ranking #17 at the box office.
### Awards
Director Frank Oz won the Audience Award at both the US Comedy Arts Festival and the Locarno International Film Festival.

Once a dreamy village, it expanded rapidly when local farmers started selling land for new construction in the 1970s. Teising gained nationwide fame in 2000 as \"debt-free\" village. A recently opened business park has attracted many businesses to Teising, who value its easily accessible location, skilled workforce, and the high recreational value of Upper Bavaria.

There is a commemorative plaque marking the site of the third freshwater spring said to be created by the Kaurna ancestor creator Tjilbruke, as part of the Tjilbruke Dreaming Track created in 1986.
After British colonisation of South Australia, settlers started farming the area, from about 1841. In the 1850s a local landowner lent his name to the beach and it became known as Dodd\'s Beach. In 1855, when shipping was the primary means of cargo transport in the area, *Nashwauk* was wrecked on the beach near the Pedler Creek outlet.
Due to an increased interest in tourism in the area, in 1927 the land was subdivided by Lake Beach Estate Ltd who held a competition to name the new town. Mr C.H. Cave won the competition with \"Moana\", which is a Polynesian-term meaning \"ocean\". The land was divided into blocks of land suitable for holiday homes and wide streets were planned and laid out, but due to the Great Depression in 1929 development of the area was slow.
In the 1950s Moana experienced renewed interest from tourism as the residents of Adelaide enjoyed the freedom and mobility of car ownership -- Moana was a pleasant 40-minute drive from Adelaide.
One of the landmarks of the area was the Moana Roundhouse, which was demolished in 2006.
## Beach front {#beach_front}
The Gulf St Vincent beach front at Moana is a combination of low cliffs, sand dunes, and hard compacted sand. The beach at Moana is accessible by normal passenger vehicles and is one of the few beaches where cars are allowed to drive onto the beach.
## Geography
Moana is a seaside suburb. It is divided into two by Pedler Creek and the associated sand dune reserve. The northern part of the Moana is referred to as the \"old survey Moana\" and the southern housing development as the \"new survey\".
There is a large deposit of red ochre near Red Ochre Cove, sometimes referred to as Serpent\'s Tongue.
The Coast to Vines rail trail passes through Moana. There was a station at Moana on the former Marino-Willunga rail line that it follows.
