# Daniel Bogden
**Daniel G. Bogden** (born 1956) is an American attorney who served as United States Attorney for the District of Nevada.
An Independent, he was nominated for the position on September 4, 2001, by Republican President George W. Bush and unanimously confirmed by the United States Senate on October 23, 2001. He served for four years. He was kept in the position by President Bush for another two years until December 2006, when he was suddenly dismissed without explanation by President Bush along with eight other US Attorneys in the Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy. Bogden was re-nominated to the position on July 31, 2009, by President Barack Obama, and served in that role again until being dismissed by President Donald Trump in March 2017 as part of the 2017 dismissal of U.S. attorneys.
## Early life and education {#early_life_and_education}
Bogden, an Ohio native, holds a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration from Ashland University in Ashland, Ohio, and a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Toledo College of Law.
## Career
Bogden has worked for the United States Air Force Judge Advocate General\'s Office and the Washoe County District Attorney\'s Office. In 1990, he joined the United States Attorney\'s Office in Reno, Nevada. In 1998, Bogden became Chief of the Reno Division of the United States Attorney\'s Office. Between his tenures as United States Attorney, he was a partner in the Nevada law firm of McDonald Carano Wilson LLP.
### Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy {#dismissal_of_u.s._attorneys_controversy}
Bogden was one of eight attorneys dismissed as part of the Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy in 2006. When Bogden was fired, Nevada US Senator John Ensign (R), who had originally nominated him, was decidedly unhappy, particularly after hearing explanations by the Justice Department of the reasons. Ensign commented: \"What the Justice Department testified yesterday is inconsistent with what they told me. I can\'t even tell you how upset I am at the Justice Department.\" A week later, Ensign said \"I\'m calling on the President of the United States and the attorney general to restore Dan Bogden\'s reputation\....Everyone in Nevada thought Dan had done a superb job\....I believe a very good man was wronged and a process was flawed.\"
Paul McNulty, a senior DOJ official noted, in an email two days before the dismissals, \"I\'m still a little skittish about Bogden. He has been with DOJ since 1990 and, at age 50, has never had a job outside of government.\" McNulty\'s \"skittishness\" was reportedly due to concern that Bogden would be unable to find employment and care for his family; this was assuaged in a 90-second meeting with Monica Goodling, where he was informed that Bogden was not married; this ended his concern, and the firing proceeded as planned.
### Joint action with the Federal Trade Commission {#joint_action_with_the_federal_trade_commission}
On August 25, 2016, Bogden joined with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in filing a lawsuit against the OMICS Group and Srinubabu Gedela, the president of the conglomerate The action was taken partly in response to on-going pressure from the academic community to act against predatory publishers and the organizers of predatory conferences. The complaint was lodged with the United States District Court for the District of Nevada and alleges that the defendants have been \"deceiving academics and researchers about the nature of its publications and hiding publication fees ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars\" and notes that \"OMICS regularly advertises conferences featuring academic experts who were never scheduled to appear in order to attract registrants\" causing attendees to \"spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on registration fees and travel costs to attend these scientific conferences.\" Attorneys for the OMICS Group published a response on their website, claiming \"your FTC allegations are baseless. Further we understand that FTC working towards favoring some subscription based journals publishers who are earning Billions of dollars from scientists literature,\" and suggesting that corporations in the scientific publishing business were behind the allegations

# Plata dulce
***Plata dulce*** (meaning \"easy money\", literally \"sweet money\") is an Argentine comedy drama-historic film. It was released on 8 July 1982 and directed by Fernando Ayala, starring Federico Luppi, Julio de Grazia and Gianni Lunadei. It received a Cóndor de Plata award for best film in 1983.
During this historic period in Argentina, many labour rights were suspended and industrial production fell to extremely low levels, while banks started rising and external debt grew practically exponentially. The result of these policy (which aimed for *easy money*) was one of the biggest financial disasters in the country\'s history, producing a large loss of its industry and bringing large part of the population into poverty.
## Plot
Two businessmen dedicated to manufacturing and selling bathroom cabinets struggle to keep their factory running through a series of deep deindustrialization politics being pushed by the country\'s military dictatorship. One of them, Carlos Bonifatti, gets a chance at working in a bank and decides to stop manufacturing cabinets and dedicate fully to financial businesses which seem to be rising. The other partner, Rubén Molinuevo, sticks to the factory work. At the beginning the choice seems good for Bonifatti, who highly improves his living standards, but shortly after the tables will turn for both of them

# Nina Clifford
**Nina Clifford** (August 3, 1851 -- July 14, 1929) was a Canadian-born madam who ran the most popular brothel in Saint Paul, Minnesota, from 1889 to 1929.
## Early life {#early_life}
Clifford was born Johanna Crow (also known as \"Hannah\") on August 3, 1851, in Chatham, Canada West to Irish or German immigrant parents. Her family moved to Detroit, Michigan, while she was a child. Later, still in Detroit, she married a man named Conrad Steinbrecher.
## Saint Paul {#saint_paul}
Widowed in 1886 at the age of 35, Clifford moved to St. Paul. In 1887 she brought two building lots on Washington Street along the Mississippi River, opposite the city morgue and police station, and had two red brick buildings built. Clifford lived in one, no. 145, and started a brothel in the other, no. 147. During this time she started going by the name Nina Clifford. Washington Street was then in St. Paul\'s red-light district, concentrated downtown between Cedar and Sibley Streets, and \"under the hill\" near Eagle Street. Clifford\'s was one of St. Paul\'s most upscale brothels. Its interior was appointed with plush furnishing and marble fireplaces. The waiting area featured crystal chandeliers and Mumm\'s champagne was served.
Business was good, and in 1895 records show that Clifford employed 11 prostitutes and three servants. A musician was also included in 1900 records. By the 1920s the brothel had two telephone lines. Clifford was known to accept diamonds in payment, and was reputed to have several hundred uncut diamonds. She brought other madams to the Washington District, including Ida Dorsey, who purchased Clifford\'s building at 151 South Washington Street.
Clifford frequently appeared in court, as did other madams, and was fined. The fine was effectively a licensing fee. She also regularly bribed the police. In 1913 Clifford was charged with bribery in connection with a corruption case against former police chief Martin Flanagan and detective Fred Turner, but avoided conviction by testifying for the prosecution.
Clifford invested her profits in property in Michigan. She ran the business personally until she died of a stroke on July 14, 1929, aged 78, in Detroit while visiting family. She is buried there in Mount Elliott Cemetery.

## Legacy
Clifford\'s brothel was demolished in 1937. Journalist and St. Paul mayor Larry Hodgson wrote a poem to mark the event:
> \"The Lay of Nina Clifford\"
>
> The windows are grimy and covered with dust\
> In that old house under the hill\
> The door hinges rusty, the lock is bust\
> The spider webs cover it still\
> No longer do gay lights their welcome convey\
> Inviting the wayfarer in\
> To choose from the bevy, his favorite lay\
> To dally a while and sin\
> Gone are the sofas and plush covered chairs\
> From the parlor once happy and bright\
> No longer do douche pans in bedrooms upstairs\
> Clank busily all thru the night\
> No more do fat durghers play and carouse\
> And some pretty blonds on their backs\
> For Nina is dead and her once famous house\
> Is sold to pay up the back tax\
> They\'re widening the street so they\'re tearing it down\
> The whorehouse that was once the pride of the town\
> Soon won\'t be worth more than a fart\
> It\'s stone they are taking the morgue to repair\
> A purpose appropriate -- true\
> For many a stiff has been laid in them both\
> Even as me and you
It was rumored that underground tunnels linked Clifford\'s brothel to the Minnesota Club for easy access by club members, but this was disproved by a 1997 excavation of the site for the new Science Museum of Minnesota, during which no tunnels were found. A portrait of a woman believed to be Clifford hung on the wall at the club, and though it may have resembled Clifford, it was actually a reproduction of a \"Miss Pearce,\" previously attributed to Thomas Sully. A brick from the brothel is mounted in the club with a plaque reading, \"This brick from Nina Clifford\'s house is presented to the Gentlemen of the Minnesota Club for their great interest in historic buildings\". The club renamed its billiard room after Clifford. The ornate crystal chandelier from the brothel\'s waiting room was hung in the mayor\'s office after the brothel was demolished.
The brothel\'s foundations were discovered during excavations for the Science Museum of Minnesota in 1998. A group of archaeologists from the 106 Group unearthed many artifacts. From these they concluded that, although the prostitutes earned nine or ten times the average women\'s earnings at the time, conditions were unsanitary and harsh.
Clifford was memorialized in the 1980s with a play, and then a musical, titled *Nina! Madam to a Saintly City*

# Edcon
**Edcon Limited** was a retail company based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Its subsidiaries included Edgars, a department store with 203 branches. In 2020, the Competition Tribunal approved the sale of the Edgars division to Retailability (pty) Ltd, and Jet to The Foschini Group.
## History
Edcon Ltd was the leading clothing, footwear and textiles (CFT) retailing group in South Africa trading through a range of retail formats. The first Edgars store was opened on 6 September 1929 in Joubert Street, Johannesburg by Sydney Press. It was listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in 1949 and opened its first stores outside of South Africa in Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland (now Eswatini) in 1966-69. Since then, the Company had grown to ten retail brands trading in (as of 2014) over 1400 stores in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Eswatini, Lesotho, Ghana, Zimbabwe and Zambia.
In 1982 the company, still known as Edgars, was acquired by South African Breweries. It launched its Red Square retail chain in 1996 and acquired the struggling stationery retailer CNA in 2002 for R130 million. The company acquired the houseware retailer Boardmans in 2004 for R94 million.
Edcon Financial Services provided credit facilities and financial services products to the Group\'s over 4 million cardholders. In November 2015, according to reports, Edcon Limited referred to the National Consumer Tribunal. In October 2017, it was reported that Edcon rewarded its customers with a revitalised \'\'thank U\'\' customer reward programme.
Bain Capital concluded a private equity deal that delisted the group from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in 2007. Following the delisting the company experienced numerous challenges.
In early 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the company ceased to pay rents for its retail locations while the resultant lockdowns in South Africa prevented businesses from operating. The group has subsequently gone into Business Rescue with a number of their subsidiaries being sold off to other Fashion Retail Holding Companies.

Following the private equity takeover by Bain Capital, Edcon had a succession of CEOs, lost significant market share, and struggled with an oversupply of leased floorspace. This was partly due to an increase in cheaper imported clothing and the increasing move to online shopping by customers.
In 2016 the company recorded a net debt of R24.7 billion and was temporarily taken over by debtors to avoid financial collapse. This resulted in the closure of 253 stores by 2018 as part of a recovery plan and by 2017 the company had reduced its level of net debt to R4.2 billion. In July 2018 Edcon announced that it was closing its Boardmans homeware and La Senza stores.
In January 2018, Grant Pattison became CEO.
In December 2018 it was reported in the Sunday Times that Edcon and its subsidiaries were on the brink of financial collapse and was seeking a deal with mall owners to reduce rental payments. Edcon disputed the reports but did state that it was working towards eliminating company debt and a deal to prevent the closure of its stores. The possible 44,000 direct and additional 100,000 indirect job losses should the company stop trading was used by trade union SAFTU to criticise President Ramaphosa\'s economic policies.
Following the COVID-19 lockdown in South Africa in 2020, Edcon announced that they had filed for business rescue and that approximately 5000 jobs were on the line. On the 8th of September 2020, The Competition Tribunal approved the sale of Edgars to Durban Based, private fashion company Retailability, who owns three other brands, Legit, Style and Beaver Canoe. The Competition Tribunal also approved the sale of JET to The Foschini Group saving an additional undisclosed number of jobs in the process. The CNA Group was sold to a Mauritian Holding Company.

# Noboru Tanaka
was a Japanese film director known for his *Roman Porno* films, including three critically respected films known as the *Showa trilogy*: *A Woman Called Sada Abe* (*aka* *Sada Abe: Docu-Drama*) (1975), *Watcher in the Attic* (1976), and *Beauty\'s Exotic Dance: Torture!* (1977), all three starring Nikkatsu *Roman porno* queen Junko Miyashita. The first film in this trilogy recounted the story of Sada Abe a year before Nagisa Oshima\'s internationally released *In the Realm of the Senses* (1976), which told the same story. Though at the time he was working, his career was overshadowed by directors such as Tatsumi Kumashiro and Chūsei Sone, many critics today judge Tanaka the best of Nikkatsu\'s *Roman porno* directors.
## Life and career {#life_and_career}
### Early life {#early_life}
Tanaka was born in Hakuba in Nagano prefecture on August 15, 1937. He majored in French literature at Meiji University in Tokyo. Tanaka said that his interest in the cinema came about through a circuitous route. Early in life he wanted to be a novelist. His interest in writing shifted to poetry. Tanaka remembered, \"I wrote a lot of poems. Each expression in a poem may contain countless meanings, otherwise it wouldn\'t be a good poem. In other words, each expression provides a lot of imagery. Then I thought that in reverse, I could use images to express my poetic world. I thought the image world of film-making might be what I should explore.\"
While working on his thesis, dealing with this interest in the relationship between imagery and literature, Tanaka took a part-time job at a movie studio to gain first-hand knowledge of film production. He served as a production assistant on Kurosawa\'s *Yojimbo* (1961), an experience which created Tanaka\'s enthusiasm for the film industry. After graduation, he applied to Nikkatsu studios for a job as an assistant director and passed their entrance exam. In this capacity, he worked under some of the studio\'s best directors of the time, including Seijun Suzuki and Shōhei Imamura. Among the films on which Tanaka worked at this time was Imamura\'s *The Pornographers*.
### *Roman porno* {#roman_porno}
\"I think Nikkatsu\'s position in the industry is unique. It\'s a large company, but we worked on one single concept, sex, for 18 years, and made a very large number of films. Having sex is an activity where we clearly show our true natures. Examining the relationships between men and women is one of the best ways to show the essence of human beings. So we thought that by working with the theme of sex, we could explore ourselves more deeply and express the very core of the world.\"\
-- **Noboru Tanaka**
In the late 1960s, Nikkatsu began having severe financial trouble due to audiences lost to television and an influx of Western films. In order to avoid bankruptcy, Takashi Itamochi, president of Nikkatsu, made the decision to put the company\'s high production values and professional talent into the adult, or *pink film* industry as a way of attracting a new audience. Nikkatsu called its line of *pink films* \"Roman Porno\", and started the series in November 1971. Rather than work in sex films, many directors left the studio at this time, opening up positions for younger directors in their wake. Tanaka remembers his attitude about Nikkatsu\'s decision, \"I was excited and positive about the changes, and was very eager to work in this new genre as a director.\"
The studio gave its *Roman porno* directors a great deal of artistic freedom. Beyond budgetary and time restraints, the only rule was that the film meet the official minimum quota of four nude or sex scenes per hour. Patrick Macias notes the diversity of styles this format allowed. Director Chūsei Sone \"specialized in ribald tales from the past\", Yasuharu Hasebe, \"delivered frightening, raw, and violent images\", and Tanaka created films which were \"as sophisticated as they were erotic.\" In later years, reflecting on his work in the genre, Tanaka pointed out, \"We can look at the core of human beings without disguising anything and can express ourselves very honestly. That\'s why working on *Roman porno* is such an enjoyable experience.\"
Tanaka was given his first chance to direct in 1972 with the early *Roman porno*, *Beads From a Petal*. Originally called *I Am Burning Up* (*Moeagaru Watashi*), a title Tanaka always preferred, the story deals with the sexual awakening of a frigid woman. Tanaka meant the film to be an allegorical depiction of Japanese society in the post-war years, later saying, \"After the war, Japan suffered from frigidity and the film described how the psychological bruises Japan suffered from would gradually be cured as time passed, through a young woman\'s life.\" Though criticized for some heavy-handed symbolism, this first film showed Tanaka\'s ability to give a movie a strikingly interesting look.
The same year, Tanaka directed *Night of the Felines*, an unusually realistic look at the lives of a group of prostitutes. This is considered one of Tanaka\'s early major films. Also in 1972, he gained critical approval for his *Woman on the Night Train*. Even in this early work Tanaka\'s direction is called, \"some of the best in any *pink film*.\"
As his career progressed, Tanaka\'s films became known for their imaginative, sometimes surreal, use of color and poetic imagery within the setting of a harsh, brutal world. In 1973, Tanaka directed the second entry in the *Secret Chronicle* trilogy, *Secret Chronicle: Torture Hell*. In contrast to the first entry in the trilogy, a satirical depiction of a 19th-century brothel, Tanaka\'s film was a serious look at religious-sexual ceremonies at a temple. For this effort, Tanaka won the Directors Guild of Japan New Directors Citation in 1973. The last film of this trilogy, *Secret Chronicle: She Beast Market* (1974) returned to the satirical style of the first film. The cast included the popular poet Sakumi Hagiwara playing the memorable role of a man who simultaneously commits suicide and wipes out a gang of *yakuza* when he explodes a gas-filled inflatable sex-doll.
Tanaka\'s visual flair raised *Private Life of a School Mistress* (1973) above its lackluster story of a female teacher and her romantic relationship with a male student. The mainstream film journal *Eiga Geijutsu* put the film at eighth place on its list of the top ten films of the year. While employed at Nikkatsu, Tanaka also made a few films outside of the *pink* genre for other studios. For Toei, he filmed *Kobe International Gang* (1975) and *Escape of Gangster Ando Noboru*, starring the yakuza-turned-actor Noboru Ando himself.
A black-and-white film employing handheld camera and a fragmented, impressionistic narrative structure, Tanaka\'s *Confidential Report: Sex Market* (1974) is among the most unusual-looking films in the Roman Porno series. The first film in Tanaka\'s *Showa Trilogy*, *A Woman Called Sada Abe* is more conventional than most of his films, but highly regarded by critics. Tanaka was proud of his ability to produce a high-quality film on a minimal budget. Nikkatsu allotted 7,500,000 yen (approximately US\$65,000) for their *Roman porno* films, but Tanaka used only about 6,600,000 yen to make *A Woman Called Sada Abe*. Tanaka later explained, \"I managed to make it for about 900,000 yen under budget. I believe it depends on the initial concept. I was confident that as long as the concept was good, it would become a great film and beat any of those films made for 10,000,000 yen. I think that\'s the most interesting thing about film-making: it\'s so unpredictable. \'Abe Sada\'s\' simple lip movement could say more and be more appealing to an audience than thousands of horses running around a field. It\'s possible that lip movement could be more effective than thousands of horses and that\'s why film-making is very creative and incredibly interesting.\"

## Life and career {#life_and_career}
### *Roman porno* {#roman_porno}
The second entry Tanaka\'s *Showa Trilogy*, *Watcher in the Attic* (1976), also starring *Sada Abe*\'s Junko Miyashita, was a breakthrough for Tanaka. *Magill\'s Survey of Cinema* calls this adaptation of a Rampo Edogawa novel \"a frenzied fantasy treat.\" In 1970 the story had been given a straight *pink film* treatment by actress Rumi Tama\'s husband, director Akitaka Kimata, founder of Pro Taka and Million Film. Mainstream critics recognized that Tanaka\'s work in this film made it stand out from its modest *pink film* origins. The *Peer Cinema Club Annual*, a conservative publication which did not normally concern itself with *Pink films*, judged it \"a perfect marriage of decadence and art.\" Tanaka\'s depictions of Edogawa\'s *ero guro nansensu* style, voyeurism and the Taishō period were influential on later films such as Kazuyoshi Okuyama\'s *Mystery of Rampo* (1994), Akio Jissōji\'s Rampo films, including *The D-Slope Murder Case* (1998), and *Rampo Noir* (2005).
The third film in the *Showa Trilogy*, *Beauty\'s Exotic Dance: Torture!* (1977) while still a box-office hit, was not as well-received by the critics of the time as the two preceding entries, perhaps because of its more extreme, sado-masochistic theme.
*Rape and Death of a Housewife* (1978), despite its sensationalistic title, is considered one of Tanaka\'s masterpieces, and was his major mainstream critical break-through. Kinema Jumpo gave the film their \"Best Film\" award for 1979, and Tanaka was nominated for Best Director at the second Japanese Academy of Films and Motion Pictures ceremony for this film and *Pink Salon: Five Lewd Women* (also 1978). *Pink Salon: Five Lewd Women* was praised for its sympathetic view to the women characters, somewhat unusual for a *Roman porno*. Some critics have commented on the story\'s similarity to Ridley Scott\'s 1991 *Thelma & Louise*.
### Later years {#later_years}
After a few lean years, Tanaka made a come-back effort with the third entry in the *Angel Guts* series, the critical and box-office success, *Angel Guts: Nami* (1980). Jasper Sharp writes that, from the point of character, plotting and construction, Tanaka\'s film is the most satisfying entry in the series, based on an adult *manga* by Takashi Ishii. He notes, however, that Tanaka\'s visuals are over-active make the film a difficult one for most viewers. Tanaka recalled, \"I was determined to make a film which was much more impressive than the comic. One image of a film has to be much more impressive than one frame of the comic. That\'s what film is all about. For the scene in which we see Nami\'s eye in close-up on the screen, I shot about 3,000 feet of film just to show the details of her eye and \[its\] movement, including the pulsing of a blood vessel.\"
After making nearly 25 films for Nikkatsu, Tanaka left the studio to try his hand at directing mainstream films for other studios. He directed several hits including the 1983 Shochiku film, *Village of Doom*, inspired by the Tsuyama massacre. He returned to Nikkatsu to direct *Monster Woman \'88* (1988) and then retired from the film industry. Allmovie writes that Tanaka was a director of films \"so adventurous and bizarre that he soon became one of Japan\'s most celebrated directors,\" while Jasper Sharp judges him, \"\[t\]he most visually-gifted of Nikkatsu\'s directors of the period.\" Just as international recognition was beginning to come to Tanaka, he died of a brain aneurysm on October 4, 2006.

# State of Reality
***State of Reality*** (*Darse cuenta*) is a 1984 Argentine historical drama film directed by Alejandro Doria and starring Luis Brandoni, Darío Grandinetti and Lito Cruz. The film won the 1985 Silver Condor Awards for Best Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress (China Zorrilla).
## Plot
During the final years of the dark period of the last civic-military dictatorship and the Falklands War, a young man (Darío Grandinetti) suffers a car accident and is transferred to a public hospital (Muñiz Hospital). In a coma and with severe spinal injuries, the medical professionals believe he has little chance of surviving with dignity, and he is practically abandoned in that state by his family, partner, and friends. However, a stubborn, compassionate, and principled doctor (Luis Brandoni) fights to save him, with the help of one of the nurses at the facility (China Zorrilla).

# Beinn Dubhchraig
**Beinn Dubhchraig** (*\'\'\'Beinn Dubhchreig\'\'\'*) is a mountain in the Scottish Highlands, west of Crianlarich in the northern part of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. It is a Munro with a height of 978 m. It is overshadowed by its neighbour Ben Lui, although it is well seen from the main A82 road. Its name means \"mountain of the black rock\", referring to the steep and rocky face on the southwest slopes above Loch Oss, which offer scrambling routes to the summit.
## Geography and Biology {#geography_and_biology}
Beinn Dubhchraig stands in a group of mountains which rise around the headwaters of the River Cononish and includes two other Munros (Ben Lui and Ben Oss) and the Corbett Beinn Chuirn. The glen of Cononish and the four mountains make up the Ben Lui National Nature Reserve, an area which attracts many biologists who come to study the profusion of mountain plants which grow on the moist rocky cliffs and outcrops. The soil in the reserve is of low acidity and saxifrages grow in abundance. Large herds of deer can be found in the corries around the mountain.
The mountain stands in an area that has always been popular for hill walking, even before the advent of the motor car, Tyndrum's two railway stations gave easy access to these hills. Beinn Dubhchraig's best topographic feature is its northern corrie which forms a large basin between the north and north east ridges, the corrie is drained by the Allt Coire Dubchraig which flows north east to join the River Fillan. At the foot of the northern corrie are remnants of an old Scots Pine wood of Coille Coire Chuilc, part of the former Caledonian Forest. These northern foothills of the mountain were once heavily mined for lead and there are still prominent scars on the hillside. The Clan Campbell wrecked the mine workings in 1745 as they were then owned by a prominent Jacobite Sir Robert Clifton. The mine workings closed eventually in 1923.
Beinn Dubhchraig is linked to the adjacent Munro of Ben Oss, which lies two kilometres to the west, by the Bealach Buidhe which has a height of 779 metres. The ridge down to the bealach is broad and holds a few small lochans within the schist rock hollows. There are corries to both the north and south of the bealach. Coire Garbh to the south holds Loch Oss, a sheet of water measuring roughly 500 metres by 300 metres with a small island located within it. To the north of the bealach is Coire Buidhe which has a very steep headwall which prevents a direct descent from the bealach down to the Cononish valley to the north. To the east, Beinn Dubhchraig falls to the valley of Gleann Auchreoch, much of these lower eastern slopes were planted with conifers in the early 1970s and have become an obstacle to approaches to the mountain from that direction.
## Ascents
The ascent of Beinn Dubchraig starts from the hamlet of Dalrigh on the A82 at grid reference `{{gbm4ibx|NN343292}}`{=mediawiki} and takes the track which crosses the railway and follows the Allt Coire Dubchraig through the wood. The track becomes more muddy and crosses three deer fences by stiles to reach the open mountainside from where it is possible to ascend the northern corrie direct to reach the summit plateau just to the north west of the highest point. Beinn Dubhchraig is often climbed in conjunction with some or all of the mountains around the Cononish valley. The view from the summit gives fine views of the mountains of Breadalbane to the west and the twin Munros of Ben More and Stob Binnein are well seen to the south east

# Lancashire County Football Association
The **Lancashire County Football Association**, also known simply as the **Lancashire FA**, is the governing body of football within the historical county boundaries of Lancashire, England. They are responsible for the governance and development of football at all levels in the county.
## History and organisation {#history_and_organisation}
The Lancashire County FA was formed on 28 September 1878 at a meeting held one Saturday afternoon in the parlour of The Volunteer Inn, Bromley Cross.
The LFA runs a number of different cup competitions catering for the various levels of football played throughout the county, which is based on the historic county boundaries of Lancashire, before the 1974 county boundary re-organisation, rather than the current administrative county boundaries and so includes Barrow-in-Furness to the north and Manchester, Rochdale, Oldham and Liverpool to the south. Warrington, historically part of Lancashire, is not administered by the Lancashire FA and is instead covered by the Cheshire FA. The administrative area covered by the Lancashire County FA overlaps with areas covered by Manchester FA and Liverpool FA. According to the *Memorandum on Areas and Overlapping of Associations* the Manchester FA covers the area 12 miles from Manchester Town Hall and is confined to Lancashire. The Liverpool FA covers 18 miles in Lancashire and 8 miles in Cheshire from Liverpool Town Hall. In addition in an agreement with the Cumberland FA the Lancashire FA received eight clubs in the South Cumberland area of Millom from the end of season 1969/70.
The county is divided into nine areas with each area having one member on the LFA Council. The divisions are as follows:
Division 1: Burnley -- Pendle -- Rossendale\
Division 2: Blackburn with Darwen -- Hyndburn -- Ribble Valley\
Division 3: Bolton\
Division 4: Bury -- Rochdale\
Division 5: Chorley -- Liverpool -- West Lancashire\
Division 6: Preston -- South Ribble -- Blackpool -- Fylde\
Division 7: Oldham -- Manchester\
Division 8: Barrow -- Lancaster -- Wyre\
Division 9: St Helens -- Wigan -- Warrington
The Lancashire FA governs 100 leagues, 4,000 teams and 1,500 referees.

# Juan Carlos Cacho
**Juan Carlos Cacho Gutiérrez** (born 3 May 1982) is a Mexican former professional footballer and current manager of Liga MX Femenil club Pachuca.
## Club career {#club_career}
Juan Carlos Cacho Gutiérrez is a product of the youth system of Cruz Azul. He started his professional career in this club in 2001.
### Cruz Azul {#cruz_azul}
He debuted in Cruz Azul against Puebla on 14 February 2006. On 17 November 2006, his second game ever, he scored his first goal ever against Monterrey only having played 23 minutes. He did not really receive too many minutes until the Apertura 2002 when they put him in for 90 minutes and he scored 6 goals. The next tournament, with Abreu having an early departure in the early-half of the tournament because of contractual problems, Cacho became the team\'s prized forward with 8 goals in the regular league and two in the reclassification (in which Cruz Azul was eliminated). Unfortunately, Cacho was young and he was a local player which did not give him much priority with the different coaches that passed through Cruz Azul. In the tournament after, he was not able to play the first half of the tournament because Marcel Delgado and Cesar Delgado were brought to Cruz Azul. Cacho was finally put in as a starter in the last 5 games and was able to score 5 goals. In the reclassification and the quarter-finals, he was well covered by Tecos and Tigres, leaving Argentine Cesar Delgado, who had a great second game against Tigres, to take charge of the offense, so even though he was not scoring he was still a key element to the team. In the next league, Clausura 2004, Cacho, receiving very few minutes per game, went dry without having scored a single goal. Cruz Azul then sold Cacho to Pachuca for a sum of \$10 million.
### Pachuca
Cacho is one of the best players Cruz Azul has produced, with his quickness, a perfect shot, and the mind and cold blood of a forward. Although, in Pachuca, he had to start all over. Which was fine with him, because in about 5 weeks he had his first goal against Tecos, and playing only 19 minutes against Cruz Azul he enacted a sort of revenge and scored 2 goals. He then ended the tournament scoring 2 goals in the last 2 games. Although in the quarter-finals, Monterrey played smart and did not allow many goals and got through to the next round eliminating Pachuca. His 5 goals were impressive counting the fact that he was a substitute throughout the whole league.
Next league was not Cacho\'s nor Pachuca\'s league. Cacho scored against Atlante and against Monterrey, while Pachuca missed the playoffs. Although, it is quite impressive that Cacho\'s goal against Atlante was from half field going over Federico Vilar\'s head. Then in the first game of the Apertura 2005, Cacho entered for 21 minutes and won the game for Pachuca scoring another goal from half field this time over Christian Martinez head. He scored three more goals in the league, in which Pachuca won all three games. Then in the playoffs, Cacho and Landin shared the glory of getting Pachuca into the semi-finals where Toluca was able to stop Pachuca from advancing. Cacho did not have a good tournament the following season and only scored two goals, but Luis Angel Landín and Richard Nuñez were able to keep the team scoring and Pachuca was able to win the championship of the Liga MX against San Luis.
The next tournament, Cacho returned in full force and was the team\'s prized forward with 8 goals in the league and 4 goals in the Copa Nissan Sudamericana. Cacho now had a little of help to score goals and was not alone up in front. With Damian Alvarez, el \'Chaco\' Gimenez, Andres Chitiva, Luis Angel Landín, Jaime Correa Córdoba and Gabriel Caballero alongside him, it made it a lot easier to score. This Pachuca team went to the semi-finals of the Mexican league and ended up being the first team from Mexico to ever win a competition set up by CONMEBOL, by beating Colo Colo in the final of La Copa Sudamericana.
In the Clausura 2007, he scored 8 goals in the regular league to match his previous season, while also scoring a goal in the final of la Copa de CONCACAF Campeones against Chivas, where Pachuca also ended up champion. Cacho also scored the 3 goals of his team against America in the two games of the Mexican final, two in the first game, and one in the second game becoming champion with Pachuca for the second time.

# Chotiros Suriyawong
**Chotiros \"Amy\" Suriyawong** (*\"เอมี่\" โชติรส สุริยะวงศ์*) is a Thai actress and university student.
## Awards dress controversy {#awards_dress_controversy}
During the 2007, Subhanahongsa Awards on February 17, Chotiros wore a revealing black dress that attracted media attention, proved to be controversial, and resulted in Chotiros being disciplined by her university. The ankle-length dress had a 3 in front slit held together by seven thin strips of fabric that started at her left hip and curved upward to her cleavage.
A moral backlash against Chotiros and her dress arose in the days following the awards show. `{{Interlanguage link multi|Somsak Techaratanaprasert|th|3=สมศักดิ์ เตชะรัตนประเสริฐ|vertical-align=sup}}`{=mediawiki} , the owner of Sahamongkol Film International (Thailand\'s largest production house), ordered all footage of Chotiros to be deleted from his next film *Suay Samurai*, saying \"I don\'t want my actresses to dress that way. and it goes against Thai culture.\" He banned her from appearing in any of his future films. Culture Minister Khaisri Sri-aroon called her dress \"very inappropriate.\"
However, Amy was supported by many, some of whom resented the junta\'s morality drive. The university rector Suraphol Nitikraipot and assistant rector for student affairs Prinya Thewanaruemitkul at Thammasat University, at which Chotiros was a senior at the Faculty of Liberal Arts, forced Chotiros to appear before a press conference with deans of the university, and made her apologize for her actions. As punishment, she was ordered to read books to blind children for 15 days, as well as perform other community services

# Qazaq (journal)
***Qazaq*** (*Қазақ*, قازاق) was a Kazakh language weekly journal started by Akhmet Baitursynov (editor in chief), Alikhan Bukeikhanov and Mirjaqip Dulatuli.
*Qazaq* was published from 1913 until March 1918, when it was shut down by the Soviet government. Influenced by other Jadid journals, *Qazaq* was considered to be a medium promoting the emerging Kazakh nationalism against Tsarist imperial policies. *Qazaq* published articles on the Kazakh culture, colonization of lands by Russian settlers, taxation issues, educational issues, pros and cons of Kazakh nomadic life and ongoing settlements etc. The founders of *Qazaq* newspaper wanted to introduce western style reforms to the Kazakh lands as a first step in the gradual progress of Kazakh people towards autonomy and independence.
Influenced by Western scientific and cultural achievements, contributors to the *Qazaq* newspaper wanted to introduce similar reforms to the nomadic Kazakhs. They thought nomadic life style is backward, and Kazakhs should sedenterize in order to resist Russian imperial policies, which were dislocating the nomadic life style. Although Soviet historians considered *Qazaq* as conservative, the journal had a strong reformist, progressive agenda. Both the *Qazaq* and *Ay Qap* were in favour of sedenterization, literacy, and westernization. Those who favoured more western-style reforms contributed to *Qazaq*, while those who favoured Middle Eastern cultures as a model published *Ay Qap* at about the same time. Both journals wanted to realize autonomy and independence for Kazakhs, and they both envisioned reformation of Kazakh culture as a precondition for gradual realization of these goals

# Student Day (Iran)
**Student Day** (*روز دانشجو*) is the anniversary of the murder of three students of University of Tehran on December 7, 1953 (16 Azar 1332 in the Iranian calendar) by Iranian police in the Pahlavi era.
This day is held to commemorate the three students who were killed on Azar 16th , 1332, due to protesting the official visit of Richard Nixon, the vice president of the United States at the time, and also the resumption of relations between Iran and Britain. The main reason for students\' opposition to Nixon was the Mordad 28th coup and the overthrow of Mossadegh\'s government . Every year on the 16th of Azar, the memory of that day is kept alive with a ceremony held by various students in all universities around Iran and some other countries.
Every year student demonstrations are held at universities to demand academic rights like freedom of speech and academic independence from the government. Often the protest reflects broader democratic concerns, such as those of 2009 Green Movement in 2009 and the Mahsa Amini (Woman, Life, Freedom) protests in 2022. The government also organises gatherings and demonstrations on campuses which sometimes clash with student-organised protests.
The day is commemorated by various sections of the student movement in Iran, including Leftist, Islamic, and Nationalist groups. It also was commemorated outside of Iran by the Confederation of Iranian Students for years after 1953. The Confederation played a critical role at that time when the student movement inside the country was under severe pressure. A monthly bulletin published by the Confederation was also titled \"Azar 16\". The 2022 date is December 7.
## The Initial Incident {#the_initial_incident}
Ahmad Ghandchi who belonged to Jebhe-e Melli (Nationalist Front) and two other students, Shariat-Razavi and Bozorg-Nia who were claimed by Hezb-e Tudeh (a communist Party), were killed when the Shah\'s police forces opened fire on the students of University of Tehran going on strike in protest at the resumption of Iran\'s relations with Great Britain and Richard Nixon\'s visit to Iran, following the coup d\'état of 1953.
## During the 2009 Green Movement {#during_the_2009_green_movement}
On the anniversary of Student Day in 2009, large student protests broke out in opposition to the 2009 Iranian Presidential election. Following the December 7, 2009 Student Day protests in Iran, Heshmat Tabarzadi published an opinion piece in the *Wall Street Journal*, writing, \"One thing is certain: Dec. 7 proved that the movement for a free, democratic Iran is robust and only growing in strength. If the government continues to opt for violence, there very well may be another revolution in Iran. One side has to step down. And that side is the government----not the people

# Projeto Tóquio
The **Projeto Tóquio** (*Tokyo Project*) is a Portuguese language term traditionally used by Brazilian media and clubs\' staff and supporters in the context of winning or attempting to win the Copa Libertadores football (soccer) competition and then compete in the FIFA Club World Cup (or, previously in the Intercontinental Cup) in Japan. Thus, when a club gets eliminated from the competition, it is said by the media that the team has postponed its Tokyo Project. The term Projeto Tóquio was first used in 1986, during São Paulo\'s 1986 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A campaign, as a way to make the club more popular.
## History
The project normally starts after the club win the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A or the Copa do Brasil (which qualify their winner to compete in the following year\'s Copa Libertadores), and the clubs usually spend large sums of money to win the Copa Libertadores. In 1998, Vasco da Gama spent US\$10 million to win the competition, and in 1998, Palmeiras, managed by Luiz Felipe Scolari, brought Júnior Baiano among other players, and won the Copa Libertadores 1999. After winning the Copa Libertadores in 1997, Cruzeiro signed some players, such as Bebeto, Gonçalves and Donizete, just to play the match in Japan. Vasco tried to keep the 2000 Série A and 2000 Copa Mercosur squad for the 2001 season, as part of their plan to win the 2001 Copa Libertadores and thus compete in the Intercontinental Cup.
The name refers to the city where the Intercontinental Cup was contested from 1980 to 2001, which was played in Tokyo during that period

# Daniel O'Neill (painter)
**Daniel O\'Neill** (1920 -- March 9, 1974) was a Romantic painter born in Belfast, Ireland.
## Biography
The son of an electrician, and himself an electrician by trade, O\'Neill was largely self-taught, although he briefly attended Belfast College of Art life classes, before working with and studying under fellow Belfast artist Sidney Smith. He quickly developed an expressionist technique, and strong romanticism, with imagery, often full of pathos, evoking the themes of love, life and death.
The start of his painting career coincided with the outbreak of World War II and after the 1941 Belfast Blitz he salvaged wood and experimented with wood carving. O\'Neill\'s first exhibition was at the Mol Gallery in Belfast in 1941. In 1949 he visited Paris and was influenced by Georges Rouault, Maurice de Vlaminck and Maurice Utrillo. A number of works followed on which his reputation largely rests, including *Place du Tertre* (1949), *The Blue Skirt* (1949), *Knockalla Hills, Donegal* (1951) and *Birth* (1952). His later work, largely brighter in colour, was seen by critics as less successful.
In the 1950s, O\'Neill moved from Belfast to Conlig, County Down, where there was a small artists\' colony that included George Campbell and Gerard Dillon. He lived in London from 1958 to 1971 and his work in this period was increasingly introspective and often desolate. O\'Neill returned to Belfast in 1971, where he died in 1974.
During his lifetime, O\'Neill\'s works were primarily exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy. Some of his paintings were shown at the Irish Museum of Modern Art as part of a 2005 exhibition of Northern Irish artists

# Choujiu
***Choujiu*** is a type of Chinese fermented alcoholic beverage brewed from glutinous rice. It is very thick and has a milky white color, which is sometimes compared to jade.^[photo](https://web.archive.org/web/20070927120358/http://www.21food.cn/userImages/CAOLITOP/CAOLITOP%24131174326.jpg)^ Fermentation is carried out by a combination of the fungus *Aspergillus oryzae*, which converts the rice starches into fermentable sugars, and yeast, which converts the sugars into alcohol. Varieties of lactic acid bacteria are also commonly present in the fermentation starter. The traditional Chinese name of the fermentation starter is *qū*.
*Choujiu* is an ancient variety of Chinese alcoholic beverage. It can be traced back to the Tang dynasty, where it was praised by the poet Li Bai. In ancient times, *choujiu* was referred to as *láolǐ* (醪醴) or *yùjiāng* (玉浆).
In the modern day, the city of Xi\'an is known particularly for its *choujiu*.
*Doburoku* (*どぶろく* / *濁酒*) is the Japanese equivalent of *choujiu*, and in Korea *gamju* and *makgeolli* are similar

# Jimmy John Liautaud
**James John Liautaud** (born January 12, 1964) is an American restaurateur, who is widely known as the founder and former chairman of Jimmy John\'s sandwich chain.
In October 2018, Liautaud was included in the Forbes list of the world\'s wealthiest people. In 2018, Forbes estimated Liautaud\'s documented wealth at \$1.7 billion.
## Family and early life {#family_and_early_life}
Liautaud was born in Arlington Heights, Illinois on January 12, 1964. His father is James Liautaud, long-term entrepreneur, and his mother is Gina Gudaityte Liautaud. He was born the second of four siblings, with brothers Greg and Robby Liautaud and a sister Lara Liautaud Berry. He attended high school at Elgin Academy, a private prep school in Elgin, Illinois, where he became close with and was influenced by the dean, James Lyons.
He studied at Eastern Illinois University, but left after one semester to grow his up-and-coming restaurant business.
## Restaurant career {#restaurant_career}
After Liautaud graduated from high school in 1982, his father offered him a loan of \$25,000 to open a business on the condition that if the business failed, he would enlist in the US Army. Although his father wanted him to enlist, he agreed to loan the money in exchange for a 48% stake in the business. Initially Jimmy John wanted to open a hot dog stand, but after visiting numerous such stands throughout the summer of 1982, he realized the \$25,000 would not be enough for such a venture. After a chance encounter at a sandwich shop, Jimmy John realized that he could open a sandwich shop within his available budget by purchasing premium meats at a neighborhood market and baking his own bread. With the help of his family as tasters, he decided to put four sandwiches on his original menu. On January 13, 1983, Jimmy John\'s Gourmet Sandwiches opened in Charleston, Illinois. Due to the poor location of his first store, Liautaud decided to include delivery of his sandwiches to boost sales. He began by bringing samples door-to-door to the nearby Eastern Illinois University dorms. By the end of his first year, the restaurant started making a profit. At the end of his second year, Liautaud was able to purchase his father\'s share in the business and he became sole owner. The business continued to grow, and he was able to open his second and third shops in 1986 and 1987.
In 1988, Liautaud met businessman Jamie Coulter. At the time, Coulter was a Pizza Hut Franchisee, and later founded and ran Lone Star Steakhouse and Saloon and other chains. Coulter helped Liautaud take his business to the next level. In 1994 he sold his first Jimmy John\'s franchise, in addition to the 10 stores owned by Liautaud himself.
By 2002, the company had about 200 stores, 10% of which were corporate stores that Liautaud oversaw himself. Sales at the stores managed by Liautaud were outpacing the franchised stores by a wide margin. Together with his partner, and now President & CEO, James North, he visited 70 of the poorest-performing stores. After 18 months of getting the stores "back to basics" and instilling in them "some of that initial spark", he was able to help the stores become more profitable.
In January 2007, Liautaud selected Weston Presidio, a private-equity firm, to help acquire better locations for the expanding company. Weston Presidio bought a 33% stake in the company, and during the first year closed on over 100 real estate deals.
In September 2016, Roark Capital Group agreed to purchase a majority stake in Liautaud\'s company, as Weston Presidio sold their minority investment after 10 years. Terms of the transaction were not immediately disclosed, though it was later clarified that Liautaud retained 35% ownership of the company as part of the deal. As part of the agreement, Liautaud, as the company\'s founder and largest individual shareholder, continued as chairman of the board.
In his 2018 book, Dick Portillo of Portillo\'s Restaurants called Liautaud his \"good friend\" and relayed that Liautaud tried to buy Portillo\'s before it was ultimately sold to Berkshire Partners.
In September 2019, Roark\'s Inspire Brands announced it was acquiring Jimmy John\'s for an unspecified amount in a deal unanimously approved by Liautaud and the rest of the Jimmy John\'s board of directors. At the close of the deal, Liautaud said that he will step down as chairman of the company and transition to become an advisor to the brand. The acquisition was completed on October 18.

## Philanthropy
In 2008, Liautaud donated \$1 million to his high school, Elgin Academy, on the condition that the building constructed using his donation bear not only his name, but also the name of the man who had been the dean of the school when Liautaud attended: James Lyons. In 2011, Liautaud and his wife pledged \$1 million toward the construction of the new Champaign County YMCA.
In July 2014, Liautaud donated \$1 million to the Folds of Honor Foundation, an organization that supports the spouses and children of America\'s fallen and disabled service-members.
In 2017, Liautaud and his wife, Leslie, donated \$2 million to help Brewster Academy kick off the fundraising for their new residence hall to house 22 students and 4 faculty residences. In May 2018, the new residence opened, and is called \"Toad Hall\" after a common mispronunciation of the family\'s last name.
In January 2019, Camp Southern Ground, a non-profit summer camp founded by musician Zac Brown, announced that the Liautauds had donated over \$3.2 million to date to help build the camp\'s first residential lodge and fund ongoing operations. In non-summer months, the camp\'s facilities are used to support military veterans and their families transitioning back to civilian life.
The Liautaud Family Foundation directed \$1.291 million to the Horatio Alger Association to support scholarships for underprivileged students in 2019.
Liautaud partnered with his father to create with an endowment gift of \$5 million, the Liautaud Graduate School of Business at the University of Illinois-Chicago.
The Liautauds donated \$1 million to Chicago\'s Youth Guidance Becoming a Man program, which helps disadvantaged young men learn how to handle tough life challenges and give them the tools to succeed in the future.
Other causes supported by the Liautauds include: the Frances Nelson Smile Healthy Dental Clinic, the Kickapoo Rail Trail, Crisis Nursery in Urbana, Illinois, Champaign County\'s Youth Assessment Center, Champaign Unit 4 schools, Christmas layaway purchases, the American Heart Association, the Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine, MD Anderson, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, the Lurie Children\'s Hospital of Chicago, the Goodman Theater, and the Detroit Symphony.
### Political donations {#political_donations}
Together with his spouse, Liautaud contributed \$212,000 to Donald Trump\'s 2020 presidential campaign. He has also contributed to the legal defense fund of Rudy Giuliani.

## Public speaking {#public_speaking}
Liautaud has spoken at high schools; colleges and universities; and community spaces.
## Hunting
Liautaud is an avid hunter and fisherman. In an interview in 2015 with the *Chicago Tribune*, Liautaud said that the largest misconception about him is that people still connect him to photos of him posing with big game from 10 years ago. According to Liautaud, he used to hunt big game in Africa on legally organized safaris, but he no longer does. Starting in 2015, his hunting prompted people to call for a boycott of his business.

# Spear (liturgy)
The **Spear** (*lónchē*; *Kopìé*) or **Lance** is a liturgical implement used during the Divine Liturgy in the Byzantine Rite of the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Eastern Catholic Churches.
## Significance
The Spear symbolizes the lance of Longinus that was used at the time of Christ\'s death on the Cross to pierce his side, from which flowed blood and water (`{{bibleverse||John|19:34}}`{=mediawiki}). This event is traditionally interpreted as prefiguring the Sacred Mysteries (Sacraments) of the Eucharist and Baptism.
## Form
The Spear is one of the Sacred Vessels usually kept on the Table of Oblation (Prothesis), where the bread and wine are prepared for the Eucharist. Often when a Chalice and Diskos (Paten) are made, an Asterisk and a Spoon and Spear will be made to match them. The Spear is normally made of precious metal (or at least plated with silver and/or gold), has a point sharp enough to cut the bread, and will often have a cross at the end of the handle.
## Liturgical use {#liturgical_use}
The Spear is used during the Liturgy of Preparation when the priest cuts the Lamb (Host) out of the Prosphoron (loaf of leavened bread) which will be consecrated to become the Body of Christ. The Spear is also used before Holy Communion to cut the Lamb into pieces for the clergy and faithful to communicate from.
In the Euchologion there is also a special Prayer of the Spear which may be said by the priest when one is sick.
The Spear, being a sanctified object, may not be used for any purpose other than the liturgical uses for which it is appointed

# Norwegian rigsdaler
The **rigsdaler specie** was a unit of silver currency used in Norway from 1544, renamed as the **speciedaler** in 1816 and used until 1873. Norway used a common reichsthaler currency system shared with Denmark, Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein until 1873 when the gold standard was implemented in Scandinavia and the German Empire.
## Rigsdaler specie {#rigsdaler_specie}
The reichsthaler currency system used in Northern Europe until 1873 consisted of the silver Reichsthaler specie (*Rigsdaler specie*) worth 120 *skillings* in Norway and Denmark, and the lower-valued *Rigsdaler courant* worth `{{frac|4|5}}`{=mediawiki}th of specie or 96 *skillings* (both units worth 60 and 48 *schellingen*, respectively, in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein). The Hamburg Bank equated 9`{{frac|4}}`{=mediawiki} reichsthalers specie to a Cologne Mark of fine silver, hence 25.28 g silver in a *rigsdaler specie*.
### Coins
In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, coins were issued in denominations of 1, 2, 4, 8 and 24 skilling, `{{frac|1|15}}`{=mediawiki}, `{{frac|1|5}}`{=mediawiki}, `{{frac|1|3}}`{=mediawiki}, `{{frac|1|2}}`{=mediawiki}, `{{frac|2|3}}`{=mediawiki} and 1 rigsdaler specie.
### Banknotes
In 1695, government notes were issued for 10, 20, 25, 50 and 100 rigsdaler (spelt rixdaler). In 1807, notes were reintroduced by the government, in denominations of 1, 5, 10 and 100 rigsdaler courant, with 12 skilling notes added in 1810. In 1813, Rigsbankens Norske Avdeling began issuing notes. in denominations of 1, 5, 50, and 100 Rigsbankdaler. Subsequent series were issued by Norges Midlertidige Rigsbank (1814), Stattholderbevis (1815), and Norges Bank (1817--22 to the present).
## Norwegian Speciedaler {#norwegian_speciedaler}
After the Napoleonic Wars Denmark dropped out of the system described above in favor of a lower-valued Danish rigsdaler. However Norway retained the system even after its union with Sweden, renaming the specie coin as the *Speciedaler* but still divided into 120 *skillings*.
It was replaced by the Norwegian krone when Norway joined the Scandinavian Monetary Union. An equal valued krone/krona of the monetary union replaced the three currencies at the rate of 1 krone/krona = `{{Frac|2}}`{=mediawiki} Danish rigsdaler = `{{frac|4}}`{=mediawiki} Norwegian speciedaler = 1 Swedish riksdaler.
### Coins {#coins_1}
In 1816, coins in circulation from the previous currency remained in circulation, with only 1 skilling coins being minted. A new coinage was introduced in 1819, consisting of copper 1 and 2 skilling and silver 8 and 24 skilling, `{{frac|2}}`{=mediawiki} and 1 specidaler. Silver 2 and 4 skilling coins were introduced in 1825, followed by copper `{{frac|2}}`{=mediawiki} skilling pieces in 1839, silver 12 skilling in 1845 and silver 3 skilling in 1868.

# Downham, Essex
**Downham** is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of South Hanningfield, in the City of Chelmsford district, Essex, England. It is located approximately 7 mi south of the county town of Chelmsford. The village is in the parliamentary constituency of Rayleigh; however, the closest two towns are Billericay, 3 + 1/2 mi west-south-west, and Wickford, 2 + 1/4 mi south-east. In 1931, the parish had a population of 833.
## History
There is evidence of Roman remains in the village suggesting it was originally of pre-Saxon origin, though it is not in the Domesday Book of 1086. The hilltop parish church is dedicated to St Margaret. The oldest section of the church is a 10`{{frac|1|2}}`{=mediawiki} ft by 11 ft square redbrick tower from the late 15th or early 16th century. However, Christians have been recorded as worshipping on the site for over one thousand years. The nave of the church was restored in the nineteenth century, using some material from an earlier 13th-century building, and the interior was refurbished in the 1970s after a fire in March 1977. An ancient Field Maple lies north of the church. The village is home to *Downham Hall*, which was once the home of the De Beauvoir family; the building which currently stands is smaller than the original 17th-century mansion.
On 1 October 1934 the parish was abolished and merged with South Hanningfield.
## Geography
Downham has approximately 200 households. The village has an elevation of 188 ft above sea level, and the parish had an area of 2152 acre. The village is close to Hanningfield Reservoir, with its southwest bank being half a mile north from the village centre

# List of Suzuka characters
This is a list of characters of the manga and anime series *Suzuka* and its sequel *Fuuka*.
## Akitsuki family {#akitsuki_family}
### Suzuka Asahina {#suzuka_asahina}
:
-
: The titular heroine of the series, she is a talented female high jumper from Yokohama that was scouted by many famous high schools because of her skill. While in Tokyo, she lives in Ayano's dormitory, next door to Yamato. She is a serious athlete that puts a lot of pressure on herself to perform so she does not disappoint others. At first, she has a very cold attitude toward Yamato, but according to her sister, Suzuka only shows her arrogant and somewhat moody attitude to someone she likes, thus showing the characteristics of a tsundere. Because of her past with Kazuki, she was reluctant to express her feelings toward Yamato and ended up trying to push him away for a very long time. Her reaction in the manga and anime was to slap him repeatedly the first time he kissed her. Later in the manga, after they had gone out a short while, he tried to kiss her again and was met with another slap. Then, after a misunderstanding, Suzuka threatened to slap him again, and when he closed his eyes she kissed him, followed up with yet another slap to the face. After a while, she finally admits to herself and to Yamato that she has liked him since the first time they met, and they begin dating.
```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
: Their relationship was rocky from the start because of Yamato's carelessness and Suzuka\'s guarded attitude to her thoughts and feelings. She decides to take the offer to study abroad from Sasoka, claiming the training standards are higher and she will benefit more, but it was really because Yamato complimented her on how cool she looked during her high-jump. After the time-skip, Suzuka moved back into her room next door to Yamato. She, like Yamato, was recommended to Seijo University, which she plans on attending. After Yamato told her he wanted to rekindle their relationship, she was against the idea because she was afraid that if they date again, they will begin to hate each other and drift apart. When Yamato shows his devotion to her, they get back together. Things once again became unsettled after Yamato tries to further their relationship to a physical one. She reacted by slapping him when he groped her. After he apologized, she stated that she was simply nervous of the idea, but that if he wanted to, she would take that step forward. After being caught on their secret trip by her father, she is forced to move back home. Meanwhile she feels ill. After Yamato works out the problems with his father, he convinces her to go get the illness checked out. When she comes out, she reveals that the illness was actually morning sickness, as she is three months pregnant. She initially decides to have an abortion because she doesn\'t want to disappoint their families and friends. However, after much discussion with Yamato, they both decided to keep the baby and get married, and decided to drop out of the university. Even though Yamato has to get employed to support his new family, Suzuka wants him to get a job in a company which has a track team. Their child was revealed to be a girl named Fūka.
```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
: In the manga sequel, *Fuuka*, Suzuka\'s full name is now **Suzuka Akitsuki** after marrying Yamato. While Suzuka is a loving wife and mother, she and Yamato still fight, often over their children. While Yamato tried to get Fuuka to follow in their footsteps as a track and field athlete, Suzuka disagreed and wanted their daughter to be whatever she chose to be. Suzuka and Yamato have a second daughter named Haruka (春花, \"spring, flower\"; name revealed in *Fuuka* chapter 74), but their first child, Fuuka, dies in a car accident at age 15.
```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
: The given name for Suzuka is derived from the Imperial Japanese Navy destroyer *Sukukaze*. In Chapter 174 of *A Town Where You Live*, she is seen with Akari, Kiyomi and Nanami in a bath. She and Fūka make a brief appearance at Fantasy Land in Chapter 126, on board a train in Chapter 257, and in both the OVA\'s.

Later on, she decides to form a band with Yuu, which is named \"The Fallen Moon\" after her surname, and becomes the band\'s vocalist. They successfully perform at their school\'s school festival. Her fate is different between the manga and the anime adaptation. In the manga, she dies in an accident after she is hit by a truck. In the anime, the truck stops before it could hit her.

```{=html}

Her death sends Yuu into a deep depression due to that they had just starting dating and her presence had a profound effect on him. But her death inspires him to continue her goal in becoming a famous band with their friends, and they name band \"Fallen Moon\", which was her suggestion prior to her death.

## Akitsuki family {#akitsuki_family}
### Yamato Akitsuki {#yamato_akitsuki}
:
-
: The main protagonist of the series. He moved from his home in rural Hiroshima to his aunt's dormitory in Tokyo to change himself. While checking out his new high school, he sees a beautiful high jumper practicing and falls in love at first sight. By chance she happens to be his next door neighbor, Suzuka Asahina. Yamato is clumsy and has a carefree attitude, which often gets him into comprising situations. He has an almost spineless attitude when it comes to defending his position on a subject when confronted and his need to apologize constantly when he thinks he did something wrong makes him a generally weak willed character. When the need arises, he can become focused and determined. He is exceedingly clueless when it comes to girls and their feelings except for the fact the Suzuka is not your typical girl and would be hard for anyone to read. Although not the best in academics, he discovered a natural gift as a sprinter, and joined the track and field team. During his senior year of high school, he became a well-liked and respected track captain. Even though he did not achieve his goal of becoming first nationally during high school in the 100 meters, he was scouted and recommended to attend two universities, either Tohto University or Seijo University.
```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
: After being released from his promise with Saki and realizing that he was still in love with Suzuka, he decided to try for acceptance to Seijo University. When he confessed to Suzuka that he wanted to restart their relationship, she stated that she did not because of the fear of getting hurt. Through patience, understanding, and persistence, they made up. During Seijo University\'s track tryouts, Yamato performed poorly at the start of his race, but showed enough potential at the end for the Selection Committee to unanimously choose him for the scholarship. Pressured by Yasunobu, Yamato decided to take his relationship to the next level. Suzuka initially was against it, but Yamato sets her at ease and they take a step forward in the relationship. Three months later, he learns that Suzuka is pregnant. He is troubled by the decision of her having an abortion and going to the University or keeping the baby and skipping school to work. He admitted to Suzuka that he wants her to keep the baby. After much discussion between the two they both decided to keep the baby and get married, and decided to drop out of the university.

Seeing her opportunity, she begins to talk with him and they become friends. When Yamato joins the track team, she decides to become the manager so they do not grow apart. After a little while, she finally confesses her feelings to Yamato and they begin dating. The relationship lasts less than a month because of Yamato's carelessness and Honoka's own insecurities.

When she learns that Yamato and Suzuka are dating, she decides to quit being the track manager and take up an offer made by the modeling agency of her best friend, Nana.

She clearly still harbors feelings for him but being a popular model, she has become more confident and now can openly talk with him. While at the beach, she asked Yamato if they should be a couple again but in a fit of nervousness played it off as a joke but then asked again.

He is a ladies\' man that, according to Yamato, prefers perverted stuff over eating. He dreams of dating all the girls in the world and the legalization of polygyny in Japan. Yasunobu is often giving relationship advice to Yamato, with rather amusing results, due to the latter\'s being clueless and tendency to screw up. Even though he sometimes gets Yamato in bad situations, he usually has Yamato's best interests in mind. Much to Yamato and Miki\'s surprise, Yasunobu has been a straight \"A\" student during high school. Yasunobu and Miki recently have made cameos in Chapter 67 of A Town Where You Live where they were meeting each other during Haruto\'s class trip to Tokyo.

However, once she realized that Suzuka\'s distant nature resulted from her perfectionist tendencies and dedication to her sport, Miki came to respect Suzuka and they became friends. Although initially attracted to Yamato Akitsuki, upon realizing he was infatuated with her best friend Suzuka, she immediately puts a hold on her own feelings. Miki is extremely loyal to her friends and will do anything to help them. She meddles constantly in their affairs and can be quite incessant in forcing them to confront their feelings.

#### Ayano Fujikawa {#ayano_fujikawa}

Even though her husband is deceased, she continues to wear her wedding band.
#### Miho Fujikawa {#miho_fujikawa}

-
: A boisterous busybody college student from rural Akita that lives in Ayano's dormitory. She likes to drink and usually ends up in Yamato's room with her best friend Megumi.

Even though she considers her relationship with Yamato to be "master and slave", she often tries to help him with his relationship problems and has admitted that she worries about him. He also seems to be one of the few people she can be vulnerable with. In fact, Yamato is the only one that she has told about her one sided love for Sasaoka, who she has liked since high school. She had confessed to him fifteen times, but Sasaoka took it as a joke because she never seriously followed through. These rejections had a profound impact on her life, driving her to change her appearance and her dating behavior. Before Sasaoka left for the United States, Yamato took her to the airport so she could finally convince him of her feelings. Even though she finally got through to him, he revealed he is already engaged to be married next year. She took this rejection well, claiming that she felt refreshed and not as devastated as she originally thought. After thanking Yamato, she proclaimed she will become a better woman and find an even better man. She has since returned her appearance to the way it was when Yamato first met her.

She has expressed the desire to become married.
: The character name is likely a nod to Japanese voice actress Megumi Matsumoto.

### Track Athletes {#track_athletes}
#### Kazuki Tsuda {#kazuki_tsuda}
:
-
: When Suzuka and Sōichi were in middle school, Kazuki was their track captain, and was ranked first in the 100 meter. The similarities between him and Yamato are a striking resemblance in terms of looks, personality, and running talent. During track practices, he and Suzuka would often fight because she wanted practices to be serious and he wanted them to be fun. Before the national tournament, he confessed to her and told her not to answer until he had won. On the day of the tournament, when running home to get his spikes that he forgot, he was hit and killed by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel. His death has since weighed heavily on Suzuka, since she never confessed to him that she reciprocated his feelings for her.
: The character surname is likely derived from Japanese baseball player Tsunemi Tsuda of the Hiroshima Toyo Carp.
#### Tetsuhito Kinugasa {#tetsuhito_kinugasa}
:
-
: The track captain when Yamato first joined the team. He competes in shot put and is often seen putting Yamato in a headlock or making him do extra training. His name (Tetsuhito) literally means \"Iron man\". He has high expectations for Yamato, so much that during actual tournaments he will not watch Yamato run and often resorts to hiding behind a tree. Even though he has graduated and is now attending Seijō University, he still comes to check on the high school track team. After learning that Yamato and Suzuka got recommendations for Seijō, he offered to show Yamato and Suzuka around the campus. He was personally training Yamato before the start of the academic term, until Yamato decided enter the workforce instead of attending the University. Tetsuhito expressed his disappointment that Yamato did not confide his problems with him. He also made sure that Yamato understood the consequence of his and Suzuka\'s decision to drop out, since that would mean that Seijō University would probably no longer take members of their high school any more for selections. After seeing Yamato and Suzuka apologizing to the high school track club, he expresses support for their choice.
: The character name is derived from Japanese baseball player Sachio Kinugasa of the Hiroshima Toyo Carp, whose nickname was *Tetsujin* (鉄人, lit. *Man of Steel*) itself derived from Tetsujin 28-go.
#### Soichi Miyamoto {#soichi_miyamoto}
:
-
: One of the members of the track team and captain after Kinugasa graduates. A classmate of Suzuka\'s from junior high school. After hearing about Yamato\'s performance in physical tests, he actively persuades Yamato to join the track team. When Yamato came to him to help with making better times, he analyzed that data, found that Yamato was reaching his top speed too early, and made a training regimen for him. He believes Yamato has the potential to surpass Kazuki\'s skill. Before graduating, he chose Yamato to become the next track captain. He is currently part of Tōto University\'s track team and was influential in Yamato getting his recommendation. Even though Yamato eventually chose to attend Seijō, he still wanted him to perform his best.
: The character name is derived from legendary Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi.
#### Arima Emerson {#arima_emerson}
:
-
: He is Yamato\'s main track rival, who is ranked first nationally in the 100 meter sprint. He initially went to Tōto University High School. During junior high school, he was always beaten by Kazuki, which is still a touchy subject for him. Like Suzuka, he took up the offer to study abroad in United States, during which he stayed informed about Yamato\'s running times back in Japan. Afterward, he decided to go Tōto University and run for their track team. He indirectly helped Yamato realize that Suzuka and their unborn child was more important to him than track which led to Yamato\'s decision to not attend university and become employed to support his family. Near the end of the series, he still expresses hopes that he will have a chance to compete with Yamato in the Olympics. He went on to represent Japan in the 100m sprint.
: The character name is derived from Brazilian striker Emerson who played for the Urawa Red Diamonds and the Arima clan of Feudal Japan.
#### Kenji Kobayakawa {#kenji_kobayakawa}
:
-
: A hard working sprinter of the track team who was on an athletic scholarship. Even though he is a talented sprinter, he is not as fast as Yamato in the 100 meters. He dislikes Yamato because he outperforms him in track and Honoka, the girl he liked, had only had eyes for Yamato. Like Yamato, he was scouted by the universities in his senior year at high school. When Yamato and Suzuka told the high school track club that they dropped out of Seijō University, he was the only member that was upset about their decision. A running joke through the series is that he is often forgotten about by the other characters. He went on to represent Japan in the 200m race.
```{=html}

: The character name is derived from Japanese baseball player Takehiko Kobayakawa of the Hiroshima Toyo Carp.
#### Tsuyoshi Kusakabe {#tsuyoshi_kusakabe}
:
: He is one of classmates of Miho\'s. He has liked Miho for a long time, but has had little success with winning her affections. During his first year in high school, he joined the track team and it\'s implied that he hung around Miho, who\'s usually with Yamato, as much as possible. On the track team, he became arrogant when he was not under Yamato\'s supervision. This caused Yamato to treat Tsuyoshi in a similar fashion as Kinugasa treated Yamato. With support from Miho and Suzuka and with Yamato\'s guidance, he was able to take first place at the rookie track meet.
: The character surname is likely derived from the Kusakabe clan of Feudal Japan.

Seeing the state he was in, she tried to comfort him both physically and emotionally, but found that he did not reciprocate her feelings.

Later on, he comes back to Japan to make wedding preparations, during which he was contacted by Suzuka about any employment opportunities for Yamato.

# Frederick Rose (surgeon)
**Frederick A. Rose** (died July 1873) was a British naval surgeon who was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1858 for aiding American naval personnel aboard the `{{USS|Susquehanna|1850|6}}`{=mediawiki} who had contracted yellow fever.
When the *Susquehanna* arrived at Port Royal, Jamaica stricken by an epidemic of yellow fever, the British Royal Navy, under the command of Admiral Sir Houston Stewart placed the naval hospital there at their disposal, and eighty-five of the crew were taken ashore by the boats of the British squadron. Assistant-Surgeon Frederick A. Rose volunteered to join the *Susquehanna*, at some personal risk to himself (as it was not proved, by Walter Reed, that the virus was transmitted by mosquitoes rather than direct human contact until 1900) and took the care of the sick remaining on board on the voyage from Jamaica to New York City.
It was the first time a Congressional Gold Medal was given to any non-member of the US military

# Admittance parameters
**Admittance parameters** or **Y-parameters** (the elements of an **admittance matrix** or **Y-matrix**) are properties used in many areas of electrical engineering, such as power, electronics, and telecommunications. These parameters are used to describe the electrical behavior of linear electrical networks. They are also used to describe the small-signal (linearized) response of non-linear networks. Y parameters are also known as short circuited admittance parameters. They are members of a family of similar parameters used in electronic engineering, other examples being: S-parameters, Z-parameters, H-parameters, T-parameters or ABCD-parameters.
## The Y-parameter matrix {#the_y_parameter_matrix}
A Y-parameter matrix describes the behaviour of any linear electrical network that can be regarded as a black box with a number of ports. A *port* in this context is a pair of electrical terminals carrying equal and opposite currents into and out of the network, and having a particular voltage between them. The Y-matrix gives no information about the behaviour of the network when the currents at any port are not balanced in this way (should this be possible), nor does it give any information about the voltage between terminals not belonging to the same port. Typically, it is intended that each external connection to the network is between the terminals of just one port, so that these limitations are appropriate.
For a generic multi-port network definition, it is assumed that each of the ports is allocated an integer `{{mvar|n}}`{=mediawiki} ranging from 1 to `{{mvar|N}}`{=mediawiki}, where `{{mvar|N}}`{=mediawiki} is the total number of ports. For port `{{mvar|n}}`{=mediawiki}, the associated Y-parameter definition is in terms of the port voltage and port current, `{{mvar|V{{sub|n}}}}`{=mediawiki} and `{{mvar|I{{sub|n}}}}`{=mediawiki} respectively.
For all ports the currents may be defined in terms of the Y-parameter matrix and the voltages by the following matrix equation:
$$I = Y V\,$$
where Y is an `{{math|''N'' × ''N''}}`{=mediawiki} matrix the elements of which can be indexed using conventional matrix notation. In general the elements of the Y-parameter matrix are complex numbers and functions of frequency. For a one-port network, the Y-matrix reduces to a single element, being the ordinary admittance measured between the two terminals.
## Two-port networks {#two_port_networks}
The Y-parameter matrix for the two-port network is probably the most common. In this case the relationship between the port voltages, port currents and the Y-parameter matrix is given by:
$$\begin{pmatrix}I_1 \\ I_2\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} Y_{11} & Y_{12} \\ Y_{21} & Y_{22} \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}V_1 \\ V_2\end{pmatrix}$$.
where
$$\begin{align}
Y_{11} &= {I_1 \over V_1 } \bigg|_{V_2 = 0} \qquad Y_{12} = {I_1 \over V_2 } \bigg|_{V_1 = 0} \\[8pt]
Y_{21} &= {I_2 \over V_1 } \bigg|_{V_2 = 0} \qquad Y_{22} = {I_2 \over V_2 } \bigg|_{V_1 = 0}
\end{align}$$
For the general case of an `{{mvar|n}}`{=mediawiki}-port network,
$$Y_{nm} = {I_n \over V_m } \bigg|_{V_k = 0 \text{ for } k \ne m}$$
### Admittance relations {#admittance_relations}
The input admittance of a two-port network is given by:
$$Y_{in} = Y_{11} - \frac{Y_{12}Y_{21}}{Y_{22}+Y_L}$$
where `{{mvar|Y<sub>L</sub>}}`{=mediawiki} is the admittance of the load connected to port two.
Similarly, the output admittance is given by:
$$Y_{out} = Y_{22} - \frac{Y_{12}Y_{21}}{Y_{11}+Y_S}$$
where `{{mvar|Y<sub>S</sub>}}`{=mediawiki} is the admittance of the source connected to port one.

# Admittance parameters
## Relation to S-parameters {#relation_to_s_parameters}
The Y-parameters of a network are related to its S-parameters by
$$\begin{align}
Y &= \sqrt{y} (I_N - S) (I_N + S)^{-1} \sqrt{y} \\
&= \sqrt{y} (I_N + S)^{-1} (I_N - S) \sqrt{y} \\
\end{align}$$
and
$$\begin{align}
S &= (I_N - \sqrt{z}Y\sqrt{z}) (I_N + \sqrt{z}Y\sqrt{z})^{-1} \\
&= (I_N + \sqrt{z}Y\sqrt{z})^{-1} (I_N - \sqrt{z}Y\sqrt{z}) \\
\end{align}$$
where `{{mvar|I{{sub|N}}}}`{=mediawiki} is the identity matrix, $\sqrt{y}$ is a diagonal matrix having the square root of the characteristic admittance (the reciprocal of the characteristic impedance) at each port as its non-zero elements,
$\sqrt{y} = \begin{pmatrix}
\sqrt{y_{01}} & \\
& \sqrt{y_{02}} \\
& & \ddots \\
& & & \sqrt{y_{0N}}
\end{pmatrix}$
and $\sqrt{z} = (\sqrt{y})^{-1}$ is the corresponding diagonal matrix of square roots of characteristic impedances. In these expressions the matrices represented by the bracketed factors commute and so, as shown above, may be written in either order.
### Two port {#two_port}
In the special case of a two-port network, with the same and real characteristic admittance $y_{01} = y_{02} = Y_0$ at each port, the above expressions reduce to
$$\begin{align}
Y_{11} &= {(1 - S_{11}) (1 + S_{22}) + S_{12} S_{21} \over \Delta_S} Y_0 \\
Y_{12} &= {-2 S_{12} \over \Delta_S} Y_0 \\[4pt]
Y_{21} &= {-2 S_{21} \over \Delta_S} Y_0 \\[4pt]
Y_{22} &= {(1 + S_{11}) (1 - S_{22}) + S_{12} S_{21} \over \Delta_S} Y_0
\end{align}$$
where
$$\Delta_S = (1 + S_{11}) (1 + S_{22}) - S_{12} S_{21} .$$
The above expressions will generally use complex numbers for $S_{ij}$ and $Y_{ij}$. Note that the value of $\Delta$ can become 0 for specific values of $S_{ij}$ so the division by $\Delta$ in the calculations of $Y_{ij}$ may lead to a division by 0.
The two-port S-parameters may also be obtained from the equivalent two-port Y-parameters by means of the following expressions.
$$\begin{align}
S_{11} &= {(1 - Z_0 Y_{11}) (1 + Z_0 Y_{22}) + Z^2_0 Y_{12} Y_{21} \over \Delta} \\
S_{12} &= {-2 Z_0 Y_{12} \over \Delta} \\[4pt]
S_{21} &= {-2 Z_0 Y_{21} \over \Delta} \\[4pt]
S_{22} &= {(1 + Z_0 Y_{11}) (1 - Z_0 Y_{22}) + Z^2_0 Y_{12} Y_{21} \over \Delta}
\end{align}$$
where
$$\Delta = (1 + Z_0 Y_{11}) (1 + Z_0 Y_{22}) - Z^2_0 Y_{12} Y_{21} \,$$
and $Z_0$ is the characteristic impedance at each port (assumed the same for the two ports).
## Relation to Z-parameters {#relation_to_z_parameters}
Conversion from Z-parameters to Y-parameters is much simpler, as the Y-parameter matrix is just the inverse of the Z-parameter matrix. The following expressions show the applicable relations:
$$\begin{align}
Y_{11} &= {Z_{22} \over |Z|} \\[4pt]
Y_{12} &= {-Z_{12} \over |Z|} \\[4pt]
Y_{21} &= {-Z_{21} \over |Z|} \\[4pt]
Y_{22} &= {Z_{11} \over |Z|}
\end{align}$$
where
$$|Z| = Z_{11} Z_{22} - Z_{12} Z_{21} \,$$
In this case $|Z|$ is the determinant of the Z-parameter matrix.
Vice versa the Y-parameters can be used to determine the Z-parameters, essentially using the same expressions since
$$Y = Z^{-1} \,$$
and
$$Z = Y^{-1}

# Simchah ben Abraham Calimani
**Simchah (Simon) ben Abraham Calimani** (1699 -- August 2, 1784) was a Venetian rabbi and author. He was a versatile writer, and equally prominent as linguist, poet, orator, and Talmudist. During his rabbinate Calimani was engaged as corrector at the Hebrew printing office in Venice. Among the great number of books revised by him was the responsum of David ben Zimra (RaDBaZ), to which he added an index, and the *Yad Ḥaruẓim* (on Hebrew versification) of Gerson Ḥefeẓ, enriched with interesting notes of his own.
Calimani was the author of the following works: (1) *II Rabbino Morale-Toscano*, an Italian translation of the Mishnah treatise Abot (in collaboration with Jacob Saraval, Venice, 1729, often reprinted); (2) *Kelale Diḳduḳe Leshon \'Eber*, a Hebrew grammar inserted at the end of the Bible, edited at Venice, 1739; (3) *Grammatica Ebrea*, an Italian translation of the preceding work, Venice, 1751; Pisa, 1815; (4) *Ḳol Simḥah* (Voice of Joy), an allegorical drama, with Jealousy, Folly, and Wisdom as the heroes, Venice, 1758; (5) a Hebrew-Italian dictionary, left unfinished.
Calimani was liberal in his religious views, and took part in the campaign directed by Wessely against the delivery of casuistic lectures (pilpul) in the synagogues

# Mitch Ward
**Mitchum David Ward** (born 19 June 1971) is an English retired professional footballer who played in the English Football League and the Premier League for Sheffield United, Crewe Alexandra, Everton, Barnsley and York City.
## Career
Born in Sheffield, Ward started his career at his local club Sheffield United after graduating through the youth ranks. He was promoted to the first team alongside his best friend in professional football, left-winger Dane Whitehouse, who also enjoyed a consistent run in the first eleven. Despite Ward\'s versatility, he initially struggled to hold down a starting place each week. He went on loan with Dario Gradi\'s Crewe Alexandra where he played 7 times scoring once in the league and again in the Football League Cup.
Ward returned to United full of confidence but was frustrated by former Blades manager Dave Bassett\'s rotation policy. Following a match with Watford in the First Division, Ward scored twice yet still found himself on the bench for the following game. It could be argued that Ward\'s inability to keep his place was not due to his form, but more due to his versatility, something that would be as much a burden for Ward as it would a strength. Indeed, throughout 7 years, Ward had played in every area except goal. But for much of his time, when he was in the side, Ward could be found roaming his favoured position, the right-wing before then Blades manager Howard Kendall (who had replaced Bassett in December 1995) converted the versatile pro into an all-action full-back, it was in this position that Ward played arguably his best football. During this time Ward became known as a lethal penalty taker with a composure not often seen in a utility player. He spent 8 years in total with Sheff Utd before being sold to Howard Kendall\'s Everton for £750,000 on 25 November 1997. Kendall had returned to the Toffees after missing out on promotion with the Blades and raided his former club not only for Ward but for United\'s then-record signing Don Hutchison and journeyman centre-back Carl Tiler.
Ward\'s life in Liverpool was not so great. He got off to a bad start as he was on the losing side against Chelsea conceding a penalty in a 0-2 defeat only a day after signing. Following this nightmare start, Ward toiled hard to make an impression in a lacklustre Everton side. But he only had a run of four games before picking up a hamstring injury. An unproductive come-back in February 1998 consisted of only another four matches before he finally succumbed to what was diagnosed as bad ankle ligament damage. However it would be another two months before the true problem was revealed, a fracture of the ankle. Ward would not appear for the Toffees again until October 1998. By this time Howard Kendall had been replaced with former Rangers manager Walter Smith. Smith decided to bring Ward back into the cauldron of the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, Ward did not let him down, showing glimpses of a return to his previous excellent Sheff United form. Ward\'s reward was the Captain\'s armband the following season in an ill-fated Football League Cup tie against Oxford. Again, injury was to keep Ward out for much of 1999--2000 season and it was no surprise when his name was linked with a return to Bramall Lane. Overall, he made less than 30 appearances in a three-year span, never finding the back of the net and with a quarter of them coming from the subs bench, his final game was an away match with Leeds United on 8 May 2000. He was eventually sold at the end of the 1999--2000 season to Barnsley for £200,000.
Ward enjoyed his return to his Yorkshire roots and found a new lease of life in a more central role, operating primarily in defensive midfield ironically under the tutelage of former manager Dave Bassett. Ward spent 3 years at Oakwell, a vital first-team player before being released on a free and joining the youngest manager in the League, Chris Brass at York City.
Ward was a popular player at Bootham Crescent. However, he left before the end of his first and only season with the Minstermen over a contract dispute. Ward played out his professional career with non-league outfit Altrincham whom he joined in 2004

# Lance Mackey
**Lance Mackey** (June 2, 1970 -- September 7, 2022) was an American dog musher and dog sled racer from Fairbanks, Alaska. Mackey was a four-time winner of both the 1,000 mi Yukon Quest and the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
## Early life {#early_life}
Lance was born on June 2, 1970, in Anchorage into a family of sled dog mushers. His father, Dick Mackey, was one of the founders of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, and won the event by a one second margin over Rick Swenson in 1978. Lance\'s half-brother Rick Mackey also won the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in 1983. All three of them won the race on their sixth attempt while wearing bib number 13.
Mackey raced from the time he was a child; his father recalls building a sled for Lance as soon as he was old enough to hold on and then, watching him enter and win his very first race. However, technically speaking, Mackey\'s first race was from the comfort of his mother\'s womb, as she placed fourth in the Women\'s North American Championships while seven months pregnant with Lance.
Mackey\'s parents divorced at a young age. As a teenager, Lance reports being arrested multiple times for various charges. After living with her for some time, his mother eventually sent Lance to live with his father at the Coldfoot Truck stop. From there, Lance transitioned into a life as a fisherman before eventually returning to his calling as a dog sled musher.
## Career
Lance Mackey\'s career as a sled dog musher began with his first appearance in the 2001 Iditarod--placing 36th out of the 57 who finished the race and winning a mere \$1046.00. By 2007, Mackey had quickly moved up the ranks to become the first person to win both the Yukon Quest and Iditarod in the same year. Mackey continued to set high standards: in 2008, he won the Tustumena 200, followed by his fourth consecutive Yukon Quest win and his second Iditarod win. While he chose not to run the Yukon Quest the next year, Lance captured his third consecutive Iditarod in 2009. In 2010, Mackey rejoined the fray, finishing second in the Yukon Quest and also securing his 4th consecutive Iditarod win before sliding out of the top ten in the 2011 race, much to the dismay of multiple news reporters. After his 2010 win, Mackey was unable to secure a position in the top 10 Iditarod finishers despite five different attempts. On May 7, 2020, the Iditarod announced that due to a failed drug test, Lance Mackey\'s 21st-place finish at the 2020 Iditarod would be vacated. Mackey\'s urine sample taken in White Mountain, a standard operating procedure for the first thirty mushers arriving at the checkpoint, tested positive for methamphetamine. After this setback, Mackey did not participate in the 2021 Iditarod.
## Kennel practices and dogs {#kennel_practices_and_dogs}
Mackey ran his kennel \"Comeback Kennel\" on a 5 acre plot of land near Fairbanks, Alaska. The sixty some dogs that he maintained have bloodlines dating back to one of his most legendary dogs, \"Zorro.\" Zorro was born in 2000 and at one point, Mackey\'s entire team was composed of Zorro\'s offspring. Unfortunately, Zorro\'s career was cut short after a snow-machine accident during the 2008 All-Alaskan Sweepstakes. While Zorro survived and regained the use of his legs after months of treatment, including acupuncture and physical therapy, he was unable to compete again.
Some of Mackey\'s practices at his kennel were criticized publicly, particularly the use of CBD treatment for his dogs. In response to criticism, Mackey defended his methods of care and argues that the use of CBD for sled dogs helps speed their recovery time. PETA criticized Mackey in a public statement claiming the cruelty of dog racing. Their public criticism followed the death of two of Lance\'s dogs due to unknown causes during the 2015 Iditarod.
## Personal life {#personal_life}
Mackey was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2001. Despite this, he did not let his diagnosis impede his career and entered the 2002 Iditarod race. However, he would not finish that race. Due to complications from his cancer treatment, including a feeding tube, Mackey was forced to scratch from that race and take a full year off from racing to recover. After radiation treatment that led to the degradation of his teeth, his cancer was deemed in remission. Cancer is not the only ailment that challenged Mackey. He also suffered from Raynaud\'s syndrome, a condition often triggered by cold. This syndrome, which caused immense pain in Mackey\'s finger, led him to voluntarily have his left index finger amputated.
In his personal life, Mackey openly struggled with addiction. After testing positive for methamphetamine during the 2020 Iditarod, Lance announced he would be checking himself into rehab. He has also previously spoken about his struggles with cocaine and alcohol.
Mackey has been married three times and divorced twice. On October 4, 2020, Mackey\'s partner, Jenne Smith, died in an ATV accident. Mackey and Smith had parented two children, Atigun and Lozen, who were both under the age of five at the time of the fatal accident.
Mackey died of throat cancer on September 7, 2022, at the age of 52.

# United Cigar Stores
**United Cigar Stores** was a chain of cigar stores in the United States that in its first quarter-century grew to nearly 3,000 shops. It eventually became part of the corporation that bought Marvel Comics and its parent company Magazine Management from their founder in 1968.
## History
Brothers Charles A. Whelan and George J. Whelan founded a tobacco wholesale firm in Syracuse, New York, in 1901, eventually turning to retail. By 1926, the chain had nearly 3,000 stores. Though initially specializing in cigars, it eventually sold many other items, such as Mickey Mouse watches and shoe trees. The chain represented the interests of the Consolidated Tobacco Company, the tobacco trust that controlled the American Tobacco Company and others. In September 1903 a settlement was reached with the chain\'s competitors and all competition ended.
In August 1929, the chain and the affiliated Whelan Drug chain, founded by two of Charles\' Whelan\'s sons, was sold to brothers George Kenan and Frederick Kenan Morrow. The company also was involved in real estate. As the Great Depression deepened, the real-estate subsidiary accumulated huge losses, so in September 1932 the holding company declared bankruptcy. Before its bankruptcy, it had 975 cigar stores and 219 drug stores, but most of its assets were in real estate. The chain recovered and had 1300 outlets in 1951.
## Corporate progression {#corporate_progression}
United Cigar Stores became part of United Cigar-Whelan Stores Corp., then United Whelan Corp. In 1962, it and three other companies merged to form Perfect Film & Chemical Corp., a film-processing and mail-order seller of drugs and vitamins. In 1968, it bought out publisher Martin Goodman, founder and owner of Magazine Management Company, the parent of Marvel Comics and other ventures. The Company renamed itself Cadence Industries Corporation in 1970, and was liquidated in 1986, selling its Marvel Entertainment Group to New World Pictures

# Rapid Racer
***Rapid Racer**\'\', known as***Turbo Prop Racing**\'\' in North America, is a racing video game developed and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation. In the game, the player takes control of a motorboat and races around six different tracks. Eventually, all six tracks can be raced mirrored, as well as set at night time.
By winning championships and completing bonus rounds (unlocked by five yellow icons during a race but first two-day tracks), players can unlock them which they can use to either upgrade their boat or unlock a higher-powered one.
## Gameplay
*Rapid Racer* was one of the first PlayStation games to take full advantage of the DualShock controller; the game allow steering with the analog sticks, and the gamepad vibrates during gameplay. The intensity of the vibrations depends on what type of water the player is in; calm rapids mean low vibrations, while heavier rapids give high vibrations.
After reaching a certain point in the game, players can unlock the Fractal Generator. This feature allows the player to select from a large number of tracks besides the normal six. Players can either allow the generator to randomly select a track or manually input their own.
## Development
Work on *Rapid Racer* began in 1995 at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. Six months were spent modeling the physics and behavior of the water. The European version of the game runs at 50 frames per second, while the North American version runs at 60 frames per second.
The game\'s soundtrack was composed by Apollo Four Forty (Loudmouth in *Turbo Prop Racing*). The game\'s main theme \"Carrera Rapida\" by Apollo 440 was released as a single and on their 1997 album *Electro Glide in Blue*.
## Reception
\| EPD = 8.5/10 \| Fam = 27/40 \| GI = 8.5/10 \| GameFan = 84% \| GameRev = A− \| GSpot = 4.5/10 \| IGN = 8/10 \| NGen = `{{Rating|4|5}}`{=mediawiki} \| OPM = `{{Rating|4|5}}`{=mediawiki} }}
*Rapid Racer* received above-average reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. In Japan, where the game was ported for release on 16 July 1998, *Famitsu* gave it a score of 27 out of 40.
*GameSpot* criticized the courses for being very narrow and limited, but praised the game\'s \"hip-hop/techno\" music, comparing it favorably to that of *Wipeout*. *Edge* highlighted the fluid graphics and frame rate, but criticized the unoriginal gameplay and unrealistic boat handling, which can frustrate players. The magazine concluded: \"As a technological showcase, *Rapid Racer* is a truly impressive achievement. As a game in its own right, however, it falls disappointingly short of the expectations aroused by its glorious visuals.\" *GamePro* said of the game, \"The sounds never rise above average and the controls are way too sensitive (even with the analog controller), which makes racing in the already arduous turns a difficult task and adds to \[the\] game\'s general frustration level. With such severe visual and control maladies, *Turbo Prop* doesn\'t even come close to crossing the finish line.\" However, *Next Generation* said, \"Anyone who thinks that PlayStation is finished should check this game out

# John A. Leslie
**John Andrew Leslie** (born 2 August 1940) is a Canadian philosopher and writer.
## Biography
Leslie was educated at Wadham College, Oxford, earning his B.A. in English Literature in 1962 and his M.Litt. in Classics in 1968. He is currently Professor emeritus at the University of Guelph, in Ontario, Canada.
In his book *Universes*, Leslie describes a philosophical parable in which an individual survives a firing squad of fifty expert marksmen unscathed. He offers two explanations for this remarkable event: either it is a fortuitous outcome, to be expected occasionally by pure chance among many thousands of attempted executions by firing squad; or it is intentional. Francis Collins references this parable in his book *The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief* as part of his argument that the Anthropic Principle strongly suggests a Creator with intent.
Leslie has spoken as follows about his life\'s work:
> What I have to contribute is some technical defense of the idea that if you had an infinitely rich \[universe\], it could be explained by reference to its value. Its goodness could be the creative force which had produced it. I think if I would like to be remembered as a philosopher for any one thing, that would be the thing I\'d most like to be remembered for.
## Pantheism
Leslie is a pantheist. His philosophical work takes influence from David Lewis, Plato and Spinoza.
In his book *Infinite Minds: A Philosophical Cosmology* (2001), Leslie argues for a pantheistic universe in which everything exists in a divine mind. Philosopher Brendan Sweetman commented that the book promotes a \"highly speculative, pantheistic theory that is fascinating in its own way, but that will probably convince very few.\" Leslie\'s book is unique because he accepts and uses arguments for the existence of God which are usually used to support theism such as a version of the cosmological argument and the design argument based on fine-tuning, but he explains these in a pantheistic way.

# Bobby Walker (footballer, born 1879)
**Robert Walker** (10 January 1879 -- 28 August 1930) was a Scottish professional footballer who played as a forward for Heart of Midlothian and the Scotland national team.
## Club career {#club_career}
Walker joined Hearts from Dalry Primrose in 1896, making his debut in a \"trial\" match vs Sunderland. He played in a few games that clinched Hearts\' second League Championship in 1897. Walker was the first Hearts player to score over 100 league goals, and he scored their 1000th SFL goal. Other notable achievements are his 33 goals against Hibernian, which is the record tally in the Edinburgh Derby if local competitions are included. He scored two hat-tricks against Hearts\' main rivals, the first at the age of 19 years and 9 months in a 5--1 victory at Easter Road on 28 October 1898. He repeated the feat on 18 September 1905, again at Easter Road, in a 3--0 win.
The 1901 Scottish Cup was remembered as \"Walker\'s Final\", Hearts beating Celtic 4--3. With the score poised at 3--3 *The Scotsman* reported: *\"the Edinburgh team soon showed that they were not going to relinquish the grasp of the cup which their play entitled them to, and Walker once more proved himself the grandest forward on the field. Taking the ball some thirty yards right through the opposition, he shot straight and true. M\'Arthur saved, but sent the \"leather\" to Bell, who tipped it over to Houston. By the last named it was again sent towards the Celtic custodian who muddled his attempt to avert, and again the Hearts were one to the good.\"* After this match Charlie Thomson dubbed him \"The Best Player in Europe\" and his style of football, involving brilliant footwork and sublime passing was known as \"Walkerism\". He also played in Hearts Scottish Cup win of 1906.
During Hearts\' first overseas tour to Norway in May 1912, King Haakon of Norway attended one of the games specifically to see Walker play.
Walker became a Hearts director in 1920. He died at the age of 51 in August 1930. Huge crowds lined the funeral route and thousands stood round his graveside. His obituary in *The Scotsman* stated *\"The Hearts never had a more brilliant forward than Walker. He was amazingly clever in manipulating the ball, and , it was on skill alone that he relied, for he was never favoured with physique. With the ball at his feet he could turn on his course elusively, and in such little space, that he could often put a whole defence out of position with his deft movement.\"*
The Football Encyclopaedia from 1934, edited by Frank Johnston, referred to him simply as *\"Bobby Walker, the greatest natural footballer who ever played.\"*
## International career {#international_career}
Walker was the most capped Scottish footballer for Heart of Midlothian with 29 caps until the record was broken in 2006 by Steven Pressley. He held the Scotland national team caps record at various points from 1905 to 1931.
If caps are \"weighted\" to measure the number of games that were possible to play in a season, he is third in the all time Scottish caps list. His Scotland career of 13 Years, 1 Month and 3 days places him no 11 in the all-time list. He shares the record of 11 Scottish caps versus England, along with Alan Morton of Queens Park and Rangers. The record would have been 12 as he played in the *Ibrox disaster* match of 5 April 1902 which has subsequently been declared unofficial. In addition he won 14 Scottish Football League XI caps, which places him 7th in the all-time list.
