De architectura (On architecture, published as Ten Books on Architecture) is a treatise on architecture written by the Roman architect and military engineer Marcus Vitruvius Pollio and dedicated to his patron, the emperor Caesar Augustus, as a guide for building projects. As the only treatise on architecture to survive from antiquity, it has been regarded since the Renaissance as the first book on architectural theory, as well as a major source on the canon of classical architecture. It contains a variety of information on Greek and Roman buildings, as well as prescriptions for the planning and design of military camps, cities, and structures both large (aqueducts, buildings, baths, harbours) and small (machines, measuring devices, instruments). Since Vitruvius published before the develop

The term magnetic potential can be used for either of two quantities in classical electromagnetism: the magnetic vector potential, or simply vector potential, A; and the magnetic scalar potential ψ. Both quantities can be used in certain circumstances to calculate the magnetic field B. The more frequently used magnetic vector potential is defined so that its curl is equal to the magnetic field: curl A = B. Together with the electric potential φ, the magnetic vector potential can be used to specify the electric field E as well. Therefore, many equations of electromagnetism can be written either in terms of the fields E and B, or equivalently in terms of the potentials A and φ. In more advanced theories such as quantum mechanics, most equations use potentials rather than fields. The magnetic scalar potential ψ is sometimes used to specify the magnetic H-field in cases when there are no free currents, in a manner analogous to using the electric potential to determine the electric field in electrostatics. One important use of ψ is to determine the magnetic field due to permanent magnets when their magnetization is known. With some care the scalar potential can be extended to include free currents as well. Historically, Lord Kelvin first introduced vector potential in 1851, along with the formula relating it to the magnetic field.

Cleveland, the second-largest city in the U.S. state of Ohio, is home to 142 completed high-rises, 33 of which stand taller than 250 feet (76 m). The tallest building in Cleveland is the 57-story Key Tower, which rises 947 feet (289 m) on Public Square. The tower has been the tallest building in the state of Ohio since its completion in 1991, and it also stood as the tallest building in the United States between Chicago and New York City prior to the 2007 completion of the Comcast Center in Philadelphia. The Terminal Tower, which rises 771 feet (235 m), stands as the second-tallest building in the city and the state; at the time of its completion, the building was the tallest in the world outside New York City. The history of skyscrapers in Cleveland began in 1889 with the construction of the Society for Savings Building, often regarded as the first skyscraper in the city. Cleveland went through an early building boom in the late 1920s and early 1930s, during which several high-rise buildings, including the Terminal Tower, were constructed. The city experienced a second, much larger building boom that lasted from the early 1970s to early 1990s, during which time it saw the construction of over 15 skyscrapers, including the Key Tower and 200 Public Square. Overall, the city is the site of three of the four Ohio skyscrapers that rise at least 656 feet (200 m) in height; Cincinnati contains the other. As of 2012, the skyline of Cleveland is 27th in the United States and 96th in the world with 16 buildings rising at least 330 feet (100 m) in height. Unlike many other major American cities, Cleveland was the site of relatively few skyscraper construction projects in the 2000s decade. The most recently completed skyscrapers in the city are the Carl B. Stokes Federal Court House Building, which was constructed in 2002 and rises 430 feet (131 m), the Ernst & Young Tower in 2013 which tops out at 330 feet, and the recently erected 374 feet tall Hilton Cleveland Downtown Hotel which opened in 2016. Overall, ( as of August 2016), there were 17 high-rise buildings under construction or proposed for construction in Cleveland. The most recent proposal has been for the 54-story NuCLEus building project in the Gateway Sports and Entertainment Complex district of downtown and the Playhouse Square Tower that will rise 34 stories making it 389 feet tall.The two tallest buildings under construction are the 389 foot-tall Playhouse Square Apartment Tower and the recently commenced 355 foot-tall Beacon apartment building downtown on Euclid Avenue.

Substituted phenethylamines (or simply phenethylamines) are a chemical class of organic compounds that are based upon the phenethylamine structure; the class is composed of all the derivative compounds of phenethylamine which can be formed by replacing, or substituting, one or more hydrogen atoms in the phenethylamine core structure with substituents. The structural formula of any substituted phenethylamine contains a phenyl ring that is joined to an amino (NH) group via a two-carbon sidechain. Hence, any substituted phenethylamine can be classified according to the substitution of hydrogen (H) atoms on phenethylamine's phenyl ring, sidechain, or amino group with a specific group of atoms. Many substituted phenethylamines are psychoactive drugs which belong to a variety of different drug classes, including central nervous system stimulants (e.g., amphetamine), hallucinogens (e.g., dl-2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine a.k.a. DOM), entactogens (e.g., 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine a.k.a. MDA), appetite suppressants (e.g. phentermine), nasal decongestants and bronchodilators (e.g., levomethamphetamine and pseudoephedrine), antidepressants (e.g. bupropion and phenelzine), antiparkinson agents (e.g., selegiline), and vasopressors (e.g., ephedrine), among others. Many of these psychoactive compounds exert their pharmacological effects primarily by modulating monoamine neurotransmitter systems; however, there is no mechanism of action or biological target that is common to all members of this subclass. Numerous endogenous compounds – including hormones, monoamine neurotransmitters, and many trace amines (e.g., dopamine, norepinephrine, adrenaline, phenethylamine itself, tyramine, thyronamine, and iodothyronamine) – are substituted phenethylamines. Several notable recreational drugs, such as MDMA (ecstasy), methamphetamine, and cathinone, are also members of the class. All of the substituted amphetamines and substituted methylenedioxyphenethylamines are substituted phenethylamines as well.

The PAC JF-17 Thunder (Urdu: جے ایف-١٧ گرج‎), or CAC FC-1 Xiaolong (pinyin: Xiāo Lóng; literally: 'Fierce Dragon'), is a lightweight, single-engine, multi-role combat aircraft developed jointly by the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) and the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC) of China. The JF-17 can be used for aerial reconnaissance, ground attack and aircraft interception. Its designation "JF-17" by Pakistan is short for "Joint Fighter-17", while the designation and name "FC-1 Xiaolong" by China means "Fighter China-1 Fierce Dragon". The JF-17 can deploy diverse ordnance, including air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles, and a 23 mm GSh-23-2 twin-barrel autocannon. Powered by a Guizhou WS-13 or Klimov RD-93 afterburning turbofan, it has a top speed of Mach 1.8. The JF-17 is to become the backbone of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF), complementing the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon at half the cost. The PAF inducted its first JF-17 squadron in February 2010. In 2015 Pakistan produced 16 JF-17s. As of 2016, Pakistan is believed to have the capacity to produce 25 JF-17 per year. 58% of the airframe is Pakistani and 42% Chinese/Russian-origin. As of December 2016 Pakistan Aeronautical Complex has manufactured 70 jets in the country for use by the Pakistan Air Force of the Block 1 type, and 33 jets of the Block 2 type. The Pakistan Air Force plans, by 2017, to induct a twin-seater version known as the JF-17B for both enhanced operational capability and training. Preparations for a more advanced and technologically sophisticated block III version of the aircraft are underway and the AESA radar, KJ-7A, has been developed, which can track 15 targets and engage 4 targets simultaneously. Since its induction in 2011, the JF-17 Thunder has accumulated 19,000 hours of operational flight. The JF-17 has seen active military service as it is used by the Pakistan Air Force to bomb militant positions in the War in North-West Pakistan, using both unguided munitions and guided missiles for precision strike capability.

Charles Evans Cemetery is a non-sectarian cemetery located in the city of Reading, Pennsylvania. It was founded by Charles Evans (1768-1847), a son of Quaker parents and native of Philadelphia who became a prominent attorney and philanthropist in Reading during the late 18th and early 19th century. After donating the cemetery's first 25 acres and $2,000 to support the early development and operations phase of this public burial ground, he then ensured the cemetery's long-term stability by bequeathing a roughly $67,000 endowment from his estate, following his death in 1847 to support beautification of the grounds and other perpetual care activities. Sited atop a hill, the cemetery was initially located outside of the city when Evans first donated the land, but was absorbed into Reading's boundaries as the city developed to meet the needs of its expanding population. By the 1870s, cemetery administrators had expanded the grounds significantly, according to the Huntingdon Journal, which reported on the cemetery in its September 10, 1873 edition as follows: The Charles Evans Cemetery, the beautiful "City of the Dead" of Reading contains one hundred acres of ground. The total number of interments within its precincts last year was 483; for the months of January, February, March, April, May, June, and July of this year the number was 267.

Landfill gas utilization is a process of gathering, processing, and treating the methane gas emitted from decomposing garbage to produce electricity, heat, fuels, and various chemical compounds. The number of landfill gas projects, which convert the gas into power, went from 399 in 2005 to 519 in 2009 in the United States, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency. These projects are popular because they control energy costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These projects collect the methane gas and treat it, so it can be used for electricity or upgraded to pipeline-grade gas. These projects power homes, buildings, and vehicles.

Fueled by the same political urgencies that birthed the Black Panther Party, the Black Arts Movement (or BAM), also known as the “aesthetic and spiritual sister of the Black Power concept," sought to define and create a distinct cultural aesthetic that would enable conceptions of Blackness--and other political ideas--to be negotiated more expansively through art and popular culture. BAM questioned cultural norms in literature and other expressive art forms, creating new standards for knowledge production that decenter European influences and integrate African cultural retentions and aesthetics. The movement also demanded and established Black-owned cultural institutions—publishing houses, theatre companies, etc.—that could and would honor the stories and creative expressions of Black peopl

Robot learning is a research field at the intersection of machine learning and robotics. It studies techniques allowing a robot to acquire novel skills or adapt to its environment through learning algorithms. The embodiment of the robot, situated in a physical embedding, provides at the same time specific difficulties (e.g. high-dimensionality, real time constraints for collecting data and learning) and opportunities for guiding the learning process (e.g. sensorimotor synergies, motor primitives). Example of skills that are targeted by learning algorithms include sensorimotor skills such as locomotion, grasping, active object categorization, as well as interactive skills such as joint manipulation of an object with a human peer, and linguistic skills such as the grounded and situated meaning of human language. Learning can happen either through autonomous self-exploration or through guidance from a human teacher, like for example in robot learning by imitation. Robot learning can be closely related to adaptive control, reinforcement learning as well as developmental robotics which considers the problem of autonomous lifelong acquisition of repertoires of skills.While machine learning is frequently used by computer vision algorithms employed in the context of robotics, these applications are usually not referred to as "robot learning".

Steven Strauss is an American business person, public servant and academic. Strauss is currently the John L. Weinberg/Goldman Sachs & Co Visiting Professor at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton. Strauss joined Princeton in 2014. In addition, he is a contributing columnist at USA Today and other publications. Prior to Princeton, Strauss was on the faculty of the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and was a Fellow at the Harvard University Advanced Leadership Initiative. Prior to Harvard Strauss was a managing director of the New York City Economic Development Corporation. Strauss is concerned that the big tech firms (e.g., Amazon, Google, Facebook, etc) are inherently natural oligopolies because the markets they operate in have significant barriers to entry due to their combination of economies of scale, high fixed costs, Network effect and low marginal costs of operation - he believes regulation and/or anti-trust action needs to be seriously explored. He has also expressed concerns about the rise of the Sharing economy pointing out that on one hand it improves economic efficiency and (given available employment alternatives) is probably good for the participants, but he also points that part of the reason people are renting rooms in their homes, willing to drive cars at odd hours is arguable the rising inequality in the American economy. In regard to Amazon HQ2 Strauss recommended cities should be careful about offering too much to Amazon: a) he provided examples where companies that had previously benefited from generous incentive packages had gone bankrupt so the promised jobs never happened, or b) even if a company such as Amazon that receives incentives follows up on its growth plans cities run a risk of overpaying (the "winner's curse") due to the inherent information asymmetries. After Amazon decided not to build in New York City, Strauss provided a post mortem and actionable advice for other cities. Outside of technology and policy, Strauss has expressed reservation on grounds of equity regarding drug testing of people on government assistance, his point was that while we routinely discuss drug testing for low income groups on Unemployment benefits, Medicaid, and/or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program we never seem to discuss drug testing for CEOs of Banks that receive massive government aid. He has also expressed reservation about the idea of treating government as a business, pointing out (somewhat tongue in cheek) that if we were running America as a business, we would certainly close or sell the State of Kentucky which in 2017 was identified as the state that is most dependent on the Federal Government (e.g., in 2016, the federal government collected $33 billion in taxes from Kentucky but spent $89 billion there, for a net "loss" of $56 billion - if you think of Kentucky as a business unit). Strauss completed at BA at NYU and in 2002, Strauss obtained a PhD in Management Studies (with a focus on Marketing Strategy) from Yale, after which he worked as a Management Consultant at McKinsey & Company. In 2008 Strauss worked for the Bloomberg administration on a review of NYC's economic development strategy. Strauss also worked for Bloomberg as part of a panel that judged New York City's Next Idea Business Plan Competition.

Doggerland was an area of land, now submerged beneath the southern North Sea, that connected Great Britain to continental Europe. It was flooded by rising sea levels around 6,500–6,200 BC. Geological surveys have suggested that it stretched from Britain's east coast to the Netherlands and the western coasts of Germany and the peninsula of Jutland. It was probably a rich habitat with human habitation in the Mesolithic period, although rising sea levels gradually reduced it to low-lying islands before its final submergence, possibly following a tsunami caused by the Storegga Slide. The archaeological potential of the area was first identified in the early 20th century, and interest intensified in 1931 when a fishing trawler operating east of the Wash dragged up a barbed antler point that was subsequently dated to a time when the area was tundra. Vessels have dragged up remains of mammoth, lion and other animals, as well as a few prehistoric tools and weapons. Doggerland was named in the 1990s, after the Dogger Bank, which in turn was named after the 17th century Dutch fishing boats called doggers.

Harumi Kurihara (栗原 はるみ Kurihara Harumi, born March 5, 1947) is a celebrity homemaker and television personality in Japan. Kurihara has often been called the "Martha Stewart of Japan", and has enjoyed popularity there for over twenty years. She is the host of numerous television shows, author of Suteki Recipe, a quarterly recipe magazine which has sold 5 million copies, as well as over 20 bestselling cookbooks and style magazines, has a line of cookware named after her, and owns a chain of stores. Her homemaking empire is named Yutori no Kukan, which means "a space to relax". She has had sponsorship deals with companies such as P&G, Shiseido, 3M, Takara Distillers and Nissan. She was born in Shimoda, a coastal city, and never had professional training as a chef. She is therefore known for satisfying home cooking. In particular her cuisine is known for combining traditional and newer Western influences, while accounting for the real-world time constraints of a housewife. She is married to Reiji Kurihara, a former television newsanchor, who originally encouraged her to begin her television career, and is now president of Yutori no Kukan. Harumi's first cookbook was Gochisosama Ga Kikitakute!, which translates to "I want to hear you say: 'I'm all finished and that was great!'". Harumi's first major cookbook published in English was Harumi's Japanese Cooking, which in 2004 was awarded the best cookbook of the year (and the best world Asian cuisine book) at the 10th Gourmand World Cookbook Awards, and was selected from a pool of 5000 cookbooks from 67 countries.

A referendum on the future of the Soviet Union was held on 17 March 1991. The question put to voters was Do you consider necessary the preservation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as a renewed federation of equal sovereign republics in which the rights and freedom of an individual of any nationality will be fully guaranteed? (Russian text: Считаете ли Вы необходимым сохранение Союза Советских Социалистических Республик как обновлённой федерации равноправных суверенных республик, в которой будут в полной мере гарантироваться права и свободы человека любой национальности?)(Russian transliteration: Schitayete li Vy neobkhodimym sokhraneniye Soyuza Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik kak obnovlonnoy federatsii ravnopravnykh suverennykh respublik, v kotoroy budut v polnoy mere garantirovat'sya prava i svobody cheloveka lyuboy natsional'nosti?) The referendum was made with the aim of approving the Union of Sovereign States and was oblivious to the reform of the economic system question that will take place after the victory of Yeltsin in the elections. In Kazakhstan, the wording of the referendum was changed by substituting "equal sovereign states" for "equal sovereign republics". Although the vote was boycotted by the authorities in Armenia, Estonia, Georgia (though not the breakaway province of Abkhazia, where the result was over 98% in favour, and in South Ossetia), Latvia, Lithuania, and Moldova (though not Transnistria or Gagauzia), turnout was 80% across the rest of the Soviet Union. The referendum's question was approved by nearly 70% of voters in all nine other republics that took part. It was the only referendum in the history of the Soviet Union, as the August Coup prevented the formation of the renewed federation, causing the Soviet Union to be dissolved on 26 December 1991.

McKenzie then joined the 2012 MSA British Super One Championship at the second round in April 2012, after he was approached by a UK race team and offered a KF3 drive, finishing 13th out of 26 in his rookie year. The team ceased operations at the end of the 2012 season, leaving McKenzie without a drive in the KF3 class for 2013. In 2013, McKenzie switched to competing in the Stars at Whilton Mill Championship in the Junior Rotax 125cc class and came 5th in his debut season. In November 2014 at the age of 16, McKenzie won the Junior Rotax Stars at Whilton Mill championship – his most notable result claiming victory in round two from 12th on the grid, on the last corner. McKenzie now competes in endurance karting and is pursuing a career in mechanics.

De architectura (On architecture, published as Ten Books on Architecture) is a treatise on architecture written by the Roman architect and military engineer Marcus Vitruvius Pollio and dedicated to his patron, the emperor Caesar Augustus, as a guide for building projects. As the only treatise on architecture to survive from antiquity, it has been regarded since the Renaissance as the first book on architectural theory, as well as a major source on the canon of classical architecture. It contains a variety of information on Greek and Roman buildings, as well as prescriptions for the planning and design of military camps, cities, and structures both large (aqueducts, buildings, baths, harbours) and small (machines, measuring devices, instruments). Since Vitruvius published before the development of cross vaulting, domes, concrete, and other innovations associated with Imperial Roman architecture, his ten books are not regarded as a source of information on these hallmarks of Roman building design and technology.

Windmill Hill is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure in the English county of Wiltshire, part of the Avebury World Heritage Site, about 1 mile (2 km) northwest of Avebury. Enclosing an area of 21 acres (8.5 ha), it is the largest known causewayed enclosure in Britain. The site was first occupied around 3800 BC, although the only evidence is a series of pits apparently dug by an agrarian society using Hembury pottery. During a later phase, c. 3300 BC, three concentric segmented ditches were placed around the hilltop site, the outermost with a diameter of 365 metres. The causeways interrupting the ditches vary in width from a few centimetres to 7 m. Material from the ditches was piled up to create internal banks, the deepest ditches and largest banks are on the outer circuit. The site was bought by Alexander Keiller in 1924 and excavated over several seasons from 1926–1929 by Keiller and Harold St George Gray whose work established it as the type site for causewayed camps as they were then called. Pottery from the bottom of the ditches was also the type style for the Windmill Hill culture. Later occupation layers contained early Peterborough ware, then the later Mortlake and Fengate varieties. Large quantities of bone, both human and animal, were also recovered from the ditch fill. The camp remained in use throughout the rest of the Neolithic with Grooved ware and Beaker potsherds having been found in later deposits. A Bronze Age bell barrow was later built between the inner and middle rings. Michael Dames has proposed a composite theory of seasonal rituals in an attempt to explain Windmill Hill and its associated sites: (West Kennet Long Barrow, the Avebury henge, The Sanctuary, and Silbury Hill).

Commander Shepard is the player character in BioWare's Mass Effect game series: Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3. A veteran soldier of the Systems Alliance Navy military and N7-graduate of the Interplanetary Combatives Training (ICT) program, and the first human Citadel Council Spectre, Shepard works to stop the Reapers, a sentient synthetic-machine race dedicated to wiping out all advanced organic life. Shepard's gender, class, first name and facial appearance are chosen and customised by the player. Mark Meer provides the voice for default male Shepards, while Jennifer Hale voices female Shepards. Since the player can choose the gender of Shepard, much of the dialogue revolving around the character is gender-neutral with only a few exceptions, however in some other Mass Effect Media, Shepard is called "he" regardless of player choice for the gender. Alan Shepard was the source of the character's name, although Shepard is also analogous for Jesus, and "The Shepherd" is both of their title by future generations. Shepard's armor developed over the series, and was originally intended to be red-and-white. Most promotional material for the series focused on the male Shepard, due to the studio's desire for a single identifiable hero, though both genders were given equal priority during development. Various merchandise has been made, including several figurines. Shepard has made cameo appearances in other Electronic Arts games and is referenced in Mass Effect: Andromeda, though BioWare has no plans to feature the character in any future Mass Effect titles, considering Shepard's story to be complete.

Charles Evans Cemetery is a non-sectarian cemetery located in the city of Reading, Pennsylvania. It was founded by Charles Evans (1768-1847), a son of Quaker parents and native of Philadelphia who became a prominent attorney and philanthropist in Reading during the late 18th and early 19th century. After donating the cemetery's first 25 acres and $2,000 to support the early development and operations phase of this public burial ground, he then ensured the cemetery's long-term stability by bequeathing a roughly $67,000 endowment from his estate, following his death in 1847 to support beautification of the grounds and other perpetual care activities. Sited atop a hill, the cemetery was initially located outside of the city when Evans first donated the land, but was absorbed into Reading's bo

Glickman's principal contribution to measurement is "ratings reliability", called RD, for ratings deviation.

Clothed female, naked male (CFNM) is a genre of erotica based on the real or imagined interaction of one or more nude men and one or more clothed women. It is sometimes a sexual fantasy of women or men, depicting an exhibitionist or physique worship scenario. CFNM situations can arise in situations where a male disrobes as part of a male striptease, a medical examination, as a figure model for art students, or is forced to remove clothing as a punitive measure. In pornography or erotic writing, CFNM depicts a power exchange where the more traditionally dominant male is objectified, debased, or humiliated by a more traditionally submissive female. As a result, CFNM fiction frequently includes the clothed female taking on the role of a dominatrix over the nude male. The opposite of CFNM is clothed male, naked female (CMNF).

Aigis, rendered in Japanese as Aegis (Japanese: アイギス Hepburn: Aigisu), is a character introduced in the 2006 role-playing video game Persona 3 by Atlus. She is an android created by the Kirijo Group, and the last surviving model of their experimental anti-Shadow weapon. Besides possessing a wide variety of high-tech weapons, from machine guns and rocket launchers to long-range guns and "rocket punches," Aigis also has access to the power of Persona she uses alongside the main cast to defeat the Shadows attacking mankind. Across the game, Aigis starts showing human-like traits and it is revealed the reason for her attachment to the game's protagonist whom she seeks to be safe. Aigis was created by Shigenori Soejima who despite being bothered by her inclusion in the game as a result of being android, came to find her design one of his favorites due to the amount of freedom he was provided in creating her. Aigis is voiced by Maaya Sakamoto in Japanese and Karen Strassman in English. Critical reception to the character was mixed, with praise aimed at her character development.

The Sirmondian Constitutions are a set of Roman laws dealing with church matters. They take their name from their first editor, Jacques Sirmond. Some of the laws are also copied into the Theodosian Code, but in abbreviated form. The full collection survives only in a single early medieval manuscript now in Berlin, the so-called Codex Lugdunensis. There is a longstanding debate about their authenticity. Some historians, such as Elisabeth Magnou-Nortier, think they are church forgeries, while others, such as Olivier Huck, argue strongly that they are genuine. Recent work has tended to suggest that they are essentially genuine but may have been edited, perhaps as part of preparations for the second Synod of Macon in 582.

The Treaty of Tientsin, now also known as the Treaty of Tianjin, is a collective name for several documents signed at Tianjin (then romanized as Tientsin) in June 1858. They ended the first phase of the Second Opium War, which had begun in 1856. The Qing, Russian, and Second French Empires, the United Kingdom, and the United States were the parties involved. These treaties, counted by the Chinese among the so-called unequal treaties, opened more Chinese ports to foreign trade, permitted foreign legations in the Chinese capital Beijing, allowed Christian missionary activity, and effectively legalized the import of opium. They were ratified by the Emperor of China in the Convention of Peking in 1860, after the end of the war.

Mohammad al-Shalabi (in Arabic محمد الشلبي , born in Ma'an, Jordan) better known as Abu Sayyaf (in Arabic أبو سياف) is a Salafi cleric and the head of the Jordanian Jihadi Salafist Movement (in Arabic التيار السلفي الجهادي في الأردن). He was sentenced to death in 2006 because of Ma'an riots he was accused of instigating and leading in January 2002 against Jordanian authorities. He was also thought to have links to the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan and to Al Qaeda and at least some level of involvement in the assassination of USAID official Laurence Foley outside his home in Amman, Jordan on October 28, 2002. Abu Sayyaf denied any connection to the murder, though he did reportedly condone the action. After being pursued by security forces for months, he was ultimately arrested in 2004, charged and sentenced to a death in 2006. In 2007 a special pardon commuted his sentence to serve 15-year imprisonment with hard labor. In June 2011, a new special pardon permitted his release just four years into his new sentence. He remains influential in the Jordanian Salafi movement particularly in Ma'an. After release from prison, he joined less radical salafi groups for a more mainstream political role in what became known as the progressive Salafi-Jihadis in Jordan and institutionalization of his movement within Jordan's broader political life and leading the efforts for establishing a Shura Council to represent Salafi-Jihadis across Jordan, comprising representatives from each of the country's 12 governorates. He also reportedly encourages Islamists to go to Syria to fight. He remains a respected figure by locals mediating with tribal chiefs in disputes with the Jordanian authorities, saying his followers have no interest in destabilizing Jordan.

The Glicko rating system and Glicko-2 rating system are methods for assessing a player's strength in games of skill, such as chess and Go. It was invented by Mark Glickman as an improvement of the Elo rating system, and initially intended for the primary use as a chess rating system. Glickman's principal contribution to measurement is "ratings reliability", called RD, for ratings deviation. Both Glicko and Glicko-2 rating systems are under public domain and found implemented on game servers online (like Pokémon Showdown, Lichess, Free Internet Chess Server, Chess.com, Online Go Server (OGS), Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, Guild Wars 2, Splatoon 2, and Dominion Online), and competitive programming competitions. The formulas used for the systems can be found on the Glicko website. The RD measures the accuracy of a player's rating, with one RD being equal to one standard deviation. For example, a player with a rating of 1500 and an RD of 50 has a real strength between 1400 and 1600 (two standard deviations from 1500) with 95% confidence. Twice the RD is added and subtracted from their rating to calculate this range. After a game, the amount the rating changes depends on the RD: the change is smaller when the player's RD is low (since their rating is already considered accurate), and also when their opponent's RD is high (since the opponent's true rating is not well known, so little information is being gained). The RD itself decreases after playing a game, but it will increase slowly over time of inactivity. The Glicko-2 rating system improves upon the Glicko rating system and further introduces the rating volatility σ. A very slightly modified version of the Glicko-2 rating system is implemented by the Australian Chess Federation.

Westbeth Artists Housing is a nonprofit housing and commercial complex dedicated to providing affordable living and working space for artists and arts organizations in New York City. Its campus comprises the full city block bounded by West, Bethune, Washington and Bank Streets in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City; the complex is named for two of these streets, West and Bethune. It occupies the Bell Laboratories Buildings, which were the headquarters of Bell Telephone Laboratories 1898–1966, before being converted in 1968–1970. That conversion was overseen by architect Richard Meier. This low- to moderate-income rental housing and commercial real estate project, the largest in the world of its type, was developed with the assistance of the J.M. Kaplan Fund and federal funds from the National Endowment for the Arts. Westbeth is owned and operated by Westbeth Corp. Housing Development Fund Corp. Inc., a New York not-for-profit corporation governed by an unpaid, volunteer board of directors. As of 2009, Westbeth has a very old population, including many original tenants – about 60% of tenants were over the age of 60 years, and about 30% were over the age of 70. It is thus a naturally occurring retirement community, and has an on-site social worker. Children of tenants are allowed to take over their parents' apartment, and thus there is a multi-generational community. Due to the 10–12-year waiting period for an apartment, Westbeth closed its residential waiting list in 2007. This changed on March 18, 2019 when the institution started accepting applications for an indefinite period of time.

"The medium is the message" is a phrase coined by Marshall McLuhan introduced in McLuhan's book Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, published in 1964. It means that the nature of a medium (the channel through which a message is transmitted) is more important than the meaning or content of the message. McLuhan tells us that a "message" is, "the change of scale or pace or pattern" that a new invention or innovation "introduces into human affairs." McLuhan uses the term 'message' to signify content and character. The content of the medium is a message that can be easily grasped. And the character of the medium is another message which can be easily overlooked. McLuhan says, and quite truly, "Indeed, it is only too typical that the 'content' of any medium blinds us to the character of the medium."

Zymolase (also known as lyticase) is an enzyme mixture used to degrade the cell wall of yeast and form spheroplasts. Essential activities of zymolase include β-1,3-glucan laminaripentao-hydrolase activity and β-1,3-glucanase activity. A common source of zymolase is the Actinobacteria Arthrobacter luteus. Commercial sources of zymolase may have some residual protease activity. Fungi succeptible to zymolase can be found in the order Saccharomycetales. Saccharomycetales genera that zymolase is known to have activity against include: Eremothecium, Candida, Debaryomyces, Eremothecium, Endomyces, Hansenula, Hanseniaspora, , Kluyveromyces, Lipomyces, , Pichia, , Saccharomyces, Saccharomyces, , , Torulopsis

Fueled by the same political urgencies that birthed the Black Panther Party, the Black Arts Movement (or BAM), also known as the “aesthetic and spiritual sister of the Black Power concept," sought to define and create a distinct cultural aesthetic that would enable conceptions of Blackness--and other political ideas--to be negotiated more expansively through art and popular culture. BAM questioned cultural norms in literature and other expressive art forms, creating new standards for knowledge production that decenter European influences and integrate African cultural retentions and aesthetics. The movement also demanded and established Black-owned cultural institutions—publishing houses, theatre companies, etc.—that could and would honor the stories and creative expressions of Black people. Although many of these institutions no longer exist, they supported literary and visual artists who were not only inventing new ways to process through the interiority of Black life, but who were also using their art to mobilize Black people around affects of dispossession and restitution. The movement itself did not span beyond a decade or so, but its lasting legacy highlights the potential of art’s impact during revolutionary struggle. The movement has often been associated with the Black Power movement, and, to a lesser extent, with the Civil Rights Movement. Amiri Baraka (formerly LeRoi Jones), a poet and playwright, is widely recognised as the founder of BAM. In 1965, he established the Black Arts Repertory Theatre/School (BART/S) in Harlem, with the hopes of inspiring artists to create a new 'black aesthetic'. Many followed Baraka's lead, establishing their own organisations, groups and journals around the United States.

Neil Alden Armstrong (August 5, 1930 – August 25, 2012) was an American astronaut and aeronautical engineer who was the first person to walk on the Moon. He was also a naval aviator, test pilot, and university professor. A graduate of Purdue University, Armstrong studied aeronautical engineering with his college tuition paid for by the U.S. Navy under the Holloway Plan. He became a midshipman in 1949, and a naval aviator the following year. He saw action in the Korean War, flying the Grumman F9F Panther from the aircraft carrier USS Essex. In September 1951, he was hit by anti-aircraft fire while making a low bombing run, and was forced to bail out. After the war, he completed his bachelor's degree at Purdue and became a test pilot at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) High-Speed Flight Station at Edwards Air Force Base in California. He was the project pilot on Century Series fighters and flew the North American X-15 seven times. He was also a participant in the U.S. Air Force's Man in Space Soonest and X-20 Dyna-Soar human spaceflight programs. Armstrong joined the NASA Astronaut Corps in the second group, which was selected in 1962. He made his first spaceflight as commander of Gemini 8 in March 1966, becoming NASA's first civilian astronaut to fly in space. During this mission with pilot David Scott, he performed the first docking of two spacecraft; the mission was aborted after Armstrong used some of his re-entry control fuel to stabilize a dangerous roll caused by a stuck thruster. During training for Armstrong's second and last spaceflight as commander of Apollo 11, he had to eject from the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle moments before a crash. In July 1969, Armstrong and Apollo 11 Lunar Module pilot Buzz Aldrin became the first people to land on the Moon, and spent two and a half hours outside the spacecraft while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit in the command and service module. When Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface, he famously said: "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." Along with Collins and Aldrin, Armstrong was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Richard Nixon. President Jimmy Carter presented Armstrong with the Congressional Space Medal of Honor in 1978, and Armstrong and his former crewmates received a Congressional Gold Medal in 2009. After he resigned from NASA in 1971, Armstrong taught in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Cincinnati until 1979. He served on the Apollo 13 accident investigation, and on the Rogers Commission, which investigated the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. He acted as a spokesman for several businesses, and appeared in advertising for the automotive brand Chrysler starting in January 1979.
