S-PULSE

S-PULSE is the acronym of Shrink-Path of Ultra-Low Power Superconducting Electronics. S-PULSE is a support action of the European Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) that stimulates joint efforts of European academic and industrial groups in the field of superconducting technologies. The general goal is to prepare Superconductor Electronics (SE) technologies for the technology generation beyond the CMOS scaling limits (called often “beyond CMOS”). S-PULSE supports the Superconducting Electronics community to strengthen the vital link between research and development and industry. It also strengthens the exchange of knowledge and ideas and take charge of education.

The challenge in SE is to achieve superconducting electronic circuit performance beyond the possibilities of semiconductor circuit technologies, and to make SE technologies ready to benefit to other technologies in the world markets. This support action, developed in the 2008-2010 period, is focused to prepare a Technology Roadmap and a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) to enable the transition from the present scientific oriented network for SE towards an industrially guided European Technology Platform (ETP).

Jean-Yves Thériault vs. Don Wilson

Jean-Yves Thériault vs. Don "The Dragon" Wilson was a middleweight kickboxing bout that took place in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on December 18, 1984, which ended in a decision draw.

Background

Jean-Yves Thériault began his career in 1976 after six months of training and rose to prominence when he defeated Robert Biggs to win the PKA Middleweight Championship of the World in November 1980. He had accumulated a record of 47 wins and 3 losses by the time of the fight, mostly competing in his home country of Canada. His last lost was in November 1979 when he dropped a decision to Ralph Hollet.

Don "The Dragon" Wilson came from a kung fu (White Dragon Style) and karate (Goju Ryu) background and started his career fighting in his native Florida in 1974. After winning the Florida state and American titles, he took the WKA Light Heavyweight Championship of the World in October 1980 when he defeated Andy White by knockout. He defended the title six times before winning the KICK World Light Heavyweight title from Curtis Crandall and the WKA Cruiserweight World title from Maurice Smith in 1983.

Thériault and Wilson had been set to fight years earlier when Wilson defeated Rodney Batiste in July 1980 in an eliminator for the vacant PKA Middleweight title. The fight never materialised, however, due to a number of contractual and promotional issues, and Thériault faced Robert Biggs instead.

The fight

The bout took place on December 18, 1984 at the Verdun Auditorium in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in front of 7,000 spectators, with the fight set for twelve, two-minute rounds under American kickboxing rules. Neither fighter put any of their titles on the line.

The fight went the distance and ended in a decision draw. Many believe Wilson to have been a clear winner,

Aftermath

As arguably the biggest bout in the sport's history at the time, it was considered a disappointment with neither Thériault or Wilson emerging as kickboxing's best fighter. A rematch between the pair was discussed but never came to fruition.


Jean-Yves Thériault vs. Don Wilson

Following the fight, Wilson said "I feel I won the bout, but not as convincing as I can. Next time we meet, I feel I can knock Thériault out. He's just not that tough." To which Thériault replied "Wilson fights on fear. He was able to stay out of trouble, but he did nothing to hurt me. I think he overrates himself. We'll see if he's so smug after the next fight".

In an interview with Black Belt, Wilson spoke about rematches, and expressed frustration at Thériault not agreeing to fight him again.

Savanna Pastoral Neolithic

The Savanna Pastoral Neolithic (SPN; formerly known as the Stone Bowl Culture) is a collection of ancient societies that appeared in the Rift Valley of East Africa and surrounding areas during a time period known as the Pastoral Neolithic. They were South Cushitic speaking pastoralists who tended to bury their dead in cairns, whilst their toolkit was characterized by stone bowls, pestles, grindstones and earthenware pots.

Through archaeology, historical linguistics and archaeogenetics, they conventionally have been identified with the area's first Afroasiatic-speaking settlers. Archaeological dating of livestock bones and burial cairns has also established the cultural complex as the earliest centre of pastoralism and stone construction in the region.

Overview

The makers of the Savanna Pastoral Neolithic culture are believed to have arrived in the Rift Valley sometime during the Pastoral Neolithic period (c. 3,000 BC-700 AD). Through a series of migrations from Horn of Africa, these early Cushitic-speaking pastoralists brought cattle and caprines southward from the Sudan and/or Ethiopia into northern Kenya, probably using donkeys for transportation.Lowland Savanna Pastoral Neolithic. They subsequently spread to the highlands of Kenya and Tanzania around 3,300 ybp, which is consequently known as the Highland Savanna Pastoral Neolithic phase.

Excavations in the area indicate that the Savanna Pastoral Neolithic peoples were primarily cattle pastoralists.goats, sheep, and donkeys.cairns. Their toolkit was characterized by a blade and bladelet-based lithic industry,earthenware pots, stone bowls and pestles, and occasional grindstones.Lake Turkana.

Sonia Mary Cole (1954) indicates that certain pestles and grindstones that she excavated from ochreous levels were stained with ochre, while others from the carbonized layers were not. She consequently suggests that the latter were instead used for grinding grain.

Although detailed information on this segment of African prehistory is not abundant, data so far available reveal a succession of cultural transformations within the Savanna Pastoral Neolithic. The transformations seem to have been fostered by both environmental change and population movements.


Savanna Pastoral Neolithic

Ancient DNA analysis of a Savanna Pastoral Neolithic bone excavated at the Luxmanda site in Tanzania found that the specimen carried a large proportion of ancestry related to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic culture of the Levant, similar to that borne by modern Afroasiatic-speaking populations inhabiting the Horn of Africa. This suggests that the Savanna Pastoral Neolithic culture bearers may have been Cushitic speakers.

Language

The SPN peoples are believed to have spoken languages from the South Cushitic branch of the Afroasiatic.Christopher Ehret, linguistic research suggests that these Savanna Pastoral Neolithic populations were the first Afroasiatic speakers to settle in the Central Rift Valley and surrounding areas. The region was at the time of their arrival inhabited by Khoisan hunter-gatherers who spoke Khoisan languages and practiced an Eburran blade industry.Elmenteitan culture that lived in the Rift Valley during the same period.

The linguistic chronology of the historic population movements into the Central Rift Valley as well as the present and past distribution of Afro-Asiatic speakers further suggests that SPN peoples likely spoke South Cushitic languages.loanwords.Bantu Expansion.

Distribution

The Savanna Pastoral Neolithic culture was initially distributed at elevations below 1100 m in lowland northern Kenya (Lowland Savanna Pastoral Neolithic). Its range later extended to the highlands between central Kenya and northern Tanzania, at elevations above 1,500 m (Highland Savanna Pastoral Neolithic). The preferred settlement location for SPN sites was open wooded grassland on well-drained, gentle slopes of between 1,500 m to 2,050 m.

Material culture

The Savanna Pastoral Neolithic makers' characteristic stone bowls have been recovered from both their occupation sites and burial cairns.

Their material culture was typified by several pottery styles, up to three of which may be found at a single site. Nderit pottery (previously known as Gumban A) was produced by early SPN herders in the Turkana Basin. The most diagnostic SPN pottery farther south is Narosura pottery, and some scholars group Akira (TIP), Maringishu (trellis motif), and herringbone-motif wares in with the SPN as well.


Savanna Pastoral Neolithic

In terms of funerary tradition, the Savanna Pastoral Neolithic peoples erected stone cairns in open spaces, rock shelters, crevices or against walls. The deceased were buried with a number of items, including stone bowls, pestle rubbers and ochre palettes. Large obsidian blades and other tools were also occasionally among the mortuary objects. Incisor removal was not a common feature of this population.

S-Nitrosothiol

Structure of an S–nitrosothiol. R denotes some organic group.

In organic chemistry, S-nitrosothiols, also known as thionitrites, are organic compounds or functional groups containing a nitroso group attached to the sulfur atom of a thiol.S-Nitrosothiols have the general formula R−S−N=O, where R denotes an organic group. Originally suggested by Ignarro to serve as intermediates in the action of organic nitrates, endogenous S-nitrosothiols were discovered by Stamler and colleagues (S-nitrosoalbumin in plasma and S-nitrosoglutathione in airway lining fluid) and shown to represent a main source of NO bioactivity in vivo. More recently, S-nitrosothiols have been implicated as primary mediators of protein S-nitrosylation, the oxidative modification of cysteine thiol that provides ubiquitous regulation of protein function.

S-Nitrosothiols have received much attention in biochemistry because they serve as donors of both the nitrosonium ion NO+ and of nitric oxide and thus best rationalize the chemistry of NO-based signaling in living systems, especially related to vasodilation.Red blood cells, for instance, carry an essential reservoir of S-nitrosohemoglobin and release S-nitrosothiols into the bloodstream under low-oxygen conditions, causing the blood vessels to dilate.

S-nitrosothiols are composed of small molecules, peptides and proteins. The addition of a nitroso group to a sulfur atom of an amino acid residue of a protein is known as S-nitrosylation or S-nitrosation. This is a reversible process and a major form of posttranslational modification of proteins.


S-Nitrosothiol

S-Nitrosylated proteins (SNO-proteins) serve to transmit nitric oxide (NO) bioactivity and to regulate protein function through enzymatic mechanisms analogous to phosphorylation and ubiquitinylation: SNO donors target specific amino acids motifs; post-translational modification leads to changes in protein activity, protein interactions, or subcellular location of target proteins; all major classes of proteins can undergo S-nitrosylation, which is mediated by enzymes that add (nitrosylases) and remove (denitrosylases) SNO from proteins, respectively. Accordingly, nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity does not directly lead to SNO formation, but rather requires an additional class of enzymes (SNO synthases), which catalyze denovo S-nitrosylation. NOSs ultimately target specific Cys residues for S-nitrosylation through conjoint actions of SNO-synthases and transnitrosylases (transnitrosation reactions), which are involved in virtually all forms of cell signaling, ranging from regulation of ion channels and G-protein coupled reactions to receptor stimulation and activation of nuclear regulatory protein.

Structure and reactions

The prefix "S" indicates that the NO group is attached to sulfur. The S-N-O angle is near 114°, reflecting the influence of the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen.

S-Nitrosothiols may arise from condensation from nitrous acid and a thiol:

[{\displaystyle {\ce {RSH + HONO -> RSNO + H2O}}}]

Other methods for their synthesis. They can be synthesized from N2O3 and tert-butyl nitrite (tBuONO) are commonly used.

Once formed, these deeply colored compounds are often thermally unstable with respect to formation of the disulfide and nitric oxide:

[{\displaystyle {\ce {2 RSNO -> RSSR + 2 NO}}}]

S-Nitrosothiols release nitrosonium ions (NO+) upon treatment with acids:

[{\displaystyle {\ce {RSNO + H+ -> RSH + NO+}}}]


S-Nitrosothiol

and they can transfer nitroso groups to other thiols:

[{\displaystyle {\ce {RSNO + R'SH -> RSH + R'SNO}}}]

Detection

S-Nitrosothiols can be detected with UV-vis spectroscopy.

  * S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO)
  * S-Nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP)
  * S-Nitrosotriphenylmethanethiol

Shripad Dabholkar

Shripad Dabholkar at seminar on “Ideas that have worked”, New Delhi, 2001

Shripad A. Dabholkar (1924 – May 2001) was an Indian intellectual and activist. He was the founder of a non-structured methodology of grassroot networking for nature-friendly neighbourhood development called Prayog Pariwar (Experimenting Communities).Jamnalal Bajaj Award.

Prayog Pariwar received considerable attention from some of the influential educational thinkers including Paolo Freire (author of `Pedagogy of the Oppressed’) and Ivan Illich (author of`Deschooling Society’). Illich invited Dabholkar to Centro Intercultural de Documentación in Cuernavaca in 1970. Kassel University in Germany organized in 1973 ‘‘Science for Rural Development: a workshop with Shripad Dabholkar and Paolo Freire’’. The theme of the workshop was to juxtapose the`Critical pedagogy’ of Freire for raising political awareness (conscientization) and the pedagogical methods of Prayog Pariwar to develop resource literacy.

Biography

Shripad A. Dabholkar was an educationist who aimed to shape education as a tool for total change in the life situation of an average worker in rural areas. Dabholkar worked as a professor of mathematics for 25 years at a rural university Mauni Vidyapeeth which was founded by J. P. Naik as a pilot project with the motto “Development through Education” and with funding from the Central Government.

Dabholkar grew dissatisfied with the formal schooling which often did not connect with the real-life situations, and with the limitations of conventional academic system which tended to exclude many capable individuals with a stamp of failure. He left the university to undertake the task of educating farmers through demystification of science, adopting non-formal methods of knowledge communication.

Dabholkar started his work in Tasgaon, a village in Sangli district in Maharashtra, with a core group of farmers including Mhetre, Arve, Patil. The successes of this group with their innovative approach helped in creating mass awareness and interest in many other small farmers,

Dabholkar translated the classic monograph ‘’General Viticulture’’


Shripad Dabholkar

The productivity in the district rose to world standards and grape production became a highly productive activity, inducing more farmers to turn to it.Maharashtra without formal agricultural education became India's leading grape cultivators with a turnover of over $100 million. Dabholkar then successfully extended the applied research to other crops as well.

He is the father of Atish Dabholkar and elder brother of Narendra Dabholkar.

Prayog Pariwar

Prayog Pariwar methodology is about networking of self-experiment ventures for nature friendly prosperity. The central thesis is that without depending on foreign aid or imported technology, economic development can be achieved by experimenting farmers and by common individuals in their own neighborhoods by assimilating latest science. It evolved from the initiatives by Dabholkar in Maharashtra, India, in the mid-1960s. The network was then called Swashraya Vikas Mandal, meaning self-help and self-reliance for building new possibilities by working in one's own real-life situation.

This network of farmers soon began to implement latest scientific methods in their real-life situations, developed their own research methods and grape varieties better suited for local conditions. These groups also pioneered collaborative networking practices and an Internet-type information exchange using postcards.

Dabholkar described the Prayog Pariwar methodology in the book Plenty for all

  * grassroot networking
  * demystification of latest science, knowledge and new thoughts to generate and propagate
  * people's own techno-scientific ventures

Prayog Pariwar has proven successful even in the absence of Dabholkar. A network involving thousands of small farmers remains active even today, for example, in the area near Nasik.

This eco-friendly and grassroots approach to farming based on implementing latest science in the context of local neighborhoods is referred to "Natu-eco farming"Masanobu Fukuoka and Organic farming with which it shares some common traits.

Critical reception

Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times:

Not that it's a bad movie, particularly; it has all the necessary gore and beasties and gratuitous nudity that this not-very-demanding genre demands... None of this is very scary, but William M. Miller's cinematography and those big-name cameos keep it interesting.

From TV Guide:

While neither especially chilling nor particularly unpredictable, van den Houten's debut, scripted by Steve Klausner from a story by Troy McCombs and William M. Miller, aspires to little more than the usual stalk-and-slash clichés, it features a number of nice touches, including a knowing nod to H. P. Lovecraft's classic short story Pickman's Model and a slew of familiar faces in small roles, such as Udo Kier as a spooky priest and Dee Wallace-Stone and William Atherton as baffled doctors.

North Okkalapa General Hospital

The North Okkalapa General Hospital is an affiliated teaching hospital of the University of Medicine 2, Yangon, located in North Okkalapa Township in the eastern part of Yangon, Myanmar.

Structure

The North Okkalapa General Hospital was affiliated to the University of Medicine 2, Yangon in 1970. On 25 September 1996 the University moved to its present location in North Okkalapa beside the hospital.

Fundraising

On 12 September 1998 the Medical Superintendent of North Okkalapa General Hospital, Dr Myint Maung Maung represented the hospital at a ceremony where cash donations were made for a trust fund to help poor and needy patients.

Patients

A significant number of the patients are poor.

A study was made of 2,613 infants delivered at North Okkalapa General Hospital between January and September 1990. 21.1% of the babies had low birth weight, with 18.1% being due to intrauterine growth retardation and 3% with preterm births.

The hospital staff understand the latest orthopedic care technologies, but lack the funds to buy instruments such as curved awls and reamer. Pre-operative surgical planning is handicapped by the need to conserve X-ray film.

In April 2009 there was an epidemic of diarrhea in North Okkalapa Township. Local hospitals admitted over 100 people suffering from severe diarrhea. There were rumors that the diarrhea was caused by cholera and that some deaths had occurred. However officials at the Ministry of Health and North Okkalapa General Hospital refused to provide any information.

Herschel Grossman

Herschel Ivan Grossman (6 March 1939 – 9 October 2004) was an American economist best known for his work on general disequilibrium with Robert Barro in the 1970s

Life and career

Grossman grew up in Philadelphia, where he attended Central High School.University of Virginia (1960), a B.Phil. from the University of Oxford (1962), where he was a student at Merton College,Johns Hopkins University (1965). Grossman collaborated with Barro to produce the influential article "A General Disequilibrium Model of Income," which, for many years, held the distinction of being the most cited article ever published in the American Economic Review.disequilibrium in one market can have spillover effects to another market, creating a distinction between notional demand and effective demand. Grossman and Barro expanded on their work and produced the classic textbook Money, Employment, and Inflation in 1976.

Following his work on disequilibrium, Grossman made several contributions to the study of economic policy and political economy.property rights. He analyzed property rights formation under "common pool" situations, where all resources are initially held in common, and "initial claims" cases, where individuals have an initial claim to resources before rights are established.

Grossman died suddenly in 2004 while attending a conference in Marseilles, France.

Jean-Étienne Marie

Jean-Étienne Marie (22 November 1917 – 25 December 1989) was a French composer of contemporary music. He is an important figure in the history and exploration of Microtonal music and electroacoustic.

Biography

Born in Pont-l'Évêque, Calvados, Marie studied at the Conservatoire de Paris with Simone Plé-Caussade.World War II, he dedicated his life to music. He worked at the Radiodiffusion Française, where he was a specialist in broadcasting contemporary music festival.

Marie was the disciple of Olivier Messiaen and of Darius Milhaud, but this is his meeting with microtonality pioneer Julián Carrillo that was crucial in his musical work. He created le CIRM in 1968 in Paris and set it to Nice in 1978. In 1979 he created the MANCA Festival (Musiques actuelles Nice Côte-d'Azur).

Music

He dedicated most of his work to microtonal and to mixed music. His works and his theorisation in microtonal music were significant in the modern knowledge of European microtonal music.

Like Julian Carrillo, he explored the potential of microtonal scales, either widespread (1/4 tone, 1/3rd tone, 1/6tone) or less known (1/7th tone, 1/5th tone). One of his techniques was to use polytempered music, that is to say music exploiting the simultaneous use of several different microtonal scales. This concept suggested by Carillo. In Tombeau de Carillo he exploited 1/2, 1/3rd, 1/5th and 1/6 tone scales simultaneously.

He also tried to apply serialism to these scales. In 1972 he wrote a serial and polytempered piece Ecce Ancilla Domini, where he uses rows in 1/4, 1/5th and 1/6th tone.

Savanna National Forest

Savanna National Forest was established by the U.S. Forest Service in Illinois on June 5, 1925 from part of the Savanna Military Reservation, now the Savanna Army Depot, with 10,710 acres (43.3 km2). On June 15, 1926 Savanna was renamed Bellevue-Savanna National Forest. The forest was abolished on July 15, 1954.

S-III

The S-III (pronounced "S 3") was a proposed third stage of the early Saturn C designs for a five-stage Saturn launch vehicle. The Saturn C configurations were based on a "building block" approach, in which the upper stages would be test-flown before the intermediate stages. The S-III was to have been fueled with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen and powered by two J-2 engines. The original Saturn C-2 design would have been a three- or four-stage launch vehicle using the S-I plus S-III plus S-IV stages plus, for some missions, S-V.

Shrinking space

This article is about shrinking topological spaces. For shrinking civic spaces, see Civic space.

In mathematics, in the field of topology, a topological space is said to be a shrinking space if every open cover admits a shrinking. A shrinking of an open cover is another open cover indexed by the same indexing set, with the property that the closure of each open set in the shrinking lies inside the corresponding original open set.

Properties

The following facts are known about shrinking spaces:

  * Every shrinking space is normal.
  * Every shrinking space is countably paracompact.
  * In a normal space, every locally finite, and in fact, every point-finite open cover admits a shrinking.
  * Thus, every normal metacompact space is a shrinking space. In particular, every paracompact space is a shrinking space.

These facts are particularly important because shrinking of open covers is a common technique in the theory of differential manifolds and while constructing functions using a partition of unity.

Heads or Tails (2005 film)

Heads or Tails is a 2005 film written and directed by Joey McAdams and Clark Kline. Produced by Fool Martyr Productions, the film stars Jeff Keilholtz, Douglas Cathro and Jon Liddiard.

The screenplay was adapted from a short story Kline wrote in 1994. Shooting began in September 2003 with a script that was shrouded in secrecy even from cast and crew, as each were given the day's lines on the day a scene was to be shot.Weinberg Center for the Arts in February 2005.Courtney Oates of The Flow magazine describes Heads or Tails as an "incredibly unique story of murder, myths and mania." It was released to DVD in the spring of 2008.

Synopsis

Heads or Tails is a dark drama: the story of a Native American myth and how it has been twisted throughout the years into something much darker. Every thirteen cycles of the moon, two people stand on a cliff and throw a coin off to compete for a wish. Only those that partake in the ritual see that the wish is only the beginning.

Herschel K. Mitchell

Herschel Kenworthy Mitchell (November 27, 1913 – April 1, 2000) was an American professor of biochemistry who spent most of his career on the faculty at the California Institute of Technology. He was one of many researchers interested in vitamin B6 in the early 1940s and is credited as one of the discoverers of folic acid. He later focused his research on Drosophila (fruit flies), in particular the genetics and biochemistry of the heat shock response.

Early life and education

Mitchell was born on November 27, 1913, in Los Nietos, California. He received a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Pomona College in 1936, a master's degree from Oregon State College in 1938, and a Ph.D. from the University of Texas in 1941, where he worked with Roger J. Williams and Esmond Emerson Snell in their work on vitamin B6 and folic acid. He is recognized as a co-discoverer of folic acid, which the three scientists extracted from four tons of processed spinach.

In 1943 Mitchell moved from Texas to Stanford University to work as a research associate with George Beadle, who at the time was studying the genetics of metabolism in Neurospora (a fungus that served as a model organismNorman Horowitz.

Academic career

Mitchell began his independent research career with an appointment as an associate professor of biology at Caltech in 1949 and advanced to full professor in 1953. His early research continued to focus on the genetics of Neurospora, including the first biochemical demonstration of a missing enzyme (tryptophan synthase) from a metabolically deficient Neurospora mutant.genes control metabolism by producing (in a manner not then understood) the enzymes required for specific metabolic reactions. This idea came to be known as the one-gene-one-enzyme hypothesis, and later the one-gene-one-polypeptide hypothesis.

He subsequently worked on the genetics of Drosophila (fruit flies), a widely known model organism for studying genetics and development. Using fruit flies as models, he made major discoveries in understanding the heat shock response and has been described as a "founding father" of the heat shock field.


Herschel K. Mitchell

With research fellow Robert P. Wagner, Mitchell coauthored a textbook called Genetics and Metabolism in the 1950s. It was reviewed as an important guide to the then-emerging synergy between the two fields.

Mitchell retired from Caltech in 1984, assuming professor emeritus status.

Personal life

Mitchell was an enthusiastic athlete who brought his hobby to Caltech, establishing a recreational athletic league for graduate students and managing the Caltech teams, which included students and faculty from a variety of departments, for 25 years.glassblower who used his skills to make chemistry laboratory equipment and for a time supported his family by working in a glassblowing shop.

Mitchell had a debilitating stroke in 1990, and recovered his speech but continued to have physical difficulties and used a wheelchair thereafter. He died on April 1, 2000, following a second stroke.

Sack of Granada

The sack of Granada occurred in 1563 when Dragut landed in the province of Granada, Spain, and sacked or captured some coastal settlements.

Dragut had a reputation for his activity in the Mediterranean, plundering and destroying countless cities before enslaving the inhabitants such as in Cullera or in Vieste where all or almost all of the remaining inhabitants were beheaded.

In 1563, Dragut landed at the shores of Granada. He proceeded to sack the city and capture Almuñécar as well as other coastal settlements.

Dragut later captured 6 ships near Capri and captured Chiaia in Naples before going on to raid Oristano, Marcellino and Ercolento.

Social forum

A social forum is an open meeting place for civil society organizations and individuals opposed to neoliberalism and what its participants regard as the domination of the world by capital and imperialism.World Social Forum (WSF) held in January 2001 in Porto Alegre. It was designed as a counter forum to the World Economic Forum (WEF) held in Davos at the same time. While the WSF regards the WEF as a meeting of the political and economic elite of the world, the WSF gathers social forces and aims to promotes democratization and social justice.

After the first WSF, the social forum idea was replicated across the world in various transnational, national, and local social forums. Most, though not all, social forums adhere to the WSF Charter of Principles,Global Justice Movement (or Anti-Globalization Movement).

Joaquin Rocks

Joaquin Rocks are a group of three pillars of rock, originally known as "Las Tres Piedras" (The Three Rocks), located on Joaquin Ridge, in the Diablo Range, in Fresno County, California. The Joaquin Rocks are at an elevation of 4,121 feet (1,256 meters), and are the most distinguishing feature of Joaquin Ridge. The three pillars of rock are clearly visible on the ridge for many miles from many directions in the San Joaquin Valley and from their summits have a view of much of the valley. It is located, 3 miles (4.8 km) west-northwest of Black Mountain (Anticline Ridge) and 3 miles (4.8 km) southwest of Ragged Valley.

History

The rocks were named for Joaquin Murietta (1830-1853), a Sonoran 49'er turned bandit during the California Gold Rush after his death at the hands of the California Rangers in the Arroyo de Cantua. He and his gang used this region as a base and a refuge for their business of horse theft and robbery.

The Rolling Stone Album Guide

Greatest Hits is a compilation album and primary Greatest Hits album by the American rock band Styx. It was released by A&M Records on August 22, 1995. It contains 16 tracks, 8 of which were Billboard Top 10 Pop Singles, another 4 that were Billboard Top 40 Pop Singles, and 4 that received heavy airplay on FM album oriented rock stations.

This album essentially replaced Styx's previous greatest hits album, Styx - Classics, Volume 15, which was released by A&M in 1987. That previous album had excluded the hit song "Lady" because the song was originally recorded for and released through Wooden Nickel Records (which also had a distribution arrangement with RCA Records). Because A&M/PolyGram had been unable to secure distribution rights to the song, most of the classic lineup of Styx (Dennis DeYoung, Tommy Shaw, Chuck Panozzo and James "J.Y." Young) reunited to re-record the track at Dennis' home studio, The White Room. They were joined by uncredited session drummer Todd Sucherman, who filled in for John Panozzo due to Panozzo's failing health; Sucherman joined the band permanently in 1996, during the Return to Paradise tour. The track, which is very similar to the original, was titled "Lady '95".

With the exception of "Lady '95", Styx - Greatest Hits features the original album versions of all the other songs included in the compilation. "Come Sail Away" is presented here in its full 6:05 version and "Miss America" is here in its original studio version (despite the CD's packaging showing incorrect time listings for both tracks).

Aftermath

The "Lady '95" session led to Styx reuniting.

Omitted Hits

While the Greatest Hits album arguably captured most of the biggest Styx pop and rock radio singles, there were some noticeable omissions, some which would appear on the follow-up Styx Greatest Hits Part 2. Songs that charted in the top 40 that were not included on Volume 1 include "Love At First Sight (#25)", "Why Me" (#26), "Mademoiselle (#34)," "Music Time (#40)," and "Sing For The Day (#41)." The album also omitted Top Rock Tracks "Rockin' The Paradise (#8)," "Light Up," "Love Is the Ritual (#9), and "Snowblind" (#22)." Many of these songs found their way into Volume 2, but "Why Me," "Music Time," and "Love Is the Ritual" were not included in either version.

Jean Dampt

Boiserie for the Salle du Chevalier in the Hôtel de Bearn in Paris, 1900-06, Musée d'Orsay

Jean Baptiste Auguste Dampt (1854–1945) was a French sculptor, medalist, and jeweler.

Biography

Born in Venarey-les-Laumes as the son of a cabinetmaker, Dampt studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Dijon, then in 1874 under the leadership of François Jouffroy and Paul Dubois at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris . He exhibited for the first time at the Salon of the Société des Artistes Français in 1876. In 1877 he took the deuxième Prix de Rome for sculpture at the Ecole. He completed his military service, then organized an Exhibition of the Society of Friends of the Gold Coast to promote art in its region.

Dampt's work can be described as Symbolist; at the Musée d'Orsay he is classified as Art Nouveau. Some of Dampt's sculptures are exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts in Dijon.

In 1919 Dampt was appointed to chair #7 of the Académie des Beaux-Arts. Dampt's students include the Americans Frederick Ruckstull, Charles Grafly, and Cyrus Edwin Dallin, and the Swiss Jean Dunand. The animalier François Pompon was an assistant.

Les Cinq

In 1895, Dampt was a founding member of the arts group Les Cinq, which sought to apply new mechanical methods to furniture design. The four other founding members were architect Tony Selmersheim, designer Felix Aubert, sculptor and craftsman Alexandre Charpentier, and the painter Étienne Moreau-Nélaton. Architect Charles Plumet would join in 1896, changing the group's name first to Les Six and then to L'Art pour tous with the later association of Henri Sauvage and others.

Louis Nicolas de Clerville

Louis Nicolas de Clerville, a.k.a. Chevalier de Clerville, held many military positions during his life in France in 1610–1677.Pierre-Paul Riquet and the building of the Canal du Midi.

Clerville played an important role in François de Vendôme, Duc de Beaufort's 1664 expedition against Algiers and attempt to establish a French stronghold at Djidjelli (or Gigeri, present-day Jijel).

During his association with the canal, Clerville worked for Jean-Baptiste Colbert, minister of finance under King Louis XIV of France. He served as Colbert's commissaire general des fortifications building ports, dry docks and fortresses.

Clerville originated the ideas for the building a single large dam of the Laudot valley near Saint-Ferréol (a hamlet of Revel). When this was accomplished, it became the Bassin de St. Ferréol. He also had the idea for digging the tunnel through the Cammazes ridge to connect the rigole de la montagne to the Bassin de St. Ferréol.

Clerville lost his standing with King Louis in 1673
