These poems are byproducts of an interrupted and harassed apprenticeship. I thank Margaret De Silver for bailing me out of Fleet Street: after two years convalenscence from an attack of journalism I am beginning to recover my honesty. Rapallo, 1930

Bunting's poem 'Villon' was followed by two sections of shorter poems: 'Carmina' (containing 'Weeping oaks grieve', I am agog for foam', 'Against the tricks of time', 'After the grimaces of capitulation', 'Narciss, my numerous cancellations prefer' and 'Empty vast days') and 'Etcetera' (containing 'An arles, an arles for my hiring', 'Loud intolerant bells', 'Dear be still', 'Chorus of Furies (overheard)', 'Darling of Gods and Men' and 'As to my heart'.

Reception

Though Redimiculum Matellarum went "virtually unnoticed",Louis Zukofsky in Poetry.Ezra Pound also paid tribute to the collection in Canto LXXIV as "'Redimiculum Matellorum' / privately printed / to the shame of various critics".


Repatriation of Juan Manuel de Rosas's body

Mausoleum of Juan Manuel de Rosas at La Recoleta cemetery

Juan Manuel de Rosas was Governor of Buenos Aires Province during the Argentine Civil Wars. Deposed during the battle of Caseros, he spent his later life in exile in Southampton, England, where he died on March 14, 1877. He was buried at the Southampton Old Cemetery, and after a number of failed attempts the body was repatriated to Argentina and taken to La Recoleta Cemetery, where his remains are buried.

Death

Juan Manuel de Rosas was the Governor of Buenos Aires Province from 1829 to 1832 and 1835 to 1852. He's also famous for defeating an Anglo-French invasion during the Battle of Vuelta de Obligado in 1845. At the time the country fought many civil wars between Federals and Unitarians, Rosas being a federal leader. He was ousted from power by Justo José de Urquiza, governor of the Entre Ríos Province, at the battle of Caseros. Defeated, he was rescued by a British warship and moved to Southampton, where he stayed the rest of his life.Southampton Old Cemetery. Fearing pro-Rosas demonstrations, the Argentine government forbid any commemoration in his honour, and made instead a mass for the people that died during Rosas's government.

With Rosas out of the country, the Unitarians returned to Buenos Aires. They sought to erase or denigrate the legacy of Rosas, confiscated their high treason. Bartolomé Mitre, who fought in Caseros, did so with the first histographic works of Argentina, with a high negative bias against Rosas and other caudillos.revisionist scholars like Adolfo Saldías and Ernesto Quesada, who described Rosas under a positive light.

Repatriation projects

Anticipating the controversy, Rosas wrote in his will that "once my country recognizes, along with its government, the justice owed me by my services", then his body shall be returned to Argentina. Revisionism kept growing, specially in the 1920s and 1930s. The 1930s saw the establishment of the Pro-Repatriation of Rosas Committee.Revolution of '43 (the United Kingdom was fighting World War II at that time) and lost it during the first presidencies of Juan Perón, as Perón tried to avoid ideological disputes.Revolución Libertadora military coup and sent to exile, and Peronism was proscribed. Perón became a supporter of revisionism in the 1960s, and helped Manuel de Anchorena in the renewed efforts of the Committee.

Perón returned from exile and became president in 1973. He appointed Anchorena ambassador in England, and instructed him to negotiate the repatriation of Rosas's body. Great Britain authorized it, and the Argentine Congress passed a resolution for this purpose. The repatriation was imminent, but the country began a period of turmoil: Perón died in 1974, his wife Isabel Perón could not keep the Dirty War under control (a conflict between left-wing guerrillas and right-wing anti-communist groups), and a new military coup, the National Reorganization Process, deposed Isabel Perón. It is unknown if the repatriation was paused by the military or by the committee.

The military left in 1983, and Raúl Alfonsín became the new president. He did not take action to resume the repatriation.

Final repatriation

Alfonsín was followed by Peronist Carlos Menem in 1989, amid an economic crisis. Menem announced that the main task of his presidency would be the national reconciliation, the end of the dichotomies that once plagued the country. In the case of Rosas, he claimed that he wanted to be "the president of Rosas and Sarmiento", of "Mitre and Quiroga". Both pairs were historical enemies, and Menem sought to end those conflicts. With those ideas in mind, Menem gave the final boost to the repatriation project. The body would be taken from the cemetery, placed in a new coffin in France, and them moved by plane to Argentina.


There were projects to place the coffin in the Buenos Aires Cathedral, next to the one of José de San Martín, but a 1982 papal regulation forbid to bury people in cathedrals except for popes, archbishops and cardinals. The committee attempted to bypass the regulation, to no avail. As a result, it was placed in La Recoleta Cemetery instead.

The body was received in France with the honours of a head of state: red carpet, full military honours and the flag at half staff. In Argentina, the newspaper La Nación (founded by Bartolomé Mitre) declared that it was not against the repatriation.

The announced nature of the tour also meant that music critics could arrange to see the shows, and while the press's regard for McCartney and the Wings enterprise in general was fairly low, the concerts got some mixed-to-good notices.

Wings' line-up for the tour was Paul and Linda McCartney, Denny Laine, Henry McCullough, and Denny Seiwell.Tony Palmer wrote for The Observer after seeing the tour's opening night at the Bristol Hippodrome.The Moody Blues' hit "Go Now" was included, however.

As per McCartney's practice with Wings at the time, the three non-McCartney band members did not earn a share of the receipts but rather received a flat rate of £70 a week, with a £1000 bonus paid at the tour's conclusion.Lagos, Nigeria to record Band on the Run.

The support act for the entire tour was pub rock band Brinsley Schwarz.Hard Rock Cafe's opening night a few weeks previously. Prior to the tour, Wings had performed unannounced at the Hard Rock on 18 March in support of the charity organisation Release.

Nyatsime College

Nyatsime College in Harara Province, Zimbabwe is the country's first technical college specifically for African students. It opened in 1962, as the brainchild of educator and activist Stanlake J. W. T. Samkange, in what was then Southern Rhodesia. At the time no such school for African students existed, and Samkange had started fundraising for the school in 1951 already.

The school, designed to be run by African administrators and faculty for African students, was modelled on Tuskegee University in Alabama, USA; the opening dedication was attended by Luther H. Foster Jr., then Tuskegee's president.

Controversy

In Nov 2019, Cops investigated reports of sexual abuse cases filed by the students against the college staff.

Torneo Gran Alternativa (2006)

The Torneo Gran Alternativa (2006) (Spanish for "Great Alternative Tournament") was a professional wrestling tournament held by the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; Spanish for "World Wrestling Council"). The tournament was held on June 2, 2006, in Mexico City, Mexico at CMLL's main venue, Arena México. The Gran Alternativa tournament features tag teams composed of a rookie, or novato, and a veteran wrestler for an elimination tournament. The idea is to feature the novato wrestlers higher on the card that they usually work and help elevate one or more up the ranks. Since it is a professional wrestling tournament, it is not won or lost competitively but instead by the decisions of the bookers of a wrestling promotion that is not publicized prior to the shows to maintain the illusion that professional wrestling is a competitive sport.

The eight-team tournament was won by rookie Misterioso Jr. and Perro Aguayo Jr. by defeating the teams of Máscara Purpura (rookie) and Lizmark Jr., Hombre Sin Nombre (rookie) and Héctor Garza and finally the team of Nitro (rookie) and Último Guerrero. This was Misterioso Jr.'s third Gran Alternativa tournament as a rookie, and Perro Aguayo Jr.'s only Gran Alternativa win of his career.

Background

Starting in 1994 the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) created a special tournament concept where they would team up a novato, or rookie, with a veteran for a single-elimination tag team tournament with the purpose of increasing the profile of the rookie wrestler.

CMLL had used a similar concept in August 1994 where Novato Shocker teamed up with veterans Ringo Mendoza and Brazo de Plata to defeat novato Apolo Dantés and veterans Gran Markus Jr. and El Brazo in the finals of a six-man tag team tournament.tag teams instead, creating a tournament that would be known as El Torneo Gran Alternativa, or "The Great Alternative Tournament", which became a recurring event on the CMLL calendar.

Regionally important geological site

Regionally important geological and geomorphological sites (RIGS) are locally designated sites of local, national and regional importance for geodiversity (geology and geomorphology) in the United Kingdom and Isle of Man. These sites are also known by other names, such as regionally important geological sites, Regionally Important Geodiversity Sites (especially in WalesCounty Geodiversity Sites in Norfolk, Local Geodiversity Sites in ScotlandLancashire,County Geology Sites in CornwallDevon and in the Republic of Ireland.

Designation

RIGS may be designated for their value to Earth Science, and to Earth heritage in general, and may include cultural, educational, historical and aesthetic resources. The concept was introduced by the Nature Conservancy Council's publication Earth Science Conservation in Great Britain – A Strategy (1990). They are conserved and protected from development as a material consideration through the planning system by the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. They do not have the statutory management protection enjoyed by Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) or Areas of Special Scientific Interest (Isle of Man).

Local Sites

Local geological sites including RIGS are locally designated. In many areas the selection and designation process relies on significant amounts of volunteer effort. Once designated through notification to the local planning authority, they are conserved and protected as a material consideration through local and national planning policies. There are currently over 50 geoconservation groups, plus 2 associated organisations, as members of GeoconservationUK.

Planning policies

RIGS are treated by the UK government's 'Planning Policy Statement 9: Biodiversity and Geological Conservation' (ODPM 2005) (known as PPS9) under the category of regional and local sites. For more information about locally designated nature conservation sites in England see 'Local Sites - Guidance on the Identification, Selection and Management' (DEFRA, 2006). In England Local Authorities reported on the management of RIGS through the Local Sites National Indicator NI197 reporting to DEFRA until 31 March 2011, when this was changed to 160-01 reporting to DEFRA as part of the single data list.

Depending on the decisions of the members of the local sites partnership, in some local areas locally designated sites including RIGS with substantive geological interest may now be called local geological sites (LGS).

Kleinwaltersdorfer Bach

The Kleinwaltersdorfer Bach is a 7.6-kilomentre-long, left tributary of the Freiberger Mulde in Saxony, Germany. The stream is assessed as moderately polluted (GKL II).

Course

The stream, locally known as the Waltersbach, rises in Freiberg's Hospital Wood (Hospitalwald) and flows from there northwards through the village of Kleinwaltersdorf. After Kleinwaltersdorf it snakes its way through a water meadow landscape to Großschirma, where it empties into the Freiberger Mulde.

The villagers of Kleinwaltersdorf call the Waltersbach "the stream" (die Bach).

Maneuver Captains Career Course

The Maneuver Captain's Career Course (MCCC or MC3) is a military training and education course primarily for U.S. Army infantry and armor officers. Organized under the Maneuver Center of Excellence (MCoE) at Fort Moore, Georgia, the course is 22 weeks long.U.S. Marine Corps captains and officers from allied nations also attend. MCCC's mission is to prepare students for the leadership, training, and administrative requirements of a successful company commander and for the execution of the tactical planning responsibilities of Battalion S3s.

History

See also: Base Realignment and Closure, 2005

MCCC's origins are in the Infantry Officer Advanced Course and Armor Officer Advanced Course. These two courses, under the U.S. Army Infantry School and the U.S. Army Armor School, both at Fort Benning, served a similar purpose in preparing captains in those branches for company command and service on a battalion staff. With the U.S. Congress' mandated Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) reorganization of the Department of Defense in 2005, the infantry and armor schools were directed to partially merge. The branches collaborated and, by 2008, taught the same 'maneuver' curriculum to captains at both of their courses. The armor school completed its move to Fort Benning to form the Maneuver Center of Excellence in 2011 and the Maneuver Captain's Career Course replaced both legacy captains' courses.

Organization

Three 'teams' fall under the course's Directorate of Training whose officer-in-charge is a lieutenant colonel. Each team, run by a senior major, consists of 12 seminars (or small groups), with a senior captain or major instructing about 15 student officers. The course is offered six times per year, with each team conducting two iterations. With small gaps, three classes, each of about 160 students, run concurrently.199th Infantry Brigade coordinates a small administrative section for the course.

Maneuver Captains Career Course

Course Content

Company Phase

The company phase is the first of two phases in the program of instruction. Topics covered include doctrinal preparation, where all students are grounded in the latest U.S. Army doctrine. Key references include field manuals covering operational terms and graphics; brigade combat team organization; tactics; offensive, defensive, and stability operations; and maneuver companies and battalions. In the small group setting, students prepare and brief five company-level operations orders, with scenarios drawn from infantry, Stryker, and heavy brigade combat teams. The last brief, known as Battle Forge, is the culmination of the company operations order training; a passing grade is required to move on to the next phase of the course. After Battle Forge, small groups conclude the company phase with education on training management. Additional instruction, usually in a large lecture setting with all small groups combined, is provided by experts in field artillery, aviation, combat engineering, military intelligence, and military law. A concurrent writing and communications program attempts to improve student writing ability and assigns a research paper and other military-oriented writing. Students are required to participate in the "Ultimate Football League" (UFL) in an effort to build camaraderie among students and instructors. Competition can be fierce and the UFL accounts for approximately 25% of injuries during MCCC.

Battalion Phase

The battalion phase focuses instruction on preparing students to serve on a battalion or brigade staff. Assigned practical exercises and operations orders, students collaborate as a member of a scenario-based staff, rotating through different positions (S-1, S-2, S-3, etc.) during this phase. Four scenarios highlight different types of army battalions operating in varying situations (e.g. full-scale war or low-intensity stability operations). Planning through the military decision-making process underpins this phase. At the end of the phase, each student selects an elective course to attend, lasting about 10 days. Choices include battalion-level training management and logistics.

The goal of this program is to encourage foreign and U.S. officers to learn from one another, building mutual respect, trust, and understanding among allied armies. International officers are required to score a minimum of 75 on the English Comprehension Level test to be eligible to attend the course. English is usually a second or third language, so the course can be challenging from a linguistic perspective.

Rifleman's rule

Figure 1: Illustration of the Shooting Scenario.

Rifleman's rule is a "rule of thumb" that allows a rifleman to accurately fire a rifle that has been calibrated for horizontal targets at uphill or downhill targets. The rule says that only the horizontal range should be considered when adjusting a sight or performing hold-over in order to account for bullet drop. Typically, the range of an elevated target is considered in terms of the slant range, incorporating both the horizontal distance and the elevation distance (possibly negative, i.e. downhill), as when a rangefinder is used to determine the distance to target. The slant range is not compatible with standard ballistics tables for estimating bullet drop.

The Rifleman's rule provides an estimate of the horizontal range for engaging a target at a known slant range (the uphill or downhill distance from the rifle). For a bullet to strike a target at a slant range of [R_{S}] and an incline of [\alpha ], the rifle sight must be adjusted as if the shooter were aiming at a horizontal target at a range of [R_{H}=R_{S}\cos(\alpha )]. Figure 1 illustrates the shooting scenario. The rule holds for inclined and declined shooting (all angles measured with respect to horizontal). Very precise computer modeling and empirical evidence suggests that the rule does appear to work with reasonable accuracy in air and with both bullets and arrows.

Background

Definitions

There is a device that is mounted on the rifle called a sight. While there are many forms of rifle sight, they all permit the shooter to set the angle between the bore of the rifle and the line of sight (LOS) to the target. Figure 2 illustrates the relationship between the LOS and bore angle.

Figure 2: Illustration of a Rifle Showing Line of Sight and Bore Angle.

This relationship between the LOS to the target and the bore angle is determined through a process called "zeroing." The bore angle is set to ensure that a bullet on a parabolic trajectory will intersect the LOS to the target at a specific range. A properly adjusted rifle barrel and sight are said to be "zeroed." Figure 3 illustrates how the LOS, bullet trajectory, and range ([R_{H}]) are related.


Rifleman's rule

Figure 3: Illustration of a Rifle Showing the LOS and Bore Angle.

Procedure

In general, the shooter will have a table of bullet heights with respect to the LOS versus horizontal distance. Historically, this table has been referred to as a "drop table." The drop table can be generated empirically using data taken by the shooter at a rifle range; calculated using a ballistic simulator; or is provided by the rifle/cartridge manufacturer. The drop values are measured or calculated assuming the rifle has been zeroed at a specific range. The bullet will have a drop value of zero at the zero range. Table 1 gives a typical example of a drop table for a rifle zeroed at 100 meters.

Table 1: Example Bullet Drop Table

Range (meters)        0    100  200    300    400    500
Bullet Height (cm)  -1.50  0.0  -2.9  -11.0  -25.2  -46.4

If the shooter is engaging a target on an incline and has a properly zeroed rifle, the shooter goes through the following procedure:

 1. Determine the slant range to the target (measurement can be performed using various forms of range finders, e.g. laser rangefinder)
 2. Determine the elevation angle of the target (measurement can be made using various devices, e.g. sight attached unit)
 3. Apply the "rifleman's rule" to determine the equivalent horizontal range ([R_{H}=R_{S}\cos(\alpha )])
 4. Use the bullet drop table to determine the bullet drop over that equivalent horizontal range (interpolation is likely to be required)
 5. Compute the bore angle correction that is to be applied to the sight. The correction is computed using the equation [{\mbox{angle correction}}=-{\frac {{\mbox{bullet drop}}}{R_{H}}}] (in radians).
 6. Adjust the bore angle by the angle correction.

Example

Assume a rifle is being fired that shoots with the bullet drop table given in Table 1. This means that the rifle sight setting for any range from 0 to 500 meters is available. The sight adjustment procedure can be followed step-by-step.

1. Determine the slant range to the target.


Rifleman's rule

1. Determine the slant range to the target.

Assume that a range finder is available that determines that the target is exactly 300 meters distance.

2. Determine the elevation angle of the target.

Assume that an angle measurement tool is used that measures the target to be at an angle of [20^{\circ }] with respect to horizontal.

3. Apply the rifleman's rule to determine the equivalent horizontal range.

[R_{H}=300{\mbox{ meters}}\cos(20^{\circ })=282{\mbox{ meters}}]

4. Use the bullet drop table to determine the bullet drop over that equivalent horizontal range.

Linear interpolation can be used to estimate the bullet drop as follows:

[{\mbox{bullet drop}}={\frac {-11.0\cdot (282-200)+-2.9\cdot (300-282)}{300-200}}=-9.5{\mbox{ cm}}]

5. Compute the bore angle correction that is to be applied to the sight.

[{\displaystyle {\mbox{angle correction}}=-{\frac {-9.5{\mbox{ cm}}}{282{\mbox{ meters}}}}=0.00094{\mbox{ radians}}=0.94{\mbox{ mil}}=3.2'{\mbox{ (minutes of angle)}}}]

6. Adjust the bore angle by the angle correction.

The gun sight is adjusted up by 0.94 mil or 3.2' in order to compensate for the bullet drop. The gunsights are usually adjustable in unit of 1⁄2 minutes, 1⁄4 minutes of angle or 0.1 milliradians.

Analysis

This section provides a detailed derivation of the rifleman's rule.

Zeroing the rifle


Rifleman's rule

Zeroing the rifle

Let [\delta\theta] be the bore angle required to compensate for the bullet drop caused by gravity. Standard practice is for the shooter to zero their rifle at a standard range, such as 100 or 200 meters. Once the rifle is zeroed, adjustments to [\delta\theta] are made for other ranges relative to this zero setting. One can calculate [\delta\theta] using standard Newtonian dynamics as follows (for more details on this topic, see Trajectory).

Two equations can be set up that describe the bullet's flight in a vacuum, (presented for computational simplicity compared to solving equations describing trajectories in an atmosphere).

[x(t)=v_{{bullet}}\cos(\delta \theta )t\,] (Equation 1) [y(t)=v_{{bullet}}\sin(\delta \theta )t-{\frac {1}{2}}gt^{2}\,] (Equation 2)

Solving Equation 1 for t yields Equation 3.

[t={\frac {x}{v_{{bullet}}\cos(\delta \theta )}}] (Equation 3)

Equation 3 can be substituted in Equation 2. The resulting equation can then be solved for x assuming that [y=0] and [t\neq 0], which produces Equation 4.


Rifleman's rule

[y(t)=0=\left(v_{{bullet}}\sin(\delta \theta )-{\frac {1}{2}}gt\right)t] [0=v_{{bullet}}\sin(\delta \theta )t-{\frac {1}{2}}gt^{2}] [v_{{bullet}}\sin(\delta \theta )={\frac {1}{2}}gt={\frac {1}{2}}g{\frac {x}{v_{{bullet}}\cos(\delta \theta )}}] [x={\frac {v_{{bullet}}^{2}2\sin(\delta \theta )\cos(\delta \theta )}{g}}\,] (Equation 4)

where [v_{{bullet}}] is the speed of the bullet, x is the horizontal distance, y is the vertical distance, g is the Earth's gravitational acceleration, and t is time.

When the bullet hits the target (i.e. crosses the LOS), [x=R_{H}] and [y=0]. Equation 4 can be simplified assuming [x=R_{H}] to obtain Equation 5.

[R_{H}={\frac {v_{{bullet}}^{2}\;2\,\sin(\delta \theta )\,\cos(\delta \theta )}{g}}={\frac {v_{{bullet}}^{2}\sin(2\delta \theta )}{g}}\,] (Equation 5)

The zero range, [R_{H}], is important because corrections due to elevation differences will be expressed in terms of changes to the horizontal zero range.


Rifleman's rule

For most rifles, [\delta\theta] is quite small. For example, the standard 7.62 mm (0.308 in) NATO bullet is fired with a muzzle velocity of 853 m/s (2800 ft/s). For a rifle zeroed at 100 meters, this means that [\delta \theta =0.039^{\circ }].

While this definition of [\delta\theta] is useful in theoretical discussions, in practice [\delta\theta] must also account for the fact that the rifle sight is actually mounted above the barrel by several centimeters. This fact is important in practice, but is not required to understand the rifleman's rule.

Inclined trajectory analysis

The situation of shooting on an incline is illustrated in Figure 4.

Figure 4: Illustration of Shooting on an Incline.

Figure 4 illustrates both the horizontal shooting situation and the inclined shooting situation. When shooting on an incline with a rifle that has been zeroed at [R_{H}], the bullet will impact along the incline as if it were zeroed at a longer range [R_{S}]. Observe that if the rifleman does not make a range adjustment, his rifle will appear to hit above its intended aim point. In fact, riflemen often report their rifle "shoots high" when they engage a target on an incline and they have not applied the rifleman's rule.

Equation 6 is the exact form of the rifleman's equation. It is derived from Equation 11 in Trajectory.

[R_{S}=R_{H}\,(1-\tan(\delta \theta )\tan(\alpha ))\sec(\alpha )\,] (Equation 6)

The complete derivation of Equation 6 is given below. Equation 6 is valid for all [\delta\theta], [\alpha ], and [R_{H}]. For small [\delta\theta] and [\alpha ], we can say that [1-\tan(\delta \theta )\tan(\alpha )\approx 1]. This means we can approximate [R_{S}] as shown in Equation 7.


Rifleman's rule

[R_{S}\approx R_{H}\sec(\alpha )\,] (Equation 7)

Since the [\sec(\alpha )\geq 1\,], we can see that a bullet fired up an incline with a rifle that was zeroed at [R_{H}] will impact the incline at a distance [R_{S}>R_{H}]. If the rifleman wishes to adjust his rifle to strike a target at a distance [R_{H}] instead of [R_{S}] along an incline, he needs to adjust the bore angle of his rifle so that the bullet will strike the target at [R_{H}]. This requires adjusting the rifle to a horizontal zero distance setting of [R_{{Zero}}=R_{H}\cos(\alpha )]. Equation 8 demonstrates the correctness of this assertion.

[R_{S}=R_{{Zero}}\sec(\alpha )=\left(R_{H}\cos(\alpha )\right)\sec(\alpha )=R_{H}] (Equation 8)

This completes the demonstration of the rifleman's rule that is seen in routine practice. Slight variations in the rule do exist.

Derivation

Equation 6 can be obtained from the following equation, which was named equation 11 in the article Trajectory.

[R_{S}={\frac {v_{{Bullet}}^{2}\sin(2\theta )}{g}}\,(1-\cot(\theta )\tan(\alpha ))\sec(\alpha )\,]

This expression can be expanded using the double-angle formula for the sine (see Trigonometric identity) and the definitions of tangent and cosine.


Rifleman's rule

[R_{S}={\frac {v_{{Bullet}}^{2}}{g}}\,2\sin(\theta )\cos(\theta )\left(1-{\frac {\cos(\theta )}{\sin(\theta )}}{\frac {\sin(\alpha )}{\cos(\alpha )}}\right)\sec(\alpha )\,]

Multiply the expression in the parentheses by the front trigonometric term.

[R_{S}={\frac {v_{{Bullet}}^{2}}{g}}\,\,2\left(\sin(\theta )\cos(\theta )-{\frac {\cos(\theta )^{2}\sin(\alpha )}{\cos(\alpha )}}\right)\sec(\alpha )\,]

Extract the factor [\cos(\theta )/\cos(\alpha )] from the expression in parentheses.

[R_{S}={\frac {v_{{Bullet}}^{2}}{g}}\,2{\frac {\cos(\theta )}{\cos(\alpha )}}\left(\sin(\theta )\cos(\alpha )-\sin(\alpha )\cos(\theta )\right)\sec(\alpha )\,]

The expression inside the parentheses is in the form of a sine difference formula. Also, multiply the resulting expression by the factor [\cos(\theta -\alpha )/\cos(\theta -\alpha )].

[R_{S}={\frac {v_{{Bullet}}^{2}}{g}}\,\left(2\sin(\theta -\alpha )\cos(\theta )-\alpha )\right){\frac {\cos(\theta )}{\cos(\alpha )\cos(\theta -\alpha )}}\sec(\alpha )\,]


Rifleman's rule

Factor the expression [\sin(2(\theta -\alpha ))] from the expression inside the parentheses. In addition, add and subtract the expression [\cos(\alpha )\cos(\theta -\alpha )] inside the parentheses.

[R_{S}={\frac {v_{{Bullet}}^{2}}{g}}\,\sin(2\left(\theta -\alpha )\right)\left({\frac {\cos(\alpha )\cos(\theta -\alpha )+\cos(\theta )-\cos(\alpha )\cos(\theta -\alpha )}{\cos(\alpha )\cos(\theta -\alpha )}}\right)\sec(\alpha )\,]

Let [\delta \theta =\theta -\alpha ].

[R_{S}={\frac {v_{{Bullet}}^{2}}{g}}\,\sin(2\delta \theta )\left({\frac {\cos(\alpha )\cos(\theta -\alpha )+\cos(\theta )-\cos(\alpha )\cos(\theta -\alpha )}{\cos(\alpha )\cos(\theta -\alpha )}}\right)\sec(\alpha )\,]

Let [R_{H}={\frac {v_{{Bullet}}^{2}\sin(2\delta \theta )}{g}}] (see Equation 1) and simplify the expression in parentheses.

[R_{S}=R_{H}\left(1+{\frac {\cos(\theta )-\cos(\alpha )\cos(\theta -\alpha )}{\cos(\alpha )\cos(\theta -\alpha )}}\right)\sec(\alpha )\,]


Rifleman's rule

Expand [\cos(\theta -\alpha )=\cos(\theta )\cos(\alpha )+\sin(\theta )\sin(\alpha )].

[R_{S}=R_{H}\left(1+{\frac {\cos(\theta )-\cos(\alpha )\left(\cos(\alpha )\cos(\theta )+\sin(\alpha )\sin(\theta )\right)}{\cos(\alpha )\cos(\theta -\alpha )}}\right)\sec(\alpha )\,]

Distribute the factor [\cos(\alpha )] through the expression.

[R_{S}=R_{H}\left(1+{\frac {\cos(\theta )-\cos(\alpha )^{2}\cos(\theta )-\cos(\alpha )\sin(\theta )\sin(\alpha )}{\cos(\alpha )\cos(\theta -\alpha )}}\right)\sec(\alpha )\,]

Factor out the [\cos(\alpha )] and substitute [\sin(\alpha )^{2}=1-\cos(\alpha )^{2}].

[R_{S}=R_{H}\left(1+{\frac {\cos(\theta )\sin(\alpha )^{2}-\cos(\alpha )\sin(\theta )\sin(\alpha )}{\cos(\alpha )\cos(\theta -\alpha )}}\right)\sec(\alpha )\,]

Factor out [\sin(\alpha )].


Rifleman's rule

Factor out [\sin(\alpha )].

[R_{S}=R_{H}\left(1+{\frac {\sin(\alpha )\left(\cos(\theta )\sin(\alpha )-\cos(\alpha )\sin(\theta )\right)}{\cos(\alpha )\cos(\theta -\alpha )}}\right)\sec(\alpha )\,]

Substitute [-\sin(\theta -\alpha )=\cos(\theta )\sin(\alpha )-\sin(\theta )\cos(\alpha )] into the equation.

[R_{S}=R_{H}\left(1-{\frac {\sin(\alpha )\sin(\theta -\alpha )}{\cos(\alpha )\cos(\theta -\alpha )}}\right)\sec(\alpha )\,]

Substitute the definitions of [\tan(\delta \theta )], [\tan(\alpha )], and [\delta \theta =\theta -\alpha \,] into the equation.

[R_{S}=R_{H}\left(1-\tan(\alpha )\tan(\delta \theta )\right)\sec(\alpha )]

This completes the derivation of the exact form of the rifleman's rule.

Wings (play)

This article is about the Arthur Kopit play. For other uses, see Wing (disambiguation).

Wings is a 1978 play by American playwright Arthur Kopit. Originating as a radio play, it was later adapted for stage and screen.

In 1976, Kopit was commissioned to write an original radio play by the NPR drama project Earplay. Just prior, his father suffered a debilitating stroke, which inspired Kopit to write the play about the language disorder and psychological perspective of a stroke victim. The female character of the play is an amalgam of two women who were both patients at the rehab center that cared for his father.

Production history

The first professional stage production of Wings opened at the Yale Repertory Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut on March 3, 1978, with Constance Cummings as Emily Stilson, and Marianne Owen as Amy.

The Yale Rep Theatre cast and crew was as follows:

  * Emily Stilson - Constance Cummings
  * Amy - Marianne Owen
  * Doctors - Geoffrey Pierson, Roy Steinberg
  * Nurses - Caris Corfman, Carol Ostrow
  * Billy - Richard Grusin
  * Mr. Brownstein - Ira Bernstein
  * Mrs. Timmins - Betty Pelzer
  * Directed by John Madden
  * Designed by Andrew Jackness
  * Costumes by Jeanne Button

It was filmed for U.S. television in 1983, starring Constance Cummings and Mary-Joan Negro.

Themes

Richard Eder wrote in The New York Times: "Wings is a remarkable attempt to dramatize the agony of a stroke victim. It presents [a] mind whose language has been knocked out from under it; one that struggles blindly, with alternating grace and terror, to regain its footing."

Michael Billington wrote: "...this is a play about language – about Emily’s progress from a jumbled, disordered speech to one that achieves a wondrous coherence."

Social firm

Social firm is the British term for a work integration social enterprise (WISE), a business created to employ people who have a disability or are otherwise disadvantaged in the labour market. Its commercial and production activities are undertaken in the context of a social mission, with profits going back into the company to further its goals. A significant number of the employees of social firms will be people with a disability or disadvantage, including mental health issues.

Social Firms England, which supports the development of the social firm sector in England,employment in businesses producing marketable goods and services, and those which work to improve the employability of those they work with.

History

The original social firms were established well before the term came into use in 1980s. Firms in Europe started to prosper and employ increasing numbers of people with a disability. Schemes, and coordinating organisations, became more established and numerous in the 1990

Iain Duncan Smith visited Pluss, a social firm in Exeter which makes cushions for wheelchairs and car upholstery, in March 2015. The firm is owned by four councils: Devon, Plymouth, Somerset and Torbay and is facing potential closure of its manufacturing operations in Exeter and Bridgwater, and rationalisation of corporate services could result in up to 75 redundancies.

Washington D.C.'s Newspaper Row

Newspaper Row was a district of Washington D.C., on the corner of 14th Street Northwest and Pennsylvania Avenue. Historian Paul Dickinson said the area “was sort of the center of the nation’s news gathering.” The area got its start when Western Union opened a telegraph station in the 1850s. Many newspapers, including The New York Times, New York World, The Boston Advertiser, The New York Tribune, The Baltimore Sun and The Washington Post had offices, or were based there. The National Press Building was built in the district in 1926, to consolidate the departments of the newspapers into one building. When the National Press Building moved, most of the newspapers left the district as well.

Torneo Gran Alternativa (2003)

The Torneo Gran Alternativa (2003) (Spanish for "Great Alternative Tournament") was a professional wrestling tournament held by the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; Spanish for "World Wrestling Council"). The tournament was held on January 1, 2003, in Mexico City, Mexico at CMLL's main venue, Arena México. The Gran Alternativa tournament features tag teams composed of a rookie, or novato, and a veteran wrestler for an elimination tournament. The idea is to feature the novato wrestlers higher on the card that they usually work and help elevate one or more up the ranks. CMLL made the Torneo Gran Alternativa an annual event in 1995, only skipping it four times between 1994 and 2017. since it is a professional wrestling tournament, it is not won or lost competitively but instead by the decisions of the bookers of a wrestling promotion that is not publicized prior to the shows to maintain the illusion that professional wrestling is a competitive sport.

The 2003 Gran Alternativa was held on January 1, 2003, and featured a Battle Royal between the eight rookies to determine the seeding for the tournament. Sangre Azteca won the battle royal, getting the number one seed for himself and Cien Caras. Order of elimination in the battle royal: #1 Marchall, #2 Loco Max, #3 Genético, #4 Ramstein, #5 Chris Stone, #6 Mr. Power and #7 Alan Stone. The final of the tournament saw Villaño IV and Alan Stone defeat Genético and Máscara Año 2000 in the final to win the tournament.AAA. In contrast the rookie "loser" of the final, Genético would be repackaged as "El Sagrado" in 2003 and given a push.

History

Starting in 1994 the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) created a special tournament concept where they would team up a novato, or rookie, with a veteran for a single-elimination tag team tournament with the purpose of increasing the profile of the rookie wrestler.


Torneo Gran Alternativa (2003)

CMLL had used a similar concept in August 1994 where Novato Shocker teamed up with veterans Ringo Mendoza and Brazo de Plata to defeat novato Apolo Dantés and veterans Gran Markus Jr. and El Brazo in the finals of a six-man tag team tournament.tag teams instead, creating a tournament that would be known as El Torneo Gran Alternativa, or "The Great Alternative Tournament", which became a recurring event on the CMLL calendar. CMLL did not hold a Gran Alternativa tournament in 1997 and 2000 held on each year from 2001 through 2014, opting not to hold a tournament in 2015.

Aftermath

Alan Stone would go on to win the Guapos U tournament to become a member of Los Guapos, but left CMLL by the end of 2004 to return to AAA and the Mexican independent circuit.


Torneo Gran Alternativa (2003)

The Gran Alternativa loss did not hold back Genético, instead CMLL decided to repackage him, giving him the name "El Sagrado", a new outfit including a mask with a silver cross on it and a storyline that claimed that he was the protégé of Fray Tormenta.Máximo and El Texano, Jr. to win the Mexican National Trios Championship, On April 24, 2007 the team lost the Mexican National Trios Championship to Los Perros del Mal (Damián 666, Halloween and Mr. Águila) when Texano, Jr. turned on his teammates and joined Los Perros del Mal.Volador Jr. and La Sombra to defeat Los Perros del Mal for the Mexican National Trios Championship.

In 2015 Sagrado turned rudo and adopted a darker persona and ring gear, replacing the bright cross imagery with darker burning cross symbols on his mask and tights. He later began to team regularly with the newest version of Comandante Pierroth and Misterioso, Jr. to form a group called La Comando Caribeño ("The Caribbean Commando"), adopting a storyline allegiance to Puerto Rico. In early 2015 La Comando began a storyline rivalry with the team of Delta and Guerrero Maya, Jr. over the CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship. On February 28, 2015 Misterioso, Jr. and Sagrado defeated Delta and Guerrero Maya, Jr. to win the championship.
