Bertha Southey Brammall

Bertha Southey Brammall Tasmanian writer 1935

Bertha Southey Brammall (10 December 1878 – 10 February 1957) was an Australian writer. A direct descendant of English Poet Laureate Robert Southey, Brammall wrote material for children's radio programs as well as poems, novels and short stories for adults. She was widely considered to be Tasmania's own poet and novelist.

Biography

Early life and education

Bertha Southey Brammall was born in Hamilton-on-Forth, Tasmania in 1878, one of twelve children of the Rev. Henry White Adams, school teacher and Katherine Adams (née Southey). The family residence, "Westleigh", was built for Edward J. Beecroft and is today an important historical house in the Ulverstone district. Bertha attended the Forth State School, where her nascent literary talents soon become evident, winning her a number of school artistic and writing prizes.

Career

Her writing career commenced at the age of 16 with the publication of her first novel, Dusky Dell, in 1898. Set in northern Tasmania, it tells the story of an orphan taken in by a large family, where she is harshly treated before being rescued by her long-lost parent. Brammall's only full-length novel, The Mystery of Four Corners, was published in serial form in the Weekly Courier in 1918.

Her most productive period as a poet was between the years 1896 and 1907, when many of her poems were published in the Tasmanian Mail, including a number of patriotic Tasmanian poems such as "Tasmania's Soldiers: The Men Who Went and the Women Who Sent them", "Tasmania's Tribute (Our Great National Triumph Song)" and "How the Tasmanians Enthused on Hearing of the Relief of Ladysmith in Hobart, Thursday Night". These poems firmly established her reputation as Tasmanian's national poet. One of her better known poems, "Hinkler in Italy", appeared in The Bulletin in 1933.

High on the shoulders of the Apennines,

Where only grey wolves roam,
They found our Hinkler 'mid the twisted pines,
Ten thousand miles from home.

Only the pale stars, and the wailing winds,
That lay the pine trees low,
Knew where he slept through the long winter nights,

In 1905, she married Thomas Colin Brammall. They moved to Melbourne for a time before returning to Hobart following her husband's appointment as a Master at The Hutchins School. Thomas Brammall was later a tutor at Christ College and was associated with the college and the University of Tasmania until his death in 1945.

In 1928, she began hosting a children's radio program as The Authoress on Hobart's Radio 7ZL, reciting original Australian fairy tales and poems for children. Broadcast twice a week the program was very popular, with Mrs Brammall receiving letters from all over Australia and as far away as New Zealand and South Africa. The program only ended when she left to nurse her sick husband.

She was intensely interested in the theatre and adapted parts of many English classics to the stage, often producing and acting in them herself. In 1934 she won second prize in an Australian Broadcasting Commission play-writing competition with her play, Flickering Candles, one of nearly 400 entries received. The play is a moving narrative of an episode of the convict days in Tasmania. An escaped prisoner takes refuge in the wardrobe of the rector's house. He turns out to be an Oxford man of good family wrongfully sentenced for another's crime. The maid recognises in him the sweetheart she had followed into exile. While the rector's wife is pleading with her husband to marry the couple and help them to escape, the police arrive to search the house. By a clever ruse the police are outwitted and the lovers get their chance to start out together in pursuit of happiness. The play was broadcast on radio 2BL in Sydney on 30 January 1935.

She was also a consistent winner in the old Lyceum Club literary circle in Hobart and was a regular contributor of short stories and poems to a number of Australian periodicals and women's magazines.

Death and afterward

Mrs Brammall died in Sydney on 10 February 1957. She was survived by four sons, two of whom became well-known Australian journalists, Mr C. C. Brammall and Mr Angus Garett Brammall. A fifth son, Bruce, died of tetanus as a young man. Her other two sons were Harry and Thomas.

Hestad Chapel

Hestad Chapel (Norwegian: Hestad kapell) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Sunnfjord Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Hestad, on a small peninsula jutting into the Hestadfjorden, a lake that is part of the river Gaula. Because of its location on a small "island"-like peninsula, the church is also known as the Øyrakyrkja ("island church"). It is one of the four churches for the Gaular parish which is part of the Sunnfjord prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1805 by an unknown architect. The church seats about 80 people.

History

Hestad Chapel on FV610P and FV421

The chapel has a history that dates back to the Middle Ages. Legend has it that there was a church at Øyra the 12th century, but in written sources it is first mentioned in accounts from 1327. In an overview of the local church's seven properties from ca. 1350, Øyra church is mentioned as one of the five churches in Gaular. This church in Hestad was a small wooden stave church. After the Black Death the church was no longer regularly used. Historical records show that the church was again in regular use by the late 16th century.

Before the road on the south side of the lake was opened in 1884, the lake was the main route of transportation through the Gaula river valley. The chapel was located in the middle of the lake, making it the perfect location. In the summer, people went boat through the strait by the chapel and in winter they sled across the lake.


Hestad Chapel

In 1805, the old chapel was demolished and a new one was built on the same site partly of material from the old chapel. The new church building was constructed by volunteer labor from the nearby residents. The small, wooden chapel seats about 80 people and the nave measures about 9 by 6.5 metres (30 ft × 21 ft) and the choir measures about 4 by 5.5 metres (13 ft × 18 ft). The roof and tower were destroyed by a strong storm in 1864. Repairs and the construction of a new tower took place soon after. The church bell is from the 17th century. The altarpiece is from 1805. The chapel is only used for special worship as well as for funerals and weddings. The church was owned by a number of local farmers until 1917 when it was purchased by the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments (Fortidsminneforeningen). The chapel and surrounding area are protected due to historical and natural qualities. In 1940, a bridge was built over the straits and in 1970 a road was built on the north shore of the Hestad Fjord (which is actually a lake). Norwegian county roads FV610P and FV421 pass right in front of the chapel.

Halide (programming language)

Halide is a computer programming language designed for writing digital image processing code that takes advantage of memory locality, vectorized computation and multi-core CPUs and GPUs.domain-specific language (DSL) in C++.

Language

The main innovation Halide brings is the separation of the algorithm being implemented from its execution schedule, i.e. code specifying the loop nesting, parallelization, loop unrolling and vector instruction. These two are usually interleaved together and experimenting with changing the schedule requires the programmer to rewrite large portions of the algorithm with every change. With Halide, changing the schedule does not require any changes to the algorithm and this allows the programmer to experiment with scheduling and finding the most efficient one.

Sample source code

The following function defines and sets the schedule for a 3×3 box filter defined as a series of two 3×1 passes:

Func blur_3x3(Func input) {
  Func blur_x, blur_y;
  Var x, y, xi, yi;

  // The algorithm - no storage or order
  blur_x(x, y) = (input(x-1, y) + input(x, y) + input(x+1, y))/3;

Battle of the Panaro

"Battle of Castelfranco" redirects here. For the 1805 battle, see battle of Castelfranco Veneto.

The Battle of the Panaro (or Modena or Castelfranco) was a victory for King Joachim Murat's Neapolitan forces over a smaller Austrian force under Frederick Bianchi on 3 April 1815 early in the Neapolitan War. This defeat on the banks on the Panaro River, just south of Modena forced the Austrians to retreat behind the Po River.

Background

When Naples declared war on Austria, Austrian troops were still gathering in Lombardy. Only a small force of about 6,600 men commanded by General Bianchi, who was stationed in the Duchy of Modena, were in position to check the Neapolitan advance. Murat with his main army of around 40,000 men had already established a main headquarters in Ancona and were marching north. Following a minor skirmish on 30 March near Cesena, the Austrians under Bianchi fell back to a new defensive line behind the Panaro River. This allowed the Neapolitans to capture Bologna on 2 April, from where they prepared another assault on the Austrians.

Battle

On 3 April, one day after capturing Bologna, a Neapolitan division under the command of Michele Carrascosa attempted to cross the Panaro. After being driven back from two other bridges, the Neapolitans finally crossed the Panaro at Castelfranco Emilia and made a sweeping charge on Bianchi's position. As heavy fighting continued in the center of the Austrian position, Murat ordered a column under General Colletta to sweep left and push on the Austrian fight flank. Outnumbered, the Austrian right flank was turned and Bianchi was compelled to sound the retreat. With more Neapolitan troops arriving from Bologna, the Austrian retreated back to their lands behind the Po River. Following the battle, Carascosa and his troops immediately occupied the major towns of the Duchy of Modena: Modena, Reggio Emilia and Carpi.

Bertha Putnam

Bertha Haven Putnam (1872 – February 26, 1960) was an American historian, specialising on the judicial and administrative history of medieval England.

Putnam grew up in Philadelphia, the daughter of George Haven Putnam, author and publisher, and son of the publisher George Palmer Putnam. She attended Bryn Mawr College, and got her bachelor's degree in 1893. She later taught at the Brearley School in New York City, before getting her doctorate from Columbia University in 1908. She started teaching at Mount Holyoke College in 1908, and was made professor in 1924. Here she remained until her retirement in 1937.Nellie Neilson, a fellow medievalist.Eileen Power and Helen Cam.shingles left her partially blind in the late 1940s. Putnam died of arteriosclerosis in South Hadley, Massachusetts in 1960.

Her main focus was the office of the Justice of the Peace, and how it developed from the Conservator of the Peace in the early- to mid-14th century. In particular she proved the importance of the Statute of Labourers in giving these officers the right to decide cases, and thereby establishing them as justices. The change was sanctioned by the Statute of Westminster of 1361.

ISEE-1

The ISEE-1 (International Sun-Earth Explorer-A or ISEE-A) was an Explorer-class mother spacecraft, International Sun-Earth Explorer-1, was part of the mother/daughter/heliocentric mission (ISEE-1, ISEE-2, ISEE-3). ISEE-1 was a 340.2 kg (750 lb) space probe used to study magnetic fields near the Earth.Interplanetary Monitoring Platform) series of spacecraft.ISEE-2 were launched on 22 October 1977, and they re-entered on 26 September 1987.

Mission

ISEE-1 and ISEE-2 satellites at Kennedy Space Center

International Sun Earth Explorers Orbits

The purposes of the mission were: (1) to investigate solar-terrestrial relationships at the outermost boundaries of the Earth's magnetosphere, (2) to examine in detail the structure of the solar wind near the Earth and the shock wave that forms the interface between the solar wind and the Earth's magnetosphere, (3) to investigate motions of and mechanisms operating in the plasma sheets, and (4) to continue the investigation of cosmic rays and solar flare effects in the interplanetary region near 1 AU. The three spacecraft carried a number of complementary instruments for making measurements of plasmas, energetic particles, waves, and fields. The mission thus extended the investigations of previous IMP spacecraft. The mother/daughter portion of the mission consisted of two spacecraft (ISEE-1 and ISEE-2) with station-keeping capability in the same highly eccentric geocentric orbit with an apogee of 23 Earth radii (Re).solar and lunar perturbations. These two spacecraft maintained a small separation distance, and made simultaneous coordinated measurements to permit separation of spatial from temporal irregularities in the near-Earth solar wind, the bow shock, and inside the magnetosphere. By maneuvering ISEE-2, the inter-spacecraft separation as measured near the Earth's bow shock was allowed to vary between 10 km (6.2 mi) and 5,000 km (3,100 mi); its value is accurately known as a function of time and orbital position.


ISEE-1

The program was a cooperative mission between NASA and European Space Research Organisation (ESRO) (later European Space Agency (ESA)) designed to study the interaction between the Earth's magnetic field and the solar wind. At least 32 institutions were involved, and the focus was on understanding magnetic fields. ISEE-1 and ISEE-3 were built by NASA, while ISEE-2 was built by ESA. All three had complementary instruments supported by the same group of over 100 scientists.

Spacecraft

ISEE-1 was a cylinder at 16 sided of 1.73 m (5 ft 8 in) of diameter and of 1.61 m (5 ft 3 in) in height.ecliptic plane, pointing north. The spin rates were nominally 19.75 rpm for ISEE-1 and 19.8 rpm for ISEE-2, so that there was a slow differential rotation between the two spacecraft. The ISEE-1 body-mounted solar array provided approximately 175 watts initially and 131 watts after three years, at 28 volts during normal operation. The ISEE-1 data rate was 4096 bit/s most of the time and 16384 bit/s during one orbit out of every five (with some exceptions).

Experiments

DC and low frequency electric fields, double-probe (0.19-1900 Hz)


ISEE-1

This experiment was intended to study quasi-static electric fields and low-frequency plasma waves in the plasmasphere, magnetosphere, magnetosheath, and solar wind. The double-probe floating-potential technique was applied using long-wire antenna probes with an effective electric field baseline of 179 m (587 ft). The DC differential voltage was measured 8 or 32 times per second, depending on bit rate. In addition, the DC field was measured at selected azimuthal angles relative to the Sun and the magnetic field, and the peak value of delta-v and its azimuthal angles were measured. Low-frequency waves were measured in eight frequency bands as follows: 0.19 to 0.6, 0.6 to 1.9, 1.9 to 6, 6 to 19, 19 to 60, 60 to 190, 190 to 600, and 600 to 1900 Hz. The DC-mode measurements had a two-step, variable-gain amplifier controlled from the ground. The resolution in the highest gain state was 0.5E-6 V/m. The AC measurement electronics consisted of two amplifier sections. One amplifier was used for low-frequency channels, and one for high-frequency channels. Gain lines for each amplifier were independently controllable from the ground. In the highest-gain mode, each analyzer channel had a sensitivity of 0.04E-6 V/m (rms). The experiment could be run in either a Sun-sensor synchronized or a free state as controlled from the ground. In addition, the AC portion could be run in an averaging mode, or an alternating averaging and peak-amplitude-detection mode keyed to the telemetry readout sequence.

Electron and Proton Fluxes in the Outer Magnetosphere (1.5-300 keV)


ISEE-1

This experiment was designed to determine, by using identical instrumentation (see ISEE-2) on the mother/daughter spacecraft, the spatial extent, propagation velocity, and temporal behavior of a wide variety of particle phenomena. Electrons were measured at 2 and 6 keV and in two bands: 8 to 200 keV and 30 to 200 keV. Protons were measured at 2 and 6 keV and in three bands: 8 to 200 keV, 30 to 200 keV, and 200 to 380 keV. The 30 keV threshold could be commanded to 15 or 60 keV. Identical instrumentation on each spacecraft consisted of a pair of surface-barrier semiconductor detector telescopes (one with a foil and one without a foil) and four fixed-voltage cylindrical electrostatic analyzers (two for electrons and two for protons). Channel multipliers were used as detectors with the fixed-voltage analyzers. The telescopes had a viewing cone with a 40° half-angle, oriented at about 20° to the spin axis.

Energetic Ion Mass Spectrometer (0-17 keV/q; 1 AMU to > 150 AMU)

The objective of this investigation was to determine the ion composition and energy spectra of the plasma within the magnetosphere, magnetosheath, and solar wind, and to determine the angular distribution of the plasma in the magnetosheath. An energetic ion mass spectrometer was flown that had an electrostatic energy analyzer followed by a combined cylindrical electrostatic/magnetic mass analyzer. A combination of electron multipliers was used as the detector. The energy-per-unit-charge range measured was from 0 to 17 keV/Q. The mass-per-unit-charge range measured extended from 1 to 150 u/Q.

Fast Plasma Experiment (FPE) and Solar Wind Ion Experiment (SWE)


ISEE-1

This experiment was designed, in conjunction with a similar instrument (1977-102B-01) provided by G. Paschmann of Max Planck Institute for flight on the daughter spacecraft, to study the plasma velocity distribution and its spatial and temporal variations in the solar wind, bow shock, magnetosheath, magnetopause, magnetotail, and magnetosphere. The FPE consists of three high efficience 90° spherical section electrostatic analyzers using large secondary emitters and discrete dynode multipliers to detect analyzed particles. Two of them, viewing in opposite directions, produce complete 2D velocity distribution measurements of both protons and electrons every spacecraft revolution. A third FPE analyzer with a divided emitter measures 3D distributions at a slower rate. Protons from 50 eV to 40 keV and electrons from 5 eV to 20 keV were measured The experiment operated in two ranges, with energy resolution for the several steps in each range of 10% of the center energy level. The Solar Wind Experiment (SWE) measures solar wind ions. It is composed of two 150° spherical section analyzers using the same set of plates. The two acceptance fans are tilted with respect to each other so that 3D characteristics of the ion distributions can be derived. The ion experiment had degraded by April 1980 and the density values are suspected to be too low in later years. To protect the instrument, this experiment was turned off whenever the spacecraft was below 30,000 km (19,000 mi). The Fast Plasma Experiment (FPE) had degraded by January 1978.

Gamma-Ray Bursts (Time History)


ISEE-1

Gamma-Ray Bursts (Time History)

This experiment was designed to recognize and record the time history of gamma-ray bursts. Two sensors were used: a 4 cm (1.6 in)-diameter, CsI scintillator system and a 6-cm2, solid-state (Cadmium telluride (CdTe)) array. An intensity increase in either of the sensors could cause a trigger signal to occur, freezing the circulating memory of the immediate past counting-rate history and filling another memory with the counting rates for 1 minute following the trigger signal. The time of the trigger signal and its location in the temporal history were also stored in memory. All stored information was then read out at a very low bit rate during the succeeding several hours. Three trigger signals were used based on total counts in 4 ms, 32 ms, and 256 ms. Six memories were used, three before and three after the trigger signal, yielding storage of 1/64, 1/8, and 1 minute of data each to provide detailed rise-time information.

Low Energy Cosmic Ray Experiment


ISEE-1

Low Energy Cosmic Ray Experiment

This instrument, carried on both ISEE-1 and ISEE-3, was designed to measure solar, interplanetary, and magnetospheric energetic ions in numerous bands within the energy range 2 keV/charge to 80 MeV/nucleon, and electrons in four contiguous bands from 75 to 1300 keV. At the lower energies, charge states of heavy ions in the high-speed (> 500 km/s (310 mi/s)) solar wind were determined. In the range 0.3 to 80 MeV/nucleon, the energy spectra, anisotropies, and composition of energetic ions were determined. In the limited range 0.4 to 6 MeV/nucleon, simultaneous determination of ionic and nuclear charge was possible. The instrument consisted of three different sensor systems. "ULECA" (ultralow-energy charge analyzer) was an electrostatic analyzer with solid-state detectors. Its energy range was approximately 3 to 560 keV/charge. "ULEWAT" (ultralow-energy wide-angle telescope) was a double dE/dx vs E, thin-window, flow-through proportional counter/solid-state detector telescope covering the range 0.2 to 80 MeV/nucleon (Fe). "ULEZEQ" (ultralow-energy Z, E, and Q) was a combination of an electrostatic analyzer and a dE/dx vs E system with a thin-window proportional counter and a position-sensitive solid-state detector. The energy range was 0.4 to 6 MeV/nucleon. Data was obtained in 45° sectors.

Low-Energy Proton and Electron Differential Energy Analyzer (LEPEDEA)


ISEE-1

This experiment was designed to study, by means of identical instrumentation on the mother/daughter spacecraft, the spatial and temporal variations of the solar wind and magnetosheath electrons and ions. Protons and electrons in the energy range from 1 eV to 45 keV were measured in 64 contiguous energy bands with an energy resolution (delta E/E) of 0.16. A quadrispherical low-energy proton and electron differential energy analyzer (LEPEDEA), employing seven continuous channel electron multipliers in each of its two (one for protons and one for electrons) electrostatic analyzers was flown on both the mother and the daughter spacecraft. All but 2% of the 4-pi-sr solid angle was covered for particle velocity vectors. A Geiger–Müller tube was also included, with a conical field of view of 40° full-angle, perpendicular to the spin axis. This detector was sensitive to electrons with E>45 keV, and to protons with E>600 keV.

Medium Energy Particles Experiment (METE)

This experiment was designed to identify and to study plasma instabilities responsible for acceleration, source and loss mechanisms, and boundary and interface phenomena throughout the orbital range of the mother/daughter satellites. A proton telescope and an electron spectrometer were flown on each spacecraft to measure detailed energy spectrum and angular distributions. These detectors used silicon surface-barrier, totally depleted solid-state devices of various thicknesses, areas, and configurations. Protons in 8 or 16 channels between 20 keV and 1.2 MeV, and electrons in 8 or 16 channels between 20 keV and 1 MeV, were measured. A separate solid-state detector system measured the energy spectra and pitch-angle distributions of alpha particles and heavy ions in the energy range above 125 keV per nucleon.

Plasma (Total Electron) Density by Radio Techniques


ISEE-1

Plasma (Total Electron) Density by Radio Techniques

This experiment measured the plasma electron density near the mother satellite and also the total electron content between the mother (ISEE-1) and the daughter (ISEE-2) spacecraft. The experiment consisted of two distinct parts. The mother spacecraft carried an experiment (the sounder) to detect resonances of the ambient plasma. After an antenna had been momentarily excited at one of the characteristic frequencies of the plasma in which it was immersed, a pronounced "ringing" was observed. These resonances occurred at the plasma frequency, the upper hybrid resonance, the cyclotron frequency and its harmonics, and the measurement of their frequencies permitted the determination of several plasma parameters, including the electron density. In this experiment, the transmitter was designed to step through 128 sub-bands, covering the characteristic resonance frequencies of the plasma, from 0.3 to 50.9-kHz, and from 0 to 353-kHz. The integrated density between the mother and the daughter was obtained from a second experiment (the propagation experiment) that measured the phase delay introduced by the ambient plasma onto a wave of frequency about 683-kHz transmitted from the mother and received on the daughter (experiment 1977-102A-06). The phase was compared against a phase-coherent signal transmitted from the mother to the daughter by modulation onto a carrier of frequency high enough to be unaffected by the ambient plasma (272.5-MHz). Due to perturbations to other experiments, active operation was on a limited duty cycle.

Plasma waves: electric and magnetic fields spectra, flux, direction (5.62 Hz-31.1 khz)


ISEE-1

This experiment, in conjunction with a similar (but simpler) experiment (1977-102B-05) on ISEE-2, was designed to measure wave phenomena occurring within the magnetosphere and solar wind. Three electric dipole antennas (215 m (705 ft), 73.5 m (241 ft) and 0.61 m (2 ft 0 in)) and a triaxial search-coil antenna were used. The instrumentation consisted of four main elements: (1) a narrow-band sweep-frequency receiver with 32 frequency steps in each of four bands from 100-Hz to 400-kHz, a complete sweep required 32 seconds; (2) a high-time-resolution spectrum analyzer with 20 channels from 5.62-Hz to 31.1-kHz for electric field and 14 identical channels from 5.62-Hz to 10-kHz for magnetic field information, the electric and magnetic channels were sampled simultaneously; (3) a wave-normal analyzer to provide components for computing the wave normal and the Poynting flux, this analyzer had a 10-Hz bandwidth, and covered 32 frequencies from 100-Hz to 5-kHz; and (4) a wide-band receiver to condition electric and magnetic waveforms for transmission to the ground via the special-purpose analog transmitter, this receiver also provided the signals for long-baseline-interferometer measurements between ISEE-1 and ISEE-2. There were two basic frequency channels: 10-Hz to 1-kHz and 650-Hz to 10 or 40-kHz. In addition, the frequency range could be shifted by a frequency-conversion scheme to any of eight ranges up to 2-MHz.

Quasi-static and low-frequency electric fields (0.1-200 mV/m, frequency < 1000Hz)


ISEE-1

The objective of this experiment was to study quasi-static and low-frequency electric fields in the plasmasphere, magnetosphere, magnetosheath, and solar wind. Measurements were made of the potential difference between a pair of 8 cm (3.1 in) diameter vitreous carbon spheres which were separated by 73.5 m (241 ft) and mounted on the ends of wire booms in the satellite spin plane. To attempt to overcome the spacecraft sheath (a potential problem which plagues all electric field detectors), an electron gun for changing the spacecraft potential was included, and all exposed spacecraft surfaces were made electrically conducting. The instrument was designed to be sensitive to fields from 0.1 to 200 mV/m in the frequency band of 0 to 12-Hz. The experiment also measured the electric field component of waves at frequencies below 1000-Hz.

Triaxial Fluxgate Magnetometer


ISEE-1

The magnetic fields investigation selected for ISEE-1 and ISEE-2 had as its principal objectives the study of the magnetic signatures of magnetospheric phenomena and magnetohydrodynamic waves in and around the magnetosphere, and to provide supporting data for other experiments on the spacecraft such as the electric field, particle and plasma wave investigations. In this triaxial fluxgate magnetometer, three ring-core sensors in an orthogonal triad were enclosed in a flipper mechanism at the end of the magnetometer boom. The electronics unit was on the main body of the spacecraft at the foot of the boom. The magnetometer


ISEE-1

boom. The magnetometer had two operating ranges of ± 8192 nT and ± 256 nT in each vector component. The data were digitized and averaged within the instrument to provide increased resolution and to provide Nyquist filtering. There were two modes for the transmission of the averaged data. In the double-precision mode of operation, 16-bit samples of data were transmitted. This provided a maximum resolution of ± 1/4 nT or 1/128 nT in the low-sensitivity and high-sensitivity ranges. In the single-precision mode, any 8 consecutive bits of the above 16 bits were selected by ground command for


ISEE-1

ground command for transmission and the telemetry bandwidths of the magnetometer were doubled. This bandwidth varied from 2-Hz for the low-telemetry-rate, double-precision experiment mode to 32-Hz for the high-telemetry-rate, single-precision experiment mode. Operation of this experiment was near nominal until spacecraft re-entry on 26 September 1987. Users of data from this experiment should be aware of the fact that the averaging of 12-bit samples to create 16-bit samples worked well in the spin plane, but in situations during which the field along the spin axis was quiet relative to the size of a digital window,


ISEE-1

a digital window, the magnetometer returned only a 12-bit sample. This was particularly noticeable when the spacecraft was in the solar wind and the instrument was operated in its low gain (8192 nT) range, and when the spacecraft was in quiet regions of the magnetosphere in the low gain mode. The former situation limited the resolution of the field measured to 4 nT in the double precision mode in which the magnetometer usually was operated, and the latter situation created, as the spacecraft moved through the large gradient in the Earth's magnetic field, a stairstep pattern of field


ISEE-1

pattern of field changes of size 4 nT which may be mistaken for waves. Another operational anomaly was the saturation of a sensor during gain changes. At these times, the 3 components of the magnetic field were deduced from one spin tone and the field along the spin axis, limiting the temporal resolution of the instrument to below the spin frequency. Every effort was made to minimize zero level errors, clerical errors and other data processing anomalies within the available resources. However, these resources were very constrained and funding ceased before the entire submitted data set could be checked.


ISEE-1

Vector Electron Spectrometer Experiment

This experiment studied the transport coefficients of turbulence in the collisionless plasma represented by the interplanetary medium and magnetosheath, low-energy solar electron events, and bow-shock-associated electrons. Two triaxial systems of 127° cylindrical electrostatic analyzers were used to make three-dimensional measurements of the electron distribution function. There were three modes of operation, with the following nominal energy ranges: solar wind, 7 to 500 eV; magnetosheath, 10 eV to 2 keV; and magnetotail and solar, 105 eV to 7.05 keV. The energy resolution (delta E/E) was 0.07. The entire set of six simultaneous spectrometer measurements was taken while the satellite rotated through 60°. Each spectrometer consisted of a curved-plate analyzer and two channeltron detectors.

Very low frequency (1-32 kHz) Wave-Particle Interactions in the Magnetosphere

This experiment was intended to provide data to study interactions between discrete Very low frequency (VLF) waves and energetic particles in the magnetosphere. The VLF waves were produced by a ground-based transmitter. Injection of the waves beyond the ionosphere was assured by transmitter location in a region where the magnetic lines of force are open: in this case, the Siple Station, Antarctica. The injected signal and any stimulated VLF emissions were recorded through a loop antenna by a 1 to 32-kHz broadband receiver on the satellite. The observed parameters were the intensities of received radio frequency waves as a function of time.

Orbit

ISEE-1 and ISEE-2 remained near the Earth. ISEE-3 was the first spacecraft to be placed in a halo orbit at the Earth-Sun Lagrange point L1 and it was later deployed into a heliocentric orbit.

Atmospheric entry

Both ISEE-1 and ISEE-2 re-entered the Earth's atmosphere during orbit 1518 on 26 September 1987. Seventeen of 21 on-board experiments were operational at the end.

Hessville, New York

Hessville is a hamlet in the Town of Minden in Montgomery County, New York, United States. It is located on New York State Route 163 (NY 163).


Château de Gageac

Château de Gageac is an ancient monument from the 12th/14th/18th centuries. It is a château located near Gageac-et-Rouillac in the Dordogne department in south-west France. Constructed as a fortress in the 12th century, it was besieged in 1377 during the Hundred Years' War by troops loyal to Charles V of France. Later it was converted to a residence, and it has been in the ownership of the de Vivans family for six generations. A large dovecote facing the castle is a notable feature.

On the wine trail between Bergerac (18 km) and Sainte-Foy-la-Grande (12 km), this castle is one of the most charming of South Bergerac, overlooking the Dordogne valley and surrounded by vineyards, whose wine has an international reputation. Its architecture with simple and imposing lines makes this castle one of the most harmonious of the region. Its location was chosen to be a stronghold of the castle of Duras.

Duras is located about twenty kilometers south and it belonged to the Dukes of the same name belonging to the Durfort family. Gageac faced the Dordogne valley and Laforce another stronghold. There may have been animosity between the two Duchies. The original 12th-century fortress was only composed of a square tower - the keep (west side). The keep, which was the only stone building, was defended by wooden fortifications. The entrance is situated on the first floor which is reached by a ladder that was removed when attackers came. They sent carrier pigeons to deter Duras (there are traces of putlogs (nests) over the guard room). This keep is divided into two main parts: one is called the "guard room" located in the highest part, lighted by a window which can be seen on the north side. Its access is by a strange staircase, which was built in the thickness of the walls. The other room is barely lit (only by a basement window), with access from the first floor, and the ground level of the rock is the dungeon or oubliette. It was used as a store for food or weapons, and is entered using the ladder also used to access the tower.


Château de Gageac

During the Middle Ages, men who were guarding the tower were housed there. Duras provided weapons and maybe some horses. But Gageac had to organize its own food; this is the reason why we find in old books "the robbers of Gageac just skimming the outskirts of the Madeleine." Gageac was later expanded. Another building separate from the dungeon was built to house the troops. It was possible to move from one building to another with the help of a removable panel on the first floor.

When the English invaded the region, Gageac was burned and rebuilt, but the dungeon remained intact. Around 1350, the castle was enlarged by adding a tower whose framework was the work of a marine architect. The dry moat surrounding the current buildings was protected by wetlands. A second wall, flanked by watchtowers, stood outside the moat. It was a fortress, in modern terms a garrison house.

Hundred Years' War


Château de Gageac

Hundred Years' War

In August–September 1377, King Charles V decided to reclaim the region for the Kingdom of France.Louis I, Duke of Anjou, who marched into the region during the summer of 1377. Initially, the expedition was easy: the small neighboring towns of Bergerac submitted, including La Force. But when he realized that the Anglo-Gascon, Perducat d'Albret, governor of Bergerac, was determined to resist, he called for help from the Constable du Guesclin.La Réole in order to bring back a sow or "turtle" (a huge rolling machine that could hold a hundred men and throw huge stones), but the Anglo-Gascon Sir Thomas Felton, Seneschal of Gascony, arrived quickly from Bordeaux with a squad in order to cut their road.Du Guesclin heard of the intentions of Felton and sent a strong company to reinforce the squad. The clash took place near Eymet, and the troops of Charles V won the battle. There were many killed and wounded, and Sir Thomas Felton and Gaillard II de Durfort were taken prisoner.Constable Guesclin excelled in the art of sieges; he was skilled in the use of projectiles and relied heavily on the terror inspired by his reputation. He stayed five days outside Gageac. The Anglo-Gascons of Gageac had not stored enough food to outlast a long siege. After the first bombing, the defenders capitulated, fearing that otherwise a massacre might result. Next Du Guesclin bombarded Bergerac, which opened the city to him, and Perducat d’Albret fled with his troops. On September 2, 1377, the local leaders swore loyalty to the Duke of Anjou. War ended, and there was no reason to have a stronghold.

Conversion to a residence


Château de Gageac

Conversion to a residence

Gaillard de Durfort of Duras decided to convert Gageac into a residence, which was later added to by the d'Essenault de Castelnau and then by the du Reclus. All of these embellished the château to make it more livable. During the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, Gageac was profoundly transformed and beautified. The main building was extended upwards by attics, 3 doubles and 2 singles from north to south. There is still one in the front, a floor was removed and large windows were opened.

On the way to the pigeon loft, there is a small well-shaped square, one of the oldest in the village. Legend says that the Virgin used to appear, and processions took place there each year with the gilded image of the Virgin located right in the chapel of the church.

The impressive pigeon loft of 7 meters in diameter and about 10 meters high was built facing the castle and was the mark of Lordship. The pigeon loft had several functions: to provide meat and to produce fertilizer for the vineyard. The ground level was designed for poultry. The dovecote was situated on the first floor. Nest boxes were accessible with a ladder but we do not know the number because the interior has been modified over the years. The regulation of the number of nests was strict and could not be more than 5 acres (20,000 m2) per nest. The pigeon loft bears a stone above the front door, but we do not know its meaning. The frame, cover and upper frieze were completely restored in 2009.


Château de Gageac

du Reclus’ family, who had visited the court of Versailles for the favor of the King, had a very expensive life, so Gageac was forgotten. In the 19th century the buildings were in very bad condition; the Doussaut de la Primaudiere helped by their son-in-law renovated the castle with modern techniques. The main staircase was doubled in the West Dungeon. They opened a mullion window to create an extra room. The interior layout has been redefined by brickwork walls and plasterwork. Old fireplaces were removed and replaced with modern ones. The north terrace was made using remains of old fortifications, and a monumental gate was created. The spring was channeled to flow into ponds: the large pond is about 1.20 m deep. During the 19th century an avenue was created for the arrival of carriages through the woods, and an avenue of cedar of Lebanon was planted (partially destroyed in two recent storms).

The mulberry bushes along the road were for rearing Bombyx (silkworm), and were a great success in the 1870s. Bombyx feed on the leaves of the mulberry, whose growth is very rapid. The cocoons were boiled and sent to Lyon, then a silk manufacturing centre, to be unwound, forming embroidery thread of high quality.

Gageac still belongs to the family de la Verrie de Vivans originating from Siorac-en-Périgord, descendants of the famous Captain Geoffrey de Vivans. The family have owned the property for six generations.

Islands of Space

Not to be confused with Space Island.

Islands of Space is a science fiction novel by American writer John W. Campbell Jr. It was first published in book form in 1957 by Fantasy Press in an edition of 1,417 copies. The novel originally appeared in the magazine Amazing Stories Quarterly; the text was "extensively edited" for book publication, with Campbell's approval, by Lloyd Arthur Eshbach.Ace Books in 1966. In 1973, Islands was included in a Doubleday omnibus of all three "Arcot, Wade, and Morey" novels. A German translation appeared in 1967 as Kosmische Kreuzfahrt, and an Italian translation was published in 1976 as Isole nello spazio.

Islands of Space is generally credited with introducing the concepts of hyperspace and the warp drive to science fiction.

Plot introduction

Islands of Space is a sequel to The Black Star Passes. It concerns the adventures of four heroes: Arcot, Morey, Wade, and Fuller. It is followed by Invaders from the Infinite.

Reception

Theodore Sturgeon, reviewing the Fantasy Press edition, wrote "This is a real lousy book", faulting its lack of characterization, suspense, and plot, and a writing style "such as would dry up the purple blood of the sleaziest fan magazine". "BUT --", he continued, "Islands is a voyage far afield and a catalogue of the marvels of other-where, ... a cornucopia of technological and mechanistic matter, both real and extrapolated, poured out prodigiously and with abandon, [and] a narrative which could not occur without its science -- the purest, and almost the rarest form of science fiction." Sturgeon concluded, "It is high time and past time for [science fiction] to infuse itself with the rich hot blood of the old space-opera".

P. Schuyler Miller wrote that the book version "has been carefully modernized, [but] it's old-fashioned now. It is also very characteristic of the best "hard" science fiction of its day."hard science fiction.


Islands of Space

E. F. Bleiler described the original text as "Greatly overloaded with unnecessary (although at times ingenious) exposition, hence almost unreadable; weak novelistically; and clichéd in its action plot."

Islands of Space was originally published in the Spring 1931 Amazing Stories Quarterly

Horus Temple

Horus Temple is a 6,150 ft elevation summit located in the Grand Canyon, in Coconino County of Arizona, Southwestern United States. This butte is situated as the central landform in a 3-series line of peaks southwest of the Shiva Temple (forested)-tableland prominence.

Geology

The top of Horus Temple is a flat ~north-south platform composed of the reddish Pennsylvanian-Permian Supai Group.Esplanade Sandstone. At the north end of this platform is the butte’s prominence, an extremely fractured remnant, of cliff-former Coconino Sandstone capstone, upon a small slope of slope-forming, deep brown-red Hermit Formation.

The Supai Group sits on the resistant cliff-forming, typically massive Redwall Limestone, (as in the connected Tower of Set southwards). The base of the Redwall has a short, but resistant cliff of (3rd-unit) Muav Limestone. Below the Muav are units 2 and 1 of the 3-unit Tonto Group, the colorful dull-greenish Bright Angel Shale, and dp-brown Tapeats Sandstone.

  * a A running total of the number of general managers of the franchise. Thus any general manager who has two or more separate terms as general manager is only counted once. Interim general managers do not count towards the total.
  * b Gerry Ehman and Denis Ball have been wrongly identified as general manager when their official title was director of player personnel, whose main duties were to be in charge of the amateur scouting and made decisions regarding the NHL draft. The error must have begun when Chuck Catto was demoted from general manager to director of player personnel on April 7, 1974. Sid Salomon III took on the title of President and Managing Director after the position of general manager was eliminated on August 24, 1974.

Cal Yachts

Cal Yachts (also known as Jensen Marine and Cal Boats) was a manufacturer of performance oriented fiberglass sailboats from the 1960s to the 1980s. The Costa Mesa, California, headquartered company was founded in 1957, among the earliest of all-fiberglass, mass-production sailboat builders. Although the brand has been out of production since 1989,racing and cruising.

History

Cal 2-27

Cal 25

Cal Yachts was originally named the Jensen Marine Corporation after the founder, Jack Jensen, a fiberglass boat builder. He sold his company to Bangor Punta Corporation in 1968.Ranger sailboats and a line of molded fiberglass recreational vehicles called "Balboa".

Nearly 18,000 boats were built under the Cal brand name. There were many different models – the first of the ultra-light, production ocean racers, the Cal 40 was inspired by ocean racer George Griffith, of the Los Angeles Yacht Club.Persephone, but had to guarantee the sale of ten boats, which was quickly accomplished, even before the first boat was out of the mold. Lofting was performed by Willis Boyd. A major undertaking for its time and radically different from other production racing sailboats with its fin keel separated from a spade rudder mounted well aft, the Cal 40 astonished the yachting communityNewport-Bermuda Race as recently as 2022.Transpac from Los Angeles to Honolulu and in 2005 recorded 14 entries, more than any other production sailboat at any time in the century-long history of this, America's longest-running ocean yacht race.


Cal Yachts

The Cal 34 was also designed by Bill Lapworth. It was originally designed as a well built comfortable coastal cruising boat with a roomy cabin layout, large V-berth, and large cockpit. There were upgrades and improvements to the 34 over the last few years of its production to make it better for bluewater and long range cruising, with the hull being strengthened, a redesigned cockpit with a strong bridge deck and the steel support beam replaced with aluminum, but the hull shape remained the same. with the 34-III model was last produced in 1979. The Mk III model has its hull laid up stronger it could take more ballast but with sail area slightly reduced, so with having an SA/Disp ratio of 16.38, a Disp/L ratio of 259.08 and a ballast/disp ratio of 45.58, it is set up well to be a much stronger ocean cruiser than the first model, with good performance in speed and pointing ability, and a more than adequate righting ability. The later models had, in addition to more ballast, a higher aspect rig, and a newer and more comfortable cabin layout.

Also worthy of mention as a popular model, is the Cal 27.

The Jensen-Lapworth collaboration resulted in some competitive racer/cruiser sailboats. If the PHRF ratings below are compared to those of recent hull designs, it will be found that the Cal designs are relatively fast boats. This is one of the reasons these ruggedly built and surprisingly affordable
