Klein–Kramers equation

The dynamics can also be described in terms of a probability density function f (r, p, t), which gives the probability, at time t, of finding a particle at position r and with momentum p. By averaging over the stochastic trajectories from the Langevin equations, f (r, p, t) can be shown to obey the Klein–Kramers equation.

Solution in free space

The d-dimensional free-space problem sets the force equal to zero, and considers solutions on [{\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{\mathrm {d} }}] that decay to 0 at infinity, i.e., f (r, p, t) → 0 as |r| → ∞.

For the 1D free-space problem with point-source initial condition, f (x, p, 0) = δ(x - x')δ(p - p'), the solution which is a bivariate Gaussian in x and p was solved by Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar (who also devised a general methodology to solve problems in the presence of a potential) in 1943:

[{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}f(x,p,t)={\frac {1}{2\pi \sigma _{X}\sigma _{P}{\sqrt {1-\beta ^{2}}}}}\exp \left(-{\frac {1}{2(1-\beta ^{2})}}\left[{\frac {(x-\mu _{X})^{2}}{\sigma _{X}^{2}}}+{\frac {(p-\mu _{P})^{2}}{\sigma _{P}^{2}}}-{\frac {2\beta (x-\mu _{X})(p-\mu _{P})}{\sigma _{X}\sigma _{P}}}\right]\right),\end{aligned}}}]

where


Klein–Kramers equation

where

[{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}&\sigma _{X}^{2}={\frac {k_{\mathrm {B} }T}{m\xi ^{2}}}\left[1+2\xi t-\left(2-e^{-\xi t}\right)^{2}\right];\qquad \sigma _{P}^{2}=mk_{\mathrm {B} }T\left(1-e^{-2\xi t}\right)\\&\beta ={\frac {k_{B}T}{\xi \sigma _{X}\sigma _{P}}}\left(1-e^{-\xi t}\right)^{2}\\&\mu _{X}=x'+(m\xi )^{-1}\left(1-e^{-\xi t}\right)p';\qquad \mu _{P}=p'e^{-\xi t}.\end{aligned}}}]

This special solution is also known as the Green's function G(x, x', p, p', t), and can be used to construct the general solution, i.e., the solution for generic initial conditions f (x, p, 0):

[{\displaystyle f(x,p,t)=\int \int G(x,x',p,p',t)f(x',p',0)\,dx'dp'}]

Similarly, the 3D free-space problem with point-source initial condition f (r, p, 0) = δ(r - r') δ(p - p') has solution


Klein–Kramers equation

[{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}f(\mathbf {r} ,\mathbf {p} ,t)={\frac {1}{\left(2\pi \sigma _{X}\sigma _{P}{\sqrt {1-\beta ^{2}}}\right)^{3}}}\exp \left[-{\frac {1}{2(1-\beta ^{2})}}\left({\frac {|\mathbf {r} -{\boldsymbol {\mu }}_{X}|^{2}}{\sigma _{X}^{2}}}+{\frac {|\mathbf {p} -{\boldsymbol {\mu }}_{P}|^{2}}{\sigma _{P}^{2}}}-{\frac {2\beta (\mathbf {r} -{\boldsymbol {\mu }}_{X})\cdot (\mathbf {p} -{\boldsymbol {\mu }}_{P})}{\sigma _{X}\sigma _{P}}}\right)\right]\end{aligned}}}]

with [{\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\mu }}_{X}=\mathbf {r'} +(m\xi )^{-1}(1-e^{-\xi t})\mathbf {p'} }], [{\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\mu }}_{P}=\mathbf {p'} e^{-\xi t}}], and [\sigma _{X}] and [\sigma _{P}] defined as in the 1D solution.

Asymptotic behavior

Under certain conditions, the solution of the free-space Klein–Kramers equation behaves asymptotically like a diffusion process. For example, if


Klein–Kramers equation

[{\displaystyle \int _{-\infty }^{\infty }\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }f(x,p,0)\,dp\,dx<\infty }]

then the density [{\displaystyle \Phi (x,t)\equiv \int _{-\infty }^{\infty }f(x,p,t)\,dp}] satisfies

[{\displaystyle {\frac {\Phi (x,t)-\Phi _{D}(x,t)}{\Phi _{D}(x,t)}}={\mathcal {O}}\left({\frac {1}{t}}\right)\quad {\text{as }}t\rightarrow \infty }]

where [{\displaystyle \Phi _{D}(x,t)=({\sqrt {2\pi t}}\sigma _{X}^{2})^{-1/2}\exp \left[-x^{2}/(2\sigma _{X}^{2}t)\right]}] is the free-space Green's function for the diffusion equation.

Solution near boundaries

The 1D, time-independent, force-free (F = 0) version of the Klein–Kramers equation can be solved on a semi-infinite or bounded domain by separation of variables. The solution typically develops a boundary layer that varies rapidly in space and is non-analytic at the boundary itself.

A well-posed problem prescribes boundary data on only half of the p domain: the positive half (p > 0) at the left boundary and the negative half (p < 0) at the right.0 < x < ∞, boundary conditions may be given as:


Klein–Kramers equation

[{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}&f(0,p)=\left\{{\begin{array}{cc}g(p)&p>0\\{\text{unspecified}}&p<0\end{array}}\right.\\&f(x,p)\rightarrow 0{\text{ as }}x\rightarrow \infty \end{aligned}}}]

for some function g(p).

For a point-source boundary condition, the solution has an exact expression in terms of infinite sum and products:

[{\displaystyle w{\frac {\partial f(z,w)}{\partial z}}={\frac {\partial }{\partial w}}\left[wf(z,w)\right]+{\frac {\partial ^{2}f(z,w)}{\partial w^{2}}}}]

In this representation, length and time are measured in units of [{\displaystyle \ell ={\sqrt {k_{B}T/(m\xi ^{2})}}}] and [{\displaystyle \tau =\xi ^{-1}}], such that [{\displaystyle z\equiv x/\ell }] and [{\displaystyle w\equiv p/(m\ell \xi )}] are both dimensionless. If the boundary condition at z = 0 is g(w) = δ(w - w0), where w0 > 0, then the solution is


Klein–Kramers equation

[{\displaystyle f(x,w)={\frac {w_{0}e^{-w^{2}/2}}{\sqrt {2\pi }}}\left[w_{0}-\zeta \left({\frac {1}{2}}\right)-\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }{\frac {G_{-n}(w_{0})}{2nQ_{n}}}+\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }S_{n}(w_{0})G_{n}(w)e^{-{\sqrt {n}}z}\right]}]

where


Klein–Kramers equation

where

[{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}G_{\pm n}(w)&=(-1)^{n}2^{-n/2}e^{-n}(n!)^{-1/2}e^{\pm {\sqrt {n}}w}H_{n}\left({\frac {w}{\sqrt {2}}}\mp {\sqrt {2n}}\right),\qquad n=1,2,3,\ldots \\S_{n}(w_{0})&={\frac {G_{n}(w_{0})}{2{\sqrt {2}}}}-{\frac {1}{2nQ_{n}}}-\sum _{m=1}^{\infty }{\frac {G_{-m}(w_{0})}{4\left(m{\sqrt {n}}+{\sqrt {m}}n\right)Q_{m}Q_{n}}}\\Q_{n}&=\lim _{N\rightarrow \infty }{\sqrt {n!(N-1)!}}\,\,e^{2{\sqrt {Nn}}}\left[\prod _{r=0}^{N+n-1}\left({\sqrt {r}}+{\sqrt {n}}\right)\right]^{-1}\end{aligned}}}]

This result can be obtained by the Wiener–Hopf method. However, practical use of the expression is limited by slow convergence of the series, particularly for values of w close to 0.

Willem Reuter

Saint John the Baptist preaching

Willem Reuter (c.1642 in Brussels – 1681 in Rome) was a Flemish painter of cityscapes, genre paintings and history paintings who was primarily active in Rome, where he was known as Guglielmo Reuter. He was part of the circle of Dutch and Flemish genre painters in Rome who are referred to as the 'Bamboccianti' and were known for their scenes depicting the lower classes in Rome.

Life

Very little is known about Reuter’s early life in Flanders.Michiel Sweerts. Sweerts had lived in Rome for ten years where he had moved into the circle of Flemish and Dutch genre painters around Pieter van Laer who are commonly referred to as the ‘Bamboccianti’. The Bamboccianti brought existing traditions of depicting peasant subjects from sixteenth-century Netherlandish art with them to Italy and generally created small cabinet paintings or etchings of the everyday life of the lower classes in Rome and its countryside.

Celebration on the Piazza di Spagna

It is not clear when Reuter travelled to Rome where he resided in the "casa dei pittori fiamminghi" near the Piazza del Popolo.

Like his master Sweerts, he linked up with the Bamboccianti genre painters in Rome. He may also have become a member of the Bentvueghels, an association of mainly Dutch and Flemish artists working in Rome.Congregazione dei Virtuosi al Pantheon', with the Dutch Bamboccianti painter Dirck Helmbreker acting as his sponsor. The Congregazione counted among its members many important artists who left their mark in Rome.

Work

Only a small number of paintings have been ascribed to Willem Reuter with any level of certainty. His chronology is difficult to determine as he never dated his work. His paintings usually depict market scenes or processions in Roman piazzas and occasionally historic or religious events set in landscape settings.Celebration on the Piazza di Spagna, which probably depicts the birth of the Spanish infant Don Carlos in the year 1661 (in the collection of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, Vienna in 1992).

Willem Reuter

A Roman market

Willem Reuter’s Roman panoramic market scene dated 1669 referred to as A Roman market (Norton Simon Museum) is an example of his bustling market scenes. The picture is built up of many different scenes and anecdotes such as a commedia dell’arte performance, a beggar receiving alms and an overturned cart carrying fragile crockery. The carefully orchestrated composition of the work makes each event clearly legible. In particular, the vertically-oriented buildings provide a stable backdrop for the loosely arranged groupings of people placed on the piazza's background to foreground. A strong light helps clarify the figures and their interactions.

Townscape with a bishop healing the sick and injured in front of a church

His work, although superficially similar to the Bamboccianti in the use of Roman settings populated with many figures, can be distinguished from the paintings of this group of genre painters, as Reuter did not adopt the typology of the Bamboccianti and represents the cityscape more in the form of a veduta. Unlike other Bamboccianti, Reuter paid more attention to the precise rendering of nature.Caravaggio) the use of chiaroscuro and a preference for the use of red tones.classicist tendencies, with statuesque figures placed in architectural settings or idealized landscapes, and this was probably the reason why one of his works was formerly attributed to Nicolas Poussin.

He influenced Peeter Bolckman.

Two Tenors is an album credited to jazz musicians John Coltrane and Hank Mobley, released in 1969 on Prestige Records, catalogue 7670. It is a reissue of Prestige 7043 Informal Jazz by Elmo Hope, released in 1956. As Coltrane's fame grew during the 1960s long after he had stopped recording for the label, Prestige assembled varied recordings, often those where Coltrane had been merely a sideman, and reissued them as a new album with Coltrane's name prominently displayed. In this case, by 1969 Hope had become a far less marketable figure than Coltrane and Mobley, hence the redesignation of the LP.

Necklace Nebula

The Necklace Nebula (PN G054.2-03.4) is a 19-trillion-kilometre-wide (2.0 light-year-wide)planetary nebula located about 15,000 light-years away in the northern constellation Sagitta. It was discovered in 2005 from the Isaac Newton Telescope Photometric H-alpha Survey (IPHAS), a ground-based H-alpha planetary nebula study of the North Galactic Plane.

The Necklace Nebula is the exploded aftermath of a giant star that came too close to its Sun-like binary companion. The two stars that produced the Necklace Nebula are in a relatively small orbit about each other. They have a period of 1.2 days and a separation on the order of 5 times the radius of the Sun.

About 10,000 years ago one of the aging stars ballooned to the point where it engulfed its companion star. The smaller star continued orbiting inside its larger companion, increasing the giant's rotation rate.

The bloated companion star spun so fast that a large part of its gaseous envelope expanded into space. Due to centrifugal force, most of the gas escaped along the star's equator, producing a ring. The embedded bright knots are dense gas clumps in the ring.

Mansehra Airport

Mansehra Airport is a proposed airport project in the Mansehra district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

Background

In August 2016 the federal government allotted Rs. 5 million to buy land for the Mansehra Airport project and build the airport's essential amenities. However, in response to criticism from the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), the administration formally abandoned the initiative.

The authorities chose to use Muzaffarabad airport instead of Mansehra Airport for flight operations in the North Zone, despite the fact that Mansehra Airport was supposed to improve connection and mobility for the residents of Mansehra and the surrounding areas.

The airport was expected to open in March 2023 after conducting a test flight earlier in the same year.

Roderick P. Wacowich joined the Bar of Alberta in 1975.Solicitor General of Alberta, which at that time was known as the Attorney General of Alberta.

In April 1985, a previously-completed inquiry into the death of James Townshend was re-opened following the introduction of new evidence by Wacowich.Abbottsfield Mall, he was shot and killed by Edmonton police. The Edmonton Police Service claimed that Townshend raised and pointed a shotgun toward them, prompting police retaliation; however, Wacowich obtained a letter written by a police informant which questioned the accuracy of the police narrative.

Throughout the 1980s, Wacowich supported the anti-abortion movement; in 1983, Wacowich signed the Right-To-Life Signature Proclamation, an Alberta anti-abortion petition, and in 1987, the Edmonton Journal reported that Wacowich was challenging anti-abortion doctors in court.

Throughout the 1990s, Wacowich served as the Assistant Deputy Minister for Alberta Court Services.

In 2003, Wacowich became Master in Chambers for Alberta Justice.

Notable trials

In June 1985, Wacowich represented Canadian psychologist Louise Nadeau in McNair v Nadeau et al.

In 2018, he delivered judgement in Woitas v Tremblay and cited Kuipers v Gordon Riley Transport for Samuel Sereth Lieberman's dismissal of the plaintiff's suggestion that "the actions of the other drivers established a 'chain of causation' leading up to the collision involving the plaintiff."

Reflections in Real Time

Reflections in Real Time is the debut studio album by American singer and songwriter, Kilo Kish. It was recorded with musician and producer Ray Brady, and released on February 29, 2016, through the singer's imprint label, Kisha Soundscape + Audio.Reflections in Real Time as a time capsule of her early twenties.

Background

Graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology in 2012, Kish began to pursue a musical career when her roommates set up a home studio.Homeschool (2012), K+ (2013) and Across (2014).

"Sometimes I feel [the internet] is stifling because everything is perceived to be a direct representation of who you are, which is hard because artists and all people change. Ideas and thoughts are fleeting and the permanence of things on the internet and their stamp on you as a person can box you in a bit."

–Kish speaking on her relationship with the internet

With Reflections in Real Time, Kish sought to express how she navigates the issue of sensory overload as an artist in 2016, "where the relationship between art and the public is quite strange and emotional togetherness in a real way is strained." Kish examined her own relationship with the internet, praising its ability to sustain openness in people yet vocalizing issues such as the fear of missing out and the pitfalls of social media engagement statistics.

Moving from New York to Los Angeles was a crucial turning point for Kish, where constant social events left her with a sense of jadedness. She credits Los Angeles for giving her space to ruminate: "I felt like I was being praised for the wrong things, and my work wasn't being respected in the way I wanted it to be. [...] I’d gone my whole life feeling like an individual, but New York really has a way of making you assimilate, of taking individuals and creating scenes out of them." Kish's work became more insular as her new residence lacked the former's tendency for "chance encounters" and quick turnarounds in artistic endeavors.

Writing and development


Reflections in Real Time

Writing and development

Kish was motivated to express her personality through the record, desiring an honesty that would allow her audience to "put themselves in [her] headspace and see what they feel about these subjects." She pierced together topics from journal entries she'd written in her early twenties, highlighting themes of "fear", "obsession" and "self-importance".narcissistic".

Conceptually, Kish has stated that the album achieves a stream of consciousness narrative that balances her darker sense of humor, in the "traumatic structure of a melodrama" that she likens to a soap opera.Beat Magazine, Michael Cragg highlighted "Collected Views From Dinner" in particular for its humor, which was inspired by "any type of party or event".

"Anywhere that's up there with the most pretentious places of all time. It's like, 'What are we all going to talk without actually learning anything about each other?' And, like, flex our prowess all at the same time. And be super insecure about ourselves. And also one up the next person. All those things at the same time. It's a reflection of that. It can be like an elevator pitch at those things sometimes. It takes people hours to be themselves and sometimes only once they're drunk."

The album's second track, "Hello, Lakisha" explores how connotations associated with her given name have affected job searches and the way she is perceived by it: "I don’t wake up thinking of my life through the lens of a woman or a black woman. I wake up like I'm Lakisha Robinson, I'm an individual, and this is how I’m going to go through the day. [...] So, when people have all of these hang-ups and all of these barriers when it comes to such small differences, it literally makes no sense to me."


Reflections in Real Time

"Existential Crisis Hour" was born out of the introspection that moving to Los Angeles afforded her, running through a series of questions pertaining to the meaning of life and one's purpose in it: "I had been reading a lot and I had been spending full days, nights, by myself and then—I wasn't really depressed, I was just like, 'What?'"Donald Glover, who says two words: "I'd say that Donald answering 'yes' and 'no' are the driving force of how things get done, they're the path you take. Especially with those questions, having a definitive answer to them really changes your pathway significantly. [...] For instance, believing that you have a purpose or that you don't puts you in way different states of mind."

Title and artwork

Kish expressed that album's title, Reflections in Real Time, is in relation to constantly updated activity streams, a major component of social media: "if you blink you'll miss something, or everything."expressive black-and-white portrait of Kish; Marjon Carlos of Vogue comparing it to a Cindy Sherman film still. The photograph was shot by her friend, Emmanuel Olunkwa: "I knew I wanted [Reflections] to be like different emotional states throughout the record, so I was thinking I would do a four paneled thing with different dramatic faces, sad, happy, etcetera ... [Emmanuel and I] were just trying different faces when we took that one, and it was just the one."Sade's signature ensemble.

Critical reception

Critical reception

In a positive review, Spin magazine's Anna Gaca called Reflections in Real Time a "revealing, sarcastic, and earnest" meditation on "both the immediacy of a social media-dependent society and her own narrowly focused lens: a snapshot of thoughts and concerns experienced between the ages of 23 and 24".AllMusic's Andy Kellman described it as "a sprawling and deeply personal album that flitted between fully developed songs and fragmentary interludes".Robert Christgau gave the album a two-star honorable mention in his column for Vice, indicating a "likable effort consumers attuned to its overriding aesthetic or individual vision may well enjoy".synth-pop lingo".PopMatters was less enthusiastic about songs such as "Hello, Lakisha" and "Existential Crisis Hour", feeling they detracted from the focus of an album that otherwise aptly portrayed the singer's "post-adolescent, Internet-age anxieties", set to music that joined "the implosive R&B of FKA Twigs to the attention-deficient dance-pop of Shamir".

Necktie Second is the debut album by Pete Droge.

Critical reception

Trouser Press praised the album, writing that "Droge tips a retrospective nod to ’70s boy-rock on Necktie Second, updating the genre with a bit of humor on 'If You Don’t Love Me (I’ll Kill Myself)' and reviving the decade’s songwriting heyday with the slick folk-pop of 'Northern Bound Train.'”

Willem Roelofs

Willem Roelofs
by Jozef Israëls, 1892

Willem Roelofs (10 March 1822 – 12 May 1897) was a Dutch painter, water-colourist, etcher, lithographer and draughtsman. Roelofs was one of the forerunners of the Dutch Revival art, after the Romantic Classicism of the beginning of the 19th century, which led to the formation of The Hague school. His landscapes, especially the early ones with their dominating cloudy skies, demure bodies of water and populated with cattle, are typical for the School of Barbizon.

Biography

Willem Roelofs was born in Amsterdam on 10 March 1822. When he was a young man his family moved to Utrecht, where his father became an enlisted member of the Painters and Draughtsman Society in Utrecht, and received lessons from the artist Abraham Hendrik Winter.The Hague so that the young Willem could study in the Academy for Visual Arts in that city and train in the atelier of Hendrik van de Sande Bakhuyzen.

In 1847, he was involved in the establishment of the artists society “The Hague Pulchri Studio”. In 1847, he left The Hague rather suddenly and went to live in Brussels where he remained until 1887. From 1866 up to 1869, he trained Hendrik Willem Mesdag, who would develop into one of the masters of The Hague school. His other students were Paul Gabriël, Frans Smissaert, Willem de Famars Testas and Alexander Mollinger. In 1850, he was captivated by Barbizon in the Fontainebleau area of France.

He unmistakably provided the spiritual impulse for the painters of nature that would later dominate The Hague school. Beside painting, he also occupied himself with entomology, where he specialised in beetles. He published about them in scientific illustrated magazines and identified them for the museum of natural history in Leiden (the current Naturalis). In 1855, he founded the Belgian association for entomology, of which he became president in 1878. His extensive collection of Curculionidae became the basis of the entomological collection of beetles in the Natuurhistorisch Museum in Brussels. On his advice, Vincent van Gogh matriculated in autumn 1880 in Brussels.

Roelofs died in Berchem.

Reflections (Sufi literature)

Reflections by Idries Shah is a collection of eighty fables, aphorisms, and statements that seek to challenge the conditioned mind. The book intends to confront the reader with unaccustomed perspectives and ideas, in an attempt to set the mind free, to see how things really are.

Content

Reflections is a collection of a foreword and eighty brief literary pieces which were designed for reflection. Many are as brief as this example:

History is not usually what has happened. History is what some people have thought to be significant.

Reception

This small, pocket-sized book was well received by critics. In her review in The Observer, author Doris Lessing called Reflections "... a lively collection of fables, comments, aphorisms, its quality astringency."New York Times Book Review called it "... witty, tart and instructional - they tend to come into your mind at appropriate moments."Reflections was "Very funny ... more wisdom than I have found in any other book this year. I found myself sitting up straight."

Reassemblage (film)

Reassemblage is a 1982 film by Trinh T. Minh-ha, shot in Senegal picturing the dwellings and everyday life of the Sereer people.Reassemblage focuses especially on the lives of the village women.National Geographic

Content

Reassemblage does not follow a conventional plot, but rather presents sounds and visuals through non-linear montage. The film consists of a various shots capturing different landscapes, activities, animals, conversations, and people. The accompanying sounds include indigenous music, diegetic sounds and conversations, and a voiceover from Minh-ha. The voiceover does not provide narration or explanation of the scenes, but rather critical reflections on the filmmaking process and ethnographic documentary.

Themes

  * Womanhood and fire: The concept of 'women possessing the fire' is repeated throughout the film. This reflects Senegalese culture where the women are generally in charge of the household chores, most importantly being fire. Shots of burning bushland are also recurring throughout the film, accompanied by a distinct focus on the village women as subject.
  * Reflexivity: Minh-ha's voiceover is reflexive towards both ethnographic film and film processes, and the filmmaker's own position. In her scholarly work, Minh-ha claims that there is "no such thing as documentary."
  * Post-colonialism: The film's attitude towards filmmaking, colonised culture, and representation can be considered to relate to post-colonial perspectives. The critical approach to portraying culture through film subverts the colonial power of capturing and displaying culture in favour of complexity, ambiguity, and non-resolution. The film compliments Minh-ha's academic contributions to post-colonial discourse and theory.

Maestri Field at Privateer Park

Maestri Field at Privateer Park is a baseball stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana more commonly known as Maestri Field. It is the home field of the University of New Orleans (UNO) Privateers baseball team.

The facility is located on UNO's east campus, about one mile (1.6 km) from the main campus and near the intersection of Press Drive and Leon C. Simon Blvd. Along with the baseball diamond, the east campus is the site of Kiefer UNO Lakefront Arena and the University Tennis Center.

History

The ballpark opened in 1979 and is named after Ron Maestri, who coached the team from 1972–1984 and from 2014-2015, and athletic director, where he served for 21 years ending his term in 2000. The stadium was also the home of the New Orleans Zephyrs minor-league baseball team (1993–1996) prior to Zephyr Field opening in 1997.AAU Junior Olympics baseball competition.

Stadium Features

The facility has all-aluminum seating and a brick and wrought-iron facade which dramatically changed the park's appearance. Maestri Field had a complete surface facelift prior to the 2006 season. The facelift included a complete reworking of the entire playing surface. Included in the renovation were new irrigation and drainage systems. Also, the entire sand-based Bermuda grass surface was skinned, laser graded and resodded. Improvements also included a 10’ halo around the home plate area and a surrounding warning track enclosing the entire grass surface.

The park has a newly remodeled press box and a new lower fence and batter’s eye. Included in the remodeled press box are media facilities that feature a game management area, two radio booths and a section for media and booster seating. The symmetrical field measures 330 feet (100 m) down the lines, 370 feet (110 m) in the power alleys and 405 feet (123 m) to center field.

Stadium improvements

In 2003, the Dominic & Mary Musso hitting facility was completed, giving the Privateers the flexibility to hit as well as pitchers the opportunity to throw during bad weather days. Complete with the best video equipment, the Musso Hitting Facility is located down the left field line just past the seating area.


Maestri Field at Privateer Park

Prior to the 2005 season, UNO Chancellor Tim Ryan along with athletic director Jim Miller revealed a state-of-the-art clubhouse. The clubhouse, located behind the 3rd base stands includes a 60’ wide screen television in the lounge and individual wooden lockers in the rear locker area.

On May 10, 2013, UNO broke ground on renovations to Maestri Field. The renovations include a new grandstand with 800 chairback seats. In addition, the renovation project will also feature a new press box and a private suite. The project is estimated at $3 million and will be complete by the 2014 baseball season home opener against LSU on February 15.

Awards and Highlights

Meanwhile, the playing surface remains one of the best in America. In January 1991, the field and the UNO baseball staff were honored by the American Baseball Coaches Association with the Groundskeeper of the Year Award for the nation's best field. The field passed one of its biggest tests in 1993 when the New Orleans Zephyrs - then the Class AAA affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers - played 64 home dates in their debut season successfully.

UNO has finished among the top 15 in NCAA home attendance eight times, including 10th in 1990 and 15th in 1996. The UNO attendance mark was set in 1987 when 85,884 (including postseason games) passed through its gates.

The park has played host to other events, including an exhibition series featuring the Italian National Team in the summer of 1990. UNO played host to and won the American South Conference Toumament in 1989. UNO and Maestri Field have also been host for the 1982 NCAA South Regional, the 1987 South II Regional, the 1984 American Legion World Series and a 1987 American Legion regional tourney.

Monrad was born in Vestre Aker, the son of Hans Sundt Monrad and Astrid Haslum.Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry under Karl Høgberg and at the Norwegian National Academy of Fine Arts under Jean Heiberg. During the Second World War he studied in Bjarne Engebret's painting school. He began his artistic path relatively late, and he consistently displayed subdued naturalistic expression.Autumn Exhibition eight times from 1947 to 1972, twice in the Southern Norway Exhibition (Sørlandsutstillingen, in 1972 and 1978), and once in the Eastern Norway Exhibition (Østlandsutstillingen, in 1979). He also participated in the Young Artists Society's anniversary exhibition (1975).

Together with artists such as Ferdinand Finne, Ellen Iden, Ivar Jerven, Kjerstin Øvrelid, Liv Nergaard, Finn Strømsted, Bodil Cappelen, and Finn Henrik Bodvin, an artistic environment was created that drew inspiration from nature and the skerries.Tromøy, and Ytre Møkkalasset Lighthouse.

Monrad was married twice, to Eva Eriksen and Live Hiorth. He died in Bærum.


Manuel Cortés Quero

Manuel Cortés Quero (1906-1991), known as "The Mole of Mijas", was a Spanish politician and the last Republican mayor of Mijas (Málaga) between 3 March and 23 November 1936.

Biography

With the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, he fled the municipality, to which he returned incognito on the night of 17 November 1939, beginning a long confinement in his own home that would last 30 years.

When on 28 March 1969 he heard on his radio the news that the Government had decreed the statute of limitations for crimes committed until 1 April 1939, he decided to leave his confinement. The then mayor of Mijas, Miguel González Berral, accompanied him to the Civil Guard Headquarters in Málaga, where the lieutenant colonel in command said: "You are free".

He was a founder of the local PSOE and presided over it until his death in 1991.

Tributes

His life was reflected in the works of Manu Leguineche and Jesús Torbado ("Los topos", 1977) and Ronald Fraser ("Escondido", "In hiding: the life of Manuel Cortés", 1972).

In the Mijas House Museum a recreation of what was his house and hideout for 30 years can be visited.

In 2012, the animated documentary, 30 years of darkness by Manuel H. Martín, was released, telling the story of the "moles", among them Manuel Cortés.

In 2015, the PSOE of Mijas inaugurated a headquarters in his honor, 'La Casa del Pueblo de Mijas Pueblo: Manuel Cortes, the mole of Mijas', which is located in the central street Carril of the village environment. The inauguration, held on 7 March, was attended by hundreds of neighbors to remember his figure together with his granddaughter, María Peña.

His life served as inspiration for the directors of the 2019 film The Endless Trench.

Yvonne Aitken

Yvonne Aitken AM (17 October 1911 – 29 November 2004)agricultural scientist whose contributions to the field included studies of plant flowering as it depends on climate, season, and genetic factors. She was appointed as a Member of the Order of Australia in 1989.

Aitken's primary goal was to produce a greater range of consumable crops.latitudes, and under laboratory conditions, Aitken deduced fundamental factors that governed the transition of plants from the vegetative to reproductive states. In general, those plants flowering earliest under given conditions had the least dependence on climate whereas later-flowering varieties reacted strongly to the climate setup.

Background and personal life

Aitken was born on 17 October 1911 in Horsham, Victoria to David Aitken and Arabella Miller.School of Mines in Ballarat.

Despite the immense amount of time Aitken spent dedicated to her research, she enjoyed weaving and painting watercolors of the places that she visited for work over the years. She never married or had children.

Education and career

Aitken spent many years at the University of Melbourne, as a student, a lecturer, and a researcher.

In 1930 Aitken entered into residence at Janet Clarke Hall, the women's hostel of Trinity College, University of Melbourne

When Aitken first began her studies at the University of Melbourne, she met the head of Faculty of Agriculture, Professor Wadham. While she was recovering from her illness, Wadham suggested that she study the native grasses in the rural area surrounding St. Arnaud.subterranean clover.

She worked with Jim Harrison, another Melbourne graduate, who had been working on collecting samples of subterranean clover and studying its natural variation in growing season for seven years prior. Through two sets of extensive experiments, including a four-year time-of-sowing experiment, they were able to conclude that flowering time was controlled by response to hours of daylight and temperature change. This got Aitken primarily interested in her life's work.


Yvonne Aitken

She received her Master of Agricultural Science (MAgSc) degree from the University of Melbourne in 1939, with the side-project she submitted, stemming from her time at Burnley Gardens on seed hardness of subterranean clover. Around the same time, in 1938, Aitken began a research project that aimed to halt and reverse wheat crop decline by introducing crop legumes, like field pea, to return nitrogen to the soil.

Aitken took some time off from her education to work as a lecturer at the University of Melbourne (1945-1957). Aitken was promoted to the position of Senior Lecturer in 1957. She held this position until 1974 when she stepped down to pursue research and other career options.

In 1970, Aitken received her Doctor of Agricultural Science (DAgSc) degree from the University of Melbourne, as result of her extensive work on flowering behavior over the course of 30 years. She collected data on the effect of temperature and photoperiod using varieties of nine different field crops, including pea, sown in Australia and in a multitude of diverse climates worldwide, including Central Asia, Patagonia, Peru, Alaska, California, Oregon, Hawaii, and Mexico.

After retiring, Aitken continued to work in the plant sciences for 19 years, aiming to breed new varieties of maize for different climate ranges.

Publications

Aitken is responsible for several publications in regards to agriculture; she wrote forty research papers and multiple peer reviews during her lifetime.Agricultural Science - An Introduction for Australian Students and Farmers which was published in 1962.

The Shannons Nationals Motor Racing Championships is a series of motor racing events held across five states of Australia. It was first held as the CAMS National Racing Championships in 2006

The series brings a number of Australian racing categories together under one banner, allowing costs to be spread across a broad base. The four core categories represented are Australian Formula 3 (contesting the Australian Drivers' Championship), Saloon Cars (contesting the Australian Saloon Car Series), Australian Manufacturers' Championship (incorporating the Australian Production Car Championship) and Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Australia. Other series supported are the Kerrick Sports Sedan Series, Kumho Tyres V8 Touring Car Series, Australian Superkart Championship, Formula Vee Series and Aussie Racing Cars.

The environment of the series has given some categories the opportunity to grow where opportunities might have been more limiting in higher profile events, while the pooling of resources across a number of categories has resulted in lower management costs and improved access to television recording facilities. Categories that contribute to the cost of the television coverage are screened, usually the following weekend, as part of the SBS Speedweek programme, which is broadcast initially on SBS and then repeated on Fox Sports. The Championships have also allowed several higher profile races to be established or re-established, including the Bathurst 12 Hour, the Tasmanian Super Prix, the Australian Tourist Trophy, the Clem Smith Trophy and the Pacific Superkart Challenge.

Series Champions

Roger Lago (Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Type 997), winner of the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge in 2010 and 2011

Englishman Ben Barker (Dallara F307), winner of the 2010 Australian Drivers' Championship.
