References in popular culture

The ballad has inspired a very large number of reworkings in popular culture.

Most famously, a translation of a Danish variant (DFG 47B, from Peter Syv's 1695 edition) into German by Johann Gottfried Herder as "Erlkönigs tochter" inspired Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's poem "Der Erlkönig", which developed the concept of the Erlking.

The ballad was one of the inspirations for the 1828 play Elves' Hill by Johan Ludvig Heiberg.

Other works inspired by "Elveskud" include Henrik Ibsen's 1856 play Olaf Liljekrans; Kristín Marja Baldursdóttir's 1995 novel Mávahlátur;Böðvar Guðmundsson's 2012 novel Töfrahöllin;Steeleye Span's folk-rock song Dance with Me.

Priest Island

Priest Island (Scottish Gaelic: Eilean a' Chlèirich) is a small, uninhabited island in the Summer Isles off the west coast of Scotland.

History

According to the Gazetteer for Scotland the island was an "early Christian retreat" and that it has several stone circles. ... beside the burn" that had been dug up and placed there by the naturalist John Harvie Brown.

Harvie Brown visited the island on July 4, 1884, and "saw the remains of old crofts, and a curious and perfect circle of stones, lying flat on their sides with the smaller ends towards a common centre, and sunk flush with the surface of the short green sward". Harvie Brown noted the "highly polished surface of these nine stones when I first saw them in situ .... as if done by human hands (or feet)". On his second visit he found the stones gone, and on his fourth visit, in 1903, he searched for the stones in the surrounding area, collected nine he was fairly sure were the originals, and placed them in a new location but in the original plan. His drawing of the time shows a feature of circa 4 m in diameter. He also noted that there were "at least two, if not more, similar stone circles ... which were not far removed in distance from this principal circle, but these were of smaller dimensions and not formed with so perfectly flat stones".

Frank Fraser Darling, who lived on the island for a while,

Jim Miller and John Bellord, two men on the run from the law, aided and abetted by Geoff Green, hid on Priest Island for nearly a year, from September 1975 until the summer of 1976.

The 1794 Statistical Account states that "there is a large 'cove' on the south side of Priest Island, said to have been the alternative home of a 'Popish priest'."RCAHMS) this "cove" is probably one of the caves on the island, possibly at NB927016 which "has been divided by a drystone wall from floor to roof with an opening for communication between the two compartments". They note that Fraser Darling found a midden there, although all trace of it has now gone. They make no reference to stone circles.

Geography

Priest Island is the outermost and most exposed of the Summer Isles, lying about 6 km off the west coast of Wester Ross.

Wildlife

Priest Island beneath Ben Mor Coigach.

Eilean a' Chleirich is owned and managed as a nature reserve by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. It is a SSSI and a Special Protection Area. Non-avian fauna includes pygmy shrews, otters and grey seals.

Priest Island supports heath communities and a small amount of woodland. Enrichment from salt spray and bird guano enables more species-rich maritime heath and cliff communities to exist around the coast. The island has one of the largest storm petrel (Hydrobates pelagicus) colonies in the UK, together with other breeding seabirds.

In the summer of 1960, a group from an English school studied some of the bird life of the island.South Croydon spent two weeks on the island with official permission to study and ring some of the birds, such as storm petrels at night time (netting and ringing) and shags on the cliffs in daytime. They took a month's supplies with them, including food, tents and equipment totalling quarter of a ton on a trek cart pulled over from Garve Station.

Isla Negra is a coastal area in El Quisco commune in central Chile, some 45 km (70 km by road) south of Valparaiso and 96 km (110 km by road) west of Santiago.

Pablo Neruda

Isla Negra is best known as the residence of Chilean poet Pablo Neruda,Casa de Isla Negra (with long periods of travel and exile) from 1939 until his death in 1973. The area was named by Neruda, after the dark outcrop of rocks just offshore. It literally means "black island" in Spanish. The Casa de Isla Negra is now a museum.

Every year on Neruda's birthday (12 July), there are celebrations, both at the house and in the artisans' square nearby. There are poetry readings, music and picnics on the beach.

Community

Although most tourists come in buses to see Neruda's house, there is also a community of writers, artists and artisans who live in Isla Negra and the surrounding area. It is a favourite holiday spot for middle-class families from Santiago.

Frank Halleday

Frank Andrew Halleday (8 October 1899 – 5 April 1988) was an Australian politician. He was a member of the South Australian Legislative Council from 1938 to 1943.

History

Frank was the son of C. A. Halleday (1859 – 8 November 1924), a nurseryman of Aldgate, South Australia, a successful exhibitor at the Royal Adelaide Show as well as the shows of the various Adelaide Hills Agricultural and Horticultural Societies. He was Chairman of the Mount Lofty Horticultural Society, and a vice-president and life member of the Mount Barker Agricultural and Horticultural Society. He was also one of the founders of the Stirling East Church of Christ, and a trustee of the local cemetery. Halleday's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Halleday, were among the earliest settlers of the Mount Lofty district.

Halleday was brought up in Aldgate and left home at the age of 13, working first on a dairy farm, then with the Coast Steamship Company, then the Adelaide Steamship Company at Port Adelaide. He joined the South Australian Railways, working as an attendant at various railway stations, including Mount Lofty, in the Crafers District. He studied accountancy and other commercial subjects at night school. At age 19 he returned to take over his father's business, with some success, but his interests lay more with farm animals, and he sold up the business to take up dairying and pig breeding. He helped set up a bacon curing factory.

He entered politics in 1938 as an Independent in the interests of the small farmer for the Southern division of the Legislative Council. He and fellow Independent Alec Bagot campaigned by the then novel method of touring the electorate with a caravan and sound system.Federal seat of Barker. There was no by-election, being so close to the end of his term. His candidature failed,Onkaparinga), 1952 (Stirling) and 1953 (his old Legislative Council seat) failed.

Family

Halleday married Minnie Clark, daughter of Stanley (1853–1941) and Agnes W. F. Clark of Aldgate. Their children were eldest daughter Betty Joan (died 1952), Donald, Elva, Ray, and Connie.


Frank Halleday

Halleday had three brothers and four sisters: Herbert Arthur Halleday of Whyte Yarcowie, Rev. Norman Charles Halleday of Western Australia, and Edward A. Halleday (West Coast); Mrs. H. Payne of Riverton, Mrs. G. H. Matthews of Aldgate, Mrs. G. L. Hampton of Meadows, and Minnie E. Parrington.


Luis Weihmuller

Luis Weihmüller (5 August 1902 – 1963) was an Argentine footballer. He was part of Argentina's squad for the 1928 Summer Olympics, but he did not play in any matches.

Early life

Weihmüller was born and lived his first years in San Carlos Centro, Argentina. He was born in 1902 (according to his family on the 5 August). He was the son of Swiss immigrants. As a child everyone called him "Sity".

The 1928 Olympics

Prior to the 1928 Olympics, Luis F. Weihmüller was summoned to join the Argentinian squad that had a number of players who would star two years later in the 1930 World Cup played in Uruguay. The strange thing was that, in those years, managers were not allowed in the rules to replace a player with another. Anyway, as a member of that squad, Weihmüller won a silver medal. In the Argentine squad, there were five other players from Sportivo Palermo, which was Weihmüller's current team: Fernando Paternoster, Adolfo Zumelzu, Ludovico Bidoglio, Herman, and Juan Evaristo.

Electromagnetically induced grating

Electromagnetically induced grating (EIG) is an optical interference phenomenon where an interference pattern is used to build a dynamic spatial diffraction grating in matter. EIGs are dynamically created by light interference on optically resonant materials and rely on population inversion and/or optical coherence properties of the material. They were first demonstrated with population gratings on atoms.photolithography gratings.

Writing, reading and phase-matching conditions for EIG diffraction

Figure 1: Writing and reading an EIG

Figure 1 shows a possible beam configuration to write and read an EIG. The period of the grating is controlled by the angle [\theta ]. The writing and reading frequencies are not necessarily the same. EB is referred as the "backward" reading beam and ER is the signal obtained by diffraction on the grating.

The phase-matching conditions for the EIG for the plane-wave approximation is given by the simple geometric relation:

[{\displaystyle \sin \beta =n{\Bigl (}{\frac {\omega _{1}}{\omega _{2}}}{\Bigr )}\sin(\theta /2)}],

where the angles are given according to Fig. 2, [\omega _{1}] and [\omega _{2}] are the frequencies of the writing (W, W') and reading beam (R), respectively, and n is the effective index of refraction of the medium.

Figure 2: Phase matching conditions for EIG diffraction

Types of EIG

Figure 3: Difference between a "matter grating" and a "population grating". The smileys :-( and :-) represent ground and optically excited atoms, respectively.

Matter Gratings

The writing lasers form a grating by modulating density of matter or by localizing matter (trapping) on the regions of maxima (or minima) of the writing interference fields. A thermal grating is an example. Matter gratings have slow dynamics (milliseconds) compared to population and phase gratings (potentially nanoseconds and faster).

Population Gratings


Electromagnetically induced grating

Population Gratings

The writing lasers are resonant with optical transitions in the matter and the grating is formed by optical pumping (See Fig. 3). This type of grating can be easily tuned to produce multiple orders of diffraction.

Coherence Gratings

A grating where the writing lasers form a coherent matter pattern. An example is a pattern of electromagnetically induced transparency.

Applications

Usually two lasers at an angle are used to build an EIG. The EIG is used to diffract a third laser, to monitor the behavior of the underlying substrate where the EIG was written or to serve as a switch for one of the lasers involved in the process.

Hyde's Hotel

Hyde's Hotel, also known as Hyde Manor, was a major summer resort hotel on Vermont Route 30 in Sudbury, Vermont. The remnants of the hotel, its main house built in 1865, are now deteriorating and partially collapsed. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Description and history

Hyde Manor stands on the east side of Vermont Route 30, about 1 mile (1.6 km) south of Sudbury's village center. Now screened from the road by trees, the hotel's location once offered views across the valley to the west. It stands on 100 acres (40 ha) of land, and includes a deteriorating complex of mainly 19th-century buildings. The main house is a large four-story wood frame structure with Italianate styling. Its most prominent feature is a square tower, projecting from the front facade, five stories in height, with a bracketed hip roof.

The property's early history began in the early 19th century, as a tavern and stagecoach stop along the road, a major north-south route stage route between Albany, New York and Montreal. Pitt Hyde purchased an existing tavern in about 1801, and expanded the premises, which included a mineral spring reputed to have restorative properties. When the main house burned in 1861, James K. Hyde, Pitt's son, built the present surviving main house. The complex continued to grow under Aruna Hyde, who added amenities, including a bowling alley, dance hall, and, in 1909, a nine-hole golf course designed by Horace Rawlins and George Sargent. The property declined due to changes in recreational habits after the world wars of the 20th century, and was sold out of the Hyde family in 1962. It closed permanently in 1973, although water from its spring continued to be bottled and sold.

Priest Mine

Priest Mine is an abandoned surface and underground mine in Northeastern Ontario, Canada. It is located about 19 km (12 mi) northwest of the hamlet of Marten River on an island in north-central Cross Lake. Dating back to the early 1900s, it is one of the oldest mines in the municipality of Temagami.

History

The mine was discovered in 1907 when attention was focused there by the discovery of a quartz vein in rocks that closely resembled those in the town of Cobalt further north, which was undergoing a silver rush at the time. Development consisted of small open pits and sinking of a 23 m (75 ft) inclined shaft along the quartz vein. At least five small drifts were created off the shaft at the 9 m (30 ft), 15 m (49 ft) and 23 m (75 ft) levels. Small shipments of sulfide ore, containing copper and lead with some gold and silver values, were made to a smelter.

In 1955, Cross Lake Mining Company Limited dewatered the shaft for examination and four diamond drill holes were created from the surface. It was evident that good mineralization had been encountered in the shaft, judging from the lumps of high-grade ore found lying in the muck, consisting of copper and galena, and some was observed on the waste rock dump. Heavy mineralization of pyrite, chalcopyrite and galena was noted at two points at the bottom of the shaft.

Frank Halford

Major Frank Bernard Halford CBE FRAeS (7 March 1894 – 16 April 1955) was an English aircraft engine designer. He is best known for the series of de Havilland Gipsy engines, widely used by light aircraft in the 1920s and 30s.

Career

Educated at Felsted, In 1913 he left the University of Nottingham before graduating in order to learn to fly at the Bristol Flying School at Brooklands, later becoming a flight instructor for Bristol. In 1914 he joined the Aeronautical Inspection Department of the War Office

On the outbreak of the First World War he joined the Royal Flying Corps where he fought at the front. Recalled to engineering duties he improved and enlarged the water-cooled six-cylinder Austro-Daimler, producing the 230 hp (170 kW) Beardmore Halford Pullinger (BHP). This engine was further developed by Siddeley-Deasy as the Puma.

In 1922 he raced a 4-valve Triumph Ricardo in the Senior TT, finishing 13th. That same year he was commissioned to produce a luxury motorcycle for Vauxhall. Based on aero-engine principles, it featured an in-line unit construction four cylinder engine, with shaft drive to the rear wheel. Four examples were made, one exists in a private collection in the Isle of Man.

Working for Airdisco, he redesigned the Puma engine as the Nimbus and also developed a V-8 engine based on the company's large stores of surplus Renault engine parts. There in 1924 he designed the first of the long-running Cirrus series at the request of de Havilland.

In 1923 he set up his own consultancy in London,Harry Ricardo. From 1926 he designed the de Havilland Gipsy air-cooled inline engines, repeating the success of the Cirrus.

During this period Frank Halford also designed and had built the AM Halford Special racing car which he raced at Brooklands in the 1926 RAC British Grand Prix, as well as in many other races from 1925 to 1926.


Frank Halford

During the 1930s Halford and Harry Ricardo became interested in the sleeve valve as a method of increasing the allowable operating RPM and compression ratio of piston engines, thereby increasing the power from an otherwise smaller engine. From 1928 Halford worked with D. Napier & Son, eventually producing the Sabre, which became one of the most powerful piston aero engines built, producing 3,500 hp (2.6 MW) from only 2200 cubic inches (36 L) in late-war versions.

During the war he became interested in jet engines, and designed a simplified version of Frank Whittle's centrifugal-flow designs with the air intake on the front and "straight-through" combustion chambers. Known initially as the Halford H.1, the project was undertaken for de Havilland who produced it as the de Havilland Goblin. Halford's company was eventually purchased outright by de Havilland in 1944. Halford continued working on jets, turboprop and rocket engines.

Freedom Party in Carinthia

The Freedom Party in CarinthiaGerman: Die Freiheitlichen in Kärnten, FPK, alternative English translations: Carinthian Freedom Party,Freedom Party of Carinthia,The Freedomites in Carinthia,Carinthia Freedom Partypolitical party in Austria, operating in the federal state of Carinthia.

The FPK was founded as branch of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) by Jörg Haider in 1986. It emerged as an independent party in December 2009 from the Carinthian branch of the Alliance for the Future of Austria (BZÖ), also founded by Jörg Haider in 2005 following a split in the FPÖ. Before that In the 2009 Carinthian state election the BZÖ won 44.9% of the vote, while what remained of the FPÖ got just 3.8%.Gerhard Dörfler, Haider's successor, was returned as state governor.

History

Background

The party's origins lie with the Carinthia branch of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ). Jörg Haider, chairman of that branch since 1983, was elected federal FPÖ chairman in 1986. Under a previously introduced restructuring plan, Haider transformed the Carinthian branch into The Freedom Party in Carinthia under the federal umbrella of the FPÖ. Haider made his home state of Carinthia a stronghold of the party and twice served as state governor (1989–1991 and 1999–2008).

In 2000, he also led the party into participation in the federal government of Chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel, but due to the controversies surrounding his persona, had to remove himself from federal politics, concentrating on state politics. Haider had already resigned as chairman of the state party in autumn 1998. However, even as a "common party member" he remained the most prominent figure in the party, causing the resignation of the then-party leadership in 2002.

Foundation and early years

After a series of electoral defeats, Haider in 2005 suggested re-inventing, rejuvenating the FPÖ and when this proved to be controversial, moved to found a new party, the Alliance for the Future of Austria (BZÖ). All the FPÖ government ministers and most of its deputies in the federal parliament joined the new party, continuing the coalition until the 2006 federal election.


Freedom Party in Carinthia

The statute of the new party gave its Carinthian branch (running under the name The Freedomites in Carinthia — BZÖ List Jörg Haider) considerable autonomy. The party was characterised by the discrepancy between Carinthia and the other states of Austria: while the Carinthian branch of the FPÖ almost entirely sided with Haider and joined the BZÖ, the other branches stayed with the old FPÖ (though Tyrol and Vorarlberg played with the idea of switching to BZÖ). In Carinthia, the Freedomites-BZÖ under Haider could simply supplant the FPÖ as the strongest party in the state (winning subsequent election), but the BZÖ failed to overtake the FPÖ both in other state elections as well as in the 2006 federal election.

Jörg Haider, as chairman of the strongest branch within the BZÖ and as governor of Carinthia, remained the chief politician, even after giving up the federal chair in June 2006. He returned to that position in August 2008 but died in a car accident in October.

Haider's succession and split

Haider's death vacated three positions: Gerhard Dörfler immediately succeeded as governor of Carinthia, Uwe Scheuch as chairman of the state party in November 2008, and Josef Bucher as federal BZÖ chairman in April 2009.

In the 2009 state election, held in March 2009, the party won 44.9% of the vote and Dörfler was confirmed as governor.

In December 2009, the Carinthian branch of the BZÖ, led by Scheuch and Dörfler broke off from the national party organisation, citing Bucher's economic liberalism. In a press conference together with FPÖ chairman Heinz-Christian Strache, Scheuch announced that his party would henceforth put their support behind the FPÖ rather than the BZÖ. Scheuch emphasised that the Freedom Party of Carinthia (FPK) would remain a distinct party, citing the relationship of the German CDU and the Bavarian CSU as an example.

The BZÖ leadership disputed the legality of the split and, at the FPK party convention on 16 January 2010, tried to force a referendum on the party's future alignment.

2013 state election and dissolution

2013 state election and dissolution

In the 2013 state election, held in March 2013, the party saw its share of votes more than halved at 16.9%, the largest loss of votes in post-World War II Austria, while the BZÖ got 6.4%.Gerhard Dörfler was thus replaced as governor by Peter Kaiser, local leader of the Social Democratic Party of Austria.

In June 2013 97.3% of party members decided to merge the FPK into the FPÖ, thus becoming its state section in Carinthia.

Gay Alliance Toward Equality

The Gay Alliance Toward Equality, or GATE, was one of the first Canadian gay liberation groups.

Formed in spring 1971 in Vancouver, British Columbia by Maurice Flood, GATE was the first Canadian gay group to explicitly discuss and plan civil rights strategies for achieving gay and lesbian equality under Canadian law. Autonomous groups with the same name were subsequently set up in other cities in Canada, including Edmonton and Toronto;

One of the first high-profile cases launched for gay rights in Canada was launched by the Vancouver chapter of GATE in response to the Vancouver Sun's refusal to allow for a paid advertisement for the GATE newspaper, Gay Tide.Supreme Court of Canada, although the judges ruled 6-3 in favour of the Vancouver Sun.

Other prominent activities taken on by the group included picketing various human rights commissions over the lack of human rights protection for sexual orientation under Canadian law,wrongful dismissal suit of John Damien when the Ontario Racing Commission fired him as a racing steward because of his sexuality.

The Toronto group led a successful campaign in 1973 to lobby Toronto City Council to adopt a policy forbidding discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in municipal hiring, making the city the first jurisdiction in Canada to do so.

In its later years, GATE also undertook some activities as a political party. One activist, Robert Douglas Cook, ran as a GATE candidate in British Columbia's 1979 provincial election, in the electoral district of West Vancouver-Howe Sound.

The group dissolved in 1980.

However, it does not correspond, despite its striking cone shape the Ashes volcanoes on the type of Etna or Vesuvius. Before about 17 million years ago there came here to massive gas and dust explosions when percolating water met in the columns of the Jura on a magma bubble that had formed in the depths. The up broken rocks fell back into the crater and solidified over time to basaltic. Here no molten lava came to the surface. She remained rather stuck in the volcanic vent and froze there to Basalt. In the following year, millions the Jurassic layers were eroded more and more. The Basalttuffpfropf was more resistant than the surrounding limestone and remained as the northern slope of the Swabian Alb mountain upstream cone stand and testified that this formerly extended further to the north.

Kryezezi

The Kryezezi are a historical Albanian tribe (fis) and tribal region in the districts of Lezha and Mirdita of northern Albania. It is one of the four traditional bajraks of the Highlands of Lezha (Malësia e Lezhës), alongside the Bulgëri, Vela and Manatia.

Geography

Kryezezi tribal territory is located on the northern side of the Fan river, particularly where the Greater and Lesser Fan rivers unite down to about Rubik. It is bordered by the Manatia tribal region to the west, the Vela tribal region to the north, the Dibrri tribal region of Mirdita to the east and the Bulgëri tribal territory to the south. Their main settlements include Rubik, Munaz, Vau i Shkjezës, and the now abandoned Kryezez.

Etymology

The term Kryezezi translates to 'black head'.

History

The Kryezezi are the first, primary Bajrak of the Lezha Highlands, and were also known as Kryezezi Krypaxhi (meaning Kryezezi Salters) probably because of their proximity to the sea and therefore their role as salt suppliers to the other Bajraks of Mirdita and the Lezha Highlands. They joined the Mirdita tribe in 1818 along with the rest of the tribes of the Highlands of Lezha. The tribal toponym first appears shortly after 1640 as Crosesi and appears in 1866 as Criesesi, where it was estimated to have 60 households at this time. In 1905, Karl Steinmetz estimated the Kryezezi to have 120 households, and described them as a destitute yet peace-loving tribe. They did not plunder the lowlands like their neighbours, and no murders had been committed on Kryezezi territory for years. Edith Durham, who visited Kryezezi territory in the summer of 1908, was refused hospitality by a foreign, non-Albanian Franciscan friar at the church of Rubik, much to the dismay of the local Albanians of the Kryezezi tribe who were outraged by the act. In 1918, the Kryezezi had 138 households with 879 inhabitants.

Religion


Kryezezi

Religion

The Kryezezi are a Catholic tribe, just like all tribes in Mirdita and the Lezha Highlands. There was a monastery in Rubik that sat upon a cliff overlooking the Fan river that had been founded by the Benedictines. The Church of the Holy Savour, which was the only remaining part of the monastery, was taken over by Franciscans and restored in 1782 and 1837.


Hyde-St. John House

The Hyde-St. John House is a historic house at 25 Charter Oak Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1858, it is one of the city's least-altered examples of Italianate architecture, and it was home to prominent local attorney and city mayor William Waldo Hyde. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977,

Description and history

The Hyde-St. John House is located in Hartford's Sheldon-Charter Oak neighborhood, on the south side of Charter Oak Avenue, between the former Temple Beth Israel (now the Charter Oak Cultural Center), and the location of the historic Charter Oak tree. It is a three-story brick structure, basically square in shape, with a flat roof that has a prominent projecting eave supported by brackets placed on either side of the three window bays. Windows on the first two floors are set in rectangular openings with brownstone sills and lintels, while the shorter third-floor windows have rounded tops. A single-story porch extends across the front, with rounded projections in the side bays, and clustered columns mounted on moulded blocks for support. The main entrance is flanked by pilasters and sidelight windows, and toppedy by a decorative rounded fanlight; there are carved wooden oak leaves in the spandrels above the fanlight. The interior features relatively unaltered original woodwork and plaster. A period two-story ell extends to the rear of the main block.

The house was built in 1858. It was home to William Waldo Hyde from 1881 to 1896. Hyde was from a prominent local family, and was a principal in one of the city's oldest law firms. From 1892 to 1894 he served as Mayor of Hartford. The Waldo and Hyde families also owned other adjacent properties during this time, essentially creating a small family compound.

Red Moss, Aberdeenshire

For other uses, see Red Moss.

Red Moss is a wetland bog in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, located at the northwestern edge of the village of Netherley. (Grid Reference NO 955 856)Site of Special Scientific Interest by Scottish Natural Heritage, due to its biodiversity and undisturbed character. The elevation of Red Moss is 113 metres above mean sea level. The upland areas above Red Moss are characterised as agricultural and woodland parcels which are generally attractive and separated by ancient drystone walls or hedgerows.

Hydrology and water quality

The outlet to Red Moss with respect to drainage is the Crynoch Burn, which continues by the Lairhillock Inn and thence through Maryculter and the Oldman Wood. Feeding the Red Moss are the headwaters of Crynoch Burn, along with smaller tributaries draining lands of the south and east.

The bog is clearly acidic, with pH levels in the range of 5.68; moreover, electrical conductivity of the waters are low. Summer water temperatures are in the range of 17.5 to 18.0 degrees Celsius.

History

Roman legions marched by Netherley traversing the route from Raedykes to Normandykes as they sought higher ground evading the bogs of Red Moss and other low-lying mosses associated with the Burn of Muchalls.Elsick Mounth is one of the ancient routes crossing the Grampian Mountains, lying west of Netherley. Alexander Silver, a wealthy East India trader, built Netherley House, a mansion house in Netherley in the late 18th century; he and his son George Silver were noted agricultural innovators of their era.

Location and transport

Masani barrage is also used as the bridge on National highway NH 919 (former name NH 71B) which merges with national highway NH 48 (former name NH 8) (Delhi-Jaipur-Mumbai) at this barrage. Union govt announced the plan to four-lane the Masani barrage road (c. Aug 2017).

Background

Etymology

Masani Devi, a feminine avatara of Shakti Devi, lent its name to Masani village and barrage

.

Masani barrage is named after the Masani village in Rewari District of Haryana in India.Masani Devi, which itself is an avatar (manifestation) of Hindu deity Shakti Devi - a universal divine creative feminine power.

History

Barrage was built in 1989. km long and flows from Aravalli hills in Rajasthan to South Haryana and Delhi.Morarji Desai mandated a flood control and water utilization master plan for the Sahibi river basin, consequently under which construction on Masani barrage commenced in February 1979 and completed in 1989.

Barrage

Technical details

It lies in the Indian seismic zone IV. km barrage wall built at the cost of INR 50 crore has 400 acres (160 ha) to 500 acres (200 ha) resorvior to hold water.

Irrigation and flood control

Barrage was built to provide irrigation facilities to 50,000 acres in Haryana, and flood protection to 1.60 lakh acres in Haryana and 40,000 acres in Delhi.

Fauna

Masani barrage wetland is spread over Dungerwas, Kharkhara and Nikhri villages. Over 20,000 migratory birds of 50 species from Siberia, Russia, Mongolia, Alaska and other parts of the United States are found at the barrage during the winter. Their number is rising since there is favourable habitat and easy availability of food. Bird species found here are wagtails, common teal, pintail, northern shoveller, garganey, eurasian coot, redshank, common sandpiper, ruff, wood sandpiper, marsh sandpiper, stint, kentish plover, greater sand plover, little ringed plover, white-tailed lapwing, greater flamingo, common pochard, ferruginous pochard, gulls and pied avocet. The pacific golden plover, rare a rare bird species from Western Alaska, has also been spotted.Bawal HSIDC wetland between Toyota Gosei Minda factory and Baba Pachpir Temple in the east HSIIDC Estate in Bawal, km northeast from Masani barrage.

The tourism potential can be enhanced if the boating and food court are opened at Masani barrage.

Flora

Golden Triangle ecotourism

Since Masani falls on the Golden Triangle tourist circuit, a large number of international and domestic tourist pass through via the national highway connecting Delhi-Agra to Jaipur & Bikaner-Jaisalmer, this is continuously being improved as a major tourist stop. Lakes here have boating, nature's trail, herbal and eco park, resthouse and lodging, food court and restroom facilities. A zoo is also under development in 2018–19.

The "Golden Jubli lakes and nature park" is located immediately upstream of the barrage. Two lakes, at Masani barrage flood gates and next to Nikhri village, within immediate upstream catchment of the barrage were dugout, rejuvenated and made perennial using the water from the Lal Bahadur Shastri channel of Jawahar Lal Nehru Canal from Western Yamuna Canal. Boating facilities have been made available at these lakes. Of the planned 18 km nature's trail along its bank under development, 6 km have been readied already by August 2018. The lakes are an important feeding and breeding ground for large number of migratory birds who arrive here every year.

Rajiv Gandhi Herbal Park and Nature Camp

This is located immediately downstream of the barrage, on the right side i.e. east flank of the barrage water/flood gates. Rajiv Gandhi Herbal Park and Nature Camp, Masani, was set up on floodplain of Masani barrage in 2011 by Haryana government to promote ecotourism. It entails a herbal conservation park, ayurveda center, wetlands and children park set up by the Forests Department, Haryana. Haryana Tourism has also made log huts accommodation, tree houses, nature trails and dining facilities.adventure tourism centre, with a one km long ropeway, on 45 acres of land at Masani barrage (c. Mar 2017).

Ecological concerns

1970s-80s plans to recharge the subsoil water (plunged to 100 ft depth) vanished with the continual reduction in rainfall and construction of several dams over the Sahibi river in Rajasthan, resulting in basin of the Masani Barrage remaining dry since the late 1980s.

Entire 100 km stretch of Sahibi river and its streams (Sota River, Kotkasim drain and Indori river) in Haryana are ecologically dead.Gurugram also dumps polluted discharge in the riverbed of Sahibi.

Restoration

Restoration

Government of Haryana is coordinating with Government of Rajasthan to ensure water reaches usually-dry masani barrage and dying seasonal Sahibi river. Another government project is being implemented to direct the extra water of Yamuna river during monsoon to Masani barrage through Jawahar Lal Nehru Canal and Western Yamuna Canal (c. July 2015).floodplain of Sahibi river, annually leased to the farmers since 1979, so that the land can be returned to the forest department.Dharuhera will be brought from this barrage. Upstream large patches of isolated forests and dried lake beds are adjacent to the course of seasonal Sahibi near the villages of Bolni, Bidawas, Jhabuwa, Jat Bhagola, Ajarka, Manethi, Karni Kot and Neemrana, which could be made perennial with excess water thus creating an interconnected-wetlands based eco-corridor in the Delhi Supergroup of Aravalli range from Sariska Tiger Reserve to various nature and national parks of Delhi Ridge up to the national capital of New Delhi.

LIDA (cognitive architecture)

For other uses, see Lida (disambiguation).

The LIDA (Learning Intelligent Distribution Agent) cognitive architecture is an integrated artificial cognitive system that attempts to model a broad spectrum of cognition in biological systems, from low-level perception/action to high-level reasoning. Developed primarily by Stan Franklin and colleagues at the University of Memphis, the LIDA architecture is empirically grounded in cognitive science and cognitive neuroscience. In addition to providing hypotheses to guide further research, the architecture can support control structures for software agents and robots. Providing plausible explanations for many cognitive processes, the LIDA conceptual model is also intended as a tool with which to think about how minds work.

Two hypotheses underlie the LIDA architecture and its corresponding conceptual model: 1) Much of human cognition functions by means of frequently iterated (~10 Hz) interactions, called cognitive cycles, between conscious contents, the various memory systems and action selection. 2) These cognitive cycles, serve as the "atoms" of cognition of which higher-level cognitive processes are composed.

Overview

Though it is neither symbolic nor strictly connectionist, LIDA is a hybrid architecture in that it employs a variety of computational mechanisms, chosen for their psychological plausibility. The LIDA cognitive cycle is composed of modules and processes employing these mechanisms.

Computational mechanisms

The LIDA architecture employs several modules that are designed using computational mechanisms drawn from the "new AI". These include variants of the Copycat Architecture,sparse distributed memory,subsumption architecture.

Psychological and neurobiological underpinnings

As a comprehensive, conceptual and computational cognitive architecture the LIDA architecture is intended to model a large portion of human cognition.Global Workspace Theory,situated cognition,working memory,

LIDA's cognitive cycle


LIDA (cognitive architecture)

LIDA's cognitive cycle

The LIDA cognitive cycle can be subdivided into three phases: the understanding phase, the attention (consciousness) phase, and the action selection and learning phase. Beginning the understanding phase, incoming stimuli activate low-level feature detectors in sensory memory. The output engages perceptual associative memory where higher-level feature detectors feed in to more abstract entities such as objects, categories, actions, events, etc. The resulting percept moves to the Workspace where it cues both Transient Episodic Memory and Declarative Memory producing local associations. These local associations are combined with the percept to generate a current situational model which is the agent's understanding of what is going on right now. The attention phase begins with the forming of coalitions of the most salient portions of the current situational model, which then compete for attention, that is a place in the current conscious contents. These conscious contents are then broadcast globally, initiating the learning and action selection phase. New entities and associations, and the reinforcement of old ones, occur as the conscious broadcast reaches the various forms of memory, perceptual, episodic and procedural. In parallel with all this learning, and using the conscious contents, possible action schemes are instantiated from Procedural Memory and sent to Action Selection, where they compete to be the behavior selected for this cognitive cycle. The selected behavior triggers sensory-motor memory to produce a suitable algorithm for its execution, which completes the cognitive cycle.

History

Virtual Mattie (V-Mattie) is a software agent

Baars' Global Workspace Theory (GWT) inspired the transformation of V-Mattie into Conscious Mattie, a software agent with the same domain and tasks whose architecture included a consciousness mechanism à la GWT. Conscious Mattie was the first functionally, though not phenomenally, conscious software agent. Conscious Mattie gave rise to IDA.

IDA (Intelligent Distribution Agent) was developed for the US Navy

The LIDA (Learning IDA) architecture was originally spawned from IDA by the addition of several styles and modes of learning,

Hyde (UK Parliament constituency)

53°26′49″N 2°04′55″W / 53.447°N 2.082°W

Hyde was a county constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1885 until 1918. It was seated in the town of Hyde, Cheshire.

From the 1918 general election onwards, the town has been represented in parliament through the constituency of Stalybridge and Hyde.

Boundaries

The constituency, officially Cheshire, Hyde Division, was created from the two-member Eastern division of Cheshire by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 as one of eight new single-member divisions of Cheshire. It consisted of the following parishes and townships in north east Cheshire:Bredbury, the part of Brinnington outside the Municipal Borough of Stockport, Godley , Hattersley, Hollingworth, Hyde, Marple, Mottram, Newton, Offerton, Romiley, Tintwistle, Torkington and Werneth.

Abolition

The Representation of the People Act 1918 reorganised constituencies throughout Great Britain. The bulk of the Hyde constituency was merged with parliamentary borough of Stalybridge to form the new seat of Stalybridge and Hyde. The Bredbury, Marple and Romiley areas passed to an expanded Macclesfield constituency, while Offerton and Torkington, which now formed part of the urban district of Hazel Grove and Bramhall, were included in Knutsford.

Masanobu Fukuoka

Masanobu Fukuoka (Japanese: 福岡 正信, Hepburn: Fukuoka Masanobu, 2 February 1913 – 16 August 2008) was a Japanese farmer and philosopher celebrated for his natural farming and re-vegetation of desertified lands. He was a proponent of no-till, herbicide and pesticide free cultivation methods from which he created a particular method of agriculture, commonly referred to as "natural farming" or "do-nothing farming".

Fukuoka was the author of several books, scientific papers and other publications, and was featured in television documentaries and interviews from the 1970s onwards.

Life

Fukuoka was born on 2 February 1913 in Iyo, Ehime, Japan, the second son of Kameichi Fukuoka, an educated and wealthy land owner and local leader. He attended Gifu Prefecture Agricultural College and trained as a microbiologist and agricultural scientist, beginning a career as a research scientist specialising in plant pathology. He worked at the Plant Inspection Division of the Yokohama Customs Bureau in 1934 as an agricultural customs inspector. In 1937 he was hospitalised with pneumonia, and while recovering, he stated that he had a profound spiritual experience that transformed his world viewagricultural science. He immediately resigned from his post as a research scientist, returning to his family's farm on the island of Shikoku in southern Japan.

Fukuoka's hill in Iyo, Ehime

From 1938, Fukuoka began to practice and experiment with new techniques on organic citrus orchards and used the observations gained to develop the idea of "Natural Farming". Among other practices, he abandoned pruning an area of citrus trees, which caused the trees to become affected by insects and the branches to become entangled. He stated that the experience taught him the difference between nature and non-intervention.World War II, during which he worked at the Kōchi Prefecture agricultural experiment station on subjects including farming research and food production.

Masanobu Fukuoka

In 1940, Fukuoka married his wife Ayako, and they had five children together. After World War II, his father lost most of the family lands in postwar land reform and was left with three-eighths of an acre of rice land and the hillside citrus orchards his son had taken over before the war. Despite these circumstances, in 1947 he took up natural farming again with success, using no-till farming methods to raise rice and barley. He wrote his first book, Mu 1: The God Revolution, or Mu 1: Kami no Kakumei (無〈1〉神の革命) in Japanese, during the same year, and worked to spread word of the benefits of his methods and philosophy. His later book, The One-Straw Revolution, was published in 1975 and translated into English in 1978.

From 1979, Fukuoka travelled the world extensively, giving lectures, working directly to plant seeds and re-vegetate areas, and receiving a number of awards in various countries in recognition of his work and achievements. By the 1980s, Fukuoka recorded that he and his family shipped some 6,000 crates of citrus to Tokyo each year, totalling about 90 tonnes.

During his first journey overseas, Fukuoka was accompanied by his wife Ayako, met macrobiotic diet leaders Michio Kushi and Herman Aihara,University of California in Berkeley and Los Angeles, the Green Gulch Farm Zen Center, the Lundberg Family Farms, and met with United Nations UNCCD representatives including Maurice Strong, who encouraged Fukuoka's practical involvement in the "Plan of Action to Combat Desertification". He also travelled to New York City and surrounding areas such as Boston and Amherst College in Massachusetts.

In 1983, he travelled to Europe for 50 days holding workshops, educating farmers and sowing seeds. In 1985, he spent 40 days in Somalia and Ethiopia, sowing seeds to re-vegetate desert areas, including working in remote villages and a refugee camp. The following year he returned to the United States, speaking at three international conferences on natural farmingWashington state, San Francisco and at the Agriculture Department of the University of California, Santa Cruz. Fukuoka also took the opportunity to visit farms, forests and cities giving lectures and meeting people. In 1988, he lectured at the Indian Science Congress, state agricultural universities and other venues.


Masanobu Fukuoka

Fukuoka went to Thailand in 1990 and 1991, visiting farms and collecting seeds for re-vegetating deserts in India, which he returned to during November and December that year in an attempt to re-vegetate them. The next year saw him participate in official meetings in Japan associated with the Earth Summit in Rio, Brazil, and in 1996 he returned to Africa, sowing seeds in desert areas of Tanzania, observing baobab trees and jungle country. He taught the making and sowing of clay seed balls in Vietnam during 1995.

He travelled to the Philippines in 1998, carrying out Natural Farming research, and visited Greece later that year to assist plans to re-vegetate 10,000 hectares (40 sq. mi.) around the Lake Vegoritida area in the Pella regional unit and to produce a film of the major seed ball effort. The next year he returned to Europe, visiting Mallorca.

He visited China in 2001, and in 2002 he returned again to India to speak at the "Nature as Teacher" workshop at Navdanya Farm and at Bija Vidyapeeth Earth University in Dehra Dun, Uttarakhand in northern India. On Gandhi's Day, he gave the third annual Albert Howard Memorial Lecture to attendees from all six continents. That autumn he was to visit Afghanistan with Yuko Honma but was unable to attend, shipping eight tons of seed in his stead. In 2005, he gave a brief lecture at the World Expo in Aichi Prefecture, Japan,NHK.

Masanobu Fukuoka died on 16 August 2008 at the age of 95, after a period of declining mobility that made him reliant on a wheelchair.

Natural farming

Main article: Natural farming

Fukuoka called his agricultural philosophy shizen nōhō (自然農法), most commonly translated into English as "natural farming".

The system is based on the recognition of the complexity of living organisms that shape an ecosystem and deliberately exploiting it. Fukuoka saw farming not just as a means of producing food but as an aesthetic and spiritual approach to life,

The four principles of natural farming are that:


Masanobu Fukuoka

The four principles of natural farming are that:

  * human cultivation of soil, plowing or tilling are unnecessary, as is the use of powered machines
  * prepared fertilizers are unnecessary, as is the process of preparing compost
  * weeding, either by cultivation or by herbicides, is unnecessary; instead, only minimal weed suppression with minimal disturbance should be used
  * applications of pesticides or herbicides are unnecessary

Clay seed balls

Fukuoka re-invented and advanced the use of clay seed balls. Clay seed balls were originally an ancient practice in which seeds for the next season's crops are mixed together, sometimes with humus or compost for microbial inoculants, and then are rolled within clay to form into small balls. This method is now commonly used in guerilla gardening to rapidly seed restricted or private areas.

Awards

In 1988, Fukuoka received the Visva-Bharati University's Desikottam AwardRamon Magsaysay Award for Public Service in the Philippines,

In March 1997, the Earth Summit+5 forum in Rio de Janeiro presented him with the Earth Council Award, received in person at a ceremony in Tokyo on 26 May of that year,

In 1998, Fukuoka received a grant of US$10,000 from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, but the grant was returned because his advanced age prevented him from completing the project.

Influence

In the international development of the organic farming movement, Fukuoka is considered to be amongst the "five giant personalities who inspired the movement"Rudolf Steiner, German-Swiss Hans Müller, Lady Eve Balfour in the United Kingdom and J. I. Rodale in the United States.

His books are considered both farming compendiums and guides to a way of life.

The One-Straw Revolution has been translated into over 20 languages and sold more than one million copiesDavid Mas MasumotoYoshikazu Kawaguchi,permaculture.


Masanobu Fukuoka

Rosana Tositrakul, a Thai activist and politician, spent a year studying with Fukuoka on his farm. She then organised a visit by Fukuoka to the Kut Chum District of Yasothon Province in northeastern Thailand, which, together with his books, were influential in the rapid and widespread adoption of organic and chemical-free rice farming in the district.

Reception

In the preface to the US editions of The One-Straw Revolution, Wendell Berry wrote that Fukuoka's techniques are not "directly applicable to most American farms", but ultimately concludes that it would be "a mistake to assume that the practical passages of this book are worthless..." suggesting that Natural Farming would require farmers to have fresh eyes and the right kind of concern for their land in order to come up with methods relevant to their own farms.

Fukuoka's techniques have proven difficult to apply, even on most Japanese farms, and have been described as a sophisticated approach despite their simple appearance.

In the early 2000s, Theodor Friedrich and Josef Kienzle of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) opined that his rejection of mechanisation is not justifiable for modern agricultural production

More recently however, the FAO (along with multiple research universities and organizations such as the Union of Concerned Scientists) have found conventional industrial agriculture systems to be rooted in unsustainable practices that ignore basic biology and the needs of ecosystems.

In Japan, where Fukuoka had few followers or associates,Yoshikazu Kawaguchi, who started a movement of widespread free schools, and yearly conferences to help spread the mindset of natural farming. There are now over 40 learning sites and more than 900 concurrent students in the Japanese natural farming network.
