Djoko Munandar

Djoko Munandar (15 March 1948 – 5 December 2008) was an Indonesian politician who served as the first elected governor of Banten, serving between 2002 and 2005. His tenure ended following a graft investigation in 2005 and he was sentenced to two years in prison, although he was later found not guilty by the Supreme Court of Indonesia upon appeal.

Early life

Munandar was born on either 15 March 1947 in Surakarta,Cirebon.Indonesian Military Academy in Magelang, but his application was rejected and he instead enrolled at the public works engineering academy (ATPU) in Bandung one year later. He was a part of the student body during his time in ATPU.

Career

After graduating, Munandar became a civil servant within the Ministry of Public Works' planning department, initially as a supervisor. He worked within the Jatiluhur Dam project authority, and then managed several projects in Karawang and Bekasi. While a civil servant, he obtained his bachelor's degree in civil engineering from the Bandung Institute of Technology in 1981. By 1987, he was granted a scholarship to study for a master's degree in water management in Chennai, India. He opted to move to Serang in 1999 and began participating in politics, being elected as the deputy mayor of Cilegon. He also joined the United Development Party and was appointed as the party's provincial chair.

At Banten's inaugural gubernatorial election on 3 December 2001, Munandar ran as a candidate with Ratu Atut Chosiyah as his running mate. The pair won 37 votes out of the 65 votes cast by members of the Banten Regional People's Representative Council.

Investigation and death

On 17 December 2004, following a questioning, Munandar was designated as a suspect in a Rp 14 billion (USD 1.5 million) corruption case related to funding for legislators.Serang District Court sentenced him to two years' imprisonment on 22 December 2005.Supreme Court of Indonesia, which granted his appeal and found Munandar not guilty of all charges on 8 May 2008, with the Serang District Court only receiving a formal notice in February 2009.

Borgomale

Borgomale is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Cuneo in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 60 kilometres (37 mi) southeast of Turin and about 50 kilometres (31 mi) northeast of Cuneo.

Borgomale borders the following municipalities: Alba, Benevello, Bosia, Castino, Lequio Berria, and Trezzo Tinella.

The 15th century castle in the village was formerly owned by the Falletti Marquises of Barolo. It was built on an existing fortification. It became a residential place after the passage of Borgomale to Casa Savoia (1631, Peace of Cherasco), and figures among the "Open Castles" of Lower Piedmont.

The name of the village is connected with the concept of 'apple tree' (Italian melo) and/or 'apple' (Italian mela) and the current denomination of the village, with '-male' ('bad', 'evil'), derives from a bona fide paretimology produced over time by the local speakers and due to the confusion between Latin mălum, 'bad ', 'evil', and Latin mālum, 'apple 'and/or 'apple tree'. Borgomale was originally 'the village of apples', or 'the village of the apple trees', and, over time, it became 'the bad village', or 'the village of evil', due to the misunderstanding of the vowel 'quantity' of the Latin lexemes related to its toponym.

Gell-Mann and Low theorem

In quantum field theory, the Gell-Mann and Low theorem is a mathematical statement that allows one to relate the ground (or vacuum) state of an interacting system to the ground state of the corresponding non-interacting theory. It was proved in 1951 by Murray Gell-Mann and Francis E. Low. The theorem is useful because, among other things, by relating the ground state of the interacting theory to its non-interacting ground state, it allows one to express Green's functions (which are defined as expectation values of Heisenberg-picture fields in the interacting vacuum) as expectation values of interaction picture fields in the non-interacting vacuum. While typically applied to the ground state, the Gell-Mann and Low theorem applies to any eigenstate of the Hamiltonian. Its proof relies on the concept of starting with a non-interacting Hamiltonian and adiabatically switching on the interactions.

History

The theorem was proved first by Gell-Mann and Low in 1951, making use of the Dyson series.Klaus Hepp provided an alternative derivation for the case where the original Hamiltonian describes free particles and the interaction is norm bounded.adiabatic theorem.

Statement of the theorem

Let [|\Psi _{0}\rangle ] be an eigenstate of [H_{0}] with energy [E_{0}] and let the 'interacting' Hamiltonian be [H=H_{0}+gV], where [g] is a coupling constant and [V] the interaction term. We define a Hamiltonian [H_{\epsilon }=H_{0}+e^{{-\epsilon |t|}}gV] which effectively interpolates between [H] and [H_{0}] in the limit [\epsilon \rightarrow 0^{+}] and [|t|\rightarrow \infty ]. Let [U_{{\epsilon I}}] denote the evolution operator in the interaction picture. The Gell-Mann and Low theorem asserts that if the limit as [\epsilon \rightarrow 0^{+}] of


Gell-Mann and Low theorem

[|\Psi _{\epsilon }^{{(\pm )}}\rangle ={\frac {U_{{\epsilon I}}(0,\pm \infty )|\Psi _{0}\rangle }{\langle \Psi _{0}|U_{{\epsilon I}}(0,\pm \infty )|\Psi _{0}\rangle }}]

exists, then [|\Psi _{\epsilon }^{{(\pm )}}\rangle ] are eigenstates of [H].

Note that when applied to, say, the ground-state, the theorem does not guarantee that the evolved state will be a ground state. In other words, level crossing is not excluded.

Proof

As in the original paper, the theorem is typically proved making use of Dyson's expansion of the evolution operator. Its validity however extends beyond the scope of perturbation theory as has been demonstrated by Molinari. We follow Molinari's method here. Focus on [H_{\epsilon }] and let [g=e^{{\epsilon \theta }}]. From Schrödinger's equation for the time-evolution operator

[i\hbar \partial _{{t_{1}}}U_{\epsilon }(t_{1},t_{2})=H_{\epsilon }(t_{1})U_{\epsilon }(t_{1},t_{2})]

and the boundary condition [{\displaystyle U_{\epsilon }(t_{2},t_{2})=1}] we can formally write

[U_{\epsilon }(t_{1},t_{2})=1+{\frac {1}{i\hbar }}\int _{{t_{2}}}^{{t_{1}}}dt'(H_{0}+e^{{\epsilon (\theta -|t'|)}}V)U_{\epsilon }(t',t_{2}).]


Gell-Mann and Low theorem

Focus for the moment on the case [{\displaystyle 0\geq t_{1}\geq t_{2}}]. Through a change of variables [{\displaystyle \tau =t'+\theta }] we can write

[{\displaystyle U_{\epsilon }(t_{1},t_{2})=1+{\frac {1}{i\hbar }}\int _{\theta +t_{2}}^{\theta +t_{1}}d\tau (H_{0}+e^{\epsilon \tau }V)U_{\epsilon }(\tau -\theta ,t_{2}).}]

We therefore have that

[\partial _{\theta }U_{\epsilon }(t_{1},t_{2})=\epsilon g\partial _{g}U_{\epsilon }(t_{1},t_{2})=\partial _{{t_{1}}}U_{\epsilon }(t_{1},t_{2})+\partial _{{t_{2}}}U_{\epsilon }(t_{1},t_{2}).]

This result can be combined with the Schrödinger equation and its adjoint

[-i\hbar \partial _{{t_{1}}}U_{\epsilon }(t_{2},t_{1})=U_{\epsilon }(t_{2},t_{1})H_{\epsilon }(t_{1})]

to obtain

[i\hbar \epsilon g\partial _{g}U_{\epsilon }(t_{1},t_{2})=H_{\epsilon }(t_{1})U_{\epsilon }(t_{1},t_{2})-U_{\epsilon }(t_{1},t_{2})H_{\epsilon }(t_{2}).]


Gell-Mann and Low theorem

The corresponding equation between [H_{{\epsilon I}},U_{{\epsilon I}}] is the same. It can be obtained by pre-multiplying both sides with [e^{{iH_{0}t_{1}/\hbar }}], post-multiplying with [e^{{iH_{0}t_{2}/\hbar }}] and making use of

[U_{{\epsilon I}}(t_{1},t_{2})=e^{{iH_{0}t_{1}/\hbar }}U_{{\epsilon }}(t_{1},t_{2})e^{{-iH_{0}t_{2}/\hbar }}.]

The other case we are interested in, namely [t_{2}\geq t_{1}\geq 0] can be treated in an analogous fashion and yields an additional minus sign in front of the commutator (we are not concerned here with the case where [t_{{1,2}}] have mixed signs). In summary, we obtain

[\left(H_{{\epsilon ,t=0}}-E_{0}\pm i\hbar \epsilon g\partial _{g}\right)U_{{\epsilon I}}(0,\pm \infty )|\Psi _{0}\rangle =0.]

We proceed for the negative-times case. Abbreviating the various operators for clarity

[i\hbar \epsilon g\partial _{g}\left(U|\Psi _{0}\rangle \right)=(H_{\epsilon }-E_{0})U|\Psi _{0}\rangle .]

Now using the definition of [\Psi _{\epsilon }] we differentiate and eliminate derivatives [\partial _{g}(U|\Psi _{0}\rangle )] using the above expression, finding


Gell-Mann and Low theorem

[{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}i\hbar \epsilon g\partial _{g}|\Psi _{\epsilon }\rangle &={\frac {1}{\langle \Psi _{0}|U|\Psi _{0}\rangle }}(H_{\epsilon }-E_{0})U|\Psi _{0}\rangle -{\frac {U|\Psi _{0}\rangle }{{\langle \Psi _{0}|U|\Psi _{0}\rangle }^{2}}}\langle \Psi _{0}|(H_{\epsilon }-E_{0})U|\Psi _{0}\rangle \\&=(H_{\epsilon }-E_{0})|\Psi _{\epsilon }\rangle -|\Psi _{\epsilon }\rangle \langle \Psi _{0}|H_{\epsilon }-E_{0}|\Psi _{\epsilon }\rangle \\&=\left[H_{\epsilon }-E\right]|\Psi _{\epsilon }\rangle .\end{aligned}}}]

where [E=E_{0}+\langle \Psi _{0}|H_{\epsilon }-H_{0}|\Psi _{\epsilon }\rangle ]. We can now let [\epsilon \rightarrow 0^{+}] as by assumption the [g\partial _{g}|\Psi _{\epsilon }\rangle ] in left hand side is finite. We then clearly see that [|\Psi _{\epsilon }\rangle ] is an eigenstate of [H] and the proof is complete.

Hario Island

Hario Island (針尾島), is a large island located in the mouth of Ōmura Bay, part of the Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. It is the 7th largest and 6th most populous island of the islands in Nagasaki Prefecture. The island, 33.16 km² in area, had 9767 inhabitants as of 2015. The island is dominated by the Citrus unshiu plantations. The island access is by road and rail transport from the mainland of Kyushu through seven bridges linking it to Sasebo and Saikai cities. The main access routes are Japan National Route 202 and Japan National Route 205.

Geography

The Hario island is composed of rhyolite lava flows, resulting in very irregular coastline, except of north-eastern portion where the smoother tidal channel approximately 100 m wide separate Hario island from the Kyushu island. The heavily eroded lava plateau is mostly unsuitable for rice agriculture, with the island dominated by the Citrus unshiu orchards instead. The northern part of the island is hilly, forming an intricate valley network. The bay on the northern tip of the island houses US military station. The housings are concentrated on the north-east, along the tidal channel.

History

Up to Jōmon period the obsidian commonly found on the Hario Island was an important raw material for the stone tools. Later, an attempt was made to make porcelain using a local rhyolite outcrops, but was abandoned. Following a severe power struggle between Ōmura Domain and Hirado Domain during Sengoku period, the island was eventually absorbed into Hirado Domain and development resumed. Thanks to the shallow sea around, land reclamation was extensive starting from the Edo period. By the end of Edo period, the island housed a Smoke signal station to notify Hirado Island of the passage of the Dutch merchants to the Dejima. In 1936, the Obashi bridgeSaikai city, putting the end to the ferry operations.

Currently islanders are focusing on citrus unshiu, livestock breeding and cultured pearl production, and small scale fishing too to earn a living.

Charitas is a papal encyclical issued by Pope Pius VI on 13 April 1791 that condemned the Civil Oath adopted by the French National Assembly.tithes and annates. It also praised the non-jurors.

Pius wrote:

We call upon you to witness, however, in the name of the Lord, beloved sons, Catholics who in the kingdom of the Gauls are united, being mindful of your religion and the faith of your fathers, we counsel you from the innermost feelings of our heart lest you secede from it, inasmuch as it is the one and the true religion, which bestows eternal life and protects citizens, even societies, and makes them prosperous. Take special care lest you proffer ears to the insidious voices of this secular sect, whose voices furnish death, and avoid in this way all usurpers whether they are called archbishops, bishops or parish priests, so that there is nothing in common between you and them, especially in divine matters...in one word, cling to us: for no-one can be in the Church of Christ unless he is unified with the visible head of the Church itself and is strengthened in the cathedral of Peter.

The National Assembly responded to this encyclical by issuing the "Decree on Publication of Papal Communications" (9 June 1791) that prohibited the publication of papal dispatches.

History


Kosaka, Akita

History

The area of present-day Kosaka was part of ancient Mutsu Province and was ruled by the Nambu clan of Morioka Domain during the Edo period. The “Kosaka-kaido” highway connecting Morioka Domain with Hirosaki Domain passed through Kosaka. Under the Nambu, major deposits of gold and silver were mined by the Fujita-gumi, the predecessor to modern Dowa Holdings for the Nambu clan at the Kosaka mine. After the start of the Meiji period, the area became briefly part of Rikuchū Province before being transferred to Akita Prefecture in 1871. It was organized as part of Kazuno District, Akita Prefecture in 1878. The village of Kosaka was created with the establishment of the modern municipalities system on April 1, 1889. It was raised to town status on May 12, 1914.

Economy

The town prospered greatly as a mining center for gold, silver, copper and zinc in the Meiji period, and many modern buildings were built, including the Kosaka mining office. After the Second World War, mining resources were depleted and the town declined. In recent years, he has been searching for ways to create a town that makes use of the modern architecture of the Meiji period and the tourism resources of Lake Towada. In addition to this, Dowa Holdings, the owner of the Kosaka Mine is active in the metal recycling industry. In terms of light manufacturing, the Towada Audio Corporation, a manufacturer of shortwave radio sets, TV tuners and AC adapters in the Sony group, is based in Kosaka.

Education

Kosaka has one public elementary school and one public middle school operated by the town government and one public high school operated by the Akita Prefectural Board of Education.

Transportation

Railway

The Kosaka Smelting & Refining Kosaka Line provided passenger services until 1994. At present, the town is not served by any passenger railway line.

Since 1984, the youth castle serves as an educational institution of the Youth Council of the city of Nuremberg.

Location

The castle is situated on the slopes of the Franconian Heights, a small, forested, hill range (Frankenhöhe Nature Park), high above the valley of the Aisch. To the east of the castle are the extensive forests of the Franconian Heights, part of the Hoheneck Forest. At its base is one of the few wine areas in Middle Franconia (Mittelfranken Bocksbeutelstraße).

History

Hoheneck was first mentioned in 1132.

The City of Nuremberg acquired the castle in 1953 and it is the only castle owned by the city, as the Nuremberg Castle is owned by the Free State of Bavaria. Since April 1984 the Youth Castle serves as a youth education centre for the Youth Council of Kreis Nuremberg.

Map of the Houston city limits

Houston, the most populous city in the Southern United States, is located along the upper Texas Gulf Coast, approximately 50 miles (80 km) northwest of the Gulf of Mexico at Galveston. The city, which is the ninth-largest in the United States by area, covers 601.7 square miles (1,558 km2), of which 579.4 square miles (1,501 km2), or 96.3%, is land and 22.3 square miles (58 km2), or 3.7%, is water.

Houston is located in the Gulf Coastal Plain biome, and its vegetation is classified as temperate grassland. Much of the city was built on marshes, forested land, swamp, or prairie, all of which can still be seen in surrounding areas.

The city's topography is very flat, making flooding a recurring problem for its residents. The city stands about 50 feet (15 m) above sea level—the highest area within city limits being 90 feet (27 m).subsidence, caused by extensive groundwater pumping and resource extraction, has caused the elevation to drop 10 feet (3.0 m) or more in certain areas. As a result, the city turned to surface water sources for its municipal supply, creating reservoirs such as Lake Houston and Lake Conroe (of which Houston owns two-thirds interest).

Houston has four major bayous passing through the city: Buffalo Bayou, which runs into downtown and the Houston Ship Channel; and three of its tributaries: Brays Bayou, which runs along the Texas Medical Center; White Oak Bayou, which runs through the Heights and near the northwest area; and Sims Bayou, which runs through the south of Houston and downtown Houston. The ship channel goes past Galveston and into the Gulf of Mexico.

Houston is located 165 miles (266 km) east of Austin,112 miles (180 km) west of the Louisiana border, and 250 miles (400 km) south of Dallas.Houston County, Texas, located 100 miles (160 km) north of Houston, is unrelated to Houston.

Geology


Geography of Houston

Geology

Houston is largely located within the Northern Humid Gulf Coast Prairies level IV ecoregion (34a), a subset of the Western Gulf coastal grasslands level III region as defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. This region is generally underlaid by Quaternary-aged sand, silts, and clays (clay, clay loam, or sandy clay loam) and covered by grasslands with occasional clusters of oak trees.

The land surface in and around the city of Houston is composed of alternating layers of red, gray, sandy brown, and black organic clay; these strata generally dip to the southeast at a slope of 0.06% (3 feet (0.91 m) of vertical change for every 1 mile (1.6 km) of distance traveled).deposited by tributaries of local waterways, particularly the Brazos and Trinity rivers.Cypress Creek; most of the surface there consists of tan-colored sand with small amounts of gray clay.escarpments caused by faulting or erosion.

The sedimentary layers underneath Houston ultimately extend down some 60,000 feet (18,000 m), with the oldest beds deposited during the Cretaceous.30,000 feet (9,100 m) and 40,000 feet (12,000 m) below the surface is a layer of salt, the primary source of salt domes that dot the metropolitan area.buoyant than other sediments, it rises to the surface, creating domes and anticlines and causing subsidence due to its removal from its original strata.Pierce Junction is a notable example of a heavily drilled salt dome oil field in Houston.

Seismic activity

The Houston region is generally earthquake-free, despite the presence of 86 mapped and historically active surface faults with an aggregate length of 149 miles (240 km).Long Point–Eureka Heights fault system which runs through the center of the city. No significant historically recorded earthquakes have occurred in Houston, but researchers

Land subsidence has occurred across Greater Houston, primarily due to the pumping of water from subsurface aquifers (see Groundwater section). This subsidence may also be associated with slip along the faults; however, the slippage is slow and not considered an earthquake, in which stationary faults must slip suddenly enough to create seismic waves.fault creep.

Rivers

Houston, often popularly referred to as the Bayou City,slow-moving, swampy rivers, which are essential to draining the region's broad floodplains. The city was founded at the convergence of Buffalo Bayou and White Oak Bayou, a point today known as Allen's Landing.

Buffalo Bayou is the longest and largest of the bayous which flow through Houston, following a 53-mile (85 km)Katy through Memorial, Rice Military, Downtown, the East End, Denver Harbor, and Channelview before meeting the San Jacinto River at Galveston Bay. The broad eastern stretch of the river, known as the Houston Ship Channel, plays an essential role in the Port of Houston and is home to one of the largest petrochemical refining complexes in the United States.linear parks such as Terry Hershey Park and Buffalo Bayou Park which serve as corridors for walking and bicycling.

White Oak Bayou, a major tributary of the Buffalo, has its source in Jersey Village and travels 25 miles (40 km)Inwood Forest, Oak Forest, and Houston Heights. Brays Bayou, another major tributary to the south, originates near Mission Bend and travels 31 miles (50 km)Alief, Sharpstown, Meyerland, Braeswood Place, the Texas Medical Center, Riverside Terrace, and the East End before meeting Buffalo Bayou at Harrisburg.

Two more significant tributaries of Buffalo Bayou flow through parts of Houston outside the Interstate 610 loop. Greens Bayou, which originates in far northwest Houston near Willowbrook, flows for 43 miles (69 km)Greenspoint and undeveloped areas of northeastern Harris County. Sims Bayou, which has its source near Missouri City southwest of Houston, flows for 23 miles (37 km)Almeda, Sunnyside, South Park, and Manchester.


Geography of Houston

Houston's topography is further defined by a large number of creeks and ditches. Overall, this intricate system of waterways is essential to flood control; Houston is well known as one of the most flood-prone cities in the United States.United States Army Corps of Engineers, in cooperation with the city and Harris County Flood Control District, has channelized, paved, widened, and deepened extensive sections of all of the five major bayous specified above, with the notable exception of some parts of the Buffalo near Memorial. The Buffalo Bayou watershed also features two flood control reservoirs, Addicks Reservoir and Barker Reservoir, which retain large amounts of water after extreme rainfall events.

Cypress Creek drains a significant portion of northern Harris County. The river flows for 52 miles (84 km)Cypress and Spring before joining the San Jacinto River. The creek's watershed, which covers 310 square miles (800 km2), is one of the largest in the county.

The Brazos River straddles some of Houston's extreme western and southwestern suburbs, particularly Sugar Land and Rosenberg.

Water bodies

Houston contains few naturally formed lakes. Lake Houston, an 11,854-acre (4,797-hectare) reservoir located approximately 15 miles (24 km) northeast of Downtown, was created by damming the San Jacinto River in the 1950s to create a dependable, long-term supply of drinking water.Kingwood community and serves as a recreational destination.

Galveston Bay is a central feature of the Greater Houston metropolitan area. The bay serves an essential economic role as the home of the Houston Ship Channel and a large fishing industry and is also an important destination for recreation and coastal wildlife. Covering approximately 600 square miles (1,600 km2), the estuary extends 30 miles (48 km) inland from the coast and has a maximum width of 17 miles (27 km).Galveston and Texas City, are located along the bay. While the City of Houston proper does not adjoin the bay, its limits do extend southward to encompass the NASA Johnson Space Center and the community of Clear Lake.

Clear Lake, which gives the aforementioned community its name, is a tidal lakebrackish water located on the western side of Galveston Bay. Covering about 2,000 acres (810 hectares), the lake is fed by Clear Creek and inflow from the bay.250 square miles (650 km2) encompassing seventeen tributaries.

Two freshwater aquifers, the Chicot and Evangeline, underlie the Greater Houston area. These aquifers are composed mostly of sand and clay. The Chicot is located above the Evangeline, and a confining layer separates them from the Jasper aquifer below, which is mostly saltwater.1,000 feet (300 m) and 2,000 feet (610 m).

Extraction of water, oil, and gas from these aquifers has caused land subsidence throughout the Greater Houston region since the early 20th century. Before 1942, Houston's municipal water supply was sourced exclusively from groundwater wells.petroleum industry at the beginning of the century also led to widespread resource extraction around the city.water table, and by the 1970s, areas around the Houston Ship Channel had subsided up to 7 feet (2.1 m) due to rapid industrialization, prompting the creation of the Harris–Galveston Coastal Subsidence District.10 feet (3.0 m) in some parts of east Houston, and 3,200 square miles (8,300 km2) of the region had experienced at least 1 foot (0.30 m) of sinking.

The creation of the district, which enforced a transition from ground to surface water consumption, effectively halted subsidence in the most severe areas near the Ship Channel; aquifer recharge has helped water table elevations return to normal.

When Houston was established in 1837, the city's founders—John Kirby Allen and Augustus Chapman Allen—divided it into political geographic districts called "wards." The ward designation is the progenitor of the current-day Houston City Council districts—there are nine in all.


Geography of Houston

Locations in Houston are generally classified as either being inside or outside Interstate 610, known as the "610 Loop" or simply "The Loop". Inside the loop generally encompasses the central business district, and has come to define an urban lifestyle and state of mind. Elizabeth Long, the author of the 2003 book Book Clubs: Women and the Uses of Reading in Everyday Life, wrote that most of the upper middle classes in the 610 Loop live in the southwestern part of the inner city in the areas near Hermann Park, the Houston Museum District, Rice University, and the Texas Medical Center, while some portions of northern Houston and Eastern Houston have been gentrified and also have upper middle classes.

The outlying areas of Houston, the airports, and the city's suburbs and enclaves are outside the Loop. Another ring road, Beltway 8 (also known simply as the "Beltway" or as the "Sam Houston Tollway"), encircles the city another 5 miles (8 km) farther out. Parts of Beltway 8 are toll roads, but for most of the route, motorists can drive in the adjacent "feeder" or service roads at no charge.Farm to Market Road 1960 (FM 1960) forms a semicircle in northern Houston and is another dividing line.State Highway 99 (also known as the Grand Parkway), is under construction.Clear Lake/NASA "[represents] another burgeoning concentration of largely aerospace-related prosperity".

Houston, being the largest city in the United States without zoning laws, has grown in an unusual manner. Rather than a single "downtown" as the center of the city's employment, five additional business districts have grown throughout the inner city—they are Uptown, Texas Medical Center, Greenway Plaza, Westchase, and Greenspoint. If these business districts were combined, they would form the third-largest downtown in the United States. The city also has the third-largest skyline in the country (after New York City and Chicago), but because it is spread over a few miles, pictures of the city show—for the most part—the main downtown area.

ISEQ Smallcaps

The ISEQ Smallcaps index is a benchmark stock market index composed of companies that trade on the Euronext Dublin. The index comprises the smaller companies contained within the ISEQ Overall Index.

Due to the nature of the index prices of shares of the ISEQ Smallcaps are more volatile: as trading volumes and liquidity are smaller compared to the ISEQ 20 or ISEQ Overall stocks changes in prices (in percentage) can be much greater than with the more liquid and higher volume shares.

Inclusion criteria and other rules

Originally only stocks that were part of the ISEQ Overall index on 4 January 1999 and a market capitalisation at that date of € 400.000.000 or less were included in the list. For shares that were floated on the ISEQ after the date of 04-01-1999 the following criteria must be met to be included in the Smallcaps index:

  * Companies must be eligible for inclusion in ISEQ Overall Index
  * Companies which are included in the ISEQ 20 Index are excluded
  * Companies must have a market capitalisation of less than or equal to the current SCI Market Cap Threshold

If a company de-lists or is removed from the ISEQ then it will also be excluded from this index. Also if the shares are included in the ISEQ 20 index they will be removed from the Smallcaps index.

Index base date and value

The index is based on the value of the underlying shares on 4 January 1999 and the index was set at 1.000. Publication of this index started on 1 December 1999.

Listing review

The listing of companies in this index is reviewed every 3 months: March, June, September and December.

Hohenfelder Mühlenau

The Hohenfelder Mühlenau is a stream, about 10 km (6.2 mi) long, in the district of Plön in northeast part of the North German state of Schleswig-Holstein.

The Hohenfelder Mühlenau is classified as a gravel-bedded stream. It begins at the Selenter See in Holstein and, together with the Salzau / Hagener Au, is one of its natural tailwaters. The course of the stream has an incline of about 4%, a length of 10 km (6.2 mi), a width of generally between 2 and 4 metres (7 and 13 ft) and a depth of 0.1 to 1.5 metres (4 to 59 in). It is interrupted by two barriers, the mill at Köhn, which has fallen into ruins leaving just a foundation behind, and poses an obstacle of 2 to 3 metres (7 to 10 ft). This hurdle will now be bypassed, in line with the EU Water Framework Directive, using a drop structure (Sohlgleite) which will be built next to the existing building. The Hohenfelde Mill is another obstacle of about 4 metres (13 ft), which is partly bypassed with a fish pass. The existing 50 hp Francis turbine is still an obstacle however. At the end of its course the Hohenfelder Mühlenau discharges into the Baltic Sea with a water quality class of I-II.

Geography of Galicia

Galicia

The geography of Galicia (Spain) is characterized by the contrast between the low altitude coastal relief and, further inland, by the higher altitude of the Galician Massif which itself offers contrasts between the morphology of the high northern plains and the southern mountains and valleys.

Limits

The territory of Galicia is between 43°47′ N (Estaca de Bares) and 41°49′ N (Portela do Home, border with Portugal) in latitude. In longitude, the territory lies between 6º42′ W and 9º18′ W.

Coast

The Galician coast has 1,500 kilometres (930 mi) and has many incoming and outgoing and small islands, and in general is steep declines or little soft. Alternate locations with different characteristics, as in the Rías Baixas' Corrubedo or the Cantabrian Mariña de Lugo. The first features a coastal dune in a low profile, and the second a high geological deposition zone on its original level. Most of the population lives along the Atlantic estuaries in the major urban centers and their areas of influence. The estuaries are important fisheries, helping the Galician coast be one of the most important fishing areas in the world

Capes

Cape Ortegal

Galician most known capes are:

  * Estaca de Bares, which is the northern point in Galicia, and the border between Atlantic Ocean and Cantabrian Sea.
  * Cape Ortegal, between Ortiguiera and Teixido's cliffs.
  * Cape Prior.
  * Santo Adrao Point, close to Malpica.
  * Cape Vilan.
  * Cape Touriñan, the most occidental point of Galicia.
  * Cape Finisterre, known by the Romans as the end of the world point.

Islands

Bertha Reynolds

For the rural doctor in Wisconsin, see Bertha E. Reynolds.

Bertha Capen Reynolds (December 11, 1885 – October 29, 1978)social worker who was influential in the creation of strength-based practice, radical social work and critical social work, among others.

Early life and education

Bertha Capen Reynolds born in Brockton, Massachusetts, on December 11, 1887 to Mary (Capen) Reynolds and Franklin Stewart Reynolds.Boston to work as a teacher.

Reynolds' aunt paid for her to attend Smith College, where she graduated in 1908 with a Bachelor of Social Work. She suffered from an unknown illness during this time. In 1912–1913, Reynolds enrolled in the Boston School for Social Workers (later known as the Simmons College School of Social Work.)

Career

After her graduation, she worked for a short time at the North End Health Clinic. In 1917 Smith College began running a psychiatric social work degree, and she enrolled.

1919 saw the publication of a monograph, The Selection of Foster Homes for Children, with Mary S. Doran. From 1919 until 1923, she worked as director of social services at Danvers State Hospital in Massachusetts. From 1923 until 1925, Reynolds worked in new clinics for behavioral training of pre-school children in the Division of Mental Hygiene in Boston.

In 1925, Reynolds returned to Smith, now serving as associate director of the Smith College School for Social Work, teaching courses in the summer term and supervising students' field placements during the rest of the year; conducted research and had clinical assignments at the Child Guidance Clinic in Philadelphia and at the Institute for Child Guidance and the Jewish Board of Guardians in New York. In 1935, her position at Smith changed, and she became the associate director in charge of advanced courses. This year, Reynolds established and taught the first advanced course, Plan D, for the training of supervisors and teachers of social work.

During this period she used Marxist analysis as an element of the course, and attempted to unionize college employees. This was not well received by the Dean. In 1937, Reynolds offered her resignation to Everett Kimball, director of the School for Social Work, due to their disagreement over the direction of the program, her political activities, and the termination of Plan D. Reynolds left Smith in 1938, after teaching the last group in the Plan D program.


Bertha Reynolds

Between 1939 and 1942, Reynolds was self-employed as a consultant in staff development for social work agencies.

Reynolds published her major work for social work educators, Learning and Teaching in the Practice of Social Work, describing the contributions of psychology and the social sciences to the problems of practice and teaching in social work in 1942.

Between 1943 and 1947, Reynolds was appointed by the United Seamen's Service to the Personal Service Department of the National Maritime Union, where she became case supervisor. She drew on this experience to write Social Work and Social Living, which was published in 1951.

In 1948, Reynolds retired to the family home in Stoughton, where she studied Marxist works, corresponded with friends and former students, had a small clinical practice, and worked as a volunteer on community projects, for the Methodist Church, and the Stoughton Historical Society.

In media

A docudrama based on her letters, performed by Margaret Draper was written and produced at Smith College for the Bertha Capen Reynolds Centennial Conference in June 1985.

Death

Bertha C. Reynolds died at home in Stoughton on October 29, 1978.

She is buried with her parents and siblings at the Avon Cemetery in Avon, Massachusetts (formerly the town of East Stoughton).

Legacy

A later biographer described her three guiding philosophies as Marxism, Christianity and Freudian/psychodynamic theories. This was not well received by many American social workers and for decades her writings were sidelined in favor of more psychoanalytic approaches.

Black and Blue Heart

Black and Blue Heart is a studio album by Australian singer–songwriter Russell Morris. It was released on 5 April 2019 by Liberation Records. Upon release Morris said "The band, the producers, the studio… it all fell into place beautifully but the songs came from where I came from. I went back to the well and I drank from the fountainhead, and this is the result."

The album was promoted by an Australian tour starting in Darwin on 12 April and concluding in Bentleigh East on 28 June 2019.

Reception

Zoë Radas from Stack Magazine said the album was produced by Bernard Fanning and Nick DiDia and called it "an unlikely partnership" but added "they have helped Morris craft perhaps his finest album. As producers, they're not afraid to allow the songs to breathe. Less is more on this record, where the songs slowly get under your skin." adding "Morris' voice sounds as fresh as when he was starting out, though seared with decades of wisdom."

China Today (CCTV)

China Today is CCTV-9's only news program that focuses on news issues and current affairs around China. The 30 minute program broadcasts at 2200 China Standard Time (UTC+8), or 1400 UTC everyday, and rebroadcasts twice at 0100 and 0700 UTC+8 the next morning, or 1700 and 2300 UTC.

The Sunday edition of China Today is called China This Week, which takes a look back at major issues happen around the country within the previous 6 days. All of China Today's programs are available on CCTV's English website.

From April 26, 2010, China Today was replaced by a new program China 24 since the CCTV-9 was changed to "CCTV News".

Overview

The main sources of China Today are news programs previously broadcast within the day in CCTV's News Channel and CCTV 4, the international service in Chinese. This is because all the news programs of CCTV have to share the same agenda.

CCTV's Chinese and English news services have very different writing and editing styles. Therefore, China Today's reporters usually use archive pictures, international news agencies and China's local televisions' news feeds to expand the stories with a style that is more fluent, professional and acceptable for western audience.

Unlikely other news production teams of CCTV-9, China Today is only in charge of one broadcasting in a day. This brings its reporters more time and energy to make their stories more interesting and of a better quality.

Staff

Zhang Ling is the producer and regular presenter of the show, James Chau, Yu Ze, Vimbayi Kajese, Li Dongning, Wei Sue Loke and some other hosts or hostesses on CCTV International (CCTV-9) also present the show, with Wang Xiqing, Yuan xiaoyuan, Ren Ting directing. Yuan qifei, Shen Le, Qian Fang report, and the show is edited by Sun Li and Niu Bing. Wang Dong is responsible for special visual effects needed in some of the reports.

Visual design

The current opening and headline sequences of China Today are designed by Fox News of the United States. The logo music is also a re-composed version with an emphasis on the erhu, a Chinese traditional musical instrument.

Bydgoszcz events

March 20–21, 1981, issue of Wieczór Wrocławia (The Wrocław Evening). Blank spaces remain after the government censor has pulled articles from page 1 (right, "What happened at Bydgoszcz?") and from the last page (left, "Country-wide strike alert"), leaving only their headlines. The printers—Solidarity-trade-union members—decided to run the newspaper as it was, with blank spaces intact to avoid concealing the censorship. The bottom of page 1 of this master copy bears the hand-written Solidarity confirmation of that decision.

The Bydgoszcz events (Polish: wypadki bydgoskie) – also referred to as the Bydgoszcz crisis (kryzys bydgoski), or the Bydgoszcz provocation (prowokacja bydgoska) – were a series of events in Poland culminating in the beatings of delegates of the Solidarity movement by the forces called upon by the authorities during the session of the voivodship National Council on 19 March 1981, which was to discuss the running strike in Bydgoszcz.

It was a turning point in the early history of Solidarity. Following the registration of Solidarity by the authorities of Poland in 1980, the farmers were also pushing for creation of a separate trade union, independent from the official system of power. The NSZZ RI Solidarność (Independent Self-Governing Trade Union of Individual Farmers Solidarity, also called Rural Solidarity) was created, but not legalized by the authorities. Because of that, on 16 March 1981 in Bydgoszcz a strike was proclaimed.

This forced the authorities to finally hold the meeting of the Voivodeship National Council, a governing body of the Bydgoszcz Voivodeship. The meeting was attended by several members of Solidarity, among them Jan Rulewski, Mariusz Łabentowicz and Roman Bartoszcze, who were to explain the reasons for the strike. However, the Council decided not to discuss the issue of Rural Solidarity, which made the members of Solidarity protest and they refused to leave the session. The authorities responded by calling in the Citizen's Militia and the ZOMO, who entered the seat of the Council and brutally beat and arrested the delegates of Solidarity, leaving in their wake torn banners, thrown papers, chairs and furniture.


Bydgoszcz events

Even though the authorities had a monopoly on media, the underground press reported the Bydgoszcz events, and the matter became widely publicised in a matter of days. On 24 March, Solidarity decided to go on a nationwide strike to protest the violence against the delegates. The authorities conceded and on 25 March the deputy prime minister Mieczysław F. Rakowski started a conference with the leaders of the Solidarity. This led to the signing of the so-called "Warsaw accord" (porozumienie warszawskie) on 30 March 1981. According to the agreement, Solidarity was allowed to report the Bydgoszcz events on public television (the first such independent news behind the Iron Curtain since the 1940s) and the government pledged to continue the talks on registration of a trade union of farmers.

The events were extensively covered by the publication project "Kryzys Bydgoski 1981", a three-volume edition: a monograph with a DVD with film "14 dni. Prowokacja bydgoska", a collection of documents, and a collection of witness testimonies.
