Women's suffrage in Colombia

Women's suffrage in Colombia was introduced in 1954.Gustavo Rojas Pinilla.

History

The Constitution of the Province of Velez explicitly granted women suffrage in 1853, but the right was rescinded when the Velez Constitution was abolished in 1855.

When a female lawyer was rejected from her quest to become a judge in 1944, women organized in the Liberal Union Femenina de Colombia (UFC) in 1944 and the Socialist Aliazna Femenina in 1945 to demand women's suffrage. In the public debate, the matter was long a question of only suffrage and not the right to be elected. The Liberal and Socialist party supported the reform. The conservatives initially did not, however the Catholic church came to support it after the Pope had claimed that women, whom he trusted to be conservative, would be a good force in the fight against Communism if granted suffrage.


Dopo (band)

Dopo was a Portuguese psych/freak folk band formed in late 2004 around Oporto, Portugal.

Dopo began to record improvisations using many instruments, including toys, singing bowl and organs.

The first result of the many homemade recordings they have made is "Last Blues, To Be Read Someday", an EP released in December 2005 on Portuguese netlabel test tube.

January 2007 saw them releasing another record, "For the Entrance of the Sun", this time a full length, again on test tube and on CD-R label Lovers&Lollypops.

"Crossing Birds" album (November 2007) was released on Foxglove.

Press quotes

"There's something afoot in the sunkissed land of Portugal these days, but it mostly seems to be skimming under the radar. In a country best known for exporting wine and Cristiano Ronaldo, there's also a great deal of fantastic music being made on the edge of the Iberian peninsula. (...) I want to take a brief moment to highlight the band who I think is the best of the bunch. And with that, I give you Dopo". - Brad Rose, Foxy Digitalis, April 2007

"Assim como a nova improvisação “near silence” ganhou mais um centro nevrálgico em Portugal com músicos ou não-músicos como Ernesto Rodrigues, Carlos Santos, José Oliveira e Pedro Chambel, o rock neo-psicadélico, rock em reconciliação consigo mesmo (o que é verdade até nas situações em que a condição rock parece desaparecer), tem mais um nome a acrescentar a um painel onde já constam Loosers, Caveira e Frango, e esse nome é Dopo. É bom fixá-lo de uma vez por todas..." - Rui Eduardo Paes / Janeiro, 2007

"Here are eight tracks of magical, trance-inducing music, less composition than rituals, and each one of them keeps a meditative state at bay by summoning the power of that electrical charge." - Marc Weidenbaum / Janeiro, 2007


Dopo (band)

“Dopo are reminiscent of John Fahey and Boxhead Ensemble at their most blissfully meandering” - Marc Weidenbaum, Disquiet / December 23, 2005

“Je suis réellement retombé à la fin des années 60, à l'époque où Can expérimentait, où Amon Düül ne s'était pas encore démultiplié” - LaFresto / December 12, 2005

“Dopo is an oblique suggestion of stratospheric rock, an alien whisper, an Indian mantra, a bad rehearsed prayer, children playing in the garden, green tea and chocolate cookies at midnight. Dopo is love” - Nuno Catarino, A Forma do Jazz / December 14, 2005

“One of the most interesting and original of the unclassifiable Portuguese experimentalism (…). There is something very attractive in this imperfect and undone scratch that is very near to a state that invites us to shared ascesis” - Eduardo Chagas, Jazz e Arredores / January 28, 2006

Slíghe Chualann

Slíghe Chualann (Irish for 'Highway of Cualu'; modern spelling Slí Chualann) was a road in Early Christian Ireland running south across Áth Cliath ("the Ford of Hurdles"; now Dublin city) entering the territory of Cualu or Cuala before going west of the Wicklow Mountains. The ancient name for Dublin was 'Baile Atha Cliath', the 'Ath' means "ford river crossing", while 'Cliath' means wattled, lattice framed, hurdle. It was one of the five great roads of Ireland; in legend these converged at Tara, inauguration site of the High King of Ireland, but in fact the Slíghe Chualann and three others met at Dublin.

While George Petrie in 1839 suggested that Slíghe Chualann went from Tara to Dublin via an inland route through Ratoath, and then along the coast to Bray, County Wicklow,chariots and cited sources for a coastal route through Swords, County Dublin as far as the Liffey.Norman Irish sources to Bóthar Chualann ["Road of Cualu"].Oldbawn and ran along the west side of the Wicklow Mountains to Baltinglass and Old Leighlinbridge, then down the River Barrow by Old Ross towards Waterford.

The Wicklow Way, a long-distance trail through County Wicklow inaugurated in 1980, follows much of the same route and has the Irish name Slí Chualann Nua (Irish for 'New Slíghe Chualann').

The Falling Man (Rodin)

The Falling Man (in French: L'Homme qui tombe) is a sculpture by French artist Auguste Rodin modeled in 1882The Gates of Hell.

Gates of Hell

This figure represents the cumulative human forces, cast upon the eternal emptiness of Hell.The Gates of Hell, the sculpture appears in three different places: at the top of the left door, at the top of the right pilaster— the one holding Crouching Woman as part of I am beautiful— and as the central piece of Avarice at the bottom of the Gates. Judging by the position of the first figure, some authors have suggested that Rodin suspected his commission would be canceled

Even though this figure appears in different directions in The Gates, its muscles stay the same; which hints at Rodin's idea of taking an artistic license regarding gravity. modernist movement, which favors expression over verisimilitude.

Sole Power

Sole Power (foaled 18 March 2007) is a British-bred, Irish-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. A specialist sprinter, he won twelve of his sixty-five races and competed in five different countries in a nine-year racing career. He is unique in being a dual winner of both the King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Nunthorpe Stakes at York. His racing style is distinctive: he is usually restrained by his jockey for most of the race before producing a single burst of acceleration in the closing stages.

He won one minor race as a two-year-old but after winning on his debut as a three-year-old he was unplaced in his next four races before recording a 100/1 upset victory in the 2010 Nunthorpe Stakes. He did not race again that year, but returned as a four-year-old to win the Temple Stakes and finish third in the Prix de l'Abbaye. In 2012 he recorded his only success in the Listed Scarbrough Stakes but was placed in the Al Quoz Sprint, Temple Stakes and King's Stand Stakes.

As a six-year-old in 2013, the gelding won the Palace House Stakes and the King's Stand Stakes, finished third in the Nunthorpe and second to the Japanese horse Lord Kanaloa in the Hong Kong Sprint. In 2014 Sole Power was unbeaten in his first three starts, recording repeat wins in the Palace House Stakes, King's Stand Stakes and Nunthorpe Stakes. At the end of 2014 he was named Cartier Champion Sprinter and Irish Horse of the Year.

Background

Sole Power is a smallblaze bred in England by G. Russell. He was sired by Kyllachy, a top-class sprinter who won the Nunthorpe Stakes in 2002. At stud Kyllachy has sired many successful horses including Twilight Son, the Dubai Golden Shaheen winner Krypton Factor and the Chairman's Sprint Prize winner Dim Sum.Sussex Stakes winner Distant View.

In August 2008 the yearling colt was consigned by the Wiltshire-basedPower bookmaking family) and was sent into training with Lynam at Dunshaughlin, County Meath.

Racing career

2009: two-year-old season

Sole Power ran six times as a juvenile in 2009, ridden on each occasion by Pat Smullen. After finishing third in a maiden race at the Curragh Racecourse on his debut in June he finished second in a Listed Race at the same course a month later. He was then sent to York Racecourse in England, where he finished third in a valuable "sales race" restricted to horses who had been sold at Doncaster. In Autumn he finished unplaced in the Group Three Cornwallis Stakes at Ascot Racecourse before returning to Ireland for two races on the synthetic track at Dundalk Racecourse in November. He recorded his first success when winning a fourteen-runner maiden race at odds of 4/7,gelded on the advice of his trainer.

2010: three-year-old season

Sole Power began his three-year-old season by carrying 124 pounds to victory against older horses in a five furlong handicap race at Dundalk in April in a track record time of 57.46 seconds.Equiano in the Palace House Stakes at Newmarket, fifth in a Listed race at Naas, sixth in the Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh, and fifth in the Listed Abergwaun Stakes at Tipperary. On 20 August he was one of twelve sprinters to contest the Nunthorpe Stakes over five furlongs at York. Ridden by Wayne Lordan, he was given little chance and started at odds of 100/1. Lordan restrained the horse in the early stages before making headway in the last quarter mile. He took the lead 75 yards from the finish and won by one and a quarter lengths from the 6/4 favourite Starspangledbanner with another 100/1 outsider, Piccadilly Lily in third.

Sole Power was aimed at the Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp Racecourse in October, but was withdrawn from the race on account of the soft ground and did not race again in 2010. Lynam explained: "I'm disappointed to have to take him out, but it was not unexpected. There was a 50-50 chance of a good-ground Abbaye and it obviously wasn't our year. He's coming home from England tonight and will go on his holidays. Maybe he'll get to Longchamp next year."

2011: four-year-old season


Sole Power

2011: four-year-old season

On his first appearance since his Nunthorpe win, Sole Power was sent to the United Arab Emirates in March 2010 where he finished fourteenth of the sixteen runners behind the South African gelding J J the Jet Plane in the Al Quoz Sprint at Meydan Racecourse. In April he dead-heated for third place in the Palace House Stakes and then travelled to Haydock Park Racecourse for the Temple Stakes three weeks later. The race attracted a great deal of attention as it featured the British debut of the Hungarian sprinter Overdose.Kingsgate Native to win by three quarters of a length, with Overdose unplaced.

Sole Power failed to win in six subsequent races in 2011. He finished unplaced in his first attempt at the King's Stand Stakes, fifth when favourite for the Abergwaun Stakes, second in the Flying Five at the Curragh and twelfth when attempting six furlongs in the Haydock Sprint Cup. His best effort came in the Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp in October. Latham found himself trapped on the inside and had to switch sharply to the right to obtain a clear run. Sole Power finished strongly and looked unlucky to be beaten in a three-way photo-finish by the British horses Tangerine Trees and Secret Asset.Hong Kong Sprint at Sha Tin Racecourse where he finished ninth of the fourteen runners behind Lucky Nine.

2012: five-year-old season

As in 2012, Sole Power began his season at Meydan, but on this occasion he contested a prep race before tackling the Al Quoz Sprint, finishing second to the Irish-trained mare Invincible Ash in the Meydan Sprint on 10 March. Three weeks later he started 11/2 favourite for the Al Quoz sprint in which he finished second to the Australian mare Ortensia. On his return to Europe he finished second for the third time in succession when he was runner up to Bated Breath in the Temple Stakes after having to be repeatedly switched to obtain a clear run.


Sole Power

In June he was again sent to Royal Ascot for the King's Stand Stakes in which he finished third of the twenty-two runners behind the Hong Kong-trained gelding Little Bridge. In August he ran in his second Nunthorpe Stakes, but after making good progress approaching the final quarter mile he faded in the closing stages to finish seventh behind Ortensia. After losing eleven races in succession, Sole Power was dropped in class for the Listed Scarbrough Stakes at Doncaster Racecourse in September. Ridden by Johnny Murtagh he started the 5/2 favourite and won "very readily" from eleven opponents.

2013: six-year-old season

Sole Power returned to Meydan in early 2013 where he finished second to the South African sprinter Shea Shea in the Meydan Sprint and fourth to the same horse in the Al Quoz Sprint. On his return to Europe the gelding ran for the third time in the Palace House Stakes at Newmarket. Ridden by Murtagh, he was restrained in the early stages before taking the lead inside the final furlong to win by a length from Kingsgate Native, with Tangerine Trees in third.Reckless Abandon.

On 18 June, Sole Power started at odds of 8/1 for the King's Stand Stakes in a field which included Shea Shea, Kingsgate Native, Reckless Abandon and Swiss Spirit as well as the Newmarket Handicap winner Shamexpress from Australia.YouTube which purported to show Murtagh passing an object to the trainer's wife Sarah Lynam, in the unsaddling enclosure. Comments posted online suggested that the object might have been an electrical "buzzer", a device used to shock a horse into running more quickly.British Horseracing Authority, both Murtagh and Lynam were exonerated of any wrongdoing.


Sole Power

In July, Sole Power had his first outing over six furlongs since 2011 when he started at odds of 15/2 for the July Cup at Newmarket. He was drawn on the far left of the eleven runner field and when the starting stalls opened Murtagh held the horse back, before tracking sharply to the right to race along the rails. He made progress approaching the final furlong, but never reached the leaders and finished fifth behind Lethal Force, Society Rock, Slade Power and Shea Shea. Sole Power returned to five furlongs for his third attempt at the Nunthorpe Stakes in August and started the 4/1 second favourite in a field of seventeen. He was restrained at the rear of the field before finishing strongly to take third place, beaten half a length and a nose by the 40/1 outsider Jwala and Shea Shea. After the race Lynam commented "The ground beat him but we kind of knew beforehand it would. It has happened the last few times at York, we just haven't had fast ground here for a few years. He ran well and I am proud of him."

Sole Power was campaigned internationally in the autumn. On 6 October he ran for the third time in the Prix de l'Abbaye and started at odds of 9/1 in a field of 20 runners. He made some progress in the second half of the race but never reached the leaders finishing sixth behind Maarek, another Irish-trained six-year-old. Sole Power ended his season in the Hong Kong Sprint on 8 December. He was held up in the early stages before making steady progress in the straight to finish second, five lengths behind the Japanese champion Lord Kanaloa.

2014: seven-year-old season

For the fourth time, Sole Power was sent to Dubai in spring to race at Meydan, but had little success, finishing fourth to Shea Shea in the Meydan Sprint and seventh behind the Hong Kong-trained Amber Sky in the Al Quoz Sprint. On 3 May started 9/4 favourite as he attempted to repeat his 2013 success in the Palace House Stakes. Ridden by Ryan Moore, he had trouble obtaining a clear run approaching the final furlong but when switched right he accelerated to take the lead fifty yards from the finish and won by half a length from Kingsgate Native.


Sole Power

When the gelding returned to Royal Ascot on 17 June he started 5/1 third favourite for the King's Stand Stakes, with the three-year-old Hot Streak, winner of the Temple Stakes, heading the betting from Shea Shea. Richard Hughes became the eighth jockey to partner Sole Power, but the tactics were familiar as the horse was held up before being switched to the outside for a late challenge. The seven-year-old quickened well, took the lead 75 yards from the finish and won by one and a quarter lengths from the 50/1 outsider Stepper Point, with Hot Streak a neck away in third. He became the first horse to win consecutive runnings of the race since Gold Bridge in 1934.ring worm or dermatitis".

On 22 August, Sole Power contested the Nunthorpe Stakes for the fourth time in five years and started the 11/4 favourite in a field of thirteen runners. Shea Shea, Stepper Point and Hot Streak where again among his opponents, along with the King George Stakes winners Moviesta and Take Cover, the Middle Park Stakes winner Astaire and the leading French sprinter Rangali (Prix du Gros Chêne). Hughes employed the usual tactics, but when he attempted to challenge on the stands side (the right side from the jockeys' viewpoint) he found his path blocked and had to switch sharply to the left. Now racing towards the centre of the course, Sole Power again looked likely to be deprived of a clear run in the last hundred yards but squeezed through a gap and gained the advantage in the final strides to win by half a length from Stepper Point. Hughes commented "he's brilliant, he's made for me. When I was 14 or 15 I dreamed of riding horses like this and doing it like that". Explaining the horse's limited 2014 campaign up to that point, Lynam said "we couldn’t train him because of his skin problem, so to come back and do that means he's a very special horse. He's the horse of a lifetime and there's something special about him."


Sole Power

On 5 October, Sole Power made his fourth attempt to win the Prix de l'Abbaye and started favourite against seventeen opponents. He travelled well but Hughes was unable to obtain a clear run and finished unplaced behind the British gelding Move In Time. He ended his season with another attempt at the Hong Kong Sprint but never looked likely to win and finished ninth of the fifteen runners behind the locally trained Aerovelocity who won by a neck from Peniaphobia.

2015: eight-year-old season

For the fifth time, Sole Power was sent to Dubai in early spring. He started favourite for the Meydan Sprint but was unable to recover after failing to obtain a clear run in the straight and finished twelfth behind Sir Maximilian. On 28 March Sole Power made his fifth bid to win the Al Quoz Sprint for which his opponents included Amber Sky, Peniaphobia and Sir Maximilian, as well as Bundle of Joy from Hong Kong, Green Mask from the United States, Hototo from Bahrain, Caspar Netscher (Mill Reef Stakes, German 2,000 Guineas, Nearctic Stakes) and Stepper Point (Flying Five) from England and Farmah (Premio Carlo e Francesco Aloisi) from France. Sole Power started slowly but produced a strong late run to take the lead inside the final furlong and won by half a length from Peniaphobia, with Green Mask taking third ahead of Amber Sky.Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh on 23 May.

At Royal Ascot, Sole Power attempted to win a third consecutive King's Stand Stakes. He started the 5/2 favourite but despite making progress in the last quarter mile he finished fifth of the eighteen runners behind Goldream. He went on to finish fourth behind Muhaarar in the July Cup and fourth again behind the filly Mecca's Angel in the Nunthorpe Stakes. On 13 September he was partnered by Chris Hayes in the Flying Five at the Curragh and started the 5/1 co-favourite alongside Moviesta and Maarek. He produced his customary late run to take the lead inside the final furlong and held off the late challenge of Maarek to win by a head.


Sole Power

Sole Power was retired in March 2017 at the age of ten. Lynam said "He was a great horse, but time waits for no man. I was a nobody until he came around and he's taken me to places I never felt were possible to go to.

Assessment and honours

In the 2010 edition on the World's Best Racehorse Rankings Sole Power was given a rating of 117 making him the 126th best racehorse in the world and the equal-best three-year-old sprinter, alongside Smiling Tiger, Wanted and Let Me Fight.

In November 2014 Sole Power was named Champion Sprinter at the Cartier Racing Awards, beating his stablemate Slade Power.

Électricité du Liban

EDL corporate headquarters, Beirut, before destruction in 2020

Électricité du Liban (Electricity of Lebanon; EDL) is a public industrial and commercial establishment in Lebanon which controls 90% of the country's electricity production, transmission and distribution activities.

History

Ottoman Gas Company of Beirut (1908)

In 1908, the Société Ottomane du Gaz de Beyrouth distributed electricity in the city of Beirut, replaced by the Société d'Électricité de Beyrouth in 1923, a company incorporated under French law. Before 1939, the company operated a 4,500 kW diesel power plant and a 6,400 kW hydraulic plant. In March 1954, the Lebanese State bought the Beirut Electricity Company, which became the Electricity Office. The Zouk power station went into production in 1956.

At the end of the Second World War, Lebanon produced 80 MW in 1948, 280 MW in 1957, and 692 MW in 1964. Electricity was produced by private and disparate production units. The Qaraoun dam was commissioned in 1961.

Office of Electricity of Lebanon (1964)

The Office of Electricity of Lebanon (Électricité du Liban, EDL) was created in July 1964, and was granted a monopoly of the production, transport and distribution of electricity in Lebanon. Until the 1975-1990 Lebanese Civil War, the EDL provided normal distribution, and even distributed electricity to Syria. Until the early 1980s, including the first years of the conflict, the EDL remained profitable and self-financed its development projects.

Since 1990s

In the 1990s the management of the company began to crumble, to the point of getting rid of its accounting department in 2001. When the conflicts emerged, the infrastructure was not upgraded. In 1975 EDL had 5,000 employees, which was reduced to 2,500 by 2009. The 2006 Israeli-Lebanese conflict affected EDL production plants. A daily 3-hour load shedding was implemented. In response to that, small companies have emerged, providing households with expensive privately generated electricity during the daily rationing period.


Électricité du Liban

In June 2010, the Minister of Energy Gebran Bassil announced that from 2014-2015 load shedding will cease by increasing production capacity from 1,685 MW in 2011 to 5,000 MW in 2015. In 2020, however, the reforms were still blocked, and the country's production capacity did not exceed 3,000 MW.

In July 2020, due to the country's severe economic crisis resulting in Central Bank's failure to pay fuel shipments, EDL was forced to reduce production drastically. A harsh rationing schedule was defined, leaving the country with only a few hours of centrally produced electricity per day.

On 4 August 2020, following a huge double explosion at the port of Beirut, EDL's headquarters located near the port was completely destroyed, as well as the control center of the national grid it housed. The explosion caused the death of several people inside the building. Control of the national network was transferred to Bsalim and temporarily carried out manually.

In May 2021, Turkish Karpowership, which provided Lebanon with 370 megawatts (MW) at a cost of $850 million per year, ceased supplying electricity due to payment arrears and legal threats to its two barges, MV Karadeniz Powership Fatmagül Sultan and MV Karadeniz Powership Orhan Bey.

Beginning June 2021, EDL was again forced to cut off production, averaging electricity supply to less than 4 daily hours. EDL warned several times that total backout was imminent.

There was a power blackout throughout Lebanon in October 2021 after Lebanon’s two largest power stations—the Zahrani and the Deir Ammar power stations—were shut down due to fuel shortages, leaving Lebanon with no centrally generated electricity, and not enough fuel for private electricity generators.

Despite promises that centrally generated electricity supply will reach 12 daily hours "soon", households are not getting more than a few hours of it every day (currently four hours a day, in Beirut, as at November 27, 2021).

Privatisation


Électricité du Liban

Privatisation

Electricity reform continues to be a major political issue in Lebanon. In 2002, international donors at the Paris II conference pledged to provide finance to the electricity sector in Lebanon on condition of structural reforms. A law providing for the privatisation of the electricity sector was adopted in 2002, at the initiative of the Hariri government. However, the reforms were never implemented.

In 2010, Minister of Energy Gebran Bassil launched another reform plan focusing on increasing production capacity, and providing for delegating collection and distribution to the private sector, which was done in 2012. The plan provoked daily protests by employees in the sector, 70% of whom (i.e. 2,000 workers) had been made redundant. Controversies over the financing of new investments, the technological options to be favored, the choice of companies, the acceptance of works, the partial privatization of production had considerably delayed the implementation of the plan and power cuts continued.

Dophla evelina, the red-spot duke,species of brush-footed butterfly found in Cambodia and SouthSoutheast Asia (Sri Lanka, Yunnan and India to the Philippines and Sulawesi). Many subspecies are accepted. The species was first described by Caspar Stoll in 1790.

Description

For a key to the terms used, see Glossary of entomology terms.

Male upperside somewhat dark metallic green. Forewing: cell with two median sinuous short black transverse lines with a crimson spot between them, two similar lines beyond, one before, one after apex of cell; followed by a dark irregular transverse shading between the veins; apex of wing broadly and termen narrowly edged with an obscure dark shading. Hindwing with a slender black loop in cell; very obscure discal and sub terminal dark macular bands and the anterior third of the wing purplish.

Underside sap green, largely suffused with plumbeous grey. Forewing has the transverse black slender lines and crimson spot as on the upperside; a very obscure subterminal series of dark spots parallel to terminal margin. Hindwing has three crimson spots encircled by slender black loops near base, and a very obscure subterminal series of dark spots in continuation of that on the forewing, but obsolescent posteriorly. Antennae brown; head with a crimson streak behind the eyes; thorax and abdomen greenish brown, beneath greyish.

Female very similar, with precisely similar markings above and below, but the ground colour on upperside paler and especially pale on the terminal halves of the wings, in contrast with the darker basal portions.

D. e. laudabilis

Subspecies laudabilis C. Swinhoe: The southern Indian continental representative of D. evelina seems to form a very distinct race. The male differs in the costa of the forewing on the upperside beyond the dark obscure discal band being broadly greyish white with a silvery lustre up to a little distance before the apex of the wing; this colour spreads downwards diffusely, but does not extend below vein 6. In the female there is a similar patch, very wide on the costa, extending as a broad transverse band with outer diffuse and inner sinuous margin right across the wing to vein 1; on the hindwing it is not represented by a very much narrower transverse diffuse band or irroration of grey scales. Underside male and female, as in the typical form, but more densely suffused with plumbeous grey. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen as in the typical form.

Life history

Larva: The larva of D. e. laudabilis feeds on Diospyros candolleana (Ebenaceae), and is green with a vinaceous (red-wine color) dorsal patch on each segment, enclosing a whitish dark-centred eyespot. These patches vary in size, those on the fourth, seventh and tenth segments being usually the largest, and those on the fifth and sixth small or obsolete.

Pupa: "Green, with silver spots and a bright line of the same colour along the sides of the dorsal triangle."

At least on Borneo but probably elsewhere too, adults are frequently seen drinking juices from old fruits. They indiscriminately seek out such sources of nutrition, whether these are in the shade of the forest or in drier and sunnier open areas.

Double scaling limit

In theoretical physics, a double scaling limit is a limit in which the coupling constant is sent to zero while another quantity is sent to zero or infinity at the same moment.

The adjective "double" is a kind of misnomer because the procedure represents an ordinary scaling. However, the adjective is meant to emphasize that two parameters are simultaneously approaching singular values.

The double scaling limit is often applied to matrix models, string theory, and other theories to obtain their simplified versions.

Sole trader insolvency

According to the Office for National Statistics, sole proprietors represented 23.8% of all UK enterprise in 2010.sole traders were operating via the PAYE or VAT system alone.

Sole trader insolvency occurs when the business cannot meet financial obligations. It may be that bills cannot be paid on time, leading to debts which eventually attract legal action by creditors. Insolvency does not automatically equate to bankruptcy;Insolvency Act 1986.Business Link there are a number of factors that can lead to sole trader insolvency. These can include late invoicing for goods or services, accepting orders that exceed its financial capacity to deliver, failure to recover debts, excess inventory and unsuitable credit arrangements and often personal drawings taken in excess of profit.

UK Insolvency statistics

During 2010, the recorded number of individual insolvencies in England and Wales was 135,089 according to the UK Government’s Insolvency Service (including provisional figures from the final quarter). The figures had fallen by 13.6% during the final quarter compared to the same quarter during 2009. 12,049 individuals declared formal bankruptcy, a drop of almost a third (29.2%) on the previous year. 12,058 entered formal Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs), representing an annual drop of 5.4%.

Insolvency Act 1986

This legislation provides the legal framework for two key formal insolvency solutions relevant to sole traders: namely bankruptcy and Individual Voluntary Arrangements. It also makes provision for company insolvency

Bankruptcy laws vary somewhat between Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England. In England, Wales & Northern Ireland, the applicable law is the Insolvency Act 1986.


Sole trader insolvency

Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs) operate in England, Wales & Northern Ireland as a contractual agreement between the insolvent individual and the creditors they owe money to. IVAs are facilitated by an Insolvency Practitioner and are an agreement that the individual will repay agreed instalments over a fixed period of time.Protected Trust Deed serves a similar purpose.

Insolvency Act 2000

This act was introduced in two stages: 2 April 2001 and 1 January 2003. It made provision for a new moratorium method to address financial difficulties faced by small companies. Relevant to sole traders, it also somewhat amended Individual Voluntary Arrangements procedures.

Key amendments for sole traders

The Insolvency Act 2000 somewhat modified procedures for Individual Voluntary Arrangements. Previously, under the Insolvency Act 1986 an individual had to initially apply to the court for an interim order. This order would then be followed by the next legal procedures towards arranging the IVA itself. The Insolvency Act 2000 removed the need to apply for an interim order, except where a petition for the individual’s bankruptcy already applied.

There were also changes aiming to fulfil the overall purpose of the IVA, namely coming to an acceptable agreement between the individual and those they owed money to. Two cases were heard in the High Court of circumstances where this interim order had been granted but landlords were nonetheless able to lawfully gain the right of peaceable re-entry / seizing of goods in respect of rent arrears. The Insolvency Act 2000 accordingly introduced amendments aiming to prevent this type of intervention and accordingly promote the negotiation phase instead.

Insolvency options for sole traders

Voluntary arrangements

It may be possible to continue to trade by negotiating with creditors to gain more flexible payment arrangements.IVA proposal.

Bankruptcy

An individual may voluntarily petition the local Court with bankruptcy jurisdiction for a Bankruptcy Order (BO)to be made, usually by a District Judge. The petition will require a supporting statement of affairs. On the making of the BO, the Court notifies the Official Receiver (OR) and may in certain cases also appoint an Insolvency Practitioner. The OR has a dual function, to investigate the causes of financial failure and report any misconduct and to act as Trustee if no trustee is appointed by the Court.

2009–10 Libyan Premier League

The 2009–10 Libyan Premier League (known as the Libyana Premier League for sponsorship reasons) is the 43rd edition of the competition since its establishment in 1963. A total of 14 clubs contested the league, with Ittihad Tripoli the defending champions.

This has been reduced from the system of 16 teams that had been in place since the 2007–08 season. The season was scheduled to begin on 1 October 2009,

The fixture list was released on 4 September 2009.

The league paused for its mid-season break on 13 January 2010 and continued on 28 January 2010.

There was another break after Round 16 (19 February – 22 March), due to the national team's fixtures, and CAF competition. Next season, the league will be reduced again and this time to 12 teams.

Summary

Ittihad secured their 16th top flight title with three games to spare after a 2–0 home win over Najma on 18 May 2010. This was their sixth league title in succession and their eighth in the last nine seasons.

Ahly Tripoli were expelled from the league and had their record for the second half of the season expunged on 17 May 2010. Having failed to show for two successive matches in protest at unfair treatment spanning a number of years from the Libyan Football Federation, which was sparked by their 1–2 home defeat to bitter rivals Ittihad, they vowed not to compete in competitions run by the LFF. As a result, they were relegated to the Libyan Second Division, meaning each side would now play only 25 games. Tahaddy became the second side to be relegated on 22 May, after Shat, Olomby, Sweahly and Najma all won their respective matches on that day. Due to their inferior head-to-head record, even a victory against Shat on the final day would not have seen them avoid the drop. Their relegation was confirmed after their 3–1 win over Hilal was awarded 2–0 to Hilal after it was discovered Tahaddy had played a suspended player.


2009–10 Libyan Premier League

In one of the tightest relegation battles in recent history, Sweahly, Olomby, Shat and Najma all started the final round of fixtures within two points of each other, and all facing the danger of the drop. Sweahly hosted Ittihad, Shat were at home to already relegated Tahaddy, Najma travelled to Tersanah, who had secured their safety the previous week, and Olomby faced Nasr at Zaawia Stadium. Olomby went behind early on to Salem al Rewani's spot kick, before equalising on 31 minutes through Aymen Rhifi and Najma took the lead on the half-hour through Chakib Lachkhem's penalty. Sweahly went in front against a much weakened Ittihad side through ex-Ittihad defender Keba Paul Koulibaly's penalty on 43 minutes. At the break, it was Olomby who would be relegated. Shat scored two goals in the first two minutes of the second period against Tahaddy, and added a further two goals for a comfortable 4–0 victory. Najma held on against a lacklustre Tersanah side, meaning they needed Nasr to hold Olomby to face a relegation playoff. Sweahly faced a scare when Saami al Ghoula equalised on 72 minutes, but Tunisian forward Jemail Khemir put them back in front three minutes later, ensuring their survival. With time running out, Rhifi netted on 82 minutes to send the Second Division champions down. Olomby now face a two-legged playoff against Wahda for a place in next season's Premier League.

Teams


2009–10 Libyan Premier League

Teams

As the league reduced in size from 16 to 14 teams, four teams were relegated from last season's competition. These four teams were Aman al Aam, Wefaq Sabratha, Jazeera and Wahda Tripoli. Newly promoted Aman al Aam lasted just one season, though a spirited fightback towards the end of the season meant that their fate was sealed only on the final day, when Hilal got the point they needed to survive. Wefaq Sabratha, another of the newly promoted clubs, were relegated despite a decent start to season. However, a 15-game winless run left them languishing in the relegation zone, and they failed to recover. Jazeera ended their two-year stint in the top flight with a poor showing, losing 20 of their 30 games, and despite a decent run of form towards the back end of the season, it was too little too late. Wahda were rooted to the bottom of the table for the whole season, and did not win a game until a 2–1 away victory at Al Shat in mid-May. Their return of 11 points from 30 games one of the worst in Libyan history.

Only two clubs were promoted from the Libyan Second Division; Najma finished as champions (see Libyan Second Division 2008-09 - Championship Stage), while Tahaddy secured their return to the top flight after a one-year absence.

Czechoslovak blue booklet cover from 1992

The Blue booklet (Czech: Modrá knížka, officially Průkaz o neschopnosti k vojenské činné službě (Document of proof of incapacity for military service) or formerly Průkaz o osvobození od vojenské povinnosti (Document of proof of exemption from military service) was a certificate of exemption from military service in Czechoslovakia and later in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Compulsory military service had existed throughout the unified nation's history and was only abolished in 2004 in the Czech Republicbasic military service nor included in the reserve.

Application process

Applications for a blue booklet had to be reviewed by the military administration's conscription board, usually on the basis of opinions from specialists. The usual procedure was that the applicant filled in a detailed questionnaire about his health condition and had it confirmed by his family doctor, who sent him for the relevant examinations according to the content of the questionnaire and the applicant's medical history. The applicant then submitted all pertinent documents to the conscription board for approval.

Reasons for exemption

Some common reasons for a person of eligible age to be exempted from military service included missing a limb, paralysis or immobility, lack of eyesight, deafness, and mental illness. In practice, allergies, asthma, spinal conditions, eye defects, or high blood pressure were the most common reasons for conscripts to receive blue booklets around the year 2000.

In addition, people opposed to the armed services or combat, known as conscientious objectors, also tried to obtain blue booklets.

Williamson amplifier

The Williamson amplifier is a four-stage, push-pull, Class A triode-output valve audio power amplifier designed by D. T. N. Williamson during World War II. The original circuit, published in 1947 and addressed to the worldwide do it yourself community, set the standard of high fidelity sound reproduction and served as a benchmark or reference amplifier design throughout the 1950s. The original circuit was copied by hundreds of thousands amateurs worldwide.

The Williamson circuit was based on the 1934 Wireless World Quality Amplifier by Walter Cocking, with an additional error amplifier stage and a global negative feedback loop. Deep feedback, triode-connected KT66 power tetrodes, conservative choice of standing currents, and the use of wide-bandwidth output transformer all contributed to the performance of the Williamson. It had a modest output power rating of 15 Wattsharmonic distortion and intermodulation, flat frequency response throughout the audible frequency range, and effective damping of loudspeaker resonances. The 0.1% distortion figure of the Williamson amplifier became the criterion for high fidelity performance

The Williamson amplifier was sensitive to selection and matching of passive components and valves, and prone to unwanted oscillations at infrasonic and ultrasonic frequencies. Enclosing four valve stages and an output transformer in a negative feedback loop was a severe test of design, resulting in a very narrow phase margin or, quite often, no margin at all. Attempts to improve stability of the Williamson could not fix this fundamental flaw. For this reason, and due to high costs of required quality components, manufacturers soon abandoned the Williamson circuit in favour of inherently more stable, cheaper and efficient three-stage, ultralinear or pentode-output designs.

Background

The ultimate version of Cocking's Quality Amplifier, 1946. Absence of cathode bypass capacitors was a "trademark" feature of Williamson's design inherited directly from Cocking's work
