Sampled data system

In systems science, a sampled-data system is a control system in which a continuous-time plant is controlled with a digital device. Under periodic sampling, the sampled-data system is time-varying but also periodic; thus, it may be modeled by a simplified discrete-time system obtained by discretizing the plant. However, this discrete model does not capture the inter-sample behavior of the real system, which may be critical in a number of applications.

The analysis of sampled-data systems incorporating full-time information leads to challenging control problems with a rich mathematical structure. Many of these problems have only been solved recently.

It is popular in Hong Kong among higher class people in the period of 1950s-1970s, offering a range of classical haircut until today.trimming, massaging, nails clipping, etc. Despite the sunset of Shanghai style barber shop in Hong Kong in the modern days, it still attracts loyal customers, especially among males, and costs around HK$70 for a haircut and shave using traditional clippers.

History

Golden age in Shanghai (1920s-1930s)

Much rich and middle class that can afford the high quality of lifestyle settled in Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s. Western-style barber shops were popular among them because of western admiration and trend pursuit. But then, some oversea Chinese businessmen, strong entrepreneurs, and local Shanghainese businessmen were interested in the hair-styling, which got a potential to make a good profit. With Shanghai businessmen’s smartness in business strategy, western-style barber shops and existing local barber shops were increasingly replaced by Shanghai-style barber shops.

Golden age in Hong Kong (1950s-1970s)

Between 1940 and 1950, many Shanghainese immigrated to Hong Kong with their capital and skills. Some of them were Shanghai-style barbers. They had a concept of grooming to retune and upgrade Hong Kong’s grooming culture in those earlier times. As Hong Kong became the colony of British, the situation changed and allowed them to develop in this new environment with their professional skills.

During the heyday of the Shanghai-style barber shop in the 1960s to 1970s, every industry in Hong Kong was booming as the society was developing.

Barber Wong said if they want to be a hairstylist, they'd rather go to those modern salons and this had hastened the industry's decline.North Point said rent is the hardest thing to cover in their operation.

Ning Ying

In this Chinese name, the family name is Ning.

Ning Ying (born 1959 in Beijing) is a female Chinese film director often considered a member of China's "Sixth Generation" filmmaker coterie,Jia Zhangke, Zhang Yuan and Wang Xiaoshuai. However, this is more a result of a shared subject matter than anything else, as chronologically, Ning is closer to the earlier Fifth Generation.Ning Dai, is a frequent collaborator and the wife of fellow director Zhang Yuan. In 1997, she was a member of the jury at the 47th Berlin International Film Festival.

Directorial career

Part of the first class to reenter the Beijing Film Academy in 1978 (along with Fifth Generation helmers Zhang Yimou, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Chen Kaige), Ning Ying's career veered away from the path of her male counterparts when she was allowed to study abroad in Italy's Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia.Bernardo Bertolucci, whom she would act as an assistant director for in the 1987 epic The Last Emperor.

Her own career first reached international prominence with 1993's For Fun (also known as Looking for Fun), which would become the first of Ning Ying's "Beijing Trilogy," a loosely tied grouping of films that all take place in Beijing — the other two films being the black comedy, On the Beat and the drama, I Love Beijing. Together, the films are an analysis of the massive changes that China's national capital has undergone in the recent decades.

In 2003, the trilogy was shown in its entirety by the Harvard Film Archive in an event touted as "From China with Love: The Films of Ning Ying."

Ning followed her Beijing trilogy with a full-length documentary, Railroad of Hope in 2002, which followed the mass migration of cheap labor throughout China. The film managed to win the Grand Prix du Cinema du Reel in 2002.

In 2005, she made Perpetual Motion, which premiered in several major film festivals, notably Venice and Toronto.

Jacques de Béthencourt

Jacques de Béthencourt (fl. early 16th century) was a French physician who practiced medicine in Rouen. He is remembered for coining the term venereal disease.

As a Frenchman, Béthencourt resented the term Morbus Gallicus (French disease), which was a popular name for sexually transmitted diseases at the time. He believed that since the disease originated from "illicit love" it should be named Morbus Venereus (Malady of Venus) or lues venerea (venereal disease). Béthencourt believed it to be a new disease that was unknown to the ancients.

In 1527, Béthencourt published a book called Nouveau Cartme de penitence or the "New Book of Penance". Here he uses medical and moral judgments regarding the disease. In this treatise he creates an argument as to whether guaiacum or mercury is the best cure, and to what level of suffering a patient should have to endure in order to "be taught a necessary lesson".

P. P. Werlein

The former flagship Werlein Music Building in New Orleans subsequently housed a restaurant; the "Werlein's For Music" sign on top of the building remained, although it was replaced by the restaurant's name prior to August 2014.

P. P. Werlein (1812–1885) was an American music publisher, piano dealer, and musical instrument retailer based in New Orleans, Louisiana in the 19th century. Among other Civil War songs, he published the sheet music for "Dixie". The retail music stores that he founded, Werlein's for Music, were among the largest in the American South during much of the more than 150 year existence of the stores.

Early life

Philip P. Werlein was born in Rhenkreis, Bavaria, on March 30, 1812. He was educated as a musician, specializing in piano, and was partly self-taught and mentored by his father, who was a professor at the University of Bonn.

After immigrating from Germany to the United States in 1831, Philip P. Werlein studied music and subsequently became a music teacher. He headed the music department at the Female Seminary of Clinton, Mississippi. However, music publishing and music sales became his main business when he opened a music store in 1842 in Vicksburg, Mississippi.

Music business

In 1850, Werlein relocated to New Orleans, where he was initially employed by the Ashbrand Music Company. Three years later, he purchased the Ashbrand Music Company, creating the "Ashbrand & Werlein" music store. The store was located at 93 Camp Street in New Orleans.Canal Street (before the 1894 street address renumbering).

Unauthorized sheet music to "Dixie", published by P. P. Werlein and Halsey of New Orleans, Louisiana in 1861.

Shortly thereafter, Werlein purchased the sheet music catalog and Mayo-Johns music inventory, then owned by William T. Mayo, making Werlein the major music publisher in the American South.industry association known as the Board of Music Trade


P. P. Werlein

Like much of the mid-19th century U.S. music industry, Werlein showed little respect for copyright during his career. In 1860, he published unauthorized sheet music for the blackface minstrel hit, "Dixie". Only the threat of legal action convinced Werlein to credit Dan Emmett as the song's writer and to pay royalties to Firth, Pond & Co. Emmett, perhaps sardonically, dedicated the "Dixie" sequel, "I'm Going Home to Dixie", to Werlein in 1861.

Werlein refused to recognize Union copyrights and published new versions of "Dixie", including "The War Song of Dixie" with words by Albert Pike. He also profited from pro-Confederate sentiment by publishing several pieces of music attributed falsely to Jefferson Davis. The Civil War also brought the addition of Werlein's wife's name (Halsey) to the company, which became P. P. Werlein & Halsey in 1861. Nevertheless, the collapse of Confederate money and the seizure of Werlein's inventory of Confederate sheet music with the end of the Civil War put Werlein's stores temporarily out of business.

At the outbreak of the American Civil War, Werlein became a vocal proponent of the Confederacy. After the Union Army took control of New Orleans, Werlein refused to take the Oath of Allegiance required of people in occupied regions of the southern United States. Following his refusal, Werlein went into forced retirement in New Iberia, Louisiana, until the cessation of hostilities in the American Civil War.

P. P. Werlein & Halsey reopened in 1865 and by 1867 relcated to 82 Baronne Street in New Orleans.

In its earliest years, the stores emphasized sales of pianos, selling several major brands and had its own brand of piano. It had a branch in Mobile, Alabama.

Personal life


P. P. Werlein

Personal life

Philip P. Werlein married Margaret Halsey of Long Island, New York, in 1846. They had four children together: Philip P. Werlein Jr., S. Halsey Werlein, Lillie Werlein Ware, and Mary Werlein. Philip Jr. became an owner and manager of the music store and publishing company at the end of the United States Civil War.

At times, Philip P. Werlein was known as Philip P. Werlein I, while his son, referred to as Philip Werlein Jr. (1847-1899), was known in the local community as Philip Werlein Sr., even though he had the same name as his father. Press reports in the immediate post-Civil War period often did not distinguish between the two, and in fact Philip P. Werlein's grandson was often known as Philip P. Werlein Jr. (1878-1917).

Werlein's wife died three months before his death on April 17, 1885. His cause of death was reported to be apoplexy, which overcame him suddenly and unexpectedly. He is interred in the family tomb at Metairie Cemetery.

Representative sheet music publications

In the mid to late nineteenth century, Werlein's for Music published anthologies of sheet music in its journals, "The Song Journal" and "Werlein's Journal of Music". About a third of the music pieces published by Werlein's for Music during this time period do not bear a date of copyright or publication.

Spellow railway station

Spellow railway station was located on County Road, Walton in Liverpool, England.

History

The station opened in September 1882 on the Canada Dock Branch, which ran from the docks north of Liverpool to Edge Hill.

The station building was at street level, with steps at the back leading down to the platforms which were situated in a deep rock cutting.

The station closed to passengers on 31 May 1948, but the line continued to be used by passenger trains running from Liverpool Lime Street to Southport Chapel Street. This ceased in 1977, but freight trains to and from Seaforth Dock still pass through the station site.

It was proposed that Spellow station would reopen to passengers in 1977 as part of the new Merseyrail network, along with other stations on the branch. Although this never happened it remains a possibility in the future if Merseyrail decides to extend their current network. It was announced in December 2019 that Liverpool City Council had commissioned a feasibility study to see about reopening the Canada Dock Branch to passenger traffic.

The station building still stands and is currently in use by a bookmaker.

P. R. Pisharoty

Prof. P. R. Pisharoty

Pisharoth Rama Pisharoty (Malayalam: പിഷാരത്ത് രാമ പിഷാരടി;10 February 1909 – 24 September 2002) was an Indian physicist and meteorologist, and is considered to be the father of remote sensing in India.

Early life and education

P. R. Pisharoty was born on 10 February 1909 in the town of Kollengode in the Indian state of Kerala. His parents were Sivaramakrishnan alias Gopala Vadhyar and Lakshmi Pisharassiar. He had three brothers: Chakrapani, Balakrishnan and Rajagopal, and three half brothers: Vaidyanathan, Rose Vadhyar and Gopalakrishnan. He completed his early education in Kerala. Having done his Physics BA honours from St. Joseph's College, Trichinopoly, Madras state, he went on to do his MA (Physics) from Madras University. He then worked as a college lecturer in Physics at Loyola College at Chennai during 1932-1941. During the summer vacations he used to work under Prof. C. V. Raman at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. On the recommendation of Raman, Pisharoty joined the India Meteorological Department in 1942, where he carried out research on thunderstorms, western disturbances, movement of monsoon depressions, orographic rain, etc. He then joined the University of California for further studies where he worked under meteorologist Jacob Bjerknes. His published two reports titled Some aspects of geostrophic poleward sensible heat and The kinetic energy of the atmosphere. He obtained his MS (in Meteorology) and PhD degrees by 1954.

Work in Indian remote sensing programme

On returning to India, Pisharoty became the Director of Colaba and Alibag Magnetic Observatories in 1959 and Founder Director of the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune in 1962. In 1967 he retired as Director of the Institute of Tropical Meteorology and joined the Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad as a senior professor at the invitation of Vikram Sarabhai. At this point he was entrusted with the job of introducing remote sensing technology to India. He accepted the job. His pioneering experiment of detection of coconut wilt-root disease using Soviet aircraft and US equipment was considered to be the first success in remote sensing in India.

Lúin of Celtchar

In the Ulster Cycle of early Irish literature, the Lúin of Celtchar (Irish: Lúin Celtchair) is the name of a long, fiery lance or spear belonging to Celtchar mac Uthechar and wielded by other heroes, such as Dubthach, Mac Cécht and Fedlimid.

Properties

Detailed descriptions of the spear's special use and terrible effect are to be found in the Middle Irish texts Togail Bruidne Dá Derga ("The Destruction of the Hostel of Da Derga") (Recension II) and Mesca Ulad ("The Intoxication of the Ulstermen"), both of which employ the so-called "watchman device" to describe the fearful appearance of the warrior Dubthach Dóeltenga. In Togail Bruidne Dá Derga, it appears when the spies of Ingcél Cáech report on Conaire's large retinue of warriors in the hostel of Da Derga in Leinster. Lomnae Drúth observes:

The man in the centre had a great lance, with fifty rivets through it, and its shaft would be a load for a team of oxen. He brandished the lance until sparks as big as eggs all but flew from it, and then he struck the butt against his palm three times. Before them was a great food cauldron, large enough for a bullock, with an appalling dark liquid in it, and the man dipped the lance into the liquid. If not the lance was not quenched quickly, it blazed up over its shaft – you would have thought there was a roaring fire in the upper part of the house.

The interpreter Fer Rogain identifies the figure as Dubthach Dóeltenga and explains:


Lúin of Celtchar

And the lance that was in the hand of Dubthach, that was the Lúin of Celtchair son of Uthechar that was found at the Battle of Mag Tuired. Whenever the blood of enemies is about to flow from the lance, a cauldron full of venom is required to quench it; otherwise, the lance will blaze up in the fist of the man carrying it, and it will pierce him or the lord of the royal house. Each thrust of this lance will kill a man, even if it does not reach him; if the lance is cast, it will kill nine men, and there will be a king or royal heir or plundering chieftain in their number. I swear by what my people swear by, the Lúin of Celtchar will serve drinks of death to a multitude tonight.

In Mesca Ulad, Medb's watchmen paint a very similar picture when they describe one of the approaching warriors:

A great warrior, his spear reaches to the height of his shoulder. When its spear-heat seizes it, he strikes the butt of the great spear across the palm, so that the fill of a sack-measure of fiery tinder-sparks bursts out over its blade and over its tip, when its spear-heat takes hold of it. Before him there is a cauldron of black blood, of dreadful liquid, prepared by night by his sorcery from the blood of dogs and cats and druids, in order that the head of that spear might be dipped in that poisonous liquid when its spear-heat comes to it.

Cú Roí then explains to Medb and her company that the watchmen have just seen Dubthach, who has borrowed the Lúin of Celtchar, and that a cauldron of red blood stands before him "so that it would not burn its shaft or the man who carried it were it not bathed in the cauldron of poisonous blood; and it is foretelling battle that it is."


Lúin of Celtchar

A late version of the saga Cath Ruis na Ríg ("The Battle of Ross na Ríg") gives a more succinct account of the Luin, but also adds a number of details, such as the use of four mercenaries to keep the cauldron in place.Lúin to slay a hound which had been ravaging the country, he placed it upright with the spear-point upwards and so a drop of the hound's blood which trickled down along the spear went through him and killed him.

Circulation

In the Ulster cycle, Celtchar's Lúin is used by various warriors of Ulster and Connacht. Dubthach had use of it (Togain Bruidne Da Derga and Mesca Ulad, see above quotes), and Dubhthach himself was slain by Fedlimid who wielded Lúin Celtchar according to a notice following the Togail Bruidne Dá Choca(e)

According to a poem by Cináed ua hArtacáin (d. 975), the Connacht champion Mac Cécht used it to slay Cúscraid Menn, son of Conchobor mac Nessa.

There is also a tract in TCD MS 1336 (olim MS H 3.17), col. 723Cormac mac Airt, and came to be known as the Crimall of BirnbuadachLug mac Eithliu of the Tuatha Dé Danann was called. This tract occurs as a postscript to a later version (B group) of The Expulsion of the Déisi found in the same MS,

H.R. Millar's illustration of "Lugh's Magic Spear", 1905.

Spear of Lug?


Lúin of Celtchar

Spear of Lug?

Arthur C. L. Brown and R. S. Loomis, proponents of the Irish origin of the Grail romances, argued that Celtchar's Lúin was to be identified with the spear of Lug,one of the four items which the Túatha Dé Danann introduced to Ireland. A connection may have been drawn implicitly by Togail Bruidne Dá Derga, which claims that the Lúin was found in the Battle of Mag Tuired, elsewhere known as the battle in which the Túatha Dé Danann led by Lug defeated the Fomoiri. Moreover, a tale of later date, the Early Modern Irish Oidheadh Chloinne Tuireann describes the spear of Lug in ways which are reminiscent of Celtchair's Lúin. However, the Middle Irish references to Lug's spear do not correspond closely to the Lúin.

Murray loop bridge

Murray loop bridge

Leeds & Northrup test instrument capable of performing Murray and Varley loop tests.

The Murray loop bridge is a bridge circuit used for locating faults in underground or underwater cables.Time-domain reflectometer.

One end of the faulted cable is connected through a pair of resistors to the voltage source. Also a null detector is connected. The other end of the cable is shorted. The bridge is brought to balance by changing the values of RB1 and RB2, which is achieved when:

[{\frac {R_{x}}{R_{g}+R_{y}}}={\frac {R_{{B1}}}{R_{{B2}}}}]

which is equivalent to:

[R_{x}=(R_{g}+R_{y})\cdot {\frac {R_{{B1}}}{R_{{B2}}}}]

The value of resistance Rx is proportional the length Lx, thus the location of the fault can be calculated:

[L_{x}=2\cdot L\cdot {\frac {R_{{B1}}}{R_{{B1}}+R_{{B2}}}}]

where L is the total length of the cable under test - a value proportional to Rg.

The method assumes a single fault exists, of low resistance compared with the undamaged cable insulation resistance, and that the cable conductors have uniform resistance per unit length.

Varley loop

The similar Varley loop uses fixed resistors for RB1 and RB2, and inserts a variable resistor in the faulted leg. Test sets for cable testing can be connected for either bridge technique. If the fault resistance is high, the sensitivity of the Murray bridge is reduced and the Varley loop may be more suitable.

Scarus globiceps

Scarus globiceps, commonly known as the globehead, violet-lined, speckled or roundhead parrotfish, is a marine fish native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans, where it lives in coral reefs.

French naturalist Achille Valenciennes described the globehead parrotfish in 1840. The species was the first parrotfish collected by Charles Darwin—from the waters around Tahiti and then from the Cocos Islands; the former was described as a new species and given the name Scarus lepidus by Leonard Jenyns, while the latter was confirmed as the current species.Henry Weed Fowler described a specimen from Caroline Island as Scarus pronus, which was later synonymised with this species.

The globehead parrotfish can grow up to 45 cm (18 in) long and weigh up to 0.5 kg (1.1 lb).

The range is from the Society and Line Islands in the Pacific west to the Ryukyu Islands in the north, the Great Barrier Reef in the south, and across the Indian Ocean to east Africa. It is found more commonly on outer reefs but can also inhabit lagoons, generally to a depth of around 12 metres (39 ft) and occasionally down to 30 metres (98 ft).

Scarus globiceps is harvested for food in Guam.

Hospitality industry in New Zealand

The hospitality industry in New Zealand is a major industry operating around the country.

Businesses in the sector can be divided into four broad categories: Quick Service Restaurants; Takeaways; Pubs, Taverns and Bars; and Cafes and Restaurants. Auckland, Canterbury and Wellington regions.

The sector has a long-term shortage of workers, particularly skilled chefs and managers. Workers do not require formal qualifications, but require customer service skills and may require certificates to manage premises and sell alcohol.

History

In 2019, 39.1% of sales were in the Auckland region, 12.3% of sales were in the Canterbury region, and 10.6% of sales were in the Wellington region.

Between January 2020 and January 2021, the sector recorded double digit revenue declines across all categories due to the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand.

In the late 2021 Auckland lockdown, the sector recorded a further 60% reduction in national activity.

Murrayoceras

Murrayoceras is a nautilid cephalopod included in the orthocerid family Baltoceratidae, widespread in the Middle Ordovician of North America, characterized by a depressed orthoconic shell with a subtriangular cross section and flattened venter and a proportionally large ventral siphuncle, 0.15 to 0.3 the dorso-ventral shell diameter.

As originally perceived Murrayoceras included species differing in siphuncle profile.

Murrayoceras has a ventral rod in the siphuncle,Rhabdiferoceras and Cartersoceras, among others. In some recent classifications howeverMurrayoceras has been reassigned to the Sactorthoceratidae although Frey (1995)


Harry Turner (footballer)

Harry Turner (19 June 1882 – 14 April 1967) was an English professional footballer who played as an outside forward for Southampton in the 1900s.

Football career

Turner was born in Farnborough, Hampshire, the younger brother of Archie Turner (1877–1925),England.

He first played for his local side at South Farnborough, from where he was invited to The Dell for a trial in April 1900.Boxing Day 1903, when he replaced the injured Dick Evans in a 1–0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. For the remainder of the season, he vied with his unrelated namesake, Joe Turner for the outside-right position, making ten appearances, scoring twice.

For the 1904–05 season, Harry's brother Archie had returned to Southampton, while Joe Turner had moved to New Brompton. With new signing Charles Webb preferred at outside-right, Harry was moved to the left where he made five appearances scoring four goals, including two in a 4–3 victory over Swindon Town on 10 September.

Despite having an "eye for goal",Hampshire Senior Cup.

In the summer of 1905, he returned to north-east Hampshire to play out his career in the Aldershot & District League with Farnborough, although his professional career had a brief renaissance at Reading in 1908.

Shannon multigraph

In the mathematical discipline of graph theory, Shannon multigraphs, named after Claude Shannon by Vizing (1965), are a special type of triangle graphs, which are used in the field of edge coloring in particular.

A Shannon multigraph is multigraph with 3 vertices for which either of the following conditions holds:
  * a) all 3 vertices are connected by the same number of edges.
  * b) as in a) and one additional edge is added.

More precisely one speaks of Shannon multigraph Sh(n), if the three vertices are connected by [\left\lfloor \frac{n}{2} \right\rfloor ], [\left\lfloor \frac{n}{2} \right\rfloor ] and [\left\lfloor \frac{n+1}{2} \right\rfloor ] edges respectively. This multigraph has maximum degree n. Its multiplicity (the maximum number of edges in a set of edges that all have the same endpoints) is [\left\lfloor \frac{n+1}{2} \right\rfloor ].

Edge coloring

This nine-edge Shannon multigraph requires nine colors in any edge coloring; its vertex degree is six and its multiplicity is three.

According to a theorem of Shannon (1949), every multigraph with maximum degree [\Delta ] has an edge coloring that uses at most [\frac32\Delta] colors. When [\Delta ] is even, the example of the Shannon multigraph with multiplicity [\Delta/2] shows that this bound is tight: the vertex degree is exactly [\Delta ], but each of the [\frac32\Delta] edges is adjacent to every other edge, so it requires [\frac32\Delta] colors in any proper edge coloring.


Shannon multigraph

A version of Vizing's theorem (Vizing 1964) states that every multigraph with maximum degree [\Delta ] and multiplicity [\mu ] may be colored using at most [\Delta+\mu] colors. Again, this bound is tight for the Shannon multigraphs.

Herschel Heights

The Herschel Heights ( 71°53′S 69°38′W / 71.883°S 69.633°W) are a complex of nunataks of which Mimas Peak on the east is the highest, located southwest of the Enceladus Nunataks and near the head of Saturn Glacier in southeastern Alexander Island, Antarctica. The eastern part of this feature was photographed by Lincoln Ellsworth, November 23, 1935, in the course of his trans-Antarctic flight and was plotted from the air photos by W.L.G. Joerg. The heights were named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee from association with Mimas and Enceladus, after Sir William Herschel, the British astronomer who discovered these two satellites of Saturn in 1789.
