Duple Laser

The Duple Laser was a design of a coach bodywork built by Duple between 1983 and 1986. It replaced the long-running Duple Dominant body as Duple's standard medium-height coach of the mid 1980s.

Variants

The original Laser was introduced in 1983 as Duple's entry-level / mass-market coach and was available on various 11 and 12 metre long mid-engined Bedford, Leyland and Volvo chassis.

At the end of 1984 the Laser range was given a facelift and renamed the Laser 2. The main differences were a switch to bonded glazing and a revised front with twin headlamps and plastic grille, again shared with the contemporary Caribbean II.

The Laser Express and Laser 2 Express were dual-purpose versions with bus-type entrance door and other modifications intended for use on express and interurban services. These were eligible for the British Government's New Bus Grant until this subsidy on new buses was terminated in 1984.

Replacement

At the end of 1985 the new Duple 320 and 340 were launched as replacements for the Laser and Caribbean ranges respectively.

Judith (Giraudoux)

This article is about the play by Giraudoux. For the play by Hebbel, see Judith (Hebbel).

Judith is a play written in 1931 by French dramatist Jean Giraudoux.

Synopsis

In ancient Palestine, an Assyrian army is attacking a community of Jewish people. The Assyrians are led by Holofernes. The Jews see their own doom coming, and they believe that they can be saved only if the fairest and purest one of their women is sent to Holofernes to plead to spare them. They pick Judith–a virgin, 20 years old, beautiful, brilliant and wealthy.

Judith doesn’t want to go–she thinks the mission she’s being sent on is ridiculous and based on superstition. But confronted with the possibility that her country might be destroyed, she agrees to try it. A captain in the Jewish army named John wants to marry her. He sends a prostitute to Holofernes, who will pretend to be Judith. But Judith gets to Holofernes’ tent first. One of Holofernes’ officers, Egon, a pederast, is persuaded by the prostitute to disguise himself as Holofernes. Judith is taken in by this trick, and feels humiliation and failure. Then Holofernes arrives, but Judith is not able to make her plea of sparing her fellow Jewish people. Holofernes attempts to seducer Judith, she agrees to go to his bed, and she kills him there.

Original productions

Judith was translated into English by John K. Savacool, in The Modern Theatre, ed. Eric Bentley, vol. 3 (1955), and by Christopher Fry, in The Drama of Jean Giraudoux, vol. 1 (1963).

Judith was first performed on 4 November 1931Théâtre Pigalle in a production by Louis Jouvet.

Giuseppe Olivi

Late Giuseppe Olivia picture by Melchiorre Cesarotti

Giuseppe Olivi (18 March 1769 – 24 August 1795) was an Italian abbot and naturalist. He was born at Chioggia and was the author of Zoologia Adriatica (1792). He died in Padua when he was only 26.

Biography

Olivi was born in Chioggia in 1769. He was educated in Choggia under the tutelage of Francesco and Giuseppe Fabris. Despite only having taken minor orders, he wore ecclesiastical garments and adopted the title of abbot. He had wide interests, which stretched from chemistry, where he supported the theories of Antoine Lavoisier, passing through mineralogy and agriculture, to botany, with particular reference to algae. He stood out among the late eighteenth century Italian naturalists in his independent outlook, questioning the theories prevalent at the time, and considering the ecological aspects of the animals he studied, and the impact they had on the environment.

Olivi was interested in the infusoria discovered by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, the microscopic living organisms present in water whose existence had previously been unknown. He studied the Adriatic Sea, being one of the first naturalists to make observations under the water; he found great variations in the structure of the seabed and its associated fauna which inspired the palaeontologist Giovanni Battista Brocchi in his study of the strata and fossils of the Apennines.Gregor Mendel was another naturalist who was inspired by Olivi's work, mentioning him in the foreword to his 1866 work Versuche über Pflanzen-Hybriden. Olivi published the work for which he is principally remembered, Zoologia Adriatica, in 1792. It included descriptions of such invertebrates as Vorticella, Volvox and Hydra,Suberites domuncula.

The well-known biologist Lazzaro Spallanzani thought highly of Olivi, and forecast a brilliant future for him, but this was not to be, because Olivi died in 1795 at the age of 26.cloister of the Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua.

El heredero de Casa Pruna

El heredero de Casa Pruna (English: The Heir of the Pruna House, Catalan: L’hereu de Can Pruna) is a Spanish short silent film directed by Segundo de Chomón. It was shot in Barcelona in 1904 and released in Spain the same year, making it the first Spanish comedy film.

Plot

In a small village, a young man dressed in a grotesque fashion asks a scrivener to write for him the following notice: "The heir of the Pruna house would like to get married. You can meet him at the Chicha-Chic farm in Horta. He shall have a laurel branch at his buttonhole". The notice is posted on the wall and soon a group of women gather to read it. The young man waits with a very large branch of laurel in front of his house and soon a large crowd of women assembles. He runs away chased by the women, gets out of the property through a big gate, climbs over a wall, falls down a steep slope, steals a man's bicycle and rides away only to fall down very soon, continues running down a lane and through an orchard, before arriving at a fountain. All along the women run behind him. The last seconds of the film are missing but it is likely that he would fall into the water.

Production and analysis

The film was inspired by several films based on a similar plot which were produced in the USA during 1904, notably Personal, directed by Wallace McCutcheon Sr., How a French Nobleman Got a Wife through the New York Herald ‘Personal’ Column directed by Edwin S. Porter, or Meet Me at the Fountain, directed by Sigmund Lubin. De Chomón transposed the action to Spain and filmed it on various locations around Horta, which has now become a district of Barcelona.

El heredero de Casa Pruna: medium shot

The film is composed of 13 shots, one of them being interrupted by a close-up of the notice written by the scrivener. Each of the shots shows a different outdoor location. All the shots are wide shots except one medium shot of the main protagonist. The chase is filmed from three different angles: 1) the camera facing the runners, 2) at a 45° angle, 3) laterally, in that case the camera briefly pans to follow the action, a camera movement quite innovative for the time.

Preservation

The film was considered lost until 2002 when a nitrate copy was found, with only the last seconds missing, in the archives of the Cinema Museum of Girona.

Franco Foschi

Franco Foschi (28 June 1931 – 17 August 2007) was an Italian surgeon, writer and politician.

Biography

After his high school studies he enrolled in the faculty of medicine and was particularly interested in neurology and diseases of the nervous system; he was the author of numerous publications in this field and became chief physician and director of mental health services in the province of Ancona; he was also interested in the conditions of workers and was professor of Occupational Medicine in Urbino in his last years of life.

In 1982, as undersecretary, he worked for the return to their homeland of the "desaparecidos" of Italian origin, weaving relationships with the leaders of the Argentine government, strongly linked to the circles of Freemasonry; according to some testimonies these contacts were at the basis of his registration in the list of members of the Masonic lodge P2. Foschi, always proclaimed himself a stranger to the Masonic Lodge and defended himself by asserting that his name had been included in the list without his knowing anything. Although cleared of any collusion with P2, the story marked his political career.

In 1987 he was appointed director of the National Center for Leopardian Studies; under his twenty-year presidency, the Center became a prestigious international institution, collaborating with universities and scholars of every country and promoting Leopardi's work in all nations.

In 2001 he founded and inaugurated the World Poetry Center on the top of the infinity hill in Recanati with the aim of promoting and fostering poetry and culture in any part of the world and in any language and form it can be used.

He remained President of the National Center for Leopardian Studies and the World Poetry Center until his death.

He was also President of AWR, an international non-governmental scientific association based in Vaduz which enjoys consultative status towards the United Nations and the Council of Europe under the patronage of the Prince of Liechtenstein regarding the problems of refugees and migrant workers.

Conejo Valley's longest creek, Arroyo Conejo, flows westwards and crosses horizontally the southern part of Casa Conejo. A multi-use pathway along the creek has been proposed, which would cross the community and connect the Newbury Park Library and Borchard Community Park. The path would be open for pedestrians, bikers and equestrians, resembling Simi Valley's Arroyo Simi. The waterway is managed by the Ventura County Watershed Protection District, while the Conejo Recreation and Park District (CRPD) would overlook the proposed recreational multipurpose walkway.

In both cases (Mines and Industry), the medal was divided in two grades: first class (silver) and second class (bronze), with the medal being a circular silver or bronze medal (as appropriate to the class awarded) suspended from a ribbon 1 3/8" wide and coloured dark blue and edged with yellow. The medal associated with mines depicted colliers at work whilst the industry medal had a female figure with an industrial complex in the background.

The Edward Medal (Mines) was awarded only 395 times (77 silver and 318 bronze) and the Edward Medal (Industry) only 188 times (25 silver and 163 bronze, of which only two were awarded to women), making the Edward Medal one of the rarest British gallantry awards.

CESI Aerial view Milan Headquarters

CESI - Centro Elettrotecnico Sperimentale Italiano "Giacinto Motta" is a company that provides testing and certification services, energy consultancy, engineering and technology consulting for the electricity sector worldwide. CESI is headquartered in Milan, Italy and was founded in 1956. It currently has offices and laboratories in five continents and over 70 countries.

History

CESI was founded in 1956. The strong necessity of doing experimental tests and network studies persuaded the big electromechanical industries (Pirelli, SAE, Ercole Marelli, Ansaldo), together with the majority of electrical industries (Edison, SADE, Montecatini, Falck), of the need of a “Great Power laboratory”. In the early 50s, the “X Laboratory” was born. At the end of the 50s, CESI is developed a leadership in the determination of short-circuit powers inside the transmission lines and in load flows’ problems. In the 1958, its international aim is attested thanks to an important commission: the study of the system El Chocón Dam – Buenos Aires for the construction of two hydroelectric plants.

The problems of the unification of electrical frequencies and of the interconnection networks, enabling energy interchange between an “island” and another and consequently achieve Italian electrical system unity, lead to the establishment in 1962 of ENEL.ENEL decided to use CESI's laboratories to make targeted studies for its operative activity. The company purchased the majority of the capital of CESI. CESI, under the boost of the increase in electricity consumption, built new laboratories, also for high voltage cable tests. This gave birth to the “1000 kV’s Project”,

In 1988, CESI signed a convention with IMQ which bring to fruition the CSQ (Certified Quality Systems).ENEL charged CESI with a research project to be finished in three years: the Energy storage for a stationary and vehicular use. The topic was the application of the electrical battery not only on traditional power plants but especially on non traditional ones, like photovoltaic and wind power. The project faced off the development and industrialization of pioneering batteries and, at the same time, wanted to realized prototypes of electric vehicles with a highest degree of innovation.

ISMES was purchased in 2004 and, thanks to the deal, CESI increased its competences in land conservation, natural hazards and qualification of civil structures and industrial plants, preservation of monuments and monitoring services. 2005 saw CESI's expertise in laboratory testing being extended through the acquisition of IPH GmbH (located in Berlin) and FGH Engineering & Test GmbH (located in Mannheim) from Vattenfall Europe. Both companies are working in the field of testing of high -, medium - and low voltage electrical components. CESI Ricerca created in 2005 with ENEA, and it has been transferred into GSE (Electrical Services Manager) in 2009.

With a view to cater closely to international client needs, CESI established two new companies: CESI Middle East was set up in 2011 in Dubai and CESI do Brasil in March 2012.Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development to come up with a plan for integrating the loosely connected electricity and natural gas networks of 20 Arab countries.

In July 2018, CESI acquires EnerNex, a company based in Knoxville, Tennessee, active in the U.S. market in technical consulting and engineering of networks based on innovative technologies.

On December 30, 2019, CESI acquires the property of KEMA B.V. The acquisition includes all the high-voltage testing, inspection and certification activities carried out at the KEMA-owned laboratories in Arnhem (Netherlands) and Prague (Czech Republic). The transaction was completed on March 2, 2020, with the acquisition of the laboratory in Chalfont (U.S.A.).

The KEMA Labs testing and inspections facilities include the world's largest high-power laboratory, with the highest short circuit power (up to 10,000 MVA); the world's first laboratory capable of testing ultra-high voltage products for super grids; the Flex Power Grid Laboratory, for advanced testing of smart grids components.

Frederik Christian Stoud Platou

Frederik Christian Stoud Platou (17 February 1811 – 23 June 1891) was a Norwegian legal scholar, Supreme Court justice, district stipendiary magistrate and politician.

Personal life

He was born in Christiania as a son of educator, professor, politician and State Secretary Ludvig Stoud Platou (1749–1815) and his wife Karen Lumholtz (1785–1833).Nicolai LumholtzCarl Nicolai Stoud Platou, and through the latter an uncle of Valborg Platou and Lars Hannibal Sommerfeldt Stoud Platou. He was a granduncle of Carl Platou.

In July 1844 in Kråkstad he married the vicar's daughter, Constance Henriette Reiersen (1820–1893). They had a son, Oscar Ludvig Stoud Platou,

Career

He graduated from the university with the cand.jur. degree in 1839. In 1842 he started holding lectures at the university, and in the same year, when Ulrik Anton Motzfeldt became a Supreme Court Assessor, Platou was hired as a lecturer of jurisprudence from June 1843. In 1849 he was promoted to professor, although there was a vote of dissent in the government—some wanted Frans Christian Faye to advance from lecturer to professor of medicine instead. The dissent went to the Parliament of Norway in 1851, but no change was made. He published little; only one noteworthy book, Om Besiddelse efter norsk Ret ("On Possession after Norwegian Law") in 1863. He also participated in ad hoc law commissions. In 1877 he received an honorary degree at Uppsala University.

From 1862 to 1864 he was a Supreme Court Assessor, but after 1864 he was only extraordinary Assessor in some cases at the same time as being district stipendiary magistrate in Nes District Court.Auditor General of Norway from 1873 to 1874,Minister of Auditing in three interim governments: first during King Oscar II's travel in Germany from May to June 1875; then during King Oscar II's travel in Russia in July 1875; then during the King's and the Crown Prince's travel in Russia in September 1881. Christian Selmer was also a part of the first two of these interim governments.


Frederik Christian Stoud Platou

In 1883–1884 Platou was an acting Supreme Court Assessor, and was a part of the Impeachment case against Selmer's Cabinet.

After 1884 he worked in the high court of the Diocese of Kristiania, where he was transferred because his hearing was deteriorating. He died in June 1891 in Kristiania.


False (logic)

See also: Falsity

In logic, falseuntrue is the state of possessing negative truth value and is a nullary logical connective. In a truth-functional system of propositional logic, it is one of two postulated truth values, along with its negation, truth.0 (especially in Boolean logic and computer science), O (in prefix notation, Opq), and the up tack symbol [\bot ].

Another approach is used for several formal theories (e.g., intuitionistic propositional calculus), where a propositional constant (i.e. a nullary connective), [\bot ], is introduced, the truth value of which being always false in the sense above.

In classical logic and Boolean logic

In Boolean logic, each variable denotes a truth value which can be either true (1), or false (0).

In a classical propositional calculus, each proposition will be assigned a truth value of either true or false. Some systems of classical logic include dedicated symbols for false (0 or [\bot ]), while others instead rely upon formulas such as p ∧ ¬p and ¬(p → p).

In both Boolean logic and Classical logic systems, true and false are opposite with respect to negation; the negation of false gives true, and the negation of true gives false.

[x]    [\neg x]
true   false
false  true

The negation of false is equivalent to the truth not only in classical logic and Boolean logic, but also in most other logical systems, as explained below.

False, negation and contradiction

In most logical systems, negation, material conditional and false are related as:

¬p ⇔ (p → ⊥)

In fact, this is the definition of negation in some systems,intuitionistic logic, and can be proven in propositional calculi where negation is a fundamental connective. Because p → p is usually a theorem or axiom, a consequence is that the negation of false (¬ ⊥) is true.


False (logic)

A contradiction is the situation that arises when a statement that is assumed to be true is shown to entail false (i.e., φ ⊢ ⊥). Using the equivalence above, the fact that φ is a contradiction may be derived, for example, from ⊢ ¬φ. A statement that entails false itself is sometimes called a contradiction, and contradictions and false are sometimes not distinguished, especially due to the Latin term falsum being used in English to denote either, but false is one specific proposition.

Logical systems may or may not contain the principle of explosion (ex falso quodlibet in Latin), ⊥ ⊢ φ for all φ. By that principle, contradictions and false are equivalent, since each entails the other.

Consistency

Main article: Consistency

A formal theory using the "[\bot ]" connective is defined to be consistent, if and only if the false is not among its theorems. In the absence of propositional constants, some substitutes (such as the ones described above) may be used instead to define consistency.

Haringey Huskies

The Haringey Huskies are a British ice hockey team based in London, England. The Huskies are members of the NIHL 2 South East Division and play their home games at Alexandra Palace.

Formation

The EIHA announced on 1 June 2017 that the Haringey Racers would no longer be operating a NIHL franchise out of Alexandra Palace, instead a new team, the Haringey Huskies, would be offered the Racers spot in the league.

This announcement was not without controversy as Racers owner David Richards Jnr would claim that the franchise had been stolen from him by the Huskies ownership.

The Huskies faced the Basingstoke Buffalo in their maiden game, suffering a 6–3 loss,

Chen Yonglin

In this Chinese name, the family name is Chen.

Chen Yonglin

Chen Yonglin (simplified Chinese: 陈用林; traditional Chinese: 陳用林) is a former Chinese diplomat who sparked fears of a diplomatic incident through his defection to Australia in the summer of 2005. The episode highlighted the tensions faced by China's trade partners when concerns arise from that nation's human rights record. The episode was compared to the Petrov Affair by such observers as Shadow Minister for Immigration Laurie Ferguson and trade unionist Bill Shorten.

Background

Chen had been a university student in Beijing during the pro-democracy movement that ultimately led to the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. Several of his friends were wounded in the ensuing repression by the government. He was said to have undergone political reeducation after the subsequent crackdown on dissidents, and joined the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1991. This culminated in his posting as the consul for political affairs in the Chinese consulate in Sydney, Australia. In this position, Chen has stated that he was responsible for monitoring Chinese political dissidents, especially Falun Gong, living in Australia. He also reportedly had access to highly classified information on Chinese intelligence activities in Australia. Chen has claimed that he had "gone easy" on dissidents and Falun Gong practitioners and had not reported some actions, to protest China's policies towards political dissent. He has also suggested that the Chinese government was becoming suspicious of his activities, and that as a result, he fears for his safety if returned to China. Chen remains unapologetic over his defection, insisting that he betrayed the Communist Party of China, not China.

Factors contributing to the defection, according to Chen, are the torture and death of his father during the Cultural Revolution, his witness of the Tiananmen Massacre and the persecution against the Falun Gong imposed by the Chinese Authorities.

Defection and allegations


Chen Yonglin

Defection and allegations

On 26 May 2005, Chen walked out of the consulate with his wife and daughter. On that day he reportedly met an officer from the Department of Immigration who contacted the Chinese consulate to verify Chen's identity. A Senate inquiry later criticized the government for this action, citing Chen's stated concern that such contact would put his life in danger.Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Chen has stated that he was told at this meeting that his request for political asylum had been rejected, but that he could apply for a protection visa. The story broke to the international media on 3 June, when Chen contacted The Australian newspaper, sparking fears of a serious diplomatic incident between the two nations. Anne Plunkett the director of protocol at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade met with Chen, who alleges that she repeatedly urged him not to defect.

On 4 June, though he allegedly feared being kidnapped, Chen came out of hiding to address a rally commemorating the 16th anniversary of the deaths in Tiananmen Square. During his speech, he claimed he would "reveal everything he knows". He also claimed that the Chinese government had more than a thousand agents in Australia, and that they were responsible for monitoring and kidnapping Chinese nationals back to China. Furthermore, Chen claimed that in one particular case in early 2000, Chinese agents in Sydney had kidnapped a student to force his father, Lan Fu, a former senior Chinese official to return to China.

After the June 4th rally, Chen once again went into hiding, having claimed that he was under constant surveillance and in fear of his life. On 5 June, the Chinese embassy released a statement claiming that Chen was due to return home and had invented allegations of wrongdoing in the hope that he would be allowed to stay. The statement was intended to alleviate fears for Chen's safety if he returned to China.

Support, opposition, and ultimate success

On 7 June Chen's claims of a thousand-strong spy network were supported by Hao Fengjun, a former police officer with the 6-10 Office, a special security force established to eradicate Falun Gong by whatever means they deem necessary. The Chinese government responded by claiming that documents seized from Hao's home in China had shown that he was a low-level policeman suspected of corruption. Hao's lawyer, Bernard Collaery, attacked the claims, however, arguing that they were "standard [Chinese] tactics." Hao was granted a protection visa by the Australian government in late July 2005.

On 7 July, a Chinese defector in Canada using the name Han Guangsheng emerged to support Chen and Hao's spying allegations. During his interview on the ABC show Lateline, Han explained "I do know that the Communist Party of China sent people to collect intelligence information, including Chinese Embassy and Consulate staff. Some of the reporters coming from state Chinese media and visiting scholars are also given special spying tasks to carry out." The fifty-two-year-old defector has been denied political asylum and ruled ineligible to remain in Canada, because the federal Immigration and Refugee Board found him a "willing accomplice" in prior human rights abuses.Shenyang's public security and labor camps before his defection.

China's ambassador in Canberra, Fu Ying, condemned Chen for "attacking his motherland" with "allegations and noise" for what she claimed was the sole purpose of living in a wealthier country. She warned that many more would follow Chen, if he was allowed to relocate to Australia.

On 8 July, Chen Yonglin, his wife, and his 6-year-old daughter were granted permanent protection visas by the Immigration Department, despite the opposition of the Chinese government.
