5600 West BRT

5600 West BRT is a proposed bus rapid transit (BRT) line in western Salt Lake County, Utah, United States, that will be operated by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) and will run along 5600 West (SR-172). Initially, it will only run along a short segment almost entirely within West Valley City, with a connection to Downtown Salt Lake City. However, it will eventually run from South Jordan to the Salt Lake City International Airport.) It is the fifth of several BRT lines that UTA either operates or has planned for in Utah County and the Salt Lake Valley.light rail on rubber tires".

Description

Phase 1 of the 5600 West BRT line will run along a 5-mile (8.0 km) segment of South 5600 West (SR-172) from 6200 South to 2700 West within Kearns and West Valley City. From the northern end of this segment, it will connect with Downtown Salt Lake City along a route (without any stops) following West 2700 North (Lake Park Boulevard), Bangerter Highway (SR-154), 21st South Freeway (SR-201), and Interstate 15 (I-15). The initial route is projected to include 6 stops and run at 10-15 minute intervals and cost $100 million.

Phase 2 will extend the route to a total of 24 miles (39 km)TRAX stations: the Airport station on the Green Line and the 5600 West Old Bingham Highway, South Jordan Parkway, and Daybreak Parkway stations on the Red Line. Phase 2 was originally estimated to be completed sometime before 2025.light rail line along the entire Phase 2 corridor. There is no estimated completion date for Phase 3, except that it will not be until after Phase 2.

History

In 2010, while expressing their support for the 5600 West BRT, West Valley City indicated that they do not ever foresee the need for a light rail line along South 5600 West. Of particular concern was UTA's plans to secure the additional right of way necessary for a future TRAX line. UTA responded to the objections by indicating that the TRAX line may not be built for several decades, but added that "It's always better to overplan and underconstruct than the other way around."


5600 West BRT

At one point in the development stages, an additional stop further south in Herriman was planned. However, by 2013 this stop had been dropped from the plans.

Route

UTA has not yet assigned a route number to the 5600 West BRT.

Kearns

The initial route will begin with a stop at 6200 South (Bennion Boulevard/SR-173) on South 5600 West on the southern edge of Kearns. (This point is also the southern terminus of State Route-172.) A Park and Ride lot is planned in the area of this stop. From this stop it will head north along South 5600 West, crossing Lodestone Avenue (at about 6000 South) and West 5655 South (Plumbago Avenue/Vista Ridge Way), until it enters West Valley City.

West Valley City

Just after entering West Valley City the 5600 West BRT will reach the 5400 South stop at about 5400 South. Another Park and Ride lot is planned for the area of this stop as well. After crossing West 5400 South (SR-173), it will continue north along South 5600 West and will cross West 5200 South (Henley Drive/Westridge Boulevard), West 5100 South (Mountain Men Drive), West 4970 South (South Garden Ridge Road), and West 4700 South before arriving at the 4700 South stop. Continuing on along South 5400 West it will cross West 4470 South (Chantry Way), West 4420 South (Deercrest Drive), West 4360 South, before passing in front of Hunter High School and crossing over the Utah and Salt Lake Canal.


5600 West BRT

Just north of the canal the 5600 West BRT will cross West 4100 South and then continue north to West 3500 South (SR-171) and the 3500 South stop. The 3500 South stop was to include a connection with the (now discontinued) 3500 South MAX and is anticipated to include as Park and Ride lot as well. After crossing West 3500 South it will continue north along 5600 West and will cross West 3100 South before reaching West 2700 South (Parkway Boulevard/Lake Park Boulevard) and the 2700 South stop. This stop is also anticipated to include a Park and Ride lot. While Phase 2 of the 5600 West MAX will have the 5600 West BRT continue north from this point (along South 5600 West), Phase 1 will have it turning east along West 2700 South (Lake Park Boulevard). (In Phase 1, the 2700 South stop will be the last one along the route until it reaches Downtown Salt Lake City.)

Heading east along West 2700 South, the 5600 West MAX will cross High Commons Drive before reaching the roundabout with Dabury Drive. East of the roundabout the route follows Lake Park Boulevard as it jogs slightly to the north before continuing east again, after another roundabout with South 5370 West. Continuing its course to the east the route follows the road as it passes through roundabouts with Highbury Parkway and South 4800 West (Corporate Park Drive) before it reaches about 4060 West. At this point Lake Park Boulevard curves to the north and then to the east again at 2400 South until it reaches Bangerter Highway SR 154. At Bangerter Highway, the 5600 West MAX will turn north to cross West 2100 South before reaching the 21st South Freeway (Utah State Route 201) and entering Salt Lake City.

Salt Lake City

After the 5600 West BRT enters Salt Lake City, it will head east on the 21st South Freeway, crossing over South 3230 West, Interstate 215, Redwood Road (South 1700 West/SR-68), and South 900 West before it reaches Interestate 15 (I-15) at the Spaghetti Bowl. Upon reaching I-15, it will head north along this freeway, crossing West 2100 South, West 1700 South, West 1300 South, Fayette Avenue, West 900 South, and West 800 South, until it exits I-15 at 400 South (University Boulevard).


5600 West BRT

After heading east on West 400 South, the route of the 5600 West BRT is a little unclear. UTA's map appears to indicate that it will continue east as far as 300 West (US-89), crossing South 800 West, crossing over South 700 West and South 600 West, and then crossing South 500 West and South 400 West, but where its stop will be is unclear. Being in such close proximity to the Salt Lake Intermodal Hub, it may well somehow connect with that station, but so far UTA has not provided sufficient clarification.

Stops

Initially six stops are planned for the 5600 West BRT.

The platforms at the station were extended in the 1960s to 615 feet (187 m) to accommodate ten-car trains.

The station house was renovated as part of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's 2005-2009 Capital Program. Square windows were installed in the mezzanine and chain link fences separate the street stairs from the platform ones.

94 Diskont

94 Diskont (stylised as 94diskont.) is the fourth album by German electronic music group Oval. It was released in 1995 via Mille Plateaux in Europe and in 1996 by Thrill Jockey in the United States. It was the final Oval release to feature Sebastian Oschatz and Frank Metzger. It has received critical acclaim.

Background

Oval received both praise and controversy for its styling methods, such as literally deconstructing music and digital audio by using exacto knives, paint, and tape to damage the surfaces of compact discs, only to stitch the sound back together in loops of melody punctuated by the disc's physical skips.Select noted in their review that Oval "sound unlike any other combo" on 94 Diskont.techno and critiqued this reference stating "try dancing to the sort of erratic pulsing and hiccuping that comes over like the read-out from a dying alien's electrocardiograph".

94 Diskont was released as a companion piece to Oval's previous album, Systemisch. The album's centerpiece is "Do While," a 24-minute track originally composed for the group's 8-channel, 128-speaker modular sound installation named Wohnton (translates into home tone) in a stereo mixdown. The installation was shown throughout Europe between 1994 and 1996 on various occasions, ranging from art exhibitions to techno raves.⌘X", is also included on the album. The US pressing by Thrill Jockey adds two additional songs and, on vinyl, moves "Do While ⌘X" up in the running order to appear directly after "Do While", instead of closing the album.

Both US and international vinyl versions of the album came with a remix LP that contains remixes by Mouse on Mars, Scanner, Cristian Vogel, and Jim O'Rourke.

Select         4/5

Dave Morrison of Select gave the album a four out of five rating, first mentioning the group's unorthodox method of obtaining the sounds on the album, then noting that "this out-on-a-limb approach wouldn't mean a thing if the results weren't so brilliant."The Wire placed the album at number five on its 1995 of top albums of the year.


94 Diskont

Ben Tausig of AllMusic awarded the album five stars and stated, "94 Diskont is undoubtedly a standout in the field of electronically advanced, glitch-heavy music."The Wire wrote of the album: "From nothing but digital detritus, Oval construct a resonant holism of pure crystalline beauty. The balance of this disc is given over to brief excursions into textural exposition, pushing back the boundaries of sound as music."

In a 2003 feature, the webzine Pitchfork placed 94 Diskont at number 47 on its list of the top 100 albums of the 1990s. Mark Richardson of Pitchfork declared, "Sounds appear as multi-layer holograms, with both sources and ghosted copies simultaneously vying for attention, a piece of sonic trickery used to create some of the most serene and aquatic music of the '90s."94 Diskont "was the first sound of a new future".Pitchfork named 94 Diskont the seventh best ambient album of all time.

Adolph Peschke

Adolph E. Peschke was a veteran outdoorsman,pioneering project designerBoy Scouts of America. He is best known for writing the 1993 edition of the pamphlet for the Pioneering merit badge,

Background

Adolph E. Peschke was born in St. Louis, MO, October 27, 1914, to Cecil and Adolph Peschke. When he was twenty years old, he got married and lived with his wife, Grace in Webster Groves, MO where they raised their children, Don and Jayne. Adolph Peschke joined the Boy Scouts as a youth and achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. He was continuously registered as a Scout for over 85 years.Silver Antelope Award.

Scouting

Adolph Peschke served as a volunteer in the Greater Saint Louis Area Council for sixty years where he dedicated much of his time to Beaumont Scout Reservation and was a director for more than twenty Wood Badge courses. Through his decades of service to the Boy Scouts of America, some of his most noteworthy contributions were:

  * writing the founding charter for the National Eagle Scout Association
  * serving as a resource for Scouting, Boys' Life, the BSA Fieldbook and Program Helps
  * serving as the design engineer for five national Scout jamborees where he was responsible for the theme development, site layout, and staff training for the Action Center's pioneering areas

Pioneering

Adolph Peschke was keenly attuned to providing the assurance that boys of Scouting age could successfully build pioneering structures themselves. He referred to these projects as "boy-sized," and has been credited with the design of thirty original "boy-size" pioneering projects.

 1. Single Lock Bridge
 2. Single Trestle Bridge
 3. A-Frame Bridge
 4. 14' Double Ladder Signal Tower
 5. Double A-Frame Monkey Bridge

With the intention of making Pioneering more within the reach of those Scout units in geographic areas where access to natural spars was limited, he devised a design for making a pioneering kit consisting of laminated spars from materials readily available at a lumberyard.

Adolph Peschke also developed the pioneering kit with its color-coded system to identify rope and spar lengths for building pioneering projects.

Administrative Litigation Act

The Administrative Litigation Act (行政事件訴訟法, Gyōsei jiken soshō-hō) is a Japanese statute enacted in 1962 which governs lawsuits involving the government of Japan. It overlays the Code of Civil Procedure, and the Code governs such cases to the extent the Act is silent.

Types of administrative litigation

The Act provides for four types of administrative litigation

  * Appellate litigation (抗告訴訟, kōkoku soshō), an in-court appeal of an unlawful use of government authority. Such a claim may seek to cancel a government act (by far the most common type of administrative litigation), declare an act legally invalid, declare an inaction illegal, impose a duty or provide an injunction against future acts.
  * Ex parte litigation (当事者訴訟, tōjisha soshō), which requires the resolution of a public law issue in the context of a private dispute. Most such cases are treated as ordinary civil litigation, so few cases are heard under the ex parte system. Common examples of ex parte cases include confirmation of Japanese nationality, and expropriation claims.
  * Popular litigation (民衆訴訟, minshū soshō), essentially a class action of affected individuals against the government. The most common types are election-related litigation and citizen suits under the Local Autonomy Law.
  * Entity litigation (機関訴訟, kikan soshō), litigation between administrative entities or organs.

Many administrative law jurists do not admit that this institution is constitutional, by reason of that violation to the principle of separation of powers.

However in 1969, the Tokyo District Court reject crime of a jurist who appeal that this institution is not constitutional.

Administrative litigation versus other means of appeal

The Administrative Appeal Act may also be used to appeal a wrongful government act. Administrative appeals are made directly to the government body whose act is being appealed. Ordinarily the petitioner may choose either venue to contest a government act. However, there are certain special cases (such as tax-related claims) where an administrative appeal process must be completed before a court may hear the case.

A. L. M. Nicolas

Louis Alphonse Daniel Nicolas (1864-1939)—better known by his pen name A. L. M. Nicolas—was a Persian-born French historian and orientalist who is best known today for his early work on Shaykhism and Bábism.Orientalists to devote substantial attention to the life and teachings of the revolutionary Persian religious figure known as the Báb, and his work continues to serve as an important source for the study of the early history of Shaykhism, Bábism and the Baháʼí Faith.

Biography

Nicolas was born on 27 March 1864, in Rasht, in the Gilan Province of Iran where his father was stationed with the French Consular Service in Persia. As a young man he learned to speak French, Persian and Russian, going on to study at the Special School for Oriental Languages in Paris. After his studies, Nicolas followed his father's footsteps, joining the consular services in which he served as leading Persian interpreter.

An ongoing disagreement between Nicolas's father and Arthur de Gobineau—secretary and chargé d’affarires at the French legation in Persia, who would go on to be an influential orientalistLes Religions et Les Philosophies dan l'Asie Centrale. While Nicolas agreed with his father's assessment of Gobineau's work as riddled with errors resulting from Gobineau's limited grasp of Persian and lack of research acumen, it was through this work that he was first exposed to the life and teachings of the Báb. As a result of his research, Nicolas befriended an employee of the consulate who was a member of the Baháʼí Faith, and who assisted him to meet local Bábís and Baháʼís.

As Nicolas continued studying, his interest did not remain purely academic. He developed friendships with local members of the two religions, and undertook to translate a selection of Bábí scriptures. Over the course of translating the Báb's Persian Bayán and Dalá'il-i-Sab'ih (The Seven Proofs) from Persian to French, he developed a growing appreciation for the teachings and person of the Báb, came to identify as a follower of the Báb, or a Bábí. In a 1939 interview, he described this experience:


A. L. M. Nicolas

"I had resolved to translate the "Persian Bayán". I admit that during the two or three years of my study [of that book] I was often dazzled by the explanations that the Báb gives us for certain mysteries such as death, the resurrection, the Sirát — this bridge that passes over hell, narrow as a hair, sharp as a razor, and which the believer traverses with the rapidity of lightning. These explanations pleased me and I exerted myself more and more in my work. I only regret having neglected the translation of the majority of the Writings that issued forth from the pen of the Prophet.

"Also, in reading the "Book of the Seven Proofs", which I translated, I was seduced by the clarity of reasoning of the Báb. I was aided in my work by a young Persian and every day in the afternoon we went walking outside the town leaving through the gate of Shimran. The purity of the air, the serenity, the softness of the temperature and, in certain seasons, the perfume of the acacias predisposed my soul to peace and to tenderness. The meditations that I had upon the strange book I was translating filled me with a kind of intoxication and I became bit by bit profoundly and uniquely a Bábí. The more I plunged into these meditations the more I admired the exalted genius of the one who, born in Shíráz, dreamed of uplifting the Muslim world; and [his] explanation of the meaning of the language of Shí'í belief impelled me gradually to write "Seyyed Ali Mohammed dit le Báb".

Alfred Walter Stewart

Alfred Walter Stewart (5 September 1880 – 1 July 1947) was a British chemist and part-time novelist who wrote seventeen detective novels and a pioneering science fiction work between 1923 and 1947 under the pseudonym of JJ Connington. He created several fictional detectives, including Superintendent Ross and Chief Constable Sir Clinton Driffield.

Biography

Born in Glasgow in 1880, Stewart was the youngest of three sons of the Reverend Dr. Stewart, Clerk to the University Senate and Professor of Divinity. After attending Glasgow High School he entered Glasgow University, graduating 1902, taking chemistry as his major. His outstanding performance earned him the Mackay-Smith scholarship.

After spending a year in Marburg engaging in research under Theodor Zincke, he was elected to an 1851 Exhibition Scholarship and then in 1903 entered University College, London. Here he began independent research. His work, which formed part of his thesis, gained him a DSc degree from Glasgow University in 1907 and he was soon elected to a Carnegie Research Fellowship (1905–1908).

He decided to pursue an academic career and in 1908 wrote Recent Advances in Organic Chemistry which proved to be a popular textbook whose success encouraged him to write a companion volume on Inorganic and Physical Chemistry in 1909.

In 1909 Stewart was appointed to a lectureship in organic chemistry at Queen's University, Belfast and in 1914 was appointed Lecturer in Physical Chemistry and Radioactivity at the University of Glasgow. During World War I he worked for the Admiralty. In 1918 he drew attention to the result of a beta particle change in a radioactive element and suggested the term isobar as complementary to isotope.

He retired from his academic work in 1944 following recurrent heart problems.

Stewart is now chiefly remembered for his first novel, Nordenholt's Million (1923), an early ecocatastrophe disaster novel in which denitrifying bacteria inimical to plant growth run amok and destroy world agriculture. The eponymous plutocrat Nordenholt constructs a refuge for the chosen few in Scotland, fortifying the Clyde valley. The novel is similar in spirit to such disaster stories as Philip Wylie and Edwin Balmer's When Worlds Collide (1933) and anticipates the theme of John Christopher's The Death of Grass (1956).

Dorothy L. Sayers paid tribute to Stewart's The Two Tickets Puzzle in her The Five Red Herrings. She gave him full credit and built on one of his ideas for part of the solution of her mystery.

John Dickson Carr was also an admirer of Stewart's

AWPP

In theoretical computer science, almost wide probabilistic polynomial-time (AWPP) is a complexity class contained in PP defined via GapP functions. The class often arises in the context of quantum computing.

AWPP contains the complexity class BQP (bounded-error quantum polynomial time), which contains the decision problems solvable by a quantum computer in polynomial time, with an error probability of at most 1/3 for all instances. In fact, it is the smallest classical complexity class that upper bounds BQP. Furthermore, it is contained in the APP class.

Boat Park Ltd v Hutchinson

Boat Park Ltd v Hutchinson [1999] 2 NZLR 74 is a cited case in New Zealand regarding what evidence is admissible when considering the express terms of a contract.Investors Compensation Scheme.

Background

Boat Park purchased a Whangarei property from Hutchinson for $1,050,000, with Hutchinson agreeing to provide vendor finance of up to 75 percent of "a registered valuer's valuation of the property".

However, when it came to settlement, Boat Park supplied a valuation report that gave a valuation of $3.5 million, more than triple the purchase price, which if accepted, would have effectively meant vendor finance of 100%.

The valuation was based not on the current market value of the property, but on the estimated value after it had been subdivided and developed, but this valuation made no account for any risk for such matters if the council consents were not approved or that the sections did not sell.

Hutchinson refused to accept this valuation as a fair market value, and initially refused to settle, but reluctantly agreed to settle, and later successfully referred the dispute to the High Court.

Boat Park appealed the High Court judgment.

Held

Boat Parks appeal was dismissed. The court applied the Investors Compensation Scheme principles, and held that the purchaser's valuation was not a fair valuation.

Footnote: Not disclosed during the High Court trial, but subsequently discovered for the appeal was that at the time Boatparks valuer valued the property at $3.5 million, at the same time, their valuer supplied a valuation of $1.135 million for the very same property, that was supplied to another party.

The Acton Baronetcy, of the City of London, was created in the Baronetage of England on 30 May 1629 for Sir William Acton, a merchant and King Charles I's choice of candidate for the position of Lord Mayor of London in 1640 (he was rejected in the Court of Common Hall election, which was unprecedented). He had no sons and the title became extinct on his death in 1651. His only daughter, Elizabeth, married Sir Thomas Whitmore, 1st Baronet.

The Acton Baronetcy, of Aldenham in the County of Shropshire, was created in the Baronetage of England on 17 January 1644 for Edward Acton, MP for Bridgnorth (first cousin once removed of Sir William Acton). For more information on this creation, see the Baron Acton.

Breakin' Up Winter

Breakin' Up Winter is an old-time music 'retreat', a gathering of old-time string band musicians that began the first weekend of March, 1994. It eschews the contest approach common to the larger festivals. It brings together hundreds of old-time musicians in a state park setting where the first focus is on educational programs and presentations by scholars and icons of the old-time music worlds. And, of course, jamming. It is presented by the Nashville Old-Time String Band Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that began as an offshoot of a community education class in Nashville, Tennessee.

History

The first Breakin' Up Winter retreat was just that - an informal gathering of friends who shared an interest in and love for old-time string band music. Fresh from another small old-time gathering in Athens, Alabama, they wanted to create that same atmosphere in Middle Tennessee. The first gathering was held in the Cedar Forest Lodge of the Cedars of Lebanon State Park near Lebanon, Tennessee, about 30 miles outside Nashville. The retreat continues at Cedars of Lebanon, but now encompasses the entire state park. Legendary old-time fiddler Charlie Acuff was a guest of honor at that first event and has been a central artist through the years.

Scholars and artists

Charlie Acuff was the first in a long line of widely respected "heritage artists" - icons of old-time music - to headline Breakin' Up Winter. There developed a theme for the first day of the event - 'Roots of Old-Time Music' - that brings in noted researchers, authors, and performers.

Noted traditional music researcher/author/folklorist Charles Wolfe was a mainstay until his untimely death in 2006.

Each year, the event begins with scholarly presentations by researchers and authors and demonstrations by musicians with deep roots in the music.

"Participatory music like old-time music involves a great deal of gifting—passing along tunes, playing with others, learning from others, sharing, and coming together for events such as Breakin’ Up Winter to do all of this," writes Jeff Todd Titon, professor of ethnomusicology at Brown University.

In addition to Charlie Acuff and Charles Wolfe, presenters and performers have included:

The Focus: Old-time String Band Music

Some call it "mountain music" or "old-timey" or "fiddle tunes." It's the heart of this retreat and the mission of the Nashville Old-Time String Band Association: ". . . to preserve, promote, and perform old-time string band music."

A flurry of interest in "old-time" music in the 1940s, and the folk music revival of the 1960s and 1970s, brought millions of new listeners to this traditional music.

But in the hills and hollows of Appalachia and many communities beyond, it did not need reviving. It remained the music that people learned to play knee-to-knee with musicians who learned it the same way. There remain many players whose introduction to the music came (and still comes) not from radio or recordings, but through family and friends who themselves who were passing it down directly through the generations.

It is to those roots of old-time music that this retreat reaches and which is the focus of the first day of the event.

In 2008, NOTSBA began presenting its Heritage Award to musicians. The first went to Charlie Acuff, the second to Clyde Davenport, the third to Franklin George. The fourth will be presented in 2010 to Lester McCumbers.

AWM-SIAM Sonia Kovalevsky Lecture

The AWM-SIAM Sonia Kovalevsky Lecture is an award and lecture series that "highlights significant contributions of women to applied or computational mathematics."Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) planned the award

The lectures are named after Sonia Kovalevsky (1850–1891), a well-known Russian mathematician of the late 19th century.Karl Weierstrass regarded Kovalevsky as his most talented student. In 1874, she received her Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Göttingen under the supervision of Weierstrass. She was granted privatdozentin status and taught at the University of Stockholm in 1883; she became an ordinary professor (the equivalent of full professor) at this institution in 1889. She was also an editor of the journal Acta Mathematica. Kovalevsky did her important work in the theory of partial differential equations and the rotation of a solid around a fixed point.

David Gardner (trade unionist)

David S. Gardner (died 1913) was a British trade unionist.

Born in Glasgow, Gardner was a member of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers (ASE). In 1893, he was elected to its new executive, representing Division 1 (Scotland and Carlisle), which required him to move to London.Independent Labour Party (ILP), and argued unsuccessfully that the union should support G. N. Barnes as an ILP candidate in the 1894 Govan by-election. He was a leader of the opposition to general secretary John Anderson, arguing as early as 1893 that he should be removed from office for drunkenness. Anderson was eventually dismissed in 1896, and Barnes succeeded him.

Gardner, with Barnes, argued in 1900 that the union should affiliate to the new Labour Representation Committee, something supported by the membership but on very low turnouts. In 1903, Gardner was elected as chairman of the executive of the ASE.

Gardner supported building links with other unions, arguing that the union should join the Federation of Engineering and Shipbuilding Trades and the General Federation of Trade Unions (GFTU). It did affiliate to the GFTU, and in 1906, Gardner succeeded Barnes on its executive council, becoming treasurer in 1908.

In 1909, Barnes stood down as general secretary of the ASE, and Gardner stood for the post, losing to Jenkin Jones by 18,000 votes to 15,000.
