Harry Underwood

Harry Underwood (born 1969) is an American painter known for his use of stenciled images and literary elements executed on wood panels. His pictures are painted with house paint and written with No. 2 pencils. His subjects are an eclectic mix of realism, surrealism, pop art and invention.

Underwood has been labelled an outsider artist, a pop artist, and a folk artist. However, unlike most folk artists, his paintings are carefully planned, often taking months of ideation prior to their execution. One critic said of the detailed planning that goes into Underwood's work that "what results is more a cocktail of realism, surrealism, and pop, Edward Hopper meets Salvador Dalí meets Andy Warhol."

He is popularly known by his first name "Harry", and distinctively signs his paintings with this moniker.

Biography

Harry Underwood was born in 1969 in Miami, Florida. He never completed high school, having been expelled for poor attendance.

The Most World Famous by Underwood (2005)

Career

Underwood first started painting in the early 2000s while working as a flooring installer and house painter in Nashville. He discovered his color palette while going through half-used paint cans in the garage of a house where he was working.

His first major solo show was titled "A Pictorial History of Wishful Thinking" and hosted by the Estel Gallery in Nashville in 2007.

One of his paintings was used by Erin Rae as the cover of her second album, Putting on Airs.

One distinctive feature of his paintings is the text included in them. Duff Lindsay, owner of the Lindsay Gallery said of the text in Underwood's paintings: "This is not shtick. The more you read the text in his work, you realize that this is really from the heart. His text is so revealing about his longings and uncertainties. He once told me that the imagery is retro, but the text is really what he’s thinking and feeling that day. A lot of the text is that desire for sincerity and for things to be real and fair and honest."


Harry Underwood

Though labeled an outsider artist, Underwood avoids the term. When asked about it by a University of North Carolina researcher, he answered "I don’t consider myself part of a movement. I wasn’t aware of artists like Darger or Edward Hopper until I was meeting people at my shows and they began telling me I reminded them of all that. Persistence is what making art is about."

Biography

Dabry gained his first officer-rank when he joined the Aéropostale in 1928 as navigator. Two years later on 12 April 1930 with Jean Mermoz as pilot and Léopold Gimié as radio-operator they made a closed circuit length record by floatplane. The aircraft, a Latécoère 28 fitted with a 600 hp Hispano-Suiza engine flew 4 345 km for 30h25.

Sampling probability

In statistics, in the theory relating to sampling from finite populations, the sampling probability (also known as inclusion probability) of an element or member of the population, is its probability of becoming part of the sample during the drawing of a single sample.simple random sampling the probability of a particular unit [i] to be selected into the sample is

[{\displaystyle p_{i}={\frac {\binom {N-1}{n-1}}{\binom {N}{n}}}={\frac {n}{N}}}]

where [n] is the sample size and [N] is the population size.

Each element of the population may have a different probability of being included in the sample. The inclusion probability is also termed the "first-order inclusion probability" to distinguish it from the "second-order inclusion probability", i.e. the probability of including a pair of elements. Generally, the first-order inclusion probability of the ith element of the population is denoted by the symbol πi and the second-order inclusion probability that a pair consisting of the ith and jth element of the population that is sampled is included in a sample during the drawing of a single sample is denoted by πij.

Many Marriages

Many Marriages is a novel by Sherwood Anderson published in 1923. In this novel, Anderson continued his use of new psychological insights to explore his characters.

Because Anderson explored the new sexual freedom in the novel, it was attacked in an American crusade against "dirty books", which also objected to D.H. Lawrence's Women in Love. Sales of Anderson's novel declined markedly after this unwelcome publicity.

F. Scott Fitzgerald considered Many Marriages to be Anderson's finest novel.

Ozone monitor

An ozone monitor is electronic equipment that monitors for ozone concentrations in the air. The instrument may be used to monitor ozone values for industrial applications or to determine the amount of ambient ozone at ground level and determine whether these values violate National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).

The ozone molecule absorbs ultraviolet radiation, and most ozone monitors utilized in regulatory applications use ultraviolet absorption to accurately quantify ozone levels. An ozone monitor of this type operates by pulling an air sample from the atmosphere into the machine with an air pump.solenoid valve is electronically activated to shift the air flow either through the scrubber or to bypass it on a timed sequence. The difference between the two sampled values determines the actual ozone value at that time. The monitor may also have options to account for air pressure and air temperature to calculate the value of ozone.

The concentration of ozone is determined using the Beer-Lambert Law that basically says that the absorption of light is proportional to the concentration. For ozone, a 254 nanometer wavelength of light created by a mercury lamp is shined through a specific length of tubing with reflective mirrors. A photodiode at the other end of the tube detects the changes of brightness from the light.

The onboard electronics process the values obtained and display the value on the screen and can also output an electrical signal in volts or a 4-20 mA current that can be read by an electronic data logger. Other options for output are RS232 serial port or ethernet or internal data storage on flash memory.

Many Beautiful Things

Many Beautiful Things is a 2015 documentary film written and directed by Laura Waters Hinson. It follows the story of 19th century female artist, Lilias Trotter, and her decision to leave her life in England for a life of missionary work in French Algeria. This film features Michelle Dockery and John Rhys-Davies with the original film score written and performed by Sleeping at Last.

The film was produced by Oxvision Films and Image Bearer Pictures. It premiered at the Heartland Film Festival in Indianapolis, Indiana on October 17, 2015. It showed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., on February 6, 2016 as a part of its nationwide release tour.

Synopsis

The film tells the story of Lilias Trotter, a young artist from the British Victorian era who left her promising art career for a life of missionary work in the North African country of Algeria. By following what she believes to be her vocation, she sacrifices the opportunity of being the apprentice of one of the most influential art critics of the Victorian Era, John Ruskin. The film chronicles the relationship and written correspondence between Lilias Trotter (voice of Michelle Dockery) and John Ruskin (voice of John Rhys-Davies), who spends much of his life trying to convince Lilias to come back to her home in England and continue her career in art.

The film explores the psychological complexities of this decision for Lilias, who struggles to find a way for her artistic talent to coincide with her missionary vocation. Because the time of Lilias' decision to move to Africa overlaps with the beginning of the Suffragette Movement in England, an underlying theme of female independence and empowerment is present throughout the film.

Rifle approach

It is a marketing strategy defined area or subject in order to achieve (hit) a clearly defined objective or target.

One to One Marketing

One to one marketing is targeting a specific group of audience and then carrying out our marketing strategies. Four trends will support the ongoing growth of one to one marketing.

  * The one-size-fits-all marketing of the yesteryear is no longer relevant. Customers do not want to be treated like masses; they need to be treated like individuals as they are, with their own unique sets of needs and wants. By its personalized nature, one-to-one marketing can fulfill this desire.
  * More direct and personal marketing will continue growing to meet the needs of the customers who no longer have time to spend in shopping and making purchase decisions. With the personal and targeted nature of one-to-one marketing, consumers can spend less time making purchase decisions.
  * Consumers will be loyal only to those companies and brands that earn their loyalty and reinforce it at every purchase occasion. One-to-one marketing techniques focus on finding a firm's best customers, rewarding them for their loyalty, and thanking them for their business.
  * Mass-media approaches will decline as advances in market research and database technology enable marketers to collect detailed information on their customers, not just the approximation offered by demographics but the specific names and addresses. New technology offers one-to-one marketers a more cost-effective way to reach customers and enables businesses to personalize their messages. For example, MyYahoo.com greets each user by name and offers information in which the user has expressed interest.

Benefits of Rifle Approach (Market Segmentation)

Rifle marketing first identifies the target customers within a market and has its benefits like :


Rifle approach

* By tailoring programs to individual segments, marketers can make efficient use of marketing resources. They are not wasting resources chasing customers whose needs would not be satisfied.
  * A small firm with limited resources can compete very effectively in one or two market segments, whereas the firm would be stretched very thinly if it tries to cater to the entire market.
  * By using product segmentation, companies can design products that closely match the needs of particular groups.
  * Advertising media can be more effectively used because promotional messages and the media chosen to present them can be specifically aimed towards each segment of the market.

On 1 February, in another "Flip", Frankie Sandford announced that "Not Giving Up" would be the next single released from Living for the Weekend. She said: "We're so excited. We listened to all you fans and know you all love it so it was a bit of a no-brainer for us. We all love it and thought, 'We have to release it'. We've just finished the video for it. I'm so excited. It's a little different from what we've done before. It will be wicked."Twitter.

Critical reception

The song received mostly positive reviews from music critics. Bradley Stern of music website MuuMuse recognised "Not Giving Up" as the best song off the album, commenting “Not Giving Up is amazing for a variety of reasons: For one thing, it’s about not giving up on love.

Actually, it’s stupid good."Yahoo! called the song "one of the strongest singles of their up-and-down career" describing it as "contemporary dancefloor-friendly fare with a trance-pop sugar rush."

Allmusic

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Mark Deming called the album; "a deeply introspective set of songs, with a keenly spiritual undertow running through these meditations on love, nature, and humanity. Not as cohesive as The Salvation Blues, Many Colored Kites is still a worthy and brave album that finds Mark Olson continuing to find new ways of sharing what life has taught him through his music."

Herschel Lynn Greer

[A view from right field shows the green grass and infield dirt of a baseball diamond surrounded by empty blue seats]

Herschel Greer Stadium was named in posthumous honor of Herschel Lynn Greer.

Herschel Lynn Greer (1906–March 19, 1976) was a prominent businessman and the first president of Vols, Inc., an ownership group organized in 1959 for the purpose of keeping the Nashville Vols Minor League Baseball franchise in Nashville, Tennessee.

Greer worked in the financial sector, co-organizing Guaranty Mortgage Company in 1940. He served as its President and Chairman of the Board until 1969. In January 1959, Greer and thirteen other Nashville businessmen, including country music star Eddy Arnold, formed Vols, Inc. The company sold 4,876 shares of stock at $5 each. Vols, Inc. was successful in keeping the Nashville Vols in the city from 1959 to 1961. The Southern Association, of which the Vols were members, collapsed after the 1961 season. The team did not play in 1962. In 1963, the Vols played one final season in the South Atlantic League. The team had a debt of $22,000 that could not be paid, forcing the ownership group to surrender their franchise to the league. This was the last year that professional baseball was played at Sulphur Dell ballpark, the home of the Vols, before it was demolished in 1969.

Greer died in 1976. Two years later, in 1978, Larry Schmittou brought the Nashville Sounds, an expansion team of the Double-A Southern League, to Nashville. The Greer family donated $25,000 for construction of the team's new stadium. The ballpark was named Herschel Greer Stadium in his honor. It served as the home of the Sounds from 1978 through 2014, after which they left the stadium for a new stadium, First Tennessee Park, built on the site of Sulphur Dell.

RüKB Nos. 51Mh to 53Mh

The RüKB Nos. 51Mh–53Mh were German narrow gauge steam locomotives operated by the Rügen narrow gauge railway on the island of Rügen in the Baltic Sea. They were absorbed in 1949 into the Deutsche Reichsbahn in East Germany as their Class 99.463.

History

In 1913 and 1914 the Pomeranian provincial authorities, who had running powers for the following narrow gauge lines, bought a total of eight eight-coupled locomotives from Vulcan in Stettin grouping them as Class M:

  * Kleinbahn Casekow–Penkun–Oder (1)
  * Greifswald–Jarmener Kleinbahn (GJK) (1)
  * Rügensche Kleinbahn (RüKB) (2)
  * Demminer Kleinbahn West (2)
  * Demminer Kleinbahn Ost (1)
  * Kleinbahn Greifswald–Wolgast (1).

Because they proved themselves well, in 1925 a second locomotive was procured for both the GJK and the RüKB. These two engines were amongst the first superheated steam locomotives, unlike the first batch. They were therefore classified as the Mh.

Because the superheated locomotives performed even better, in 1928 the RüKB decided to convert their older machines to superheating.

After the RüKB was taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1949, the three engines were given the new running numbers 99 4631 to 99 4633. In 1992 nos. 99 4632 and 4633 were given new boilers and cylinders at RawLehrte but is now back with the RüKB, the others are still in operation as before on the island of Rügen. No. 99 4632 phase been working in black Reichsbahn colours since 2003.

Rifle Creek Dam

Rifle Creek Dam is owned by Mount Isa Mines. A concrete arch dam, it was constructed in 1929 to replace the earlier Experimental Dam (the first arch dam in Queensland, completed in September 1925) as the primary water supply to the town of Mt Isa, and the mine. The initial full supply volume was 600 million gallons (2,727 megalitres), the spillway was raised in 1953, and the current full capacity is 9,500 megalitres. The dam was replaced as Mt Isa's primary water supply by Lake Moondarra following the completion of that dam in 1958. Rifle Creek Dam now serves as a backup water supply for Mt Isa Mines.

"The songs gesture at folk and country, but they do it quietly and slowly, as if hesitant to disturb Mr. James’s delicate parables. And yet, despite the stillness, this is a wild, passionate album.”
— Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times (November 9, 2013)

The album was well received by critics, and Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times featured the band and album in the publication on November 9, 2013, writing that the band were part of "the legacy of the late Elliott Smith: a generation of indie-rock songwriters... using their own ramshackle voices to sing their own stories of creeping sadness and fleeting joy,"

AllMusic gave it a glowing review and a score of 4.5/5, writing that "even with the addition of understated percussion, shimmering synth and piano, and stately cello, the record still runs on James' sharply rendered lyricisms and quietly deliberate guitar work."slowcore.Pitchfork Media gave it a more mixed score of 6.6/10,PopMatters praised the release and the variety of songs.

The lists are arranged in groups of 100, each group according to level, and each list allows for random generation to determine a room's contents.

Reception

Elisabeth Barrington reviewed the 1980 compilation of Monster and Treasure Assortment in The Space Gamer #36 in 1981.Dungeon Master for impromptu or random encounters, she went on to say, "Thirty-four pages of lists?

Narmada Valley Development Authority

Narmada Valley Development Authority (NVDA) concerns Narmada River, the river of Madhya Pradesh. With 87% of its catchment area lying in Madhya Pradesh, it becomes all the more important for the state to exploit this enormous water resource. It was with this motto in mind that the Narmada Valley Development Authority (NVDA) was formed by the government of MP on 9 August 1985. NVDA oversees all major development projects in the Narmada Basin. The body also ensures that proper rehabilitation is provided to the displaced, and the negative impacts on environment are minimized by taking appropriate measures.

History

Narmada being one of the major rivers in Central India, there has been a large number of studies aiming at exploiting the abundant water resource. This has also led to various disputes between Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat, the three states through which a major portion of Narmada flows. One such dispute was regarding the construction of Navagam dam in Gujarat,Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. To resolve the dispute between the states in sharing the Narmada water, the Narmada Water Disputes Tribunal was formed by the Government of India in 1969. In 1979, 10 years after its formation, Narmada Water Disputes Tribunal awarded 18.25 Million Acre Feet (MAF) out of the total 27 Million Acre Feet (MAF) of water to Madhya Pradesh.Madhya Pradesh government formed Narmada Valley Development Authority in 1985 to oversee the progress of the projects being planned in the Narmada Basin.

Narmada Basin


Narmada Valley Development Authority

Narmada Basin

Narmada is the fifth largest river in India. It is also the largest West flowing river in India, with a total length of 1312 km. Known as the 'Life Line of Madhya Pradesh', 87% of Narmada lies in Madhya Pradesh, covering the districts Shahdol, Balaghat, Rajnandgaon, Mandla, Seoni, Dindori, Katni, Jabalpur, Damoh, Sagar, Narsinghpur, Chhindwara, Betul, Hoshangabad, Harda, Raisen, Sehore, Khandwa, Indore, Dewas, Khargone, Dhar, Jhabua & Barwani. Besides Madhya Pradesh, the river also flows through minor parts of Gujarat and Maharashtra. Narmada has a potential of irrigating over 60,000 square kilometres (23,000 sq mi) of land along with a capacity to generate about 3 gigawatts of hydro electric power. Narmada Water Disputes Tribunal (NWDT) had allocated fixed share of water for each of the four states as follows:

State           Millions of Acre-feet  Billions of cubic metres
Madhya Pradesh  18.25                  14,407
Gujarat         9.00                   7,105
Rajasthan       0.50                   395
Maharashtra     0.25                   197
Total           28.00                  22,104

Each state has to utilize its share of water allocated by 2025, when failing, it will get reallocated to other states. So as to completely utilize the allocated share of water of 18.25 MAF, Madhya Pradesh government came up with 29 major, 135 medium and over 3,000 minor projects which are scheduled to be completed by 2025.

Major Projects

Indira Sagar Project

The Indirasagar Dam is a multipurpose key project on the Narmada River at Narmadanagar in the Khandwa district of Madhya Pradesh in India. The foundation stone of the project was laid by Indira Gandhi, former Prime Minister of India, on 23 October 1984. Construction of the main dam started in 1992. The downstream projects of ISP are Omkareshwar, Maheshwar and Sardar Sarovar Project.


Narmada Valley Development Authority

The project envisages construction of a 92 m high and 653 m long concrete gravity dam. It provides irrigation for 1,230 square kilometers of land with annual production of 2700 million units in the districts of Khandwa and Khargone in Madhya Pradesh and power generation of 1000 MW installed capacity (8x125). The reservoir of 7,900,000 acre-feet (9.7 km3) live storage capacity was created. The dam, built as a joint venture between Madhya Pradesh Irrigation Project and National Hydroelectric Power Corporation, is the source of the Indra Gandhi canal. It was commissioned in May 2005.

Herschel Greer Stadium

Herschel Greer Stadium was a Minor League Baseball park in Nashville, Tennessee, on the grounds of Fort Negley, an American Civil War fortification, approximately two mi (3.2 km) south of the city's downtown district. The facility closed at the end of the 2014 baseball season and remained deserted for over four years until its demolition in 2019. Following an archaeological survey, the land is expected to be reincorporated into Fort Negley Park.

Greer was opened in 1978 for the Nashville Sounds, an expansion franchise of the Double-A Southern League who moved to the Triple-A American Association in 1985 and to the Triple-A Pacific Coast League in 1998. The stadium played host to the team until 2014. The subject of numerous upgrades and repairs to maintain its functionality, Greer became one of the oldest stadiums used by a Triple-A team and had fallen well below professional baseball's standards for a stadium at that class level by the end of its use. For over a decade, the Sounds attempted to secure agreements with the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County for a new ballpark to replace Greer, eventually resulting in the construction of First Tennessee Park, which became the Sounds' new home in 2015.

Amidst the Sounds' 37-season run, Greer simultaneously hosted two professional baseball clubs in 1993 and 1994, acting as a temporary home to a displaced Southern League franchise known during that period as the Nashville Xpress. The stadium also saw occasional use as a venue for college baseball, high school football, and charity softball events. It was the site of three minor league all-star games, eight no-hitters, including one perfect game, and a 24-inning game which tied the record for the longest game in Pacific Coast League history. The stadium was best recognized by its distinctive guitar-shaped scoreboard.

The home opener for Greer's first tenants, the Southern League's Nashville Sounds, the Double-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds, was scheduled for April 25, 1978. Construction was underway, but Schmittou knew the ballpark would not be ready by that date. The team requested to open the season with road games and had to swap a series with the Chattanooga Lookouts in order to have more time to complete the stadium.sod that been laid that winter died.General Manager Farrell Owens organized a volunteer crew to lay the sod by calling a local radio station to announce the team was having a "sod party". people came out to lay and roll the sod the day before the scheduled opening game.

At a time when other Triple-A cities were building new, relatively luxurious ballparks, Schmittou was unable to convince Mayor Phil Bredesen or the Metro Council to pay for such a new park.La Vergne, Cool Springs, and Mount Juliet.

With Greer Stadium still falling below Triple-A standards, Schmittou proposed dropping the Sounds back to Double-A in 1996 via a trade with the Southern League's Memphis Chicks.Chicago White Sox, the Sounds' major league affiliate, did not see Memphis' Tim McCarver Stadium as an improvement over Greer and convinced Schmittou to delay the swap by at least a year.

The 1996 season marked the last that Schmittou was the team's president and part majority owner. With the city prepared to welcome a National Football League franchise, which was to become the Tennessee Titans, Schmittou felt that revenue would be drawn away from his baseball team, so he and businessman Walter Nipper sold their 59 percent stake in the Sounds to Chicago-based businessmen Al Gordon, Mike Murtaugh, and Mike Woleben.
