History.

In 1902 the settlement that would become Aliceville was founded with the opening of a single store. The city was named in honor of the wife of John T. Cochrane, founder of the Alabama, Tennessee and Northern Railroad and moving force behind the construction of the short line from Carrollton, Alabama to Aliceville. Within two years of the completion of the short line, Aliceville had grown to what the "Montgomery Advertiser" called in 1905 "a town of considerable pretensions. There are about a dozen stores, a bank, public buildings and numerous enterprises."  In 1907 an election was scheduled to allow the citizens of Aliceville to decide whether their community should be incorporated. Incorporation was approved by the voters, and on March 19, 1907, a municipal election was held to choose municipal officers, including a mayor and five aldermen: T.H. Sommerville, J.M. Summerville, A. Hood, J.D. Sanders, W.E. Stringfellow, and J.B. Cunningham, respectively.  In August 1907 a black man named Gibson was lynched in Aliceville, which caused civil disturbances in the community. Rumors swirled that "the negroes were arming themselves," and a group of blacks on horseback were fired on in the street. Gibson's father was subsequently "ordered to leave the county on account of some impertient (sic) talk."  By March 1908, municipal officials had decreed that all streets should have ten-foot sidewalks built on both sides. Property owners were to be responsible for building the sidewalks in front of their parcels. This work, along with the paving of the streets, was largely completed by June 1910 and the city began considering the installation of water and electricity.

Camp Aliceville.

During World War II, a Prisoner-of-war camp was set up in Aliceville to hold 6,000 German prisoners, most from the Afrika Korps, although the population of the camp rarely exceeded 3,500. The camp operated between June 2, 1943 and September 30, 1945. Prisoners were brought to the camp via the St. Louis – San Francisco Railway.  The only remaining trace of the camp is an old stone chimney. However, there is a German POW collection at the Aliceville Museum and Cultural Arts Center which retains documentation from the camp including maps, photographs, camp publications, letters, and artwork.

Civil rights movement.

1960.

During the civil rights movement, organizing in small communities such as Aliceville was often more dangerous for activists than it was in larger cities because of their isolation. As late as 1965, according to James Corder, a Primitive Baptist minister from Aliceville, Pickens County had not yet experienced any civil unrest related to the movement. Jordan was inspired by the Selma to Montgomery marches in March of that year to organize a civil rights group in Aliceville, which he called the "Rural Farm and Development Council" in order to avoid scrutiny. The group organized protests at the Aliceville city hall to oppose officially sanctioned racism in the city.  In September 1969 black students held protests against the principal of an all-black school in Aliceville, prompting governor Albert Brewer to send National Guard troops into the city. Two of the city's all-black schools were closed on September 4 due to the demonstrations, and they reopened the next day under National Guard supervision.

1970s and 1980s.

In 1982, Aliceville native Maggie Bozeman testified at Congressional hearings held in Montgomery, Alabama, concerning proposed amendments to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. She testified that as late as 1980 in Aliceville and Pickens County voting took place in the open rather than in private booths and that white police officers were stationed in polling places, taking photographs of people who assisted black voters. This revelation outraged Republican congressman Henry Hyde, who had previously been unconvinced of the necessity of amending the law.  Bozeman's testimony followed her 1979 arrest, conviction, and sentencing for vote fraud. Bozeman and fellow political activist Julia Wilder of Olney, Alabama were given "the sternest sentences for a vote fraud conviction in recent Alabama history": five years for Wilder and four for Bozeman. The sentences were upheld on appeal, prompting the formation of an organization, the National Coalition to Free Julia Wilder and Maggie Bozeman and Save the Voting Rights Act, and a march through Aliceville from Carrollton, Alabama, to Montgomery to publicize their cause.  The United States Department of Justice sent eight poll-watchers to Aliceville to observe the 1984 primary election runoffs following reports from observers of the July 1984 main primaries.

And after.

In November 2013 three tanker cars carrying crude oil exploded when an Alabama and Gulf Coast Railway train derailed near Aliceville. As of March 2014, the cleanup of the spilt oil was still not complete, despite four months of work. About 750,000 gallons of Bakken crude was released.

Setting.

The eponymous bazaar of the game is a sentient being. It is curated by several Masters, each with their own control over Fallen London's business (Mr Apples, for instance, controlling agriculture, while Mr Fires rules industry). The monarch of the city, Her Enduring Majesty the Traitor Empress, sold the city to the bazaar to spare the life of her husband Albert, Prince Consort, in 1861. The entire city was then taken beneath the surface by a swarm of bats, where it has remained for over thirty years.  London is only the latest, fifth city to be taken underground in a pattern stretching across thousands of years, although certain storylines show that it has not lost contact with the outside world. Surrounding Fallen London is the Unterzee, a subterranean ocean the size of Europe with many islets and infested with monstrous sea life; experienced players may sail across it to visit other locations in connection with story lines based in Fallen London. Among these is Polythreme, a country where inanimate objects become alive and sentient (and source of Clay Men, the golems used as cheap labor in London), the Iron Republic, a devil-ruled place in which even reality is subject to the capricious and constantly changing written laws, the Elder Continent where ebony skinned men and tigers live forever and the Khanate, a rival nation to Fallen London made up of the descendants of the fourth city that was taken, Karakorum.  Fallen London has also found itself much closer to Hell: devils appear constantly and casually in various storylines, and even maintain an embassy in the city itself. A dream-realm, Parabola, is closer to London than to surface locations, and is sometimes visible through mirrors.

Gameplay.

Players take the role of new arrivals to the underground down on their luck, and make their way to the cream of the crop of the city's various legal and illegal activities. Players are gentlebeings of leisure, plumbing the vices and secrets of Fallen London. They have no living expenses, and though players may choose a profession for a periodic income, they can publish a newspaper, serve out repeated prison sentences and feed deliverymen to a man-eating plant without harming their job security. Stats are used to track the player character's abilities and their position in the questlines; a character may accumulate hundreds. Four of these are the character's main attributes (Watchful, Shadowy, Dangerous, Persuasive) and constantly used for succeeding in actions, though failure may also increase the corresponding menace (Nightmares, Suspicion, Wounds, Scandal). If any menace rises too high, the character is removed to a side location (such as Disgraced exile in the Tomb-Colonies for Scandal) to work it off.  The game can't be won, but can be lost. A questline to "Seek Mr. Eaten's Name", about destructive obsession, requires the player to damage their character in like manner repeatedly, until its completion leaves the character permanently unplayable. The game requires players to opt into this questline and warns them against playing it.

Development.

Alexis Kennedy began solo development of Fallen London as an amateur project in June 2009, creating the setting, building the site and writing the initial content. He had originally intended the game to be an entirely text-based experience, but quickly realised that art would enhance the project, and recruited a friend, Paul Arendt."Paul came on board because I wanted to write and code but I can't draw," says Kennedy. The original plan was to pay Arendt outright for his illustration work. "I said, 'I want to pay you as I want this to be a professional thing.' He said, 'Cut me in for a percentage,' and I said, 'Sure, that's great! I don't need to give you any money now! But you realise we're probably not going to make any actual money out of it?'" He claps his hands together. "We've been on salary for three years now, so... so that worked out."The site launched initially in October 2009 as an entirely free site, and introduced free-to-play elements in January 2010. Kennedy and Arendt recruited a number of other friends to write additional content, and over the years, the writing of Fallen London became a collective endeavour.  Fallen London is built on Failbetter's Storynexus engine. Kennedy has explained that creating Storynexus was the original motivation behind the creation of Fallen London. The company's plan was to develop Storynexus as an open platform, but later described Storynexus as a 'failure'.

Release.

"Fallen London" was released in 2009 as a browser game. An iOS and Android version was released in 2016, but was retired in 2018.

Reception.

"Fallen London" has received positive reviews, with much praise going to its writing and worldbuilding. Dan Zuccarelli of Gamezebo, calling the game "one of the best browser games [they'd] ever played", pointed to the game's "compelling but not overwhelming" story as its main feature. Rock, Paper, Shotgun's Adam Smith wrote in favour of its writing style along with its "inventive setting", "dripping with lore". He noted how most of the discovery comes from the player working things out for themselves.  Emily Short found it "almost entirely about setting". She gave credit to the quality of the game's prose and its "reasonably consistent" worldbuilding, though thought the game could be used for "something plottier". Short noted the "grinding" in the game, but found the daily time investment to play the game small enough to overlook its gameplay's "slightness".  However, Short subsequently went on to become a writer for the game, and in late 2019 joined Failbetter as creative director.  The game won "The Escapist" "Best Browser-Based Game" award for the year 2009.

Spin-off media.

"Sunless Sea" and its sequel, Sunless Skies, are roguelike spin-offs of "Fallen London".  On 22 September 2018, Failbetter Games released Skyfarer RPG, a rules light, highly narrative indie pen-and-paper role-playing game to accompany Sunless Skies.  "Tales of Fallen London: The Silver Tree", a prequel to "Fallen London", was released on 23 October 2012. "The Silver Tree" is also a browser-based choose-your-own-adventure game, but occurs roughly five hundred years before the time of "Fallen London" and focuses on the events surrounding the fall of the Fourth City, Karakorum, capital of the Mongol Empire. A tabletop game titled "Knife & Candle" (named for the competitive sport within the setting that combines elements of tag and a free-for-all murder spree) was in development, but John Harper stated that the game "didn't come together".

Fallen London, originally Echo Bazaar, is a browser-based interactive narrative game developed by Failbetter Games and set in "Fallen London", an alternative Victorian London with gothic overtones. The franchise subsequently expanded to other games, including "Sunless Sea" and its sequel "Sunless Skies".

Biography.

Son of Abílio da Silva Buíça, parish priest of Vinhais, and Maria Barroso.  Buíça married twice: the first lasted from 1896 to 1898, and his second, to Hermínia Augusta da Costa, with whom he had two children (Elvira and Manuel).  Manuel Buíça had few friends, outside his professional acquaintances, although he was a close colleague of Alfredo Luís da Costa and Aquilino Ribeiro (the latter of whom he referred to in his last testament by name), with whom he mingled at the Café Gelo in the Rossio.  His professional career started with his conscription into the army, where he would achieve the status of second Sergeant, and hold the title of field instructor in shooting, while at the Cavalry Regiment in Bragança. A professional, Buíça also enrolled in the master-at-arms training course, obtaining a medal for first class sharpshooting medallion in the process. Unfortunately, his career in the military was not spotless: there were various infractions and three disciplinary notes in his record.  After the army, Buíça enrolled in courses at the Colégio Nacional, and participated in lessons in music and French.

Elevator coup.

On the night of 28 January 1908 several men were arrested by the police around the Lisbon Municipal Library Elevator. This group of people were later determined to be the principal revolutionaries in an attempted republican coup that was to have effectively occurred on January 28, 1908, but failed. The "Janeirada" (which colloquially means the "January thing"), or more commonly referred to as the Municipal Library Elevator Coup, was an attempted coup to assassinate João Franco, proclaim a republic, and abolish the monarchy (by this, its King, Carlos I of Portugal).  A cell of 20 men, led by Alfredo Luís da Costa, that also included Manuel Buíça, originally were to assault the Royal Palace, but later, strategically modified their assault to the Quartel dos Lóios, and attacked contingents of the Municipal Guard, around the "Rua de Santa Bárbara", until they received word of the "revolution" (from a particular mortar explosion).  The "Janeirada" was planned by members of the Portuguese Republican Party, their enforcers, the Formiga Branca, elements of the Progressive Dissidency Party and the Carbonária, the latter two providing financing, men and arms. In addition to António José de Almeida, there was support from the shadows from Luz de Almeida, the chief of the Carbonária Lusitana, Machado Santos and António Maria da Silva. The decision to murder the King, was not clear, but these instructions were passed on to Costa's group, as part of the coup plans. But, the plans were shelved immediately when, tipped-off by police, João Franco's government began rounding-up the "usual suspects" in militant republican circles. Those that could escape, did so, while others congregated around São Julião's Elevator and were rounded-up by the police en masse. In fact, the limits were limited to the higher-echelon members and leaders of the anti-monarchist movement, while lower level dissidents and thugs were limited to attacks in the Rato, in Alcântara, in the Campo de Santana, and along the "Rua da Escola Politécnica" (where one officer was killed).  The back room of the Café Gelo, then a popular meeting place for republican and Carbonária sympathizers, was empty in the following days, except for Manuel Buíça and Alfredo Costa who had escaped the sweep and were not afraid to be seen.

Assassination.

On the morning of 1 February 1908, Manuel Buíça met with Alfredo Luís da Costa and other Carbonária in Quinta do Xexé, in Olivais, where they finalized the regicide of King Carlos I of Portugal. Around two in the afternoon, Buíça had lunch with Costa and three other conspirators in the corner of the Café Gelo. Near the kitchen, the nook allowed members to converse unnoticed. At the end of their conversations, Buíça got up, mentioning that he was going to ""get the wand"", which likely referred to his Winchester 1907 semi-automatic carbine (serial 2137), which had been exported from Germany by Heitor Ferreira.  By four in the afternoon, Buíça, Domingos Ribeiro, and José Maria Nunes positioned themselves in the Terreiro do Paço, near the statute of King Joseph I and near a tree in front of the Ministry of the Kingdom, alongside a kiosk. Costa, de Lemos, and Ximenes assumed positions below the arcade of the Ministry, and mingled with the population gathered for the king's arrival by boat.  At about 17:20, as the landau rounded the square, Buíça advanced from his position, and from 8–10 metres behind the carriage, he dropped to one knee and fired the first shot. His aim was perfect: the bullet hit Carlos I in the neck, immediately snapping his spine and effectively killing him. His second shot only guaranteed the king's death, but may have been directed to the young Prince Royal seated in front of the King. This second shot clipped the epaulette on the left shoulder of the King, and caused the king to slump to the right. At this time Alfredo Costa jumped on the landau and firing two shots into the back of the king. Buíça moved in and fired at Luís Filipe as the latter was confronting Costa; the first bullet missed, but the second hit him in the face, exiting the cranium.  Buiça however, was not finished, and attempted to move position for another volley, when he was interrupted by Henrique da Silva Valente, a soldier of the 12th Infantry, who was in the square. By then a cavalry officer, Lieutenant Francisco Figueira fired on Buíça, hitting him in the leg. As Buíça attempted to flee, Figueira immobilized him with a shot to the thigh. A police officer finally killed Buíça in the square.

Afterward.

Manuel Buíça was buried on 11 February 1908; three men, members of the Associação do Registo Civil (English: "Association of the Civil Registry") had protested outside the morgue, in order to convince the director to allow them to have a civil funeral. Earlier that day, the autopsy found: a contusion at the top of the cranium, a laceration in his lower back (likely caused by Lieutenant Figueiro's sabre) and a wound to the left breast. This wound was the fatal entry, the bullet clipped the heart and perforated the liver. The recovered bullet was a 6.35 caliber bullet from an automatic pistol, a weapon that was not used by the Portuguese police at the time, fueling speculation that some para-military personnel had killed him.  In the afternoon, his body, along with that of Alfredo Luís da Costa and an innocent bystander (José Sabino), was taken to the cemetery in the Alto de São João. The two assassins' bodies were buried in graves 6044 and 6045, but in 1914, they were exhumed and placed in the local mausoleum. Shortly after their burial, permission was given by the "acclamation" government of Ferreira do Amaral to allow republican sympathizers to visit the graves. These events were organized by the Associação do Registo Civil, which furnished flowers and paid (500 réis per person and 200 réis per child) for those that appeared at the graves. After the 5 October Revolution ushered in a republican government, the Associação do Registo Civil acquired a plot in the cemetery and erected a monument to ""the heroic liberators of the Fatherland"". The monument was eventually dismantled during the Estado Novo, but its elements were never destroyed, but preserved and never replaced.  Around six months before the regicide of King Carlos I and Prince Luís Filipe, Manuel Buíça had become a widower, and his children, ages seven and four years, would be left with their maternal grandmother.  There is a belief, primarily in republican circles, that Buíça was an idealist, whose assassination of the King and Prince Royal was accomplished as a form of justice and honourable duty for the Fatherland. In his final will, dated 28 January 1908, four days before the Lisbon Regicide, he wrote the following:  ""Manuel dos Reis da Silva Buiça, widower, son of Augusto da Silva Buiça and Maria Barroso, resident of Vinhais, concelho of Vinhais, district of Bragança. I am a native of Bouçoais, concelho of Valpaços, district of Vila Real (Trás-os-Montes), married D. Hermínia Augusta da Silva Buíça, daughter of a retired major in the cavalry and D. Maria de Jesus Costa. The major was João Augusto da Costa, widower. My wife left me two children, that I know: Elvira, who was born on 19 December 1900, in "Rua de Santa Marta", bottom floor, and who is not yet baptised nor civilly registered and Manuel who was born on 12 September 1907 in Escadinhas da Mouraria, No. 4, fourth floor and was registered in the administration of the first barrio of Lisbon, on 11 October, in the year above referred." "The witnesses were Albano José Correia, married, employed in commerce and Aquilino Ribeiro, single, publicist. Both my children live with me and their maternal grandmother in Escadinhas da Mouraria, No. 4, 4th floor, left." "My family lives in Vinhaes, where it is likely my death or disappearance, should that be. My children will remain poor; I have nothing to leave them, except my name and my respect and compassion for those who suffer. I plead that they be educated in the principles of liberty, equality and fraternity...and for whom they remain, through providence, in short, orphans." "Lisbon, 28 January 1908. Manuel dos Reis da Silva Buiça. Remember my signature, Rua do Crucifixo, Lisbon."

Manuel dos Reis da Silva Buíça (30 December 1876 – 1 February 1908) was a Portuguese schoolteacher and soldier involved in the regicide of King Carlos I of Portugal and Prince Royal, Luís Filipe, during the events that became known as the Lisbon Regicide.

Manuel Buíça, dont le nom complet était Manuel dos Reis da Silva Buíça (Valpaços, Bouçoães, — Lisbonne, ) fut l'un des tireurs lors du régicide du roi du Portugal, Charles. Ses tirs furent ceux qui touchèrent mortellement le roi et son fils, le prínce Louis-Philippe de Bragance.


History.

Bruckner composed the "Missa solemnis" in 1854 for the installation of Friedrich Mayer as abbot of St. Florian Abbey. The Missa solemnis was performed during the installation of Friedrich Mayer on 14 September 1854. After Robert Führer saw the score, he suggested Bruckner study with Simon Sechter, and after seeing the mass, Sechter accepted Bruckner as a pupil. With the possible exception of Psalm 146, the "Missa solemnis" was the last major work Bruckner wrote before concluding his studies with Sechter, who did not allow his students to compose freely while studying with him.  A second performance of the "Missa solemnis" occurred two years after Bruckner's death, on 4 May 1898 ("Floriani-Tag"), in the St. Florian Abbey under the baton of Regens chori Berhard Deubler. On 29 March 1921, the "Missa solemnis" was performed again by August Göllerich during the seventh concert of the "Linzer Bruckner-Stiftung".

Setting.

Bruckner composed the "Missa solemnis", WAB 29, as a setting of the mass ordinary for vocal soloists (soprano, alto, tenor and bass), mixed choir, orchestra (2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, alto, tenor and bass trombones, timpani, and strings) and organ.  According to Catholic practice – as in Bruckner's previous "Messe für den Gründonnerstag" and his later Mass No. 1 and Mass No. 2 – the first verse of the "Gloria" and the "Credo" is intoned by the priest in Gregorian mode before the choir continues. Unlike Bruckner's earlier "Choral-Messen", the "Gloria" and the "Credo" of the "Missa solemnis" contain the larger text usually associated with these sections of the Mass.  The setting is divided into six main parts: Total duration: about 31 minutes.  "Bruckner's Missa Solemnis is a musical summa of the first thirty years of his life." Stylistically the mass, in the line of Beethoven's orchestral masses, displays Bruckner's confrontation with tradition. In spite of many beautiful details, multiple influences afford the work some heterogeneity in which J. S. Bach's technique of the fugue is "amalgamated" with elements of the Viennese Classical and Preclassical periods, and of the early Romantic (Schubert).  The ""Quoniam"" quotes from Joseph Haydn's "Missa sancti Bernardi von Offida". As in Bruckner's later great masses, the setting of the words ""Et resurrexit"" is preceded by the "old-fashioned rhetorical gesture" of a "rising chromatic figure in "stile agitato" representing the trembling of the earth." This rising chromatic figure is repeated before the "Et expecto resurrectionem mortuorum". Several passages of the "Missa solemnis", particularly the ""Qui tollis"" of the "Gloria" and the central part of the "Credo", prefigure Bruckner's next Mass No. 1 in D minor. Both the "Gloria" and the "Credo" conclude with a fugue.  Robert Simpson finds "nothing mediocre or tentative about this strong and clear work... the music is often of excellent quality... the work, though not perfect, is admirable."

Editions.

The edition by Robert Haas for the "Gesamtausgabe" was based on the copy given to Mayer. During the 1930s Ferdinand Habel changed the text of bars 28–38 of the "Kyrie" and bars 57–58 of the "Gloria" to make the work more usable for Eucharist celebration.  Leopold Nowak rejected these changes in his edition, which also introduced phrasing marks in some violin parts that had not been available to Haas.  On 25 June 2017 a new edition of the score by Cohrs, prepared for the "", was premiered by Łukasz Borowicz with the RIAS Kammerchor and the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin.

Discography.

There are five commercial recordings of the work. The three earlier recordings follow the Haas edition with Habel's text adaptations. Rickenbacker follows the Nowak edition. According to Hans Roelofs, Jürgens' and Rickenbacker's performances are better achieved than the two earlier recordings. Jürgens performs it with religiosity, as a mass, Rickenbacker more strenuously as a concert work.

The Missa solemnis, WAB 29, is a solemn mass composed by Anton Bruckner in 1854 for the installation of Friedrich Mayer as abbot of St. Florian Abbey on 14 September 1854.

History.

The band made its debut with the release of their 2008 EP, "Ambient Blue". In addition to the main release, the band also put out a cover version of Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" as B-sides single to the EP. The song "Silhouettes", off the release, featured Breanne Düren, who then proceeded to join Owl City's live band shortly after being introduced to Young through Tofte. Later that same year, Tofte, along with Düren, provided Young with backing vocals for a few songs on his debut Owl City album, "Maybe I'm Dreaming".  Young departed the band in late 2008 as Owl City's popularity began to increase. Alone, Tofte signed Swimming With Dolphins on to Tooth & Nail Records in mid-2010. About a year later, Tofte released Swimming With Dolphin's first full-length album "Water Colours" under Tooth & Nail in 2011. On August 5, 2011, Swimming With Dolphins uploaded the official music video for the first single off the record, "Sleep To Dream", via YouTube.  After Young's departure, Tofte was joined by Sarah Beintker and Torrie James as part of his live band. Beinker contributed her vocals to the songs "Holiday" and "Sleep To Dream" off "Water Colours". The release also featured the artists Sunsun and Mod Sun (Derek Smith, formerly of Four Letter Lie).  Since 2011, Austin Tofte has released a few singles independently under Swimming With Dolphins and had a successful Indiegogo campaign to fund the project's upcoming album, "Catharsis". In September 2013, Tofte did an interview with Chris Herlihy's weekly syndicated radio show and talked about the release. Also in September, Swimming With Dolphins released a preview of the new album in the form of a single instrumental track, entitled "Tromsø", via SoundCloud. Swimming With Dolphins also posted a video for "Tromsø" via Vimeo around the same time.  According to Tofte in 2014, the album was very near completion. On August 21, Tofte stated that the track listing for the album would be revealed shortly. On August 29, Tofte released the raw rough draft of the track listing for the album as well as the cover art for a single entitled "Summer Skin", which is to be on the album. On September 23, "Summer Skin" was released to Swimming With Dolphins' SoundCloud. On December 18, Tofte announced that a big update on "Catharsis" was to be released soon. On May 1, 2015, Tofte revealed the album art for "Catharsis" as well as its release date of August 4, 2015. Tofte instead released the single "Iron Lungs" instead, saying he needed to "take a step back to recalibrate and determine a new release date" due to the premature announcement.  On January 11, 2016, to celebrate "Iron Lungs" hitting 5,000 streams on SoundCloud, Tofte released a reworked version of "Summer Skin" for the final version of "Catharsis". On May 6, he released a new single, "Let You Love."

Discography.

Studio albums EPs Singles

Swimming With Dolphins is an American electronica band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Austin Tofte and Owl City frontman Adam Young formed the band in 2008, later featuring vocals from Breanne Düren. The name of the band was derived, according to Tofte, from "some old Jacques Cousteau documentaries from the 80s". Though Young was never the front man or lead singer, he performed synths and programming for the act. He also served as the producer of the group.

Pour les chansons, Austin Tofte et Adam Young ont créé des looks cultes. Tofte a pris l'apparence d'un scaphandrier portant une tenue de plongée classique et Young porte un masque de pilote (qui deviendra plus tard le look culte de Sky Sailing).


History.

On 3 March 2013, Leaf Corcoran posted a blog entry to the site "leafo.net" detailing what the website would be about, with a pay-what-you-want model. In an interview with "Rock, Paper, Shotgun", Corcoran said the original idea was not a store but instead a place to "create a customized game homepage". Its name comes from a spare domain that Corcoran had purchased a couple of years prior.  As of June 2015, the service hosted over 15,000 games and programs.  In December 2015, the service announced the release of a desktop application for installing games and other content, as well as keeping existing games and content updated automatically. It was released with simultaneous support for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Today, the Itch app is recommended as "the best way to play your itch.io games".  In support of the George Floyd protests, itch.io organized the Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality in June 2020. It initially launched with over 700 games, but increased to over 1500 as additional developers offered to contribute. In 11 days, the bundle raised $8.1M for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and Community Bail Fund.

Revenue.

The developer can charge money for the games they release onto the platform, and in May 2015, itch.io paid developers. By default, the site takes a 10% cut from each sale, but the developer can choose how much money the site will get per purchase. The developer can set the lowest price for the game (including free), and the customer can pay above that minimum amount if they like the game they are purchasing.

itch.io is a website for users to host, sell and download indie video games. Released in March 2013 by Leaf Corcoran, the service hosts nearly 100,000 games and items as of February 2018.

Format.

The teams were divided into pools of four teams, who played a round-robin within the pool. Points were awarded in each pool on the standard schedule for rugby sevens tournaments (though different from the standard in the 15-man game)—3 for a win, 2 for a draw, 1 for a loss.  Building on the changes made for the 2012 Hong Kong Sevens, in which two separate 12-team competitions were contested, the International Rugby Board (IRB) expanded the event to a total of 28 teams, again divided into two competitions.  The main draw consisted of 16 teams—the same number that were involved in all regular series events. The contestants were the 15 core teams guaranteed of places in each series event, plus Hong Kong, which qualified as winner of the 2012 HSBC Asian Sevens Series. These teams competed in Pools A, B, C, and D. The winners and runners-up from each pool in the main draw qualified for the Cup quarterfinals. The losers of these quarterfinals competed in the Plate semifinals. The remaining 8 teams competed in the Bowl quarterfinals, with the losers of these matches competing in the Shield semifinals.  The second competition was the newly instituted World Series Pre-Qualifier. It featured 12 teams, specifically two qualifiers from each of IRB's six regional sevens competitions. These teams played in Pools E, F, and G. The top two teams from each pool, plus the top two third-place teams, advanced to the knockout stage. The four quarterfinal winners advanced, along with Hong Kong, to the World Series Core Team Qualifier at the 2013 London Sevens.

Life.

Hélène de Portes was born Hélène Rebuffel in 1902, the daughter of, an engineer and director of Société des Grands Travaux de Marseille from 1917 to 1939. She married Count Henri de Portes, but they separated after she had borne him two children. She became Paul Reynaud's mistress in 1930, the year Reynaud entered the cabinet.

Reynaud's premiership.

As Reynaud rose in the 1930s through the upper ranks of his party, the Democratic Republican Alliance, de Portes' status moved upwards with him. She was described by insiders as "la porte à côté", the "side door" through which interested persons could gain access to the state of mind of the highest echelon of the French government.  As the power of Nazi Germany grew, Reynaud was identified by many French voters and deputies as a strong voice of resistance to Germany. He became Minister of Finance in 1938 and on 21 March 1940, after the German occupation of Poland, became Prime Minister of France. As such, he led a government whose status depended on its alliance with the United Kingdom. However, while the French alliance with England was strategic policy from the standpoint of the fight against Hitler, the alliance was obnoxious to the Countess, who has been described as "so violently anti-British that Hitler had once sent an emissary to woo her favours."  Reynaud's ability to lead his government against the Axis was compromised by his partner, who was on terms of friendship with the ambassadors from Mussolini's Italy and Hitler's Germany.

Battle of France.

After the catastrophic Battle of Sedan, the French forces and the government were forced to fall back from Paris. On 10–13 June 1940, Reynaud tried to re-establish his government at Tours. To reorganize the forces, he opened intensive negotiations on 12 June with General Charles de Gaulle, but Hélène de Portes personally intervened in their discussion and threw a temper tantrum, in their presence, at the prospect of what she considered to be futile further warfare. De Portes had a particular antipathy towards Winston Churchill and, according to his bodyguard Walter Thompson, actually lunged at Churchill's throat with a knife she had concealed within her Christian Dior dress.  As the French front continued to collapse, Reynaud, his government and his mistress briefly relocated at the Hotel Splendid, Bordeaux on 15 June. De Portes intensified her efforts to persuade her partner to offer terms of surrender, going to the length of intriguing with a key diplomat from the United States of America. The disgusted envoy later recalled that "I don't think her role in encouraging the defeatist elements during Reynaud's critical last days as prime minister should be underestimated. She spent an hour weeping in my office to get us to urge Reynaud to ask for an armistice."  Hélène de Portes' final intervention on 16 June was aimed at the last-ditch plan, strongly supported by Winston Churchill and Jean Monnet, to merge France and the United Kingdom into an emergency Franco-British Union. The document to create the Union was meant to be presented to the French Cabinet that evening as an alternative to requesting an armistice, but de Portes entered the stenographer's room where the document was being typed, read it, and then left to spread its contents among the Cabinet ministers who were leaning toward defeatism. Forewarned, the Cabinet rejected both the Union and Reynaud's government. The beaten premier resigned that evening.

Death.

Now private citizens (de Portes' title of Countess, which she had assumed with her marriage, had no legal standing in the Third Republic), Reynaud and de Portes left Bordeaux, driving southeast, away from the advancing German armies, intending to stop at Reynaud's holiday home at Grès, Herault, before fleeing to North Africa. On 28 June, with Reynaud at the wheel, their car inexplicably left the road and hit a plane tree at La Peyrade, between Frontignan and Sète; de Portes was all but decapitated, while Reynaud escaped with relatively minor head injuries. Hospitalized at Montpellier, Reynaud was arrested on his discharge and imprisoned for the rest of the war. At about the same time, French diplomat was apprehended by police in Madrid while in possession of a diplomatic bag containing gold and jewellery destined for de Portes' children evacuated to the USA. The affair was used as propaganda by the Vichy government to further discredit the Third Republic.

Epitaphs.

The British journalist Noel Barber characterized Hélène as follows: The most powerful woman in France, she exercised a malign influence on the destinies of her country.  The American journalist and author Vincent Sheean added: She was not chic, she was not charming, and she was not intelligent. Reynaud was used to her, depended on her, needed her: that was all.

Depictions.

Hélène de Portes is portrayed in Jean Marboeuf's 1993 film by Frédérique Tirmont. She was also the basis of the fictionalized character "Baronne de Porte" in Dennis Wheatley's novel, "The Black Baroness".

Hélène de Portes, born Hélène Rebuffel, (1902-28 June 1940), was a Frenchwoman best remembered for the strong influence she exerted on her lover Paul Reynaud, premier of France under the Third Republic, shortly before and at the time France's June 1940 debacle at the hands of Nazi Germany. A Fascist sympathizer, she was described as '..a middle aged woman, with a shrill voice, and a clamorous, demanding manner, who chatted like a magpie and lost her temper with ease.' Charles de Gaulle called her 'a turkey', while Winston Churchill nicknamed her 'the parrot'.

Gameplay.

The game features online and offline single player and multiplayer modes in the form of both player versus player and player versus environment experiences.  Players take turns to manipulate units on a battle map with the objective of eliminating their rivals' most important unit, the wizard. If a player loses their wizard, they lose the match and all of their units are removed from the battle map. By casting spells the wizard can create new units, equip themselves with weapons, or directly attack another unit.  The single-player campaign and Realm Quest mode are a narrative game world map overlay linking together a series of battles culminating in a boss battle with the player(s) pitted against a wizard king unit and a wizard unit. The mode introduces both strategy game and role-playing game elements such as capturing infrastructure, sending units to a target, hiring mercenary units to accompany the wizard unit, and resolving story driven elements.  Each match can involve the player controlling a number of creature units based upon mythical and real-life animals and supernatural beings. The player may start with these creature units by using mercenaries or villagers, or add creature units per turn by casting a spell to summon them. Many of these creature units also have abilities to distinguish them from others in a more tangible way than merely by differing values such as attack rating.

"Duel Mode" and "Forge Crystals" expansion.

On 25 July 2016, Snapshot Games released version 1.10 adding the new features "Duel Mode" and "Forge Crystals." The Duel Mode of play created a single one-button click method of starting a battle against either a human or AI opponent, depending upon which was available. Winning unbroken Duels resulted in the player receiving escalating rewards in the form of Gold and Forge Crystals plus, once per day, a Talisman. The Forge Crystals could then be spent in the now unlocked to all players Equipment Forge allowing many for the first time to personalise their game character's appearance and create custom Bodygear and Staffs.

"Chaos Reborn: Adventures".

On September 12, 2018, mobile game developer Big Blue Bubble released a mobile port of "Chaos Reborn" entitled "Chaos Reborn: Adventures". The game was praised by critics, receiving a gold rating by Pocket Gamer and a 5 star rating by Pocket Tactics.

Reception.

The game was well received, and was given a score of 85/100 on review aggregation website Metacritic. "PC Gamer" awarded it a score of 87%, saying "A true wizard’s wheeze, and a fine return for one of gaming’s oldest tactical classics." It was subsequently nominated for a Golden Joystick Award in the 2015 Best Indie Game category, losing out to "Kerbal Space Program".

Chaos Reborn is a turn-based tactical role-playing game developed by Snapshot Games and was part funded through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign in April 2014. Following an early access release in December 2014, the full game was released in October 2015.

Early life and education.

Annie Ruth Baeta was born on 7 October 1918 in Lomé, French Togoland. Her parents were schoolteacher, Henrietta Baëta and Presbyterian minister, Robert Domingo Baëta. She belonged to the Ewe ethnic group of southeastern Ghana and Togo. A member of the notable Baëta family, she was one of eight children, though only Annie and her siblings Christian, Lily, and William lived to adulthood. Her older brother, Christian Baëta was an academic and Presbyterian minister who was elected the Synod Clerk of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of the Gold Coast from 1945 to 1949 and was instrumental in the establishment of the University of Ghana, Legon in 1948. Her parents wanted her to have an English education and she lived in the coastal town of Keta (then in British Togoland) with her maternal grandmother.  Baeta attended Achimota College and earned her teacher's certificate in 1937. She was Headmistress and Schoolteacher at the Evangelical Presbyterian Girls School from 1940 to 1946. After the buildings of the Evangelical Presbyterian School for Girls were washed away by the ocean in 1940, the girls were moved to the Evangelical Presbyterian School for Boys. The school was overcrowded, and Baeta knew it would be difficult to find funding for new buildings. She approached the Evangelical Presbyterian Church Choir and transformed it into a drama group that put on the George F. Rool musical "David the Shepherd Boy". The performances were successful and the group was invited to perform in major Gold Coast cities and in Togo. Baeta was able to raise funds for a new school for the girls that was built by December 1945.

Studies in London.

Baeta's time with the Evangelical Presbyterian Girls School was fulfilling but left her restless. She passed the London Matriculation Examination in 1945. Her elder brother Christian made inquiries to the University of London on her behalf and her mother secured loans for her. She was admitted to the London School of Economics and Political Science in 1946. Her male colleagues from the Gold Coast urged her to abandon her studies, thinking them too difficult for a woman. One offered to arrange a position for her at the Paris Academy to study dress design. She told them she would return to the Gold Coast if she didn't pass her first examination. She passed, and was no longer bothered by the men. She received her LLB in 1949 and was called to the Bar at Lincoln's Inn the following year. Baëta also participated in religious and social work during her free time in London. She worked with youth camps organised by the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) and was elected to the Executive Committee of the World YWCA during her final years as a student.

Legal career, women's rights activism and legacy.

Baeta established a private practice upon her return to the Gold Coast in 1950. She led a public relations initiative to establish a national YWCA for the colony and a documentary film was produced as part of the drive to educate the public about the organisation. Baeta married Fred Jiagge on 10 January 1953. She gave up the Bar and became a magistrate for the Bench in June 1953. In 1954, she began regularly attending the conferences of the World Council of Churches. From 1955 to 1960, she was president of the YWCA. She and her husband adopted a child, Rheinhold, in 1959. In 1959, she became a judge for the Circuit Court.  After learning of a young woman who was raped in Accra after coming there from the countryside for a job interview, Jiagge sought government assistance to provide safe accommodations for visiting women. She secured an audience with Ghanaian president Kwame Nkrumah and convinced him of the project's importance. She spearheaded a successful campaign in 1961 that raised substantial funds for a YWCA women's hostel. That year she became a judge of the High Court of Justice. From 1961 to 1976 she was a council member of the University of Ghana. In 1962 she was appointed to represent Ghana on the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. She was asked to chair the Commission to Investigate the Assets of Senior Public Servants and Named Political Leaders in 1966. She championed women's rights through her work at the United Nations, representing Ghana through 1972. In 1966, she was elected rapporteur of the Commission. During a meeting in Iran in 1967, the Commission was charged with preparing a document on the elimination of discrimination against women. Worried that a draft wouldn't be finished by the time they left Iran, Jiagge met other members of the team, including Iranian Princess Ashraf Pahlavi, and drafted the document in a single night. It was sent to UN member-states for comment and was later adopted. The Declaration was an important precursor to the legally binding 1979 Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. Jiagge was elected chair of the Commission's 21st session in 1968.  Jiagge was awarded the Grand Medal of Ghana and the Gimbles International Award for Humanitarian Works in 1969. She was named a judge of the Court of Appeal that same year, the highest court in Ghana at the time. She was the first female judge of the Court of Appeal. She was awarded an honorary law degree from the University of Ghana in 1974. In 1975, she founded the Ghana National Council on Women and Development and was its first chair. As chair, she convened a meeting of Ghanaian women to learn their views on Equality, Development and Peace, the theme of the 1975 International Women's Conference in Mexico. She learned that access to credit was a priority for her country's women and led Ghana's delegation to the conference. She and others pledged seed money for a women's bank, and the organisation Stitching to Promote Women's World Banking (now Women's World Banking) was founded and headquartered in New York. She later served on the board of Women's World Banking in Ghana. Jiagge also served as a president of the World Council of Churches from 1975 to 1983. In 1979, she was a member of the constituent assembly which wrote the constitution of the Ghana's Third Republic. She was the World Council of Churches' moderator for their Programme to Combat Racism from 1984 to 1991 and mobilised against South Africa's system of apartheid.  Jiagge was appointed President of the Court of Appeal in 1980. That year she led the Ghanaian delegation again to the International Women's Conference in Copenhagen. She remained President of the Court of Appeal until her retirement in 1983. She helped plan the Fourth World Conference on Women as a member of the UN Secretary-General's advisory group that year. In 1985 she served on a United Nations panel that conducted Public Hearings on the Activities of Transnational Corporations in South Africa and Namibia. She also served on the Committee of Experts who drafted Ghana's Constitution in 1991.  From 1993 until her death, Jiagge served on Ghana's Council of State. She died on 12 June 1996 in Accra. The Justice Annie Jiagge Memorial Lectures were established by the Ministry of Women and Children in 2009. A boarding house, the "Annie Baëta Jiagge House," formerly, "House 17," at her alma mater, Achimota School was named in her memory in recognition of her role as a trailblazer in the legal profession in Ghana.

Annie Ruth Jiagge, (née Baëta; 7 October 1918 – 12 June 1996), also known as Annie Baëta Jiagge"," was a Ghanaian lawyer, judge and women's rights activist. The first Ghanaian woman to become a lawyer, she was also the first woman in Ghana and the Commonwealth of Nations to become a judge. She was a principal drafter of the Declaration on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women and a co-founder of the organisation that became Women's World Banking.

Gameplay.

"The OneeChanbara" series puts players in control of a lone girl (or in later games, two girls with the ability to tag out) against a legion of the undead. Players guide their characters through the stages, completing tasks while hacking through enemies. The player-character's weapon becomes progressively covered in blood, causing their attacks to be slower and to inflict less damage, even getting stuck in enemies if it gets too bad. This is represented by a "Blood Meter" showing how dirty the weapon is. To prevent this, players must actively clean off their sword to keep the blood meter from filling up.  In addition, there is also the "Blood Lust" meter. As a character kills enemies, this meter starts to fill. Once the meter is full, the character will go into a "blood frenzy". This gives the character an increase in attack power, but drains health. To recover from a blood frenzy, the player must use statue items, which are dropped by dead enemies. Additionally each level will contain a large statue. Going to the large statue will remove the blood frenzy and also recover any lost health.  Unlike the stereotypical zombies, most of the undead encountered in this game series are not automatically killed by decapitation; some would continue to attack even after losing their upper torsos. This is briefly explained in OneChanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers by the notion that, while humans killed due to infection with bodily fluids of the undead will be zombified, most undead are not re-animated corpses but are merely made by some supernatural power that created them to look similar to humans.

Series.

"The OneeChanbara" series includes several upgrades and sequels that have been released since the original game: Aya, the series' main character, has also appeared in "Simple 2000 Series Vol. 91: The All*Star Kakutou Matsuri" (released as "All-Star Fighters" in Europe in March 2007 ), a fighting game featuring characters from many different Simple 2000 series releases. Saki has been featured in a cell phone D3 fighting game as well.  A set of 6 (8 if the 2 secret variations are counted) official gashapons was released in Japan on January 4, 2007 by Yujin. The set consists of characters from the series, including Aya and Saki from the first game, Reiko and Riho from the third and fourth games respectively, and Aya and Saki from the mobile game.

Live-action film.

The live-action film adaption of "OneeChanbara" was made starring Eri Otoguro, Manami Hashimoto, and Tomohiro Waki base. It was directed by Yohei Fukuda, and the executive producers on the film were Hideki Tsujhata, Takafumi Ohashi, and Shunsuke Yamada. The extended version of this film under the title "OneChanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers" was released on DVD in Japan on July 3, 2009. The theme song is 69 Balloons by Aural Vampire.

Théorème de Fermat sur les points stationnaires

Statement.

One way to state Fermat's theorem is that, if a function has a local extremum at some point and is differentiable there, then the function's derivative at that point must be zero. In precise mathematical language:  Another way to understand the theorem is via the contrapositive statement: if the derivative of a function at any point is not zero, then there is not a local extremum at that point. Formally:

Corollary.

The global extrema of a function "f" on a domain "A" occur only at boundaries, non-differentiable points, and stationary points. If formula_13 is a global extremum of "f", then one of the following is true:

Extension.

In higher dimensions, exactly the same statement holds; however, the proof is slightly more complicated. The complication is that in 1 dimension, one can either move left or right from a point, while in higher dimensions, one can move in many directions. Thus, if the derivative does not vanish, one must argue that there is "some" direction in which the function increases – and thus in the opposite direction the function decreases. This is the only change to the proof or the analysis.  The statement can also be extended to differentiable manifolds. If formula_19 is a differentiable function on a manifold formula_20, then its local extrema must be critical points of formula_6, in particular points where the exterior derivative formula_22 is zero.

Applications.

Fermat's theorem is central to the calculus method of determining maxima and minima: in one dimension, one can find extrema by simply computing the stationary points (by computing the zeros of the derivative), the non-differentiable points, and the boundary points, and then investigating this set to determine the extrema.  One can do this either by evaluating the function at each point and taking the maximum, or by analyzing the derivatives further, using the first derivative test, the second derivative test, or the higher-order derivative test.

Intuitive argument.

Intuitively, a differentiable function is approximated by its derivative – a differentiable function behaves infinitesimally like a linear function formula_23 or more precisely, formula_24 Thus, from the perspective that "if "f" is differentiable and has non-vanishing derivative at formula_25 then it does not attain an extremum at formula_25" the intuition is that if the derivative at formula_13 is positive, the function is "increasing" near formula_25 while if the derivative is negative, the function is "decreasing" near formula_29 In both cases, it cannot attain a maximum or minimum, because its value is changing. It can only attain a maximum or minimum if it "stops" – if the derivative vanishes (or if it is not differentiable, or if one runs into the boundary and cannot continue). However, making "behaves like a linear function" precise requires careful analytic proof.  More precisely, the intuition can be stated as: if the derivative is positive, there is "some point" to the right of formula_13 where "f" is greater, and "some point" to the left of formula_13 where "f" is less, and thus "f" attains neither a maximum nor a minimum at formula_29 Conversely, if the derivative is negative, there is a point to the right which is lesser, and a point to the left which is greater. Stated this way, the proof is just translating this into equations and verifying "how much greater or less".  The intuition is based on the behavior of polynomial functions. Assume that function "f" has a maximum at "x", the reasoning being similar for a function minimum. If formula_33 is a local maximum then, roughly, there is a (possibly small) neighborhood of formula_8 such as the function "is increasing before" and "decreasing after" formula_8. As the derivative is positive for an increasing function and negative for a decreasing function, formula_2 is positive before and negative after formula_8. formula_2 doesn't skip values (by Darboux's theorem), so it has to be zero at some point between the positive and negative values. The only point in the neighbourhood where it is possible to have formula_39 is formula_8.  The theorem (and its proof below) is more general than the intuition in that it doesn't require the function to be differentiable over a neighbourhood around formula_8. It is sufficient for the function to be differentiable only in the extreme point.

Proof.

Proof 1: Non-vanishing derivatives implies not extremum.

Suppose that "f" is differentiable at formula_42 with derivative "K," and assume without loss of generality that formula_43 so the tangent line at formula_13 has positive slope (is increasing). Then there is a neighborhood of formula_13 on which the secant lines through formula_13 all have positive slope, and thus to the right of formula_25 "f" is greater, and to the left of formula_25 "f" is lesser.  The schematic of the proof is:  Formally, by the definition of derivative, formula_52 means that In particular, for sufficiently small formula_54 (less than some formula_55), the fraction must be at least formula_56 by the definition of limit. Thus on the interval formula_57 one has: one has replaced the "equality" in the limit (an infinitesimal statement) with an "inequality" on a neighborhood (a local statement). Thus, rearranging the equation, if formula_59 then: so on the interval to the right, "f" is greater than formula_61 and if formula_62 then: so on the interval to the left, "f" is less than formula_64  Thus formula_13 is not a local or global maximum or minimum of "f."

Proof 2: Extremum implies derivative vanishes.

Alternatively, one can start by assuming that formula_8 is a local maximum, and then prove that the derivative is 0.  Suppose that formula_8 is a local maximum (a similar proof applies if formula_8 is a local minimum). Then there formula_69 such that formula_70 and such that we have formula_71 with formula_72. Hence for any formula_73 we notice that it holds  Since the limit of this ratio as formula_75 gets close to 0 from above exists and is equal to formula_76 we conclude that formula_77. On the other hand, for formula_78 we notice that  but again the limit as formula_75 gets close to 0 from below exists and is equal to formula_76 so we also have formula_82.  Hence we conclude that formula_83

Cautions.

A subtle misconception that is often held in the context of Fermat's theorem is to assume that it makes a stronger statement about local behavior than it does. Notably, Fermat's theorem does "not" say that functions (monotonically) "increase up to" or "decrease down from" a local maximum. This is very similar to the misconception that a limit means "monotonically getting closer to a point". For "well-behaved functions" (which here mean continuously differentiable), some intuitions hold, but in general functions may be ill-behaved, as illustrated below. The moral is that derivatives determine "infinitesimal" behavior, and that "continuous" derivatives determine "local" behavior.

Continuously differentiable functions.

If "f" is continuously differentiable formula_84 on an open neighborhood of the point formula_13, then formula_86 does mean that "f" is increasing on a neighborhood of formula_25 as follows.  If formula_88 and formula_89 then by continuity of the derivative, there is some formula_90 such that formula_91 formula_92. Then "f" is increasing on this interval, by the mean value theorem: the slope of any secant line is at least formula_56 as it equals the slope of some tangent line.  However, in the general statement of Fermat's theorem, where one is only given that the derivative "at" formula_13 is positive, one can only conclude that secant lines "through" formula_13 will have positive slope, for secant lines between formula_13 and near enough points.  Conversely, if the derivative of "f" at a point is zero (formula_13 is a stationary point), one cannot in general conclude anything about the local behavior of "f" – it may increase to one side and decrease to the other (as in formula_98), increase to both sides (as in formula_99), decrease to both sides (as in formula_100), or behave in more complicated ways, such as oscillating (as in formula_101, as discussed below).  One can analyze the infinitesimal behavior via the second derivative test and higher-order derivative test, if the function is differentiable enough, and if the first non-vanishing derivative at formula_13 is a continuous function, one can then conclude local behavior (i.e., if formula_103 is the first non-vanishing derivative, and formula_104 is continuous, so formula_105), then one can treat "f" as locally close to a polynomial of degree "k," since it behaves approximately as formula_106 but if the "k"-th derivative is not continuous, one cannot draw such conclusions, and it may behave rather differently.

Pathological functions.

Consider the function formula_107 – it oscillates increasingly rapidly between formula_108 and formula_109 as "x" approaches 0. Consider then formula_110 – this oscillates increasingly rapidly between 0 and formula_111 as "x" approaches 0. If one extends this function by formula_112 then the function is continuous and everywhere differentiable (it is differentiable at 0 with derivative 0), but has rather unexpected behavior near 0: in any neighborhood of 0 it attains 0 infinitely many times, but also equals formula_111 (a positive number) infinitely often.  Continuing in this vein, formula_114 oscillates between formula_115 and formula_116 and formula_117 is a local and global minimum, but on no neighborhood of 0 is it decreasing down to or increasing up from 0 – it oscillates wildly near 0.  This pathology can be understood because, while the function is everywhere differentiable, it is not "continuously" differentiable: the limit of formula_118 as formula_119 does not exist, so the derivative is not continuous at 0. This reflects the oscillation between increasing and decreasing values as it approaches 0.

In mathematics, Fermat's theorem (also known as interior extremum theorem) is a method to find local maxima and minima of differentiable functions on open sets by showing that every local extremum of the function is a stationary point (the function derivative is zero at that point). Fermat's theorem is a theorem in real analysis, named after Pierre de Fermat.

Early life.

He was born on at 4:00 pm. Monday 10 December 1917, Tengku Yahya Petra at Istana Kota Lama, Sungai Kelantan, in Kota Bharu. He was the second son of Sultan Ibrahim ibni Almarhum Sultan Muhammad IV (b. 1897; reigned 1944–1960) by his third wife, "Cik" Embong binti "Encik" Daud (1899–1971), who was later promoted to the style "Che Ampuan Besar" by her son.  The young Tengku Yahya Petra was raised by his childless uncle, Tengku Ismail, later Sultan Ismail ibni Almarhum Sultan Muhammad IV. He was sent to the Francis Light School in Penang before continuing his studies in England. His uncle, Sultan Ismail, appointed him "Tengku Temenggong" on 21 July 1939. He was later promoted to "Tengku Bendahara" on 6 February 1945 by his father, then Sultan Ibrahim. He served in various Kelantan civil service posts from 1941 to 1948.

Kelantan succession dispute.

Tengku Indra Petra was the eldest son of Sultan Ibrahim and elder brother of Tengku Yahya Petra. After Sultan Ibrahim succeeded his childless brother Sultan Ismail, Tengku Indra Petra was appointed heir apparent with the title of "Raja Muda" on 25 October 1944. However, due to conflict with his father, he was dismissed from the post and removed from the line of succession by his father's decree on 1 February 1948. On the same day, Tengku Yahya Petra replaced his brother as heir apparent with the new title of "Tengku Mahkota".  Tengku Indra Petra became a politician and was elected a Member of Parliament (MP) in the first federal legislative election of 1955. Tengku Indra's descendants have since disputed their family's exclusion from the line succession of the Kelantan throne.  Tengku Indra Petra did not preside over the installation of Sultan Yahya Petra's successor, Sultan Ismail Petra, It was Tengku Panglima Raja Tengku Ahmad who presided over installations of Sultan Ibrahim, Sultan Yahya Petra and Sultan Ismail Petra. Tengku Panglima Raja was the father of the former Sultanah of Johor, Sultanah Zanariah binti Tengku Ahmad.

Accession.

Sultan Yahya Petra (as he became) succeeded his father a day after the latter's death on 9 July 1960. He was crowned on 17 July 1961 at Istana Balai Besar in Kota Bharu.

Election as Deputy Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

Sultan Yahya Petra served as Deputy Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the federal deputy king between 21 September 1970 until 20 September 1975.

Election as Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

During the election of the sixth Yang di-Pertuan Agong (the federal king), the most senior ruler Sultan Ismail of Johor declined to be considered. Sultan Yahya Petra also declined nomination at first due to having suffered a serious stroke, but changed his mind and was duly elected. His term began from 21 September 1975.

Kingship.

Malaysia's second prime minister Tun Abdul Razak died on 14 January 1976 less than four months into Sultan Yahya Petra's reign as Yang di-Pertuan Agong.  In 1977 a state of emergency was declared in his state following a political crisis and violence.

Death and funeral.

Sultan Yahya Petra died in his sleep of an apparent heart attack at the National Palace on 29 March 1979. His coffin lay in state at the National Palace for a day and was then taken by plane to Kota Bharu where it was buried at the Langgar Royal Mausoleum.

Family life.

He was married to Tengku Zainab binti Tengku Sri Utama Raja Tengku Muhammad Petra (1917–1993), who was styled "Raja Perempuan" Zainab II (her stepmother-in-law was Raja Perempuan Zainab I, consort of Sultan Ibrahim) and Raja Permaisuri Agong. Sultan Yahya Petra and Raja Perempuan Zainab II had one son and six daughters. However, their two daughters passed away when they were young. He also married Tengku Alexandria binti Tengku Yusuf and was given a son.

Awards and recognitions.

Sultan Yahya Petra held the rank of Marshal of the Royal Malaysian Air Force.

Places named after him.

Several places were named after him, including:

Sultan Yahya Petra ibni Almarhum Sultan Ibrahim, GCMG, (Jawi:z سلطان يحي ڤيترا ابن المرحوم سلطان إبراهيم;z10 December 1917 – 29 March 1979) was the sixth Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King) of Malaysia from 21 September 1975 to his death, and twelfth (by some reckoning tenth) Sultan of Kelantan (1960–1979).

Yahya Petra, né le à Kota Bharu et mort le dans la même ville, est sultan de l'État de Kelantan de 1960 à sa mort et roi de Malaisie de 1975 à sa mort.


Early life.

Fletcher was born in Nairobi, where his father was a civil servant. When his father was terminally ill he returned to England at the age of five with the rest of his family. He lived with his grandparents in Shepherd's Bush in West London, before being evacuated in 1939 to Christ's Hospital in Horsham.  He studied at the Hammersmith School of Art from 1949, then at the Central School of Art, where he studied under noted typographer Anthony Froshaug and befriended Colin Forbes, Terence Conran, David Hicks, Peter Firmin, Theo Crosby, Derek Birdsall and Ken Garland. After a year teaching English at Berlitz Language School in Barcelona, he returned to London to study at the Royal College of Art from 1953 to 1956, where he met Peter Blake, Joe Tilson, Len Deighton, Denis Bailey, David Gentleman and Dick Smith.  He married Paola Biagi, an Italian national, in 1956 (they met with a heated discussion about if orange and pink were a good or bad colour pair). He then took up a scholarship to study at the Yale School of Art and Architecture at Yale University, under Alvin Eisenman, Norman Ives, Herbert Matter, Bradbury Thompson, Josef Albers and Paul Rand. He visited Robert Brownjohn, Ivan Chermayeff and Tom Geismar in New York, became friends with Bob Gill, and was commissioned by Leo Lionni to design a cover for Fortune magazine in 1958. After a visit to Venezuela, he returned to London in 1959, having worked briefly for Saul Bass in Los Angeles and Pirelli in Milan.

Professional career.

He founded a design firm called 'Fletcher/Forbes/Gill' with Colin Forbes and Bob Gill in 1962. An early product was their 1963 book "Graphic Design: A Visual Comparison" in John Lewis's Studio Paperbacks series.  Clients included Pirelli, Cunard, Penguin Books and Olivetti. Gill left the partnership in 1965 and was replaced by Theo Crosby, so the firm became Crosby/Fletcher/Forbes. Two new partners joined, and the partnership evolved into Pentagram in 1972, with Forbes, Crosby, Kenneth Grange and Mervyn Kurlansky, with clients including Lloyd's of London and Daimler Benz.  Much of his work is still in use: a logo for Reuters made up of 84 dots, which he created in 1965, was retired in 1992, but his 1989 "V&A" logo for Victoria and Albert Museum, and his "IoD" logo for the Institute of Directors remain in use. In last years he designed the logo for the Italian School of Architecture "Facolta' di Architettura di Alghero", (University of Sassari). In 1962, he co-founded British Design & Art Direction, along with David Bailey, Terence Donovan, which was later renamed Designers and Art Directors Association (D&AD).  He left Pentagram in 1992, and worked from the home in Notting Hill that he had occupied since the early 1960s, where he was assisted by his daughter Raffaella Fletcher, Leah Klein and Sarah Copplestone, and worked for new clients, such as Novartis. Much of his later work was as art director for the publisher Phaidon Press, which he joined in 1993. For him, life and work were inseparable: "Design is not a thing you do. It's a way of life." (quoted in his obituary in "The Times"). He would continue working, even on holiday, drawing on a notepad with a pencil.  A book of his designs, "Beware Wet Paint", was published by Jeremy Myerson in 1994. Fletcher also wrote several books about graphic design and visual thinking, most notably "The Art of Looking Sideways" (2001), which had taken him 18 years to finish.  An exhibition of his life's work was displayed at the Design Museum in London between 11 November 2006 until 18 February 2007, alongside the posthumous publication of a book, "Picturing and Poeting". The exhibition went on tour in 2008. It was installed at the Ginza Graphic Gallery in Tokyo between 9 and 31 May 2008, and was installed at the Pitzhanger Manor Gallery in Ealing, West London, between 14 November 2008 and 3 January 2009.  He won the 1993 Prince Philip Designers Prize given by the Design Council, was President of the D&AD (Designers and Art Directors Association) in 1973 and International President of the Alliance Graphique Internationale from 1982 to 1985. He was elected to the Hall of Fame of the New York Art Directors Club in 1994, was a senior fellow of the Royal College of Art in 1989 and became an honorary fellow of the London Institute in 2000.  The December 2006 limited-edition cover of Wallpaper* magazine featured one of his last works omitting his calligraphic signature in the compliments slip accompanying his completed work for he was too frail by then.  He died of cancer in London, and is survived by his wife and daughter.

Alan Gerard Fletcher (27 September 1931 – 21 September 2006) was a British graphic designer. In his obituary, he was described by "The Daily Telegraph" as "the most highly regarded graphic designer of his generation, and probably one of the most prolific".
