47791786 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windmill%20at%20Wijk%20bij%20Duurstede | Windmill at Wijk bij Duurstede | The Windmill of Wijk bij Duurstede (c. 1670) is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch painter Jacob van Ruisdael. It is an example of Dutch Golden Age painting and is now in the collection of the Amsterdam Museum, on loan to the Rijksmuseum.
Subject, date, and provenance
The painting shows Wijk bij Duurstede, a riverside town about 20 kilometers from Utrecht, with a dominating cylindrical windmill, harmonised by the lines of river bank and sails, and the contrasts between light and shadow working together with the intensified concentration of mass and space. The attention to detail is remarkable. Art historian Seymour Slive reports that both from an aeronautical engineering and a hydrological viewpoint the finest levels of details are correct, in the windmill's sails and the river's waves respectively.
It is not known for certain when Ruisdael painted the Windmill. The painting is not dated, as very few of his works are after 1653. Dating subsequent work has therefore been largely detective work and speculation. It is assumed that it was painted in 1670.
Unlike many other Ruisdaels the Windmill seems to have remained in Dutch hands. It was acquired by Adriaan van der Hoop at an unknown date, and bequeathed by him to the new Amsterdam Museum in 1854. Since 30 June 1885 it has been on loan to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Its enduring popularity is evidenced by card sales at the Rijksmuseum, with the Windmill ranking third after Rembrandt's Night Watch and Vermeer's View of Delft.
The other windmill at Wijk bij Duurstede
Ruisdael's windmill no longer stands, although its foundations can still be seen. Another windmill located a few hundred meters further is often confused with Ruisdael's. This confusion was created in 1911 when Hofstede de Groot wrote about the painting:
Similar paintings
This scene is similar to other Ruisdael panoramas of (unidentified) windmills. Ruisdael's work inspired later landscape painters such as John Constable.

Huishu is called "the green hills of the rising sun" and also "North Indo-Myanmar border corridor" of Manipur.
The village is about from the district headquarter, Ukhrul, and about from the pillar 125 on the Indo-Myanmar border. The village is partially connected by the national highway 202 Imphal-Kohima road via Jessami. The inhabitants speak Huishu dialect originated from the family of Tibeto-Burman language as well as Tangkhul, a lingua franca of the Tangkhul Naga Tribe.
The village basically comprises three mountain ranges, namely Salivi mountain in the east, Zingshan mountain in the west and the Wanchai river confluence range in the south. The great Zingshan mountain comprises two parallel ranges interspersed with Wangchai river confluence in the south extending up to Larang range bordering Khamasom village in the south through which immediately connects to Salivi mountain range in the east and Loli range in the north which directly connects Huishu-Poi boundary through a narrow stream Narukhu extending to Salivi mountain.
The land has rich water and forest resources and is a fertile area. Rambu hill, Ouhao hill, Zingshan mountain and Thurekakacho hill located on the right bank of the Huishu river are the main tourists destinations.
The climate may be broadly described as sub-tropical monsoon type. The coldest months are December and January, when temperatures average around 10-15C (50-59F) while the hottest months are April and May.
Population
At the 2011 census, Huishu had 201 households with a population of 1,018 (519 male, 499 female). 133 were in the age group 0–6 years. The sex ratio was 961 females to 1,000 males, lower than the state average of 985. The literacy rate was 87.91%. Male literacy was 93.36% and female 82.22%.
The village is home to people of the Tangkhul Naga tribe. Most inhabitants are Christians. Agriculture is the primary occupation.
Conflict
Being close to the porous international boundary with Myanmar, the village was the strategic transit point for militant groups to move between India and Myanmmar. Before the signing of the cease-fire agreement between the NSCN (IM) and the Government of India in 1997, the village was burned down by the Indian Army in retaliation for attacks made on them by the militants on several occasions, the most devastating being on 11 March 1996 when the whole village, including the granaries, was burnt to the ground by the Indian army after its camp was annihilated by the NSCN (IM). Some villagers were also reportedly shot dead, both in custody and in fake encounters, and many were tortured.

History
In 1986, the Hiranandani group signed a tripartite agreement between the group, Maharashtra state and the MMRDA for developing 230 acres of land and for constructing affordable housing. The contract was signed at the rate of per acre. As per the contract, the real estate developer was to construct apartments measuring 430 ft2 and 861 ft2 (50% each) as "Medium Income Group Homes" (affordable housing).
Construction started in 1989 and the area then was barren and hilly. The area lacked basic infrastructure such as roads, sanitary sewer lines, water or electrical connections. Along with developing the basic infrastructure, more than 100,000 trees were also planted. By the early 1990s the first phase of apartments were ready and were initially sold at the rate of per ft2. In the late 1990s, the construction and the architecture strategy was changed from "affordable" to upmarket housing and the neoclassical architecture was adapted as theme for upcoming buildings. By the mid 1990s, a shopping mall (Galleria) was constructed at the geographical center of the township.

Production
Development
By mid-2010, Julian decided to write a screenplay for a self-funded feature film that could be made on an ultra-low budget, cost effective production methodology that he was proposing theoretically. He wanted to practically test out his model. From characters to locations, everything was conceived with this model in mind and it took various drafts to fine tune the script. Finally the shooting commenced in November 2013.
Casting
The casting call for actors was advertised online in a casting website called Starnow. The male lead role was initially offered to an interstate actor of Australia, however, due to several delays in filming and constraints in budget, the role was offered to Rohit Kalia who was supposed to do another role in the film. He is a student of Anupam Kher’ s acting school, and is an IT professional during the week.
Though there was an overwhelming response for the female lead role, Julian wasn't keen in casting anyone of them and his search led him to an extra named Georgia Nicholas.
He auditioned her and did a test filming. He was mocked at by many industry professionals and friends for his choice of an extra, based on her initial performance in the trial shoot. Julian took this as a challenge and personally trained Georgia for the role of Stacey over a period of three months, and was happy about her performance in the end.
Meantime, due to the limited shooting time, extensive rehearsals were held over the weekends for a period of two months, with all the key actors, this ensured that they were very familiar with the characters and the lines.
Filming
Official filming commenced on 14 November 2013. As everyone in the cast and crew including Julian had day jobs during the week, the film shooting was done only on weekends and the shooting was completed on a total of 30 shoot days over a period of 6 months. One of the major locations for filming was an Indian spice shop named Udaya spices where the main characters work. This was Julian's first workplace in Australia when he was a student in the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), back in 2003.
Music
Contrary to regular industry practice, the composer of the film came aboard only after the whole film was edited and ready for a preliminary viewing. Being a huge fan of Ilaiyaraaja, Julian couldn't think of anyone else for the music, but being his first feature film that was made on an innovative methodology, he himself wasn't sure about the outcome. So, he wanted to complete the film in the first place. Once he saw the finished product, he was confident enough to approach the legendary composer and made a trip to India to meet Ilaiyaraaja through his musical co-ordinator Subbiah. The meeting was successful and Ilaiyaraaja happily consented to support the project, despite its budgetary constraints. The entire background score was completed within 6 days including recording and technical post-production. Apart from BGM, there are two songs as well in the film. Being an English film, the composer was keen in getting native western voices. After advertising online in Australia, Rachael Leahcar, the South Australian singer was chosen to render her voice for the first ever song composed by Ilaiyaraaja for an English film. The background tracks were recorded in Prasad Studios, Chennai and the voice was recorded and mixed in Australia.

47792173 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhengzhou%20railway%20station | Zhengzhou railway station | Zhengzhou railway station () is a passenger railway station in Erqi District, Zhengzhou, Henan. It is located in the city center, about 1 km southwest to the Erqi Memorial Tower. As the junction of the important Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and Longhai Railway, the station is one of the busiest in China, and is called as "the heart of Chinese railway network".
History
Opened in 1904, it was a station on the Beijing-Hankou Railway (now part of Beijing-Guangzhou Railway). At the beginning, the station had only one platform and four tracks. In 1908, the Kaifeng-Luoyang Railway (now part of Longhai Railway) was put into operation, making the station an important railway junction.
In 1913, the station was renamed as Zheng County railway station (). Ticket offices and platform canopies were put into use in 1928 and the freight yard was constructed in 1932.
During the Second Sino-Japanese War, the station was severely damaged due to air strike by the Japanese army in February 1938 and the tracks between Zhengzhou and Zhongmu were destroyed in May 1938 by the flood. Services were therefore suspended.
The station was taken over by the PLA in 1948 and the Zhengzhou Railway Administration Bureau was established in March 1949.
In October 1952, Mao Zedong visited the station. He told Teng Daiyuan, the Minister of Railways then, to highly value the pivotal status of the station, and instructed the station to be built as "the largest and the most complete passenger station in the Far East". The station has been expanded several times in the following decades. The freight yard was moved east to Erligang in 1953 to establish a new freight station and the marshalling yard was separated from the station in 1962 to form the current Zhengzhou North railway station. The station has become a dedicated passenger station since then. The main station building was completed in 1959, and canopies were added to the platforms in 1970s.
In 1987, a major renovation of the station started. The elevated waiting halls were completed and put into use in January 1992. The whole project lasted 12 years and was completed with the opening of the new main station building (current east station building) in 1999.
To relieve the traffic pressure on the east plaza of the station, construction of the west station building and west plaza was started in 2007. The west station building, together with new column-free platform canopies, the 7th and 8th elevated waiting halls and the 7th platform (current Platform 12 and 13) were put into use in 2010.
On 28 December 2013, with the opening of Zhengzhou Metro Line 1, the station began to have metro access on the west entrance.
The Zhengzhou-Jiaozuo Intercity Railway commenced operation in 2015, making the station an integrated railway hub with conventional long distance, high-speed and intercity train services.
Station layout
The station has two station buildings on both east and west side, covering an area of in total together with waiting rooms. The two station buildings are connected by a channel for departing passengers with 10 waiting rooms on both sides of it at 2nd level, and two tunnels for passengers on arrival.
East station building
The east station building is also called the main station building. It is in height with an area of over . The ticket office, offering 68 counters, is in the southern part on the 1st level. The main entrance is in the central part on the 1st level, with 4 escalators, 2 elevators and 2 staircases to the elevated waiting rooms on the 2nd level.
West station building
The west station building is to the west of the platforms. It covers an area of , housing ticket counters, restaurants and stores.
Platforms and tracks
The station has 13 platforms and 20 tracks, of which 13 are for corresponding platforms, 3 are run-around loops and 4 are for freight trains passing the station. There is no through track for passenger trains in the station.
Metro station
Zhengzhou Railway Station () is a metro station on Zhengzhou Metro Line 1 and Line 10. The station lies beneath the West square of Zhengzhou railway station.
A wall at the station concourse is decorated as a train carriage painted in typical Chinese railway livery of olive green.
Station layout
The station has 3 levels underground. The concourse is on the B2 level and a single island platform for Line 1 is on the B3 level. The part for Line 10 opened on 28 September 2023.
Future development
The station will become an interchange station of Line 1 and Line 10 upon the completion of Line 10.
Bus terminals
The station is an important urban public transit hub and several bus terminals are around the station, including the following.
Railway Station North Terminus () on the north side of the east plaza.
Railway Station South Terminus () on the south side of the east plaza.
Railway Station (Yima Road) () on Yima Road, the south side of the east plaza.

47792274 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villiers%20IV | Villiers IV | The Villiers IV or Villiers 4 was a French two seat naval floatplane. Two were built, the first with twin floats and the second with one. The first was short-lived but the second set several world and national records; it later became the Villiers XI.
Design
As a shipboard aircraft the Villier IV was required to have, in addition to the normal equipment of a two-seat military machine, folding wings and tow and hoist points. It also had to be well provided with navigation, radio and visual signalling equipment.
It was a single bay sesquiplane. Like most Villiers aircraft, the wingplans were strictly rectangular in plan apart from a shallow cut-out over the forward cockpit; the upper wings had three times the area of the lower. They were built around spruce box spars, fabric covered and braced together by an outward and forward leaning interplane strut on each side. The lower wings were attached to the lower fuselage longerons and braced to the upper longerons with single struts leaning inwards at about 45°. The upper wing was held over the fuselage by a fore and aft pair of W-form struts, one to each of its two spars. Wing folding was achieved with hinges on the rear longerons, immediately outside of the centre section to fuselage struts. There were full span ailerons, fitted only on the upper wing. A pair of upper wing hoisting points enabled the Villier IV to be lifted back on board its ship by a crane.
The fuselage of the Type IV was built around six spruce longerons with stringers, formers and poplar plywood skinning but no internal cross-bracing producing a semi-monocoque structure. Its engine was a Lorraine-Dietrich water-cooled W-12 with a Lamblin radiator mounted transversely under it. Aft, the pilot's cockpit was largely under the wing despite the trailing edge cut-out to improve the field of fire from the gunner's cockpit behind him. The gunner had a pair of Lewis guns on a flexible mount and the pilot controlled a fixed pair of synchronised Vickers machine guns firing through the propeller arc. At the rear both fin and tailplane were triangular; the later, placed at the top of the fuselage could be adjusted on the ground. The rudder was curved, broad and reached down to the keel. The elevators were balanced, curved edged and had a cut-out for rudder movement.
The first Type IV had a pair of floats, about and apart, single stepped, round topped in cross-section and with hard chine but almost flat bottoms. These were mounted on an axle just forward of the wing leading edge, supported at its centre by a V-strut from the lower fuselage longerons and at its extremities by struts at about 45° to the same points. Under the trailing edge a W-form strut linked the longerons and floats, allowing passage for bombs released from the central fuselage underside. Vertical legs transmitted landing forces to the lower wing just inboard of the folding line. The floats were made of spruce and ply covered; on the planing bottoms the ply was thick. A second example, the IVbis, had a single central main float, suitable for catapult launching, and a small, stabilizing float under each wing.
Development
The date of the Type IV's first flight is not known but it was flying before August 1925. The second Type IV, usually known in the French journals as the 4bis, flew in 1926. Before the spring of 1927 it had been modified into the very similar Villiers Type XI which had a single, , wide, single-stepped central float mounted on two pairs of lateral struts to the lower fuselage. Two small stabilizing floats were attached with pairs of outward leaning struts from the lower wing below the interplane struts. The Viliers IX and Type X were similar Type IV developments.
Operational history
In the late summer of 1925 the first Type IV and its crew were lost during the grand prix for seaplanes held at Saint-Raphaël, Var.
Early in 1926 the single float IVbis, flown by Louis Demougeot, set world and national seaplane records. The world record was for speed over with a load, set at on 13 May, which was still standing a year later. The French record was set on 27 April, when he took the Villiers to carrying the same load.
Variants
Type IV first example with twin floats, second (IVbis) with a single, central float.
Type IX Twin float.
Type X Twin floats.
Type XI IVbis modified, single float.

Washington Junior College, the first and longest-lasting junior college for African Americans in Florida, was established by the Escambia County school board in 1949. Previously, the only higher education available in Florida to African Americans was at Bethune-Cookman College, Edward Waters College, Florida A&M University, and Florida Memorial College, all historically black.
The college, named for the famous black intellectual Booker T. Washington, shared facilities and administrator with Booker T. Washington High School, in Pensacola, Florida. Its founding and only president and dean, and principal of the high school, was Garrett T. Wiggins, the only educator in northwest Florida with an earned doctorate, described as "the smartest man in Escambia County". Its first class, with 23 students, graduated in 1951. At its peak the college enrolled 361 students. In 1965, in response to the pressures for integration, Washington Junior College was closed. It is often said that the college was merged with Pensacola Junior College (now Pensacola State College), but like Roosevelt Junior College and other Florida black junior colleges, it is more accurate to say it was closed. None of the faculty got similarly paying jobs, and black student enrollment did not transfer en masse to PJC, where students found, at best, an indifferent reception.

47792308 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George-Paschal%20Desbarats | George-Paschal Desbarats | George-Paschal Desbarats (11 August 1808 – 12 November 1864) was a French-Canadian printer, publisher, businessman, and landowner. From 1841 he co-held an exclusive contract as the Queen's printer.
Life and career
George-Paschal Desbarats was born in Quebec City in Lower Canada on 11 August 1808, the third son of Marie-Josephte ( Voyer) and Pierre-Édouard Desbarats, a printer and Deputy Registrar of the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada.
Desbarats attended the school of the Presbyterian clergyman Daniel Wilkie and later apprenticed with a shopkeeper named James George and then a timber merchant in the Basse-Ville of Quebec City. He managed the family business from 1826 when his father fell ill and took it over when his father died two years later. He continued the business's relations with its co-owner Thomas Cary, and they may have co-owned Cary's Quebec Mercury newspaper from 1828 to 1848. The relationship appears to have been uneasy.
With Cary, Desbarats had a contract as printer to the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada as of 1841. In September 1841 Desbarats and Stewart Derbishire received an appointment as "Her Majesty’s Printer and Law Printer in and for the Province of Canada"; as the Queen's printers they had an exclusive contract to print and distribute government publications in the Province of Canada, a contract Desbarats maintained throughout his life. He thus moved as the capital did throughout the period to Kingston, Montreal, Toronto, and Quebec City, where in 1860 he and Derbershire established a business with the help of his son George-Édouard Desbarats and were responsible for the publication of works by such French-Canadian writers as Philippe-Joseph Aubert de Gaspé and Ernest Gagnon as well as the literary journal Le Foyer canadien. Amongst his commissions were the reprinting of Samuel de Champlain's works, completed after his death by George-Édouard in 1870.
Desbarats was active in industry and financing. He invested in railways and mining, and with Derbershire he acquired the Ottawa Glass Works near Vaudreuil, one of the province's first glassworks. He invested in the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad, which he promoted with a pamphlet in 1849 titled The St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad: its position as a private undertaking, and advantages as a national work.
In 1847 Desbarats bought many properties and tracts of land, including one in the Chaudière valley where gold was being prospected, and a mining tract north of Lake Huron called the Desbarats Location. He was secretary of the Montreal Mining Company in 1847 and became president of the St Lawrence Mining Company in 1854.
Desbarats married three times, first to Henriette Dionne, daughter of Amable Dionne. After she died, Desbarats remarried in 1841 to Charlotte Selby, daughter of the doctor William Selby, who had died a few years earlier; there was some resistance to the marriage as Desbarats was perceived to come from a lower social rank than the daughter of a prominent doctor. Last he married Jessie-Louise Pothier, daughter of Legislative Councillor Toussaint Pothier. His estate in Montreal was named Rose-Pré.
Desbarats died in Montreal on 12 November 1864. His son George-Édouard inherited the printing plant in Ottawa in 1865 and continued to expand the business.

47792342 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Showdown%20cooperative%20learning | Showdown cooperative learning | Showdown is a cooperative learning technique that allows students to work in a group. It is usually used in middle school classrooms.
Process
Students in groups of three or four receive a task card with specific problems from the chapter they are learning about.
The team leader of the group picks up the card and reads the sentence on it aloud without showing it to the others.
Other team members write the answers on their paper or chalkboards. When the teacher gives the showdown signal, all the members reveal their responses at once.
If everyone gets the same answer they can assume the answer is correct. If not, all members need to discuss to see if someone did something wrong and help that student to see what they did wrong.
For the next task card, a different student on the team becomes the leader.
The teacher monitors the activity to make sure students are getting the correct answers.
Advantages claimed for Showdown
It gives opportunity to the individual to expertise their ideas.
It is easy to perform in a class as it takes less time.

New teams to the division included West Hartlepool who were relegated from the 2000–01 National Division Two while promoted teams included Scunthorpe who were champions of Midlands Division 1 while Darlington Mowden Park (champions) and Blaydon (playoffs) came up from North Division 1. The league system was 2 points for a win and 1 point for a draw with the promotion system changing for this season with a playoff system being introduced. The champions of both National Division Three North and National Division Three South would automatically go up but the runners up of these two divisions would meet each other in a one off match (at the home ground of the side with the superior league record) to see who would claim the third and final promotion place to National Division Two for the following season.
After the havoc caused by the previous seasons foot-and-mouth crisis, this year's competition was much more straightforward with all fixtures being fulfilled. Doncaster were easily the top side in the competition, strolling to the league title with almost a perfect record (they lost just the one game) and gaining promotion to the 2002–03 National Division Two. As league runners up, Dudley Kingswinford had a tough playoff game away against 2001–02 National Division Three South runners up Launceston who were ultimately too strong for the Midlands side who lost 26 - 0 and had to spend another season in National Division Three North. Unlike 2000-01 the relegation process was much more straightforward expect that four teams would go down instead of the usual two. West Hartlepool were the first team to be relegated, suffering their fourth relegation in a row (the north-west club were actually a Premiership team at the start of this slide), followed swiftly by Sandal as easily the two worst sides in the league. Morley and Whitchurch were the other teams to be relegated, being much more competitive but not having quite enough to stay safe. West Hartlepool, Sandal and Morley dropped to North Division 1 while Whitchurch went into Midlands Division 1.

47792669 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villiers%20VIII | Villiers VIII | The Villiers VIII or 8amC1 was a French shipboard fighter capable of alighting on water. After competitive tests, it did not receive a production order.
Design
In 1924, Villiers had had some success with their Villiers II or Type 2amC2, a two-seat shipboard fighter with a boat-like fuselage underside which enabled it to put down on the sea in an emergency. The 1926 single seat Type 8amC1 had the same ability.
It had a rectangular plan, parasol wing braced from the lower fuselage with pairs of parallel struts on each side which met the wing at about two-thirds span. About halfway up these struts lighter jury struts ran to the edge of the wing centre section, meeting short cabane struts from the upper fuselage. The wing had a wooden structure with fabric covering and carried full span ailerons.
The Type VIII's fuselage also had a wooden structure but was plywood covered. It had an unstepped planing bottom and was divided into several watertight compartments to keep the aircraft afloat even with fuselage damage. In an emergency over water the land undercarriage was jettisoned and the aircraft stabilised by a planing float on each side, mounted on the wing struts at the lower end of the jury struts. The land wheels were on a single axle, sprung from the cross-member of a frame formed by longitudinal V-struts from the lower fuselage and a transverse V from the same points to the centre of the cross-member. The pilot's open cockpit was under a wing trailing edge cut-out and was provided with a small, streamlined head-rest. He controlled two fixed synchronised machine guns firing through the propeller disc.
Its tail unit was conventional, with a broad chord, clipped triangular tailplane mounted on top of the fuselage and fitted with separate, round edged, balanced elevators. The triangular fin and its full, rounded unbalanced rudder were also broad, the rudder extending down to the keel and operated in a gap between the elevators.
Operational history
The exact date of the Type VIII's first flight is not known but it was evaluated in military trials late in 1926 at Saint-Raphaël as the Vil 8amC1. The military preferred its competitor, the Lévy-Biche LB 2amC1, and development of the Type VIII ended.

47792758 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%20Whitehead%20Greaves | John Whitehead Greaves | John Whitehead Greaves (21 June 1807 – 12 February 1880) was an English businessman who was instrumental in developing the slate industry in Wales.
Early life and family
Born near St Albans, he was the third son of John Greaves (1774–1849), a Quaker banker, and his wife Mary (1779–1864), daughter of John Whitehead. His older brother was Edward Greaves. His older sister Celina Greaves (1804–1884) married the brewer Edward Fordham Flower and a younger sister Rebecca Mary Greaves (1814–1892) became the mother of Sir Michael Henry Lakin, first of the Lakin baronets.
John became a wanderer who ended up in 1830 at Caernarfon, where he went into the slate business. Once well established, in 1843 he married Ellen (1816–1887), daughter of a Suffolk landowner Gill Stedman. They had ten children, including John Ernest Greaves, Richard Methuen Greaves, Helen Constance Greaves (1845–1932) who married General Sir Henry Augustus Smyth, Ellen Mabel Greaves (1851-1941) who was the mother of the architect Clough Williams-Ellis, and Frances Evelyn Greaves (1864-1926) who married Sir Osmond Williams, 1st Baronet.
Business career
Working existing slate deposits in partnership with other entrepreneurs, initially at Glynrhonwy but adding other sites, Greaves used the income this generated to prospect for new veins which he could exploit exclusively. He became convinced that there was a massive amount of slate underground at Llechwedd, opening the Llechwedd quarry in 1846 and in 1849 finding the enormous vein he had been seeking. His slate won a Class 1 Prize Medal at the Great Exhibition of 1851 and orders flowed in, including a contract to supply Kensington Palace.
In addition to extracting slate, he was active on the board of the Ffestiniog Railway to Porthmadog, travelling on the first train in 1836 and later serving as treasurer and as chairman, and was also involved in developing a shipbuilding industry at Porthmadog. He also pioneered machinery for processing slate. In 1860 he served as High Sheriff of Caernarvonshire.
Legacy
John died at Brighton and was buried at Lillington. His son John Ernest Greaves had taken over the slate business, which still operates on a reduced scale and has developed a major tourist attraction, the Llechwedd Slate Caverns.

47792762 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stina%20Ehrensv%C3%A4rd | Stina Ehrensvärd | Stina Ehrensvärd is a Swedish-American entrepreneur, innovator and industrial designer. She is the founder and Chief Evangelist of Yubico and co-inventor of the YubiKey authentication device.
Biography
Ehrensvärd was born in the United States. Her father, who was an architect like her mother, spent a year at the University of Washington in Seattle, undertaking research on urban planning and computer graphics. The following year, the family moved back to Lund, Sweden, where she grew up with three siblings. She went on to study industrial design at the Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm. It was around this time that she met her husband-to-be Jakob Ehrensvärd, an electronics enthusiast. They now have three children.
The two began collaborating on a series of innovations combining their design and computing talents. Their first significant joint development was Cypak, an intelligent pharmaceutical packaging system that did not take off. In 2007, the couple founded Yubico, and began manufacturing the YubiKey authentication device for account logins. The YubiKey quickly gained worldwide popularity and attracted millions of users, including nine of the top ten internet companies. In 2011, the couple moved to Palo Alto to become part of the Silicon Valley IT scene.
Yubico is a leading contributor to the FIDO Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) open authentication standard (co-authored with Google), and invented the concept of having one authentication device access any number of online services with no shared secrets. Under Ehrensvärd's guidance, Yubico is the innovator behind driverless one-time password (OTP) authentication, PIV smart cards with touch-to-sign, and Hardware Security Modules that sit inside standard USB-ports.
Ehrensvärd also frequently speaks on internet identity and entrepreneurship. In 2013, she was listed in the monthly magazine Inc. as one of the "10 Women to Watch in Tech in 2013". The following year, Yubico was awarded the Swedish Innovation Award, and in 2016, she was awarded the KTH Great Prize, one of the most prestigious innovation and entrepreneur awards in Sweden.
In 2013, Ehrensvärd was interviewed by the business magazine The NextWomen about using the YubiKey for the first FIDO U2F pilot with Google. When asked if there was anything she wished to share with the community, she revealed: "We women are trained in our DNA to please. I have stopped trying to please everyone, but to instead follow my dreams."
Ehrensvärd continues to work towards her vision of bringing FIDO U2F to the masses, having one single YubiKey to an unlimited number of services, and making secure login easy and available for everyone.
Ehrensvärd's company, Yubico, is also a supporter of the Hong Kong protests, having donated 500 encryption keys to the activists.

47792809 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbs%20Junior%20College | Gibbs Junior College | Gibbs Junior College was created in 1957 by the Pinellas County Board of Public Instruction to serve African-American students in St. Petersburg, Florida. It was the first and most successful of Florida's eleven new African-American junior colleges, founded in an unsuccessful attempt to avoid the racial integration mandated by the unanimous 1954 Supreme Court Brown v. Board of Education decision. It was named for the minister and abolitionist Jonathan C. Gibbs, who opened a private school for freed slaves after the Civil War, and was later Florida's Secretary of State (1868–1872) and then Superintendent of Public Instruction, the first African-American member of the Florida Cabinet.
The founding president was John W. Rembert, who was principal of Gibbs High School.
It opened with 245 students and in its last year as an independent institution had 901 students. During its first year it used the facilities of Gibbs High School, but in 1958 it moved into its own adjacent facility, on the corner of 9th Avenue South and 34th Street South in St. Petersburg, Florida. Free bus transportation was provided to the college by Hillsborough, Manatee, and Sarasota counties. It was the first African-American junior college to become fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
In the middle of the 1964-65 school year, amid charges of fraud and possible embezzlement, Rembert was relieved of the presidency, the institution was placed under the supervision of St. Petersburg Junior College (today St. Petersburg College), and its name was changed to the Gibbs campus of St. Petersburg Junior College. The bus service ended, and enrollment plummeted from 901 students in 1964-65 to 597 in 1965-66 and 366 students in 1966-67. In view of the decline in enrollment, and the pressures for integration that caused Florida's other black junior colleges to close in the mid-1960s, the Pinellas County Board of Public Instruction, on the recommendation of St. Petersburg Junior College, closed the campus in 1967.
In 1992, St. Petersburg Junior College named its St. Petersburg campus (unrelated to the facilities of Gibbs Junior College) the Gibbs campus.

47792837 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four%20corners%20%28teaching%20method%29 | Four corners (teaching method) | The Four Corners is one of many cooperative teaching and learning strategies. This activity is used when a teacher wants to show that not everyone in the class has the same viewpoint or that there are multiple solutions to some problems. This teaching method allows students who would not normally communicate in class to participate and communicate with their peers. This strategy encourages students to formulate their own opinions on a given topic and allows them to contribute their ideas to class discussion.
Process
First, the four corners of the class are labeled, either with a chart or a vignette. Each corner will have an opinion, written statements, etc. Second, the teacher poses a question or a problem to the class. The students reflect on the question without discussion. Third, the teacher invites the students to take a place at a corner that suits their opinion best by announcing "Corner". Then, the students at each corner share their views, either in pairs or with the whole group gathered at that corner.
Lastly, the teacher asks the students to be ready to share their ideas, reflections, lessons, plans, and opinions with the whole class.
Critique
Four corners is a collaborative method of teaching and learning that gives the students a platform for various cognitive and affective learnings. This strategy helps the students to think at a higher level, reflect on what they have learned in class, voice opinions safely, learn to critique on various issues, evaluate certain solutions, and communicate better. This strategy also enhances the responsibility of a student when making a conclusion or opinion.

47792877 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryan%20Nelson%20%28ornithologist%29 | Bryan Nelson (ornithologist) | Joseph Bryan Nelson MBE FRSE (14 March 1932 – 29 June 2015) was a British ornithologist, environmental activist and academic. He was a prominent authority on seabirds, publishing numerous books and articles on gannets, cormorants and other species, teaching zoology at the University of Aberdeen, and conducting pioneering ornithological research in Jordan, Christmas Island and the Galápagos Islands. In his lifetime, Nelson was "acclaimed as the world's leading expert on the northern gannet". He also contributed to the creation of Christmas Island National Park, which helped to preserve the habitat of the endangered Abbott's booby.
Early life and education
Nelson was born in Shipley, West Yorkshire in 1932, the third of four children of a motor engineer and a draper. For most of his life, he was known by his middle name, Bryan. As a child during World War II, he developed a fascination with birds after he was given a book on ornithology. He attended a grammar school in the town of Saltaire, but left school at 16 and worked for some years in a sewage treatment plant to help support his family. After completing his studies at a night school, Nelson attended St Andrews University to study zoology, graduating in 1959. Thereafter, he began a DPhil in ecology at Oxford University, entitled The breeding biology of the gannet (Sula bassana) with particular reference to behaviour, under the supervision of the Nobel Prize-winning Dutch biologist Nikolaas Tinbergen. In 1960, Nelson married his research colleague June Davison, who accompanied him to Bass Rock in the Firth of Forth to study gannets. The couple spent their honeymoon on Bass Rock, and subsequently lived there in a garden shed from 1960 to 1963. Without insulation and held down against the wind by hawsers, the shed was erected with the aid of local lighthouse keepers, and "sat eerily within the ruins of the sixth-century St Baldred's chapel." They endured harsh coastal weather and regularly climbed down steep cliffs without safety equipment to study birds' nests.
Ornithological research
After completing his DPhil in 1963, Nelson travelled with his wife to several uninhabited islands in the Galápagos Islands to continue his research on seabirds, primarily studying blue-footed, masked and red-footed boobies. The couple lived in a tent and went naked for an entire year while studying the booby and frigate-bird populations of the islands. At one point, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh visited the islands, and invited the Nelsons to lunch aboard the Royal Yacht Britannia; Nelson recalled attending the lunch "in patched shorts liberally splattered with albatross vomit". Prince Philip, also a seabird enthusiast, took some of Nelson's research diaries back to England with him to keep them safe from Ecuadorian customs officials, and later returned them to Nelson at Buckingham Palace.
In 1967, Nelson spent a year on Christmas Island, studying the rare Abbott's booby, whose only habitat was threatened by phosphate mining on the island. In later years, Nelson gave evidence to the Australian government about the ecological impacts of mining on Christmas Island, which ultimately contributed to the creation of Christmas Island National Park to protect the island's biodiversity. In 1968, Nelson and his wife travelled to Jordan, where he served as the director of the Azraq Desert Research Station and studied the migratory birds of the region. He also performed an in-depth study of a colony of Australasian gannets at Cape Kidnappers, New Zealand.
Nelson conducted pioneering fieldwork on the habits and communication methods of gannets and boobies; among his key hypotheses was the suggestion that gannets use a gesture known as "skypointing" to warn mates that they are about to leave the nest. As Scottish Field Magazine noted: "He interpreted and described the fascinating non-verbal communication of gannets. As a zoology lecturer, he amused and inspired thousands of Aberdeen University students over many years with his 'skypointing' and 'beak fencing'." He was the author of an authoritative 1,000-page monograph on boobies and gannets, including a volume on Pelecaniformes and a more general volume on seabird biology and ecology.
Academic career
In 1969, Nelson became a lecturer in zoology at Aberdeen University, and taught there until his retirement in 1985. He published a number of highly regarded ornithological monographs and textbooks, appeared on numerous television and radio programmes, made several nature documentaries and helped pioneer high-speed photography techniques for imaging birds in flight. He furthermore wrote a number of books for general audiences, including a 2013 memoir of his time on the Galápagos Islands. He became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1982 and was appointed MBE in 2006.
He was also a key founder and important supporter of the Scottish Seabird Centre, of which he was a charity trustee from 1997 to 2012. In 2013 he was appointed as the centre's Special Ornithological Advisor. The centre flew its flag at half mast upon his death.
Personal life
Nelson married June Davison in 1960; she survived him, as did their twin children, Simon and Becky, and two grandchildren. Nelson spent most of his later years in Scotland, latterly in the town of Kirkcudbright, and enjoyed boating, hill walking and birdwatching in his spare time.
Nelson died of a genetic heart defect at his home in Kirkcudbright in June 2015. Nelson's "green burial" was conducted at Roucan Loch outside Dumfries. He outlived all three of his siblings.

47792885 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lin%20Shih-chia | Lin Shih-chia | Lin Shih-chia (; born 20 May 1993) is a Taiwanese competitive archer. She has won a career total of four medals (one gold, two silver, and one bronze) in a major international competition, spanning the Summer Universiade, the World Championships, and the Summer Olympics.
Lin rose to prominence in the global archery scene at the 2015 Summer Universiade in Gwangju, South Korea. There, she confidently took out the slick South Korean women from the final match 5–3 to hand the trio of Hsiung Mei-chien and London 2012 Olympian Tan Ya-ting a gold-medal triumph in the team recurve tournament.
Shortly after the Universiade, Lin continued to build her success in the sport by adding two more medals to her career treasury, a silver each in the individual and mixed team recurve, at the World Championships in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Lin was selected to compete for Chinese Taipei's archery squad at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, shooting in both individual and team recurve tournaments. Two months before her maiden Games, she commanded the Chinese Taipei trio in defeating the Estonian side for one of three women's team spaces at the World Archery Cup meet in Antalya, Turkey. Lin opened the tournament by discharging 651 points, 15 perfect tens, and 6 bull's eyes to seal the ninth seed against a field of 63 other archers in the classification round, along with her trio's cumulative score of 1,932. Sitting outside of the top three at fourth position in the team recurve, Lin and her compatriots Tan and Le Chien-ying bounced back from their semifinal defeat to the eventual champions South Korea to secure a 5–3 triumph over the Italian women for the bronze medal. In the women's individual recurve, Lin successfully held off a spirited challenge by Egypt's Reem Mansour in the opening round, before she faced a 2–6 defeat in her subsequent match from the unheralded Indian Bombayla Devi Laishram.

In August 1942, he became commander of the 8th Airborne Corps. On 8 December 1942, the corps became the 3rd Guards Airborne Division.
Between January and March 1943, the division fought in the Battle of Demyansk with the 1st Shock Army. In late March, the division was relocated to the 13th Army at Ponyri in the Kursk Bulge. From 5 to 12 July, the division fought in the Battle of Kursk. On 16 July, the division went on the offensive during Operation Kutuzov and reportedly killed 9,600 German soldiers, knocking out 33 tanks. On 28 July, Konev was awarded the Order of the Red Banner. The division then fought in the Chernigov-Pripyat Offensive. Advancing westward, the division crossed the Ukrainian border in late August. In September, the division crossed the Dnieper after capturing Oster. It then fought bloody battles to retain the bridgehead. On 11 November, the division fought in the capture of Radomyshl during the Battle of Kiev.
In January 1944, Konev led the division in the Battle of the Korsun–Cherkassy Pocket. On 10 January, he received the Order of Kutuzov 2nd class. From 5 March, the division fought in the Uman–Botoșani Offensive and captured Hristinovka railway station, which made the capture of Uman possible on 10 March. For its actions, the division was awarded the honorific "Uman" for its actions. Between 15 and 19 March, the division captured Tulchyn and Mohyliv-Podilskyi. It then fought in the Second Jassy–Kishinev Offensive during the summer. On 20 August, the 3rd Guards Airborne broke through the defensive line northwest of Iași ("Jassy"). By the end of 27 August, the division had reportedly advanced 300 kilometers and captured 200 settlements. It also reportedly killed 2,559 German and Romanian soldiers, 47 guns, 12 tanks and captured 3,918 enemy soldiers and 62 guns. On 30 August, the division captured Ploiești. On 13 September 1944, Konev was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union and the Order of Lenin for "courage and heroism displayed in the command of his division". On 19 September, he was promoted to major general.
The division then fought in the Battle of Debrecen. On 11 October, it helped capture Cluj-Napoca. The division advanced into Hungary and fought in the Budapest Offensive. On 30 November, it captured Eger. The division then crossed the Tisza and repulsed German counterattacks. The division then defended against German attacks in Operation Spring Awakening in March 1945. During late March, the division advanced westward and capture Zalaegerszeg. In early April, the division reached Austria and captured Fürstenfeld in the Vienna Offensive. By 9 May the division was at Graz, where Konev learned that the war was over and met with British troops.
Konev participated in the Moscow Victory Parade of 1945 on 24 June.
Postwar
In June 1946, he became the commander of the 23rd Mechanized Division. A month later, he became the commander of the 106th Guards Airborne Division. In June 1947, he became chief of staff of the 137th Rifle Corps. He became its deputy commander in October 1948. Konev transferred to become deputy commander of the 14th Guards Rifle Corps in April 1952.
He retired in June 1955 and moved to Kuibyshev and died there on 19 November 1983. Konev is buried in the Rubezhnom Cemetery in Samara. Secondary School No.100 in Samara is named after Konev.

47792996 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maddox%20wing | Maddox wing | The Maddox Wing is an instrument utilized by ophthalmologists, orthoptists and optometrists in the measurement of strabismus (misalignment of the eyes; commonly referred to as a squint or lazy eye by the lay person). It is a quantitative and subjective method of measuring the size of a strabismic deviation by dissociation of the eyes brought about by two septa which are placed in such a way as to present fields to either eye separated by a diaphragm at the centre. The right eye sees a red and white arrow, each of which point to a scale with numbers seen by the left eye; the red arrow points to the vertical red scale and the white arrow points to the horizontal white scale. A third arrow located to the right and below the horizontal white scale is used to measure torsion
Indications
The Maddox Wing measures the size of heterophorias (latent deviations) and small heterotropias (manifest deviations) at near when normal retinal correspondence (NRC) is present. It is especially helpful when patients present with symptoms of diplopia (double vision) with no apparent cause. Unsuspected torsional deviations may also be revealed where there are no symptoms present. It is a quick and convenient method of measuring the size of a deviation and is generally used in association with a number of other tests before a full diagnosis is determined.
Equipment
The Handle:
The handle is retractable and is located at the base of the instrument. This is where the patient holds the apparatus.
The Eye Piece:
Located anteriorly, the eye piece is where the patient looks into.
The Eye-piece lens holder:
Mainly used to hold lens for patients who have difficulties seeing the board with their glasses
The Septa:
There are 2 septa that separates the eye piece so that the patient has two separate fields of view.
The Scale Card:
Used to measure the deviation of heterophorias, small heterotropias (with NRC) and also torsion. The scale card has the horizontal, vertical and torsional scales. The board also contains the red and white arrows. This will be further discuss throughout the video.
The Torsion Lever:
On the measuring board there is an adjustable lever which the patient subjectively aligns to measure torsion.
Method
The Maddox Wing test is performed at near with the instrument held in reading position, slightly inferior (approximately 15° depression and 33 cm away). The room or location of the test should be brightly illuminated and the patient's optical correction (e.g. glasses, bifocals, multifocals, contact lens) is required to be worn. In the event that correction cannot be worn due to the obstruction of vision through the eye piece, lenses may be placed within the lens holder before each eye. The examiner instructs the patient to hold the Maddox Wing and identify the number that the white (vertical arrow) and red (horizontal arrow) arrows point to on their respective scales.
Example instructions and examiner questions:
"Hold the device up to your eyes and look into the eye piece as if you're reading a book"
"What number is the white arrow pointing to?"
It is important for the examiner to ask "Is it actually pointing to the number (e.g. number 4) or in between two numbers (e.g. between the numbers 3 and 5)?" This avoids possible confusion as only the odd numbers show on one side of the scale and the even figures on the other, if misinterpreted, diagnosis may be incorrect.
"What number is the red arrow pointing to?"
" I want you to lift the red torsion lever and hold it parallel to the red arrow"
Recording
Example:
MW: cc exo 10∆ R/L 7∆ excyclo 4° OR MW: cc -10∆ R/L 7∆ excyclo 4°
MW cc eso 5∆ ө
Key:
Interpretation
With the maddox wing, you cannot differentiate between a manifest deviation or latent deviation. The white arrow on the white X-Axis measures for horizontal deviations in which, odd numbers represent eso deviations and even numbers represents exo deviations. The red arrow on the red Y-Axis measures for vertical deviations; odd numbers represent right hyper deviations and even numbers represents left hyper deviations. In the absence of a deviated eye, both red and white arrows point to zero, indicating that there is no deviation present. The presence of torsion is determined subjectively; the patient is instructed to take hold of the torsion lever and make it straight.
Advantages
Time efficient method of measuring strabismus
Measures horizontal, vertical and torsional deviations
Hand held instrument
Not a difficult skill to learn and since the numbers can be read only the patient accommodates sufficiently which makes the test much more reliable
Can be used on children
Disadvantages
Contraindicated where abnormal retinal correspondence (ARC) or suppression are present
The dissociative nature of the test may cause irregularities in measurements
Does not differentiate between latent and manifest strabismus
Septa is easily bent, may lead to incorrect results as one eye sees both arrows and numbers
Cannot be performed in the distance
Considerations
Time must be allowed for dissociation of the eyes to take place
Numbers and arrows should be seen clearly. Relaxation of accommodation can result in an increase in exophoria and a decrease in esophoria, leading to an inaccurate result
The examiner should check the function of the Maddox Wing Instrument before use; the septa can be easily bent, leading to the septa not covering the intended view. When that happens one eye can see both arrows and numbers which gives inaccurate results.

47793080 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatot%20Nurmantyo | Gatot Nurmantyo | General (Ret.) Gatot Nurmantyo (born 13 March 1960) is a retired Indonesian Army general who was commander (Panglima) of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) from 8 July 2015 until 8 December 2017. Previously, he was the 30th Army Chief of Staff from 25 July 2014 after being appointed by President Yudhoyono to replace General Budiman. From 2013 to 2014, he was Commander of Army Strategic Command (Kostrad), replacing Lieutenant General Muhammad Munir.
In June 2015, he was nominated by President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo to replace TNI commander General Moeldoko, who was nearing retirement age. His appointment was then confirmed by the DPR. In December 2017, as Nurmantyo neared retirement age (in March 2018), the president announced his intention to replace him with Air Force Chief-of-Staff Air Chief Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto as TNI commander.
Nurmantyo joined government officials and social activists in a march to support religious tolerance during the November 2016 Jakarta protests. Alongside Social Affairs Minister Khofifah Indar Parawansa, Indonesian National Police chief Tito Karnavian and Islamic activist Yenny Wahid, he led public support of interfaith unity as a counterbalance to protests against Jakarta's Christian ethnic-Chinese governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama which included elements of intolerance and Sinophobia.
Presidential aspiration
Nurmantyo officially retired from military service on 31 March 2018 amid rising speculation he would run for the presidency in 2019. On 6 April 2018, a group called Gatot Nurmantyo for the People (GNR) nominated Gatot as a candidate for Indonesia's 2019 presidential election.
In an interview published by Tempo in April 2018, he responded positively to calls for him to run for the presidency, saying: "If the Republic calls and the people wish, I will be ready no matter what." He said democracy is in the hands of the people, "but it is Allah who has the final say. So, anyone who becomes the president is by the will of Allah and we must support him or her." Asked if he was interested in becoming President Jokowi's running mate, he responded: "I'm not a political whore." He admitted Jokowi's rival, opposition leader Prabowo Subianto, had invited him to join his Gerindra Party.
Ties to Tomy Winata
Gatot has acknowledged he is close to tycoon and banker Tomy Winata. “People say that I have a close relationship with Tomy Winata. That's true. I will never be ashamed of that because I personally know his commitment,” he said. Their relationship started in 1997, when Winata's Artha Graha Bank acquired Arta Prima Bank, which was then renamed Pratama Bank. At the time, Gatot was Secretary Commissioner of Artha Graha Bank. The Indonesian media has speculated Winata might be providing financial backing for Gatot to run for the presidency in 2019.

Gatot is the recipient of the following honours:

47793083 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elaborative%20interrogation | Elaborative interrogation | Elaborative Interrogation is a cognitive learning strategy that enhances comprehension and retention by prompting learners to generate explanations for why certain facts or concepts are true. This method encourages deeper processing of information by connecting new material to existing knowledge, thus creating a more integrated understanding.
For example, if a student is learning about the causes of the American Revolution, they might be asked, "Why did the colonists resist British taxation?" By actively exploring this question, the student might recall prior knowledge about the economic strain imposed by the taxes and how it fueled resentment among the colonists. This deeper analysis not only aids in memorizing the fact but also fosters a more profound grasp of the historical context.
Elaborative interrogation is particularly effective in educational settings where critical thinking and comprehension are key. Rather than passively absorbing information, learners engage in a process of inquiry, making the material more relevant and memorable. This technique can be applied across various subjects, from history and science to mathematics and literature, making it a versatile tool in both classroom and self-directed learning environments.
Effectiveness
There is an integration of new facts with the prior knowledge of the learner.
This method benefits learners across a relatively wide range of age.
It can be used by students of varying ability levels.
Learners were able to generate an adequate answer which is better than no answer.
Educational implications
Students are taught how to generate questions as well as find answers for the given fact/information.
Students learn to share their thoughts, and justify and defend their derivation of the answer.
Students can also form, analyse and clarify their content.

47793090 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris%20adriatica | Iris adriatica | Iris adriatica is a plant species in the genus Iris, it is also in the subgenus Iris. It is a rhizomatous perennial, from the Dalmatia region of Croatia in Europe. It has short sickle shaped leaves, small stem and flowers that vary from yellow to purple or violet. It is rarely cultivated as an ornamental plant in temperate regions.
Description
It is similar in form to Iris pseudopumila, Iris pumila and Iris attica.
It has a rhizome, and has falcate (sickle-shaped), or straight leaves, that can grow up to between long, and between 0.5 and 1 cm wide. They are normally longer than the flowering stem, and die back at winter.
It has a dwarf stem, that can grow up to between tall.
The stem has green spathes (leaves of the flower bud), that have wide scarious (membranous) margins, they are similar in size to the perianth tube, at long and slightly keeled at blooming time. The stems hold 1 terminal (top of stem) flower, blooming in spring, in March and April. The large flowers, come in shades of yellow, red, purple, or violet. Or they can be a combination of these colours.
Like other irises, it has 2 pairs of petals, 3 large sepals (outer petals), known as the 'falls' and 3 inner, smaller petals (or tepals), known as the 'standards'.
The falls have a beard in the centre, which is either blue of yellow.
After the iris has flowered, it produces an elliptical or trigonous (having three angles or corners) seed capsule, that is 2–3 cm long, when ripe it is straw coloured. Inside the capsule are many little, elliptical shaped, dark brownish seeds. They are smaller and darker than other similar irises.
Biochemistry
In 2009, a plant regeneration study was carried out on Iris adriatica, using somatic embryogenesis and organogenesis.
In 2012, Iris adriatica was studied to assess the possibility of growing this species as a pot plant. Biometric analysis showed only that substrate was an influence in cultivation.
As most irises are diploid, having two sets of chromosomes, this can be used to identify hybrids and classification of groupings.
It has a chromosome count: 2n = 16.
Taxonomy
It is sometimes commonly known as Adriatic Iris.
The Latin specific epithet adriatica refers to being from the region beside the Adriatic Sea.
It was first described by Trinajstic L, Papes D., Lovasen-Eberhardt Z. & Bacani Lj. in 'Book of Summaries' page25 in 1980, but not validly published.
New specimens were found in Dalmatia region, near the town of Šibenik in Croatia, by M. Milović, M. Radnić, M. Mitić and B. Mitić on 16 March 2002.
It was then described and published as Iris adriatica Trinajstić ex Mitić in 'Phyton' (the Annales rei Botanicae, Horn, Austria), Vol.42 on page 305 in 2002.
It was verified by United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service on 7 April 2003, then updated on 2 December 2004.
It is listed in the Encyclopedia of Life.
It is an accepted name of The Plant List, although no synonyms have been recorded on that source.
Iris adriatica is not yet an accepted name by the RHS, as of 12 September 2015.
Distribution and habitat
It is native to Europe.
Range
It is found in the Mediterranean country, of Croatia, within the Dalmatia region. Including around the Croatian towns of Zadar, Šibenik, Split, Drniš and Unešić. As well as being found on the islands of Ciovo, Brač, Kornati, and Vir.
Habitat
It grows in sandy, meadows, with 'Stipo-Salvietum officinalis' (a mixture of Stipa (grasses) and Salvia officialis, (sage plants), and 'Festuco-Koelerietum splendentis' plants (a mixture of festuca and Koeleria splendens grasses,).
It can also grow in rocky pastures.
They can be found at an altitude of above sea level.
Conservation
Iris adriatica has decreasing wild populations, and was listed as near threatened (NT) in the Flora Croatica Red Book. It is threatened due overgrowth of other more dominant plant species.
The Dalmatian islands have 179 endemic plants and several threatened species (on the IUCN Red List) including Iris adriatica, Salvia fruticosa, Salvia brachypodon, Portenschlagiella ramosissima, Phyllitis sagitata, Ornithogalum visianicum, Orchis quadripunctata, Geranium dalmaticum, Euphorbia rigida, and Dianthus multinervis.
Cultivation
It is hardy to USDA Zone 8.
It needs dry summers.
It is thought to be difficult to grow in cultivation.
It can be found growing in Biokovo Botanical Garden Kotišina.
Toxicity
Like many other irises, most parts of the plant are poisonous (rhizome and leaves), if mistakenly ingested can cause stomach pains and vomiting. Also handling the plant may cause a skin irritation or an allergic reaction.

47793100 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexei%20Arapov | Alexei Arapov | Alexei Nazarovich Arapov (14 March 1906 – 14 September 1943) was a Soviet officer, chief of staff of the 3rd Guards Airborne Division, and a Hero of the Soviet Union. Arapov was awarded the title posthumously for his leadership during the Battle of the Dnieper.
Drafted into the Red Army in 1928, Arapov became an officer and graduated from the Frunze Military Academy soon after the beginning of the German invasion of the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941. Serving as a staff officer in the 50th Army during the Battle of Moscow, Arapov distinguished himself and when the 8th Airborne Corps was formed in the fall of 1942, he became its chief of staff. The corps was soon converted into the 3rd Guards Airborne Division, and Arapov stayed on as chief of staff for the new division. Killed in a German air raid during the Battle of the Dnieper, he was posthumously awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union for his actions.
Early life
Alexei Arapov was born on 14 March 1906 in Verkh-Neyvinsky in the Yekaterinburgsky Uyezd of the Perm Governorate of the Russian Empire in the family of a miner and graduated from eighth grade. In 1922 he began working as a peat miner, and then became an apprentice turner at the Verkh-Neyvinsky ironworks. In 1924 he became a turner at the emerald mines of the trust "Russkiye samotsvety" (Russian Gems) near the station of Bazhenovo. In October Arapov moved to Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg), where he successively worked as a laborer, a stonecutter, and a clerk in the trust "Uralkhleboprodukt" (Ural Bakeries). In February 1927, he moved to the Donbas, where he worked in a coal mine of the trust "Donugol" as a technical secretary, messenger, and coal cutter operator.
Interwar military service
Arapov was drafted into the Red Army in November 1928. Initially serving with the 13th Corps Sapper Battalion at Kazan, he entered the Vladikavkaz (Ordzhonikidze from 1931) Infantry School in November 1929. While at the school, Arapov participated in the crushing of a Chechen uprising against collectivization in 1930 and in the same year became a member of the Communist Party. Arapov graduated from the Ordzhonikidze Infantry School in 1931 and became a machine gun platoon commander in the 9th Don Rifle Division's 25th Rifle Regiment at Novocherkassk. In 1932, he married Nadezhda Ignateyevna Lukovoy.
In 1932 he was transferred to the Far East to become an assistant machine gun company commander in the 99th Separate Machine Gun Battalion of the Blagoveshchensk Fortified Area, part of the Special Red Banner Far Eastern Army. In 1934, Arapov became assistant chief of staff of the 77th Separate Machine Gun Battalion of the Grodekovo Fortified Area. He subsequently served as battalion chief of staff and then as commander of its training company.
In October 1938, Arapov was transferred west to the Orel Military District, where he became a company commander in Belgorod and Alexeyevka. During the Great Purge, he was nearly repressed. According to his autobiography, during a political lecture, he stated that he had heard that Trotsky was a "world orator." For this, Arapov was expelled from the party, but his appeal for reinstatement succeeded. In June 1940, he entered the Frunze Military Academy.
World War II
Arapov graduated from the academy in October 1941, after the German invasion of the Soviet Union, and became assistant chief of the 1st section of the Operations Department of the 50th Army, part of the Bryansk Front and from November part of the Western Front. He participated in the Battle of Moscow and the defense of Tula and Plavsk. In the defenses of the two cities, Arapov was reported by his superiors to have "skillfully coordinated the operations of the combat units." During the battle for Tula, as the representative of the army staff, Arapov "skillfully combined his personal courage with the ability to manage the troops, ensuing the fulfillment of orders." During the Vyazma airborne operation in January and February 1942, Arapov made dozens of flights to troops of the 4th Airborne Corps, dropped in the rear of German Army Group Centre, to coordinate their operations with those of the 50th Army. For his actions, Arapov was promoted to major on 22 January and awarded the Order of the Red Banner on 31 January.
During the summer of 1942, when the German advance approached his family's home in Alexeyevka, Nadezhda and the couple's two children became refugees and eventually made their way to Buy, Kostroma Oblast, where her parents lived. In the fall of 1942, the formation of new airborne corps was begun in Moscow Oblast. Arapov became the chief of staff of the 8th Airborne Corps, but on 8 December the corps was converted into the 3rd Guards Airborne Division, and he became chief of staff of the division. On 25 December Arapov was promoted to lieutenant colonel. In February 1943, after completing its training, the division was transferred to the Northwestern Front to fight in the Battle of Demyansk, an attempt to destroy a German salient. From 25 February to 12 March the division attacked heavily fortified German positions, but was unsuccessful due to weak artillery support. After losing two-thirds of its personnel, the division was withdrawn to the rear for reinforcement. However, the situation in the Kursk Bulge necessitated the speedy dispatch of the division there, and while still rebuilding it was transferred to the 53rd Army of the Steppe Front in April and May.
As the chief of staff of the 3rd Guards Airborne Division, Arapov fought in the Battle of Kursk and the subsequent pursuit from Maloarkhangelsk to the Desna River. On 14 September 1943, Arapov and 8th Guards Airborne Regiment commander Oleg Kokushkin were killed during a German air raid when a bomb scored a direct hit on the regiment's command post near Haivoron. He was posthumously awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union on 27 October 1943 and promoted to colonel.
A school in Verkh-Neyvinsky is named after Arapov.

47793109 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lama%20Dorji | Lama Dorji | Lama Dorji, or Lama Darja (; ; 1726 or 1728–1753) was a mid-eighteenth century khan or ruler of the Dzungar Khanate, a confederation of Mongol tribes that ruled over most of present-day Xinjiang and part of eastern Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and southern Siberia. He was the eldest son of Galdan Tseren, Khong Tayiji of the Dzungar Khanate from 1727 until his death in 1745. Before his death, Galdan Tseren had designated his second son Tsewang Dorji Namjal to succeed him. However, a succession dispute soon erupted among Galdan Tseren's three sons.
Lama Dorji conspired with the husband of his sister Ulam Bayar, the Baghatur Sayin Bolek and other saisans or high officials (), to kill Tsewang Dorji Namjal while he was on a hunting trip. During an abortive attack on the plotters in 1750, Tsewang Dorji Namjal was captured and blinded then sent as a prisoner to Aksu, Xinjiang along with his brother, Tsewang Dashi.
Despite his low birth as a Khoit, Lama Dorji's encountered little opposition except from the Dzungar Khan, Dawachi, grandson of Khong Tayiji and Tsewang Rabtan's cousin Tsering Dhondup (). In 1751, Lama Dorji defeated Dawachi, who was forced to flee across the border into Kazakh Khanate territory with about a dozen men. Amursana was one of Dawachi's few followers who returned to Tarbagatai to join up with his Khoit clansmen. With a thousand men, he then marched to Ili where they surprised Lama Dorji and killed him on 13January 1753. Other sources claim that Lama Dorji was killed by his own troops in December 1752. Dawachi then assumed the title taisha of the Dzungars.

47793123 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallis%20Annenberg%20Wildlife%20Crossing | Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing | The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing (formerly Liberty Canyon Wildlife Crossing) is a vegetated overpass spanning the Ventura Freeway and Agoura Road under construction at Liberty Canyon in Agoura Hills, California. The bridge will be one of the largest urban wildlife crossings in the world, connecting the Simi Hills and the Santa Monica Mountains over a busy, 10-lane freeway.
Background
The bridge is meant to allow animals to circulate through and thrive in habitats that are fragmented by human development. The crossing is particularly critical for the mountain lions of the Santa Monica Mountains, which have declined and become genetically isolated because the Ventura Freeway prevents them from moving between the mountains and the Simi Hills to the north. Other species expected to benefit from the crossing include bobcats, coyotes, gray foxes, birds of prey, skunks, rodents, American badgers, American Black Bears, fence lizards and Mule deer.
In 2020, wildlife biologists found the first evidence of physical abnormalities in the isolated population. Newcomers would bring new genetic material into the mountains where the lack of genetic diversity is a serious threat to their long-term survival. It would allow young mountain lions born in the Santa Monica Mountains the chance to find new territory before possibly being killed by one of the dominant older males.
Freeway traffic is one of the primary threats to mountain lions' survival in Southern California. Since 2002, at least a dozen have been killed by motorists on the section of freeway paralleling the Santa Monica Mountains. In 2013, a mountain lion, traveling from the north and on the verge of bringing new genetic material, died trying to cross at this location. GPS tracking collars fitted by the researchers show that most mountain lions approach this particular area and turn back without attempting the hazardous crossing of the freeway.
This will be the first bridge on the California highway system designed specifically for fostering wildlife connectivity. The Ventura Freeway is a heavily travelled commuter route serving the Greater Los Angeles area and connecting Los Angeles and Ventura Counties with about 300,000 cars a day. The site is about northwest of downtown Los Angeles.
Scientists identified Liberty Canyon as the best location for a wildlife crossing in a 1990 study commissioned by the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. Acquisition by the conservancy and other partners of privately owned land began to create one of the few areas with the lands on both sides of the freeway that are publicly owned and protected. The crossing is situated along a wildlife corridor within the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area that consists of thousands of acres of local, state and federally protected lands and stretches northerly from Los Angeles into Ventura County. The county of Ventura has adopted a wildlife corridor protection ordinance that restricts activities that will impede the movement of mountains lions and other wildlife between the Santa Monica Mountains and the Los Padres National Forest.
Design
In 2015, the Resource Conservation District of the Santa Monica Mountains published a design for a and overpass for the wildlife crossing. To encourage use by wildlife, the bridge will have lush but drought-tolerant vegetation with matte materials to deflect bright headlights and insulation to quiet the roar of cars. Fencing at each end will help funnel them onto the crossing. A second phase of the project will cross a frontage road that is parallel with the freeway.
Landscaping of the nearly includes of habitat restoration in the area. The restoration is partially needed because the 2018 Woolsey Fire burned through the wildlife corridor as it was pushed by strong Santa Ana winds in a southerly direction, and crossed the freeway in this area.
The draft environmental document was released in 2017. A tunnel was considered as an alternative, but it would be less able to attract usage by wildlife and wouldn’t sustain vegetation. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) oversaw design and construction as it crosses a major transportation route.
Funding campaign
In 2014, the National Wildlife Federation, the Santa Monica Mountains Fund, and the #SaveLACougars campaign began to raise money for the project. The inspiration for the project, as well as the funding drive's "poster puma", was P-22, a mountain lion that survived crossing two freeways, the 101 and the 405, to reach Griffith Park at the easterly end of the Santa Monica Mountains. P-22 became a local celebrity; his death in 2022 would further stimulate awareness and funds for the campaign.
In 2014, the California Wildlife Conservation Board gave a $650,000 grant to the Resource Conservation District of the Santa Monica Mountains for the design of the crossing.
In 2015, the California Coastal Commission gave a $1 million grant to Caltrans for environmental assessment. Private donors were encouraged to contribute. The project stalled for years due to lack of funding. In May 2021, the Annenberg Foundation pledged to donate another $25 million once the project raised $35 million. As of mid-April 2022, donations totaled more than $87 million, with more than 5,000 people, foundations, agencies, and businesses contributing expertise and donations.
The project costs around $90 million, with funding from private donations covering about 60% and the rest coming from public funds set aside for conservation purposes.
Construction
A groundbreaking ceremony was held on Earth Day in April 2022 with Governor Gavin Newsom, Wallis Annenberg, wildlife biologists and members of the public along with local, state and federal legislators. Caltrans set the beginning of construction for spring 2022 with construction to be completed within two years. Initial work included moving public utilities. As of mid-2024, the work is expected to finish in early 2025.

47793176 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design%20of%20plastic%20components | Design of plastic components | Injection molding has been one of the most popular ways for fabricating plastic parts for a very long time. They are used in automotive interior parts, electronic housings, housewares, medical equipment, compact discs, and even doghouses. Below are certain rule based standard guidelines which can be referred to while designing parts for injection molding considering manufacturability in mind.
Geometric considerations
The most common guidelines refer to the specification of various relationships between geometric parameters which result in easier or better manufacturability. Some of these are as follows:
Wall Thickness
Non-uniform wall sections can contribute to warpage and stresses in molded parts. Sections which are too thin have a higher chance of breakage in handling, may restrict the flow of material and may trap air causing a defective part. Too heavy a wall thickness, on the other hand, will slow the curing cycle and add to material cost and increase cycle time.
Generally, thinner walls are more feasible with small parts rather than with large ones. The limiting factor in wall thinness is the tendency for the plastic material in thin walls to cool and solidify before the mold is filled. The shorter the material flow, the thinner the wall can be. Walls also should be as uniform in thickness as possible to avoid warpage from uneven shrinkage. When changes in wall thickness are unavoidable, the transition should be gradual and not abrupt.
Some plastics are more sensitive to wall thickness than others, where acetal and ABS plastics max out at around 0.12 in. thick (3 mm), acrylic can go to 0.5 in. (12 mm), polyurethane to 0.75 in. (18 mm), and certain fiber-reinforced plastics to 1 in. (25 mm) or more. Even so, designers should recognize that very thick cross sections can increase the likelihood of cosmetic defects like sink.
Draft angles
Draft angle design is an important factor when designing plastic parts. Because of shrinkage of plastic material, injection molded parts have a tendency to shrink onto a core. This creates higher contact pressure on the core surface and increases friction between the core and the part, thus making ejection of the part from the mold difficult. Hence, draft angles should be designed properly to assist in part ejection. This also reduces cycle time and improves productivity. Draft angles should be used on interior and exterior walls of the part along the pulling direction.
The minimum allowable draft angle is harder to quantify. Plastic material suppliers and molders are the authority on what is the lowest acceptable draft. In most instances, 1degree per side will be sufficient, but between 2 degree and 5 degree per side would be preferable. If the design is not compatible with 1 degree, then allow for 0.5 degree on each side. Even a small draft angle, such as 0.25 degree, is preferable to none at all.
Radius at corners
Generously rounded corners provide a number of advantages. There is less stress concentration on the part and on the tool. Because of sharp corners, material flow is not smooth and tends to be difficult to fill, reduces tooling strength and causes stress concentration. Parts with radii and fillets are more economical and easier to produce, reduce chipping, simplify mold construction and add strength to molded part with good appearance.
Sharp Corners general design guidelines in injection molding suggest that corner radii should be at least one-half the wall thickness. It is recommended to avoid sharp corners and use generous fillets and radii whenever required. During injection molding, the molten plastic has to navigate turns or corners. Rounded corners will ease plastic flow, so engineers should generously radius the corners of all parts. In contrast, sharp inside corners result in molded-in stress particularly during the cooling process when the top of the part tries to shrink and the material pulls against the corners. Moreover, the first rule of plastic design i.e. uniform wall thickness will be obeyed. As the plastic goes around a well-proportioned corner, it will not be subjected to area increases and abrupt changes in direction. Cavity packing pressure stays consistent. This leads to a strong, dimensionally stable corner that will resist post-mold warpage.
Hole depth to diameter ratio
Core pins are used to produce holes in plastic parts. Through holes are easier to produce than blind holes which don't go through the entire part. Blind holes are created by pins that are supported at only one end; hence such pins should not be long. Longer pins will deflect more and be pushed by the pressure of the molten plastic material during molding. It is recommended that hole depth-to-diameter ratio should not be more than 2.
Feature Based Rules
Ribs
Rib features help in strengthening the molded part without adding to wall thickness. In some cases, they can also act as decorative features. Ribs also provide alignment in mating parts or provide stopping surfaces for assemblies. However, projections like ribs can create cavity filling, venting, and ejection problems. These problems become more troublesome for taller ribs. Ribs need to be designed in correct proportion to avoid defects such as short shots and provide the required strength. Thick and deep ribs can cause sink marks and filling problems respectively. Deep ribs can also lead to ejection problems. If ribs are too long or too wide, supporting ribs may be required. It is better to use a number of smaller ribs instead of one large rib.
Recommended values for parameters: Generally, the rib height is recommended to be not more than 2.5 to 3 times the nominal wall thickness. Similarly, rib thickness at its base should be around 0.4 to 0.6 times the nominal wall thickness.
Minimum base radius for ribs: A fillet of a certain minimum radius value should be provided at the base of a rib to reduce stress. However, the radius should not be so large that it results in thick sections. The radius eliminates a sharp corner and stress concentration. Flow and cooling are also improved. Fillet radius at the base of ribs should be between 0.25 and 0.4 times the nominal wall thicknesses of the part.
Draft angle for ribs: Draft angle design is an important factor when designing plastic parts. Such parts may have a greater tendency to shrink onto a core. This creates higher contact pressure on the core surface and increases friction between the core and the part, thus making ejection of the part from the mold difficult. Hence, draft angles should be designed properly to assist in part ejection. This also reduces cycle time and improves productivity. Draft angles should be used on interior or exterior walls of the part along the pulling direction. It is recommended that draft angle for rib should be around 1 to 1.5 deg. Minimum draft should be 0.5 per side.
Spacing between two parallel ribs: Mold wall thickness gets affected due to spacing between various features in the plastic model. If features like ribs are placed close to each other or the walls of the parts, thin areas are created which can be hard to cool and can affect quality. If the mold wall is too thin, it is also difficult to manufacture and can also result in a lower life for the mold due to problems like hot blade creation and differential cooling. It is recommended that spacing between ribs should be at least 2 times the nominal wall.
Boss
Boss, a basic design element in plastics, is typically cylindrical and used as a mounting fixture, location point, reinforcement feature or spacer. Under service conditions, bosses are often subjected to loadings not encountered in other sections of a component.
Minimum radius at base of boss: Provide a generous radius at the base of the boss for strength and ample draft for easy part removal from the mold. A fillet of a certain minimum radius value should be provided at the base of boss to reduce stress. The intersection of the base of the boss with the nominal wall is typically stressed and stress concentration increases if no radii are provided. Also, the radius at the base of the boss should not exceed a maximum value to avoid thick sections. The radius at base of boss provides strength and ample draft for easy removal from the mold. It is recommended that the radius at the base of boss should be 0.25 to 0.5 times the nominal wall thickness.
Boss height to outer diameter ratio: A tall boss with the included draft will generate a material mass and thick section at the base. In addition, the core pin will be difficult to cool, can extend the cycle time and affect the cored hole dimensionally. It is recommended that height of boss should be less than 3 times of outer diameter.
Minimum radius at tip of boss: Bosses are features added to the nominal wall thickness of the component and are usually used to facilitate mechanical assembly. Under service conditions, bosses are often subjected to loadings not encountered in other sections of a component. A fillet of a certain minimum radius value should be provided at the tip of boss to reduce stress.
Wall thickness of boss: Wall thicknesses for bosses should be less than 60 percent of the nominal wall to minimize sinking. However, if the boss is not in a visible area, then the wall thickness can be increased to allow for increased stresses imposed by self-tapping screws. It is recommended that wall thickness of boss should be around 0.6 times of nominal wall thickness depending on the material.
Radius at base of hole in boss: Bosses find use in many part designs as points for attachment and assembly. The most common variety consists of cylindrical projections with holes designed to receive screws, threaded inserts, or other types of fastening hardware. Providing a radius on the core pin helps in avoiding a sharp corner. This not only helps molding but also reduces stress concentration. It is recommended that the radius at base of hole in boss should be 0.25 to 0.5 times the nominal wall thickness.
Minimum draft for boss inner and outer diameter: An appropriate draft on the outer diameter of a boss helps easy ejection from the mold. Draft is required on the walls of boss to permit easy withdrawal from the mold. Similarly, designs may require a minimum taper on the ID of a boss for proper engagement with a fastener. Draft is required on the walls of boss to permit easy withdrawal from the mold. It is recommended that minimum draft on outer surface of the boss should be greater than or equal to 0.5 degree and on inner surface it should be greater than 0.25 degrees.
Spacing between bosses: When bosses are placed very close to each other, it results in creating thin areas which are hard to cool and can affect the quality and productivity. Also, if the mold wall is too thin, it is very difficult to manufacture and often results in a lower life for the mold, due to problems like hot blade creation and differential cooling. It is recommended that spacing between bosses should be at least 2 times the nominal wall thickness.
Standalone boss: Bosses and other thick sections should be cored. It is good practice to attach the boss to the sidewall. In this case the material flow is uniform and provides additional load distribution for the part. For better rigidity and material flow, the general guideline suggests that boss should be connected to nearest side wall.
Undercut detection
Undercuts should be avoided for ease of manufacturing. Undercuts typically require additional mechanisms for manufacture adding to mold cost and complexity. In addition, the part must have room to flex and deform. Clever part design or minor design concessions often can eliminate complex mechanisms for undercuts. Undercuts may require additional time for unloading molds. It is recommended that undercuts on a part should be avoided to the extent possible.
Fillet
Sharp corners increase concentrations, which are prone to air entrapments, air voids, and sink marks hence weakening the structural integrity of the plastic part. It must be eliminated using radii whenever is possible.
It is recommended that an inside radius be a minimum of one times the thickness.
At corners, the suggested inside radius is 0.5 times the material thickness and the outside radius is 1.5 times the material thickness. A bigger radius should be used if part design allows
Holes
Holes can be possibly made on slides but can result in generation of weld lines.
Minimum spacing between 2 holes or a hole and a sidewall should be equal to the diameter of the hole.
The hole should be located at a minimum distance of 3 times the diameter from the edge of a part, to minimize stresses.
A through hole is preferred over a blind hole because core pin that produces a hole can be supported at both ends and is less likely to bend.
Holes in the bottom of a part are better than holes in side, which require retractable core pins.
Depth of blind holes should not be more than 2 times the diameter.
Steps should be used to increase the depth of a deep blind hole.
For through holes, cutout sections in the part can shorten the length of a small-diameter pin.
Use overlapping and offset mold cavity projections instead of core pins to produce holes parallel to the die parting line (perpendicular to the mold movement direction).
Simulation
The design of injection moulded components can be further improved and optimised by using injection moulding simulation software such as Autodesk Moldflow and SolidWorks Plastics. This software works with components designed in CAD to simulate how a polymer behaves when it enters a injection mould cavity. It can predict how the molten material flows and freezes, any part geometry that is too thin or too thick and if there are any weaknesses created in the plastic from defects such as weld lines.
When simulation is undertaken in the design phase of a project, in advance of the tool being manufactured, it can help to identify the problems discussed above and allow the designer to iteratively modify and re-simulate the design to make improvements. Use of simulation in the design phase can help to reduce problems with the physical mould and therefore reduce time to market, reduce the use of material and energy, prevent surface defects such as sink and flow marks, and reduce the time taken to inject, cool and eject the part, improving the injection moulding machine's output rate.

The correlations in muscle activity are quantified in frequency domain, and therefore referred to as intermuscular coherence.
History
The synchronisation of motor units of a single muscle in animals and humans are known for decades. The early studies that investigated the relationship of EMG activity used time-domain cross-correlation to quantify common input. The explicit notion of presence of synchrony between motor units of two different muscles was reported at a later time. In the 1990s, coherence analysis was introduced to examine in frequency content of common input.

Intermuscular coherence can be used to investigate the neural circuitry involved in motor control. Correlated muscle activity indicates common input to the motor unit pools of both muscles and reflects shared neural pathways (including cortical, subcortical and spinal) that contribute to muscle activity and movement. The strength of intermuscular coherence is dependent on the relationship between muscles and is generally stronger between muscle pairs that are anatomically and functionally closely related. Intermuscular coherence can therefore be used to identify impairments in motor pathways.
