George School

George School is a private Quaker (Society of Friends) boarding and day high school located on a rural campus in Middletown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania (Newtown postal address). It has been at that site since its founding in 1893, and has grown from a single building (The building known as “Main”) to over 20 academic, athletic, and residential buildings. Besides the usual college preparatory courses, including an International Baccalaureate program, the school features several distinct programs deriving from its Quaker heritage. These include community service requirements, an emphasis on social justice and environmental concerns, required art courses, and community-based decisionmaking.

History
George School was founded in 1891 and opened in 1893. John M. George, who donated much of the money for the school, is the school's namesake. It was intended as a school for Hicksite members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). They wanted an alternative to Orthodox Westtown School. The two schools have remained friendly rivals in athletics, although they resolved the sectarian rift between them in the 1950s. The Patterson Cup (commonly known as "the moose" for the moose head at Westtown, where the tally was kept by hanging tea bags on alternating antlers) is awarded each year to the school which has won the most varsity and junior varsity contests between the schools. An alumni fundraising competition between the schools, the "Machemer Cup" also exists.

The campus was built on 227 acre of the Worth Farm. The owners retained 60 acre, including the 1756 Tate House and 1804 Worth House. The school gave over the bulk of its property in the early years to a farm managed for its benefit. The farm produced the school's milk and meat until the farm closed in 1967. The school purchased the remaining property, including the two historic houses, in 1945. The school leased or gifted parts of the campus to Newtown Friends School in 1947 and the Pennswood retirement community in 1979.

The first headmaster, George Maris, had been a strong voice in favor of "guarded education," separated from worldly vices, for Hicksite Friends. Maris was one of the group of Hicksites who courted George and secured a codicil to his will 74 days before his death. Maris was an ineffective headmaster, although the reasons for his lack of success are unclear; Maris was forced out of his position in 1901 and replaced by Joseph Walton, who had also been part of the founding group.

The new headmaster, Joseph Walton, had been a leading candidate for the presidency of Swarthmore College, the Hicksite-sponsored Friends college, in 1898. During Walton's tenure as head of George School (1901–1912), the school overcame what had been a troubled balance sheet by expanding. The school built a new dormitory, Drayton Hall, in 1903 (the school had built Orton in a fit of optimism in 1897), and the first separate classroom building, Retford Hall, in 1903. Unlike Maris, Walton opposed the idea of "guarded" education and encouraged arts education. Walton died of a duodenal ulcer, aged 57.

George Walton, the son of Joseph Walton, served as headmaster from 1912 to 1948, the longest term of any head of school. There was little new construction during his term (the one major building was Bancroft Hall, built in 1931), but considerable social change. The enrollment nearly doubled, from 226 to 425, while the number of Quakers attending remained about the same, lowering the proportion. The school accepted its first black student in the 1940s and introduced social dancing and football. Outside of the school, he was a prominent voice within the Friends community. He was part of the group that founded the Pendle Hill study center in 1930; he accompanied two of that group, the well-known writer Rufus Jones and D. Robert Yarnall on a 1938 mission to Germany on behalf of the American Friends Service Committee to allow that group to distribute relief in Poland, then under occupation. After retiring from George School, he was an instrumental figure in reconciling the Hicksite and Orthodox Philadelphia Yearly Meetings in 1955.

Following World War II, teacher Walter Mohr, who had also worked with the American Friends Service Committee, organized affiliations with two German schools, Jacobi Gymnasium for boys in Düsseldorf and Gertraudenschule for girls in Berlin, at first sending relief supplies and organizing student exchanges. In 1950, the first of almost twenty years of German workcamps began. In the late 1960s, these affiliations and work camps began to spread to Russia, Africa, and Latin America and included work projects domestically.

The next headmaster, Richard McFeely, ushered in an era of campus growth and a change to a less formal relationship between students and faculty: McFeely insisted on being addressed by first name. McFeely was generally known as "Mr. Dick." McFeely had contracted polio while a student at Swarthmore. McFeely was friendly with Franklin D. Roosevelt, having spent time with him at Warm Springs, Georgia. During McFeely's time as the head of school (1948–1966), the school constructed the Alumni Gym, Hallowell Hall, McFeely Library (so named after his death), and Walton Center. McFeely retired because of poor health from polio and died within the year.

During the mid-1950s, Julian Bond, later a prominent civil rights leader, attended George School. While Bond encountered some cases of racism while attending there, he was impressed by the anti-racist philosophy of the school and first encountered ideas of non-violence and social action. One event, in particular, involved Bond, a varsity athlete, going to Philadelphia with his white girlfriend while wearing George School apparel. Upon returning, the school dean reprimanded him. George School has claimed it was enforcing a policy of not wearing George School insignia apparel off-campus; Bond alleged that the reprimand was racially-motivated and "That was just like somebody stopping you and slapping you across the face."

Eric Curtis, an Englishman and a former faculty member at Earlham College, was brought in to be the headmaster after McFeely, serving from 1967 (there was an interim head for 1966–67) until 1979. Curtis oversaw a tumultuous time of change in the social relationships within the school, as assertive students and younger faculty battled older faculty and administrators (and George School Committee) over various procedures. The two significant new buildings in Curtis' time were the Science Center and the Sports Center.

David Bourns was head of school from 1979 to 2001 when he left to head the Paul Cuffee charter school in Providence, Rhode Island. Bourns' time began as a recentering after the tumult of the previous decade. A new emphasis on academic rigor was enforced, along with more focused activism: the school built an Alternative Energy Center in the mid-1980s and for several years hosted a regional "Peace Fair." Nancy Starmer, the first non-member of the Society of Friends to head the school, succeeded him.

On September 18, 2007, Barbara Dodd Anderson, George School Class of 1950, gave a gift of $128.5 million to George School. The gift is to be received over twenty years from an irrevocable charitable lead trust and is the single largest gift to an existing private school in U.S. history. The gift has its origins with billionaire businessman and philanthropist, Warren Buffett. Buffett was a student of Anderson's father, David Dodd, an economist and professor at Columbia University School of Business. Dodd became an early investor in Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. Ms. Dodd Anderson, Mr. Buffet, and Mollie Dodd Anderson, granddaughter of Barbara Dodd Anderson, were present for the dedication of the new LEED Gold Certified Learning Commons and Mollie Dodd Anderson Library on October 17, 2009.

On April 27, 2015, George School became the first preparatory school in the nation to divest its endowment from coal.

Governance
The George School Committee governs George School, self-perpetuating by approval of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Society of Friends. Quaker influences on the school are apparent in many of the Friends-derived procedures of the school, especially in the consensus format for faculty and other committee meetings, in which all present must either agree to proposals or "stand aside" for them to be approved. A four-year course of spiritual study begins with a term of Essentials of a Friends Community in the student's first year, followed by two terms of Faith Traditions, an in-depth World Religions course. Additionally, all students and faculty gather for a thirty-minute Meeting for Worship once a week, and all boarding students and resident faculty attend a longer meeting on Sundays. Also, in the Quaker spirit, since 1942, every student has had a "co-op" job, the equivalent to other schools' work-study jobs, but shared equally among all students regardless of their financial aid status. Finally, in the most apparent difference between outsiders, teachers and students usually refer to one another on a first-name basis.

Curriculum
George School offers a college-preparatory course of study. To graduate, students must complete four years of English, three years of mathematics, three years of history, three years of science, three years of arts, and religious courses, and demonstrate third-year proficiency in a foreign language.

George School offers the two-year International Baccalaureate program, which certifies students to attend colleges and universities worldwide.

George School also offers Advanced Placement courses and examinations in Biology, Calculus (AB), English, U.S. History, Human Geography, Chemistry, Physics, Statistics and the school's four foreign languages: French, Spanish, Latin and Chinese. Additionally, students in the Portfolio Preparation class have been known to submit their work for the Art AP.

Students must take three full years of art. George school offers classes in ceramics, chorus, dance, digital imaging, drama, music seminar, newspaper (The Curious George, formerly The George School News), painting and drawing, photography, stagecraft, film production, orchestra, woodworking, and yearbook.

Service
All George School students must complete a 65-hour community service project before graduating. Students work on projects and in programs that reflect Friends' practices. Projects must be grounded in one-on-one contact with communities and persons who are disempowered because of social, racial, economic, or health factors. These projects include intense, two-week experiences in school-sponsored, domestic or international work camps; once-a-week experiences that extend throughout the school year; and preapproved independent projects. Students may complete service projects during the school year or on vacation after their second year.

Recent service trips include India; Nicaragua; Cuba; Costa Rica; Boston, Massachusetts; Coastal Mississippi; and The Palestinian territories; France; South Africa; Ghana; Arizona; New Orleans, Louisiana; Americus, Georgia; South Carolina; Virginia Beach, Virginia; Washington, D.C.; West Virginia; South Korea; Vietnam; and China.

While more than half of the students at George School are on significant financial aid, proportionally few of those students can afford to go on international service trips as the maximum scholarship offered on most trips amounts to roughly half of the total costs, which range from $2000 to over $5000.

Athletics
Students are almost always required to play a competitive sport or participate in a physical education program. Since 1996, certain fully-scheduled students may take one trimester with no athletics. Still, first- and second-year students must play two interscholastic competitive sports, and juniors and seniors must play one:

 * Fall: cross country, equestrian, field hockey, football, cheerleading, Association Football, volleyball, and tennis (girls)
 * Winter: basketball, cheerleading (basketball), swimming, winter track, and wrestling
 * Spring: baseball, softball, equestrian, golf, lacrosse, tennis (boys), and track and field

George School competes in the Friends School League, but in certain sports, such as equestrian, football, and wrestling, this is not possible due to the small number of league members that also participate. There is an annual competition with Westtown which results in the awarding of the Patterson Cup, which most students and faculty refer to as "The Moose". The scores are based on the results of all varsity and junior varsity competitions between the two schools.

The school once had a swimming competency requirement for graduation.

Publications

 * The Curious George is the school's student-produced newspaper on campus, formerly The George School News, "G Magazine," and "The Gazette." It returned to the name "Curious George" in 2016.
 * The Georgian is the alumni newspaper circulated to alums, parents, and faculty.
 * Argo is a student-produced literary and arts magazine.
 * Opus is the school's yearbook.

Performing arts
The school has a very active performing arts program of long-standing. Although it is not formally an "art school," many of George School's most prominent alumni are performing artists.

Both student- and department-produced theater productions are performed in Walton Center. Shows range from conventional high school productions, such as Guys and Dolls, to more controversial pieces, such as the Laramie Project. George School's dance classes perform in the annual Dance Eclectic, a combination of student and faculty-created choreography. George School Community Chorus includes a mixture of students and adults and offers a yearly winter concert. George School's Musical Theater course performs a musical in Walton Auditorium in the spring or winter term.

Symbols and logos

 * The school's seal is an oil lamp with the inscription "Mind the light," referring to the Quaker conception of God's presence within all people as the inner light.
 * The logo consists of the two words of the name ("The George School" is incorrect) separated by a stylized tree, reminiscent of the large one on the south end of campus. The Katsura tree which inspired the logo was removed and replaced in 2014 due to its "frail and dangerous condition." The current logo, adopted in 2000, replaced a more stylized, "bare branch" logo adopted in the late 1970s.
 * The school colors were historically buff and brown, but those proved harder and harder to find for sports uniforms. Since autumn 2000, the school colors have been green and white.
 * The mascot is a cougar, portrayed by one of the cheerleaders.

Campus
Although its mailing address is Newtown, Pennsylvania, only a tiny part of its campus is in Newtown Township. Most of the campus is in Middletown Township. Both towns are in Bucks County.

Its property is now divided by the Route 332/Route 413 Newtown bypass, and the main entrance is on Route 413 south of the bypass.

The campus is adjacent to Neshaminy Creek, and Newtown Creek cuts through the property. Both are in the less-developed western part of the campus.

The Pennswood retirement community and Newtown Friends School, also Quaker institutions, are on George School land and adjacent to the campus.

George School Station
When founded, George School was relatively isolated. It had its own train station on the Reading Railroad's Newtown line (later the Fox Chase Line), and its own post office branch. SEPTA suspended commuter train service on January 14, 1983.

Meetinghouse
The campus meetinghouse was originally the 12th Street Meeting House at 10 South 12th Street, Philadelphia. Built 1812–1814, it incorporated materials from the Greater Meeting House at 2nd and Market Streets dating back to 1755. The building became redundant when the 12th Street Meeting merged with Race Street Meeting in 1956 to form Central Philadelphia Monthly Meeting. The land was sold, but the building was saved from demolition by being dismantled and relocated to George School, 1972–1974.

Talk:Ye Shengtao

Headline text
Hi, everybody Could everyone add ur information with the translation of Chinese terms, pinyin and the original book name, and use the format as follows?

For instance ,

“Enlightened Youth” ("Kaiming Shaonian" 《開明少年》)

“Enlightened Youth” (<--translated English name)(Kaiming Shaonian(Pinyin) 《開明少年》(book name))

This can standarize the format and make this page more reader-friendly Thank you for ur cooperation :)

resizing the photo
Hi all,

I added the photo of young Ye. However, i have technical difficulty in resizing the photo into a smaller one(coz it will look better, i don't want it to be larger than the first photo on top). I would be grateful if anyone can help! Besides, i find that we have 3 headlines that are about' contributions' But i cant see any clear cut between them. In brief, there is no particular direction within the same part and things look like being randomly put in~i think we have to solve this out~--0101LAIyl 14:46, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Let's have a discussion
Hi all, LAIyl, maybe I can help you to resize the photo later:)

By the way, can you receive my e-mail? I'd talked sth about the content and the format, and I am trying to contact with other groupmates .Yes, we should have a clear direction. And I found that info here are overlapped.We should have a balance of every aspects.

BTW, could somebody who'd wriiten something about the literature supplement the original Chinese name and Pinyin for refernce? Thank you very much.

0101LAIsm

Concerning the style of writing and content to be included
Hi all,

Thx LAIsm for resizing the pic! My opinion is that there are too many'contributions'.I think the first one can be deleted. Besides, we have to distinguish 'contribution to literature' from ' contribution to Journalism ' I believe that literature is something more about the style of writing of Ye, say he was an writer of realism(which is already included) and then how his style affected others and their writing in contemporary literature..etc..

As for ' journalism', it may refer to his published work. But we have to be very careful when we catagarize items like his effort in language education, coz it may have contributed to both! Moreover, i think the writing style can have some changes. Now the content under 'literature' is just like commenting on/praising the writing of Ye, not really telling ppl his contribution.

What do u all think? --0101LAIyl 16:37, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

a little trouble......
sorry that i ve got a little trouble when i wrote the last two entries. after i ve finished and save it, i found that i havnt logged in...........the two entries of "147.8.235.61" was actually me and i ve edited them again after i ve logged in. sorry for the this....

Focus more on Mr. Ye 's journalist work
Hello everybody, As I find that we'd added too much information about Mr Ye's contribution to education and literature, yet his journalist work should not be ignore, can everyone help to find more information about this? (Remember Mr Ye is a famous publisher.)

I also agree that for the "literature" part, there are comment on his writing, this paragraph sound like appreciation. I suggest this part should be shorten, or add a sub-title to state how these writings are significant to his literacy work/ influence on readers/Chinese society or the world.etc.

Let's have a division of labour here:)

0101LAIsm 15:50, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Ye as a journalist
HI everyone

it seems that little information has been added for Ye's contribution to journalism. perhaps we could focus on this aspect.

cheers 0101CHANkyh

wade-giles for ye's name
hi all

i'd just like to add that, as taught in a lecture, wade-giles system is of certain importance if the age and background of the audience is unknown. It's because some, most of whom are of rather old age groups, have learnt the wade-giles system only.

that's why i've added it for Ye's name.

of course, any of us are the most welcome to make other suggestions.

thanks

0101CHANkyh

Proofreading
Hi all, Could anyone help proofread and double-check the newly-added information, in particular to "The May 30th Movement"? This part is very important, as it's highly related to Mr Ye's journalist work.

Also, it's time for us to standarize our layout and style here, pls edit the names in coherent style, to make it more readable :)

Work hard~ 0101LAIsm 18:14, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)0101LAIsm

Please add the external links here
Hi add, We should add some extra reference and provide the external links here.Could you add the link of websites relating to Mr Ye? Or could you suggest some reference materials like books or journal (please also provide the author, book name, publisher and the year of publishing).

Thank you very much!

0101LAIsm 10:35, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Great changes
Hi guys,

I have changed 'the influences in society' to 'ideologies'and rearranged the order. Pls feel free to give any opinions.BTW, i think we may have to rethink how we are going to present the information. Remain the same or make some changes? Having 'contribution to journalism' and ' contribution to literature' seem to be quite repetitive. Can we present ye's contribution in a better way?--0101LAIyl 19:19, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Ye's name
I think having the 'box' of Ye's pronunciation isn't a bad idea. It's probably clear-er than writing down the pin-yin and all that in the same paragraph. I mean, if i didn't understand any chinese, i would probably find it hard to understand what all those names and pronunciations are all about!

all in all, i suggest keeping the little box of pronunciation guide.

cheers 0101CHANkyh

will new stuff be ok?
hi all

sorry for gathering info so late but i've got some readings about Ye which are likely to be helpful for the article.

as Prof Chan points out that we should have reached the editing stage instead of putting new stuff in, will it be ok if i add some info tomorrow?

cheers 0101CHANkyh

More information
As we are lack of info in certain aspects, you're welcome to add info here.And we will help you edit it as soon as possible. Thank you for ur contribution:) 0101LAIsm 16:19, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

0101ZHANGy

Good progress
hey guys, impressive work in the past few days... especially the bibliography list and external links. keep on editing, rewriting, editing, editing, editing. long is not always better. (JMSC0101 TA - Li) Lfcho 15:05, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Helo, I am 0101LAIoy

Problem fixed
LAIoy, the problem was fixed, see if there is other problems :)

Dear groupmates, as tutor said "long is not always better", it's time for us to shorten the paragraph, make them more concise. We still have 2 days to go, Work Hard!

User:0101LAIsm 18:47, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

grammar and pinyin
i've made some grammatical changes.

though i'm not sure which if 'through his wholelife' and 'throughout his years of life' mean exactly the same thing, i have changed in for simplicity.

btw, do you guys think the tone marks of the pinyin are necessary? i have browsed quite a number of official sites of the mainland government's and i find that none of them note the tone marks on any words!

one more question, why is one of the picture a celebrity?

add oil~ 0101CHANkyh

Deleted information
I find that in the bibliography, there are publications which are not written by Mr Ye, just others' works, like "Ye Shengtao chuan lun" 《葉聖陶傳論》 1995 "Ye Shengtao ri ji" 《葉聖陶日記》1997 "Ye Shengtao yan jiu zi liao" 《葉聖陶研究資料》 1988 ,they seem like the reference book written by other authors, not Mr Ye himself. And "Novel Monthly"《小說月報》(1910-1932) has been included in the part of "publications", so I deleted them. If necessary, pls add them into "More materials about Mr Ye", those are the reference materials relating to Mr Ye, yet they are written by others. Sorry for inconvenience and Thank you for your contribution. 0101LAIsm 17:55, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

urgent! what's that citation?
Hi, I saw a citation under ideologies. I don't quite understand what it is?What's the source? Is it said by Ye? Could the contributor give a more detailed citation? thx--0101LAIyl 17:55, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Attention Please
Someone who'd added some info here please also supplement the English translation and pinyin here as soon as possible. Thank you very much. 0101LAIsm 06:33, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Beware of Overlapping
Hi all, I discovered that there are too many overlapping, esp for the newly-added information. I'd tried to categorize them into related aspects and deleted some repeated information. Actucally it's time for us to re-write sentence and do some proofreading, as we are lack of time to add and edit additional info now.Sorry about that. Really thank you for your contribution. "We'd already tried our best, we have no regrets"=P Well done~groupmates 0101LAIsm 08:54, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

pinyin
There's sth wrong with the pinyin. I see some of them become a square instead of a pinyin. Do u all see the same thing? We have to work together to change them!--0101LAIyl 13:57, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Deadline is coming!
LAIyL, I see no problem in pinyin. Maybe it is beacause the coding of ur window is different. Dear groupmates, We must do our best till last minute! Our Goal is approaching! keep on!

Please help standarize the format now~!

Bede Aircraft

Bede Aircraft Corporation was founded by aeronautical engineer Jim Bede in Cleveland in 1961 to produce the BD-1 kit aircraft, which eventually became the American Aviation Corporation's AA-1. The company also created and produced a number of advanced kit planes including the famous Bede BD-5 (pusher propeller driven) and BD-5J (turbojet driven). The BD-5J has held the Guinness record as the World's Smallest Jet Aircraft for more than a quarter century. Versions of it saw use in various Budweiser commercials (the Bud Light Jet, which was lost in an inflight fire and crash unrelated to airshow work). The tiny jet also appeared in two James Bond movies; Octopussy starring Sir Roger Moore, and later in a cameo appearance, hanging from the wall of Q's workshop in Die Another Day starring Pierce Brosnan as Agent 007.

A later design, the BD-10 powered by the same engine (GE J-85) used on Lear Jet business jets, claimed to be the first supersonic personal jet built from a kit. Five examples were built in total and three of these crashed. Only two examples remain, both unflyable. The second aircraft was built at the Peregrine Aircraft Company in Minden Nevada. During a flight Test at Douglas County Airport, the aircraft far exceeded the maximum safe flight test speed, and broke up inflight, killing pilot Mike VanWagonen. It was estimated that this aircraft experienced catastrophic vertical stabilizer failure, due to the excess speed during the flight. None of them ever broke the sound barrier. This aircraft was featured on the cover of Aviation Week in June 1994, with a full pilots report.

Shefford County, Quebec

Shefford County is an historical county in southern Québec, Canada. It is named after Shefford, a small town in Bedfordshire county, England of the same name and is in the Eastern Townships region of Québec.

Topographically, part of the county is situated on the western foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The county contains four small lakes, Lake Waterloo near Waterloo, Lake Boivin in Granby Township, Lake Roxton in Roxton Township, and Lake Stukely in Stukely Township. All of the lakes flow into the Yamaska River, except for Lake Stukely which feeds into the St-François River, both of which flow northwards and are tributaries to the Saint Lawrence River. A prominent feature of the county is Mont Shefford in the Township of Shefford, one of a series of the Monteregian Hills that lie in a line between the Appalachian Mountains and the Saint Lawrence River.

The county is shaped almost like a trapezoid. It is bounded in the south by Brome County (48 km; 45°17' N), in the north and northwest by Bagot County (35 km; 45°41' N), Richmond and Sherbrooke Counties in the east (35 km; 72°15' W) and in the west by Rouville County (34 km; 72°46' W).

The county is divided into seven townships of which six are square-shaped, three in the north (from east to west, the Township of Ely, the Township of Roxton and the Township of Milton); and three in the south (from east to west, the Township of Stukely, the Township of Shefford and the Township of Granby). The Township of Upton is a strip of land located in the northwestern corner of the county and measures 1,25 km by 6,25 km. The county seat is Waterloo, located in the Township of Shefford. The best known town in the county is Granby, located in the township of the same name, known for its annual song and musical festival. Another well known town is Bromont, located in the southwestern corner of Shefford Township. The town has Canada's only IBM plant and was the site of the 1976 Summer Olympics equestrian events.

In the early 1980s, Quebec abolished its counties, and Shefford County was divided and transferred to Acton Regional County Municipality (north), Les Maskoutains Regional County Municipality (northwest), La Haute-Yamaska Regional County Municipality (west), Brome-Missisquoi Regional County Municipality (southwest), Memphremagog Regional County Municipality (southeast), and Le Val-Saint-Francois Regional County Municipality (northeast).

Heroes to Zeros

Heroes to Zeros is the third and final studio album by The Beta Band, released in 2004. It was produced by The Beta Band and mixed by Nigel Godrich.

The cover illustration was created by comic book writer and artist Kaare Andrews. The Beta Band logo for the album was created by comic book artist Dave McCaig, later to be reused on The Best of the Beta Band.

The song "Liquid Bird" features a sample of "Painted Bird" by Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Mason later said, "We shouldn't have produced it ourselves, and if you think we did a bad job of producing it, we made an even worse job mixing it. We presented it to the label, and they immediately handed the whole thing over to Nigel Godrich to mix."

Kim Hye-soo

Kim Hye-soo (Korean pronunciation: [kim.he.su]; born September 5, 1970) is a South Korean actress. Kim was one of the most popular teen stars in the 1980s and 1990s. She is known for her headstrong independence and regularly playing strong-willed, sophisticated women.

Kim began her career in an advertisement for Nestlé Milo in 1985. She made her film debut as a leading actress in the film Kambo (1986), for which she received her first accolade as Best New Actress at 1987 Baeksang Arts Awards. She was the youngest winner of the Blue Dragon Film Award for Best Leading Actress in First Love (1993). Her most commercially successful role was Madam Jeong in the crime film Tazza: The High Rollers (2006), which also won her third Blue Dragon Film Award for Best Actress.

Aside from her performances in films, Kim has appeared in many successful television series, including Partner (1994–1998), Did We Really Love? (1999), Royal Story: Jang Hui-bin (2002), The Queen of Office (2013), Signal (2016), Hyena (2020), Juvenile Justice (2022), and Under the Queen's Umbrella (2022).

Early life and education
Kim Hye-soo was born on September 5, 1970, in Busan, Dongnae District, the second of five children. She moved to Seoul Midong Elementary School while she was in third grade at Busan National Elementary School due to her father's work. While in elementary school, she was a member of the national Taekwondo children's demonstration team, and in April 1982 was the flower girl to present a bouquet to Juan Antonio Samaranch, the seventh President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

1985–1991: Career beginnings and break into cinema
In 1985, Kim featured in a commercial for Nestlé Milo and as well as the first K-pop music video, Cho Yong-pil's title song Empty In The Air. In 1986, Kim made her film debut on Kambo when she was a first-year high school student. She also won Best New Actress for Kambo at 23rd Baeksang Arts Awards. Kim went on to play the leading roles in the television series Samogok (1987), Sun Shim-yi (1988), and Senoya (1989). She co-starred with Roh Joo-hyun in When The Flowers Bloom And The Birds Cry (1990). In 1991, she landed the main role in Lost Love.

1992–1998: Television series and film success
Kim is referred to as a "Pencil Board Star" of the 1980s due to the popularity of pencil boards printed with her image. She has also been named a part of the "Troika of the 1990s" in Korea along with her contemporaries Kim Hee-sun and Shim Eun-ha for their nationwide fame. In 1993, Kim led the main role in the film First Love and gained critical acclaim for her portrayal of the archetypal innocent girl, winning a Blue Dragon Film Award for Best Leading Actress and earning her the title "Nation's First Love" although the film was a box-office failure.

1999–2004: Development of her career
Over two decades, she amassed a sizeable filmography of leading and supporting roles, notably in the television series Did We Really Love? with Bae Yong-joon and Revenge and Passion with Ahn Jae-wook, as well as the film Tie a Yellow Ribbon (1998). In the 2000s, Kim focused more on her career in film rather than television, featuring in Kick the Moon, YMCA Baseball Team and Three. At this time, she reinvented her image as a glamorous and confident femme fatale in Hypnotized (2004),

2005–2011: Revival by Tazza
Kim's roles in The Red Shoes (2005) and Tazza: The High Rollers (2006) were her most recognised and ushered her into the highest ranks of the Korean film industry A-list. Various film roles followed, such as a housewife secretly dating a college student in A Good Day to Have an Affair; a non-plussed aunt in Shim's Family; a prostitute in Eleventh Mom and a bar singer in Modern Boy (2008). She considers her collaboration with Han Suk-kyu in 2010's Villain and Widow as one of the highlights of her acting career. In 2009, Kim returned to television with Style, which was set in the fashion industry. She followed that with the mystery melodrama Home Sweet Home in 2010.

A frequent host of film awards ceremonies and TV variety shows, Kim became a host of MBC current affairs show W in 2015. Kim, an avid documentary fan, was considered a perfect it for the programme as it shifted its focus more to environmental and global issues. W with Kim Hye-soo premiered in July 2010, but was cancelled in October 2010, with Kim criticizing the network's decision.

2012–2015: Film success
In 2012, she reunited with Tazza director Choi Dong-hoon in The Thieves. Set amongst the casinos of Macau, the heist film became one of the highest-grossing films in Korean cinema history. Kim won the Award for Best Actress in a Film at the 20th Korean Culture and Entertainment Awards This was followed with a supporting role in Han Jae-rim's historical film The Face Reader.

In 2013, she headlined the romantic comedy The Queen of Office (also known as Goddess of the Workplace), an adaptation of the 2007 Japanese drama Haken no Hinkaku ("Pride of the Temp").

Kim next starred in Coin Locker Girl (also known as Chinatown) in 2015, the rare female-driven noir film. She said she didn't mind looking unattractive for her role as a ruthless crime boss, with makeup artists adding age spots to her face, gray to her hair, and flab to her stomach and hips with prostheses. Kim said it was "mentally agonizing" deciding whether to accept the role, but once she did, she felt "a surge of excitement" every time she stepped onto the set, and considered the film "a new challenge that (made her) heart race and (scared her) at the same time."

2016–present: Return to television and film
Kim made her small-screen comeback in 2016 with tvN's Signal, which was both critically and commercially successful. Kim as Cha Soo-hyun, acted opposite Lee Je-hoon and Cho Jin-woong as the first female police officer in the Special Task Force, later becoming the leader of the Seoul Cold Case Aquad. She won Best Actress at the 52nd Baeksang Arts Awards and the tvN10 Awards for her performance.

Kim then starred in the comedy drama Familyhood, a film directed by Kim Tae-gon, co-starring Ma Dong-seok and Kim Hyun-soo. Kim was nominated for Best Actress at 25th Buil Film Awards, 37th Blue Dragon Film Awards, and the 53rd Baeksang Arts Awards

In 2017, Kim also starred in the noir film A Special Lady. Directed by Lee An-gyu, Kim played Na Hyun-jung,a woman who becomes the second-in-command of a gangster organization-turned-leading business entity, opposite Lee Sun-kyun and Lee Hee-joon.

"Kim Hye-soo's Refugee Diary" was a documentary that aired on KBS1 in September 2017. Directed by Park Hye-ryeong, Jang Hyun-ho, and Lee Byung-han, with the script written by Kwon Hyeon-jeong. The documentary followed Kim Hye-soo's visits to refugees who had survived near-death experiences in the Mediterranean. During her travels in June 2017 to Serbia, Italy, and Greece, which were major refugee destinations, she witnessed the challenges faced by refugees. Despite restrictions, the number of refugees, especially children, continued to rise. Kim Hye-soo shared vivid stories of their journeys and expressed admiration for their resilience, particularly among children living alone without family or guardians.

In 2018, Kim starred in the IMF crisis film, Default, alongside Yoo Ah-in. She was nominated for Best Actress at the 55th Baeksang Arts Awards. Then she was cast in the science fiction film Return.

in June 2019, Kim signed on to appear in The Day I Died: Unclosed Case, Park Ji-wan's directorial debut. The film was released on November 12, 2020. Kim was nominated at the 57th Baeksang Arts Awards for the Best Actress in a Film category.

In 2020, Kim starred in the legal drama Hyena. She played Jung Geum-ja, a hyena who chased money and success no matter the cost. It aired on SBS TV from February 21 to April 11, 2020. She was nominated for Best Actress at the 56th Baeksang Arts Awards. She was honoured with Excellence Award at the 2020 Asia Contents Awards & Global OTT Awards for her performance in Hyena.

In March 2022, Kim gained international recognition for her lead role as judge Shim Eun-seok in the Netflix series Juvenile Justice, the most popular non-English show for two weeks straight. She was nominated for Best Actress at the 58th Baeksang Arts Awards. The same year she starred in the tvN historical drama Under the Queen's Umbrella as Queen Im Hwa-ryeong.

Public image and character
Kim has been a popular Korean sex symbol since she wore a low-cut dress as a Blue Dragon Film Awards host and Best Actress winner in 1993, and came to epitomize the era's sexual revolution.

Kim is known for caring about younger actors, and has been described by co-star Ma Dong-seok in Familyhood (2016) to be "the most considerate person to care for others." Her co-star Lee Sang-hee in the TV series Juvenile Justice said "Kim would write down unknown actors' names when she thought their acting was good, so that she could recommend them for suitable scripts in the future." Many actresses, including Son Ye-jin, Han Ji-min, Kim Nam-joo, and Yum Jung-ah have expressed special thanks and gratitude to Kim for her care.

Kim has a bachelor's in theater and film from Dongguk University. In 2013, Kim admitted to having plagiarized her master's thesis "A Study on Actor Communication," with parts copied verbatim from at least four books. She apologized for her actions, which she said stemmed from her busy schedule and ignorance of the seriousness of plagiarism. Kim consequently forfeited her master's degree in journalism and mass communications.

Relationships
Kim and character actor Yoo Hae-jin first met in 2001 after shooting the film Kick the Moon and became close in 2006 after appearing together in Tazza: The High Rollers. Rumors of the two dating surfaced starting 2008 although both continuously denied any romantic involvement until early 2010 when paparazzi photographs of the two were released, and the couple officially confirmed their relationship. Kim and Yoo broke up in 2011.

Philanthropy
In 2008, Kim donated the full amount of the narration fees of the documentary film "Forgiveness, Are You at the End of the Way" to the crime victim support fund.

In April, 2009, Kim displayed her pop art at the Seoul Open Art Fair. One of her collage paintings was sold for, and she donated the sum to charity.

On July 7, 2009, Kim participated in the "Style Meets Art" campaign co-hosted by cable channel OnStyle and Korean National Commission for UNESCO and donated the proceeds of her donated works to the Korean National Commission for UNESCO.

Kim donated for forest fire victims affected by the Goseong Fire of 2019.

In 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic exposed a shortage of masks, Kim donated to Hope Bridge Disaster Relief Association.

On March 7, 2022, Kim donated to the Hope Bridge Disaster Relief Association to help the victims of the 2022 Uljin and Samcheok wildfire as emergency relief funds.

On August 9, 2022, Kim donated to help those affected by the 2022 South Korean floods through the Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association.

On February 10, 2023, Kim donated through UNICEF to help children who were effected by 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake   and in the same month Kim posted a photo of the briquette service, which were the briquettes she donated.

On July 17, 2023, Kim donated to aid recovery from the 2023 South Korea floods through Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association.

I Am the Cheese

I Am the Cheese is a young adult novel by the American writer Robert Cormier, published in 1977.

Plot
The novel opens with protagonist Adam Farmer biking from his home in the fictional town of Monument, Massachusetts, (based on Cormier's hometown of Leominster, Massachusetts) to visit his father in the fictional town of Rutterburg, Vermont. The story alternates with transcripts of tapes between a "subject" and a doctor, Brint. The subject receives psychotherapy and is interrogated by Brint.

As the book continues, it is revealed that Adam is the subject, formerly Paul Delmonte of a small New York town. His father, "David Farmer", was a newspaper reporter who was enrolled in the Witness Protection Program (WPP). The family moved to Monument and escaped several close calls with their identities, but Adam's mother is killed in the penultimate chapter in a car collision, with his father fleeing the scene. Adam/Paul survives and is taken to a government mental asylum. The last chapter implies that WPP agents killed Adam/Paul's father and reveals that Paul is regularly interrogated on the topic. Each time, Paul is unable to handle the realization of his past and embarks on a delusional bike ride across the ground of the facility. At the end of the last tape, Brint recommends that Adam is "terminated" or continued to be questioned.

Characters

 * Adam Farmer (Paul Delmonte) – teenage protagonist
 * David Farmer (Anthony Delmonte) - Adam's father, a former newspaper man. He pretends to work for an insurance company.
 * Louise Farmer/Delmonte - Adam's mother
 * Amy Hertz - Adam's friend and love interest
 * Brint - Adam's questioner and "guide" as his doctor
 * Mr. Grey - agent in the Witness Protection Program
 * Arthur - a fat man in the town of Hookset who tells Adam of Junior Varney
 * Dr. Dupont - a friendly doctor in a mental hospital; Adam is his patient
 * Junior Varney - a troublemaker and thief in Hookset
 * Whipper and friends - bullies in Carver
 * Old man by the gas station - warns him about trusting strangers
 * The elderly couple - the man helps him out of the ditch, while the woman criticizes him
 * Aunt Martha - the only relative they're allowed to talk to

Title
This quote is the last verse from "The Farmer In The Dell", a song that Adam sings during the book: The cheese stands alone The cheese stands alone Heigh-ho, the merry-o The cheese stands alone He sings many of these songs throughout the novel. The song contains several characters, each taking someone with them when the farmer leaves, yet the cheese has nobody.

Adam believes that he is the cheese. He is the bait in a trap. Adam is alone in the world, his mother dead and his father missing, and he lives in a hospital.

Another point is that his father had taught him the song, possibly as a way to reinforce the new name, "Farmer," they had adopted.

Literary significance and criticism
Started in 1975, I Am the Cheese began Cormier's experimentation with first-person, present-tense narration. When Cormier sent the manuscript to the publisher of his previous novel, The Chocolate War, he was confused and depressed, convinced that he was alienating his new young adult audience because of the complex and ambiguous story. However, I Am the Cheese proved to be a success.

Awards and nominations
I Am the Cheese was named to five annual book lists according to the publisher description of the 20th anniversary edition. It won the 1997 Phoenix Award from the Children's Literature Association as the best English-language children's book that did not win a major award when it was originally published twenty years earlier. It is named for the mythical bird phoenix, which is reborn from its ashes, to suggest the book's rise from obscurity.

Film adaptation
I Am the Cheese was released as a movie in 1983, directed by Robert Jiras and starring Robert MacNaughton, Hope Lange, Don Murray, Lee Richardson, Cynthia Nixon and Robert Wagner. The screenplay was written by David Lange (Hope Lange's brother) and Robert Jiras.

 * In clothing, mesh is loosely woven or knitted fabric that has many closely spaced holes. Knitted mesh is frequently used for modern sports jerseys and other clothing like hosiery and lingerie
 * A meshed skin graft is a piece of harvested skin that has been systematically fenestrated to create a mesh-like patch. Meshing of skin grafts provides coverage of a greater surface area at the recipient site, and also allows for the egress of excess serous or sanguinous fluid, which can compromise the graft establishment via formation of haematoma or seroma. However, it results in a rather pebbled appearance upon healing that may ultimately look less aesthetically pleasing.
 * Fiberglass mesh is a neatly woven, crisscross pattern of fiberglass thread that can be used to create new products such as door screens, filtration components, and reinforced adhesive tapes. It is commonly sprayed with a PVC coating to make it stronger, last longer, and to prevent skin irritation.
 * Coiled wire fabric is a type of mesh that is constructed by interlocking metal wire coils via a simple corkscrew method. The resulting spirals are then woven together to create a flexible metal fabric panel. Coiled wire fabric mesh is a product that is used by architects to design commercial and residential structures. It is also used in industrial settings to protect personnel and contain debris. Additionally, coiled wire fabric mesh is used for zoo enclosures, typically aviary and small mammal exhibits.

Uses

 * Meshes are often used to screen out insects. Wire screens on windows and mosquito netting are meshes.
 * Wire screens can be used to shield against radio frequency radiation, e.g. in microwave ovens and Faraday cages.
 * Metal and nylon wire mesh filters are used in filtration.
 * Wire mesh is used in guarding for secure areas and as protection in the form of vandal screens.
 * Wire mesh can be fabricated to produce park benches, waste baskets and other baskets for material handling.
 * Woven meshes are basic to screen printing.
 * Surgical mesh is used to provide a reinforcing structure in surgical procedures like inguinal hernioplasty, and umbilical hernia repair.
 * Meshes are used as drum heads in practice and electronic drum sets.
 * Fence for livestock or poultry (chicken wire or hardware cloth)
 * Humane animal trapping uses woven or welded wire mesh cages (chicken wire or hardware cloth) to trap wild animals like raccoons and skunks in populated areas.
 * Meshes can be used for eyes in masks.

University Canada West

University Canada West (UCW) is a private, for-profit university in British Columbia, Canada. It was founded in 2005 by David F. Strong, the former president of the University of Victoria. UCW was purchased in 2008 by the Eminata Group and in 2014 sold to Global University Systems, its present owners. Based in downtown Vancouver, the university offers undergraduate and graduate programs in business and management. As of 2023, with nearly 14,000 international study permits, it is second only to Conestoga College for number of permits for post-secondary institutions in Canada.

Initial years (2005 – 2008)
University Canada West was founded as a for-profit university by David Strong, the former president of the University of Victoria, and a group of investors. It was intended to cater to British Columbian students who had been turned away from the province's public universities as well as the Asian Pacific market and had projected an eventual enrolment of 3000 students. The establishment of the university marked the first time in British Columbia that a for-profit institution had been authorized to use the designation "university," the result of the province's recently enacted, controversial Degree Authorization Act. UCW was approved in 2004 and opened its doors in 2005 in the former Blanshard Elementary School in Victoria, British Columbia. It initially offered undergraduate degrees in commerce, communications, geography, tourism, and economics and a master's degree in business. However, the geography, tourism, and economics programs were later dropped.

In an effort to expand its program offerings, UCW bought Victoria College of Art in 2006. The intention was to start a Bachelor in Fine Arts degree. However, after the takeover, enrolment at the art college dropped drastically from 150 students to 12. The university subsequently withdrew its request to the British Columbia Degree Quality Assessment Board for approval for the new degree. UCW opened a second campus in Vancouver in 2008.

Eminata Group ownership (2008 – 2014)
In 2008, the university was sold to the Eminata Group. At the time of the sale, it was reported that UCW was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy and struggling to attract students. Faced with declining enrolment at its Victoria campus, the university closed the site in February 2011. At the time of its closure the Victoria campus had only 24 students enrolled in academic degree programs. The announcement of the imminent closure was made one day after the deadline for a tuition refund had passed. The students were given the option of transferring to another college or to UCW's Vancouver campus. However, some students interviewed on CBC News said their preferred college was unwilling to transfer their UCW course credits, and they could not afford moving to Vancouver.

In March 2012, a two-part investigative feature in the British Columbian paper The Province reported on student complaints at UCW and two other Canadian colleges owned by Eminata. In October of that year, the Hindustan Times published an article reporting on interviews with over 30 students, graduates, faculty and former teachers and employees of UCW who "alleged that it [was] a university only in name, and that many of them were duped." The article noted that the university "vehemently" denied the allegations that the students were misled about the value of UCW degrees saying that it had many students who secured positions in industry and government, both in Canada and abroad. At the time of the article's publication, approximately 90% of UCW's students were from India. Earlier that year, when student complaints about UCW had begun to surface, India's Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University pulled out of a Memorandum of Understanding with UCW to jointly run an MBA exchange programme.

UCW's founder David Strong had been replaced as the university's president in December 2009. He was succeeded by Verna Magee-Shepherd, a former acting president of British Columbia Institute of Technology. Magee-Shepherd resigned in March 2012, and four months later Arthur Coren was named UCW's new president and vice-chancellor. Coren was previously the dean of Kwantlen Polytechnic University's business school.

Global University Systems ownership (2014 – present)
Eminata sold University Canada West to the Netherlands-based company Global University Systems in November 2014 at which time it had approximately 400 students enrolled in its in-person and online programs. According to a 2017 interview with Coren in The PIE News (an industry publication for the international education sector), the university's enrolment had increased since 2014 with 80% of its students coming from outside Canada. UCW had 52 graduates in the class of 2018. Of these, 14 came from India, 4 from the Middle East, 9 from the Far East, 10 from Canada, 7 from Africa, 4 from the Middle East, 4 from Europe, and 4 from Central and South America. The majority of the graduates were on the MBA program. Since then, the university has grown exponentially, with over 14,000 students from over 110 countries as of September 2023.

In 2019, Brock Dykeman was named new president of the university. In October 2023, Bashir Makhoul, President and Vice-Chancellor at the University for the Creative Arts (UCA) in the United Kingdom was named the university's new president and Vice-Chancellor, replacing Sheldon Levy.

In 2023, University Canada West accounted for 13,913 international study permits, more than any other post-secondary institution in British Columbia, and more than any other institution in Canada other than Conestoga College. This means, of their 14485 students, only 572 (4% of the total student body) were not on international study permits.

Campus
Earlier sited on two floors of an office building on Melville Street in downtown Vancouver, the university relocated in 2014 to the nearby London Building. The 10-storey London Building is located at 626 West Pender Street and was originally built in 1912 for the London and British North American Company.

University Canada West opened a new second campus, Vancouver House, in October 2020, which can accommodate up to 3,400 students. The Vancouver House campus is part of Vancouver House development, which was named by CNN in 2019 as one of the most anticipated buildings set to shape the world in 2020.

Ranking
In 2021, University Canada West received a 5-star QS Stars rating, an opt-in evaluation service that require the institution to pay a fee to be rated. University Canada West is not on the list of QS World University Rankings, as it is outside top 1,500.

Governance
In line with the bicameral system at many other Canadian universities, the governance structure of UCW is composed of an Academic Council and a Board of Governors. The Board of Governors oversees the strategic direction of the university including its fiduciary, legal and financial responsibilities. It is composed of two members nominated by Global University Systems (the university's owner), the university's president, and a minimum of four members external to both the university and its owner. As of 2018, the Board of Governors was chaired by Alfred Morris. He also serves on the board of directors at two other institutions owned by Global University Systems, Arden University and University of Law. The Academic Council oversees the university's academic programs and policies. It is composed of representatives from the university's staff, faculty, students and alumni.

Cyndi McLeod is the current chair of the Board of Governors.

In 2023, the Academic Council was renamed the Senate.

Although UCW does not receive public funds, the British Columbia Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills requires the institution to file audited financial statements. The institution also undergoes an annual quality review by the Degree Quality Assessment Board.

Academics
The university is accredited by the British Columbia Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills, and carries the Education Quality Assurance (EQA) accreditation under the 2003 Degree Authorization Act. The university is also a member of the British Columbia Council on Admission & Transfer. In 2017 the university's bachelors and post-graduate business degrees received accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).

As of 2019 UCW offers a Bachelor of Commerce, a Bachelor of Arts in Business Communication, and an MBA. The mode of study for these degrees is either full-time on campus or part-time online. It also offers an Associate of Arts degree.

Comb filter

In signal processing, a comb filter is a filter implemented by adding a delayed version of a signal to itself, causing constructive and destructive interference. The frequency response of a comb filter consists of a series of regularly spaced notches in between regularly spaced peaks (sometimes called teeth) giving the appearance of a comb.

Comb filters exist in two forms, feedforward and feedback; which refer to the direction in which signals are delayed before they are added to the input.

Comb filters may be implemented in discrete time or continuous time forms which are very similar.

Applications
Comb filters are employed in a variety of signal processing applications, including:

 * Cascaded integrator–comb (CIC) filters, commonly used for anti-aliasing during interpolation and decimation operations that change the sample rate of a discrete-time system.
 * 2D and 3D comb filters implemented in hardware (and occasionally software) in PAL and NTSC analog television decoders, reduce artifacts such as dot crawl.
 * Audio signal processing, including delay, flanging, physical modelling synthesis and digital waveguide synthesis. If the delay is set to a few milliseconds, a comb filter can model the effect of acoustic standing waves in a cylindrical cavity or in a vibrating string.
 * In astronomy the astro-comb promises to increase the precision of existing spectrographs by nearly a hundredfold.

In acoustics, comb filtering can arise as an unwanted artifact. For instance, two loudspeakers playing the same signal at different distances from the listener, create a comb filtering effect on the audio. In any enclosed space, listeners hear a mixture of direct sound and reflected sound. The reflected sound takes a longer, delayed path compared to the direct sound, and a comb filter is created where the two mix at the listener. Similarly, comb filtering may result from mono mixing of multiple mics, hence the 3:1 rule of thumb that neighboring mics should be separated at least three times the distance from its source to the mic.

Feedforward form

The general structure of a feedforward comb filter is described by the difference equation:
 * $$y[n] = x[n] + \alpha x[n-K] $$

where $$K$$ is the delay length (measured in samples), and $α$ is a scaling factor applied to the delayed signal. The $z$ transform of both sides of the equation yields:
 * $$Y(z) = \left(1 + \alpha z^{-K}\right) X(z) $$

The transfer function is defined as:
 * $$H(z) = \frac{Y(z)}{X(z)} = 1 + \alpha z^{-K} = \frac{z^K + \alpha}{z^K} $$

Frequency response

The frequency response of a discrete-time system expressed in the $α$-domain is obtained by substitution $$z = e^{j\omega},$$ where $$j $$ is the imaginary unit and $$\omega $$ is angular frequency. Therefore, for the feedforward comb filter:
 * $$H\left(e^{j \omega}\right) = 1 + \alpha e^{-j \omega K} $$

Using Euler's formula, the frequency response is also given by
 * $$H\left(e^{j \omega}\right) = \bigl[1 + \alpha \cos(\omega K)\bigr] - j \alpha \sin(\omega K) $$

Often of interest is the magnitude response, which ignores phase. This is defined as:
 * $$\left| H\left(e^{j \omega}\right) \right| = \sqrt{\Re\left\{H\left(e^{j \omega}\right)\right\}^2 + \Im\left\{H\left(e^{j \omega}\right)\right\}^2}

$$

In the case of the feedforward comb filter, this is:
 * $$\begin{align}

\left| H(e^{j \omega}) \right| &= \sqrt{(1 + \alpha \cos(\omega K) )^2 + (\alpha \sin(\omega K))^2} \\ &= \sqrt{(1 + \alpha^2) + 2 \alpha \cos(\omega K)} \end{align} $$

The $$(1 + \alpha^2) $$ term is constant, whereas the $$2 \alpha \cos( \omega K) $$ term varies periodically. Hence the magnitude response of the comb filter is periodic.

The graphs show the periodic magnitude response for various values of $$\alpha .$$ Some important properties:
 * The response periodically drops to a local minimum (sometimes known as a notch), and periodically rises to a local maximum (sometimes known as a peak or a tooth).
 * For positive values of $$\alpha,$$ the first minimum occurs at half the delay period and repeats at even multiples of the delay frequency thereafter:
 * $$\begin{align}

f &= \frac{1}{2 K}, \frac{3}{2 K}, \frac{5}{2 K} \cdots \\ \omega &= \frac{\pi}{K}, \frac{3\pi}{K}, \frac{5\pi}{K} \cdots \,

\end{align}$$
 * The levels of the maxima and minima are always equidistant from 1.
 * When $$\alpha = \pm 1, $$ the minima have zero amplitude. In this case, the minima are sometimes known as nulls.
 * The maxima for positive values of $$\alpha $$ coincide with the minima for negative values of $$\alpha$$, and vice versa.

Impulse response
The feedforward comb filter is one of the simplest finite impulse response filters. Its response is simply the initial impulse with a second impulse after the delay.

Pole–zero interpretation
Looking again at the $K = 1$-domain transfer function of the feedforward comb filter:
 * $$H(z) = \frac{z^K + \alpha}{z^K} $$

the numerator is equal to zero whenever $α$. This has $K = 1$ solutions, equally spaced around a circle in the complex plane; these are the zeros of the transfer function. The denominator is zero at $z$, giving $z$ poles at $z^{K} = −α$. This leads to a pole–zero plot like the ones shown.

Feedback form

Similarly, the general structure of a feedback comb filter is described by the difference equation:
 * $$y[n] = x[n] + \alpha y[n-K] $$

This equation can be rearranged so that all terms in $$y$$ are on the left-hand side, and then taking the $K$ transform:
 * $$\left(1 - \alpha z^{-K}\right) Y(z) = X(z) $$

The transfer function is therefore:
 * $$H(z) = \frac{Y(z)}{X(z)} = \frac{1}{1 - \alpha z^{-K}} = \frac{z^K}{z^K - \alpha} $$

Frequency response

By substituting $$z = e^{j\omega}$$ into the feedback comb filter's $z^{K} = 0$-domain expression:
 * $$H\left(e^{j \omega}\right) = \frac{1}{1 - \alpha e^{-j \omega K}} \,, $$

the magnitude response becomes:
 * $$\left| H\left(e^{j \omega}\right) \right| = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\left(1 + \alpha^2\right) - 2 \alpha \cos(\omega K)}} \, . $$

Again, the response is periodic, as the graphs demonstrate. The feedback comb filter has some properties in common with the feedforward form:
 * The response periodically drops to a local minimum and rises to a local maximum.
 * The maxima for positive values of $$\alpha$$ coincide with the minima for negative values of $$\alpha,$$ and vice versa.
 * For positive values of $$\alpha,$$ the first maximum occurs at 0 and repeats at even multiples of the delay frequency thereafter:
 * $$\begin{align}

f &= 0, \frac{1}{K}, \frac{2}{K}, \frac{3}{K} \cdots \\ \omega &= 0, \frac{2\pi}{K}, \frac{4\pi}{K}, \frac{6\pi}{K} \cdots \end{align}$$

However, there are also some important differences because the magnitude response has a term in the denominator:
 * The levels of the maxima and minima are no longer equidistant from 1. The maxima have an amplitude of $K$.
 * The filter is only stable if $z = 0$ is strictly less than 1. As can be seen from the graphs, as $K = 8$ increases, the amplitude of the maxima rises increasingly rapidly.

Impulse response
The feedback comb filter is a simple type of infinite impulse response filter. If stable, the response simply consists of a repeating series of impulses decreasing in amplitude over time.

Pole–zero interpretation
Looking again at the $α = 0.5$-domain transfer function of the feedback comb filter:
 * $$H(z) = \frac{z^K}{z^K - \alpha} $$

This time, the numerator is zero at $K = 8$, giving $α = −0.5$ zeros at $z$. The denominator is equal to zero whenever $α$. This has $K = 2$ solutions, equally spaced around a circle in the complex plane; these are the poles of the transfer function. This leads to a pole–zero plot like the ones shown below.

Continuous time implementation
Comb filters may also be implemented in continuous time which can be expressed in the Laplace domain as a function of the complex frequency domain parameter $$s = \sigma + j \omega$$ analogous to the z domain. Analog circuits use some form of analog delay line for the delay element. Continuous-time implementations share all the properties of the respective discrete-time implementations.

Feedforward form
The feedforward form may be described by the equation:

 * $$y(t) = x(t) + \alpha x(t - \tau) $$

where $α$ is the delay (measured in seconds). This has the following transfer function:

 * $$H(s) = 1 + \alpha e^{-s \tau} $$

The feedforward form consists of an infinite number of zeros spaced along the jω axis (which corresponds to the Fourier domain).

Feedback form
The feedback form has the equation:

 * $$y(t) = x(t) + \alpha y(t - \tau) $$

and the following transfer function:

 * $$H(s) = \frac{1}{1 - \alpha e^{-s \tau}} $$

The feedback form consists of an infinite number of poles spaced along the jω axis.

Spearmint (band)

Spearmint are a London-based independent band founded in 1995, comprising Shirley Lee (guitar, singing), Simon Calnan (keyboards, singing), James Parsons (guitar, bass) and Ronan Larvor (drums).

Original bassist Martin Talbot left the band after five shows, being replaced by Parsons in September 1995. Following Talbot's death, the band dedicated their debut album A Week Away to him in 1999. The dedication was repeated in 2009 when a 10th anniversary edition of the album was issued, including a new seven-song-cycle 'Life In Reverse', also in memory of Talbot.

All the group's records have been released on their own 'hitBACK' label, enabling them to maintain control over their artistic output. Most recent album 'Holland Park' is the 57th release on the label.

The band have worked together continuously since 1995, even while Parsons released a side project by Telley in 2009, and Lee released a solo double-album in 2011. At various times, the group has also been aided by Dickon Edwards, Andy Lewis and Rhodri Marsden. The group has received coverage in the NME, Time Out, Melody Maker and Uncut magazines. and were referenced in the film (500) Days of Summer wherein Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character states “It pains me we live in a world where nobody's heard of Spearmint.”

In 2009, Image Comics of Berkeley, California released the book 'This Is A Souvenir', a collection of graphic novellas based on the songs of Spearmint and Shirley Lee.

Spearmint released their tenth album 'This Candle Is For You' in late 2023. The album was very positive received critically, with Mojo placing it at number 53 in their Top 100 albums of 2023.

Arnold Sports Festival

The IFBB Pro Arnold Sports Festival, also known as the Arnold Schwarzenegger Sports Festival, is an annual multi-sport event consisting of professional bodybuilding (Arnold Classic), strongman (Arnold Strongman Classic), armlifting, fitness, figure, bikini and several others as a weekend expo. It was established in 1989 and is named after Arnold Schwarzenegger. The main event is held annually around late February or early March in Columbus, Ohio, by the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness Professional League (IFBB Pro League). It is considered the second-most-prestigious event in professional men's bodybuilding, physique, figure and bikini after Joe Weider's Olympia. When the Ms. International competition was hosted, until 2013, it was the second-most-prestigious event in professional female bodybuilding (after Ms. Olympia).

History
A lucrative sports competition, the ASF offers a number of large prizes. Most notably, first prize in bodybuilding consists of a $130,000 check, a Hummer vehicle, and an Audemars Piguet watch. Since the Mr. Olympia bodybuilding title pre-dates and offers higher prize money than the ASF, a rivalry in prestige and popularity has sprung up. The ASF is always hotly contested, often with one or two competition points separating the winners.

All-star cheerleading competitions span a two-day period (usually all day Saturday, and to midday Sunday). More than 4,000 competitors entered the cheerleading event in 2014. Each team (of 15–30 cheerleaders) prepares to perform a two and one-half minute routine. After the teams' routines are complete, they are scored by a panel of judges, each judge being an expert on one area of cheerleading (jumps, tumbling, stunting, etc.). Once scoring is complete, every team entered in the competition is called to the mat for awards, during which each team has a chance of winning multiple times. The ASF's awards consist of the following: National Champion jackets, trophies for every team, custom medals, limited edition patches and Grand Champion banners, and possible partial or full paid bid to Cheerleading World contests.

On June 7, 2013, the ASF's event promoter, Jim Lorimer, announced that from 2014 on, the ASF's "212" (a professional, men's bodybuilding division) would permanently replace the Ms. International women's bodybuilding competition. Lorimer, in a statement, said "The Arnold Sports Festival was proud to support women's bodybuilding through the Ms. International for the past quarter century, but in keeping with demands of our fans, the time has come to introduce the Arnold Classic 212 beginning in 2014. We are excited to create a professional competitive platform for some of the IFBB Pro League's most popular competitors."

On March 3, 2020 Ohio governor Mike DeWine cancelled most of the Arnold Sports Festival due to the oncoming COVID-19 pandemic in Ohio, before any cases or deaths had been reported. The cancellation was widely regarded as 'radical' at the time.

Capri Cafaro

Capri Silvestri Cafaro (born November 21, 1977) is a former Democratic member of the Ohio Senate, representing the 32nd District from 2007 to 2016. From the Mahoning Valley, Cafaro served three terms as an Ohio State Senator (2007 to 2016), including a stint as Minority Leader from 2009 to 2012. Her district included all of Trumbull County, Ashtabula County and portions of Geauga County (including the City of Chardon; but excluding Chardon Township).

She is a TV personality, appearing as a contributor on Fox News Channel, primarily as a semi-regular co-host of the afternoon talk show Outnumbered.

Early life, family and education
Cafaro was born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio. Her father is shopping mall developer John Cafaro. She is of Italian descent.

She attended Youngstown private schools Kennedy School and then Ursuline High School at age 12. By age 19, she graduated from Stanford University with a BA in American Studies and from Georgetown University with a MALS in International Studies.

Career
Cafaro served on the Trumbull County Senior Services Advisory Council and was a State Policy Liaison for Ohio with the National Patient Advocate Foundation. She was also a State Advocate Representative for the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare and served as a councilor for the Medicare Rights Center. Cafaro has also acted as an Economic Policy Associate for Global Action on Aging, an NGO with consultative status at the United Nations.

As a political novice, Cafaro won a surprise victory in the 2004 Democratic primary for Ohio's 14th congressional district, topping a five-candidate field, which included 2002 nominee Dale V. Blanchard, columnist Herb Hammer, U.S. Marine Charles L. Wolfe, and Ohio state Rep. Ed Jerse (who received the endorsement of the Akron Beacon Journal newspaper). Cafaro polled 54% of the vote, while Jerse, the second-place finisher, managed 19%. In the general election, however, she lost to Republican Steve LaTourette.

Cafaro again ran for the Democratic nomination in the open 13th Congressional District in 2006, placing second in a nine-candidate primary, behind future Congresswoman Betty Sutton. That seat was vacated by U.S. Representative Sherrod Brown, Democrat who replaced Republican Senator Mike DeWine in the U.S. Senate after defeating him on November 7, 2006.

As of 2017, Cafaro was the Executive in Residence at American University's School of Public Affairs and gave commentary on political events as a contributor on Fox News.

Ohio Senate
In 2007, Cafaro was appointed to the 32nd District of the Ohio Senate to replace Marc Dann after Dann won the Ohio Attorney General's race on November 7, 2006.

One year after becoming a member of the Ohio General Assembly, Cafaro secured a leadership position as the assistant minority whip for the Senate Democrats.

In 2008, Cafaro was elected to her first full term after running unopposed in the general election. Soon after, she was elected Minority Leader by her colleagues for the 128th General Assembly. Cafaro again served as Minority Leader in the 129th General Assembly. Cafaro would serve as Leader for three years until she stepped down and was replaced in 2012 as Ohio Senate Minority Leader by Senator Eric Kearney. She won a second full term to her Senate seat in the 2012 general election, defeating Republican Nancy McArthur 67% to 33%.

Cafaro played a prominent role in the Medicaid expansion efforts in Ohio, and has sought to codify the expansion permanently in Ohio law. She has offered legislation numerous times to do so.

Cafaro did not seek reelection to the Ohio state senate in 2016 due to term limits.
