Newman University (Kansas)

Newman University is a private Roman Catholic university in Wichita, Kansas. It is named for John Henry Newman and was founded by the Adorers of the Blood of Christ in 1933.

History
The college was founded in 1933 by the Adorers of the Blood of Christ as Sacred Heart Junior College. Courses were offered for women only, initially offering degrees in home economics, nursing, teaching, and secretarial science. In 1950, the college becomes a four-year institution and renamed to Sacred Heart College. The college added more facilities and courses during the 1950s and began accepting male students on a limited basis in 1958 in evenings and summer. The school became fully coeducational in 1965 and was accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary schools in 1967. The name of the school was changed to Kansas Newman College in 1973 and to Newman University in 1998. The school is named in honor of Saint John Henry Newman.

Campus

The main buildings of Newman University are all dedicated to someone important in Newman's history.

The Fine Arts Center is named after Maria De Mattias, the founder of the Adorers of the Blood of Christ. Maria taught herself to write and subsequently taught those from her local area who could not afford an education. Other figures from the history of the university have also had buildings named after them at Newman, such as Monsignor Leon A. McNeill, who was the first president of Newman as a college.

In 2010 Newman University began construction on the Bishop Gerber Science Center which now houses state-of-the-art science labs and classrooms. The project was completed in 2017.

The Gymnasium is named after the O’Shaughnessy family which has made generous donations towards Newman and were the lead donors for the athletic department. The family also supports scholarships and other buildings around campus such as De Mattias Fine Arts Hall.

The Dugan Library and conference center was named after John E. and Marilyn K. Dugan of Wichita for their donation of $2 million after the previous library was demolished.

Admissions ambassadors
These students dedicate their time to touring campus with potential students. Those who visit to learn more about the university will interact with ambassadors for a large portion of their visit.

Clubs and organizations
Newman University has more than 30 active clubs and organizations ranging from The Multicultural Leadership Organization to a Disc Golf Club. Many students are inducted into nationally recognized academic organizations such as Pi Gamma Mu.

These communities provide opportunities for students to develop their leadership, promote awareness of issues, expand professional and personal competencies, and engage with Newman University and local communities outside of the classroom.

Yap Ah Loy

Kapitan China Yap Ah Loy (Pha̍k-fa-sṳ: Ya̍p Â-lòi, Jawi: ; 14 March 1837 – 15 April 1885), also known as Yap Tet Loy and Yap Mao Lan, is an important figure of early Kuala Lumpur. He served as the third Kapitan China of Kuala Lumpur, and in this administrative capacity, played an important role in developing the city as a commercial and mining centre during the 19th century.

After the independence of the Federation of Malaya from the British Empire on 31 August 1957 and later the Formation of Malaysia in 1963, Kuala Lumpur became the capital of Malaysia. Today, there is a street named after him in the heart of Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur, known as "Jalan Yap Ah Loy" or "Yap Ah Loy Road".

Background
Yap Ah Loy was born in a poor village at what was formerly known as Canton province, southern China, on 14 March 1837. His parents lived in the town of Danshui/Tamsui in Kwai Yap district, Huizhou prefecture. He was a Hakka of the Fui Chiu (Chinese: 惠州) clan. Yap Ah Loy left China via Macau for British Malaya in 1854. On his arrival in Malaya, he found the place very different from China. The scenery, with tall coconut and betel palms, and the small Malay houses with atap (nipah thatch) roofs, was a new and fascinating experience to him.

On his arrival at Malacca, Yap Ah Loy was given shelter by one of his clansman called Yap Ket Si. He was then taken to a tin mine in Durian Tunggal, where he stayed for 4 months. He soon left for Kesang in northwestern Johore, where he found work in the shop of a relative named Yap Ng. He remained there for a year before arrangements were made to send him back to China via Singapore. Misfortune befell him when he lost all his money while waiting for the junk to set sail in Singapore for China. Instead of going back to Malacca, he and another of his relatives named Yap Fook travelled on foot to Lukut, then still part of Selangor (now Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan).

As Kapitan of Kuala Lumpur
Yap Ah Loy arrived in Lukut in 1856 at the age of 19. He spent his early years in the peninsula as a miner and petty trader, but in 1862 his fortunes improved when his friend Liu Ngim Kong succeeded Hiew Siew (Chinese: 丘秀) to become the second Kapitan Cina of Kuala Lumpur, a position not only of leadership within the Chinese community, but also of liaison with the Malay political system and, after British intervention in 1874, with British officials as well. He became Liu's trusted lieutenant and succeeded him as the third Kapitan Cina of Kuala Lumpur after Liu's death in 1869, after which he began to put together a sound administration and a strong fighting force.

Yap's appointment however was challenged by the "relatives" of Liu, and a group opposed to Yap emerged under the leadership of Chong Chong. There were also constant warfare between two Chinese gangs, the Hakka-dominated Hai San (dominant in Kuala Lumpur) and the Cantonese-dominated Ghee Hin (based mainly in the Kanching and Rawang area), who fought to gain control of tin production in the town. At Kanching, an ally of Yap Ah Loy, Yap Ah Sze, was ambushed and murdered, probably at the instigation of Chong Chong, another Hakka headman. Yap Ah Loy then took his men to Kanching to drive out Chong Chong in 1870, and 12 Chinese and 8 Malays were killed in what would become known as 'the Kanching Massacre'. Chong Chong then fled to Rawang and joined Raja Mahdi's faction in the Selangor Civil War that broke out earlier in 1867. Yap Ah Loy sided with Tunku Kudin in the civil war, and Kuala Lumpur was attacked in 1870 by Yap's enemies who sided with Raja Mahdi. A further attack was attempted, and in 1872, Raja Mahdi's forces led by Syed Mashhor captured Kuala Lumpur, forcing Yap Ah Loy to flee to Klang. Yap attempted to retake Kuala Lumpur, and in March 1873, Tengku Kudin's faction, with support from Pahang fighters, defeated Mashhor and recaptured Kuala Lumpur.

Yap's victory at Kuala Lumpur in 1873 placed him in a strong political position, and he was almost supreme in the interior of the state. However, Kuala Lumpur was gutted during the war and the mines flooded. Yap then set about rebuilding the town and rejuvenating the mining industry. He also improved the roads linking Kuala Lumpur with adjacent mining areas and other settlements. A slump in tin price mid 1870s however caused severe financial difficulties. He started a brick-making venture at Brickfields, as well as a tapioca plantation although that proved a costly failure. By the late 1870s he was in considerable debt and said to be almost bankrupt. However, a rise in the price of tin in 1879 improved his financial position as well as securing the future of Kuala Lumpur.

Yap's achievement in the postwar recovery of the mining industry established Kuala Lumpur as the economic centre of the peninsula. As the acknowledged leader of the Chinese community, he was given the powers similar to a Malay ruling chief by the British, except for the right to tax, a restriction he easily evaded. Through his control of the tin market, his ownership of local "farms" (monopolies on the sale of items such as opium and exclusive control of activities such as gambling, prostitution, racketeering and loan sharking), and his diverse business interests, he amassed a considerable personal fortune.

In 1879, the first British resident (government advisor) was assigned to Kuala Lumpur, and from that time the power of the Kapitan began to be undermined. None of Yap Ah Loy's successors approached his power and independence of action.

In 1884, Yap Ah Loy planned a visit to China, intending to appoint Yap Ah Shak and Chow Yuk to manage his property in his absence. For some reason the plan was never carried out. On 1 September that year, a violent storm struck the Klang Valley, causing widespread damage to property in Kuala Lumpur. The storm blew down 14 houses and a wing of the newly built Police barracks, as well as the barrack's residential area and the flagstaff.

Developer of Kuala Lumpur
In 1868, as the third Chinese Kapitan of Kuala Lumpur, Yap Ah Loy, emerged as leader. He became responsible for the survival and growth of this town. During the early times, Kuala Lumpur was beset with many problems, including the Selangor Civil War which devastated the town. It was also plagued by diseases and constant fires and floods. Kuala Lumpur was destroyed several times, but each time Yap rebuilt the town. He strove to develop Kuala Lumpur from a small, obscure settlement into a booming mining town. In 1880, the state capital of Selangor was moved from Klang to the more strategically advantageous Kuala Lumpur.

In 1881, a flood swept through the town following a fire which engulfed it earlier. These successive problems destroyed the town's structures made of wood and atap (thatching). As a response, Frank Swettenham, the British Resident of Selangor, required that buildings be constructed of brick and tile. Hence, Kapitan Yap Ah Loy bought a sprawling piece of real estate for the setting up of a brick industry which would spur the rebuilding of Kuala Lumpur. This place is the eponymous Brickfields. Destroyed atap buildings were replaced with brick and tiled ones. Yap also restructured the building layout of the town. Many of the new brick buildings mirrored those of shop houses in southern China, characterized by "five foot ways" as well as skilled Chinese carpentry work. This resulted in a distinct eclectic shop house architecture typical of this region. In this developing town, Yap owned a third of all the buildings in Kuala Lumpur, and two thirds of the urban land east of the Klang River, in addition to his control of the tin mines. Yap Ah Loy also spent $20,000 to expand road access in the city significantly, linking up tin mines with the city; these roads include the main arterial roads of Ampang Road, Pudu Road and Petaling Street.

As Chinese Kapitan, he was vested with wide powers on par with Malay community leaders. He implemented law reforms and introduced new legal measures. He would also preside over a small claims court. With a police force consisting of only six officers, he was able to uphold the rule of law. He built a prison which could accommodate 60 prisoners. Kapitan Yap Ah Loy also built Kuala Lumpur's first school and a major tapioca mill in Petaling Street in which the Selangor's Sultan Abdul Samad had an interest.

After Yap's death in 1885, the population of Kuala Lumpur increased greatly due to the construction of a Port Klang Line railway line, initiated by Swettenham and completed in 1886, which increased accessibility into the growing town. In 1896, Kuala Lumpur was chosen as the capital of the newly formed Federated Malay States due to its central position. It was however Yap who was responsible for keeping Kuala Lumpur viable as a town during its many setbacks in its early years. Although there are no public monuments commemorating Yap, according to the scholar on Malaysian history J.M. Gullick, "if you seek his memorial remember that you are in Kuala Lumpur."

Death
At the end of 1884, Yap Ah Loy fell ill with bronchitis and an abscess of the left lung. In March 1885, he made little recovery before he died on 15 April 1885 at the age of 47. The doctor examined Yap's body and later confirmed that his death was either due to heart failure or poisoning by the fumes of the charcoal brazier. The doctor also noticed the exceptional brightness of his eyes. He is buried in the large Kwong Tong Cemetery in Kuala Lumpur.

I (Meshuggah EP)

I is the fifth EP by Swedish extreme metal band Meshuggah. It was released on 13 July 2004 via Fractured Transmitter Recording Company. A remastered reissue was released on 30 September 2014.

The "Special Edition" adds "Bleed" and "Dancers to a Discordant System" live from The Ophidian Trek and Pitch Black.

Background
Meshuggah drummer Tomas Haake said of the EP, "That whole track was written and recorded just on random. Me and Fredrik would just jam on something, and when we found something that was kind of cool, he would walk into the control room. I would just record drums and it wasn't a set pattern, I would just kind of stray away from the pattern, but just keep going in that vibe. Then we had to chart everything and go bar by bar to record the guitars afterwards, because it's all just random." Thordendal would later post the chart of the first part of the song on his Instagram account.

Haake later commented that the song was "originally recorded for Jason Popson's Fractured Transmitter record label" and that it was a "'one-off' that Nuclear Blast gave us the go-ahead for — as we were under contract with them."

Track listing
The original vinyl release has track 1 on side A, and tracks 2-4 on side B while the 2016 re-issue only has track 1

Personnel

 * Tomas Haake – drums
 * Mårten Hagström – rhythm guitar
 * Jens Kidman – vocals
 * Fredrik Thordendal – lead guitar, bass

Nick Dasovic

Nick Robert Dasovic (born December 5, 1968) is a Canadian former professional soccer player who played as a midfielder.

He began his career with Croatian club HNK Segesta in 1988, followed by short stints at NK Dinamo Zagreb and NK Zagreb. He moved back to his homeland in 1991, playing first for North York Rockets, then the newly formed Montreal Impact in 1993. In 1995, he joined Vancouver 86ers before returning to Europe briefly to play for Stade Briochin. Another period with Vancouver 86ers in 1996 was followed by a short stint in Sweden with Trelleborgs FF. He finished his playing career with Scottish club St Johnstone, with whom he spent six years and made over 100 league appearances. He won promotion to the Scottish top flight in his first season in Perth.

His coaching career began with Whitecaps FC Reserves in 2006. He became manager of TFC Academy in 2008, a role he balanced briefly with a stint as manager of the Canada under-23s. In 2010, he was named interim manager of Toronto FC. The following year, he was installed as manager of the Canada under-20s, a role in which he remained for two years.

In 2021, he began his current role as manager of the Whitecaps FC Academy U-19s.

In November 1996, Dasovic signed for Scottish club St Johnstone. His first season in Perth saw the Saints win promotion from the Scottish First Division to the Scottish Premier League. Dasovic has been quoted as saying his fondest memory of his pro career was being named man-of-the-match in the 1998 Scottish League Cup Final in which he scored, a 2–1 defeat against Rangers. Saints went on to finish third behind Rangers and Celtic in the Scottish Premier League that season, qualifying for the 1999–2000 UEFA Cup. Dasovic's only league goal was also memorable; it was the only goal in a 1–0 win away at Celtic in September 1998.

International career
Dasovic made his senior debut for Canada in an April 1992 friendly match against China and went on to earn 63 caps, scoring twice. He represented Canada in 14 World Cup qualifiers and played at the 2001 FIFA Confederations Cup.

United States – Russia mutual detargeting

Between 12 and 15 January 1994, President Bill Clinton of the United States and President Boris Yeltsin of the Russian Federation negotiated the Kremlin accords. These accords were an agreement between their respective countries not to target strategic nuclear missiles at each other.

The text of the agreement, which is thirteen paragraphs long, includes a single paragraph on the subject of detargeting. It specifies 30 May 1994 as the deadline for detargeting, and states that "for the first time in nearly half a century – virtually since the dawn of the nuclear age – Russia and United States will not operate nuclear forces, day-to-day, in a manner that presumes they are adversaries."

Detargeted missiles are reprogrammed to either have no target or, in the case of missiles that require a constant target (such as the Minuteman III), are set to open-ocean targets.

In 1997, during a debate over an amendment that would require the president to certify that Russia had detargeted its missiles, Representative Curt Weldon (R-PA) introduced into the Congressional Record a transcript of a 60 Minutes interview with Russian generals which stated that Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles could be retargeted to point to US targets within a matter of minutes. Weldon also pointed out that there is no way to verify that Russia has detargeted its missiles.

James Cowan (Manitoba politician)

James Cowan (September 5, 1914 – January 4, 1997) was a Canadian lawyer and politician who served as a Progressive Conservative member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1958 to 1969.

Early life and education
Cowan was born in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, the son of Thomas Hind Cowan and Robena Isabel Taylor. He was educated at the Manitoba Law School in Winnipeg and was called to the Manitoba bar in 1939.

Career
Cowan worked as a lawyer in Winnipeg until 1984. He served in the Canadian Army during World War II and was later president of the Canadian Legion Memorial Housing Foundation within Manitoba. During this period, he was known as a vigorous proponent of housing for retired veterans.

He first ran for public office in the 1941 provincial election, as a candidate of the Conservative Party of Manitoba in the electoral district of Winnipeg. Winnipeg, at the time, elected ten members by preferential balloting in an at-large poll. Cowan finished last among the Conservative candidates, and was eliminated on the tenth count with only 665 votes.

He ran for the House of Commons of Canada as a Progressive Conservative in the 1953 federal election, but lost to Liberal incumbent William Weir in the riding of Portage—Neepawa. He later moved to Winnipeg, and served as a member of the Winnipeg City Council from 1955 to 1958.

Cowan was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1958 provincial election, winning an easy victory in the riding of Winnipeg Centre. He was returned in the elections of 1959, 1962 and 1966, never encountering any serious challenges. He was never appointed to cabinet, but served as deputy speaker for a time.

The New Democratic Party defeated the Progressive Conservatives in the 1969 provincial election, and NDP candidate Bud Boyce defeated Cowan by almost 1,000 votes in the Winnipeg Centre riding.

Personal life
Cowan was married twice, first to Dorothy Jones in 1945 and then, after they divorced, to Rose Amy Cooper in 1956. Cowan died in Winnipeg and was buried in Portage la Prairie.

Egorov's theorem

In measure theory, an area of mathematics, Egorov's theorem establishes a condition for the uniform convergence of a pointwise convergent sequence of measurable functions. It is also named Severini–Egoroff theorem or Severini–Egorov theorem, after Carlo Severini, an Italian mathematician, and Dmitri Egorov, a Russian physicist and geometer, who published independent proofs respectively in 1910 and 1911.

Egorov's theorem can be used along with compactly supported continuous functions to prove Lusin's theorem for integrable functions.

Historical note
The first proof of the theorem was given by Carlo Severini in 1910: he used the result as a tool in his research on series of orthogonal functions. His work remained apparently unnoticed outside Italy, probably due to the fact that it is written in Italian, appeared in a scientific journal with limited diffusion and was considered only as a means to obtain other theorems. A year later Dmitri Egorov published his independently proved results, and the theorem became widely known under his name: however, it is not uncommon to find references to this theorem as the Severini–Egoroff theorem. The first mathematicians to prove independently the theorem in the nowadays common abstract measure space setting were, and in : an earlier generalization is due to Nikolai Luzin, who succeeded in slightly relaxing the requirement of finiteness of measure of the domain of convergence of the pointwise converging functions in the ample paper. Further generalizations were given much later by Pavel Korovkin, in the paper, and by Gabriel Mokobodzki in the paper.

Statement
Let (fn) be a sequence of M-valued measurable functions, where M is a separable metric space, on some measure space (X,Σ,μ), and suppose there is a measurable subset A ⊆ X, with finite μ-measure, such that (fn) converges μ-almost everywhere on A to a limit function f. The following result holds: for every ε > 0, there exists a measurable subset B of A such that μ(B) < ε, and (fn) converges to f uniformly on A \ B.

Here, μ(B) denotes the μ-measure of B. In words, the theorem says that pointwise convergence almost everywhere on A implies the apparently much stronger uniform convergence everywhere except on some subset B of arbitrarily small measure. This type of convergence is also called almost uniform convergence.

Discussion of assumptions and a counterexample

 * The hypothesis μ(A) < ∞ is necessary. To see this, it is simple to construct a counterexample when μ is the Lebesgue measure: consider the sequence of real-valued indicator functions $$f_n(x) = 1_{[n,n+1]}(x), \qquad n\in\N,\ x\in\R,$$ defined on the real line. This sequence converges pointwise to the zero function everywhere but does not converge uniformly on $$\R\setminus B$$ for any set B of finite measure: a counterexample in the general $n$-dimensional real vector space $$\R^n$$ can be constructed as shown by.
 * The separability of the metric space is needed to make sure that for M-valued, measurable functions f and g, the distance d(f(x), g(x)) is again a measurable real-valued function of x.

Proof
Fix $$\varepsilon > 0$$. For natural numbers n and k, define the set En,k by the union

 * $$ E_{n,k} = \bigcup_{m\ge n} \left\{ x\in A \,\Big|\, |f_m(x) - f(x)| \ge \frac1k \right\}.$$

These sets get smaller as n increases, meaning that En+1,k is always a subset of En,k, because the first union involves fewer sets. A point x, for which the sequence (fm(x)) converges to f(x), cannot be in every En,k for a fixed k, because fm(x) has to stay closer to f(x) than 1/k eventually. Hence by the assumption of μ-almost everywhere pointwise convergence on A,

 * $$\mu\left(\bigcap_{n\in\N}E_{n,k}\right)=0$$

for every k. Since A is of finite measure, we have continuity from above; hence there exists, for each k, some natural number nk such that

 * $$\mu(E_{n_k,k}) < \frac\varepsilon{2^k}.$$

For x in this set we consider the speed of approach into the 1/k-neighbourhood of f(x) as too slow. Define

 * $$B = \bigcup_{k\in\N} E_{n_k,k}$$

as the set of all those points x in A, for which the speed of approach into at least one of these 1/k-neighbourhoods of f(x) is too slow. On the set difference $$ A\setminus B$$ we therefore have uniform convergence. Explicitly, for any $$\epsilon$$, let $$\frac 1 k < \epsilon$$, then for any $$n > n_k$$, we have $$|f_n - f| < \epsilon$$ on all of $$ A\setminus B$$.

Appealing to the sigma additivity of μ and using the geometric series, we get

 * $$\mu(B) \le \sum_{k\in\N} \mu(E_{n_k,k}) < \sum_{k\in\N}\frac\varepsilon{2^k}=\varepsilon.$$

Luzin's version
Nikolai Luzin's generalization of the Severini–Egorov theorem is presented here according to.

Statement
Under the same hypothesis of the abstract Severini–Egorov theorem suppose that A is the union of a sequence of measurable sets of finite μ-measure, and (fn) is a given sequence of M-valued measurable functions on some measure space (X,Σ,μ), such that (fn) converges μ-almost everywhere on A to a limit function f, then A can be expressed as the union of a sequence of measurable sets H, A1, A2,... such that μ(H) = 0 and (fn) converges to f uniformly on each set Ak.

Proof
It is sufficient to consider the case in which the set A is itself of finite μ-measure: using this hypothesis and the standard Severini–Egorov theorem, it is possible to define by mathematical induction a sequence of sets {Ak}undefined such that

 * $$\mu\left (A \setminus \bigcup_{k=1}^{N} A_k \right)\leq\frac{1}{N}$$

and such that (fn) converges to f uniformly on each set Ak for each k. Choosing

 * $$H=A\setminus\bigcup_{k=1}^{\infty} A_k$$

then obviously μ(H) = 0 and the theorem is proved.

Korovkin's version
The proof of the Korovkin version follows closely the version on, which however generalizes it to some extent by considering admissible functionals instead of non-negative measures and inequalities $$\leq$$ and $$\geq$$ respectively in conditions 1 and 2.

Statement
Let (M,d) denote a separable metric space and (X,Σ) a measurable space: consider a measurable set A and a class $$\mathfrak{A}$$ containing A and its measurable subsets such that their countable in unions and intersections belong to the same class. Suppose there exists a non-negative measure μ such that μ(A) exists and If (fn) is a sequence of M-valued measurable functions converging μ-almost everywhere on $$A\in\mathfrak{A}$$ to a limit function f, then there exists a subset A′ of A such that 0 < μ(A) − μ(A′) < ε and where the convergence is also uniform.
 * 1) $$\mu(\cap A_n) = \lim \mu(A_n)$$ if $$A_1 \supset A_2 \supset \cdots$$ with $$A_n\in\mathfrak{A}$$ for all n
 * 2) $$\mu(\cup A_n) = \lim \mu(A_n)$$ if $$A_1 \subset A_2 \subset \cdots$$ with $$\cup A_n\in\mathfrak{A}$$.

Proof
Consider the indexed family of sets whose index set is the set of natural numbers $$m\in\N,$$ defined as follows:

 * $$A_{0,m}=\left\{x\in A|d(f_n(x),f(x)) \le 1\ \forall n\geq m\right\}$$

Obviously

 * $$A_{0,1}\subseteq A_{0,2}\subseteq A_{0,3}\subseteq\dots$$

and

 * $$A=\bigcup_{m\in\N}A_{0,m}$$

therefore there is a natural number m0 such that putting A0,m 0 =A0 the following relation holds true:

 * $$0\leq\mu(A)-\mu(A_0)\leq\varepsilon$$

Using A0 it is possible to define the following indexed family

 * $$A_{1,m}=\left\{x\in A_0\left| d(f_m(x),f(x)) \le \frac12 \ \forall n\geq m\right.\right\}$$

satisfying the following two relationships, analogous to the previously found ones, i.e.

 * $$A_{1,1}\subseteq A_{1,2}\subseteq A_{1,3}\subseteq\dots$$

and

 * $$A_0=\bigcup_{m\in\N}A_{1,m}$$

This fact enable us to define the set A1,m 1 =A1, where m1 is a surely existing natural number such that

 * $$0\leq\mu(A)-\mu(A_1)\leq\varepsilon$$

By iterating the shown construction, another indexed family of set {An} is defined such that it has the following properties:

 * $$A_0\supseteq A_1\supseteq A_2\supseteq\cdots$$
 * $$0\leq\mu(A)-\mu(A_m)\leq\varepsilon$$ for all $$m\in\N$$
 * for each $$m\in\N$$ there exists km such that for all $$n \geq k_m$$ then $$d(f_n(x),f(x)) \le 2^{-m}$$ for all $$x \in A_m$$

and finally putting

 * $$A'=\bigcup_{n\in\N}A_n$$

the thesis is easily proved.

Murder of Suzanne Jovin

Suzanne Nahuela Jovin (January 26, 1977 – December 4, 1998) was a German senior at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, when she was brutally stabbed to death off campus. The city of New Haven and Yale University have offered a combined $150,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of Jovin's killer. The crime remains unsolved. At Yale, Jovin volunteered as a tutor through the Yale Tutoring in Elementary Schools program, sang in both the Freshman Chorus and the Bach Society Orchestra, co-founded the German Club, and worked for three years in the Davenport dining hall.

Murder
After dropping off the penultimate draft of her senior essay on the Islamic militant leader Osama bin Laden, at approximately 4:15 pm on Friday December 4, 1998, Suzanne Jovin began preparations for a pizza-making party she had organized at the Trinity Lutheran Church on 292 Orange Street for the local chapter of Best Buddies, an international organization that brings together students and mentally disabled adults. By 8:30 pm, after staying late to help clean up, she was driving another volunteer home in a borrowed university station wagon. Around 8:45, she returned the car to the Yale-owned lot on the corner of Edgewood Avenue and Howe Street, and proceeded to walk two blocks to her second-floor apartment at 258 Park Street, upstairs from a Yale police substation.

Sometime prior to 8:50 pm, a few friends passed by Jovin's window and asked her if she wanted to join them at the movies. Jovin declined, stating that she planned to do school work that night. At 9:02, Jovin logged onto her Yale e-mail account and told a female friend in German she was going to leave some GRE books for her in Jovin's apartment building's lobby, once she had retrieved them from an unnamed person who had borrowed them from her. She also provided the access code for her door. This unnamed person has never been identified. Whether Jovin met this unnamed person that night remains unknown. At 9:10, she logged off. If she made or received any calls is unknown; calls within Yale's telephone system were not traceable. She wore the same soft, low-cut hiking boots, jeans, and maroon fleece pullover she had worn at the pizza party.

Very shortly thereafter, Jovin headed out on foot to the Yale police communications center under the arch at Phelps Gate on Yale's Old Campus to return the keys to the car she had borrowed. Shortly before reaching her destination, around 9:22, Jovin encountered classmate Peter Stein, who was out for a walk. Stein is quoted by the Yale Daily News as saying, "She did not mention plans to go anywhere or do anything else afterward. She just said that she was very, very tired and that she was looking forward to getting a lot of sleep." Stein also said Jovin was not wearing a backpack, was holding one or more sheets of white 8 ½ x 11 inch paper in her right hand, that she was walking at a "normal" pace and did not look nervous or excited, and that their encounter lasted only two to three minutes.

Based on the timeline, Jovin is presumed to have returned the keys to the borrowed car at about 9:25. She was reportedly last seen alive at between 9:25–9:30 by another Yale student, on foot returning from a Yale hockey game, "walking north on College Street". However, it was later clarified, "It is unclear... whether Jovin was walking somewhere, waiting for someone or pausing to admire the holiday lights along the New Haven Green."

At 9:55 pm, a passerby dialed 911 to report a woman bleeding at the corner of Edgehill Road and East Rock Road, 1.9 miles from the Yale campus, where Jovin was last seen alive. When police arrived at 9:58, they found Jovin fatally stabbed 17 times in the back of her head and neck and her throat slit. She was lying on her stomach, feet in the road, body on the grassy area between the road and the sidewalk. She was fully clothed and still wearing her watch and earrings, with a crumpled dollar bill in her pocket. Her wallet was later found to be still in her room. Suzanne Jovin was officially pronounced dead at 10:26 pm at Yale New Haven Hospital.

Evidence
Many items and observations have been reported by the police and media as possible evidence over the thirteen plus years of the investigation, much of which has either been discredited, deemed hearsay or unreliable, or been explained. The most notable physical evidence appears to be: 1) DNA found in scrapings taken from under the fingernails of Jovin's left hand, 2) Jovin's fingerprints and an unknown person's partial palmprint found on a Fresca bottle in the bushes in front of where her body was found, and 3) the tip of the knife used in the attack that was lodged in her skull.

The most notable observations appear to be 1) "a tan or brown van stopped in the roadway facing east, immediately adjacent to where Suzanne was found.", 2) "a man in his 20s or 30s with an athletic build, well-groomed hair, dark pants, a loose-fitting greenish jacket, running like his life depended on it in the opposite direction from where Suzanne Jovin was killed", and 3) "A mysterious, nondescript 'someone,' whom Jovin mentioned in an e-mail she sent less than an hour before she was found stabbed" to whom she had lent a friend's GRE test study materials.

The only speculation about the murder weapon came on the March 1, 2000 broadcast of ABC's 20/20. According to host John Miller's voiceover: "The medical examiner would later identify only one of the 17 stab wounds as fatal. He would also determine that the murder weapon was a four to five inch nonserrated, carbon steel knife, when he discovered the tip of the blade lodged in the left side of her skull." The New Haven police have never revealed whether any tests have ever been done to determine a precise make and model of the knife.

Though there have been no reports of anyone witnessing Jovin enter or exit any vehicle, it is generally assumed that Jovin had either forcibly or voluntarily entered one, as it was virtually impossible for her to have reached the intersection of Edgehill and East Rock Roads by foot in the short span of time that elapsed between when she was last seen alive and when she was found bleeding by witnesses nearly two miles away. The existence of the tan/brown van was not made public by the New Haven Police Department (NHPD) until March 27, 2001. Although members of the Yale faculty had reported the police were asking privately about the van at the inception of the investigation, no explanation has ever been given why it took more than two years to release the information to the public. And although the New Haven Register reported on November 8, 2001, that the NHPD had impounded a brown van as part of the Jovin investigation, no link has ever been confirmed.

The existence of the Fresca bottle came to light on April 1, 2001, by Hartford Courant reporter Les Gura. The only store in the vicinity of campus that sold Fresca that was still open at the hour Jovin was last seen alive was Krauszer's Market on York Street near Elm Street – precisely one block south of Jovin's apartment. Although Krauszer's maintained a video recording of its customers for security purposes, the police never asked to view their tape and have never reported seeking assistance from store employees or customers about whether they had seen anything unusual that night. The foreign palmprint has yet to be identified and public calls for DNA evidence to be extracted from it and other potential sources have gone unheeded.

The first mention of the existence of the fingernail DNA was on October 26, 2001, following a solicitation by the New Haven police for colleagues, friends and acquaintances of Jovin to come forward and give DNA samples voluntarily. No explanation has ever been given as to why it took nearly three years for the fingernail scrapings to be tested for DNA. On September 14, 2009, Jovin's parents wrote to Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell that "potential forensic investigations, made possible by significant advances in technology in the intervening decade, are not being carried out due to shortcomings in the Connecticut Forensic Science Laboratory." Rell's office admitted that the lab also had a backlog of 12,000 DNA samples that needed to be tested. The DNA results from material collected under a fingernail of Jovin's left hand remained unmatched until November 2009. It was determined at that time that the DNA matched that of a trace evidence technician in the Connecticut State Police Forensics Laboratory, and was the result of accidental evidence contamination at the lab.

At the end of June 2008, the Jovin Task Force revealed that only days after the crime: "A female motorist told police at the time that she was driving in the area of Whitney Avenue and Huntington Street at about 10 p.m. when she saw a white male sprint past her and disappear into the church property." As for why this testimony was withheld from the public for nearly a decade: "Sources said the police at the time showed her a photo of Yale Professor James Van de Velde — Jovin's thesis adviser, whom police had publicly identified as a suspect — to determine if he was the man she saw. They also took her in an unmarked van to Van de Velde's office so she could look at him in person. She told them Van de Velde was not the man she saw running, and investigators didn't contact her again, sources said." Subsequently, the Jovin Task Force began hanging a sketch of this person around the neighborhood in which he was spotted.

On July 16, 2008, the Jovin Task Force provided further details of Jovin's final email, written in German to a female friend, about GRE test study materials Jovin would leave for her to pick up. "Jovin wrote that she would retrieve the books and leave them in the foyer of her apartment for the classmate to pick up, giving her classmate the code to her apartment in case Jovin was not in the building." The materials were never returned, nor has anyone ever come forward as the borrower, leading many to speculate the borrower may have possibly been involved in her killing. Furthermore, Jovin's specific use of the word "someone" when referring to the borrower implies to many she did not know this borrower very well.

Investigation
Four days after the murder, the name of Jovin's thesis advisor, James Van de Velde, was leaked to the New Haven Register as the prime suspect in the case. Fifteen months later, criminologist John Pleckaitis, then a sergeant at the New Haven Police Department, admitted to Hartford Courant reporter Les Gura: "From a physical evidence point of view, we had nothing to tie him to the case ... I had nothing to link him to the crime." Famed criminologist Henry Lee's offer to reconstruct the crime scene was accepted by the police but not carried out.

Based on subsequent questioning of the Yale community, and on Van de Velde's name being released prior to the completion of his police interrogation, it became apparent the NHPD had for undisclosed reasons become convinced that Van de Velde and Jovin must have been having an illicit or unrequited affair – a notion that friends of Jovin, including her boyfriend, considered wholly unlikely. Nevertheless, though not revealing any physical evidence or a motive, the NHPD continued to maintain that their naming of Van de Velde was not presumptuous. Yale, under the guidance of Dean Richard H. Brodhead, then chose to cancel Van de Velde's spring 1999 classes citing his presence as a "major distraction" for students, damaging his reputation and academic career.

In 2000, Van de Velde and colleagues strongly and eventually publicly encouraged Yale to hire their own private investigators to study the case. In December, 2000, under additional pressure from the Jovin family, Yale relented and hired the team of Andrew Rosenzweig, former chief investigator with the New York district attorney's office, and Patrick Harnett, a former commanding officer of the New York Police Department's major crime squad. It was at their insistence that the NHPD allowed the state forensics lab to analyze Jovin's fingernail scrapings for DNA. Neither the resulting DNA nor the Fresca bottle fingerprint were a match to Van de Velde, prompting Harnett to label Van de Velde "Richard Jewell with a Ph.D.," a reference to an innocent man whose life was ruined by police publicity in 1996. Yale has not made its investigation public, nor explained its secrecy.

The NHPD responded by contacting the US Navy, Van de Velde's primary employer at the time, urging them to reconsider their contract work with him—going so far as to travel to Washington, DC to meet with Navy officials. A thorough review was conducted that resulted in Van de Velde being allowed to keep his job and his security clearance. Sensing the investigation had dead-ended on him, Van de Velde undertook a letter writing campaign urging the Connecticut state cold case unit to take over the case. When the Chief State's Attorney refused, Van de Velde began pressing the police to undertake additional state-of-the-art forensic tests on the evidence.

On September 1, 2006, nearly eight years after the murder, the Jovin investigation was officially classified a cold case and moved to Connecticut's Cold Case Unit. However, the case was never added to the Cold Case Unit web site nor was there any mention of the reward being offered—prompting Van de Velde once again to write letters of complaint. On November 29, 2007, Assistant State's Attorney James Clark admitted that the case had been secretly reassigned back to New Haven in June of that year, this time under the auspices of a handpicked team of four retired detectives. According to Clark: "no person is a suspect in the crime, and everyone is a suspect in the crime." Once again the case is said to be in the hands of Connecticut's Cold Case Unit, though once again there is no mention of it on their web site.

On December 8, 2012, a group of area residents presented the Jovin Task Force with potential evidence that Jovin's killer might have been a former Yale graduate student who, after telling friends he was convinced he would be imminently arrested for the murder, committed suicide. The Task Force declined to pursue the lead. These residents then filed a Freedom of Information request against New Haven and Yale; the scheduled May 31, 2013 hearing was then postponed at the request of the city.

In November 2016, two members of a television documentary team also petitioned the Connecticut Freedom of Information Commission for access to related law enforcement records. The matter was heard on April 17, 2017, and a decision rendered on September 1, 2017, denying the request. The Commission cited testimony of Assistant State's Attorney Marcia Pillsbury that "disclosure of the records would prejudice a prospective prosecution of Jovin's killer", finding that "a prospective law enforcement action is a reasonable possibility". In reporting on the decision, the Hartford Courant further elaborated that Jovin's clothing would undergo touch DNA testing, the FBI was re-involved, both new and prior witnesses were being interviewed, and a hypnotist was being hired to "interview a key witness who may have seen Jovin walking only minutes before she was murdered".

On December 2, 2018, just prior to the 20th anniversary of the murder, Yale's former head investigator, Andy Rosenzweig, finally broke his silence on the botched police investigation: “When people are fed a steady stream of reports that the police already know who committed the crime and will be making an arrest soon, they tend to think of their information as unimportant and probably wrong. Sadly, we’ll never know how many such sources in the Jovin case never came forward.” On December 27, 2019, in an attempt to force the State of Connecticut to finally make good on their decades old promise to DNA test the evidence using modern technology, and to shed more light on the "running man" person of interest, aka "Billy", blogger Jeffrey Mitchell released The Green Jacket Killer, a documentary on the crime.

Aftermath
On January 12, 2001, Van de Velde sued Quinnipiac University for wrongfully dismissing him from a graduate program he was enrolled in there. Van de Velde agreed to drop the lawsuit on January 26, 2004, in exchange for $80,000.

On December 7, 2001, Van de Velde sued the NHPD in federal court in Connecticut claiming they violated his civil rights by naming only him publicly as a suspect while claiming that other suspects existed as well. Van de Velde added Yale as a defendant on April 15, 2003. U.S. District Judge Robert N. Chatigny dismissed the federal claims with prejudice and the state law claims without prejudice on March 15, 2004. Van de Velde asked Chatigny to reconsider in May 2006, resulting in the judge reinstating both the state and federal claims on December 11, 2007. On June 3, 2013, New Haven and Yale agreed to a monetary settlement with Van de Velde. State's Attorney Michael Dearington admitted publicly for the first time that Van de Velde is no longer a suspect in the murder.

A true crime series about the crime, Edgehill, was in development at the cable channel Esquire Network in 2017, but never commenced any planning or filming as the network shut down several months later.

TECO Energy

TECO Energy Inc. is an energy-related holding company based in Tampa, Florida, and a subsidiary of Emera Incorporated. TECO Energy has several subsidiaries: Tampa Electric, which provides electricity to the Tampa Bay Area and parts of Central Florida; Peoples Gas Company, which provides natural gas throughout Florida; and TECO Services, which provides IT, HR, legal, facilities, and other services to current and former TECO subsidiaries. Previously the company was in the S&P 500 before it became private due its acquisition by Emera.

Tampa Electric is one of Florida’s largest investor-owned electric utilities. It serves more than 830,000 customers in West Central Florida.

Peoples Gas System Inc. is Florida’s largest natural gas distribution utility, serving nearly 470,000 homes and businesses across the state.

History
In 1899, Colonel Peter O. Knight created Tampa Electric Company to serve the energy needs of a growing Tampa community.

In 1903, a steam generating plant, renamed the Peter O. Knight Station in 1969, was built on Jackson Street, and by 1906, the first turbo-generator was installed. At the dawn of the 20th Century, Tampa Electric Company promoted such conveniences as electric lights and fans, and over more than 20 miles of track connecting Tampa, Ybor City and Ballast Point.

Modern downtown offices were opened in 1914 at the corner of Cass and Tampa Street. At the end of the century, Tampa Electric and parent company, TECO Energy, employed more than 5,000 men and women in six states and South America.

On September 4, 2015, Emera, a utility holding company based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, announced the pending acquisition of TECO Energy. That purchase closed on July 1, 2016, and TECO Energy, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Emera, Inc.

Environmental record
In late 2021, Tampa Electric announced its vision for its power plants to achieve a net zero carbon emission future by 2050.

As part of its initiative, Tampa Electric will increase the use of zero/low-carbon technologies, which will improve renewable energy capabilities. Tampa Electric plans to invest in emerging technologies, such as carbon capture, biofuels, hydrogen, wind turbines and battery storage. The utility will pilot new concepts, such as delivering renewable energy at the community level and will continue its partnership with the University of South Florida to develop innovative ideas and technologies to aid its pursuit of a net zero future.

In addition to pursuing emerging technologies and concepts, Tampa Electric will continue working to improve existing power stations through improved technology and move away from coal usage. For example, Big Bend’s Unit 1 will become a combined-cycle natural gas unit. The modernization of power plants improves the generation efficiency of fuel, lowering both emissions and fuel costs for customers.

Tampa Electric invested $5 million in 2022 to the University of South Florida's College of Engineering's Clean Energy Research Center in an effort to meet its target of having net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2006 identified TECO Energy as the 37th-largest corporate producer of air pollution in the United States in 2002, with roughly 11 million pounds of toxic chemicals released annually into the air. Major pollutants indicated by the study included hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, chromium compounds, arsenic compounds, and nickel compounds.

In 2000, TECO Energy was fined $3.5 million for making changes to emissions producing facilities without installing new updated pollution controls. This led to the switch from coal to natural gas in one of its plants by 2004 and optimization of pollution controls in another. These changes were enacted to drastically cut emissions, notably sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions.

On July 6, 2019, People's Gas, a division of Tampa Electric Company, was accused of causing an explosion at a shopping center in Plantation, Florida, known as the Market on University. The allegations by plaintiff’s attorneys claim People's Gas failed to close and lock a gas line after a customer request dating back to December 2018. The failure to close and lock the gas line is a violation of Federal law and Florida law. Peoples/TECO claims that a computer program cancelled the shutoff order unbeknownst to the utility. The computer error caused hundreds of gas line shutoff orders to be cancelled system wide. TECO/Peoples also blame the owner of the shopping center for not capping the gas line when the tenant removed a gas pizza oven. Over 60 lawsuits were filed in response to the explosion many of which remain pending.

In 2017, TECO had an explosion at its Big Bend power plant near Tampa, Florida killing five workers who were performing a dangerous procedure water jetting molten slag in a coal fired furnace. The workers were killed because an explosion occurred. TECO experienced the same type of accident 10 years prior and developed a policy to prevent future accidents but allegedly failed to train workers on the safety policy. In May 2022, TECO pleaded guilty to violating an OSHA safety regulation requiring a meeting to ensure workers are properly trained that would have prevented the deaths of the 5 workers. In August 2022 TECO was sentenced to a $500,000 fine and 3 years of probation. TECO admitted that it willfully violated an OSHA safety regulation as part of its guilty plea.

Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest

Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest (ドラゴンボールZ　この世で一番強いヤツ) is a 1990 Japanese animated science fiction martial arts film and the second feature film in the Dragon Ball Z franchise. It was originally released in Japan on March 10 between episodes 39 and 40 of DBZ, at the "Toei Manga Matsuri" film festival along with the second Akuma-kun film (Welcome to Devil Land) and the 1990 film version of Sally the Witch. It was preceded by Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone and followed by Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might.

Plot
Gohan and Oolong search for the magical Dragon Balls and their radar shows them that the orbs are being gathered by another, unknown party. They investigate near a large wall of ice where Piccolo is training. Meanwhile, the mad scientist Dr. Kochin, having successfully gathered all of the Dragon Balls, summons the eternal dragon Shenron and wishes for Dr. Wheelo and his lab to be released from the ice. The ice breaks away as a building emerges and Gohan and Oolong are attacked by Dr. Kochin's "bio-men". Piccolo saves them but is overcome by three mysterious warriors while Gohan and Oolong escape.

Dr. Kochin and his bio-men soon present themselves to Master Roshi who refuses to accompany them to Wheelo's lab and defeats the bio-men. Dr. Kochin kidnaps Bulma to force Master Roshi to pursue them. At Wheelo's lab, Master Roshi is forced to fight three "bio-warriors" but is swiftly defeated. Bulma discovers that Dr. Wheelo's mission is to obtain the body of the strongest warrior on Earth to become the host for his brain, which is currently separated from his deceased body and kept alive by his advanced technology. Bulma informs him that Goku will undoubtedly be coming to rescue them and that he is much more powerful than Roshi. Meanwhile, Goku learns of situation and he arrives at Dr. Wheelo's lab and is confronted by Mikokatsun, Kishime, and Ebifurya – Dr. Kochin's three bio-warrior henchmen. Goku defeats Mikokatsun but is frozen by an ice-like attack launched by Ebifurya. Gohan and Krillin arrive to help but are no match for Kishime. Goku breaks free from ice with his Kaio-ken technique, defeats the two remaining bio-warriors, and confronts Dr. Wheelo. Piccolo, who has been brainwashed by Dr. Wheelo, attacks Goku. Gohan tries to stop Piccolo but fails, causing his anger to explode, shattering Dr. Wheelo's brainwashing device. Dr. Wheelo is stunned by Gohan's power and desires to steal his body instead. He breaks his robot body free from the ice wall, subsequently knocking Dr. Kochin down a shaft which kills him.

Dr. Wheelo attacks, overwhelms the fighters, and only Goku and Piccolo are left to oppose him. Goku knocks Dr. Wheelo into the atmosphere and begins to form a Spirit Bomb attack. Wheelo interrupts him before he can finish gathering the energy for it requiring Goku's allies to distract Wheelo. Goku's successfully launches the bomb and Wheelo is killed.

Releases
It was released on VHS and DVD in North America on May 26, 1998, with an English dub, produced by Pioneer Entertainment in association with Funimation. Pioneer's dub used the original Ocean Productions voice cast of the TV series. Since then, Funimation was released the Ocean dub of the film on the Rock the Dragon Edition DVD set on August 13, 2013, it has 53 edited episodes of the TV series, plus two edited films of Dead Zone and The Tree of Might as they aired on Toonami.

Once their sub-license expired, Funimation also released the film to DVD in "Ultimate Uncut Edition" on November 14, 2006 as part of a film set subtitled "First Strike", also containing Dead Zone (1989) and The Tree of Might (1990), with completely new dub done by Funimation's voice cast. It was later released in Double Feature set along with Dead Zone (1989) for Blu-ray and DVD on May 27, 2008, both feature full 1080p format in HD remastered 16:9 aspect ratio and an enhanced 5.1 surround mix. The film was re-released to DVD in remastered thinpak collection on November 1, 2011, containing the first 5 Dragon Ball Z films.

Other companies
Outside of the United States, there have been two other English dubs of this film: one in Malaysia and one by AB Groupe in France. The Malaysian English dub was released to VCD in Malaysia, while AB Groupe's English dub aired on TV in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Ireland, as well as seeing a home release to VHS and DVD in some of the formerly mentioned countries. Both dubs use Toei's official English title rather than Funimation's title, and until recently, the voice cast of the AB Groupe dub version was unknown, but then it has been determined that they used voice actors who were involved in French TV shows like Code Lyoko, while the Malaysian dub's cast remains unknown.

User talk:Hyrarchy

Greetings! I noticed you've been doing a lot of work on Hyrarchy; I'm going to guess from your username that it's your band. Wikipedia is not a promo site or a general knowledge base for every band in the world: bands must be notable to merit an entry in Wikipedia, and these are the usual guidelines for determining whether an article on a musician or group should be kept. Why don't you stick this article on your user page instead? It will still be indexed by Google there. Let me know if you do this and I can remove it from the main article space. If you disagree and think it should be kept, I will list it on the votes for deletion page where the community can debate about whether it should be kept. I notice that the article itself is decent otherwise—why don't you expand some of the articles on your influences and favorite bands? A lot of the music articles could use some expansion. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 04:07, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I got no response from you, and it still doesn't appear to meet the guidelines, so I have listed it here. You can state why you wish it to be kept on that page, if you like. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 15:25, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
