Moseley's law

Moseley's law is an empirical law concerning the characteristic X-rays emitted by atoms. The law had been discovered and published by the English physicist Henry Moseley in 1913–1914. Until Moseley's work, "atomic number" was merely an element's place in the periodic table and was not known to be associated with any measurable physical quantity. In brief, the law states that the square root of the frequency of the emitted X-ray is approximately proportional to the atomic number: $$\sqrt \nu \varpropto Z .$$

History

The historic periodic table was roughly ordered by increasing atomic weight, but in a few famous cases the physical properties of two elements suggested that the heavier ought to precede the lighter. An example is cobalt having the atomic weight of 58.9 and nickel having the atomic weight of 58.7.

Henry Moseley and other physicists used X-ray diffraction to study the elements, and the results of their experiments led to organizing the periodic table by proton count.

Apparatus
Since the spectral emissions for the lighter elements would be in the soft X-ray range (absorbed by air), the spectrometry apparatus had to be enclosed inside a vacuum. Details of the experimental setup are documented in the journal articles "The High-Frequency Spectra of the Elements" Part I and Part II.

Results
Moseley found that the $$K\alpha$$ lines (in Siegbahn notation) were indeed related to the atomic number, Z.

Following Bohr's lead, Moseley found that for the spectral lines, this relationship could be approximated by a simple formula, later called Moseley's Law. $$ \nu = A \cdot \left(Z - b\right)^2 $$ where:
 * $$ \nu $$ is the frequency of the observed X-ray emission line
 * $$ A $$ and $$ b $$ are constants that depend on the type of line (that is, K, L, etc. in X-ray notation)
 * $$ A = \left( \frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{2^2} \right) \cdot $$ Rydberg frequency and  $$ b \ $$= 1 for $$K\alpha$$ lines, and $$A = \left( \frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{3^2} \right) \cdot$$ Rydberg frequency and $$ b = 7.4$$ for $$L\alpha$$ lines.

Derivation
Moseley derived his formula empirically by fitting the square root of the X-ray frequency plotted against the atomic number. This formula can be explained based on the Bohr model of the atom, namely, $$E = h\nu = E_\text{i}-E_\text{f}=\frac{m_\text{e} q_\text{e}^2 q_Z^2}{8 h^2 \varepsilon_{0}^2} \left( \frac{1}{n_\text{f}^2} - \frac{1}{n_\text{i}^2} \right) ,$$ where
 * $$\varepsilon_{0}$$ is the permittivity of free space
 * $$m_\text{e}$$ is the mass of an electron
 * $$q_\text{e}$$ is the charge of an electron
 * $$q_Z$$ is an effective charge of the nucleus, expressed as $$(Z-b)q_e$$
 * $$n_\text{f}$$ is the quantum number of final energy level
 * $$n_\text{i}$$ is the quantum number of initial energy level ($$n_\text{i} > n_\text{f}$$)
 * $$h$$ is the Planck constant

Taking into account the empirically found b constant that reduced (or "screened") the nucleus charge, Bohr's formula for $$K\alpha$$ transitions becomes $$E= h\nu = E_\text{i}-E_\text{f}=\frac{m_\text{e} q_\text{e}^4}{8 h^2 \varepsilon_{0}^2} \left( \frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{2^2} \right)(Z-1)^2 \approx \frac{3}{4}(Z-1)^2 \times 13.6\ \mathrm{eV} .$$ Dividing both sides by h to convert to the frequency units, one obtains $$\nu =\frac{E}{h} = \frac{m_\text{e} q_\text{e}^4}{8 h^3 \varepsilon_{0}^2} \frac{3}{4}(Z-1)^2 \approx (Z-1)^2 \times (2.47 \cdot 10^{15} \ \mathrm{Hz}).$$

Screening
A simplified explanation for the effective charge of a nucleus being one less than its actual charge is that an unpaired electron in the K-shell screens it. An elaborate discussion criticizing Moseley's interpretation of screening can be found in a paper by Whitaker which is repeated in most modern texts.

A list of experimentally found and theoretically calculated X-ray transition energies is available at NIST. Nowadays, theoretical energies are computed with a much greater accuracy than what Moseley's law provides, using modern computational models such as the Dirac–Fock method (the Hartree–Fock method with the relativistic effects accounted for).

The Anarchist (newspaper)

The Anarchist was a monthly newspaper produced in London, England, between 1885 and 1888. Henry Albert Seymour, a leading individualist anarchist, was the editor throughout its production. The Anarchist is notable for being the first English-language Anarchist periodical in Britain. The paper was printed in London, although the initial idea and planning took place in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Seymour lived in Tunbridge Wells until early 1885, and there is correspondence between George Bernard Shaw and Seymour discussing the first edition which shows that Seymour was still living in Tunbridge Wells when the first issue was being prepared.

Patti Austin

Patti Austin (born August 10, 1950) is an American Grammy Award-winning R&B, pop, and jazz singer and songwriter best known for "Baby, Come to Me", her 1982 duet with James Ingram, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 after its re-release that same year.

Music career
Austin was born in Harlem, New York, to Gordon Austin, a jazz trombonist. She was raised in Bay Shore, New York on Long Island. Quincy Jones and Dinah Washington referred to themselves as her godparents.

When Austin was four years old, she performed at the Apollo Theater. As a teenager she recorded commercial jingles and worked as a session singer in soul and R&B. She had an R&B hit in 1969 with "Family Tree". She sang backing vocals on Paul Simon's 1975 number-one hit "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover". The jazz label CTI released her debut album, End of a Rainbow, in 1976. She sang backing vocals on the track "Everybody has a Dream" for Billy Joel's hit album The Stranger (album) in 1977. She sang "The Closer I Get to You" for Tom Browne's album Browne Sugar, a duet with Michael Jackson for his album Off the Wall, and a duet with George Benson on "Moody's Mood for Love".

After singing on Quincy Jones's album The Dude, she signed a contract with his record label, Qwest, which released Every Home Should Have One with "Baby, Come to Me", a duet with James Ingram that became a No. 1 hit on the Billboard magazine pop chart. A second duet with Ingram, "How Do You Keep the Music Playing", appeared on soundtrack to the film Best Friends (1982). Her final album for Qwest, The Real Me contained versions of jazz standards. Austin moved on to

GRP for four releases, including Love Is Gonna Getcha, which contained the singles "Good in Love" and "Through the Test of Time". Austin was booked for United Flight 93 on September 11, 2001, but because her mother suffered a stroke days before, she cancelled her ticket and flew at a different time.

In 2003, she collaborated with Frances Yip on Papillon III in the rotunda of San Francisco City Hall to help the Jade Ribbon Campaign of Stanford University. A companion CD/DVD was released with Austin and Yip singing duets in Mandarin.

A performance in 2000 with the Germany-based WDR Big Band led to later recordings with the Germany-based ensemble that yielded two of Austin's six Grammy nominations: For Ella (2002) was a tribute to Ella Fitzgerald. A 2007 release with the band and arranger Michael Abene, Avant Gershwin, earned her the trophy for Best Jazz Vocal Performance.

During a 2007 interview, Austin spoke of reluctantly attending as a teenager one of Judy Garland's last concerts and how the experience helped focus her career. "She ripped my heart out. I wanted to interpret a lyric like that, to present who I was at the moment through the lyric."

In 2011, Sound Advice was released containing cover versions of Bob Dylan's "Gotta Serve Somebody", Brenda Russell's "A Little Bit of Love", the Jackson Five's "Give It Up", Bill Withers' "Lean on Me", and Don McLean's "Vincent". The album also included "The Grace of God", a song Austin wrote after watching an episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show which included a woman with scarred face. Austin appeared in the Oscar-winning documentary film 20 Feet from Stardom, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was released on June 21, 2013.

In 2015, Austin appeared on Patrick Williams' Home Suite Home large jazz ensemble album, as vocalist for Williams' composition "52nd & Broadway," which won a Grammy for Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals.

Awards and honors

 * Grammy Award, Best Jazz Vocal Album, Avant Gershwin, 2008
 * Honorary doctorate, Berklee College of Music

The Economist Group

The Economist Newspaper Limited (commonly The Economist Group) is a media company headquartered in London, England. It is best known as publisher of The Economist newspaper and its sister lifestyle magazine, 1843. The Economist Group specialises in international business and world affairs information. Its principal activities are in print and digital media as well as in conferences and market intelligence.

Ownership
After the death of its founder James Wilson in 1860, The Economist was held in testamentary trust for his six daughters and their dependents. The eldest, Mrs Bagehot, whose husband Walter was editor at the time of Wilson's death, maintained a close personal interest in the paper until her death in 1921. Subsequently, the Wilson trustees were concerned whether surviving beneficiaries would keep touch with the paper's direction, as further deaths formed subsidiary trusts over time. So in 1928 the Wilson Trust decided to sell the paper, whilst creating a structure intended to maintain its reputation for 'independent judgment and unfettered criticism'. A non-controlling 50% went to the Financial Times, and the other half to an influential group of individual shareholders. A new board of independent trustees was created, with rights both to veto the transfer of voting shares and to choose or remove editors-in-chief, who in turn would have sole responsibility for the paper's policy.

Ownership of the 50% shareholding passed to Pearson plc when they bought The Financial Times Limited (FT) in 1957. Later, however, when Pearson plc was negotiating the sale of FT, The Economist's independent trustees vetoed 'complicated attempts at a deal'. Finally, in August 2015, as part of their sale of the FT to Nikkei, Inc., Pearson sold their share in The Economist.

The Agnelli family's Exor paid £287 million to raise their stake from 4.7% to 43.4%, while The Economist paid £182 million for the balance of 5.04 million shares which will be distributed to current shareholders. Aside from the Agnelli family, smaller shareholders in the company include Cadbury, Rothschild (21%), Schroder, Layton and other family interests as well as a number of staff and former staff shareholders.

History
The origins of The Economist Group date back to the foundation of The Economist: A Political, Commercial, Agricultural, & Free-Trade Journal by James Wilson in 1843.

In 1946, the Economist Intelligence Unit began providing business intelligence to both The Economist newspaper and external clients. In the same year, the Economist bookshop was established as a 50:50 joint venture with the London School of Economics.

Economist Conferences was established as a division of Economist Intelligence Unit in 1956 to offer government roundtables.

In 1995, The Economist Group acquired the Journal of Commerce, a US-based provider of information for the shipping and transportation industries. In the same year the Group launched European Voice, the first pan-European Union weekly newspaper.

In July 2004, The Economist Group launched an upmarket lifestyle magazine called Intelligent Life, an annual publication. This magazine was redesigned as a quarterly in September 2007, and became a bi-monthly publication in August 2011. In March 2016, the magazine was renamed 1843.

Launched in 2010, the Ideas People Channel is a vertical online advertising network of around 50 sites defined by the mindset of the audience. The sites recruited for the network were identified by the readers of The Economist as their favourite online destinations for topics on business, globalisation, innovation and culture. The channel competes in the lower-cost, high-volume network advertising market, a category not previously served by The Economist online. Also recently launched is Economist Education, providing e-learning courses.

In March 2012, The Economist Group acquired the London-based marketing communications agency TVC Group for an undisclosed sum.

In April 2012, the Economist Intelligence Unit expanded in Asia with the acquisition of Clearstate, a market intelligence firm specialising in customised strategic advisory and primary research in the healthcare and life sciences domains.

In July 2015, Canback & Company, a strategy consulting firm operating in more than 70 countries was acquired. It is now known as EIU Canback.

Operations
The Economist Group is headquartered in London, England, and has offices worldwide, including in Brussels, Belgium, Frankfurt, Germany, Geneva, Switzerland, Paris, France, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Johannesburg, South Africa, Hong Kong, mainland China, Singapore, Tokyo, Japan, India, New York City and Washington, D.C. in the United States.

The Economist Group's principal activities are newspapers, magazines, conferences and market intelligence. Publications and services delivered under The Economist brand include The Economist newspaper, The Economist online, Economist Intelligence Unit, Economist Conferences, Economist Corporate Network, The World In series and a bi-monthly lifestyle magazine, 1843. The group's other brands include CQ Roll Call (aimed at decision-makers on Capitol Hill), EuroFinance, a cash and treasury management event business, and a digital media agency, TVC. European Voice (Brussels), formerly a sister publication of CQ Roll Call, was sold to the French company Selectcom in 2013.

Economist Intelligence Corporate Network
The Economist Intelligence Corporate Network is a members-only service within The Economist Group providing global and regional business intelligence briefings, presentations and advice to its subscribers. The Corporate Network relies on the "information, insight, and interaction" provided by regional experts in its parent organization. 81% of its customers are business executives at the director or senior management levels. It has offices in Dubai, Johannesburg, Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore and Tokyo.

Governance
The current members of the board of directors of The Economist Group are: Rupert Pennant-Rea (Chairman), Zanny Minton Beddoes (editor-in-chief of The Economist), Lady Suzanne Heywood, Brent Hoberman, David Bell, John Elkann, Alex Karp, Sir Simon Robertson, Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, Chris Stibbs and Baroness Jowell, Mustafa Suleyman.

Yates High School

Jack Yates Senior High School is a public high school located at 3650 Alabama Street, very near Texas Southern University, in the historic Third Ward in Houston, Texas. Yates High School handles grades nine through twelve and is part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD).

Yates was named after Reverend John Henry "Jack" Yates, a former slave and a minister. Jack Yates and other leading blacks established the Houston Baptist Academy. Within a decade, the success of the school prompted Reverend Yates to reorganize the Houston Baptist Academy as the Houston College, the school offered a special opportunity to the black children of the community who sought an alternative to the Colored High School of the public school system.

Yates has HISD's magnet program for communications: broadcast TV, radio, print, and photography. Yates also houses a maritime studies magnet program.

In 2010, Paul Knight of the Houston Press wrote that "the school remains a symbol of solidarity in the Third Ward."

In June 2016, members of the Jack Yates and HISD communities held a ground-breaking ceremony for the new campus. A $59.4 million campus was completed next to the old campus in summer 2018.

Segregation
Yates was established on February 8, 1926, as Yates Colored High School with 17 teachers and 600 students. The school, at 2610 Elgin, was the second school for African-Americans in Houston. At the time schools were segregated on the basis of race.

Previously Houston had only one secondary school for black people, Colored High School. In 1925 the school board stated that it would build a new black high school due to the increasing black population. The Houston Informer stated that the schools need to be named after prominent black people from the city and/or other successful black persons. The new high school was to be named after Jack Yates, a prominent black Houstonian, and the original colored high school was renamed Booker T. Washington High School.

The original Yates High was built from a $4 million (about $ when accounting for inflation) bond program, which included $500,000 (about $ when accounting for inflation) to renovate 17 existing schools and build new schools. Clifton Richardson, the editor of the Houston Informer, had felt skepticism towards this proposal but ultimately asked Houston's African-Americans to vote for the bond and endorsed it in the Informer. In 1925, HISD originally proposed to have the school built for $100,000 (about $ when accounting for inflation), but Richardson opposed this plan, prompting the district to revise the bond. The first principal, James D. Ryan, served from the opening until his death in 1941; William S. Holland became Yates's second principal that year.

In 1927, the Yates building began housing Houston Colored Junior College, later Houston College for Negroes.

In pre-desegregation times middle and upper class black families sent their children to Yates.

By February 1951, Yates had 2,100 students. By that month Jack Yates had an addition that slightly increased student capacity and a remodeling, but the school was still overcrowded as the enlarged facility was designed for 1,600 students. By March 1954 the student body was over 3,000. As a result of the overcrowding the Southern Association of Secondary Schools pulled Yates's accreditation.

In 1955, as a new Allen Elementary School opened in a neighborhood far from its original location, the former Allen campus, in what is now Midtown, became the Yates Annex, a school for black 7th graders. In 1956, the annex was converted into J. Will Jones Elementary School.

On January 27, 1958, Worthing High School opened, relieving Yates. Yates moved to its Sampson Street location in September 1958. Yates's former site became Ryan Colored Junior High School (now Ryan Middle School), named after the first principal of Yates. The HISD school board forced Holland to stay at Ryan Middle School instead of moving onto the new Yates, and a petition from the community did not succeed in changing this.

Schools in HISD were named after former principals William S. Holland and James E. Codwell.

Desegregation and post-desegregation
After the 1970 desegregation resulting from the Civil Rights Movement, HISD had established magnet programs and other alternative education programs. Many upper and middle class blacks sent their children to Bellaire High School, Lamar High School, and other schools previously only for Whites; until 1970 HISD counted its Hispanic and Latino students as "white." In addition, many black people moved from the Third Ward to the suburbs. Violence became more common and the facility was defaced with graffiti. William G. Ouchi, author of Making Schools Work: A Revolutionary Plan to Get Your Children the Education They Need, wrote that due to the loss of the middle and upper class students, Yates "fell on hard times."

The Yates photography magnet school program began in fall 1978.

In 1987, a survey at Yates showed that 108 female students were pregnant and 50% of them were having their second pregnancies. In 1989 Chester Smith, the principal, prohibited the school newspaper from publishing a story about a pregnant student.

In the 1990s, superintendent Rod Paige recruited Robert Worthy, who was previously teaching in the Pasadena Independent School District, to revitalize the school. Worthy removed most of the administrators and 60 teachers, making up about half of the faculty, within a two-year period to remove any pre-existing negative cultural influences from Yates. Worthy also established additional Advanced Placement courses and removed a Cleaning and Pressing Program.

In 1997, a geographic area south of Interstate 45 was rezoned from Austin High School to Yates. After the 2000 opening of Chávez High School, portions of the Yates boundary were reassigned to Austin High School.

From 1998 through 2002, the school reported that 99% of students graduating from Yates planned to attend colleges and universities. In response a parent and alumnus of Yates quoted in a 2003 The New York Times article, Larry Blackmon, stated that "Absolutely, positively, no way. You'd get more of an accurate count asking elementary kids if they plan to go to college."

Around 2003, Yates' principal hired several uncertified teachers and substitute teachers, using them to replace experienced but more highly paid teachers who were fired by the principal. In addition around that time Yates had gone without a school library for over a year.

In 2006, Houston mayor Bill White proclaimed February 7 as "Jack Yates Senior High School Day."

In 2007, a Johns Hopkins University study commissioned by the Associated Press cited Yates as a "dropout factory" where at least 40% of the entering freshman class do not make it to their senior year.

In 2008 Ouchi stated that Yates had improved during Worthy's term as principal, citing the "pride" present in the school, the students' compliance with the school uniform policy, and hallways that were "clean enough to eat on".

Yates, along with Sam Houston High School and Kashmere High School, was low-performing in test scores from 2001 to 2004. Because of this problem, there were movements to have the state or another organization take over the schools for a period so the test scores would be at acceptable levels. Yates received an "acceptable" rating from the Texas Education Agency in 2005.

The 2005 enrollment was below 50% of the enrollment 20 years prior. In a 2005 Houston Chronicle article Bill Miller, president of the Yates High School Parent-Teacher-Student Association, criticized the decrease in enrollment. Many students in the Yates High School attendance zone instead chose to attend other high schools. Miller proposed having HISD end its open enrollment policies.

In an e-mail sent in 2010, HISD board member and former Yates student Paula Harris said that she was responsible for having a principal at Yates removed from the school and for having the new principal installed.

In June 2015, Ericka Mellon of the Houston Chronicle wrote that members of the Third Ward community had "concerns about leadership turnover, weak academic performance and safety problems" and were "vocal with its frustrations at Yates".

In May 2015, Donetrus Hill, then the principal of Yates, resigned and took a settlement agreement. Kenneth Davis, who previously served as the principal of Dowling Middle School (now Lawson Middle School) and as a supervisor of HISD middle school principals, became the principal of Yates at that time.

In June 2018, Tiffany Guillory became the principal. In December 2022 HISD administrators placed her on leave. The district leadership did not publicly state why the leave had occurred. Residents in the area stated opposition against a proposal to remove Guillory, and the HISD board of trustees decided to retain her as principal.

In 2023, Stephanie Square became principal.

Served neighborhoods
Several areas inside the 610 Loop that are south of Downtown, including the Third Ward, Timbercrest, University Oaks, Oak Manor, University Woods, Scott Terrace, Lucky 7, South Union, Foster Place, Washington Terrace, MacGregor Place, and LaSalette Place, as well as most of Riverside Terrace, are zoned to Yates.

Cuney Homes, a unit of Houston Housing Authority (HHA) public housing, is zoned to Yates.

In addition, Cambridge Oaks, a university housing complex, is zoned to Yates. Cambridge Oaks houses University of Houston students who have dependent children and is the institution's designated family housing unit.

Campus
The current Yates campus has the Crimson & Gold Café as its cafeteria, and it has eight science laboratories. The campus is located between Texas Southern University and the University of Houston.

In 2012, Richard Connelly of the Houston Press ranked the previous 1958 Yates campus as the second most architecturally beautiful high school campus in Greater Houston. Connelly said that "Some would call this generic, but we like the proud `60s style."

Demographics
In 2018, the school had approximately 900 students. About 90% African-American and 10% Hispanic,

In 2010, the school had about 1,200 students. Most of them were African-American. Of the remainder, 88 were Hispanic, 7 were Asian, and 3 were White.

In the 2015–2016 school year, Yates gained over 110 students who moved from other HISD schools, while 738 high school students previously attending Yates moved to other HISD schools.

Yates had 3,600 students in the mid-1980s. In 2001, by a margin of 700 votes, the student body voted for an Asian American as Mr. Yates, reflecting an increase in non-black students in majority black schools in the Houston area.

School uniform
Students at Yates are required to wear a school uniform. The Texas Education Agency specifies that the parents and/or guardians of students zoned to a school with uniforms may apply for a waiver to opt out of the uniform policy so their children do not have to wear the uniform; parents must specify "bona fide" reasons, such as religious reasons or philosophical objections.

Academics and programs
In 2020, Yates became the fifth HISD high school to become an International Baccalaureate school.

Yates has HISD's magnet program for communications: broadcast TV, radio, print, and photography. Yates also houses a maritime studies magnet program.

Prior to 2015, the school allowed students who missed too many classes to pass a course but otherwise had passing grades to do cleaning work to make up for the absences. HISD asked Yates to change its policy.

Athletics
Yates competes in several sports, but the most prominent and successful sport on campus is boys' basketball. In 1994 Andrew W. Miracle, the author of Lessons of the Locker Room: The Myth of School Sports, wrote that the athletics programs at Yates High School have the same kind of importance in the Third Ward as the athletics programs at rural Texas high schools do for their respective small town and rural communities.

In the segregation era, Yates did not play games against white high schools. It was a part of the Prairie View Interscholastic League, an all-black sports league, from 1940 until 1968. In 1969 the Prairie View League was dissolved and Yates joined the University Interscholastic League (UIL).

In February 2012, Yates was reclassified as a UIL 3A school, down from the 4A level.

Basketball
In 2010, Paul Knight of the Houston Press reported that, "no high school basketball team in the state and perhaps the country has played better than Yates." As of 2010, only two of the players on the basketball team were not from the Third Ward.

In March 2010, Yates' boys basketball team was ranked number one in the nation by USA Today having defeated their opponents by margins of 135, 115, 99 (twice), 98, 90 and 88 points. On January 6, 2010, the basketball team defeated Class 4A District 21 opponent Lee High School (now Wisdom High School) 170–35, setting the state record for points in a game and sparking a debate in the process. Despite a 100-12 halftime lead, the Lions stayed true to their pressing and trapping style, which did not sit well with Lee head coach Jacques Armant.

Jacques Armant, the basketball coach at Lee High, criticized the mass scoring, saying that it could cause violence. ESPN writer Rick Reilly criticized Yates basketball Coach Greg Wise and stated "At the very least, USA Today ought to remove Yates from its national rankings—the school is No. 1—as a statement about basic sports decency."

As of 2015, Jack Yates boys' basketball program has won four state titles since the 2009 season.

American football
In the segregation era schools for blacks played their games on weekdays while schools for whites played their games on Fridays.

In 1939, Yates coach Andrew "Pat" Patterson asked principal William S. Holland to meet with E. B. Evans, the president of Prairie View A&M University, to discuss regulating American football played by black schools and establishing a football league for them. The Prairie View Leagues established a football league in 1940 and Yates was in this league until 1968. Rick Sherrod, author of Texas High School Football Dynasties, described Patterson as the "architect" of the PVIL football league.

Historically the American football game between Yates and Wheatley High School was among the most prominent ones in the United States. Beginning in 1927, each Thanksgiving Day the school's American football team played Yates High School's football team at the Jeppeson Stadium. The Yates-Wheatley Thanksgiving football match, described by On American Soil: How Justice Became a Casualty of World War II author Jack Hamann as "the most important noncollege football game in the country", often had crowds that had over 30,000 people. The rivalry declined after Yates joined the UIL, and after the football leagues integrated the Thanksgiving Day Yates-Wheatley game ended.

Coach Patterson, while in the PVIL league, had a 73.2% win record, 200-64-9, and his team received four state titles from PVIL.

Yates lost to Lake Highlands High School in the 1981 Texas state American football championship game. The principal of Yates stated that a "positive atmosphere" occurred in the Third Ward despite the loss since Yates had gotten to the championships.

Yates won the 1985 Texas 5-A American football championship game at Texas Stadium in Irving, defeating the Odessa Permian High School.

In 1994, the head football coach of Yates stated that "You cannot deny that football affects the community in a big way."

Animation camera

An animation camera, a type of rostrum camera, is a movie camera specially adapted for frame-by-frame shooting of animation. It consists of a camera body with lens and film magazines, and is most often placed on a stand that allows the camera to be raised and lowered above a table often having both top and underneath lighting. The artwork to be photographed is placed on this table.

For stop motion photography, the camera can also be mounted on a tripod or other support, pointing in any desired direction.

Since most animation is now produced digitally, new animation cameras are not widely manufactured. Image scanners, video cameras and digital SLRs have taken their place.

Examples of professional animation cameras (16 and 35 mm)
A partial list of manufacturers of animation cameras includes:
 * Acme Tool and Manufacturing (USA)
 * Crass (Germany)
 * Neilson-Hordell (UK)
 * Oxberry (USA)

 * Double M Industries (USA)
 * A.I.A. Productions (USA)
 * Mechanical Concepts (USA)

The Bell & Howell 2709 (design 27, first made in 1909) is the prototype of the Acme, and the Acme is the prototype of the Oxberry. Each employs a fixed pin and shuttle movement mechanism for film registration and film advancement, respectively. Other names associated with Acme were Producer's Service Corporation and Photo-Sonics, both of which firms manufactured Acme products at various times.

16 mm
The 16 mm Bolex camera is often used for amateur and semi-professional single frame filming, either using its built-in spring drive, or an attached electric single-frame motor.

Birth year?
The text says 1950, but the persondata has 1948. I've categorized the birth year as missing meanwhile. Dsp13 12:30, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I looked everywhere they say "1948" and not "1950", so I am changing it. (Trampton 09:45, 13 March 2007 (UTC)).

I've been a Patti Austin fan for 25 years. It's true that a lot of sources say 1948, it's nevertheless wrong. In an article of the "Jet Magazine" from December 2005, she is quoted "Being 55, I know how not to get stupid", and she's really not the type to lie about these kind of things. I'm changing the date back. Ebab 17:22, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It makes more sense having both data.--Engelbaet 09:19, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. Two birth dates for one person make no sense at all, unless there is a really compelling reason. I have given a source where Patti Austin gives her age. If you want to dispute her own statement, you should give a really good source, not just something you can find "everywhere" in the Internet. Ebab 21:38, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The mentioned article is not such a reference. There is a big uncertaincy in the assumed birth date 1950, too. Cf. Verifiability.--Engelbaet 10:37, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

The so-called "Love Collection"
I'm removing the reference to "Love Collection" under "Compilations", because it's not a compilation but another release of the "Street of Dreams" album, minus one track. Ebab 17:37, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Bob James
Patti also did vocals on Bob James' 1974 album "Two." The song is called "I Feel a Song in My Heart," and the whole album is the perfect soundtrack for strolling through Philadelphia in the rain. In my opinion, of course. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

Why are you constantly putting peoples surnames when describing what about them? You're doing that over and over. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Celeste6566 (talk • contribs) 00:56, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Possible sources for her stage show back in 2002
I'm not sure where the best place would be to put it and I worked tech for the show so I probably shouldn't add it myself. But she wrote and starred in a show named for one of her songs around the same time she was getting back with major record labels. It was called Patti Austin: On the Way to Love and was staged during the 01-02 theatre season at the Sacramento Theatre Company, not long after the album of the same name came out. It was basically a biographical piece with music. So far as I know she never did the show anywhere else.

List of former Atlanta street names

From its founding in 1847, Atlanta has had a penchant for frequent street renamings, even in the central business district, usually to honor the recently deceased. As early as 1903 (see section below), there were concerns about the confusion this caused, as "more than 225 streets of Atlanta have had from two to eight names" in the first decades of the city.

Many recent Atlanta street renamings commemorate prominent African Americans in Atlanta's history. These renamings can be identified by the use of the person's full name (e.g., Rev. Dr. Joseph E. Lowery Boulevard) rather than the more traditional last name only (e.g., Cain Street).

According to local and state rules and regulations, street renamings must have support of 75% of property owners along that street, and state guides advise against using proper names as street names. However, these rules and procedures are usually ignored or waived, as demonstrated by the recent Ted Turner Drive at Historic Spring Street renaming resolution by the Atlanta City Council.

Developer Forrest Adair had provided the Atlanta City Council this list of more than 225 streets whose names had been changed from the 1847 founding of the city up until that time. Some streets had experienced multiple renamings, bearing as many as nine different names, resulting in over 650 total names, such as:
 * Haynes Street, 7th name, as of 1903, formerly named: 1) Manning Street; 2) Harris Street; 3) Booths Alley; 4) Hayden Street; 5) Markham Street, and; 6) Stewart Street

Wrap this up
i think it's time we wrapped this vfd up... Project2501a 14:25, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yes, this should be wrapped up. The vote was almost unanimous in favour of deleted, 19 supporting deletion, 2 supporting merging, none supporting keeping. I believe that Vfd candidates are usually removed five days after their nomination, but we are currently more than a week overdue. It's time that an admin acted. →Iñgōlemo←  talk  23:02, 2005 Jun 3 (UTC)

comment by User:Truthteller

 * I propose that the Word "Dinosaur" be withdrawn from modern Usage, and that the Word "Dragon" (which preceeded it for 1000+ years) be reinstated to its original meaning as the correct Scientific term for these Creatures that have only recently went extinct. --Truthteller 14:45, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I propose you get a clue. i even offer to buy you one. but since you seem so bend on this, as a only true fanboy is, i suggest you go to to the next paleontological symposium and ask them nicely what you just proposed. please call me up to make sure i'll be there with a camera, cuz, you know:

Digital Camera: $500 Trip to paleontological symposium: $1000. Fanboy getting really hard laughed at and ridiculed: Priceless.

I suppose you didn't even read Dinosaur. nobody really knew about those reptelians till the 19th century. A Dragon is a mythological creature.

William Grant, Lord Prestongrange

William Grant, Lord Prestongrange (1701 – 23 May 1764), was a Scottish politician and judge.

Grant was procurator for the Church of Scotland and Clerk to the General Assembly in 1731. He campaigned against patronage in the Church. He was appointed Solicitor General for Scotland in 1737 and promoted to Lord Advocate in 1746. He was Member of Parliament for Elgin Burghs from 1747 to 1754, and carried bills for the abolition of heritable jurisdictions, wardholding and for annexation of forfeited estates to the Crown. He was appointed a Lord of Session and Justiciary as Lord Prestongrange in 1754, and a Commissioner of annexed estates in 1755.

Biography
William Grant was the second surviving son of Sir Francis Grant, Lord Cullen, by his first wife, Jean, daughter of the Rev. William Meldrum of Meldrum, Aberdeenshire. He was admitted an advocate on 24 February 1722, and on 13 May 1731 was appointed Procurator to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, and principal clerk to the general assembly.

In 1736 Grant wrote a pamphlet Remarks on the State of the Church of Scotland with respect to Patronages, and with reference to a Bill now depending before Parliament, On 20 June 1737 he succeeded Charles Erskine of Tinwald as Solicitor General, and on 28 August in the following year was constituted one of the commissioners for improving the fisheries and manufactures of Scotland. Upon the retirement of Robert Craigie, Grant was appointed Lord Advocate on 26 February 1746, and on 20 May following the assembly held that the lord advocate could not act as procurator and clerk, and that consequently these offices were vacated.

At a by-election in February 1747 Grant was returned to parliament as member for the Elgin Burghs, and on 1 April 1747 was "added to the gentlemen who are appointed to prepare and bring in a bill for taking away and abolishing the heretable jurisdictions in … Scotland". Grant took part in the debate on the second reading of the bill, and is said by Horace Walpole to have spoken "excessively well for it". This important measure of Scottish reform was subsequently carried through both houses and passed, as well as another bill, which had been introduced by the lord advocate and the English law officers, for the abolition of ward holding.

At the general election in July 1747 Grant was again returned for the Elgin burghs, and in April 1749 supported the grant to the city of Glasgow for the losses sustained during the rebellion in a vigorous speech. On 24 February 1752 he introduced a bill for annexing the forfeited estates in Scotland to the crown inalienably, which after some opposition became law.

He was for the third time returned for the Elgin burghs at the general election in May 1754, but vacated his seat on his appointment as an ordinary lord of session and a Lord of Justiciary in the place of Patrick Grant, Lord Elchies. He took his seat on the bench on 14 November 1754, and assumed the title of Lord Prestongrange. In the following year he was appointed one of the commissioners for the annexed estates. Grant died at Bath on 23 May 1764, aged 63, and was buried on 7 June following in the aisle of Prestonpans Church, Haddingtonshire, where a monument in the churchyard was erected to his memory.

Works
Grant is said to have written The occasional Writer, containing an Answer to the second Manifesto of the Pretender's eldest Son, which bears date at the Palace of Holyrood House, 10 October 1745; containing Reflections, political and historical, upon the last Revolution, and the Progress of the present Rebellion in Scotland,' London, 1745, 8vo.

The authorship of this pamphlet has, however, also been ascribed to Thomas Hollis.

Assessment
Tytler speaks highly of his integrity, candour, and "winning gentleness", and says that his "conduct in the adjustment of the claims on the forfeited estates merited universal approbation". With the exception of the proceedings at the trial of James Stewart in May 1752 (where as Lord Advocate he was chief prosecutor), Grant's conduct as public prosecutor was both fair and moderate.

Family
Grant married Grizel (died 1792), daughter of the Rev. – Millar. They had four daughters:
 * Janet, who married John, 4th Earl of Hyndford;
 * Agnes, who married Sir George Suttie, Baronet, of Balgone;
 * Jean, who married Robert Dundas of Arniston, the younger, the second lord president of that name; and
 * Christian, who died unmarried in 1761.

On the death of Janet, Countess of Hyndford in 1818, her nephew, Sir James Suttie, succeeded to the Preston-Grange estate (purchased by Grant in 1746), and assumed the additional surname of Grant.

Culture
Grant was the chief prosecutor of "James of the Glen" Stewart for aiding and abetting "The Appin Murder" – the May 1752 ambush and murder of Colin "The Red Fox" Campbell. This incident is described in Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Catriona where he appears as Lord Prestongrange.

Untitled
Thee Charles Best page ignores the damning evidence found in Michael bliss 1982 book "The discovery of Insulin" and his 1993 article "Rewriting Medical History: Charles Best and the Banting and Best myth" in the Journal of the history of Medicine and allied sciences. There is an excellent chapter relating to the true story of insulin`s discovery(and not the Best fantasy which is being peddled here) in John Waller`s 2002 book "Fabulous Science-fact and fiction in the history of scientific discovery"

I have started to change the page, I substituted "vital" with the more accurate "small" in the first paragraph and tried to explain the nobel Controversy which isnt a Controversy at all. In fact I have taken the link to the controversy page out.

Stevenscollege 3/6/05

why would you do that???? best was involved so it is a controversy —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.159.3.161 (talk • contribs) 03:07, 21 December 2006

"Rewriting Medical History: Charles Best and the Banting and Best Myth" by Michael Bliss can be found online. –panda (talk) 21:20, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

 * First: Best almost certainly wasn't old enough, knowledgeable or experienced enough to have discovered insulin without Banting. Like these two, many people help senior scientists do their research; actually doing the work isn't qualification enough to win a Nobel. The way it was almost always done in those days was for the senior scientist to get the prize. He who gets the prestige, money and equipment together to enable the research usually walks away with everything. That's the way it works everywhere. Who built the Panama canal, the Hoover Dam? The Trans-Siberia Railroad? Not the guys who got credit for them. Want to see a really annoying example in science? read about astronomer Henrietta_Swan_Leavitt; her *extremely* important discovery was how to measure the distance to stars. Edwin Hubble =himself= said she should have won a Nobel (but then Hubble didn't get a Nobel until after his death either). Another: Shockley got a Nobel for the transistor, because he was the leader of the group, not because he actually did the hard work. Twang (talk) 09:43, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
