Greg Howard (musician)

Greg Howard (July 26, 1964 – April 22, 2023 ) was a Chapman Stick player based in Charlottesville, Virginia. Howard played saxophone and keyboards in area bands before switching to the Stick in 1985. An early recording with guitarist Tim Reynolds was released on cassette in 1987 as Sticks and Stones.

Howard played with the Dave Matthews Band on two albums (Remember Two Things, 1993, and Before These Crowded Streets, 1998) and performed with the band in concert. He also collaborated with Dave Matthews Band saxophonist LeRoi Moore on various projects.

In 2000, the Greg Howard Band (with Dutch musicians Jan van Olffen, Jan Wolfkamp, and Hubert Heeringa) released an album, Lift.

Howard performed and led Chapman Stick seminars in North America and Europe. He has also written three method books: The Stick Book, Volume 1 (1997), and The Greg Howard Songbook (2009), and Tapping into Bach (2021) as well as an instructional DVD for the Stick, Basic Free Hands Technique, released in 2011.

Moondog King

Edward John White (May 18, 1949 – August 26, 2005) was a Canadian professional wrestler, best known as Sailor White and as Moondog King of The Moondogs when he joined the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) in the early 1980s. White won championships in Canada and around the globe. He also wrestled in South Africa as Big John Strongbo.

Professional wrestling career
After doing work on Great Lakes boats, White made his professional wrestling debut in Pembroke, Ontario, on May 22, 1972, against Michael Gango for promoter Larry Kasaboski. While in Quebec he was the Grand Prix tag team champion in 1976, International Heavyweight champion in 1982, International tag team champion twice in 1982–1984 and won the Canadian Television Championship in 1984.

He was most known for his time in the WWF as Moondog King where he teamed with Moondog Rex and won the WWF Tag Team Championship (then WWWF) from Tony Garea and Rick Martel in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in March 1981.

After he was denied re-entry to the United States at the Canada–United States border, the WWWF replaced him with substitutes including Stan Hansen, Hulk Hogan, Lou Albano and Sgt. Slaughter before selecting Moondog Spot as a permanent replacement. Gorilla Monsoon explained his absence stating King had been hit by a car. White claims the border dispute involved a rival wrestling promoter alerting the authorities to his criminal past whereas some say it was drug related.

After the WWF, he worked in Montreal for Lutte Internationale teaming with Gilles Poisson. He retired from wrestling in 1986. Then on October 22, 1990, he returned to a WWF house show as "Sailor Moondog White" where he lost to The British Bulldog at the Ottawa Civic Center. In 1991, he appeared a few appearances for World Championship Wrestling in house shows where he fought against Brad Armstrong. His last match was a victory over Mike Winter.

White ran twice for Canada's House of Commons. In April 2000, White in a St. John's West by-election for the Canadian Extreme Wrestling Party. His motto was "Parliament Needs a Moondog". On July 28, 2004, White ran for the House of Commons of Canada, representing the Green Party of Canada in Bonavista—Exploits, but lost to Scott Simms of the Liberal Party of Canada. White received 367 votes to Simms's 15,970.

Illness and death
He suffered from Bell's palsy in 1999 and had two heart attacks by then. In 2002, he underwent triple bypass surgery and on December 2, 2004, his taxi crashed, breaking two bones in his neck and pinching a nerve in his spinal cord. He remained hospitalized on life support until his death on August 26, 2005. White was survived by his daughter, Rozlynn White, and grandchildren, Keygan Hewitt, Hudson, Owen, Ethan and Quinton. His biography Sailor White was written by Dave Elliott.

Non-competitive inhibition

Non-competitive inhibition is a type of enzyme inhibition where the inhibitor reduces the activity of the enzyme and binds equally well to the enzyme whether or not it has already bound the substrate. This is unlike competitive inhibition, where binding affinity for the substrate in the enzyme is decreased in the presence of an inhibitor.

The inhibitor may bind to the enzyme whether or not the substrate has already been bound, but if it has a higher affinity for binding the enzyme in one state or the other, it is called a mixed inhibitor.

History
During his years working as a physician Leonor Michaelis and a friend Peter Rona built a compact lab, in the hospital, and over the course of five years – Michaelis successfully became published over 100 times. During his research in the hospital, he was the first to view the different types of inhibition; specifically using fructose and glucose as inhibitors of maltase activity. Maltase breaks maltose into two units of glucose. Findings from that experiment allowed for the divergence of non-competitive and competitive inhibition. Non-competitive inhibition affects the kcat value (but not the Km) on any given graph; this inhibitor binds to a site that has specificity for the certain molecule. Michaelis determined that when the inhibitor is bound, the enzyme would become inactivated.

Like many other scientists of their time, Leonor Michaelis and Maud Menten worked on a reaction that was used to change the composition of sucrose and make it lyse into two products – fructose and glucose. The enzyme involved in this reaction is called invertase, and it is the enzyme the kinetics of which have been supported by Michaelis and Menten to be revolutionary for the kinetics of other enzymes. While expressing the rate of the reaction studied, they derived an equation that described the rate in a way which suggested that it is mostly dependent on the enzyme concentration, as well as on presence of the substrate, but only to a certain extent.

Adrian John Brown and Victor Henri laid the groundwork for the discoveries in enzyme kinetics that Michaelis and Menten are known for. Brown theoretically envisioned the mechanism now accepted for enzyme kinetics, but did not have the quantitative data to make a claim. Victor Henri made significant contributions to enzyme kinetics during his doctoral thesis, however he lacked noting the importance of hydrogen ion concentration and mutarotation of glucose. The goal of Henri's thesis was to compare his knowledge of enzyme-catalysed reactions to the recognized laws of physical chemistry. Henri is credited with being the first to write the equation that is now known as the Michaelis-Menten equation. Using glucose and fructose in the catalytic reactions controlled by maltase and invertase, Leonor Michaelis was the first scientist to distinguish the different types of inhibition by using the pH scale which did not exist in Henri's time.

Particularly during their work on describing the rate of this reaction they also tested and extrapolated on the idea of another scientist, Victor Henri, that enzyme they were using had some affinity for both products of this reaction – fructose and glucose. Using Henri's methods, Michaelis and Menten nearly perfected this concept of initial-rate method for steady-state experiments. They were studying inhibition when they found that non-competitive (mixed) inhibition is characterized by its effect on kcat (catalyst rate) while competitive is characterized by its effect on velocity (V). In the Michaelis and Menten experiments they heavily focused on pH effects of invertase using hydrogen ions. Invertase is an enzyme found in extracellular yeast and catalyzed reactions by hydrolysis or inverting a sucrose (mixture of sucrose and fructose) to “invert sugar.” The main reason for using invertase was that it could be easily assayed and experiments could be done in quicker manner. Sucrose rotates in polarimeter as dextroratatory-D whereas invert sugar is levorotatory-L. This made tracking the inversion of sugar relatively simple. They also found that α-D-glucose is released in reactions catalyzed by invertase which is very unstable and spontaneously changes to β-D-glucose. Although, these are both in the dextrorotatory form, this is where they noted that glucose can change spontaneously, also known as mutarotation. Failing to take this into consideration was one of the main reasons Henri's experiments fell short. Using invertase to catalyze sucrose inversion, they could see how fast the enzyme was reacting by polarimetry; therefore, non-competitive inhibition was found to occur in the reaction where sucrose was inverted with invertase.

Terminology
It is important to note that while all non-competitive inhibitors bind the enzyme at allosteric sites (i.e. locations other than its active site)—not all inhibitors that bind at allosteric sites are non-competitive inhibitors. In fact, allosteric inhibitors may act as competitive, non-competitive, or uncompetitive inhibitors.

Many sources continue to conflate these two terms, or state the definition of allosteric inhibition as the definition for non-competitive inhibition.

Mechanism
Non-competitive inhibition models a system where the inhibitor and the substrate may both be bound to the enzyme at any given time. When both the substrate and the inhibitor are bound, the enzyme-substrate-inhibitor complex cannot form product and can only be converted back to the enzyme-substrate complex or the enzyme-inhibitor complex. Non-competitive inhibition is distinguished from general mixed inhibition in that the inhibitor has an equal affinity for the enzyme and the enzyme-substrate complex.

For example, in the enzyme-catalyzed reactions of glycolysis, accumulation phosphoenol is catalyzed by pyruvate kinase into pyruvate. Alanine is an amino acid which is synthesized from pyruvate also inhibits the enzyme pyruvate kinase during glycolysis. Alanine is a non-competitive inhibitor, therefore it binds away from the active site to the substrate in order for it to still be the final product.

Another example of non-competitive inhibition is given by glucose-6-phosphate inhibiting hexokinase in the brain. Carbons 2 and 4 on glucose-6-phosphate contain hydroxyl groups that attach along with the phosphate at carbon 6 to the enzyme-inhibitor complex. The substrate and enzyme are different in their group combinations that an inhibitor attaches to. The ability of glucose-6-phosphate to bind at different places at the same time makes it a non-competitive inhibitor.

The most common mechanism of non-competitive inhibition involves reversible binding of the inhibitor to an allosteric site, but it is possible for the inhibitor to operate via other means including direct binding to the active site. It differs from competitive inhibition in that the binding of the inhibitor does not prevent binding of substrate, and vice versa, but simply prevents product formation for a limited time. This type of inhibition reduces the maximum rate of a chemical reaction without changing the apparent binding affinity of the catalyst for the substrate (Kmapp – see Michaelis-Menten kinetics). When a non-competitive inhibitor is added the Vmax is changed, while the Km remains unchanged. According to the Lineweaver-Burk plot the Vmax is reduced during the addition of a non-competitive inhibitor, which is shown in the plot by a change in both the slope and y-intercept when a non-competitive inhibitor is added.

The primary difference between competitive and non-competitive is that competitive inhibition affects the substrate's ability to bind by binding an inhibitor in place of a substrate, which lowers the affinity of the enzyme for the substrate. In non-competitive inhibition, the inhibitor binds to an allosteric site and prevents the enzyme-substrate complex from performing a chemical reaction. This does not affect the Km (affinity) of the enzyme (for the substrate). Non-competitive inhibition differs from uncompetitive inhibition in that it still allows the substrate to bind to the enzyme-inhibitor complex and form an enzyme-substrate-inhibitor complex, this is not true in uncompetitive inhibition, it prevents the substrate from binding to the enzyme inhibitor through conformational change upon allosteric binding.

Equation
In the presence of a non-competitive inhibitor, the apparent enzyme affinity is equivalent to the actual affinity. In terms of Michaelis-Menten kinetics, Kmapp = Km. This can be seen as a consequence of Le Chatelier's principle because the inhibitor binds to both the enzyme and the enzyme-substrate complex equally so that the equilibrium is maintained. However, since some enzyme is always inhibited from converting the substrate to product, the effective enzyme concentration is lowered.

Mathematically,

 * $$ V_{max}^{app} = \frac{V_{max}}{1+\frac{[I]}{K_I}}$$

 * $$ {apparent\ [E]_0} = \frac{[E]_0}{1+\frac{[I]}{K_I}}$$

Example: noncompetitive inhibitors of CYP2C9 enzyme
Noncompetitive inhibitors of CYP2C9 enzyme include nifedipine, tranylcypromine, phenethyl isothiocyanate, and 6-hydroxyflavone. Computer docking simulation and constructed mutants substituted indicate that the noncompetitive binding site of 6-hydroxyflavone is the reported allosteric binding site of CYP2C9 enzyme.

Exxxtasy TV

Exxxtasy TV is a Canadian English language exempt Category B specialty channel. It is a pay television adult entertainment television channel consisting of explicit adult material, primarily pornographic films, aimed at male audiences. The channel is owned by Ten Broadcasting, a company owned by Stuart Duncan (80.01%) and LFP Video Inc. (19.99%).

History
In December 2000, TEN Broadcasting Inc. was granted approval for a television broadcasting licence by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) for a channel called TEN - Channel 1, described as "a national English-language Category 2 specialty television service devoted to adult entertainment programming, including adult entertainment films, talk shows, phone-in shows and other programming on the theme of sexuality. This will range from entertainment material to educational and analytical material on sexuality and health."

In June 2003, TEN reached a deal with Larry Flynt Publications to brand the channel under the Hustler name. It was subsequently launched in July 2003 as Hustler TV, initially on StarChoice.

It was Canada's first 24-hour subscription specialty service devoted to explicit adult content. Since that time, several other similar channels have been launched including Red Hot TV, which is also owned by Ten Broadcasting, and several other channels by various other owners. Before its launch, Playboy TV (USA) was readily available across Canada More TV @ Flivetv.com. On August 30, 2013, the CRTC approved Ten Broadcasting's request to convert Hustler TV from a licensed Category B specialty service to an exempted Cat. B service.

In mid-2014, Hustler TV terminated its deal with Ten Broadcasting over an undisclosed business dispute. The channel rebranded soon afterwards as Exxxtasy TV.

Hobbs meter

Hobbs meter is a generic trademark for devices used in aviation to measure the time that an aircraft is in use. The meters typically display hours and tenths of an hour, but there are several ways in which the meter may be activated:

 * 1) It can measure the time that the electrical system is on. This maximizes the recorded time.
 * 2) It can be activated by oil pressure running into a pressure switch, and therefore runs while the engine is running. Many rental aircraft use this method to remove the incentive to fly with the master electrical switch off.
 * 3) It can be activated by another switch, either an airspeed sensing vane under a wing (as in the Cessna Caravan) or a pressure switch attached to the landing gear (as in many twin engine planes). In these cases, the meter only measures the time the aircraft is actually flying. Metrics such as Time In Service and Turbine Actual Runtime are kept to monitor overhaul cycles, and are usually used by commercial operators under Federal Aviation Regulations Parts 135, 121, or 125.
 * 4) It can be activated when the engine alternators are online (as in the Cirrus SR series).

General aviation use
For general aviation, Hobbs time is usually recorded in the pilot's log book, and many fixed-base operators that rent airplanes charge an hourly rate based on Hobbs Time. Tach Time is recorded in the engine's log books and is used, for example, to determine when the oil should be changed and the time between overhauls. Tach (tachometer) time differs from Hobbs Time in that it is linked to engine revolutions per minute (RPM). Tach Time records the time at some specific RPM. It is most accurate at cruise RPM, and least accurate while taxiing or stationary with the engine running. At these times, the clock runs slower. Depending on the type of flight, Tach Time can be 10–20% less than Hobbs Time. Many organizations such as flying clubs charge by Tach Time so as to differentiate themselves from fixed-base operators by the fact that 10-20% less time recorded makes it 10-20% cheaper to fly (if the hourly rate is the same). In the case where flying clubs use Tach Time, many will charge a dry rate, thus requiring the renter to pay for fuel on top of the hourly Tach Time rate.

History
The Hobbs Meter is named after John Weston Hobbs (1889–1968), who in 1938 founded the company named after him in Springfield, Illinois which manufactured the first electrically wound clocks for vehicle use. World War II created the demand for aviation hour meters which led to the development of the original Hobbs Meter. The company was eventually renamed Honeywell Hobbs after being acquired by Honeywell International, who in 2009 announced plans to move manufacturing to Mexico.

In 2022 Honeywell obsoleted all of their hour meters including the Hobbs Meter line.

Milt Josefsberg

Milt Josefsberg (June 29, 1911 – December 14, 1987) was an American screenwriter.

Career
Milt Josefsberg's first big break came in 1938, when he was hired as writer on Bob Hope's radio program. Five years later, in the summer of 1943, he left Hope and took over as one of four new writers on The Jack Benny Program on the radio. At the time, Benny's two main writers, Bill Morrow and Ed Beloin, had just recently left the show. Josefsberg was to remain with Jack Benny for twelve years, until the closure of Benny's radio program in 1955. During his long association with Benny, Josefsberg would collaborate with all of Benny's other writers, although he tended to work most closely with John Tackaberry. From the early 1950s, he also worked on Benny's TV show. Even after his partnership with Benny officially ended, Josefsberg would reportedly write stand-up material for Benny on occasion in the 1960s.

From the mid-1950s onward, Josefsberg worked as a writer for many television sitcoms, such as The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy, The Odd Couple, All in the Family, and Archie Bunker's Place. Jim Wickey of The Green House, The Rip Borsley Show once commented about Josefsberg: "'Milt Josefsberg is an American success story. I doubt I would be writing if I had not been influenced by Milt, and I know that can be said for many of today's writers. The WGA picket line would be thinner without him!'"

Also a producer and script reader, Josefsberg, who was called by Mel Shavelson, one-time creative partner and three-time Writers Gould of America (WGA) president "the maven of comedy", did such for the television show, The Joey Bishop Show from 1961 to 1965, the film Butterfly (1979), as well as the TV series, You Can't Take It with You which ran from 1987 to 1988. In later years, he also penned the books The Jack Benny Show (1977), reminiscing about his years as a writer on Benny's radio and TV shows, and Comedy Writing for Television and Hollywood.

Family life and death
Josefsberg and his wife Hilda had two sons, Steven and Alan. Alan had two children, Suzi and Dean. Josefberg's great grandchildren, Amber and Taylor Ellison (Suzi's) and Mason and Matthew Josefsberg (Dean's), live today in Southern California. Josefsberg died in Burbank, California.

Talk:Killing Me Softly (film)

Cover Image
Seems to me that we have a slight dispute over which of the images to use. I personally prefer the one I uploaded, Killing-Me-Softly-Film.png, but I'm open to persuasion. Rob Church Talk 02:20, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I replaced the existing image with the poster for the unrated version of the film Image:Killing_Me_Softly_Poster.jpg. It has less artifacting than the previous image, and is only slightly bigger in size. --Fizan 11:19, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Things to Add

 * Basic plot needs cleaning up, bits need taking out where non-relevant; keep it a bit generic. Add a spoiler notice.
 * More about production, similar films the director has done, etc.
 * Categorisation
 * Any awards?

FIX NOW
She spends the remainder of the movie trying to uncover Adam's mysterious past and but resist her sexual attraction towards him.

the and but bit is the part i want fixed

Pictures
Is it necessary to show pictures from the sex scene? Wikipedia is, after all, an encyclopedia, and the entry for "pornography" usually isn't accompanied with pictures. If there is no logical reason for the pictures to be there, they shouldn't be. They add to the article in no other way than either a.) arousing some high-school kid using a family computer, or b.) unnecessarily showing pure gratuitous nudity to anyone who comes to the article (children can use the internet, too). I'm reworking the article, if you feel that it needs to be changed back, please discuss it on my talk page. Thank you.  Zchris87v  09:25, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I think the sex scene pictures are a must, as this is no ordinary soft-porn, this is the kind of movie that generations of young men will grow up masturbating to - I know I did. Ms. Graham deserves a Nobel prize. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.241.5.61 (talk) 08:53, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Killing Me Softly Poster.jpg
Image:Killing Me Softly Poster.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Teodósio, Prince of Brazil

Dom Teodósio, Prince of Brazil, Duke of Braganza (Teodósio de Bragança; ; 8 February 1634 – 15 May 1653) was the eldest son of John IV of Portugal and heir apparent to the Portuguese throne from 1640 until his death. In 1645, he was created Prince of Brazil and 9th Duke of Braganza.

Biography
Born on 8 February 1634 in Vila Viçosa, Teodósio was the first child of John IV of Portugal and Luisa de Guzmán, then the Duke and Duchess of Braganza. Shortly after birth, he was granted the title Duke of Barcelos.

In December 1640, John was proclaimed King John IV of Portugal by the Portuguese nobility, marking the end of the 60-year-old Iberian Union and establishing the House of Braganza on the Portuguese throne. A month later, on 28 January 1641, Teodósio was sworn in as heir apparent by the Portuguese Cortes. Seeking to grant a more prestigious title that would reflect the grandeur of the new dynasty, John IV created the title Prince of Brazil and bestowed it, alongside the title of Duke of Braganza, upon Teodósio in a royal decree issued 27 October 1645.

In 1646, John IV attempted to secure a dynastic alliance with France by proposing Teodósio marry Louis XIII's niece, La Grande Mademoiselle. Desperate to solidify the match, John secretly proposed abdicating his throne in favor of Teodósio. Later, António Vieira suggested to fellow Jesuits that the prince marry a Spanish princess. Both schemes amounted to nothing.

Teodósio received a comprehensive education aimed at preparing him for governance. He was interested in philosophy, astronomy, mathematics, and watchmaking. In addition to his native Portuguese, Teodósio mastered Greek, Latin, Italian, and Castilian. He began participating in State Council meetings in 1649. The focus on a humanist curriculum drew criticism from nobles who advocated for Teodósio's engagement in military service as befitting his role as crown prince.

Against his father's wishes, Teodósio ran away from court to join an army in Alentejo at seventeen years old. After being persuaded to return, he was given the title Captain-General of Arms in January 1652.

Death
Afflicted with tuberculosis in late 1652, Teodósio died on 15 May 1653. His death, deemed a "major disaster for the regime", deeply impacted his parents. His younger sister, Catherine, would remember him throughout her life and request to be buried beside him when drafting her will more than forty years later.

Teodósio's brother, the medically and mentally problem-ridden Afonso, succeeded him as Prince of Brazil, Duke of Braganza and heir apparent of the kingdom.

FuseDocs (programming)

FuseDocs is a program definition language created by Hal Helms in the late 1990s.

In its original form, FuseDocs used a proprietary vocabulary to define the responsibilities, properties, and I/O of code module in the ColdFusion programming language. In its second form (2.0), FuseDocs uses an XML vocabulary. In essence, FuseDocs forms a sort of work order, telling the programmer everything needed to write the module, and nothing more. A Fusebox architect is responsible for creating the FuseDocs for an application. A DTD for FuseDocs is available at fusebox.org.

Although FuseDocs was so named because of its creation within the Fusebox community, it is also used by developers who do not employ Fusebox as an application framework.

Lionel Tarassenko

Lionel Tarassenko, Baron Tarassenko, (born 17 April 1957), is a British engineer, academic and life peer, who is a leading expert in the application of signal processing and machine learning to healthcare. He is President of Reuben College, Oxford.

He was previously Head of Department of Engineering Science (Dean of Engineering) at the University of Oxford, succeeded by Ronald A. Roy. Towards the end of his time as Dean, the Department rose to number 1 in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.

In 1988, he was appointed as the first Tutorial Fellow in Engineering at St Hugh's College, Oxford and was a member of the college for over nine years. Tarassenko was elected Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Oxford in 1997 and was a Professorial Fellow of St John's College, Oxford, from 1997 to 2019. In 2019 he was invited by the Vice-Chancellor Louise Richardson to oversee the development of Reuben College, the University's 39th college. He is also a Pro-Vice Chancellor and the Chair of the Management Committee of the Maison Française d’Oxford.

Tarassenko is the author of over 280 journal papers, 200 conference papers, 3 books and over 30 granted patents. He has supervised 65 doctoral students. He has been a founder director of four University spin-out companies, the latest being Oxehealth in September 2012. He was the R&D Director and Chair of the Strategic Advisory Board of Sensyne Health, an AIM-listed company from 2018 to 2022. He is a director of the University’s wholly owned Technology Transfer company, Oxford University Innovation. He was the editor-in-chief of the 2018 Topol Review of NHS Technology and its impact on the workforce.

Tarassenko was the driving force behind the creation of the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (IBME) at the University of Oxford, which he directed from its opening in April, 2008 to October, 2012. He established an £8m Centre of Excellence in Medical Engineering within the IBME, and led the Technology & Digital Health theme in the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Oxford Biomedical Research Centre from its inception in 2007 until 2022. Under his leadership, the IBME grew from 110 to 220 academic researchers and it was awarded a Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Higher Education in 2015 for “new collaborations between engineering and medicine delivering benefit to patients”.

Education
Tarassenko completed his BA in Engineering Science in 1978 at Keble College, University of Oxford. Later he obtained his DPhil in 1985, also at the University of Oxford for his work on the early identification of brain haemorrhages in pre-term infants.

Career and Research
Together with Professor Alan Murray of University of Edinburgh, Tarassenko is the inventor of the pulse-stream technique for analogue implementation of massively parallel neural networks. He gradually moved away from designing neural network hardware to developing new machine learning algorithms and applying them to problems as diverse as the automated re-heating of food and drinks in a microwave oven (implemented in the Sharp LogiCook oven) and the analysis of sleep disorders. This body of work was recognised in 1996 by the award of the IEE Mather Premium for innovation using neural networks.

Tarassenko then went on to develop methods for learning how to characterise normality in safety-critical systems. With his research team, he designed the QUICK system, which was at the core of Rolls-Royce’s engine health monitoring strategy in the 1990s and the early 2000s. As a result, he and his Rolls-Royce collaborators were awarded the Chairman’s Team Award for Technical Innovation in 2001 and the Sir Henry Royce High Value Patent Award in 2008.

When he became the first Director of the Oxford Institute of Biomedical Engineering in 2008, Tarassenko focused his research on patient monitoring, both in and out of hospital. His work has had a major impact on the identification of deterioration in acute care and on the management of long-term conditions. He has been a pioneer in developing early warning systems for acutely ill patients. The machine-learning system (Visensia) which he designed for patient monitoring in critical care was the first such system to gain FDA approval (in 2008).

In the last decade Tarassenko has led the engineering development of several digital health products including: (a) GDm-Health, a digital therapeutic for the management of gestational diabetes; (b) SEND, a system for monitoring in-hospital patient vital signs and identifying deterioration early; (c) EDGE-COPD, a digital therapeutic for the self-monitoring and self-management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; and (d) Support-HF, a system for heart failure management in the community.

Tarassenko has been a founder director of four University spin-out companies, the latest being Oxehealth in September 2012.

House of Lords
In May 2024, the House of Lords Appointments Commission recommended Tarassenko for appointment as a non-party-political life peer. He was created Baron Tarassenko, of Headington in the City of Oxford, on 10 June 2024, and will sit in the House of Lords as a crossbencher.

Awards and honours
Tarassenko was elected to a Fellowship of the Institute of Electrical Engineers in 1996, when he was also awarded the IEE Mather Premium for his work on neural networks, to a Fellowship of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2000, and to a Fellowship of the Academy of Medical Sciences in 2013. He received a British Computer Society Medal in 1996 for his work on neural network analysis of sleep disorders. His research on jet engine health monitoring was awarded the Rolls-Royce Chairman's Award for Technical Innovation in 2001 and the Sir Henry Royce High Value Patent Award in 2008. His work on mobile phones for healthcare was awarded the E-health 2005 Innovation Award for “best device to empower patients”. He received the 2006 Silver Medal of the Royal Academy of Engineering for his contribution to British engineering leading to market exploitation and he won the Institute of Engineering & Technology IT Award, also in 2006. In 2010, he gave the prestigious Vodafone lecture on mobile health at the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Centenary Lecture on Biomedical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. He received the 2015 Martin Black Prize from the Institute of Physics for the best paper in Physiological Measurement

He was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2012 New Year Honours for services to engineering and a 'Chevalier dans l'Ordre national du Mérite' by the French state in 2021.

Personal life
In 1978, Tarassenko married Lady Ann Mary Elizabeth Craven, daughter of William Craven, 6th Earl of Craven. The marriage was subsequently dissolved. He subsequently married Dr Anne E. Tarassenko. He has 3 children and 3 step-children. He is a Lay Canon of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford.

Eastrington

Eastrington is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 3 mi to the east of Howden and 17 mi south east of York.

The civil parish is formed by the village of Eastrington and the hamlets of Newland, Owsthorpe and Portington. According to the 2011 UK Census, Eastrington parish had a population of 1,147, an increase on the 2001 UK Census figure of 880. Eastrington lies within the Parliamentary constituency of Haltemprice and Howden an area that mainly consists of middle class suburbs, towns and villages. The area is affluent and has one of the highest proportions of owner-occupiers in the country.

The village is served by Eastrington railway station (formerly "South Eastrington") on the Hull to Selby railway line, and was historically also served by North Eastrington railway station on the Hull and Barnsley Railway.

Nearby Eastrington Ponds was designated a Local Nature Reserve in 2002 by the East Riding of Yorkshire Council. The village is served by a local shop and the Black Swan public house.

In 1823 Eastrington was in the Wapentake and liberty of Howdenshire. At the time the King was the patron of Eastrington's Church of St Michael. A Methodist chapel and a free school existed. The village had a population of 375, with occupations including six carpenters, four farmers, two shopkeepers, a shoemaker, a blacksmith, a corn miller, a tailor, and the landlord of the Bay Horse public house. Also directory-listed was a school master and a yeoman.

St Michael's Church
St Michael's Church, Eastrington is at the centre of the village. A church at Eastrington is mentioned in the 1086 Domesday Book, listed as part of the Howden manor, and in 1146 Eastrington was specifically mentioned as a chapel of Howden. Architecturally the church is a mixture of historical influences. The present chancel was probably in the original chapel. The walls are Norman with chamfered string courses both inside and out, as are the carved stone inside the building, steps on which the font stands and the gargoyles. Surviving records from accounts at Durham suggest that monks paid for some of the early medieval building work, while the north and south aisles were later additions and probably paid for by three local families - the Askes, Kayvills (or Cavilles) and Portingtons. In the Portington chapel, a "coffin shaped cross slab with lead filled design" can be found on the floor dated from the early 13th century, also a second cross slab carved in relief, dated from the late 13th century. There is a shield below the cross head, probably the Caville coat of arms.

Architectural evidence suggests that much of St Michael's Church building surviving today was built during the 14th century. The windows of the chapel are typical of the 14th century and a tombstone recorded as being in the church in 1584 was inscribed with the words "Orate pro animabus Nicholai de Portington, militis, qui istam capellam fieri fecit" (Pray for the soul of Nicholas Portington, knight, who caused this chapel to be built). It is thought to be that of Nicholas Portington who was still alive in 1327.

The church was designated a Grade I listed building in 1966 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England.

Brian Boru and all that
Hello Celticpunk. Sorry, but like a great many people, you are wrong on this point. Brian never united the island politically. All he did was establish himself as the most powerful king on the island and establish the basis for the island being united politically. That basis was badly shaken in 1014, swept away in 1022 on the death of Mael Sechnaill II, and though energeticlly fought for by the likes of Diarmait mac Mail na mBo, Tairrdelbach mac Ruaidri Ua Conchobair and indeed his Ua Brian descendants, was never to fully become a reality.

And Brian did not command the loyalty of every noble clan and province in the nation ... were that it were so. Why else do you think Clontarf was fought in the first place? Remember, it was primeraly a war between Munster and Leinster because Leinster (quite rightly) refused to pay the outragous borumna or tribute that Brian demanded. The Vikings merely fought as mercenerys on both sides or as partys looking after their own interests (such as the King of Dublin).

It is indicitive just how little loyalty Brian commanded if you look at those who accompanied him to Clontarf on the Irish side: "...Mael Sechnaill son of Domnall, king of Temair ... Mothla son of Domnall son of Faelán, king of the Déisi Muman; Eochu son of Dúnadach and Niall ua Cuinn and Ceinnéitig's son, —Brian's three companions; two kings of Uí Maine, Ua Cellaig . . . . . . . ., and Mael Ruanaid ua hEidin, king of Aidne, and Géibennach ua Dubagáin, king of Fernmag, and Mac Bethad son of Muiredach Claen, king of Ciarraige Luachra and Domnall son of Diarmait, king of Corcu Baiscinn, and Scannlán son of Cathal, king of Eóganacht of Loch Léin,"

Mael Sechnaill and Mothla mac Domnall were kings who had being forced into submission and had no reason to love Brian (Mael Sechnaill prudently refused to commit his forces untill well into the battle) while Tadhg Ua Ceallaigh and Maelruanaidh na Paidre Ua hEidhin were minor kings of two kingdoms long since reduced to vassal status. They were there because two of Brian's wives were of their respective dynastys. Also because they relied on Brian to keep the Ua Conchobhair from re-establishing their overlordship upon them.

The kings of Fernmag, Ciarraige Luachra, Corcu Baiscinn and Eoganacht Loch Lein were similarly small kings of reduced kingdoms, and none of them were politically or military important in their own right.

Despite what you say, Brian did not command the loyalty of important allies such as the Kings of Osraige, Aileach, Ulaidh (Ulster), Airgialla, Brefine or Connacht. In fact he had no important Irish allies at all beside the King of Meath, who hated him!

Now, as to your latter points:

1 - I take grave issue with you stateing that Ireland was annexed to England! Loose use of language, and worse, you make it sound like we gave up without a fight. And when exactly did this event take place?

2 - I agree totally with point A.

3 - B: Except that much of Ulster Protestant community never and still does not see itself as part of the Irish nation; they veiw themselves (correctly) as part of the British nation. You'll have to explain this to me, and then to them!

I'm not angry with you, just sad that so few people seem interested in our history, and those who do have such a terrible understanding of it. Please get back to me as you seem like someone who is genuinely intersted and can have a discussion not an argument. Cheers, and thanks! Fergananim 18:54, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

Klasik

The classical music of Afghanistan is called klasik, which includes both instrumental (rāgas, naghmehs) and vocal forms (ghazals). Many ustad, or professional musicians, are descended from Indian artists who emigrated to the royal court in Kabul in the 1860s upon the invitation of Amir Sher Ali Khan.

These north Indian musicians use Hindustani terminology and structures. Afghan ragas, in contrast to Indian ones, tend to be more focused on rhythm, and are usually played with the tabla, imported from India, or the native zerbaghali, daireh or dohol, all percussive instruments.

An important characteristic of the Afghan ghazal is that, unlike the Indian talas and ragas it is based on, Afghan ghazal features the "repetitive use of fast instrumental sections interpolated between units of text", an element derived from Pashtun music.

Afghan ghazal is viewed as a "light-classical" form of Indian music, which uses Persian texts consisting of a series of rhyming couplets, many written by spiritual poets like Bedil, Sa'adi and Hafez.

Also in Deadline, he co-created Fatal Charm with Shane Oakley. In 1991 he co-created the cyberpunk series Lazarus Churchyard with Warren Ellis.

Wells's The War of the Worlds in graphic novel form, and Leviathan, a Victorian horror series which appeared in 2000 AD, and contributed a two-part storyline to the Batman event No Man's Land. With Paul Cornell, he created XTNCT, a satirical series involving genetically modified dinosaurs, for the Judge Dredd Megazine.

As a writer-artist, he has created Future Shocks for 2000 AD, and Consequences, a one-off sequel to Timulo.

Chenango Valley State Park

Chenango Valley State Park is a 1137 acre state park located in Broome County, New York in the United States. The park is located adjacent to the Chenango River in western part of the Town of Fenton.

The park includes the 18-hole Chenango Valley State Park Golf Course.

Park description
Chenango Valley State Park offers a beach, picnic tables with pavilions, a playground, recreation programs, a 184-site campground, 24 cabins, sledding, a boat launch with boat rentals, and a food concession. Trails are available for hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing.

The park includes forested and wetland habitats; forested areas contain populations of woodpeckers, nuthatches, warblers and thrushes, while the lake and wetland areas host herons, ducks and kingfishers. The mature woodlands are noted for a particularly large number of pileated woodpeckers. For anglers, Chenango Lake includes trout, bass, perch and bullhead.

Two kettle lakes, Chenango Lake and Lily Lake, are found within the park. The lakes were formed as glaciers receded at the end of the most recent ice age.

The Chenango Valley State Park Golf Course is located within the park. The course, originally constructed as a 9-hole course by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, was expanded to its current 18-hole size in 1967.

Nikon D1

The Nikon D1 is a digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR) that was made by Nikon Corporation introduced on June 15, 1999. It features a 2.7-megapixel image sensor, 4.5-frames-per-second continuous shooting, and accepts the full range of Nikon F-mount lenses. The camera body strongly resembles the F5 and has the same general layout of controls, allowing users of Nikon film SLR cameras to quickly become proficient in using the camera. Autofocus speed on the D1 series bodies is extremely fast, even with "screw-driven" AF lenses.

Although Nikon and other manufacturers had produced digital SLR cameras for several years prior, the D1 was the first professional digital SLR that displaced Kodak's then-undisputed reign over the professional market.

Unusual for a DSLR, the D1 uses the NTSC color space instead of the conventional sRGB or Adobe RGB color spaces. The resulting color on the D1 can be a bit unorthodox, but methods of correcting and/or compensating for the color problem are readily available.

D1H and D1X
The D1 was replaced by the D1H and D1X on February 5, 2001. The D1X offered higher resolution with a 2,000 x 1,312 - 5.3 effective megapixels sensor (3,008 x 1,960 interpolated image output, and continuous shooting of 3 frames per second for up to 21 consecutive shots. The D1H is oriented towards fast-action photography, keeping the same 2.7 megapixels image sensor as the D1, but pushing the frame rate to 5 frame/s for up to 40 consecutive shots. Both the D1H and D1X use the sRGB/AdobeRGB color spaces, which is an improvement over the original D1.

Development and sensor design
Development began on the D1 in 1996, when digital imaging was in its infancy in the consumer market. At that time the major market leader for DSLR cameras was Kodak, who produced their own image sensors and assembled digital cameras under the brand Kodak DCS. The DCS cameras were based upon 35 mm SLR cameras, replacing the film back with one incorporating a CCD sensor. This in turn was connected to a power supply and image processing and storage unit that is either carried separately or attached to the base of the camera body. While these cameras offer the convenience of digital imaging to normal photographers, their appeal was limited by huge price-tags and issues with sensor size, resolution, and performance in comparison to film.

Nikon therefore stood to gain a significant market advantage if they could manage to offer a digital camera that had been designed from the ground up. The goal was ambitious; Nikon sought to produce professional-grade cameras using large high-resolution sensors for only a few thousand dollars at a time when the Kodak DCS 460, based on a Nikon F90X and provided with a 6 megapixel 27.6 × 18.4 mm CCD sensor, was retailing for over US$30,000. Price was just one of the hurdles encountered; engineers also had to consider how to design and mass-produce a high-resolution and high-sensitivity sensor that could be powered by batteries and sustain a continuous frame-rate suitable for journalistic use.

Initially no major sensor manufacturer was prepared to produce the sensor for Nikon, believing that the predicted sales volumes were completely unrealistic. Eventually though a source was located and prototype designs entered production. Several years of refinement followed - working to reduce power use and improve read speeds - until a design was perfected.

The final design that is used in the D1 is a 23.7 × 15.6 mm CCD producing images with a final resolution of 2000 × 1312 pixels (approximately 2.7 megapixels), and this is the figure that was used for marketing the camera. The sensor was praised for its high base sensitivity of ISO 200, its excellent signal-to-noise ratio especially at base sensitivity, and its capacity for continuous shooting at five frames per second.

At the time, Bjørn Rørslett famously stated that the camera spelled "The End of The Beginning  (of the digital era) -  The Beginning of The End (of the film era)". The development of the D1 is generally accepted as one of the major milestones in the development of the digital camera, and Kodak's initial market dominance was genuinely threatened for the first time.

In a later "behind the scenes" interview published on the Nikon website it was revealed by the General Manager of Nikon's Imaging Development Management Department that the sensor developed for and used in the D1, and subsequently the D1H, actually used 10.8 million photosites rather than the 2.7 million that had previously been suggested. This allowed multiple photosites to be grouped together into units that formed the final pixels in the image, contributing to the sensor's high sensitivity and excellent signal-to-noise ratio.

Talk:Piebald (band)

Untitled
Piebald isn't an indie-rock band - it's much to narrow of a description. I broadened the genre and labelled them as Alternative Rock, which is pretty hard to disagree with.

This article has a lot of opinion and very little fact. Fix it.

POV
I love piebald, but this is one of the most POV articles I've ever read. It reads like a press release. I would fix it, but I agree with everything that's been written. Someone who likes them less should do the work. Antimatter--talk-- 06:27, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Piebald logo.jpg
Image:Piebald logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

Travis
Travis Shettel really does warrant his own article, or at the very least a red link. He's certainly a proficient enough lyricist, and he's started two reasonably successful bands. Also, can someone find some free use pictures of piebald? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.231.124.65 (talk) 20:47, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Qawra

Qawra (Il-Qawra, ) is a zone within St. Paul's Bay in the Northern Region, Malta. Located close to Buġibba and Salina, it is a popular tourist resort, containing many hotels and restaurants.

Around 1638, the Order of St. John built Qawra Tower at Qawra Point, as part of a series of fortifications defending Malta's coastline. A battery was built around it in 1715, while an entrenchment wall was added in the 1760s. Today, the tower and battery are a restaurant, and parts of the entrenchment can still be seen.

The town is home to many water-sport activities, including banana boat, speed boat and jetski rides, as well as kayaking, snorkeling and diving. The area is also well known as the "touristy" area of Malta due to the many bars which show British football. Summer temperatures can be as hot as 40 C, with an average of over 30 C. Casinos, bars, and clubs are also a major part of this small town. Many people swim and bathe off the rocks, which provide ample space for sun bathing. It is popular with tourists who like to walk by the sea at night.

Parish
The parochial church of Qawra is dedicated to St Francis of Assisi. The parish incorporates both Qawra and the neighbouring locality of Bugibba in its geographical area. The parish feast is celebrated on 17 September which commemorates the impression of the stigmata on Saint Francis. The church in Qawra began functioning as a parish on 8 December 2004 and the first parish priest was Fr. Ġorġ Zammit, OFM conv. The architect of the church building was Richard England. It is a modern-style church, unlike the Latin cross style in most other parishes in Malta.

Sightseeing
The main attractions in Qawra include:
 * Malta National Aquarium
 * Malta Classic Car Museum
 * Buġibba Temple is located on the border of Qawra and Buġibba
